All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I participated a few years ago, and this is my second time. The guide's pleasant voice was nice. There was no sanshin and singing this time, but the explanations about the sights were thorough. During the first visit, I was able to see the primeval forest, but this time it was just from the car window. For lunch, the main dish, hamburger? or tsukune?, was too sticky for my taste, but the simmered dishes were very delicious. The portion of white rice was small and left me wanting more.

数年前に参加して今回は2回目です。
ガイドさんの心地よい声がよかったです。三線と歌は今回はなかったですがその分、観光の説明が丁寧でした。
１回目は原生林も見学出来たのですが今回は車窓でした。
昼食はメインのハンバーグ？つくね？がねっとりしてて口に合いませんでしたが煮物はとても美味しかったです。白米の量が少なく物足りなかったです。

As someone without a car, the unlimited ride pass was very helpful! I only had to show the proof of purchase on my smartphone once, and the driver exchanged it for a paper ticket, so after that, it was easy to just show that.

車がない身としては乗り放題パスはありがたかったです！
一度だけスマホで購入証明を見せれば、運転手さんが紙のチケットと引き換えてくれたので、以降はそれを見せるだけで簡単でした。

During the journey, you shared little stories and taught us various things about Ishigaki Island, which was enjoyable! It was also great that you played the sanshin for us.

移動のときも小話をしてくださって、石垣島のことをいろいろ教えてください、楽しかったです！三線を引いてくださるのも良かったです。

妻と私は素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました！私にとって初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても簡単で楽しかったです。

特に、ガイドのディエゴはイケメンで、すべてをとても簡単に説明してくれました。彼のおかげでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。そして、ディエゴの助けで海蛇を見ることができました。

このアクティビティを強くお勧めします。

追伸：イケメンのディエゴは運転中に石垣島の歴史を説明してくれました。それが土地を理解するのに役立ちました。

My wife and me could make awesome memory! It was my first snorkeling but it was so easy and a lot of fun.

Especially, our guide Diego, ikemen, explains everthing so easy. It help me to enjoy snorkeling. And, I could see a sea snake with Diego's help.

I strongly recommend this activity.

P. S. The ikeman explain Ishigaki's history while driving. It help me to understand the land.

I participated in a canoe tour at Kawahira Bay, which received three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. The weather was perfect, and I thoroughly enjoyed the emerald green sea and nature! I was also able to see the power spot, Heart Rock, and I made wonderful memories on Ishigaki Island. The guide, Hiro-san, shared many fun stories and recommended several great places to visit on Ishigaki Island. Next time, I want to try stand-up paddleboarding! Thank you!

ミシュラングリーンガイドで三ツ星を獲得した川平湾のカヌーツアーに参加しました。お天気にも恵まれて、エメラルドグリーンの海と自然を満喫しました！
パワースポットのハート岩も見る事ができて、石垣島で最高の思い出ができました〜
ガイドのHiro-sanのお話も楽しく、石垣島のオススメのお店もたくさん教えていただきました。
次回はSUP体験したいです！
ありがとうございました！

I participated in the Kayak Tour at Kabira Bay that departs in the afternoon. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the clear waters of Kabira Bay, but I was able to enjoy the tropical trees and coral rocks along the shore! The guide, Hiro, shared some fun anecdotes, and the water play time along the way was also enjoyable.

午後出発の川平湾カヌーツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの曇り空で、川平湾の透き通った水面を見ることはできませんでしたが、岸辺の南国の木々や珊瑚の岩を楽しむことができました！
ガイドのひろさんの小ネタや途中の水遊びタイムも楽しかったです。

Due to the ocean conditions, we changed to a half-day SUP cruise on the Miyara River on the day of our visit. Paddling slowly through the mangrove forest was an emotional experience, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of nature. Our guide Hina from PiPi was also very knowledgeable about nature, and learning about the fascinating ecology of the mangrove trees was truly educational!

海の状況から半日のSUP宮良川クルーズに当日に変更していただきました。ヒルギの森をゆっくりSUPで流していくだけで、大自然の美しさや静けさが感動的でした。PiPiのガイドのヒナさんも自然の知識が豊富で、ヒルギの木の不思議な生態などホントの勉強になりました！

I was hoping to do SUP at Kabira Bay, but due to the weather, we ended up canoeing. Canoeing was easy enough for elementary school students to paddle, so both adults and children could enjoy it. I was satisfied that we could go to an area behind Kabira Bay that is usually inaccessible. The guide was friendly and it was really great.

川平湾SUPを希望していましたが、
天候の影響でカヌーになりました。
カヌーは小学生でも簡単にパドルを操作できるので大人も子供も楽しむことができました。川平湾の裏側という通常では行けないエリアにも行くことができて満足です。
ガイドさんもフレンドリーでとても良かったです。

It was unfortunately rainy, but we enjoyed the glass boat and the kids were happy. It might be good to have some motion sickness medication.

The food might not have been suitable for kids.

Overall, it was good.

あいにくの雨でしたが　グラスボートは楽しめて子供も喜んでました。
少し酔い止めがあった方が良いかも

食事が子供向けではなかったかも

でも全体によかったです

Due to the weather, the snorkeling in the afternoon was moved to another beach. Safety first! It was a fantastic experience. We gathered at 1:30 PM at the red mailbox in the terminal. The guides from Adventure Pipi are all young, energetic, and speak English very well. I really liked it!

由于天气原因 风太大 把下午的浮潜换到了另一个沙滩 安全第一 非常棒的体验 13:30 在terminal的红色邮箱这里集合 adventure pipi的guide都很年轻 很有活力 会讲英语 很喜欢

I came to Ishigaki Island to see sea turtles. If I couldn't see them, I was thinking of going to the research institute on Kuroshima the next day. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a sea turtle. I arrived a bit early, so I would like to thank the staff who guided me to an earlier boat and the captain who helped me meet the sea turtle. Thank you very much.

石垣島に来たのはウミガメを見るためでした。もし見れなければ次の日に黒島の研究所に行こうと思っていました。
何とラーキーな事にウミガメと出会えました。
少し早めに着いたので、早い船に案内して下さったスタッフさん、
ウミガメに会わせてくれた船頭さん
有難うございました。

I was able to efficiently visit tourist spots in a limited time, and the guide's stories were educational. I participated in a glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay and was able to see coral and sea turtles! Fortunately, I also got to see a crested serpent eagle along the way, which made for a great memory. This time, Ishigaki Island was a port of call for the cruise ship. For those flying back, it's recommended to stop by the airport on the return day if you have an evening flight.

限られた時間で観光地を効率よく巡ることができ、また、ガイドさんのお話も勉強になりました。川平湾でグラスボトムボートに参加して、珊瑚や海亀を見ることができました！運良く道中でカンムリワシも見ることができて、よい思い出になりました。今回、石垣島はクルーズ船の寄港地でした。飛行機での人も帰りに空港に寄るので、夕方の便なら帰る日にもお勧めです。

The weather was great, and it was the best cruise. I was happy to see sea turtles and Nemo (clownfish). It's a must for sightseeing in Ishigaki Island!

天気も良く、最高のクルーズでした
ウミガメもニモ(クマノミ)も見られてよかったです
石垣島観光にはマストです！

The 5-day ticket was convenient because I could use it anywhere from my arrival at the airport to my return without worrying about payment. When I had free time, I was able to visit places that weren't on my itinerary, and I managed to make round trips to a hotel a bit away from the port without using a taxi.

５日間のチケットは、空港到着から帰りの空港までどこに行くにも支払を気にせず使えるので便利でした。時間が空いた時、予定に無かった場所に出かけたり、港から少し離れたホテルへの往復もタクシーを使わずに済みました。

The canoeing at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at Osaki were the best. I had booked SUP at Kabira Bay and a trip to the Phantom Island, but due to strong winds, the boat couldn't go out, so they offered an alternative. It turned out to be a great decision to go with their suggestion.

Both the Kabira Bay canoeing and Osaki snorkeling included GoPro filming, so I didn't have to worry about losing my own camera or smartphone. The conversations during the car ride about Ishigaki Island and recommended dining spots were also enjoyable and helpful for the trip.

最高の川平湾カヌーと大崎シュノーケリングでした。川平湾SUPと幻の島で予約していましたが、風が強くて船が出せず、代替提案。良い機会なので提案に乗ってみたところ、大正解でした。
川平湾カヌーも大崎シュノーケリングもGoProで撮影してくれるので、自分のカメラやスマホを紛失する心配もありませんでした。
石垣島についての説明やおすすめの食事処など、移動車中の会話も楽しく旅の助けとなりました

This bus tour is perfect for sightseeing on the island without a rental car. It also includes a delicious lunch. You can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

レンタカーの予約無しで島の観光をしたい時にはピッタリのバスツアーです。美味しいランチもついてます。帰りは空港でおろしてもらえます。

I participated in the Sunrise Canoeing and Blue Cave Snorkeling. I was a bit anxious since I was going alone, but I had a great time chatting with the local staff and other tour participants! I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.

I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

サンライズカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
一人参加だったので不安でしたが現地スタッフの方を始め、他のツアーのお客さんとも仲良く会話しながら楽しく参加できました！
カヌーは二人用ボードに一人で乗りましたが操作は簡単で安定して漕ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングは泳げなくてもスタッフの方が浮きで引っ張ってくださるので最後まで怪我なく終えることができました。

次に沖縄に来た時もまたツアーに参加したいです！

I signed up for this tour thinking it was perfect since we would depart at 9:30 and be taken directly to the airport. The view of Kabira Bay was even more stunning than in the photos, and our guide skillfully shared the history of Ishigaki Island and famous landmarks while singing joyfully. Their beautiful singing almost brought me to tears. The driver was also very reassuring and provided excellent service. The lunch was delicious and healthy as well. I would love to visit again next time. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

9時30分出発、直接空港へ送ってもらえるのでちょうどイイツアーだなと思い申し込みました。
川平湾の景色は写真よりも絶景で石垣島の所々の歴史や、有名建造物など楽しく上手に歌を歌いながらガイドさんが案内してくれました。
素敵な歌声で涙が出そうになりました。そして運転手さんもとても安心できるドライバーさんで接客も素晴らしかったです。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく健康的なメニューでした。
また次回も訪れたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

Kabira Bay is amazing. I was able to see sea turtles. I would like to participate again when I come to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

川平湾最高です。ウミガメも見れました。石垣島に来た際はまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.

明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです！ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。

It's very convenient as it efficiently takes you around the sightseeing spots on the island. You can enjoy it even without a rental car. The guide's explanations were very detailed and easy to understand, making it enjoyable. I think this local tour is especially recommended for older adults. The sightseeing bus was also large and very comfortable.

島内の観光名所を効率的に回ってくれるのでとても便利です。レンタカーが無くても、十分楽しめます。ガイドさんの説明も、とても詳細に分かりやすく楽しめました。年配者には特にお薦めの現地ツアーだと思います。観光バスも大きくてとても楽でした。

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.

Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.

Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

I think it would be better if you put more effort into things like caves, pottery, and glass-making. If things stay as they are, it won't be good. The Chinese Temple, the observation deck, and the food are not particularly unique. Why not start something more enjoyable? There's no sense of excitement at all. As it stands, you won't capture the hearts of young people, and it's not fun for the elderly either.

鍾乳洞　陶芸　ガラス作りとか
もつと工夫をしたらいいと思います　今のままではダメになりますよ　唐人の寺　展望台　食事も珍しく有りません　もっと楽しいこと始めません　ワクワク感がぜんぜんない　今のままで若い人の心掴めません　年寄りでも全然楽しくない

I think it's content that beginners can fully enjoy!
It was my first time trying SUP, and I was lucky enough to see the sunrise, which was amazing!
I also enjoyed snorkeling without any difficulty, and the sea was very beautiful; I even got to see a sea turtle.

I was a bit worried because the life jacket I wore had two out of three buckles broken.
I also thought it would be great if I could provide more details about my height, weight, desired size, and swimming ability when making a reservation in advance.

The staff were very friendly, and it was a tour that made me want to do it again if I have the chance!

初心者でも充分楽しめる内容だと思います！
SUPは初めてでしたが、日の出も運良く見ることができ最高でした！
シュノーケルも難なく楽しめ、海もとても綺麗でウミガメも見ることができました。

私が着用したライフジャケットが、留め具が3箇所中2箇所壊れていて少し不安でした。
また身長や体重、希望のサイズ、泳げるか、なども事前に予約時に詳しく記載できればいいなぁと思いました。

スタッフの方もとても気さくで、また機会があったら是非やりたいと思えるようなツアーでした！

I wanted to go to Kabira Bay, so I joined a bus tour that was more affordable than taking a taxi. The tour itself wasn't bad, but my child seemed a bit bored. The time spent at each stop was also short, so I think those who want to take their time would enjoy a private taxi more.

川平湾に行きたくて、タクシーよりお手頃なバスツアーに参加しました。ツアー自体は悪くありませんでしたが、子供は少し退屈そうでした。立ち寄るポイントでの滞在時間も短かかったので、ゆっくり回りたい人はタクシー貸切の方が楽しめると思います。

I participated in a sightseeing bus tour of Ishigaki Island for the first time. At Kabi Park, we had the option to either take a stroll or pay an additional fee to ride a glass-bottom boat, so I chose the glass-bottom boat to see the coral reefs. Not only did we visit tourist attractions, but the bus guide provided clear and continuous explanations about the plants growing along the roads and local information about the town, making it enjoyable until the very end.

今回初めての石垣島観光バスツアーに参加しました。途中の川平公園で散策か追加費用を払ってグラスボートに乗って海中展望かを選択出来たのでグラスボートに乗ってサンゴ礁を観に行きました。観光名所だけで無く道に生えてる植物の説明や街中の地元情報までバスガイドさんの分かりやすく途切れのないガイドで最後まで楽しむことができました。

I think people who don't rent a car will be using the bus, but the 5-day free pass is a great deal, so I recommend purchasing it.

レンタカー借りていない人はバス移動だと思いますが、５日間フリーパスはお買い得なので購入した方がいいと思います。

It was very convenient! Definitely worth the purchase! I used it a lot while traveling by bus. I would like to buy it again! The driver was also very kind.

すごく便利でした！買って損なし！バスで回って使いまくりました。また買いたいと思います！運転手さんも優しかった

The fish are close by.
The coral is beautiful.
The sea turtles don't escape.
The ocean is incredibly beautiful.
It truly became a wonderful memory!
The Blue Cave had a mystical color that mixed blue and green!

魚と距離が近い。
珊瑚が綺麗。
ウミガメが逃げない。
海がものすごく綺麗。
本当にいい思い出になりました！
青の洞窟は、青と緑色が混ざった様な色で、神秘的でした！

I was looking to ride a glass-bottom boat. It was cloudy, so I thought the visibility might have been better if it had been sunny, but there's nothing we can do about nature. Still, I was moved to see the beautiful seabed and even spotted a sea turtle.

I was worried about the bad weather in the morning, but I received a call from the staff at Marin House Gurukun, saying they could have us come earlier. Thanks to that, we were able to board an hour earlier than planned, and I appreciate the good attitude and service from all the staff.

グラスボートに乗りたくて探していました
曇っていたので 晴れていたらもっと透明度があったのかと思いましたが⋯自然の事には仕方ないですね
それでも綺麗な海底が見れウミガメも見れ感動しました
朝から天候不良で心配していた所 まりんはうすぐるくんさんから 早めに来てもらうことが出来ると電話をいただきました
おかげで予定より1時間早く乗ることが出来 スタッフの皆さんの感じも良く 対応に感謝します
