All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was fun, and the places we visited were great, but the schedule was too packed. I was disappointed that I only had one hour at Pineapple Park, which didn't allow for enough shopping. I hope they can reconsider the time allocation. Also, there was someone who misunderstood the meeting time and didn't come back, so I would like them to distribute a schedule to ensure everyone is well-informed about the meeting time.

楽しかったし、行く場所も良かったのだがスケジュールが過密過ぎる。パイナップルパークが1時間しかないせいで買い物が満足にできなかったのが残念。
なので時間配分を見直して欲しいとは思う。
あとは集合時間を勘違いして帰ってこない人が居たので、時間表を配ったりなどして集合時間の周知徹底をしっかり行って欲しい。

As a paper driver, I participated in a bus tour. I was taken to wonderful places and I am very satisfied. Thank you very much!

ペーパードライバーの為、バスツアーに参加しました。
素敵な場所に連れて行って貰い、とても満足です。ありがとうございました‼️

After the typhoon passed, it was a great tour that allowed for sightseeing even in the stormy weather, which was appreciated for a solo female traveler without a rental car. The guide was experienced and knowledgeable, and the tour covered almost all the must-see attractions, simply wonderful. The value for this price is very reasonable.

台風一過後、暴風雨の中でもしっかり観光をしてくれ、レンタカーをしない女性一人旅には有難いツアーだった。　ガイドもベテランで知識も豊富、ツアー内容もほぼ必見観光地を網羅していて、素晴らしいの一言。この料金でこの内容は良心的だ。

I was able to see four sea turtles, took a lot of photos, and the guide's stories were interesting! They also made sure to give us enough time to practice, so everything went smoothly!

ウミガメ4匹も見れたし、写真も沢山取れたし、ガイドさんのお話も面白かった！しっかり練習する時間とかも取ってくれたので特に問題なく行けました！

I was able to participate without any hesitation, even as a single person. All the activities were great, but if I had to wish for something, I would have liked the glass boat point to be closer to the image of a tropical fish tank.

オジさんのお一人様でも気がね無く参加させていただきました。どのアクティビティも良かったですが、強いて願わくばグラスボートのポイントは熱帯魚水槽イメージに近づけて欲しかった

I used the service for three hours on the last day of my four-day trip. While adjusting the schedule, I was taken to various spots, and not only did I learn about the sights, but I also discovered the unique aspects of Ishigaki Island, such as its creatures and plants, which are not covered in guidebooks. I definitely want to use this service again. Thank you very much.

３泊４日旅行、最終日の３時間で利用させて頂きました。
時間を調整しながら、その中でも立ち寄れるスポットに連れて行って頂き、観光のお話だけでなく、石垣島の生き物や草花のお話などガイドブックには載っていない石垣島の良さを教えて頂きました。
是非また利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The weather on the originally scheduled day was bad, so it was changed to the next day. On that day, I was moved by the beautiful starry sky and the Milky Way. I hadn’t thought about any poses, but thanks to the suggestions, I was able to take wonderful photos! If I have the opportunity to visit Miyako Island again, I would like to use this service.

元々予定していた日の天気が悪く中止となったため次の日に変更していただきました。
当日はとても綺麗な星空と天の川がみれて感動しました。
ポーズなど何も考えていませんでしたが提案していただき素敵な写真を撮ることができました！
また宮古島に来る機会があれば利用したいと思います。

I was very satisfied to see the beautiful starry sky for the first time in Miyako Island. I appreciated the recommendations for great spots too!

The friendly guy made the photo shoot enjoyable, and it was really great! Thank you!

初めての宮古島で綺麗な星空がみれて大満足です‍♀️オススメの場所も教えて頂き助かりました＾＾

気さくなお兄さんでたのしく撮影できとても良かったです！ありがとうございました

It was a tour that took us around several places in the northern region by bus. You can optionally listen to explanations through earphones while on the bus. I was unsure about what to wear before participating, but since we only walked a little in the Oishi Forest, casual clothing is perfectly fine without worrying about hiking gear.
There were many participants who came alone, and the ages varied.
It was a very good experience. I would like to join other tours as well. Thank you.

北部をバスで数ヶ所を周るツアーでした。バスの中でも任意でイヤホンで説明を聞く事が出来ます。参加前に服装を悩みましたが、大石林山で少し山中を歩く程度なので、登山の装いなどを気にしなくても、楽な服装で大丈夫です。
1人参加の方が多かったです。年齢も様々でした。
とてもいい経験になりました。また他のツアーにも参加させていただきたいです。ありがとうございます。

Just before the meeting time, there was a heavy rain... While I was about to give up, I parked the car at the designated spot and stepped outside to a shock!!! The starry sky was magnificent ⭐ I had never seen the Milky Way so clearly before... The photographer's explanations were easy to understand, and they smoothly accommodated our requests during the shoot. The final results were wonderful, and I am very satisfied. However, it would have been perfect if the representative's contact information was always accessible.

集合時間の直前に大雨…
あきらめかけながらも指定の場所に車を停めて外に出て衝撃!!!満天の星空でした⭐あんなにハッキリと天の川がみれるなんて…
カメラマンさんの説明もわかりやすく、こちらの希望もきいてもらいながらスムーズに撮影できました。出来上がりも素晴らしく、とっても満足です。
ただ、代表の連絡先は常につながるようにしてしておいてもらえれば満点でした。

Content: Light stretching → Explanation of how to snorkel → Tour begins (searching for sea turtles, taking photos with sea turtles, observing coral and other fish)
Photos: The instructor took about 50 pictures!
Valuables: The instructor will keep your car keys and smartphone.
Impression: I was worried about whether we would see sea turtles because of the rain, but I'm glad we were able to take photos together safely.

内容：軽くストレッチ→シュノーケリングの仕方の説明→ツアー開始（ウミガメ捜索、ウミガメと写真、サンゴやその他魚の観察）
写真：インストラクターが約50枚程度撮ってくれました！
貴重品：車の鍵とスマホはインストラクターが預かってくれます。
感想：雨でウミガメいるか心配でしたが、無事一緒に写真を撮ることができて良かったです。

The starry sky in Miyako Island was truly beautiful and something you can only see there.

I've never seen such a wonderful starry sky before. In June and July, it seems you can see the Milky Way, and I was lucky enough to catch it.

It was so clear that I could distinctly see that it was the Milky Way with my naked eye.

I was so moved that I screamed.

The starry sky is something you can't capture on your phone, so you absolutely should participate!!

When I returned from my trip and showed it to my friends and coworkers, everyone was touched.

Miyako Island is famous for its beautiful sea, but I want to visit again just to see this starry sky.

The photographer (Ryota) who took my pictures was really kind, complimenting my poses and making it a great experience to have him take my photos!

I want to have Ryota take my pictures again next time!!!!

宮古島でしか見れない本当に綺麗な星空でした。

こんな素敵な星空をみたことがありません。
6月7月は天の川が見えるようでちょうど見ることができました。

肉眼ではっきりとあれが天の川だとわかるぐらい鮮明に見えました。

感動すぎて絶叫しました。

携帯には収めることができない星空を撮ってくれるので、絶対に参加するべきです！！

旅行から帰って、友達や職場の人に見せたらみんな感動してくれました。

宮古島は海が綺麗で有名ですが、この星空を見にまた宮古島を訪れたいです。

写真撮影をしてくれたカメラマンの方(りょーたさん)がすごく優しくて、ポーズも褒めてくれて乗せてくれるのでこの方に撮ってもらえて最高でした！

次来た時もりょーたさんに撮っていただきたいです！！！！

I experienced it in the height of summer. The intense sunlight from the sky and the sparkling reflections from the river and sea. Sunscreen measures are important.

夏真っ盛りに体験しました。
空からの強烈な日差し。川や海からのキラキラした照り返し。日焼け止め対策は重要です。

While listening to the guide's entertaining stories, I swam from Shinjō Beach through the shallows and was able to say hello to a sea turtle right away! Not just one, but several turtles, and I was healed by their leisurely pace as they ate seaweed! The guide took many wonderful photos for me! Thank you for sharing recommendations for great spots in Miyako Island!

ガイドさんの楽しいお話しを聞きながら、新城海岸から浅瀬を泳いでいくと、すぐウミガメさんとこんにちはできました！一匹に限らず何匹も会えて、ゆっくりマイペースに海藻を食べている姿に癒されました！ガイドさんには素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってもらいました！宮古島のおすすめスポットも教えてくださってありがとうございます！

It was a bit cloudy at first, which made me anxious, but thanks to the guide who quickly took photos at the right moments when the clouds parted, I was able to capture some stunning pictures! It was also great that the sample photos from the tour turned out just as they were shown, matching my expectations perfectly.

少々曇りで最初は不安でしたが、ガイドさんが雲の切れ目を狙って手早く撮影してくれたため、感動するお写真が撮れました！
ツアーの見本の写真がその通りに撮れて、イメージ通りだったこともとても良かったです

In the 8-hour course, we were able to visit all the planned spots: Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and American Village. For lunch, we had the driver’s recommended soki soba, which was very delicious.

8時間コースで、美ら海水族館、古宇利島、アメリカンヴィレッジと予定していたところ全てを回れました。
また、お昼ごはんには、運転手さんおすすめのソーキそばをいただいてとても美味しかったです。

Since it was my first time touring the Yaeyama Islands, I chose a tour where I could listen to detailed explanations. I participated with the intention of just getting a taste, as it's certainly not an island you can fully explore in half a day. However, on Yubu Island, I was healed by the stories and songs of the ox cart driver, and I was able to relax while encountering the fallen Sagari flowers at just the right moment.

When crossing to Yubu Island, I happened to ride in the only four-wheeled ox cart, pulled by "Mirai." I plan to visit the leisurely ox cart driver (whose name I forgot) again on my return.

初めての八重山諸島巡りなので詳しく説明を聞きながら周れる　ツアーにしました。
到底半日で周れる島ではないので触りだけのつもりで参加しましたが由布島では牛車夫さんの語りと歌に癒やされ島内ではタイミングよくサガリ花の落ちたのに出くわしのんびりと過ごせました。

帰りに乗ったのんびり屋さん（名前は失念）にまた会いに行きますよ。

You can go on your own, but the beauty of the tour is that the guide provides detailed explanations about the places you will visit along the way. Based on that knowledge, my visits to the Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley turned into a wonderful journey.

At Sefa Utaki, I stepped into the heart of the Ryukyu Kingdom's politics, a place that served as a spiritual home for the king and the people. In the Gangala Valley, each group had a specialized guide who joyfully introduced us to the valley's formation, its flora and fauna, and the remains of ancient human dwellings and burials, allowing us to share a moment in time with the ancient Port of Nakagusuku people.

Although my wife, who was supposed to join me, was unwell and I participated alone, I had a great time.

自分で行くことも出来ますがツアーの良さはガイドさんが道中にこれから行くところを詳しく説明してくれるところだと思います。
その知識をもとに行った斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷は素晴らしい旅になりました。
斎場御嶽では琉球王国の政治の根幹をなす王と国の民の心の拠り所に足を踏み入れ古代王朝の世界に。
ガンガラーの谷ではグループごとに専門のガイドさんが楽しくこの谷の成り立ちや動植物、古代人の住居跡や埋葬の跡を紹介してくれ太古の港川人と時空を共有出来ました。
同行予定の妻が体調不良でひとりで参加しましたが楽しく過ごせました。

The tour started at 2:30 PM, which was a bit late, so the time spent at each location during the bus tour was short. I recommend joining an earlier tour. The water buffalo was cute.

ツアーに参加した時間が2時半と遅かったので、バス観光での各所の滞在が短かったです。早い時間で参加するのがおすすめです。水牛はかわいかったです。

It says 99%, but I believe it's actually 100%. Thank you for considering my pregnant wife as well.

99%とありますが、きっと100%なんだと思います。
妊婦の妻にも配慮してもらい、ありがとうございました。

Waking up a bit early was not ideal, but I was impressed with the tour guide's sightseeing information. Since they drop you off at the airport at 1 PM, I think this is a good option for those flying in the afternoon. Thank you very much.

朝少し早いのがいまいちだけど、ガイドさんの観光案内も付いていて感動しました。午後1時に空港で降ろしてくれるので、午後便で帰る人には良い選択肢の一つになると思います。ありがとうございました。

Please consider this review with the premise of participating with preschool children.

The bus… there was trash left by the previous passengers. The audio guide content was good, but the connection with the headphones was poor. The number of participants on the tour was about half of the bus seats filled, but during the hot summer, everyone was crammed in the front seats, and there was someone nearby with a strong body odor, which was tough. Given the current COVID situation, I thought it would be better to space out the seating instead of packing everyone together. There was no restroom on the bus, so I had to be mindful of my child's bathroom timing, and I was constantly worried about restrooms during our stay at each facility. It would have been better if there were restrooms available.

Kouri Island, Okashi Goten, Manzamo… the stay time was about 30 minutes, and we were always in a hurry. I was anxious thinking that if my child threw a tantrum, there wouldn’t be time for shopping. The drop-off location on the way back was flexible (changes can only be made within the designated drop-off points).

Pineapple Park… I wished we could have stayed a little longer. There was no time to enjoy tastings. It felt like we were just pulling the kids towards the exit.

Churaumi Aquarium… they set the stay time to accommodate two dolphin shows, allowing us to choose which one to see, which was great. The aquarium isn’t that large, so if you’re just doing the dolphin show and the aquarium, the time seemed about right. Lunch was on our own, but there wasn’t time to eat leisurely. The large bus parking lot was extremely far from the aquarium. There was a paid trolley-like vehicle running inside the park, but due to the admission ticket situation, everyone had to walk to the entrance. If the tour guide had prepared and handed out the tickets on the bus beforehand, we wouldn’t have had to walk so much… but maybe that wasn’t possible due to scheduling?

I’ve mentioned mostly negative points above, but overall, I am satisfied. Above all, it’s inexpensive; the service isn’t bad for the low price, and although it’s busy, you can visit many famous spots in one day. I would even like to try a different course when I come to Okinawa next time.

未就学児を連れての参加ということを前提にご覧ください。

バス…前の人のゴミが残っていた。音声ガイドの内容は良いがイヤホンとの接続が悪い。ツアーの参加人数はバスの座席半分程度が埋まったくらいだったが、夏の暑い時に全員前に座席を固められ、近くに体臭がきつい方がおられてしんどかった。コロナの時期でもあるし、前に固めずに間隔をあけて座らせたらいいのに…と思う。バスにはトイレがないので、子どものトイレのタイミングに気を遣い、各施設滞在中もトイレのことばかり気にしていた、トイレ付きならもっと良いのに…
古宇利島、おかし御殿、万座毛…滞在時間が30分程度と始終小走り。子供がわがままを言ったら買い物なんてしてる時間ないなぁと思ってヒヤヒヤしていた。帰りに降ろしてもらう場所は融通を聞いてもらえる(設定された降車地点の中でのみ変更可)
パイナップルパーク…もう少し長くてもと思った。試飲試食を楽しむ間はない。子どもを引っ張ってとにかく出口へという感じ。
美ら海…イルカショー2回分の時間帯に滞在時間を設定してくれていて、どちらか好きな方を選んで見ることが出来てよかった。水族館内はそんなに広くないので、イルカショーと水族館のみならば時間としてはこんなもんかな？という感じ。昼食は各自だがゆっくりたべる時間はない。大型バス駐車場から水族館までものすごく遠い。園内有料でトロリー的な乗り物が走っていたが、入館券の都合で全員歩いて入り口まで連れて行かれる。ツアーの方が予め準備しておいて乗ってきたバスの中で渡してくれたらこんなに歩かずに済んだのに…日付の都合で無理なのかな？

マイナスなことばかり上には挙げていますが、総合としては満足しています。
何より安い、安い割にサービスが悪いわけではない、忙しないけれど名所を1日で一気に回れる。
次回沖縄に来ても、別のコースを頼んでみたいと思うほどです。

Although it was cloudy in Ishigaki Island at the departure point, it was raining when we arrived at Iriomote Island by boat. While there was no impact when riding the sightseeing bus or the water buffalo cart, I had to buy a raincoat for 300 yen during the walking tour on Yubu Island. The rain diminished the charm of the sightseeing experience.

I also rode the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, but I felt that it wasn't necessary to ride it twice. 2,800 yen was quite expensive.

On Taketomi Island, there was no rain, and I wandered around the houses, but considering the residents, I felt it might have been a nuisance to them, which made me feel embarrassed.

出発地の石垣島は曇天だったのに、船で西表島に着いた時には雨だった。観光バスや水牛車に乗った時には影響はないが、由布島徒歩観光の際には雨で３００円の雨合羽を購入してまわった。雨が降ると観光の魅力が半減しました。
竹冨島でも水牛車に乗ったが、２度は乗らなくても良かった感想でした。２，８００円は高かった。
竹冨島では雨はなく、民家をめぐり、うろうろしましたが、島民の事を考えると迷惑してだろうなと、恐縮しました。

I finally swam with sea turtles! I read in reviews that the free parking fills up quickly, so I arrived around 8:20 and just managed to park one car. The paid parking is 2000 yen for the day. I'm not a great swimmer; during my school swimming classes, I always ended up in the group that couldn't swim. However, the staff were very kind, saying, "If you get tired, just grab onto the float. I'll pull you." That made me feel at ease. Fortunately, with a life jacket and fins, I was able to glide through the water and enjoyed myself without needing to hold onto the float until the end! Shinjo Beach is shallow, so I could reach the seabed, which made it not scary at all. Along the way, I encountered a sea turtle that seemed used to people; it was very cute as it focused on its meal even when I got quite close. (Touching the sea turtles is prohibited.) The staff showed me photos saying, "This is how it looks right now," and the finished photos were fantastic. I'm really grateful for that. I immediately sent them to my family and friends. Not only did I see the sea turtles, but I also got to see beautiful fish, and I was very happy that they took pictures of the fish I thought were cute. Thank you very much. The staff were not only knowledgeable about sea turtles and the ocean but also kindly provided a list of recommended spots in Miyako Island via LINE at the end. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

念願だったウミガメと泳ぎました。口コミで無料駐車場がすぐ埋まるとあったので、8:20頃に着いてギリギリ1台停めれました。有料駐車場は1日2000円です。学生時代のプールの授業では毎回泳げないグループに入るほど、泳ぐのは苦手ですが、スタッフさんはとても親切で『しんどくなったら浮き輪に捕まってください。引っ張ります』とのことで安心でした。幸い、ライフジャケットとフィンですいすい進めたので、浮き輪に捕まらなくても最後まで楽しめました！新城海岸は浅くて、海底に手が届くくらいなので全然怖くなかったです。途中でウミガメに遭遇でき、人慣れしているようでかなり近づいても、ご飯タイムに集中していてとても可愛かったです。(ウミガメに触るのは禁止です) 写真も『今こんな感じに撮れてます』と見せてくださり、出来上がった写真も最高でした。本当に感謝です。さっそく家族や友人に送りました。ウミガメだけでなく、綺麗なお魚も見ることができ、私が可愛いと思っていたお魚の写真も撮ってくださっていてとても嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。スタッフさんはウミガメや海のことだけでなく、最後に宮古島のオススメスポットを一覧にしてLINEで教えてくださり最後までとても親切にしていただきました。最高の思い出をありがとうございました！

Swimming with the sea turtles was amazing! I thought it would take time to find them and that we would have to go out to deeper waters, but they were just casually swimming in the shallow areas, eating seaweed, and they didn't run away even when we got close. I couldn't believe how close we could get! It was beyond my expectations. The coral reefs were beautiful, and I wanted to keep diving there. The guide was incredibly kind, which made me feel at ease. I received many beautifully taken photos, creating wonderful memories of my time in Miyako Island. I want to come back again!

ウミガメさんとずーっと泳げて最高でした！
ウミガメを探すのに沖へ出たり、時間がかかるのかと思っていましたが、浅瀬に普通に(笑)いて、普通に泳いでいて、普通に海藻を食べていて、近くに行っても全然逃げないし、こんなに近くにいられるなんて！想像以上でした。
珊瑚礁もきれいでずっと潜っていたかったです。
ガイドさんがとにかく親切で安心できました。
きれいに撮っていただいた写真もたくさん送ってもらえて、最高の宮古島での思い出ができました。
また来たいです！

Since I’m not good with the heat in early July, I requested a bus tour, glass boat, and water buffalo cart. I had seen reviews mentioning that the guidance was unclear, so I was cautious about that, but there were no problems. During the bus tour, we had a little free time at one beach. The coral I saw while on the glass boat made me want to protect it in the future.

7月上旬で暑いのは苦手なので
バスの観光、グラスボート、水牛車をお願いしました。
体験談で案内が分かりにくかったということでしたが、
それを見ていってたので気をつけておりましたが、問題ありませんでした。
バスの観光でも、1つの浜で降りて少しの間自由時間がありました。
です。
グラスボードでみたサンゴ、今後守っていきたいなと思いました。

The explanations were very friendly and easy to understand. During the transfer to the beach, the guide casually talked to all the participants about delicious restaurants, allowing us to enjoy our time even outside of snorkeling. The explanations during snorkeling were also clear. They sent us about 60 to 70 photos, including pictures with sea turtles and of the coral and fish underwater. They turned out beautifully and became precious memories. I would love to request their services again when I visit Miyako Island. Thank you very much!!

From Shinji

It was my first time snorkeling, and I received thorough instruction. Additionally, I was given recommendations for great restaurants, making the time outside of snorkeling enjoyable as well.

During snorkeling, I was able to get so close to the turtles that I couldn't believe it!

It was a fun and valuable experience, and I would like to participate again. I highly recommend it!

From Daiki

Thanks to Yamachan's cheerful guidance, I swam a lot, and the enjoyable time flew by. I actually got to see sea turtles and had beautiful photos taken, making it the best experience! Also, I was introduced to delicious yakitori restaurants in Tokyo and Miyako, so I hope to visit them if I get the chance, haha. I will rely on you again when I go to Miyako!

From Keita

とても和やかにご説明等してくださいました。海までの移動中も美味しいお店等気さくに参加者の皆さんに話してくださり、シュノーケル以外のお時間も楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
シュノーケルの最中も、分かりやすい説明でした。ウミガメとの写真、海の中の珊瑚や魚たちの写真含め、60〜70枚ほど送ってくださいました。とても綺麗に写っていて、貴重な思い出になりました。
また宮古島へ遊び行った際は、またお願いしたいです。本当にありがとうございました！！


しんじより　

はじめてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらえました。
また、オススメのお店を教えてもらえたりと、シュノーケリング時以外でも、楽しく過ごせました。

シュノーケリングでは、
こんなに近付けるの!?っていうくらい、亀に近付いて観ることができました。

楽しく、貴重な体験ができるので、また参加したいと思います。オススメです！


だいきより


やまちゃんさんの明るいガイドもあり、たくさん泳ぎましたが、あっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎて行きました。実際にウミガメも見ることができて綺麗な写真も撮影していただき最高の体験でした！
また、東京と宮古の美味しい焼き鳥屋も紹介してもらったので機会があれば行きたいと思います笑
また宮古に行った際はお世話になります！

けいたより

I was able to efficiently sightsee for half a day on the last day.
The World Heritage Site "Sefa Utaki" is a must-visit.
The limestone cave at Okinawa World is very beautiful. My child was moved to see a limestone cave for the first time.

最終日の半日を効率よく観光できました。
世界文化遺産「斎場御獄」がMust visit
おきなわワールドの鍾乳洞がとてもきれい。こどもがはじめて鍾乳洞をみれて感動した。

The photographer was very kind! They took the photo at the perfect moment when the first star was beautiful, so I am very satisfied! I would like to ask them again when I come back to Miyako Island. 😊

とても親切なカメラマンさんでした！
タイミングを見て、一番星が綺麗な時に撮ってくださったのでとても満足です！
また宮古島に来た時はお願いしたいと思います☺️

It was a meaningful day as we were able to go to the places we wanted with a chartered sightseeing taxi since we traveled without a car on our parent-child trip. The driver was friendly and kind, taking photos for us and sharing various information. I would like to request this taxi service again when I use a taxi in the future. Thank you very much!

親子2人旅で車なしの旅だったので、貸切観光タクシーで行きたい場所に行けて有意義な一日になりました。
写真も撮っていただいたり、色んな情報も教えてもらって気さくで優しいドライバーさんで良かったです！
またタクシーを使うときは、こちらでお願いしたいです。
ありがとうございました。
