A college student, an elementary school child, and a mother participated.
With time to fly at 8:00 p.m. on the last day, we left Ishigaki Island at 8:30 a.m. and went to Iriomote Island to kayak and explore limestone caves, which was very satisfying.
The guides, Mr. Machan and Ms. Kaede, explained trivia about the nature of Iriomote Island to us and took many family photos for us.
Canoeing 🛶 in the mangroves, trekking 🪖 in the limestone caves, I enjoyed nature in a way you can't in Kansai✨.
We had some trouble with our reservation, but Kaede-san and Rukusa-san were very resourceful and accommodating. I loved Iriomote Island and everyone at Pipi. I would like to participate again 😊.

We all attended together for my husband's birthday.
Snorkeling on a coral island and riding on a buffalo cart were very special experiences that I will always remember. I am thinking about what to have them do for my birthday next time.

I participated in this event with my high school classmates. Iriomote Island was so natural that everyone was too excited. It was the best trip where we couldn't stop laughing.
I joined the tour alone, but I was able to go on a jungle cruise and explore limestone caves, which I had never been able to experience before.
I had a great time and am glad to have had a very good experience.
The pictures of our guide (Mal) on his adventures were great memories.
