All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was surprised by the clarity beyond my imagination! The blue glow I saw underwater was truly beautiful. The guide said, "It's shining the most beautifully right now!" and I was able to take pictures at the best timing!

想像以上の透明度でびっくり！　水中で見る青の輝きが本当に美しかった。ガイドさんが「今が一番きれいに光ってます！」って声をかけてくれて、ベストタイミングで撮影できた！

Since we were traveling with members who couldn't drive, it was very helpful to have someone take us around the main spots in Ishigaki Island (Mikazuki Lighthouse, limestone caves, and Kabira Bay) in just three hours. The driver was also very kind, and we got to hear interesting stories about Ishigaki Island, including one about coconut crabs. I didn't have high expectations for Mikazuki Lighthouse, but I really enjoyed the mini-hike there, and personally, it was the most fun part of the trip.

車を運転できないメンバーでの旅行だったので、石垣島の主要スポット(御神崎灯台、鍾乳洞、川平湾)を3時間でまわってもらえて、とても助かりました。
運転手さんも大変優しい方で、ヤシガニのお話など、興味深い石垣島のお話が聞けました。
御神崎灯台はさほど期待していなかったのですが、ミニハイキングが楽しめて、個人的には1番楽しかったです。

It was raining heavily, but that added to the charm, and it was great. You can rent bicycles if you pay, and they sell rain gear too, so there were no problems at all!

大雨だったけど、それもまた味が出ていて、良かった、自転車もお金払えば借りれるし、雨具も売ってるし、何も問題ナッシんギュー！

It wasn't a perfect starry sky, but the stars we saw for a moment were amazing. Woody also worked hard to find coconut crabs and various other creatures. It was a great experience.

満点の星空とはいかなかったけど、一瞬見えた星空は最高でした。
またウッディーも一生懸命ヤシガニや色々な生物を探してくれました。
いい体験が出来ました。

Thank you, guide Sugi-chan and Hina-chan. It was a very satisfying tour.

It was my first time canoeing, but you taught us carefully, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. Additionally, I enjoyed the time spent learning about corals and mangroves.

During snorkeling, I was able to see clownfish and touch sea cucumbers, allowing me to connect with the natural beauty of Ishigaki. I felt tired and anxious in the second half, but you checked on me multiple times, which helped me swim confidently until the end.

The weather forecast was bad, and I received a call the day before to change the time, but thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy both activities.

ガイドのすぎちゃん、ひなちゃんありがとう。大満足のツアーになりました。
初めてのカヌーでしたが、丁寧に教えていただいたので、安心して参加することができました。また、サンゴやマングローブに関する話をしていただいて、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
シュノーケリングでは、カクレクマノミを見れたり、ナマコを触ったり、石垣の自然にたくさん触れることができました。後半疲れて不安でしたが、何度も声をかけてくれて、安心して泳ぎきることができました。

予報が悪く、前日に電話をいただき、時間変更をしての参加でしたが、おかげさまで両方のアクティビティを満喫することができました。

The bus guide's stories, the sound of the sanshin, the songs, and the kamishibai made the bus ride enjoyable. I also learned some hand dances. Just meeting the bus guide was enough to make me very satisfied.
The limestone cave was humid. I was moved to see it up close. It was a mystical space.

バスガイドさんの話や三線の音色、歌に紙芝居とバスの中は楽しかったです。手踊りも教えて頂きました。バスガイドさんに会えただけで十分満足できました。
鍾乳洞は蒸し暑かったです。間近に見ることが出来て感動しました。神秘的な空間でした。

I participated in an island-hopping tour from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island.

On Iriomote Island, the bus ride was enjoyable thanks to the fun island guide provided by the bus driver. We took a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, where I strolled around and felt my heart healed by the relaxing nature.

During the mangrove cruise, we happened to catch the beginning of low tide, allowing us to see the mangroves in their natural state, which was very nice. On Taketomi Island, I explored the village and was moved by the feeling of Okinawa.

石垣島から西表島、由布島、竹富島への離島巡りに参加しました
西表島でのバス移動は、ばすのドライバーの楽しい島の案内、水牛車に乗って由布島へ、由布島での散策は、のんびり自然とに触れて心が癒されました。
マングローブ遊覧では、丁度干潮が始まり、マングローブの本来の姿を観ることができ、とても良かったです。竹富島では、集落をみて、沖縄を感じ感動したした。

It was an efficiently packed tour for the whole day. The photo is a commemorative shot with a water buffalo on Taketomi Island. It became a wonderful memory.

1日盛りだくさんのツアーで効率的に回れました。写真は竹富島での水牛さんとの記念撮影。良い思い出となりました。

I participated in a snorkeling tour! Due to the weather, I received a call the day before informing me that the tour would be held at a different location instead of the Blue Cave. I felt that the explanation was thorough and I was able to participate with understanding, which showed a very polite and sincere response.

On the day of the tour, there were two staff members for six participants, and since we wore life jackets, I felt safe and was able to enjoy myself. During snorkeling, I appreciated the staff's careful attention as they watched over the entire group and checked in with each individual. They provided a lot of support, like letting us pick up shells and taking pictures of us!

In the sea, I was able to see fish and coral, which I think was a rare experience that I wouldn't normally have. Although it was a bit disappointing not to go to the Blue Cave, I had such a fun and fulfilling time that I forgot all about it.

シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました！
天候の影響で前日に青の洞窟ではなく別の場所での開催になるとお電話をいただきました。事前にきちんと説明があり、納得したうえで参加できたので、とても丁寧で誠実な対応だと感じました。

当日は6人の参加者に対してスタッフの方が2名ついてくださり、ライフジャケットも着用だったので安心して楽しめました。シュノーケリング中もグループ全体を見守りながら、一人ひとりに声をかけてくださる細やかな気配りが嬉しかったです。貝を拾って持たせてくれたり、その写真を撮ってくれたりと、たくさんサポートしてくれました！

海の中では魚や珊瑚を見ることができ、普段なかなかできない貴重な体験ができたと思います。
青の洞窟に行けなかったのは少し残念でしたが、それを忘れてしまうほど楽しく充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated with my grandparents in their 60s and my 4-year-old son. Woody, our guide, took more time than other teams for both the creature search and the starry sky photography. When we finally found a coconut crab, everyone applauded! My 4-year-old son seemed to really enjoy this tour and was the first to share his memories with his preschool teacher. Thank you very much!

60代のじいじとばあば、4歳の息子と参加しました。
生き物探しも星空撮影もガイドのウッディさんが他チームより時間をかけてくださり、ようやくヤシガニを見つけた時には皆で拍手喝采でした！
4歳の息子もこのツアーが気に入ったようで保育園の先生に真っ先に思い出話していました。笑
ありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and I had a very enjoyable time. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting. The glass-bottom boat allowed us to see calm seas and crystal-clear water, where we encountered many fish. I won't forget the color of the ocean. It was a wonderful experience.

お天気にも恵まれ、とても楽しい時間でした。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、面白かったです。グラスボートは海も穏やかで水も透き通っていてたくさんの魚たちに出会えました。海の色は忘れられません。とても素敵な体験でした。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. The islands had their own unique characteristics, and the rural feel was also very appealing.

It would be amazing to see the Iriomote cat.

天気に恵まれてとても楽しかったです
その島々の特徴があり田舎感がまた魅力がありました


イリオモテヤマネコが見れたら最高です

The beaches of Taketomi Island are so beautiful that they seem unreal. The bus guide on Iriomote Island was interesting and great!

竹富島のビーチがこの世のものとは思えないほどキレイ。西表島のバスガイドさん、話が面白く良かったです！

It was very nice to cross to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart. The water buffalo were cute, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was a bit disappointing that there were few flowers since it wasn't the season for them, but I was able to take my time exploring places like the butterfly house. I think it would have been even better if I could have done some sightseeing on Iriomote Island as well.

水牛車で由布島へ渡るのがとても良かったです。
水牛も可愛いし、説明も分かりやすかったです。
由布島も季節ではなかったので花が少なかったのは残念でしたが、蝶々のハウスなどゆっくり見学する事が出来ました。
西表島の観光もできればもっとよかったと思いました。

I participated because my 6-year-old son loves insects and creatures. He was super excited even before the night exploration began. We were lucky with the weather and got to see coconut crabs and natural owls. The starry sky was beyond our imagination, and it seems my son's interest in stars and space has broadened as well. Thank you for the easy-to-understand explanations and guidance.

6歳の息子が昆虫や生き物が大好きなので参加しました。夜の探検に始まる前から大興奮。天候にも恵まれ、ヤシガニや天然のフクロウも見ることができました。星空も想像以上で、息子も星や宇宙にも興味の幅が広がったようです。わかりやすい解説とガイドをありがとうございました。

The weather on the day was perfect, and the blue cave looked absolutely beautiful, which was truly moving. I was able to feel the mysteries of nature up close, making it a very special experience.

Our guide, Mako, was very cheerful and approachable, and the conversations were enjoyable, creating a fun atmosphere throughout the tour. The explanations were clear, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. She also paid careful attention to the children, which was really helpful.

During snorkeling, we saw a lot of fish, and it was so exciting! The underwater world was even more beautiful than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied.

After that, I participated in a mangrove canoe tour. Our guide, Sugi, explained the ecology and characteristics of the mangroves in a very understandable way, which was very educational. Spending time in nature was truly refreshing and rejuvenating for my mind.

The guides were very kind and cheerful, maintaining a fun atmosphere throughout. The children got to ride on the SUP, which was thrilling! It was a rare experience that we don't often get to have, and I was very satisfied.

Both tours were truly wonderful and became the best memories of my time in Ishigaki Island. I would love to participate again!

当日はお天気も最高で、青い洞窟が本当に綺麗に見えて感動しました。自然の神秘を間近で感じることができ、とても特別な体験でした。

ガイドのmakoちゃんはとても明るくて親しみやすく、お話も楽しく、ツアー中ずっと楽しい雰囲気でした。説明もわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。子供にも丁寧に気を配っていただき、本当に助かりました。

シュノーケリングでは魚がたくさん見られて大興奮！海の中の世界は想像以上に綺麗で、大満足でした。

その後、マングローブのカヌーツアーにも参加しました。
ガイドのすぎちゃんは、マングローブの生態や特徴についてとてもわかりやすく説明してくださり、大変勉強になりました。自然の中でゆったりと過ごす時間は本当に気持ちよく、心までリフレッシュできました。

ガイドさんはとても親切で明るく、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。子供たちをSUPに乗せていただき、大興奮！普段なかなかできない貴重な体験ができて、大満足です。

どちらのツアーも本当に素晴らしく、石垣島での最高の思い出になりました。またぜひ参加したいです。

We were able to efficiently visit three islands, and the explanations made it a fulfilling day. The water buffalo was also working hard, and I felt like cheering for it. Keep it up!

手際よく3島巡れて説明もしてくれて充実した一日でした
水牛も頑張ってて応援したくなります
がんばってー

I was glad I could visit the main attractions without having to drive or research where to go, thanks to this tour! The guide shared a lot of information about Ishigaki Island, which was also really great.

運転したりどこ行くか調べなくても、このツアーのおかげでメインどころ行けて良かった！
ガイドさんが石垣島のこと沢山お話ししてくれて、それもすごく良かったです。

Thank you for sharing various stories; it was interesting. Whether or not I had a bad experience probably depends on the members I was with (laughs).
(There was one person who was a bit too strong-willed, and that was the only disappointment.)
The starry sky was beautiful. Thank you for teaching me about the different plants, the topography of Ishigaki Island, and the insects.

色んなお話ししてくれて、面白かったです。嫌な思いするかどうかは一緒になったメンバーによるかな（笑）
（ひとりあくの強い人いてそれだけが残念でした）
星空まで綺麗でした。色んな植物や石垣島の形態、虫のこと教えてくれてありがとうございました。

The mangroves of Iriomote Island and the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island were amazing. The water buffalo cart ride, in particular, was a wonderful experience. The bus driver's stories while we traveled from place to place were also enjoyable.

On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle for free and explored the area. While it's possible to walk around, I recommend biking since time is limited in the afternoon. This tour, which doesn't waste any time, comes highly recommended.

西表島のマングローブ、由布島への水牛車、最高でした。
特に水牛車は素敵な時間でした。
場所場所を回るバスの運転手さんのお話も楽しかったです。
竹富島では、フリーで自転車を借りて回りました。徒歩でも回れますが午後からの限られた時間ですので自転車がおすすめです。
無駄な時間を取られることないこのツアーはおすすめです。

I leisurely rode a water buffalo along the peaceful row of houses while listening to island songs, and it brought me to tears. It was a 30-minute stroll, but I wanted to ride more. The stories from the lady were enjoyable, and the shamisen songs were wonderful. I definitely want to go again!

のどかな家並みをのんびり
水牛さんに乗り　島唄を聞きながら
涙出ました
30分の散策でしたが
もっと乗りたいと思いました
お姉さんのお話も楽しくて
三味線の歌も素敵で
絶対また行きたいです

I booked a day tour that included a SUP tour in the mangroves and snorkeling in the Blue Cave. The guide was very knowledgeable about Ishigaki Island and the mangroves, and I learned a lot, which was enjoyable. The day before, I received a phone call explaining the details of the tour. I thought I understood the overview of the tour, but I had some misunderstandings, so it was good to confirm everything. Unfortunately, the snorkeling in the Blue Cave in the afternoon was canceled due to bad conditions, which was disappointing, but the mangrove tour in the morning was fulfilling enough to leave me very satisfied. Thank you!

マングローブでのSUPツアーと青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングがセットになった一日ツアーを申し込みました。
ガイドさんは石垣島やマングローブの知識が豊富でいろいろと教えて頂き楽しかったです。
前日にお電話でツアーに関する詳細の説明がありました。ツアーの概要は理解しているつもりでしたが、勘違いもあり確認いただいて良かったです。
午後からの青の洞窟はコンディションが悪いと言うことでキャンセルとなり残念でしたが、午前中のマングローブツアーだけでも十分満足出来るほど充実したツアーでした。
ありがとうございます。

On the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, you can fully immerse yourself in untouched nature. After being pulled by a water buffalo to Yubu Island, you can enjoy lunch, as well as mini hiking and shopping. On Taketomi Island, you can search for star sand and explore traditional villages. I believe that experiencing all of this in about eight hours is something special to the tour. Additionally, on Taketomi Island, you can choose your preferred way of sightseeing.

西表島のマングローブクルーズでは手つかずの自然を全身に浴びることができます。水牛に引かれて由布島へ移動したら、昼食をいただき、ミニハイキングやショッピングも楽しめます。竹富島では星の砂を探したり昔ながらの集落を見て回ることができます。これだけの内容を約８時間で堪能できるのはツアーならではだと思います。また、竹富島ではご自身の好きな観光方法を選択できます。

I was interested in visiting the remote islands, but since I didn't have time to research or plan, I chose this one-day trip to the three islands.

Lunch: It was delicious. I liked that it was a buffet style.
Transportation: It was great that everything was taken care of. I think the safety is sufficient for an average adult.
Staff Response: Everyone involved was cheerful and friendly, leaving a good impression.
Tour Content: Everything was great. Since we could visit and experience famous spots, it helped me decide what I want to spend more time on next.
Price: I’m not sure about the market rate, but personally, I feel it was reasonable. It might even be a good deal.
Other: I was lucky that the weather was nice.

離島には興味がありましたがアクセスを調べたり計画する時間がなかったことから一日で三島行けるこちらのプランを選択しました。

ランチ:おいしかった。バイキング形式なのがよかった
交通手段:全てお任せできたのがよかった。一般的な大人なら安全性も十分だと思う
スタッフ対応:関係者のみなさんは全員明るくて人当たりもよく好印象
ツアー内容:全てよかった。有名どころを観光・体験できるため、自分が次に何に時間をかけたいかの判断材料にできる
価格:相場はわかりませんが個人的な感覚ででは適正。むしろお得かも
その他:天気がよかったのがラッキーでした

Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the weather, but the snorkeling at the "Phantom Island" we were taken to instead was amazing! I received a thoughtful confirmation call the day before, which allowed me to look forward to the day with excitement.

The boat rocked a bit and made me feel a little seasick, but the underwater scenery was filled with the beautiful blue fish and coral unique to Okinawa, which quickly made me forget my discomfort. I was worried about the cold winter sea water, but thanks to the kind support from our guide, I was able to enjoy the experience throughout.

I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to see a sea turtle, but the burger place and the yakiniku restaurant I was told about during the return ride were exceptional. I definitely want to go see sea turtles next time.

Thank you for a wonderful day!

あいにくの天候で青の洞窟へは行けませんでしたが、代わりに案内された「幻の島」でのシュノーケルが最高でした！
前日に丁寧な確認連絡をいただけたので、期待を胸に当日を迎えられました。

少し船が揺れて酔ってしまいましたが、海の中には沖縄ならではの青い魚とサンゴが広がっていて、その美しさに酔いも一瞬で吹き飛びました。
冬の冷たい海水が心配でしたが、ガイドさんが優しくサポートしてくれたおかげで、終始楽しく体験できて良かったです。

ウミガメに会えなかったのは心残りですが、帰りの送迎で教えてもらったハンバーガー屋さんと焼肉屋さんが絶品でした。
次はぜひウミガメを見に行きたいです。

素敵な一日をありがとうございました！

There are various plans available, and you can choose the one that suits you. The driver seemed to have a tough time juggling the guiding duties, but he was wonderful. Being able to choose the return time is also great! 👍️

色々なプランがあって、自分に会うプランを選べます。
運転手さんがガイド掛け持ちで大変そうでしたが、素晴らしかったです。
帰りの時間を選べるのもグッド👍️

While I was waiting in the airport arrival lobby, imagining an elderly man, a female driver came to pick me up!

Shortly after departing, she suddenly slammed on the brakes and exclaimed, "Wow! No way!" A pair of wild peacocks greeted us, and one of them was a white peacock! Thanks to her constant attention to the surroundings while driving, we also encountered a hawk and a wild boar (with detailed explanations about their ecology!).

Since I had consulted with the tour company in advance about whether it was feasible to visit my desired spots, the driver had already arranged an efficient order for the itinerary. Additionally, from the conversations during the course, she spontaneously incorporated hidden gems that we would likely enjoy, and each one was fantastic.

Moreover, she said, "Don't worry about the time; feel free to take your time and enjoy," which allowed us to savor each destination without rushing, which was very nice.

Overall, the driver was filled with love for Ishigaki Island and a desire to convey the island's charm to us within the limited time we had. It wasn't just about efficiency or convenience; the experiences and information we gained were incredible.

I am truly grateful to have had this driver, and I feel full of appreciation.

I would definitely love to ride with her again!

空港の到着ロビーで年配のおじさんを想像して待っていたら女性ドライバーさんが迎えに来てくれました！

出発して間もなく「わっ！うそっ！」と急停車！野生の孔雀のつがい、しかも一羽はなんと白孔雀！！が出迎えてくれました。常に周りに注意をはらって運転してくださるおかげで、サシバー（猛禽類）やウリ坊にも会えました。
（生態などのすごく詳しい解説つき！）

事前に希望スポットを周るのに無理がないかツアー会社に相談していたため、ドライバーさんが予め効率の良い順序を組んでおいてくださったうえ、そのコースや道中の会話から我々が好きそうな穴場スポットを即興で組み込んでくださり、そのどれもが素晴らしかったです。

また「時間は適当に調整しますから気にしないで見てきていいですよー」と言ってくださり、行く先々をゆったり慌てずに味わうことができたのもとても良かったです。

とにかくドライバーさんが、石垣島愛と、限りある時間で島の魅力を最大限伝えようとしてくださる気持ちに溢れていて、単なる効率や利便性だけでなく、得られる経験と情報量がすごい。

このドライバーさんで本当に良かったですし、感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

きっとまた乗せていただきたいです！

I participated on New Year's Day this year. Although the strong north wind made for unfortunate weather, I was able to visit all the places I wanted in just one day. I really enjoyed the mangroves of Iriomote Island, riding the water buffalo cart to and from Yubu Island, and searching for star sand on the streets and beaches of Taketomi Island. I think it would be quite difficult to visit all these places individually due to transportation issues in each area. It was also nice that lunch was included, making the trip much easier.

26年元日に参加しました。北風強く生憎のお天気でしたが、行きたかった場所に1日で回れました。西表島のマングローブ、由布島への行き帰りに乗る水牛車、竹富島の街並みや浜辺で星砂探しとても楽しかったです。個人で全て回るのは各地での交通などの問題もあり大変だと思います。お昼も付いていて楽に旅が出来ました。

We participated in our first family trip with our 2-year-old daughter! Despite the mishap of forgetting the reservation holder's iPhone at home, we were able to adapt and enjoy ourselves without any issues! The captain of the mangrove tour, along with the water buffalo Mirai-kun (who was with us both going and returning, haha), was very kind to our daughter, creating the best memories! I hope to revisit as a family in 5 or 10 years when our daughter is old enough to remember the experience!

2歳の娘と初めての家族旅行で参加しました！
予約した本人のiPhoneを自宅に忘れるハプニングもありながら、臨機応変に対応していただき無事に楽しむことができました！
マングローブの船長さんも、水牛のみらいくん(行きも帰りもみらいくんでした笑)とおじさんも、娘にとても親切にしてくださり最高の思い出になりました！
また5年後10年後、娘が記憶に残る年齢になった頃に家族で再訪したいなと思います！

It was a cloudy day with strong winds, which made it unsuitable for the glass-bottom boat, but the underwater environment was calm and filled with colorful fish. Especially, the captain found a turtle, and I was moved because it was my first time seeing a baby turtle. Thank you!

曇天で風が強く、グラスボートには向かない環境でしたが海中は穏やかで色鮮やかな魚がいました
特に船長さんが亀を見つけてくれ、子亀できしが初めて見たので感動しました
ありがとう
