All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

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！

My husband, our two children, and I participated in a tour. Our main goal was to visit the aquarium, so we looked for a tour that would allow us to leave late and return early.

The aquarium was larger than I expected, and I wanted to see other facilities as well, but it felt like there wasn't enough time. However, for me, who was focused on seeing the whale sharks, it was great to be able to watch them at a leisurely pace. At Kouri Island, I recommend bringing a change of clothes. My kids, one in elementary school and the other in preschool, ran straight into the beautiful sea and ended up soaking their pants (laughs).

Also, the guide introduced us to various Okinawan songs and dialects, which was fun. Although it wasn't us, I appreciated how the guide quickly made phone calls and changes for those who were stuck in traffic on the way back and were worried about missing their dinner reservations.

Next time, I definitely want to join a different tour! ♪

主人と私、子ども二人で参加。水族館に行くのが目的で、遅く出発して早めに帰ってこれるツアーをさがして申込ました。
水族館は、思ったよりも広く水族館の他の施設も見たかったけど、時間がたりない感じでした。でも、ジンベイザメを目的にしていた私にとっては、ゆっくりジンベイザメを見れてよかったです。古宇利では、着替えをもっていくことをお勧めします。うちの子は小学生と年中ですが、きれいな海に一目散に走っていってパンツまで濡れてしまいました(笑)
あと、ガイドさんが沖縄の唄や方言をいろいろ紹介してくれて楽しかったです。
私たちではなかったですが、帰りが事故渋滞で夕食の予約に間に合わない人の為に、すばやく電話や変更などをしていた姿がよかったです。
次回は、また違うツアーに是非参加したいです♪

It was nice to hear the sanshin. The bus from Taketomi Island to the base took a while to depart, and it seemed we were waiting for another boat 15 minutes later, so it was a bit cramped.

三線も聞けてよかった。
竹富島からベースへ行くバスがなかなか出発せず、１５分後の別の船を待っての出発らしく、詰め込み感は否めないが。

The weather had been bad the day before, and I was worried whether the tour would take place, but it went ahead without any issues, and I was able to experience a wonderful day filled with mangroves, a water buffalo cart ride, and cycling.

I thought the tour might be hectic due to the relatively packed schedule, but it was quite the opposite. During the water buffalo cart ride and cycling, I was able to enjoy the slow pace of the island, which made for a happy time.

Also, thank you for accommodating the sudden addition of participants on the day. I really appreciated it.

前日から天気も悪く、当日もツアーが開催されるのか不安でしたが、無事開催されて、マングローブ・水牛車・サイクリングと充実した素晴らしい１日が体験できました。

ツアーの内容が比較的多く、せわしない１日なのかなと思ったのですが特にそんなことはなく、その思いとは反対に水牛車とサイクリングでは、島のゆっくりした時間を過ごすことができて、幸せな時間でした。

また、当日の急な参加者追加にも快く対応頂きありがとうございました。とてもありがたかったです。

This was my second time on the three-island tour. Since my companion was a first-timer, we signed up during the rainy season, but the weather was nice, and we had a great experience.

However, I have one regret.

I wish I had checked the tide schedule before booking the tour... I wanted to see the Sakishima Suo no Ki again.

２度目の３島巡りでした。同行者が初めてだったので申し込み梅雨の時期でしたがお天気も良く楽しく体験できました。

ただひとつ後悔

行く前に潮の満ち引きを調べてツアーを申し込めばよかった‥
最後のサキシマスオウノキをまた見たかったです。

We didn't even stop at Ryugujo, the butterfly paradise. We had an hour lunch break near a hotel with shops/food court and I was expecting Okinawa soba as stated in the itinerary but we got a "hot sandwich" which ended up being a tiny triangle of basically taco salad sandwich. Had to go buy a bowl of Okinawa Soba to have enough to eat. We spent 40 minutes at the pineapple park. We definitely didn't need a whole hour for lunch as tiny as it was. It simply forces you to buy more food at the food court. Not going to see the butterflies at all was a huge disappointment. No explanation given as to why we didn't even go.
We had 3 hours at the aquarium which was great. Wish we had more time there.

I participated with my parents in their 60s. Since all three of us are inexperienced drivers, it's great that we could visit northern tourist spots on a bus tour. The travel was comfortable in the cool interior of the bus. I think the price, which includes tickets to the aquarium and lunch, is a fantastic deal. My parents seemed to enjoy visiting various tourist attractions. I believe this is a tour I can recommend to everyone!

６０代の両親と参加しました。
３人ともペーパードライバーなので、バスツアーで北部の観光地に行けるのはありがたいです。
移動も涼しい車内で過ごせて快適でした。
水族館のチケット、お昼御飯がついてこの値段は破格だと思います。
両親もいろいろな観光地を回れて楽しそうにしていました。
みんなにおすすめできるツアーだと思います！

I was glad that I could efficiently tour the islands during my short trip. I had time to leisurely walk around Yufu Island, and the bento was unique and delicious. I debated whether to rent a bicycle to explore Taketomi Island at a slower pace, but I think the bus tour was also good because I could listen to the guide's explanations.

短期の旅行だったため効率よく離島をまわることができて良かったです。
由布島ではぶらりと一周歩く時間もありましたし、お弁当も珍しくておいしかったです。竹富島ではゆっくりまわれるレンタサイクルにしようか悩みましたが、ガイドさんの説明を聞ける点でバス観光も良かったと思います。

This was my travel companion's first visit to Okinawa, and it was a valuable tour that takes you to the must-see Churaumi Aquarium from Chatan. Over about half a day from morning to evening, we visited several highlights in central to northern Okinawa, but since there were many places to stop, the time spent at each location was a bit short. Especially on Kouri Island, if you stop to use the restroom or eat ice cream, you completely run out of time to enjoy the sea, and the scenic drive over the Warumi Bridge felt like it was over in an instant.

However, at Churaumi Aquarium and Busena, you can relax while enjoying the beautiful beaches around, and even though the tour explanations are provided through automatic audio in your earphones, they efficiently use the travel time to give you information, making it a great value for the cost.

The final stop is American Village, where those coming from Naha can take their time shopping, but for those departing from Chatan, you can get off here and then freely choose to return to your hotel or go out for a meal or shopping, which is very convenient.

With the changing times, there are more foreign participants from Asian countries, but I felt a bit sad that the guide first explains in English and then in Japanese. Recently, when Japanese people visit tourist attractions overseas, the Japanese explanations tend to come last, so it seems that Japanese people are often put on the back burner both at home and abroad. I recognize that Japanese people are a modest and patient nation, so they tend to be pushed to the back in any country (laughs).

同行者が初の沖縄訪問でしたが、初めての沖縄旅では絶対外せない美ら海水族館に北谷からも行ける貴重なツアーです。朝から夕方までの約半日で沖縄中部～北部の見どころスポットを複数訪れますが、回る場所が多いので一か所あたりの滞在時間が短いのが少し惜しいです。とくに古宇利島はトイレに立ち寄ってアイスを食べたりしているとまったく海を観て楽しむ時間は無くなってしまいますし、車窓観光のワルミ大橋も「え！？今通っちゃったの！？」という感じであっという間でした。

でも美ら海水族館やブセナでは周りの美しいビーチを観てリラックスできますし、観光についてもイヤホン自動音声ながら移動中の時間を使って効率的に説明してくれるのでコストパフォーマンスは高いです。

最終立ち寄り地はアメリカンヴィレッジで、那覇発の方々はこちらでしばしのショッピングタイムをゆっくり取ることができますが、北谷発ですとこちらで降りて後はホテルに帰るなり食事やショッピングに行くなり、自由に過ごすことができるので助かります。

時代の流れでアジア諸国からの外国人の参加が多くなりましたが、引率のガイドさんがまず英語で案内し、その次に日本語になるのは少し寂しく思いました。昨今、日本人が海外の観光名所を訪れると日本語の説明は最後のほうなので、日本でも海外でも日本人は後回しなんだな～と・・・。日本人は奥ゆかしく我慢強い民族だという認識なので、どこの国でも後ろに追いやられてしまいますね（苦笑）

The powerful experience of the whale shark at the aquarium was impressive. The guide was also a very pleasant person. I had a fun day. I would like to go on another tour with that guide. Thank you very much.

ジンベイ鮫の迫力ある水族館感動でした。
ガイドさんもとても感じの良い人。
楽しい一日を過ごせました。またあのガイドさんなら別のツアーも行きたいですね。ありがとうございました

I was a bit anxious about making my first online reservation, but receiving a confirmation call the day before the tour made me feel very reassured. During the tour, even as someone who was inexperienced, the easy-to-understand guidance allowed me to enjoy the tour without getting lost.

初めてのネット予約で少し不安でしたが、ツアー前日に確認の電話を頂いた事で、とても安心出来ました。ツアー中も不慣れな私でも判りやすい案内で、迷う事無くツアーを楽しめました。

The leisurely experience of the water buffalo cart was a wonderful time where time flowed slowly. If the weather had been better, I would have wanted to stay longer to feel more of the island's atmosphere.

マイペースな水牛車の体験はのんびり時間が流れていくいい時間でした。お天気が良ければもっともっと島の雰囲気を感じるため長い滞在をしたかったです。

I participated with my 3-year-old child. We rode a boat, saw mangrove forests, crossed the sea on a water buffalo, enjoyed delicious meals, and took a bus. On Taketomi Island, we toured the island on a water buffalo, and my child was able to enjoy it without getting bored, which was really great.

Before going, I was worried that the schedule might be too hectic for my child, but the timing was just right and there were no issues. Thank you for the enjoyable tour.

3歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
船に乗ったりマングローブ林を見たり水牛で海を渡ったり美味しいご飯を食べたりバスにも乗って、竹富島では島内を水牛に乗って観光したり、子供も飽きずに楽しめて本当に良かったです。

行く前は、子供にはハードスケジュールすぎるかとも悩みましたが程よいタイムスケジュールで問題ありませんでした。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island offered scenery that felt like it was not in Japan. Additionally, the bus driver on the way to Yubu Island was so entertaining that he could be mistaken for a Yoshimoto comedian, keeping the passengers engaged throughout the ride. The water buffalo also worked hard pulling the cart, making the island crossing feel quick. On Taketomi Island, the sightseeing with the glass-bottom boat and water buffalo cart also ended in no time. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

西表島でのマングローブクルーズは、此処は日本と思えない景色でした。

I participated with my small child. The bus guide was very pleasant, and her voice was easy to understand. I boarded in Naha City, but the bus picks up at various hotels, which will be helpful for my next trip to Okinawa when choosing a hotel. We visited the aquarium and played with my child at Emerald Beach near the aquarium. With a full three hours, there are various ways to enjoy the experience depending on the person.

小さい子供と2人で、参加しました。バスガイドさんが、非常に感じ良く、声も聞き取りやすかったです。私は、那覇市内から乗車しましたが、色々なホテルにバスがお迎えに行くので、次に沖縄旅行に来る時のホテルの参考にもなりました。水族館を見学して、水族館近くのエメラルドビーチで、子供と遊びました。3時間たっぷりあるので、人によって、楽しみ方が色々出来ます。

The hotel shuttle service was very convenient. I had a lot of fun throughout the day ( ᵔᵒᵔ )♡ I wished I had a bit more time at Pineapple Park. The next Hanasaki Marche had a longer stay than Pineapple Park, so it might be good to adjust the time here. I really enjoyed Churaumi. Pineapple sorbet was served in the car, along with a souvenir of one piece of Chinsuko. I highly recommend it.

I chose this bus tour as it allows me to efficiently travel with my elderly mother. The bus also had a singing tour guide, which made our time enjoyable.

高齢の母と効率よく回れるバスツアーとして選びました。バスには歌うバスガイドさんも同行しており、楽しく過ごすことができました。

I participated with my 80-year-old mother.
On Taketomi Island, we chose a bus tour and a water buffalo cart, but my biggest concern was the restroom situation.

Since it was a group tour, I was worried about whether my mother could keep up with everyone, if there would be time for restroom breaks, and if there were restrooms available at various locations.
However, the staff kindly reminded us at key points to use the restroom while we had the chance, which allowed us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind.

As far as I can remember, the restrooms were available at the following locations:
on the boat heading from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island,
at the port of Iriomote Island,
on the boat during the mangrove cruise,
at two locations within the Yubu Island botanical garden,
at the first stop of the Taketomi Island bus tour,
and at the waiting area for the water buffalo cart.

I think it should be manageable for those participating with elderly individuals, as long as restroom breaks are not needed too frequently.

One slight disappointment was the lunch.
It felt very much like a typical group meal.
Other than that, I was satisfied!

80歳の母を連れての参加でした。
竹富島ではバス観光と水牛車をチョイスしましたが、
一番心配だったのがトイレ。

団体のツアーだし、母が皆さんについていけるか、
トイレの時間はあるのか、
そもそもトイレがあちこちにあるのか、
ずっと気になってました。
でも要所要所でトイレに行く方は今のうちに！と、
スタッフの方が声をかけてくださったので、
安心してツアーを回れました。

トイレがあった場所を覚えてる範囲でかくと、
石垣島から西表島へ向かう船の中、
西表島の港、
マングローブクルーズの船の中、
由布島の植物園内に2か所くらい、
竹富島バス観光の最初に立ち寄ったところ、
水牛車の待合場所…、
といったところでしょうか。

もし高齢の方を連れて参加する方でも、
よほどの頻度でない限りは大丈夫だと思います。

ちょっと残念だったのがお昼ごはん。
いかにも団体さんの…、って感じのご飯でした。
後は満足です！
