On this tour, there is no kayaking, only trekking. You can go to Yutsun Falls which is in the mountains.
Why? In the summer season it is very hot and humid, so we can’t enjoy trekking for a long time. Also, Yutsun falls does not have a waterfall basin, so you can’t swim ther. But you can see a superb view from the top of the falls. Therefore we recommend this tour during the fall or winter.
- Hiking
- Advanced
- Waterfall fun
- Waterfall shower
- Superb view
- From 13 yrs
- From Ishigaki Is OK
The next stage is caving, which is really exciting.
The best season for jungle trekking is from October to March. This is because the Summer on Iriomote Island is a bit too hot.
We will climb up to 250m, where there is a waterfall. We need to trek 2 hours each way, and we sometime need to trek across the river. We can see a superb view from the waterfall.
After trekking to Yutsun falls, we can go to a limestone cave. Our caving is easy and safe. The caving takes about 30 to 40 minutes, but it will feel like time is standing still.
