All Reviews for Kabira Bay

It was my first experience with canoeing, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment as the guides were very kind and attentive, running alongside us and leading the way. I participated alone, but I was warmly supported, for which I am grateful. The bus driver was also friendly, providing guidance along the way and addressing each family by name. It was a wonderful tour. Thank you very much! ♪

カヌー初体験でしたがとても親切丁寧に並走したり導いてくださったりでやり遂げ感がありとても有意義な時を過ごせました。1人参加でしたが温かく見守ってくださり感謝です。バス送迎の方も親切で途中の道々のガイドをしながらファミリーごとの名前で話しかけてくださったりとてもよいツアーでした。ありがとうございました♪

Since I knew it would rain from the morning, I thought I would get by visiting tourist spots by bus. It didn't seem like the rain would stop, and the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was canceled, which was a bit disappointing. However, the guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I wasn't bored. When we arrived at Kabira Bay, there wasn't a single person around, and only a few glass-bottom boats were floating in the bay. There were no staff members, and it was very quiet. It felt surreal. Previously, I had visited on a sunny day and seen a lively scene, so I was instead healed by the calmness of Kabira Bay. I thought it would be nice to slowly enjoy a coffee while looking at this scenery. There are ways to enjoy rainy days too.

朝から雨と分かってたので、バスで観光地巡りで凌ごうと思いました。雨は止みそうに無いし、川平湾のグラスボートは中止となって「何だかなぁ〜」でもガイドさんのお話しも分かりやすくて退屈はしませんでした。そして川平湾に着くと人っ子一人居なくて湾の中にグラスボートだけ何隻か浮かんでる。スタッフも誰も居なくてとっても静か。幻想的でした。以前、晴れの日に来て賑やかな光景を観てたので逆に穏やかな川平湾に癒されました。この風景を見ながらゆっくりコーヒーを飲みたいなあーと思いました。雨の日の楽しみ方も有るんですね。

I think the beauty of the sea's color is in the northern part of Ishigaki Island, but even with not-so-great weather, the sea at Kabira Bay was very beautiful. They take you directly to the spots where you can see the corals and marine life.

海の色の綺麗さは、石垣島北部だと思うのですが、天候があまり良くなくても、川平湾の海はとても綺麗でした。
海の中のサンゴや生き物のいる所へ、ピンポイントで連れて行ってくれます。

I participated a few years ago, and this is my second time. The guide's pleasant voice was nice. There was no sanshin and singing this time, but the explanations about the sights were thorough. During the first visit, I was able to see the primeval forest, but this time it was just from the car window. For lunch, the main dish, hamburger? or tsukune?, was too sticky for my taste, but the simmered dishes were very delicious. The portion of white rice was small and left me wanting more.

数年前に参加して今回は2回目です。
ガイドさんの心地よい声がよかったです。三線と歌は今回はなかったですがその分、観光の説明が丁寧でした。
１回目は原生林も見学出来たのですが今回は車窓でした。
昼食はメインのハンバーグ？つくね？がねっとりしてて口に合いませんでしたが煮物はとても美味しかったです。白米の量が少なく物足りなかったです。

As someone without a car, the unlimited ride pass was very helpful! I only had to show the proof of purchase on my smartphone once, and the driver exchanged it for a paper ticket, so after that, it was easy to just show that.

車がない身としては乗り放題パスはありがたかったです！
一度だけスマホで購入証明を見せれば、運転手さんが紙のチケットと引き換えてくれたので、以降はそれを見せるだけで簡単でした。

During the journey, you shared little stories and taught us various things about Ishigaki Island, which was enjoyable! It was also great that you played the sanshin for us.

移動のときも小話をしてくださって、石垣島のことをいろいろ教えてください、楽しかったです！三線を引いてくださるのも良かったです。

I participated in a canoe tour at Kawahira Bay, which received three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. The weather was perfect, and I thoroughly enjoyed the emerald green sea and nature! I was also able to see the power spot, Heart Rock, and I made wonderful memories on Ishigaki Island. The guide, Hiro-san, shared many fun stories and recommended several great places to visit on Ishigaki Island. Next time, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding! Thank you!

ミシュラングリーンガイドで三ツ星を獲得した川平湾のカヌーツアーに参加しました。お天気にも恵まれて、エメラルドグリーンの海と自然を満喫しました！
パワースポットのハート岩も見る事ができて、石垣島で最高の思い出ができました〜
ガイドのHiro-sanのお話も楽しく、石垣島のオススメのお店もたくさん教えていただきました。
次回はSUP体験したいです！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the Kayak Tour at Kabira Bay that departs in the afternoon. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the clear waters of Kabira Bay, but I was able to enjoy the tropical trees and coral rocks along the shore! The guide, Hiro, shared some fun anecdotes, and the water play time along the way was also enjoyable.

午後出発の川平湾カヌーツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの曇り空で、川平湾の透き通った水面を見ることはできませんでしたが、岸辺の南国の木々や珊瑚の岩を楽しむことができました！
ガイドのひろさんの小ネタや途中の水遊びタイムも楽しかったです。

I was hoping to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but due to the weather, we ended up canoeing. Canoeing was easy enough for elementary school students to paddle, so both adults and children could enjoy it. I was satisfied that we could go to an area behind Kabira Bay that is usually inaccessible. The guide was friendly and it was really great.

川平湾SUPを希望していましたが、
天候の影響でカヌーになりました。
カヌーは小学生でも簡単にパドルを操作できるので大人も子供も楽しむことができました。川平湾の裏側という通常では行けないエリアにも行くことができて満足です。
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでとても良かったです。

It was unfortunately rainy, but we enjoyed the glass boat and the kids were happy. It might be good to have some motion sickness medication.

The food might not have been suitable for kids.

Overall, it was good.

あいにくの雨でしたが　グラスボートは楽しめて子供も喜んでました。
少し酔い止めがあった方が良いかも

食事が子供向けではなかったかも

でも全体によかったです

I came to Ishigaki Island to see sea turtles. If I couldn't see them, I was thinking of going to the research institute on Kuroshima the next day. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a sea turtle. I arrived a bit early, so I would like to thank the staff who guided me to an earlier boat and the captain who helped me meet the sea turtle. Thank you very much.

石垣島に来たのはウミガメを見るためでした。もし見れなければ次の日に黒島の研究所に行こうと思っていました。
何とラーキーな事にウミガメと出会えました。
少し早めに着いたので、早い船に案内して下さったスタッフさん、
ウミガメに会わせてくれた船頭さん
有難うございました。

I was able to efficiently visit tourist spots in a limited time, and the guide's stories were educational. I participated in a glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay and was able to see coral and sea turtles! Fortunately, I also got to see a crested serpent eagle along the way, which made for a great memory. This time, Ishigaki Island was a port of call for the cruise ship. For those flying back, it's recommended to stop by the airport on the return day if you have an evening flight.

限られた時間で観光地を効率よく巡ることができ、また、ガイドさんのお話も勉強になりました。川平湾でグラスボトムボートに参加して、珊瑚や海亀を見ることができました！運良く道中でカンムリワシも見ることができて、よい思い出になりました。今回、石垣島はクルーズ船の寄港地でした。飛行機での人も帰りに空港に寄るので、夕方の便なら帰る日にもお勧めです。

The weather was great, and it was the best cruise. I was happy to see sea turtles and Nemo (clownfish). It's a must for sightseeing in Ishigaki Island!

天気も良く、最高のクルーズでした
ウミガメもニモ(クマノミ)も見られてよかったです
石垣島観光にはマストです！

The 5-day ticket was convenient because I could use it anywhere from my arrival at the airport to my return without worrying about payment. When I had free time, I was able to visit places that weren't on my itinerary, and I managed to make round trips to a hotel a bit away from the port without using a taxi.

５日間のチケットは、空港到着から帰りの空港までどこに行くにも支払を気にせず使えるので便利でした。時間が空いた時、予定に無かった場所に出かけたり、港から少し離れたホテルへの往復もタクシーを使わずに済みました。

The canoeing at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at Osaki were the best. I had booked SUP at Kabira Bay and a trip to the Phantom Island, but due to strong winds, the boat couldn't go out, so they offered an alternative. It turned out to be a great decision to go with their suggestion.

Both the Kabira Bay canoeing and Osaki snorkeling included GoPro filming, so I didn't have to worry about losing my own camera or smartphone. The conversations during the car ride about Ishigaki Island and recommended dining spots were also enjoyable and helpful for the trip.

最高の川平湾カヌーと大崎シュノーケリングでした。川平湾SUPと幻の島で予約していましたが、風が強くて船が出せず、代替提案。良い機会なので提案に乗ってみたところ、大正解でした。
川平湾カヌーも大崎シュノーケリングもGoProで撮影してくれるので、自分のカメラやスマホを紛失する心配もありませんでした。
石垣島についての説明やおすすめの食事処など、移動車中の会話も楽しく旅の助けとなりました

This bus tour is perfect for sightseeing on the island without a rental car. It also includes a delicious lunch. You can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

レンタカーの予約無しで島の観光をしたい時にはピッタリのバスツアーです。美味しいランチもついてます。帰りは空港でおろしてもらえます。

I signed up for this tour thinking it was perfect since we would depart at 9:30 and be taken directly to the airport. The view of Kabira Bay was even more stunning than in the photos, and our guide skillfully shared the history of Ishigaki Island and famous landmarks while singing joyfully. Their beautiful singing almost brought me to tears. The driver was also very reassuring and provided excellent service. The lunch was delicious and healthy as well. I would love to visit again next time. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

9時30分出発、直接空港へ送ってもらえるのでちょうどイイツアーだなと思い申し込みました。
川平湾の景色は写真よりも絶景で石垣島の所々の歴史や、有名建造物など楽しく上手に歌を歌いながらガイドさんが案内してくれました。
素敵な歌声で涙が出そうになりました。そして運転手さんもとても安心できるドライバーさんで接客も素晴らしかったです。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく健康的なメニューでした。
また次回も訪れたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

Kabira Bay is amazing. I was able to see sea turtles. I would like to participate again when I come to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

川平湾最高です。ウミガメも見れました。石垣島に来た際はまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

It's very convenient as it efficiently takes you around the sightseeing spots on the island. You can enjoy it even without a rental car. The guide's explanations were very detailed and easy to understand, making it enjoyable. I think this local tour is especially recommended for older adults. The sightseeing bus was also large and very comfortable.

島内の観光名所を効率的に回ってくれるのでとても便利です。レンタカーが無くても、十分楽しめます。ガイドさんの説明も、とても詳細に分かりやすく楽しめました。年配者には特にお薦めの現地ツアーだと思います。観光バスも大きくてとても楽でした。

I think it would be better if you put more effort into things like caves, pottery, and glass-making. If things stay as they are, it won't be good. The Chinese Temple, the observation deck, and the food are not particularly unique. Why not start something more enjoyable? There's no sense of excitement at all. As it stands, you won't capture the hearts of young people, and it's not fun for the elderly either.

鍾乳洞　陶芸　ガラス作りとか
もつと工夫をしたらいいと思います　今のままではダメになりますよ　唐人の寺　展望台　食事も珍しく有りません　もっと楽しいこと始めません　ワクワク感がぜんぜんない　今のままで若い人の心掴めません　年寄りでも全然楽しくない

I wanted to go to Kabira Bay, so I joined a bus tour that was more affordable than taking a taxi. The tour itself wasn't bad, but my child seemed a bit bored. The time spent at each stop was also short, so I think those who want to take their time would enjoy a private taxi more.

川平湾に行きたくて、タクシーよりお手頃なバスツアーに参加しました。ツアー自体は悪くありませんでしたが、子供は少し退屈そうでした。立ち寄るポイントでの滞在時間も短かかったので、ゆっくり回りたい人はタクシー貸切の方が楽しめると思います。

I participated in a sightseeing bus tour of Ishigaki Island for the first time. At Kabi Park, we had the option to either take a stroll or pay an additional fee to ride a glass-bottom boat, so I chose the glass-bottom boat to see the coral reefs. Not only did we visit tourist attractions, but the bus guide provided clear and continuous explanations about the plants growing along the roads and local information about the town, making it enjoyable until the very end.

今回初めての石垣島観光バスツアーに参加しました。途中の川平公園で散策か追加費用を払ってグラスボートに乗って海中展望かを選択出来たのでグラスボートに乗ってサンゴ礁を観に行きました。観光名所だけで無く道に生えてる植物の説明や街中の地元情報までバスガイドさんの分かりやすく途切れのないガイドで最後まで楽しむことができました。

I think people who don't rent a car will be using the bus, but the 5-day free pass is a great deal, so I recommend purchasing it.

レンタカー借りていない人はバス移動だと思いますが、５日間フリーパスはお買い得なので購入した方がいいと思います。

It was very convenient! Definitely worth the purchase! I used it a lot while traveling by bus. I would like to buy it again! The driver was also very kind.

すごく便利でした！買って損なし！バスで回って使いまくりました。また買いたいと思います！運転手さんも優しかった

I was looking to ride a glass-bottom boat. It was cloudy, so I thought the visibility might have been better if it had been sunny, but there's nothing we can do about nature. Still, I was moved to see the beautiful seabed and even spotted a sea turtle.

I was worried about the bad weather in the morning, but I received a call from the staff at Marin House Gurukun, saying they could have us come earlier. Thanks to that, we were able to board an hour earlier than planned, and I appreciate the good attitude and service from all the staff.

グラスボートに乗りたくて探していました
曇っていたので 晴れていたらもっと透明度があったのかと思いましたが⋯自然の事には仕方ないですね
それでも綺麗な海底が見れウミガメも見れ感動しました
朝から天候不良で心配していた所 まりんはうすぐるくんさんから 早めに来てもらうことが出来ると電話をいただきました
おかげで予定より1時間早く乗ることが出来 スタッフの皆さんの感じも良く 対応に感謝します

Even when it's not sunny, the underwater scenery is beautiful. If the waves are rough, you might feel a bit seasick. Maybe it's because of my age. I was very concerned about the dead coral. It made me feel complicated, wondering if the situation here is destroying the Earth, but I decided to go for it. This is because I'm from a landlocked prefecture.

晴れていなくても、海の中がきれいに見えます。波が荒いと少し船酔いするかもしれません。歳のせいでしょうか。珊瑚の死骸が非常に気になってしまいました。ここで加工している事態が地球を破壊しているのかなと複雑な気持ちになりましたが踏み切りでした。なぜなら、海なし県出身だからです。

I made a reservation for 9:20, but since I arrived early, I was able to join the previous group. The sea was calm, and I was able to see a lot of fish right from the start. The staff's boat control was amazing! They adjusted the speed while providing explanations, which was fantastic. I even got to see a sea turtle swimming away from the rocks, which was the highlight! I also saw a clownfish.

9:20を予約しましたが、早く着いたので前の回に乗せていただけました。海も穏やかで、初っ端からたくさんの魚達を見ることができました。スタッフさんの船コントロールがヤバい！解説しながらポイントに合わせて前進後進速度ダウン、最高でした。岩で休んでるウミガメが泳ぎ出すところまで見れて最高でした！カクレクマノミも見れました。

I had a reservation for 1 PM, but since I arrived early, they let me take an earlier boat. It's the first place you come to when you drive there. The beach is very beautiful. I recommend taking photos from the observation deck.

13時予約でしたが、早く着いたので早い回の船に乗せてくれました。車で行くと最初にでてくるところです。浜辺は大変綺麗です。展望台からの写真はお薦めです。

Upon arriving at Ishigaki Airport, I quickly found the bus stop for another company's curry tour bus and then turned back to wait for the bus at the Toei Bus stop. After a few minutes, it started to rain, but there was a roof, so I didn't get wet, and the weather was just right, so it wasn't a bother.

The bus first stopped in front, and I boarded from the front after showing the driver my smartphone voucher. At first, he seemed puzzled, but when I explained that I purchased the ticket online, he asked me to enlarge the voucher, which I did. He also asked for my name, and once I provided it, he issued my ticket.

There was a sticker from Veltra in front of the leftmost seat, which reassured me. I think I was the only one using it. Since I could use points and earn points, I felt it was definitely more economical to purchase here, but there seems to be a risk if the flight doesn't operate on the day of travel. It seems you can cancel up until the day before. I felt a little nervous about that.

If you round trip from the airport to the bus center within 24 hours, I think this option is a good deal. I actually wanted to stop by other places, but due to the rain clouds, it was pouring on that day, so I gave up on everything. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity next time.

石垣空港到着、
すぐに乗り場を見つけ他社のカリー観光のバス乗り場まで行ってUターンして東バスの乗り場でバスを待つこと数分、雨が降ってきましたが屋根もあり濡れることもなくちょうど良い気候だったので苦になりませんでした。
バスは前に一旦止まってからパックしてきて前側より乗車、運転手さんにスマホのバウチャーを見せて最初は何それ的な感じでしたがWebでチケットで購入したんですよと伝えるとバウチャーを拡大してくれと言われたので拡大してみせました。
また、名前を聞かれたので伝えると
チケットを発行していただけました。
左側一番前の席の前にベルトラの貼り紙が
あったので安心しました。
利用しているのは自分一人だったと思います。
ポイントも使えポイントも付くので絶対にこちらで購入した方がお得だと感じましたが当日飛行機が飛ばなくて利用できない時はリスクがありそうです。
前日までであればキャンセルできるみたいです。
ちょっとだけドキドキしました。
空港からバスセンターまで往復すると
24時間以内ならこちらがお得だと思います。
本当は立ち寄りや他に行きたいところもありましたが当日は雨雲の影響でかなりの雨が降っていたので全て諦めました。
次回も機会があれば利用したいです。

I purchased it because I will be making two round trips from the airport to the bus terminal. I think it's a great deal since I was also able to use the bus for other trips.

空港からバスターミナルを2往復するので購入しました。それ以外にもバスを利用出来たのでとってもお得だと思います。
