All Reviews for Okinawa Outdoor Activities

This is definitely a tour I would highly recommend. During snorkeling, I was amazed to see turtles, clownfish, and table corals (the turtles swam quite close to us, not wary of people at all, and were munching on seaweed, which was surprising). My sister, who is in Miyako Island, said that turtles are usually seen from a distance and don’t come that close, quickly swimming away. It might be because the people of Iriomote Island have a close and respectful relationship with the turtles and nature.

Also, my child found the canoeing to be really fun and kept talking about it after we got back. The rice balls we had for lunch in front of the waterfall were incredibly delicious. The wild boar we saw on the way back was also very cute. The wild boar was not at all scared and was munching on things that had fallen on the road, which was surprising. Everyone who participated in the tour with us was wonderful, and the staff from Monsoon were also great, making it a lovely memory.

ぜひオススメしたいツアーです。
シュノーケリングでは、亀やクマノミ、テーブルサンゴを見られて感動しました（亀はかなり近くで泳いでくれていて、人に警戒する事もなく、むしゃむしゃと海藻を食べていてびっくり）宮古島にいる妹が、亀は普通遠くで見つけても、そこまで近くにはこないし、すぐ遠ざかっていくものだと言ってました。
西表島の方々が、亀や自然と、大切に付き合っているからなのかもしれませんね。
また、子供はカヌーがすごく面白かったようで、帰ってからもその話ばかりしていました。
滝の前で食べるおにぎりのお弁当が、すごく美味しかったです。
帰りに見かけたうりぼうも、すごく可愛かったです。
うりぼうも、全然逃げずに道に落ちているものを、ムシャムシャ食べていてびっくり。
一緒にツアーに参加してくださっていた方も、皆さん素敵な方ばかりで、モンスーンの方も皆さん素敵な方で、良い思い出になりました。

I couldn't see many stars due to the bad weather, but I was able to see the coconut crab (endangered species) and the purple land hermit crab (natural monument). It was fun.
However, I was dissatisfied with the guide's level of knowledge. I didn't receive satisfactory answers to most of my questions. I felt that the staff clearly lacked knowledge about the creatures we could observe during the course.
Overall, it was enjoyable, but there were also some unsatisfactory points.

星は天気が悪かったためほとんど見れませんでしたが、ヤシガニ(絶滅危惧種)とムラサキオカヤドカリ(天然記念物)が見れました。楽しかったです。
しかし、ガイドさんの知識量に関して不満足でした。質問した内容のほとんどに対して納得のいく回答をしてもらえませんでした。コース中に観察できる生物に関してスタッフが明らかに知識不足だと感じました。
全体的には楽しかったが、不満足な点も残ったといった感じです。

Canoeing was absolutely wonderful! I was moved by the amazing experience of crossing a real river.

The trekking offered views I had never experienced before. When I reached the waterfall, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.

In the limestone cave, I was first struck by the entrance. It was a surprising and mystical experience.

Throughout the entire process, the guide was very knowledgeable and answered many of my questions. Their clear explanations made the tour much more enjoyable. It is a physically demanding tour, but I highly recommend it!

カヌーが最高に気持ち良かったです！本物の川を渡るという素晴らしい経験に感動しました

トレッキングでは今までに体験した事のない景色が見られます　滝にたどり着いた時には達成感がいっぱいでした

鍾乳洞ではまず入り口に衝撃を受けました　驚きと神秘に満ちた体験でした

全ての工程においてガイドさんの知識が豊富で質問にたくさん答えてくださいました　わかりやすい説明でツアーが何倍も楽しめたように思います　体力が必要なツアーではありますが本当におすすめです！！

Unfortunately, the clouds covered the sky, and I couldn't see the stars. I was really looking forward to the starry sky, so it's disappointing. The staff member tried to lift our spirits, and I have no complaints about the organizers. I want to improve my daily conduct and come back again. Please create something to blow away the clouds, Veltra.

あいにく雲がかかってしまい星は見ることができなかった。星空がメインで申し込んだので残念です。スタッフのお兄さんは盛り上げようとしてくれたし、主催側に文句はありません。日頃の行いを良くして、また来たいと思います。
何か雲を吹き飛ばす道具を、veltraさんで作って下さい。

The staff were incredibly kind and nice. The shuttle service made it easy to participate. The activity was a great nature exploration and very enjoyable. I thought it might be quite strenuous, but once I participated, the level of exercise was manageable and enjoyable. It was so good that I would like to try a different activity next time I visit.

スタッフさんが何より親切で良い人でした。送迎もあり参加もしやすかったです。
アクティビティは、大自然探索でとても楽しかったです♬結構しんどいのかな？と思いましたが、参加してみると楽しめる余裕がある運動量でした。
とても、良かったので次行ったときは別のアクティビティでお世話になりたいと思います。

The guide was very polite and provided detailed explanations about plants and constellations. It was a shame that we could see the hermit crab, but not the coconut crab or wild birds.

丁寧なガイドさんでした、植物や星座の事を詳しく説明頂きました。
ヤドカリが見られましたが、ヤシガニや野鳥などが見られなかったのは、残念でした。

I was excited to find creatures in the jungle at night, and I was moved by the starry sky peeking through the clouds on the beach at night. It was a valuable experience, even though the north wind was cold.

夜のジャングルで生き物を見つけてはしゃぎ、夜の浜辺に出て雲間の星空に感動し、北風が寒かったけど貴重な体験でした。

I ended up having to pay a transportation fee of 3,000 yen without any prior explanation. Being told this in the hotel lobby on the day of arrival was quite troubling. This is a complete lack of communication. I'm very disappointed.

事前に説明の無い送迎料3000円を支払う羽目になりました。当日、ホテルのロビーで言われても、困ります。完全に説明不足です。大変がっかりです。

Unfortunately, the weather was drizzly, so we couldn't see the starry sky, but the nighttime walk was enjoyable. It was fun to see coconut crabs and crabs on the beach, and I felt connected to nature. It was also great that they provided boots and lights, making it easy to join in.

　あいにくの小雨交じりの天気だったので星空を見ることは出来ませんでしたが暗闇の散策は楽しかったです。
ヤシガニや浜にいるカニなどが見れて自然を感じることもでき楽しかったです。
長靴にライトも貸していただけるので気軽に参加できるのも良かったです。

We participated in this as a final summer vacation memory with our family: my husband, our daughter (5th grade), and our son (2nd grade). There was another family with us as well. By the end, the kids became good friends and we had an even more enjoyable time!

We traveled from Ishigaki Island to Uehara Port on Iriomote Island to join the tour. It was quite windy and there were sudden rain showers in Ishigaki, but it was sunny once we arrived at Iriomote Island. In the morning, we went snorkeling! The sea was so beautiful that I kept swimming and peeking around. I was thrilled to see a sea turtle! Personally, I found the clownfish hiding in the anemone to be the cutest☆

After snorkeling, we moved to the Iriomote Island Monsoon shop by tour vehicle, which was only about a 5-minute drive from the port. We had time for lunch and changing clothes. In the afternoon, we did kayaking and trekking. The guide was cute, knowledgeable, and made the journey fun. She interacted with my son and daughter cheerfully like a friend, which made my son, who usually dislikes walking, enjoy trekking. It was moving when we finally saw the waterfall! We even encountered a habu snake along the way, which was scary but allowed us to fully enjoy the nature of Okinawa. Once we reached the waterfall, we repeatedly jumped in!

The transition from the morning's sea activities to the afternoon trekking was a bit tiring, but this tour allowed us to fully enjoy Iriomote Island in just one day! It was the best! If we have another family trip, I would love to participate again.

家族で夏休み最後の思い出に参加しました。
夫婦、娘（小5)、息子（小2)
他に一緒の方がもう一家族いました。
最後は子供同士も仲良しになりさらに楽しく過ごせました！

石垣島から西表島の上原港まで移動して参加しました。石垣島は風が強く急な雨がありましたが、西表島に着いてからは晴れていました。
午前中はシュノーケリング！海がきれい過ぎてずっと泳ぎながら覗いていました。海ガメを見ることもできて感動！
個人的にはイソギンチャクに隠れていたカクレクマノミが1番可愛かったです☆
海から上がると、ツアーの車で西表島モンスーンのショップへ移動。港から車で5分ぐらいの近さ。
昼食や着替えタイム。
午後からはカヤックとトレッキング。ガイドのお姉さんが可愛くて、物知りで楽しく移動できました。息子と娘にも友達のように明るく接してくださり、歩くの大嫌いな息子も楽しくトレッキングできました。
滝が見えてきた時は感動です！途中にハブもいて、怖いながらも沖縄の自然を満喫できました。滝に着いてからはジャンプで飛び込むを何度も何度も繰り返していました。
午前中の海から、午後のトレッキングはちょっと疲れましたが西表島を１日で満喫できちゃうこのツアー！最高でした！家族で旅行に行くことがあればまた参加したいです。

My middle and high school sons usually play games all the time, but we had a great experience in nature with canoeing, playing in waterfalls, and snorkeling where we encountered turtles. We were able to see their happy smiles. It was a valuable experience.

中高生の息子たち、普段ゲームばかりしていますが、大自然のカヌーや滝壺遊び、シュノーケルで亀に遭遇、よい笑顔を見ることができました。
価値ある体験でした

It was a wonderful night. I have never seen such a beautiful starry sky before, to the point where I couldn't even tell which constellations were which. Without the guide's laser pointer, I don't think I would have understood. It was even more beautiful and moving than the starry sky I saw in Hawaii a few years ago. On top of that, I got to see a coconut crab, making it a fitting activity to conclude my trip.

素晴らしい夜でした。とにかくここまで美しい星空は見たことがなく、どれがどの星座なのかわからないぐらい見えました。
ガイドさんのレーザーポインターが無ければ、わからなかったと思います。
数年前に見たハワイの星空よりも美しく感動させられました。
おまけにヤシガニも見れて、旅の最後を締めくくるに相応しいアクティビティになりました。

I felt it was a bit pricey, but considering the volume and the friendly service, I'm really glad I signed up!

少し割高に感じたのですが、あのボリュームと
親切な対応を考えると申し込みして本当に良かったと思えました！

I was satisfied to see creatures that you can only encounter if you know the area. The guide's response was also good. It was a great tour where I could see the starry sky as well.

現地を知らないと遭遇できない生き物が見えて満足しました。ガイドの対応も良かったです。
星空も見れてお得なツアーでした

I chose this tour because I wanted to enjoy both the mountains and the sea in a limited number of days. The guide provided detailed explanations about the mangroves and mountain plants, which was interesting. The snorkeling was well-guided, making for a fulfilling day. It was great!

限られた日数の中で、山も海も楽しみたいと思い、このツアーを選びました。
ガイドの方が、マングローブや山の植物を丁寧に説明してくださり、面白かったです。
海もしっかりとスノーケルガイドをしていただき、充実した1日になりました。良かったです！

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

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。

I've always wanted to try canoeing through the mangroves! It was truly refreshing to slowly enjoy nature while paddling down the river under the bright blue sky, allowing me to forget the daily hustle and bustle. I was able to experience many things that I can't normally enjoy in my everyday life, such as trekking to a large waterfall and exploring untouched natural caves. If I had more time, I would love to try even more activities. I definitely want to go again!

ずっとやってみたかったマングローブのカヌー下り！
真っ青な青空の下ゆっくりと自然を満喫しながら川を下っていくのが日頃の喧騒を忘れることができて本当に気持ち良かったです。
大きな滝までのトレッキングや手つかずの自然の洞窟の探検など普段生活をしている中では味わえない事が沢山出来ました。もっと時間があればもっと色々なことを経験してみたいです。
また、是非行きたいと思います！

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！

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！

It was a very hot day, exceeding 33 degrees, but canoeing among the unique plants and trees of Iriomote Island was enjoyable, and the Pisanara Falls exceeded my expectations, feeling like a place that could be anywhere but Japan. The cave was naturally preserved in a good way; it was dark and narrow, but that added to the extraordinary experience! However, it seemed there wasn't a spot with light shining through like in the tour photos.

The trekking to the falls takes about 30 minutes and is quite hard. To prevent sunburn and to touch the plants, I recommend wearing long-sleeved leggings even in summer.

This tour is highly recommended for those who love caves and limestone caves. The tour guide was a very young woman, but she was dedicated and left a good impression. It seems that the place where we could store our luggage and borrow a shower also operates as a guesthouse, which had a great atmosphere. I would like to stay there next time I visit.

33度超えでとても暑い日でしたが西表島ならではの植物や木々の中のカヌーは楽しく、ピサナーラ滝は予想以上で日本とは思えない感じでした。洞窟も良い意味で自然そのままなので、くらく狭いですが、それがまた非日常でよかった！ただこのツアーの写真のような光が差す場所はなかったような…
滝までのトレッキングは30分くらいですがまあまあハードです。日焼け防止と植物に触れたりするので夏でも長袖スパッツをお勧めします。
洞窟や鍾乳洞好きな方にはこのツアーはとてもオススメです。
ツアーのガイドさんはとても若い女性の方でしたが一生懸命で好感がもてました。荷物を預けたりシャワーを借りたこちらはゲストハウスもやってらっしゃるようでとても雰囲気がよく、次回はこちらに泊まりでまた来たいと思います。

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…

Iriomote Island becomes completely dark at night due to the absence of streetlights. It seems that there are sometimes habu snakes, so they provide a service that prepares rubber boots for safety. On the way to a beach known only to locals, you can encounter a large hermit crab called a coconut crab. Once you reach the beach, you can see the starry sky clearly, and on a night without clouds or the moon, the Milky Way is vividly visible, allowing you to enjoy a wonderful time with only the sound of the waves. The guide, Asahina, explained the stars, and you can see the Summer Triangle that appears in textbooks. After moving to a high point, I was able to lie down and enjoy the peaceful time on the island.

西表島は夜になると街灯がないので真っ暗になります。ハブが出ることがあるみたいで、安全のため長靴を用意してくれるサービスがついていました。地元の人にしか知られていない砂浜に向かう道の途中で、ヤシガニと呼ばれる大きなヤドカリの仲間に出会えます。砂浜に出ると、星空が見れて、雲と月がない日だったので、天の川がくっきりとみえ、波の音だけしか聞こえない素敵な時間を過ごせます。ガイドの朝比奈さんが星の説明をしてくれて、教科書で出てくる夏の大三角を見ることができます。高台に移動したあとは寝転がって静かな島の時間を楽しめました。

I was able to experience a lot of nature on Iriomote Island! The limestone cave provided an exciting and thrilling experience. The guide was friendly and explained the plants of Iriomote Island in an easy-to-understand way. I would love to use this service again!

西表島の自然に沢山触れあえました！鍾乳洞ではワクワクドキドキの体験ができました♩ガイドさんも気さくで西表島の植物についてわかりやすく教えていただきました(o^^o)また利用したいです♬

My first time on Iriomote Island. I only had one day to spare, so I signed up for this packed course. As a result, it was incredibly fun.

I was able to paddle the canoe more smoothly than I expected, and the trekking was hard, but when I reached the Pinaisara Falls, all my fatigue disappeared. It was just after the rainy season, and the sea was very clear with vibrant coral. I even got to see a large sea turtle, and I was extremely satisfied!!

I definitely recommend participating!!

初西表島。１日しか日にちが割けなかったので、盛りだくさんなこちらのコースを申し込みました。結果、最高に楽しかったです。
カヌーも思ったより順調に漕げて、トレッキングはハードでしたが、ピナイサーラの滝に着くと疲れも吹っ飛びます。ちょうど梅雨明けしたとこで、海もすごく透明度が高く珊瑚もイキイキしてました。大きなウミガメも見ることもできたし、大満足です！！
是非、参加することをお勧めします！！

It was my first experience in the jungle at night, and I was very anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but I was able to see large bats, hermit crabs, and even a coconut crab, which is a natural monument, making it an unforgettable memory. The guide was well-prepared with boots and flashlights, allowing us to explore safely.

I was also taken care of by Pipi during the day. It turned out to be the best trip!

夜のジャングル自体初めての経験で、最初は楽しめるかとても不安だったのですが、大きなコウモリやヤドカリ、そして最後には天然記念物のヤシガニまで見ることが出来て、最高の思い出になりました。ガイドの方も長靴や懐中電灯をしっかりと準備してくださっていて、安全に探検することが出来ました。
お昼間もpipiさんにお世話になりました。最高のtripになりました。

I originally booked a one-day tour, but due to my mistake, I realized I wouldn't make it in time for the boat after the tour, so I urgently changed to a half-day tour the day before. It was during the rainy season, and the forecast was cloudy with occasional rain, so I gave up on snorkeling and opted for a tour that included only trekking and canoeing.

I was picked up from the Paina Maya Hotel at 9:30 and arrived at Monsoon about 30 minutes later. It was a nice viewpoint with a view of the sea beyond the forest, and there were two horses while we waited for the other guests to arrive. Once everyone was gathered, we moved by car to the canoe launch site.

We boarded the canoe aiming for the Pinaisara Falls, progressing through the mangroves. The weather was cloudy and the temperature was just right, and we arrived at the canoe drop-off point in about 30 minutes. From there, we aimed for the waterfall basin on foot. We climbed for about 30 minutes through a muddy jungle, navigating rocky areas and many roots, until we reached the waterfall basin. The water splashes felt refreshing, and the height of 50 meters was impressive. Here, we had some free time to eat the lunch that the staff brought and take photos. After about an hour, we returned the same way.

◎ Staff
Most of the staff were in their 20s, very friendly, and helped create a lively atmosphere.

◎ Other guests
There was a group of 10 people and two solo female travelers. I got along well with the solo travel group.

◎ Clothing
The canoe ride can get your pants quite wet. They provide shoes, hats, and waterproof bags for rent.

Thank you for accommodating the change in the tour content despite the short notice. Since it seems there are accommodations available, I would like to visit again for an overnight stay next time.

元々こちらの１日ツアーを申し込んでいましたが、私の手違いで、ツアー後乗る船に間に合わない事が発覚し、急遽前日に半日ツアーに変更して頂きました。ちょうど梅雨時で、曇り時々雨との予報だったので、シュノーケリングは諦め、トレッキング、カヌーのみのツアーに。
パイヌマヤホテルから９時半に送迎して頂き、30分程でモンスーンさんに到着。森の向こうに海の見える見晴らしのいい高台で、馬が2頭いて、ほかのお客さんが到着するまで少し待機。
みんな揃ったら車でカヌー乗り場まで移動。
ピナイサーラの滝を目指してカヌーに乗船。
マングローブの中を進みます。曇りで気温もちょうど良く、30分くらいでカヌー降り場に到着。
ここからトレッキングで滝壺を目指します。ぬかるんだジャングルの中、途中岩場や根っこが多い道を30分ほど登っていき、滝壺に到着。
水しぶきが気持ちよくて、50メートルの高さに圧感です。ここで、スタッフさんが持ってきてくれたお弁当を食べたり、写真とったりゆっくり自由時間。1時間ほどしてから元の道を帰りました。
◎スタッフさん
皆さん20代の若めの方が多く、とても気さくで盛り上げてくれました。
◎ほかのお客さん
10名の団体さん、一人旅女性2名
一人旅グループさんと仲良くさせていただきました。
◎服装
カヌーで結構ズボンが濡れます。
靴、帽子、防水バッグは貸し出ししてくれます。


今回は、急だったにも関わらず、ツアーの内容を変更して頂きありがとうございました。
宿泊施設もあるようなので、今度は泊まりで訪れたいと思います。

Whenever I see a jungle exploration program on TV, I often think that I would like to go someday.

Nature spreads out before me, and we walk along paths that have no trails. We become familiar with the island while learning about the names and origins of wild animals and trees.

On this trip to Barasu Island and Pinai Sara Falls, I was able to experience such a grand adventure, almost untouched by human hands.

The guide carefully explained the local flora and fauna, and by learning about the island's formation, I was able to enjoy Iriomote Island even more.

Thank you for serving warm tea at the waterfall basin and providing brown sugar on the boat whenever we wanted it.

The kayak journey through the mangrove forest to Pinai Sara Falls is sure to leave you in awe as you encounter the scenery transitioning from narrow tributaries to wide river expanses.

If I catch Iriomote fever, I will fly back from Tokyo again.

テレビでジャングル探検番組があると、いつか行ってみたいなぁと思うことがしばしばありました。

目の前に自然が広がり、自分たちの足で道無き道を歩いていく。そして、野生の動物や木々の名前や由来を聞きながら島に親しむ。

今回のバラス島とピナイサーラの滝では、ほとんど人の手が加えられていない、そんな大冒険を味わうことができました。

ガイドの方は地元の動植物を丁寧に解説してくれて、島の成り立ちを知ることで、より一層西表島が楽しめます。

滝壺では暖かいお茶を出してくれたり、船の上でも黒糖を欲しい時に提供していただき、ありがとうございます。

ピナイサーラの滝までのマングローブ林のなかを進むカヤックは、細い支流から大きくひらけた川幅に差し掛かるその景色に大感動すること間違いなし。

西表病に罹ったらまた東京から飛んできます。

The weather was bad, but I was able to see sea turtles, and the guide was very nice. Thank you very much.

天気は悪かったけど、ウミガメも見れて、ガイドさんも感じがとても良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

ほとんど曇りで雨の日でしたが、ジャングルとその天気はとても良い組み合わせだと思います。マングローブ川でのカヤックはとても楽しくてリラックスできましたし、滝も素晴らしかったですし、洞窟は雨の中の冒険のようでした。とても楽しい体験をしました。強くお勧めします！

It was mostly cloudy and rainy day, but I think the jungle and that weather are quite a good match. Kayaking on the mangrove river was so fun and calming, the waterfall was great, and the cave was like an adventure in the rain. Such fun experience I had. Highly recommended!
