Recommendation
Clothing and personal belongings
(1) Towel
A towel to wipe your body wet with water or sweat is essential. Prepare several absorbent towels. A sports towel or bath towel for after activities is also a good idea.
(2) Hat
A hat is a good idea. A hat will protect you in case of sudden rain. A hat with a string is recommended to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a necessity because the sun in Iriomote Island is very strong.
(4) Clothing that can get wet
Canoeing basically gets you wet, so be sure to wear a bathing suit or clothing that you don't mind getting wet.

8/15西表島のカヤック＆シュノーケリングに行って来ました。天気も良く、マングローブを間近で見れ、シュノーケリングでは透き通る海を体験できて、とても良い思い出になりました。ツアーを担当してくれた、かいりさん、とても親切で、体験しやすい環境を作って下さり、ありがとうございました！

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!
lulu (mythical Chinese bird)
I joined the Barasu Island snorkeling & mangrove canoeing tour!
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.

We enjoyed real katan on the beach surrounded by the great nature of Iriomote Island. The experience of working together as a team to collect trash and advance the game while enjoying the view of the mangroves was exceptional. The program was a fusion of environmental protection activities and games, and we had a lot of pictures taken, making it a great memory for us!
man of valour (valor)
A field day on the beach surrounded by the great nature of Iriomote Island! Environmental protection activities were also incorporated in the program, and we were able to learn the importance of protecting the beauty of nature. I was able to have my picture taken with lots of smiling faces, and it became a memory that will last a lifetime!

The beach cleanup on Iriomote Island was impressive, working in the midst of a special landscape of mangroves! While picking up trash accumulated by the tides, I felt a real sense of participating in the protection of the great nature. It was a wonderful experience that made me feel connected to nature!

It was an experience filled with valuable learning and a sense of fulfillment. In the first classroom lecture, we received detailed explanations about the nature and environmental issues of Iriomote Island, and were able to gain a deep understanding of the island's attractions and challenges. In the beach cleanup that followed, we were able to experience a sense of accomplishment from being able to directly contribute to environmental protection with our own hands, and it also gave us an opportunity to rethink how we deal with nature. Since this was a company trip, it was a good choice because we were able to have a valuable experience that we could not have had just by sightseeing.
