All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I had a great time participating while listening to the guide's stories and the songs played on the sanshin at the sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island. The optional glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay was also wonderful, with the colors of the sea being incredibly beautiful, creating great memories.

石垣島の観光名所を、ガイドのおじさんのお話や、三線の唄を聴きながら楽しく参加出来ました。オプションの川平湾グラスボートも、海の色が素晴らしく綺麗で、良い思い出になりました。

It was more efficient to see the sights on the islands by joining a tour rather than buying tickets individually. I recommend joining a tour for those who want to visit multiple islands in one day! In this tour, we had enough time to relax on the highlights of the islands, Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island, which was great. Even though it was January, the weather was nice, and the blue of the sea was striking.

個人で船のチケットを買って離島を回るよりも効率よく見所を観光できました。
１日で複数島を回りたい人は、ツアーに入ることをオススメします！
その中でも今回のツアーは、離島の目玉にしていた西表島と竹富島で、ゆっくり滞在する時間が取れたのでよかったです。
１月でしたが天気も良く、海の青さも際立っていました。

Very well organised and a good trip to see Mt Fuji from different perspectives. This was from going onto Fuji, we went to the 4th station because the winter snow prevented us from going to the 5th station. It didnt matter that we couldnt go further as it was a great view out. Then we moved on to lunch at the theme park and although this was an option it was worth it to have been served very well with good food. We sat in a lovely French decorated dining room with an amazing view of Mount Fuji. Then on to a boat trip on the lake to see Fuji from this viewpoint and we were lucky to have a cold but very clear day to see its beauty. After the lake we moved on to the cable car which took us up to another viewpoint to see Fuji and and town below. All great photo opportunities and a great experience for a tourist to capture Mt Fuji at its best.

On the first day in Yakushima, I used a half-day plan in the afternoon. After landing on a direct flight from Osaka, I was able to start sightseeing in Yakushima right away, making the most of my time. Additionally, I was picked up at the airport and dropped off at my hotel at the end, which helped save on transportation costs.

Since it was an off-season weekday, I was the only participant, and a taxi came to pick me up. The fact that the tour operates even for just one person is impressive. The taxi driver accompanied me on the 50-minute course at Yakusugi Land and provided a thorough guide.

Choosing this course on the first day was the right decision, as it allowed me to gain some background knowledge about Yakushima. With a dedicated private guide for 2,500 yen, the cost performance is remarkable.

屋久島１日目に午後半日プランを利用しました。大阪からの直行便を降りてすぐに屋久島観光に入れるので、時間を無駄なくすごせます。さらに空港で拾ってもらい、最後はホテルまで送ってもらえるので、移動のための費用も節約できます。
オフシーズンの平日だったので、利用者は私だけで、タクシーが迎えにきていました。一人でも催行というのが、このツアーの凄いところです。タクシーの運転手さんが、屋久杉ランドの５０分コースを一緒に回ってくれ、丁寧にガイドしてくださいました。
屋久島の予備知識を仕入れるという意味でも初日にこのコースを選択して正解でした。
貸し切り専属ガイドがついて２５００円ですから、脅威のコストパフォーマンスですね。

When I come to Okinawa, I always participate in this Churaumi Aquarium bus tour. The price is reasonable, and I was able to enjoy the stunning views of Kouri Island and Manzamo. This time, the course also included a stroll through American Village for the first time, making for a fulfilling Okinawa sightseeing experience. This bus tour is undoubtedly the best tour.

沖縄に来た時は、必ずこの美ら海水族館バスツアーに参加します。料金もリーズナブルですし、古宇利島、万座毛の絶景も堪能出来、また今回初めてアメリカンビレッジの散策がコースに追加され、充実した沖縄観光が出来ました。このバスツアーは文句なしでベストツアーです。

I couldn't see anything in the reviews! However, I participated in various tours in Hokkaido, so I understand that the chances of encountering wildlife are low. Still, the experience of walking through the jungle on Iriomote Island was indeed difficult without a guide, but I was able to catch glimpses of various ecosystems. I was able to see the starry sky during the tour, so I recommend participating during the new moon.

レビューで何も見れなかった！等ありますが、北海道等で様々なツアーに参加致しましたので、野性動物等に巡り会える可能性が低いのは承知の上で参加しております。
それでも西表島のジャングルの中を歩く体験は、やはりガイドさん無しでは難しく、様々な生態系を垣間見ることが出来ました。
星空はツアー途中で見ることができましたので、新月の時の参加をオススメします。

I booked a bus tour and a water buffalo cart. We departed from Ishigaki Port at 1 PM, enjoyed the bus tour, the water buffalo cart, and had some free time for sightseeing, then returned to Ishigaki Port on the first ferry from Taketomi Island at 4 PM. The guidance at various points was accurate, so I didn't get lost and had a great time!

バス観光と水牛車を申し込みました。午後１時に石垣港を出港し、バス観光、水牛車、自由観光して、午後４時の竹富島初の船で石垣港へ戻りました。所々での案内も的確で迷うことも無く、満喫出来ました！

We were picked up at the hotel and arrived at the stargazing spot in the dark. It was a cloudy day during the rainy season, but we were able to observe Orion and surrounding stars through the gaps in the clouds. The guide shared the names of the stars and stories from Greek mythology. After that, we moved to the starting point of the night jungle tour, progressing along a narrow path overgrown with vegetation that is rarely seen in the mainland. While searching for wildlife and insects, we only managed to find a hermit crab, a spider, a gecko, and a sand crab, as it was winter. The knowledgeable guide provided information about the names and characteristics of the plants we encountered, and we could also ask about different plants and phenomena that can be seen in other seasons, making me want to visit again in a different season. The day's temperatures were a high of 18°C and a low of 13°C, but it was cold with the north wind when we went out to sea. However, in the jungle, walking around made it feel just right even with a light jacket. They provided us with rubber boots, so we felt secure walking through puddles in the jungle and along the beach.

ホテルまでお迎えに来て頂き、
暗闇の中星空の観測地点に到着。
この時期は雨季に当たるそうで当日は晴れ間も見えた曇りの日でしたが、
雲間からオリオン座と周辺の星を観測することができ、ガイドさんが星の名前やギリシャ神話を教えて下さりました。
その後はナイトジャングルツアーの出発地点まで移動、
「内地」ではなかなか目にすることの無い草木の茂った細道を進みます。
野生動物や昆虫を探しながら進みますが、さすがに冬の時期で発見できたのは「ヤドカリ」「蜘蛛」「ヤモリ」「スナガニ」、あとは潮だまりの魚たちだけでした。
博識なガイドさんがその場その場で植物の名前や知識を教えて下さることはもちろん、違う季節に見られる動植物や現象についても伺うことができ、また是非違う季節にも訪れたいと思いました。
服装としては最高気温18℃、最低気温13℃の一日でしたが海に出ると北風が冷たく寒かったですが、ジャングルの中では歩いていることもあり羽織があっても丁度よく感じる程度で、足元は長靴をお貸し頂けるのでジャングルないの水溜まりや海辺も安心でした。

The guide was very polite and provided detailed explanations about plants and constellations. It was a shame that we could see the hermit crab, but not the coconut crab or wild birds.

丁寧なガイドさんでした、植物や星座の事を詳しく説明頂きました。
ヤドカリが見られましたが、ヤシガニや野鳥などが見られなかったのは、残念でした。

I was excited to find creatures in the jungle at night, and I was moved by the starry sky peeking through the clouds on the beach at night. It was a valuable experience, even though the north wind was cold.

夜のジャングルで生き物を見つけてはしゃぎ、夜の浜辺に出て雲間の星空に感動し、北風が寒かったけど貴重な体験でした。

Was lucky to get the rebate plan (2for 1) (rebate will only come in after review) for our trip.
As my family and I weren’t prepared for this trip due to our busy schedule, I only booked it on 22nd Jan(midnight) when I was already in Okinawa. It was confirmed very quickly with details sent within 10hours.

Pickup:
The pickup was at hotel lobby(wasn’t clear on pickup point)
The bus was a little late that day, made my mom frantic and afraid that we were at the wrong pickup point. Attendance was easy and smooth.

First 2 locations:
Scenic and the time given was just perfect. There isn’t much around the area so have a good look & take photos & move on.

Lunch: I DIDN’T GET TO EAT LUNCH
The restaurant opposite the shopping place was full and had no seats to accommodate more guest. There wasn’t any selection to choose lunch so I didn’t get to eat. :)))) again, there weren’t other restaurants to eat at other than a buffet hotpot. Lunchtime was about 50mins so no buffet, don’t waste money.

Churaumi:
Easy & smooth entry. Reach around 2 pm
The bus was to leave at 4 pm. Ok here’s what I’m ??? about:
Dolphin show was 3pm & 3.30pm(dolphin feeding) finishes at about 3.50pm. Bus Bay is 10-15mins of walk back, so we rushed. Imagine elderlies walking, it would take time quite a while. The bus should leave at 4.15 pm for guest to enjoy the shows.

Nago pineapple park:
Time should be extended by 10mins.

Overall, good experience. The guide distributed snacks and kept doing headcounts before we left just to Ensure everyone’s on board. She was very friendly too!

That’s all folks!

This was a great opportunity to see some of the country without doing the driving. The aquarium was great and there were many other sights to enjoy. Due to the language barrier, there were times when it was a bit confusing, however the wonderful guide went out of her way to explain things and showed us great kindness. I highly recommend this trip.

This is my second time on the bus tour to the aquarium. The tour organized by Cellulian Tour was excellent, with the experienced guide providing thorough and attentive explanations. In addition to verbal explanations, the supplementary information through panels (diagrams/photos), the rental of GPS-enabled foreign language guide devices for foreign participants, and the singing and dancing were all aspects that impressed me with the unique guiding service compared to other tours. It would be very helpful for me, as someone with hearing difficulties, if explanations could be provided using a microphone between the meeting point at Palette Kumojii and DFS.

水族館へのバスツアーは、今回が2回目です。このセルリアンツアーさん主催のツアーは、経験豊富なガイドさんの懇切丁寧な説明が、大変良かったです。言葉での説明に加え、パネル（図/写真）での補足説明、外国人参加者へのGPS付き外国語ガイド機器の貸出、歌と踊り等々、他主催のツアーと全く違うガイドサービスに感動致しました。集合場所のパレットくもじ～DFS までの間、マイクを使用して説明頂けたら、難聴の私は大変助かります。

You can efficiently explore during the afternoon. There was information about celebrities from Ishigaki, and we enjoyed the guide's sanshin performance and singing. Although it was unfortunately rainy and windy that day, we were able to see many fish and corals while on the glass-bottom boat. It was great that it was a tour that a woman could easily join alone.

午後からの時間で効率よく回ってくれます。石垣出身の芸能人の情報あり、ガイドさんの三線や歌ありで楽しめました。当日は生憎の雨と風でしたがグラスボートでは魚や珊瑚がたくさん見られました。女性一人でも気軽に参加できるツアーで良かったです。

It was a wonderful visit to Taketomi Island with a temperature of 26°C even in winter. I signed up for the water buffalo cart tour, and after riding the cart, I rented a bicycle. This was the right choice, as I was able to take a nice ride around the West Pier and the beach, enjoying the beautiful scenery. I definitely want to visit Taketomi Island again and spend some relaxing time there.

I recommend renting a bicycle and suggest staying for as long as possible.

冬なのに26℃という気温でとてもすばらしい竹富島観光でした。
水牛車コースのツアーを申し込みましたが、水牛車に乗ったあとで
レンタサイクルを借りました。
これが正解で、西桟橋やビーチをぐるっと一回りして素晴らしい景
色を見ることができました。
是非また竹富島に行ってのんびりとした時間を過ごしたいです。

自転車を借りることをおすすめします
時間はできる限り長い時間の滞在をおすすめします

In January on Ishigaki Island, I was worried about the weather. However, whether it was due to good fortune or because one of the tour participants was a sunny person, I was able to enjoy the best starry sky. The stars viewed from a completely dark place without any streetlights were just like a planetarium. Before seeing the stars, I encountered a coconut crab, frogs, and a hermit crab, and on the way back, I saw an owl perched on a power line. The guide was also very good at storytelling, and I had a wonderful time.

1月の石垣島なので天候が心配でした。
が、日頃の行いが良いのか、ツアー参加者の中に晴れ〇〇〇さんがいたのか
わかりませんが、最高の星空を眺めることができました。
街灯などの灯りがまったくない真っ暗なところで見る星空はプラネタリウム
そのものでした。
星空を見る前に、ヤシガニやカエル、ヤドカリなどにも出会え、帰り道では
電線にフクロウがとまっているのが見えました。
ガイドさんもお話しが上手な方で、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I wanted to visit Taketomi Island, which is easily accessible from Ishigaki Island, so I used this tour. The reason I chose this tour is that it's incredibly affordable! The round trip to Taketomi Island costs about 1,400 yen, and the water buffalo cart ride is 1,500 yen, but this tour is only 2,000 yen total!

Once you receive your tickets directly at the counter, you can board the boat individually, and they provide transportation to the water buffalo cart. You can choose to return at either 4 PM or 5 PM, allowing you to stroll around Taketomi Island or rent a bicycle without feeling rushed.

If you're going to Taketomi Island, I absolutely recommend this tour. I will definitely use it again!

石垣島に行くと気軽に行ける島、竹富島に行きたくて利用しました。
このツアーを選んだ理由は、とにかくおトクだからです！！
竹富島まで行くのに往復で1,400円位と、水牛車で1,500円かかる所が、このツアーは全部で2,000円！
ツアーも直接カウンターでチケットをもらえば後は個人で船に乗って送迎してくれて水牛車に乗って
帰りの時間も16時か17時が選べるので、竹富島内で散歩したりレンタサイクルしたりと、時間の制約も焦らず気ままに過ごせました。
竹富島に行くなら、このツアーが絶対一押しです。また絶対利用します！！

Our arrival was an hour earlier, and when I asked if we could move our participation time up, they kindly agreed! My 3-year-old daughter was thrilled to find star sand. It was impossible to rent bikes with a child, so the bus was a great help!

到着が1時間早くなり、参加時間を前倒しできないか相談したら快く受けてくださいました！
３歳の娘は星の砂を見つけて大喜び。子連れではレンタサイクルは無理なのでバスが助かりました！

IT was excellent trip managed by Veltra.
Very punctual, and tip was well managed and covered all the thing are promised.

I didn't know about Ainokura Village, but when I visited, it had a more atmospheric feel than Shirakawa-go, which I really liked. I thought the rice cracker baking experience wasn't necessary.

相倉集落は知らなかったのですが、行ってみると白川郷より雰囲気があって良かったです
おせんべい焼き体験はなくてもいいかなと思いました

The weather was not favorable, and the scenery wasn't very good. However, after the sightseeing ended, I was dropped off at the airport, which was a great help.

天気に恵まれず、あまり良い景色じゃなかったです
でも、観光が終わり、空港で降ろしていただき
助かりました

I was so moved when I rode it for the first time on Christmas 2018 that I invited my friends to join me on Christmas Day 2019. The weather was great, and I was perfectly prepared for the cold, but with hand warmers and blankets, I wasn't cold at all. Although it took quite a while due to traffic on the highway, I was able to slowly enjoy the most beautiful illuminated scenes that usually pass by in an instant. I was able to take great photos as well. Since it gets incredibly crowded when you actually go to Midosuji, I think viewing it from the bus is the best option. My friends loved it too, and I was glad I invited them. The couple sitting in front of me was incredibly moved.

２０１８年のクリスマスに初めて乗って感動したので、２０１９年のクリスマスの日には、友達を誘って参加しました。お天気もよく、防寒対策完璧で挑みましたが、カイロや毛布もあるので、ぜんぜん寒くなかったです。高速道路の渋滞でかなり時間がかかりましたが、本来なら、ほんの一瞬で通りすぎる、いちばん綺麗なライトアップシーンも、ゆっくり見れました。写真もバッチリ撮影できました。御堂筋に実際に行くとものすごい混雑なので、バスから見るのが、ベストだと思いました。
友達からも大好評で、誘って良かったと思いました。私の前の席の、御夫婦の大感激ぶりがすごかったです。

I was disappointed that Kiyomizu-dera was under exterior renovation. I was really looking forward to it, so I wish they would include notices about ongoing construction in the remarks section. I had heard that punctuality was important, but someone arrived late for the meeting time, which disrupted the tour. I hope that those who cannot be punctual will join by taxi or other means.

清水寺が外装工事をしていて、がっかり。すごく、楽しみにしていたので、備考欄等に工事中などの注意事項を記載して欲しい。時間厳守と聞いていたのに集合時間に遅れて来て、ツアーに支障をきたした。時間厳守できない人は、タクシー等で合流して欲しい。

The guides we met on each island were very friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Since they had all lived in the area for a long time, they kindly shared information about the history, climate, and culture that wasn't included in guidebooks, leading to many discoveries.

各離島でお会いしたガイドの方がとても気さくで、ツアーを充分満喫できました！現地で長くて住まれている方ばかりでしたので、歴史や気候、文化などガイドブックに掲載されていない情報なども親切に教えていただき色々な発見もありました。

The service for the boats and buses was smooth and good. However, since cycling takes time, I wish I could have stayed a little longer.

船やバスの対応はスムーズで良かったです。ただサイクリングに時間がかかるので、もう少し長く滞在できたらいいなぁっと思いました。

During the New Year, I traveled for the first time. It was crowded, but they took plenty of time, allowing me to look around slowly. They also explained things in a way that was easy for foreigners to understand.

お正月、初めて旅行しました、人混みでしたが、時間をたくさん取ってくれて、ゆっくり見れました
外国の方にもわかりやすく説明してました

Of course, walking is a given for sightseeing, but until I got on the first bus, I walked a lot. It was like I was at the level of taking a taxi. My feet were sore. The tour guide was walking quickly, and I was desperately trying to keep up without losing sight of them. Somehow, the 5,000 yen felt expensive. I won't do this again. It's definitely better to go on my own using public transportation.

観光で歩くのは勿論当たり前ですが最初のバスに乗るまで、まぁ歩く歩く。タクシーに乗るレベルです。それで足はパンパン。添乗員は早足で、とっとと行くし見失わず追いつくのに必死。なんだか五千円が高く思えました。次はないです。公共交通機関で自分で行く方が断然マシです。

We participated on January 2nd. Although it was the New Year, we were the only participants. There were probably only about 20 people on the mountain, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. We could walk at our own pace and really appreciated the guide's explanations. I think winter is recommended since the hiking trails can get congested in the summer. I haven't done much hiking, but I had prepared to some extent, so I didn't experience any muscle soreness. It might be tough for those who don't exercise at all. It's better to have rain gear because you never know when it might rain.

1/2に参加。年始でしたが参加者は私たちのみ。山自体もおそらく20人ほどしかおらず、貸切状態。ゆっくり自分たちのペースで歩け、しっかり説明も聞けてやはりガイドさんのありがたみを感じました。夏は登山道も渋滞するらしいので冬、おすすめだと思いました。登山ほとんどしたことないですがある程度事前準備をしていたので筋肉痛とかもなし。全く運動しない方にはしんどいかもです。雨具はあった方がいいです。雨はいつ降るかわからないです。

I participated during the New Year. We were blessed with clear skies and leisurely explored Taketomi Island with a water buffalo.

I've joined the water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island multiple times, but each time brings new discoveries and enjoyment thanks to the guides and the water buffalo.

Sometimes, I want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a slow-paced time like this. With the ferry and water buffalo included, I believe this price is the best offered by Veltra.

After the glass-bottom boat and water buffalo tour, we had a little time before the ferry, so we walked to the pier.

It was a bit chilly to go into the sea, but we had a very pleasant time. Thank you very much.

お正月に参加しました。晴天に恵まれ、水牛でのんびりと竹富島を散策しました。
　竹富島の水牛観光は、何回も参加していますが、ガイドさんや水牛によって、毎回新しい発見や楽しみがあります。
　たまには都会の喧騒から離れて、こんな風にゆっくりとした時間を感じたいですね。フェリーと水牛、グラスボード込みでこの価格は、ベルトラさんが最安値ではないでしょうか。
　グラスボード、水牛観光の後、フェリーの時間まで少し時間があったため、桟橋まで歩いて向かいました。
　海に入るには少し冷たい時期でしたので、とても気持ちがよい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。
