All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

The glass of the glass boat was clear, allowing us to enjoy the transparency of Kabira Bay even more. When we encountered rays and sea turtles, the captain skillfully maneuvered the boat so that everyone could see them.

グラスボートのガラスがクリアで、川平湾の透明度をさらに楽しめました。エイとウミガメに会えたときに、参加者みんなが見れるように船長さんが船を操作してくれました。

I use this service every time. This time it was for three days, and I got more than my money's worth. Thank you very much.

毎回利用させて頂いております。今回3日間でしたが、元値以上、使わせて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

I made a last-minute reservation for a canoe at Kabira Bay, and I was moved by its beauty beyond my imagination.

On the day of the trip, the weather was clear after the typhoon, and there were few people, which were great conditions. The other members of the group were friendly, and thanks to our cheerful and energetic guide, Yuuki, we were able to enjoy a wonderful time together.

Actually, even though my reservation was confirmed the night before, I received a call that it was fully booked for the morning and would be in the afternoon instead. There were also some misunderstandings about the meeting place, and I was feeling discouraged due to the high-pressure attitude of the phone receptionist. However, thanks to Yuuki and Kabira Bay, those feelings were blown away. Thank you! The night jungle tour was also fun, and I was able to enjoy a starry sky that felt like it was raining down.

I look forward to visiting Ishigaki Island again!

前夜に思い立って予約した川平湾のカヌー。想像以上の美しさに感動しました。
当日は台風後の晴れ、人も少ないという好条件。同じグループの人たちも穏やかで、元気で人懐っこい道産子ガイドのゆうきさんのおかげで和気あいあいと、贅沢な時間を楽しむことができました。

実は、前夜に予約確定してたのに当日の朝に満員だから午後にという連絡をもらい、その後も集合場所の勘違いなどがあり、高圧的な電話受付の方にテンションが下がって行きたくなくなっていたのですが、、、
ゆうきさんと川平湾のおかげで、そんな気持ちも吹き飛びました。ありがとう！夜のジャングルナイトツアーも楽しくて降ってくるような星空を満喫できましたよ。

また石垣島に行ったらよろしくお願いします！

It had been a while since I swam in the ocean, and I was quite tired, but the sea was so beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, which made me very satisfied! There was a little incident where my friend's fin came off, but we were able to keep going without stopping since we got a spare fin!

海で泳ぐのは久々で、かなり疲れたけど、すごく海が綺麗で沢山の魚を見ることができ大満足でした！
途中で友達のフィンが取れるハプニングがありましたが、変えのフィンを貰えたので止まることなく進めました！

The sea at Kabira Bay was calm and very beautiful. We were in a canoe, but the stand-up paddleboarding also looked interesting. If we have the chance to come again, I would like to have Sugichan as our guide again. Thank you, Sugichan!

川平湾の海は静かでとても綺麗でした。
我々はカヌーでしたが、SAPも面白そうでした。次回来る機会があったらガイドはまた杉ちゃんがいいです。
杉ちゃんありがとうございました!

My wife and I, both in our mid-50s, went snorkeling for the first time. At first, I was worried about being unable to breathe through the snorkel and having water enter the mask, wondering how far I could go. However, I gradually got used to it and became more relaxed, allowing me to enjoy the beautiful scenery underwater. The guide's advice was spot on, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Additionally, the stories about Miyako Island were fascinating, and I would like to visit Miyako Island next time. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

私も妻も50代半ばになって初めてのシュノーケリング。最初はシュノーケルをつけての口呼吸ができない、マスクの中に水が入るなどのトラブルが起きて、どこまで行けるかとても心配でした。
しかし、徐々に慣れてきて心にも余裕ができて海中の素敵な景色を見ることができました。
ガイドさんのアドバイスも的確で、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
また、宮古島についての話も興味深く、次回は宮古島へ行ってみたいと思います。
素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

I participated because it was appealing to efficiently visit the main tourist spots. During the bus ride, I was able to hear a wide range of interesting stories from the guide about the history, legends, culture, and industries of Ishigaki Island, as well as trendy spots and souvenir information that would be difficult to reach on my own. Towards the end, the guide's singing of Yaeyama folk songs, including "Tears Are Falling," was also wonderful. I was moved.

主な観光地を効率よく周れるのが魅力で参加しました。バス乗車中は石垣島の歴史や言い伝え、文化、産業の他、流行りのスポット、お土産情報まで、幅広く、自力でリーチ難しいような興味深いお話をガイドさんから聞けましたし、終盤にガイドさんの歌う八重山の民謡も涙そうそうも良かったです。感動しました。

The snorkeling, the phantom island, and the mangrove canoeing were all fantastic experiences. The instructor was very kind and took many photos for us. If I have the opportunity to come back to Ishigaki Island, I would definitely like to experience it again.

シュノーケル、幻の島、マンゴローブカヌーと楽しい時間をくださり最高でした。インストラクターのお兄さんもとても親切で写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。また、石垣島に来る機会があれば是非もう一度体験させていただきたいと思います。

I participated with the children. We were able to see sea turtles perfectly, and it was very exciting. We went further offshore than I expected, and we were able to enjoy it leisurely.

子どもたちと参加しました。
ウミガメもバッチリ見ることができ大興奮でした。思ったよりも沖合まで出てくれて、のんびりと楽しみことができました。

I was able to enjoy the sightseeing bus until my flight around 3:00 PM. They can drop you off at the airport along the way, but it's not too far from the bus terminal to the airport, so I recommend this for your last day.

15:00頃のフライトまで観光バスで楽しめました。途中で空港下車も対応してくれますが、バスターミナルまで戻っても空港まではそんなに遠くないので最終日におすすめします。

I only went from the remote island terminal to Kabira Bay, but the one-way ticket was 1,090 yen, so I'm glad I bought it in advance.

離島ターミナルから川平湾に行っただけでしたけど、片道でも1090円でしたのでチケット買っておいて良かったです。

5-Day Free Pass
You can recover the cost just by going and coming back.
The remaining 4 days are free.
You can purchase it immediately on your smartphone after arriving at the airport.
There's no need to buy it in advance.
Just show the screen to the driver, and the ticket will be issued on the spot.
Moreover, it's a 120-hour pass.
You can effectively use it for 5 nights and 6 days.
It's amazing!

５日間フリーパス
行って帰ってくるだけで回収できます。
残りの４日間は無料。
空港に到着後、スマートフォンで即購入可能。
事前に買う必要がございません。
画面を運転手さんに見せれば、券をその場で発行。
しかも、120時間パス。
実質５泊６日、使えます。
ヤバすぎです。

I participated alone, and as a beginner, I was a bit anxious, but I felt reassured and enjoyed myself because there was a guide for every 7 to 8 people who taught us carefully. They took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory. If anyone is unsure, I definitely recommend joining!

1人参加で、しかも初心者だったので少し不安もありましたが、7〜8人に1人のガイドさんがついて丁寧に教えてくれるので、安心して楽しめました！
写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、素敵な思い出になりました。
迷っている方がいたら、ぜひ参加をおすすめしたいです！

If you purchase in advance, it's convenient because you can just show it to the bus driver when you use it. A one-day free pass is 1,000 yen, and if you pay 2,000 yen, you get a five-day free pass, so it's good to adjust it according to your itinerary. The regular fare from the airport to the bus terminal is 550 yen, so it's a good deal if you use it more than that.

事前に購入しておけば、使うときにバスの運転手さんに見せれば良いので便利。1日フリーパス1000円で2000円だすと５日フリーパスなので、自分の行程にあわせるとよい。空港からバスターミナルまで550円が通常代金なので、それより使うならお得

I was able to efficiently tour the highlights of the island. The guide's explanations were also very good. Thank you for the enjoyable time!

島内のみどころポイントを効率よく観光出来ました。
ガイドさんの説明もとてもよかったです。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

Due to the approaching typhoon, we couldn't go snorkeling, but we enjoyed the canoe experience! While canoeing, the staff was nearby, providing advice on paddling and assisting us when getting on and off the canoe, so I think even beginners can feel at ease. During our travels, they also recommended great places, and we had a wonderful time! I hope the weather will be nice enough for snorkeling next time..☆

台風が近付いていたため、シュノーケルはできず
カヌー体験のみでしたが楽しめました！
カヌーしている際もスタッフの方が近くで見てくれて
漕ぎ方のアドバイスや
カヌーに乗る時や降りるときも手助けしてくださるので
初心者の方でも安心してできると思います(^^)
移動中もおすすめのお店など教えていただき
楽しい時間を過ごせました！
次はシュノーケルも出来る天気になりますように・・☆

In the morning, due to poor visibility, we changed to participate at 12:20. The greatness of nature makes humans feel so small. In the end, we achieved our goal and saw sea turtles, Nemo, and a big fish. The calcification is still serious.

早上因为能见度不好，改为12:20参加，大自然的伟大，人真的太渺小，最后达成目标，看到海龟，尼莫，还有一条大鱼。钙化还是严重的。

Due to strong winds, we did SUP on a different river instead of Kabira Bay. It was SUP while viewing the mangroves, but I would like to experience SUP at Kabira Bay as well. I was worried since it was my first time doing SUP, but thanks to the guide who taught us carefully, I was able to enjoy it without falling.

風が強かったため、川平湾ではなく別の川でのSUPでした。
マングローブを見ながらのSUPでしたが、川平湾でのSUPも体験してみたいです。
初めてのSUPで心配でしたが、ガイドの方から丁寧に教えていただけたため転ぶことなく楽しめました。

This ticket can be used from the airport to the city center, so if you plan to explore Ishigaki Island without using a rental car, it's definitely a great deal. Even though the driver didn't seem to know about Veltra when I showed my smartphone screen, I was able to explain verbally and received the ticket. It prints the date and time of boarding five days later, so you can use it for a full five days, allowing you to really go around and explore.

このチケットは空港から市街地に行く時から使用できるので、レンタカーを使わずに石垣島の中をあちこち観光するつもりなら、絶対お得です。
スマホの画面を見せても、ベルトラのことを運転士さんはご存知ない様子でしたが、口頭で説明して受け取りました。
5日後の日付と乗車した時間を印字してくれるので、まるまる5日間使用できるので、本当にあちこち行くことができました。

I arrived quite early than my reserved time, but I was able to board the next departing boat right away. It was a big tide and low tide, but I was able to see several sea turtles offshore!

After disembarking, I received a call on my mobile a little while later. They said, "Due to the low tide, the sea is murky, so we will be suspending operations for the reserved time. We apologize for the inconvenience. We plan to resume in the evening; what time would you like?"

Of course, I informed them that I had already boarded. I felt warm and fuzzy from their kind response.

予約した時間よりかなり早く到着しましたが、すぐ出航する次の船に乗せてもらうことが出来ました。大潮かつ引き潮でしたが沖で海亀を何頭か見ることが出来ました！
下船後、暫くして携帯に電話がありました。『引き潮で海が濁っているので予約された時間の運行を見合わせます。申し訳ありません。夕方から再開を予定していますが何時になさいますか？』と。
もちろん既に乗せていただいたことをお伝えしました。親切な対応にほっこりしました。

When I came to Ishigaki, I thought I had to go snorkeling, and even though I'm not a great swimmer, I had a wonderful time. The weather was sunny that day, and the beautiful location touched my heart. Once I dove in, I was healed by the stunning sea and the fish I kept watching, which led me to decide to extend my stay in Ishigaki, haha. It's high season, but if I could wish for anything, I would have liked a bit more time.

石垣に来たらやはりシュノーケリングをしないとと思い、あまり泳げない自分でも楽しい時間を過ごせました。
当日晴れていたのもあり、素敵なロケーションで心打たれ、さらに潜ると綺麗な海、魚達を眺め続ける事で心が癒され、石垣に延泊を決めました笑
ハイシーズンなのもありますが、欲を言えばもう少し時間が欲しいなと思いました。

In mid-July, I signed up for SUP at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to not meeting the minimum number of participants, it turned into a half-day snorkeling experience at the Blue Cave. They kindly offered to transport us back on the bus while still wet, so I made sure to apply sunscreen and wore my swimsuit to participate. Even as a first-time snorkeler, they taught us patiently, allowing me to swim without anxiety, and they checked in to see if I was tired.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, so I could look down at the seabed without fear, and I was amazed to see many corals and colorful fish up close. Experiencing the Blue Cave without going to Italy is unique to this place! Since we wore life jackets, I recommend it even for those who are not confident swimmers. Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles, it was the best experience.

7月中旬
川平湾SUP＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングで申し込みましたが、催行人数に満たず青の洞窟シュノーケリング半日になりました。
濡れたままバスで送ってくださるとのことで、しっかり日焼け対策をし水着を来て参加。初めてのシュノーケリングでも、丁寧に教えてくださるので不安なく泳げ、疲れていないかも聞いてくださります。
とにかくキレイな海なので、恐怖心なく海底を覗くことができ、たくさんのサンゴやカラフルな魚を間近に見られることに感動しました。
青の洞窟もイタリアに行かずに体験できるのは、ここだけ！
ライフジャケットも着用しているので、泳ぎに自信がない人にもおすすめです！
ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、最高の体験でした。

I tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time, and thanks to the guide who taught us carefully both on land and on the water, I was able to finish the tour safely and enjoyably! The scenery when I was paddleboarding in such a beautiful place is still fresh in my mind! The guide also shared information about restaurants and spots on Ishigaki Island while we were in the car, so it was a satisfying tour!

初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、ガイドさんが陸と水上で丁寧に教えてくれたので、楽しく安全にツアーを終えることができました！綺麗な場所でSUPした時の光景がまだ頭の中に残っています！
飲食店やスポットなど石垣島のことも車内の中で教えてくれたので、満足なツアーでした！

I only used it for a round trip from Ishigaki Airport to the bus terminal, but it was still worth it. If you're planning to visit various places, I definitely recommend purchasing it. The buses come almost according to the timetable, making it easy to plan your schedule.

石垣空港からバスターミナルまでの往復しか利用しませんでひたが、それでも元は取れます　色々と回るならば是非購入をおすすめ　ほぼ時刻表通りに来るので予定が立てやすいですよ

It was my first time snorkeling in the ocean and stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves, but thanks to the friendly guide and my friends, I had a great time! Playing in the water felt wonderful, and I made many memorable memories. Thank you very much! I hope to have the opportunity to do it again!

海でシュノーケリングをしたりマングローブでSUPするのも初めてでしたが、優しいガイドさんや友達のおかげで楽しめました！
水で遊ぶの気持ちよかったし、心に残る思い出がたくさんできました。
ありがとうございました！また機会があればよろしくお願いします！

I showed the email I received at the bus terminal counter and expressed my desire for a ticket. After confirming my name, I was able to exchange it for a ticket. If you're planning to make a round trip to a tourist destination that's a bit far away, it's more economical to purchase a ticket, and since there's no payment when you get off the bus, it's a smart way to use the service. I often purchase from this site with a high degree of certainty, and it's very convenient. I will use it again next time.

送られてきたメールをバスターミナルのカウンターで表示しチケットが欲しい旨伝えると名前の確認の後チケットに交換していただけました。
少し遠めの観光地を往復するならチケットを購入した方がお得ですし、バスを降りる時に支払いがないのでスマートに利用できます。
かなりの確率でこちらのサイトで購入させて頂いておりとても便利です。
また次も利用します。

The weather was great and the view was amazing. The guide's explanations were very enjoyable, and I was excited the whole way until we reached the island of illusions! The sea was so beautiful that I was surprised.

天気がよくて最高の眺めでした
ガイドの案内もとても楽しくて幻の島につくまでずっとわくわくでした！海が綺麗すぎてびっくりしました

I was so happy to see an incredibly beautiful beach. I'm glad I was finally able to land on the island of my dreams that I've always wanted to visit. The guide was cheerful and shared fun stories, which made the experience really enjoyable. I want to come back again.

めちゃくちゃ綺麗なビーチを見る事ができて幸せでした。ずっと行ってみたかった幻の島に今回上陸できて良かったです。ガイドさんも明るくて楽しいお話をしてくださってすごく楽しめました。また来たいです。

I was nervous during the first activity, but thanks to the kind guidance of the instructor, I had a great time! Thank you very much!

初めてのアクティビティで緊張しましたが、ガイドさんが優しく教えてくださったおかげですごく楽しめました！！ありがとうございました！

It was a fun first experience. I definitely hope to do it again. I was moved by the sea turtles. Nemo was also cute.

初めての体験　楽しかったです。
是非またよろしくお願いします。
ウミガメには感動しました。
ニモも可愛かったです。
