All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The tour was well-organized and very enjoyable. I had some concerns about participating in the tour as a pregnant woman in her stable period, but I was able to relax and fully enjoy it. The highlight for me was riding the water buffalo cart, which I had always dreamed of doing.

ツアーに無駄がなく、とても楽しめました。
安定期の妊婦でのツアー参加に少し不安はありましたが、のんびりと満喫できました。
憧れの水牛車に乗れたのが1番嬉しかったです。

I joined this tour because I wanted to ride a water buffalo cart. It's efficient since you can visit three islands in one day. There was enough time on Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much time on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo cart ride I was looking forward to was very pleasant.

水牛車に乗りたくて参加しました。
1日で3島まわれるので効率が良いです。
西表島と由布島には時間的ゆとりがありましたが、竹富島はあまり余裕がなかったのだけが残念です。
楽しみにしていた水牛車はとても気持ちが良かったです。

I was hesitant to participate because of the rain forecast, but I decided to go for it after reading reviews that said you could encounter many creatures in the rain. Although we couldn't see the stars, the deep jungle provided enough cover from the rain, and once we reached the beach, we were able to search for creatures in a nearby cave, so it was fine.

Thanks to the staff and a knowledgeable child who was also participating, we encountered even more creatures. We saw three coconut crabs, as well as other crabs, a scorpion fish, a sea snake, an eel, frogs, and many other unique creatures of Ishigaki Island, making for a very enjoyable time. My daughter and I both love various creatures, so it became a great memory.

For those hesitant about the rain forecast, I recommend participating without hesitation.

雨予報だったので参加を迷ったのですが、口コミに雨だと生き物に多く出会えるなどかかれていたので思い切って参加しました。星空は見られませんでしたが、深いジャングルの中は木に遮られてさほど雨はかかりませんでしたし、浜に出てからも近くの洞窟で生き物探しをしたので大丈夫でした。
スタッフの方はもちろん、参加されていた生き物に詳しいお子様のお陰でより多くの生き物に出会えました。ヤシガニ3匹、その他にもカニやサソリもどき、ウミヘビ、ウツボ、カエルなどなど、石垣島ならではの生き物を身近にみられとても楽しい時間でした。娘も私も色々な生き物が好きなので、良い思い出になりました。
雨予報で迷っている方は迷わず参加する事をおススメします。

The canoeing on the Miyara River honestly had a bit of a smell that initially put me off, but as I continued paddling, I was able to forget about it and enjoy myself.

There was a little over two hours between the morning canoeing and the afternoon snorkeling, so I thought I should have planned to return to the hotel for a bit. Those not on the hotel shuttle had to wait on Ishigaki Island. Two hours can't be filled just with lunch, so I ended up going back to the hotel to take a shower, wash my swimsuit, and change before heading back to the port.

The blue cave for snorkeling was not at all like the Blue Grotto in Naples, which I had imagined, so I was a bit disappointed. The snorkeling itself lasted about 30 minutes, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea. Overall, the staff were kind and it was a good experience.

カヌーをした宮良川は正直臭いがあって最初はひいてしまいましたが、カヌーで進んでいくうちに忘れて楽しむことができました。
午前のカヌーと午後のシュノーケリングの間が2時間強開いたのでホテルに一旦戻る予定にしておけばよかったと思いました。ホテル送迎じゃない組は石垣島で待機になります。2時間はランチじゃ潰せないので、結局ホテルに一度戻ってシャワーを浴びて、水着も洗濯して着替えて再度港へ向かいました。
シュノーケリングの青の洞窟は全然青の洞窟じゃないです。ナポリの青の洞窟を連想してたので、拍子抜けでした。シュノーケリング自体は30分程でしたがきれいな海の中を堪能できました。
総じてスタッフさんも親切でよかったです。

I was able to efficiently visit the sights during my morning tour of Ishigaki Island, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable, making for a great time. It was also nice to be able to make a stop at the airport along the way.

午前の石垣島観光で、効率よく名所を回ることができ、ガイドの解説も楽しく良い時間を過ごせました。また空港で途中下車できたのも良かったです。

I felt the spirit of Okinawa that connects to the present, knowing that the crossing by water buffalo cart began with a man who defied the administration.

水牛車での渡りが、行政に刃向かった一人の爺さんから始まったことを知って、今に通じる沖縄の魂を感じた。

I had a great time chatting with the guide and observing various creatures. I was surprised to suddenly encounter a habu snake. It was an enriching tour with explanations that were easy for children to understand and full of humor.

ガイドさんとの会話も楽しく、いろいろな生き物を観察できてとても楽しかったです。いきなりハブに遭遇したのには驚きました。こどもにもわかりやすく、ユーモアあふれる解説で充実したツアーでした。

I was able to efficiently explore the islands on my first trip to Ishigaki Island. It was great to stop at Taketomi Island and travel the way we wanted.

初めての石垣島旅行で離島巡りを効率的にできました。竹富島で途中下船して自分たちのやりたい様に旅ができて良かったです。

I didn't know anything about Ishigaki, but the person was very kind and taught me a lot. They were also an excellent driver, and I had a lot of fun. I wondered if it was tough for them to drive for such a long time, but they patiently accompanied me, and I truly felt that coming to Ishigaki was a great decision.

石垣については全く知らなかったのですが、とても親切な方で色々なことを教えていただき、運転も非常に上手でとても楽しかったです
長時間のプランを申し込んで運転も大変だったかなとか思ったりもしたのですが、粘り強く付き合っていただき、石垣に本当に来てよかったと思えました

I participated with my three-year-old grandchildren.
We had a lot of fun with the mangrove boat, glass-bottom boat, and water buffalo cart.

3歳の孫たちと参加しました
マングローブの船
グラスボート
水牛車
と盛りだくさんで、とても楽しかったです

I highly recommend experiencing it at least once! Not only is it quite fun, but the spontaneous interactions with the locals create wonderful shared moments... I believe everyone has their own unique way of enjoying it.

一度は是非体験してみては如何でしょう⁈
結構楽しいだけでなく
島の方々とのふとした交流がまた素敵な時間を共有できて…
皆さんの楽しみ方は無限だと思います

I was able to efficiently explore Mishima. I recommend it for first-time visitors or those with limited time. The guides on Iriomote Island were also very skilled and provided great assistance.

効率よく三島巡りができました。初めて訪問する場合や時間が無い場合におすすめします。西表島のガイドの方々の案内もとても上手でよかったです。

Thank you for discovering the nature of Iriomote (Amur Falcon), the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and the wonderful cycling tour of Taketomi Island. Next year, I will walk around Taketomi Island all day.

西表の自然（アンムリワシ）発見、由布島への水牛車ありがとう、そして竹富島を自転車で観光素晴らし。来年は、一日中竹富島を歩いて廻ります。

The bus driver, who was also the guide for the mangrove tour, was driving alone, and I could feel their effort. I think it was good because I was able to hear some enjoyable stories.

バスの運転手、マングローブの運転手が一人で運転しながらガイドをしていたので頑張りが伝わって来た。楽しい話も聞けたので良いと思う。

Among the many remote islands, I was able to enjoy a compact and well-planned sightseeing experience. It was my first visit to Ishigaki Island, and I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the nature and scenery of the Yaeyama Islands, as well as the unique charm of each island. I absolutely recommend it.

On the ferry to Iriomote Island, I paid 500 yen for a premium seat, and the view from next to the captain's seat was amazing. I was moved to be able to take commemorative photos.

The mangrove forest made me truly feel like I was in a tropical paradise, and the water buffalo on Yubu Island were incredibly cute. The relaxed atmosphere and the songs played on the sanshin added to the ambiance.

On the glass-bottom boat in Taketomi, I was able to see many fish, including the clownfish. Everything was just fantastic.

離島がいくつもある中で、計画的にコンパクトに観光ができました。初めて訪れた石垣島でしたが、八重山の自然と景色の美しさ、それぞれの島の良さを堪能することができました。絶対オススメです。西表島に渡る船では500円出してプレミアムシートにしましたが、船長席の脇から眺める景色は最高でした。記念撮影をさせていただき感動でした。
マングローブの林は南国に来た実感が湧き、由布島に渡る水牛もとても可愛いらしかったです。のんびりとした時間が流れ三線での歌も雰囲気を盛り上げてくださいました。
竹富のグラスボートではカクレクマノミ始め沢山の魚を見ることができました。とにかく全て最高でした。

The shuttle service to the hotel allowed us to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island all in one day.

I don't think I could have planned such an efficient trip on my own.

The water buffalo on Yubu Island really gave me a sense of being in a foreign land, and it was a lot of fun.

Renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island was definitely the right choice! Although our stay was a bit short and we couldn't stop by any shops, I was very satisfied with visiting the beaches I wanted to see, including the Star Sand Beach!

ホテルまでの送迎もあり1日で西表島～由布島～竹富島と３島を効率よく回れました

自分でプラン立ててたらなかなかここまで効率よく回れないと思いました

由布島の水牛がとても異国を感じさせてくれて楽しかったです

竹富島は自転車借りて正解！少し滞在時間が短かったのでお店などには寄れなかったけど行きたかった海岸や星の砂のビーチを巡れて大満足です！

There was a lot of moving around, and I felt that the time spent at each sightseeing spot was a bit lacking. It might be good for those who want to efficiently visit many places in one day.

移動が多く、それぞれの観光時間が少し物足りなく感じました。効率よく一日でたくさん回りたい方にはいいかもしれません。

Canoeing and snorkeling were both my first experiences in life.

Regarding canoeing, the location was a subtropical jungle, and it felt like we were navigating through a river surrounded by mangroves.

Snorkeling was an event where we entered the beautiful sea and swam while observing cute coral reefs and fish. The guide was incredibly kind and gently pointed out the highlights, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any prior planning. Even if you can't swim, you can still enjoy snorkeling, so I highly recommend it.

I had an amazing experience doing something I normally wouldn't get to do, and it completely cleared away my usual stress. I would love to participate again.

カヌーに乗るのもシュノーケリングをするのも人生初めてでした。
カヌーについて、場所は亜熱帯のジャングルで、マングローブに挟まれる川を潜り抜ける感じでした。
シュノーケリングは美しい海に入り、泳ぎながら可愛い珊瑚礁と魚を見るイベントでした。
ガイドの方がすごく親切で、優しくポイントを教えてくれて、事前に何も考えずに遊びに行けます。泳げなくても、シュノーケリングを楽しめられますから、非常におすすめです。
普段体験できないことを最高に体験できて、普段のストレスを一掃しました。
また参加したいと思います。

It was raining, and the boat to Iriomote Island was rocking quite a bit, but when I boarded the mangrove cruise ship, the rain lightened up and it was great to open the windows for viewing. The boat got close to the sights, and the guide was very clear and informative, which was wonderful. The water buffalo on Yubu Island were also interesting, and the guide's stories were entertaining, but it seemed that from the very back seat, the voice didn't reach very well, so I recommend sitting at the front!

雨が降っており、西表に行く船はよくゆれたがマングローブのクルーズ船に乗った時は、小雨になり窓を開けての見学はとても良かったです。近くまで船が寄ってくれ、ガイドの方も分かりやすくとてもよかったです。
由布島の水牛も、ガイドさんの話が面白くてよかったが、一番うしろの席だと声はあまり届かなかったようなので、一番前がお勧めですね♪

I was able to efficiently visit three remote islands.
(I think it would have been difficult for an individual on their first time.)
This is a recommended tour for first-timers.

離島３島をとても効率よくまわることができました。
（初めてで個人ならば難しかったと思います。）
初めての方におすすめのツアーです。

I was grateful for the shuttle service from the hotel. Although there was no tour guide, I had no trouble and was able to enjoy sightseeing smoothly. It was nice that I could use the bus to visit the village and Kaiji Beach during my free time on Taketomi Island.

ホテルから送迎があるのが有り難かったです。
添乗員は居ないけど困ることはなくスムーズに観光出来ました。
竹富島はフリータイムでしたがバス利用で集落やカイジ浜に行けたので良かったです。

The bus driver's storytelling was excellent.
The stories were so engaging that the atmosphere in the bus was lively.

This was my first time visiting, and although it was a whirlwind one-day tour,
everyone was very satisfied, especially since it was my mother's wish to go.

I have created more memories with my mother on this trip. ♡

バスの運転手さんのお話が上手。
〇み〇ろ並みのお話で、車内盛り上がりました。

今回、初の上陸、駆け足での1日のツアーではありましたが、
「行きたい」と言ってくれた母の立っての場所という事もあり、
同行者全員大満足でした。

母との旅の思い出がまた増えました♡

There is a walking course in Yufushima, and I was truly able to enjoy nature surrounded by tropical trees! The lunch was also delicious Okinawan cuisine.

由布島の中は散策できるコースがあり、まさに南国の木々に囲まれた自然を満喫できました！昼食も沖縄料理で美味しかったです。

I was able to efficiently explore each island in a short amount of time while truly experiencing their charm. I would like to request this again.

短時間で効率良く回りながら、それぞれの島の魅力もちゃんと感じることができました。またお願いしたいです。

I was able to relax on Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island in just one day. The colors of the sea and sky were wonderful, so I've decided to go again in June. Next time, I want to experience the sunset and stargazing.

1日で西表島と竹島をゆったりできました、海や空の色が素晴らしく6月に再度いくことにしました。
次回はサンセットや星空観察など体験したいと思います。

I participated with four friends, and it was fun to feel the power of nature in the mangroves while canoeing. The weather was great, so we were able to snorkel in the best conditions and create wonderful memories! The instructors were friendly and easy to talk to, which was nice! Thank you very much! ^_^

友達4人で参加しましたー、カヌーはマングローブの自然のパワー感じれて楽しいかったですし、晴れたので最高のコンディションでシュノーケリングできていい思い出ができました！インストラクターのお兄さん達も話しやすくて明るくてよかったです！ありがとうございました^_^

I was very satisfied that all the places I wanted to visit were included. It was a plan that would have been impossible to organize on my own; truly a professional from the area.

行って見たかった場所がすべてそろっていて大満足でした。個人で計画は無理なプランさすが現地のプロです。

You can efficiently explore Mishima in one day, and there are plenty of highlights to see. I recommend it for those visiting Yaeyama for the first time.

The boat from Ishigaki to Iriomote can be quite rocky for a while after departure, so be cautious. Now, it feels more like a roller coaster ride, which is amusing.

Yufu Island feels like a paradise of tropical plants and butterflies. The lunch was also delicious.

If I come to Taketomi Island again, I think I will rent a bicycle.

１日で三島を効率よく回ることができ、しかも見どころ沢山。初めて八重山に行く方にオススメです。
石垣から西表に向かう船は、出発からしばらく凄く揺れるのでご注意。今となっては、ジェットコースター感覚でご愛敬という感じ。
由布島は熱帯植物と蝶々の楽園という感じ。お昼ご飯もおいしかった。
竹富島は、今度来ることがあればレンタサイクルを借りようと思う。

We participated as a couple. The jungle cruise in complete darkness was thrilling. The excitement of finding a scorpion, lizard, and coconut crab made me feel like a child again, even at nearly 60 years old. Additionally, the starry sky on the beach and the distant blinking of the Omaezaki lighthouse were truly precious experiences. Above all, the guide's explanations were thorough, detailed, and fascinating, which made it very enjoyable. It became a cherished memory of Ishigaki Island.

夫婦二人での参加とでした。真っ暗闇の中のジャン グルクルーズ。サソリモドキやトカゲ、ヤシガニを 見つけた時の感動。60歳近くになっても、子供に戻 ったようでした。また、浜辺での満点の星空と遠く 点滅する御前崎の灯台。とても貴重な体験でした。 そして、何よりガイドさんの解説が丁寧で細やか で、興味深く、とても良かったです。石垣島での大 切な思い出になりました。

I participated in this trip because I wanted to see the islands of the Yaeyama Islands during my first visit to Ishigaki Island.

It was great to efficiently tour Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day.

The lunch on Yufu Island was delicious, featuring a variety of Okinawan dishes. It was also fun to leisurely cross while listening to the sanshin and songs on the water buffalo cart.

On Taketomi Island, I chose the free walk plan, but I took a shuttle from the port to the village to tour the area by water buffalo cart, which was relaxing. After that, we went to see the ocean, so I missed the 4 PM boat and took the 5 PM boat instead. I was able to enjoy a lot of sightseeing, which was very nice.

初めての石垣島旅行で、八重山諸島の島を見てみたくて参加しました。

西表島、由布島、竹富島を効率よく1日で観光出来て良かったです。

由布島でのランチも沖縄のお料理盛りだくさんで美味しかったです。
水牛車で、三線と歌を聴きながらのんびり渡るのも面白かったです。

竹富島ではフリーウォークプランを選びましたが、港で集落を水牛車で周る観光の送迎車で集落へ行き、ゆっくり水牛車で周りました。
その後、海も見に行ったので、16時の船には間に合わず17時の船に乗りました。
たっぷり観光出来てとても良かったです。
