All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I was glad to hear the guide's fun stories and information about Okinawa! It was great to learn about things that I might have missed just by researching on my own!

ガイドさんの楽しいお話や沖縄についての話が聞けて良かったです！
調べるだけでは見逃してしまうところも知れて良かったです！

I signed up for a round-trip ferry and water buffalo cart tour. It's overwhelmingly more economical than purchasing separately. The water buffalo tour was well-guided, and above all, it was a special experience to leisurely explore the streets of Taketomi Island while enjoying the scenery from the cart. Be sure to sit at the front of the water buffalo cart! If you sit at the back, the buffalo will be far away, and it will be hard to hear the explanations.

フェリー往復と水牛車観光のツアーに申し込みました。
別々に購入するよりも圧倒的にお得です。
水牛観光はガイドさんの説明も上手で、なによりも竹富島の街並みを眺めながら水牛車でゆっくりと観光できるのは特別な時間でした。
水牛車には必ず前方に乗ってください！後方だと水牛が遠く、説明も聞きづらいです。

The super strong water buffalo can pull a cart with about 20 people. This time, I got to ride on a water buffalo named A-pa-kun! Its body was large and impressive, but it had big, round eyes and was very calm and adorable. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also wonderful. Additionally, the explanation about Taketomi Island was very informative! The townscape had a distinct Okinawan charm, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time. I definitely want to participate again!

20人前後の人が乗った車を引くことができる超力もちの水牛さん。今回はアーパーくんという水牛の車に乗せてもらいました!体は大きくて迫力があるけれど、目がクリクリで大人しくてとても可愛かったです(^^)ガイドさんの三線の弾き語りも素晴らしかったです。また、竹富島についての説明もとても勉強になりました！
街並みも沖縄らしさがあり、のんびりとした時間が過ごせました。
ぜひまた参加したいと思います!!

Overall, it was an enjoyable trip. We had chance to see many nice places. The scenery was very nice at the place we had lunch.
The pineapple garden was really nice but we could have spent more time there. 40 minutes was not enough to explore the garden and do shopping. Unfortunately, we had to wait for a family for 25 minutes even though it stated that people who didn't arrive on time needed to go to the next destination by themselves.
Aquarium was good as well.

- In addition to the Churaumi Aquarium, we visited four other locations, and since all participants happened to be Japanese, we were able to stick to the schedule and had plenty of time at each place.
- Our veteran bus guide sang beautiful island songs using a shamisen and Okinawan castanets in the quiet bus.
- Last time, I also used a rental car and visited similar places, but this time I didn't have to worry about finding parking, and we were able to enjoy all five locations with a good time allocation and at a relaxed pace.

・美ら海水族館のほか4箇所に寄ったが、偶々参加者全員日本人だった為、集合が時間厳守で其々の場所で余裕があった。
・ベテランバスガイドさんが静かな車内で、三味線や沖縄のカスタネットを使い綺麗な声で島人の唄などを唄ってくれた。
・前回もレンタカーを使い、同じような処を観光したが駐車場を探したりせずに済み、全5箇所の時間配分良くゆったりと堪能出来た。

Cape Hedo and the Great Stone Forest are far from Naha and difficult to visit individually, so I was very satisfied with the tour bus that took us around. Since the tour is mainly free time, there's absolutely no problem participating alone!

辺戸岬や大石林山は那覇からは遠く個人では行きにくい場所なのでツアーバスで巡れてとても満足です。自由行動が基本なので１人参加でも全く問題無し！

The glass boat was new and looked beautiful, and the water buffalo were very cute; I felt relaxed while listening to their songs. I had a lot of fun for this price. The transition from the glass boat to the water buffalo cart was very smooth. Thank you very much!

グラスボートも、最新で綺麗に見え、水牛はとってもかわいく歌を聞きながら癒されました。
このお値段でたっぷり楽しめました。
グラスボートから水牛車までもとってもスムーズに案内していただきました。ありがとうございました❗❗

The guide was thorough and provided a great service, showcasing Okinawan songs and dances. The course was well-organized, highlighting the key attractions and was definitely worth it.

ガイドも手抜きなく又、沖縄の唄や踊りを披露してくれサービス満点でした。
コースも見どころを上手くまとめていて値打ちあり。

I was able to efficiently visit the attractions of the islands. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, but water flowed into the seats, so I recommend participating with shoes that can get wet. The water buffalo was very cute (*^^*). On Taketomi Island, I chose the cycling plan. I went to look for star sand, but it seemed like many had already been collected, so I couldn't find as much as I expected (^^; Also, I got lost on the way back to the bicycle rental shop and was worried about making it back in time for the meeting, so I think those who are not confident in their sense of direction should allow extra time on the way back. It was a very enjoyable tour!

効率よく、島々の見所を観光できました。由布島まで水牛に乗って渡るのですが、水が座席にまで流れ込んできますので濡れてもいい靴での参加をオススメします。水牛がとっても可愛かったです(*^^*)竹富島ではサイクリングプランを選択しました。星の砂を探しに行ったのですが、もうたくさん拾われてしまったのか、思ったよりも見つかりませんでした(^^;また、自転車レンタル店舗へ戻るまでの道に迷い、集合に間に合うか焦ってしまったので、方向感覚に自信の無い肩は帰り道は時間に余裕を持って行動した方がいいと思います。とても楽しいツアーでした！

Since we didn't have much time, we chose a relatively quick tour. On the glass boat, we listened to explanations about the fish and coral while enjoying the view. We rode a water buffalo and explored the main street of Taketomi Island, and finally spent a little time at the beach. If we had arranged everything individually, it would have taken much longer, but since it was all set up, the transitions from the water buffalo to the bus were smooth. It was just as I expected, and it met my goals, so I'm satisfied. If you want to fully enjoy it, I think it's better to take your time and go at your own pace.

時間もなかったので、わりとさっと回れるツアーを選びました。ｸﾞﾗｽﾎﾞｰﾄでは魚やさんごの説明ききつつ、見て、水牛にのり竹富島の中心街をめぐり、最後にビーチでちょっと時間。個別に手配して回るともっと時間かかったと思いますが、セットになっていたのでベルトコンベアー式に水牛からバスなどスムーズでした。まあ思っていた通りで、目的通りなのでいいです。しっかり満喫したいなら時間をとって自分たちのペースで回ればいいと思います。

The Nakama River Mangrove Cruise features an open sightseeing boat, and the tropical river and sea breezes felt wonderful. The water buffalo cart on Yufu Island brought smiles and happiness to the faces of the guests. The water buffalo worked hard to cross the sea. Renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island was hot, but I was able to directly feel the atmosphere of the village. However, be cautious of traffic accidents, as light vehicles can come out of intersections quite suddenly.

仲間川マングローブクルーズは、オープンの観光船で、熱帯の川風、海風が気持ちがよかった。
由布島の水牛車は、お客さんの顔はハッピーという笑顔があふれてました。
水牛が頑張って海を渡ってゆきました。
竹富島のレンタサイクル。暑かったが、村の雰囲気を肌に直に感じることができました。ただし、交通事故要注意。交差点から軽四が勢いよく出てきたりする・・

I wanted to visit Daishi Forest Mountain, but since I'm not good at driving, I chose this tour. I was very satisfied with the result.

大石林山に行ってみたく、しかし運転が苦手だったためこのツアーを選択しました。
結果とても満足できました。

After arriving at Taketomi Island, we first took a bus for a tour around the island. After visiting two beaches, we arrived at the Taketomi Tourist Center. We took a ride on a water buffalo, but it seemed to have a mind of its own, which took quite a bit of time (laughs). The weather wasn't great, but we still had a decent time.

竹富島についた後、まずはバスで島内観光
ビーチを２か所回った後、竹富観光センターに到着
水牛で一回りしましたが、乗った水牛が気分屋らしくかなり時間がかかりました（笑）
天気はあまりよくなかったですが、まあまあ楽しめました。

I think it was great to do sightseeing by bus from the resort in one day. However, there wasn't enough time at Pineapple Park. The bus driver was also very nice. Last time, on another tour, the guide shared various interesting tidbits, but this time the guide felt like they were just reading from a script, which was disappointing.

１日でリゾート地からバスでの観光で良かったと思います。パイナップルパークの時間が足りませんでしたが。バスの運転手さんも感じが良かったです。
前回他のツアーでガイドさんがいろいろなマメ情報も教えてもらえたのですが、今回は原稿そのままの棒読みの感じのガイドさんで、それだけが残念でした。

It was my first time on Ishigaki Island.
I was able to spend a satisfying day.
If the weather had been good, I would have been very satisfied (laughs).
Even participating alone, I could stroll around without any stress.

初石垣島でした。
満足できる１日を過ごせられました。
天気が良ければ大満足でしたが(笑)
１人参加でも全然気楽に散策できます。

The mangrove cruise was enjoyable despite a little rain, as I was able to see various plants. I toured Taketomi Island on a water buffalo cart. I had a great time while listening to Okinawan songs!

マングローブクルーズ少し雨が降っていましたが、色々な植物が見れて楽しかったです。
水牛車で竹富島観光をしました。
沖縄の唄を聞きながら満喫できました♪

It was a very satisfying tour. The bus arrived on time, and the driver drove safely. The female tour guide—I'm sorry, I forgot her name—was very kind and attentive. I appreciate it.

As for the weather, there was rain and wind during the tour, but by the time we arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium, it had cleared up beautifully.

During the trekking at Daisekirinzan, I was able to walk without getting too tired. At Cape Hedo, I was moved by the wonderful view, so much so that I didn't mind the rain and wind. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful experience.

大変満足のいったツアーでした。
バスも時間通りにお迎えに来ていただき、運転手の方も安全運転でまた添乗員の女性の方：お名前を忘れてしまいました。ごめんなさい。
とても親切丁寧は対応でした。感謝です。
お天気の方は　ツアー途中　雨、風ではありましたが美ら海水族館に到着したころは　素晴らしく晴れ上がってました。
大石林山トレッキングでは　それほど疲れない程度で歩けました。
辺戸岬では雨風も気にすることの無いほどの　素晴らしい眺めに感動しました。素晴らしい体験をさせて頂き本当にありがとうございました。

I enjoyed the island hopping, but I felt there was a bit too much traveling. However, I was satisfied with taking photos with the water buffalo and experiencing the islands!

島巡りは楽しめましたが、少し移動が多かったかなぁという感じもありました。でも、水牛と写真を撮ったり、島を感じれたり、満足でした♪

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and since I was traveling with my 85-year-old mother, I chose this tour because it was not too strenuous and allowed us to visit various places.

Even though it was a tour, I appreciated that the transportation was well arranged at key points, giving it a feel of personal exploration. I think it would be impossible to travel this efficiently on our own.

During the mangrove cruising, I felt like I was traveling through a jungle river in another country. On the water buffalo cart, I was lucky enough to sit at the very front both going and returning, so I could enjoy the scenery of the island straight ahead as the water buffalo's rear, shoulders, and horns swayed gently.

On Taketomi Island, we went cycling. It was challenging for my mother, but we took it slow, sometimes getting off to push the bike, and enjoyed the charming houses, the lush large trees of the south, and the unique shisa statues. At Kaiji Beach, we were also able to look for star sand. It was great that we could choose a return boat that was an hour later.

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

はじめての石垣島に加えて、85才の母との旅行でしたので、あまりきつくなくて、かつ色々な場所を訪れることのできるこのツアーを選びました、

ツアーとはいえ、要所要所要所で移動手段がきちんと手配してある個人行動という感じが良かったです。
個人でこれだけ効率よく巡ることは無理だと思います。

マングローブクルージングでは
何だかどこか別の国のジャングルの川を旅している気分。
水牛車では行きも帰りも運良く1番前に座れましたので、のんびり進んでいく水牛のお尻や肩や角が揺れるたびに近づいていく島の景色を、真っ直ぐ前から楽しめました。
竹富島ではサイクリング。
母には大変でしたが
ゆっくり、時々降りて押したりしながら
風情ある家並み、生い茂る南の大きな木々、個性的なシーサーを楽しめました。
カイジ浜では星砂もさがせました。
サイクリングは、帰る船を1時間遅く選択出来るのも良かったです。

最高の思い出をありがとうございました！

I participated in a water buffalo cart course on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo, Ryu-kun, was cool, smart, and guided us very well. Taketomi Island is relaxing, with many nostalgic Okinawan landscapes in the houses and gardens, which was very soothing.

The water buffalo cart ride lasted about 30 minutes, so I rented a bicycle for the remaining time. The rental bicycle costs around 1,000 yen, and it's a great way to explore the island, so I highly recommend it. There are many places on the island where you’ll want to take photos. I had so much fun that I didn't have enough time!

竹富島で水牛車コースに参加しました
水牛の琉くんが格好よくて賢くて上手に案内してくれました
竹富島はのんびりしていて、家や庭に沖縄の懐かしい風景がたくさんあって、すごく癒されました

水牛車が30分くらいなので、残りの時間は現地でレンタサイクルを借りました
レンタサイクルは1,000円くらいで借りられて、島内を探検できるのでレンタサイクルもオススメです
島内は写真撮りたい場所がたくさんあります
時間が足りないくらい楽しかったです

I thought the tour that visits three islands in one day was very efficient. During the mangrove cruise, the guide provided explanations, allowing us to learn a lot, and we were able to reach a rare tree (I forgot the name...) that we couldn't access during low tide, which was great.

When crossing to Yubu Island, we rode a water buffalo cart and enjoyed a leisurely time while listening to Okinawan folk songs. I noticed that there was a family tree for the water buffaloes, and each one had a proper name, which made me realize how well they are cared for.

On Taketomi Island, I chose the glass-bottom boat and bus tour. The glass-bottom boat swayed a bit. I was expecting to see beautiful coral reefs, but I learned that the corals have died off and are currently slowly regenerating. While I was able to see sea anemones, clownfish, and colorful fish, it felt a bit lacking.

The microbus tour taught us about the lives of the people on Taketomi Island and allowed us to find star sand, making for an efficient and easy sightseeing experience.

Although it was a brief visit to the three islands, I recommend this tour as it guides you through the highlights of each.

一日で3つの島を廻ってくるツアーで効率が良いと思いました。
マングローブクルーズではガイドの説明が有るためよく知ることが出来、引き潮ではたどり着けない珍しい木（名前忘れました・・）のところまで行くこともできとても良かったです。

由布島へ渡る時には水牛車に乗り沖縄民謡を聞きながらゆったりとした時間を楽しみました。水牛の家系図が有り一頭ずつきちんと名前が付けられ、とても大切にされているのだなと思いました。

竹富島ではグラスボートとバス観光を選びました。
グラスボートはちょっぴり揺れます。
サンゴ礁の美しい海を期待していたのですが、サンゴが死滅し現在は少しづつ再生してきているとのことでした。イソギンチャクとクマノミや色鮮やかな魚は見ることが出来ましたがちょっと物足りないかも。

マイクロバスで竹富島の人々の生活を教えてくれたり星の砂を見つけたりとこれもまた効率よく楽に観光出来ました。

３島をさらっとではありましたがそれぞれの見どころを案内してくれるこのツアーをお勧めします。

On Iriomote Island, the guide provided detailed explanations about the mangroves and the flora and fauna while we enjoyed the boat tour, so it was engaging and fun! My stay on Yubu Island was also very relaxing with the water buffalo, and I had a great time. However, among the elderly men guiding the water buffalo, there was one 88-year-old man who was hitting the buffalo with a stick while leading them, and it was really sad to watch because the buffalo looked so pitiful. The buffalo he was hitting was also an elderly 17-year-old, working hard to carry heavy people, and it was truly heartbreaking. The other men were treating the buffalo very kindly, so that one man stood out as unusual. According to the elderly man who was with my water buffalo cart, that old man doesn't change no matter how much he is warned. It's hopeless. Is there anything that can be done about it? It was such a wonderful experience overall, but that part really hurt my heart. The experience on Taketomi Island afterward also became a lifelong memory. Overall, it was a very good activity, but it's really unfortunate about the water buffalo situation.

西表島ではガイドの方が詳しくマングローブについてや動植物について説明してくれながらでの遊覧船でしたので飽きずに楽しめました!!次の由布島での滞在も水牛にとっても癒されましたし、すごく楽しかったです。ただ、水牛を誘導するおじいさん達の中で1人だけ88歳の一番年配の方が、棒で水牛を叩きながら先導していて、水牛がとても可愛そうで見ていられませんでした。そのおじいさんに叩かれている水牛もたしか17歳のお年寄りで一生懸命重い人間達を運んでいるのに本当に可愛そうでした。。他の人達は水牛にとても優しく接していたのでそのおじいさんだけ異様でした。私の乗った水牛車のおじいさんいわく、あのおじいはいくら注意されても変わらない。だめだ。との事でした。なんとかならないでしょうか？最高な体験だっただけにそこだけが胸が痛かったです。そのあとの竹富島での体験も一生の思い出になりました。総合的にとてもいいアクティビティですが、ほんと、牛車の件だけ残念です。

I considered sightseeing with a rental car, but I wasn't very confident about driving in an unfamiliar area, so I signed up for this tour. It was a tour that efficiently covered the highlights of Okinawa. The guide and the driver were both pleasant, and I was able to have a great time. Thank you very much!

レンタカーでの観光も考えたのですが、知らない土地での運転にあまり自信がないので、このツアーを申し込みました。
沖縄の見どころを効率よく観光できるツアーでした。
ガイドさん、運転手さんも感じが良く、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました

I participated in the 2:30 PM boat. It was cheaper than arranging it individually, so it was a good deal. After seeing the water buffalo, I rented a bicycle for an hour. Since I had to catch the return boat by 5 PM, it felt rushed. The second floor of the boat is hot like a sauna, so I recommend sitting downstairs in the summer. I'm glad I could leave my luggage.

14時30分の船で参加しました。個人で手配するより安く行けてお得です。水牛の後、自転車を1時間借りました。帰りの船が17時までに乗らないといけないので、時間が短くてバタバタでした。
船の2階はサウナのように暑いので、夏は下に乗るのがオススメ。
荷物を預けられて良かったです

This was my third time in Okinawa, but I had never seen the beautiful ocean there, so I decided to join. Since I usually don't drive and wanted to enjoy some beer during lunch, I opted for a bus tour. There were few participants due to the season, and more than half were from overseas. The Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island were truly beautiful, and I'm glad I participated. I also thought the price was reasonable.

沖縄は3回目でしたが、沖縄の美しい海を見たことが無かったので参加しました。普段は自動車の運転をしていなしのと、ランチでビールを楽しみたかったこともあり、バスツアーにしました。時期的に参加人数は少なく、また半数以上は海外の方でした。美ら海水族館も古宇利島も本当に美しくて参加して良かったと思います。料金もリーズナブルだと思いました。

I booked this tour because of the promised visit to the butterfly farm and Churaumi aquarium. But on the tour I’ve realized that it doesn’t include butterfly farm since April 2019 even though it is still in the program.. We stopped in a few shops for tourists (including pineapple farm that suits kids) till we got to the aquarium after 4.5 hours on the road (direct driving on highway from Naha takes about an hour to there). In aquarium we were given 3 hours but I needed 4-5 hours to see other facilities as well. The place is huge and 3 hours would be enough only to see the aquarium.
On the way back we stopped again in the place selling local sweets for tourists, when most of these sweets can be found at the airport so it was waste of time again.. we were only 6 people on a cloudy day of the rainy season so I returned to Naha at 6 p.m (last drop off) but I can imagine that the way back can take 2 hours more just for dropping off every participant in different locations..

It was a tour with many foreign tourists participating. There were few Japanese people, so I was a bit worried at first, but they kept to the schedule and weren't overly loud, which made it refreshing and enjoyable. The Churaumi Aquarium had a comfortable stay of three hours, allowing us to enjoy the whale shark and dolphin shows. It was a good tour that efficiently covered various places.

外国人観光客が多く参加していたツアーでした。
日本人が少ないので最初ちょっと心配でしたが時間も守りますし、大騒ぎするわけでもなかったので、逆に新鮮で楽しめました。
美ら海水族館は滞在時間3時間で余裕があり、ジンベイザメやイルカのショーを楽しめました。
色んな所を効率よく周れて良いツアーでした。

I was able to efficiently visit three islands and had a wonderful time. The water buffalo cart was very cute and impressive, and the sea viewed from the glass-bottom boat was beautiful.

効率よく3島めぐりができ、楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
水牛車がとても可愛くて印象的で、グラスボートから覗く海は綺麗でした。

I participated with a friend. We chose to bike around Taketomi Island! We were able to explore very efficiently from morning until evening! If you're wondering which island tour to join from Ishigaki, I definitely recommend this tour!

Biking on Taketomi Island might be tough during the humid rainy season, haha. A bus might be better. The roads on Taketomi Island have a lot of sand, making it difficult to pedal and quite challenging.

私は、友達と2人で参加しました。竹富島は自転車を選択しました！！
朝から夕方まですごく効率よく、回れました！石垣でどこの離島ツアーに参加しようか迷ってる人はぜひこのツアーを！おすすめです！！

竹富島の自転車は、梅雨の蒸し暑い時期にはキツイかも？笑バスのほうがいいかもです
自転車も竹富島の道は砂が多く漕ぎづらく大変でした

I think this price is cheap for a round trip ferry from Ishigaki Port to Taketomi Island and a water buffalo cart ride! I was able to fully enjoy Taketomi Island by riding the water buffalo and renting a bicycle! The water buffalo was so cute!

水牛車と、石垣港から竹富島までの往復フェリーでこの価格は安いと思います！
水牛車に乗ったり、レンタサイクルをしたり、竹富島を満喫できました！
水牛が可愛いかったです！
