Experiência de SUP e canoagem em manguezais e canyoning (Okinawa, Ilha Iriomote)

冒険的で、有益で、爽快で、安全！強くお勧めします。最終ジャンプのためのオプションのロッククライミング中も、私たちを励まし、安全を確保してくれたショウゴさんとチームに心から感謝します！まずカヤックをしましたが、干潮時で、その時間帯に到着するとマングローブをより多く見ることができ、日陰も増えるので良いタイミングでした。ガイドは有益で、私たちが砂に埋もれないように正しいエリアを進ませてくれました。写真撮影も楽しく、今日のカニやトカゲなどの地元の野生動物も見ることができました！キャニオニングは楽しく、励まされれば十分に簡単にできます。誰もが楽しんでいて、雰囲気は常に最高でした。ちなみに、昼食後にきれいなウェットシューズに履き替え、その後ジャングルを短くハイキングしてイノシシの痕跡を探します！終了後、本部で温水シャワーを浴びるオプションがあります。タオル、着替え、エコシャンプーを忘れずに持参してください。私たちは石垣島からの日帰り旅行だったので、08:00と17:05のフェリーを事前に予約しました。

This tour was divided into morning and afternoon: in the morning, we did SUP/rowing🚣, which was my first time and quite tiring; the afternoon was river trekking. When I booked day trips, I always chose blindly, just going with my gut. Rowing🚣 in the mangroves in the morning was fantastic and easy to learn, and I even saw little crabs🦀. In the afternoon, I thought we'd just be walking through the stream, but to my surprise, you had to lie down in the stream right from the start, then jump from lower points, getting higher and higher… there was even a natural waterslide. It really pushed my boundaries; I haven't had such an exciting experience in a long time! Coach: I joined Yumi's tour for a day, and it was pleasant and relaxed throughout. I didn't understand Japanese Yen at all, but simple English was enough for this trip, because after the experience, I felt it was essentially a simple adventure for outdoor enthusiasts. Yumi showed us small animals in the mountains (a tiny lizard with a blue tail🦎), guided us safely as we walked through streams, climbed mountains, and jumped into small pools. It was amazing🌟👏🏻! The best part was that she helped us take photos throughout, creating wonderful memories! Please see the photos, haha😄

【Mangrove Forest (Morning)】 Location: Paddle through the pristine mangrove forest, where you might encounter lizards, tree frogs, and groups of crabs during the trip. Safety: The climate is hot and humid. The coach reminded us to bring water to avoid heatstroke. Experience: Requires physical stamina. Equipment: Originally booked SUP, but was notified the day before that it was changed to kayaking due to safety concerns. However, there was no wind or rain on the day of the activity. Coach: English communication was fluent; enthusiastically introduced attractions and helped with photos. Unfortunately, the English-speaking group arrived later, so they didn't receive prior instruction on paddling techniques like the Japanese-speaking group. 【River Tracing (Afternoon)】 Location: The wild stream is cool and refreshing. It's a ten-minute walk from the parking lot. Experience: Rock climbing and cliff jumping were very exciting and fun. It requires following the coach's instructions and having some physical stamina. Equipment: Life jackets and helmets must be worn throughout the activity. Personal items (including regular glasses, water bottles) cannot be brought. If you have myopia, you need to prepare swimming goggles or a strap to secure your glasses. Photography equipment needs a waterproof bag or a strap to secure it. Coach: English communication was fluent; enthusiastically introduced attractions and helped with photos; instructions for jumping spots and rock climbing force points were very clear.

An activity experience that exceeded expectations. Although the canyon rafting was changed to Phantom Island snorkeling due to an insect crisis, it truly turned out to be the best arrangement. The water level in the Iriomote Island mangrove forest is not high, so SUP or Canoe are very safe, and even children can easily pick it up; the beautiful and rich marine natural ecosystem is impressive, and the equipment is very complete, allowing even me, who is not good at swimming, to snorkel with peace of mind. What made this activity perfect was our guide Kono, who was enthusiastic, friendly, and meticulous, providing full emotional value and constantly paying attention to the condition of all members to ensure everyone was doing well. The fact that he spoke both Japanese and English was an added bonus 👍👍. The spectacular natural scenery combined with excellent guide service made this a perfect experience.

昨日、キャニオニングとマングローブカヤックツアーを予約しましたが、とても楽しかったです！！！ 新しくてエキサイティングなことを試したい方には、キャニオニングを強くお勧めします。岩を登ったり、川に飛び込んだり、滝を滑り降りたりして、ターザンになった気分でした（笑）。マッチャンはとてもフレンドリーで、分かりやすい説明をしてくれたので、安心して楽しめました。彼は素晴らしい写真やビデオを撮ってくれただけでなく、島の生物多様性についても多くのことを教えてくれ、大変感謝しています。 その後、マングローブでカヤックをしました。最初は風が強く大変でしたが、ユキが助けに来てくれて、とても励ましてくれました！彼は英語が流暢で、自身の経験を話してくれたり、島やマングローブについて詳しく紹介してくれました。カヤックはキャニオニングに比べて穏やかでしたが、腕の運動にはなりました（笑）。 素晴らしい経験と良い雰囲気を提供してくれたお二人に感謝します！

Our guide, Kengo-san, was incredibly kind! We were a bit worried because everyone else was Japanese and our family was the only Korean group, but he seamlessly switched between English and Japanese to interpret for us. During the canyoning tour, he even demonstrated things himself while guiding us. My family said it was the most enjoyable time of our trip! Both the tour and Kengo-san are the best 😊

溯溪教練Shogo很友善細心，會介紹西表島知識，幫忙拍了不少相片和影片，即使丟了手機到溪中也專業地完成活動。希望行程可加入遊覽瀑布。紅樹林很美，獨木舟教練Syoto很自由悠閑，喜歡他不催促我們，讓我們放鬆慢慢享受在河中飄浮，不過可以多加一點對紅樹林生態的講解。溯溪及獨木舟時間可稍為加長，整體推介此行程。

It was a perfect tour with excellent equipment, a safe location, and a lot of fun. The guide was especially wonderful! I highly recommend canyoning. I've never experienced a valley like this in Korea. Mr. Takahashi was so kind, explained everything well, took great photos, and was very helpful. I want to keep this place a secret, but it was so good that I have to share it in a review... I had so much fun that I didn't take many pictures.

I really enjoyed the canyoning activity. It was a lot of fun. It is a very professional tour with all the safety equipment. I love jumping off the cliff. There is one section that we climb up and jump down. I can put my rock climbing skill in use. Seita is our tour guide. We really like him. He dropped us off at the port for lunch before we meet again for the afternoon tour. He drove off and we heard him running back to let us know that he forgot to give us recommendations for lunch. Such sweet guy. The mangrove canoeing wasn’t as fun as we thought it would be but with the service we received, I will give it 5 star for both tours. I would switch this for a snorkeling tour. After the tour, we were driven back to Pipi adventure office so everyone can take a quick shower then they drove us back to the port.

In the morning, we enjoyed a mangrove canoe tour. The scenery was beautiful and very interesting. Our guide spoke excellent English, was witty and humorous, and very responsible. After each activity, we were taken to the guide's office, which was clean and offered hot showers and changing facilities. Then, we were dropped off back at Uehara Port. After lunch, we participated in a waterfall trekking activity. Although our guide, Mickey, had average English skills, communication was generally fine. He was very responsible and dedicated. We had a great time throughout the day. The day's activities were a bit tiring, but the experience was excellent. Highly recommended.
