All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time, but since I didn't have a driver's license, I booked a tour to get around the island. I was satisfied to be able to do stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in beautiful waters that I wouldn't have been able to reach on my own. It was great to also visit Kabira Park during lunchtime and enjoy the island's natural beauty in just one day.

初めて石垣島に来たのですが運転免許がなく島を回れなかったので1ツアーを予約しました。
自分では行けないような綺麗な海でsupとシュノーケリングができ満足でした。
お昼時に川平公園にも行け1日で石垣島の大自然を堪能できてよかったです。

I participated in the afternoon tour.
It's a perfect itinerary for those visiting Ishigaki Island for the first time or looking to fill their time.

午後ツアーに参加しました。
初めて石垣島を訪れる方や時間埋め合わせで利用するには丁度よい行程です。

Thank you so much to our guide for taking so many beautiful photos. It was my first time snorkeling in such a beautiful sea, and I was extremely satisfied. It truly became a wonderful memory. Thank you again! Next time, I will bring my mother along.

とても綺麗な写真をたくさん撮ってくれたガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。
また、こんなに綺麗な海でシュノーケルしたのは初めてだったのでとてもとても大満足です^_^
本当に良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました〜
次は母も連れて行きます

It was a very satisfying plan where I could fully enjoy both sup and snorkeling in one day. I participated alone, but I got along well with the guide and other tour participants, making it a fun experience from start to finish. I even went to a recommended izakaya with the people I became friends with, and it created wonderful memories after the tour ended. This is a tour that you can be very satisfied with even if you join alone. I highly recommend participating if you're traveling solo.

supとシュノーケルを1日で満喫できるとても大満足なプランでした。
1人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんや他のツアー参加者さんとも打ち解けて終始楽しかったです。仲良くなった人とガイドさんオススメの居酒屋にも行ったり、ツアーが終わってからも楽しい思い出でした。
1人で参加しても大満足できるツアーです。
1人旅の際は、ぜひ参加することをオススメします。

Despite the sudden reservation, they kindly accommodated us. They greeted us with smiles and shared various information about Ishigaki Island, making our experience wonderful until the end. Thank you very much. I hope to be taken care of again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

突然の予約だったのに関わらず優しく対応してくれました。
自由な私たちにも笑顔で接してくださり、石垣島の色んな情報も教えてくださり最後まで良くしてくださり本当にありがとうございました。
また石垣島に来た際はお世話になりたいと思います。

The sea conditions were bad, so I switched to mangrove participation. It was my first time in the mangroves, and it felt like I wasn't in Japan, which was amazing. I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island in one day, experiencing the sea, mangroves, and waterfalls, and it was truly fun! The guides were all very kind, and it was a great tour!

海の状況が悪くマングローブに変更して参加しました。
初めてのマングローブで日本じゃないみたいで感動しました。
海にマングローブに滝壺に1日で石垣島の大自然を満喫することができ本当に楽しかったです！
ガイドの方々もみんな優しくとてもいいツアーでした！

I wasn't able to decide what to do until the last minute, so I asked for help at the last moment, haha. Thank you for letting me participate! Haha. Also, thank you for the transportation! It was my first activity, and I didn't expect it to be this much fun, haha. I'm glad we had such a kind guide who was attentive to everything!

ギリギリまでやる事が決まらず、急遽お願いいたしました笑参加させていただきありがとうございます笑
しかも送迎までありがとうございます！
初めてのアクティビティだったのですが、こんなに楽しいものだとは笑
色々と気にかけていただける親切なガイドさんで良かったです！

Due to bad weather, we couldn't do SUP in the sea, and the original SUP tour location was changed to the mangroves, but I actually had more fun with the change! It was calm in the mangroves, and even though there was strong wind, the water surface was perfectly still!

悪天候で海でSUPする事が出来ず、当初のSUPツアーと場所がマングローブに変更になりましたが、むしろ変えてもらって楽しかったです！
マングローブの中は穏やかで、強風なのに水面がピターッとしていました！

It was a great trip. Kabira Bay was crystal clear, and I could see the bottom of the sea 3 meters down! The Blue Cave was a bit smaller due to the tide, but the surrounding snorkeling spots were full of fish, and I was very satisfied. The waterfall was also refreshing like a shower!

良い旅になりました。川平湾は透き通っており、3m下の海の底まで見えました！潮の満ち引きの影響で青の洞窟は少し小さめでしたが、その周辺のシュノーケリングポイントはお魚がたくさんいて、大満足でした。
滝壺もシャワーみたいで気持ちかったです！

I had always wanted to visit Ishigaki Island. Since it's not a place I can visit often, I decided to fully enjoy my time there and signed up for this one-day plan. The young male instructor was also very dedicated and made an effort to entertain us guests, which I appreciated. I was able to hear stories unique to the island, making it a fulfilling day.

一度行ってみたいと思っていた石垣島。。
滅多に訪れることのできる場所ではないので、思いっきり楽しもうと考え、こちらの一日プランを申し込みました。
インストラクターの若い男性も一生懸命、私たちゲストをもてなそうと頑張っていて好感が持てました。島ならではの話も聞けて充実した1日になりました。。

The kind guide accompanied us for the entire day, making it a comfortable tour. I was able to enjoy both SUP and snorkeling without any stress, and the hotel drop-off was perfect. If I have the chance again, I would like to participate in the shop on Iriomote Island as well.

優しいガイドさんが、1日付き添ってくださり、快適なツアーになりました。初めてのSUPもシュノーケルもなんのストレスもなく楽しむことができ、ホテルのお送りまで完璧でした^_^
また機会があれば、西表島のお店にも参加したいです

I participated in this highly-rated tour because I was traveling with my elderly mother and it was difficult for us to move around on our own without driving. Since it was a morning course, we were lucky to have a fantastic guide. It was also appealing that the tour included the places I really wanted to visit, like Kabira Bay.

Unfortunately, I have hearing difficulties, so I couldn't hear the guide's explanations in the bus due to the noise of the vehicle. (My mother could hear everything clearly, so this is just my ear issue.)

However, once we got off the bus and listened to the guide, the explanations were very clear and enjoyable.

The palm tree grove in Yonaha felt like a trip back to prehistoric times, which was thrilling.

At Kabira Bay, since it was Friday, there was a long line at the glass-bottom boat boarding area. I was disappointed thinking we might not be able to ride today, but the guide advocated for us and prioritized our group, allowing us to enjoy the experience. I'm glad we chose this tour!

The highlight of the trip was definitely the Tamatorizaki Observatory. The clear weather made for breathtaking views! The colors of the sea were distinctly separated into blue, indigo, and green, sparkling beautifully—it was truly an indescribable landscape.

To be able to enjoy such beautiful scenery one after another made this a wonderful tour. I highly recommend it.

Additionally, the guide sang "Asadoya Yunta," which my mother said she had heard when she was little. It was a delightful surprise to hear her humming along to the chorus, "Matahari nu tsuindara kanushamayo" and "Sa-yui yui." It's rare for my mother to sing, so this was special. It was also nice that the lyrics were included in the pamphlet (but it would be even better if we understood the meaning).

Thank you very much!

この度は、高齢の母と一緒という事と、運転出来ず自力で移動するのも大変なので、評判の良いこのツアーに参加致しました。
午前コースなので、名物ガイドさんに大当たりしました。
是非行きたかった川平湾が入っていたのも魅力でした。

残念なのは、私は難聴なので、
ガイドさんが車中で説明してくださるお話が
バスの走行音に紛れて聞き取れなかった事です。（母にはちゃんと聞こえていましたから、これは私の耳の問題です。）

でも下車してからお話をうかがうと、大変わかり易くて楽しかったです。

米原のヤシの群生もどこか原始時代にトリップしたようでどきどきしました。

川平湾は金曜日という事で、グラスボート乗り場が長蛇の列。
今日は乗れないかも知れないと、ガッカリしましたが、ガイドさんが掛け合ってくださって、優先的にツアーの皆を案内して下さり楽しむことが出来ました。
ツアーで良かった！

そしてどこよりも素晴らしかったのは
玉取崎展望台。
綺麗に晴れた事もあり、まさに息を呑むような絶景！
海の色が青に、藍色に、緑にとくっきり分かれて煌めいていて、本当に筆舌に尽くしがたい風景でした、

こんなに美しい風景を次々と楽しめるなんて、素晴らしいツアーです。お勧めします。

それから、ガイドさんの歌の中の
「安里屋ユンタ」、母が小さい頃に聞いたことがあるそうで、サビの部分
「マタハーリヌツィンダラ カヌシャマヨ」「サーユイユイ」
と一緒に口ずさんでいるのが嬉しい驚きでした。
だって、母がうたうなんて、滅多にないんですよ。
パンフレットに歌詞が載っているのも良かったです（でも意味が分かるともっと嬉しい）

本当にありがとうございました。

I stayed near the bus terminal and was scheduled to take a flight at 2:30 PM on the last day. With luggage in hand, I was thinking about how to spend the morning. I found this tour, which perfectly matched my conditions, so I made a reservation. I was also interested in the male guide's island songs in the morning after reading the reviews. There were over 30 participants, including a group from Taiwan, as well as people from Hong Kong and South Korea, and the guide occasionally used a Pocketalk for translation. It was very international. The male guide's explanations included jokes and were very easy to understand.

The glass bottom boat at Kabira Bay was quite crowded, and I almost gave up, but the shop was flexible and managed to charter a boat for us, which was great. We were able to see various coral reefs and sea life. The lunch at a restaurant with a great view had more side dishes than I expected, which was surprising. I wanted to hear more of the sanshin performance and island songs.

We arrived at the airport at 1:45 PM and got off there. I was able to board the plane safely, and it turned out to be a meaningful day. With the meal included, I thought this price was a great deal.

バスターミナル近くに宿泊していて、最終日14時30分発の飛行機利用予定。荷物も有り午前をどのように過ごすか考えていました。こちらのツアーを見つけ私の条件にぴったりでしたので予約をしました。口コミを読み午前中の男性ガイドさんの島唄にも興味が有りました。30名以上の参加者で台湾人の団体さん・香港・韓国人もいてガイドさんが時々ポケトークを使用し翻訳。国際的です。男性ガイドさんの説明は冗談も取り入れとても解りやすかったです。
川平湾のグラスボードはかなり混んでいて一瞬諦めかけたのですがお店側が融通をきかせてくれなんとか１隻チャーターでき良かったです。色々な珊瑚礁とミモが見れました。昼食も見晴らしの良いレストランでおかずが思いの外多くて驚きました。三線での演奏と島唄はもっと聴きたいくらいでした。
１３時４５分に空港着で、ここで下車。無事に飛行機に乗れ有意義な一日と成りました。お食事も付きこのお値段はお得と思いました。

I wasn't sure what to do in Ishigaki Island, so I joined a one-day plan. The snorkeling allowed me to see many fish and a beautifully clear sea like I've never seen before. During the SUP tour, I was able to spend meaningful time on such a beautiful sea, and I was very satisfied. I'm glad I could fully enjoy Ishigaki Island in just one day!

石垣島に来て何をしたらいいのか分からなかったので1日プランに参加しました(^.^)
シュノーケルは沢山の魚に透き通った見たことないぐらいの綺麗な海が見れサップツアーではそんな綺麗な海の上で有意義な時間を過ごせ満足でした(^^)
1日で石垣島を大満喫できたので良かったです^ ^

Before participating in the tour, I was a bit anxious because my son and niece couldn't swim. However, I saw that it was possible to join even if you can't swim from the age of three, so my wife, son (7 years old), my wife's sister and her husband, and my niece (11 years old) participated.

The weather was good, but the day before the tour, we were informed that due to strong winds, canoeing at Kabira Bay would be difficult, and we might have to do the mangrove canoe tour at Miyara River instead. On the day of participation, the morning canoe tour at Kabira Bay was canceled due to strong winds, and we headed to Miyara River. I was a bit disappointed, but once we arrived and started, I forgot all about that and had an amazing time! Everyone was new to canoeing, but we quickly got used to it, and it was surprisingly easy.

During the canoeing, the guide who was on a SUP asked if we wanted to try it, and the kids were thrilled and had a lot of fun. After returning to the port and taking a lunch break, thanks to everyone's enthusiastic requests, the same guide joined us for the afternoon snorkeling tour, which really boosted our excitement!

The snorkeling was also great; since we wore life jackets, the kids had no problems and enjoyed themselves. The sea was incredibly beautiful. After that, we enjoyed a waterfall shower in the river and even got to do the Tarzan swing, making for a fun-filled day!

The guide was incredibly kind and helped us with everything, sending us nearly 150 photos, which became wonderful memories. Thank you so much!

ツアー参加前には息子と姪っ子が泳げない為、少し不安でしたが、泳げなくても3歳からでも参加可能というのを見て、嫁、息子（7歳）、嫁姉夫婦、姪っ子（11歳）で参加しました。
天気は良かったのですが、ツアー前日に、風が強い為当日は川平湾でのカヌーは難しく、宮良川でのマングローブでカヌーツアーになるかもしれませんとのことでした。
参加当日、午前中の川平湾カヌーツアーは強風により中止となり、宮良川に向かうことになりました。少し残念でしたが、いざ現地に着いてやってみるとそんなこと忘れて、最高に楽しむことが出来ました！みんなカヌーは初めてでしたが、すぐに慣れて意外と簡単でしたね(^^)
カヌー途中でSUPに乗って案内してくれたガイドさんが、やってみます？とみんなにやらしてくれたのも、子供達も大喜びで楽しかったです。
港に戻り、昼休憩を取った後に午後からのシュノーケリングツアーもみんなの必死のラブコールのおかげか、同じガイドさんが来てくれて、テンション上がりました〜！
肝心のシュノーケリングもライフジャケットを付けての参加だったので、子供達も全然問題なく楽しく過ごせました。海もめちゃくちゃキレイでした。
その後、川での滝シャワー、ターザンもやれて1日中楽しく過ごすことが出来ました(^^)
ガイドさんには何から何まで親切に案内して頂き、写真も150枚近く送って頂いて、いい思い出になりました。本当にありがとうございました。

I had a SUP experience at Kabira Bay. I was worried because I thought I had to start standing from the beginning, but I began on my knees, so I was able to get on without any issues. There were some waves, and I wobbled and fell, but it was fun. After lunch, I went snorkeling in the Blue Cave. I saw a ton of tropical fish and even a small shark, which was really interesting. Cooling off my heated body in the sea was absolutely wonderful. I plan to come back again.

川平湾でSUPの体験をしましまた。
初めから立って乗るものだと思っていたので
心配していたのですが、膝立ちから始まったので何事もなく乗れて良かったです。
少し波があったのでふらついてコケてしまったけれど楽しかったです。
お昼をまたいでから青の洞窟でシュノーケルをしました。めちゃめちゃたくさんの熱帯魚が観れたのと小さなサメもいて面白かったです。火照った体を海で冷やすのは最高に良かったです。また来ようと思います

Since I was traveling with my elderly mother and uncle and aunt, I chose this tour as it seemed manageable. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, it was good to see that the elderly group was able to enjoy Ishigaki Island to some extent.

This tour may not be recommended for those who want to spend a lot of time at one location or for those looking to be very active, but I think it’s a good plan for those who want to efficiently enjoy Ishigaki Island.

後期高齢者の母と叔父・叔母夫婦を連れての観光だったので、あまり無理のなさそうなこのツアーを選びました。雨が降ったり止んだりの生憎の天気ではありましたが、高齢者御一行もそれなりに石垣島を堪能してくれたようで良かったです。
一箇所にたっぷり時間をかけて楽しみたいと言う人やアクティブに体を動かしたいと言う人にはオススメではないですが、効率的に石垣島を楽しみたいと言う人には良いプランだと思います。

The beer after the activity was amazing. At the izakaya you recommended, we enjoyed delicious Okinawan cuisine while looking at the beautiful photos shared by the staff and laughing together. I will definitely come back to create more wonderful memories.

アクティビティ後のビールが最高でした。おススメしていただいた居酒屋さんで、美味しい沖縄料理を食べながら、スタッフさんにいただきた綺麗な写真をみて、笑いあっていました笑
また素敵な思い出を作りにうかがいます。

The sea was much more beautiful than it looked in the photos, and I was surprised. The staff took many pictures, which became lifelong memories, and they also shared various information about Ishigaki Island, allowing me to fully enjoy my time there. Thank you very much! 😊

写真で見るよりはるかに海が綺麗でびっくりしました。
写真もスタッフの方がたくさん撮って頂き一生の思い出になりましたし、スタッフの方が石垣島の色んな情報も教えてくださったので満喫する事ができました。
ありがとうございました(^^)

I'm glad I signed up for the tour on my first trip to Ishigaki Island. I was a bit anxious because I had an elementary school child with me, but the guide took great care of us until the end, which was a big help. We were able to enjoy ourselves as if we were kids again. Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島旅行でツアーに申し込みして良かったです。
小学生の子供がいたので不安だったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが最後まで面倒見てくださり助かりました。
私たちも子供の頃に戻ったかのように楽しめました。
本当にありがとうございました。

I participated in a night tour in Ishigaki Island. I was able to encounter many creatures. The guide also introduced various plants. It was very enjoyable to connect with the wildlife, plants, and nature. I was really excited about the coconut crab! The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot!

石垣島のナイトツアーに参加しました。たくさんの生物に出会うことができました。他にも植物などガイドさんが紹介してくれました。生物や植物、自然に触れ合うことができ、とても楽しかったです。ヤシガニには大興奮しました！ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、たくさん教えてくれました！

It was my first trip to Ishigaki, and it turned out to be a truly fulfilling day. I did stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay and snorkeled in the Blue Cave. I took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Next time, I would like to visit Iriomote Island, which the guide recommended. I hope to do it again then.

初石垣旅行でしたが、本当に濃い一日になり大満足でした。
川平湾でサップと青の洞窟シュノーケル。
どちらもたくさん写真を撮って下さり、本当に良い思い出になりました。
今度は、ガイドさんオススメの西表島にも行ってみたいです。
その時は、またお願いします。

For 3200 yen, it was a tour that felt cheap. The story from the beautiful guide, who claims to resemble Rosanne, was so enjoyable that even though I left home at 5 AM and was sleepy, I was wide awake because the stories were interesting. Once we entered the forest, she caught and showed us a rare lizard, and even tried to catch a snake, which was amusing. She was a bright and beautiful guide. By the way, she mentioned that she is a classmate of the mayor of Ishigaki.

3200円では、安いと思えたツアーでした。自称ロザンヌ似のキレイなガイドさんのお話が楽し過ぎて朝5時に家を出て参加した、眠たい私でしたが、話が おもしろいので、目が覚めました。山林にはいると、珍しいトカゲを捕まえて見せてくださったり、蛇まで、つかもうと笑っ
明るい美人のガイドさんでした。ちなみに、石垣市長と同級生だそうです。

I made a reservation after looking at the map. I was told over the phone that booking through this site would be a good deal, so I made my reservation here. The guide not only provides transportation but also entertains us with various stories and photos. Even though I'm not good at swimming, I received great support, which was very helpful.

まっぷるをみて予約しました。このサイトから予約したらお得だとお電話で教えてもらったので、こちらで予約。
ガイドさんは送迎もしてくれる上、色んなお話や写真でもてなしてくれます。
泳ぎが苦手な私でも、精一杯のサポートをしていただけるので助かりました。

The stand-up paddleboarding experience at Kabira Wan, the snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and the Tarzan jump at the waterfall were all amazing. I participated alone, but I felt like I made a friend with the guide, and I was very satisfied.

カビラワンでのサップ体験、青の洞窟のシュノーケリングツアー、滝壺でのターザンジャンプ、どれもこれも最高でした。1人参加でしたが、ガイドさんと友達になれた気がして、大満足です

The morning mangrove stand-up paddleboarding was great, but in the afternoon during snorkeling, the guide forgot the marine shoes... which was a mistake. I had to walk on the rough road to the beach in flip-flops, causing blisters. I wore fins over the flip-flops and explored the Blue Cave in them, which really damaged my feet (￣∇￣).

If the marine shoes hadn't been forgotten, it would have been just a fun memory, but now there's also a painful memory added to it. That said, looking back, it has become a good memory.

I am giving this evaluation with hopes for improvement.

午前中のマングローブSUPまでは良かったのですが、午後からのシュノーケルで担当ガイドさんがマリンシューズを忘れる…というミスをしてしまいました。ビーチに行くまでの悪路をビーサンで歩き、鼻緒が靴擦れ。ビーサンの上からフィンをして、青の洞窟の中もビーサンで散策と、かなり足にダメージが(￣∇￣)
マリンシューズの忘れ物がなければ楽しい思い出だけでしたが、痛い思い出もプラスされてしまいました。
とはいえ、今となればそれも良い思い出ですが。

改善の期待を込めてこちらの評価にさせて頂きます。

I had a full-day experience. I'm grateful to the staff who kindly supported me with a smile, no matter how slow my swimming was.
It seems that Kabira Bay can be rough, so we ended up doing mangrove SUP, but it was very calm, which I actually preferred!
As others have mentioned, I received the photos right away.
Thank you, Suga-chan, for the wonderful day!

1日つきっきり体験させていただきました。どんなに泳ぎが遅くてもニコニコ対応してくださったスタッフさんに感謝です。。
川平湾は荒れやすいらしく、マングローブのSUPになりましたが、非常に穏やかで私にはむしろ良かったと思います！
他の人も書いてますが、写真もすぐにもらえました。
スガちゃん1日ありがとうございました。

I really wanted to go to Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave, and I found this tour just in the nick of time! Thank you for accommodating my last-minute reservation ^_^
The guide's hospitality was incredible!
Everyone was so kind, and I was truly moved. They also took some really beautiful photos.

P.S. Was there another photo of me diving while snorkeling?

川平湾と青の洞窟にはどうしても行きたくて、予約ギリギリで見つけたツアーでした！ギリギリの予約で対応してくださってありがとうございます^_^
ガイドさんのホスピタリティが半端ない！
皆さん優しくて感動しました。写真もすごく綺麗に撮ってくださいます。

p.s.シュノーケリングの飛び込んでいる写真もう一枚ありませんでしたか？

At first, I made a reservation through another site, but I was kindly informed over the phone that booking through VELTRA would be more advantageous. The instructor on the day was also very polite, and I was able to easily enjoy both SUP and snorkeling for the first time. They took a lot of photos, so I think it will become a wonderful travel memory.

最初は他のサイトから予約したのですが、VELTRAから予約するとお得だとご丁寧にお電話で教えてもらいました。
当日のインストラクターの方も大変丁寧で、初めてのSUPもシュノーケリングも難なくできました。写真もたくさん撮っていただけるので、素晴らしい旅の思い出になると思います。

The wind was strong, so instead of SUP at Kawahira Bay, we did SUP on the river, but it was still a lot of fun. There were plenty of activities like snorkeling and exploring caves, so I was satisfied. The staff's polite service was also great.

風が強く川平湾でのSUPではなく、川でのSUPとなりましたが十分楽しかったです。
シュノーケル、洞窟など盛りだくさんでしたので満足しました。
従業員の方も丁寧な接客も良かったです。
