Iriomote Island Barasu Island Snorkeling & Mangrove SUP or Canoe 1-Day Experience (Okinawa)

I joined the Yubu Island day tour with mangrove canoeing and had a great experience. Special thanks to Matcha for being very responsible and clearly reminding me of the meeting time during the Yubu Island visit. As the only foreign guest in the group, his attentiveness made me feel very safe and comfortable. Also, thank you to Cocoro for leading the mangrove canoe tour. She was very professional, caring, and knowledgeable about the local geography and plants. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. Wonderful trip with amazing guides. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable experience in Iriomote, a wild island and UNESCO World Heritage Site! Snorkeling among spectacular corals and colorful fish: a true underwater paradise. Kono, our instructor, was amazing – friendly, super attentive, and with excellent English that made every explanation clear and engaging. Yume, the photographer, gave us wonderful shots: thanks to her we’ll keep unique memories forever. After snorkeling, we explored the mangroves by kayak. Even at low tide, Kono made the tour fun and fascinating, sharing lots of insights about wildlife and nature. As a final surprise, he introduced us to the delicious pineapple popsicles – perfect after the adventure. Breathtaking nature, flawless organization, and an outstanding team: highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the best of Iriomote!

Highly recommended, the coach KONO was nice and sincere, great view around the river and in the sea. KONO was very patient. When I was struggling in the sea, he taught me to relax and use the gear to breathe gently. The corals and fishes were great and stunning. Overall a 11 out of 10.正啊屌你

Super recommended tour, when kayaking it was raining a bit and it made the experience even more beautiful. Mangroves with rain were truly amazing! In the snorkeling we saw many colorful big and little fishes/coral and even a huge sea turtle that we loved to see. Shoma (our guide) was very kind and nice to us and had a great english level. He helped us to find that sea turtle :)

Kono was our tour guide, and the activity was enjoyable and satisfying. His English is incredibly fluent. I'm from Taiwan, so communication wasn't a problem☺️. Today, we saw unique crabs🦀 in the mangrove area and had fun canoeing🛶. While snorkeling, we saw a variety of fish and coral, and even a sea snake🐍! 👍! Don't hesitate, just come here and have fun!

Experience: The activity schedule was very well organized. It would be even better if there was a bit more time for snorkeling. Equipment: The equipment was complete and felt very safe. Instructor: The instructor's guidance was clear. Location: Absolutely beautiful.

Our tour guide Akari was great! Had an amazing time snorkeling! Communcation was great. It was easy to meet and they sent us pictures and videos that they took during the tour very quickly. Thank you!

We didn’t get to do the barasu snorkeling due to weather, but our afternoon-mangrove guide Ayu-chan made the trip perfect! she’s very professional, passionate and speaks perfect English. We had a good time on the water and she explained many fun facts about the mangrove, the creatures and the island. recommended!

Due to weather conditions, the snorkeling tour was canceled. However, I was deeply impressed by staff’s commitment and professionalism, especially by Daisuke-kun, who communicates in a perfect English. The Mangrove canoeing was not my first choice upon booking, but the landscape really thrilled me. It’s worth it!

The scenery is beautiful, the trip is safe, canoeing is fun, the sun is strong, so be careful about sun protection. Your pants will get wet, so it's best to bring extra clothes to change into.
