Review / word-of-mouth experience

Recommended for those who want to enjoy leisurely
Due to bad weather, the Barasu Island tour was canceled the day before, so I applied for the Panari Island tour instead.
The day of the tour was sunny, the guide Kentaro was a simple young man, and the captain's father was a fun person.
In the morning, go snorkeling by boat to the offshore point
It seems that you can see sea turtles on days when the waves are calm, but unfortunately the waves were high on the day we went, so we couldn't see sea turtles.
Go home, eat lunch, take a break and take a nap
Go to the beach in the afternoon for snorkeling
After that, I was given a tour of the island.
My father showed me a coconut crab, and I talked about the world while eating shaved ice.
I had a relaxing time
The shuttle boat was also a lot of fun.
If I go to Ishigaki Island again, I definitely want to go to Panari Island.
Panari Island is a great place and I recommend it

best tour ever
I asked for a sea kayak tour. I wanted to go to Mizuochi Falls and Ida Beach, but that course was about 15km long, so I was very grateful that they would be able to accommodate me while looking at how I was physically on the day.
As a result, I was able to land on the beach of Ida, which I had longed for. During the tour, we were able to take frequent breaks at places with beautiful scenery, so we were able to enjoy the tour until the end without being so tired.
There were times when the weather changed drastically along the way, but they handled it without any problems, and it was rather a good memory.
The locally prepared lunch was also great.
I would like to take care of you again when you come to Iriomote.
