You can choose between canoeing and SUP, but this time I chose SUP. We went up a small river in Iriomote Island by SUP and trekked to a waterfall, which was easy even for beginners because Mr. Akiyama, our guide, carefully taught us how to do it. Moreover, the ferry ticket is included in the tour! Anyway, this is the best plan to enjoy Iriomote Island easily.
