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。

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!

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!

It was my first time paddleboarding, and since it was on a river, there was no shaking, so I wasn't scared at all, and it was really fun. I was even able to stand up partway through.
The snorkeling at Balas Island also had high visibility, and I was able to see plenty of fish with just a snorkel.
I highly recommend it.
初サップ、川なので揺れず、怖くなく、とても楽しかったです。途中から立つこともできました。
バラス島シュノーケリングも透明度が高く、シュノーケルでも十分魚が見れました。
オススメです。

Her sense of photography was also outstanding, with all the pictures being gorgeous! I didn't go to the cave, so I can't comment on that, but I think choosing snorkeling was definitely the right decision, as I was able to swim in the beautiful sea that I had seen in stories, and I was so excited! I even got to meet Nemo! The mangroves were so much fun... I want to stay overnight on Iriomote Island next time! Thank you very much!

I traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island and stayed at a glamping facility. The next day, although I had no plans, I decided to look for activities I could join, and I found this canyoning tour that was available for booking, so I reserved it immediately! (There was a campaign where if I wrote a review later, I would get a cash back for one person!)
I was picked up at the port along with other guests and we headed to the river by car. There were guests who had been participating since the morning, creating a friendly atmosphere. It was fun to hear about the creatures that inhabit Iriomote Island during the ride!
I was a bit anxious since it was my first canyoning experience, but physically, I had no problems at all! We went through some tricky spots, but I felt that as long as I followed the advice given, there was hardly any danger. There were places where you could jump in and areas where you could slide like a waterslide, which was a bit scary but turned out to be a great experience! (If you're scared, it's okay not to do it!)
They provided helmets and shoes, so I really could go hands-free!
I had a waterproof case, but I was worried, so I left my phone (camera) in the car. Some people brought GoPros, but the staff took photos at various points and sent them to us! (I wish they had taken some pictures of the scenery too.)
Since it was a river, it didn't feel sticky like swimming at the beach, and I was glad that I could use the shower at the office on the way back, so I felt refreshed before boarding the ferry!
I decided to join at the last minute, but I'm really glad I did!
石垣島から西表島に渡り、グランピング施設に宿泊、翌日はノープランだったのですが、せっかくならと翌日参加できるアクティビティを夜な夜な探したところ、こちらのキャニオニングツアーが予約可能だったので即予約!(後日体験談を書けば、1人分キャッシュバックされるキャンペーン中でした!)
他のお客さんと一緒に港でピックアップしてもらい、車で川へ向かいました。午前中から参加しているお客さんもいて、和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。車内では西表島に生息する生き物の話などもしてもらえて楽しかったです!
初めてのキャニオニングで少し不安もありましたが、体力的には全く問題なかったです!足場の悪いところをいきますが、アドバイスされたとおりに進めば危険もほとんど無いと思いました。
飛び込みできる場所があったり、スライダーのように滑れる場所があったり、ちょっと怖かったですが良い経験になりました!(怖い人はやらなくても大丈夫でした!)
ヘルメットもシューズも貸してもらえるので、ほんとに手ぶらで大丈夫でした!
防水ケースは持っていましたが心配だったので携帯(カメラ)は車に置いていきました。
ゴープロを持って来ている方もいましたが、スタッフさんがポイントポイントでは撮って送ってくれます!(景色なども撮ってほしかったなー)
川なのでビーチで泳ぐのとは違いベタつかず、帰りに事務所でシャワーを使うことができたので、スッキリして帰りのフェリーに乗れてよかったです!
直前で参加を決めましたが、参加できてよかったです!

Right after the announcement of the end of the rainy season, we participated as a mature couple in late June. On the day of the event, the temperature rose from the morning, and it was a perfect sunny day for canyoning with eight participants in four couples. We were the oldest, of course!
Wearing life jackets and helmets, we headed to the starting point! Even though it was summer, the first photo spot where we had to immerse ourselves up to our necks made everyone scream from the cold water. As we jumped from a high point and played on the rapid slides, everyone naturally returned to their childhood. The sun, the subtropical greenery, and the splashing water from the flow gently relaxed our hearts, which usually live in the city.
At the end, we climbed a wall and jumped about 4 meters into the river! After sinking underwater for a moment, we popped up and took a breath, safely returning to the surface! It was the best moment, feeling one with Iriomote Island.
It was such a fun experience that passed by in the blink of an eye, making us wish we could enjoy it for a longer time. Highly recommended!
梅雨明け宣言の直後、6月後半に熟年夫婦で参加しました。当日は朝から気温も上昇、快晴のキャニオリング日和で参加者はカップル4組の8人。私達が最高齢笑。
ライフジャケットとヘルメットを付けスタート地点へ!真夏の気温とはいえ最初に首まで浸かる写真スポットでは水の冷たさに一同悲鳴〜。高台から飛び込み、急流の滑り台に遊ばれと進むにつれ自然と童心に帰っている皆さん。太陽と亜熱帯の緑、飛沫を上げる流れにと南の島の豊かな自然が都会に暮らす私達の心を優しくほぐしてくれます。
最後はクライミングもどきに壁をよじ登り約4m程から川面へジャンプ!一旦水中に沈みブハッ!と顔を出し息を吸うと無事生還!西表島と一体感を味わう最高の瞬間です。
もっと長い時間を楽しみたいと思うほどあっという間に過ぎた楽しい体験でした。
おすすめです!

Mammoth Tour Company. Everything is messy. There are too many inefficiencies in the operations, and the quality of the guides is terrible. They advertise on their website that you can visit three places for 15,000 yen, but in reality, it's only two. I do not recommend this at all. I think it's better to go with a privately operated guide.
マンモスツアー会社。全てが雑。オペレーションも無駄が多いし、ガイドの質が悪すぎる。15000円で3つ行けるとホームページに書いておきながら実際は二つとかあり得ない。全くオススメしません。個人経営のガイドの方がいいと思います。

In the morning, I participated in a snorkeling activity, and in the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves!
The snorkeling was amazing, with beautiful fish and coral. Even as a near first-timer, I was able to enjoy it easily thanks to the life jacket. We swam at two spots, including Baras Island, so I got to see various underwater scenery, and I was deeply moved when I saw a sea turtle swimming up close at the end!
In the afternoon, the mangrove experience was great too. They carefully taught us how to paddle and ride, making it easy for beginners like me! I felt connected to nature in a way I usually can't, and I was healed by the natural plants and animals around the Kuura Falls!
Overall, I think it was a truly fulfilling tour that filled my heart throughout the day! The guide's explanations and the many photos we received afterward became wonderful memories.
I joined this tour as a solo traveler on a tight schedule, but the other participants and the guide were so kind that I was able to enjoy it fully on my own! Thank you very much!
午前中にシュノーケリング、午後からはマングローブでSUPというアクティビティツアーでした!
シュノーケリングは魚もサンゴもすごくキレイで、ほぼ初体験に近い私でもライフジャケットのおかげで難なく楽しめました。バラス島を含めて2か所のポイントを泳げたので色んな水中の景色が見れたのと、最後にすごく近くでウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることが出来たのでとても感動しました!
午後からのマングローブも、始めに乗り方漕ぎ方を丁寧に教えてくれたので初めてでも簡単に乗れました!
普段見ることのできないような大自然を感じることができ、クーラの滝にも自然の動植物にも癒やされました!
1日通して本当に心が満たされたツアーだったと思います!ガイドさんの説明や、ツアー後にたくさんもらえる写真もとても思い出になりました。
今回は弾丸の一人旅で参加したツアーでしたが、他の参加者やガイドさんも優しくて一人でも充分に楽しめました!ありがとうございました!

In the morning, we went snorkeling at Barasu Island. Our guide, Kaz, was very kind and explained everything in detail. There were two snorkeling spots, and at the first spot, we saw plenty of coral and fish. The next stop at Barasu Island had an astonishing level of transparency, and we were lucky enough to land there, which was breathtaking! Even though I participated without a camera, Kaz kindly sent us photos later, which was very appreciated.
After our lunch break, we experienced canoeing through the mangroves. We got off partway and took a short walk to a waterfall, which was refreshing. Our guide, Shimicchan, was all smiles and shared interesting information about Iriomote Island. He also took photos for us here.
On the way back, we were able to take a shower in a large changing room at the office, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful guides!
朝はバラス島でのシュノーケリング。担当のカズさんはとても親切で、丁寧にいろいろと説明してくれました。シュノーケリングのポイントは2カ所で、最初のポイントはサンゴやサカナがいっぱいみれました。つぎのバラス島はびっくりするくらい透明度で運よく上陸でき、景色に感動!カメラなしで参加しても後からガズさんか写真を送ってくれたので、非常にありがたい。
お昼休憩のあとはマングローブの間をカヌーで体験。途中で降りて、滝までちょっと歩き、リフレッシュ。担当のしみっちゃんは笑顔全開でガイドしてくれて、西表島のことを色々話してくれておもしろかったです。ここでも写真を撮ってくれたました。

Due to the rain that fell from the night before, the river swelled! The original plan was quickly revised to include cave exploration and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The cave exploration was as thrilling as what you see on TV! It was my first experience wading into the river up to my chin. As for SUP, I struggled a bit during practice, but once I tried it, it was easy and fun! The water submersion after the battle was also a memorable experience, haha. I'm grateful to the staff who worked hard to make the unpredictable weather enjoyable! I had a great time.

Smartphones are generally not allowed, but if you choose to bring one at your own risk, a waterproof, neck-hanging type might be a good option. However, the staff will take photos for you and provide the data later, so it's okay if you don't bring one.
スマホは基本的に持ち込み不可ですが、自己責任で持ち込むのであれば防水、首から掛けれるタイプがいいかもです。
ただ、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださり、後でデータでくださるので、なくても大丈夫でした。

I received a message the day before departure that landing on Barasu Island might be difficult due to tide conditions, and since the weather forecast predicted rain, I honestly felt a bit disappointed about participating. On the day of the trip, it started to rain while we were on the ferry heading to Iriomote Island. We listened to the explanation in the welcoming car, and then we started canoeing in the rain. There were three women in their 50s on this trip, and we were in a three-person canoe. Everyone was a beginner and felt anxious, but our guide, Ryusei, provided thorough explanations, and we gradually got the hang of it, making our way through the mangrove forest. The trekking to the waterfall was thrilling as we crossed a river that had risen due to the rain, and we arrived at the waterfall. We took photos in front of a rare waterfall that looked different from usual ones. We also enjoyed paddling back in the canoe. In the afternoon, we were able to land on Barasu Island, which we had given up on, and at two snorkeling spots, we saw wonderful coral reefs and tropical fish. Ryusei was cheerful and attentive throughout, which made us feel really safe and able to enjoy ourselves. For those worried about the weather, I highly recommend this tour as you can have a great time even in the rain!
出発前日に潮位の関係でバラス島上陸が難しいかもしれないとのご連絡を頂き、また、天気予報も雨だったので正直、少しがっかりした気持ちでの参加でした。当日はフェリーで西表島へ向かう途中から雨。お迎えの車内で説明を聞き、雨の中カヌーがスタート。50代女3人旅で、カヌーも3人乗り。皆初体験で不安がありましたが、ガイドのりゅうせい君が丁寧に説明して下さり、次第にコツを掴み、マングローブの森の中を進む事が出来ました。滝までのトレッキングは、雨で増水した川を横切ったりとスリル満点の中滝に到着。普段の滝とは様子が違うレアな滝の前で写真撮影。帰りのカヌーも楽しく漕ぎました。午後のシュノーケリングは、諦めていたバラス島にも上陸出来、2カ所のポイントで、素晴らしい珊瑚礁と熱帯魚を見ることが出来ました。りゅうせい君が終始明るく細かく声をかけてくれたので、本当に安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。天候で悩んでる方には雨でも全く心配なく楽しめるツアーなので、オススメしたいです!

In a word, I highly recommend this fun-filled tour.
It was my first time seeing mangroves, and my wife and I leisurely paddled along in a canoe. The guide was fantastic and took a lot of photos for us. It rained a bit, just a light drizzle, but it added to the nice atmosphere.
For lunch, we went to a local restaurant at our own expense (as mentioned in the tour description). I'm glad I brought cash.
In the afternoon, we took a boat to Balas Island for snorkeling. Since we wore life jackets, we didn't sink. The water was clear, there were corals, and we even saw fish from the movie Finding Nemo. The guide took many photos during this time as well. I borrowed prescription goggles for snorkeling, which allowed me to see the fish clearly. I also rented a wetsuit, which helped keep me warm when returning to the boat after snorkeling.
Overall, the guide was very enthusiastic and provided great guidance while taking photos, making the experience really enjoyable.
一言で言えば、楽しさ満載のツアーでオススメ。
マングローブは、自分は見るのは初めてで、妻との二人乗りカヌーでゆっくりと進む。ガイドさんはすごく良くて、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。雨は若干降っていて、少しの小雨程度でしたが、それがまたいい雰囲気を出していました。
ランチは、自腹で(そういう説明がツアーに書いてある)で、地元のお店に入りました。現金持っていってよかったです。
午後は、ボートでバラス島に行ってスノーケリング。ライフジャケットを付けているので、沈みません。また、水も綺麗で、サンゴもあり、映画のニモもいました。この時もガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれました。
あと、自分はスノーケリングの時は度付きのゴーグルを借りました。はっきり魚が見えてよかったです。あと、ウェットスーツも借りました。その方が、スノーケリング終わってからボートに戻っても寒くないですね。
全体として、ガイドさんがとても楽しそうに色々案内してくれて、写真を撮ってくれるのですごくよかったです。

Canoeing gracefully down the river while exploring the jungle! I was worried because I brought my 67-year-old mother, but thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy it safely!
Our guide, Taki, was so lively and calm, and I was surprised to learn he was only 19! He kept the conversation going on the bus.
When we arrived at Iriomote Island, it was raining, so I thought we wouldn't be able to see the stars or enjoy the ocean, but this jungle tour was actually wonderful because of the rain! We missed the morning session due to a mix-up on our part, but they gave us a discount, which was fantastic!
河を優雅にカヌーで漕ぎながらジャングル散策!67歳の母親を連れてたので不安でしたがガイドさんの引率のおかげで無事に楽しめました!
ガイドのタッキーさん、イケイケで落ち着いてはる人やのに19歳の若さで驚き!
バス内でもトークぐるんぐるん回してはりました。
西表島に着いたときは雨だから星も見れないし海も楽しめないな〜と意気消沈してましたが、このジャングルツアーは雨だからこそ趣があっていい!!
午前中はこちらの手違いで遅刻して参加できませんでしたが、割引もしてくださり最高です!

During Golden Week, I used the service while wearing a mask as a COVID-19 precaution. The bus was full, but I think it wouldn't be a concern if you had been vaccinated.
Due to the weather making the sea a bit rough, instead of snorkeling, we rode water buffalo. (I received a confirmation about the change the day before, and details were sent via email.) They adjusted the schedule to avoid wasting time, considering the large number of tourists.
The trekking experience, where we changed our shoes, allowed us to feel the river's water temperature on our skin, bringing back the joy of childhood. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and I was nervous about falling in, but sitting cross-legged while paddling let me enjoy the scenery in detail, making it a wonderful time! I was advised not to bring my smartphone, so I left it behind. Instead, they took photos at key moments and sent them to me via LINE. Such great service! In other countries, you would have to pay for this.
Even when we were quite behind during the canoeing with kids, they kindly chatted with us to lighten the mood, creating great memories. Everyone was cheerful and pleasant. During the bus ride, I could hear interesting stories about the characteristics of Iriomote Island and the local lifestyle. After a day of fun, I slept soundly until the next day.
GW,マスク着用コロナ対策中の利用でした。
バスは満員でしたが、ワクチン接種していたら気にならないと思います。
ツアー内容は天候で海が少し荒れたため、シュノーケリングの代わりに水牛に乗りました。
(前日に振替確認の連絡あり、メールでも詳細が届きました。)
旅行客が多い中、無駄な時間を作らないよう調整してスケジュールを進めてくれました。
靴を履き替えて体験したトレッキングは川の水温を肌で感じることができて、子供の頃に戻ったような楽しさでした。
サップも初体験で落ちるんじゃないかとドキドキしていましたが、胡座すわりで漕ぐと周りの風景が細かい部分まで楽しめてとてもよい時間でした!
スマホは持っていかないようアドバイスがあったので置いていきました。変わりに要所要所で写真を撮ってくれてラインで送ってくれました。すごいサービス精神!海外だったら完璧に買わなきゃいけないところです。
子連れカヌーでかなり出遅れていたときも世間話をして和ませてくれたり親切にしてもらい、いい思い出になりました。皆さん明るくて感じよかったです。
バス移動中に西表島の特徴やどんな生活をしているかを興味深く聞けます。
1日遊んで翌日までぐっすり寝れます。

Teru was amazing! From the moment we met at the port, he provided detailed advice after the tour, which made me feel reassured and trustworthy right away. The canoeing in the mangroves, which I was worried about due to the rain, turned out to be no problem at all! In fact, the rain added to the atmosphere, allowing us to experience Iriomote Island authentically. Teru explained everything at a great pace, and I truly felt supported. I'm really glad I participated!
担当のTERUさんが最高でした!港でお会いした時からツアー後の相談なども細かく乗っていただき、すぐに安心・信頼できました。雨で心配していたマングローブでのカヌーも、まったく問題なかったです!むしろ雨の方が雰囲気が出ており西表島らしく過ごすことができました。TERUさんはテンポ良くいろいろ説明してくださり、本当に頼もしかったです。本当に参加してよかったと思いました!

Canoeing was a first experience for both of us, but thanks to our guide Teru, we were able to enjoy it while fully appreciating the great outdoors. Also, on Yufuin Island, we enjoyed a leisurely view while riding in a water buffalo cart accompanied by wonderful singing.
カヌーは2人とも初体験でしたが、ガイドのテルさんに丁寧に教えていただき、大自然を満喫しながら楽しむことが出来ました。
また、由布島は素敵な歌声と共に水牛車でのんびり景色を楽しめました。

Despite making a reservation the night before, I received a courteous confirmation. I couldn't bring my phone when visiting the mangroves, but they took photos and sent them to me via LINE. They also shared various stories about Iriomote Island, which helped me learn a lot about the island itself. Thank you for the enjoyable tour!
前日夜に予約したにも関わらず、予約までご丁寧に連絡をいただけました。
マングローブに行く時に携帯は持っていけませんでしたが、写真を撮ってLINEに転送してくれました。
西表島のお話も色々教えていただき、島自体を知れたことがとても良かったです。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました!

I participated in a SUP and ox cart tour. The guide was very cheerful and friendly, which made me feel relaxed and allowed me to enjoy the activities without hesitation. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were many discrepancies between the information I found online and the actual situation, so I recommend asking the guide about the latest information on tourist spots and restaurants in Iriomote Island and Ishigaki Island.
I was a beginner at SUP, but the guide kindly taught me how to stand up, and I was able to take many wonderful photos. The spots where we took pictures were beautiful and known only to local guides. The ox cart tour, including the visit to Yufu Island, went smoothly, and thanks to the efficient movement throughout the tour, we had more playtime than I expected, which was fantastic.
When I visit again, I will definitely rely on this company and the guide! Thank you!
SUPと牛車のツアーに参加しました。
ガイドの方はとても明るい方で気さくに話しかけてくれるので気持ちがほぐれてアクティビティも気兼ねなく楽しめました。コロナの影響でネットで調べた情報と違うことが多いので、西表島や石垣島の観光スポットや飲食店などをガイドの方に聞いてみて最新情報を知っておくことをお勧めします。
SUPは初心者でしたが立って乗ることが出来るぐらい親切に教えてもらい、素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってもらいました。現地のガイドの方しか知らないスポットで撮ってもらえたのでとても綺麗でした。
牛車も由布島観光を含めて滞りなく進み、ツアーを通してテキパキと移動して頂いたことで遊びの時間が思ったよりも多く取れて最高でした。
またお伺いする時はこちらの会社とガイドさんに頼むと思います!ありがとうございました!

Thank you very much for using Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience caused by the inappropriate behavior of our guide.
Regarding Barasu Island, it has recently become very small, and there are days when landing is not possible.
We informed customers in advance and are offering a plan that includes two tours: SUP/canoeing on the Kurara River and snorkeling around Barasu Island, instead of a set plan that includes landing on Barasu.
Both plans are priced at 15,000 yen, and we sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings.
This is due to our lack of training in operations and prior announcements, and we apologize once again.
Moving forward, we will review our management system to ensure all customers are satisfied.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.
