All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was a very fulfilling tour where I could feel the atmosphere of each island! I was a bit disappointed that the meal was a bento, but there were plenty of highlights to see!

島それぞれの雰囲気を感じることができ、とても充実したツアーでした！
食事はお弁当なので、少しガッカリでしたが、見所満載でした！

I used this for a family trip. The locals were warm, and I had a great experience. I was very satisfied to buy pineapples cheaply on Yufu Island.

家族旅行で利用しました。
現地の皆さんも温かく、良い経験ができました。
由布島でパイナップルを安く買えて大満足です。

I was able to smoothly enjoy the island-hopping tour. During the bus ride from Iriomote Island to the water buffalo cart boarding area, the driver's unique commentary was great, and the staff with the water buffalo cart entertained us with folk songs, making the trip enjoyable. Renting a bicycle to explore Taketomi Island allowed me to take it easy and go at my own pace, which was wonderful.

3島巡りをスムーズに観光する事が出来ました。
西表島から水牛車乗り場へのバス移動の際、運転手さんのユニークな案内も良かったし、水牛車の係りの方も民謡を聞かせてくださり、旅を盛り上げて頂き楽しく過ごす事ができました。
自転車を借りて竹富島巡りはのんびりと自分のペースで過ごせて良かったです。

Since I was traveling with my elderly grandparents, I was looking for a tour-type island-hopping experience rather than going individually. I was able to enjoy Taketomi Island, which I was most looking forward to, and I was also satisfied with visiting Iriomote Island and Yubu Island together. The weather wasn't very good, but the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo were impressive. While I can't say it was completely relaxing, I was able to spend a fulfilling day at a relatively leisurely pace. I'm glad I allocated a longer time for Taketomi Island.

高齢の祖父母も一緒の旅行でしたので、個人ではなくツアータイプの離島めぐりを探していました。
一番期待していた竹富島も楽しめましたし、西表島と由布島も一緒に行けて満足できました。
天候はあまりよくなかったのですが、マングローブクルーズと水牛が印象的でした。
のんびりゆっくり…とは言い切れませんが、それなりにゆっくりしながら充実した一日を過ごせました。竹富島は長めの時間にしておいてよかったです。

I’m not good at deciding on courses myself, so I decided to ask for help here.

Everything went smoothly and on time, and I was able to enjoy myself without any worries like, “Is this the right destination?”

The bus driver on Iriomote Island was the best. The lunch on Yubu Island was delicious. On Taketomi Island, I chose the bus tour and water buffalo ride. There were times when I thought, “Wait, we’re leaving already? I want to stay here a little longer…” but it was a great day packed into about 9 hours.

I definitely want to ask for help again!

自分でコースを決めるのが苦手なので、こちらでお願いすることにしました。

時間通りに、スムーズに活動でき、「行き先はここかな？」等という不安なく、安心して楽しむことができました。

西表島のバスの運転手さん、最高でした。由布島のランチ、美味しかったです。竹富島では、バス観光&水牛を選択しました。え？もう出発？もう少しここにいたいな…という時もありましたが、約9時間の中に、ぎゅぎゅっと詰まった良い１日でした。

是非またお願いしたいと思います！

Although the weather was bad with rain and winds at 10 m/s, the boat ride was smooth and there were no issues. I was able to closely observe the mangroves unique to the Yaeyama Islands from a well-equipped boat designed for rain protection. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, a scene familiar from television, and it was enjoyable as a guest. On Yubu Island, the sight of the largest butterfly in Japan, the Papilio garamas, fluttering around was elegant and beautiful! The mangrove walking path is also well-maintained.

On Taketomi Island, I leisurely enjoyed my time exploring the Okinawan village by water buffalo cart and on foot. I returned to Ishigaki Island at 4:15 PM and took a photo with Yoshitaka Gushiken—what a thrill! The popular tour had a well-organized schedule, which was reassuring. It was unfortunate about the unpredictable weather. Lunch was somewhat disappointing compared to the delicious meal from the previous day. It would have been perfect if there had been more choices.

雨混じりで１０ｍ風速で悪天候であったが、ボートでの移動も揺れ少なく、
問題なかった。八重山諸島特有のマングローブも雨対策の完備したボートで
近くで観察できた。テレビでお馴染みの由布島への水牛車風景巡りであったが
お客主賓で楽しかった。由布島では日本で最も大きい蝶、オオゴマダラが飛び交う姿は、優雅で美しい！マングローブ遊歩道も整備されている。
竹富島では沖縄集落を水牛車と徒歩散策でゆったり時間を楽しんだ。
石垣島へ帰ったのが4時15分、具志堅用高と写真を撮り万歳！
人気のあるツアーで手慣れたスケジュールは安心できる。
天候不順は残念。昼食は前日美味しい食事だったので、やや不満足でした。
もっとチョイスが出来れば満点。

The weather wasn't very good, which was disappointing, but it was an easy tour. I would like to try going in the summer next time. I want to choose a plan with a bit more activities next time.

天気があまり良くなく残念なところもあったが手軽なツアーでした。次回は夏に行ってみたい。次回はもう少しアクティビティーの高いプランを選んでみたい

I thought it would be a tough day since it was a tour of Mishima, but I was able to enjoy it leisurely! Even though it was just one day, it turned out to be a meaningful day with so much to see.

三島巡りだったのでハードだと思いましたがゆったりと満喫できました！一日でありますがこれだけ回れ有意義な日になりました。

The weather was great on the day of the trip, making it a wonderful journey. The shuttle service was shared with other groups, but the staff was efficient, and I had no complaints. The tour started and ended in Ishigaki Island, visiting Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it had a well-organized schedule that allowed us to fully enjoy the islands. If I had gone on my own, I wouldn't have been able to cover so much in one day. I look forward to using Veltra again for my next enjoyable trip.

当日は天気が良く素晴らしい旅になりました。
送迎はほかの団体客と同乗でしたが担当者さんはキビキビしていて別段不満はなかったです。
石垣島発着で西表島、由布島、竹富島を周遊するツアーでしたが、ツアーならではの無駄のないスケジュールで離島を満喫しました。
個人で行ったらこんなに効率的に回れず１日で周るのは無理でした。
また次回もベルトラを利用して楽しい旅をしたいと思います。

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour around Mishima. I was picked up from the hotel in the morning and finished around 4 PM, after which I was taken back to the hotel. It was a great value tour since you can enjoy a full day. My day in Ishigaki was filled with a sense of fulfillment.

三島めぐりをしっかり楽しめました。朝からホテル迎えで、4時すぎに終了してホテルまで送ってもらいました。１日たっぷり楽しめるのでお得なツアーでした。石垣島の
１日は、充実感でいっぱいです

The weather in November on the Sakishima Islands is just perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. My elderly mother was able to enjoy it without any strain. The water buffalo are very cute and reliable. It was clear that the staff really cares for the water buffalo.

天候に恵まれての11月の先島は暑すぎず寒すぎずとてもいいですね。高齢の母も無理なく楽しめました。水牛　とても可愛くて頼もしいですねスタッフがとても水牛たちを大事にしていることが伺えました。

I was looking for snorkeling in Barasu Island and chose this tour because it had very high reviews. The weather on the day was a bit iffy, but the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish. I have participated in other snorkeling tours before, but this one was different as we didn't disperse at the points; instead, we searched for fish together, and the guide provided proper assistance, which made me feel safe while swimming.

Additionally, I actually didn't have high expectations for the SUP experience in the mangroves of Iriomote Island, but it turned out to be very enjoyable. It was my first time, but they taught me carefully, so I felt secure doing it. I also got to take many beautiful photos, which made me very satisfied.

This is a fulfilling plan that allows you to enjoy two types of activities in one day, so I highly recommend it.

バラス島でシュノーケリングがしたく探していたら、こちらのツアーの口コミ評価がとても高かったので、選ばせていただきました。
当日は天気が微妙でしたが、海の中はとても綺麗でたくさんのお魚が観れました。
今まで何度か他のシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しましたが、ポイントで自由解散ではなく、一緒に魚を探したりきちんとガイドしてくださったので安心して泳げました。
そして実はあまり期待していなかった西表島マングローブのSUP体験がとても楽しかったです。初めてでしたが丁寧に教えてもらえるのでこちらも安心してできました。綺麗な写真もたくさん撮っていただけて大満足です。
1日で2種類のアクティビティが楽しめる充実プランなので本当におススメです。

In the morning, I thoroughly enjoyed nature in the mangroves! The guide shared various stories, allowing us to savor a leisurely time. In the afternoon, we went snorkeling at Baras Island! I even encountered sea turtles, making it a truly satisfying day! I would love to use this service again when I come back!

午前中はマングローブで森のなかの自然を大満喫！ガイドさんがいろんなお話をしてくれながら、ゆっくりな時間を満喫できます。
午後からはバラス島でシュノーケリング！ウミガメにも出会えて、本当に大満足な１日でした！またきたさいにはご利用したいと思います！

First, we paddled through the jungle on stand-up paddleboards (SUP). It was my first experience, but anyone can easily ride! We arrived at the waterfall basin and took photos! They took so many pictures for us, so I felt at ease without bringing anything.

For lunch, we each had loco moco and taco rice at a nearby café! The café had a great atmosphere, and the food was very delicious.

After a short break, we went snorkeling in the afternoon! I was thrilled by the blue sky and the pure white coral island.

I thoroughly enjoyed the nature of Iriomote Island, and it was a very satisfying day!

まず！ジャングルの中をSUPで進んでゆきます。
初体験でしたが、誰でも簡単に乗れました！
滝つぼに到着し、写真撮影！沢山お写真を撮って下さるので、何も持参せず安心でした。

お昼は各自近くのカフェでロコモコやタコライスを食べました！
カフェは雰囲気もよく、お食事もとても美味しかったです。

少し休憩した後、午後はシュノーケリング！
青いお空と真っ白なサンゴの島に感激でした。

西表島の自然を満喫でき、大満足の1日でした！

We participated with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters, along with their grandparents, making it a three-generation experience. Perhaps because we had small children, we were allowed to be in a group just for our family. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, never showing any displeasure even when the kids were noisy or fussy, and they adjusted the pace to suit us. We all had a wonderful time together!

SUP was enjoyable, as we could stand and sit even with the kids! During snorkeling, I couldn't swim, but they pulled me along on a rescue board, which made me feel safe. I was so happy to see baby turtles! I would love to participate again when I come back to the Yaeyama Islands!

5歳・3歳の娘と、祖父・祖母と、3世代で参加させていただきました。
小さい子供がいたからか、家族だけで1グループとしていただき、子供が騒いだり、グズっていても嫌な顔１つもせず、進むスピードも合わせて下さり、とても親切丁寧に対応してくださいました。
家族みんなでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました！
SUPは子供連れでも立ったり座ったり、楽しかったです！
シュノーケリングでは、泳げない私のためにレスキューボードでずっと引っ張ってくれたので、安心できました。カメの子供に会えて、とっても嬉しかったです！
また八重山諸島へ来たときは、参加したいです！

I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience with SUP, but the instruction was very kind and thorough, and I had a lot of fun. I did fall a little (quite dramatically), but the waterfall was great too.

SUPは、初めての経験で不安だったけれども、とても親切に丁寧に教えていただいて、とても楽しかったです。ちょっと落ちたけれども(豪快に)
滝も良かったです。

I had a great time with my grandchild on the SUP! I couldn't stand up, but I was able to kneel (^^).

SUPで孫を前に乗せて、楽しくできました！
立つことはできなかったけれども、膝立ちはできました(^^)

I was able to see beautiful coral reefs that I had only seen on TV while snorkeling! Luckily, I also got to see a sea turtle, which made for the best memories.

シュノーケリングでは、テレビでしか見たことがないような綺麗なサンゴ礁が見れました！
運良くウミガメも見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。

This time, I went canoeing and to Baras Island in the morning, and explored a cave in the afternoon. The guide introduced us to many best spots and took a lot of photos for us! By the way, the food (vegetable soba) next to the office was surprisingly delicious, so definitely try it. Haha!

今回は午前中にカヌー&バラス島、午後に鍾乳洞探索に行ってきました。
ガイドの方にたくさんベストスポットを紹介頂き、写真もたくさん取って頂きました！！
ちなみに事務所の隣のご飯(野菜そば)が、地味に美味しかったので、ぜひ。笑

We were just lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy all the tours! The guide provided various topics to discuss, making the tour enjoyable. We also took a lot of photos, creating great memories.

ギリギリ天気に恵まれすべてのツアーを楽しむことができました！
ガイドさんもいろんな話題を提供してくれツアー中楽しめました。写真もいっぱい撮ってくれていい思い出ができました。

I had a very meaningful time experiencing things I had never done before in one day, such as visiting a limestone cave, Balas Island, canoeing in the mangroves, and trekking! It was so much fun! Thank you very much.

鍾乳洞、バラス島、マングローブでのカヌー、トレッキングと今まで体験したことなかったことを1日で体験でき非常に有意義な時間を過ごせました！とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました。

The guide was very polite and it was really great! The coral from Balas Island is a memorable souvenir! It was a day of complete satisfaction!

ガイドさんも丁寧ですごくよかったです！
バラス島のサンゴは思い出のおみやげです！大満足の一日でした！

We participated as a family of four (two adults, a 3-year-old, and an 8-month-old). Due to weather conditions, we changed our schedule to one day earlier at the last minute, but they handled everything, including transportation to the hotel, very well.

It was our first time exploring the remote islands, and we truly enjoyed the mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, and the sightseeing spots on Taketomi Island while cycling.

Our 3-year-old especially loved the water buffalo on Yubu Island, enjoying the experience of holding the reins, feeding them, and touching them (for a fee of 500 yen). Additionally, even though it was a full day plan starting early in the morning, our 8-month-old managed just fine.

If given the opportunity, I would love to use this service with my family again.

家族4人（夫婦＋3歳＋0歳8ヶ月）で参加しました。
天候の関係で直前に1日前倒しの日程に変更してもらいましたが、ホテルまでの送迎も含めてしっかりと対応をいただきました。

はじめての離島巡りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛、竹富島のレンタサイクルでの観光スポット巡りなど本当に楽しめました。

特に3歳の子供は由布島での水牛が気に入ったらしく、水牛の手綱を引いたり、餌をあげたり、タッチをしたりするふれあい体験が楽しかったそうです。（有料500円）
また、朝早くからの1日がかりのプランでしたが、0歳8ヶ月の子供も問題なく乗り切れました
♩

機会があればまた家族で利用したいと思います。

Since high waves were expected, I went snorkeling near Barasu Island in the morning. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves of Iriomote Island. I was thrilled to see schools of fish that I had never seen before while snorkeling. The mangrove tour in the afternoon allowed me to feel the great outdoors, and I really enjoyed it. The tour instructor was also very kind, making for a very satisfying trip!

波が高いと予想されていたので、午前中にバラス島近辺でシュノーケリング。
午後は西表島のマングローブでSUP
シュノーケリングでは見たことのない魚たちの群れを見ることができて大感激でした。
午後のマングローブツアーでは大自然を感じることができ、とてもENJOYできました。
ツアーのインストラクターの方もとても親切で大満足な旅でした！

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time this time. I chose this tour where we could experience both the sea and mangroves in a limited time, and it was a great decision!
With the help of a kind guide, my family and I were able to share many first-time emotions together!
We took a lot of pictures, and since we usually don't take family photos, it became the best memory! I think this tour is highly recommended as we were able to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island with the seawater, freshwater, and greenery!

今回初めて西表島を訪れました。限られた時間の中で海もマングローブも出来るこちらのツアーを選びましたが大正解！
親切なガイドさんのもと親子で初の感動を沢山共有できました！
写真も沢山撮っていただけて普段なかなか家族で写真を撮ることがないので最高の思い出です！海水に淡水に緑にと西表島の大自然を目一杯楽しめてすごくおススメのツアーだと思います！！

With transportation included, you can easily visit three islands. This tour covers the highlights of each island and is ideal for those experiencing remote islands for the first time. When crossing to Yufu Island, sitting at the front may result in getting splashed, so if you're concerned about that, consider sitting towards the back.

送迎付きで、3島を手軽に回ることができます。それぞれの見どころを抑えており、離島初体験のツアーとしては最適といえます。由布島に渡るときは、先頭に座ると水がかかる可能性がありますので、気になる人は後方に座ることも考慮してください。

This time, since it was a trip with my elderly parents, I wanted to minimize walking while still having a satisfying plan, and I found this course! The cruise was great, and the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing were very good without unnecessary fatigue.

今回は高齢の両親との旅行だったので、なるべく歩かず、けれども満足行くプランでと思って探してヒットしたのがこのコースでした！
クルーズも良し、水牛車、バス観光と無駄に疲れることなく大変良かったです

The water buffalo carts, the buildings, and the people were all wonderful.

My stay on Taketomi Island was very short, so I felt a bit unsatisfied and definitely want to go back again.

水牛車も、建物も、人も全てよかったです。

竹富島の滞在が、すごく少なくて。。物足りなかったので、またぜひ行きたいと思いました。

I received a phone call about the tour details the day before, which left a good impression. We traveled to Iriomote Island by ferry. There was a pick-up service to Uehara Port, and a cheerful staff member came to greet us. During the tour, they were very kind to us (I will skip the details of the tour). After the tour, there was also a shower available (with rinse, shampoo, and body soap). It was a shop with a strong spirit of service!

ツアー内容について、前日にお電話をいただけるのですが、そこから好印象でした。西表島まではフェリーで行きます。上原港までお迎えがついているので、元気のいいスタッフの方が来てくださりました。
ツアー中も親切にしてもらえました。(ツアーの事は省略します)
ツアー後にはシャワーも付いています(リンスシャンプーボディーソープ付き)。
サービス精神旺盛なショップでした！

I was drawn to the catchphrase "the last hidden gem of Japan," so I decided to go to Iriomote Island! As the name suggests, endless nature spreads out before you, and I was able to fully enjoy mangrove SUP and snorkeling. In particular, Barasu Island felt like a truly mysterious space, and I wanted to float there forever! The service was great too!

私はこの日本最後の秘境というキャッチに惹かれて、西表島に行くことに決めました！
その名の通り、果てしない自然が広がっており、マングローブSUPもシュノーケリングも存分に楽しむことができました。
特にバラス島はまさに不思議な空間といった感じで、ずっと側で浮かんでいたいと思いました！
サービスも良かったですよ！
