All Reviews for Bus Tours

The lunch bento was not delicious, which lowered the overall quality of the tour. I felt that there was nothing that exceeded my expectations. It was a tour that needed something more.

お昼のお弁当が美味しくなかったのがツアー全体の質を下げています。
あとはこんな感じかなと予想を上回る物はなかった様に感じます。　
もう一つ何かが欲しいツアーでした。

I was able to learn about Ishigaki Island. The guide's stories were interesting and enjoyable. The glass-bottom boat was a reasonable 1,000 yen, which was great. On the way back, I was dropped off at Ishigaki Airport, allowing me to make good use of my time.

石垣島の概要を知ることができました。ガイドさんの話も面白くて楽しかったです
グラスボートが1000円で楽しめて、良心的でした。
帰りは石垣空港で降ろしてもらえて、時間を有効に使えました

Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I decided to join. It drizzled a bit at times, but it didn't interfere with the glass-bottom boat experience! The lunch was delicious, and the guide even sang for us, making it a full and enjoyable day. It's also great that they stop by the airport on the way back, making it convenient to join on the last day. There were participants from the cruise ship as well. It seems there were also users from the remote island terminal. It's reassuring that they check the schedules and make adjustments!

初の石垣島だったので参加しました。時々雨がぱらつきましたが、グラスボートには支障なく参加しました！
ランチも美味しかったし、ガイドさんは歌を歌ってくれましたし盛り沢山でした。帰りに空港に寄るので最終日に参加するにもいいです。クルーズ船からの参加者もいました。離島ターミナル利用者もいたみたいです。便を確認して調整してくれるのは安心ですね！

My first time in Ishigaki Island.
It was a solo trip, and it's a shame the weather was bad.
But it became a good memory. I want to come again.

初めての石垣島
しかもひとり旅　お天気が悪かったのは残念
でもいい思い出になりました。また来たいです。

Although it was unfortunately rainy, I was able to enjoy sightseeing slowly while swaying in the water buffalo cart. I was moved by the guide's narration and songs, making it a valuable experience. I would like to experience it again on a sunny day next time.

生憎の雨でしたが、水牛車にゆられ、ゆっくり観光を楽しむことができました。船頭さんのガイドと歌に心打たれ、貴重な体験が出来ました。
次は晴れの日に再度体験したいです。

We were able to hear explanations about the houses and plants while riding a water buffalo around half of the island, along with the tour guide's island songs. After that, we had free time to explore the island. I wish we had a bit more free time to relax.

水牛で島半分位を回りながら家屋や植物の説明など、添乗員の島唄も聞けました。そのあとは自由時間で島の観光ができました。もう少し自由時間があるとゆったりできたかな

Taketomi Island was amazing. I couldn't book the plan with a rental bicycle included because it was fully booked, but I was able to get one on-site, so I had a great time. It might be a good idea to increase the number of rental bicycle reservations available.

竹富島最高でした
レンタル自転車付きプランが満で予約出来なかったけど現地で調達出来たので楽しめました。
レンタル自転車の予約枠は増やした方がいいかも？

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island had a surface as clear as a mirror, reflecting the mangrove forest, and the tranquility was wonderful. From Iriomote, we leisurely traveled to Yubu Island on a water buffalo cart while listening to shamisen performances. The botanical garden was filled with large plants I had never seen before. Strolling through the unique village of Taketomi Island, I was moved by the sounds of the sanshin and Okinawan folk songs I heard on the water buffalo cart, creating an extraordinary experience. For lunch, everything was very delicious. The glass-bottom boat was a bit disappointing, but overall, I highly recommend it!

西表島のマングローブクルーズは水面が鏡のように澄んでいてマングローブ林が映り込み静寂とても良かった、西表から由布島のんびりと水牛車で三味線演奏聞きながら移動、見た事のない大きな植物が生い茂る植物園。竹富島の独特な集落散策など、水牛車で聴いた三線の音色と沖縄民謡に感動し非日常な体験しました。お昼ご飯は、どれもとても美味しくいただきました。グラスボートはイマイチでしたが、全体的にはお勧めです！！

I felt a relaxed sense of time, and it was truly a healing moment. The beauty of nature, along with the stories from the water buffalo and the gentleman guiding us, as well as the sanshin and songs, made me forget the busy everyday life.

ゆったりとした時間を感じ、本当に癒されるひとときでした。自然の美しさ、案内してくれる水牛とお兄さんのお話も三線と歌も忙しい日常を忘れさせてくれるものでした。、

I wanted to use this service when I first visited Ishigaki Island in June last year, but it was suspended, possibly due to COVID-19, so I used it this time in February. I'm not confident in driving, and the local buses have limited schedules, so it was great to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island.

The impression can change with the weather, but if the weather is nice, it's a five-star course! The cost performance is also good, with lunch included for under 5,000 yen for half a day.

Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but the blue of Kabira Bay was still beautiful. Thanks to the guide, I was able to learn about the origins of the Tomb of the Chinese and Tōrin-ji Temple. The explanations about Ishigaki Island's culture and tropical flowers were diverse, and I had a lot of fun learning.

There were many solo participants, so it was enjoyable to exchange information during lunch. The option to choose to board a glass-bottom boat on-site (I rode one in June, and this time, since it was cloudy, I opted for local sightseeing) and the flexibility to get off at Ishigaki Airport were also nice.

Next, I would like to visit Hirakubo Cape Lighthouse, so I would be happy if there were other bus tours that I could easily join, like this one.

　昨年６月に初めて石垣島へ行った時に利用したかったのですが、コロナの影響か運休中で、今回２月に利用しました。
　車の運転に自信がないですし、路線バスも本数が限られているので、効率よく石垣島の見どころを回れるのは良かったです。
　天候で印象が変わりますが、お天気が良かったら☆５つのコースです！半日でランチが付いて5,000円以下とコストパフォーマンスも良いです。

　生憎の曇天でしたが、それでも川平湾のブルーは綺麗でした。
　また、ガイドさんのおかげで、唐人墓や桃林寺の由来を知ることが出来て良かったです。石垣島の文化や南国のお花の説明など、多岐に渡って説明していただき、とっても楽しく学ぶことが出来ました。
　一人参加の方も多かったので、ランチ時には情報交換などできて楽しかったです。
　グラスボートの乗船も現地で選択可（→６月の時にグラスボートに乗ったし、今回は曇天だったので周辺観光にしました。）だったり、石垣島空港で下車も可能で、融通が利くのも良いですね。
　次は平久保埼灯台とかも行ってみたいので、今回のように手軽に参加できる違うコースのバスツアーがあると嬉しいですね。

The only disappointment was the bad weather, but I had a very satisfying time no matter where I went or which guide I had. The bus driver's stories were very interesting.

The water buffalo was very cute.

I had booked a glass-bottom boat, but it was canceled before departure due to high waves, and that was the only regret.

天気が悪いということだけが残念でしたが、どの場所に行っても、どのガイドさんでも大変満足した時間を過ごすことができました。
バスの運転手さんのお話がとても面白い。

水牛さんがとても可愛かったです。

グラスボートを申し込んでいましたが、波が高いということで出発前にキャンセルになり、それだけが残念でした。

I was looking forward to this tour, staying at a hotel right by the port, and it exceeded my expectations. The initial mangrove cruise was fantastic! The next experience with the water buffalo cart was exotic, but I couldn't fully enjoy it because I felt sorry for the buffalo.

Taketomi Island had a charm that made me wonder if Okinawa's main island used to look like this. However, on the way back to the port, I got lost and it was quite nerve-wracking. It was frustrating that the place names on the signposts at the fork in the road were not on the map provided. Fortunately, I was able to navigate using my smartphone's location, but I hope for improvements to the map.

このツアーに参加するためホテルも港横にして楽しみにしていたが、期待以上だった。最初のマングローブクルーズは最高！　次の水牛車もエキゾチックな体験でしたが、水牛さんがかわいそうで心からは楽しめませんでした。
竹富島は昔は沖縄本島もこんな感じだったのかなという風情がありよかったのですが、帰りに港に向かう道で迷ってハラハラしました。分かれ道の案内標識に出てる地名が渡されていたマップになかったのは困りました。幸いスマホの位置情報で事なきをえましたが、マップの改善を望みます。

The day before, I participated in a three-island tour, and on this day, I initially thought about taking a route bus to the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. However, that would only leave me time for lunch and then heading to the airport, so I didn't have high expectations and decided to sign up for an island tour that would drop me off at the airport. The humor of the only male guide was fantastic.

前日に3島めぐりツアー参加でこの日は当初自分で路線バスで川平湾グラスボートでも行こうかと考えていたが、それだと昼食とそれだけで空港に向かうくらいしかできないので、あまり期待せず空港で降りれるので島内ツアー申込した。唯一の男性ガイドさんのユーモアが最高でした。

During the boat and bus rides, as well as in the water buffalo cart crossing to Yufushima, I enjoyed the staff's flexible explanations without getting bored. The amazing scenery that you can't see on the mainland was the best. Even though I was traveling alone, I had a great time without feeling bored at all.

移動中のボートやバスの中、由布島に渡る水牛車の中と退屈する事なくスタッフの臨機応変な説明が良く楽しめました。本土では見ることのない素晴らしい景色が見れて最高でした。一人旅でしたが全然退屈する事なく楽しかったです。

This was my first time participating. It started with the polite service from Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism, and after arriving at Iriomote Island, we smoothly enjoyed a mangrove cruise with breathtaking scenery that was truly moving. The person explaining things on the boat was also fun and enjoyable. Next, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and the stories from the water buffalo cart driver, along with the shamisen and songs, were all fantastic! I was amazed at how smart and cute the water buffalo were! On Yubu Island, there were water buffalo that you could touch, and I was allowed to pet their horns and bodies. The weather was great, so the scenery was wonderful, and I was healed by the plants and butterflies, allowing me to spend a lovely time. I wish I had a bit more time on Yubu Island. The entire tour was really enjoyable, and the conversations were fun and friendly. I'm so glad I participated in this tour! I made great memories! If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to use this service.

初めて参加させて頂きました。まずは石垣島ドリーム観光の方の丁寧な接客からはじまり西表島に到着後もスムーズにマングローブ遊覧、素晴らしい景色が広がり感動。遊覧船で説明してくれる方も楽しくてよかったです。続いて水牛車に乗って由布島へ水牛車の方のお話、三味線、歌、全て最高でした！水牛がすごく賢くてかわいいのに驚きでした！由布島では触れる水牛がいてツノや体を触らせてもらえたり、お天気がよかったので景色も最高で植物、蝶にも癒され素敵な時間を過ごせました。もう少し由布島で時間があったらよかったなー。ツアー全体は本当に楽しくて、お話も楽しく親しみやすくこのツアーに参加して本当によかった！いい思い出がでしました！また機会があったら是非、利用したいです。

This is a great tour that allows you to meaningfully explore Iriomote Island and Yufu Island in half a day. On Iriomote Island, you can see the mangrove forests up close on a sightseeing boat. And above all, riding the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island makes you feel like time stands still. It's packed with amazing experiences in a short time!

半日で西表島、由布島を有意義に廻れる良いツアーです。
西表島では、遊覧船でマングローブ林を身近で見ることが出来ます。そして何より、水牛車に乗っての由布島は時の流れを止めてくれます。
短時間に大感動が詰まっています！！

I participated with a friend. The weather was nice, and the experience of riding the water buffalo cart while enjoying the beautiful scenery was amazing! It felt like time was flowing slowly, and I felt very fulfilled. The water buffalo named Neelan was very cute. Seeing the buffalo working in shifts made me feel motivated to do my best at work as well. I would love to use this service again when I visit Taketomi Island!

友人と2人で参加しました。
気候も良く、綺麗な景色を見ながらの水牛車体験は最高でした！
時間もゆっくり流れているような気がして、とても充実していました。
水牛のニーランくんがとても可愛かったです。
牛さんもシフト制で頑張っているので、仕事頑張ろうって思えました。笑
また竹富島に行く際は利用したいなと思いました‍♀️

You can efficiently enjoy sightseeing in Ishigaki Island from the morning. I was able to listen to the sounds of the three lines and savor a hamburger made with Ishigaki beef. Kabira Bay is also beautiful and highly recommended. There’s a shop for black pearls, so it’s definitely a place you want to visit.

朝から効率よく石垣島観光ができます。
3線の音色を聴かせてくれたり石垣牛のハンバーグを食べて満喫できました。
川平湾も綺麗でオススメです。
黒真珠のお店もあるので是非立ち寄りたい場所です。

It was a satisfying plan that allowed us to efficiently visit three islands in one day, including lunch. We rented bicycles on Taketomi Island, which provided exercise and made for a fulfilling day.

一日で効率よく3島めぐれて
ランチ付で　十分満足なプランでした。
竹富島でレンタサイクルを借りて
運動にもなり盛りだくさんな1日でした。

The bus guide helped us understand the local area of the island well. The island tour was also enjoyable. For lunch, we had a hamburger lunch.

バスガイドさんが島の方で地元がよく理解出来ました。
島観光も楽しかった。
昼食はハンバーグランチでした。

Thank you for your assistance.
In the morning, we departed from the remote island terminal, enjoyed a mangrove tour, and traveled by bus, making for a timely and fulfilling trip.
When crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo, there was an announcement and they sang island songs, but I’m sorry, I thought they could use more practice.
The lady on the mangrove cruise was skilled.
Thank you very much.

お世話になりました。
朝、離島ターミナルからの出発、マングローブ観光、バス移動と、タイムリーな充実した旅になりました。
水牛で由布島に渡る時、アナウンスや、島唄を歌ってくれるのですが、すみません。もっと練習した方が良いと思いました。
マングローブクルーズのお姉さんは、上手でした。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to participate again this year, just like last year. Last year's water buffalo carts had Musashi and Kojiro, but this year it was Sota and Mirai, and since I follow them on Instagram, it was fun to see their individual personalities. The round-trip bus had a driver who provided commentary; last year it was entertaining, but this year it felt more negative, and I wanted to hear more about Iriomote Island. The bento from Yufu Island was delicious, and overall, I was very satisfied.

昨年に続き今年も参加できました。
昨年の水牛車は武蔵くんと小次郎くんでしたが、今年は颯太くんと未来くんでインスタもフォローしているので、それぞれ個性があって楽しかったです。
往復のバス、運転手さんが案内をしてくれるのですが昨年は面白かったけど今年はネガティブな感じでもっと西表島のことを聞きたかったです。
由布島のお弁当も美味しいし全体的にとても満足です。

The weather was favorable, and the meticulous planning for the bus transfer on Iriomote Island was wonderful. On Taketomi Island, I walked over 10,000 steps. You definitely need comfortable shoes.
Google Maps didn't work.

天候にも恵まれ、西表島でのバス中継が必要で、綿密な計画が素晴らしかった。竹富島は、なんと１万歩以上歩きました。必ず、運動靴が必要です。
gogle mapが機能しませんでした。汗　　

We took a hotel shuttle to Euglena Port and then a high-speed ferry to Iriomote Island in 45 minutes. The mangrove cruise was blessed with good weather, allowing us to enjoy the magnificent natural scenery while listening to explanations about the mangroves and interesting stories as we observed them up close. We even had a welcoming sighting of a crested serpent eagle! After traveling by bus, we went to Yubu Island, where the water buffalo cart ride was a timeless experience, and the flowers on Yubu Island were very beautiful. We then took a bus to Taketomi Island, where we rented bicycles to explore the town and see the traditional Ryukyu architectural style. At the Nishi Sanchō, during low tide, we were able to see many tropical fish, giant clams, and sea cucumbers. It was a fulfilling and great value tour.

ホテル送迎でユーグレナ港へ、高速双頭船で45分で西表島へ。マングローブクルーズは、天気にも恵まれ、雄大な大自然の風景を鑑賞しながら、マングローブの説明を聞き、面白いお話を聞きながらマングローブをまじかに観察いたしました。なんと、カンムリワシの歓迎も！バスで移動して、由布島へ水牛車は時間を忘れるひと時、由布島は花がとても綺麗でした。バスで移動して高速船で竹富島へ、レンタサイクルで街中を徘徊し古き琉球の建築様式等を見れ、西桟橋では、干潮の時間で熱帯魚やシャコガイ、ナマコと沢山見れました。
充実のお値打ちツアーです。

It's early in the morning, but the highlights of the famous island were well organized. However, the sightseeing time on Takefumi Island was short due to the ferry schedule.

朝早いですが、有名な島の見所がまとまっていました
ただ、竹冨島の観光時間がフェリーの都合で短かったです

The hotel shuttle service was very kind and helpful. The bus tour of Taketomi Island was a bit rushed, but I think it's a great tour that covers the highlights for first-time visitors.

ホテルの送迎も含めてとても親切にしてもらえました。
竹富島のバス観光は少し慌ただしかったですが、初めて訪れる人にはいいとこ取りのいいツアーだと思います。

We participated in a tour with our three-generation family, including members in their 70s, 40s, and 20s.

We really enjoyed the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo cart ride, as there were plenty of explanations provided, making it a great experience for us first-time visitors.

The itinerary was packed with activities we wanted to experience, and we were satisfied with the price.

We visited in February when the temperature was around 20°C and it was cloudy, so the mangrove cruise felt chilly without a jacket due to the wind.

Having lunch included and being able to return to Ishigaki Island by 2:30 PM was convenient and appreciated.

70代、40代、20代の3世代家族旅行でツアーに参加しました。

マングローブクルーズでも水牛車でもたくさん解説が聞けるので、初めて訪れるわたしたちはとても楽しめました。

体験したい内容がぎゅっとつまっていて、お値段的にも満足です。

訪れたのが2月で気温20℃くもりのお天気で、マングローブクルーズは風を受けるので上着がないと寒く感じました。

昼食付きなのも、14時半に石垣島に戻ってこれるのも楽でよかったです。

This was my first time visiting Ishigaki Island, and I traveled alone. Since I didn't have much time, I chose a sightseeing bus to efficiently tour the island's attractions. I had done some research on the places we would visit, but I think you can enjoy it fully without any preparation since the guide provides information.

For an additional 1,000 yen, there was also time to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and the lunch set allowed me to experience the flavors of Ishigaki Island, which was delicious. I was able to learn about the highlights and history, so I feel it was the best choice for my first visit. (It was cloudy, so if it had been sunny, I would have rated it even higher... I apologize for that since it's something beyond the company's control.) By the way, the tour ended just after 2 PM, allowing me to catch the 3 PM ferry to Taketomi Island.

初めての石垣島観光、一人旅でした。
時間もあまりなかったこともあり、効率的に石垣島の名所を巡れるように定期観光バスを選択しました。
事前にどこをまわるかもわかっているので、それなりに下調べもしましたが、ガイドさんが案内してくれるので、何も準備しなくても十分に楽しめると思います。
１０００円のオプションになりますが、川平湾のグラスボートに乗る時間もあり、石垣島の味力を感じる昼食もセットなのもおいしいですね。
見どころや歴史なども学ぶことができるので、初めての訪問にはベストな選択だったと感じています。（くもりの天気だったので、もし晴れていたら最高評価です・・会社の力で変えられない”てん”なので申し訳ありませんが）
ちなみに２時すぎに終了するので、３時の船で竹富島にも渡ることができました。

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。

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。
