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.

初めての方におすすめ！
家族三人（子どもは小一男子）で利用しました。船でのマングローブ周遊は、お話が面白く、勉強にもなりました。その後、バスで水牛車乗り場へ。水牛車に乗って、由布島でランチ、島内観光です。天気もよくて子どもは少し疲れてしまったようですが、初めての西表島をコースで回れるのはありがたかったです。

家族全員大満足
今回未就学児2人、大人2人の4人で参加しました。水牛車、マングローブ…など全てで子供も飽きることなく楽しんでいました。7月で暑かったですが、移動のバスは涼しく快適でした。小さな子供連れにおすすめです。ありがとうございました！

半日観光
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。
