The worst tour.

I wanted to go, so I made a reservation the evening before. Most tours confirm via text message or phone call, so I thought it would be the same this time, but I didn't receive any contact, which made me worried. When I checked my email for confirmation, I saw a message saying to contact them within an hour of the reservation confirmation. If I didn't, it would be a paid cancellation.

I tried to reach out immediately after seeing the email, but I couldn't get through. When I finally did get in touch, I was yelled at in a very angry voice. I was able to participate in the tour, but it felt like I was being scolded throughout, and I couldn't enjoy it. It was the worst tour. 行きたいと思って、急遽前日の夕方に予約しました。ほとんどのツアーは、わかりやすくショートメールや電話を頂いての確認だったので、今回もそうだと思ってましたが、連絡がなく心配となり、予約の確認のためメールをチェックをしたところ、予約確定後から1時間も無い間の内に連絡をくださいと。連絡がなければ、有料キャンセルとなるとのメッセージ。メールを見てすぐ連絡しても連絡付かず。やっと連絡がついたと思ったら、すごい剣幕の声で怒られる。とりあえず、ツアーに参加出来ましたが、ツアー中も怒られている感じで、楽しめなか… 行きたいと思って、急遽前日の夕方に予約しました。ほとんどのツアーは、わかりやすくショートメールや電話を頂いての確認だったので、今回もそうだと思ってましたが、連絡がなく心配となり、予約の確認のためメールをチェックをしたところ、予約確定後から1時間も無い間の内に連絡をくださいと。連絡がなければ、有料キャンセルとなるとのメッセージ。メールを見てすぐ連絡しても連絡付かず。やっと連絡がついたと思ったら、すごい剣幕の声で怒られる。とりあえず、ツアーに参加出来ましたが、ツアー中も怒られている感じで、楽しめなかったです。最悪なツアーでした

I had the experience of kayaking and trekking. The kayaking was a bit short, and the trekking was a light exercise. I think it's recommended for those who prefer a little bit of exercise.

However, there is one point that requires attention. The ferry to Iriomote Island has a very limited schedule, and I thought I had made my reservation accordingly.

We progressed through the mangroves by canoe and then trekked to Pinai Sara Falls. Along the way, they provided explanations about the flora and fauna and took photos at various points. They even used a 360-degree camera, which was quite innovative. After enjoying handmade Yaeyama soba for lunch, we took a boat to Barasu Island, where we also took commemorative photos. After that, we snorkeled at a snorkeling point for as long as we wanted until time was up.

道中、動植物の解説を交えながら、ポイントポイントで写真を撮ってくれます。
360度撮れるカメラでも撮ってくれて、なかなか工夫がされています。
ご主人手作りの八重山そばでランチをした後は、バラス島まで船で行き、そこでも記念撮影。
後は、シュノーケリングポイントで時間が来るまで好きなだけシュノーケリング。西表の海はサンゴがお花畑のように美しくて、海ガメとも遭遇できてとっても楽しかったです。

The day before, I was surprised to learn that if I didn't reconfirm within a limited time, it would be a forced cancellation. During the phone call, I was told, "You know where to meet for the rental car, right? It's by the statue of the wildcat," and I was left speechless... However, when I actually met the guide, he was a seasoned professional who gave off a reassuring vibe, just like the old days!

However, when I actually met the guide, he was a seasoned professional who gave off a reassuring vibe, just like the old days!

After our greeting, he suddenly emphasized multiple times, "It's tougher than you might imagine," which I think should be mentioned in the tour details... This is essential information to know before participating in the tour. That's why I decided to write this review.

Since it was scorching hot, I recommend that parents in their 40s and 50s who are desk workers and not used to physical activity really prepare themselves for the summer heat. It's a very enjoyable tour, so I think kids will be just fine! The waterfall was breathtaking and absolutely wonderful!

Also, during low tide, you have to pull the canoe and walk quite a distance on sandy ground, so I believe it could be quite challenging if you don't check the timing. When we went, we barely managed to walk about 20 meters, so we made it back safely. 前日、限られた時間に、こちらからリコンファームしないと強制キャンセルとのことで、驚きました。電話の際も「レンタカーの集合は、やまねこの銅像のとこ、わかるでしょ？」と言われ唖然・・・。でも実際お会いすると、「納得な」感じのベテランのガイドさんで、昔ながらの頼りがいのある方でした！！

炎天下ですので真夏はかなり気合いれて参加してください＠デスクワークで体動かしていない４０～５０代のお父さんお母さん。とても楽しいツアーですのでお子さんは全然大丈夫とおもいます！！滝は圧巻ですばらしかった！
なお、干潮時は、カヌーを引っ張ってかなりの距離、砂地歩くのでこの時間帯を確認しないと大変なことになると思います。私らの時はギリギリ、２０ｍほどあるく程度ですんだので、生還できました。

The water surface was calm, making it easy for beginners to get on the canoe quickly. The guide's explanations about the mangroves and the island's creatures were clear and kept us engaged. Swimming in the waterfall pool was also refreshing. The Yaeyama soba we had at the café run by the guide after the tour was delicious.水面が穏やかでカヌーは初心者でもすぐに乗れるようになりました。
マングローブや島の生き物などのガイドさんの解説も分かりやすく飽きることはありませんでした。
滝つぼでの水泳も気持ちよかったです。
ツアー後にガイドさんの経営しているカフェで食べた八重山そばも美味しかったです。

Given my age, I chose the half-day course, and it was the right decision. I couldn't climb any higher than that. As for the canoeing, I wonder if the course is unique. I had plenty of time to enjoy it. It was during the rainy season, but there was only a light drizzle. I can imagine that if it had been clear and sunny, it would have been much more exhausting. Thank you for your help.年齢も有り、半日コースにしましたが正解
あれ以上は登れません
カヌーについては、コースが独自のコースなのか

梅雨期間でしたが、パラパラ程度の雨で
曇りがち、快晴だったらもっと体力を奪われているだろうと
想像がつきます。

In the end, it was a great decision. Although it was a bit cloudy, they were able to enjoy a pleasant half-day. Since it was just the two of them with the guide, the instructions were clear and easy to understand for the elderly. Even though they said it would be their last time, they found themselves wanting to come back again. ６３歳と６２歳の夫婦が最後に挑む冒険として、西表島を選びました。カヌーはここ５年間、四万十川、宮古島等で体験、登山も同じく、富士山、屋久島島等で体験していますが、そろそろ最後かなと夫婦で相談しこの地を選びました。その結果、大正解でした。少し曇りがちでしたが。気持ちの良い半日を過ごすことができました。ガイドの案内は私たち夫婦のみでしたので年寄り相手に解りやすく案内していただきました。最後といいながらまた来たいと思ってしましました。

Our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, had a tough appearance but was very kind. It wasn't just about trekking or snorkeling; I learned a lot about Iriomote Island, plants, and animals, making it a very satisfying day. Also, the PM Sea plan included canoeing and trekking while I still had energy, which was just right.

I definitely want to go again.ガイドの岩本さんがこわもてなのに

I was picked up at the port and taken to a nearby shop to prepare for the kayaking tour. As a beginner in kayaking, I received thorough instructions and was able to enjoy the experience.

We paddled along a majestic river, taking breaks along the way to hear about the mangroves, which left me impressed by the strength and beauty of nature. We kayaked to the trekking point, and from there, we walked towards the Pinaisara Falls. Climbing and navigating rocky areas was a bit challenging for us, as we are not very active, but it was a lot of fun as we took photos at beautiful spots.

Our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, was very knowledgeable about the mountains and shared stories about various creatures and plants. When we arrived at Pinaisara Falls after walking the mountain path, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. The falls, with plenty of water from the previous day's rain, were truly magnificent, and I enjoyed the great outdoors while cooling off in the waterfall pool.

We returned the way we came, floating down the mangrove river, which showed a different face than on the way in, and went back to the shop to enjoy handmade Yaeyama soba. The gentle broth was soothing to our tired bodies. There is also a supermarket nearby where you can buy snacks and souvenirs. The pineapple ice cream on a stick that I bought here was very delicious.

After lunch, we headed to Barasu Island, where we picked up coral and took commemorative photos before heading to a nearby snorkeling spot. I was very moved to see beautiful coral reefs, colorful fish, and, if lucky, even a sea turtle. We were guided to spots with anemones where Nemo lives, large table corals, and beautiful coral areas, and time flew by. We also had underwater photos taken, creating wonderful memories of snorkeling.

It was a packed tour, so we didn't have much time to take photos ourselves, but Mr. Iwamoto used a 360-degree camera, a regular camera, and an underwater camera to take many pictures, allowing us to reminisce as we looked back at them.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience. I hope to participate again while my parents are still healthy. 石垣島から日帰りで参加しました。

山道を歩いてピナイサーラの滝に到着した時にはすごく達成感がありました。
前日の雨で水量たっぷりのピナイサーラの滝は本当に素晴らしく、滝つぼで体をクールダウンさせながら大自然を満喫しました。

昼食後はバラス島へ、こちらでは珊瑚を拾ったり記念撮影をし、近くのシュノーケリングスポットへ向かいます。
美しいサンゴ畑や色とりどりの魚、運よくウミガメにも会うことができてとても感動しました。
ニモの住むイソギンチャクや、大きなテーブル珊瑚、きれいな珊瑚のスポットにも案内していただいて、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
水中カメラでも撮影をしてくださったので、楽しいシュノーケリングの思い出が出来ました。

盛りだくさんのツアーなので、自分たちではなかなか写真を撮る余裕もないのですが、あちらこちらで360度カメラや普通のカメラ、水中カメラを駆使して岩本さんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださったので、見返しては思い出に浸っています。

本当に素敵な体験をさせていただきありがとうございました。
また両親が元気なうちに一緒に参加できたらと思います。

I also remember that while we were paddling, he explained the types of mangroves and vegetation in a very detailed and careful manner, which was very interesting.

2. Trekking
- The course was a bit challenging even for us in our 30s, but it was an extraordinary experience that left us very moved. Mr. Iwamoto took photos and used a 360-degree camera at appropriate times, allowing us to focus on the trekking. The breathtaking view from the waterfall was unforgettable!

3. Snorkeling
- After finishing the trekking and enjoying homemade Yaeyama soba, we set off from the port on a private boat. The sea near Barasu Island was truly wonderful, and it was the most impressive snorkeling experience I've ever had. We also encountered a sea turtle, and Mr. Iwamoto's explanation that "the encounter rate with sea turtles is 100%" turned out to be true!

Overall, we were very satisfied with the attentive guidance and the fact that the photos were shared with us on the same day. If we have the opportunity, we would definitely like to participate again. 今回、私たちにとって初めての西表島でしたが、最高のツアーになりました！

3. シュノーケリング
・トレッキング終了後、お手製の八重山そばを頂いた後に、港から貸し切りのボートで出発。バラス島付近の海は、本当に素敵で、今までのダイビング・シュノーケリングの中で最も感動しました。またウミガメとも遭遇し、岩本さんの「ウミガメとの遭遇率は100%」という説明は、本当でした。笑

総じて、とても丁寧にガイド頂き、また写真も当日中に共有頂くなど、大変満足しております。また機会があれば是非とも参加したいと思います。

Since the half-day provided just the right amount of exercise, I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Iriomote until the last ferry, making it the best day ever. They also sent me a lot of photos that same day! ツアーだけでなく、レンタカーで西表全体を周りたいと考えていた為、半日ツアーを申し込みました！
10時から13時まで無駄な時間なく、カヌー、トレッキング、ピナイサーラの滝、全部楽しむことができました！！ガイドがとてもわかりやすく、西表の独自の生態系を学ぶことができとても有意義な時間でした！カニさんもかわいかったです〜〜**半日でちょうど良い運動量だった為、フェリー最終便まで西表観光も楽しむことができ最高の1日となりました。その日のうちに沢山の写真も送ってくださいました！

I made a reservation for this tour because there was a campaign on Veltra. It was my first time in Iriomote Island, and I wanted to experience something unique to the island. The guide was friendly and taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, which was very informative.

During the tour, we discovered interesting crabs and an incredibly large clam, so we had fun beyond just trekking and canoeing. Both canoeing and trekking were harder than I expected, but it was manageable (laughs). The waterfall was said to have a height of 55 meters, but it seemed even taller when viewed up close. It was overwhelming to see it so closely, as you don't often get that opportunity. I went in mid-October, so the water was cold and I couldn't swim, but others were swimming quite a bit. Since it was a half-day tour, we could make effective use of our time, and I highly recommend it. If you're considering it, definitely go for it! veltraでキャンペーン中だったのでこちらを予約しました。初めての西表島で、西表島っぽいことをしたいと参加しました。ガイドさんは気さくで西表島のことを色々教えてくださり、勉強になりました。ツアー中、面白い蟹やものすごく大きいしじみを発見したりとトレッキングやカヌー以外でも楽しめました。カヌーもトレッキングも思ったよりハードですが、なんとかなります（笑）肝心の滝は落差55ｍとのことでしたが近くでみるともっとあるように思えます。あそこまで間近に見ることがないので圧倒されました。10月中旬にいったので水が冷た… veltraでキャンペーン中だったのでこちらを予約しました。初めての西表島で、西表島っぽいことをしたいと参加しました。ガイドさんは気さくで西表島のことを色々教えてくださり、勉強になりました。ツアー中、面白い蟹やものすごく大きいしじみを発見したりとトレッキングやカヌー以外でも楽しめました。カヌーもトレッキングも思ったよりハードですが、なんとかなります（笑）肝心の滝は落差55ｍとのことでしたが近くでみるともっとあるように思えます。あそこまで間近に見ることがないので圧倒されました。10月中旬にいったので水が冷たく私は泳げなかったですが、他の方は結構泳いでいました。半日のツアーなので時間も有効に使えますし、おすすめです。検討しているかたは是非！

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time on my honeymoon. We were able to kayak for about an hour together, and it was a fulfilling experience. We also got close to the Pinaisara Falls and enjoyed the great outdoors! We took a lot of photos, making it a memorable tour!ハネムーンで西表島に初めて来ました。
カヤックは2人で1時間ほど漕ぐことができ、充実した時間でした。
ピナイサーラの滝も近くまで行くことができ、大自然を満喫出来ました！
写真も沢山撮っていただき、思い出に残るツアーでした！！

It was great to have a small group!

It was a half-day course, but I was extremely satisfied! Since it was a small group, it was easy to move around, and thank you for taking so many photos＾＾ I ended up with full-body muscle soreness, and I really think the half-day course was perfect… haha. If I have the chance again, I would love to do it! Thank you very much!半日コースでしたが、すごく大満足でした！
少人数だったので動きやすかったですし、写真も沢山撮ってくださりありがとうございました＾＾
全身筋肉痛になり、半日コースで本当よかったと思います…笑
また機会があれば、お願いしたいです♪
ありがとうございました！

My 6-year-old son also had a great time!

This was my second time kayaking with my 6-year-old son, but he still struggled to paddle, and I ended up doing most of the work. We had quite a distance to cover, and with the wind pushing us, I paddled desperately, resulting in sore thighs and arms that night (laughs).

The trekking felt like climbing a bumpy mountain trail using my whole body. At this time of year, it wasn't enough exercise to break a sweat.

We had quite a distance to cover, and with the wind pushing us, I paddled desperately, resulting in sore thighs and arms that night (laughs).

The trekking felt like climbing a bumpy mountain trail using my whole body. At this time of year, it wasn't enough exercise to break a sweat. I think it would be tough in the peak summer heat, but the view of the waterfall we reached and the misty water spray felt refreshing. Some other tour participants jumped into the plunge pool, but the water temperature was quite low, so I stopped at about waist-deep (laughs).

My son was a bit hesitant about joining the tour, but when I said, "Let's go on an adventure to find the elusive waterfall!" he seemed interested and was eager on the day of the tour. Surprisingly, he wanted to climb the rocky mountains and try entering the plunge pool, which made it fun.

If you're participating from Ishigaki Island, it might be better to either make a reservation at a restaurant or bring your own lunch. All the restaurants near Uehara Port were fully booked, and the supermarket was sold out of bento boxes.

The guide was very knowledgeable about the local area and introduced us to various plants and animals along the way. It was helpful that we could take a break at the shop while waiting for the return boat.

It was a valuable experience that you can't have back home. I would love to participate again if I have the chance. 6歳の息子とカヤックに乗るのは2回目でしたが、やはり息子はうまく漕げず、ほぼほぼ1人で漕ぎました。
結構な距離があったのと風に流されそうになり、必死に漕いだ結果その日の夜から太ももと二の腕が筋肉痛になりました（笑）
トレッキングもデコボコの山道を全身を使って登る感じでした。
今の季節であれば汗をかくほどの運動量ではなかったです。真夏は流石にキツいと思いますが、たどり着いた滝の景色と霧状の水しぶきが気持ちよかったです。他のツアーのお客さんは滝壺に飛び込んでいる方もいましたが、結構水温が低かったので腰くらい… 6歳の息子とカヤックに乗るのは2回目でしたが、やはり息子はうまく漕げず、ほぼほぼ1人で漕ぎました。

ツアー参加にちょっと渋っていた息子ですが、「幻の滝を見つけに冒険に行こう！」というと興味が湧いたようで、当日は張り切っていました。
思いの外、自力で岩山を登ったり滝壺に入ってみたい！と積極的で楽しかったようです。
石垣島から参加の場合、昼食は予約が取れる店であれば予約をしておくか、石垣から持参しておいた方が良いかもしれません。上原港近くの飲食店はどこも満席で入れず、スーパーもお弁当類は売り切れていました。
ガイドの方は地元を知り尽くした方で、道中動植物の紹介もしてくれました。帰りの船の待ち時間もショップで休憩させてもらえて助かりました。
地元ではできない貴重な体験でした。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

The weather was great, and it was the best! Since it was my first time canoeing, I struggled a bit at first, but once I got into the river, it was easy and I could paddle leisurely. The highlight, the Pinaisara Falls, had a perfect water flow due to the rain the day before, and it was very impressive! My daughter took a bit longer during the trek, but our guide was very kind and adjusted the pace to help her. Since we were slow, we barely made it to the 2:30 PM ferry on the way back, but we had … The weather was great, and it was the best!

カヌーは初めてだったので、最初は少し手こずりましたが、川に入ってからは楽チンでのんびりゆったり漕いで行けました。
肝心のピナイサーラの滝は前日までの雨で水量もバッチリで迫力満点！
道中のトラッキングは娘が少し時間かかりましたが、ガイドさんが手を取ってゆっくりペースを合わせてくれたのでとても親切でした。
ペースが遅かったので帰りの14時半のフェリーが結構ギリギリになってしまいましたが、日帰りでも十分楽しめました！
オススメのツアーです！

The trekking and canoeing were both authentic experiences, and I had a very fulfilling time. It was my first time, but the thorough explanations made me feel comfortable participating. We were able to take breaks along the way, so I enjoyed listening to the explanations at a relaxed pace.

There were also families with small children, so I can recommend this to a variety of people! You can take a shower, and the attached café looks delicious, so after finishing in the morning, you can have a meal… The trekking and canoeing were both authentic experiences, and I had a very fulfilling time.

You can take a shower, and the attached café looks delicious, so after finishing in the morning, you can have a meal before joining the next activity. It's within walking distance to Uehara Port, so I think you can have a great time even on a day trip!

This was definitely a tour shop I would like to use again. トレッキングもカヌーも本格的で、とても充実した時間を過ごすことが出来ました。初めてでしたが、丁寧な説明で安心して参加することができました。
途中途中で休憩もはさんでいただけるので、ゆっくり説明を聞きながら楽しめました＾＾
小さなお子様連れの方もいたので、いろいろな方にお勧めできます！
