Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

This is a hidden course that takes you to the mysterious Nara Falls through mangrove canoeing and jungle trekking. You canoe down the Nara River for about two hours, and after lunch you'll try out some serious trekking. After walking along a deep mountain path, you'll arrive at Nara Falls, where you can splash around to your heart's content in the pool beneath the waterfall. Of all the tours, the canoeing time is the longest, and the sense of accomplishment when you reach the finish line is even greater! *Participation from Taketomi Island and Kohama Island is not available from October 1st to March 31st.
I recommend this place!
After paddling a canoe and walking through the jungle, you finally reach the mysterious waterfall, Nala Falls. Bathing in the waterfall is refreshing! The cool water of the waterfall will cleanse your soul!
Play in the pool at Nara Falls!
Just looking at the waterfall at Nara Falls is a mystical experience that is enjoyable enough, but the size of the pool at the bottom of the falls is also one of its attractions. During the hot season (from around March to November), even small children can play in the pool safely as long as they are wearing life jackets!
