Okinawa
I thoroughly enjoyed the trekking at Daishi Forest Mountain. Since there were only six participants, we had plenty of time in our itinerary. The guide's talk was enjoyable, and the bus ride was fun as well.
大石林山トレッキングを堪能できました。
参加者が6名しかいなかったので行程に余裕がありました。
ガイドさんのトークが楽しくバスの移動も楽しかったです。
The northern region is recommended as it can only be accessed by rental car.
北部はレンタカーでしか行けないのでお勧めです。
It was an incredibly fun and unforgettable experience! In the morning, we paddled through the mangroves in a canoe, enjoying the quiet and mysterious mangrove forest. After that, we went trekking to see a waterfall. The power and beauty of the waterfall were breathtaking. It felt like we were on an adventure!
In the afternoon, we took a water buffalo cart to tour Yubu Island. It truly is a place worthy of being called a southern paradise, with flowers and butterflies that were beautifully picturesque, allowing us to fully experience the richness of nature. The gelato, in particular, was exquisite, refreshing both body and mind.
Additionally, our guide was very friendly and easy to talk to, providing detailed explanations about the flora and fauna along the way. Even for someone like me who doesn’t exercise much, the activity level was just right, resulting in a very fulfilling day. I thoroughly enjoyed the nature and was extremely satisfied with the tour.
最高に楽しい忘れられない思い出となりました!午前中は、マングローブの中をカヌーで進み、静かで神秘的なマングローブの森を楽しみました。その後はトレッキングで滝を見に行きました。滝の迫力と美しさは圧巻でした。探検してるみたいで楽しいです!
午後には、水牛車に乗って由布島を観光しました。南の楽園と呼ぶにふさわしい場所で、花と蝶々がまるで絵画のように美しく、自然の豊かさを全身で感じました。特にジェラートが絶品で、心身ともにリフレッシュされました。
また、ガイドさんがとても気さくで話しやすく、道中の動植物について丁寧に解説してくれました。日頃あまり運動していない私でも、適度な筋肉痛を感じる程度の運動強度で、とても充実した一日を過ごすことができました。自然を満喫し、大変満足のいくツアーでした。
In winter, the north winds are strong, and there are many days when the ferry to Uehara Port is canceled. It was canceled during our visit as well. Therefore, we took the ferry to Ohara Port and then
冬季は北風が強く、上原港行きのフェリーは欠航する日が多いらしいです。私たちの時も欠航しました。そのため、大原港行きのフェリーに乗って、バスで上原港に向かいました。変更手続きなどは特に難しくありません。
In February, when I participated, it seems to be a season with a lot of rain in Iriomote Island, so I was keeping an eye on the weather forecast two weeks before the tour. At the last minute, the forecast changed to cloudy, and somehow I was able to participate in the tour without any rain!
As a couple aged 59 and 65 who don’t exercise at all, we were fortunate that we were the only participants, so our guide, Mr. O, kindly taught us how to handle the canoe according to our pace.
While trekking through the jungle, he matched our pace and explained the scenery and trees along the way, making it a fun stroll. In areas where the cave ceiling was low, even when I struggled to get through, he patiently encouraged me, for which I am very grateful. Since there were elementary school children participating as well, I think beginners can join too.
We also took a lot of photos. Participating in the tour became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much! 🥰
参加した2月は西表島では雨の多い季節らしく、ツアー参加2週間前から天気予報とニラメッコ。
最後の最後に曇り予報に変わり、何とか雨のない中でツアーに参加できました!
59才&65才の全く運動していない夫婦、幸いにもツアー参加は私たちだけでしたのでガイドのOさんが私たちに合わせて丁寧にカヌーの扱いを手ほどきしてくれました。
ジャングルのなかをトレッキングする際は、ペースを合わせていただき、途中で景色や樹木の説明をしてくださったり楽しく散策できました。
洞窟の天井が低いところでは私がくぐれずモタついてしても根気よく声かけていただき有難うございました。小学生のお子さんも参加されているとのことですので初心者でも参加可能だと思います。
写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。
ツアーに参加できてとても良い思い出になりました!ありがとうございました🥰
When getting in and out of the canoe and exploring the caves, you will get wet, so it's best to bring a change of clothes for the return trip. The guide prepared an emergency toilet for us, but we did
カヌーの乗り降りや洞窟は水の中に浸かりますので、本当に濡れる覚悟で帰りの着替えを持っていったほうがよいです。
トイレは非常用のものをガイドさんが準備してくれていましたが、私たちは必要ありませんでした。
You can enjoy sightseeing all the way to Cape Hedo, the northernmost point, in just one day. The seafood lunch was as delicious as others have commented. The melt-in-your-mouth squid sashimi was amazing to taste in this tropical setting! For those who are not fond of sashimi, the vegetable tempura was also said to be delicious. After lunch, we were served shikuwasa jelly and cake on the bus. Eating and drinking are allowed on the bus, so you can enjoy dessert while taking in the scenery from the window. Participants from China, South Korea, English-speaking countries, and French-speaking countries joined the tour. I was impressed by how the guide managed to bring together such a diverse group with just the right amount of distance. Thanks to this tour, I was able to have a great time without needing a rental car!
朝から1日で最北端の辺戸岬まで観光できます。海鮮ランチは他の方たちのコメントの通りとても美味しかったです。とろけるようなイカのお刺身が南国で味わえて最高でした!お刺身が苦手な人は野菜の天ぷらでそちらも美味しいそうでしたよ。ランチを終えると、バス内でシークヮーサーのゼリーとケーキが配られました。車内飲食OKで、車窓からの景色と共にしっかりデザートも味わえます。ツアーには中国、韓国、英語、仏語圏の方たちが参加されていました。ガイドさんは適度な距離感で多様な参加者を纏められていて感心しました。このツアーのおかげでレンタカーなしで十分楽しめました!
You can explore the national park using a smartphone guide. It might be a bit challenging for elderly people who are not very skilled with smartphones.
国立公園はスマホガイドで周ります。スマホがあまり得意でない高齢者はハードルが高いかもしれません。
On tours organized by bus companies like Naha Bus, there are guides not only on the bus but also at the destination. However, on this tour, the explanation on the bus is mainly through audio guides, and there is no guide at the destination, with a tour conductor accompanying the group. Preferences vary from person to person, but this tour is recommended for those who prefer to spend quiet time on the bus and enjoy free time at the destination.
那覇バスなどバス会社主催のツアーでは、バスの中だけでなく、現地でも案内説明(ガイド)してくれるが、このツアーではバスの中の説明は音声ガイドが主、現地でのガイドはなく、添乗員が同乗しているという状態。
好みは人それぞれだが、バス内では静かに過ごし現地で自由行動したい人にはこのツアーはおすすめ。
You can experience "Yanbaru," but it's better to accept that there won't be a guide and that free exploration will be the main focus. Don't expect much from the lunch; it's better to eat in Honshu.
「やんばる」に接することができるが、ガイドはなく、自由行動がメインと割り切った方が良い。
昼食の内容に期待しない方がよい。本州で食べた方がおいしい。
I was worried because it was windy and cold until the day before the tour, but it turned out to be sunny and the temperature rose, which was fantastic. I really enjoyed the great outdoors. It was so much fun that both my husband and I want to go again. Thank you very much!
ツアー前日まで風も強くて寒くて心配でしたが、晴れて気温もあがりサイコーでした。大自然満喫しました。めっちゃ楽しかったので夫婦共々また行きたいです。ありがとうございました。
I think it's better to fully enjoy the one-day course.
1日コース満喫した方が良いと思います。
The tour guide was very nice and assisted us in both Japanese and English. For lunch, we had a delicious fish dish. My companion, who doesn't eat fish, was accommodated with a tempura lunch instead. I am grateful to the tour guide and the restaurant staff. We also enjoyed the weather at Yanbaru National Park and Cape Hedo. It was a well-planned tour.
添乗員さんはとても良い方で、日本語だけじゃなく英語でも対応してくれました。お昼はとっても美味しいお魚料理でした。私の連れはお魚がだめというわがままも聞いてくれてお昼を天ぷらに替えて頂きました。添乗員さんとお店の方に感謝です。
やんばる国立公園も辺戸岬の天気もよく満喫できました。
良く計画されたツアーでした。
This is my fifth time in Okinawa, but I had never been to the northern part, so I joined this tour. As usual, most participants were foreigners, but this tour provided earphone guides and pamphlets tailored to each participant's language at the beginning. During the tour, when the guide signaled "Please turn on your earphone guide," the next sightseeing explanation was provided in each participant's language through the earphone guide.
There are tours where explanations are mainly in Chinese, leaving Japanese participants behind, so I thought this was fair and well thought out.
There were about 15 participants, but they arranged a large bus, allowing us to enjoy the sightseeing comfortably.
沖縄には5回目ぐらいですが、北部に行ったことないのでこのツアーに参加しました。
変わらず外国人参加者大半ですが、
このツアーは最初に各参加者の言語に合わせてイヤホンガイドとパンフレットを渡されます。
ツアー中バス車内で、ガイドさんの「イヤホンガイドの電源を入れてください」の合図とともに、次の観光の説明がイヤホンガイドから各参加者の言語でなされます。
中国語での説明が主で日本人参加者は放置のツアーもあるので(^^;(^^;
これは公平で工夫されていていいなと思いました。
15人ぐらいの参加者でしたが大型のバスを手配してくれてゆったり観光することが出来ました。
I recommend sitting on the left side of the bus (to avoid the sunlight) (^^; (^^;
バスの席は左側オススメ(日差しを避けるため)(^^;(^^;
I've been to Okinawa three or four times, but this is my first time visiting after the New Year and all the way to the northern tip. I had only ever toured the beaches and Shuri Castle, but this time it was a very interesting and enjoyable trip as we were able to experience history and nature that we didn't know about. Since we didn't have a driver, we joined a one-day tour, which was a great deal and packed with highlights. The guide's explanations were professional and fun, and the fish for lunch was very delicious. I was very satisfied!
沖縄には3、4回来ていますがお正月明け、それに北端まで来たのは初めて。
ビーチや首里城しか観光したことがなかったのですが今回は私たちにとって知らなかった歴史や自然に触れられてとても興味深く楽しい旅でした。ドライバーがいないので1日ツアーに参加し、見どころ満載のお得で充実したツアーでした。ガイドさんの説明もプロで楽しく、ランチのお魚もとても美味でした。大満足!
Okinawa in winter has many attractions, and with fewer people around, you can enjoy various experiences without needing to rent a car.
冬の沖縄も見どころ多く、人も少なく、レンタカー借りなくてもいろいろ体験できます。
I participated on January 6, right in the middle of the off-season. As expected, the ferry to Uehara Port was canceled. It was my first time in Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island, and I had so many questions, but they provided excellent guidance and support, and an exciting day began.
Although it was a time when flowers, fruits, birds, and animals were all scarce, the air and sky were beautiful, and it was so quiet that it felt like a private experience. I was able to participate with a relaxed mindset.
During the canoeing and trekking to the waterfall, the veteran guide taught us various things, and I enjoyed it throughout. The rice balls and fried chicken with warm miso soup at the waterfall were the best! The lunch varied by tour company, and I actually chose this tour for the rice balls.
My first cave exploration was breathtaking, with scenery from an entirely different dimension. I think I was able to enjoy it because of the sense of security provided by the guide.
Next, I want to go on the Sagari-bana tour!
シーズンオフ真っ只中の1月6日に参加しました。やはり上原港行きフェリーは欠航、時間は?天気は?初めての石垣島、西表島でわからないことだらけでの参加でしたが、しっかり案内と対応してくれて、ワクワクの1日が始まりました。時期としては、花や果物、鳥、動物など全てが少ない時期でしたが、空気や空がきれいで、空いているので貸切状態。ゆったりした気持ちで参加できました。
滝までのカヌーやトレッキングでは、ベテランガイドさんがいろんなことを教えてくれて、終始楽しめました。滝下でのおにぎり&唐揚げと温かい味噌汁が最高!ツアー会社によって、お昼ご飯が違っていて、実は私はおにぎり目当てでここのツアーにしました。
人生初の洞窟探検では、全く違う次元の景色に感動でした。ガイドさんの安心感があったから、楽しめたのだと思います。
次はサガリバナツアー行きたい!
You can borrow shoes, but I'm glad I brought my own gloves. Since I can't take out my phone, I don't think I need waterproof items in particular.
靴は貸していただけますが、グローブは持って行って良かったです。自分の携帯は取り出せないので、特に防水グッズとかはいらないと思います。
I was able to enjoy the highlights of Yanbaru National Park in one day and had a great time. There were no unintended stops at souvenir shops, and I was able to have a delicious lunch. The allocation of sightseeing time at the attractions was appropriate, and the guidance and instructions from the conductor were also suitable. However, the return trip was congested.
やんばる国立公園の見どころを一日で観光でき、楽しい時間が過ごせた。
意図しないお土産屋への立ち寄りもなく、美味しい昼食も食べれた。
観光地での観光時間配分が適切で、コンダクターからの案内や指示も適切だった。
ただ、帰りの道が混んでいた。
I have participated in this tour because I wanted to explore the northern part of Okinawa, as I had only visited the southern part before. Among various other tours, this one was quite expensive, but in terms of content... There were many foreign visitors as well...
沖縄は今まで南部の観光ばかりだったので今回北部観光ということで参加させていただきました
いろいろある他のツアーの中でもけっこう料金が高額でしたが内容的には・・・・・
外国の方が多かったのも・・・・・
I think it would be difficult for elderly people or those who find walking cumbersome.
高齢者や歩くのが億劫な方はしんどいと思います
I think it's a strong ally for solo travelers, as it allows you to visit tourist spots that are difficult to access alone, enjoy a delicious lunch, and adjust the schedule to see the Okinawa rail. In the end, you can just relax and arrive in Naha. Many people actually travel alone as well.
個人では行きづらい観光スポットを周遊してもらい、かつ美味しい昼食をいただけ、
ヤンバルクイナの見られるように時間も調整されており、最後は寝ていれば那覇につく。
お気軽で満足のできる、ひとり旅の強い味方だと思います。(実際にひとりの方も多め)
The recommended course at Daishi Forest Mountain is red → ※ → green.
※ If you have time, you can also visit part of the yellow.
大石林山のすすめコースは、赤色→※→緑色
※時間あれば、黄色の一部も見に行くことが出来ます
The experience was really good considering the hassle of renting a car alone.
However, the bus guide was terrible.
When she spoke, it felt like she was instructing her subordinates, and even though she was just confirming things, she came off as very condescending.
She was kind to the foreign tourists who were late to the meeting point, which was frustrating.
Also, we were told to meet at a certain spot, but even after four of us searched for ten minutes, we couldn't find it.
Some people gave up on the activity.
She was smiling at the foreigners and spoke politely.
I can read like anyone else, so...
I felt discriminated against as a Japanese person while in Japan. Others mentioned they were too scared to ask questions because they felt they would be scolded.
内容は、一人でレンタカー借りる手間を考えればすごく良かった。
ただ、バスガイドさんが、酷すぎました。
何か話す時、上司が部下に指導するみたいで、確認しているだけなのに高圧的でした。
集合場所に遅刻した外国人には優しく接していてモヤモヤ。
あと、ここにいると言われたのに、4人がかりで10分探してもいない。
アクティビティ諦めた方もいました。
外国の方には笑顔でした。話し方も丁寧。
人並みに、リーディングは出来るので…
日本にいて、日本人差別された気分です。
他の方も、怖いし、怒られそうで聞けないって言っていましたよ。
Shoes should definitely be athletic shoes.
靴はやはり運動靴がいいです。
The bus trip from Naha to the northernmost point was made easy thanks to the bus, even on unfamiliar roads. Although I regret the unfortunate wind and rain, I was glad to have visited Cape Hedo, hiked at Daichi Forest Park, and even met the Okinawa Rail, all with plenty of time to spare. The lunch was delicious too.
那覇から最北端までのバス旅、慣れない道をバスのおかげで楽に行けました
生憎の風雨が悔やまれますが辺戸岬、大石林山のハイク、ヤンバルクイナにも会えてそれぞれ時間も余裕があり行けて良かった
昼食も美味しかった
If rain is forecasted, a raincoat is more convenient than an umbrella; an umbrella is useless when buffeted by the wind.
雨が予報されていれば傘よりカッパが便利、傘は風に煽られて役立たずです
The number and size of the stones at Oishi Forest Mountain exceeded my expectations. There were many trees, and the trails were well-maintained, allowing for a safe and enjoyable walk. The seafood dishes were delicious. I thought they would be dishes made with local fish from around Okinawa, but it turned out to be different. I wonder if, for the people of Okinawa, dishes made with non-local fish are more popular.
大石林山の石の多さと大きさには予想以上でした。
樹木も多く、コースも整備されていて安心して歩くことができました。
海鮮料理は美味しかった。
沖縄近辺の魚の料理かな・・・と思っていたのですが違っていたので、沖縄の人に
とっては沖縄の魚ではないほうが人気がるのかなと思いました。
I have been to Okinawa many times, but I had never been to the Yanbaru area, so this tour was perfect. In particular, Daichi Forest was a place that was more interesting than I had imagined. There were quite a few slippery spots, so it's necessary to prepare shoes that are not slippery and easy to walk in.
沖縄へは何度も来ていますが、やんばる方面は行っていなかったので、ピッタリのツアーでした。特に、大石林山は想像以上に興味深い場所でした。結構、滑りやすい場所もあったので、滑りにくく、歩きやすい靴の準備は必要です。
I booked a kayak and waterfall tour in the morning, followed by a cave exploration tour in the afternoon. The weather was changeable, with light rain, clouds, and finally some sunny intervals.
Paddling through the mangroves on both sides was refreshing. As we approached the waterfall, the sound of the rushing water grew louder, and it was quite powerful up close.
In the afternoon's cave exploration, there was a spot at the entrance where the water was knee-deep, and I couldn't enter without the guide's assistance. I'm grateful for that.
I was able to see tiny, cute bats hanging nearby and felt amazed by the natural formations that took a long time to develop, as explained by the guide. It was a fun tour that offered experiences I wouldn't normally have.
午前中にカヤック&滝、午後に洞窟探検ツアーを申し込みました。
天候は小雨、曇り、最後に晴れ間がみられた変わりやすい天気。
カヌーはマングローブを両側に眺めながら進み、爽快。
雨が降ってた水量が増した滝は近づくにつれ、轟音が。近づいたら怖いくらいの迫力でした。
午後の洞窟探検は、洞窟の最初の入り口のところで、水に膝上浸かるくらいな場所があり、ガイドさんのフォローなしでは入れませんでした。感謝です。
ちっちゃかわいいコウモリがぶら下がっているのを間近でみられたり、ガイドさんの説明をきいて長い時間をかけてできた自然のものってスゴいなぁと感じたり。
普段できない経験ができるツアーで楽しかったです。
Everything I saw was moving. The driver and the guide were also kind, making it a very good bus tour. Thank you very much.
見るもの全てが感動でした。
また、運転士さんもガイドさんも親切で
とても良いバスツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。
I participated on October 31 (Thursday). It was 100 km from Naha (difficult to go individually), and the "Yanbaru Tour" was easy since we arrived at the sightseeing spots while sleeping. I heard that there are many traffic accidents involving the Okinawa rail in "Kuina no Mori," so it was a good decision to come on a bus tour. Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 21, my flight was canceled, and I was at a loss about what to do for the day, but my savior, Veltra, was great for accommodating my sudden schedule change (same-day reservation). Thank you!
10/31(木)参加。那覇から100km(個人では行きにくい)、「やんばる周遊」 寝ている間に観光スポット着で楽チンでした。「クイナの森」でヤンバルクイナの交通事故が多いと聞いてバスツアーで来て正解でした。台風21号の影響で飛行機が欠航、1日何しようと途方に暮れていた私の救世主【Veltra】さん、急なスケジュール変更(前日予約)にもOKでありがとさんです。
The best outfit is a type that covers the skin with a rash guard over a swimsuit, allowing you to fully enjoy getting wet during sudden downpours and at the waterfall! Since the schedule was just after a typhoon, the footing wasn't great, but that too became a good memory.
The entrance to the limestone cave was low and narrow, so I couldn't go in while wearing my waterproof backpack (maybe I brought too much luggage, haha), but the tour started with an exciting feeling of being "in nature as it is!" After that, we enjoyed handmade rice balls.
We had our first experience with a mangrove canoe and went to the waterfall. The day before, we cruised through the mangroves, but this felt completely different. The joy of paddling in the canoe for the first time was thrilling, and being closer to the water's surface made the scenery feel much wider and larger! (So moving)
After reaching the shore, we started trekking. Since it was after the typhoon, we prioritized safety and were careful with our footing as we headed to the waterfall. It had been about 30 years since I last soaked in water while wearing a swimsuit, haha. At first, I felt uneasy because I forgot the sensation of floating and couldn't touch the bottom, but once I got used to it, I was able to swim around!
I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, and the guide took photos for us, providing the data before we parted ways. It was such a wonderful experience that I want to participate again! 😊
服装は水着の上にラッシュガードで肌が見えないタイプがベスト、
急なスコールも、滝壺も、濡れることを思いきり楽しめます♪
台風が過ぎたばかりの日程だったので足場がよくなかったですが、それも良き思い出です。
鍾乳洞は入口が低く狭いので、私だけ防水リュックを背負ったままでは入れませんでした(荷物を持ちすぎたのかもしれません(笑))が、「ありのままの自然の中にいる‼︎」とわくわく気分でツアーがスタートしました。
その後手作りおにぎりをいただき。
マングローブカヌー初体験と滝壺へ。
前日はマングローブをクルージングしましたが、まったく違う感覚で。
初体験のカヌーがこげてる楽しさ嬉しさと、目線が水面に近いので景色がとても広く大きく感じました♪(感動)
岸についてからトレッキングスタート。
台風後だったので安全第一で足場に気をつけながら滝壺に出発。
30年ぶりくらいに水着で水の中に浸かりました(笑)
最初は浮く感覚を忘れていて足がつかないことに心細かったですが、慣れると泳いで移動もできました♪
iPhoneを防水ケースに入れて持って行きましたが、ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれ、解散前にデーターをくれます♪
もう一度参加したいと思える、素敵な経験でした(^_^)♪
The tour guide was very attentive. There was a participant who only understood English, but this tour guide had excellent English skills and explained the content almost exactly the same after providing the explanation in Japanese. For lunch, we had a sashimi set meal, and the freshness and portion size of the sashimi were great, plus it came with grilled fish, which I thought was something you wouldn't easily find outside. According to the tour guide, the restaurant initially declined due to a lack of staff, but they reached an agreement because the tour guide offered to help with serving. After we started hiking at Daishi Forest Park, a localized heavy downpour began, and access was temporarily suspended after we entered the mountain. I walked through the intense rain, and the water flowing down the mountain was incredible; to be honest, it was a bit scary. But on the flip side, I think it turned into a good experience. I recommend participating with sturdy shoes. I brought not only an umbrella but also a poncho, which helped keep my daypack dry.
添乗員の気配りが良かったです。参加者の中に英語しかわからない方がいましたが、この添乗員さんは英語力も素晴らしく、日本語で説明をした後、それをダイジェストではなく、ほぼ同じ内容でその方に説明をしていました。途中の昼食は、刺身定食でしたが、刺身の新鮮さとボリュームがよく、またそれに焼き魚もつき、なかなか外では食べられないと思いました。添乗員さんによると、最初このお店は人手が足りないので断られたそうですが、添乗員さんが配膳などを手伝うということで契約に至ったそうです。大石林山に行ってハイキングが始まった後で、局地的な集中豪雨が始まり、私たちが山に入った後、立ち入りが一時中止になったということです。私は凄まじい豪雨の中を歩きましたが、山から滝のように流れる雨が凄まじく、正直ちょっと怖い思いもしました。でも逆に言うと良い体験にもなったと思います。しっかりした靴で参加することをお勧めいたします。傘だけではなく、ポンチョなども持っていったので、デイバックが濡れずに助かりました。
I participated in a full-day tour of northern Okinawa, which I rarely have the opportunity to visit since I don't drive.
Although a typhoon was approaching, we were fortunate to have good weather during the tour, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing at Cape Hedo and the Daichi Forest. The untouched nature of Yanbaru National Park in the north was magnificent.
The protection facility for the Okinawa rail, "Kuta-kun," was friendly and even came close to the glass when I pointed my camera at him.
I had a sashimi set for lunch, and although I haven't had many opportunities to eat sashimi in Okinawa, it was delicious enough.
There were few Japanese participants; most were from other Asian countries, with a few from Europe and the U.S. However, the guide was fluent in both Japanese and English, so I had no trouble at all.
自分は車を運転しないので、なかなか行く機会に恵まれない沖縄北部を巡る終日ツアーという事で参加しました。
台風が接近中であったものの幸いにもツアー中は天候にも恵まれ辺戸岬や大石林山も楽しく観光する事ができました。北部のやんばる国立公園の殆ど手つかずの大自然は雄大でした。
ヤンバルクイナの保護施設の「くーた君」も人懐っこく、カメラを向けるとわざわざガラス越しではありますが寄って来てくれました。
ランチのお刺身定食も沖縄でお刺身をあまり食べる機会が無かったのですが十分に美味しかったです。
参加者は日本人は少なく、殆どが他アジア諸国に欧米人数名という感じでしたがガイドさんは日本語と英語を流暢に操り全く困ることはありませんでした。
We were blessed with great weather and had a wonderful time sightseeing in the Yanbaru area. For lunch, we enjoyed a seafood set meal with sashimi, featuring fish caught that very day, which we could savor without any waiting time. At Cape Hedo, we could clearly see Yoron Island and Okinoerabu Island with our own eyes. At the Oishi Forest Park, we admired the unique rock formations created by erosion. Above all, I think the highlight of this tour was being able to see the long-awaited "Yanbaru Kuina" with my own eyes. I highly recommend this experience to everyone. Even though it was the end of October, the temperature exceeded 30 degrees, but we had so much fun that we forgot about the heat.
天気に恵まれヤンバル地区を楽しく観光する事が出来ました。
海鮮ランチはお刺身定食。当日水揚げされた魚を待ち時間なく堪能する事が出来ました。辺戸岬では与論島・沖永良部島もはっきり肉眼で観る事が出来。大石林山では浸食されてできた奇岩を観光。何といっても念願の「ヤンバルクイナ」をこの目で観る事が出来たことこのツアーでの一番の魅力ではないかと思います。是非皆様もご利用下さい。10月末と言うのに30度を超える日でしたが暑さも忘れる位楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。
I participated in a tour this time because it's not easy to visit the northern attractions alone. It included the power spot at Daishi Forest, which I've wanted to visit for years, as well as the cute Okinawa Rail and Cape Hedo—it's the perfect itinerary for me.
First, we went to the national park, and there were plenty of souvenirs at the roadside station. The lemon cake was delicious. After that, we had lunch and headed to Cape Hedo, where the scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed some tasty seafood.
Daishi Forest was indeed wonderful. There are three different routes, but I couldn't see everything I wanted to, yet I managed to explore two of the courses. The experience was incredibly impressive.
I thought there would be many Okinawa Rails, but I only saw one. It was cute, though. Overall, it was a satisfying day.
北部観光はなかなか一人ではいけないので、今回ツアーに参加しました。何年か前から行ってみたかった大石林山のパワースポットや可愛いヤンバルクイナ、辺戸岬が入っているわたしには最高の工程です。まずは、国立公園へ、道の駅でもお土産がたくさんありました。レモンケーキ美味しかった。その後はランチして辺戸岬へ、景色も綺麗で美味しい海鮮もいただきました。
大石林山は、やっぱり素敵でした。ルートが3他に分かれているのですが、見たいとこだけみることはできずそれでも2コース回ってきました。大迫力で最高です。
ヤンバルクイナは、たくさんいるのかなって思いきや、1羽。でも可愛かったです。
全体的に満足の一日でした。
I was able to encounter various creatures while canoeing and trekking, and the entire day felt refreshing. Thanks to the enjoyable conversations during the challenging mountain trails, the time flew by. It was a precious experience that will be a lifelong memory. The Yaeyama soba I ate while enjoying the wonderful view from above the waterfall, and the water play in the basin of the waterfall—everything was fantastic.
カヌーでもトレッキングでも色々な生き物に出会うことが出来て、1日中新鮮でした
過酷な山道の間も楽しく会話してくださったおかけであっという間に感じました
貴重な体験をさせていただいて一生の思い出です。
滝の上で素晴らしい景色を見ながら食べた八重山そば、滝壺での水遊び、すべてが最高でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day! We also sincerely appreciate your heartwarming review.
The path to the top of Pinai Sara Falls is quite a rugged mountain trail, so you must feel a sense of accomplishment when you reach the top! We are truly honored to hear that the lunch and activities during the tour became a lifelong memory for you.
We would be delighted if you could contact us again when you visit Iriomote Island! Thank you!!
先日は当店のツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございました! また、心温まる口コミをいただき、誠にありがとうございます。
ピナイサーラの滝上までの道は本格的な山道になるので、滝上に到着した時は達成感を感じられますよね!
ツアー中のランチや遊びがクレソン様にとっての一生の思い出になったとのお言葉をいただけて、大変光栄です(^^♪
また西表島にいらっしゃる際は、ご連絡いただけると嬉しいです!
ありがとうございました!!
I participated on October 5th. Despite concerns about the ship due to Typhoon No. 18, the staff was very helpful, responding to my emails and providing careful assistance even before the event. On the day of the tour, we were blessed with good weather, and I was very satisfied with the experience of being in true nature. The limestone cave, in particular, felt like an exploration of the natural world rather than a maintained site, and I appreciated the detailed explanations about the plants and stones. The canoeing was also enjoyable, allowing us to spend a relaxing time on a spacious river, and we were able to enter the mangroves depending on the tide. It was a flexible tour that allowed us to enjoy nature. I would definitely like to participate again when I visit Iriomote Island. Thank you very much.
10月5日に参加させていただきました。台風18号の影響で船の不安もある中、スタッフ様にメールで相談させていただいたり、参加前から丁寧に対応して頂きました。当日は天気に恵まれ、本物の自然を体験できるツアーの内容に大満足です。中でも鍾乳洞は整備されたものではなく、自然のままで探検をしているような気分になれましたし、植物の事や、石のことなど、細やかな説明もして頂けたのが良かったです。カヌーも広々とした川でゆったりした時間がすごせ、潮の加減でマングローブの中にも入ることができたり、臨機応変に自然を楽しむことが出来るツアーでした。西表島にまた来る時は是非参加したいです。ありがとうございました。
It's not easy to reach this area by bus, but I was able to explore quite comfortably without stress. Since there were only a few participants, including the guide, it turned into a tour where we could all chat together, which was really nice.
なかなかこの地域までバスでいけないのですが、ストレスなくけっこうまわれました。参加人数が少なかったこともありガイドさんを含めて、皆さんと話しながらのツアーとなりかなり良かったです。
This was my third trip to Okinawa. I had always wanted to visit Yanbaru National Park, and while researching online, I found a one-day bus tour through Veltra that included Yanbaru Park, Cape Hedo, and Daichi Forest. I immediately made a reservation. There were five participants on the day of the tour, but we enjoyed a spacious and comfortable sightseeing experience on a large bus. I was worried because it was typhoon season, but the weather was good, and I was satisfied with the beautiful scenery of the Yanbaru region and the enjoyable trip. The hiking at Daichi Forest was easy to walk, making it accessible even for older individuals. I was very satisfied with this trip, as it allowed me to visit places that are not easily accessible on my own.
沖縄旅行は今回で3回目になります。以前からやんばる国立公園に行ってみたいと思い、インターネットで調べていたらベルトラのジャンボツアーでのやんばる公園、辺戸岬、大石林山等の一日バスツアーが見つかり即、予約申し込みしました。当日の参加者は5名でしたが、大型バスでゆったりと快適な観光をしてきました。今の季節は台風シーズンで心配しましたが天気は良く、素晴らしいやんばる地方の景色を見て、快適な旅を楽しんで満足しました。大石林山の
ハイキングは歩きやすく年配の方でも行ける感じでした。なかなか個人では行けないところを今回のツアーに参加して満足のいく旅行でした。
This was my sixth trip to Okinawa, and I finally got to visit Yanbaru. Since tours can lose their charm in the rain, I had been hesitant to book one. On the day of the tour, it was partly sunny and cloudy, but thankfully it didn't rain.
The area around Kunigami Port Shokudo offers beautiful views of the ocean. Many people quickly finished their meals and took photos.
At Daichi Forest, there is quite a bit of walking, so women might want to avoid delicate sandals. Also, the tour content is somewhat subdued (more suitable for adults), so those with small children might enjoy places like the Churaumi Aquarium much more. The Yanbaru Kuina was just sitting in the corner and hardly moved.
沖縄6回目で、ついにやんばるに行けました。
雨だと魅力半減なツアーなので、なかなか申し込めませんでした。
当日は晴れたり曇ったりでしたが、雨は降らず助かりました。
国頭港食堂の周辺では海がとてもきれいに見えます。
食事を手早く済ませて、写真を撮っている方が多かったです。
大石林山はそこそこ歩くので、女性は華奢なサンダルは避けた方がいいかもしれません。
あと結構地味目(大人向け)なツアー内容なので、小さな子供連れの方は美ら海水族館などの方がずっと楽しめると思います。
ヤンバルクイナは隅っこでじっとしていてほぼ動きませんでした。
