Ishigaki/Yaeyama
An exhilarating jungle adventure!
It was a very satisfying tour where I could observe giant coconut crabs and various creatures in the jungle!
I would love to participate again when I come back to Ishigaki Island.
大迫力のジャングル探検!
巨大なヤシガニやジャングルの中の様々な生き物を観察することができとても満足なツアーでした!
また石垣島に来たら参加したいです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi! The coconut crab was so big, and it was a fun experience out of the ordinary! There are many other creatures to discover as well! Please come to Ishigaki Island to search for more animals! There are many other attractions too!! I will work harder as a guide, so let's meet again in Ishigaki Island!!

I signed up for this tour thinking it was perfect since we would depart at 9:30 and be taken directly to the airport. The view of Kabira Bay was even more stunning than in the photos, and our guide skillfully shared the history of Ishigaki Island and famous landmarks while singing joyfully. Their beautiful singing almost brought me to tears. The driver was also very reassuring and provided excellent service. The lunch was delicious and healthy as well. I would love to visit again next time. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
9時30分出発、直接空港へ送ってもらえるのでちょうどイイツアーだなと思い申し込みました。
川平湾の景色は写真よりも絶景で石垣島の所々の歴史や、有名建造物など楽しく上手に歌を歌いながらガイドさんが案内してくれました。
素敵な歌声で涙が出そうになりました。そして運転手さんもとても安心できるドライバーさんで接客も素晴らしかったです。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく健康的なメニューでした。
また次回も訪れたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。
The guided tour was very good. They provided information about photo spots and how to enjoy the experience after getting off the water buffalo, which was great. Thank you very much.
ガイド付きの案内がとてもよかったです。
写真スポットのことや水牛下車後の楽しみ方も教えてくださりよかったです。
ありがとうございました。
I thought the bicycle was included in that price, but it wasn't, so I would be happy if the bicycle could be included as well.
自転車もあの値段に含まれてらのかと思ったら含まれていなかったので自転車も入れてもらえると嬉しいです。
I was impressed by the mangroves surrounded by nature on Iriomote Island. After riding a water buffalo and enjoying a delicious lunch on Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo again and rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island. The guide who accompanied us while we were on the water buffalo was interesting to talk to and was skilled at playing the sanshin. The connections between destinations were a bit challenging to navigate on my own. It was a fulfilling day that went by in a flash. You might need a bit of physical stamina as well.
西表島にて大自然に囲まれたマングローブに感激。
由布島で水牛に乗り美味しいランチを終えて竹富島で水牛に乗る&レンタサイクル。
水牛になりながら案内してくれた方や話が面白く三線もお上手でした。
繋ぎな行き先案内が自分で動くので少し難しかったです。
あっという間の1日でしたが充実しました。
少し体力も必要かもしれません。
The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.
明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです!ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。
At the end of March 2023, I participated with my son and nephew. I was thrilled to see two long-awaited coconut crabs, which was one of the children's goals for this trip! We also spotted small scorpions, hermit crabs, and gobies.
The starry sky was cloudy when we were by the sea, but my nephew said it looked beautiful from the car window on the way back ^^ (I couldn't see much from my seat).
Our guide, Akari, was cheerful and fun to talk to. She provided detailed information about the creatures and plants, and also shared recommendations for restaurants while we were in the car, which made the experience very enjoyable. I was happy to receive photos as well, allowing me to look back and remember those moments.
In our daily lives, we are overwhelmed by too much information that comes to our eyes and ears, which can be exhausting and numbing. Experiencing nature like this, focusing our senses to search for creatures, feeling the wind, and touching various things allowed me to reset my five senses and enjoy a sharpened awareness! The sensations from that time still linger in my heart. I want to go again. Thank you!
25年3月末に息子と甥と3人で参加しました。
今回の旅の子供たちの目的でもある、念願のヤシガニが2匹も見られて感動しました!他にも小さいサソリや、ヤドカリ、ハゼも見られましたよ。
星空は、海辺にいるときは曇って見えなかったけど、甥は帰りの車の窓からとても綺麗に見えたそうです^^(私の座席側はあんまり見えなかった)
ガイドのアカリさんは明るくて、お話も楽しく、また生き物や植物のことも詳しく教えていただいたり、車の中ではおすすめの飲食店の情報もいただいたりしてとても楽しませていただきました。写真も送っていただけて、こうして見返して思い出せるのが嬉しいです。
普段の生活では、目や耳に勝手に入ってくる情報が多すぎて疲れ、それに麻痺していますよね。こんな風に大自然の中で目と耳を澄まして生き物を探したり、風を感じたり、いろいろな物に触ってみたり、という体験で、五感をリセットできて、研ぎ澄まされる感覚を味わえました!今でもその時の感覚がすごく心に残っています。
また、行きたいです。ありがとうございました!
It's very convenient as it efficiently takes you around the sightseeing spots on the island. You can enjoy it even without a rental car. The guide's explanations were very detailed and easy to understand, making it enjoyable. I think this local tour is especially recommended for older adults. The sightseeing bus was also large and very comfortable.
島内の観光名所を効率的に回ってくれるのでとても便利です。レンタカーが無くても、十分楽しめます。ガイドさんの説明も、とても詳細に分かりやすく楽しめました。年配者には特にお薦めの現地ツアーだと思います。観光バスも大きくてとても楽でした。
This tour is best for middle-aged and older individuals. However, younger people might find it a bit lacking.
中高年者にはベストなツアーです。が、若い人たちには、ちょっと物足りないかもしれません。
It was a fantastic tour! I learned a lot about the jungle and the starry sky; it was very informative. The guide spoke excellent English and explained everything clearly, so I felt comfortable throughout the experience. We were able to see a sky full of stars just like the one shown in the pictures I uploaded.
とても素晴らしいツアーでした!ガイドさんは英語がとても上手で、説明もわかりやすく安心して参加できました。
星が綺麗に見え、空も澄んでいてとても良かったです。

It was a packed tour from morning to evening, but the time allocation was just right, allowing us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The bus driver on Iriomote Island and the guide for the mangrove tour were both very kind.
朝から夕方まで盛りだくさんのツアーですが、過不足なく丁度いい時間配分で、ゆっくりと楽しめました。西表島のバスのドライバーさん、マングローブツアーのガイドさんもとても親切でした。
On Taketomi Island, there is quite a distance from the ferry terminal to the village and the beach, so I recommend using a bicycle or the bus. (The bus requires a reservation, especially for the retur
竹富島はフェリー乗り場から集落、ビーチまで結構距離があるので自転車かバスをお勧めします。(バスは予約制(特に復路)で、連絡しないとバス停で待っていても来ません。)
Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.
Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.
Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

I have fond memories of experiencing the water buffalo cart when I was a child, so this time I participated with my family. The tour itself was satisfactory with polite service from the ferry terminal, but the water buffalo cart, which I was looking forward to, was disappointing. Perhaps because our group was the largest (7 people), we were assigned to go last, even though we weren't the last to arrive. Additionally, since half of us, including my husband, were British, the guide hardly paid us any attention, and being at the back meant we could barely hear anything, which was quite disappointing.
水牛車は私が子どもの頃に体験して良い想い出に残っていたので、今回自分の家族と参加しました。ツアー自体はフェリー乗り場からご丁寧な対応で満足でしたが、楽しみにしていた水牛車は、私たちのグループが1番大人数(7人)だったせいか、最後に着いた訳では無いのに1番最後に回され、主人も含め半分イギリス人だったせいか、ガイドにも全く相手にされず、1番後ろだったのでほとんど雑音にしか聞こえずがっかりでした。
The strong winds made the waves high, which was a bit tense. The wind was cold, and it rained occasionally, making it a chilly day for this season. However, I was able to enjoy nature, which you can't experience in the city, and it was refreshing. I definitely want to participate again. Next time, I will be mindful of my actions to ensure good weather.
強風のため波が高くやや緊張しました。風が冷たく時折雨が降るなどこの時季にしては寒い日となりました。しかしながら、都会では感じられない自然を満喫できリフレッシュしました。またぜひとも参加したいです。今度は好天になるよう普段からの行いに注意します。
Overall, it was just okay. What I didn't like was the star sand in Taketomi. I felt it hasn't changed at all in 30 years and is in a terrible state. There have been improvements in the bus service in Komini. Overall, I hope they enhance the tourist experience more.
全体的には まあまあかな
よくなかったのは 竹富の星の砂
30年前と全然変わってなく ひどい状態と感じた
コミニのバス運行に工夫改良あり
全体的にもっと観光の見る体験を
充実してほしい
I think it would be better if you put more effort into things like caves, pottery, and glass-making. If things stay as they are, it won't be good. The Chinese Temple, the observation deck, and the food are not particularly unique. Why not start something more enjoyable? There's no sense of excitement at all. As it stands, you won't capture the hearts of young people, and it's not fun for the elderly either.
鍾乳洞 陶芸 ガラス作りとか
もつと工夫をしたらいいと思います 今のままではダメになりますよ 唐人の寺 展望台 食事も珍しく有りません もっと楽しいこと始めません ワクワク感がぜんぜんない 今のままで若い人の心掴めません 年寄りでも全然楽しくない
I think it's content that beginners can fully enjoy!
It was my first time trying SUP, and I was lucky enough to see the sunrise, which was amazing!
I also enjoyed snorkeling without any difficulty, and the sea was very beautiful; I even got to see a sea turtle.
I was a bit worried because the life jacket I wore had two out of three buckles broken.
I also thought it would be great if I could provide more details about my height, weight, desired size, and swimming ability when making a reservation in advance.
The staff were very friendly, and it was a tour that made me want to do it again if I have the chance!
初心者でも充分楽しめる内容だと思います!
SUPは初めてでしたが、日の出も運良く見ることができ最高でした!
シュノーケルも難なく楽しめ、海もとても綺麗でウミガメも見ることができました。
私が着用したライフジャケットが、留め具が3箇所中2箇所壊れていて少し不安でした。
また身長や体重、希望のサイズ、泳げるか、なども事前に予約時に詳しく記載できればいいなぁと思いました。
スタッフの方もとても気さくで、また機会があったら是非やりたいと思えるようなツアーでした!
It is recommended to bring a separate haori and beach sandals. There may be breaks in between, so it’s a good idea to inquire in advance for peace of mind. Lastly, you can also use a shower, so having
別途羽織の持参や、靴はビーチサンダルがおすすめです。
合間に休憩があるかもしれないので、事前に問い合わせなどしておくと安心です。
最後にシャワーも使えるので、シャンプー等もあると良いです。
Thank you for using Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
You mentioned it was your first time paddleboarding, but you were so skilled and able to stand smoothly that it was hard to believe it was your first time. The weather was great all day, and we were able to see the fantastical scenery of the mangroves and corals that you usually can't see. It was also wonderful to spot creatures like sea turtles and sea snakes. Please consider joining us again when you come back to Ishigaki Island. We look forward to seeing you!

The weather was unfortunate, but I enjoyed it enough. The time management was good, and I didn't get bored even participating alone. The cows were so cute! 🩷
あいにくの天気でしたが、十分楽しめました
時間配分も良く、一人参加でも退屈しませんでした
牛さんたちが可愛いかった🩷
I participated with my middle school son and our family of three. During the bus ride, the guide shared many fun stories about recommended shops and sightseeing spots. When we got off the bus, we found ourselves in a dark mountain area with no signal, and we excitedly ventured down a path that felt like a beast trail with our flashlights, searching for coconut crabs. We finally reached the coast, and when we turned off our flashlights, we were greeted by a sky full of stars. Since it had rained the day before, I wasn't expecting much, but it was truly moving. Experiencing the pitch-black sea illuminated only by the stars and moonlight was something quite rare.
The coconut crabs were hard to find due to the chilly weather, but the guide shared interesting stories about rare plants and terrain as we explored their hotspots. Finally, someone in our group spotted one! I was surprised by its grotesque colors. The tour was a complete satisfaction with the coconut crabs, the starry sky, and the night jungle. It seems this trip became my son's best memory. Thank you to our guide Gin-chan and the staff for a wonderful experience.
中学生の息子と家族3人で参加させていただきました。
道中のバスではガイドさんがオススメのお店や観光スポットなど楽しいお話をたくさんして下さいました。
バスから降りると圏外で真っ暗な山の中、懐中電灯で獣道?のような道をどんどん進んでドキドキ、ヤシガニを探しながら奥へ奥へと進み、海岸へ到着。懐中電灯を消したら満天の星空が、、、前日が雨だったので期待していなかったのに、感動でした。真っ暗な海を目の前に星と月明かりだけなのもなかなか体験できないものでした。
ヤシガニは肌寒いのもあり、なかなか現れず、ガイドさんが珍しい植物や地形の話をしてくださりながら出没スポットをめぐり、同じグループの方がついに発見!
グロテスクな色にびっくりでした。
ヤシガニ、星空、夜のジャングル全て大満足のツアーでした。
息子はこの旅行で1番の思い出になったようです。
ガイドをしていただいた銀ちゃん、スタッフの方々ありがとうございました。
At the beginning of April, it was cold at night, so a long-sleeved shirt and a jacket were just right.
4月初めでも夜は寒く、長袖に上着で丁度よかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
It was a bit cold that day, and we couldn't see the stars, and our target, the coconut crab, was hard to find... However, everyone persevered and continued searching until the end, and we were able to see the coconut crab in its hole together! I'm glad everyone got to see this natural monument!
The creatures that appear in the jungle change from day to day, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Ishigaki Island! We look forward to seeing you again!

全員が諦めず最後まで探し続けた結果、穴の中にいたヤシガニを全員で見ることができましたね^_^
皆さんに天然記念物を見ていただくことができて良かったです!
ジャングルは日によって出てくる生き物が変わってくるので、また石垣島に来た際は参加してみて下さい!

I thought it would be tight on time to explore Mishima in one day, so I opted for a tour departing for Taketomi Island at 2:30 PM. Thanks to that, I was able to spend the morning enjoying an experience playing with dolphins, making it a meaningful day.
We departed from the Euglena Island Terminal at 2:30 PM and arrived at Taketomi Island in less than ten minutes. We boarded a microbus that took us to the water buffalo cart terminal station (laughs).
There, we checked in for the water buffalo cart ride and waited for our names to be called by the staff. Since the number of people who can ride the water buffalo cart is limited, they consider the size of the group when distributing spots.
After a few minutes of waiting, my name was called, and I boarded the water buffalo cart. From there, we embarked on a 30-minute city tour while listening to the guide's explanations and watching the buffalo's rear end (laughs). The buffalo knows the route and walks on its own, but the guide manages the pace, hurrying or stopping as needed to maintain distance from the cart in front.
While some roads on Taketomi Island are paved, the paths for the water buffalo cart are all unpaved sandy roads. We moved at a slower pace than a person walking, but the buildings and the trees and flowers planted here and there created a landscape that truly felt like "this is Okinawa! This is the Yaeyama Islands," which was moving. Sometimes the guide played the sanshin and sang, creating a nice atmosphere. It was amusing when the buffalo decided to take a break while the music was playing, causing the cart to stop.
We circled around the main street of the island and returned to the water buffalo gathering spot at the station where we started, where we disembarked. We could take a commemorative photo, but it was a small card-sized picture, so if you want a clearer two-shot with the buffalo, you can purchase it for 1,800 yen. We bought it.
After that, we had about an hour until the return boat departed. If we had rented bicycles, we could have made it to the Star Sand Beach, but we decided to leisurely explore the village instead.
We enjoyed seeing various sights and sipping on banana smoothies, which made for a perfectly timed experience. From there, we took the bus back to the port from where we first disembarked. We even had time to browse for souvenirs before the return boat arrived.
We boarded the same boat at 5 PM to return to Ishigaki. We got off the boat around 5:10 PM, making it roughly a two-and-a-half-hour tour. It was just right for a half-day of fun. I recommend it for those who are thinking, "I have some free time in the afternoon."
If you want to experience the leisurely space and time that you often see in images, definitely give it a try.
一日で三島を巡るのは時間的にきつそうと思い,竹富島へは午後2時半出発のツアーとしました。おかげで午前中にイルカと遊ぶ体験をする時間も取れて有意義な一日を過ごすことができました。
2時半にユーグレナ離島埠頭を出港して10分足らずで竹富島に到着。待っていたマイクロバスに乗って水牛車のターミナルステーション(笑)まで運んでもらえます。
そこで水牛車に乗る受付をして、係の人に名前を呼ばれるのを待ちます。水牛車に乗れる人数が限られるので先方がグループの人数などを考慮して配分してくれます。
待つこと数分で名前を呼ばれて水牛車に乗り込みます。それからは牛使いさんの説明を聞きながら水牛のお尻をずっと見ながら(笑)約30分の市内周遊ツアーをすることになります。
牛さんは道順を覚えているので自発的に歩きますが、前の車との間隔などを配慮して牛使いさんが急がせたり止めたりしています。竹富島の道は舗装されているとこもありますが、水牛車が通る道は全て砂地の未舗装路です。そこをもったりもったり人が歩むより遅い速度で巡回するのですが、途中の建物やそこかしこに植えられた木や花が「これぞ沖縄!これぞ八重山諸島」という風景で感動します。時には牛使いさんが三線を弾いてアユタを歌ってきたりしていい感じ。音楽が流れている間中、牛さんが休憩してしまい水牛車が止まるのはご愛敬。島内のメイン通りをぐるっと回って出発したステーションのところにある水牛のたまり場?まで帰ってきてそこで下車です。
乗車記念で写真を撮ってもらえますが、それは名刺大くらいの小さなものなのでもっとはっきりした牛とのツーショットが欲しい場合は1,800円で購入です。うちは買いました。
それから帰港する船が出るまで約1時間くらいでした。レンタサイクルを利用すれば星の砂のビーチくらいまでは行けそうでしたが、自分たちはゆったり村内を回ることにしました。
あちこち見たり途中でバナナスムージーを飲んだりしてちょうどいい感じの時間配分でした。そこで最初にバスを降りたところから港へバスで送ってもらいます。そして帰りの船が来るまでお土産を見て回る時間もある位程度ありました。
乗ってきたのと同じ船に17時に乗って石垣へ帰ります。
船から降りると17時10分くらい。概ね2時間半くらいのツアーです。
半日遊ぶのにちょうどいい感じでした。時間的に「午後が空くなあ」と思ってる方にはおすすめです。
よく見るイメージ通りののんびりした空間・時間を味わいたい方、行ってみてください。
If you're going to the ferry terminal for the remote islands by car, I recommend using Parking Lot 2 instead of Parking Lot 1. There's a good chance you'll find available spots, and you can access the
車で離島フェリーふ頭へ行く方は第一Pではなく第2Pがお奨め。かなりの確率で空きがあるしフェリー埠頭へは駐車場の端から直接入れるので第一に停めて車や人で混む正式な入口から行くより便利です。
The tour guide was a nice person, and the weather was perfect, but I couldn't see the coconut crabs and the stars weren't visible either. No one is to blame; it was just bad luck! I want to see them next time!
ツアーのお兄さんも良い方で、天気も天候も最高でしたが、ヤシガニも会えず星空もそこまで見れなかったです。
誰も悪くなく、ただ単に運が悪かったです!
次は見たいです!
I wanted to go to Kabira Bay, so I joined a bus tour that was more affordable than taking a taxi. The tour itself wasn't bad, but my child seemed a bit bored. The time spent at each stop was also short, so I think those who want to take their time would enjoy a private taxi more.
川平湾に行きたくて、タクシーよりお手頃なバスツアーに参加しました。ツアー自体は悪くありませんでしたが、子供は少し退屈そうでした。立ち寄るポイントでの滞在時間も短かかったので、ゆっくり回りたい人はタクシー貸切の方が楽しめると思います。
It's quite difficult to set everything up by yourself, isn't it? Adjusting each schedule and making arrangements, among other things. I'm glad it went smoothly and efficiently. I rode the water buffalo cart twice, but once might have been enough.
自分では、なかなか全部を設定するのは難しいですよね。それぞれのタイムスケジュール調整や手配などなど。効率的に回れて、良かったです。
水牛車に2回乗りましたが、1回でも十分だったかも。
I was able to see coconut crabs and frogs that are natural monuments, and the experience of walking through the forest at night was very enjoyable! The guide, who was very active and climbed the cliffs barefoot in beach sandals, was the most entertaining to watch. Thank you for your hospitality!
ヤシガニや天然記念物?のカエルなど見れましたし夜の森を歩く体験がとても楽しかった!
裸足にビーチサンダルで崖を登るめちゃアクティブなガイドさんが見ていて一番面白かったです。お世話になりました!
It might be a good idea to apply insect repellent!
虫よけはかけていったほうがよいかも!
Thank you for using Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
Although we couldn't see the starry sky, we were able to encounter many creatures like coconut crabs, frogs, and hermit crabs!
Everyone loved the animals and reacted so well, which made it a lot of fun (^∇^)
Please come again (^_-)

石垣島 ADVENTURE PiPi しんぺい
The tour guide was entertaining and skilled at explaining things, which made the journey enjoyable. I also got to see the endangered coconut crab, which I don't usually encounter. It was a refreshing experience for both my mind and body, escaping the hustle and bustle of society and immersing myself in nature!
移動中もツアーガイドのお兄さんの面白い話しや説明も上手で楽しかったです。日頃見ることのない絶滅危惧種のヤシガニも見れました。喧騒な社会から自然界で非日常体験で心身共にリフレッシュ出来ました!
It might be a bit chilly, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket. I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
少し肌寒かったので、薄手のジャケットを持って行くといいです。汚れてもいいような服装がいいと思います。
I participated in a sightseeing bus tour of Ishigaki Island for the first time. At Kabi Park, we had the option to either take a stroll or pay an additional fee to ride a glass-bottom boat, so I chose the glass-bottom boat to see the coral reefs. Not only did we visit tourist attractions, but the bus guide provided clear and continuous explanations about the plants growing along the roads and local information about the town, making it enjoyable until the very end.
今回初めての石垣島観光バスツアーに参加しました。途中の川平公園で散策か追加費用を払ってグラスボートに乗って海中展望かを選択出来たのでグラスボートに乗ってサンゴ礁を観に行きました。観光名所だけで無く道に生えてる植物の説明や街中の地元情報までバスガイドさんの分かりやすく途切れのないガイドで最後まで楽しむことができました。
The guide known as "Hakase" was knowledgeable and entertaining, making it a tour where I could listen to him for a long time. The other two guides were also interesting, and I realized that the quality of the tour really depends on the guides. It was a cold day with bad weather, so we couldn't see the stars and didn't encounter many bugs, but the guide caught a coconut crab for us, which delighted my 6-year-old and 10-year-old children. Thank you very much.
「ハカセ」と呼ばれているガイドさんが知識が豊富で面白くて、話をずっと聞いていられるツアーでした。他の2人のガイドさんもお話が面白くて、ツアーって本当にガイドさんの質で決まるんだなぁと思いました。寒くて天気も悪い日で星空も見えず、沢山の虫にも会えませんでしたが、ガイドさんがヤシガニを捕まえてきてくれて、6才と10才の子ども達も大喜びでした。ありがとうございました。
You will explore the dark mountain path for about 1 to 2 hours in rubber boots. It may be challenging for very small children who cannot walk the path on their own to participate.
真っ暗闇の山道を長靴で1〜2時間ほど散策します。自力で山道を歩けないようなあまり小さい子供だと参加は大変かもしれません。
I toured Mishima with my middle school and university children and participated in a bus tour on Taketomi Island. We enjoyed beautiful scenery everywhere, gained knowledge about plants and creatures during the mangrove journey, and the bus drivers guided us to wonderful sightseeing spots, sharing interesting insights about the local population and customs. There were also occasions where we could listen to traditional island songs played on the sanshin while riding a water buffalo cart, which was a lot of fun. The lunch featured local cuisine, which included some sweet dishes that didn't quite suit my taste, but I nearly finished everything. I'm really glad I participated in the tour.
中学生と大学生の子供を連れて三島を巡り、竹富島でのバスコースを参加しました。どこにも綺麗な景色を楽しめたし、マングローブへの旅で植物や生き物の知識を習得し、バスの運転手さん達は素敵な観光スポットを案内していただき、現地の人口構成や生活風習等も面白く紹介してくださり、水牛車で伝統な三線を弾いて島唄を聴かせていただける場合もあり、とても楽しかったです。ランチは郷土料理なので、甘いものがあり、口に合わないこともあるが、ほぼ完食しました。ツアーに参加して本当に良かったのです。
It was a bit pricey, but the driver was very polite and kind, which was great. I will use the service again if I have the opportunity.
少々割高ですが、ドライバーさんがとても丁寧で、親切な方で良かったです。
また機会があれば利用させてもらいます。
This was my first time participating. My children love bugs, so we were looking forward to it. However, I had given up on other tours since they required participants to be in elementary school or older, but just before the trip, I found this tour that allows participation from age 3 and made an immediate reservation.
It was cloudy around noon, so I was worried about the starry sky, but we were able to see a sky full of stars. Since we had a 4-year-old with us, I thought they might be scared in the dark, but they were happy to follow their siblings with the flashlights that were provided, one for each of us.
We were able to find large and small coconut crabs, purple land hermit crabs, and other creatures, making it a very enjoyable tour. Additionally, we received photos from the day via LINE after the experience tour ended.
Thank you, Yoshimi, for providing an unforgettable experience for the children!
初参加です。子供達が虫など大好きなので、楽しみにしていましたが、どこのツアーも小学生以上で諦めていましたが、旅行直前に3歳から参加可能なこちらのツアーを見つけて即予約しました。
昼頃は曇っていたので、星空も心配してましたが、満点の星空が見えました。
4歳がいたので、暗いところは怖がるかと思っていましたが、懐中電灯を1人1つずつ貸してくれたので嬉しそうに兄弟の後ろを行ってさがしてました。
ヤシガニも大きいのから小さいの、ムラサキオカヤドカリ、ゲジゲジ、などを見つけるかができ、とても楽しいツアーでした。
また、当日の写真も体験ツアー終了後にLINEで送っていただきました。
よしみー、子供達にとっても忘れられない体験ををありがとうございました♪

I have ridden a water buffalo in the past, and this time I chose a glass-bottom boat in Taketomi Island. It was a surprisingly good experience, with sea turtles and beautiful coral reefs visible in the shallow waters. It made me reflect on the importance of protecting our beautiful oceans.
過去に水牛には乗った事があり、今回は竹富島でのグラスボートとしました。ウミガメがいたり、サンゴが群生しているかなり浅瀬の改定が見られたり・・・と想定以上に良い経験でした。きれいな海を守るべき。と改めて考えさせられるグラスボートでした。
The weather on the day was not great, with rain coming and going and occasional glimpses of sunshine, but we were able to visit three islands and even ride on a water buffalo cart! The staff members were very kind, and it was a tour with the best cost-performance, all while enjoying the leisurely flow of time.
当日はお天気がイマイチで雨が降ったりやんだり時折晴れ間がのぞいたりでしたが
3島も巡れて、しかも水牛車にも乗れちゃう!それぞれのスタッフさんもとても親切だし
ゆっくり流れる時間と共にコスパ最高なツアーでした♬
