All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The time spent listening to the explanations on the bus was really enjoyable! However, perhaps due to the weather, Churaumi Aquarium was not as great as I expected. Other places were not very memorable or enjoyable either. But if I come to Okinawa again, I would like to use a bus tour.

バスの中で説明を聞いたお時間はすごく楽しかったです！しかし、天気のせいなのか、美ら海水族は思ったよりまあまあでした。ほかの所も記憶に無いぐらいあまり楽しくなかったです。。;; でもまた沖縄へ来たらバスツアーを利用したいです。

I participated because I wanted to go to Daishi Forest Mountain.

I am very satisfied with this price, which includes the bus fare, entrance fees to various facilities, and a luxurious lunch.

I toured with several tourists from Korea, China, and Hong Kong, in addition to Japanese people. Everyone was well-behaved, and there was no loud noise or selfish behavior, allowing us to enjoy the sightseeing experience.

大石林山に行きたくて参加しました

バス代、各施設の入場料、豪華ランチ込みでこのお値段は大満足です

日本人以外に韓国、中国、香港からきた観光客数名と一緒に観光しました
みなさんお行儀がよく、大声で騒いだり自分勝手な行動をすることもなく、楽しく観光できました

The tour was really enjoyable and educative. The sceneries were amazing. The tour guide was very kind and accommodating to assist us and extend extra services to his customers.
It was only frustrating that we did not reach the 5th station since the access was closed due to the climate condition. However, the overall experience was great

A shuttle bus came to the hotel to pick us up, and we gathered at the port to receive explanations for each course. When we mentioned the course number during boarding and disembarking, the staff members present promptly guided us, saying things like "that way" and "this way," allowing us to feel secure on the tour even in an unfamiliar place.

I had the impression that rural cities were mostly populated by elderly people, but everywhere we went, young people provided guidance and explanations. We enjoyed the wonderful nature and felt the vibrant spirit of Ishigaki.

ホテルに送迎のバスが来て下さり、港に集まり、コース毎の説明を受けました。乗船や下船後の移動時にコース番号を言うと、そこここに居る係員の方は皆、それはあっち、これはこっちとテキパキと案内してくれ、見知らぬ土地でも安心してツアーに乗れました。
地方都市というと高齢者ばかりとのイメージがありましたが、どこでも若い人が案内、説明をして下さり、素晴らしい自然を堪能するとともに、元気な石垣を感じました。

On the last day, since my flight was at 8 PM, I made a light reservation here after checking out. I went cycling with the cattle, but one hour of cycling was enough, so I think I might not need it next time. I also rode a water buffalo on Yubu Island, but Taketomi had a different atmosphere, and I was glad to experience both. It was a beautiful island just like in the pictures, and time flew by. I want to come back again.

最終日、飛行機の便が夜8時だったので、チェックアウト後に軽くこちらに申込みました。牛とサイクリングでしたが、サイクリングは1時間で十分だったので次はいらないかなーと思いました。水牛は由布島でも乗りましたが、竹富はまた雰囲気が違ってどちらも乗って良かったです。写真どおり綺麗な島で、あっという間に時間がすぎました。また来たいです。

Fun tour! The no lunch options are slim but still delicious. Mario was very helpful and nice. Definitely worth going to see Mt Fuji.

I have no complaints about the places we visited, but I was left dissatisfied with the tour guide and the driver. The tour guide seemed quite bureaucratic, only checking the time. I understand that most of the participants were Chinese and Korean, so providing information only in Japanese may not have been very meaningful for them. However, since the tour guide was fluent in English, it would have made a difference if there had been some information provided in both Japanese and English instead of just sitting quietly during the journey. There was a guide device available, but I would like the tour company to reconsider the purpose of having a tour guide. Additionally, the driver was unfriendly throughout the trip.

The tour description mentioned we would pass by the Warumi Bridge (view from the bus), but I don't think we did. We might have passed it, but since there was no explanation from the tour guide, I couldn't tell where the Warumi Bridge was. I was really looking forward to it, so it's very disappointing. I believe it's a significant issue that we either did not pass by the places included in the tour or that the location of the Warumi Bridge was not announced at all.

訪れた場所に関しては不満はありませんが、添乗員とドライバーに不満が残った。
添乗員は時間の確認のみでかなり事務的な印象を受けました。利用者が中国、韓国人が大半であるので日本語だけの案内は彼らにはあまり意味がないことは理解してますが、英語の堪能な添乗員だっただけに道中ただ座っているだけではなく少しの情報でも日本語と英語で案内があれば印象は違っていたかもしれません。案内の機械はあるのですが、添乗員がいる意義を今一度考えほしいです。また、終始ドライバーが無愛想でした。
ツアー内容にわるみ大橋 (車窓)と記載されていたのですが、通っていなかったと思います。通ったかもしれませんが、添乗員からの説明が一切なかったので、どこがわるみ大橋か分からなかったのかもしれません。
楽しみにしていたのに非常に残念です。ツアー内容に入っているところを通っていないまたは、一切わるみ大橋の場所を告知しなかったのは非常に問題あると思います。

Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, and Yufu Island all had great weather and it was the best! They mentioned that it's quite rare to have such sunny weather throughout the year on Yufu Island. The staff on the boat were very kind and helped with the wheelchair boarding, which was really appreciated.

On Yufu Island, although I rode the water buffalo, I realized I had left my child's baby food on the bus (^ - ^;). The young lady at the dining hall kindly listened to my situation and contacted the person in charge of the water buffalo without any unpleasant expressions, which was truly helpful. Thank you very much.

The tour guides were all very polite, and the islands were so wonderful that I felt like I wanted to stay there forever. I hope to take this tour again someday and explore the islands at a more leisurely pace.

西表島も、竹富島も、由布島も、天気が良くて最高でした！由布島では、年間通してこんなに晴れているのはかなり珍しい！と言ってました。船への車椅子の乗車も、乗務員さんが丁寧に手伝いしてくれて、ほんとに、助かりました。
由布島では、水牛に乗り渡ったものの、バスに子供の離乳食を置いてきてしまったことが判明(^-^;食堂のお姉さんから、水牛の担当の方への連絡等、一切嫌な顔なさらずに事情を聞いてくれ、対応してくれて本当に助かりました。ありがとうございました。
観光の案内は皆さんとても丁寧で、このまま島に居残りたいくらい、素敵な島々でした。
またいつか、このツアーで、今度はもう少しゆっくりじっくり島々を巡りたいです。

We were not able to see the whole of Tokyo. Since they hardly speak english, we missed our bus. And the next bus we had to take was on its way back to our pick up point. If we take another color coded bus, it would be too late for us to go back to Shinjuku where we are staying.

The hotel was supposed to provide a shuttle bus, but when the designated time came on the day of, it did not arrive. After calling, I was instructed to take a taxi to the port and that they would cover the cost. If I hadn't contacted them, I probably would have been forgotten, and my chance to enjoy the sightseeing in Taketomi Island would have been wasted.

The sightseeing tour in Taketomi Island was well-coordinated and very fulfilling; I had a great time. However, it seems that the management is lacking, so I recommend that when using this service, you should not take their word for it and instead call the company the day before to confirm.

ホテルに送迎バスが来ることになっていたのですが、当日指定された時間になっても到着しないため、電話連絡したところ、お金を払うからタクシーで港まで向かうように指示されました。もし連絡しなければ、たぶん忘れられてしまい、せっかくの竹富島観光はパーになってしまったと思います。
竹富島観光のツアーはそれぞれ連携がとれていてとても充実して楽しかったです。管理がずさんだと思われますので、ここを利用する際は来るものと鵜呑みにせず、あらかじめ前日に会社に電話連絡しておくとよいと思います。

Everything was great. The tour guide was pretty good. Bus and the drivers were pretty good. Overall everything was good. Nothing to complain.
Depending on where you are picked up, the pick up can take some time before the tour starts. In my case, it was more than an hour. Just be prepared for this.

On the day of our visit, I was worried because rain was in the forecast, but the prediction turned out to be wrong, and we had beautiful clear skies! We rode on a water buffalo cart in such lovely weather. The water buffalo that was in charge of us was very laid-back and took many breaks, but because of that, we were able to enjoy the surrounding scenery at a leisurely pace. (laughs) I was surprised to find that the water buffalo cart could hold more people than I had imagined! The water buffalo worked really hard. Along the way, a staff member played the sanshin and sang Okinawan folk songs, which was wonderful to listen to while enjoying the scenery of Taketomi Island. We were able to spend a very relaxing and soothing time!

当日、雨予報だったので心配していたのですが、予報は外れ見事な快晴!!
とっても良いお天気の中、水牛車に乗りました。わたしたちを担当してくれた水牛さんは、凄くマイペースで休憩タイムが多かったですが、その分ゆっくり周りの景色を楽しむことができました。笑
水牛車の定員が想像してたより多くてびっくり！
水牛さん、大変頑張ってました。
途中でスタッフの方が、三線を弾きながら沖縄民謡を歌ってくださったのですが、竹富島の風景を堪能しながら聴く民謡にすごく良かったです。
まーったりゆーったりとても癒しのひときを過ごすことができました！

I participated in the tour because I wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sightseeing, and it included a stop at the airport after the tour to return to Tokyo that evening. However, the female guide was so entertaining, and when she started playing the sanshin and singing Yaeyama folk songs, someone from the same tour began to whistle, turning the bus into a mini concert hall. The scenery visible from the bus windows perfectly matched the moment, making it a memorable first visit to Ishigaki Island. At the airport, I had coffee at the southernmost Starbucks in Japan before heading home. I would love to join again.

By the way, I found it impressive that the number of guides on Ishigaki Island is fewer than the number of Iriomote cats on Iriomote Island. Keep up the great work, guides!

綺麗な景色と観光を楽しみたいのと、当日の夕方、東京に帰る為ツアー終了後に空港に寄るツアーと言う事で参加しました。しかし、ツア－の女性のガイドさんの話しが楽しく、ガイドさんの三線（サンシン）と八重山民謡（島唄）が始まると、同じツア－の方が指笛を吹いて、バスの中はちょっとしたコンサート会場のようで、その時の車窓から見えた景色ととても良く合い、心残る初めての石垣島となりました。空港では、国内最南端にあるスタバックスでコーヒーを飲んで帰りました。また参加したいです。
そう言えば、石垣島のガイドさんの数は、西表島のイリオモテヤマネコの数より少ないと言っていたのも印象的でした。ガイドさん頑張って～

I went on a Beltora sightseeing tour for the first time this time. The bus was almost full, but more than half of the passengers were foreigners. What I enjoyed about this tour were the Churaumi Aquarium and Mihama American Village. The aquarium had many people in the areas with good views and dining options. It might be better to stagger the timing. Mihama American Village has many shops around, and while exploring various stores, time flies by quickly. It's a great tour that offers plenty of enjoyment for the price. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try a different tour as well.

今回初めてベルトラの観光ツアーに行ってきました。
バスはほぼ満員でしたが半分以上が外国人の方でした。
今回のツアーで良かったのは美ら海水族館と美浜アメリカンビレッジでした。
水族館は眺めの良い場所や食事処は人がいっぱいでした。時間をずらせたら良いかも。
美浜アメリカンビレッジは周りにもお店ができていて、あれこれと探しながらの色々なお店を見ることができてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいます。
値段の割には十分楽しめて良いツアーです。
機会があれば違う内容のツアーも行ってみたいです。

I thought the early bus pickup might be a bit tough, but I ended up enjoying myself a lot. The procedures at the terminal were quick, and we boarded a ship that was more impressive and comfortable than I expected. The arrangements for the transfer were efficient, with hardly any time wasted. It was a shame we couldn't go further into Iriomote Island due to low tide, but I had fun discovering rare birds. The lunch on Yubu Island, though small, was filled with homemade local dishes that made me feel the essence of Okinawa. Taketomi Island truly looked like something out of a poster, and time seemed to flow slowly there. The return trip was also by bus, and the transfer procedures were quick, which was great. Overall, I really felt I got my money's worth with this experience. I highly recommend it. Dorikan-kun was super cute.

バスの迎えが早くて少し辛いかなと思いましたが、そんな心配もよそにとても満喫できました。ターミナルでの手続きも早く終わり船に乗り込みましたが思っていたより立派な船で快適でした。移動の段取りは手早くて時間ロスはほとんどありませんでした。西表島では干潮で奥まで行けなかったのは残念でしたが珍しい鳥を発見したりして楽しかったです。由布島でのお弁当は、小さいながらも中には手作りの郷土料理がいっぱい入っていて沖縄を感じられました。竹富島はほんとにポスターで見るようで、時間がゆっくり流れていました。帰りもバスでしたが乗り継ぎの手続きも早くてとても良かった。全体的にこのお値段で本当に満喫できたと思います。おすすめです。ドリカン君がとってもキュート。

The tour itself was enjoyable without any issues. However, I think there is a problem with the bus transfers. Since there are no assigned seats, those who return to the bus early get to choose their seats, and those who arrive late end up separated from their families on different buses. It seemed difficult for those with small children. There are two bus transfers.

ツアー自体は問題無く楽しめました。
しかし途中のバス移動に問題があると思います。
座席が指定されていないので早くバスに戻った人から座るようで、遅れて来た方は、家族で離れて別のバスになっていました。小さいお子様連れの方は、大変そうでした。バス移動は2回あります。

While in Japan I saw some of the most breathtaking places I have ever visited, including Mt. Fuji. We were going to attempt a trip on our own, but were so very glad we signed up for this tour!

The weather in Okinawa is unpredictable. I think it would be great if it didn't rain. This time, I wanted to connect with nature, but unfortunately, the rain diminished that experience. The bus had a tour guide with audio guidance through receivers, which might be a bit bland for older folks. However, it's perfect for quietly enjoying the sights.

沖縄の天気は気まぐれ。
雨が降らなければ最高だと思う。
今回、自然に触れようとしたがあいにくの雨で半減。
バスも添乗員さんが居てレシーバーで音声ガイダンス、年配の方には味気ないかな？静かに観光するにはもってこいだけど。

This was my first stay in Ishigaki Island. Although it was just a little over half a day of sightseeing, I was blessed with good weather and had a fulfilling time.

Before participating, I had planned not to include the glass-bottom boat. However, when we arrived at Kabira Bay, we encountered a sudden rain shower and decided to join in. Even with the rain, the water's clarity in the bay remained exceptionally high, allowing us to enjoy the corals and fish, which was a lot of fun. In the end, it was definitely the right decision to participate. When we disembarked, the blue sky spread out before us, and we enjoyed the wonderful scenery. At other stops, I was captivated by the beauty of Ishigaki Island.

Lunch was much more luxurious than I had expected, and I enjoyed delicious Okinawan cuisine! During the bus ride, we had interesting and informative stories, along with lively performances of sanshin and singing.

Next time I stay in Ishigaki Island, I would like to visit the places I went to this time again.

初めての石垣島滞在。半日ちょっとの観光でしたが、お天気にも恵まれ充実した時間を過ごせました。
参加前はグラスボートをつけない予定でした。なぜか川平湾についたときのみ通り雨にあい、急遽参加しました。雨でも湾内の透明度は変わらず非常に高く、サンゴや魚を鑑賞でき楽しかったです。結果、参加して正解。下船したときには、青空が広がり素晴らしい景色も堪能。その他の下車地でも石垣島の美しさにうっとりしました。
お昼は予想より非常に豪華で、沖縄のご飯を美味しくいただきました！バス移動中は面白く為になる話と三線&歌で盛り上がりました。
次回石垣島に滞在するときは、今回訪れた場所にまた行ってみたいです

I used this service on the second day of my stay. Since the pickup location was the hotel I was staying at, I had no trouble finding the meeting point, and it allowed us to efficiently visit the tourist spots, making it highly recommended for first-timers. Most of the participants were foreigners, but there is an earphone guide available, the bus is clean, and the guide was experienced and efficient, which made me feel at ease.

滞在2日目に利用しました。ピックアップ先が宿泊していたホテルでしたので集合場所に迷う事なく、観光スポットを効率よく回れるので初めての方にお勧めです。外国の方がほとんどでしたが、イヤホンガイドもありますし、バスは綺麗ですし、ガイドさんはテキパキ慣れた方で安心です。

I booked a 12 hour private tour for a group of 8 with transportation - October,2017.
Our quide (Taiji) met us at the Yokohama port (we arrived via cruise ship) at the designated time. We visited Rikugien Japanese Gardens, Imperial Palace-East Garden, National Museum of Tokyo, Senso-ji temple & Nakamise St.
We had an amazing lunch and traditional Japanese dinner. The only thing would have been to have some time for shopping. We also went to Shibuya Crossing before returning to Yokohoma. The weather was rainy so that contributed to a long day!

Guide needs a microphone in van so all can hear him.

Our group was VERY pleased with the service and sites!

Do Not hesitate to use Veltra!

You can efficiently visit Kouri Island, Churaumi Aquarium, Okashi Goten, Manza Beach, and Ryukyu Village in one day. Personally, I wished I had a bit more time at Kouri Island, Churaumi Aquarium, and Manza Beach. Okashi Goten might feel a bit pointless for those who aren't interested in shopping, but there is a beautiful beach and a café behind it where you can take a break.

古宇利島・美ら海水族館・お菓子御殿・万座毛・琉球村を１日で効率よく回れます。個人的には、古宇利島・美ら海水族館・万座毛でもう少し時間が欲しかったです。お菓子御殿は、買い物タイムのため買い物不要な人には手持ち無沙汰ですが、裏に綺麗なビーチ、カフェがあり休憩できます

You can efficiently visit Kouri Island, Churaumi Aquarium, Okashi Goten, Manza Beach, and Ryukyu Village in one day. Okashi Goten is a shopping stop, but there is a beautiful beach and a café behind it where you can take a short break. This tour is very popular and was fully booked on the day.

古宇利島・美ら海水族館・お菓子御殿・万座毛・琉球村を１日で効率よく回れます。御菓子御殿は、買い物タイムですが、裏に綺麗なビーチ、カフェがありますので小休止できます。本ツアー、大変人気で当日は満席でした

It was very good! I would like to use it again or recommend it! It would probably be tough to visit these three places in one day without a tour or taxi.

とても良かったたです！また利用もしくは紹介したいです！多分ツアーかタクシーでなければこの３ヶ所を１日では厳しいです

I was skeptical about visiting three islands in one day, but the schedule for each island was just right, and I was able to have a meaningful day.

１日で３島をまわるのはどうなのかと疑問を感じていましたが、各島でのスケジュール感もほどよく、有意義な一日を過ごすことができました。

The tour was comfortable and efficient for exploring the northern region, blessed with good weather. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided plenty of explanations. There were many foreign visitors, and the tour was almost full, but the explanations regarding departure times were clear, so there were no delays. Personally, I would have liked a bit more time to visit the observation tower on Kouri Island, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

好天にもめぐまれ、北部観光を効率よく回るのに快適なツアーでした。とても知識豊富なガイドさんがたっぷり説明もしてくださいました。外国の方も多く、ほぼ満席状態でしたが、出発時間などの説明もきちんとされていたので遅れることもありませんでした。個人的にはもう少し古宇利島で展望タワーに行けるくらいの時間が欲しかったですが、十分楽しめました。

The places we visited were all great with magnificent views! But we wish we could’ve stayed longer per area. We wanted to try out more activities at the ninja village and also stroll around a bit more ti check out stalls and souvenirs at Oshino village. Our tour guide Kim was helpful and accomidating as well!

Lunch was great! It was a buffet and everything was delicious. Blueberry Ice cream at Kawaguchiko lake was phenomenal. Even though it’s in the middle of winter, it’s highly recommended!

Overall, it was an amazing trip. We were able to go to all places since it was a sunny day.

You can relax and spend time on Yufu Island. The mangrove cruise was also easy to understand thanks to the friendly guide. Considering transportation and efficiency, I think an optional tour is a good choice for island sightseeing.

由布島でゆっくり過ごせます。マングローブクルーズもガイドさんが親切でわかりやすかったです。交通の便や効率性を考えると離島観光はＯＰツアーが良いと思います。

I found the tour very helpful. I was able to sightsee efficiently without getting lost, even with limited time, and I was very satisfied. They not only explained the tourist spots but also provided information about the streets and history of Kyoto in English. I would like to use this service again next time. Thank you very much.

ツアーを利用して、とても助かりました。道に迷うことなく、限られた時間の中でも、効率的に観光できて大変満足しました。観光スポットだけではなく、京都の道や歴史なども英語で説明してくれました。また次回も利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Participating alone
Since I rarely acted in a group, it was quite relaxed for me.
It might be good for beginners to easily experience various things.

一人で参加
特に団体で行動する事が少なかったので
自分的には気楽であった
初心者には簡単に色々と経験出来ていいかも
