I signed up for a tour on the afternoon of the day I arrived. I took a direct bus from the airport to the terminal, where I was able to check my luggage, and on the way back, I was taken to my hotel. Unfortunately, it was a day with light rain, but I enjoyed my experience on Taketomi Island enough for my first visit. If I go again, I would like to take my time sightseeing more.
着いた日の午後のツアーに申し込みました。空港からバスで直行ターミナルに直行し、荷物を預かってもらい、帰りはホテルまで送ってもらえました。
あいにく小雨がぱらつく日でしたが、初めての竹富島での体験としては十分楽しめました。次回行くことがあれば、もっとゆっくり観光したいと思います。

First, we took a 45-minute boat ride from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island. Upon arriving on the island, the untouched nature created a unique atmosphere that was unlike Ishigaki Island. From the ferry terminal, we headed to Yubu Island. We rode the famous water buffalo cart to cross from Iriomote Island. Being pulled by the water buffalo through the shallow sea was a slow and scenic experience. Of course, the views were spectacular!
On Yubu Island, we were served lunch and enjoyed delicious local cuisine. After lunch, we returned to Iriomote Island for a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River. The cruise, surrounded by nature that you can't experience on the mainland, was very refreshing. The boat then took us back to the ferry terminal, and next, we moved on to Taketomi Island.
Taketomi Island was also enveloped in a relaxed atmosphere, making it feel like a waste to just do a day trip. I found myself wishing to stay longer while freely exploring the island.
There are about three to four boats from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island, so it was convenient to catch a boat at a suitable time. I visited Taketomi Island on a Saturday, but many shops were closed (either for the day or due to early closing hours), so it was a bit of a relief to return to Ishigaki Island a little earlier.
Overall, I returned to Ishigaki Island feeling very satisfied. Depending on the boat schedule, you can leave around 8 AM and return by around 5 PM, which isn’t too early or too late, making it manageable for your body. If you can spare a day, I highly recommend it!
先ずは石垣本島から船で45分くらいの西表島へ。
島に着くと石垣島とはまた違う、自然がそのままの状態で残っており何とも言えない雰囲気。
フェリーターミナルからは由布島へ。名物の水牛車に乗って西表島から渡ります。
遠浅の海の中を水牛に引かれてゆっくりと進んでいきます。もちろんここは絶景!
由布島では昼食が提供され、美味しい郷土料理を食せました。
昼食後は再び西表島に戻り、仲間川でのマングローブクルーズへ。本州では味わえない大自然を感じながらのクルーズは気持ちよかったです。
船はそのままフェリーターミナルへ。次は竹富島に移動です。
竹富島もノンビリした雰囲気に包まれており、日帰りしてしまうのがもったいないほど。ここでゆっくり泊まりたいなと思いながら、島内を自由に散策できました。
竹富島から石垣島への船は3~4本の内の、都合のいい時間の船に乗れればいいので、この点も良かったです。竹富島には土曜日に訪問したのですが、休みのお店(休みとか時間的な営業終了)が多かったので、早めに船で石垣島に戻れてちょっと助かりました。
でも総じて大変満足な気分で石垣島に帰ってきました。朝8時頃から船にもよりますが、17時頃まで、朝早過ぎず帰りも遅過ぎずで身体の負担もそれ程無かったので、1日分の時間が取れるようでしたらオススメいたします。
I recommend visiting on weekdays, excluding weekends and holidays.
土日祝以外の平日の訪問をオススメいたします。

Since it was the New Year after the end of COVID-19, the tour was busy due to the large number of people. We participated this time with three generations because the last time was so enjoyable, but unlike before, our stay on Yufu Island was too short, and we couldn't explore the island leisurely at all. The lunch break was also too short.

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time. I was able to explore efficiently in a short amount of time. The mangroves were high due to the tide, so I couldn't see much of them. The weather was cloudy, so it was disappointing not to see the beautiful sea of Iriomote Island.
The water buffalo cart was fun, different from Taketomi Island. The sanshin and singing were quite lovely as well. Lunch was just normally delicious. Yubu Island was more enjoyable than I had imagined.
Since there was no staff accompanying the tour, I had to wander around each time to find out which boat to transfer to after getting off the ship, which bus to take, and where to line up for the water buffalo ride, constantly asking anyone who looked like a staff member.
Since there were other tours as well, I was guided to different dining locations, which I understand, but I did feel a bit of inefficiency. Overall, I was satisfied.
初めて西表島を訪問しました。短い時間で効率良く回る事が出来ました。
マングローブは満潮で水位が高くあまり見れませんでした。お天気も曇りだったので、せっかくの西表島のキレイな海が見れず残念。
水牛車は竹富島とまた違って楽しかったです。三線と歌もなかなか素敵でした。
お昼ご飯も普通に美味しかったです。由布島は想像以上に楽しかったです。
ツアーに同行する係員がいないので、船を降りてからどのボートに乗り換えるのか、バスはどれに乗るのか、水牛に乗るにはどこに並ぶのか、毎回ウロウロして係員らしき人を見つけては聞きまくりました。
他のツアーも一緒なので、食事場所も別の所に案内されたり、仕方ないとは思いますが、ちょっと効率の悪さを感じました。
全体的には満足です。
After getting off the first ship, you need to find the staff and ask for directions at each stage, or you might confuse it with another tour. It's a simple matter if you just ask.
最初の船を降りてから、各行程は係員を見つけて聞きながら移動しないと、他のツアーと間違える可能性があります。聞けば済む話ですが。

We gathered at the bus terminal near the remote island bus terminal in the morning, and the guide shared a lot of interesting information during the ride, which was very helpful. We will return to the bus terminal after 2 PM, so if the weather and our stamina allow, we can visit nearby islands like Kohama Island. It's great because many of the sightseeing spots are difficult to access without a car.
朝に離島バスターミナル近くのバスターミナルに集合、ガイドが車中も色々話をしてくれてとても参考になります。14時過ぎにはバスターミナルに戻るので体力と天候が許せば小浜島など離島への観光、移動ができます。車が運転できないと観光しづらいところばかりなのでありがたいです。
If the flight is between 2 PM and 3 PM, it might be fine even on the last day. Since there’s lunch as well, it saves the hassle of moving around.
フライトが14時から15時なら最終日でも良いかもしれません。ランチもあるので移動の手間が省けます。

There is a direct bus from the airport to the remote island bus terminal every 30 minutes. After this tour, there are shuttle buses from the ANA Hotel and the former JAL Hotel to the remote island bus terminal. It's recommended for sightseeing on the first day. After a stroll pulled by a water buffalo, you can go cycling with the map you received. You can enjoy a fulfilling afternoon.
空港から集合場所の離島バスターミナルまでは30分毎に直行バスがあります。またこのツアーが終わったあと、ANAホテルと旧JALホテルからは離島バスターミナルから送迎バスがあります。初日の観光にお勧めです。水牛に引かれて散策したあと、貰った地図でサイクリング。充実した午後を過ごせます。

I had a great time exploring Ishigaki Island and Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so the sea wasn't the beautiful blue you see in photos, but I was still moved by the light blue waters of Kabira Bay. For lunch, I enjoyed a set meal with a variety of Okinawan dishes, including some I had never tried before.
Speaking of Taketomi Island, it's famous for its water buffalo. It was a dream of mine to ride one someday, and I was so happy to finally experience it! Orion, the water buffalo, was a relaxed and adorable creature.
After the water buffalo experience, I wasn't quite sure where to go next or what the recommended spots were, so I ended up just wandering around. I would have appreciated a pamphlet with recommended spots or courses for Taketomi Island in advance.
That said, I had a fantastic day overall and was very satisfied.
初の石垣島と竹富島をたくさん楽しめました。あいにくの曇りだったので写真で見るようなブルーの海ではなかったですがそれでも川平湾は水色で綺麗だったので感動しました。ランチは沖縄らしいお惣菜がたくさんある定食で初めて食べるものもあって楽しめました。
竹富島といえば、水牛です。こちらはいつか乗ってみたい!と夢だったので叶って幸せすぎました。水牛のオリオンくんはのんびりマイペースな子で可愛かったです。
竹富島の水牛の後はどこにいくのがたのしいのか?オススメスポットは?といまいち次の行き先が分からずウロウロと散歩していただけになってしまったので、事前に竹富島でのオススメスポットやオススメコースを記載したパンフレットなどいただけたら嬉しかったです。
とはいえ1日たくさん楽しめたので大満足です。
On Taketomi Island, aside from riding the water buffalo, you have free time, so I think it would be beneficial to check out enjoyable places in advance through books or the internet to make the most o
竹富島では水牛にのる以外はフリータイムなので事前に本やネットで楽しめる場所等チェックした方が有意義な時間を過ごせると思います。

The water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island moves slowly due to the buffalo, which shortened our planned rental bicycle time.

I traveled around Yubu Island by bicycle. I had heard that the island is flat with few hills, but there was sand on the roads, causing the bicycle tires to sink in, and there were also some hills. I should have opted for an electric bike.
The mangrove cruise in Iriomote was led by a very good guide, so even though it was my second time, I was able to see it from a new perspective.
由布島での移動を自転車でしました、島自体が平で坂道が少ないと聞いていましたが、道に砂があり、自転車のタイヤがめり込んだり、坂道もあり、電動自転車にすれば良かった。

This was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and I considered going to more remote islands on my own, but I became anxious about the possibility of not being able to secure a ferry reservation, especially given the recent over-tourism I’ve been experiencing in the area. So, I decided to join a tour.
As a result, I was able to efficiently visit three islands and get a glimpse of their charm. The guides were all unique and had their own styles, and they were very good at communicating, which made it a lot of fun.
I think I could have managed to visit each island on my own, but the tour included lunch and transportation with the guide, which felt like a great deal. I realized that starting with a guided tour to explore the highlights and then diving deeper into the places that interest me as a repeat visitor might be the best approach.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, so I was glad I opted for a bus tour instead of walking or biking around Taketomi Island. However, since we traveled by car to the sightseeing spots, the time spent on the island felt a bit short, and I wished I could have stayed longer. I didn’t have a chance to buy souvenirs except on Yubu Island.
The guide for the jungle cruise was positive, saying that even though it was raining, there were still good things about it, which I appreciated. When the guide expressed disappointment about the weather multiple times, I thought that the most disappointed people were the guests who traveled from afar, and I couldn’t help but think they should offer a discount (though not specifically for this tour).
初石垣島、自力でさらに離島に行くことも考えましたが船の予約が取れないこともあると見て、昨今のオーバーツーリズムを日々実感する地域から行くこともあって不安になりツアーに申し込むことに。
結果三島を効率よく巡って魅力の一端を感じることが出来ました。登場したガイドさんも三者三様で個性的で、皆さんお話がお上手でとても楽しかったです。
それぞれの島に行くだけなら自力でも行けたかなとは思いますが、昼食まで付いてガイドさんも送迎も付いてとてもお得感はあり、やはり最初は解説付きで巡って気になるところをリピーターとして深掘りするのが良いのかなと思いました。
あいにく曇り空に時々小雨といった天気だったので竹富島はフリー歩きや自転車にせずバスツアーにしておいて良かったなと思いますが、見どころ地点に車で行く分?時間が短いのでもう少し島内にいたかったなあとは思いました。由布島以外ではお土産を買うチャンスはありませんでした。
ジャングルクルーズのガイドさんは雨だけど逆に良いこともあると前向きに話して下さってありがたかったです。
ガイドさんに何度もお天気を残念がられると一番残念なのは遠方から来る客の方だしじゃあ値引きしてくれと思っちゃうので(こちらのツアーのことではないです)。
The cruise ship in Iriomote Island is on the right side. I think it's better to go towards the front of the water buffalo cart for a more enjoyable experience.
西表島のクルーズ船は右側へ。水牛車はなるべく前の方へ行った方が楽しめると思います。

Since we were visiting various places in a day, it was more about seeing and experiencing different islands compactly rather than taking our time to explore. It was wonderful for that kind of travel. However, there were some inconsistencies in the instructions regarding the restrooms at the port, as they said not to go because it would be crowded, yet others were using them. Given that it was a busy trip, it would have been better if they had provided explanations in advance about where to find restrooms.
天気は良くありませんでしたが、大雨に降られることなく、コンパクトにみたいものが、体験したいことができ、満足の旅でした。日帰りで色んなところを回るので、じっくり色々見たいというよりは、コンパクトに色んな島を見てみたい、体験したいという旅としては素晴らしいです。トイレを港では、混むので行ってはいけないと言いながら、他の方は行っていたりと指示がチグハグなところがありましたので、忙しい旅であるが故に、トイレはどこで行っておく等、事前に説明をしてくれた方が良かったです。
For those who have never been, I recommend it because you can compactly tour various islands. For those who have specific places they want to visit, you might wish you could see a bit more.
行っことがない方にはコンパクトに色んな島を観光できるので、おすすめです。行きたいところ等ある方には、もう少し見たかった
となるかもしれません。

I was able to efficiently visit three islands. I also enjoyed having a little bit of Okinawan cuisine for lunch, which was great.
効率よく3島行くことが出来ました。
お昼ご飯も沖縄料理を少しずつ食べることができたのでよかったです。
I think you'll enjoy cycling or taking a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island even more.
竹富島ではサイクリングか水牛車にした方がより楽しめると思います。

The sata andagi at Kabira Bay is very delicious, served fresh, and highly recommended.
