There were many tourists on Taketomi Island, and I spent a lot of time waiting. I had reserved the last course, but due to the large number of people, the waiting time was long, and the sightseeing time was short. I was disappointed that I couldn't do the things I wanted to do, like exploring Taketomi Island.
The glass boat experience was not as clear as I had imagined, possibly due to the glass being foggy or the low transparency of the sea. There were also a few people who were feeling seasick from the considerable waves. However, the weather was nice, so it became a good memory.
竹富島の観光客が多く、待ち時間に時間を沢山取られました。
最終時間のコースを予約したのですが、人が多かった為か待ち時間が長く、観光時間が短く、竹富島観光で散策など、したいと思っていた事は出来ず、残念でした。
グラスボート体験は、想像よりガラスが霞んでいたからか、海の透明度が低かったからか、ハッキリとは見えず、かなりの波の揺れで船酔いしている方もちらほらおられました。
天気が良かったのでいい思い出にはなりました。

I was finally able to ride the water buffalo cart! The water buffalo was so cute.
The transfer from Ohara Port was very smooth with no waiting time!
The mangrove cruise provided detailed explanations about various types of mangrove plants, birds, and animals, which deepened my knowledge. The stay time on Yufu Island is quite short, so it might be better to eat lunch quickly.
It was a bit disappointing that it rained on the day, but I hope for clear skies next time and will try again.
念願の水牛車に乗れました!
水牛はとってもかわいかったです。
大原港からの送迎も待ち時間がなく、非常にスムーズでした!
マングローブクルーズも、いろいろなマングローブ植物の種類や、鳥、動物の種類をこまかく解説いただき、知識が深まりました。
由布島の滞在時間は結構短めなので、お昼ご飯を急いで食べた方が良いかもです
当日、雨が降っていたのが少し残念でした
晴天になることを祈り、またリベンジします。

This time, I applied for a day trip tour to Iriomote and Yubu Island because I wanted to ride the water buffalo.
Unfortunately, the weather on the day was not favorable, with rain coming and going, but I was able to purchase a raincoat at the Iriomote Terminal, so I enjoyed the trip without any issues.
We proceeded along the Nakama River in Iriomote, observing the mangroves on both sides of the river and the animals that only inhabit the area, and finally rode the water buffalo to Yubu Island!
On Yubu Island, we had free time, so we first enjoyed lunch. The luxurious bento allowed us to savor Okinawan cuisine, and I was very satisfied. There is also a café on Yubu Island, and if the weather is nice, the view of the sea is beautiful, making it a perfect location.
On the return trip with the water buffalo, there was a performance by the guide on the sanshin, which was fantastic (there was no performance on the way there, and it seems that whether you can hear the performance depends on luck, as some guides perform and some do not).
I will definitely use this service again! Thank you for the wonderful tour!
今回は由布島の水牛に乗りたくて西表・由布島日帰りツアーを申し込みました。
当日はあいにくお天気には恵まれず、雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが西表島ターミナルでカッパを購入できたので問題なく楽しめました◎
西表の仲間川を進み、川の両サイドにあるマングローブや現地にしか生息しない動物を観察し、念願の水牛に乗って由布島へ!
由布島では自由行動だったので、まず昼食をいただきました。豪華なお弁当で沖縄料理を堪能でき大満足です。
由布島内にはカフェもあり、お天気が良ければ海も綺麗に見えて絶好のロケーションでした。
水牛では復路は先導員さんの三線演奏もあり最高でした(往路は演奏はなく、演奏をする方としない方がいるようなので演奏を聞けるかどうかは運です)
また利用させていただきます★
素敵なツアーをありがとうございました!

I was looking forward to Iriomote Island, but unfortunately, it rained! My mood was a bit down, but the mangrove tour was enjoyable thanks to the guide's stories. The rain seemed to enhance the jungle atmosphere, making it even more fun. Although it was a short distance, I also enjoyed the bus ride to Yubu Island with stories from the local driver. The water buffalo cart on Yubu Island was full of charm, and I was soothed by the sanshin music. The lunch bento was delicious and had a local flavor. There was plenty of time to stroll around Yubu Island, and I was able to enjoy my first visit to Iriomote Island.
楽しみにしていた西表島でしたが、残念な雨!
テンション下がり気味でしたが、マングローブ遊覧はガイドさんのお話も楽しくて、雨のせいか逆にジャングル感が増したような気がして楽しめました。短い距離ですが、由布島へのバス移動も地元の運転手さんのお話で楽しめました。
由布島での水牛車も風情たっぷり、三線に癒されました。お昼のお弁当も郷土色あり美味しかったです。由布島内の散策時間もゆっくりあり、初めての西表島を楽しむことができました。

This was my second time participating in this type of tour, and this time the weather was even better than last time. The colors of the sky, the sea, and the greenery were all stunning, making for an emotional day. The staff were very polite and sometimes humorous while guiding us through Iriomote. Thanks to them, I fell in love with the water buffalo, the Iriomote cat, the coconut crab, and the nature of Iriomote Island. I was a bit disappointed with the lunch on Yubu Island, but since it's a remote island, I can't complain. I was grateful to have it. Next time, I definitely want to stay on Iriomote Island and relax to my heart's content.
このタイプのツアーに参加するのは2度目でしたが今回は前回より天候にも恵まれて、空の色、海の色、緑の色どれも素晴らしく感動の一日でした。担当の方々はとても丁寧に、時には面白く西表のことを案内してくださいました。おかげで水牛さん、イリオモテヤマネコ、やしがに、西表島の自然、すべてが大好きになりました。由布島の昼食がすこし残念な感はありましたが、離島なので文句は言えないですね。ありがたく頂きました。今度は是非西表島に宿泊して心ゆくまでのーんびりしたいです。

The water buffalo cart was very comfortable and enjoyable. The glass-bottom boat was not great due to the rain the day before, which affected the clarity of the water. There were also fewer fish; it was better at Kabira Bay, where there were fish and sea turtles even in shallower areas.
水牛車はとても心地よく楽しかった。グラスボートは前日の雨で海の透明感かイマイチ。魚も少なかった、川平湾の方が水深の浅いところでも魚や海亀がいてよかったです

This tour took place after I saw my sister off.
We arrived at Iriomote Island, crossing the vast ocean under a clear blue sky.
On Iriomote Island, I was welcomed by a water buffalo named Yudai, who gave me a ride. Despite needing to take breaks along the way, Yudai guided me in the right direction, overcoming his own discomfort. During the journey, our guide sang a song on the shamisen while calling out to Yudai, which resonated as a comforting voice for me.
When we arrived at Yufu Island, I was greeted by vibrant flowers and a variety of plants. They appeared to me as flowers prepared in memory of my late sister.
The mystical mangrove forest, though I couldn't see their faces, reminded me of my sister's hands, feet, and fingertips from days gone by. On the way back, I was carried by Ayame-chan.
I was taught by Yudai and Ayame-chan about the path I should take moving forward. Thank you. With feelings of emotion and gratitude, this memory will live on forever!
"Island of meeting and love!"
Thank you all very much.
このツアーは姉を見送ってからのことでした。
青く晴れ渡るなか雄大な海を渡り西表島へ到着しました。
西表島では水牛のユウダイ君が待っていてくれて乗せてくれました。ユウダイ君は途中で休みながらも苦痛なる自分の気持ちを行くべき方向へ渡ってくれました。途中、案内人の方がユウダイ君に声を掛けながら蛇味線で唄を披露してくださり、またそれは自分への慰めの掛け声として響き渡りました。
由布島に着くと鮮やかなお花を始め多彩な植物が迎えてくれました。それは、亡くなった姉への弔いの為に用意された花々として目に映りました。
また、神秘的であるマングローブの大群には顔は見えずとも在りし日の姉の手や足、または指先にも見えて映りました。帰りはあやめちゃんに乗せられて帰りました。

On the day of the tour, unfortunately, it rained. Even more disappointing was that I couldn't hear any of the Okinawan language that I had been looking forward to. The guide followed the guidebook too closely, used unnecessary polite language, and engaged in small talk with the driver instead of answering questions. I felt like I wasted my last moments in Ishigaki.

It was a cloudy day, but I participated in a calm and windless day. I was prepared for the possibility of getting wet, but there were no waves, and the ferry between Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island was comfortable without any rocking. Inside the ferry, there were also sales of simple rain gear or raincoats, so it seems you can purchase them on board depending on the weather.
During the Nakama River cruising, coinciding with high tide, we saw the mangrove forests along the banks of the river, which were so large that it was hard to tell if we were in a river or the sea. The guide provided detailed explanations about the types and characteristics of the mangroves while skillfully maneuvering the boat, and he made sure to stop at good spots for taking photos.
The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was larger than I expected, and I didn't get wet here either. Depending on the weather, it seems you can participate in light clothing and sandals. The 90 minutes of free time, including lunch on Yubu Island, requires careful time management to see everything. We spent more time than expected waiting for our turn to touch the water buffalo, Louis, and unfortunately, we could only leisurely explore the butterfly garden. However, I was able to purchase a commemorative photo with Louis, so I was fairly satisfied.
Although it wasn't a day with a blue sea and blue sky, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!
曇り空の日でしたが風もなく穏やかな日に参加。もしかして濡れるかも?と覚悟していたのですが、波もなく石垣島と西表島行き来の船も揺れることなく快適でした。船の中には簡易雨具?レインコート?の販売もしていたので天候によっては船で購入も可能のようです。船を乗り換えての仲間川クルージングは、満潮と重なったこともあり川か海かわからないくらいの大きな川の両岸に生息しているマングローブ林を見学しました。その種類や特徴をガイドさんが船を操りながら事細かに説明してくれて写真撮影のポイントにもしっかり止まってくれました。由布島へ渡る水牛車は思ったよりも大きくて、ここでも水に濡れることはありませんでした。天候にもよるのかもしれませんが軽装サンダル履きでの参加可能です。由布島での昼食を含めての90分の自由時間は時間配分を考えないと全部回ることができません。私達は水牛のルイ君に触るための順番に思ったよりも時間を取られてしまい他は蝶々園しかゆっくり回れず残念でした。でもルイ君との記念写真も購入できてまずまず満足です。青い海と青い空ではありませんでしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

Seeing the mangroves on Iriomote Island up close, riding a water buffalo cart across the sea to Yubu Island, and experiencing the old landscapes of Okinawa or Ryukyu that still vividly remain in the villages of Taketomi Island… These were all things I had wanted to see and experience for a long time!
The blue sky and white clouds, the clear sea extending to the horizon, and the wild appearance of plants that are sold as houseplants in Tokyo were all breathtaking sights. The explanations from the female guide during the mangrove tour were easy to understand and very good. The water buffalo cart tour allowed us to feel the cute and resilient nature of the island, as well as the relaxed flow of time. The beautiful bougainvillea blooming in the red-tiled village and the sound of the sanshin were wonderful.
The day we participated was very hot, but we were able to visit three islands in one day without any time loss, and the guidance was smooth and stress-free. Our hotel provided pick-up and drop-off service both ways, and I truly felt that joining the tour was a great decision! It can be quite challenging to arrange everything and hit the key points of sightseeing if you're not familiar with the area.
I would like to join another tour with Veltra in a different location. Thank you for the enjoyable experience!
西表島のマングローブが群生している川を間近で見る事、由布島で水牛車に引かれて海を渡る事、古い沖縄?琉球?の原風景が今も色濃く残る竹富島の集落…
どれも、ずーーーと昔から見たい!体験したい!と思っていた事でした。
青い空と白い雲、沖まで続く澄んだ海、東京では観葉植物として売られている植物の野生の姿、どれも感動的な光景で、マングローブ遊覧での女性のガイドさんの説明もわかり易くとても良かった。
可愛く逞しく、そしてのんびりした時間の流れを感じる事が出来た水牛車観光も島でしか体験出来ないこと、美しいブーゲンビリアの咲く赤瓦の集落と三線の音色が素晴らしかったです。
参加日はとても気温が高く暑くて大変でしたが、1日で3島も巡れて時間のロスなど全く無くストレスフリーでスムーズに案内して頂き、私たちの宿泊していたホテルは行きも帰りもホテルまで送迎もしてくれて、やはりツアーに参加して良かった!!とつくづく思いました。
慣れていないと手配もポイントを押さえての観光も大変ですから。
また別の地でもベルトラさんのツアーに参加したいです。楽しい体験をありがとうございました!

Due to time constraints for returning to Ishigaki Island, I chose this tour instead of the three-island tour that included Taketomi Island. I was disappointed not to visit Taketomi Island, but I was still very satisfied.
During the transfer from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, I was able to sit in a premium seat (second floor) for an additional 500 yen after boarding. There are indoor seats available, but the outdoor seats offer a beautiful view of the blue sea, and the breeze felt amazing. Premium seats may be limited on some boats, but I recommend them if you have the option.
After arriving at Iriomote Island, we first enjoyed a Nakama River cruise. The scenery seems to change significantly depending on the tide. When I participated, it was close to high tide, but I would like to see the scenery during low tide as well.
The highlight I was most looking forward to was the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island. It was my first time riding one, and I was surprised at how much it swayed. In contrast, the return trip was quiet, and it seems that the personality of the pulling water buffalo comes through.
I think this tour offers various experiences depending on the timing of your participation.
石垣島へ戻る時間の都合で、竹富島を含めた3島めぐりではなく、こちらのツアーを選択。竹富島へ行けなかったことは残念でしたが、それでも大満足でした。
石垣島から西表島への移動では、乗船後に500円の追加でプレミアムシート(2階席)に座れました。室内シートもありますが、屋外シートの方が海の青色がきれいに見え、風も最高に気持ち良かったです。プレミアムシートがある船は限られているかもしれませんが、もし選択できるのであればオススメです。
西表島到着後、まずは仲間川クルーズ。潮位によってだいぶ景色が異なるようです。私が参加したときは満潮に近い時間帯でしたが、干潮時の景色も見てみたいと思いました。
最も楽しみにしていたのは由布島への水牛車。初めて乗りましたが、こんなに揺れるものかと驚きました。一転、帰りは静かで、どうやら牽引する水牛の個性が出るようです。
参加するタイミングによって、様々な感じ方ができるツアーではないかと思います。

When I consulted at the reception in the morning, I was informed that it was possible to leave the tour midway, so I went directly to the hotel on Kohama Island from Ohara Port without returning to Ishigaki Island. It's a great point that you can leave the tour midway. Also, during the sightseeing on Iriomote Island, they took care of my luggage on the boat, which made it easy to enjoy the tour.
The weather was cloudy, but I was thrilled to see the crested serpent eagle from the mangrove boat tour. The water buffalo and botanical garden on Yufu Island were also full of tropical vibes, making for a very enjoyable experience.
Thank you for your reference.
朝の受付時に相談したところ、途中離脱が可能とのことでしたので、最後に石垣島には戻らず、大原港から定期船で直接小浜島のホテルに向かいました。
ツアーですが途中離脱ができるのは良い点です。また、西表島観光中は荷物を船で預かっていただいたので楽に観光できました。
天気は曇りでしたが、マングローブの遊覧船からカンムリワシを見ることができ感動しました
由布島の水牛や植物園も南国感満載でとても楽しい体験でした。
以上、ご参考まで。

My first visit to Ishigaki Island was inspired by a TV show where I saw people riding water buffalo carts to Yubu Island, and I thought it looked interesting, so I immediately signed up for this tour.
The mangrove cruise on the Nakama River in Iriomote Island was guided by a woman who shared fascinating information about the types of mangroves and their species in a relaxed manner. The pleasant weather made the experience even better.
During the bus ride from Nakama River to the water buffalo cart, the driver's jokes kept us entertained, making the journey enjoyable.
On the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, we learned that unlike deer, water buffalo horns do not grow back once they are broken, while the woman guiding the buffalo sang with a sanshin. It was an unexpected and wonderful experience. The water buffalo I rode had a large rear and was strong, living up to my expectations and making it the best experience.
初めての石垣島、たまたまテレビで由布島へ水牛者に乗って渡るのを見て、面白そうだと思ってすぐにこのツアーに申し込みました。
西表島での仲間川のマングローブ遊覧はガイドが女性の方で、マングローブの種類や種のことなど、ゆっくり面白く話をしてくれました。天気に恵まれたこともあって気持ちよかったです。
仲間川から水牛車への移動のバスでは運転手の方のジョークが利いていて、飽きることなく楽しく移動できました。
由布島へ渡る水牛車では、水牛の角はシカと違って折れたら生えてこないことなどの話を聞きながら、水牛を操る女性の方が三線で歌ってくれました。予期してなかったこともあっていい体験ができました。乗った水牛はおしりが大きくて引っ張る力も力強く、期待を裏切らず最高でした。

The explanation at the initial meeting point was very polite and easy to understand. However, I rode the water buffalo cart three times, and each time I was in the back seat... There was no consideration for that at all. Well, it's fine since all I could see was the back of the water buffalo, but it was amusing. The advantage of being in the back seat is that I could take pictures of the water buffalo carts coming from behind!

I participated in this tour because I wanted to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day. At first, I considered renting a car and going on my own, but I decided to join this tour because it seemed like a hassle and would take too much time.
The boat ride through the magnificent mangroves made me feel very elegant. Until now, I thought mangroves were just a type of tree, but I learned here that they refer to a group of plants that grow in coastal areas where freshwater and seawater mix.
On the bus to Yufu Island, which I would have just passed by if I were on my own, there was an explanation about the island, and I was glad I chose the tour for this reason.
I was amazed by the strength of the water buffalo during my first experience riding in a water buffalo cart. While we enjoyed the leisurely pace of the water buffalo, I also thought it must be hard work for them, and felt a bit sorry for them.
Walking around Yufu Island, surrounded by nature different from the main island, while seeing trees and flowers I had never seen before was wonderful.
On Taketomi Island, we took a bus to the beach. I heard that star sand can be found there, but it seemed quite difficult to collect, so I gave up.
Taketomi Island had beautiful townscapes surrounded by red roofs and flowers, which were very lovely.
Overall, I thought it was a good tour that allowed us to efficiently visit many places in a short time, but I wondered if it would have been even better if we could have gone further north.
1日で西表島、由布島、竹富島に行きたくて、このツアーに参加しました。
初めはレンタカーを借りて自力で行くことも考えましたが、自力で行くには手間や時間が大変そうなので、こちらのツアーに参加することに決めました。
大自然のマングローブの中での遊覧船はとても優雅な気持ちになりました。今までマングローブとは木の名前だと思っていましたが、淡水と海水が入り交じる沿岸に生育する植物郡の総称だとここで初めて知りました。
個人で行くとただ通りすぎるだけの、由布島に向かうバスでも島の説明がありこの点もツアーにしてよかったと思いました。
初めての水牛車は水牛の力強さに驚かされました。水牛のマイペースさにいやされて、私たちは楽しかったのですが、水牛にとっては大変な重労働、気の毒かな?とも思いました。
由布島は本島と違った大自然の中、初めて見る木や花などを見ながらの散策が最高でした。
竹富島ではバスに乗りビーチに行きました。
星の砂が取れるらしいのですが。取るのはなかなかむずかしそうなのであきらめました。
竹富島は赤い屋根と花に囲まれた美しい町並みがとても素敵でした。
総合的に短い時間で効率的に回れるよいツアーだと思いましたが、北の方にも行けたらさらによかったかな?と思いました。

First of all, I was extremely satisfied with the water buffalo cart and the interaction with the water buffalo! The water buffalo are sensitive to heat, but I was moved by their effort to cross the sea, and I was surprised at how intelligent they are! The guides hardly needed to direct them; they managed to start and stop on their own! It's hard to convey this in words, so you should definitely go and experience it for yourself!
The lunch was just the right amount, and I was able to enjoy the botanical garden and souvenir shops without any rush. It seems that it's good to wear clothes that can get wet during the summer, but since I went in October, wearing short sleeves and shorts was perfectly fine! Please make sure to visit!
まず、手っ取り早く大満足だったのが水牛車、そして水牛さんとの触れ合いでした!
暑さには弱い水牛さん達ですが、頑張って海を渡る姿には感動しましたし、何より水牛さん達が非常に賢くて驚きました!先導員さん達もほとんど誘導する事なく、自力で発車から停車まで頑張ってくれますよ!文字じゃ伝わりづらいので実際に行ってみてください!
お昼ご飯もちょうどいい量でしたし、無理なく植物園やお土産屋さんを見ることができました
夏場は濡れてもいい格好が良いらしいですが、10月にいった身としては半袖半ズボン私服で全然okでした!ぜひ行ってみてください

Second visit to Ishigaki Island.
Last year, I only went to Taketomi Island, so this year I participated in a tour of Iriomote Island and Yufu Island.
When I actually went, I found that the water buffalo cart station and the mangrove cruising boarding area were far from the port. If I had gone on my own, I would have needed a rental car or taxi, so the hotel shuttle and bus tour to the site were smooth, and it was great not having to buy tickets myself! The stories from the bus driver and the cruising staff were entertaining! On Yufu Island, perhaps due to the season, there were fewer flowers and the lunch bento was not great, but above all, crossing with the sound of the sanshin and feeling the wind on the water buffalo cart was the best!
I also got to interact with the water buffalo, Ruikun, and he was super cute!
2度目の石垣島
昨年は竹富島オンリーだったので
今年は西表島と由布島ツアーに参加しました。
実際行ってみると港から水牛車乗り場や、マングローブクルージングの乗り場までが遠く、個人で行ったならレンタカーやタクシーが必要になるので、ホテルの送迎から現地までのバス観光がスムーズで自分でチケットを買う必要もなく良かった!バスの運転手の方やクルージングのスタッフの方の話が面白かった!由布島では季節のせいか花々が少なくランチのお弁当がイマイチだったけど、なんといっても三線の音色と風を感じて渡る水牛車は最高!
水牛ルイ君とも触れ合えてめちゃ可愛かったです。

On October 12, my spouse and I participated in the tour. The mangrove cruise had staff who provided detailed and easy-to-understand explanations, allowing us to truly appreciate the nature of Iriomote Island.
The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was just as satisfying as I had seen in magazines. I could hear the sound of the seawater as the buffalo stepped through the shallow waters, accompanied by the sanshin and Okinawan folk songs, while enjoying the color of the clear sky and the leisurely flow of time. On Yubu Island, there were subtropical plants, butterflies, gelato, and more; 90 minutes, including meals, felt insufficient.
After the island tour, we returned to Ishigaki Island Terminal at 3 PM. Since we had a shuttle service to our hotel, we were able to relax until dinner, which was great.
Lastly, I was very impressed by the well-maintained restrooms at the places we visited in Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.
10月12日に夫婦二人で参加しました。マングローブクルーズはスタッフの説明も丁寧でわかりやすく西表島の自然に感じることができました。
由布島への水牛車は雑誌等で見ていた通り、大満足しました。水牛が浅瀬を一歩一歩進む時の海水の音と三線と沖縄民謡 晴天の空の色、ゆったりとした時の流れを感じることができました。由布島では、亜熱帯植物 蝶々 ジェラート等々 食事を含めた90分では足りないくらいでした。
二島巡りで15時から石垣島ターミナルへ帰港。ホテルまで送迎付きだったので夕食までのんびりとした時間も取ることができ良かったです。
最後に石垣島に来て立ち寄った所のトイレの手入れが行き届いていて大変感動いたしました。
ありがとうございました。

This time, I participated in this activity with a companion. First, we took a ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island. I was worried that the ferry would be quite rocky before boarding, but it only swayed a little at times, which actually heightened my sense of adventure and made for an enjoyable ride.
Upon arriving at Iriomote Island, we took a cruise ship for a mangrove tour. The main purpose of my trip was to see the mangroves, and it felt like I had come to a foreign land, making me question if I was really in Japan. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. I saw many types of mangroves that I had never seen before, along with numerous large herons and a swarm of soldier crabs. The cruise captain provided detailed explanations, which were very interesting.
Next, we participated in an event where we crossed to Yufu by water buffalo. The water buffalo pulling the cart, which along with the passengers weighed a total of 2 tons, was an impressive sight. Towards the end, the person leading the water buffalo sang traditional Okinawan music on the sanshin. The lunch provided along the way was made with plenty of Okinawan ingredients.
After that, we went to a beach on Taketomi Island where you can find star sand. The beach had high transparency, and I was able to see and hold the star sand. There were also cute little hermit crabs everywhere on the beach. Later, we participated in an event where we toured the historic town of Taketomi Island by water buffalo. The young lady guiding the water buffalo introduced various aspects of the traditional town, and she sang traditional Okinawan music on the sanshin, which was truly soothing.
This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I’m really glad I participated in these activities. I highly recommend this tour!
この度は当方と同行者の二人でこちらのアクティビティに参加させて頂きました。
まずは、フェリーにて石垣島から西表島まで行きました。フェリーも乗船前は結構揺れるのかと心配しましたがたまに少し揺れる程度でむしろ冒険心を掻き立てられて楽しい乗船でした。
西表島に到着をしたらクルーズ船にてマングローブ遊船を行いました。今回の当方の旅行のメインはマングローブを見にいくことでしたが想像以上に異国の地に来たような感覚で本当にここは日本なのか?と感じる程の絶景で美しいものでした。見たことのないような多数の種類のマングローブに、大きなサギが多数おり、軍隊ガニの群れなどを見ることができました。クルーズの運転手さんも細かな説明をして頂き大変興味深いものでした。
次は、由布まで水牛で渡るというイベントでした。牛車と客の合計が2トンということでそれを引っ張り海を渡る水牛の姿は圧巻でした。最後の方は水牛を先導する方が三線で沖縄の伝統的な音楽を歌ってくれました。途中提供された昼食は沖縄の食材をふんだんに使ったものとなっておりました。
次は竹富島にて星の砂が取れるビーチまで行きました。ビーチは透明度が高く本当に星の砂があり手にとって見ることができました。ビーチの至るところに可愛い小さなヤドカリも見ることができました。その後は、歴史的な竹富島の町を水牛で周るイベントに参加しました。伝統的な町並みを水牛を引くお姉さんが色々と紹介をしてくれ途中からは三線で沖縄の伝統的な音楽を歌ってくれて本当に癒されるものでした。
今回初めての石垣島旅行でしたがここのアクティビティに参加して本当によかったと思いました。是非おすすめのできるツアーです!

I went on a 2-night, 3-day tour with a college friend and their daughter and son-in-law. We stayed at our usual spot, the Fusaki Resort Hotel, which I've been to for the tenth time now. Every time I come here, the atmosphere inside the hotel makes me feel like I'm in a tropical paradise. The next day, we took a ferry from Euglena to Ohara on Iriomote Island, then rode a water buffalo cart to Yufu Island, where we strolled through the botanical garden, the talking garden, and the bougainvillea garden. After that, we enjoyed a mangrove tour on a cruise ship on the Nakamagawa River, and I was impressed by the guide's detailed explanation of the mangrove ecosystem. In February of this year, I had a canoe experience on Nakamagawa, but the cruise ship was definitely better since it could go further upstream. On the way back, we went directly to Ohara Port, toured Taketomi Island, and then returned to Ishigaki Port. It was a fulfilling tour. Next time, I plan to come back next year for diving and fishing.
大学時代の友人と友人の長女夫妻と2泊3日のツアーでした。宿泊は常宿のフサキリゾートホテルで、このホテルも10回目になりますが、いつ来ても館内の雰囲気は南国気分になりますね。翌日は、ユーグレナから西表島大原に渡り由布島水牛車に揺られて由布島に渡り植物園、喋園、ブーゲンビリア園を散策してから仲間川で、クルーズ船でマングローブ観光したが、ガイドさんの説明がマングローブの生態系について非常に詳細で感心した。今年の2月は仲間川でカヌー体験しましたが、やはりクルーズ船の方が上流まで行けて良かったですね帰りは直接大原港に着いて竹富島観光してから石垣港に戻りましたが、充実したツアーでした。次回は来年にダイビングと釣りで来ます。

We departed from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island on the 8:10 Dream Tourism boat.
After arriving at Iriomote Island, we took a bus to the entrance of Yubu Island. The bus ride was engaging, so we didn't get bored.
From 9:30, we took a water buffalo cart for about 15 minutes, leisurely making our way to Yubu Island. The water buffalo was strong and had a gentle demeanor. Listening to the relaxed talk from either an older man or a young man while being carried along was truly a precious experience. On the water buffalo cart I rode, they played the sanshin and sang both ways, which added to the atmosphere. I think whether or not you get sanshin performances on other carts might depend on luck.
After arriving at Yubu Island, we had about 100 minutes for free exploration, including lunch. If you have no issues with your legs, you can see and enjoy plenty in this time.
You can also take commemorative photos with the water buffalo. Each group gets two photos taken, with one card-sized photo for free, while larger sizes cost 1,500 yen for one and 2,500 yen for two. If you purchase, you can also download the data, which feels quite savvy. I ended up buying both photos. (laughs) They are wonderful memories.
After 12:00, we went on the Nakama River Mangrove Cruise. We enjoyed the cruise for just under an hour while listening to explanations about the mangrove trees and the birds that appeared.
If you have members who can do canoeing or SUP, those tours provide a more intense experience of the mangroves. However, for older individuals or those with children, I felt that this cruise was the best option after experiencing both.
Around 14:20, we returned to Ishigaki Island, allowing for further plans afterward. I thought it was a compact yet thoroughly enjoyable tour.
8:10のドリーム観光さんの船で石垣島から西表島に向かって出発しました。
西表島についてからバスで由布島入り口までいきます。
バス車内でもお話が聞けるので退屈しません。
9:30から15分ほどかけて水牛車にのって、
ゆったりと由布島まで行きました。
力持ちで穏やかそうな性格の水牛さん。
おじぃもしくはお兄さんのゆるーいトークを聞きながら、のっしのっしと運んでくれる様は
本当に貴重な体験でした。
私が乗った水牛車では、往復どちらも三線を弾きながら歌ってくださり、雰囲気に浸れて良かったです。三線演奏がなさそうな他の水牛車もあったのでこれは運次第かな、と思います。
由布島到着後は約100分ほど、昼食含めて自由散策です。足腰に不安がなければ、十分この時間で見て楽しめます。
水牛さんとの記念撮影もできます。
1グループにつき2枚撮影してくださり、
カードサイズは1枚無料でいただけて、
大きいサイズは1枚1500円、2枚なら2500円で購入方式。購入するとデータでもDLできるという…商売上手な感じです。
2枚とも買わせていただきました。笑
とても良い思い出の写真です。
12時過ぎに仲間川マングローブクルーズへ。
1時間弱かけて、マングローブの木々や、現れた鳥たちの解説を聞きながらクルーズを楽しみました。
もしカヌーやSUPなどができるメンバーなら、
そっちのツアーのほうがマングローブはより迫力を体感できますが、高齢の方やお子さんがいる場合は、こちらのクルーズがベストだと、両方体験して感じました。
14:20頃には石垣島に帰ってこられて、その後もなにか他の計画を立てられるので、
コンパクトにまとまりつつ、十分楽しめる良いツアーだな、と思いました。

This was my third time in Ishigaki Island, but since I had only used the ferry terminal and hadn't visited any tourist spots, I decided to take the regular sightseeing bus for an efficient tour.
The driver and the guide were fantastic! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I learned a lot of interesting stories that I would have missed if I were sightseeing on my own, like the story of Minsaa weaving and the sanshin and songs.
Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, but Kabira Bay was beautiful, and the view from Tamatorizaki Observatory, which is quite far and difficult to access, was also stunning. I wasn't very interested in the Yaeyama Palm Forest, but once I saw it, I thought it was really great.
Unfortunately, I had to get off at the airport at the end, so I hope to stay on until the end next time. By the way, lunch was just average.
石垣島は3度目だったけど、離島ターミナルを利用するばかりで観光名所は回ってなかったので効率よく回れる定期観光バスを利用しました
運転手さんとガイドさんがめっちゃ良かったです!ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすくて、個人で観光しても知らないまま終わってしまいそうなお話を沢山聞けました ミンサー織りのお話とか三線と歌も良かったです
生憎の曇り空でしたが、川平湾綺麗だったし遠くてなかなか行きづらい玉取崎展望台からの景色も綺麗でした ヤエヤマヤシ原生林もあまり興味なかったのに、見たらめっちゃ良かったです
最後残念ながら空港で降りてしまったので、次回は最後まで乗りたいなぁと思います。ちなみにランチは普通でした
