Japan
We were fortunate with the weather and were able to take some wonderful starry sky photos! I thought it might be difficult since we had a one-year-old child, but Ryota, who was in charge, guided us through the composition and poses with care and smoothness, so we managed to finish the shoot! The data was processed and sent back quickly, allowing us to enjoy the photos sooner than we expected! If anyone is going to Miyako Island, I will definitely recommend this! Thank you very much!
天候にも運良く恵まれ、とても素敵な星空フォトを撮っていただきました!1歳の子供がいたのでなかなか難しいかな‥と思いましたが、担当してくれた、りょーたさんが、丁寧且つスムーズに構図やポーズを誘導してくださったので、なんとか撮り終わる事が出来ました!!データも迅速に処理し送ってくださったので、思っていたよりも早く写真を楽しむことが出来ました!!宮古島に行かれる方がいらっしゃったら紹介しようと思います!ありがとうございました!!
Thank you for participating in the tour this time! We look forward to your next participation.
この度はツアーにご参加頂き有り難うございました^_^
是非またのご参加をお待ちしております
The photographer was funny, and the stars were beautiful; I was very moved. Thank you for the wonderful time!
写真を撮ってくれるお兄さんが面白くて
星も綺麗でとても感動しました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました!
I'm glad to hear that! I look forward to working with you again.
そう言っていただけて嬉しいです^_^
また宜しくお願い致します
It was a comfortable tour with a good pace and just the right amount of explanation. My mother was happy that she could walk 22 kilometers! Thank you very much.
良いペース配分と程よい解説で快適なツアーでした。
22キロ歩けた!と母が嬉しそうでした。
ありがとうございました。
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time doing SUP and snorkeling, but the guide was very attentive and I had a great time! Even though I was the only one participating among many pairs, I had no issues at all. During the SUP, we were taken to a waterfall basin, which was deep enough that I couldn't touch the bottom, but I could swim and enjoy the waterfall experience! I was nervous about snorkeling for the first time, but I was able to get used to it while holding onto the guide's float board.
Bara Island was a bit painful to walk on due to the heels, but it was a stunning island made of rare coral, with only two in the world! The view was breathtaking! There were plenty of fish and coral, and the deep trenches expanded the underwater world for sure. I was really glad to participate, especially since it had been 3 to 4 weeks since the last landing! The guide took lots of photos and videos, so I could safely leave my smartphone in the car.
Next time, I’d like to try the limestone caves and sea turtle snorkeling as well! Thank you for your thoughtful care; I enjoyed every moment!
初SUP&初シュノーケリングだったので不安な気持ちがありましたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださり楽しめました!
お二人組が多い中1人参加でしたが全く問題なく参加できました◎
SUPの途中滝壺に案内して下さり、足がつかないほど深いところでしたが泳いで滝行もできます!
初シュノーケリングで不安だったのでガイドさんの浮輪ボードにつかまりながら馴らせていけました!
バラス島は途中歩くところがかかとが痛いですが世界に二つしかない貴重な珊瑚でできた島とのことで絶景でした!お魚や珊瑚はもちろん深い海溝もあり世界観が広がること間違いなしだと思います。3〜4週間振りの上陸とのことで本当に参加できて良かったです!!
ガイドさんが沢山お写真や動画を撮って下さったのでスマホも安心して車内に置いていけます◎
次回は鍾乳洞や海亀シュノーケリング等も行ってみたいです!
細やかな気遣いをしてくださり終始楽しめましたありがとうございました!!
From Shiratani Unsuikyo to Taiko Rock, the weather was cloudy, and there was a forecast for light rain around noon. Thanks to our guide's accurate judgment to go to Taiko Rock before lunch, we were able to enjoy the wonderful view from Taiko Rock! Additionally, we were grateful to have miso soup prepared for us during lunchtime. While walking and during short breaks, we learned a lot about Yakushima's environment, plants, and the lives of its people, for which I am thankful! In the end, the rain we were worried about never came. It was the best day, guided by an amazing guide.
白谷雲水峡から太鼓岩へ 天気は曇り、昼あたりから小雨かの予報が出ていました。昼ごはんを食べる前に太鼓岩まで行こうという、ガイドさんの的確な判断のおかげで、太鼓岩からの素晴らしい眺めをみることができました!また、昼ごはん時には味噌汁も用意していただき、ありがたい限りでした。歩きながら、そして小休憩の時に屋久島の環境、植物、人々の暮らしなどなどいろいろ教えていただき、感謝!
結局心配してた雨も降らずでした。
すばらしいガイドさんに案内してもらえて最高の一日でした。
I experienced SUP for the first time, and it was so much fun!!! The guide's stories were interesting, and the weather was nice, allowing us to see the mangroves beautifully, making it a wonderful memory!
During the snorkeling in the afternoon, the sea was beautiful, and we saw many coral reefs and fish! Barasu Island was also incredibly beautiful!!
This is a recommended tour if you come to Iriomote Island!
初めてSUPを体験しましたが,めちゃ楽しめました!!!ガイドさんの話も面白く,晴れていてマングローブも綺麗に見れて最高の思い出になりました!
また午後に行ったシュノーケリングでは,海が綺麗でサンゴ礁や魚がたくさん見れました!バラス島も最高に綺麗でした!!
西表島に来たらオススメのツアーです!
Since the tour to Balas Island was canceled, I only participated in the morning mangrove canoeing. There were quite a few guests, and at first, I wondered if it would be okay, but the guides worked together efficiently and made sure that each guide team could rotate in an orderly manner. The transportation to the port was smooth, and all the guests were cooperative, making it a fun experience.
Guide R-kun constantly entertained the guests with interesting stories, ranging from jokes to serious jungle tales. At various points, he took photos of each guest, and when we managed to strike a good pose, everyone applauded, which was a lot of fun!
I intended to bring my waterproof camera, but I was told to leave it behind, so I complied. However, there were guests from other teams who brought their cameras, so I thought it would be even better if there was some consistency regarding that. Although I couldn't bring my camera, I was able to take many photos, and I received them via LINE at the end, which was great!
バラス島が催行されなくなったため、午前のマングローブカヌーのみ参加しました。
ゲストが結構な大人数で、最初は大丈夫かな〜と思ったのですが、ガイドのみなさんが仲良くテキパキ連携して、それぞれのガイドチームが順序よくまわれるよう工夫されていました。港への送迎もスムーズで、ゲストのみなさんも協力的で楽しくすごせました。
ガイドのRっくんは常にゲストを楽しませようとおもしろい話(ジョークから真面目なジャングルの話まで笑)をたくさんしてくれました。ポイントポイントで各ゲストごとに写真を撮ってくれて、良いポーズが撮れるとみんなで拍手したり、楽しかったです!
自分の防水カメラを持っていこうと思ったら置いていってほしいと言われたので、従ったのですが、持ってきてるチームのゲストもいたので、その辺り統一していただけるとさらに良いなぁと思いました。自分のカメラは持っていけませんでしたが、写真はたくさん撮って最期にLINEでもらえたので、よかったです!
This is my second time with the water buffalo tour, and this time it was with the Taketomi Tourism Center. The laid-back water buffalo "Mae" stopped several times along the way to take breaks, and we enjoyed the path lined with bougainvillea. There is also a photo service available.
水牛観光は二度目ですが、
今回は竹富観光センターさんでした。
のんびりマイペースの水牛「真栄」君、
途中何度も立ち止まり、休憩しながら、
ブーゲンビリアの道をすすみ、
和みました。
写真サービスも、あります。
Thanks to our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable about Yakushima, we were able to hear fascinating stories and visit scenic spots, making our round trip around Yakushima enjoyable.
屋久島を知り尽くしておられるガイドさんならではの、お話も聞けて、景勝地にも連れて行って下さり、楽しく屋久島を一周できました。
I was able to enjoy everything I wanted to see and do on this tour. I do not recommend doing the island hopping on your own. After landing on the island by ferry, there is a distance to travel to the sightseeing spots, so you'll need transportation.
見たいところやってみたいこと、全部このツアーで楽しめました。
離島巡りは個人でやるのはお勧めしません。
フェリーで離島上陸後、観光スポットまで行くのに距離があるので足が必要になります。
My first trip to the three islands was enjoyable, as I was able to efficiently visit places that would be difficult to cover on my own. The only downside was at the Takeubushima Water Buffalo Cart stop, where I felt a bit uncomfortable being asked to buy photos that I didn't want. In this age of smartphones, I think such commemorative photos are unnecessary. I also thought it would be better if we could choose at the beginning whether or not to include a commemorative photo.
初めての3島巡りは、個人では周りきれないスケジュールを効率よく周る事ができ楽しめました。
唯一残念なのは、竹生島水牛車下車庫 欲しくも無い写真を撮られ買わないか?と言うよくあるパターンを断るのにちょっと嫌な気分になりました。
スマホ普及のご時世なのでその様な記念写真はいらないと思います。又最初から記念写真付きか付きじゃ無いか選べたら良いとも思いました。
It was a tour with two middle-aged men, but I was able to participate feeling great. I think it would be better if there were a bit more time for restroom breaks along the way. The mothers with children seemed to have a tough time.
初老のオヤジ二人のツアー参加でしたが、ただただ気分良く参加出来ました。
途中でのトイレ休憩にもう少し余裕があれば良いのではと思われます。
子ども連れのお母さんが大変そうでした。
Thanks to our very attentive guide and everyone I met during this once-in-a-lifetime experience, I was able to enjoy a safe and wonderful visit to Jomon Sugi. I am grateful! The photos were taken at just the right moments, making for great memories. Thank you very much!
とても気配りのきくガイドさん、そして一期一会でご一緒した皆様のおかげで、楽しく、無事に縄文杉に会いに行くことができました。
感謝です!写真もポイントポイントで、タイミングよく撮っていただいて、よい記念になりました。ありがとうございました
I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy seeing Jomon Sugi with a friendly group of four people. The guide was from Yakushima and shared many interesting stories about the differences between the past and present, as well as local customs, making for a fun tour. All four participants happened to be physically fit, and since we had some time before the bus, we were introduced to some hidden spots that are not part of the usual course. I was definitely sore the next day, but it became a wonderful memory.
1人での参加でしたが、計4人のグループで和気あいあいと縄文杉を見ることができました。ガイドさんは屋久島出身の方で、昔と今の違いや地元の風習など、多くのエピソードを交えながらの楽しいツアーでした。参加者4人が偶然にも体力がある方で、バスの時間まで余裕があった為に、普段のコースでは無い穴場スポットまで紹介して頂きました。翌日は流石に筋肉痛になりましたが、とても良い思い出になりました。
I participated in the New Year event. It was a tour that left my children, who are in 7th grade, 5th grade, and 1st grade, very satisfied. I would like to invite my parents next time. Thank you very much.
お正月に参加しました。
中1、小5、小1の子供達も大満足のツアーでした。
次回は両親も誘いたいと思ってます。
ありがとうございました。
- Sup
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but they taught me patiently, and I was able to ride smoothly. They also taught me some tricks, and I tried them, but they were indeed difficult... However, the sea was warm even at this time of year, and it felt nice to fall in, haha. Everyone who participated with me was kind, and I had a great time!
- Snorkeling
The guide took us to the spot, and in addition to the colorful fish typical of Okinawa, I was lucky enough to see 3 or 4 sea turtles, which was a rare experience. I learned for the first time that sea turtles need to come up for air... Their eyes were round and very cute. We took a lot of pictures, and it became a wonderful memory!
All the guides were warm and friendly, and I had a very fulfilling day. I would love to participate again when I visit Miyako Island!
・sup
初めてだったのでうまくできるか不安でしたが、丁寧に教えていただけ、スイスイと乗ることができました。
ちょっとした技も教えてもらい、挑戦しましたがやはり難しく…でも海はこの時期でも暖かくて、落ちても気持ちよかったです笑笑
一緒に参加した方たちも皆優しく、楽しい時間が過ごせました!
・シュノーケリング
ガイドさんがスポットに案内してくれて、沖縄っぽいカラフルな魚に加え、運良く海亀を3、4匹見れて貴重な体験ができました。海亀は息継ぎをするというのをここで初知り…目がつぶらでとても可愛かったです。
沢山写真も撮ってもらえ、良い思い出になりました!
ガイドさんはどの方も温かみがあって、とても充実した1日を過ごせました。
また宮古島に伺った時は参加したいです!
The weather was bad, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we were able to visit the mangroves, which was fun! I was really surprised by the power of nature that I normally wouldn't see. I also enjoyed hearing the little tips from our guide, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The information about local shops was very valuable, and thanks to that, I was able to enjoy delicious yakiniku and Okinawa soba. If I can come to Ishigaki Island again, I would like to try going to the Blue Cave! Thank you very much!
天候が悪く、青の洞窟にはいけませんでしたがマングローブには行けて楽しかったです!
普段じゃ絶対に見れない自然の迫力に大変驚かされました
ガイドの方のプチ情報も聞けて旅行をさらに楽しむことができました☺︎現地の方のお店の情報は、大変貴重でしたおかげさまで美味しい焼肉も沖縄そばも食べることができました
また今度石垣島に来れたら、青の洞窟も行ってみたいと思います!
本当にありがとうございました!
Every staff member was kind and it was very nice no matter which island I went to. I regret that I didn't have enough time to go around Yufu Island. I wanted to walk more in nature... The songs and dances of the old lady were amazing. The water buffalo experience was also good and fun.
どの島に行ってもスタッフの方全て親切でとても良かったです。
由布島はちょっと時間が足りず島を一周する事が出来なかったのが心残りです。もっと自然の中を歩きたかったですぅ、、
オバァの唄と踊り最高でした
水牛体験もGOOD楽しかった
I participated in snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Although it was February, the weather was nice, so it wasn't as cold as I expected. During snorkeling, I was able to meet a sea turtle that was eating. The sea turtle, happily munching away, was so cute and soothing! It was also a lot of fun to swim slowly among many fish.
For SUP, we moved to a different location and experienced it in another part of the ocean. I was worried about whether I could balance on the board, but the guide carefully taught me how to ride and gave me tips, so I was able to enjoy it. It was a lot of fun to experience it while gazing at the beautiful waters of Okinawa.
It turned out to be a wonderful day filled with great memories. Thank you!
シュノーケリングとSUPに参加しました。
2月ですが天候が良かったこともあり、思ったよりも寒くなかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、ご飯中のウミガメに会うことができました。おいしそうにご飯を食べているウミガメはとってもかわいくて癒されました!
ウミガメの他にも、たくさんのお魚がいる中をゆっくりと泳ぐことができてとても楽しかったです。
SUPは場所を移動して、シュノーケリングとは違う海で体験しました。
乗れるかどうか不安でしたが、ガイドの方が乗り方やコツを丁寧に教えてくれるので楽しむことができました。
綺麗な沖縄の海を眺めながら体験することができてとても楽しかったです。
1日すごくいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました!
I participated alone as a 53-year-old woman. I was worried about whether I could manage without causing any trouble, but thanks to the people who climbed with me and the guide, I was able to meet Jomon Sugi safely.
53歳女子一人参加でした。
迷惑かけずに頑張れるかなと不安でしたが、一緒に登ってくださった方ガイドの方のおかげで無事に縄文杉に会うことが出来ました。
This time, I had a one-day experience with canoeing and snorkeling. The weather wasn't great and it was cold, but I had a lot of fun. I chose canoeing, but I also got to try stand-up paddleboarding, so I enjoyed both! The wind was strong, but paddling hard helped ease the cold. Snorkeling was really, really cold, but in the end, I was able to encounter a turtle, which made for a great memory despite the chill. The staff were also very polite, and they took some nice photos for us, which was great.
今回、カヌーとシュノーケルの1日体験をさせていただきました。
天候が恵まれず寒かったですが、すごく楽しかったです。
カヌーを選びましたが、サップもやらせていただき両方楽しむことができました!
風が強かったので、必死に漕いでいたら寒さは緩和されました。
シュノーケルは本当に本当に寒かったですが、最後に亀に出会うことができて、寒かったけどすごくいいい思い出なりました。
スタッフの方も丁寧で、いい感じに写真も撮っていただきよかったです。
Thank you for participating in the Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi tour!
Despite the bad weather, I am glad that you were able to experience an extraordinary time with SUP canoeing and snorkeling.
この度は宮古島ADVENTURE PiPiのツアーへご参加頂きありがとうございました!
悪天候ではありましたが、SUPカヌーや、
シュノーケリングをし、非日常的な時間を体験出来たことを嬉しく思います
The transfers between boats and buses were smooth, allowing us to see everything very efficiently. I think this is the advantage of the tour.
船やバスなどの乗り換えがスムーズで、とても効率よく見て回ることができました。ツアーの良さだと思います。
This time, I participated in sea turtle snorkeling and SUP!
For the sea turtle snorkeling, there were about 15 of us, including our group, divided into family/couple teams and a young, energetic men's team, with one staff member assigned to each team. I appreciated the thoughtful arrangement of separating the groups into families and couples.
We were in the family/couple team, and the staff member assigned to us was cheerful and lively, making it enjoyable for us. They explained how to use and wear the equipment and the points of interest clearly. We were able to encounter sea turtles, which was very satisfying!
For the SUP, there were four of us, including our group, and two in a canoe, with activities at different locations. I was very happy that the staff member who handled the snorkeling was also in charge of the SUP. I was nervous since it was my first time on a SUP, but I had a great experience chatting with the staff and other participants!
Even though it was February, the water temperature wasn't cold at all. However, it was indeed chilly after getting out of the sea. It seems like having extra towels would be beneficial. The staff prepared bottles of warm water, which helped a lot for washing off sand and rinsing our feet!
They also took commemorative photos underwater and during the SUP, and sent the photo data on the same day! It might be difficult to send the data on the same day during busy periods, but I think they will send it quickly! Thank you for the wonderful memories!
今回、ウミガメシュノーケリングとSUPに参加しました!
ウミガメシュノーケリングでは私達含め約15名程いましたが、家族・カップルチームと、若い元気なメンズチーム、スタッフさんが1名ずつ各チームに付いてくれました。団体さんと家族・カップルで分けてチーム編成してくれる気配りが良かったです。
私達は家族・カップルチームで、担当してくださったスタッフさんは元気で明るい方で、一緒に楽しめました。道具の使い方や付け方、ポイント等も分かりやすく説明してくれました。
ウミガメにも遭遇することができ、満足でした!
SUPでは私達含め4名、カヌー2名で場所を変えてのアクティビティでした。シュノーケリングを担当していただいたスタッフさんがSUPでも担当ということで、とても嬉しかったです。
初めてのSUPで緊張しましたが、スタッフさん、他の参加者さんともお話ししながら楽しく体験できました!
2月でしたが、どちらも水温は冷たくなかったです。しかし、海から上がった後はさすがに寒かったです。タオルも余分にあった方が何かと良さそうです。スタッフさんがぬるま湯の入ったペットボトルを用意してくださり、砂を落としたり足を洗ったりと、とても助かりました!
海中での記念撮影、SUPの時も撮影してくださり、その日のうちに写真データを送っていただきました!繁忙期だとその日のうちにデータ送付は難しいかもしれませんが、すぐ送っていただけると思います!
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました!
Thank you for using Adventure Pipi Miyako Island. I am also happy to have been able to support your memories. The sea turtles, Nemo, and other fish were adorable, weren't they? We look forward to seeing you again next summer.
Adventure Pipi, Sakamoto
この度はアドベンチャーピピ宮古島店をご利用頂き有難う御座います。
お客様の思い出のサポートができ僕自身も幸せにおもいます。
海亀にニモ、そのほかの魚も可愛かったですね!次はまた夏にお待ちしております。
アドベンチャーピピ 坂本
The interior of the ship was very clean, and I was able to spend my time comfortably. The staff were also very pleasant and kindly guided me to my designated cabin. There were slippers provided on board, which was quite nice. It was great not having to worry about moving to the restroom or shower room, which also helped reduce the amount of luggage I had to carry. The green sleeping compartments have curtains, so I could lie down without worrying about the eyes of others. After arriving at Aokata Port, I took a short rest in the tatami nap room inside the terminal. Please note that there are no blankets or partitions, so it might be difficult to get a good sleep!
船内はとても清潔感があり、快適に過ごすことができました。スタッフさんも非常に感じがよく、指定客室までご丁寧に案内いただけます。船内では備え付けのスリッパもあり、これが結構嬉しいですね。客室からお手洗いに行ったり、シャワー室に行ったり、移動の際のわずらわしさもなく、荷物も減らせるのでありがたいです。グリーン寝台はカーテンが付いているので、周りの目を気にすることなく、横になれます。青方港到着後はターミナル内の畳の仮眠室で少し横になりました。ブランケットなどの備品はなく、仕切り等もないので、がっつり寝るのは難しいのでご注意を!
ご乗船ありがとうございました!またの五島列島への訪問を心よりお待ちしております!
This time, we participated in a tour visiting three remote islands with two families (four adults and five children). I was worried because there were many of us, and we had a one-year-old child, but the staff was very attentive, which was great.
The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was enjoyable for the adults. The water buffalo carts on Yubu Island and Taketomi Island provided a wonderful experience for both adults and children, and I felt it was worth participating in the tour! Personally, I really liked Kaiji Beach when we did the bus tour on Taketomi Island. I had been there before but remembered not being able to find any star sand. However, this time the bus driver taught us how to search for it, and thanks to that, we were able to find a lot, and both adults and children were engrossed in the search!
Since it was a nice day, the scenery was also very good, and we were able to spend a fantastic day.
今回、2家族(大人4人、子ども5人)で、離島3島巡りのツアーに参加しました。
人数が多く、子どもは1歳の小さい子もいたので心配していましたが、丁寧に対応してくださいってとてもよかったです。
西表島のマングローブ遊覧は大人が楽しめました。由布島・竹富島の水牛車は大人も子どももよい体験ができて、ツアーに参加してよかったと思いました!
個人的には竹富島でバス観光した際に行ったカイジ浜がよかったです。以前行ったことがあったのですが、星の砂が全然見つからなかった記憶がありました。しかし今回はバスの運転手さんが探し方を教えてくれて、そのおかげでたくさん見つけることができて大人も子どもも夢中になって探しました!
天気がいい日だったこともあり、景気もとてもよく、最高の1日を過ごすことができました。
Since we were traveling with children, I thought a tour would be best for the remote islands, so I signed up.
For the tour options, I had already taken the glass-bottom boat the day before, so I chose the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing.
The highlight for my child was definitely taking the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. The water buffalo were cute, and there was a bathroom break along the way, which seemed to be a hit! I really enjoyed the atmosphere when the guide sang folk songs on the shamisen while we rode the water buffalo cart.
Also, the boat rocked more than anything I've experienced in my life! It felt like a roller coaster, and the kids were thrilled!
Although we were already feeling full by the time we reached Yubu Island, it was nice to take it easy again on the water buffalo cart while exploring Taketomi Island.
The time spent at each location was short, but the guides were experienced and kept a good pace, so both my child and I could keep up! We also had no issues with bathroom breaks.
子連れのため、離島はツアーが良いと思い申し込みました。
選べるツアーはグラスボートは前日に乗ったので、水牛車とバス観光をチョイス。
子供の1番のポイントは、由布島に水牛車で行ったところでした。水牛さんが可愛いのと、途中トイレタイムがあったのがヒットポイントだったようです笑
私は水牛車でガイドさんが三味線で民謡を歌ってくれたのが雰囲気があってすごく良かったです。
あと、船が人生で1番揺れました!ジェットコースターのようで、これもまた子供も大喜びでした!
由布島で既にお腹いっぱい感はありましたが、竹富島で再び水牛車でのんびり周遊しつつ休憩できたのは良かったなと思います。
各所滞在時間は短いですが、ガイドさんの皆様も手慣れた様子でテンポよく回れて子供も私もついて行けました!
トイレにも困らなかったです。
It was disappointing that the weather was bad and cold during my first island-hopping trip. There's nothing that can be done about that. I hope to have a chance to redeem myself next time.
初めての離島巡りで天気が悪く、寒かったのが残念でした。こればかりは、仕方ないですね。次回リベンジしたいと思います。
I made the best memories.
I have participated in the tour several times, and I am very satisfied with each one.
I want to invite my friends to go again.
最高の思い出ができました。
何度かツアーに参加させて頂いていますが、どのツアーも大満足です。
またお友達を誘って行きたいです。
Planning a trip to the remote islands by yourself is quite difficult, so it was great to visit three islands all at once! I was worried about lunch after reading other reviews, but I was satisfied with the meal provided on the tour.
The mangroves on Iriomote Island are amazing, and if you're considering a remote island tour from Ishigaki Island, I definitely think you should see them at least once. It was cloudy, very windy, and cold, but the early morning tour was better because the river wasn't rough, and we could see a lot of fish. (If you participate in winter, it's a good idea to bring a light down jacket or something similar, even if it becomes extra luggage.)
The optional water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island was very relaxing and enjoyable! If you go, be sure to ride and listen to the guide's songs and stories! The bus tour was also helpful since it was a cold day with bad weather.
I thought it would be nice if we could choose whether to take photos with the water buffalo. (I had already purchased photos with the water buffalo on Yubu Island.) I expected to have a bit more free time on Taketomi Island, so the bus to the port was a little early, and I couldn't shop or do anything, which was a bit disappointing.
Overall, the guidance was smooth, and the guides were friendly, making it a very comfortable tour, so I was very satisfied.
自分で離島巡りを計画するのはかなり難しいので、一気に三島をまわれてよかったです!
お昼ご飯は他のクチコミを見て心配してましたが、ツアーのご飯としては満足できました。
西表島のマングローブは素晴らしく石垣島からの離島ツアーを考えているならぜひ一度は見た方がいいと思います。
曇りでとても風が強く寒かったですが、朝早い時間のツアーの方が川が荒れてなくて魚もたくさん見れました。(冬に参加する場合荷物になったとしても薄めのダウン等は持っておいた方がいいです)
竹富島のオプションの水牛車観光はのんびりできてとてもよかったです!!
行ったら是非乗ってガイドさんの歌とお話を聞いてください!
バスのツアーも天気が悪く寒い日だったので助かりました。
水牛の写真のは撮るかどうか選ばせていただけるといいかな?と思いました。(由布島で水牛との写真を購入してた為)
竹富島でもう少し自由時間があると思っていたので港までのバスが少し早く、買い物したりできなくバタバタしたのが残念でした。
全体としては案内もスムーズでガイドさんたちの感じも良くとっても快適なツアーだったので大満足です。
I appreciated the attention to detail, and I was able to build good relationships with my fellow tour members. The weather was also great, making it an enjoyable tour. Thank you very much!
細かなことまで気を使ってもらい、ツアーの仲間達とも良い関係ができ、お天気にもあたり、楽しいツアーでした。ありがとうございました
