The island's restrooms were clean, and the signage was easy to understand, which was great. The lunch was just the right amount and delicious. The explanations during the bus ride on Iriomote Island were very good.
島のトイレもきれいで、案内もわかりやすくとてもよかったです。昼食もちょうどいい量で美味しかったです。西表島のバス乗車中の説明がとてもよかったです。
水分を購入できるポイントが少ないので熱中症対策は必須です。

It was my first time doing SUP, but with the kind guidance of the instructor, I was able to paddle out with confidence. The water surrounded by mangrove forests was very calm, and the time spent slowly moving while listening to the sounds of birds and the wind was an exceptional healing experience. It was a tour that even beginners could enjoy without difficulty, allowing me to refresh my mind in nature.
初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドさんの親切な指導で安心して漕ぎ出すことができました。マングローブの林に囲まれた水面はとても穏やかで、鳥の声や風の音を聞きながらゆっくり進む時間は格別の癒やし。初心者でも無理なく楽しめて、大自然に心からリフレッシュできるツアーでした。

The guide's explanations were very friendly, and the stories about constellations and the lives of animals resonated with the scenery in front of us. It was a special time to fully enjoy nature, from gasping at the brilliance of the stars floating in the darkness to listening closely to the tranquility of the night forest, engaging all five senses.
ガイドさんの案内はとても親しみやすく、星座の神話や動物の暮らしについての説明が、目の前の景色と重なり合って心に残りました。暗闇に浮かぶ星々の輝きに息をのんだり、夜の森の静けさに耳を澄ませたりと、五感を使って自然を満喫できる特別な時間でした。

I'm having a very fulfilling experience as I continue to explore everything systematically! We can choose our return boat at either 4 PM or 5 PM. We even get to take pictures with cows! I was a bit greedy and booked both a water buffalo cart ride and cycling at the end, so the cycling time was a bit short, which was a little disappointing. The weather was great, though, and it was the best!
計画的にどんどん体験していくので、とっても充実しています!!帰りの船も16時か17時で自分達で選択出来ます。
牛と一緒に写真を撮れたりします!
欲張って最後、水牛車とサイクリングを予約したので、サイクリングの時間が少なめだったので少し残念でした。お天気も良くて最高でした!
If you are meeting at the location, I think it's a good idea to allow some extra time as you may have to wait a bit to complete the procedures at the counter!
現地集合する場合、カウンターで手続きする時間のに少し並ぶので余裕を持って行くと良いと思います!

The scenery of each island was amazing. The guides were kind during the transfers, which was great. The expression of the water buffalo was adorable.
I didn't have any particular concerns, but when I applied for the tour, I wasn't sure how to view the details about where we would go and what we would do. On the day of the tour, I was a bit surprised by the number of bus and boat transfers.
各離島の景色最高でした。
移動の際に案内の方も親切で良かったです。
水牛の表情が可愛らしかったです。
気になった事、特には無いんですが
ツアー申込の際、何処に行って何をするとか
細かい詳細の見方がわからないまま、
当日になりバスや船の乗換の多さに少しビックリしました。

It's not a problem if you've never been canoeing before. The guide mentioned that towards the end, their arms get tired and feel swollen, but I personally didn't feel that way. You can see the mangrove forest up close and even touch it.
カヌーを乗ったことがなくても問題ないです。ガイドの人は結構最後ら辺は腕が疲れてパンパンになると言ってましたが、私自身は特にパンパンにはなってないです。マングローブの森を身近で見ることができ、触ることもできます。

Since we participated in the tour with children, I carefully checked the tour details in advance to prepare for things like bathroom breaks and nap times. Everything went according to plan.
The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island was filled with explanations and allowed us to gain a lot of knowledge. We were able to ride the water buffalo cart twice on the round trip to Yufu Island. On Yufu Island, we had an hour and a half of free time, which was almost not enough to fully enjoy it.
On Taketomi Island, we searched for star sand at Kaiji Beach and enjoyed swimming at the shallow Kondoi Beach while looking at the Nishi Sandbar. The return ferry time can be chosen without a reservation, so depending on how the kids were feeling, we could leave early or stay longer on Taketomi Island if the kids were energetic, which was very convenient.
子連れでのツアー参加でしたので、トイレや昼寝など想定しておくためにツアー詳細を事前に念入りに確認していました。全て予定通りに進みました。
西表島でのマングローブクルーズは説明盛り沢山で知識豊富になれます。水牛車は由布島の往復で2回乗れます。由布島では、自由時間1時間半が足りないくらい満喫できました。竹富島ではカイジ浜で星砂を探して、遠浅のコンドイビーチで海水浴しながら西桟橋を眺めることもできました。
帰りのフェリーの時間は予約なしで選べるので、子供の具合次第で早く帰ることもできるし、子供が元気だからたくさん竹富島で長く遊ぶという選択もできるのがありがたかったです。

In September, I participated in a day tour with a group of four women. We traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, experiencing a lot in just one day by switching between buses, boats, and water buffalo carts.

Impressions
⭐︎ It was so much fun!
I had an extraordinary experience with unique activities like traveling by water buffalo cart and taking a mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island. On Taketomi Island, we rented bicycles and enjoyed the beautiful village and the emerald green sea. Since the distances are tough on foot, I highly recommend renting a bicycle.
---
What I Liked
• The transportation arrangements were very smooth, with minimal waiting time, making it comfortable.
• The guide's explanations were easy to understand, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry, even as first-timers.
• It was amazing to experience the different charms of each island, like the water buffalo and the mangrove cruise.
• The sea was truly beautiful, and it was incredibly healing.
---
What I Noticed
• September is very hot, and I exhausted my energy during transfers and while exploring the islands. A hat, parasol, and sunscreen are essential due to the strong sunlight.
• On Taketomi Island, walking can be tough both time-wise and physically, so I strongly recommend renting a bicycle without hesitation.

Overall Evaluation
The tour was a great satisfaction, combining transportation, sightseeing, and meals efficiently, allowing for a packed day of experiences! It's perfect for girls' trips and group travel.
9月に女子4人グループで参加しました。石垣島から西表島・由布島・竹富島をめぐる日帰りツアーで、バスや船、水牛車などを乗り継ぎながら、1日でたくさんの体験ができました。

感想
⭐︎ めちゃ楽しかった!
普段はできない水牛車での移動や、西表島のマングローブクルーズなど、非日常感たっぷりの体験ができました。竹富島では自転車をレンタルし、美しい集落やエメラルドグリーンの海を満喫。徒歩では厳しい距離なので、自転車レンタルはとてもおすすめです。
⸻
良かったこと
• 移動の段取りがとてもスムーズで、待ち時間が少なく快適でした。
• ガイドさんの案内がわかりやすく、初めてでも安心して楽しめました。
• 水牛やマングローブクルーズなど、島ごとに違った魅力を体験できたのが最高。
• 海が本当にきれいで、心から癒されました。
⸻
気になったこと
• 9月はとても暑く、移動中や島内散策で体力を消耗しました。日差しが強いので帽子・日傘・日焼け止めは必須です。
• 竹富島は徒歩だと時間的にも体力的にも厳しいため、迷わず自転車をレンタルするのを強くおすすめします。
⸻
総合評価
移動・観光・食事すべてが効率よく組み合わされていて、1日で盛りだくさんの体験ができる大満足のツアーでした!女子旅やグループ旅行にもぴったりです。
- September is very hot, so a hat, parasol, sunscreen, and drinks are essential!
- It's tough to get around Taketomi Island on foot, so renting a bicycle is definitely recommended.
• 9月はとても暑いので、帽子・日傘・日焼け止め・飲み物は必須!
• 竹富島は徒歩移動だと厳しいので、自転車レンタルが断然おすすめ。

It rained quite a bit in the morning, but the boat to Iriomote Island was mostly stable. Even though it was raining during the mangrove cruise after arriving on the island, we were able to see the mangroves without getting wet on the boat. The guide's explanations were thorough and educational. On the bus within Iriomote Island, we learned about the history and the lives of the locals through the guide's humorous talk while enjoying the ride to the water buffalo riding area. The water buffalo cart took us through a fantastical landscape to Yufu Island, where we had lunch made with local ingredients unique to the island. While there may be mixed opinions, personally, I enjoyed a little bit of everything, and it was very delicious! I was able to get up close and take commemorative photos with the water buffalo named Rui-kun. By the time we arrived at Taketomi Island, it had completely cleared up and was quite hot. Cycling in the sand during that heat was tough (but the younger ones seemed to manage fine). I recommend an electric bike for those who aren't confident in their stamina. After returning to Ishigaki, we still had plenty of time to play, making it a very fulfilling day.
朝からかなりの雨でしたが西表島までの船はほとんど揺れず、島についてからのマングローブクルーズでも雨が降っていましたが、ボートないは濡れずにマングローブを見れました。ガイドさんの説明が丁寧で勉強になりました。西表島内のバスはガイドさんのユーモア溢れるトークで歴史や地元の人たちの生活について知ったり楽しみながら水牛乗り場まで行きました。水牛車は幻想的な風景の中由布島まで進み、島では島ならではの素材を使ったお昼をいただきました。賛否があるかもしれませんが、個人的には色々少しずつ楽しめて、かつ、とてもおいしくいただきました!水牛のるいくんに触れながらかなり至近距離で顔を近づけて記念撮影ができました。竹富島に着く頃にはすっかり晴れて暑いくらいでした。あの暑さの中、砂で足元をとられるサイクリングは辛かったです(若い方たちは問題なしかと)。体力に自信がないかたは電動サイクルをおすすめします。石垣に戻ってからもまだまだ遊ぶ時間があったので、かなり充実した一日になりました。
The weather can change depending on the island, so I think it's reassuring to have rain gear (it can also serve as a parasol on sunny days).
島によってお天気が変わることがあるので雨具はあると心強いと思います。(晴れでも日傘代わりになるので)

I had experienced the sunset before, so this time I chose the sunrise canoe. They picked me up at the hotel, and during the 20-minute drive to the port, I encountered what seemed to be wild boars and Ryukyu scops owls, and on the way back, I saw a white-browed crake.
When we arrived at the port in the still dim light, there were many clouds and thunder could be heard in the distance, but by the time we received the briefing and set off, the clouds began to turn red, and gradually the morning glow became visible.
Along the way, a sea turtle surfaced for air and quickly dove back down, and I also saw black and white clownfish. Most importantly, the guide shared various stories, making it a very satisfying tour.
サンセットは以前に体験したので、今回はサンライズカヌーを選びました。ホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、港までの20分のドライブ中にイノシシやリュウキュウコノハズクらしき鳥と、帰りはシロハラクイナと遭遇しました。
まだ薄暗い中港に到着した時は雲が多く遠くで雷もなっていましたが、説明を聞いて出港する頃には雲が赤く染まりだし、だんだんと朝焼けが見えてきました。
途中で海亀が息継ぎで上昇してきて慌てて潜っていったり、白黒のクマノミもいたり、何よりガイドさんが色々な話をしてくださり大満足のツアーでした。
It depends on the weather, but I think this tour is worth considering when staying on Iriomote Island.
天候に左右されますが、西表島に宿泊する際は検討に値するツアーだと思います。

I participated in a mangrove kayak tour and a visit to Yubu Island!
The mangroves were surrounded by trees on both sides, making the waterways narrow, which gave a thrilling sense of adventure and was really enjoyable.
I got stuck in the mangroves a few times, but our guide, Rui, kindly helped me out and provided just the right amount of advice.
The visit to Yubu Island was great because we got to ride water buffalo to the island, which is an experience you don't usually get.

I participated in a day trip tour that allowed me to fully enjoy Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands. The tour included a mangrove cruise in Iriomote, a ride on a water buffalo cart from Iriomote to Yufu, and both a water buffalo cart and rental bicycles on Taketomi Island.
First of all, arranging this on your own would likely be impossible. Bus transportation is essential on the islands, and the logistics can be quite complicated and impractical, so joining a tour is the best option.
In Iriomote and Yufu, there are set routes and schedules, so you don’t need to plan everything in advance. Yufu is a small island, so if you follow the designated route, you can see all the attractions.
On Taketomi Island, there is free time for cycling, and being able to explore the island thoroughly during this time is crucial. The island has few large buildings and many similar streets, so it can be easy to get lost if it's your first visit. Additionally, restaurants and tourist spots are scattered around, so it's better to do some research beforehand. However, since you can get around by rental bicycle, you can reach the faraway beaches without taking too much time. Be mindful of the return time for the rental bicycles and the ferry departure time to Ishigaki, as both are fixed, so make sure not to be late.
私は西表・由布・竹富島を日帰りで満喫できるツアーに参加しました。西表ではマングローブ遊覧、西表~由布までの水牛車に乗り、竹富島では水牛車とレンタサイクルが楽しめるフルパッケージのツアーです。
まず、個人手配することはおそらく不可能です。島内ではバス移動が必須ですし、様々に煩雑で手間がかかりすぎて現実的ではありませんので、ツアー参加一択です。
西表、由布では決まったルート、予定が組まれているので、そこまで事前に計画を立てておかなくてもよいかと思います。由布は小さい島なので、順路に従って移動すれば島内すべてを観光できます。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルでの自由時間が設けられており、ここでの観光をしっかり回れるかどうかが重要です。まず島内は大きな建物が少なく、似たような通りばかりなので、初めてでは迷います。また食事処や観光名所もそれぞれに散らばっているので、事前に調べていったほうが良いです。ただ、レンタサイクルでの移動なので、遠方の海岸までもそこまで時間がかからずに到着できます。レンタサイクルの返却時間、石垣行のフェリー発車時間はそれぞれ決まっていますので、遅れないように注意しましょう。
You won't be disappointed if you join this tour. Although it takes time from early morning until evening, you can enjoy all of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi.
このツアーに参加すれば間違いありません。早朝から夕方まで時間はかかるものの、西表、由布、竹富をすべて楽しむことができます。

I always book options through Veltra, and while there were several tour companies on-site, the content seemed to be the same. In that case, it's definitely reassuring to book with the trusted Veltra.
This tour felt like time stood still. Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city really refreshes the mind. The meals were satisfying as well. The grandmother at the ice cream shop was very kind and gave me star sand. I would love to go back and relax again someday.
いつもベルトラさんでオプションを申し込みますが、現地でもいくつかのツアー会社がありましたが、中身は同じようです。ならばやはり信頼のベルトラさんで予約が安心ですね。
このツアーは、時間が止まったような感覚でした。現地の様子は都会の喧騒からはなれてね心がリフレッシュします。食事も満足。アイスクリーム屋のおばあがとても親切で、星の砂をいただきました。いつか、またのんびりしに行きたいです。

I was able to go to Barasu Island, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, and I was deeply moved! Initially, the plan was to land by boat, but I received a call the day before saying that due to the tides, we couldn't land by boat and had to choose between snorkeling to get there or giving up on Barasu Island and going to Yufu Island instead (there was originally a note about the possibility of changing the tour).
Since I have children and had never been to a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, I was anxious about snorkeling, but our guide, Toshi, kindly explained everything over the phone, which I really appreciated. In the end, I was glad I chose snorkeling. I got to see a lot of fish in the beautiful sea, and I was able to go to Barasu Island as well.
The mangrove canoeing was also fun, as we could all ride together as a family of five, and it felt like an adventure. I would like to join Toshi's tour again next time!
ずっと行きたかったバラス島に行くことができ、感動しました!
当初は船で上陸するプランでしたが、前日に電話があり潮の関係で船では上陸できず途中からシュノーケリングで向かうか、バラス島は諦めて由布島に行くか選んでくださいとのことでした(ツアー変更の可能性については元々記載がありました)
子供もおり、足がつかない所に行ったことがなかった為シュノーケリングに不安がありましたがガイドのトッシーが電話で丁寧に説明してくださりありがたかったです。結果、シュノーケリングを選んで良かったです。綺麗な海で魚をたくさん見られたし、バラス島にも行くことができました。
マングローブカヌーも、夫婦と子供3人乗りができ、冒険のようで楽しかったです。
次また行く際にもトッシーのツアーで参加したいと思います!

It was better than I expected. The ferry from Ishigaki Island was not fully booked, so I could sit comfortably. The mangrove boat tour, water buffalo cart, and the shuttle bus in between were all accompanied by guides who provided interesting commentary, making the journey enjoyable. The water buffalo cart, in particular, travels between Yubu Island, enhancing the experience with a lot of local charm. The lunch was also satisfactory in both quantity and quality.
予想より良かったです。
石垣島からの行き帰りの船は満席にならずゆったり座れる。
マングローブ遊覧船、水牛車、その間の移動バスなど各々の添乗員さんがしっかりお話ししてくれるので道中飽きない。
特に水牛車は三線を引き立つ由布島を往来するので情緒たっぷり。
お昼ご飯もそれなりな量と質で満足。
I chose to explore Taketomi Island on foot. There is a bus that goes to the sandy beach on the opposite side, so you can use that, and on the way back, you can check out the shops on the island before
竹富島は徒歩での自由行動を選びました。
反対側の砂浜まではバスがあるのでそれを利用しつつ、帰りは島内の商店などを見つつ港まで戻れます。
ですが、徒歩は思ったより歩くのでしっかりした靴がいいです。

I participated in a morning mangrove canoe activity. We were transported by bus from the port to the mangroves, and the explanations were thorough and easy to understand, allowing us to fully enjoy the activity! There were multiple groups participating, but three instructors were present, ensuring we had plenty of fun. Instructor Rui taught us a lot about canoeing, the mangroves, and Iriomote Island itself, making it easy for beginners to enjoy the natural beauty of Iriomote without feeling nervous. I would love to come back! Thank you very much!
午前中のみのマングローブカヌーアクティビティに参加しました。港からマングローブまではバスで送っていただき、説明も丁寧でわかりやすくアクティビティの時間を満喫できました!複数グループ参加者がいましたが3名のインストラクターさんがついてくださり、十分に楽しめます。インストラクターのるいさんがカヌーの漕ぎ方からマングローブ、西表島自体のことをたくさん教えてくださり初心者でも緊張することなく西表の自然を味わえるのでまた来たいと思いました!ありがとうございました!

I visited the three islands for the first time and was able to relax in a truly unique space! The mangrove tour, water buffalo experience, and cycling around Taketomi Island for free exploration were all refreshing, and I'm glad I signed up for them! I definitely want to go again!
初めて3島に行き、とっても異空間でのんびりと過ごすことができました!
マングローブ遊覧、水牛体験、竹富島でのサイクリングで自由散策どれも新鮮で申し込んでよかったです!
また行きたいなと思いました!
If you consider the allocation of your free time, you can make it fulfilling!
自由時間の時間配分を考えれば、充実できる!

It felt like a university club atmosphere (they were trying to liven things up), but I would have preferred to enjoy nature in a more relaxed setting. Being quiet might increase the chances of encountering the Iriomote cat. I could have enjoyed the sounds of owls and other wild birds more as well. It might depend on the guide.
大学のサークルみたいなノリで(盛り上げようとしてくれたのでしょうが)、もっと落ち着いた雰囲気の中で自然鑑賞したかったです。静かにしている方が、イリオモテヤマネコなどに遭遇できる可能性もあがるのでは。フクロウなど野鳥の声ももっと楽しめたはず。ガイドの方によるのかもしれません。

Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island were all amazing to visit, and riding the water buffalo cart was fantastic. I wasn't expecting much from the lunch bento, but it was delicious, so I was satisfied. The boat does sway, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious.
西表島、由布島、竹富島と三島も行けて水牛車にも乗れてとても最高でした。昼食もお弁当であまり期待していませんでしたが美味しかったので満足です。船は揺れるので船酔いする方は注意です。
If you want to explore Taketomi Island, I think it's efficient to reserve a bicycle since time is limited.
竹富島は島を周遊したい場合は時間がないので自転車を予約するのが効率いいかと思います。

I saw rare subtropical creatures like coconut crabs. That night, I also had the very precious experience of witnessing a sea turtle laying eggs. The sight of the mother turtle powerfully digging into the sand was moving.
ヤシガニなど亜熱帯の珍しい生物をみました。この夜はウミガメの産卵に立ち会うという、とても貴重な体験もしました。力強く砂をかき出す母ガメの姿は感動的でした。

While heading to Iriomote Island, I was sitting in a seat on the ocean side at the back of the boat, enjoying the view of the sea, when a sudden wave soaked me completely. However, I was healed by the beautiful sea, the pleasant breeze, and the surrounding islands.
Once we arrived at Iriomote Island, we quickly used the restroom, and the mangrove tour began. The boatman was very skilled at storytelling, making it a lot of fun. I've heard that the atmosphere changes between high and low tide, so I definitely want to see it at a different time.
After the mangrove tour, we headed to the water buffalo cart boarding area near Yubu Island by tourist bus, and the bus driver's stories were also entertaining. During the journey to Yubu Island, the water buffalo cart driver shared trivia and played the sanshin, making it quite varied. The water buffalo walked through the water without a care, even when the tide was high. The water buffalo resting on the island were also very cute. There seemed to be quite a bit of time for exploration, which passed quickly as we took photos with the water buffalo and looked at souvenirs. Next time I come, I plan to decide on the points to stop at in advance to make the most of my time.
On the day we visited, a tsunami warning was issued, and after leaving Yubu Island, we ended up going to the island's evacuation center, which turned out to be a valuable experience (if things had gone as planned, we wouldn't have stopped at the exchange center, and it was fun with the atmosphere reminiscent of an old-fashioned nature house for boys). The subsequent trip to Taketomi Island was canceled, and we returned to Ishigaki Port, but the staff's response was quick and very reassuring. Despite the natural disaster, we received a partial refund the next day, and I think the service was just as excellent as the tour itself. I would love to use this service again next time!

西表島に向かう際、客室の外(船の後方)、海側の座席で海を眺めていたら急な波でびしょぬれになってしまいました。しかし綺麗な海や心地よい風そして周りの島々に癒されました。
西表島に着いたらトイレを済ませてすぐにマングローブ遊覧がはじまります。船頭さんの話がうまくてとても楽しめます。満潮と干潮で雰囲気も異なるそうなので、別のタイミングでもぜひ見てみたいところです。
マングローブ遊覧が終わると油布島近くの水牛車乗り場まで観光バスで向かいますが、バスの運転手さんの話がこれまた面白いです。油布島までの道中は、水牛車のお兄さんによって雑学を披露してくれたり、三線を弾いてくれたり様々です。水牛たちは潮が満ちていても何のそのでじゃぶじゃぶ歩いてくれます。島で休んでいる水牛たちもとてもキュートでした。散策時間が結構あるようですぐに過ぎてしまうので(水牛と写真を撮ったりお土産をみたりで)、次回来るときは立ち寄るポイントをあらかじめ決めておいて効率よくまわろうと思います。
私たちが訪れた日、ちょうど津波注意報が発表され、油布島を出たあと島の避難所に行くことになってしまったのですがそれはそれで貴重な経験でした(予定通りだと交流センターに立ち寄ることはありませんし、昔ながらの少年自然の家のような雰囲気で楽しかったです)。
その後の竹富島は中止になって石垣港へ戻ることになりましたが、スタッフの方々の対応も素早くとても安心できました。
自然災害にもかかわらず、翌日一部返金のお知らせをいただきツアーの内容と同じくらいサービスも最高だと思います。
次回もまた利用させていただきたいです!!

If you use the hotel shuttle service, they will pick you up in a large tour bus. There are various companies providing shuttle services, so it can be a bit nerve-wracking waiting for your pickup, but
