All Reviews for 沖繩活動

The main event of my trip that I was looking forward to was snorkeling.

On the day of the tour, I was informed that the Blue Cave tour was canceled due to high waves, and we switched to a snorkeling tour at a different location. The staff were very kind, and the facilities in the shop were clean and easy to use.

Unfortunately, the offshore point had high waves, and I felt exhausted from seasickness and motion sickness in the second half. Still, I was moved by the underwater scenery I saw for the first time. Thank you to the instructor who took many photos and encouraged us despite the high waves.

Next time, I would like to try again on a day with calmer waves without pushing myself too hard.

旅のメインイベントで楽しみにしていたシュノーケリング。

当日は、波が高いために青の洞窟ツアーは中止と連絡があり、別のポイントでのシュノーケリングツアーに変更しました。
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、店内の施設も綺麗で使いやすかったです。

残念ながら沖合いのポイントは波が高く、船酔い&波酔いで後半はグッタリ。
それでも、初めて見る海中の景色に感動しました。
波が高い中、たくさん写真を撮ったり、声をかけてくださったインストラクターの方、ありがとうございました。

次回は無理をせず、波が穏やかな日にチャレンジしてみたいです。

My first time in Ishigaki Island! I joined the tour thinking it would be a trip around the Yaeyama Islands, but due to poor timing, it seems the tour plan from the travel company was combined with this company's tour, resulting in us traveling with dozens of other tourists! Because of this, the ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island was extremely crowded! There were no empty seats in sight! Since it was open seating, we boarded early and managed to sit together, but those who boarded later ended up sitting scattered throughout the boat! Furthermore, the mangrove cruise, which is one of the main attractions, was obviously fully booked! We anticipated this and went straight to the cruise boat without even stopping for a restroom break! As expected, it was also open seating, so we were able to sit together, but about one-third of the people couldn't sit together, and those who boarded last were completely scattered! It was disappointing to be on vacation and have no consideration for seating arrangements, sitting quietly for an hour on the cruise! To make matters worse, we were supposed to go all the way upstream to see a very large and surprising "tree," but due to low tide, there wasn't enough water, and the river wasn't deep enough for the cruise boat to reach the upper stream, so we had to turn back halfway! I was told that what we saw along the river was just a small thing.

Up until this point, it wasn't a pleasant experience, but the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island was very soothing and enjoyable, and the singing along to the sanshin during the ride was lively! Additionally, on Taketomi Island, we rented bicycles, and there were many sights to see, such as the star sand and the village. A casual stop at a shaved ice shop offered a fluffy texture I had never experienced before, which was fantastic! In the end, we returned to Ishigaki Island on the last ferry! (Probably) I think choosing to rent a bicycle is great because you can select your own ferry. Looking back, it turned out to be a good trip!

初めての石垣島！この日は八重山諸島めぐりと思い参加しましたが、タイミングが悪く、旅行会社のツアープランが、この会社のツアーに組み込まれているらしく、何十人ものツアー客と同行！このため、石垣島→西表島のフェリーは超満員！見た感じ空いている席はなし！自由席なので、早めに乗船した我々は並んで着席できましたが、後半に乗船した人達は前後などにバラバラに着席！さらにメインの１つともいえるマングローブクルーズも当然満席！我々はそうなるだろうとトイレも行かずにクルーズ船へ一直線！やはりこちらも自由席のため、我々は並んで座れましたが、３分の１の方達は並んで座れず、最後の方は完全にバラバラに座っていました！せっかく旅行に来たのに、何の配慮もなく、１時間のクルーズをおとなしく座っていました！さらにタイミング悪く、本来最上流まで行き、とても大きく驚くほどの「木」が見れるらしいのですが、この時干潮が大きいと表現するのでしょうか、水がなく、川の深さが足りずクルーズ船が最上流まで行けず、途中でUターン！写真はその川沿いにある小さい物と教えていただきました。
ここまでは気分のいいものではありませんでしたが、由布島への水牛車はとても癒されるいいものでした、移動中の三線に合わせる歌も盛り上がりました！さらに竹富島ではレンタル自転車でしたが、星の砂、集落などの見所は多く、何気に寄ったカキ氷屋さんは、今まで食べた事のないフアフア食感で最高でした！結局石垣島に帰ったのは最終便でした！（たぶん）レンタル自転車を選択すると、自分で船を選択できるのでいいと思います、終わってみればいい旅！でした。

I was a bit hesitant about the early morning sightseeing, but it took a while to get to Iriomote Island, so I understood. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the mangrove sightseeing cruise, ride a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, see the glass boat in Taketomi Island, search for star sand, and visit local houses. It was all very good.

朝早くからの観光にちょっと「えー」と想いましたが、西表島へ行くのに時間がかかり、納得(^^)、お陰様でマングローブの見学クルージングやら、水牛車に乗っての由布島への観光から、竹富島でのグラスボート、星の砂探し、民家見学と全てを見ることが出来て大変良かったです。

It might be good if you're looking to enjoy the atmosphere, but the food wasn't as good as I had hoped. The staff quickly came to clear away empty plates, which gave me the impression of being rushed.

雰囲気を味わうなら良いかもしれませんが、料理は期待したほどではなかった。スタッフの人達が空いたお皿をすぐに下げに来て、急かされるような印象を受けました。

It seems that the address found on Google is for a previous location, and it appears to be an art shop now. I think it would be good to rely on the address from the reservation ticket. (I was informed by the staff at that art shop, haha.)

I thought painting would be quite difficult, but there was a video prepared, and by remembering the steps and following the instructions, it was easy to do! The staff would come when called, and in a good way, it felt relaxed, which was perfect for my family! It seems that even if you go a little over time, it's okay, so families with small children can take their time without feeling rushed. Everyone was able to create different Shisa, and the kids were happy. It was really fun, to the point where even the adults got really into it, so I definitely recommend going!

Also, since we used acrylic paint, it would be best to wear clothes that can get dirty or bring some, so you won't have to worry about getting your favorite clothes stained! Especially if small children are participating, they might get dirty without realizing it...

Googleで検索した住所だと以前の場所のようで現在は絵画店？のようでしたので、予約券の住所を頼りにしていくと良いと思います。(ウチはその絵画店の方に教えていただきましたw)

絵付けは自体は、結構難しいのかな？と思っていましたが、ビデオが用意してあり、段取りを覚えて手順通りに行うと簡単に出来ました！
スタッフの方も呼ぶと来てくれる位で、良い意味で適当な感じで、ウチの家族には最適でした！
時間も少し位でなく結構過ぎても大丈夫なようで、小さいお子さんが居てもセカセカしないで出来るので家族連れには嬉しいと思いますよ！
一人一人違うシーサーができて、子供たちも喜んでいました。とにかくとっても楽しく、大人の方が夢中になる位ですので、是非行ってみてください！

それと、アクリル絵の具なので、出来れば汚れてもいい服を着ていくか、持っていくかするとお気に入りの服を汚さないですむ済むと思います！
特に小さいお子さんが行う場合は知らないうちに汚しそうなので...

Due to strong winds before the typhoon, the boat was rocking quite a bit, but the weather was nice and pleasant. It was clear, but the water wasn't very clear. Also, it was disappointing that my 3-year-old son and other smaller children had to stand because there were no seats available, as the group of Chinese tourists boarded the boat first. I wonder why they let the group in before everyone else.

台風前で強風のため、船がとても揺れましたが、天気は良くて気持ち良かったです。晴れ渡っていたのですが、海中はそれほど澄み渡ってはいませんでした。また、中国人団体客が先に船に乗っているため、3歳の息子も、他のもっと小さな子どもたちもみんな座る席がなくて立たされたままだったのが残念。どうして団体客を先に入れてしまうのか疑問です。

I was worried about the impact of the typhoon, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience. The Blue Cave was just as its name suggests, shining in blue and truly mysterious and beautiful! The staff at Adventure Island were very attentive, allowing me to participate in diving with peace of mind. Especially since one of the staff members stayed with me because I struggle with equalizing my ears, my anxiety was greatly eased. It was a very satisfying tour. I definitely want to repeat it when I go diving in Okinawa again.

心配していた台風の影響もなく、とても楽しい思い出となりました。青の洞窟はその名の通り、ブルーで輝いていて、本当に神秘的で美しかった！！冒険島のスタッフさんには丁寧に対応して頂き、安心してダイビングも参加できました。特に耳抜きの下手な私にもう一人のスタッフが専属でついていてくれたので不安がだいぶ和らぎました。とても満足できたツアーでした。また沖縄でダイビングするときにはぜひリピートしたいです。

Naha City is fun for shopping, but I wanted to do something that felt more like an Okinawa trip, so I signed up for this activity. I made a reservation in advance and entered the store right when it opened. Customers kept coming in, and the store seemed busy. There were also several cats there, which were popular with the passing children. First, we choose one from many pre-made shisa figures made of plaster. There were various unique shisa, such as those with open mouths and closed mouths, making it hard to decide. After watching a DVD on how to paint, we started decorating. Once we began, not just I, but the children also carefully observed the samples (there are various colorful shisa in the store) to enjoy the painting process. Each table had a small fan, which helped the paint dry quickly, so we weren't bored. Including the drying time and the time to pack them in boxes, it takes about an hour to complete. Choosing the paint and freely applying colors made me feel like a child again. This activity captivated not only the kids but also the adults. We created wonderful memories together as a family.

那覇市はお買い物が楽しいですが、沖縄旅行らしいことをしたくて申し込みました。お店には前もって予約をし、開店と同時に入店しました。次から次へとお客様がいらして、店内は忙しそうでした。そこには何匹か猫もいて、通りゆく子供達から人気でした。最初にしっくいであらかじめ作ってあった沢山のシーサーの中から1つ選びます。口を開けたもの、口を閉じたものなど、その他いろいろ個性的なシーサーが沢山あるので選ぶのに迷いました。そして作り方のDVDを観てから絵付けを始めます。絵付けを始めると、私だけでなく子供もどんな色を塗ろうかサンプル（店内にはいろいろな彩りのシーサーがあります）をじっくり観察して絵付けをたのしみました。テーブルに1つずつ小さい扇風機があり、絵の具が乾くのも早く退屈しませんでした。乾かす時間や箱に梱包して詰める時間も含めるとだいたい一時間あれば完成します。絵の具を選んで自由に色を塗るのも、なんだか童心に戻った感じがします。このように子供だけでなく、大人も夢中になります。親子でよい思い出ができました。

Although it was raining in the morning and the weather was unfortunate, the tour was packed with activities and very enjoyable. At the aquarium, we were treated as a group, so we didn't have to wait in line at the ticket booth. Personally, I really liked Pineapple Park. We watched a DVD of the Pineapple Park song and dance on the bus, which put us in a fun mood for our entrance. I wish we had a bit more time. Most of the tour participants were from Korea, China, and Taiwan, and there was only one other Japanese group besides us, so it felt like we were abroad. If the weather had been clear and we could have seen the beautiful ocean, I think it would have been an incredibly satisfying budget tour.

朝から雨が降りあいにくの天気でしたが、盛りだくさんのツアーでとてもよかったです。
水族館では団体扱いなのでチケット売り場に並ばずにすみました。
個人的にはパイナップルパークが気に入りました。
バスの中でパイナップルパークの歌とダンスのDVDをみて、楽しい気分のまま入場できました。
もう少し時間がほしかったです。
ツアーの参加者はほとんど韓国、中国、台湾の方たちで、日本人は自分たちとあと一組くらいだったので、なんだか海外に来た気分になりました。
晴れてきれいな海が見られていたら本当に大満足の格安ツアーになったと思います。

We participated as a family of four. The weather was nice and a bit hot, but we had a great time encountering many creatures like crabs, gobies, large hermit crabs, fish, black-tailed gulls, and bats, and we enjoyed the informative stories from our guide. Everyone in the family was satisfied.

家族四人で参加。天気も良くて少し暑かったですが、カニ、ハゼ、大きなヤドカリ、魚、クロサギ、コウモリなど沢山の生き物との出会いとガイドさんのためになる話が聞けて楽しい時間を過ごせました。家族皆満足してます。

We participated as a family of four for a luxurious dining experience. The breeze on the boat was pleasant. I was so focused on grilling the meat that before I knew it, we had drifted out to sea, and I missed the scenery in no time. Under the starry sky, the beer was amazing‼️ There was so much meat that we couldn't finish it all^_^

家族四人で優雅な食事目的で参加。船の上の風が心地よかったです。肉を焼くのに必死で、いつの間にか沖に出ていて、景色を見るのをうっかりあっという間でした。星空の下、ビールは最高‼️肉が食べきれないほど沢山ですよ^_^

I took a sightseeing submarine for the first time. I was unsure whether to rent a car or take a taxi to the port, but I decided to drive for convenience. The paid parking lot at the port was time-based, but I was able to park for about 400 yen.

I had imagined the sightseeing boat to be a glass-bottom boat, but it was much more stylish. On the way to the sightseeing spot, we passed Naha Airport, where we could enjoy watching planes take off and land up close. Additionally, it coincided perfectly with the arrival of a luxury cruise ship at Naha Port, which made me feel like I got double the experience. Although the underwater visibility was said to be somewhat poor, I had no trouble seeing anything. It was also mentioned that the boat would sway, but since we could breathe fresh air when not underwater, I didn't feel too worried about seasickness (the kids took motion sickness medicine, though). During the underwater sightseeing, it felt like being inside an aquarium, and I saw various fish swimming around. Being on a boat made it feel like we were swimming together with them.

I had requested a meal package, and the hotel buffet was fresh and delicious for my family, who were a bit tired of Okinawan cuisine. Moreover, we were able to use the hotel parking lot for free while dining.

Next time, I definitely want to ride when the visibility is good.

水中観光船に初めて乗りました。港までレンタカーにしようか、タクシーにしようか迷いましたが、便利さから車で行きました。港の有料駐車場は時間制でしたが、大体400円くらいで駐車できました。
観光船は、グラスボートをイメージしていましたが、もっとおしゃれな感じでした。観光場所まで行く途中にも那覇空港があり、間近で飛行機の離発着を楽しむことができます。また、当日は、豪華客船の那覇港入港とちょうど同じ時間帯となり、2倍得した気分になりました。水中視界はやや不良ということでしたが、問題なく見ることができました。また、船が揺れる予想とのことでしたが、水中観光時以外は外気を吸うことができるので、さほど船酔いを恐れることはなさそうです(子供は酔い止めを飲みましたが)。水中観光時には、まるで水族館の中にいるようで、いろいろな魚が見られました。そして船なので、一緒に泳いでいる感じになります。
食事つきのコースをお願いしていましたが、ホテルバイキングは沖縄料理にちょっと疲れ気味の家族には新鮮で、たいへんおいしくいただけました。また、食事をする際のホテルの駐車場は無料で利用させていただけました。
次回は、ぜひ視界良好の時に乗ってみたいです。

This was my seventh visit to Taketomi Island, but it was my first time visiting in August. It was very hot and humid, as it was just three days after a large typhoon, but the weather was clear with almost no clouds. It was too hot for cycling, but the color of the sea changed into various shades of blue under the sunlight, and it was incredibly beautiful. I have used rental bicycles many times in the past, but at this time, the rental shop (Maruhachi) provided a unique map that was very helpful for sightseeing around the island. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island (Taketomi Island), I would like to use their services again.

竹富島には、７回目の訪問となったが、今回初めて８月に訪れました。３日前に大型台風が来た後だったので、湿度も高く、大変暑かったが、天気は、雲がほとんどなく晴天でした。サイクリングには、暑すぎましたが、今までになく海の色が太陽の日差しを受けて様々な青色に変化し、大変綺麗でした。又、過去何度となくレンタサイクルを利用していますが、今回のレンタサイクル屋（丸八）さんでは、独自の地図も戴き、島内観光するには、大変役立ちました。次回、石垣島（竹富島）などに行き時は、利用したいと思います。

You can efficiently enjoy all three islands!
It can be challenging to arrange everything yourself, but we were able to fully enjoy the mangroves, water buffalo carts, and rental bicycles.
The rental bicycles were great, even though it was very hot, as we could explore wherever we wanted, and it was nice to have the option to choose our return ferry time.

3つの島を効率良く満喫できます！
自分達で手配をすると大変ですが、マングローブや水牛車、レンタルサイクルと全てを満喫することが出来ました。
レンタルサイクルは、非常に暑かったですが好きなところを回ることができ、帰りのフェリーの時間も選択できるので良かったです。

I participated in the water buffalo cart and rental bicycle plan on August 2nd! I was able to fully appreciate the charm of Taketomi Island, and after the water buffalo cart ride, I enjoyed cycling around the island without any time restrictions. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much! ^_^

8月2日に水牛車&レンタサイクルのプランで参加させていただきました！竹富島の魅力を十分感じることができ、また水牛車あとのレンタサイクルでゎ時間制限なく心置きなく竹富島を満喫することができました！是非また参加したいです。ありがとうございました^_^

It was absolutely amazing!
I ended up taking a total of four boat rides.
I couldn't see the majestic humpback whales up close,
but I got hooked on whale watching.

もう最高です！
合計４本船に乗ってしまいた。
迫力のあるザトウクジラの姿は
間近で見ることは出来ませんでしたが
ホエールウォッチングにはまりました。

It was absolutely amazing!
The sight of the humpback whale was impressive,
and since it’s partly about luck, I didn’t get to see it very often.
Still, aside from the two reservations I made here,
I ended up going on a total of four boats,
and although they were small, I was able to see the whales.
I want to come back for a revenge trip next time.
By the way, I went from February 1st,
and it was already summer in Okinawa.

もう最高です！
迫力のあるザトウクジラの姿は、
半分運があるので、中々見れませんでした。
それでも、ここで２つ予約した以外
合計４本船に乗ってしまい、
小さいながら、クジラの姿を見ることは
出来ました。
また今度リベンジで行きたいと思います。
なお、2/1から行きまして、
沖縄はもう夏でした。

Everything is so nice, including seeing 3 shark whale at the same tank...which is an amazing experience. The only complain that we have is the roundtrip bus takes too long and the actual sightseeing is a bit too short

Due to the typhoon, I requested to shift my reservation by one day and opted for an early morning flight. Inside the cave, since it was early morning, there was only one group, allowing us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. There were many fish, and it felt like we were swimming in an aquarium!

There were three children with us, but the staff member took great care of them, so we could snorkel without worry. We had over 100 photos taken, and I was very satisfied. We received them on a CD and also got some photos on our smartphones right there.

I didn't like that there were quite a few mosquitoes at the shop, but I'm really glad I made this request.

台風の影響で1日ずらして早朝便でお願いしました。洞窟内では早朝だから一組しかいなくてゆっくり満喫できました。魚もたくさんいて、まるで水族館の中で泳いでいるようでした！
3人子供がいましたが担当のお姉さんがしっかり見てくれたので気にせずシュノーケルできました。写真も100枚以上撮ってもらい満足です☆CDRでもらい、スマホにもその場で写真をもらえました。
ショップに蚊がけっこう飛んでいたのが嫌でしたが、本当に頼んでよかったです。

We participated as a family. Thanks to our instructor Yukiyo, who brightly and firmly supported our family with a non-swimming mother, a daughter with a fear of the sea, and a youngest child who gets seasick, we had a truly unforgettable and wonderful experience.

Having one instructor assigned to each group provided a sense of security and allowed for a warm and friendly experience. Our 8-year-old youngest child was completely absorbed, exclaiming how amazing it was while snorkeling and seeing the underwater world. Even our daughter, who had been scared of the sea, was smiling before we knew it.

On the day of our experience, the waves were calm and the weather was good, which was lucky for us. They provided us with a CD-ROM of photos taken in the Blue Cave, feeding the fish, and on the boat, and we were also able to transfer the photos to our smartphones.

After returning to the hotel, the kids said, "I want to go again. I want to play there all day," which left me a bit troubled.

I would love to participate in snorkeling again.

家族で参加しました。泳げない母、海恐怖症の長女、酔いやすい末っ子、問題山積みの私達家族を明るく、しっかりとサポートしてくれた、インストラクターのゆきよさんのおかげで、とても忘れがたいステキな体験が出来ました。
一組に一人インストラクターが付いてくれるのは、安心感があり、また、アットホームに和やかに体験が出来ます。
シュノーケリングで、海の中を見た8歳の末っ子は、すごいすごいと言いながら夢中になってました。海の中が怖いと言っていた長女も、いつの間にか笑顔になってました。

私達が体験した日は、波が穏やかで天気もよかったので、良いコンディションだったのもラッキーでした。
青の洞窟での写真、魚に餌付けしてる写真、船での写真をCDROMで渡してくれるし、スマホに写真を取り込むことも出来ました。

ホテルに帰ってからも、『また行きたい。一日中、あそこで遊びたい』と子供に言われ困ってしまうほどでした。

また、シュノーケリングに参加したいです。

The day before, I participated in a hard tour from early morning until evening, so I chose a leisurely departure time for Taketomi Island. A pickup from the hotel arrived at 10 AM. The bus driver shared various interesting stories about Ishigaki during the ride to the ferry terminal. After arriving at the ferry terminal, I was very satisfied with the attentive service, as they informed me about the return boat schedule that connected well with the hotel shuttle. On Taketomi, my fourth-grade son was even more delighted with the water buffalo cart than I had expected. Water buffaloes are really smart! After that, we rented bicycles to collect star sand and stroll through the town. The weather was very favorable and hot, but we had a great time.

前日、朝早くから夕方までのハードめのツアーに参加していたので、竹富島へは朝のんびり出発できる時間を選択。10時にホテルにお迎えが来てくれました。バスの運転手さんが離島ターミナルまでの間、石垣の興味津々な色々なお話しをして下さいました＾＾離島ターミナルに着いてからも、ホテル送迎のバスに乗り継ぎの良い帰りの船の時間を教えて下さったり細やかなサービスに大満足でした。竹富では水牛車は思っていた以上に小4の息子が喜びました。水牛って本当に賢いんですね！その後はレンタルサイクルで星砂を集めに行ったり街並みを散策したり。非常に天気に恵まれ暑かったですが楽しかったです。

I went to see it on a sunny day, but the sea was still rough due to bad weather the day before. According to the operator, the visibility level was 3 (still visible).

Since we were viewing from the bottom of the boat, we didn't need an underwater camera, and I was able to capture some footage with a regular camera, which was great. I was satisfied with the lunch buffet at the Nest Hotel included with the ticket. Everything I tried was quite delicious. The meal coupon is a good deal.

However, I would like to consider not only the weather on the day of the visit but also the weather from the previous day for my next trip.

Also, I wish the glass windows at the bottom of the boat were cleaned a bit more. There were some green algae that obstructed the view.

晴天の日に見に行ったが、前日の悪天候により海が収まっていなかった。
業者さん曰く、視界レベル３（まだみえます）らしい。

船の底から見るので水中カメラは要らないし、普通のカメラで映像も少し収められたので良かった。
チケットで付いてるネストホテルのランチバイキングに満足。
割とどれを取っても美味しい。ミールクーポンはお得です。

ただ、当日の天候だけでなく前日の天候も考慮して今度は見に行きたい。

あと、船底の窓ガラスはもうちょっと掃除しておいてほしい。
緑っぽい藻で見えないところとかあったので。

I liked that I could visit Mishima in one day and made a reservation, but it turned out to be a rushed sightseeing experience. I was able to relax in Iriomote and Yufu, but I wanted to explore Taketomi Island at a more leisurely pace. Next time, I would like to spend a whole day on Taketomi Island, cycling around the beautiful beaches and houses. The glass boat ride I took on Taketomi Island was not that great. However, the highlight was riding the water buffalo cart. I was soothed by the slow-moving water buffalo cart and the songs of the old man.

三島を1日で行けるところが気に入り予約しましたが、慌ただしい観光になりました。
西表・由布はゆっくりできましたが、竹富島をもっとゆっくり観光したかったです。
この次行くとしたら1日竹富島に行ききれいなビーチ、家並みを自転車で回りたいです。
竹富島で乗ったグラスボートは、いまいちでした。
良かったところは水牛車に乗ったことです。ゆっくりと動く水牛車とおじさんの歌に癒されました。

I was considering a bus tour to the Churaumi Aquarium, but I chose this tour that picks you up at the DFS Galleria near my hotel in Omoromachi. On the way to the aquarium, we had a packed itinerary that included exploring Manza Beach and crossing the scenic bridge to Kouri Island, allowing me to fully enjoy Okinawa.

美ら海水族館へはバスツアーを検討していましたが、おもろまちのホテル近くのＤＦＳＴギャラリアでピックアップしてくれるこちらのツアーにしました。お目当ての水族館への途中には万座毛を散策したり古宇利島への絶景橋を渡るなど盛りだくさんで、沖縄を満喫することができました。

I don't feel a sense of relaxation, but I think it was good to be able to compactly visit the highlights of Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island.

のんびり感はありませんが、西表島、竹富島のそれぞれのポイントを押さえてコンパクトに回れてよかったと思います。

Overall it was a great tour. Great value for money. Best of the tour is certainly the aquarium. In the tour there is a udon noodles lunch included together with a brief visit to a bufferfly garden, pineapple theme park and and a typical Okinawa glass workshop.
If you like to avoid the hassle of taking different busses this is certainly a good option

I think it's a course that is difficult to cover in just one day on your own. The mangroves of Iriomote, the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island, and cycling in Taketomi... all of these became unforgettable memories. However, I personally felt that the time spent on Yubu Island was too long, so I would have liked to take it slower in Taketomi instead.

個人ではなかなか1日で回ることのできないコースだと思います。西表マングローブ、由布島の水牛車、竹富でのサイクリング・・どれも忘れられない思い出になりました。
ただ、由布島での滞在時間は個人的には多すぎたため、その分竹富でもっとゆっくりしたかったです。

We were blessed with good weather, and the visibility was high, allowing us to see a lot of fish, which made the kids very happy. My husband and I felt a bit seasick, but seeing the kids excitedly watching the fish was the best part. We chose the buffet for lunch, and every dish was delicious, with a wide variety of desserts that left us very satisfied. It was a great deal to add lunch for just an extra 500 yen.

天候に恵まれたのか、透明度も高くとてもたくさんの魚が見えて子供達も大喜びでした。
私と夫は若干船酔い気味でしたが、子供達が楽しそうに魚を見てははしゃいでいたのが何よりでした。
ランチはビュッフェを選びましたが、料理はどれも美味しく、デザートも種類が豊富でとても満足でした。
プラス500円でランチがつけられたので、とてもお得でした。

When taking the ferry from Ishigaki Port to Taketomi Island, I ended up sitting in a place without air conditioning, and I was on the verge of feeling unwell. However, once we arrived at Taketomi Island, we were able to enjoy a cool bus tour, which was great.

We found star sand on Hoshizuna Beach, and even the elderly family members were excited. We waited for over 30 minutes to ride the water buffalo, and we also had to wait about an hour for the return bus, so there was a lot of waiting time.

Since there wasn't a good bus schedule from Ishigaki Port to the hotel, we used a taxi. The main water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island was indeed enjoyable. I'm glad we went because my family was happy.

石垣港から船で竹富島に渡るとき冷房の効いてない場所に座ってしまった為、具合が悪くなる寸前でした。が、竹富島に着いてすぐ涼しいバスで観光でしたので良かったです。
星砂浜で星砂を見つけたり高齢の家族もはしゃいでいました。
水牛に乗るまでに30分以上待ち、
帰りのバスも1時間位待ったので待ち時間が多かったです。
石垣港からホテルへのバスも良い時間がなかったのでタクシーを利用しました。
竹富島のメインの水牛観光はやはり楽しかったです。家族が喜んでくれたので行って良かったです。

The young and lively staff members were on board, and the staff who accompanied us on the boat were desperately searching for whales. It seemed like we might have seen a tail or a spout... something like that. However, just experiencing the sea and wind of Okinawa made it worth participating.

On the day we boarded, the sea was quite rough, and many people were exhausted on the way back. Since we participated in January, the wind was cold, so I think long sleeves are a must during this time. But that's nature, so it's something we have to accept. I hope we can see more clearly next time.

若くてイキイキしたお兄さんたちがスタッフで、船に同乗してくださったスタッフの方は必死にクジラを探してくださっていましたが、シッポ？が見えたような…潮吹き？が見えたような…そんな感じでした。でも沖縄の海や風を体感できるだけでも参加する価値はありました。
私たちが乗船した日は、とにかく海が荒れてて帰りはグッタリな方々も多かったです。
また参加月が１月でしたので、風が冷たくこの時期は長袖は必須だと思います。
でもそこは自然ですので、仕方ないことですよね。
次回はしっかり見られるといいな。
