  • This is a canoe and trekking tour that takes you to two waterfalls on Iriomote Island. First, you'll travel through the shallow mangroves deep inside Iriomote to Sangara Falls. With few tourists and few people around, it's truly a hidden gem. You can enjoy a unique and valuable experience, such as going into the shade of the rocks behind the waterfall. Next, you'll head to Pinaisara Falls. Life jackets will be provided, so you can swim in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall and relax, enjoying the natural beauty of Iriomote Island.
  • Visit two fascinating waterfalls
  • Sangara Falls, located deep in Iriomote, and Pinaisara Falls, with a drop of 55m, are both magnificent waterfalls that are full of the charm of nature and can be fully enjoyed.
  • Enjoy lunch and snacks with a spectacular view of the waterfall
  • Enjoy lunchtime while looking at the mystical Sangara Falls! Afterwards, descend to the Pinaisara Falls basin, where you can play to your heart's content and enjoy some snacks! Of course, we will provide you with lunch boxes and snacks.
  • With the slow flow of time
  • There is plenty of time, so you can enjoy the natural beauty of Iriomote Island through canoeing and trekking, while taking in the leisurely pace of time and enjoying plenty of forest bathing.

    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.

    Canoeing towards the waterfall. Our morning destination is Sangara Falls, located upstream on the Nishida River. It is a little farther away than Pinaisara Falls, which we will visit in the afternoon, but that makes it less crowded. (Depending on the tide level, we may change the route, such as visiting Sangara Falls in the afternoon.)

    (Lunch). It was worth the effort. We took photos, played in the pool under the waterfall, and then had lunch while looking at Sangara Falls.

    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 depending on the tide level, the progress of the tour, and other circumstances, it may not be possible to go ashore or observe the creatures.)

    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.

    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.
