All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

After visiting Ontake, we headed to the local area via the Niraikanai Bridge. In the valley, each group of about 20 people is accompanied by a facility guide who gives a lecture before we explore.

First, we received a lecture at a café that also serves as the meeting point, located in a large cave with numerous stalactites hanging down, which heightened our anticipation.

In the native forest of Okinawa, we were guided through caves, and on that day, excavation work was being conducted for the discovery of a prehistoric human, allowing us to hear a bit from the professor.

We took the same bus to Okinawa World, which had more visitors heading there. Both places were very interesting, and I wanted to visit both. However, since it was the day of my return home, I had limited time and got off at the airport.

御嶽に行った後、ニライカナイの橋を通って、現地に向かいます。
谷では２０名位ごとのグループに一人の施設のガイドがついて、レクチャー後に回って行きます。
まず、入口のレクチャーを受けるカフェ兼の集合場所が、いくつもの鍾乳石が垂れ下がる大きな洞窟で、期待感MAX。
沖縄の原生林の中、洞窟なども案内しれくれ、当日は、ここで見つかった原人の発掘作業もされており、教授のお話も少し聞くことができました。
隣接したおきなわワールドと同じバスで行きますので、ワールドに行く人数の方が多かったです。あちらも大変興味深く、両方とも行きたかったです。
帰宅日だったので、時間がなく、空港で下車しました。

The staff's warm and attentive hospitality was truly remarkable! They were considerate in every detail, yet it felt so natural. While this may be a daily occurrence for the staff, for me, it might only happen once in a lifetime… and I really enjoyed it! Of course, the snorkeling with the coral, sea turtles, and Nemo, etc., was explained thoroughly, and I received valuable information that created precious memories. I am sincerely grateful. I highly recommend this experience.

スタッフの方々の細やかなあったかぁ〜いおもてなし！すべてに気遣いされていてしかもさりげなく！
スタッフの方には日常と思いますが、私には一生に何回もない…一回かも…なんですがほんとうに楽しませていただきました！もちろん珊瑚のシュノーケリング、ウミガメ、ニモetc .説明してくださりデーターもいただき大切な思い出です。心から感謝申し上げます。絶対おすすめします。

I rode a water buffalo for the first time. It was a unique experience that I will remember for a lifetime. The bus driver also shared stories about the island's attractions, which was enjoyable. I got caught in a downpour, but it was still a good memory.

初めて水牛にのりました。
なかなかできない体験で一生の思い出です。バスの運転手さんが、島の観光話もしてくれて楽しかったです。
スコールに当たりましたがいい思い出です。

The weather was nice, and I was able to forget about my everyday life and enjoy myself. Everything was new for the children, making it a wonderful experience for them as well. The tour staff from pipi were very kind and cheerful, and I had a great time. Thank you to our guide Shogo and Kenken, who took care of us during the night tour the day before, for the wonderful time!

天気も良く、普段の日常を忘れて楽しめました。
子供たちにとっても全てが初めてのものばかりでとてもいい体験になりました。
pipiのツアースタッフの方もとても親切で明るく、楽しく過ごさせていただきました。
ガイドの省吾さん、前日のナイトツアーでお世話になったケンケンさん、素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

I chose this tour because I wanted to experience the water buffalo on Yubu Island. It would have been difficult to visit Iriomote Island and Yubu Island on my own, so I think choosing the tour was the right decision. The lunch, although included in the tour, was also very delicious.

由布島への水牛体験がしたくて、このツアーを選びました。西表島、由布島と、個人で行くには大変だったので、ツアーにして正解だったと思います。ランチも、ツアーについているとはいえとても美味しく頂きました。

Even someone at the edge of the age limit like me was able to swim with the sea turtles comfortably.

Yama-chan's thorough explanations, consideration for our well-being, and the importance of enjoying the experience were all wonderful. Hikaru-kun took many photos and introduced us to recommended spots in Miyako Island.

I am truly grateful to both of them. For those who have concerns about age or physical fitness, rest assured that there are careful explanations and supervision, so you will be fine.

Definitely give it a try!

年齢制限ギリギリの私でも安心してウミガメさんと泳げました
山ちゃんの丁寧な説明　体調への気配り　楽しむ心の大切さ　　
ヒカルくんの沢山の写真の撮影　宮古島のオススメスポットの紹介

本当にお二人には感謝しか無いです
年齢や体力に不安のある方でも丁寧な説明と見守りがあるので大丈夫です
是非チャレンジしましょう

This is my second time using Beltora, following Ishigaki. Just like last time, the staff took safety into consideration, allowing me to enjoy the activities with peace of mind. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, it was a fulfilling experience. The photos sent in the evening became great memories.

石垣に続き2度目のベルトラさんの利用です。
前回同様にスタッフの方々に安全を配慮してもらい、安心してアクティビティを楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメ見れませんでしたが充実した内容でした。当時夕方に送られて来た写真いい思い出になります。

I was able to efficiently tour the remote islands for the first time. As soon as we got off the boat, a bus was waiting for us, so there was no wasted time. The sightseeing time on the island was just right.

初めての離島巡りで効率よく観光できました。
船を降りれば移動のバスが待機しており、無駄な時間がなかったです。
島での観光時間も丁度良かったです。

It was my first time taking photos of the starry sky, and I was very moved by the breathtaking view of the stars! The advice on poses was also helpful, making it the best memory of Miyako Island! Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

星空フォトは初めてでしたが、満天の星空にとても感動しました！
ポーズのアドバイスもあり、宮古島最高の思い出になりました！
ありがとうございます。
機会があればまた参加したいです！

I participated with three friends for our first snorkeling experience. I was filled with anxiety, but thanks to our guide Yamachan's personality and attentive support, I was able to swim with peace of mind! And the sea turtles were incredibly cute and moving! It was completely different from seeing them in an aquarium!

シュノーケル初体験の３人で参加しました。不安だらけだったのですが、ガイドのやまちゃんのお人柄と丁寧な対応で、安心して泳ぐ事ができました！
そして、ウミガメ、めちゃくちゃ可愛くて感動！
水族館で見るのとは全く違う！って思いました。

We were considering traveling to Iriomote Island as a family, but since my elderly mother was with us, we decided to join a tour. The staff member who came to pick us up at the hotel had a wonderful smile that left a lasting impression, and I was moved to see that they also handled the boat operations. I'm sure all the staff are well-rounded individuals. They worked efficiently and responsibly. The explanations from the tour guide on the Nakama River were very easy to understand, and the time spent riding the water buffalo to Yubu Island calmed my usually restless heart. On the return boat, the splashes of water felt refreshing, making it a unique experience especially during the hot season. Thanks to participating in this tour, we were able to spend a happy time. Thank you very much. I would like to go to Ishigaki Island, Iriomote Island, and Yubu Island again on this tour.

西表島へは家族で行動しようと考えていたのですが、高齢の母が一緒だったこともありツアーに参加することにしました。ホテルまでお迎えに来てくださったスタッフの方の素敵な笑顔が印象的で、その方が船の業務もこなしているのを見て感動しました。きっとどのスタッフの方もオールラウンダーなのでしょう。テキパキと責任を持って働いていらっしゃいました。仲間川ではツアーガイドをされている方の説明も非常にわかりやすく、水牛に乗って由布島へ行く時間は日頃の荒ぶった心を穏やかにしてくれました。帰りのボートでは水飛沫がとても気持ちよく暑い時期だからこその体験が出来ました。このツアーに参加できたおかげで幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。またこのツアーで石垣島、西表島、由布島へ行きたいと思います。

In the morning, I enjoyed a relaxing stand-up paddleboarding session, and in the afternoon, I had a great time snorkeling in the cove. Both activities lasted about one to one and a half hours.

Although I had experience with both, I felt a bit anxious since it had been a while, but I received thorough instructions and was able to enjoy the experience. It was fine not to stand up on the paddleboard (I mostly sat), and if I felt uneasy while snorkeling, I could hold onto a float, so I think even beginners can enjoy it with confidence. The guides were very friendly and engaged in conversation, making the experience even more enjoyable.

午前中はのんびりSUP、午後は入江でシュノーケリングと1日ちょうどよく楽しめました。どちらも1時間〜1時間半ぐらいです。
どちらも経験はありましたが久しぶりだったので少し不安でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーを受け楽しく体験することができました。
SUPは無理に立たなくても大丈夫でしたし（私はほぼ座っていました）、シュノーケリングも不安ならフロートに捕まっていても問題なかったので、初めてでも安心して楽しめると思います。ガイドのみなさんもたくさん話しかけてくれるので楽しく会話しながら体験することができました。

This is my second time participating! I was very satisfied both times! I would like to request it again next year! Thank you for taking so many different shots!

2回目参加です！
2回ともすごく満足！
また来年もお願いしたいです！
いっぱいいろんなパターン撮って頂いて
ありがとうございました！

I have visited Okinawa several times, but for some reason, I haven't been able to go to the Churaumi Aquarium. I decided to take a tour this time. I also enjoyed the meal at Sam's.

何度か沖縄に来ていますが、美ら海水族館に、なぜかいけず。思い切ってツアーにしてみました。サムズのお食事も、楽しませていただきました。

The early morning sea was beautiful and refreshing! I even got to meet a sea turtle! Thank you, Yamachan!

早朝の海も綺麗で気持ちよかったです！
ウミガメにも会えました！
やまちゃん、ありがとうございましたー！

I participated with my 7-year-old grandchild. The hotel provided transportation, and I chose this tour because we could see the whale sharks, which I wanted to show my grandchild. Since we were joining from Naha, I thought we could leave by 19:10 after getting on at 8:20, so I made a reservation at the hotel restaurant for 19:30. However, we still hadn't arrived by 20:00, and I had to cancel the restaurant. I also struggled to decide where to have lunch, and since lunch was scheduled for 15:00 at Churaumi, I thought it would have been better to bring something to eat on the bus.

I think it was great to see a lot of things, but I felt that extra caution is needed when participating with small children. I also think that the fact that some people did not return by the departure time contributed to our late return. I believe that keeping to the schedule is an important part of tour etiquette.

7歳孫と参加しました。
ホテルに送迎があり、孫に見せたいジンベイザメが見られるというのでこのツアーにしました。
那覇からの参加だったので、8:20乗車で19:10には帰れるかと思い、ホテルのレストランを19:30に予約していましたが、20時になっても着かず、レストランはキャンセルしました。
昼食もどこで食べたらいいのか判断がつかず、美ら海で15時に昼食となったので、バス内で食べられるように持って行った方がよかったかと思いました。
盛りだくさんで、色々見られてよかったとは思いますが、小さい子を連れての参加には注意が必要だと思いました。
出発時刻までに戻って来ない人がいたことも帰りが遅くなった原因の一つかなと思いました。ツアーでは時刻を守ることも大事なマナーだと思います。

On our first trip to Miyako Island, we participated in a snorkeling tour as a couple. The sea at Shiraga Beach was incredibly clear, and we saw sea turtles and clownfish right in front of us! The guide was also very attentive, making us feel safe and allowing us to enjoy the experience. After the tour, we received beautiful photos as a gift, creating the best memories. I highly recommend it for beginners too!

初めての宮古島旅行でカップルでシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。シラガビーチの海は驚くほど透明で、ウミガメやクマノミがすぐ目の前に！ガイドさんも丁寧で安心して楽しめました。ツアー後には素敵な写真もプレゼントしてもらえて、最高の思い出になりました。初心者にもおすすめです！

Until now, I had been renting a car and driving myself. This time, I used a sightseeing taxi for the first time, and even though I had driven the same roads myself, I was able to enjoy the scenery around me since I wasn't driving. Also, the driver, Mr. Nakamura, was a wonderful person who efficiently took me to my desired spots within the time limit. I was able to make the most of my limited time. Mr. Nakamura, I hope to see you again! 🎵

今まではレンタカーを借りて
自分で運転していました。

廻って下さり。限られた時間で最大に楽しむ事が出来ました。中村さん、またお願いしますねー🎵

The aquarium was amazing, but the rest of the trip was a lot less interesting eg the pineapple farm

I finally visited the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. I had plenty of time and really enjoyed it. I was also able to visit Kouri Island along the way, making it a packed day, and the bus ride was comfortable too.

念願の美ら海水族館に行きました。
時間もたっぷりあり、楽しめました。途中古利島にも行けて盛りだくさんでバスの中も快適でした。

I have been to Ishigaki Island several times, but it was my first time visiting the Blue Cave!

After passing through a jungle surrounded by trees, a space like a private beach opened up, and we entered the sea from there.

We went out to the open sea through a trench, which was also quite interesting. I even got to see clownfish! 🐟

Just floating around is fun, so I recommend it even for beginners!

石垣島には何度か来たことがありましたが、青の洞窟は初めてでした！

木々に囲まれたジャングルを抜けるとプライベートビーチのような空間が広がっており、そこから海に入りました。

海溝を抜けて沖に出るんですが、その海溝がまた面白かったです。
クマノミにも会えました🐟

ただぼーーっと浮かんでいるだけでも楽しいので、初心者の方でもおすすめです！

I participated in a tour to explore the jungle. After about 30 minutes of being jostled in the car from the meeting point, it was magical to see the sunset gradually approaching.

The terrain in the jungle was more rugged than I expected, which made it feel like a real adventure, and I had a lot of fun! It was a jungle where I could feel the geography and history of Ishigaki Island, and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining!

When we emerged from the jungle, the ocean spread out before us, and the starry sky we all looked up at after turning off our lights was unforgettable. The sound of the waves and the star-filled sky were breathtaking, and I thought I would love to come back just to see this view again!

ジャングルの中を探検するツアーに参加。
合流から30分ほど車に揺られて移動しますが、だんだんと日が暮れていくのが幻想的でした。

ジャングル内は思ったより起伏が激しく、探検感満載でとても楽しかったです✨
石垣島の地形や歴史を感じるジャングルで、ガイドの方も知識豊富で楽しませてもらいました！

ジャングルを抜けると海が広がっており、みんなでいっせいにライトを消して見上げた星空は忘れられません。
波の音と満天の星空が広がっていて、この景色を見るためにまた来たいなと思いました！

I saw various sizes of coconut crabs. During the tour, the guests turned off their lights all at once and looked up at the sky filled with stars. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I was overwhelmed by the number of stars I had never seen before. The tour guide was also very good at storytelling, and there was always laughter throughout the tour. I'm really glad I participated!

大小様々なヤシガニを見たり。ツアー客で「いっせいのーせい」でライトを消し、顔を見上げるの空一面の星。
暗闇にだんだん目が慣れてくると見た事ない位の星が溢れていました。またツアーガイドさんも話し上手で常に笑いの絶えないツアーでした。本当に参加して良かったです！

This tour focuses on the stars and wildlife! We explored the jungle at night and went out to see the starry sky! That night, there were no clouds, and the stars were beautiful, and we also saw coconut crabs and purple land crabs! The guide's knowledge was amazing, and it was a lot of fun!

このツアーは星空と生物がメインのツアーです！夜のジャングルを歩いて探検してバーチに出て星空を見ます！その日は雲が無くて
星がとても綺麗でヤシガニやむらさきオカヤドカリもいました！ガイドさんの知識もすごくて楽しかったです！

It's perfect for summer memories! I was so happy to see the coconut crab! The stars were beautiful to see. If you come to Ishigaki, be sure to join a night tour.

夏の思い出にぴったりです！ヤシガニが見れて嬉しかったです！星がとても綺麗に見れてよかったです。石垣に来たらナイトツアーに

It was a more authentic night tour than I expected, and I had a great time. They also offered rental boots, so I could enjoy it hands-free. The weather was nice, and the stars were beautiful to see.

思ったよりも本格的なナイトツアーでとても楽しかったです。長靴のレンタルもあり手ぶらで楽しめました。天気が良くて星も綺麗に見れてよかったです。

It was my first snorkeling experience, and the safety measures were excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable, which made me feel secure participating in the tour! The fish and scenery were all amazing, and I would love to join again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

初シュノーケリングでしたが、安全対策もバッチリでガイドさんの知識も豊富で安心してツアーに参加することができました！
魚、景色全てが最高でまた石垣島に来た時には参加したいと思います！！

The weather was wonderful, and the stars were incredibly beautiful! I was able to see coconut crabs, and it was fun to see various plants on the way there and back! Additionally, the guide shared not only information about the tour but also recommended spots and interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, which made the experience even more enjoyable! I would love to participate again!

天気にも恵まれて星がとっても綺麗でした！ヤシガニが見れたり行き帰りも色んな植物が見れて楽しかったです！
また、ツアーの事だけでなく石垣島おすすめスポットや豆知識のような話をしてくださりより一層楽しむ事ができました！
また参加したいです！

I participated in a company trip with my senior colleagues, and it was a memorable experience. The path to the meeting place was dark, which made me really anxious, but once we arrived, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful starry sky that I had never seen before. The photos taken against that stunning starry backdrop were exceptionally wonderful and truly moving!

During the photo session, the appropriate prompts helped me feel relaxed and natural, so I could enjoy the moment without feeling tense.

I gave it four stars because the seating during the shoot was on a rock, which made my backside a bit sore. If I had received advice beforehand, I could have brought something to sit on. However, in terms of feelings, it’s definitely five stars. The starry sky was incredibly beautiful… it became a lifelong memory.

社員旅行の思い出に、職場の先輩と参加しました。
集合場所への道のりは暗くてすごく不安になりましたが、いざ着いてみると初めて目にする美しい満点の星空に圧倒されました。
そんな満点の星空を背景に撮っていただいた写真は、また格別にすばらしくて、感動しました！！

写真を撮る時は、適切な声掛けをしてもらったので緊張する事もなく自然体で撮っていただけました。

星4つにしたのは、撮影時に座る場所が岩の上でちょっとお尻が痛かったので、事前にアドバイスをいただけたらお尻の下に引く物を持ってこれたなぁと思って4にしました。でも気持ちの上では星5です。本当に綺麗な星空で…一生の思い出になりました。

As we progressed through the pitch-black jungle along the coastline with our guide, we encountered coconut crabs, unique tropical creatures and plants, and growing stalactites, which was thrilling. Since it was a new moon and clear skies, we were blessed with a stunning starry sky, making for a valuable experience. Before I knew it, I had walked over 10,000 steps.

ガイドさんについて真っ暗な海岸沿いのジャングルを進んで行くと、ヤシガニや熱帯ならではの生物や植物、成長途中の鍾乳石などに遭遇できて興奮。新月&晴れのタイミングだったので降るような星空にも恵まれ貴重な体験ができた。気がつけば1万歩以上歩いてました。
