The guide was truly knowledgeable about stars, plants, animals, and insects, as expected from a nature school. Rather than just talking at us, they asked many questions, making it enjoyable even for solo participants.
They mentioned at the beginning that they wanted us to feel the transition from dusk to night, which we certainly did during the relaxed tour, allowing us to spend a peaceful time. Canoeing felt more like drifting down the river than actively paddling. As dusk turned to night, we could sense the presence and sounds of creatures starting to become active, and we even saw bioluminescent plankton.
I usually choose activities that involve physical movement, but this tour, which encouraged us to pay attention to things we often overlook, shifted my perspective a bit. It was a thoroughly satisfying experience.
ガイドさんは、さすが自然学校と看板にしているだけあって、星・動植物・昆虫なんでも詳しい方でした。一方的に話進めるのではなく、こちらへの問いかけも多く、一人参加でも十分楽しめました。
「日常ではあまり意識しない夕暮れから夜へと変わっていく景色を感じてほしい」と最初にお話されてましたが、その通りにゆったりとした案内で、のどかな時間を過ごせました。
カヌーも「漕いで移動」というよりは、川の中を流される感じ。
夕暮れから夜に変わって、活動し始める生き物の気配や鳴き声を感じたり、夜光虫も見えました。
アクティビティは体を動かすものばかりを選択してきましたが、こうした何もしないで普段気にしないことに目を配り耳を傾けるのもいいなと、価値観が少し変わった大満足のツアーでした。

Unfortunately, the starry sky was not visible, but I was able to enjoy the night jungle of Iriomote Island with excitement. The guide carefully explained each creature we encountered, and I found myself saying "Wow, I see!" repeatedly. I thought the guide was a veteran due to their attentive service and calm demeanor, but I was surprised to learn they were quite young! I highly recommend it! 😊
星空はあいにくでしたが、西表島の夜のジャングルをドキドキしながら楽しむことができました。見つける生き物を一種類ずつ丁寧に解説してもらい、へぇ〜、なるほど〜という言葉の連続でした。丁寧な対応と落ち着いたガイドでベテランさんかと思いましたが、とても若いと聞いてびっくりしました!おすすめです(^^)

Iriomote Island during Golden Week. The weather was not great with light rain. They mentioned that same-day cancellations were possible, and I debated until the evening, but I thought it would be better than lounging around at the hotel, so I decided to go after all. The guide helped us find coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and snakes, making it a fun experience. Thank you!
GWの西表島。お天気はイマイチで小雨。
当日キャンセルも可能と言って頂き、夕方まで悩みましたが、ホテルでダラダラするよりはと思い、折角なので行ってみました。

It was a canoe course around Yufu Island. There were more trees than I expected, and it was challenging to paddle through the jungle, haha. Not only during the canoeing but also during the car ride, I enjoyed the discussions about the wildlife of Iriomote and how the ditches and roads are designed for them! I also received recommendations for good restaurants in Ishigaki and Iriomote!
カヌーと由布島のコースでした。
思ったよりも木がたくさんあり、ジャングルの中をカヌーで進むのは難しかったです笑
カヌーの時だけでなく、移動中の車で西表の生き物の話・そのために側溝や道が工夫されていることなどお話いただいてたのしかったです!

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour!
The tour started before sunset, and by the time the sun set, the river was beautifully dyed red, creating a stunning view. Although the sky was cloudy and not filled with stars, it was the best natural experience to listen to the sounds of nature while seeing the stars peeking through the clouds.
The guide was knowledgeable and explained everything in detail, which made me feel comfortable participating in the tour. On the way back, we walked through a forest where fireflies were dancing, creating a very magical atmosphere. I had an experience unique to the island that I can't see in the city. When I visit again, I would love to experience the changing of the day and the starry sky.
ツアーに参加させて頂いて、ありがとうございました!
夕日が沈む前からツアーが始まって、夕日が落ちる時には、河が赤く染まってとっても素敵な景色でした。
曇り空で、星空が一面なわけではなかったのですが、雲の間から見える星々と自然の音を聞きながら、最高の自然体験でした。
ガイドさんは博識で、何でも丁寧に教えて頂いて安心してツアーに参加することができました。
帰りは蛍が飛び交う林の中を歩いて、とても幻想的です。
街では見られない、島ならではの体験をさせて頂きました。また訪れた時には、日の移り変わりと星空を体験したいです。
Thank you for participating in the night kayak tour. We hope you enjoyed it. We look forward to seeing you again if the opportunity arises. Thank you.

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.
夜から降った雨のため、川増水!当初の計画は急遽組み直され、洞窟探検とsupに。洞窟探検はテレビで見るような迫力!顎まで川に浸かっての探索は初体験です。supは、練習はおぼつかなかったけど、やってみたら簡単で楽しかった!

I didn't realize we had arrived, and then we started the dark tour by turning the car around in a narrow passageway. I was taken down a path that made me think, "Are we really going this way?!" and right from the start, I got to see a coconut crab.
After that, we discovered various sizes of coconut crabs, and it was a continuous cycle of touching them and being surprised. We also found many other creatures. Although the starry sky was faint due to the clouds, we strolled along the beach, and honestly, it was more fun than I expected.
Watch out for the beetles that rush towards the light!
到着したと気づかずにいたら、暗闇の狭い通路で車を回転させ、感心からの暗闇ツアー開始。ここいくの?!という道を連れられ、開始早々ヤシガニを見せてもらえました。
その後も大小様々なヤシガニを発見してもらい、触ったり、驚いたりの連続。他にも様々な生き物を発見。雲が多かったため星空は薄かったですがビーチで散策もして、正直、思いの外楽しかったです。

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。

Although there was a forecast for rain on Iriomote Island, it turned out to be sunny during the day, so I booked a stargazing tour. Even though it was the same day, they provided transportation to the hotel. The guide's explanations were great, and I was able to learn more about Iriomote Island for the first time. We observed various plants and animals, including coconut crabs, habu snakes, and crabs. It was a rare experience to step into the lush forest at night. When we emerged from the forest onto the beach, I wanted to say it was a sky full of stars! However, there were a few clouds, and the moon was out, so it wasn't quite the starry sky I had imagined, but I still experienced a wonderful night sky. If I have another chance, I will participate again.
雨の予報が出ていた西表島でしたが、なんと日中晴れたため、星空観測ツアーを予約しました。当日でしたが、ホテルまで送迎していただきました。ガイドの方の説明も良く、初めての西表島をより深く知ることができました。動植物鑑賞は、ヤシガニ、ハブ、カニなど。夜に草木茂る森に足を踏み入れることがないため貴重な体験。森を抜けてビーチに出ると、一面の星空!と言いたいとこでしたが、少し雲がかかり、月も出ていたため、思い描いていたような星空とまでは行きませんでしたが、素敵な星空を体験出来ました。またチャンスがあれは参加します。

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。

I participated with my fourth-grade child. Although there were times when it was sunny during the day but cloudy at night, fortunately, the weather allowed us to see the stars clearly. The guide was quick on their feet and flexibly took us to a spot where we could see the stars while they were still visible. The starry sky in Iriomote Island was truly wonderful. During the night walk, we encountered many creatures like coconut crabs, habu snakes, hermit crabs, and possibly a brown hawk owl, which made for great memories for my child who loves animals. There was also another small child in our group, and I was grateful that the guide was very attentive to them. The tour provided insect repellent, lights, and since the terrain was rough, they lent us boots, so we didn't need any special equipment. It was hot, but since we sometimes walked through dense vegetation, I think long sleeves and long pants are a good idea. Thank you very much for this experience.
小学4年生の子供と一緒に参加しました。日中晴れていても夜は雲が出るというようなこともそれまではありましたが、幸いにも星空が良く見える天気に。ガイドの方が機転を利かせてくれて、星が見れるうちに星が良く見えるスポットに行くなどフレキシブルに対応くださいました。西表島の星空は本当に素晴らしかったです。ナイトウォークでもヤシガニやハブ、オカヤドカリ、コノハズク?など多くの生き物に遭遇でき生きもの好きな子供にも良い思い出となりました。もう1人小さなお子さんがいらっしゃいましたがガイドの方が丁寧に対応してくれていてありがたかったです。ツアーでは虫よけ、ライト、足場が悪いためブーツの貸し出しはしてくださったので特別な道具はいりませんでした。暑いですが茂みの中を行くこともあるので長袖、長ズボンが良いと思います。今回はどうもありがとうございました。

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.

Canoeing in the mangroves was very pleasant and allowed me to experience something out of the ordinary; it was fun. The day before, we were unable to land on Barasu Island due to rough seas, so we quickly switched to a tour of Yubu Island, which was also enjoyable as we leisurely explored while riding water buffalo, creating great memories. The guide was also very friendly and engaging, which was nice. I recommend bringing a change of pants and underwear, as your bottom and lower legs will get wet while canoeing. It was also great to be able to take a shower afterward. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Since there are no transportation options like taxis, they kindly stopped by a supermarket and recommended delicious restaurants before taking us back to the hotel, which was really helpful.

I participated in a night tour and mangrove SUP at Pipi, as well as a tour of Yubu Island!! ✨ Our guide, Ryusei, was kind and funny, providing detailed information about Iriomote Island along the way, which was really enlightening—there's so much you wouldn't know unless you join the tour! I'm really glad I did it! ♡
The night tour was amazing with so many creatures to see, and it had a completely different atmosphere compared to Iriomote Island during the day! (*^^*) I was super excited to see animals like coconut crabs, habu snakes, fireflies, and owls, which I’ve never seen on the mainland! (*^^*)
The next day's SUP was also wonderful, surrounded by impressive mangroves that felt like something out of a Studio Ghibli film. Ryusei kindly taught us how to paddle, so I was able to fully enjoy the mangroves while having fun on the SUP! ♡
Riding a water buffalo to cross to Yubu Island was thrilling, and seeing the plants and butterflies on Yubu Island was the best!
Even though I met the other participants for the first time, we all had a great time together, which is the charm of travel tours, right? ♡ It was so much fun!!! Thank you for the two wonderful days! ♡
pipiさんでナイトツアーとマングローブでSUP、由布島のツアーに参加しました!!✨
ガイドのりゅうせい君が優しくおもしろく
ガイドしてくれて、道中、西表島の事を詳しく教えてくださり、へぇ〜〜!!!
とためになり、ツアーに参加しないとわからない事がたくさんあるなぁ♡やって良かったと思いました♡
ナイトツアーは生き物がたくさん見れて
お昼間の西表島とは全然違う雰囲気があって楽しかったですー!!(*^^*)
ヤシガニ、ハブ、ホタル、フクロウなどなど本土では見たことない生き物ばっかりで大興奮でした!(*^^*)
翌日のSUPもジブリにでてきそうな迫力のあるマングローブで自然に癒やされ、
りゅうせい君が優しく乗り方も教えてくれたのでマングローブを満喫しながら
SUPも楽しめました♡
由布島も水牛に乗って渡るのがもうワクワクでしたし、由布島の植物や蝶など見れて最高でした!!
同じツアーの方々とも初対面なのにみんなでわいわいできるのが旅のツアーの醍醐味ですよね♡楽しかったです!!!
2日間ありがとうございました♡

I participated in Teru's tour!
I was very grateful that they worked hard to find coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and owls so that the participants could enjoy themselves.
It was also helpful that they flexibly changed the tour content because it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, and we were able to see four coconut crabs, which was what we were hoping for.
They provide detailed explanations about the ecology of living creatures and plants, so I recommend this tour for those visiting the island for the first time.
テルさんのツアーに参加しました!
参加者が楽しめるよう、ヤシガニやヤドカリ、フクロウを一生懸命探してくださりとてもありがたかったです
お目当てのヤシガニも4匹見れたのと、曇りで星が見えないからと柔軟にツアー内容を変更いただけたのも助かりました。
生き物や植物の生態について詳しく説明してくださるので、初めて島に来る方にもオススメです

Paddling through the mangrove-filled river on a stand-up paddleboard was a lot of fun. The weather was great, and the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees was beautiful. The gentleman took many photos for us, and every picture turned out beautifully, leaving us very satisfied. Interacting with the water buffalo named Rui on Yufujima, being able to take photos, and enjoying delicious gelato were all wonderful experiences, making for a very enjoyable day. Thank you very much!
マングローブが生い茂る川の中をsupを漕いだのがとても楽しかったです。天気がとてもよく、木漏れ日がとても綺麗でした。お兄さんに写真をたくさん撮っていただいて、どの写真も写りがきれいで大満足です。由布島で水牛のルイくんと触れ合いしたこと、写真を撮れたこと、美味しいジェラートが食べられたこと、どれもよくてとても楽しい1日でした。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
Thank you for joining the one-day tour! ^ ^
It was a beautiful sunny day, and the scenery in the mangrove forest was stunning!
I’m very happy that you got to experience stand-up paddleboarding for the first time on Iriomote Island. ^ ^
I hope you enjoyed your time on Yubu Island as well.
Please come back to Iriomote Island again!
I look forward to seeing you again!

There were several similar tours, but I chose this one because it had a longer duration among the half-day courses, offered good value for money, and could be booked privately for our group of seven (two families). In the end, I was very satisfied.
The kayaking lasted for 40 minutes each way, which was a nice length. We were able to enjoy a relaxing time while looking at the mangroves and listening to the sound of the paddles in the water. During the trekking, our guide was attentive, especially with my children, who are in first and third grade. He provided explanations about the unusual trees and answered all our questions, which was very educational. Although it was still a bit chilly at the end of March, we all had fun swimming in the waterfall pool (I was surprised that the guide joined us in the cold water!). The lunch included two large rice balls (with plum and kelp), fried chicken, boiled eggs, and pickles, which were delicious while we enjoyed the view of the waterfall (even though we got splashed and it was cold).
As for the restroom situation, it seems similar to other companies' tours, but our guide provided portable toilets that we had to take back with us. On the way back, we trekked and kayaked the same route we came. Normally, children kayak with adults, but based on my first-grade son’s skills (he has kayaking experience), he was allowed to kayak alone, and I felt proud watching him paddle quietly and enjoy himself. I hope to encourage him to say that kayaking is his strong suit in the future! We received photos and videos after the tour, making it a very satisfying experience.
By the way, the items provided for the tour included shoes and a waterproof backpack. It’s advisable to bring a raincoat and a bath towel if you plan to swim.
同様のツアーがいくつかありましたが、半日コースの中でも時間が長めでコスパも良く、7名(2家族)だと貸切になるとのことでしたのでこちらに決めました。結果、大満足です。
カヤックは40分✖️往復と長めなので、ゆったりとした流れの中、マングローブを眺め、オールで漕ぐ水の音を聞きながら、癒しの時間を過ごすことができました。トレッキングも、小1と小3の子どもたちを先頭にガイドさんがしっかりと見てくださり、珍しい木などの説明や、その他の質問にもしっかりと答えてくださり勉強になりました。3月末でまだ肌寒かったのですが、みんなで滝壺で泳いだことも楽しかったです。(ガイドさんも寒い中一緒に入ってくださり、驚きました!)お弁当の内容は、特大おにぎり2つ(梅と昆布)、唐揚げ、茹で卵、お漬物で、滝を見ながら(しぶきを浴びながらで寒かったですが)美味しかったです。トイレは、他社のピナイサーラツアーでも同様のようですが、携帯用トイレをガイドさんから頂き、持ち帰るという形でした。帰路は、再度トレッキングとカヤックで元来た道を戻ります。カヤックは、通常子どもは大人と一緒に乗りますが、往路の小1の息子(カヤック経験者)の技術を見て、特別に1人で乗せて頂き、黙々と漕いで楽しんでいる姿に成長を感じました。今後、得意なことはカヤックですと言わせたいと思いますw終了後に写真や動画も頂き、大満足のツアーでした。
ちなみに、ツアーで貸していただけるものは、シューズと防水リュックです。レインコートや(泳ぐのであれば)バスタオルを持参した方が良いです。

This experience took place in bad weather. Canoeing in the rain was enjoyable, especially since we were among the mangroves where the rain didn't bother us at all! It was very disappointing that we couldn't land on Barasu Island due to the bad weather, but the cave exploration in such challenging conditions was thrilling, and I'm glad I participated. I also visited a tourist limestone cave in Ishigaki, but it was completely different from this experience. If you're coming to Iriomote, I highly recommend immersing yourself in nature. The guide was very kind and constantly checked on us throughout the experience. I would love to participate again when I come back to Iriomote.
今回は悪天候の中の体験でした。雨の中のカヌーでしたがマングローブの中だと雨も気にならずに十分楽しめました!悪天候のためバラス島に上陸出来なかったのはとても残念でしたが、それでも足元が悪い中の洞窟探検はスリル満点で参加して良かったです。観光用の鍾乳洞も石垣島で行きましたがそれとは全然別物でした。せっかく西表に来たなら自然いっぱいの体験をおすすめします。始終声をかけてくださりガイドさんもとても優しかったです。また西表に来た時は参加したいなと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
Thank you for joining the one-day tour! ^ ^ Unfortunately, due to the weather, landing on Barasu Island was difficult, but I hope you were able to experience the nature of Iriomote Island through the mangrove canoeing and limestone cave exploration. ^ ^ Please come back to Iriomote Island for a chance to land on Barasu Island again! I look forward to seeing you again!

This time, we were not blessed with good weather and couldn't see the starry sky, but we were lucky to encounter many precious creatures such as coconut crabs, owls, and habu snakes. Our guide, Teru, was very attentive and skilled at finding animals, making it easy for beginners to enjoy the experience. I honestly recommend this tour!
今回は天候に恵まれず、星空を見ることは出来なかったですが、運良くヤシガニやフクロウ、ハブなどの貴重な生き物と沢山出会うことができました。ガイドのてるさんの案内は丁寧で、生き物を見つけるのもとても上手だったので素人でも気軽に楽しむことができました。素直にオススメのツアーです!
Thank you for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
It was a Yashigani DAY! We were able to see many Ryukyu Scops Owls, and it was great that you could see a habu up close too!
Next is a chance to experience the starry sky again! Please come back!! We are always waiting for you on Iriomote Island!
