Iriomote: Mangrove Kayak and Rainforest Waterfall — 6 Hours

Paddling and trekking on Okinawa's largest subtropical island, culminating in a remote waterfall pool and outdoor Okinawan cooking

This half-day tour on Iriomote Island combines two distinct activities separated by an outdoor lunch. The morning involves paddling through a large mangrove river system, where natural tunnels of vegetation form a calm waterway suitable for beginners. After returning to shore, participants prepare and eat an Okinawan noodle-based lunch (with optional local pork or vegetarian variations) cooked outdoors on a quiet beach. The afternoon ascends into the tropical rainforest via a hike through local farmland, crossing streams and rocky terrain to reach a waterfall with a natural pool. The tour includes all equipment, guide services, transportation from accommodation or the Uehara ferry port, and concludes with island herbal tea or local fruit before return transfer.
