Nakama River Cruise

The Nakama River cruises offer a unique and immersive way to experience the lush landscapes of Iriomote Island. Departing from Ohara in the south of the island, visitors can choose between two tour options. The longer cruise, lasting 80 to 90 minutes, costs 3500 yen and includes a stop at a distinctive mangrove tree, where you can disembark and enjoy a short walk through the surrounding environment. For those with less time, a quicker 50 to 60-minute cruise is available, offering a more direct journey without the walk, while still showcasing the stunning views of the mangrove-lined river.

Both tours provide the perfect opportunity for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts to immerse themselves in Iriomote's rich biodiversity. As you glide along the river, you'll be surrounded by the beauty of the mangroves and the serene atmosphere that makes this area so special. Whether you opt for the longer, more leisurely cruise or the quicker ride, the Nakama River offers an unforgettable way to connect with Iriomote's natural wonders.
