All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

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。

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。

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^_^

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

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 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。

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。

It was great that I could choose the time for both going and returning, making it easy to plan my schedule. I chose to ride a water buffalo and rented a bicycle individually!! I had always wanted to ride a water buffalo, so it was nice to spend a leisurely and relaxed time. If you're looking to explore the island within a limited time, a bicycle is very convenient!! Taketomi Island was truly a beautiful place with lovely townscapes and clear seas; I want to go again!!

行きも帰りも時間が選べる所が予定が組みやすくて良かったです。
私は水牛を選択し、個人でレンタサイクルを借りました！！
水牛はずっと乗ってみたかったのでのんびりゆったりとした時間が過ごせて良かったです。
時間が限られている中で、島中を回るのであれば、自転車が便利です！！
竹富島は本当に町並みも海の綺麗で素敵な所でした、また行きたいです！！

I was able to enjoy Taketomi Island without wasting time or money. I didn't have any particular troubles or confusion. I participated while pregnant, but the glass-bottom boat, water buffalo, and bus tour were all completely fine. If there are any pregnant women considering this, I highly recommend it, as the activities available on Ishigaki Island are limited.

無駄なくお得に竹富島を楽しめました。
迷う事や困った事は特にありませんでした。
妊娠中の参加でしたがグラスボード、水牛、バス観光。全く問題ありませんでした。
妊婦さんで検討されている方がいらしたら石垣島で楽しめるアクティビティは限られているので是非オススメです。

As someone who visited Okinawa for the first time, I found the guide's explanations to be very good, and I had a great time. At the aquarium, I was able to enjoy the dolphin show and the Kuroshio experience, which was a bit hectic, but I was satisfied. I didn't have high expectations for the soba, but it was delicious.

初めて沖縄に行った私にとってはガイドさんの説明もよく、とても楽しめました。水族館でもイルカショーと黒潮体験も出来てバタバタとしましたが、満足しました。おそばの方も期待していなかったのですが、美味しかったです。

I had planned to do some things in the morning, but I could only do them in the afternoon. I had originally signed up for the 14:45 water buffalo cart course, but I was able to change it to the 8:40 course at the counter on the day, which was a great help.

The water buffalo cart had a charming atmosphere and was very soothing. After that, I toured the island with a rental bicycle for 300 yen per hour, and I was satisfied with just the morning.

However, it was disappointing that the boat I wanted to take was operated by a different company, so I had to wait for almost an hour.

午前中にしたかった事が午後からしかできなくなり、14:45の水牛車コースに申し込んでいたのに当日カウンターで8:40のコースに変えていただき、助かりました。

水牛車は風情があり、とても癒されました。
そのあと一時間300円のレンタサイクルで島内を観光し、午前中だけで満足できました。

ただ、乗りたかった船の便が別の会社のものだったそうで、一時間弱待たないといけなかったのが残念でした。

I was able to slowly enjoy the beautiful streets of Taketomi Island. Since all the transportation was arranged for me, it became a very fulfilling trip.

竹富島の美しい街並みをゆっくりと楽しむことができました。移動もすべて手配いただいたため、とても充実した旅になりました。

The children enjoyed it, and it was great since it's quite far to go by car. I hope to have the opportunity again.

子供達も楽しんでくれて、なかなか車でいこうにも遠いので、よかったです。
また機会があればよろしくお願いします。

Although I was worried about the weather during the rainy season, it was sunny the whole time! I chose the three-island tour thinking my elementary school-aged children would enjoy it, and they were thrilled without getting bored thanks to the smooth flow of the tour. If I had to say something, the mangroves had a similar scenery, which seemed to bore them a bit in the second half, but they were very happy with the water buffalo and collecting star sand. I felt that lunch was a bit simple. Since the children had the same menu, I think they would have been happier if there were options like a children's lunch. On Taketomi Island, we only saw Kondoi Beach from the bus, so I wanted to go into the sea, but I was satisfied with the combination since I also booked the Phantom Island for the next day and got to enjoy the sea then. Thank you very much!

梅雨時期で天気が不安でしたが、ずっと晴れました☆小学生の子供が喜ぶだろうと３島めぐりを選んだのですが、スムーズな流れに子供達は飽きる事なく喜びました☆しいて言えばマングローブが同じ景色ばかりで後半飽きていた様ですが、水牛も星の砂拾いも大喜びでした☆お昼ご飯は少し質素に感じました。子供も同じメニューだったので、お子様ランチなど作って頂けると喜ぶと思いました。竹富島ではコンドイビーチをバスから見ただけだったので、海に入りたいとも思ったのですが、今回は次の日に幻の島も予約して海も入れたので、組み合わせとしては正解だったなと満足しております☆有難うございました。

모든 입장료가 포함이고 특히 츄라우미수족관입장료가 무료라 다른 관광버스 투어보다 좋았습니다

또한 호텔픽업까지 무료!! 최고의 조건과 최고의 가격으로 완변한 하루일정을 보냈습니다!!

마지막으로 특별한 선물과 무료식사(소바) 그리고 디져트까지 여러가지로 얻어가는 기분이라 강력하게 추천합니다! 한가지 참고는 리잔씨파크호텔에 숙소를 예약하신분은 영어표기가 잘못되어 있습니다 Regency Park Hotel 라고 되어있어 잘못된표기지만 안심하시고 예약하세요 픽업하러 옵니다^^

Great tour! Would definitely recommend this package as it had everything we wanted to do and see. Bus picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel so it was very convenient. We got lots of fun photos with the giant butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. The Churaumi Aquarium was awesome. Our guide was friendly and helpful and managed to communicate to us via English signs when to get back to the bus and what time we could go see the dolphin show. It really helped that we happened to have a bilingual traveler on our bus and he stepped in to help translate from Japanese to English. Lots of interesting pineapple products to try at Nago Pineapple Park. They gave us a mini cup to sample about 4-5 pineapple wines and you can try their pineapple cakes. On our way home, the tour guide gave everyone a little pineapple ice cream sherbet, very refreshing! Perfect end to an enjoyable day.

As a beginner in island tourism, I was glad to be able to visit many islands in a short amount of time. Although I struggled to pass the time due to the long stay on Yufu Island, the conversations and performances from the bus and water buffalo cart guides were enjoyable, and I had a great day.

離島観光の初心者だったので、短時間で沢山の島を観光出来て良かったです。
由布島での滞在時間が長すぎて時間を潰すのに苦労しましたが、バスや水牛車のガイドさんのお喋りや演奏も楽しく、良い１日を過ごせました。

It was the course as described. I had made a reservation for another day, but I decided to go two days prior and went to the counter at the remote island terminal. They smoothly changed my reservation. I had only planned to use the water buffalo cart, but I was able to rent a bicycle for just a few hundred yen more, which expanded my range of activities, and I had a great time.

記載通りのコースでした。別日に予約していたのですが、2日前に行こうと思い、離島ターミナルのカウンターへ行きました。予約の変更もスムーズにして頂けました。水牛車のみを予定としておりましたが、レンタサイクルも＋数百円程度で利用出来たため、活動範囲も広がり、とても楽しむことができました。

When we departed from Ishigaki Island, we arrived at the ferry terminal too early, but thanks to being able to board an earlier boat (departing at 8:40), we were able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. A bus was waiting at the port, and we arrived at the water buffalo cart boarding area in about five minutes. I was impressed by the intelligence of the water buffalo. I was amazed by how the boatman controlled their speed and maneuvered considering the turning radius. After that, we rented bicycles and first climbed the Nago-mi Tower, which seemed like it would get crowded, and then headed to Nishi Sanchō. After enjoying the picturesque beautiful sea, we had an early lunch to avoid the crowds. Since it gets hot during the day, I think it's best to act early. We returned to Ishigaki Island around 13:30, and we were able to fully enjoy our time.

石垣島から出発時、離島ターミナルに早く着きすぎましたが、一本早い船に乗船できたおかげ(8:40発)でゆっくり観光が出来ました。すぐ港にバスが待機しており、5分ほどで水牛車乗り場に到着しました。感動したのは水牛の賢さ。船頭さんの声かけでスピード、内輪差を考えてのコントロール等にびっくり。そのあとレンタル自転車を借りて、まずは混雑しそうななごみの塔に登り、街並みを眺めながら西桟橋へ。絵に描いたような美しい海を眺めた後、混雑を考慮して早めのランチ。日中は暑くなるので、とにかく早めの行動がいいと思います。13:30位に石垣島へ戻りましたが、充分堪能できました。

The three-island tour felt a bit rushed at first, but I was able to take my time and it was really enjoyable. I highly recommend this course.

３島めぐりは少し慌ただしいかなと思ったけれど、ゆっくり見ることができたとっても楽しかったです。オススメのコースです。

I recommend this for those who want to make efficient use of their time and for those who are visiting the islands for the first time, as it includes lunch. The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, the sightseeing on Yufu Island via water buffalo cart, and I chose the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, all of which were incredibly fun. I was particularly moved by the mangrove cruise.

効率良くまわれて、お昼のお弁当も付いてるので、時間を有効活用したい人や離島巡りが初めての人にはお勧めです。西表島のマングローブクルーズ、水牛車で渡る由布島観光、竹富島では水牛車を選択しましたが、どれもすごく楽しかったです。特にマングローブクルーズは感動しました。

My Japanese language skills are limited, so having the English audio available was great. The tour guide was friendly and very good. I enjoyed the bus tour immensely. I had an easy time finding the pick up location and was dropped off where I could get back to my hotel without getting lost. I didn't realize that Expo Land was a huge theme park until we got there. My goal, however, was to spend time at the Churaumi Aquarium and I was able to do just that. Along the way, we stopped at a few sights, including a Butterfly Museum, Pineapple Park, and Ryukyu Glass Factory. All in all, I had a great time.

Overall, it was very good.
It's a pity that the visiting time at each tourist spot was short.
I think it would have been better to extend the return time and allow more time at each location.
But I had a fun day. Thank you very much.

全体的に非常に良かったです。
各観光地の見学時間が短いのが残念です。
帰りの時間を遅くして、各所の時間を多くしたら　良かったかな
でも　楽しい１日がすごせました。有難うございます。

It was really convenient to be picked up at the hotel where I was staying. The tour was compact, but I was able to thoroughly explore the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in three hours. I also had time to enjoy the Dolphin Show.

Unfortunately, the lunch (or snack?) was quite light. The taste wasn't bad, but it was really minimal! You should think of it more as a light snack.

Additionally, there were some foreign participants (maybe from China) who tended to be late for the meeting time. Perhaps it's a cultural thing. In the end, our return was delayed by more than 30 minutes. It's something to be cautious about.

宿泊していたホテルでピックアップしてもらえるので本当に便利でした。
コンパクトにまとまっていますが、美ら海水族館も3時間でたっぷり見学できました。オキちゃん劇場もゆっくり見ることができました。
残念なのは昼食（軽食？）です。味は悪くありませんが、本当に軽いです！ちょっとおやつ程度と思った方がいいです。
それから、外国の方（中国人かな）が参加していたのですが、集合時間に遅れがちです。お国柄でしょうか。結局帰着予定が30分以上延びてしまいました。要注意です。
