All Reviews for Bus Tours

I visited the Churaumi Aquarium again because I went there 30 years ago. It was crowded with families. The Ocean Expo Park, where the Churaumi Aquarium is located, is spacious. Since the time allocated for the aquarium is about 140 minutes, it's a good idea to consider your time management while walking around. Manzamo was well-maintained along the route. Nago Pineapple Park was filled with many interesting sculptures, which was enjoyable. Since lunch is not included in the course, I think it's a good idea to bring something like rice balls. The dining places and food trucks at tourist spots were very crowded, and there wasn't enough time to eat. I bought rice balls at a convenience store and brought them with me. I participated in a plan that included a barbecue dinner. They cooked it right in front of me, and it was delicious.

30年前に美ら海水族館に行ったので、また行こうと思い美ら海水族館行きました。家族連れでいっぱいでした。美ら海水族館のある海洋博公園は広いです。美ら海水族館持ち時間140分位ですので時間配分を考慮して歩くと良いです。万座毛は順路が整備されてました。名護パイナップルパークはオブジェがいっぱいで楽しめました。昼食がコ−スに含まれて無いので、おにぎり等を持参すると良いと思います。観光地の食堂、キッチンカ−等は人がいっぱいで食べる時間有りません。私はおにぎりをコンビニで買い持って行きました。夕食焼肉ディナ-付プランで参加しました。目の前で焼いてくれて、美味しくいただきました。

On the day of my visit, it was unfortunately cloudy, but I wasn't caught in heavy rain, so I was able to enjoy myself to some extent. I explored Taketomi Island by bicycle, but I felt that I could have enjoyed it even more if I had a bit more time. The ocean was very beautiful. I definitely recommend you go and see it!

当日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、大雨には降られず、それなりに楽しめました。
竹富島は自転車で回りましたが、時間が少なくもう少しあればなお良かったかなと思います。
海はとても綺麗でした。是非行ってみてください。

Just the two of us, my son and I. Since I was anxious about driving a rental car myself, I looked for a bus tour and chose this course because I wanted to visit various places. There were many tourists from overseas participating as well, but no one spoke loudly on the bus, allowing us to relax in a quiet atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

息子と2人。レンタカーで自分で運転するのも不安だったためバスツアーを探し、色々回りたかった私はこのコースを選びました。
海外からの観光客の方もたくさん参加していらっしゃいましたが、バスの中で大きな声で話すこともなく、静かな車内でゆったり出来ました。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

This was my third visit to Yufujima, and since I visited in different seasons each time, I was able to enjoy exploring the island. There are also beachside cafes on the island, so you can spend a relaxing time there.

今回で3回目の由布島観光でしたが、それぞれ訪れた季節が違うため楽しく島内を見ることが出来ました。島内のには浜辺のカフェもあるのでゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ます。

I participated in February, and the weather was cloudy and very cold. The other participants were dressed lightly and looked very cold. It rained during the mangrove tour, but it was still quite nice. For lunch, I thought it would have been better if there were more varieties of dessert.

2月に参加し、天気が曇り空、とても寒い日で、他の参加者さんは薄着でとても寒そうでした。ただマングローブ見学の時雨が降ってたけどそれなりに良かったです。ランチはデザートがもっと種類があればいいかなと思いました。

The pre-tour guidance was well understood, and we were able to tour efficiently without any unnecessary waiting time. Each guide provided appropriate and interesting introductions to the landmarks. One disappointing aspect was that we couldn't fully enjoy the tidal flats due to the high tide. Next time, I would like to visit during low tide. Thank you very much.

事前のガイダンスもよく理解でき、無駄な待ち時間もなく効率的に周遊できました。各ガイド案内も適切かつ面白く名所等を紹介していただきました。一つ残念なことは満潮と重なったため干潟を十分に楽しめませんでした。今度は干潮時に訪れたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I traveled between Yubu Island and Iriomote Island and rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo were adorable and it was the best experience.

Also, while moving around Iriomote Island by bus, the driver was entertaining and had a clear voice, making it a great experience as well.

由布島と西表島の間の移動と竹富島内で水牛車に乗りました。水牛も可愛らしく最高でした。
また西表島内はバスでの移動でしたが、その際の運転手の方が話も面白く声も聞きやすく最高でした。

The weather was nice, and the mangrove tour and water buffalo cart experience became great memories. I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, but I felt a bit unsatisfied.

天気も良くマングローブ遊覧、水牛車体験と良い思い出になりました。竹富島はレンタサイクルを借りましたが、少し物足りなさを感じました。

The guide and the driver were both kind and it was fun! I was debating whether to rent a car, but I'm glad I went with the tour. Also, I wish we could have had soba for lunch. Please consider this for the future.

ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切で楽しかったです！
レンタカーか悩んだのですが、ツアーでよかったです。あとは、お昼はそばがよかったなぁ。今後ご検討ください。

I went to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The buffaloes were so cute. On the way there, an older man played the shamisen and sang, and on the way back, a woman did the same. Taketomi Island was free to explore. I rode an electric assist bicycle and enjoyed the view of the sea. We went to a café and had lychee juice and guava juice. The café was run by a French woman. I took pictures with the buffaloes on Yubu Island, and I got some really nice photos. On Iriomote Island, we saw a lot of mangroves from a cruise ship.

水牛車で由布島に行きました。牛さんが可愛いね。行きはおじさん、帰りは女性が三味線と歌を聴きました。竹富島はフリーでした。電動アシスト自転車に乗り海を見ました。カフェに行き、ライチジュースとグアバジュースを飲みました。カフェはフランス🇫🇷人の奥様がいましたね。由布島で牛さんと写真撮りました。とても良い写真が撮れました。西表島はクルーズ船でマングローブを沢山見ました。

About 80% of the participants were foreigners. As a result, it was noisy, the scent of perfume was strong, and there were requests to sit in the front seats. The young guide seemed to be used to it, but it looked challenging for them. There was also a guide who was not Japanese, speaking in both English and Japanese, but they spoke so quickly that I couldn't really understand what they were saying. However, their effort was definitely conveyed.

However, if you are going with parents or elderly people, I think a tour with only Japanese participants on a Japanese-speaking bus would be better. The content of the tour was well-organized and efficient.

8割外国人でした。なので、うるさい、香水の匂いがきつい、前の席に座りたい、だの、若いガイドさんも慣れてはいたのでしょうが大変そうでした。また日本人ではないガイドさんが英語と日本語ではなしてくれるのですが、早口で何を言っているのかよく分からなかったです。でも一生懸命さだけは伝わりました。
しかし、親や高齢者と行くなら、日本人のみのバスで日本語のツアーのほうがいいかなと思いました。ツアーの内容は効率よく回れてよかったです。

It was raining heavily, but that added to the charm, and it was great. You can rent bicycles if you pay, and they sell rain gear too, so there were no problems at all!

大雨だったけど、それもまた味が出ていて、良かった、自転車もお金払えば借りれるし、雨具も売ってるし、何も問題ナッシんギュー！

The bus guide's stories, the sound of the sanshin, the songs, and the kamishibai made the bus ride enjoyable. I also learned some hand dances. Just meeting the bus guide was enough to make me very satisfied.
The limestone cave was humid. I was moved to see it up close. It was a mystical space.

バスガイドさんの話や三線の音色、歌に紙芝居とバスの中は楽しかったです。手踊りも教えて頂きました。バスガイドさんに会えただけで十分満足できました。
鍾乳洞は蒸し暑かったです。間近に見ることが出来て感動しました。神秘的な空間でした。

During the journey, you shared various histories of Okinawa, which was very educational. If I have the opportunity to visit Okinawa again, I would like to go with Veltra.

道中、沖縄の様々な歴史を話してくださり、とても勉強になりました。
沖縄に行く機会があったら、またveltraさんにしたいです。

I participated in an island-hopping tour from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island.

On Iriomote Island, the bus ride was enjoyable thanks to the fun island guide provided by the bus driver. We took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, where I strolled around and felt my heart healed by the relaxing nature.

During the mangrove cruise, we happened to catch the beginning of low tide, allowing us to see the mangroves in their natural state, which was very nice. On Taketomi Island, I explored the village and was moved by the feeling of Okinawa.

石垣島から西表島、由布島、竹富島への離島巡りに参加しました
西表島でのバス移動は、ばすのドライバーの楽しい島の案内、水牛車に乗って由布島へ、由布島での散策は、のんびり自然とに触れて心が癒されました。
マングローブ遊覧では、丁度干潮が始まり、マングローブの本来の姿を観ることができ、とても良かったです。竹富島では、集落をみて、沖縄を感じ感動したした。

It was an efficiently packed tour for the whole day. The photo is a commemorative shot with a water buffalo on Taketomi Island. It became a wonderful memory.

1日盛りだくさんのツアーで効率的に回れました。写真は竹富島での水牛さんとの記念撮影。良い思い出となりました。

The weather was great, and I had a very enjoyable time. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting. The glass-bottom boat allowed us to see calm seas and crystal-clear water, where we encountered many fish. I won't forget the color of the ocean. It was a wonderful experience.

お天気にも恵まれ、とても楽しい時間でした。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、面白かったです。グラスボートは海も穏やかで水も透き通っていてたくさんの魚たちに出会えました。海の色は忘れられません。とても素敵な体験でした。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. The islands had their own unique characteristics, and the rural feel was also very appealing.

It would be amazing to see the Iriomote cat.

天気に恵まれてとても楽しかったです
その島々の特徴があり田舎感がまた魅力がありました


イリオモテヤマネコが見れたら最高です

The beaches of Taketomi Island are so beautiful that they seem unreal. The bus guide on Iriomote Island was interesting and great!

竹富島のビーチがこの世のものとは思えないほどキレイ。西表島のバスガイドさん、話が面白く良かったです！

It was very nice to cross to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart. The water buffalo were cute, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was a bit disappointing that there were few flowers since it wasn't the season for them, but I was able to take my time exploring places like the butterfly house. I think it would have been even better if I could have done some sightseeing on Iriomote Island as well.

水牛車で由布島へ渡るのがとても良かったです。
水牛も可愛いし、説明も分かりやすかったです。
由布島も季節ではなかったので花が少なかったのは残念でしたが、蝶々のハウスなどゆっくり見学する事が出来ました。
西表島の観光もできればもっとよかったと思いました。

The guide advised that if you want to have a meal at the Churaumi Aquarium within a limited time, it's more efficient to buy food from the shop rather than entering a restaurant. We enjoyed our meal on a bench before the aquarium tour and the dolphin show, and even with two and a half hours of sightseeing, we had plenty of fun. The view of Kouri Island was beautiful. It was a relief for me, as someone who doesn't drive, since it's a bit difficult to get to.

ガイドさんが限られた時間内で美ら海水族館で食事をとるならレストランに入るより売店で食べ物を購入した方が効率的とアドバイスして下さいました。
美ら海水族館の館内見学、イルカショー見学の前にベンチで食事、その後イルカショー見学で2時間半の見学時間でも充分楽しめました。古宇利島の景色は素敵でした。行きにくい場所なので車を運転しない私に有り難かったです

We were able to efficiently visit three islands, and the explanations made it a fulfilling day. The water buffalo was also working hard, and I felt like cheering for it. Keep it up!

手際よく3島巡れて説明もしてくれて充実した一日でした
水牛も頑張ってて応援したくなります
がんばってー

I was glad I could visit the main attractions without having to drive or research where to go, thanks to this tour! The guide shared a lot of information about Ishigaki Island, which was also really great.

運転したりどこ行くか調べなくても、このツアーのおかげでメインどころ行けて良かった！
ガイドさんが石垣島のこと沢山お話ししてくれて、それもすごく良かったです。

The mangroves of Iriomote Island and the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island were amazing. The water buffalo cart ride, in particular, was a wonderful experience. The bus driver's stories while we traveled from place to place were also enjoyable.

On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle for free and explored the area. While it's possible to walk around, I recommend biking since time is limited in the afternoon. This tour, which doesn't waste any time, comes highly recommended.

西表島のマングローブ、由布島への水牛車、最高でした。
特に水牛車は素敵な時間でした。
場所場所を回るバスの運転手さんのお話も楽しかったです。
竹富島では、フリーで自転車を借りて回りました。徒歩でも回れますが午後からの限られた時間ですので自転車がおすすめです。
無駄な時間を取られることないこのツアーはおすすめです。

I was glad to be able to efficiently visit so many places. The guide provided information in Japanese, Korean, and English. There wasn't much explanation beyond confirming the meeting place, meeting time, and schedule. Since the admission fee for the Churaumi Aquarium is included, I think it's a good deal. Personally, I felt that two and a half hours at the Churaumi Aquarium was enough, and the rest of the time felt a bit rushed. Especially at American Village, it’s so large that I thought I wouldn’t make it back in time if I stopped for a meal, so I gave up on that.

これだけの場所に効率良く回れて良かった。ガイドさんの案内は日本語、韓国語、英語でした。集合場所、集合時間、スケジュールの確認くらいで特に説明はありません。美ら海水族館の入場料込みなのでお得な内容かと思います。個人的には美ら海水族館は２時間半で十分、あとはちょっと駆け足だった感があります。特にアメリカンビレッジは広いので食事していたら集合時間に間に合わないと思いあきらめました。

I leisurely rode a water buffalo along the peaceful row of houses while listening to island songs, and it brought me to tears. It was a 30-minute stroll, but I wanted to ride more. The stories from the lady were enjoyable, and the shamisen songs were wonderful. I definitely want to go again!

のどかな家並みをのんびり
水牛さんに乗り　島唄を聞きながら
涙出ました
30分の散策でしたが
もっと乗りたいと思いました
お姉さんのお話も楽しくて
三味線の歌も素敵で
絶対また行きたいです

Saijō Gūtak is a very mystical place where I felt a sacred atmosphere that can't be conveyed just through a brochure. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to take another hour to relax there. The guide's live singing was also great.

斎場御嶽はとても神秘的な場所でパンフレットだけでは伝わらない神聖な空気を感じました。欲を言うともう１時間ゆっくりしたかったなぁ。ガイドさんの生歌も良かったです。

I was able to efficiently tour the attractions in northern Okinawa in one day. At American Village, I was able to see the beach at sunset!

沖縄北部の名所を1日で効率よく観光できました。アメリカンビレッジでは夕暮れのビーチを観ることができました！

Although it was early in the morning, I was able to fully experience the nature of Okinawa in a relatively short time until noon. The guide's stories on the bus were also very interesting!

朝は早めですが、お昼までの比較的短い時間の中で、沖縄の自然を存分に感じることができました。バスの車内でのガイドさんのお話も非常に面白かったです！

On the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, you can fully immerse yourself in untouched nature. After being pulled by a water buffalo to Yubu Island, you can enjoy lunch, as well as mini hiking and shopping. On Taketomi Island, you can search for star sand and explore traditional villages. I believe that experiencing all of this in about eight hours is something special to the tour. Additionally, on Taketomi Island, you can choose your preferred way of sightseeing.

西表島のマングローブクルーズでは手つかずの自然を全身に浴びることができます。水牛に引かれて由布島へ移動したら、昼食をいただき、ミニハイキングやショッピングも楽しめます。竹富島では星の砂を探したり昔ながらの集落を見て回ることができます。これだけの内容を約８時間で堪能できるのはツアーならではだと思います。また、竹富島ではご自身の好きな観光方法を選択できます。
