All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

A classic island-hopping tour around Ishigaki Island includes a round trip on a water buffalo cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island, a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River, and free time on Taketomi Island. The ferry, sightseeing bus, and lunch were all efficiently arranged. I had booked accommodation on Taketomi Island, so I disembarked at Taketomi Port, but I appreciated the flexibility of being able to explore as much as possible in a short amount of time, which is great for someone traveling alone and wanting to see various sights.

The trip from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island was on the tour operator's own boat, the Super Dream, which provided a spacious and comfortable journey. The staff at the port were also very kind and provided thorough explanations during the check-in process.

西表島〜由布島へ水牛車で往復、マングローブ群生の仲間川遊覧、竹富島でのフリータイムという石垣島周辺の離島巡りの定番ですが、渡船〜観光バス〜昼食が効率よくうまく手配されていました。私は竹富島で宿を取っていたので竹富港で離団しましたが、こういう融通がきくところも一人旅でも出来るだけ色々見てみたいという欲張りには短い時間を十分に観光に使えありがたかったです。

石垣島〜西表島〜竹富島は、ツアー催行会社(石垣島ドリーム観光)の持ち船スーパードリーム号で、大きく居心地の良い船旅でした。また港での受付も丁寧な説明で係の方々も親切でした。

I came to Ishigaki Island and, since I was here, I wanted to explore other islands in the Yaeyama region, so I signed up for this three-island tour. We took a boat to explore the mangrove forests of Iriomote Island, rode a water buffalo cart for 400 meters to Yubu Island, where we were soothed by subtropical plants, enjoyed a buffet lunch featuring Okinawan cuisine, and then moved on to Taketomi Island. Here, we also rode a water buffalo cart and spent a leisurely time admiring the red-tiled roofs. During the ride, our guide played the sanshin and sang Okinawan songs, making me feel like I was truly in Okinawa. The entire course included explanations, allowing us to learn many things that we wouldn't have known just by exploring on our own, making it a satisfying tour.

石垣島旅行に来、せっかくなので八重山の他の島も巡ってみたいと思い、この3島ツアーに申し込みました。ボートでの西表島のマングローブ林巡り、400m水牛車に乗って由布島(ゆぶじま)に渡り、亜熱帯植物に癒され、沖縄ごはんのブュッフェランチをとり、竹富島に移動。ここでも水牛車に乗って赤瓦の屋根屋根を眺めつつゆっくりとした時間を過ごせました。水牛車ではガイドの方が三線を弾きながら沖縄の歌を歌ってくださり、沖縄に来た～と思えます。コース全てに渡って解説がつくので、個人で巡るだけでは知ることの出来ないことをたくさん学べたりもでき、満足なツアーでした

The purpose was to hike at Asumu, but I think it was a very worthwhile tour as we also visited the related Stone Museum, Cape Hedo, Shikuwasa Park, had lunch at the very popular Kunigami Shokudo, and finally made it to Kouri Island. I was worried at first because the weather was rainy, but it cleared up at Cape Hedo, and I was glad we could hike without any issues.

目的はアスムイハイクでしたが、関連のストーン美術館、辺戸岬、シークァーサーパーク、ランチは大人気の国頭食堂、最後は古宇利島まで行けて大変お得なツアーだと思います。天気が最初雨で心配でしたが、辺戸岬ではなんとか上がり、ハイクも問題なくできてよかったです。

The highlight of this tour was definitely the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, which was fantastic. I was impressed by the guide's explanations and assistance. I recorded the shamisen performance on the water buffalo cart, so I'll be listening to it again and again. For Taketomi Island, I chose the bus tour, which made it easy to explore various places, and it was perfect for older travelers.

このツアー最大の期待だった西表島マングローブクルーズがとっても良かった。ガイドさんの説明や対応も感動しました。水牛車の三味線演奏も動画撮影したのでちょくちょく聴き直します。竹富島はバスツアーを選んだで楽に色々廻れて年配者にには最高でした。

Yubu Island and Taketomi Island both had plenty of free time for independent activities, which allowed for a personal experience that was fantastic. The photos taken with the cows turned out to be unexpectedly wonderful, and I couldn't help but purchase them.

由布島も竹富島も自由行動時間がたっぷりで、自分なりの体験が出来、最高でした。
牛と一緒に撮った写真が思いのほか素敵で…思わず購入しました。

I understood that the schedule was tight, but I felt that the tour guide was too anxious, which showed in their words and expressions. I realize that there were many people from overseas and of different ages, making it challenging, but I wished they could have handled it with a bit more calmness. Regarding masks, while I don't mind if someone chooses to wear one based on their own judgment, it felt a bit like moral coercion when they talked about it at length. Coexisting with infectious diseases is tough, but I think the attitude of a school teacher should be reconsidered. This is a tour meant for having fun.

スケジュールがタイトなことはわかっていましたが添乗員さんが焦りすぎで言葉にも表情にも感情がですぎだったと思います。海外のかたも多く年代もバラバラなので大変なのはわかりますがもう少し落ち着いて対応して欲しかったです。またマスクについて自分の判断で着けていることはかまいませんがながながと話して道徳的強制のように感じました。感染症と共存していくことは大変ですが学校の先生のような態度は少し考え直して欲しいと思いました。楽しく過ごすためのツアー参加です。

I spent a day exploring the northern part of Okinawa, and although we couldn't spend much time at each location, it was enjoyable. However, it was unfortunate that we couldn't have lunch due to the limited time at the tourist spots. I had heard comments suggesting that it would have been better to buy rice balls and drinks to eat on the bus, and I wish I had done that.

沖縄北部を1日かけて、観光できるため、個々の場所が時間かけれないけど楽しかったです。
ですが、観光地で限られた時間のため、昼食は取れないのが、残念でした。おむすびと飲み物を買ってからバスで食べる方が良いとコメントがあったため、そのようにすれば良かったな。

I was able to efficiently visit the islands. I rented a bicycle, but it seemed like the frame was bent, making it very difficult to ride and unstable. Since it had been decades since I last rode a bike, I initially thought it was just because I wasn't used to it. However, upon reflection, I realized that the handlebar setup and seat angle were in very poor condition. I regret not asking for a change right from the start.

非常に効率よく島々を廻れました。
レンタサイクルを借りましたが、フレームが曲がっているようで非常に乗りにくく安定した走りが出来ず苦労しました。
何十年ぶりに自転車に乗ったので、初めは慣れていないからかな？と思っていましたが冷静に考えてみるとハンドルのセッティング・座席の角度等非常に整備業況が悪いです。
最初に変更を望めば良かったと反省しきりです。

The day before, it was raining on and off, but on this day, there was wind, and it was sunny with beautiful colors in the sea. During the mangrove tour, I enjoyed the guide's fun stories and explanations about the types of mangroves. It was something I don't get to see often, so I'm glad I came. It turned out to be an amazing day.

前日は雨が降ったりやんだり、この日は風はあるけど晴れて海の色も綺麗でした
マングローブのでは、ガイドさんの楽しい話しとマングローブの種類の説明を聞いて楽しかったしなかなか見られるものでは無いので来て良かった
最高な日になりました。

The tour participants were a mix of Japanese and international guests. The guide was fluent in English, so I think the overseas guests had no difficulties. I have visited Okinawa many times, but I rarely get to go to the northern part, so it was a great tour.

We arrived at the Minato Kunigami Port Shokudo around 10:30, but since it opened at 11:00, we could only kill time wandering around the beach in front of the restaurant. The lunch was a hearty set meal, so I ended up quite full.

The weather wasn't great, and I was worried about getting caught in the rain during the Asumui Hikes, but it cleared up partway through, which was a relief. We walked over rocky and uneven terrain, so it would have been slippery if it had rained. I think it would be quite a hard path for elderly people or those with weak legs. The scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the sounds of birds chirping, the rustling of trees and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers. You can take your time walking or speed up to see everything. Although I didn't get to see the Okinawa Rail, there weren't any noisy participants in the tour, so I could enjoy the quiet sounds of nature and the fresh air.

On this day, the restroom breaks were at the Roadside Station Kyoda on the way there and at the Igei Service Area on the way back. The Roadside Station Kyoda is spacious, but you have to walk from the restroom to the souvenir shop, so shopping might not be feasible. I thought it would have been nice if we could stop at the small shop at Igei. I wish they could have scheduled some shopping time at both Kyoda and the service area, as that would have made it even more enjoyable. We also went to Cape Hedo, but the large statue of the Okinawa Rail was located a bit far away, so we couldn't see it up close (what a shame).

Fortunately, we managed to return to Naha City around 6:30 PM without getting caught in any traffic. Since it was a tour, we adhered strictly to the schedule. Everyone participating was punctual, so everything went smoothly. It was a full-day tour, but we were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner in Naha City at night, making it a fulfilling day.

ツアー参加者は日本の方と海外の方と混在でした。
ガイドの方は英語が堪能なので海外の方も不自由ではなかったかと思います。
沖縄には何度も訪問していますが、なかなか北部までは行くことが出来ないので良いツアーでした。

みなと国頭港食堂には１０時半頃着いてしまい、１１時～とのことだったので食堂前のビーチをうろうろするくらいしか時間を潰せませんでした。
お昼ご飯はしっかり定食でしたのでおなかがいっぱいになりました。

天候がいまいちだったのでアスムイハイクスで雨に降られたらどうしようと思いましたが、途中から晴れてきたので良かったです。
岩場や足場の悪いところを歩いて行くので、雨が降ったら滑りそうでした。
年配の方や足腰の弱い方は結構ハードな道だと思います。
景観も素晴らしいですが、鳥のさえずりや木々や葉の音、花の香りも楽しめます。
ゆっくり歩くもよし、早歩きで全部を回るもよしです。
ヤンバルクイナにはもちろん逢えませんでしたが、ツアー参加の方も騒がしい方が居なかったので、ゆっくり静かな自然の音や空気を楽しむことが出来ました。

この日のトイレ休憩は往路が道の駅許田、復路が伊芸ＳＡでした。
道の駅許田は広いしトイレから土産物店まで歩いて行かないといけないので買い物はダメでしょうが、伊芸は小さいので売店に寄らせてくれても良いのにな…と、ここだけお願いポイントでした。許田もＳＡも買い物時間含めてスケジュールを組んでくれたら、また楽しいのになと思いました。
あとは辺戸岬に行ったけれど、大きいヤンバルクイナの像はチョット離れたところにあるので、近くで見られませんでした（残念）

運良く何処でも渋滞にも巻き込まれずに那覇市内に１８時半頃には戻ってこれました。
ツアーなので時間厳守で進みました。参加された方が皆さん厳守されていたので順調にすすみました。
１日ツアーでしたが夜は那覇市内でゆっくりご飯が食べられるので充実の１日となりました。

I was actually worried that I might not have enough time or that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I was tired, but the bus guide was kind and made the departure times easy to understand and very helpful!

実際時間足りないかも、とか疲れてて楽しめないかなって思ってたけど
バスガイドさん優しくて出発時刻とかも分かりやすくて親切だった！

After making a web reservation, the ticket reception and boarding for the ferry and bus were smooth. The water buffalo was a good and cute one. If the weather had been nice, it would have been the best experience. Thank you very much.

WEB予約後、チケット受付もフェリーやバス乗車もスムーズ。水牛は良い子で可愛かったです。
天気が良ければ最高の体験でしたね。
ありがとうございまさした。

The weather was nice during the mangrove tour, and since we were on the first boat, there were no waves, and the water surface looked like a mirror, reflecting the trees beautifully. I was very moved and was able to take some stunning photos.

On the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed hearing stories about the water buffalo and the island from our guide, making the journey fun.

For lunch, I had local food, but it didn't quite suit my taste.

In Taketomi Island, we toured by bus, but the time was short and it felt rushed; I wished we had more time.

マングローブ遊覧で天気が良く先頭の船だったので、波も無く水面が鏡の様で木々が水面に映り、美しい写真が撮れてとても感動しました
水牛車は、ガイドさんから水牛や島の話しを聞き楽しく移動が出来ました
昼食は地元の物を食べれたがあまり口に合わなかった
竹富島ではバス観光で廻ったが、時間が短く忙しなくもっと時間が欲しかった

This time, I had a wonderful trip thanks to an amazing female guide. I appreciate her detailed guidance and consideration for my health, which helped me manage my condition perfectly.

The bus tour to the place was even more wonderful than I imagined, and it was very meaningful without any time loss.

If I had to wish for something, I would like to spend more time at the location, but I understand that the congestion on the way back is quite severe, so I am satisfied.

今回は素晴らしい女性のガイド様に出会えて大変素晴らしい旅になりました。
きめ細やかなご案内、時間の周知のおかげで、体調管理にも万全のご配慮をいただき感謝します。

想像以上に素晴らしい場所へのバスツアーは、
時間的なロスもなく、大変有意義でした。

欲を言えば、現地でゆっくり過ごしたいですが、
やはり帰路の混雑が凄いので、納得しております。

This tour is very time-efficient as it allows you to visit places that are not easily accessible by public transportation, and it also prepares everything for you, such as ticket purchases, without the need to wait in line.

なかなか、公共の交通機関ではいけない場所を効率的にまわれ、またチケット購入など並ぶ事なく準備していただけるこのツアーは大変時間的な効率も良いです。

It was very good. I understood the meeting place, but the vehicle on the day was not the Celulian Blue-wrapped bus that was mentioned as a landmark. The guide was calling out the names of the participants, but their voices were mostly drowned out by the noise of passing cars, which caused a delay in the participants' responses and made the gathering take longer than expected. The tour went smoothly, but there were some people who were late each time for the meeting. The guide was very kind and always had a lovely smile. The driver also drove safely, and I truly appreciate their hard work. It was a great trip. If I have the opportunity again, I will definitely use your services. Thank you very much.

とても良かったです。集合場所は分かりましたが当日の車両が、目印と書いてあった、セルリアンブルーさんのラッピングバスではなかったのと、ガイドさんはずっと参加者の名前を呼んでくれていましたが、通行している車の音にかき消されて、ほとんど聞こえなかったため参加者の反応が遅れ、集合に時間が掛かったように思います。ツアーは順調でしたが、集合時間に毎回遅れる方がいました。ガイドさんはとても親切で、いつも笑顔で素敵でした。ドライバーさんも安全運転で本当にお疲れ様でした。良い旅行になりました。また機会がありましたら利用させて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。

We were pulled by a cute water buffalo, and the guide shared interesting and amusing stories about Taketomi Island. It was a wonderful experience where we could feel the flow of time on the island.

可愛い水牛に引っ張ってもらって、ガイドさんが竹富島の説明を面白おかしくお話してくれます。島の時の流れが感じられ、素敵な体験でした。

We took a walk around the village while receiving explanations! It was great to explore Taketomi Island and learn about its charm rather than just visiting as a tourist! Although it was unfortunately rainy, we still enjoyed the water buffalo!

説明をしてもらいながら集落を散歩しました！観光でくるより竹富島なら良さを知りながら回れたのでよかったです！あいにくの雨でしたが水牛は楽しめました！！

I was looking forward to the tour, but unfortunately, it rained...
Riding a bike in a poncho on Taketomi Island was tough.
Surprisingly, the bike tires got stuck in the sand.
However, the ride on the ox cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu was fun.
The water buffaloes were working hard.
Also, the bus driver's stories during the ride were entertaining.
Even with the bad weather, it was a tour that I enjoyed in its own way.
Thank you very much.

楽しみにしてたツアーですが、生憎の雨・・・。
竹富島では、ポンチョ着てのチャリは、しんどい。
意外に砂地にチャリのタイヤが取られる。
でも、西表島⇒由布の牛車は楽しかった。
水牛さんたちが頑張ってました。
また、移動のバスの運転手さんのお話が面白かったです。
天候が悪くてもそれはそれで楽しめたツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since renting a car would be a waste for just one person, I joined a bus tour. The whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. At the café in front of the aquarium, you can enjoy a meal while watching the fish. I also opted for the steak full course, which was delicious.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、レンタカーは一人だともったいないのでバスツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館のジンベイサメは素晴らしかったです。水槽の前のカフェでは食事しながら魚がみれます。またステーキフルコース付きにしたので美味しかったです。

I'm glad I was taken to the Churaumi Aquarium and Manzamo, which are difficult to reach without a car. The Pineapple Park was also larger than I expected, and I had a great time there.

車がないと行きづらい美ら海水族館や万座毛に連れて行ってもらえて良かったです。
パイナップルパークも思っていたより広くて楽しめました。

I visited the Churaumi Aquarium again because I went there 30 years ago. It was crowded with families. The Ocean Expo Park, where the Churaumi Aquarium is located, is spacious. Since the time allocated for the aquarium is about 140 minutes, it's a good idea to consider your time management while walking around. Manzamo was well-maintained along the route. Nago Pineapple Park was filled with many interesting sculptures, which was enjoyable. Since lunch is not included in the course, I think it's a good idea to bring something like rice balls. The dining places and food trucks at tourist spots were very crowded, and there wasn't enough time to eat. I bought rice balls at a convenience store and brought them with me. I participated in a plan that included a barbecue dinner. They cooked it right in front of me, and it was delicious.

30年前に美ら海水族館に行ったので、また行こうと思い美ら海水族館行きました。家族連れでいっぱいでした。美ら海水族館のある海洋博公園は広いです。美ら海水族館持ち時間140分位ですので時間配分を考慮して歩くと良いです。万座毛は順路が整備されてました。名護パイナップルパークはオブジェがいっぱいで楽しめました。昼食がコ−スに含まれて無いので、おにぎり等を持参すると良いと思います。観光地の食堂、キッチンカ−等は人がいっぱいで食べる時間有りません。私はおにぎりをコンビニで買い持って行きました。夕食焼肉ディナ-付プランで参加しました。目の前で焼いてくれて、美味しくいただきました。

On the day of my visit, it was unfortunately cloudy, but I wasn't caught in heavy rain, so I was able to enjoy myself to some extent. I explored Taketomi Island by bicycle, but I felt that I could have enjoyed it even more if I had a bit more time. The ocean was very beautiful. I definitely recommend you go and see it!

当日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、大雨には降られず、それなりに楽しめました。
竹富島は自転車で回りましたが、時間が少なくもう少しあればなお良かったかなと思います。
海はとても綺麗でした。是非行ってみてください。

Just the two of us, my son and I. Since I was anxious about driving a rental car myself, I looked for a bus tour and chose this course because I wanted to visit various places. There were many tourists from overseas participating as well, but no one spoke loudly on the bus, allowing us to relax in a quiet atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

息子と2人。レンタカーで自分で運転するのも不安だったためバスツアーを探し、色々回りたかった私はこのコースを選びました。
海外からの観光客の方もたくさん参加していらっしゃいましたが、バスの中で大きな声で話すこともなく、静かな車内でゆったり出来ました。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

This was my third visit to Yufujima, and since I visited in different seasons each time, I was able to enjoy exploring the island. There are also beachside cafes on the island, so you can spend a relaxing time there.

今回で3回目の由布島観光でしたが、それぞれ訪れた季節が違うため楽しく島内を見ることが出来ました。島内のには浜辺のカフェもあるのでゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ます。

I participated in February, and the weather was cloudy and very cold. The other participants were dressed lightly and looked very cold. It rained during the mangrove tour, but it was still quite nice. For lunch, I thought it would have been better if there were more varieties of dessert.

2月に参加し、天気が曇り空、とても寒い日で、他の参加者さんは薄着でとても寒そうでした。ただマングローブ見学の時雨が降ってたけどそれなりに良かったです。ランチはデザートがもっと種類があればいいかなと思いました。

The pre-tour guidance was well understood, and we were able to tour efficiently without any unnecessary waiting time. Each guide provided appropriate and interesting introductions to the landmarks. One disappointing aspect was that we couldn't fully enjoy the tidal flats due to the high tide. Next time, I would like to visit during low tide. Thank you very much.

事前のガイダンスもよく理解でき、無駄な待ち時間もなく効率的に周遊できました。各ガイド案内も適切かつ面白く名所等を紹介していただきました。一つ残念なことは満潮と重なったため干潟を十分に楽しめませんでした。今度は干潮時に訪れたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I traveled between Yubu Island and Iriomote Island and rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo were adorable and it was the best experience.

Also, while moving around Iriomote Island by bus, the driver was entertaining and had a clear voice, making it a great experience as well.

由布島と西表島の間の移動と竹富島内で水牛車に乗りました。水牛も可愛らしく最高でした。
また西表島内はバスでの移動でしたが、その際の運転手の方が話も面白く声も聞きやすく最高でした。

The weather was nice, and the mangrove tour and water buffalo cart experience became great memories. I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, but I felt a bit unsatisfied.

天気も良くマングローブ遊覧、水牛車体験と良い思い出になりました。竹富島はレンタサイクルを借りましたが、少し物足りなさを感じました。

I went to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The buffaloes were so cute. On the way there, an older man played the shamisen and sang, and on the way back, a woman did the same. Taketomi Island was free to explore. I rode an electric assist bicycle and enjoyed the view of the sea. We went to a café and had lychee juice and guava juice. The café was run by a French woman. I took pictures with the buffaloes on Yubu Island, and I got some really nice photos. On Iriomote Island, we saw a lot of mangroves from a cruise ship.

水牛車で由布島に行きました。牛さんが可愛いね。行きはおじさん、帰りは女性が三味線と歌を聴きました。竹富島はフリーでした。電動アシスト自転車に乗り海を見ました。カフェに行き、ライチジュースとグアバジュースを飲みました。カフェはフランス🇫🇷人の奥様がいましたね。由布島で牛さんと写真撮りました。とても良い写真が撮れました。西表島はクルーズ船でマングローブを沢山見ました。
