The last time I visited, I went river rafting on a leisure boat, so this time I wanted to do something with more activities, which is why I chose this tour.
There was a discrepancy between the meeting time listed on the voucher at the time of booking and the time I was told over the phone the day before. This required me to cancel and rebook the boat I had reserved the night before, which was a frustrating start. I was told that the schedule was based on the boats from Yaeyama Tourism, but that information wasn’t written anywhere, and I had no idea.
As for the activities, we did canoeing on both Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island, and the water clarity was definitely better on Iriomote Island. Despite it being a bit hot, I enjoyed it comfortably.
The snorkeling at Barasu Island was canceled due to rough seas, and in the afternoon, we were switched to a tour of Yubu Island. Since Yubu Island has such beautiful nature, I wish they would minimize the number of signs and plates to show the scenery as it is.
I exchanged LINE information with the tour staff because they said they would send photos, but in the end, I never received any photos. I wonder what that was all about. I would like to visit Iriomote Island again if I have the chance, but the tour left me feeling a bit unsettled.
以前訪れた際はレジャーボートで川下りをしたので、今回はもっとアクティビティ度が高いことがしたく、このツアーを選びました。
予約時のバウチャーに載っていた集合時間と前日電話で言われた時間が異なっていて、事前に予約していた船を前日夜にキャンセルと再予約が必要になり、いきなり出鼻を挫かれるスタートでした。八重山観光の船を基準にスケジュール組んでるからと言われましたが、そんなことどこにも書いてないし知らんし。。
肝心のアクティビティは、今回石垣島と西表島の両方でカヌーをしましたが、水のキレイ度が断然西表島の方が良く、少し暑いくらいのなか、気持ちよく楽しめました。
バラス島のシュノーケリングは海が荒れているため中止と前日に連絡があり、午後からは由布島観光に振替えました。由布島はせっかくの自然なのだから、案内のプレートや看板は極力減らしてそのままの景色を見せて欲しいなと思ってしまいました。
ツアーのスタッフの方が写真を送るからとLINE交換したのですが、結局写真は届くことはなく、あれはなんだったんだ。。
西表島は機会があれはまた行きたいですが、ツアーはちょいちょいもやもやする内容でした。

The explanation before the activity was thorough, and everyone was kind, allowing us to enjoy the activity with peace of mind. Additionally, we got to hear stories about the unique animals of Iriomote, which made it all the more enjoyable.
アクティビティ前の説明も丁寧で、みなさん優しく安心してアクティビティを過ごせました。
さらに西表特有の動物のお話とか聞けて、色々楽しかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour!
During the canoe tour, we were able to leisurely paddle while observing the mangroves in the vast nature! I'm glad we could introduce many features of the mangroves!
The starry sky in Iriomote Island is also incredibly beautiful, so please come back to see it again! We look forward to your visit!

We walked along a path in the coastal forest, illuminated by flashlights, heading towards the river with our guide. It felt like an adventure even before getting on the canoe! Although I was a beginner at canoeing, we practiced paddling on land before getting in, and the instructions were given very carefully, which made me feel safe and able to enjoy the experience. While paddling, our guide explained many constellations and animals that are active at night.
It was bright due to the full moon, so we couldn't see the bioluminescent plankton in the middle of the river, but our guide found a spot where we could see them, and I was really moved when we discovered the sparkling plankton. I was also happy to hear the calls of owls and geckos. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
ガイドさんと夜の暗い中、海沿いの林にある小道を懐中電灯で照らして歩き、川を目指しました。カヌーに乗る前も、探検しているみたいで楽しかったです!
カヌーは初心者でしたが、乗る前に陸地で漕ぐ練習を行い、乗り方も丁寧に説明して下さるので、安心して楽しむことができます。カヌーを漕ぎながら、ガイドさんは星座や夜に活動する動物をたくさん説明して下さりました。
満月で明るかったので、川の真ん中では夜光虫が見えなかったのですが、ガイドさんが見える場所を探して下さり、キラキラとした夜光虫を見つけた時はとっても感動しました。フクロウやヤモリの鳴き声を聞けたことも嬉しかったです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました!

Clothes that can get wet are recommended. It's also a good idea to prepare towels and a change of clothes.
I made a mistake by wearing trekking pants over my swim trunks, so they got soaked from the rain and the spray from the waterfall. In the afternoon, I spent time only in my swimsuit, which made for a very cold experience on Yufuin Island in the bad weather.
I participated in late February, but the temperatures seem to be better in early March.
濡れても良い服がおすすめ。タオルや着替えも準備しておくと良いです。
何を誤ったのか、海パンの上に、トレッキングのパンツをはいて参加したので、雨と滝の水しぶきでトレッキングパンツはびしょ濡れ。午後は、水着のみで過ごしたので、悪天候の由布島では、非常に寒い思いをしました。
2月の下旬に参加したのですが、気温的には3月に入ってからの方が良さそうです。

At the Pinay Sara Falls, reached by mangrove canoe and trekking, I breathed in the ozone from the water spray. Walking through the cave with a narrow entrance was a bit surprising, but as I shone my light and moved forward, the space gradually opened up, allowing me to touch the stalactites up close. It was a truly unique experience.
マングローブカヌーとトレッキングで着いたピナイサーラの滝では、水しぶきのオゾンを吸い、道なき森を歩く鍾乳洞は狭い入口にちょっと驚き、ライトを照らして進むと次第に広がる空間で、鍾乳石を間近で触れる中々体験できないツアーでした。

Originally, we had planned to do mangrove stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling at Balas Island, but due to strong winds, both activities were deemed dangerous. So, we switched to canyoning in the morning and mangrove canoeing in the afternoon.
I was really disappointed at first because I was looking forward to snorkeling and paddleboarding, but once we started the activities, both canoeing and canyoning turned out to be a lot of fun.
Canoeing on a wide river in a two-person canoe felt really nice. However, I think it's better to wear swimwear for canoeing. I attempted it in jeans, and my backside got wet enough that my pants were soaked!
Also, since there was quite a bit of canoeing involved, I, being a bit out of shape, am feeling a bit sore!
もともとはマングローブSUPとバラス島シュノーケリングの予定でしたが、風が強くシュノーケリングもSUPも危険ということで、午前中はキャニオニング、午後はマングローブカヌーに変更になりました。
体験前はシュノーケリングとSUPを楽しみにしていたので、とってもガッカリしていましたが、いざ体験してみるとカヌーもキャニオニングもとっても楽しかったです。
2人乗りのカヌーで幅の広い川を漕いでいくのでとても気持ち良かったです。
ただカヌーに関しては下は水着着用が良いかと思います。
私はジーパンで挑んでしまったのですが、パンツまで濡れるほどお尻が濡れましたw
あと、けっこうカヌー移動も多いのでちょっと運動不足の私はちょっと筋肉痛気味ですw

With a safe route, even those new to canyoning could have a fantastic time! Jumping off the cliffs into the river was exhilarating and the best part!!

Even though it was raining, paddling with all my might warmed me up! Haha. I was able to enjoy observing various creatures like crabs and hermit crabs in the mangrove forest!
Along the way, the guide shared various knowledge about the characteristics of Iriomote Island and considerations for the local wildlife!
The recommended dishes at the diner were also delicious.
It was a very satisfying tour, and I would love to join another tour when I visit Iriomote Island next time.

We experienced this as a family. Despite the weather forecast predicting rain, it miraculously cleared up, and we were able to enjoy canoeing in a calm atmosphere. With guidance that is reassuring for beginners, we spent a luxurious time listening to interesting facts about mangroves and small animals. We were able to relax completely. There was also a shoe rental available, and we didn't get as wet as we expected. They took many photos and sent us the data, so we have beautiful pictures that we couldn't have taken ourselves, and we were very satisfied to have photos of the whole family. Next time, I would like to combine this with trekking for even more fun.
家族で体験しました。天気予報が雨だったなか奇跡的に晴れて穏やかな空気の中、楽しくカヌーが出来ました。初心者でも安心な指導付きで、マングローブや

I didn't see many people doing it (laughs). The path along the way is filled with dense mangroves, so it's shaded. I think it might be cold. The guide provided a lot of varied information, which was really enjoyable and informative. After all, you have to participate in activities to truly experience them. Since I'm already in Iriomote, I should make the most of it. It seems like it would be really crowded in the summer. Even in February, there were quite a few people around.
やってる人見かけなかった(笑)
途中の道中がマングローブが多い茂ったところなので日陰なんでね。寒いと思います。

We participated in our first snorkeling experience as a couple over 60 years old. In the morning, we also enjoyed canoeing, where we were carefully taught how to control the oars, and we successfully reached our destination without falling in. The subsequent trekking was fascinating and enjoyable, with interesting explanations about the plants in nature. The rice balls we had for lunch at the waterfall were also very delicious after the trek.
In the afternoon, we encountered the long-awaited sea turtles during snorkeling, and our guide took some wonderful photos and videos. We've replayed them many times since returning home, reliving that amazing experience. It was a fantastic day that exceeded our expectations.
60歳超え夫婦でシュノーケリング初体験で参加しました。午前中のカヌーもオールのコントロールの仕方等丁寧に教えてもらい落ちる事なく無事に目的地点まで辿り着けその後のトレッキングは自然の中を植物などの説明も興味深く楽しかったです。滝に着いて頂いた昼食のおにぎりもトレッキング後でとても美味しかったです。
昼からのシュノーケリングは待望のウミガメにも遭遇できガイドさんがとても素敵な写真や動画を撮ってくれて家に帰ってからも何回も再生してあの感動を思い出してます。
想像してた以上の最高の1日でした。

I participated with my son. It was a beginner-friendly trekking experience, but since my son was worried about me not exercising much, I consulted via email, and they responded thoroughly by phone and email, which made me feel at ease to join. The guide was very attentive in their responses, and they took many photos, allowing us to enjoy the entire experience without any unpleasant moments. As for the trekking itself, it was somewhat challenging, but there were rare plants and trees along the way, and the guide stopped at various points to explain things, which provided us with breaks, and we safely reached the Pinai Sara Falls. The guide engaged us in conversation, and my son was thrilled to hear about sound engineering, which he is interested in. Next time, I definitely want to participate during the season of the Sagarihana that you mentioned.
息子と2人で参加しました。初心者でもOKのトレッキングでしたが、日頃、ほとんど運動をしない私を息子が心配していた為、メールで相談するとお電話とメールでしっかりと対応して頂き安心して参観する事ができました。ガイドさんの対応一つ一つがとても丁寧で、またたくさん写真も撮って下さり最初から最後まで一つも嫌な思いをする事なく楽しく参加する事ができました。肝心のトレッキングですが、多少きつかったですが、珍しい植物や木が生えていてガイドさんが所々で止まって説明などをして下さったので休憩にもなり無事にピナイサーラの瀧まで着くことができました。
ガイドさんが色々と話しかけて下さり、息子が興味を持っている音響の話を聞けた事も息子が嬉しがっていました。次回は、是非教えて頂いたサガリバナの季節に参加したいです。

However, the guide was attentive to our pace, and we enjoyed a comfortable jungle trekking experience without overexerting ourselves.
I was also concerned about what would happen regarding restrooms along the way, but there was a simple restroom area near the waterfall, allowing us to experience a refreshing break.
We were very satisfied with the half-day course, which included canoeing, trekking, and the magnificent nature of the waterfall. It was great that the tour included a lunch box, allowing us to continue with our other plans afterward.
家族4人で参加しました。成人している息子たちは問題ないのですが普段全く運動していない主人と私がトレッキングできるか心配でしたが

あと、途中トイレはどうなるんだろ?っと不安でしたが滝近くに簡易のトイレスペースがあり、

I was unable to participate in snorkeling at Balas Island due to bad weather. (During winter, there are many days with strong north winds, and it seems that boats often cannot go out.)
I was able to participate in the mangrove canoe experience.
It was clear that the guide truly loves Iriomote Island. They were knowledgeable not only about canoeing but also about the nature of Iriomote Island, which was very educational.
There are some shallow areas, so I think it's easier to get out of the canoe and push it along instead of trying to paddle there. (Once the water is about knee-deep, you can paddle smoothly.)
Thanks to a slight detour on the way back, I was able to encounter some animals that are not often seen. Thank you very much.
バラス島へのシュノーケリングは悪天候のため参加できませんでした。(冬場は北風が強い日が多く、船が出せないことが多いそうです。)
マングローブカヌーの体験は参加できました。
ガイドの方が何より西表島を愛しているのが伝わりました。カヌーのことはもちろん、西表島の自然についてよく知っており、とても勉強になりました。
水が浅いところがあるので、そこは無理して漕がずに、カヌーから一旦降りて押して進むと楽だと思います。(膝の深さくらいになれば、漕いでスイスイ進みます。)
帰り道に少し寄り道をしてくれたおかげで、なかなか見れない動物と出会うことができました。

I was worried about the cold since it was said to be the coldest day of the year, but once I joined, the water was cold but not freezing.
I was also concerned about whether I could paddle the canoe, but once I got on, it was smooth sailing!
Throughout the journey and during the tour, we talked a lot about the island, nature, and food, so even though I was there alone, I had a great time.
Since I came to Iriomote Island knowing almost nothing about it, I learned a lot and my appreciation for the scenery changed.

I was really looking forward to my first night tour on Iriomote Island. Canoeing was a first-time experience for me, but I felt safe and enjoyed it thanks to the thorough instructions and supervision provided. I was satisfied to see many stars and bioluminescent plankton that I can't see in the city. The guide was very knowledgeable about stars and constellations and provided a lot of explanations. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the Milky Way because the moon was bright. The guide informed us of the time the moon would set that day and suggested that we stay up late to look at the night sky. So, I went to the beach in the middle of the night. Although the Milky Way was hidden behind thin clouds, the sight of the orange moon setting was very beautiful. I would like to join this tour again during the new moon to see the Milky Way.

ただ、月が明るかったので天の川を見ることができなかったことを残念に思っていたところ、その日の月の没む時刻を教えてくださり、頑張って夜更かしをして夜空を見上げてみたらどうですか?と提案してくださいましたので、夜中に海岸へ行ってみました。
天の川は薄雲に隠れて見えませんでしたが、オレンジ色に輝く月が没んでいくところがとても綺麗でした。
新月の時にもう一度このツアーに参加して天の川を見たいと思います。
Thank you for participating in the Iriomote Island Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the main Milky Way due to the full moon, but the bioluminescent plankton was beautiful. We also enjoyed the atmosphere of the night. We hope to see you again if the opportunity arises. Thank you!
このたびは、西表島マングローブナイトカヤックツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。あいにくの満月で、メインの天の川が見れなかったですが、夜光虫がきれいでした。また、夜の雰囲気は楽しめました。また機会があればよろしくお願いします。ありがとうございました。

During my stay on Iriomote Island, I was looking for a tour that would allow me to fully enjoy nature in a limited time, and I came across this tour by Monsoon. Ultimately, I was very satisfied as I was able to canoe through the mangroves and enjoy the famous Pinaisara Falls from both above and below. The view of the mangroves changed on the way there and back due to the tides. The trail to Pinaisara Falls was an active mountain path, but it provided a great full-body workout. Our guide, Eri, made the experience even more enjoyable with her accurate explanations and lively conversation. She took many photos for us and shared information about the flora and fauna as well as life on the island. I would love to do this again if I have the chance!
せっかくの西表島滞在なので限られた時間で自然を満喫できるツアーはないかと探している中でモンスーンさんのこのツアーに出会いました。
結果的にマングローブの中をカヌーで進み、有名なピナイサーラの滝を上からも下からも楽しめて大満足でした。
潮の満ち引きにより、行きと帰りではマングローブの見え方にも変化がありました。ピナイサーラの滝まではアクティブな山道でしたが、良い全身運動になりました。
ガイドのえりさんの的確な説明と軽快なトークでより楽しい時間になりました。たくさん写真を撮ってくださったり、動植物や島での生活について話してくださったりしました。
また機会があったらお願いしたいです!

Aside from the weather, I have no complaints!
天気はまずまずでしたが、ガイドさんの対応は非常によかったと思います。
天気以外は言う事なしでした!

I had seen mangroves several times before, so I signed up to experience what the mangroves are like at night! I had limited canoeing experience, but I received thorough instruction and was able to participate safely. By chance, it was a new moon, and if the weather had been good, we could have seen the stars beautifully. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, so we couldn't see the stars, but the bioluminescent plankton were stunning, and I was satisfied with the experience of kayaking through the pitch-black night mangroves! I think this is a tour that you can't easily experience elsewhere!
マングローブは 以前何度もみているので、夜のマングローブは どんなものか体験したくて申し込みました!カヌーの経験もとぼしかったのですが、しっかりとレクチャーしていただき 安全に参加出来ました。たまたま 新月にあたり 天気が良ければ 星も綺麗にみれたのですが、残念ながら天気が悪かったので 星は見れませんでしが 夜光虫が とても綺麗に見れて 漆黒の夜のマングローブカヤック体験できて満足でした!他ではなかなか体験出来ないツアーだと思います!
Thank you for participating in the Iriomote Island Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. Although we couldn't see the starry sky, we experienced the pitch-black night. The bioluminescent plankton were beautiful as well. If there’s another opportunity, we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you!
この度は、西表島マングローブナイトカヤックツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。星空は見れなかったけど、漆黒の夜が体験できました。また、夜光虫がきれいでしたね。また機会があればよろしくお願いします。ありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to bad weather, but instead, we participated in mangrove canoeing and canyoning! Since it was late October, it was cold, but they lent us wetsuits, so we were able to enjoy it without getting cold! The instructors, Bandii, Shoutarou, and Tarou, taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, which made it even more enjoyable. I definitely want to participate again when I visit Ishigaki Island. I will come back for a Barasu Island revenge!!
バラス島は悪天候の為残念ながら行くことが出来ませんでしたが、マングローブのカヌーと代わりにキャニオニングに参加しました!!
10月の後半だったので寒かったのですが、ウエットスーツを貸して頂いたので体を冷やすことなく出来ました!
またインストラクターのバンディさん、ショウタロウさん、タロウさんが西表島について沢山教えて下さったのでより楽しむことができました。
石垣島を訪れる際も是非参加したいです。またバラス島リベンジしに来ます!!
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
You joined the night tour and were able to see many coconut crabs! Additionally, we got to enjoy the starry sky, making it a fantastic day!
Also, the scenery and atmosphere on Iriomote Island are completely different between day and night, so please be sure to experience the daytime views when you visit again! All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you☆

Dear Mr. Tanaka,
Thank you for your continued support. This is Nakai from Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you for participating in our tour the other day.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the discrepancy between the meeting time stated at the time of booking and the actual meeting time, which resulted in the cancellation of the ferry the day before. We have already initiated the procedure to change the meeting time with the other party and are currently awaiting confirmation.
Regarding the photos, our guide Matsushita sent them immediately after the tour, but since you mentioned you were unable to confirm them, I will resend them today. I appreciate your understanding and kindly ask you to check them.
I deeply apologize for not being able to meet your expectations during your important trip. We would be grateful if you could consider using our services again when you visit Iriomote Island in the future.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
