All Reviews for Bus Tours

We had an amazing experience at the aquarium it is a long bus ride but there is a lot to see on the way there including the beautiful ocean once at the aquarium seeing the whale sharks was magnificent watching them feed the whale sharks was absolutely amazing and to think that they actually release them back into the ocean after they’re done studying them is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

I have read good reviews for this trip and just nice that we lucky to get the rebate ( 2 for 1) promo.. So we book the trip!!!

Meeting point : The pick up point is not clearly indicate .. We just know that is at the hotel.. We reached early and scare that we might miss the bus .. Lucky we ask the hotel lobby, yes is the correct place... I suggest that can take picture where is the pick up point and shown at booking page is the best.. Attendance was smooth and easy.. Puncture and fast.. The tour leader couldn't speak english .. But anyway we still OK ..

Lunch at the restaurant opp the sweet potato shop is great.. The udon is nice !

Everyplace given time is just nice except that I prefer the churaumi aquarium to have longer time..
The tour leader bring us to the entry , give us the tickets and also give clear instructions where is the meet up point .. I thk 150min is not enough because what if is elderly ? They have no enough time to look around .. And walk back the carpark is a super long distance for them ..

Pineapple park: it a just mini park wit shopping area .. Time spent here is just nice .. Those do not want shopping can go take pictures outside the shop ..

Overall : it is a good experience .. Those who do not drive can join this tour!!!
We will recommend this to my friends and families ...

I couldn't go cycling or walking around Taketomi due to the bad weather, so it was great to be able to leisurely explore on a water buffalo. The price included the round-trip boat fare, the water buffalo tour, and transportation to the hotel, which made it very affordable, and I was extremely satisfied. The staff who assisted us were kind and attentive, making for a fun trip.

悪天候の中での竹富観光でサイクリングも散策も出来なかったので
水牛に乗ってゆっくり散策できてよかったです。
往復の船代に水牛観光とホテルまでの送迎までついての価格で
安く利用できたので大満足です。
対応してくれた人も親切丁寧で楽しい旅行ができました

This tour lasts half a day and provides transportation to Naha Airport around 1 PM, making it an excellent option for sightseeing during the time before your flight.

The tour uses a shared bus, and everyone first goes to the Sefa Utaki. After that, participants split at the Okinawa World parking lot, with some heading to Okinawa World and others to the Valley of Gangala. The meeting point is back at the Okinawa World parking lot, where you will be transported to the airport and other locations.

However, the bus tour does not include entrance fees for the attractions, so you will need to purchase tickets separately, which can be a bit of a hassle.

I went to the Valley of Gangala, and it was great to participate in this tour because you can only enter the Valley of Gangala with a guided tour, and they coordinate the departure times. Okinawa World was also fun, but the Valley of Gangala tour was incredibly enjoyable, and I’m very glad I participated.

　このツアーは、半日で終わり、およそ13時に那覇空港へと送迎してくれるものなので、空港から帰る時間を利用して観光するには、非常にもってこいのツアーだと思います。
　また、ツアーは混載バスで、最初は全員で斎場御嶽に行き、その後、おきなわワールドの駐車場で、おきなわワールドへ行く人と、ガンガラーの谷へ行く人に分かれます。そして、集合場所は、先ほど分かれた、おきなわワールドの駐車場に集合し、空港等へと送迎してもらうというスタイルです。
　ただ、バスツアーに観光地の入場料は入っていないために、別途入場料が必要で、個別にチケットを購入する手間があるのは少し面倒な所でした。
　今回私は、ガンガラーの谷へと行きましたが、ガンガラーの谷はガイドツアーではないと入場することができないことや、ツアーの出発時間も合わせてくれるために、このツアーに参加して非常に良かったです。おきなわワールドも楽しかったのですが、こちらのガンガラーの谷ツアーも非常に楽しく、参加して大正解でした。

We participated as a family of 6 adults and 3 children in March 2019. The timing was just right, and there were no issues at all. The weather was also nice.

大人6人子供3人の家族で参加しました。2019年3月に参加しました。
時間などもちょうどよく、問題は一つもありません。
天気もよかったです。

I am satisfied both in terms of time and content.
I think the price is reasonable as well.
However, I wished the stay time at each destination could be a bit longer.
In that case, it would be better if the meeting time for the tour started a little earlier.

時間的にも内容的にも満足です。
価格的にも適正だと思います。
ただ訪問先の滞在時間が　それぞれもう少し長くあればいいなと思いました。
その分　ツアーの始まりの集合時間がもう少し早くもいいと思います。

The aquarium was a wonderful experience it’s just amazing to see whale sharks in captivity I hope they do catch and release like what I was told The aquarium by far was the best aquarium I have been to little bit of a long bus ride but the scenery along way spray nice all in all it was worth the adventure.

I was very pleased that I could efficiently see the southern part of Okinawa in half a day. The bus guide explained everything clearly, which made it enjoyable and easy to understand. By the way, the limestone cave, which I didn't have high expectations for, was impressive. It's definitely worth seeing.

沖縄の南部を効率よく半日で見る事ができたのでとても良かったです。バスのガイドさんもきちんと説明してくれたのでよくわかり楽しかったです。そうそうあまり期待していなかった鍾乳洞が感動的でした。これは必見の価値ありです。

Even on a half-day tour, it was just the right amount of sightseeing.
The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was wonderful.
The beautiful sea and coral reefs were stunning.
I was thrilled to see sea turtles.
The bus guide's sanshin performance was also fantastic.

半日コースでも、ちょうどいい感じで観光できました。
川平湾でのグラスボート。
綺麗な海にサンゴ礁。
海ガメにも会えて感激でした。
バスガイドさんの三線も最高でした。

The tour covered several highlights of Ishigaki Island in about five hours. Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather, allowing for great sightseeing. The sea was very beautiful. We took a glass-bottom boat with the operator, and since there was no wind, the waves were minimal, making it easy to enjoy the fish and coral. However, I couldn't take good photos because the reflections on the glass bottom made it difficult. It's best to just see it in person.

I thought the flowers were susuki (Japanese pampas grass), but the guide told us they were sugarcane flowers. Additionally, we learned some local dialects of Ishigaki Island, which made the sightseeing even more enjoyable.

石垣島の見どころを何か所か、5時間ほどで回るツアーでした。
幸い天気に恵まれて、良い観光が出来ました。
海はとても綺麗でした。OPのグラスボートに乗りましたが、風もなかったので、波も少なく綺麗に、魚や珊瑚を堪能できました。写真は底のガラスに反射した影が映るので、うまく撮影できませんでした。見るに限ります。
　ススキの花が咲いていると思いましたが、ガイドさんが「サトウキビの花だ」と教えてくださいました。その外にも石垣島の方言も教えて頂き、楽しく観光ができました。

We were able to efficiently visit various places, mainly the Churaumi Aquarium. I feel like we could make better use of our time compared to using a rental car. With the steak dinner plan, we got off the bus and enjoyed steak at Sam's Steakhouse. It was fun to watch the cooking performance right in front of us.

美ら海水族館メインに、効率よくいろいろ行けました。
レンタカーを使うより時間が有効に使える気がします。ステーキディナープランで、バスを降りてからステーキハウスサムズでステーキをいただきました。目の前で調理してくれパフォーマンスもあって楽しかったです。

The day I participated, the winds were strong and the waves were high, so there were cancellations to places like Iriomote Island, but Taketomi Island was operating. The water buffalo cart experience, with the driver's talk and the island songs played on the sanshin, allowed us to move slowly over a short distance, making it very soothing and giving us a real sense of the island.

I returned to Ishigaki on the 5 PM ferry, and time flew by. The rental bicycle shop is located alongside the water buffalo cart reception, so it's easy to enjoy cycling after the buffalo cart experience. The staff at the rental bicycle shop might seem a bit particular about their language, but they are nice once you start talking to them. This kind of distance feels unique to the island, and it even gave me a sense of being liberated from the rigidity of everyday life.

While I ended up talking about Taketomi Island, my schedule was stress-free. If I had to say anything, it's that time passes quickly, so next time I want to stay overnight and be healed by Taketomi Island.

参加日は風が強く波が高かったので、西表島などは欠航でしたが、竹富島は運航していました。
水牛車は運転手さんのトーク、三線を使った島唄、短い距離をゆーっくりと進むので島を感じることができ、非常に癒されます。
午後発の17時便で石垣に戻りましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。レンタサイクルのお店は水牛車の受付と併設しているので水牛車体験後もスムーズにサイクリングを楽しめます。レンタサイクルの店員さんは、言葉づかいが気になる人は気になりそうですが、話すといい人です。これくらいの距離感も島ならではかと、普段のガチガチの生活から解放されるような感じさえ受けました。
竹富島の話になってしまいましたが、スケジュールはストレスなく過ごせました。強いて言うならあっという間に時間が過ぎるので、今度は泊まりで来て竹富島に癒されたいです。

You can visit the attractions you want just by paying for the bus charter fee. Additionally, a guide accompanies you and provides thorough sightseeing information. It's basically a free activity, but it was a fulfilling tour. By the way, my recommendation this time is the limestone cave. I was completely unprepared for it, so the experience was even more moving.

バスのチャ−タ−代金だけで行きたかった観光ができます。また、ガイドさんが付ききちんと観光案内までしてくれます。基本自由行動ですが充実感たっぷりのツアーでした。そうそう私の今回のおすすめは鍾乳洞です。全く期待していなかっただけに感動もひとしおでした。

This time, I booked a round-trip ferry from Ishigaki Island's ferry terminal to Taketomi Island, along with a glass-bottom boat tour, a bus tour around the island, and a water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island. The course was well organized, so it was great.

今回、竹富島観光するのに、石垣島離島ターミナルから竹富島までの往復フェリーと竹富島でのグラスボードと島内バス観光と水牛観光を予約しました。コースも段取りよく回れたので良かったです。

The time allocation for the course and the options were great. I would like to use it again when I come back. Thank you very much.

コースの時間配分、選択といいよかったです。また来たときは利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I’m from Thailand and took this tour with my friend on February 3rd, my chose this tour because we didn’t have a car and saw this tour online with good reviews. On the day we took the tour it started right on time with friendly staff and comfortable ride on the bus. Everything on the schedule was accurate, only negative part was guide not able to speak English but was very helpful to make us comfortable. We love the experience will definitely come back again with friends and family to take this tour again.

It was so much fun! I'm glad I chose this tour. The service, the course, and the content were all great. Of course, you can easily visit Taketomi Island on your own, but the tour is definitely more efficient. I highly recommend it!

超楽しかった！
このツアーにしてよかったと思う。
対応もコースも内容も。
勿論、個人でも気軽に竹富島に行けるが、やはりツアーのほうが効率よく回ることができますね〜
オススメする！

We participated as a family of three (including a one-year-old child). I think it's easy to join since they pick you up from various hotels. The beach at Kouri Island was incredibly beautiful and left me in awe. However, there is limited free time, so we only had enough time to take some photos at the beach and look at a few souvenirs. Next time, I would like to visit Heart Rock and the tower as well.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time to explore at a leisurely pace, even with a child, and we were able to see the dolphin show. We also enjoyed visiting various major spots. Thank you!

家族3人（1歳の子供含む）で参加しました。いろんなホテルにお迎えに来てくれるので、参加しやすいと思います。古宇利島のビーチがとにかくキレイで感動しました。ただ自由時間が少ないのでビーチで写真を撮って、お土産を少し見るくらいしか時間がありません。次回はハートロックやタワーの方も行ってみたいです。
美ら海水族館は時間がたっぷりあるので、子連れでもゆっくり回れましたし、イルカのショーも見る事が出来ました。その他も主要スポットを色々回れて満喫出来ました。ありがとうございました！

I tried the glass-bottom boat recommended by the guide, and it was incredibly beautiful—what a surprise! Unfortunately, the weather was a bit cloudy, but the beauty of the underwater scenery was truly amazing. There was also a performance of the sanshin on the bus, making for a wonderful experience in Ishigaki Island!

ガイドさんオススメのグラスボード乗ってみたら、すんごくキレイでビックリ！
あいにくお天気は薄曇りでしたが、海中の美しさはとても素晴らしいかったです。
バスの中では三線の演奏もあり石垣島を満喫‼︎

The hotel provided a shuttle service, which was very convenient! The main purpose of my visit was to ride a water buffalo from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. The guide sang Okinawan songs on the sanshin, making it a dreamy escape from reality! On the last stop at Taketomi Island, we were also guided around the island by water buffalo, and I was very satisfied with the double water buffalo experience.

For the return boat, I could choose between the 4 PM and 5 PM departures on the spot, so after getting off the water buffalo, we decided to go to Kaiji Beach, which was also convenient and relaxed! If I could have applied for a rental bicycle right there, I might have been able to explore a bit more.

It was a very meaningful day!

ホテルへ送迎があり、とても楽チンでしたー！
訪問のメインの目的、水牛に乗って西表島から由布島まで行きました。ガイドさんは三線で沖縄の唄を歌ってくれて現実を離れうっとり‼️最後の竹富島でも水牛で島内を案内してくれてダブル水牛に大満足でした。
帰りの船は4時と5時の便を、その場で決められるので水牛下りてからカイジ浜まで行くことになったのでここも焦らず便利でした！レンタサイクルもその場で申し込めたらもう少し足を伸ばせたかな。
とっても有意義な1日でした！

I arrived at Seifa Utaki early in the morning before the entrance time, so it was great to be able to see it slowly without other tour guests around.

The guide's explanations were clear and kind. I bought the recommended Tannafakuru in Naha City! It was simple and delicious.

せーふぁーうたきには朝一番で入場時間前には到着していたので、
他のツアー客がいなくゆっくり見ることができて良かったです。

ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく親切でした。
ガイドさんのおすすめのタンナファクルーを那覇市内で購入しました！
素朴で美味しかったです。

I found that the round-trip ferry fare and the water buffalo cart tour to Taketomi Island can be quite expensive. However, this plan included those costs, allowing us to enjoy it at a reasonable price. We took the 1 PM ferry, and although we couldn't choose a morning option, Taketomi Island is relatively small, so a half-day tour was sufficient.

竹富島へは、往復の乗船料金や水牛車観光などを調べていると結構高くつくことが分かりました。
しかしながら、こちらのプランではそれらが含まれ、安価に楽しめました。
乗船は午後１時のプランで、午前は選択できなかったものの、竹富島は比較的狭い島で、半日観光で十分でした。

I used the service on the afternoon of my arrival day. I took a flight that arrived at Ishigaki Airport at 12:30, and after quickly moving to the city and dropping off my luggage at the hotel, there wasn't much time before the meeting time, but I was glad I made it in time. This was my second time on Ishigaki Island, but my first visit was decades ago, and I remember using the regular sightseeing bus then as well. I recall visiting the Tomb of the Chinese and Kabira Bay, but the Tomb of the Chinese was under restoration during my first visit, so it was quite beautiful this time. It was also my first time riding a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. On the glass-bottom boat, I saw beautiful seas, coral reefs, colorful fish, and even sea turtles. Additionally, the shop we stopped by for tea time had a nice atmosphere, and I don't remember exploring the primeval forest before, so that was a new experience for me. I had a great time.

到着日の午後に利用しました。12時半に石垣空港に着く飛行機ですぐに市内に移動し、ホテルに荷物を預けたら集合時間まであまり時間がありませんでしたが、間に合ってよかったです。石垣島は2回目なのですが、1回目は何十年も前でその時も定期観光バスを利用したので、唐人墓と川平湾に行ったのは覚えていますが、唐人墓は前来た時は修復前だったので今回かなりきれいになっていたし、川平湾でグラスボートに乗ったのは初めてです。グラスボートでは、きれいな海にサンゴ礁、色とりどりの魚にウミガメも見れました。あと、ティータイムに立ち寄ったお店も雰囲気があったし、原生林?の散策も前はした覚えがないので、初体験でした。とても楽しかったです。

Although I was a bit anxious about the bus meeting point, it was easy to find. However, since many tour buses were arriving, I felt nervous until my bus showed up.

During the journey to our destination, the guide provided information about Okinawa and the destination, which enhanced my enjoyment.

We had to choose between the Valley of Gangala and Okinawa World, but since they are located in the same area, it would have been even better if we could visit both.

The Valley of Gangala has quite a high entrance fee, so compared to the cost and time of going individually, I think the tour bus is a great deal.

バス待ち合わせ場所に不安があったもののすぐわかる場所でした。
ただ、何台もツアーバスがやってくるので、自分のバスが到着するまでドキドキしました。

目的地に向かうまでの間、ガイドさんが沖縄について、目的地について、ガイドをしてくれたので、楽しみがより深められました。

ガンガラーの谷か、おきなわワールドか、どちらか選ぶのですが、場所が同じところにあるので両方行ければ、なおよかったです。

ガンガラーの谷は入場するのに結構費用もかかるので、個人で行く費用と時間に比べるとツアーバスはかなりお得だと思います。

The sightseeing tour in a clean, large bus was comfortable despite the low price, and the weather was clear. There were only a few participants, and both the driver and the guide were friendly, making the experience truly enjoyable. I am very satisfied. Thank you!

快晴の中、低料金にもかかわらずきれいな大型バスでの観光は、快適でした。参加人数も少なく、ドライバーさんもガイドさんもフレンドリーで、本当に気持ちよく観光できました。大満足です。ありがとうございました。

I was satisfied because it was cheap with the ferry and water buffalo! I was able to take pictures with the cows, and the guide sang a song, which was soothing! I really felt like I was in Ishigaki!

フェリーと水牛付きで安かったので満足です！牛と写真撮れたり、案内のお兄さんが歌を歌ってくれて癒されました！石垣に来たって感じがしました！

I thought there would be a larger number of people in one vehicle than I expected, but it was enjoyable and friendly, which was great. The staff were all very approachable and nice as well.

思っていたよりも一台に大人数かなと思いましたが、和気あいあいと楽しくて良かったです。
スタッフの方も皆さん気さくで良かったです。

It might be the season, but there were only half the number of people on the bus, so one person could use two seats, and the free time was set just right, which made me very satisfied.

時期が時期かもしれないけど、バスの半分しか人数いなくて、1人ふたつ席使えたり、自由時間の設定時間がちょうどよくて、大満足でした。

I wanted to explore freely on my own, and I recommend this for those who feel the same! I used a bicycle, and there weren't many steep hills, which made it essential for getting around. In the summer, it gets hot and you sweat, so staying hydrated is crucial.

一人で自由に周りたいと思って利用しましたが、そういった方にはおすすめです！自転車を利用しましたが急な坂も少なく回るには欠かせなかったです。夏は暑く汗をかくので水分はかかせませんね。

The weather was bad, so the points where you could see the beautiful scenery lacked impact. It's better not to have high expectations for lunch. It's a shame that there is only a round tour available in the morning. The guide's stories and songs were very good.

天気が悪かったので、せっかくの絶景が見られるポイントも感動がなく。
ランチは期待しない方が良いです。
午前発は一周ツアーしかないのが残念。
ガイドさんのお話や歌はとても良かったです。
