All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I participated in the Kayaking Tour at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. Kabira Bay was very clear and calm, a place where I could find peace of mind. The snorkeling was also amazing. I often snorkel abroad, but I was surprised by the beauty of Kabira Bay! The corals are so colorful! I want to go again!

川平湾カヌーツアー＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。川平湾はとても透明でおだやかで、心もおだやかになれる場所でした。シュノーケリングも最高でした。海外でよくシュノーケルをしますが、川平湾の美しさに驚きました！サンゴってあんなにカラフルなんですね。また行きたいと思いました！

I participated with my son (4th grade) and we had a great time all day! There were no complaints or issues. I highly recommend it. According to my son, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Ishigaki Island. If I had to mention something... the canoe tour gets your backside wet. It's brown. The cave tour requires you to wait under the blue sky. Everyone ends up sweating while waiting...

息子（小4）と父の二人で参加です。
終日、楽めましたよ！！特に不満もなく問題もないです。オススメです
息子曰く、今回の石垣島の一番は本件のツアーだったようです。
強いて言うと、、
カヌーツアーはお尻濡れます。茶色いです。
洞窟ツアーは青空のもと待ちます。皆様、汗だくになりながら待ちます。。

I encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling in the Blue Cave. The tour guide was also very kind, making it a wonderful memory!

青の洞窟でのシュノーケリング時にウミガメに遭遇しました。
また、ツアーガイドの方がとても親切で、良い思い出になりました！

This was my fourth time on the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and this time I brought my grandchild, making it a three-generation experience. My grandchild, who was experiencing this for the first time, was thrilled by the colorful fish and large rays, completely captivated by the mystical underwater scenery. In the latter part of the trip, a sea turtle approached the glass-bottom boat and swam with us for a while, which was very moving. It became a wonderful memory for our summer vacation. Thank you very much.

川平湾のグラスボートは私は四回目ですが、
今回は孫も連れて三世代で参加しました。
初体験の孫は色鮮やかな魚や大きなエイに声を上げて喜び、とても神秘的な海の中の光景に釘付けでした。後半は一匹のウミガメがグラスボートに近づき暫く私達と一緒に海の散策を、共に出来たのがとても感動的でした。夏休みの良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Since it was right in the middle of Obon, all the local tours were fully booked and I was feeling down about not being able to make a reservation, but then I discovered this tour!! Although there are conditions for credit card payment, I can't express how grateful I am to have been able to make a last-minute reservation.

They provide everything you need, so all you have to do is head out!! The SUP experience, the Blue Cave, snorkeling, and the guide was efficient and amazing!!! I was also happy that they took photos for us and we received the data on the way back.

One thing that concerned me was that we were dropped off at Kabira Bay at 11:30 after the morning SUP, and the next meeting was at 13:45. Since it was a local meeting point and I had left my phone in the car, I had a bit of extra time on my hands. If they had informed us about this in the morning... I recommend that those on the full-day course bring some filming equipment for the break at Kabira Bay. If it weren't for this, I would have given it a ★5. It's important to do your research.

Thank you for the fun and valuable experience. The guide, Mr. Kimura, was the best!!

お盆ど真ん中だったので現地払いのツアーはどこも満員で予約が取れずに意気消沈してたところ、このツアーを発見！！クレカ払いの条件はつきますが直前で予約が出来た有り難さは計り知れないです。

全て貸し出してくれるのであとは向かうだけ！！SUP体験、青の洞窟、シュノーケル、ガイドさんがテキパキしていて最高でした！！！
写真も撮ってもらえて、帰りにデータを頂けるのが嬉しかったところです。
ひとつ気になったのが午前のSUP終わり11:30に川平湾で降ろされ、次の集合が13:45だったところですね^^;現地集合で携帯も車に置いてきてしまっていたので少し時間を持て余しました。朝の段階で伝えてもらえてれば、、1日コースの方は川平湾の休憩時に備えて何か撮影機材持っておくことオススメします。これさえなければ★5にしたのにってところです。下調べは大事ですね。

楽しい体験、貴重な体験をありがとうございました。ガイドしてもらった木村さん最高〜！！

My third-grade daughter was a bit anxious about trying canoeing and snorkeling for the first time, but she said that snorkeling near the Blue Cave was the most fun. She was excited about the scenery with the corals and fish underwater. We received many wonderful photos, which made us happy. Thank you very much. We had a great day.

小学3年生の娘は、初めてのカヌーとシュノーケルで大丈夫かなぁと不安はありましたが、青の洞窟近くのシュノーケルが一番楽しかったとのことでした。海の中のサンゴやお魚たちのいる景色に興奮気味でした。素敵な写真もたくさんいただき、嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。楽しい一日を過ごせました。

My 6-year-old daughter went snorkeling and canoeing for the first time, and the guide was great with kids. He attended to my somewhat spoiled daughter without any signs of annoyance, allowing both of us to relax and enjoy the experience.

As soon as we started snorkeling, we were thrilled to see clownfish! The water was very clear, and the coral looked beautiful.

Canoeing was easier than I expected, and we made good progress. The headwind on the way back felt really nice.

In between the tour activities, the guide shared interesting trivia about Ishigaki, which was fun, and he took lots of photos for us. I appreciated the thoughtful gesture of providing bottled water to wash off the sand from our shoes after the tour.

I was truly satisfied that my daughter had her first snorkeling experience in Ishigaki Island! Thank you so much.

In summary, it was a wonderful tour, and I highly recommend it, especially for families visiting Ishigaki Island!

6歳娘、初めてのシュノーケリング＆カヌーでしたが、ガイドのお兄さんが子供慣れしていて
ワガママな娘にも嫌な顔一つせずにアテンドしてくださり、親子共々、終始リラックスして参加することができました。

シュノーケリング始まり、すぐに、クマノミに会えて感動！海の透明度も高く、珊瑚もとても綺麗に見えました。

カヌーは、思ったより簡単でサクサク進み、特に帰りの向かい風がとても気持ちが良かったです。

ツアーの合間合間に、お兄さんか石垣の色んな豆知識を教えてくださり面白かったですし、写真もたくさーん、撮って頂きました♩ツアーの後に、靴の砂を落とすために、ペットポトルのお水をご準備頂くなど細かな心配りがありがたかったです。


娘にとって人生初のシュノーケリングが石垣島でできて、本当に大満足でしたー！！ありがとうございました。

総括すると、とっても素晴らしいツアーなので、
石垣島に来られたら、特に家族連れの方はオススメです！！

The itinerary included representative spots on Ishigaki Island, with lunch provided and explanations from the guide, making it very easy to understand. The guide also sang songs typical of Okinawa, which made for a pleasant bus tour. It was very convenient to be able to stop at the airport along the way, and I think the tour price is quite reasonable.

石垣島で代表的な箇所をおおよそプランの中に組み込まれ、昼食付き、ガイドさんの説明ありでとてもわかりやすかった。ガイドさんの沖縄らしい歌もあり心地よいバス観光を楽しめました。空港での途中下車も可能で大変便利で、ツアー料金もお値打ちなプランだと思います

In the morning, I experienced SUP for the first time in the mangrove forest at Miyara River. It was quite challenging, and I struggled to go straight, but with the guidance of our instructor, I managed to enjoy the tour without falling even once.

My bottom got a little wet, but my whole body didn't get soaked.

In the afternoon, we gathered at the Euglena Island Terminal and drove to the northern side of the island for snorkeling in the Blue Cave. During low tide, we could walk right up to the entrance of the Blue Cave. After seeing the Blue Cave, we prepared our snorkeling gear and ventured a bit offshore, where we were able to see various fish in the coral reef. It was a wonderful experience to observe a sea that was even more beautiful than I had imagined.

午前中に宮良川でマングローブ林の中､SUPを初めて体験しました｡なかなか難しくまっすぐ進まないのですがガイドさんに教わりながら一度も転倒せずに観光できました｡

お尻が濡れるくらいで身体全体は濡れなかったです｡

午後からはユーグレナ離島ターミナル集合で車で島の北側に移動｡青の洞窟のシュノーケリングでした｡干潮の時間帯で歩いたまま青の洞窟の入り口まで行けるくらいでした｡青の洞窟を見た後でシュノーケルの準備をして少し沖に出て珊瑚礁の海で様々な魚を見ることが出来ました｡想像以上に美しい海を観察できて良い体験でした｡

The activities were fantastic, and I was also given recommendations for restaurants during my travels, which made for a fulfilling day!

アクティビティも最高でしたが、移動の際におすすめのレストラン等も教えて頂き充実した1日を過ごすことができました！

I made a last-minute reservation the day before.
Since it was during the Obon holiday, there were a lot of people, but thanks to the smooth guidance from the tour guide, I was able to enjoy it.
I also took plenty of photos, creating lasting memories.
I would love to participate again when I visit Ishigaki Island!

前日に急遽予約しました。
お盆期間という事もあり、人がたくさんいましたが、
ガイドさんのスムーズな案内で楽しむ事ができました。
写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、思い出が残りました。
また石垣島に行った際は、参加したいです！

This is my second time visiting Ishigaki Island, but during my last trip, I only went diving. This summer, I decided to do some sightseeing and participated in a tour during my free time.

In terms of time, it was almost half a day with lunch included, and the morning meeting time wasn't too early. The walking involved wasn't too much, making it an easy tour to join. Since it covers the classic spots, I think it's a recommended tour for those who want to sightsee efficiently.

Additionally, although it's not part of the itinerary, there are some entertainment options on the bus (including a sanshin performance). Please check the details by participating. From the bus window, we also got to see the family home of Eisho Higa from BEGIN (a guesthouse) and the home of Yoko Gushiken (next to which is a memorial hall), making it an enjoyable tour.

石垣島は2度目になりますが、前回行った時はダイビングしかしなかったので、今夏は観光をしようと、空いた時間を使って参加しました。

時間的には、お昼付きでほぼ半日、朝の集合もそれほど早くなく、歩く行程もそれほどないので参加しやすいツアーで、定番の場所はだいたい回っているので、効率よく観光をしたい方にはお勧めのツアーだと思います。

それと、行程にはありませんが、バスの中でお楽しみ（さんしんの演奏ほか）があります。詳細は参加してご確認ください。
車窓からにはなりますが、BEGINの比嘉栄昇さんの実家（民宿）や具志堅用高さん実家（隣は記念館だそうです）も見れて楽しいツアーでした。

First time in Ishigaki Island
Since my return flight was in the evening, I participated in a half-day tour.
Although the time spent at each sightseeing spot was not long, I was able to tour efficiently.
The bus guide entertained us with stories about the history of Ishigaki Island and songs played on the sanshin.
At the end of the tour, when I asked the guide where I could buy mangoes and pineapples, they kindly provided directions, which was very helpful.
The COVID-19 measures were also well implemented, making this a recommended tour.

初めての石垣島
帰宅日　夕方の飛行機だったので、半日観光に参加しました。
各観光名所は長い時間の滞在ではありませんでしたが、効率良く観光できました。
バスガイドの方の石垣島の歴史や三線の歌など楽しませて頂きました。
ツアーの終わりにガイドの方にマンゴーやパイナップルを買いたと尋ねると、とても親切に道案内をしていただき助かりました。
コロナ対策もしっかりしていて　おすすめのツアーです。

The mangrove kayaking was full of information about the mangrove forests that I had never known before, and it was a series of surprises!
The snorkeling was carried out safely while considering the schedule amidst sudden thunder!
I was captivated by the sight of fish that I had only seen in aquariums gracefully swimming right in front of me among the colorful coral reefs❣️
I was very impressed by the tour guide's deep-sea photography skills and their ability to answer any questions.
Thank you very much♪

マングローブカヤックは、今まで全く知らなかったマングローブの森の情報満載で驚きの連続！
シュノーケリングは、突然の雷の中、スケジュールを考えながら安全に決行！
彩とりどりの珊瑚礁の中に水族館でしか見たことのない魚達が目の前に優雅に泳ぐ姿に目が釘付け❣️
添乗員さんの海深く潜り込んでの撮影技術や、何の質問でも答えてくれる情報通には感心しきりでした。
どうも有難うございました♪

During the tour, and even during the transfers, they provided various explanations about Ishigaki Island, which was enjoyable and educational.

ツアー中はもちろん、送迎の時も色々と石垣島などについての説明してくれたので、楽しかったし、色々学べた。

On the first day of my trip, I arrived in Ishigaki Island in the evening, so I decided to take this tour to get an overview of the island at the start of my journey. The guidebook mentioned that reservations needed to be made by 5 PM the day before, so I couldn't book directly with the bus company from home a week prior (related to COVID?). I was glad to be able to make an immediate reservation through Veltra. On the day of the tour, there were about seven groups on the large bus, so we had plenty of space to sit comfortably, and the frequent hand sanitizing made for a safe and secure bus tour. The female guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she taught us many things we didn't know. Additionally, her performance with the sanshin and island songs was soothing. The driver was also very kind, which made for a pleasant experience. Since I didn't use a rental car, I felt it was worth participating in this tour with lunch included, as it allowed us to efficiently visit the main scenic spots.

旅行初日は夕方石垣島着だったので、実質旅の始めに島の概要を把握しようと思って利用しました。ガイドブックから前日17時までの申し込みが必要となっていたので1週間前に自宅から申し込もうとしても直接バス会社には予約できない事になっていました。(コロナ関連？)ベルトラさんから即時予約が出来て良かったです。当日は大型バスに7組程の利用だったのでバスの中はゆったり座れましたし、頻繁な手指消毒で安心安全なバスツアーでした。女性ガイドさんの説明は分かりやすく、知らないことを沢山教えて頂きました。また、三線と島唄もお上手で癒されました。運転手さんもお優しいお人柄で気持ちが良かったです。レンタカーを利用しなかったので昼食付のこの料金で主な景勝地を効率良く観光出来たので参加して良かったと思います。

I want to mention one thing first: for some reason, the meeting time is set for 9:10, but the bus departs at 9:30, making the early arrival completely pointless. I hope this can be reviewed as it wastes time.

It's a bus tour that takes you around famous spots, and the amount of lunch provided is sufficient. Since I was traveling alone, this option was more convenient for exploring the island than renting a car. If you wish, they can drop you off directly at the airport, which can save you from the hassle of moving on the last day. Of course, you can also return to the city and engage in another activity in the afternoon. It's easy to combine with something else, so there's a high level of flexibility.

一点だけ先に言うと、なぜか集合が9:10までとなっているがバスの出発は9:30であり、早く行く意味が全くなかったので、設定が意味不明であった。時間が無駄になるので見直してほしい。

著名なところをざっと回ってくれるバスツアーで、昼食の量も十分。自分は一人旅だったので、車をレンタルするよりもこちらの方が島内を周遊するのには利便性が高かった。
希望すればそのまま空港に降ろしてくれるので、最終日に活用すると面倒な移動も節減できる。もちろんそのまま市街地に戻り、午後後半で別のアクティビティを行うのもよいと思う。何か別のものと組み合わせやすいので、柔軟性が高い。

I used it until my evening flight on the last day! First of all, I was impressed by the service from the staff at the bus stop! They were very kind and friendly! It was raining, but they generously lent me an umbrella!

Unfortunately, it rained all day, but I was able to quickly visit the main spots, which was nice! The lunch was also quite substantial!

I think it's more economical than renting a car for two people!

最終日に夕方の飛行機までに利用しました！
まず最初のバス乗り場の係員さんの接客に感動しました！とっても優しく親切です！雨だったのですが、傘も快く貸していただけました！

残念ながら一日の雨でしたが主要なスポットをさくっと回れて、楽でした！お昼ごはんもかなりボリュームがあります！

二人だったらレンタカー借りるよりお得かなと思います！

The staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable participating. The beautiful sea and sky were all breathtaking! I was half worried about whether I could paddle the canoe, but there was hardly any wind, and it was just a wonderfully pleasant time. I also received many images for free. I would like to go with PiPi again next time. Thank you!

スタッフさんがとても気さくに話しかけてくれて安心して参加できました。
綺麗な海、空　全てに感動❣️カヌーも漕げるかなと半分心配しながらのエントリーでしたが、風もほとんどなく、ただただ気持ちいいだけの時間でした。
無料で画像もたくさんいただけました。次もPiPiさんでお願いします。ありがとうございました。

I'm glad I got to hear a lot about Ishigaki Island. It was educational. The voice was bright, easy to understand, and pleasant. The lunch was very filling! It was delicious.

石垣島のお話を沢山聞けて良かったです。
勉強になりました。
明るく、聞き取り易く、いい声でした。
ランチはボリュームたっぷりですよ♬
美味しかったです。

My first canoeing experience was easier than I expected, and even someone like me who isn't good at sports was able to enjoy it without any problems. The cheerful instructor, the beautiful river, and the joyful laughter all made for the best memories. I participated in my swimsuit and got into the car just as I was. I think a larger towel might be necessary. It was helpful that we were taken directly to the hotel.

初めてのカヌーは思ったより簡単で、スポーツ苦手な私でも問題なく楽しめました。
明るいインストラクターと美しい川平の海、楽しい笑い声、全てが最高の思い出になりました。
水着のまま参加して、終わったらそのまま車に乗ります。大きめのタオルは必要かな。ホテルに直行してもらえたのは助かりました。

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! They provided transportation from any location and the guidance to the destination was smooth! Along the way, they shared a lot about the island's history, recommended spots, and delicious restaurants, and I was very satisfied with both the tour content and the service! They also shared the charm of the island, making me want to move here in the future (laughs). I would love to use their services again when I travel back! I also want to recommend it to my friends (＾_＾).

今回はハネムーンでこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！どんな場所でも送迎してくれて現地までの案内もスムーズ！道中は島の歴史やおすすめスポット、美味しいご飯屋さんをたくさん教えてくださり、ツアー内容ともに接客も大満足です！！島の魅力も共有してくれて老後は移住したくなりました(笑)また旅行にきた際には利用させていただきたいです！友達にもおすすめしたいと思います（＾_＾）

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!

初めての石垣島だったため、「石垣島一周定期観光バス」で石垣島観光を楽しみました。
石垣島の海の綺麗さや豊かな自然を満喫でき、昼食も美味しくいただけました。また、別料金でしたが、川平湾のグラスボートでは、ウミガメや綺麗な魚を見ることができ満足でした。一度は、参加されたらいかがでしょうか？

The guidance was very thorough, making it enjoyable even for beginners! I was also really helped by the recommendations for shops in Ishigaki Island. They took over 100 wonderful photos, and the guide's stories were incredibly interesting, making for a very fulfilling time! ^_^

丁寧に教えていただけたので、初心者でも楽しめました！石垣島のオススメのお店についても教えてくださり、凄く助かりました！素敵な写真も100枚以上撮ってくださり、ガイドさんのお話も凄く面白くて、とても充実した時間になりました^_^

As someone who can't drive, I was really happy to have this kind of bus tour available. The driver and the guide were both very pleasant. Listening to the guide's island songs and sanshin made me feel more connected to Ishigaki Island, and I had a great time.

車の運転が出来ない私にとってはこういうバスツアーがあるのは助かり嬉しいです。
運転さん、ガイドさんもとても感じが良かったです。
ガイドさんの島唄や三線を聞き、より石垣島を感じる事ができ大変楽しめました。

In the morning, due to the weather conditions, some activities were changed (we even experienced the subtropical weather!). Thanks to the staff prioritizing safety, I had an amazing time exploring the Blue Cave and zip-lining over the river!

During the lunch break, we had our meal at a location featured in the advertisement on the transport vehicle. In the afternoon, we had our first experience with SUP, starting with a briefing before cruising through the subtropical jungle (mangroves). The areas thick with mangroves were surprisingly cool, and I got so immersed in the activities that I lost track of time!

The conversations with Shintaro, Taro, and Kuma were entertaining and filled with interesting trivia, making the journey enjoyable. They also took plenty of photos, making it a fantastic day that will be a cherished memory for me.

午前中は天候の都合でアクティビティの一部が変更になりましたが（亜熱帯らしさの天候も体験！）スタッフさんが安全を第一に考えていただいたおかげで青の洞窟探検と川でターザンするのをめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！
昼休憩では移動車の広告に載っている場所で昼食を済まし
午後からは初のSUPでは初めにレクチャーを受けてから亜熱帯ジャングル（ヒルギ）の中を巡回しました。ヒルギが生い茂っている所は意外と涼しくて時間を忘れてしまうぐらいアクティビティに没入できました！
シンタロウさん、タロウさん、クマさんのトークも面白く＆豆知識が冴え渡って移動中も楽しむ事ができたのと写真もたくさん撮っていただいて自分の中の記憶と記録に残る最高な1日になりました。

This is a sightseeing bus tour that covers almost all the famous spots in Ishigaki Island. If you take the morning tour, you can catch the first flight from Okinawa, and if you have an evening flight, you can get off at Ishigaki Airport, which is very convenient. It was great to hear the guide's explanations and the performance of the sanshin.

石垣島の名所をほぼ回る観光バスツアーです。ツアー午前の便なら沖縄からの始発便でも間に合うし、夕方の飛行機なら石垣島空港でも降りられるのでとても便利ですよ。添乗員さんの説明や三線の歌唱などが聞けてとても良かったです。

On June 18, just before the end of the rainy season, my spouse and I, both in our 50s, participated in our first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience. Thanks to our guide, Ray, who provided thorough instructions, we were able to enjoy the activity without falling into the water even once. We also had many photos taken, and the data was sent to us right away via LINE. We were blessed with great weather, a wonderful guide, and fantastic fellow participants, creating very good memories. It was also very helpful that we received recommendations for shops during the car ride. If I had to say something, it would have been even better if we could have enjoyed it for a bit longer.

梅雨明け間近の6月18日に50代の夫婦2人で参加しました。初SUPでしたが、ガイドのレイさんの丁寧なご指導のおかげで、一度も落水することなく、夫婦揃って楽しめました。写真もたくさん撮っていただけて、データはすぐにLINEで送ってくれました。天気にも、ガイドさんにも、一緒に参加したメンバーにも恵まれて、とても良い思い出が出来ました。移動の車の中でもおすすめのお店を紹介してもらえてとても助かりました。
強いて言うなら、もう少し長い時間楽しめれば、より良かったです。

It was great that even beginners could enjoy it and take many photos (hundreds). I was also happy that they shared information not only about the tour but also about delicious places and nature in Ishigaki Island.

初心者でも楽しめて、写真もたくさん（数百枚）撮ってもらえたのがよかったです。ツアーのことだけでなく、石垣島の美味しいお店や自然について教えてくれたことも嬉しかったです。

The mangrove SUP was great! They taught us how to paddle properly, so I felt at ease. I was also happy that they took group photos at various spots and shared them with us later.

During the ride, they talked about recommended shops and suggested different places for lunch, where I enjoyed a delicious hamburger. The snorkeling was fantastic too; I got to see a sea turtle and was very satisfied. Thank you!

マングローブsup気持ちよかったです^ ^
漕ぎ方もちゃんと教えてくれるので、安心でした。色んな場所でグループごとの写真くれて、後でいただけたのも嬉しかったです♡

道中の車の中も、おすすめのお店などの話をしてくれたり、お昼食べる場所も色んなパターンで教えてくれて、美味しいハンバーガー食べれました☆シュノーケリングも、ウミガメ見れて、大満足でした。ありがとうございました！
