All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I chose this option because I was considering ways to get to the Churaumi Aquarium without renting a car, and it allowed me to visit other spots as well. The bus guide shared a lot of information about Okinawa, making the trip enjoyable!

Since it was a weekday, there weren't many crowds, and my companion and I had plenty of time to explore each spot smoothly. If you have children, it might be a bit hectic and challenging.

While it may be difficult to see everything at the Churaumi Aquarium, it was sufficient to see the main attractions!

美ら海水族館へレンタカー以外で行く方法を検討している中で、他のスポットも回れるこちらを選びました。バスガイドさんが沖縄のことを色々教えてくれて、旅行が楽しいものになりました！
平日だったので、どこもそこまで混雑してなく、大人2人でサクサクと観光できるくらいどのスポットも時間は十分でした。
お子さんがいるともしかしたら慌ただしくて大変かもしれません。
美ら海水族館は、すべてを回るのは難しいかもしれませんが、主要スポットを見るには十分でした！

It was said that summer is the best season because there are many living creatures, but I enjoyed it plenty even in the winter of February! Above all, the guide's wealth of knowledge and passion for the island came through in their talk, which was fantastic. I want to experience it in summer too!

夏が生き物がたくさんいてベストシーズンということでしたが、2月の冬でも十分楽しめました！！何よりガイドさんの知識の豊富さや島愛が伝わってくるトークが最高でした。
夏も体験したいです！

The tour guides kept us entertained with many fun stories during both the outbound and return trips, and I learned a lot of things I didn't know, making it an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy this time, so we couldn't see the starry sky, but I hope to see many stars next time I participate. The other highlight, the coconut crab, was diligently found by the tour guides, and we were able to take pictures together. Before going, I couldn't imagine what it would be like and was somewhat skeptical, but once I was taken to the site and went on the adventure, it was even more enjoyable than I had imagined, and I had a truly valuable experience. Thank you to all the staff.

ツアーの担当者の方々は、行きも帰りも車内の中で楽しい話をたくさんしてくださり、知らなかったこともたくさん聞けて最初から最後まで盛りだくさんに楽しませていただきました。
今回は、天気が曇りだったので残念ながら星空は観ることが出来ませんでしたが、次回参加した時には星空がたくさん観れたら嬉しいなと思っています。
もう一つの目玉のヤシガニはツアーの担当者の方々が一生懸命見つけてくださり一緒に写真を撮ることも出来ました。
行く前はどんな感じか想像もつかず半信半疑でしたが、実際に現地に連れて行ってもらい冒険をしてみたら想像以上に楽しく大変貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
スタッフの皆様、ありがとうございました。

I traveled around Yubu Island by bicycle. I had heard that the island is flat with few hills, but there was sand on the roads, causing the bicycle tires to sink in, and there were also some hills. I should have opted for an electric bike.

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote was led by a very good guide, so even though it was my second time, I was able to see it from a new perspective.

由布島での移動を自転車でしました、島自体が平で坂道が少ないと聞いていましたが、道に砂があり、自転車のタイヤがめり込んだり、坂道もあり、電動自転車にすれば良かった。
西表のﾏﾝｸﾞﾛｰﾌﾞｸﾙｰｽﾞは説明が上手な方だったので、2度目でしたが新しい視点で見れました。

It was a very fulfilling tour. I had a lot of fun experiencing things that would be difficult to arrange on my own. Although there were many participants, it was great that there was also free time for exploration.

非常に充実したツアーでした。個人では手配するのが難しい体験がツアーを通してたくさんできて楽しかったです。参加人数は多かったですが、自由散策の時間もあるため良かったです。

The weather was quite stormy with rain and wind for February 💦. However, I had such a fun time that I forgot about it 🥹💕. I experienced mangrove canoeing, where they carefully taught me how to operate the canoe, explained the plants, and I felt a sense of healing from nature, detoxifying both my mind and body 🫶🏼. For snorkeling, they chose a location less affected by the rain and wind, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience even for beginners 🐠. Thanks to that, I had a very enjoyable and fulfilling snorkeling experience, and I felt so happy ✨🤿. The staff who taught us were all very friendly and warm, making me want to come back again 😌✨.

天候は2月のため雨風が強い状況でした💦
でもそんなことを忘れるくらい楽しい時間を過ごせました🥹💕
マングローブカヌーを体験してカヌーの操作方法を丁寧に教えてくださったり、草木の説明や自然からの癒しを感じれて心も体もデトックスされました🫶🏼
シュノーケリングも雨風の影響を受けにくい場所を選び初心者の方でも安全に楽しめる場所を選んでくれました🐠
そのおかげでとても楽しく、充実したシュノーケリングを体験できて幸せでした✨🤿
教えてくださるスタッフの方が皆さんすごく気さくで温かくまた行きたいと思えました😌✨

During our 3-day, 2-night trip, we experienced snorkeling and SUP through Beltora! Miraculously, we were able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which was a very precious experience! Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so I want to take revenge on that next time I travel!

During the SUP in the mangroves, we were able to experience a mysterious world that we usually can't see. Also, the instructor took some great photos, which became wonderful memories.

I would like to rely on your services again next time!

2泊3日の中日にベルトラさん経由でシュノーケリングとSUPを体験させていただきました！シュノーケリングでは奇跡的にウミガメを見ることができ、とても貴重な体験ができました！天候が悪く、残念ながら青の洞窟には行けなかったので、また旅行に行った際にリベンジしたいです！
マングローブでのサップでは、普段見ることのできない不思議な世界を体験することができました。また、インストラクターの方が撮ってくれる写真がとても上手で、とてもいい思い出になりました。
次回いく際もお世話になりたいと思います！

This was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and I considered going to more remote islands on my own, but I became anxious about the possibility of not being able to secure a ferry reservation, especially given the recent over-tourism I’ve been experiencing in the area. So, I decided to join a tour.

As a result, I was able to efficiently visit three islands and get a glimpse of their charm. The guides were all unique and had their own styles, and they were very good at communicating, which made it a lot of fun.

I think I could have managed to visit each island on my own, but the tour included lunch and transportation with the guide, which felt like a great deal. I realized that starting with a guided tour to explore the highlights and then diving deeper into the places that interest me as a repeat visitor might be the best approach.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, so I was glad I opted for a bus tour instead of walking or biking around Taketomi Island. However, since we traveled by car to the sightseeing spots, the time spent on the island felt a bit short, and I wished I could have stayed longer. I didn’t have a chance to buy souvenirs except on Yubu Island.

The guide for the jungle cruise was positive, saying that even though it was raining, there were still good things about it, which I appreciated. When the guide expressed disappointment about the weather multiple times, I thought that the most disappointed people were the guests who traveled from afar, and I couldn’t help but think they should offer a discount (though not specifically for this tour).

初石垣島、自力でさらに離島に行くことも考えましたが船の予約が取れないこともあると見て、昨今のオーバーツーリズムを日々実感する地域から行くこともあって不安になりツアーに申し込むことに。
結果三島を効率よく巡って魅力の一端を感じることが出来ました。登場したガイドさんも三者三様で個性的で、皆さんお話がお上手でとても楽しかったです。
それぞれの島に行くだけなら自力でも行けたかなとは思いますが、昼食まで付いてガイドさんも送迎も付いてとてもお得感はあり、やはり最初は解説付きで巡って気になるところをリピーターとして深掘りするのが良いのかなと思いました。
あいにく曇り空に時々小雨といった天気だったので竹富島はフリー歩きや自転車にせずバスツアーにしておいて良かったなと思いますが、見どころ地点に車で行く分？時間が短いのでもう少し島内にいたかったなあとは思いました。由布島以外ではお土産を買うチャンスはありませんでした。
ジャングルクルーズのガイドさんは雨だけど逆に良いこともあると前向きに話して下さってありがたかったです。
ガイドさんに何度もお天気を残念がられると一番残念なのは遠方から来る客の方だしじゃあ値引きしてくれと思っちゃうので(こちらのツアーのことではないです)。

I was able to efficiently and comfortably visit the attractions and sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island. The bus guide and the driver were both friendly and kind.

石垣島の見どころや観光地等を、効率よく、安全・快適に巡ることができました。
バスガイドさんも、運転手の方も、感じよく親切に接してくれました。

In the morning, I participated in a stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) session, and in the afternoon, I joined a snorkeling experience. The day before had been rainy, but we were blessed with good weather on the day itself, allowing us to fully enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki.

During the mangrove SUP tour, we entered the mangroves and encountered various plants and creatures. The guide provided a lot of information about Ishigaki's natural environment, which was very educational.

On the snorkeling tour, I was thrilled to finally meet a sea turtle in the beautiful ocean and swim alongside it. It was an emotional experience.

My family of five had a completely satisfying experience, creating the best memories!

午前中はサップ、午後からはシュノーケル体験で参加しました。
前日までは雨続きでしたが、当日は天気にも恵まれ石垣の大自然を思う存分満喫できました。
マングローブサップツアーではマングローブの中に入って色々な植物や生物に出会い、ガイドさんも石垣の大自然の説明をたくさんしてくれてとても勉強になりました。
シュノーケルツアーではキレイな海の中で念願のウミガメに出会えて一緒に泳ぐことができて、感動でした。
家族5人大満足の体験ができていちばんの思い出ができました！

It was a fun three hours! During the drive, the guide shared a lot of interesting facts about Ishigaki Island, so I was never bored until the end. The tour itself can be affected by the weather and luck on the day, but this time we were fortunate to have clear skies and see a beautiful starry night.

楽しい3時間でした！車での移動時間もガイドさんが石垣島豆知識をたくさんお話してくれたので最後まで飽きることなくすごせました。ツアー自体は当日の天気と運に左右されますが、今回は運良く晴れて綺麗な星空をみることができました。

I was a bit anxious about traveling alone as a university student, but the guide was very kind, and I was fortunate to have great fellow tour participants, which made the tour enjoyable from start to finish.
In winter, the chance of seeing a coconut crab is said to be 30%, so I wasn't able to see one, but I was satisfied with the beautiful starry sky!
I learned a lot about the names of plants and insects, as well as the history of Okinawa, and the time flew by!
I would love to participate again in the summer!

大学生の一人旅で不安でしたが、ガイドさんが優しく接してくださり、他のツアー参加者にも恵まれて終始楽しくツアーに参加することができました。
冬場はヤシガニを見れる確率が30%らしく、見る事はできませんでしたが、綺麗な星空を見られたので満足です！！
植物や虫の名前、沖縄の歴史などをたくさん教えていただけてあっという間でした！
夏にもまた参加したいです！

The guide was very attentive, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling while taking breaks and checking on everyone's condition, which made me feel at ease! It was a great memory to see a sea turtle as well. 🥹

I also appreciated how the guide shared a lot of recommendations for shops and information about Ishigaki Island on the way to the sea!

I would love to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island! (＾_＾)✨

ガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくださり、要所要所で休憩や体調確認も挟みながらシュノーケルができたので安心して楽しめました！ウミガメも見れていい思い出になりました🥹

海に向かう途中におすすめのお店や石垣島の情報をたくさん喋ってくれるのもありがたかったです！

また石垣島に遊びに行った際は利用させていただきたいです（＾_＾）✨

I was able to take a photo with a sea turtle. It was cold and rainy, but I got to experience the beautiful sea of Miyako, which made me want to come back during the best season. However, it was a significant drawback that although I confirmed the meeting time as 10:30 AM through the voucher and a phone call the day before, it was set for 10:00 AM on the day itself.

ウミガメにもあえて一緒に写真とれました。雨で寒かったですが、宮古のきれいな海を体感することができ、次はベストシーズンに来たいと思わせてくれました。ただ、バウチャーや前日の電話で集合時間が10時半と確認したが、当日10時になっていたことが大きな減点です。

The weather wasn't great, but I was able to experience everything I wanted without getting caught in heavy rain, making it a satisfying trip. Since we were visiting various places in a day, it was more about seeing and experiencing different islands compactly rather than taking our time to explore. It was wonderful for that kind of travel. However, there were some inconsistencies in the instructions regarding the restrooms at the port, as they said not to go because it would be crowded, yet others were using them. Given that it was a busy trip, it would have been better if they had provided explanations in advance about where to find restrooms.

天気は良くありませんでしたが、大雨に降られることなく、コンパクトにみたいものが、体験したいことができ、満足の旅でした。日帰りで色んなところを回るので、じっくり色々見たいというよりは、コンパクトに色んな島を見てみたい、体験したいという旅としては素晴らしいです。トイレを港では、混むので行ってはいけないと言いながら、他の方は行っていたりと指示がチグハグなところがありましたので、忙しい旅であるが故に、トイレはどこで行っておく等、事前に説明をしてくれた方が良かったです。

I had a truly valuable experience kayaking in the real darkness and quiet after sunset. The darkness made the bioluminescent plankton look beautiful, as I could barely see a few meters ahead. In that peaceful space, the only sounds were the water splashing from the kayak and the calls of owls, allowing me to fully enjoy nature in a way that is not possible in the city.

They provided detailed explanations about constellations, mangroves, and paddling techniques, and the pace allowed us to really appreciate nature, which was great. Thank you very much.

It was cloudy, so I couldn't see the stars, giving it a star rating of -1, but I would like to try again next time.

日没後の本当の暗闇と静かさの中をカヤックする、とても貴重な経験ができました。暗闇は、目を凝らして数メートル先が見えるかどうかで、その分夜光虫が綺麗に見えました。静かな空間で、カヤックを漕ぐ水の音と、フクロウの声だけが聞こえ、普段都会では体験することのできない自然を満喫しました。
星座やマングローブ、漕ぎ方を詳しく解説してもらえますし、自然を満喫できるペースなのもとてもよかったです。ありがとうございました。
曇りで星が見えず星-1ですが、次回リベンジしたいと思います。

Had a blast with veltra . The aquarium and the lunch stop near the beautiful beach were the highlights! Guide was very nice too.

Unfortunately, the weather was such that we could only see one star, but we were able to enjoy the jungle night tour! It was fun to have a guide through the nighttime jungle, which I definitely couldn't have done on my own, and they explained about the plants and creatures of Ishigaki Island. On the way to the jungle, they also recommended some great dining options, which was very helpful. Thank you to our guides, Mii-chan and Gin-chan!

あいにくの天気で星は一つしか見えませんでしたが、ジャングルナイトツアーは楽しむことができました！
個人では絶対に行けない夜のジャングルをガイドして貰って、石垣島の植物や生き物について解説してくれて楽しかったです。
ジャングルまでの道中では、オススメの飲食店も教えてもらい助かりました。
ガイドのみいちゃん、ぎんちゃん、ありがとうございました。

The sightseeing bus tour is recommended because it efficiently takes you to the places you want to visit in one day. The highlight of this tour was the Churaumi Aquarium, where we stayed for two and a half hours. We arrived just before 1 PM and rushed to see the dolphin show at the Okichan Theater, but we were a bit late and ended up standing at the back. However, we were able to enjoy the fun show until the end. Since it was fully booked, if you want to sit, please arrive early. I had bought lunch at a convenience store in the morning, so I was able to take my time exploring the aquarium.

The impressive Elephant Rock at Manzamo and the beautiful blue sea and white sandy beach of Kouri Island were great, but I really liked Nago Pineapple Park. It's not very large, but after riding the Pineapple Bus around the park, there were a botanical garden and a dinosaur area. It was quite enjoyable. Next time, I want to bring my grandchildren along.

I would like to use your services again next time.

　観光バスツアーは、自分の行きたい所を1日で効率よく巡ってくれるのでおすすめです。
　今回のツアーのメインは、2時間半滞在の美ら海水族館。13時少し前に到着したので、オキちゃん劇場のイルカショーを観るのに走りましたが、少し遅れて一番後ろの立ち見で、最後まで楽しいショーを観ることができました。満席だったので、座って見たい方は早めに行ってくださいね。朝コンビニで昼食を買っていたので、水族館の見学はゆっくり見ることができました。
　迫力ある象さん岩の「万座毛」、青い海と白い砂浜の「古宇利島」も良かったのですが、私は「名護パイナップルパーク」が気に入ってしまいました。広くはありませんが、パイナップル号に乗って園内を周遊した後、植物園や恐竜エリアがありました。なかなか楽しかったです。次回は、孫達を連れてきたいと思いました。
　また次回もお世話になりたいです。

This time, due to the rain, the jungle tour was the main event, but in conclusion, I was very satisfied. The guide's talk was interesting, and they were also very knowledgeable, which made it enjoyable.

Next time, I definitely want to see the starry sky in the summer when it's clear.

今回は雨天のためジャングルツアーメインでしたが、結論大満足でした。
ガイドさんのトークもおもしろく、しかも知識も豊富で楽しめました。

ぜひ次は夏晴れている時星空も見たいです。

The tour guide provided us with a fun experience. Along the way, we saw creatures like eels, starfish, scorpions, and spiders. Unfortunately, it was cloudy that day, so we couldn't see the starry sky.

ツアーガイドは私たちに楽しい体験を提供してくれました。途中でウナギ、ヒトデ、サソリ、クモなどの生き物を見ました。残念ながらその日は曇っていて星空は見えませんでした。

I was able to efficiently visit three islands. I also enjoyed having a little bit of Okinawan cuisine for lunch, which was great.

効率よく3島行くことが出来ました。
お昼ご飯も沖縄料理を少しずつ食べることができたのでよかったです。

I joined the tour after my dad, who is around retirement age, decided to quit. Although we couldn't see the coconut crabs or the starry sky on this tour, it was surprisingly fun and a bit wild, and I was very satisfied. We explored the bushes and rocky areas, searching for animals.

At the beach, when we turned off the lights, experiencing the darkness that we usually can't feel was also a fun memory. Above all, the guide was great, explaining various things and even taking photos for us, making it a fun and quick tour.

I would like to participate again in the summer. I will try to find the starry sky again. Thank you to all the guides!

アラ還親父が辞めて参加しました。
今回のツアーでは、ヤシガニや星空を観ることは出来なかったのですが、思った以上に楽しくちょっとワイルドなツアーで大変満足しました。茂みや岩場を探索し動物達を探しました。
浜辺では灯りを消したところ、日頃体感できない暗闇を体感できたのも楽しい思い出です。
何よりもガイドのお姉さんが色々と説明くださり、写真も撮ってくれるなど、楽しくあっという間のツアーでした。
次回は夏場に参加したいと思いました。
満点の星空探しをリベンジします。
ガイドの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

I was taken to Yutsun Falls and more by a cheerful and bright guide.

It was a trekking day with light rain, but thanks to that, the waterfall's water volume increased, allowing us to enjoy a more powerful sight than we had imagined. I was a bit anxious after checking the weather forecast, but ultimately, I was very satisfied to see such a dynamic waterfall because of the rain! Above all, the guide ensured our safety, so I could walk with peace of mind.

Additionally, they provided shoes, raincoats, and waterproof backpacks, which allowed me to participate almost hands-free. I was grateful to enjoy trekking without worrying about equipment.

The journey took about two hours one way, but the guide shared a wealth of knowledge about the mountains and nature, as well as the island's lifestyle and culture, making the trip very enjoyable. It felt like we arrived at our destination in no time.

Since we had a bit of time left after the tour, we were able to stop by other attractions like Maya Rock Falls and Modama Pond on the way back. If it hadn't been a private tour, I think we would have only visited Yutsun Falls, so I’m really glad I made a special request.

The guide's tour concept was "a tour you won't forget in five or ten years," and that was absolutely true. The time we spent enjoying food and coffee at the summit became an unforgettable memory.

If I have the opportunity to visit Iriomote Island again, I would definitely like to request a tour!

笑顔で明るいガイドさんに、ユツンの滝＋αに連れて行ってもらいました。

当日は小雨が降る中のトレッキングでしたが、そのおかげで滝の水量が増し、想像以上の迫力ある姿を楽しむことができました。天気予報を見て少し不安もありましたが、結果的に雨のおかげでダイナミックな滝を見られて大満足！ 何よりガイドさんが安全に案内してくれたので、安心して歩くことができました。

また、靴やカッパ、防水リュックも用意していただいたので、ほぼ手ぶらで参加できたのもありがたかったです。装備の心配をすることなく、気軽にトレッキングを楽しめました。

片道約2時間の道のりでしたが、ガイドさんが山や自然の知識はもちろん、島の暮らしや文化についてもたくさん話してくださり、道中もとても楽しく、あっという間に目的地に到着した感覚でした。

また、ツアー終了まで少し時間があったため、帰り道にマヤロックの滝やモダマ池など、他の観光スポットにも立ち寄ることができました。プライベートツアーでなければユツンの滝だけで終わっていたと思うので、個別にお願いして本当に良かったです。

ガイドさんのツアーコンセプトは「5年後も10年後も忘れられないツアー」とのことでしたが、まさにその通り。特に頂上でゆっくりごはんやコーヒーを楽しんだ時間は、忘れられない思い出になりました。

また西表島を訪れる機会があれば、是非ツアーをお願いしたいと思います！

I particularly enjoyed the Churaumi Aquarium and American Village. Both places have large grounds, so I think I would have been more tired if I had been driving a rental car. It was nice to spend time on the bus while leisurely enjoying the scenery.

特に美ら海水族館、アメリカンビレッジを満喫できました。どちらの場所も広い敷地なのでレンタカーで運転していたらもっと疲れが出てたと思います。バス内はゆっくり景色を眺めながら過ごせたのが良かったです。

I participated in stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in February. During the paddleboarding, they provided a detailed explanation about the mangroves, which was interesting. In snorkeling, I was able to take pictures with turtles and pufferfish. I also got to see colorful fish. The water was clear and very beautiful.

２月にサップとシュノーケリングに参加しました。サップではマングローブの説明などを丁寧にしていただき、面白かったです。シュノーケリングではカメやフグと写真を撮れました。色とりどりな魚も見ることができました。海の中は澄んでいてとても綺麗でした。

I was impressed that the water buffalo on Yubu Island are considered family by the locals, and that they live in mutual trust. The village on Taketomi Island gave me a comforting impression of a good old Japan. It was a nice, leisurely day of sightseeing.

由布島の水牛は地元の方々にとって家族であり、お互いが信頼し合って生活していることに感銘を受けました。竹富島の集落は何かほっとできる昔の良き日本といった印象でした。のんびりした1日観光で、良かったです。

Initially, we planned to rent a car and visit the tourist spots, but it was the right choice to go with a bus tour. I am grateful to the guide for their accurate explanations and to the driver for considering safety while driving.

当初レンタカーを借りて観光地を回ろうとしたが、バスツアーにして正解でした。
ガイドさんの的確な説明、安全を考慮して運転してくださったドライバーさんに感謝しております。

By using the bus tour, I was able to travel from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium at a cost that was so affordable that I even received change back when considering transportation expenses.

バスツアーを使う事で、那覇から美ら海水族館に行く為の、移動費、交通費を考慮しても、お釣りが来るほどお得に旅行することが出来た。

I was honestly indifferent about riding a water buffalo by myself, but I ended up having a surprisingly fun and meaningful relaxing time. I was satisfied with the tour content and I'm glad I participated.

1人参加で、正直水牛に乗るのはどっちでもいいかな、、と考えていましたが、想像以上に楽しく有意義なまったり時間を過ごせました。ツアー内容も満足で、参加して良かったです。
