I really enjoyed the great nature of Iriomote Island on this tour! It was a really special experience to go through the mangrove jungle by canoe, and I felt as if I was in a different world. The subsequent exploration of the limestone caves was also breathtaking, and it was very moving to feel the millions of years of history as we went through the caves. The guide was very kind and made us feel at ease. We were also given free photos, so we were able to keep them as wonderful memories. This tour gives you a full sense of the charm of Iriomote Island!
Since it was a private tour, I was able to fully enjoy everything I wanted to do without worrying about my surroundings! We were able to fully enjoy activities in the great outdoors, such as canyoning down a waterfall and exploring a mysterious limestone cave. The guide was very friendly and flexible to our requests. We felt like VIPs and had the best memories!
Our guide, Ken, who knows Iriomote Island very well, moved here to enjoy surfing with his family. They are a very nice family. The mangrove was great this time and the limestone cave tour was also great 😀. I would like to visit Iriomote Island again and explore unexplored areas with Ken's guide.
The mangrove SUP and limestone cave exploration tour in Iriomote Island was truly a cinematic experience! As I leisurely made my way through the mangroves on the SUP, the surrounding nature was so beautiful and soothing. After that, the limestone cave exploration was the perfect moment to put on our helmets and lights and step into the mysterious space. The detailed explanation by the guide was very informative, and the photo gift during the tour was a delight! I would definitely join this tour again, even if you are a beginner.
Since it was a private tour, we could enjoy Iriomote Island at our own pace! We chose SUP and snorkeling, both of which were carefully supported by the guide, so even beginners could enjoy them without worries. The free photo data was also a nice touch! It was a luxurious tour where we could monopolize the great nature without worrying about the crowds. I think this tour is perfect for a family trip or a group trip!
The guide was very attentive. He was very knowledgeable about Iriomote Island, and we were able to experience the island without any worries. I was especially excited and thrilled to see the limestone caves in the untouched nature! It was thrilling and very enjoyable. I was able to experience the magnificent nature of Iriomote Island close at hand and learn about its splendor.
