All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

When boarding the bus, I presented the voucher and exchanged it for a paper free pass, which was a smooth process. Unlike the digital free passes sold by other companies, I don't need to open the app every time I get on or off, which is great. I already got my money's worth just by traveling from the airport to Kabira Bay and Ishigaki city.

バス乗車時にバウチャーを提示し、紙のフリーパスに交換しますがスムーズに引き換え出来ました。
他社販売のデジタルフリーパスと違い、毎回乗降時にアプリを開く必要がないので良いです。
空港〜川平湾〜石垣市街地の移動だけで元が取れました。

When visiting Ishigaki Island, I recommend finishing your island-hopping tour first, as they will take you to the airport afterward. This would be a good option for your last day.

You will have time to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, which is a highlight of Ishigaki Island (boat fees are not included). The staff from the boat company will be waiting for you in the parking lot at Kabira Bay, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about waiting times, making it very efficient.

When I used this service, there was a cruise ship in, and it was very crowded with foreigners. It's best not to have high expectations for lunch.

石垣島に観光に来た際、離島めぐりを先に済ませ、空港まで送っていただけるので、最終日に利用されるとよいと思います。
石垣島のハイライトになる川平湾でグラスボートに乗れる時間があります（ボート料金は含まれていません）。
川平湾ではボート業者のスタッフが駐車場で待っていてくれますので、待ち時間を気にせずに効率が良いです。
私が利用したときはクルーズ船が来ていて、外国人で大混雑しておりました。
昼食は期待しない方がよろしいです。

The day before, I received notice that due to weather conditions, the SUP at Kawahira Bay would be changed to mangrove SUP at Miyara River. On the day of the activity, it was slightly cloudy, but it was a warm day for late February. On the bus heading to Miyara River, the guide shared some fun stories about Ishigaki Island.

Upon arriving at Miyara River, we listened to explanations about SUP and canoeing before heading out onto the water. Paddling through the mangrove river on the SUP was a delightful experience with beautiful scenery. As it was my first time on a SUP, I fell off a few times, but the others managed to stay on without falling. It was nice that the water wasn't too cold even after falling in. It really is Ishigaki Island, even in February.

After the SUP, we disbanded at the remote island terminal for lunch before heading to the Phantom Island. We took a boat, and by that time, the sun started to peek through, making the sea look beautiful. Upon arriving at Phantom Island, we explored the island for a while. The sea was blue, and the island had beautiful white coral sand, which was wonderful.

After that, we moved to a different spot for snorkeling, putting on life jackets and wetsuits before entering the water. Wearing the wetsuit made the water feel not too cold. Following the guide, we swam in the coral sea. The water was incredibly clear, and I could see colorful fish swimming beneath the surface. It was an experience that is hard to come by, and I’m glad I participated.

If I have the chance to come back to Ishigaki Island, I would like to try the SUP at Kawahira Bay that I missed this time. It was a fantastic tour. Thank you very much!

前日に天候の影響で川平湾SUPから宮良川でのマングローブSUPになる連絡がありました。
当日はやや曇天でしたが、2月下旬でも暖かい日でした。
宮良川に向かうバスの中ではガイドさんから石垣島についての楽しい話をしていただきました。
宮良川に到着しSUPやカヌーについての説明を聞き、川に乗り出しました。
SUPを漕いでマングローブの川を進むのは景色もよく気持ちよかったです。
初めてのSUPで私は何度か落ちてしまいましたが、ほかの方達は落ちることなく上手に乗っていました。
水に落ちてもそんなに寒くなくてよかったです。2月なのにさすが石垣島です。
SUPの後は、離島ターミナルで一度解散して昼食をとり、幻の島へ向かいました。
船で向かいましたが、その頃から晴れ間も見えて海がきれいでした。
幻の島に到着し、しばらく島を散策しました。
海は青く、きれいな白いサンゴ砂の島で素晴らしかったです。
その後シュノーケリングのために場所を移動して、ライフジャケット＋ウェットスーツで海に入りました。
ウェットスーツを着ると、水の中もそこまで寒くなかったです。
ガイドさんに付いてサンゴの海を泳ぎました。海はとても綺麗で、海中には綺麗な色の魚が泳いでいるのが見えました。
なかなかできない体験でした。参加してよかったです。
また石垣島に来ることがあれば、今回できなかった川平湾のSUPもしてみたいです。
素晴らしいツアーでした。どうもありがとうございました。

This is a bus tour that takes you around the sightseeing spots of Ishigaki Island. The guide introduced folk songs while playing the sanshin. You can get off at Naha Airport, making it an efficient bus tour.

石垣島の観光名所を巡るバスツアーです。
ガイドさんは、三線を演奏しながら民謡を紹介してくれました。
那覇空港で降車でき、効率よいバスツアーでした。

The limestone cave and the beautiful scenery at Kabira Bay were great, and both the driver and guide were kind. It was unfortunate that the glass boat at Kabira Bay was canceled due to strong winds, so I couldn't ride it, but the views were beautiful. Also, it was disappointing that the guide didn't perform the sanshin or songs and dances that I had seen in other people's posts. However, the guidance was solid.

鍾乳洞、川平湾と綺麗な景色が見れて運転手さんガイドさんも親切でよかったです。川平湾のグラスボートが強風のため欠航で乗れなかったのが残念でしたが、景色は綺麗でした。あと他の人の投稿であったガイドさんの三線や歌踊りなどがなかったのが残念でした。ガイドはしっかりしてくれましたが。

I was able to see many fish up close, just like those in an aquarium! I also got to take a lot of photos and videos! Hina was very kind!

水族館の水槽の中にいるようなお魚さんを間近でたくさん見れました！写真や動画もたくさん撮ってもらえました！
ひなさん優しかった！

I was able to sightsee at just the right time. It was easier than going around by myself. I had lunch at a restaurant with a great view. It was convenient to get dropped off at the airport.

丁度よい時間で観光できました。自力で巡るより楽ちん。景色のよいレストランでランチ。空港で下車できて便利でした。

Wherever you go, the views are breathtaking, and the instructors provide a lot of information, making it really enjoyable! So, I don't feel too tired!

The only mistake I made was getting wetter than I expected, so a change of clothes is a must!!

With determination and spirit, anyone can do it!

どこに行っても絶景で、講師の方が色々な情報を教えてくれるのですごく楽しいです！なので疲れを感じる事はあまり無いです！

失敗した事と言えば思った以上に濡れるので着替え必須です！！

気合と根性があれば誰でもできます！

The sea was very clear and it was amazing! I was really moved to see turtles, various fish, and corals. There were so many things that you can only experience here, and it was really great!

海がとても透き通っていて最高でした！
亀や色々な魚サンゴも見れてとても感動しました。ここでしか味わえないものがたくさんありとてもよかったです！

Just showing the reservation confirmation screen to the driver is very convenient, as I don't have to carry cash and can make purchases cashless.

予約確認書画面を運転手さんに提示するだけ、現金を持ち合わせなくてキャッシュレスで購入でき大変便利です。

With this free pass, I was able to travel around Ishigaki Island mostly by bus~＼(^o^)／ Even just the round trip from Ishigaki Airport to the island terminal was worth it, and I was so happy to be able to go to Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory too♡

こちらのフリーパスで 石垣島をほぼバスで 周る事が出来ました～＼(^o^)／
石垣空港から 離島ターミナル往復だけでも 充分 元が取れるのに 川平湾や玉取崎展望台まで 行けて 嬉しかったです♡

Unfortunately, the snorkeling was moved to a different spot due to high waves, but I was able to encounter sea turtles✨. Since it was my first time snorkeling, I had some anxiety, but I was glad to go to places I definitely couldn't have reached on my own! It was reassuring that I could grab onto the float that the guide was holding when I got tired!

In the second half, I enjoyed a mangrove canoe tour✨. I got to see the mangroves up close, and at times, we even went through the gaps, which provided a different kind of fun compared to the ocean!

Throughout the day, the guide took a lot of photos and videos, so I was happy to be able to create many memories without having to bring my smartphone✨. Also, I appreciated the included transportation service✨.

シュノーケリングは残念ながら高波の影響で別のスポットになりましたが、ウミガメに出会うことができました✨
初めてのシュノーケリングだったので不安もありましたが、1人では絶対に行けないような場所まで行けてよかったです！疲れたらガイドさんが持ってくれている浮き輪に捕まることもできたので安心でした！

後半はマングローブカヌーを楽しみました✨
マングローブを間近で見て、時には間をくぐったりして、海とは違う楽しみ方ができました！

1日を通して、ガイドの方が写真や動画をたくさん撮ってくれるので、スマホを持ち込まなくても思い出をたくさん残せてよかったです✨
また、送迎付きなのもありがたかったです✨

I spent a day exploring the northern part of Okinawa, and although we couldn't spend much time at each location, it was enjoyable. However, it was unfortunate that we couldn't have lunch due to the limited time at the tourist spots. I had heard comments suggesting that it would have been better to buy rice balls and drinks to eat on the bus, and I wish I had done that.

沖縄北部を1日かけて、観光できるため、個々の場所が時間かけれないけど楽しかったです。
ですが、観光地で限られた時間のため、昼食は取れないのが、残念でした。おむすびと飲み物を買ってからバスで食べる方が良いとコメントがあったため、そのようにすれば良かったな。

The journey always begins by taking a sightseeing bus to get a grasp of the layout of the area. The local guide's stories were enjoyable, making for a fulfilling bus tour. The optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay offers a discount for bus tour participants, and it's definitely something you should experience.

旅の始まりはいつも周遊のバスに乗り位置関係を掌握します。
地元のガイドさんのお話が楽しく、充実したバスツアーでした。
オプションの川平湾グラスボートは、バスツアー割引が有り絶対乗るべきです。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and traveling while listening to the guide's stories was very informative. I'm glad I participated.

初めての石垣島でしたので、ガイドさんのお話を聞きながらの旅は、知ること多くて参加してよかったです。

I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but I was able to see beautiful coral! Also, I miraculously got to see a sea turtle.

The guide also takes videos and photos for you, so you can be satisfied even if you don't bring your own camera!

青の洞窟へは行けませんでしたが、
綺麗なサンゴを見ることはできました！
また、ウミガメも奇跡的に見ることはできました。

カメラもガイドさんがちゃんと動画や写真を撮ってくれるので持ってこなくても満足できます！

I almost went around the whole island, and it was an amazing trip with fantastic weather. Since the weather on the island can change unexpectedly, two nights is enough to enjoy various places around the island.

ほぼ一周した、めちゃくちゃ良かった天気で、最高の旅でした。島の天気で、いつか変わるか珍しく無いので、二泊で、充分島のあちこち味わってもらって頂けると思います。

I used my accumulated points to take an unlimited ride bus for a day to Kabira Bay. On the way back to the city, it was a very pleasant bus trip while enjoying the scenic views along the coast.

溜まっていたポイントを使って1日乗り放題バスで川平湾へ行きました。市内に戻る際に海沿いの景色を見ながらすごく心地のいいバス旅でした。

I was actually worried that I might not have enough time or that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I was tired, but the bus guide was kind and made the departure times easy to understand and very helpful!

実際時間足りないかも、とか疲れてて楽しめないかなって思ってたけど
バスガイドさん優しくて出発時刻とかも分かりやすくて親切だった！

It was a 2-night, 3-day trip, and I fully utilized my time sightseeing at places like Kabira Bay, Ishigaki, Imai Village, and the limestone caves. I felt reassured since I had purchased everything in advance.

2泊3日の旅でしたが、川平湾や石垣やいま村、鍾乳洞など、観光する際にフルに利用しました。あらかじめ購入していたので安心でした。

It was very good. I understood the meeting place, but the vehicle on the day was not the Celulian Blue-wrapped bus that was mentioned as a landmark. The guide was calling out the names of the participants, but their voices were mostly drowned out by the noise of passing cars, which caused a delay in the participants' responses and made the gathering take longer than expected. The tour went smoothly, but there were some people who were late each time for the meeting. The guide was very kind and always had a lovely smile. The driver also drove safely, and I truly appreciate their hard work. It was a great trip. If I have the opportunity again, I will definitely use your services. Thank you very much.

とても良かったです。集合場所は分かりましたが当日の車両が、目印と書いてあった、セルリアンブルーさんのラッピングバスではなかったのと、ガイドさんはずっと参加者の名前を呼んでくれていましたが、通行している車の音にかき消されて、ほとんど聞こえなかったため参加者の反応が遅れ、集合に時間が掛かったように思います。ツアーは順調でしたが、集合時間に毎回遅れる方がいました。ガイドさんはとても親切で、いつも笑顔で素敵でした。ドライバーさんも安全運転で本当にお疲れ様でした。良い旅行になりました。また機会がありましたら利用させて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。

The guide was very good, but the lunch was the worst. The food was acceptable, but the rice was either too old or had been left out for too long; it was cold and hard, and it was terrible.

ガイドさんはとても良かったですが
お昼の食事が最悪でした。
料理は許せるが、お米が時間が経ち過ぎていたのか、冷たく、固くなっていて、最悪でした

The guide's service and the tour were both excellent. I definitely want to participate again when I visit Iriomote Island next time. Please consider joining as well!

ガイドさんの対応もツアーも最高でした。
次回西表島に訪れた際も、ぜひ参加したいと思います。
ぜひ参加してみてください。

In the morning, I participated in a mangrove kayaking activity, and in the afternoon, I went snorkeling in the Blue Cave.

We gathered around 9 AM, and I felt reassured as they picked us up from the hotel to start the day. The weather was clear and warm, and both activities offered stunning views! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, just as the tour promised.

The guides took a lot of photos with a GoPro throughout the tour, and I was grateful that they shared them with us on the same day, despite their busy schedule. It had been a while since I participated in such activities, but everyone was cheerful and lively, which made it enjoyable.

Personally, I was happy that lunch was flexible and we had plenty of time, allowing us to enjoy some gourmet food on the same day. It turned out to be a very satisfying day!

午前にマングローブ(カヤック)、午後に青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました

朝9時台の集合でしたが、ホテルまでピックアップに来ていただいて安心のスタート
当日は快晴で気温も高く、どちらのアクティビティも最高の景色を見れました！
シュノーケリングではツアー名のとおりウミガメにも遭遇できて、とてもラッキーでした

ガイドの方々は、ツアー中GoProでたくさん写真を取ってくださり、お忙しいのに当日にすぐシェアしていただけてありがたかったです
こういったアクティビティ参加は久々でしたが、みなさんハキハキとした明るい方で、楽しむことができました

個人的には、ランチが自由で時間に余裕もあったので、同日にグルメも楽しめて嬉しかったです。大満足の1日になりました！

After touring around Ishigaki Island, we were dropped off at the airport, so we scheduled our flight for the evening to participate. We were able to visit places that are difficult to explore on our own, such as the limestone caves and Kabira Bay. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and we had a wonderful time filled with laughter.

石垣島の島内を観光した後に空港で降ろしてもらえるので、飛行機の時間を夕方に設定して参加しました。
自分達で巡るのは困難な鍾乳洞、川平湾などを巡ることができました。
ガイドさんのお話が楽しく笑いっぱなしの素敵な時間でした。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since renting a car would be a waste for just one person, I joined a bus tour. The whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. At the café in front of the aquarium, you can enjoy a meal while watching the fish. I also opted for the steak full course, which was delicious.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、レンタカーは一人だともったいないのでバスツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館のジンベイサメは素晴らしかったです。水槽の前のカフェでは食事しながら魚がみれます。またステーキフルコース付きにしたので美味しかったです。

First of all, Shogo, who guided us on the canoe trip, was very good at talking and guiding, which made me feel secure throughout the tour! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I think we had a lot of fun.

When getting on the canoe, you will definitely get wet up to about halfway up your shins. I was a bit surprised by the coldness of the water at this time of year, but once you're on, there are splashes of water, yet you generally won't get soaked. Before we started, there was a lecture on how to paddle and use the oars, and then we gradually got used to it while actually entering the mangrove forest in the river? sea? brackish water. It was very enjoyable, experiencing a jungle cruise-like atmosphere as we navigated the increasingly narrow waterways, and we had plenty of time to enjoy it!

As you can see, the water buffalo pulls the canoe, so you don't have to exert any effort! Throughout the day, I think the temperature was around 22 degrees Celsius, but I wore a swimsuit underneath, a short-sleeved T-shirt on top, and a light jacket, which made it feel quite warm during the canoeing!

Before the water buffalo ride, we had lunch near Uehara Port, and the guide recommended some places to eat! There was a shower to change out of wet clothes before lunch, so it might be a good idea to prepare a bag for wet items!

Overall, it was a very enjoyable day and a great experience!

まず、今回カヌーを案内してくれたショウゴさん、とても話上手で、ガイドも上手で安心してツアーを終えることができました！
天気は生憎の曇天でしたが、かなり楽しめた方だと思います。
カヌーに乗船する時は確実に膝下半分ぐらいまで濡れます。この時期水の冷たさに少し驚きましたが、乗ってしまえば水しぶきはありますが、基本浸水して濡れるようなことはありません。漕ぎ方やオールの使い方などは乗る前にレクチャーがあり、その後しばらく川？海？汽水域で慣らしながら実際にマングローブ林に入っていきます。段々細くなる水路にジャングルクルーズのような雰囲気を味わいながらとても楽しく、そして十分な時間楽しめました！
水牛は見てのとおり、牛が引っ張って行ってくれるのでなにもちからは使いません！
1日を通して気温22度ぐらいで推移していたと思いますが、下に水着を着て、その上に半袖Tシャツに、薄手のジャンバーでカヌーの途中は暑いぐらいでした！
このツアーでは水牛の前に上原港近くで各自昼食を取りますが、ガイドさんがオススメを教えてくれます！
昼食前にカヌーで濡れた服装などを着替えるシャワーがあり、濡れた物をいれる袋など用意しておくと良いかもしれません！
総じて非常に楽しめた1日でとても良い経験になりました！

I'm glad I was taken to the Churaumi Aquarium and Manzamo, which are difficult to reach without a car. The Pineapple Park was also larger than I expected, and I had a great time there.

車がないと行きづらい美ら海水族館や万座毛に連れて行ってもらえて良かったです。
パイナップルパークも思っていたより広くて楽しめました。

When we arrived, the weather was quite bad, but during the mangrove tour, the weather was really nice, and I was truly moved by the beautiful scenery. We also got to experience water buffalo riding, and the gelato shop recommended by Koko was absolutely delicious! Koko, who always had a wonderful smile, made it the best debut on Iriomote Island. ☺️

到着時は天候が悪めでしたが、マングローブツアー中はとても良い天気で、素敵な景色が見れてほんっとに感動でした。
水牛体験もでき、こっこさんオススメのジェラート屋さんはとっても美味しかったです！
ずっと笑顔が素敵なこっこさんが担当してくださって最高の西表島デビューになりました☺️

The weather forecast the day before predicted light rain, so I thought, "Well, it should be fine!" and was feeling relaxed. However, just before the experience started, it began to pour! I was feeling a bit down thinking, "SUP in this weather...," but thanks to our guide Genki's positive encouragement, saying, "Actually, it's a lucky experience that you can't have often," I thought, "That's true!" and ended up enjoying SUP. The mangroves and the heavy rain created an even more extraordinary atmosphere, making it a wonderful memory! ✨

前日の天気予報では小雨ぐらいだったので、「まぁ、大丈夫だろ〜」と呑気に考えていたら体験開始直前に大雨に！！
「こんな中でSUP…」とテンションが若干下がっていたのですが、ガイドのゲンキさんの「逆になかなか出来ない体験だからラッキー」という前向きな励ましのおかげで「たしかに…！」にと楽しんでSUPを楽しむことができました✨マングローブ&大雨で、より非日常の世界感でとても良い思い出になりました！
