It was great because everything I wanted to do was packed into one day!
I was impressed that we could cross the island by buffalo!
The canoeing may be a bit lacking for those with some experience, but I appreciated that the guide tried to show us a lot of things while taking into account our experience differences: ☺️
If you have only one or two days to spend in Iriomote Island, or if it is your first time in Iriomote Island and you don't know what to do, you would like to experience the beauty of Iriomote Island in one day! I highly recommend this tour for such people!
Thank you very much ☺️

I joined the Iriomotejima Mangrove Canoeing & Yubu Island Tour with my family. It was our first experience of canoeing, but we enjoyed it very much with careful instruction. On the way, we got off the canoe to observe the mangrove and met many creatures, which excited my children. We were able to experience that animals and plants live in various forms in the great nature.
The buffalo car ride to Yubu Island was also a relaxing experience.
I appreciate that the photos from the tour were sent to my phone right away.
Thank you very much for the instructor, Mr. Yamachan. I was able to participate in the tour without any worries and had a very valuable experience.

We went to Yubu Island for sightseeing and snorkeling at Barasu Island for two days!
The sea was muddy due to rain the day before, but we could see beautiful corals and clown fish. On Yubu Island, we were able to ride on a water buffalo, which was different from the one on Taketomi Island, and it was an extraordinary experience!
PIPI gave us many good memories!
Thank you!

It had rained unfortunately the day before, but the waterfalls were swollen thanks to the rain, and it was very mysterious.
The guide was very kind and supportive, so even though it was my first time doing this activity, I was able to enjoy it without any worries.
Thank you very much. I hope to come back and visit again.

It was a day full of mangroves.
In the morning, the waterfalls were powerful and breathtaking.
The mangroves in the afternoon were also fun with a different view.
I would like to try other tours next time I come here.
