It's difficult to get around without a rental car, but you can take a tour around the west side of the island. The veteran guide's stories were fascinating. Also, being able to get off at the airport allowed us to make the most of our last day of stay. Although it was cloudy on the day, we were able to enjoy a beautiful view of Kabira Bay from Kabira Park.
レンタカー利用でなければ行きづらい、島の西側をぐるっとまわってもらえます。ベテランガイドさんのお話が興味深かったです。また、空港で下車できたので滞在最終日を有効に使うことができました。
当日は曇り空でしたが、川平公園からは美しい川平湾を見渡すことができました。

This tour is packed with the charm of three remote islands. Before participating, I thought the one-hour mangrove cruise might be long, but the guide's explanations were fascinating, making it just the right length. The stories from the bus driver guide on the way to Yubu Island and the staff accompanying us on the water buffalo cart were great insights that I wouldn't have known if I had gone on my own. The lunch on Yubu Island was a delicious bento that was already prepared, so there was zero waiting time. On Taketomi Island, I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go—Nishi Sanchu, Kondoi Beach, and Kaiji Beach—by renting a bicycle. I leisurely rode around, but I ended up getting a bit lost and didn't have time to explore the town center (laughs). So, next time, I would like to stay on Taketomi Island.
離島3島の魅力がギュッと詰まったツアーです。
参加前は1時間のマングローブ遊覧は長いのではないかと思っていましたが、ガイドさんの説明が興味深く、ちょうど良い長さでした。
由布島へ向かう際のバスのドライバーガイドさんや水牛車い同乗のスタッフさんのお話も、個人で行っていたら知り得ない良いお話でした。
由布島での昼食も美味しいお弁当がすでに用意されていて、待ち時間ゼロでした。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで、行きたかった西桟橋、コンドイ浜、カイジ浜すべてに行くことができました。自転車でのんびりまわり、また少々道に迷ってしまい島の中心地を散策する時間がなくなってしまいました(笑)。ですので次回は竹富島に宿泊したいと思います。

This time, I participated in a day trip tour of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands (glass boat and water buffalo cart plan).
First of all, it was really fun! (It was my first time participating.)
I had a lot of worries before joining, but on the day of the tour, staff were waiting at each location, providing thorough explanations, which made me feel at ease.
Even pregnant women could participate.
I definitely recommend you to join!
今回、西表•由布•竹富島 日帰りツアー(グラスボートと水牛車プラン)に参加しました。
まず感想として、すっごく楽しかったです。(初参加)
参加前は不安が多かったですが、当日は各地点にスタッフが待ち、しっかりした説明があり安心でした。
妊婦の方でも参加できました。

You can see other islands from the boat even as far as Iriomote Island. The water buffalo are really cute! There was plenty of free time on Yubu Island, and I was able to circle the island. The gelato on the island was also delicious. The mangroves I saw for the first time were lovely! Since it was a half-day tour, I was able to leisurely explore Ishigaki Island afterward. The hotel shuttle service was also helpful.
西表島までも船から他の島も見えます。水牛が本当に可愛い!由布島での自由時間も十分にあり島一周出来ました。島内でのジェラートも美味しかった。初めて見たマングローブも素敵!
半日なのでツアー後も石垣島をゆっくり観光できました。ホテルの送迎も助かりました。

It was convenient that there was a shuttle service to the hotel since I was traveling with children. The tour mixed customers who booked directly with those from major travel agencies, but we were able to participate without confusion thanks to color-coded stickers. I was worried about getting seasick during the nearly one-hour boat ride from Ishigaki to Iriomote Island, but there were designated seats for those prone to motion sickness, and I managed to avoid feeling sick. We could also choose the bus time back to the hotel, which felt like a free plan with transportation and meals included. I enjoyed the stories from the bus driver and guide, as well as the boatman during the mangrove tour.
The only downside was that the shuttle service from the hotel to the port was quite careless; mispronouncing names was common, the driving was rough like being in a local acquaintance's car, and during the pickup, they almost left without confirming the customers. It felt a bit off.
子連れで参加したので、ホテルまで送迎があったのは楽でした。
ツアーは、直接申し込んだお客さんと大手旅行会社のツアーのお客さんと混載でしたが、色分けしたシールなどで間違う事なく参加できました。
石垣から西表島までの1時間弱の船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いしやすい人向けのシートなども示してあって酔わずに終われました。
帰りのホテルまでのバスの時間も選べて、フリープランに移動と食事のついたイメージです。
バスの運転手さん兼ガイドさんや、マングローブ下りの船頭さんのお話など楽しく過ごせました。
一点だけ残念だったのは、ホテルから港までの送迎がかなり雑で、名前の読み間違えは当たり前、運転も地元の知り合いの車に乗せられたような荒さ、行きのピックアップではお客さんを確認せずに出発しようとしたり、ちょっと…な感じでした。

We participated as a couple. We were worried about the weather for our late March trip, but it turned out to be quite nice, with plenty of sunshine and warm weather. During our stroll around Kabira Bay, the sunlight made for great photos. The male tour guide's talk and his performance on the sanshin were also enjoyable! It was a fun time chatting with the other people we spent time with.

We rode on water buffalo, and we had enough free time to explore Yubu Island, so I was very satisfied.

I participated because I wanted to explore the sights without a car. It was fun to see various places with explanations, but I wished I had a bit more free time, especially at places like Kabira Bay. When I got on the glass-bottom boat, there was hardly any time to do anything.
車なしで見どころを回りたかったので参加しました。色々解説付きでみれたのは楽しかったけど、川平湾などでもう少し自由時間が欲しかったです。グラスボートに乗ったら何もする時間がないくらいでした。

I was pulled by a water buffalo across the shallow sea from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart! Although the buffalo was large, I worried if it would be okay with about 18 people on the cart. However, it pulled us strongly, and according to the guide and driver, the buffalo loves to move in the water the most.
Along the way, the guide played "Asadoya Yunta" on the sanshin, which made me feel very warm and happy as I swayed in the water buffalo cart. Yufu Island is a cute island with a somewhat ruined and rough feel, but I accepted it as it is, and I was thrilled by the sign for the yellow Iriomote wildcat!
I was also delighted to see many unique mangrove forests during the mangrove tour. The lunch bento was filled with Okinawan-style side dishes, which made me very satisfied.
I think it was great to participate in this tour where I could see various places.
Next time, I would like to try trekking on Iriomote Island.
海の浅瀬を水牛に引いてもらって西表島から由布島へ渡りました。初めての水牛車‼️大きな水牛ではありましたが車に乗るのが18人ほどで本当に牛さんは大丈夫なのだろうかと心配になりました。しかし力強く引いてくれ、ガイド兼運転手のおじさんの話では水牛は水の中で動くのが一番好きなんだとか。
途中からおじさんが三線で「安里屋ゆんた」を弾いてくれ、とても優しい気持ちになりながら水牛車に揺られ楽しかったです。
由布島はかわいい島でやや廃墟がかった感じと雑な感じもありますが、それはそう言うものだと納得し、黄色のイリオモテヤマネコの看板に感激しました❣️
マングローブ遊覧も変わったマングローブの林をたくさん見れて嬉しかったです。
お昼のお弁当も沖縄らしいおかずがいっぱいで満足でした。
いろいろなところが見れて盛りだくさんのツアーで参加して良かったと思います。
次回は西表島でトレッキングもやってみたいです。

I was worried about the rain forecast from the previous day, but I'm glad that the weather forecast for Ishigaki Island was unreliable. The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. Additionally, it was inexpensive due to the ongoing campaign. I missed the free pickup bus, but I managed to board the boat on my own. I almost ended up having to cancel.
前日の雨予報でどうなるかと思いましたが、石垣島の天気予報はあてにならなくて良かったです。天気も良く、とても楽しかったです、また、キャンペーン中で安かった。無料のピックアップのバスに乗り遅れましたが、なんとか自力で乗船できました。危うくキャンセルになるところでした。

My first trip to the three islands was enjoyable, as I was able to efficiently visit places that would be difficult to cover on my own. The only downside was at the Takeubushima Water Buffalo Cart stop, where I felt a bit uncomfortable being asked to buy photos that I didn't want. In this age of smartphones, I think such commemorative photos are unnecessary. I also thought it would be better if we could choose at the beginning whether or not to include a commemorative photo.
初めての3島巡りは、個人では周りきれないスケジュールを効率よく周る事ができ楽しめました。
唯一残念なのは、竹生島水牛車下車庫 欲しくも無い写真を撮られ買わないか?と言うよくあるパターンを断るのにちょっと嫌な気分になりました。
