Iriomote-jima, Ilha Barasu: snorkeling e SUP nos manguezais ou experiência de 1 dia de canoa (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, Coach KONO was nice and sincere, with great views 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 fish were great and stunning. Overall, an 11 out of 10. Absolutely fantastic!

Super recomendado el tour, cuando hicimos kayak estaba lloviendo un poco y eso hizo la experiencia aún más hermosa. ¡Los manglares con lluvia fueron realmente increíbles! En el snorkel vimos muchos peces de colores grandes y pequeños/corales e incluso una tortuga marina enorme que nos encantó ver. Shoma (nuestro guía) fue muy amable y agradable con nosotros y tenía un gran nivel de inglés. Él nos ayudó a encontrar esa tortuga marina :)

Kono was our tour guide, and the activity was delightful and satisfying. His English was excellent, and as I'm from Taiwan, communication was seamless ☺️. Today, we saw unique crabs 🦀 in the mangrove area and enjoyed fun kayaking 🛶. While snorkeling, we saw various fish and corals, and even a sea snake 🐍, 👍! Don't hesitate, just come here and have a great time!

Our tour guide Akari was great! Had an amazing time snorkeling! Communication 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 itinerary is safe, kayaking is fun, and the sun is strong, so be sure to wear sunscreen. Your pants will get wet, so it's safer to bring extra clothes to change into.
