Our favourite day in our trip!

5.00The trek and canoe through Iriomote National Park with Hiro was nothing short of amazing. We had not planned to do a tour but decided last minute to book one in and it ended up being one of our favourite days in the whole trip. Hiro was such a bubbly and knowledgeable guide. You can tell he really loves what he does - sharing about the nature of Iriomote with the new people he meets. He made us some amazing yaeyama noodles at the top of the mountain and took great photos of us during the whole day. I would 100% recommend this tour!
An outstanding, unforgettable jungle experience. Highly recommended.

5.00Our very knowledgeable, very child-friendly, and humorous guide safely led us along incredible jungle paths, through dried-up stream beds with partly steep climbs to a breathtaking view above the waterfall. Once at the top, he cooked us a delicious ramen soup and finally led us to the base of the waterfall so we could take a bath there. He told us a lot about the local plants and showed us special features and many animals.
Awesome experience!

5.00Incredible 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

5.00The 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.
