All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I had to cancel unexpectedly two days prior due to circumstances, but they quickly processed the cancellation. However, when my situation changed again and I inquired the day before if the same course was available, they promptly coordinated with the local office and Veltra, and within just a few minutes, I was able to complete the payment. Thanks to that, I was able to participate as planned and create wonderful memories.

The course content included all the requests from me and my companion, so we were very satisfied. The announcements for those who didn't understand Japanese were well thought out, and no one made a mistake at the meeting point; everyone was punctual, making it a great trip.

Lastly, the guide surprised us with a song, which was very touching and reminiscent of Okinawa. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

事情があって前々日に急遽キャンセルを申し出ましたが、迅速に手続きを進めてくださいました。ところがまた事情がかわり再び同じコースが予約可能か前日に問い合わせしたところ
すぐに現地事務所の方ととveltraさんで連携取ってくださり、ものの数分で決済までしていただけました。お陰様で予定通り参加でき楽しい思い出を作ることができました。
コース内容は自分と連れの要望が全部入っていましたのでとても満足でした。日本語のわからない人たちへのアナウンスも工夫されており、集合場所は誰一人間違わず、また全員時間厳守でとてもいい旅となりました。
最後にガイドさんから歌のプレゼントがありましたが、沖縄らしくてジーンときちゃいました。いい思い出をありがとうございました。

It was a short 30-minute water buffalo cart ride, but it was better than I expected. I think this price, including the boat fare, is quite reasonable.

The water buffalo is cute and smart.

30分と短い水牛車でしたが、思ってたより良かったです。
船代付きでこのお値段はお安いと思います。

水牛は可愛いし、かしこいです。

I was worried that the meeting times would be lax since there were many foreign tourists. However, the guide emphasized punctuality and mentioned that the bus would leave anyone who was late behind (though I doubt they would actually do that), so we departed on time.

Both the guide and the driver were kind, which was great. My child stuck close to the guide while walking to the aquarium (laughs). We had a wonderful time!

外国人の方々が多く、先々の集合時間がダラダラしそうだなぁーと思ってましたが。
ガイドさんが時間厳守と言って、バスは遅れてくる人は置いていくと〔おいてはいかないだろうけど〕
注意してたので時間通りの出発でした

ガイドさんも運転士さんも優しい方でよかったです
うちの子は水族館に歩いて向かう時、ガイドさんにずっとくっついてました（笑）
すごくたのしめました

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island. The weather was cloudy. The bus was scheduled to leave the hotel at 7:25 AM, so it arrived in front of the hotel by 7:20 AM. Unfortunately, other groups arrived around 7:35 AM, causing a delay in our departure.

Once we arrived at the terminal, we divided into groups for explanations. It felt like a small island, Yufu Island, was attached to Iriomote Island. We transferred to a boat immediately after arriving at Iriomote Island for a mangrove cruise, then took a bus to Yufu. Once there, we took a cart ride, followed by lunch (40 minutes) and a short walk (30 minutes). However, during the walk, I found myself rushing back to the meeting point after just going for ice cream!

From Yufu, we took the cart back, then a bus, and immediately transferred to a boat to Taketomi. We only arrived at Iriomote Island by bus.

Upon arriving at Taketomi Island, we quickly went on a glass-bottom boat (30 minutes). Once on land, we took a small bus to the cart boarding area, where our names were called for the cart ride. We took a light tour around Taketomi, and once that was done, we immediately took a small bus to the port and then a boat back to Ishigaki.

This was the general itinerary. It felt like we were constantly changing modes of transportation and just sitting around (laughs). Honestly, I found Taketomi Island quite unsatisfactory, and since there was no free time, I wouldn't recommend the glass-bottom boat and cart ride plan. There simply wasn't enough time for both. I would have preferred a later return boat, but the schedule was fixed.

What I liked: It provided an opportunity to visit places I wouldn't normally go to. I was able to see the mangrove forest.

What I wouldn't recommend: The glass-bottom boat at Taketomi Island. The shallow and deep areas alternated quite a bit, so seeing the fish felt underwhelming, like, "Is that it?" (Since it takes 30 minutes to go out and come back.)

初の石垣島旅行。天気は曇り。
朝7:25にホテル発ということで、バスは7:20にはホテル前に
来ていました。
ただ不運なことに私たちのほかの団体さんが7:35とかに
平気で来て、出発から遅れ気味。
ターミナルについたら、各コースに分かれて説明を聞きます。

西表島の中に、小さな由布島がくっついている感じ。
石垣→西表島ついてすぐ船乗り換えてマングローブクルーズ
→すぐバスで由布。ついてすぐ牛車→由布で
ご飯（40分）＆散策（30分）くらい。散策といっても
ちょっとアイス食べに行っていたらもう集合場所に戻らないと！ってなる。

由布→牛車→すぐバス→すぐ船で竹富へ。
西表島はバスで上陸のみでした。

竹富島到着→すぐグラスボード（30分）→陸についたら、
小さいバスで牛車乗り場へ→名前呼ばれて牛車→竹富を軽く回る
→終わったら即小さいバスで船場へ→船で石垣。

こんな感じの工程です。乗り物をバンバン変えて座っている感じ（笑）
正直、竹富島とか全く物足りなくて、自由時間なかったので、
グラスボードと牛車プランはオススメしないですねー。両方は時間が
なさすぎる。帰りの船がもう少し後のがいいのだけど、時間が決まってました。

良かったところ：個人ではわざわざいかないところに行くきっかけに
なったこと。マングローブ群がみれたこと。

オススメしないこと：竹富島でグラスボード
浅瀬と深いところが結構交互にある感じなので、何度も
深いところと浅瀬を見るので、実際に魚を見た感じが
え？これだけ？って感じだった。（30分で沖まで行って戻ってくるので）

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Above all, it was great that it was only Japanese people. From the initial explanation to the detailed instructions for transferring vehicles, everything was clear and there was no confusion. Finally, thank you for taking us by large bus to the ANA InterContinental Hotel. The tour guide, the person who provided explanations, and the driver were all great.

何よりも、日本人だけだったのが最高でした。最初の説明から乗り物の乗り換えや、間違わないように導く細かな指示が解りやすく、迷うことが無かった。最後は貸し切りでANAインターコンチネンタルホテルまで大型バスで送って頂きありがとうございました。添乗員らしき方も、説明頂いた方も、運転手さんも良かったです。

This tour was really good for visiting many places in one day at a really inexpensive price. I went to four really interesting spots.
While there was an English audio guide on the bus, it wasn't that good and the actual guide doesn't speak English. Which is fine because you don't necessarily need that because most of the location had employees that do speak some English. Also the tour guide sang a few, what I assume, traditional Ryukyu songs.
I wish I had more time in some places and less in others, but like I said for the price it can't be beat. Just be prepared for a long bus ride.

It was a very international bus tour with only foreign participants. The guide was also fluent in English. They took us to all the important spots, which was very helpful. ^ - ^

外国の方しかいなくて、かなり国際的なバスツアーでした。
ガイドさんも英語堪能でした。
要所要所きちんと連れて行ってくださり助かりました^ - ^

It takes a whole day, but they will take you to all the major spots. I think it's great for those who don't drive. The admission fee for Churaumi Aquarium is included, so I think it's cheap. The tour guide also shares some interesting stories about Okinawa. More than half of the tour participants were foreigners from China and South Korea. They were provided with audio guides. There was enough space on the bus, so I used two seats for myself and comfortably napped during the ride. It was disappointing that the stay on Kouri Island was too short, and I couldn't fully enjoy the sea. But I ended up spending time at a shop where sea grapes were cheap, haha. However, even including that, 20 minutes was too short. Personally, I thought American Village wasn't worth visiting. I was puzzled about what to do there.

丸一日かかりますが、一通りメジャーなところに連れて行ってくれます。
運転しない人にとっては良いと思います。
美ら海の入場料も入っているので安いと思います。
添乗員さんもちょいちょい沖縄ネタを話してくれるので面白いです。
ツアー参加者の半分以上が中国、韓国あたりの外国人でした。
そちらの方には音声ガイドが配られていました。
バスの座席に余裕があったので１人２席使って、移動中は寝たりして快適に過ごしていました。
古宇利島の滞在時間が短すぎて、海が全然堪能できなかったのは残念。
でもこれは海ぶどうが安いというお店で時間を費やしてしまったためｗ
しかしこれも含めて２０分てのは短すぎたな～
アメリカンビレッジは個人的には行かなくて良いかなと思いました。
何して過ごせばいいのか謎でした。

There are various optional tours available on Taketomi Island, but the reason I chose VELTRA is that they offer round-trip transportation to and from the hotel. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride, bicycle rental, and the chance to enjoy Taketomi Island. Especially the water buffalo cart ride was nice because it was just my husband and me along with one other couple, allowing us to ride comfortably. The person who provided the round-trip transportation to the hotel was very friendly and kind, and since we were the only ones on the way there, they shared a lot of local information, which was enjoyable. I'm glad I used their service.

竹富島でのオプショナルツアーはいろいろな旅行会社でありますが、私がVELTRAさんを選んだ理由は、ホテルまでの往復送迎があるからです。ツアー内容は、水牛車・レンタサイクルと竹富島を楽しむことが出来ました。特に水牛車は、たまたま私達夫婦ともう一組だけでしたので、ゆったりと乗車することが出来ました。ホテルまで往復送迎してくださった方はとても楽しく親切で、往路は私達だけでしたので、地元情報などいろいろ教えていただき楽しかったです。利用して良かったです。

The main focus of this trip was to take photos of the kids on Taketomi Island, so we chose a tour that included a bus sightseeing option. It seemed like my daughter was really into searching for star sand. The bus driver was very kind to the children and had a great demeanor. However, the tour itself felt a bit tight on time. We only got off the bus to look for star sand, and the rest was from the window, so we couldn't take many photos. Later, we hurriedly rented bicycles to explore. Since it's a small island, it might have been better to start with a rental cycle course. That's my lack of research...

The water buffalo cart was a huge hit with the family! We could leisurely stroll through the stone-built village just as I had imagined, and the guide's explanations included some humor, which kept the kids engaged. I felt that next time, I would like to stay overnight on Taketomi Island!

今回の旅行のメインが竹富島で子供達の写真を撮る事だったので、バス観光付きのツアーを選択。娘のメインは星の砂探しだったようで夢中になってました。バス観光の運転手さんは子供達にも優しく接してくれてとても感じのよい方でした。ただ、ツアー自体はちょっと時間がタイトかな？下車するのも星の砂だけであとは車窓からなので写真を撮る事は出来ず、後から慌てて自転車借りて走り回りました。小さい島なので最初からレンタルサイクルのコースにすればよかったかも。私のリサーチ不足ですね。。。

水牛車は家族も大喜び！イメージしてた通りの石垣造りの集落をのんびりと散策できるし、ガイドさんの説明も所々に笑いを挟み子供達も退屈しない内容でした。次回は竹富島でゆっくり一泊したいなぁと感じました！！

I thought it would be a hassle to rent a car from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I looked for a bus tour and found one to join. The time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium was just right, and it was great that we could stop by Kouri Island and Sunset Beach as well. About half of the participants were foreigners.

那覇から美ら海水族館まで、レンタカーを借りていくのも面倒と思い、バスツアーを探していて見つけ、参加しました。
美ら海水族館の滞在時間もちょうどよく、古宇利島やサンセットビーチに立ち寄れたのもよかったです。
参加者の半分くらいは外国人でした。

I have traveled with my mother many times, but this was her first visit to Ishigaki Island, so we participated in this tour. It was very helpful because organizing a schedule on our own with ferry transfers and the water buffalo cart has its limits! The transportation was a lot of fun, with ferries and buses on Iriomote Island, and the cruise was just great.

At the end, on Taketomi Island, she was very happy and moved by the beautiful blue sea. Thank you very much!

母娘旅は何度も行きましたが、石垣島は母は初めてと言う事でこちらのツアーに参加しました。フェリーの乗り継ぎや水牛車など個人でスケジュールを組むのは限界があるのでとても助かりました！移動はフェリーと西表島ではバスにクルーズにとにかく楽しかったです。
最後の竹富島では海の青さに感動したととても喜んでくれました
本当にありがとうございました！

After riding a water buffalo and exploring the town, I also took a walk. I only had an hour to tour the town due to my next schedule, but it was enough to enjoy it thoroughly.

水牛に乗って町並みを回った後、歩いて散策もしました。次の予定もあったので1時間で町を回っただけですが、十分堪能できました。

As expected, it was 34 degrees and sunny in Okinawa.
It was hot and dazzling.
About 15 years ago, I also visited Taketomi Island, but it was cloudy and I couldn't see the sun, so I didn't feel the beauty of the star sand beach at Kaiji Beach very much.
However, this time I was able to see the beautiful beach shining in various colors.
It was tough because of the heat, but it was beautiful!
I'm glad I included the bus tour.
In that heat, riding a bicycle would have been a bit difficult.
This was my second experience with the water buffalo cart.
Handsome Maekun, who is scared of bicycles, froze every time a bicycle came by.
He also froze again because he was feeling uneasy about the poop.
The guide's singing was also great.
The leisurely water buffalo cart tour was enjoyable and had its charm.
After that, we walked to the shop where the staff was making handmade rice balls for the young people.
They looked delicious.
They apologized, saying they could make them because there were extra ingredients, and they couldn't make them for us.
They really looked delicious, and I thought I would love to buy handmade rice balls from the island's grandmas!
At the resting spot, the sleepy kitty didn't move at all (laughs).
In the waiting room for the water buffalo cart tour, I was able to purchase a cute dress, postcards, and island pepper.
Thank you very much!

さすが沖縄で34度の晴天
暑い、まぶしかったです
約15年前にも竹富島に来ましたが、お日様がみえなく曇っていたので、星砂のカイジ浜の海辺はあまり綺麗さを感じることができませんでした
でも今回はとても綺麗な何色にも光る海辺を見ることができました
暑くて大変でしたが綺麗～
バス観光を入れてよかったです
あの暑さでは自転車はちょっと無理でした
水牛車も今回で2度目の経験
自転車が怖いハンサム真栄くん
自転車が来るたびにフリーズしていました
あとはうんちでムズムズしてまたフリーズしていました
ガイドのお姉さんの唄も上手です
ゆったり水牛車観光も味があって楽しかったです
そのあとは歩いて売店でお店のかたが若者に手作りおにぎりを作成中
おいしそうでした
あまりものがあったから作れた、作ってあげれなくてごめんね、と謝ってくれました
確かにおいしそうで、島のおあばあの手作りおにぎりは売っていただきたい！と思ってしまいました
休憩場所ですやすやねこちゃんも微動だにせず（笑）
水牛車観光待合室ではかわいいワンピースと絵葉書、島こしょうを購入できました
ありがとうございました

I recommend this for beginners in Okinawa and those who don't rent cars! It’s great for understanding the geography, as it takes you from Naha down to the beautiful Churaumi Aquarium up north.

Especially, Kouri Island is wonderful; although we only had 30 minutes, we could still splash around a bit.

One disappointing aspect was that even though we weren't late, the bus guide rushed us a couple of times. Also, the guidance during the time at Warumi Bridge was unclear, leaving us confused inside the bus.

Additionally, please be aware that there are very few places to eat or buy food at Churaumi Aquarium, and it gets quite crowded! If you prepare in advance by picking up snacks at a convenience store, you can save time and enjoy your visit more comfortably.

沖縄初心者＆レンタカー借りない派にはオススメです！沖縄の下の方、那覇から乗って上の方の美ら海水族館までぐぐーっと行ってくれるので、地理を把握するには良いと思います。
特に古宇利島は素晴らしく、30分しかなかったですが、ちょっとパシャパシャ遊ぶくらいは可能です◎
残念だったことは、時間に遅れていないのにバスガイドさんに急かされた場面が2回程ありました。また、わるみ大橋の時の案内が分かりづらく、車内は？？という感じでした。
あと気を付けてほしいことは、美ら海水族館には食事をする/買う場所がとっても少ない上に混んでいます！！事前にコンビニなどで調達しておくと時間もセーブできるし、安心して回れると思います＾＾

I found a course that allows you to visit Kouri Island and Pineapple Park. There were a few places where we had to hurry to make it on time, but I was very satisfied to be able to go this far for this price. The guide was cheerful and kind. The sanshin performance at the end in the vehicle was also nice. Most of the participants were from overseas, but the manners in the vehicle were good, making it comfortable. There was almost no delay in time. They provided pick-up and drop-off at several hotels, so it was convenient to choose one nearby.

古宇利島、パイナップルパークもまわれるコースを探していて見つけました。少し急がないと間に合わない箇所もありましたが、この値段でここまで行ければ大満足です。
ガイドの方も明るくて親切でした。最後に車内でひいてくださった三線もよかったです。
海外の方がほとんどでしたが、車内でのマナーもよかったので快適でした。時間の遅れもほぼありませんでした。
ホテルを何カ所か送迎してくれるので近くを選べて便利でした。

I understood, but it was a bit disappointing that each stop in Mishima was quite short. I could hardly see anything on Yufu Island.

On Taketomi Island, I went cycling, and the weather was great, which made it perfect. It's ideal for quickly getting a feel for the island's atmosphere, and I think it's convenient without worrying about transportation. However, next time, I would like to explore each island a bit more thoroughly.

わかってはいましたが、三島巡るため、やはりひとつひとつが短時間なのが、少し残念でした。特に由布島は、ほとんど見ることができなかったです。
竹富島では、サイクリングをしましたが、お天気もよく最高でした。
ささっと島の雰囲気を知るには最適ですし、交通の心配もなく便利と思いますが、次回は各島をもう少しじっくり見たいです。

Due to the long holiday, there were many participants, but everything went smoothly, including the staff's transfer guidance, allowing us to enjoy our time without any waiting.
On Taketomi Island, I chose to go cycling. Under the blue sky, I rode along the white path with butterflies fluttering around.
Although it was the end of April, the UV rays were strong, so a hat and sunscreen are essential.

大型連休中であったため多数の参加者がおられましたが、スタッフの方の乗り換え案内など全てがスムーズで、待ち時間なく楽しく過ごせました。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選択しました。青い空の下、蝶々がヒラヒラ舞う中、白い道を走りました。
4月末でしたが、紫外線が強く、帽子と日焼け止めは必須です。

Since I was with small children (2 years and 7 months old), I thought cycling would be difficult, so we opted for a bus tour. We got off at Kaiji Beach and picked up star sand, and although we only saw Kondoi Beach from the bus window, it was such a beautiful beach that I thought I would like to play in the water next time. Also, on the water buffalo cart, we spent a leisurely time with the guide and the melody of the sanshin!

小さな子供連れ(2歳と7カ月)だったので、サイクリングは無理だと思いバス観光にしました。
カイジ浜では下車して星砂拾ったり、コンドイビーチは車窓からでしたが、今度来る時は水遊びしてみたいなと思うくらい綺麗なビーチでした。
また水牛車ではガイドと三線のメロディと共に時間もゆっくり流れのんびり過ごせました！

The Good:
Overall a very good time, had lots of fun at all 3 attractions, though I would have loved more time to spend at the Charaumi Aquarium.

I really do recommend the butterfly garden--even if you can't book this tour, that was a really lovely experience, would have loved to spend more time there as well.

Despite the "English Audio" label, neither tour guide or driver could really speak or understand English, but the trip still went really smoothly despite that. I think I missed some extra info (like special highlights of the area, or feeding times for the animals), but the tour guide was really nice, and really tried to be helpful despite the language gap.

The Bad:
My trip started at 8AM when the bus picked me up and ended at 6PM, and while the trip hit 4 different gift stores, they mainly sell a wide variety of sweets. Lunch wound up being a bowl of ramen soup--tasty, but it's not enough to cover breakfast and dinner together.

I didn't like the final gift store that was part of the "free little gift" package, where we got a free cookie with any other purchase, because by the end of the day I was ready for my hotel and real food. However--and I'm assuming the tour company was getting a kick-back from the store--we were parked there for 30 minutes, and after 10 minutes 90% of the group was sitting on the bus waiting to leave.

I realize "dumping tourists in a gift-store" is a common business practice, but when you're inconveniencing and irritating most of your guests, you should probably stop it.

There were many people in the group, and I felt a bit awkward being alone, but I still enjoyed it. I generally prefer to sightsee at a leisurely pace, so I have the impression that tours are busy except during the daytime. I also had to be considerate of the other group while eating, so next time I come, I plan to buy my own ticket and travel at my own pace. I think it would be fun for a family trip.

皆さんグループの方が多く、１人だと気まずい気分になりましたが楽しめました。
基本的に私はのんびり観光したいのでやはりツアーは昼間を除いて忙しいイメージが有ります。
食事も他のグループに気を使いながら食べたので今度来るときは自分で乗船券を買って気ままに旅行しようと思いました。
家族旅行なら楽しいと思います。

I thought visiting three islands in one day would be tough, but there was plenty of free time, and I was able to take a lot of photos. The weather on Iriomote Island changed suddenly, and it rained a bit, but that's common here, so I was prepared for it. The guide for the Iriomote tour was very polite and, above all, greeted us with a smile. On Yubu Island, they provided separate guides for the ox cart ride to and from, and on the way back, they entertained us with the sanshin. On Taketomi Island, we explored the island by renting bicycles. There were a few more hills than I expected, which was a bit tiring.

I couldn't find any star sand at Kaiji Beach at all. If you really want to find it, it might take more than a day. The view from Kondoi Beach is absolutely the best.

１日で３島めぐりはキツイかなと思いましたが、自由時間も余裕があり写真もかなり撮ることができました。西表は天気が急転して少し雨になりましたがここではよくあることで想定済みでした。西表ツアーのガイドさんも丁寧で何よりも笑顔で接してくました。由布島の牛車は、行きと帰りのガイドさんを別にしてくれて帰りは三線で楽しませてくれました。竹富島ではレンタサイクルで島を巡りました。想定したよりもちょっとした坂が多く地味に疲れました。
カイジ浜の星の砂は、全く見つかりせんでした。本気で見つけようとしたら１日じゃすまないかもです。コンドイビーチの景色は何よりも最高です。

It was my first trip to Okinawa. It turned out to be a surprisingly wonderful travel memory. I was enchanted by the bus guide's singing voice.

初めての沖縄旅行でした。思いのほか素晴らしい旅行の思い出になりました。
バスガイドさんの歌声にうっとり^_^

This was the perfect tour to see many sites in northern Okinawa esp since we did not rent a car. It is very good value for your money. The time spent at the pineapple park is a bit short but sufficient to see the gift shop. We have seen the dole plantation so was ok with the time.

It was a very fulfilling plan. At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had three hours, allowing us to take our time and explore thoroughly. At the Ryukyu Mura, large butterflies landed on the flowers and didn't fly away even when we got close. I heard that Okinawa soba was a light snack, but the portion was satisfying. At the Pineapple Park, of course, there were pineapples, but we also got to sample various souvenirs, which filled us up. The pick-up was from the Southwest Hotel, so it took quite a bit of time for the round trip, but since it was from Naha, it can't be helped.

大変充実したプランでした。美ら水族館では3時間の時間があった為、じっくり回って見る事が出来ます。琉宮城では大きな蝶が花に幾匹も止まり、近寄っても逃げません。沖縄そばは軽食と伺いましたが満足の量でした。パイナップルパークではパイナップルはもちろんでしたが、お土産品の試食を色々と頂けお腹がいっぱいになりました。送迎は南西ホテルからでしたので、往復にかなり時間がかかりましたが、那覇からですので仕方ありませんね。

I rarely have the opportunity to go to the very edge like Cape Hedo, so I think those who love exploring the farthest places would want to aim for it. The weather was great, which made it even better. I also worked hard to trek two courses at the Oishi Forest Mountain. There are four courses in total. I thoroughly enjoyed the Churaumi Aquarium as well. The scene of the whale shark being fed was quite impressive. I also watched the dolphin show. Oki-chan (the dolphin) was lively. Three hours flew by just like that. Due to traffic during the holiday, we were delayed by an hour, but they made sure to keep the schedule intact without cutting anything. However, there was little time for lunch, and some items were sold out or had stopped taking orders, which was a bit disappointing. Just getting to Kunigami was enough for me...

なかなか辺戸岬のような端まで行く機会がなかったので，最果てめぐりが好きな人は目指しだがるのではないでしょうか？天気も良かったので最高でした。大石林山のトレッキングも頑張って2コースまわりました。4コースあります。美ら海水族館も十分堪能しました。ジンベイザメの餌を食べるシーンはなかなかでした。イルカのショーも見ました。おきちゃん（イルカ），元気でした。これだけで3時間なんてあっという間でした。連休の渋滞で，時間が1時間ずれ込みましたがどこもカットされず，しっかり時間を確保してくださいました。ただ昼食は時間が少なく，sold outになっていたりオーダーストップがかかっていたりとちょっと残念。国頭まで行けただけで十分かな...

The guide was unfriendly and seemed to just be going through the motions. The audio guide device ran out of battery quickly. I had it replaced, but I wished they had charged it fully beforehand.

ガイドさんが無愛想で、仕事をこなしてるだけといった感じで不親切でした。
音声ガイド機器の充電がすぐに切れてしまいました。新しいものに交換してもらいましたが、事前に充電を満タンにしておいてくれれば良かったのにな、と思いました。

Although the weather was unfortunately rainy and cloudy, I was glad to have included this tour, as there wouldn't have been much else to do. The mangrove tour involved riding a boat up the Nakama River while listening to our guide's stories, and we returned afterward. The water buffalo cart to Yufu Island was a slow but soothing experience with the hardworking buffalo. There was plenty to do on Yufu Island, including visiting the butterfly garden, so I never felt bored. It was a bit disappointing that the lunchbox was cold; perhaps it was due to the large number of people, but I would have preferred freshly made food. When we arrived at Taketomi Island, it was raining quite a bit, but we bravely cycled in our raincoats. I enjoyed spotting cute birds and eating soba. Everyone on Taketomi Island was very kind.

雨が降ったり止んだりとあいにくの天気でしたが、このツアーを入れてなかったら他にできることもなかったので良かったです。
マングローブツアーはガイドさんの話を聞きながら船で仲間川をのぼり、戻ってきました。
由布島への水牛車はゆーっくりと頑張ってる牛に癒されました。由布島内もちょう園など、退屈することはありませんでした。お弁当は冷めてしまっていて少し残念でした。人数が多いから仕方ないのかもしれませんが作りたてのご飯が食べたかったです。
竹富島に着いた時は雨も結構降っていたのですがレインコートでサイクリングを強行。可愛い鳥を発見したり、そばを食べたりと楽しめました。竹富島の人はみなさん優しかったです。

I think this is a well-organized tour that allows you to visit key spots while covering a long distance in a limited amount of time. Personally, I felt I could have spent a bit more time at Daishi Forest Mountain, but overall, the schedule was reasonable. As far as I could find, this was the only tour that goes to the northernmost point of the main island, so I appreciated that aspect as well.

限られた時間内で長距離を移動しつつ要所を見て回れる、コンパクトにまとまった良いツアーだと思います。確かに個人的には大石林山にもう少しいたかったかなとは思いますが、全体的に見ると妥当な時間割でした。
本島最北端へ行けるツアーは調べた限りこちらしかなかったので、その意味でもありがたかったです。
