It was really cold with strong winds and rain, but the instructor was cheerful and reliable, which made it easy to participate without any worries. For lunch, they kindly offered to drive us to a local diner on the island when we expressed our preferences, which was great. Although we couldn't do the waterfall descent during canyoning, we were able to experience jumping into the water at various spots, which made the kids very happy. They also took safety precautions seriously, which was reassuring. The only downside was that the photos were sent late, and we had to follow up for them, but overall, it was a memorable experience. 悪天候でシュノーケルは中止となり、マングローブカヤックに変更。強風と雨で本当に寒かったですが、インストラクターさんが明るく頼り甲斐があり、不安なく参加できました。昼食は希望を伝えると島の定食屋さんまで車で送迎してくれる心遣いも◎。キャニオニングは滝降りこそできなかったものの、各所で滝つぼドボンを体験できて子供も大喜び。安全配慮もしっかりしていて安心でした。写真送付が遅く、催促後の対応だった点だけ少し残念ですが、全体的には思い出に残る体験でした。

Thank you so much for joining the tour!

We were disappointed that the snorkeling was canceled, but we are truly grateful that you were able to fully enjoy the mangrove kayaking and canyoning despite the strong winds and rain! Even in the harsh conditions where you said, "It was really cold," seeing your child joyfully splash into the waterfall pool gave us so much energy that we forgot about the cold! It was truly a great adventure that deepened your family's bond.

We are also glad to hear that you enjoyed the transportation for your meals! The local diner on the island was delicious, wasn't it?

On the other hand, I sincerely apologize for the delay in sending the photos, which may have dampened your excitement. We will work as a team to speed up the process so that we can deliver the best memories to you while the excitement is still fresh!

Next time, let's dive into the coral reef under the sun! All of us staff are eagerly waiting for the day we can reunite for a snorkeling adventure as a comeback!

We gathered at Uehara Port, and the transfer to the location was smooth. The guide carefully taught us how to paddle the canoe and important points to keep in mind, so even beginners could participate with confidence. The time spent quietly moving through the mangrove tunnel was mystical, and the sounds of birds and the gentle ripples on the water created a pleasant experience. The little stories shared along the way were interesting, changing my perspective on the island's creatures and plants, and I gained a lot of knowledge. Many foreign participants joined as well, but the guide was fluent in English, making the content enjoyable for all participants. After the tour, we moved to the office to take a shower, and then returned to the port to conclude the tour. Finally, the guide recommended some set meals, and when I tried them, they were absolutely delicious! シュノーケリングが中止になったので、マングローブツアーに変更しました。西表島のマングローブの自然を午前のみでしっかりと味わえる大満足ツアーでした。上原港集合で、現地への移動ももスムーズでした。ガイドさんがカヌーの漕ぎ方や注意点を丁寧に教えてくれるので初心者でも安心して参加できました。マングローブのトンネルを静かに進む時間は神秘的で、鳥の声や水面の揺れまで心地よい体験でした。途中の小話も面白く、島の生き物や植物への見方が変わり、沢山の知見を得ることができました。外国の方も多く参加していましたがガイ… シュノーケリングが中止になったので、マングローブツアーに変更しました。西表島のマングローブの自然を午前のみでしっかりと味わえる大満足ツアーでした。上原港集合で、現地への移動ももスムーズでした。ガイドさんがカヌーの漕ぎ方や注意点を丁寧に教えてくれるので初心者でも安心して参加できました。マングローブのトンネルを静かに進む時間は神秘的で、鳥の声や水面の揺れまで心地よい体験でした。途中の小話も面白く、島の生き物や植物への見方が変わり、沢山の知見を得ることができました。外国の方も多く参加していましたがガイドの方は英語に堪能で全参加者が楽しめる内容になっていました。ツアー後は事務所に移動して、シャワーを浴びて、また港に戻って解散の流れでした。最後におすすめの定食やなども教えていただき、行ってみるととても絶品でした!

I participated in the half-day snorkeling plan at Barasu Island. Since it was during summer vacation, there were a lot of customers, but thanks to the experienced guides, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The sea around Iriomote offered depths I had never experienced in past snorkeling tours, and I was moved by the wonderful coral I saw. If I get the chance, I would definitely like to do it again. Thank you, Yuuma.バラス島シュノーケリング半日プランに参加しました。
夏休み中という事もあり大変多くのお客さんがいましたが、ガイドさん達の慣れた進行で安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。

I was anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but the clear explanations made me feel at ease and I was able to participate in the tour confidently! The tour guide explained various things, making it a very enjoyable snorkeling experience. Since it wasn't low tide at Balas Island, we landed with water up to our ankles.

The coral was beautiful, and when I looked closely, there were many fish swimming around. I didn't see any sea turtles. Since we were on the same boat as about 20 people from other plans of the same tour company, it wasn't a private tour, but I still had a great time. 初めてのシュノーケルで不安でしたが、わかりやすく説明してくれて安心してツアーに参加することができました!
ツアーガイドさんがさまざまなことを説明してくれてとても楽しいシュノーケルになりました。バラス島は干潮の時間ではなかったので足首がつかる程度で上陸しました。
サンゴが綺麗で珊瑚をよく見ると魚がたくさん泳いでました。ウミガメは見えませんでした。
同じツアー会社の他のプランと同じ船に乗る(20人ぐらい)ので、プライベート感のあるツアーではありません。それでも楽しめました。

Barasu Island, formed by rising coral, was mystical. The water was crystal clear and shiny without any waves, which was amazing! I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which was said to have a 30% chance of being spotted, and it made me feel fantastic.

波もなく海の中がすけすけでツルツル光って最高でした!30%の確率で観れるかもと言われてたウミガメも運良くみれて最高の気分でした。ガイドさんのうっくんもとっても優しい方で海とうっくんのおかげで石垣島ラストDAY迎えられてとても嬉しく思います!次はキャニオング・マングローブツアーもPIPIさんで是非ツアー参加したいと思いました!また宜しくお願いします!

I experienced snorkeling and canyoning at Baras Island. We visited two spots, including Baras Island made of coral fragments and a beautiful sea with coral. I was thrilled to encounter colorful fish and even sharks. During canyoning, I walked through a subtropical forest, climbed cliffs, and enjoyed the thrill of jumping into the river and natural water slides! It was a bit scary, but the fun outweighed it.

I was hoping to go snorkeling, but due to bad weather, it was changed. What a shame.

In the morning, I went on a mangrove canoe tour guided by Matsushita, also known as Macchan. We paddled up the river with mangroves on both sides.

In the morning, I went on a mangrove canoe tour guided by Matsushita, also known as Macchan. We paddled up the river with mangroves on both sides. The current was gentle, and while listening to explanations about the island, we smoothly made our way forward, enjoying the magnificent nature. Before turning back, we landed on the shore to see some plants and a waterfall. On the way back, we relaxed and arrived at the estuary without having to paddle.

After a lunch break, in the afternoon, we went canyoning guided by Shogo. We walked over rocky areas, jumped in about three times, and slid down the stream. At the waterfall, we enjoyed being hit by the flow, going behind it, and fully experiencing the great outdoors! When climbing the rocks or jumping into the river, the guides carefully showed us where to place our feet, allowing us to play safely.

Canoeing and canyoning may seem difficult, but the guides pay close attention and teach you, so there were no injuries, and it's fine even for beginners. I think even elementary school students can do it. Since we came all the way to Iriomote Island, I believe it's better to leave it to the guides to fully enjoy the island's nature and play safely, plus they teach you various things about the island, which is very helpful.

This time it was winter, so unfortunately the weather wasn't great, but I was very satisfied. Especially canyoning is definitely worth doing at least once!

Also, they provide wetsuits, so it wasn't cold, and we could use the shower after the experience. We got to take a lot of photos as well. I was a bit anxious since it was an unfamiliar place and I was meeting the guides for the first time, but everything turned out to be great!

お昼休憩を挟んで、午後は翔吾さんガイドの元、キャニオニング。岩場を歩いて、途中3回ほど飛び込みをしたり、沢を滑り降りたりしました。滝では、流れに打たれたり、裏側へ回ったり、大自然を満喫しました!岩場を登る時や川に飛び込む時も、足の置き場まで丁寧に教えてくださり、安全に遊べました。

カヌーもキャニオニングも難しそうに感じますが、ガイドさんが細かく見てくれ、教えてくださるので、怪我もないですし、初めてでも大丈夫です。小学生でも大丈夫だと思いました。
せっかく西表島に来るからには、島の自然を満喫でき、楽しく安全に遊べるよう、ガイドさんにお任せしたほうがいいと思いますし、島の色んなことも教えてもらえるので、とても助かります。
今回は冬だったので、あいにくの天気でしたが、大満足でした。特にキャニオニングは一度やる価値有りです!

あと、ウエットスーツは貸してもらえるので寒くはないですし、体験後シャワーも使えました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。なんとなく、始まるまでは知らない土地だし、ガイドさんも初めて会うので不安でしたが、色々ハズレなし感でした。
