【はぴるB】Iriomote Mangrove River Cruise & Yubu Island Sightseeing (Includes lunch) [Departing from Ishigaki Port at 10:30]
JPY 800 OFF
After enjoying a boat cruise through Nakama River, home to Japan’s largest mangrove forest on Iriomote Island, ride a water buffalo cart across the shallow sea to Yubu Island. This small island, approximately 2km in circumference, is a subtropical botanical garden. Enjoy a walk around the island and savor a traditional Okinawan-style lunch at the on-site restaurant. Iriomote Island, registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 2021, is home to many rare plants and animals. During the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, enjoy scenic views of Okinawa’s shallow seas. The tour also stops by the Wildlife Conservation Center, a base for protecting the Iriomote wildcat. You can view specimens and video materials about the Iriomote wildcat and other animals inhabiting Iriomote Island—animals that are rarely seen even on the island. ※Please note that the stop may be skipped on the center’s closing days or during peak congestion. Closed: Every Monday (or the following Tuesday if Monday is a public holiday), June 23 (Okinawa Memorial Day), and New Year holidays (Dec 29–Jan 3). ※Additional closures may occur due to local events or specimen fumigation. This is a relaxing and popular tour course around Iriomote and Yubu Islands, enjoyable for everyone from small children to the elderly.

最初の説明が少し長くて うまくいけるかな？と 思っていましたが たくさんの人がいるのと、黄色いシールが目印だったので、 簡単に行けました。 ツアーなので移動などすごく便利でした!! 連れて行くガイドはいないけど、十分楽しむことができました😄✨✨

西表島と由布島観光
マングローブクルーズの船長さんが とても面白く、詳しく説明して くださり良かったです。 雨と曇りでやりたいことが 半分になった中、家族で有意義な 時間を過ごせたと感謝しています。 1番思い出に残りました。 由布島の水牛観光は 水牛に優しい調教師の方も いれば、水牛に対して 舌打ちしたり、棒のような 物を出してきたりする年配の方がいて 乗っている側が気分の良いものでは なかったです。 動物達に助けてもらって 働いていることを 忘れないでほしいなあと 思いました。

おまかせでのんびり楽しめました。
マングローブクルーズや水牛やバス、それぞれの担当の方が、それぞれ西表島のお話をしてくれるので、いろいろわかって楽しめました。体力的に大変なことは何もないので、幅広い年齢の方が楽しめると思いました。おまかせできるので手軽に西表島を観光するのには、良かったと思います。

効率的に離島の観光が楽しくできました
石垣島から西表島へのフェリーは揺れもなく快適、マングローブ見学では船のパイロット（船頭）の説明が分かりやすく、かつ楽しい話であっという間の1時間でした。 やはり初めての訪問では、プロに任せるのが良いです。
