It was a very windy day, and the boat ride from Ishigaki to Iriomote was extremely bumpy. (This was due to the weather, and not because of any issues with the tour!) It felt like being on a roller coaster, and even though I took motion sickness medication beforehand, it was quite tough. There were quite a few screams echoing inside the boat.
After a challenging journey, we finally arrived at Iriomote Island, but I felt unwell for a while. In my case, I had to take a mangrove cruise right away, which made me fearful of being on another boat, but this one was stable and well-ventilated, so I was okay.
After that, I was able to enjoy the tour smoothly!
I was very worried about the return trip to Taketomi Island, but the wind calmed down, and the boat was less rocky, so it was fine.
On Taketomi Island, I had chosen a free walk option because the bus tours were fully booked at the time of reservation, but it was a hot day, making walking quite difficult. We walked to the center, but my child got tired, and we didn't feel like walking to the beach, so we turned back and returned.
During the hot season, if you're good with the heat, renting a bicycle might be a good option, but there are quite a few hills, so that could also be tough.
風の強い日だった為、石垣~西表までの船がもの凄い揺れでした。
(※天候のせいであって、ツアーが悪いわけではありません!)
ジェットコースターに乗っている様で、酔い止めを飲んでから乗ったにも関わらず、かなり辛かったです。
船の中で結構悲鳴が響いていました。
やっとの思いで西表島に着いて、しばらく具合が悪く、私の場合はすぐにマングローブの遊覧船だったので、また船かと恐怖でしたが、こちらは揺れずに、風通しも良い船だったので、大丈夫でした。
その後は順調にツアーを楽しめました!
帰りの竹富島までの移動がとても心配でしたが、風が落ち着いて、船の揺れも少なくて、大丈夫でした。
竹富島では、予約時にはバスツアーがもういっぱいで、フリーウォークを選択しましたが、暑い日だったので歩くのが大変でした。
中心部まで歩きましたが、子供が疲れてしまい、ビーチ等まで歩く気が起きずに、そのまま引き返して帰りました。
暑い季節は、暑さに強い方はレンタサイクルでもいいかもしれませんが、坂道多めなので、それも辛いかもしれません。

The mangrove tour was fascinating. We were able to observe the roots well at low tide. I've heard that the characteristic roots of the mangroves are not visible at high tide, so I think participating on a day when low tide occurs from the morning to noon would be more enjoyable. The ox cart on Yubu Island was peaceful, and it truly looked like a slow-life scene straight out of a guidebook. I didn't have high expectations for the lunch bento since it was part of the tour, but it was very delicious, featuring local ingredients. The glass-bottom boat tour in Taketomi Island was great; the captain was very knowledgeable about where to find fish, and we were able to see a lot of tropical fish, which made my elementary school-aged child very happy.
マングローブツアーが興味深いです。ちょうど干潮のタイミングで、根っ子がよく観察できました。満潮だとマングローブの特徴の根っ子が見えないそうなので、午前中からお昼にかけて干潮になる日に参加した方がより楽しめると思います。由布島の牛車も長閑で、まさにガイドブックで見るスローライフの景色そのものでした。昼食の弁当はツアーなのであまり期待していませんでしたが、地元の食材を使った品々でとても美味しかったです。竹富島のグラスボートは船長さんが魚がいるポイントを熟知していらっしゃって熱帯魚を沢山見ることができ、小学生の子供も大喜びでした。

It was in the order of Ishigaki > Iriomote > Yufu > Taketomi!
On Iriomote, not only did we take a boat, but the bus driver also guided us during the ride, and we got to hear various stories.
In Taketomi, I chose to do a free walk, but my legs were completely exhausted, so I ended up renting a bicycle on-site.
I felt it might have been better to have that arranged from the start.
石垣〉西表〉由布〉竹富〉石垣の順でした!
西表では船はもちろん、バス移動の間も運転手さんがガイドしてくださり、色んなお話しが聞けました。
竹富ではフリーウォークを選択しましたが、足が疲れ切っていたので、結局現地でレンタサイクルを借りました。
最初からつけといてもいいかも?と感じました。

I joined this tour because I wanted to ride a water buffalo cart. It's efficient since you can visit three islands in one day. There was enough time on Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much time on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo cart ride I was looking forward to was very pleasant.

Among the many remote islands, I was able to enjoy a compact and well-planned sightseeing experience. It was my first visit to Ishigaki Island, and I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the nature and scenery of the Yaeyama Islands, as well as the unique charm of each island. I absolutely recommend it.
On the ferry to Iriomote Island, I paid 500 yen for a premium seat, and the view from next to the captain's seat was amazing. I was moved to be able to take commemorative photos.
The mangrove forest made me truly feel like I was in a tropical paradise, and the water buffalo on Yubu Island were incredibly cute. The relaxed atmosphere and the songs played on the sanshin added to the ambiance.
On the glass-bottom boat in Taketomi, I was able to see many fish, including the clownfish. Everything was just fantastic.
離島がいくつもある中で、計画的にコンパクトに観光ができました。初めて訪れた石垣島でしたが、八重山の自然と景色の美しさ、それぞれの島の良さを堪能することができました。絶対オススメです。西表島に渡る船では500円出してプレミアムシートにしましたが、船長席の脇から眺める景色は最高でした。記念撮影をさせていただき感動でした。
マングローブの林は南国に来た実感が湧き、由布島に渡る水牛もとても可愛いらしかったです。のんびりとした時間が流れ三線での歌も雰囲気を盛り上げてくださいました。
竹富のグラスボートではカクレクマノミ始め沢山の魚を見ることができました。とにかく全て最高でした。

Renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island was definitely the right choice! Although our stay was a bit short and we couldn't stop by any shops, I was very satisfied with visiting the beaches I wanted to see, including the Star Sand Beach!

It was raining, and the boat to Iriomote Island was rocking quite a bit, but when I boarded the mangrove cruise ship, the rain lightened up and it was great to open the windows for viewing. The boat got close to the sights, and the guide was very clear and informative, which was wonderful. The water buffalo on Yubu Island were also interesting, and the guide's stories were entertaining, but it seemed that from the very back seat, the voice didn't reach very well, so I recommend sitting at the front!
雨が降っており、西表に行く船はよくゆれたがマングローブのクルーズ船に乗った時は、小雨になり窓を開けての見学はとても良かったです。近くまで船が寄ってくれ、ガイドの方も分かりやすくとてもよかったです。
由布島の水牛も、ガイドさんの話が面白くてよかったが、一番うしろの席だと声はあまり届かなかったようなので、一番前がお勧めですね♪

You can efficiently explore Mishima in one day, and there are plenty of highlights to see. I recommend it for those visiting Yaeyama for the first time.

Yufu Island feels like a paradise of tropical plants and butterflies. The lunch was also delicious.
