5.00I was allowed to participate alone. There were other tour participants, but I am happy that they were able to have a fun tour that even one person could fully enjoy. It's been two weeks since I joined the tour, and I'm still enjoying looking at the photos you gave me. Thank you, Seki, for the fun tour 😊 Thank you for all the photos! I was happy to hear your advice on where to have dinner after the tour, and to suggest that I can enjoy Iriomote Island such as watching fireflies! I couldn't go drinking, so I'll come again next year ☺️I'd love to drink then!

5.00I had the best time watching the beautiful sunset from the sea. Thanks to two female guides who both treated me well, my 5-year-old daughter was able to enjoy nostalgia immediately. They also worried about dinner and we found delicious Okinawan food safely. The photos are also very beautiful and I would like to ask if there is another opportunity.
Impressive sunset SUP experience 👍

4.00I visited Iriomote Island, which I wanted to visit after serving as a honeymoon for 3 nights from July 13th to 16th. During my stay, I enjoyed mainly stargazing, trekking, kayaking and other activities, and joined pipi's Sunset SUP to conclude my evening trip on the last day of the trip. It was my first SUP experience, but I was able to enjoy it without anxiety thanks to the kind instruction from two instructors, Tossie and Deluxe! As for the important sunset, unfortunately there were too many clouds on that day to see the "Best Sunset", but I was able to experience the spectacular scenery enough and was impressed! I hope Tossie-san always enjoys us participants again! I love Iriomote Island because of the positive comments and instructors themselves! I was glad I applied because it conveyed an atmosphere of “This is what I want.” Iriomote Island is a wonderful place to spend meaningful time forgetting our daily lives, where we can encounter nature and precious plants and animals that are unique. Thank you very much for this time, I hope to visit Iriomote Island again someday!
Fantastic.

5.00There were a few clouds, but it was a fantastic world, stained with the beautiful colors of dusk, reflected on the sea surface and the horizon was lost. It was good to experience it.
Unfortunately, the sky was clear.

4.00Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the sky, but we were able to explore to see a small waterfall. It was my first time at SUP, but I enjoyed it, as my guide had found it recently, and the tides were just right.
Super nice experience

5.00It was my first canoeing experience, but the guide carefully taught me how to understand it and I enjoyed it with peace of mind! The mangrove forest was very quiet, very mysterious, with only the sound of water pedalling through the canoe. Also, the stories about the nature of Iriomote Island and the Yaeyama Islands that the guide told me were very interesting. This time, I would love to experience it again in a different season!

5.00It was my first time on Ishigaki Island. We went to the mangroves of Iriomote Island, which I've always wanted to visit. The weather was good that day, and we were lucky enough to be the only family there, so we were able to leisurely explore Iriomote Island while listening to the creatures and history of the island, which was great! And it was a mystical power spot and a great place, even more so than I'd imagined, and I immediately fell in love with Iriomote Island. It's farther than it looks in the pictures, but you should really go there♪ The tour guide was very polite and taught me a lot of things, so it was a great trip. It's an island I want to visit again!
Iriomote Island is a World Heritage Site with magnificent nature and kind people

5.00We applied for canoeing because our child was not yet old enough to experience SUP, but they prepared one canoe and one SUP so that adults could take turns experiencing SUP, and we were able to enjoy it (^^) Also, when we tried to bring our smartphone, they told us that it was dangerous if it was not waterproofed, and we were able to avoid the worst case scenario of it being submerged. If you want to bring your smartphone, please take measures such as waterproofing it before bringing it. Our guide, Bandy, also told us about Iriomote Island on land, and even on the water, he carefully spoke to us, taking into consideration the plants, topography, and water depth, so we are very grateful! Although our family lost the ability to take photos, he took a lot of wonderful photos, and the other participants in our team were also nice, so it was a very good memory ~♬ When they took us to the inn, they checked the entrance so that we didn't have to carry heavy luggage, and their kindness made us happy (o^^o) We would like to use their services again when we visit! ︎Thank you ♪
