I participated in a tour that covered Ishigaki Island, Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. I was really grateful that it included all the remote islands I wanted to visit and allowed us to explore efficiently!
The great nature of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island, and actually riding a water buffalo on Taketomi Island created wonderful memories.
However, I felt a bit regretful that if we had a little more time on Taketomi Island, we could have explored other places as well. That said, I was very satisfied with how fulfilling the day was!
石垣島から、西表島・由布島・竹富島をめぐるツアーに参加しました。
行きたかった離島を全部網羅してくれていて、効率よく回れたのが本当にありがたかったです!
西表島の大自然、由布島の水牛車、そして竹富島では実際に水牛に乗れて、すごくいい思い出になりました。
ただ、竹富島ではもう少し時間があれば、他の場所も見て回れたかなぁ…と少しだけ名残惜しさもありました。
とはいえ、1日でここまで充実していたのは大満足でした!

I was busy visiting three islands in one day, but I was able to efficiently see the highlights, which made me excited for my next trip as a first-time visitor. Riding the water buffalo cart was a lot of fun since it was my first time. While traveling to Yubu Island on the water buffalo cart, I discovered a fiddler crab. I was moved to see the fiddler crab, which I had only known from songs, right in front of me! The oil miso from Yubu Island that we had on the tour was exquisite. I couldn't help but buy some at the souvenir shop. I was torn between exploring the mangroves of Iriomote Island by canoe or kayak or taking a sightseeing boat, but choosing this tour was definitely the right decision for me. It was great to ride the boat and leisurely reflect on the mangrove ecosystem while listening to the guide's explanations. The bus driver's sightseeing commentary while traveling on Iriomote Island was also outstanding. Although it was a short time, I was able to learn more about Iriomote Island than what is in the guidebooks.
一日で3つの島を回るので忙しかったです。が、見どころを効率よく見れたので初めて訪れた旅行者には次回の旅行への期待が膨らみました。水牛車に乗るのは初めてだったのでとても楽しかったです。由布島に水牛車で移動中に、シオマネキを発見。これまで歌でしか知らなかったシオマネキを目の前で見ることができ感動!ツアーで食べた由布島の油味噌は絶品でした。思わず土産物屋で買ってしまいました。西表島のマングローブをカヌーやカヤックで巡るか観光ボートにするか迷ったけどこのツアーにして私は大正解。ボートに乗り、船頭さんの解説を聞きながらゆったりとマングローブの生態系に思いを馳せれたのはよかったです。西表島を移動中のバスの運転手さんの観光案内も大変すばらしかったです。短い時間ですが西表島のことをガイドブック以上に知ることができました。
いろいろな所を効率よく巡るので、時間のない方や初めての方にお勧めです。

I was worried that the tour of the three islands would be hectic, but overall, it was a well-organized and incredibly smooth experience! The staff were friendly, and the guide was experienced and easy to understand, making it enjoyable even for first-timers. I felt that the free time on Taketomi Island went by too quickly, and it would have been nice to have a bit more time, but it was still a very enjoyable tour!
3島を回るツアーで慌ただしくないか心配でしたが、全体的に流れに無駄がなく、凄くスムーズで完成されたツアーでした!スタッフの方も親切で、ガイドの方もベテランでわかりやすく、初めてでも最高に楽しめます👍竹富島のフリータイムがあっという間でもう少し長いと良かったと感じましたが、それでもとても楽しめるツアーでした!!
You can enjoy it with peace of mind, even if it's your first time.

I thoroughly enjoyed Iriomote Island and Yufu Island. I had experienced them once during my student days, but experiencing them again as an adult made me see things differently, and my sensibilities have changed, so it felt fresh again.

As a person in my 60s traveling alone, I was initially worried about the meeting point, bus station, and restrooms, but everything was taken into consideration. The water buffalo cart that I was looking forward to was wonderful, and what exceeded my expectations was the bus tour of Iriomote Island with the driver's guidance. I was also able to see the butterflies I wanted to see during my free time on Yubu Island. Although the ferry ride between Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands was long, I enjoyed it, and I'm dreaming of a trip where I can stay on Iriomote Island next time.
60代、1人参加なので集合場所やバス乗り場、お手洗いなど不安でしたが全てに配慮されていました。
楽しみにしていた水牛車はもちろん、予想以上に良かったのは西表島のバス観光で運転手さんのガイド。由布島での自由時間に見たかった蝶を見れた事。
石垣と西表島の船の時間が長いことも楽しみながら、次は西表島に滞在する旅も夢見ています。
I think it would be helpful to prepare for the temperature difference between the heat outside and the bus by using appropriate clothing and items.
外の暑さとバスなどの温度差対策、服装やグッズで少しでも対策できると楽かなと思います。

We were considering traveling to Iriomote Island as a family, but since my elderly mother was with us, we decided to join a tour. The staff member who came to pick us up at the hotel had a wonderful smile that left a lasting impression, and I was moved to see that they also handled the boat operations. I'm sure all the staff are well-rounded individuals. They worked efficiently and responsibly. The explanations from the tour guide on the Nakama River were very easy to understand, and the time spent riding the water buffalo to Yubu Island calmed my usually restless heart. On the return boat, the splashes of water felt refreshing, making it a unique experience especially during the hot season. Thanks to participating in this tour, we were able to spend a happy time. Thank you very much. I would like to go to Ishigaki Island, Iriomote Island, and Yubu Island again on this tour.
西表島へは家族で行動しようと考えていたのですが、高齢の母が一緒だったこともありツアーに参加することにしました。ホテルまでお迎えに来てくださったスタッフの方の素敵な笑顔が印象的で、その方が船の業務もこなしているのを見て感動しました。きっとどのスタッフの方もオールラウンダーなのでしょう。テキパキと責任を持って働いていらっしゃいました。仲間川ではツアーガイドをされている方の説明も非常にわかりやすく、水牛に乗って由布島へ行く時間は日頃の荒ぶった心を穏やかにしてくれました。帰りのボートでは水飛沫がとても気持ちよく暑い時期だからこその体験が出来ました。このツアーに参加できたおかげで幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。またこのツアーで石垣島、西表島、由布島へ行きたいと思います。
Since there is little time to look at souvenirs at Ōhara Port on the way back, I think it's better to use the restroom at Yufu Island to secure some time.
帰りの大原港ではお土産を見る時間が少ないのでトイレは由布島で行き、時間を確保した方がいいと思いました。

▪︎Mangrove Tour
Since I had experienced mangrove kayaking the day before, I thought the mangrove tour would be redundant. However, the captain's detailed explanations were wonderful! I was able to gain new knowledge, and it was enjoyable.
▪︎Bus Tour
The female driver on the bus tour was also fantastic. While driving, she provided bright and entertaining explanations, keeping us engaged the whole time. We arrived at the next destination in no time. Unfortunately, we didn't see any animals like wild boars. On the way back, there wasn't much talking, but I was impressed by her gentle announcements to comfort a child who was fussing. The child stopped crying, didn't they? (^ -^)
▪︎Yufu Island
I was able to see the elusive flower, Sagarihana! In the area marked "Sagarihana" on the map, it wasn't blooming yet, but a female staff member told me, "You might see it in the butterfly garden!" Perhaps because it was in a greenhouse? Despite being early in mid-June, I was able to see beautiful flowers. Although they had already fallen by noon, I was moved by their beauty. I was also happy to hear that the water buffaloes live peacefully after retirement. I hope they don't overload the water buffalo carts and minimize their burden... Or are they okay with carrying that many people? It would be nice to have an explanation to ease the worries of those like me who might be concerned.
▪︎Lunch Box
It was more delicious than I expected! The fried items were crispy, and the miso soup was warm. I was satisfied with the portion size, but I thought it would be nice if those with smaller appetites could notify in advance about the amount of rice.
▪︎Taketomi Island
Complete free time. First, I boarded a glass-bottom boat. I was able to board without a reservation. The underwater scenery was quite different from Kabira Bay, and I enjoyed that difference. I heard there is an underwater volcano that produces hot springs! I was able to see something rare. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
Next, I rented a bicycle, but the ground was gravel, which was very scary. I didn't have the luxury to look at the map while pedaling, so I couldn't complete a full loop. I didn't find any particularly nice spots and couldn't enjoy it. Also, when I took a slightly narrower path, there were water buffaloes blocking the road. They didn't seem to be tied up, and while they were cute and relaxed, I started to worry about whether it was okay. I had heard on Yufu Island that water buffaloes dislike being touched and can injure people with their horns, so I was concerned that tourists might unknowingly touch them.
▪︎マングローブ遊覧
前日にマングローブカヤックを体験していたため、マングローブ遊覧は被るなぁと思っていました。が、船長さんの説明が詳しくて素晴らしかったです!また新しい知識を得ることができ、楽しかった。
▪︎バスツアー
バスツアーの女性運転手さんも素晴らしかった。運転しながら、明るく楽しい説明とお話で、少しも飽きさせず。あっという間に次の目的地へ着きました。残念ながら、イノシシなどの動物は見られなかった。帰路は特にお話はなかったが、お子様がぐずったタイミングで優しくフォローするようなアナウンスをされていたことが印象的だった。お子様、泣き止んでいましたね(^-^)
▪︎由布島
幻のお花、サガリバナを見ることができた!マップに書いてある「サガリバナ」エリアではまだ咲いていませんでしたが、スタッフの女性が、「蝶々園なら見られるかも!」と教えて下さった。温室だからか?6月中旬と早い時期にも関わらず、しっかりお花がみられました。すでにお昼頃なので、下に落ちていたものの、美しくて感激した。水牛達は、引退後は穏やかに余生を過ごすと聞けたこともうれしかった。願わくば、水牛車は満員にせず、なるべく負担をかけないであげてください…。もしくは、あれだけたくさんの人を乗せても平気なのか?私のように心配してしまう人もいるので、不要な心配しなくていいよう、ご説明いただけるとうれしい。
▪︎お弁当
期待以上に美味しかった!揚げ物はサクサク、お味噌汁も温かく。ボリュームがあって満足ですが、ご飯の量は少食の方は事前に申告できたらいいなぁと思った。
▪︎竹富島
完全なフリータイム。まずはグラスボートに乗船。予約なしで乗れた。海底の様子が川平湾とだいぶ違っており、その違いを楽しめた。温泉が出る海底火山があるとか!珍しいものを見れた。ウミガメには残念ながら会えず。
次にレンタサイクルを借りたものの、地面が砂利道でとても怖い。自転車を漕ぎながらマップを見る余裕もなく、一周はできなかった。特に良い場所は見つからず、楽しめなかった。また、少し細い道を通ると、水牛が道を塞ぐようにいた。特にロープで繋がれている感じもなく、伸び伸びしていて可愛らしいけど、大丈夫なのか心配になった。水牛は触られるのが苦手で、角でついて人に怪我をさせることがあると由布島で聞いていたため、観光客など、知らずに触ってしまうのではないかと。

I’m not sure if this is the case every time, but the bus this time had slightly wider seats in the back. Just for your reference.

Since it was the year-end and New Year holidays, the shops listed in the guidebook were closed, so I joined a tour.
In Iriomote, I heard stories about the Iriomote cat, and the mangrove cruise offered beautiful views that I wouldn't normally see. In Yufu and Taketomi, I enjoyed sightseeing while riding on a water buffalo cart. I didn't have time to collect star sand to fill a bottle, so I bought some as a souvenir. The gelato at Yufu Island Chaya was also delicious, so I recommend it!
年末年始だったので、ガイドブックに載っているようなお店はお休みだったので、ツアーに参加しました。
西表ではイリオモテヤマネコの話を聞いたり、マングローブ遊覧も普段見ることのない景色が見れて素敵でした。由布・竹富では水牛車に乗り、観光を楽しめました。
星の砂を瓶いっぱいに集める時間がなかったので、そこは購入してお土産に★
由布島茶屋のジェラートも美味しかったので、オススメです!
How you spend your time on Yufu Island can vary. If you want to be active and explore many sights on the island, renting a bicycle is recommended! The attractions are surprisingly far apart.
由布島での過ごし方の選び方で変わってきます。アクティブに島内を移動してたくさん観光したければ、レンタサイクルがオススメです!見どころが意外と遠いです。

I traveled alone freely and had a great time. Choosing the bus tour on Taketomi Island was the right decision. Even though it was before the rainy season, cycling in the strong midday sun would have been exhausting due to the heat. The bus driver guided us through the village and to the star sand beach, and most importantly, we could cool off once we returned to the bus. I didn't have high expectations for lunch on Yubu Island, but I was completely wrong; it was very delicious. There was also a guide that matched the dishes with explanations, so I was able to learn the names of Ryukyu cuisine and truly enjoy it. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island coincided with high tide, so we couldn't see the features, but just listening to the guide's many explanations was a valuable experience. Even as a solo traveler, I was able to enjoy talking with local staff, guides, and other participants in the same tour, asking for photos, and there was no time to feel lonely. I think it's great that you can smoothly visit three islands. Considering the ferry fees and various other costs, the tour price is reasonable and offers good value. I recommend it for those who are not into active activities like stand-up paddleboarding or diving while sightseeing in Ishigaki Island.
自由気ままに一人旅での利用でしたが、存分に楽しめました。竹富島では、バス観光を選び正解でした。梅雨入り前ではあっても、日中の強い日差しの中でサイクリングとかは暑さでバテそう…。バスの運転手さんが、集落や星砂浜を案内してくれるし、何よりバス車内に戻れば涼が得られました。由布島のランチは期待していなかったけれど、それは大間違いでとても美味しかったです。そしてお料理と照らし合わせができる案内が用意されていたので、琉球料理の名前もわかり堪能できました。西表島のマングローブの遊覧は、満潮と重なり特徴は見られなかったけれど、ガイドさんのたくさんの解説を聞いたりするだけでも貴重な体験で良かったです。一人でも現地スタッフの方やガイドの方、また同じツアー参加者とお話ししたり、写真をお願いしたりして十分楽しめます。寂しい思いをする暇はありませんでした。スムーズに3島をまわれるのでとても良いと思います。フェリー代とか色々考えるとツアー料金はそこそこしますがお得な内容でした。石垣島観光でサップとかダイビングとかアクティブなことが苦手な方にはお勧めです。
It's obvious, but measures against heat, sunburn, and insects are essential. I didn't feel any shaking, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to take precautions.
当たり前ですが、暑さ対策、日焼け対策、虫除けは必須
揺れとかは感じませんでしたが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は対策されると良いと思います

This tour is excellent because it allows you to visit three islands in one go. The experience with the water buffalo, in particular, became the highlight of my trip to Ishigaki Island.
このツアーひとつで3島回れるので非常に良いツアーです。
なかでも水牛の体験は石垣島旅行のハイライトになりました。

マングローブは素晴らしかったし、水牛の乗馬はユニークでした。竹富島を自転車で回るのも楽しかったし、最高のマンゴースムージーを飲みました!
Mangroves were cool, the water buffalo ride was unique, riding bikes around Taketomi was fun, and had the best mango smoothie ever!

The highlight of this tour is definitely the "water buffalo cart." It's fascinating to see the water buffalo, which you can't encounter on the mainland, and the explanations about their characteristics were both interesting and informative. The descriptions were detailed and delivered in a humorous way, so I never got bored. The sanshin music and folk songs, as well as the island songs, were also great here.
このツアーの目玉はなんといっても、「水牛車」でしょう。本土ではお目にかかれない水牛、水牛の特徴などの説明が面白くタメになるし、説明もコミカルに詳細説明されていたのであきなかった。
ここでも三線と民謡、島唄がよかったです。

I went on a free plan to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. The weather was nice, and the scenery was beautiful; it was the best. On Taketomi Island, I rode a water buffalo for 30 minutes, and then I had a plan with a rental bicycle, but I wished I had more time. I couldn't visit all the places I wanted to. I want to go again next time.
西表島、由布島、竹富島フリープランで行きました。お天気も良くて景色も綺麗で最高でした。竹富島では水牛に30分乗ってあとはレンタルサイクルでのプランでしたが、もっと時間が欲しかったです。行きたいところ全ては回れませんでした。
次の機会に行きたいです。
I visited at the end of May, and the UV rays were quite strong.
5月末に行きましたが、紫外線はかなりきつかったです。

It was the last day of my trip, so I opted for a two-island tour, and it was a thoroughly satisfying journey. The mangrove cruise was interesting thanks to the guide's explanations, and the timing was just right. The water buffalo cart ride was also a lot of fun. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be delicious. Next, I would like to visit Taketomi Island as well.
旅行最終日だったので、2島ツアーにしましたが充分に満足出来る旅でした。
マングローブ遊覧はガイドさんの説明も興味深く時間的にもちょうどいい感じでした。水牛車もとても楽しかったです。
お昼ご飯もあまり期待はしていなかったのですが美味しかったです。
次は竹富島にも行ってみたいです。
