カヤック&トレッキング

また、マングローブには様々な根の形があり、海に近い所から遠くなるにつれて根の形が変わっていきます。そんな少しずつ変わる風景の中をカヌークルーズしながらカップルで秘境へ進むのはとても楽しいひととき。カヌーを置いて、そこから滝に向かってトレッキング。ジャングルの中を進んでいくと、沖縄の中でも西表島にしかいない動植物がたくさんいるので、しっかり写真に収めましょう!
もしかしたらハブなんかに出会うかも(笑)!*ハブは危険ですが、西表島でのトレッキング中に出会うハブは小さく、ネイチャーガイドがちゃんとエスコートするのでご安心を。
滝についたら、滝つぼ遊び!普段は見られない表情を2人で楽しむことができます。ほかにも西表島ジャングルの中にある鍾乳洞探検もおすすめ!ガッツリプラン&お手軽プランどちらもあるので、マングローブジャングルを満喫したいカップルにオススメです!
