All Reviews for Okinawa Kayaking / Canoeing

I was able to participate in the tour without any anxiety thanks to the quick responses to various inquiries before the tour! During the canoeing, I learned a lot about the mangroves and wildlife, and the time flew by in a fun way. The path to the top of the Pinai Sara Falls and the basin was hard for someone like me who doesn't exercise regularly, but I was taught safe ways to climb and descend, and the view from the top of the falls was breathtaking! The water bath in the basin was also incredibly refreshing, and I was very satisfied. I was scheduled to return home on a night flight, and I appreciated the consideration to ensure I wouldn't miss it. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

ツアー参加前から色んな問い合わせに迅速に対応して頂き、不安なく当日を迎えることができました！カヌー中はマングローブや生物について詳しく教えて頂き、楽しくあっという間に過ぎました。ピナイサーラの滝上や滝壺に至る道は普段運動していない私的にはハードでしたが、安全な登り方降り方を教えて頂き、滝上からの眺めは圧巻でした！滝壺での水浴びもすごく気持ち良くて大満足でした^_^
夜便で帰宅予定で、乗り遅れのないように気を遣って頂きありがたかったです^ ^素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

It was my first time trying SUP, and I really enjoyed it. I felt rejuvenated in nature. Although the tour was changed due to the weather, I was very satisfied with the kind assistance I received. I would like to create another opportunity to participate again.

サップは初めてでしたが楽しめました。
自然の中で癒されました。
今回天候によってツアーが変更になりましたが、親切に対応していただけて大満足でした。また機会を作って参加したいと思います。

I was a bit anxious since I only had a little experience with canoeing for fun, but thanks to the staff's explanations, I was able to paddle and turn right away.

I went canoeing with my elderly wife, and we enjoyed about 50 minutes on the water with the staff.

Along the way, we went trekking up to the top of Pinai Sara Falls, and the lunch (Yaeyama soba) at a scenic spot was delicious.

After that, we went down to the base of the waterfall to swim, and when we got a little hungry, we had some snacks. It was a fun day spent with friendly staff and fellow tour participants.

My wife wanted to express her gratitude, so we decided to share our experience. I hope this helps those who will participate in the future.

カヌーは遊びで少し経験した程度で不安でしたが、スタッフの方の説明で、すぐに進んだり曲がることが出来ました。
初老の家内との二人乗りでしたが、スタッフの方について合計５０分程度カヌーを楽しめました。
途中でトレッキングをしてピナイサーラの滝上まで登り、景色の良い場所での昼食（八重山そば）も美味しかったです。
その後、滝つぼまで下りて泳ぎ、小腹が減った頃におやつをいただき、気さくなスタッフの方とツアーで一緒になった方と楽しい一日でした。
家内がぜひ御礼を言いたいということで、体験談を投稿しました。
これから参加される方に参考になれば幸いです。

I signed up for the cave, canoeing, and Balas Island tour, and I had valuable experiences that I wouldn't normally have. The guide provided clear instructions, making it easy to understand. The weather was relatively favorable, and the scenery at Balas Island was especially amazing! I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

鍾乳洞、カヌー、バラス島訪問ツアーに申し込みましたが、何れも普段体験できない貴重な体験ができました。ガイドさんもしっかり案内してくれるので分かりやすかったです。
天気にも比較的恵まれ特にバラス島の景色は最高でした！
また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

I participated after the four-day holiday in September. Unfortunately, the wind was strong, so we couldn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island, but they kindly contacted me the day before and changed the plan to a sunrise SUP session. On the day, I was the only participant, which allowed me to receive one-on-one instructions and explore the mangroves. I paddled up the tranquil Kuura River before dawn, saw the Sagarihana flowers, and even encountered fireflies. When I returned around sunrise, I was worried because clouds had started to appear, but I was able to see a golden sunrise through a break in the clouds. Surrounded by the magnificent nature in 360 degrees while listening to the sound of the waves and under the clear autumn sky, I felt like I was indulging in a luxurious moment all by myself. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

9月の4連休開けに参加しました。あいにく風が強くてバラス島のシュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、前日に連絡を下さり、朝日のSUPへ快くプラン変更して下さいました。当日の参加者はなんと私のみでしたが、おかげでマンツーマンで説明を聞くことができ、マングローブを探検することができました。夜明け前の静寂なクーラ川をSUPを漕いで昇り、サガリバナを見て、ホタルにも出会うことができました。朝日が昇る頃に戻り、雲が出てきたので心配でしたが、雲の切れ間から黄金の日の出を見ることができました。澄んだ秋空と波の音を聞きながら360℃雄大な自然に囲まれて、贅沢なひと時を一人占めした気分でした。素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

My first time on Iriomote Island!
We were blessed with good weather and made our way to Kura Falls surrounded by mangroves on a SUP board.
It truly felt like an adventure, and along the way, I was able to see various plants and animals. The guide provided detailed information about the names and ecology of the flora and fauna, which made it very enjoyable as I could understand and appreciate what I was seeing.
Exploring the limestone caves was also a great experience; feeling the nature on the way there was wonderful, but when I stood in front of the cave, it was so impressive that I felt a bit scared, haha.
I really enjoyed feeling the great outdoors!

はじめての西表島！
天候に恵まれクーラの滝までマングローブに囲まれた場所をSUPボードで進みました。
本当に冒険感があり進んでいくなかで様々な動植物を見ることができました。ガイドの方が動植物の名前や生態を詳しく教えてくれるので見て自分の中で納得できてとても楽しかったです。
鍾乳洞探険もそこに進むまでに自然を感じられ洞窟を前にした時迫力がありすぎて少し怖いと思いました笑
大自然を感じられ楽しかったです！

It was my first time on Iriomote Island, and I had a great time experiencing the nature of mangrove SUP, waterfalls, and limestone caves! I was a bit anxious about trying SUP for the first time, but with the guidance I received, I was able to enjoy it by the end. Since this was a day trip, I hope to see the starry sky next time!

初めての西表島でしたが、マングローブSUP、滝、鍾乳洞の自然を感じられてとても楽しかったです！初体験のSUPで少し不安でしたが、教えていただき最後には楽しく乗ることができました^^今回は日帰りだったので次回は星空もみたいと思います！

I am very grateful to the guide for their help. Thank you for your attentive service. I appreciate the valuable experiences of canoeing and exploring the limestone caves.

ガイドさんには大変お世話になりました。
丁寧に対応して頂き感謝です。
カヌー体験や鍾乳洞への探検と貴重な体験をさせていただき感謝です

For our first trip to Ishigaki Island, we decided to try the Barasu and canoe waterfall adventure after much deliberation! Thanks to our friendly and very kind guide who explained and showed us so much, it truly became a wonderful memory! It's common for any tour company to have beautiful seas, but if you're unsure about which tour to choose, you can't go wrong here!

初の石垣島からの離島プラン、色々悩んでバラスとカヌー滝遊びに挑戦！
ガイドさんが気さく、とても親切で色々説明、案内してくれたおかげで本当に良い思い出になりました！
どこのツアー会社でも海が綺麗なのは当たり前、ツアー選びで迷ったらここで間違いなし！

It was a tour for snorkeling at Barasu Island and mangrove SUP! They took a lot of photos and sent them to me right away, which was great♪ They also recommended some restaurants and spots, making for a very fulfilling day◡̈ I would love to join again when I come back to Iriomote Island⭐︎

バラス島シュノーケル、マングローブSUPのツアーでした！写真もたくさん撮ってすぐに送ってくれて、とても良かったです♪ オススメの飲食店やスポットも教えて頂き、とても充実した日を送ることができました◡̈　また西表島に来たら参加したいです⭐︎

My first time on Iriomote Island was so healing with the abundant nature of mangrove SUP, waterfalls, and limestone caves!

The photos turned out beautifully, making for a wonderful keepsake!

Since this was a day trip, I thought it would be nice to stay overnight on Iriomote Island next time!

It became a very enjoyable memory☆ I would love to use this service again on my next opportunity!

初めての西表島、マングローブSUPや、滝、鍾乳洞の自然いっぱいで癒されました！　　
　
写真も、すごく綺麗に撮ってもらえてとてもいい記念になりました！！　

今回日帰りだったので次回は西表島で１泊したいなと思いました！　　

とても楽しい思い出になりました☆次の機会もまた利用したいと思います！

Due to the weather, we couldn't explore the cave or land on Barasu Island, but they prepared an alternative plan for us, and we were able to fully enjoy a day on Iriomote Island! Canoeing in the mangroves was also a wonderful experience, allowing us to feel close to nature. Thank you very much!

天候の影響で、鍾乳洞探検とバラス島上陸はできなかったのですが、別プランを用意してくださり、1日西表島を満喫できました！マングローブでのカヌーもすごく自然を感じ楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

The tour staff were all very kind and wonderful people. During the activities, they took amazing photos that created great memories. Additionally, they provided transportation, so it was fine not to have a rental car. As a measure against COVID-19, both participants and staff wore masks during crowded travel, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. If I have the chance to come back to Iriomote Island, I would definitely like to use their services again.

ツアーのスタッフの方がとても優しくいい人ばかりでした。
アクティビティでは、体験中の写真をめちゃくちゃいい感じに撮ってくれていい思い出づくりになりました。
また、送迎もしてくれるのでレンタカーが無くても大丈夫でした。
新型コロナウィルス対策として密になる移動中は参加者もスタッフもマスクを着用しており、安心して楽しめました。
もし、次も西表島に来ることがあればぜひ利用したいです。

The day after the typhoon passed, the waves and winds were strong, so unfortunately, snorkeling was canceled. However, they quickly provided an alternative plan, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful day in Iriomote. Not only the activities, but also the enjoyable conversations and the personality of the guide made for great memories.

台風通過の翌日だったため、波風が強く、残念ながらシュノーケリングは中止になってしまいましたが、すぐに別のプランで対応していただき、西表での一日を楽しくすごすことができました。
アクティビティはもちろん、担当していただいたガイドさんとの楽しい会話や人柄に触れることもでき、いい思い出になりました。

First, we snorkeled in the highly transparent coral sea. The guide found a sea turtle, and we were super excited! We encountered sea turtles a few more times after that. I even got to meet Nemo for the first time in my life!!

When we changed spots, we were able to see various corals and tropical fish! I was very satisfied to see table corals while snorkeling♪

After lunch, we went canoeing and trekking. It was both my husband and my first time canoeing, so we were a bit anxious, but the guide explained everything clearly, and we had a lot of fun paddling! The trekking was quite hard, but it was interesting as we took breaks and learned about the trees and creatures of Iriomote Island!

After the tough trekking, cooling down in the waterfall was the best reward! On the day of the tour, I was worried that the return boat might be canceled due to the typhoon, but the guide regularly checked the operation status, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you so much (о´∀`о)

I had decided to only choose one tour for this trip, so I was really worried about which one to pick. However, I was happy that the owner and the guide considered the participants by choosing swimming spots based on the waves and adjusting the trekking according to our fatigue levels. I feel it was a great company that truly cares about its participants! Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!

While looking at the photos you sent, my husband and I often talk about the fun day we had (*´꒳`*) When we go to Ishigaki Island or Iriomote Island again, we will be in your care, so please take care of us then! Thank you for a wonderful day♪

最初に透明度の高い珊瑚の海をシュノーケル。ガイドのお兄さんが海ガメを見つけてくれて大興奮！そのあとにも何回か海ガメと遭遇。人生初のニモにも会えました！！
スポットを変えると、色々な珊瑚と熱帯魚を見ることができました！テーブル珊瑚も見れて大満足なシュノーケル♪
お昼ご飯を食べた後は、カヌーとトレッキング。
カヌーは旦那も私もはじめてだったので不安がありましたが、ガイドのお兄さんが分かりやすく教えてくれて楽しく漕げました♪トレッキングはかなりハードでしたが、所々で休憩しながら西表島の木々や生き物の事を教えてくれて面白かったです！つらいトレッキングの後にはご褒美の滝壺でクールダウン最高でした！！
ツアー当日は台風の影響で帰りの船が欠航になるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんがマメに運行状況をチェックしてくれて、安心してツアーを楽しめました。ありがとうございます(о´∀`о)
今回の旅行ではツアーは一つだけと決めてたので、ツアー選択は凄く悩んで決めたのですが、オーナーさんとガイドさんとで波を見ながら泳ぐポイントを決めてくれたり、疲れ具合を見てトレッキングしてくれたりと、凄く参加者の事を考えてくれる会社さんだと思い嬉しかったです♪このツアーに決めて大正解です！
送って頂いた写真を見ながら、旦那と楽しかった一日をよく話します(*´꒳`*)
また石垣島や西表島に行く時にはお世話になりますので、そこ際は宜しくお願いします！
素敵な一日を、ありがとうございました♪

I had a fulfilling and enjoyable day in the great outdoors. Fortunately, we were blessed with wonderful weather, and while traveling by car from the office, I was able to see a crowned eagle and some rare butterflies. It was my first time canoeing, and it took me a while to get the hang of it, but I was able to relax while enjoying the mangroves and the blue sky, which was a lot of fun. The view from the top of the waterfall was amazing, and the soki soba that was prepared for us was incredibly delicious. The trekking along the way provided a great opportunity for exercise for someone like me who doesn't usually work out, and it was enjoyable to hear about the nature of Iriomote from our guide. The time spent at the base of the waterfall after overcoming the somewhat challenging trek was simply the best. I swam as much as I could in the pool, jumped off rocks, and enjoyed the waterfall shower; it was truly fun. Even for someone like me who can't swim in deep water, having a life jacket made it no problem at all. On the way back, I felt more relaxed in the canoe than I did on the way there, and a day this fulfilling is rare. It became a lifelong memory.

大自然の中とても充実した楽しい1日が過ごせました。幸いにも素晴らしい天気に恵まれた上、事務所から車で移動する際に、カンムリワシや珍しい蝶を見ることが出来ました。カヌーは初めてて最初はコツを掴むのに時間がかかりましたがマングローブや青空を眺めながら最高にリラックスできてとても楽しかったです。登り切った滝の上からの景色は素晴らしく、作って頂いたソーキそばは美味しすぎました。道中のトレッキングは普段あまり運動しない私にとっていい運動の機会になりましたし、ガイドさんから西表の自然について聞くのも楽しかったです。そして、若干大変なトレッキングを乗り越えての滝壺での一時はもう最高の一言です。滝壺でめいいっぱい泳ぎ、岩から飛び込んだり、滝のシャワー浴びてみたり、本当に楽しかったです。足がつかないところで泳げない私でもライフジャケットがあれば何の問題もありませんでした。帰りのカヌーも行きしより慣れてきたのかよりリラックスでき、こんなに充実した1日はそうそうないです。一生の思い出になりました。

The water clarity around Balas Island is incredibly beautiful! The coral reefs are also amazing, making it feel like a dream world. I encountered sea turtles and clownfish while enjoying snorkeling. During our lunch break, we were introduced to a café called "Iriomote no Shonen," the only place on Iriomote Island where you can enter in swimwear, and I really loved both the food and the atmosphere! We also experienced an incredible downpour during that time. In the afternoon, we went on a mangrove tour by stand-up paddleboard. The instructor, Nakamura, who stayed with us from the very beginning, provided a warm and enjoyable experience, making it fun until the very end.

バラス島の海の透明度はもう半端ない綺麗さ！！
サンゴ礁も素晴らしく夢の世界にいる様でした。
ウミガメ、クマノミなども出会えシュノーケルを堪能しました。お昼の休憩では唯一西表島で水着で入れるカフェ「西表の少年」を紹介され、食事も雰囲気もとても気に入りました！その間ものすごいスコールも経験できました。
午後からマングローブツアーをsupにて行いました。朝イチからずっと付いて下さったインストラクターの中村さんの案内もアットホームで楽しく面白く最後の最後まで楽しめました。

I had a reservation for two with a friend, but I heard that a warm low-pressure system developed the day before, and on the day itself, the rain and wind were incredibly intense from the morning. They managed to go ahead with the tour, but due to high waves and strong winds, we could only do the mangrove SUP and the cave exploration.

Exploring the cave was quite an adventure, as it was so dark that without the helmet lights, we couldn't see anything at all—it felt like we were exploring a jungle. There were detailed and fun explanations along the way, and I learned a lot about nature.

The mangrove SUP in the strong rain and wind, which felt like a typhoon, offered a different atmosphere compared to sunny days. I got completely soaked, but once we entered the mangroves, I didn't feel the wind at all, and it felt like we were on another jungle adventure. The destination we reached on the SUP was the Kura Falls, which is said to bring good luck. Because of the heavy rainfall, we experienced a more dynamic atmosphere than usual, which was very moving.

I was anxious about participating in such strong rain and wind, but thanks to the rain, I had an experience that I wouldn't normally get to have. Rain is nice, but I also want to join on a sunny day next time!

友達と2人で予約していましたが前日に温帯低気圧が発生したとのことで当日は朝から雨風共に凄まじい状態でした。なんとか催行していただけるとのことですが、バラス島上陸は波が高く風も強いとのことで、マングローブSUPと鍾乳洞のみになってしまいました。
鍾乳洞散策は、本格的でヘルメットの灯りがないと全く何も見えないくらいまるでジャングルを探検するような楽しみがありました。途中途中で詳しく楽しい説明もあり、自然のこともよく学ぶことができました。
台風レベルに雨風強い中でやったマングローブSUPも晴れている時とはまた違った雰囲気を楽しめました。全身ずぶ濡れになりましたがマングローブに入ると風も感じることなくこれまたジャングルを探検しているような楽しい気持ちになりました。SUPで辿り着いた先は幸運を呼ぶといわれているクーラの滝でした。雨量が多かったこともあり普段の滝の様子よりダイナミックな雰囲気を体験する事ができとても感動しました。
雨風強い中で参加することになりどうなることかと不安でしたが、雨のおかげで普段体験することができないような経験ができました。
雨も良いですが、次は晴れの日にも参加したいと思います！

Iriomote Island was my first experience, and I was completely satisfied with the day after participating in this tour!
I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves, the negative ions at the Lucky Falls, landing on Barasu Island, and exploring the limestone caves, all while having a childlike sense of fun!
Mr. Komatsu, who was in charge, was very unique and made the experience even more interesting!
He took photos with the camera at various spots, allowing me to enjoy the tour with peace of mind!
When I visit Iriomote Island again, I would love to join a tour with ADVENTURE PiPi!
Thank you for the wonderful time!!!

西表島は初めてでしたが、このツアーに参加して大満足の1日でした！！
マングローブの中のSUPや幸運の滝でのマイナスイオン、バラス島上陸から鍾乳洞探検、久しぶりに子供心満載で遊ぶことができました！
担当していただいた小松さんがとてもユニークで、体験以外も面白くしてくださいました！
カメラでの撮影も至る所で撮影してくださり、安心してツアーを楽しめました！
次また西表島に訪れた際は、ADVENTURE PiPiさんのツアーに参加したいと思いました！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！！！

From snorkeling to SAP, there were plenty of activities to enjoy in the natural surroundings of rivers and waterfalls! The instructors were kind, and it was a safe tour that even beginners could enjoy!

シュノーケルからSAPまで、海川滝の自然の中で楽しめるアクティビティが詰まってました！
インストラクターさんも優しい方で、初心者でも楽しめる安全なツアーでした！

The journey to the limestone cave was filled with the essence of Iriomote Island, and even though it had just begun, the kids were already thrilled to be there. Upon entering the cave, it felt like something out of a TV show, with a high ceiling and water that required us to crouch down. We couldn't help but wonder how the first person ever managed to get through such a place.

After the cave, we landed on Barasu Island. Although it was just a landing, it was enough to refresh us after the tiring and sweaty experience in the cave. During our lunch break, we were directed to two restaurants; one was a bit fancy but crowded, and the staff warned that we might not make it back in time. The other place wouldn’t allow wet clothes, which left us in a bit of a bind. Just when we were worried about where to eat, we discovered a PiPi staff member! They informed us that there was a supermarket with bento boxes available. Seizing the opportunity, we bought bento and drinks at the supermarket and enjoyed a luxurious lunch by the harbor while looking at the sea.

After lunch, we embarked on an afternoon canoe tour. At first, we struggled and ended up bickering as a parent-child pair while heading towards the waterfall. By the time we reached the waterfall, we were already full from the tour but played with all our might. On the way back, we were so in sync that it felt like we could join a rowing club, and thus our adventure came to an end. Our guide, Kuri-chan, provided detailed and easy-to-understand explanations, making it a truly satisfying tour! Thank you very much!

鍾乳洞までの道のりは西表島感満載のジャングルで、まだ始まったばかりなのに参加して良かったーと子供達は大満足。
鍾乳洞に入るとテレビで見るような腰をかがめて通るような水面と天井が高い洞窟で、こんなところ最初の人はよく通ろうと思ったよねーの連発。
鍾乳洞が終わると、今度はバラス島に上陸。上陸のみでしたが、鍾乳洞での疲れと汗だくの体を癒すのに充分でした笑
そしてお昼休憩でしたが案内されたお店は2店舗で、1か所はちょっとオシャレなお店でしたが混んでいてスタッフに集合時間にはまにあわかもしれないと…もう一店舗のお店は濡れた服はお断りとの事…食べるとこがないなーと困っていたところPiPiスタッフの人発見‼︎その場所はスーパーでお弁当がありますとの事‼︎これ幸いとスーパーでお弁当とドリンクを購入し、港で海を見ながら食べるというなんとも贅沢なランチに変更‼︎
そしてランチが終わると、午後はカヌーツアーで最初は慣れずに親子ペアでケンカになりながら滝を目指します
滝遊びをする頃にはもうツアーもお腹いっぱいでしたが全力で遊び、帰りのカヌーもボート部に入れるんじゃないかというぐらい呼吸もあい旅も終了となりました
ガイドをして頂いたくりちゃんの説明も詳しくてわかりやすく本当に納得のいくツアーでした‼︎ありがとうございました‼︎

I was glad to learn about the names of rare butterflies and plants while canoeing through the mangroves. Thank you for taking photos at the waterfall and various locations as well. I would like to participate again.

　カヌーでマングローブの中を進む時、珍しいちょうの名前や、植物について教えていただけてよかったです。また、滝やさまざまな場所で写真も撮っていただきありがとうございました。
　また参加したいです。

This was my first time participating in an activity through Veltra. I decided to join because the reviews were originally good. There were many participants, but we split into teams and snorkeled at two points. A life jacket is mandatory and cannot be removed. It was also my first time with stand-up paddleboarding, but I had a great time! Thank you very much.

ベルトラからアクティビティの参加は初めてでした。口コミも元々良かったので参加を決めました。参加人数は多かったですがチームで別れてシュノーケル2ポイントしました。ライフジャケットは必須で外すのは出来ません。SUPも初めてでしたが、楽しく出来ました！ありがとうございました。

Our family's first trip to Iriomote Island. Considering the weather conditions after the typhoon, they suggested shifting our schedule by one day. We enjoyed a SUP experience in the mangroves and took commemorative photos at the waterfall. My 7-year-old son was excited and thoroughly enjoyed paddling while standing. The guide sent us the best shots individually in an album, which was touching!

During lunch, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm, but in the afternoon, we enjoyed snorkeling at Barasu Island under clear skies, taking in the beautiful scenery. With their thoughtful attention and friendly guided tour, the kids had a great time and we had a valuable experience. I will create a photo book with the pictures taken! Thank you very much!

家族で初めての西表島。台風通過後の気象状況を考慮してくださり、予定を１日ずらしては、との提案をしてくださいました。
マングローブをSUP体験しながら、滝での記念写真✨7歳息子も張り切りながら、立ち漕ぎを堪能していました。ガイドさんがベストショットを個別にアルバム送付してくださり、感激しました！！
昼食時には、スコール雷雨に見舞われましたが、
午後のバラス島シュノーケリングでは、晴天の下、美しい光景を満喫できました。
細やかな気くばりと、フレンドリーなガイドツアーで
子供達も楽しく、貴重な体験をさせていただきました
撮影していただいた写真で、フォトブックを作製します！ありがとうございました

I was completely satisfied with the sense of achievement from activities like canoeing, trekking, waterfall play, and exploring limestone caves! It was my first experience canoeing, but thanks to the thorough instruction, I was able to progress slowly while enjoying the view of the mangroves.

We received a lot of information about plants and creatures as we headed towards the waterfall, and the refreshing feeling when I dove into the waterfall was unforgettable!

Exploring the limestone cave was an incredible adventure, and I truly felt the greatness of nature that took thousands of years to form! I'm glad I participated and was able to experience the natural beauty of Iriomote Island.

カヌーやトレッキング、滝遊び、鍾乳洞の洞窟探検などなど達成感満載で大満足です！
カヌー初体験でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしてもらえたおかげでマングローブなどを眺めながらゆっくり進むことができました。
植物や生物などもたくさんレクチャーしてもらいながら滝を目指し、滝にダイブした時のひんやりさはたまりませんでした！

鍾乳洞は探検感すごく、何万年もかけて出来上がった自然の偉大さを感じました！
西表島の自然を体感できて、参加してよかったです。

It was a bit tough for us, who usually don't exercise and have gotten used to self-restraint, but we had a lot of fun participating. I bought two plastic bottles in advance, but I could have used three because I sweated a lot.

It was my first experience with canoeing, and we tried a two-person canoe. There was an explanation beforehand, so we were able to get on smoothly and it was enjoyable. The guide was friendly, and it was a very fulfilling tour.

普段運動せず、自粛慣れしてしまった私たちには少しキツかったですが、とても楽しく参加できました。事前にペットボトルを2本購入して持っていきましたが、3本あっても良いくらい汗をかきました。
カヌー初体験で2人乗りに挑戦しましたが、事前に説明があったのでスムーズに乗れて楽しかったです。ガイドの方もフレンドリーでとても充実したツアーでした。

I participated with my sixth-grade son. We received notice the day before that we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the waves, so we entered Iriomote Island with low spirits, but in the end, it was a tour that left both of us very satisfied with the active nature activities on Iriomote Island.

First, we explored the mangroves with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We enjoyed the journey while observing rare plants and creatures, taking our own routes, and occasionally, the tour guide would fall in with a splash, which added to the fun. Fortunately, I didn't fall in, but I was sweating while paddling.

Then, we entered the river and walked towards the waterfall. The water temperature was cool, and it felt really nice. I completely forgot that my sunscreen would wash off as I got drenched under the waterfall, haha. Since Barasu Island was canceled, we were originally supposed to stop here, but we decided to join the canyoneering in the afternoon, which was arranged on short notice. We swam, slid, jumped into the river, and did some rock climbing. My son was overjoyed, saying this was the most fun part of the trip.

Although rain was forecasted for the day, we were blessed with good weather throughout, and we had a great time moving our bodies while fully enjoying the great outdoors. The guide was very friendly and lively, and he safely led us through the activities. He also took a lot of photos for us. Next time, I definitely want to participate with my husband and the whole family.

小六の息子と2人で参加しました。
波の影響でバラス島には行けないと前日連絡があり、
テンション低めで初の西表入りしましたが
結果、西表島のアクティブな自然遊びに親子共々大満足のツアーでした。
まずはSUPでマングローブ探検。
珍しい植物や生き物を眺めながら思い思いのルートでまわり、時々ツアーの方がドボンと落ちるなど楽しみながら進んでいきました。私は幸い？落ちなかったものの汗だくで漕ぎながら進みました。
そして途中から川に入って歩いて進み滝打ち。
水温も冷たく、すごく気持ちよかったです。
日焼け止めが取れることも忘れて滝に打たれまくりましたっ笑。
バラス島が中止になったので本来ここまでですが、
急遽ご案内いただいたキャニオリングに午後参加することに。川を泳いだり滑ったり飛び込んだり、ロッククライムしたり。これが息子的には1番この旅行で楽しかったと大喜びでした。
この日は雨予報でしたが終始お天気にも恵まれ、また大自然を満喫しながら心地よく身体を動かせとても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方もとても気さくで楽しく盛り上げ、そして安全に導いてくださりました。お写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。
次回は是非、旦那さん含め家族全員で参加したいです。

On the day of the tour, there was a forecast for a typhoon, so I was worried about whether the ferry would run and if the tour would take place. However, it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, and I was able to enjoy the tour in clear weather! They also informed us in advance by phone about what to do in case the ferry didn't operate.

We visited the mangroves and the limestone cave, and it was exciting to explore in nature rather than on a path prepared for the tour!

Since the limestone cave has narrow and low passages, it's better to wear clothes that expose less skin!

We couldn't go to the Phantom Island, so I will try again next time! (If you can't go to Phantom Island, you will be properly refunded for that part!)

当日は台風の予報が出ていてフェリーが出るか、ツアーは開催されるか？など心配でしたが、無事に晴れ、ツアー中は快晴の中楽しむことができました！フェリーが出ない場合の対応も事前に電話でお知らせしてくれました。

マングローブと鍾乳洞に行きましたが、ツアー用に整備された道ではなく、自然の中を探検できたのが刺激的でした！

鍾乳洞は、狭くて低いところも通るので、肌の露出が少ない格好の方がよいです！

幻の島には行けなかったのでまた次回挑戦します！(幻の島に行けない場合はその分ちゃんと返金されます！)

When I came to Iriomote before, my children were not old enough, so I had given up on the tour, but I finally got to experience the long-awaited Pinaisara. The guide was very knowledgeable about the plants, animals, and mountains, and the conversations were enjoyable. My son, who can be quite demanding, was also encouraged to participate, and thanks to that, it became the best memory for us. The view from above the waterfall was more wonderful than I had imagined, and the power of the waterfall was incredible. The Yaeyama soba that the guide made and served was truly delicious, and I fell in love with Yaeyama soba as well. The canoeing was fun, and the entire tour exceeded my expectations. We were advised to prepare 1 to 1.5 liters of drinks per person in advance. We didn't drink that much since it rained a bit along the way, but the sun was quite strong during canoeing. It's also a good idea to have a hat for extra comfort. Thank you very much.

以前に西表にきたときは子供の年齢が達しておらず、
諦めていたツアーで念願のピナイサーラでした。
ガイドさんは動植物や山のことなどとても詳しく、お話も楽しかったですし、
わがままを言う息子も上手にその気にさせてくださり、
お陰様で最高の思い出となりました。
滝上からの景色は想像以上に素晴らしく、滝つぼの迫力もすごかったです。
そしてガイドさんが作って食べる八重山そばは本当に美味しく、
八重山そばも大好きになりました。
カヌーも楽しく、すべて期待通りかそれ以上のツアーでした。
飲み物は一人1リットルから1､5リットル事前に用意するように言われます。
うちは途中で雨が降ったりとそれほど飲まなかったですが、
カヌーは日差しがかなり強いです。
帽子もあったほうが安心です。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my girlfriend. It was more active than I imagined, and we had a lot of fun!! The tour guide, Junjun, was very polite but also entertaining, and he shared a lot of information about Iriomote Island. I would like to request Pipi again the next time I travel here.

彼女と2人で参加しました。
想像以上にアクティブで、とても楽しかったです！！
ツアーガイドのじゅんじゅんさんも
すごく丁寧だけど面白くて、色々と西表島の情報も教えていただきました。
また次に旅行に来た際はピピさんにお願いしたいです。
