5.00This trip was far beyond my expectations! Our guide, Ryoma, was professional, friendly, and always willing to help. The SUP experience was amazing and so much fun. Everything was well organized, and we had a fantastic time. I highly recommend Pipi’s tours and would definitely join another one on my next visit.
Wonderful trip through the mangrove

4.00It was so fulfilling and fun that I felt it was over so quickly. It was a snorkeling and mangrove canoe cruising tour, but unfortunately, due to the time, snorkeling was not possible. The alternative was Yufushima or canyoning, so it was only half a day, but I wanted a one-day canoe alternative. This time, I want to do it again at different times. For the photo, another guide from pipi was AirDrop, so I hope it's AirDrop too. AirDrop remembers information such as location so you know where you've been. There were not many photos taken by the two of us, so it was a good idea to bring a smartphone.

5.00I was blessed with the weather without wind and canoeing experience! Maybe it was a good time to do so, as no one but our group was in the mangroves, we enjoyed it in a private setting☺️ I was grateful to have a shower and changing room! I left something in the car, Thank you so much for bringing your guide to the port 😭 I want to use it when I visit Iriomote Island again 🙂↕️
Mangroves are the best.
