I rode a water buffalo for the first time. It was a unique experience that I will remember for a lifetime. The bus driver also shared stories about the island's attractions, which was enjoyable. I got caught in a downpour, but it was still a good memory.

I initially thought that a bus tour on Ishigaki Island was unnecessary, but after participating, I found the guide's explanations to be very good and quite helpful. I think it's better than exploring the island on your own.
石垣島内バスツアーは当初必要無いと思っていたが、参加した結果はガイドさんの説明がとても良くとてもためになった。
個人で島内を巡るより良いと思いますよ。

I chose this tour because I wanted to experience the water buffalo on Yubu Island. It would have been difficult to visit Iriomote Island and Yubu Island on my own, so I think choosing the tour was the right decision. The lunch, although included in the tour, was also very delicious.

I was able to efficiently tour the remote islands for the first time. As soon as we got off the boat, a bus was waiting for us, so there was no wasted time. The sightseeing time on the island was just right.

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。

I have been to Ishigaki Island several times, but it was my first time visiting the Blue Cave!
After passing through a jungle surrounded by trees, a space like a private beach opened up, and we entered the sea from there.
We went out to the open sea through a trench, which was also quite interesting. I even got to see clownfish! 🐟
Just floating around is fun, so I recommend it even for beginners!
石垣島には何度か来たことがありましたが、青の洞窟は初めてでした!
木々に囲まれたジャングルを抜けるとプライベートビーチのような空間が広がっており、そこから海に入りました。
海溝を抜けて沖に出るんですが、その海溝がまた面白かったです。
クマノミにも会えました🐟
ただぼーーっと浮かんでいるだけでも楽しいので、初心者の方でもおすすめです!
You should make sure to get plenty of rest the day before, as you might get seasick!
波酔いするかもしれないので、前日はしっかり休んだ方がいいです!

I participated in a tour to explore the jungle. After about 30 minutes of being jostled in the car from the meeting point, it was magical to see the sunset gradually approaching.
The terrain in the jungle was more rugged than I expected, which made it feel like a real adventure, and I had a lot of fun! It was a jungle where I could feel the geography and history of Ishigaki Island, and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining!
When we emerged from the jungle, the ocean spread out before us, and the starry sky we all looked up at after turning off our lights was unforgettable. The sound of the waves and the star-filled sky were breathtaking, and I thought I would love to come back just to see this view again!
ジャングルの中を探検するツアーに参加。
合流から30分ほど車に揺られて移動しますが、だんだんと日が暮れていくのが幻想的でした。
ジャングル内は思ったより起伏が激しく、探検感満載でとても楽しかったです✨
石垣島の地形や歴史を感じるジャングルで、ガイドの方も知識豊富で楽しませてもらいました!
ジャングルを抜けると海が広がっており、みんなでいっせいにライトを消して見上げた星空は忘れられません。

We participated as a couple with our middle school child. I thought it would be a light walk, but it turned out to be quite a challenging mountain trail. Since there are steep slopes, I recommend joining with a backpack or going hands-free. It's better to keep both hands free. The humidity was intense, creating a truly jungle-like atmosphere. We were able to see natural monuments like hermit crabs and coconut crabs. The starry sky viewed from the sandy beach was also absolutely wonderful, and I'm really glad we participated.

I had been wanting to try sunrise SUP, so I made a reservation with great enthusiasm. I was surprised by the 4:30 AM meeting time, but paddling in the quiet mangroves early in the morning felt wonderful. I could clearly hear the chirping of birds and the calls of peacocks, and time flowed leisurely. The conversations with the guide were enjoyable, and we talked about various topics! Due to the environment and climate, we couldn't see the sunrise itself, but the morning glow was very beautiful! The snorkeling was also fantastic, with great weather and clear waters. Here too, the guide provided explanations about the caves and introduced us to the fish in the sea, which was very educational! I had a great time! Thank you for the wonderful memories!!

The tour combines separate snorkeling and mangrove canoe tours, so the guides were different for the first and second halves.
If you participate in the 9 AM session, it ends at 4 PM, so it might be a good idea to join the night jungle stargazing tour starting at 7:30 PM as well. Since the guides change each time, you might find a favorite guide.
During the snorkeling tour, we walked through the forest for a few minutes to reach the beach. After a brief explanation of how to use the snorkel and fins, we went snorkeling. Although the chances of encountering sea turtles or sea snakes seemed low, we were able to see corals and colorful fish, making it a great experience. Even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it with the help of floats and the guide.
For the mangrove tour, we chose to go by canoe. It seemed that people on stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were also participating in the tour alongside us. After a brief lesson on how to paddle at the riverbank, we boarded the boat and started the tour.
シュノーケリングツアーとマングローブカヌーツアーの別々のツアーを1つのセットにしているツアーのため前半と後半で担当のガイドさんが異なりました。
9時開始の回に参加すると16時に終わるため19時半からのナイトジャングル星空ツアーも一緒に行うのも良いかと思います。
毎回担当が異なるので推しのガイドさんも見つかるかもしれません。
シュノーケリングツアーでは、徒歩数分の森を抜けて浜辺へ向かいました。
シュノーケルやフィンの使い方について簡単に説明があった後にシュノーケリングを行いました。
ウミガメやウミヘビに遭遇する確率は低いようで今回のツアーで見ることはできませんでしたがサンゴや色とりどりの魚は見ることができて良い体験になりました。
泳ぎの苦手な人でも浮きとガイドさんのアシストがあるので楽しめると思います。
マングローブツアーではカヌーを選択しました。supの人も同時にツアーを行うようで自分たちの他にはsupの方もいました。
川岸でオールの漕ぎ方について簡単な講習を受けたあとに船に乗り込みツアー開始でした。
Since there are many guides, you may feel that some provide a lot of explanations while others may be slightly lacking in detail, but I believe the content of the tour itself is quite satisfactory.
多くのガイドさんがいるためガイドさんによってはたくさん説明してくれたり若干説明不足だったり感じることがあるかもしれませんがツアーの内容自体は十分に満足のいくものだと思います。

In mid-June, when the rainy season had ended early, my wife and I participated in the tour. After gathering at the remote island terminal, we took a bus with other tour participants to the jungle. During the bus ride there and back, the guide provided us with valuable information about recommended spots and shops in Ishigaki Island.
Due to heavy rain the day before, we were provided with rubber boots for the night tour. In the jungle, we enjoyed explanations about the flora and fauna, which made the experience very enjoyable. We were able to discover a coconut crab during this tour.
The stargazing took place on a sandy beach beyond the jungle. There were concerns due to the heavy rain the day before and forecasts indicating cloudy weather with rain, making it hard to expect clear skies. However, we were able to see a starry sky that looked like a planetarium.
Since this is an experience in nature, the animals you encounter may depend on luck, but I believe you can still enjoy the atmosphere. Long sleeves and long pants are recommended, especially for those concerned about insect bites, but I think short sleeves and shorts would be fine as well. By the way, I participated in short sleeves and long pants, and when I returned to the hotel, I found several bites on my arms. (The guide was in short sleeves, shorts, and flip-flops, haha.) I also brought my smartphone for photography, but in the jungle, I prioritized searching for creatures over taking pictures, so I didn't have the leisure to shoot.
早めに梅雨が明けた6月の半ばに妻と2人で参加しました。
離島ターミナルに集合後、他のツアー参加者とバスでジャングルに向かいました。
向かいや帰りのバスの中ではガイドの方が石垣島のオススメスポットやお店などの情報を教えてくれて大変ためになりました。
前日に大雨があったため長靴を貸してもらってのナイトツアーになりました。
ジャングルでは動植物についての説明もあり大変楽しめました。
今回のツアーではヤシガニを発見することができました。
星空観察はジャングルを抜けた先にある砂浜で行いました。
前日の大雨やサイトによっては曇りのち雨などと記載されていたり、晴れとは言い難い空であったため不安がありましたがプラネタリウムのような満点の星空を見ることができました。
自然の中の体験のためどのような動物に出会えるかは運次第になるかと思いますが雰囲気だけでも十分に楽しめると思います。
長袖長ズボンが推奨されていて虫さされなどが気になる方はその方がいいかと思いますが半袖短パンでも心配はいらないと思います。
ちなみに自分は半袖長ズボンで参加してホテルに戻ったら腕を数箇所、刺されていました。(ガイドの方は半袖短パンビーサンでした笑)
また、写真撮影用にスマートフォンを持参しましたがジャングルの中では撮影よりも生き物探しを優先してしまい撮影している余裕はありませんでした。

I arrived on an evening flight and stayed at a hotel near the remote island terminal, checking in after dinner. The first day was meaningful. Although it was cloudy and I couldn't see the starry sky, I had more time for exploration and encountered a coconut crab. During the journey, the guide explained about the animals of Ishigaki Island, which was helpful for my knowledge of the animals I might encounter while driving a rental car during my trip.
夕方の便で到着し離島ターミナルに近くのホテルでしたがチェックインして夕飯後の参加。初日が有意義でした。曇りで星空は見ませんでしたが、その分、散策の時間が増えてヤシガニ遭遇。

▪︎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。
▪︎About the bus
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.
Also, since there are many children in the back, i
▪︎バスについて
毎回なのかはわかりませんが、今回のバスは後方の座席がいくらか広くなっていました。ご参考まで。
また、後方にはお子様が多いため、運転手さんの説明をよく聞くなら、前方がお勧めです。

Canoeing across the Miyara River surrounded by magnificent mangroves was amazing! It was an activity that allowed me to feel the grandeur of nature. The snorkeling in the afternoon was also fantastic, with dives into the Blue Cave, swimming among clear coral reefs, and lots of fish. I wanted to see a sea turtle, but I'll save that for another time!
壮大なマングローブに囲まれた宮良川をカヌーで渡るのは最高でした!
自然の雄大さを感じることができるアクティビティでした。
午後からのシュノーケリングも青の洞窟へのダイブや、透き通った珊瑚礁、たくさんの魚と一緒に泳ぐのが最高でした。
ウミガメに会いたかったですが、またの楽しみにとっておきます!

It was a more authentic jungle experience than I imagined, and even adults could truly enjoy it! We discovered three coconut crabs, the stars were beautiful, and we even got to see shooting stars, making for a precious night experience! We had a great time until we were completely satisfied!
想像よりも本格的なジャングルで大人もしっかり楽しめました!
ヤシガニ3匹発見し、星は綺麗で、流れ星まで見ることができて、貴重な夜の体験ができました!
満足いくまで楽しめました!

I was rocked by the water buffalo cart to Yufushima. At that time, it just happened to be high tide, and the water buffalo was submerged up to its face, with the cart also flooded! I hadn't considered such a thing, so it was quite a shock, but it became a wonderful memory.
水牛車に揺られて由布島へ。その日のその時はたまたま満潮で、水牛さんは顔まで水に浸かり、車も床上浸水でした! そんなことまで考えていなかったのでかなりの衝撃、そして良い思い出となりました。
On Taketomi Island, you can rent bicycles and do other activities without a reservation on-site. During the summer, it's essential to take measures against the heat! It's convenient that you can choos
竹富島でのフリータイムは事前予約しなくても現地でレンタサイクルなど出来ます。
