This is my second time in Ishigaki Island. Last time I rented a car, but this time I didn't, so I joined a half-day island tour. Since the forecast predicted rain on the day of my reservation, I asked the bus company to change it, and I was glad to receive a positive response from a very friendly employee. The guide provided detailed explanations about the island, which helped me understand Ishigaki Island better, and the lunch was delicious. It was a satisfying tour.
石垣島は2度目ですが、前回はレンタカーで今回はレンタカーを借りなかったので半日の島巡りツアーに参加しました。予約日が雨の予報でしたので、変更を当日バス会社にお願いしましたが、とても感じのいい社員の方からのOKの返事を頂いてよかったです。ガイドさんの丁寧な島の説明で石垣島のことがよくわかりましたし、昼食も美味しかったです。満足のツアーでした。

I participated in the morning tour. I was looking forward to the guide being the famous old man mentioned, but I was a bit disappointed when it turned out to be a female guide. However, she was very articulate and I was able to enjoy exploring Ishigaki Island.
At Kabira Bay, I took a glass-bottom boat for an additional fee. Although the sea was murky due to low tide, I was able to see sea turtles!
The view from Tamatorizaki Observatory, where you can see both the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, was truly wonderful.
If your flight from Ishigaki Airport is around 3 PM, this tour might be just right for you. You can quickly circle Ishigaki Island, enjoy lunch, and be dropped off at the airport at the end, making it a great value for the price.
午前発プランで参加しました。
午前は名物おじさんのガイドという記載があり、楽しみにしていましたが、女性のガイドさんでちょっとがっかり。
しかし、そのガイドの方もとても話上手な方で、楽しく石垣島を巡ることが出来ました。
川平湾では別料金でグラスボートに乗りました。
干潮時で海が濁っていたのですが、ウミガメが見れました!
東シナ海と太平洋が一望できる、玉取崎展望台からの眺望かとても素晴らしいと感じました。
もし、石垣空港からのフライトが3時近くであれば、このツアーを参加するとちょうど良いかもしれません。
石垣島を駆け足で一周出来て、ランチもついて最後は空港で降ろして貰えるので、コスパ最高です。

I was able to create the best memories on my first trip to Okinawa.
First, I went to Kouri Island, and while crossing the Kouri Bridge, we had a "camera time." The staff helped eliminate distractions like the tour name and the driver's UV protection board, providing us with the perfect shooting environment.
The next attraction was the main highlight, the Churaumi Aquarium, where I was overwhelmed by the size and presence of the whale sharks and manta rays. Right next to the giant tank, there’s a café, and I was surprised that as soon as I paid, my food was ready. Eating it while still warm was a delightful surprise. Additionally, at the Okashi Goten, I enjoyed the delicious treats, and at Manzamo, I was reminded of the caves in Dogashima. Ryukyu Village made me feel like I had time-traveled back to a wonderful era.
This time, I signed up for the Wagyu Ryukyu Kaiseki and Ryukyu Dance plan. The Wagyu Ryukyu Kaiseki featured local dishes that exceeded my expectations. I managed to enjoy the shabu-shabu, but I got full from the local beer and awamori, which unfortunately left me unable to finish the meal. Next time, I want to drink alcohol after finishing the food. The Ryukyu Dance was wonderful, allowing me to feel the elegance of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
I appreciate the guide for contacting the restaurant "Urashima" to let them know we might be late. I am very grateful for their consideration. I also want to thank the staff at "Urashima" for their kindness. Thank you very much.
初めての沖縄旅行で、最高の思い出作りが出来ました。
まず最初に、古宇利島へ行ったのですが、古宇利大橋を渡るときには、カメラタイムということで、前方に有った、ツアー名、運転手さんの紫外線カットのボード等々の撮影に邪魔な物を排除して頂き、最高の撮影環境を提供して頂きました。
次の観光は、メインの「美ら海水族館」は、ジンベエザメ、マンタには、大きさによる迫力で圧倒されました。 巨大水槽のすぐ隣にはカフェがあるのですが、会計をするとすぐに、料理ができ上がってきたのには、びっくりで、食べて、暖かさに、超びっくりでした。また、菓子御殿は、美味しさを頂き、万座毛は、堂が島の洞窟を思い出したり、琉球村は、昔の良き時代にタイムスリップした錯覚になりました。
今回は、和琉会席・琉球舞踊プランを申込んだのですが、和琉会席は、地元の料理であり、期待・想像以上でしたが、しゃぶしゃぶまでは、頑張って食することができたのですが、地ビール、泡盛のお酒でお腹がいっぱいになり、食事は、残念な結果になりました。次回は、料理を完食後にアルコールを飲みたいと思っています。また、文化知るうえでは、琉球舞踊は、素晴らしく、琉球王国の優雅さが感じることができました。
予約時間に間に合わないかもしれない旨を、ガイドさんから、お店「うらしま」にご連絡して頂き、気配りに感謝・感謝です。
また、「うらしま」のスタッフの優しさも感謝しております。有難うございました。

This tour was really good for visiting many places in one day at a really inexpensive price. I went to four really interesting spots.
While there was an English audio guide on the bus, it wasn't that good and the actual guide doesn't speak English. Which is fine because you don't necessarily need that because most of the location had employees that do speak some English. Also the tour guide sang a few, what I assume, traditional Ryukyu songs.
I wish I had more time in some places and less in others, but like I said for the price it can't be beat. Just be prepared for a long bus ride.

This is a bus tour around the southern part of Okinawa Island. The early meeting time was a bit tough, but it's convenient as you can visit places like Sefa Utaki, Okinawa World or Shinbaru Beach (you can choose), and the Peace Memorial Park. (Entrance fees for each facility are separate.) On the way back, you can choose to get off at the airport or in front of the prefectural office, so I made a reservation for my last day and got off at the airport. The price was also reasonable, which was great.
沖縄本島の南部を巡るバスツアーです。集合時間が早いのが少し辛かったですが、斎場御嶽、おきなわワールドor新原ビーチ(選択式です)、ひめゆりの塔と周ってもらえるので便利です。(各々の施設への入場料は別途かかります)
帰りは空港下車か県庁前下車か選べるので、私は最終日に予約して空港で下車しました。値段がお手頃なのも良かったです。

It takes a whole day, but they will take you to all the major spots. I think it's great for those who don't drive. The admission fee for Churaumi Aquarium is included, so I think it's cheap. The tour guide also shares some interesting stories about Okinawa. More than half of the tour participants were foreigners from China and South Korea. They were provided with audio guides. There was enough space on the bus, so I used two seats for myself and comfortably napped during the ride. It was disappointing that the stay on Kouri Island was too short, and I couldn't fully enjoy the sea. But I ended up spending time at a shop where sea grapes were cheap, haha. However, even including that, 20 minutes was too short. Personally, I thought American Village wasn't worth visiting. I was puzzled about what to do there.
丸一日かかりますが、一通りメジャーなところに連れて行ってくれます。
運転しない人にとっては良いと思います。
美ら海の入場料も入っているので安いと思います。
添乗員さんもちょいちょい沖縄ネタを話してくれるので面白いです。
ツアー参加者の半分以上が中国、韓国あたりの外国人でした。
そちらの方には音声ガイドが配られていました。
バスの座席に余裕があったので1人2席使って、移動中は寝たりして快適に過ごしていました。
古宇利島の滞在時間が短すぎて、海が全然堪能できなかったのは残念。
でもこれは海ぶどうが安いというお店で時間を費やしてしまったためw
しかしこれも含めて20分てのは短すぎたな~
アメリカンビレッジは個人的には行かなくて良いかなと思いました。
何して過ごせばいいのか謎でした。
Dear AAA,
Thank you for participating in our bus tour and for sharing your experience with us. We will consider your feedback regarding the time spent on Kouri Island internally.
As for your time at American Village, it is a commercial facility where you can enjoy shopping and gourmet options (cafes with ocean views and various other choices). There is also Sunset Beach nearby where you can relax. We acknowledge that we may not have provided sufficient information about these options, so we will look into distributing materials that can guide our guests better.
We sincerely appreciate your valuable feedback and will certainly take it into account. We look forward to welcoming you again on our tours in the future.
Thank you very much.

There are various optional tours available on Taketomi Island, but the reason I chose VELTRA is that they offer round-trip transportation to and from the hotel. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride, bicycle rental, and the chance to enjoy Taketomi Island. Especially the water buffalo cart ride was nice because it was just my husband and me along with one other couple, allowing us to ride comfortably. The person who provided the round-trip transportation to the hotel was very friendly and kind, and since we were the only ones on the way there, they shared a lot of local information, which was enjoyable. I'm glad I used their service.
竹富島でのオプショナルツアーはいろいろな旅行会社でありますが、私がVELTRAさんを選んだ理由は、ホテルまでの往復送迎があるからです。ツアー内容は、水牛車・レンタサイクルと竹富島を楽しむことが出来ました。特に水牛車は、たまたま私達夫婦ともう一組だけでしたので、ゆったりと乗車することが出来ました。ホテルまで往復送迎してくださった方はとても楽しく親切で、往路は私達だけでしたので、地元情報などいろいろ教えていただき楽しかったです。利用して良かったです。

The main focus of this trip was to take photos of the kids on Taketomi Island, so we chose a tour that included a bus sightseeing option. It seemed like my daughter was really into searching for star sand. The bus driver was very kind to the children and had a great demeanor. However, the tour itself felt a bit tight on time. We only got off the bus to look for star sand, and the rest was from the window, so we couldn't take many photos. Later, we hurriedly rented bicycles to explore. Since it's a small island, it might have been better to start with a rental cycle course. That's my lack of research...
The water buffalo cart was a huge hit with the family! We could leisurely stroll through the stone-built village just as I had imagined, and the guide's explanations included some humor, which kept the kids engaged. I felt that next time, I would like to stay overnight on Taketomi Island!
今回の旅行のメインが竹富島で子供達の写真を撮る事だったので、バス観光付きのツアーを選択。娘のメインは星の砂探しだったようで夢中になってました。バス観光の運転手さんは子供達にも優しく接してくれてとても感じのよい方でした。ただ、ツアー自体はちょっと時間がタイトかな?下車するのも星の砂だけであとは車窓からなので写真を撮る事は出来ず、後から慌てて自転車借りて走り回りました。小さい島なので最初からレンタルサイクルのコースにすればよかったかも。私のリサーチ不足ですね。。。
水牛車は家族も大喜び!イメージしてた通りの石垣造りの集落をのんびりと散策できるし、ガイドさんの説明も所々に笑いを挟み子供達も退屈しない内容でした。次回は竹富島でゆっくり一泊したいなぁと感じました!!

As expected, it was 34 degrees and sunny in Okinawa.
It was hot and dazzling.
About 15 years ago, I also visited Taketomi Island, but it was cloudy and I couldn't see the sun, so I didn't feel the beauty of the star sand beach at Kaiji Beach very much.
However, this time I was able to see the beautiful beach shining in various colors.
It was tough because of the heat, but it was beautiful!
I'm glad I included the bus tour.
In that heat, riding a bicycle would have been a bit difficult.
This was my second experience with the water buffalo cart.
Handsome Maekun, who is scared of bicycles, froze every time a bicycle came by.
He also froze again because he was feeling uneasy about the poop.
The guide's singing was also great.
The leisurely water buffalo cart tour was enjoyable and had its charm.
After that, we walked to the shop where the staff was making handmade rice balls for the young people.
They looked delicious.
They apologized, saying they could make them because there were extra ingredients, and they couldn't make them for us.
They really looked delicious, and I thought I would love to buy handmade rice balls from the island's grandmas!
At the resting spot, the sleepy kitty didn't move at all (laughs).
In the waiting room for the water buffalo cart tour, I was able to purchase a cute dress, postcards, and island pepper.
Thank you very much!

I applied the evening before and received confirmation the morning of the tour. While waiting in the hotel lobby at the meeting time, a driver holding a "regular sightseeing" card appeared and left with only two other people. They didn't call our names or look for us, so I wondered if that was a different tour. Feeling anxious, I consulted the hotel concierge, who confirmed with the tour company that we had indeed been left behind. I'm not sure if the issue was that my application through Veltra wasn't communicated or if it was a mistake on the organizer's side, as there was no explanation given, and the driver didn't apologize (which suggests a communication error?).
I've used Veltra services many times in various countries, but this was my first experience like this. I'm glad it happened in Japan; I think I would have given up if it were overseas.
As for the tour content, it felt just right—not too much, not too little, and it covered all the highlights of Ishigaki. More than the sightseeing spots, the guide was fantastic! Their explanations were rich and easy to understand, and they played the sanshin and sang folk songs along the way, making it a tour where you could really feel the essence of Ishigaki.
前日の夕方に申し込み、当日の朝に確定連絡が来ました。
待ち合わせ時間にホテルのロビーで待っていると、「定期観光」のカードを持った運転手さんが現れ、他の2名だけを連れて発車してしまいました。
我々の名前を呼ぶでも探すでもなかったので、あれは違うツアーなのか?と思いつつ、不安だったのでホテルのコンシェルジュに相談し観光会社に確認したところやはり置いていかれていました。
ベルトラからの申込みが伝わっていなかったのか、主催者側のミスなのか、説明もなかったので良く分かりませんが、運転手さんからの謝罪も特にありませんでした(ということは連絡ミス?)
世界各国でベルトラ経由のサービスを何度も利用していますが、初めての経験でした。これが日本で良かったです。海外なら諦めたと思います。
ツアーの内容は、これ以上でもこれ以下でもないという感じで、石垣の見どころは全て入れた感じでした。観光場所よりも、ガイドさんが素晴らしかった!説明は豊富で分かりやすく、途中三線を演奏したり民謡を歌ったり、バスの中で石垣をたっぷり感じられるツアーでした。

I understood, but it was a bit disappointing that each stop in Mishima was quite short. I could hardly see anything on Yufu Island.
On Taketomi Island, I went cycling, and the weather was great, which made it perfect. It's ideal for quickly getting a feel for the island's atmosphere, and I think it's convenient without worrying about transportation. However, next time, I would like to explore each island a bit more thoroughly.
わかってはいましたが、三島巡るため、やはりひとつひとつが短時間なのが、少し残念でした。特に由布島は、ほとんど見ることができなかったです。
竹富島では、サイクリングをしましたが、お天気もよく最高でした。
ささっと島の雰囲気を知るには最適ですし、交通の心配もなく便利と思いますが、次回は各島をもう少しじっくり見たいです。

Since I was with small children (2 years and 7 months old), I thought cycling would be difficult, so we opted for a bus tour. We got off at Kaiji Beach and picked up star sand, and although we only saw Kondoi Beach from the bus window, it was such a beautiful beach that I thought I would like to play in the water next time. Also, on the water buffalo cart, we spent a leisurely time with the guide and the melody of the sanshin!

The Good:
Overall a very good time, had lots of fun at all 3 attractions, though I would have loved more time to spend at the Charaumi Aquarium.
I really do recommend the butterfly garden--even if you can't book this tour, that was a really lovely experience, would have loved to spend more time there as well.
Despite the "English Audio" label, neither tour guide or driver could really speak or understand English, but the trip still went really smoothly despite that. I think I missed some extra info (like special highlights of the area, or feeding times for the animals), but the tour guide was really nice, and really tried to be helpful despite the language gap.
The Bad:
My trip started at 8AM when the bus picked me up and ended at 6PM, and while the trip hit 4 different gift stores, they mainly sell a wide variety of sweets. Lunch wound up being a bowl of ramen soup--tasty, but it's not enough to cover breakfast and dinner together.
I didn't like the final gift store that was part of the "free little gift" package, where we got a free cookie with any other purchase, because by the end of the day I was ready for my hotel and real food. However--and I'm assuming the tour company was getting a kick-back from the store--we were parked there for 30 minutes, and after 10 minutes 90% of the group was sitting on the bus waiting to leave.
I realize "dumping tourists in a gift-store" is a common business practice, but when you're inconveniencing and irritating most of your guests, you should probably stop it.

There were many people in the group, and I felt a bit awkward being alone, but I still enjoyed it. I generally prefer to sightsee at a leisurely pace, so I have the impression that tours are busy except during the daytime. I also had to be considerate of the other group while eating, so next time I come, I plan to buy my own ticket and travel at my own pace. I think it would be fun for a family trip.

I thought visiting three islands in one day would be tough, but there was plenty of free time, and I was able to take a lot of photos. The weather on Iriomote Island changed suddenly, and it rained a bit, but that's common here, so I was prepared for it. The guide for the Iriomote tour was very polite and, above all, greeted us with a smile. On Yubu Island, they provided separate guides for the ox cart ride to and from, and on the way back, they entertained us with the sanshin. On Taketomi Island, we explored the island by renting bicycles. There were a few more hills than I expected, which was a bit tiring.
I couldn't find any star sand at Kaiji Beach at all. If you really want to find it, it might take more than a day. The view from Kondoi Beach is absolutely the best.
1日で3島めぐりはキツイかなと思いましたが、自由時間も余裕があり写真もかなり撮ることができました。西表は天気が急転して少し雨になりましたがここではよくあることで想定済みでした。西表ツアーのガイドさんも丁寧で何よりも笑顔で接してくました。由布島の牛車は、行きと帰りのガイドさんを別にしてくれて帰りは三線で楽しませてくれました。竹富島ではレンタサイクルで島を巡りました。想定したよりもちょっとした坂が多く地味に疲れました。
カイジ浜の星の砂は、全く見つかりせんでした。本気で見つけようとしたら1日じゃすまないかもです。コンドイビーチの景色は何よりも最高です。

It was my first trip to Okinawa. It turned out to be a surprisingly wonderful travel memory. I was enchanted by the bus guide's singing voice.
初めての沖縄旅行でした。思いのほか素晴らしい旅行の思い出になりました。
バスガイドさんの歌声にうっとり^_^
Dear Mr. Turbo,
Thank you for participating in our bus tour. We also appreciate your review.
We hope you enjoyed your first trip to Okinawa! Okinawa has many sightseeing spots, so we recommend using our sightseeing bus tour! The performance of our bus guide has received positive feedback and may even be more popular than the sightseeing locations themselves (laughs).
We look forward to your next visit to Okinawa and hope to serve you again. Thank you very much for joining our bus tour.
Sincerely,
The Cerulean Blue Staff

This was the perfect tour to see many sites in northern Okinawa esp since we did not rent a car. It is very good value for your money. The time spent at the pineapple park is a bit short but sufficient to see the gift shop. We have seen the dole plantation so was ok with the time.

It was a very fulfilling plan. At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had three hours, allowing us to take our time and explore thoroughly. At the Ryukyu Mura, large butterflies landed on the flowers and didn't fly away even when we got close. I heard that Okinawa soba was a light snack, but the portion was satisfying. At the Pineapple Park, of course, there were pineapples, but we also got to sample various souvenirs, which filled us up. The pick-up was from the Southwest Hotel, so it took quite a bit of time for the round trip, but since it was from Naha, it can't be helped.
大変充実したプランでした。美ら水族館では3時間の時間があった為、じっくり回って見る事が出来ます。琉宮城では大きな蝶が花に幾匹も止まり、近寄っても逃げません。沖縄そばは軽食と伺いましたが満足の量でした。パイナップルパークではパイナップルはもちろんでしたが、お土産品の試食を色々と頂けお腹がいっぱいになりました。送迎は南西ホテルからでしたので、往復にかなり時間がかかりましたが、那覇からですので仕方ありませんね。
Dear Miy,
Thank you very much for using our bus tour. We are truly delighted to receive such positive feedback from you. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island with my 4-year-old son. We spent the afternoon exploring Ishigaki Island until 2 PM, and then we went to Taketomi Island. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Above all, I was moved by the beautiful emerald green sea. We also got to see clownfish and sea turtles. I definitely want to go again.
今回4歳の息子と初めての石垣島でした。午後2時まで石垣島に一周回って、それ以降竹富島に行きました。とても楽で楽しい時間を過ごしてきました。なんと言っても、やっぱりエメラルド高い海に感動しました。クマノミと海亀にも会えました。又行きたいと思います。

Although the weather was unfortunately rainy and cloudy, I was glad to have included this tour, as there wouldn't have been much else to do. The mangrove tour involved riding a boat up the Nakama River while listening to our guide's stories, and we returned afterward. The water buffalo cart to Yufu Island was a slow but soothing experience with the hardworking buffalo. There was plenty to do on Yufu Island, including visiting the butterfly garden, so I never felt bored. It was a bit disappointing that the lunchbox was cold; perhaps it was due to the large number of people, but I would have preferred freshly made food. When we arrived at Taketomi Island, it was raining quite a bit, but we bravely cycled in our raincoats. I enjoyed spotting cute birds and eating soba. Everyone on Taketomi Island was very kind.
雨が降ったり止んだりとあいにくの天気でしたが、このツアーを入れてなかったら他にできることもなかったので良かったです。
マングローブツアーはガイドさんの話を聞きながら船で仲間川をのぼり、戻ってきました。
由布島への水牛車はゆーっくりと頑張ってる牛に癒されました。由布島内もちょう園など、退屈することはありませんでした。お弁当は冷めてしまっていて少し残念でした。人数が多いから仕方ないのかもしれませんが作りたてのご飯が食べたかったです。
竹富島に着いた時は雨も結構降っていたのですがレインコートでサイクリングを強行。可愛い鳥を発見したり、そばを食べたりと楽しめました。竹富島の人はみなさん優しかったです。

It was a quick tour, but I think it was great for my first trip to Okinawa as we were able to efficiently see the sightseeing spots. The guide also played the sanshin and sang during the car ride, and at Manza Beach, she even helped us take photos and acted as a photographer! It was truly exceptional! My mother, who came with me, was also very satisfied. Thank you!
駆け足でのツアーでしたが、観光ポイントを効率的に見れたので初・沖縄旅行には良かったと思います。またガイドのお姉さんの車中での三線の演奏や歌を披露して下さったり、万座毛では写真の場所取りとカメラマンまで!至れり尽くせり!
一緒に行った母も大満足でした。ありがとうございました!

I brought my grandmother along, and she enjoyed it. The water buffalo was interesting, but the jungle cruise in the morning was a bit cold, so a jacket is necessary.
ばーちゃんを参加させましたが楽しんでいました。水牛は、牛が面白かったですが、午前中のジャングルクルーズは少し寒かったため上着が必要です。

Departure at 7:50 and disbanding at 13:20.
It's also perfect for the last day since you can finish at the airport!
You can't reach places like Sefa Utaki and the Himeyuri Peace Museum without a rental car.
The guide along the way is also informative.
I recommend it!
7:50出発で13:20解散
空港で終えることもできるので最終日にも最適!
斎場御嶽やひめゆり資料館はレンタカーなしでは来られません。
道中のガイドも勉強になります。
オススメです!
