Looking like a long white beard hanging down towards a foaming pond, the 55 m (180 ft) drop of Pinaisara Falls makes is the city's highest falls. Accessible both by foot and by canoe, the location provides plenty of trekking, kayaking, and swimming opportunities capped by a view from the top of the falls. Some say the falls resemble a long white beard hanging down, which is how the site got its name. Experience the sights and sounds of rare birds and watch subtropical trees while sitting in the pool beneath the falls. The site begs for photos but the climate is tropical, so bring cases for cameras to protect them from the humidity here.

  ビナイサーラの滝は、西表島で有名で参加しましたが、素晴らしい景色もネットで見すぎたため、感動値が個人的には低かったです。 下に降り、水の中で遊んでいる時間が楽しかったです。シーカヤックも一緒に楽しむツアーだったので、満足感は、大きいです。 ガイドさんと色んなツアーのお話しができたのが楽しかったです。  more »

  The waterfall of Vinaisara was famous and participated in Iriomote Island, but the impression value was personally low because I saw too much wonderful scenery on the net. I enjoyed the time we went down and playing in the water. Sea kayaking was also a fun tour together, so the satisfaction is great. It was fun to talk with the guide about various tours.

  カヌーで向かいました。遠くから見る滝とハイキング後に見る二つの滝が楽しめます。滝のそばは涼しくてとても気持ちが良かったです。履物は滑らないしっかりしたもので行かれるといいと思います。  more »

  I went canoeing. You can enjoy the waterfall seen from a distance and the two waterfalls seen after the hike. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I think that it is good to go with the steady one that footwear does not slip.

  Awesome waterfall that's worth a quick tour. Pinaisara means "old man beard" in Japanese, apparently. It's named as such because, from a distance, the falls look like the beard of an old man. I recommend hiking to the bottom of the falls to swim first before making the 20 minute hike to the top of the falls to take in the view.

  We did a day tour kayaking and then hiking to the bottom and top of the falls. The experience of the river and jungle hike were really memorable despite the amount of tourists. Fully recommended, including going to the top of the falls, the view of the jungle, the beach, and the ocean is unforgettable.
