All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was unable to go on my own, so they guided me through the cave. Our guide, Soma, was very easy to talk to, and the drive was enjoyable as we chatted, making the time fly by until we arrived. They were also great with small children. In the end, we were able to see a beautiful starry sky, which became the best memory of Ishigaki Island.

自分では行くことができない、洞窟の中を案内してくれました。私たちの担当のそうまさんがとても話しやすくて、移動の車の中も楽しくお話ししながらあっという間に到着。
小さなお子さんへの対応もとても上手でした。最後にキレイな満天の星も見ることができ石垣島の最高の思い出になりました。

At the Blue Cave, the tide wasn't too high, so we were able to take a lot of photos both inside and outside the cave! Also, the guide's explanations were thorough, which made the experience enjoyable!

青の洞窟では、潮の高さがあまり高くなかったので、洞窟内、外両方でたくさん写真を撮っていただきました！
また、ガイドさんの説明も丁寧で楽しむことができました！

Today, I participated in a morning snorkeling session followed by a night tour, and it was my first experience exploring a pitch-black jungle, which was incredibly fun!

I also got to see coconut crabs and sea snakes, along with various insects, plants, and animals that I don't usually encounter, making it a really enjoyable experience!

The starry sky was breathtaking; although I didn't see any shooting stars, I've heard that Ishigaki is a great place to catch them, so I want to try again!

今日は午前シュノーケルからの、ナイトツアー参加さして貰ったんですけど、人生初の経験で、真っ暗なジャングルを探検するのがすごく楽しかったです！
さらにヤシガニやウミヘビもみれて、なかなか普段みることのない虫や植物、動物などみれてすごく楽しかったです！
星空も圧巻でした、僕は流れ星はみれなかったんですけど、石垣はよく流れ星も見れるそうなのでまたリベンジしたいです！

This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and it was my first time snorkeling. The guide was very reliable, which made me feel at ease, and I had a great time on the tour! Additionally, I learned a lot about various fish, making it a very satisfying experience! The coral was beautiful, and I got to see many different fish, which was amazing! 😁

今回は青の洞窟のシュノーケルツアー参加さして頂いたんですけど、初めてのシュノーケルで、ガイドさんがとても頼れる人で安心感があり楽しくツアーできました！
それにいろんな魚の知識を教えてもらい大満足のツアーになりました！
珊瑚もとても綺麗でいろんな魚もみれて最高でした😁

I participated in Yamato's bus tour, and I was very satisfied to learn about the large coconut crabs and star knowledge! The atmosphere on the bus was very lively from the start, and they introduced us to spots where we could see the stars beautifully along the way. It was a tour with 100% satisfaction!

やまとさんのバスツアーに参加しました、大きいヤシガニや、星の知識を知れて大満足でした！
行きの車内からバスはとても盛り上がっていて、途中星が綺麗に見えるスポットも紹介してもらい満足度100%のツアーでした！

It was just before the end of the rainy season in mid-June, but the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which might have been a bit refreshing in a way. My family of three, including my 1 year and 9-month-old daughter, had a wonderful time together. The activities were enjoyable for both kids and adults, which was great!

6月半ばの梅雨明け前でしたが天気は曇り時々雨という中、ある意味少しは涼しく良かったかもしれません。
1歳9ヶ月の娘と一緒に家族3人楽しい時間を過ごしました。
子供も大人も楽しめる内容でとても良かったです！

The mangroves were a bit disappointing as they coincided with high tide, but I enjoyed the original scenery of the Okinawan islands with the water buffalo and the streets of Taketomi Island. Also, renting a bicycle is a must on Taketomi Island.

マングローブは満潮と重なったのでイマイチでしたが、水牛や竹富島の街並みでは沖縄離島の原風景が楽しめました。また竹富島ではレンタルサイクル必須です。

It was a day full of firsts, including my first airplane ride, departing from Ishigaki Island, and my first stargazing. However, the most enjoyable part of yesterday was the night jungle experience. Thank you for this precious experience for both me and my child.

初飛行機、発石垣島、初星空など初づくしの1日でしたが、昨日1番楽しかったのは、ナイトジャングルでした。貴重な体験を親子共々ありがとうございました。

I'm really glad I was able to experience crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo before the super typhoon arrived. It felt like seeing Japan's original scenery, and the person guiding the water buffalo played the sanshin, creating a relaxed atmosphere that truly moved me. Even though it was a tour of three islands, we were able to get around efficiently. I'm happy I could fully enjoy it. The Sakishima Islands are the best!

スーパー台風が来る前に、経験してみたかった水牛で由布島へ渡ることができてとても良かったです。日本の原風景を見た感じで、水牛を操る方が三線を弾きながらゆったりとした時間を演出されて、本当に感動しました。3島巡りといってもツアーなので効率よく周ることができました。満喫できてよかった。先島諸島最高ー！

Despite the heat where the cows were being a bit stubborn, it seemed that the cows' pace matched the island's flow of time, allowing us to relax and enjoy the pleasant breeze. The guide's sanshin music and singing, along with the storytelling pace, created a wonderfully soothing atmosphere. Thank you, cows and guide, for your efforts in the heat!

牛さんが駄々をこねる暑さのなかでしたが、牛さんのペースと島の時間の流れが合っているようでのんびり、ゆったりした中で心地よい風に吹かれました。ガイドさんの三線と歌も、また語りのペースも嫌みのないのんびり感でとても癒されました。牛さん、ガイドさん暑い中ありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, and the water buffalo was very clever, so it was fun to hear various stories. I didn't have much time on Yubu Island, and while I was having lunch, I couldn't explore everything at a leisurely pace, so I wish I had a bit more time.

お天気も良く水牛の頭がよく、いろいろなお話が聞けて楽しかったです
由布島は少し時間がなく、お昼を食べたりしていると全てゆっくりとは回り切れなかったのでもう少し時間が欲しかったなと思います

The snorkeling was of course fun, and the sea was beautiful. Sakura, who was in charge, not only explained about the fish and the blue cave but also shared various recommendations for restaurants, making the travel time enjoyable as well!

シュノーケルはもちろん楽しかったし、海も綺麗でした。担当してくださったさくらさんは魚や青の洞窟の説明だけでなく、おすすめのご飯屋さんなど色々な話をしてくださり、移動時間も楽しく過ごせたのがよかったです！

I was able to see coconut crabs, fireflies, and a sky full of stars. Thank you very much♪

ヤシガニ、ホタル、満点の星空を見ることができました。ありがとうございました♪

The jungle walk was very satisfying as I got to see coconut crabs and many hermit crabs! The weather was great, and the starry sky was like a natural planetarium! I heard that the Milky Way will be visible soon, so I would like to participate again at a different time! The guide was very polite and provided many recommendations for restaurants, and he was really a great person!

ジャングル散策ではヤシガニが見れたり、たくさんのヤドカリが見れたりと、満足度が高かったです！
天気も良く、星空が天然のプラネタリウムでした！もう少ししたら天の川が見れるとのことだったので、また別の時期にも参加したいと思います！
ガイドのお兄さんも対応が全て丁寧かつおすすめの飲食店たくさん教えていただき、めっちゃいい方でした！

The front wheel tire is hitting the fender and making a rubbing sound. The front wheel is unbalanced, making it difficult to steer properly. I think it probably got dented from hitting something.

前輪のタイヤがフェンダーに当たり
擦れて音がする
前輪のバランスが悪く、ハンドル操作がうまくできない
多分何かにぶつかって凹んだんだと思う

The guide was someone we had previously worked with on another tour, and their friendly personality made them very approachable, especially with the children. Since it was raining, we gave up on seeing the starry sky and focused on the coconut crab tour, which was still very enjoyable. We were able to observe rare plants and animals besides the coconut crabs, and it was thrilling, making for a valuable experience.

ガイドさんが別のツアーでもお世話になった方で、お人柄が親しみやすく子供にもとてもよくしていただきました。
雨でしたので星空は諦めて、ヤシガニに集中したツアーでしたが十分に楽しめました。
ヤシガニ以外にも珍しい動植物を観察でき、スリルもあり、貴重な体験となりました。

The weather was nice, and the sea was calm, which felt great. The guide constantly checked on our condition, which made us feel very safe. It was great that they led us even though I couldn't swim. I was able to spend time pleasantly with the other participants in the tour, and it truly became a wonderful experience. Thank you very much!

天気も良く海も穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが始終、私達の状態を見てくれて、とても安心出来ました。泳げなくてもずっと引率してくれてよかったです。
ツアーの参加した他の方々とも雰囲気よく時間過ごせて、本当に素敵な体験になりました。ありがとうございました！

Since I needed a cane, I opted for a bus tour plan on Taketomi Island. The guide's service was outstanding. They helped us search for star sand, took photos for us, allowed us to visit a home with a shisa holding a fish, and shared stories about childhood life on Taketomi Island, which made me fall in love with the place. Next time, I plan to spend more time leisurely on Taketomi Island.

The guide on Iriomote Island also shared interesting stories during the bus ride, and the mangrove tour guide provided clear explanations, which helped me learn a lot. When crossing between Iriomote Island and Yufu Island on the water buffalo cart, the guide talked about the buffalo's personality and played the sanshin, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The sanshin song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" resonated with me as we returned to Iriomote Island.

The lunch we had on Yufu Island, "karasoba," was very delicious, and I bought some sauce and Yaeyama soba to take home. It was a wonderful tour.

杖が必要な私でしたので、竹富島ではバス観光プランにしました。
とてもガイドさんの応対が素晴らしかったです。
星の砂を探してくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたり、魚をくわえたシーサーのご自宅を見学させてくださったり、竹富島の子供の頃の生活などの話を聞かせてくださったりと、竹富島が大好きになりました。
次回は竹富島をゆっくりと過ごしに行きます。
西表島のガイドさんもバス移動の時に面白い話をしてくれたり、マングローブ遊覧のガイドさんもわかりやすい説明で色々な事が知れて良かったです。
水牛車で西表島⇔由布島で渡るときも水牛さんの性格などの話や三線を弾いてくださり心地よくゆったりできました。西表島へ戻る時の三線の曲が「きらきら星」が心に響きました。
由布島でいただいた昼食の「からそば」がとても美味しくて、からそばのタレと八重山そばを購入しました。
素晴らしいツアーでした。

I participated in this tour before COVID, and it had been 6 or 7 years since my last participation. I also went in February during the cold season last time, and this time I joined during the cold year-end and New Year period. We took a water buffalo cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island, but there was a strong north wind blowing, and it was very cold. I realized that even when going to places like Ishigaki Island, a down jacket is necessary.

The tour itself was a lot of fun. During the Nakama River cruise, I felt like there were more explanations about the mangroves in the past. Also, last time we were able to touch a large clam on the cruise ship, but that wasn't the case this time.

Although it wasn't available last time, this time we were able to touch the water buffalo on Yufu Island and take commemorative photos. The kids were thrilled.

コロナ前にこのツアーに参加して、6、7年ぶりの参加でした。前回も2月の寒い時期に行きましたが、今回も年末年始の寒い時期に参加しました。西表島から由布島まで水牛車に乗って渡りましたが、強烈な北風が吹いており、とても寒かったです。たとえ石垣島などに行くにしてもダウンジャケットが必要なことを痛感しました。
ツアー自体はとても楽しかったです。仲間川クルーズでは、過去の方がマングローブに関する説明が多かったような気がします。また、前回はクルーズ船の中で大きなシジミを回して触ることができましたが、今回はありませんでした。
前回はなかったことですが、今回は由布島で水牛に触って記念撮影することができました。子供が大喜びしていました。

The water buffalo, moving at its own pace, was so cute. I traveled through the streets that still retain their old-fashioned charm while listening to traditional songs played on the sanshin, and it was very soothing. It was hot, and I couldn't move quickly, so I would have been happier if the free time had been a bit longer to relax.

マイペース運行な水牛さんが可愛くて、
三線の民謡を聴きながら昔ながらの様相が残る街並みを水牛車で旅して癒されました。
暑くてテキパキとは動けなかったので、自由行動の時間がもう少し長くのんびりできたら嬉しかったです。

I chose a bus tour course. The bus stopped at several locations, and the driver sometimes accompanied us. At the beach with star sand, while I was looking for star sand, the driver found a small piece of star sand and gave it to me, which made me super excited!

私はバス観光コースを選びました。何ヶ所かバスを停めて　ドライバーさんが時々同行してくれたり　星の砂の浜では、星の砂ないかなぁと探してると　小さい星の砂を見つけてくれて　私にくれたので　超感激！でした。

It was disappointing that the glass boat at Kabira Bay, which I was looking forward to the most, was suspended due to the approaching typhoon. However, despite the busy weather changing from cloudy to rainy to sunny, the guide's explanations were clear, and I was able to learn a bit about Ishigaki Island and thoroughly enjoy my time there.

I also enjoyed a delicious hamburger lunch. Although I need a cane and couldn't have managed the limestone cave on my own, I was able to go thanks to the support I received.

台風接近中で一番の楽しみの川平湾のグラスボートが運休で残念でしたが、お天気は曇り→雨→晴れと忙しいお空の中、ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、少し石垣島のことを知れて充分に楽しめました。
昼食のハンバーグランチも美味しくいただきました。
杖が必要な私ですが、ひとりでは鍾乳洞は無理でしたが、サポートがあったのでなんとか鍾乳洞に行くことができました。

It was amazing. On Iriomote Island, I was able to relax and feel the slow passage of time on the island. The mysteries of the mangrove nature, the water buffalo cart crossing the sea, the Orion beer I drank during lunch on Yubu Island, the tropical botanical garden, and the bus rides with a friendly driver guide—all of these became wonderful memories.

最高でした。西表島では、のんびり、ゆったり、島に流れる時間を感じることができました。マングローブ自然の神秘、海をわたる水牛車、由布島の昼食で飲んだオリオンビール、熱帯植物園、親切な運転手のガイド付バス移動、どれもいい思い出となりました。

I had a reservation for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to the typhoon, it was changed to canoeing in the mangrove river. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. It started pouring rain along the way, but that was fun in its own way.

青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予約していましたが台風の影響でマングローブの川でカヌーに変更になりました。ガイドさんはいろいろ説明してくれて親切でした。途中で土砂降りになりましたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。

The weather wasn't very good, and we couldn't see the starry sky, but we were able to find three coconut crabs. It was fun to search for creatures using a flashlight in the darkness. The guide also provided detailed explanations about the animals, which was great.

天候はあまり良くなく星空は見れませんでしたがヤシガニは3匹発見できました。
暗闇の中、ライトを使って生き物を探すのが楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも丁寧に生物の説明をしてくれてよかったです。

I apologize for being late to the meeting time, and I really appreciate your flexibility in accommodating us. Thank you for kindly responding to my daughter, who couldn't stop chatting even after the tour started. We were all thrilled to see the rare scene of cicadas hatching and the firefly larvae. Although the cloudy sky made it difficult to see the stars, we were very satisfied to see the beautiful full moon. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

集合時間に遅れてしまい、大変ご迷惑をおかけしたのですが、臨機応変に対応していただき有り難かったです。ツアー開始後もおしゃべりが止まらない娘に対しても優しく答えて下さりありがとうございました。珍しい蝉の孵化中のシーンやホタルの幼虫も見れて大人も子供も大興奮でした。星空は雲が多くあまり見れませんでしたが、綺麗な満月も見れて大満足です。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

I enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave beach and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the mangrove river. The guides were very kind and taught us well. I was able to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was my first experience with SUP, but I managed to stand up and paddle. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

青の洞窟の海岸でシュノーケルとマングローブの川でSUPを楽しみました。ガイドの方達はとても親切に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルではキレイな魚を見れました。
SUPは初体験でしたが、なんとか立って漕ぐことができました。良い経験をさせていただいて、ありがとうございました。

It was really great. I was moved. I look forward to working with you again. The time management was also perfect. The staff were very kind.

めっちゃ良かったです。感動しました。またよろしくお願いします。時間配分も申し分ありません。親切なスタッフさんたちでした。

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour. Both activities took place in the rain, but the timing for the SUP was particularly heavy downpour. However, thanks to the guide's thorough lectures and explanations, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

シュノーケリングとサップのツアーに参加させていただきました。
両方とも雨天の中の催行でしたが、特にサップのタイミングはなかなかの土砂降り。
でも、ガイドさんの丁寧なレクチャーと説明で、とても楽しい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！

I visited in early June 🏝️ and the tour guide on the sightseeing bus in Iriomote Island 🚌 was very entertaining. The explanation about the mangroves was thorough and easy to understand. The water buffalo 🦬 that took us from Iriomote Island to Yubu Island was very adorable and worked hard to pull us along 👊. The songs and stories along the way were also fascinating! It was fun. I chose a free plan for Taketomi Island, but walking to the center was quite tiring 🚶‍♂️, so I relied on the bus shuttle that was available when we arrived at the port. For some reason, I rode a water buffalo again on Taketomi Island 🦬, and it was so cute to see it walking on land 🎵. There was also a shuttle back to the port, making for a meaningful day visiting three islands from early in the morning 😁. It was great 👍!

6月初旬に訪れました🏝️ 西表島の観光バス🚌のガイドさんのトークが面白かったです。
マングローブも丁寧で分かりやすい案内をしていただきました。西表島から由布島に渡る水牛🦬さんが、とても愛らしく？頑張って引っ張ってくれました👊その途中の唄やお話しも興味津々！楽しかっです。竹富島はフリープランにしたけど、やはり中心部まで歩くのは🚶‍♂️しんどいので港に着くとバスの送迎があったので頼りました。竹富島でも何故かまた水牛に乗りました🦬　陸を歩く姿も愛くるしかったです🎵　帰りも港まで送迎があり、朝早くから一日有意義な3島めぐりになりました😁良かったです👍
