The tour was Ok. We saw everything that was promised. Only concern is that the total walking distance that we went through the forest was super short, just a few hundred meters. I wish it was longer so we could see more wildlife.

We did a jungle night tour with a guide in a group of nine. Yuha and her very energetic guide were in charge this time! We gathered at the main entrance of the remote island terminal at Ishigaki Port and drove for about 20 minutes to the pitch-black jungle without street lights. Inside the train, the guide told us about Ishigaki Island, about living things, about remote islands, and about fun things we had never known before. On the Jungle Night Tour, we met lots of creatures including Habu, palm crabs, purple crabs and more! I thought Yuha, the guide, really likes living things!! He was like a doctor. Thank you so much for the fun memories!!

Join the starry sky and night tour on the first day of Ishigaki Island. It was a pity that I couldn't see the stars in the overcast sky. The night tour also saw palm crabs I was very satisfied.

Truly a beautiful and once in a lifetime experience to be gazing out at the starry night sky and seeing all these amazing creatures. We were picked up at ishigaki port terminal by the Adventure PiPi team and driven out to the hiking site which was 30mins away in a remote part of the island. Throughout our trip, our tour guide, Sebastian, was informing us of all the fun facts, wildlife, and etc about Ishigaki island. He also took the time to get to know each of the groups which was a very nice touch as I was pretty nervous about the trek. My woes were quickly dashed as we realized that we were in expert hands. We were able to see so many cool creatures such as small scorpions, tropical insects, a sleeping blue bird, pupae, and of course a ton of coconut crabs! The hike was low-medium impact with easy to navigate terrains. By far the most stunning thing was the view of the starry night sky. It was breathtaking as we were lucky to catch a cloudless sky with no moonlight. The skies were speckled with tons of stars and we were also able to see the milky way! Many thanks to our amazing tour guide Sebastian for his incredible work! He truly made our experience one to remember. The Adventure PiPi team is also the best! We had done The Phantom Island Snorkeling experience with them the day prior and that was also a stand out experience! Highly recommend both experiences! Thank you so much Sebastian and the Adventure PiPi team for making this trip one to remember! ✨

The animals were amazing, we saw tons of giant coconut crabs, night birds, and different species of reptiles. The English guide Yuki was very good and helped me find the animals I was most interested in!
