All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I usually visit Okinawa about three times a year. This time during Golden Week, I rented a car, but considering the distance and traffic, I found it cumbersome to drive myself. So, I chose this course that includes the Oishi Forest, which I hadn't been to before, among the many options available at the Churaumi Aquarium.

Both Cape Hedo and Oishi Forest were perfect walking courses for my legs that had been sitting on the bus, allowing me to enjoy wonderful and unique views. The lunch buffet was also delicious.

While there was a huge traffic jam for regular cars trying to enter the parking lot at the Churaumi Aquarium, tourist buses have their own parking area, so we were free from the congestion.

I heard that the bus for this course is spacious and comfortable, making the travel time relaxed and enjoyable.

多い年は 年に3回位が行く沖縄です。
ゴールデンウィークの今回もレンタカーを借りていたのですが
距離や渋滞を考えると 自分で運転するのが億劫で、沢山ある美ら海水族館コースの中で、行ったことのない大石林山の含まれてている こちらのコースを選択しました。
辺戸岬も大石林山も バスで座りっきりだった足にちょうど良い お散歩コースで
素敵な眺め 珍しい眺めを 堪能できました。
昼食のバイキングも 美味しかったです。
美ら海水族館は 一般車は駐車場に入るために大渋滞でしたが、観光バスは専用駐車場があるので 渋滞とは無縁でした。

このコースのバスは 足元も広々の ゆったりめのバスが使われているそうで
移動時間も のびのび楽々でした。

This tour was great fun. The pineapple park wasn't a long visit but you could see some different types of pineapples growing take a stroll though the garden and enjoy sampling different types of drinks. The butterflies were very big and friendly and would land on people who stopped long enough to look at them. It makes everyone feel like a Disney princess. The aquarium is beautiful with a lot of information on sharks and had a good dolphin show and opportunities to feed the dolphins (if you find the hidden. Spot before it closes) they keep doing the dolphin show even when the weather was really bad. Lunch was provided at the butterfly place and it decent. A nice bowl of udon but not super filling.

I used the service on a Saturday in April, and it was almost full. I thought it might be noisy since there were people from various countries, but surprisingly, the interior was quite quiet. You can choose your favorite seat in the order of pickup, so if you have more than three people, you might end up sitting apart, which is something to consider. I think it's a nice service that the guide asked for requests regarding drop-off locations. Overall, I believe it's a good course that allows you to visit the famous spots in Okinawa.

4月の土曜日に利用しましたがほぼ満席でした。多国籍の方が乗車されるので騒がしいかなと思いましたが車内は案外静かでした。ピックアップ順に好きな席に座るので３人以上は席が離れてしまう場合があるので配慮して欲しいですね。ガイドさんが降車場所のリクエストを聞いていたので親切なサービスだと思います。
全体的には沖縄の名所を回れる良いコースだと思います。

I participated in a tour that included a rental bicycle. It was prohibited to rent near the Taketomi Island port, so after arriving at Taketomi, we took a shuttle bus to the central area, about a 5-minute drive, to rent bicycles at a designated shop and start our sightseeing.

Unfortunately, it rained continuously on the day of the tour. The weather conditions were not suitable for cycling. (There's nothing we can do about the weather, though.)

The townscape was very beautiful, typical of Okinawa. The sea was also clear and filled with many fish. We couldn't climb Nagomi Tower due to its deterioration. I thought that for strolling around the central area, walking would be sufficient. In fact, on the way back, I walked from the central area to Taketomi Island port, which took about 15 minutes.

During busy seasons, the lunch spots on the island can get crowded, so it might be better to go a bit earlier.

I hope for sunny weather next time, and I want to try sightseeing again.

レンタサイクル付きのツアーに参加しました。
竹富島港付近でのレンタルは禁止されているとのことで、竹富到着後、
車で5分程度の中心部まで送迎バスで移動し、指定店舗で自転車を借りて
観光スタートになります。

当日は残念ながら雨続き。自転車には不向きな条件でした。
（天候ばかりはどうにもできませんが）

町並みは、沖縄らしくとても綺麗でよかったです。海も魚が多く綺麗だったです。
なごみの塔は老朽化で登れませんでした。
中心部付近の散策であれば、徒歩でも十分散策できる範疇と思いました。
実際、帰りは中心部から竹富島港まで歩きましたが15min程度だったかな。

繁忙期は、島内の昼食所は込み合いますので、少し早めに行った方が
良いかもしれません。

次の機会は晴れを祈って、また観光リベンジしたいです。

Traveling as a couple. This time, we booked a tour to leisurely visit two islands without being too greedy. Iriomote Island is rich in nature and perfect for relaxation, but if you're not an active person or nature enthusiast, you might find it a bit boring to stay for long periods since there are relatively few tourist spots for the size of the island. *However, it's a fantastic place for active people or nature lovers who want to stay longer.*

Yubu Island, on the other hand, has adorable cows. You can spend a decent amount of time there, so it's worth a visit.

Overall, the people in the Yaeyama Islands are laid-back, and there's less of the typical touristy pressure to buy things. However, Yubu Island did have a bit of a push for photos, which was a little disappointing.

All in all, we had a great time, so I give it four stars!

夫婦二人で旅行。
今回は欲張らずにまったり2島巡りでツアー予約。
西表島は自然豊かでまったりできるが、アクティブ派やネイチャー志向の人でないと島の広さの割に観光スポットが少ないため長時間の滞在は退屈かも。
※アクティブ派やネイチャー志向（長時間の滞在する人）にはメチャクチャ良いとこです。
由布島はとにかくも牛がかわいい。そこそこ時間も潰せるため行って損はない。
八重山全体に言えることとして、現地の人もまったりしており、観光地特有の商売ごり押しが少ない。
ただ、由布島だけ写真ごり押しがあり、少し残念だった。
総じて楽しかったので星4つ！

I participated with my mother in her 70s. Since it was our first time and she is elderly, I thought it would be better to take it easy so as not to inconvenience other customers. There were only two families on the mangrove cruise, and there were only five passengers on the sightseeing bus in Iriomote Island. We really enjoyed ourselves. The lunch on Yubu Island was a bento, but it was very delicious. My mother was also very satisfied.

70代の母と二人で参加しました。
初めてだし、高齢なのでゆったりしてるほうが他のお客様にも迷惑をかけなくてよいかな、と。
マングローブクルーズも２家族しか乗ってなかったし、西表島での観光バス乗客も５人のみ。すごく満喫できました。由布島でのお昼ごはんはお弁当でしたが、とてもおいしかったです。母も大満足でした。

It was a wonderful experience. I'm glad I participated in this tour with my 76-year-old mother. Thanks to the staff's attentive service and good teamwork in communication, we were able to enjoy the tour smoothly without any worries. The lunch bento was made with local specialties and was very delicious. The restrooms were clean and well-maintained. The water buffalo moved slowly and leisurely, sometimes stopping for no reason or resting in the shade, which was very endearing and cute. I don't think such a flow of time exists in the city. The sound of the sanshin and gentle singing, the waves created by the water buffalo's movement, and the pleasant, clear breeze made for a lovely atmosphere. During the tour, my mother said she didn't feel any shoulder stiffness. The explanation from the glass-bottom boat guide was easy to understand and informative, making it enjoyable. The clownfish was indeed cute! The bubbles from the hot spring bubbling up from the seabed were so beautiful that I was moved. The bus driver's commentary on Iriomote Island was interesting. The mangrove cruise offered a subtropical landscape that felt very different from Japan. I'm glad I got to see it. Overall, I was very satisfied.

素晴らしい体験でした。このツアーに参加して良かった。76歳の母と私の２人での参加でしたが係員さんの対応と気配り、チームワークの良い情報伝達のおかげで何も不安に思うことなくスムーズにツアーを楽しむことができました。ランチのお弁当も島の特産物を使った料理でとても美味しかった。トイレはどこも清潔で掃除が行き届いていた。水牛さんの歩みはゆっくりのんびりで、時にはわけもなく立ち止まったり、日陰に入ると休んだりして、とても愛らしくてかわいい。都会にいるとこんな時間の流れ方はしないと思う。三線とおだやかな歌声、水牛さんの歩みによる波の音、心地よい澄んだ風。ツアー中、母は肩こりが気にならなかったと言っています。グラスボードのガイドさんの説明がわかりやすくて勉強になって楽しかった。カクレクマノミがやっぱかわいい！海底から湧き出る温泉の泡が美し過ぎて感動した。西表島のバスの運転手さんのガイドが面白かった。マングローブクルーズはとても日本とは思えない亜熱帯の景色。見ることができて良かった。全体を通して満足満足。

I wanted to see the mangroves and ride a water buffalo, so it was really great! I chose a plan that allowed me to ride both in the water and on land! I had a relaxing time and felt rejuvenated!

マングローブも見たかったし、水牛にも乗りたかったので、とても良かったです！水の中と陸の二回乗るプランにしました！のんび〜りした時間で癒されました！

I went at the end of February. It was cold and the weather was a bit rough, but I had a great time.

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi, which was nice.

Overall, it was a good tour, but if I had to mention something, it was a bit confusing when we arrived at Iriomote Island because there were other tour groups at the same time, and it was hard to tell which boat to get on.

On Taketomi Island, I did some cycling. It was only for an hour, but I was able to go to various places, and the scenery was great! I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

２月の終わりに行きました。寒くて天候もあるかったんですが
すごく楽しかったです。
西表･由布･竹富と効率よく回れてよかったです。

おおむねいツアーでしたが、あえて言うとしたら、西表島についた時に、同時間に他の観光ツアーの団体がいて、どこの船に乗ればいいかちょっとわかりずらかったことかな。

竹富島ではサイクリングやりました。１時間だけですが、いろんなところに行けて、景色もＧＯＯＤ！！
また機会があったら参加したいです。

I was looking for a tour that my mother, who is in her late 60s, could enjoy without having to walk too much. Although we could only stay one night in Ishigaki Island, I wanted to visit other nearby islands as well. I particularly wanted to go to Taketomi Island and ride the water buffalo cart, and I was pleased that there was enough time to enjoy both the water buffalo cart ride and the glass-bottom boat. The smooth transfers also helped us make the most of our limited time for sightseeing. It seemed like my mother enjoyed it too.

６０代後半の母を連れての旅行だったので、あまり歩かなくても楽しめるツアーを探していました。また石垣島へは１泊しか出来なかったですが他の離島にも行きたいと思っていました。
特に竹富島へ行って水牛車には乗りたいと思っていましたが、水牛車に乗車する時間もグラスボード等も十分楽しむことが出来るだけの時間が確保されていました。乗り継ぎがスムーズだったことも時間がない中、効率よく観光するには良かったと思います。母も楽しんでいたようです。

I went expecting only the Churaumi Aquarium, but I really enjoyed interacting with the butterflies at Ryukyu Castle. The lunch here is Okinawa soba, which is very simple. It's really great for tourists without a car to be able to explore various places.

美ら海水族館だけを期待していったのですが、
琉球城での蝶との触れ合いがとても楽しめました。
ここでいただく昼食は沖縄そばなのですが、とてもシンプルです。
色々とまわっていただけるのが車のない観光者にとってはとてもありがたいことですね。

I booked a plan that includes a water buffalo cart, considering the possibility of rain. I decided on this because there was a discount a few days prior, and they also offered to store our luggage for free. On the day of the visit, I checked in my luggage at the counter, received my ticket, and was given a paper with the instructions. It was a cloudy day with light rain, but once we arrived at Taketomi Island, the rain stopped. After a 30-minute tour on the water buffalo cart, we rented electric bicycles and explored the island for about an hour and a half. At the coast, we were able to see sea cucumbers, moray eels, and small fish from the surface of the water. It was a very beautiful island. I definitely want to go again! ♪

雨の場合も考えて水牛車付きのプランを予約しました。数日前だと割引きもあり、無料で荷物も預かってくれるというので決めました。当日は、窓口で荷物を預けチケットを貰い、手順を書いた紙を貰いました。その日は曇り空で小雨もパラついていましたが、竹富島に着くと雨は止んだので水牛車の３０分の観光の後に電動自転車を借りて１時間半余り島を回りました。海岸ではナマコ、エラブウナギ、小魚など水面から見ることができました。とても綺麗な島でした。また是非、行きたいです♪

Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the blue of the southern sea and sky. However, I was able to fully enjoy the wonders of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands.

Among them, the stories from the guides on the boat, bus, and water buffalo were very charming. Their gentle way of speaking, with phrases like "grandma" and "grandpa," and their easy-to-understand explanations made it enjoyable.

What remains in my heart are the boats cutting through the wind over the forests and rivers, the sounds of the sanshin and singing, the Okinawan lunch, the gelato we ate on the beach, and picking up star sand at Kaiji Beach—there are so many memories.

I was especially excited to see the golden chrysalis (Papilio garamas) at the butterfly garden on Yufu Island.

While cycling around Taketomi Island, we explored the beaches and townscapes, and everywhere we went, we could feel the islanders' cherished way of life and culture that they have preserved.

If I ever have time again, I would love to participate slowly once more.

　残念だったのは曇り空のため、南の海と空の青さを見ることはできませんでした。しかし、西表・由布・竹富島の素晴らしさを満喫することができました。

中でも、ボートやバス、水牛のガイドさんたちのお話がとってもチャーミングです。「おばあ」「おじい」など、優しい響きの語り口や分かりやすい説明で楽しかったです。

心に残るのは、林と川の上を風を切って走るボートや、三線の音色や歌声、沖縄料理のランチ、浜辺で食べたジェラート、カイジ浜で星の砂を拾ったことなど、いっぱいいっぱいあります。

特に由布島の蝶園でみた黄金のサナギ（オオゴマダラ）には大興奮しました。

私たちは竹富島ではサイクリングをしながらビーチや街並みを見て回りましたが、どこに行っても島人たちが大切に守ってきた島の生活や文化を感じることができました。

いつか時間が出来たら、またゆっくり参加させて頂きたいと思います。

This Tour is very comfortable and You can see the beautiful places.

I brought customers from the UK on a whirlwind tour to Ishigaki, and as a highlight, we participated in a tour of Taketomi Island. They were very pleased, and it became a wonderful memory. I especially liked that we could choose the boat according to our convenience.

イギリスからのお客様を連れて弾丸ツアーに石垣に来ました、そのハイライトとして
竹富島のツアーに参加しました、とても喜んでもらいいい思い出となりました。
自分の都合で船を選べるところが特に良かった。

This tour was very interesting! As we were without a car in Okinawa, with this tour we were able to visit most of Okinawa's famous spots especially Churaumi aquarium and had traditional Okinawan lunch for a very reasonable price, considering the fact that the normal admission fee for the aquarium is around 3000 yen. Moreover, on each stop we received small presents from the tour guide, which is very pleasing! Also there was an English audio guide so we have learned some of interesting facts about Okinawa.
Overall this tour was very good and well organized, everything on time and the tour guide and bus driver were very kind! we have brought our own stroller and the driver was taking it out and folding it back on every stop, for what we are very thankful!
I definitely recommend this tour!

I was able to smoothly explore a dream world that is completely different from my everyday life. The mangrove cruise was very cold, but everything was beautiful, from the water buffalo cart to the scenery of Yufu Island and the charming streets of Taketomi Island. The bus driver during the transfers was also very entertaining, and I was able to see a crested serpent eagle. For those who want to take their time to see each attraction, it might feel a bit rushed, but I think it's a tour that is packed with experiences that don't feel short at all.

自分が普段生活しているところと全く違った 夢の世界を、段取りよく廻らせてもらうことができました。
マングローブクルーズは非常に寒かったんですが、水牛車といい、由布島の景色といい、竹富島の可愛らしい街並みといい、全てが美しかったです。
途中移動のバスの運転手さんもとても面白かったですし、カンムリワシも見ることができました。
それぞれをゆっくり見たい人には物足りないかもしれませんが、短時間と思えないほど 満載のツアーだと思います。

It is completely commercialized, and while the cows, which were imported from Taiwan, are carefully raised and trained for tourism, I found the driver of the cow shed who honestly explained everything to be likable. Hearing about how they work together as companions while sharing meals and living together gave me a different feeling when I got off the ride.

完全に観光化されたものであり、台湾から輸入した牛を大切に育て観光用に教育したものではあるが、返って正直に説明してくださる牛舎車の運転手に好感が持て、寝食一緒に仲間として働いているという話を乗車中に聞いて下車するときには違う感情で見れた。

We are on board at the first stop and it take about two n half hour to pick up other travelers in different hotel.. we are arranged to sit at the last row of the bus.. we are feel uncomfortable even me vomit in the bus.. lucky one of my friend have a small plastic bag for me.. ask for the tour leader who doesn't know English.... can't communicate :((
Pineapples stop only allowed us to stay 45 min, not enough time to try on the food.. after that take 2.5 hours time to go back hotel..,.haiz！！

I had an unexpected long vacation due to work. Living in a cold place, I really wanted to escape to a warm location, so I chose Okinawa. Even acquaintances in Okinawa said, "That's a route we don't usually take," as it is the northernmost point. The lunch was better than I expected, but I wish I could have enjoyed the meal a bit more leisurely. One request: the audio guide through the earphones... the quality was not great? Even at the lowest volume, the sound was distorted, and I couldn't hear half of it. I think it would be good to check it once.

仕事の関係から急きょ空いた、長期休み。
寒い所に住んでる私は、とにかく‼暖かい場所へ逃げたく…沖縄を選びました。
沖縄の知人でさえ、『あまり、行かないようなコースだね』との話の…最北端。
lunchも、思っていたより良かったです…が、もう少しゆっくりお食事したかったかな。
ひとつ…お願いですが、案内の流れるイヤホーン…
質が…いまいち？　一番最低音量にしても、音がわれてしまい、半分も聞き取れなかったです。
一度確認されたらいかがかなと思います

I was satisfied that I could visit all the places I wanted to!

Since I was going to Kouri Island, I wanted to explore not just the beach but also other areas.

The audio guide was too loud, so I stopped listening halfway through...

Also, this isn't an issue with the tour company, but the person sitting behind me, who I think was Chinese, kept burping repeatedly, which was uncomfortable (laughs).

But overall, I was very satisfied with the tour! It was so much fun! Thank you very much! ✨

私的に行きたいところを全て回れて満足です！

古宇利島にせっかく行くので
ビーチだけじゃなくて
他のとこも回りたかったのと

音声ガイドの音がデカすぎて
途中聞くのやめたのと…

あとはツアー会社の問題ではないですが
後ろの席の中国人？の方が何回もゲップをしててずっと同じ席なのが苦でした(笑)

でもツアー自体は全然満足！
とっても楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました✨

On the day of our visit, although it was sunny, there were quite a few clouds until sunset, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars. However, the clouds cleared up enough for us to finally look through the telescope we had been longing for. That day, at "Haimurubushi," we were able to see Betelgeuse, Sirius, the Trapezium, and Jupiter. (From the observatory, we could also faintly see Canopus.) The starry sky tour guide at the observatory was exceptional. After showing us three stars that were already rising through the telescope, she quickly showed us "4D2U" while we waited for Jupiter to rise. She used the short time very effectively to explain the arrangement of the stars and the formation of galaxies. 4D2U is a 3D celestial map that you view with special glasses, and the guide skillfully manipulated the 3D images, rotating and zooming in on the stars while explaining them. Her storytelling was excellent, and the 3D celestial map made the structure of the galaxy and the vastness of the star world very clear, which was incredibly interesting beyond my imagination. Even if the weather had been bad and we couldn't see the stars, I think we would have been quite satisfied with just the 4D2U experience at Haimurubushi, as the star guide's explanations were clear and easy to understand. The telescope at "Haimurubushi" was large and impressive, and just being inside the dome was quite moving. We were fortunate with the weather and were able to look through the telescope, witnessing the moment when the large telescope opened its mirror, slowly changing angles with mechanical sounds, and the romantic moment when the dome ceiling opened. Observing the bright light of the stars through the telescope made me feel a sense of excitement, as if I had returned to my childhood. Although it wasn't perfectly clear that day and the clouds kept moving, I was very grateful that the star guides adapted the tour content based on the conditions of the sky. As someone from Honshu, I was unaware of the seasonal changes between dry and rainy seasons, but I learned that Ishigaki Island experiences the rainy season until around March. According to the taxi driver, January and February often have cloudy and rainy weather, making it quite rare to see a beautiful starry sky. Conversely, during the dry season in summer, there are fewer clouds and rain, so the chances of seeing the stars are much higher. We also thought it would be nice to come back in the summer. Lastly, outside of the activities, I wanted to see the Southern Cross, which the star guide had introduced, so after the tour, I went out to an open area to look for it at midnight. Unfortunately, the low part of the sky was hazy, and I couldn't find it. I definitely want to come back to Ishigaki Island to see the Southern Cross.

当日、晴れてはいるものの日暮れまでやや雲が多く、星が観られるかなー、と心配をしていましたが、なんとか雲もそこそこ晴れ念願だった天体望遠鏡を覗かせてもらうことが出来ました。この日『はいむるぶし』で見せていただけた星はベテルギウス、シリウス、トラペジウムと木星でした。(天文台からうっっすらとカノープスも見えました。)天文台の星空ツアーガイドのお姉さんの手腕が素晴らしく、この日は最初にすでに昇っている星を３つ天体望遠鏡で見せて下さったあと、木星が昇るのを待つ間に『少し駆け足で』4D2Uを見せて下さったのですが、短い時間をすごく効果的に使って星の配置や銀河の成り立ちを説明して下さいました。4D2Uというのは特殊なメガネをかけて鑑賞する3D天体図のことで、星空ガイドのお姉さんが立体映像を自在に引いたり寄せたり回転させたりしながら星々の説明をして下さいました。お話しが上手なのと天体図が立体的に飛び出して見えることで銀河の構造や星の世界の果てしなさがとてもよくわかり、想像を超えて面白かったです。もし運悪く天気が悪くて星を見ることが出来なくても、4D2Uとはいむるぶし見学だけでもかなり満足出来たのではないかと思ったほど星空ガイドさんの説明は上手でわかりやすかったですし、天体望遠鏡『はいむるぶし』は大きくてかっこよくて、ドームの中に入れただけでもかなりの感動がありました。今回は天気に恵まれ天体望遠鏡を覗かせていただけたので、大きな望遠鏡が反射鏡を開く様子や機械音をたててゆっくりと角度を変える様子、そして天井のドームが開くロマンあふれる瞬間を見ることが出来ました。天体望遠鏡を覗いてハッキリと大きく見える星の光を観察した時には子供の頃に戻ったようなワクワクを感じましたよ。この日は快晴というわけではなく、雲が動き続けていたので、星空ガイドのみなさんが空の様子を見ながら臨機応変にツアーの内容を変えて対応して下さったこともとても有り難かったです。本州の人間である自分には乾季雨季の感覚が無く盲点でしたが、石垣島は3月頃まで雨季なのだそうです。タクシーの運転手さんによると、1月2月は曇天雨天がとても多く星空が綺麗に見えることはかなり少ないそうです。逆に、乾季である夏は雨や雲が少なく、高い確率で星空を見ることが出来るのではないでしょうか。私達も今度は夏にまた来たいなあと思いました。最後にアクティビティ外の話しですが、星空ガイドさんが紹介されていた南十字星を見たくてツアー終了後の深夜 南中時刻に合わせて星の見える開けた場所まで出かけましたが、この日は空の低い位置は霞がかかっていてとうとう見つけることが出来ませんでした。南十字星を見るためにも、また石垣島に来たいと思います。

We, who cannot drive, decided to head north on this bus tour. At Ryukyu Mura, we played with some of Japan's largest butterflies, and at Nago Pineapple Park, we enjoyed rides and had fun beyond just the aquarium. Above all, being able to sleep while traveling is the best!

車を運転できない私たち、こちらのバスツアーで北部に向かうことにしました。
琉宮城は日本最大級の蝶とたわむれ、ナゴパイナップルパークはライドに乗って移動し、水族館以外も楽しめました。なにより眠っていけるのが最高です

Okinawa's Oishi Forest is particularly dangerous when it rains due to poor footing. The Churaumi Course offers plenty of rocks and beautiful scenery to enjoy. Our guide was a handsome guy with blue eyes; his Japanese was a bit hard to understand, but we managed just fine. The buffet was really delicious. Overall, it felt a bit rushed due to time constraints, but I had a great time. Since it was cloudy, I think the views would be even better on a sunny day.

大石林山は特に雨だと足元が悪く危険です。
美ら海コースで十分岩も景色も堪能できます。
ガイドさんは青い目のイケメンさんで、日本語は少しわかりにくいですが不自由はなくすごせました。
バイキングはすごくおいしかったです。
全体的に時間が足りず駆け足な感じですが、楽しかったです。
曇りだったので、晴れると景色がもっといいんだろうなと思います。

Since we stayed near the port, we took a stroll to the meeting place.

We greeted the statue of Gushiken in the port. The sea was a beautiful blue and crystal clear, allowing us to see the bottom.

Off to Taketomi! We arrived in about 30 minutes.
From the port of Taketomi, we took a bus.
First up was the water buffalo cart, gently swaying while enjoying the pleasant background music of the sanshin. The guide's stories were also very informative.
Next, we went cycling, visiting various sightseeing spots on the island and stopping by cafes along the way.
Everyone seemed to be heading back to Ishigaki Island.

I think it's a great recommendation for those visiting Taketomi for the first time!

I had never been to the northern part of Okinawa before, and this was my first time visiting the northernmost point. The bus and seats were comfortable, making for a pleasant ride. The view from Cape Hedo was amazing, and at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to catch the dolphin show at just the right time, but the two hours flew by. Overall, it was a fun tour, and I would like to visit again to enjoy a leisurely stroll.

沖縄北部にはこれまで行ったことがなく、今回初めて最北端に行きました。バスも座席も乗り心地が良く、快適でした。辺戸岬からの景色も素晴らしく、大石林山では自然の不思議さを感じ、散策で心癒されました。1時間ではすべてのコースを歩くことができず、また、改めて訪問して、ゆっくり散策を楽しみたいと思います。美ら海水族館では、イルカショーをタイミングよく見れましたが、2時間があっという間でした。全体的に楽しい時間が過ごせたツアーでした。

I participated alone, but the tour was structured in a way that allowed me to move to each boarding point with my own tickets for the boat, water buffalo, and bus, so I didn't have to worry too much about others. Each stop had a well-defined schedule, allowing for an efficient island tour! I chose the rental bicycle plan on Taketomi Island, but it was such a beautiful place that I decided to forgo the rental bicycle (there's no refund for the rental) and walked almost all the way around Taketomi Island. Each island had its own personality, and it was a lot of fun!

一人参加でしたが、ツアーは船、水牛、バス等のチケットを持って各乗り場へ自分で移動する形式でしたので他の方にあまり気を使わず参加することができました。
各滞在場所も時間がきちんと確保されて降り効率よく島巡りをすることができました！
竹富島はレンタルサイクルのプランを選択したのですが、あまりにも素敵な場所でしたので、レンタルサイクルは辞め(レンタルサイクル分の返金はありません)徒歩で竹富島をほぼ一周しました。
どの島も個性があり大変楽しかったです！

We participated with two adults and three children. I was worried about the frequent transfers, but all the connections were arranged with almost no waiting time, and I didn't feel any stress or fatigue at all.

The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was particularly popular with the kids. For the adults, it was impressive to explore the mangroves by boat on Iriomote Island.

We also chose the water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island, but if you're not worried about physical stamina, walking around might allow you to see the town more thoroughly. When we took the water buffalo cart, there was only about a 10-minute gap before the bus back to the port, so we couldn't walk around and see the town of Taketomi. I heard that walking around the village takes about 15-20 minutes.

Overall, it was a great tour that allowed us to cover the key points of the surrounding islands from Ishigaki Island in a limited time.

大人２人、子供３人で参加しました。移動が多いので心配でしたが、全ての乗換えがほぼ待ち時間無しでアレンジされており、全くストレスや疲れを感じませんでした。
特に、由布島へ行く水牛車が子供たちには好評でした。大人には、西表島でマングローブを船で見て回れたのが感動しました。
竹富島でも水牛車観光を選んだのですが、体力面で心配がなければ、歩いて回った方が町並みをしっかり見られていいかも。水牛車に乗って観光すると、帰りの港までのバスとの間隔が10分くらいしかなく、竹富島の町並みを歩いて見ることができませんでした。歩いても集落を一周15-20分くらいとのことでしたので。
全体として、限られた時間で石垣島を起点に離島をポイントをおさえて回れて、とてもいいツアーでした。

What stands out the most to me is the wonderful smile of the tour guide! They were such a nice person!

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy... I would like to join this tour again when it's sunny next time!

The reason I gave four stars is that the bus did not arrive even after the scheduled pickup time, which made me anxious, and after I paid the fee, I received an email saying the payment was not completed, which also caused me concern.

However, both of these issues were handled very politely, and seeing how they dealt with the troubles made me feel that this is a very trustworthy tour.

Thanks to this tour, I had a really great trip! I would like to use it again! Thank you!

一番心に残ってるのは添乗員さんの素敵な笑顔！とてもいい方でした！

あいにく天気は曇り…今度またこのツアーに晴れてる時に参加したい！と思っています

星４つにさせていただく理由は、ピックアップされるはずの時間過ぎてもバスが来ず不安になったのと、料金を支払いした後、料金未払いのメールが来て不安になってしまったからです。

しかし２つの不安も、とても丁寧に対処してくださり、トラブルの対処方法を見ても、更に信頼できるツアーだなと思いました

今回はこのツアーのおかげでとてもいい旅ができました！また利用させていただきたいと思っています！
ありがとうございました！

Before participating, I read everyone's reviews, so the content was as I expected. As many of you mentioned in your reviews, those who wish to visit Cape Hedo and the Great Stone Forest probably want a bit more time in this area. The Churaumi Aquarium was unnecessary, as having time to stroll along the beautiful seaside was more than enough. The lunch buffet was very delicious. I thought the guide's response and explanations were clear and concise. Thanks to this tour, my trip to Okinawa became an enjoyable experience. Thank you very much.

参加前に皆様の口コミを読ませていただいていたので
予想した内容と相違ありませんでした
口コミで皆様も述べられていますが、辺戸岬や大石林山を希望される方たちはもう少しこの辺りでの時間的余裕がほしいと思っていると思います
美ら海水族館は不要ですので綺麗な海辺の散策時間があるだけで十分でした
ランチバイキングはとてもおいしかったです
ガイドさんの対応や説明は簡潔明瞭でよかったと思います
沖縄旅行がこのツアーのおかげで楽しいものとなりました
ありがとうございました
