My first SUP trek in Iriomote was a great experience - The day before the Ishigakijima Marathon, I thought it might be a bit hard, but I applied because it was a good day, but it was the best time along with trekking in clear weather. The first SUP experience was fun, coupled with the best nature, and it was also a great activity to hear many polite and in-depth stories from the guides about the charms of Iriomote, including plants and animals.

Fantastic World Heritage Scenery - I really enjoyed the clear water and the fantastic world heritage landscape of the mangroves as I slowly canoed. It had been a long time since I canoed, but the guide explained it to me in an easy way and I was able to get on it quickly. My family canoed and it was a very good memory for my family. The guide explained a wide range of things, including the animals and plants of Iriomote Island, and it was very educational. Thank you so much for coming today! We will definitely use it the next time you visit Iriomote!

It's like Ghibli, 🌳 - I joined Mu-san's (Kawamura-san) tour! It was a very mysterious view that you can never see in everyday life･･! It was a pity that we didn't see any fish in the rainy season and the cold, but it was good to see the powerful waterfall! Mu’s guide was also amused by a series of surprises, but there were private stories, and it was a very bright tour!! If I get another chance, I'd love to participate!

Canoeing in Iriomote Island - On New Year's Day, Ayu-chan, an instructor at Iriomote Island, was in charge of the canoe experience. First of all, we were thrilled to hear that from the moment we met until the end of the experience, everyone in the group called us by our last names! It was very impressive to see how passionately they were about Iriomote Island and plants during the canoeing experience and in the vehicles they were traveling in, and I felt their love for nature. It was the most fortunate thing for me to meet someone like that at the beginning of the year and teach him how to canoe. I would love to see you again and this time I would like you to teach me SUP. Thank you very much.

Mangrove SUP Experience - It was my first time to experience SUP, but the staff (Ayu-chan) was really nice and fun! The photos were also all good, and I wanted to ask for another one when it comes!

A lot to learn - Brought a kid along, Bandy guided him well on taking difficult paths and even carried him even not obligated to. He is very knowledgeable with the ecosystem of Iriomote from plants to natural habitants; shared a lot interesting knowledge with us.

Canoe Mangrove Tour by Ayu-chan - Despite the same-day booking, I was able to enjoy the canoe mangrove tour. The time and content were sufficient and we had a valuable experience!

Hatsuiriomote✨ - It was my first time on Iriomote Island! I was happy to learn so much legume knowledge that I would pass by if I went there myself! Kayaking in the mangroves was also a lot of fun! I wanted to come back again!

Wind strength important - I couldn't paddle as hard as the wind wanted, so I plunged into the mangroves and paddled my canoe as hard as I could, whimpering. It was a canoe for two people. You cross the river and then go into the mangroves, but during the crossing you are susceptible to wind. This was fun because the guide will correct the course properly, but if you want to take it easy, you should choose a day when the wind is not very strong.

Mangrove Canoeing in the Rain - A mangrove canoe tour in the rain that is said to be Iriomote Island. Navigating a canoe in wind and waves was harder than I imagined, but it was also a rewarding and interesting experience. Drifting on a canoe surrounded by mangroves in the drizzling rain was pleasantly special. The tour instructors were very grateful for their reliance and consideration of our plans for the rest of the year
