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。

Under the wonderful guidance of Mr. Bandi, we had an amazing time seeing four coconut crabs, two habu snakes, and even a purple land hermit crab! It was a great memory to gather around the purple land hermit crab and cheer it on as it returned to its shell. We also got to see the Geminid meteor shower, and the wild cat drive was fantastic... I would definitely like to request your services again when I visit Iriomote Island! Thank you very much!
バンディさんの素敵なガイドのもと、ヤシガニ4匹、ハブ2匹、さらにムラサキオオヤドカリまで見られてめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!
参加者のみなさんでムラサキオカヤドカリを囲んで、殻に戻っていくのを応援したのは良い思い出です。
ふたご座流星群も見られたし、ヤマネコドライブも最高でした…
また西表島に遊びにきた際はぜひお願いしたいです!ありがとうございました!

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. It would have been even more satisfying if we had taken it a bit easier without cramming too much in.
普段はツアーとは無縁な旅をするのですが、
効率よく見どころを観光できて良かったです。

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。

You can efficiently tour Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands. The lunch on Yufu Island exceeded my expectations with delicious local food. During the free time on Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle from a rental shop that came to pick us up at the port and visited the sightseeing spots. I highly recommend this course.
効率よく、西表-由布-竹富島を観光できます。由由布島での昼食は期待以上の地元食で美味しい。竹富島でのフリー時間は港に迎えに来ているレンタサイクル店でレンタサイクルを借り、観光名所をまわりました。このコースおすすめです。

I signed up for a day trip to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, which I had never visited before. I was efficiently guided by boat and bus, making for a fulfilling day. Initially, I considered renting a car, but since I was traveling alone, I appreciated not having to deal with the fatigue of driving, and I found the bus trip surprisingly enjoyable. In particular, deepening my knowledge of mangroves and the experience of the water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island was invaluable.
これまで行ったことがなかった西表島・由布島・竹富島を日帰りで行けるということで申し込みました。船・バスで効率よく案内してもらえて、充実した1日となりました。当初レンタカーも考えてましたが、1人旅でしたので、運転の疲れもなく、バス旅行も意外といいなと思いました。特に、マングローブの知識が深まったことや竹富島での水牛車観光は貴重な体験となりました。

I was unsure about what to do since the rain forecast meant we wouldn't be able to see the starry sky, but I'm glad I went.
It was raining, but thanks to the leaves on the trees during the night tour, we surprisingly didn't get too wet.
Starting with the frogs I saw for the first time, I was able to see various creatures, including a light green gecko, beautiful purple crabs, and red crabs. The satisfaction of finally spotting the wild coconut crab that everyone was looking for was quite high.
The two guides were friendly and easy to talk to, and I had a great time exploring with the other tour participants.
If I come back to Iriomote Island, I would love to join this tour again and hopefully see the Milky Way next time.
Thank you for making this trip enjoyable even in the rain.
雨予報で星空は観れないのでどうしようか迷いましたが、行って良かったです
雨は降ってましたがナイトツアーでは木の葉っぱのおかげで思いの外濡れませんでした
初めて見るカエルから始まり、薄緑のヤモリから紫色の綺麗なカニ、赤いカニと色んな生き物を見ることが出来て、皆んなが探していた野生のヤシガニをついに見れた時の満足度はかなり高かったです

I booked a night tour in Iriomote Island through VELTRA. Since it was November, we couldn't see the stars we were hoping for, but kayaking at night while learning about fireflies, the mangrove ecosystem, and the night sky from our guide was a very interesting experience! The tour lasted just over 60 minutes, so it would have been perfect if we could have enjoyed it a little longer. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience on the southern island!
VELTRAさんから西表島のナイトツアーを予約しました。
11月だったのでそんなにお目当ての星空は見えなかったけど、綺麗な満月の中、夜行虫やマングローブの生態系、ガイドさんの夜空の講習を受けながらのナイトカヤックはとても面白い体験をさせていただきました!
時間が60分強だったので、あと少し長い時間楽しめれば言うこと無しです♪

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。
新月の時にもう一度このツアーに参加して天の川を見たいと思います。
Thank you for participating in the Iriomote Island Mangrove Night Kayak Tour. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the main Milky Way due to the full moon, but the bioluminescent plankton was beautiful.

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!

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.

The glass-bottom boat took us out to the sea, and they worked hard to find fish, but there were fewer than I expected. When we threw out some bait, large, simple fish came around. I was hoping to see some more unusual fish, which is why I gave this rating. We visited three islands, and everyone guided us smoothly, so I didn't have any issues.
グラスボードは海のスポットに出て一生懸命魚を探してくださるけど、思っていたような魚は少なく餌をまくと大きなシンプルな魚がやってきました。

I traveled from Ishigaki Island's ferry terminal to Iriomote Island and took a mangrove cruise. I knew the cruise wouldn't go too far into the mangroves, but I was a bit disappointed that we turned back much sooner than I expected.
Next, I took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island. Yubu Island felt like a botanical garden and was very beautiful. The water buffalo cart was just as I had hoped.
Lunch at the island's cafeteria was also good.
Then, I visited Taketomi Island. Since I added all the options, we first went on a glass-bottom boat to see the corals and fish. The water clarity was a bit poor due to the typhoon that had just passed, but I was satisfied because I could still see corals and fish. It would have been even better if the water had been clearer, but that's just luck.
After that, we toured the island by microbus. I was a little disappointed by the number of people. Finally, I rode the water buffalo cart again to circle the island, and then we walked around the places we visited by water buffalo cart until it was time for the ferry. We were taken by bus to the ferry terminal and then took the ferry back to Ishigaki Island's ferry terminal.
I was very satisfied to have visited three islands in one day.
石垣島離島ターミナルより西表島に渡り、仲間川マングローブクルーズ。
マングローブクルーズはあまり奥まで行かない事は分かっていたが、期待していたよりも全然手前で戻ってしまったので少し残念。
次に水牛車で由布島へ。
由布島は全体が植物園の様な感じでとてもキレイでした。水牛車も期待通りで良かったです。
島の食堂でのランチも良かったです。
そして三島目の竹富島。
オプションを全部付けたので始めはグラスボートでサンゴと魚を見に行きました。
台風直後だったので水の透明度が少し悪かったですが、サンゴも魚も見れたので満足。
水が透明だったらなお良かったですが、こればかりは運ですね。
その後マイクロバスで島内観光。人の多さに少しがっかりでした。
最後は水牛車に乗ってもう一度島内をぐるりと回り、その後船の時間まで歩いて水牛車で回った場所をおさらい。
フェリー乗り場までバスで送ってもらい、フェリーで石垣島離島ターミナルへ。
1日で三島巡りできてとても満足でした。

It was a joy to spend time with my family on the same route I took about 30 years ago with my family members.
石垣島から出発して、西表島・由布島・竹富島と島めぐり。特に西表島から由布島へは水牛で移動し、竹富島でも水牛に乗りました。約30年前に実家メンバーと来たルートを自分の家族と共に楽しく過ごせました。

Although the weather was unfortunately drizzly, I had a great time. The staff on the mangrove cruise provided various explanations, and I was able to see plenty of mangroves. We crossed to Yufuin Island by water buffalo, and if you get a cart that plays the sanshin, you can enjoy some music too♪ The lunch on Yufuin Island was also very delicious, made with local ingredients.
あいにくの小雨の天気でしたが十分楽しめました。
マングローブのクルーズ船もスタッフの方が色々説明してくれてたくさんマングローブが見れました。
由布島へ水牛で渡りますが三線を弾いてくれる牛車にあたれば歌も聞けます♪
由布島でのお弁当も地元の食材を使ったものでとても美味しかったです。

On Iriomote Island, I enjoyed the Nakama River cruise where I could see various mangroves and animals, and the boat guide's stories were fun. We crossed to Yubu Island by water buffalo, and I really felt the essence of Okinawa with the sound of the sanshin and the songs. There was also a spot to touch the water buffalo, and I was able to take pictures with them! They were so cute. The lunch bento was delicious too.
西表島では仲間川クルーズでいろいろなマングローブや動物が見れて船のガイドさんの話も楽しかったです。
由布島まで水牛で渡りましたが三線の音色に歌にとても沖縄を感じました。
水牛に触れるスポットもあって一緒に写真もとれました!とっても可愛かったです。
お昼のお弁当もおいしかったです。

I went on a similar tour quite a while ago, but this one was sufficient. The weather was a bit bad, but it was not a problem. The guide was also interesting (this is important), and I would like to request them again.
かなり前に同じようなツアーを行きましたがこれで十分です、天候が少し悪かったのですが問題ありません、ガイドさんも面白く(ここ大事)またお願いしたいです。

First, we took a ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island. On Iriomote Island, we cruised through the mangrove forests by boat. The guide provided detailed explanations about the mangrove ecosystem, and I learned so much—it was a wonderful experience!
From Ishigaki Island, we crossed the sea to Yubu Island by water buffalo. The water buffalo were so cute and soothing, and while crossing the sea, our guide played the sanshin, creating a moment where you can truly feel the essence of Okinawa!
We then took another ferry to Taketomi Island, where we also rode in a water buffalo cart! This time, the cart took us around the streets of Ishigaki, allowing us to enjoy a different scenery compared to Yubu Island.
It was a luxurious tour packed with highlights from all three islands! If you're visiting Ishigaki Island and want to explore many nearby islands, I highly recommend this experience!
まず石垣島からフェリーで西表島へ。
西表島ではマングローブ林の中をボートでクルージング。マングローブの生態など詳しく解説してもらえて、初めて知ることばっかりでとてもいい経験になりました!
石垣島から由布島へは水牛で海を渡りました。
水牛がとても可愛くて癒されますし、海を渡りながらガイドさんが三線を弾いてくれるので、沖縄をすごく感じることのできる瞬間です!!
さらにフェリーに乗って、竹富島に行き、ここでも水牛車に乗りました!
今度は石垣の街並みを回ってくれるので、由布島とはまた違った風景を楽しむことができます。
3島の見どころをぎゅっと詰め込んだ贅沢なツアーでした!
せっかく石垣島に来たなら、たくさん離島を回りたいという方に是非オススメです!

We participated in this tour to create memorable experiences as a couple. The mangrove cruise was breathtaking with so many mangroves! My husband was also very satisfied. On the water buffalo cart, we enjoyed listening to the sanshin performance, and my husband happily hummed along to the songs. At Yufu Island, we strolled together among the subtropical plants, which was very nice. For lunch, we were able to try local dishes like under miso and umukujii, which we hadn't had before, and that was great. It was a wonderful tour that created lovely memories for us as a couple, and we were very satisfied.
夫婦での旅行で、思い出になるものを考えこのツアーに参加しました。
マングローブ遊覧は、たくさんのマングローブに感動!主人も大満足していました。水牛車では、三線の演奏を聞きながら、曲を主人も楽しそうに口ずさんでいました。由布島では、亜熱帯の植物を2人で散策しなが見れてとても良かったです。昼食も、アンダー味噌やウムクジーなどあまり口にしたことのない郷土料理を食べられて良かったです。いい夫婦の思い出になり大満足のツアーでした。
