All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

When I participated, I was able to see various creatures such as coconut crabs, pythons, and owls. The starry sky was beautiful, and the guide shared enjoyable stories. I would like to participate again.

私が参加した時はヤシガニ、ハブ、フクロウ等様々な生き物を見ることが出来ました。
また、星空も綺麗でガイドさんが楽しくお話をしてくださいました。また参加したいと思います。

The mangrove tour was great, with the guide providing thorough explanations! I could really feel the mysteries of nature. The bus tour was also fun, as the driver and guide kept the atmosphere lively with interesting talks! The highlight was Yubu Island! The little water buffalo that had just debuted was so cute. The view of crossing the sea was lovely as well. There were many rare tropical plants on the island, which was wonderful! I was also satisfied to take a photo with the water buffalo at the end! However, my child took a long time to eat lunch, so the free time felt a bit short... I wished we could have explored a bit more. I think once my child gets a bit older, we might be more satisfied with that aspect.

マングローブツアーもしっかりとガイドさんが説明してくれてとてもよかったです！
自然の神秘を感じられました^^
バスツアーも運転手さん兼ガイドさんが面白いトークで盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです！
一番は由布島！デビューしたての小さい水牛さんがとても可愛かったです。
海を渡る光景も素敵でした。
島の中も珍しい南国の植物がたくさんありとてもよかったです！
最後は水牛さんと写真も撮れて満足でした！
子どもがお昼ご飯を食べるのに時間がかかってしまい自由時間が物足りなく感じました…。もう少し回りたかったです。また子どもがある程度大きくなったらその辺も満足なのかなと思いました。

All the activities were very good, but I was really tired, probably because I had children with me. It might be better to split it over two days. I recommend it for those who don't have much time.

すべてのアクティビティは、とても良かったですが、子供もいたせいかすごく疲れました。2日に分けても良いかな。時間がない方はおすすめです。

I initially planned to join a three-island tour, but since I couldn't make a reservation, I participated in a tour that only included Taketomi Island. In conclusion, I was able to enjoy sightseeing at my own pace during the free time, and the parfait I had at the parlor I was curious about was delicious!

当初3島巡りツアーに参加する予定でしたが、予約が取れず竹富島のみのツアーに参加させて頂きました。
結論、フリータイムに自分達のペースでゆっくり観光することができ、気になっていたパーラーで食べたパフェも美味しかったです♪

After arriving by plane, I requested a 4-hour tour starting at 2 PM. I had shared the points I wanted to see in advance, but upon meeting on the day, they asked for details (like what I wanted to do where) and quickly rearranged the schedule.

In particular, while my wife was having a shisa painting experience at Yaima Village, the driver took my child and me, who didn't need a crafting experience, to a recommended viewpoint, making effective use of our time.

I was also pleased with their flexible response, as they mentioned that there were many mosquitoes at the Yaeyama Palm Grove in Maebara, so we just viewed it from a distance and instead went to Maebara Beach.

Of course, their knowledge as a guide was abundant, and I was able to hear many interesting and informative stories. When I go again, I would like to request this tour once more and visit different spots.

飛行機で到着後、14時から4時間でお願いしました。
見たいポイントは事前にお伝えしましたが、当日お会いしてから詳細(どこで何をやりたいかなど)を聞いてくれて、すぐに予定を組み直してくれました。
特に、妻がやいま村でシーサーの色塗り体験をしている間に、特にものづくり体験が不要な私と子供を、運転手さんオススメの展望スポットに連れて行ってくれたりして、時間を有効に使ってくれました。
また米原のヤエヤマヤシ群落は蚊が多いとのことで、遠くから見るだけにして、代わりに米原ビーチに連れて行ってくれたりと、臨機応変な対応が嬉しかったです。
もちろんガイドとしての知識も豊富で、いろいろためになる話を聞くことができました。
今度行くときには、またこのツアーをお願いして、また別のスポットにも行きたいです。

On the last day from Kohama, I was guided through a day in Ishigaki Island, which also served as a preview for my next visit. Although I requested tourist spots that I found online, thanks to the driver's arrangements, I was taken to some hidden gem viewpoints. I never expected to have such a fulfilling day, and I truly enjoyed it. The experience included places that only a local driver would know, and it was so enriching that I almost don't want to share it with everyone. I definitely want to be guided again next time.

小浜からの最終日、次回の視察も兼ねて石垣島での一日を案内して頂きました。
ネットで調べたような観光地をリクエストしたものの、運転手さんの計らいでかなり穴場の絶景スポットへ連れて行ってもらいました。
こんなに充実した1日が過ごせるとは思わず、かなり満喫できました。
地元のドライバーならではの場所へも連れてってもらい出来れば皆んなに教えたくないレベルの充実した内容でした^ ^
次回も必ず案内して頂きたいです。

I participated with my 4-year-old and 2-year-old children. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we wore masks the entire time (including the kids). The mangrove tour was very sunny and hot, so it's important to stay hydrated. The kids were a bit fussy throughout since we had to wake up early. I felt that this kind of tour might be a bit too early for children of this age. (The parents got tired. Haha.) The water buffalo cart and sightseeing in Yubujima were very enjoyable, as the water buffalo were adorable. The lunch bento included ingredients and dishes typical of Okinawa, which was great. The kids had zaru soba separately. I recommend taking commemorative photos with the water buffalo during the Yubujima tour. Since it starts early, I think parents with preschoolers should ensure they get a good night's sleep the night before to enjoy the tour.

4歳と2歳の子供を連れて参加しました。コロナ禍ということもあり、基本はマスクをずっと着用しました。（子供も）マングローブ遊覧はとにかく日差しが強い、暑いので水分補給はこまめにした方がいいです。子ども達は朝が早かったこともあり、終始ぐづついていました…。これくらいの歳の子達にはまだマングローブ遊覧は早いかな？という印象でした。（親が疲れました。笑）由布島の水牛車や観光は、水牛さん達が可愛くてとても楽しかったです。お昼のお弁当も沖縄らしい食材や料理が入っており、すごく良いです。子ども達は別途、ざる蕎麦を食べさせました。由布島観光の水牛さんとの記念撮影はオススメです。朝が早いので未就学児連れの方はツアーを楽しむためにも前日しっかり寝かせておいた方がいいと思います。

Even if you leave early in the morning, you will be rushing quite a bit since you are visiting all three islands in one go.

I wouldn't recommend this for those who want to take their time, but it's great for those who want a quick tour...

On the way back from Yubu Island and during the sightseeing in Taketomi Island, I was really healed by being pulled by a water buffalo while enjoying the sound of the sanshin.

I panicked a bit when I ran out of drinks in Taketomi Island, as there were no places to buy anything. ^^:

I think it's better to secure your drinks before starting your cycling.

早朝出発しても、やはり、3島を一気に巡るので、かなり駆け足です。

ゆっくり巡りたい方はオススメしませんが、サラッと巡りたい方はオススメです…

由布島からの帰り道と竹富島観光では、水牛に引かれて、三線を奏でて頂き、本当に癒されました。

竹富島では飲み物が無くなり、売ってる所が無いので、かなり焦りました。^^:

飲み物を確保してから、サイクリング
は出発した方がいいと思います。

I used it until my evening flight on the last day! First of all, I was impressed by the service from the staff at the bus stop! They were very kind and friendly! It was raining, but they generously lent me an umbrella!

Unfortunately, it rained all day, but I was able to quickly visit the main spots, which was nice! The lunch was also quite substantial!

I think it's more economical than renting a car for two people!

最終日に夕方の飛行機までに利用しました！
まず最初のバス乗り場の係員さんの接客に感動しました！とっても優しく親切です！雨だったのですが、傘も快く貸していただけました！

残念ながら一日の雨でしたが主要なスポットをさくっと回れて、楽でした！お昼ごはんもかなりボリュームがあります！

二人だったらレンタカー借りるよりお得かなと思います！

I thought it would be quite a fast-paced tour since we were visiting three islands in one day, and it turned out to be just that. However, for someone like me who was visiting for the first time, this speed was actually very comfortable. We got to sample the best parts of each island and fully enjoy the main attractions, which made for a very high level of satisfaction. If there’s an island I particularly liked, I can visit it again next time, and since I've already been there once, I think I’ll be able to enter smoothly and enjoy it even more!

3島を1日で巡るということでかなり早足なツアーになると思ってその通りだったのだが、初めて訪れる僕みたいな人は実際このスピードが最高に心地良かったです。それぞれのいいとこちょこっと取り、各島のメインをしっかり味わうことができて満足度はすごく高かったです。ここからさらに気に入った島があれば次回以降そこに行けば一回見てるのでスムーズに入島できてより楽しめると思います！

The quick trip without stopping at Taketomi was just the two of us, and we laughed when we returned to Taketomi Port and found no one on the large ship. The Dream Tourism boat is big and hardly sways, so it might be recommended for those who are prone to seasickness.

竹富によらない早回りは、私たち夫婦だけで、帰路竹富港で寄港した時に大きな船にだれも居なくなり笑いました。ドリーム観光の船は大きくてほとんど揺れませんし、船に弱い方にはおすすめかもしれません。

Iriomote Island → Mangroves, Yubu Island → Round trip by water buffalo, Taketomi Island → Star sand searching and glass-bottom boat.

This tour was perfect for our family, who are beginners at visiting remote islands (father, mother who is four months pregnant, and a five-year-old child)! It was an efficient way to visit the classics.

Since transportation costs and lunch are included, we could move smoothly without any hesitation. The round-trip high-speed ferry is relatively large, so even with slightly high waves, it was comfortable and we didn't get seasick. We were able to take a nap during the trip, which allowed us to explore the islands energetically.

The lunch featuring mimiga (pork ear) with shikuwasa and purple sweet potato tempura was delicious and memorable! Our five-year-old child was free for the tour, so they didn't have lunch, but the portion was large enough that we could share from the mother's plate, which worked out perfectly.

I felt that the time spent on Taketomi Island was short. It was a remote island where I could appreciate the atmosphere and the beauty of the sea. I would love to visit again next time, especially the cobalt blue Kondoi Beach and Kaiji Beach, where you can find star sand.

I think this tour is a great way to discover your favorite remote islands!

西表島→マングローブ、由布島→往復で水牛、竹富島→星の砂探しとグラスボート。
離島初心者の我が家（父、妊娠4ヶ月の母 、5歳の子供）にはピッタリ！定番を効率よく回れるツアーでした。

移動費も昼食代も込みなので、あれこれ迷うことなくスムーズに行動できます。
往復の高速フェリーも大きめなので、波が少々高くても船酔いしにくく安心。移動中も仮眠を取れたので、元気に離島を巡ることができました。

昼食のシークワサー風ミミガーと紫芋の芋もちのようなウムクジ天ぷらが美味しくて印象的でした！5歳の子どもはツアー料金無料なので昼食は出ませんでしたが、1人分の量が多いので母の分を取り分けてあげて丁度良かったです。

竹富島の滞在時間が短く感じました。
島内の雰囲気や海の美しさが好きだなぁと思える離島でした。コバルトブルーのコンドイビーチや、星の砂が見つかるカイジ浜など、また次回ゆっくり訪れたいです。

自分の好きな離島が見つかるツアーだと思います！

It was my first visit to Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for a tour plan. The order of the islands may change depending on the tides of the day. I also had a change in plans, and Taketomi Island became the first stop. I was glad to go in the morning since there was cycling involved; if it had been in the afternoon, I might have been exhausted under the blazing sun. The round trip to Yubu Island, where I could ride a water buffalo, was soothing thanks to the host's sanshin performance.

初の石垣島訪問でしたので、周遊プランを申し込みました。
島の順番は、当日の潮の加減で前後することがあるみたいです。
私も、当初の予定から変更で竹富島が一番になりました。
サイクリングがあったので、午前中に行けて良かったです。昼からだと、炎天下でバテていたかもしれません、
水牛ちゃんに乗れる由布島往復は、主さんの三線に癒やされました。

I'm glad I chose to take a taxi since it would have been tough to visit the tourist spots on my own in the heat.

I appreciated the various explanations and was happy to see the beautiful ocean. Next time, I think I'll join a longer plan of about six hours. Thank you!

暑い中、自分で観光名所を回るのは大変なのでタクシーにしてよかったです。

いろいろ説明もしていただき、きれいな海も見れてよかったです。
次に参加する際は6時間くらいの長いプランで参加させていただこうと思います
ありがとうございました！

On the last day of my trip to Ishigaki Island, I had a whirlwind tour of three hours until my flight departure, and it was definitely the right choice! I was able to visit many sightseeing spots in a short time, and the guide sang folk songs, making it a very fulfilling three hours! When I come back to Ishigaki Island, I look forward to it again.

石垣島旅行最終日、飛行機が出発するまでの三時間という弾丸ツアーでしたが、お願いして正解でした！短時間で多くの観光スポットを回ることができ、ガイドの方が民謡を歌って下さり、とても充実した三時間となりました！また石垣島に来た時には、よろしくお願いします。

On Iriomote Island, we experienced one of the few days of high tide that occur about eight times a year, and the water level was so high that we couldn't see the roots of the mangroves during the mangrove tour. However, we were guided through a route that can only be accessed during high tide. On Yubu Island, we enjoyed a round trip on a water buffalo cart and a lunch while exploring the island. On Taketomi Island, there were cycling courses available, and I was glad to ride the water buffalo cart again as I learned a lot about the islands. Since it's a small island, this tour, which can be completed in a day, was very enjoyable.

西表島では一年に8回程しかない大潮の日に当たり、水位が高くマングローブ遊覧はマングローブの根元が全く見えませんでしが、大潮時にしか通れないルートを案内してもらえました。由布島では水牛車での往復とランチ島内散策、竹富島ではサイクリングのコースがありましたが、島についての説明がいろいろ聞けたのでまた水牛車に乗って良かったと思いました。小さい島なので1日で周れるこのツアーはとても良かったです。

I'm glad I got to hear a lot about Ishigaki Island. It was educational. The voice was bright, easy to understand, and pleasant. The lunch was very filling! It was delicious.

石垣島のお話を沢山聞けて良かったです。
勉強になりました。
明るく、聞き取り易く、いい声でした。
ランチはボリュームたっぷりですよ♬
美味しかったです。

I wanted my 3-year-old child to experience nature, so we participated in a tour that went late into the night. I was a bit anxious since I brought another child along, but all the staff were very attentive, and my child had a truly valuable experience.

We wanted to see coconut crabs and frogs, but it had been a few days with little rain, which lowered our chances of encountering them. However, the staff worked hard to find them, and we were able to see them safely.

We also saw several habu snakes and witnessed cicadas emerging, which made my child very excited. I truly felt that coming to Ishigaki Island was a wonderful experience. I would love to participate again when my child grows up.

3歳の子供に自然の体験をさせたいと思い夜遅くまでのツアーでしたが参加させて頂きました。
もう一人子供も連れてなので不安な面もありましたが、スタッフさん皆さんが気にかけてくださりとても貴重な体験を子どもが経験できました。
ヤシガニやカエルが見たかったのですが、ここ数日雨も少なく遭遇できる確率も低いとのことでしたがスタッフのみなさんが必死に探してくれて無事に見ることができました。
他にもハブも何匹か見たりセミの羽化が見れたりと子どもも大はしゃぎ。石垣島にきてほんとによかったと思える体験ができました。
子どもが成長したらまた参加したいです。

Since it was my first time in the Yaeyama Islands, I joined this tour that allows you to visit three islands in one day. It was packed with activities, and by the end, I had such a fulfilling day that I was completely exhausted.

It was a sunny day in July, so it was really hot, and staying hydrated and protecting against UV rays were essential. The UV levels are said to be seven times higher than in Tokyo. Since this is a daytime tour, I think it's especially important for those visiting in the summer to take precautions.

The guide's stories were all fascinating, and I got a glimpse into the history of the islands and the lives of the residents, which made me want to learn more about the Yaeyama Islands. It was a valuable experience. Thank you very much.

初めての八重山諸島だったので、１日で三島巡りができるこちらのツアーに参加しました。盛りだくさんな内容で、終わるとぐったりするほど充実した１日を過ごすことができました。

7月のよく晴れた日でしたので、とにかく暑く水分補給と紫外線対策が必須でした。紫外線量は東京の7倍だそうです。日中のツアーなので、夏に行かれる方は特に対策されるのがいいかと思います。

ガイドさんのお話はどれも興味深く、島の歴史や住民の方々の暮らしを垣間見ることができ、八重山諸島のことをもっと知りたくなりました。貴重な体験ができました。ありがとうございました。

I was more thrilled in the jungle than I had imagined, and I was able to encounter many creatures. The starry sky viewed from the beach was also enchanting and beautiful. The guide was friendly and approachable, with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I was able to hear many interesting stories. From start to finish, including the shuttle bus, it was a lot of fun. It was a valuable experience and became the best memory of Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

想像していたよりもジャングルでドキドキしましたが、たくさんのいきものたちに出会うことができました。ビーチで見る星空も幻想的で素敵でした。
ガイドさんは気さくで親しみやすく、豊富な知識と経験をお持ちで興味深いお話をたくさん聞かせてもらえました。送迎バスも含めて、最初から最後までずっと楽しかったです。貴重な体験ができ、石垣島の最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Thank you for kindly accommodating us despite the same-day reservation. We were able to see many creatures in the forest that we wouldn't have been able to enter on our own. Just beyond the forest, we discovered a quiet sandy beach with no footprints! It was pitch dark, but it felt special, and I'm glad I participated in this tour. We also had plenty of time to enjoy the starry sky, which left us very satisfied.

当日の予約にも関わらず、快く引き受けてくださりありがとうございました。
自分たちでは入っていけないような森の中でたくさんの生き物が見れました。
森を抜けたところに足跡のついていない静かな砂浜が現れ！
真っ暗でしたが特別感がありこのツアーに参加してよかったです。
星空もゆっくり見る時間をとってくださり、大満足でした。

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! They provided transportation from any location and the guidance to the destination was smooth! Along the way, they shared a lot about the island's history, recommended spots, and delicious restaurants, and I was very satisfied with both the tour content and the service! They also shared the charm of the island, making me want to move here in the future (laughs). I would love to use their services again when I travel back! I also want to recommend it to my friends (＾_＾).

今回はハネムーンでこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！どんな場所でも送迎してくれて現地までの案内もスムーズ！道中は島の歴史やおすすめスポット、美味しいご飯屋さんをたくさん教えてくださり、ツアー内容ともに接客も大満足です！！島の魅力も共有してくれて老後は移住したくなりました(笑)また旅行にきた際には利用させていただきたいです！友達にもおすすめしたいと思います（＾_＾）

Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I enjoyed sightseeing on the "Ishigaki Island Round Tour Bus." I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the sea and the rich nature of Ishigaki Island, and the lunch was delicious as well. Although it was an additional fee, I was satisfied with the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, where I could see sea turtles and beautiful fish. I recommend participating at least once!

初めての石垣島だったため、「石垣島一周定期観光バス」で石垣島観光を楽しみました。
石垣島の海の綺麗さや豊かな自然を満喫でき、昼食も美味しくいただけました。また、別料金でしたが、川平湾のグラスボートでは、ウミガメや綺麗な魚を見ることができ満足でした。一度は、参加されたらいかがでしょうか？

The round-trip bus transfer to the hotel was very smooth, allowing the tour to proceed seamlessly! Even though it was a tour, there was plenty of free time for exploration, which was great. We set sail on a boat and immediately headed to the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island... The explanations were very easy to understand, and I was satisfied! After that, we moved by bus and rode water buffalo to Yufu! While enjoying the scenery from the water buffalo, we explored the botanical garden in Yufu and had delicious food! Afterward, we returned by bus and took a boat to Taketomi Island... The bus tour included a stroll on the star sand and sightseeing in Taketomi by water buffalo... everything was fantastic‼︎ On the way back, we adjusted the bus transfer schedule and explored the bustling streets of Ishigaki, where I was able to buy souvenirs! If I had to mention one thing, it would be that the remote islands don't have trash cans, so it's better to bring a bag for your trash. Thank you very much! (^^)

宿泊ホテルまでバスで往復送迎していただき、とってもスムーズにツアーを進めてくださいました！ツアーなのに、自由散策も多く、いい所取りでした。船で出航し、すぐに西表島のマングローブクルーズへ…説明もとっても分かりやすく、満足です！その後バスで移動し、水牛に乗って由布へ！ドラマの中に入り込んだような水牛からの景色を見ながら、由布では植物園散策に美味しいご飯！その後バスで戻り船で竹富島へ…バス観光で星砂散策し、水牛で竹富観光…どれをとっても最高でした‼︎帰りは一本バス送迎をずらし、石垣の繁華街を散策し、お土産も買って帰れました！一つあげるなら、離島はゴミ箱がなく、ゴミを持つための袋を持参した方がいいかなと思いました。ありがとうございました(^^)

The driver kindly introduced us to many attractive spots. I was very happy that they not only drove but also took the initiative to take photos for us. Additionally, they shared old stories and even gave us crafts they made as a hobby, making it a memorable day.

運転手さんが丁寧にたくさんの魅力的なスポットを紹介してくださりました。運転だけでなく、率先して写真撮影までしてくれたりととても嬉しかったです。
また、昔話をしてくれたり、趣味で作った工作品までいただいたりと思い出に残る1日になりました。

I couldn't see the coconut crab, but I had a great time seeing many other creatures. The nature was rich, and I felt that everyone was doing their best. The guide was also interesting, and the quiz was fun. I want to go again!

ヤシガニは、見れなかったけど、沢山生き物がみれたので楽しかったです。自然が豊かで、みんな頑張っていると思いました。ガイドさんも、面白かったです。クイズも楽しかったです。また行きたいです！

After arriving at Ishigaki Airport, I was picked up and taken to visit the Shisa Farm, Kabira Bay, Cape Ongasaki, Yaima Village, and the Ishigaki Island Limestone Cave, before being dropped off at my hotel. The sightseeing at each location was a lot of fun, and the driver was kind, making our conversations enjoyable during the ride. I specified a few places I wanted to visit, and the driver efficiently took me to recommended spots based on the local situation. Since I'm not good at driving and wanted to avoid renting a car, and considering that bus services are limited, I truly appreciated being able to use this tour.

石垣空港に到着後迎えに来て頂き、そこからシーサー農場・川平湾・御神崎灯台・やいま村・石垣島鍾乳洞を回って頂き、最後はホテルへ送って頂きました。各地での観光も大変楽しかったですし、運転手さんも親切で移動中いろんなお話ができて楽しかったです。行きたい場所を何箇所か指定させていただき、後は現地の状況に合わせてオススメのスポットを効率よく回って頂けました。車の運転は苦手なのでレンタカーは避けたいし、バスの本数も限られているのでバスでの観光は難しいと思っていたので、こちらのツアーを利用させて頂けて本当に助かりました。

The guidance was very thorough, making it enjoyable even for beginners! I was also really helped by the recommendations for shops in Ishigaki Island. They took over 100 wonderful photos, and the guide's stories were incredibly interesting, making for a very fulfilling time! ^_^

丁寧に教えていただけたので、初心者でも楽しめました！石垣島のオススメのお店についても教えてくださり、凄く助かりました！素敵な写真も100枚以上撮ってくださり、ガイドさんのお話も凄く面白くて、とても充実した時間になりました^_^

As someone who can't drive, I was really happy to have this kind of bus tour available. The driver and the guide were both very pleasant. Listening to the guide's island songs and sanshin made me feel more connected to Ishigaki Island, and I had a great time.

車の運転が出来ない私にとってはこういうバスツアーがあるのは助かり嬉しいです。
運転さん、ガイドさんもとても感じが良かったです。
ガイドさんの島唄や三線を聞き、より石垣島を感じる事ができ大変楽しめました。

It was my first time island hopping, and I was able to fully enjoy each island, which made me very satisfied! If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely like to participate again!

初めての離島巡りでしたが、どの島も満喫でき、とても満足できました！次回くることがあればまたぜひ参加したいです！
