All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

Even on a half-day tour, it was just the right amount of sightseeing.
The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was wonderful.
The beautiful sea and coral reefs were stunning.
I was thrilled to see sea turtles.
The bus guide's sanshin performance was also fantastic.

半日コースでも、ちょうどいい感じで観光できました。
川平湾でのグラスボート。
綺麗な海にサンゴ礁。
海ガメにも会えて感激でした。
バスガイドさんの三線も最高でした。

The tour covered several highlights of Ishigaki Island in about five hours. Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather, allowing for great sightseeing. The sea was very beautiful. We took a glass-bottom boat with the operator, and since there was no wind, the waves were minimal, making it easy to enjoy the fish and coral. However, I couldn't take good photos because the reflections on the glass bottom made it difficult. It's best to just see it in person.

I thought the flowers were susuki (Japanese pampas grass), but the guide told us they were sugarcane flowers. Additionally, we learned some local dialects of Ishigaki Island, which made the sightseeing even more enjoyable.

石垣島の見どころを何か所か、5時間ほどで回るツアーでした。
幸い天気に恵まれて、良い観光が出来ました。
海はとても綺麗でした。OPのグラスボートに乗りましたが、風もなかったので、波も少なく綺麗に、魚や珊瑚を堪能できました。写真は底のガラスに反射した影が映るので、うまく撮影できませんでした。見るに限ります。
　ススキの花が咲いていると思いましたが、ガイドさんが「サトウキビの花だ」と教えてくださいました。その外にも石垣島の方言も教えて頂き、楽しく観光ができました。

We were able to efficiently visit various places, mainly the Churaumi Aquarium. I feel like we could make better use of our time compared to using a rental car. With the steak dinner plan, we got off the bus and enjoyed steak at Sam's Steakhouse. It was fun to watch the cooking performance right in front of us.

美ら海水族館メインに、効率よくいろいろ行けました。
レンタカーを使うより時間が有効に使える気がします。ステーキディナープランで、バスを降りてからステーキハウスサムズでステーキをいただきました。目の前で調理してくれパフォーマンスもあって楽しかったです。

The day I participated, the winds were strong and the waves were high, so there were cancellations to places like Iriomote Island, but Taketomi Island was operating. The water buffalo cart experience, with the driver's talk and the island songs played on the sanshin, allowed us to move slowly over a short distance, making it very soothing and giving us a real sense of the island.

I returned to Ishigaki on the 5 PM ferry, and time flew by. The rental bicycle shop is located alongside the water buffalo cart reception, so it's easy to enjoy cycling after the buffalo cart experience. The staff at the rental bicycle shop might seem a bit particular about their language, but they are nice once you start talking to them. This kind of distance feels unique to the island, and it even gave me a sense of being liberated from the rigidity of everyday life.

While I ended up talking about Taketomi Island, my schedule was stress-free. If I had to say anything, it's that time passes quickly, so next time I want to stay overnight and be healed by Taketomi Island.

参加日は風が強く波が高かったので、西表島などは欠航でしたが、竹富島は運航していました。
水牛車は運転手さんのトーク、三線を使った島唄、短い距離をゆーっくりと進むので島を感じることができ、非常に癒されます。
午後発の17時便で石垣に戻りましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。レンタサイクルのお店は水牛車の受付と併設しているので水牛車体験後もスムーズにサイクリングを楽しめます。レンタサイクルの店員さんは、言葉づかいが気になる人は気になりそうですが、話すといい人です。これくらいの距離感も島ならではかと、普段のガチガチの生活から解放されるような感じさえ受けました。
竹富島の話になってしまいましたが、スケジュールはストレスなく過ごせました。強いて言うならあっという間に時間が過ぎるので、今度は泊まりで来て竹富島に癒されたいです。

You can visit the attractions you want just by paying for the bus charter fee. Additionally, a guide accompanies you and provides thorough sightseeing information. It's basically a free activity, but it was a fulfilling tour. By the way, my recommendation this time is the limestone cave. I was completely unprepared for it, so the experience was even more moving.

バスのチャ−タ−代金だけで行きたかった観光ができます。また、ガイドさんが付ききちんと観光案内までしてくれます。基本自由行動ですが充実感たっぷりのツアーでした。そうそう私の今回のおすすめは鍾乳洞です。全く期待していなかっただけに感動もひとしおでした。

I wasn't confident in driving... but I wanted to go to the northern part! So I signed up for this tour. As a result, I truly feel that choosing this tour was a great decision, and I made wonderful memories.

I participated alone, but while listening to Okinawan music and the guide's announcements on the bus, we headed to our destination. Once there, I was able to explore freely within the designated time and interact with other participants at a comfortable distance.

The time allocation at each sightseeing spot and the travel time felt just right. I am grateful to the driver who safely took us around and to the guide who entertained us with a lovely smile and thoughtful attention.

I would like to use this service again when I come back to Okinawa. Thank you very much.

運転に自信がない…でも北部に行きたい！と思い こちらを申し込みました。
結果、このツアーを選んで良かったと心から思える素敵な思い出が出来ました。
ひとり参加でしたが、車内では沖縄の音楽やガイドアナウンスを聴きながら目的地まで向かい、現地では決められた時間内で自由に散策をし、程よい距離感で他の参加者の方達とも関わりが持てました。
各観光地の時間配分、乗車時間等のプランもちょうど良く感じました。
安全運転で各地を巡ってくれた運転手さん、素敵な笑顔と丁寧な気配りで楽しませてくださったガイドさんに感謝しています。
また沖縄に来る際には利用させて頂きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

This time, I booked a round-trip ferry from Ishigaki Island's ferry terminal to Taketomi Island, along with a glass-bottom boat tour, a bus tour around the island, and a water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island. The course was well organized, so it was great.

今回、竹富島観光するのに、石垣島離島ターミナルから竹富島までの往復フェリーと竹富島でのグラスボードと島内バス観光と水牛観光を予約しました。コースも段取りよく回れたので良かったです。

The time allocation for the course and the options were great. I would like to use it again when I come back. Thank you very much.

コースの時間配分、選択といいよかったです。また来たときは利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I’m from Thailand and took this tour with my friend on February 3rd, my chose this tour because we didn’t have a car and saw this tour online with good reviews. On the day we took the tour it started right on time with friendly staff and comfortable ride on the bus. Everything on the schedule was accurate, only negative part was guide not able to speak English but was very helpful to make us comfortable. We love the experience will definitely come back again with friends and family to take this tour again.

Not only did we get beautiful photos with the starry sky, but it was also amazing to see breathtaking star spots that only tour participants could know about.

星空との綺麗な写真を撮っていただいたのはもちろんのこと、ツアー参加者しか知り得ない絶景の星のスポットをみることができて最高でした。

It was so much fun! I'm glad I chose this tour. The service, the course, and the content were all great. Of course, you can easily visit Taketomi Island on your own, but the tour is definitely more efficient. I highly recommend it!

超楽しかった！
このツアーにしてよかったと思う。
対応もコースも内容も。
勿論、個人でも気軽に竹富島に行けるが、やはりツアーのほうが効率よく回ることができますね〜
オススメする！

We participated as a family of three (including a one-year-old child). I think it's easy to join since they pick you up from various hotels. The beach at Kouri Island was incredibly beautiful and left me in awe. However, there is limited free time, so we only had enough time to take some photos at the beach and look at a few souvenirs. Next time, I would like to visit Heart Rock and the tower as well.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time to explore at a leisurely pace, even with a child, and we were able to see the dolphin show. We also enjoyed visiting various major spots. Thank you!

家族3人（1歳の子供含む）で参加しました。いろんなホテルにお迎えに来てくれるので、参加しやすいと思います。古宇利島のビーチがとにかくキレイで感動しました。ただ自由時間が少ないのでビーチで写真を撮って、お土産を少し見るくらいしか時間がありません。次回はハートロックやタワーの方も行ってみたいです。
美ら海水族館は時間がたっぷりあるので、子連れでもゆっくり回れましたし、イルカのショーも見る事が出来ました。その他も主要スポットを色々回れて満喫出来ました。ありがとうございました！

I tried the glass-bottom boat recommended by the guide, and it was incredibly beautiful—what a surprise! Unfortunately, the weather was a bit cloudy, but the beauty of the underwater scenery was truly amazing. There was also a performance of the sanshin on the bus, making for a wonderful experience in Ishigaki Island!

ガイドさんオススメのグラスボード乗ってみたら、すんごくキレイでビックリ！
あいにくお天気は薄曇りでしたが、海中の美しさはとても素晴らしいかったです。
バスの中では三線の演奏もあり石垣島を満喫‼︎

The hotel provided a shuttle service, which was very convenient! The main purpose of my visit was to ride a water buffalo from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. The guide sang Okinawan songs on the sanshin, making it a dreamy escape from reality! On the last stop at Taketomi Island, we were also guided around the island by water buffalo, and I was very satisfied with the double water buffalo experience.

For the return boat, I could choose between the 4 PM and 5 PM departures on the spot, so after getting off the water buffalo, we decided to go to Kaiji Beach, which was also convenient and relaxed! If I could have applied for a rental bicycle right there, I might have been able to explore a bit more.

It was a very meaningful day!

ホテルへ送迎があり、とても楽チンでしたー！
訪問のメインの目的、水牛に乗って西表島から由布島まで行きました。ガイドさんは三線で沖縄の唄を歌ってくれて現実を離れうっとり‼️最後の竹富島でも水牛で島内を案内してくれてダブル水牛に大満足でした。
帰りの船は4時と5時の便を、その場で決められるので水牛下りてからカイジ浜まで行くことになったのでここも焦らず便利でした！レンタサイクルもその場で申し込めたらもう少し足を伸ばせたかな。
とっても有意義な1日でした！

I arrived at Seifa Utaki early in the morning before the entrance time, so it was great to be able to see it slowly without other tour guests around.

The guide's explanations were clear and kind. I bought the recommended Tannafakuru in Naha City! It was simple and delicious.

せーふぁーうたきには朝一番で入場時間前には到着していたので、
他のツアー客がいなくゆっくり見ることができて良かったです。

ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく親切でした。
ガイドさんのおすすめのタンナファクルーを那覇市内で購入しました！
素朴で美味しかったです。

I wasn't confident in driving, so I signed up for the tour. It was great to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. I wished for a bit more time at each location, but I understand that with so many places to visit, it's unavoidable. I had a lot of fun.

車の運転に自信がなかったのでツアーを申し込みました。
効率よく観光地を回れたのが良かったです。
それぞれの場所で滞在時間がもう少し欲しいと思いましたが、
これだけの場所を回るのだから仕方がないと納得です。
とっても楽しかったです。

I found that the round-trip ferry fare and the water buffalo cart tour to Taketomi Island can be quite expensive. However, this plan included those costs, allowing us to enjoy it at a reasonable price. We took the 1 PM ferry, and although we couldn't choose a morning option, Taketomi Island is relatively small, so a half-day tour was sufficient.

竹富島へは、往復の乗船料金や水牛車観光などを調べていると結構高くつくことが分かりました。
しかしながら、こちらのプランではそれらが含まれ、安価に楽しめました。
乗船は午後１時のプランで、午前は選択できなかったものの、竹富島は比較的狭い島で、半日観光で十分でした。

The stargazing and night safari tour was a nature-based experience, so it's understandable, but during the tour, we saw plenty of hermit crabs. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and we couldn't see the starry sky at the observation deck, which was disappointing. Next time, I want to see a sky full of stars on a clear day.

星空観賞とナイトサファリのツアーということで、自然相手のツアーなので仕方ないですが、ツアー中、ヤドカリはたくさん見れましたが、天気が曇で星空が展望台で全く見れなかったのが残念です。次は晴れた日に満天の星空を見たい。

I used the service on the afternoon of my arrival day. I took a flight that arrived at Ishigaki Airport at 12:30, and after quickly moving to the city and dropping off my luggage at the hotel, there wasn't much time before the meeting time, but I was glad I made it in time. This was my second time on Ishigaki Island, but my first visit was decades ago, and I remember using the regular sightseeing bus then as well. I recall visiting the Tomb of the Chinese and Kabira Bay, but the Tomb of the Chinese was under restoration during my first visit, so it was quite beautiful this time. It was also my first time riding a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. On the glass-bottom boat, I saw beautiful seas, coral reefs, colorful fish, and even sea turtles. Additionally, the shop we stopped by for tea time had a nice atmosphere, and I don't remember exploring the primeval forest before, so that was a new experience for me. I had a great time.

到着日の午後に利用しました。12時半に石垣空港に着く飛行機ですぐに市内に移動し、ホテルに荷物を預けたら集合時間まであまり時間がありませんでしたが、間に合ってよかったです。石垣島は2回目なのですが、1回目は何十年も前でその時も定期観光バスを利用したので、唐人墓と川平湾に行ったのは覚えていますが、唐人墓は前来た時は修復前だったので今回かなりきれいになっていたし、川平湾でグラスボートに乗ったのは初めてです。グラスボートでは、きれいな海にサンゴ礁、色とりどりの魚にウミガメも見れました。あと、ティータイムに立ち寄ったお店も雰囲気があったし、原生林?の散策も前はした覚えがないので、初体験でした。とても楽しかったです。

Although I was a bit anxious about the bus meeting point, it was easy to find. However, since many tour buses were arriving, I felt nervous until my bus showed up.

During the journey to our destination, the guide provided information about Okinawa and the destination, which enhanced my enjoyment.

We had to choose between the Valley of Gangala and Okinawa World, but since they are located in the same area, it would have been even better if we could visit both.

The Valley of Gangala has quite a high entrance fee, so compared to the cost and time of going individually, I think the tour bus is a great deal.

バス待ち合わせ場所に不安があったもののすぐわかる場所でした。
ただ、何台もツアーバスがやってくるので、自分のバスが到着するまでドキドキしました。

目的地に向かうまでの間、ガイドさんが沖縄について、目的地について、ガイドをしてくれたので、楽しみがより深められました。

ガンガラーの谷か、おきなわワールドか、どちらか選ぶのですが、場所が同じところにあるので両方行ければ、なおよかったです。

ガンガラーの谷は入場するのに結構費用もかかるので、個人で行く費用と時間に比べるとツアーバスはかなりお得だと思います。

The sightseeing tour in a clean, large bus was comfortable despite the low price, and the weather was clear. There were only a few participants, and both the driver and the guide were friendly, making the experience truly enjoyable. I am very satisfied. Thank you!

快晴の中、低料金にもかかわらずきれいな大型バスでの観光は、快適でした。参加人数も少なく、ドライバーさんもガイドさんもフレンドリーで、本当に気持ちよく観光できました。大満足です。ありがとうございました。

I was satisfied because it was cheap with the ferry and water buffalo! I was able to take pictures with the cows, and the guide sang a song, which was soothing! I really felt like I was in Ishigaki!

フェリーと水牛付きで安かったので満足です！牛と写真撮れたり、案内のお兄さんが歌を歌ってくれて癒されました！石垣に来たって感じがしました！

I thought there would be a larger number of people in one vehicle than I expected, but it was enjoyable and friendly, which was great. The staff were all very approachable and nice as well.

思っていたよりも一台に大人数かなと思いましたが、和気あいあいと楽しくて良かったです。
スタッフの方も皆さん気さくで良かったです。

It might be the season, but there were only half the number of people on the bus, so one person could use two seats, and the free time was set just right, which made me very satisfied.

時期が時期かもしれないけど、バスの半分しか人数いなくて、1人ふたつ席使えたり、自由時間の設定時間がちょうどよくて、大満足でした。

I wanted to explore freely on my own, and I recommend this for those who feel the same! I used a bicycle, and there weren't many steep hills, which made it essential for getting around. In the summer, it gets hot and you sweat, so staying hydrated is crucial.

一人で自由に周りたいと思って利用しましたが、そういった方にはおすすめです！自転車を利用しましたが急な坂も少なく回るには欠かせなかったです。夏は暑く汗をかくので水分はかかせませんね。

The weather was bad, so the points where you could see the beautiful scenery lacked impact. It's better not to have high expectations for lunch. It's a shame that there is only a round tour available in the morning. The guide's stories and songs were very good.

天気が悪かったので、せっかくの絶景が見られるポイントも感動がなく。
ランチは期待しない方が良いです。
午前発は一周ツアーしかないのが残念。
ガイドさんのお話や歌はとても良かったです。

I was able to efficiently visit three islands! I had no particular complaints and was able to enjoy myself! Since I could return to Ishigaki Island before 6 PM, I was able to relax and enjoy dinner and sightseeing in the evening. I think about five hours is enough for sightseeing in the downtown area of Ishigaki Island, including meals, so for those staying for two nights and three days, I believe it's worth spending a day visiting the outer islands!

３つの島を効率よくまわれました！
特に不満もなく、楽しむことができました！
6時前には石垣島に戻れるので、夜もゆっくりご飯や観光ができました。
石垣島の繁華街観光はご飯も含めて5時間ほどあればいいと思うので、2泊3日で行かれる方は1日使ってでも離島に行くのが楽しめると思います！

I decided to take a trip to Okinawa as a birthday present for my mother and signed up for a tour.

I thought the bus guide would talk to us along the way, but instead, we were given an audio guide to listen to together before reaching the tour locations, which felt very impersonal and not very interesting.

Also, why was the guide so condescending? From the moment we arrived at the meeting point, the attitude was really unpleasant. When picking up various people from different locations, there was no explanation, and we were just left waiting, circling around the city. Before I knew it, we hadn’t left Naha City for an hour after getting on the bus. Other tours had bathroom breaks along the way, but this one didn’t have any. I understand time constraints, but when we arrived at Pineapple Park, I wanted to use the restroom, but I was rushed onto the cart and ultimately couldn’t go until we reached the exit.

At other locations, we were told to keep to the schedule in a very strict manner, like a military drill. I had no intention of being late, but I believe there’s a way to communicate that.

I wanted to film while crossing the Kouri Bridge, but the guide’s poor performance on the sanshin and singing ruined it. Additionally, when I met the guide at the smoking area and was told “Thank you for your hard work,” it left a bad taste in my mouth.

The guide may do this every day, but we are participating in the tour to create memories. Especially since I planned this to make my mother happy, I couldn’t enjoy it at all. I truly regret spending money on this tour after having such an unpleasant experience.

The aquarium is also quite a distance from the bus parking lot, so even though they say we have three hours, considering the round trip, it’s more like two and a half hours.

At the very end, the guide mistakenly called out loudly for the drop-off location, which was very frustrating. I will try to avoid participating in tours with this company in the future.

母親の誕生日プレゼントで沖縄旅行へ行く事になり、ツアーに申し込みました。　

バスガイドの方が道中お話をしてくれると思っていたのですが、音声ガイドを渡されてツアーの場所に行く前にみんなで聞く為業務的であまり面白くはなかった。

そしてガイドの方はなぜあんなに高圧的なんでしょうか？
集合場所に行った時から本当に気分が悪い対応でした。
いろんな場所へいろんな方を迎えに行く際もなんの説明もなく、ただ待たされグルグル市内を回り気がついたら乗車してから1時間那覇市内から出ていなかったです。
他のツアーでは途中トイレ休憩があったりしましたが、こちらのツアーでは途中トイレ休憩もなかったです。
時間の関係もあると思いますが、パイナップルパークに着いた時トイレに行きたいと思ったのに急かされカートに乗せられ結局出口までトイレに行けなかったです。

その他の場所でも時間を守るよう軍隊のようにキツく言われ、遅れるつもりもないですが言い方はあると思いました。

古宇利橋を通る際に動画を撮りたいと思っていましたが、ガイドさんの下手くそな三線と歌で台無しです。
そして喫煙所でガイドの方と会った際に[お疲れ様です]と言われた事も気分が悪かったです。

ガイドさんは毎日のお仕事かもしれませんが、私達は思い出を作りにツアーに参加しています。
特に今回は母に喜んでもらおうと企画したのに心から楽しむことができませんでした。
こんなに不快な思いをしてこのツアーにお金を払ってしまった事に本当に後悔しました。


水族館もバスの駐車場から距離がありますので3時間と言いつつ往復の時間を考えると2時間30分くらいです。

最後の最後で降車場所をガイドさんに間違えられ大きな声で呼ばれましたが、本当にいい加減にして欲しかったです。
今後はなるべくこちらの会社のツアーには参加しないようにします。

Cycling around Taketomi Island for about 2 hours!
The flat roads made it easy to ride!
The sea was beautiful, creating the best memories!

約2時間竹富島をサイクリング！
平坦な道が多いので乗りやすかった！
海が綺麗で最高の思い出となった！

I saw Oishi Forest Mountain on TV, so it was a great help for me since I don't have a driver's license! If I had to say anything, I wish I could have stayed at Oishi Forest Mountain a little longer! I rushed to see the yellow course and the banyan tree, but it was just in time.

I was also satisfied with the Churaumi Aquarium, as I felt like I didn't have enough time! Since it's this time of year, I was a bit intimidated by the presence of Chinese tourists... but everyone is looking forward to it, right?

When I talked to my local friends, they said that this price for the content is incredibly cheap! I think so too. Thank you to the driver and the guide for the long time spent together! 😊

テレビで大石林山をしていたので免許がない私はとても助かりました！
しいて言うなら大石林山にもう少し長く居たいくらいです！私は黄色コース＋ガジュマルだけ見たくてダッシュしましたが、ギリギリでした。
ちゅら海水族館も私は時間が足りないくらいだったので満足です！
あとはこの時期なので中国人の方が居て怯んでしまいましたが。。みなさん楽しみにされていますもんね。
現地のお友達に話すとこの価格はこの内容ですごい安い！とのことでした。私もそう思います。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、長い時間ありがとうございました(^^)
