5.00The canoe I experienced on Iriomote Island for the first time was a relaxing time thanks to the gentle Matsushita-san's guide. It was my first time canoeing, but I was able to go around the magnificent mangrove forest with peace of mind thanks to the careful explanation. It was the rainy season, but I will never forget that I did not see the rain and was able to taste the extraordinary in the scenery surrounded by the great outdoors. I remember playing pictures of the tour that they took and seeing them was fun~♪. This activity is recommended for first-timers. Even on Yufushima, which I crossed in a buffalo car, time passed slowly and I was very relaxed. It was good to hear the sanshin. As the boatman said, I thought it was interesting just to listen to the buffaloes who knew their jobs and understood, or even human stories. What was a little surprising was that I found a guide who told me that shoulder signs in Kesennuma washed up over a period of nine years after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Living in Miyagi Prefecture, we felt a strange connection. We had a very relaxing and precious day together. Thank you very much. If you are visiting Iriomote Island for the first time, I think this is a highly recommended activity.
Thank you very much.

4.00Thank you very much for your help this time. The instructor Okun smoothly received, guided, and intra-intractored the tour, and we enjoyed participating! ※I thought I had chosen the sup tour, which I was able to clear due to my age, but the confirmation call the day before told me that I could not sup over 60… a shame. I wish I had known it through the booking process.
It was great.

5.00The Mangrove Kajak Tour was such a unique and wonderful experience! Everything was very well organized. Ryoma was a very thoughtful guide, who explained everything with much patience. Yubu Island is also worth a visit: It is a lovely, little island and the waterbuffalo tour is great fun! You can really feel the magic of Iriomote with this experience!
