5.00The trip was very beautiful, we started with a short drive to the national park area, then we canoued along the mangroves and trekked to the the top of the waterfall, Hiro-san cooked a delicious meal and we went to the bottom of the waterfalls to have a dip and canoued back. The scenery througout was wonderful. He was very knowledgable about the nature and we had great conversations. Pick up and drop off worked well. Thank you!

5.00We had the best time today! Even with heavy rain, Hiro made sure we got the most out of our time in Iriomote. He was a local, and very knowledgeable of the wildlife and pointed out so much along the way. We didn't go up to the top of the waterfall because of the rain, so instead he took us to a different one elsewhere and still cooked us ramen for lunch, which was delicious. Hiro's english was also great, and the whole way was full of relaxed conversation. The kayaking and hike were absolutely beautiful, and a must-do for anyone coming to Iriomote. Would highly recommend!

5.00This is worth every penny. The guide fortunately took us from another location. The kayaking was stunning, around 30 minutes on a river not very crowded (since only 200 people per day are allowed to go to Pinaisara falls). The hike was good for occasional hikers and the views were so great! Lunch was supreme on top of the waterfall and also the hike back was great. Absolutely recommend this.

5.00The trek and canoe through Iriomote National Park with Hiro was nothing short of amazing. We had not planned to do a tour but decided last minute to book one in and it ended up being one of our favourite days in the whole trip. Hiro was such a bubbly and knowledgeable guide. You can tell he really loves what he does - sharing about the nature of Iriomote with the new people he meets. He made us some amazing yaeyama noodles at the top of the mountain and took great photos of us during the whole day. I would 100% recommend this tour!
An outstanding, unforgettable jungle experience. Highly recommended.

5.00Our very knowledgeable, very child-friendly, and humorous guide safely led us along incredible jungle paths, through dried-up stream beds with partly steep climbs to a breathtaking view above the waterfall. Once at the top, he cooked us a delicious ramen soup and finally led us to the base of the waterfall so we could take a bath there. He told us a lot about the local plants and showed us special features and many animals.
Awesome experience!
