All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

It was the tour I had been looking forward to. The bus departed on time. The driver was Mr. Ohtake, and the guide was Mr. Ooshiro. Both of them were wonderful and experienced individuals. Along the way, a few guests joined us at Galleria and American Village. Finally, we set off. First, we were able to see planes taking off from the observation deck at the military base. After that, we headed towards the Churaumi Aquarium. We leisurely enjoyed the view of the emerald green coastline along the way. We had a generous two and a half hours to explore the aquarium, where we could see the majestic whale sharks swimming in the large tanks, along with various fish. Although we didn’t go, it was also possible to watch a dolphin show. We had lunch inside the aquarium. It was early October, but the temperature was a scorching 32 degrees. We needed to be careful not to get heatstroke. Sunscreen and hats are necessary. After that, we stopped by the Okashi Goten for some souvenir time, where we could sample some sweets. Next, we set off for Manzamo. At Manzamo, we walked around the promenade while listening to Mr. Ooshiro's explanations. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful. Next was American Village, where we sampled taco rice and burritos, which are not commonly eaten on the mainland. It was a strange taste, but it was also a fun experience. The bus arrived at the Prefectural Office around 6 PM, earlier than scheduled. During the bus ride, Mr. Ooshiro explained Okinawa's history in a clear and thorough manner. It was a precious time to hear about Okinawa from a local. It was truly a satisfying tour that catered to our every need.

期待していた通りのツアーでした。バスは時間通りに出発。ドライバーは大竹さん、ガイドは大城さん。お二人とも経験豊富な素敵な方々です。途中ギャラリアとアメリカンビレッジで数名のお客さんが合流。いよいよ出発。まずは米軍基地、展望台で離陸して行く飛行機を見る事が出来ました。その後ちゅら海洋水族館に向けて移動。途中エメラルドグリーンの海岸線をのんびりと眺める事が出来ました。海洋水族館の見学時間はたっぷり２時間半。巨大な水槽で堂々と泳ぐジンベイ鮫や数々の魚を見ることができました。私たちは行きませんでしたがイルカショーを見る事も可能です。館内で各自昼食をとりました。10月初期でしたが32度の猛暑。
熱中症にならないように気を付ける必要があります。日焼け止め及び帽子が必要です。その後お菓子御殿に立ち寄りお土産タイム。サンプルのお菓子を頂けます。次は万座毛に向け出発。万座毛ではガイドの大城さんの説明を聞きながら遊歩道を一周。あいにくの曇り空、でも海が綺麗です。次はアメリカンビレッジ。本土ではあまり食べないタコライスとブリトーを試食。不思議なお味、これも楽しい経験です。バスは時間より早めの6時頃県庁前に到着です。バスの中でガイドの大城さんが沖縄を歴史を分かりやすく丁寧に説明して下さいました。沖縄の事を現地の方からお聞きすることができる貴重な時間です。本当に至れり尽くせりの満足できるツアーでした。

It was very fun! I was able to have various experiences, and I was happy. I want to go to Ishigaki again and participate! I will do my best at work from now on and look forward to enjoying even better trips.

とても、楽しく！
色々な体験をすることができました、幸せでしたまた石垣に行き参加したいです！
ぜび、これから仕事がんばってもっといい旅行を楽しみにしてます

The tour was very punctual and the tour guide was very nice and professional. She even gave out some treats during the long ride between destinations. Overall, great value and comfortable ride to and back from the aquarium. It's a much longer journey time-wise due to the multiple stops to pick up additional customers, but if you're looking for a cost-efficient way to visit the aquarium, this one-day tour is a great option to consider, especially taking into account how many other additional sites are included.

#Three Generation Trip# On my first visit to a remote island, I took the Dream Ferry from Ishigaki Island Terminal to Taketomi Island, where I enjoyed a glass-bottom boat ride, searched for star sand, and even rode a cart pulled by oxen. The sea was beautiful, the air was fresh, and I had a wonderfully relaxing time. I would love to visit Taketomi Island again someday. I want to ride the glass-bottom boat one more time. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I highly recommend this remote island. (^ -^)

#三世代旅#初めての離島で、石垣島ターミナルから竹富島までにドリームフェリー乗って、グラスボートや星の砂を探しや牛車にも乗りました。海も綺麗ですし、空気も綺麗ですし、大変のんびり楽しみました。またいつか竹富島に行きたいです。グラスボートにももう一回乗りたいです。٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
大変おすすめできる離島です。(^-^)

Visiting Taketomi Island with my 5-year-old and 1-year-old was fantastic. I believe the round-trip ferry fare, water buffalo ride, and one-day rental bike price is unbeatable! It was a great help that we could rent a family bicycle. Since we didn't have a rental car, the hotel pick-up service was especially convenient! Everyone was very kind, and it turned out to be a fun trip! I would love to use this service again. Thank you!

5歳、1歳の子供を連れての竹富島。往復の乗船料、水牛、一日レンタサイクルでこの値段は他には絶対ないと思います！レンタサイクルも親子自転車が借りられて助かりました。我が家はレンタカーをつけてなかったので、ホテルへの送迎付きが何より助かりました！みなさんとても親切で、楽しい旅になりました！また利用したいです。ありがとうございました！

It was interesting to experience various things, but the lunch was cold and not good. Is there any way to improve that...?

いろいろ体験できておもしろかったんですが、ランチは冷たいし、まずいし、あれはどうにかならないものですかねぇ・・・？

I was a little disappointed because the guide seemed more like a resident, and I wanted to hear more about the local Okinawan dialect and accent. However, I had a great time and really enjoyed myself.

少し期待外れだったのは
ガイドさんがほぼ移住の方のようで
現地の沖縄の方言とか訛りの話し方が聞いてみたかったなぁと思ってたのでちょっと残念。
でもとても楽しかったですよ。満喫できました。

After the passage of Typhoon No. 18, there were concerns about the itinerary, but we were able to depart safely by reversing the schedule. We enjoyed a leisurely trip under the blue sky, riding the water buffalo carts on both Taketomi Island and Yubu Island. The lunch bento we had on Yubu Island was also delicious.

台風18号の通過後で履行が危ぶまれましたが、スケジュールを逆周りにするということで無事に出発できました。
竹富島と由布島のどちらの水牛車にも乗り、青空の下ゆったりのんびりとした旅を満喫出来ました。
由布島で食べたお昼のお弁当も美味しかったです。

- It was a tour involving multiple operators, including a ferry to the remote islands, a boat on Iriomote Island, a bus, a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, lunch, and rental bicycles on Taketomi Island. Everything was very well coordinated, allowing for smooth sightseeing without any confusion.
- It was also great that the boat captain on Iriomote Island, the bus driver, and the water buffalo cart operator provided explanations.
- Contrary to the weather forecast, we were blessed with good weather for three days and were able to enjoy very beautiful scenery. Even the photos I took look stunning!

・3つの離島を巡るため、離島へ渡る船、西表島でのボート、バス、由布島へ渡る水牛車、ランチ、竹富島でのレンタサイクル等、複数の業者が関わるツアーでしたが、非常に良くコーディネートされていて、迷うことなくスムーズに観光出来ました。
・西表島でのボートの操縦士さんやバスの運転手さん、水牛車の操者の方が解説をしてくださるのも良かったです。
・事前の天気予報と変わって、3日間天気に恵まれ、とても美しい景色を堪能出来ました。自分で撮った写真ですら美しいと思える景色です！

The tour went smoothly and they didn't waste too much time at the lesser sights (pineapple park and butterfly garden). There was plenty of time at the aquarium, which is the highlight of the tour. The traffic coming back was pretty bad so the drop off time was later than expected.

It's easier than going on your own, and I think the package price is a good deal. I was surprised by the intelligence of the water buffalo as they turned while considering their turning radius. The sea was beautiful, and I was captivated by it.

自分で行くより楽だし、セット料金もお得だと思います。
水牛は内輪差を考えながら曲がったりしてるので、その賢さにびっくりしました。
海は綺麗で見惚れました。

I happened to find a tour site to go with my friends.
I was very satisfied with the tour!
Our destination was the Churaumi Aquarium!
It was my first time visiting the Churaumi Aquarium, and we were blessed with good weather. I really enjoyed such a dynamic aquarium with so much movement.
I wished we had a little more time to enjoy it.
The dolphin show was amazing, and I was surprised by the dolphins' abilities.
At Manzamo, as soon as we arrived, it started pouring rain, but miraculously, a beautiful big rainbow appeared.
At American Village, I was very satisfied that we could stretch our legs all the way to Sunset Beach!
I definitely want to participate again!
The staff welcomed us with smiles and thoughtful hospitality.
I would like to participate again.

友人と行くためにたまたま見つけたツアーサイトでした。
ツアー的になとても満足で良かったです！
わたし達の目的が、美ら海水族館でした！
美ら海水族館へ初めて行きましたが、お天気ににも恵まれ、大迫力でここまで動きがある水族館はとても楽しめました。
もう少し時間がほしいと思う楽しめました。
イルカショーではイルカの能力に驚きでした
次の
万座毛では到着した瞬間、大雨がふりましたが、逆に奇跡的に大きな虹がかかりとても綺麗でした。
アメリカンビレッジでは、サンセットビーチまて足を伸ばす事が出来とても満足でした！
また絶対参加したいです！
スタッフさんもいつも笑顔で思いやりのおもてなし頂きお出迎いして頂きました。
また、参加したいと思います。

I participated alone, but it was a tour that I could enjoy even by myself. I was the only solo participant on the same tour.
On Taketomi Island, I chose cycling, and it was great to have the time to freely cycle around the island and choose my return ferry time at my convenience.

1人で参加しましたが、十分1人でも楽しめるツアーでした。同じツアーでの1人参加は私だけでした。
竹富島では、サイクリングを選択し自由に島1週できる時間はあり帰りのフェリーの時間も自由に選べてよかったです。

I'm glad I was able to visit various places.
The content was abundant!
The guide was also very kind, and I had a great time!

いろんなところを、まわれてよかったです。
内容が盛り沢山でした！
ガイドの方も親切にしていただき楽しかったです！

I chose this because it was cheap, but I wish I had read more reviews. I realized that since it's a worldwide site, there are many customers from the continent. The audio guide was just for listening, and I felt like a lunch refugee at the aquarium. The guide was quite businesslike, only focusing on the meeting time and roll call. I don't think it's suitable for those expecting Japanese-style service or for domestic travelers. I felt relieved when the driver said "Welcome back." The content of the tour was good.

安かったから選びましたが、もっとクチコミを読めばよかったです。ワールドワイドなサイトなので大陸からのお客さんが多いのだと気づきました。音声ガイドは聞くだけ・水族館でランチ難民・ガイド？？さんは事務的で集合時間と点呼だけ…という感じで、
日本的対応を期待する方や国内旅行の方には向いていないと思います。運転手さんがおかえりなさいと言ってくれたのがホッとしました。
ツアーの内容は良かったです。

A tour that captures the best parts of Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island. The time allocation was just right, with no waiting times or idle moments, making it a very good tour. The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was especially enjoyable. On the ox cart ride to Yubu Island, the guide treated us to a beautiful song! I didn't have high expectations for the lunch since it was a bento box, but it turned out to be delicious, featuring several local Okinawan specialties. I couldn't finish the rice, so I wish I had gone with a bigger appetite!

西表島、由布島、竹富島のいいところだけを切り取ったツアー。時間配分もちょうどよく、特に待ち時間や暇な時間、あるいは足りない時間などがなかった、とてもよいツアーでした。西表島のマングローブクルーズが特に楽しかったです。由布島までの牛車では、ガイドさんが綺麗な歌声を披露してくださいました！昼食はお弁当ということであまり期待していませんでしたが、沖縄の名物が何種類も入った美味しいお弁当でした。お米が食べ切れなかったので、もっとお腹を空かせてから行けばよかったと思います笑

The places we visited were truly wonderful, but the attitude of the bus guide was terrible. I could only think that they were looking down on people; I don't want to use the same company again.

行く場所などは本当に素晴らしかったが、バスガイドの態度がひどかった。人を舐めてるとしか思えなかった、もう同じ会社は使いたくない

I arrived in Osaka on Peach Aviation on September 29. Since I had some time before checking into the hotel, I joined this tour. It's more economical than purchasing the ferry fare and water buffalo cart tickets separately. After the tour, I strolled around the island, but even though it's the end of September, it was over 30°C and blazing hot. Walking around is quite difficult. I definitely recommend renting a bicycle as well. However, the village has coral sand laid out, which can be slippery; I saw several people slip and fall. It's best to explore the outer roads by bicycle and walk around the village.

9月29日にピーチ航空で大阪から到着。ホテルにチェックインするまで時間があるのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。フェリー代と水牛車のチケットを別々に購入するよりお得です(^^)ツアー終了後は徒歩で島を散策しましたが、9月の終わりとは言え30℃越えのカンカン照り。徒歩で回るには無理があります。是非レンタサイクルもつけましょう。ただし集落内はサンゴ砂が敷き詰めてあるため、よく滑るようで、何人も滑ったり転んだりする人を見ました。外周道路は自転車で、集落内は徒歩で散策するのがオススメです。

I participated in a tour of the Churaumi Aquarium.

I didn't research beforehand, so it was disappointing that there was no all-you-can-eat pineapple at the first stop, Nago Pineapple Park.

The stay at the Churaumi Aquarium was three hours, and I thought that would be long, but once I got there, I realized that it wasn't nearly enough time.

Overall, I think the tour was packed with activities.

However, it was a bit disappointing that there were hardly any Japanese participants, and instead of hearing directly from the guide, we only listened to a multilingual audio guide through earphones.

美ら海水族館を回るツアーということで参加しました。

事前に調べていなかったのが悪いのですが、最初の名護パイナップルパークは、パイナップルの食べ放題がなくてがっかりでした。

美ら海水族館の滞在時間は3時間だったのですが、行く前は長いかなと予想していましたが、行ってみたら全然時間が足りないですね。

ツアーとしては盛りだくさんでよかったと思います。

ただ、日本人の参加者がほとんどいないこと、
ガイドさんの直接の話ではなく、多国語対応の音声ガイドをイヤホンで聞くだけなので、
その点はちょっと残念。

Many hotels had pick-up services, and since it was the first hotel, the wait was too long. There was no commentary from the guide, so it felt boring. Also, the small gifts, like stickers, weren't very exciting. I wished we had more time at the aquarium.

多くのホテルにお迎えがあり、最初のホテルだったのでその時間が長すぎました。ガイドの話もなく暇でした。そしてプチプレゼントがシールなどであまり嬉しくなかったです。
また、水族館の時間がもっと欲しかったです。

The shuttle service from the hotel was very helpful. I was able to smoothly arrange for the boat, water buffalo, and cycling. I paid 300 yen for an hour to upgrade to an electric bike on-site, which was a good decision since the roads were sandy and had unexpected ups and downs. Taketomi Island is a wonderful place. You can walk around the village, but definitely try to bike to Nishizaki Pier and Kondoi Beach. You'll be amazed!

ホテルからの送迎があり、とても助かりました。船、水牛、サイクリングとスムーズに手続きできました。自転車は一時間300円を現地で払って電動にしましたが、道が砂地で案外アップダウンがあるので正解でした。竹富島は素敵な島です。集落は歩いても回れますが、西桟橋やコンドイ浜へもぜひ自転車で行ってみて下さい。感動します！

The water buffalo Akahachikun was so cute!! The guide's singing voice was wonderful, and I really enjoyed it!! We also decided to rent bicycles, and it was so much fun to pedal together! I want to do it again!

水牛のあかはちくんがとても可愛かった！！
ガイドさんの歌声も素敵で満喫できました！！
サイクリングも追加で借りることになりましたが、みんなで漕ぐのはとても楽しかったです！またやりたい！

I was able to fully enjoy a packed one-day schedule. I thought it was strange to have both the water buffalo ride from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island and the water buffalo cart in Taketomi, but both offered different experiences, and I understood why they were both included! I would like to use this service again.

１日スケジュールの詰まった予定を満喫出来ました。
西表島から由布島への水牛と竹富での水牛車の何で二回と思っていたのですが、どちらも違う体験ができて、なるほどと納得でした❗
又利用したいです。

There were few snack shops inside and around the Churaumi Aquarium, so there wasn't much to eat, and we ended up ordering something reluctantly. We realized it was our mistake, and if we had known in advance, we would have bought snacks at a convenience store.

As for the tour itself, we were very satisfied and grateful!! The tour guide was really kind and handled the troubles of the Chinese tourists quickly and smartly, looking very cool while doing so!!

美ら海水族館の中やその周辺に、軽食屋さんが少なくて、食べたいものがなかったけど、仕方なく注文して食べた…という感じでした。私たちが悪いが、事前に分かってたら、コンビニで軽食を買ってたなぁ…と自分達のミスに反省しました。
ツアーじたいは、とても満足で感謝しかなかったです！！添乗員の方も本当に親切で、中国人ツアー客のトラブルにも迅速に対応されてて、格好良くスマートにされていました！！

I participated in this tour because I couldn't rent a car while traveling alone. Since it was a weekday, there were few participants, which allowed for a relaxed experience. What I found very good was the freedom to move around almost freely at the destination. As long as you don't miss the meeting time, it's fine. You don't have to match the pace of others. The meals were also luxurious at the resort area.

I was truly satisfied. However, I would be happy if there were a dedicated tour for those who want to spend more time at Daishi Forest Mountain.

1人旅で、レンタカー借りれないので参加しました。平日ともあり、参加人数も少なくのびのびできました。とても良いと思ったのは、現地ではほぼ自由に動ける事。待ち合わせ時間に遅れなければ大丈夫。周りに合わせなくて良いです。食事もリゾート地で豪華でした。
本当に満足できました。
ただ、大石林山にゆっくりしたいので、専用のツアーがあれば嬉しいです

After reading the reviews, my expectations were raised. It was good, but nothing more and nothing less. Also, I went at the end of September, and the sunlight was very strong, so women especially need to take sun protection measures.

体験談を読んでから行ったせいか、期待値が上がってしまっていました。
良かったです。ただそれ以上でもそれ以下でもありません。
また、9月末に行ったのですが日差しがとても強く、女性は特に日焼け対策はマストです。

Despite the heavy rain, I was grateful that the tour went ahead as planned. I was able to participate in the tour. The raincoat I brought as a backup was a lifesaver. The guide on the mangrove cruise mentioned that it had been five years since visibility was this poor. In such conditions, we visited Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi. The round trip from Iriomote to Yufu was by water buffalo cart. I was surprised at how smart the buffalo are! It seems they are more energetic in the rain, and they were faster than I expected. The Taketomi tour was a scenic ride around the island in the water buffalo cart. I thought it would have been even better if the weather had been nice, but it was still very beautiful (о´∀`о). My husband seemed to enjoy the Taketomi tour by water buffalo cart the most. I want to try the glass-bottom boat and the water buffalo cart again. I hope the weather is nice next time. I will participate in the tour again, so please take care of us then.

あいにくの大雨でしたが、雨天決行だったのがありがたい。ツアーに参加する事ができました。予備で持っていたレインコートは大活躍。マングローブクルーズのガイドさんは、こんなに視界が悪いのは5年ぶり。と言っていました。そんな中、西表観光、由布観光、竹富観光。西表から由布の行き帰りは水牛車。牛さんの頭の良い事にびっくり‼牛さんは、雨の方が元気らしく、思ってたより早かったです。竹富観光は水牛車で島めぐり。天気が良かったらもっと最高だろーなーとかいいながらも、とってもキレイでした(о´∀`о)うちの旦那は水牛車での竹富観光が一番良かったみたいです。グラスボートも水牛車も、またリベンジしたいです。次は天気になるといーな。その時はまたツアーに参加しますのでよろしくお願いします。

Even though there is no guide, I think it would be nice to have announcements about today's route and where we are heading next.

The audio guide is also choppy and hard to hear.

ガイド無しとは言っても
今日のルートの確認やこれから向かうところくらいはアナウンスがあってもいいと思う。

音声ガイドも途切れ途切れで聞きづらい。

The water buffalo had a name, and I rode "Tomi-kun" on Taketomi Island. It was relaxing to be pulled around the island by the buffalo. The stories from the buffalo handler were interesting, and it was a very nice time.

水牛には、名前がついていて、私は、竹富島の『富くん』に乗車。のんびりと牛に引かれて島をぐるりと。牛使いさんのお話も面白かったし、とてもいい時間でした。

It was a lunch and a packed sightseeing bus tour at the aquarium and JAL Hotel, which are difficult to reach on your own at the northernmost point. Traveling is better with companions... I made friends with a Japanese wife and some Chinese people, and we enjoyed it together.
I would like to ride again. Thank you very much.

自分では行きにくい最北端、水族館、JALホテルのでランチと盛りだくさんの観光バスツアーでした。旅は道連れ、、、日本人の奥様と中国人の方々と仲良くなり、一緒に楽しみました。
また乗ってみたいです。ありがとうございました。
