In the morning, we went canoeing and trekking, and in the afternoon, we did snorkeling.
Canoeing was relaxing as we could paddle while enjoying the scenery, making it a laid-back experience. During the trekking, listening to the staff's stories made it more enjoyable than tiring. We even saw a snake along the way, which was amusing!
In the afternoon, the weather was perfect for snorkeling, and I was able to see the sea turtles I had always wanted to see! The staff took photos for us, and they shared them later, allowing us to enjoy the experience twice. It created the best memories! ✨
Thank you very much!
午前にカヌーとトレッキング、午後はシュノーケリングの流れでした。
カヌーはのんびりと景色を見ながら漕ぐことが出来て、ゆったり楽しめる感じでした。
トレッキングはスタッフさんの話を聞きながらまわれたこともあり、キツさよりも楽しさの方が大きかったです。
途中でハブがいました笑
午後からのシュノーケリングは天気にも恵まれ、念願のウミガメを見ることが出来ました!
スタッフさんが写真を撮ってくださって、それを後で共有してもらえたので、2度楽しめました。
最高の思い出ができました✨
ありがとうございました!

I received a call the day before, informing me that the ferry to Uehara would likely be canceled, so I was directed to take the bus to Ohara instead. On the day of the tour, that turned out to be the case, and I ended up being the only participant, making it feel like a private tour. We started with a canoe ride down the river, and in the second half, we did some light trekking up to the waterfall. I was moved by the gradient of the sea and sky seen through the waterfall. It was quite windy, so I got soaked from the splashes, but there was also a beautiful rainbow. Since it was almost a private tour, the guide provided thorough explanations, and as someone who loves nature, it was very enriching for me. On the way back, we leisurely canoed, freeing myself from work stress, and it became an unforgettable memory. I may seem unsociable, but I was much more moved than I appear. Thank you to the Monsoon team and Mr. Fujiwara.
前日に電話をいただき、上原行きの船が欠航になるだろうから大原行に乗り、そこからバスへと案内いただいた。当日は、その通りとなり、ツアー参加するが、時期のせいなのか私一人しかおらず、個人ツアー状態となりました。前半はカヌーで川を進み、後半は軽くトレッキングで滝上迄。そこからの滝越しの海と空のグラディエーションに感動。風が強かったので飛沫があたりびしょ濡れでしたが、虹もでて素敵なんですよ。半個人ツアー常態なので、丁寧に説明していただき、自然が好きな自分なので、非常に為になりました。帰りもカヌーでマッタリ進み、仕事のストレスから開放され、忘れられない思い出となりました。私は無愛想なんですが、見た目より数倍感動してますので。モンスーンの方々、藤原さん、ありがとうございました。

It seems that about half of 2022 was rainy, but we were blessed with the best weather during October and November! Due to the waves and wind, we couldn't go snorkeling, but instead, the water buffalo cart experience on Yufu Island was amazing! The time spent traveling back and forth on the water buffalo cart, accompanied by the sound of the sanshin, and the beautiful scenery that truly represents the tropics was wonderful! Above all, Gakki from ADVENTURE PiPi was adorable and soothing! Her voice was clear and easy to understand, and there was a nice contrast in her energetic guidance. Thank you for the fun time!
2022年は半分くらい雨の日だったようですが、10.11月の中で最もコンディションが良い晴天に恵まれました!波風のため?シュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、代わりに体験させて頂いた水牛車の由布島は最高でした!三線の音色ともに水牛車で往復する時間や由布島でのこれぞ南国という景観が素晴らしかったです!何よりADVENTURE PiPiのガッキーさんが、可愛くて癒されました!声もよく通って聞き取りやすく、ちゃきちゃきした案内には良いギャップがありました^ ^

Due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to Barasu Island, but the Pinai Sara Falls were truly wonderful. Canoeing while looking at the mangroves felt very subtropical. During the trekking, they explained various plants, and it was definitely better to go with a guide because I could understand Iriomote Island more deeply by hearing different explanations and stories. The rice balls for lunch were incredibly delicious. I felt rejuvenated after playing by the waterfall.
台風の影響でバラス島は行けなくなったのですがピナイサーラの滝は本当に良かったです
マングローブ見ながらのカヌーは本当に亜熱帯
トレッキングでは色んな植物の説明をしてくれて
やっぱり個人で行くより色んな説明やお話を聞く事でより深く西表島を分かる事ができるので良かったです

I was worried that the bad weather would prevent us from seeing the stars, but the wind cleared the clouds, and we were able to enjoy the best starry sky. The stars in the pitch darkness, the bioluminescent plankton, the fireflies, and the mangroves created a truly magical and wonderful experience.

We participated in this tour when my wife and I visited Iriomote Island for our honeymoon.
First, let me say this: this tour is amazing.
It's a highly satisfying package that allows you to fully enjoy nature beyond the sea for a whole day, with activities like canoeing and caving.
You can observe living creatures closely while listening to explanations from a qualified nature observation instructor who conducts bird research. If you love animals, this tour will definitely exceed your expectations.
Even if you're not that into animals, the guide is friendly, so those who focus on canoeing and activities will have plenty of fun.
Even beginners in canoeing will be able to enjoy it without any issues thanks to the lectures, and during trekking, they will show you safe and easy walking points. They provide all the necessary equipment, which is a great point for participating in the tour with peace of mind.
Regarding ease of access:
Since it takes a full day, it can be physically demanding. Canoeing can be tough, especially when it's windy.
Also, there aren't many opportunities to use the restroom, so be sure to consult with the guide as needed.
Regarding activities:
Since you enjoy three activities in one day, it may not be suitable for those who want to focus deeply on just one.
But if you want to enjoy a lot at a great value, you’ll be just fine!
Anyway, the guide is wonderful.
They are friendly, knowledgeable, and cheerful, making the tour enjoyable, so give it a try!

妻と新婚旅行で西表島に来たときに参加しました。
まず感想を言わせてください。このツアー最高です。
海以外の自然を一日かけて存分に満喫し、カヌーやケイビングなどのアクティビティも楽しめる満足度の高いパッケージングです。
鳥類の研究を行なっている、自然観察指導員の資格を持った方の解説を聞きながら、生き物をじっくり観察できます。生き物が好きならば、大満足のツアーになることは間違いありません。
生き物がそこまで好きではなくても、ガイドさんが気さくな方なので、カヌーやアクティビティ重視の方でも十分楽しめます。
カヌー初心者でも、レクチャーで問題なく楽しめるようになりますし、トレッキングでは安全な歩きやすいポイントを教えてくれます。道具は全て用意してくれるので、安心してツアーに参加できるのはとても良いポイントです。
お手軽度に関して。
一日フルで使うので、体力の消耗は激しいです。特に風が強いとカヌーが大変です。
また、トイレに行けるタイミングは多くないので、都度ガイドさんに相談しましょう。
アクティビティに関して。
一日で3つを楽しむため、一つをじっくり楽しみたい方には向いていないかもしれません。
お得にたくさん楽しみたい方は大丈夫です!
とにかく、ガイドさんが素晴らしい方です。
気さくで物知りで明るい、ツアーを楽しくしてくれる方なので、参加してみてください!
Hello,

Due to bad weather, we couldn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island, but we participated in a mangrove canoe tour in the morning.
It was my first time on Iriomote Island, but our guide, Gakki, shared various stories about the island on the way to our destination, which made the journey exciting.
At first, I struggled to paddle as I had hoped, getting stuck and bumping into trees, but it was thrilling and a lot of fun.
We were able to see the beautiful Sagari-bana, which blooms briefly, and felt the power of nature while soaking in negative ions at the waterfall at the end. It was a truly precious time!
Gakki also took many wonderful photos, and just looking back at them brings back the fun memories. I thought it would be great to come back during the peak bloom of the Sagari-bana or for a revenge trip to Barasu Island. It became a lovely memory of our honeymoon. Thank you, Gakki! ♡
悪天候のためバラス島でのシュノーケリングは叶いませんでしたが、午前中のみのコースでマングローブカヌーのツアーに参加しました。
西表島は初めてでしたが、ポイントまでの道中でガイドのガッキーが西表島のいろいろな話をしてくださったので、ワクワクしながら向かうことができました。
最初は思ったように進めず、座礁したり木に突っ込んだりしましたが、スリルがあってとても楽しかったです。
すぐに散ってしまうというサガリバナが綺麗な状態で見られたり、ゴールの滝でマイナスイオンを浴びながら大自然のパワーを感じたりと、大変貴重な時間を過ごすことができました!
素敵なお写真もたくさん撮ってくださっていて、見返すだけで楽しかった時間が蘇ってきます。次はサガリバナが満開の時期か、バラス島のリベンジでまた来たいなと思いました。新婚旅行の素敵な思い出になりました。ガッキー、ありがとう♡

I was concerned about the incorrect information regarding the pickup during the reservation, but I participated anyway. The guide provided a thorough explanation of the nature of Iriomote Island, showed great care for safety during the trekking, and quickly provided the tour photos, allowing us to have a wonderful time. Additionally, I appreciated being able to enjoy lunch in a scenic location after the tour.

I had heard that getting to the top of Pisainara Falls is quite challenging, but with the guides checking on us and allowing breaks, we were able to trek more energetically than I expected.
The various explanations during the trekking and canoeing were easy to understand and very educational. Also, the casual conversations were enjoyable (laughs).
The handmade rice balls we ate at the top of the falls were delicious!
Swimming in the pool at the base of the falls after sweating felt really refreshing.
Next time, I definitely want to request other tours with Monsoon! I will visit Iriomote Island again when I feel tired from work!
ピサイナーラの滝の滝上に行くのはけっこう大変だと聞いていましたが、私達の様子を見ながら休憩を入れたりしていただき、思っていたより元気にトレッキングすることができました。
トレッキング中やカヌー中のさまざまな説明もわかりやすくてとても勉強になりました。また、雑談も楽しかったです(笑)
滝上で食べた手作りのおにぎりもとてもおいしかったです!
汗をかいた後に滝壺で泳いだのがまたとても気持ちよくてよかったです。
次回はぜひ、モンスーンさんで他のツアーもお願いしたいと思いました!
また仕事に疲れたら西表島に行きます!

It was a three-generation participation. I was worried about my 6-year-old grandchild, but they charged ahead, and the grandparents were the ones struggling to keep up. It was my first experience with canoeing, but somehow I managed. When we fell into the waterfall pool, I was drenched in sweat, but it felt amazing. Even in my 60s, I was fine. Surrounded by nature, I forgot about the daily rush and enjoyed the sounds of water and cicadas. Thank you to the instructor for being kind and interacting with my 6-year-old grandchild. This was an activity I would definitely recommend when visiting Iriomote Island.

Due to the conditions of the waves the day before, we were informed that it was possible to change to a half-day canoe and trekking tour (7,000 yen per person). After considering it, I got back to them. When I followed up, I was told that caving was also available, so I requested that tour, but there was no explanation about the pricing at that time, and after the tour, I was charged 12,000 yen per person. I had the understanding that it would be around 7,000 yen, so I would have appreciated a clear explanation if there was a change in the price.
Additionally, after being informed that we could not land on Barasu Island, I booked another tour company, and we were able to land on Barasu Island and go snorkeling.
The introduction to the creatures during the cave exploration and canoeing, as well as the information about Iriomote Island, was very interesting and enjoyable. However, on the day of the tour, there were many people, and I was unsure where to wait for photos in narrow spaces. While taking pictures as we progressed in the canoe, there were times when we got stuck and were bumped from behind, so I would have liked clearer instructions and guidance. I was told that the hotel pick-up time was 16:30, but we actually arrived around 17:15.
We waited for the shower for the same group going to the port, and after being taken to the port, we were then taken back to the hotel. Since I had other plans afterward, I would have appreciated it if the staff, who were numerous at the office, could have taken that into consideration in case of significant changes.
前日に波等の関係でバラス島へ上陸できない為、半日のカヌー&トレッキングツアー(1人7,000円)の変更は可能とのご連絡があり、一度検討し折り返しをいたしました。
折り返しした際、ケイビングもできるとのお話でそちらのツアーをお願いしましたがその際料金についての説明はなく、ツアー後1人12,000円を請求されました。7,000円程度実施できるとの認識だった為、料金変更が場合はしっかり説明頂きたかったです。
また、バラス島上陸できない旨の連絡があった後別のツアー会社を予約したところしバラス島への上陸、シュノーケリングの実施ができました。
洞窟探検、カヌー時に生き物の紹介や西表島の紹介をして頂けた点はとても面白く楽しかったですが、当日のツアーも人数が多く、狭い場所での写真撮影はどこで待ってたら良いのか、カヌーで進みながら写真を撮る際にに後ろがつっかえて後ろから突っ込まれたりとしたのでしっかり指示、案内をして頂きたかったのと、ホテル送迎時刻を16:30と伝えられていたが実際到着したのは17:15頃でした。
同じグループの港行きのシャワーを待ち、港に送迎後ホテルに送迎され、
その後の予定もあったので大幅に変更になる際は事務所に多数のスタッフもいた為、ご配慮頂けたら嬉しかったです。

Originally, I had signed up for the SUP @ Mangrove and snorkeling tour at Barasu Island, but due to poor conditions around Barasu Island, I received an inquiry the day before asking, "Would you like to cancel? Or switch to another tour?" Since I was already there, I decided to book the trekking and SUP @ Mangrove tour, and that turned out to be a great decision! The instructor, Matsuko, had only been there for a few months, but she was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island. She shared many interesting tidbits during our travel, including stories about the road construction that was halted and a simulator game at the wildcat museum.
After arriving, we all moved to the point with a simple mountain climb. Along the way, she introduced us to the flora and fauna of Iriomote Island. Coincidentally, there were four couples participating, including my husband and me: a couple who were masters of remote islands, a chatty couple from Kansai (Shikoku), and a calm yet friendly couple. Everyone was very approachable, and we became close through activities like diving. My usually quiet husband seemed to have a lot of fun, adding his own flair during the dives and really enjoying himself. At the end of the activities, the remote island master couple recommended a dining spot, which we promptly visited. The other couples also enjoyed hearing stories about different remote islands from them. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories, instructor Matsuko, and to all the couples! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Oh, and about the clothing: I thought I would be wearing a wetsuit over my swimsuit, so I wore my swimsuit, but the equipment provided included only a helmet, shoes, and a jacket. Everyone else was dressed in T-shirts or rash guards over their swimsuits, and shorts or leggings. I didn't have those, so I ended up wearing pajamas (short-sleeved & relaxed fit) over my swimsuit, which felt quite silly and embarrassing, especially since it would be captured in photos (though it could make for a funny story). I think it would be wise to consider your outfit if you participate!
もともと、SUP@マングローブとバラス島上陸のシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでいましたが、バラス島周辺のコンディションが悪く、「キャンセルしますか?別のツアーにしますか?」の問い合わせが前日にありました。折角なのでトレッキングとSUP@マングローブでツアーを申し込んだ所、それがもう大正解!インストラクターのマツコさんはまだ来て数ヶ月との事でしたが、西表島の事をよくご存知で、道路工事が途中で中断してしまった話や、ヤマネコの博物館(?)のシュミレーターゲームの話などなど、移動中に小ネタを沢山話してくれました。到着後、皆でポイントまで簡単な山登りをしながら移動。途中、西表島の動植物についても紹介してもらいました。たまたま参加していたメンバーが、私達夫婦を含めて4カップル。離島マスター夫婦、お喋り関西人夫婦(四国)、穏やかだけど気さくに話せる夫婦、とメンバーも皆親しみやすく、飛び込みを始めとしたアクティビティを通じて仲良くなりました。普段寡黙な主人も相当楽しかったようで、飛び込み時にアレンジを加えたり、凄く楽しんでいました。アクティビティ終わりには離島マスター夫婦からおススメの食事処を教えてもらい、早速訪ねてみました。他の夫婦達も離島マスター夫婦から別の離島の話を聞いたりして楽しんでました。本当に最高の思い出をありがとうございました、インストラクターのマツコさん、それぞれの夫婦の皆さま!残りの旅を楽しんでください!
そうだ、あとは、服装ですが、私は水着の上からウェットスーツを着用すると思ったので、水着を着て行ったのですが、装備として渡されるのは、ヘルメットとシューズとジャケットのみなので、皆は水着の上にTシャツやラッシュガード、下はスパッツにハーパンのような格好でした。私はそれらの用意がなかったので、水着の上からパジャマ(半袖&リラコ)を着用して臨みましたが、大分ダサくて恥ずかしかったですし笑、写真にも残ってしまうので(ネタにはなりますが笑)ご参加される際は、格好を考えたほうがいいかもなって思いました。

We participated with two elementary school children, making a group of four. It was our first experience with canoeing, but we enjoyed it thanks to the guide's lecture! We were able to go to places that the sightseeing boat couldn't reach, and we really enjoyed observing the mangroves up close. It seems that depending on the tide, we might not be able to go far in, but we could see rare creatures, and since even the kids could paddle, I think it's great for families too.
小学生2人の子供と4人で参加しました。カヌーは初体験でしたが、ガイドさんのレクチャーもあり楽しめました!遊覧船では入れないとこまで行けるし、間近でマングローブを観察出来て本当に楽しめました。潮の時間によっては奥まで行けないこともあるらしいですが、珍しい生物も見れるし子供でも漕げたのでファミリーにも良いと思います。

On the day of the event, our 10-year-old got seasick on the ferry and unfortunately didn't recover for the rest of the day. Since it was just our family, they were very attentive to our child's condition and adjusted the pace, allowing us to move comfortably.
Canoeing was incredibly fun! When we reached the waterfall, our 7-year-old, who usually gets scared and doesn't want to go down slides, jumped into the water and had a great time playing energetically. The handmade Yaeyama soba we had there was warm and truly delicious. The pork was homemade by the wife, and it was tender and fantastic!
In the end, considering the children's condition, we decided not to go to Yubujima and took an early ferry back. They told us about Yamaneko Park and kindly drove us there. This park is a great place to relax, and it's close to Ohara Port. Our older child was able to lie down and sleep soundly until the ferry, which really improved their mood. The younger one found the Yamaneko slide a bit scary and gave up halfway, but they had a lot of fun playing in the park.
I apologize for the sudden health issues, but they handled everything very kindly, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I would be happy to try again if possible.
7歳、10歳の子連れで参加しました。カヌーは初めてで、どういった準備が正しいのか不安でしたが、前日にお電話を頂き、丁寧に質問に答えて頂いてとても安心しました。
当日は、10歳の子がフェリーで酔ってしまい、以後残念ながらずっと体調が快復しませんでした。今回は私達家族のみでしたので、とても細やかに体調を気遣って頂き、ペースも合わせて下さり無理のない動きが出来ました。
カヌーは最高に楽しかったです!滝つぼに着くと、7歳の子は普段は怖がってスライダーも滑りたがらない子ですが、この日はいっぱい水に飛び込んで本当に元気に楽しく遊べました。
ここで頂いた手作り八重山そばは温かくて、本当に美味しかったです。ソーキは奥様の手作りで、トロトロで最高でした!
結局、子どもの体調を考えて、由布島には渡らず早めのフェリーで帰る事にしました。ヤマネコパークがありますよと教えて頂き、そこまで送って貰いました。ここは本当にゆっくりできる公園で、大原港からも近く、上の子はフェリーまで横になってぐっすり眠れたので、かなり気分が改善できました。下の子も、ヤマネコの滑り台は怖くて途中でリタイアしましたが、公園で沢山遊べました。
急な体調不良でご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、とても丁寧に対応して頂いて、良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。またリベンジ出来たら嬉しいです。
Dear Yosshi,
Hello. This is Iohata from Iriomote Island Komorebi Trip. Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day! I also appreciate your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that your child's seasickness didn't improve as much as expected, and that they weren't feeling well during the tour. However, I'm sure they were able to feel the power of nature all around them.
Next time, I hope everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest!
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed our specialty, Soki Soba! We're still working hard to improve our skills, so we're experimenting to make it even more delicious! Look forward to it next time!
We sincerely look forward to your participation again. Thank you!

こんにちは。
西表島コモレビトリップの五十畑です。
先日は当店のツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございました☆
体験談もいただきありがとうございます。
お子さまの船酔いが思いのほか回復せず、ツアー中も調子が上がらず残念でしたね。
でもきっと大自然のパワーを全身で感じてくれたはずです。
次回は皆様で思いっきり遊んでくださいね~(^^♪
当店自慢のソーキそばも喜んでいただけてうれしいです!
こちらもまだまだ腕を上げていきたいので、さらに美味しくなるように試行錯誤中でございます!

Snorkeling at Barasu Island in the morning.
In the afternoon, we did mangrove stand-up paddleboarding.
It was a full-day course, and it ended so quickly because we had so much fun.
Our guide was Gakki.
Her powerful guidance was at just the right pace—not too fast and not too slow!
Thanks to her, we talked about so many things throughout the day about the ocean and the mangroves, making it an incredibly enjoyable day!
I made great memories on my first visit to Iriomote Island!
朝からバラス島シュノーケリング。
お昼からはマングローブsup。
一日コースでしたが楽しくあっという間に終わりました。
案内してくれたのはガッキーさん。
パワフルな彼女の案内ははやすぎず暇すぎず丁度良いスピードでした!
お陰様で海もマングローブも色んな事を終始お話ししてもらえてめっちゃくちゃ楽しい1日でした!
初めての西表島にいい思い出ができました!

It was a half-day tour, but we enjoyed kayaking, trekking, and jumping into the waterfall! It was fulfilling, and everything was a lot of fun! We were also able to take many photos! The handmade lunch was very delicious.
半日のツアーでしたが、カヤック、トレッキング、滝つぼにドボン!充実していてすべてとても楽しめました!
写真もたくさん撮っていただけました!
お弁当が手作りでとても美味しかったです。

I was worried about my physical stamina as I entered my 50s, but in the end, I was able to keep up without any problems.
The guide was experienced and made the trekking and canoeing enjoyable by sharing stories about the nature of Iriomote Island.
At the beginning of the canoeing, they taught us how to operate the canoe, and once we were on it, it felt manageable.
Along the way, they provided detailed instructions about shallow areas and obstacles, so I was able to paddle with confidence.
During the trekking, they also informed us about slightly dangerous spots in advance, and they allowed the least fit person to lead, which made it easy to enjoy the experience. They took photos at key moments, so we created wonderful memories as a family.
I think this is a great tour for experiencing the nature of Iriomote Island. Thank you, guide!
50代に入り体力的に心配でしたが、終わってみて、問題なくついていくことができました。
ガイドの方は経験豊富で西表島の自然についてお話を交えながらトレッキングやカヌーを楽しませて下さいました。
カヌーの始めに操作の仕方を教えて下さいますし、乗った後は感覚的に何とかなるものでした。
途中も浅いところ、障害物があるところなど、細かく教えて下さるので、安心して漕ぐことが出来ました。
トレッキング中も少し危ないところなどは予め教えて下さいますし、一番体力のない人を先頭に進み、安心して楽しむことが出来ました。要所要所で写真も撮っていただいたので、家族揃って、とても良い思い出が出来ました。
西表島の自然を体感するのにとても良いツアーだと思います。ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

I signed up for snorkeling, and the visibility was even better than I expected; the time flew by! I was able to see sea turtles, and the staff took photos and sent them to me, so I was satisfied to have those memories captured. When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I would love to sign up again!
シュノーケルを楽しみに申し込みましたが予想以上に透明度がすごく、あっという間の時間でした!ウミガメも見れたし、スタッフの方が写真撮って送ってくれたので思い出を写真で残すことができて満足!石垣島にもう一度くる時はまた申し込みたいなと思います!

The staff were very kind, and I enjoyed both the canoeing in the mangroves and the snorkeling at Balas Island. It was also a stroke of luck to see sea turtles in the coral reef. I didn't expect to get seasick while floating alone during snorkeling, though.
スタッフの方が非常に親切で、マングローブでのカヌー、バラス島のシュノーケリングいずれも楽しませでいただきました。珊瑚礁で海亀が見られたことも幸運でした。1人シュノーケリングで浮かんでいると、波酔いになってしまったのは想定外でしたが

The water surface was calm, making it easy for beginners to get on the canoe quickly. The guide's explanations about the mangroves and the island's creatures were clear and kept us engaged. Swimming in the waterfall pool was also refreshing. The Yaeyama soba we had at the café run by the guide after the tour was delicious.
水面が穏やかでカヌーは初心者でもすぐに乗れるようになりました。
マングローブや島の生き物などのガイドさんの解説も分かりやすく飽きることはありませんでした。
滝つぼでの水泳も気持ちよかったです。
ツアー後にガイドさんの経営しているカフェで食べた八重山そばも美味しかったです。
Thank you for using our services. We look forward to serving you again in the future.
この度は、ご利用いただきありがとうございました。また機会が有ればよろしくお願い致します。

The day before, I was surprised to learn that if I didn't reconfirm within a limited time, it would be a forced cancellation. During the phone call, I was told, "You know where to meet for the rental car, right? It's by the statue of the wildcat," and I was left speechless... However, when I actually met the guide, he was a seasoned professional who gave off a reassuring vibe, just like the old days!
After our greeting, he suddenly emphasized multiple times, "It's tougher than you might imagine," which I think should be mentioned in the tour details... This is essential information to know before participating in the tour. That's why I decided to write this review.
Since it was scorching hot, I recommend that parents in their 40s and 50s who are desk workers and not used to physical activity really prepare themselves for the summer heat. It's a very enjoyable tour, so I think kids will be just fine! The waterfall was breathtaking and absolutely wonderful!
Also, during low tide, you have to pull the canoe and walk quite a distance on sandy ground, so I believe it could be quite challenging if you don't check the timing. When we went, we barely managed to walk about 20 meters, so we made it back safely.
前日、限られた時間に、こちらからリコンファームしないと強制キャンセルとのことで、驚きました。電話の際も「レンタカーの集合は、やまねこの銅像のとこ、わかるでしょ?」と言われ唖然・・・。でも実際お会いすると、「納得な」感じのベテランのガイドさんで、昔ながらの頼りがいのある方でした!!
が、集合のご挨拶後いきなり「想像以上にきついですから」と何度も念押しされ、、、、それはツアー内容に書いておいほしい・・・。ツアーに参加する前に必要な情報ですよね。。。なのでここに口コミすることにしました。
炎天下ですので真夏はかなり気合いれて参加してください@デスクワークで体動かしていない40~50代のお父さんお母さん。とても楽しいツアーですのでお子さんは全然大丈夫とおもいます!!滝は圧巻ですばらしかった!
なお、干潮時は、カヌーを引っ張ってかなりの距離、砂地歩くのでこの時間帯を確認しないと大変なことになると思います。私らの時はギリギリ、20mほどあるく程度ですんだので、生還できました。
Thank you for using our service. I think it can be quite tough for those who don't walk regularly. The heat in Okinawa must have made it even more challenging. If there's another opportunity, I look forward to working with you again. Thank you.
この度は、ご利用いただきましてありがとうございました。日頃歩かれない方には、かなりきついと思います。沖縄の暑さもあって大変だったと思います。
また機会があればよろしくお願い致します。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island. I took the designated ferry at the specified time for the outbound trip and returned on the last ferry at 17:30. The 16:30 ferry would also work, but it might be a bit rushed, so I would recommend the 17:30 one.
The tour itself was amazing!! There were even small children (around 5 years old) participating.
石垣島からの日帰りにて参加
行きは指定の時間のフェリーに乗り
帰りは17:30の最終便に乗りました
16:30の便でも間に合いますがちょっとバタバタするので17:30のがオススメかもしれないです。
ツアー自体は最高でした!!
小さいお子さん(5歳ぐらいの)も参加してました。
