All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

At Churaumi Aquarium, there is a three-hour free time where you are supposed to get lunch on your own. However, the limited dining options within the facility can make it quite crowded, which I think will be challenging. It would have been better if we could either receive a light snack in advance or shorten the free time to stop somewhere for lunch. That said, for this price, it's great that you can enjoy a full day of sightseeing with such a fulfilling experience.

ちら海水族館で3時間のフリータイムがありランチを自分で取ることに
なってますが、施設内の場所が限られているので混雑しているので
厳しいと思います。事前に軽食を渡すか、フリータイムを削ってもランチ
に何処か立ち寄ることが出来てればよかったです。
ただこの値段で一日中たっぷり観光出来て、充実した内容です。

For those visiting Okinawa for the first time, I think it's great because it's affordable, the schedule is set, so you can move smoothly, and you can visit the main attractions in Okinawa! They also ensure thorough disinfection when getting on the bus for COVID-19 safety measures. You can listen to stories about Okinawa's history and the islands through headphones using a transmitter. Since it's for individual listening rather than the tour guide speaking, I felt it was a good measure for infection control. The tour guide's explanations and energy were very enjoyable. While there were moments when I felt the time was short, I think a tour is recommended if you want to see a lot in one day!

人生初の沖縄という人には、安いし時間決められてるからスムーズに動けて、沖縄の主要な場所ヘも行けて最高だと思います！
コロナの感染対策のためにしっかり消毒もバス乗る時にしてくれます。沖縄の歴史や島についての話もトランシーバーを使ってイヤホンで聞くことが出来ます。添乗員さんが話すのではなく、個人で聞くため、感染対策にもつながり良いと感じました。
添乗員さんの説明もノリもとても良く楽しめました。時間が短いなと感じる部分もありましたが、1日で沢山観光したいならツアーがおすすめだと思います！

It was my first visit to Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for a tour plan. The order of the islands may change depending on the tides of the day. I also had a change in plans, and Taketomi Island became the first stop. I was glad to go in the morning since there was cycling involved; if it had been in the afternoon, I might have been exhausted under the blazing sun. The round trip to Yubu Island, where I could ride a water buffalo, was soothing thanks to the host's sanshin performance.

初の石垣島訪問でしたので、周遊プランを申し込みました。
島の順番は、当日の潮の加減で前後することがあるみたいです。
私も、当初の予定から変更で竹富島が一番になりました。
サイクリングがあったので、午前中に行けて良かったです。昼からだと、炎天下でバテていたかもしれません、
水牛ちゃんに乗れる由布島往復は、主さんの三線に癒やされました。

The pickup was convenient, and I received prior notice, so I was able to join right away. The guide was interesting and fun to talk to, and the singing was wonderful—I was captivated. It was my first time in Okinawa, and the weather was great throughout, making it very enjoyable. Each spot had plenty of time allocated, so I didn’t get tired, which was nice. I'm glad I signed up for this tour. Thank you to the guide and the driver!

お迎え来てくれたのも便利な場所で前もって連絡もくれたので
すぐ合流できました。ガイドさんもお話しも興味深く楽しくて
歌も素晴らしく聞き惚れました。
初めての沖縄で終始天気も良くとても楽しめました。
各スポットも時間も充分に取ってくれて疲れる事なく
よかったです。このツアーに申し込んでよかったです。
ガイドさん、ドライバーさんありがとうございました！

On Iriomote Island, we experienced one of the few days of high tide that occur about eight times a year, and the water level was so high that we couldn't see the roots of the mangroves during the mangrove tour. However, we were guided through a route that can only be accessed during high tide. On Yubu Island, we enjoyed a round trip on a water buffalo cart and a lunch while exploring the island. On Taketomi Island, there were cycling courses available, and I was glad to ride the water buffalo cart again as I learned a lot about the islands. Since it's a small island, this tour, which can be completed in a day, was very enjoyable.

西表島では一年に8回程しかない大潮の日に当たり、水位が高くマングローブ遊覧はマングローブの根元が全く見えませんでしが、大潮時にしか通れないルートを案内してもらえました。由布島では水牛車での往復とランチ島内散策、竹富島ではサイクリングのコースがありましたが、島についての説明がいろいろ聞けたのでまた水牛車に乗って良かったと思いました。小さい島なので1日で周れるこのツアーはとても良かったです。

I was very satisfied with the many tourist spots that can only be accessed by rental car! In a word, it was a tour full of activities! Everything was fun!

レンタカーなしでは行けない観光地にたくさん行けて大満足でした！ひとことで言うと、盛りだくさん！なツアーでした。全部楽しかったです！

I am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a tour that showcases such untouched nature. I recommend it to those who have visited Okinawa several times.

However, on the day of the tour I participated in, the bus was slightly delayed from the meeting time. Although we were told to contact them in case of delays, the contact number provided in the printed itinerary was unreachable before the boarding time, which raised some concerns. I suggest that the planning company confirm this with the local company, including whether my observation was correct.

こういったありのままの自然しかないところをツアーとして楽しく見せていただいたことに感謝です。何回か沖縄に行かれたかたにはおすすめです。
なお、たまたま私が参加したツアーでは当日、バスが集合時間から若干送れましたが、遅れた場合必ず連絡するようにと言われていたにもかかわらず、私が印刷していた企画書では、その場合の連絡先の電話番号が搭乗時刻前にはそもそも音信が取れないことにになっていたなどいかがと思われることもありましたので(私のこの指摘が間違っていなかったかどうかなども含め)企画会社の方では現地会社と確認してください。

I thought it was a great tour that allowed us to efficiently visit sightseeing spots at an affordable price, offering excellent value for money! I was glad not to have to use a rental car. The vehicle was thoroughly sanitized for COVID-19 precautions, and we were required to disinfect when boarding the bus.

Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious sandwich that was served as a light lunch! We also enjoyed some chin-suko as a snack along the way!

The bus guide provided detailed explanations, which was great! I had a wonderful bus tour experience and would love to participate again on a different route!

効率よく観光名所に行けて金額もお手頃でコスパ最高なツアーだと思いました！
レンタカー使わずにと思っていたので、とても助かりました♪
車内はコロナ対策を徹底しており、バスの乗車の際には必ず消毒をしていました。
また、お昼に軽食のサンドイッチが出て期待していなかったですが、とても美味しかったです(*´ρ`*)
途中、おやつにちんすこうもいただきました！

バスガイドさんも丁寧に説明してくださってよかったです！
とても素敵なバスツアー体験できました。
また違うルートで参加したいと思いました！！

The plan itself is commendable. Especially since places like the area around Higashimura and the Quina exhibition facility are difficult to access, this is helpful.

Since it's a loop, the seats on the right side are on the land side and can be dazzling in the sun during this time of year. Additionally, since the windows are generally closed, there may be ventilation issues if there are many participants.

It might also be a good idea to start from Nago or Motobu instead of Naha to increase the number of stay points.

企画そのものは評価できる。特に東村周辺やクイナ展示施設等は行きにくい場所にあるので、助かる。
周回なので右側席は陸側かつこの時期は日向側でまぶしい。また、基本的に窓は締切なので参加者が多い場合は換気の問題が出る。
那覇でなく名護・本部発にして滞在ポイントを増やしても良いかもしれない。

Since it was my first time in the Yaeyama Islands, I joined this tour that allows you to visit three islands in one day. It was packed with activities, and by the end, I had such a fulfilling day that I was completely exhausted.

It was a sunny day in July, so it was really hot, and staying hydrated and protecting against UV rays were essential. The UV levels are said to be seven times higher than in Tokyo. Since this is a daytime tour, I think it's especially important for those visiting in the summer to take precautions.

The guide's stories were all fascinating, and I got a glimpse into the history of the islands and the lives of the residents, which made me want to learn more about the Yaeyama Islands. It was a valuable experience. Thank you very much.

初めての八重山諸島だったので、１日で三島巡りができるこちらのツアーに参加しました。盛りだくさんな内容で、終わるとぐったりするほど充実した１日を過ごすことができました。

7月のよく晴れた日でしたので、とにかく暑く水分補給と紫外線対策が必須でした。紫外線量は東京の7倍だそうです。日中のツアーなので、夏に行かれる方は特に対策されるのがいいかと思います。

ガイドさんのお話はどれも興味深く、島の歴史や住民の方々の暮らしを垣間見ることができ、八重山諸島のことをもっと知りたくなりました。貴重な体験ができました。ありがとうございました。

The staff and course were wonderful. I was able to fully enjoy my first experience in Okinawa. I encountered sea turtles and rays, which are said to be difficult to see while in a submarine. At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was overwhelmed by the impressive size of the whale sharks and mantas. I enjoyed the famous Kouri Bridge from the commercials, tropical fruits, and had a delicious hamburger at American Village. I look forward to having various experiences with VELTRA in the future.

スタッフ・コースがすばらしかったです。初体験の沖縄を満喫することができました。サブマリンでは見ることが難しいと言われるウミガメ・エイに遭遇できました。美ら海水族館ではジンベエザメやマンタ、迫力あるビッグサイズに圧倒されました。CMで有名な古宇利大橋と南国フルーツ、アメリカンビレッジではハンバーガーを堪能してきました。これからもVELTRA
さんでいろんな経験をしたいと思っています。

I was amazed by the views of the large rock formations at the Oishi Forest and was able to see the mangroves up close from the walking path. In the Kuina Forest, I had the chance to observe the adorable Yanbaru Kuina up close. The weather was also favorable, and from Cape Hedo at the northernmost point, I could see Yoronjima. I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sea and mountains in the Yanbaru World Heritage Site.

遊歩道からマングローブを間近に見たり、大石林山の景観に圧倒されました。また、クイナの森では愛らしく動くヤンバルクイナを間近で観察できました。
天候にも恵まれ、最北端の辺戸岬からは与論島を見ることができました。
やんばるの世界自然遺産の海と山の素晴らしさに感動しました。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun participating in the packed tour. I was able to meet Jinbeijime-kun and many fish at the Churaumi Aquarium. There was never enough time! The tour guide from Taiwan was knowledgeable and guided us skillfully, keeping us entertained until the very end. I also appreciate the driver for safely navigating the 200-kilometer journey. I want to visit Okinawa again and this time, I’d like to check out American Village and the nearby islands. Thank you very much!

お天気に恵まれて、盛りだくさんのツアーに参加できて楽しかったです。美ら海水族館でジンベイジメくんやたくさんの魚たちに会えました。時間が足りないところばかりでした！
台湾出身の添乗員さんは知識豊富で上手な誘導で最後の最後まで楽しませて下さいました。ドライバーさんも200キロもの行程を安全に運転してくださり感謝です。
また沖縄を訪れて、今度はアメリカンビレッジや離島に行ってみたいです。
にふぇーでーびたん！

The round-trip bus transfer to the hotel was very smooth, allowing the tour to proceed seamlessly! Even though it was a tour, there was plenty of free time for exploration, which was great. We set sail on a boat and immediately headed to the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island... The explanations were very easy to understand, and I was satisfied! After that, we moved by bus and rode water buffalo to Yufu! While enjoying the scenery from the water buffalo, we explored the botanical garden in Yufu and had delicious food! Afterward, we returned by bus and took a boat to Taketomi Island... The bus tour included a stroll on the star sand and sightseeing in Taketomi by water buffalo... everything was fantastic‼︎ On the way back, we adjusted the bus transfer schedule and explored the bustling streets of Ishigaki, where I was able to buy souvenirs! If I had to mention one thing, it would be that the remote islands don't have trash cans, so it's better to bring a bag for your trash. Thank you very much! (^^)

宿泊ホテルまでバスで往復送迎していただき、とってもスムーズにツアーを進めてくださいました！ツアーなのに、自由散策も多く、いい所取りでした。船で出航し、すぐに西表島のマングローブクルーズへ…説明もとっても分かりやすく、満足です！その後バスで移動し、水牛に乗って由布へ！ドラマの中に入り込んだような水牛からの景色を見ながら、由布では植物園散策に美味しいご飯！その後バスで戻り船で竹富島へ…バス観光で星砂散策し、水牛で竹富観光…どれをとっても最高でした‼︎帰りは一本バス送迎をずらし、石垣の繁華街を散策し、お土産も買って帰れました！一つあげるなら、離島はゴミ箱がなく、ゴミを持つための袋を持参した方がいいかなと思いました。ありがとうございました(^^)

I participated in this tour because I wanted to visit many popular tourist spots during my first trip to Okinawa. This tour, which includes various ticket prices and transportation costs, offers great value for money! The bus guide's stories about Okinawa's history and geography were very educational. Additionally, they played the shamisen, and everyone on the bus was able to enjoy it together!

~Disappointing Points~

The sightseeing time was short, and overall, we had to act quickly. I particularly wanted to spend more time at the Churaumi Aquarium.

The Okashi Hondan was just a souvenir shop, so I personally think it wasn't necessary for the tour.

初めての沖縄旅行で、人気観光スポットをたくさんまわりたいと思いこのツアーに参加しました。
各種チケット料金も移動費も含まれたこちらのツアーはコスパも最高です*＼(^o^)／*
バスガイドさんの話は沖縄の歴史や地理を学べ、大変、勉強になりました。また、三味線を演奏して下さり、バスの中で参加者が一体となって楽しめました♪

〜残念な点〜

観光時間が短く、全体的に焦って行動しなければならない。特に美ら海水族館はもう少し見たかった。

御菓子本殿はただのお土産屋だったので個人的にはツアーになくていいと思いました。

I recommend the Odd Rock and Giant Stone Course for exploring Oishi Forest Mountain. There are various power spots, and I received a lot of energy. It was amazing to see the Okinawa Rail as well.

大石林山の散策は奇岩・巨石コースがおすすめです。色々とパワースポットがあり、いっぱいパワーを頂きました。ヤンバルクイナも見学できて最高でした。

I previously participated in this course when the Churaumi Aquarium was included. It was fun back then, but I joined again because there were several facilities in Yanbaru that weren't part of the course before.

The Yanbaru Kuina was incredibly cute! Just that made it worth coming. Even though it was through glass, I could observe it quite closely. The seafood set lunch and the souvenir snacks were all delicious as well.

Perhaps because it was Sunday, the cafeteria was quite crowded, and the guide who brought the food seemed to have a tough time. Thank you for your hard work...

I was very satisfied with the content. I would like to participate again.

以前美ら海水族館がコースに入っていた頃に参加した事があります。その時も楽しかったのですが、このコースは以前はなかったやんばるの施設がいくつかあったため再び参加しました。
ヤンバルクイナちゃんがとにかく可愛かった！これだけでも来てよかった。ガラス越しですがかなりじっくり観察できます。お昼の海鮮定食やお土産のお菓子もみんな美味しかったです。
日曜だからか食堂がかなり混んでて、運んでくれるガイドさんが大変そうだった。お疲れ様です…
内容はかなり満足。また参加したいです。

There was a pickup near the hotel, and once we got on the bus, it was smooth sailing! We were taken to various sightseeing spots, and there was plenty of time to enjoy everything!

ホテル付近までお迎えがあり、そこからバスに乗り込むと後は楽ちん♫色々な観光地に連れてっていただけます＾＾時間も充分あり満喫することができました！

It was my first time island hopping, and I was able to fully enjoy each island, which made me very satisfied! If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely like to participate again!

初めての離島巡りでしたが、どの島も満喫でき、とても満足できました！次回くることがあればまたぜひ参加したいです！

I participated in this trip as a solo traveler. Although I felt a bit lonely since there were no other solo travelers, the continuous beautiful scenery made me forget about that. If I could be a little selfish, I would have liked to extend my stay on Iriomote Island and do a bit more sightseeing by bus. Conversely, I think half the time on Yufu Island would have been sufficient. I appreciated that on Taketomi Island, I could choose my return time. As a solo traveler, I was able to see everything quickly, so I had extra time. Overall, it was a wonderful tour that created lovely memories.

今回は一人旅で参加しました。
他に一人旅の人がいなくて少し寂しい気がしましたが、それを忘れる位の素敵な風景の連続でした。
しいてわがままを言わせていただければ、西表島の滞在時間を少しのばして、もう少しバスで観光したかったです。
逆に由布島は半分くらいの時間でも十分だったと思います。
竹富島は帰りの時間が選べるのは良かったと思いました。
一人旅だとあっという間に見て回れるので時間が余るくらいでした。
トータル的には素敵な思い出が出来たツアーでした。

The price for this bus tour, which runs almost every day, is unbeatable. I think it's the best value for money. The tour guide mentioned it was their first day on the job, but they were very considerate in many ways. I believe it's a very good company.

ほぼ全日のバスツアーでこの金額。
コスパ最強だと思います。
担当された添乗員さんが初めての勤務だと仰っていたが、色々とお気遣い出来ていました。
とても良い会社だと思います。

I participated with my elderly parents. It was helpful that the tour started and ended in Naha City. I was glad to finally visit Cape Hedo and Daichi Forest, and to meet Kuta-kun, the Okinawa rail! The tour was the day after the rainy season ended, so it was sunny and hot, but the bus travel made it comfortable!

高齢の両親と参加しました。
那覇市内発着が助かりました。
一度行ってみたかった辺戸岬や大石林山、ヤンバルクイナのクータ君にも会えて良かったです！
梅雨明けの次の日にツアーだったので晴天で暑かったけどバス移動なのでらくちんでした！

Renting a car is definitely more cost-effective, and it allowed me to shop and sightsee without rushing! However, I did think the driving was a bit rough at times! w

レンタカー借りてめぐるより、断然お得だし時間も急ぐことなく余裕もって買い物や観光ができました！
ただ、ちょっと運転は荒いかな？と思いました！w

The guidance at Ishigaki Port was very polite, and there was no confusion! The experience on Taketomi Island was also smooth. However, I regret not having made a reservation for a rental bicycle in advance, as everywhere was fully booked. Walking around the island during my free time was a bit tiring.

石垣港での案内もとても丁寧で迷うところなし！
竹富島での体験もスムーズでした。
ただ一つ、レンタサイクルがどこも予約でいっぱいで事前に手配しておけばよかったと後悔....。
自由時間中、徒歩で島を回るのは少ししんどかったです。

It was better than I had expected. Especially the trekking. I am satisfied. The local guide at Yanbaru National Park was also attentive and good.

考えていた以上によかった。
とくにトレッキング。満足してます。
やんばる国定公園での現地ガイドも丁寧で良かったです。

The content itself is not bad. They distributed some souvenir-like items, but I didn't expect them and they are unnecessary. Unnecessary costs reflect in the price, so they should stop that. However, overall, I think it's reasonable.

内容自体悪くない。　なんかおみやげ的なものを配布されたが、期待していないし不要。無駄なコストは価格に反映するので辞めるべき。
　でも、総合的にリーゾナブルだと思う。

Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island tour. The various plants and animals, sightseeing by water buffalo cart, mangroves, and the beautiful sea—all of it was wonderful. I would love to visit again.

西表島、湯布島、竹富島の三島めぐり。いろんなな動植物
水牛車での観光、マングローブ、美しく海、全てが素敵でした。また訪れたいですね

I visited Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and I rode a water buffalo twice. It was fun to cross the sea and ride around the islands while listening to the sanshin. The lunch bento was also a great value, allowing us to enjoy Okinawan ingredients. However, I was a bit disappointed that the mangrove tour lacked variety and felt very long and boring. That's why I gave it four stars.

西表島、由布島、竹富島、島巡りをし水牛には2度乗りました。海を渡ったり、島の中を三線を聞きながら乗ったりと楽しかったです。
お昼のお弁当も沖縄の食材を味わえお得感がありました。ただ少し残念だったのは、マングローブ遊覧には変化がなく、とても長く感じて退屈しました。
それで星4つにさせていただきました。

It was my first trip to Okinawa in 20 years.
I was able to efficiently visit the places I wanted in a short amount of time, and I had a very fulfilling experience.
The guide was cheerful and provided excellent service, which was wonderful.
I would love to have more tours planned.
Personally, I would also like to visit the underwater road.
Thank you very much!

20年ぶりの沖縄旅行でした
短い時間で効率よく行きたいところに回れてとても充実した時間を過ごせました
ガイドさんも明るくて、丁寧な対応、素晴らしかったです
また色々なツアーを企画してもらいたいです
個人的には海中道路の方も行きたいです
ありがとうございました

Since my flight was around 7 PM on the last day of my trip, I wanted to make the most of the half day and made a reservation two days prior. It happened to be a day of high tide, so we were able to take a route on the Nakama River cruise that usually cannot be accessed due to low water levels, allowing us to see mangroves that can only be found there. However, the water level was so high that the roots, which are a characteristic of mangroves, were almost submerged. I feel that experiencing the jungle-like atmosphere of the mangroves would be better during low tide. We sat on the right side of the boat, but since the boat traveled upstream along the left bank, I wished we had sat on the left side. (This also depends on the water level, so it can't be said definitively.)

On Yubu Island, we had 90 minutes of free time, including lunch. It takes less than an hour to walk around the entire island, so the time was sufficient. Since the return trip goes via Taketomi Island, if you have extra time, I recommend getting off at Taketomi Island to explore by rental bicycle or ox cart. You can ride an ox cart on Yubu Island, so personally, I think it's best to cycle around Kondoi Beach and Kaiji Beach.

Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island and enjoy more activities on the island.

旅行最終日が19時頃の飛行機だったので半日を有効活用したいと思い、二日前に予約を取りました。ちょうど大潮の日の満潮時だったので仲間川のクルーズでは普段水位が足りなくて通ることができないコースを通ることができ、そこでしか見られないマングローブを見ることができました。ただ、水位が高過ぎてマングローブの特徴である根っ子はほぼ水没していました。マングローブのジャングルらしさを味わうなら干潮時の方がいいような気がします。私達はボート右側に座ったのですが、ボートは左岸に沿って川を遡ったので左側に座れば良かったと思いました。（これも水位によって航行ルートが変わるので一概には言えませんが）
由布島では昼食を含めて90分の自由時間がありました。島全体は1時間もかからずに一周できるので時間は充分です。帰りは竹富島経由なので時間に余裕があるなら竹富島で降りて、レンタサイクルや牛車で島を観光することをお勧めします。由布島で牛車に乗れるので、個人的にはレンタサイクルでコンドイ浜やカイジ浜を回るのが良いかと。
次回は西表島に宿泊してもっと島内のアクティビティを楽しみたいです。
