All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

The course and fees were reasonable. However, the tour guide from Saitama had a low, fast-paced voice and was not good at explaining things, which was the worst part. Also, using the audio guide on the bus was unnecessary, and it was only used for that purpose. There was no explanation of what it was for, and when I filed a complaint, I was met with anger, claiming they had explained it!

コースも料金もまとも。ただ、埼玉から移住の添乗員が、低音早口、説明下手で、最悪でした。また、バス内で、音声ガイド使用は不用だし、しかもそれに使用するだけ。何に使うか？の説明無いから、クレーム入れたら、説明した❗️と、逆ギレされました。

I was prepared for the rainy season, but the guide explained various things and helped distract me. It was lucky that the rain stopped just where we were walking.

梅雨で覚悟はしてたけどガイドさんが色々説明してくれて気をまぎらわしてくれました
歩くところだけ雨があがったのでラッキーでした

First, the final confirmation email only mentioned that the meeting place was the Hilton in Chatan, and when I called to confirm, I was told it was a location with parking. It would be better to provide more details since there are several parking areas. I was quite anxious in the morning. Everything else was very good! The stories explained by the guide along the way were also educational!

まず、最後の確認のメールに集合場所が北谷ヒルトンとしか記載がなく電話で確認すると駐車場がある場所と言われましたが駐車場も何箇所があるので詳しく書いた方がいいです。朝から焦りました。それ以外はとてもよかったです！途中でガイドさんが説明してくれる話も勉強になりました！

It was great that there was a shuttle service at the hotel. The weather was perfect, and it was adorable to ride the water buffalo twice. It was a tour that kept me entertained from start to finish.

ホテルに送迎があるのがとても良かった。
お天気も最高で、水牛に2回も乗って可愛かった。
次から次へと飽きないツアーでした。

Unfortunately, due to the rain, the glass-bottom boat tour was canceled, and we switched to a bus tour and a water buffalo cart, but I had a great time. The bus tour guide and the water buffalo cart guide explained everything very clearly, and during the water buffalo cart ride, they sang "Naiyuu Soosoo" with the Okinawan shamisen, which was very moving. The scenery was exactly what I had seen in photos and knew to be Okinawa, and I was truly impressed.

あいにく雨で、グラスボートは中止になってしまいバス観光と水牛車になりましたが十分楽しめました。バス観光のガイドさん、水牛車のガイドの方もとてもわかりやすく説明してくれ、水牛車では沖縄三味線で“涙そうそう〟を唄ってくれたのがグッときました。
景色が私が写真とかで見て知ってるこれぞ沖縄‼︎で感動しました。

I have participated in similar tours several times, but this was my first experience visiting the Churaumi Aquarium first. However, this course is more efficient. It's a classic, but seeing the whale shark always brings a sense of calm. For lunch, I had yakisoba at the aquarium, but it was almost like "yakiudon." Manza Beach had a nice parking lot, but the old cluttered souvenir shops are gone, and it feels like the Okinawan charm that reminded me of Asia has disappeared, which made me a bit sad. Like everywhere else, it's unfortunate that due to COVID-19, we can't sample products at the souvenir shops. American Village is geared towards young people, so I found myself with too much free time. Overall, I think the cost performance of the tour is good.

I boarded from in front of the Okinawa Prefectural Office, but since there was no staff, it seems that the meeting place is difficult to find for first-timers.

これまで何度か同様のツアーに参加していますが、最初に美ら海水族館を訪れるパターンは初めてでした。でもこのコースのほうが効率的です。定番ですがジンベイザメはいつ見ても気持ちがおだやかになります。昼食は水族館内で焼きそばをいただきましたが、ほとんど「焼うどん」でした。万座毛は駐車場がきれいになっていましたが、昔のごちゃごちゃした土産物店がなくなり、アジアを連想させる沖縄らしさが消えてしまったようで、少し寂しく感じました。どこでもそうですが、コロナの影響で、土産物売り場で試食ができないのはやはり残念です。アメリカンビレッジは若者向けですので、じいさんは時間を持て余しました。ツアー全体としてはコスパはよいと思います。
なお沖縄県庁前から乗車しましたが、係員がいないため、初めての人には集合場所がわかりにくいようです。

The mangrove tour was amazing! The guide's explanations were interesting and their knowledge was incredible!

The water buffalo was cute too!

マングローブツアー最高でした！ガイドさんの説明が面白くて知識も半端なかった！

水牛も可愛かった！

On the day of the event, the weather changed rapidly; just when I thought it was pouring rain, shortly after, there was strong sunshine that could dry wet clothes in no time. However, I was told that this is not particularly unusual for the area, so I think it's better for participants to prepare rain gear even if it's sunny in Naha.

When traveling in Okinawa, especially on the main island, tourists who cannot drive have a very limited range of activities, so tours that take you to distant places are very appreciated. It would be helpful if more options could be added.

参加当日はとにかくお天気がころころ変わり、強い雨に降られたと思ったら、その少し後には、濡れた衣服もあっという間に乾いてしまいそうな強い日差しが…
でも、この地域では特に珍しいことではないと言われましたので、参加される方は那覇では晴れていても雨具の用意はしていったほうがいいかと思います。
沖縄旅行、特に本島では、車を運転できない観光客は行動範囲がかなり狭くなってしまうので、このような遠方まで連れて行ってくれるツアーはとてもありがたいものでした。
さらに種類を増やしていただけると助かります。

Last year, when I visited Taketomi Island, I was captivated by the water buffalo, so this time I wanted to ride one by the seaside and joined this tour. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but I was still able to enjoy the mangroves on Iriomote Island, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, and the water buffalo on Taketomi Island. Especially on Yubu Island, I was able to touch the water buffalo, which was amazing. I think it would have been even more fun if the weather had been clear, so I hope to visit again someday.

昨年、竹富島に行った際に水牛に魅せられてから、今度は海辺で水牛に乗りたいと思い、本ツアーに参加しました。あいにくの雨天でしたが、西表島でのマングローブも由布島での水牛も、竹富島での水牛も楽しむことができました。特に由布島では水牛に触れることもできて最高でした。晴天だったらもっと楽しいだろうなと思いますので、いつか再訪したいと思います。

We went with our 5 and 3-year-old children, and the experience was so packed that we enjoyed it without wasting any time. I would like to go again next time.

5歳3歳の子連れで行きました、１日で凝縮したような内容なんで無駄な時間なく楽しめました。
また行く時はお願いしたいです

Unfortunately, the weather was bad, but that's why it was great to easily visit the sightseeing spots on the bus tour. Listening to the shamisen live performance while enjoying Ryukyu cuisine was the highlight. I highly recommend it!

あいにく天気は悪かったですが、だからこそバスツアーで楽に観光名所を巡れてよかったです。
あんがまでの三味線ライブを聴きながらの琉球料理はハイライトでした。
おススメです！

At the first destination, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we were able to spend about two and a half hours exploring, including lunch. Since we had brought our own bento, we didn't need to spend time waiting in line at the shops or restaurants for lunch, which gave us some extra time. If it were crowded, it might be a bit tight to see everything.

After that, we visited Kouri Island, Manzamo, and Okashi Goten, but the stay at each location was about 20 minutes, so it felt a bit rushed, and we were busy getting on and off the bus.

The veteran bus guide had prepared various stories to keep us entertained during the journey, which was enjoyable. That said, it wasn't too lively, so if you're not interested, it's perfectly fine to relax and doze off during the ride.

Considering that the aquarium admission fee is included, I think it's a very good value tour.

最初の訪問地である美ら海水族館では、お昼を挟んで2時間半ほど見学することができました。予め、お弁当を持参していたので、昼飯のために売店やレストランに並ぶ時間が不要だったため、時間的には余裕がありました。混在時だと、全部を観るにはギリギリかも知れません。

その後、古宇利島・万座毛・御菓子御殿と続けての訪問になったのですが、各所の滞在時間が20分程度なのでやや駆け足なのと、バスに乗ったり降りたりと忙しい感じでした。

ベテランのバスガイドさんが、道中を飽きさせないようにいろいろとネタを用意してくれていて、楽しめました。とは言え、それほど賑やかでもないので、興味が無ければゆっくり居眠りしながらの移動も大丈夫だと思います。

水族館の入場料も込みということで、大変お得なツアーだと思います。

As others have mentioned, there were various souvenirs along the way, and the content was rich and enjoyable, making it a truly wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

Personally, I felt that our guide, Uchida, was very professional yet approachable, adding a special touch to the overall tour. (It seemed like he had done a lot of studying as well.)

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

他の方が書いていらっしゃるとおり、ところどころでいろいろなお土産がついたり、内容も濃く、楽しく、とても素晴らしかったです。
有難うございます。

個人的にはガイドのウチダさんがとてもプロでかつ親しみやすく全体のツアーに彩を加えていたように感じでいます。（いろいろ勉強もされている様子）

機会があればまた参加したいです。

I missed the return boat. There were many tour operators' boats, and while I was checking the time at the boarding area, I ended up missing my tour's boat. I understand it was my own carelessness, but for someone visiting for the first time, it's normal to wait at the boarding area, and I wish the return boat schedule was a bit clearer.

帰りの船に乗れませんでした
沢山の観光業者の船があり、
乗船場に記入している時刻を見てしまい
自分のツアーの船に乗れませんでした
自身の不注意とはわかっていますが、
初めて行った者は普通に乗船場で待機するし、
帰りの船の時刻がもう少しわかりやすいと
いいなと思いました

I participated in a bus tour during Golden Week. Unfortunately, it rained, but the bus guide shared stories about the history of Okinawa, and I learned so much that was new to me. Since it was raining, the bus guide and the driver kindly offered umbrellas to keep themselves dry, which was very thoughtful! The bus guide also sang songs, and it was a lot of fun! At the end, they sang "Hana," and it was very moving. Thank you very much! I would like to join again next time when it's sunny.

GWにバスツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、バス内ではバスガイドさんが沖縄の歴史についてお話をしてくれて初めて知る沖縄ばかりでした。
雨だったので、バスガイドさんと運転手さんが濡れないように傘を差し出してくれたりとても親戚でした！
あとバスガイドさんが歌を歌ってくれてすごく楽しかったです！最後に花を歌ってくださり、とても感動しました。ありがとうございました！
また次は晴れたときに参加したいです。

The weather was clear on the day, and I was able to participate happily. The lunch was more delicious than I imagined, and I was satisfied to eat while looking at the sea. It's a tour where you can fully enjoy nature!

当日は晴れて、楽しく参加出来ました。お昼は想像以上に美味しく、海を見ながら食べることが出来、満足です。自然を堪能できるツアーです！

I received my ticket and boarded the boat. It was as smooth as a production line. The lunch on Yufu Island was even more delicious than I expected! I had a great time. I think it was more cost-effective than arranging everything individually.

チケットを渡され、船に乗ります。流れ作業のようにスムーズでした。由布島での昼食も予想以上に美味しかったです！とても楽しかったです。
普通に個人で手配して回るよりコスパがいいと思いました。

The Churaumi Aquarium was amazing, and I also got to visit Pineapple Park, which was the best! I was very satisfied to also go to Manzamo.

The infection control measures were thorough, with no eating on the bus and disinfection every time we boarded!

I felt safe participating in the tour even during the COVID-19 pandemic!

美ら海水族館以外にパイナップルパークに行けて最高!
万座毛にも行けて大満足

感染対策も万全で
バスでの食事禁止!乗るときは毎回消毒!

コロナ禍でも安心してツアー参加できました!

Overall, I was satisfied with the course. However, the ventilation inside the vehicle was unclear and not explained. Social distancing was not maintained. We were warned to stay tightly together during the journey. There may be a reason from the tour guide's side, as it could be difficult if someone gets separated, but on this day, the tour guide seemed to prioritize their own convenience and was very businesslike in their approach. I believe it all comes down to how things are communicated. I went with a fun mindset, but it was disappointing.

The driving was comfortable and safe. I think the quality of the tour guide can vary.

コースは概ね満足。だが、車内換気は説明なく不明。ソーシャルディスタンスは保持されていなかった。移動中はぎゅっと固まってないと注意される。はぐれたら大変だからという添乗員側の理由があるのだろうが、この日の添乗員、自身のやりやすいように終始されており対応が事務的。何ごとも言い方だと思うが。せっかく楽しい気持ちで行ったのに。
運転は心地よく安全。添乗員はたぶん当たり外れがあると思う。

The glass boat was lost due to the rain and wind, but they provided a refund, and it was great that my 3 and 5-year-olds were able to explore Taketomi Island and ride the water buffalo.

雨風でグラスボートが無くなりましたが、返金対応もしていただき、3歳5歳は竹富島を散策して水牛には乗れたので良かったです。

Time was really tight!!!
Due to the crowds during Golden Week, there were places I couldn't see at all ( ;ᯅ;)
Wait, is it already time to gather!? That happened a few times (laughs).
If you want to take your time and see each place thoroughly, it's better to rent a car yourself...
However, if you want to visit a lot of places, this is a great plan!
You can visit many of the sightseeing spots you were interested in in just one day!

Also, since I had a child with me, the bus rides were long, so I should have brought more toys and picture books...!!

What was fun was indeed fun!

時間がかなりカツカツ！！！
gwで混んでいることもあり全然見れなかった所もありました( ;ᯅ;)
えっもう集合時間！？みたいな事が何回かありました（笑）
一つ一つをじっくり見たい方は自分でレンタカー借りていったほうが……
ですが沢山回りたい方はいいプラン！
一日で気になっていた観光地を沢山まわれます！


そして子供がいたのですがバスの時間が長いので
おもちゃや絵本をもうすこし持っていくべきでした…！！

楽しかった事は楽しかったです

I had booked the glass board and water buffalo cart course, but I accidentally got mixed up with a different tour. At the water buffalo cart boarding area, the staff contacted the person in charge of the glass board tour for me. Even though the glass board tour had already ended, they kindly allowed us to set sail, and we were able to see beautiful corals and fish, successfully experiencing both activities.

Also, the water buffalo named Mabuya was adorable, and I was healed by the sound of the sanshin and the guide's singing!

Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it!

グラスボードと水牛車のコースを申し込んでいたのですが、間違って違うツアーに紛れ込んでしまいました。水牛車乗り場でスタッフの方にグラスボードの担当の方へ連絡をしてくださり、グラスボードのツアーが終わっていたにもかかわらず、気持ちよく出港してくださり、綺麗な珊瑚やお魚達を見ることができ、無事にどちらも体験することができました。
また、水牛車のマブヤー君も可愛くて三線の音色とガイドの歌声に癒されました！
本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました

I joined because I wanted to go to Daishi Forest Mountain. I was hesitant about traveling to Okinawa since I can't drive, but thanks to this tour, I was able to enjoy both the mountains and the sea in one day! The scenic spots are not just ordinary views, so I definitely recommend getting off the bus and listening to the guide's explanations. The lunch and little gifts were also very delicious.
I think this tour can be enjoyed by a wide range of participants, from preschool children to seniors, making it suitable for all age groups.

大石林山に行きたくて参加しました。運転ができないので沖縄旅行には消極的でしたが、このツアーのおかげで１日で沖縄の山も海も満喫できました！絶景スポットはただの景色ではないので、ぜひ降車して添乗員さんの説明を聞いていただきたいです。昼食もちょっぴりプレゼントもとてもおいしかったです。
参加者は就学前のお子さんからシニアまで幅広く、年齢層を選ばず楽しめるツアーだと思います。

We couldn't rent a car for our first family trip to Okinawa, so we decided to join this tour. It was definitely the right choice. The hotel pick-up service was very helpful. The tour content was truly moving. Both Kouri Island and the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. The family photos taken by the guide were really wonderful. Thank you so much. We were truly taken care of throughout the day. I definitely want to participate in another tour. Okinawa is the best!

初めての家族沖縄旅行でレンタカーを借りられなく、
このツアーに参加を決めました。結果は大正解でした。
ホテルでの送迎サービスがありとても助かりました。
ツアー内容は本当に感動に値するものでした。
古宇利島も美ら海水族館も最高でした。
ガイドさんが撮って頂いた家族写真は本当に素敵でした。
本当にありがとうございました。一日本当にお世話になりました。
また是非別のツアーにも参加したいと思っております。
沖縄最高！

I used Beltora for the first time in a while. The weather was a bit unpredictable with clouds, sunshine, and sudden downpours, but I had a great time. Since I wanted to explore the islands on Ishigaki Island for the first time, I chose a hotel near the terminal. Iriomote Island is full of nature, including mangroves. On the way to Yubu Island, we suddenly encountered a downpour! The water buffalo was lively, though! I had to buy a raincoat to get to the restaurant, and as expected, the downpour stopped right after, and the return trip on the water buffalo cart was sunny (laughs).

Lunch was a standard bento, and nothing particularly memorable stood out. The water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island had great weather, and the water buffalo, Manei-kun, was lively too! We toured the island while listening to the brother's sanshin song, even though walking was clearly faster. It was a cycle of walking a few steps and stopping in the shade. We took a sightseeing bus to the beach with star sand and managed to find and pick up a little bit of star sand. It was nice that there was someone from the same hotel among the tour participants.

久しぶりにベルトラさん利用しました。
お天気は曇ったり晴れたりスコール降ったりと微妙だったけど楽しかったです
初めての石垣島で離島巡りをしたかったのでホテルをターミナル近くにしました
西表島はマングローブなど自然がいっぱい
行きの由布島水牛車でいきなりスコール！水牛は元気だったけど！！
仕方なくレストランまでのためにカッパ買ったら案の定スコール直ぐにやんで帰りの水牛車は晴れました（笑）
ランチは普通の幕の内で特に印象に残るものはなかったです。
竹富島の水牛車はお天気もよく水牛の真栄君も元気良く！
歩いた方が明らかに早い真栄君水牛車に乗ってお兄さんの三線唄聞きながら島巡りしました。４～５歩歩いて日陰で止まる感じ。の繰り返し
星の砂があるビーチまで観光バスで行き頑張って星の砂少しだけど探して拾えました。
たまたまツアー参加者の中に同じホテルの方がいて良かったです。

I'm glad I chose to visit three islands, as it allowed me to enjoy each one at a leisurely pace. Cycling on Taketomi Island was also very pleasant!

３島巡りにしたので、ゆっくりとそれぞれの島を感じながら巡れて良かったです。竹富島のサイクリングも気持ち良かった♪

Arranging your own island-hopping transportation can be a hassle, so I think it's best for beginners to efficiently explore the islands with this tour and then find their favorite island afterward.

Lunch on Yufu Island was delicious, featuring various local ingredients. There was plenty of food, so make sure to come hungry.

I wasn't quite sure about the bus tour details until I participated, so I'll outline the route I took. First, we spent about 15 minutes searching for star sand at Kaiji Beach. The guide will show you how to look for it. If you want to take some home, it's a good idea to bring a ziplock bag for the star sand. We didn't stop at Kondoi Beach, so if you want to go there, consider the rental bicycle plan. After that, we took a stroll down the streets of traditional houses on Taketomi Island. Along the way, we enjoyed ice pops from a local shop and took photos on the street.

This tour involves checking in in the morning to receive tickets for the boat and activities, then gathering at the designated time to have your tickets collected before moving on to the experiences. You'll travel on the same boat as customers from other tour companies.

Seating on the boat is first-come, first-served, so if you want a window seat or to sit with your family, make sure to arrive at the time indicated for boarding. Depending on the boat's departure timing, there might be instances where you can't board early, but this time we were able to board early each time, allowing us to enjoy the window seats.

自分で島巡りの手段を手配するのは面倒なので、初心者はこのツアーで効率的に島を巡って、そのあとお気に入りの島を見つけるという形が良いと思います。

由布島でのお昼ご飯は、この地方の食材をいろいろ食べることができ、美味しかったです。
ちゃんと量があるのでお腹を空かせておきましょう。

参加するまでバス観光の内容がいまいち分からなかったので、私が参加した時のルートを記載しておきます。
まず、カイジ浜で15分ほど星の砂を探しました。探し方はガイドの方が教えてくれます。持って帰りたい場合は、星の砂を入れるジップロックなど持って行った方が良いです。コンドイビーチは降りませんでしたので、行きたい方はレンタサイクルプランにしましょう。
その後、竹富島の民家がある通りをお散歩させてもらいました。途中の商店でアイスキャンデーを食べたり、道で写真を撮ることができました。

このツアーは、朝受付で船やアクティビティのチケットをもらい、時間になったら集まってチケットをもぎってもらって移動や体験、という形のツアーです。他社のツアーのお客さんとおなじ船で移動します。

船の席は先着順になるので、窓際の席や家族と一緒の席に座るなら船の出発ギリギリに行かずに、船に乗れますよ、と案内される時間にしっかり集まる必要があります。船の出発のタイミングによって早めに乗れないこともありそうですが、今回は毎回早めに乗ることができたので、窓際の席を楽しめました。

In one day, I visited five tourist spots, and the duration of my stay at each was just right, making it fulfilling. Since I stayed at a designated hotel for pick-up and drop-off, it was convenient to participate.

一日で、5ヶ所も観光地を巡りましたが、滞在時間も程よくて充実していました。
送迎指定ホテルに宿泊して居ましたので便利に参加出来ました。

I used this service on the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island. Since my departure was at 14:30, I was able to move from the airport without any hassle.

After arriving at Taketomi Island, I boarded a glass-bottom boat. I could see the beautiful seabed and coral reefs clearly.

After getting off the glass-bottom boat, we took a bus to the center of the island. We quickly received guidance for the water buffalo cart and boarded it. Although it wasn't a long time, it was a true Taketomi Island experience.

After getting off the water buffalo cart, I had a little time, so I toured the places I hadn't been able to see.

Overall, the guidance was smooth, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing even in a short time. I'm glad I participated.

In addition to being able to store my luggage at Ishigaki Port, I was also taken to my hotel at the end, which was very convenient.

石垣島到着日に利用しました。
14:30発だったので、空港からの移動も無理なくできました。

竹富島に到着後はグラスボートに乗船。
沖合の海底のようすやサンゴ礁がきれいに見えました。

グラスボートを降りると、バスで島の中心部へ。
すぐに水牛車の案内があり、乗り込みました。
それほど長い時間ではありませんでしたが、これぞ竹富島という体験ができました。

水牛車を降りた後は少し時間があったので、回り切れなかったところを観光しました。

全般的に案内がスムーズで、短時間でも十分観光できました。参加してよかったです。

石垣港で荷物を預かってもらえたほか、最後はホテルまで送ってもらって至れり尽くせりでした。

The morning pickup was a bit of a hassle, but the guide was kind and it was a lot of fun. I was satisfied with the tour in terms of content and cost performance. I was alone this time, but I want to come with my family next time!

朝のピックアップは若干面倒でしたが、ガイドさんも親切でとても楽しかったです。
内容的にも、コスパ的にも満足の行くツアーでした。
今回は一人でしたが、今度は家族で来たいです！
