  • In the morning, head to the popular Pinaisara Falls, the largest waterfall in Okinawa Prefecture!
  • Everything is just right. When you come to Iriomote Island, where Pinaisara Falls is like a theme park, you'll want to try mangrove canoeing, jungle trekking, and even swim in the waterfall basin. Of course, Iriomote Island has many wonderful waterfalls. But there are often only one thing missing, such as no canoeing, no trekking, or no waterfall basin. In that respect, Pinaisara Falls has it all. And it's just right. The same goes for trekking, where you can be exhausted after paddling for an incredibly long time, or conversely, it can be too short and unsatisfying. Pinaisara Falls is a 30-40 minute walk through a calm mangrove river, and the half-day course to the waterfall basin takes 20-30 minutes of trekking. A popular plan is to enjoy activities in the morning and tour Iriomote Island in the afternoon. The field is like a meticulously planned theme park. It's no wonder it's so popular.
  • In the afternoon, take a leisurely tour of the water buffaloes on Yubu Island!
  • On Iriomote Island, we have received many requests from people who want to see the mangroves, canoe, experience the jungle, and even ride a water buffalo cart on Yubu Island! We have created a special itinerary in response to requests from many people who want to see as much of Iriomote Island as possible within the limited number of days they have to travel. [If you're not sure what to do, this is it!!] In the morning, visit the popular Pinaisara Falls waterfall. In the afternoon, go sightseeing with the water buffaloes on Yubu Island. We have prepared a perfect model itinerary that will ensure you're sure to find your way around Iriomote Island.
  • Leave early in the morning! Avoid the crowds!
  • It's true that Iriomote Island's designation as a World Heritage Site has led to an increase in both the number of tourists and the level of congestion. Therefore, there are several reasons to depart early in the morning. First, leaving early in the morning allows you to avoid the crowds. World Heritage sites are popular destinations, attracting many visitors. The number of tourists tends to be highest during the daytime. By leaving early in the morning, you can arrive at your destination before other tourists arrive and avoid the crowds. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the morning is ideal for a relaxed and enjoyable experience of nature. Furthermore, leaving early in the morning allows you to fully enjoy the natural beauty. When tourist spots are crowded, it can be difficult to fully appreciate the sounds and scenery of nature. However, leaving early in the morning allows you to experience nature in its purest form, with birdsong, the sound of the wind, and the activities of natural inhabitants. Furthermore, the beautiful contrasts of light and colors in the morning make it ideal for photography. You can fully enjoy Iriomote Island's beautiful nature.

Purchase Notice

Please note the following when participating in this course:

  • The tour is limited to 1 to 7 people. Please change into the clothes you will be wearing on the day of the tour. We recommend wearing easy-to-move-in clothes that are quick-drying and don't mind getting dirty. Jeans and cotton shirts become heavy when wet with rain, sweat, or water, making it difficult to swim in and making you more likely to drown. They are also difficult to dry and can be uncomfortable, so we recommend wearing quick-drying clothes such as sportswear. Beach sandals will make it easier to return home.
