All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was satisfied with everything, including the prior arrangements.
Thanks to the information about the parking lot's congestion beforehand, I was able to park smoothly without any stress.
Even after the tour started, they kindly taught us how to use the equipment, allowing us to participate in the tour with peace of mind!
We were able to see many sea turtles, and they even helped us find spots that weren't crowded with people, which showed great consideration! They took a lot of photos for us, making it a very satisfying tour!
Thank you so much to Matsuura, who was in charge!

事前の対応等々全てにおいて満足でした。。
事前に駐車場の混雑具合なども教えていただいたことで、ストレスなくスムーズに駐車などもできました。
ツアー開始後も丁寧に道具の使い方などを教えていただき、安心してツアーに参加できました！
ウミガメにも沢山会うことができたのですが、
その中でも人が集まっていなそうなスポットを探してくださったりして、配慮も素晴らしかったです！写真も沢山撮ってくださり大満足なツアーでした！！
担当してくださった松浦さん、本当にありがとうございました！

On the first day of the holiday in Okinawa, where the maximum temperature exceeded 35 degrees, I was kindly guided along less congested routes to sightseeing spots and entrances. Despite the delay of my flight and the tight schedule, I appreciated the detailed explanations provided in the car at each location. I was very happy to experience the hospitality of Okinawa, a place I was unfamiliar with, and it made my trip enjoyable.

最高気温が35度を超える沖縄での連休初日
渋滞の道路を混まない道を選んで見学場所や入り口まで親切に案内していただきました^_^飛行機の到着が遅れ工程も押せ押せのなか一箇所ずつ丁寧に車中で説明も加えていただき助かりました^_^知らない沖縄で観光県のおもてなしにとても嬉しく旅行ができました

I participated in an island tour of Taketomi Island, Yufu Island, and Iriomote Island! I joined on the second day of a 2-night, 3-day trip, and it was great to experience various modes of transportation like the ferry, water buffalo cart, and bus. Due to the heat, I returned on an earlier ferry than planned during my free time on Taketomi Island. I underestimated the heat of Okinawa! Everyone should definitely take precautions against the heat! Thanks to the earlier return, I was able to relax at the hotel. While a whirlwind tour isn't bad, it was nice to take it easy for a change! Thank you to Kanade, the water buffalo!

竹富島、由布島、西表島の離島ツアーに参加しました!2泊3日の2日目に参加しましたがフェリー、水牛車、バスと色々乗り換えで変化があって良かったです。竹富島でのフリータイムが暑さのせいで予定より一本早いフェリーで帰りました。沖縄の暑さ舐めてましたよ!皆様も暑さ対策必須ですよ!フリータイム早めたお陰で滞在ホテルでゆっくり過ごせました。弾丸ツアーも悪く無いですがたまにはのんびりも良かったですよ！水牛のかなでちゃんお疲れ様でした。

I participated on the night of June 26, 2024. We formed groups of about ten people, with one guide assigned to each group. The guide was cheerful and created a fun atmosphere, making it a very enjoyable tour! Additionally, the guide had extensive knowledge not only about coconut crabs but also about insects and plants, making it a tour that both adults and children can enjoy!

As shown in the photos from the tour, we were able to see 2 to 3 large coconut crabs. I believe being able to see wild coconut crabs up close is one of the highlights of this tour. Furthermore, at the rest stop along the way, we were able to see a beautiful starry sky. It was a sky full of stars that you definitely can't see in the city, and my wife was very delighted!

Miyako Island offers plenty of ocean activities, but I highly recommend this night tour as well!

2024/6/26の夜に参加しました。
10人程度で1グループとなり、1グループに1人ガイドさんが付いてくださる形でした。
ガイドさんは明るく楽しい雰囲気でガイドしてくださり、とても楽しいツアーでした！
また、ヤシガニだけでなく昆虫や植物などの知識も豊富で、大人も子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います！
ツアーでは写真を載せている通り、大きなヤシガニを2〜3匹見ることができました。天然のヤシガニをあの距離で見れるのは、このツアーの醍醐味だと思います。
さらに、途中の休憩場所ではとても綺麗な星空を見ることができました。都会では絶対に見られないような満点の星空で、妻も大変喜んでいました！
宮古島では海のアクティビティが豊富ですが、このナイトツアーもとってもおすすめです！

The detailed explanations and consideration were very good. It was a bit disappointing that the starry sky wasn't great due to the half-moon on the day, but that couldn't be helped given the schedule. I'm grateful that even the elderly were able to comfortably take part.

細かな説明と配慮があり、とても良かったです。当日は半月で星空がイマイチだったのが残念でしたが、こればかりは日程上仕方なかったですね。高齢者でも気持ち良く引き受けて下さり感謝します

After a lecture on how to use the snorkeling goggles and taking photos on the beach, we swam for about two hours. In the first half, we swam at a spot where we could see sea turtles, and in the second half, we were taken to a spot with lots of fish. I was able to see sea turtles about 5 or 6 times, and there was even a moment when I saw four at once, which made me very happy! The moment when the sea turtles surfaced for air was especially cute.

I was worried about being able to swim after not snorkeling for 10 years, but the staff member Matsuura was very kind and taught me well, making it a really enjoyable experience! They also quickly sent the photos and recommended many shops.

Since I was floating for almost two hours, my back got really sunburned! I recommend reapplying sunscreen thoroughly just before getting in the water. Haha!

シュノーケルのゴーグルの使い方のレクチャーや浜辺での写真を撮っていただいた後、2時間ほど泳ぎました。
前半は海亀が見れるスポットで泳ぎ、後半は魚がたくさん見れるスポットへ連れていってくださりました。
海亀も5〜6回ほど見れ、同時に4匹見れる瞬間もあり大満足です！
海亀が呼吸のために海面から顔を出す瞬間が特に可愛かったです。
10年ぶりのシュノーケルで泳げるか不安でしたが、スタッフの松浦さんが丁寧に教えてくださり、とても楽しい経験となりました！
写真もすぐに送ってくださったり、おすすめのお店も沢山教えてくださりました。

2時間弱浮きっぱなしになるため、身体の背中側がめちゃくちゃに焼けました！
日焼け止めの塗り直しは直前に念入りにすることをおすすめします。笑

The weather was nice, so the scenery was beautiful and it felt great. Bathing in the waterfall basin was also refreshing. A rash guard and a hat are essential. It’s also better to have leggings. Eating rice balls while watching the waterfall is incredibly delicious. After exercising, Yufuin was relaxing and enjoyable.

天気が良かったので、景色もよく気持ちよかったです。滝壺での水浴びも気持ちいい。
ラッシュガード帽子は必須。スパッツもあった方がいいですね。
滝を見ながらのおにぎりも最高に美味しいです。
運動の後の由布島もゆったりで良かったです。

I made a reservation because I wanted to visit Yubu Island this time. The tour plan included all the highlights unique to the experience, and the bus ride to the water buffalo riding area was very enjoyable as the guide provided information about Iriomote Island and the scenery we could see along the way.

There was also a shuttle service to the hotel where we were staying, and we were able to return to Ishigaki Island by a little after 2 PM, making it the best plan that would be difficult to arrange on our own.

Next time I go island hopping in Okinawa, I would love to try other plans as well, as my whole family was very satisfied!

今回由布島に行きたかった為予約をしました。
ツアーならではの、見どころを余す事なく盛り込んであるプランで、水牛乗り場までのバスでも西表島の情報や見える景色の説明をガイドしていただけてとても楽しく移動できました。
宿泊予定のホテルに送迎もあって、14時過ぎには石垣島に戻って来ることが出来たので、個人手配では難しい最高のプランでした。

次回沖縄・離島巡りをする時には他のプランも利用してみたいと思えるほど、家族みんなが満足しています！

【Tour Guide and Meeting Place】
I waited at the meeting place, Kenmin Plaza, but the tour guide did not come to call us. There was a person who seemed to be from a tour company in front of the adjacent Diet Member Hall, but there were no placards or bus signs. Since various tour companies use Kenmin Plaza, I couldn't identify which one was ours and waited until the time. Then, I was called via phone, which made me feel uncomfortable. The guide should have come to call us in advance, asking, "Is anyone from XX Tour here?" Other companies were announcing their groups. I spent the day with a tour guide who offered no apology or smile.
【Oishi Forest Park】
There are four courses: red, yellow, blue, and green, but I was told I couldn't go to the green Gajumaru Forest course. I wanted to go there, but I gave up. I wish the tour details had been written more clearly.

【添乗員と集合場所】
集合場所の県民広場で待つも添乗員は呼びに来ず。
隣の議員会館前にプラカードもバスの表示も無いツアー会社らしき人物あり。
県民広場は様々なツアー会社が利用されてるので判別出来ず時間まで待つ。
すると電話で呼び出され気分が悪い。
本来の集合場所に事前に『〇〇ツアーの方はいませんか?』と呼びに来るべきだろう。
他の会社は声出しされていた。
お詫びも笑顔もない添乗員と1日過ごす。
【大石林山】
赤黄青緑の4コース有るが、緑のガジュマル森林コースに行けないと言われた。
そこに行きたかったのにと思いつつ諦める。
ツアー詳細に分かりやすく書いて欲しかった。

The attentive explanations made it very enjoyable, even for beginners! I would like to request Matsura again if there is another opportunity next time!

丁寧に説明からアテンドをしてくださり、初心者でも非常に楽しむことができました！！
次回も機会があれば松浦さんに頼みたいと思います！

I like aquariums and visit them occasionally, but that large tank was truly impressive. Other aquariums have manta rays, but the ones here were bigger. Since it was a bus tour, I wished I could have taken a bit more time to enjoy it.

水族館は好きで時々いきますが、あの大水槽は大迫力でした。他の水族館にもマンタはいますがここのは大きかった。バスツアーだったので、もう少しゆっきり見たかったと思いました。

I had always wanted to go at least once in my lifetime, so I was very satisfied that my wish came true. The sight of the colorful fish swimming, unique to the Churaumi Aquarium, was truly wonderful.

一生に一度は行きたいと思っていたので、念願が叶いとても満足しました。美ら海水族館ならではの、カラフルな魚たちが泳いでる姿はとても良かったです。

I received very polite service, including suggestions for poses and kindness towards small children.

ポーズのご提案をして頂いたり、小さい子どもにも優しくして頂きとても丁寧に対応していただきました。

The guide talked about war and military-related topics, and the atmosphere on the bus was quite dark, which dampened my excited mood. Overall, the course was busy but still somewhat enjoyable.

戦争や軍備関連のはなしをするガイドさんで、結構行きのバスの雰囲気は暗く、ワクワクしていた気分が落ち込んでしまった。
コース全体の内容は、忙しいけどまぁまぁ楽しめた。

The plan was just right, as expected, allowing us to visit three islands in the Yaeyama Islands. On Taketomi Island, it's quite hot, so staying hydrated and protecting against sunburn is essential.

八重山諸島３島も周れて予想通りのちょうどいいプランでした。
竹富島はかなり厚いので水分補給、日焼け対策は必須です。

This tour is very convenient and enjoyable, as it takes you around several sightseeing spots just by riding the bus from Naha City to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The tour guide was kind and very considerate, sharing information about Okinawa's history and culture that made for a great learning experience.

Although the schedule was a bit tight due to the packed itinerary, leaving little time for a leisurely lunch, it was still a very fun tour.

那覇市内から美ら海水族館を中心にバスに乗っているだけで、いくつかの観光スポットを回ってくれるので、とっても楽ちんで便利なツアーです。ツアーガイドさんは優しくとても気遣いのある方で、沖縄の文化や外の風景に合わせて沖縄の歴史などもバス内でお話ししてくださって勉強になります。

いろいろな箇所を詰め込んでくれているため、少しスケジュールがきつくゆっくりランチを取る余裕はありませんでしたが、とても楽しいツアーでした。

I received a confirmation and met at the designated location on the day of the tour. The guide warmly welcomed us, and the tour started. During the drive, they shared a lot of interesting information about Ishigaki Island. Upon arrival, we finally headed into the jungle! It was great that they provided lights and insect repellent. I was surprised to see a coconut crab for the first time, and it was bigger than I expected. The starry sky was also incredibly beautiful, making it a memorable experience for a lifetime.

確認の連絡があり、当日待ち合わせ場所へ。
ガイドさんが元気よく迎えてくださり、ツアースタート。
車での移動中も石垣島についてたくさんお話ししていただきとても面白いかったです。
現地に到着し、いよいよジャングルへ！
ライトや虫除けを用意してくれてるのはとても良かった。
ヤシガニも初めてみて予想より大きくびっくりしました。星空もとてと美しく、一生の思い出になりました。

I was a bit anxious because clouds appeared, but they captured the best photo without missing the moment of sunshine!

Seeing the Milky Way was also amazing!

雲が出てきたので、不安でしたが、一瞬の晴れを逃さずに最高の写真を撮影してくれました！

天の川も見れて最高でした！

It was absolutely amazing.
While we were on our way, it was raining, and I thought it might be ruined, but when we arrived, I was surprised.
The clouds had completely cleared, and a sky full of stars was spread out before us. It was a starry sky that you really can't see in the city!
Also, the photographer Yusuke was wonderful. He gave detailed instructions for poses and took the best photos.
He also taught us a lot about Miyako Island, making it an overall very satisfying tour. I would love to do it again next time! Thank you so much!

とにかく最高でした。
向かってる最中、途中雨が降っていたので、もうダメかなあと思ってたのですが、着いてビックリ
見事に雲もなくなり、満天の星が広がってました。本当に都会では見ることのない星空でした！
また、カメラマンのYUSUKEさんのご対応も素敵でした。ポーズも細かく指示して下さって、最高な写真を撮影いただきました。
宮古島についても沢山教えていただき、総合的に大満足なツアーでした。また次回もお願いしたいくらいです笑
本当にありがとうございました！

The shuttle service was very helpful. The tour guide was wonderful again. My grandfather's sanshin was great. I had a lot of fun. I would like to do this again.

送迎もたすかりました。観光ガイドの方がまた素晴らしい。おじいの三線が良かった。とても楽しかったです。またお願いします。

It was our first snorkeling experience as a couple in our fifties, and Hiroshi, who was in charge, was very kind and provided thorough instructions, making it a fun and great experience! I was a bit anxious about swimming, but he pulled me with a float to the spot, allowing me to focus on looking into the water, and I was able to swim with a sea turtle, which made me very happy! The coral and fish were beautiful, and we took memorable photos, creating wonderful memories!

アラフィフ夫婦で初シュノーケルでしたが担当していただいた光さんがとっても優しく丁寧にレクチャーくださり楽しく良い体験できました！
泳ぎが不安な私でしたがスポットまで浮き輪で引っ張ってくれて海の中を覗く事に集中できて、ウミガメさんとも一緒に泳げて大満足！珊瑚やお魚もキレイで記念の写真も残って良い思い出になりました！

I went snorkeling at four coral spots between Iriomote Island and Hatoma Island, where I was able to see turtles and incredibly colorful corals. It was a fantastic experience!

西表島と鳩間島の間にある珊瑚スポットに4ヶ所行ってシュノーケリング、亀も見れたり、すごくカラフルな珊瑚も見れたりで、大満喫しました。

I'm really glad I was able to capture the stunning starry sky in Miyako Island! Taking photos of the night sky is quite challenging for amateurs, and the family photo with the starry background became a wonderful memory of our trip to Miyako Island. The "Miyako Island Recommendation List" that I received from Yusuke after the shoot was also very helpful! Thank you!

宮古島の満点の星空の写真が残せて本当に良かったです！
素人では星空の写真は難易度が高すぎますし、星空バックの家族全員での写真は宮古島旅行の良い思い出になりました。撮影後にYUSUKEさんに頂いた「宮古島おススメリスト」もとっても役にたちました！ありがとうございます。

In the ideal, crystal-clear sea, I was able to see many sea turtles, beautiful small fish, and even Nemo, making it the best memory of my time in Miyako Island! I believe this was also thanks to our guide, Matsuura-san, who efficiently took us to spots where we could see sea turtles and Nemo. It would be difficult to find such great spots in the vast ocean on our own, and I was also anxious about swimming far from the shore, so it was definitely thanks to Matsuura-san. Before entering the water, he provided precise snorkeling instructions, which allowed us to truly enjoy snorkeling comfortably! (By pressing down on the top of the goggles and exhaling through the nose, the water would clear out.) It was very helpful, and it seemed like my child was able to enjoy it comfortably as well. We had a wonderful time thanks to Matsuura-san's personality! Thank you very much!

理想の透明度の高い海の中、ウミガメや綺麗な小魚やニモなどがたくさん見られて宮古島の中でも一番の思い出になりました！
ただ、これもガイドの松浦さんが効率的にウミガメやニモなどがいる場所に連れて行ってくれたからだと思います。個人では、広い海の中であんなに良いスポットを見つけるのも難しいですし、岸から離れた所まで泳いでいくことも不安だったので、やはり松浦さんのおかげですね。海には入る前に、シュノーケルの指導も的確にしてくれたおかげで本当に快適にシュノーケルを楽しむことが出来ました！（ゴーグルの上部を押さえて、鼻から息をフッと吐くと水が抜けたり）とっても役に立ち、子供もそれでずいぶん快適に過ごせたようです。松浦さんのお人柄でとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました！どうもありがとうございました！

The Sagarihana is a flower that blooms during this season in the Okinawa and Yaeyama region, and it opens at night. I thought it would be tough to go alone since it moves at night, so I joined a tour.

After gathering, the tour adjusted the timing and took us to the Tanbuku Farm's garden, where we stayed for about an hour before being transported back. The site was beautifully lit up, and even though it was small, it was enjoyable, so I’m glad I participated. Moreover, since there are hardly any streetlights along the way, I think it’s safer to have someone take you there.

Looking at the Sagarihana, it seemed that about half of the flowers had already finished blooming at Tanbuku Farm, and it appears to be a limited period from late June to early July, so if your schedule allows, it might be a good idea to go see the Sagarihana.

When the Sagarihana blooms, it emits a sweet and unique fragrance, creating a mysterious atmosphere upon arrival, including the sight of the flowers. I definitely recommend experiencing this in person.

サガリバナは、沖縄・八重山地方において、この時期に咲く花で、しかも夜に花が開く花。夜に移動するので、一人で行くのはしんどいと思い、ツアーに参加しました。
ツアーは、集合後に時間調整をしてから、今回は田福農園さんの庭へと連れて行ってもらい、１時間ほど滞在した後に、送迎してもらうという流れでした。現地はライトアップされていて、小さいながらも楽しめまして、参加してよかったです。しかも、道中はほとんど街灯もない場所ですので、連れて行ってもらった方が安心だと思います。
また、サガリバナの状況をみると、田福農園さんの方は半分ぐらい花が咲き終わった感じでして、６月後半から７月前半までの期間限定のようですので、予定が合えばサガリバナを見に行くのもよいのではないでしょうか。

サガリバナは、咲くと甘いような独特の匂いを発するので、現地に到着すると、花の様子も含めて不思議な感じになります。これは是非とも実際に現地で体験して欲しいです。

My husband was excited about the coconut crab, and I was looking forward to the starry sky. At the meeting point, we received rubber boots from a cheerful and cute female guide as a precaution against the habu snakes.

After getting into the car and arriving at a dark location, the only sound we could hear was the hooting of an owl, which had my husband already thrilled. With the lights we were given, we entered the bushes by the roadside, and surprisingly, it was spacious and easy to walk through, allowing us to explore with peace of mind.

The guide found various creatures, including the purple land hermit crab, and explained them while taking photos for us. After passing through the bushes, we emerged onto the sandy beach, and looking up, we were greeted by a sky full of stars! It was the night of Tanabata, and we could even see the Milky Way. It truly felt like a planetarium, and we were moved for a while!

Later, we explored the bushes again in search of the coconut crab and finally encountered one! In fact, we found two! We took commemorative photos with the coconut crabs, and it was a very satisfying experience. Thank you, guide!

夫はヤシガニ、私は星空がお目当てで参加しました。
集合場所で元気で可愛い女性ガイドさんからハブ対策で全員長靴を貸してもらえました。
車で移動し降りた場所は真っ暗で近くからフクロウの鳴き声だけが聞こえてきて夫は既に大興奮。
配られたライトを手に、え！ここから？という道路脇の茂みの中へ入ると意外にも中は広く歩きやすく安心して探索できました。
ガイドさんがムラサキオカヤドカリなど色々な生き物を見つけては解説してくれて写真も撮ってくれました。
茂みを抜けると海岸の砂浜に出る事ができ、見上げれば満天の星空が！
ちょうど七夕の夜で天の川も確認できました。本当にプラネタリウムのようで、しばし感動の時間！
その後ヤシガニを求め再度茂みを探索すると遂に遭遇！しかも2匹！
ヤシガニと一緒に記念撮影してもらい大満足の時間となりました。
ガイドさんありがとうございました！

This was my second trip to Ishigaki Island. Instead of marine sports, I participated in a night tour this time.

Unfortunately, the weather was not great, and we couldn't see the stars.

It was drizzling, but the night tour in the rain was exciting and fun.

I was thrilled to see a large coconut crab! I wanted to see a coconut crab, so I was glad I got to see one! They took a lot of photos and sent them to me the same day. Thank you!

We also encountered various creatures like snakes and crabs. The excitement of encountering island wildlife that I can't experience in the city was overwhelming.

2度目の石垣島旅行でした。
マリンスポーツではなく、
今回はナイトツアーに参加しました。

あいにくの天気で星は見えませんでした。

雨がポツポツと降っていましたが、
雨の中のナイトツアーもワクワクして楽しかったです。

大きなヤシガニがいて感動！
ヤシガニが見たかったので、見られてよかったです！
写真もたくさん撮ってくれてその日の内に送って下さいました。
ありがとうございます！

他にはヘビやカニなど様々な生き物と遭遇。
都内にいると感じられない島の生き物との遭遇にワクワクが止まりませんでした。

It was great that we didn't have to drive, and we had the freedom to choose the start time and destination, making it more flexible than a bus tour. After sightseeing, we rented a car, but since the price wasn't much different, we should have just had them take us to the hotel and arranged for a ride back as well. It was very comfortable.

運転もしなくて良いですし、開始時間も行き先も自分達の自由なのでバスツアーよりも融通が効いてよかったです。観光の後、レンタカーを借りたのてすが、値段的にそれほど変わらないので、ホテルまで送ってもらい、帰りも頼んでしまえばよかったです。とても快適でした。

I took an 8-hour tour around northern Okinawa. I picked out the places I wanted to visit in advance, and the driver created the route considering the sightseeing time at each location. Along the way, the driver took us to recommended shops and even to tourist spots we hadn't researched, which made the experience more enjoyable than we expected! I was also grateful for the photos he took. It was really fun to talk about Okinawa during the drive! If I come back to Okinawa, I would definitely like to use this service again! Thank you very much.

8時間コースで沖縄北部をまわってもらいました。事前に行きたい所をピックアップしておいて、あとは運転手さんが現地での見学時間などを考慮してルートを作ってくださいました。コースの途中、運転手さんのオススメのお店に寄ってくださったり、私たちが調べていなかった観光スポットにも寄ってくださって、思いのほか楽しめました！写真も撮ってくれて有り難かったです。移動中の車内でも沖縄の話を色々してくださって本当に楽しかったです！もしまた沖縄旅行にきた際には利用したいです！ありがとうございました。

I participated because I wanted to meet the coconut crab and other rare creatures.

In addition to the coconut crab, which is a natural monument, and the purple land hermit crab, I was able to see many creatures. I encountered various species unique to Okinawa, such as firefly larvae, the golden chrysalis of the Papilio butterfly, stick insects, scorpions, and many types of crabs and hermit crabs.

On the day of the tour, there were two other groups participating. Although there were several other tour groups, the small group size allowed us to hear the guide's explanations clearly, and we were able to take individual photos with the coconut crab, which was very attentive. They provided long boots for snake protection and lent us flashlights. They taught us everything from safe flashlight usage to explanations about the creatures and constellations. We also had the opportunity to take commemorative photos with the coconut crab. The shuttle service to the port was also appreciated.

I happened to have some free time when I used Ishigaki Port, so I went to the planetarium there to prepare, which enhanced my enjoyment of the starry sky.

Considering that there were other participants and time constraints, if you want to take your time, it might be better to research and go on your own rather than join a tour like this. However, the advantages are that you don’t need to rent a car, you can go hands-free, and you can enjoy it safely without any prior knowledge. Plus, it’s very affordable and you can participate on the day, which I think is a great point.

ヤシガニや珍しい生き物に会いたくて参加しました。

天然記念物であるヤシガニやムラサキオカヤドカリの他、沢山の生き物を見ることができました。蛍の幼虫や、金色に輝くオオゴマダラの蛹、ナナフシ、サソリモドキ、色々な種類のカニやヤドカリ、へびなど沖縄にしかいない生き物に沢山会えました。

当日は他に2組一緒に参加されている方がいました。他にも何グループかツアーの方がいましたが、少人数ごとのグループなのでガイドの方の話も聞き逃すことなく、個別にヤシガニと写真を撮っていただけたり手厚かったです。
ヘビ対策の長靴や、懐中電灯を貸していただけました。安全な懐中電灯の使い方から、生き物の説明、星座の説明などなんでも教えていただけます。また、ヤシガニとの記念撮影もしてくれました。
港まで送迎があるのもありがたかったです。

たまたま石垣港を利用した際に空き時間があったので、そこにあるプラネタリウムに行って予習をしていたのでより星空も楽しめました。

他にも参加されている方がいることや、時間に限りがあることなどもあり、じっくりみたい場合はこのようなツアーでなく自分で調べて行くのが良いかもしれませんが、レンタカー借りなくていいし、手ぶらでいいし、なんの知識がなくても安全に楽しむことができるのに、当日参加できるしとても安くコスパが良いというのが良い点だと思います。
