All Reviews for 沖繩活動

Although the typhoon came and we couldn't enter the Blue Cave, they thought of ways to make sure we still had fun. It was really good that we had made a reservation since swimming was prohibited everywhere.

台風がきて青の洞窟には入れませんでしたが、何とか楽しませようと考えてくださいました。
どこも遊泳禁止だったので本当に予約していて良かったです。

It was a very meaningful course that allowed us to effectively explore the attractions in northern Okinawa. I believe the main highlight, the Ocean Expo Park (Churaumi Aquarium), is a place that will leave lasting memories. However, since the park is quite large, if you want to include lunch time (3 hours of park stay), you might run out of time. It would be even better if there were options to distribute bento boxes during the bus travel time so that lunch can be accommodated. Additionally, the Busena Marine Observatory and American Village were more wonderful than I had imagined, so I think they are definitely worth visiting at least once.

沖縄北部の名所を効果的に巡る事が出来るとても有意義なコースでした。
メインの海洋博公園（美ら海水族館）はとても思い出に残る場所だと思いますが、敷地がとても広いため公園滞在時間（3時間）内にランチ時間も確保すると時間が足りなくなってしまうので、バスでの移動時間内にランチが取れる様にお弁当を配布するなどのオプションがあると尚良いと思います。
またブセナ海中展望塔とアメリカンビレッジは想像していた以上に素敵でしたので、是非一度は巡ってみる価値のある名所だと思いました。

My 8-year-old son and I participated in a snorkeling tour starting at 3:30 PM. We were able to see a lot of fish on our way to the Blue Cave. The underwater scenery was beautiful and it was really great! Perhaps because it was late, the water inside the cave was a bit murky, but we were able to see a large school of juvenile fish, and the blue was stunning.

The guide took many photos for us and allowed us to feed the fish a lot. They also sent us the photo data on the same day, and considering everything included, this price is fantastic! My mother was exhausted, but I would like to try going early in the morning next time.

8歳の息子と二人で15:30からのシュノーケルに参加しました。青の洞窟にたどり着くまでに、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました。水中もキレイでとても良かったです！時間が遅かったせいか洞窟内水中は濁り気味でしたが、稚魚の大群が見れたり、ブルーがキレイでした。
ガイドさんが写真もたくさん撮ってくれますし、餌付けもたくさんさせてくれました。写真データも当日送ってくれ、全部込みでこの料金は最高です(^-^)
母はクタクタになりましたが、今度は早朝に行ってみたいと思っています。

I participated in a beach day at Kondoi Beach. Since it was an afternoon tour, the return ferry was at 4 or 5 PM, so we only had a little over an hour at the beach, but it was nice to experience the sandy shore. The sun was strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a mini tent or something similar, even though it adds to your luggage.

コンドイビーチでの海水浴目的に参加。
午後からのツアーなので帰りのフェリー16時か17時なのでビーチの滞在時間は一時間強でしたが砂浜も経験出来たのでよかったです。
日差しが強いので荷物になるけどミニテントなど持っていくと良いかも。

Due to the typhoon, I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, which I was really looking forward to, but I was able to participate in sea kayaking and snorkeling. They taught me how to kayak carefully, and I had a great time. I could really feel the staff's desire to make sure we had fun, even more than if we had gone to the Blue Cave, and it made me really happy. I will definitely try to go back to the Blue Cave again! I hope to see Hamachan and Q-chan then too!

台風の影響で楽しみにしていた青の洞窟には行けなかったのですがシーカヤックとシュノーケリングは出来るとのことで参加させて頂きました。初めてのシーカヤックも丁寧に教えた頂き楽しめました。青の洞窟に行けない分以上に工夫を凝らして楽しませてあげたいというスタッフの気持ちが伝わってきて本当に嬉しかったです。また青の洞窟リベンジします❗️その時もハマちゃんＱちゃん宜しくお願いします‼️

I suddenly had a day off, so I decided to try diving for the first time by myself. The shop had beautiful paintings and books displayed, which made the waiting time quite relaxing. During practice, I was nervous and struggled to take deep breaths, but since I was the only participant, I received one-on-one instruction and was able to dive calmly.

They took a lot of photos for me, and not only could I download them to my phone the same day, but I was also thrilled to receive a CD-ROM. Thanks to that, I could quickly show off the pictures to my friends! I had the best first diving experience, getting to feed fish and see the beautiful bubble rings created by the instructor.

At the end, I even received a business card with a message, and I felt really fortunate to have experienced such a kind shop. If I get another day off, I would love to participate in diving here again!

急遽休みがとれたので、１人で初ダイビングに挑戦しました。
ショップにはキレイな絵や本が並べられており待ち時間も癒されました。
練習の時は緊張して、深い呼吸が出来ず焦っていたのですが、１人参加だったのでマンツーマンで丁寧に教えてもらえ、落ち着いて潜ることが出来ました。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえるし、その日のうちに携帯でダウンロードが出来るだけではなく、CD-ROMまで頂けて嬉しかったです。お陰で、すぐに友達に写真を見せて自慢することが出来ました！
魚の餌やり体験やインストラクターの方が作るキレイなバブルリングを見ることが出来て最高の初ダイビングになりました。
最後にはメッセージ付きの名刺まで頂けて、凄く親切なショップで体験できて本当に良かったなと思います。
また休みがとれたら、こちらでダイビングに参加したいと思います♪

I wanted to visit the Blue Cave, so I researched various tours and chose this one.

The cave itself was crowded, but I was able to see the beautiful blue water! After exiting the cave, I enjoyed snorkeling, feeding the fish, and observing the underwater life, fully experiencing the ocean in Okinawa.

I was also happy that they took photos during the tour, and there were spaces in the shop for showers and touching up makeup (＾＾).

青の洞窟に行ってみたくて色んなツアーを調べてここにしました。

お目当ての洞窟内は人がいっぱいでしたが、きれいなブルーを見ることが出来ました！
洞窟を出てからは、シュノーケルをしながら魚に餌付けをしたり海の中を観察したりして沖縄の海を満喫出来ました。

ツアー中に写真を撮ってくれたり、ショップ内にはシャワーやお化粧を直せるスペースがあったので嬉しかったです(＾＾)

The approach of the typhoon raised concerns about the departure, but the visibility conditions and the stability of the boat were displayed at the reception in advance, allowing us to board with peace of mind.
We arrived at the spot quickly from Naha Port and were able to enjoy the underwater scenery at a leisurely pace, with many fish coming close, likely due to feeding, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
On our way back, my husband and I talked about wanting to bring our grandchild next time!

台風接近で出航が危ぶまれましたが、事前に透明度の状況と船体の揺れ状況が受付へ表示されており安心して乗船することができました。
那覇港からすぐにスポットへ到着しゆっくり水中観賞でき、餌付けされているのか沢山の魚が寄ってきて十分に堪能することができました。
次は、孫を連れて来たいね！と夫婦で話して帰りました。

The staff were very kind and helpful. It took less than 5 minutes by car from the store to the boat dock, and we quickly arrived at the blue cave snorkeling point from the boat. I was able to enjoy snorkeling without any stress.

スタッフの方々の対応がとても親切で良かった。
店舗からボート乗り場まで
車で5分もかからず到着し
ボートから青の洞窟のポイントまでもすぐに到着。
ストレスなくシュノーケルを楽しむことが出来ました。

I was attracted to the tour that allows you to efficiently visit spots even without a car, so I signed up.

It was stated that we would spend two and a half hours at the Churaumi Aquarium, but in reality, it was less than two hours from getting off the bus to returning to it. We all moved together from the bus drop-off to the aquarium.

Since we were guided to have lunch at the Churaumi Aquarium, I think we only had about an hour to actually see the aquarium after deducting that time. At other spots, we spent about 20 minutes. Considering the time to return to the bus, it was really hectic and busy.

One point of concern was that the map posted inside the bus marked places that were not included in the tour, and the route guide set at the seats was for a different course, which made me anxious, wondering if I had mistakenly signed up for the wrong tour or if I had gotten on the wrong bus.

Also, I was surprised that the guide often read from a book while facing away from the customers. I think it would have left a better impression if they had guided us in their own words, even if it wasn't a long explanation.

I didn't feel a sense of fun, but I am satisfied. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try other courses as well.

車がなくても、回りたいスポットを効率よく回れるツアーに惹かれて申し込みました。
美ら海水族館は2時間半と書かれていましたが、実際はバス降車からバスに戻るまでで2時間弱くらい。バス降車から水族館までは全員で移動しました。
美ら海水族館で昼食をとるよう案内されたので、その時間を差し引くと、水族館を見れたのは1時間くらいだったかなと思います。
他のスポットでは20分くらい。バスに戻る時間を考えると、本当にバタバタで忙しかったです。
気になった点は、車内に貼られている地図に該当ツアーでは回らないところがマークされていたり、座席にセットされていたルート案内が別のコースのもので、「間違って申し込んだのか」「違うバスに乗ってしまったのか」と不安になりました。
そして、ガイドさんがよくお客さんに背中を向けた状態で、本を読み上げてガイドしていたのが意外でした。
長文でなくても良いので、ご自身の言葉でガイドして下さった方が印象に残りやすかったなと思います。
楽しい～という感覚はなかったけど、満足です。
また機会があれば他のコースも利用したいと思います。

The entire itinerary was efficient. It was great to understand the charm of Mishima in a compact way. The water buffalo was cute, and the children were very happy. It was a good experience. Everything was excellent except for the response from the man at the rental bicycle reception.

Regarding the rental bicycles, there were many participants, and I couldn't go to the front due to taking care of the children. Perhaps there was a timing issue with handing out tickets that I missed. When it was my turn, I couldn't present my ticket at their timing, and I was asked for the ticket in a frustrated manner. I was also dazed from the heat, so I didn't feel like arguing, but later I felt anger rising.

If that man, who didn't seem like a local at all, hadn't been there, my overall rating would have been a 5. Because of that man, my overall rating is a 3.

全ての行程がテキパキとしていた。
コンパクトに三島の良さがわかったのはよかつた。水牛はかわいかった。子供がとっても喜んでいた。いい体験ができた。
レンタサイクルの受付の男の対応以外は全て◎。
レンタサイクルについて。参加者が多く、子供の世話で前の方にも行けず、その間にチケットを渡すタイミングの話があったのかもしれないが、聞きそびれた。その後、自分の番になって、向こうのタイミングでチケッもが出せなかったからか、イライラした感じで、チケット出してください、と言われた。こっちも暑さで朦朧としてたから、戦う気が起きなかったが、後から怒りが湧いてきた。
全然地元民でもなさそうなあの男がいなければ、全体評価は5。
あの男がいたから全体評価は3。

I participated in a tour because I wanted to ride a water buffalo. In Iriomote Island, I took a mangrove cruise. On Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo across about 300 meters of sea, enjoyed a lunch bento inside, and appreciated the bougainvillea and butterfly garden. On Taketomi Island, I also rode a water buffalo and was guided slowly and leisurely around the town. The transportation was easy, whether by boat, bus, or water buffalo. During the water buffalo ride, it was nice that the guide sang with a sanshin. This tour, surrounded by subtropical nature, is highly recommended for a full day plan as it allows you to thoroughly enjoy the islands at a relaxed pace.

水牛に乗りたくてツアー参加しました。
西表島はマングローブクルーズに乗船。
由布島は水牛に乗って海を300mくらい渡り、中で昼食のお弁当を食べて、ブーゲンビリアや蝶園を楽しみました。
竹富島でも水牛に乗って町内をゆっくりのんびりガイドしてもらいました。
移動は船かバス、水牛なので楽です。
水牛乗車中は、ガイドさんが三線で歌を歌ってくれるのが良かったです。
亜熱帯や自然に囲まれたツアーで、一日プランだとゆっくり&しっかり島を堪能できるので、オススメです。

This was a place I had wanted to visit but had given up on because I couldn't drive. First, we headed straight to Cape Hedo! We set off leisurely while listening to the audio guide. I was a bit anxious about the bus not having a restroom, but there were plenty of bathroom breaks, and I found myself arriving after dozing off ( ˘ω˘ ). It was a bit disappointing that it was somewhat cloudy...

At my main spot, Daichi Forest Mountain, I took a shortcut from the barrier-free course to the Churaumi Panorama Course and was able to fully enjoy the Yanbaru Forest Course up to the Gajumaru tree. I was close to others who were on the same tour until midway through the panorama course, but we were spaced out enough that I could take my time with photos. Colorful butterflies were fluttering around, creating a tropical atmosphere, and while I admired the Gajumaru tree, I enjoyed a mystical space all to myself without encountering anyone.

Since time was limited, I had to rush a bit, so I thought it would have been nice to have a longer stay. This was my third visit to the Churaumi Aquarium, so after seeing the whale shark, I explored the Tropical Dream Center. It was so hot that I gave up on the Okichan Theater and went back to see the whale shark one more time, and before I knew it, it was time to gather again.

Since it was a bus tour, I could comfortably sleep both ways, which made it much easier on my body. I would like to rely on this tour again the next time I go to Okinawa. It's a recommended tour for those who can drive as well, since it covers quite a distance.

行ってみたいと思いながらも運転出来ないため諦めていた場所でした。
まずは一気に辺戸岬へ！音声ガイドを聞きながらのんびり出発。バスにトイレがないのが不安でしたがトイレ休憩もしっかりあり、うたた寝している間に到着していました( ˘ω˘ )
やや曇り気味だったのが残念…。
私にとってのメインスポット大石林山ではバリアフリーコースからショートカットして美ら海パノラマコースへ入り、やんばる森林コースの御願ガジュマルまでしっかりみることが出来ました。
同じツアーに参加していた方達とはパノラマコースの途中までは近くにいましたが適度に離れていたため、ゆっくり写真も撮れました。鮮やかな色の蝶が舞っていて南国感満載の中、ガジュマルをみる間は誰にも会わず神秘的な空間を貸切状態で満喫出来ました。
時間が限られていたため急ぎ足で周ることになったので、もう少し滞在時間が長くてもいいなと思いました。
美ら海水族館は3回目だったのでジンベイザメをみた後に熱帯ドリームセンターを周りました。
あまりに暑くてオキちゃん劇場は諦めて最後にもう一度ジンベイザメをみて、あっという間に集合時間になりました。
バスツアーなので行きも帰りも気兼ねなく寝ることが出来、だいぶ身体が楽でした。
次回沖縄に行く時はまたお世話になりたいと思います。
かなりの距離を移動するので運転出来る人にもオススメのツアーです。

It was the first snorkeling experience for my 4-year-old and 7-year-old children. The 4-year-old had only been swimming for two months, but the instructor was very kind and taught them patiently, allowing them to enjoy it without fear. Throughout the session, the instructor constantly encouraged them, which made us parents feel at ease leaving our 4-year-old in their care.

Once we entered the sea, the children were captivated and chased after the fish, and even after it was over, they were saying, "I want to do it again soon!!" They are really looking forward to the next time.

Thank you so much! By the way, we practiced looking into the water with masks in the shallow area the day before.

4歳と7歳の子どもたちにとっては初めてのシュノーケル。4歳の子はスイミングを始めて2ヶ月でしたが、インストラクターさんがとても優しく丁寧に教えて下さり、怖がることなく楽しめました。途中でも常に声かけをして下さり、4歳の子を任せて、親の私達も安心でした。
海に入ると子どもたちは魚たちにもう夢中で追いかけ、終わってからも「またすぐにしたい！！」と次回をとても楽しみにしています。

本当にありがとうございました！
因みに前日に浅瀬でマスクをつけて海の中を覗く練習をして行きました。

Each group had one staff member assigned to them, and the explanations and guidance were polite and easy to understand, which was great. Having photos included was also appreciated! The sea was beautiful, and cute fish came close, making for wonderful memories.

1組に1名のスタッフが付いてくれて、説明や案内も丁寧で分かりやすくて良かったです。写真付きというのはありがたいですね！
海も綺麗だし、可愛い魚が近くまで寄ってきて、いい思い出になりました。

We are a Family traveling with two young kids. We had a great time going from site to site and then finally to the Aquarium. Pineapple Park and the Butterfly Garden were both hits with the kids. Aquarium was incredible.

Tour guide speaks Japanese only. Guide ensures non-Japanese speakers have audio guides. Audio guides are okay.

I participated with my parents and a friend. We rode on a water buffalo cart while listening to songs and explanations, enjoying views of local houses, shisa, and tropical flowers, which was very relaxing. The water buffalo cart was more crowded than I had imagined, so it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't see anything on the opposite side. It felt like a water buffalo cart traffic jam, but since it's a popular tourist attraction, it can't be helped. I was glad that we could choose the time for the boat, allowing us to visit Taketomi Island during our short stay in Ishigaki Island.

両親とツレとの4人参加。水牛車に乗って歌や解説を聴きながら民家とシーサーや南国の花を眺めることができ、のんびり癒されました。水牛車は想像していたより大人数が詰めて座るので反対側の外側は全く見えないのが少し残念でした。水牛車渋滞という感じでしたが、人気の観光なので仕方ないですね(^^)。船の時間を選べることができたので、石垣島の短い滞在時間に竹富島も観光できてよかったです。

I had a great time participating in a sightseeing tour for the first time and visiting various places. I was happy to receive a notification from the guide about what time the dolphin show would be at the Churaumi Aquarium. The weather was nice, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable tour even by myself!

初めて観光ツアーに参加して色々な所を回れて楽しかったです
美ら海水族館に着く前にガイドさんからイルカのショーは何時のが見れますよというお知らせがあったのは嬉しかったです✨
天気も良くて、一人でも凄く楽しいツアーになりました❗

There were multiple ships to board, and I had a hard time figuring it out, which made me late for the meeting time and caused inconvenience to everyone. The ship was unusually rocky (according to the captain), and I couldn't enjoy the sightseeing due to seasickness. It's a shame. I was hoping to see the Iriomote cat, but unfortunately, I didn't. The glass-bottom boat was very impressive.

乗船する船が複数あって中々分からず、集合時間などに遅れて皆さんに迷惑をかけてしまいました。
船が珍しく揺れて（船長さん曰く）船酔いで観光どころではなかった。残念です。イリオモテヤマネコを期待したがやはり見れなかった。グラスボードはとても感動しました。

I had to cancel unexpectedly two days prior due to circumstances, but they quickly processed the cancellation. However, when my situation changed again and I inquired the day before if the same course was available, they promptly coordinated with the local office and Veltra, and within just a few minutes, I was able to complete the payment. Thanks to that, I was able to participate as planned and create wonderful memories.

The course content included all the requests from me and my companion, so we were very satisfied. The announcements for those who didn't understand Japanese were well thought out, and no one made a mistake at the meeting point; everyone was punctual, making it a great trip.

Lastly, the guide surprised us with a song, which was very touching and reminiscent of Okinawa. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

事情があって前々日に急遽キャンセルを申し出ましたが、迅速に手続きを進めてくださいました。ところがまた事情がかわり再び同じコースが予約可能か前日に問い合わせしたところ
すぐに現地事務所の方ととveltraさんで連携取ってくださり、ものの数分で決済までしていただけました。お陰様で予定通り参加でき楽しい思い出を作ることができました。
コース内容は自分と連れの要望が全部入っていましたのでとても満足でした。日本語のわからない人たちへのアナウンスも工夫されており、集合場所は誰一人間違わず、また全員時間厳守でとてもいい旅となりました。
最後にガイドさんから歌のプレゼントがありましたが、沖縄らしくてジーンときちゃいました。いい思い出をありがとうございました。

I arrived a bit early, but they kindly guided me. Furthermore, the Blue Cave happened to be empty, so I had a great time. Feeding the fish was fun, and having my fingers nibbled by them is a good memory, haha. I would like to join again when I visit Okinawa.

少し早めに着いてしまったのですが、
快く案内してくれました。
さらには、青の洞窟は偶然貸切状態だったので、
すごく楽しめました。
餌やりも楽しく、魚に指を食べられたことも、
良い思い出です笑
また沖縄に行った際に参加したいです。

I was very impressed by how nice the guide was. I chose this tour because it was affordable, and I'm really glad I did.

ガイドさんの感じの良さに、とても感動しました。
値段が安くて、こちらのツアーを選んだのですが、ここで本当に良かったです。

It was a short 30-minute water buffalo cart ride, but it was better than I expected. I think this price, including the boat fare, is quite reasonable.

The water buffalo is cute and smart.

30分と短い水牛車でしたが、思ってたより良かったです。
船代付きでこのお値段はお安いと思います。

水牛は可愛いし、かしこいです。

I was worried that the meeting times would be lax since there were many foreign tourists. However, the guide emphasized punctuality and mentioned that the bus would leave anyone who was late behind (though I doubt they would actually do that), so we departed on time.

Both the guide and the driver were kind, which was great. My child stuck close to the guide while walking to the aquarium (laughs). We had a wonderful time!

外国人の方々が多く、先々の集合時間がダラダラしそうだなぁーと思ってましたが。
ガイドさんが時間厳守と言って、バスは遅れてくる人は置いていくと〔おいてはいかないだろうけど〕
注意してたので時間通りの出発でした

ガイドさんも運転士さんも優しい方でよかったです
うちの子は水族館に歩いて向かう時、ガイドさんにずっとくっついてました（笑）
すごくたのしめました

Due to the waves, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we went snorkeling at a nearby beach. To make the most of the day, we joined at 7 AM. It was just us, and the sea was almost empty. The guide took us to several spots with lots of fish, so we got to swim a lot (the day before, when I went snorkeling with another company, I mostly just floated). We were able to feed the fish and learned about them, which was really enjoyable. If we had more time, I would have loved to swim even more, and I definitely want to try the Blue Cave again. The guide was fantastic and made it a lot of fun! As long as you have a swimsuit, they provide everything else, which is very convenient.

うねりの影響で青の洞窟には行けず、近くのビーチでシュノーケルしました。1日を有効に使うため、朝7時から参加。私達だけでしたし、海も貸し切り状態でした。魚がたくさんいるポイントへいくつか案内してくれたので、たくさん泳げたし(前日に別の会社でシュノーケルした時はほぼ浮いてただけでしたので)、餌付けをしたり、魚の説明をして下さったり、とても楽しめました。時間があればもっと泳いでいたかったし、是非、青の洞窟リベンジします。とても楽しませて下さるガイドさんでした！！水着さえあれば、あとは全て貸して下さるのも、とても楽です。

Every year, I participate in my child's birthday celebration. This is the third time, and this time I was disappointed for the first time.

The seat I had was completely blocked by a pillar, so I couldn't see anything. Even when they were singing the birthday song, I couldn't see, which made my child disappointed too.

I wondered why we were given this seat when there were so many other seats available. The photo with the cake also had the "Happy Birthday" text crooked and cut off halfway.

For the staff on the boat, it might just be another day out of 365, but for me, who participates once a year for my child's birthday, it's an important day. In the past two years, my child was happy and wanted to celebrate their birthday on the boat, so we traveled to Okinawa, but now I'm reconsidering for the next birthday.

毎年、子供の誕生日に参加してます。今回で3回目
今回は、初めてガッカリしたしました

ステージが柱のせいで全く見えない席でした。
子供の誕生日の歌を歌っているときも見えないので、子供もガッカリ

他にも席がたくさん余ってるなかで、なぜここの席❓っと思ってしまいました
ケーキと一緒の写真も誕生日おめでとうの字が曲がって途中で切れてるし

船の方々からすれば365/1日かもしれませんが、年に1回の誕生日に合わせて参加してる私からすれば大事な1日です。
前々回、前回と、子供が喜んで、舟で誕生日がしたいと沖縄旅行してましたが次の誕生日は、考えてしまいます

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island. The weather was cloudy. The bus was scheduled to leave the hotel at 7:25 AM, so it arrived in front of the hotel by 7:20 AM. Unfortunately, other groups arrived around 7:35 AM, causing a delay in our departure.

Once we arrived at the terminal, we divided into groups for explanations. It felt like a small island, Yufu Island, was attached to Iriomote Island. We transferred to a boat immediately after arriving at Iriomote Island for a mangrove cruise, then took a bus to Yufu. Once there, we took a cart ride, followed by lunch (40 minutes) and a short walk (30 minutes). However, during the walk, I found myself rushing back to the meeting point after just going for ice cream!

From Yufu, we took the cart back, then a bus, and immediately transferred to a boat to Taketomi. We only arrived at Iriomote Island by bus.

Upon arriving at Taketomi Island, we quickly went on a glass-bottom boat (30 minutes). Once on land, we took a small bus to the cart boarding area, where our names were called for the cart ride. We took a light tour around Taketomi, and once that was done, we immediately took a small bus to the port and then a boat back to Ishigaki.

This was the general itinerary. It felt like we were constantly changing modes of transportation and just sitting around (laughs). Honestly, I found Taketomi Island quite unsatisfactory, and since there was no free time, I wouldn't recommend the glass-bottom boat and cart ride plan. There simply wasn't enough time for both. I would have preferred a later return boat, but the schedule was fixed.

What I liked: It provided an opportunity to visit places I wouldn't normally go to. I was able to see the mangrove forest.

What I wouldn't recommend: The glass-bottom boat at Taketomi Island. The shallow and deep areas alternated quite a bit, so seeing the fish felt underwhelming, like, "Is that it?" (Since it takes 30 minutes to go out and come back.)

初の石垣島旅行。天気は曇り。
朝7:25にホテル発ということで、バスは7:20にはホテル前に
来ていました。
ただ不運なことに私たちのほかの団体さんが7:35とかに
平気で来て、出発から遅れ気味。
ターミナルについたら、各コースに分かれて説明を聞きます。

西表島の中に、小さな由布島がくっついている感じ。
石垣→西表島ついてすぐ船乗り換えてマングローブクルーズ
→すぐバスで由布。ついてすぐ牛車→由布で
ご飯（40分）＆散策（30分）くらい。散策といっても
ちょっとアイス食べに行っていたらもう集合場所に戻らないと！ってなる。

由布→牛車→すぐバス→すぐ船で竹富へ。
西表島はバスで上陸のみでした。

竹富島到着→すぐグラスボード（30分）→陸についたら、
小さいバスで牛車乗り場へ→名前呼ばれて牛車→竹富を軽く回る
→終わったら即小さいバスで船場へ→船で石垣。

こんな感じの工程です。乗り物をバンバン変えて座っている感じ（笑）
正直、竹富島とか全く物足りなくて、自由時間なかったので、
グラスボードと牛車プランはオススメしないですねー。両方は時間が
なさすぎる。帰りの船がもう少し後のがいいのだけど、時間が決まってました。

良かったところ：個人ではわざわざいかないところに行くきっかけに
なったこと。マングローブ群がみれたこと。

オススメしないこと：竹富島でグラスボード
浅瀬と深いところが結構交互にある感じなので、何度も
深いところと浅瀬を見るので、実際に魚を見た感じが
え？これだけ？って感じだった。（30分で沖まで行って戻ってくるので）

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Above all, it was great that it was only Japanese people. From the initial explanation to the detailed instructions for transferring vehicles, everything was clear and there was no confusion. Finally, thank you for taking us by large bus to the ANA InterContinental Hotel. The tour guide, the person who provided explanations, and the driver were all great.

何よりも、日本人だけだったのが最高でした。最初の説明から乗り物の乗り換えや、間違わないように導く細かな指示が解りやすく、迷うことが無かった。最後は貸し切りでANAインターコンチネンタルホテルまで大型バスで送って頂きありがとうございました。添乗員らしき方も、説明頂いた方も、運転手さんも良かったです。

I planned a trip to Okinawa with the goal of visiting the Blue Cave. I made a reservation for a tour starting at 3 PM on June 12 for a one-night, two-day trip. When I confirmed my reservation, I was informed that due to the typhoon, there was a possibility that the waves would be too high to enter the cave, and if that were the case, we would go snorkeling at a different spot. Since I was very eager to visit the Blue Cave, I asked the receptionist if it was possible to change the schedule to the next day, and I was told that it could be done if I switched to the early morning tour. They mentioned that it would depend on the weather, so they couldn't guarantee that we would definitely be able to go to the Blue Cave, but I decided to take a chance and change the tour.

On the day of the tour, the weather was sunny! We were told that they would assess the sea conditions, and we set off towards the cave on a sea kayak without knowing if we would be able to enter. It was my first time kayaking, and I received instructions on how to ride and paddle, which made it a lot of fun! Fortunately, we were able to visit the long-awaited Blue Cave, and I was moved by its natural beauty. I was extremely satisfied as I encountered many colorful fish while snorkeling and had a fulfilling time touching starfish and sea cucumbers! I would love to participate in the tour again if I have the opportunity. Thank you for accommodating my schedule change, and thank you to our tour guides Ami and Kana for the wonderful time! ❤️

青の洞窟を目的に沖縄旅行を計画しました。6月12日から一泊二日の初日15時からのツアーで予約しました。予約の確認連絡をした際に台風の影響で波が高く洞窟の中へは行けない可能性もあり、その際は別のポイントでのシュノーケリングになるとの事…青の洞窟へ行きたい気持ちが強く受付の方に翌日へのスケジュール変更が可能か伺ったところ、朝一のツアー変更であれば可能との事。天気で判断しますので、必ず青の洞窟へ行けるかはわからないとの返答でしたが僅かな望みにかけて、ツアー変更をさせていただきました。当日、お天気は晴れ‼️海況を見ながら判断しますと言われ、洞窟に入れるかどうかわからないままシーカヤックで洞窟に向かいました。初めてのシーカヤック、乗り方や漕ぎ方をレクチャーいただきとても楽しめました‼️運良く、念願の青の洞窟にも行けて、天然の美しさに感動✨大満足でしたシュノーケリングではたくさんのカラフルな魚に出会え、ヒトデやナマコに触ったり充実した時間を過ごせました‼️機会があればまたツアーに参加したいですスケジュール変更を快く対応いただきありがとうございましたツアーガイドのあみちゃん、かなちゃん、楽しい時間をありがとう❤️
