All Reviews for Kabira Bay

The buses in Ishigaki Island are expensive, so the free pass is very convenient and cost-effective. It costs over 1,000 yen just from the airport to Kabira, so if used wisely, you can save quite a bit. It's not limited to a single day but is valid for 24 hours, which gives you more time to use it.

When you show the reservation screen from Veltra, the driver will give you a paper ticket. I realized this free pass existed on my last day and hurried to buy it. There are even better deals for 2,000 yen for five days, so I want to make sure to buy it next time. You can also purchase it directly on the bus, but using Veltra allows you to use coupons and points, and there's no cash exchange, making it convenient.

I regret not noticing it sooner.

石垣島のバスは高いので、フリーパスはとても便利でコスパが良いです。空港からカビラまでだけで1000円以上するので、上手く使えばかなり節約できます。1日区切りではなく24時間なので、使える時間も長いです。

ベルトラの予約画面を見せると、運転手さんが紙のチケットをくれます。私は、このフリーパスがあることを最終日に気づき、急いで買いました。5日間で2000円ともっとお得なものがあるので、次回は忘れずに買いたいです。バスで直接買うこともできますが、ベルトラ経由でクーポンやポイントが使えたり、現金でのやりとりもないので便利です。

もっと早く気付かなかったことを後悔しています。

The explanation by the bus guide was great, and the folk songs and sanshin performances were also wonderful. Since they were in the local dialect, it was a valuable experience. However, unfortunately, I needed an interpreter, so I couldn't fully understand the lyrics.

バスガイドさんによる説明もさることながら、民謡、三線演奏とか良かったです。
現地ならではの方言によるものなので貴重です。しかし残念ながら通訳が必要なので歌詞の内容は100%の理解はできなかったですが。

At the bus stop, show the purchase screen on your smartphone to the staff to receive a pass that can be used for 24 hours from that time. While checking the timetable, consider where to go on the limited number of buses and how to return to your accommodation. If you can get on and off three times, it’s a good deal.

バス停でスマホの購入画面を係の人に見せてその時間から24時間使えるパスを受け取ります。時刻表を見ながら少ない本数のバスに乗ってどこへ行くか、どう戻って宿まで行くか。3回も乗り降りできたら元がとれお得です。

I had a great day exploring Ishigaki Island. Although the sky was cloudy, the scenery was almost exactly like in the brochure. The prices were reasonable, and the glass-bottom boat, which was an additional charge, was excellent. I've experienced other glass-bottom boats several times before, but this one was the best.

石垣島一周、曇り空でしたがパンフレットとほとんど一緒の景色を経験出来て、とても良い一日になりました。料金も手軽で、別料金のグラスボートはとても良かった
今まで何回か他のクラスボードの経験はありますが、一番良かった。

I participated with small children. We received plenty of explanations and saw various coral reefs, fish, and sea turtles multiple times. We had a wonderful time, and the children were very happy. Thank you very much.

小さい子どもたちと一緒に参加をさせていただきました。
たっぷりとご説明やいろんな珊瑚礁、魚たち、海亀も何度も見させていただきました。とても良い時間を過ごせて子どもたちも喜んでいました。
有難うございました。

Since it was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I booked this tour with airport transfer on the last day to enjoy sightseeing in the surrounding islands as well.

初めての石垣島旅行でしたので、周辺諸島の観光も堪能した最終日に、空港送迎のある、このツアーを申込みました。

It was easy to get around to various places! There weren't many buses, so there were some time constraints, but it was convenient not having to deal with payments each time. When I showed the driver my screen to exchange the voucher, he asked, "Did you buy this?" which was a bit frustrating since I was showing it because I had bought it, but I was able to exchange it without any issues.

色んなところを周れて楽でした！
バスの本数があまりないので時間の制約はありましたが、毎回支払いする手間もなく便利です。
最初にバウチャーを交換してもらうため、お願いしますと運転手さんに画面を見せると「これ買ったの？」と…買ったから見せてるんだよとモヤッとしましたが、無事引き換えてもらいました。

My first trip to Ishigaki Island was a solo journey, and since it was during the rainy season, I chose a bus tour. In the end, it was a great decision! I was able to see the famous spots of Ishigaki Island in half a day, and the guide's explanations about each location, as well as the history, industry, and culture of Ishigaki Island, were clear and enjoyable. Fortunately, the weather was sunny, and the view of Kabira Bay was amazing! I got to look at the coral reefs through a glass-bottom boat and even saw sea turtles. I truly enjoyed the charm of Ishigaki Island!

初めての石垣島、しかも一人旅だったのと雨期に入ってたのでバスツアーを選びました。
結果的に、大正解でした！
石垣島の名所を半日で見ることができ、ガイドさんの各スポットの説明や、石垣島の歴史・産業・文化のお話などが分かりやすくて楽しめました。
幸い、快晴で川平湾の景色はサイコウでした！
グラスボートでサンゴ礁の海の中を眺めて、ウミガメも見られました。
石垣島の魅力を堪能できました！

I'm glad we were able to visit various places by bus, including those that are not accessible by car. It was great to go to Kawahira Park and see fish while on the glass-bottom boat. We were able to see sea turtles as well.

バスで、色々な場所、車でないと行かれない場所など行って頂き良かったです、川平公園、グラスボート行かれ魚見られ良かったです、ウミガメは見られた、

If you purchase a one-day ticket or a round-trip airport ticket on-site, it only accepts cash, so if you know the date you will use it, it's better to buy it in advance through Veltra. By simply showing the purchase screen, you can exchange it for a boarding pass and also use your credit card for point redemption.

一日券や空港往復券は現地バスで購入すると現金のみ対応なので使う日が決まっていれば予めベルトラでの購入が得です。購入画面を提示するだけで乗車券とひきかえポイント消費もクレジットカード利用もできます。

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.
