All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

Guide was great...sang an Okinawan song to us, and with a good voice.

As a beginner, I was quite anxious at first, but the staff were very kind and taught me well, and I realized that diving can be enjoyable even if you can't swim!

Thank you very much!

初心者なので、最初結構不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんがとても丁寧に教えていただきまして、ダイヴィングは泳げなくても楽しめることを再認識しました！

本当にありがとうございました！

I've been to the main island many times, so honestly, there weren't any new places for me, but I wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park again, so I joined the tour. The guide was absolutely amazing! Their quick movements and consideration, plus their excellent English skills! It must be tiring to speak the same thing in Japanese and English twice...

One thing that concerned me was that we arrived at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at a somewhat awkward time for the "Oki-chan Show." Since it was a bit far, moving from indoors to the show and back was hot. However, if I were to visit all these places on my own, it would be difficult and expensive, so I think the cost performance is excellent! 😊

何度も本島に行っているので、正直初めての場所はありませんでしたが、美ら海水族館と久しぶりにパイナップルパークに行きたくてツアーに参加しました。なんと言ってもガイドの方が最高でした！動きや配慮のテキパキさ、めちゃくちゃ英語が堪能！日本語、英語と同じ事を二回話すのは疲れるでしょうね…
一つ気になったのは、美ら海水族館に着いたのは「オキちゃんショー」には中途半端な時間だった事。離れているので屋内→ショー→屋内の移動暑かったー。しかし、個人でこれだけの場所を周るとなると大変だし高くつくしコスパは最高だと思います(^^)

This time, since it was a trip with my elderly parents, I wanted to minimize walking while still having a satisfying plan, and I found this course! The cruise was great, and the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing were very good without unnecessary fatigue.

今回は高齢の両親との旅行だったので、なるべく歩かず、けれども満足行くプランでと思って探してヒットしたのがこのコースでした！
クルーズも良し、水牛車、バス観光と無駄に疲れることなく大変良かったです

It was a tour with high cost performance, allowing us to visit famous spots on Ishigaki Island and enjoy meals.

On the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and we couldn't ride the glass-bottom boat; we also got rained on at the observation deck. However, the guide's stories were interesting, and the content was very satisfying.

We arrived at the airport around 1:30 PM. It was a great tour that allowed us to enjoy Ishigaki Island until the last minute.

石垣島内の名所を巡り、食事も食べられる
コストパフォーマンスが高いツアーでした。

当日は天候が悪く、グラスボートに乗れず、展望台では雨にも降られましたが、ガイドの方のお話しも面白く、十分満足いく内容でした。

空港には13:30頃の到着でした。
ぎりぎりまで石垣島を楽しむことができるとても良いツアーでした。

The water buffalo carts, the buildings, and the people were all wonderful.

My stay on Taketomi Island was very short, so I felt a bit unsatisfied and definitely want to go back again.

水牛車も、建物も、人も全てよかったです。

竹富島の滞在が、すごく少なくて。。物足りなかったので、またぜひ行きたいと思いました。

The water buffalo on Taketomi Island was just as good as I expected. However, one disappointing thing was that despite checking in early to ride the water buffalo, I was skipped over several times. When I asked if it was my turn yet, I was told to wait a little longer, and then it turned out I had actually been forgotten. I was disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm from the staff at the reception.

竹富島の水牛は予想通り良かったです。
ただ一つ残念なのが水牛に乗るのに早く受付をしたのにも関わらず、何組にも飛ばされ、まだですか？と聞いたときにはもう少しお待ちくださいと言われ、それからまた待っていたら実際は忘れられていた。受付のやる気の無さにがっかり。

I signed up for a tour since I was traveling alone and didn't have a driver's license. The bus was cool, and the guide entertained us a lot, teaching us things I didn't know along the way with the beautiful scenery. The driver also greeted us every time we got off. I left the tour due to my own circumstances, but they treated me with kindness until the end. I'm glad I participated. The highlight of the tour was gaining various information and learning about Okinawa's history. I would like to join again. Thank you very much.

ひとり旅で免許もないので、ツアーに申し込んでみました。
バスは涼しいし、ガイドさんは沢山楽しませてくださり、知らなかったことも道すがらの風景と共に教えてくださいました。運転手さんも降りるたびに声を掛けてくださいました。
私の都合で離脱しましたが、最後まで丁寧に接してくださいました。
参加して良かったです。
ツアーの醍醐味は、色々な情報や沖縄の歴史などを得られることです。また参加したいと思いました。
どうもありがとうございました

Il taxi si è presentato davanti al nostro alloggio perfettamente puntuale: abbiamo concordato l'itinerario e, dopo aver letto le condizioni di trasporto, siamo partiti.
Abbiamo apprezzato la guida spedita (ci ha fatto risparmiare parecchi minuti).
Per comunicare il taxista ha utilizzato un traduttore vocale portatile, che si è dimostrato affidabile.
Se si è in tanti (noi in 9) il prezzo è davvero conveniente, anche considerando parcheggi ed autostrade, pagati da noi di volta in volta.
Attività e compagnia sicuramente da consigliare!

At Pineapple Park, if you're just wandering around with kids, you won't have nearly enough time. You'll have to dash through the souvenir shop. On Kouri Island, an umbrella is a must. If you want to dip your feet in the sea, bring sandals or water shoes. The aquarium is relaxing. Just be aware that there are few places to have lunch.

パイナップルパークは子供と普通に回っていたら全く時間が足りません。
お土産屋さんはダッシュで通り抜けないといけません。
古宇利島は日傘、必須です。。
海に足を入れたい場合はサンダルやマリンシューズを。
水族館はゆったり。
ただランチできる場所が少ないのでご注意を。

It was really great to be able to visit various places in one day for this price, but I was a bit disappointed that the time at each location was short. I understand that arrival times can vary due to traffic conditions, but it was tough when the sightseeing time was less than an hour. I chose the course that included Mihama American Village, but we arrived there too early and I didn't know what to do. I thought if we had arrived a little later, we could have had dinner or something. The price is low, so I guess this is what you get.

一日でいろんな所をこの値段で回れたのはすごく良かったけど各々の時間が短いのが少し残念でした。着いた時間が交通事情などによりずれるのは仕方ないけど観光が1時間未満のところは時間を削られるとしんどかったです。美浜アメリカンビレッジのコースを選択したがアメリカンビレッジに着く時間が早すぎて何をしたら良いか分からなかったです。もう少し遅ければ晩御飯を食べたりできたのに、と思いました。値段も安いしこんなもんかな。

Relaxing sightseeing on a water buffalo, and then renting a bicycle to the sea.
There are no traffic signals, the roads are unpaved, and the bicycles have no locks.
It's an experience you can't have in any rural area. It was a luxury.

水牛でゆったりと観光、そのあとはレンタルサイクルで海まで。
信号もなく、道路も舗装されていなく、自転車には鍵もない。
どんな地方の田舎にいってもできない経験。ぜいたくでした。

It was my first time on Taketomi Island. Since it was the last day, I was very happy with the luggage storage service. I was healed by the scenery of Taketomi Island and the water buffalo.

初めての竹富島でした。最終日だったので、荷物を預かってくれるサービスはとても嬉しかったです。竹富島の風景と、水牛に癒されました。

I enjoyed a leisurely ride on a water buffalo cart while listening to stories about the island and live music, and then took a walk around the island to eat some shaved ice. It was hot, but it was a fun half-day. I think it's a great deal since it also includes a ferry ticket! ☆

のんびり水牛車に乗りながら島の話や弾き語りを楽しみ、その後島内を散歩してかき氷を食べ。。暑かったけど、楽しい半日でした。フェリーのチケットもついていてお得だと思います☆

It was a solo trip. Even though I was alone, the bus tour and the water buffalo cart were both enjoyable! The guide's sanshin and singing during the water buffalo cart ride were truly moving! It became a wonderful memory of this summer.

ひとり旅でした。ひとりでしたが、バス観光も水牛車も楽しかったです！水牛車でのガイドさんの三線と唄は、本当に感動しました！この夏のステキなの思い出になりました。

The main highlight this time was the Churaumi Aquarium. On the way, we stopped at various places, and the guide's trivia and little souvenirs were great. Since we just rode the bus, I would like to use this service again next time.

今回のメインは美ら海水族館でした。行く道中に色々な場所に寄ってくれ、ガイドさんの豆知識やプチ土産も良かったです。
バスに乗ってるだけなので、また次の機会も利用したいです。

The ferry fare to Taketomi Island and the tour fee for the water buffalo and Taketomi Island are included, making it a great deal. We were able to enjoy a leisurely time with the water buffalo. At the end, we had the opportunity to take photos, which we could also purchase, making it perfect for creating memories. In fact, we plan to buy the photos and display them at home. If you're going to Ishigaki Island and have a half day available, I highly recommend enjoying Taketomi Island with the water buffalo! 😊

竹富島までのフェリー代と水牛と竹富島を巡るツアー代が含まれており、お得です。ゆったりとした水牛と楽しむことができました。最後には写真を撮っていただき、その写真を購入することもでき、思い出づくりにはぴったりだと思います。実際に私たちは写真を購入して、家に飾る予定です。石垣島に行って午後半日時間があるという方はぜひ水牛と一緒に竹富島を楽しんでみてはいかがでしょうか(^ ^)

A nearby island that can be reached by boat in 10 minutes from Ishigaki Island. The water buffalo pulling the cart are cute and relaxing at their own pace. However, it felt a bit too commercialized as a tourist spot, and there were a lot of people, making it seem somewhat like a theme park.

石垣島から船で10分で行ける身近な島。
牛車の水牛さんは可愛く、マイペースで癒されます。
ただ、ちょと観光地化され過ぎてて、人も沢山いるのでなんとなくテーマパーク的に見えました。

Taketomi Island has many sandy paths within the village, which can make it a bit tricky to maintain your balance, but cycling was both enjoyable and an efficient way to explore the places I wanted to visit! The rental bicycle shop provides a map of Taketomi Island with numbered sections, so you won't get lost. There are bicycle parking areas at the tourist spots, so you won't have any trouble finding a place to park! The West Pier is less crowded, making it perfect for taking photos!

竹富島は集落内は砂の道が多く、バランスを崩しそうになることもありますが、自転車も楽しく、かつ効率よく行きたいところを巡ることができました！レンタサイクルやさんが整理番号つきの竹富島の地図をくださるので、迷わず行けます♪観光スポットには自転車置き場があるので、置き場に困ることもありません！
西桟橋は人が少ないので、写真撮るにはうってつけです！

Since I can't drive, I had only been around Naha until now, but I ventured out to the suburbs for the first time. The scenery from the car window and the guide's stories made the experience very fulfilling. As for advice on what to bring, since it can get crowded at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, it might be difficult to have lunch inside, so having some light snacks or a simple meal would be reassuring. I think we might dip our feet in the water at Kouri Island, so having a towel would be convenient too!

運転できないので、今まで那覇周辺しか行ったことがなかったのですが、初めて郊外に出ました。
車窓からの景色やガイドさんのお話も含めて、とても充実していました。
持ち物のアドバイスとしては、美ら海水族館が混む時期は中で昼食を取るのが難しい可能性もあるので、簡単なおやつか軽食は持っていると安心だと思います。古宇利島で少し足を水につけたりするとおもうので、タオルもあると便利ですね！

According to the locals, this has been the best weather in the last two months. Everything we saw looked beautiful in color. It felt like half of the participants were foreigners. The itinerary wasn't too hard, and it was great that all the entrance fees were included. The guide's singing and the sound of the castanets were also nice. I would love to participate again.

現地の人いわく、ここ2カ月で一番よい天気とのこと。見るもの全てが色も綺麗に見えた。参加者は外国の方半分かなって感じでした。行程はそんなにハードでなく、各入場料が込みなんで助かりました。ガイドさんの歌やカスタネットの音もよかったです。また参加したいです。

I think that in addition to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, a tour visiting places like Kouri Island and the Busena Marine Park Observatory will allow you to fully enjoy the beautiful ocean scenery typical of Okinawa. After seeing the white sands and blue sea at the beach on Kouri Island, you can enjoy watching large fish like whale sharks swimming comfortably at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. At the Busena Marine Park Observatory, you can see tropical fish swimming among the coral reefs from underwater, allowing you to take in the stunning views of Okinawa's sea. Additionally, there are many highlights such as the dolphin show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and shopping at Mihama American Village, making it a tour full of attractions, and I believe it was a great decision to participate.

美ら海水族館のほかに、古宇利島やブセナ海中展望塔などを訪れるツアーで、沖縄らしい、海の光景が満喫できると思います。古宇利島のなぎさで砂浜の白さと海の青さを見た後は、美ら海水族館でジンベイザメなどの大きな魚などが心地よさそうに泳ぐ姿を満喫し、ブセナ海中展望塔ではサンゴ礁を泳ぐ熱帯魚の姿を海中から見ることができ、沖縄の海の光景を満喫することができます。また、見所はそれ以外にも、美ら海水族館でのオキちゃん劇場（イルカショー）や、美浜アメリカンビレッジでのショッピングなど、見所たくさんのツアーだと思いまして、参加して正解だったと思います。

It was very good!
The guide's stories, songs, and dances were amazing!
If you want to see places like Churaumi for the entire time, I think it's better to eat lunch on the bus.
I was also able to dip my feet in the sea at Kouri Island.
Considering that, it might be a good idea to bring a towel.
Just for your reference...
I had a lot of fun!

とても良かったです！
ガイドさんの話や歌、踊り最高でした！
時間いっぱいに美ら海など見たい方はお昼などバスで食べる方が良いかと思います◎
古宇利島で足だけ海に入ることもできました。
それも考えるとタオルなど持ってった方が良いかもしれません。
参考までに…
とても楽しかったです！

I decided just before departure, but I was able to make a smooth reservation and fully enjoy my first visit to Taketomi Island on the day. I enjoyed the ox cart ride with the brother's sanshin and singing, and at the end, we also took some photos.

出発直前に決めましたが、スムーズに予約が取れ当日も初の竹富島を満喫できました。
牛車もお兄さんの三線と歌を楽しみ、最後に写真も撮っていただきました。

The mangrove cruise was disappointing because we couldn't go upstream due to low tide, but it was nice to have various explanations about the types of mangroves.

I enjoyed riding the water buffalo cart, feeling the sea breeze while listening to the stories from the guide and the sound of the sanshin, which made for a relaxing time.

On Taketomi Island, I rode a bicycle to enjoy the island's scenery and ended up getting caught up in searching for star sand.

The only downside was that at Yubu Island, during the typical tourist photo opportunity, we had to wait a long time in the intense sunlight with poor ventilation and no shade. I think photo sessions should be limited to those who want to take pictures. After lunch, we had less than 30 minutes for sightseeing, so I felt that the time spent waiting was a waste. It was disappointing to not have enough time to see the places I wanted to visit on the island.

マングローブクルーズは干潮時に当たった為、上流の方まで行けなくて残念でしたが、マングローブの種類など色々説明があって良かったです。
水牛が一生懸命引いてくれる水牛車に乗り、海風を感じながら、おじさんの話や三線を聞き、のんびりした時間が過ごせました。
竹富島では自転車で島の景色を見ながら回って歩き、最後は星砂探しに夢中になってしまいました。
ただ一つ残念だったのは、由布島で観光地に良くある記念撮影の時に強烈な日差しの中、風通しも悪く日陰もない中を長々と待たされた事です。写真撮影は撮りたい人だけにした方がいいと思います。昼食を食べた後、観光する時間が30分もなかったので、あの待たされた時間がもったいなかったと思いました。島を観て回りたくても時間がなく観たい所が見れずに終わってしまい残念でした。

I finally got to ride a water buffalo and enjoyed the leisurely pace of time on Taketomi Island. The driver also provided a lovely service by singing Okinawan folk songs, which was wonderful. I would love to visit again to see the water buffaloes.

念願の水牛に乗って、竹富島のゆっくり流れる時間を堪能しました。
運転手の方が沖縄民謡歌を歌ってくれるサービスもありとても良かったです。
水牛たちに会いにまた訪れたいです。

On this day, our family happened to be the only participants, but we were welcomed warmly. The female guide was friendly, and we enjoyed clear and entertaining explanations along the way.

Kabayama Bay and Tamatorizaki are breathtaking spots, and I can definitely recommend visiting them when you come to Ishigaki Island.

この日たまたま我々家族のみの参加でしたが、気持ちよく迎え入れて頂きました。
女性ガイドさんも気さくで道中の説明も明瞭かつ愉快なお話しが聞けました。

川平湾、玉取崎等絶景で石垣島に来たら、是非行かれるポイントだと頷けます。

The bus guide's island song was wonderful, and visiting Kabira Bay to see the sea turtles made for an amazing memory. I hadn't planned to tour Ishigaki Island, but I'm glad I signed up. I was lucky to encounter Ms. Gushiken in front of her house. The snacks and juice were delicious!

バスガイドさんの島唄がとても良く川平湾を訪れてウミガメ見れて最高に良い思い出に成りました。石垣島観光はする予定無かったですが申し込んで良かったです。具志堅さんのご自宅前でお姉さんに遭遇できラッキーでした。おやつのお菓子やジュース美味しかった！

I participated because I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium. I wish I had a bit more time, but I was satisfied to meet the whale shark. The guide's singing voice was wonderful, and it moved me.♪

美ら海水族館に行きたくて参加しました。もう少し時間があったら良かったけど、ジンベイザメに会うことが出来て満足です。ガイドさんの歌声が素晴らしく、感動しました♪

I participated with my energetic 6-year-old and 4-year-old children. It was our first bus tour, and I was quite anxious about how they would handle the bus ride, but thanks to the bus guide and the other participants, we were able to complete it safely.
Although the schedule was tight, we were able to explore Okinawa throughout the day!
The weather was a bit iffy, and I heard the sea wasn't as blue as it could be, but it was still beautiful.
Having only 20 minutes at the beach was tough for those with kids (laughs).

6歳と4歳のやんちゃざかりの子ども達をつれての参加でした。バスツアーは初めてで、バスの移動中大丈夫かヒヤヒヤしましたが、バスガイドさんはじめ参加者のみなさんのおかげで無事に終えることができました。
タイトなスケジュールではありましたが、1日を通して沖縄めぐりができました！！
天気が微妙で、海の青さが十分ではないとの事でしたが、綺麗でした。
海の時間が20分なのは子連れにとって過酷でした（笑）
