I went with my child, but since they are prone to motion sickness, even though we lined up at the very front, we were told to sit at the very back. As a result, we ended up being the last to get off the bus and the last to line up for the boat and the water buffalo. We were always put at the back, in the hottest seats and the ones with no view, which made for a terrible experience.
I had participated about ten years ago as a repeat customer, but I will never join again and I won't recommend it to anyone.
子連れで行きましたが、バス酔いしやすいので1番前に並んだにも関わらず子どもは1番後ろに乗ってくださいといわれた。必然的にバスから降りるのも最後になり、船や水牛に並ぶのも最後になりました。 なんでも1番後回しにされ1番暑い席や景色の見えない席に案内されて最悪な体験になりました。
10年ほど前に参加したことのあるリピーターでしたが2度と参加しないし人にも勧めませー
子連れは絶対参加しない方がいいです。
Dear Sarami,

We will share your valuable feedback internally and strive to improve our services so that all customers can participate with peace of mind in the future. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you had.
Sincerely,
Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism Staff
さらみ 様

The weather was bad due to the typhoon, and the color of the sea was not what I had hoped for, but it was a tour that exceeded my expectations. I would like to try again on a day with better weather.
台風の影響で天気が悪く海の色も期待したようなものではありませんでしたが、期待以上のツアーでした。改めて天気の良い時に再チャレンジしたいと思います
The last map of Taketomi Island had a scale that was not very accurate, so I got lost a few times because things felt closer or farther away than I expected. Just a heads up for anyone planning to go
最後の竹富島の地図は尺度が適当な絵だったので思ったよりも近かったり遠かったりで道に迷う事数回。その点だけは次に行かれる方はご注意を!

I'm having a very fulfilling experience as I continue to explore everything systematically! We can choose our return boat at either 4 PM or 5 PM. We even get to take pictures with cows! I was a bit greedy and booked both a water buffalo cart ride and cycling at the end, so the cycling time was a bit short, which was a little disappointing. The weather was great, though, and it was the best!
計画的にどんどん体験していくので、とっても充実しています!!帰りの船も16時か17時で自分達で選択出来ます。
牛と一緒に写真を撮れたりします!
欲張って最後、水牛車とサイクリングを予約したので、サイクリングの時間が少なめだったので少し残念でした。お天気も良くて最高でした!
If you are meeting at the location, I think it's a good idea to allow some extra time as you may have to wait a bit to complete the procedures at the counter!
現地集合する場合、カウンターで手続きする時間のに少し並ぶので余裕を持って行くと良いと思います!

Since we participated in the tour with children, I carefully checked the tour details in advance to prepare for things like bathroom breaks and nap times. Everything went according to plan.
The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island was filled with explanations and allowed us to gain a lot of knowledge. We were able to ride the water buffalo cart twice on the round trip to Yufu Island. On Yufu Island, we had an hour and a half of free time, which was almost not enough to fully enjoy it.
On Taketomi Island, we searched for star sand at Kaiji Beach and enjoyed swimming at the shallow Kondoi Beach while looking at the Nishi Sandbar. The return ferry time can be chosen without a reservation, so depending on how the kids were feeling, we could leave early or stay longer on Taketomi Island if the kids were energetic, which was very convenient.
子連れでのツアー参加でしたので、トイレや昼寝など想定しておくためにツアー詳細を事前に念入りに確認していました。全て予定通りに進みました。
西表島でのマングローブクルーズは説明盛り沢山で知識豊富になれます。水牛車は由布島の往復で2回乗れます。由布島では、自由時間1時間半が足りないくらい満喫できました。竹富島ではカイジ浜で星砂を探して、遠浅のコンドイビーチで海水浴しながら西桟橋を眺めることもできました。
帰りのフェリーの時間は予約なしで選べるので、子供の具合次第で早く帰ることもできるし、子供が元気だからたくさん竹富島で長く遊ぶという選択もできるのがありがたかったです。

In September, I participated in a day tour with a group of four women. We traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, experiencing a lot in just one day by switching between buses, boats, and water buffalo carts.

Impressions
⭐︎ It was so much fun!
I had an extraordinary experience with unique activities like traveling by water buffalo cart and taking a mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island. On Taketomi Island, we rented bicycles and enjoyed the beautiful village and the emerald green sea. Since the distances are tough on foot, I highly recommend renting a bicycle.
---
What I Liked
• The transportation arrangements were very smooth, with minimal waiting time, making it comfortable.
• The guide's explanations were easy to understand, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry, even as first-timers.
• It was amazing to experience the different charms of each island, like the water buffalo and the mangrove cruise.
• The sea was truly beautiful, and it was incredibly healing.
---
What I Noticed
• September is very hot, and I exhausted my energy during transfers and while exploring the islands. A hat, parasol, and sunscreen are essential due to the strong sunlight.
• On Taketomi Island, walking can be tough both time-wise and physically, so I strongly recommend renting a bicycle without hesitation.

Overall Evaluation
The tour was a great satisfaction, combining transportation, sightseeing, and meals efficiently, allowing for a packed day of experiences! It's perfect for girls' trips and group travel.
9月に女子4人グループで参加しました。石垣島から西表島・由布島・竹富島をめぐる日帰りツアーで、バスや船、水牛車などを乗り継ぎながら、1日でたくさんの体験ができました。

感想
⭐︎ めちゃ楽しかった!
普段はできない水牛車での移動や、西表島のマングローブクルーズなど、非日常感たっぷりの体験ができました。竹富島では自転車をレンタルし、美しい集落やエメラルドグリーンの海を満喫。徒歩では厳しい距離なので、自転車レンタルはとてもおすすめです。
⸻
良かったこと
• 移動の段取りがとてもスムーズで、待ち時間が少なく快適でした。
• ガイドさんの案内がわかりやすく、初めてでも安心して楽しめました。
• 水牛やマングローブクルーズなど、島ごとに違った魅力を体験できたのが最高。
• 海が本当にきれいで、心から癒されました。
⸻
気になったこと
• 9月はとても暑く、移動中や島内散策で体力を消耗しました。日差しが強いので帽子・日傘・日焼け止めは必須です。
• 竹富島は徒歩だと時間的にも体力的にも厳しいため、迷わず自転車をレンタルするのを強くおすすめします。
⸻
総合評価
移動・観光・食事すべてが効率よく組み合わされていて、1日で盛りだくさんの体験ができる大満足のツアーでした!女子旅やグループ旅行にもぴったりです。
- September is very hot, so a hat, parasol, sunscreen, and drinks are essential!
- It's tough to get around Taketomi Island on foot, so renting a bicycle is definitely recommended.
• 9月はとても暑いので、帽子・日傘・日焼け止め・飲み物は必須!
• 竹富島は徒歩移動だと厳しいので、自転車レンタルが断然おすすめ。

It rained quite a bit in the morning, but the boat to Iriomote Island was mostly stable. Even though it was raining during the mangrove cruise after arriving on the island, we were able to see the mangroves without getting wet on the boat. The guide's explanations were thorough and educational. On the bus within Iriomote Island, we learned about the history and the lives of the locals through the guide's humorous talk while enjoying the ride to the water buffalo riding area. The water buffalo cart took us through a fantastical landscape to Yufu Island, where we had lunch made with local ingredients unique to the island. While there may be mixed opinions, personally, I enjoyed a little bit of everything, and it was very delicious! I was able to get up close and take commemorative photos with the water buffalo named Rui-kun. By the time we arrived at Taketomi Island, it had completely cleared up and was quite hot. Cycling in the sand during that heat was tough (but the younger ones seemed to manage fine). I recommend an electric bike for those who aren't confident in their stamina. After returning to Ishigaki, we still had plenty of time to play, making it a very fulfilling day.
朝からかなりの雨でしたが西表島までの船はほとんど揺れず、島についてからのマングローブクルーズでも雨が降っていましたが、ボートないは濡れずにマングローブを見れました。ガイドさんの説明が丁寧で勉強になりました。西表島内のバスはガイドさんのユーモア溢れるトークで歴史や地元の人たちの生活について知ったり楽しみながら水牛乗り場まで行きました。水牛車は幻想的な風景の中由布島まで進み、島では島ならではの素材を使ったお昼をいただきました。賛否があるかもしれませんが、個人的には色々少しずつ楽しめて、かつ、とてもおいしくいただきました!水牛のるいくんに触れながらかなり至近距離で顔を近づけて記念撮影ができました。竹富島に着く頃にはすっかり晴れて暑いくらいでした。あの暑さの中、砂で足元をとられるサイクリングは辛かったです(若い方たちは問題なしかと)。体力に自信がないかたは電動サイクルをおすすめします。石垣に戻ってからもまだまだ遊ぶ時間があったので、かなり充実した一日になりました。
The weather can change depending on the island, so I think it's reassuring to have rain gear (it can also serve as a parasol on sunny days).
島によってお天気が変わることがあるので雨具はあると心強いと思います。(晴れでも日傘代わりになるので)

I participated in a day trip tour that allowed me to fully enjoy Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands. The tour included a mangrove cruise in Iriomote, a ride on a water buffalo cart from Iriomote to Yufu, and both a water buffalo cart and rental bicycles on Taketomi Island.
First of all, arranging this on your own would likely be impossible. Bus transportation is essential on the islands, and the logistics can be quite complicated and impractical, so joining a tour is the best option.
In Iriomote and Yufu, there are set routes and schedules, so you don’t need to plan everything in advance. Yufu is a small island, so if you follow the designated route, you can see all the attractions.
On Taketomi Island, there is free time for cycling, and being able to explore the island thoroughly during this time is crucial. The island has few large buildings and many similar streets, so it can be easy to get lost if it's your first visit. Additionally, restaurants and tourist spots are scattered around, so it's better to do some research beforehand. However, since you can get around by rental bicycle, you can reach the faraway beaches without taking too much time. Be mindful of the return time for the rental bicycles and the ferry departure time to Ishigaki, as both are fixed, so make sure not to be late.
私は西表・由布・竹富島を日帰りで満喫できるツアーに参加しました。西表ではマングローブ遊覧、西表~由布までの水牛車に乗り、竹富島では水牛車とレンタサイクルが楽しめるフルパッケージのツアーです。
まず、個人手配することはおそらく不可能です。島内ではバス移動が必須ですし、様々に煩雑で手間がかかりすぎて現実的ではありませんので、ツアー参加一択です。
西表、由布では決まったルート、予定が組まれているので、そこまで事前に計画を立てておかなくてもよいかと思います。由布は小さい島なので、順路に従って移動すれば島内すべてを観光できます。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルでの自由時間が設けられており、ここでの観光をしっかり回れるかどうかが重要です。まず島内は大きな建物が少なく、似たような通りばかりなので、初めてでは迷います。また食事処や観光名所もそれぞれに散らばっているので、事前に調べていったほうが良いです。ただ、レンタサイクルでの移動なので、遠方の海岸までもそこまで時間がかからずに到着できます。レンタサイクルの返却時間、石垣行のフェリー発車時間はそれぞれ決まっていますので、遅れないように注意しましょう。
You won't be disappointed if you join this tour. Although it takes time from early morning until evening, you can enjoy all of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi.
このツアーに参加すれば間違いありません。早朝から夕方まで時間はかかるものの、西表、由布、竹富をすべて楽しむことができます。

I always book options through Veltra, and while there were several tour companies on-site, the content seemed to be the same. In that case, it's definitely reassuring to book with the trusted Veltra.
This tour felt like time stood still. Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city really refreshes the mind. The meals were satisfying as well. The grandmother at the ice cream shop was very kind and gave me star sand. I would love to go back and relax again someday.
いつもベルトラさんでオプションを申し込みますが、現地でもいくつかのツアー会社がありましたが、中身は同じようです。ならばやはり信頼のベルトラさんで予約が安心ですね。

It was better than I expected. The ferry from Ishigaki Island was not fully booked, so I could sit comfortably. The mangrove boat tour, water buffalo cart, and the shuttle bus in between were all accompanied by guides who provided interesting commentary, making the journey enjoyable. The water buffalo cart, in particular, travels between Yubu Island, enhancing the experience with a lot of local charm. The lunch was also satisfactory in both quantity and quality.

I chose to explore Taketomi Island on foot. There is a bus that goes to the sandy beach on the opposite side, so you can use that, and on the way back, you can check out the shops on the island before

反対側の砂浜まではバスがあるのでそれを利用しつつ、帰りは島内の商店などを見つつ港まで戻れます。

While heading to Iriomote Island, I was sitting in a seat on the ocean side at the back of the boat, enjoying the view of the sea, when a sudden wave soaked me completely. However, I was healed by the beautiful sea, the pleasant breeze, and the surrounding islands.
Once we arrived at Iriomote Island, we quickly used the restroom, and the mangrove tour began. The boatman was very skilled at storytelling, making it a lot of fun. I've heard that the atmosphere changes between high and low tide, so I definitely want to see it at a different time.
After the mangrove tour, we headed to the water buffalo cart boarding area near Yubu Island by tourist bus, and the bus driver's stories were also entertaining. During the journey to Yubu Island, the water buffalo cart driver shared trivia and played the sanshin, making it quite varied. The water buffalo walked through the water without a care, even when the tide was high. The water buffalo resting on the island were also very cute. There seemed to be quite a bit of time for exploration, which passed quickly as we took photos with the water buffalo and looked at souvenirs. Next time I come, I plan to decide on the points to stop at in advance to make the most of my time.
On the day we visited, a tsunami warning was issued, and after leaving Yubu Island, we ended up going to the island's evacuation center, which turned out to be a valuable experience (if things had gone as planned, we wouldn't have stopped at the exchange center, and it was fun with the atmosphere reminiscent of an old-fashioned nature house for boys). The subsequent trip to Taketomi Island was canceled, and we returned to Ishigaki Port, but the staff's response was quick and very reassuring. Despite the natural disaster, we received a partial refund the next day, and I think the service was just as excellent as the tour itself. I would love to use this service again next time!

西表島に向かう際、客室の外(船の後方)、海側の座席で海を眺めていたら急な波でびしょぬれになってしまいました。しかし綺麗な海や心地よい風そして周りの島々に癒されました。
西表島に着いたらトイレを済ませてすぐにマングローブ遊覧がはじまります。船頭さんの話がうまくてとても楽しめます。満潮と干潮で雰囲気も異なるそうなので、別のタイミングでもぜひ見てみたいところです。
マングローブ遊覧が終わると油布島近くの水牛車乗り場まで観光バスで向かいますが、バスの運転手さんの話がこれまた面白いです。油布島までの道中は、水牛車のお兄さんによって雑学を披露してくれたり、三線を弾いてくれたり様々です。水牛たちは潮が満ちていても何のそのでじゃぶじゃぶ歩いてくれます。島で休んでいる水牛たちもとてもキュートでした。散策時間が結構あるようですぐに過ぎてしまうので(水牛と写真を撮ったりお土産をみたりで)、次回来るときは立ち寄るポイントをあらかじめ決めておいて効率よくまわろうと思います。
私たちが訪れた日、ちょうど津波注意報が発表され、油布島を出たあと島の避難所に行くことになってしまったのですがそれはそれで貴重な経験でした(予定通りだと交流センターに立ち寄ることはありませんし、昔ながらの少年自然の家のような雰囲気で楽しかったです)。
その後の竹富島は中止になって石垣港へ戻ることになりましたが、スタッフの方々の対応も素早くとても安心できました。
自然災害にもかかわらず、翌日一部返金のお知らせをいただきツアーの内容と同じくらいサービスも最高だと思います。
次回もまた利用させていただきたいです!!

If you use the hotel shuttle service, they will pick you up in a large tour bus. There are various companies providing shuttle services, so it can be a bit nerve-wracking waiting for your pickup, but
ホテルの送迎を利用すると大きな観光バスで迎えに来てくれます。色んな業者さんが送迎をされているので迎えに来るまで不安ですが大丈夫です。バスに乗るときに名前を尋ねられます!

Overall, it was enjoyable, but I thought sitting on the right side during the mangrove cruise offered relatively more sights to see. The driver's commentary during the bus ride was entertaining. Unfortunately, the lunch was disappointing. There was hardly anything suitable for children, and since it was geared towards adults, I think it would be better if there were at least a children's menu or the option to choose between two set meals. Just considering the disappointment of this lunch, I don't think I would participate in the same tour again.
終始楽しめますが、マングローブクルーズは右側に座ったほうが比較的見どころが多いなと思いました。
バス移動の運転手さんのトークが面白かったです。
ランチは残念な感じでした。子どもが食べられそうなものがほとんどなく、大人向け共通なので、せめて子どもメニューを選べるとか、定食を2つから選べるといいかなと思います。このランチの残念さだけを考えても、次は同じツアー参加はしないなと思います。
There is no children's menu for lunch.

The tour included everything, such as the boarding fee, lunch, and the water buffalo cart, so it was very convenient. I was able to spend my time leisurely. The lunch was delicious as well.
On Taketomi Island, I wanted to do the water buffalo cart and rental bicycle plan, but it was sold out, so I opted for the free walk plan instead. I was able to rent a bicycle from another rental shop, but the timing of the boat's departure and the bicycle rental's shuttle service didn't match, so I walked to the port for about 15 minutes on the way back.
It was a good experience, but I wouldn't recommend the free walk for families with children. It was tough to walk while carrying them. (laughs)
乗船料、お昼代、水牛車などの代金など全て込みのツアーだったので、とても楽ちんでした。時間的にもゆったりと過ごせました。昼食も美味しかったです。
竹富島では水牛車とレンタサイクルのプランが良かったのですが売り切れだったので、フリーウォークのプランにしました。他のレンタサイクルさんで自転車を借りることができましたが、船の出航時間とレンタサイクルの送迎の時間が合わず、帰りは徒歩15分くらいで港まで行きました。
良い体験でしたが、お子様連れはフリーウォークはおすすめしません。抱っこで歩くのは辛かったです。笑

I was able to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Taketomi Island while riding a water buffalo cart! I rode on the Kuina, and even though it was still young, I was impressed by its perfect cornering at the turns!
During our stroll, we enjoyed delicious Okinawa zenzai at a shaved ice shop recommended by our guide, creating wonderful memories with my family!
Next time, I would like to visit more leisurely!
水牛車に乗ってゆったりとした竹富島の雰囲気を感じることができました!
くいな号に乗せていただきましたが、
まだ幼い?のに、曲がり角でのコーナリングも完璧で感動しました!
散策ではガイドの方に教えていただいたかき氷屋さんで、とても美味しい沖縄ぜんざいをいただき、家族でいい思い出になりました!
次回はゆっくりと訪れてみたいです!

It's definitely better not to bring children.
