All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I searched online and made a reservation because the Ishigaki Island option tour for the Queen Elizabeth cruise was fully booked. The website's explanation was easy to understand, and I had a fun day.
1. It was cheaper than the option tour.
2. The sightseeing spots were sufficiently covered.
3. I was able to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay.
4. The guide was knowledgeable and informative, and the conversation was entertaining.

クイーンエリザベスクルーズの石垣島オプションツアーが満席のため、ネットで検索し予約しました。Webの説明がわかりやすく楽しい一日を過ごせました。
　①オプションツアーより安かった
　②観光地は十分網羅されている
　③川平湾でグラスボートに乗れた
　④ガイドさんの知識が豊富で勉強になったうえ、会話が面白い

The tour itself was enjoyable, with the captain providing explanations about the islands, the bus driver giving insights, and the boatman during the water buffalo cart ride and Nakama River cruise all being very kind and thorough in their guidance. I had a great time exploring. However, when I asked the staff at the counter for suggestions on how to pass the time after returning to port and before my next schedule, I was a bit disappointed that there were no particular recommendations, as it might have been outside their service.

ツアー自体は道中の船長さんの島々の解説やバスの運転手さんの解説、水牛車、仲間川クルーズの船頭さんなど皆さん懇切丁寧に説明、ガイドしてくださり楽しく周遊出来ました。
帰港してから次の予定までの時間が空いた時の時間潰しをカウンターの方に伺っても、サービス外かもしれませんが特に提案が無かったのが残念かなとおもいました。

I traveled alone as a woman. I could have rented a car from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since it was my first time in Okinawa and I wasn't familiar with the roads, I decided to join a tour. In the end, I’m really glad I did! My destination was just the Churaumi Aquarium, but I was able to see other sights as well, which was very helpful. During the ride, the bus guide shared a lot of information, making the journey enjoyable. And above all, the bus guide was funny! Thank you, Kyan-san and the driver.

女性1人旅行で利用しました。
那覇→美ら海水族館までレンタカーでもよかったけど、1人だし初めての沖縄で道に慣れていないので、ツアーに申し込みました。
結果的に利用して本当によかったです！
目的地は美ら海水族館だけだったけど、他も一緒に観光できて助かりましたし、走行中、バスガイドさんがいろいろ教えてくださり、道中も楽しく移動することができました。
そして、何よりバスガイドさんが面白い！
きゃんさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。

The tour guide was great, able to speak English and very efficient. The lunch was sashimi, and it was delicious. The hike at Oishi Forest was also enjoyable.

添乗員さん、英会話も出来てテキパキして良かったです。 ランチはお刺身でしたが、美味しくいただきました。大石林山のハイキングも楽しかったです。

I couldn't see the mangrove roots due to high tide, but it was nice to take a route I don't usually travel. The water buffalo were really calm and doing their job well. It was great to be back after seven years.

満潮の時間でマングローブの根っこは見れませんでしたが、いつもは通らない航路で良かったです。
水牛は、本当に大人しくしっかり仕事してますね。
７年ぶりでしたが、良かったです。

A tour that efficiently visits the three islands of Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in a short amount of time. The boat is shared with a large tour group, and there are about 70 participants in this tour itself. A system has been established to efficiently handle a large number of tourists. At each location, the guidance is smooth, almost like an assembly line. It may feel a bit impersonal, but I suppose that's within the acceptable range for tourist spots...

I chose a free plan for Taketomi Island without much thought, but it takes about 15 minutes on foot from the port to the town center. I didn't have the energy to go further to places like Kondoi Beach, so I returned to the port. Even if it costs a bit more, I think it's better to have a rental bicycle with a shuttle service from the port to the town center or a bus tour from the start. By the way, there is a rental bicycle available for 600 yen for 2 hours once you reach the town center, but be careful as you can't return it at the port.

Overall, the tour was compact and allowed us to visit the three islands, which was great.

時短で効率的に、西表島、由布島、竹富島の三島をめぐるツアー。
船は大手ツアーと混載、またこのツアー自体も70人くらいの参加。
効率よく大量に観光客をさばくシステムが確立している。
行く場所行く場所で流れ作業のごとくスムーズに案内される。
少し味気ないが、まあ観光地あるあるで許容範囲か…

竹富島は、よくわからずフリープランにしたが、船着場から中心地までは徒歩15分はかかる。そこからさらにコンドイ浜等に行く体力もなく、船着場にトンボ帰りした。
多少お金がかかってもこの島ははじめから、船着場から中心地まで車の送迎があるレンタサイクルか、バス観光がベターだと思う。ちなみに、中心部まで行くと2時間600円のレンタサイクルはあるが、船着場での乗り捨てが出来ないので要注意。

ツアー自体はコンパクトに三島周れて良かった。

The weather was nice, and we had plenty of time—three whole hours—at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, which was really great. I thought three hours was just the right amount of time for a group, although I could have spent even more time there. Other places were also wonderful. In particular, Nago Pineapple Park had many blooming orchids, and the atmosphere was lovely. I would love to participate again.

天気も良かったし、美ら海水族館だけで、時間もたっぷり3時間もあったし、本当によかったです。
もっと時間があってもいいくらいでしたが、団体で動くなら3時間はちょうどいい時間だと思いました。
他もいい場所ばかりでした。特にナゴパイナップルパークは蘭の花がたくさん咲いていて、雰囲気がよかったです。
また参加したいです。

For our first trip to Okinawa, we chose this tour to spend three hours at the Churaumi Aquarium, which my grandchildren love.

Of course, we enjoyed the highlight, the Churaumi Aquarium, but the Nago Pineapple Park exceeded our expectations. I thought the announcements during the journey would only be in a multilingual machine voice, but the tour guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English about the stops and scenic views along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, efficiently visiting the main tourist spots on Okinawa Island within our limited time, and both adults and children were very satisfied.

初めての沖縄、水族館が大好きな孫たちの為に美ら海水族館に3時間滞在するということでこのツアーを選択しました。

目玉の美ら海水族館ももちろん楽しめましたが、名護パイナップルパークも期待以上、道中の案内は多国籍後対応の機械音声ということで生音声の案内は無いのかと思いきや、添乗員さんが適宜、立ち寄り先や車窓の見所を日本語と英語で説明してくださって充実したツアーを満喫、限られた沖縄滞在時間の中で沖縄本島の主要観光地を効率的に回ることが出来て、大人も子供も大満足でした。

Departing from Ishigaki Port, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of mangroves while listening to the fun explanations from our guide on Iriomote Island. I saw rare butterflies and rode a water buffalo across the sea. At that moment, the young man handling the water buffalo played the sanshin and sang, which was moving. The houses on Taketomi Island were incredibly beautiful structures. I was strolling around the island on foot, but I was sticky with sweat from my pants and shirt. I recommend using a rental bicycle. Next time, I want to visit Hateruma Island, which I haven't been to yet.

石垣港から出航
西表島でガイドさんの楽しい説明を聞きながらマングローブが広がる景色を満喫
珍しいチョウを見たり、水牛に乗って海渡りこの時水牛を扱うお兄さんが三線を弾き歌ってくれたので感動しました。
竹富島の民家は物凄く綺麗な建造物でした。
私は徒歩で島内を散策してたのですがパンツ-シャツ汗でベタベタ
レンタルサイクル利用がお勧めです
次回はまだ行ってない波照間島とかに行ってみたいです。

When I come to Okinawa Island, I always participate in this tour. This time, as soon as we arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium, the weather improved, and I was able to enjoy the Okichan Theater, which was fantastic. American Village was also great.

沖縄本島に来た時は、必ずこのツアーに参加します。
今回は、美ら海水族館に到着と同時に、天気が良くなり、
おきちゃん劇場も楽しく鑑賞出来て最高でした。
アメリカンビレッジも良かったです

It was a meaningful day, guided by a kind driver and a reliable guide to places that are very difficult to reach on a solo trip, from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. I was happy to meet Kuuta-kun, the Okinawa rail.

朝7:30から18:30まで、一人旅ではとても行けない場所を優しい運転手さんとしっかり者のガイドさんに案内して頂き、有意義な一日でした。
ヤンバルクイナのクー太くんに会えて嬉しかった。

これは私の沖縄への2回目の訪問ですが、主要な観光地を一度に巡るツアーを強くお勧めします。とても親切なガイドがいて、沖縄の主要な観光地を選んで案内してくれ、沖縄旅行を楽しむための素晴らしい場所に導いてくれました。もし後で機会があれば、再度参加したいと思います。

This is my second visit to Okinawa, but I highly recommend this tour if it is to tour all the major attractions at once. They showed you a very friendly guide and a selection of major attractions in Okinawa, and guide you to a wonderful place to enjoy your trip to Okinawa. If I have a chance later, I would like to attend again.

It was a very windy day, and the boat ride from Ishigaki to Iriomote was extremely bumpy. (This was due to the weather, and not because of any issues with the tour!) It felt like being on a roller coaster, and even though I took motion sickness medication beforehand, it was quite tough. There were quite a few screams echoing inside the boat.

After a challenging journey, we finally arrived at Iriomote Island, but I felt unwell for a while. In my case, I had to take a mangrove cruise right away, which made me fearful of being on another boat, but this one was stable and well-ventilated, so I was okay.

After that, I was able to enjoy the tour smoothly!

I was very worried about the return trip to Taketomi Island, but the wind calmed down, and the boat was less rocky, so it was fine.

On Taketomi Island, I had chosen a free walk option because the bus tours were fully booked at the time of reservation, but it was a hot day, making walking quite difficult. We walked to the center, but my child got tired, and we didn't feel like walking to the beach, so we turned back and returned.

During the hot season, if you're good with the heat, renting a bicycle might be a good option, but there are quite a few hills, so that could also be tough.

風の強い日だった為、石垣～西表までの船がもの凄い揺れでした。
(※天候のせいであって、ツアーが悪いわけではありません！)
ジェットコースターに乗っている様で、酔い止めを飲んでから乗ったにも関わらず、かなり辛かったです。
船の中で結構悲鳴が響いていました。

やっとの思いで西表島に着いて、しばらく具合が悪く、私の場合はすぐにマングローブの遊覧船だったので、また船かと恐怖でしたが、こちらは揺れずに、風通しも良い船だったので、大丈夫でした。

その後は順調にツアーを楽しめました！

帰りの竹富島までの移動がとても心配でしたが、風が落ち着いて、船の揺れも少なくて、大丈夫でした。

竹富島では、予約時にはバスツアーがもういっぱいで、フリーウォークを選択しましたが、暑い日だったので歩くのが大変でした。
中心部まで歩きましたが、子供が疲れてしまい、ビーチ等まで歩く気が起きずに、そのまま引き返して帰りました。

暑い季節は、暑さに強い方はレンタサイクルでもいいかもしれませんが、坂道多めなので、それも辛いかもしれません。

The weather was mostly cloudy, and it was lucky that it cleared up for a moment at Kabira Bay. However, thanks to the humorous storytelling of our male guide, we enjoyed a pleasant atmosphere throughout the tour. I was thrilled to see sea turtles swimming while on the glass-bottom boat! The tour was nearly full, but it was packed with highlights, which explains its popularity. I highly recommend it. I would like to try again on a sunny day.

終始曇りで、川平湾で一瞬晴れたのがラッキーくらいの天気でした。
しかし、男性のガイドさんのユーモアあふれる話術で、終始和やかな雰囲気で楽しめました。
グラスボートで泳いでいるウミガメを見ることができて感激です！
ほぼ満員のツアーでしたが、見どころがぎゅっと詰まった内容で人気もうなづけます。オススメです。
また晴れた日に再チャレンジしてみたいです。

The mangrove tour was fascinating. We were able to observe the roots well at low tide. I've heard that the characteristic roots of the mangroves are not visible at high tide, so I think participating on a day when low tide occurs from the morning to noon would be more enjoyable. The ox cart on Yubu Island was peaceful, and it truly looked like a slow-life scene straight out of a guidebook. I didn't have high expectations for the lunch bento since it was part of the tour, but it was very delicious, featuring local ingredients. The glass-bottom boat tour in Taketomi Island was great; the captain was very knowledgeable about where to find fish, and we were able to see a lot of tropical fish, which made my elementary school-aged child very happy.

マングローブツアーが興味深いです。ちょうど干潮のタイミングで、根っ子がよく観察できました。満潮だとマングローブの特徴の根っ子が見えないそうなので、午前中からお昼にかけて干潮になる日に参加した方がより楽しめると思います。由布島の牛車も長閑で、まさにガイドブックで見るスローライフの景色そのものでした。昼食の弁当はツアーなのであまり期待していませんでしたが、地元の食材を使った品々でとても美味しかったです。竹富島のグラスボートは船長さんが魚がいるポイントを熟知していらっしゃって熱帯魚を沢山見ることができ、小学生の子供も大喜びでした。

It was a highly satisfying tour that allowed us to efficiently visit three islands. I participated on a slightly cloudy day, but it was not too hot, making it a perfect temperature for strolling around.

３つの島を効率よく巡ることができて、とても満足度の高いツアーでした。少し薄曇りの日に参加しましたが、暑すぎず、散策にはちょうど良い気温でした。

It was in the order of Ishigaki > Iriomote > Yufu > Taketomi!
On Iriomote, not only did we take a boat, but the bus driver also guided us during the ride, and we got to hear various stories.
In Taketomi, I chose to do a free walk, but my legs were completely exhausted, so I ended up renting a bicycle on-site.
I felt it might have been better to have that arranged from the start.

石垣〉西表〉由布〉竹富〉石垣の順でした！
西表では船はもちろん、バス移動の間も運転手さんがガイドしてくださり、色んなお話しが聞けました。
竹富ではフリーウォークを選択しましたが、足が疲れ切っていたので、結局現地でレンタサイクルを借りました。
最初からつけといてもいいかも？と感じました。

It was a short trip, but I was able to efficiently visit the highlights of Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island from the morning, and return to Ishigaki Island before the evening, making good use of my time.

短い旅行でしたが朝から西表島・由布島・竹富島の見どころを効率的に回り、夕方前には石垣島に戻れるので時間を有効に使えました。

It was a packed and fulfilling tour. The sightseeing boat and the water buffalo cart were experiences I wouldn't normally have, so it became a wonderful memory!

The weather was cloudy, but for this tour, cloudy weather is actually better. If it were sunny, it would be hot and tiring.

盛りだくさんで、1日が充実したツアーでした。 遊覧船も、水牛車も、普段は経験出来ないので、すごくいい思い出になりました!

天気は曇りでしたが、このツアーに参加するなら、曇がいいですね。 晴れだと暑くて疲れちゃいます。

It was a tour that was quite enjoyable, with the guide's words being educational and keeping us engaged. It was a shame that the Churaumi Aquarium was crowded and we couldn't see much, but we had fun playing in the ocean. However, it was a rather busy tour (￣∀￣), but it was good because we got to go to various places.

退屈せず、ガイドさんの言葉は勉強になり、かなり楽しめたツアーでした。
美ら海水族館が混雑してて、あまり見れないのが残念でしたが、海で遊んだり楽しかったです。
ただ、かなり忙しいツアー内容ですが(￣∀￣)色々行けたから良いです。

We leisurely explored the village of Taketomi Island while listening to the guide's singing and shamisen. The explanations were interesting, and everyone who participated was smiling. It was a valuable experience as I had never seen a water buffalo up close before. I was truly happy to spend time surrounded by beautiful flowers, the unique architecture of the tropics, and shisa. I definitely want to visit Taketomi Island again to be rejuvenated.

ガイドさんの歌と三味線を聴きながら竹富島の集落をのんびり見学しました。説明は面白く、参加した皆さん笑顔でした。間近で水牛を見た事が無かったので貴重な体験でした。とてもきれいな花や、南国独特の家構え、シーサーなど見るもの全てに癒されて本当に幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ぜひ、また竹富島に癒されに行きたいと思います。

We were blessed with good weather, and our guide was a veteran with a wonderful voice who shared many interesting stories, allowing us to have an efficient and fulfilling sightseeing experience. I unfortunately forgot their name, but I am truly grateful.

Among the many tours departing from Naha, it was great that there were several pickup locations. However, in the morning, I had to take a taxi from my accommodation to the nearest hotel for just under 3,000 yen, which was unfortunate. On the way back, thanks to the thoughtfulness of the guide and the driver, they asked for our accommodation and dropped us off nearby, which was a great help since I was traveling with my elderly mother.

I highly recommend this tour for those who do not have a rental car. Thank you very much.

お天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんもベテランで、よくとおるいいお声でいろいろと面白いお話をたくさんしてくださり、効率よく充実した観光をすることができて本当に良かったです。お名前をうっかり忘れてしまいましたが、本当に感謝しております。
那覇発着のツアーが多い中、ピックアップ場所がたくさんあったのもよかったです。（とはいえ、朝は宿泊先から３０００円弱かけて、最寄のホテルまでタクシーで行かねばならず、それはざんねんでしたが。。。）帰りは、ガイドさんとドライバーさんのお気遣いで、宿泊先をきいてくださり、その近くでおろしていただけ、高齢の母と参加していたため本当に助かりました。
レンタカーをしていないかたには、本当におすすめのツアーです。
ありがとうございました。

I was worried about the rain, but there was no rain and it was cloudy, so it might have been just right. It was my first experience with water buffalo, and their cries were cute.

雨が心配でしたが
雨もなく、曇りだったので
ちょうど良かったかもしれません。
水牛も初めての体験だったのと
鳴き声も
かわいいかったです。

This was a recommended tour for my first trip to the Yaeyama Islands. I was glad to be able to visit three islands in one day.

The ferry to the remote islands is worth the extra 500 yen for the premium seat, and I highly recommend it.

I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, and that was a great choice as well.

初めての八重山諸島の旅にはおすすめなツアーでした。
一日で3島を巡る事ができてよかったです。

離島への船は、プレミアムシートをプラス500円払ってでも価値がありおすすめです。

竹富島ではレンタルサイクルをしましたが、それも正解でした。

It was a windy day, but I was able to ride with the elderly sea grandfather. I also spent time with Ichiro and Rui. I felt that each of them had their own personality and acted differently. It was a very good experience.

風の強い日でしたが、お年寄りの海おじいさんに乗せてもらいました。その他に一郎君やルイ君など。それぞれに個性があり、行動も異なることを感じました。とても良い体験をしました。

I planned the trip with my grandchild in mind. Since it was just the two of us traveling, I wanted to avoid driving. I've used Beltora's tours several times, and there were no particular issues. The male guide was very clear in his explanations, and I was impressed by how hard he worked to manage the crowds at Churaumi. The helpful tips at each sightseeing spot were also appreciated. I would like to use Beltora (Jumbo Tours?) again when I visit Okinawa.

孫との旅行の為、子供中心に予定をたてました。
孫と2人での旅行だったので、車の運転は避けたかったです。ベルトラの、ツアーは、何回か利用してますが、
特に問題はなかったです。
カイドの男性の方も、わかりやすく、美ら海での混雑時の対応には、必死になって走ってくれてるのが感動敵的でした。各観光場所でのお得情報もありがたかったです。また、沖縄にいった際には、ベルトラ（ジャンボツアー？）利用したいです。

I participated with a female friend. Since it was just around the graduation travel season, the bus was full, and there were many university students. Because it was a bus tour, there were strict time limits, and we didn't have enough time at Pineapple Park, so we just passed by, and we could only visit the aquarium in the large seaside park. I wish we could have seen a bit more, so I think it would be good to research in advance what areas you want to visit. To maximize sightseeing time, I recommend having meals on the bus since eating and drinking are allowed.

Additionally, the bus guide provided explanations about Okinawa's history and the places we were going to visit during the long journey, which kept us entertained. It was also a nice point that the hotel we stayed at was one of the bus stops. Overall, it was a very enjoyable bus tour! The only disappointing part was that it rained, so I would like to participate again next time when the weather is clear!

女友達と2人で参加しました。
ちょうど卒業旅行シーズンだったこともあり、満席で大学生くらいの人が多かったです。
バスツアーなので時間の制限が厳しい面もあり、パイナップルパークでは時間が足りず、素通りしてしまったり広い海浜公園の中でも水族館しか行けなかったりともう少し見たかったな、というところもあったのでどの辺りをみたいか、事前にリサーチしておくといいと思います。最大限観光に時間を使うためにもバスの中で飲食可能なため、食事をバスの中で取ることをお勧めします。
また、長い道中もバスガイドさんが沖縄の歴史やこれから行く場所の説明もしてくださり、退屈することなく過ごすことができました。自分たちが泊まったホテルが停留所の一つだったことも嬉しいポイントでした。
全体的にとても楽しいバスツアーでした！雨だったことが唯一の残念なところだったので次は晴れている時にまた参加したいと思います！

Renting a car to tour Okinawa alone can be challenging, so it was efficient and enjoyable to use the bus for sightseeing. I appreciated that tickets for the tourist spots were arranged in advance, allowing for a smooth experience. There were places I wouldn't have chosen to visit on my own, but I ended up enjoying them, and having them as part of a package added to the fun.

一人で沖縄を観光するのにレンタカーで回るのは大変なので、バスで効率的に観光できて楽でした。
観光スポットのチケットも手配してあって、まとめて回れて良かったです。
自分では行くと選ばないスポットも、行ってみると楽しめて、セットになっているとそういう楽しみもありました。

It was really great. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and it rained while we were moving, but it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice. I wanted to see the scenery in the sunshine. I wished I had one more hour at Daishi Forest Mountain. The tour was the most healing experience. I'm glad I went.

すごく良かったです。
あいにく曇りで移動中に雨が降ったりしましたが、これでお天気が良ければ最高に良かった。晴れてる景色が見たかった〜
大石林山は後1時間多く時間が欲しかった〜
ツアーで1番癒されたました。
行って良かったです。

The tour was well-organized and very enjoyable. I had some concerns about participating in the tour as a pregnant woman in her stable period, but I was able to relax and fully enjoy it. The highlight for me was riding the water buffalo cart, which I had always dreamed of doing.

ツアーに無駄がなく、とても楽しめました。
安定期の妊婦でのツアー参加に少し不安はありましたが、のんびりと満喫できました。
憧れの水牛車に乗れたのが1番嬉しかったです。
