All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

Due to summer vacation, each theme park was extremely crowded. At Pineapple Park, I honestly couldn't take my time to enjoy it and had to rush to buy souvenirs. Even so, my grandchild was very happy and said they had fun. Churaumi Aquarium was also as crowded as expected. Still, my grandchild said they enjoyed it. On Kouri Island, the sea was beautiful. Although we couldn't swim, it was a lovely place. However, I thought that a two-hour drive to the first theme park was a bit too long.

夏休みということもあり、各テーマパークは激混み。パイナップルパークでは正直ゆっくり見るということができず、慌ただしくお土産も慌てて買うような状況。それでも、孫は、楽しかったとおおよろこびでした。美ら海水族館も、予想通り激混み。それでも、やはり孫は楽しかったと言ってました。古宇利島では、綺麗な海。海水浴はできなかったけど、綺麗な所です。
ただ、最初のテーマパークまで2時間は、ちょっと長すぎるかなと思います。

I participated in a tour that included a glass-bottom boat.

Aside from the walking time on Yufu Island and Taketomi Island, there was little distance to walk, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the bus, boat, and water buffalo rides. The lunch on Yufu Island was surprisingly delicious.

If you don't have a plan for the free time on Taketomi Island, you might quickly run out of time. The free time on Taketomi Island was mostly taken up by the glass-bottom boat tour and the water buffalo cart (which was a personal reservation), so I couldn't visit any shops or go to the beach. For those who want to explore the island, I recommend renting a bicycle, and for those who want to take their time while viewing the houses, the water buffalo is a great option. The glass-bottom boat took us to a spot where we could see tropical fish and coral, and we were able to view them slowly while receiving explanations. I recommend it for families with small children.

This is a recommended plan for those who want to see various islands in one day but are short on time. I think it will create very good memories.

Lastly, the staff from Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism Co., Ltd. were very accommodating. Thank you for sending back the handkerchief I left on the boat. I will use your services again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

今回はグラスボートを含むツアーで参加しました。

由布島・竹富島の散策時間以外は歩く距離も少なくバスやボート、水牛での遊覧をゆっくり楽しむことができました。
由布島での昼食は意外と美味しかったです。

最後の竹富島での自由時間はプランをたててないとすぐに時間がなくなってしまうかもしれません。竹富島での自由時間はグラスボート（ツアー）＋水牛車（個人予約）でほとんど時間がなくなってしまい、お店にいったりビーチに行ったりはできませんでした。島内を散策したい人はレンタルサイクリング、　家屋をみながらゆっくり回りたい人は水牛がおすすめです。
グラスボートは熱帯魚やサンゴが見える地点まで連れて行ってもらい説明をしてもらいながらゆっくり見ることができました。小さいお子様連れの方にお勧めです。

時間がないけど1日で色んな島を見て回りたいという人におすすめのプランです。とても良い思い出になると思います。

最後に開催会社の石垣島ドリーム観光（株）様のスタッフの方の応対がとてもよかったです。船の中に忘れたハンカチを発払いで送って頂きありがとうございました。石垣島観光の際にはまた利用させていただきます。

The hotel pickup was on time. Since participants from Veltra had already paid at Ishigaki Port Terminal, we were able to board immediately without waiting in line at the counter.

The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island had thorough explanations and was very interesting. The bus driver to Yubu Island also provided a detailed sightseeing guide while driving safely. The water buffalo cart crossing to Yubu Island was leisurely, and it was a pleasant time listening to the crew's stories and island songs.

Lunch was a delicious bento in a cool, spacious restaurant. It was hot outside, but you could relax with a beer for an extra charge. There was also an ice cream shop that offered tasty treats. On the return trip, the boat stopped at Taketomi Island, where most passengers disembarked. Since we were on a two-island tour, we headed straight back to Ishigaki. The return bus had about an hour of waiting time to accommodate those coming from Taketomi, but we were free to board whenever, so we took a taxi back to the hotel as we were tired.

Overall, the timing was just right for visiting the two islands. I was very satisfied and think this is a recommended tour.

時間通りにホテルピックアップ。石垣港ターミナルではベルトラからの参加者は支払い済みなのでカウンターに並ぶことなくすぐに乗船できました。
西表島でのマングローブ遊覧は丁寧な説明がありとても面白かったです。由布島までのバスの運転手の方も丁寧に観光案内しながら安全運転でした。由布島へわたる水牛車はのんびりで、乗務員の方のお話や島唄を聞きながら心地よい時間でした。昼食は涼しい広めのレストランでのお弁当ですがとても美味しかったです。外は暑いので別料金でビール飲んでまったりできます。アイスクリーム屋さんもあり美味しいです。帰りの船は竹富島に寄り、ほとんど下船されました。我々は2島ツアーなのでまっすぐ石垣へ。帰りのバスは竹富経由の皆様に合わせているため1時間ほど時間がありますが乗車は自由とのことで、我々は疲れたのでタクシーでホテルへ戻りました。時間的には丁度よい感じで2島を回れました。とても満足できます、お勧めのツアーだと思います。

I was grateful that the tour operated even in rainy weather (cloudy with rain).

The bus guide provided a tour of the town and even sang Okinawan songs, making the bus ride enjoyable.

The trip was aimed at visiting the Churaumi Aquarium. Since it was a bit far from Naha and I was concerned about driving due to the impact of Typhoon No. 3, the sightseeing bus tour was a great help.

The efficient sightseeing tour by Veltra was stress-free. I’m glad I chose this for my first experience. I hope they will increase the day trip routes in Okinawa. Thank you to the bus guide and the driver.

雨天(曇りのち雨)でも催行してくれたので助かりました。

バスガイドさんが町並みをガイドしてくれて、沖縄の歌を歌ってくれたりしてバスに乗ってるだけでも楽しめました。

『美ら海水族館』目的の旅でした。
那覇から距離が少しあるのと、台風３号の影響でレンタカーで行くのは不安でしたので観光バスツアーは助かりました。

効率良く観光できるベルトラのツアーはストレスフリーでした。
初めてでしたがお願いしてよかったです。
沖縄日帰りの観光ルートを増やして欲しいです。
バスガイドさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。

It's unfortunate that the bus arriving at "Kencho-mae" was delayed. There were no issues on board. The guidance upon arrival at the location was also good.

仕方ありませんがバスの到着が遅れた「県庁前」のが残念。車内はなんら問題無し。現地着いてからも案内は良かったです。

The bus took us to the main tourist spots in Okinawa. Since it was my first time visiting Okinawa, I made a reservation because I wanted to go to various places.

It was a long journey since we boarded from Naha, but I enjoyed the bus guide's explanations and the scenery of Okinawa from the bus! I was a bit worried about not having time for lunch, but I was able to snack on some food at the stops, so it turned out fine even without a designated lunch time. I had some sata andagi and pineapple, among other things.

Although the weather was cloudy due to a typhoon, I was amazed by the color of the sea! I had gone snorkeling the day before, so I enjoyed seeing "the fish I saw yesterday!" at the aquarium!

I think researching the places we stopped at would make it even more enjoyable. Thank you very much!

バスで沖縄の主要な観光地に連れて行ってくれます。沖縄へ初めて訪れるのでいろいろな場所に行きたいなと思い予約しました。
那覇から乗車でしたので長旅にはなりましたが、バスガイドさんの説明や車内から沖縄の景色を楽しめました！
お昼ご飯を食べる時間が予定になく、どうなるかなと思っていましたが、立ち寄るところでちょこちょこ食べていたら、お昼ご飯の時間がなくても大丈夫でした。サンダーアンダギーやパイナップルなどなど食べました。
台風が来ていたので、天気は曇りでしたが、海の色に感動しました！
前日にシュノーケリングをしたので、水族館では「昨日見た魚がいる！」と楽しめました！
立ち寄る場所は、どんなところか調べているともっと楽しめると思います♪
ありがとうございました！

The mangroves were not the picturesque scene I expected when I took a sightseeing boat during high tide. I should have gone during low tide. It was disappointing. I had a strange experience with water coming into the ox cart.

The glass-bottom boat in Taketomi Island was more impressive than the one I took in Miyako Island, as I could see coral reefs and other sights. If possible, I would have preferred to see them through snorkeling instead.

マングローブは満潮の時に観光船に乗ったので写真で見るような光景ではなかった。干潮の時に行くべきだった。残念。牛車に水が入って来て不思議な体験をした。
竹富島でのグラスボートは宮古島で乗った時よりサンゴ礁等が見れて感動した。出来ることなら越してではなくシュノーケリング等で観たかった。

It was a day trip to Iriomote Island.
The high-speed boat was comfortable without any shaking.
Due to high tide, we could hardly see the mangroves during the mangrove cruise.
On the way back, it was low tide, but the significant difference in tide levels was clearly visible from the bus window. The water buffalo cart crossing to Yubu Island had seawater coming in at our feet, and there were cheers from the people riding.
Renting bicycles on Taketomi Island was fun because we could go wherever we liked.

I was impressed that it wasn't as hot as I had expected.

西表島の日帰りツアーでした。
高速船の揺れもなく船は快適でした
マングローブ遊覧は満潮のためマングローブはほとんど見えませんでした、
帰りは干潮だったのですが、ただ、潮の干満が大きいのはバスの窓からでもよくわかりました。由布島の渡る水牛車も足元に海水が入ってきて乗ってる方たちの歓声？もありました
竹富島のレンタサイクルは自分の好きなところへ行けるので楽しかったです。

思っていたより厚くなかったのが印象的です

I was able to fully enjoy the two islands of Iriomote Island and Yufu Island. The mangrove cruise on the Nakama River was breathtaking! Also, riding the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island is an experience that can only be had in the Yaeyama Islands. Depending on the plan, there are also options to tour Taketomi Island afterward, where there seems to be a course that includes riding the water buffalo cart as well. For couples in their 60s and 70s like us, it was nice to return to Ishigaki Island by 2:30 PM and then have a little rest at the hotel afterward. The intense summer heat took quite a toll on our stamina. I recommend the course that visits three islands for younger travelers.

西表島と由布島の2島だけでしたが、たっぷりと満喫できました。仲間川でのマングローブ遊覧は圧巻でした！また、水牛車に乗って由布島へ渡るのは八重山諸島でしか体験できません。プランによってはその後竹富島の観光するものもありますが、そちらでも水牛車に乗るコースもある様です。私たちのような70代60代の夫婦にとっては14:30には石垣島に戻ってそのあとはホテルで少し休憩できたのは良かったです。
真夏の猛暑は結構体力を持っていかれました。お若い方々には3島を巡るコースをお勧めします。

It was hot, but it was a meaningful tour, including the Churaumi Aquarium. I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.

　暑かったですが、美ら海水族館など有意義なツアーでした。また、参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

It takes over two hours to drive from Naha City to the Churaumi Aquarium by rental car, and I thought the fatigue from driving would increase, so I decided to book a tour this time. With the tour, the driver handled the driving, and they also took us to various other sightseeing spots besides Churaumi, which made it even more enjoyable. The tour guide was very attentive to the participants, which further increased my satisfaction. I would like to use this service again. Thank you for this experience.

那覇市から美ら海水族館までレンタカー借りて運転だと所要2時間以上、
運転する事による疲労が増すと思い、今回ツアーを申し込みました。
ツアーであれば、運転はドライバーがしてくれてまた、美ら海以外の
いろいろな観光スポットも連れていってくれるので、更に楽しむ事が出来ました。ツアーガイドさんも参加者に寄り添うツアーガイドをしてくださり
満足度が更に増しました。また利用したいです。今回はありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable day! ✨
We opted for a hotel transfer plan. Since we had a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old with us, I was wondering if they would have enough energy for a full day, but then I discovered this tour and signed up, which turned out to be a great decision!
We got to experience sightseeing on Iriomote Island with water buffalo, buses, and boats, and it really felt like we had a taste of island life. The kids were smitten by the cuteness of the water buffalo and even bought a water buffalo plush toy on Yubu Island.
The time spent on Yubu Island was just right, including lunchtime. (It was too hot to explore outside, which contributed to that feeling...)

Next, I want to visit Taketomi Island and Kohama Island.

天気もよくとても楽しい1日になりました✨
ホテル送迎有りプランでお願いしました。
2歳と4歳の子ども連れでしたので、丸一日は子どもたちが体力持つかな…？と思ってたところにこのツアーを発見して申し込み、結果大正解でした!
水牛やバスや船での西表島観光もでき、離島体験できたなという感じを味わえました。子どもたちも水牛の可愛さにメロメロで、由布島で水牛のぬいぐるみを購入しました。
由布島での時間は、お昼ご飯の時間も入れてちょうどよい感じでした。（暑すぎて外を散策できる状況でなかったのもありますが…）

次は竹富島や小浜島に訪れたいと思います。

The stay was just the right length—not too long and not too short—so I was able to enjoy each point thoroughly, which was great. Since the person accompanying us was not a guide but a tour conductor, the guide was through earphones, but there were times when I couldn't hear well, possibly due to the equipment malfunctioning. However, the live commentary from the tour conductor in both English and Japanese was definitely better!

There was a little incident where people from a different bus tour mixed in, but that wasn't the tour conductor's fault (laughs). It also became a nice memory (laughs). I'm glad the schedule went as planned.

If I had to mention something disappointing, it would be that the tour participants received a coupon for a game that could be used on Kokusai Street, but by the time we headed there after the tour ended, it was past closing time, so we couldn't make it...

However, I was very satisfied with the tour itself! It was a great deal since there was no fatigue from driving, and we could enjoy things like alcohol tastings, so I'm really glad I participated. Thank you!

長過ぎず短過ぎずちょうどよい滞在時間で各ポイントでしっかり楽しめたのでよかったです。
ガイドさんではなく添乗員さんだったので、ガイドはイヤホンタイプでしたが、機械の調子が悪かったのか聞き取れないことがありました。でも英語と日本語で添乗員さんが生で話してくれた内容の方が断然よかったです！
違うバスツアーの人が紛れ込むハプニングも起こりましたが、添乗員さんは悪くないです(笑)それもいい思い出になりました(笑)時間も予定通り進んでよかったです。
残念だったことを挙げるならば、ツアー参加者が国際通りで利用できるゲーム？のクーポンを貰いましたが、解散してから向かうと閉店時間過ぎており間に合いませんでした…。
ですがツアー自体はとても満足でした！
運転疲れがなく、お酒の試飲もできるなど色々楽しめてお得なので、参加して本当によかったです。
ありがとうございました！

Although it was a fireworks festival tour, the bus attendant told us that we would be late for the meeting time if we watched the fireworks until the end, so we had to move 5 minutes before the finale. Additionally, on the way back, we were strongly instructed to stop unexpectedly at an interchange to dispose of trash. Overall, the service was quite unpleasant.

花火大会ツアーなのに、バス添乗員さんから花火を最後まで見ると集合時間に遅れるため、花火フィナーレ5分前に移動するように言われた。
また、帰りの高速道路で予定外にインターに停車しゴミを捨てるように強く指示された。対応が総じて不愉快だった。

The bus tour in Iriomote Island was interesting and enjoyable, as the driver shared various stories. The tour of Yubu Island took 90 minutes, including travel time on the water buffalo cart, leaving 60 minutes for sightseeing and lunch on the island. Although it’s a small island, I felt it was not enough time for me. The mangroves were viewed from a boat, so we couldn’t get too close, which felt a bit limited. Since it was my first time visiting Iriomote Island, I was satisfied with just getting a general sense of the place. The bus driver, the staff on the water buffalo cart, and the boat operator were all very entertaining and provided a lot of information.

西表島のバス観光では、運転手さんが色んなお話をしてくださり、面白かったし楽しかったです。
由布島観光は、水牛車での移動時間も入れて90分だったので、島内の観光と昼食で60分。小さな島ですが、私には時間不足でした。
マングローブは、ボートなので際まで近づかず、こんなもんかなぁという感じです。
初めての西表島観光だったので、何となくわかる感じでも十分でした。
バスの運転手さん、水牛車のスタッフの方、ボートの運転手さん、皆さまとても面白くたくさんの情報をくださりました。

When we boarded the bus, we were mistakenly given the wrong seat numbers, and the overseas guests who were supposed to sit there were confused. We felt bad for them, so after visiting the aquarium, we switched seats. On Jeju Island, it was raining heavily, and if we had just waited a little longer, it would have cleared up, which was really disappointing. In the end, the drop-off point was changed without notice, and we were dropped off in an unfamiliar place, which caused us some trouble, and we ended up walking a lot more than planned!

The tour included all the places we wanted to visit, but the locations where the bus stopped were far away, which unexpectedly took a lot of time. Given that, it felt like a waste to try to see everything in such a short time, including the time spent traveling.

バスに乗る時の席の番号を間違えて教えられ　座るはずの海外の方が困っていた。私達も居た堪れず水族館の後　乗り込んだ時に席をチェンジした。古字利島では大雨で少し待ってくれたら晴れたのに物凄く残念。最後　降ろされる所を勝手に変更され　降ろされ　知らない土地で困りましたし　予定外にかなり歩いた！
ツアーの内容は行きたい所ばかりだったが　バスの止めてある場所が遠かったりで予想外に時間かかりその時間含めての短い時間で見るのは大変もったないかとおもいます。

I participated in another tour and it was so great that I joined for a second time!
I highly recommend it for those like me who are not good at driving, especially at a reasonable price.
Thank you for the fun time!

他のツアーに参加させて頂き、とても良かったので二度目でした！
リーズナブルな料金で、私のような運転が苦手な人には、本当にお勧めです
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

I chose a free walk on Taketomi Island. Since I went during a hot season, I realized the importance of staying hydrated. Even just strolling around, it's essential to keep hydrated, so there are a few places to eat and drink on the island, but make sure to carry your own drinks as well. This is especially important for those with small children!

竹富島でフリーウォークを選びました。暑い時期にいったので、こまめな水分補給の大切さを痛感しました。ぶらぶら歩いてるだけでも水分補給がかかせないので飲食のお店も数店島内にはありますが、自分で飲物しっかり持ち歩きましょう。小さいお子様連れの方々は尚更です！

I appreciate the consideration of the tour guide. It was extremely challenging due to the sudden thunderstorm, but I was able to endure it.

ツアーの添乗員の方の気遣いに感謝します。突然の雷雨のため物凄く大変でしたが我慢することができました。

I searched for a tour that could be done even in the rain and booked this one! I was able to visit many places in one day and thoroughly enjoyed it! The bus guide was also very kind. Thank you!

雨でもできるツアーを探しこちらを予約しました！
一日で沢山周れて行きたいところに行けて満喫できました！
バスガイドさんも親切でした。ありがとございました！

- Departing from Ishigaki Port to Ohara Port. The boat speeds along, but due to its structure, it doesn't sway much. If you're worried, sit near the middle at the back.

- Iriomote Island Mangrove Cruise. Since it was almost high tide, we toured through submerged forests. Although I couldn't see the mangrove forest I was hoping for, it's not every day you get to see a submerged forest up close, so that was interesting. The boat captain made a lot of negative comments like, "You usually see XX here," and "The water is murky, so you can't see well." Well, I can see that! Please don't add to the disappointment. Let's develop experiences that can only be enjoyed at high tide. I recommend sitting on the right side. Make sure to use the restroom before boarding at Ohara Port.

- Taking the bus to the water buffalo cart station. The bus driver was entertaining, and before I knew it, we arrived at the water buffalo cart station.

- Riding the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island. As mentioned, it was almost high tide, but the water buffalo did a great job pulling us, and we arrived.

- Visiting Yufu Island, lunchtime. Lunch can be eaten cold, so it's fine to explore the island first. It might be a bit early right after arrival. As you walk around the island, you'll reach the coast, but be careful where you step to avoid stepping on hermit crabs.

- From Ohara Port to Taketomi Port. After returning on the water buffalo cart, we took the bus to Ohara Port. Thank you to the driver for the enjoyable stories along the way.

- Activity – Rental Bicycles. I signed up for the rental bicycle plan, but it was a big mistake. The rental shop affiliated with this tour has no shade or restroom, just a ramshackle shed. The staff were unfriendly and just provided basic instructions. There are much better rental bicycle companies on the island, so it's better to book the "Free Walk on Taketomi Island" plan and arrange for a separate rental bicycle company. Most offer pick-up service (reservation required). Watching a mother skillfully ride a mama-chari while the father struggles to keep up is amusing. I also struggled on a bicycle for the first time in decades. Riding around, I felt satisfied as it truly felt like the original scenery of Okinawa.

Overall, this tour was enjoyable, but I definitely recommend avoiding the rental bicycle plan. Taking the extra step to book with another rental bicycle company will lead to a higher satisfaction level.

・石垣港出発。石垣港から大原港
高速でぶっ飛ばすが、構造上大して揺れない。心配なら後部中央付近の座席へ

・西表島・仲間川マングローブクルーズ
ほぼ満潮だったので水没した林の遊覧でした。期待したマングローブの林を見られなかったが、日常水没した林を間近で見ることはないのでそれはそれで。
船頭さん、ネガティブ発言が多い。「ここでは普段○○が見えるんだけど」「水が濁っててよく見えないですね」等々。いゃいゃ、そんな事見れば分かりますって。ガッカリ感に追い打ちをかけないでもらいたい。もっと満潮時にしか体験できない事を開発しましょう。
座席は右側がお勧め。大原港へ着く前にトイレを済まして乗り込もう。

・バスで水牛車乗り場へ
バスの運転士さん、説明が面白く、なるほどって頷いているうちに水牛車乗り場へ。

・水牛車で由布島へ
前述の通りほぼ満潮だったのだが、水牛さんが頑張って引いてくれて到着

・由布島見学、ランチタイム
昼食は冷めてても問題ないので島を見学後でも良いでしょう。到着直後はちょっと早い。
島内を見学しながら歩いて行くと海岸に出ますが、その際足元に注意しましょう。ヤドカリさんを踏みつぶさないように。

・大原港から竹富港へ
水牛車に乗って戻り、バスで大原港へ。運転士さん、その間も楽しい話ありがとぅ。

・アクティビティ～レンタサイクル
今回レンタサイクルプランを申し込んだが。これが大失敗。このツアーの提携レンタサイクル屋は、日除けもなければトイレもない掘っ立て小屋のレンタサイクル屋。スタッフも愛想も糞もなく事務的に案内してるだけ。
島内にはもっとましなレンタサイクル業者が沢山あるので、「竹富島でフリーウォーク」プランで申し込み、別途レンタサイクル業者の申し込みをしましょう。どこも送迎付きです。（当然要予約）
島内の観光はママチャリの母親が颯爽と乗りこなしている後をお父さんがヨロヨロ付いていく様子が面白い。自分も数十年振りの自転車に四苦八苦。
自転車で周ってみるとなるほど、沖縄の原風景って感じで満足。

とまぁ、このツアーはこんな感じ。他は楽しかったがレンタサイクルプランは絶対止めたほうが良い。ひと手間かけて他のレンタサイクル業者を予約したほうが満足度は高い。

Since we participated from Naha, we departed just after 8:20 and disbanded close to 8 in the evening. I would like to reduce the number of sightseeing spots along the way and focus on the Churaumi Aquarium as the main attraction, which would be sufficient for satisfaction. A nearly 12-hour duration is tiring.

那覇から参加だったので８時20分過ぎから出発、夜も８時近くに解散。
途中の見学地、少し減らし、美ら海水族館メインのツアーで十分満足という設定にしてほしい。
12時間近い所要時間は疲れる

Due to the typhoon, I was the only participant, which made me feel a bit apologetic starting off with just one person in a large bus. The guide was very professional, and the driver always greeted us with a smile, creating a good balance between the two. The content of the tour was incredibly fulfilling, covering key points in locations that are quite far from Naha, which made me very satisfied. The sky restaurant for lunch was also in a private setting, and the view was spectacular, making it a place I would like to visit again. I recommend this tour for those who want to enjoy the nature of the northern region.

台風が発生していたせいか参加者は私一人で
大きなバスに1名参加で申し訳ない思いのスタートでした。
ガイドさんは淡々と仕事をされておられましたが
運転手さんがいつも笑顔で声をかけて下さり、お二人で良いバランスが取れています。
内容はとにかく充実しており、那覇から距離がある場所でポイントを押さえており満足ができるものでした。
お昼の天空レストランも貸し切り状態でした、景色が絶景でまた訪れたい場所になりました。
北部の自然を楽しみたい方にはお勧めのツアーです、

The bus guide provided various information, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing very much. When I travel to Okinawa again, I would like to use a bus tour to visit different places.

バスガイドさんも、色々案内していただき、非常に楽しく観光することができました。
また、沖縄に旅行に行くときは、別の場所を観光するバスツアーがあれば利用したいと思います。

A hotel near the離島ターミナル (island terminal) is convenient since the morning meeting time is early. I think it's better to choose a low tide time for the mangrove cruising so you can see the roots well. There are many water buffalo, so you can ride without waiting. Although not all of them, you can enjoy the performance of the sanshin.

朝の集合時間が早いので離島ターミナル近辺のホテルが便利です。
マングローブクルージングは干潮時間帯を選んだほうが根本まで見られて良いと思います。
水牛は頭数も多いので待たずに乗れます。全てでは無いそうですが、三線の演奏が楽しめます。

Due to the recent abnormal weather, it was a scorching tour. The guides for the mangroves, the bus driver, and the cart guide all had wonderful conversations that made it enjoyable. The tour itself was quite strenuous, and the cycling on Taketomi Island at the end felt like I was going to die. That said, I definitely do not recommend walking; the distance is considerable. I chose Ishigaki Island as my travel destination to find star sand, but I hardly found any at Kaiji Beach, even after searching. It seemed like the vendors had taken too much for sale.

Anyway, please stay hydrated and use Google Maps to explore Taketomi Island. You might get lost.

最近の異常気象もあり、灼熱のツアーでした。
マングローブの案内の方、バスの運転手さん、牛車の案内の方、とても素敵なトークでここちよかったのです。
ツアー自体はハードで、最後の竹富島のサイクリングは死にそうでした。かといって歩きは全くオススメしません。かなり距離があります。星の砂目当てで石垣島を旅先に決めたのに、カイジ浜では探してもほとんど見当たらず。。業者の人たちが販売用に取り過ぎてるように思いました。
とにかく水分補給と、Googleのナビを活用して、竹富島を散策してください。迷います。

In the morning, I was worried about whether the boat would depart due to the heavy rain, but by the time we arrived at the island terminal, it was just light rain. When we reached Iriomote Island, the sun came out! After enjoying the mangrove cruise, I finally got to ride a water buffalo to Yubu Island. After leisurely exploring Yubu Island, I had a great time renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island. I was able to enjoy everything efficiently without feeling rushed.

朝は土砂降りで船が出るのかも心配でしたが離島ターミナルに着く頃には小雨に。西表島に着いたら晴れ間！マングローブクルーズを楽しんだ後は念願の水牛に運んでもらい由布島へ。由布島をのんびり散策後は竹富島でレンタサイクルが楽しかったです。効率良く、でもバタバタもしなく楽しめました。

As a resident of Naha City, I took my friend, who came to visit Okinawa, on this bus tour for the first time. In Okinawa, which is a car-centric society, there may be some discrepancies in sightseeing time due to traffic conditions, but I think this is a very convenient and reasonable way to explore various tourist spots in one day at this price. The weather was nice, and the sea was beautiful, so my friend was satisfied and happy. The female tour conductor was also working very hard, which I found very admirable. However, there were many foreign participants, and perhaps due to cultural differences, there were a few who did not adhere to the meeting time. It was quite unfortunate to see the tour conductor running around and making phone calls each time this happened.

那覇市在住の者で、今回沖縄観光で此方へ遊びに来た友人を連れて初めてこちらのバスツアーを利用しました。
車社会の沖縄において、道路の混み具合によっては多少観光時間に誤差が生じる事もあるでしょうが、この値段で1日で色んな観光地を回れるなら、沖縄では大変便利でリーズナブルな観光手段だと思います。
天気も良く、海も美しかったので、友人も満足して喜んでいました。
ツアーコンダクターの女性の方も一生懸命に仕事をされていて、非常に好感が持てました。
ただ、参加者に外国人の方も多くいらして、そのお国柄なのか、集合時間を守らない方がちらほらいらしたので、その都度ツアコンの女性が走り回ったり、電話をかけまくったりする姿を見るととても気の毒でした。

I joined the tour thinking that the mangrove cruise would be the main event. The cruise was just as I expected, and I was satisfied, but the water buffalo cart ride exceeded my expectations and was thoroughly enjoyable. The sightseeing time on Yufu Island was just right.

マングローブ遊覧がメインイベントと思いツアーに参加しました。遊覧は思った通りの感じで満足できましたが、水牛車は期待以上に良く満喫できました。由布島の観光時間はちょうど良い感じでした。

This plan, which allows you to visit the iconic tourist spots of Okinawa in one day, was very enjoyable for me as a beginner in Okinawa. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I believe I gained a deeper understanding of Okinawa. The views from the bus window were outstanding, and it was enjoyable no matter which side you sat on. It was also lucky that we happened to see fighter jets flying, possibly due to some training that day. The whale sharks at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium were impressive and wonderful, but personally, I found the manatees to be so cute that I want to visit them again.

ザ・沖縄といった観光名所を一日で周れるこのプランは、沖縄初心者のわたしにはとても楽しめました。バスガイドさんのお話もとても聞きやすく、沖縄への理解を深められたと思います。車窓からの景色は抜群で、左右どちらに座っても楽しめるようになっていました。この日はたまたま訓練をしていたのか、戦闘機が飛ぶ様を見れたのもラッキーでした。美ら海水族館のジンベエザメも迫力があって素敵でしたが、個人的にはマナティーが可愛くてまた会いに行きたいなと思いました。
