[Okinawa, Iriomote Island] Pinaisara Falls 1-day tour [Kayaking and trekking]

Hinaisara Falls is Iriomote Island's most popular and impressive waterfall. The 55-meter waterfall, visible from the underwater pier in Funaura Bay, is truly impressive. Observing the shift in habitat from the ocean to mangroves, wetlands, and land as you approach the waterfall is a great way to understand the close relationship between the ocean and forest. Depart by kayak from the nearby Murray River dock. Transfer to the Hinai River, then ascend upstream to the finish line, disembarking from the kayak and walking. Trek to the waterfall basin and then climb to the top for spectacular views. ■ Pinaisara Falls Tour Overview: This tour includes everything you need, including a kayak, life jacket, and felt boots for trekking. Lunch is also provided. This tour is primarily geared toward beginners, so even those who have never kayaked before, as well as women and children with limited physical strength, can participate.

We will paddle our kayaks through the mangrove waterways, which are synonymous with Iriomote Island. The view of paddling through the mangrove arches, feeling the sunlight filtering through the trees, is one of a kind on Iriomote Island. Afterwards, we will disembark from the kayak and walk towards Pinaisara Falls. In the morning, we will go to the waterfall basin. You can even swim there! Afterwards, let's try our best to make it to the top of the waterfall. After enjoying the spectacular views and having lunch, we will head back. If you paddle hard until the end, you will be able to enjoy both the mangroves and the jungle, making this a very satisfying tour.
