All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The water buffalo tour was great, and I really enjoyed the slow pace of Taketomi. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also excellent and fun, so next time I want to rent a bicycle and explore the island's surroundings and see the star sand on the beach. The townscape is also very soothing.

水牛ツアーは、とても、竹富のゆっくり時間を堪能出来て良かったです
ガイドさんの三線も、上手で楽しかったので、今度は、自転車を借りて島の周囲とか浜の星の砂を見に行きたいと思います。
街並みも、癒されます。

Despite the starry sky index being only 10% (almost no visibility expected), we were able to see a sky full of stars at the coast. The tour guide was kind and adventurous, teaching us various things to keep us entertained. I was particularly delighted when he climbed over the rocks to show us a coconut crab. The conversations in the car on the way to our destination were filled with interesting trivia about Ishigaki Island, making the tour very enjoyable. Since this visit was in winter, I would like to come back in summer when the stars are beautiful and the animals are more active. Thank you for today.

星空指数10%(ほぼ見える見込みなし)の状態だったのに、海岸で満天の星空が見えました。ツアーガイドの方は優しく、冒険家で私たちを楽しませるために、色んなことを教えてくれました。特に、ヤシガニを見せるために、岩場を乗り越えて、私たちにヤシガニを届けてくれたのが非常に嬉しかったです。目的地までの車の中のトークも石垣島の豆知識を教えてくれて、非常に楽しくツアーに参加することが出来ました。今回は冬の訪問だったので、次回は星が綺麗に見えるかつ、動物が活発な夏に訪問したいです。
本日はありがとうございました。

Thank you for providing such a fun experience this time. Stargazing and searching for creatures in the jungle were incredibly enjoyable. Our guides, two young individuals for a group of eight, were very knowledgeable about plants and animals, and they were kind to our children, who were thrilled. The tour was originally scheduled from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM, but we ended up finishing at 10:30 PM! Both guides not only taught us how to take wonderful photos during stargazing but also carefully helped us find various plants and animals, including coconut crabs, without worrying about their working hours. They were the best supporters for creating great memories. I felt a bit embarrassed, as I usually think about things in terms of hourly wages, haha.

For those who will be participating in the future, guides Shinobu and Misaki are fantastic! ❤︎ Please join us in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! One thing I was curious about was that we borrowed rubber boots because we might encounter habu snakes, but both guides were wearing flip-flops. I wondered if they weren't afraid of the snakes.

今回はとっても楽しい体験をさせていただきありがとうございました。星空観察もジャングルでの生き物探しもすっごく楽しかったです。ガイドさんは8名のグループにつき2人ついてくれて、2人ともお若いのに動植物の知識が豊富で、また我が家の子供達にも優しくて大喜びでした。また、ツアーは本来19時半から21時半なのに解散したら22時半でした！2人のガイドさんとも、星空観察だけでなく素敵な写真の撮り方を教えてくださったり、ヤシガニ含めていろいろな動植物を丁寧に探して下さったり、自分たちの勤務時間気にする事なく良い思い出づくりの最高のサポーターでした。いつも時給で物事を考えている自分がすこし恥ずかしくなりました笑
これからご参加の皆様、ガイドのしのぶさんとみさきさん、最高です❤︎ 汚れても良い服装で是非ご参加を！1点だけ気になったのは、私達はハブなどでるかもしれないから、と長靴を貸していただき履きましたが、ガイドさんは2人ともビーチサンダルで、ハブ怖くないのかしら、という事ぐらいです。

In Okinawa, I was able to feel the charm of Ishigaki and the surrounding islands, and I was amazed by the power and strength of the water buffalo. I felt it was a tour I would like to experience again.

沖縄、石垣、離島の風情を感じることができ、水牛の迫力と力強さには驚きました。また、体験したいツアーだと感じました。

At first, we were given tickets and just moved in order, so it was very easy, straightforward, and we could enjoy the sightseeing smoothly without waiting.

In terms of content, we could see the mangroves well, crossed the sea on a water buffalo, and surprisingly, the food was delicious, which was great.

This time, we traveled with a group of tourists. They talked a lot, laughed loudly, and during the water buffalo ride, they played the sanshin and started singing. We had to wait because we couldn't gather at the meeting time, which delayed the arrival of other guests at their destination, Taketomi Island (although we didn't have that plan).

If we had been with people of the same age, we might have talked, but for us, it was a negative point.

I thought this plan was aimed at group tourism.

It's for those who don't want to move around much. We would have preferred to do the mangrove kayaking instead.

最初にチケットを渡され　順番に移動していくだけなのでとても簡単で、分かりやすく、待つこともなくスムーズに観光できました。
内容的にはマングローブもよく見えて、水牛で海を渡り、意外とご飯も美味しくて、良かったです。
今回私達は団体旅行客と一緒に回りました。とにかく　よくしゃべり、大声で笑う、水牛の時は三線を弾いてくれたのに、歌い出す。
集合時間に集合できず待たされる。その為他のお客さんの目的地　竹富島到着が遅れていた。（私達は行かないプランですが）
同じ年代の人達ならお話もしたかもしれませんが、私達にはマイナスポイントでした。

こちらのプランは団体向けの観光だと思いました。

あまり動きたくない人向けです。私達ならマングローブカヤックにすれば良かったです。

It was great to efficiently tour Ishigaki Island without renting a car, while also being able to sightsee and enjoy meals. The bus guide provided detailed information that helped me understand Ishigaki Island better, which I wouldn't have known on my own. Even in January, the blue sea and blue sky of Ishigaki Island were amazing.

レンタカーを借りずに石垣島を効率よく一周回れて、観光もできて、食事もできて良かったです
個人で回ってもわからないようなことをバスガイドさんが詳しく教えてくださるので石垣島の事がよくわかります
１月でも石垣島の青い海と青い空は最高でした

It was great to leisurely and efficiently visit the island's attractions with a charming guide who spoke with a smile. Not only did we see the tourist spots, but we also received explanations about various places on the island that we wouldn't have known about on our own, which felt like a great value.

For lunch, we enjoyed Ishizaka beef hamburgers and Miminga at a restaurant with a nice view, and everything was very delicious.

Lastly, we got to listen to some sanshin songs, which made for wonderful memories. I highly recommend it! ❣️

笑顔語り口魅力的なガイドさんとのんびり、しかも無駄なく効率的に島の名所を回れてとても良かったです。観光地だけでなく、自分達で回るのでは知り得ない島内の随所の説明もありお得感満載。
昼食は眺めのよい店で石坂牛ハンバーグ、ミミンガ等土地の食べ物網羅されとても美味しかったです。
最後に三線の唄も聞けとてもよい思い出となりました。オススメします❣️

It was great to efficiently tour each island while hitting all the key points. I recommend it for those who may have concerns about their stamina or are visiting the islands for the first time.

各島、ポイントを押さえて効率良く周遊できて良かったです。体力に不安な方や初めての島巡りにおすすめです。

I saw a wonderful starry sky like never before, and on the night jungle tour, I was finally able to see the much-anticipated coconut crab! They also took commemorative photos and sent the data for free. The guide was very articulate, and I was able to enjoy the bus ride without getting bored at all! They shared many tips about scenic spots not listed in the Ishigaki Island guidebook, recommended delicious restaurants, and ways to enjoy Ishigaki Island, making me really glad I participated in this tour! Thank you very much!

今までに見た事のないような、素晴らしい星空を、また、ナイトジャングルツアーでは、待望のヤシガニも見る事が出来ました！記念の写真も撮って頂き、データも無料で送ってくれました。ガイドさんが、とてもお話しの上手な方で、バスの行き帰りも全く退屈することなく楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！石垣島のガイドブックに載っていない絶景スポットやオススメの美味しいお店、石垣島の楽しみ方などを小ネタも交えながら、沢山お話ししてくれて、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました！ありがとうございました！

I was looking for an event to fill my free time during the night in Ishigaki Island, and that's when I signed up for this. Although there were thick clouds and I couldn't see the starry sky, it was so dark without any moonlight that it felt truly extraordinary and, in a way, interesting. The guide, wearing flip-flops, helped us discover various plants and creatures that can't be seen on the mainland, and I had a great time. I would like to come back and experience it in a different season.

石垣島での夜が暇になってしまうことで何かイベントを探していたところ、今回こちらに申し込みました。分厚い雲があって星空は見られませんでしたが、ライトを消すと月明かりも何もなく本当に真っ暗過ぎて非日常で逆におもしろかったです。
ガイドさんがビーサン姿で次々と探しだして頂き、本土では見られない植物や様々な生き物たちを見ることができて、とても楽しかったです。今度は季節を変えてリピートしたいと思っています。

I had a great time. The guide was very experienced and explained things while occasionally playing the sanshin. It was a sunny day, so the scenery was fantastic, and there were moments when the guide took photos for us. The optional glass-bottom boat ride was also wonderful; the sea was very beautiful, and we were able to see sea turtles and coral.

とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんがとても慣れた方で、ところどころ三線も引きながら説明してくださいました。この日は晴れていたので景色も最高で、ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくださる場面もありました。オプションで乗ったグラスボートも、海がとても綺麗でウミガメや珊瑚なども見ることができました。

Since I was traveling alone and didn't have a car, I was glad to be able to visit many tourist spots in a short amount of time. Both the guide and the driver were great, and I had a lot of fun.

ひとり旅だったので、車もないし、短い時間で、
沢山の観光地を回ってもらって良かったです。
ガイドさんも運転手さんもとても良かった、楽しかったです

I changed my schedule to participate after checking the weather forecast just before. Even though it was the New Year period, there were many participants, and we took a bus and a van to a beach about 30 minutes away.
We split into groups of about ten and made our way through the forest from the road to the beach while observing the wildlife, and we were able to see a starry sky at the beach. ⭐
I participated with my child, and since their interest in wildlife was endless, we fell behind significantly from the other groups, but the guides accommodated our pace. Since we weren't rushed, my child was very satisfied. We even got to see a small coconut crab.
During the ride, our talkative guide entertained us with stories about Ishigaki Island and the wildlife, so we never got bored.
It was a lot of fun, thank you!

直前の天気予報を見てスケジュールを変更して参加しました。年始の時期でしたが、たくさんの参加者がおり、バスやワゴン車に分乗して30分くらい離れたビーチへ行きました。
10人くらいのグループに分かれ、道路からビーチまでの林の中を生物の観察をしながら進み、ビーチでは満点の星空を見ることができました⭐
子連れで参加し、生物への子どもの興味が尽きないため、他のグループから大幅に遅れながらも子どものペースに寄り添ってくれました。急かされなかったので子どもも大満足でした。小ぶりながらもヤシガニにも会えました。
車中ではお話上手なガイドさんが石垣島や生物の話をして楽しませてくれ、退屈することがありませんでした。
とても楽しかったです、ありがとうございました

I was able to spend time very leisurely, forgetting about the clock.

It was great that there were many local dishes prepared for lunch.

I recommend exploring Taketomi Island by renting a bicycle.

時間を忘れてとてものんびりと過ごせました。

お昼ごはんは郷土料理がたくさん用意されていて良かったです。

竹富島はレンタサイクルで巡るのをオススメします。

If you get separated a little, the person in charge will change depending on the location, so be careful. It might be difficult for those who are not used to it, but I think the content is good. Those who have trouble keeping up should be cautious.

ちょっとはぐれると代わる代わるだから場所で担当変わるし気をつけて、なれない人は無理かも、内容は良いと思います。飲み込み悪い方は気を付けて

I participated in the tour held in mid-January! The weather was cloudy, making it somewhat difficult to see the starry sky, but I was glad to encounter unique wildlife like coconut crabs and large frogs that are characteristic of Ishigaki! Additionally, the guide was very cheerful and created a wonderful atmosphere, which made the experience even better! It felt like the tour was the best because of him. I would definitely like to participate again in the summer when the stars are said to be more visible!

1月中旬開催の当ツアーに参加しました！
ちょうど天気が曇りで星空は若干見えにくかったですが、ヤシガニや大きいカエルなど、石垣ならではの野生動物に会えたことは良かったです！
また、担当のお兄さんが非常に明るい方で、とても良い雰囲気を作っていてくれたのがとても良かったです！
担当のお兄さんあってこその最高のツアーだったように感じます。
次は星空も綺麗に見えると言われている夏などにまた機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！

We were blessed with warm weather and no wind. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it was very delicious. The guide sang several songs, and the snake lute was wonderful. I would like to participate again.

温暖で、風も無く良い天候に恵まれました。
昼食も期待してませんでしたが、大変美味しいかったです。ガイドさんが何曲も歌ってくれて、蛇三線も素晴らしかったです。又参加したいです。

It was a trip for two with my husband. We were able to relax, and the experience was rich. We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy the laid-back warmth of Okinawa.

主人との二人旅でした。のんびりできて、内容は豊富でした。
天気にも恵まれ沖縄のゆったりとした温かさを体験できました。

I was able to see creatures of the jungle, the Geminids meteor shower, and fireflies. The starry sky was particularly breathtaking. I was moved by the stars that I can't see in the city. I also saw many shooting stars. Additionally, I was thrilled by the extraordinary experience of exploring the pitch-black jungle with a flashlight. The guide's talk was entertaining, and it was clear that he was trying to make the guests enjoy themselves, which left a good impression. I was also happy that he sent me the photos later.

ジャングルの生き物やふたご座流星群、ほたるなどが見れました。
特に星空が圧巻でした。
都会では見れない星空に感激しました。
流れ星もたくさん見れみました。
また、真っ暗なジャングルを懐中電灯を持って探索する非日常体験にワクワクが止まりませんでした。
ガイドのお兄さんのトークも面白く、お客さんを楽しませようとしてることが伝わり好印象でした。
あとで写真を送ってくれたことが嬉しかったです。

During the bus ride to the tour, the guide enthusiastically shared information about the creatures we could observe on the island, which made me feel very excited about the tour! The tour was packed with content, including creatures we don't usually see and a beautiful starry sky, and I was extremely satisfied!

In particular, the experience of holding a coconut crab at the end of a light and taking a commemorative photo was a memorable moment! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience the island's nature! Additionally, the guide kindly provided us with little tips about the island, such as recommended shops and attractions, which was very helpful!

ツアーに向かうバスの中からガイドの方が島で観察できる生き物の情報などを熱心に語っていただき、とてもウキウキした気持ちでツアーに臨めました！
ツアーでも普段見ることのない生き物や綺麗な星空など、盛りだくさんの内容で大変満足でした！
特にツアー中に見つけたヤシガニについては実際にライトの先に掴んだ状態で持たせてもらい記念の写真をとっていただいたりと、思い出に残る体験となりました！
島の自然を感じたい方には是非おすすめのツアーとなります！！
また、ガイドさんもツアー以外の島のプチ情報(おすすめのお店や見どころなど)を教えていただき、親切にご対応いただきました！

The male water buffalo does not walk alone, and I learned that it defecates in the water, which was fun to know. The performance of the sanshin was also wonderful. Thank you.

雄の水牛は一頭では歩かない、排泄は水の中にするなど楽しく教えていただきました、三線の演奏も素晴らしかった。ありがとう

I traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, enjoyed the mangroves, and then rode a water buffalo to be pulled to Yufu Island. Thank you, Musashi!

石垣島から西表島に行き、マングローブを満喫してから、水牛に乗り由布島まで牽引してもらいました。ムサシありがとうございました

I was able to easily experience the long-awaited water buffalo cart ride. My child was scared of the water buffalo and hid their face during the commemorative photo, but when I said I wanted to buy it, they kindly stayed with us until my child lifted their face for the photo. I was very grateful for their kindness.
I was able to choose the return ferry time, but due to other circumstances, I selected an earlier time, so I didn't have enough time to leisurely enjoy the town's scenery. It would have been better if the ferry time on the way there had been a bit earlier.

念願の水牛車体験を手軽に出来ました。子供が水牛を怖がり記念写真を撮る時に顔を伏せてしまいましたが、購入すると言ったら顔を上げるまで撮影に付き合ってくださいました。とても親切でありがたかったです。
帰りのフェリーの時間を選べましたが、その後の都合で早い時間を選択した為、ゆっくり街並みを観る時間がありませんでした。行きのフェリーの時間がもう少し早いと良かったです。

I was looking for a tour that I could participate in with my 10-month-old daughter. It was very kind and appreciated that they helped us with getting on and off the boat and bus while carrying the stroller. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the mangroves. Riding a water buffalo while listening to shamisen music and crossing over to Yufuin Island became the best memory of this trip.

10ヶ月になる娘とも参加できるツアーを探していました。
船の乗り降りやバスの乗り降りもベビーカーを一緒に持ってくださりとても親切でありがたかったです。
マングローブの美しさに圧倒されました。
三味線を聴きながら水牛にのって由布島に渡れたのはこの旅一番の思い出になりました。

The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was enjoyable. I was able to see trees that can only be found here up close, and the explanations from the staff were clear and helpful, making the experience relaxing and pleasant.

The experience of crossing to Yubu Island by water buffalo was also unique to this location and enjoyable. On the island, I could take photos with the water buffalo, and the timing was just right for a complete tour. The lunch was average, nothing special.

Overall, I was able to efficiently and enjoyably explore the two islands, and I'm glad I participated.

西表島のマングローブクルーズが楽しかったです。ここでしか見られないような木々を間近で見られ、係のお姉さんの話もわかりやすくよかったですし、ゆったりと気持ちよかったです。
西表島から由布島に渡る水牛もここならでは体験でよかったです。島では水牛と一緒に写真も撮れて、時間的にも一周回るのにちょうどいい。お昼ご飯は可もなく不可もなくといったところでした。
全体的には２島を効率よく楽しく周らせていただき、参加してよかったです。

During this trip, I also went on snorkeling and kayaking tours, but this tour was the most fun. I was mainly interested in the starry sky, so the night jungle was secondary, but I really enjoyed the jungle. Just walking with a flashlight in the dark was exciting. Having a guide made me feel safe. I was able to see coconut crabs and owls, as well as some rare insects. The guide taught us a lot, which was very educational.

The sky was cloudy, but we were able to see the starry sky just when it cleared up. The guide provided many explanations about the constellations, which increased my knowledge about stars. It was also nice to hear stories about Ishigaki Island during the van ride. I'm glad I participated.

今回の旅行で他にシュノーケルやカヤックツアーも行きましたが、このツアーが一番楽しかったです。
星空目当てで、ナイトジャングルは二の次でしたがジャングルとても楽しめました。暗闇の中懐中電灯を持って歩くだけでもワクワクしました。ガイドさんがいるから安心ですし。ヤシガニやフクロウも見れたし他にも珍しい昆虫も見れました。ガイドさんが色々教えてくれるのでとても勉強にもなりました。
空は曇ってましたが、ちょうどクリアになるタイミングで星空を見ることが出来ました。星座の説明もたくさんして下さって星の知識が増えました。
バンでの移動中も石垣島の話を聞けて良かったです。
参加して良かったです。

My first time in Ishigaki Island, and I was able to efficiently visit the islands. I was healed by the sound of the sanshin and singing while on the water buffalo cart. I was worried about the weather and didn't reserve a bicycle, but I was able to rent one on-site and enjoyed cycling for the first time in a while.

初めての石垣島　効率的に島々をまわれました。
水牛車の上での三線の音、歌声に癒されました。
お天気が心配で自転車を予約しませんでしたが現地で借りられ久しぶりのサイクリングを楽しみました。

I leisurely rode a water buffalo cart through the streets of old Okinawa. The staff were well-organized and provided great guidance, making for a pleasant experience. It was a good choice for an optional tour during my stay on the cruise, as the timing was just right.

水牛車に乗って昔の沖縄の街並みの中をのんびりと廻りました。スタッフの方も段取り良く案内もしてくれて気持ちよく過ごせました。クルージングの滞在の間のオプショナルツアーとして時間もきちんとしていて選んで良かったです。

I efficiently toured the beautiful spots of Ishigaki Island, which included lunch. The bus guide was very articulate and enjoyable to be with. I was impressed by the stunning scenery of Kabira Bay. I think the tour price was reasonable and a great deal.

石垣島の良い所を効率よく巡って昼食付きでした。
バスガイドさんもとてもお話上手で楽しい方でした。川平湾の景勝は美しく感激しました。
ツァー代金もお安くお得だと思います。

It was unfortunately rainy, but I was glad to be lent a large umbrella. The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was optional, but it felt like everyone was participating, making it hard to choose not to go. Overall, I was satisfied!

あいにくの雨でしたが、大きめの傘を貸していただき良かったです。川平湾のグラスボートは自由参加でしたが、みんな参加する流れ？という感じで行かないという選択肢をしにくかったです。でも全体的には満足でした！
