Iriomote_island
I participated in a mangrove tour for the first time, and it was even more enjoyable than I imagined—I was very satisfied!
As we traveled along the calm river, I was able to see the magnificent nature and mangrove scenery unique to Iriomote Island up close, which was truly moving. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and the tour, while listening to stories about the flora and fauna, was very educational.
We also took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories. This tour is highly recommended for anyone visiting Iriomote Island, as even beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind. I would love to participate again when I come back to Iriomote Island!
初めてマングローブツアーに参加しましたが、想像以上に楽しくて大満足でした!
穏やかな川を進みながら、西表島ならではの雄大な自然やマングローブの景色を間近で見ることができ、とても感動しました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、動植物の話を聞きながらのツアーはとても勉強になりました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、素敵な思い出になりました。初心者でも安心して楽しめるので、西表島を訪れる方にはぜひおすすめしたいツアーです。また西表島に来た際は参加したいと思います!
It was a very fulfilling tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Iriomote Island in just one day!
In the mangroves, our guide provided fun explanations about the plants and creatures, and we were able to relax while enjoying the scenery. The jungle views, which are not something we usually see, were truly moving.
On Yubu Island, the experience of crossing over in a water buffalo cart was refreshing, and we were soothed by the buffalo's pace. The island was filled with tropical plants, making for a very pleasant and leisurely stroll.
Our guide was also kind and took many photos, creating wonderful memories. I think this tour is perfect for those visiting Iriomote Island for the first time!
西表島らしい自然を1日で満喫できる、とても充実したツアーでした!
マングローブでは、ガイドさんが植物や生き物について楽しく説明してくださり、景色を楽しみながらゆったり過ごすことができました。普段見ることのできないジャングルの景色はとても感動的でした。
由布島では水牛車に乗って島へ渡る体験が新鮮で、水牛さんのペースに癒されました。島内は南国らしい植物がたくさんあり、のんびり散策できてとても気持ちよかったです。
ガイドさんも親切で、写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、素敵な思い出になりました。西表島を初めて訪れる方にもぴったりのツアーだと思います!
I was able to experience the charm of Iriomote Island, which is completely different from during the day! The guide explained the plants and animals in an easy-to-understand way, and I was thrilled to encounter coconut crabs, frogs, and many other creatures.
They took us to places and showed us animals that we would never have found on our own, allowing us to feel the depth of nature on Iriomote Island. We were blessed with good weather, and the starry sky was beautiful, creating unforgettable memories.
If you're coming to Iriomote Island, I highly recommend participating in a night tour as well as the daytime activities!
昼間とはまったく違う西表島の魅力を体験できました!ガイドさんが動植物についてわかりやすく説明してくださり、ヤシガニやカエル、たくさんの生き物に出会えて大興奮でした。
自分たちだけでは絶対に見つけられない場所や生き物を案内していただき、西表島の自然の奥深さを感じられました。天気にも恵まれ、星空もとても綺麗で忘れられない思い出になりました。
西表島に来るなら、昼だけでなくナイトツアーもぜひ参加することをおすすめします!
I recommend long-sleeved shirts and long pants!
長袖長ズボンをオススメします!
I was looking for a trekking tour to Pinai Sara Falls that is accessible for those over 65, and I joined this one. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed kayaking on the calm Hinai River and trekking through the forests of Iriomote Island, eventually arriving at the magnificent basin of Pinai Sara Falls. It was hot, so I felt like a child again and swam in the basin.
I participated alone, but the guide took photos during kayaking and trekking and sent them to me, which was very helpful since I couldn't take pictures while focusing on paddling. The shop has showers and changing rooms, so you can change and enjoy sightseeing in the afternoon as well.
65歳以上でも参加できるピナイサーラの滝のトレッキングツアーを探していてこちらに参加しました。天候にも恵まれ静かなヒナイ川のカヤックと西表島の森のトレッキングを楽しみながら豪快なピナイサーラの滝壺に到着。暑かったこともあり童心に戻って滝壺で泳ぎました。
一人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんがカヤックやトレッキング中の写真を撮って送ってくださったので助かりました(漕ぐのに集中して写真がとれない)。
ショップにはシャワーと更衣室あるので着替えて午後からの観光も楽しめます。
If you are someone who regularly exercises, even seniors can enjoy it fully. In summer, sun protection and water (at least 1 liter) are essential.
日頃から体を動かしている方ならシニアの方でも十分楽しめます。夏は日焼け対策と水(最低1Lくらい)は必須です。
Among the many tours available for those up to 65 years old, this tour allowed me, at 66, to kayak to Ida Beach and also go snorkeling. Both kayaking and snorkeling were my first experiences, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, which made me feel at ease.
Ida Beach is beautiful, but the surrounding emerald green sea is truly breathtaking. The experience of kayaking through it was the best.
Thank you for this precious experience and the wonderful emotions.
65歳までのツアーが多い中、このツアーでは66歳の私でもイダの浜までカヤックで行けてシュノーケリングもできました。カヤックもシュノーケリングも初体験ですがガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれて安心です。
イダの浜も綺麗ですが、その周囲のエメラルドグリーンの海は感動です。その中をカヤックで進む体験は最高でした。
貴重な経験と感動、ありがとうございました。
Kayaking is a round trip of 10 km, and it takes over an hour one way. I think it's manageable for those who exercise regularly.
カヤックは往復10km、片道でも1時間以上かかります。日頃から運動している方なら大丈夫だと思います。
ご参加&高評価ありがとうございます。励みになります!
機会がありましたから是非次回もご参加お待ちしております。
It was my first experience snorkeling, and the staff were friendly. I was blessed with the best conditions (calm, warm, and clear sea), and it was absolutely amazing!
シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、スタッフも親切で、最高のコンディション(穏やかで、暖かで、透き通った海)にも恵まれ、サイコーによかったです!
The Sagarihana tour has a strict age limit of 65, but I was able to participate even though I am over that age.
We started by lowering the kayaks to the river in the morning glow and began paddling. Even as a beginner, I felt at ease because the guide carefully taught us how to paddle.
The guide took us to the best spot on the river that day, allowing us to fully enjoy the blooming Sagarihana and the petals gently falling.
I would love to join again next year.
65歳制限の多いサガリバナツアーですが、このツアーでは65歳を超えた私でも参加できました。
朝焼けの中、カヤックを川まで降ろし漕ぎ始めます。初めてでもガイドさんが丁寧にこぎ方を教えてくださるので安心です。
ガイドさんがその日最高の川に案内してくれるので、満開のサガリバナ、ぽたぽた落ちるサガリバナを満喫できました。
また来年も参加したいと思います。
It seems that you can participate until the age of 80, but since the river changes depending on the day, you might need the physical strength to help unload the canoe (or kayak?) from the trailer and
80歳まで参加できるようですが、日によって行く川が違うので、カヌー(カヤック?)を牽引車から降ろしたり川へ運ぶお手伝いをできる体力は必要かも。
高評価&ご参加ありがとうございます!
是非次回もご参加おまちしております。
Two of us participated! The staff was very kind and provided transportation close to the hotel! During the canoeing, they taught us about constellations and shared information about the island, making it a great experience✨ I'm glad I participated! I recommend it to anyone who is unsure!!
女2人で参加しました!
ホテルの近くまで送迎してくれてスタッフの方もとても親切でした!
カヌー中も星座を教えてくれたり、島のことをし教えてくれたりといい経験になりました✨参加してよかったです!悩んでる方はおすすめです!!
こんにちは、西表自然学校の岩本です。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。天気よく星もよく見えました。また機会があればよろしくお願いいたします。
ありがとうございました。
The weather was nice, the Sagari-bana flowers were beautiful, and we were fortunate to have a great guide. It was the best tour! We were able to see the scenery as described in the brochure, and I thoroughly enjoyed the fragrance of the flowers. I'm very satisfied! Thank you!
天気も良く、サガリバナもキレイで、ガイドさんにも恵まれ、最高のツアーでした
パンフレットにあるような景色も見れましたし、花の香りも堪能出来て大満足です!
ありがとうございました!
I recommend marine shoes over beach sandals.
ビーチサンダルよりは、マリンシューズなどをおすすめします
高評価とご参加ありがとうございます!楽しんでいただけて何よりです。
A couple, aged 63 and 62, chose Iriomote Island for their final adventure. They have experienced canoeing over the past five years in places like the Shimanto River and Miyako Island, as well as hiking on Mount Fuji and Yakushima, but they decided it might be time for their last adventure together. In the end, it was a great decision. Although it was a bit cloudy, they were able to enjoy a pleasant half-day. Since it was just the two of them with the guide, the instructions were clear and easy to understand for the elderly. Even though they said it would be their last time, they found themselves wanting to come back again.
63歳と62歳の夫婦が最後に挑む冒険として、西表島を選びました。カヌーはここ5年間、四万十川、宮古島等で体験、登山も同じく、富士山、屋久島島等で体験していますが、そろそろ最後かなと夫婦で相談しこの地を選びました。その結果、大正解でした。少し曇りがちでしたが。気持ちの良い半日を過ごすことができました。ガイドの案内は私たち夫婦のみでしたので年寄り相手に解りやすく案内していただきました。最後といいながらまた来たいと思ってしましました。
It's very moving.
とても感動しますよ。
この度は、西表島ピナイサーラの滝半日コースにご参加頂きありがとうございました。マングローブカヤックや、トレッキングを楽しんで頂けて良かったです。また機会があればよろしくお願いいたします。ありがとうございました。
Since it was a half-day course, my 9-year-old child was able to participate without any issues. Kayaking under the blue sky while admiring the mangroves was fantastic. We had plenty of time to swim in the waterfall pool, and the course included having lunch there before heading back. During the hike, we received explanations about rare plants and even got to see crabs, making for a fulfilling day. I was also satisfied with the many photos they sent us. If I have the chance to come back to Iriomote Island, I would love to participate again.
半日コースだったので、9歳の子供でも問題なく参加することができました。マングローブを眺めながら、青空の下のカヤックは最高でした。
滝つぼで泳ぐ時間もしっかりと取れ、ランチを滝つぼで頂いてから戻ってくるというコースでした。ハイキングの道中では珍しい植物の説明をしてもらったり、カニを見れたりして、充実した日になりました。写真もたくさん送ってもらえて満足です。また西表島に来ることがあったら参加したいです。
I was able to fully enjoy the charms of Iriomote Island in one day with canoeing, waterfalls, and snorkeling. There were many picturesque views, making it a particularly memorable experience during my trip.
カヌー、滝、シュノーケリングと西表島の魅力を1日で満喫できました。写真映えする景色も多く、旅行の中でも特に思い出に残る体験になりました。
この度は、西表島カヤック&スノーケリングツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございました。天気も良く良かったです。また機会があればよろしくお願いいたします。ありがとうございました。
First of all, I would like to thank all the instructors for this experience. They provided guidance in a very polite and approachable manner, creating a friendly atmosphere throughout. Although we had a guided tour in the rain, I felt that they offered a unique enjoyment and appreciation of nature that can only be found here. Approaching 50 years old, I was able to encounter one of my dreams since elementary school: the Yaeyama mangrove butterfly in Iriomote Island! I was truly very satisfied.
まずはインストラクターの方々皆さんこの度はありがとうございました。
丁寧かつフラットな感じで、終始とても接しやすい雰囲気で案内して頂きました。
雨の中のガイドではありましたが、雨ならではの楽しみ方、自然の感じ方等、ここにしか無い最大限の楽しさを提供して頂いたのではと感じております。
50歳手前にして小学生からの夢の一つ、西表島のヤエヤマヒルギシジミとも出逢えました!
本当に大満足でした
Even on rainy days, there are unique qualities that come with them, so I think the weather is somewhat like encounters in life.
雨天でも雨天ならではの良さがあったので、天候も出逢いみたいなものかなと思います。
I heard that there are times when you can't see the coconut crabs, but I was able to find more than 10 of them while climbing trees (it's a shame I couldn't take proper photos). The sky was clear, and I was able to see the beautiful starry sky!
ヤシガニが見れない時もあるとのことでしたが、車のハンドル級(写真ちゃんと取れず残念)木登り中など10匹以上発見できました。
空も晴れており星空も綺麗に見ることが出来ました!
You can borrow insect repellent spray, but since you'll be walking through the grass, I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants.
虫除けスプレー貸してくれますが、草むらを通るので長袖長ズボンおすすめ
In my 60s, I was worried about my physical stamina, but the guide was always attentive and walked at my pace. During the canoeing and trekking, they provided information about various plants and animals. I was particularly impressed by the sagari flower, which blooms at night and wilts by morning, floating by the waterside.
The waterfall was beautiful, and the water in the basin felt great. They allowed plenty of time for us to enjoy it, and the homemade bento we had there was exceptional.
They also took more photos than I had imagined. Families with children or those hesitant about strenuous trekking should definitely choose this option.
60代、体力にも自信がなく心配でしたが、ガイドさんが常に気にしてくれて、私のペースに合わせて歩いてくれました。カヌー、トレッキングの最中にも色々な動植物の案内をしてくれました。中でも夜咲いて朝までに散るさがり花が水辺に浮いてて感激。
滝は美しい、滝壺の水は気持ち良い、時間もたっぷり取ってくれて、そこで食べる手作り感満載のお弁当は格別でした。
写真も想像以上にたくさん撮ってくれていました。
子どもさん連れのご家族や、ハードなトレッキングに躊躇している方は、ぜひこのメニューを選んでください。
The next day, I was sore all over.
翌日は全身筋肉痛です。
In a word, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I came. First of all, we were blessed with great weather, and the trekking went smoothly. There were some steeper and more challenging parts than I expected, but I was able to push through to the end thanks to the two guides and the other participants in the tour, who made it enjoyable. Soaking in the waterfall pool felt amazing! I definitely recommend this experience to everyone else. Thank you!
一言で言うととても楽しく来てよかった、と言う感じです。まずとてもお天気に恵まれ、トレッキングも順調に進みました。思ったより急で険しい所もあり大変でしたが、ガイドさん二人と同ツアー参加の方と楽しく頑張れたので最後までやり抜けれました。
滝壷での水浸かりはとても気持ちよかったです!ぜひ他の皆様にも体験をおすすめします。
ありがとうございました。
I think it's a good idea to bring a hat and sunglasses.
帽子とサングラスは持って行かれた方がいいと思います。
ゲコさま
先日はツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。高評価のレビューまでいただき、感謝しております。
晴天に恵まれ、5月とはいえかなり暑い中でのカヌー、トレッキングでしたので、最後まで楽しんでいただけたご様子に私たちもほっとしております。滝うえからの絶景や滝つぼでの爽快感は訪れた人にしか味わえない特別な体験だったのではないかと思います。
西表島にはまだまだたくさんの魅力がありますので、機会がありましたらぜひまたお越しください。
またお会いできる日のことを楽しみにしております。
ありがとうございました。

Iriomote Island was amazing! I received communication from them the day before, and on the day of the tour, there was a guide, canoeing instructions, and explanations about the mangroves and other ecosystems, making for a fun and valuable experience. Canoeing while looking at the greenery and the sea was fantastic. The water buffalo cart on Yubu Island and the botanical garden were truly enjoyable. I also visited Taketomi Island, but the experiences and sightseeing on Iriomote Island were outstanding. Iriomote Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it's difficult to explore on your own, so it's efficient to go with a guide. I appreciate the transportation to the port as well.
西表島、サイコーでした!前日からご連絡も頂き、当日のガイドやカヌーのレクチャー、マングローブ等の生態の説明もあり楽しく貴重な時間でした。緑や海を見ながら カヌーは、サイコーでした。由布島の水牛車、植物園と本当に楽しかったです。竹富島も行きましたが、西表島の体験や観光が素晴らしかったです。西表島は世界自然遺産で、個人では難しくガイドさんの案内で回るのが効率的です。港までも送迎、感謝です
Iriomote Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and I think it's best to explore it with someone knowledgeable about the area. I recommend combining activities with sightseeing. Riding a water buffal
西表島は世界自然遺産で、地元に詳しい方と一気に回る方が良いと思う。アクテビティと観光をセットがおすすめです。由布島、水牛車に載って三線聴きながら海を渡るのは非日常感を味わえますよ
I had a great time. If you're going to Iriomote Island, you should definitely do this. However, since there are various tour options available, I recommend considering others as well before making a choice.
Regarding lunch, on other tours, people were enjoying delicious bento boxes or Okinawa soba made by the guides right in front of the waterfall. In this tour, lunch was scheduled after returning home. Personally, I found that to be quite disappointing.
非常に楽しかった。西表島行くならやるべし。
ただ色々なツアーの選択肢があるので他とも検討して選ぶのがおすすめ。
昼ごはんに関して、
他のツアーでは滝を目の前にして、美味しそうな弁当やガイドさんが作った沖縄そば食べていた。
ここのツアーは帰宅してから昼ごはんという流れだった。
私的にはそれが非常に残念だと思いましたり

In mid-May, I participated with my 4-year-old daughter and my husband, making it a family of three. At first, I was a bit worried about whether we could do canoeing and trekking with a small child, but the guide kindly adjusted to my daughter's pace throughout the trip, and the other tour participants were also very considerate of her, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My daughter was so excited to walk through the forest and touch the river water all by herself!
The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared many interesting and easy-to-understand stories about the insects we encountered along the way and the nature of Iriomote Island. Even the adults were captivated, making it a fantastic learning and adventure time that was more than just walking.
Additionally, I can't forget the freshly made hot Yaeyama soba that the guide cooked right in front of us using a burner, seasoned with kochujang! The natural setting, the soothing sound of the river, and the delicious broth that soaked into our bodies after the hike were truly exceptional, and our whole family finished it all in no time.
5月中旬に、4歳の娘と夫婦の家族3人で参加しました。
最初は小さな子供連れでカヌーやトレッキングができるか少し不安もありましたが、ガイドの方が終始娘のペースに合わせて優しくリードしてくださり、ご一緒になった他のツアー客の方も、娘のことを親切に気にしてくださり、終始安心して楽しむことができました。娘も自分で一生懸命森の中を歩き、川の水に触れて大はしゃぎでした!
ガイドさんはとても知識が豊富な方で、道中に出会う虫のことや西表島の自然について、フランクでありながらとても分かりやすく興味深いお話をたくさんしてくれました。大人もぐいぐい引き込まれ、ただ歩くだけではない最高の学びと冒険の時間になりました。
また、ランチで川のすぐ目の前でガイドさんがバーナーを使って作ってくださった、出来立て熱々の八重山そばにコーレーグースを入れた味が忘れられません!大自然のロケーション、心地よい川のせせらぎ、そして歩いた後の体に染み渡るお出汁の美味しさは本当に格別で、家族みんなでペロリと完食してしまいました。
Please be careful not to lose your sunglasses.
サングラスは無くさないようにご注意を
On the day I participated, I was very lucky to discover many coconut crabs in the forest. It was said that days like this are rare. Also, since it was a new moon, the starry sky was very clear, and I was able to see artificial satellites and shooting stars, making it a valuable experience.
私が参加した日はとてもラッキーなことに、森の中でヤシガニさんを沢山発見することができました。こんなに見られる日は珍しいとのことでした。
また新月だったので星空もよく見えて、人工衛星や流れ星も見られて、貴重な体験をすることができました。
The guide will lend you insect repellent spray, but since you'll be pushing through the grass, I think it's better for participants to prepare long sleeves and long pants.
ガイドさんが虫除けスプレーを貸してくださいますが、草むらをかき分けたりするので参加する方は長袖長ズボンを用意した方が良いと思います。
I experienced mangroves, SUP, and a water buffalo cart on Yubu Island. The staff were polite and cheerful, providing great guidance, which was very nice. It felt like time flowed slowly, and I was very relaxed. There are also stylish restaurants on Iriomote Island, and I enjoyed a delicious lunch there.
There was about an hour of waiting time until the return ferry, so I hope there will be a smoother ferry option available in the future.
マングローブ、SUP.由布島観光、水牛車 の体験しました。スタッフさんは丁寧で元気よく案内してくれてとてもよかったです。のんびりと時間が流れるようでとても癒されました。西表島におしゃれなレストランもあり、美味しいランチもいただけました。
帰りのフェリーまで1時間くらい待ち時間があったので、もう少しスムーズに帰れるフェリーがあるといいなと思いました。
When canoeing or doing SUP, it's easier to move if you don't bring anything with you.
カヌーやサップやるときは持ち物は何も持って行かない方が動きやすいです。
Yesterday’s canoeing trip was excellent from start to finish. We were met at the port exactly as promised and introduced to our guide, Ryoma. His English was excellent, and he explained everything clearly, making us feel very welcome.
Once we arrived, we got into our canoes and headed down the river. Ryoma was very informative about the local wildlife and nature, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a great time canoeing along the river, and the weather was perfect — sunny with a light breeze.
At the end of the trip, we were taken to shower facilities before being dropped back at the port, which was very convenient. Ryoma also sent us the photos he had taken during the trip, and they were all really high quality.
Overall, the whole experience was perfect and exactly what we had hoped for. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it.

Double check your shoe size in cm if you are from the UK/EU or bring your own water shoes.

In the morning, I was moved by the great nature while kayaking through the mangroves✨ We entered narrow paths that felt like a maze, which was really interesting! During the free time, including lunch break, the guide introduced us to some recommended shops! After enjoying a leisurely meal, we had plenty of time to take a short stroll around the area! In the afternoon, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island and explored the island on foot🚶. There was just the right amount of free time here too! I had a fulfilling day filled with many first-time experiences!
午前中はマングローブカヤックで、大自然に感動しました✨細い道にも入り、迷路のようで面白かったです!
お昼休憩を含めた自由時間では、ガイドさんがおすすめのお店を紹介していただきました!
ゆっくり食べた後に周辺を少し散策できるくらい、十分に時間がありました!
午後は水牛車に乗って由布島へ行き、島を散策しました🚶ここでもちょうど良い自由時間でした!
初めての体験を沢山して、充実した1日でした!
I was able to see both the mangroves and the sunset, and it was relaxing, calm, and enjoyable! Thank you very much.
マングローブもサンセットも見れて
のんびりゆったりおだやかで楽しかったです!
ありがとうございました。
The guide listened to our wishes attentively, and we were able to fully enjoy the mangroves we love! We also encountered many unique creatures from Iriomote Island, such as the heron and the kingfisher, and the explanations about the island's nature were very interesting. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
ガイドさんが丁寧に希望を聞いてくださり、大好きなマングローブを満喫できました!
ヘラサギやアカショウビンなど、西表島ならではの生き物にもたくさん会えましたし、島の自然についてのご説明もとっても面白かったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございます!
It was cloudy, but it was actually good for my stamina. Canoeing was a first-time experience for me, and while I thought the trekking distance afterward wasn't long, I had to be careful navigating over the tangled tree roots and around the boulders while going up and down. I was the oldest in the group at 71 years old, but I was surprised to see elementary school kids playing at the base of the Pinai Waterfall when we arrived. The ferry from Ishigaki was canceled at Uehara Port, so we arrived by shuttle bus from Ohara Port, but the Iriomote Island Monsoon team provided safe transportation for us. The guide took photos at various points, including the canoeing spots and the waterfall. This was my second visit to Iriomote Island, but this time I truly felt the essence of the island. It was great. I felt pleasantly tired. Thank you very much.
曇天でしたが反って体力的には良かったです。カヌーは初めての経験で、その後のトレッキングの距離は長くは無いと思いましたが、張り巡らされた木の根を跨いで巨石を迂回しての上り下りに神経を使いました。この7人グループの最高齢は私71才でしたが到着したピナイサーラの滝下で小学生が遊んでいたことにびっくりしました。石垣からのフェリーは上原港が欠航で大原港から連絡バスでの到着でしたが、西表島モンスーンさんは無事に送迎してくれました。写真もカヌーのポイント、滝のポイントなどでガイドさんに撮っていただきました。西表島は2回目でしたが。今回は改めて西表島を実感しました。良かったです。心地よい疲れでした。ありがとうございました。
Even if the ferry to Uehara Port is canceled, it's fine to go via Ohara Port.
上原港行きが欠航でも大原港経由で大丈夫です。
I experienced a mangrove canoe 🛶 and water buffalo tour at Yufu Island 🐮. First of all, I'm really glad I chose this tour! The distance from the mangrove spot to Yufu Island was surprisingly far, and traveling by car was essential. I believe that participating in the tour allowed me to smoothly experience both activities in one day! Moreover, our instructor, Shabi, provided various interesting facts about Iriomote Island while guiding us, which made the experience even more enjoyable than the activities themselves!
I also joined the tour as a day trip from Ishigaki Island. After the tour ended, there was a bit of time before the return ferry, but I highly recommend Maruma Beach 🏖, which is about a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal! It was the most beautiful sea I've ever seen, and since I happened to have clothes that I didn't mind getting wet, I changed and played in the sea. The time until the ferry arrived flew by!
マングローブカヌー🛶&由布島水牛観光🐮のツアーを体験しました。
まず、本当にツアーにしてよかったです!マングローブスポットから由布島までは意外と距離があり、車での移動必須でした。ツアーに参加したからこそ、1日でスムーズに両方体験できたと思います!そして何よりインストラクターのシャビさんが、色々な西表島豆知識を挟みながら案内してくださったので、アクティビティそのもの以上に楽しむことができました!
また石垣島から日帰りで参加したのですが、ツアー終了後~帰りのフェリーまで少し時間があきますが、フェリー乗り場から歩いて10分ほどのところにあるまるまビーチ🏖が本当におすすめです!!!今まで見た海の中でいちばんきれいで、ちょうど濡れてもいい服装を持っていたので、着替えて海で遊んでいると、フェリーまでの時間はあっという間でした。
Even in the case of canoeing, it's essential to wear clothes that can get wet since your bottom will get a little wet when you sit down!
カヌーの場合でも、座るとお尻が少し濡れるので濡れてもいい服装は必須です!
We had a great afternoon during the canoe tour in the mangroves. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the mangrove ecosystem. The excursion was well organized, relaxing, and very enjoyable. We definitely recommend it!

My first canyoning experience was in the great outdoors of Iriomote Island, where the heat and tranquility coexist. With the reliable support of our guide, I was able to enjoy it without any worries!
I jumped into a stream that appeared in a jungle I would usually hesitate to enter, and it felt amazing to surrender myself to the pleasantly cool flow.
Including the mini trekking before and after, it was a memorable grand adventure. Additionally, I added a half-day tour of Yufu Island before the canyoning tour, making the most of my time after arriving from Ishigaki Island, and I was very satisfied!
初めてのキャニオニングは、西表島の熱気と静けさが同居した大自然の中で、頼れるガイドさんの適切なサポートの下で、心置きなく楽しむことができました!
普段なら入ってみたいが躊躇するジャングルに現れた渓流に、いざ飛び込み、心地よい冷たさの流れに身を任せるのはとても気持ちが良いです。
前後のミニトレッキング含め、思い出に残る大冒険でした。
またキャニオニングツアーの前に、半日の由布島観光も追加して1日お世話になりましたが、石垣島から到着後の時間をフルに活用でき、大満足です!
The guide was bright and friendly. It was a very fulfilling tour that was worth more than the price, and we thoroughly explored the jungle. We visited at the beginning of May during the Golden Week, just after the start of the rainy season, but fortunately, we were blessed with good weather. In fact, thanks to the rain just before our visit, we encountered many creatures that thrive in humidity!
明るく、親切なガイドさんでした。価格以上にとても充実したツアーで、ジャングルの中をしっかり散策します。訪問は5月頭のGWで梅雨入り直後でしたが、運良く天気にも恵まれ、むしろ直前の雨のおかげで湿気を好む生物に沢山出会えました!
The cuffs of long pants may get a bit dirty. If you don't mind insects, shorts would be fine as well. The guide was wearing short sleeves and shorts. Shoes were available for rent.
長ズボンの裾は多少汚れます。虫が気にならなければ半ズボンでもよさそうです。ガイドさんは半袖半ズボンでした。靴は貸し出しがありました。
