Nightstroll along the coastline and looking for the Irimote cat. Good organised group tour.

A short walk a long the jungle coastline looking for crabs, snakes and some animals quite visible under UV lights. After the stroll, cruising witht the tourbus in hope of seeing the Irimote wildcat. In think the chances are low due to small population on this big island. Pick up and drop off at your accommodation, which was great due to bad weather. Good organised and structured tour, I think the guide has much to tell, but speaks English very little. I was the only foreign person in the group. Thank you.

I was worried about the impact of the typhoon, but it was sunny and I enjoyed it. The guide dropped us off at the hotel and we went to the jungle first with three groups of five As soon as I got out of the car, I got a coconut crab!! This is a good start and tension 🆙 You can find saxophone hubs, crabs, spotted scorpions if you walk. I was so excited. ※Long sleeves and long pants are better because there are spiny plants in the jungle. We went through the jungle and out on the beach and looked at the sky and saw the stars in the sky!! Stars beyond imagination It was a moving starry night. It was all very satisfying and very moving.

We went on a night tour as well as a day tour. Yume-san was in charge at that time too, and it was a great tour! I was wondering if I could see the stars, but I was able to see a perfect starry sky, palm crabs and hermit crabs, a natural monument. Speaking of travel, going out for dinner is one of the best things to do, but I’m glad we had such fun on the night tour too 🌟 thank you so much for giving us some pictures!

A trip to Iriomote Island for the new moon to see the stars in the full sky. Through the jungle where I was taken, I found myself on an empty beach, and when I looked up at the sky, I saw the starry sky I wanted to see. Impressive ... When I was there until it was really dark, I saw the full starry sky, the Milky Way for the first time. And shooting stars. I forgot to try lying down, but I'll keep it when I join again. Thank you •⁠‿⁠•⁠!!!
The best night tour in the world!

It was our first night on tour! Not only did I get to know the nature of various Iriomote islands because I never walk in the jungle at night, but I also enjoyed going around with another family who participated with me thanks to Mr. Seki (our guide)! I was also very happy to see a perfect starry sky! When it comes to what we can see and what animals we can meet on different days, I thought it would be fun every day, and I thought it would be wonderful to have a guide who can make the day the best 👏

I spotted the Japanese flying fox at dusk. You can break into the bushes and encounter the crabs and the stalked spiders one after the other! Turn off the lights and you might even meet the great striped firefly larvae, or the big palm crab if you listen carefully and follow the signs of the yab. It was an experience unique to the island where living things live firmly. Seki-san Uru-chan thank you ~ It was fun.

The guide Seki was interesting and the children enjoyed participating in the tour. I couldn't see the Iriomote cat, but it was a valuable experience to see creatures that I can't usually see, such as palm crabs and fireflies.

We saw 6-7 big coconut crabs at the banana trees for first time in our life. Our guide brought us to a beach which has full of crabs which were laying eggs into the sea. Our group is small and our guide, Yuina, took care with patience.
The kids were very happy with it!

My parents had a great time with my 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter. It was a late course so I was worried about the mood on the tour, but I was so excited to meet so many creatures that I enjoyed participating until the end. Everyone was so kind and I am so grateful for sharing my photos that day. It was great to see the starry sky, palm crabs and other rare insects. I would love to participate again.
We had the best memories of our family!

My family took the first trip to Iriomote Island. An eight-year-old son who loves living things and a naughty three-year-old son were also left impressed to see tropical creatures in the real jungle. A small group of people were able to take a leisurely stroll to ensure that even small children could participate safely. Our guide, Mr. Seki, happily and gently encouraged our sons, who were getting tired along the way, and we enjoyed it to the end. I was very impressed by the sheer number of stars in the dark night sky.
