Incredible experience kayaking and trekking in the jungle. The only tour available in English that we found that takes you to the amazing Pinaisara waterfall. Hiro was amazing, and the noodle lunch on top of the waterfall was also great

The mangrove kayak & waterfall hiking tour in Iriomote with Fam Fam was truly remarkable. The tour guide’s deep knowledge of the local fauna, nature and wildlife made every moment engaging and educational. From being photographed along the way to enjoying a delicious homemade soba meal prepared by the host, the entire experience felt warm, welcoming, and genuine. The hike itself is fairly intense and includes climbing steep rocks but every step is rewarded with breathtaking views that look almost unreal, as if carefully arranged by nature itself. The 6-hour tour flew by and never felt dull for a moment. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Iriomote and looking for an authentic, immersive full-day adventure.
