The weather was unfortunately rainy, but it was a wonderful activity. The guide was very nice and introduced us to many things about Iriomote Island. Thank you very much. The mangrove canoe experience and trekking tour offered exciting experiences that you can't usually have. They also provided free transportation to the port, which was great. Since it was raining, we had lunch inside Monsoon, where we enjoyed a very large rice ball, fried chicken, pickled daikon, a boiled egg, and miso soup, which warmed us up and filled our stomachs.
天候は、あいにくの雨模様でしたが、素晴らしいアクティビティでした。ガイドさんも、とても良い方で、西表島のことについていろんなことを紹介してくださいました。本当にありがとうございます。マングローブカヌー体験やトレッキングツアーでは、普段できないような刺激的な体験ができます。港までは無料で送迎してくれますので、そこもよかったです。雨だったので昼食はモンスーンさんの中で食べましたが、とても大きいおにぎりと唐揚げとたくあんとゆで卵と味噌汁がついてきて、寒かった体もとても暖まり、お腹いっぱいになりました。

This time, we participated in a family trip with eight people from three households. I was a bit worried about the shuttle bus since it looked a little old, but once we joined, canoeing, trekking, and playing in the river by the waterfall were absolutely fantastic! Everyone was thrilled and very satisfied, saying that canoeing was the most fun part of the trip. Thank you for the enjoyable time! I hope to go again if there’s another opportunity. Thank you!
今回、3世帯の8人で家族旅行で参加しました。
送迎のバスは少し年季が入っていて、大丈夫かなと思っていましたが、参加してみるとカヌー、トレッキング、滝を見ての川遊びは最高に楽しかったです!
この旅行で1番楽しかったのはカヌーだったとみんな喜んで大満足でした。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました!
また機会がありましたら行きたいなと思っております。
ありがとうございました

Kayaking was easy for beginners to grasp, but the path to the waterfall was quite challenging for me, perhaps due to my lack of regular exercise, as I had to climb over rocks in several places. The younger participants seemed to handle it effortlessly (laughs). However, I was grateful for our guide, who not only taught us about the unique plants and wildlife of Iriomote Island in a fun way but also took care to walk with us. The handmade bento while enjoying the view of the waterfall was fantastic.
カヤックは初心者でも簡単にコツがつかめましたが、肝心の瀧まで行く道は私にとっては日頃の運動不足のせいか、ところどころ足を次の岩場にかけて登ったりとハードでした。若い方は楽勝でしたが(笑)ただ、ガイドさんに西表島特有の植物や、生物を楽しく教えてもらいなかわら、また気を遣って歩いて下さるなどして頂きありがたかったです。手作りのおべんとうも滝つぼを眺めながら最高でした、

I booked the Iriomote Island Mangrove Kayak & Barasu Island Snorkeling one-day course. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, it was changed to a tour of water buffaloes on Yubu Island. We went kayaking through the mangrove forest and walked underwater to see the waterfall. Both the mangroves and the waterfall were wonderful, but it was very cold, and it would have been nice to have been provided with wetsuits. It would have been even better if we could have gone deeper into the mangrove forest with the kayak.
The water buffalo tour on Yubu Island was surprisingly enjoyable, as the buffalo were cuter than I imagined. The guide was kind and gentle, and took many beautiful photos for us. Along the way, we unexpectedly encountered a very rare mantis shrimp, and it was impressive to see the guide more excited than the tour guests. Overall, it was a satisfying tour, aside from the weather!

マングローブ原生林をカヤックと水中を歩いて滝を見に行きました。マングローブも滝もすばらしかったですが、とても気温が低く、ウエットスーツを貸していただけるとよかったです。カヤックも原生林の奥深くまで行けるともっとよかったです。
由布島の水牛観光は、想像以上に牛が可愛く行けてよかったです。ガイドさんも親切で優しく、綺麗な写真をたくさん撮っていただきました。道中、大変珍しいシャコと偶然遭遇し、ガイドさんがツアー客以上に興奮していたのが印象的でした。天気以外は満足のツアー!

My first time on Iriomote Island, I had a lot of things I wanted to try, so I chose a packed itinerary with mangrove canoeing, trekking to Pinai Sara Falls, and cave exploration. It was my first time canoeing, but following the guide's advice made it easy. As we paddled down the empty river, we saw mangrove forests on both sides, and a relaxed atmosphere enveloped us. After the canoeing, we set off on a trek towards Pinai Sara Falls. There were steep paths, but the guide stopped at intervals to explain the trees in the forest, making the walk enjoyable. It seems you can even enter the waterfall pool, but we were completely satisfied just seeing it. In the afternoon, we explored the caves, and as we slowly moved through surprisingly narrow spaces, we were greeted by various shapes of stalactites inside. My husband was completely captivated by the caves and expressed a desire to visit more of them (laughs). I found the canoeing to be more pleasant than I had imagined, so I would love to experience it again next time. Thank you for a wonderful time.
初めての西表島、やってみたいことがいろいろあってマングローブカヌー、ピナイサーラの滝トレッキング、洞窟探検という欲張りコースにしました。カヌーは初めてでしたがガイドさんのアドバイスどおりに漕ぐとスイスイと。誰もいない川をカヌーで進んでいくと左右にマングローブの森が見えゆったりとした時間が流れます。カヌーを降りて今度はピナイサーラの滝を目指してトレッキング。急な道もありますが、ガイドさんが適度に止まって森の樹木などの説明をしてくれるので、楽しんで歩く事ができました。滝つぼに入ることも出来るようですが、私たちは見るだけで大満足でした。午後からは洞窟探検、びっくりするような狭い場所からソロソロ進むと中は鍾乳石がいろいろな形を見せてくれます。主人はすっかり鍾乳洞に見せられて、あちこちの鍾乳洞巡りをしたいと言いだしました(笑)私はカヌーが想像以上に気持ち良かったので、次回もカヌー体験したいです。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

I visited Iriomote Island, where I got my scuba diving license during my student days, for the first time in 30 years, this time with my child.
We traveled from Kohama Island, and although the weather can be unstable in winter with the possibility of ferry cancellations, we received thorough guidance about access from the remote island in advance, which made us feel secure about participating.
Upon arrival at Uehara Port, we were welcomed and on the way to the shop for preparations, we saw the Higan Cherry Blossoms blooming, marking our first cherry blossom viewing of the year. From the moment we got in the car, the guide shared fascinating insights about the nature and history of Iriomote Island, and we quickly found ourselves immersed in an extraordinary world.
As we leisurely paddled through the mangrove forest in a canoe, I could feel my mind relaxing more and more. With this relaxation, my senses, which had been dulled by the busyness of everyday life, gradually opened up, and I became highly sensitive to everything around me—the natural sounds, the scents wafting from the mangrove forest and various plants, absorbing everything and feeling rejuvenated.
While trekking towards the waterfall after getting off the canoe, we encountered a heavy rain shower reminiscent of a tropical downpour, but it was a beautiful rain that didn’t feel uncomfortable. It truly felt like the charm and essence of nature. Remarkably, when we reached the waterfall, the rain stopped, and we enjoyed a warm meal prepared by our guide. We experienced the almost private atmosphere of Pinaisara, soaking in the vigorous, silk-like spray of water enriched with negative ions, which had increased due to the rain, from 55 meters upstream!
What made me very happy was that the guide took many great photos with a camera and generously gifted us the data for free.
Thank you so much for everything!
学生の頃にスキューバのライセンスを取りに訪れた西表島に、30年ぶりに、今度は親子でお邪魔しました。
小浜島からの移動でしたが、冬場は天候が不安定で船の欠航の可能性もありましたが、事前に離島からのアクセスについても丁寧にご案内をいただき、安心して参加出来ました。
上原港でお迎えしてもらい、準備のためにショップに向かう道中でヒガンザクラが咲いていて、今年の最速お花見。車に乗った瞬間からガイドさんからの西表島の自然や歴史にちなんだ数々のインプットがとても興味深く、面白くて、あっいう間に非日常の世界に飛び込みました。
マングローブの林の中を、ゆったりとカヌーで進んでいると、自分の心もどんどんゆったりしてくるのがわかりました。ゆったりしてくると、ふだんの忙しい日常の中で塞がっていた五感も、ゆっくりと開放されて来て、目に触れるもの、耳に響いてくる自然の息吹、マングローブの林や様々な植物から漂う香りにすごく敏感になって、色々なものを吸収して癒されていきました。
カヌーを降りてトレッキングで滝壺を目指す間、南国のスコールのような豪雨になりましたが、キレイな雨で不快感もなく、また、これぞ自然の魅力・醍醐味という感じでした。なんと滝壺に到着すると雨も上がり、ガイドさんが準備してくれた温かい食事をいただき、ほぼ貸し切りピナイサーラ状態で、55メートル上流から繰り出される、スコールで水量を増した威勢の良い、マイナスイオンたっぷりの絹のような水しぶきを親子で全身に浴びて参りました!
とても嬉しかったのは、ガイドさんがカメラでスゴク良い写真をたくさん撮ってくださって、それをデータで無料でプレゼントしてくれたことです
ホントにお世話になりました。ありがとうございました

Canoeing was my first experience, and it was so much fun that I think I'm hooked. The waterfall was very refreshing; even though it was January, it was warm, and there were people swimming in the pool beneath the falls. One person dropped their smartphone into the pool, but the instructor was able to retrieve it. Since it was waterproof, it wasn't damaged and was safe. The lunch was also very filling. Riding in a cow cart was a first for me as well, and I really enjoyed it; I'm glad I went. Next, I want to visit the Phantom Island.

Due to the weather, snorkeling became impossible, and I received a phone call the day before informing me that the afternoon plans would be changed. Instead of snorkeling, there was a tour to Yufu Island, but I could decline, so I only participated in the morning experience. (I received a refund for the afternoon portion.) The limestone cave and canoeing were incredibly fun. They even took photos without me noticing and sent them to me later. I was very satisfied! If you want to bring your phone, a waterproof case is essential.

When I arrived at Uehara Port by ferry, the person who was supposed to pick me up was not there. After searching for about five laps, I confirmed by phone and was told, "I'll be there soon." I was taken aback, thinking, "Wait, they haven't arrived yet??"
First, I went to the shop to drop off my luggage and borrowed shoes that could get wet before heading to the cave. The entrance was extremely narrow, and there was water pooling at my feet, making it quite a struggle to crawl through. However, after that, I was surrounded by untouched nature! The limestone cave had several breaks where we walked outside in the sunlight and then back inside the cave. The guide occasionally provided explanations and took photos, and as we walked, they spoke to each of us, which gradually made the atmosphere more relaxed.
After about an hour of exploration, we returned to the shop for lunch with rice balls. After a break, we moved on to canoeing. Unfortunately, all the single-person canoes were already taken, so we headed to the waterfall in a two-person canoe. At first, we were unsteady, going this way and that. After getting off the canoe, we climbed for about 30 minutes to reach the waterfall basin. There, we were treated to brown sugar tea. After that, we retraced our steps down the mountain and paddled back in the canoe. By the return trip, I had gotten quite used to canoeing and was able to go mostly straight.
Throughout the morning and afternoon, my legs got quite wet. If you're concerned about that, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes.
フェリーで上原港に着いたとき、迎えに来てくれるはずの人が来ておらず、5周くらい探し回った後で電話で確認すると、「すぐ行きます」とのこと。え~、まだ来てなかったの??ということでいきなり出鼻をくじかれました(泣)
まずショップへ行って荷物を置き、濡れてもいい靴を借りていざ洞窟へ。入口が極端に狭く足元は水が溜まっているので、中腰でくぐり抜けるのにひと苦労。しかし、その後は手つかずの自然が!鍾乳洞は何度か途切れ、日差しのある外を歩いたり、また洞窟内に入ったりの繰り返しでした。ガイドさんがちょこちょこ説明を挟みつつ写真を撮ってくれ、歩きながら個々に話しかけてくれるので、だんだん和んできます。
1時間ほどの探索が終わると一旦ショップへ戻り、おにぎりでランチ。休憩を挟んだあと、お次はカヌーへ。たまたま一人乗りのカヌーが先客で全て使われてしまっていたため、二人乗りカヌーで滝へ向かいました。最初は慣れずにあっちへ行ったりこっちへ行ったり。カヌーを降りると30分くらいかけて滝つぼへ登ります。こちらでは黒糖紅茶をふるまっていただきました。その後は同じルートをたどって下山し、カヌーを漕いで戻りました。帰路のカヌーは大分慣れて、おおむね真っすぐ進むことができました。
午前・午後通して脚がけっこう濡れます。気になる人は着替えを持参した方がいいかも。

- I participated on New Year's Day. Since we were a small team of 2 people in 3 groups, they provided solid support for those who were not good at canoeing. I heard that canoeing can get crowded during the summer vacation season, but this time we were able to paddle while enjoying the scenery at a leisurely pace.
- I was worried that the canoeing time might be insufficient, but combined with trekking, the time allocation was just right in terms of physical exertion.
- The trekking was somewhat tough, so those who don't exercise regularly might experience muscle soreness. However, participants around 65 years old were progressing quite well...
- The explanations about the flora and fauna along the way were interesting (fish, ducks, snipes, mudskippers, fiddler crabs, mangroves, etc.).
- We were able to explore Yufu Island in about an hour, and I caught a glimpse of a white-browed crake in the botanical garden corner.
・元日の参加でした。2人×3組の少人数チームだったので、カヌーが苦手な人にもしっかりサポートしてくれました。夏休みシーズンはカヌー渋滞するらしいですが、今回はゆっくり景色を楽しみながらカヌーをこげました。
・カヌーの時間が物足りないかな?と心配してましたが、トレッキングと合わせても体力的にはちょうど良い時間配分でした。
・トレッキングはまあまあきついので普段運動しない人は筋肉痛になります。65歳くらいの参加者はぐんぐん進んでましたが…
・道中の動植物解説が面白いです(魚、カモ、シギ、トビハゼ、シオマネキ、マングローブ等)
・由布島は1時間ほどでちょうどよく回れました。植物園コーナーで一瞬シロハラクイナを見ました。

I applied to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island, which is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. I had planned to go up to the top of the Pinaisara Falls, but the weather was not very good during this time, so after arriving at the tour company on the day of the tour, I changed my participation to a half-day itinerary that only went to the base of the falls.
We rode kayaks and moved close to the falls while observing the mangroves. There are seven types of mangroves that can be seen in Japan, and I enjoyed paddling up the river while learning that all of them can be found on Iriomote Island. After getting off the kayak, we went trekking for about 30 to 40 minutes. Our guide introduced us to various subtropical plants as we made our way to the foot of the falls. I was moved by the power of the falls when we arrived. Iriomote Island is the only place in Japan where you can see such great nature. I really wanted to climb to the top of the falls to see the full view of the mangroves, but, well, I guess it can't be helped this time.
I suppose you can't take beautiful photos unless it's summer. It only drizzled a little, so the rain wasn't a big deal, but it was a windy day. Still, I'm glad I went to see the wonderful scenery.
世界自然遺産に登録された西表島の大自然を満喫したくて申込みました。ピナイサーラの滝の上まで行こうと思っていましたが、この時期大変お天気がよくなくて、当日催行会社に着いてから1日ツアーを滝の下までにする半日行程に変えて参加しました。
カヤックに乗りマングローブを観ながら滝の近くまで移動。日本で観られるマングローブは7種類あり、西表島ではその全てが観られる事など、楽しく川を登って行きました。カヤックを降りてからはトレッキング。30〜40分位でしょうか。色々な亜熱帯植物をガイドしてもらいながら滝の麓まで。着いた時にはその迫力に感動しました。日本でこのような大自然を観られるのは西表島だけでしょう。本当は滝の上まで登ってマングローブの全景を観たかったのですが、う〜ん、今回は仕方ないかな。
やっぱり夏場でないと綺麗な写真は撮れないかな。雨は小雨が少し降ったけで大した事なかったんだけど、風か強い1日でした。ただ素晴らしい景色に行って良かったと思います。

Both the morning and afternoon were fantastic. We took the ferry to Iriomote Island in the morning. As soon as we arrived, we met our guide and listened to the tour overview in the car before heading to the cooler side for SUP. It was my first time doing SUP, but the current was gentle, so I was able to stand up quickly. I had to be careful not to hit the trees while lying down as we went upstream, and it was thrilling as I bumped into others too. The waterfall we reached was very refreshing and felt great. After lunch, we headed to Barasu Island by cruiser! While snorkeling in the area, we saw lots of fish. The photos taken from below by our guide while free diving became wonderful keepsakes. I was exhausted after a day full of activities, but I had the best day ever.
午前/午後ともに最高でした。 朝のフェリーで、西表島に向かいました。到着してすぐ、ガイドの方と合流して車の中でツアー概要を聞いた後、SUPをしにクーラー側へ。初めてのSUPでしたが流れが穏やかなのですぐに立てました。上流へは寝そべったりしながら木に当たらないように気をつけ、他の方ともぶつかったりしたのでスリル満点でした。辿り着いた先の滝はとても涼しく気持ちよかったです。各自昼食後、クルーザーでバラス島へ!周辺でのシュノーケリングでは、魚をいっぱい見ました。 ガイドさんが素潜りして撮ってくれた下からの写真はとても記念になりました。 1日遊び倒してすごく疲れましたが、最高の1日が過ごせました。

It was my first time canoeing, and quietly paddling through the mangroves was amazing! I was busy taking photos and paddling by myself, but the guide provided great support, allowing me to enjoy the experience.
The trekking was steeper than I expected, but the sense of accomplishment when I reached the top was significant. I also took the plunge into the waterfall, and I was very satisfied with that.
For lunch, we had rice balls, fried chicken, and boiled eggs, which were delicious. In the afternoon, we toured Yubu Island. I rode a water buffalo and explored the subtropical botanical garden on my own.
The butterfly garden, water buffalo pond, mangrove walkway, and Manta Beach were all places where I wished I could relax forever. The Yubu Island teahouse near Manta Beach had the best awamori gelato! I want to go back to Yubu Island just to eat that.
I enjoyed interacting with the water buffalo and watching them return to their barn from the pond. Most importantly, I was impressed by how much the caretakers loved and took care of the water buffalo. The guides were all very kind, and I was able to hear many interesting stories, making it a thoroughly satisfying tour!

I was able to canoe, go jungle trekking, and encounter wonderful waterfalls.
It was so much fun!
I spent a great day surrounded by dedicated instructors, beautiful islands, and nice young men.
Thank you very much!
カヌーができて、ジャンルトレッキングができて、素晴らしい滝に出会える。
楽しかったー!
一生懸命のインストラクターに、美しい島中と好青年に囲まれ楽しい1日を過ごせました。

I met a guide with extensive knowledge and great attention to detail, making it a tour where I could see, learn, touch, and be moved. The warm rice balls we ate by the waterfall were the best treat. The cave, free of artificial structures, was full of a real adventure feel.
豊富な知識、気配りの出来るガイドさんに出会い、見て、学んで、触れて、感動したツアーになりました。
滝壺で食べた温かいおにぎりは最高のご馳走でした。
人工物の無い洞窟は、リアルアドベンチャー感満載でした。

I was scheduled for a tour of Mangrove SUP & Barasu Island, but due to the weather, the Barasu Island portion was canceled, so I participated in the Mangrove & Yubu Island sightseeing instead! It was a rough trek with rain and wind to the waterfall, but our guide, Tomo, provided thorough explanations and even pulled the SUP for everyone at the end, making it a very satisfying experience! The water buffalo on Yubu Island were adorable and heartwarming! I'm glad I went! When I come back to Iriomote Island, I definitely want to ask this company again and have Tomo guide me! Thank you for your help.
マングローブサップ&バラス島のツアー予定でしたが、バラス島は天気の関係で中止となったため、マングローブ&由布島観光に参加しました!雨と風で大荒れのサップと滝までのトレッキングでしたが、ガイドのトモくんがしっかり説明してくれたり、最後はサップを全員分引っ張ってくれたりと至れり尽くせりで大満足の思い出になりました!変更した由布島も水牛が健気でかわいくて癒されました!行ってよかったです!また西表島に来るときには是非またこちらの会社にお願いして、ともくんに案内していただきたいです^^お世話になりました。ありがとうございます。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
We are thrilled that you enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding in the mangrove-protected environment and the wild sea, experiencing two different settings!
I hope you also had a relaxing time exploring Yufu Island, and we look forward to your next visit for a revenge trip to Barasu Island!
There are still many exciting activities to enjoy, so please come back to Iriomote Island again! We look forward to seeing you again!

I wasn't confident in canoeing or trekking, but seeing the great outdoors and the beautiful weather really boosted my spirits. Canoeing felt great, and occasionally we received explanations from our guide, learning about the wonders of the mangroves. During the trekking, we also had guidance at key points, and I didn't feel tired at all. I felt it was a wonderful experience to be taken to places we could never have reached on our own.
カヌーもトレッキングも自信が無かったのですが大自然と好天を目にして俄然テンションアップしました。気持ち良くカヌーも進み時折ガイドさんの説明を受けてマングローブの不思議を勉強し、トレッキングも要所要所でガイドを受け、しんどさは全く感じませんでした。自分達だけでは絶対行く事のできないところへ連れて行ってもらえて良い体験ができたと感じました。

The day started with some anxiety as our snorkeling activity was changed to a river activity due to poor sea conditions. However, on the day itself, our guide, affectionately known as Tacky, greeted us with great energy, which raised our expectations.
In the morning, we experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on Iriomote Island. It was my first time, but I had a lot of fun and was very satisfied. Throughout the tour, Tacky provided explanations about the mangroves, various creatures, and plants, making it not just enjoyable but also educational. For lunch, he recommended a dish, and I enjoyed stone-grilled taco rice while admiring the beautiful sea.
In the afternoon, we went canyoning, progressing through the forest and jumping into the river, where we enjoyed a natural waterslide. It was incredibly satisfying! Even in mid-November, it was a fun experience! I'm grateful to Tacky for his kindness and for making it enjoyable. I definitely want to participate in this tour again!
前日にシュノーケリングが海上不良により川へのアクテビティに変更になり、どうなるんだろうと少し不安もありながら当日。ガイドの愛称タッキーさんがとても元気に挨拶をしてくれて期待が高まりました
午前は西表島のSUPを体験。初めてだったけどとても楽しめて満足でした。途中途中、タッキーさんがマングローブの解説や生物、植物の解説をしてくれながらツアーできたので、ただ楽しむだけではなく勉強にもなりました。お昼もおすすめを紹介してくれて、石焼タコライスを食べて、とっても綺麗な海を眺めてました。
午後はキャニオニングという森を進んで、川に飛び込んだら天然ウォータースライダーを楽しんだりとかなり満足できました!!11月中旬でも満足できる楽しさです!!親切に楽しませてくれたタッキーさんに感謝です!是非また参加したいと思うツアーでした
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
I'm also glad you enjoyed the SUP cruising in the mangroves and the exploration of Yufu Island (≧▽≦).
Iriomote Island still has magnificent nature to offer!! Please come back for a snorkeling adventure (^^♪
When you visit Iriomote Island again, let's go on an adventure together (^O^).
I look forward to the day we can meet again (﹡ˆˆ﹡).

I participated in a tour of Iriomote Island. Due to the weather, our landing on Barasu Island was changed to canyoning, but the kids seemed to have a great time jumping into the river and getting splashed by the waterfall. I've always wanted to go canoeing through the mangroves, and it was enjoyable even for children, so I highly recommend it. Our guide, Takki, was very kind to the kids, and he looked like he was having a lot of fun himself, so even though it was a long day, we were able to enjoy ourselves all day long. It's a shame that the photos were a bit grainy, probably due to being waterproof, but other than that, I was very satisfied. I would definitely like to use this service again when I go back.

天候のためバラス島上陸がキャニオニングに変更となりましたが、子供たちは川から飛び込んだり滝に打たれたり、とても楽しそうでした。
マングローブのカヌーくだりも昔からやりたかったのですが、子供でも楽しめてオススメです。
ガイドのたっきーが子供たちにとてもやさしく、また自分自身もとても楽しそうだったので長丁場でしたが、1日中楽しむことができました。
防水用のためか、写真の画像が粗かったのは残念ですが、それ以外は大満足です。
また、行くときにはぜひ利用したいです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
During the canyoning tour, it was incredibly impressive to see the elementary school student muster up the courage to jump from a very high place, almost in tears!
If this tour helped them grow even a little, I would be extremely happy.
I want to see them take on even more challenges and grow further!
There are still many activities that can help them develop!
So if you have the opportunity, please come again! We look forward to seeing you!

The weather forecast wasn't great, so I chose this plan. From the moment of pickup, the service was excellent, and the conversation flowed, making me excited even before we arrived at the location. We did canoeing and trekking to the waterfall in the morning, and although we had planned to eat rice balls at the waterfall, due to the rain, our guide quickly adapted and arranged for us to have our meal back at the shop. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a warm meal and take a break indoors while sipping tea.
In the afternoon, we explored a limestone cave. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wait!? We're entering from here?" because it felt like a hidden gem (laughs). However, after going inside for a while, I was overwhelmed by the incredibly spacious area that opened up. It's a secret, but I also learned about stones that glow under black light.
The guide was wonderfully adaptable, knowledgeable, and a great learner. I'm cheering for you!
天気予報が良くなかったので、こちらのプランを選びました。
送迎の時からとても対応が良くて、話が弾み、現地に着く前からワクワクすることができました。
カヌー、滝へのトレッキングは午前中に行い、滝でおにぎりの予定でしたが雨天だったためガイドさんが機転を利かせて、お店に戻ってからの食事にしてくれました。おかげで暖かいお茶を飲みながら屋内でゆっくり食事や休憩を取ることができました。
午後からは鍾乳洞探検です。
エッ!?こんな処から入るの?と思わず声が出てしまったほど、秘境でした(笑)でも中に入ってしばらく行くと、パーッと開けて信じられないほど広い空間に圧倒されました。秘密ですが、ブラックライトを当てると光る石なども教えてもらえました。
臨機応変な対応が素晴らしくとても勉強家で博識なガイドさんでした。応援してます!

I received detailed responses to my inquiries before the tour, which made me feel at ease participating in it. The guides provided thorough and kind lectures and advice for us beginners, and during the canoeing and trekking, we enjoyed a very fun time filled with laughter, learning about Iriomote Island and participating in quizzes. I am very grateful for the opportunity to share this valuable experience with the guides, staff, and fellow participants! I would like to use this service again when I visit Iriomote Island. Thank you very much.
ツアー前から問い合わせなどで細かい返答を頂き、安心してツアーに参加させて頂きました。
初心者の私達に、丁寧に親切にレクチャー&アドバイスして下さり、カヌー中もトラッキング中も、西表島の紹介やクイズなど、とても楽しく笑いの絶えない時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
ガイドさんスタッフさん、参加された方々、貴重な体験体感を共有できたこと、感謝でいっぱいです!また西表島に行く時は、利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The canoeing was just as I imagined, very relaxing and enjoyable. The trekking to the waterfall was very well done, with an easy and fun course. Even though it was early November, we were able to play in the waterfall pool. The guide's explanations were detailed and enjoyable as well. And!! The cave was amazing!!
It was said to be a beginner course, but we were able to experience crawling through narrow spaces, being in complete darkness, and exploring the cave without any handrails. It was an adventure that we couldn't have done without the guide. Thank you very much!!
カヌーは想像通り、とても癒されてたのしかったのですが、滝へのトレッキングが、とてもよくできていると言うか、登りやすく楽しいコースで、11月頭でしたけれど、滝壺で遊ぶこともできました。ガイドさんの説明も詳しくて楽しかったです。そして!!洞窟が素晴らしかった!!
初心者コースだそうなのですが、狭い間を潜りぬけたり、真っ暗を体験したり、手すりなどなく、ガイドさんがいなければ体験できない洞窟探検ができました。ありがとうございました!!
