All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I traveled between Yubu Island and Iriomote Island and rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo were adorable and it was the best experience.

Also, while moving around Iriomote Island by bus, the driver was entertaining and had a clear voice, making it a great experience as well.

由布島と西表島の間の移動と竹富島内で水牛車に乗りました。水牛も可愛らしく最高でした。
また西表島内はバスでの移動でしたが、その際の運転手の方が話も面白く声も聞きやすく最高でした。

The weather was nice, and the mangrove tour and water buffalo cart experience became great memories. I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, but I felt a bit unsatisfied.

天気も良くマングローブ遊覧、水牛車体験と良い思い出になりました。竹富島はレンタサイクルを借りましたが、少し物足りなさを感じました。

Although we couldn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island due to strong winds, the alternative option of canyoning was a lot of fun! There was certainly some fear when jumping in, but I was able to enjoy it while chatting and laughing with the guides and other participants! The mangroves were filled with the scent of nature, providing an extraordinary experience that became an unforgettable memory. One request I would appreciate is if those going to Yufu Island in the afternoon could be transported in a separate vehicle from those doing canyoning, as this would eliminate the waiting time for the shower for those heading to Yufu Island.

強風でバラス島でのシュノーケルは叶いませんでしたが、代替案のキャニオニングがとても楽しかったです！飛び込む時の怖さはもちろんありましたが、ガイドさんや参加者の方々とわいわいしながらでしたので楽しむことができました！マングローブの中は自然の匂いでいっぱいで非日常体験をすることができ、一生忘れられない思い出となりました。ひとつお願いできれば嬉しいのは、午後に由布島へ行く方とキャニオニングをする方で別の車で行動させていただけると由布島に行く方のシャワーを待つ時間がなくなるのでありがたいです。

When I applied, I was expecting a sky full of stars, but on the day of the event, it was cloudy and I couldn't see any stars, so it turned into a jungle exploration. I ventured into unmarked areas, and as a man over 60, I returned to my childhood, immersing myself in searching for creatures in tree holes and grass. I was delighted to encounter a natural monument, the coconut crab, which I will probably never see again in my lifetime.

申し込んだ時は満天の星空を期待したが、当日は曇り星はまったくみれずジャングル探検となった
道なきところへ潜り込み60過ぎたオッさんが童心に戻り木の穴や草むらを無心に生き物探しに没頭した。もう一生見ることのない天然記念物のヤシガニなどに出会え楽しかった。

It was a night tour in the light rain, but it felt like a treasure hunt and was very enjoyable. The guide's deep care for the creatures really came through, and it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the starry sky, but it was a valuable experience. Thank you!

小雨の降るなかのナイトツアーでしたが、宝探しをしているようでとても楽しかったです。ガイドさんの生き物を大事に思っている気待ちが凄く伝わってきて、ホッコリした気分になりました。
残念ながら、星空は見えませんでしたが貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
ありがとうございます

I was a bit worried about seeing wildlife during the winter participation, but the result was very satisfying! The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks to their introduction of easy-to-find points in the darkness of the night, we were able to spot many creatures.

During the transportation, we enjoyed lively conversations about the island, feeling a warm hospitality that went beyond just an observation tour. This is truly a recommended tour that allows you to rediscover the charm of Iriomote Island in winter. Thank you for a wonderful night, guide!

冬の参加ということで、生き物が見られるか少し心配していましたが、結果は大満足でした！ガイドさんがとてもフレンドリーで知識が豊富。夜の暗闇の中、見つけやすいポイントを紹介していただけたおかげでいくつも生き物を見つけることができました。

送迎中も島のお話で盛り上がり、ただの観察ツアー以上の温かいおもてなしを感じました。冬の西表島の魅力を再発見できる、本当におすすめのツアーです。ガイドさん、素敵な夜をありがとうございました！

I went to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The buffaloes were so cute. On the way there, an older man played the shamisen and sang, and on the way back, a woman did the same. Taketomi Island was free to explore. I rode an electric assist bicycle and enjoyed the view of the sea. We went to a café and had lychee juice and guava juice. The café was run by a French woman. I took pictures with the buffaloes on Yubu Island, and I got some really nice photos. On Iriomote Island, we saw a lot of mangroves from a cruise ship.

水牛車で由布島に行きました。牛さんが可愛いね。行きはおじさん、帰りは女性が三味線と歌を聴きました。竹富島はフリーでした。電動アシスト自転車に乗り海を見ました。カフェに行き、ライチジュースとグアバジュースを飲みました。カフェはフランス🇫🇷人の奥様がいましたね。由布島で牛さんと写真撮りました。とても良い写真が撮れました。西表島はクルーズ船でマングローブを沢山見ました。

It was a tour that allowed us to fully experience the night in Iriomote Island. We gathered at Uehara Port, and it was a relief to be taken to our destination by car without any worries. The darkness unique to the coastline of Iriomote Island was present, and although it was cloudy, the stars were beautifully visible. The guide's jungle experience was overwhelming, and they provided detailed information about the photogenic plants and animals. We were able to observe coconut crabs, frogs, and glowing scorpions in the jungle, and all the participants were very excited. It was an experience that you can't normally have, making it a tour where we could feel the extraordinary.

西表島の夜をまるごと味わえるツアーでした。上原港に集合で不安なく目的地まで車で連れて行っていただき助かりました。西表島の海岸ならではの暗さで、曇っていましたが星も綺麗に見えました。ガイドさんのジャングル体験は圧感で、写真映えする動植物達に関しても詳しく教えてくれました。ジャングルの中でヤシガニやカエル、光るサソリなどを観察でき、参加者は皆んな大興奮していました。普段は体験できない体験がそこにはあり、非日常を感じられるツアーとなりました。

I had an amazing experience at both Yufuin Island and the mangroves (canoeing)! At Yufuin Island, I was able to enjoy the unique atmosphere that you can't find in the city while being gently rocked by the water buffalo in a relaxed setting. The mangroves offered a sense of adventure in nature that was truly enjoyable! I was a bit anxious about operating the canoe, but the staff provided such careful support that I had no problems at all. The staff members were consistently very kind, and I am grateful for that. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is unsure!

由布島とマングローブ（カヌー）、どちらも最高の体験をすることができました！
由布島には水牛に揺られ、ゆったりとした時間の中で都会には無い空気を味わうことができました。
マングローブでは、大自然の冒険感覚で堪能できました！
カヌーの操作は不安でしたが、とても丁寧にサポートいただき全く問題ありませんでした。
スタッフの方々は終始とても親切で感謝です。
迷っとる方にはぜひおすすめしたいツアーでした！

It was my first time canoeing, and I was initially anxious, but I was able to enjoy canoeing safely. I was relieved that I didn't capsize, haha.

Although it was cloudy, the mangroves were enchanting, and I was able to fully enjoy nature! I would love to experience mangrove canoeing again when it's sunny!

初めてのカヌーで、最初は不安でしたが、安全にカヌーを楽しむことができました。転覆しなくてホッとしました笑
曇ってはいましたが、マングローブは幻想的で、自然を満喫することができました！
また晴れているときにもマングローブカヌーを楽しみたいと思いました！

When I consulted over the phone about things I didn't understand, they kindly explained everything to me. I was very grateful. On the day of the canoe experience, they kept the atmosphere lively and I had a great time 😆 The view of the mangroves was mystical and I felt a sense of power! They also helped by recommending delicious local restaurants from a local perspective, which was very helpful 😋 I definitely want to introduce this to my other friends! Thank you very much!

わからないことを電話で相談した際、丁寧に教えてくださいました。とてもありがたかったです。当日もカヌー体験でワイワイ盛り上げていただきながら、楽しく過ごすことができました😆マングローブの景色が神秘的でパワーを感じました！地元の方目線で近くの美味しいお店も教えてくれたので助かりました😋是非他の友達にも紹介したいと思います！ありがとうございました！

I participated with a friend. I was grateful for the pick-up and drop-off from the port. Since there were three of us, I was a bit nervous about the possibility of capsizing, but thanks to the thorough orientation, I felt safe while paddling. It was a great refreshment to leisurely row through the greenery of the mangroves!

The guide shared recommendations for lunch and provided information about the island, which made me like the island a little more. It had been a while since I last went canoeing, but I had a lot of fun and I would love to come back again!

友人と参加しました。港からの送り迎えもありがたかったです。
3名乗りの場合、転倒のおそれもあるということで緊張しながら乗りましたが、オリエンテーションでしっかり教えてもらえたおかげで安心して乗れました。ゆったりとオールを漕いで、マングローブの緑の中を抜けていく、良いリフレッシュができました！
ガイドの方にはおすすめのランチをはじめ、島の情報を教えてもらい、島のことが少し好きになりました。久しぶりのカヌーでしたが、とっても楽しむことができ、また来たいなと思いました！！

I participated in a mangrove canoe tour with five other men. We traveled from the longest river in Okinawa deep into the mangroves, enjoying the magnificent nature and refreshing negative ions. We joined the tour in the morning, and the weather was cloudy with light rain, which made it cool and comfortable—perfect conditions. Our guide was friendly and reliable, and he had an interesting way of talking. He also recommended some great restaurants at the end, making it a very satisfying experience.

男6人旅でマングローブカヌーツアーに参加しました。沖縄で一番長い川からマングローブの奥地まで進み、壮大な自然と心地よいマイナスイオンを満喫できました。午前中に参加しましたが、曇り〜小雨という天候も涼しく快適で、最高のコンディションでした。ガイドさんは気さくで頼りになり、トークも面白く、最後におすすめの飲食店も教えてくれて大満足の体験でした。

I participated in an island-hopping tour from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island.

On Iriomote Island, the bus ride was enjoyable thanks to the fun island guide provided by the bus driver. We took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, where I strolled around and felt my heart healed by the relaxing nature.

During the mangrove cruise, we happened to catch the beginning of low tide, allowing us to see the mangroves in their natural state, which was very nice. On Taketomi Island, I explored the village and was moved by the feeling of Okinawa.

石垣島から西表島、由布島、竹富島への離島巡りに参加しました
西表島でのバス移動は、ばすのドライバーの楽しい島の案内、水牛車に乗って由布島へ、由布島での散策は、のんびり自然とに触れて心が癒されました。
マングローブ遊覧では、丁度干潮が始まり、マングローブの本来の姿を観ることができ、とても良かったです。竹富島では、集落をみて、沖縄を感じ感動したした。

Although it was unfortunate that we couldn't enjoy stargazing due to the cloudy sky, we had a great time on the night tour.

Since it was winter, there were fewer creatures, but it was a wonderful experience to explore the jungle together with other guests from the same tour. Whenever someone found a creature, we all shared in the excitement. The guide was also very engaging, providing various explanations while clearly enjoying the experience himself, which left a great impression.

I was starting to lose hope since we didn't encounter many creatures during the exploration, but we were able to take pictures with a very friendly coconut crab that appeared on the road at the end, making it a great tour overall.

If I have the chance again, I would like to participate during a time when more creatures are active and enjoy stargazing as well.

曇り空で残念ながら星空観賞はできなかったものの、ナイトツアーを充分楽しめました。

冬のため生き物の数は少なかったですが、同じツアーに参加されていた他のお客様と一緒に誰かが生き物を見つけたら全員で共有して楽しみながらジャングルを探索できていい経験になりました。
ガイドさんも色々な解説をしつつ自身も楽しまれており非常に印象がよかったです。
探索中出会えなかったので諦めかけていましたが、最後に道路に現れてくれたサービス精神旺盛なヤシガニとも写真撮影ができ、全体としていいツアーでした。

また機会があればもう少し生き物の活動が活発な時期に参加し、星空観賞も楽しみたいです。

It was an efficiently packed tour for the whole day. The photo is a commemorative shot with a water buffalo on Taketomi Island. It became a wonderful memory.

1日盛りだくさんのツアーで効率的に回れました。写真は竹富島での水牛さんとの記念撮影。良い思い出となりました。

My first time in Iriomote Island. I really wanted to see the Pinaisara Falls, so I found this tour to join. Since it was February, a quiet season, and I was traveling alone, I faced the issue of not being able to find many shops willing to accept me due to the minimum number of participants. I went through several days of searching, applying, and getting rejected until I found this shop that accepted me. They communicated well in advance, providing detailed information about which boat to take and what to do in case of delays, which made me feel grateful, trusting, and reassured as the day approached.

First of all, the shop was incredibly cute. It was a place where I wanted to take lots of pictures before heading to the destination. I was a bit anxious about what to prepare, but they provided waterproof backpacks and shoes for the canoeing and trekking, so there was nothing extra I needed to buy. The scenery was truly beautiful, so I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof case for your smartphone or a camera.

The instructors were all friendly and had personalities that made it easy to get along with them, creating a fun atmosphere from the start. On the way to the destination, the experienced and knowledgeable instructors guided us, and I was constantly amazed, saying things like "Wow!" and "That's amazing!" The time spent at the waterfall was ample, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience.

I believe even those who are not confident in their physical strength can participate with peace of mind. There were various plans available beyond this activity, so I would definitely like to request this shop again next time. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

初めての西表島。
どうしてもピナイサーラの滝が観たくて見つけた今回の参加でした。
2月の閑散期でもあり、1人旅でもありましたので催行人数の関係でなかなか受け入れてくださるショップさんが無い・・という問題にまず直面し検索→とりあえず申し込む→断られる。をしまくるという数日が続き、今回受け入れてくださったのがこちらのショップさんでした。事前のご連絡もしっかりやりとりしてくださり、何時の船に乗船するのか、もし遅れてしまった場合など丁寧に案内していただけたので、もうこの時点で感謝と信頼と安心感で当日を迎えられました。
まずはショップがものすごく可愛い。
目的地に向かう前にショップ内を沢山撮影したくなる場所でした。
持ち物は何を準備したらいいんだろうという不安もありましたが、現地では防水のリュックや現地に向かうまでのカヌーやトレッキングに使うシューズも貸してくださるので、別途買ってまで用意するものは無く、とにかく景色が本当に綺麗なので、スマホの防水ケースやカメラなどは絶対あったほうが良いと思います。
イントラさんは皆さん気さくで、すぐに仲良くなれるお人柄な方しかおらず楽しい雰囲気を最初から感じさせてくれます。
目的地に向かう道中も経験豊富、知識豊富なイントラさんが沢山ガイドしてくださるので、とにかく常に「わー♪」とか「すごーい♪」と感動しっぱなしでした。
滝の場所でも十分に時間をとってくださるので、終始しっかり楽しむことができました。
体力に自信の無い方でも安心して参加できるのではと思います。
今回のアクティビティ以外にも様々なプランがあったので、次回もぜひこちらのショップさんでお願いしたいと思います。
素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

On the day of our trip, due to weather conditions, the planned SUP and landing on Barasu Island were canceled. However, we appreciated the flexible response that allowed us to choose canyoning and canoeing as alternatives. We opted for canyoning, and since we were the only participants, it turned into a private tour by chance, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any worries. The progression of the tour was smooth, and it was impressive that we were able to go all the way down to the boundary between the river and the sea. The transportation to the port was convenient, and the guide helped us arrange tickets for Yufu Island and the water buffalo cart, which was a great help. We were initially concerned about the weather, but thanks to the adaptable suggestions, we had a fulfilling sightseeing experience and were very satisfied with the day.

当日は天候の影響で、西表島で予定していたSUPとバラス島上陸が中止となりましたが、代替としてキャニオニングとカヌーを選べる柔軟な対応があり安心できました。私たちはキャニオニングを選択。参加者が私たちだけで偶然プライベートツアーのようになり、気を遣わず思いきり楽しめました。進行もスムーズで、川と海の境目まで下らせてもらえたのが印象的です。港までの送迎付きで移動も楽、由布島や水牛車のチケット手配もガイドさんがまとめて行ってくれて助かりました。天候を心配していましたが、臨機応変な提案のおかげで充実した観光ができ、大満足の一日でした。

The mangrove kayaking was amazing for the first time!!

Thanks to Kokkō-san's wonderful guidance, I had a great time!!

I felt so relaxed!!

初めてのマングローブカヤック最高でした！！

こっこーさんの素敵なアテンドで、楽しめました！！

癒されました！！

The starry night tour on Iriomote Island was an enchanting experience that made me forget about everyday life. The nights on the island, with almost no streetlights, are darker than I imagined, which makes the brilliance of the stars in the sky stand out even more.

As I gradually got used to the darkness with the guidance of our tour guide, countless stars that I initially didn't notice began to emerge one after another.

西表島の星空ナイトツアーは、日常を忘れるほど幻想的な体験でした。街灯がほとんどない島の夜は想像以上に暗く、そのぶん空いっぱいに広がる星の輝きが際立って見えます。

ガイドの方の案内で少しずつ目が暗さに慣れてくると、最初は気づかなかった無数の星が次々と浮かび上がってきました。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. The islands had their own unique characteristics, and the rural feel was also very appealing.

It would be amazing to see the Iriomote cat.

天気に恵まれてとても楽しかったです
その島々の特徴があり田舎感がまた魅力がありました


イリオモテヤマネコが見れたら最高です

The beaches of Taketomi Island are so beautiful that they seem unreal. The bus guide on Iriomote Island was interesting and great!

竹富島のビーチがこの世のものとは思えないほどキレイ。西表島のバスガイドさん、話が面白く良かったです！

It was February, but we had the best temperature and enjoyed a relaxing mangrove canoe tour! The staff were kind, and we were able to enjoy it at our own pace, which was great! We made some wonderful memories, thank you very much! ^_^

2月でしたが最高の気温で、穏やかなマングローブカヌーツアーができました！スタッフさんも優しく、自分達のペースで楽しむことが出来たので良かったです！とても楽しい思い出が出来ました、ありがとうございました^_^

It was very nice to cross to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart. The water buffalo were cute, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was a bit disappointing that there were few flowers since it wasn't the season for them, but I was able to take my time exploring places like the butterfly house. I think it would have been even better if I could have done some sightseeing on Iriomote Island as well.

水牛車で由布島へ渡るのがとても良かったです。
水牛も可愛いし、説明も分かりやすかったです。
由布島も季節ではなかったので花が少なかったのは残念でしたが、蝶々のハウスなどゆっくり見学する事が出来ました。
西表島の観光もできればもっとよかったと思いました。

We were able to efficiently visit three islands, and the explanations made it a fulfilling day. The water buffalo was also working hard, and I felt like cheering for it. Keep it up!

手際よく3島巡れて説明もしてくれて充実した一日でした
水牛も頑張ってて応援したくなります
がんばってー

The tour to Barasu Island was canceled due to the sea weather, but in the morning, I went to Yufu Island. There was a brief moment of sunshine, and while riding the water buffalo, the sun reflected off the waves, creating a beautiful scene. There were also places where we could take pictures with the water buffalo, and I enjoyed looking at the blooming flowers and walking along the beach. A quick stroll around Yufu Island allowed me to see everything within the time limit. It was just perfect for a leisurely walk.

In the afternoon, the mangrove canoeing was quite an adventure! The river leading into the mangrove forest had surprisingly strong winds (I think this was due to the weather on that day, haha). Once we entered the mangroves, it felt mystical; it was definitely worth the visit. On the way back, everyone from the tour worked together to cross the river (a collaborative effort right at the start of the new year).

It was a tour where I could feel the power and grandeur of nature. Overall, I had a great time!

海の天候でバラス島のツアーはキャンセルになったのですが、午前中に由布島行きに、晴れ間も一瞬広がって水牛に乗ってる間波に太陽が反射してとてもきれいでした。水牛と写真撮ってもらえるところもあり、咲いてる花をみたり浜辺歩いたり、由布島内散策もさーっと回れば時間内に全て見れました。あさんぽにちょうどよかったです。
午後からマングローブカヌーはもうアドベンチャー笑　マングローブ林に入るまでの川がびっくりするくらいの強風（これは天気の問題でこの日はこうだったんだと思います笑）
マングローブに入ると神秘的、これは行く価値ありです。帰りはツアー参加のみんなで力を合わせて川横断（新年早々の共同作業）
自然のパワーと壮大さを感じれたツアーでした。結果、とても楽しかったです♪

The night tour on Iriomote Island was an experience that exceeded my expectations. The sky over the Yaeyama Islands, a designated starry sky preservation area, was filled with countless stars, and the Milky Way was clearly visible, which was truly moving. Spending time gazing at the stars while listening to the guide's explanations was a real luxury.

In the forest, I encountered a large coconut crab, which was incredibly exciting. The banana trees illuminated by the moonlight and the coral reefs washed up on the beach were also enchanting, allowing me to fully enjoy the nighttime charm of Iriomote Island.

西表島のナイトツアーは想像以上にワクワクする体験でした。星空保護区の八重山の空には無数の星が広がり、天の川もはっきり見えて感動。ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら星を眺める時間は本当に贅沢でした。

森の中では大きなヤシガニに遭遇して大興奮。月明かりに照らされたバナナの木や、浜辺に漂着した珊瑚礁も幻想的で、西表島の夜の魅力をたっぷり味わえました。

The temperature was low, and the wind was strong, making it a rough day for canoeing. Because of the bad weather, I had an unforgettable canoeing experience as I navigated through the mangroves, encountering various unexpected events along the way.

気温が低い上に風が強く、大時化でのカヌーでした。
天候が悪かったからこそ、ハプニングに見舞われながらマングローブをカヌーで巡る体験ができたので、一生忘れられないカヌー体験となりました。

It was cloudy, so we couldn't see the starry sky, but we encountered many creatures. Fortunately, we were able to see a wild coconut crab.

曇りだったため星空は見えませんでしたが、たくさんの生き物に出会えました。幸運なことに野生のヤシガニを見られました。

The mangroves of Iriomote Island and the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island were amazing. The water buffalo cart ride, in particular, was a wonderful experience. The bus driver's stories while we traveled from place to place were also enjoyable.

On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle for free and explored the area. While it's possible to walk around, I recommend biking since time is limited in the afternoon. This tour, which doesn't waste any time, comes highly recommended.

西表島のマングローブ、由布島への水牛車、最高でした。
特に水牛車は素敵な時間でした。
場所場所を回るバスの運転手さんのお話も楽しかったです。
竹富島では、フリーで自転車を借りて回りました。徒歩でも回れますが午後からの限られた時間ですので自転車がおすすめです。
無駄な時間を取られることないこのツアーはおすすめです。
