All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

This was my first time using the service. Last time, I used a different bus company, but this time, I received detailed explanations about various sights, songs, and maps from the window. Since lunch was not included, the information about takeout options and places where we couldn't take meal breaks was very considerate, making for a fulfilling day of travel. Thank you to the guide!

初めて利用させて頂きました。
前回は別のバス会社で利用しましたが、今回は車窓からの色々な説明や歌、地図での説明や見所についての時間の説明など細かく教えて頂きました。
ランチはついていないため、テイクアウト情報や食事時間が取れない観光地など、気配りが凄く良くて一日中充実した旅行となりました。
ガイドさんありがとうございました。

This tour is great and convenient to see many of Okinawa's interesting points at once. It is really time-saving to have a bus (I think you will also end up saving money on trandportation). The guide speaks jamaonese, and even without understanding, I could tell she was great, because she was singing and acting the stories/info she was giving. I think the time managment was good, it was a lot of fun!

The dream island tour, with a mangrove cruise and the exquisite guidance of the water buffalo cart guide, along with an unexpectedly luxurious lunch on Yubu Island and a leisurely stroll on Taketomi Island, was truly moving and fulfilling, creating memories for a lifetime. I am also grateful to the local staff who supported the many activities.

憧れの島めぐりは、マングローブ遊覧、水牛車のガイドさんの絶妙な案内に加え、由布島での予想以上の豪華ランチ、竹富島でのゆっくり散歩で感激、満喫で、一生の思い出となりました。加えて盛りだくさんのアクティビティを支えた現地スタッフさんにも感謝です。

This bus tour is perfect for sightseeing on the island without a rental car. It also includes a delicious lunch. You can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

レンタカーの予約無しで島の観光をしたい時にはピッタリのバスツアーです。美味しいランチもついてます。帰りは空港でおろしてもらえます。

Thanks to the driver's arrangements, we were able to visit all the destinations. The driver's responsiveness and thoughtfulness made for a wonderful and comfortable trip.

運転手さんの采配で、すべての目的地を回ることができました。
運転手さんの対応や気遣いが、とても素晴らしく心地良い旅行になりました。

Iriomote Island is large, so we toured the island by sightseeing bus and traveled to Yubu Island by ox cart. During the ride, we enjoyed listening to the sanshin and songs, which made for an elegant moment. Additionally, since each ox has a different personality, there were explanations about that, making it a fun time. After that, we returned by ox cart, moved by bus, and took a boat to see the mangroves. The explanations were thorough, and I learned what kind of plants mangroves are. If you sit in the front, you might get splashed with water, so it might be a good idea to think about where to sit. It was a very good tour! 👍

西表島は、広いので観光バスで島内を観光し、由布島へは牛車で移動しました。移動中は、三線と唄が聴けて、優雅なひとときです。また、牛によって性格が違うので、その説明もあり、楽しい時間でした。その後、牛車で戻り、バスで移動し、船でマングローブを見学しました。説明も丁寧でマングローブがどういう植物かわかりました。前の方に座っていると水しぶきもかかったりしますので、座る場所を考えたほうが良いかもしれません。
とても良いツアーでした👍

I participated in the Sunrise Canoeing and Blue Cave Snorkeling. I was a bit anxious since I was going alone, but I had a great time chatting with the local staff and other tour participants! I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.

I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

サンライズカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
一人参加だったので不安でしたが現地スタッフの方を始め、他のツアーのお客さんとも仲良く会話しながら楽しく参加できました！
カヌーは二人用ボードに一人で乗りましたが操作は簡単で安定して漕ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングは泳げなくてもスタッフの方が浮きで引っ張ってくださるので最後まで怪我なく終えることができました。

次に沖縄に来た時もまたツアーに参加したいです！

An exhilarating jungle adventure!
It was a very satisfying tour where I could observe giant coconut crabs and various creatures in the jungle!
I would love to participate again when I come back to Ishigaki Island.

大迫力のジャングル探検！
巨大なヤシガニやジャングルの中の様々な生き物を観察することができとても満足なツアーでした！
また石垣島に来たら参加したいです。

The bus guide was very good, and in addition to the tour content, I learned various things about Okinawa, making for a rich travel experience. Both Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World were full of highlights, and the limestone caves and Eisa performances were particularly wonderful.

バスガイドさんがとても良く、ツアー内容の他に沖縄の様々なことを教えていただき、内容の濃い旅になった。
斎場御嶽、おきなわワールドともに見どころ満載で、鍾乳洞やエイサーショーは特に素晴らしかった。

The guide (Mr. Kiyuna) was easy to understand, and I was able to learn more about the current situation in Okinawa than what I see in newspapers and on TV. The driver was also kind, offering gentle words when getting on and off the bus, which made me happy. I usually don't use tourist buses when traveling, but I am grateful for this experience. I would like to visit Okinawa again! 😊

ガイドさん（喜友名様）のお話が分かりやすく、始めて訪れた沖縄の現状を新聞やテレビで見るより深く知ることができました。
運転手さんもバスの乗り降り時に優しく声をかけてくださり、嬉しかったです。旅行先で観光バスを利用しないのですが今回は乗せていただいて感謝しています。
また沖縄に行きたいと思っています😊

I walked through the jungle searching for creatures and enjoyed stargazing. Walking in the dark jungle at night was a bit scary, but it was fun to go with other groups and have a good time together. The night sky was filled with stars, with not a single cloud in sight. It was the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen, and I was very satisfied.

ジャングルの中を歩いて生き物を探すのと星空鑑賞を行いました。
夜に暗いジャングルの中を歩くのはすこし怖かったですが、他グループの方と一緒でワイワイしながら行けたので楽しかったです。
星空は雲ひとつない満天の星でした。
人生で一番綺麗な星空で大満足です。

It was my first time experiencing mangroves, and it felt strangely different from Japan. The narrow paths winding through the mangroves were very thrilling and exciting.

初めてのマングローブでしたが、日本ではないような不思議な感覚になりました。
マングローブの間を抜ける狭い道はとてもスリリングでワクワクするものでした。

I signed up for this tour thinking it was perfect since we would depart at 9:30 and be taken directly to the airport. The view of Kabira Bay was even more stunning than in the photos, and our guide skillfully shared the history of Ishigaki Island and famous landmarks while singing joyfully. Their beautiful singing almost brought me to tears. The driver was also very reassuring and provided excellent service. The lunch was delicious and healthy as well. I would love to visit again next time. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

9時30分出発、直接空港へ送ってもらえるのでちょうどイイツアーだなと思い申し込みました。
川平湾の景色は写真よりも絶景で石垣島の所々の歴史や、有名建造物など楽しく上手に歌を歌いながらガイドさんが案内してくれました。
素敵な歌声で涙が出そうになりました。そして運転手さんもとても安心できるドライバーさんで接客も素晴らしかったです。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく健康的なメニューでした。
また次回も訪れたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

I visited Kimpukyu and Futenmangu outside of Naha City. I had the same driver as last time, which made me feel at ease. I was glad to receive the goshuin from Asato Hachiman Shrine this time, as I couldn't get it during my previous visit. For lunch, I was taken to a local diner where the locals go. I toured Naminoue Shrine, the neighboring Gokokuji, and Shuri Castle in six hours. It's efficient to visit these places, so I highly recommend it.

那覇市外の金武宮、普天間宮巡りました。前回と同じドライバーさんで、安心して行けました。前回、安里八幡宮のご朱印がいただけなかったので、今回いただけてよかったです。お昼も地元の方が行く食堂に案内してもらいました。波の上宮、隣の護国寺、首里城巡って6時間でした。効率よく巡れるので、お勧めです。

The guided tour was very good. They provided information about photo spots and how to enjoy the experience after getting off the water buffalo, which was great. Thank you very much.

ガイド付きの案内がとてもよかったです。
写真スポットのことや水牛下車後の楽しみ方も教えてくださりよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

Every time I come to Okinawa, I participate in an aquarium tour, but this was my first time joining a tour that included Pineapple Park. It was quite an impressive park, and the weather was nice, so I really enjoyed it. There were plenty of sweets and souvenirs made with pineapple, which added to the tropical vibe. The guide shared fun stories the whole way there, so I wasn't bored on the bus. The cheerful and enjoyable bus guide made it a wonderful trip.

沖縄に来ると毎回水族館のツアーに参加していますが、パイナップルパークが組み込まれているツアー参加は今回が初でした。
なかなか見応えのあるパークで、天気もよかったので楽しめました。
パイナップルを使ったスイーツやお土産もたくさんあって南国気分をさらに味わえてよかったです。
ガイドさんも行きはずっと楽しいお話をしてくださって車内でも退屈しなかったです。
明るくて楽しいバスガイドさんでとても良い旅になりました。

The Valley of Gangala exceeded my expectations; it was wonderful. The guide's explanations were truly excellent, and I was very moved. The guide was also full of humor, which made it the best experience.

ガンガラーの谷が想像を遥かに超えて，良かったです。ガイドの方の説明も大変素晴らしく，とても感動しました。ガイドさん，ユーモアもたっぷりで，最高でした。

I was impressed by the mangroves surrounded by nature on Iriomote Island. After riding a water buffalo and enjoying a delicious lunch on Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo again and rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island. The guide who accompanied us while we were on the water buffalo was interesting to talk to and was skilled at playing the sanshin. The connections between destinations were a bit challenging to navigate on my own. It was a fulfilling day that went by in a flash. You might need a bit of physical stamina as well.

西表島にて大自然に囲まれたマングローブに感激。
由布島で水牛に乗り美味しいランチを終えて竹富島で水牛に乗る&レンタサイクル。
水牛になりながら案内してくれた方や話が面白く三線もお上手でした。
繋ぎな行き先案内が自分で動くので少し難しかったです。
あっという間の1日でしたが充実しました。
少し体力も必要かもしれません。

The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.

明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです！ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。

At the end of March 2023, I participated with my son and nephew. I was thrilled to see two long-awaited coconut crabs, which was one of the children's goals for this trip! We also spotted small scorpions, hermit crabs, and gobies.

The starry sky was cloudy when we were by the sea, but my nephew said it looked beautiful from the car window on the way back ^^ (I couldn't see much from my seat).

Our guide, Akari, was cheerful and fun to talk to. She provided detailed information about the creatures and plants, and also shared recommendations for restaurants while we were in the car, which made the experience very enjoyable. I was happy to receive photos as well, allowing me to look back and remember those moments.

In our daily lives, we are overwhelmed by too much information that comes to our eyes and ears, which can be exhausting and numbing. Experiencing nature like this, focusing our senses to search for creatures, feeling the wind, and touching various things allowed me to reset my five senses and enjoy a sharpened awareness! The sensations from that time still linger in my heart. I want to go again. Thank you!

25年3月末に息子と甥と3人で参加しました。
今回の旅の子供たちの目的でもある、念願のヤシガニが2匹も見られて感動しました！他にも小さいサソリや、ヤドカリ、ハゼも見られましたよ。
星空は、海辺にいるときは曇って見えなかったけど、甥は帰りの車の窓からとても綺麗に見えたそうです^^(私の座席側はあんまり見えなかった)

ガイドのアカリさんは明るくて、お話も楽しく、また生き物や植物のことも詳しく教えていただいたり、車の中ではおすすめの飲食店の情報もいただいたりしてとても楽しませていただきました。写真も送っていただけて、こうして見返して思い出せるのが嬉しいです。

普段の生活では、目や耳に勝手に入ってくる情報が多すぎて疲れ、それに麻痺していますよね。こんな風に大自然の中で目と耳を澄まして生き物を探したり、風を感じたり、いろいろな物に触ってみたり、という体験で、五感をリセットできて、研ぎ澄まされる感覚を味わえました！今でもその時の感覚がすごく心に残っています。
また、行きたいです。ありがとうございました！

It's very convenient as it efficiently takes you around the sightseeing spots on the island. You can enjoy it even without a rental car. The guide's explanations were very detailed and easy to understand, making it enjoyable. I think this local tour is especially recommended for older adults. The sightseeing bus was also large and very comfortable.

島内の観光名所を効率的に回ってくれるのでとても便利です。レンタカーが無くても、十分楽しめます。ガイドさんの説明も、とても詳細に分かりやすく楽しめました。年配者には特にお薦めの現地ツアーだと思います。観光バスも大きくてとても楽でした。

It was a fantastic tour! I learned a lot about the jungle and the starry sky; it was very informative. The guide spoke excellent English and explained everything clearly, so I felt comfortable throughout the experience. We were able to see a sky full of stars just like the one shown in the pictures I uploaded.

とても素晴らしいツアーでした！ガイドさんは英語がとても上手で、説明もわかりやすく安心して参加できました。
星が綺麗に見え、空も澄んでいてとても良かったです。

It was a packed tour from morning to evening, but the time allocation was just right, allowing us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The bus driver on Iriomote Island and the guide for the mangrove tour were both very kind.

朝から夕方まで盛りだくさんのツアーですが、過不足なく丁度いい時間配分で、ゆっくりと楽しめました。西表島のバスのドライバーさん、マングローブツアーのガイドさんもとても親切でした。

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.

Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.

Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

The jungle at midnight can be scary to visit alone, but going with a group completely eliminates that fear and satisfies your curiosity. If you want to go but feel it's dark and frightening, I highly recommend a group tour!

真夜中のジャングルは、一人で行くには怖いですが、団体だから行くと恐怖心は全くなく、好奇心を満たしてくれます。
行きたいけど、暗いし怖いしという方は、団体ツアーおすすめです！

Following my trip to Hawaii, I was also well taken care of during my time in Okinawa. The tour guide and the driver were kind and attentive. I traveled alone, but it was comfortable. It was a packed tour, so I highly recommend it for sightseeing in Okinawa. However, there were many overseas visitors, and the strong fragrance from the front row made it difficult for me throughout the day.

ハワイに続き、今回の沖縄でもお世話になりました。ツアー担当の方も運転手さんも親切で丁寧。一人旅で利用しましたが、快適でした。沢山詰め込んだツアーだったので大変沖縄観光ではオススメです。ただ、海外の方も多く、前列のフレグランスがきつくて、終日辛かった。

On the day of the tour, we were lucky to have great weather, and the sea was calm with high visibility. There were corals of various shapes and colors, a variety of fish, sea snakes, and even sea turtles. Unfortunately, due to the tides, Barasu Island remained a mirage. (laughs)

The guide was very attentive, providing advice and leading us to the points of interest, so I had no worries at all.

I was able to have a wonderful time. Thank you very much. I definitely want to request this again next time.

ツアー当日は運良く天気に恵まれ、海は穏やかで透明度も高かったです。色々な形や色のサンゴ、さまざまな魚、ウミヘビにウミガメもいました。ただあいにく潮の関係で、バラス島は幻の島のままで終わってしまいました。(笑)

ガイドさんも丁寧にアドバイスしてポイントまで誘導してくださるので、何の心配もいりませんでした。

楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。ありがとうございました。
ぜひ次回もお願いしたいと思います。

I have fond memories of experiencing the water buffalo cart when I was a child, so this time I participated with my family. The tour itself was satisfactory with polite service from the ferry terminal, but the water buffalo cart, which I was looking forward to, was disappointing. Perhaps because our group was the largest (7 people), we were assigned to go last, even though we weren't the last to arrive. Additionally, since half of us, including my husband, were British, the guide hardly paid us any attention, and being at the back meant we could barely hear anything, which was quite disappointing.

水牛車は私が子どもの頃に体験して良い想い出に残っていたので、今回自分の家族と参加しました。ツアー自体はフェリー乗り場からご丁寧な対応で満足でしたが、楽しみにしていた水牛車は、私たちのグループが1番大人数(7人)だったせいか、最後に着いた訳では無いのに1番最後に回され、主人も含め半分イギリス人だったせいか、ガイドにも全く相手にされず、1番後ろだったのでほとんど雑音にしか聞こえずがっかりでした。

I received great help from our guide, Yuuri. Their service spirit was abundant and it was enjoyable. Thank you very much. It's a shame we couldn't see the sea turtles, but that's nature, so it can't be helped. If I have the chance to come to Miyako Island again, I would like to try again.

ガイドのユウリさんに大変お世話になりました。サービス精神が多めで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。ウミガメが見れなくて残念でしたが、これは自然のものなので仕方がないです。宮古島に来ることがあればまたチャレンジしたいです。

The strong winds made the waves high, which was a bit tense. The wind was cold, and it rained occasionally, making it a chilly day for this season. However, I was able to enjoy nature, which you can't experience in the city, and it was refreshing. I definitely want to participate again. Next time, I will be mindful of my actions to ensure good weather.

強風のため波が高くやや緊張しました。風が冷たく時折雨が降るなどこの時季にしては寒い日となりました。しかしながら、都会では感じられない自然を満喫できリフレッシュしました。またぜひとも参加したいです。今度は好天になるよう普段からの行いに注意します。
