It was my first time exploring the Blue Cave, and the guide was very kind and made me feel at ease while enjoying the experience. The water clarity was outstanding, and I was thrilled to swim with colorful fish while snorkeling!

初めての青の洞窟探検でしたが、ガイドさんが親切に案内してくれて安心して楽しめました。海の透明度が抜群で、シュノーケリングではカラフルな魚たちと泳げて感動しました！

Había tenido experiencias con otras empresas de la zona en las que te llevan a hacer Snorkel con un barco a zonas muy bonitas. En este caso, la actividad se realizó en una playa de la ciudad en la que no había demasiado que ver en cuanto a veces, y los corales tampoco eran demasiado bonitos. En cuanto a la parte del kayak fue un paseo agradable con nuestro instructor Hiro, pero igualmente, eché en falta más información sobre la fauna de la zona, y el poder, haber avisado más especies.

I was able to visit many tourist spots in one day. Unfortunately, there were some disappointing parts due to the rain, but I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice.

多くの観光地を1日で巡ることができました。あいにくの雨で残念な部分もありましたが、雰囲気は十分に味わえました。天気がよければ最高だったと思います。

I was very happy to see various fish, clownfish, and sea turtles. The staff understood the points well, and I was able to get a good sense of the underwater scenery.

さまざまな魚、クマノミ、ウミガメが見れてとても良かったです。スタッフの方がポイントを良く理解していて、海底の様子が良く分かりました。

You can efficiently visit all the points you want. The guide was attentive and wonderful, and I enjoyed listening to songs played on the sanshin. The driver also drove safely, making it a fantastic time.

行きたいポイントを効率よく回ってもらえます。
ガイドさん付きでガイドさんのお話が丁寧で素晴らしく三線での歌も聞かせてもらえて楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも安全運転で最高な時間でした。

You can only use cash or a card on the bus, so it was convenient to be able to pay with a card or PayPay in advance. When you show it to the driver upon boarding, you receive a paper ticket. It was very convenient.

バスでは現金かカードしか使えず、事前にカードまたはPayPay決済ができて楽でした。乗車時に運転手さんに掲示すると、紙のチケットをもらえます。とても便利でした。

With the wonderful guidance of the bus guide, I had a very fulfilling sightseeing experience. I was a bit anxious about renting a car alone in an unfamiliar place. I was able to visit almost all the places I wanted, and the itinerary had a decent amount of flexibility, which was great.

バスガイドさんのとても素晴らしいガイド付きで、大変充実した観光ができました。知らない土地で1人レンタカーはちょっと不安で。行きたいところはほぼ行けたし、行程もそこそこ余裕があって良かったです。

The staff is very kind and has a good smile. But due to the bad weather, we didn't have the chance to take the glass boat; it's a little bit of a pity about that.

The Mangrove Kayak Tour was a fun and enjoyable activity, set in a beautiful mangrove environment. The duration was just right—not too long or tiring. Unfortunately, the Blue Cave part was changed to a beach snorkeling spot due to weather conditions, but that area turned out to have a rich marine ecosystem. We were lucky to see two sea turtles and beautiful fish —it was an amazing experience overall. Our tour guide, sorry I forgot her name. is incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and full of energy.

Phanton Island really lives up to its name — it’s so unreal in its beauty. Snorkeling was fun, though the area we went to that day was just okay — we mainly saw corals, with not many fish or sea turtles around. Still, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience overall.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, I couldn't experience snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but I was guided to a hidden gem not listed on Google Maps for a snorkeling experience! There were so many fish, and the sea was truly beautiful; it felt like I was swimming inside an aquarium! The instructor was very kind and taught us well, making the experience enjoyable! Thank you very much. I would like to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

天候などの都合で残念ながら青の洞窟でのシュノーケル体験はできなかったのですが
Googleマップに記載のない知る人ぞ知る
海に案内していただきシュノーケル体験をしました！！
魚もたくさんいて、海は本当に綺麗で
まるで水族館の水槽の中で泳いでる気分でした！！！
インストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただき楽しく体験ができました！
ありがとうございました。
また、石垣島に行く際は利用したいと思います。

In the morning, I picked up my glass boat tickets and headed to Kabira Bay by bus. I was moved by the breathtakingly beautiful scenery! In the afternoon, I went snorkeling. The weather was perfect, the water clarity was high, and the corals were clearly visible. I was able to enjoy the colorful fish, and I was very satisfied. It was worth the effort to prepare and be in great shape for this experience.

午前中はグラスボートのチケットを受け取り、路線バスで川平湾へ向かいました。息をのむほど美しい光景に感動！ 午後からはシュノーケリング。天候にも恵まれ、透明度が高く、サンゴもくっきりと見えました。色とりどりの魚たちを楽しむことができ、大満足です。 体調を整え、万全の準備で臨んだ甲斐がありました。

We had a snorkeling tour experience as a couple! It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and he was really looking forward to snorkeling there. Although it was a very windy day in late October, we changed our plan for snorkeling, and thanks to the exciting explanations from our guide and the beautiful blue sea, it turned out to be a very satisfying tour. With a knowledgeable and experienced guide, we were able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind, so I definitely recommend this tour when you visit Ishigaki Island!

カップルでシュノーケリングツアー体験をさせていただきました！
私は初めての石垣島、彼は石垣島ではぜひシュノーケリングがしたいということでとても楽しみに伺いました。
10月後半でかなり風が強い日だったため、プランを変更してのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんのワクワクする説明と、綺麗な青い海に大満足のツアーとなりました。
知識と経験豊富なガイドさんがいてくれたおかげで、安心して体験することができたので、ぜひ石垣島に来た際はこちらのツアーでお願いしてみてほしいです！

The weather was nice, and the sea was beautiful and pleasant. However, the wind was strong, and there was a bit of rocking on the boat. The water was also a little murky, so I couldn't see the turtles I was looking forward to. I want to try again!

天気が良く、海がキレイで気持ちよかったです。
ただ風が強く、船の揺れがちょっとありました。
海の中も少し濁っていて、楽しみにしていたカメは見られませんでした。
またリベンジしたいです‼️

The light inside the cave was magical and very beautiful! The guide provided detailed information about the marine life, which made it even more enjoyable. The snorkeling had great visibility, making it the best experience!

洞窟内の光が幻想的でとても美しかったです！ガイドさんが海の生き物について詳しく教えてくれたので、より楽しめました。シュノーケリングも透明度が高く、最高の体験になりました！

The scenery of the Blue Cave was truly beautiful, and I was continuously moved! The guide provided a thorough explanation, so I felt safe exploring. Snorkeling was amazing as I got to swim with colorful fish!

青の洞窟の景色が本当に美しく、感動の連続でした！ガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくれたので安心して探検できました。シュノーケリングではカラフルな魚と泳げて最高でした！

The stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Kabira Bay and snorkeling in the Blue Cave were canceled due to bad weather, so I participated in mangrove SUP instead... and it turned out to be so much fun! 🌿✨
It was my first time doing SUP, but the guide explained the tips clearly, and I was able to get on the board right away. During the experience, I learned interesting facts about the mangroves while relaxing and enjoying nature.
The guide also did a demonstration of a three-point handstand, which was amazing! 👏🏻
They took a lot of photos and videos, and it truly became a wonderful memory. 📸 I want to join again on a sunny day next time.

川平湾でのSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングが悪天候で中止になり、代わりにマングローブSUPに参加しましたが…結果的にすごく楽しかったです！🌿✨
初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドさんがコツをわかりやすく教えてくださって、すぐに乗れるようになりました。体験中はマングローブの豆知識も教えてもらいながら、自然の中でリラックスしながら楽しめました。
ガイドさんが三点倒立のデモンストレーションをしてくれてすごかったです👏🏻
たくさん写真や動画も撮ってくださって、本当に良い思い出になりました📸次は天気のいい日にまた参加したいです。

I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave in Ishigaki Island. I was relieved to enjoy the experience knowing they checked the weather before we set off. The cave, illuminated by light, was incredibly magical, and I was moved by the beauty of the crystal-clear sea. It was a special experience that allowed me to fully enjoy a marine world I usually can't see, leaving me with wonderful memories of my trip.

石垣島の青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。当日の天気を確認してから出発してくれたので安心して楽しめました。光が差し込む洞窟内はとても幻想的で、透明度の高い海の美しさに感動しました。普段は見ることのできない海の世界を満喫でき、旅の思い出に残る特別な体験になりました。

The tour was held despite the heavy rain that had been ongoing for about two days prior to my reservation. When we arrived at the cave, we found out that it was flooded, and unfortunately, the visit was canceled (crying). We couldn't relax at either Kabira Bay or the observation deck due to the storm, and we weren't able to take many photos... However, we enjoyed a delicious lunch.

Since we can't control the weather, I will consider this a valuable experience, but it turned out to be a disappointing tour.

予約していた2日ほど前から続いていた大雨の中で催行されました。
楽しみにしていた鍾乳洞に着いたところで、鍾乳洞内が冠水しているとかで、まさかの見学中止に(泣)
川平湾でも展望台でも暴風雨でゆっくりできず、写真もなかなか撮れずじまい…
お昼は美味しくいただきました。

天候はどうすることもできないのでこれも貴重な体験かと思うことにしますが、残念なツアーとなってしまいました。

I use it every month. When you buy directly from the bus driver, it's cash only. Since the transaction is completed before boarding, I recommend purchasing with a credit card.

毎月利用させてもらっております。バス乗務員様から直接買うと現金のみです。乗車前に完結致しますので、クレジットカード購入をおすすめ致します。

Unfortunately, due to the rain, it wasn't the tour I had imagined. While it was understandable that we couldn't ride the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, we were forced to peek into the pearl center due to bus parking issues, and the Awamori shop we were introduced to was closed... I at least wanted to visit the souvenir shops on the main parking lot side. The taste of the hamburger for lunch was also just okay...

However, the bus guide and driver were polite and entertaining.

生憎の雨降りということもあり、想像していたようなツアーではありませんでした。
川平湾でグラスボートに乗れなかったのは仕方がないのですが、バスの駐車の関係で真珠センターを無理やり覗かされ、紹介された泡盛の店は休業…
せめてメインの駐車場側で土産物店をまわりたかった。
昼食のハンバーグの味もイマイチ…

バスガイドさんとドライバーさんは丁寧で面白い方でした。

It's definitely a good deal. Since it's a local bus, it is naturally used by residents as well. There is limited space for luggage, and with many users, it might be challenging for those with children. There may also be times when you can't board due to exceeding capacity, so I think it's necessary to plan ahead.

お得なのは間違いないです。
路線バスなので当然、地元住民も利用されるバスです。
スーツケースを置く場所も限られており、利用者も多いので子連れは大変かも。
定員オーバーで乗れない場合もありますので、余裕ある利用が必要かと思います。

Embarrassingly, I was thinking, "A glass-bottom boat, really?" as I was about to board. However, the captain knew the spots very well and showed us many clownfish and sea turtles that even kids know about. Thanks to that, my child was really excited!

恥ずかしながらグラスボートなんて・・・なんて思いながら乗ろうとしてました。
でも船長さんはポイントをよく知っていて、子供でも知っているクマノミやウミガメをたくさん見せてくれました。おかげでうちの子も大興奮してました。

I was glad that I had purchased a prepaid card in advance since Suica and other options couldn't be used in Ishigaki, so I didn't have to pay cash every time! I think using the bus to get around is cost-effective! This time, I was traveling with a two-year-old, so it was great that they napped during the ride and I could carry them when getting off, which saved a lot of time.

石垣はSuicaなどが使用できないので予め買っておいたことで、イチイチお金を支払わなくて良かったです！
バスを駆使し色々周る方は安上がりだと思います！
今回は２歳児を連れての旅行だったので乗車中昼寝し下車時には抱っこというのがほぼ毎回で時短になって良かったです◎

In April of this year, I participated in a snorkeling tour with Pipi in Miyako Island, and it was so great that I decided to go with Pipi again for this trip to Ishigaki Island! There was a plan on VELTRA called "Second Person Free," so I greedily joined the "Kabira Bay SUP & Mysterious Island Snorkeling Full-Day Tour." The day before, I received a message from Pipi saying, "Due to weather conditions, the snorkeling point will be changed to Osaki Beach," but it turned out to be a great decision! I think it resulted in a very fulfilling day.

The snorkeling at Osaki Beach allowed us to see beautiful fish and coral reefs, and although there was a bit of wind during the SUP at Kabira Bay, I was able to paddle while standing on the board! During the drive to our destination, the staff's stories were enjoyable, and their attention to the participants during the tour was very considerate, which made it easy to engage in the activities with peace of mind.

After the tour, I think it's a nice touch that we could use the shower booths near the island terminal for free. I highly recommend this experience!

今年4月に宮古島で参加したpipiさんのシュノーケリングツアーがとても良かったので、今回の石垣島でもpipiさんにしよう！と決めていました。
VELTRAさんで【2人目無料】というプランがあったので、今回欲張って［川平湾SUP&幻の島シュノーケル1日ツアー］に参加しましたが、前日にpipiさんから「天候の影響で、シュノーケルポイントが大崎ビーチに変更になる」との連絡を頂きましたが、結果大正解！で、非常に充実した1日になったと思います。
大崎ビーチでの美しい魚たちや珊瑚礁が見られるシュノーケリングと、川平湾でのSUPは少々風はありましたがボードの上で立ち漕ぎすることもできました！
車で目的地まで移動中も、スタッフさん方のお話も楽しかったし、ツアー中の参加者への気配りも大変細やかだったので安心してアクティビティに挑むことができました。
終了後は、離島ターミナル近くのシャワーブースで、シャワーが無料で利用できるのもポイントだと思います。本当におすすめです！

I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave in Ishigaki Island. It was much more beautiful than in the photos, and seeing the "blue world" with my own eyes was truly moving. Inside the cave, sunlight streamed in, making the water surface sparkle, creating a fantastical atmosphere.

I felt a bit nervous before entering the water, but the guide explained everything carefully, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. Even if you're not a strong swimmer, you can participate without any issues thanks to the life jackets and flotation devices. The fish came very close, and I was healed by the colorful corals and marine life.

Not only inside the Blue Cave, but the outside sea was also incredibly clear and beautiful. Everywhere you looked was picturesque, making you want to stay in the water forever. The guide took many photos, and all of them turned out beautifully, creating great memories.

It's a wonderful tour where you can fully experience the charm of the sea and nature. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ishigaki Island; you definitely should experience it!

石垣島の青の洞窟シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
写真で見るよりもずっと綺麗で、実際に自分の目で見た“青の世界”は本当に感動的でした。
洞窟の中は太陽の光が差し込んで、水面がキラキラと光っていて、幻想的な雰囲気に包まれます。

海に入る前は少し緊張しましたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれて安心して楽しめました。
泳ぎがあまり得意じゃなくても、ライフジャケットや浮き具があるので問題なく参加できました。
魚たちもすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれて、色とりどりの珊瑚や生き物たちに癒されました。

青の洞窟の中だけじゃなく、外の海も透明度が高くて本当にきれい。
どこを見ても絵になる景色で、ずっと海の中にいたくなるような気分でした。
ガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれて、どれも綺麗に撮れていていい思い出になりました。

海と自然の魅力をたっぷり感じられる素敵なツアーです。
石垣島に来たら、絶対に体験してほしいと思えるくらいおすすめです！

I signed up for SUP & the Blue Cave, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to bad weather. However, I was able to do snorkeling at a different spot. They suggested canoeing and SUP at different times, but in the end, I only did snorkeling. I was indecisive and called multiple times, and I am grateful to the tour company for their support. My first snorkeling experience was amazing. I wondered if there could be a better spot than this. I had no worries at all. I highly recommend it even for those who are not confident swimmers, as you definitely won't be left behind.

SUP&青の洞窟で申し込みましたが、天候が悪く、残念ながらSUP&青の洞窟は中止。でも違うポイントでシュノーケルだけできました。カヌーや違う時間でのSUP等、提案いただきましたが結局シュノーケルだけに。何度も迷い電話で対応していただき、催行会社の方には感謝です。初シュノーケルは最高の体験でした。これ以上に良いポイントなんてあるの？と思いました。不安も一切ありませんでした。絶対に置いてかれたりしないので、泳ぎに自信のない方にもお薦めです。

In the morning, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the Miyara River, where mangroves thrive on both sides. It was my first time doing SUP, but they provided a proper lecture, and the pace was adjusted to match the group, allowing us to enjoy nature at a relaxed pace. In the afternoon, we had the opportunity for serious snorkeling. The route the guide took us on exceeded my expectations. You can receive photo data, but I recommend bringing your own camera. Depending on the weather, the visibility was amazing, allowing us to see deep into the ocean, along with the coral reefs and many fish swimming around—an incredible experience in nature.

午前はマングローブが川の両側に生い茂る宮良川でSUPをしました。初めてのSUPでしたが、ちゃんとレクチャーしてくれますし、進むペースもグループで合わせてくれるので、ゆったりした気持ちで自然を満喫しながら楽しめます。午後は本格的なシュノーケルが出来ます。ガイドさんが連れて行ってくれるルートは期待以上でした。写真データも頂けますがご自身のカメラの持参をおすすめ。天候によるのでしょうが、海の深い所まで見える透明度と珊瑚礁、たくさんの魚が泳ぐ自然を体験出来て最高です。

I recommend Ishigaki Island because with the East Bus 5-Day Free Pass, you can almost go anywhere you want. Since you can only buy the bus pass with cash, it's great that VELTRA allows credit card payments.

石垣島はこの東バス５日間フリーパスがあれば行きたい所はほぼ行けるのでおすすめです。
バスで買うには現金一択なので、クレカ決済ができるVELTRAはいいですね。

The transparency is incredible. It's really beautiful.
I arrived earlier than my reservation time, and they let me board the previous boat. There's a dock a little distance away from the information center.

They take you to spots like sea turtles and Nemo.

透明度がハンパないです。めっっちゃ綺麗です。
予約の時間より早く到着したところ、1つ前の船に乗せてくれました。案内所から少し離れた所に船着き場があります。

ウミガメやニモ等のスポットに連れて行ってくれます。
