I went on a jungle tour! At first, I was a little scared, but it gradually became fun. There were many large trees on both sides of the path, and I could hear the sounds of birds and insects from somewhere. The jungle, where I didn't know what would come out, felt like a little adventure, and I was really excited.
ジャングルツアーに行ってきました!最初はちょっとこわかったけど、だんだん楽しくなってきました。道の両側に大きな木がたくさんあって、どこからか鳥の声や虫の音が聞こえてきました。何が出てくるか分からないジャングルはちょっと冒険みたいで、とってもワクワクしました。

When traveling from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart, we were treated to a shamisen performance. Unfortunately, the day we participated in the tour was cloudy, but the shallow and calm waters of Okinawa combined with the sound of the shamisen were very pleasant!
The free time on Yufu Island was just right, allowing us to leisurely stroll around. The Yaeyama soba we had at a restaurant near Uehara Port, which wasn't listed on Google Maps, was also exquisite!
Since we were staying in the Uehara area, it was great that they provided transportation to our hotel.
西表島から由布島へ、水牛車に乗って行くとき、三味線を演奏していただきました。ツアーに参加した日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、浅く穏やかな沖縄の海と三味線の音色がとても心地よかったです!
由布島の自由時間もちょうど良く、のんびり散策することができました!
上原港近くの、Googleマップに載っていないお店で食べた八重山そばも絶品でした!
上原地区に滞在していたので、ホテルまで送迎していただけたのもよかったです。

We participated as a family, including our 5-year-old child, at the end of the year. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, and we couldn't see the stars, but the guide was very kind to the children, and we had a wonderful experience. Our child was happy and said that even though we didn't see the coconut crab, it was fun to see various other creatures.
年末に5歳子供を含めて家族で参加しました。
あいにくの天気で星空は見えませんでしたが、ガイドのお兄さんも子供に優しく接してくれ、最高の体験ができました。
子供も、ヤシガニは見えなかったけど色んな生き物が見れて楽しかったと喜んでいました。
天気次第では星空が見えなかったりするので予めご認識した上での参加ををおすすめします。
Thank you for participating! Although it was a night when the stars were hard to see, I am very happy to hear that it still became a memorable time for you. Spending a night imagining the stars hidden behind the clouds allows you to feel the unique tranquility and warmth of Iriomote Island. I hope that your moments in the night nature remain as cherished memories of your trip. Let's gaze at a sky full of stars together again someday.

In late December, I participated in a day trip from Ishigaki Island for a mangrove forest canoeing and buffalo cart tour on Yubu Island.
On the day of the trip, due to rough seas, the Uehara route was canceled, so we took the 7:30 ferry to Ohara Port and used the ferry company's bus to get to Uehara Port. (I heard that cancellations are common during this time of year.)
In the morning, we experienced canoeing in the mangrove forest. The strong winds made paddling difficult, but it felt like a jungle adventure, and it was a truly valuable experience.
For lunch, we went to a restaurant recommended by our guide and filled our stomachs with curry fried rice.
In the afternoon, we headed to Yubu Island. Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, we enjoyed a performance of the sanshin (a traditional Okinawan instrument) while riding in the buffalo cart. On Yubu Island, we also had the opportunity to interact with the water buffalo, which was very satisfying.
Finally, we were taken back to Ohara Port. We participated as a family with two toddlers, but we thoroughly enjoyed the great nature of Iriomote Island.
Thank you to all the staff at pipi!
12月下旬、石垣島から日帰りでマングローブ林カヌー&由布島水牛車ツアーに参加しました。
当日は時化のため、上原航路は欠航、7:30の便で大原港へ向かい、上原港まではフェリー会社のバスを利用しました。(この時期は欠航になることが多いそう。)
午前中はマングローブ林カヌー体験でした。風が強く漕ぐのが大変でしたがジャングル探検感覚で大変貴重な経験ができました。
お昼はガイドの方に教えていただいたお店へ。カレーチャーハン?でお腹を満たしました。
午後は由布島へ。あいにくの曇り空でしたが水牛車の中では三線の演奏もあり楽しめました。由布島の中では水牛に触って楽しめる体験もでき、大満足でした。
最後は大原港へ送迎していただきました。

In the morning, I experienced canoeing! The wind was strong, making it difficult to paddle, but the staff helped me out, which was a great relief. I also had my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children with me, and they had a lot of fun. We were able to see the mangroves up close, which made for a wonderful experience. I learned that there are various types of mangroves and gained insights into the different adaptations they have for survival.
In the afternoon, we rode water buffalo to Yubu Island. It was my first time being pulled by a water buffalo, and I was moved by their earnestness. The buffalo we had on the way there and back were different, each with their own unique personalities and ways of pulling, which was quite interesting. The sanshin music and singing were also lovely.
Thank you for the transportation service. It was a truly great experience.
午前はカヌー体験しました!風が強く、漕ぐのが大変でしたが、スタッフの方にお手伝いいただき、助かりました。また、3歳と5歳の子どもがいましたが、とっても楽しんでいました。マングローブを間近に見ることができ、とてもいい体験になりました。マングローブも色々な種類があるのですね。生きるための様々な工夫も勉強になりました。
午後は水牛に乗り由布島へ。水牛に初めて引っ張ってもらい、健気な姿に感動しました。行きと帰りで違う子でしたが、性格もそれぞれ違く、引き方もそれぞれ違く、面白かったです。三線と歌も素敵でした。
送迎もありがとうございました。

I participated with my child. The guide and the other participants were friendly and kind, creating a great atmosphere throughout the tour. Everyone was skilled at spotting things, and we were able to see many creatures, including the coconut crab that we wanted to see. My child was wide-eyed and very curious while watching. At one point, we emerged into the pitch-black sea, and I was amazed to see so many stars in the sky; it was truly moving.
It was a wonderful experience. My child is a bit timid, so I hesitated to sign up until the day of the tour, but I'm really glad I decided to participate.
子供と参加しました。

みなさん見つけるのが上手で、虫や見たかったヤシガニなどたくさんの生きものを見ることができました。子供も目を輝かせて興味津々で見ていました。途中真っ暗な海に出たと思ったら空にびっくりするぐらいたくさんの星がでていて感動しました。

I experienced winter activities in the mangroves of Iriomote Island. It was a clear day, with a pleasant breeze and no heat, making it very comfortable weather!
The atmosphere in the mangroves was quiet and calming, and it felt like time was flowing slowly, which allowed me to relax a lot. I thought to myself, "Isn't this the best time of year?"
Spending time leisurely in nature became one of the most memorable moments of my trip!

This time, I booked a tour for mangrove canoeing and a visit to Yufu Island, and I had a really enjoyable time. Paddling through the mangrove forest felt wonderful and was also quite mystical. I was able to see water buffalo up close, which was very satisfying!!
Additionally, our tour guide, "Macchan," was a kind person of the same generation, which made the experience even better! We were able to share various personal stories, which enhanced our enjoyment of the tour. For lunch, he recommended several dishes, and I was thrilled to be able to try "squid ink yakisoba, soki soba, gulkun burger, coffee, and pineapple cake."
I highly recommend this tour, so if you're considering it, definitely go for it!!
今回はマングローブカヌーと、由布島観光のツアーを申し込み、とても楽しい時間でした。
マングローブの森の中をカヌーで進んでゆくのはとても気持ちが良く、また神秘的でもありました。

また、ツアーガイドの「まっちゃん」が同世代で優しい人柄で最高でした!
お互いの身の上話も色々とできて、より一層ツアーを楽しめました。
ランチもいろいろ教えてくださり、「イカスミ焼きそば、ソーキそば、グルクンバーガー、コーヒーにパイナップルケーキ」とたくさん食べることができて嬉しかったです。

I was hoping to go snorkeling, but due to bad weather, it was changed. What a shame.
In the morning, I went on a mangrove canoe tour guided by Matsushita, also known as Macchan. We paddled up the river with mangroves on both sides. The current was gentle, and while listening to explanations about the island, we smoothly made our way forward, enjoying the magnificent nature. Before turning back, we landed on the shore to see some plants and a waterfall. On the way back, we relaxed and arrived at the estuary without having to paddle.
After a lunch break, in the afternoon, we went canyoning guided by Shogo. We walked over rocky areas, jumped in about three times, and slid down the stream. At the waterfall, we enjoyed being hit by the flow, going behind it, and fully experiencing the great outdoors! When climbing the rocks or jumping into the river, the guides carefully showed us where to place our feet, allowing us to play safely.
Canoeing and canyoning may seem difficult, but the guides pay close attention and teach you, so there were no injuries, and it's fine even for beginners. I think even elementary school students can do it. Since we came all the way to Iriomote Island, I believe it's better to leave it to the guides to fully enjoy the island's nature and play safely, plus they teach you various things about the island, which is very helpful.
This time it was winter, so unfortunately the weather wasn't great, but I was very satisfied. Especially canyoning is definitely worth doing at least once!
Also, they provide wetsuits, so it wasn't cold, and we could use the shower after the experience. We got to take a lot of photos as well. I was a bit anxious since it was an unfamiliar place and I was meeting the guides for the first time, but everything turned out to be great!
シュノーケリングを希望していましたが、荒天のため変更になってしまいました。残念。
午前中はまっちゃんこと松下さんのガイドの元、マングローブカヌーでした。マングローブを両サイドに見ながら、川を上っていきます。流れも穏やかで、島の説明を聞き、雄大な自然を見ながら、スイスイ進んでいきます。折り返し前に陸地に上陸し、植物を見たり、滝を見たり。帰りは漕がなくてものんびりしながら河口につきました。
お昼休憩を挟んで、午後は翔吾さんガイドの元、キャニオニング。岩場を歩いて、途中3回ほど飛び込みをしたり、沢を滑り降りたりしました。滝では、流れに打たれたり、裏側へ回ったり、大自然を満喫しました!岩場を登る時や川に飛び込む時も、足の置き場まで丁寧に教えてくださり、安全に遊べました。
カヌーもキャニオニングも難しそうに感じますが、ガイドさんが細かく見てくれ、教えてくださるので、怪我もないですし、初めてでも大丈夫です。小学生でも大丈夫だと思いました。
せっかく西表島に来るからには、島の自然を満喫でき、楽しく安全に遊べるよう、ガイドさんにお任せしたほうがいいと思いますし、島の色んなことも教えてもらえるので、とても助かります。
今回は冬だったので、あいにくの天気でしたが、大満足でした。特にキャニオニングは一度やる価値有りです!
あと、ウエットスーツは貸してもらえるので寒くはないですし、体験後シャワーも使えました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。なんとなく、始まるまでは知らない土地だし、ガイドさんも初めて会うので不安でしたが、色々ハズレなし感でした。
You can participate in the tour hands-free, and a day trip to Ishigaki Island is definitely doable. However, it seems that the ferry from Ishigaki Island to Uehara Port often gets canceled during the
ツアーは手ぶらで参加でき、石垣島日帰りも余裕でできます。ただ、石垣島から上原港へのフェリーは冬場よく欠航するらしいので、移動のことは事前に調べておいたほうがいいと思います。

The Yaeyama Islands in December have relatively few tourists, making it a hidden gem season where you can enjoy a relaxed experience away from the crowds! Early December typically has relatively high temperatures, so just bringing a short-sleeved shirt and a light jacket is usually sufficient, allowing for comfortable winter days!
During the summer tourist season, visitors tend to concentrate, and ferries from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island can become fully booked, leading to difficulties in securing reservations for desired departures or long waiting times. In contrast, December offers more flexibility for travel and activities, making it a great time for family trips where you can easily plan your itinerary without feeling rushed!
On Iriomote Island, we had a kayaking experience in one of Japan's largest mangrove forests! The course follows a gentle river, making it suitable for beginners and families with children! In December, there are days when the north wind blows strongly, and during those times, you may need more strength to paddle than you might expect! However, while kayaking, you wear a life jacket and are constantly moving, so you hardly feel the cold! The guide provides support based on the weather and the participants' physical condition, so you can join with peace of mind! If you find it physically challenging and can’t paddle anymore, the guide will tow you! By the way, this time, Shogo from Pipi Iriomote Island was our guide, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable kayaking tour!
Additionally, the weather on Iriomote Island can change rapidly, and the weather forecast may not always be reliable! It’s recommended to bring rain gear, such as a raincoat, in case of sudden rain! Even with a little rain, enjoying the natural atmosphere is one of the unique charms of Iriomote Island!
After the kayaking experience, we took a lunch break and then traveled by bus to ride a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island! It’s a wonderful experience to cross the sea while listening to the sound of the sanshin! This winter tour of Iriomote Island is highly recommended for families who want to avoid crowds and cherish their time in nature!
Please note that the meeting point for this tour is Uehara Port. In December, due to strong winds, ferries to Uehara Port may be canceled, and in such cases, you will need to take a local bus for about an hour to reach Uehara Port after arriving at Ohara Port. You will need to use the ferry departing from Ishigaki Port at 7:30 AM, so for those who are not early risers or are traveling with small children, an overnight stay on Iriomote Island is recommended!
12月の八重山諸島は観光客が比較的少なく、混雑を避けてゆったりと過ごせる穴場シーズン!12月上旬は気温も比較的高く、半袖に薄手の羽織ものを1枚用意する程度でちょうど良い日が多いため、冬でも快適に過ごせます!
夏の観光シーズンは観光客が集中し、石垣島から西表島へ向かうフェリーが満席となり、希望する便の予約が取れない場合や長時間の待ち時間が発生することもあります。その点、12月は移動や現地での行動に比較的余裕があり、家族旅行でも落ち着いて旅程を組みやすい時期かと思います!
西表島では、日本最大級のマングローブ林でカヤック体験を行いました!穏やかな川を進むコースのため、初心者の方やお子様連れの方にもおすすめです!12月は北風が強く吹く日もあり、その際は想像以上にカヤックを漕ぐ力が必要となる場合があります!体験中はライフジャケットを着用し、常に身体を動かしているため、寒さを感じることはほとんどありませんでした!天候や参加される方の体力に応じて、ガイドさんがサポートしてくれますので、安心して参加ができます!体力的にきつくなってしまい漕げなくなってしまった場合はガイドさんが牽引してくれるそうです!ちなみに今回はpipi西表島のパワー担当勝吾さんがガイドをしてくれてとても楽しいカヤックツアーになりました!
また、西表島は天候が変わりやすく、天気予報が当てにならない場合もあります!急な雨に備え、レインウェアなどの雨具の持参をおすすめします!多少の雨でも自然の雰囲気を楽しめるのが、西表島ならではの魅力かと思います!
カヤック体験後は、お昼休憩後、バスで移動して水牛車に乗って由布島へ!三線の音色を聞きながら海を渡る素敵な体験ができます!混雑を避け、自然と向き合う時間を大切にしたい家族におすすめの、冬ならではの西表島ツアーでした!
尚、こちらのツアーの集合場所は上原港です。12月は強風の影響で上原港行きフェリーが欠航となる場合があり、その際は大原港到着後、路線バスで約1時間移動して上原港へ向かいます。石垣港7:30発のフェリー利用が必要となるため、早起きが苦手な方や小さなお子様連れの方は、西表島での前泊をおすすめします!
Kayaking uses more physical strength than you might expect, so I recommend participating when you're in good health!
カヤックは想像以上に体力を使いますので、体調がいい状態で参加されることをおすすめします!
Thank you very much for your very polite and wonderful review! I truly appreciate you taking the time to write such detailed feedback. December in Iriomote Island is a time when you can enjoy nature peacefully, and I'm glad to hear that your whole family was able to experience it comfortably. It was impressive to see everyone working together to paddle through the wind while kayaking. I'm delighted that you were able to enjoy nature up close.

This experience is enjoyable and safe for everyone, from elementary school students to adults, making it perfect for families!
On Iriomote Island, we had a kayaking experience around a river that features one of Japan's largest mangrove forests! The calm river flows gently through the mangroves, allowing even beginners to participate without difficulty. However, the river leading to the mangrove forest is open, so depending on the wind speed, it can be more physically demanding than expected. A guide accompanies you and provides easy-to-understand explanations about the mangrove ecosystem and its inhabitants, making it a great opportunity for nature learning!
After the kayaking experience in the morning, we took a lunch break before riding a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island! Crossing the sea while listening to the sound of the sanshin (a traditional Okinawan musical instrument) is a truly memorable experience! On the island, you can stroll through a subtropical botanical garden and leisurely enjoy the tropical flowers and nature.
This tour is perfect for family trips, allowing you to enjoy both "experience" and "relaxation" all at once!
小学生から大人の方まで、ご家族そろって安心して楽しめる内容です!
西表島では、日本最大級のマングローブ林が広がる川周辺でカヤック体験を行いました!マングローブ林の中は穏やかな流れの川をゆっくり進むため、初めての方でも無理なくご参加いただけますが、マングローブ林に行く途中にある川は遮るものがないため風速次第では想像以上に体力をつかいます…。ガイドさんが同行し、マングローブの仕組みや生き物について分かりやすく解説するため、自然学習の機会としてもいいと思います!
午前中にカヤック体験をした後は、各自でお昼休憩をとったあとに水牛車に乗って由布島へ!三線の音色を聞きながら海を渡る時間は、とっても思い出深い体験となります!島内では亜熱帯植物園を散策し、南国の花々や自然をゆったりと楽しめます!
「体験」と「癒し」を一度に味わえる、家族旅行に最適なツアーです!
Iriomote Island has a warm climate, so I think it's just right to wear a short-sleeved shirt over your swimsuit during the experience! It might be a little chilly at first, but since you'll be moving
西表島は温暖な気候なので体験中は水着の上に半袖を着るくらいでちょうどいいかと思います!最初は少し肌寒いかもしれませんがカヤックで身体を動かすので問題ないと思います!
Thank you for your detailed feedback! I'm very glad to hear that your whole family was able to enjoy the nature of Iriomote Island. During the mangrove kayaking, it was impressive to see everyone working together to move forward even in the wind. I'm especially pleased that you developed an interest in the connections within nature through the explanations.

Canoeing was my first experience, but it was more stable than I expected, allowing me to enjoy it without any anxiety. On the way to the mangrove forest, we faced a strong wind while crossing a large river, which made it a bit challenging to progress, but the view we reached was breathtaking. As we moved through the mangrove tunnel, I was able to enjoy a special scenery that can only be seen from a canoe, making it a very satisfying tour.
I rented a car at Ohara Port and consulted in advance about participating in the afternoon and being able to return on the last ferry. They confirmed it was fine, so I joined the tour, but I decided on my own to skip the shower before heading back. It was quite thrilling in various ways, but I had a lot of fun!
カヌーは初めての体験でしたが、思ったより安定感があり不安なく楽しむことができました。
マングローブの林を目指す途中、大きな川を渡る場面では風が強くてなかなか進まず少し苦戦しましたが、辿り着いた景色は圧巻でした。マングローブのトンネルを進み、カヌーからでしか見ることのできない特別な景色を楽しむことができてとても満足できるツアーでした。
大原港でレンタカーを借り、午後から参加して最終のフェリーで帰れるか事前に相談、大丈夫ということで参加しましたが、自己判断でシャワーを浴びずに帰ることにしました。
いろいろスリル満点となりましたが、楽しかったです!

It was a windy day, but I was guided on a special course that suited the conditions, and I had a great time. The guide also provided a thorough explanation about the mangroves, allowing me to truly experience the unique nature of Iriomote Island. I felt reassured by their flexibility in responding to the weather, and I'm really glad I participated.
風が強い日でしたが、状況に合わせて特別なコースを案内していただき、とても楽しめました。
ガイドさんがマングローブについても丁寧に説明してくださり、西表島ならではの自然をしっかり感じることができました。
天候に柔軟に対応してもらえて安心感もあり、参加して本当によかったです。

Since it was the off-season, we were the only group on the tour. Although we were worried about the weather, it started to clear up around the time the tour began. We had a great time with our guide, Eri, who taught us many things. We learned a lot about the plants, the island, and the animals, making it a very enjoyable experience! We also took many photos, creating wonderful memories! Thank you very much!
オフシーズンということもあり、私たち1組だけのツアーとなりました。天候の心配もありましたがツアー開始の頃から晴れ始めました。
ツアーで付き添ってくださったエリさんに、たくさんのことを教えてもらいながら、時間を過ごせました。
植物のことや島のこと、動物のことなど、たくさんのことが知れて、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました!

I had originally signed up for snorkeling, but due to weather reasons, it was changed to canoeing the day before. I participated with a sense of resignation, but in the end, I had a wonderful first-time experience. On the day of the activity, we had calm, sunny weather and high tide, which were great conditions. There were only four of us, so we had two canoes and were able to leisurely enjoy the mangrove forest. Riding the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island was great, and the island had many interesting sights to see. Our guide also pointed out things like the Ryukyu wild boar and the crested serpent eagle along the way, and shared stories about life on the island, making the travel time very meaningful.
シュノーケル希望で申し込んでいた所、天候理由で前日にカヌーに変更になりました。仕方ないか〜の気持ちで参加したのですが、結果、初めての体験が出来てとても楽しめました。当日は無風の晴天、さらに満潮という好条件で、人数も4人で2艇、ゆっくりとマングローブの森を満喫できました。由布島も水牛車に乗ることももちろん、島内も見どころがあって良かったです。ガイドさんも道中に琉球いのししやカンムリワシなどを見つけて教えてくれたり、島での生活のことを話してくれたりして、移動時間も有意義に過ごせました。
Even if you don't fall out of the canoe, your lower body will get wet, but you can borrow a shower, so there's no need to worry.
カヌーは落ちなくても下半身は濡れますが、シャワーも借りられるので安心です。

We had a great time with a friendly guide and about six participants, which was just the right size for the experience. We were able to see coconut crabs and hermit crabs! Even if you're not comfortable with animals or insects, you can still enjoy it without having to touch them. If you stay on Iriomote Island, I highly recommend the night tour.
気さくなガイドさん1人に参加者も6名程度?でちょうどよい規模感で楽しめました。
ヤシガニやヤドカリなど見ることができました!動物や虫が苦手でも触ったりすらわけじゃないので楽しめると思います。
西表島に宿泊したらナイトツアーがおすすめです。
Since there are many areas where you'll be in contact with plants, we recommend participating in long sleeves and long pants.

It was a wonderful tour. We gathered at Uehara Port and after about 40 minutes, we arrived at the water buffalo riding area, and then we headed to Yufu Island. There were many water buffaloes. We had just under an hour of free time here, which was enough to explore. After that, we returned to Uehara Port for lunch. Our guide recommended a delicious restaurant. We went into a pork cutlet place and were very satisfied. (Meals are not included.) After that, we went on the main mangrove canoe tour. The guide taught us how to paddle, and we were off to challenge ourselves. Time flew by in no time. Even as a beginner, I was able to paddle easily. Your lower body will get wet before you start paddling, so a change of clothes is necessary. The guide takes photos with the mangroves, so there's no need to bring a smartphone or camera. The guides were all very nice people.
素晴らしいツアーでした。上原港集合で約40分で水牛乗り場へ。そしては由布島へ。水牛が沢山いました。ここで1時間弱の自由時間。十分回れました。そして再び上原港へ。そこでランチ。美味しいお店をガイドさんから紹介されました。豚カツのお店に入り、大満足。(食事は込みではありません。)その後メインのマングローブカヌーツアーへ。ガイドさんから漕ぎ方を教わり、いざチャレンジ。あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。初心者の私でも簡単に漕ぐ事ができました。下半身は漕ぐ前から濡れますので、着替えは必要です。マングローブと一緒にガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれるので、スマートフォンや、カメラ持ち込み不要です。ガイドさんは皆さんとっても良い人達でした。
Be sure to bring a change of clothes, water, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
是非着替えと水、サングラスと日焼け止めを忘れずに。

It was held under a cloudy sky with little moonlight, but the guide's explanations were very kind, making it a fun time even for children. Walking through the pitch-black thicket might feel scary compared to the well-lit streets for some people. They provide non-slip shoes and flashlights for rent.
月明かりの少ない曇空での開催でしたが、ガイドさんの解説がとても優しく、子供でも楽しい時間を過ごせます。真っ暗な藪の中を歩くのは灯りのある街と比べて、怖いを感じる方もいるかもしれません。滑りにくい靴と懐中電灯は貸出してくれます。
Even if you can't see the coconut crabs, I recommend this place for those who feel like they want to come back again.
ヤシガニなどを見れなくてもまた来ようと感じられる方にお勧めです。

Since Pipi often conducts tours with relatively large groups, I was a bit apprehensive about potential waiting times, and I heard mixed reviews about it. However, to share the outcome, it turned out to be an amazing tour!
Indeed, there were some waiting times (like during equipment collection and waiting for showers), but I considered those small breaks during the tour, which I actually appreciated! Our guide, Shogo, named our group "Shogo Team," which allowed us to enjoy the experience together with the other participants.
The kayaking experience was a bit challenging due to the weather and strong winds, but we were taken to a field where we could fully appreciate Iriomote Island. Since we were going to get wet anyway, the rain didn't bother me at all, and I had a great time!
Iriomote is quite large, so during our car rides, Shogo shared interesting facts about the island, mixing in humor, which made for a very enjoyable time! He also recommended some great places to eat!
The place where we had lunch seemed to have a proprietor who wasn't fond of media or reviews, so I won’t mention the name, but it was truly a delicious local diner. If you go, I highly recommend asking Shogo for directions!
The timing for visiting Yubu Island was just right, allowing us to explore without rushing or feeling like we had too much time on our hands. The cakes, coffee, and ice cream at Yubu Island Tea House were exceptional, so I definitely recommend trying them!
It seems that the timing for riding the water buffalo cart can vary greatly depending on the buffalo, but the one we had was just right—not too fast and not too slow! Listening to the sanshin was a nice touch that felt very Okinawan!
This tour might not be suitable for those who prefer smaller groups, but I was very satisfied! Thank you!
比較的多い人数でツアー催行をするpipiさんなので待ち時間が発生したりと、評判も良い悪い半々くらいなのでどうかなあ〜と思いながらの参加でしたが....結果からお伝えするとすっごくいいツアーでした!
たしかに待ち時間が発生(道具の回収中やシャワーの順番待ち等)しましたが、ツアー中の小休憩と思えばむしろ私にはありがたい時間でした!
ガイドさんのショウゴさんが「ショウゴチーム」と名付けてくれたので参加者の方々と一緒に楽しめることが出来ました!
カヤック体験は天候が悪め、風が強めでしたが西表をめいいっぱい感じれるフィールドに連れて行って貰えて、どうせ濡れるので雨は全く気にならず楽しめました!
西表は大きいので車での移動中も西表の豆知識を笑いと織り交ぜながら話してくれるのでとっても楽しい時間でした!
お勧めのご飯屋さんも教えてくれます!
お昼ご飯を食べたところは店主さんがメディアや口コミが好きじゃないみたいなのであえて店名は伏せますが本当に美味しい島の定食屋さんだったので是非行かれる方はショウゴさんに聞いて伺って見てほしいです!
由布島も丁度いい時間設定なので、急いで回ることもなく、時間を持て余すのこともなく由布島を観光できました!
由布島茶屋さんのケーキ、由布島コーヒー、アイスは絶品なので是非食べて欲しいです!
水牛さんによって水牛車の乗車時間が大きくズレる見たいですが今回の水牛さんは早すぎず遅すぎずナイスな水牛さんでした!三線を聞けるのも沖縄らしくて良きでした!
少人数を好む人には向いてないかもしれませんが私は満足でした!
ありがとうございました!
Thank you so much for your kind words in your review! I'm truly encouraged to hear that you enjoyed the sense of unity with the "Shogo Team" even among a large group tour. It's wonderful to know that you positively embraced the dynamic environment of Iriomote Island, even in rainy and windy conditions. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the conversations during the journey and fully experience the day, including Yubu Island and the water buffalo cart ride. I'm also happy to hear that you liked the recommended restaurant. We aim to create tours that make even those who prefer smaller groups feel that it was worth participating, and we will continue to strive for safe and enjoyable experiences. Please come back to Iriomote Island again soon!

The activities on Iriomote Island were an experience where I could fully feel the energy of nature. Canoeing on the Urauchi River was more challenging than I had imagined, as I struggled against the wind and waves while paddling hard. However, thanks to our guide, Shogo, who provided precise advice, and the shallow waters of the river, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
After two hours of canoeing, we were introduced to a local dining spot near Uehara Port, which was also great. In the afternoon, the sightseeing at Yubu Island was soothing, with beautiful views from the water buffalo and cart, allowing us to fully enjoy the nature of Iriomote Island.
Even during the car rides, the interesting stories about the unique plants, animals, and customs of Iriomote Island made the experience memorable, and I found myself recalling them in various moments throughout our stay. I heard a story about hunting boars using natural traps, and that evening, I enjoyed delicious boar sashimi at an izakaya that you can't find in Tokyo!
My husband and I are already discussing what we should do next time we come. I would like to challenge myself with a longer trekking experience next time. If that happens, I hope to rely on you again, Pipi!
西表島でのアクティビティは大自然のエネルギーを身体いっぱい感じる体験でした。
浦内川でのカヌーは想像していたより、風や波と格闘しながら必死に漕ぎましたが、ガイドの勝吾さんの的確なアドバイスや、川も浅いので安心して楽しめました。
2時間カヌー、その後上原港近くではローカルな食事処を紹介いただきそれもよかったです。午後の由布島観光は水牛や牛車からの景色に癒され西表島の自然を満喫しました。
移動の車中も貴重な西表島の動植物や慣習などのお話が面白く、滞在中色んな場面で思い出していました。自然の罠だけで猪狩りをする話を聞き、その晩は居酒屋さんで東京では食べられない猪のタタキを美味しくいただきました!!
次来たら何しようと主人と既に話しています。次回は時間長めのトレッキングなどもチャレンジしたいです。その際はまたpipiさん、よろしくお願いします!!
Please make sure to get enough sleep before participating. The local lunch was paid for in cash.
睡眠よく摂って参加してください。
ローカルのランチは現金でお支払いでした。
Thank you for your heartfelt review! I'm truly glad to hear that you were able to fully experience the great nature of Iriomote Island with the canoeing on the Urauchi River, and that you enjoyed the authentic paddling experience with the support of our staff, feeling safe and secure. After a fulfilling two hours on the water, it was wonderful to hear that you savored the island's flavors at a local diner near Uehara Port, and that you had a relaxing sightseeing experience in the afternoon at Yubu Island, enjoying the stunning views from the water buffalo cart. It sounds like it was the perfect day! The stories about the local flora and fauna and the tradition of boar hunting shared during the car ride became the highlight of your trip, and our entire staff was thrilled to hear that it led to the episode of enjoying boar sashimi that night.

I have been interested in mangroves for a while, so I decided to participate in this tour. It was just as I expected, and I was able to see the beautiful nature and mangroves. We could explore at a leisurely pace, and I was also able to see a white heron walking, which was very soothing. On the day of the tour, the wind was strong, and we were only able to go by canoe. The tour guide provided thorough explanations, and although there were times when it was a bit challenging due to the strong wind, they supported us when things didn't go smoothly. We participated as a pair, and along the way, we were able to take photos and videos in the mangroves, which created great memories that we often look back on. Additionally, even when participating by canoe, water came in, so my lower body got quite wet. I felt it was necessary to wear clothes that could get wet, like a swimsuit, and to bring a change of clothes.
以前よりマングローブに興味があり、参加しました。期待通りの大自然、マングローブを見ることができました。ゆっくりと探検することができ、途中シロサギが歩く姿も見ることができ癒されました。当日は風が強く、カヌーのみの案内でした。ツアーガイドさんも丁寧に説明していただきましたし、ツアー中風が強く少し大変な時もありましたが、うまくいかないときはフォローしてくれました。2人で参加したのですが、途中、マングローブの中で写真や動画も撮っていただき、いい思い出になり見返したりしています。また、カヌーで参加の場合でも水が入ってくるので、下半身はけっこう濡れました。水着等濡れていい服で参加の上、着替えも必要と感じました。
If you lack confidence in your physical strength, I think canoeing is recommended!
体力に自信のない方はカヌーがおすすめかと思います!

Today, the ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island was canceled due to rough seas caused by high waves, and there were no departures to Uehara Port. The day before, I received a call from the operating company, pipi, informing me of this.
As a result, I purchased a ticket for the 7:30 ferry to Uehara Port and took a substitute bus provided by the ferry company via Ohara Port. This part was a bit complicated. The entire journey took about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and I arrived at Uehara Port at 9:00. The morning was sunny, but it was mostly cloudy with occasional sunshine.
From there, I participated in a two-person canoe activity in the morning, and the water was cold. The instructor, Naoki, who had an afro, guided us calmly through the course, which was quite soothing. We paddled from the river mouth into increasingly narrow mangrove forests. As it was my first time canoeing, my girlfriend and I struggled to synchronize our movements and ended up going in circles.
For lunch, it took about 1.5 hours. Although it was the off-season, there were about five restaurants open. We went to Island Garden Mine. I chose squid ink yakisoba and squid ink fried rice, which were excellent. My blackened teeth looked quite stylish.
On the way from Uehara Port to Yufu Island, I heard Naoki mention that he had once seen an Iriomote wildcat on this road, so I was carefully looking along the roadside. Well, I didn’t see any!!
Finally, the water buffalo cart ride to Yufu Island, with the magnificent nature of Iriomote Island in the background, was a must-see. At first, I thought it might be boring, but the sight of the water buffalo crossing the sea was quite charming and lovely. I actually preferred Yufu Island over the canoeing experience. A one-hour stroll around Yufu Island was just right.
On the way back, I was able to catch the 16:30 ferry to Ishigaki Island.
At 35 years old, I felt a bit fatigued but was very satisfied. Initially, I considered a canoeing and snorkeling tour, but I think this was the better choice.
本日は石垣島から西表島へ渡るフェリーが海上が大波によるしけのため、上原港行きが出航なしとなる。前日この話は運営会社pipiから電話が来ました。
そのため、0730の上原港行きのチケットを購入し、大原港経由でフェリー会社からの代替バスで行きました。ここが少し難解でした。全体で1時間30分程度かかり0900上原港へ到着。朝は晴れていたが基本曇り時々晴れ。
そこから、午前中は2人乗りカヌーのアクティビティへ、水は冷たい。インストラクターはアフロの直くん、落ち着いた語り口調でコースを回り、癒されました。河口からどんどん細いマングローブ林へ。初めてのカヌーは彼女となかなか息が会わず右往左往。
お昼は、1.5hr程度で。シーズンオフですが、お店は五件程度ありました。島ガーデン嶺へ。イカスミヤキソバ、イカスミチャーハンを選んで◎。黒くなった歯は、キマッテル。
上原港から由布島に行く間も、直くんの話で、この道で1度だけイリオモテヤマネコを見たと言う話を聞いて、路肩をくまなく見てました。まぁ、いない!!
最後に由布島は、雄大な西表島の自然をバックに由布島に向けて歩く水牛車は、必見でした。最初は退屈かなと思いましたが、海を渡る水牛はなかなか風情がありステキでした。カヌーより由布島の方が私は好きでした。由布島は、1時間程度散策でちょうどよいです。
帰りは1630の石垣島行きフェリーに乗れました。
35歳ですが少し疲労度もありながら、大満足でした。最初は、カヌー&シュノーケリングツアーも考えましたが、こっちでよかったかな。

Two women participated in the activity. In the morning, we went kayaking as part of a group with three other pairs, but all the other participants were men. Since it was a windy day, we were struggling to keep up and honestly didn't have the leisure to enjoy the scenery. We worked hard because we didn't want to inconvenience the other participants.
I think it's a bit tough for women who aren't confident in their strength on windy days. However, if you're participating as a couple, I don't think it would be a problem.
I thought the staff's response was very good! Also, in the afternoon, we had sightseeing planned, so the schedule was just right and not too tiring!
女性2人で参加させてもらいました。午前中のカヤックは他の3組と1つのグループになって行動しましたが、私たち以外は全組男性がいて、また風が強い日ということもあり、ついていくのに必死で正直景色を楽しむ余裕はありませんでした。他の参加者に迷惑をかけたくないので頑張りました。
風が強い日は力に自信のない女性はちょっと厳しいと思います。カップルで参加なら問題ないと思います。
スタッフの方々の対応はとても良かったと思います!
また、午後は観光なので疲れ過ぎず丁度いいスケジュールだと思います!
Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your honest feedback. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the strong winds during kayaking, which made it difficult for you to fully enjoy the scenery. We will work on improving the pace and course selection to ensure that everyone can have a good time, regardless of their strength. Thank you for your effort in paddling even under those conditions.
I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the overall schedule, including the afternoon sightseeing. Your kind words about our staff are also encouraging.
I hope you get to enjoy the beautiful and calm Iriomote Island on a nice day. When that time comes, we will strive to provide a safer and more comfortable tour experience so you can relax and enjoy nature even more.

この度はツアーへのご参加、そして率直なご感想をお寄せいただきありがとうございます。
風が強い中でのカヤックとなり、景色をゆっくり楽しむ余裕がなかったとのこと、配慮が足りずご負担をおかけしてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。力の有無に関わらず皆様が楽しんでいただけるよう、ペース配分やコース取りなど改善してまいります。そのような状況の中でも頑張って漕いでくださりありがとうございました。
午後の観光も含めて全体のスケジュールを楽しんでいただけたこと、大変嬉しく思います。またスタッフへの温かいお言葉も励みになります。
ぜひ天気の良い穏やかな西表島も楽しんでいただければ嬉しいです。その際はもっとリラックスして自然を楽しんでいただけるよう、より安全で心地よいツアー運営に努めてまいります。

It was my first time kayaking in the mangroves, but the instructor was very kind and cheerful, and provided a thorough explanation about Iriomote Island. There were several participants in the kayaking itself, and it seemed that everyone was satisfied.
マングローブカヌーは初めてでしたが、インストラクターさんがとても優しく明るい方で、西表島についてとても丁寧に説明していただきました。
カヌー自体の参加者も複数おりましたが、全員が満足していたように感じます。
Since you will get quite wet, as mentioned in the prior explanation, wearing a swimsuit is essential. Depending on the season, I think wearing long-sleeved clothes that are easy to get wet would also
結構濡れるので事前説明にもある通り水着は必須です。上の服も季節によっては長袖の濡れやすい服が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the mangrove canoe tour and for your warm words. We are thrilled to hear that you were able to enjoy your first canoe experience with peace of mind; it is a great encouragement for our instructor. We are also very happy to know that everyone who participated was satisfied. The nature of Iriomote Island changes its expression with each season, so we hope you will come back to visit us in another season. We sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again.
