    I was a little worried about my physical strength, but the knowledgeable and experienced guide supported me from start to finish, and I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind! I was also happy that they took a lot of pictures and gave us the data for free. After all the hard work, the Yaeyama soba (buckwheat noodles) was delicious and heartwarming. The meat was surprisingly tender and really excellent! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Pinaisara Falls is a 30-minute kayak ride away, and you can have your picture taken with the 55-meter waterfall in the background! At our time, it was just low tide, so we were able to see the mangrove roots and the powerful waterfalls due to the rain from the previous two days! It was a lot of fun, but the best part was our guide, Mr. M! He was only in his second year, but he was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with interesting stories throughout the trek, making it a great day! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    To be honest, I thought the three-island tour would be hard, but the staff was well organized and the trip went smoothly. However, if you are not confident in your physical strength, the second half of the tour may be a little tough. The scenery was outstanding.
