All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

This was my first trip to Miyako Island. While planning various activities, I learned about a stargazing night photo tour and, after some research, ended up here. The reservation confirmation email mentioned a start time of 9:30 PM, but while talking with the staff, I found out that there were also tours at 1:00 AM, so I felt lucky to have this time slot. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, and since I didn't have any specific posing requests, I left it up to them to guide me on poses. It was a rare clear night, and since the moon hadn't risen yet, we were able to take photos under a stunning starry sky. I'm very satisfied with the beautiful pictures they took.

今回、初めての宮古島旅行でした。いろいろと計画をたてていく中で、星空ナイトフォトのツアーがあることを知り、いろいろと調べた結果こちらにたどり着きました。
予約完了メールで２１時半の案内だったのですが、スタッフさんと話していたら、２５時の方もおられるということだったので、この時間でラッキーでした。
スタッフさんも気さくに話してくれ、ポージングなども特に希望がなかったので、スタッフさんにおまかせしてポージング指示していただきました。
久しぶりの快晴で、月もまだ登っていなかったので、満点の星空の下で撮影していただくことができました。素敵な写真をとっていただき大満足です。

I signed up at the last minute the day before, but I was able to participate. I didn't see any large creatures, but I was able to see various animals like a habu snake, a coconut crab, and some larger hermit crabs. There were also firefly larvae, and I was able to see their light, so I really enjoyed it. I hope to see larger creatures next time. Above all, I was worried that it would be cloudy on the way there, but I was glad to see the beautiful starry sky.

前日に急遽申し込んだのだけど、参加できました。大きな生き物は見れなかったけど、ハブやヤシガニ、少し大きなヤドカリなどなど、色々な生き物を見ることができました。ホタルの幼虫も居て、光を見ることも出来ましたので、とても楽しむことができました。次はもっと大きな生き物が見れたら良いなと期待します。そしてなにより、行きは曇って見れるか心配だったのですが、星空も綺麗に見ることができてよかったです。

On the way there, the sky was cloudy, but by the time I arrived at the site, the clouds had cleared, and the stars were clearly visible. After watching for a while, my eyes adjusted, and I was able to see a really beautiful starry sky. It was moving. I also enjoyed seeing hermit crabs, coconut crabs, and a habu snake.

行きは曇り空でしたが、サイトに着いた頃には雲がいなくなって星がよく見えました。
しばらく見ていたら目も慣れて来てかなり綺麗な星空を見ることが出来ました。感動しました。
他にもヤドカリやヤシガニ、ハブも見れて楽しかったです。

I was really happy to experience the long-awaited stargazing photo shoot! I was nervous, but the photographer was kind and gave me guidance on which poses would look beautiful, so I was able to take great photos!

The shoot was originally canceled due to bad weather, but I was able to reschedule for the next day, and it turned out beautifully, so I’m really glad!

I made the best memories! Thank you so much! ☺️

念願の星空フォト撮影が体験できてすごく嬉しかったです！
緊張していたんですけど、カメラマンさんも優しく、どのポーズが綺麗に映るか指示して下さったのでいい写真が撮ることができました！

撮影当日は悪天候で中止だったんですけど、次の日に変更して頂けて、その日は綺麗に撮れたので本当によかったです！

最高のいい思い出ができました！
本当にありがとうございました☺️

The weather was nice, and the scenery was truly beautiful. Especially Kabira Bay. It was lovely from every angle. We also encountered sea turtles on the glass-bottom boat. We visited Cape Manzamo and saw wild boars, peacocks, and crowned eagles. I was very satisfied.

お天気もよく、ほんとうに景色が美しかったです。
特に川平湾。どこから見てもきれいでした。グラスボートでは海亀にも遭遇。御神崎もまわり、野生のイノシシ、孔雀、かんむりわしも見ました。大満足です。

Canoeing in the mangroves was very pleasant and allowed me to experience something out of the ordinary; it was fun. The day before, we were unable to land on Barasu Island due to rough seas, so we quickly switched to a tour of Yubu Island, which was also enjoyable as we leisurely explored while riding water buffalo, creating great memories. The guide was also very friendly and engaging, which was nice. I recommend bringing a change of pants and underwear, as your bottom and lower legs will get wet while canoeing. It was also great to be able to take a shower afterward. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

マングローブの中でのカヌーはとても気持ちが良く非日常感を味わえ楽しかったです。
前日にバラス島への上陸が波風の影響で出来なくなり急遽由布島観光のツアーに代替となりましたが水牛に乗ってゆっくり観光するのも楽しく良い思い出になりました。
ガイドの方も楽しくお話ししてくださる方で良かったです。
カヌーはお尻や膝下が濡れるのでズボンや下着の着替えを持って行くことをおすすめします。
カヌー後にシャワーを浴びれたのも良かったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

I participated hoping to see the starry sky, but I was glad to see the large coconut crabs moving in the darkness. While traveling, I was able to sit in the passenger seat, so I also got to see crabs and frogs crossing the night road, as well as owls perched on the power lines.

星空を期待して参加させて頂きましたが暗闇で動く大きなヤシガニを見えることが出来てよかったです。移動中は、助手席に座らせてもらっていたので夜道を横断するカニやカエル、電線に止まるフクロウも見ることが出来ました。

I was able to see various things like coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and fireflies, which was amazing! The stars were even more beautiful than I expected. Thank you very much!

ヤシガニもヤドカリもホタルも色々と見れて最高でした！
星も思った以上に綺麗で良かったです☆
ありがとうございました！

The starry sky was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to visit a place I usually can't go to. I was lucky to see the starry sky, plants I've never seen before, coconut crabs, and many other creatures. It was a very enjoyable and precious experience!

星空がすごく綺麗で、普段行けない場所に行けて星空や見たことない植物、ヤシガニや他の生き物もたくさん運良く見ることができてとても楽しく貴重な体験ができました！

It was my first time on Iriomote Island, and thanks to our tour guide Tacky, we had a fun day. My husband and I chose canoeing, but I think stand-up paddleboarding would be great for those with more stamina. They also took photos and sent them to us for free! Due to the weather, we couldn't go to Barasu Island, but it was nice that they suggested a combination with another tour the day before. Since there are no transportation options like taxis, they kindly stopped by a supermarket and recommended delicious restaurants before taking us back to the hotel, which was really helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour company when visiting Iriomote Island.

初めての西表島でしたが、ツアーガイドのタッキーのお陰で楽しく1日を過ごせました。
私達夫婦はカヌーにしましたが、体力がある方ならSUPもいいと思います。
写真も撮ってくれて無料で送ってくれます！
天候の関係でバラス島には行けませんでしたが、前日に他のツアーの組み合わせを提案して頂きよかったです。
タクシーなどの交通手段がない為、ホテルに戻る前にスーパーなども寄ってくれたり美味しいご飯のお店なども親切にしてもらえて本当に助かりました。
西表島に行く際はおすすめしたいツアー会社です。

In one day, I visited five tourist spots, and the duration of my stay at each was just right, making it fulfilling. Since I stayed at a designated hotel for pick-up and drop-off, it was convenient to participate.

一日で、5ヶ所も観光地を巡りましたが、滞在時間も程よくて充実していました。
送迎指定ホテルに宿泊して居ましたので便利に参加出来ました。

I was attended to by a kind staff member. They provide goggles and snorkels for rent, so as long as you have a swimsuit, you're good to go! I'm not very good at swimming, but the staff was nearby, which made me feel safe while swimming! I'm also grateful for the photos and videos they took. I definitely want to go again. Thank you!

優しいスタッフの方に担当していただきました。ゴーグルやシュノーケルなど無くても貸していただけるので、水着さえあれば大丈夫です✌泳ぎは得意ではないのですが、スタッフの方が近くにいてくれるので、安心して泳ぐことができました！写真や動画も撮っていただき感謝です。ぜひまた行きたいです。ありがとうございました！

Starry Sky & Jungle Tour.
On the day of participation, unfortunately, it was a cloudy sky, so we couldn't see the stars, but the experience of walking along the dark mountain path with just a flashlight was truly a jungle tour. Amid the echoing calls of owls, we encountered large coconut crabs, giant bats, and snakes, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim at the beautiful fireflies glowing in the night sky. With our knowledgeable guide, there was a sense of unity among the tour participants, and we had a very enjoyable time.

星空＆ジャングルツアー。
参加した当日は生憎の曇り空、星空を観ることはできませんでしたが真っ暗な山道を懐中電灯ひとつで進んでいく体験はまさにジャングルツアー。フクロウの鳴き声が響く中、大きなヤシガニや巨大コウモリ、蛇に遭遇、また夜空に光る美しい蛍には皆が声を上げてしまいました。物知りガイドさんの元、ツアー参加者の一体感もありとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I was taken care of by a polite and kind person. 😊 You can go hands-free since everything is provided for you, so there's no need to worry. They explained the precautions thoroughly, and even when underwater, they were close by, which made me feel safe while diving. I got to see many sea turtles that day, which was amazing! I was very satisfied that they even did drone photography. It was a tour I’m glad I booked!

丁寧で優しい方に担当して頂きました☺️
手ぶらで行っても全て貸して頂けるので大丈夫です
注意事項もしっかり説明してもらえ、海の中ではすぐ近くに居てもらえるので何かあっても安心して潜れました
この日は多くのウミガメに会え最高でした！！
ドローン撮影までして頂けて大満足です
頼んでよかったと思えるツアーでした

I was able to get a complete picture of Ishigaki Island by touring its main points. I had the optional glass-bottom boat ride at Kabira Bay, and I was lucky enough to encounter two green sea turtles and even saw Nemo, which was amazing. The lunch was just okay, though. Above all, I was able to ask the guide various questions about the curiosities I had during the trip, and all my mysteries were solved. Overall, I was very satisfied!

石垣島の主要ポイントを一周して、島の全体像を把握できました。オプションの川平湾グラスボート、運良くアオウミガメに二匹も遭遇しましたし、ニモも見れたしすごくよかったです。お昼のご飯はまぁまぁでしたw。なによりも、旅行中に感じた疑問をガイドさんに色々質問し、謎が解けました。全体に満足！

I participated in a night tour and mangrove SUP at Pipi, as well as a tour of Yubu Island!! ✨ Our guide, Ryusei, was kind and funny, providing detailed information about Iriomote Island along the way, which was really enlightening—there's so much you wouldn't know unless you join the tour! I'm really glad I did it! ♡

The night tour was amazing with so many creatures to see, and it had a completely different atmosphere compared to Iriomote Island during the day! (*^^*) I was super excited to see animals like coconut crabs, habu snakes, fireflies, and owls, which I’ve never seen on the mainland! (*^^*)

The next day's SUP was also wonderful, surrounded by impressive mangroves that felt like something out of a Studio Ghibli film. Ryusei kindly taught us how to paddle, so I was able to fully enjoy the mangroves while having fun on the SUP! ♡

Riding a water buffalo to cross to Yubu Island was thrilling, and seeing the plants and butterflies on Yubu Island was the best!

Even though I met the other participants for the first time, we all had a great time together, which is the charm of travel tours, right? ♡ It was so much fun!!! Thank you for the two wonderful days! ♡

pipiさんでナイトツアーとマングローブでSUP、由布島のツアーに参加しました！！✨
ガイドのりゅうせい君が優しくおもしろく
ガイドしてくれて、道中、西表島の事を詳しく教えてくださり、へぇ〜〜！！！
とためになり、ツアーに参加しないとわからない事がたくさんあるなぁ♡やって良かったと思いました♡

ナイトツアーは生き物がたくさん見れて
お昼間の西表島とは全然違う雰囲気があって楽しかったですー！！(*^^*)
ヤシガニ、ハブ、ホタル、フクロウなどなど本土では見たことない生き物ばっかりで大興奮でした！(*^^*)


翌日のSUPもジブリにでてきそうな迫力のあるマングローブで自然に癒やされ、
りゅうせい君が優しく乗り方も教えてくれたのでマングローブを満喫しながら
SUPも楽しめました♡


由布島も水牛に乗って渡るのがもうワクワクでしたし、由布島の植物や蝶など見れて最高でした！！

同じツアーの方々とも初対面なのにみんなでわいわいできるのが旅のツアーの醍醐味ですよね♡楽しかったです！！！
2日間ありがとうございました♡

I was informed in advance that it would be difficult to capture stars during the full moon period. On the day itself, there were even more clouds, and the photos didn't turn out as I had imagined, but the combination of clouds, the moon, and silhouettes created a mystical image.

I was glad to get one photo where the stars were visible at the end. They suggested that if the weather was good the next day, I could retake the photos, but unfortunately, I had to give up due to the weather.

I want to try again when I go to Miyako Island! Thank you very much.

満月の時期で星は写りにくいと、事前に連絡していだいていました。当日はさらに雲が多く、想像していたような写真ではありませんでしたが、雲と月とシルエットで幻想的な写真になっていました。
1枚ですが、最後に星が見える写真が撮れてよかったです。
次の日も天気がよければ撮り直しますよと提案してくださいましたが、あいにくの天候で断念しました。
また宮古島に行くときにはリベンジしたいです！
ありがとうございました。

I used this service on the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island. Since my departure was at 14:30, I was able to move from the airport without any hassle.

After arriving at Taketomi Island, I boarded a glass-bottom boat. I could see the beautiful seabed and coral reefs clearly.

After getting off the glass-bottom boat, we took a bus to the center of the island. We quickly received guidance for the water buffalo cart and boarded it. Although it wasn't a long time, it was a true Taketomi Island experience.

After getting off the water buffalo cart, I had a little time, so I toured the places I hadn't been able to see.

Overall, the guidance was smooth, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing even in a short time. I'm glad I participated.

In addition to being able to store my luggage at Ishigaki Port, I was also taken to my hotel at the end, which was very convenient.

石垣島到着日に利用しました。
14:30発だったので、空港からの移動も無理なくできました。

竹富島に到着後はグラスボートに乗船。
沖合の海底のようすやサンゴ礁がきれいに見えました。

グラスボートを降りると、バスで島の中心部へ。
すぐに水牛車の案内があり、乗り込みました。
それほど長い時間ではありませんでしたが、これぞ竹富島という体験ができました。

水牛車を降りた後は少し時間があったので、回り切れなかったところを観光しました。

全般的に案内がスムーズで、短時間でも十分観光できました。参加してよかったです。

石垣港で荷物を預かってもらえたほか、最後はホテルまで送ってもらって至れり尽くせりでした。

On the last day of my trip to Okinawa, I booked a half-day tour (to Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley).

It was a great way to learn about Okinawa's history (especially ancient history) and feel the sacred atmosphere, making it a perfect conclusion to my journey.

We put our luggage on the bus, and they dropped us off directly at the airport on the way back, which was very convenient.

As mentioned in other comments, there is quite a bit of walking involved, and some areas have gravel, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes.

沖縄旅行の最終日に、半日ツアー（斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷）を申し込みました。

沖縄の歴史（特に古代）を学べ、神聖な雰囲気を感じる事が出来て、旅の締めくくりに最適でした。

バスに荷物を入れ、帰りはそのまま空港で降ろしてもらえたので、とても楽チンでした。

他の人のコメントにもあるように、割と歩くし所々砂利だったりするので、歩きやすい靴が良いと思います。

I participated in Teru's tour!
I was very grateful that they worked hard to find coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and owls so that the participants could enjoy themselves.
It was also helpful that they flexibly changed the tour content because it was cloudy and we couldn't see the stars, and we were able to see four coconut crabs, which was what we were hoping for.
They provide detailed explanations about the ecology of living creatures and plants, so I recommend this tour for those visiting the island for the first time.

テルさんのツアーに参加しました！
参加者が楽しめるよう、ヤシガニやヤドカリ、フクロウを一生懸命探してくださりとてもありがたかったです
お目当てのヤシガニも4匹見れたのと、曇りで星が見えないからと柔軟にツアー内容を変更いただけたのも助かりました。
生き物や植物の生態について詳しく説明してくださるので、初めて島に来る方にもオススメです

Overall, it was good, but especially the guide for the tour of the Gangaala Valley was very impressive. I was satisfied with the tour, which became a memorable experience.

全体的に良かったが、特にガンガーラの谷のツアーのガイドさんが、とても印象的でした。
思い出になるツアーで満足しました。

I was helped by being taken to Ishigaki Airport on the way back. Kabira Bay was very nice, but Tamatorizaki Observatory was amazing! Since I was traveling alone, participating in this course was more reasonable than renting a car. Plus, I could enjoy some drinks.

帰りの石垣空港まで送ってくれるので、助かりました、川平湾も大変良かったですが、玉取崎展望台の方が、凄かった～。一人旅なので、レンタカー借りるより、このコースに参加したほうが、リーズナブルです。お酒も飲めますしね

I was able to experience many representative activities of Iriomote Island in a full day. It may not be suitable for those who lack physical stamina. I was amazed by the scale of the mangroves and the Pinaisara Falls. The explanations from the knowledgeable guide were also very good.

丸一日のアクティビティで、西表島の代表的なものをたくさん体験できました。
体力が無い人には向いていないかもしれません。
マングローブとピナイサーラの滝のスケールに驚かされました。
精通したガイドさんの解説もとても良かったです。

It was my first time trying SUP, but I was able to operate it safely by following the guide's instructions. As I got better at it, the fun increased, and standing up on the SUP allowed me to see a different view. It was also enjoyable to change my posture on the board, sitting down to take a break when I got tired. SUP offers a higher vantage point than kayaking, making it easier to see underwater and feel the wind, which was a great new experience. Practicing SUP for the first time in a windless mangrove cove was ideal.

We took our lunch break individually, but the guide provided various information about restaurants, and shared little tidbits about the island during our drives in the morning and afternoon, so we never got bored while moving around.

During the snorkeling in the afternoon, the guide paid close attention to the conditions and depth of the water while walking in the sea, which seemed to reassure those who were not confident swimmers or were a bit scared of the ocean. The highlights of the cave exploration, explanations of stalactites, fossils, and crystals were clear, and the guide also carefully explained the snorkeling equipment and precautions, allowing the itinerary to proceed smoothly and making for an enjoyable snorkeling experience. The weather was good, so the underwater scenery was beautiful, and we were able to see various types of fish, which was fantastic.

In addition to the fun activities, the guide took photos at key points throughout the day, so I didn't have to worry about not being able to take pictures during the water activities or about my camera malfunctioning. This allowed me to focus on having fun. I truly appreciated this photo service after the tour ended. I was also surprised that the photos were sent to me on the same day—very efficient!

The guide was energetic, kind, and attentive, which allowed me to enjoy the day with peace of mind.

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドさんのレクチャーに従い安全に操作することができました。
操作がうまくなるにつれて楽しさも増してきて、SUPに立ち上がるとまた違う景色が見え、疲れたら座って休憩したりとボードの上で姿勢を変えられるのも楽しいです。
SUPはカヤックよりも視点が高いので、水の中が良く見えたり風を感じやすくて、新しい良い経験になりました。
初めてのSUPの練習は風のないマングローブの入り江が最適ですね。

昼休憩は各自で取りましたが、ガイドさんが飲食店の情報もいろいろと教えてくれ、午前・午後ともに車の中で島のちょっとした情報を教えてくれたので、
移動中に退屈することもありませんでした。

午後のシュノーケルの時は、海を歩くときには足元の状況、深さなどの注意を細かくしてくれたので、泳ぎが苦手だったり海がちょっと怖いという人たちも安心して参加されたようでした。
洞窟散策での見どころ、鍾乳石や化石、水晶の説明などもわかりやすく、シュノーケリングの装備品や注意点についても丁寧に説明してくれたので、行程がスムーズに進み、楽しいシュノーケリングになりました。
天気も良かったので海の中も綺麗に見え、いろんな種類の魚も見られて言うことなしです。

アクティビティが楽しいこともさることながら、行程の要所要所でガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれるので、水遊びのアクティビティの時にどうしても写真が撮れなかったり、自分のカメラの故障などを心配をすることもなく、遊びに集中することができました。
この写真サービスの良さはツアーが終わってから改めてしみじみと感じました。
撮れた写真もその日のうちに送ってくれたのでそれにも驚きました。仕事が速い！

ガイドさんが元気・親切・丁寧でしたので、1日中安心して楽しむことができました。

Although there were only a few participants, it was a tour on a large sightseeing bus. Despite signs of a resurgence in COVID-19 cases in Okinawa, infection prevention measures were firmly in place. The bus guide did not cut corners even with the small group and provided interesting insights about Okinawa from various perspectives. Since Saijo-otaki is the site of the inauguration ceremony for the Shinkō Daikū, it reminded me of the drama "Tempest" that I had seen before. I learned from the local guide that the Valley of Gangala is a site of archaeological excavations of ancient people, making it a valuable location from an archaeological standpoint. We were blessed with good weather, and the trees were beautiful, so I was glad to participate.

参加者は少人数ながらも大型観光バスでのツアーでした。沖縄のコロナ感染者再拡大の兆しがみられる中、感染防止対策はしっかりとられていました。バスガイドさんは少人数の参加者でも手を抜くことなく、沖縄を色々な角度から紹介してお話してくれたので興味深かったです。斎場御嶽は聞得大君の就任式をした所ということで、以前ドラマで見たテンペストに思いを馳せました。ガンガラーの谷は古代人の発掘調査の地だと現地ガイドさんの説明があり、考古学的にも貴重な場所なのだということを知りました。天気に恵まれ、木々も美しく、参加して良かったです。

The morning pickup was a bit of a hassle, but the guide was kind and it was a lot of fun. I was satisfied with the tour in terms of content and cost performance. I was alone this time, but I want to come with my family next time!

朝のピックアップは若干面倒でしたが、ガイドさんも親切でとても楽しかったです。
内容的にも、コスパ的にも満足の行くツアーでした。
今回は一人でしたが、今度は家族で来たいです！

I participated with the goal of visiting the Churaumi Aquarium. I could have done without Pineapple Park and the Okashi Goten. I would have preferred to spend more time exploring Kouri Island.

美ら海水族館が目的で参加しました。
パイナップルパークとお菓子御殿は無くてもいいかも。
その分古宇利島の散策に時間をとってほしかったかな

Since it was after spring break, there were only four participants in the tour, and the compact seafood lunch was very filling. The small souvenirs were also great. The weather at Cape Henoko, the northernmost point, was excellent, and the scenery was stunning. At each destination, there were few people since it was before the holiday, allowing us to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace. Thank you to the guide (I forgot the name) for the many explanations.

春休み後なのでツアー参加者も4名とコンパクト海鮮ランチもボリュウム満点、小さなお土産も最高でした。
最北の辺戸岬も天気最高、景色も最高でした。
行く先々も連休前なので人も少なくてゆっくりと楽しめました。
ツアーを案内していただいた（名前忘れました）方、たくさんの説明ありがとうございました。

In the morning, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and in the afternoon, I went snorkeling! Both guides were very friendly, and I had a great time! Especially during snorkeling, I was able to see wild sea turtles and clownfish up close, which made me very satisfied! I was also grateful for the beautiful photos that were taken! I would love to request this again when I come back to Miyako Island! Thank you!

午前中にSUP、午後にシュノーケルをしました！どちらもガイドの方が非常に気さくで楽しむことができました！特にシュノーケルでは野生のウミガメやクマノミを直近で見られたので大満足です！また撮影いただいた写真がとても綺麗で有り難かったです！また宮古島に来る時はお願いしたいなと思いました！ありがとうございました！

The weather was wonderful, and the natural planetarium was visible across the night sky! As the moon gradually got smaller, the number of visible stars increased, creating a truly magical atmosphere. During the shoot, I was lucky enough to see shooting stars as well. I left all the poses up to them, but they provided various instructions, which was very helpful! The props were lovely too! I was so moved to receive the data the next day and see how beautiful the photos turned out. It's quite difficult to capture the night sky on my own, so this became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much!

天気に恵まれ、天然のプラネタリウムが夜空一面に見えました！月がだんだん小さくなるにつれ、見える星の数が増えていく様子はとても幻想的です。撮影中は、流れ星も見ることが出来てとてもラッキーでした。ポーズは全てお任せでしたが、色々と指示してくれたのでとても助かりました！小道具も素敵ですよ！データを翌日にお送りいただき、こんなに素敵な写真になるんだとただただ感動します。星空の写真は自分で撮ることはなかなか難しいので一生の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！
