All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I experienced the northern route around Osaka. The view from the second floor was refreshing. Although I was born and raised in Osaka, I enjoyed listening to the guide's explanations at key points and learned things I didn't know before. My friends from afar also had a great time. The weather was so nice that I got sunburned...

大阪北周りを体験しました。2階からの眺めは新鮮で
大阪生まれ育ちですがガイドさんの要所要所の説明を
聞き、知らなかったことが知れて楽しかったです。遠方からの友人も楽しんでまくれました
天気が良すぎて日に焼けました…

The bus guide was very experienced, and the stories were quite interesting. Perhaps because it was a weekday during the rainy season, there were only six participants on the large bus, which made it comfortable. Fortunately, the weather was nice that day, and it was great to explore both Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley with a small group. Both places have rough terrain, so I recommend wearing sneakers. Personally, I prefer the Gangala Valley over Okinawa World. The walking time is long, but the pace is quite slow. Since we walked with the guide, we could hear various stories about history and plants. They mentioned that the maximum group size is about 20 people, but we were just six.

経験豊富なバスガイドさんで、お話がとても興味深かったです。梅雨の中の平日だったせいか、大きなバスに6人しか参加者がおらず、快適でした。幸運にもこの日はお天気に恵まれ、斎場御獄もガンガラーの谷も少人数で回れて良かったです。どちらも足場が悪いので、スニーカーで行くことをお勧めします。個人的には、おきなわワールドよりガンガラーの谷がお勧めです。歩く時間は長いですが、ペースはかなりゆっくりです。ガイドさんと一緒に歩くので、歴史から植物と色んな話を聞けます。最大20人程で回るとのことですが、私達は6人でした。

Since our morning meeting didn't go well, I left feeling worried, but it turned out that my concerns were unnecessary. The local team was flexible and packed our plan with experiences that we wouldn't have been able to do with a rental car. They also made sure we were on time for our return, and I think I would prefer a hire service over a rental car next time. Thank you very much.

朝の待ち合わせがうまくいかなかったので、心配しながら出発しましたが、心配なんて、必要なかったほど、レンタカーでは出来なかったであろう現地の方ならではの私たちの希望をしっかり詰め込んだプランを臨機応変に対応して下さいました。
帰りも伝えた時間に間に合わせてくださり、次回以降もレンタカーよりハイヤーがいいなと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

I have always loved living creatures. I participated with my husband, who is not fond of insects. It was truly enjoyable to explore a jungle-like path without any leveling, using a flashlight that was given to each of us! Three young men acted as conductors, and I was impressed by their wealth of knowledge; whenever I asked, "What is this?" they would immediately tell me.

As we searched for creatures, shining our lights from our feet to above our heads, whenever we found something and reported it to the young men, they never showed any annoyance. Instead, they would stop and explain everything in detail.

After passing through the jungle, we arrived at a beach with a stunning starry sky! The moment everyone turned off their flashlights, another wave of emotion hit us. They also taught us about constellations in detail, and I was in awe of their extensive knowledge. Even my husband, who dislikes insects but loves stars, was moved by this experience.

I often get strange looks from others for my love of creatures, but in this environment, it was perfectly normal to touch a stick insect or get excited about frogs. I was so happy. I think this experience might not be suitable for those who are afraid of insects, but I highly recommend it for those who are okay with them! I would even want to come back to Ishigaki Island just to participate in this again.

If you love living creatures, I encourage you to experience this amazing adventure. It was truly fun. Thank you to the three young men! (*ˊᵕˋ*)‼︎

もともと生き物全般が大好きな私。
虫が苦手な旦那を引き連れ、参加しました。
整地が一切されていないジャングルのような道を、1人一本ずつ渡される懐中電灯を照らしながら探索するのが本当に楽しかった！
3人のお兄さんがコンダクターをしてくれますが、どの方もとにかく知識が豊富で「これは何？」と聞くとすぐに教えてくれることに感動。
足元から頭上まで各々で灯りを照らしながら生き物を探し、見つけたらお兄さんに報告すると、鬱陶しがることは全くなく、きちんと立ち止まって丁寧に説明してくれます。
そしてそのジャングルを抜けた先には、満点の星空が広がるビーチ！
全員が懐中電灯を消した瞬間に、また別の感動が訪れます。
そこでも星座などを細かく教えてくれ、知識量の多さに脱帽。
虫嫌いだけど星は好きな旦那も、これには感動していました。
生き物が好きすぎて普段は周りからドン引きされることが多い私ですが、ナナフシを触っても、カエルに興奮しても、それが当たり前に受け入れられる環境でした。うれしかったです。
虫が苦手な方は向いていないと思いますが、大丈夫な方には本当にオススメです！
これに参加するためにまた石垣島に来たいくらい。
生き物好きな方は、ぜひこの感動を味わってみてください。
本当に楽しかったです。3人のお兄さん、ありがとうございました(*ˊᵕˋ*)‼︎

I had a dream of seeing a perfect starry sky on a remote island, and I am very happy that it came true. The observation spot was on asphalt, so I could lie down without hesitation and fully experience the starry sky.
I really love the Valtour tours because they are easy to book, and I want to continue using them in the future.

離島で満点の星空を見る夢があり、それが叶ってとても幸せな気持ちです。そして観察スポットが、アスファルトだったため気兼ねなく寝ることができ、全身で星空を体験できました。
ヴァルトラツアーは気軽に申し込めるので、とても大好きでこれからも利用したいと思っています。

The weather forecast didn't promise any sunny spells, but gradually, the clouds cleared during the tour, and we were able to see a beautiful blue sky!! I was dozing off a bit during the bus guide, but I think they provided quite a bit of information. The seafood bowl for lunch was disappointing, but the sea urchin I ordered was very delicious, and I was satisfied with the larger portion than I expected!!

天気予報では晴れ間は期待できなかったですが、ツアー途中からだんだんと雲が少なくなりキレイなブルーに会えました!!
バスでのガイドもうつらうつらしてましたが、かなり案内をしてくれていたと思います。
ランチの海鮮丼は期待外れでしたが、注文したウニはとてもおいしく、思ったより量も多くて満足でした!!

I made a reservation for him, who kept saying "I want to see the coconut crab" before the trip. We followed a staff member who called himself a coconut crab hunter, and we were able to see them safely!!! He was very satisfied after taking a commemorative photo with the coconut crab. As for me, I’m not good with bugs, but the staff member's explanations were interesting, and surprisingly, I was able to enjoy it.
We were also able to see the starry sky beautifully. I definitely want to participate again during the season when there are many shooting stars.
For safety, you wear rubber boots, so if you're concerned about being barefoot, I recommend bringing socks.

旅行前から「ヤシガニが観たい」と連呼した彼のために予約。ヤシガニハンターと名乗るスタッフさんに着いていき、無事見ることができました！！！ヤシガニと記念撮影もでき彼は大満足。当の私は虫が苦手なのですが、スタッフさんの解説が面白く意外にも楽しむことができました。
星空も綺麗に見ることができました。流れ星が多い季節に是非また参加したいです。
安全のため長靴を履くので、素足だと気になる方は靴下を持って行くのをお勧めします。

We participated as a family of three. Matsuura, who was in charge, provided thorough explanations, and we could feel their desire for us to enjoy the experience throughout. In the latter half, my wife got "seasick" and started feeling unwell, but even while on the water, they took care of her and simultaneously took many photos. Not only were there wonderful images, but the support was also full of hospitality. Thank you very much.

家族3人で参加しました。
担当いただいた松浦さん、説明も丁寧で私たちに楽しんでもらいたい、という気持ちが終始感じられました。
後半家内が“海酔い”して気分が悪くなったのですが、海上にも関わらず家内の介抱もしていただきながら、同時に写真もたくさん撮影していただきました。
素敵なたくさん画像もさることながら、ホスピタリティ満点のサポートでした。
ありがとうございました。

It was the rainy season, so it rained on the day of the bus tour as well. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Manzamo, but we had a great time at Pineapple Park and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It was also raining at Pineapple Park, but we could ride small cars around the pineapple fields, so the kids enjoyed themselves regardless of the rain. The tour guide shared a lot of information about Okinawa on the bus, making the ride enjoyable too.

梅雨の時期だったので、バスツアー当日も雨でした。残念ながら万座毛には行けずでしたが、パイナップルパーク、美ら海水族館で楽しめたので良かったです。パイナップルパークでも雨でしたが、雨でも園内は小さい車に乗ってパイナップル園を回れるので子ども達は雨関係なしに楽しんでて良かったです。バスでは添乗員さんが沖縄について色々と話してくれるので、バスの中も楽しかったです。

I had a great time kayaking for the first time! They announced the areas to avoid, like rocky spots, and I finished the kayaking safely. They kindly provided recommendations for sightseeing spots and were very accommodating beyond just their duties. Although it rained a bit during the kayaking, they remained cheerful regardless of the weather. The photos they provided were beautiful, and there were enough of them that I didn't even need to bring my own smartphone! Some people added options to take their own photos, but it was more than sufficient! I would love to request their services again.

はじめてのカヤック楽しかったです！
岩場など避けて通る場所をアナウンスしてもらい、安全にカヤックを終わりました。
おすすめの観光地を教えて頂き業務以外のことも優しく対応してくださいました^ ^
カヤックの時多少雨が多かったですが、天候に関わらず明るく接してくださいました⭐︎
頂いた写真の画像が綺麗で自分でスマホを持っていかなくても充分な枚数でした！オプションをつけて自分で写真を撮っている方もいましたが、充分でした！
またこちらにお願いしたいです。

I participated on June 28, right after the end of the rainy season. The Milky Way was perfectly captured, making it an amazing memory! My reservation was for June 27, but when I arrived at the shooting location, there were too many clouds, and the Milky Way wasn't visible, so they kindly changed the schedule for me to the next day (since there was availability).

I was quite indecisive among many starry sky photo tours, but I'm really glad I chose "Tabiwaku Miyakojima." The photos turned out just like those on their website, and I'm very satisfied. Of course, it depends on the weather, but I believe this shop has solid photography skills if it's sunny. The photographer who assisted us was friendly and kind, which made the experience very enjoyable. Thank you very much! (≧∀≦)

梅雨明けしてすぐの6月28日に参加しました。
天の川がバッチリ写って最高にいい思い出になりました！
予約は6月27日だったのですが実際撮影場所に着くと雲が多く天の川が見えなかったので次の日に予定を変更してくださいました。（スケジュールの空きがあったので）
予約をする時に沢山の星空フォトツアーの中でかなり迷いましたが「タビワク宮古島」さんに決めて本当に良かったです。
写真の出来上がりがホームページの写真どおりで大満足です。もちろん天候によるのでしょうが晴れれば写真のウデは確かなショップだと思います。
担当して下さったカメラマンの方が気さくで親切だったのでとても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました(≧∀≦)

I definitely recommend the bus tour. I didn't rent a car so I was looking for things to do... the bus tour took us to 5 different attractions. It was great, didn't need to worry about driving and even fell asleep on the way back after all the walking all day. Just do it, you won't regret it! A+! I even booked another 3 attraction bus tour for a different day. If you are thinking about going, think no more and just book the bus tour. Thanks Phil

The guide skillfully used three languages to create an enjoyable bus trip. People from various countries were on board, and we engaged in cross-cultural communication by taking photos together. The tour condensed the highlights of Hokkaido into a short time, making it an ideal choice for first-time visitors to Hokkaido.

ガイドさんが３ヶ国語を駆使して楽しいバス旅行を演出してくださいました。
いろいろな国の方が乗っていらして、写真を撮りあったりと異文化コミュニケーションにもなりました。
短時間で北海道の名所が凝縮されており、初めての北海道にはうってつけのツアーだと思います。

I signed up for a full-day snorkeling trip, but we departed on a boat without a roof. The half-day snorkeling group had a much nicer boat with a roof. The snorkeling was great; we saw beautiful coral and many types of tropical fish. However, I was disappointed with the photos we received. I didn't take any myself because they said they would provide photos, but the underwater pictures they gave us didn't show any tropical fish at all... I really hoped they would have taken pictures of us underwater as well... It was a letdown.

1日シュノーケリングを申し込んだのに　屋根のない船で、一緒に出発した
半日シュノーケルの方が　綺麗な屋根付き船でした
シュノーケルは綺麗な珊瑚と　たくさんの種類の熱帯魚が　見れて　とても良かったですでも　下さった写真ががっかり‍
写真は下さるとのことで　撮らなかったのですが　海の中の写真たくさん下さったのですが　熱帯魚が　全然写ってなくて、、、希望は　海の中の私達も　撮って欲しかったです、、、残念でした

Yamachan, I had a great time! ☺️ Thank you for teaching me about sea turtles and for sharing all your recommendations about the beaches in Miyako! Everyone, definitely go see sea turtles with Yamachan!

やまちゃん、楽しかったよーーん☺️
海亀のことも教えてくれて、おすすめビーチも宮古のこと何でも教えてくれてありがとうございました！
みなさん、是非やまちゃんと海亀見てください

I arrived at Ishigaki Airport at 12:30, rented a car, and reached the Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal around 13:30. I had reserved a half-day course starting at 14:30, but I had plenty of time.

There are shops and small eateries inside the Ishigaki Port Terminal, but I thought it would have been nice to eat outside beforehand. Several tour companies are located within the terminal, and when I went to the one I had booked and told them my name, they guided me. Since I went before checking into the hotel, I was also able to leave my luggage at the counter!

The boat was fast but not so much that it made me feel seasick. We arrived at Taketomi Island in about 15 minutes, and from there, it seemed to be a 15-minute walk to the water buffalo experience location, but with kids in the heat, taking the bus was a good choice. We were quickly guided to the water buffalo experience and set off. We had a relaxing time, learning about Taketomi Island and the water buffalo, and at the end, they played the sanshin and sang for us, making for a wonderful experience. We took commemorative photos at 15:40.

After that, I could choose to return to the Ishigaki Port Terminal at either 16:00 or 17:00, so I thought about staying until 17:00 to rent a bicycle. However, it seemed they only rented until 16:00, so I aimed to walk to Kaiji Beach and Kondoi Beach. But with a 4-year-old in the blazing sun, it was quite tough. I decided to just go to Kaiji Beach, took a quick photo, and hurried back to the water buffalo area, barely catching the 16:45 bus and returning to Ishigaki Port Terminal on the 17:00 ferry.

It's important to check the rental bicycle hours, and for those who want to take their time at the beach, I recommend a morning or full-day course. Drinks were also available for purchase at Taketomi Port.

Since the water buffalo experience was the main plan, it was great, but I also wanted to see Kondoi Beach. The sea isn’t immediately visible; you have to walk quite a distance to see it.

I wrote this hoping it might be helpful to someone. It truly became a wonderful memory! I recommend it for families with children.

12時半に石垣空港着で、レンタカー借りて13時半頃には石垣港離島ターミナルに着けていました。14時半〜の半日コースを予約してましたが、時間には余裕がありました。
石垣港ターミナル内にも売店や小さな食堂はありますが、外で食べてきてからでも良かったなと思います。
石垣港ターミナル内にいくつか観光会社が入っていて、予約したところに行って名前を伝えると案内してもらえました。またホテルチェックイン前に行ったので手荷物も窓口で預かって貰えました！
船は速さもあり酔うほどではなかったです。15分程度で竹富島に到着して、そこからバスで水牛体験の場所へ歩いても15分程の距離みたいですが子連れで暑い中だったのでバスでよかったです。水牛体験もすぐに案内されて出発。ゆったりした時間を過ごせました。竹富島の事、水牛の事、いろんなお話を聞かせていただき最後には三線演奏と歌も歌ってくださりとても良い時間を過ごせました。記念撮影もして15時40分。
そのあと16時と17時の石垣港ターミナルへ戻る時間を選べたため、17時まで滞在して自転車を借りようと思いましたが、16時までしか貸し出ししてないようで徒歩でカイジ浜とコンドイ浜を目指しましたが4歳の足で炎天下の中無理がありかなりしんどかったです。カイジ浜だけにして到着してもサッと写真撮影してすぐに水牛の所へ戻って16時45分発のバスにギリギリ乗り込み、17時の便で石垣港ターミナルへ戻りました。
レンタサイクルの時間の確認が必要なのと、ゆっくりビーチの時間も取りたい人は午前中か1日コースがオススメです。
ドリンクは竹富港でも購入出来ました。
水牛体験がメインの予定だったので良かったですが、コンドイ浜も見てみたかったです。海はすぐ見えるわけではなくかなり道を進まないと見えないです>_<
誰かの参考になればなと思い書きました。
ただ本当にとても良い思い出にはなりました！子連れにもオススメです。

I participated in snorkeling and mangrove SUP at Barasu Island.

The staff were very kind, and I had a great time even as a beginner!

They taught us various things about Iriomote Island, and we enjoyed ourselves during the boat and bus rides.

It was my first time doing SUP, but they helped me when I struggled to paddle, making it a comfortable experience.

If you ever visit Iriomote Island, I definitely recommend trying this out.

I will be making a reservation again for next time!

バラス島シュノーケリングとマングローブsupに参加しました。

スタッフの皆さん優しくて初めてでも楽しめました！

西表島のいろんなことを都度教えていただき
船移動、バス移動の最中も楽しく過ごせました。

私自信supは初めてでしたが上手く進めない時も手助けをしていただいて快適に回ることができました。

是非西表島行かれる際はみなさんも使ってみてください。

また次回も予約させていただきます！

The guide spoke fluently in Japanese, Chinese, and English, and provided a very polite tour. The weather was nice, and I was able to spend a relaxing and pleasant day. Thank you for your assistance.

ガイドさんは日本語、中国語、英語と3ヶ国語を流暢に話し、とても丁寧に案内してくれました。
お天気も良くてゆったりと気持ちの良い一日を過ごすことができました。
お世話になりありがとうございました。

I participated on June 25.
On the way to the site, I encountered an owl, and once we started walking, many creatures appeared. Each group got to take photos with coconut crabs and even touched a sea snake, which I think was unique to this tour.
We discovered so many creatures that we ended up extending our time quite a bit, but I was very satisfied. It was quite hot, so I think it's best to remember to bring water.
The stargazing was wonderful as the night progressed, with a clear sky full of stars. The view of the Milky Way was amazing. I was very satisfied that we were able to take our time compared to other tours.
Participating on our wedding anniversary created the best memories.
Thank you to Hiro and Yuu, who worked hard to find creatures and made the experience enjoyable.

6月25日参加しました。
現場に着くまでにフクロウに出会い
歩き始めてからは、たくさんの生き物が現れグループ事にヤシガニとの写真を撮ってくれたり海蛇捕まえて触らせてくれたりとこのツアーならではだったのかなぁと思います。
沢山の生き物発見で、かなりの時間延長でしたが大満足でした。かなり暑いので水分は忘れずに持って行った方がいいと思います。
星空鑑賞も夜がふけるにつれ雲一つない素晴らしい星空でした。天の川までみえる星空は素晴らしかったです。他のツアーよりもゆっくり時間をかけてもらい大満足でした。
結婚記念日に参加して最高の思い出になりました。
ツアー中一生懸命に生き物を探したり、
盛り上げて楽しませてくれた裕雄さん、ヒロさん
ありがとうございました。

We were supposed to meet at 9 AM, but even arriving early, the digital museum only opened at 9, and many people were waiting in the rain.

After checking in, we toured the museum. The large visuals and explanations were impressive, but my husband, who was with me, got motion sickness from the videos. The exhibits on other floors were also interesting.

Once we boarded the ship, the guide's explanations were very engaging, and before we knew it, we could see Gunkanjima. Since it was raining, I wore the raincoat I had prepared, but they also provided poncho-type ones inside the ship (though there might be a limited supply).

Even after landing, the explanations were fascinating, and I enjoyed listening. In the last area, I was happy to have my photo taken with Building No. 30 in the background.

I was worried about the rain during the rainy season, but the best part was being able to land.

The castella ice sold on the return trip was delicious, and the character Gansho-kun was adorable, making me want to buy some merchandise.

朝9時の集合でしたが、早く到着してもデジタルミュージアムが9時にしか開かず雨の中何人も待っていました。

受付を済ませてミュージアム見学。
大きな映像と説明は見ごたえがありましたが、一緒に見た主人は映像に酔ってしまいました。
他の階層での展示物も面白かったです。

船に乗り込んでからの、ガイドさんの説明もとても面白くあっという間に軍艦島が見えていました。
雨が降っていたので用意していったカッパを着ましたが、船内でもポンチョタイプのものを配ってくれていました。（数に限りがあるかも）

上陸してからも興味深い説明で聞いていて楽しかったです。
最後のエリアでは、30号棟の建物をバックに写真も撮ってもらえて嬉しかったです。

梅雨時で雨降りなので心配していましたが上陸することが出来たのが1番良かったです。

帰りの船内で販売されたカステラアイスも美味しくて、ガンショーくんというキャラクターも愛らしくグッズが欲しくなりました。

The guide was bright and energetic, and he was very knowledgeable about the insects, creatures, and plants of Miyako Island, which was incredibly educational. I was worried because there was light rain and clouds before the tour started, but once it began, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up for a perfect start. I was very lucky to suddenly encounter a baby coconut crab. The young boy from the family I toured with was also full of energy, and all the fatigue from daily life just disappeared. Miyako is the best. Coconut crabs are the best.

In the middle of the tour, we reached the top of the rocky plateau. Looking up at the sky, it was so clear, and the stars were visible, making it incredibly beautiful. The hour of the tour flew by, and it ended safely. I am grateful to the wonderful guide and everyone I toured with. Thank you very much.

ガイドの人が明るくて元気よく、宮古島の昆虫や生き物、植物に詳しくとても勉強になりました。
ツアーが始まる前まで小雨と雲がかかっていて心配だったが、いざ始まると心配を他所に雨は止み空も晴れて最高のスタート。ヤシガニの子供にいきなり出会えてとてもラッキーだった。一緒にツアーを回ったご家族のご子息も元気よく日頃の疲れも吹っ飛びました。宮古最高。ヤシガニ最高。
ツアー中盤岩盤の頂上に到着。空を見るととても澄んだおり、星もはっきり見えてめちゃくちゃ綺麗だった。ツアーの一時間もあっという間に過ぎ、無事に終了。最高のガイドと一緒に回った方々に感謝。ありがとうございました。

In conclusion, it was absolutely fantastic. Even for someone in their mid-30s who doesn't usually exercise, and a complete beginner at snorkeling and ocean activities, it was a tour that could be enjoyed with peace of mind! (It seemed fine even for those who are not good at swimming.)

◼️ About the reservation
- I made the reservation through VELTRA, but afterwards, there were phone and email exchanges directly with the tour company. They will ask for necessary information like shoe size in advance, so you may receive calls from unknown numbers that you need to respond to.

◼️ About snorkeling
- Taking photos at Baras Island, which is made of coral and one of only two in the world, was truly a rare experience.
- Snorkeling was easier than I expected. I was a bit scared of the ocean, but I overcame it.
- I heard there are times when sea turtles appear... Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any. However, seeing the fish swimming in the same ocean was a wonderful experience, far different from seeing them in an aquarium.

◼️ About canoeing
- I enjoyed it without using as much physical strength as I thought!
- The riverbed is shallow, so even if you fall, you can stand up easily, but no one in our group fell over.
- Canoeing doesn't require much balance, so it's easy.
- We were able to see mangroves quite deep in, and it was a very valuable time.
- The mangroves are untouched by human hands, showcasing true natural beauty. It's incredibly beautiful.

◼️ About the guide staff
- They had knowledge about the flora and fauna, and their explanations were very easy to understand. (Thank you, Shotaro!)
- Everyone was energetic, friendly, and very kind. (One female staff member even greeted us with a smile during our break outside the tour!)

◼️ Things I wish I had done
- I wish I had frozen tea or water in the hotel freezer the day before.

- Lastly, you can use a shower at the end. There are no shampoos or soaps provided, so I wish I had brought some.

- I deeply regret not bringing my smartphone in a waterproof case for canoeing. There are so many great spots for taking beautiful photos, so I definitely recommend it!

- It's fine to go canoeing without a shirt on, but you will get sunburned, so I recommend purchasing a three-piece rash guard set online.

- Use a strong waterproof sunscreen. I've heard the UV strength is 4 to 5 times higher.

- During the tour, you only need to bring drinks, as everything else is stored in the tour company's vehicle. I think having a small backpack (like a running backpack) would have been helpful during canoeing.

結論、めちゃくちゃ良かったです。
普段運動をしていない30代半ばの人間でも、そしてシュノーケリングや海のアクティビティ超初心者でも安心して楽しめるツアーでした！(泳ぎが苦手な方も大丈夫そうでした◎)

◼️予約に関して
-VELTRA様経由で予約しましたがその後、直接ツアー会社様と電話やメールのやりとりがあります。事前に靴のサイズなど必要情報聞かれますので、知らない番号から電話が来ますが対応必要です。

◼️シュノーケリングに関して
-世界に2つしかないサンゴでできたバラス島での写真撮影は本当に貴重な体験でした。
-シュノーケリングは思っていたより簡単にできます。海少し怖いなと思っていましたが克服しました。
-ウミガメが現れる時もあるそうな...我々は残念ながら遭遇せず。しかし泳いでる魚たちを同じ海の中で見るのは水族館で見るものとははるかに違う素敵な体験でした。

◼️カヌーに関して
-思っていたよりも体力を使わずに楽しめました！
-川底は浅いので最悪落ちても、全然立てますが、グループで転倒していた人は1人もいませんでした。
-カヌーはバランスを取る必要がそんなにないので、簡単です。
-かなり奥の方までマングローブを見ることができ、とても貴重な時間を過ごせました。
-マングローブは人の手が施されていないので、まさに自然美。美しすぎます。

◼️ガイドスタッフに関して
-動植物に関しての知識があり、説明がとてもわかりやすかったです。(しょうたろうさんありがとうございました！！)
-みなさん元気があり、愛想も良く、とても親切です。(ツアー外の休憩時間中も笑顔で挨拶をくれた女性スタッフの方も！)

◼️やっておけばよかったこと等
-前日にホテルの冷凍庫でお茶や水を凍らせておけば良かった

-最後にシャワーを使えます。シャンプーや石鹸類はないので、持って来ておけばよかった。

-カヌーは防水ケースにスマホを入れて持っていけばよかったと大後悔。素敵な写真が撮れるスポットばかりですので、絶対おすすめします！！

-カヌーは上半身裸でも大丈夫ですがめちゃくちゃ日焼けするので、オンラインでラッシュガード3点セットなどの購入をお勧めします。

-日焼け止めは強めのウォータープルーフのものを。4、5倍の紫外線の強さがあるそうです。

-ツアー中は飲み物くらいしか持って行かないので、それ以外は全部ツアー会社様の車で保管です。カヌーの時は小さめのリュック(ランニングバックパック)があるとよかったと思います。

We visited Miyako Island for our honeymoon, and we requested this starry sky photo as a keepsake! They captured our recommended poses and the poses we wanted to try, and the shooting time was just right for us since we wanted to visit many places and enjoy our hotel. There were a few clouds, but they managed to take great shots at the moments when the clouds cleared and the stars appeared. It was really beautiful, and we can't wait to see the final results. The photographer was friendly and always engaged with us, sharing information about tourist spots as well. Thank you very much!!

新婚旅行で宮古島に訪れたので、記念に残したくこちらの星空フォトをお願いしました！
おすすめのポーズや、やりたいポーズ、程よく撮影してくださいました。時間も長すぎずで、行きたいところが多くホテルも堪能したい私達には良かったです。
少し雲もありましたが、雲が途絶えて星が写るタイミングで上手く撮影してださいました。
とっても綺麗でした、仕上がり楽しみです。
カメラマンの方は気さくな方で、常に声をかけてくださり、観光スポットの情報も教えてくださいました^ ^
ありがとうございました！！

The weather was favorable, and Yakusugi Land was easy to walk through without needing poles. I was glad to encounter various types of moss. The droplets resting on the moss sparkled beautifully. I reflected on the passage of time as I observed the second generation growing based on the first. I was also pleased to see the Jomon cedar.

天気にも恵まれて屋久杉ランドはポールもいらず、歩きやすかったです。いろんな種類の苔にも巡り逢えて良かったです。苔に溜まった雫がキラキラしてました。1代目を元に2代目が成長して行く有様に悠々と流れる時の長さに想いを馳せました。
紀元杉も見られて良かったです。

Arrived in Hokkaido on a flight the night before.
Participated in a tour with Veltra from the morning of the next day.
Visited Noboribetsu Hell Valley, Lake Toya, Cape Earth, Showa Shinzan, and Lake Shikotsu.
Saw a lot of sights. In the evening, I attended a live concert at ZEPP SAPPORO, which was the purpose of this trip.
Returned home on a flight the next morning. Thanks to Veltra, I was able to complete a whirlwind trip to Hokkaido.

前日夜の便で北海道入り
翌日朝からベルトラの観光に参加
登別地獄谷、洞爺湖、地球岬、昭和新山、支笏湖
たくさん見てまわりました。夜からは今回の旅の目的ZEPP SAPPOROでライブ観戦。
翌日朝の便で帰宅。ベルトラのおかげで駆け足の北海道旅行を完成させていただきました。

The jungle exploration was great, but stargazing on the beach was the best. By chance, a Starlink satellite appeared, and I was so excited.

ジャングル内の探検もよかったのですが、ビーチでの星空観察最高でした。偶然スターリンク衛星が出現し、大興奮。

I was a bit anxious about the language being "Chinese," but as others have mentioned, Japanese was also fine. However, there were 21 participants, and only 3 were Japanese, so the atmosphere on the bus was quite quiet, with everyone adhering to the rules. Kumamoto Castle is still under restoration, but the tours before the earthquake seemed challenging with the stairs, so the elevator was a blessing for elderly couples. Mount Aso had a level 2 entry restriction, so we couldn't go to the crater, which was disappointing. The Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine was not on our radar, but we experienced its impressive solemnity, although the climb was tough. Since we were individual tour guests, the return bus became a grand showcase of delicious dinner spots in Hakata from our guide, and we were introduced to a great "motsunabe" restaurant. It felt like a Kyushu gourmet tour with motsunabe, basashi, vinegar motsu, and karashi renkon, and the fatigue from the 8 AM departure and 6 PM arrival was completely lifted. I was very satisfied in a slightly different way. One complaint (perhaps?) is that I applied through VELTORA, and while I received a voucher via email from the organizing tour company, it seems that the actual company conducting the tour is different. It took some time to find which tour was ours at the meeting point at the Chikushi Exit of Hakata Station, which was a bit nerve-wracking.

対応言語が「中国語」で不安もありましたが、他の方も書いていたように日本語も大丈夫でした。ただし、参加者２１人、日本人は３人で、台湾・香港の個人ツアー客中心ということで皆さんバスの中も静か時間もきっちり守っていました。熊本城はまだまだ復旧途中ですが地震前のツアーは階段やら大変そうで高齢夫婦にはエレベーターがありがたかったです。阿蘇山は入山規制レベル２で火口まではいけませんでした、残念。上色見熊野座神社はノーマークでしたが、なかなかの荘厳さを味わいましたが登りがきつかった。個人ツアー客ということで帰りのバスはガイドさんの博多のおいしい夕食スポットの大披露会となり、私たちもおいしい「もつ鍋屋さん」を教えてもらい、もつ鍋、馬刺し、酢もつ、からし蓮根と九州旨いものツアーをやったような気分で、８時発18時着の疲れもすっかり取れました。ちょっと違う意味でも大満足でした。一つ、苦情（？）を言えばVELTORAに申し込んで、主催ツアー会社の入ったバウチャーはメールで来てましたが、実際にツアーを実施する会社はまた別なのでしょうか。博多駅筑紫口の集合場所はツアーバスの集合場所でどれが目的のツアーか見つけるのに時間がかかりドキドキでした。

I participated in the night tour!

The starry sky, which I can't see back home, was incredibly beautiful, and I was captivated by it. I saw a coconut crab for the first time. I was amazed by the size of the spiders that I had never seen before, and I enjoyed the demonstration of throwing leaves into the spider's web, even though I'm not good with insects! Thank you very much.

ナイトツアーに参加しました！

地元では見れない星空がめちゃくちゃ綺麗で見惚れてしまいました。初めてヤシガニを見ました。地元では見たことのない蜘蛛の大きさや、葉っぱを蜘蛛の巣になげてする披露と、虫が苦手な私でも楽しむことができました！ありがとうございました。

Miyako Island was amazing!!

I participated in the SUP and snorkeling experience. The weather was perfect, and I was able to see breathtaking views from the SUP! They guided us to calm spots and photo opportunities, and I got some wonderful pictures taken.

During snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle. It was a rare experience to see the sea turtle come up for air. I had many photos taken with the sea turtle and while on the SUP, and they even edited them to make them even more beautiful. Tetsu, who took the photos, had a great sense of style and was particular about the shots!

At the end, they recommended a great restaurant in Miyako Island, and it was delicious, so I have no regrets!

Even after the trip, I keep looking back at the photos and reliving the memories. Thank you very much!!

初宮古島最高でした！！

SUPとシュノーケリング体験に参加しました。天気にも恵まれ、SUPの上から最高な景色を見ることができました！波が静かな場所や、撮影スポットに案内してもらい素敵な写真を撮ってもらいました。

シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメを見ることができました。呼吸の為、水面から顔を出すウミガメもみれ貴重な体験ができました。
ウミガメとの写真、SUPの写真等、たくさん撮ってもらい、加工もしてさらに綺麗な写真にしてくれました。写真を撮ってくれたてっちゃんは写真にはこだわりたいとセンスがよかったです！！
最後に宮古島のおすすめのお店を教えて頂き、行きましたがとっても美味しかったので間違いなかったです！

旅行が終わってからも撮ってもらった写真を見返して、余韻に浸っています。
ありがとうございました！！

I had an amazing time participating! During my first trip to Miyako Island, I was unsure about what to do when I discovered the night tour. I thought the only options for the evening were to go to an izakaya or relax at the hotel, but I didn't realize there were such choices available. After seeing many positive reviews about how great it was to join, I decided to sign up for the tour.

We gathered at the meeting point and joined other participants for the start of the approximately one-hour tour! We quickly spotted a hermit crab, and the guide provided detailed explanations about its types and characteristics, reminding me of my outdoor learning experiences in elementary school. As we continued, we saw spiders and crabs, and before we knew it, we arrived at the observation deck. Looking up at the sky, I was treated to a breathtaking starry night, the most beautiful starry sky I have ever seen!

While walking, I was so focused on searching for creatures that I only looked at my feet, so the stunning scenery was overwhelming! Near the observation deck, we spotted the palm crab we were hoping to see! It was quite large and impressive! I learned that as they grow, they become more cautious and are not often seen, so I felt lucky! There were many bugs since we were in nature, but I appreciated that they provided insect repellent spray in advance! This was a tour I would love to join again when I visit Miyako Island! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

参加してめちゃくちゃよかったです！初めての宮古島旅行でなにをしようか迷ってる時に、ナイトツアーを発見。夜の時間帯は居酒屋か、ホテルでゆっくりするだけかと思っていたが、こんな選択肢があるとは。口コミをみると参加してよかったと言う声が多く、せっかくなのでツアーを申込みすることに。現地集合で他のツアーの参加者と合流し、約1時間のツアーの開始！早速ヤドカリを発見し、種類や特徴などを事細かく説明してくださり、小学校の時の野外学習を思い出しました。その後も、蜘蛛やカニなどをみながら進んでいくとあっという間に展望台へ到着。空を見上げると満天の星空があり、今まで一番綺麗な星空を見ることができました！歩いてる途中は生き物を探すのに夢中で足元しかみていなかったので、圧巻の景色でした！展望台付近で、お目当てのヤシガニを発見！かなり大きいサイズとのとこで、迫力がありました！大きくなると警戒心が高くなり、なかなか見られないらしいとのことでラッキーでした！自然の中なので虫も多かったですが、事前に虫除けスプレーも貸していただきありがたかったです！また宮古島にきた際に、参加したいと思えるツアーでした！素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！
