Canoeing and snorkeling experience with three parents and children.

5.00I had the opportunity to canoe with my daughters and snorkel. I'm sorry that my oldest child got seasick. The sea was so beautiful and wonderful. Since the canoe had a capacity of three people, As we talked to each other I enjoyed going forward. I was surprised at how easy it was to explain in the mangroves. I would love to participate in the next one. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

5.00It was seriously SO much fun! First, the snorkeling at Barasu Island was absolutely next-level. The ocean was incredibly clear, and there were so many different kinds of fish swimming right next to us—it had my excitement through the roof the entire time! Then the mangrove SUP was such a unique experience. Being surrounded by nature like that felt amazing, and honestly, just messing around and having fun with my friends made it even better! The staff were super friendly, kind, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. They also took tons of photos for us, so we have great memories to look back on! It was honestly such an amazing experience that I 100% want to go again!
Thank you takahachi

5.00I had an incredible time on this full-day tour. Starting with snorkeling at Barasu Island (the "Miracle Island" made of coral) was magical—the water was crystal clear and the fish were vibrant. In the afternoon, we went SUP/canoeing through the lush mangroves. It was so peaceful and felt like being in a different world. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the nature here is breathtaking. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience the best of Iriomote in one day!
Thank you, Sia.

5.00The combination of a day snorkeling and snorkeling SUP (or canoe) tours in Zoroastro (Iriomotes Island) is highly appreciated for both beginners and family travelers. The guides are friendly and are loyal to nature, so you can experience both the sea and the river in a day. Meanwhile, the schedule may change due to the influence of weather and assistants. Overall very high satisfaction is a popular tour

5.00I had an amazing experience on this one-day World Heritage tour in Iriomote Island, exploring both the sea and the river. The combination of activities made it truly unforgettable. I especially enjoyed the SUP session through the mangroves. It was peaceful and gave me a close connection to nature. The scenery was beautiful, and it felt like a unique way to experience the island. The snorkeling at Barasu Island was also incredible. The water was crystal clear, and I was able to see so many colorful fish and coral. It was one of the best snorkeling experiences I’ve ever had. Most of all, Sen-chan’s guidance was absolutely the best. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour fun and safe. Thanks to him, the whole experience became even more special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iriomote Island!
