All Reviews for Kabira Bay

It was disappointing that it rained, the weather wasn't good, and it was a bit cold. The only saving grace was being able to see the emerald green sea. Also, I was able to see the corals clearly from the glass-bottom boat.

雨降りで、天候が良くなく、少し寒くて残念でした。救いはエメラルドグリーンの海が見れたことです。それからグラスボートでサンゴの様子がしっかり見えたことぐらい。

I had a great time on the morning tour. After experiencing Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island, I definitely need to see Ishigaki Island as well. Kabira Bay is amazing. Thanks to the guide, I was able to understand the highlights well.

午前のコースで、楽しめました。西表島も竹富島も経験したら、やはり石垣島も見ないとね。川平湾は最高。ガイドさんのおかげで見どころがよくわかりました。

I took a day trip from Kansai. Since my evening flight was late, I joined the tour in the afternoon. It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so it was great to quickly visit the highlights and get a sense of the overall experience.

Unfortunately, it rained, but both the guide and the driver were very kind, providing umbrellas, which made the day enjoyable. There were also others who participated alone, just like me.

I was able to reach the meeting point at the bus terminal by taking a local bus, and arriving on a flight around noon worked out perfectly. If I have the chance again, I would like to stay a bit longer next time.

関西からの１人日帰りです。夜の便が遅いので午後から日帰りで参加しました。石垣島は初めてだったので、見所をさっとまわれて、全体感がつかめてよかったです。
あいにくの雨だったのですが、ガイドさんも運転手さんもとても親切で、傘もご用意いただき、楽しく過ごすことができました。
私と同様１人で参加されている方もいらっしゃいました。
集合場所のバスターミナルまでは路線バスで行くことができ、お昼頃到着する飛行機で行くと、ちょうどよかったです。
また機会があったら、今後はもう少しゆっくり滞在したいと思います。

This is a tour that allows you to efficiently explore Ishigaki Island. It seems that March has a lot of rain, but somehow the weather held up, and the sea was beautiful. Sitting on the left side of the bus offers a better view of the ocean. The lunch was a bit disappointing, but everything else was very satisfying. The female guide also included jokes from time to time, making it a very enjoyable experience. If I have the opportunity to go to Ishigaki again, I would like to participate.

石垣島を効率よく周ることができるツアーです。
3月は雨が多いようなのですが、なんとか天気ももち、海が綺麗でした。
バスは左側に座った方が海がよく見えます。
昼食は少し期待はずれでしたが、その他は大満足です。女性のガイドさんも時折ジョークを交えながらでとても楽しく過ごせました。また石垣に行く機会があれば参加したいです。

There was a large bus with a driver and a guide, but I happened to be the only participant. The guide was friendly and shared various stories about Ishigaki as if talking to a friend. When I mentioned that I would be driving around the next day with a rental car, they also gave me some advice.

大きなバスに運転手さん、ガイドさん付でしたが、たまたま、私１名の参加でした。
ガイドさんは、友人と話しているかのように、気さくで石垣の色々な話をしてくれました。
次の日のレンタカーで回るというと、アドバイスもしてくれました。

I was very grateful for the tour that took us around the famous spots in Ishigaki Island and dropped off those who wanted to at the airport. I was able to learn about the greatness of Yoko Gushiken and nature (!). It was a fun tour. The guide, Rosanna (?), seemed to be a pinch hitter, but she was great. However, at Kabira Bay, it would have been better to skip the glass boat and allocate that time for walking and photography. It felt rushed due to the lack of time, and I had already seen the glass boat the day before at Taketomi Island.

石垣島の名所を回って希望者は空港で降ろしてくれる内容で大変助かりました。具志堅用高の偉大さと天然（！）を知ることが出来、楽しいツアーでした。ガイドのロザンナ（？）はピンチヒッターらしいけど◎でした。但し、川平湾ではグラスボートは止めて、散策・撮影にあてた方が良かったです。時間がなく慌ただしかったのと、グラスボートは前日竹富島で見たので。

This is my second time in Ishigaki Island, but I thought I didn't know anything about it, so I applied on short notice. The wind was strong and it was occasionally drizzling under a cloudy sky, but Kabira Bay was beautiful and blue. It was enjoyable to hear the explanations from the female guide.

On a personal note, I accidentally booked for the wrong day this time and had to hurriedly change my reservation, but as expected, there was a cancellation fee, which was disappointing.

２度目の石垣島ですが、石垣島のことを何も知らないと思い差し迫った日に申し込みました。
風が強く時々小雨の曇り空でしたが、川平湾は青かったです。女性のガイドさんの説明で、こうした話を聞くのは楽しいです。

私ごとでしが、今回うっかりと１日間違えて申し込み、慌ててキャンセル変更しましたが、当たり前ですがキャンセル料が発生してて残念無念。

The weather was bad, and it rained quite a bit along the way, but I had a great time! Since I visited Kabira Bay the day before when it was sunny, it was nice to see a different side of Kabira Bay (laughs).

The Yaeyama Palm Grove was impressive! The rain made it feel even more like a jungle (^^) lol.

The female bus guide (it was a morning tour, but instead of an older male guide, it was a woman) was very entertaining, so I enjoyed myself the whole time.

I think it's reasonable to have lunch included at this price♪

However, there was one disappointing thing. In the morning, the driver who came to pick us up was calling out the names of the tour participants one by one, but they didn't call our names, and we weren't even on the reservation list. When we told them our names, they said, "You’re not on the list, so it must be a mistake." When I showed them the voucher and explained the tour details, they finally said, "Oh, this tour," and let us on.

...We almost got left behind (>_<).

Everyone, please be cautious as such things can happen.

Despite this incident, the tour itself was very good (^^).

お天気が悪く、途中結構な雨になってしまいましたが、楽しかったです！
川平湾は、晴れていた前日に行っていましたので、違う顔の川平湾が見られて良かったです(笑)

ヤエヤマヤシ林は見ごたえありました！
雨なので余計にジャングルっぽさが増していましたし(^^)笑

バスの女性ガイドさん(午前発のコースでしたが、おじさんガイドではなく女性でした)が、
とても面白くお話ししてくださるので、終始楽しかったです。

ランチ付きでこのお値段だとリーズナブルだと思います♪

しかし、ひとつだけ残念だった事が。
朝、ホテルに迎えにきた運転手さんがツアー参加者の名前を一組ずつ呼んでいましたが、
私達の名前は呼んでくれなかったどころか、予約リストにも入っていなかったんです。
「〇〇です」と自分たちの名前を伝えても「〇〇様は、お名前ないから違いますね」と。
「でも東運輸さんですよね？」とバウチャーを見せて、ツアーの詳細を説明すると、
「ああ、このツアーですね」と、やっと乗せてくれました。

・・・危うく置いて行かれるところでした(>_<)

皆様、こういう事もありますので、十分ご注意ください。

このような事もありましたが、ツアー自体はとても良かったです(^^)

I participated in the tour because I wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sightseeing, and it included a stop at the airport after the tour to return to Tokyo that evening. However, the female guide was so entertaining, and when she started playing the sanshin and singing Yaeyama folk songs, someone from the same tour began to whistle, turning the bus into a mini concert hall. The scenery visible from the bus windows perfectly matched the moment, making it a memorable first visit to Ishigaki Island. At the airport, I had coffee at the southernmost Starbucks in Japan before heading home. I would love to join again.

By the way, I found it impressive that the number of guides on Ishigaki Island is fewer than the number of Iriomote cats on Iriomote Island. Keep up the great work, guides!

綺麗な景色と観光を楽しみたいのと、当日の夕方、東京に帰る為ツアー終了後に空港に寄るツアーと言う事で参加しました。しかし、ツア－の女性のガイドさんの話しが楽しく、ガイドさんの三線（サンシン）と八重山民謡（島唄）が始まると、同じツア－の方が指笛を吹いて、バスの中はちょっとしたコンサート会場のようで、その時の車窓から見えた景色ととても良く合い、心残る初めての石垣島となりました。空港では、国内最南端にあるスタバックスでコーヒーを飲んで帰りました。また参加したいです。
そう言えば、石垣島のガイドさんの数は、西表島のイリオモテヤマネコの数より少ないと言っていたのも印象的でした。ガイドさん頑張って～

This was my first stay in Ishigaki Island. Although it was just a little over half a day of sightseeing, I was blessed with good weather and had a fulfilling time.

Before participating, I had planned not to include the glass-bottom boat. However, when we arrived at Kabira Bay, we encountered a sudden rain shower and decided to join in. Even with the rain, the water's clarity in the bay remained exceptionally high, allowing us to enjoy the corals and fish, which was a lot of fun. In the end, it was definitely the right decision to participate. When we disembarked, the blue sky spread out before us, and we enjoyed the wonderful scenery. At other stops, I was captivated by the beauty of Ishigaki Island.

Lunch was much more luxurious than I had expected, and I enjoyed delicious Okinawan cuisine! During the bus ride, we had interesting and informative stories, along with lively performances of sanshin and singing.

Next time I stay in Ishigaki Island, I would like to visit the places I went to this time again.

初めての石垣島滞在。半日ちょっとの観光でしたが、お天気にも恵まれ充実した時間を過ごせました。
参加前はグラスボートをつけない予定でした。なぜか川平湾についたときのみ通り雨にあい、急遽参加しました。雨でも湾内の透明度は変わらず非常に高く、サンゴや魚を鑑賞でき楽しかったです。結果、参加して正解。下船したときには、青空が広がり素晴らしい景色も堪能。その他の下車地でも石垣島の美しさにうっとりしました。
お昼は予想より非常に豪華で、沖縄のご飯を美味しくいただきました！バス移動中は面白く為になる話と三線&歌で盛り上がりました。
次回石垣島に滞在するときは、今回訪れた場所にまた行ってみたいです

The weather was bad, so I couldn't see the Marine Blue that I was looking forward to. I was a bit disappointed because I had high expectations for Marine Blue. The male guide entertained us during the tour with the sound of the sanshin and local island songs. The tour included plenty of highlights like the Tomb of the Chinese, Kabira Bay, Tamatorizaki Observatory, and the Yaeyama Palm forest, making it a great deal.

The morning bus tour with lunch was a good value and highly recommended. The ingredients for lunch were great, and the pickled bitter melon was the best. I wanted to buy some to take home. I enjoyed it very much.

I made a mistake and got the date wrong, which caused trouble for the bus company, Beltora. However, thanks to the bus company's proper advice, I was able to change it to the next day, which made me happy. Without the bus company's advice, I would have lost my payment. I would also like to thank Beltora and the bus company for their assistance.

お天気が悪くて、楽しみにしていたマリーンブルーを見ることができませんでした。
マリーンブルーへの期待が大きかったため、少々がっかり。
男性ガイドさんの”さんしん”の音色と地元の島唄　ツアー中楽しませてくれます。
唐人墓、川平湾、玉取崎展望台、ヤエヤマヤシの林と盛りだくさんで、お得です。
午前発ランチ付きのバスツアー　お得でお勧めです。
ランチの食材もよかったし、ゴーヤの漬け物最高でした。買って帰りたいくらいでした。おいしくいただきました。

ミスで、日にちを間違えて、バス会社、ベルトラさんに迷惑をおかけしましたが、バス会社の適切なアドバイスで翌日に変更してもらい、うれしかったです。バス会社さんのアドバイスがなければ、代金を損するところでした。また対応してくださったベルトラさん、バス会社さんにもお礼申し上げます。

The morning course is a great deal with lunch included. The wonderful voice of the male guide, the sound of the sanshin, and the island songs are enjoyable. I wish there had been some sunshine. I was looking forward to the color of the sea at Kabira Bay, but it was cloudy, which was disappointing. The lunch was delicious, and aside from the weather, I was satisfied. I made a mistake with the date, but the staff at Veltra were very helpful, which made me happy. I highly recommend this course; it offers great value.

午前のコースはランチ付きでお得です。
男性ガイドのすてきな声、さんしんの音色、島唄は楽しませてくれます。
これで晴れ間があれば、よかったのですが。
川平湾の海の色を期待していたのですが、曇り空で残念。
ランチもおいしかったし、空模様以外は満足です。
自分のミスで日にちを間違えており、それにもベルトラさんが対応してくれて、うれしかったです。
お勧めで、お得感いっぱいのコースです。

It was a tour that covered all the highlights.
The male guide provided explanations, making sure to cover the key attractions.
He entertained us by playing the sanshin and singing island songs.
Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, we couldn't see the colors of the sea that we were hoping for.

見所を押さえた一周ツアーです。
男性のガイドさんの説明で、見所を押さえたツアーでした。
さんしんを弾きながら、島唄を歌って楽しませてくれます。
お天気が悪くて期待していた海の色はみえませんでした。

It depends on the weather, but you can take a tour that includes lunch at a low price. The male guide's fun island songs and the sound of the sanshin made the time fly by. This time, the weather was bad, and the color of the sea in Ishigaki Island was not great. It was disappointing. The lunch was delicious, and it would have been perfect if the sun had come out.

お天気に左右されますが、安くてランチ付きで一周できます。
男性ガイドさんの楽しい島唄、さんしんの音色で、時間はあっと言うまに過ぎました。
今回は天気が悪くて、石垣島の海の色はもうひとつでした。残念でした。
ランチもおいしかったし、これで晴れ間が出れば最高だったのですが。

I was disappointed because I was expecting the color of the sea. The guide's talk was interesting, and time passed quickly. I took a glass-bottom boat, but the weather was bad, and the coral reef was not great. The lunch was just okay. It was good for the price to make a quick round, but I think it depends on the weather.

海の色を期待していたので、残念。
案内の人のトークが面白くて、時間が過ぎるのが早かった。
グラスボートに乗りましたが、天気が悪くて珊瑚礁もう一つでした。
お昼の食事はまあまあ。
ざっと一周するには、値段の割によかったですが、天気によると思います。

I thought I had booked the tour with the famous old man, but a woman was in charge. The tour had plenty of time at each location, allowing us to see everything thoroughly. The guide's explanations were clear and interesting, making it a more fulfilling experience than I expected. I wouldn't recommend the lunch as it wasn't very tasty, but everything else was wonderful, so I would love to go again if I get the chance.

名物おじさんのツアーと思い午前中の予約にしたのですが、女性の方が担当でした。ツアーはどこも時間に余裕がありしっかり見ることが出来たのとガイドさんの説明が分かりやすく、面白かったので予想以上に充実したツアーになりました。ランチはあまり美味しくなかったのでオススメしませんが、それ以外は素晴らしいのでまたチャンスがあれば行きたいです。

I was unsure whether to rent a car in Ishigaki Island or to use a jumbo taxi or bus for sightseeing, so I made my reservation with some hesitation. Just before the trip, the jumbo taxi driver suggested that instead of taking the bus, we could continue sightseeing with the jumbo taxi. However, I thought it might be difficult to cancel, so I decided to go ahead with it. We had a child in a wheelchair, but both the bus driver and the guide were very nice, and I really appreciated their help with folding and lifting the wheelchair and their consideration for the child’s needs! The guide was skilled, incorporating songs and the sanshin, which made for a very enjoyable half-day filled with laughter and jokes. They took us to places we wouldn’t have been able to visit on our own, and we had a great time.

石垣島でレンタカー借りるより、ジャンボタクシーや、バスで観光出来るかな？と迷いながらの予約申込でした。直前、ジャンボタクシーの人から、バスで観光するより、このままジャンボタクシーで観光しては？と言われましたが、キャンセルするのもどうかなと思い、そのまま参加しました。車椅子の子供がいたのですが、バスの運転手さんもガイドさんも好い人で、車椅子をたたんでの上げ下ろしや、不自由な子供への配慮がとても有難かったです！ガイドも上手で、歌や三線取り入れて、笑いあり、冗談ありでとても楽しい半日でした。家族だけではなかなか行けないところに連れていってくれ、楽しかったです

It was a fun time hearing stories from the local guide. However, I felt there wasn't much time to spare.

現地のガイドさんからお話が聞けて、楽しい時間でした。ただとても時間にゆとりがなかった～って思います。

The reasonable tour was great.

リーズナブルなツアーで良かった。xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You can participate with peace of mind even if you're traveling alone. The guide was very enjoyable, and there was no feeling of being rushed; we were able to take our time (＾_＾). I'm very satisfied!

一人旅でも安心して参加出来ます
ガイドさんも、とても楽しく
時間に追われる感じもなく、ゆっくりまわれました（＾_＾）
大満足です！

This time, I used a bus tour for my solo trip. It was great to be able to circle around Ishigaki Island, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable and easy to understand, with lovely singing as well. I was able to learn things that I wouldn't have known without the bus tour, which was very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed my solo trip. Thank you very much.

今回、一人旅ということでバスツアーを利用させていただきました。石垣島を一周できて、ガイドさんの説明も楽しかったり分かりやすく、歌も素敵でした。バスツアーではないとわからない事も聞けてとても良かったです。
一人旅満喫できました。ありがとうございました。

The tour to the remote islands was canceled due to the typhoon, so I signed up to participate on short notice. There were some issues considering the price. I hope to join next time when the weather is nice.

台風の影響で離島のツアーが中止になり急遽申し込み参加。料金の割にはどころがありました。次は天気の良い時に参加したいと思います。

- This is a very efficient plan for sightseeing in Ishigaki Island for those who do not drive.
- By the third day, when we were starting to feel tired, the relaxed morning departure and the option for hotel pickup and airport drop-off were great.
- The scenery was beautiful, of course, but the history of the Tomb of the Chinese and the explanation of the island songs from our guide were very moving.
- As mentioned in other comments, if you take a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, you won't have time to enjoy the view from the observation deck, so we went to see the scenery of Kabira Bay separately.

・初めての石垣島観光で、車を運転しない者にとって、とても効率良く石垣島の観光地を周れるプランです。
・そろそろ疲れの出始めた3日目でしたが、朝の出発もゆったりで、ホテルでのピックアップおよび空港下車が選択出来たのも良かったです。
・景色が美しいのはもちろんでしたが、ガイドさんから伺った唐人墓の歴史や、島唄の解説はとても感慨ふかかったです。
・他の方のコメントにもありましたが、川平湾でグラスボートに乗ると、展望台からの景色を観る時間はなくなってしまうので、私たちは川平湾の景色は別途観に行きました。

I was looking forward to having a guide who was an older man, but it turned out to be a woman. She was very experienced and I was able to hear various stories, which was nice in its own way. She made sure to take us to photogenic spots and helped us take as many pictures as possible at Kabira Bay.

The time spent at each landmark was short, but given that we wanted to see as much as possible within the time frame, it couldn't be helped. On the plus side, we were able to visit many places, which was fulfilling.

Since this was my several visits to Ishigaki Island, there were places I had already been to, but there was also new information, so I never got bored.

おじいのガイドが楽しみだったんですが、女性の方でした。経験豊富で、いろんな話も聞けましたし、それはそれでよかったです。写真写りがいい場所だとか、川平湾でできるだけ写真が撮れるようにと配慮してくれました。
各名所での滞在時間が短いですが、時間内に回ろうと思えば仕方ないですね。その分、たくさんの場所に行けて充実しています。
何回目かの石垣島なので、既に行ったことがある場所もあったのですが、新情報もあって飽きることはなかったです。

I made a reservation the day before. I heard that the "Uncle Guide" has days off, and we were lucky to have him on that day, but if you can choose your schedule, I recommend checking in advance to ensure that the Uncle Guide is available on the day you book.

The pamphlet was specifically for the tour, so it was very clear about where we were going next and how long it would take, which gave me a great sense of reassurance. Kabira Bay was as beautiful as I had heard, but personally, I preferred Tamatorizaki Observatory!! It was incredibly beautiful even in October.

The Uncle Guide's explanations were very easy to understand and entertaining, so I found myself completely absorbed. Along the way, he played the sanshin and sang Yaeyama folk songs! I was really glad it was an Uncle Guide day (*・∀・*).

If I had to mention something, it would be that the Uncle Guide's voice was sometimes a bit quiet (I heard that people from Okinawa generally have soft voices), so it might be better to sit in the front seats of the bus.

前日に予約しました。「おじさんガイド」はお休みの日もあるとのこと、私たちはなまたまその日おじさんガイドでラッキーでしたが、日程を選べる場合はあらかじめ問い合わせて、おじさんガイドがお休みでない日に予約されることをお勧めします。
パンフレットがツアー専用なので、次はどこに行くのか、どれぐらいかかるかなど全て分かりやすく、非常に安心感のあるツアーでした。川平湾は聞いていた通りの綺麗さでしたが、それよりも個人的には玉取崎展望台がよかった！！10月なのにすごく綺麗です。

おじさんガイドの説明もすごく分かりやすく、かつ面白いので、ついつい聞き入ってしまいます。途中では三線を引かながら八重山の民謡を歌ってくださいます！本当におじさんガイドの日でよかったです(*・∀・*)

強いていうのであれば、おじさんガイドはたまに声が小さいので(沖縄の方は皆さん声が小さいと伺いました)、バスの前の席に座った方がいいかもしれません。

I had an amazing time!! The guide was fantastic!! The weather was great too, just perfect!!

I was planning to visit a remote island, so my stay in Ishigaki Island was short, and I was wondering what to do when I found this tour. The price was reasonable, and I thought, "What could it be like?" So I decided to join, and it was the right choice!!

The lunch at the restaurant with a great view was delicious as well. Thank you very much.

すごく楽しかったです‼️
ガイドさんも最高‼️
お天気も良くて、最高‼️

離島に渡る予定でしたので、石垣島の滞在時間が短くて、どうしようかなぁと思っているところにこのツアーを見つけました。
お値段も安いし、どんなもんかな❓と、参加してみたら、大正解‼️

眺めの良いレストランでのお昼ごはんも美味しかったです。
ありがとうござました。

The bus guide's explanations and the sanshin performance were excellent, and the singing was amazing. There was also a café time along the way, making it a great value for the cost.

バスガイドさんの説明や三線が、うまくて歌声がすごいです。途中でカフェタイムもあり、コスト的にもお得ですよ。

The wonderful sound of the sanshin and the lovely singing voice. I brought my child, and I was happy that they frequently engaged with us. I would definitely like to participate again.

ステキな三線の音色とステキな歌声。子どもを連れて行ったのですが、こまめに話しかけて下さって嬉しかったです。また、ぜひ参加したいです。

We used this service for a family trip that included my mother and my husband's mother. While our family played at the beach, the two mothers took a bus tour. They said the guide's stories were interesting and that the places they visited were very nice.

On the way there, they picked us up from the hotel, but it was a bit unclear that we would be dropped off at the bus terminal on the way back. However, they kindly explained the bus details, including where to board, so we were able to return without any issues.

私・主人の母含めた家族旅行で利用。
私たち家族が海で遊んでいる間に、母２人がバスツアーを利用しました。ガイドさんの話が面白くて、まわったところもとてもよかったと言っていました。
行きはホテルに迎えに来てもらったのですが、帰りはバスターミナル解散というのがわかりずらかったです。
でもホテルまでのバスについて、乗り場など丁寧に教えてくれ、問題なく帰ってこれました。

I used this service for my first trip to Ishigaki. It was incredibly hot, but I was moved by the stunning views. The guide sang and played the sanshin for us. What a wonderful voice they have! I was enchanted. On the flight back, I was thinking about when I could visit Ishigaki again. I would love to use this service again next time! Thank you very much.

初めての石垣旅行で利用しました。すっごい暑かったけど、絶景を見れて感動しました。ガイドさんが三線で弾き語りして下さいました。いいお声の持ち主ですねえ。うっとりしました。帰りの飛行機の中で、次いつまた石垣行こうかなあーって考えてました。次回もまた御世話になりたいです！本当にありがとうございました。
