the tour was great !! Our guide Ten was on time for pickup. Ten was very friendly and explain everything very well :) we had the chance to see a scorpion and a snake which is rare ! but also a big coconut crab and giant spiders 😆

We were a group of 1 adult and 2 children visiting Ishigaki. Although it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see the starry sky due to too many clouds after the typhoon (we originally expected to capture beautiful starry skies), the jungle and beach exploration still made both the children and adults happy. The tour guide was young, energetic, and enthusiastic. Below are the reviews from the two children. Brother: I had fun during the jungle tour. I saw a sea snake in the water near the shore, lots of hermit crabs, and my favorite, a coconut crab. The ghost crab was the hardest to find, and we also saw a butterfly pupa and even a hider crab. Overall, it was really fun and exciting. Sister: It was very fascinating to explore this jungle I’d never seen. Exploring new areas and animals and learning the history of this island was very eye-opening. The tour guide was very insightful and friendly, and he also knew how to speak English and communicate with us.

This was such a great experience. The staff spoken English well enough. We had a lady working with our group the whole time who took videos and pictures for us so we could just enjoy the whale shark snorkeling. Truly amazing to watch this beauty in his natural habitat.

Although the itinerary was a bit hot, it was very interesting! The night jungle adventure was something my child had never experienced before! The guide, Xin Jiang, picked us up from the hotel and was incredibly enthusiastic. Along the way, we saw all sorts of insects, including butterflies, frogs, large spiders, and stick insects. Coconut crabs were harder to find, so Xin Jiang took us to see the stars instead. He worked very hard to take photos for each group, truly dedicated! The pictures turned out amazing! It's really hard to capture stars with a phone camera. Finally, on the way back, Xin Jiang found a baby coconut crab. Although it was small, we still got to see one!

Instructor: Leia Safety: I felt confident and pleased that the pre-survey was thoroughly conducted via QR code. Location: The fireflies were abundant and fantastic within walking distance. Experience: I didn't have high expectations since I had experienced fireflies in Bohol, Philippines, but this was overwhelmingly better, and everything was truly perfect. Equipment: Even though it was raining, I was touched that they rented out clean rain boots that fit my size.

I give the 5 stars service mostly for our guide i(Jensen) for his tring everything to show us what he could in the walk and on the beach. He waited for all groups left so we could see the perfect sky full of stars. The highlight of the tour is we could capture the moment of sea turtle laying eggs on the beach! we could see it solely due to the guide’s dedication to his work and his passion to the nature! the only thing the tour should pay attention to is the air-conditioning of the minibus.

Was a very fun experience. Instructor was knowledgeable, friendly, and was able to fluently communicate with the group. We started in a big group and a portion of the group had to return back to their vehicle. She was able to help them out while the rest of us continued searching for wildlife. She did mention what to look out for and there was other groups around so it still felt safe. She returned and continued the tour. We were lucky that another group was able to find the coconut crab so a lot of people got pictures in. It was a windy and cold night, finding the crab was harder than normal.

For our honeymoon, we visited Iriomote Island for the first time, and as soon as we arrived, we joined a firefly tour. I had seen a few fireflies in the countryside when I was very young, but my wife had never seen them before. As dusk fell and it grew darker, fireflies began to appear one by one, and soon every space we looked at was filled with them. It was an unimaginable, truly rare experience. I don't know how many chances we'll have in our lives to encounter fireflies again. If you visit Iriomote, I highly recommend experiencing this!
