We participated as a family of five. We joined a tour that included round-trip tickets, a glass-bottom boat, and a water buffalo cart, which was a great deal.
It took about 10 minutes by boat to reach Taketomi Island, and we arrived comfortably with hardly any rocking. We first boarded the glass-bottom boat, and the guide's explanations were very thorough and easy to understand. I really felt their customer-first philosophy.
The water buffalo cart tour was also satisfying, with the guide providing clear and detailed explanations. Riding the water buffalo cart while listening to Okinawan folk songs as we explored the island truly made me feel the essence of Ryukyu! It was a lot of fun! ♪
家族5人で参加しました。乗船券往復・グラスボート・水牛車がせっとになったツアーでお得なので参加しました。
竹富島まで船で10分程度、ほぼ揺れもなく快適に過ごし到着です。最初にグラスボートの乗りましたがガイドさんの説明が非常に丁寧でわかりやすかったです。お客様第一主義を非常に感じました。
水牛車ツアーもガイドの方が丁寧で分かりやすい説明で満足しました。水牛車に乗りながらの沖縄民謡を聴きながら島内を回りこれぞ琉球!を感じられとても楽しかったです♪

I had never been to a remote island, so I joined a tour.
Since we took the boat and bus multiple times, my elementary school-aged child was getting a bit bored!
I wanted to go at least once, so I'm satisfied with this. Next time, I might just go to Taketomi Island.
離島に行ったことがなかったのでツアーで参加。
船、バスに何回も乗ったので、小学生の子供は飽き気味!

In the morning, the bus came to pick us up at the hotel, and then we boarded the boat. When we arrived, the next mode of transportation was already waiting, so it was difficult to buy souvenirs, and we had to hurry to the restroom.

I participated in this tour thinking it would allow me to efficiently explore Ishigaki Island for the first time. Although there was no tour guide, there were staff members at each destination, so I didn't get lost.
There were parts that felt a bit like a conveyor belt (it might not be suitable for those who want to savor one place thoroughly), but I think it allows you to cover a limited amount of time very efficiently. During the bus rides and on the water buffalo cart, there were explanations about the island and the buffalo, which were very easy to understand.
It suddenly rained heavily in the mangroves, but that became a good memory. On Yubu Island, we had lunch in the botanical garden and had about 30 minutes of free time for sightseeing. The lunch might be divisive in terms of taste, but I thought it was not bad, featuring local cuisine (perhaps because I didn't have high expectations after reading reviews).
On Taketomi Island, I chose the water buffalo cart + bus tour. I also rode a water buffalo cart on Yubu Island, but it had a different charm. We toured around the traditional houses on Taketomi Island for about 15 minutes while receiving explanations about the shisa and the architecture.
I learned a bit about each island, so when I come back to Ishigaki Island, I feel like I’ll be able to plan my own trips to the surrounding islands. My middle school and elementary school children seemed to enjoy the water buffalo cart the most!
初めての石垣島で、効率良く島巡りができるかと思い参加しました。添乗員はいませんが、船、バス、水牛車等、行く先々にスタッフがいるので迷うことはありません。
流れ作業のように感じる部分はありましたが(1箇所をじっくり堪能したい人には向かないかも)、限られた時間をとても効率良く回れると思います。バス移動時や、水牛車では、島の説明や牛の説明等があり、とても分かりやすかったです。
マングローブでは突然大雨になりましたがそれも良い思い出。
由布島では植物園内でお弁当を食べ、残りの時間30分程度の自由観光がありました。お弁当は好き嫌いが別れると思いますが、郷土料理的なおかずで、悪くはないと思います(口コミを見て余り期待していなかったからかもしれませんが)。
竹富島では水牛車+バス観光を選びました。由布島でも水牛車にのりましたが、また違った良さがあります。竹富島の民家の中をシーサーの説明や家の作り等説明をしてもらいながら15分程度回りました。
各島々のことが少し分かったので、また石垣島に来た時には自分達で離島へのプランニングができそうです。
中学生と小学生の子供たちは、何より水牛車が楽しかったようです!

The untouched nature of Iriomote Island was just as I had imagined. I was moved to see that such nature still exists in Japan. Riding the ox cart on Yufu Island and crossing the sea allowed me to feel the leisurely flow of time on a southern island.

The highlight was the male guide for the morning bus tour, who was easy to understand and kept things interesting. Also, the free time at Kabira Bay before lunch is highly recommended for a glass-bottom boat cruise. With the special fare for this tour bus (850 yen), I was able to see many corals and colorful fish underwater. The view from the Tamatorizaki Observatory, the last stop on the island, is something you can never get tired of. The afternoon water buffalo cart ride at Takeshima is relaxing, but it's a 30-minute experience where you appreciate the hardworking buffalo.
ハイライトは、午前中のバス観光のガイドさん(男性)のガイド
わかり易く飽きさせません。
それと昼食前の川平湾のフリータイムは、グラスボートでの川平湾クルーズがおすすめです。この観光バスの特別料金(850円)で海中のサンゴや、カラフルなお魚が沢山見れました。
島内最後の玉取崎展望台の景色はいつまでも見飽きません。

The review was indeed good as mentioned. The seats on the left side are recommended as they face the sea. You need to check in at the bus terminal 15 minutes before departure.
The male guide (estimated age 60-65) and the staff from To Transport were very pleasant, making me think it's a good company.
The guide's storytelling was engaging and entertaining, and he was skilled at playing the sanshin and singing island songs. The travel time was short, so it wasn't tiring. It's also convenient that on the morning trip, you can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.
Although the weather forecast predicted sunny weather, it rained at Kabira Bay, which was disappointing, but the glass boat experience was still enjoyable. For lunch, I had a hearty hamburger set at Auntie Poza's diner with a nice view. However, the taste was just okay. Normally, a meal here costs 1,100 yen, so the sightseeing bus ticket is effectively 3,500 yen. The price and content are reasonable.
こちらの口コミ通り良い内容でした。座席は左が海側なのでおすすめ。
15分前までにバスターミナルで受付します。
名ガイドの男性(推定60-65歳)をはじめ、東運輸の受付の方もとても感じが良く、いい会社なんだと思います。
ガイドさんの話は名調子で面白く、三線も島唄も上手。移動時間も短く疲れません。午前の便のみ帰りは空港で降ろしてもらえるのも便利。
天気予報は晴れなのに川平湾は雨も降り残念でしたがグラスボートはそこそこ楽しめました。
昼食は眺めのよいポーザーおばさんの食堂のハンバーグ定食でボリュームも十分。ただし味はイマイチ。
普通にここで食事すると1100円のメニューなので、観光バスは実質3500円。納得の価格と内容です。

I participated in a beach day at Kondoi Beach. Since it was an afternoon tour, the return ferry was at 4 or 5 PM, so we only had a little over an hour at the beach, but it was nice to experience the sandy shore. The sun was strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a mini tent or something similar, even though it adds to your luggage.

The entire itinerary was efficient. It was great to understand the charm of Mishima in a compact way. The water buffalo was cute, and the children were very happy. It was a good experience. Everything was excellent except for the response from the man at the rental bicycle reception.
Regarding the rental bicycles, there were many participants, and I couldn't go to the front due to taking care of the children. Perhaps there was a timing issue with handing out tickets that I missed. When it was my turn, I couldn't present my ticket at their timing, and I was asked for the ticket in a frustrated manner. I was also dazed from the heat, so I didn't feel like arguing, but later I felt anger rising.
If that man, who didn't seem like a local at all, hadn't been there, my overall rating would have been a 5. Because of that man, my overall rating is a 3.

I participated in a tour because I wanted to ride a water buffalo. In Iriomote Island, I took a mangrove cruise. On Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo across about 300 meters of sea, enjoyed a lunch bento inside, and appreciated the bougainvillea and butterfly garden. On Taketomi Island, I also rode a water buffalo and was guided slowly and leisurely around the town. The transportation was easy, whether by boat, bus, or water buffalo. During the water buffalo ride, it was nice that the guide sang with a sanshin. This tour, surrounded by subtropical nature, is highly recommended for a full day plan as it allows you to thoroughly enjoy the islands at a relaxed pace.

I participated with my parents and a friend. We rode on a water buffalo cart while listening to songs and explanations, enjoying views of local houses, shisa, and tropical flowers, which was very relaxing. The water buffalo cart was more crowded than I had imagined, so it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't see anything on the opposite side. It felt like a water buffalo cart traffic jam, but since it's a popular tourist attraction, it can't be helped. I was glad that we could choose the time for the boat, allowing us to visit Taketomi Island during our short stay in Ishigaki Island.
両親とツレとの4人参加。水牛車に乗って歌や解説を聴きながら民家とシーサーや南国の花を眺めることができ、のんびり癒されました。水牛車は想像していたより大人数が詰めて座るので反対側の外側は全く見えないのが少し残念でした。水牛車渋滞という感じでしたが、人気の観光なので仕方ないですね(^^)。船の時間を選べることができたので、石垣島の短い滞在時間に竹富島も観光できてよかったです。

There were multiple ships to board, and I had a hard time figuring it out, which made me late for the meeting time and caused inconvenience to everyone. The ship was unusually rocky (according to the captain), and I couldn't enjoy the sightseeing due to seasickness. It's a shame. I was hoping to see the Iriomote cat, but unfortunately, I didn't. The glass-bottom boat was very impressive.

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island. The weather was cloudy. The bus was scheduled to leave the hotel at 7:25 AM, so it arrived in front of the hotel by 7:20 AM. Unfortunately, other groups arrived around 7:35 AM, causing a delay in our departure.
Once we arrived at the terminal, we divided into groups for explanations. It felt like a small island, Yufu Island, was attached to Iriomote Island. We transferred to a boat immediately after arriving at Iriomote Island for a mangrove cruise, then took a bus to Yufu. Once there, we took a cart ride, followed by lunch (40 minutes) and a short walk (30 minutes). However, during the walk, I found myself rushing back to the meeting point after just going for ice cream!
From Yufu, we took the cart back, then a bus, and immediately transferred to a boat to Taketomi. We only arrived at Iriomote Island by bus.
Upon arriving at Taketomi Island, we quickly went on a glass-bottom boat (30 minutes). Once on land, we took a small bus to the cart boarding area, where our names were called for the cart ride. We took a light tour around Taketomi, and once that was done, we immediately took a small bus to the port and then a boat back to Ishigaki.
This was the general itinerary. It felt like we were constantly changing modes of transportation and just sitting around (laughs). Honestly, I found Taketomi Island quite unsatisfactory, and since there was no free time, I wouldn't recommend the glass-bottom boat and cart ride plan. There simply wasn't enough time for both. I would have preferred a later return boat, but the schedule was fixed.
What I liked: It provided an opportunity to visit places I wouldn't normally go to. I was able to see the mangrove forest.
What I wouldn't recommend: The glass-bottom boat at Taketomi Island. The shallow and deep areas alternated quite a bit, so seeing the fish felt underwhelming, like, "Is that it?" (Since it takes 30 minutes to go out and come back.)

This is my second time in Ishigaki Island. Last time I rented a car, but this time I didn't, so I joined a half-day island tour. Since the forecast predicted rain on the day of my reservation, I asked the bus company to change it, and I was glad to receive a positive response from a very friendly employee. The guide provided detailed explanations about the island, which helped me understand Ishigaki Island better, and the lunch was delicious. It was a satisfying tour.

I participated in the morning tour. I was looking forward to the guide being the famous old man mentioned, but I was a bit disappointed when it turned out to be a female guide. However, she was very articulate and I was able to enjoy exploring Ishigaki Island.
At Kabira Bay, I took a glass-bottom boat for an additional fee. Although the sea was murky due to low tide, I was able to see sea turtles!
The view from Tamatorizaki Observatory, where you can see both the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, was truly wonderful.
If your flight from Ishigaki Airport is around 3 PM, this tour might be just right for you. You can quickly circle Ishigaki Island, enjoy lunch, and be dropped off at the airport at the end, making it a great value for the price.

午前は名物おじさんのガイドという記載があり、楽しみにしていましたが、女性のガイドさんでちょっとがっかり。

There are various optional tours available on Taketomi Island, but the reason I chose VELTRA is that they offer round-trip transportation to and from the hotel. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride, bicycle rental, and the chance to enjoy Taketomi Island. Especially the water buffalo cart ride was nice because it was just my husband and me along with one other couple, allowing us to ride comfortably. The person who provided the round-trip transportation to the hotel was very friendly and kind, and since we were the only ones on the way there, they shared a lot of local information, which was enjoyable. I'm glad I used their service.
竹富島でのオプショナルツアーはいろいろな旅行会社でありますが、私がVELTRAさんを選んだ理由は、ホテルまでの往復送迎があるからです。ツアー内容は、水牛車・レンタサイクルと竹富島を楽しむことが出来ました。特に水牛車は、たまたま私達夫婦ともう一組だけでしたので、ゆったりと乗車することが出来ました。ホテルまで往復送迎してくださった方はとても楽しく親切で、往路は私達だけでしたので、地元情報などいろいろ教えていただき楽しかったです。利用して良かったです。

The main focus of this trip was to take photos of the kids on Taketomi Island, so we chose a tour that included a bus sightseeing option. It seemed like my daughter was really into searching for star sand. The bus driver was very kind to the children and had a great demeanor. However, the tour itself felt a bit tight on time. We only got off the bus to look for star sand, and the rest was from the window, so we couldn't take many photos. Later, we hurriedly rented bicycles to explore. Since it's a small island, it might have been better to start with a rental cycle course. That's my lack of research...
The water buffalo cart was a huge hit with the family! We could leisurely stroll through the stone-built village just as I had imagined, and the guide's explanations included some humor, which kept the kids engaged. I felt that next time, I would like to stay overnight on Taketomi Island!
今回の旅行のメインが竹富島で子供達の写真を撮る事だったので、バス観光付きのツアーを選択。娘のメインは星の砂探しだったようで夢中になってました。バス観光の運転手さんは子供達にも優しく接してくれてとても感じのよい方でした。ただ、ツアー自体はちょっと時間がタイトかな?下車するのも星の砂だけであとは車窓からなので写真を撮る事は出来ず、後から慌てて自転車借りて走り回りました。小さい島なので最初からレンタルサイクルのコースにすればよかったかも。私のリサーチ不足ですね。。。
水牛車は家族も大喜び!イメージしてた通りの石垣造りの集落をのんびりと散策できるし、ガイドさんの説明も所々に笑いを挟み子供達も退屈しない内容でした。次回は竹富島でゆっくり一泊したいなぁと感じました!!

The guide was talented, and it was an enjoyable tour. The scenery at Kabira Bay was beautiful, and seeing the underwater world from the glass-bottom boat was fascinating. The gradient of blue from the coral reefs was stunning from the Tamatorizaki Observatory. The meals were delicious. However, it was a bit busy, and it was disappointing that there were some places we could only see from the car window.
ガイドさんが芸達者で、楽しいツアーでした。
川平湾は風景がきれいで、グラスボートで見る海中も興味深かった。
玉取崎展望台からは、珊瑚礁による青のグラデーションがきれいだった。
食事も美味しかった。
ただし、少し忙しく、車窓から見るだけの場所もあったことが残念だった。

I have traveled with my mother many times, but this was her first visit to Ishigaki Island, so we participated in this tour. It was very helpful because organizing a schedule on our own with ferry transfers and the water buffalo cart has its limits! The transportation was a lot of fun, with ferries and buses on Iriomote Island, and the cruise was just great.
At the end, on Taketomi Island, she was very happy and moved by the beautiful blue sea. Thank you very much!
母娘旅は何度も行きましたが、石垣島は母は初めてと言う事でこちらのツアーに参加しました。フェリーの乗り継ぎや水牛車など個人でスケジュールを組むのは限界があるのでとても助かりました!移動はフェリーと西表島ではバスにクルーズにとにかく楽しかったです。
最後の竹富島では海の青さに感動したととても喜んでくれました
本当にありがとうございました!
