All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The schedule was well-organized, allowing us to make effective use of our time. The weather wasn't great, but we enjoyed each island. Cycling on Taketomi Island was also nice. Each of the guides was very kind.

スケジュールがしっかりしており、時間を有効に使えました。天気はイマイチでしたが、それぞれの島ごとに、満喫できました。竹富島のサイクリングも良かったです。それぞれのガイドの方もとても親切でした。

Due to a record cold wave, unfortunately, we were unable to land on Baras Island, but a portion of the tour fee was refunded, and we received a thorough explanation during our reservation the day before.

The limestone cave was more authentic than I expected, with some areas so narrow that you almost have to crouch to get through, so those who want to avoid getting wet should be cautious.

It was my first time in a limestone cave, and I was glad to see sleeping bats and icicles up close. Experiencing true darkness was also a very valuable experience.

SUP while looking at the mangroves was fun as well.

What I appreciated the most was that, due to the timing of our return boat, I communicated my desired return time to the tour conductor at the meeting point, and they were very considerate, ensuring we were able to board the boat on time.

Thank you for providing so many enjoyable experiences.

記録的な寒波のため、残念ながらバラス島への上陸はできませんでしたが、そのぶんツアー代の一部が返金されましたし、前日の予約時にも丁寧にご説明いただきました。
鍾乳洞は思ったより本格的で、かなり狭くなってほぼしゃがみ込まないと通り抜けられないところがありますので、水に濡れたくない人は注意です。
はじめての鍾乳洞でしたが、寝ているコウモリがいたり、つららが落ちている様子を間近で見られてよかったです。また、真の暗闇を体感できて、大変貴重な経験になりました。
マングローブを横目に見ながらのSUPも楽しかったです。
何よりありがたかったのが、こちらの帰りの船の時間の都合で、絶対に帰りたい時間を当日の集合時にツアーコンダクターの方にお伝えしたところ、大変気にしていただき、無事に時間通りに船に乗ることができました。
いろいろと楽しい思いをさせて頂きましてありがとうございます。

I participated hoping to create memories for my child, but in the end, I enjoyed it even more. Every time I encountered unfamiliar plants and insects, I was reminded of the excitement I felt as a child when I desperately caught crayfish and pond snails. I had a very satisfying experience that I wouldn't normally feel in my daily life. Additionally, seeing the insects living their lives so earnestly made me feel that it was a good experience for my child as well. The purpose of this trip was to "see the most beautiful starry sky in Japan!" but the night safari seems to have become a more memorable experience. Of course, the starry sky was beautiful too! Thank you to our sunny guide. I truly made wonderful memories with my son!

子供の思い出作りになればと参加しましたが終わってみれば私のほうが楽しんでしまいました。見慣れない植物や虫たちに出会うたび子供の頃ザリガニとかタニシとか必死でとってた時のワクワクを思い出しました。
普段の生活では感じる事のないリアルな体験が出来て大変満足しています。
また、一生懸命に生きている虫たちの姿をみて子供にも良い経験になったと感じています。今回の旅行の目的は「日本一キレイな星空を見る事！」でしたが
ナイトサファリのほうが思い出深くなりそうです。もちろん星空もキレイでしたよ！　晴れ男のガイドさんありがとうございました。本当に息子との良い思い出が出来ました！！

I took the opportunity to participate since the period for whale sightings is limited. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication before boarding the boat and arrived at the whale watching point. While overlooking the vast ocean, we waited on the deck for the whales to appear, but whether they show up or not is a matter of luck. In a way, I think it was a valuable experience!

せっかくの機会だし、クジラが現れてくれる期間も決まってるとの事なので参加させて頂きました。
船酔いが心配だったので酔い止めを飲んで参加し、船に乗ってホエールウォッチングポイントへ到着。
大海原を見渡しながら、クジラの出現を甲板上で待つ訳ですが、現れる、見える、見えたは運次第です。
ある意味、貴重な体験をしたとも思います！

If you take a glass-bottom boat in the main Kawahira Bay, you will have very little time to enjoy the scenery, which was the only downside. Everything else was almost satisfactory.

メインの川平湾でグラスボートに乗ってしまうと、じっくり風景を楽しむ時間が非常に少なくなってしまい、その点だけがマイナスポイントでした。
その他はほぼ満足でした。

I was expecting a perfect starry sky, but it was cloudy and I couldn't see the stars, which was disappointing. You can't win against nature. However, I am very grateful for the guide's thoughtfulness. I want to try again.

満点の星空を期待してたが
曇り空で星空見れず残念でした。　自然には勝てない。
ただ、ガイドさんの気遣いに感謝感謝。
リベンジしたい。

I was able to see rare mangroves up close, cross the sea while being gently rocked by cute water buffalo, and learn about the unseen history and circumstances of the island through the guide's interesting and captivating stories. I was satisfied with everything.

珍しいマングローブを間近に見て、かわいい水牛に揺られて海を渡り、ガイドさんの面白く興味惹かれる話で目には映らない島の歴史や事情、今や思いをしりました。全てにおいて満足でした。

I think this is a great tour that allows you to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island. Fortunately, the weather was favorable, and I was able to fully enjoy Kabira Bay, which I had been looking forward to. If I had to be picky, it felt a bit rushed, and the return ended at the bus center, so I had to take a taxi back to my hotel, which was a bit inconvenient. (I wish they had made that clear in advance.)

石垣島の見どころを効率的に回れる良いツアーだと思います。幸い天候に恵まれ、楽しみにしていた川平湾も存分に楽しむことができました。欲を言うと、ちょっと慌ただしいのと、帰りがバスセンター着で、ホテルにはタクシーで帰らなければならないのが今一つでした。（その旨を明示しておいて欲しい。）

I had signed up for a tour with a rental car, but since I don't drive often, I was looking for a local tour and found this one that covers all the places I wanted to visit. We had plenty of time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and visited various spots, and it felt relatively relaxed. The admission fee is included, so I definitely think it's a great deal. Above all, it was great to efficiently visit the places I wanted to go.

レンタカー付きのツアーで申し込みしていましたが、あまり普段運転しないため現地ツアーを探していたところ行きたいところを網羅したこのツアーを見つけました。美ら海水族館でもたっぷり時間がとれ色々まわりましたが、割りとゆったりまわれたかなといった感じです。
入場料も込みなので絶対お得だと思います。
何より行きたい場所に効率良くまわれて良かったです。

Last time, I visited the Valley of Gangala on the same tour, so this time I visited Okinawa World. It was closed during my previous visit, but I found it to be a very flexible tour since it allows for a split between the two adjacent facilities.

I recommend focusing on specific activities, as visiting the Habitats Garden and participating in craft experiences can take up a lot of time.

Perhaps due to the low number of participants (10 people) during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were fewer bus pickup locations than announced in the itinerary, and we ended up finishing earlier than planned. I was unsure whether to have them drop me off at the airport when I signed up for the tour, but I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Naha after getting off at the north exit of the prefectural office until my flight departure time. I was very satisfied with how I could fully utilize my time.

The bus guide was different from the last time, but just like before, they were very enthusiastic! They even sang folk songs, making the ride and facility visits a very enjoyable and fulfilling half-day experience.

Thank you very much!

前回、同じツアーでガンガラーの谷を見学したので、今回はおきなわワールドを訪問しました。
その時はおきなわワールドが休日だったので無理でしたが、隣接しあう2施設を回る為に途中解散も可能とのことで、とても融通の利くツアーだと思いました。

おきなわワールド内のハブ園を見学したり、工芸体験等すると時間が足りなくなるので、目的を絞って参加されることをお勧めします。

コロナ禍で参加者が少なかったのか（10名）、バスの送迎場所が公表の旅程より少なくて済み、予定より早めの解散となりました。
ツアー申込時は空港まで送ってもらおうか悩みましたが、県庁北口で降りて飛行機出発時間まで那覇観光を楽しむことが出来ました。時間をフルに有効活用出来て大満足です。

バスのガイドさんは前回とは違う方でしたが、前回と同じく、サービス精神旺盛！！！民謡まで歌って下さり、乗車中も施設見学中も、お陰様でとっても楽しく充実した半日を過ごせました。

ありがとうございました！

It was a storm strong enough to cancel boats, but around 7:30 AM, I received a call from the staff confirming that the tour would proceed, and I was able to participate safely. The itinerary changed from the original plan to canoeing to the waterfall and trekking in the limestone caves. There was also a refund due to the course change. The staff were very kind and explained the names and characteristics of the plants in an easy-to-understand manner. By participating in the tour, I gained a better understanding of Iriomote Island. Although it was stormy outside, once we entered the mangroves, I didn't feel the wind at all; it was calm and enjoyable. The rain wasn't too bothersome either, but next time I want to visit during the dry season and try other courses.

船が欠航するほどの暴風でしたが、7時30分ごろにスタッフから催行の電話があり、無事ツアーに参加することができました。当初の予定から変わり、滝までのカヌーと鍾乳洞のトレッキングとなりました。コース変更に伴い返金もありました。スタッフの方もとても親切で、一つ一つ植物の名前や特徴をわかりやすく教えてくれました。ツアーに参加することで、西表島のことがよくわかるようになりました。また、外は暴風でしたが、マングローブの中に入ると全く風を感じず、穏やかで楽しむことができました。雨もそこまで気にならなかったですが、次は乾季にを訪れて、他のコースにも挑戦したいです。

It was a night tour with a light drizzle, but the tour guide was kind and attentive. I was able to spot bats and coconut crabs, making it a satisfying tour.

雨がぱらつくナイトツアーでしたが、ツアーガイドさんも優しく気が利いていて。コウモリやヤシガニも探すことができ満足するツアーでした。

We departed from Naha City around 9 AM to arrive at the sacred site of Sefa Utaki, which opens at 9 AM. It was impressive to visit this representative holy place of Okinawa, where national ceremonies were held during the Ryukyu Kingdom era. Upon entering Okinawa World, we first explored the limestone cave, Gyokusendo, located underground. It took us about 25 minutes to walk through at a leisurely pace. Above Gyokusendo, there is a theme park area that recreates the castle town of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which we spent the remaining time exploring. We had enough time at both sites. Since no one got off at Naha Airport, we arrived at Kencho-mae around 1 PM. It would be difficult to visit these two places in the southern region on your own in half a day, so we were able to enjoy an efficient sightseeing experience.

朝９時から入場できる斎場御嶽にあわせて那覇市内を出発して９時頃に到着しました。琉球王朝時代に国家的な祭事が行われてきた沖縄を代表する聖地で見ごたえがありました。おきなわワールドに入場してまず地下にある鍾乳洞の玉泉洞を見学しました。ゆっくり歩いて２５分くらいかかりました。玉泉洞の上がテーマパークになっていて琉球王国の城下町を再現されたエリアを残りの時間を使って見学しました。両見学地で時間が足りなくなることはなかったです。那覇空港で下車する人がいなかったので、１３時頃、県庁前に到着しました。半日で南部のこの２カ所を自力でまわるのは難しいので、効率の良い観光ができました。

The bus provided a thorough explanation, and I was able to enjoy the journey without getting bored, thanks to the trees and local dialect along the way. They also point out interesting sights and photo opportunities during the trip. Whether you're a first-timer or a repeat visitor, you can have a great time.

バスの中で丁寧な説明、道中木々や方言など退屈なく過ごせました。
移動中も見所わ撮影ポイントや教えてくれます。
初めてのかたやリピートの方でも楽しく過ごせます。

I was glad to be dropped off at the airport in the end. I think it would be good to include that on the last day. However, the only place I really enjoyed was Kabira Bay, so I have doubts about the significance of participating.

最後に空港で降ろしてもらえたのがよかった。最終日に組み込むとよいと思います。
ただ行ってよかったのは川平湾くらいなので参加する意義があるのかというと疑問でした。

A few years ago, I visited Daishi Forest and Cape Hedo, but this time I participated because the course changed a bit, including a stroll through the mangrove forest. The buns and cheese tarts we had along the way were also very delicious. The lunch was tasty, and I thought I might want to go eat there again. The Okinawa rail was cute, and I wished I could have watched it longer. I'm very grateful to the driver and the tour guide. Thank you very much.

数年前に大石林山と辺戸岬には行きましたが、今回は、マングローブの森散策など、コースが少し変わったので、参加しました。途中で頂いた饅頭やチーズタルトも非常に美味しい食べさせて頂きました。昼食も美味しくて、また、食べに行こうかと思いました。ヤンバルクイナも可愛くて、もっと長く観ていたかったです。運転手さん、添乗員さんにも感謝、感謝です。有り難うございました。

First of all, the tour content is wonderful. It's a bit different from other tours. We were also blessed with good weather. The combination of the audio guide and the tour guide was great. The interaction between the driver and the guide was entertaining as well.

As a piece of advice, when moving from the Churaumi Aquarium to other facilities, using the in-park bus can save time. I visited the Churaumi Aquarium, the botanical garden, and the cultural center.

If the restaurants are not crowded, having lunch on Kouri Island can save time.

Also, since we arrived in Naha City late, I think having dinner in Chatan is a good idea.

Overall, I really enjoyed it.

まず、企画内容が素晴らしい。他のツアーと、少し違います。そして、お天気に恵まれました。自動音声ガイドと、ツアーガイドさんの併用もいいとこ取りで良かったです。
運転手さんとガイドさんの掛け合いも、面白かった。
アドバイスとしては、美ら海水族館から他の施設に移動する際には、園内のバスを使うと時間短縮になります。私は、美ら海水族館、植物園、文化館と回りました。

お店が混んでいなければ、古宇利島でお昼を食べると時間の節約になります。

また、那覇市内に到着の時間が遅いので、北谷で晩ごはんを食べるのもいいと思います。

とにかく、楽しめました。

The round trip shuttle bus took just under 2 hours and was quite crowded... I was able to see a lot of wildlife.

行き帰りの合計2時間弱の送迎バスが
満員でかなり密でした…。
生き物はたくさん見られました。

Although it was a short time, I was able to enter the jungle and encounter snakes and coconut crabs! With a pen-shaped light in hand, I descended a simple slope in the jungle towards the sea. I think searching for coconut crabs while being guided by our guide about the plants and animals of Iriomote Island is a unique activity of the island. The baby gecko was incredibly cute! It was a pity that I couldn't see the stars since December is the rainy season, which tends to have many cloudy and rainy days.

短い時間ですが、ジャングルの中に入り込みヘビやヤシガニと遭遇できました！
ペン型ライトを持って、ジャングルの簡単な坂道を下りながら、海を目指します。ガイドさんに西表島の草木や動物について案内頂きながら皆んなでヤシガニを探すのは西表島ならではのアクティビティだと思います。ヤモリの赤ちゃんがとっても可愛かったです！
12月は雨季のため、曇りと雨が多いシーズンとの事で星が見えなかったのは残念でした。

First, we took a bus to the coast. I was half-expecting to see nocturnal animals, and it started with a welcome from a habu snake, followed by hermit crabs, crabs, and fireflies. This was just the beginning, as we also encountered giant bats and even coconut crabs. The guide discovered a particularly impressive giant coconut crab, which delighted everyone, especially the kids. Before we set off, they provided strong flashlights and insect repellent, and since the guide led the way, we felt safe even with the habu around.

Next, we went up to a hill overlooking Ishigaki Town. We were supposed to observe the starry sky here, but unfortunately, it was cloudy. Although we only got an introduction to the constellations in our imagination, we learned that Ishigaki makes efforts to reduce streetlights to enhance the visibility of the night sky, which made me want to visit again. From this spot, we could see the night view of Ishigaki City, making it easy to identify supermarkets and shopping districts.

On the way back to the city, we observed an owl that we heard calling from the hilltop sitting on a power line. During the bus ride, the guide shared various stories about Ishigaki, including their experiences living there, making the two hours enjoyable without a dull moment.

Even with a rental car, it takes courage to go out with kids at 8 PM, but with a tour, it's reassuring. Especially recommended for those with small children.

まずバスに乗って海岸へ。夜行動物がそんなに見れるかなと期待半ばでしたが、ハブのお迎えに始まり、ヤドカリ、カニ、ホタル、このあたりは序の口で、巨大なコウモリ、さらにヤシガニも登場しました。特にヤシガニは小さなのにつづき、迫力ある巨大サイズをガイドさんが発見し、一同大喜び。子どもにはたまらんでしょう。出発前に光の強い懐中電灯や虫除けスプレーを用意してくれていますし、ガイドさんが先導してくれるのでハブがいても安心です。
次に石垣の町を見下ろす丘の上へ。ここで星空観察のはずでしたが、残念ながら曇天。イメージだけの星座紹介ですが、石垣は夜空がきれいに見えるよう、街灯を極力減らす努力をしているなど、環境面の説明を受けると、もう一度来てみたいとの気持ちに。石垣市街地の夜景を一望できるので、スーパーや繁華街がよくわかります。
市街地へ戻ると途中は、丘の上で鳴き声を聞いたフクロウが、電線にいるのを観察。バス車内では、ガイドさんが在住経験含め、石垣のあれこれを語ってくれるので、飽きることのない2時間です。
レンタカーがあっても、夜8時から子連れで野外に出かけるのは勇気が必要ですが、ツアーなら安心です。ハブも出ますしね…。小さな子どもを連れた方々には特におすすめです。

It turned out to be a very enjoyable day. I was anxious about how things would go with the bad weather, but I was welcomed by the cute water buffaloes, creating wonderful memories. Since I could choose my own return boat time, after touring the village with the water buffaloes, I was able to rent a bicycle from the neighboring building and go to the beach and some nearby places. I recommend bringing a raincoat as it seems to rain a lot during this season. Even when it rained along the way, I had no problem riding the bicycle thanks to the raincoat. I would like to visit again on a sunny day.

とても楽しい一日になりました。
天候が悪い中どうなるかと不安でしたが、、
可愛い水牛さん達にに迎えられステキな思い出となりました。帰りの船の時間が自分で選べるため、水牛さんとの村観光の後、隣の建物て自転車を借りてビーチや少しはなれた場所まで行くことも出来ました。
いまの時期は雨が多いそうですので雨ガッパをお持ちになることをお勧めします。途中雨が降っても雨カッパのおかげで問題なく自転車に乗れました。
今度は晴れた日に又訪れたいです。

The tour guide and the local guide at the Gangala Valley were both very skilled at explaining, and I was very satisfied with the tour itself. However, someone else who participated in the same tour and booked through a different site was able to use other discounts and even had a free option included, so I felt like I missed out a lot. I will make sure to compare other sites more before making a reservation next time.

ツアーガイドも、ガンガラー谷の現地ガイドもすごく説明上手でツアー自体はとても満足でした。
しかし、同じツアーに参加していた別のサイトで予約した方は他の割引も使えており、さらに無料のオプションも付いていたので自分はすごく損をした感じでした。
もっと他のサイトも見比べて予約するようにします。

I researched various options to make the most of our last day. We found a half-day tour around Ishigaki Island. Our flight was at 14:50. The tour included a guide, lunch, and transportation to the airport. The guide's entertaining conversations and Okinawan folk songs made the experience enjoyable. We arrived at the airport by 13:30. It turned out to be the best final day.

最終日無駄なく過ごす為色々調べました。有りました。私達は14:50発のフライトでした。石垣島一周半日ツアー。ガイド、ランチ、空港まで・・ガイドのおじさんの楽しい会話、沖縄民謡、空港には13:30到着。
最高の最終日になりました。

The guide at the Valley of Gangala had a connection to Shizuoka, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was surprised that the bus on the day before and the day before that had WiFi, but the conductor from Toyo Bus sang Okinawan folk songs and performed a paper play, which was a lot of fun. I thought it was nice to have these traditional bus tours. The timing was perfect for returning to the city just as we got hungry after half a day!

ガンガラーの谷の、ガイドさんが静岡と縁があって、より楽しく参加できました。前々日と前日のバスがWiFi有リだったので、無しって！？思ったのですが、「東陽バス」のコンダクターさんが沖縄民謡を歌ってくれたり紙芝居をしてくれたり、楽しくて。こういった、昔ながらのバスツアーもイイなって思いました。半日でちょうどお腹がすくタイミングで、街中に戻る行程もイイですね！

You can take a tour around Ishigaki Island. It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was able to enjoy it in a short amount of time. The guide was a local, and their stories were interesting, so I never got bored. Lunch was included, and it featured small dishes that allowed us to taste a bit of the local cuisine, which was also tailored for tourists.

It was unfortunate that the weather was bad, but even with that, I had a great time. I recommend it for beginners.

石垣島を一周出来ます。初めての石垣島旅行でしたので、短い時間で楽しめました。ガイドさんは地元出身の方で、話も面白く、退屈しませんでした。昼食付きでしたが、昼食は、地元のものが少しずつ味わえる小鉢付きで、そちらも観光客向けでした。
天気が悪くて残念でしたが、それを差し引いても、楽しめました。ビギナーにはオススメです。

I have been to Okinawa about 20 times, but it was my first time visiting Kouri Island and Manza Beach. Personally, the time allocation was just right. (Pineapple Park might have been a bit long.) I felt reassured that hand sanitizer was available everywhere. It was great that they picked me up from the hotel I was staying at and dropped me off at my destination hotel on the way back. Staying at multiple hotels while being able to sightsee and travel was the best experience.

沖縄には20回程行っていますが、古宇利島、万座毛は初めてでした。
個人的に時間配分は丁度でした。
(パイナップルパークは少し長かったかも)
消毒液が至る所にあり安心しました。
宿泊してたホテルにてピックアップ、帰りは目的のホテルまで送ってくれたのが良かったです。
複数のホテルに泊まり、観光もできて移動も兼ねられたので最高でした。

We participated as a three-generation family. Thanks to the GO TO Travel program, it was quite a bargain. The only downside was the weather, which was mostly cloudy with light rain, but we had a satisfying five hours thanks to the male guide's clear and enjoyable talk. With live performances of the sanshin and singing, we really felt like we were in Ishigaki, and we were able to efficiently tour around Ishigaki.

親子３代で参加しました。GO TOトラベルのおかげで、だいぶお得でした。
お天気だけが残念で曇りと小雨がほとんどでしたが、男性ガイドさんのわかりやすく楽しいトークで満足な５時間でした。
三線の生演奏に生歌付きで、「石垣に来てる～」という実感もわき、効率よく石垣周遊ができました。

Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful time under the perfect starry sky. Also, our guide Diego's cheerful and friendly personality really enhanced the night tour. Thank you for the lovely time!

幸い天気に恵まれ、満点の星座の中、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
また、ガイドのジエゴさんの明るく気さくなキャラがナイトツアーを盛り上げてくれました。
素敵な時間をありがとうございます！

I went to Okinawa for the first time! Since I was scared to drive a rental car, I booked a hotel on Kokusai Street, which is easily accessible by the Yui Rail. But it was definitely the right choice to join this tour to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium! Plus, due to COVID-19 measures, the number of participants was smaller. We participated as a pair, but I had two seats to myself. The tour guide was kind, and the atmosphere felt very homey.

It was my first time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and three hours was enough to enjoy it. The Agu pork bowl I had at the restaurant was delicious! I also used the regional common coupon to buy a large whale shark plush toy for my child.

Although the travel time was long, the view of the beautiful ocean was enjoyable! I ended up sleeping soundly on the way back.

初めて沖縄に行きました！レンタカーは運転怖いので、ホテルをゆいレールでアクセスのいい国際通りで予約しました。でもやっぱり行きたい美ら海水族館はこのツアーで正解でした！しかも今はコロナ対策で人数も少なめ。2人で参加しましたが1人で2シート広々使いました。添乗員さんも優しくアットホームな感じのツアーでよかったです。
美ら海水族館初めてでしたが3時間で十分楽しめます。レストランで食べたアグー豚丼美味しかったです！地域共通クーポンも使って子供がデカいジンベイザメのぬいぐるみ買ってました。
移動時間も長かったですが、眺めも海が綺麗で楽しめました！帰りは爆睡ですが。

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was great, but I really enjoyed walking around the park. On Kouri Island, the souvenir shop staff provided many samples and recommended great souvenirs, which was wonderful.

海洋博公園は、美ら海水族館もよかったですが、公園内の散策がよかった。
古宇利島は、お土産屋さんの店員さんが、たくさんの試食と、お勧めのお土産を教えていただきよかった。
