Overview

★Explore Iriomote, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site!
About 90% of the island is subtropical jungle, home to Japan's largest mangrove forest and rare wildlife found nowhere else, such as the Iriomote cat.

★Easy even for beginners!
This course is held on a mangrove river where the wind has little influence, so even beginners can enjoy the course!

★Free photo data!
Your guide takes photos throughout the tour with a waterproof camera, and you get all the photo data for free!

★An eco-friendly tour designed with sustainability in mind, to protect Iriomote's nature for future generations.
