Ishigaki/Yaeyama
I initially planned for my grandchildren to ride the water buffalo cart, but I felt like I wanted to ride a little longer! The waiting time was quite long, and by the time we boarded the boat, there wasn't enough time to explore the island. That was how I felt. Other than that, I didn't have any particular complaints. If I have the opportunity again, I think I would like to try activities on Yufu Island and Iriomote Island. Thank you very much.
取り敢えず孫たちを水牛車に乗らしたくて計画しましたが、もう少しだけ長く乗りたかったかなぁ!?という感じです。待たされた時間が長くて、船の乗船時間には、中途半端島内巡りしようと思っても時間がない。そう感じでした。後は、特に不満は、ありませんでした。また機会があれば、由布島、西表島のアクティビティに挑戦しようかなぁと思います。ありがとう御座いました。
If you're going to experience it, I think an event in the morning would be better.
もし体験するのであれば午前からのイベントが良いかと思います。
When visiting Ishigaki Island, I recommend finishing your island-hopping tour first, as they will take you to the airport afterward. This would be a good option for your last day.
You will have time to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, which is a highlight of Ishigaki Island (boat fees are not included). The staff from the boat company will be waiting for you in the parking lot at Kabira Bay, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about waiting times, making it very efficient.
When I used this service, there was a cruise ship in, and it was very crowded with foreigners. It's best not to have high expectations for lunch.
石垣島に観光に来た際、離島めぐりを先に済ませ、空港まで送っていただけるので、最終日に利用されるとよいと思います。
石垣島のハイライトになる川平湾でグラスボートに乗れる時間があります(ボート料金は含まれていません)。
川平湾ではボート業者のスタッフが駐車場で待っていてくれますので、待ち時間を気にせずに効率が良いです。
私が利用したときはクルーズ船が来ていて、外国人で大混雑しておりました。
昼食は期待しない方がよろしいです。
You can efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island.

I received my ticket at the counter of the island terminal and boarded the ship. With transportation to and from the port, I was able to take a stroll around the island during the extra time I had!
I was able to make good use of my time from lunch until the evening (^^).
離島ターミナルのカウンターでチケットをもらい乗船
港から送り迎え付きで、余った時間で島内のお散歩にも行けました!
ランチしてから夜までのいい時間の使い方ができました(^^)
I was able to have my large luggage stored at the counter of the island terminal.
大きい荷物は離島ターミナルのカウンターで預かってもらえました。
This is a classic course for island hopping around Ishigaki Island, including a round trip on a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, a mangrove tour on the Nakama River, and free time on Taketomi Island. We were able to efficiently explore all three islands.
On the water buffalo cart, the guide played the sanshin and sang Okinawan songs, and the bus driver shared interesting stories about the island!
西表島〜由布島へ水牛車で往復、マングローブ群生の仲間川遊覧、竹富島でのフリータイムという石垣島周辺の離島巡りの定番コースのですが、3島を効率よく観光できました。
水牛車ではガイドの方が三線を弾きながら沖縄の歌を歌ってくださり、バスでは運転手の方の島のお話も面白かったです!
This time we took a course around the three islands, and it was very well received by my family. The schedule was just right, and we had a great time. Thank you for your assistance. If there is another opportunity, I will definitely use your services again.
今回はま3島をめぐるコースでしたが、家族にも大好評でした。時間割りもちょうど良く、大変楽しむ事が出来ました。
お世話になりました。又、機会が有れば利用させて頂きます。
At first, I was anxious, but the staff guided me each time, so I was able to enjoy sightseeing without worry. I especially think that the three-island tour is a cost-effective and recommended course.
初めは不安でしたが係員が都度案内してくれるので不安なく観光出来ます。特に3島巡りはコスパも良いおすすめコースだと思います。
The walking distance is not long, so even elderly people can navigate it without burden. There is also a shuttle service to the hotel, making it convenient.
歩く距離も長くなく高齢者でも負担なく回れます。ホテルまで送迎もあるので楽ですよ
This is a bus tour that takes you around the sightseeing spots of Ishigaki Island. The guide introduced folk songs while playing the sanshin. You can get off at Naha Airport, making it an efficient bus tour.
石垣島の観光名所を巡るバスツアーです。
ガイドさんは、三線を演奏しながら民謡を紹介してくれました。
那覇空港で降車でき、効率よいバスツアーでした。
The staff at the reception desk were friendly and provided kind assistance. Thanks to them, the last day turned out to be a fun trip. The tour was enjoyable as well. I didn't have enough time to see everything on Yufu Island, but I would like to come back and explore it more leisurely. I also want to participate in other tours.
窓口受付の方の感じが良く、親切に対応してくださいました。そのおかげで最終日楽しい旅行になりました。ツアーも楽しかったです。由布島、時間が足りなくて全部見れなかったけれど、またゆっくり来たいと思います。他のツアーも参加したいと思いました。
You should have a map when sightseeing in Yufuin Island. You might get lost.
由布島は地図を持って観光した方が良い。迷うかも。
I was able to spend a relaxing time in Mishima! The weather was great, and I could also listen to the sanshin while riding the water buffalo cart! It was a luxurious day and I had a lot of fun, but if I had to be picky, I wish I had about 30 more minutes to buy souvenirs on Iriomote Island at the end.
三島ともゆっくりと過ごすことが出来ました!天気にも恵まれ、水牛車では三線も聞くことができました!
贅沢な1日で楽しかったですが、欲を言えば、西表島で最後にお土産を買う時間がなかったので、30分くらいあれば良かったかなぁ。
You can leisurely visit various islands, so I recommend it for those with a free day!
のんびりいろんな島を巡ることが出来るので、1日フリーの方におすすめです!
The weather was nice, and the boat didn't sway, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing. The mangroves of Iriomote were beautiful, and we had a relaxing time on the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, making the island exploration a delightful experience. The water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island was also good, but the distance was short, and it ended quickly, so I wish I had chosen the bicycle plan instead. Overall, it was a fun day!
天気も良く船も揺れずに楽しく観光できました。西表のマングローブも綺麗に見れて由布島への水牛車ものんびりと過ごすことができて島の散策も楽しい時間でした。竹富島の水牛車も良かったですが距離が短くすぐ終わってしまったので自転車プランにしておけばよかったです。全体的に楽しい1日でした
While the water buffalo carts on Taketomi Island are nice, I personally think that using a bicycle might allow for a more meaningful use of time.
竹富島は水牛車もいいけど自転車のほうが時間を有意義に使えるかも個人の意見ですが
The limestone cave and the beautiful scenery at Kabira Bay were great, and both the driver and guide were kind. It was unfortunate that the glass boat at Kabira Bay was canceled due to strong winds, so I couldn't ride it, but the views were beautiful. Also, it was disappointing that the guide didn't perform the sanshin or songs and dances that I had seen in other people's posts. However, the guidance was solid.
鍾乳洞、川平湾と綺麗な景色が見れて運転手さんガイドさんも親切でよかったです。川平湾のグラスボートが強風のため欠航で乗れなかったのが残念でしたが、景色は綺麗でした。あと他の人の投稿であったガイドさんの三線や歌踊りなどがなかったのが残念でした。ガイドはしっかりしてくれましたが。
The guide's sanshin and songs depend on that day's guide. It's all about luck.
ガイドさんの三線や歌はその日のガイドさんによります。運です
In the morning, they picked us up at the hotel, and we took a tour-exclusive boat to Iriomote Island. On the bus in Iriomote, the driver provided an entertaining guide, so we never got bored. The round trip to Yubu Island was accompanied by traditional island songs played on the sanshin while riding the water buffalo. On the way back, we all sang "Nada Sousou" together. It seems that the experience can vary depending on the water buffalo cart driver.
For lunch, there was a buffet. The pita bread filled with pork was incredibly delicious! We could also take commemorative photos with the water buffalo for free. If you like, you can buy a larger one, but I received a smaller one for free!
The Nakama River cruising lasts just under an hour, and there is a guide as well. On Taketomi Island, I decided not to rent a bicycle, but there was a sign at the port indicating rentals available on the day, so I was able to rent one! If you plan to go to the beach, it's better to have one.
You can choose from several return boat times. Once we arrived at the port, we could also choose the bus time to the hotel, so if you want to do some sightseeing, you can! I highly recommend it!
朝ホテルに迎えにきてくれて、
ツアー専用の船で西表にいきます。
西表のバスではドライバーが楽しいガイドもしてくれて、飽きません。
由布島への往復の水牛も三線で島唄つき
帰りはいっしょに歌いましょうとなだそうそうをみんなで歌いました。これは水牛車の引き手さんによっても違うようです。
お昼はビュッフェ式です。ピタパンに豚肉をいれてそれがすごく美味しかった!
水牛との記念写真もただでとれます。
気に入れば大きいのを買いますが、小さいのはもらいました❗️
仲間川クルージングは一時間弱ですが、ガイドもあります。
竹富島では自転車なしにしましたが、港に当日借りの看板があり、借りることができました!浜にいくなら、あったほうかよいです。
帰りの船の時間もいくつかから選べます。
港についたら、ホテルへのバスの時間も選べるので、観光もしようと思ったらできます!おススメです❗️
A classic island-hopping tour around Ishigaki Island includes a round trip on a water buffalo cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island, a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River, and free time on Taketomi Island. The ferry, sightseeing bus, and lunch were all efficiently arranged. I had booked accommodation on Taketomi Island, so I disembarked at Taketomi Port, but I appreciated the flexibility of being able to explore as much as possible in a short amount of time, which is great for someone traveling alone and wanting to see various sights.
The trip from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island was on the tour operator's own boat, the Super Dream, which provided a spacious and comfortable journey. The staff at the port were also very kind and provided thorough explanations during the check-in process.
西表島〜由布島へ水牛車で往復、マングローブ群生の仲間川遊覧、竹富島でのフリータイムという石垣島周辺の離島巡りの定番ですが、渡船〜観光バス〜昼食が効率よくうまく手配されていました。私は竹富島で宿を取っていたので竹富港で離団しましたが、こういう融通がきくところも一人旅でも出来るだけ色々見てみたいという欲張りには短い時間を十分に観光に使えありがたかったです。
石垣島〜西表島〜竹富島は、ツアー催行会社(石垣島ドリーム観光)の持ち船スーパードリーム号で、大きく居心地の良い船旅でした。また港での受付も丁寧な説明で係の方々も親切でした。
I came to Ishigaki Island and, since I was here, I wanted to explore other islands in the Yaeyama region, so I signed up for this three-island tour. We took a boat to explore the mangrove forests of Iriomote Island, rode a water buffalo cart for 400 meters to Yubu Island, where we were soothed by subtropical plants, enjoyed a buffet lunch featuring Okinawan cuisine, and then moved on to Taketomi Island. Here, we also rode a water buffalo cart and spent a leisurely time admiring the red-tiled roofs. During the ride, our guide played the sanshin and sang Okinawan songs, making me feel like I was truly in Okinawa. The entire course included explanations, allowing us to learn many things that we wouldn't have known just by exploring on our own, making it a satisfying tour.
石垣島旅行に来、せっかくなので八重山の他の島も巡ってみたいと思い、この3島ツアーに申し込みました。ボートでの西表島のマングローブ林巡り、400m水牛車に乗って由布島(ゆぶじま)に渡り、亜熱帯植物に癒され、沖縄ごはんのブュッフェランチをとり、竹富島に移動。ここでも水牛車に乗って赤瓦の屋根屋根を眺めつつゆっくりとした時間を過ごせました。水牛車ではガイドの方が三線を弾きながら沖縄の歌を歌ってくださり、沖縄に来た~と思えます。コース全てに渡って解説がつくので、個人で巡るだけでは知ることの出来ないことをたくさん学べたりもでき、満足なツアーでした
I was able to sightsee at just the right time. It was easier than going around by myself. I had lunch at a restaurant with a great view. It was convenient to get dropped off at the airport.
丁度よい時間で観光できました。自力で巡るより楽ちん。景色のよいレストランでランチ。空港で下車できて便利でした。
The highlight of this tour was definitely the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, which was fantastic. I was impressed by the guide's explanations and assistance. I recorded the shamisen performance on the water buffalo cart, so I'll be listening to it again and again. For Taketomi Island, I chose the bus tour, which made it easy to explore various places, and it was perfect for older travelers.
このツアー最大の期待だった西表島マングローブクルーズがとっても良かった。ガイドさんの説明や対応も感動しました。水牛車の三味線演奏も動画撮影したのでちょくちょく聴き直します。竹富島はバスツアーを選んだで楽に色々廻れて年配者にには最高でした。
Yubu Island and Taketomi Island both had plenty of free time for independent activities, which allowed for a personal experience that was fantastic. The photos taken with the cows turned out to be unexpectedly wonderful, and I couldn't help but purchase them.
由布島も竹富島も自由行動時間がたっぷりで、自分なりの体験が出来、最高でした。
牛と一緒に撮った写真が思いのほか素敵で…思わず購入しました。
The journey always begins by taking a sightseeing bus to get a grasp of the layout of the area. The local guide's stories were enjoyable, making for a fulfilling bus tour. The optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay offers a discount for bus tour participants, and it's definitely something you should experience.
旅の始まりはいつも周遊のバスに乗り位置関係を掌握します。
地元のガイドさんのお話が楽しく、充実したバスツアーでした。
オプションの川平湾グラスボートは、バスツアー割引が有り絶対乗るべきです。
Please make sure to do it on the first day of your trip!
是非とも旅の初日にどうぞ!
I was able to efficiently visit the islands. I rented a bicycle, but it seemed like the frame was bent, making it very difficult to ride and unstable. Since it had been decades since I last rode a bike, I initially thought it was just because I wasn't used to it. However, upon reflection, I realized that the handlebar setup and seat angle were in very poor condition. I regret not asking for a change right from the start.
非常に効率よく島々を廻れました。
レンタサイクルを借りましたが、フレームが曲がっているようで非常に乗りにくく安定した走りが出来ず苦労しました。
何十年ぶりに自転車に乗ったので、初めは慣れていないからかな?と思っていましたが冷静に考えてみるとハンドルのセッティング・座席の角度等非常に整備業況が悪いです。
最初に変更を望めば良かったと反省しきりです。
If you are renting a bicycle, please take a short ride to check the condition before you start. I believe the staff thinks their job is done once they have handed it over to you.
レンタサイクルを借りる場合は、少し乗って状況を確認してから走り出してください。
担当者の方は、貸し出してしまえば仕事は終わりと考えておられると思います。
It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and traveling while listening to the guide's stories was very informative. I'm glad I participated.
初めての石垣島でしたので、ガイドさんのお話を聞きながらの旅は、知ること多くて参加してよかったです。
The limestone cave requires a bit of a long walk. It's so beautiful that I ended up walking slowly, and I ran out of time.
鍾乳洞は、少し長く歩きます。
キレイなのでゆっくり歩いてしまうので時間が足りなくなりました。
I almost went around the whole island, and it was an amazing trip with fantastic weather. Since the weather on the island can change unexpectedly, two nights is enough to enjoy various places around the island.
ほぼ一周した、めちゃくちゃ良かった天気で、最高の旅でした。島の天気で、いつか変わるか珍しく無いので、二泊で、充分島のあちこち味わってもらって頂けると思います。
If the weather is nice, we can create good memories.
天気が良ければ、いい思い出が作れる。
The day before, it was raining on and off, but on this day, there was wind, and it was sunny with beautiful colors in the sea. During the mangrove tour, I enjoyed the guide's fun stories and explanations about the types of mangroves. It was something I don't get to see often, so I'm glad I came. It turned out to be an amazing day.
前日は雨が降ったりやんだり、この日は風はあるけど晴れて海の色も綺麗でした
マングローブのでは、ガイドさんの楽しい話しとマングローブの種類の説明を聞いて楽しかったしなかなか見られるものでは無いので来て良かった
最高な日になりました。
Walking around Taketomi Island can be quite challenging, so riding a bicycle is recommended.
竹富島を歩くのにはやはり大変で自転車に乗るのがおすすめですね
After making a web reservation, the ticket reception and boarding for the ferry and bus were smooth. The water buffalo was a good and cute one. If the weather had been nice, it would have been the best experience. Thank you very much.
WEB予約後、チケット受付もフェリーやバス乗車もスムーズ。水牛は良い子で可愛かったです。
天気が良ければ最高の体験でしたね。
ありがとうございまさした。
Come on a sunny day.
晴れた日に来てね。
The weather was nice during the mangrove tour, and since we were on the first boat, there were no waves, and the water surface looked like a mirror, reflecting the trees beautifully. I was very moved and was able to take some stunning photos.
On the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed hearing stories about the water buffalo and the island from our guide, making the journey fun.
For lunch, I had local food, but it didn't quite suit my taste.
In Taketomi Island, we toured by bus, but the time was short and it felt rushed; I wished we had more time.
マングローブ遊覧で天気が良く先頭の船だったので、波も無く水面が鏡の様で木々が水面に映り、美しい写真が撮れてとても感動しました
水牛車は、ガイドさんから水牛や島の話しを聞き楽しく移動が出来ました
昼食は地元の物を食べれたがあまり口に合わなかった
竹富島ではバス観光で廻ったが、時間が短く忙しなくもっと時間が欲しかった
The guide was very good, but the lunch was the worst. The food was acceptable, but the rice was either too old or had been left out for too long; it was cold and hard, and it was terrible.
ガイドさんはとても良かったですが
お昼の食事が最悪でした。
料理は許せるが、お米が時間が経ち過ぎていたのか、冷たく、固くなっていて、最悪でした
We were pulled by a cute water buffalo, and the guide shared interesting and amusing stories about Taketomi Island. It was a wonderful experience where we could feel the flow of time on the island.
可愛い水牛に引っ張ってもらって、ガイドさんが竹富島の説明を面白おかしくお話してくれます。島の時の流れが感じられ、素敵な体験でした。
We took a walk around the village while receiving explanations! It was great to explore Taketomi Island and learn about its charm rather than just visiting as a tourist! Although it was unfortunately rainy, we still enjoyed the water buffalo!
説明をしてもらいながら集落を散歩しました!観光でくるより竹富島なら良さを知りながら回れたのでよかったです!あいにくの雨でしたが水牛は楽しめました!!
I was looking forward to the tour, but unfortunately, it rained...
Riding a bike in a poncho on Taketomi Island was tough.
Surprisingly, the bike tires got stuck in the sand.
However, the ride on the ox cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu was fun.
The water buffaloes were working hard.
Also, the bus driver's stories during the ride were entertaining.
Even with the bad weather, it was a tour that I enjoyed in its own way.
Thank you very much.
楽しみにしてたツアーですが、生憎の雨・・・。
竹富島では、ポンチョ着てのチャリは、しんどい。
意外に砂地にチャリのタイヤが取られる。
でも、西表島⇒由布の牛車は楽しかった。
水牛さんたちが頑張ってました。
また、移動のバスの運転手さんのお話が面白かったです。
天候が悪くてもそれはそれで楽しめたツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。
After touring around Ishigaki Island, we were dropped off at the airport, so we scheduled our flight for the evening to participate. We were able to visit places that are difficult to explore on our own, such as the limestone caves and Kabira Bay. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and we had a wonderful time filled with laughter.
石垣島の島内を観光した後に空港で降ろしてもらえるので、飛行機の時間を夕方に設定して参加しました。
自分達で巡るのは困難な鍾乳洞、川平湾などを巡ることができました。
ガイドさんのお話が楽しく笑いっぱなしの素敵な時間でした。
The checkout on the last day will be early, but we can make the most of our time until then! It was a great tour that included lunch as well!
最終日のチェックアウトが早くなってしまいますが、最後まで時間を有効に使えます!ランチも付いているお得なツアーでした!
On the day of my visit, it was unfortunately cloudy, but I wasn't caught in heavy rain, so I was able to enjoy myself to some extent. I explored Taketomi Island by bicycle, but I felt that I could have enjoyed it even more if I had a bit more time. The ocean was very beautiful. I definitely recommend you go and see it!
当日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、大雨には降られず、それなりに楽しめました。
竹富島は自転車で回りましたが、時間が少なくもう少しあればなお良かったかなと思います。
海はとても綺麗でした。是非行ってみてください。
