All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The tour was wonderful, with a great description of the scenery visible from the tour guide's window and a gentle approach that wasn't too pushy!

添乗員さんの車窓から見える景色の説明や押し付け過ぎず優しい対応が素晴らしくてとてもいいツアーでした！

I wish we had a guide or tour conductor.

We explored Shirakawa-go freely, but before that, the tour conductor provided clear explanations about Shirakawa-go and how to get around, which allowed us to navigate efficiently.

I would love to visit Shirakawa-go again!

ガイドさん？添乗員さん？が良かったです。


白川郷内はフリーで回りましたが、その前にバスの中で添乗員の方が白川郷内の解説や巡り方とかわかりやすく説明してくれたので効率よく回ることが出来ました。

白川郷はもう1度行きたいですね〜

This time, it was just the two of us seniors participating, so the hotel pick-up was especially appreciated.

First, we enjoyed a mangrove tour in Iriomote Island, where the charming female captain's storytelling was captivating, and her navigation skills exceeded our expectations. On Yubu Island, we leisurely crossed the shallow waters on a water buffalo cart while singing, and there was a humorous incident with some droppings in the water that added to the experience. Since lunch was included, we were served a nice meal. We took our time eating, but what I appreciated most was being able to stroll leisurely around the island.

Then, on Taketomi Island, we enjoyed a relaxed exploration of the village with red-brick houses on a water buffalo cart, which truly felt like stepping back in time. Additionally, at Kaiji Beach, the two of us returned to our childhood, desperately searching for star sand, and I wished we had more time. It was a memorable day.

I am grateful that we could efficiently visit three different islands in one day thanks to this tour.

今回年寄二人での参加だったので、ホテル送迎が何より有り難かったです。
まず西表島でのマングローブ遊覧、きっぷの良い女性船長の話ぷりが魅力的で、操縦も上手、期待以上で満喫できた。由布島には水牛車でのんびりゆらゆら浅瀬を歌に乗って渡るが、水の中にうんちのハプニングもあり癒された。昼食付だったので、上げ膳据え膳。ゆっくり食べたが、ゆったり島内を散策できたのが何よりだった。そして、竹富島ならではの水牛車で赤煉瓦の民家の集落をのんびり散策はほんとうに一昔前にタイムスリップした様で忘れがたい。また、カイジ浜で、年寄二人、童心にかえって必死で星砂を探し、もっと時間があればと思った事など思い出深い一日となった。
今回、三島三様の島を効率よく一日で回れたのは、このツアーのお蔭と嬉しく、感謝しています。

Buffalo cart, glass boat, and bus tour courses.
The explanations from the guides on each course were great.
The most memorable part of my trip to Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island was Taketomi Island.

水牛車、グラスボート、バスによる周遊コース
各コースでガイドさんの説明が良かった。
石垣島、西表島の旅行で一番印象に残ったのが竹富島です。

It happened to be low tide on the day I participated, so during the mangrove tour, there were many shallow areas and sandbars, allowing us to see the roots of the mangroves very well. I sat on the left side of the boat, but if there’s space, I recommend sitting on the right side. Since it’s a round trip, you’ll see the same scenery, but I think the first half offers more explanations and insights.

I had been looking forward to riding the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island for a long time, so I was very excited to participate this time. Once I actually rode it, I started to worry a bit about the burden on the water buffalo, but listening to the guide, it was clear that they are raised with a lot of love, and I felt reassured to hear that their lifespan is longer than that of water buffalo in other regions.

We moved at a leisurely pace with the water buffalo, and depending on the cart, our arrival times varied. On Yubu Island, I interacted with Louis, who was in charge of taking photos, and he took some pictures for us. The small photos are free, while the larger size costs 2,500 yen for one or 3,500 yen for a set of two (I bought the set of two). Of course, it’s perfectly fine to decline. However, please note that you can only take photos with your own camera (phone) with Louis.

I thought 90 minutes on the island might be a bit long, but after having lunch and spending some time playing on the beach, it turned out to be just the right amount of time. Since I had other plans in the afternoon, I highly recommend the half-day course.

参加した日がたまたま干潮の時だったそうで、マングローブ遊覧の時浅瀬や中洲が多くマングローブの根もとても良く見れました。
私は船の左側に座ったのですが席に余裕があれば右側に座られる事をお勧めします。往復するので同じ景色を観れるのですが前半の方がいろいろな解説と共に観れるかなって思います。
由布島の水牛車は以前から乗りたかったので今回はとても楽しみにして参加しました。
実際に乗ってみると水牛にかかる負担とかもちょっと気になってしまいましたが、ガイドさんの話を聞いてるととても愛情深く育てられているのが伝わり寿命も他の地域の水牛よりも長いと聞いて安心して楽しめました。
ゆっくり水牛のペースで進み、乗る車によって到着もまちまちでした。
由布島では写真担当のルイ君と触れあったり写真の撮影もしてもらえて小さい写真は無料でもらえます。大きなサイズは有料で1枚2,500円２枚セットで3,500円出した。（私は２枚セットでを買いました）もちろんお断りでも全然大丈夫よのうです。ただし自分のカメラ（携帯）での撮影はルイ君のみしか出来ないので気をつけてくださいね。
島での90分は少し長いかなっと思いましたが、ランチのお弁当をたべて少しゆっくり海岸で遊んだらいい時間になってました。
午後から他の予定もいられるので半日のコースはとてもお勧めです。

I was worried about how cold the nights in December would be, but there was no need to worry. It was warm enough that I was sweating while walking.
Even though it's December, I saw summer constellations. The Milky Way was beautifully visible.
The jungle in complete darkness was a bit scary, but I felt reassured as we moved forward led by our guide.
I also encountered the highlight, the coconut crab, which made for a satisfying experience.

12月の夜は寒いか？と心配していましたが心配ご無用。歩いていると汗をかくくらい暖かいです。
12月なのに夏の星座。天の川も綺麗に見られました。
真っ暗な中のジャングルは少し怖かったけれど、ガイドさん筆頭に進んでいくので安心です。
目玉のヤシガニにも出会え、満足な体験でした。

Our tour included seven people, including my spouse and me. Even though it was a tour during this season, the number of empty seats made me think about the travel agency's profitability. We boarded the bus at the prefectural office in our departure area. The plan was to pick up tour guests from several hotels, but it turned out to be a tour with only the guests who boarded at the prefectural office, allowing us to reach our destination earlier than scheduled without stopping at hotels.

Although it wasn't my first visit to Manzamo or the Churaumi Aquarium, the lack of crowds made the experience feel very fresh. We were able to enjoy it leisurely. The guide, who seemed to have been on a break for a while, provided accurate explanations and allowed us to touch on Okinawa's history.

We had a very fulfilling day. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

私たち夫婦を含めて7名でのツアーでした。
この時期でのツアーとはいえ、空席の多さを見て旅行社の採算のことを考えさせられました・・・。
私たちは出発地の県庁前から乗り込みました。予定ではいくつかのホテルからツアー客をピックアップするはずでした。が、県庁前から乗り込んだツアー客だけのツアーとなり、ホテルへ寄ることなく予定より早い時刻に目的地へ行くことができました。
万座毛も美ら海水族館も含めて初めての訪問ではないのですが、人の少なさからとても新鮮でした。ゆったりと楽しめました。
ガイドさんもお休みが続いていて、久しぶりのガイドだったようですが、説明も的確で沖縄の歴史に触れることができました。
とても充実した一日を過ごすことができました。
みなさんにおすすめのツアーです。

Since I traveled with my mother in her 60s during the winter, we couldn't include activities at the beach, so I opted for this plan that had a monitor tour in the middle of our 2-night, 3-day trip. Initially, I planned to spend a day on Taketomi Island by taking a ferry, but participating in this tour turned out to be a great decision.

After arriving at Iriomote Island, we quickly transferred from Ohara Port to a boat for the Nakama River cruise and headed upstream. The guide provided explanations about the plants and creatures while steering the boat, making it very easy to understand and enjoyable, especially learning that there are several types of mangroves that look similar.

The cruise turned around in the middle stream, and after getting off at a stop, we took a bus to Yufu Island. The road was surrounded by rivers, forests, and fields, but the driver and guide was very entertaining, sharing trivia about Iriomote Island as he took us to Yufu Island.

After getting off, we crossed to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and relaxed on the beach while eating gelato (if you want to explore thoroughly, you need to hurry as time may not be enough). It truly is a beautiful island that feels like paradise.

On the way back, we returned to Ohara Port while listening to the guide's interesting stories, and the sightseeing concluded. We took a ferry back to Ishigaki Island via Taketomi Island. Since we had places we wanted to visit on Taketomi Island, we disembarked from the tour there, but I regret not participating in a course that included Taketomi Island because we couldn't explore it efficiently.

Also, (there might have been some explanation written somewhere), there was no tour conductor for this tour, and there was no gathering of customers at the remote island terminal. We received tickets at the terminal's reception counter and handed them to the guide at each destination, who would then tear them off (so it seemed there were people from other courses on the same boat or bus).

Overall, it was very efficient, and I highly recommend it for beginners to remote islands or those who are not very confident in their physical strength. If you're planning a free trip to Ishigaki Island, you might want to consider this.

P.S. Thank you to all the staff for allowing me to participate in the monitor tour this time. I created wonderful memories on my first trip to the Yaeyama Islands.

冬季に60代の母との旅行であったため、海でのアクティビティ等を組み込めず、2泊3日の中日にモニターツアーが出ていたこちらのプランをお願いしました。
当初、定期船で竹富島に渡って1日過ごすつもりでいましたが、このツアーに参加して大正解でした。

西表島到着後、大原港からすぐに仲間川クルーズの船に乗り換え、上流へ向かいました。ガイドさんが操船しながら植物や生き物について説明してくださり、同じように見えるマングローブも何種類も生育していること等とてもわかりやすく楽しいクルーズでした。

中流でクルーズは折り返し、途中の乗り場で下車後はバスに乗って由布島へ向かいます。
川と森と畑に囲まれた一本道でしたが、運転手兼ガイドさんがとても面白い方で、西表島のトリビアを盛り込んだ解説をしながら由布島に連れて行ってくださいました。

下車後、水牛車で由布島へ渡り、美味しい昼食をいただいたり、ジェラートを食べながらビーチでのんびりすごしました(じっくり見ながら全部まわりたい、という人は急がないと時間が足りないです)。正に楽園のようなのんびりとした綺麗な島です。
帰りもガイドさんの面白い話を聴きながら大原港に戻り、観光は終了。あとは竹富島を経由する便で石垣島に帰ります。
私達は竹富島で行きたい所があったため、ツアーを離脱して竹富島で下船しましたが、竹富島であまり効率よく観光できなかったため、竹富島を含んだコースに参加すればよかったと後悔しています。

また、(どこかに説明が書いてあったかもしれませんが、)このツアーに添乗員さんはおらず、離島ターミナルでのお客さんの集合もありません。
ターミナルの受付カウンターでいただいたチケットを各目的地でガイドさんにお渡しして、その都度切り取っていく形です(なので、同じ船やバスに他のコースの方もいたようです)。

とにかく効率がよく、離島初心者や体力にあまり自信のない方にもとてもおすすめです。
フリープランで石垣島に旅行される方は検討されてはいかがでしょうか。

追伸。スタッフの皆様、今回はモニターに参加させていただきありがとうございました。初の八重山で素敵な思い出ができました。

This is a tour that allows you to visit various places in one day. Lunch can be arranged through the bus company for 1,000 yen, but there are not many places to eat nearby, so it's efficient to order it in advance. The talk by the monk at Jiko-in, a place you don't often get to visit, is quite insightful and beneficial. I recommend this tour for those who have limited time in Nara.

一日で色々なところを回れるツアーです、昼食はバス会社に頼むと1000円ですが、周りにはあまり食べられるところが少ないので頼んでおくと時間を効率よく使えます。なかなかいくことのない慈光院での和尚さんの話はなるほどと思うことが多くためになります、奈良で時間のない方にはお勧めのツアーです。

I participated in the jungle tour with high expectations. However, since it was winter, it seems that the animals were hibernating, and I couldn't see the palm crab I was hoping for... which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, the experience of searching for animals with flashlights alongside the other participants was interesting.

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, and I really enjoyed it! I was able to see shooting stars live, and combined with the sound of the waves, it was a blissful time just gazing at the sky. The guide also shared stories about Ishigaki Island while driving, which made it enjoyable! I would like to go again in the summer next time.

ジャングルツアーに期待して参加させて頂きました。ただ冬だと動物たちは冬眠しているらしく、お目当てのヤシガニは見られず…それが少々残念でした。ですが参加者皆さんで懐中電灯を使いながら動物を探す体験は面白かったです。
そして星空はとてもキレイで、楽しめました！流れ星なども生で見られて波の音も相まってボーッと眺めている時間が幸せでした。ガイドさんも運転しながら石垣島あるあるをお話ししてくださったり楽しめました！
今度は夏に行きたいと思います。

The COVID-19 measures were excellent, and despite my concerns about my legs, I decided to take a bus trip. I usually travel alone, but I reevaluated the experience of touring with a guide! I stayed on Kokusai Street, which was close to the meeting point in front of the prefectural office, and even while moving with a suitcase full of souvenirs, I was able to enjoy sightseeing comfortably. The service was very attentive, ensuring I was sent off to the airport on time. I will use this service again. My mother was also very satisfied. Thank you very much.

コロナ対策もバッチリで、足腰心配ながらもバス旅行に挑戦しました。
いつもは一人旅行ですが、ガイドさんに案内して頂きながら巡る旅も　改めてみなおしました！
宿は国際通りに泊まり、待ち合わせ場所も県庁前の待ち合わせにも近く、お土産でパンパンなスーツケースを持ちながらの移動でも　余裕で観光しました。真っ直ぐ空港まで時間通りに見送らせて本当に丁寧でした。
また利用します。
母親も大満足。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in November. It goes quite deep into the mountains, more than I expected, but with a guide, we were able to spot animals, insects, and palm trees faster than anyone else, and they provided fun explanations, making it an incredibly valuable experience! Above all, there's no way I would have gone into such a dark mountain alone!

One slight disappointment was that there were no binoculars available for stargazing. I couldn't see much due to my poor eyesight. However, it was a very enjoyable time, completely out of the ordinary!

11月に参加させていただきました。思ってたよりかなりの山のなかに入りますがガイドさんもついて　誰よりも早く動物、昆虫、椰子がになどみつけては楽しく説明いただき凄く貴重な体験でした！　なんといっても　あんな真っ暗な山の中一人では絶対いけない！
少し残念だったのが星空鑑賞で双眼鏡の貸出が無かったことです。目が悪い私にはあまり見えなかったです。でも非日常で大変楽しい時間でした！

I participated in the Shiratani Unsuikyo to Jomon Sugi course, and the guide kept us entertained with stories and quizzes about Yakushima the whole time, so I was able to finish the walk without feeling tired.

白谷雲水峡〜縄文杉のコースに参加しましたがガイドの方が終始屋久島についての話やクイズを出して楽しませながらガイドしてくれたので疲れを感じることなく、歩き終えることができました。

I think it's quite challenging to go sightseeing in Yamaguchi Prefecture on its own, but with this tour, you can travel from Hakata in Kyushu to Yamaguchi. Since it uses a highway bus, there was no tour guide on the itinerary. It would have been even better to have a guide who could talk about the history and tourist spots of Yamaguchi Prefecture. I recommend this tour for those who can prepare in advance and set their own enjoyment and goals at each sightseeing location. If you participate passively, you might find yourself struggling at each tourist spot.

山口県単体で観光に出かけるというのはなかなか難易度が高いと思われ、その点、こちらのツアーであれば、九州博多から山口に出向くことができます。
高速バスを利用しているということもあってか、ツアーガイド不在の旅程でした。山口県の歴史や観光地について話してくれるガイドさんがいれば尚良かったです。どこに行くか予習し、観光地各所で自ら楽しさや目的を設定できる方にお勧めです。受け身で参加すると、各観光地で困ってしまうかもしれません。

They had proper infection control measures in place, and I was lent a blanket for warmth and received a hand warmer. Since I participated from Kyoto, I've been to Osaka many times, but I learned new things from the guide's talk and thought about places I want to visit next time. It was enjoyable, and I got to experience a bit of sightseeing! (*^^*)

感染対策をきちんとされていて、寒さ対策にブランケットを貸して頂きカイロを貰いました。
京都からの参加だったので、大阪には何度も行ってますが、ガイドさんのお話で初めて知った事や今度はここも行ってみよう。と思う事もあって楽しかったです。ちょっとした観光気分を味わえました(*^^*)

I wanted to join the tour of the Valley of Gangala, but there were no available slots, so I participated in the tour of Okinawa World instead.

I arrived at the Sefa Utaki before it opened and spent the waiting time taking photos of the "Bridge of Happiness" and the beautiful ocean scenery of Okinawa.

Since I entered Sefa Utaki as soon as it opened, it wasn't crowded, and I was able to worship at my own pace.

At Okinawa World, there was a lot to enjoy, including the Eisa show and Gyokusendo Cave, and even though the time was short, I had a great time.

During the bus ride, they ensured thorough COVID-19 measures, such as alcohol disinfection and ventilation on the bus while sightseeing!

Although it was the last day of my trip, it was a recommended tour for fully enjoying the southern part of Okinawa.

ガンガラーの谷のツアーに参加したかったのですが、空き枠がなくおきなわワールドのツアーに参加させて頂きました
斎場御嶽には、開館前に到着し、「幸せの架け橋」や、沖縄の綺麗な海の景色を撮影したりで、待ち時間を過ごしました
斎場御嶽では、開館と同時に入館したので、混み合うこともなく、ゆっくりと参拝することが出来ました
おきなわワールドでは、エイサーのショー、玉泉洞などなど盛りだくさんで、短い時間でしたが、楽しめました
バス乗車時に、アルコール消毒、観光中のバスの換気など、コロナ対応も万全！
旅行最終日のツアーでしたが、南部を満喫するにはおすすめのツアーでした

When you go to the reception, you will receive a combined ticket for the ferry and other tickets to be used after arriving at the remote islands. There is no tour guide, but local staff will be waiting at the ports of each island. It was a bit confusing with so many people from various travel companies, but I recommend it for those who want to efficiently explore the remote islands.

On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed viewing the mangroves while on the boat. The commentary during the ride was interesting. When crossing to Yubu Island, we used a water buffalo cart. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience while listening to shamisen music.

On the final stop, Taketomi Island, we toured by bus and water buffalo. The red brick streets were very beautiful. After the water buffalo ride, there was no specific guidance for the return, and for a moment, I wasn't sure what to do. However, when I asked a nearby staff member, they were very helpful. The islanders and staff were all very kind. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

受付に行くとフェリー乗船券や離島到着後に使うチケット類が一つになったものを貰います。
添乗員は無く、各離島の港に現地係員の人が待ってくれています。
色んな旅行会社の人でごった返しているので少し戸惑いましたが、とにかく離島を効率的に周りたい方にはおすすめです。
西表島では船に乗りながらマングローブを見てまわりました。乗船中の解説が面白かったです。
由布島に渡る際には水牛車を使います。
三味線を聴きながら、のんびりと楽しい経験が出来ました。
最後の竹富島は、バスツアーと水牛で周りました。赤煉瓦の街並みがとても綺麗でした。
水牛車が終わった後、特に帰りの案内が無く
一瞬どうしたらいいか分からなくなりましたが
近くのスタッフさんに声をかけたら教えてくれました。島の人達、関係者の方が皆さん親切です。
全体的にはとても満足出来るツアーでした。

I used this service because I wanted to efficiently explore the remote islands. I had a great time taking photos with water buffalo and viewing the mangroves from the boat, with a packed itinerary for the day! There were several paid photo spots on the islands we visited during the tour, where they provided a backdrop for the photos, making it a special keepsake that was different from amateur shots. Thank you very much!

離島を効率良く巡りたくて利用しました。
水牛と写真を撮影したり、マングローブを船上から見学したり、一日で内容盛り沢山で楽しめました！
ツアーで訪れる島には有料ですが、台紙付きで写真撮影していただけるポイントがいくつかあり、素人撮影とは一味違うのでとても良い記念になりました^ ^
ありがとうございました！

I had given up on visiting multiple places in one day since I didn't have a car, but I found this bus tour.

It was great to easily visit the places listed in the guidebook. The time spent at each location was just right, allowing us to enjoy without any waste.

It was also nice that I didn't have to carry souvenirs around since it was a bus tour.

Since I wasn't driving, I was able to enjoy some drinks at Pineapple Park. I ended up buying some delicious wine after a tasting. The staff at Pineapple Park were also very courteous, which was a plus.

At the aquarium, there were fewer people, so I was able to enjoy it without stress. I especially loved being able to witness the feeding time of the manatee mother and baby and see their adorable appearance.

Next time I come to Okinawa, I would like to participate in a different course.

車がないので、１日で複数ヵ所を回るのをあきらめていたところ今回のバスツアーを見つけました。

ガイドブックに載っている場所を楽に見て回れてよかったです。それぞれの場所の滞在時間も調度よくて無駄なく楽しめました。

バスツアーということでお土産を持ち歩く必要がなかったこともよかったです。

自分で運転しないので、パイナップルパークでお酒も楽しめました。試飲がきっかけで美味しいワインを購入しました。パイナップルパークでの係りの方の対応が丁寧なところもよかったです。

水族館は、人が少ない時期だったのでストレスなく楽しめました。とくにマナティの親子の食事タイムに立ち会えて、可愛い姿を見ることが出来ました。

次回沖縄にきたときにも、別のコースに参加したいです。

I was able to circle the island in half a day before my flight home. The bus guide from the island shared unique stories about Yakushima, which was enjoyable.

帰りの飛行機までの半日で島を一周できました。島出身のバスガイドさんが屋久島ならではのお話をしてくれて楽しかったです。

The stars were beautiful, and the shooting went smoothly. I had a great time taking photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

星も綺麗で、撮影もスムーズで楽しく撮影してもらえていい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

This time, I was able to efficiently travel to two places: Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. Previously, I visited Miyajima and Peace Memorial Park, including the Atomic Bomb Dome, but it took a lot of time and money, and I struggled to find the highlights. The tour planned by travel professionals made it easy to see the attractions. Additionally, I was given recommendations for gourmet spots in Kanazawa, and my wife, who accompanied me, is very satisfied as well.

今回は白川郷と何より五箇山の2ヶ所を効率良く旅行出来ました。以前は安芸の宮島と平和公園、原爆ドームんを巡りましたが時間と費用が掛かり、見所のポイントも分からず苦労しました。旅行のプロが企画したツアーはわかり易く楽に見所を見て回る事が出来ました。
それと、金沢のグルメスポットも教えて頂き同行の妻もとても満足しています。

The Gunkanjima cruise, which had been postponed due to COVID-19, enjoyed favorable weather. Despite being December, the sea was calm and the weather was pleasantly warm. It has been 40 years since the island became uninhabited, and the reason for its World Heritage registration was surprisingly unexpected.

コロナで延期が続いた軍艦島クルーズは天候に恵まれ、１２月なのに海が穏やかでポカポカした陽気。無人化して４０年、世界遺産の登録理由は、意外なものでした。

Among the various island tours offered, I believe this tour is a recommended course that efficiently visits three islands with a variety of transportation options including cruises, buses, and water buffalo carts. The Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island was guided by a female captain who provided clear explanations about the mangroves as we slowly made our way. The bus driver provided a fun island guide while taking us to the water buffalo cart boarding area for Yubu Island. After transferring to the water buffalo cart and listening to the sound of the sanshin, we arrived in no time.

There was a lunch and free time on Yubu Island, but as noted in other reviews, there was no explanation about when to eat lunch. Since we arrived at 11:00, I thought it was a bit early, and while I was wandering around, others had already started their meals. I think it would have been better to have a more detailed explanation upon arrival.

We then took the boat to Taketomi Island. First, we went by bus to Kaiji Beach for about 15 minutes of star sand searching, but we only got a brief view of Kondoi Beach from the car. At the tourist center, we boarded the water buffalo cart, but even though it wasn't crowded, we had to wait nearly 20 minutes here, which felt like a significant time loss. We took the eastern course, but the water buffalo today seemed quite leisurely, moving at a rather slow pace, which was amusing.

We were pressed for time on the return boat, and although I wanted to look at souvenirs at the Taketomi Island boarding area, there was no time to enter the building, and we hurriedly left the island. Throughout the day, I felt that there was no break time, so even if you wanted to use the restroom or take a moment before getting on the next vehicle, it was just move, move, move. I think consideration is needed for elderly people and those with small children. Overall, I believe this is an ideal course for touring the islands in one day.

各社の離島ツアーを検討した中、このツアーは効率的に３島を巡りクルーズ、バス、水牛と乗り物も充実したお薦めのコースだと思います。西表島での仲間川クルーズは女性の船長さんがマングローブなど分かりやすく解説しながらゆっくり進んでくれました。由布島行きの水牛車乗り場まではバスの運転手さんが楽しく島内ガイドをしながら案内してくれます。水牛車へ移り三線の音色を聞きながらアッという間に到着。由布島でランチと自由時間があるのですが他の方の投稿にもあったようにいつランチを食べるのか説明がなく島に到着したのが11時だったので少し早いと思いブラブラしていたら他の方は既に食事を開始されていたので到着時にもう少し丁寧な説明があれば良かったかと思います。再び船に乗って竹富島に行きます。最初にバスでカイジ浜に行き15分ほど星砂探し、コンドイビーチは車の中から少し見るだけでした。観光センターに行き水牛車に乗るのですが、混んでも無いのにここで20分近く待たされかなり時間ロスを感じました。東コースを周りましたが今日の牛さんはのんびり屋さんのようでかなりスピードが遅かったのはご愛嬌でしょうか。帰りの船の時間がギリギリで竹富島の船乗り場でお土産を見たかったけど建物に入る時間も無くあわただしく島を後にしました。１日を通して感じたのは乗り物に乗る前とかトイレに行きたいなーと思っても休憩時間が無く直ぐに移動、移動、移動なのでお年寄りや小さなお子様連れの方には配慮が必要かと感じました。全然的には１日で離島を巡るには理想のコースだと思います。

I was hoping there wouldn't be too many people, but when I arrived on the day, there were only three participants!! It was almost like a private event.

Manzamo: It was my first visit in five years, and I was surprised at how much it had changed! It's a shame they started charging 100 yen, but I think it was worth more than that.

Nago Pineapple Park: First visit. You can ride a cart or walk, and I chose to walk and explore. The route explanation was a bit unhelpful, but overall it was good. I found it a bit strange that the dinosaur section appeared suddenly, but it wasn't bad. The pineapple juice and wine were delicious!

Kouri Island: Second visit. The sea was incredibly beautiful! If it had been summer, I would have jumped into the water.

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium: Second visit. You can see dolphin shows and explore various attractions inside, so I'd like to visit again.

Okashi Goten: The music was addictive and really stuck in my head (laughs).

I want to visit with my family!

人数あまり、多くないようにと祈ってましたが、当日行って見るとまさか参加者3名!!
ほぼ貸し切り状態。

万座毛：5年ぶりの再訪問　かなり変わってびっくりした!
そして、100円取るようになったのは残念だけど100円以上の価値があったと思う。

ナゴパイナップルパーク：初訪問。
カートを乗ってもいいし、徒歩でもよし、徒歩で歩いて観光しました。
順路の説明がやや不親切だが、いいと思います。
いきなり、恐竜パートが出るのはコンセプト的に変に思ったが、悪くはなかった。　パインアップルジュース、ワインおいしゅうございました！

古宇利島：2回目
流石の綺麗な海！　夏だったら海に飛び込んだはず

美ら海水族館：2回目
イルカショーなども見れるし、館内で色々観光できるので、また、利用してみたい。

御菓子御殿
音楽が中毒性あって、凄く耳に残った(笑)

家族で利用してみたい！

The Yanbaru area is quite challenging to visit on your own, so I joined this tour. Before getting on the bus, we sanitized our hands, and inside the bus, we were seated with space between each group, which made me feel safe while sightseeing.

Although the time spent at each location felt short, I was able to experience the richness of nature through my senses. In particular, I was very satisfied with being able to walk at my own pace and connect with the nature of Yanbaru at the Oishi Forest Mountain!

Additionally, the seafood for lunch and the souvenir snacks were both very delicious.

やんばるエリアは自力で行くには大変なので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。バスに入る前に手指消毒をし、バス内もグループ毎に間隔を空けて座っていたので安心して観光することができました。
各所を巡るため、それぞれの滞在時間は短く感じたものの、五感を通して自然の豊かさを知ることができました。特に、大石林山は自分のペースで歩きながらやんばるの自然に触れることができて大満足です！
また、昼食の海鮮もお土産のお菓子もとても美味しかったです。

This is my second time using this service in Hawaii. They are always punctual, attentive, and have strong COVID-19 measures in place. The drivers and guides are kind, and they take you to places that typical tours don't go, providing a wealth of sightseeing experiences. I definitely want to use this service for my next overseas trip. I’m counting on you. Thank you!

今回ハワイと2回目利用です。
いつも時間に正確で、気が利いていて、コロナ対策もしっかりして、ドライバーさんガイドさん親切でツアーでは、行ってくれない所に、惜しみなく行ってくれ、盛りだくさんな観光をしてくれます。
次回、海外旅行で、是非利用したい。頼りにしてます。よろしくお願いします。

I visited Miyako Island for the first time. I wanted to enjoy the beauty of the ocean, so I joined a tour that offered both canoeing and snorkeling!

The water's clarity is incredible!! Even while riding in the canoe, it feels like I'm flying in the sky.

Diving into the ocean was even more moving...

Within just five minutes of starting snorkeling, I encountered a turtle! I was able to get close enough to reach out my hand!

I was healed by the vibrant fish and had the best time!!

初めて訪れて宮古島。海のキレイさを楽しみたく、カヌーとシュノーケーリングが両方できるツアーに参加しました!

海の水の透明度がハンパない!!
カヌーに乗っているのに、まるで空を飛んでいるかのように感じます。

海に潜ると更に感動・・・・

シュノーケリング開始5分でカメにも遭遇!
手が届くほどの距離まで近付くことが出来ましたーー

鮮やかな魚に癒され、最高の時間を過ごす事が出来ました!!

On the day of the trip, we took a boat to Taketomi Island at 1:00 PM, and we were guided around the village in a water buffalo cart for just under 30 minutes. We had free time until our return boat, so we strolled around the village. Walking around the streets is manageable in about an hour.

As a suggestion for improvement, I would like to be guided to the boarding boat. When it was time to board the return boat, I didn’t realize that the schedule posted at the boarding area was different from the boarding time for this tour, and despite being in the waiting room, I ended up missing the boat. The weather suddenly turned rough, and there was a risk that the 4:50 PM boat would be canceled, so I had to negotiate to get on a completely different boat to make it back to Ishigaki Island.

I feel that important details, such as discrepancies in the schedule, should be announced in advance.

当日は13:00発の船で竹富島へ向かい、30分弱水牛車で竹富島の集落を案内してもらいました。帰りの船便までの残り時間は自由に過ごせるので、集落を歩いて散策していました。街並みを歩いて見て周るのも、1時間あれば十分です。

今後の改善要求として、乗船する船へ誘導してもらいたい。帰りの便に乗る際、乗船場に掲示されている時刻表と、このツアーの乗船時刻が異なることに気が付かず、待合室にいたにも関わらず船に乗り遅れてしまいました。天候も突如として荒れてきて、16:50の船が欠航になる恐れがあった為、急遽全く別の船に乗せてもらえるよう交渉して何とか石垣島まで帰ってきました。

時刻表と異なる点など、事前に注意事項をアナウンスすべきだと感じました。

The weather was nice, but the waves were high, making it impossible to land both in the morning and afternoon. (A few people got seasick along the way, and the staff seemed to have a tough time. It’s definitely essential to have motion sickness medication.)
Although we couldn't land, we were able to slowly circle around Gunkanjima and thoroughly observe the ruins.
Onboard, they provided various explanations, not just about Gunkanjima, allowing us to have a fulfilling time.

お天気はよかったのですが、波が高く、上陸は午前も午後もできない日でした。（途中で、船酔いの方が数名いらして、スタッフの方も大変そうでした。やはり酔い止めは必須ですね。）
上陸はできませんでしたが、軍艦島をゆっくりと１周回ってくださり、廃墟の様子はしっかりと確認できました。
船内では、軍艦島のことだけではなく、いろいろな説明をして下さり、充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
