All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

On my first trip to Iriomote Island, and since it was a day trip, I really wanted to visit as many places as possible in one day! I thought this tour was perfect for me.

During the mangrove tour, I was a bit anxious about trying SUP for the first time, but it was actually quite easy to control, and I had a blast!

The subsequent exploration of the limestone cave was not what I expected; I thought there would be well-maintained paths, but it felt like we were truly navigating through a natural cave. It was the most adventurous part of the day!

The last stop at Barasu Island was just as amazing as I had heard, with beautiful coral. It was an incredible day filled with surprises and emotions.

I think anyone who, like me, wants to enjoy Iriomote Island to the fullest will be satisfied.

初めての西表島旅行、しかも日帰りだったので、どうしても1日でたくさんの場所を回りたい！っという私にぴったりのツアーだと思い参加しました。
マングローブのツアーでは、初めてのSUPで少し不安だったのですが、コントロールも全然難しくなく思いっきり楽しめました！
その後の鍾乳洞探検は、てっきり整備された道が通っていると思っていたのですが、本当に自然のままの鍾乳洞を突破していくという感じで、1日の中で1番アドベンチャー感のあるツアーでした！
最後に行ったバラス島も噂通りのサンゴの島で、驚きで感動の1日ツアーでした。
私のように欲張りに西表島を楽しんでみたい方は満足できると思います。

I joined a tour because I really wanted to see the starry sky on Iriomote Island. I had heard that the weather forecast on the island was unreliable, so I was worried about whether we would actually be able to see the stars. However, on the night of the tour, the clouds cleared astonishingly, and we were able to see a truly star-filled sky. The location we were taken to was also amazing, allowing us to enjoy a 360° view, like a natural planetarium. This is definitely a recommended tour that will leave you in awe.

西表島の星空がどうしても見たくてツアーに参加しました。
天気予報があてにならない島だと聞いていたのでちゃんと星が見えるかどうか心配だったのですが、ツアー当日の夜は驚くほど雲が晴れ、文字通りの満点の星空を見ることができました。
案内された場所も最高で、360°、まさしく天然のプラネタリウムを満喫できました。
感動間違いなしのオススメのツアーです

The clarity of the water was incomparable to that of the Sea of Japan. I never expected to see corals and fish over 10 meters below from the boat. I felt that Barasu Island, which was formed by the influence of ocean currents, is truly a miraculous island. That day, due to the spring tide, we were able to see a larger Barasu Island than usual. The tour of the limestone caves and canoeing was impressive, thanks to the cheerful character of our guide. It was an island where you could directly feel the power of nature.

海の透明度が日本海とは比べものにはならなかったです。10メートル以上下のサンゴや魚が船の上から見えるなんて思ってなかったです。
バラス島もたまたま海流の影響でできるなんて本当に奇跡の島だと感じました。
その日は大潮ということもあり普段より大きなバラス島を見ることができました。鍾乳洞&カヌーのツアーはガイドさんの明るいキャラが印象的でした。自然のパワーを直に感じることができる島でした。

I had my first stand-up paddleboarding experience on the Jungle Cruise. Since it was my first time, I was a bit anxious, but the guide taught me carefully, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! I was glad to hear various explanations about Iriomote Island and the mangroves. I was also happy that we were able to take a lot of photos. The exploration of the limestone cave was truly enjoyable! I appreciated the guide's thoughtfulness as well.

Bara Island, known as the elusive island, seems to be quite rare, so I was very satisfied to be able to visit it this time. I really enjoyed my day on Iriomote Island! If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely like to request other tours! Thank you very much!

ジャングルクルーズでは初のsup 体験ができました。初めてなので少し不安もありましたが、ガイドの方が丁寧に教えてくれたので安心して楽しむことができました！
西表島のことやマングローブの説明など色々聞けてよかったです。
写真も沢山撮っていただけたのも嬉しかったです。
鍾乳洞も本当に探検という感じで楽しめました！ガイドさんの気遣いも感じられてよかったです表情にこにこ
幻の島バラス島はとっても珍しい島みたいなので今回行くことができて大満足です。
1日かけて西表島を本当に満喫できました！
また行くことがあれば是非他のツアーをお願いしたいです！
ありがとうございました

I participated in the night tour. Originally, I had planned for a jungle tour and stargazing, but I received a message from the guide before the tour, saying that due to the weather, we might not be able to see the stars. Instead, we ended up visiting two locations on the jungle tour. Although I couldn't see the stars I was looking forward to, I was able to see many creatures from Iriomote Island that you wouldn't typically see in the city, which was actually a nice surprise.

I was particularly worried about whether I would actually see the coconut crabs I had seen in the brochure, but as we entered the destination, several of them appeared up close, and I was overwhelmed by their impressive presence. The guide's stories were also interesting, making for a truly refreshing experience throughout the night.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have an extraordinary experience in the night jungle of Iriomote Island, not just for those who love creatures.

ナイトツアーに参加しました。
もともとジャングルツアーと星空観察の予定だったのですが、ツアー前にガイドの方から連絡があり、天候的に星空は見えないかも知れないとのことでジャングルツアーで2箇所を回ることになりました。
楽しみにしていた星は見られなかったのですが、代わりに都会ではまず見られない西表島の生き物をたくさん見れて、逆に良かったです。
特に、パンフレットで見たヤシガニが本当に出てくるか心配だったのですが、目的地に入って行くと何匹も間近に現れ、想像以上の迫力に圧倒されました。
ガイドの方のお話も面白く、本当に新鮮な体験の連続の一晩でした。
生き物好きの人に限らず、西表島の夜のジャングルで非日常的な体験をしてみたい人みんなにぜひオススメのツアーです。

During my visit to Iriomote Island, what surprised me the most was how close nature was. Just a short distance from the road, there were mangrove forests right there. The limestone caves were also about a 15-minute walk from the road. Coming from a more urban area, it was quite shocking. The guide also seemed to be in harmony with nature, which gave me a great sense of reassurance. I was very satisfied with the beautiful photos taken. Thank you very much.

今回訪れた西表島、まず驚いたのは自然の身近さです。道路から少し離れればマングローブ林がすぐにそこにありました。鍾乳洞も道路から徒歩15分くらいのところにありました。どちらかというと都会に住んでいるので、衝撃でした。ガイドさんも自然と共に過ごしている感じがして、すごく安心感がありました。写真も綺麗に撮っていただき大変満足してます。ありがとうごさいました。

The activities included snorkeling and mangrove canoeing. There were many fascinating creatures and uniquely shaped plants along the way, keeping things interesting. The shower room was clean and equipped with shampoo and body soap. I was very impressed that such facilities were available on Iriomote Island.

内容はシュノーケリング、マングローブカヌー。
道中に様々な生き物や不思議な形の植物など飽きさせない仕掛けが沢山でした。
清潔なシャワールーム。シャンプーボディーソープ付き。西表島でここまで設備が整っているとは非常に感心しました。

Driving through the countryside without streetlights from the bustling city, we explored the habitats of various creatures. On the coast, we spotted coconut crabs, and in Banna Park, birds like bats and owls were resting. The sounds of hermit crabs moving and retreating into their shells were enchanting. Watching the bats leap from tree to tree and listening to the hoots of the owls touched my heart. Looking up at the starry sky, I saw shooting stars and truly felt that I was glad to be here! Our guide worked hard to ensure we enjoyed our limited time to the fullest.

繁華街からクルマで街頭のない田舎道を走り抜けて、生き物たちの生息地をめぐります。
海岸にはヤシガニ、バンナ公園にはコウモリやフクロウなどの鳥たちが佇んでいます。
ヤドカリの移動する音、殻に閉じこもる音。
コウモリが木に飛び移る姿や、フクロウの鳴き声に耳を傾けると心に沁み入ってきます
星空を見上げると流れ星が流れ、心から来てよかったと思いました！
限られた滞在期間でできるだけ楽しんでもらうためにガイドさんが一所懸命案内してくれました。

The chirping of birds colors the jungle river. When I listened closely to the flapping of their wings and closed my eyes, I could feel a nature that is much kinder and harsher than myself. The mangroves don’t say anything, but they firmly root themselves in the riverbed, as if they are trying to convey something to us tourists. The waterfall spills beautiful water endlessly, creating a sense that it is inviting us into a healing space. In the natural cave, I felt a strong aura and was enveloped by the air of another world flowing within the cave. On the white coral island of Baras, the beautiful contrast of the vibrant light blue sea and white is striking, stimulating all my senses no matter where I am. I experienced things I could never normally feel all at once and learned about the world of remote islands that I had not yet known.

鳥のさえずりがジャングルの川を彩ってくれます。
鳥の羽ばたきに耳を澄ませて、目をつぶってみると自分よりもずっと優しくて厳しい自然を感じることができました。
マングローブは何も言わないけどしっかりと川底の地面に根を張っていて、観光客の私たちに何かを伝えてくれてるようでした。
滝からはきれいな水がとめどなく溢れていて、私達を癒やしの空間に誘ってくれているような感じがしました。
自然の洞窟には強いオーラを感じ洞窟内に流れる別世界の空気に包み込まれていきました。
白いサンゴの島、バラスでは色鮮やかな水色の海と白のコントラストが美しく、どこにいても五感が揺さぶられます。
普段感じることができない経験を一度に体験でき、まだまだ知らなかった離島の世界を教わりました。

I was really intrigued by Iriomote Island, which is mostly untouched by development and boasts stunning natural beauty. It's located deep among the remote islands, and you reach the caves and waterfalls by navigating through the jungle. The jungle is so dense that you can easily lose your sense of direction, making it a place you definitely shouldn't venture into alone. To get to the waterfalls, you kayak from the sea into the river. Everyone who went trekking in the caves enjoyed discovering such caves hidden in the jungle. On Barasu Island, countless corals shine white, surrounded by a turquoise sea, and the soothing sounds of the corals and waves were incredibly relaxing. It’s a place I would love to visit again.

あまり開発されてなく島のほとんどが大自然の西表島にすごく興味を惹かれて参加しました。
離島の中でも最奥にあって、洞窟や滝はジャングルの中を抜けて向かいます。
ジャングルの中は方向を見失うほど草木が生い茂っていて、絶対に一人ではいけないような場所ばかりでした。
滝に向かうには海からカヤックで川へとはいります。
洞窟のトレッキングは見た人全員がジャングルの中にこんな洞窟があるなんてと楽しんでました。
バラス島には無数のサンゴが白く輝いていて周囲は水色の海が広がりざらざらとサンゴの音、波の音だけで癒やされました。
また行きたいと思える島でした

The weather was great, so I really enjoyed myself. The bus guide's attentiveness was wonderful, and the interesting stories unique to Okinawa made the bus ride enjoyable without any boredom. Since it was my first trip to Okinawa, I had a lot of fun on this packed tour.

お天気が良かったのでとても満喫できました
バスガイドさんの気配りが素晴らしく、沖縄ならでは興味あるお話も楽しくバスの中も退屈せずに済みました
沖縄旅行が初めてだったので、この盛りだくさんのツアーはとても楽しめました

A tour that allows you to visit both Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World at once! It's a great deal, and the guide's detailed explanations are worth more than the price, so I highly recommend it!

斎場御嶽とおきなわワールドをいっぺんにまわれるツアー！、お得なのに、ガイドさんのマメな説明がお値段以上なので、お勧めです！

I arrived at the airport for a solo trip from Osaka and signed up for the daytime tour on the same day. The female guide's explanations were precise, and she shared many interesting stories that I found engaging.

大阪からの一人旅で空港に着いてから昼のコースがあったので当日申込。女性ガイドさんの説明が的確で興味深い話が多く関心しました。

I joined the tour hoping to see the Iriomote cat, even though I wasn't expecting much. I was happy when our guide, Mr. Koiwa, said he would do his best to find it, even though it would be tough! When we went to a jungle-like area, there was a single coconut crab at the water spot, and I took a lot of pictures! On the way to the stargazing point, the guide found an owl and took us close to it; it was super cute! The stargazing point had no clouds, so I felt lucky to see three shooting stars! Unfortunately, I didn't see the Iriomote cat, but I got to see many other creatures, so it became a great memory!

イリオモテヤマネコを一度見てみたくてダメ元でツアーに参加しました。
ガイドの古岩さんが、厳しいけど頑張って探してみますと言ってくれて、嬉しかったです！
ジャングルのようなところに行くと、水場に一匹だけヤシガニがいたので、写真を取りまくってました！
星空ポイントに向かう途中ガイドさんがフクロウを見つけて近くまで案内してくれてめっちゃかわいかったです！
星空ポイントは雲がなかったので、流れ星を3個見れたのでラッキーな気分になれました！
残念ながらイリオモテヤマネコはいませんでしたが、他の生き物をたくさん見られたのでいい思い出になりました！

During the tour, time was managed to allow us to enjoy as many mangroves and caves as possible, and I was able to fully appreciate the charm of Iriomote Island in a short time!
On the way to the limestone cave, we passed through the jungle!
The trees were all large, and I was surprised to see plants bearing fruit on their trunks.
It seems that the leaves of the Totoro plant are toxic, so we were careful not to break them while taking commemorative photos.
As we passed through the naturally formed cave arch, it led us further into the jungle, where we spotted red birds, which was interesting.
Bara Island, formed by a collection of coral, offers a stunning ocean view that truly lives up to its name of "pure white paradise."
Thanks to the strong sunlight, the blue of the sea was vividly clear and beautiful.

ツアー中はマングローブや洞窟をなるべく多く楽しめるように時間の配慮がされていて、短い間で西表島の魅力を堪能できました！
鍾乳洞に進む途中はジャングル！
木がどれも大きく、木の幹に実をつける植物があり驚きました。
トトロの葉っぱには毒があるらしく、折らないように注意しながら記念撮影。
自然にできた洞窟のアーチを潜り抜け進んでいくとジャングルに続いていて、赤い鳥を見つけたりして面白かったです。
サンゴが一箇所に集まってできたバラス島は真っ白な楽園という名にふさわしい海の絶景を楽しめます。
日差しが強いおかげで海の青がくっきりと見え、美しかったです。

I was half excited and half anxious about what would happen before the tour started. Everything explained was filled with creatures and plants I had never seen before, and while taking commemorative photos by the bean stalk, we quickly arrived at the waterfall. We walked along the gently flowing river to the waterfall, where we saw river fish, crabs, and gobies. I tried to chase and catch them, but they were too quick and escaped. It was interesting to get close to the mangroves by canoe, within reach to touch! The snorkeling at Baras Island was filled with abundant coral! I swam in such a beautiful sea for the first time.

ツアーが始まるまではどうなるのか期待半分、不安半分でした。
説明されるものすべて見たことない生き物や、植物ばかりで豆の木で記念撮影をしてると、あっという間に滝までついていました。
滝までのサラサラと流れる川を歩いたんですが川魚がいたりカニやハゼがいたりして、追いかけて捕まえようとしましたが素早いので逃げられてしまいました。
マングローブも手で触れる距離までカヌーで近づけるのでおもしろい！
バラス島のシュノーケリングはサンゴもりもり！初めてこんな綺麗な海で泳ぎました

I had my first experience of shower trekking, walking along a beautiful river with unspoiled nature, on a course that is easy for beginners. If you love nature, you can enjoy it even if you're not good at sports. While stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves, I bumped into a curve, but the board protected me.

The waterfall was about 5 meters high and compact, but it had a pool-like basin where you can swim and have fun. The beauty of the sunlight streaming into the dark cave made me feel wrapped in nature, allowing me to relax.

The boat ride to Balas Island revealed coral formations that looked like mountains, and you can enjoy a world of white and blue from anywhere. There were boats for snorkeling and diving at a distance, and it was a very popular spot with many people stopping by Balas Island.

Thank you for a full day of adventure. I will definitely recommend this to my friends who are going next time!

初心者でも簡単に行けるコースで汚れていない自然が残ったきれいな川を歩けるシャワートレッキングを初めて体験できました。
自然が好きなら運動が苦手でも楽しめます。マングローブでのサップは途中カーブでぶつかったりしましたが、ボードが体を守ってくれました。
滝は高さが5mくらいでコンパクトでしたが、プールみたいな滝つぼがあり泳いで楽しめます。
鍾乳洞は暗がりの中に差し込む太陽の光との美しさで大自然に包み込まれてるようでリラックスできました。
船で向かったバラス島はサンゴが山のような形をしていてどこにいても白と青の世界を楽しめます。
離れたところではシュノーケルやダイビングをする船があってバラス島に立ち寄ることもあり大人気で人が多い場所でした。
丸一日ありがとうございました。今度行く友達にもすすめておきます！

I signed up for a round-trip ferry and water buffalo cart tour. It's overwhelmingly more economical than purchasing separately. The water buffalo tour was well-guided, and above all, it was a special experience to leisurely explore the streets of Taketomi Island while enjoying the scenery from the cart. Be sure to sit at the front of the water buffalo cart! If you sit at the back, the buffalo will be far away, and it will be hard to hear the explanations.

フェリー往復と水牛車観光のツアーに申し込みました。
別々に購入するよりも圧倒的にお得です。
水牛観光はガイドさんの説明も上手で、なによりも竹富島の街並みを眺めながら水牛車でゆっくりと観光できるのは特別な時間でした。
水牛車には必ず前方に乗ってください！後方だと水牛が遠く、説明も聞きづらいです。

The super strong water buffalo can pull a cart with about 20 people. This time, I got to ride on a water buffalo named A-pa-kun! Its body was large and impressive, but it had big, round eyes and was very calm and adorable. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also wonderful. Additionally, the explanation about Taketomi Island was very informative! The townscape had a distinct Okinawan charm, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time. I definitely want to participate again!

20人前後の人が乗った車を引くことができる超力もちの水牛さん。今回はアーパーくんという水牛の車に乗せてもらいました!体は大きくて迫力があるけれど、目がクリクリで大人しくてとても可愛かったです(^^)ガイドさんの三線の弾き語りも素晴らしかったです。また、竹富島についての説明もとても勉強になりました！
街並みも沖縄らしさがあり、のんびりとした時間が過ごせました。
ぜひまた参加したいと思います!!

It was unfortunate that we couldn't see the stars due to the cloudy sky, but our guide took us to various places to make up for it, and we had a great time. We were able to see coconut crabs, large hermit crabs, and even a rare owl, which made the children very happy. Thank you!

あいにくの曇り空で星が見えなかったのが残念でしたが、ガイドさんがそれを補うべくいろいろな場所に案内してくれて楽しかったです。
ヤシガニや大きなヤドカリ、珍しいコノハズクも見られて子供たちは大喜びしていました。ありがとうございました！

Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. We had chance to see many nice places. The scenery was very nice at the place we had lunch.
The pineapple garden was really nice but we could have spent more time there. 40 minutes was not enough to explore the garden and do shopping. Unfortunately, we had to wait for a family for 25 minutes even though it stated that people who didn't arrive on time needed to go to the next destination by themselves.
Aquarium was good as well.

Walking through the jungle at night in the warm tropical climate, the starry sky viewed from the sandy beach was breathtaking. The service was incredibly attentive, and they took care of us, who were not used to traveling to remote islands, allowing us to comfortably experience nature exploration in the pitch darkness of Iriomote Island. The passage of time felt special, and I was captivated by the island's charm that made me forget the city. When we moved to a different location in the square, the starry sky came into view so beautifully that it was hard to tell if it was reality or a dream. They quickly informed us if there were muddy spots underfoot, and the photos taken with my friends at a spot where we could see the stars and the sea were fantastic!

夜のジャングルを歩き南国の暖かい気候の中、砂浜から見る星空は絶景。
対応がとにかく丁寧で、離島旅行に慣れていない私達を気遣ってくれて、西表島の夜の真っ暗な中で自然探索を快適に体験。
流れる時間は特別に感じ、都会を忘れさせてくれる島の魅力に心動かされました。
場所を変え広場に移動すると星空が視界に飛び込んできて現実か夢か分からなくなるほどきれいでした。
足元がぬかるんでいるところがあればすぐに教えてくれたし、友人と一緒に星空と海が見えるところで撮ってくれた写真も最高でした！

I suddenly had a business trip to Naha, and feeling frustrated, I decided to book a hotel on my own and enjoy a day by myself the next day. However, since I can't drive and it's hot, I was wondering what to do when I saw this tour that I had wanted to try for a while, so I quickly made a reservation.

There weren't any other women participating alone, but there were a few men who were also attending alone, and I had no problem enjoying myself. I especially recommend the Gyokusendo Cave. Being in nature and soaking in the negative ions blew away the fatigue from work.

仕事で急に那覇出張になり、くやしいので自力でホテル取って、翌日1日一人で楽しもうと思っていました。とはいえ車運転できないし暑いしどうしようかと思っていた時にこのツアーを見て前から行ってみたかったので早速予約。
女性1人参加は他にはおられませんでしたが、男性1人参加の方もちらほら居てなんら問題なく楽しむ事ができました。特にガンガラーの谷はすごくオススメです。自然に触れてマイナスイオン浴びれて仕事の疲れも吹き飛びました。

In the untamed jungle, you can hear the sounds of bats and owls, and there are places where you can gaze at the star-filled sky. It's recommended to observe the stars in a cool tropical environment while listening to the calls of wild birds.

Even near the coast, bats are flying around, and there was a cave close to the sandy beach that was home to coconut crabs. The stars are so beautiful that the area has been designated as a starry sky protection zone, and you can usually see famous constellations like the Milky Way depending on the season.

I've heard that fireflies can be seen from March to May, so if I get the chance, I would like to participate in that as well.

整備されていないジャングルの森にはコウモリやフクロウの鳴き声が聞こえ、満天の星を眺められる場所もあり、野鳥の声を聞きながら南国の涼しい環境で星を観察できオススメです。
海岸近くでもコウモリは飛んでて、砂浜すぐ近くの洞窟にはヤシガニのお家がありました。
星は星空保護区に指定されるほどきれいで、天の川など時期によって有名な星座はたいてい見れまました。
3月から5月までホタルが見れるとのことなので機会があればそちらの方も参加してみたいなと思います。

As a greedy and lazy person, I was looking for a tour that would allow me to enjoy various places all at once, and I stumbled upon this one! I was drawn to the great value package tour and decided to join! Since I was also interested in the gourmet scene of Iriomote Island, I was able to have stylish restaurants selected for me, which was perfect for someone like me who loves fashion!

The canoe experience, entering from the sea and progressing into the river, was welcomed by the natural plants of Iriomote Island, leaving a lasting impression with their unique shapes that you wouldn't find in the city. I heard that there were fish swimming in the river, going back and forth to the sea. The natural limestone cave had a hole that looked like a tunnel. I was told that it was the result of rainwater dissolving over thousands of years.

Bara Island was like a cute little uninhabited island where you could land without swimming. Since it's made of coral, I didn't have to worry about getting hurt. Each tour was packed with the best parts, and I was extremely satisfied!

欲張りで面倒くさがりな私はなるべくまとめて色んな所で遊びたくてツアーを探してて偶然発見！
お得なセットツアーに惹かれて参加しました！
西表島グルメにも興味があったのでオシャレ好きな私にピッタリのお店をセレクトしてもらえました！
海からエントリーして川に進むカヌー体験は西表島の自然の植物がお出迎えしてくれて都会にはない不思議な形が印象に残っています。
川には魚も泳いでいて、海を行ったり来たりしてると聞きました。
自然の鍾乳洞はぽっかり穴が空いてトンネルみたいになってました。
何千年も時間をかけて雨水が溶かした結果なんですと、が教えてくれました。
バラス島は泳がずに上陸できる小さな無人島みたいでかわいかったです。
サンゴでできてるので、ケガを心配しなくて良いです。
それぞれのツアーの良いところを最大限に詰め込まれていて大満足！

I participated in a night jungle tour because I wanted to see nocturnal creatures. I was able to enjoy a variety of animals, including small frogs, large frogs, owls, bats, and coconut crabs! The starry sky was also beautifully visible, and I was very satisfied. Thank you!

夜の生き物を見たかったので夜のジャングルツアーに参加させていただきました。
小さなカエルに大きなカエル、フクロウやコウモリ、ヤシガニなど他にも色々な生き物が見れ存分に楽しませて頂きました！
星空も綺麗に見れ大満足でした。
ありがとうございました！

I participated in a one-day tour. In the morning, we did SUP and caving, and after having lunch, we went to Barasu Island.
At first, I struggled a bit with SUP, but by the end, I got the hang of it and was able to play around with my friends, which was fun. In the caving, I felt the grandeur of the stalactites that grow only a few millimeters each year.
Finally, we landed on Barasu Island, took photos, and collected some coral. It seems like I can make cute chopstick rests from the coral! I'm glad I chose this tour, and I want to come back to Iriomote Island again.

1日ツアーに参加しました。午前中にSUPとケイビングをして、お昼ご飯をはさんだ後にバラス島に行きました。
SUPの時、始めはなかなか思うようにのれなかったけど終盤になってからは友達と落とし合いなんかができるくらいになれて、楽しかったです。ケイビングでは年に数ミリしか伸びない鍾乳洞の壮大さを感じました。
最後にバラス島に上陸して写真やサンゴをとって帰りました。サンゴで可愛いお箸置きが作れそうです！また西表島に来たいと思うツアーで良かったです。

I wanted to make the most of my short stay on Iriomote Island, so I joined this tour that takes you to the mangrove limestone cave and Barasu Island. I was worried about whether I could enjoy it while being pressed for time, but the tour was designed with participants like me in mind, so I was able to enjoy it without any wasted time. I also managed to catch the ferry to Ishigaki Island without being late! The tour staff was very responsive to requests from participants, which left a great impression on me regarding their consideration for us. I didn't have many opportunities to express my gratitude, so I sent a thank-you message via LINE, and I received a prompt reply, showing that their aftercare was excellent!

とにかく短い滞在期間で西表島を遊び尽くしたかったので、マングローブ鍾乳洞バラス島に行けるこのツアーに参加しました。
時間に追われながら果たして楽しめるのかと思いましたが、私のようなタイトな参加者も考慮されているツアー内容だったので、無駄なく楽しめました。
石垣島行きのフェリーにも遅れることなく乗れました！
他にも参加者がいる中でかなり要望に答えてくれたので、参加者への気配り精神がしっかりしてるなぁと好印象！
なかなかお礼を言う瞬間がなかったのでラインでお礼のメッセージを送ると、すぐに返事が来てアフターケアもバッチリでした！

I wanted to see a lot of shooting stars, so after doing some research, I found out that Iriomote Island also offers a view of the Milky Way, and I made a reservation. The weather was clear, so I enjoyed the stars near an observation deck with a sense of openness. I was able to see shooting stars, and I successfully achieved my goal. I also saw Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. The soothing sound of the gentle waves allowed me to experience the tranquility of nature. The small jungle on the sandy beach was filled with rare nocturnal natural monuments. When I encountered a coconut crab and a hermit crab, I was understandably startled, but I was gently reassured that as long as I didn't approach and kept my distance, there was nothing to worry about. I hope that the unchanging nature will remain forever...

流れ星がたくさん見たくて色々調べたら西表島がさらに天の川も見れることが分かり、申し込みました。
天気も晴れたので開放感のある展望台近くで星を満喫。
流れ星も見えて、目的も無事達成。火星木星金星も見れました。
静かな波の音に癒やされて、自然の時間を体験できました。
砂浜にあるちょっとしたジャングルには夜行性の珍しい天然記念物の生き物で溢れてました。
ヤシガニにオカヤドカリ、ハブが出てきたときは流石に動揺しましたが近づかず警戒させなければ何も心配はいらないよと優しく声がけしてくれました。
いつまでも変わらない自然が残ればいいなと思いました…

I was considering experiencing an outdoor tour, and with plenty of options available until the day of departure, I discussed with my friends and made a reservation with Pipi.

On the day of the tour, I was worried about the unstable weather and whether it would rain, but by the time we got on the stand-up paddleboard and entered the mangrove river, it started to clear up, and the sunlight shining through the trees was dazzling and beautiful!

The light trekking to the waterfall involved walking through shallow waters, which felt nice and refreshing on my feet. Haru, the handsome guide who took pictures of me and my friends sitting on the vines of the Modama tree, talked about Iriomote Island the whole time!

After a short 5-minute drive, we arrived at the entrance to the cave exploration! It was my first time taking photos in complete darkness, and it was really fun! I didn't have a beautiful image of natural caves, but thanks to the caves on Iriomote Island, my perception has completely changed!

Bara Island was even more beautiful than in the photos, and I took tons of selfies with my friends (laughs).

野外のツアーを体験したいと考えていて、旅行出発の日までたくさんあるツアーの中で何がいいのか友人と話し合いこちらのピピさんに予約しました。
当日は不安定な天気で雨が振らないか心配でしたが、サップに乗りマングローブの川に入る頃には晴れ始め、木の間から差し込む太陽の光が眩しくてきれいでした！
滝までの軽いトレッキングは浅い水辺を歩くので足元が冷たくて気持ちよかったです。
モダマのツルに座って友人との思い出を撮ってくれた原さんはイケメンガイドさんで、西表島の話をずっとしてくれました！
車に乗って5分くらい移動して洞窟探検の入り口に到着！
真っ暗闇で写真を取るなんて初めてで面白かったです！
自然の洞窟はキレイなイメージがなかったけど、西表島の洞窟のおかげでイメージ逆転しました！
バラス島は写真よりもキレイで、友人と自撮りしまくりました(笑)
