All Reviews for Kabira Bay

It was a fun tour. We efficiently explored Ishigaki Island, surrounded by beautiful seas, in a short amount of time and enjoyed taking photos at the scenic spots. The local guide, known for his humor, kept us entertained with his fluent explanations until the end. While island hopping is nice, I recommend this tour for those who want to fully enjoy Ishigaki Island itself.

楽しいツアーでした。美しい海に囲まれた石垣島を短い時間で効率的に回り、絶景ポイントでは写真撮影を楽しみました。名物のおじさんガイドは、笑いを誘う流暢な説明で最後まで飽きさせません。離島巡りも良いですが、石垣島自体を堪能したい方にはお勧めのツアーです。

On the day of the reservation, strong winds made both Kawahira Bay and the Blue Cave unavailable. They rescheduled for the next day, but the weather did not improve. However, they suggested alternative locations, and as a result, I was able to experience both stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. I'm glad it didn't get canceled. I enjoyed the alternative locations enough, and now I look forward to visiting Kawahira Bay and the Blue Cave next time.

予約当日強風で川平湾も青の洞窟もNG
翌日に振り替えて下さったのですが天候回復せず
それでも代わりの場所を提案して下さり
結果的にSUPもスノーケルも体験することができました。中止にならなくて良かった。
代わりの場所も十分楽しめたし、次回こそ川平湾と青の洞窟を、と楽しみができました

The white sandy beach at Kabira Bay is amazing. The glass-bottom boat and the giant clams were enchanting. I saw so many of them. The guide's singing was also great. It's a compact and well-organized tour.

川平湾の白い砂浜最高。グラスボート、シャコガイが幻想的です。たくさん見れました。ガイドさんの歌も良かった。コンパクトにまとまってるツアー。

I was very satisfied with the round trip around Ishigaki Island, where I could enjoy a beautiful view of the sea, and lunch was included. The veteran male guide played several songs on the sanshin and sang Okinawan songs, which was quite nice.

石垣島をぐるっと一周、綺麗な海が一望出来て、ランチも付いて大変満足です。
ベテランの男性のガイドさん、何曲か三線を弾いて沖縄の歌を歌ってくれて、なかなか良かったです。

Overall, it felt a bit rushed and hectic, but I was satisfied to experience the charm of Ishigaki Island. The bus guide's singing was also very good, and my 2-year-old daughter enjoyed listening while clapping along.

全体的にかけ足で少し慌ただしい感じがしましたが、ひととおり石垣島の魅力を堪能できて満足でした。バスガイドさんの歌もとても上手で、2歳の娘が手拍子しながら楽しそうに聞いていました。

My wife and I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time. On the day of our visit, due to our circumstances, we made a last-minute request to adjust the itinerary to avoid getting too wet. Thanks to the wonderful resourcefulness of our guide, we were able to enjoy canoeing and a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and they specially changed our originally planned full-day tour to a half-day just for us. Despite being young, our guide was experienced and reliable, and he engaged in conversation with us, an elderly couple, making our half-day on Ishigaki Island extremely enjoyable.

家内と二人で初めて石垣島を訪ねました。当日はこちらの都合で，急遽，水にあまり濡れないような内容でお願いできないかとの無理な要望を出させていただきましたが，ガイドさんの素晴らしい機転で，川平湾にてカヌー・グラスボート等を楽しみ，元々の一日ツアーを我々のみ特別に半日に変更していただきました。ガイドさんはお若いのに経験豊富で頼りがいがあり，我々老夫婦とも会話を合わせてくださるなど素晴らしい好青年で，石垣島での半日を大変楽しく過ごさせていただきました。

I booked a half-day tour of Ishigaki Island. However, due to the impact of the new pneumonia, there were only three of us in our group. But our dedicated guide shared many stories about the island, and we were able to ask questions, making it a fantastic experience. I learned a lot about the island's history, which was very educational. At the end, the guide played traditional island music on the shamisen, making for a fulfilling half-day. I really enjoyed it and would love to participate in another tour.

半日の石垣島ツアーを申し込みました。しかし新型肺炎の影響もあり参加者は私たちのグループ3人だけでした。
しかし専属のガイドとしてたくさんの島にまつわるお話をしてくださり、質問もできたりと最高の時間となりました。島の歴史についてかなり詳しく教えていただきとても勉強になりました。また最後には三味線で島の音楽を奏でてくださり充実した半日となりました。
本当に楽しかったです。またツアーに参加したいと思います。

The bus departs from Ishigaki Island's bus terminal at 9:30 AM, taking a leisurely pace. It's a five-hour tour, and you'll be taken to Ishigaki Airport afterward. I recommend it for the last day of your trip.

What stood out the most was the view from the observation deck at Kabira Park. You have to climb some stairs to reach the deck, but the effort is worth it for the stunning view. You can see Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island all around. Of course, the sea is a cobalt blue, and you can gaze at it for as long as you want without getting bored.

Additionally, you can go glass-bottom boating to watch the marine life around Ishigaki Island. You can see various rare fish, sea turtles, and rays. However, on days when the waves are high, the boat can rock quite a bit, but it was still amazing.

石垣島のバスターミナルをゆっくり目の９時半出発　５時間程のツア－ですが
石垣空港まで送ってもらえます。
旅行の最終日にお勧めです。
特に良かったのは川平公園の展望台からの眺めです。
展望台まで行くには　頑張って階段を登らなければいけませんが，頑張っただけの甲斐あって　展望は素晴らしい

The weather was nice on the day, but due to the wind direction, we did SUP in the mangroves of Miyara River. In conclusion, I was very satisfied!!

It was my first time doing SUP, but our guide Diego taught us carefully, and we were able to enjoy the river at a leisurely pace. Diego was very friendly and shared various knowledge about the mangroves during the tour. Also, I was very satisfied with the many photos he took as part of the course. I highly recommend it!

当日は天気は良かったのですが風向きが悪かったため、宮良川のマングローブでSUPをしました。結論、大満足でした！！

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドのジエゴさんが丁寧に教えてくださりゆったりと川を満喫できました。
ジエゴさんはとてもフレンドリーで、マングローブについてなど様々な知識を加えながらツアーをしてくれました。また、コースに含まれている写真も、たくさん撮って頂き大満足です
おすすめです！

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! Since the weather was unpredictable, we made a last-minute reservation the night before. In the end, it turned out to be a very satisfying day! In February, there are few tour companies that offer marine activities, so we were really worried about whether we could actually do it, but we had no problems at all! The sea was incredibly beautiful! Although it wasn't perfectly sunny, it was still so stunning that I was moved. It felt like we were immersed in the world of natural fish, and it was a truly magical and emotional experience.

In the morning, we went snorkeling, had a lunch break at Kabira Bay, and then experienced kayaking in the afternoon. Snorkeling took quite a bit of energy, but we had a nice long lunch break where we ate and leisurely strolled around Kabira Bay, taking photos to recover our energy. (I wish we had taken a glass-bottom boat during that time!) During kayaking at Kabira Bay, we paddled to a beach with hammocks and took lots of memorable photos. When I later looked at the data sent to us, I saw that they had taken an incredible number of photos, making it a truly memorable tour!

I highly recommend this tour!

Additionally, they picked us up from our hotel in the city in the morning and dropped us off at the island terminal on the way back, which was a huge help since we didn't have a rental car. I also recommend it for those planning to stay overnight in Ishigaki Island and then head to other islands!

新婚旅行で参加しました(^^)天気が不安定で読めなかったため、前日の夜にバタバタ予約しました！結果、大満足の一日になりました♡２月はマリンアクティビティができるツアー会社が少なく、本当にできるのか心配していましたが、問題なくできました！海もとっっってもキレイ！！晴天！というわけではなかったのですが、それでもこんなにキレイなの！と感動しました。自然の魚たちの世界にお邪魔させていただいて、自然に溶け込んだような、紛れ込んだような、とっても幻想的で感動的な時間でした。

午前中にシュノーケリング、川平湾でお昼休み、午後にカヤック体験の流れでした。シュノーケリングで結構体力を使ったのですが、お昼休みがゆっくりあり、ごはんを食べて川平湾をゆっくりお散歩したり、写真をとったりして体力回復(^^)(この時間にグラスボートにも乗ればよかった)
川平湾でのカヤックでは、ハンモックのある浜辺まで漕いで上陸！記念になるような写真をたくさん撮っていただきました☆
あとから送られてきたデータを見たら、写真をもう、これでもか！というくらい撮っていてくださって、本当にとっても思い出に残るツアーになりました！
オススメのツアーです(o^^o)

また、朝は市内のホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、帰りは離島ターミナルまで送っていただけたので、レンタカー等の足がなかった私たちはとっても助かりました！石垣島で一泊→離島への予定がある方にもオススメです(^^)笑

I used this service on the last day of my trip to Ishigaki Island. Since they provided transportation to the airport, I was able to make the most of my time without any waste. As a solo traveler and a paper driver, it was really convenient and enjoyable to tour all the island's attractions by bus. The beauty of Kabira Bay is still etched in my memory.

Lunch was included in the tour, so I didn't have high expectations, but the Ishigaki beef hamburger was incredibly delicious, and everything, including the side dishes and rice, was tasty. The guide's explanations and the shamisen performance were delightful, making for a fun half-day experience. I found the stories from Yoshitaka Gushiken to be very interesting.

石垣島最終日に利用しました。
最後は空港まで、送っていただけるので、無駄なく時間を使う事ができました。
一人旅でペーパードライバーなので、島の名所を全部バスでめぐれて本当に便利で楽しかったです。
川平湾の美しさが今も目に焼きついています。
ランチは、ツアーについてるものなので、期待していなかったのですが、石垣牛のハンバーグがとっても美味しかったですし、お惣菜もお米まで全部美味しかったです。ガイドさんの説明、三味線で歌も聞かせてくださり、楽しい半日でした。
具志堅用高さんのお話が面白かったです。

I participated alone and I'm in my 50s.
I was impressed by the sincerity of the communication, starting from the phone call the day before the event to the follow-up after it ended. (Local information during the shuttle bus ride, important points before the activity, enjoyable interactions during the experience, and skillful photography, etc.)

The weather on the day was partly cloudy to sunny. The water temperature was pleasant even when splashing around. The sunlight wasn't overly intense, and the wind was gentle.
The guidance on paddle operation and stance adjustments tailored to each participant's situation was thorough and easy to understand. The photos taken during the activity were also stylishly captured, which I appreciated!

I was able to experience my long-desired SUP, and I feel completely fulfilled.
Next, I would like to participate in a mangrove SUP experience!
Thank you for providing such enjoyable memories. Thank you very much!!

ひとり参加 50代です。
催行前日の電話連絡からはじめ 終了後の送りまでの対応の誠実さに好感がもてました。
(送迎バス中の地元案内 、実施前の注意点、体験中の楽しいお声掛け、上手な写真撮影等 )

当日の天候は薄曇り～晴れ。 海ぽちゃしても 心地良かった水温でした。 極度に陽射しがギラついていなく 風も穏やかでした。
参加者個々の状況に応じたパドル操作やスタンスの取り方等のご指導も丁寧でわかりやすかったです。
参加中の写真もセンス良く撮ってあり、感心いたしました！

念願のSUPを体験できて充足感満載です。
次は マングローブsup体験に参加したいと思います！
楽しい想い出の時間をご提供くださりましたことに感謝します。ありがとうございました！！

I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles on the glass-bottom boat. The guide was attentive and fun, and I was very satisfied.

グラスボートではマンタとウミガメを見ることができました^_^
ガイドさんも気配り上手で楽しい方で大満足でした。

You can easily visit the main tourist spots without renting a car. There were other solo female travelers, so it felt safe. When I consulted the bus guide about the next day's sightseeing, they were very kind and helpful. I absolutely recommend the optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. I got to see turtles and manta rays!

レンタカーを借りなくても主要な観光地を手軽にまわれますよ。女性一人旅の方が他にもいましたので、安心です。バスガイドさんに次の日の観光について相談をしたらとても親切に対応してくれました^_^川平湾のオプションのグラスボードは絶対にオススメします。私は亀とマンタに会えました！

Even on a half-day tour, it was just the right amount of sightseeing.
The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was wonderful.
The beautiful sea and coral reefs were stunning.
I was thrilled to see sea turtles.
The bus guide's sanshin performance was also fantastic.

半日コースでも、ちょうどいい感じで観光できました。

綺麗な海にサンゴ礁。
海ガメにも会えて感激でした。
バスガイドさんの三線も最高でした。

The tour covered several highlights of Ishigaki Island in about five hours. Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather, allowing for great sightseeing. The sea was very beautiful. We took a glass-bottom boat with the operator, and since there was no wind, the waves were minimal, making it easy to enjoy the fish and coral. However, I couldn't take good photos because the reflections on the glass bottom made it difficult. It's best to just see it in person.

I thought the flowers were susuki (Japanese pampas grass), but the guide told us they were sugarcane flowers. Additionally, we learned some local dialects of Ishigaki Island, which made the sightseeing even more enjoyable.

石垣島の見どころを何か所か、5時間ほどで回るツアーでした。
幸い天気に恵まれて、良い観光が出来ました。
海はとても綺麗でした。OPのグラスボートに乗りましたが、風もなかったので、波も少なく綺麗に、魚や珊瑚を堪能できました。写真は底のガラスに反射した影が映るので、うまく撮影できませんでした。見るに限ります。
　ススキの花が咲いていると思いましたが、ガイドさんが「サトウキビの花だ」と教えてくださいました。その外にも石垣島の方言も教えて頂き、楽しく観光ができました。

I tried the glass-bottom boat recommended by the guide, and it was incredibly beautiful—what a surprise! Unfortunately, the weather was a bit cloudy, but the beauty of the underwater scenery was truly amazing. There was also a performance of the sanshin on the bus, making for a wonderful experience in Ishigaki Island!

ガイドさんオススメのグラスボード乗ってみたら、すんごくキレイでビックリ！
あいにくお天気は薄曇りでしたが、海中の美しさはとても素晴らしいかったです。
バスの中では三線の演奏もあり石垣島を満喫‼︎

I used the service on the afternoon of my arrival day. I took a flight that arrived at Ishigaki Airport at 12:30, and after quickly moving to the city and dropping off my luggage at the hotel, there wasn't much time before the meeting time, but I was glad I made it in time. This was my second time on Ishigaki Island, but my first visit was decades ago, and I remember using the regular sightseeing bus then as well. I recall visiting the Tomb of the Chinese and Kabira Bay, but the Tomb of the Chinese was under restoration during my first visit, so it was quite beautiful this time. It was also my first time riding a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. On the glass-bottom boat, I saw beautiful seas, coral reefs, colorful fish, and even sea turtles. Additionally, the shop we stopped by for tea time had a nice atmosphere, and I don't remember exploring the primeval forest before, so that was a new experience for me. I had a great time.

到着日の午後に利用しました。12時半に石垣空港に着く飛行機ですぐに市内に移動し、ホテルに荷物を預けたら集合時間まであまり時間がありませんでしたが、間に合ってよかったです。石垣島は2回目なのですが、1回目は何十年も前でその時も定期観光バスを利用したので、唐人墓と川平湾に行ったのは覚えていますが、唐人墓は前来た時は修復前だったので今回かなりきれいになっていたし、川平湾でグラスボートに乗ったのは初めてです。グラスボートでは、きれいな海にサンゴ礁、色とりどりの魚にウミガメも見れました。あと、ティータイムに立ち寄ったお店も雰囲気があったし、原生林?の散策も前はした覚えがないので、初体験でした。とても楽しかったです。

The weather was bad, so the points where you could see the beautiful scenery lacked impact. It's better not to have high expectations for lunch. It's a shame that there is only a round tour available in the morning. The guide's stories and songs were very good.

天気が悪かったので、せっかくの絶景が見られるポイントも感動がなく。
ランチは期待しない方が良いです。
午前発は一周ツアーしかないのが残念。
ガイドさんのお話や歌はとても良かったです。

The bus terminal was conveniently located right in front of the remote island terminal, making it easy to find, and since we returned to the same place, it was very convenient for shopping and dining afterwards. During the tour, the guide shared behind-the-scenes stories about famous people from Ishigaki Island, sang using a sanshin, and provided detailed information about the island's nature, which kept us engaged throughout. We visited several spots, but the beauty of Kabira Bay was truly breathtaking. On the glass-bottom boat, we were lucky enough to see many marine creatures like sea turtles, rays, and clownfish, which was a lot of fun!

離島ターミナル目の前のバスターミナル集合だったので分かりやすく、帰りも同じ場所で解散のため、その後の買い物＆食事をするのに非常に便利でした。
ツアー中はガイドさんが石垣島出身の著名人の裏話を話してくれたり、三線を使って歌を聴かせてくれたり、島の自然について詳しく話してくださるなど、飽きることなく過ごせました。
いくつかスポットを回りましたが、川平湾の美しさは群を抜いて感動しました。
グラスボートでも、運良く海亀やエイ、ニモなど沢山の海の生物を見ることができ、とても楽しかったです！

I had a great time participating while listening to the guide's stories and the songs played on the sanshin at the sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island. The optional glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay was also wonderful, with the colors of the sea being incredibly beautiful, creating great memories.

石垣島の観光名所を、ガイドのおじさんのお話や、三線の唄を聴きながら楽しく参加出来ました。オプションの川平湾グラスボートも、海の色が素晴らしく綺麗で、良い思い出になりました。

You can efficiently explore during the afternoon. There was information about celebrities from Ishigaki, and we enjoyed the guide's sanshin performance and singing. Although it was unfortunately rainy and windy that day, we were able to see many fish and corals while on the glass-bottom boat. It was great that it was a tour that a woman could easily join alone.

午後からの時間で効率よく回ってくれます。石垣出身の芸能人の情報あり、ガイドさんの三線や歌ありで楽しめました。当日は生憎の雨と風でしたがグラスボートでは魚や珊瑚がたくさん見られました。女性一人でも気軽に参加できるツアーで良かったです。

The weather was not favorable, and the scenery wasn't very good. However, after the sightseeing ended, I was dropped off at the airport, which was a great help.

天気に恵まれず、あまり良い景色じゃなかったです
でも、観光が終わり、空港で降ろしていただき
助かりました

This is a tour that covers all the places listed in the guidebook. I wasn't bored thanks to the guide's excellent narration. The stories about the culture of the Yaeyama Islands were fascinating. I thought it might be worth it to include the glass-bottom boat even if the price is a bit higher.

ガイドブックに載っている所は一通り巡るツアーです。ガイドさんの名調子で退屈しませんでした。八重山諸島文化の話は興味が湧きます。多少価格が高くなってもグラスボートも込みでも良いのではと思いました。

Even I, a 61-year-old who usually doesn't exercise, was able to do it. As long as I followed the instructor's guidance, I didn't fall. While nervously paddling on the SUP, I was moved by the fact that I was standing on the water using only my own strength. I was amazed by the emerald-colored sea and the coral, and when I went further out, the deep green water was about thirty meters deep. By that time, I had completely gotten used to it, enjoying the scenery around me while feeling the pleasant breeze. I was surprised that I could do it, feeling both good and a sense of accomplishment. I was filled with gratitude for my daughter and her husband who gifted me this trip.

普段なにも運動をしていない61歳の私でも出来ました。インストラクターの教えを守っていれば落ちることはありません。おっかなビックリSUPに乗り漕いでいると、海の上に自分の力だけで立っている事に感動。エメラルド色の海と珊瑚に驚き、沖に行くと濃い緑色の海もうそこは水深◯じゅうメーター。その頃にはすっかり慣れて周りの景色を楽しみながら心地よい風を受けて、気持ち良さと達成感で私でも出来た事に驚きました。この旅をプレゼントしてくれた娘夫婦に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいになりました。

I took a direct flight from Kansai International Airport to Ishigaki Island and participated in this bus tour for a day. The tour starts at 2 PM, so there's plenty of time to make it. We visited famous spots, including Kabira Bay, in 3.5 hours. (The sunset is also very beautiful.) On the way back, I took the 8:10 PM flight to Kansai International Airport to return to Osaka.

関空から石垣島まで直行便に乗り、日帰りでこのバスツアーに参加しました。ツアーは、2時からなので十分に間に合います。

Although the weather was unfortunate, thanks to our famous guide, it was an enjoyable tour. The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay is optional, but I highly recommend it.

It's a pity that the hamburger for lunch didn't suit my taste.

I also encountered some rare snails and hibiscus.

あいにくのお天気でしたが、名物？ガイドさんのおかげで、楽しいツアーでした。
川平湾のグラスボートはOPですが、ぜひ。

昼食のハンバーグがぼくの口には合わなかっのは残念です。

珍しいカタツムリやハイビスカスにも出会えました。

On the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I booked an afternoon island tour. The response was quick, and they also provided hotel pickup. The bus guide was kind, and I felt the warmth of the island's people.

石垣島に行った当日に、午後の島巡りを予約しました。対応が早くて、ホテルでのピックアップもしてくれました。
バスガイドさんも親切で、島の方々の優しさを感じました。

I was able to efficiently tour around Ishigaki Island while receiving enjoyable and interesting explanations from the veteran guide. Throughout the trip, they provided various explanations and even took photos at the photo points! For those visiting Ishigaki Island for the first time, I highly recommend participating in this course to hear various stories about Ishigaki Island. The performance of the Okinawan folk songs on the sanshin was also very good!

ベテランガイドさんの楽しく興味深い説明を受けながら、効率よく石垣島一周できました。
参加中、ずっと色んな説明をして下さり、フォトポイントでは写真も撮って下さいました‼︎
初めて石垣島に行かれる方はまずこのコースに参加して色んな石垣島の話を聞かれるコトを是非お勧め致しまぁす。八重山民謡の三線弾き語りもとても良かったです！
