All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I learned a lot from the detailed explanation of Ishigaki Island's history. Since it was a hot season, the air-conditioned bus tour was incredibly comfortable.

石垣島の歴史的など丁寧に説明していただきとても勉強になりました。暑い季節だったのでクーラーの効いたバス観光が最高に快適でした。

I arrived a bit early, but they were able to adjust the boat schedule for us. On the glass-bottom boat, we were able to slowly see beautifully colored fish and sea turtles. The moment we spotted a sea turtle, there was a cheer from everyone on the boat! The person steering the boat stopped every time a sea turtle was found! I thought we wouldn't see Nemo (the clownfish), but we ended up seeing one at the end! I believe there are certain timings, but we were able to see everything we wanted! I'm really glad we got to see such a beautiful ocean. My 2-year-and-9-month-old son also enjoyed it! The free parking was a great help too!

少し早めに着いてしまいましたが、
船の時間を早めていただけました。
グラスボートでは、色が綺麗な魚や海亀をゆっくりと見せていただけました。
海亀が見えた瞬間、ボート内は歓声が上がりました笑。操縦してくださっていた方は海亀が見つかるたびに船を止めてくださいました！
ニモ(カクレクマノミ)は見れなかったね〜と思っていたら最後に見せていただけました！タイミング等あるかと思いますが見てみたかったもの全て見せていただきました！とても綺麗な海を見れてよかったです。2歳9ヶ月の息子も楽しんでいました♪
無料駐車場付きも助かりました！

They were flexible and accommodated us by guiding us to the next available boat even though we arrived earlier than our reservation time. They also provided various information about the Kawahira Bay area. I appreciated that they offered free parking as well. There were clear signs along the road, making it easy to find even for first-time visitors.

予約時間より早つ行っても臨機応変に対応してくれて　直近の船に案内してくれました
色々川平湾周辺の案内もしてくれて
無料駐車場を用意してくれてるのも◎と感じました。
初めて行っても判りやすい看板も道沿いにありました。

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I chose a glass-bottom boat for the first day's activity. Since I had made a reservation online in advance, the check-in process was smooth, and we were able to see sea turtles from the glass-bottom boat. The kids were also very excited and completely satisfied!

初めての石垣島旅行で、
初日のアクティビティに選んだグラスボート。
事前にweb予約していたので、受付もスムーズで、
グラスボートでウミガメも見れました。
子どもたちも大興奮で大満足でした！

Since I was alone, the bus tour that allowed me to efficiently visit the tourist spots in Ishigaki Island, included lunch, and dropped me off at the airport was very convenient. I was able to make effective use of my time. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and interesting, making it a lot of fun.

一人だったので車の運転よりも石垣島の観光地を効率よく回れて、ランチもついて、最後は空港で下車できるバスツアーは、便利でした。時間も有効に使えました。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく面白く、とても楽しかったです。

After the typhoon passed, it was a great tour that allowed for sightseeing even in the stormy weather, which was appreciated for a solo female traveler without a rental car. The guide was experienced and knowledgeable, and the tour covered almost all the must-see attractions, simply wonderful. The value for this price is very reasonable.

台風一過後、暴風雨の中でもしっかり観光をしてくれ、レンタカーをしない女性一人旅には有難いツアーだった。　ガイドもベテランで知識も豊富、ツアー内容もほぼ必見観光地を網羅していて、素晴らしいの一言。この料金でこの内容は良心的だ。

I participated on the last day. I was satisfied after sightseeing for half a day and having lunch. It was also nice to be dropped off at the airport.

最終日に参加しました。
半日、観光をしランチも食べて満足でした。
空港で降ろしてもらえるのも良かったです。

I had checked the detailed directions on Google Street View in advance, so I arrived smoothly. Since there was availability, I was able to take an earlier boat, which gave me some extra time for my plans afterward, and I was glad about that. The blue sea and sky were just as described in the guidebook, and I was moved by the beauty. I was able to see sea turtles and the cute family of clownfish that I also have at home diving into the anemones, making it a satisfying tour.

予めGoogleストリートビューで細かい行き先を確認していたため、すんなりと到着。空きがあったので時間前倒しで一つ前の船に乗れてその後の予定に余裕ができて良かったです。
青い海と空は正にガイドブック通りで感動しました。ウミガメや家でも飼っているカクレクマノミのファミリーがハタゴイソギンチャクに潜る可愛い様子が見れて、満足のいくツアーでした。

I participated with my one-year-old, and it was definitely the right choice to go on a bus tour in the scorching summer heat. Renting a car is expensive, and with lunch included, I didn't have to drive. The bus was always cool, so I didn't have to return to a sweltering vehicle after sightseeing. The bus guide was experienced and provided great commentary, and at the end, they even sang a song with a sanshin, which was fun! I wish it could have been a bit longer. However, I was a little disappointed with the lunch! The scenery was beautiful, though!

一歳の子連れで参加したんですが、真夏の暑い中バスツアーにして正解でした。レンタカーも高いし、昼ご飯も付いていて運転もしなくていいし、
車内は常に涼しく目的地で観光しても激アツの車内に戻らなくても良かったし、バスガイドさんも慣れた感じで案内してくれて最後には三線で歌を歌ってくれたり、楽しかったです♪もう少し長くても良かったかなってくらいです♪
しかし、昼食は少し残念だったかな！
景色は良かったですが！

Despite mistakenly making a reservation the day before, I was treated very kindly and attentively, and I was able to enjoy the experience the next day! Moreover, when I arrived a bit early, they even adjusted things so I could take an earlier boat! Perhaps because I was on an early boat, I was able to see many sea turtles and corals in deeper waters, and my 2-year-old child was delighted too. The boat really had very little rocking, so I didn't get seasick at all! The driver's guidance was easy to understand, and it was a very fulfilling experience.

前日に間違えて予約してしまったにも関わらずとても親切丁寧に対応していただき無事に翌日に体験できました！！しかも少し早めに着いたところ1本前の便が空いてないか調整までしていただけました！早い時間の便に乗れたからか、深いところでウミガメやサンゴをたくさん見ることができ、2歳の子供も喜んでいました(^^)船は本当に揺れが少なく酔わなかったです！運転手さんのガイドもわかりやすくとても充実した体験でした◎

The glass-bottom boat allowed us to see beautifully underwater. We were also taught the names of various fish. At the turtle point, a turtle came up for air, and we all gasped in amazement together. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

グラスボードで、海の中、綺麗に見えました
色々と、お魚の名前も教えてもらいました
亀のポイントでは、息継ぎで亀が上がってきたので、皆で声出して感動
また、機会があれば参加したいです

It was raining on the day of the experience, but it wasn't too hot during the kayaking, making it very easy to navigate. When we went snorkeling in the Blue Cave, the rain had just stopped, and the sea was incredibly beautiful—it was the best!

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was a bit anxious, but the guide was very attentive and taught us well, allowing us to have a fun day! If I have the chance to go to Ishigaki Island again, I would love to participate!

体験の日は雨が降っていて、カヤックの時は暑すぎず非常に周りやすく、青の洞窟でのシュノーケリング時はちょうど雨が上がり海もすごく綺麗で最高でし！

今回初めてのシュノーケリングで少し不安でしたが、
ガイドさんも丁寧に教えてくださり楽しい1日を過ごすことができました！
また石垣島に行く機会があれば参加したいと思いました！

I used this service for a trip with three women. They explained the canoeing and snorkeling clearly, so I felt safe participating! During the activities, they provided various stories and explanations. All the guides were kind and funny, it was the best experience!! If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely like to request them.

女子3人旅で利用させていただきました。
カヌーもシュノーケルも分かりやすく説明してくれるので安心して参加出来ました！
アクティビティ中も色んな話や説明もしっかりしてくれます。
ガイドさん達みんな優しいし面白いし最高でした！！
また行く事があればぜひお願いしたいです。

There were about 12 to 13 participants on the day, so the bus was spacious. We were able to visit the points efficiently, and it was a fun tour. The guide and the bus company staff were very pleasant and attentive. Next time, it seems like it would be even more enjoyable to explore with a rental car.

当日の参加者は１２−３ 人だったので、バスはゆったりできました。またポイントを効率良く回れ、楽しいツアーでした。ガイドさんもバス会社の人もとても感じがよく、気遣いも十分。
今度は、レンタカーで回ってみたら、より楽しめそうです。

Starting with the friendly reception staff at the bus company, and the fun storytelling of our professional bus guide, Chieko, I’m really glad we chose this company! (I’m not sure if there are other companies in Ishigaki.) We were blessed with great weather and truly enjoyed the beautiful Ishigaki Island. But it was hot! The air-conditioned bus was a blessing! The only downside (?) was that the bus seats were a bit narrow for my American husband. But that’s just something he can fix by losing some weight! We were dropped off directly at the airport, and it was the perfect length for sightseeing. I highly recommend it. I hope you get Chieko as your guide!

バス会社のフレンドリーな受付の人達に始まり、プロのバスガイドの千恵子ちゃんの楽しい話っぷりと、この会社を選んでよかった！　(石垣に他の会社があるのかは知りませんが) 天気に恵まれ、本当に綺麗な石垣島を満喫できました。　でも暑かった〜。　キンキンに冷えたバスが有り難かった！　　唯一の難点(？)はアメリカ人の主人にはバスの椅子がちょっと狭かったかな〜？　でもこれは彼が痩せれば良い話です〜　　そのまま空港に降ろして頂き、ちょうど良い長さの観光でした。　お勧めです。　千恵子ちゃんにあたるといいね！

Unexpectedly, I encountered several sea turtles, and it was so much fun. The staff provided detailed explanations, which was great.

思いがけず、ウミガメも何匹か遭遇しとっても楽しかったです。スタッフの方の説明も詳しく案内してくれて良かったです。

It was June, during the rainy season, so there were only four participants, including my husband and me. Although the number was small, the bus interior was relaxing, and the guide provided various explanations right after we boarded, which was enjoyable.

When visiting for sightseeing, it's easy to focus only on the fun aspects, and I usually don't get the chance to learn about the origins or history of Ishigaki Island. However, on this tour, I was able to hear about the origins of the Tomb of the Chinese and the tidal flow of Kabira Bay, see wild palm trees, and listen to stories about encounters with habu snakes, which was enjoyable. Of course, the guide also shared stories and songs passed down in Ishigaki Island, and I was most surprised by the guide's skill in playing the sanshin and singing! I even wondered if they might be a professional.

Out of the four participants, one person got off at Ishigaki Airport, but they seemed to have enjoyed themselves and waved goodbye to the bus with a smile. It’s a journey around Ishigaki Island that feels like it’s possible yet elusive, so I had a great time participating and learning various things.

6月の梅雨時だったせいか、当日は私たち夫婦を含めて４名の参加でした。人数が少なかったけれど、バス車内はゆっくりくつろげるし、乗車してすぐにガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれて楽しかった。

観光で行くと楽しいことばかりに目が行ってしまって、石垣島の由来とか歴史なんて学ぶ機会はないですが、このツアーでは唐人墓の由来とか、川平湾の潮の流れとか、野生の椰子の木を見たりハブとの遭遇話など聞けて楽しかったです。もちろん、石垣島に伝わる話や歌も披露してくれて、実は一番びっくりしたのは、ガイドさんの三線と歌の上手さです！実はプロなんじゃないかな？と思ったくらいです。

参加者４名のうち、おひとりが石垣空港で下車されましたが、その方も楽しまれたようで笑顔でバスを見送ってくださいました。
石垣島をぐるっと島を巡る旅は行けそうで行けないので、今回参加していろんなことを聞けて楽しかったです。

Due to the weather, I made a reservation the night before my trip instead of beforehand. The guidance was very good, and I was able to see many cute fish. Thank you very much.

お天気次第のこともあり旅行前に予約せず前日の夜に予約させて頂きました。案内もとてもよくかわいいお魚もたくさん見れました。ありがとうございました

My first SUP experience was so much fun! I was taught the basics of how to ride, and I jumped right in. At first, I was a bit hesitant, but once I got the hang of it, even someone like me, who is a beginner and not very athletic, was able to glide smoothly across the water, which was really enjoyable!

On the day of the experience, the wind was a bit strong and the waves were somewhat rough, so there were times when I couldn't move as I wanted, but being surrounded by the beautiful sea and feeling the ocean breeze and the sway of the waves while doing SUP was truly refreshing and fun.

The guide took photos for us along the way and shared information about the natural environment of Kabira Bay, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me off at a public shower room in Ishigaki City on the way back, which was really helpful. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

初めてのSUP体験とても楽しかったです！SUPの基本的な乗り方を教えてもらって、すぐに実践。初めは腰が引けてしまっていましたが、コツを掴むと初心者で運動神経の悪い自分でもすぐにスイスイと進むことができるようになり、面白かったです！

当日は少し風が強く波がやや強かったため、漕いでも漕いでも思い通りに進むことができない時もありましたが、綺麗な海に囲まれて海風や波の揺れを感じながらSUPをするのは本当に爽快で楽しかったです。

ガイドさんが途中途中で記念撮影をしてくださったり、川平湾の自然環境などについてお話をしてくださったおかげでさらに楽しめました。

行きはホテルでピックアップ、帰りは石垣市内の公共シャワールームまで送って下さったのも助かりました。楽しい体験をありがとうございました！

When I first visited Ishigaki Island, I drove around for a day with a rental car, but this time the sightseeing bus tour included explanations at key points, making it an enjoyable experience.

初めて石垣島に行った時はレンタカーで1日ドライブしましたが、今回の観光バスツアーは要所要所の説明もあり、楽しいものでした。

The views from Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki were equally stunning. The bus guide's commentary matched the scenery outside the window and included some informative stories, which made everyone's applause grow louder. It was enjoyable.

川平湾と玉取崎の眺望は甲乙つけがたし、素晴らしかった。
バスガイドさんの話は、車窓の景色に合っているし、ためになる話もあって、皆の拍手が段々大きくなる。楽しかった。

I was quite anxious during my first kayaking experience, but the instructor was very kind and taught me well! It was also really enjoyable to talk about Ishigaki Island and nature! The mangroves I saw for the first time were very mystical and beautiful! I definitely want to experience it again!

初めてのカヤックでは不安が強かったのですが、インストラクターさんがとても親切に教えて頂きました！石垣島のことだったり、自然のことだったり、お話もとても楽しかったです！
初めて見るマングローブはとても神秘的で素敵でした！
また必ず体験したいと思います！

I went on a mangrove kayak tour by myself, and even in the car, I was able to hear valuable stories about Ishigaki Island. It was my first time kayaking, but they kindly and thoroughly taught me, and the photos they sent were really beautiful, creating wonderful memories! Thanks to all the guides. It was also my first time snorkeling, and I wasn't very good at it, but it became a great memory. Thank you very much!

一人旅で、マングローブカヤックツアーに行きましたが、車の中でも石垣島の貴重なお話を聞かせてくださったり、カヤックは初めてだったのですが、親切丁寧に教えてくださって、送って下さった写真も本当に綺麗でいい思い出になりました！
ガイドの皆さんのおかげです。
シュノーケルも初めてで、ヘタクソでしたが、いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました

Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island and I only had one day of free time, I booked a bus tour to make the most of it! We visited famous spots, and since the tour ended early, I was able to buy souvenirs and go to a restaurant I had been looking forward to! There were also gravel paths and mountain trails, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes! The area with palm trees felt like a jungle, so it might be good to have insect repellent and a light jacket!

初めての石垣島かつ1日しか自由に使える時間がなかったので、効率よくまわりたくバスツアーを予約しました！
有名なところを回ってくださり、早めの解散だったためお土産を買ったり楽しみにしていたご飯屋さんに行くこともできました！
砂利道や山道を歩くこともあったので、歩きやすい靴で行くことをお勧めします！
ヤシの木のところはジャングルみたいな感じだったので、虫除けや羽織ものなどあると良いかなと思います！

I'm glad I was able to visit the main tourist spots in Ishigaki Island in half a day. There was a bit of concern when the driver hit the mirror and we had to switch buses, but we ended up finishing the tour on schedule without any delays. It would have been even better if we could have spent a little more time at each spot. I really appreciated being able to visit places like the Yonehara Yaeyama Palm Forest, which are difficult to reach on your own.

半日で石垣島のメイン観光スポットを回れて良かった。
出発時にドライバーがミラーぶつけてバス乗り換えトラブルがあり心配されたが日程に遅れも生じず順調に観光が終えられたので、各スポットでの時間をもう少し長く取られるともっと良かったと思う。
米原八重山ヤシ原生林など個人では行きにくい所に行けたのがとても良かった。

I recommend this for those who have a flight back around 3 PM. On the last day, you can enjoy a complete tour around Ishigaki Island without wasting time starting from 9 AM. In the end, they drop you off at the airport.

Depending on the weather, you can fully enjoy the charm of the outer rim of Ishigaki Island. You can visit places you might not have gone to alone and gain knowledge you wouldn't have otherwise. If the weather had been good, Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory would have surely offered stunning views. Unfortunately, it was slightly cloudy, so I could only experience about half of its beauty, but I was very satisfied. The guide entertained us with interesting trivia and a variety of songs and shamisen performances!

15時台の帰りの飛行機を取ってる方にはおすすめです。
最終日の朝9時から時間を無駄にすることなく石垣島をぐるっと一周。最後は空港で降ろしてくれます。

天気次第ではありますが、石垣島外周の魅力を余すところなく楽しめます。
1人で回ってるだけでは行くことはなかったであろう場所に行くことが出来、知り得なかった知識を得られます。
天気が良ければ川平湾や玉取崎展望台はさぞや絶景だったことでしょう。
残念ながら薄曇りでしたのでその美しさの半分程度しか味わうことは出来ませんでしたが非常に満足できました。
ガイドさんの豆知識と多彩な歌や三味線で楽しませてくれます♪

Due to the rain and strong winds, the tour content changed, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful Kabira Bay! The staff recommended some great places, making my trip even more fulfilling. ^_^

雨と強風で、ツアー内容が変わってしまいましたが、キレイな川平湾を楽しむ事ができました！
スタッフさんに、おすすめのお店を教えてもらい、より充実した旅行になりました^_^

I learned about mangroves for the first time in detail. Thanks to the knowledgeable guide, I had a great time.

マングローブのことをはじめてちゃんと知りました。
詳しいガイドさんのおかげでとっても楽しめました。

We went to the beautiful sea of Ishigaki Island to celebrate my partner's birthday. It was my first time doing a SUP tour and snorkeling, and the weather was perfect with a clear blue sea, which was amazing. During snorkeling, our guide, Arai, shared knowledge about Ishigaki Island on the bus ride and provided detailed explanations of the equipment in the water. He also took beautiful photos of us, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which was fantastic. However, I did feel a bit seasick while diving, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to bring some medication.

During the SUP tour, we had a great time on the water thanks to our cheerful coach, Yusuke. The "Nice in!" cheers when we fell into the water were the best! We even sang a birthday song together on the water, which made my partner very happy. We took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

今回パートナーのBirthdayを祝うために石垣島の綺麗な海に行きました。SUPツアーとシュノーケリングを初めてやったのですが、よく晴れていて海も青く透きとおり最高でした。シュノーケリングではガイドの新井さんが行きのバスで石垣島の知識など説明し、海では丁寧に道具の説明、海での写真を綺麗に撮っていただき、またウミガメにも遭遇できてとても良かったです。ただ潜ってる最中にちょっと酔ってしまい酔いやすい人は酔いどめ必要かも。SUPツアーでは明るいユウスケさんのコーチングで海の上を楽しく過ごせました。途中何度も海に落ちてしまったときなどナイスイン！の掛け声最高です。また海の上でみんなでBirthdayソングを歌ってくれてこんなにも楽しい時間を過ごせるなんてパートナーもとても喜んでいました。写真も沢山撮って頂き最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

Since my son liked it, we took a glass-bottom boat ride in Kabira Bay again. The captain skillfully anchored the boat so we could observe the beautiful fish and coral, which was very interesting. Even though it wasn't far away, there were both deep and shallow areas, and I was impressed by how varied Kabira Bay is.

息子が気に入ったので、川平湾のグラスボートに再度乗船しました。綺麗な魚や珊瑚があると船長さんが巧みな運転技術で船を留めてよく観察できるようにしてくれるので、とてもおもしろかったです。そう離れていないのに、水深は深いところも浅いところもあって、川平湾の中はこんな風なのかと感動しました。
