Sunset Mangrove Tour

5.00Despite the heavy rain in the morning, the rain stopped in the afternoon, and by the time of the tour, the sun was fine and the sun was showing its face, giving us a fistful. Is this Japan or is this Japan? I was able to see the magnificent mangroves up close! It was the first time in my life that I could canoe, but I was taught how to row in a way that was easy to understand. We enjoyed canoeing in the tranquil river and the spectacular sea while listening to the guide talk and it was a great memory! Thank you very much.
Iriomote Island Sunset SUP Tour

5.00I went on the Sunset SUP Tour in Iriomote Island for the first time. I was a little nervous because it was my first time to visit SUP itself, but my guide, Sato, showed me how to stand up and I was able to stand up immediately. The tour was laid-back, and the time spent paddling through the mangroves was very soothing. I was particularly impressed by the sunset time, and the sunset I saw while floating above the sea was truly beautiful and beyond description. They also took a lot of photos and it was a good memory. Overall, I think it is a tour that beginners can enjoy with peace of mind. I was a little worried because it was originally forecast to rain, but I was really lucky that the weather improved on that day and I was able to see a beautiful sunset. It is highly recommended for those who want to relax in nature or create special memories.

5.00I was allowed to participate alone. There were other tour participants, but I am happy that they were able to have a fun tour that even one person could fully enjoy. It's been two weeks since I joined the tour, and I'm still enjoying looking at the photos you gave me. Thank you, Seki, for the fun tour 😊 Thank you for all the photos! I was happy to hear your advice on where to have dinner after the tour, and to suggest that I can enjoy Iriomote Island such as watching fireflies! I couldn't go drinking, so I'll come again next year ☺️I'd love to drink then!

5.00I had the best time watching the beautiful sunset from the sea. Thanks to two female guides who both treated me well, my 5-year-old daughter was able to enjoy nostalgia immediately. They also worried about dinner and we found delicious Okinawan food safely. The photos are also very beautiful and I would like to ask if there is another opportunity.
Impressive sunset SUP experience 👍

4.00I visited Iriomote Island, which I wanted to visit after serving as a honeymoon for 3 nights from July 13th to 16th. During my stay, I enjoyed mainly stargazing, trekking, kayaking and other activities, and joined pipi's Sunset SUP to conclude my evening trip on the last day of the trip. It was my first SUP experience, but I was able to enjoy it without anxiety thanks to the kind instruction from two instructors, Tossie and Deluxe! As for the important sunset, unfortunately there were too many clouds on that day to see the "Best Sunset", but I was able to experience the spectacular scenery enough and was impressed! I hope Tossie-san always enjoys us participants again! I love Iriomote Island because of the positive comments and instructors themselves! I was glad I applied because it conveyed an atmosphere of “This is what I want.” Iriomote Island is a wonderful place to spend meaningful time forgetting our daily lives, where we can encounter nature and precious plants and animals that are unique. Thank you very much for this time, I hope to visit Iriomote Island again someday!
Fantastic.

5.00There were a few clouds, but it was a fantastic world, stained with the beautiful colors of dusk, reflected on the sea surface and the horizon was lost. It was good to experience it.
Unfortunately, the sky was clear.

4.00Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the sky, but we were able to explore to see a small waterfall. It was my first time at SUP, but I enjoyed it, as my guide had found it recently, and the tides were just right.
Super nice experience
