All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I used this for a family trip. The locals were warm, and I had a great experience. I was very satisfied to buy pineapples cheaply on Yufu Island.

家族旅行で利用しました。
現地の皆さんも温かく、良い経験ができました。
由布島でパイナップルを安く買えて大満足です。

The guide's stories were very easy to listen to, and I was moved by the song after the storytelling. The driver ensured a safe and pleasant bus tour experience.

This was my first trip to Okinawa, and I had a great time while feeling the warmth of the local people. I was able to return home with wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

I thought driving would be difficult due to the distance, so I joined a bus tour! It was a great deal since they took us to various sightseeing spots. The meeting place at the Prefectural Office Square was easy to find and convenient.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see the whale shark up close, and I was very satisfied with the dolphin show as well! The little gifts of chin-suko and pineapple sherbet were a nice touch.

Unfortunately, the weather was not great for the views at Manzamo and Kouri Island, but I would like to participate in other tours with Veltra when I visit Okinawa again!

レンタカーを借りての移動は距離もあり運転も大変だと思い、バスツアーに参加！！色々な観光名所に連れて行ってもらえるのでお得なツアーでした。
集合場所の県庁前県民広場は、わかりやすく良かったです。
美ら海水族館では、ジンベイザメを間近で見る事ができ、そしてイルカショーも見て大満足でした！！
ちんすこうとパイナップルシャーベットのちょっぴりプレゼントは嬉しかったです。
万座毛と古宇利島での景色はあいにくのお天気だったので残念でしたが、また沖縄に行く時にはベルトラさんの他のツアーにも参加したいと思います！

There were some negative reviews, which made me a bit worried, but in reality, it wasn't like that at all. The staff were very pleasant!

However, riding the bicycle can be quite tiring (^^; There are many sandy areas that can get your tires stuck! I wonder if an electric bike or a water buffalo would have been better (´ω`；).

口コミに悪い意見もあり
少し心配していましたが
実際はそんなことなく
スタッフの方々も感じが良かったです！

ただ自転車結構疲れます(^^;
砂地が多くタイヤとられます！
電動や水牛の方が
よかったのかな〜とは
思いました(´ω`；)

I was able to smoothly enjoy the island-hopping tour. During the bus ride from Iriomote Island to the water buffalo cart boarding area, the driver's unique commentary was great, and the staff with the water buffalo cart entertained us with folk songs, making the trip enjoyable. Renting a bicycle to explore Taketomi Island allowed me to take it easy and go at my own pace, which was wonderful.

3島巡りをスムーズに観光する事が出来ました。
西表島から水牛車乗り場へのバス移動の際、運転手さんのユニークな案内も良かったし、水牛車の係りの方も民謡を聞かせてくださり、旅を盛り上げて頂き楽しく過ごす事ができました。
自転車を借りて竹富島巡りはのんびりと自分のペースで過ごせて良かったです。

Pineapple Park was more like an amusement park than I had imagined. I was expecting just a simple pineapple field. It's better to think of it as geared towards children.

パイナップルパークは遊園地化されていたので想像と違っていた。
単なるパイナップル畑を想像してました。
子供向けと考えた方が良いです。

Since I was traveling with my elderly grandparents, I was looking for a tour-type island-hopping experience rather than going individually. I was able to enjoy Taketomi Island, which I was most looking forward to, and I was also satisfied with visiting Iriomote Island and Yubu Island together. The weather wasn't very good, but the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo were impressive. While I can't say it was completely relaxing, I was able to spend a fulfilling day at a relatively leisurely pace. I'm glad I allocated a longer time for Taketomi Island.

高齢の祖父母も一緒の旅行でしたので、個人ではなくツアータイプの離島めぐりを探していました。
一番期待していた竹富島も楽しめましたし、西表島と由布島も一緒に行けて満足できました。
天候はあまりよくなかったのですが、マングローブクルーズと水牛が印象的でした。
のんびりゆっくり…とは言い切れませんが、それなりにゆっくりしながら充実した一日を過ごせました。竹富島は長めの時間にしておいてよかったです。

I’m not good at deciding on courses myself, so I decided to ask for help here.

Everything went smoothly and on time, and I was able to enjoy myself without any worries like, “Is this the right destination?”

The bus driver on Iriomote Island was the best. The lunch on Yubu Island was delicious. On Taketomi Island, I chose the bus tour and water buffalo ride. There were times when I thought, “Wait, we’re leaving already? I want to stay here a little longer…” but it was a great day packed into about 9 hours.

I definitely want to ask for help again!

自分でコースを決めるのが苦手なので、こちらでお願いすることにしました。

時間通りに、スムーズに活動でき、「行き先はここかな？」等という不安なく、安心して楽しむことができました。

西表島のバスの運転手さん、最高でした。由布島のランチ、美味しかったです。竹富島では、バス観光&水牛を選択しました。え？もう出発？もう少しここにいたいな…という時もありましたが、約9時間の中に、ぎゅぎゅっと詰まった良い１日でした。

是非またお願いしたいと思います！

The tour was very convenient for us to take since they offer pickup and drop services from well known hotels. If you do not have your own rental car and only have about a day or two to explore the city, I would say this tour is your best bet. There are other operators that pick you up from the airport, but if you are living up north in one of the secluded beach resorts then this option works very well since you don't have to go back and forth into the city.

The guide spoke Japanese but also had English translation. We could not follow the translation much but the views make up for it all.

Time wise, we found 150 minutes good enough for Churaumi Aquarium but I would have liked to stay at the Kouri beach for a little longer. Then again it is a personal choice since I am a fan of white sand beaches. Other than the Charaumi Aquarium, I felt it was more about going from point A to B to C rather than savouring A, B and C. Having said that, this tour did introduce me to some of the amazing places in Okinawa. I spent half of next day at Kouri beach to sink in it's beauty completely.

Although the weather was bad with rain and winds at 10 m/s, the boat ride was smooth and there were no issues. I was able to closely observe the mangroves unique to the Yaeyama Islands from a well-equipped boat designed for rain protection. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, a scene familiar from television, and it was enjoyable as a guest. On Yubu Island, the sight of the largest butterfly in Japan, the Papilio garamas, fluttering around was elegant and beautiful! The mangrove walking path is also well-maintained.

On Taketomi Island, I leisurely enjoyed my time exploring the Okinawan village by water buffalo cart and on foot. I returned to Ishigaki Island at 4:15 PM and took a photo with Yoshitaka Gushiken—what a thrill! The popular tour had a well-organized schedule, which was reassuring. It was unfortunate about the unpredictable weather. Lunch was somewhat disappointing compared to the delicious meal from the previous day. It would have been perfect if there had been more choices.

雨混じりで１０ｍ風速で悪天候であったが、ボートでの移動も揺れ少なく、

天候不順は残念。昼食は前日美味しい食事だったので、やや不満足でした。
もっとチョイスが出来れば満点。

The weather wasn't very good, which was disappointing, but it was an easy tour. I would like to try going in the summer next time. I want to choose a plan with a bit more activities next time.

天気があまり良くなく残念なところもあったが手軽なツアーでした。次回は夏に行ってみたい。次回はもう少しアクティビティーの高いプランを選んでみたい

I thought it would be a tough day since it was a tour of Mishima, but I was able to enjoy it leisurely! Even though it was just one day, it turned out to be a meaningful day with so much to see.

三島巡りだったのでハードだと思いましたがゆったりと満喫できました！一日でありますがこれだけ回れ有意義な日になりました。

The weather was great on the day of the trip, making it a wonderful journey. The shuttle service was shared with other groups, but the staff was efficient, and I had no complaints. The tour started and ended in Ishigaki Island, visiting Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it had a well-organized schedule that allowed us to fully enjoy the islands. If I had gone on my own, I wouldn't have been able to cover so much in one day. I look forward to using Veltra again for my next enjoyable trip.

当日は天気が良く素晴らしい旅になりました。
送迎はほかの団体客と同乗でしたが担当者さんはキビキビしていて別段不満はなかったです。
石垣島発着で西表島、由布島、竹富島を周遊するツアーでしたが、ツアーならではの無駄のないスケジュールで離島を満喫しました。
個人で行ったらこんなに効率的に回れず１日で周るのは無理でした。
また次回もベルトラを利用して楽しい旅をしたいと思います。

Our resort hotel was on the northern side, quite inaccessible and we did not rent a car as well.

This tour enabled us to see (and taste) the best of Okinawa within just a day. As an added bonus, it was a great experience that started and ended punctually. Our guide was great and helped get the tour bus to drop us right at our hotel.

Highly recommend this to future participants!

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour around Mishima. I was picked up from the hotel in the morning and finished around 4 PM, after which I was taken back to the hotel. It was a great value tour since you can enjoy a full day. My day in Ishigaki was filled with a sense of fulfillment.

三島めぐりをしっかり楽しめました。朝からホテル迎えで、4時すぎに終了してホテルまで送ってもらいました。１日たっぷり楽しめるのでお得なツアーでした。石垣島の
１日は、充実感でいっぱいです

The weather in November on the Sakishima Islands is just perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. My elderly mother was able to enjoy it without any strain. The water buffalo are very cute and reliable. It was clear that the staff really cares for the water buffalo.

天候に恵まれての11月の先島は暑すぎず寒すぎずとてもいいですね。高齢の母も無理なく楽しめました。水牛　とても可愛くて頼もしいですねスタッフがとても水牛たちを大事にしていることが伺えました。

I enjoyed the tour where we could visit many places in one day. It might be a bit hard for those with small children.

I recommend it for those who want to go to the Churaumi Aquarium but find it difficult to rent a car.

I opted for lunch on the day of the tour, but due to time constraints, we couldn't choose from the menu; we had to eat what was already prepared when we arrived.

1日でたくさんまわれるツアーで楽しめました。小さなお子さん連れには少しハードかもしれません。
クルマを借りるのが難しいけど美ら海水族館に行きたい方にはおすすめです。

当日昼食ありにしましたが、時間の都合上メニューは選べず着いたら既に用意されているものを食べるというスタイルでした。

I was able to visit the desired sightseeing spots, but the time spent at each location felt very short, and there was a lot of time spent walking around, giving the impression of a rushed tour. I was a bit disappointed with the guide's lack of friendliness.

まわりたい観光地はまわれたが、各所の散策時間がとても短く感じ、歩き回る時間も多く、常にばたばたしたツアーだった印象。
ガイドさんの愛想が足りなくて少し残念だった。

I think it's a great deal to be able to stop by various places and spend three hours at Churaumi Aquarium for this price! Since we had three hours, we were able to take our time exploring the aquarium, even with kids. The hotel shuttle was really appreciated for traveling with children. I understand it can't be helped, but I always wonder if there's a way to avoid the 30-minute walk to and from Churaumi. On the way back, we arrived at the hotel earlier than planned, which was a relief.

いろいろなところに立ち寄れて、美ら海も3時間滞在できて、このお値段はお得だと思います！3時間滞在できたので、子連れでしたが、ゆっくり水族館をまわれました。ホテルの送迎でしたので子連れにはほんとありがたかったです。しょうがないとは思いますが、美ら海まで往復30分ほど歩くのはどうにかならないかなーといつも思います。帰りは予定より早くホテルに到着したので助かりました。

The beautiful sea of Taketomi Island was healing just to look at. The water buffalo were cute, and the guidance was great. It was all an incredibly wonderful memory. Thank you very much! I want to participate again!

竹富島の美しい海は見ているだけで癒されました。水牛がかわいかったし案内も良かったです。全てが最高に良い思い出です。ありがとうございました！また参加したいです！

Since I was traveling with my elderly father, I chose this course to minimize physical strain as much as possible.

The bus tour and the water buffalo cart course were both compact and very good.

The staff members' talks were also interesting and enjoyable.

I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

高齢の父親との旅行でしたので、なるべく身体に負担がかからないようにと思い、このコースを選びました。

バス観光も水牛車で巡るコースもコンパクトでとても良かったです。

担当のスタッフの方々のトークも面白くて楽しかったです。

また、機会があったら利用したいと思います。

I disembarked at Ishigaki Island from the cruise ship and switched to this tour by Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism, which was a great decision. It was a full course tour of Taketomi Island with multiple activities, and everything was well coordinated, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any unnecessary waiting time according to the schedule. The counter inside the remote island terminal was also kind and attentive. I want to enjoy this company's tour again next time!

クルーズ船で石垣島に上陸したが、船のエスカッションから石垣島ドリーム観光社のこのツアーに乗り換えたが、大正解だった。アクティヴィティが複数ある竹富島フルコースだったが、各所キチッと連携が取れていてSCHEDULE通り余分な待ち時間も無くツアーを楽しめた。離島ターミナル内のカウンターも親切丁寧です。次回もこの会社のツアーを楽しみたい！

I highly recommend participating in this when you visit Taketomi Island! Riding a water buffalo to tour the streets lined with red-tiled roofs and white sand, typical of Okinawa, is the best experience. The guide had a shamisen and sang for us, which was another great highlight! The tour lasts about 30 minutes, so I think you can spend the remaining time exploring the beach or cycling around the island!

竹富島に訪れたら1度は参加オススメします！赤瓦のいえ、白い砂が一面に広がる沖縄らしい街並みを水牛に乗って観光するのは最高です。
ガイドさんが三味線を持っており、歌ってくれました。それも加えてよかったポイントですね！
30分ほどでツアーは終わるので、余った時間は、砂浜や自転車で島観光してもいいと思います！

Kouri Island is beautiful. There were a few waves, but I enjoyed exploring the Churaumi Aquarium until just before closing time. It was great. At Manza Beach, it usually seems to be crowded, but it was surprisingly less busy this time, so I was able to see it quickly.

古宇利島は、キレイ　少し波はあったけど　美ら海水館は、時間ギリギリまで、開園の中を見ました、良かったです。万座毛は、いつもは、たくさん人がいるみたいで、珍しく人が少なかったので、早く見れました。　

First, there was a mix-up with the meeting place, and we were made to wait longer than scheduled. I naturally thought we would tour Pineapple Park in the pineapple-shaped car shown in the pictures, but due to congestion, despite arriving earlier than planned, we ended up just walking around, which was disappointing.

We spent three hours at the aquarium, watched the dolphin show, and didn't have time to visit other botanical gardens. We saw whale sharks at the aquarium, and since it was Saturday, the souvenir shop was crowded. The bus stop at the meeting place was quite far, so in the end, we didn't have time to buy anything.

Considering the transportation costs, the admission fee is cheap, so I understand that. However, I wish they had reduced the time for lunch at the facility we stopped at (the small sandwiches were not good) and allowed us to eat our bento on the bus instead, so we could have more time at the aquarium.

まず集合場所の取違いがあり、予定時間より待たされました。
パイナップルパークは当然、看板写真にあるパイナップルの車？で巡ると思っていたら、混雑との事で、予定より早めに着いたにもかかわらず、まさかの歩いて回るだけでガッカリ。
水族園で三時間、イルカショーをみて、他の植物園などまわる時間はなく、水族園でジンベイザメなどをみて、土曜日だったこともあり最後お土産やさんも並んでて、集合場所のバス乗り場まで距離があるため、結局買う時間なかったです。
交通費を思えば入場料付きで安いので仕方ないとはいえ、途中で寄った施設でのランチ(小さなサンドイッチ不味いです)の時間を削って、バス内でお弁当を食べるなどにして、水族園の時間を増やしてほしいと思いました。

The place where I had lunch was old, and it had a souvenir shop attached to the cafeteria, but there was a hall with a lot of butterflies, which was uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend that place. Everything else was good. It was easy to travel by bus, I could enjoy the scenery, and the prices were reasonable.

お昼を食べた場所は古く、食堂にお土産屋さんがついてる所だったのですが、そこに蝶がたくさんいる館があったのですが、気持ち悪かったです。あそこはないな～×。そこ以外は良かったです。バスで楽だし、景色も見られるし、値段もお手頃でした。

I booked a round-trip ticket plus a water buffalo cart plan. It's more economical than purchasing them separately! After riding the water buffalo cart, there was free time, and the return time was just right.

往復乗車券＋水牛車のプランを申し込みました。別々に購入するよりお得です！
水牛車に乗った後は自由時間があり、帰りの時間もちょうど良かったです。

We participated as a family of four (two adults, a 3-year-old, and an 8-month-old). Due to weather conditions, we changed our schedule to one day earlier at the last minute, but they handled everything, including transportation to the hotel, very well.

It was our first time exploring the remote islands, and we truly enjoyed the mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, and the sightseeing spots on Taketomi Island while cycling.

Our 3-year-old especially loved the water buffalo on Yubu Island, enjoying the experience of holding the reins, feeding them, and touching them (for a fee of 500 yen). Additionally, even though it was a full day plan starting early in the morning, our 8-month-old managed just fine.

If given the opportunity, I would love to use this service with my family again.

家族4人（夫婦＋3歳＋0歳8ヶ月）で参加しました。
天候の関係で直前に1日前倒しの日程に変更してもらいましたが、ホテルまでの送迎も含めてしっかりと対応をいただきました。

はじめての離島巡りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛、竹富島のレンタサイクルでの観光スポット巡りなど本当に楽しめました。

特に3歳の子供は由布島での水牛が気に入ったらしく、水牛の手綱を引いたり、餌をあげたり、タッチをしたりするふれあい体験が楽しかったそうです。（有料500円）
また、朝早くからの1日がかりのプランでしたが、0歳8ヶ月の子供も問題なく乗り切れました
♩

機会があればまた家族で利用したいと思います。

I couldn't relax because of the heavy rain... The café I wanted to visit was also closed... I was really down about this. I want to try again on a sunny day. I did manage to find some star sand, though.

大雨でゆっくりできず、、、。
行きたかったカフェも定休日、、、。
流石にこれは落ち込みました。
またリベンジで晴天の日に行きたいです。
星の砂は発見できました。

You can fully enjoy the scenery of Taketomi. On the day we visited, fortunately, the weather was too good. It was really hot. We were grateful for the bus tour. However, there were also many people using rental bicycles. I felt it was too hot to manage that. Riding the water buffalo cart was a great experience. The young man's singing and guidance were also good.

竹富の風景を満喫できます。私達が行った日は、おかげ様で、良すぎる天気。だから、暑くて暑くて。バスでめぐっていただき、助かりました。でもレンタサイクルの方もたくさんいらっしゃいましたΣ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ私は、無理だと感じるほどの暑さ。水牛車に乗ったのも、良い経験
。お兄さんの歌、ガイドも良かったです
