In the afternoon, we snorkeled from the beach and saw many fish and corals, although we could not go to Barasu Island due to strong winds.

I joined this tour with my husband. We enjoyed both canoeing and snorkeling from start to finish with spectacular scenery. This tour also made me rethink about the importance of nature and the need for protection. The guides were very enthusiastic in their explanations and we learned a lot. It was a wonderful experience that I would like to visit again.

The mangrove canoeing and snorkeling in Iriomote Island was seriously amazing! Exploring the mangrove jungle-like area by canoe was a real adventure. The guide taught us a lot of things, and I thought that nature is really amazing.

And the snorkeling was also great. The water is so beautiful, and the coral and tropical fish, just like in cartoons, spread out before our eyes. My friends and I were swimming around saying, "Wow! I was swimming with my friends. I was so lucky to be able to participate because I don't think I could have had such an experience very often. Thank you very much!
