All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I was looking for a tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island since I couldn't drive. There was a pick-up service from the hotel in Onna Village, and the tour was very fulfilling and great! Even without a car, I was able to visit various places on a day trip.

車が運転できなかったので、美ら海水族館と古宇利島に行けるツアーを探していました。宿泊していた恩納村のホテルまで送迎があり、内容も充実していてとても良かったです！！車がなくても日帰り観光で色々な場所に行けました。

I participated on the last day of my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed a half-day tour from morning until 2:30 PM. During the mangrove cruise, the guide provided very clear explanations. Since it had just rained, there was a rainbow arching over the green mangroves and blue sky, which was refreshing for the soul.

The water buffalo cart to Yufuin was also a lot of fun, as I learned about the buffalo's stories and the history and culture of Yufuin. I would love to visit again!

旅行最終日に参加しました。朝から昼14:30までの半日観光でたっぷり満喫♪マングローブクルーズではガイドさんがとてもわかりやすく案内してくれました。雨上がりだったので、緑のマングローブと青い空に七色の虹がかかり、心が洗われました。
由布島へ渡る水牛車では、牛さんたちのエピソードや由布島の歴史や文化を知れてとても楽しかったです。
また訪れたいな〜

This price is just too surprising! Everything is so good, I highly recommend it! Dinner was also incredibly delicious!

これでこの値段はおどろきすぎます！
全部よすぎてめちゃくちゃおすすめです！
夜ご飯も美味しすぎました！

I was able to efficiently visit various places and had a great time!

I also enjoyed the long-awaited Churaumi Aquarium, which was wonderful!

Since there isn't much time for American Village, I think it might be better to include other spots that can be enjoyed in a short time instead of forcing it into the plan.

I also had a meal where I could see Ryukyu dance, and both the food and drinks were delicious, making for an enjoyable viewing experience.

It was a fantastic value plan! Thank you very much!

効率よく色々まわっていただけて、とても楽しめました！

念願の美ら海水族館も楽しめて、良かったです！

アメリカンビレッジが、かなり時間がないので、無理にプランに入れずに短時間でも楽しめる他スポットを入れても良いかと思いました。

琉球舞踊のみれる食事もつけていただきましたが、食事もお酒も美味しくて、楽しく鑑賞できました。

コスパの素晴らしいプランでした！
ありがとうございました！

I got caught in a little rain, but I was able to use the GO TO discount, and with that price, including admission to the Churaumi Aquarium, it was more than satisfactory. It was a very satisfying tour that included all the places I wanted to visit.

少し雨に降られましたが、ＧＯＴＯも使えて、あの金額、しかも美ら海水族館の入場も含まれるので申し分ありません。行きたいところが全部入っていたとても満足いくツアーでした。

I inquired whether the "designated hotel pick-up" meant they would come to pick me up at my accommodation, and it turned out to be five hotels associated with Jumbo Tours. Fortunately, one of them was just a seven-minute walk from my hotel, so I decided to join the tour.

The itinerary allowed us to efficiently visit the major spots in the northern region that would be difficult to cover in a day on our own, thanks to the guide's advice. In particular, we spent about three hours at the Churaumi Aquarium and even extended our visit to the Tropical Dream Center.

Regarding COVID-19 measures, both the guide and the driver were very considerate, which made me feel quite safe.

Additionally, it was my first time touring while listening to audio guides in eight different languages. Although it may seem rude to the guide, I felt it was better for them to provide supplementary explanations of the timely audio guides rather than repeating the same information each time. Considering the number of foreign travelers, this approach felt appropriate. (Since it was during the pandemic, the GOTO program was only for Japanese people... haha)

『指定ホテル送迎可』は宿泊ホテルに迎えに来てくれるのかと問い合わせしたらジャンボツアーズ社様の関わる５つのホテルでした。幸いに、その一つが宿泊所から徒歩７分の所にありましたので、気を取り直してツアーに参加しました。

内容は、個人では１日ではなかなか回れない北部の主要スポットを、ガイドさんのアドバイスの中で効率よく観光できました。特に、『美ら海水族館』は滞在時間が約3時間！あり、熱帯ドリームセンターまで足を伸ばせました。

コロナ対策については、ガイドさんだけではなく運転手さんも必要以上に配慮されていて大変安心しました。

また、初めて８か国の音声ガイドを聞きながら観光をしましたが、ガイドさんには失礼ですが毎回毎回同じこと喋るよりは、ガイドさんにはその時に旬な音声ガイドの補足を説明していただき、外国の旅行者が多いことを考えるとこれもありと感じました。
（　コロナ禍だったのでGOTOは日本人だけでしたが・・・　笑　）

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for an island-hopping tour! I was able to enjoy various modes of transportation like boats, water buffalo carts, buses, and bicycles! Each experience was short, but that's understandable! It was a bit hectic, but I had a great time! The staff were all polite and friendly, which made it very pleasant! Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島だったので、離島巡りをしたくて申し込みました！
船、水牛車、バス、自転車といろいろ乗れて満喫できました！
それぞれの時間は短いですけど仕方ないですね！
せわしなかったけど満喫できました！
スタッフの方も皆さん丁寧で愛想良く気持ちよかったです！
ありがとうございました！

We were blessed with good weather, and the veteran guide's stories, including the changes in Okinawa, were very well done. The sandwiches were delicious as well. It was a very fulfilling day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

天候に恵まれ、ベテランガイドさんのお話が（沖縄の移り変わり等も入れて....)とてもお上手でした。
サンドウィッチも美味しく頂きました♪。
とても充実した1日観光でした。
有難う御座いました。

The local tour company organizing this tour manages the entire vessel, so you won't be mixed with general passengers, and there's no chance of getting lost along the way. The tour progresses smoothly like a conveyor belt, allowing you to see everything efficiently. The guide on Iriomote Island is also very experienced. On the day of my participation, the wind was strong and the weather was a bit poor, so we didn't stay long on Taketomi Island and quickly wrapped up our cycling. However, if you plan to go to the beach with star sand, it's better to allow at least an hour of extra time. The path is made of sand and small stones, making it difficult to ride quickly. Participants varied from solo travelers to families.

このツアーを主催している地元ツアー会社が運航船を丸ごと管理しているので一般客と混載することがなく、途中で迷うこともありません。流れ作業のようにどんどん進みますが、効率的に見て回れます。西表島のガイドさんも手馴れています。参加日は風が強く少々天候が悪かったので竹富島ではあまり長居せずにサイクリングも早々に引き上げて帰りましたが、星の砂のビーチまで行くなら、1時間以上は時間の余裕をみた方がいいです。砂と小石の道なので走行しにくく、スピードは出せません。参加者は、ひとりから家族連れまでさまざまでした。

It was my first time visiting an outlying island. Although it was a quick visit, I was satisfied with my experience on the island. I think it was a great opportunity to scout for a future trip where I can take my time on a favorite island. However, I was quite anxious during the bus ride because one of the children in the same tour group kept coughing. I felt anger towards the parents traveling with a child who was coughing so much at this time of year. While it might not bother them if it were their own child, for others, it is nothing but a source of fear.

初めての離島。駆け足ではありましたがその島を堪能できて満足でした。気に入った島に次回はゆっきりでかける為の下見としてとても良いと思います。ただ同じツアー参加者のお子さんがずっと咳をしていてソレが気になってバスの中では不安な気持ちでいっぱいでした。この時期のこんなに咳をする子供を連れて旅をする親御さんに怒りを覚えました。自分の子供なら気にならないかもしれませんが他人にとっては恐怖でしかありません。

Both the driver and the guide provided excellent hospitality, and the COVID-19 measures were thorough, allowing us to feel safe throughout our experience.

運転手さん、ガイドさんともにホスピタリティが素晴らしく、コロナ対策もばっちりで安心して過ごせました。

I had a great time leisurely exploring on a water buffalo cart. It was nice to hear the guide's stories as well. Since you can make good use of the free time, I think it's a great tour.

水牛車でのんびりと散策でき、楽しかったです。
ガイドの方のお話も聞くことができ、よかったです。フリータイムも有効に活用ができるので、良いツアーだと思います。

You can visit the famous spots in the northern region in one day. The aquarium is spacious, so three hours was a good amount of time. The emerald green sea is refreshing and definitely worth seeing. I would love to go again.

北部の名所を一日で観光できます。水族館は広いので３時間設定でよかったです。エメラルドグリーンの海は爽快で見ごたえ十分。ぜひまた行きたい。

It was my first time on Ishigaki Island, and I was able to efficiently visit three islands, making it a fulfilling day. I am very satisfied with the experience, so thank you!

初めての石垣島でしたが、効率よく3島をまわることができ充実した一日になりました。内容も大満足ですかありがとうございました。

The mangrove cruise and the water buffalo ride were both very relaxing and enjoyable. The guides for both were experienced and entertaining. I was especially soothed by the laid-back water buffaloes.

マングローブクルーズも水牛のりもとてもまったりしていて楽しかったです。どちらもガイドさんはベテランで面白かったです。特にマイペースの水牛さんたちは癒されました。

The Churaumi Aquarium was not crowded, but including the show and lunch, it felt a bit rushed in just two and a half hours, so I wished I had a little more time.

The guide's explanations were very clear, and they occasionally incorporated the feelings of the Okinawan people, which made me fall in love with Okinawa's unique culture.

I compared several companies for the tour to Churaumi and chose this one because you can board in Naha and get off at Chatan, which is also where my next accommodation is. The arrival time in Chatan was early, allowing me to enjoy my hotel life longer after the sightseeing bus tour.

美ら海水族館は空いていましたが、ショーと昼食を含めて2時間半は慌しかったので　もう少し時間が欲しかったです。

ガイドさんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、ときおり沖縄県民の思いを織り交ぜながら解説してくれて独特の文化を歩む沖縄が大好きになりました。

美ら海へ行くツアーを何社か見比べてこちらに決めたのは　那覇から乗り、次の宿泊地の北谷で降りられる事。その中でも北谷の到着時間が早い事です。こちらの観光バスのあともホテルライフを長く楽しめました。

Although my parents got a bit seasick on the glass-bottom boat, the kids were sparkling with excitement the whole time. Shima-kun, the water buffalo, was wonderfully lazy! We were also healed by the songs of the young man playing the sanshin. I'm grateful for the precious experience on Taketomi Island.

少々グラスボートで親は酔いましたが、子供達は終始目をキラキラさせていました。水牛のシマ君のやる気のなさも最高！笑　お兄さんのサンシンと歌にも癒されました。竹富島の貴重な体験に感謝です。

First, we went on a mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island. It was very pleasant to leisurely explore on a sightseeing boat while listening to the guide's explanations. After that, we crossed to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The flowers along the road to Manta Beach were very beautiful. The tropical flowers like hibiscus and bougainvillea, along with the butterflies, were impressive. The sea beyond was also breathtaking.

Finally, we visited Taketomi Island. We chose a glass-bottom boat and bus tour. The guide was very kind and taught us how to find star sand at Kaiji Beach, and we toured the village on the island, receiving various explanations in a short amount of time. Although we didn't ride the water buffalo cart, we were able to walk nearby and take photos, which was great. Since the time to see the village was short, I would like to take a leisurely stroll next time. It was a charming and very lovely island. I was extremely satisfied to see so many different landscapes in just one day!

最初に西表島でのマングローブクルーズ。ガイドさんの説明を聞きながらのんびり遊覧船での散策は気持ちが良かったです。そのあと由布島へ水牛車で渡ります。マンタの浜までの道沿いのお花がとても綺麗でした。ハイビスカスやブーゲンビリアなど南国らしいお花、蝶々に感動。その先の海にまた感動でした。
最後に竹富島です。我々はグラスボートとバス観光を選択しました。
ガイドさんがとても良い方で、カイジ浜で星砂の見つけ方を教えて頂いたり、島内の集落を回り、短い時間の中いろいろ説明して頂きました。
水牛車には乗りませんでしたが、歩きながら近くで見て写真も撮る事が出来たので良かったです。
集落を見る時間が短かったので、次はゆっくり散策したいです。風情がありとても素敵な島でした。
１日でこれだけ色んな景色が見れて、大満足です！

It was a highly satisfying tour. I was amazed by the mysterious vitality of the mangroves, overwhelmed by the grandeur and power of the Okinawa's Great Stone Forest, and comforted by the cuteness of the Okinawa rail. I grew even fonder of Okinawa. The tour guide and local guides were friendly and very thorough in explaining the local circumstances, which was very educational. The local specialties I tasted here and there were truly delicious. This is a tour I especially recommend for those who feel they have already visited the major tourist spots in Okinawa.

非常に満足感の高いツアーでした。
マングローブの不思議な生命力に驚き、
大石林山の威容・迫力に圧倒され、
ヤンバルクイナの可愛らしさに癒され、
さらに沖縄が好きになりました。
添乗員さんや各地のガイドさんには、
フレンドリーかつ懇切丁寧に現地の事情を
説明していただき、とても勉強になりました。
各地でちょっとずつ食べた名産品も、
まことに美味でありました。
沖縄のメジャーな観光地は一通り行ったなあ、
という方に、特にお勧めしたいツアーです。

Driving long distances can be tough, but traveling by bus was very enjoyable. I definitely want to use it again.

自分で運転すると長距離移動が大変ですが、バスの移動はとても楽でした。また是非利用してみたいと思います。

Even without being able to drive a car, I was able to get around using the ferry, bus, and ox cart! It was fun to visit various islands! It turned out to be a very fulfilling day!

車の運転ができなくても、フェリーとバスと牛車で周れました！いろんな島に行けて楽しかったです！とても充実した1日になりました！

The bus driver on Iriomote Island provided a witty and very entertaining tour guide experience, it was the best! The water buffalo on Yubu Island, while calm, has adorable movements (and thoughts)!

西表島のバスの運転手さんの観光案内、ウィットに富、大変面白く最高⤴️⤴️
油布島の牛車の水牛、おとなしいけど動作(考えている事)が愛らしい‼️

I have been to the Churaumi Aquarium many times, but it was my first time at the Tropical Dream Center. It became a great memory. I will be back again! I was also relieved to see that the bus had thorough infection prevention measures in place.

美ら海水族館は何度も行きましたが、熱帯ドリームセンターはお初でした。いい思い出になりました。またお世話になります！
バスも感染予防策がしっかりされていて安心しました。

I traveled to Taketomi Island and first participated in a bus tour. On that day, it was a private tour with a knowledgeable guide, and I was able to search for star sand. Next, the water buffalo cart ride was more relaxing than I expected, and it was really great!

竹富島に渡り、先ずはバス観光に参加しました。
当日は、貸し切りでガイドの説明が良く、星の砂を探すことが出来ました。
次に水牛車は思った以上に、のんびり出来て、とても良かったです！

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island. Initially, I thought it would be fine to explore the remote island on my own without a plan, but I’m glad I joined this tour as it allowed us to cover a lot efficiently. Although it was a long day for the kids, we had a great time with the water buffalo cart and the mangrove cruise. However, since lunch was stated to be "available for order on-site for toddlers," we didn't include a lunch for the kids. When we ordered at the restaurant, we were told, "that menu is sold out" just as the adults were finishing their meals. In the end, we had to order from other menus, which took up time, so we couldn't fully enjoy Yubu Island, which was disappointing. Also, the waiting time between the glass-bottom boat in Taketomi Island and the water buffalo cart tour was excessively long without any explanation, leaving everyone wondering, "What is this wait for?" I think that’s something that could be improved.

Personally, the highlight for me was the bus driver’s guidance from Nakama Port to the water buffalo cart boarding area. I found it very interesting and felt like the bus ride went by in no time. Overall, I feel that participating in this tour was a good decision.

初石垣島でした。当初は離島に自力でいきあたりばったりでいいかな〜と考えていましたが、このツアーに参加して効率よく回れたのでよかったです。子供には長い1日になったものの、水牛車やマングローブクルーズは楽しく過ごせました。ただ、ランチが「幼児は現地でもオーダー可」となっていたので子供のランチは含めませんでしたが、レストランでオーダーすると、大人が食べ終わる頃に「そのメニューは売り切れでした」と…。結局他のメニューを頼み食べ終わるまでに時間を取られてしまったので、由布島は満喫できなかったのが残念でした。また、竹富島グラスボートから水牛車観光に移るまでの待ち時間がやたら長く説明もなく待ちぼうけだったのでみなさん「この時間は一体？？」という感じになったのが改善できる点かなと思います。
個人的に1番よかったのは、仲間港から水牛車乗り場までのバスドライバーさんの案内。とても興味深く拝聴させていただき、バス移動もあっという間に感じました。総合的には参加してよかったなと感じます。

It was a tour with a lot of travel, but each destination was filled with emotion. On the last day of the trip, I thought everyone would be tired, so I chose the water buffalo cart and bus tour on Taketomi Island. It was the right decision to go with the bus tour. I thought the mangrove boat ride would be a slow and quiet way to enjoy the forest, but it was great with the guide's explanations and the opportunity to take photos. It became a wonderful memory.

移動が多いツアーでしたが、行く先々は感動でいっぱいでした。旅の最終日に参加で疲れもあるだろうと思い、竹富島では水牛車とバスツアーにしました。バスツアーにして正解でした。マングローブ船はゆっくり静かに森林を楽しむのかなと思っていましたが、ガイドさんの説明もあり写真も撮れてよかったです。良き思い出となりした。

The highly trained staff was great. The guide's knowledge and skills were also impressive. I would like to use this service again.

非常に訓練された運行スタッフで良かったです
ガイドさんの知識も技量も高かったです
また利用したいと思います

The tour of Iriomote Island was interesting with explanations about the mangroves. On Yubu Island, I could hear the wonderful singing along with the water buffalo cart and sanshin. Taketomi Island was also great, as I enjoyed a cycling tour under the blue sky. It was a wonderful day.

西表島のツアーは、マングローブの説明も面白く、
　由布島の、水牛車も三線と、素晴らしい歌声が聞けて
竹富島も、青空の元　サイクリングツアーにしてとても良い
一日でした。

Since I was traveling alone, it was great to be taken to various places in just one day! I was happy to be able to use both the water buffalo cart and the rental bicycle.

ひとり旅だったので、１日で色々な所に連れて行ってもらえて楽でした！ 水牛車とレンタサイクルどちらも利用できて良かったです。

It was just Halloween, and American Village was bustling with both adults and children in costumes. Furthermore, the time of arrival coincided perfectly with sunset, which was very beautiful.
Although the time on Kouri Island was a bit short, I still thought it was a great tour overall.

ちょうどハロウィンでしたが、アメリカンビレッジは大人も子供も仮装した方が多く活気が溢れていました。さらに、到着した時刻がちょうどサンセットでとても美しかったです。
古宇利島の時間が少し短かったですが、それも含めた上でも良いツアーだと思いました。
