Iriomote Excursions - UPDATED 5/15 - IMPORTANT INFO*


July 23, 2023

UPDATED 5/15

Iriomote is only about 10% inhabited. That means that we need to bring almost everything we need with us!! That includes cash, toiletries, etc. There are very few stores. Last time we were there, there were no ATMs at all. We will likely pay for the hotel IN CASH when we are there, so we will need to get enough cash in Ishigaki or earlier before we go. We are still looking into a way to pre-pay.

We are hoping to do a snorkeling excursion by boat on the full day. Iriomote is even more beautiful underwater than it is above! We will be provided with wetsuits, snorkels and fins. We will also likely do a hike on the other day we are there. We can arrange the excursions at the hotel.

Potential Hike: Kanbire-no-taki Waterfall (カンピレーの滝)

SUNSET - 7:32 PM!!!
