Okinawa
I used this for a family trip. The locals were warm, and I had a great experience. I was very satisfied to buy pineapples cheaply on Yufu Island.
家族旅行で利用しました。
現地の皆さんも温かく、良い経験ができました。
由布島でパイナップルを安く買えて大満足です。
I had my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in a calm bay with almost no waves. Before arriving at the location, we had time to take photos at a spot where we could overlook Kabira Bay, making it a fun time that was not only an experience but also a memorable one.
波もほぼない穏やかな湾でSUP初体験でした。現地到着前に川平湾を一望できるスポットで写真を撮る時間があったりと体験だけでなく記念にも残る楽しい時間を過ごせました。
The guide's stories were very easy to listen to, and I was moved by the song after the storytelling. The driver ensured a safe and pleasant bus tour experience.
This was my first trip to Okinawa, and I had a great time while feeling the warmth of the local people. I was able to return home with wonderful memories. Thank you very much.
ガイドさんのお話しが とても聞き易く

気持ち良くバスツアーに参加させて頂来ました
今回初めて沖縄旅行でしたので
大変楽しく又 沖縄の皆さんの
あたたかさをかんじながら
帰って来る事が出来ました
ありがとうございました
I thought driving would be difficult due to the distance, so I joined a bus tour! It was a great deal since they took us to various sightseeing spots. The meeting place at the Prefectural Office Square was easy to find and convenient.
At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see the whale shark up close, and I was very satisfied with the dolphin show as well! The little gifts of chin-suko and pineapple sherbet were a nice touch.
Unfortunately, the weather was not great for the views at Manzamo and Kouri Island, but I would like to participate in other tours with Veltra when I visit Okinawa again!
レンタカーを借りての移動は距離もあり運転も大変だと思い、バスツアーに参加!!色々な観光名所に連れて行ってもらえるのでお得なツアーでした。
集合場所の県庁前県民広場は、わかりやすく良かったです。
美ら海水族館では、ジンベイザメを間近で見る事ができ、そしてイルカショーも見て大満足でした!!
ちんすこうとパイナップルシャーベットのちょっぴりプレゼントは嬉しかったです。
万座毛と古宇利島での景色はあいにくのお天気だったので残念でしたが、また沖縄に行く時にはベルトラさんの他のツアーにも参加したいと思います!
There were some negative reviews, which made me a bit worried, but in reality, it wasn't like that at all. The staff were very pleasant!
However, riding the bicycle can be quite tiring (^^; There are many sandy areas that can get your tires stuck! I wonder if an electric bike or a water buffalo would have been better (´ω`;).
口コミに悪い意見もあり
少し心配していましたが
実際はそんなことなく
スタッフの方々も感じが良かったです!
ただ自転車結構疲れます(^^;
砂地が多くタイヤとられます!
電動や水牛の方が
よかったのかな〜とは
思いました(´ω`;)
The food was delicious, the ship was clean, and the staff's response was warm, which I thought was great. I requested a cruise for the day we arrived, but we couldn't make it due to traffic. I called several times, and while they provided guidance over the phone, the tone and attitude conveyed through their voice felt very intimidating. It was disappointing, as it felt like they were talking to a friend. Of course, it was our fault for not making it on time... Even though we were told to hurry through the traffic, we barely arrived on time, and when we got there, we were given a second opinion. We paid an additional fee and rescheduled for the next day. The experience was very satisfying, and we had a wonderful time. I would like them to provide larger notices regarding the meeting time. After 4 PM, the traffic becomes unmanageable, so I recommend acting early!
ご飯も美味しく、船内も綺麗で スタッフの方の対応も暖かく、よかったと思います。
到着したその日のクルーズをお願いしたのですが、渋滞で間に合いませんでした。 何度かお電話して頂き、電話での案内をしてくれたのですが、 言葉遣いや態度が声から伝わってきて、すごく怖かったです。 友達と話しているかのような対応で、残念でした。 もちろん時間に間に合わなかったのはこちらの原因ですが…
渋滞の中急げと言われても間に合わず、ギリギリ時間に着いたのですが、 着いた時にセカンドオピニオンを言われました。 プラス料金を払って 次の日にして頂きました。 内容は大満足。 とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
もう少し大きく、集合時間についての案内を書いて欲しいです。16時を過ぎると渋滞で動かなくなるので、お早めの行動をおすすめします!
I was able to smoothly enjoy the island-hopping tour. During the bus ride from Iriomote Island to the water buffalo cart boarding area, the driver's unique commentary was great, and the staff with the water buffalo cart entertained us with folk songs, making the trip enjoyable. Renting a bicycle to explore Taketomi Island allowed me to take it easy and go at my own pace, which was wonderful.
3島巡りをスムーズに観光する事が出来ました。
西表島から水牛車乗り場へのバス移動の際、運転手さんのユニークな案内も良かったし、水牛車の係りの方も民謡を聞かせてくださり、旅を盛り上げて頂き楽しく過ごす事ができました。
自転車を借りて竹富島巡りはのんびりと自分のペースで過ごせて良かったです。
I was amazed to see the underwater world from the boat. It was great to see the coral reefs and beautiful fish right in front of me. It's also safe for small children. I even saw a sea turtle. If you go to Okinawa, definitely visit this place; it will be an unforgettable experience.
船から海中が見れて驚きです。サンゴ礁やキレイな魚たちが目の前に見えて良かったです。小さい子供も大丈夫です。ウミガメも見えました。沖縄に行ったら是非行って下さい感動します。
I was worried that we might end up kayaking in the rain without being able to see the sunset, as it had been raining right up until the last moment. However, miraculously, the rain stopped, and the red sunset peeked through the gaps in the clouds!
Although the kayaking was somewhat challenging due to the waves, it was fun to paddle hard while cheering with my child. The staff who accompanied us took many great photos. Thank you very much!
直前まで雨が降っていたので、雨の中夕陽も見えずのシーカヤックになるかと不安でいましたが、奇跡的に雨も上がり雲の隙間から赤い夕陽が顔を出してくれました!
緩やかではありましたが波のある中でのカヤックはなかなか思い通りにいかず難しかったですが、子供と掛け声をかけながら一生懸命漕ぐのが楽しかったです。
同行して下さったスタッフの方が良い写真をたくさん撮って下さいました。ありがとうございました!!
Pineapple Park was more like an amusement park than I had imagined. I was expecting just a simple pineapple field. It's better to think of it as geared towards children.
パイナップルパークは遊園地化されていたので想像と違っていた。
単なるパイナップル畑を想像してました。
子供向けと考えた方が良いです。

Since I was traveling with my elderly grandparents, I was looking for a tour-type island-hopping experience rather than going individually. I was able to enjoy Taketomi Island, which I was most looking forward to, and I was also satisfied with visiting Iriomote Island and Yubu Island together. The weather wasn't very good, but the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo were impressive. While I can't say it was completely relaxing, I was able to spend a fulfilling day at a relatively leisurely pace. I'm glad I allocated a longer time for Taketomi Island.
高齢の祖父母も一緒の旅行でしたので、個人ではなくツアータイプの離島めぐりを探していました。
一番期待していた竹富島も楽しめましたし、西表島と由布島も一緒に行けて満足できました。
天候はあまりよくなかったのですが、マングローブクルーズと水牛が印象的でした。
のんびりゆっくり…とは言い切れませんが、それなりにゆっくりしながら充実した一日を過ごせました。竹富島は長めの時間にしておいてよかったです。
I’m not good at deciding on courses myself, so I decided to ask for help here.
Everything went smoothly and on time, and I was able to enjoy myself without any worries like, “Is this the right destination?”
The bus driver on Iriomote Island was the best. The lunch on Yubu Island was delicious. On Taketomi Island, I chose the bus tour and water buffalo ride. There were times when I thought, “Wait, we’re leaving already? I want to stay here a little longer…” but it was a great day packed into about 9 hours.
I definitely want to ask for help again!
自分でコースを決めるのが苦手なので、こちらでお願いすることにしました。
時間通りに、スムーズに活動でき、「行き先はここかな?」等という不安なく、安心して楽しむことができました。
西表島のバスの運転手さん、最高でした。由布島のランチ、美味しかったです。竹富島では、バス観光&水牛を選択しました。え?もう出発?もう少しここにいたいな…という時もありましたが、約9時間の中に、ぎゅぎゅっと詰まった良い1日でした。
是非またお願いしたいと思います!
The tour was very convenient for us to take since they offer pickup and drop services from well known hotels. If you do not have your own rental car and only have about a day or two to explore the city, I would say this tour is your best bet. There are other operators that pick you up from the airport, but if you are living up north in one of the secluded beach resorts then this option works very well since you don't have to go back and forth into the city.
The guide spoke Japanese but also had English translation. We could not follow the translation much but the views make up for it all.
Time wise, we found 150 minutes good enough for Churaumi Aquarium but I would have liked to stay at the Kouri beach for a little longer. Then again it is a personal choice since I am a fan of white sand beaches. Other than the Charaumi Aquarium, I felt it was more about going from point A to B to C rather than savouring A, B and C. Having said that, this tour did introduce me to some of the amazing places in Okinawa. I spent half of next day at Kouri beach to sink in it's beauty completely.
It was a day when I read that it was a bit difficult to see the fish, but it was really beautiful. Since there is a distance to the open sea, it's better to bring a light jacket, and I think those who are prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication.
少しお魚が見づらいと書いてた日でしたが、すごく綺麗でした。
沖まで距離があるので、一枚羽織りを持ってたほうがいいなと、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必要だと思います。
Although the weather was bad with rain and winds at 10 m/s, the boat ride was smooth and there were no issues. I was able to closely observe the mangroves unique to the Yaeyama Islands from a well-equipped boat designed for rain protection. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, a scene familiar from television, and it was enjoyable as a guest. On Yubu Island, the sight of the largest butterfly in Japan, the Papilio garamas, fluttering around was elegant and beautiful! The mangrove walking path is also well-maintained.
On Taketomi Island, I leisurely enjoyed my time exploring the Okinawan village by water buffalo cart and on foot. I returned to Ishigaki Island at 4:15 PM and took a photo with Yoshitaka Gushiken—what a thrill! The popular tour had a well-organized schedule, which was reassuring. It was unfortunate about the unpredictable weather. Lunch was somewhat disappointing compared to the delicious meal from the previous day. It would have been perfect if there had been more choices.
雨混じりで10m風速で悪天候であったが、ボートでの移動も揺れ少なく、
問題なかった。八重山諸島特有のマングローブも雨対策の完備したボートで
近くで観察できた。テレビでお馴染みの由布島への水牛車風景巡りであったが
お客主賓で楽しかった。由布島では日本で最も大きい蝶、オオゴマダラが飛び交う姿は、優雅で美しい!マングローブ遊歩道も整備されている。
竹富島では沖縄集落を水牛車と徒歩散策でゆったり時間を楽しんだ。
石垣島へ帰ったのが4時15分、具志堅用高と写真を撮り万歳!
人気のあるツアーで手慣れたスケジュールは安心できる。
天候不順は残念。昼食は前日美味しい食事だったので、やや不満足でした。
もっとチョイスが出来れば満点。
I received a message the day before that the SUP at Kabira Bay could not be conducted due to strong winds. As an alternative, they suggested doing SUP in the mangroves. Since it was a great opportunity, I decided to participate.
I was very anxious as it was my first time doing SUP, but the staff were very kind and taught me gently. At first, there was a simple explanation on land, and then we got right into practice. They taught me while I was actually on the board, and somehow I managed to stand up. I was worried about falling, but I was able to finish without falling!!
It was so much fun lying down and sitting on the board!! During the session, when I talked to the staff about places I wanted to visit, they kindly stopped by on the way back. They also recommended some shops.
In the car on the way back, they shared photos with everyone, which made everything very smooth. It was really great!!
前日に連絡があり、川平湾でのsupが強風の為に実施出来ないとの事でした。
代替え案としてマングローブでのsupなら実施出来ると提案して頂きました。
せっかくならと参加させて頂きました。
初めてのsupでとても不安だったのですが、スタッフの方がとても親切で優しく教えて下さいました。
最初は陸で簡単な説明があり、すぐに実践でした。
実際に乗りながら教えてもらい、なんとか立つ事が出来ました。
落ちるか不安でしたが落ちる事なく終える事が出来ました!!
ボードの上に寝転んだり座ったりしてとても楽しかったです!!
途中でスタッフの方と行きたいお店の話をしたら帰りに寄って下さいました。オススメの店なども教えてくれました。
帰りの車内で写真もみんなに共有して下さり、とてもスムーズでした。
とても良かったです!!
The weather wasn't very good, which was disappointing, but it was an easy tour. I would like to try going in the summer next time. I want to choose a plan with a bit more activities next time.
天気があまり良くなく残念なところもあったが手軽なツアーでした。次回は夏に行ってみたい。次回はもう少しアクティビティーの高いプランを選んでみたい
I experienced shower climbing and canyoning for the first time. I was able to enjoy many thrilling moments that I usually can't experience, and it became a great memory. The staff member in charge was friendly and kind, so even though I participated alone, I had a lot of fun. I definitely want to use this service again. Thank you very much.
シャワークライニングとキャニオニングを初めて体験しました。普段味わうことができないような沢山のドキドキを体験をすることができて良い思い出になりました。担当のお兄さんもフレンドリーで親切だったので一人での参加でしたが、とても楽しかったです。また是非利用させて頂きたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for your review, Hiko!
I’m Kizawa, and I was in charge of the tour!
We had a great time on the tour, didn’t we?
Please do your best with your studies after returning from Okinawa!
I’m looking forward to hearing good news from you!
Please come again!
Thank you!!!
ひーこさん口コミ投稿ありがとうございます(^^)/

沖縄から帰ったら勉強頑張ってくださいね?( `ー´)ノ
いい報告待ってまーす(^^♪
また来てください!
ありがとうございました!!!
I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time with my daughters, who are in 7th and 4th grade! On the day of our adventure, the weather was bad, with waves, wind, and rain, making it difficult to reach our destination no matter how hard we paddled (laughs). However, the staff helped us by connecting and pulling us along, and they took a lot of photos, allowing us to have a truly enjoyable time! Despite the tough conditions, my 4th grader was able to stand on the board!
After the experience, we returned to the beach and had some natural photos taken of us playing in the ocean together, creating so many wonderful memories! Thank you very much!☆
はじめてのSUPに、中1と小4の娘と挑戦してきました!
当日は、天候も悪く、波.風.雨の三拍子で、漕いでも漕いでも目標地点にたどり着けずでした(笑)
でも、スタッフの方が繋いで引っ張ってくれたり、写真を沢山撮ってくれたり、ホントに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました!!
そんな悪状況な中、小4娘もボードの上に立つこともできましたよ!
体験後、ビーチに戻って親子で海であばれている自然な写真も撮っていただき、本当に沢山思い出が残りました!!
ありがとうございました☆
My husband and I participated together! On the day, we were the only customers, so we received one-on-one instruction, which was very thorough! The guide was really great, friendly, and funny, which made our time very enjoyable until the end! It had rained the day before, so there were a few more clouds, but the sun peeked through at precious moments! It was moving...!! Being rocked by the waves while kayaking felt wonderful... I was very satisfied (*^^*)
夫と2人で参加しました!当日は私達しかお客さんがおらず、マンツーマンで丁寧に教えてくれました!とにかくガイドのお兄さんのキャラが良くて、親しみやすくて面白い方でしたお陰で最後までとても楽しい時間を過ごせました!雨の降る前日だったこともあり、少し雲が多めでしたが、貴重な隙間をぬって太陽がひょっこり!感動的でした…!!カヤックで波に揺られるのも気持ち良くて…大満足です(*^^*)
I thought it would be a tough day since it was a tour of Mishima, but I was able to enjoy it leisurely! Even though it was just one day, it turned out to be a meaningful day with so much to see.
三島巡りだったのでハードだと思いましたがゆったりと満喫できました!一日でありますがこれだけ回れ有意義な日になりました。
The weather was great on the day of the trip, making it a wonderful journey. The shuttle service was shared with other groups, but the staff was efficient, and I had no complaints. The tour started and ended in Ishigaki Island, visiting Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it had a well-organized schedule that allowed us to fully enjoy the islands. If I had gone on my own, I wouldn't have been able to cover so much in one day. I look forward to using Veltra again for my next enjoyable trip.
当日は天気が良く素晴らしい旅になりました。
送迎はほかの団体客と同乗でしたが担当者さんはキビキビしていて別段不満はなかったです。
石垣島発着で西表島、由布島、竹富島を周遊するツアーでしたが、ツアーならではの無駄のないスケジュールで離島を満喫しました。
個人で行ったらこんなに効率的に回れず1日で周るのは無理でした。
また次回もベルトラを利用して楽しい旅をしたいと思います。
I was with another group, but the guide was very skilled in attending to us, and we all enjoyed ourselves. The scenery was unlike anything you would find in Honshu, and there was a slow, relaxing atmosphere. I felt completely refreshed, soaking in the negative ions.
別のグループと一緒だったのですが、ガイドさんがとても上手にアテンドしてくれて、お互い楽しめました。
本州ではありえないような景色と、ゆっくりとした空気が流れていて、マイナスイオン浴びてとってもリフレッシュできました。
Thank you for participating in the kayak tour. It seems you were moved by the scenery that can only be experienced in Okinawa. We're also glad to hear that you were able to refresh both your mind and body. We look forward to seeing you again on another occasion!
カヤックツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。
沖縄でしか味わうことのできない景色に感動されたようですね。
心も体もリフレッシュできたようでこちらも嬉しく思います。
またの機会にお待ちしております!
Our resort hotel was on the northern side, quite inaccessible and we did not rent a car as well.
This tour enabled us to see (and taste) the best of Okinawa within just a day. As an added bonus, it was a great experience that started and ended punctually. Our guide was great and helped get the tour bus to drop us right at our hotel.
Highly recommend this to future participants!
I used the service on a beautifully clear day in November. The day before was cloudy with strong winds, but the wind lingered, so our kayaking plan at Kabira Bay was changed to a mangrove watch and kayak at Miyahira River. My friend, who had no interest in mangroves at all, was feeling down about the change.
However, once we actually got into the kayak, I understood why the change was made. While there was quite a strong wind around us, the river felt completely calm, as if it was protected by the mangrove forest. This was impressive! My friend, who was anxious because they couldn't swim, seemed to relax and genuinely enjoy the experience.
I had seen mangrove forests a few times before, but the view from the kayak, just above the water's surface, was completely different. The strength of the mangroves stretching overhead captivated my friend as well. Additionally, we were able to see many rare birds, which was a big plus. I was surprised when a natural monument, the crested serpent eagle, appeared right at the start. Our guide was very sharp! We also heard various stories about different birds and plants, as well as local anecdotes, making the two hours fly by.
My friend, who had always thought of Okinawa as just the sea, showed interest in rivers and mangrove forests and even mentioned wanting to visit Iriomote Island, all thanks to this wonderful tour. I'm also interested in trying SUP and kayaking at Kabira Bay, so I definitely want to use this service again.
11月の良く晴れた日に利用しました。前日は一日曇天で風が強かったのですが、風が残ってしまい川平湾でのカヤックの予定が宮平川でのマングローブウォッチ・カヤックにスケジュール変更に。マングローブに全く興味のない友人はテンション下がってました。
当日、実際にカヤックに乗ってみて変更になったのも納得。周囲は結構強い風が吹いているのに川はマングローブ林に守られているかのように無風。この読みはさすがです!実は泳げなくて不安がってた友人も安心して純粋に楽しめたよう。
マングローブ林は何度か見たことがあったけど、水面すれすれのカヤックから見る眺めは全然違います。覆いかぶさるように伸びるマングローブの力強さ、友人もすっかり魅了されていました。そして珍しい鳥が沢山見れたのもポイント高かったです。スタートしていきなり天然記念物のカンムリワシが姿を見せたのには驚きました。ガイドさん、目聡い!!他にもいろんな鳥や植物の話や地元の裏話も聞かせて頂いてあっという間の2時間でした。
これまで沖縄といえば海!だった友人が川やマングローブ林に興味を示して西表島にも行ってみたい、なんて言いだしたのもこのツアーが素晴らしかったからですね。川平湾でのSUPやカヤックも気になっているので是非また利用したいと思います。
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour around Mishima. I was picked up from the hotel in the morning and finished around 4 PM, after which I was taken back to the hotel. It was a great value tour since you can enjoy a full day. My day in Ishigaki was filled with a sense of fulfillment.
三島めぐりをしっかり楽しめました。朝からホテル迎えで、4時すぎに終了してホテルまで送ってもらいました。1日たっぷり楽しめるのでお得なツアーでした。石垣島の
1日は、充実感でいっぱいです
Canoeing was of course fun, and it was very helpful that they answered any questions I had! Thank you for the valuable experience!
カヌーももちろん楽しかったですし、なにを聞いても質問に答えてくれてとってもためになりました!貴重な体験をありがとうございました!
Thank you for participating in the tour. It seems that the guide was also satisfied. I hope this becomes one of your memories from your trip to Okinawa. Please feel free to visit us again if you have the opportunity!
ツアーのご参加ありがとうございました。
ガイドも満足していただけたようですね。
沖縄旅行の思い出の一つになれば幸いです。
また機会がありましたら遊びに来てくださいね!
The weather in November on the Sakishima Islands is just perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. My elderly mother was able to enjoy it without any strain. The water buffalo are very cute and reliable. It was clear that the staff really cares for the water buffalo.
天候に恵まれての11月の先島は暑すぎず寒すぎずとてもいいですね。高齢の母も無理なく楽しめました。水牛 とても可愛くて頼もしいですねスタッフがとても水牛たちを大事にしていることが伺えました。
I enjoyed the tour where we could visit many places in one day. It might be a bit hard for those with small children.
I recommend it for those who want to go to the Churaumi Aquarium but find it difficult to rent a car.
I opted for lunch on the day of the tour, but due to time constraints, we couldn't choose from the menu; we had to eat what was already prepared when we arrived.
1日でたくさんまわれるツアーで楽しめました。小さなお子さん連れには少しハードかもしれません。
クルマを借りるのが難しいけど美ら海水族館に行きたい方にはおすすめです。
当日昼食ありにしましたが、時間の都合上メニューは選べず着いたら既に用意されているものを食べるというスタイルでした。
I was able to visit the desired sightseeing spots, but the time spent at each location felt very short, and there was a lot of time spent walking around, giving the impression of a rushed tour. I was a bit disappointed with the guide's lack of friendliness.
まわりたい観光地はまわれたが、各所の散策時間がとても短く感じ、歩き回る時間も多く、常にばたばたしたツアーだった印象。
ガイドさんの愛想が足りなくて少し残念だった。
