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。

The tour of Ishigaki Island is perfect for those without a car, allowing you to efficiently visit the highlights of the island in about half a day. At Kabira Bay, you can choose to ride a glass-bottom boat or go for a walk. The glass-bottom boat was available at a special tour price, making it a great deal. We even saw turtles!
The guide continuously shared various stories about Ishigaki Island without a break, which was very enjoyable. For lunch, there were plenty of local dishes, and I left feeling full. The view from there was also very beautiful.
In the latter part of the tour on Taketomi Island, there was no guide, but we showed our tickets to board the boat, and upon arrival, we were quickly picked up by a car, which then took us to ride a water buffalo cart. The flow of the tour was very smooth, which was great.
During the photo session with the water buffalo, we received a free commemorative photo, which was a wonderful keepsake. After that, we explored on our own, but due to the busy season in July, all the rental bicycles were fully booked, so I couldn't rent one. If you want to rent a bicycle, it might be a good idea to make a reservation in advance.
I explored on foot and enjoyed a leisurely time for about an hour and a half. For the return boat, you can choose between 4 PM or 5 PM. The shuttle bus to the boat was also smoothly arranged, which was very good.
I think this is a great plan for first-time visitors.
石垣島観光は車がない人にはもってこいの、半日位で石垣島の見どころを効率的に回れるとても良いツアーでした。川平湾ではグラスボートに乗るか、散策か選べます。グラスボートはツアーの特別価格で乗れてとてもお得でした。亀も見られました!
ガイドさんは休むことなくずっと石垣島に関するいろいろなお話をしてくださりとても楽しかったです。
お昼はちゃんと土地の物のおかずが沢山ありお腹いっぱいになります。そこからの景色もとても美しいです。
後半の竹富島はガイドさんはおらず、各自で最初にもらったチケットを見せて船に乗り、向こうではすぐお迎えの車に乗れ、その後水牛車にすぐ乗車できます。流れがとてもスムーズで大変良かったです。
その後の水牛との写真撮影では無料の記念の写真も貰えとても良い記念になりました。
その後は各自散策しますが、7月の繁忙期のため着いてからレンタサイクルは予約がいっぱいで借りられませんでした。もしレンタサイクル希望なら事前に予約がいいかもしれません。
私は徒歩で散策しましたが、約1時間半のんびりできました。
帰りの船は、16時か17時で選べます。船までの送迎バスも予約がスムーズでとても良かったです。
初めての人にはとても良いプランだと思います。

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。

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!

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(^^)

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.

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。

I participated in this trip as a solo traveler. Although I felt a bit lonely since there were no other solo travelers, the continuous beautiful scenery made me forget about that. If I could be a little selfish, I would have liked to extend my stay on Iriomote Island and do a bit more sightseeing by bus. Conversely, I think half the time on Yufu Island would have been sufficient. I appreciated that on Taketomi Island, I could choose my return time. As a solo traveler, I was able to see everything quickly, so I had extra time. Overall, it was a wonderful tour that created lovely memories.
今回は一人旅で参加しました。
他に一人旅の人がいなくて少し寂しい気がしましたが、それを忘れる位の素敵な風景の連続でした。
しいてわがままを言わせていただければ、西表島の滞在時間を少しのばして、もう少しバスで観光したかったです。
逆に由布島は半分くらいの時間でも十分だったと思います。
竹富島は帰りの時間が選べるのは良かったと思いました。
一人旅だとあっという間に見て回れるので時間が余るくらいでした。
トータル的には素敵な思い出が出来たツアーでした。

Every year, I used to visit Ishigaki Island with my daughter. Since my husband and I can no longer drive, we decided to ask a sightseeing taxi service for help. This was my 11th visit to Ishigaki Island, and we were able to drive along mountain roads we had never been on before, enjoy breathtaking views in spacious grasslands, and relax at a restaurant where we could savor delicious lunch and juice. They guided us through a fulfilling day. They even accompanied us to the hospital for my husband's swollen joints. I feel I can give my daughter, who will be commemorating her third anniversary this year, some good news. I would definitely like to use your services again next time. Thank you very much.

That's why I gave it four stars.

Since my flight was around 7 PM on the last day of my trip, I wanted to make the most of the half day and made a reservation two days prior. It happened to be a day of high tide, so we were able to take a route on the Nakama River cruise that usually cannot be accessed due to low water levels, allowing us to see mangroves that can only be found there. However, the water level was so high that the roots, which are a characteristic of mangroves, were almost submerged. I feel that experiencing the jungle-like atmosphere of the mangroves would be better during low tide. We sat on the right side of the boat, but since the boat traveled upstream along the left bank, I wished we had sat on the left side. (This also depends on the water level, so it can't be said definitively.)
On Yubu Island, we had 90 minutes of free time, including lunch. It takes less than an hour to walk around the entire island, so the time was sufficient. Since the return trip goes via Taketomi Island, if you have extra time, I recommend getting off at Taketomi Island to explore by rental bicycle or ox cart. You can ride an ox cart on Yubu Island, so personally, I think it's best to cycle around Kondoi Beach and Kaiji Beach.
Next time, I want to stay on Iriomote Island and enjoy more activities on the island.
旅行最終日が19時頃の飛行機だったので半日を有効活用したいと思い、二日前に予約を取りました。ちょうど大潮の日の満潮時だったので仲間川のクルーズでは普段水位が足りなくて通ることができないコースを通ることができ、そこでしか見られないマングローブを見ることができました。ただ、水位が高過ぎてマングローブの特徴である根っ子はほぼ水没していました。マングローブのジャングルらしさを味わうなら干潮時の方がいいような気がします。私達はボート右側に座ったのですが、ボートは左岸に沿って川を遡ったので左側に座れば良かったと思いました。(これも水位によって航行ルートが変わるので一概には言えませんが)
由布島では昼食を含めて90分の自由時間がありました。島全体は1時間もかからずに一周できるので時間は充分です。帰りは竹富島経由なので時間に余裕があるなら竹富島で降りて、レンタサイクルや牛車で島を観光することをお勧めします。由布島で牛車に乗れるので、個人的にはレンタサイクルでコンドイ浜やカイジ浜を回るのが良いかと。
次回は西表島に宿泊してもっと島内のアクティビティを楽しみたいです。

First, we were able to explore the mangroves by boat and take our time with photos (the guide was also very attentive). The water buffalo cart was a slow-paced ride, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. On the way back, we returned a bit faster with a different guide, but it was no problem since it was the return trip.
Finally, on Taketomi Island, we rode bicycles using a map. I had selected places to visit in advance online, so we were able to explore with plenty of time to spare.
Additionally, lunch was prepared with local ingredients, which was satisfying. It’s a tour that you can enjoy at a relaxed pace throughout the day, even for someone over 60...
まずは、ボートで「マングローブ」をいろいろ散策でき、

水牛車は、ゆっくりタイプに乗車でき、本当にのんびり観光できました。

A trip to Ishigaki Island during the rainy season. I considered renting a car, but I opted to tour around by taking the bus. Despite the heavy rain on the day of the tour, I decided to take shelter on the bus early and relax. The bus covers all the tourist spots, so I thought about revisiting places I liked or those I missed later, but I didn't have any specific places I wanted to go to, and this tour was sufficient for me. I'm glad I participated.

Lunch was a bento at a restaurant, followed by free time for exploration. It was nice to take it slow.
On Taketomi Island, we immediately went on a bus tour to see the star sand and other attractions.
It was a very hot day, so I was glad I didn't choose to ride a bicycle.
After that, we enjoyed a water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island, which included photo opportunities.
I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to see everything in one day.
カウンターでチケットを受け取り、乗り場に向かいます。座席は自由席なので、早めに向かうといい席に座れます。
西表島では30分位のマングローブ遊覧。ガイドさんが植物や動物について、とても詳しく説明をしてくれます。
由布島までは水牛車で移動します。ガイドさんの三味線は癒されます。
ランチはレストランでのお弁当。その後自由散策。ゆっくりできます。
竹富島では到着後すぐバス観光で、星の砂などに行きます。
とても暑い日だったので、自転車を選択しなくて良かったです。
その後竹富島での水牛車観光。写真撮影もありました。
1日で効率よく回れて大満足です。

The course was well thought out and smoothly conducted, making the day fly by. I realized that there are many water buffaloes being raised, which is quite popular. It was a fun and fulfilling day. Thank you very much.
コースは良く考えられており、スムーズに慣行されており1日があっという間に過ぎました。
水牛も多く飼われており人気な事が分かりました。
楽しくて充実した1日でした。
ありがとうございました。

The weather was cloudy from the morning. First, we were given a booklet with all the tickets for the itinerary. We were with various tour groups. The journey to Iriomote Island was quite long. We transferred to a bus and headed to the cruise ship terminal. The driver and guide was very good at speaking! After switching to the cruise ship, we observed the mangroves. Having done quite a few guided river cruises in Southeast Asia, I wasn't particularly impressed. We then transferred to another bus to go to the water buffalo cart station. The water buffalo cart ride while listening to Yaeyama folk songs was nice! The Okinawan cuisine at Yubu Island, accompanied by explanations, was delicious! After the meal, we took a commemorative photo with the water buffalo "Rui-kun"! I wanted the photo data and purchased two for 2500 yen. You can quickly download the data with a QR code. Then, there was a thunderstorm! During that time, we enjoyed Yubu Island coffee and cake at the Yubu Island tea house. The coffee was very tasty with a slight acidity. It seems to be a daily blend. When the rain lightened up, we returned to Iriomote Island by water buffalo cart, switched buses to go to the port, and took a boat to Taketomi Island. We took another bus and visited two beaches. At the much-anticipated Hoshizuna Beach, the rain stopped, but we couldn't find any star sand... After that, we enjoyed a guided tour of Taketomi while listening to Yaeyama folk songs on the water buffalo cart. After finishing, we took a commemorative photo. The data costs from 1500 yen. With only 20 minutes left, we went up to the observation building, bought ice cream at an ice cream shop, and ran around—then took the bus back to the port to return... I wish they could shorten the cruise time and give us an additional 30 minutes for sightseeing on Taketomi Island. It was quite a hassle to tear off and present tickets for every part of the itinerary. I would prefer a system where you just show a printed wristband with the course number, like at an amusement park.
朝から曇りのお天気でした。最初に全ての行程のチケット綴りが渡されます。
色々なツアーの方と一緒でした。西表島までは結構長かったです。バスに乗り換え、クルーズ船乗り場まで行きます。運転手兼ガイドさんが喋りが上手いです!クルーズ船に乗り換え、マングローブ見学。東南アジアあちこちで、手漕ぎ船ガイド付きリバークルーズを、かなりしたので、イマイチ感動は無かったです。またバスに乗り換え水牛車乗り場まで行きます。八重山民謡を聴きながらの水牛車は良かったです!由布島について、説明付きの沖縄料理も美味しかったです!食後に水牛「るいくん」と記念撮影!写真データが欲しくて2枚2500円購入しました。QRコードですぐにテータ取り込めます。そこで雷雨のスコール!!その間、由布島茶屋で由布島コーヒーとケーキをいただきました。少し酸味のあるとても美味しいコーヒーでした。日替わりブレンドだそうです。小雨になるころにまた水牛車で西表島に帰り、バスに乗り替え港へ行き船で竹富島まで行きます。またバスに乗り2つ浜を回りました。楽しみの星砂浜で雨が上がりましたが、星砂は見つからず・・・。その後、水牛車にてガイドと八重山民謡を聴き竹富観光。終了後記念撮影。データーは、1500円~。
残り時間20分で展望ビルに上り、アイスの商店でアイス購入し、走り回り~またバスで港へ行き船で帰港・・・。クルーズ時間を短くするかして竹富島観光時間を、あと30分は取って欲しい。全ての行程でチケットを切り取り、出すのが大変でした。遊園地の腕輪のようにコース番号印刷をはめれば見せるだけでOKみたいなものを使ってほしいです。

1: I went to see the mangroves in Amami Oshima first, and this time the mangroves were quite disappointing. I do not recommend it. During the hour-long cruise, I listened to music and did other things. I will upload photos on social media, as a reality check.
2: Regarding the ox cart, I was informed by the local staff that moving to a different seat (especially towards the back) puts significant strain on the ox's neck, which has led to instances of fainting and even life-threatening situations in the past. It would have been better if this information had been provided during the adjustment phase when we were confirming our seating positions before departure, but this discussion happened during the return trip. I found it very stressful to receive a stern warning without prior explanation during the outbound trip when we were fixing our seats. I will never visit this island again. It was a very unpleasant experience, and I will not support it.
3: Additionally, the tour did not include the "2022 shuttle bus timetable" until I pointed it out. It was still showing the expired link from early 2021. The management staff seems to be involved with both the tour company and the matching site. I couldn't understand the operational awareness of the management staff.
4: I received a phone call the day before the tour to inform me of the meeting time (the same applies to other tours), but it was frustrating that, despite the application being online, the follow-up was done via phone. If it's an IP call, it incurs charges, and during my trip to Okinawa, I was busy the day before and in remote areas with poor reception (which I experienced). I strongly request improvements to the operational system. Essentially, the goal is to ensure mutual recognition of the meeting time and place. If so, it would be sufficient to transition to a screen where we can click through using the email address we used for the application, right? While developing an app or a large-scale system can be costly, this kind of task could be handled by a small team in a short time. I applied for two tours during my trip to Okinawa, but considering the shortcomings of the current system, I will not be repeating. Please enhance IT knowledge, update the latest information, and reconsider your marketing strategies.
Based on the reasons and experiences above, I believe it would be better to arrange individual options myself rather than relying on the tour application to avoid dissatisfaction.
1:奄美大島のマングローブを先に見に行っていると、今回のマングローブはかなりのガッカリレベル。おすすめはしない。
約一時間の遊覧中、音楽聴いて別のことしてました。
SNS等で写真はアップします。実態として。
2:牛車では、座っている場所を移動(特に後方)すると牛の首に強度の負荷が生じ、気絶や生命につながる事案が過去幾度も発生したため現地担当者は懸念している旨説明がありました。
牛車がまだ出発前の段階で各自の席位置を確定させる調整段階の時に上記話があればよかったのですが、この話は帰りの牛車時でした。行きの牛車時に説明なく(かつ出発前の席固定調整時)に強い口調で注意だけされた私には非常にストレスフルでした。
二度とこの島へは行きません。非常に不快な思いでです。支援もしません。
3:また本ツアーは「2022送迎バス時刻表」を私が指摘するまで掲載がありませんでした。リンク期限切れの2021年前半掲載のままでした。
管理担当者はツアー会社側と本仲介(マッチングサイト)両者と推測されます。管理担当者の運用意識が私にはわかりかねました。
4:ツアー前日に電話がかかってきてその際に集合時間を案内されますが(他ツアーも同じく)申し込みがWebなのにその後アナログ対応で電話とは。。。IP電話だと電話代発生しますし沖縄旅行だと前日もバタバタしていたり離島や電波の悪い場所にいたり(私はそうでした)。運用システムの改善を強く要望します。
要は、目的が「集合時間、場所相互認識一致」ですよね。
なら申し込みに使用したメールアドレスからそのような画面へうつってクリックするなりすれば目的は果たせますよね?
アプリや大掛かりなシステム開発では費用がかさむこともありますが
この程度のものなら短時間少人数で対応できるわけです。
今回沖縄旅行で2つのツアーを申し込みましたが、現システムの悪さを踏まえてもリピートはありません。
IT知識向上と最新情報のブラッシュアップ、マーケティングを再度見直してください。
上記理由と体験から、ツアー申し込みよりも個別オプションを自分で手配した方が不満回避になると思いました。
Dear Gagaga,
Thank you for participating in the tour. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced. We will ensure that the guidelines for the water buffalo cart are shared more thoroughly.
We also apologize for the shortcomings in the shuttle bus information. We will strive to review and improve to prevent such issues in the future.
Regarding the phone call the day before, we understand that it can be difficult for some to check emails, and there are also important matters that require confirmation, so we appreciate your understanding as we utilize phone calls as a means of communication.
We will take your feedback into consideration and, as a team, we will work to tighten our approach and consider simplifying our communications so that as many people as possible can enjoy their travels with a smile. Thank you for your valuable input.

The day after Okinawa entered the rainy season, I went to Ishigaki Island, and the next morning, a hotel shuttle picked me up to join a tour. The boat to Iriomote Island was quite rocky due to strong winds, which was a bit scary. I had imagined the mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island to be like a jungle, so I was a little disappointed that the river was wide. However, it was a fun tour as I finally got to ride a water buffalo cart, which I had been looking forward to.
丁度、沖縄が梅雨入りした次の日に
石垣島に行き、翌日朝にホテルに迎えが来て
ツアーに参加しました。
西表島までの船は、強風の影響で、かなり揺れて
少し怖かったです。
西表島のマングローブ遊覧は、勝手にジャングルみたいな所と
思っていたので、川幅が広くてちょっと、私的には残念
でも、念願の水牛車に乗れて楽しいツアーでした。
