All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

We had a great time although the guide spoke only japanese (and the Bus video was in chinese).
The aquarium is just great, the other stops were nice but not too important ;)
If you are hungry westeners like us, bring something to eat (or buy at the aquarium cafe) because lunch will not fill your stomach.

For this price I can highly recommend the tour :)

My mother participated in a tour that included the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium for her first trip to Okinawa. She was of course moved by the aquarium, but she was also very happy with the butterflies at the Ryukyu Castle Butterfly Garden. The price was reasonable, and I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to the elderly.

母が初めての沖縄旅行のため、美ら海水族館があるツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館はもちろん感動してましたが、それ以外に琉球城蝶々園の蝶にとても喜んでました。
金額的にもお手頃で、子供からお年寄りまで楽しめるツアーと思います。

Everything went efficiently and smoothly. It was a great experience.

There were no stickers like those commonly found on group tours, and we received tickets at each location.

The free time was very short, so I wouldn't recommend it for families with small children or elderly people.

Since it was early March, the weather could be good or bad depending on the day. If it rains, the tour would be completely unenjoyable.

During the morning cruise on the Nakagawa River, it was cloudy and very cold, and even with multiple layers, it was tough.

In the afternoon, the cycling on Taketomi Island was under clear skies, and it was warm enough to wear a T-shirt and sandals.

効率よく、スムーズにいくことができました。いいとこどりです。
団体ツアーによくあるシールを貼ることもなく、行く場所でそれぞれチケットを切ってもらいます。
自由行動の時間はとても短く、ゆったりすることはできませんので小さなお子様連れの方やお年寄りにはおすすめできないと思います。
3月初旬ということもあり、天気次第で良くも悪くもなります。雨が降ったら楽しさは全くないツアーでしょう。
今回は、午前の仲間川クルージングは曇りでとても寒く、何枚も重ね着をしても辛かったです。
午後の竹富島サイクリングでは、快晴でＴシャツにサンダルでもいける天気でした。

This is a standard optional tour in Okinawa. I recommend it if you're visiting Okinawa for the first time. The aquarium is impressive and very enjoyable.

こちらは普通に沖縄の定番オプショナルツアーですね。初めて沖縄を訪問で有ればオススメです。水族館は見応え有りとても楽しいです

I was very satisfied with the tour that took us to major sightseeing spots like Manza Beach, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Among them, the kindness of the guide and the driver left a strong impression on me. Since we were staying at a hotel not in Naha City, we planned to leave at Nago Pineapple Park and head to our hotel from a nearby bus stop. However, the guide and driver kindly researched a closer bus stop for us and offered to take us there since we would pass by it on our way back. It was a tour that moved me with the stunning views of Okinawa and the warmth of its people. Thank you very much.

万座毛、古宇利島、美ら海水族館など主要の観光地を巡れるツアーで、とても大満足でした。中でも、ガイドさんとドライバーの方の優しさがとても印象的でした。私達は、那覇市内でないホテルに宿泊する為、ナゴパイナップルで離脱し、その付近のバス停からホテルへ向う予定でしたが、ガイドさんとドライバーの方が、より近いバス停をわざわざ調べて下さり、帰路にそのバス停を通るから、と親切に送って下さいました。沖縄の絶景と人の温かさに感動したツアーでした。本当に有難うございました。

I was picked up right from my hotel and dropped there back on time. It was a hassle free experience where we did not need to worry about ticket purchase and transportation. It covers a about 4-5 different places but the highlight for us was the dolphin show near Churaumi aquarium. Do not miss it!

The only downside was that though there was a tour guide in the bus, she barely spoke any english. But she gave us an audio guide with commentary in english.

Overall, I did not feel rushed at any of the tourist spots and felt that we made good use of our time. I highly recommend this tour.

I participated with three friends. There were only a few Japanese people, including us. The guide was also a foreigner. The tour was conducted in both English and Japanese, and key points were covered with guide tour earphones. I appreciated the straightforward guidance without too much interference. Thank you, Dominic. Since there were many foreigners, I was slightly worried about whether we could stick to the schedule, but there was no need for concern.

友人3人で参加しました。日本人は私達を含めても数人。ガイドも外国人でした。英語と日本語でのガイドで要所はガイドツアーイヤホンでした。あっさりとしたガイドで干渉されないところが良かったです。ドミニクさんありがとうございました。外国人が多いので時間どおり工程をこなせるか、若干心配でしたが、心配無用でした。

For a first-time visitor to Okinawa like myself, this was a fun choice. At the aquarium I saw the dolphin show and took part in the deep sea experience, so was running around a bit but was pleased. I wasn't expecting much from the soba lunch, but it was tasty.

<Translated by Veltra.com>

Great price for tour with four stops. Realize pressed for time so stop at glass factory really short. Free soba lunch was a nice bonus. Only major complaint was couldn't get recorded tour to work and couldn't hear commentary over PA system.

I participated in mid-January. It was my first trip to the Okinawa islands, but unfortunately, January is the rainy season, so there was strong wind and rain, and I couldn't do much sightseeing on the island. However, since the water buffalo loves water as its name suggests, this tour turned out to be a great memory. I would like to visit again on a sunny day next time!

1月の半ばに参加させて頂きました。
初めての沖縄離島旅行でしたが、残念ながら1月は雨季ということで雨風が強く、島内の観光はほとんど出来ませんでした。
ですが、水牛はその名の通り水が大好きだということで、こちらのツアーは行ってみて良い思い出になりました。
今度は晴れた日にまた改めて行ってみたいです！

The water buffalo was interesting. Taking it easy at my own pace was quite fun. It felt amusing, as if humans were being led around. The sanshin was also very enjoyable.

水牛が、面白かったです。のんびりと自分のペースでいくのが、けっこうおもしろいです。
人間が振り回されているようで、愉快でした。また三線も、とても楽しかったです。

It was a very fulfilling and amazing trip! My main destination was the Churaumi Aquarium, but the other stops were also interesting. The itinerary was packed, and I enjoyed the tour guide's stories during the bus rides!

とても充実していて、最高の旅になりました！
お目当ては美ら海水族館だったのですが、他の立寄りスポットも面白かったです。
盛りだくさんな内容で、バス移動中の添乗員さんのお話も楽しめました！

The day I participated was fully booked, and I shared a table with others. Most of the participants were foreigners, and it felt like I was abroad. Unfortunately, the audio guidance was choppy and hard to hear. Overall, I was satisfied with the tour.

私が参加した日は満席で他の方と相席になりました。参加者はほとんど外国人で、まるで海外に来ている気分でした。音声ガイダンスは音声が途切れ途切れであまり聞き取れなかったのが残念でした。ツアー自体は満足です。

It seems that my 3-year-old was bored, but the adults enjoyed it! The schedule was quite tight, and there didn't seem to be any time for bathroom breaks.

３歳の我が子には退屈だったようですが、大人は楽しめました！
結構なタイムスケジュールで途中トイレに行く時間も無い感じです。

Since I can't drive, I used this tour that picks you up from the hotel. The time spent at the aquarium was long enough that I could see the dolphin show, and I was able to take my time exploring the exhibits, which was great. To be honest, I didn't think the pineapple park was necessary.

車の運転ができないため、ホテルでピックアップしてくれるこちらのツアーを利用しました。水族館の滞在時間が長いので、イルカのショーも見られたし、館内もわりとゆっくり見て回れたので良かったです。正直なところ、パイナップルパークはなくてもよかったです。

This was my second visit to Taketomi Island, while it was the first for the other two. After a relaxing water buffalo tour, we strolled around. I considered renting a bike, but I gave up because the weather forecast predicted rain. In the end, it turned out to be really sunny, but we were able to walk to a nearby beach, see the beautiful ocean, and enjoy delicious soki soba, which made me very satisfied. We also managed to catch a boat back at a good time, so we had a perfect day!

私は二回目2人は初めての竹富島。水牛ツアーでまったりしたあと、歩いて散策。レンタサイクル悩みましたが、天気予報が雨で断念。結局めちゃ晴れたのですが、ちかい海岸までは歩けたので、綺麗な海もみれて、美味しいソーキソバもたべて、大満足でしたね。
帰りの船もいい時間に取れて、完璧な時間が過ごせました！

I participated in a three-island tour with three classmates. It was disappointing that we couldn't go upstream because the Nakama River was at low tide. I thought it would be even better if we could be flexible, like going to Yufu Island first during low tide! Overall, I was satisfied as we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.

同級生４人で３島巡りに参加しました。
仲間川が干潮時だったので、上流まで行けなかった事が残念でした。干潮時には由布島に先に行くとかの融通が出来ると、更に良いのになぁ！と、思いました。
全体的には、のりびりと出来ましたので満足でした。

The audio guide tour is available in eight languages, so most participants are Chinese. A Japanese guide accompanies the group and instructs when to turn the audio guide on or off.

The tour visits Manzamo, Kouri Ohashi Bridge, Churaumi Aquarium, and Nago Pineapple Park in that order. Manzamo is very windy. On the day I participated, there was a storm, making sightseeing impossible. Kouri Ohashi Bridge does not have a tower to visit. I believe it would be very beautiful if the weather were clear. Churaumi Aquarium has many highlights, and we stay for three hours, which still feels a bit short. I don't feel a particular need to visit Pineapple Park, but there is an all-you-can-eat pineapple option.

It's a shame that the guide is audio-only, but I think this is the best course for a bus tour heading to the Churaumi area.

8か国語のオーディオガイドツアーなので、ほとんどの参加者が中国人です。
一応、日本人のガイドさんが同乗し、ガイドさんの指示するタイミングでオーディオガイドをつけたり、消したりします。

ツアーは万座毛、古宇利大橋、美ら海水族館、ナゴパイナップルパークの順番でまわります。
万座毛はとても風が強いです。私が参加した日は暴風雨で観光どころではありませんでした。
古宇利大橋はタワーには行きません。晴れてれば大変きれいだと思います。
美ら海水族館は見どころが多く、3時間滞在しますがそれでも少し足りないくらいです。
パイナップルパークは特に行く必要を感じませんが、パイナップル食べ放題です。

ガイドがオーディオのみなのは残念ですが、美ら海方面に行くバスツアーでは、一番いいコースだと思います。

Manza Beach, Kouri Island, Churaumi Aquarium, Pineapple Park!
It was a very satisfying tour.
I'm not good at writing, so I want to convey the fun through photos.

It might be the same for both tours and personal trips, but it's a shame that I couldn't see everything I wanted to.
However, the schedule for the tour was perfect.

I really appreciated the bus guide occasionally collecting trash.

万座毛、古宇利島、美ら海水族館、パイナップルパーク！
大満足のツアーでした。
文章書くのが苦手なので、写真で楽しさを伝えたいです。

ツアーでも個人でも同じかもしれませんが、見たいところ全部見きれなかったのが残念です。
でもツアーとしては完璧な時間割でした。

バスガイドさんが時々ゴミを回収して下さるのがとてもとても助かりました。

Very helpful tour guide. We were able to enjoy the whole trip from beginning to end although we did not speak Japanese.

I was happy to meet the whale shark. I was able to visit all the tourist spots I wanted to go to. The bus guide was very kind, which made me feel at ease while sightseeing. I'm glad I signed up for this. Thank you very much.

ジンベイザメに会えて嬉しかったです。
行きたかった観光場所にすべて行くことができました。バスガイドさんもかなり親切な方で安心して観光することが出来ました。今回申し込んで良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Everything was arranged efficiently, and there was nothing to worry about. I didn't have high expectations for the glass boat (actually, I had been diving the day before), but I was impressed by the beautiful coral at the site. The water buffalo cart was unexpectedly enjoyable, and the relaxing time swaying was wonderful. I was also surprised by the intelligence of the water buffalo. For us, who had only a short time before our return flight, the bus tour was great as it took us to wonderful places in a short amount of time.

すべて手際よく手配されており、心配なことは何もありませんでした。グラスボートはあまり期待はしていなかったのですが（実はその前の日にダイビングしていたので）、サンゴが非常に美しいポイントで感動しました。水牛車も思いのほか楽しくのんびりとゆられる時間が素敵でした。また水牛の賢さにも驚きました。帰りの飛行機まで短時間しかなかった私たちにはバス観光も短時間で素晴らしい場所に連れて行っていただきよかったです。

I wanted to participate in the bus tour that allows the longest stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, so I signed up for this tour. The timing was perfect! I had a fantastic time at the aquarium! I received souvenirs at both Pineapple Park and the Glass Museum, which made me feel like I really got my money's worth.

The tour itself was definitely five stars in satisfaction, but I was particularly moved by the tour guide's thoughtfulness on the way back!

When I made the reservation, I requested to be dropped off at a station along the Yui Rail line after the tour, as I wanted to head to the airport on my last day in Okinawa. On the bus ride back, without me even asking, the guide kindly checked in with me, saying, "What time is your flight?" and "At this pace, I think you'll arrive around that time, so you should be fine."

Additionally, as the bus was moving, the guide came to my seat to inform me where we were and how many minutes we had left, providing us with a lot of information to ease our worries since we weren't familiar with the area.

Thanks to this, I made it to my flight without any stress, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable tour.

I am truly grateful to the tour guide from that time. I highly recommend this tour!

美ら海水族館に一番長く滞在するバスツアーに参加したかったので、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
時間もバッチリ！大満喫した水族館でした！
パイナップルパーク、ガラス館でそれぞれお土産をいただき、とーっても得した気分でした。


ツアー自体、もちろん五つ星の満足度だったのですが、
最後の帰り道、添乗員さんのお気遣いに感動しました！

予約時に、沖縄最終日のためツアー終了後空港に向かいたいので、どこかゆいレール沿いの駅で降ろしていただきたいというわがままをお願いしていました。
帰路に着くのバスの中で、こちらから聞いていないのにご丁寧に「飛行機の時間は何時でしょうか？」「この調子だと、何時頃に着くはずなので大丈夫だと思いますよ」と安心させていただきました。
加えてバスが走るごとに「今どのへんなので、あと何分くらいです」とわざわざ席まで伝えに来てくださるなど、
土地勘のない私たちを安心させようと、たくさん情報をくださいました。

おかげさまで飛行機にはもちろん間に合い、
帰り道ハラハラ感も全くなく、
楽しい楽しいツアーとなりました。

あの時の添乗員さんには、本当に感謝しています。
本当にオススメのツアーです！

The Taketomi Island tour was amazing!! The staff were kind! The content was fulfilling and I highly recommend it! My 90-year-old grandmother also enjoyed it. I would like to use it again.

竹富島ツアー最高でした！！
スタッフの方も親切でした！
内容も充実していてオススメです！
90歳の祖母も楽しめました。
また、利用したいです。

Previously, when I participated in a sightseeing bus tour in Ishigaki Island, I had a great time, so this time I decided to join alone. However, even though it was called sightseeing, it was just a bus taking us to various points. The tour guide's commentary was only coming through the earphones. I had no idea what the bus guide was doing. I felt like it would have been better to drive myself. It was disappointing that going to a completely unfamiliar place and listening to the local bus guide's stories and songs made for a boring day of travel.

以前、石垣島で観光バスツアーに参加した時、とても楽しかったので、今回もひとりで参加してみました。しかし、観光といってもただバスでポイントに連れて行ってくれるだけ。
観光ガイドはイヤホンから流れているだけ。バスガイドは何をしていたのかさっぱりわかりませんでした。これなら自分でドライブに行った方がマシのような気がしました。全然知らない土地に行って地元のバスガイドの話や歌などを聞いて旅行の予定がつまらない1日になってしまい残念です。

During the mangrove cruising on Nakama River, we suddenly encountered a heavy rainstorm, but we enjoyed a real jungle cruise! Since our child is small, we chose the glass-bottom boat, which meant we only had 15 minutes for sightseeing on Taketomi Island, which was a bit disappointing, but everything else was really enjoyable!

仲間川のマングローブのクルージングで途中、急に豪雨になりましたがリアルジャングルクルーズを楽しみました！！
子供が小さいのでグラスボートを選んだことで、竹富島の観光が15分しかなかったのが残念でしたがそれ以外はすごく満喫できました！！

I really wanted to explore by renting a bicycle, but since we had snorkeling plans in the afternoon and I was worried about the kids' stamina, we opted for a combination of bus and water buffalo cart! The kids were happy to collect star sand and see the water buffalo up close! It was close from Nitta Tourism to Nagomi Tower, so I wanted to climb it, but I gave up due to the long line... If I can visit again next time, I would love to take my time exploring by renting a bicycle.

ホントはレンタサイクルで回りたかったのですが、午後からシュノーケルの予定があって、子ども達の体力が心配だったので、バス＆水牛車の組み合わせにしました！
子ども達は星砂を拾えて、水牛さんも近くで見れて満足そうでした！
新田観光からなごみの塔まで近かったので、登りたかったんですが、すごい行列の為断念。。。
今度また訪問することが出来たら、レンタサイクルでゆっくり巡りたいです。

Since we only had one day, we couldn't take our time, but we were able to experience the main attractions. Among them, the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island and the water buffalo cart ride in Yubu Island were great. In Taketomi Island, we chose to rent bicycles. We explored the beach with star sand, Kondoi Beach, and the village. It's a small island, so it didn't take much time, and we returned to Ishigaki on the 5 PM ferry.

一日で廻るので、たっぷり、ゆっくりとはいきませんが主要なところは体験できました。中でも西表島のマングローブクルーズと由布島の水牛車が良かったです。竹富島ではレンタルサイクルをチョイス。星の砂のビーチやコンドイビーチ、集落を見てまわりました。小さい島なので、それ程時間もかからず、１７時の船で石垣へ帰りました。

In August 2015, a massive typhoon hit Ishigaki Island. The forecast indicated it would arrive over the weekend, so we originally planned our tour for Thursday. However, we received a call on Tuesday informing us that Wednesday's tour would definitely proceed, but Thursday was uncertain. We decided to move our plans up by a day and went on the tour.

To put it simply, this three-island tour was very efficient. The mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and the star sand beach of Taketomi Island were all wonderful experiences. I’ve attached some photos. Each location made for great memories. If I had to mention something, since we had a 4-year-old with us, we chose the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, but I thought that when our child is a bit older, cycling might be a nice option as well. Thank you for the great tour! I will definitely return to Ishigaki Island!

P.S. Thanks to the local people's wisdom in preparing for this record-breaking typhoon by holding back ship departures and securing outdoor potted plants, I felt that human damage was minimized.

2015年8月、石垣島に巨大な台風がやってきました。週末に来るぞ～という予報で、元々木曜日にこちらのツアーを予定しておりましたが、火曜日にお電話をいただき、水曜は確実に催行するが木曜はわからない、とのこと。一日早めていただき、行ってまいりました。
一言で言いますと、この3島めぐり、とても効率がいいですね。
西表島のマングローブ、由布島への水牛車、竹富島の星砂浜、写真をのせておきます。
どれもとてもよい記念になりました。あえて言えば、竹富島での選択は、うちは4歳児がいたので水牛車という選択でしたが、もう少し大きくなってからであれば、サイクリングなどもいいかな、と思いました。よいツアーを有難うございました。また石垣島、行きます！
p.s.観測史上最大となった今回の台風に備えて、船の出港を控えたり、屋外の植木鉢を倒して縛ったりしていた現地の皆さんの知恵のおかげで、人的被害は最小限に食い止められていたと感じました。合掌。

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。
