All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

This was my first tour. I was nervous at first, but the tour guide was kind and I enjoyed the tour without any worries. The Churaumi Aquarium was, of course, beautiful, and I was moved by the other places as well.

今回初めてのツアーできた。
最初は緊張しましたが添乗員が親切にしてくれて心配なくツアーを満喫しました。
美ら海水族館はもちろん、他の場所も綺麗で感動しました。

The water buffalo was so cute! I took a picture with it, and even though I didn't plan to buy anything, after seeing the photo, I ended up purchasing it. There was no smell at all, and the guide's stories were interesting, which made it really enjoyable. The bus guide was also very entertaining, and a crowned eagle appeared by chance and he told us about it. I highly recommend it!

水牛可愛かったー
写真を一緒に撮って、買うつもり無かったけど
出来た写真見たらとても良く買ってしまった
匂いも全然無くガイドさんの話も面白くとても良い
バスのガイドさんもとっても話が面白く冠ワシも偶然現れて教えてくれた
とってもオススメ

I wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium since I couldn't drive, so that was my main goal. However, the Submarine Jr. II at Kouri Island, where you can see the beautiful underwater scenery, was more enjoyable than I expected. It was a full-day tour, and I got tired from the sun and heat, but I recommend it for those who want to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but can't drive.

免許が無いので運転はできない状況で美ら海水族館に行きたかったのでそれがメインでしたが、古宇利島も綺麗な海の中が見られるサブマリンJrⅡも思っていたより楽しかったです。丸一日のツアーだったのと日差しと暑さで疲れましたが、美ら海水族館に行きたいけど運転できない人にはおすすめです。

My 86-year-old father also participated. The boat from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island was beautiful. We were able to see plenty of mangroves, and the guide, who was also the bus driver from the port to Yubu Island, was entertaining, making it one of my memorable experiences on Iriomote Island. We rode on water buffalo, and we had enough free time to explore Yubu Island, so I was very satisfied.

86歳の父も参加しました。石垣島から西表島までの船も綺麗。マングローブも思う存分見れたし、船着場から由布島までのバスの運転手さん兼ガイドの方のガイドが面白おかしくて西表島の思い出の一つになりました。水牛に乗ったり、由布島も自由行動で十分見れましたし、大満足です。

I participated because I wanted to explore the sights without a car. It was fun to see various places with explanations, but I wished I had a bit more free time, especially at places like Kabira Bay. When I got on the glass-bottom boat, there was hardly any time to do anything.

車なしで見どころを回りたかったので参加しました。色々解説付きでみれたのは楽しかったけど、川平湾などでもう少し自由時間が欲しかったです。グラスボートに乗ったら何もする時間がないくらいでした。

The guide sang songs for us, and the bus arrived on time, making it a very pleasant trip. The content of the tour was also not bad.

ガイドさんが歌を歌ってくれたり、時間通りにバスが来て、とても気分が良い旅行でした。ツアーの内容も悪くは無い内容でした。

It was a great opportunity to enjoy a view of the sea in Ishigaki Island, have a delicious lunch, and exchange information with the people I met there. The guide's sanshin performance and singing were also wonderful. I made great memories.

石垣島の海を一望したり美味しいお昼を食べたり、そこで出会えた方と情報交換できたりいい機会でした。ガイドさんの三線と歌も良かったです。良い思い出ができました。

It was just as I expected from the bus tour. It was neither good nor bad. If the course suits your preferences, I don't think there will be any issues.

予想していた通りのバスツアーでした。
可もなく不可もなくと言う感じでした。
コース的にお好みであれば問題はないと思いますよ。

Since I participated during the holiday period of spring break, it was crowded in various places. However, the scheduled time was just right, and I was generally able to visit the places I wanted to see. Additionally, the guide's atmosphere was very pleasant, and the explanations were interesting, so I was able to spend the bus time without getting bored.

参加したのが春休み期間の休日ということもあり、各地混雑していました。ですが、設定時間が程よく、見たいと考えていたところは概ね見て回ることができました。
またガイドの方の雰囲気がとても良く、説明も興味深かったためバスの時間も退屈せず過ごすことができました。

The weather was great, and we were able to visit many places. The guide was very polite, and we had a wonderful time! I think it's a great deal to visit so many places in one day for this price!

天候にも恵まれて、たくさんの場所を回れて、ガイドさんもとても丁寧な方で、とても楽しく過ごせました！
一日でこんなに回れてこのお値段は安いと思います！

I was able to ride in a leisurely cart pulled by a water buffalo, and along the way, I listened to the music of the sanshin, which refreshed my spirit. I want to go again.

のんびりした水牛が引く車に乗せていただき、途中サンシン（？）の音楽を聴かせていただきながら、心を洗わせていただきました。
また、行きたいです。

I was able to ride the water buffalo cart twice! It was great to enjoy the atmosphere of the southern island while listening to the shamisen. Personally, I really liked Yufu Island. The water buffalo I got to touch was so cute!

水牛車に2回も乗れました！
三味線聞きながら、南の島の雰囲気があじわえてよかったです。個人的には由布島が良かったです。触れる水牛さんが可愛いかった！

I was able to efficiently visit must-see spots in Okinawa, such as Cape Manzamo, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Additionally, the tour price was reasonable, so I think it's a tour I can recommend to anyone.

万座毛や古宇利島、美ら海水族館など沖縄を訪れたら必ず行きたいスポットを効率よく回ることができた。また、ツアーの値段もお手ごろなので、誰にでもオススメできるツアーだと思った。

The bus guide was really great, providing insights about the highlights and the area, as well as recommendations for food. If you're planning a long-distance trip for a day, bus tours are definitely a good option!

見どころや地域の解説、おすすめの食べ物のお話しなど、バスガイドさんがとても良かった。日帰りで長距離移動するなら、バス観光もありだな！

I was pulled by a water buffalo across the shallow sea from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart! Although the buffalo was large, I worried if it would be okay with about 18 people on the cart. However, it pulled us strongly, and according to the guide and driver, the buffalo loves to move in the water the most.

Along the way, the guide played "Asadoya Yunta" on the sanshin, which made me feel very warm and happy as I swayed in the water buffalo cart. Yufu Island is a cute island with a somewhat ruined and rough feel, but I accepted it as it is, and I was thrilled by the sign for the yellow Iriomote wildcat!

I was also delighted to see many unique mangrove forests during the mangrove tour. The lunch bento was filled with Okinawan-style side dishes, which made me very satisfied.

I think it was great to participate in this tour where I could see various places.

Next time, I would like to try trekking on Iriomote Island.

海の浅瀬を水牛に引いてもらって西表島から由布島へ渡りました。初めての水牛車‼️大きな水牛ではありましたが車に乗るのが18人ほどで本当に牛さんは大丈夫なのだろうかと心配になりました。しかし力強く引いてくれ、ガイド兼運転手のおじさんの話では水牛は水の中で動くのが一番好きなんだとか。
途中からおじさんが三線で「安里屋ゆんた」を弾いてくれ、とても優しい気持ちになりながら水牛車に揺られ楽しかったです。
由布島はかわいい島でやや廃墟がかった感じと雑な感じもありますが、それはそう言うものだと納得し、黄色のイリオモテヤマネコの看板に感激しました❣️
マングローブ遊覧も変わったマングローブの林をたくさん見れて嬉しかったです。
お昼のお弁当も沖縄らしいおかずがいっぱいで満足でした。

いろいろなところが見れて盛りだくさんのツアーで参加して良かったと思います。

次回は西表島でトレッキングもやってみたいです。

I wonder if the mangrove forest was necessary; I could have spent that time at Daishi Forest Mountain instead. I could hardly hear the bus travel guide recording.

マングローブ原生林は、要らなかったかな、その時間を大石林山に回していればなー、バス移動のレコーダー案内はほとんど聴き取れなかった。

We decided to go on a family trip to Ishigaki for the first time and thought about visiting the outer islands. Since planning the itinerary seemed cumbersome, we opted to join a tour. We were able to make effective use of our time from early morning until 6 PM, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much.

初めての石垣家族旅行で離島にいってみようということになり、日程をくむのが面倒なのでツアー参加することにしました。朝早くから18じまで、時間を有効に使え、大変満喫することができました。どうもありがとうございました。

I was worried about the rain forecast from the previous day, but I'm glad that the weather forecast for Ishigaki Island was unreliable. The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. Additionally, it was inexpensive due to the ongoing campaign. I missed the free pickup bus, but I managed to board the boat on my own. I almost ended up having to cancel.

前日の雨予報でどうなるかと思いましたが、石垣島の天気予報はあてにならなくて良かったです。天気も良く、とても楽しかったです、また、キャンペーン中で安かった。無料のピックアップのバスに乗り遅れましたが、なんとか自力で乗船できました。危うくキャンセルになるところでした。

Anyway, I was moved by how beautiful Kabira Bay is. There were foreign ships coming in, and it was fun to experience the atmosphere with so many Westerners around.

とにかく川平湾がきれいで感動しました。外国船が入国していて欧米人がいっぱいで外国気分も味わえて楽しかったです。

Fourth visit to Okinawa, solo trip.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was about time to travel again, and with the nationwide travel subsidy, the bus was almost full and bustling.
Churaumi Aquarium:
There used to be three whale sharks, but now there is only one, and the large tank looks lonely (-_-;) The dolphin show at Okichan Theater was enjoyable even for a solo traveler, with the children's cheers adding to the fun. They are so talented!!
Kouri Island:
I only visited the beach and the roadside station for souvenirs, so I was disappointed that I couldn't go to Heart Rock Tower. The bridge leading to Kouri Island is beautiful no matter when you visit.
Chatan American Village:
It's Christmas Town all year round. The delicious food left me not only in a good mood but also completely satisfied. The sunset at the end was the best.
I appreciate the long bus journey, safe driving, and the support from the guide.

沖縄４回目の訪問で一人旅
コロナ禍でそろそろ限界、全国旅行給付もありバスはほぼ満席で盛況。
美ら海：
３匹いたジンベイザメが１匹になり大きな水槽がさみしそう(-_-;)
イルカショーのオキちゃん劇場はおひとりさまでも、子供の歓声もあり楽しめました。芸達者でいい！！
古宇利島：
ビーチ、道の駅でお土産のみで、ハートロックタワーに行けなかったのが残念。古宇利島へ続く一本橋は何時行っても素敵の一言
北谷アメリカンビレッチ：
一年中クリスマスタウン＊美味しいごはん、気分だけでなくお腹も大満足です。最後のサンセットは最高
長いバス旅、安全運転、ガイドさんのサポートに感謝です。

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand. Also, the song about the sugarcane fields was really great. I was moved to tears!

ガイドさんのお話がとてもわかり易かった。
また、サトウキビ畑の唄が大変良かったです。涙ちよちよぎれ！

The aquarium took a long time to get to, so I felt a bit regretful that we didn't have enough time to explore. The guide not only provided sightseeing information but also shared insights about the current situation of the U.S. military bases and the feelings of the people of Okinawa, helping us understand the true nature of Okinawa. I found it very relatable and educational.

水族館は移動に時間がかかるので、その分、見学時間が足りなかったのが、少し心残りです。
ガイドさんは、単に観光案内だけでなく、米軍基地の現状や、沖縄の人たちの心情をしっかりとお話されて、沖縄の真の姿を理解させてくださいました。とても共感し、勉強になりました。

The weather wasn't very good, but the high-speed boat was fast and had little sway. It's great that you can step on Iriomote Island and see all the islands in one day! The water buffalo is cute.

てんこうはあまりよくなかったが、高速艇は早く揺れも少ない。一日で西表を踏めてすべての島を遠望できるのでGOOD！
水牛がかわいいぞ。

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she was a wonderful singer. I would love to join her again next time, but I forgot her name; she was the beautiful lady from March 8th.

ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく歌も上手で素敵な方でした。
又、次回もご一緒して頂きたいと思いますが名前を忘れました3月8日の綺麗なお姉さんでした。

It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, so I wasn't sure about the time and distances, but the female driver made various suggestions for me. She shared many recommendations for delicious food places during the ride, and the conversation was rich and engaging, making the four hours fly by. Thank you very much! The weather was also favorable, making it the best trip to Ishigaki Island.

I would highly recommend this sightseeing taxi service to those going on their first trip to Ishigaki Island!

はじめての石垣島旅行だったので、時間や距離感がわからず女性ドライバーさんがいろいろ提案してくださいました。
車内でも食べ物が美味しいお店など、たくさん教えて頂き話題も豊富で、あっという間の4時間でした。ありがとうございました！
天候にも恵まれたし最高の石垣島旅行になりました。

はじめての石垣島旅行に行かれる方々に、オススメしたい観光タクシーさんでした〜

We had a fun departure with the veteran guide's lively talk!

We enjoyed the Okinawa vibe on a remote island accessible by bus, and then headed to the main attraction, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There was plenty of time allocated, so we could leisurely enjoy the aquarium without rushing, and we also got to visit facilities that are not easily accessible on our own, which greatly increased our satisfaction! Additionally, it was more affordable than going individually, making it a great value for money.

ベテランガイドさんの軽快なトークで楽しく出発！

バスで行ける離島で沖縄気分を満喫し、
メインの美ら海水族館へ。
たっぷり時間を設けていただけるので、慌てることなくゆっくり水族館を楽しみ、個人ではなかなか行かないような施設にもよっていただけるので
満足度高いです！
また個人で行くよりもリーズナブルに行けたのでコスパいいです。

We participated as a couple and used a tour since we couldn't drive. Even if we could drive, the itinerary was so packed that we wouldn't have been able to see everything. It was great to cycle through the Fukugi tree-lined path! If I could wish for something, I would have liked to stay a bit longer in American Village.

夫婦で参加しましたが、車を運転できないのでツアーを利用しました。もし運転できても、この内容で回り切ることはできないくらいの充実ぶりでした。フクギ並木でサイクリングできたのが良かったです！欲を言ったらアメリカンビレッジは、もう少し長くいたかったです。

This is my second time with the water buffalo tour, and this time it was with the Taketomi Tourism Center. The laid-back water buffalo "Mae" stopped several times along the way to take breaks, and we enjoyed the path lined with bougainvillea. There is also a photo service available.

水牛観光は二度目ですが、
今回は竹富観光センターさんでした。
のんびりマイペースの水牛「真栄」君、
途中何度も立ち止まり、休憩しながら、
ブーゲンビリアの道をすすみ、
和みました。
写真サービスも、あります。

It was a very efficient tour where we could visit many highlights in just one day, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Kouri Island and American Village.

Additionally, our guide even showcased Okinawan folk songs and played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a fun time on the bus.

(On the bus, announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Korean, which made it reassuring for international visitors.)

Next time I go to Okinawa, I would love to take a bus tour again.

「美ら海水族館」をはじめ、「古宇利島」や「アメリカンビレッジ」など、見どころ満載なところを1日で見て回ることができる、非常に効率的なツアーでした。

また、ガイドさんが沖縄の民謡や三線の演奏まで披露して下さったので、バスの中でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

(バスの中では、英語・中国語・韓国語のアナウンスも流れていて、海外の人でも安心できます)

今度、沖縄に行ったらまたバスツアーで観光したいです。

It was a weekday, but everywhere was crowded, making it difficult to take our time exploring within the tour schedule. I was too concerned about the meeting time, and there were many people... so I felt like we had little free time. However, I enjoyed it because we were taken to many sightseeing spots.

平日でしたがどこも混み合ってて、ツアーの時間内ではゆっくり観て回るのはのは難しいですね。集合時間が気になり過ぎて人も多く…自由時間は少なかったかなと？
ですが、沢山観光地など連れて行っていただいたので楽しめました。
