Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal, gather at 7:45. After completing the check-in, we watched a 5-minute video tour guide, then boarded in time for departure (08:15). We received tickets for various facilities and the ferry, and started as a group. The initial boarding time was about 45 minutes, followed by a transfer at Ohara Port. Then we enjoyed a mangrove cruise on Nakama River for about an hour (transferring at a different location) and took a 15-minute bus tour of Iriomote Island. We then switched to a water buffalo cart at Mihara to go to Yubu Island (plantation visit and lunch). We left Yubu Island at 12:25, then went from Mihara to Ohara Port (13:25), to Taketomi Port (14:10), and enjoyed a bus tour on the island (Kaiji Beach [Star Sand Beach] <get off> and Kondoi Beach <view from the bus>). After a water buffalo cart tour, we returned to Taketomi Port (16:00) and then to Ishigaki Port (16:15).
The transfers to each island were on a large ferry. The boat does sway, but since it’s not a small boat, no one experienced seasickness. However, for those concerned about seasickness, the premium seats on the second floor of the ferry (500 yen per route) are recommended.
石垣港離島ターミナル 7:45集合
受付を済ませるとビデオによるツアー案内を5分位見た後は、出航に間に合うように乗船(08:15出航)各施設や船車券を受け取りグループ毎にスタート。はじめの乗船時間は約45分~大原港案内に従って乗り換え~仲間川マングローブクルーズ約1時間(乗船場所とは異なる所で乗り換え~西表島バス観光15分程乗車~美原で水牛車に乗り換えて由布島へ(植物園見学・昼食)由布島を12時25分〜美原~大原港(13:25)~竹富港(14:10)~島内バス観光(カイジ浜〔星砂の浜〕<下車>・コンドイビーチ<車窓>)~水牛車観光~竹富港(16:00)~石垣港(16:15)
各島への移動は大型の船でした。
船は揺れますが小型船ではないので、船酔いをしている人はいませんでしたが、船酔いが心配な方は船の2階のプレミアムシート(各航路毎500円)がおすすめです。

The weather was perfect for canoeing and trekking, with clear skies and no wind, which is unusual for this time of year. Even more so, the warm attentiveness of our guide and their knowledgeable explanations about the flora and fauna made for a fulfilling day. We spent the morning being active and leisurely strolled around Yufu Island in the afternoon. I highly recommend this for anyone considering activities other than marine leisure on Iriomote Island.
天候はこの時期にしては、風もなく快晴、絶好のカヌー&トレッキング日和でした。
それにも増して、ガイドさんの温かい心配りと経験豊富な知識に基づく動植物に関する説明、午前は身体を動かし、午後は由布島をのんびり散策、充実した一日でした。
マリンレジャー以外を西表島で考えていらっしゃる方には、特にお勧めします。

Unfortunately, the weather was very rough. The bus driver on Iriomote Island and the staff on the mangrove cruise were very kind. I think it would have been a wonderful experience if it had been sunny.
On Taketomi Island, I had applied for a rental bicycle, but the person who came to pick me up was very unfriendly and had a cold attitude. I think it's better to skip the rental bicycle.

The water buffalo cart crossing the sea to Yubu Island was absolutely wonderful, and the water buffalo cart course on Taketomi Island, where bougainvillea blooms, was very soothing. The leisurely water buffalo made me feel warm and fuzzy. There are still many places on Taketomi Island that I haven't seen, and I feel a bit regretful about that. I already want to live there. Next time, I want to visit Yonaguni Island as well. I want to go again! ^_^

I participated in a mangrove canoe tour!
I was worried about the cold since it was said to be the coldest day of the year, but once I joined, the water was cold but not freezing.
I was also concerned about whether I could paddle the canoe, but once I got on, it was smooth sailing!
Throughout the journey and during the tour, we talked a lot about the island, nature, and food, so even though I was there alone, I had a great time.
Since I came to Iriomote Island knowing almost nothing about it, I learned a lot and my appreciation for the scenery changed.
I think if I come back in the summer and join the same tour, I might see a different view, so I want to come again!
マングローブカヌーツアーに参加しました!
今年1番の寒さということで寒さが不安でしたが、参加してみると水は冷たかったですが、凍えるほどではなかったです。
カヌーも乗れるか心配でしたが、乗ってしまえばスムーズに乗れました!
移動中からツアー中まで、島のこと、自然のこと、食事のことなど、たくさん話をして頂いたので1人参加でしたが、楽しく過ごすことができました。
また西表島のことをほとんど知らない状態で来たので、いろいろ教えてもらって景色の楽しみ方が変わりました。
また夏にきて同じツアーに参加したら違う景色が見れるのかなと思うので、また来たいです!

After checking in at the remote island terminal, I just had to follow the local staff's instructions at each destination, like "get on that boat" and "take that bus," which made things easy and relaxed. I was considering exploring on my own, but I was glad I joined the tour because of its efficiency.
Seeing the uniquely shaped mangrove trees up close and riding a water buffalo with gentle eyes but great strength were wonderful memories unique to Okinawa.
However, although the morning tour included a bento box, I had a feeling it wouldn't suit my taste, and unfortunately, it didn't. I wish there had been an option for a plan without a bento box so I could stay longer on Yubu Island.
離島ターミナルで受付をしたら、あとは行く先々で現地の係の人があのボート乗って、次はあのバス乗ってと指示してくれるので流れに身を任せるのみで気が楽でした。個人でまわろうかとも思っていましたが、あまりの効率のよさにツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
おもしろい形のマングローブの木を間近で見れたこと、優しい目をしてるけどとても力持ちの水牛に乗ったこと、沖縄ならではのいい思い出です。
ただ、午前発でお弁当が付いていまたしたが、なんとなく想像はしてましたが個人的には口に合わず…。由布島に長く滞在できるプランでお弁当なしが選べたらよかったのにな、と思います。

I usually travel without tours, but it was great to efficiently see the highlights. My elderly mother, who has trouble with her legs, was with me, and by the time we arrived at Taketomi Island, she seemed to be quite exhausted from all the activities.

I wasn't looking forward to the trip too much because the man I spoke to at Dream Tourism was quite unpleasant, but I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island, which we visited along the way. Although there wasn't a guide accompanying us the whole time, there were local guides on each island who provided interesting explanations. The tranquility of the Nakama River cruise, the vast jungle-like nature, and the cool breeze made me feel grateful for choosing December for this trip.
The water buffalo on Yubu Island was adorable, and while the lunch on Yubu Island wasn't particularly delicious, the variety of souvenirs available was impressive. Although there were fewer options than at the airport, I was glad to have purchased some items here.
The tour also conveniently drops you off at Ishigaki Island, making it very convenient for those staying there. It's an efficient tour that takes you to places worth seeing, and I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.
ドリーム観光さんは、問い合わせ時の男性が非常に感じが悪かったのもあり、あまり楽しみにしておりませんでしたが、西表島と由布島、経由で降りた竹富島は、それぞれに魅力があり最高でした。付ききっりの添乗員さんはおりませんが、各島に案内人の方がいて、説明も面白く、仲間川のクルーズ静けさとジャングルのような広大な自然が目に入り、涼しい風が吹き、12月を選びよかったと思えるほど気持ちがよかったです。
由布島の水牛さんも可愛く、由布島のランチは美味しくはないですが、お土産の種類が豊富で空港よりは数が少ないですが、ここで購入して良かったと思えるお店でした。
石垣島も経由で降ろしてくれるので、石垣島泊の方にはとても便利です。
効率よく、見どころなある場所を巡ることができるツアーでとてもおすすめです。
有難うございました。

I was really looking forward to my first night tour on Iriomote Island. Canoeing was a first-time experience for me, but I felt safe and enjoyed it thanks to the thorough instructions and supervision provided. I was satisfied to see many stars and bioluminescent plankton that I can't see in the city. The guide was very knowledgeable about stars and constellations and provided a lot of explanations. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the Milky Way because the moon was bright. The guide informed us of the time the moon would set that day and suggested that we stay up late to look at the night sky. So, I went to the beach in the middle of the night. Although the Milky Way was hidden behind thin clouds, the sight of the orange moon setting was very beautiful. I would like to join this tour again during the new moon to see the Milky Way.
初めての西表島でのナイトツアーなのでとても楽しみにしていました。
カヌーは初体験でしたがしっかりレクチャーと見守りをしていただいたので安心して楽しむことができました。
都会では見ることのない沢山の星と青く光る夜光虫を見ることができ満足できました。
ガイドの方が星や星座にとても詳しく沢山解説をしてくださいました。
ただ、月が明るかったので天の川を見ることができなかったことを残念に思っていたところ、その日の月の没む時刻を教えてくださり、頑張って夜更かしをして夜空を見上げてみたらどうですか?と提案してくださいましたので、夜中に海岸へ行ってみました。
天の川は薄雲に隠れて見えませんでしたが、オレンジ色に輝く月が没んでいくところがとても綺麗でした。

At the meeting point at the remote island terminal, we received an explanation from the tour company, were handed an itinerary and ticket set, and instructed to place a sticker indicating the tour on our chests. I was a bit anxious about being able to act on just this explanation, but there were staff members at key points to confirm things, so I was able to navigate without getting lost. The mangrove tour in Iriomote Island was enjoyable, with the guide's explanations being easy to understand, so I recommend doing the mangrove sightseeing with a guide! In the afternoon, we swayed on a water buffalo cart while listening to a sanshin performance on Yubu Island. For lunch, we had local dishes like mimiga with shikwasa flavor and umukujii, which were delicious. Taking photos and feeding the water buffalo idol, Louis, was also fun. If I had to point out a downside of this tour, it would be that the free time on Yubu Island was short. Other than that, I was very satisfied!
集合場所の離島ターミナルでツアー会社から説明を受け、旅程表とチケットのセットを渡され、胸部にツアーと分かるシールを貼るように言われました。これだけの説明で行動できるか不安でしたが、要所要所で確認の係の人がいて、迷わず行けました。西表島のマングローブツアーは、ガイドさんの説明が分かりやすくて楽しめたので、マングローブ観光は説明付きをおすすめします!午後は、三線の弾き語りで水牛車に揺られながら由布島へ。昼食は、ミミガーのシークヮーサー風味やウムクジーなど、郷土料理も入っており、美味しかったです。水牛アイドルのルイくんとの写真撮影や餌やり体験も楽しかったです。このツアーの残念ポイントを挙げるなら、由布島での自由時間が短かったこと。あとは大満足でした!

I had the chance to meet many birds at Nakama River and enjoyed a relaxing cruise while viewing the mangroves. The water buffalo cart was interesting because each water buffalo had its own personality. The time spent walking slowly, making splashing sounds with each step, became one of my cherished memories.
仲間川ではたくさんの鳥たちに出会えて、マングローブを見ながらのんびりクルーズを楽しめました。水牛車では水牛によって個性があって面白かったです。歩くたび水をぴちゃぴちゃ音を立てながらゆっくり歩くちょっとした時間もとっておきの思い出の一つになりました。

Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island can all be visited in one day, making for a very fulfilling plan!
- Iriomote Island: I enjoyed a mangrove cruise while listening to our guide's stories, which felt like a real jungle adventure. We stopped to learn about the names of the mangroves and the purple heron, allowing us to fully appreciate Iriomote Island.
- Yubu Island: We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo through shallow waters, which was a rare experience to interact closely with the buffalo during our free exploration of the island! The lunch included in the plan allowed us to taste local Okinawan ingredients, and later, I personally enjoyed gelato (island banana and milk) at a café that was quite delicious.
- Taketomi Island: We took a bus to Kaiji Beach, famous for its star sand, where we searched for star sand and enjoyed the scenery, fully experiencing Taketomi Island. After that, although it was from the car window, we could view Kondoi Beach and take a round trip while riding a water buffalo through the town, making for a very fulfilling plan.
One point to note is that there is very little free time, so those who want to explore Taketomi Island freely may feel a bit rushed. However, since you can visit all three islands in one day, I highly recommend this for anyone looking to island hop!
西表島、由布島、竹富島を1日で回れ、かなり充実したプランでした!
・西表島:ガイドさんのお話を聞きながらマングローブクルーズを堪能でき、リアルジャングルクルーズを体験しているようで楽しかったです。マングローブの名前やムラサキサギなど、その場で止まって紹介していただけ、じっくり見ながら西表島を満喫できました。
・由布島:浅瀬の中を水牛に乗って由布島へ渡り、由布島の自由散策で水牛と間近で触れ合う貴重な体験が出来ました!プランについてる昼食では沖縄の食材を味わうことができ、その後の残りの時間で個人的に行ったカフェのジェラート(島バナナ•ミルク)がかなり美味しかったです。
・竹富島:星の砂で有名なカイジ浜にバスに乗って移動し、星の砂を探したり、景色を見たり竹富島を満喫できました。その後、車窓からではありますが、コンドイビーチを眺めたり、水牛にのって街並みを観ながら周辺を一周できるのでかなり充実したプランでした。
一点、自由時間がほとんどないため、竹富島で自由散策をしたい方は少し時間が足りないと感じるかもしれませんが、3つの島を1日で回れるので島巡りしたい方にかなりおすすめです!

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, so I wasn't sure what to do, and I joined a day tour that included Iriomote Island and Yubu Island.
When we arrived at Iriomote Island and transferred to a bus, the driver provided a lot of explanations about the island, which helped me understand more and made the sightseeing more enjoyable. On Yubu Island, which we crossed by water buffalo cart, there was a lush subtropical botanical paradise. It felt like being in another country. There were flowers and various types of plants that can only be seen in Okinawa.
You can also experience a butterfly garden and a pond with many water buffalo, as well as interact with them. Although I didn't have high expectations for lunch, it was a delicious meal with generous portions, allowing us to enjoy Okinawan cuisine.
The final mangrove cruise was a relaxing way to view the mangrove forest from the boat, and the guide provided explanations about the ecology of the mangroves, the plants, and the creatures, making it an informative experience.
This trip was not just about enjoying the scenery; I was able to learn various information while having fun, which made me very satisfied. If it's your first time in Ishigaki Island and you're feeling lost or want to have a more enjoyable trip, I highly recommend participating in this tour.
石垣島旅行は初めてなので分からなくて西表・由布島めぐり日帰りツアーに参加しました。
西表島に着いてバスに乗り換えて移動する時に、運転手さんが島についてよく説明してくれていろいろ分かるようになったし、より楽しく観光ができました。
水牛車に乗って渡った由布島では自然豊かな亜熱帯植物楽園がありました。
海外に来たような雰囲気でした。
沖縄でしか見られない花やいろんな種類の植物があります。
蝶々園とたくさんの水牛がいる池、水牛ふれあい体験までできます。
昼食も付いてて大した期待はありませんでしたが、ボリュームもあって沖縄料理を楽しめるおいしい食事でした。
最後のマングローブ遊覧はマングローブ林をのんびり船から見学ができ、ガイドさんがマングローブの生態や植物、生き物について解説しながら案内してくれて学びの多い時間でした。
景色だけを楽しむ旅行ではなく、様々な情報も一緒に学びながら楽しむことができて、その点にとても満足しました。
石垣島が初めてで迷っていたり、もっと楽しい旅行をしたい方はぜひ参加してほしいです

Thank you very much for participating in the tour with Iriomote Island ADVENTURE PiPi.
We were able to see many creatures unique to the night, such as coconut crabs and purple land hermit crabs! It was a very enjoyable night tour for me as well, being able to search for creatures together with our guests.
Iriomote Island still has many more fascinating creatures and natural attractions, so please come back to Iriomote again!
All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
