- Spot Introduction -

  • SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding)
    This is a new and exciting activity that has been gaining attention worldwide in recent years. Many people have probably seen it on social media or in TV commercials. It's a stylish and innovative way to have fun that originated in Hawaii, where you stand on a board floating on the water and propel yourself forward with a paddle.
  • Yubu Island is a small island made entirely of sand deposited by the Yubu Current. The sea between Yubu Island and Iriomote Island is less than 1 meter deep, so water buffalo carts are used as a means of transportation for tourists between the two islands, and they have become an important tourist attraction for the island. It takes about 20 minutes to cross from Iriomote Island by water buffalo cart.
  • Mizuochi Falls SUP/Canoe: A waterfall located in the secluded Funauki area, accessible only by boat from Shirahama Port.
    You can reach it by canoeing or using a SUP to cross Funauki Bay from Shirahama, and then proceeding down the river while enjoying the view of the mangroves!

FAQ

1. What are the main differences between SUP and kayaking in the Pinaisurashoku mangrove experience?

SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding) involves paddling while standing or kneeling, which tests your balance and offers a higher, wider field of vision. Kayaking, on the other hand, is done while seated, providing high stability and making it relatively easier to operate. Both allow you to explore the Pinaisurashoku mangroves deeply, but SUP focuses more on engaging your core muscles, while kayaking offers a more relaxed and stable paddling experience, suitable for visitors of different skill levels.

2. What are the different joys of choosing SUP or kayaking in the Pinaisurashoku mangrove experience?

Choosing SUP allows you to paddle while standing, offering a panoramic view of the mangrove ecosystem from above, while enjoying the fun of balancing on the water and core training, perfect for those who love a challenge. Kayaking is more suitable for those who want to paddle leisurely, observe underwater life up close, or enjoy family time. It provides a stable perspective and a relaxed exploration experience, allowing you to delve into the hidden secrets of the mangroves.

3. What kind of clothing is recommended for the Pinaisurashoku mangrove SUP or kayaking experience?

We recommend wearing quick-drying, comfortable, lightweight clothing or swimwear, with sun-protective clothing on top. For footwear, water shoes, amphibious shoes, or sandals that can get wet are advisable to protect your feet and facilitate walking on slippery surfaces. Please avoid wearing jeans or cotton clothing, as they take a long time to dry when wet, which can affect your comfort during the activity.

4. What personal items should I prepare before participating in the Pinaisurashoku mangrove SUP or kayaking activity?

It is recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses (with a retainer strap if possible), sunscreen, drinking water, and a change of clothes. Please be sure to bring any personal medications you may need. During the activity, guides will provide dry bags for your mobile phone or small items. They will also use special waterproof cameras to capture your exciting moments.

5. Can non-swimmers participate in the Pinaisurashoku mangrove SUP or kayaking experience?

Yes, non-swimmers can participate in this experience with peace of mind. A life jacket is mandatory for all participants throughout the activity, and professional guides will be present to provide instruction and ensure safety. Even if you accidentally fall into the water, the life jacket will provide sufficient buoyancy. It is crucial to follow the guide's instructions at all times to ensure your safety.

6. Are there any age or health restrictions for the Iriomote Island Pinaisurashoku mangrove SUP/kayaking experience?

This experience generally considers the age and health condition of participants. Typically, children must reach a certain age or height to participate (e.g., above 5 years old or with parental accompaniment). Elderly individuals or those with specific health conditions are advised to consult with the tour operator before booking. Please be sure to disclose all health information at the time of booking to ensure the safety of the activity.

7. How long does the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island take, and what scenery will I see along the way?

The water buffalo cart ride from Iriomote Island to Yubu Island takes approximately 15 minutes. As you slowly proceed, you can admire the tidal changes in the shallow waters, the mangrove scenery in the distance, and experience the unique subtropical island atmosphere. The water buffalo cart ride is a distinctive mode of transportation to Yubu Island, offering a leisurely journey filled with local charm.

8. Are photos provided for free during the Pinaisurashoku mangrove SUP/kayaking experience?

Yes, during the Pinaisurashoku mangrove SUP or kayaking experience, professional guides will use special waterproof cameras to take photos of you. The data for these memorable activity photos will be provided to you free of charge.
