What You Can Expect

Duration: 6 hour(s)

1 Day

00:00
Before getting into the canoe, you will practice using a paddle (a tool for rowing) and rowing on land. You will start by learning how to hold the paddle, so even those who have never canoed before can feel at ease.
00:00
Let's set off in a canoe! Finally, we board the canoe and set off. At first, you may be confused about how to operate the canoe, but after a while you will get used to it. Once you get used to it, you can enjoy looking at the mangroves and taking photos... It is rare for the canoe to capsize.
00:00
We walked towards the waterfall. We climbed a fairly steep slope. It took about 40 minutes to reach the top of the waterfall. The slope was a bit steep... but we made the effort to see the spectacular view.
00:00
Arrival (lunch). We arrived at the top of Pinaisara Falls! It was so beautiful that we couldn't help but gasp. We were so moved by the scenery that we took some photos before having lunch.
00:00
We trekked towards the waterfall. We got off the canoe and walked a little. Along the way, we were greeted by beautiful flowers, insects, and large trees. It took about 20 minutes to reach the waterfall basin. We also had to climb up some rocky areas with some steps.
00:00
Arriving at the waterfall basin. After a long walk, you'll arrive at the Pinaisara waterfall basin! The satisfaction of having made it this far on your own two feet and the cool waterfall will soothe your soul to the core. Since you've come this far, it's best to take a short rest before setting off.
00:00
Return to the canoe launch point. Leaving the Pinaisara Falls basin behind, return the way you came. The return journey is downhill, so be careful.
00:00
We get back in the canoe and paddle back down the same river we came from. Farewell, Pinaisara Falls...
00:00
If the tide is out at the right time, we'll go ashore. What kind of creatures live on the tidal flats?! (Please note that landing and observation may not be possible depending on the tide level, the progress of the tour, and other circumstances.) After the tour, we'll drop you off at Uehara Port or your accommodation. Thank you for your hard work.
