SUP and canyoning on Iriomote Island were absolutely amazing!! Exploring the vast jungle was so exciting, and during the canyoning, I had a blast screaming my head off on the natural obstacle course!!! Since the ferry ticket is included, getting around was super easy, and I was hyped up the whole day!!! You absolutely have to try this!!!
The facilities were great. We were able to efficiently enjoy both fishing for long-armed shrimp and hiking to the waterfall in just half a day. The guide’s instructions were precise and practical. However, the mountain trails were a bit slippery, so you need to watch your step. I’m very satisfied.
No matter where you look, there are nothing but breathtaking natural landscapes! Paddling through the mangroves on a SUP was a mystical experience, and descending the crystal-clear stream while canyoning let me take tons of super stylish photos! The ferry ride is included, making transportation a breeze—I highly recommend this if you want to create Instagram-worthy memories!
The vast natural landscape stretching as far as the eye could see and the tranquility of the mangroves truly cleansed my soul. As I paddled along the calm river on my SUP and touched the crystal-clear water while canyoning, it felt as though the hustle and bustle of daily life was slowly melting away into the forest… Including the ferry ride, I was able to spend a truly peaceful, happy, and restorative time. The photos I received are also precious treasures to me…
The mangrove SUP and canyoning were definitely the right choices. The ferry ticket was included, so getting around was a breeze, and it was awesome to fully experience the great outdoors of Iriomote Island. I’m so happy I even got some photos to take home.
I used this tour the last time I visited Ishigaki Island and was so impressed that I decided to book it again this time for a package packed with activities on Iriomote Island. As always, the guide’s support was outstanding, and I was able to fully enjoy both the tranquil world of the mangroves and the thrills of canyoning. The ferry tickets were included, making transportation a breeze, and it’s a fantastic tour that never disappoints, no matter how many times I take it.
