All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

My first SUP experience was a very enjoyable activity with thorough instructions. It was a fun time feeling nature together and learning about the characteristics of Ishigaki Island!

I was disappointed that snorkeling was canceled, but I created memories that make me want to go again!

初めてのSUPは、丁寧なレクチャーもあってとても良い気持ちいいアクティビティーでした。みんなで自然を感じて、石垣島の特徴を知れる楽しい時間となりました！

シュノーケリングは、中止になってしまって残念でしたがまた行きたいと思える思い出が出来ました！

It was a tour that visited various places I wanted to see, so I booked it immediately. Since it was a weekday in early October, there weren't too many participants, and the large bus provided plenty of space, making it very comfortable! On the Submarine Jr. II, the waves were strong, and I did get quite seasick, but overall, I was satisfied with the course that allowed me to fully experience the charm of Okinawa's main island from morning until night!

行ってみたかった各所を巡るツアーだったので即予約しました。
10月上旬の平日であったこともあって参加者も多すぎず、
大型バスだったので余裕のあるスペースでとても快適でした！
サブマリンJrⅡでは波が強かったこともあり、かなり船酔いしてしまいましたが、、朝から夜までみっちり沖縄本島の魅力を感じられるコースで満足です！

As a paper driver, I participated with my child. It was great to efficiently tour the main attractions in Okinawa. I think it was a great deal since the ticket to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was included. The guide was very kind. At the last souvenir shop, there was a vending machine selling delicious purple sweet potato tarts. The register was very crowded, so I recommend lining up early. On the way back, we were able to get off at a different location from the meeting point, which allowed us to stroll along Kokusai Street, so that was nice.

ペーパードライバーの為、子供と2人で参加しました。
沖縄の主要な観光地にツアーで効率よく周れてとても良かったです。美ら海水族館のチケットも含まれていたのでとてもお得だと思います。
ガイドさんがとても親切な方でした。
最後のお土産屋さんには生紅芋タルトが自動販売機で売られていて美味しかったです。レジがすごく混んでいたので、早くレジに並ぶのをおすすめします。
帰りは集合場所と違う場所で降りられ、国際通りを散策できたので良かったです。

I received an email the day before the reservation stating that there is a parking fee of 1,000 yen. It also mentioned that prescription goggles would cost an additional 1,000 yen. I have done snorkeling with other tours from Veltra, and they did not charge extra for prescription goggles. If there is an additional fee, I believe it should be clearly explained at the time of booking.

As for the tour itself, I was able to see sea turtles, and the SUP was fun, so overall, I was satisfied.

予約日の前日にメールが来て、駐車場代1000円かかります。度付きのゴーグルは1000円かかりますとの事でした。シュノーケリング、他のベルトラのツアーでしましたけど、度付きのゴーグルは、別料金取られませんでした。別料金取るのなら、予約の段階できちんと説明すべきではと思います。
ツアー自体は、ウミガメも見れたし、SUPも楽しかったし、満足のいく物でした。

It was disappointing that the glass boat tour was canceled due to the weather, but the alternative bus tour was enjoyable with a fun guide. I was able to find star sand, and the leisurely tour on the water buffalo cart was nice as well. I also appreciated being taken back to the hotel after the tour.

グラスボートが天候の関係で中止になったのが、残念でしたが、代わりのバス観光も楽しい運転手さんのガイド付きで楽しめました。
星の砂を見つけることも出来たし、のんびりと水牛車での観光も良かったです。
ツアー終了後にホテルまで送ってもらえたのもありがたかったです。

I couldn't rent a car, so I signed up for a tour. I saw reviews saying Pineapple Park was boring, but I enjoyed taking my time there. There was a little mishap where someone from a different tour got on our bus, and we had to make a U-turn to Pineapple Park, which was quite amusing.

I had lunch at the café in front of the whale shark at Churaumi Aquarium. There are reserved and non-reserved seats, and if you're concerned about time, it seems the non-reserved seats get called faster. By the way, I chose a reserved seat and waited for 30 minutes, but it was amazing to see the impressive whale shark up close. The tour guide's explanations in both English and Japanese were wonderful!

レンタカーが、借りれなかったんで、ツアー申し込みしました
パイナップルパークは、口コミつまらないと、ありましたが、ゆっくり回れて良かったです
ちょっとしたハプニングがあり、なんと、違うツアーの人が、乗っていて、パイナップルパークに、Uターンちょっと面白かったです
美ら海水族館で、ランチ食べたんですが、ジンベイザメの前のカフェですが、指定席と、自由席が、ありますが、時間を気にするなら、自由席のほうが早く呼ばれるみたいです
ちなみに、指定席に、したんで、30分待ちました、でも、大迫力のジンベイザメを間近で見れて最高でした
添乗員の人の英語日本語の二ヶ国の説明素敵すぎました

My first time in the Yaeyama Islands was amazing with great weather. Thank you!

The guide was very attentive, and the plan and sightseeing time were just right, allowing us to enjoy everything!

Each island in the Yaeyama Islands has its own unique charm, and you can fully enjoy them in just one day, so I highly recommend it for first-timers.

初めての八重山諸島
天気も良くて最高でした。
ありがとうございました！

ガイドさんも丁寧な案内
プランも観光時間もちょうど良くて全て満喫しました！

八重山諸島の島々は、それぞれ違った魅力を持っていて１日で満喫できるから
初めての人にはぜひオススメしたいです。

I chose this tour because it included Oishi Forest Park, but the Higashi Village Fureai Mangrove Park was also a very beautiful place. The lunch at Kunigami Port Shokudo was delicious, and I thought the experience was quite good as I enjoyed it comfortably on a nice bus. Kuuta at the Yanbaru Kuina Ecological Exhibition Learning Center was adorable, and it made me feel that we should cherish the environment of Yambaru that nurtures such endemic species.

このツアーは大石林山がコースに入っていたので選びましたが、東村ふれあいヒルギ公園もとてもきれいなところでしたし、国頭港食堂での昼食もおいしくて、快適なバスで楽ちんしながら楽しめてかなり良い内容だと思いました。ヤンバルクイナ生態展示学習施設のクー太も可愛くて、こういった固有種を育む山原の環境を大切にしたいと感じました。

The purpose of this trip was to ride a water buffalo cart. Every time I saw it featured on TV, I thought to myself that I wanted to try it someday and cross the sea, and my wish came true!! Thank you very much. The time spent on Yufujima flew by, and the food was delicious! The timing was just right!! I'm glad I went, I'm glad I could go, it was the best☆

今回の旅行の目的は、
水牛車に乗ること。テレビ等で紹介される度にいつか乗ってみたい、海を渡りたい、とずっと思い続け、願いが叶いましたー！！
ありがとうございました。
由布島での時間もあっとゆー間、
ご飯も美味しかったです！
ちょうどいい時間配分でした！！
行ってよかった、行けてよかった、
最高でした☆

The driver was very nice, and I had a wonderful trip. They happily agreed to extend the time as well. I'm really glad I asked for their help.

運転手さんもとてもいい方で、楽しい旅が出来ました。時間延長も快く引き受けていただけました。こちらにお願いして本当によかったです。

We participated as a family of three with our 2-year-old son. The time at the aquarium was short, and we had to rush through it. Since the time at all the other locations was also limited, it might be better to cut out one of them. I felt that playing music on the bus towards the end of the tour was unnecessary. It was a cover song by an unknown artist, which woke up our child because it was too loud, and everyone else was sleeping, so silence would have been preferable.

2歳息子と夫婦の3人で参加しました。
水族館の時間が短くかなり急いで見て回りました。他にもまわる箇所全て時間が短かかったのでどれか削るほうがいいかもしれません。
ツアーの最後の方にバスの中で曲を流すのは要らないと思いました。知らない人のカバー曲で、子供はうるさくて起きるし、皆さん寝ていたので無音で良さそうでした。

Canoeing through the jungle was a lot of fun! The guidance from Gakki was very polite and cheerful, and it was really great. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

ジャングルの中を進んでいくカヌーはとても楽しかったです！
ガイドをしていただいたガッキーさんの教え方や対応が丁寧で明るくて、とても良かったです^ ^
また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

My first time in Ishigaki Island and my first time on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) was a wonderful experience thanks to my guide, Moepi! I learned not only how to ride the SUP but also interesting facts about the types of mangroves, corals, and various spots. The time was filled with various activities, including yoga on the SUP, making it very fulfilling! Moepi really energized the group, and I was able to connect with other participants, making it the best experience ever! I definitely want to come back to Ishigaki and do this again!

初めての石垣島、初めてのsupでしたが、ガイドのもえぴちゃんと一緒に楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！supの乗り方はもちろん、マングローブの種類や珊瑚、その他スポットでの豆知識と、sup上のヨガなどさまざまなコンテンツがあり非常に充実した時間を過ごせました！
もえぴちゃんが盛り上げてくれて他の参加者の方とも交流することができ、最高の体験ができました^_^
また必ず石垣に来て体験したいです！

This time, I rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island and saw fish through a glass-bottom boat. ✨

While riding the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed listening to island songs and had a very peaceful time.

I also had fun renting a bicycle and going to the beach.

The stone walls of Taketomi were impressive.

The glass-bottom boat was a bit rocky due to the rough sea, so I think it's a good idea for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication before boarding.

I recommend this course for first-time visitors.

今回、竹富島で水牛車に乗ったり、グラスボートでお魚を見たりしました✨

水牛車に乗りながら、島歌を聞いたりとてものどかな時間を過ごせました

また、自転車を借りて海岸まで行ったり楽しめました

竹富の石を積上げた塀が、印象的でした。

グラスボートは、海が少し荒れていてだいぶ船が揺れて、船酔いしそうな人は、酔い止めを飲んで乗ると良いと思います。

初めて行く人はおすすめのコースです

We brought our small children, but thanks to the warm support of the kind staff, we were able to take photos without being scared of the darkness! We were moved by the beautiful starry sky! We are talking as a family about wanting to come back every year. Thank you for sending the photos so quickly! We made the best memories!

小さい子供連れでしたが、優しいお兄さんの温かい対応のおかげで、暗闇も怖がらず撮影ができました！！美しい星空に感動しました！！毎年行きたいね、と家族で話しています。写真もすぐに送っていただきありがとうございました！！最高の思い出ができました！！

It was amazing. The cows were cute. Each of the guides (drivers) was very kind and explained everything, making for a fun day.

最高でした。
牛さんかわいかったです。
それぞれのガイドさん（運転手さん）もとっても親切に説明してくれて一日楽しく過ごせました。

I chose a bus tour because I'm not good at driving. I thought the tour price was reasonable since it included the admission fee for the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium.

We were able to visit various places in a short amount of time, and during the bus rides, the guide shared information about Okinawan culture and trivia, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing efficiently without wasting time. The time allocated for each location was well thought out; places that were good to see quickly had shorter visits, while those we wanted to explore more had longer visits. This balance allowed us to use our time meaningfully.

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium had a visit schedule that included time for meals, so we could stay longer. We were able to see all the tanks we were interested in, and we enjoyed the dolphin show as well. What I particularly liked was the café where we could enjoy the tank with the whale sharks up close. For a paid reserved seat (an additional 500 yen separate from the tour fee), we could leisurely watch the whale sharks and mantas for the full limit of 40 minutes. Since there were no interruptions, we were able to take various photos.

運転が得意ではないので、バスツアーを選びました。ツアーの代金に美ら海水族館の入館料も含まれていたので、リーズナブルな価格設定だと思いました。

短時間で色々な場所をまわれ、バスでの移動中もガイドさんが沖縄の文化や豆知識を教えてくれるので、時間の無駄なく効率的に観光できました。各箇所での見学時間の設定も、一通りみれば良いものは短め、ゆっくり見たいものは長めになっていました。メリハリがあったため、有意義に時間を使えました。

美ら海水族館は食事も含めた見学時間設定になっており、長く滞在できました。興味のある水槽は全部見ることができ、イルカショーも楽しめました。特に良かったのは、ジンベイザメがいる水槽をすぐ近くで楽しめるカフェです。有料指定席（ツアー代金とは別に500円必要）の制限時間（40分）いっぱい、ジンベイザメやマンタなどをゆっくりと眺められました。誰にも邪魔されないので、色々な写真も撮ることができました。

It was close to a full moon, so I focused more on photographing the moon rather than the stars. Thick clouds were covering the sky, and it was touch and go whether we could take photos, but we waited together for about 30 minutes until the clouds cleared, and I was able to get some great shots! I was able to take as many photos as I wanted. The photo data arrived the next day, and I was very satisfied with the results. I definitely want to experience this again for my travel memories next time!

満月に近づいている時だったので、星というよりは月をメインで撮影してもらいました。分厚い雲がかかってしまい、撮影できるかギリギリなところでしたが、雲流れていくまで30分程度も一緒に待っていただいたことで、無事写真をとってもらう事が出来ました！満足いくまで写真を撮っていただきました。写真のデータも次の日すぐに届き、出来上がりもとっても満足するものになりました。
次回もまた旅行の思い出に、体験したいと思います！

The weather wasn't great, but the waves weren't too high, and there were moments of sunshine, which was nice. The coffee shop on Hatoma Island had a great location, and I was able to relax comfortably. The tour guide, Iizuka, was kind and attentive, which was very good. We also encountered sea turtles, and at the end, we received a commemorative photo. I would like to use this service again. It was a great trip.

天候がイマイチでしたが、波も高くなく又時々晴れ間が出てくれたので良かったです。鳩間島のコーヒー屋さんもロケーションが良くて落ち着いて休憩出来ました。ツアーのガイド（イイヅカ）さんも親切丁寧で大変良かったです。ウミガメも遭遇出来ましたし、最後は記念の写真も頂けました。又利用したいと思います。
良い旅行になりました。

I can see why Ishigaki Island is the number one destination for island tourism. Although the mornings start early, we were able to efficiently explore the nearby islands.

We first visited Yubu Island, the mangroves of Iriomote Island, and Taketomi Island. I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun Yubu Island was, and unfortunately, the time flew by, making me wish we had more time there. The shops on the island open at 11 AM, but our meeting time was at 11:35 AM, so we had to rush to have lunch before then. If we had a bit more time, I would have loved to enjoy some gelato and take a photo with the water buffalo, creating another memory.

The water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island was wonderful. The water buffalo are so cute! I took a lot of pictures. Additionally, the person driving the water buffalo cart sang with a sanshin, which was a unique experience.

The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island involved riding a boat and listening to the guide's explanations. The weather was nice, and I was full from lunch, but unfortunately, I found myself getting quite sleepy. I think it might have been better to visit the mangroves first and then Yubu Island afterward (just my personal opinion).

For Taketomi Island, I chose to go cycling. I had visited before, and since I rode the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island, I was able to see most of the sightseeing spots. I took a break at a smoothie shop that was recommended to me. The weather was really nice, and I had a great time. However, since time was limited, I couldn't explore as thoroughly as I would have liked. Still, it was a bit busy, but it turned out to be a wonderful day visiting three islands!

石垣島の離島観光人気NO.1位なだけあります。
朝が早いのですが・・・とても効率よく、石垣島近隣の離島観光ができました。
最初に由布島観光・西表島のマングローブ、竹富島なのですが、由布島が思ったより楽しくてあっという間に集合時間となってしまったのがちょっと残念でした。滞在時間も短いということもあり。島内のお店と等開くのが11時からなのですが、集合時間が11時35分でそれまでにランチしないといけなくて11時以降がバタバタしてました。もう少し時間があればジェラートを食べたり唯一触れる水牛との写真を撮ってもう1つ思い出を作りたかったですね。
由布島までの移動手段の水牛車はとてもよかったです。水牛がかわいい♪たくさん写真を撮っちゃいました。また、またまた乗車した水牛車は水牛車乗りの人というんでしょうか？その方が三線で歌を歌ってくださり、貴重な体験でした。
西表島のマングローブツアーは、船に乗りガイドさんの説明を受けながら鑑賞だったのですが、天気も良くてお腹もいっぱいだったこともあり、申し訳ないことに眠気がピークに・・・。西表島のマングローブが先で後で由布島のほうがいいのではと思いました。（個人の勝手な感想です。）
竹富島はサイクリングにしました。以前にも観光に来たこともあり、水牛車は由布島で乗ったので。大体の観光名所を周ることができました。教えていただいたスムージー屋さんで一休みして。本当に天気が良くて、楽しかったです。ただ、やはり時間が限られているのであまりじっくりと観光できませんでしたが、1日で3島も巡れてちょっと忙しいところもありましたが、素敵な1日になりました！

Due to the conditions of the waves the day before, we were informed that it was possible to change to a half-day canoe and trekking tour (7,000 yen per person). After considering it, I got back to them. When I followed up, I was told that caving was also available, so I requested that tour, but there was no explanation about the pricing at that time, and after the tour, I was charged 12,000 yen per person. I had the understanding that it would be around 7,000 yen, so I would have appreciated a clear explanation if there was a change in the price.

Additionally, after being informed that we could not land on Barasu Island, I booked another tour company, and we were able to land on Barasu Island and go snorkeling.

The introduction to the creatures during the cave exploration and canoeing, as well as the information about Iriomote Island, was very interesting and enjoyable. However, on the day of the tour, there were many people, and I was unsure where to wait for photos in narrow spaces. While taking pictures as we progressed in the canoe, there were times when we got stuck and were bumped from behind, so I would have liked clearer instructions and guidance. I was told that the hotel pick-up time was 16:30, but we actually arrived around 17:15.

We waited for the shower for the same group going to the port, and after being taken to the port, we were then taken back to the hotel. Since I had other plans afterward, I would have appreciated it if the staff, who were numerous at the office, could have taken that into consideration in case of significant changes.

前日に波等の関係でバラス島へ上陸できない為、半日のカヌー&トレッキングツアー(1人7,000円)の変更は可能とのご連絡があり、一度検討し折り返しをいたしました。
折り返しした際、ケイビングもできるとのお話でそちらのツアーをお願いしましたがその際料金についての説明はなく、ツアー後1人12,000円を請求されました。7,000円程度実施できるとの認識だった為、料金変更が場合はしっかり説明頂きたかったです。
また、バラス島上陸できない旨の連絡があった後別のツアー会社を予約したところしバラス島への上陸、シュノーケリングの実施ができました。

洞窟探検、カヌー時に生き物の紹介や西表島の紹介をして頂けた点はとても面白く楽しかったですが、当日のツアーも人数が多く、狭い場所での写真撮影はどこで待ってたら良いのか、カヌーで進みながら写真を撮る際にに後ろがつっかえて後ろから突っ込まれたりとしたのでしっかり指示、案内をして頂きたかったのと、ホテル送迎時刻を16:30と伝えられていたが実際到着したのは17:15頃でした。
同じグループの港行きのシャワーを待ち、港に送迎後ホテルに送迎され、
その後の予定もあったので大幅に変更になる際は事務所に多数のスタッフもいた為、ご配慮頂けたら嬉しかったです。

I made a reservation about two days before the travel date, but I’m really glad I was able to participate under a perfect starry sky. I would like to join again when I come back to Miyako Island.

旅行日の2日前くらいに予約しての参加やったけど
満点の星空で本当に参加できて良かったです。
また宮古島に来たときゎ参加したいと思います。

I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience, but the person in charge was friendly and made the shoot very enjoyable. I hadn't thought much about poses, but they suggested some, which made the shooting go smoothly. The starry sky was also amazing! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

初めての体験だったので不安がありましたが、担当の方がフレンドリーに話しかけて下さりとても楽しく撮影ができました。ポーズは特に考えていなかったのですが、担当の方が提案して下さりスムーズに撮影することができました。星空も最高でした！楽しい思い出をありがとうございました！

Despite the sudden application, I was able to experience it. The duration is about 30 minutes, so I can recommend it to those with limited time.

The meeting place is a bit hard to find, so it might be better to check it out during the day.

急な申込みにも関わらず、体験することができました。
所要時間も30分程度で終わるので時間が限られている人にもオススメできます。

集合場所はわかりづらいので、日中に下見したほうが良いかも

I wanted to take photos both with two people and a solo version, and they kindly agreed to my requests. They took a lot of pictures and suggested poses that worked well, making it easy for me. They also carefully filmed multiple times to create a story for the video, and the finished photos were sent to me later. They were so beautiful that I was extremely satisfied. Thank you! 😊

2人でも撮りたいし、1人バージョンも取りたいとわがままを言ったところ快く引き受けてくださりました。沢山写真も撮って頂いて、ポーズもこういうのがいいんじゃないかなと言っていただいてやりやすかったです♡動画もストーリーができるように何回も丁寧に撮って頂いて完成した写真が後日送られてきたのですが綺麗すぎて大満足でした。ありがとうございます☺️

I was glad to visit many places in a limited time. I chose the dinner plan with Okinawan dance, and it was lucky that I arrived early and could see the first performance.

限られた時間で数多くの場所に行けて良かったです。沖縄舞踊付き夕食プランにしましたが早めに着き第一部から見られたのはラッキーでした。

Knowing that the next day would be clear, I made a last-minute reservation the night before the experience. Since it was a sudden decision, I didn't know any good spots to capture the beautiful starry sky, and I didn't have high-performance equipment, so I was really grateful for the help.

I arrived earlier than the meeting time and enjoyed the starry sky before capturing photos with the beautiful scenery. Every time I look at the photos, I can remember that view over and over again. I'm really glad I participated in the tour instead of just watching. Thank you very much!

For those taking a taxi, it seems that it's difficult to catch one at night, so I recommend arranging for your hotel to help you with that in advance, including for your return trip.

翌日が快晴と知って、体験前日の夜に急遽予約させて頂きました。
突然の思いつきだったので、星空を綺麗に撮影できる場所も知りませんでしたし、高性能な機材も持っていなかったので本当に助かりました。
集合時間より早めに到着し星空を満喫してから、美しい星空と一緒に写真に収めて頂けたので、写真を見る度に何度でもあの景色を思い出す事が出来ています。
ただ眺めるだけでなく、ツアーに参加させて頂いて本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました！

タクシーで参加される方は、夜間帯のタクシーは捕まりづらいようなので、余裕を持ってホテルにお願いしておき、帰りの分もその際に手配してもらうことをおすすめします。

Each time was well spent, and the quality of each individual experience was high. Overall, it's a plan that provides a great sense of satisfaction. It can be enjoyed by families as well as couples.

それぞれの時間もよく
一個ずつの質も高かった
トータルで満足感の高いプランです。
家族連れからカップルまで楽しめます

Thank you for beautifully capturing the Milky Way. You were kind and attentive. It was truly wonderful. Thank you very much.

天の川綺麗に撮影して頂きありがとうございました。
親切で丁寧でした。
本当によかったです。
ありがとうございました。

In a place so dark that I wouldn't normally go there at night unless on a tour, I got out of the car to find a sky full of stars, seeing a number of stars that I usually can't see. After moving a little, we talked about the stars while enjoying summer-like background music, and we were able to see the Milky Way without any clouds, creating the best memories. There was a surprising incident on the way back when we were attacked by a giant spider, but that too became an unforgettable memory.

ツアーでなければ夜に行くことはないような真っ暗な場所で車から降りるとすでに満天の星空で普段観る事の出来ない数の星を見ることができました。少し移動して夏らしいBGMの中星の話をしつつの撮影で雲もなく天の川まで見ることができて最高の思い出になりました。帰りの車で巨大な蜘蛛に襲われるハプニングはありましたがそれもまた忘れられない思い出です。
