All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was an irreplaceable experience. It was unfortunate that there was wind and rain due to the typhoon, but I enjoyed a very delicious lunch with Ishigaki cuisine. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart, and listening to the sanshin performance was a soothing time. I recommend this tour for anyone going to Ishigaki Island.

かけがえの無い経験になりました。
台風で風、雨が降ったのは残念でしたが、昼食は石垣料理でとても美味しく頂きました。
水牛車は初めてでしたが、三線の弾語りも聞けて癒しの時間でした。
石垣島に行く方にはオススメのツアーです。

Había tenido experiencias con otras empresas de la zona en las que te llevan a hacer Snorkel con un barco a zonas muy bonitas. En este caso, la actividad se realizó en una playa de la ciudad en la que no había demasiado que ver en cuanto a veces, y los corales tampoco eran demasiado bonitos. En cuanto a la parte del kayak fue un paseo agradable con nuestro instructor Hiro, pero igualmente, eché en falta más información sobre la fauna de la zona, y el poder, haber avisado más especies.

The mangrove cruise passed by in no time, making me forget the passage of time. The water buffalo worked hard to pull the cart to Yubu Island, and they were very clever and diligent. The island was full of plants and connected to the beach, allowing us to have a fun time.

I was disappointed with the buffet for lunch, but the oil soba I tried without expectations was incredibly delicious—was it the magic of shikwasa?

The only downside was the rental bicycles on Taketomi Island; while I could tolerate the worn and rusty ones, the handlebars were crooked, making it very difficult to ride after not cycling for a while.

According to reviews, the fresh mango smoothie at Chirorin Village is the best! I also wanted to try the fresh pineapple smoothie...

マングローブクルーズは時間の経つのも忘れるくらいあっという間に過ぎました。
由布島までは水牛さん達一生懸命に車をひいてくれてとても賢く働き者でした。島内は植物もたくさんあり、ビーチにつながっていて楽しく時間を過ごせました。
昼はビュッフェでがっかりでした、でも期待せずに食べた油そばがすごく美味しかったのはシークヮーサーの魔法？
竹富島でのレンタルサイクルだけが残念、ボロボロでサビてるのは我慢出来るけどハンドルが斜めで久しぶりに自転車乗ったが運転がとてもしにくかったです。
口コミをみてちろりん村での生マンゴースムージーは最高‼︎生パイナップルスムージーも飲んでみたかった…。

I was able to visit many tourist spots in one day. Unfortunately, there were some disappointing parts due to the rain, but I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice.

多くの観光地を1日で巡ることができました。あいにくの雨で残念な部分もありましたが、雰囲気は十分に味わえました。天気がよければ最高だったと思います。

I originally wanted to see the starry sky and was looking for a tour. However, I was drawn in by the "photo of the coconut crab" and signed up for the night tour of the sea and jungle. I was very satisfied with the guide's attentive service, the enjoyable stories, and the chance to see the coconut crab, as well as witnessing the emergence of cicadas. Although I couldn't see the starry sky due to cloudy weather, I was able to enjoy the night tour instead. I highly recommend it.

元々は星空を見たくて、ツアーを探していました。でも「ヤシガニの写真」と夜の海・ジャングルに惹かれて申し込みをしました。ガイドさんのきめ細やかな対応と楽しいお話とヤシガニに会えた事、蝉の羽化にもで会えた事などなど大満足でした。星空は曇り空で見えませんでしたが、その分ナイトツアーを楽しむができました。お勧めです。

Overall, arranging everything by yourself can be a hassle, but with the bus, ox cart, and boat, everything is taken care of in one go. It allows for efficient travel, includes pick-up and drop-off services, and offers free time, making it highly recommended for first-time visitors.

The boat may lack the luxury compared to other companies, but since you won't be on it for hours, it's not a problem.

One thing to note: the bicycles available for rent are quite worn out. It was mentioned that there would be English guidance, but there was none at all. I applied for the bicycle rental option, and while it clearly stated that those who cannot speak Japanese are not allowed, I inquired whether it would be fine if someone who speaks Japanese accompanied me, and it was indeed fine. It would be better if this information were accurately stated.

とにかく自分で手配したら面倒なのですが、バス、牛車、船、と全て一発です。
効率良く回れ、送迎もあり、自由時間もあり、で、初めて行く方はお勧めします。
船は他社に比べると豪華さに欠けますが、何時間も乗るわけでないので問題なし。

気になった事。
自転車レンタルオプションの自転車はかなりボロいです。
英語ガイダンスあり、と書いてありましたが、全く案内ありませんでした。
自転車レンタルオプションを申し込みましたが、明らかに、日本語できない人は不可、とありますが、日本語が話せる者が同行したら問題ないか問い合わせて、問題ありませんでした。
記載だけなので、正確に記載されていたらもっと良いと思います。

You can efficiently visit all the points you want. The guide was attentive and wonderful, and I enjoyed listening to songs played on the sanshin. The driver also drove safely, making it a fantastic time.

行きたいポイントを効率よく回ってもらえます。
ガイドさん付きでガイドさんのお話が丁寧で素晴らしく三線での歌も聞かせてもらえて楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも安全運転で最高な時間でした。

This was my third time visiting Ishigaki Island, but it was the first time for my wife, my daughter and her husband, and my two grandchildren. Our accommodation was all-inclusive, so we were having a great time without needing to go out. However, I thought it would be a shame not to do any sightseeing while we were in Ishigaki, so I made a reservation for a half-day private sightseeing taxi from Veltra without consulting my family. On the day of the tour, I discussed with the driver and requested to visit the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay and try the gelato at Mirumiru. I left everything else to the driver, and we just followed along. At the glass-bottom boat, my grandchildren and daughter were thrilled to see tropical fish and sea turtles. At Mirumiru, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed gelato and shaved ice outside, which made us very happy! The driver's sightseeing commentary along the way was enjoyable, and we truly appreciated his help. Even though it was time to go, he took us to the observation deck, so thank you very much. I plan to visit Ishigaki again in December and intend to book the same tour. Thank you in advance!

自分は石垣島は3回目でしたが、女房・娘夫婦、孫2人は初めての石垣島でした。宿はオールインクルーシブなので、外に出なくても十分楽んでいました。しかしせっかく石垣島に来て一つも観光しないなんてと思い、自分が家族とは相談せずに、勝手にベルトラの半日貸し切り観光タクシーを予約しました。その日に運転手さんと相談し、川平湾のグラスボート、ミルミルのジェラードの観光をお願いしました。あとは運転手さんに全てお任せで、我々はその通りに
動いただけです。しかしグラスボートでは孫や娘たちは熱帯魚・ウミガメを見て大騒ぎ。ミルミルでは天気にも恵まれ、外でジェラード・かき氷を食べて大満足！それらの行く途中にも運転手さんの観光案内が楽しくて本当に世話になりました。時間になったにもかかわらず、見晴らし台にも連れて行って貰えて、ありがとうございました。12月にもまた石垣に行く予定です。同じツアーを予約するつもりです。宜しくお願いします。

The tour included visits to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the bus driver's stories based on his real experiences on Iriomote Island; they were interesting and entertaining. I think he might have exaggerated a bit, but I was impressed by his calm way of speaking and how he wrapped up his stories with a punchline. I thought this was really insightful and listened intently. As for the ferry returning from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island, the boarding area was hard to find. There were no announcements at the waiting area, so we almost missed the boat. I wonder if there were others who missed it too.

西表島も由布島も竹富島にも行くツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです。とくに西表島のバスの運転手さんの実体験に伴うトークが、面白くて楽しかったです。多少、盛ってるとこ有ると思いますが穏やかな話し方と、ちゃんとオチのある締め方で感心しました。コレって参考になるなぁ～と思って聴きいりました。竹富島から石垣島に帰るフェリーですが、乗り場が分かりにくかったです。待合所では、何のアナウンスも無かったので乗船がギリギリになってしまいました。中には乗り遅れた人もいたのでは？と思います。

A trip with my fifth-grade son.
My son usually complains about going anywhere, but he had no complaints during the night tour and seemed to enjoy seeing various creatures.
The guide was also very kind, which made it a great experience. Thank you very much.

小5の次男との旅行。
どこに行くにも文句ばかりの次男ですが、ナイトツアーは文句もなく、色々な生き物も見られて楽しかったようです。
ガイドさんもとても親切でとても良かったです。ありがとうございました。

With the wonderful guidance of the bus guide, I had a very fulfilling sightseeing experience. I was a bit anxious about renting a car alone in an unfamiliar place. I was able to visit almost all the places I wanted, and the itinerary had a decent amount of flexibility, which was great.

バスガイドさんのとても素晴らしいガイド付きで、大変充実した観光ができました。知らない土地で1人レンタカーはちょっと不安で。行きたいところはほぼ行けたし、行程もそこそこ余裕があって良かったです。

The staff is very kind and has a good smile. But due to the bad weather, we didn't have the chance to take the glass boat; it's a little bit of a pity about that.

The Mangrove Kayak Tour was a fun and enjoyable activity, set in a beautiful mangrove environment. The duration was just right—not too long or tiring. Unfortunately, the Blue Cave part was changed to a beach snorkeling spot due to weather conditions, but that area turned out to have a rich marine ecosystem. We were lucky to see two sea turtles and beautiful fish —it was an amazing experience overall. Our tour guide, sorry I forgot her name. is incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and full of energy.

Phanton Island really lives up to its name — it’s so unreal in its beauty. Snorkeling was fun, though the area we went to that day was just okay — we mainly saw corals, with not many fish or sea turtles around. Still, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience overall.

I spent a relaxing time riding a water buffalo cart. Each buffalo has its own personality, and even in just a short time, you can grow fond of them. The mangrove scenery completely made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a luxurious moment wrapped in the tranquility of nature.

水牛車に乗って、ゆったりとした時間を過ごしました。牛にはそれぞれ個性があって、ほんの少しの時間でも愛着がわいてしまいます。マングローブの景色は、都会の喧騒をすっかり忘れさせてくれ、自然の静けさに包まれる贅沢なひとときでした。

In the morning, I picked up my glass boat tickets and headed to Kabira Bay by bus. I was moved by the breathtakingly beautiful scenery! In the afternoon, I went snorkeling. The weather was perfect, the water clarity was high, and the corals were clearly visible. I was able to enjoy the colorful fish, and I was very satisfied. It was worth the effort to prepare and be in great shape for this experience.

午前中はグラスボートのチケットを受け取り、路線バスで川平湾へ向かいました。息をのむほど美しい光景に感動！ 午後からはシュノーケリング。天候にも恵まれ、透明度が高く、サンゴもくっきりと見えました。色とりどりの魚たちを楽しむことができ、大満足です。 体調を整え、万全の準備で臨んだ甲斐がありました。

I was satisfied with the tour that efficiently covered the remote islands, and surprisingly, there was plenty of time. Since local people acted as guides, I was able to experience the local atmosphere and felt relaxed while listening to the sanshin. This was the most satisfying tour I had on Ishigaki Island.

離島を効率よく回るツアーで、意外に時間も十分あり満足でした。　
現地の人がガイドになったりするので、現地の雰囲気味わい、三線聴きながら、癒されました。
私が石垣島でのツアーの中で1番満足度が高いです。

The friendly staff and the driver for the mangrove tour are very helpful and will answer any questions you have, making it an interesting experience. It seems that the timing is divided by groups, but it can be unclear which group you belong to, and the meeting time after lunch can be confusing, which made me a bit anxious. However, if you ask the nearby staff, they will provide you with the information, so you can feel at ease.

親切な対応でマングローブ遊覧の運転手さんも質問すれば丁寧に答えてくれますので面白いです。時間などはグループによって分けられてるみたいですが、自分がどこのグループなのかなどは分かりづらくて昼食後の集合時間などわかりにくいところもあり不安になりましたが、近くのスタッフさんに訪ねると教えてくれますので安心です。

The cheers when the stars appeared were impressive. It was wonderful to see everyone looking up at the sky at the same time, naturally smiling. It's an experience you can't really have anywhere else, so I'm glad I got to see it.

星が出てきた時の歓声が印象的だった。　全員が同時に空を見上げて、自然と笑顔になる瞬間が素敵だった。ここじゃないとあんまり体験できないので、見れてよかった。

The light inside the cave was magical and very beautiful! The guide provided detailed information about the marine life, which made it even more enjoyable. The snorkeling had great visibility, making it the best experience!

洞窟内の光が幻想的でとても美しかったです！ガイドさんが海の生き物について詳しく教えてくれたので、より楽しめました。シュノーケリングも透明度が高く、最高の体験になりました！

I had no regrets even though it was cloudy. The guide showed us plants and creatures with a flashlight, and it felt like a night safari, which was fun.

曇ってても全く後悔しなかった　ガイドさんが懐中電灯で植物や生き物を見せてくれて、ナイトサファリみたいで楽しかった。

The scenery of the Blue Cave was truly beautiful, and I was continuously moved! The guide provided a thorough explanation, so I felt safe exploring. Snorkeling was amazing as I got to swim with colorful fish!

青の洞窟の景色が本当に美しく、感動の連続でした！ガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくれたので安心して探検できました。シュノーケリングではカラフルな魚と泳げて最高でした！

Although we couldn't see the mangroves due to the rain, the water buffalo experience was great. I want to go again when it's sunny!

雨でマングローブは見れずでしたが
水牛体験もできとても良かったです
次は晴れているときに行きたい！！

It was a mangrove tour at Nakama River in heavy rain. The captain prioritized safety while navigating, but due to poor visibility from the heavy rain, I thought it might have been better to suspend the trip. The water buffalo cart was a lot of fun. At Yufu Island, I felt that even though there were fewer lunch options, the quality could be improved a bit.

On Taketomi Island, we had free time! Renting a bicycle is a must. The rain stopped, and we were able to enjoy pleasant cycling and sightseeing. Overall, I’m glad I participated!

大雨の中の仲間川マングローブツアーでした。
船長さんは安全第一を心がけて運転していましたが大雨による視界の悪さでしたので運休してもよいかと思いました。水牛車はとても楽しかったでさ。由布島でもランチは品数少なしてでももう少しクオリティあげてほしいと思いました。
竹富島ではフリータイム！自転車レンタルは必須です。雨も上がり心地よいサイクリングと観光ができました。総合的に参加してよかったです！

It was forecasted to rain, but it cleared up and the tour went smoothly without any issues. The boat ride on the way there was quite bumpy, but no one got seasick. Since it was high tide when we visited the mangroves, I would like to see the low tide state as well. The bus driver to the water buffalo riding spot on Iriomote Island was very entertaining. Bicycles are a must on Taketomi Island. Although it's not a very large island, I thought it would be challenging to cycle around it. Lunch was served buffet-style, and the taste was fairly good.

雨予報でしたが無事に晴れてツアーも問題なく実施できました。
行きの船はかなり揺れましたが船酔いしている人はいませんでした。
マングローブは行ったときは満潮だったため干潮の状態も見てみたいと思いました。
西表島での水牛乗り場までのバスの運転手さんがとても面白かったです。
竹富島は自転車必須です。あまり広くない島とはいえ、自転車で1周は大変だと思いました。
お昼ご飯はバイキング形式で、味はまあまあおいしかったです。

I participated in a night tour. The guide explained the creatures and plants in detail, allowing us to experience the depth of nature at night. I was moved by the sight of creatures that I usually wouldn't notice, making it a very valuable experience. The starry sky was beautiful, and I had a memorable night.

ナイトツアーに参加しました。ガイドさんが丁寧に生物や植物について説明してくれて、夜の自然の奥深さに触れられました。普段では気づけない生き物たちの姿に感動し、とても貴重な体験になりました。星空も美しく、思い出に残る夜を過ごせました。

I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave in Ishigaki Island. I was relieved to enjoy the experience knowing they checked the weather before we set off. The cave, illuminated by light, was incredibly magical, and I was moved by the beauty of the crystal-clear sea. It was a special experience that allowed me to fully enjoy a marine world I usually can't see, leaving me with wonderful memories of my trip.

石垣島の青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。当日の天気を確認してから出発してくれたので安心して楽しめました。光が差し込む洞窟内はとても幻想的で、透明度の高い海の美しさに感動しました。普段は見ることのできない海の世界を満喫でき、旅の思い出に残る特別な体験になりました。

The water buffalo moving from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island was great. The mangrove cruise with the guide's explanations was also good. The buffet lunch was mediocre.

西表島から由布島へ移動する水牛がよかった。
マングローブの遊覧船はガイドの方の説明もよかった。
ビュッフェの昼食はイマイチでした。

I recommend visiting the three islands of Iriomote, Yufu, and Takeshima as it's more efficient than exploring them individually. Being swayed in a water buffalo cart while listening to the guide's sanshin performance of Okinawan songs, surrounded by the blue sea and the clear blue ocean, was a precious experience that allowed me to forget my daily life and be healed by nature.

西表、由布、竹島３島巡り、個人で巡るより、効率的に巡る事ができるのでお勧めです。水牛車に揺られ、ガイドさんの三線演奏での沖縄の唄、青い海と、透明な青い海、日常を忘れ自然に癒される貴重な体験でした。

I was able to efficiently tour Iriomote Island, the water buffalo cart, and Taketomi Island using the ferry, water buffalo cart, and bus. Although it was early October, it was still quite hot, and it was very good that we could travel by bus on Taketomi Island.

西表島、水牛車、竹富島、と船と水牛車とバスで効率的に観光することが出来ました。
10月初旬ですが、まだまだ暑く、竹富島はバス移動が出来、非常に良かったです。
