The weather was very nice, and I was able to enjoy all the spots. I had lunch a bit early and didn't feel very hungry, so it felt like I was forcing myself to eat. It would have been better to have lunch after visiting a few more places. Since there were only a few participants, the bus was spacious, which was nice. However, it was disappointing that the alcohol disinfectant prepared for infection prevention wasn't used properly, which made me a bit uneasy.
とても良い天気ですべてのスポットで満喫できました。少し昼食時間が
早めであまりお腹がすいていなかったので無理に食べた感じでした。
もう少し回ってからの昼食の方がよいですね。
参加者が少人数だったのはバスの中もゆったりとしていてよかったです。
ただ感染症予防策に準備していたアルコール消毒液がきちんと使われておらず
少し不安材料となったのが残念です。

Since it was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I chose this city tour because I wasn't using a rental car, it was just right for spending time until my flight on the last day, and I could get off at the airport along the way. The weather wasn't great, but it rained while we were on the bus and cleared up during the sightseeing, so it didn't hinder our visits. As for lunch, there were only ten people at the lunch venue, so I would have appreciated it if the hot food could have been served a bit later. Regarding infection control measures, I think they were thorough, including wearing masks and ensuring disinfection when getting on the bus.
初めての石垣島旅行であったこと、レンタカーを使用していなかったこと、最終日のフライトまでの時間を過ごすのに丁度良かったこと、空港で途中下車が可能であったことから、この市内観光を選びました。お天気は良くなかったのですが、バス移動中は雨で、見学中は雨が上がるという感じでしたので、見学に支障はありませんでした。昼食については、昼食会場には10人しかいませんでしたので、温かい食べ物はもう少しギリギリに出してもらえるとありがたいと思いました。
感染症対策については、マスク着用であること、バスに乗る時は必ず消毒すること等、徹底されていたと思います。

The day of the experience, it rained on and off throughout the day. Still, the tour was very enjoyable and satisfying!
In the mangroves of Iriomote Island, the rain added to the atmosphere, and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature's formations!
On Yubu Island, we leisurely crossed the path connecting Iriomote Island and Yubu Island, which was filled with seawater, while being pulled by a water buffalo cart. Along the way, our guide played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a relaxed Okinawan atmosphere! We had lunch at a botanical garden and were able to taste Okinawan cuisine!
On the final stop at Taketomi Island, we rode in a water buffalo cart and leisurely explored the village while listening to the sanshin! We could also rent bicycles to visit famous spots around the island!
Before I knew it, it was already time to head back, and I felt like there was still so much more to experience!
*When traveling around each island, the distances between locations can be significant, so it might be more efficient to join a tour or similar activities.*
体験した日は、1日を通して雨が降ったり止んだりでした。
それでも、ツアーはとても楽しく満足のいく内容でした!
西表島のマングローブでは、雨の影響でとても雰囲気が出ており、自然が織りなす造形美に圧倒されます!
由布島では、海水が入ってくる西表島と由布島を結ぶ道を水牛に牛車を引っ張ってもらい島へとのんびり渡りました。
道中、ガイドの方が三線を弾いてくださり沖縄らしいのんびりとした時間を過ごせます!
植物園にてお昼を食べ、沖縄料理を味わう事が出来ます!
最後の竹富島でも、水牛車に乗り、三線を聴きながらのんびり集落を見て回れます!
自転車を借りて島内の有名どころも見て回る事が出来ます!
気づけばあっという間に帰る時間となりまだまだ足りないくらいでした!
※各島内を回る時は1箇所1箇所距離があるため、ツアーなどに参加して回った方が効率がよいかもしれません。

Overall, I enjoyed a relaxed plan. The water buffalo took their time resting and moving around, which added to the leisurely atmosphere and was just wonderful! The boat tour on the Nakagawa River was enjoyable with explanations about the mangroves. It was easy to understand and increased my awareness of the surroundings. Taketomi Island has a distinct Okinawan feel, and the streets are beautiful! Since we need to be mindful not to disturb the residents, we must pay attention to manners. It rained a little, but that added to the charm. However, I heard that when it's sunny, the sky reflects beautifully in the sea on the way to Yufu Island, so I want to try again. Since it's a subtropical climate, insect repellent is a must.
全体的にゆったりプランで楽しめました。水牛が気分で休んだり、動いたり、そういう所も含めてゆるやかでゆったりしていて、最高でした!
仲間川の遊覧は、マングローブの解説など楽しめました。わかりやすくて、目の付け所が増えました。竹富島は沖縄感があって、街並みがステキ!住人に迷惑をかけるので、マナーに気をつけないといけないです。少し雨が降っていましたが、それもまた趣あって良かったです。でも晴れたら由布島に渡るまでの海に空が映って綺麗とのことだったので、またリベンジしたいです。亜熱帯気候なので、虫除け必須です。

I wanted to see mangroves, ride a water buffalo cart, and enjoy the coast, and my requests were fulfilled. The mangrove cruise departed from the port and headed towards the estuary, which was nice. I didn't have high expectations for lunch on Yubu Island, but it used a lot of local ingredients and was better than I expected. On Taketomi Island, I wanted to go to Kaiji Beach, so I chose a rental bicycle course. I was satisfied to find star sand. The distance was longer than I thought, so renting a bicycle was the right choice, but I also wished I could have ridden a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. Next time, I will go for a water buffalo cart ride on Taketomi Island.
マングローブ見たいし、水牛車にも乗りたい、海岸も満喫したいという要望を満たせました。
マングローブクルーズが港から乗船して河口に向かいましたが、それも良かったです。
由布島の昼食はあまり期待していなかったのですが、島の食材を多用していて予想以上に良かったです。
竹富島ではカイジ浜まで行きたくてレンタサイクルコースにしました。星の砂も見つけられて満足でした。思ったより距離があったのでレンタサイクルで正解でしたが、竹富島でも水牛車乗りたかったなと思いました。
次は竹富島の水牛車乗りにいきます。

I think it would have been more enjoyable if it hadn't rained. If the lunch venue had been sunny, we could have gone out to the balcony and taken beautiful photos. At the shops we visited in the second half, you can drink various beverages. I recommend the dragon fruit. By the way, Momorin Temple and Gongendo, which we didn't get off at, are close to the ferry terminal, so you can walk there.
雨さえ降らなければ、もっと楽しかったと思います。昼食の会場は晴れていたら、バルコニーに出られるので素敵な写真が撮れます。後半に寄るショップでは色んなドリンクが飲めます。ドラゴンフルーツがお勧めです。因みに下車しない桃林寺と権現堂は離島ターミナルから近いので、歩いて行けます。

Taketomi Island had beautiful scenery with Ryukyu limestone stone walls and rows of fukugi trees. The roof shisa were interestingly shaped, different from those on the main island. I was surprised when the water buffalo cart behind me got closer. The weather wasn't very good during the Ishigaki Island tour, which diminished the beauty of Kabira Bay, but I enjoyed the glass-bottom boat as there were plenty of fish. Since swimming is not allowed in Kabira Bay, there are many fish present.

I thought the price was a bit high when I made the reservation, but it was the best day experience. The mangrove tour in Iriomote Island is something you can't really experience on the mainland. Even in Okinawa, the sea in the early winter morning requires a coat. Yubu Island is entirely a botanical garden with many plants I've never seen before. Unfortunately, the lunch was not good. The water buffalo experience was also fun. Taketomi Island felt like a whole different world. I was very satisfied.
価格がちょっと高いなと思って予約をしましたが,最高の1日体験でした。西表島のマングローブ遊覧はなかなか本土では体験できません。沖縄と言えど,真冬の早朝の海はコートが必要です。由布島は島全体が植物園で観たことない植物がたくさんでした。残念なのは昼食がまずかったです。水牛も楽しかったです。竹富島は小さな島全体が別世界でした。とても満足しました。

On the last day, it's convenient to use until the flight time. Kabira Bay is amazing. You can see the clear underwater world from the glass-bottom boat. The coral reefs and tropical fish are right there. The sandy beach is pure white, and there is no typical ocean smell of salt. It feels like a lake. If there are no tourists, it's a relaxing place where time seems to stand still.
最終日,飛行機の時間までの利用に便利です。川平湾が最高です。グラスボートで透き通った海中が見えます。サンゴ礁と熱帯魚がまじかです。砂浜は真っ白で,一般の海独特の潮の匂いはしません。湖みたいです。観光客が居なければ,時が止まったみたいにのんびりしたところです。

While the tour price felt a bit on the higher side, I decided to sign up since I was in Okinawa and wanted to experience not just the urban areas like Naha (Kokusai Street) but also the natural beauty of the outer islands and ride a water buffalo.
On the day of the tour, I received a briefing at the ferry terminal in Ishigaki Island, and we were given stickers to help the local guides identify our groups. The explanation was thorough, and they had taken measures for infection prevention, making the process feel systematic and efficient as they smoothly managed the participants.
We set sail from Ishigaki Port towards Iriomote Island. There were moments when we were rocked by large waves, but I thought this was the essence of a nature experience. Upon arriving at Iriomote Island, we met the local guides for our respective courses and boarded the boat for my chosen course. We received explanations about the types of mangroves, their formation, and the birds we encountered along the way, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in nature.
After the cruise, we boarded a bus to the starting point for the water buffalo ride. During the bus ride, the driver provided a local guide while driving diligently. That simplicity added to the feeling of being on an outer island, which was nice. At the starting point for the water buffalo cart, there were about seven or eight water buffalo waiting, and we divided into groups to board. During the ride to Yubu Island, a local person sang Yaeyama folk songs, and I felt relaxed, swaying gently on the water buffalo.
On Yubu Island, we had free time and ate our bento at a designated cafeteria. Walking around Yubu Island, I was surrounded by nature, but there were few people, and the exhibits felt a bit disorganized. While it might be nice to experience nature in a more natural state, the island felt a bit lonely.
After riding the water buffalo cart back to Iriomote Island, we took a bus to the port where our return high-speed boat was waiting. On the way back, we stopped by Taketomi Island. I chose the course with the water buffalo and rental bicycles. I enjoyed a leisurely ride through the town on the water buffalo cart, feeling the charm of the outer island homes.
Regarding the rental bicycles, we had limited time because we had to catch an earlier high-speed boat back to Ishigaki Island, but I was still able to visit Kondoi Beach and find star-shaped sand. I appreciated the freedom to explore.
Overall, I was able to experience a variety of activities in one day and truly feel the atmosphere of the outer islands. It was great.
ツアーの値段的には、少し高めかなを思いつつ、せっかく沖縄に来たのだから、那覇などの市街地(国際通り)だけでなく、離島の自然に触れたい、水牛にも乗りたいと思い申し込みました。
当日は、石垣島のフェリーターミナルの受付で事前の説明を受け、参加グループごとに現地案内人が見分けるためのシールなどももらいました。説明は丁寧で、感染防止対策も取られ、システマチックになっている感じで効率的に段取り良く参加者を次々にさばいていました。
石垣島の港から西表島に向けて出港しました。途中、大きな波にゆられる場面もありましたが、これぞ、自然体験の醍醐味と思いました。西表島に着くと、それぞれのコースの現地案内人がいたので、自分が選んだコースの船に乗り込みました。マングローブの種類や成り立ち、途中で出会えた鳥などの説明も受け、自然を体全体で感じることが出来ました。
クルーズを終えると、バスに乗車し、水牛の出発地点まで行きました。バス移動の途中、運転手さんが一生懸命に運転しながら現地ガイドをしてくれました。その素朴さも、離島に来た感じがして良かったです。水牛車の出発地点では、7、8頭の水牛が待機しており、グループに分かれて乗り込みました。由布島までの移動中、現地の方が八重山の民謡を歌ってくれて、のんびり水牛に揺られて、ゆったりとした気分になれました。
由布島では、自由行動で、適宜、指定された食堂でお弁当を食べました。
由布島散策は、自然いっぱいの中で歩けましたが、人も少なく、展示物なども少し雑然としており、自然に近い形といえば良いかもしれませんが、少し寂しい感じがする島でした。
水牛車に乗って、西表島に戻り、バスで、帰りの高速船が待つ港まで移動しました。帰りの高速艇で、途中、竹富島に立ち寄りました。水牛とレンタサイクルのコースを選択しました。町の中を水牛車に揺られてのんびり歩きました。町の家々も離島らしさを感じることが出来ました。
レンタサイクルに関しては、石垣島までの帰りの高速艇の時間を早くしていたため、あまり時間が取れませんでしたが、それでも、コンドイ浜に行ったりして星の形の砂を見つけたりできました。自由に行動できたのは良かったと思います。
1日、様々な体験をすることができ、離島の雰囲気を感じることができました。良かったです。

Even on a cloudy day, we were told we could see the beautiful colors of the sea at Kabira Bay, and indeed, despite the clouds, we were able to see the emerald green sea. Although the time spent at each location was not long, it felt like we were shown the highlights at a good pace. Thank you very much.

During my previous visits to Ishigaki Island, I mostly enjoyed the underwater activities, so this experience was refreshing. I was able to truly appreciate the tourism catchphrase that Ishigaki Island also has amazing mountains. On the day of my visit, the weather was occasionally rainy, but the view from the observation deck was great, and I could clearly see the transparency of the surrounding sea from the land. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I gained a lot from the experience. It was also nice to have a delicious lunch filled with local specialties at a scenic spot. The only downside was that due to the schedule of the flights and boats, I couldn't spend much time at the sightseeing locations.
これまでの石垣島訪問では、海の中を楽しむほとんどだったので、新鮮でした。そして、石垣島は山もすごい、という観光キャッチフレーズを実感できました。当日は、時折小雨も降る天気でしたが、展望台からも見晴らしは良く、陸上からも石垣島周辺の海の透明度の良さがよくわかりました。ガイドの説明もわかりやすく、得るものがたくさんありました。見晴らしの良い場所で、石垣島の美味しいもの満載の昼食をいただけたのもよかったです。残念だったのは、飛行機や船の時間の都合で、見学地でゆっくりできなかったことです。
Thank you very much for participating in the regular sightseeing tour with Toei Bus. We also sincerely appreciate your valuable feedback. On the 13th, it was drizzling and the weather in Ishigaki Island was quite chilly. Each sightseeing spot was a wonderful place, but it is unfortunate that the sightseeing time was rather limited.

I used this service for a sister trip in our 60s and 70s. Since it was our first time in Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island, we chose this option because it took us to key spots and included lunch and hotel transfers. The mangrove scenery, which I had only seen in photos, was beautiful, and I finally got to ride a water buffalo cart. The bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island was also entertaining, making the experience very enjoyable. The lunch, a bento box from Yubu Island, included local ingredients like ancient rice from Iriomote Island, sea grapes, and mimiga (pork ear), with explanations of each ingredient that made it easy to understand. The tour was compact and well-organized, allowing us to enjoy it without feeling rushed, making it a friendly experience for beginners to the Yaeyama Islands.
60〜70代の姉妹旅行で利用しました。
石垣島・西表島は初めてなので、要所要所に連れて行っていただけ、昼食とホテル送迎も付いているこちらを選択。

I participated in the 14:30 session. (I mistakenly registered my 12-year-old elementary school child as an adult, which caused some trouble, but they promptly took care of the refund. I apologize for the inconvenience.)
We arrived at Taketomi Island after a 15-minute ferry ride. Upon arrival, a shuttle bus was waiting for us. After about a 5-minute ride, we reached the water buffalo cart boarding area. Among the many water buffaloes, Yui-kun, the largest one, pulled the cart while a staff member sang accompanied by the sanshin. It instantly put us in the Okinawa mood. It was also amusing to see Yui-kun's bathroom break up close at just the right moment. Finally, we took a photo with Yui-kun, and we received a commemorative certificate with a photo for free✨. As a keepsake, I also purchased a large photo for ¥1,500. It was very convenient to be able to download the data via a QR code♫.
After that, we had free time, but we had to return to Ishigaki Port on the 17:00 ferry, so it was quite hectic. After parting ways with the water buffalo cart around 15:30, we decided to rent bicycles to head to Kondoi Beach. Those who used the water buffalo cart could rent a bicycle for ¥1,000 instead of the usual ¥2,000, but since we only had until 16:30 to return it, it felt a bit pricey. We rented two child-carrying bicycles, one regular bicycle, and one children's bicycle for a total of ¥4,000… and since they weren't electric bikes, it was tough, but it turned out to be good exercise.
14:30の回に参加しました。
(12歳の小学生を大人で申し込んでしまったために、ご面倒をかけてしまいましたが、すぐに返金措置をとってくださいました。お手数をおかけして申し訳ありませんでした)
フェリーに乗って15分で竹富島到着。着くと送迎バスが待機しています。乗車して5分ほどで水牛車乗り場に到着。たくさんいる水牛の中、1番の巨体というゆいくんが車を引っ張ってくれて、お兄さんが三線の演奏で歌を歌ってくれました。一気に沖縄気分に。タイミングよく?ゆいくんの排泄の様子が間近で見られたのも面白かったです。最後はゆいくんと写真撮影。写真入りの記念証が無料でいただけました✨思い出に、¥1,500で大判の写真も購入。QRコードからデータのダウンロードができるのがとてもありがたかったです♫
その後は自由時間なのですが、17:00のフェリーで石垣港に戻らなければならず、結構バタバタでした。
15:30頃に水牛車と別れたあと、自転車を借りてコンドイ浜を目指すことにしていました。
水牛車利用の人は自転車を1台¥2,000のところ¥1,000で借りられますが、16:30返却で1時間しかないので割高に感じました。子供のせ自転車2台と普通自転車1台、子供用自転車1台で¥4,000…しかも電動自転車ではないのでしんどかったですが、よい運動にはなりました

It was very good. I was able to make a reservation the day before, and I was able to plan for the next day. The mangrove tour in Iriomote, the water buffalo cart, and Yufu Island were all amazing experiences. Also, the timing was perfect.
I highly recommend it!
とても良かったです。前日予約ができ、翌日の予定ができました。西表のマングローブ遊覧、水牛車、由布島、感動の連続でした。また、時間的にもサイコーでした。((*´◒`*))
おすすめです‼️

I thought the water buffalo cart tour would be a relaxing and leisurely experience, but there were too many customers. We were crammed with 16 people in one cart. The organizers were also frustrated and angry with customers who acted out of line. While the customers were at fault, the atmosphere was also unpleasant.
Aside from the water buffalo cart tour, I enjoyed everything else without any issues.
水牛車観光は、のんびり揺られて、ゆったり体験出来ると思ってましたが、お客さん多すぎ。水牛車1台に16人座らせてビチビチです。
企画する側の人間も、勝手な行動取る客にイライラしてたり怒ったり。
客も悪いが雰囲気も悪いです。
水牛車観光以外はとくに問題なく楽しめました。
Thank you for participating this time.
We appreciate your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for any unpleasant experience during your trip. We will share this information with our local staff and strive to ensure that such attitudes do not occur in the future.

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island without any waste. When I heard about the three islands, I was worried it might feel rushed or that I should take my time, but it was more than enough! It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!
The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island had the best explanations from the guide. The descriptions of the mangroves and animals felt like a real jungle cruise. They also timed the photo opportunities perfectly, and I was very satisfied!
The water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island was the highlight! I was moved by the trust between the guide and the buffalo! From explanations about the buffalo to singing... I wanted to ride even more! Everyone clapped along, creating a sense of unity, and it was truly fun!
I also rode the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. While touring the village, I enjoyed hearing about the buffalo and Taketomi Island, and they even sang island songs! Mabuyakun (the buffalo) remembered the route and moved on his own without needing directions, which impressed me! I became a fan and even bought a postcard of Mabuyakun. Although it rained, it added a certain charm to the experience.
The rental bicycles got soaked due to the rain... I regretted not opting for the bus tour. If it had been sunny, I would have had enough time to circle the island! Since it was raining, I wrote and sent a letter at the post office. There was writing space, and they even had original stamps prepared! The Taketomi Island limited postmark was cute!
The hotel pick-up and drop-off made things easy. The explanations on the way were clear and reassuring. When I inquired at the counter about snorkeling with manta rays on the way back, even though Dream Tour doesn’t offer that, they kindly searched for pamphlets from other tour companies and made phone inquiries for me, which almost brought me to tears. I was able to successfully book the manta ray tour. Thank you so much!
If I ever go back to Ishigaki Island, I will definitely use Dream Tour again! Thank you for such wonderful memories!
無駄なく効率よく西表島、由布島、竹富島を回れました。3島と聞いて、慌ただしいかな、もっとゆっくり回ったほうがいいかな、と不安でしたが、十分でした!大満足のツアーです!
西表島のマングローブツアーではお姉さんの解説が最高でした。マングローブや動物の説明が、リアルジャングルクルーズでした。写真撮影のタイミングもとってくださり、大満足です!
由布島への水牛車が一番最高でした!お兄さんと牛さんとの信頼関係に感動です!水牛の説明から歌まで…もっと乗りたいくらいでした!みんなで手拍子して一体感があって本当に楽しかったです!
竹富島でも水牛車に乗りました。集落を回りながら、水牛や竹富島のことについて聞けたり、また島の歌を歌ってくれたり楽しかったです!マブヤーくん(水牛さん)は、回るコースを覚えていて、指示を出されなくても自分で進んでいて感心しました!ファンになったので、マブヤーくんのポストカードまで買ってしまいました。あいにくの雨でしたが、それはそれで風情があってよかったです。
レンタルサイクルは雨のためびしょ濡れ…バス観光にすればよかったと後悔しました。晴れていたら島一周できるくらいの時間の余裕がありました!雨でしたので、郵便局でお手紙を書いて出しました。書くスペースもあり、オリジナルのスタンプまで用意してくださっていました!竹富島限定の消印かわいかったです!
行きと帰りは、ホテルへの送迎があって楽でした。行きの説明もわかりやすくて安心しました。帰りにカウンターでマンタとシュノーケリングがしたいと相談したら、ドリームツアーでは取り扱いがないのに、違うツアー会社のパンフレットを探してくださったり、電話で問い合わせしてくださったりと、親切すぎて泣きそうでした。無事にマンタツアー予約できました。本当にありがとうございました!
また石垣島へ行くことがあったら、ドリームツアーさんを絶対使います!本当に素敵な思い出をありがとうございました!

I had reserved the glass-bottom boat and water buffalo cart course on Taketomi Island, but on the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I received a call saying that it had been changed to a bus tour due to issues with the glass-bottom boat engine, which was disappointing... I really wanted to see the beautiful underwater scenery.
The bus tour took us from Hoshinosuna Beach to the next beach, and it was a short ride from the window, so I would have liked to get off.
Before I knew it, it was over, and we boarded the water buffalo cart. The water buffalo, named "Mabuya," was quite laid-back, taking breaks and even urinating along the way (laughs), but it was a very smart buffalo that carefully considered the turning radius and made wide turns. The guide's sanshin playing was also great.
竹富島グラスボート&水牛車のコースを予約していましたが、石垣島到着日お電話を頂きグラスボートのエンジンでバス観光に変更となってしまい、残念…綺麗な水中を見たかったんですが。
バス観光は星の砂海岸〜次のビーチへ、ここは車窓で短時間でイイので下車したかったです。
アッと言う間に終わり水牛車乗車。
"まぶやー”と言うマイペースな水牛さんで、途中休暇したり、放尿したり(笑)でもちゃんと内輪差を考慮して大回りするとても賢い水牛さんでした。
ガイドさんの三線も良かったです。

This is a half-day tour around the attractions of Ishigaki Island. Although it says "a complete circuit," it does not go to the northern tip of the island. However, it covers key spots such as the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay and the Tamatorizaki Observatory, and lunch is included. Considering the travel time to the airport in the afternoon and making effective use of the morning, this is a convenient tour that operates daily.
石垣島の名所を半日で回るツアーです。
「一周」とありますが、島の北端までは行きません。ただ、川平湾のグラスボートや玉取崎展望台など要所は押さえており、昼食も付いています。
午後の飛行機に合わせ空港までの移動時間と午前の時間の有効活用を考えると毎日催行しているので便利なツアーです。

I had a wonderful day exploring the three islands: Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi. Each island offered unique experiences. The water buffalo cart ride to Yufu Island was particularly impressive.
