Iriomote_island
It's an ambitious course that you can't fully explore in a day, yet somehow time moves slowly. Starting with a mangrove jungle cruise, I was surprisingly relaxed on the water buffalo cart, and cycling on Taketomi Island was refreshing! Each of the three places had a different vibe and atmosphere, and I was very satisfied!
自分では、1日で周りきれない欲張りコースなのに、何故か時間がゆっくり動きます。マングローブのジャングルクルーズから始まり、水牛車には自分でもびっくりするほど癒されて、竹富島ではサイクリングでスカッとしました〜。
3箇所全部違う顔、雰囲気があり大変満足でした！

It's a shame the weather wasn't clear. I was healed by the cuteness of the water buffalo. The golden chrysalis was surprising! It was impressive.
お天気がカラッととはいかなかったのが残念。水牛の可愛さに癒されました。金色のサナギが驚き‼️印象的でした。

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

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。

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。

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。
Translated by OpenAI
The mangrove cruise was disappointing because we couldn't go upstream due to low tide, but it was nice to have various explanations about the types of mangroves.
I enjoyed riding the water buffalo cart, feeling the sea breeze while listening to the stories from the guide and the sound of the sanshin, which made for a relaxing time.
On Taketomi Island, I rode a bicycle to enjoy the island's scenery and ended up getting caught up in searching for star sand.
The only downside was that at Yubu Island, during the typical tourist photo opportunity, we had to wait a long time in the intense sunlight with poor ventilation and no shade. I think photo sessions should be limited to those who want to take pictures. After lunch, we had less than 30 minutes for sightseeing, so I felt that the time spent waiting was a waste. It was disappointing to not have enough time to see the places I wanted to visit on the island.
マングローブクルーズは干潮時に当たった為、上流の方まで行けなくて残念でしたが、マングローブの種類など色々説明があって良かったです。
水牛が一生懸命引いてくれる水牛車に乗り、海風を感じながら、おじさんの話や三線を聞き、のんびりした時間が過ごせました。
竹富島では自転車で島の景色を見ながら回って歩き、最後は星砂探しに夢中になってしまいました。
ただ一つ残念だったのは、由布島で観光地に良くある記念撮影の時に強烈な日差しの中、風通しも悪く日陰もない中を長々と待たされた事です。写真撮影は撮りたい人だけにした方がいいと思います。昼食を食べた後、観光する時間が30分もなかったので、あの待たされた時間がもったいなかったと思いました。島を観て回りたくても時間がなく観たい所が見れずに終わってしまい残念でした。

I participated on the 12th during my stay from August 11th to 14th. We left early in the morning, and the boat ride was quite rocky, which made both my child and me a bit anxious. I'm glad I took motion sickness medication. The water buffalo I wanted to ride allowed us to leisurely experience the essence of Okinawa. I thought it would have been nice if there were lunch boxes prepared for children.
8月11日〜14日の滞在で、12日に参加しました。
朝早くに出発で、行きの船は朝のせいか結構揺れて私も子供もちょっと不安でした。酔い止め飲んどいて良かったです。乗ってみたかった水牛は、のんびり沖縄らしさを味わえました。お昼ごはんのお弁当？は、子供用の用意とかあれば良かったなぁと思います。

It was my first time in the Yaeyama Islands, and I was glad to be able to explore multiple islands at once. Cycling in the sunshine was fun, but it was hot. Writing a comment longer than 50 characters is tough.

I had a great time efficiently visiting three remote islands for the first time. I was able to enjoy sightseeing without feeling rushed.
During the ferry ride, I was on the deck, but the wind was quite strong, so it might have been better to sit inside. I was satisfied with exploring Taketomi Island freely by renting a bicycle.
初めての離島を3島を効率よく回れて楽しかったです。時間もせわしないこともなく観光ができました。
移動時間のフェリーではデッキにいたので風がすごすぎるため、中に座った方が良かったかもしれないです。竹富島はレンタサイクルで自由に散策できて満足でした。

I thought it would be a busier tour, but I was able to take my time and really enjoy the mangroves. The guide's explanations were clear and enjoyable, which was great.
The view from Nishizaki Pier on Taketomi Island, which I've always dreamed of visiting, was just as wonderful as I expected, and I was very satisfied.
The Okinawa zenzai I had on Taketomi Island, with its fluffy ice and brown sugar syrup, was exquisite❣ I had a full day of fun.
もっと忙しいツアーかと思っていましたが、じっくりマングローブを見てきました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく楽しくて良かったです。
憧れの竹富島、西桟橋からの眺めは思っていたとおりの素晴らしさ大満足です。
竹富島で食べた沖縄ぜんざい、フワフワの氷と黒糖シロップがぜんざいと絶妙❣ 1日たっぷり楽しめました

I participated alone this time, but they were very considerate towards individuals! The guides were also very kind and even though they seemed busy, they responded with care! This experience made me want to join another tour on a different occasion! I highly recommend it!

I was able to efficiently visit the attractions of the islands. We crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo, but water flowed into the seats, so I recommend participating with shoes that can get wet. The water buffalo was very cute (*^^*). On Taketomi Island, I chose the cycling plan. I went to look for star sand, but it seemed like many had already been collected, so I couldn't find as much as I expected (^^; Also, I got lost on the way back to the bicycle rental shop and was worried about making it back in time for the meeting, so I think those who are not confident in their sense of direction should allow extra time on the way back. It was a very enjoyable tour!
効率よく、島々の見所を観光できました。由布島まで水牛に乗って渡るのですが、水が座席にまで流れ込んできますので濡れてもいい靴での参加をオススメします。水牛がとっても可愛かったです(*^^*)竹富島ではサイクリングプランを選択しました。星の砂を探しに行ったのですが、もうたくさん拾われてしまったのか、思ったよりも見つかりませんでした(^^;また、自転車レンタル店舗へ戻るまでの道に迷い、集合に間に合うか焦ってしまったので、方向感覚に自信の無い肩は帰り道は時間に余裕を持って行動した方がいいと思います。とても楽しいツアーでした！

The Nakama River Mangrove Cruise features an open sightseeing boat, and the tropical river and sea breezes felt wonderful. The water buffalo cart on Yufu Island brought smiles and happiness to the faces of the guests. The water buffalo worked hard to cross the sea. Renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island was hot, but I was able to directly feel the atmosphere of the village. However, be cautious of traffic accidents, as light vehicles can come out of intersections quite suddenly.
仲間川マングローブクルーズは、オープンの観光船で、熱帯の川風、海風が気持ちがよかった。
由布島の水牛車は、お客さんの顔はハッピーという笑顔があふれてました。
水牛が頑張って海を渡ってゆきました。
竹富島のレンタサイクル。暑かったが、村の雰囲気を肌に直に感じることができました。ただし、交通事故要注意。交差点から軽四が勢いよく出てきたりする・・

It was my first time on Ishigaki Island.
I was able to spend a satisfying day.
If the weather had been good, I would have been very satisfied (laughs).
Even participating alone, I could stroll around without any stress.

I enjoyed the island hopping, but I felt there was a bit too much traveling. However, I was satisfied with taking photos with the water buffalo and experiencing the islands!

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and since I was traveling with my 85-year-old mother, I chose this tour because it was not too strenuous and allowed us to visit various places.
Even though it was a tour, I appreciated that the transportation was well arranged at key points, giving it a feel of personal exploration. I think it would be impossible to travel this efficiently on our own.
During the mangrove cruising, I felt like I was traveling through a jungle river in another country. On the water buffalo cart, I was lucky enough to sit at the very front both going and returning, so I could enjoy the scenery of the island straight ahead as the water buffalo's rear, shoulders, and horns swayed gently.
On Taketomi Island, we went cycling. It was challenging for my mother, but we took it slow, sometimes getting off to push the bike, and enjoyed the charming houses, the lush large trees of the south, and the unique shisa statues. At Kaiji Beach, we were also able to look for star sand. It was great that we could choose a return boat that was an hour later.
Thank you for the wonderful memories!
はじめての石垣島に加えて、85才の母との旅行でしたので、あまりきつくなくて、かつ色々な場所を訪れることのできるこのツアーを選びました、
ツアーとはいえ、要所要所要所で移動手段がきちんと手配してある個人行動という感じが良かったです。
個人でこれだけ効率よく巡ることは無理だと思います。
マングローブクルージングでは
何だかどこか別の国のジャングルの川を旅している気分。
水牛車では行きも帰りも運良く1番前に座れましたので、のんびり進んでいく水牛のお尻や肩や角が揺れるたびに近づいていく島の景色を、真っ直ぐ前から楽しめました。
竹富島ではサイクリング。
母には大変でしたが
ゆっくり、時々降りて押したりしながら
風情ある家並み、生い茂る南の大きな木々、個性的なシーサーを楽しめました。
カイジ浜では星砂もさがせました。
サイクリングは、帰る船を1時間遅く選択出来るのも良かったです。
最高の思い出をありがとうございました！

I thought the tour that visits three islands in one day was very efficient. During the mangrove cruise, the guide provided explanations, allowing us to learn a lot, and we were able to reach a rare tree (I forgot the name...) that we couldn't access during low tide, which was great.
When crossing to Yubu Island, we rode a water buffalo cart and enjoyed a leisurely time while listening to Okinawan folk songs. I noticed that there was a family tree for the water buffaloes, and each one had a proper name, which made me realize how well they are cared for.
On Taketomi Island, I chose the glass-bottom boat and bus tour. The glass-bottom boat swayed a bit. I was expecting to see beautiful coral reefs, but I learned that the corals have died off and are currently slowly regenerating. While I was able to see sea anemones, clownfish, and colorful fish, it felt a bit lacking.
The microbus tour taught us about the lives of the people on Taketomi Island and allowed us to find star sand, making for an efficient and easy sightseeing experience.
Although it was a brief visit to the three islands, I recommend this tour as it guides you through the highlights of each.
一日で3つの島を廻ってくるツアーで効率が良いと思いました。
マングローブクルーズではガイドの説明が有るためよく知ることが出来、引き潮ではたどり着けない珍しい木（名前忘れました・・）のところまで行くこともできとても良かったです。
由布島へ渡る時には水牛車に乗り沖縄民謡を聞きながらゆったりとした時間を楽しみました。水牛の家系図が有り一頭ずつきちんと名前が付けられ、とても大切にされているのだなと思いました。
竹富島ではグラスボートとバス観光を選びました。
グラスボートはちょっぴり揺れます。
サンゴ礁の美しい海を期待していたのですが、サンゴが死滅し現在は少しづつ再生してきているとのことでした。イソギンチャクとクマノミや色鮮やかな魚は見ることが出来ましたがちょっと物足りないかも。
マイクロバスで竹富島の人々の生活を教えてくれたり星の砂を見つけたりとこれもまた効率よく楽に観光出来ました。
３島をさらっとではありましたがそれぞれの見どころを案内してくれるこのツアーをお勧めします。
