All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I had heard that Kaimajima has beautiful stars, but it was even more stunning than I imagined! There are almost no streetlights, and the shooting spots seem to be known only by the locals, so I think I wouldn't have been able to find them at night without their guidance. On the day of the shoot, I stayed at a nearby hotel and rode my bike to the location, and the starry sky along the way was also beautiful and amazing!

Regarding the photos, I received them the following night, and not only was the speed impressive, but seeing the finished product moved me even more! These are definitely not photos that an amateur could take with a smartphone. Since the weather can affect the schedule, whether or not the shoot goes as planned depends on luck, but I strongly recommend participating in the tour for anyone who wants to preserve memories of the starry sky! It became one of the wonderful memories of our honeymoon. Thank you very much!

来間島は星が綺麗と聞いていましたが、想像の何倍も綺麗で感動しました！
街灯はほぼなく、さらに撮影スポットも現地の方しか知らないような場所で、教えていただかないと夜には辿り着けなかったと思います。撮影当日は近くのホテルに宿泊していたので、現地には自転車で向かいましたが到着までの道中も星空が綺麗で素晴らしかったです！
写真についても翌日の夜には送っていただき、スピードはもちろんですが出来上がりを見てさらに感動しました！絶対に素人がスマホで撮影できる写真ではないです。天候に左右されるため予定通り撮影できるかは運もありますが、星空の思い出を形に残したい方はツアーの参加を強くオススメします！！
新婚旅行のいい思い出の1つとなりました。ありがとうございました！

The staff and course were wonderful. I was able to fully enjoy my first experience in Okinawa. I encountered sea turtles and rays, which are said to be difficult to see while in a submarine. At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was overwhelmed by the impressive size of the whale sharks and mantas. I enjoyed the famous Kouri Bridge from the commercials, tropical fruits, and had a delicious hamburger at American Village. I look forward to having various experiences with VELTRA in the future.

スタッフ・コースがすばらしかったです。初体験の沖縄を満喫することができました。サブマリンでは見ることが難しいと言われるウミガメ・エイに遭遇できました。美ら海水族館ではジンベエザメやマンタ、迫力あるビッグサイズに圧倒されました。CMで有名な古宇利大橋と南国フルーツ、アメリカンビレッジではハンバーガーを堪能してきました。これからもVELTRA
さんでいろんな経験をしたいと思っています。

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour on May 9th. I was worried about whether I would see sea turtles, but I was able to see many of them! There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and SUP, so I was very satisfied. The staff were friendly and made it enjoyable. It was a great trip, thank you!

5/9にシュノーケル&SUPのツアーに参加しました。
ウミガメに会えるか不安でしたが沢山会うことが出来ました！
シュノーケルの時間もSUPの時間もたっぷりあったので大満足でした。
スタッフの方も気さくで楽しめました。良い旅行になりました、ありがとうございました！

I visited with great interest, as it is a sacred place where myths come alive. When I tried to take a photo, the morning sun shone through, creating a mystical experience. I can't deny my preconceived notions, but I was very moved. I enjoyed the Eisa show at Okinawa World. The Gyokusendo Cave, one of the largest limestone caves in Japan, is wonderful, and I think it's a must-see to feel the greatness of nature.

神話が息づく聖地ということで、興味津々で訪れました。写真を撮ろうとした時に朝日が差し込み、神秘的な経験をしたのです。私の思い込みは否めませんがとても感動しました。おきなわワールのでエイサーショーは楽しませて頂きました。玉泉洞の国内最大級の鍾乳洞は素晴らしく自然の偉大さを感じて必見だと思います。

I made a reservation for July 7, but due to heavy clouds, it was canceled and changed to the next day. I was worried it wouldn't be clear on the day, but it turned out beautifully sunny, and I could see the Milky Way with the naked eye—it was amazing. I saw it through the camera monitor, and the photos turned out fantastic. It seems the data will be sent in about 4-5 days, and I'm already looking forward to it. The staff were incredibly friendly, and they even played music during the shoot, which really lifted the mood.

7月7日に予約しましたが、雲が多く開催中止になったため翌日に変更。当日は曇りにならないか不安でしたが綺麗に晴れて天の川も肉眼で見えるほど素晴らしいかったです。
カメラのモニター越しに見ましたがとても素晴らしい写真に出来上がっていました。データが送られてくるのは4-5日後らしいのですが今から楽しみです。
スタッフの方はとにかくフレンドリーで、撮影中に音楽を流す演出もあり、気分も上がりました。

I was disappointed that my stay at Rokkatei was short (I wanted to enjoy the stew), but I was satisfied with the cheese fondue lunch at Furano Wine. It was incredibly delicious. I enjoyed sweet melons at Tomita Melon and was able to pick up fresh, affordable asparagus at Shikisai no Oka, which made my trip to Hokkaido fulfilling. The Blue Pond was even bluer than last time (due to the sunlight) and beautiful. Since the tour was in mid-June, the flower fields were just before their peak. I thought I would like to plan for early July next year.

六花亭の滞在時間が短く残念な点はありましたが（シチューを味わいたかった）、ふらのワインでのチーズ・フォンデュの昼食が楽しめて満足。めちゃ美味しかった。富田メロンであんま〜いメロンを味わい、四季彩の丘で新鮮なお買い得アスパラガスの調達ができたことで北海道に来た〜を満喫できました。青い池では前回より青さが増し（日差しの関係）ていてきれいでした。ツアーは6月中旬だったのでお花畑は見頃前。来年は7月上旬に計画したいと思いました。

The guide provided a lot of information, which was great. The number of participants was also about half of the seating capacity, so we could relax comfortably.

ガイドさんが多くの情報を提供していただいたので良かった。参加人数も席の半分くらいでゆったりとできた。

I was amazed by the views of the large rock formations at the Oishi Forest and was able to see the mangroves up close from the walking path. In the Kuina Forest, I had the chance to observe the adorable Yanbaru Kuina up close. The weather was also favorable, and from Cape Hedo at the northernmost point, I could see Yoronjima. I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sea and mountains in the Yanbaru World Heritage Site.

遊歩道からマングローブを間近に見たり、大石林山の景観に圧倒されました。また、クイナの森では愛らしく動くヤンバルクイナを間近で観察できました。
天候にも恵まれ、最北端の辺戸岬からは与論島を見ることができました。
やんばるの世界自然遺産の海と山の素晴らしさに感動しました。

In the morning, we went snorkeling at Barasu Island. Our guide, Kaz, was very kind and explained everything in detail. There were two snorkeling spots, and at the first spot, we saw plenty of coral and fish. The next stop at Barasu Island had an astonishing level of transparency, and we were lucky enough to land there, which was breathtaking! Even though I participated without a camera, Kaz kindly sent us photos later, which was very appreciated.

After our lunch break, we experienced canoeing through the mangroves. We got off partway and took a short walk to a waterfall, which was refreshing. Our guide, Shimicchan, was all smiles and shared interesting information about Iriomote Island. He also took photos for us here.

On the way back, we were able to take a shower in a large changing room at the office, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful guides!

朝はバラス島でのシュノーケリング。担当のカズさんはとても親切で、丁寧にいろいろと説明してくれました。シュノーケリングのポイントは2カ所で、最初のポイントはサンゴやサカナがいっぱいみれました。つぎのバラス島はびっくりするくらい透明度で運よく上陸でき、景色に感動！カメラなしで参加しても後からガズさんか写真を送ってくれたので、非常にありがたい。
お昼休憩のあとはマングローブの間をカヌーで体験。途中で降りて、滝までちょっと歩き、リフレッシュ。担当のしみっちゃんは笑顔全開でガイドしてくれて、西表島のことを色々話してくれておもしろかったです。ここでも写真を撮ってくれたました。
帰りはオフィスで大きな更衣室でシャワー浴びれで最初から最後まで至れり尽くせり。とてもすばらしいガイドさんたちに感謝でいっぱいです。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun participating in the packed tour. I was able to meet Jinbeijime-kun and many fish at the Churaumi Aquarium. There was never enough time! The tour guide from Taiwan was knowledgeable and guided us skillfully, keeping us entertained until the very end. I also appreciate the driver for safely navigating the 200-kilometer journey. I want to visit Okinawa again and this time, I’d like to check out American Village and the nearby islands. Thank you very much!

お天気に恵まれて、盛りだくさんのツアーに参加できて楽しかったです。美ら海水族館でジンベイジメくんやたくさんの魚たちに会えました。時間が足りないところばかりでした！
台湾出身の添乗員さんは知識豊富で上手な誘導で最後の最後まで楽しませて下さいました。ドライバーさんも200キロもの行程を安全に運転してくださり感謝です。
また沖縄を訪れて、今度はアメリカンビレッジや離島に行ってみたいです。
にふぇーでーびたん！

The round-trip bus transfer to the hotel was very smooth, allowing the tour to proceed seamlessly! Even though it was a tour, there was plenty of free time for exploration, which was great. We set sail on a boat and immediately headed to the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island... The explanations were very easy to understand, and I was satisfied! After that, we moved by bus and rode water buffalo to Yufu! While enjoying the scenery from the water buffalo, we explored the botanical garden in Yufu and had delicious food! Afterward, we returned by bus and took a boat to Taketomi Island... The bus tour included a stroll on the star sand and sightseeing in Taketomi by water buffalo... everything was fantastic‼︎ On the way back, we adjusted the bus transfer schedule and explored the bustling streets of Ishigaki, where I was able to buy souvenirs! If I had to mention one thing, it would be that the remote islands don't have trash cans, so it's better to bring a bag for your trash. Thank you very much! (^^)

宿泊ホテルまでバスで往復送迎していただき、とってもスムーズにツアーを進めてくださいました！ツアーなのに、自由散策も多く、いい所取りでした。船で出航し、すぐに西表島のマングローブクルーズへ…説明もとっても分かりやすく、満足です！その後バスで移動し、水牛に乗って由布へ！ドラマの中に入り込んだような水牛からの景色を見ながら、由布では植物園散策に美味しいご飯！その後バスで戻り船で竹富島へ…バス観光で星砂散策し、水牛で竹富観光…どれをとっても最高でした‼︎帰りは一本バス送迎をずらし、石垣の繁華街を散策し、お土産も買って帰れました！一つあげるなら、離島はゴミ箱がなく、ゴミを持つための袋を持参した方がいいかなと思いました。ありがとうございました(^^)

The driver kindly introduced us to many attractive spots. I was very happy that they not only drove but also took the initiative to take photos for us. Additionally, they shared old stories and even gave us crafts they made as a hobby, making it a memorable day.

運転手さんが丁寧にたくさんの魅力的なスポットを紹介してくださりました。運転だけでなく、率先して写真撮影までしてくれたりととても嬉しかったです。
また、昔話をしてくれたり、趣味で作った工作品までいただいたりと思い出に残る1日になりました。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to visit many popular tourist spots during my first trip to Okinawa. This tour, which includes various ticket prices and transportation costs, offers great value for money! The bus guide's stories about Okinawa's history and geography were very educational. Additionally, they played the shamisen, and everyone on the bus was able to enjoy it together!

~Disappointing Points~

The sightseeing time was short, and overall, we had to act quickly. I particularly wanted to spend more time at the Churaumi Aquarium.

The Okashi Hondan was just a souvenir shop, so I personally think it wasn't necessary for the tour.

初めての沖縄旅行で、人気観光スポットをたくさんまわりたいと思いこのツアーに参加しました。
各種チケット料金も移動費も含まれたこちらのツアーはコスパも最高です*＼(^o^)／*
バスガイドさんの話は沖縄の歴史や地理を学べ、大変、勉強になりました。また、三味線を演奏して下さり、バスの中で参加者が一体となって楽しめました♪

〜残念な点〜

観光時間が短く、全体的に焦って行動しなければならない。特に美ら海水族館はもう少し見たかった。

御菓子本殿はただのお土産屋だったので個人的にはツアーになくていいと思いました。

Although the weather was unfortunately not great, I was able to efficiently enjoy sightseeing in Itoshima. Since it's relatively close to Fukuoka City, I think you can take your time there. There were surprisingly unknown tourist spots, and my friends who came from other prefectures were delighted. The salt pudding from Kōbō Totan was delicious! It was a fun tour where I could buy various souvenirs.

生憎のお天気でしたが、効率よく糸島の観光が出来ました。福岡市内から比較的近いため、時間的にも割とゆっくり出来ると思います。意外と知らない観光地もあり、他県から参加した友人も喜んでいました。
工房とったんの塩プリン、美味しかったです！お土産もいろいろ買えて楽しいツアーでした。

Grandpa and grandma, who came from the countryside, also had a great time with their grandchildren! Despite the unfortunate rain, it was so much fun that it didn't matter at all.

田舎から出てきたおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんも孫たちと一緒に楽しめました♪
あいにくの雨でしたが、それも関係ないくらい楽しかったです。

I couldn't see the coconut crab, but I had a great time seeing many other creatures. The nature was rich, and I felt that everyone was doing their best. The guide was also interesting, and the quiz was fun. I want to go again!

ヤシガニは、見れなかったけど、沢山生き物がみれたので楽しかったです。自然が豊かで、みんな頑張っていると思いました。ガイドさんも、面白かったです。クイズも楽しかったです。また行きたいです！

I was surprised by how fast it was, but the captain's stories were interesting, and the enchanting scenery is unforgettable. I definitely want to ride again!

思っていたよりもスピードが早くて驚きましたが、船長さんのお話も面白く、幻想的な風景は忘れられません。また是非乗りたいです！

Mr. Koshida guided us around Shirakawa-go. With very careful driving and a cool, comfortable interior, the time from Kanazawa flew by. We were able to efficiently spend our time as he stopped at scenic spots along the way. My husband and son only speak English, but he communicated with them and showed interest in our local area, which made for enjoyable conversations. We also had a leisurely family meal together. Whenever we asked for family photos, he kindly took them for us. I'm really glad we asked. Thank you very much.

越田さんに白川郷を案内していただきました。とても丁寧な運転と涼しい快適な車内で、金沢からの時間があっという間でした。途中で景色のいいところにも停車していただき、効率よく時間を過ごせました。夫と息子が英語しか話しませんが、コミュニケーションをとってくださり、また私たちの暮らしている地域の話にも興味を持ってくださって色々お話しできたのも楽しかったです。食事の時間も家族でゆっくり取らせて頂きました。所々で家族写真をお願いすると、快く撮ってくださいました。お願いして本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

I wanted to enjoy the night in Miyako Island, but it can be dangerous for just travelers, so I joined a tour! I was able to explore while listening to explanations from someone knowledgeable about insects and plants! I was able to spot about three coconut crabs, so I think there's a high chance of encountering them. The starry sky was also filled with information, as they taught us about the constellations, making the time fly by. The staff were very approachable as well. I participated in a dress, but this time I didn't get bitten by any insects. The walking path was a paved stone path, so sandals were fine.

夜の宮古島を楽しみたいけど、旅行者だけじゃ危ないので参加しました！虫や植物に詳しく、説明を聞きながら巡れました！
ヤシガニも3匹ほど見つけることができて高確率で出会えると思います。
星空も、星座を教えてくれたりと情報が盛りだくさんであっという間の時間でした。スタッフさんもすごく関わりやすかったです。
ワンピースで参加しましたが今回は虫に刺されることもなくすぎました。歩く道は、石畳の補正された道なのでサンダルでも大丈夫でした。

After arriving at Ishigaki Airport, I was picked up and taken to visit the Shisa Farm, Kabira Bay, Cape Ongasaki, Yaima Village, and the Ishigaki Island Limestone Cave, before being dropped off at my hotel. The sightseeing at each location was a lot of fun, and the driver was kind, making our conversations enjoyable during the ride. I specified a few places I wanted to visit, and the driver efficiently took me to recommended spots based on the local situation. Since I'm not good at driving and wanted to avoid renting a car, and considering that bus services are limited, I truly appreciated being able to use this tour.

石垣空港に到着後迎えに来て頂き、そこからシーサー農場・川平湾・御神崎灯台・やいま村・石垣島鍾乳洞を回って頂き、最後はホテルへ送って頂きました。各地での観光も大変楽しかったですし、運転手さんも親切で移動中いろんなお話ができて楽しかったです。行きたい場所を何箇所か指定させていただき、後は現地の状況に合わせてオススメのスポットを効率よく回って頂けました。車の運転は苦手なのでレンタカーは避けたいし、バスの本数も限られているのでバスでの観光は難しいと思っていたので、こちらのツアーを利用させて頂けて本当に助かりました。

I have been to Miyako Island several times, and I have always wanted to join a night tour where I could see the starry sky. This time, I made a last-minute reservation while checking the weather.

The day before, I received a polite phone call with information.

However, on the night of the tour, it seemed that communication between the local staff and the office staff was not going well. Initially, I was told there would be five participants, but it ended up being 14, and there weren't enough lights. In the end, I had to participate without a flashlight in the dark, which was a bit disappointing.

I thought the tour content and the local staff were bright and good. There were many families, and it was lively.

宮古島には何度か行ってますが、
前から、星空画見れるようなナイトツアーに参加したく、
天候と相談しながら今回急きょ申し込みました。

前日に、丁寧な案内の電話もありました。

ただ、当日夜、現地スタッフのかたと、会社の事務のかたの連絡がうまくいっていなかったようで、
最初、五人だと言われていたツアーが、
１４人の参加となり、ライトが足りず、
結局、懐中電灯無しで暗い足元で参加することになってしまい、少し残念でした。

ツアー内容や、現地スタッフのかたは明るくて良かったと思います。

家族連れが多くて、賑やかでした

A current flight attendant introduced the training session while sharing some behind-the-scenes stories. Depending on the timing, it was also possible to see the actual training up close, which was wonderful. However, I can't help but feel disappointed by an incident that marred the experience.

Although I don't know the exact relationship, it seemed that two individuals, likely important guests or stakeholders, were being welcomed by staff members who appeared to be in higher positions. While this kind of general response from the company is perfectly fine, the problem was that their conversation was excessively loud. The staff wasn't speaking in a loud voice, but they continued their conversation in a location that obstructed passage without any reprimand. Other participants also mentioned to their companions that it was "too noisy," so I doubt I'm the only one who felt dissatisfied. I strongly hope for reflection and improvement in this area.

現役CAさんがちょっとした裏話を交えつつ訓練の様子を紹介してくれます。
タイミング次第ですが実際の訓練を間近で見ることもでき、素晴らしい内容でした。
しかしながら、それらを台無しにするような出来事が残念でなりません。
関係性は分かりませんが、関係者か上客と思われる２名に対して役職者と思われるスタッフがお出迎え対応をしていました。
ここまで会社としては一般的対応でもちろんかまわないのですが、問題はその会話があまりにうるさいこと。
スタッフ側は大声ではないのですが、咎めることもなく、しかも通行に妨げになる場所で会話を延々続けていました。
他の参加者も同行者に「うるさかった」と漏らしていましたので、不満があるのは私だけではないでしょう。
この部分だけは反省と改善を強く望みます。

On the day of sightseeing, it unfortunately rained, and we had to change our schedule. After consulting with an older driver, we canceled the kayak tour and visited Kadena Air Base, had lunch at the number one Okinawa soba restaurant, and then went to the Churaumi Aquarium, which made for a very satisfying day. I've been to Okinawa many times, but I rarely have the opportunity to visit a U.S. military base, so it was a great experience.

観光当日はあいにくの雨で、急遽スケジュールを変更。年配のドライバーさんに相談して、カヤックツアーをキャンセルして、嘉手納空軍基地の見学、沖縄NO.１の沖縄そば屋で昼食、そして美ら海水族館に行き、大満足の一日でした。沖縄には何回も来ていますが、なかなか米軍基地を見学する機会はないので、とても良い体験ができました。

I recommend the Odd Rock and Giant Stone Course for exploring Oishi Forest Mountain. There are various power spots, and I received a lot of energy. It was amazing to see the Okinawa Rail as well.

大石林山の散策は奇岩・巨石コースがおすすめです。色々とパワースポットがあり、いっぱいパワーを頂きました。ヤンバルクイナも見学できて最高でした。

I participated with my husband.

Including other guests, there were a total of eight people.

We chose canoeing and received a lecture at the same time as those who chose SUP. We experienced it for about 40 to 50 minutes, and then went to Shinjo Beach for snorkeling. The instructor was nice, but perhaps due to being young and inexperienced, there were some delays during the check-in process (it took a bit too long...). We moved from the canoe to Shinjo Beach by car, but there were no clear instructions for the meeting point, and everyone was left waiting outside, which was a bit troublesome. I think there is room for improvement.

On the day of the event, we gathered at 8:30, did canoeing for about 40 to 50 minutes, moved to Shinjo Beach, and snorkeled for about an hour, finishing around noon. It was relatively light and enjoyable, so I think families and elderly people can participate with confidence.

夫と参加しました。

他のお客さん含め、全員で８名でした。

私たちはカヌーを選択し、SUPを選択した方たちと同時にレクチャーを受け、4、５０分くらい体験をし、
次のシュノーケルの新城海岸に行きました。
インストラクターのかたは、良い方だったのですが、若くて慣れていないのか、
受付集合時のもたつきや(ちょっと時間がかかりすぎてました...)、
カヌーから各自新城海岸へ車で移動しましたが、その集合場所も明確な指示がなく、
みんな外で待たされて困っていたので、
改善の余地があるのかなと思いました。

当日は８時半集合で、
4、５０分ほどカヌーをし、
新城海岸へ移動をし、
１時間ほどシュノーケルをやって、12時位の解散でした。
わりとライトな内容で景色を楽しめるので、
家族連れや高齢のかたでも安心して参加できると思います。

The guidance was very thorough, making it enjoyable even for beginners! I was also really helped by the recommendations for shops in Ishigaki Island. They took over 100 wonderful photos, and the guide's stories were incredibly interesting, making for a very fulfilling time! ^_^

丁寧に教えていただけたので、初心者でも楽しめました！石垣島のオススメのお店についても教えてくださり、凄く助かりました！素敵な写真も100枚以上撮ってくださり、ガイドさんのお話も凄く面白くて、とても充実した時間になりました^_^

As someone who can't drive, I was really happy to have this kind of bus tour available. The driver and the guide were both very pleasant. Listening to the guide's island songs and sanshin made me feel more connected to Ishigaki Island, and I had a great time.

車の運転が出来ない私にとってはこういうバスツアーがあるのは助かり嬉しいです。
運転さん、ガイドさんもとても感じが良かったです。
ガイドさんの島唄や三線を聞き、より石垣島を感じる事ができ大変楽しめました。

During the actual cruising experience, not only was the captain's talk engaging, but I was able to experience everything through my eyes and ears, as well as the smells and temperatures... the sensation of fully immersing myself was something that could only be felt in that moment.

実際のクルージングでは船長さんのトークはもちろん、目から耳から、匂いや温度まで体感できて…全身で味わう感覚はその場でしか得られないものでした。

I previously participated in this course when the Churaumi Aquarium was included. It was fun back then, but I joined again because there were several facilities in Yanbaru that weren't part of the course before.

The Yanbaru Kuina was incredibly cute! Just that made it worth coming. Even though it was through glass, I could observe it quite closely. The seafood set lunch and the souvenir snacks were all delicious as well.

Perhaps because it was Sunday, the cafeteria was quite crowded, and the guide who brought the food seemed to have a tough time. Thank you for your hard work...

I was very satisfied with the content. I would like to participate again.

以前美ら海水族館がコースに入っていた頃に参加した事があります。その時も楽しかったのですが、このコースは以前はなかったやんばるの施設がいくつかあったため再び参加しました。
ヤンバルクイナちゃんがとにかく可愛かった！これだけでも来てよかった。ガラス越しですがかなりじっくり観察できます。お昼の海鮮定食やお土産のお菓子もみんな美味しかったです。
日曜だからか食堂がかなり混んでて、運んでくれるガイドさんが大変そうだった。お疲れ様です…
内容はかなり満足。また参加したいです。

There was a pickup near the hotel, and once we got on the bus, it was smooth sailing! We were taken to various sightseeing spots, and there was plenty of time to enjoy everything!

ホテル付近までお迎えがあり、そこからバスに乗り込むと後は楽ちん♫色々な観光地に連れてっていただけます＾＾時間も充分あり満喫することができました！
