I thought it would be difficult to visit all these places in one day using public transportation like buses and boats, so I signed up for the tour.
For lunch, we had a variety of Okinawan side dishes served in a bento box. It was delicious and served smoothly.
I was charmed by the cuteness of the water buffalo. The affection the water buffalo cart drivers and the bus driver had for the animals was clearly conveyed through their conversations. While riding the water buffalo cart, the sound of the sanshin and the songs were wonderful. The guide's knowledge about the mangroves was impressive and made the experience enjoyable.
I chose to do a bus tour on Taketomi Island. Looking at the map, I thought walking would be impossible, and my daughter was looking forward to searching for star sand. Even though it was winter, it was hot, so taking the bus was a good decision.
Each island has its own charm, and if I had more time, I would have loved to explore more. It was a very satisfying tour in just one day. Even now that I'm back, I still think about it and feel a sense of lingering joy. Thank you very much.

Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, we were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to the guide's entertaining stories. The underwater scenery viewed from the glass-bottom boat met our expectations, and everyone on board was impressed. It's the same at every tourist spot that there are many Chinese tourists. On the tour, it felt more relaxing since it was just Japanese people on the bus, on the boat, and during meals.

You can efficiently visit the three islands of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi. Each of these islands has its own unique characteristics, making the experience refreshing. The experience of riding a water buffalo cart to cross the sea is truly something unique to Okinawa! You can immerse yourself in the "Okinawa" you’ve imagined from TV and other media.
Island hopping can be a hassle with the need to make vehicle reservations for each island, but since this was a tour, it was easy to leave everything to them. On Yufu Island and Taketomi Island, we had free time, so I didn’t feel the typical restrictions of a tour. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore Iriomote Island a bit more, but I think even if I had gone on my own, time would have been a limiting factor.
西表、由布、竹富の3島を効率よくまわれます。この3島は、どの島も特色があってまわっていて新鮮でした。移動に関しても、水牛車に乗って海を渡る体験は、まさに沖縄ならでは!テレビなどを見て思い描いていた「沖縄」をたくさん摂取できます。
アイランドホッピングは、島ごとに乗り物予約したりと手間ですが、ツアーなので全部丸投げできて楽でした。由布島、竹富島ではフリーだったので、ツアー特有の不自由さも感じなかったです。欲を言えば、もう少し西表島もまわりたかったですが、多分自分でまわっても時間的に限界だっただろうと思います。
Sunscreen and a parasol are essential.
日焼け止め、日傘必須です。

First, I took the Super Dream boat from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island. Right away, I went up the river for the first time on Iriomote Island. A wonderful guide explained the mangroves, and I was immediately impressed! Next, I crossed to Yubu Island on a water buffalo cart, where a local guide played the sanshin and sang local songs. Yubu Island was also fantastic, earning another high mark! Then, I headed to Taketomi Island on the Super Dream. There, a charming young woman who handles the water buffalo gave explanations and played beautiful songs on the sanshin, which was another highlight! The weather was great, the cost performance was excellent, and it was just the best! I definitely want to come back! Highly recommended!

I thought the main attraction was crossing to Yubu Island by water buffalo. However, what truly moved us was the cruise while overlooking the endless mangroves. It was wonderful. Since we were on the first boat of the day, the river was calm, and the reflection of the mangroves and sky on the mirror-like water was beautiful. The boatman's explanations were also thorough.
Yubu Island is a typical tourist spot, and we were able to enjoy it in full tourist mode. It was compactly organized, so we could participate on the day of our return, which was very good.
水牛で由布島に渡る事がメインだと思って申し込んでいました。
しかし私たちが感動したのは、見渡す限りのマングローブを見ながらのクルーズでした。素晴らしかった。その日最初の船だったので、川は静かで鏡面のような水面に映るマングローブと空が美しい。船頭さんの説明も丁寧でした。

I wanted to book a cycling tour around 3 PM with the water buffalo cart and glass boat, but when I expressed my desire to make a reservation to the rental cycle bus staff, I was met with an incredibly rude response. It felt as if they didn't want to take my reservation at all, speaking to us in a condescending manner. Since we came all this way to travel, we wanted to experience various activities, and after having a fun time with the water buffalo cart, this treatment ruined everything. The attitude and tone made it feel like they found tourists bothersome, which left a bad impression.
I was so taken aback by the service that I spoke directly to the driver, emphasizing that we came to Taketomi Island to enjoy our time and spend money. The rental cycle staff were all truly unfriendly. Are they overwhelmed by the increasing number of tourists? Do they not want customers? It's common for tourists to be unaware of certain things, so I wished for a more kind and polite response. I was told things like, "Are you really going to ride with such little time left?" and directed to another company with a short time frame, being passed around to three different companies. Even with only about an hour, I was able to return the bike with ample time and visit the Star Sand Beach I wanted to go to.
To disregard customer requests and say from the start that it’s impossible with such little time is the lowest level of service in the hospitality industry. I was truly frustrated. I hope this is not a reflection of the local or island culture, and I would like to request an improvement in customer service. The staff at Super Dream Tourism were incredibly polite and helpful, and the guide for the water buffalo cart was excellent. Therefore, the stark contrast in service was even more disappointing.
水牛車、グラスボートのコースで15時くらいからサイクリングを予約したかったのですが、レンタルサイクルコースのバスの方に予約したい旨を伝えるとものすごく感じの悪い対応をされました。予約してもらいたくないのかな?ってくらいの上から物を言う態度で私たちはせっかく旅行に来たから色々体験したいし、水牛車で楽しく過ごした後にこの応対だったので全てが台無しになりました。旅行客がうっとうしいような態度、言い方をされて気分も悪いかったです。
あまりの応対に運転手の方にも直接言いましたが、せっかく時間、お金をかけて旅行を楽しむ為に竹富島まで来てるんです。レンタルサイクルの運転手の方は皆さん本当に感じが悪いです。旅行客が増えてめんどいのか?お客さんに来てほしくないのか?観光客はわからないことが当たり前なのでもっと親切、丁寧に対応していただきたかったです。今からだと時間がないのに乗るんですか?みたいな事を言われましたし、最終の時間が短いからあっちの会社に行って!みたいなことを言われ3社をたらい回しにされました。1時間くらいしか時間がなくてもきちんと余裕のある時間を残して返却できましたし行きたかった星の砂の浜にも行く事ができました。
お客さんの要望も聞かずはなからそんな時間じゃ無理!みたいな事でせっかくの観光を台無しにするのは接客業としては最低な応対です。本当に腹が立ってしかたなかったです。それが県民性、島民性とは思いたくないので接客態度の改善をお願いしたいです。スーパードリーム観光の受け付けの方はものすごく丁寧に案内をしてくれましたし、水牛車のガイドの方も最高でした。なのであまりにも違う対応が余計にガッカリでした。

The wind had been strong since the day before, so I was worried about seasickness and bought some motion sickness medication just in case, but the large ferry was stable, and it seemed I didn't need the medication after all.
I purchased a premium seat for the segment from Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island, and I was able to take photos both indoors and on the deck, which made for great memories! The mangrove cruise was also comfortable with a pleasant breeze.
The bus tour on Iriomote Island featured a wonderful guide with a great sense of humor. I was impressed by the water buffalo on my first-ever water buffalo cart ride! The sanshin music and singing added to the Okinawan atmosphere, making it a fantastic time! The tour of Yubu Island (the botanical garden) was also enjoyable, and the lunch was delicious. The only slight regret was missing the free commemorative photo with the water buffalo.
This was my second visit to Taketomi Island, and I remembered strolling through the village while being amazed by the scenery last time. Even though it had been over a decade, I thought I could have the same experience, so I chose the free walk plan, which turned out to be a mistake. Both my husband and I were exhausted just reaching the village, and we ended up resting at a café. I can't help but feel that if we had chosen the bus tour, this day trip would have surely been "the best!"
Now that we're in our 60s, it seems best to choose plans that don't overestimate our physical strength. The hotel pick-up and drop-off service was also very appreciated. Thank you for all your help!
前日から風が強かったため、船酔いが心配で、酔い止めの薬を念のため買って呑みましたが、大型フェリーで安定感があり、薬は要らなかったようです。
西表島から竹富島への区間は、プレミアムシートを購入しましたが、室内でもデッキでも写真撮影ができて、いい思い出になりました!

西表島のバス観光は、ユーモアのセンスに溢れた観光案内が素晴らしかったです。人生初の水牛車も賢くて働き者の水牛に感動! 三線と歌も沖縄の雰囲気が楽しめて最高の時間でした! 由布島(植物園)の観光も楽しく、ランチも美味しかったです。水牛との無料の記念写真撮影を逃したのだけが若干心残りです。
竹富島は2回目で、前回景色に感動しながら集落をぶらぶら歩いた記憶があったので、あれから十数年経っているにも拘らず、同じ体験ができるものと思い、フリーウォークプランを選んだのが失敗でした。主人も私も集落まで辿り着くだけで足が疲れてしまい、カフェで休憩して終わりました。バス観光を選んでいたら、今回の日帰りツアーはきっと「最高でした!」を選べたのにと思うとその点だけが残念でなりません。やはり、60代になったので、自分たちの体力は過信せずに無理をしないプランを選ぶのが一番のようです。
ホテルへの送迎もとても有難かったです。大変お世話になりました!

The boatman during the mangrove tour skillfully controlled the boat while sharing fascinating stories about the ecosystem, and he was able to spontaneously respond to the rare creatures that appeared, which was very captivating.
Additionally, the interactions between the guide and the water buffalo conveyed a strong sense of trust. The buffalo cart moved along while the guide explained things to the guests, and the harmony created with the singing and the sanshin was truly moving.
Lunch was also delicious, made with local ingredients. Although I participated alone, the staff provided thorough explanations, so I didn't feel confused at all.
特に印象に残ったのはマングローブの遊覧と水牛車でした。
マングローブ遊覧の船頭さんは安全に船をコントロールしつつ
生態系の興味深いお話しをしつつ突発的に現れる珍しい生物もアドリブで
対応されていてとてもひきつけられました。
また水牛車のガイドさんと水牛さんとのやりとりが随所にあり信頼関係がひしひしと伝わってきました。
牛車の進行・お客に説明しながらさらに唄三線となんだか調和がとれている
感じが感動的でした。
昼ごはんも地元の材料を使ってあり、おいしくいただけました。
一人参加でしたがスタッフの方が丁寧に説明していただけたので
戸惑うことはありませんでした。

It was my first time visiting the remote islands, and we were able to efficiently and enjoyably tour three islands. The time allocation was just right for us. Riding a bicycle on Taketomi Island, there are several gentle ups and downs on the road leading to the coast.
初めての離島だったので、効率よく楽しく3島巡りが出来ました。時間配分も私達にはちょうど良かったです。竹富島の自転車こぎは海岸を目指す道路は何ヶ所かゆるやかなアップダウンがあります。

It was a very enjoyable day with the mangrove tour in Iriomote Island, the experience of crossing to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart for the first time, and the water buffalo cart sightseeing in Taketomi Island. I would love to visit again.
西表島のマングローブ遊覧と始めての由布島、水牛車に乗っての島へ渡る体験、竹富島の水牛車観光と、とても楽しめた一日でした。また、訪れたいです。

Even in winter, the UV rays were strong. It might be a good idea to have a hat or a parasol.
