All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I thought it would be tiring to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots in Okinawa in one day by renting a car, so I signed up for a day tour. The bus guide provided clear and thorough explanations about the municipalities we passed through, which were very interesting, so I wasn't bored at all during the travel time. I was also grateful for the ample time spent at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It was a fun and fulfilling day!

レンタカーを借りて1日で効率よく沖縄の観光名所を巡るのが疲れると思って、日帰りツアーに申し込みました。
バスガイドさんが途中通る市町村の話などもわかりやすく、丁寧にたくさん説明してくださいました。とても興味深い内容だったので、移動時間も全然退屈ではありませんでした。
沖縄美ら海水族館の滞在時間も十分だったので、ありがたかったです。楽しくて充実な1日でした！

I was able to fully enjoy my day as promised with "efficient use of one day."

Everything I saw was fresh and the day flew by in no time.

If I have the chance to go to Ishigaki Island again, I would love to repeat the experience.

「1日で効率よく」のとおり1日で充分満喫できました。

と、言うか見るモノ全てが新鮮で1日があっと言う間に過ぎてしまいました。

また石垣島に行く事が有ればリピートしたいです。

I had a great time riding and interacting with the water buffalo for the first time, creating wonderful memories. The mangrove tour was also filled with nature and was very enjoyable. However, since the weather was cloudy, I thought it would have been even better if it had been sunny. I regret not being able to visit Taketomi Island because we had a company party in the evening during our company training trip, but riding the water buffalo while listening to the shamisen was truly a lovely experience. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

初めて水牛に乗ったり、水牛に触れたりすごく思い出が出来て楽しかったです。マングローブ遊覧もとても自然がいっぱいでとても良かったです。ただ天気が曇だったので晴れのほうがさらにいいなぁと思いました。今回会社の研修旅行できて夕方から会社のパーティーがあったので竹富島に行くことができなかったことが心残りですが、本当水牛に乗りながら三味線を聞いたりと素敵な体験になりました。また機会があったら行きたいです

I thought it wouldn't be great from the start, but it exceeded my expectations. The best experience until now was with the talented guide from Miyazaki Kotsu, who was a classic model of excellence. Even so, I thought it was impressive that they still maintain such a high standard today. This time, I must say, it's truly Okinawa; I doubt anything could surpass this. I take my hat off to Okinawa. I look forward to what lies ahead, overcoming history and current challenges. This was my first time in Okinawa, and I wish I had come sooner.

スタートからやるなと思っていたが、予想を超えた。今までの最高点は宮崎交通の歌の上手なガイドさん、昔ながらの模範的な、それでも今の評価でまだこんないい感じをと思っていたが、今回のはさすが沖縄か、まあこれ以上は無理でしょう。沖縄に脱帽です。歴史と現状を乗り越えての先に期待します。初めての沖縄、もっと早く来たかった。

Originally, I had planned to go to Kouri Island, but it was raining on the day, so I decided not to go. I consulted with the driver, and we set a new destination. Without showing any displeasure, he kindly helped me decide where to go, and we ended up visiting a memorable place. During the drive, he shared various stories with me. He mentioned wanting to take me to recommended spots that aren't in guidebooks. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we couldn't go there, but I truly had a wonderful time. I feel that choosing a charter was definitely the right decision.

If I have another opportunity, I would appreciate your help again! Thank you very much!!!

もともと古宇利島に行く予定だったのですが、当日雨が降っていて、行くのを断念。運転手さんと相談し新たな目的地を設定しました。嫌な顔ひとつせず、親身にどこに行くかの相談にのって下さり、思い出に残る場所に行けました。道中でも様々なお話をして下さりました。ガイドブックには載らないようなオススメの場所も連れていきたいといってくれました。じかんの都合で最終的にそこには行けませんでしたが、ほんとに楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。チャーターを選んで大正解だったなとしみじみ感じています。
また機会がありましたらよろしくお願い致します！
ありがとうございました！！！

The wind was strong, and the boat was splashing water, so the people sitting outside hurried inside. We were right to stay inside from the beginning! The mangroves of Iriomote Island were very educational. I was happy to see the crested serpent eagle (laughs). The ox cart was funny because the ox was in a bad mood and stopped partway. Lunch was a bento, and it was delicious! Given the season, it can't be helped, but I think we could have enjoyed it even more if the weather had been a bit better!

風強く、船も水しぶきが有り、外に座っていた人達は慌てて中に入ってきました。私達は最初から中にいて正解でした!西表島のマングローブはとても勉強になりました。カンムリワシに会えて嬉しかったです(笑)牛車は牛さんのご機嫌が悪く途中止まってしまったり面白かったです。ランチはお弁当です。美味しく頂きました!季節的に仕方ないですがもう少し天気が良ければもっと楽しく過ごせたと思います!

There was no guide, but it was great that the tour conductor provided various sightseeing information. The submarine ride was changed to a different dinosaur park due to strong winds. I went on December 25, and it's good to have a jacket. Half of the participants were foreigners (from Asia). I would like to join this plan again in 10 years.

ガイドさんはいませんが、添乗員の方がいろいろ観光案内してくれてよかったです。
サブマリンは強風のため別の恐竜パークになりました。
12/25に行きましたが、上着があるといいです。
参加者の半数は外人（アジア）です。
10年後にまたこのプランで参加したいです。

Although the morning was a bit early, we arrived at Ishigaki Port with plenty of time and were able to check in smoothly without any rush. The boat was somewhat crowded, but I felt like we arrived at Iriomote Island in no time while dozing off and enjoying the view from the window. Upon arrival, a sightseeing bus was waiting for us, and we quickly set off for a mangrove tour. Along the way, the driver provided information and stories about Iriomote Island, which kept us entertained. During the mangrove tour, we were shown clusters of mangroves that you wouldn't see on the main islands, allowing us to experience a sense of the extraordinary.

After that, we boarded the bus again and moved to the water buffalo cart boarding area, where we leisurely crossed over to the neighboring Yubu Island on a water buffalo cart. It was nice that there were guides and performances of the sanshin (Okinawan musical instrument) during the ride.

Yubu Island felt like a botanical garden, and the butterfly breeding facility was particularly interesting. Additionally, the lunch bento was quite satisfying. On the way back, many people got off at Taketomi Island, but since this plan was to return to Ishigaki Island, we were able to return to Ishigaki Port with plenty of time to spare, allowing us to leisurely explore the area around Ishigaki Port. The shuttle bus was also appreciated.

朝が少し早かったのですが、石垣港に到着して受付まで余裕もあり慌てることなくスムーズにできました。
船は多少混雑していましたが、西表島まで座ってうとうとしながら車窓を眺めあっという間についた感じでした。西表島では観光バスが待っていてくれ、すぐにマングローブ遊覧に出発。途中、運転手さんの西表島の案内やエピソードの話もあり飽きることはありません。マングローブ遊覧も本州では見られないようなマングローブの群生を案内してもらいながら鑑賞し、非日常感を味わうことができました。
その後、再びバスに乗車して水牛車乗り場まで移動し、水牛車でのんびりと隣の由布島までわたりました。水牛車の中での案内や三線の演奏など楽しめるようにされていてよかったです。
由布島では島全体が植物園のようで、特に蝶の飼育舎が面白かったです。また、昼食のお弁当も十分満足のいくものでした。帰りは多くの方が竹富島で降りられたのですが、このプランは石垣島へ帰るプランだったので、石垣港に余裕をもって戻ることができ、石垣港周辺を見て回るなどゆっくりと過ごせました。送迎バスもありがたかったです。

It was a tight schedule, but the explanations were thorough, so I was able to complete everything without hesitation. The ship was also cleaner than those of other companies, which was great!

過密スケジュールですが丁寧に説明頂けたので迷わず完遂出来ました。他社さんより船も綺麗で良かったです笑

I visited the Yaeyama Islands for the first time, and it was unusually sunny for January. The high-speed ferry was very comfortable, and I was able to enjoy the emerald sea. On Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo cart for the first time in my life. The ride was pleasant, and there was a performance of the sanshin along the way, making it the best experience of this trip. Additionally, the Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island was a valuable experience, as I was able to see the mangroves with my own eyes. It was cloudy on Taketomi Island, but I was drawn to the island's quietness and the slow passage of time. I would like to visit again when it's sunny.

初めて八重山諸島を訪れましたが、1月にしては珍しく晴れていました。
高速船はとても快適で、エメラルドの海を堪能することができました。
由布島では水牛車に人生で初めて乗りましたが、乗り心地がよく、途中の三線の演奏もあり、今回の旅の中で最高の体験となりました。
また、西表島での仲間川クルーズも、マングローブをこの目で見ることができ、貴重な経験でした。
竹富島では曇ってしまいましたが、島の静かでゆっくりと時間が流れている点に惹かれました。次は晴れた時に再訪問したいと思います。

Thanks to the tour guide, I was able to participate alone and had a great time. At the Oishi Forest Park, which I had always wanted to visit, I was given recommendations for the best course and enjoyed the stunning view from the observation deck. With the guide's assistance, I was also able to see a large banyan tree.

For lunch, I was very satisfied with the delicious sashimi and fried dishes at a popular restaurant. Each sightseeing spot had ample time allocated, allowing me to explore various attractions.

添乗員さんのお陰でひとり参加でしたがとても楽しめました。ずっと行ってみたかった大石林山ではおすすめコースを教えてもらい、展望台から最高の景色眺めました。また添乗員さんの案内で大きなガジュマルを見に行くことができました。
お昼は人気のお店でおいしいお刺身やフライをいただけて大満足でした。
ひとつひとつの観光地でしっかり時間が確保されていて色々見学できました。

The tour was comfortable with a free shuttle to the hotel. The mangrove cruise was more impressive than expected, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable. The lunch on Yufu Island was delicious, but the 90-minute stay felt a bit short. Next time, I would like to visit on my own.

ホテルへの無料送迎もあり快適なツアーでした。マングローブクルーズも期待以上に迫力があり、ガイドの方の説明も楽しかったです。由布島でのランチも美味しかったのですが、滞在時間が９０分では物足りなく思われます。今度は個人で訪問したいです。

It was a three-island tour in one day. The mangrove forest cruise in Iriomote Island had a guide whose explanations were very good, and I learned a lot of new things. The round trip by ox cart to Yubu Island was a pleasant experience, as we progressed step by step through the sea, making me forget the passage of time. The songs played on the sanshin by the cowherd were also very nice.

On Taketomi Island, we toured the town by ox cart, and the ox was very smart, skillfully navigating sharp corners.

The ox cart ride is an absolutely wonderful experience. I think it's more enjoyable than the price suggests.

１日で3島ツアーでした。
西表島のマングローブの森クルーズは、
ガイドさんの解説が、とても良く、
初めて知ることが多かったです。
由布島往復の牛車は、
海の中を、一歩一歩進んでいくので、
時間が経つのを忘れる、
心地よい体験でした。
牛飼さんの三線と歌も、
とても良かったですよ。
竹富島では、街中を牛車で廻りましたが、
とても賢い牛さんで、
急な角も器用に廻ってました。

牛車が、最高に素晴らしい体験ですよ。
価格以上に楽しめると思います。

The day before, I had a mangrove canoe experience on Iriomote Island, but the mangrove tour by boat was also fantastic because it included explanations from the boat captain. The transfer to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart had a leisurely atmosphere, making it an indescribable experience. The plan was incredibly efficient, and I was very satisfied with the activities!

前日に同じ西表島でマングローブカヌー体験をしたのですが、遊覧船でのマングローブ遊覧は船頭さんの解説付きなので、こちらのアクティビティもサイコーでした！
水牛車での由布島への移動ものんびりな雰囲気でなんともいえない体験です。
ものすごく効率的にプランが組まれており大満足なアクティビティでした！

I was glad to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots in Okinawa. With a rental car, it's hard for the driver to take breaks, but traveling by bus allowed me to rest during the one-hour trips, which was really convenient! On the day I participated, the weather was also favorable, and the sea was beautiful, so I felt lucky.

効率よく沖縄の観光名所を巡れて良かったです。
レンタカーだと運転手が休憩をとりにくいですが、バス移動のため1時間程度の移動の時は眠れたりするので楽チンでした！
参加させていただいた日は天候にも恵まれて、とても海も綺麗でラッキーでした。

The guide's voice was beautiful.
The weather was nice, and the tour content was fulfilling.
I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.
Thank you very much.

ガイドさんの声が綺麗
天候がよく、ツアー内容も充実
また、機会が有れば利用したい
ありがとうございました

We took a tour-exclusive ferry from Ishigaki Port to Ohara Port on Iriomote Island. After transferring to a bus, we rode a water buffalo to Yufu Island. We had a slightly early lunch with a bento and spent an hour exploring. After riding the water buffalo back to the bus, we boarded a mangrove sightseeing boat on Iriomote Island. It was cloudy, and although the temperature was 20°C, it felt quite cold. With the windows wide open, I wished I had a down jacket, fleece, or a lined hoodie. The guide provided fun explanations, and we learned about the mangroves. We then arrived at Ohara Port and took a dedicated ferry to Taketomi Island. The best part of the tour was that we could go to Taketomi Island without any waiting time.

We boarded a bus to the water buffalo experience location. We swayed through the streets on the water buffalo. There was about 30 minutes of free time left, but since it was around 3 PM and New Year's Day, many shops were closed. We found a small café and ordered coffee and purple sweet potato soft serve. We ate outside, which was chilly.

We got back on the bus to Taketomi Island Port, transferred to the ferry, and disbanded on Ishigaki Island. Overall, it was a fulfilling tour with many different modes of transportation.

石垣港からツアー専用のフェリーで西表島大原港へ。バスに乗り換え水牛に揺られて由布島へ。少し早めの昼食弁当と散策で1時間。水牛に揺られバスに戻り、今度は西表島のマングローブ遊覧船に乗り込む。曇りのためか気温２０℃はあるが寒～い。窓全開で走るためダウン、フリース、裏起毛のパーカーが欲しかった。楽しい説明がありマングローブについて学んだ。そのまま大原港に着岸、専用のフェリーで竹富島へ。ツアーだから待ち時間無しに竹富島へ行けるのが良い。
バスに乗り水牛体験の場所へ。ゆらゆら街中を水牛で陸地を移動。残りの自由行動３０分ほどあるが、１５時くらいだったので午前の営業終わってたり元旦なのでお店がやってない。小さなカフェを見つけてコーヒーと紅芋ソフトクリームを注文。外で食し寒い。
バスに乗り込み竹富島港へ。フェリーに乗り換え石垣島で解散。
と、沢山の乗り物を乗り継ぎ満喫するツアーである。

I was able to recharge with the beautiful nature. The tour staff was well-organized, and I had plenty of time to explore freely. The bus, water buffalo, and mangrove boat drivers on Iriomote Island provided a unique experience that only a tour can offer. The Yaeyama Islands are easy to explore with fewer tourists. I am grateful for the beautiful sea and the kindness of the islanders.

美しい自然からエネルギーチャージできました。ツアー係の方が段取り良く、自由散策も十分観光できました。西表島のバス、水牛、マングローブ船の運転手さんの案内はツアーならではの楽しみです。八重山諸島は観光客が少なく観光しやすいです。美しい海と親切な島の皆さまに感謝です。

I signed up with my parents, who are over 70 years old and exercise regularly. The mangrove tour, the bus ride on Iriomote Island, and the guide's explanations while riding the water buffalo were calm, articulate, interesting, and enjoyable. I was able to see the crested serpent eagle perched on the power lines five times while on the bus. Renting bicycles in Taketomi was also fun.

70歳を超える両親（よく運動している）と申し込みました。マングローブ遊覧＋西表島のバス＋水牛でのガイドさんの説明は穏やかで、活舌よく、おもしろく、楽しかったです。バスにのりながら電線にとまっているカンムリワシを5回もみることができました。竹富でのレンタサイクルも楽しかったです。

From a little distance, I waved at the water buffalo, and it responded by flicking its ears back at me, which was adorable! The guide's explanations were great, and the song was delicious! 😊

ちょっと離れたところから、水牛さんに手を振ったところ、水牛さんは耳で振り返してくれて、可愛かった！！ガイドのお姉さんの説明も良く、歌も美味かった(^^)

It was my first time participating in a VELTRA tour, and I received detailed emails that made me feel at ease until the day of the tour. The transportation during the tour went almost as scheduled, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a wonderful memory.

初めてのVELTRAツアー参加でしたが、丁寧にメイルが届き、参加当日まで安心出来ました。
ツアーの移動もほぼ予定通りで天気にも恵まれて、良い思い出になりました。

I recommend it for those who want to get the best of everything in a nutshell. The food was served quickly, and we were attended to by very hospitable staff. If you're unsure, just go ahead and sign up!

端的にいいところどりしたい方にはお勧め。ご飯もすぐに出てきて、ホスピタリティー溢れる方達にアテンドしてもらいました。迷ったら申し込みましょう

To be honest, all the island-hopping tours seemed similar to me, but I had the best day. First, I took a ferry to Iriomote Island. The weather wasn't great, so I was worried about getting seasick, but it was totally fine. After the mangrove cruise tour, I took a sightseeing bus to the water buffalo cart station on Yubu Island. Fortunately, one of the staff members could play the sanshin, so we enjoyed the ride both ways. I was impressed to learn that they train the buffalo without using whips. The lunch on Yubu Island was also delicious.

On Taketomi Island, I chose to go cycling. It started off with a light rain, but it stopped quickly, and I was able to enjoy visiting a traditional house café and the beach views, experiencing the charm of the island! It was great that I could choose between the 16:00 and 17:00 ferry for the return trip.

If I come to Ishigaki Island again, I would love to participate in this tour!

正直言って島巡りのツアーはどれも同じように見えていたのですが、最高の１日を過ごすことができました。
まずはフェリーに乗って西表島へ。お天気があまり良くなかったので揺れそうで船酔いを心配しましたが、全然大丈夫でした。マングローブクルーズのツアーの後、観光バスに乗って由布島の水牛車乗り場へ。たまたまスタッフの方が三線を弾ける方だったので、往復ともに楽しませていただきました。ムチなどを使わずに調教しているということで、感動しました。由布島でのランチもおいしかったです。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選択しました。スタート当初は小雨が降っていましたが、すぐに止んで古民家カフェに行ったりビーチの景色を楽しんだり、島の魅力を楽しむことができました！帰りの船の時間を16:00, 17:00から選べたのも良かったです。
石垣島に来たら、また参加したいです！

I was captivated by the beauty of the mangroves.
It's worth participating.
I was fortunate to encounter many wild birds.
Unfortunately, the lunch bento was not delicious.
A convenience store bento would have been better.

マングローブの素晴らしさに魅了されました。
参加する価値あります。
タイミングよく、野鳥にも沢山出会えました。
残念なのは、ランチのお弁当。
美味しく無いです。
コンビニ弁当で良かった。

サービスの人たちは良いです。私たちのために英語を翻訳してくれて、とても感動しました。

service person are good, translate English for us, very touched.

I went to Taketomi Island and rode a water buffalo cart! It was so much fun. I was happy to see the mangroves with my wife. I definitely want to go again.

竹富島に行って水牛車になっちゃったー！
とっても楽しかった。
奥さんとマングローブも見れて幸せだった。
また絶対行きたいと思う。

This time, I traveled without a rental car and participated in a tour for the first time.
Although it was from morning until evening, there was not a single wasted movement; it was incredibly efficient!
This tour was perfect for someone like me who is impatient.
However, it might be a bit challenging for those who prefer to take their time or need to walk slowly...

Since the schedule was tight, even for someone like me who doesn't usually take their time, I didn't have any extra time.
It wasn't my first time visiting these places, and I wasn't looking to relax, so it felt great to see them again after a while! The time management was excellent!
Moreover, on the way back, we took the highway and had a light sandwich (which was simple but delicious), and with the entrance fees and everything included, along with a guide, this price... is too cheap!!
I thought that from now on, tours might be the way to go for sightseeing in Okinawa!

今回レンタカーなしでの旅行にしたので初めてツアーに参加しました。
朝から夕方までの時間ですが何ひとつ無駄な動きはなく、ものすごく効率的でした！
せっかちの私にはピッタリのツアーです。
もしかすると、ゆっくりめに見たい方、ゆっくり歩かないといけない方にはちょっと大変かもしれません…

時間がタイトなので、せっかちでゆっくり見たつもりは全くない私でも時間が余ることはなかったです。
私にとっては初めて行く場所な訳でもなく、のんびりしたい訳ではなかったので久々にまた見れた〜！って感じで時間配分とっても良かったです！
しかも帰りは高速乗って帰って軽食のサンドイッチ(シンプルで美味しかったです)もあり、入館料もろもろ入ってガイドさんもついてこの値段…安すぎます！！
これから沖縄観光はツアーでいいかも！って思いました！！

I enjoyed the cruise on the boat, was charmed by the cute cows while riding in a cart to Yufu Island, and had a wonderful time interacting with the plants. The large butterflies were very cute.

船のクルーズで楽しめ、牛車で可愛い牛さんにやられて由布島へ渡り、植物とのふれあい、大きな蝶々がとてもかわいかったです。

The bus guide was very cheerful, and it was an enjoyable tour. I had expected a tour where everyone would sing together, but it was nothing like that. The bus guide efficiently explained the points to note before arrival and gave advice on how to explore the sightseeing spots, as well as recommendations for souvenirs and other attractions, making it a relaxed tour where we mostly listened.

For those who want to take their time, the duration might feel a bit short, but if you follow the advice given, you can have a fulfilling experience. It's perfect for those who don't want to drive.

There were many foreign visitors, and although I didn't speak directly with them, the guide's English was impressive. We enjoyed beautiful views of the sea from the boat, leisurely ate barbecue, rode kickboards along the Fukugi tree-lined path (which was an option on the bus for 1,000 yen per person), and explored the aquarium early before relaxing at a café. We ended the day with a light look at the illuminations in American Village.

At first, I was scared of the instability of the kickboard, and there were moments when I felt I might inconvenience others due to the number of people and cars around. However, the staff at the Fukugi tree-lined path provided individual guidance and taught us routes suitable for beginners.

Since I went during the New Year holidays and didn't have a rental car, I think the tour was the best option due to the holiday schedule. It's not for those who want to fully enjoy the aquarium, but it's highly recommended for those who want to casually visit sightseeing spots. Thank you to the bus guide and the driver!

とても明るいバスガイドさんで楽しいツアーだった。みんなで歌うようなツアーを予想して構えていたが全くそうではなく、バスガイドさんがてきぱき到着前に注意点を説明して観光地の周り方のアドバイスをしたりお土産や他の観光地についておすすめしてくれたりでほぼ聴くだけのリラックスしたツアーだった。
時間はゆっくり見たい人なら少し足りないくらいで、アドバイス通りに動けば充実した時間を過ごせた。運転したくない人には最適。
外国の方が多く、私は直接話すことはなかったがガイドさんの英語がかっこよかった。
船できれいな海を見て、焼肉をゆっくり食べて、フクギ並木でキックボードに乗り（バス内で選択・1人料金1000円）、水族館では早めに周ってカフェでゆっくり、アメリカンビレッジで軽くイルミネーションを見て終わり。
キックボードは最初不安定さが怖く、人と車も多くて迷惑をかけてしまう場面があったが、フクギ並木の店員さんが個別指導と慣れない人向けルートを教えてくれた。
年末年始に行ったのでレンタカーがなく、バスも祝日ダイヤのため、ツアーは最適解だったと思う。
水族館を満喫したい人向けではないが、さらっと観光地を巡りたい人にはとてもいいのでおすすめです。
バスガイドさん運転手さんありがとうございました。

Great cost performance.
The guide did a great job.

I participated for a friend visiting Okinawa for the first time.
It was a fun and productive tour for the day.
I highly recommend it!

コスパ最高
ガイドさんグッジョブ

沖縄初めての友人の為参加しました
一日楽しく有効なツアーでした。
ぜひぜひお勧めします。
