All Reviews for Kabira Bay

The weather was cloudy and not great, but I wanted to see sea turtles, so I was glad I got to see them. I would like to go again if I have the chance. ^ ^

天気は曇りでイマイチでしたが
海亀が見たくて乗ったので見れて良かったです。又機会があれば乗りたい^ ^

This time, when I took the bus at Ishigaki Airport, I showed the voucher to the driver, but it seemed he wasn't familiar with the payment system through Veltra, so I explained it to him and successfully got a one-day pass issued.

It was rainy on Ishigaki Island that day, but since I had some time, I went to Kabira Park. I was able to see the almost deserted Kabira Bay in the rain, which I think is quite rare, so I'm glad I went. Even though it was raining, the sea was beautiful.

今回、石垣空港でバスに乗る際バウチャーを運転手さんに見せましたがveltraで決済するシステムをご存知なかった様なので、説明して無事1日券を発行していただけました。
この日石垣島は雨模様でしたが時間があったので川平公園に行きました。ほとんど人がいない雨の川平湾が見れて、これはこれでレアなのではないでしょうか、行ってよかったです。雨が降っていても海綺麗でした。

It was a two-night, three-day stay, and considering the visit plan, I decided to purchase it because it seemed like a good deal. In reality, it was convenient and cost-effective. It seems there are also one-day tickets available, so I recommend it.

二泊三日でしたが、訪問計画を考えるとお得になるなということで購入しました。
実際、便利でお得でした。
一日券などもあるようですので、おすすめです。

I participated in the mangrove canoe tour and the Blue Cave snorkeling tour.

Although the weather was not great in winter, the staff shared the unique benefits of this season, allowing us to enjoy the experience.

There were few tourists, so we could go at our own pace, which made it quite comfortable.

The Blue Cave is definitely worth a visit! It was a wonderful spot. The water we snorkeled in was very clear, and we were able to see many fish.

Thanks to the staff's communication, we had a great time with all the participants!

I also appreciated the abundance of sightseeing information about Ishigaki that they provided.

マングローブカヌーツアーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました。

冬で天候がいまいちだったのですが、スタッフさんから冬だからこそのよさを教えていただき、楽しく参加することができました。

観光客も少なくて、自分たちのペースで体験できたので、かえって快適でした＾＾

青の洞窟は一見の価値あり！な素敵なスポットでした。
シュノーケリングで訪れた海も透明度が高く、たくさん魚を見ることができました。

スタッフさんからコミュニケーションをとっていただいたおかげで、参加者のみなさんと楽しく参加することができました！

石垣の観光情報もたくさん教えていただけて感謝です。

This ticket expanded my range of activities, as I wouldn't have gone to Banna Park without it. That day, I was planning to have a picnic at Banna Park and then head home, but when I checked, I found out that a bus to Kabira Bay was arriving just in time, so I changed my plans and stopped by Kabira Bay. I think it was a great help that I could ride as much as I wanted.

このチケットがなければバンナ公園には行かなかったので行動範囲を広げてくれました。
その日はバンナ公園でピクニックをして帰ろうと思っていたのですが、調べたらちょうど川平湾に行くバスがくる時間だったので予定変更して川平湾へ寄りました。乗り放題でなければいけなかったと思うので助かりました。

It was a bit uncertain whether I would ride the bus for 2000 yen, but since it was unlimited rides, I was glad I could stop by Kawahira Bay, which I hadn't planned to visit. I usually don't carry much cash, so being able to pay by card through Veltra was also helpful.

2000円分もバスに乗るか微妙でしたが乗り放題なため、行く予定の無かった川平湾にも寄れて良かったです。普段あまり現金を持ち合わせていないのでベルトラ経由でカード決済できるのも助かります

It was my first time participating in a tour alone, but perhaps because it was the day after the Ishigaki Marathon, there were many solo participants, and I had a great time. I was glad to be able to efficiently visit tourist spots that I wouldn't have been able to reach without renting a car.

初めての一人参加のツアーでしたが、石垣マラソンの翌日のためか一人参加のかたも多く楽しめました。レンタカーを借りないのでなかなか行けない観光地に効率的に行けて良かったです。

I participated in a water buffalo cart tour. I was able to spend a relaxing time. The water buffalo was adorable, and it was great that I could take photos.

水牛馬車のツアーに参加しました。
のんびりくつろげる時間を過ごすことができました。
水牛さんが可愛らしく写真撮影もできて良かったです。

If you are staying near the remote island terminal, you can purchase a one-day free pass (24-hour ticket) for convenient round-trip transportation between the airport and the hotel.

I recommend the following sightseeing route: Take a bus around 9:00 AM to Kawahira Park, spend about 40 minutes exploring, and then take the bus to Ishigaki Airport. At the airport, you can watch planes and have a meal before taking the bus to Hirano to visit Tamatorizaki Observatory or Hirakubo Lighthouse, and then return on the same bus route.

The weather on the island can change quickly, so even if it's cloudy in town, you might find sunshine and beautiful views at your destination.

離島ターミナル方面で宿泊する場合、空港とホテルの往復運賃で一日フリーパス（24時間券）が購入できるので大変便利です。
観光ルートのおすすめは、朝9:00頃のバスで川平公園に行き40分ほど見て回った後石垣空港行きバスで空港へ。空港で飛行機を見たり食事をとって平野行きバスで玉取崎展望台か平久保崎灯台に行き、折り返しのバスで戻ってくるルートです。
島の天気は変わりやすいのでたとえ街中が曇っていても行った先では太陽が出て素敵な景色がみれるかもしれません。

I only used it for three days, but it was very convenient. I was grateful that I could use all the East Bus lines. I'm glad I made the purchase.

３日間しか利用してなかった、とても便利です。東バス全線利用できるので、助かりました。購入して良かったと思います。

My first experience with the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay.
We were on the boat for quite a long time, but I think it's not easy to get seasick!
I was amazed by the various corals we could see.
We were also able to spot several sea turtles.
Kabira Bay is beautiful and soothing even just from the observation deck, but if it's your first time at Kabira Bay, I highly recommend the glass-bottom boat.

はじめての川平湾グラスボート体験。
結構長い時間乗船していましたが、酔いにくいと思います！
様々な珊瑚が見られスゴイと思いました。
また、海ガメも何匹か見ることができました。
川平湾は、展望台だけの観光でも充分キレイで癒されるのですが、はじめての川平湾ならばグラスボートオススメです。

The time spent at each sightseeing spot is far too short. There's nothing you can do except for using the restroom. Please allocate more time at the main locations.

Also, is there any way to improve the meals at Auntie Pozer's table? The main hamburger is too bland. The tempura of white fish has no flavor at all, and there are no seasonings like salt. The small noodle soup is too greasy. I felt that the variety of side dishes was just for the sake of having many.

If it's a sightseeing bus, please clean the windows every day. It's not a regular bus.

The person in charge should join the tour once to understand the feelings of the tourists and aim for improvements.

各々の観光地の滞在時間があまりにも短すぎです。トイレ以外何もできません。
メインの場所では時間をとってください。

あと、ポーザーおばさんの食卓での食事は何とかなりませんか?　メインのハンバーグの味が薄すぎます。白身の魚の天ぷらは何の味もしませんし、塩などの調味料すらありません。小さな麺のスープが油っこすぎです。おかずの種類がただ多いだけと感じました。

観光バスであれば毎日窓のガラスをきれいに拭いてください。路線バスではありません。

観光客の気持ちとなって責任者は一度ツアーに同行すべきです。そして改善を目指してください。

Compared to exploring freely with a rental car, it was a reasonable and efficient way to sightsee. The bus guide's explanations were very helpful!

レンタカーで自由に散策に比べてリーズナブルに効率よく観光ができました。
バスガイドさんの話つきでよく分かりました！

I arrived earlier than my reserved time, but since there was availability, I was able to board an earlier boat. It was quite crowded and nearly full, but the captain's explanations were clear and precise, the scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which made me very satisfied. Also, the fact that parking is free is a big plus if you're renting a car.

予約した時間より早く到着しましたが、空きがあったので早い船に乗せてもらえました。結構混んでいてほぼ満員でしたが、船頭さんの説明がわかりやすく的確で、景色も綺麗、魚もたくさんみれて大満足でした。
また駐車場も無料な点はレンタカーする場合には見逃せません。

I saw beautiful and cute fish. I was excited to see what kind of fish and coral would appear next.

きれいでかわいいお魚さん見られました。
次はどんなお魚やサンゴが出てくるかワクワクしながら乗っていました。

The departure from the bus terminal in front of Ishigaki Port was convenient, as the highlights were well-organized. It's nice to hear the guide's stories instead of driving a rental car. The guide who led my tour seemed to be studying the sanshin and even performed for us. I participated in a day tour to another remote island, and compared to that, I think the lunch was good for the price.

石垣港前のバスターミナルより出発、見どころがまとまっていて便利でした。レンタカーで行くよりガイドさんのお話も聞けます。私が参加した時のガイドさんは三線を勉強されている様で演奏してくださりました。別の離島で一日ツアーへ参加しましたが比べるとランチは、この金額でよかったかと思います。

Due to strong winds, stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling were canceled, and our family of four experienced canoeing instead. Paddling was a bit challenging, but even beginners could enjoy it without difficulty. During the transfer from the hotel, our guide shared a lot of information about sightseeing and shops in Ishigaki Island, allowing us to have a great time until the end. I would love to rely on their services again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

強風でSUPとシュノーケリングは中止になり、家族４人でカヌーを体験。漕ぐのは少し大変でしたが、初心者でも無理なく体験できました。ホテルからの移動中はガイドさんが石垣島の観光やお店の情報をたくさん教えてくださり、最後まで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。また石垣島に来るときはお世話になりたいと思います！

In January, I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time.
Kabira Bay had incredibly beautiful, clear waters.
I could see all the way to the bottom of the sea, and I felt that the cleanliness was due to the cooperation of everyone in taking their trash home.
In the photo, I discovered a sea turtle, which is said to be a lucky encounter! On its shell, there was surprisingly a fish! It was a rare experience with two strokes of luck combined.

1月に初めて石垣島観光をしました。
川平湾は、とても海が綺麗で、透き通っていました。
海の底までくっきりと見ることが出来、日頃からゴミの持ち帰りなど協力があっての綺麗さだと感じました。
写真は、出会えるとラッキーと言われているウミガメを発見！甲羅の上には、まさかの魚が！2つのラッキーが重なった貴重な体験でした。

If you're sightseeing in Ishigaki Island using the route bus, this one-day pass is a great deal. Moreover, if you book through Veltra, you can pay cashless with a credit card. If you go through the JAL or ANA websites, you can also earn miles. With this pass, transportation on the island is affordable, making Ishigaki Island the top choice among Okinawa's remote islands. When I used it last year, there seemed to be some issues with name verification, which put a burden on the drivers, but this time it has improved, and I was able to easily issue the pass with a clear app display. I will definitely purchase it again the next time I visit Ishigaki Island. Thank you to Higashi Unyu!

路線バスで石垣島観光する場合、大変お得な一日券です。
しかもveltraからの予約ならクレジット払いでキャッシュレス。JALやANAのサイト経由ですとマイルも貯まります。
島内交通が安く済むこのパスがあるので沖縄の離島は石垣島一択です。
昨年利用した時は導入まもなかったのでしょうか、名前との照合があったり運転手さんに負担をかけていましたが、今回改善されて見やすいアプリ表示で簡単にパス券を発行いただけました。
また次、石垣島を訪れる時にも必ず購入します。東運輸さんに感謝です、ありがとうございます。

I used it on the last day of my 2-night, 3-day trip. The lunch was delicious, and the gentle and lovely bus guide provided detailed explanations on the bus, along with performances of the sanshin and singing, making the entire experience enjoyable. It was very convenient that we could get off at the airport on the way back.

2泊3日の最終日に利用しました。昼食も美味しく、バス車内では穏やかで可愛いバスガイドさんの丁寧な説明があり、三線&歌も披露ありで、終始楽しく過ごせました。帰りは空港下車ができるので、とても便利でした。

Participation with parents in their 20s and 50s! I received a call the day before informing me that due to the wind and waves, the SUP experience would take place in the mangroves instead of Kabira Bay. If you prefer not to do SUP in the mangroves, you can cancel for free at this point. They will provide detailed information about the pick-up time and what to bring during that call.

The pre-activity lecture was thorough, and we were able to take photos with the mangroves in the background before we got too tired. Afterward, I accidentally fell in and got soaked, so I was really grateful to have a nice memory photo in good condition... (laughs)

They teach you how to ride, paddle, and stand not only during the initial lecture but also with ongoing guidance! My mother said before the experience that she "absolutely couldn't stand," but surprisingly, she was able to stand quite easily. After declaring that she was prepared to fall, she was even taught some fun challenges like jumping on the board and standing on one leg!

During the tour, we learned about the mangroves and the nature of Ishigaki Island at various points, and I was very satisfied not only with the fun of the SUP experience but also with the knowledge I was able to take home. We got to take a lot of photos! The moment I stood up for the first time, with my awkward stance, was perfectly captured, and it was moving＾＾

In early January, the weather was cloudy and windy, so it felt quite chilly at first. However, wearing a long-sleeved jersey in addition to my swimsuit, I found that I didn't mind it much after moving around a lot. But falling in and getting wet was definitely cold!! I strongly recommend bringing a change of clothes and a large towel for winter experiences, just in case and to fully enjoy the activity...!

I had so much fun that I want to try SUP in Kabira Bay as well! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

20代と50代の親子での参加！前日にいただいた電話で、風や波の関係で川平湾ではなくマングローブでのSUP体験になる旨を聞きました。川平湾でのSUPでないならキャンセル、という方はこの時点なら無料でキャンセルができるそう。送迎の時間、持ち物についてはその電話で改めて詳しく教えてもらえます。
アクティビティ開始前のレクチャーは丁寧で、「クタクタ顔になる前に」とマングローブをバックに写真撮影もしていただけました。なお、その後うっかり転落してびしょ濡れになったので綺麗な状態の記念写真が残ったのは本当に有り難かったです…（笑）

乗り方、漕ぎ方、立ち方も初めのレクチャーに加えて随時声かけで教えてくれます！母は体験前は「絶対に立てない」と言っていましたが、案外すんなりと立つことができていました。落ちる覚悟で色々準備してきたと宣言したところ、ボードの上でのジャンプや片足立ちなどちょっとしたチャレンジも教えてもらえました！

ツアー中、随所でマングローブや石垣島の自然について教えていただけて、SUPを体験できた楽しさだけでなく色々な知識を持って帰れて大満足です。写真たくさん撮ってもらえました！初めて立った瞬間のへっぴり腰の写真もバッチリ残ってて感動です＾＾
1月初旬、天気は曇りで風があったのではじめは割と肌寒く感じました。それでも水着に加え長袖のジャージで臨めば、たくさん動くのもあって途中からはとくに気にならなかったです。ただ落ちて濡れるとさすがに寒い！！万が一のために&全力で楽しむために冬季の体験では着替えと大きいタオルを持参しておくのを強くお勧めします…！

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったので川平湾でもSUPしてみたいなと思いました！素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

It was rainy and very windy from the morning. The glass-bottom boat ride at Kabira Bay was canceled, but the guide's explanations were thorough and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

朝から雨と強風でした。川平湾のグラスボート乗船は欠航でした　でもガイドさんの説明は丁寧で楽しかったです　ありがとうございました。

The guide showed us the sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island and provided a detailed explanation of the scenery visible from the car window. The guide played the sanshin and let us listen to Ishigaki folk songs in the vehicle.

ガイドさんに石垣島の観光スポットを案内して頂き、車窓から見える景色にも丁寧にご案内頂きました、三線が弾けるガイドさんで車内で石垣民謡を聴かせて頂きました

I run a travel business. This time, I participated privately. The content of the tour was good, but I think the bus guide, Mr. Sunakawa, was excellent. He was very skilled at providing information on the bus, but his kindness, sincerity, and attentiveness in dealing with customers outside the bus were outstanding. I have interacted with various bus guides before, but he was the best.

The lunch was a bit lacking, but considering the tour price, it can't be helped (laughs). I definitely recommend it. Thank you for your assistance.

私は旅行業を営んでおります。今回はプライベートで参加いたしました。ツアーの内容も良かったですがバスガイドの砂川さんが大変良かったと思います。車内での案内もお上手なんですが、車外でのお客さんへの対応が非常に親切で誠実で気配りがあり、今までいろいろなバスガイドさんと接してきましたが最高でした。
昼食は今いちでしたがツアー料金からすれば仕方がないでしょう（笑）
是非お勧めします。お世話になりました。

It was a tour that made effective use of the last day. The bus was efficient, and the timing was accurate. The guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I was able to enjoy myself without getting bored on the bus. There were also several participants who joined alone, so I recommend it for solo travelers as well. The guide kindly took photos for us.

最終日を有効に使えたツアーでした。
バスで効率良く、回って頂き時間も正確でした。
ガイドさんのお話も大変分かりやすく
車内でも退屈しないで楽しめました。
一人参加の方も数名おりましたので、
一人参加の方もおすすめです。
ガイドさんが親切に写真をとっていました。

I had an amazing time experiencing SUP for the first time. The cute guide was very enthusiastic and led us well, which made me feel at ease.

初めてSupを体験してみたら超楽しかった
可愛いガイドさん　すごく熱心でリードすてくれて安心しました。

I think it's convenient that I can make credit card payments when I don't have cash. I would like to continue using it in the future.

現金がない時にクレジットカード決済できるので便利だと思います。
これからも利用し続けたいと思います。

I experienced SUP and snorkeling for the first time. Unfortunately, it was raining, but I was happy to have the rare opportunity to do SUP in the mangroves. For lunch, the guide recommended a great burger place. Although it rained during the snorkeling in the afternoon, I was able to see beautiful corals and fish when I dove into the sea. I was also very happy to encounter a sea turtle.

The guide's various knowledge made the experience even more interesting. Additionally, the guide was an excellent swimmer and was able to take some valuable photos for me.

I participated alone, but I had a lot of fun. I would love to do it again. I hope to experience it on a sunny day next time.

初めてSUPとシュノーケリングを体験しました。あいにくの雨でしたが、マングローブでのSUPという貴重な体験ができ嬉しかったです。お昼は、ガイドの方にオススメのハンバーガー屋さんを教えて頂きました。昼からのシュノーケリングも雨でしたか、海に潜ると綺麗な珊瑚や魚を見ることができました。海亀にも会えてとても嬉しかったです。
ガイドの方の様々な知識でより面白い体験ができました。また、ガイドの方の泳ぎがとても上手で貴重な写真を撮影して頂けました。
1人での参加でしたがとても楽しかったです。また体験したいです。次は晴れた日にできたら嬉しいです。

I was impressed by the beauty of the water in Kabira Bay even before getting on the boat! I was worried because I tend to get motion sickness, but maybe because of the beauty of the sea, I was totally fine! I was also able to encounter sea turtles, which was a lot of fun! I definitely want to participate again with my grandchildren!

ボートに乗る前から川平湾の水の綺麗さに感激！乗り物酔いをしやすいので心配でしたが海の綺麗さのせいかぜんぜん大丈夫でした！ウミガメにも遭遇する事ができてとても楽しかったです！是非孫たちとまた一緒に参加したいです！

I almost circled Ishigaki Island, visiting various attractions. The bus guide provided detailed explanations, and we enjoyed a typical Okinawan lunch. It was more efficient for sightseeing than driving around with a rental car, especially since we could get off at the airport. It's a pity that the weather was cloudy.

石垣島をほぼ一周して名所を回り、バスガイドさんの詳しい説明、沖縄らしい昼食、空港で下車でき、レンタカーで回るよりも効率よく観光できた。
天気が曇りだったのが残念。
