The mangrove canoeing experience on Iriomotejima Island that my family participated in was a fun way to spend time in contact with nature. Children could safely ride the canoe, and the whole family enjoyed it. The guide was kind and explained everything in detail, so even beginners could feel comfortable participating. We also received free photo data, which was a wonderful memory for our family. The plan included a ferry ticket, so it was a great value for money!

I joined the plan to experience both mangrove SUP and canyoning, and I really enjoyed both! Especially, the canyoning experience was thrilling and great to dive into the waterfall. The guide was very supportive, so even a beginner could have fun without worries. Thanks to the ferry ticket included in the package, it was convenient to travel from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, and the cost was quite reasonable. A day to feel the great nature with all my body was the best memory!
