All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

While I was researching various things on the internet, I found a one-day tour and signed up for it. I went without fully understanding the details, but I really enjoyed the SUP and the limestone caves. Lastly, the experience at Barasu Island, which is a bit offshore, was indescribably moving. It's not often that you can feel nature in the local area, but experiencing it again after a long time was exciting. I'm glad I could come here with someone special.

インターネットでいろいろと調べていたら
1日セットのツアーがあったので申し込みました。内容をイマイチ理解せずに行ったけど、
SUPや鍾乳洞が楽しかったです。
最後に、船でちょっと沖に出たとこにあるバラス島は、なかなか言い表せない感動がありました。地元ではなかなか自然を感じることはないけど、久しぶりに体感するとワクワクするものがありますね。
大切な人と一緒に来れて良かったです。

Iriomote Island is said to be often cloudy, but we were fortunate with the weather and were able to see a beautiful starry sky.
On the jungle tour, I was able to see many creatures, including some that I can't find in my area, which was a lot of fun!
I also saw a coconut crab for the first time, and it was really cool!
The staff were very kind and left a great impression. Lying down in a park without streetlights to watch the stars was a unique experience that I will truly cherish.
Thank you very much!
I highly recommend it for those who love nature and wildlife!

西表島は曇りが多いそうですが、天候にも恵まれ綺麗な星空をみることができました。
ジャングルツアーでは沢山の生き物を見ることができました。私の住んでいる地域では見れない生き物も沢山いて楽しむことができました！
ヤシガニも初めて見ましたが、かっこよかったです！
スタッフの方もとても親切で好印象でした。街灯の無い公園で寝そべり星をみたりなど、なかなかできない体験ができて本当にいい思い出になりました。
りがとうございました(^ ^)
自然や生き物が好きな方にはオススメです！

Due to the tide, we went to Baras Island, and afterward, we experienced a limestone cave and tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the afternoon. The weather was clear in the morning, and Baras Island looked stunning, which was truly moving. Inside the limestone cave, it was cool and comfortable. We were able to see creatures like lizards and freshwater shrimp. In the afternoon, it started to rain a bit, but that added to the jungle atmosphere and was interesting. It was my first time trying SUP, and surprisingly, I was able to balance well and had a lot of fun. I would like to join another tour next time.

潮位の関係でバラス島に行ってその後に鍾乳洞、お昼過ぎからSUPの体験をしました。
午前中晴天でバラス島が映えていて、感動しました。鍾乳洞では、中に入るとひんやりしていて心地よかったです。トカゲやテナガエビなどの生き物が見れました。
午後から少し雨模様になったのですがそれもそれでジャングル感がでて面白かったです。初めて、SUPをしたけど意外と乗れて楽しかったです。次は別のツアーにも参加してみたいです。

I took my first solo trip to Iriomote Island. Since I was a beginner at solo travel, I made a reservation with pipi, which was the first option that came up on the web. Since I was going to participate anyway, I signed up for a package that included three tours. My impression of the experience was extremely satisfying. Thanks to the guide's support, I was able to stand up on the SUP board right away, and it was clear that they prioritized safety during the cave tour. Additionally, during the final tour on the coral island, they took a lot of photos for me and sent them to me right away for social media. I think everyone, whether traveling solo, with family, or as a couple, can enjoy this experience!

はじめての男一人旅を西表島でしました。
一人旅初心者だったので、ウェブで1番最初に出てきたpipiさんに予約しました。
どうせ参加するならと３つのツアーに参加できるパックに申し込みました。
参加した感想は非常に大満足です。
サップボードもガイドさんの協力により、すぐに立てるようになりましたし、鍾乳洞も安全にツアーを遂行することを心がけているのが伝わりました。そして、最後のサンゴの島でのツアーは写真をたくさん撮っていただき、写真もすぐにSNSで送っていただけました。
一人旅する方も家族の方もカップルの方もみなさん楽しめると思います！

I participated in a one-day tour of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo + Taiko Rock. I noticed that many people were traveling without a guide, which made me wonder if I could have done the same. However, I felt that it was better to have a guide at first. Those without a guide seemed to be focused solely on reaching their destination and were just walking without much thought. While I initially thought having a guide meant moving slowly, I realized that walking at a leisurely pace allowed for many discoveries and I learned a lot. Since people go to Yakushima seeking an extraordinary experience, I recommend taking deep breaths and enjoying the ancient forest as you walk.

縄文杉1日、白谷雲水峡➕太鼓岩1日のツアーに参加しました。
ガイド無しで旅行されてる方も多くいたので、自分もガイド無しでも良かったのかな？と道中思いましたが、やはり最初はガイド有りにすべきだろう、と感じました。
ガイド無しの方は目的地に行くことだけが目的となって只管歩いていた様に思えます。ガイド有るとゆっくりやなぁ、と思っていましたが、ゆっくり歩くことで色々な気づきがありましたし、沢山の事を教えて頂けました。
非日常を求めて屋久島に行くのでしょうから、何度も深呼吸して太古の森を感じながら歩く事をお勧めします。

I wasn't very confident in my physical strength, so I was looking for a course with a shorter distance. On the day of the event, it was just the two of us participating. The guide gave off a bit of a scary impression, but in reality, they were very kind, offering us snacks during breaks, providing detailed explanations about how much longer we had to go, and being attentive to our walking pace. We had a lot of fun participating. The scenery was amazing. There were some steep areas and slippery spots, so I think it would be tough in the rain. I participated in June during the rainy season, and while I was prepared for rain, it didn't rain, and it was just cloudy, which was really great.

体力にあまり自信が無かったので、なるべく距離の短いコースを探していました。
当日は、私たち2人だけでの参加でした。
ガイドさんは、ちょっと怖そうな感じの印象を持ったのですが、実際は、休憩の際に持参のお菓子をくれたり、後どれ位とか、説明も詳しくしてくれたり、歩くペースを気にしてくれたり、とても楽しく参加出来ました。
景色は最高でした。
アップダウンの激しい所があったり、滑りやすい場所があったので、雨降りの時は厳しいと思います。
6月の参加で梅雨時、雨は覚悟していたのですが、雨は降らず、曇り空だったので本当に良かったです。

After arriving at Yakushima Airport on the day of the event, I participated in the Yakuzaru tour in the afternoon. Initially, I was scheduled to take a direct flight from Itami Airport to Yakushima, but that flight was canceled, so I had to change to a flight via Kagoshima at the last minute. I received a confirmation call the day before and another call on the day itself, which showed that they were attentive to my participation.

I traveled by taxi with two men who were also participating, making a total of five people including the driver. Since there were three of us in the back seat, it felt a bit cramped on the winding mountain roads. It was raining, but I was happy to be lent a large umbrella, as my small one wouldn't have been very useful.

It was great that the explanations were thorough both inside the car and outside.

当日屋久島空港へ到着後、午後からやくざる号へ参加しました。
当初、伊丹空港よりの直行便で屋久島入りする予定でしたが、欠便となり、急遽鹿児島経由で屋久島入りの便に変更になったので、前日確認の連絡と、当日もう一度連絡をいただき、参加の件で気にかけていただきました。
午前中より参加の男性2人と一緒、タクシーでの移動でした。
運転手さんも含め5人での移動でしたので、カーブが多い山道、後部座席3人はちょっと窮屈でした。
雨も降っていたのですが、大きな傘を貸していただけて自分の小さな傘では役に立たなそうだったので、嬉しかったです。
車内でも、外でも丁寧に説明していただけて良かったです。

The guide was a very nice person. One person retired, but the way they handled the retiree was wonderful. I think we would have gotten lost without the guide. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんがとてもいい人でした。
1人リタイアしましたが、リタイア者への対応も素敵でした。
ガイドさんがいなかったら、遭難していたと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。

I considered sightseeing with a rental car, but I wasn't very confident about driving in an unfamiliar area, so I signed up for this tour. It was a tour that efficiently covered the highlights of Okinawa. The guide and the driver were both pleasant, and I was able to have a great time. Thank you very much!

レンタカーでの観光も考えたのですが、知らない土地での運転にあまり自信がないので、このツアーを申し込みました。
沖縄の見どころを効率よく観光できるツアーでした。
ガイドさん、運転手さんも感じが良く、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました

I enjoyed the scenery that I don't usually see while mingling with foreign tourists. I had fun getting off at various stops along the Blue and Red lines.

外国観光客に混ざりながら、日頃見られない景色を堪能しました。ブルー、レッドのコースを途中下車しながら楽しみました。

Tour was exactly as advertised.

Great mix of tour information, mixed with opportunities for a few minutes to explore on your own at each stop.

I was traveling alone and wanted to see the highlights of Kyoto and Nara in one day.

Tour group size was good.

I participated in the 2:30 PM boat. It was cheaper than arranging it individually, so it was a good deal. After seeing the water buffalo, I rented a bicycle for an hour. Since I had to catch the return boat by 5 PM, it felt rushed. The second floor of the boat is hot like a sauna, so I recommend sitting downstairs in the summer. I'm glad I could leave my luggage.

14時30分の船で参加しました。個人で手配するより安く行けてお得です。水牛の後、自転車を1時間借りました。帰りの船が17時までに乗らないといけないので、時間が短くてバタバタでした。
船の2階はサウナのように暑いので、夏は下に乗るのがオススメ。
荷物を預けられて良かったです

It's a tour that allows you to visit both Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World at once, and it's a great deal. I was impressed by the guide's detailed explanations for such a price.

斎場御嶽とおきなわワールドをいっぺんにまわれるツアーなのですがお得なのに、ガイドさんのマメな説明がこの値段で良いのかと思いました。

Since I was traveling with my elderly mother and uncle and aunt, I chose this tour as it seemed manageable. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, it was good to see that the elderly group was able to enjoy Ishigaki Island to some extent.

This tour may not be recommended for those who want to spend a lot of time at one location or for those looking to be very active, but I think it’s a good plan for those who want to efficiently enjoy Ishigaki Island.

後期高齢者の母と叔父・叔母夫婦を連れての観光だったので、あまり無理のなさそうなこのツアーを選びました。雨が降ったり止んだりの生憎の天気ではありましたが、高齢者御一行もそれなりに石垣島を堪能してくれたようで良かったです。
一箇所にたっぷり時間をかけて楽しみたいと言う人やアクティブに体を動かしたいと言う人にはオススメではないですが、効率的に石垣島を楽しみたいと言う人には良いプランだと思います。

I was able to visit Shirakawa-go, which I had wanted to go to for a long time. Unfortunately, there was little snow, but I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The tour was also smooth. I made a mistake with the lunch time, and the guide kindly came to find me while I was looking for it. I apologize for the trouble I caused. Thank you very much.

ずっと行きたかった白川郷に行けました。残念ながら雪は少なかったのですが、ゆっくり楽しめました。ツアーもスムーズでした。
ランチの時間を間違えていて、探しながら呼びに来てくださり、とても優しいガイドさんでした。その節はご迷惑をおかけしました。ありがとうございました。

The weather was not great, but we were attended to by a kind driver, and my elderly mother was satisfied. Thank you very much.

お天気はイマイチでしたが、親切な運転手さんに応対していただき、高齢の母も満足していました。ありがとうございました。

I arrived early for my best friend's wedding and went island hopping to Iriomote Island. I made a reservation the day before to visit a waterfall and a limestone cave, and I had so much fun like a child on Barasu Island. We also did stand-up paddleboarding on the river, followed by the limestone cave, and then Barasu Island. Everything was enjoyable and created wonderful memories. Moreover, the sea here is incredibly beautiful, far beyond what I am used to back home, and it was truly moving. Since I wanted to make the most of my visit, I am very satisfied.

親友の結婚式の前乗りして、離島巡りで西表島へ、前日予約で滝と鍾乳洞、バラス島に行き子供のようにはしゃぎました。
川でSUPもしてその後に鍾乳洞それからバラス島の流れでした。どれも楽しくていい思いでになりました。また、この海は地元の海とは比べ物にならないくらい、綺麗で感動しました。
せっかくきたからにはたのしんで帰りたいと思っていたので大満足です。

This time, I participated alone. I came to Iriomote Island without a plan, but I happened to meet someone who told me about this tour, and I was able to join. I truly appreciate their willingness to accommodate my last-minute request. It was my first experience with SUP, the limestone caves, and Barasu Island—all of it was new for me. The weather was also favorable, and I made wonderful memories, resulting in a fantastic day. I plan to request this again when I come back to Iriomote Island.

今回は1人で参加しました。
計画を立てずに西表島に来てしまったが、たまたま知り合った方がこのツアーを教えて下さり参加できました。
急なお願いにも対応してくださり、本当に感謝しております。
初めてSUPも鍾乳洞もバラス島を全てが初めての体験で、天候にも恵まれ、いい思い出ができ、最高の一日になりました。
また西表島に来る時もお願いしようと思います。

I was searching for a tour to see coconut crabs in Ishigaki Island and came across this tour. I was overwhelmed by the size of the coconut crabs, which far exceeded my imagination. The size I saw was even bigger than my shoes. Besides coconut crabs, there were also habu snakes, bats, and firefly larvae, which made it interesting.

石垣島でヤシガニが見れるツアーを探していたらここのツアーにたどり着きました,
想像をはるかに超えるヤシガニの大きさに圧倒されました。その時見た大きさは、自分が履いていた靴よりも大きかったです。
ヤシガニ以外にもハブやコウモリ、ホタルの幼虫などもいて面白かったです。

I rode a stand-up paddleboard for the first time in a while, enjoying the view of the mangroves. I tried various styles like yoga and fell a lot, which made me laugh a lot. After that, we went to the limestone cave and Baras Island, where I got to see some rare scenery, which was really great. The guide's explanations were also interesting and fun.

久しぶりにSUPに乗り
マングローブを眺めながら
ヨガなどのいろんな乗り方をして
沢山落ちて沢山笑いました。
その後に鍾乳洞、バラス島に行き
滅多に見れない景色が見れてとても良かったです。ガイドさんの説明も面白く楽しかったです。

I booked this tour to see the starry sky. During the day, it was cloudy and my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised; that night, the sky was filled with stars! The guide also explained various constellations. On the way back, we made a little detour and got to see the night view of Ishigaki Island. It was unexpectedly beautiful, and I was even more moved than by the starry sky. Thank you for the unexpected surprise.

満天の星を見るためにこのツアーを予約しました。
昼間は曇りで期待が薄かったのですが、いい意味で裏切られ、当日の夜は満天の星星星！ガイドさんも様々な星座の解説をしてくださいました。
帰りにちょっと寄り道で、石垣島の夜景も見せていただきました。思いの外綺麗で、星空よりも感動してしまいました。思わぬサプライズをありがとう。

The guide was incredibly kind and took great care of us until the end! He patiently answered all my questions, from things about Ishigaki Island to personal matters, without getting angry, and it truly became a fun night tour! I will definitely rely on Pipi again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

ガイドのお兄さんがとにかく優しく最後まで良くしてくれました！
石垣島の事からプライベートの事まで質問だらけの私にも怒らず親切に何でも教えて頂き本当に楽しい夜のツアーとなりました！
是非また石垣島に来た際はピピさんにお世話になります！

I requested a one-day tour, and each tour took a lot of photos, which became wonderful memories. The guide was very interesting, polite, and taught us a lot about Iriomote Island, so I was very satisfied.

1日ツアーをお願いしましたが、どのツアーもたくさん写真を撮って下さり、とてもいい記念になりました。
ガイドさんもとても面白く、丁寧で、西表島のことをたくさん教えてくださり、大満足です。

I participated in a night tour in the jungle for the first time in my life! I was fine with bugs, but I was worried that my son might be scared. However, he was very curious about the insects and plants he saw for the first time and had a great time. Even when we asked the guide questions, he provided explanations that were easy to understand for my son and people of various ages, making it a very good experience and educational. My son said he wants to go again, so I think I might consider going to Ishigaki Island again if the opportunity arises.

人生で初めて、ジャングルでのナイトツアーに参加しました！私は虫とかは平気だったんですが、息子が怖がらないか不安でした。ですが、息子も初めて見る昆虫や植物に興味津々ですごく楽しんでくれました。ガイドさんに質問しても、息子など幅広い世代にわかりやすい説明してくれて、とても良い経験、勉強になりました。息子もまた行きたいと言っていたのでまた機会があれば石垣島に行こうかなと思います。

It was my first time doing SUP. At first, I was a bit wobbly and scared, but as I got used to it, it became really fun, and the scenery around me was so mystical and breathtaking, unlike anything I had ever seen before. The guide's explanations were interesting and easy to understand, so I listened with great interest.

I had only seen limestone caves on TV, so I was incredibly excited when I saw one for the first time. The plants were all things I had never seen before, making for a wonderful experience.

I was also thrilled to discover that there was an island like Balas in Japan! I was very excited and moved by it. If I have the chance, I would love to visit Iriomote Island again!

初めてのSUPでした。最初はグラグラして少し怖かったですが、だんだん慣れてくるとすごく楽しく、周りの風景も今まで見たことない感じですごく神秘的で感動しました。ガイドさんの説明も面白く、わかりやすい説明だったので興味津々で聞いてしまいました。
鍾乳洞もテレビでしか見てなかったので初めて見たときはものすごく興奮しました。植物も見たことないものばかりだったのでとてもいい体験ができました。
バラス島もこんな島が日本にあったんだ！っていう感じでとても興奮したし、感動もしました。また機会があれば西表島に行きたいです！！

I experienced SUP for the first time. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the guide taught me patiently, so I was able to enjoy it! I think anyone can have fun, even if it's their first time! I want to do SUP again. It was great that the guide also explained about the mangroves and Iriomote Island. The waterfall was amazing too! I was able to feel the great nature, away from my usual daily life. Balas Island is also very beautiful. I was impressed by the two islands made of coral. I enjoyed the entire experience while listening to the guide's explanations. I definitely want to use this service again when I come back.

初めてsupを体験しました。初めてだったので不安でしたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれたので、楽しむことができました！初めてでも誰でも楽しめると思います！またsupやりたいです。マングローブの説明など西表島のことも教えてくれて良かったです。滝もすごかったです！いつもの日常から離れた、大自然を感じることができました。バラス島もとても綺麗です。サンゴでできた世界に２つの島に感動しました。終始ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら、楽しむことができました。また来た時は是非利用したいです。

I thought there would be many inbound tourists in Hokkaido, but this time it was the worst. When I arrived at the tour reception desk, there was an unusual smell of garlic and a lot of noise. After finally checking in and boarding the bus, a Chinese mother with an infant was having a loud argument with the guide over seating. It seemed she didn't know that "infants should sit on laps" and was occupying an entire row of seats. When she was told about it, she got defensive.

The bus finally started moving, but the infant was right behind my seat, crying loudly throughout the tour. The mother didn't seem to be trying to soothe the child, and everyone on the bus appeared to be enduring the situation, but we were all at the mercy of this inconsiderate family. Fortunately, I had earplugs, but even so, the baby's cries echoed in my head, making it impossible to focus on the audio guide. Given the circumstances, all I could do was endure.

The natural tourist spots like Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya were surrounded by refreshing air and were wonderful, but as soon as we got off the bus, several chubby middle-aged Chinese men started smoking while walking and littering. It ruined the sightseeing experience. There were some people, like those from Singapore and Indonesia whom I got to know, who adhered to time and manners, but even knowing the cultural differences, it was still bothersome.

I've heard that the number of travelers from relatively nearby countries like China and South Korea has significantly increased recently. While inbound tourism is good, I hope that the minimum rules are followed at travel destinations. In that regard, I would like travel companies to think a little more about how everyone can enjoy their trips together.

北海道もインバウンドのお客さんが多いと思っていましたが、イヤハヤ今回は最悪でした。
ツアー受付窓口に着くと、周囲は異様なニンニク臭と喧騒です。
やっとチェックインを済ませバスに乗り込むと、乳児を連れた中華系の母親が席をめぐってガイドさんと大声でひと悶着やっています。
どうやら「乳児は膝の上」と言うことを知らずに席一列を占領しているようで、その事を注意され逆ギレしているようです。
どうにかバスは動き始めますが、その乳児は私の席のすぐ後ろで、ツアー中終止むづがり大声でギャーギャー泣く始末。
母親はあやす風でもなく、バス内は皆我慢しているようでしたが、この非常識な親子連れに振り回わされっぱなしです。
幸い私は耳栓を持っていましたが、それでも乳児の声は頭に響き、イヤホンガイドどころではありません。相手が相手だけにじっとガマンの一字です。
支笏湖や洞爺湖の自然豊かな観光地は爽やかな空気に包まれ、すばらしいものでしたが、ここでもバスを降りるや中華系の小太りの中年男性数人が「歩き煙草」で煙を撒き散らしはじめポイ捨て状態。せっかくの観光が台無しです。
中には知り合いになったシンガポールやインドネシア人のように時間やマナーをしっかり守る人達もいましたが、文化の違い？と判っていても迷惑な話です。
最近では比較的近い中国や韓国の旅行者が相当増えていると聞きます。
インバウンドも良いですが、旅行先では最低限のルールは守ってもらいたいものです。
その点では旅行会社もお互いが楽しく旅行が出来るように、もう少し知恵を絞って頂きたいと思います。

This was my third time in Okinawa, but I had never seen the beautiful ocean there, so I decided to join. Since I usually don't drive and wanted to enjoy some beer during lunch, I opted for a bus tour. There were few participants due to the season, and more than half were from overseas. The Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island were truly beautiful, and I'm glad I participated. I also thought the price was reasonable.

沖縄は3回目でしたが、沖縄の美しい海を見たことが無かったので参加しました。普段は自動車の運転をしていなしのと、ランチでビールを楽しみたかったこともあり、バスツアーにしました。時期的に参加人数は少なく、また半数以上は海外の方でした。美ら海水族館も古宇利島も本当に美しくて参加して良かったと思います。料金もリーズナブルだと思いました。

On the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I felt a sense of urban life, but after participating in a night tour, I was able to appreciate the richness of nature. I was particularly surprised when I saw a coconut crab. It was larger than my palm, and I was shocked to hear that its claw strength is comparable to a lion's bite. However, I found it interesting that it is surprisingly delicious.

石垣島に来た日は都会を感じるものがあったのですがナイトツアーに参加して、自然の豊かさを感じれました。
その中でもヤシガニを見た時はとても驚きました。手のひらよりも大きくて、ハサミの力がライオンの噛む力と同じくらいだと聞いてゾッとしました。でも意外と美味であることがなんだか面白かったです。

I came to Iriomote Island for a resort job, and while I've been to quite a few places on my own, there were still many things I hadn't done, so I joined this tour. I leisurely paddled through the mangrove forest on a stand-up paddleboard, and then we went trekking to a waterfall. It was smaller than I had imagined, but I was able to splash around in the water, which was fun. After that, we visited a limestone cave with no pavement or anything, experiencing nature in its raw form. After lunch, we took photos on a beautiful island made entirely of coral, and I brought back a small piece of coral as a souvenir for a chopstick rest. I had a truly valuable experience and I'm very satisfied. I would love to do it again when my friends come to visit.

西表島にリゾートバイトで来ていて
一人で行けるところにはある程度行ったのですが、まだまだやれてないことが沢山あったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
マングローブ林の中をゆったりとSUPに乗ってそのあとトレッキングをして、滝まで行きました。想像していたものよりを小さかったけど、滝で水浴びをしたり出来たので、おろしろかったです。そのあと舗装も何もない鍾乳洞に行ってありのままの自然を体感しました。昼食後はすごく綺麗なサンゴだけで出来た島で写真を撮って、記念に箸置き用の小さなサンゴを持って帰りました。
なかなか貴重な体験ができて大満足してます
友達が遊びき来たらもう一度体験したいと思います。
