Our tour consisted of four people: two in a canoe and two on a SUP. The weather was cloudy and pleasantly cool.

The hotel pick-up was smooth, but once we arrived at the spot, we found water inside the canoe and had to wait for a replacement. As a result, the tour started about 30-40 minutes late, but we moved from the sea to the river on the canoe/SUP, got off to walk and explore up to the waterfall, and despite getting soaked in the rain along the way, it turned out to be a wilder experience tha…

私たち(2人)はカヌー、もう2名はSUPの4名でのツアーでした。天気は曇り、涼しいくらいの気温。

ホテルの送迎はスムーズでしたが、スポットに移動したらカヌーの中に水が入っており、交換を待たなければいけないアクシデントが。そのためツアー時間が30-40分ほど後ろ倒しになりましたが、海→川をカヌー/SUPで移動し、一度降りてその先の滝まで歩いて探検と、途中雨も降ってずぶ濡れになりながら思っていたよりはワイルドな2時間強となりました。

Morning canoeing is the best!

This time, I couldn't find time during the day, so I signed up for the Sunrise Canoe, and it was the perfect choice!
1. The sunrise was incredibly beautiful.
2. It was cool.
3. I could enjoy nature and have the guide all to myself (it was not crowded).
4. The tranquility of the morning brought a unique sense of nature, with the sounds of wildlife.
5. It was a great use of time (I was able to participate before taking the 9:00 boat back).

Both guides were kind and shared a lot of interesting knowledge about plants and animals. I learned so much about the nature of Iriomote. They took many photos, and all of them were really great! Thank you, Hayata and Shun!
今回、日中に時間がとれなくてサンライズカヌーに申し込みましたが、これが大正解でした^^
①朝焼けがめちゃくちゃ綺麗 
②涼しい
③自然とガイドさんを独占できる(空いている)
④朝ならではの静けさの中の自然感、鳴き声とか
⑤時間の有効活用(9:00発の船で帰る前に参加できた)
ガイドさんはお二人とも親切で、植物や動物のいろんな知識を教えてくれて面白かったです。西表の自然のことたくさん知れました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださって、どれもすごく良い写真でした!
はやたさん、しゅんさんありがとうございました!

Thank you for participating in the night tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi!!

I am very happy to have been able to lead the sunrise tour, which I also love! The time spent paddling on the river in almost a private setting went by in a flash!

I hope that my tour has left some memories from this trip!

The island of "Iriomote," a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a wonderful place where you can have many unprecedented experiences in life, so please come back to visit again!!!

Paddling the kayak towards the sunrise was an emotional moment! It became the most memorable part of my trip. The weather was also favorable.朝日に向かってカヤックを進めていく瞬間、感動的でした!
旅行で一番印象に残った内容になりました。
天気にも恵まれて

It was the best situation.

On the day, there were a few clouds, which made it take some time to see the sunrise, but it rained a little, and we got to see a big rainbow, creating the perfect situation. The guide took many great photos, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it just right for the sunrise in Iriomote Island. I would love to request the same guide when I go again.当日は雲が少しかかり、サンライズ観るまでに時間がかかりましたが、その分少し雨が降って大きな虹が観れて最高のシチュエーションとなりました。
ガイドの方もたくさんいい写真を撮ってくださり、雰囲気もゆったりとしていて、西表島のサンライズにピッタリでした。
次に行く時も同じガイドさんにお願いしたいくらいです。
