I rode a trike on a trip with my boyfriend♪ It felt so great to ride together with the wind in our hair, and the view from Mt. Yarabue was absolutely stunning☆ We made some wonderful memories!
The trike handled well. The panoramic view of Mt. Yarabue was beautiful. The shuttle service made getting around easy. However, it’s hard to ride when the wind is strong, so sunglasses would have made it perfect.
I took part in a combined SUP and canyoning tour on Iriomote Island. The tour included ferry tickets, so I was able to enjoy the great outdoors very efficiently. The guide provided thorough instruction, and I was very satisfied with the experience.
Both the mangrove SUP and canyoning were such huge adventures—I had so much fun!!! It even came with a ferry ticket—Taipa is the best, and it was seriously the best!!!! ★
Great value for the price, including the ferry fare. The combination of mangrove SUP and canyoning lets you really enjoy nature. However, the changing area after canyoning was a bit cramped. Overall, I was satisfied.
The kids were absolutely thrilled by the canyoning. Thanks to the guide’s attention to safety, our whole family was able to enjoy an adventure in the great outdoors. However, since it’s quite physically demanding throughout the day, I think it would have been perfect if the breaks in between had been a little longer.
Based on the time of day and the nature of the experience.
