    Little adventure in a magnificent and Luxurious nature

    You can enjoy a leisurely canoe trip through the mangrove before walking 20 minutes toward the 50 meters Pinaisara fall and swim a bit in the pool at the bottom of the fall. Then it is lunch time and return to Uehara. The guide will explain along the way a few things about the nature around the path. I joined a group of friendly people which also contributed to make this tour a wonderful tour.

    12 Oct 2023 Pinaisara Waterfall and Barasu Tour - Hirata Kanko

    It was a customized full-day tour that includes kayaking, trekking to the base of the waterfall and snorkeling. Unfortunately because of weather conditions, the snorkeling part was cancelled. We were staying in Ishigaki and was set to go to Iriomote by ferry. The ferry heading to the Uehara port got canceled so we had to take another ferry heading to the Ohara port and get on the bus that takes us to the original meeting point. With all the uncertainty, I appreciate that the company provided instructions and take care of the contingency arrangement so we can still enjoy the tour. During the tour, the guide was very professional and ensured our safety while we're having fun. At the end of the tour, he even drove us everywhere to find food because many restaurants are closed! Overall it was a very enjoyable experience, and I would recommend everyone book tours from Hirata Kanko.

    It was a lovely trip, we had a great young guide, a very kind lady who made us appreciate kayaking in the mangrove river, walking in the forest and discover beautiful plants and animals. We swam in an impressive pond under a huge waterfall, surrounded by the rainbow effects of the powdered water spread all around us by the waterfall. I highly recommend this trip. Thank you ——— とても素敵な旅でした。素晴らしい若いガイドと、とても親切な女性のおかげで、マングローブの川でのカヤック、森の中を歩くこと、そして美しい動植物との出会いを味わうことができました。巨大な滝の下にある印象的な池で泳ぎ、滝から降り注ぐパウダーウォーターが織りなす虹色の光に包まれました。 この旅を強くお勧めします。 ありがとうございました
