All Reviews for 沖繩活動

It was supposed to be a discussion about choosing a location based on the weather that day, but the moonlight made it difficult to see the stars, and there were clouds everywhere! When I returned to my accommodation in Hirakawa, the sky was completely filled with stars, and I was disappointed thinking I shouldn't have spent money and time to go see them. Also, on the day itself, there was no email with location information, and the address provided over the phone for nearby places was completely off. It's a shame.

その日の天候に合わせて場所を決める様な話だった筈なのに、月明かりで星が見難い上に、雲が一面に‼︎ 平川の宿泊先に戻ったら、一面星空になっていて、わざわざお金と時間使って見に行かなければ良かった〜と、がっかりしました。
また、当日になっても場所案内のメールもなく、電話で教えて貰った近隣とされる住所は、まったく見当違いの場所でした。
残念です。

On July 9th, I participated in a bus tour and water buffalo cart ride during the Diamond Princess's stop at Ishigaki Island. Riding with Yuko, each view I saw while listening to the shamisen is etched in my memory. Although it was a short time, it was a very meaningful experience. Also, I would like to thank Veltra for their kind assistance regarding the return ferry service when I made my reservation.

7月9日、ダイヤモンドプリンセスの石垣島寄港の際にバス観光と水牛車に参加しました。
ゆうこさんに乗り、三味を聴きながら回って観た景色一つ一つが頭に焼き付いて、短い時間でしたがとても有意義な経験でした。
また予約時、ベルトラさんには帰りの船便のことで色々親切に対応して頂き、ありがとうございました。

This time, I participated with my mother, sister, nephew, and niece. The Blue Cave was even bluer than I imagined and was a truly wonderful place. Our guide, Mr. Hanyu, was kind and entertaining, and he helped uplift the mood along with his fellow guides, making for a very enjoyable time. I would love to join this tour again if I have the chance.

今回 母と妹と甥と姪と参加しました。
青の洞窟は想像以上に青くとても素敵な場所でした。
ガイドの羽生さんも親切で面白く、他のガイド仲間の方たちと気持ちを盛り上げていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
機会があればまた参加したいツアーです。

I found this tour because I had been wanting to visit Taketomi Island, which is only about a 10-minute trip from Ishigaki Island. It was cheaper than buying the boat and water buffalo cart separately, so I decided on this option right away. You can also choose your return boat based on the day's conditions, which I recommend.

石垣島からたった10分くらいで行けるということで、以前から竹富島に行きたいと思っていたところ、こちらのツアーを見つけました。
船、水牛車を別々に買うより安かったので、すぐにこちらに決めました。
帰りの船も当日の状況によって決めることができるし、おすすめです。

This tour includes both water buffalo carts traveling through the water on Yubu Island and those moving through the town on Taketomi Island. As previous travelers have noted, upon checking in at the remote island terminal, we received all our tickets and proceeded to our respective boarding areas on time. The coordination and guidance at each location were solid, allowing us to explore freely and comfortably while ensuring a safe and efficient visit to all three islands.

The mangrove cruise took place on a day close to high tide, but there were unique sights to see during low tide, and the captain's stories were entertaining.

On Yubu Island, the water buffalo cart crosses the sea, creating a scene filled with sky, ocean, and the water buffalo cart. I had imagined it would have a more rustic charm, but it turned out to be quite touristy with a comical side, which seemed to appeal to a wide range of generations. While on land, after confirming the return time for the water buffalo cart, we were free to explore. For lunch, we went to a cafeteria where we enjoyed a bento box featuring Okinawan ingredients, including rice made from black rice from Iriomote Island. As someone visiting Okinawa for the first time, I found the unique food delicious, and I even bought some souvenirs at Ishigaki Airport on the way back, thanks to the bento from Yubu Island. We took beautiful photos of flowers and the water buffalo in the water, and while we could relax on Yubu Island, it was hot, so we took breaks in cool buildings while exploring.

On Taketomi Island, I chose the water buffalo cart and bus tour. First, we took a bus from Taketomi Port to Kaiji Beach and Kondoi Beach. Although the time at each location was short, there were cheers when we saw the beautiful shallow beaches. The water buffalo cart then leisurely moved through the streets lined with red-tiled roofs and blooming bougainvillea. (The water buffalo has a habit of stopping in the shade, which was quite charming.) With a roof overhead, we were shielded from the heat, and the 30 minutes passed quickly as the tour neared its end. The connection to the bus back to Taketomi Port was excellent, so there wasn't time to shop or have tea in town, but without this kind of tour that allows for a short visit to all three islands, I wouldn't have been able to travel to the Yaeyama Islands. The itinerary itself and the operational efficiency of the tour seemed to reflect feedback from previous travelers, showing improvements, and I thought it was a wonderfully well-organized tour. This time, I traveled alone as a reconnaissance trip, but if it’s this good, I’d like to bring my husband along next time and go again.

由布島で水の中をゆく水牛車と、竹富島の町なかをゆく水牛車の両方があるこのツアー。
先人の方が、体験談に書いておられる通り、離島ターミナルでの受付時に、すべてのチケットを受け取って、時間通りに各々乗り場へ。各場所での連携、誘導もしっかりしていて、自由で気楽
でありながら、安心で、効率良く３島を回れました。

マングローブクルーズは大潮に近い日にちでしたが、引き潮ならではの見どころがあり、
船長さんのお話も面白かった。

由布島では、海をわたってゆく水牛車。視界の中が、空と、海と、水牛車、の世界。。。
は、もうちょっといい感じに鄙びた風情かと勝手に思っておりましたが、
ツーリスティックで、コミカルな一面もあり、それはそれで、幅広い世代に受けている様子。
上陸中は、戻りの水牛車の集合時間を確認したら、自由に見学します。
お昼は、各々食堂に行き頂くのですが、
沖縄食材を散りばめたお弁当で、西表島の黒米？のごはんがついています。沖縄方面は初めての私には珍しい食べものが多くとても美味しかったので、帰りの石垣空港でお土産に買ったものもあり、由布島のお弁当のおかげと思っています。
美しい花や、水に入っている水牛さんの写真を撮ったり、由布島では結構ゆっくりできますが、
暑いので涼しい建物のなかで休憩しつつの見学という感じでした。


竹富島は、水牛車とバス観光を選びました。
まず、バスで竹富港からカイジ浜や、コンドイ浜へ。各所時間は短いですが、遠浅の美しい浜が見えた時には、歓声が上がっていました。
そして、水牛車は、ブーゲンビリアの咲く赤瓦の街並みをゆっくりと進みます。
（日陰で止まる癖のある水牛さんがご愛嬌）
屋根があるので暑さは遮られ30分は結構すぐ過ぎて、ツアーも終盤です。
帰りの竹富港までのバスへの連絡もやたら良いので、町へ出て、買い物や、お茶のみをする時間はありませんが、短い時間でも３島巡りできるこのようなツアーでなければ、八重山諸島の旅行には来られなかったでしょう。
旅程そのものも、それを実行する側の機動力もあり、以前体験談等で見かけた客の声も反映され改善されているように見えましたし、素晴らしくよくできたツアーだと思いました。
今回は、下見を兼ねての一人旅でしたが、こんなに良いなら夫も連れて、また行きたいです。

I participated in a cycling course on Taketomi Island. It was hot, but the kids really enjoyed collecting star sand at Star Sand Beach, playing on the beach as much as they wanted, and visiting the village. It was also nice to be able to choose the time for the return ferry.

竹富島でのサイクリングコースに参加しました
暑かったですが、星砂海岸で星砂集めたり、ビーチで好きなだけ遊んだり、集落にお邪魔したりで、子供たちはとても楽しんでいました
帰りのフェリーの時間が選べるのも良かったです

The place I really wanted to visit on my first trip to Okinawa was the Churaumi Aquarium. I was staying with friends who live in Okinawa, so while they were at work, I planned to enjoy the aquarium. However, I found out that it was farther from Naha than I expected and there were no transportation options available. I signed up for a bus tour that offered a longer stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, and about four hours flew by in no time. Since other facilities were located far away, if you spend too long enjoying the aquarium, you might not have enough time to explore everything else. I got so captivated by the large tanks that I ended up rushing to the dolphin show!

初めての沖縄でとにかく行きたかったところ！
それは美ら海水族館でした。
沖縄在住の友達の所へお世話になっていたので彼らが仕事中、水族館を満喫しようと思ってたのですが、思いのほか那覇から遠いことと、交通手段が無い？事でした。
バスツアーの中でも美ら海水族館の滞在時間が長いこちらのツアーに申し込み、約4時間、あっという間でしたね。
水族館以外の施設が離れたところにあったりして、水族館をあまり長く堪能してると回りきれなくなってしまいます。
私は巨大水槽に見入ってしまい大慌てでイルカショーへ向かうはめになってしまいました。

We took a 2-hour kayaking adventure along cliffs near Malibu beach provided by Aruguide. We enjoyed the activity very much thanks to Ryan who was our energetic instructor with expertise on kayaking in Okinawa waters. This was a bonus to us as we never expected to have an English speaking trainer whom we could communicate at ease since we don't speak any Japanese at all.

The tour began with a pickup in front of DFS near Omoromachi Station on the Yui Rail. This time, we visited the northern part of the island, which is not typically included in personal travel itineraries.

On the day of the tour, there were only five participants, making it a very small group. However, this allowed for a well-organized and smooth experience.

We were fortunate with the weather, and the views at Cape Hedo and Daichi Forest Park were beautiful. Although we walked and worked up a sweat, we were able to enjoy the sightseeing with a refreshing feeling (though it was quite hot!).

For lunch, we had a buffet at Okuma Private Beach & Resort, which offered a wide variety of fruits and desserts, including cakes. It was satisfying even when including the regular meal.

Next, we visited the Churaumi Aquarium (the last stop was Nago's Okashi Goten). Although I had been there once before, I didn't have time to explore the entire aquarium, so this time I focused on feeding the whale sharks and watching the dolphin show, which I missed last time.

The dolphin show was shorter than I expected, which was a bit disappointing, but the content was enjoyable, and I wished it had lasted longer.

Given its short duration, I felt a bit let down.

If I could wish for anything, it would be to have a little more time for strolling around the Churaumi Aquarium.

Nonetheless, I was very satisfied with the northern sightseeing experience.

ツアーの始まりは、ゆいレールのおもろまち駅近くのDFS前でのピックアップでした。
今回は、個人の旅行では中々行かない北部の観光です。

当日は、5名でのバスツアーとなり、非常に参加人数の少ないツアーでしたが、人数が少ないだけに時間行動がしっかりできてスムーズなツアーでした。

お天気にも恵まれ、辺戸岬、大石林山も景観が良く歩いて汗はかくものの爽やかな気持ちで観光出来ました（しかし、暑かったぁ〜苦笑）。

昼食は、オクマプライベートビーチ&リゾートでのビュッフェですがフルーツやケーキなどのスイーツの種類が多く、通常の食事を含めても満足出来るものでした。

次に美ら海水族館でした（最後は、名護のお菓子御殿）。
一度行った事があるものの水族館全体を見回る時間は無いので、今回はジンベイザメの餌やりと前回見られなかったイルカショーに絞り、見て来ました。

イルカショー、思っていたよりショーの時間が短く拍子抜けでしたが、ショーの内容は楽しく、もっとやって貰いたかった。

短かっただけに残念でした。

美ら海水族館は、欲を言えば、散策の時間をもう少しとって貰えると良いと思います。

それにしても北部観光、満足です。

This tour is packed with famous spots in Okinawa. I have been to Okinawa many times, but I chose this for my family's first trip to Okinawa. I think you can't go wrong with it.

The bus was almost full, but it seemed that more than half of the passengers were tourists from overseas. The guide was fluent in English.

沖縄の有名どころを詰め込んでくれたツアーです。
私は沖縄何度も行っているのですが、今回沖縄が初めての家族との旅行だったので選びました。
外れなしだと思います。

バスはほぼ満員でしたが、半分以上が海外からの観光客さんの様でした。
ガイドさんは英語もペラペラでしたー

It was my first time visiting the three islands, and it was full of highlights with a smooth itinerary. The activities were enjoyable for the kids as well, making for a fun experience.

初めての3島めぐりでしたが見所満載で時間もスムーズな行程で、子供も楽しめる内容で楽しく過ごせました。

I was able to smoothly enjoy the ferry, water buffalo, and rental bicycles, and fully experience the sightseeing. Thank you very much!!

フェリー、水牛、レンタサイクルとすごくスムーズに利用出来て、観光を満喫することが出来まし^_^
ありがとうございました！！

It was great to be able to visit various places by bus, and it was reasonably priced. I was surprised that there were mostly foreigners. It was difficult to have lunch at Churaumi, so I think something should be considered for that.

バスで色々回れて、その割に安くてよかったです。
外国人がほとんどだったので、おどろきました。
美ら海でお昼を食べるのは大変でした。何か考えた方が良いと思います。

I had a great time making a unique Shisa while following a sample made of clay and even adding color! It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't start making it without watching the video first, especially since time was limited.

粘土から見本を見ながら作って、色つけまで出来るので世界で1つだけのシーサーを作ることが出来て楽しかったです！
時間がない中で、必ずビデオ見てからでないと作り始められなかったのがちょっと残念でした。

I was guided very well by "Match." I have experienced snorkeling tours many times, but this was the best. The Blue Cave was very crowded, but with the right guide, I thoroughly enjoyed the peppermint blue waters. The photos taken were wonderful and I believe they will be a precious memory for my family. Next time, I would like to try scuba diving.

ガイドの「マッチさん」にとても上手に案内していただきました。シュノーケリングツアーは何度も経験していますが最上でした。青の洞窟はとても混んでいましたが、適切なガイドで、ペパーミントブルーを満喫しました。撮って頂いた写真はとても素晴らしく、家族の大切な記念になると思います。次回はタンクに挑戦したいと思います。

It was a tour that covered three islands in one day, each filled with its own charm. On Iriomote Island, we explored the mangrove forest by boat. We leisurely crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, and the guide's sanshin performance was also captivating. We strolled through the botanical garden. The lunch bento was delicious too. Finally, on Taketomi Island, we took a relaxing tour around the village on a water buffalo, and the pace of life was wonderfully slow. I highly recommend this tour!

1日で3島を巡り、それぞれの島の魅力満載のツアーでした。西表島ではマングローブの森を船で観光。由布島へは、水牛でゆったりと渡りガイドさんの三線も魅力的でした。植物園内を散策。昼食のお弁当も美味しかったですよ。最後の竹富島は、村の中を水牛でのんびり回り時の流れがゆったりとして最高でした‼️とってもオススメのツアーですよ。

Since this is my first time visiting Ishigaki Island, I applied for a tour around the islands. The staff were kind, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

今回初めて石垣島に行くので離党巡りもしたいと思い申し込みました。スタッフの方も親切で気分よく楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

It felt like I became an athlete in a place full of nature. Once I got used to it, I could do parallel slalom to the fullest, just like skiing. The instructor filled our two hours with fun dad jokes. During our break for tea and snacks, we made grasshoppers and accessories using leaves from the park, which were given as gifts.

自然がいっぱいの場所でまるでアスリートになったようでした。
慣れてくるとスキーのようにパラレルスラロームが目一杯できます。
インストラクターがオヤジギャグいっぱいで楽しい二時間を過ごしました。
お茶、お菓子の休憩時間には公園の葉っぱを使ってバッタやアクセサリーを作成プレゼントしてくれました。

At every destination, the guide is waiting for you, so you can enjoy yourself without any prior research. If you think about going on your own, visiting three islands in one day would be impossible, so I recommend it for those who want to go to various places even if time is limited! I took my 1 year and 7-month-old child, and since there isn't much walking involved, they seemed to have a great time. I think it's a plan that works perfectly even with small children.

行く先々でガイドさんが待ってくれているので、何の下調べをしなくても楽しめる。自分たちだけて行こうと思うと1日に3島もめぐるのは無理だと思うので、時間はないけど色々行きたい！って人にはオススメ。1歳7ヶ月の子供を連れて行ったが、そんなに長時間歩くこともないので楽しそうにしていた。小さな子供がいても全く問題ないプランだと思う。

Iriomote Island's mangrove tour was cut short due to the low tide, which was disappointing. On Taketomi Island, I previously experienced a glass-bottom boat, but this time it was a bus tour and a stroll in an ox cart, so I finally feel like I understood some of the charm of Taketomi Island. Next time, I want to consider not just a day trip but also an overnight stay.

西表島は引き潮の関係でマングローブのツアーが途中までだったので残念でした。
竹富島は前回はグラスボートでしたが、今回はバス見学と牛車での散策だったので、やっと竹富島の良さの一部が判った気がします。次回は日帰りツアーだけで無く宿泊も考えたいです。

I think it's great for first-time island hopping as it allows you to efficiently visit each island. The water buffalo cart experience was delightful, as the buffalo's face was so charming and soothing. On Taketomi Island, we explored various places by renting bicycles. It's recommended because you can go wherever you want and at your own pace.

各離島に効率よくまわれて、初めての離島めぐりには良いと思いました。
水牛車体験は水牛の顔が愛らしくて、とても癒されました。
竹富島ではレンタルサイクルで各地をまわりました、自分の行きたいところに行けるし、自分たちのペース配分で行けるのでオススメです。

Each group is assigned a guide, so we received attentive care. It was easy to reach the Blue Cave by boat, and I was pleased to have a hot shower. The weather was great, so I was very satisfied.

グループごとにガイドさんが付いてくれるので、きめ細かくケアしてもらえました。船で青の洞窟近くまで行けるので楽チンで、温水シャワーもうれしかったです。天気もよかったので大満足です。

I felt that it was worth coming to Ishigaki just for this. Perhaps it's one of the best places in the world for star observation? It was even more amazing than the Big Island of Hawaii. The guide's explanations were great, and I believe it was definitely worth the money I paid.

これだけで石垣に来た甲斐があったと思いました。
恐らく、星の観測では世界一に近い場所では？ハワイ島よりも凄かった。ガイドの説明も良くって、お金を払った価値は充分あったと思っています。

The cave itself is wonderful. If you don't mind bumping into other tourists on your way in and out, it's a great not-too-long activity. There was a huge line to take a photo in the bluest part of the cave, so me and my boyfriend decided to have our guide take our photo in another spot (still insanely gorgeously blue) so we could spend the rest of the time snorkeling.

What I liked aside from the cave were two things: first, they give you "esa" (bait) and you just hold your hand out and the fish come to you! The next thing was that everyone's guide has this really nice underwater camera and they take photos of you the whole time, like 100. You can download them on to your phone and they also give you a CD at the end for free. Beautiful photos, great for couples.

After 30 years, I visited Okinawa. My husband went diving, and I was wondering what to do, so I searched and found the tour I participated in. Reading other people's experiences, I wondered if it would be okay to join alone, but on the day of the tour, everyone else was also participating solo, which made me feel relieved. We headed straight north to Cape Hedo, trekked at the power spot of Daisekirinzan, enjoyed a luxurious lunch with a view of the pristine white sandy beach, and visited the Churaumi Aquarium. The bus was comfortable, allowing for a pleasant sightseeing experience! Since everyone else was also participating alone, we enjoyed a lunch buffet together, chatting in a mix of English and Japanese, and the day flew by. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Okinawa!

30年ぶりに訪れた沖縄。旦那さんはダイビングへ、、さて私は何をしましょうかと色々と探して見つけた今回参加したツアーでした。他の方の体験談を読んで１人参加でも大丈夫？？と思いながら当日の参加した皆さん１人参加で何だかホッとしてしまいました。辺戸岬まで一気に北上〜トレッキングで大石林山パワースポット〜豪華で真っ白な砂浜を眺められるランチそして美ら海水族館。。
バスはゆったり座れて快適な観光が出来ました！
他の方ともお互い１人参加なので一緒にランチブュッフェを食べて英語とも日本語混ざりながらもおしゃべりしながらのあっという間の1日でした。
沖縄を満喫出来ました！

The maintenance of the rental bicycle was lacking, and the tires were too deflated, making it very difficult to ride on the sandy road.

レンタルサイクルの自転車のメンテナンスが今一つで、タイヤの空気が抜け過ぎていたため、道路が砂地なので、とても乗りにくかった。

This was my second time, and the staff at Tomori Cycle were very helpful. I would like to use Tomori Cycle again next time.

2度目でしたが、友利サイクルスタッフ全員の対応がとても良かった。
次回も友利サイクル指定で利用したいと思います。

That was my first experience with Veltra. Well organized, enough time to see the Churaumi aquarium. Nago pineapples are awesome. First time I was given a small gifts during an excersion, RADO provider was excellent.

As a memorable surprise event for our wedding anniversary, I made a reservation without my wife's knowledge! She was overjoyed, especially moved by the anniversary cake. Thank you for the wonderful travel memories.

結婚の記念に何か記憶に残るサプライズイベントとして、妻に内緒で予約しました！妻は、大喜びでした特に記念日ケーキには感動していました。
良い旅の記念をありがとう

While the children were on their school trip, the parents also started planning their own trip, and it was decided that they would go to Okinawa with this tour. The attractions were concentrated, and the inclusion of light snacks made it a very convenient tour for housewives.

子供達が修学旅行に行っている間に、親たちも修学旅行へと話が進み、沖縄行き決定でこちらのツアーへ。
観光地が凝縮されていて、更に軽食付きで主婦にありがたいツアーでした。
