Mr. Sea Turtle / 10s Posted on 2024-07-23

We participated in the Yubu Island sightseeing and Barasu Island snorkeling in Iriomote Island. For the Yubu Island sightseeing tour, we rode on a bus together and the guide who drove us around talked a lot about the local area and gave us trivia about the island. The guide was very considerate of the fact that I had injured my foot on Yubu Island, so he lent me a pair of shoes so that my foot would not hurt when I put on my fins. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy snorkeling without feeling much pain. They also took a lot of photos of us and sent us all the photos later. They took care of my health many times during the tour and it was a great memory. It was a lot of fun. I would like to go back.
