I joined snorkeling and canoeing with my 4th grade son. It was a busy day because of the summer vacation, but the PiPi guides were very efficient and we were able to enjoy our time freely without crowding. Our guide, Mickey, was very knowledgeable about both coral reefs and mangroves, so my son, who is in 4th grade, and I, who is an adult, could enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island. We were blessed with good weather, but it was truly a memorable day, thank you Mickey! I recommend this tour for all ages!

I was anxious because I am a snorkeling beginner and cannot swim, but our guide, Kiyoto, carefully and gently guided us and made the experience enjoyable.
The handsome guide, Kiyoto-san's wonderful smile made the trip even more memorable.
