1.00The direction of seasonal sunrise met from the mountains, so time was needed more than sunrise time. He was accompanied by a family who had booked a ferry first thing in the morning, with a two-hour journey on the website. As a result, the tour ended because they could not wait until sunrise because they were told they wanted to be back in their hotel before 8 o'clock. As this tour is for nature, we would like to ask for more confirmation so that you can participate in the tour in time.

Early morning canoeing while listening to birds

5.00I was able to take a pleasant canoe walk in a sticky calm that I didn't think was after the typhoon. Abe-chan's guide takes you for a walk on the water while watching mangroves in the morning haze. Sagaribana also floats on the water, and you can hear the casque of red kingfishers from all over the forest. All you hear is the birds. At the end, I paddled out to sea and relaxed. "Wake up early is a three-pronged virtue," was the best time of luxury. I'm sure he'll come again.

4.00The ferry became quite popular and I quickly booked an early morning tour. Despite the sudden reservation, they were kindly taken care of and we had a pleasant time. It was about spending early morning canoeing through mangroves, but the atmosphere changed on the way back and forth, and I was able to go to places that could only be reached by canoe, so it was very memorable. I would love to use it again if I had the chance!

5.00I went on an early morning tour. I started at 6:30 before sunrise. As it was early morning, I was the only one in attendance, so I was able to enjoy the mystical atmosphere at my own pace and early morning! My guide was Ayu-chan, who taught me not only about mangroves but also about the island. I was able to tell that I like Iriomote Island and enjoy it so much that I could enjoy it even more 😊 I didn’t think the early morning tour would be such a good thing, and it became a great memory! Thank you very much.

5.00We were watching the weather forecast until the last minute, and despite asking for a tour the evening before, they were happy to accept. The tour is great. I've never known how beautiful it is to welcome a sunrise over the ocean from a full starry sky before dawn. I was a little worried about the SUP in the dark, but I was relieved to be guided to a place where the sea and the river were calm. It was great to see jellyfish, sea turtles and stingrays through the clear water even after dawn. Thank you for your valuable experience.
Beautiful mangrove

5.00I asked for some activity before boarding the boat to Hatoma, and the guide's brother was funny, the sunrise was beautiful, the mangrove canoe was too pleasant, and it was just great! I thought it was kind of him to check the schedule behind me and go around the points while allocating time. Thanks to this we were able to safely board the hotel breakfast and the boat to Hatoma✨ Thank you!
