We did the kayaking and trekking tour to the highest waterfall. It was amazing, the views were gorgeous! Minato Iwamoto is a great guide and is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the environment. He also made sure we felt happy and comfortable. Would very much recommend!

Thank you very much for the other day.Although it was a cloudy day and we could only see a few stars, it was a very relaxing time to experience the great nature of Iriomote Island. Time passed quickly as we took photos and heard many stories about Iriomote Island. I would like to participate again and come to Iriomote Island.

I went snorkeling with my family.The two children (4th grade and 1st grade) were quite nervous as it was their first time snorkeling, but the owner talked to them and showed them the tricks, and in no time they were completely absorbed. I was chasing fish. I was very satisfied because he was very knowledgeable about the spots where you can see sea turtles, clownfish, etc.It seemed like the kids had so much fun that they didn't want to go on board even though we told them it was over.We also landed on Barras Island.You can also rent a shower after you're done, and there's also a Yaeyama soba shop next to it.The shop owner also speaks in a very pleasant manner and the space is very comfortable.Both soba and juice are very delicious.recommendation! !

My family and I participated in a half-day snorkeling experience. It was a wonderful experience to see beautiful coral reefs, colorful fish, and even sea turtles (hawksbill turtles).Two staff members took me there, and they were both very kind and fun to talk to. The children, who were very knowledgeable about living things and loved living things, said they enjoyed hearing all sorts of stories and talking about them was just as much fun as snorkeling.I look forward to working with you again if you have the opportunity.
