When I consulted at the reception in the morning, I was informed that it was possible to leave the tour midway, so I went directly to the hotel on Kohama Island from Ohara Port without returning to Ishigaki Island. It's a great point that you can leave the tour midway. Also, during the sightseeing on Iriomote Island, they took care of my luggage on the boat, which made it easy to enjoy the tour.
The weather was cloudy, but I was thrilled to see the crested serpent eagle from the mangrove boat tour. The water buffalo and botanical garden on Yufu Island were also full of tropical vibes, making for a very enjoyable experience.
Thank you for your reference.
朝の受付時に相談したところ、途中離脱が可能とのことでしたので、最後に石垣島には戻らず、大原港から定期船で直接小浜島のホテルに向かいました。
ツアーですが途中離脱ができるのは良い点です。また、西表島観光中は荷物を船で預かっていただいたので楽に観光できました。
天気は曇りでしたが、マングローブの遊覧船からカンムリワシを見ることができ感動しました
由布島の水牛や植物園も南国感満載でとても楽しい体験でした。
以上、ご参考まで。

My first visit to Ishigaki Island was inspired by a TV show where I saw people riding water buffalo carts to Yubu Island, and I thought it looked interesting, so I immediately signed up for this tour.
The mangrove cruise on the Nakama River in Iriomote Island was guided by a woman who shared fascinating information about the types of mangroves and their species in a relaxed manner. The pleasant weather made the experience even better.
During the bus ride from Nakama River to the water buffalo cart, the driver's jokes kept us entertained, making the journey enjoyable.
On the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, we learned that unlike deer, water buffalo horns do not grow back once they are broken, while the woman guiding the buffalo sang with a sanshin. It was an unexpected and wonderful experience. The water buffalo I rode had a large rear and was strong, living up to my expectations and making it the best experience.
初めての石垣島、たまたまテレビで由布島へ水牛者に乗って渡るのを見て、面白そうだと思ってすぐにこのツアーに申し込みました。
西表島での仲間川のマングローブ遊覧はガイドが女性の方で、マングローブの種類や種のことなど、ゆっくり面白く話をしてくれました。天気に恵まれたこともあって気持ちよかったです。
仲間川から水牛車への移動のバスでは運転手の方のジョークが利いていて、飽きることなく楽しく移動できました。
由布島へ渡る水牛車では、水牛の角はシカと違って折れたら生えてこないことなどの話を聞きながら、水牛を操る女性の方が三線で歌ってくれました。予期してなかったこともあっていい体験ができました。乗った水牛はおしりが大きくて引っ張る力も力強く、期待を裏切らず最高でした。

The explanation at the initial meeting point was very polite and easy to understand. However, I rode the water buffalo cart three times, and each time I was in the back seat... There was no consideration for that at all. Well, it's fine since all I could see was the back of the water buffalo, but it was amusing. The advantage of being in the back seat is that I could take pictures of the water buffalo carts coming from behind!
最初の集合場所での説明。
非常に丁寧に分かりやすく説明してくれました。
一つだけ、水牛車3回乗ったんやけど
3回とも後方の座席…
そういう配慮は一切なかったね
まぁ、見えるのは水牛さんのお尻やからええねんけど笑
後方の座席ならではは、後ろから来る水牛車を撮影出来ることかなー笑

I thought a bus tour would be a great way to efficiently explore Tokyo with friends visiting from abroad, so I searched online and found this open-air tour that offers unlimited rides for a day. We started on the Blue Course at 10:05 AM, got off at Tsukiji, had an early lunch, and visited Tsukiji Honganji Temple. We returned to Marunouchi Mitsubishi Building at 1:20 PM after a restroom break. Next, we took the Red Course departing at 2:05 PM and got off at Asakusa Hanakawado. We visited Senso-ji Temple, enjoyed ningyo-yaki and matcha ice cream on Nakamise Street, and took photos with Tokyo Skytree and the Asahi Headquarters. We returned to Marunouchi again at 4:23 PM. While there wasn't enough time to see everything, we got to view various tourist spots from the bus, and my friends and other international travelers seemed to have a great time. Everyone cheered when we looked up at Tokyo Tower. I think it would be nice to visit the places we wanted to see later. After this, we participated in the open-air night bus tour as well. We were able to communicate with tourists from various countries, and it was the best day ever! I would love to join again!
海外から来た友達と効率よく東京観光をするにはバスツアーがいいなと思い、ネットで探していたら、オープンエアで1日乗り放題のこのツアーを見つけました。私達は10時5分からスタートのブルーコースに乗り、築地で降り、早めの昼食を摂り、築地本願寺を参拝、13時20分築地発で丸の内三菱ビルに戻ってきました。トイレ休憩し、次は14時5分発でレッドコースに乗り、浅草花川戸で降りました。浅草寺参拝、仲見世通りで人形焼や抹茶アイスを食べたり、東京スカイツリーやアサヒ本社屋と一緒に写真を撮りました。そして16時23分発でまた丸の内に戻りました。全て見学するには時間が足りませんが、バスの中からいろいろな観光地を見れて、友達や他の海外旅行者もとても楽しそうでした。特に東京タワーを下から眺めた時は皆さん歓声をあげていました。後日行きたくなった観光地を訪れてもいいと思います。この後私達は同じくオープンエアのナイトバスツアーに参加しました。いろいろな国の観光客とコミュニケーションもとれ、最高の1日でした!また参加したいです!

This was my first visit to Hokkaido with my child. I considered renting a car to explore, but with limited time, I thought a bus tour would be the most efficient way to visit the attractions, so I booked this plan.
Actually, I had been to Biei and Furano once during a company trip in my twenties, and I couldn't forget the beauty of Biei that I saw back then, which is why I decided to join this tour.
Since it was a group tour with set times, the duration at each location was shorter than I expected, but I still had a great time. I think it's really affordable to visit so many attractions and enjoy a delicious lunch for under 10,000 yen.
What impressed me the most this time were the bus guide and driver who took us to the locations. They were considerate because I had a small child with me, and they kindly provided detailed information about souvenir shops I inquired about, which was really helpful. Thank you very much.
If I have the opportunity to travel to Hokkaido again, I would definitely like to use this service.
今回初めて親子で訪れる北海道。レンタカーでの周遊も考えましたが、時間が限られる中、効率よく観光スポットを巡るにはバスツアーが最適と考え、こちらのプランを予約させていただきました。
実は美瑛と富良野、20代の頃一度社員旅行で来たことがあったのですが、あの時に見た美瑛の美しさが忘れられず、私の一存でこのツアーの参加となります。
決められた時間での団体旅行ということもあるので、一カ所の滞在時間は思った以上に短かったですが、それでも十分楽しめました。これだけ色々な観光地に連れてって下さり、おいしい昼食も食べることができて1万円以下というのは本当に安いと思います。
そして今回、何よりも印象に残ったのは、現地まで案内してくださったバスガイドさんと運転手さんです。小さい子供連れということでご配慮下さったり、ツアーとは別に、こちらから尋ねた土産店の事まで丁寧に教えていただいて本当に助かりました。本当にありがとうございました。
また北海道に旅行に来る機会があれば、ぜひ利用させていただきたいと思っています。」

I participated in this tour because I wanted to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day. At first, I considered renting a car and going on my own, but I decided to join this tour because it seemed like a hassle and would take too much time.
The boat ride through the magnificent mangroves made me feel very elegant. Until now, I thought mangroves were just a type of tree, but I learned here that they refer to a group of plants that grow in coastal areas where freshwater and seawater mix.
On the bus to Yufu Island, which I would have just passed by if I were on my own, there was an explanation about the island, and I was glad I chose the tour for this reason.
I was amazed by the strength of the water buffalo during my first experience riding in a water buffalo cart. While we enjoyed the leisurely pace of the water buffalo, I also thought it must be hard work for them, and felt a bit sorry for them.
Walking around Yufu Island, surrounded by nature different from the main island, while seeing trees and flowers I had never seen before was wonderful.
On Taketomi Island, we took a bus to the beach. I heard that star sand can be found there, but it seemed quite difficult to collect, so I gave up.
Taketomi Island had beautiful townscapes surrounded by red roofs and flowers, which were very lovely.
Overall, I thought it was a good tour that allowed us to efficiently visit many places in a short time, but I wondered if it would have been even better if we could have gone further north.
1日で西表島、由布島、竹富島に行きたくて、このツアーに参加しました。
初めはレンタカーを借りて自力で行くことも考えましたが、自力で行くには手間や時間が大変そうなので、こちらのツアーに参加することに決めました。
大自然のマングローブの中での遊覧船はとても優雅な気持ちになりました。今までマングローブとは木の名前だと思っていましたが、淡水と海水が入り交じる沿岸に生育する植物郡の総称だとここで初めて知りました。
個人で行くとただ通りすぎるだけの、由布島に向かうバスでも島の説明がありこの点もツアーにしてよかったと思いました。
初めての水牛車は水牛の力強さに驚かされました。水牛のマイペースさにいやされて、私たちは楽しかったのですが、水牛にとっては大変な重労働、気の毒かな?とも思いました。
由布島は本島と違った大自然の中、初めて見る木や花などを見ながらの散策が最高でした。
竹富島ではバスに乗りビーチに行きました。
星の砂が取れるらしいのですが。取るのはなかなかむずかしそうなのであきらめました。
竹富島は赤い屋根と花に囲まれた美しい町並みがとても素敵でした。
総合的に短い時間で効率的に回れるよいツアーだと思いましたが、北の方にも行けたらさらによかったかな?と思いました。

First of all, I was extremely satisfied with the water buffalo cart and the interaction with the water buffalo! The water buffalo are sensitive to heat, but I was moved by their effort to cross the sea, and I was surprised at how intelligent they are! The guides hardly needed to direct them; they managed to start and stop on their own! It's hard to convey this in words, so you should definitely go and experience it for yourself!
The lunch was just the right amount, and I was able to enjoy the botanical garden and souvenir shops without any rush. It seems that it's good to wear clothes that can get wet during the summer, but since I went in October, wearing short sleeves and shorts was perfectly fine! Please make sure to visit!
まず、手っ取り早く大満足だったのが水牛車、そして水牛さんとの触れ合いでした!
暑さには弱い水牛さん達ですが、頑張って海を渡る姿には感動しましたし、何より水牛さん達が非常に賢くて驚きました!先導員さん達もほとんど誘導する事なく、自力で発車から停車まで頑張ってくれますよ!文字じゃ伝わりづらいので実際に行ってみてください!
お昼ご飯もちょうどいい量でしたし、無理なく植物園やお土産屋さんを見ることができました
夏場は濡れてもいい格好が良いらしいですが、10月にいった身としては半袖半ズボン私服で全然okでした!ぜひ行ってみてください

Since I had extra time than planned, I made a reservation the day before and participated alone. I recommend this for those without transportation who want to visit the main tourist attractions on the island.
Regarding the Churaumi Aquarium, I felt the time allocation was satisfactory, but for those who want to have a proper lunch or take their time exploring the exhibits, it might not be enough. You can see the dolphin show!
In my personal opinion, instead of ending at American Village, it might be nice to change the location to a place where you can enjoy the sunset and take beautiful photos.
予定より滞在時間が余ったため、前日に予約して1人で参加しました。足が無い人で、本島の観光名所をとりあえず回りたい人にはおすすめです。
美ら海水族館については、私は満足な時間配分だと思いましたが、昼食をしっかり取ったり、館内をじっくり見たい人には足りないかもしれません。イルカのショーは見れます!
個人的な意見ですが、最後はアメリカンビレッジではなく、夕日が落ちるまでじっくり見れる場所に変更しても綺麗な写真が取れて良いのではないかと思いました。

Second visit to Ishigaki Island.
Last year, I only went to Taketomi Island, so this year I participated in a tour of Iriomote Island and Yufu Island.
When I actually went, I found that the water buffalo cart station and the mangrove cruising boarding area were far from the port. If I had gone on my own, I would have needed a rental car or taxi, so the hotel shuttle and bus tour to the site were smooth, and it was great not having to buy tickets myself! The stories from the bus driver and the cruising staff were entertaining! On Yufu Island, perhaps due to the season, there were fewer flowers and the lunch bento was not great, but above all, crossing with the sound of the sanshin and feeling the wind on the water buffalo cart was the best!
I also got to interact with the water buffalo, Ruikun, and he was super cute!

It felt a bit challenging with all the movement, but I was glad to visit places I wouldn't normally go. I was taken to some great locations.
However, I was disappointed that the internal guide only spoke Korean, with Japanese only providing the meeting time and minimal information. It would have been nice to hear more enjoyable details about the scenery and local information from the bus guide. I think the Korean guide was probably saying other things too. For Japanese people, the tour felt somewhat lacking.

On October 12, my spouse and I participated in the tour. The mangrove cruise had staff who provided detailed and easy-to-understand explanations, allowing us to truly appreciate the nature of Iriomote Island.
The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was just as satisfying as I had seen in magazines. I could hear the sound of the seawater as the buffalo stepped through the shallow waters, accompanied by the sanshin and Okinawan folk songs, while enjoying the color of the clear sky and the leisurely flow of time. On Yubu Island, there were subtropical plants, butterflies, gelato, and more; 90 minutes, including meals, felt insufficient.
After the island tour, we returned to Ishigaki Island Terminal at 3 PM. Since we had a shuttle service to our hotel, we were able to relax until dinner, which was great.
Lastly, I was very impressed by the well-maintained restrooms at the places we visited in Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

This time, I participated in this activity with a companion. First, we took a ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island. I was worried that the ferry would be quite rocky before boarding, but it only swayed a little at times, which actually heightened my sense of adventure and made for an enjoyable ride.
Upon arriving at Iriomote Island, we took a cruise ship for a mangrove tour. The main purpose of my trip was to see the mangroves, and it felt like I had come to a foreign land, making me question if I was really in Japan. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. I saw many types of mangroves that I had never seen before, along with numerous large herons and a swarm of soldier crabs. The cruise captain provided detailed explanations, which were very interesting.
Next, we participated in an event where we crossed to Yufu by water buffalo. The water buffalo pulling the cart, which along with the passengers weighed a total of 2 tons, was an impressive sight. Towards the end, the person leading the water buffalo sang traditional Okinawan music on the sanshin. The lunch provided along the way was made with plenty of Okinawan ingredients.
After that, we went to a beach on Taketomi Island where you can find star sand. The beach had high transparency, and I was able to see and hold the star sand. There were also cute little hermit crabs everywhere on the beach. Later, we participated in an event where we toured the historic town of Taketomi Island by water buffalo. The young lady guiding the water buffalo introduced various aspects of the traditional town, and she sang traditional Okinawan music on the sanshin, which was truly soothing.
This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I’m really glad I participated in these activities. I highly recommend this tour!
この度は当方と同行者の二人でこちらのアクティビティに参加させて頂きました。
まずは、フェリーにて石垣島から西表島まで行きました。フェリーも乗船前は結構揺れるのかと心配しましたがたまに少し揺れる程度でむしろ冒険心を掻き立てられて楽しい乗船でした。
西表島に到着をしたらクルーズ船にてマングローブ遊船を行いました。今回の当方の旅行のメインはマングローブを見にいくことでしたが想像以上に異国の地に来たような感覚で本当にここは日本なのか?と感じる程の絶景で美しいものでした。見たことのないような多数の種類のマングローブに、大きなサギが多数おり、軍隊ガニの群れなどを見ることができました。クルーズの運転手さんも細かな説明をして頂き大変興味深いものでした。
次は、由布まで水牛で渡るというイベントでした。牛車と客の合計が2トンということでそれを引っ張り海を渡る水牛の姿は圧巻でした。最後の方は水牛を先導する方が三線で沖縄の伝統的な音楽を歌ってくれました。途中提供された昼食は沖縄の食材をふんだんに使ったものとなっておりました。
次は竹富島にて星の砂が取れるビーチまで行きました。ビーチは透明度が高く本当に星の砂があり手にとって見ることができました。ビーチの至るところに可愛い小さなヤドカリも見ることができました。その後は、歴史的な竹富島の町を水牛で周るイベントに参加しました。伝統的な町並みを水牛を引くお姉さんが色々と紹介をしてくれ途中からは三線で沖縄の伝統的な音楽を歌ってくれて本当に癒されるものでした。
今回初めての石垣島旅行でしたがここのアクティビティに参加して本当によかったと思いました。是非おすすめのできるツアーです!

I went on a 2-night, 3-day tour with a college friend and their daughter and son-in-law. We stayed at our usual spot, the Fusaki Resort Hotel, which I've been to for the tenth time now. Every time I come here, the atmosphere inside the hotel makes me feel like I'm in a tropical paradise. The next day, we took a ferry from Euglena to Ohara on Iriomote Island, then rode a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island, where we strolled through the botanical garden, the talking garden, and the bougainvillea garden. After that, we enjoyed a mangrove tour on a cruise ship on the Nakamagawa River, and I was impressed by the guide's detailed explanation of the mangrove ecosystem. In February of this year, I had a canoe experience on Nakamagawa, but the cruise ship was definitely better since it could go further upstream. On the way back, we went directly to Ohara Port, toured Taketomi Island, and then returned to Ishigaki Port. It was a fulfilling tour. Next time, I plan to come back next year for diving and fishing.
大学時代の友人と友人の長女夫妻と2泊3日のツアーでした。宿泊は常宿のフサキリゾートホテルで、このホテルも10回目になりますが、いつ来ても館内の雰囲気は南国気分になりますね。翌日は、ユーグレナから西表島大原に渡り由布島水牛車に揺られて由布島に渡り植物園、喋園、ブーゲンビリア園を散策してから仲間川で、クルーズ船でマングローブ観光したが、ガイドさんの説明がマングローブの生態系について非常に詳細で感心した。今年の2月は仲間川でカヌー体験しましたが、やはりクルーズ船の方が上流まで行けて良かったですね帰りは直接大原港に着いて竹富島観光してから石垣港に戻りましたが、充実したツアーでした。次回は来年にダイビングと釣りで来ます。

We departed from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island on the 8:10 Dream Tourism boat.
After arriving at Iriomote Island, we took a bus to the entrance of Yubu Island. The bus ride was engaging, so we didn't get bored.
From 9:30, we took a water buffalo cart for about 15 minutes, leisurely making our way to Yubu Island. The water buffalo was strong and had a gentle demeanor. Listening to the relaxed talk from either an older man or a young man while being carried along was truly a precious experience. On the water buffalo cart I rode, they played the sanshin and sang both ways, which added to the atmosphere. I think whether or not you get sanshin performances on other carts might depend on luck.
After arriving at Yubu Island, we had about 100 minutes for free exploration, including lunch. If you have no issues with your legs, you can see and enjoy plenty in this time.
You can also take commemorative photos with the water buffalo. Each group gets two photos taken, with one card-sized photo for free, while larger sizes cost 1,500 yen for one and 2,500 yen for two. If you purchase, you can also download the data, which feels quite savvy. I ended up buying both photos. (laughs) They are wonderful memories.
After 12:00, we went on the Nakama River Mangrove Cruise. We enjoyed the cruise for just under an hour while listening to explanations about the mangrove trees and the birds that appeared.
If you have members who can do canoeing or SUP, those tours provide a more intense experience of the mangroves. However, for older individuals or those with children, I felt that this cruise was the best option after experiencing both.
Around 14:20, we returned to Ishigaki Island, allowing for further plans afterward. I thought it was a compact yet thoroughly enjoyable tour.
8:10のドリーム観光さんの船で石垣島から西表島に向かって出発しました。
西表島についてからバスで由布島入り口までいきます。
バス車内でもお話が聞けるので退屈しません。
9:30から15分ほどかけて水牛車にのって、
ゆったりと由布島まで行きました。
力持ちで穏やかそうな性格の水牛さん。
おじぃもしくはお兄さんのゆるーいトークを聞きながら、のっしのっしと運んでくれる様は
本当に貴重な体験でした。
私が乗った水牛車では、往復どちらも三線を弾きながら歌ってくださり、雰囲気に浸れて良かったです。三線演奏がなさそうな他の水牛車もあったのでこれは運次第かな、と思います。
由布島到着後は約100分ほど、昼食含めて自由散策です。足腰に不安がなければ、十分この時間で見て楽しめます。
水牛さんとの記念撮影もできます。
1グループにつき2枚撮影してくださり、
カードサイズは1枚無料でいただけて、
大きいサイズは1枚1500円、2枚なら2500円で購入方式。購入するとデータでもDLできるという…商売上手な感じです。
2枚とも買わせていただきました。笑
とても良い思い出の写真です。
12時過ぎに仲間川マングローブクルーズへ。
1時間弱かけて、マングローブの木々や、現れた鳥たちの解説を聞きながらクルーズを楽しみました。
もしカヌーやSUPなどができるメンバーなら、
そっちのツアーのほうがマングローブはより迫力を体感できますが、高齢の方やお子さんがいる場合は、こちらのクルーズがベストだと、両方体験して感じました。
14:20頃には石垣島に帰ってこられて、その後もなにか他の計画を立てられるので、
コンパクトにまとまりつつ、十分楽しめる良いツアーだな、と思いました。

The guide didn't provide much explanation while speaking, which was disappointing. They also weren't very proficient in Japanese. I wish this had been clearly stated at the beginning.
ガイド、言いながらあまり説明がなく、残念でした。日本語もあまり堪能なガイドさんではなかったので。。そういう明記を最初か、して欲しいです。

The guide was a young woman who was very kind and pleasant. Since there were foreign participants, she explained everything in English that she had worked hard to learn. It was forecasted to rain, so they had plenty of umbrellas available for loan, and the shuttle bus to the viewpoint in Shirakawa-go, along with information about hidden photo spots and recommended souvenirs, was very helpful. I was unsure whether to just take the bus back and forth or join the tour, but I'm glad I chose the tour. We were able to have lunch right away, and the meeting point for the bus was very easy to find and convenient. There were many women participating alone, including myself, and I could see why it was popular, as there were stylish restaurants, cafes, and shops amidst the traditional Japanese scenery. The group bus meeting point was where we gathered in the morning, but I was confused and wandered around the rotary for the local and sightseeing buses for a while. I figured out the mistake after asking at the information center and ran to catch up, but I think it would be clearer if they provided additional explanations, such as not just "Kanazawa Station West Exit," but also in front of the Hilton Hotel or at the back of the rotary on the right side after exiting the station.
若い女性のガイドさんでしたが、とても親切で、感じの良い方でした。外国人も参加されていたため、一生懸命覚えた英語で説明していました。雨が降る予報でしたので、たくさん貸し出し傘を用意してたり、白川郷の展望台へのシャトルバス、穴場のフォトスポットやおすすめのお土産など、情報もありがたかったです。普通にバスで往復するのと、どちらにしようか迷いましたが、ツアーにして良かったです。お昼ごはんもすぐ食べられたし、バスの待ち合わせ場所もとてもわかりやすく便利な場所でした。女性の一人参加が多く、私もそうでしたが、日本の原風景の中に、ちょっとおしゃれなレストラン、カフェや雑貨屋さんがあって、人気があるのも頷けました。団体バス乗り場が朝の集合場所だったのですが、分からなくて、しばらく路線バスと定期観光バスのロータリーをウロウロしてました。案内所で聞いて間違いがわかって走りましたが、「金沢駅西口」だけでなく、ヒルトンホテル前、または駅を出て右側のロータリー奥、など説明を付けてもらえたらわかりやすいと思います。
Dear Mikko-chan,
Thank you for participating in our tour the other day.
Since our vehicles are "authorized vehicles," we have the advantage of being able to enter the village, unlike regular cars and tourist buses. This allows us to park in the center of the village, making it convenient and efficient for your exploration time.
Thank you for your high overall rating. How about visiting during a different season next time?

先日は弊社ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
白川郷は弊社の車両は「許可車」なので一般の方々の車や観光バスとはちがって集落の中まで入れるメリットがあります。その点、集落の中心部で駐車できるメリットがあって散策される時間も無駄がなく便利だと思いますね。
高い総合評価をいただきありがとうございます。今度はちがった季節に訪れてみてはいかがでしょうか?

It's a two-hour course. There aren't many bus tours that can take you to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go in a day, so it was fantastic. It might be a bit busy for two hours, but when you think about driving round trip from Nagoya for six hours in a rental car, I believe the bus tour is more comfortable. While renting a car does offer flexibility with time, I think driving after walking a lot during sightseeing can be quite tiring. Plus, you won't be able to enjoy the local sake, right? Anyway, it turned out to be an amazing trip. Thank you very much!
2時間ずつのコースです。
飛騨高山と白川郷を日帰りで行けるバスツアーは
なかなかないので、最高でした。
2時間少し忙しいかもしれないけれど、自分で
名古屋から往復6時間レンタカーで運転するって
考えるとバスツアーのほうが快適だと思います。
レンタカーはレンタカーで時間に融通が利くのでそこはメリットだとは思いますが、観光でたくさん歩いたあとに運転するのはだいぶ疲れるかなと思います。あとご当地の地酒を飲めなくなりますしね笑笑。とにかく最高の旅になりました。ありがとうございました

This was my third time in Ishigaki Island, but since I had only used the ferry terminal and hadn't visited any tourist spots, I decided to take the regular sightseeing bus for an efficient tour.
The driver and the guide were fantastic! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I learned a lot of interesting stories that I would have missed if I were sightseeing on my own, like the story of Minsaa weaving and the sanshin and songs.
Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, but Kabira Bay was beautiful, and the view from Tamatorizaki Observatory, which is quite far and difficult to access, was also stunning. I wasn't very interested in the Yaeyama Palm Forest, but once I saw it, I thought it was really great.
Unfortunately, I had to get off at the airport at the end, so I hope to stay on until the end next time. By the way, lunch was just average.
石垣島は3度目だったけど、離島ターミナルを利用するばかりで観光名所は回ってなかったので効率よく回れる定期観光バスを利用しました
運転手さんとガイドさんがめっちゃ良かったです!ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすくて、個人で観光しても知らないまま終わってしまいそうなお話を沢山聞けました ミンサー織りのお話とか三線と歌も良かったです
生憎の曇り空でしたが、川平湾綺麗だったし遠くてなかなか行きづらい玉取崎展望台からの景色も綺麗でした ヤエヤマヤシ原生林もあまり興味なかったのに、見たらめっちゃ良かったです
最後残念ながら空港で降りてしまったので、次回は最後まで乗りたいなぁと思います。ちなみにランチは普通でした

This was a half-day tour that included a cruise through the mangrove forests of Iriomote Island and a transfer to Yubu Island via a water buffalo cart. There was plenty of time, and it was an enjoyable tour. During the cruise, the captain provided clear explanations, and I had a great time seeing the mangrove forests for the first time. On the bus ride to the water buffalo cart station, the driver shared interesting stories about Iriomote Island, making for a fun and laughter-filled experience. The water buffalo on Yubu Island were full of personality and adorable, and I felt completely relaxed. It was a great tour that allowed me to fully enjoy Iriomote Island and Yubu Island. I'm glad I participated.
西表島のマングローブ林をクルーズし、水牛車で由布島に移動する半日ツアーですが、時間も余裕があり、楽しいツアーでした。
クルーズでは船長さんが分かりやすく説明をしてくれ、初めて見るマングローブ林で楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。水牛車乗り場へのバス移動時は運転手さんが面白いトークで西表島を紹介してくれ、笑いがたえない時間でした。由布島の水牛たちは個性豊かで可愛く、すっかり癒されました。西表島&由布島を満喫できるいいツアーでした。参加してよかったです。

The weather was bad, and it wasn't open, but they opened up for a moment when the rain stopped, and I was glad to experience it. The guide's explanations were clear and enjoyable, and they frequently informed us about important points. Even though we weren't on for two hours, it made me feel like I had seen all of Osaka. I highly recommend it!
天気が悪く オープンでは無かったですが
少し雨が止んだ一瞬にオープンにしてくれて 体験できて良かった~
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく 楽しく
こまめに要所要所を知らせてくれます
二時間も乗っていませんが 大阪市内を全て観光した気分にさせてくれます
おすすめです
