All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

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。

We went with my wife, our 5-year-old son, and our 10-month-old second son. First, we arrived at the port and checked in, where we received tickets with our tour number. After that, we boarded a boat heading to Iriomote Island, and upon arrival, we quickly transferred to a smaller boat to see the mangroves. It's something you can't see often in Japan, so I thought it was great. However, at that time, my eldest son said, "It's not interesting just looking at trees." That's true for kids...

After that, we took a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island for lunch, then returned to Iriomote Island and headed to Taketomi Island. On Taketomi Island, we visited a beach with star sand. The kids were thrilled and collected sand.

Afterward, we returned to the port for the glass-bottom boat. Although it was a short time, the boat rocked quite a bit, so some people might need to take measures against seasickness.

This is the flow of the tour, but there was no tour guide. Several travel companies collaborated to run the tour, and we were called by our tour number by staff at various locations. Additionally, we ended up acting together with a group from a major travel company at times.

The biggest issue was that there was hardly any free time, so there was no opportunity to change my younger son's diaper. I recommend this tour for those who want to see the highlights of this area, but if you're participating with small children, it might be burdensome or boring for them.

妻と５歳の長男、１０ヶ月の次男の４人で行きました。
まず港について受付をすると、ツアー番号が書かれたチケットを渡されます。
その後船に乗ってまず西表島に向かい、到着後直ぐに小型の船に乗り換えマングローブを観ます。国内ではなかなか見ることができないので、これは良いと思います。ただ、この時長男が「木ばっかり見ていても面白くない」といっていました。確かに子供にとってはそうですね・・・。
その後水牛車で由布島に渡り昼食→西表島に戻り竹富島へ。
竹富島では星の砂があるビーチに行きました。子供は大喜びで砂を集めていました。
その後港に戻りグラスボートへ。短時間ですが、揺れが大きいため人によっては船酔い対策が必要です。
以上がツアーの流れになりますが、添乗員はいません。複数の観光会社が共同で催行しており、その場所場所で係員にツアー番号で呼ばれます。また、部分的に大手旅行会社の団体と一緒に行動することになります。
この中で一番問題となったのは、自由時間が殆どないため、次男のおむつを替えるタイミングがなかったことです。
このエリアの見どころを纏めて回りたい方にはお勧めです、子供連れで参加する場合、小さい子程負担若しくは退屈することになるかもしれません。

As the title suggests, you can enjoy sightseeing on Taketomi Island at your own pace. In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and receive your tickets, and since the return ferry times are flexible, you can explore the island almost at your leisure. There are some ups and downs, but I recommend biking. It seems that electric bikes are also available for an additional fee.

タイトル通り好きな時間に竹富島観光ができます。朝、ホテルに迎えに来ていただき、チケットをもらえば帰りの船の時刻は自由なので、ほぼマイペースで島内を観光できます。アップダウンが少しあるけど、自転車おすすめです。追加料金で電動もあるみたい。

Cycling in the early summer weather was incredibly refreshing! Since I don't usually ride a bike, just being on one felt new and enjoyable. With free time, I was able to spend my day freely. I was a bit concerned about the tour voucher being hard to read and the bike brakes being a bit weak, but overall, I was very satisfied with my experience on Taketomi Island.

初夏の陽気の中のサイクリングは最高に気持ちよかった！
普段自転車に乗らないので、自転車に乗ること自体が新鮮でよかった。
時間もフリーなので、自由に過ごせてよい。
ツアー参加のバウチャーが見づらいところと、自転車のブレーキが甘かったのが少し気になったが、大変満足のいく竹富島となった。

Since we had a one-night schedule on Taketomi Island, we were able to change our return ferry to a time of our choice the next day. Additionally, upon arriving at Taketomi Island, a representative from the water buffalo company was waiting for us, allowing us to smoothly transition to the water buffalo experience without any confusion. During the water buffalo ride, we enjoyed the tranquil scenery of Taketomi Island in a relaxed atmosphere. The weather was great, and even though it was the end of February, it was quite warm, making me regret not bringing sunglasses and better UV protection.

竹富島に一泊のスケジュールだったので、
帰りのフェリーを翌日の好きな時間に変更して頂きました。
また、竹富島へ到着すると、水牛会社の方が待っていて下さり、迷うことなく、水牛体験へとスムーズに移動出来ました。
水牛では、ゆったりとした時間の中で、竹富島ののどかな風景を楽しめました。
お天気も良く、2月末でしたが暑いぐらいで、サングラスやUV対策をもっとしてくれば良かったと後悔したほどです。

If you want to visit Churaumi Aquarium but can't or don't want to rent your own vehicle, this tour is probably the best way to do it. Although the staff's English language abilities are minimal, they have some helpful signage and a lot of patience to help you out. The English speaking tourists were all given a headset which provided some interesting information along the drive to compensate for missing out on what the guide was saying. The additional stops: butterfly garden, Nago Pineapple Park, and glass shop were all very catered to getting you to spend more money on souveniers, but you don't have to buy anything and they were all (mildly) interesting enough that it wasn't an annoyance. Lunch is good, if a bit sparse. Bring snacks or buy some at the stops. The three hours at the aquarium is a good amount of time. Enough time to get through the whole aquarium and even catch the dolphin show or spend time at the other attractions. The staff was excellent and surprised us with a complementary pineapple sherbet at the end of the day, so that nice. They also offered to drop us off at the main shopping street or our original pick-up point, which was very convenient. Overall, I'd recommend this as a cost effective way (all the entrance frees and lunch are included) to see some of Okinawa Honto and get to the main attractions up north.

The visit took place on a cold Sunday in February. It seems that many people visit during this month because travel companies offer discounted package tours due to the often poor weather. Since the participants of these tours join in unison, the water buffalo carts are packed so tightly that you can barely move your shoulders. I wish I could have enjoyed the sightseeing with a bit more space. While it was efficient, I wonder if it's worth it to see three islands in one day like an assembly line. The scenery and atmosphere were nice, so I would like to visit again at a more leisurely pace next time.

参加は、２月の寒い日曜日でした。２月は天候も悪い日が多いとかで、旅行会社が安くパックツァーを販売するらしく、訪れる人が多いそうです。そのツァーの人たちも一斉に参加するので、水牛車も隣の人と肩が重なるくらい詰め込まれます。もう少しゆとりをもって観光したかったな。効率は良いですが、流れ作業のようにでも一日で３島見られたので良しとするかどうかですね。景色や雰囲気は良かったので次回はゆっくりと訪れたいです。

The arrangements for the boat, water buffalo cart, and glass boat were convenient as they were all done together. When they are separate, it allows for flexibility, but you have to plan everything yourself, which can be difficult when you don't have time to organize your trip. I was able to make good use of this service. The price was also better than booking them separately.

船と水牛車とグラスボートの段取りが、一括で出来て便利でした。
バラバラだと、融通がきくけど、自分で予定を段取りしないとダメなので、旅行の段取りする時間がない中活用させてもらいました。
価格も、バラバラで予約するよりお得でしたし・・・・・。

I feel like I've never had such a fulfilling trip. I had so much fun spending a whole day like this! The schedule was packed with activities one after another, and it was truly enjoyable. I will definitely use your services again. Thank you very much!

こんなに充実した旅は
なかった気がします。
それ程 楽しく丸一日過ごせました♡
次から次にスケジュールが組み込まれていて ホント楽しかったです。
また利用させて頂きます。
ありがとうございました♡♡♡

You can enjoy it every time you go! The whale sharks seen from the large aquarium are truly impressive. I recommend checking the feeding times before you go.

何回行っても楽しめる★
大水槽から見るジンベイザメは大迫力（＾◇＾）
餌やりの時間を調べて行くことをお勧めします

It was a relaxing and pleasant course. Choosing to rent a bicycle was the right decision. I was glad to be able to explore Taketomi freely.

のんびりゆったりした気持ちの良いコースでした。レンタサイクルを選び正解。自由に竹富を見て回れて良かったです。

I participated in a tour that started at 9 AM. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, but I enjoyed the cute water buffalo, the stories from the guide, and listening to songs played on the sanshin while exploring the island. Due to my flight schedule, I returned to Ishigaki Island on the 11 AM ferry, but it's a tour that can be enjoyed even in a short amount of time, so I recommend it for those who are short on time.

9時集合のツアーに参加しました。あいにく小雨でしたが、かわいい水牛とお兄さんのお話、三線をひきながらの歌を聴きながら楽しく島内をまわれました。飛行機の時間の関係で11時の船で石垣島へ戻りましたが、短時間でも楽しめるツアーですので時間のない人にもおススメです。

It was a great deal since it was already cheaper than the original price and had an additional discount. The ticket pickup at the port and the water buffalo cart ride went smoothly, and the guidance was thorough, so I had no issues at all.

The shuttle bus schedule between the port and the hotel is fixed, so be sure to check it.

元々定価より安くさらに割引されていたのでお得でした。
港でのチケット受け取りや水牛車乗車もスムーズに進めることができ、案内もしっかりしていたので困ることは一切ありませんでした。

港とホテル間の送迎はシャトルバスの時間が決まっていますので要チェックです。

I used this service for a solo trip. The stories from the bus driver during the ride and the guide on the mangrove cruise were very interesting and entertaining. The timing was just right, making it a tour that I could fully enjoy!

ひとり旅で利用しました。
バスで移動中の運転手さんのお話や、マングローブクルーズのガイドさんのお話などなど、てても面白く楽しませていただきました。
時間配分もちょうど良くて、しっかりと満喫できるツアーでした！

Even though it's called a tour, the guide doesn't accompany you the whole time, so it feels quite free. Before departure, we were given tickets for the ferry, meals, bus, and water buffalo cart, and we moved to the next location on our own. Since various tours are happening simultaneously, some people mistakenly got on the wrong bus (but the bus guide will help you find your way, so it's okay). Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience, but if I had to say something, the lunch was a bit disappointing...

ツアーと言ってもガイドさんがずっと同行する訳ではないので自由な感じです。出発前にフェリー、食事、バス、水牛車等のチケットを渡され自分たちで次の移動場所に移動する感じです。色んなツアーが並行して開催されているので自分の乗るバスを間違えてる方もいらっしゃいました(でもバスガイドさんが捜索してくれるので大丈夫です)。とても満足な内容ですがしいて言えば、昼食がイマイチだったかな・・・。

I found a traveler's experience in the comments for this course, which made me want to participate. It was exactly what I expected and very enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone thinking about taking a solo trip to a remote island. The staff was attentive, and even though I was participating alone, I felt well taken care of and had no unpleasant experiences at all. The time spent swaying in a water buffalo cart on the round trip to Yubu Island was a blissful moment I will never forget. I am grateful for this wonderful tour, as it would be quite difficult to go on my own.

このコースの書き込みに一人旅で参加した方の体験談があり、参加してみようと思いました。期待していた通りの内容でとてもよかったです。一人でぷらっと離島に行ってみようかなと思う人がいらしたら、お勧めします。スタッフの対応が丁寧で一人で参加しても心配りがあり、嫌な思いは全くしませんでした。水牛車に揺られて油布島への往復した時間は生涯忘れることができない至福の時でした。個人ではなかなか行くことが難しいので、素敵なツアーがあってよかったと思い感謝しています。

I stayed on Taketomi Island for two nights. It was great that this plan allowed me to change the dates for the round-trip ferry. I enjoyed a leisurely village stroll while being gently rocked in a water buffalo cart, and I was able to explore places like Kaiji Beach by bicycle, fully enjoying my time on Taketomi Island.

竹富島に二泊しました。このプランは、往復のフェリー利用日を前後に変えることも出来るので良かったです。水牛車にゆっくり揺られての集落散策や、自転車でカイジ浜などに足を伸ばせたり竹富島を満喫出来ました。

We traveled to Okinawa with our family during the New Year holidays. Since I don't have a driver's license, I signed up for this service, and it was fully booked and very popular. I'm glad I made the reservation early.

Everyone acted on time, so everything proceeded as scheduled. I participated with my sixth-grade and kindergarten children, and we were very satisfied as we received souvenirs as well.

I will definitely recommend this to relatives and friends who are going to Okinawa. By the way, my husband was down with a cold, so I called to cancel early on the day of the trip, and I received a half refund. That was great.

年末年始を利用し、家族で沖縄に旅行しました。車の免許が無い為こちらを申し込みましたが、満員の大盛況でした。早く予約しておいて良かったです。
皆さんが時間通りに行動してくださったので、すべて時間通りに進みました。
小６と年長の子供と参加しましたが、お土産も頂き大満足でした。
沖縄に行く親戚や友人がいたら必ずオススメします。
ちなみにパパは風邪でダウンだったので、当日早朝にキャンセルの電話をしましたら、半分返金されました。良かったです。
