All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was worried about what would happen since a typhoon was approaching, but on the day of the tour, it was incredibly sunny!
Mangrove cruise → rode a water buffalo to Yufu Island → had lunch → moved to Taketomi Island → rented bikes and toured the key spots on the island. I even dipped my feet in the sea at Kondoi Beach. We had some extra time, so we enjoyed cocktails at a café. Overall, it was a fulfilling experience, and I was very satisfied.
I think 15,000 yen is an excellent value for this!

台風が近づいてきたのでどうなるかと思いましたが、ツアー当日はめちゃ晴れ！
マングローブクルーズ→水牛乗って由布島へ移動→ランチ食べて→竹富島移動→レンタル借りて島の要所を見学。コンドイビーチで足まで海に浸かったり。少し時間も余ったのでカフェでカクテル飲んで全体的に充実していて大満足。
これで15000円はコスパ抜群だと思います！

Even with a short stay, I was glad to be able to quickly visit various islands. On Iriomote Island, I enjoyed a mangrove tour with clear and polite explanations. The bus driver's announcements were also very entertaining. On Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo cart while listening to the sound of the sanshin, and I was able to take commemorative photos with the water buffalo. After enjoying a delicious bento box, I leisurely strolled around the island. On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle and explored. I had a lot of fun planning my own route using a map to visit the places I wanted to see. However, when I encountered a water buffalo cart along the way and stopped to look around, I didn't know where to move out of the way. When I asked which direction they were going, I was told harshly, "You're in the way. We're going that way," which was intimidating. I've heard that being at a higher eye level can sometimes make people feel more confident, but the passengers on the cart looked at me and whispered, laughing derisively. I understand that stress can build up and make people irritable, but their aggressive remarks without answering my question were unpleasant. It might be better to silently and quickly move out of the way when encountering a water buffalo cart on the road. It's unfortunate that I couldn't end my experience on a good note due to the lingering frustration, but I think it was an efficient tour.

滞在日数が少なくても、色々な島をサクッと訪れることが出来て良かったです。西表島では、わかりやすい丁寧な説明を受けながらマングローブを遊覧出来て楽しかったです。バスの運転手さんのアナウンスもとても面白かったです。由布島では三線を音色を聴きながら水牛車に乗って、水牛と一緒に記念撮影が撮れました。美味しい幕の内弁当を食べたあと、島の中をゆったりと散歩しながら満喫する事も出来ました。竹富島では自転車レンタルをしてまわりました。地図を見ながら自分でルートを考えて見たいところを巡りましたが、とても楽しかったです。途中水牛車がいたので自転車を止めて周りを見ましたが、どこに避けたら良いのか分からず、どっちの方向へ行かれますか？と尋ねたら「邪魔なんだけど。そっち通るから。」とキツく言われて怖かったです。目線の位置が高くなると気持ちが大きくなったりする事があると聞いた事がありますが、乗っていた乗客もこちらを見てコソコソ話しながら馬鹿にしたように鼻で笑っていました。色々ストレスが溜まってイライラするのもわかりますが、質問にも答えず攻撃的な発言は不愉快でした。道で水牛車に出会ったら無言で急いで逃げるのが良いかもしれません。モヤモヤしたままで、気分良く終われなかったのは残念ですが、効率的なツアーだと思います。

We participated as a family of four adults and three children. The coral we saw from the glass-bottom boat was more vibrant and breathtaking than anything I had ever seen before. It was a different kind of excitement compared to snorkeling! Both adults and children were thrilled. The water buffalo tour allowed us to see the town of Taketomi Island at a leisurely pace, and we also enjoyed the lovely songs from our guide. It was a hot day, but the water buffalo cart was cool in the shade.

大人4人、子供3人の家族で参加。グラスボートから見る珊瑚は、今まで見たことがないほど、色鮮やかで、感動的でした。シュノーケリングとはまた違った感動があります！大人も子供も大興奮でした。水牛での周遊は、竹富島の町中をゆっくり見られ、また、ガイドさんの素敵な歌も聞けてよかったです。暑い日でしたが、水牛の荷台は、日陰で涼しかったです。

I recommend signing up for this tour on the first day. This way, you can get a good grasp of the sightseeing options and narrow down what you want to experience. I was able to make reservations for the things I wanted to do from the second day onward, which made for a fulfilling trip.

The water buffalo cart experience was great, as it allowed us to enjoy two different conditions. The glass-bottom boat offered high underwater visibility, and we could see plenty of fish clearly.

初日にこのツアーの申し込みをおすすめします。これにより観光内容がだいたいつかめるので、何を体験んしたいかが絞れました。２日目以降体験したいことを予約し充実した旅行になりました。
水牛車は二カ所違う条件で体験できよかった。
グラスボートは水中透明度が高く魚もよく見えました。

Since I boarded first, I asked the captain and guide which side would be better to sit on, and they said, "Both sides are the same. We'll turn around on the way back. It might be better to sit on the left side, which won't be in the sun until we depart." So, I sat on the left. On the way there, they provided a detailed explanation while getting close to the mangroves on the right side, but on the way back, perhaps due to the tide, we just returned down the middle. I can only say it's disappointing that I couldn't see up close while listening to the explanations. Shouldn't we also get close on the left side, as mentioned in the initial announcement?

1番に乗り込んだので、船頭兼ガイドさんに座る席は右か左どちらが良いか聞いたら、「どちらも同じ。帰りは折り返すので。出航まで日の当たらない左が良いのでは？」と言われて左に座った。往き、右側をマングローブに近寄りながら丁寧に説明していらっしゃったが、帰りは潮の加減か、真ん中をただ帰るだけだった。説明を聴きながら近くで見ることができず、残念というしかない。最初のアナウンス通り、同じように左も近寄るべきではないですか？

The water buffalo's akahachi-kun added great flavor, and I was able to enjoy it leisurely. Cycling around the island with a rental bike and catching the last ferry was just perfect. I was very satisfied to have visited all the spots on Taketomi Island!

水牛のあかはちくんがいい味を出してくれてて、のーんびり堪能できました。
レンタサイクルで島一周して最後のフェリーでちょうど良かったです。
竹富島のスポットを全部周れて大満足でした！

Iriomote Island: It seems that 90% of the island is a protected area, truly giving it a jungle feel. The mangroves were quite impressive!

Yubu Island: The water buffalo carts are a must-see! The buffalo driver plays Okinawan songs on the sanshin.

Taketomi Island: The sea was incredibly beautiful! I think the combination of the sandy beach and the emerald green sea is among the best in the outlying islands. Riding a bicycle in the midsummer heat can be a bit tough, though... haha.

There are repeated transfers by boat and bus, which can be quite strenuous. Be careful of motion sickness. However, this tour is perfect for efficiently exploring three completely different islands and finding your favorite one!

西表島　　島の９割が保護区域だそうで、まさにジャングルという感じ。マングローブにはかなりの迫力がありました！
由布島　　なんといっても水牛車！牛者さん？が三線で沖縄の歌を演奏してくれます。
竹富島　　海がとっても綺麗でした！砂浜とエメラルドグリーンの海の綺麗さが離島の中でもトップクラスだと思います。真夏の自転車が少しきついですが…笑
船やバスでの移動が繰り返しあり、かなりハードではあります。乗り物酔い注意です。ですが、全く違う三島が効率よく回れ、お気に入りの島を見つけるにはもってこい！のツアーです。

The tour content was satisfying. We delayed the ferry from Taketomi Island to arrange our own cycling, and although it was brief, we were able to enjoy swimming in the sea, which made the kids happy.

ツアーの内容は満足。竹富島からのフェリーを遅らせてサイクリングを自己アレンジして、束の間でしたが海水浴もでき、子供は満足でした。

I participated in the tour because I wanted to explore other islands before going to Kohama Island the day after tomorrow. This tour is packed with highlights from each island.

The mangrove cruising in Iriomote was limited due to water depth, but I enjoyed the tropical plants. Riding the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island was a long-time dream come true for me. It felt completely different from the mainland, almost like being overseas. Yubu Island is a tropical botanical garden, so I got to see beautiful flowers. The gelato I had there was the best.

On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle and went cycling. I swam at a very beautiful beach and then returned. There are free changing rooms and showers, so if you love swimming, definitely bring your swimsuit!

I still have more to say, but thank you for such a fulfilling and enjoyable time.

小浜島には翌々日に行くので、それ以外を周りたいと思い参加しました。それぞれの島の見どころがギューっと詰まったツアーです。
西表のマングローブクルージングは水深の関係で奥まで行けませんでしたが、南国の植物を楽しめました。由布島の水牛車は昔から乗ってみたくて念願の初体験です。本土とは全く違う雰囲気で海外のようでした。由布島は熱帯植物園なので、綺麗な花が見られます。そこで食べたジェラートは最高でした。竹富島では自転車を借りて、サイクリング。とても綺麗なビーチで泳いで帰りました。無料の更衣室やシャワーがあるので、海水浴がお好きな方は是非水着持参で！
まだまだ書き足りませんが、とても充実した楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

I had a great time with a plan to quickly explore Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island in one day. The lunch was quite substantial. The plan included riding a water buffalo on Taketomi Island, but the water buffalo took a while to arrive, which made me anxious about whether we would make it in time for the bus. I felt that it would have been better to shorten the stay on Yufu Island to one hour and extend the time on Taketomi Island instead.

西表島、竹富島と　1日でざっと回れるプランで楽しかったです。お昼ご飯も結構ボリュームがあります。竹富島で水牛に乗るプランでしたが、水牛がなかなかこず、その後のバスの時間が決められていたため、間に合うのかとハラハラさせられました。由布島での滞在時間を1時間にして、その分、竹富島での滞在時間を延ばしたプランがいいなと感じました。

The itinerary included representative spots on Ishigaki Island, with lunch provided and explanations from the guide, making it very easy to understand. The guide also sang songs typical of Okinawa, which made for a pleasant bus tour. It was very convenient to be able to stop at the airport along the way, and I think the tour price is quite reasonable.

石垣島で代表的な箇所をおおよそプランの中に組み込まれ、昼食付き、ガイドさんの説明ありでとてもわかりやすかった。ガイドさんの沖縄らしい歌もあり心地よいバス観光を楽しめました。空港での途中下車も可能で大変便利で、ツアー料金もお値打ちなプランだと思います

The weather was nice, and I strolled around the island on a bicycle. At Glass Bottom Boat, we found Nemo, and the kids were overjoyed. The water buffalo cart driver sang wonderful island songs, and it was truly moving!

天気が良くて、自転車で島中プラプラ回りました。グラスポートでも、ニモを見つけ子供達大喜び、水牛車の運転士さん、みんな素敵な島唄を歌い、感激です！

This is my second time visiting Ishigaki Island, but during my last trip, I only went diving. This summer, I decided to do some sightseeing and participated in a tour during my free time.

In terms of time, it was almost half a day with lunch included, and the morning meeting time wasn't too early. The walking involved wasn't too much, making it an easy tour to join. Since it covers the classic spots, I think it's a recommended tour for those who want to sightsee efficiently.

Additionally, although it's not part of the itinerary, there are some entertainment options on the bus (including a sanshin performance). Please check the details by participating. From the bus window, we also got to see the family home of Eisho Higa from BEGIN (a guesthouse) and the home of Yoko Gushiken (next to which is a memorial hall), making it an enjoyable tour.

石垣島は2度目になりますが、前回行った時はダイビングしかしなかったので、今夏は観光をしようと、空いた時間を使って参加しました。

時間的には、お昼付きでほぼ半日、朝の集合もそれほど早くなく、歩く行程もそれほどないので参加しやすいツアーで、定番の場所はだいたい回っているので、効率よく観光をしたい方にはお勧めのツアーだと思います。

それと、行程にはありませんが、バスの中でお楽しみ（さんしんの演奏ほか）があります。詳細は参加してご確認ください。
車窓からにはなりますが、BEGINの比嘉栄昇さんの実家（民宿）や具志堅用高さん実家（隣は記念館だそうです）も見れて楽しいツアーでした。

I participated alone. Most of the other participants were families, couples, married couples, and friends, making up a tour of about 30 people. The seating on the sightseeing boat and the bus was spacious enough for solo participants, allowing me to join without any hesitation. Additionally, the lunch on Yubu Island was arranged for individuals, so I could enjoy it at my own pace.

Among the highlights, the mangrove sightseeing tour, especially the areas where two types of mangroves grow together, was very impressive. Also, crossing the sea on a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was just like the experiences often shown in tourist brochures, which was quite fun. The warm stories shared by the water buffalo driver were also delightful.

On the day of the tour, Okinawa was experiencing a record number of COVID-19 cases, but everyone was wearing masks, and since most of the itinerary was outdoors, it was a relaxed tour with little concern about crowding.

　一人で参加しました。周りは、家族づれ・カップル・夫婦・友達などがほとんどで、約３０人くらいのツアーでしたが、遊覧船や途中の移動バスの席が一人掛けでも余裕のある参加人数で気兼ねなく参加できました。また、由布島での昼食も一人用に仕切ってあり、ゆっくり味わいました。
　中でも２種類のマングローブが、一緒になっている所など見どころの多いマングローブ遊覧は見ごたえがありました。それと由布島へ水牛車で海の中を渡っていく様は、観光案内でよく見るあのままの体験で面白かったです。水牛使い手の方のほのぼのとした話も良かったです。
　ツアー参加日は、コロナ感染者が沖縄県でも最高数を更新していく日でしたが、みなさん当然マスクもし、外がほとんどの旅程でしたので、密になることは少なくあまり気にならない、ゆったりしたツアーでした。

First time in Ishigaki Island
Since my return flight was in the evening, I participated in a half-day tour.
Although the time spent at each sightseeing spot was not long, I was able to tour efficiently.
The bus guide entertained us with stories about the history of Ishigaki Island and songs played on the sanshin.
At the end of the tour, when I asked the guide where I could buy mangoes and pineapples, they kindly provided directions, which was very helpful.
The COVID-19 measures were also well implemented, making this a recommended tour.

初めての石垣島
帰宅日　夕方の飛行機だったので、半日観光に参加しました。
各観光名所は長い時間の滞在ではありませんでしたが、効率良く観光できました。
バスガイドの方の石垣島の歴史や三線の歌など楽しませて頂きました。
ツアーの終わりにガイドの方にマンゴーやパイナップルを買いたと尋ねると、とても親切に道案内をしていただき助かりました。
コロナ対策もしっかりしていて　おすすめのツアーです。

I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of each island. The driver’s island guide during the transfer on Iriomote Island was easy to understand. The mangrove boat tour also had thorough explanations, and the guide took their time to show us, allowing us to understand the characteristics of each tree. I recommend this for those who want to visit the remote islands but have concerns about the tourist routes.

それぞれの島の雰囲気を楽しむ事が出来ました。
西表島のパス移動でも、運転手さんの島ガイドが分かりやすかったです。
マングローブのボート観光も、説明が丁寧で、ゆっくり見せてくれたので、それぞれの木の特徴を理解出来ました。
離島には行ってみたいけど、観光コースに不安がある方にはオススメです。

Our family isn't great at early morning departures, but considering the afternoon heat, it was the right choice.

The guidance at each location was smooth and well-handled, so we didn't get lost. The explanation about the mangroves at Nakama River was clear thanks to the enthusiastic staff, and on the bus to Yubu Island, the driver's lively talk about life and prices on Iriomote Island (I was surprised to hear that bean sprouts cost 170 yen) and eating goat sashimi provided us with some interesting insights.

The main goal was the water buffalo cart, and it seemed like not everyone was going to play the sanshin, so on the way back, we hopped on a water buffalo cart with a performance and thoroughly enjoyed it.

On Taketomi Island, I had my first glass-bottom boat experience, and I got to ride the water buffalo cart for the second time. By chance, there was a performance of my favorite song "Dōgami," which moved me deeply. I do wish we had more time on Taketomi Island.

Given the season, it's no surprise that the heat was quite intense. Staying hydrated, wearing hats, and using parasols are essential. The sweat we worked up could only be washed off at the hotel.

My two sons experienced the Yaeyama Islands for the first time, and I believe it will be a lifelong memory for them. I think the staff must be having a tough time in the heat, but I hope they continue to greet guests with wonderful smiles. I would love to use their services again if the opportunity arises.

早朝出発が苦手な我が一家ですが、午後の暑さを考えると正解でした。

各地での誘導は手馴れた様子でスムーズに、こちらが迷うこともありませんでした。
仲間川マングローブもお姉さんのハキハキした説明でわかりやすく、それから由布島に移動するバスでも運転手さんの軽快なトークで西表島の生活や物価(もやし170円には驚き)、ヤギを刺身で食べるなど、なかなか知り得ないお話を聞けてよかったです。

1番の目的だった水牛車は皆さんが三線を演奏する訳ではなさそうなので、戻りに演奏付きの水牛車に乗り込み、堪能させて頂きました。

竹富島では初めてのグラスボート体験
そして2度目の水牛車に乗せてもらい、偶然にも大好きな「童神」の演奏があり、心から感動しました。
竹富島の滞在時間が短かったのはちょっと心残りかな…。

この時期なので当然といえば当然ですが、暑さはかなりのものです。
こまめな水分補給、帽子・日傘必須。
かいた汗はホテルでさっぱり流すしかありません。

息子二人は初めての八重山諸島でしたが、一生の記憶に残してくれたことと思います。
スタッフの方々も暑くて大変だと思いますが、これからも素敵な笑顔で迎えていただきたいです。
また機会あれば利用したいです。

I received very kind service! The glass boat and the ox cart were both amazing experiences, but above all, I was most impressed by the warm hospitality of the staff at Dream Tourism! It was an unforgettable experience, thank you! The pier on Taketomi Island was truly beautiful, one of the most stunning views I've ever seen! I definitely want to go again!

とても親切に対応していただきました！
グラスボートも牛車もとても素晴らしい体験でしたが
何より、ドリーム観光のスタッフの方の暖かい対応に一番感動いたしました！
忘れられない感動となりました、ありがとうございました！
竹富島の桟橋は、今までみた景色の中でも本当に美しかったです！
絶対にもう一度行きたいです！

I was able to experience the island hopping I wanted to do! I visited Iriomote Island, rode on a water buffalo cart, and had a wonderfully rich time. I want to go island hopping again!

とりあえず…の体験したい島めぐりができました！！行ってみたかった西表島、乗ってみたかった水牛車、ぎゅっと詰まった濃厚な時間が過ごせて良かったです！また島めぐりいきたいなー

We traveled for the first time as a couple, and it was so much fun. The day flew by. I think it was a very good tour.

夫婦で初めて旅行に来ましたが、とっても楽しかったです。
1日があっという間でした。
とても良いツアーだと思います。

On the first day of my trip, I arrived in Ishigaki Island in the evening, so I decided to take this tour to get an overview of the island at the start of my journey. The guidebook mentioned that reservations needed to be made by 5 PM the day before, so I couldn't book directly with the bus company from home a week prior (related to COVID?). I was glad to be able to make an immediate reservation through Veltra. On the day of the tour, there were about seven groups on the large bus, so we had plenty of space to sit comfortably, and the frequent hand sanitizing made for a safe and secure bus tour. The female guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she taught us many things we didn't know. Additionally, her performance with the sanshin and island songs was soothing. The driver was also very kind, which made for a pleasant experience. Since I didn't use a rental car, I felt it was worth participating in this tour with lunch included, as it allowed us to efficiently visit the main scenic spots.

旅行初日は夕方石垣島着だったので、実質旅の始めに島の概要を把握しようと思って利用しました。ガイドブックから前日17時までの申し込みが必要となっていたので1週間前に自宅から申し込もうとしても直接バス会社には予約できない事になっていました。(コロナ関連？)ベルトラさんから即時予約が出来て良かったです。当日は大型バスに7組程の利用だったのでバスの中はゆったり座れましたし、頻繁な手指消毒で安心安全なバスツアーでした。女性ガイドさんの説明は分かりやすく、知らないことを沢山教えて頂きました。また、三線と島唄もお上手で癒されました。運転手さんもお優しいお人柄で気持ちが良かったです。レンタカーを利用しなかったので昼食付のこの料金で主な景勝地を効率良く観光出来たので参加して良かったと思います。

The other two tour companies I initially researched seemed to have stopped accepting reservations until July 31, leaving me at a loss. However, I found Veltra's website and was able to make an immediate reservation.

Although there was growing concern about the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in Okinawa, I felt reassured by the thorough measures in place, such as temperature checks and hand sanitization at the meeting point. It seemed that the number of passengers was also adjusted, allowing for a comfortable seating arrangement.

After the Nakabaru River cruise and a round trip to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart, we were able to efficiently enjoy sightseeing on Taketomi Island within the limited time. I was delighted that Veltra allowed us to choose up to two options for activities on Taketomi Island, fulfilling my eager wishes.

最初に調べた他の2社の観光会社は7/31までの募集を停止していたようで予約できず、途方に暮れていた所、VeltraさんのHPに辿り着き即時予約が出来ました。
沖縄県でも連日感染者が急増中だったので、不安もありましたが、集合時の検温、手指消毒等も徹底してあり、乗船人数も調整されてたようでゆったり座れました。仲間川クルーズから水牛車で由布島往復後、竹富島での観光など、限られた時間の中で効率良く観光できるように考えられていると思いました。ベルトラさんは竹富島でのオプションを2つまで選ぶ事ができたので欲張りな願いが叶えられて嬉しかったです。

I want to mention one thing first: for some reason, the meeting time is set for 9:10, but the bus departs at 9:30, making the early arrival completely pointless. I hope this can be reviewed as it wastes time.

It's a bus tour that takes you around famous spots, and the amount of lunch provided is sufficient. Since I was traveling alone, this option was more convenient for exploring the island than renting a car. If you wish, they can drop you off directly at the airport, which can save you from the hassle of moving on the last day. Of course, you can also return to the city and engage in another activity in the afternoon. It's easy to combine with something else, so there's a high level of flexibility.

一点だけ先に言うと、なぜか集合が9:10までとなっているがバスの出発は9:30であり、早く行く意味が全くなかったので、設定が意味不明であった。時間が無駄になるので見直してほしい。

著名なところをざっと回ってくれるバスツアーで、昼食の量も十分。自分は一人旅だったので、車をレンタルするよりもこちらの方が島内を周遊するのには利便性が高かった。
希望すればそのまま空港に降ろしてくれるので、最終日に活用すると面倒な移動も節減できる。もちろんそのまま市街地に戻り、午後後半で別のアクティビティを行うのもよいと思う。何か別のものと組み合わせやすいので、柔軟性が高い。

It was a very hot day, but the ox cart on Taketomi Island provided shade, making it comfortable. The guide's explanations and the sanshin performance were great. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island also had well-highlighted points and was full of attractions.
Next, I want to challenge myself with canoeing on Iriomote Island.

　とても暑い日でしたが、竹富島の牛車は日陰が提供されていたので楽ちん。ガイドさんの説明&三線も良かった。西表島のマングローブ遊覧もポイントを抑えた説明で見どころ満載。
　次は西表島でカヌーに挑戦したいです。

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♪

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！
