I think this is a very efficient tour because the guide explains the island and tourist attractions that you wouldn't understand just from the guidebook!
At each location, the guide takes photos for you, and if you schedule your return flight in the afternoon, you can arrange this tour in the morning, which allows for a stop at the airport on the way back. This is especially recommended for solo travelers who don't plan to rent a car.
The lunch was delicious, and the guide's sanshin performance was pleasant. However, I thought it would have been even better if we could have stopped at Hirakubo Cape, the northernmost point of the island!
バスで島の名所をガイドブックからだけでは分からない島や観光名所の説明をしてくれるのでとても効率的なツアーだと思います!!
各所ではガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり、帰りの飛行機を午後にして午前中にこのツアーを組めば帰りがけ空港にも寄ってくれるのでもするのでレンタカーで回る予定のないひとり旅の人には特にオススメです☆
お昼ご飯も美味しく、ガイドさんの三線も心地よくて◎。ただ、島最北端の平久保崎にも寄れたらもっといいのになと思いました!

On May 16th (Monday), I went on a three-island tour. Today marks the start of the rainy season, so I was worried about whether the weather would hold up for the day. However, as I stepped out of the hotel and looked up at the sky, I was greeted by blue skies and thick clouds with a beautiful rainbow, which felt like a good omen. I have a feeling that things will go well.
After completing the procedures at the remote island terminal, I took a commemorative photo with the statue of Yoshitaka Gushiken and boarded the boat. The ride to Ohara Port took just over 30 minutes; it wasn't enough to make me seasick, but the boat was rocking quite a bit. It started to rain as well.
Once we arrived, I took care of my restroom needs and switched to the mangrove cruise boat to set off. Although it was cloudy, the weather improved with occasional rays of sunlight breaking through. My excitement for the mangroves, heightened by the scenery I saw the previous day at the coral reef in Ishigaki Island, was palpable. As we traveled upstream from the sea into Nakama River, the mangroves appeared with their twisted roots and densely packed roots supporting a single trunk, creating a mountain-like shape. Although they were just regular plant roots, everything exuded a strong vitality, making me feel like some mysterious creature might appear.
The captain skillfully navigated the boat while explaining the trees and birds, showcasing a meticulousness typical of women. He showed us a handful of large clams that were harvested right there. On the way there, I was too busy taking photos, but on the return trip, I enjoyed the scenery at a leisurely pace.
Next, we took a bus to Iriomote Island, to Mihara. The driver's anecdotes about the remote islands were entertaining, making the journey enjoyable. Upon arriving at Mihara, we were greeted by many water buffaloes on the beach. We boarded the "Hibari" cart, which was quite crowded due to various reasons.
The driver shared stories about the upbringing of the hibari calves, and laughter filled the cart as we arrived at the opposite shore at the Yufu Island Botanical Garden. We were welcomed with leis, which lifted our spirits. There were also opportunities for commemorative photos and photo sales.
As we passed through the tropical banyan trees, vibrant flowers, and large plants and leaves, we made our way to the lunch venue. We enjoyed Okinawan cuisine served in a tiered box, and after that, we strolled through the botanical garden again.
The rain picked up a bit here, so we ventured out with umbrellas through the lush greenery towards the sea. The pristine white sandy beach and the transparent ocean were beautiful. I thought to myself that it would have been stunning if the weather had been clear. On the way back, I was swayed by the "Koumei" cart, leaving Yufu behind.
Returning to Ohara Port, we headed to the last island, Taketomi Island. After a restroom break at the waiting area, we boarded the "Mansaku" cart and set off. Along the way, we listened to the charming island songs sung by the driver, as we leisurely progressed through the traditional streets lined with coral stone walls, orange-tiled roofs, and shisa statues.
After circling the island, we took a commemorative photo with Mansaku. There was a paid photo service and a free small photo gift. Of course, we could also take pictures with our own cameras.
On the way back to Taketomi Port, we stopped by Hoshizuna Beach. We received star sand as a gift, but following the guide's advice, I collected some star sand myself. This concluded our day's itinerary as we returned to Ishigaki Island. By the time we were heading back, I had completely gotten used to the boat's rocking and felt relaxed.
It was a day that flew by, but for someone new to Ishigaki Island, it was great to efficiently visit many tourist spots. Next time, I would love to stay overnight on a remote island on a sunny day. I might be hooked!
5月16日(月)、3島めぐりです。本日から梅雨に突入ということで、一日お天気がもつか心配ですが、ホテルから出て空を見上げると青空と厚い雲になんと虹がかかっていて、幸先いい感じ。なんとかいけそうな予感がします。
離島ターミナルで手続きを済ませ、具志堅用高さんの銅像と記念撮影をして船に乗り込みます。
大原港まで30分強、船酔いまではいきませんが、なかなかの揺れ。雨も降ってきました。
到着後、トイレを済ませから、マングローブクルーズ船に乗り換え出発です。
曇ってはいるものの時折り薄日が差すまでに天候も回復。前日、石垣島のビルギ群落で見た景色で高まったマングローブへの期待に胸が膨らみます。海から仲間川へと遡っていくにつれ見えてくるマングローブは、どうしたらそうなるのかというくらいに曲がりくねった木の根や、一本の幹を支えるために山の形に密集した根。普通の植物の根と同じなのだけれど、とにかく全てが太く強い生命力を感じさせ、何か不思議な生き物が現れそうな気がしてきます。
船長さんは木々や鳥たちのの説明をしながら、女性ならではの細やかさで見事なハンドルさばきです。ここで採れたという片手いっぱいの大きなしじみを見せてくれました。
行きは写真を撮るのに夢中でしたが、帰りはのんびり景色を楽しみます。
次はバスで西表島、美原へ。ドライバーさんの離島あるあるが楽しくて、移動中も退屈しません。
美原に着くと、浜にはたくさんの水牛たち。訳あり、子だくさんの「ひばり」号に乗車します。
御者のおじさんが聞かせてくれる、ひばりの子供たちの生い立ち話に、牛車中笑いに包まれながら、対岸の由布島植物園に到着。歓迎のレイをかけてもらって、気分も高まります。記念撮影と写真販売もありました。
南国ならではのがじゅまるの木や鮮やかな花々、大きな草木や葉っぱの間を抜けながら、ランチの会場へ。一段の重箱を仕切って小分けされた沖縄料理に舌鼓をうち、再度植物園の散策へ。
ここで雨が少し強くなったので、傘を差しながら鮮やかな緑の中を抜け海へ。真っ白な砂浜と透き通った海。晴れていたなら、きっとすごくきれいだろうなと思いながら、帰りは、ひばりの娘「小梅」号にゆられ、由布を後にしました。
大原港へ戻り、最後の島、竹富島へ。待合所でトイレ休憩の後、「満作」号に乗車し、出発です。途中途中で御者のおじさんの味のある島唄を聞きながら、サンゴの石垣とオレンジの屋根瓦とシーサー、伝統の街並みをゆったり、まったりと進んでゆきます。
島を一周後、満作と記念撮影。有料の写真販売と無料の小さな写真のプレゼントがありました。もちろん、自分のカメラでも撮影可能です。
竹富港への帰りに星砂浜へ立ち寄ります。プレゼントで星の砂をもらえるのですが、ガイドさんのアドバイスを聞いて、自ら星の砂を採取。これにて、一日の行程は終了。竹富港から石垣島へと戻ります。帰りには船の揺れにもにもすっかりなれ、余裕です。
あっ!という間の一日でしたが、石垣島初心者には、たくさんの観光地を効率良く周れて、とっても良かったです。
次回はお天気の良い日に、離島で宿泊もしてみたいな。はまったかも!!

I would recommend this. It works out about the same as getting public transport and buying a ticket to the aquarium alone. It was a little rushed, I think the glass place and the pineapple place are a waste of time. The butterfly place was cool as was the dolphin show. The aquarium is amazing! A must see. Overall a good well organised day out.

I used this tour for a family trip during this year's Golden Week. It was a short 2-night, 3-day trip, and since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I wanted to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. This tour is recommended because it allows you to visit the main attractions of three islands in one day. However, I can't deny that it felt a bit rushed. I think it might have been a bit tough for my parents, who have some mobility issues.
今年のGWに家族旅行で利用しました。2泊3日の短い旅行で、しかも初めての石垣島でしたので、効率よく観光地をまわりたいと考えていました。本ツアーは3島の主な観光地を1日でまわることができるのでおすすめです。ただ、すこし慌ただしくなってしまう感は否めません。足腰の悪い両親には少しきつかったのではと思います。

Everything went smoothly, and I was able to spend a comfortable day.
I chose cycling on Taketomi Island, and the weather was nice, so I had a great time.
I thought about having some tea to relax, but most of the shops were closed, and the ones that were open took over 30 minutes to serve what I ordered.
However, this is also Okinawa time! I found it amusing to just take it easy.
すべてがスムーズに運び、快適な1日を過ごすことが出来ました。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選びましたが、お天気もよくルンルンで楽しめました。
疲れてお茶でもしようかと思いましたが、閉まってるお店ばかりで、やってるお店も注文したものが出てくるのに30分以上かかる、と。
しかし、これも沖縄時間❗ゆったりしてると、笑えました。

I participated in a tour that took us from Ishigaki Island by boat to Iriomote Island, and then to Yubu Island and Taketomi Island.
On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a boat tour of the Nakama River, where the guide provided detailed information about the island's features and plants, making it a lot of fun.
After having lunch on Yubu Island, we were free to explore the island at our own pace, which was very relaxing. Riding the water buffalo across the river was particularly interesting, and the small children riding with us were thrilled. After a leisurely time on Yubu Island, we headed to Taketomi Island.
On Taketomi Island, we started with a bus tour. Since it was a large group tour, I was a bit worried about whether I would enjoy the bus sightseeing, but the bus driver kindly shared information about the island's features and made stops at viewpoints and beaches, allowing us to enjoy the sightseeing. Thanks to the bus driver teaching us how to find star sand, we were able to discover a lot, which was great.
It was especially hot that day, and since the roads on Taketomi Island are covered in sand, it seemed like biking would be difficult, so the bus tour was definitely the right choice. After the bus tour, we leisurely explored the island by water buffalo cart. I thought I would be tired after visiting three islands, but it was a well-organized tour that allowed us to take our time.
石垣島から船で西表島に息、その後、由島、竹富島と3島を巡るツアーに参加しました。
西表島は仲間川を船で観光しましたが、船のガイドの方が島の特徴や植物のことを丁寧に教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです。
由布島ではお昼ご飯を食べた後は自由に島をまわれて、ゆっくりできました。特に水牛にのって川を渡って行くのはとても面白く、一緒に乗っていた小さい子どもたちも大喜びでした。由布島でのんびりした後は、竹富島へ。
竹富島ではまずバス観光をしました。大人数のツアーだったこともあるので、バス観光で楽しめるかなと不安に思っていましたが、バスの運転手さんが丁寧に島の特徴を教えてくれ、ビューポイントやビーチに寄ってくれたので、楽しく観光することができました。星砂もバスの運転手さんが見つけ方を教えてくれたおかげで、たくさん見つけられ、とても良かったです。
特にその日はとても暑く、竹富島は道路が砂で覆われており自転車だと大変そうだったので、バス観光は正解でした。バス観光の後は水牛車でゆっくり島を巡り、3島まわって疲れるのかなと思っていましたが、至れり尽くせりのツアーでとてもゆっくり巡ることができました。

Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun! The guide and the driver were both nice, and it became a wonderful memory.
However, it was indeed written in the itinerary that "all-you-can-eat pineapple is included!" but it was not actually provided.
I went with my fiancé, and since we both love pineapple, we were really looking forward to the all-you-can-eat option.
So, I have some dissatisfaction... It was very disappointing.
美ら海水族館、とても楽しかったです!
ガイドさんも運転手さんもいい方で、素敵な想い出になりました。
ただ、旅程に確かに「パイナップル食べ放題付いてます!」と書いてあったのですが、実際はありませんでした。

Saijō Gushikawa has limited bus services, making it difficult to visit individually due to time constraints, but this tour covers the highlights of the southern region (including Saijō Gushikawa) thoroughly in half a day, which was very helpful. It was a very fulfilling half-day tour. They also provide transportation back to the airport, so for those with flights after 2:00 PM, it’s a great option for the last day of your trip. I highly recommend this tour.
斎場御嶽はバスの本数が少なくて個人で行くのは時間的に難しかったのですがこのツアーは南部の名所(もちろん斎場御嶽も)をしっかり半日で回ってくれるので助かりました。とても充実した半日ツアーでした。帰りは空港まで送迎もしてくれるので、フライトが14:00以降の人は旅行の最終日に良いと思います。とてもお勧めなツアーです。

We departed from Ishigaki Port shortly after 8 AM and headed to the mangrove cruise on Nakama River around 9 AM after our arrival. Although the sky was a bit cloudy, it was wonderful to cruise through the great outdoors that we usually don't get to see. Along the way, we got off the boat to see the Sakishima Suo tree, which is said to be 400 years old, and it was truly impressive.
We traveled to Yubu Island by riding a water buffalo. I had always wanted to try this, so it was really moving! An older gentleman played the sanshin and sang folk songs. I think it was a moment where you could really feel, "Ah, I've come to Okinawa." Yubu Island has a subtropical botanical garden, where we had lunch and I believe we had about an hour and a half of free time. My husband found the portion sizes at Yubu Island Teahouse to be a bit small, so he enjoyed some gelato.
We also traveled back by water buffalo cart.
Next was the island I wanted to visit the most, Taketomi Island!!! It was truly a wonderful place. The original scenery of Okinawa has been preserved, with houses featuring red-tiled roofs lined up, allowing us to spend a really peaceful and relaxing time. I chose the bus tour and the water buffalo cart tour, and I think that was the right decision. I considered renting a bicycle to explore freely, but even in May, the temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, so traveling by car might have been tough (laughs). It might be good for those who want to explore freely, though.
On Taketomi Island, we also rode a water buffalo cart. The guide was entertaining and sang about the culture of Taketomi Island, making for a really enjoyable time. We had about 30 minutes before boarding the bus, so we could take a short walk and explore. I climbed the Nagomi Tower, which I had been curious about during the water buffalo tour. The steep stairs might be challenging for those with a fear of heights, but I recommend it as you can overlook the island from a high vantage point. I also tried the bitter melon ice cream that the guide recommended. It was very hot, so it started melting quickly while I was walking, but it was delicious!
We moved by bus to Hoshizuna Beach and searched for star-shaped sand. The sea was beautiful, and there was truly nothing to complain about!!! I felt like the time spent on Taketomi Island could have been longer (laughs).
During the cruise, the sky was cloudy, but after that, the weather was really nice, and I was able to enjoy a truly wonderful time in Okinawa!!!
朝8時過ぎに石垣港を出発し、到着後9時前頃には仲間川のマングローブクルーズへ出発します。
少し曇り空でしたが、普段見れない大自然の中をクルージング出来て良かったです。
途中、ボートから降りて見た、樹齢400年とされているサキシマスオウノキは圧巻でした。
由布島へは水牛に乗って移動します。
ずっと乗ってみたかったので、本当に感動しました!!
おじさんが三線を弾きながら民謡を歌ってくれます。
『あ~沖縄にきた~』って感じれる瞬間だと思います。
由布島には亜熱帯植物園があるのですが、そこでは昼食を食べ、トータル1時間半ほどの自由時間があったと思います。
昼食は男性だと量が少なく足りないと、主人は由布島茶屋でジェラートを食べていました。
帰りも水牛車に乗り移動します。
次は私が一番行きたかった、竹富島!!!
本当に素敵な場所でした。
沖縄の原風景が残されていて、赤瓦屋根の家が立ち並び、本当に穏やかなのんびりとした時間を過ごせました。
バス観光と水牛車観光を選択しましたが、正解だったと思います。
自転車を借りて自由に周ろうかとも考えましたが、5月でも30度を超す炎天下の中で自動車の移動は厳しかったかもしれません(笑)
自由に見て周りたい人にはいいかもしれませんが・・。
竹富島でも水牛車に乗りました。
ガイドの方が面白おかしく、竹富島の文化や民謡を歌ってくれて、本当に楽しい時間が過ごせました。
バスに乗るまで30分ほど時間があったので、少し歩いて散策も出来ました。
水牛観光している時に気になっていた、なごみの塔に登ってみました。
急な階段で高所恐怖症の方には厳しいかもしれませんが、島を高いところから見渡すことが出来てオススメです。
ガイドの方が教えてくれたゴーヤのアイスも食べました。
とても暑かったので、歩きながら食べてると、すぐに溶けてきてしまいましたが、美味しかったですよ☆
バスで星砂浜へ移動し、星の形をした砂を探しました。
海もキレイで本当に言うことなし!!!
竹富島の滞在時間がもっと長くてもいいのになと感じたぐらいでした(笑)
クルーズの時は曇り空でしたが、それ以降はとても天気が良く、本当に素敵な沖縄時間を過ごすことが出来ました!!!

<Iriomote Island>
We cruised along the Nakama River, which boasts the largest mangrove area in Japan. Although the visibility changes with the tides, the guide provided detailed explanations about the different types of mangroves found on Iriomote Island, making the time fly by. Despite the strong sunlight, the breeze during the cruise was very pleasant.
Later, during the island bus tour, I was captivated by the driver's humorous stories about how much the Iriomote wildcat is cherished on the island and the lifestyle of the local people.
<Yubu Island>
It was my first time riding a water buffalo cart, so it was a very valuable experience. Once we arrived on the island, we had about two hours for lunch and free time, during which we could see the butterfly garden and newborn calves, as well as those in training.
<Taketomi Island>
Each cow has its own name and personality, which was fascinating to learn about. The guide explained the unique customs and history of Taketomi Island, helping us understand the background of why the beautiful streets have been preserved in this way. We also learned how to find the famous star sand, and my spouse and I eagerly searched for it like children (laughs).
<Summary>
I believe it was a very fulfilling tour. From the hotel pick-up to the transfers in each area and back to the hotel, the staff provided attentive guidance, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any worries. I think children would also have a great time.
<西表島>
マングローブ流域面積日本一を誇る仲間川をクルージング。潮の満ち引きによって見える状況は異なるものの、西表島にはどんなマングローブがあるのか、マングローブにもいろいろな種類があるというようなガイドさんの説明もとても細かく時間があっという間にすぎました。陽射しがとても強い日ではありましたが、クルージングをしてる時の風はとても心地よかったです。
その後、島内バス観光においては西表島でどれだけイリオモテヤマネコが大切にされているのか、島の人たちの生活についてなど、運転手さんの非常にユーモアある話で魅了されました。
<由布島>
水牛車に乗るのは初めてだったので、とても貴重な体験をすることができました。
島についてからは、約2時間ほど昼食と自由時間があり、蝶園やまだ生まれたばかりの牛、訓練中の牛も見ることが出来ました。
<竹富島>
牛ひとりひとりに名前があり、性格も違うようでまずその説明が興味深かったです。
竹富島ならではの風習や歴史をガイドさんにご説明いただくことで
あの素敵な街並みがなぜ今このように残っているのかという背景がとてもよく分かりました。
定番の星の砂の見つけるということにおいても、見つけ方を教えてもらい、夫婦で子供のように夢中になって探してました(笑)。
<総括>
とても充実したツアーだったと思います。
ホテルへの送迎からはじまり、各エリアでの移動、ホテルに戻るまでスタッフさんが丁寧にガイドしていただいたため、一度も不安になることなくツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。子供も楽しめると思います。

On the second day of our 3-night, 4-day trip to the Okinawa islands, we participated in this tour. The weather forecast predicted rain, but on the day itself, it was cloudy, which was a relief. There were moments when it drizzled, but we still had fun. (If it had rained enough to need an umbrella, the enjoyment might have been halved.) During the Nakama River cruise, we saw various types of mangroves and learned about their characteristics, so even though the scenery was similar, it felt like it ended quickly. The bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island shared jokes and interesting stories about the island, keeping the atmosphere in the bus lively and full of laughter. I usually find bus tour guides' talks to be "boring," but this driver's stories were very engaging, leaving no time for me to doze off.
The highlight for both of us was the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island. My husband had ridden it before and mentioned he wanted to show me the sea on a sunny day, but since it was my first time, I was completely satisfied with the exotic atmosphere. Although we couldn't choose our seats, I personally recommend sitting at the very back, as it offered great views for photos and the surrounding scenery. Since we visited three islands in one day, there wasn't much time for free exploration, and I particularly wished to see a bit more of Taketomi Island. However, as it was my first time at all these places, I felt it was a fulfilling experience. This time, we rushed through while learning various things, so next time, I would like to explore each island at a more leisurely pace. I think this tour is highly recommended for beginners in island travel.
夫婦二人、3泊4日の沖縄離島旅行2日目に、このツアーに参加させて頂きました。天気予報では雨だったのですが、当日は曇り空でひと安心。時折パラパラと降る場面もありましたが、楽しめました。(傘が必要なくらい降ると楽しさは半減かもしれません。)仲間川のクルーズでは、様々な種類のマングローブがあり、特徴など聞きながらだったので同じような景色が続いてもあっという間に終わったという感じでした。また西表島内をバスで案内してくださった運転手さんは、冗談や島内の面白エピソードを交えながら島の様子を紹介してくださり、バス内は笑いが絶えませんでした。今までバスツアーのガイドさんの話は「つまらない」と思うことが殆どでしたが、この運転手さんのお話しはとても興味深く居眠りする暇はありませんでした。そして、二人が一番楽しみにしていたのは由布島へ渡る水牛車です。主人は以前にも乗ったことがあり、「晴れてる時の海を見せたかった」と言っていましたが、私は初めてだったので、異国感溢れる空間で大満足でした。席は選べませんが個人的には一番後ろが写真も撮れて周りの景色もよく見えたのでオススメです。1日で3島をめぐるので自由観光する時間が殆どなかったので、竹富島は特にもう少し見たいなと思いましたが、どの場所も初めての私は盛りだくさんで良かったです。今回は急いでめぐりながら色々な事を教えてもらったので、次回は一つずつの島をゆっくりと観光したいと思います。離島旅行の初心者にはおすすめなツアーだと思います。

You can efficiently visit the island's attractions. They also drop you off at the airport on the way back, making it easy to join the tour even with limited time. The weather was great on the day I participated, and the view from the observation deck was absolutely stunning.
However, the tour information on your site and the voucher stated "8:45 AM meeting, 9:00 AM start," but it actually started at 9:30 AM, resulting in a nearly 40-minute wait at the bus stop. I briefly thought, "Is this special because it's Golden Week?" but since the sign and pamphlet also indicated "9:30 AM," it seems this is the norm. Therefore, I would like you to correct the scheduled times in your information.
Additionally, I took a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, but using it meant there wasn't enough time to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery (the boat time equals the time spent at Kabira Bay). Since it's the largest attraction in Ishigaki Island and undoubtedly a breathtaking viewpoint, this feels like a missed opportunity. I also thought that if the time at other locations could be extended by about five more minutes each, we could enjoy sightseeing more thoroughly.
島の名所を、効率的にまわれます。
帰りも空港でおろしてもらえるし、時間が限られていても参加しやすいツアーだと思いました。
また参加した日は天気も良く、特に展望台から観る景色は絶景で素晴らしかったです。
ただ、貴サイトでのツアー紹介(案内)記載やバウチャーでは、「8時45分集合、9時開始」となっていましたが、実際は9時半スタートで、結果、バス停で40分近く待たされました。
「今回はGWだから、特別なのかな?」と一瞬思いましたが、看板やパンフレットでも「9時半~」となっていたので、これが通常なんでしょう。
なので、案内の時間修正をしていただきたいです。
また、川平湾ではグラスボートに乗ったのですが、これを利用してしまうと、せっかくの景色をゆっくり堪能する時間がありません。(ボートの時間=川平湾での滞在時間)
石垣島最大の名所であり、間違いなく絶景のビューポイントなので、これはもったいないです。
あと、その他の場所も、それぞれ、もう5分程度ずつでも延ばしてもらえると、もっとしっかり観光できるのにと思いました

There were other tours to Taketomi Island, but since I wanted to use various modes of transportation like buses, glass-bottom boats, and water buffalo carts, I decided on this one because it was also reasonably priced. The ability to choose the return time is also appealing. However, there is another company that offers water buffalo cart tours, and when I visited Taketomi Island a few years ago, I used their service. I felt that their course options were better. That said, I think it's great that you can customize your sightseeing experience depending on the combinations you choose.
竹富島に行くツアーは他にもありましたが、せっかくなので、バスやグラスボート、水牛車など、いろいろ利用したいと思い、値段的にも安かったので決めました。
帰りの時間を決められるというのも魅力的です。
ただ、水牛車観光をやっている会社はもう一社あり、数年前に竹富島を訪れたときには、そちらを利用したのですが、これに関しては、まわるコース等、そちらの方がよかったように思います。
とはいえ、組み合わせ次第で自分にあった観光ができるのは、とてもいいと思いました。

It seems that both Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World are highly recommended by locals (later, a local person I met at Shuri Castle also suggested that I should definitely visit Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World. At that time, I had already visited, though, haha), and I was very satisfied after my visit as well.
Sefa Utaki has altars and other structures nestled in a lush forest, creating a very mystical atmosphere. The view from Mikuri towards Kudaka Island was particularly beautiful (although it was foggy that day, so I couldn't capture it well in photos, it was stunning to see with the naked eye). If there are more than 20 participants, you might be able to enter at a group rate (200 yen), but since there were 15 people in my case, the regular fee was 300 yen.
At Okinawa World, the Eisa show (from around 10:30 to 11:00) was absolutely fantastic. Photography is prohibited during the performance, so I can't share any images, but the lively dancing to the upbeat rhythm while swinging the drums left a strong impression on me. Additionally, the area with the Eisa show, along with the souvenir shops, craft beer hall, and restaurants, can be accessed without an entrance fee, making it a great deal. By the way, during my visit, the bus arrived at Okinawa World at 10:15 and departed at 11:30.
At the last stop, the Himeyuri Monument, you can listen to a guide's explanation in front of the monument and the cave. The timing was tight (there was less than 30 minutes of free time after the explanation), so I passed, but those who wish can visit the museum for an additional fee. Here, I received a coupon that could be exchanged for one Sata Andagi at the souvenir shop right in front of me.
Overall, it was a highly satisfying tour, with the guide providing explanations at various locations during the journey.
斎場御嶽やおきなわワールドは地元の人もお勧めするほどの場所のようで(後日、首里城で出会った地元の人からも斎場御嶽やおきなわワールドは是非行ったほうがいいと勧められました。その時はすでに訪問済みだったのですが・笑)、実際私も行って大満足でした。
斎場御嶽は鬱蒼と茂る森の中に祭壇などが存在しており、とても神秘的な感じがしました。特に三庫理から久高島方向の景色はとてもきれいでした(当日は霧が出ていたため写真ではうまく映せてないですが、肉眼で見たときはとてもきれいでした)。20人以上参加者がいる場合は団体料金(200円)で入れるかもしれません(私の時は15人だったので通常料金300円でした)。
おきなわワールドではエイサーショー(10時30分~11時頃まで)が何といっても素晴らしかったです。上演中は撮影禁止のためその様子をお伝えできないのですが、太鼓を振り回しながら軽快なリズムに乗って激しく踊りまわる感じがとても心に残りました。また、このエイサーショーのあるエイサー広場とお土産屋・地ビール館・レストランまでは入園料不要で入れるためとてもお得です。ちなみに私の時、バスはおきなわワールドには10時15分着、11時30分発のスケジュールでした。
最後のひめゆりの塔では、塔と壕を前にガイドの方の説明を聞くことができます。時間はタイトだった(説明終了後自由時間は30分弱)ので私はパスしましたが、希望者はそのあと別料金で資料館の見学もできます。ここでは、目の前の土産屋でサーターアンダギー1個と交換できるクーポン券をもらいました。
このほかにも移動中もその場所場所の説明をガイドの方がしてくださるなど、総じて満足度の高いツアーでした。

We traveled to Ishigaki Island for the first time as a couple. We signed up with the hope of efficiently exploring the surrounding islands.
<Iriomote Island>
On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a cruise along a river lined with mangroves. Although it was rainy, we were mostly sheltered inside the boat, so we could enjoy the experience without getting wet. I was worried because I had experienced seasickness the day before, but since it was a large boat, there was no concern about it rocking. After listening to the guide's explanation about the mangroves, we viewed a 400-year-old Sakishima Suo tree. It was magnificent.
<Yubu Island>
We rode on a smart water buffalo, and during the ride, the buffalo handler played and sang with a sanshin. It was a relaxing time. The meal prepared for us on Yubu Island was delicious, and even I, who usually can't finish my meals, ate everything. We had a little time here, so we could stroll around Yubu Island together.
<Taketomi Island>
The guide taught us how to find star sand, and we discovered a few pieces to take home as souvenirs. We also rode a water buffalo here, but it seemed that the one from Yubu Island was more hardworking, as ours didn’t move forward very quickly… haha. Taketomi Island is also a lovely place, and there were shops I wanted to visit, so I thought it would have been even better if we had more time to explore at our own pace.
<Summary>
It was a wonderful trip, and I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to visit the three islands! Having a guide allowed us to learn a lot about each island, so I recommend it for first-timers.
カップルで、初めて石垣島に旅行に行きました。
効率良く離島を巡りたいとの思いで申し込みました。
<西表島>
西表島では、左右にマングローブが広がる川をクルージング。
雨模様だったのですが、船の中だったので雨にほぼ当たることなく楽しむことができました。
前日に船酔いを体験していたので心配でしたが、大きい船だったので揺れる心配もありませんでした。
ガイドさんにマングローブの説明を聞いた後、樹齢400年のサキシマスオウノキを観覧。壮大でした。
<由布島>
賢い水牛さんに乗せてもらい、乗牛?中は牛使いの方が三線で弾き語り。
ゆったりとした時間に癒されました。
由布島でご用意頂いたご飯も美味しく、普段中々完食できない私も全て平らげました。
ここでは少し時間があり、二人で由布島内を散策できました。
<竹富島>
ガイドさんに星の砂の見つけ方を教えてもらい、いくつか発見。お土産に持って帰りました。
ここでも水牛さんに乗ったのですが、由布島の水牛さんの方が働き者らしく、
なかなか前に進みませんでした…笑
竹富島も素敵なところで入りたいお店等もあったので、
個人でゆっくり回れる時間があったらより良かったな、と思います^^
<総括>
とても良い旅で、三島を効率よく周ることができ大満足でした!
ガイドさんがいることで、その島について詳しく知ることができるので、
初めての方にはお勧めです。

The Churaumi Aquarium bus tour and three other spots is a great value. Such a low price for an all day tour. You get lunch, a small bowl of Okinawa Soba, at the Butterfly Garden, the aquarium, pineapple park, and the glass factor. We were a group of six, and at the aquarium, five of us got lost. I followed the guide (I understand Japanese) but the others (all Chinese) failed to follow. When I went back to where I last saw them, they were gone! The guide was very helpful. She helped me look for them and found three (including my husband), but the other two were still missing. She went back to the bus and found the other two, brought them back to us. Reunited! The dolphin show was very entertaining but I was eager to see the whale sharks at the aquarium. They had three whale sharks and my husband took some great photos. The other exhibits were hard to see, so many people! Chinese tourists everywhere! We spent three hours at the aquarium and then it was back to the bus. Next stop, Pineapple park, sampled different juices and baked goods. Final stop, Ryukyu glass factory. The pieces are very pretty but pricey so we spent the short time there eating purple potato ice cream, very good, you have to try it when you come to Okinawa.
It took another two hours to get back to Naha and we asked to be dropped off at Kokusaidori. Since we're all in the service industry, and because she was so helpful, we tipped the guide. There were only two things I didn't like about this tour. First, it took 15 minutes for us to walk from our hotel (Rihga Royal Gran) to the pick up hotel (Loisir). 2nd, lunch was too smal. We all could've eaten two bowls of noodles. We were all so hungry, we had the buffet dinner on the top floor of the Ryubo department store! Still, we had a good time!

Basically, I spent most of my time in the car, but I had a chance to get out three times to enjoy the scenery. The line at the cafeteria by the sea was too long, so there wasn't enough time to play.

It's inexpensive and not tiring, plus I was able to ask the guide and driver various questions, which deepened my understanding of the local area!

Had a great time on this bus tour however really wish we could have spent more time at each stop. I felt too rushed and couldn't enjoy the places as much as I would have liked. Definitely worth the price and will recommend to friends and family! A chunk of the trip was picking up and dropping off people to their hotels so the bus ride was very long but it was really convenient for us. Also you get free little gifts. We got a piece from the glass house and pineapple ice cream!

I was very satisfied with the one-day tour for 5,500 yen, both in terms of price and time savings. Moreover, both the guide and the driver were pleasant, making for a comfortable experience. The guide's sanshin performance and singing (with sign language included) were delightful, and they also encouraged us to do some exercises in the vehicle, which kept us from getting bored without being pushy. I truly felt this was what hospitality is all about. The guide's hospitality was outstanding.

I participated in the tour of the three islands: Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi for the first time.
During the first half of Golden Week, we were blessed with good weather, and the boat was completely stable, so I was worried about seasickness, but it was a comfortable tour! The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island, after the rain, showcased the vibrant green of the mangroves contrasting beautifully with the green of Nakama River, making me feel like I had wandered into a jungle. The guide stopped the boat to carefully explain about the mangroves and took us to see the area where Japan's largest Sakishima suou tree grows. It was a massive tree, about 400 years old, and I could feel its power!
On Taketomi Island and Yufu Island, we rode on a water buffalo cart while the guide provided explanations and sang with a shamisen, making the entertainment absolutely wonderful. I had zenzai at a shaved ice shop introduced by the guide. It was the most delicious shaved ice I've ever had. I was truly impressed by the guide's thoughtfulness. Thank you very much!

It was great for those without a car to be able to visit popular tourist spots for this price! I was also happy to see more people than I expected!
I was surprised to find out that the admission fees for each facility were not included, but I guess that's how it is (laughs). It was free to enter or not, and since I had visited the Peace Memorial Park before, I spent time chatting with the souvenir shop lady nearby!
On the way to the airport, I asked the guide if we could stop at the outlet and Chura-san Beach, and they kindly agreed (maybe there was enough time?). Even though it caused some inconvenience to others, I was able to get off along the way! There were others who wanted to stop as well, so it might be good to incorporate that into the tour...?
There is a shuttle bus from the outlet park to the airport, so it was easy on the way back! Thank you for turning my free time on the last day into a fun and fulfilling experience!

◾️Iriomote Island
A captivating exotic paradise.
There, a real jungle cruise unfolds that could rival Disneyland...
There's no way to compete because this is the real deal.
The explanation of the mangroves by an equally exotic lady adds color to this cruise. It was a bit disappointing that two of us had to sit separately in a three-person seat.
◾️Yubu Island
An island where people live alongside water buffalo, Yubu Island.
The power is overwhelming, and the family tree in the center of the island marks its history.
The rapidly rising idol, Anzu-chan, has a cuteness that rivals any ordinary idol. "Take a cute photo with the water buffalo," and we ended up taking a cute picture together. Without hesitation, we purchased it for 1,300 yen.
We were thrilled by the many beautiful plants and butterflies‼︎
The brown sugar rum raisin ice cream from the beachside shop is exquisite. You must try it at least once.
◾️Taketomi Island
An island that preserves the good old traditions, Taketomi Island.
The sightseeing guide by the water buffalo, Bansaku, stirs the travelers' emotions. It was a bit disappointing that there wasn't enough time to explore the tourist spots on foot.
I only had time to stop by Kondoi Beach, which impresses beach lovers nationwide; I wished for more time to explore. It would have been even better if we could have chosen to rent bicycles.
◾️Overall
It can be summed up in one word: regrettable.
While the sightseeing was efficient and covered the main points, I wanted something that would leave a lasting impression. Something. When people are moved, the price becomes irrelevant.
If I were to put a price on this cruise, 8,000 yen would be reasonable. Additionally, a shuttle service back to the hotel should be included.
I wish for further success and growth, and I conclude with this note.
◾️西表島
魅惑のエキゾチックいりおもて。
そこには、ディズニーランド顔負けのリアルジャングルクルーズが広がっていた…
勝てる訳がない、何故ならこちらが本物なのだから。
同じくエキゾチックなお姉さんによるマングローブの説明がこのクルーズに彩りを添える。席が3人掛けで2人別れてしまったのはいささか残念だった。
◾️由布島
水牛と共に生きる島、由布島。
その迫力は圧巻、島の中央に備える家系図にはその歴史が刻まれている。
人気急上昇アイドル、あんずちゃん。そんじょそこらのアイドルには負けない可愛さがある。『キレイに撮れ水牛』、と我々まで一緒に可愛く写真を撮ってしまった。迷わず1300円で購入である。
たくさんの美しい植物や、蝶々に感激‼︎
浜辺のアイスクリーム屋さんの黒糖ラムレーズンは絶品。一度ご賞味あれ。
◾️竹富島
古き良き伝統を守る島、竹富島。
水牛の萬作による観光案内は人々の旅情をくすぐる。まわった観光名所を自分の足で回れる時間が無かったのは少々残念だ。
全国のビーチ通を唸らせるコンドイビーチも寄るだけ、探索する時間が欲しかった。レンタサイクルが選べたら尚良かった。
◾️全体
惜しい、の一言に尽きる。
サクサク観光でポイントは抑えている。が激烈に感動する何かが欲しいのだ。何かが。人は感動すればプライスはどうでも良くなる。
もし今回のクルーズにプライスをつけるとしたら8000円が妥当であろう。また、帰りはホテルまでの送迎をつけるべきである。
さらなる飛躍、健闘を祈って末筆とする。
