All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was able to see rare mangroves up close, cross the sea while being gently rocked by cute water buffalo, and learn about the unseen history and circumstances of the island through the guide's interesting and captivating stories. I was satisfied with everything.

珍しいマングローブを間近に見て、かわいい水牛に揺られて海を渡り、ガイドさんの面白く興味惹かれる話で目には映らない島の歴史や事情、今や思いをしりました。全てにおいて満足でした。

It was my first time riding so many! The guide explained a lot and took many photos for us. The Segway experience was amazing. I want to try it again when I go to Ishigaki Island.

こんなにたくさん乗れたの初めてでした！ガイドさんもたくさん説明してくださって、写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。セグウェイ、最高でした。また石垣島へ行ったら体験したいです。

I think this is a great tour that allows you to efficiently visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island. Fortunately, the weather was favorable, and I was able to fully enjoy Kabira Bay, which I had been looking forward to. If I had to be picky, it felt a bit rushed, and the return ended at the bus center, so I had to take a taxi back to my hotel, which was a bit inconvenient. (I wish they had made that clear in advance.)

石垣島の見どころを効率的に回れる良いツアーだと思います。幸い天候に恵まれ、楽しみにしていた川平湾も存分に楽しむことができました。欲を言うと、ちょっと慌ただしいのと、帰りがバスセンター着で、ホテルにはタクシーで帰らなければならないのが今一つでした。（その旨を明示しておいて欲しい。）

I was glad to be dropped off at the airport in the end. I think it would be good to include that on the last day. However, the only place I really enjoyed was Kabira Bay, so I have doubts about the significance of participating.

最後に空港で降ろしてもらえたのがよかった。最終日に組み込むとよいと思います。
ただ行ってよかったのは川平湾くらいなので参加する意義があるのかというと疑問でした。

It turned out to be a very enjoyable day. I was anxious about how things would go with the bad weather, but I was welcomed by the cute water buffaloes, creating wonderful memories. Since I could choose my own return boat time, after touring the village with the water buffaloes, I was able to rent a bicycle from the neighboring building and go to the beach and some nearby places. I recommend bringing a raincoat as it seems to rain a lot during this season. Even when it rained along the way, I had no problem riding the bicycle thanks to the raincoat. I would like to visit again on a sunny day.

とても楽しい一日になりました。
天候が悪い中どうなるかと不安でしたが、、
可愛い水牛さん達にに迎えられステキな思い出となりました。帰りの船の時間が自分で選べるため、水牛さんとの村観光の後、隣の建物て自転車を借りてビーチや少しはなれた場所まで行くことも出来ました。
いまの時期は雨が多いそうですので雨ガッパをお持ちになることをお勧めします。途中雨が降っても雨カッパのおかげで問題なく自転車に乗れました。
今度は晴れた日に又訪れたいです。

I researched various options to make the most of our last day. We found a half-day tour around Ishigaki Island. Our flight was at 14:50. The tour included a guide, lunch, and transportation to the airport. The guide's entertaining conversations and Okinawan folk songs made the experience enjoyable. We arrived at the airport by 13:30. It turned out to be the best final day.

最終日無駄なく過ごす為色々調べました。有りました。私達は14:50発のフライトでした。石垣島一周半日ツアー。ガイド、ランチ、空港まで・・ガイドのおじさんの楽しい会話、沖縄民謡、空港には13:30到着。
最高の最終日になりました。

You can take a tour around Ishigaki Island. It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was able to enjoy it in a short amount of time. The guide was a local, and their stories were interesting, so I never got bored. Lunch was included, and it featured small dishes that allowed us to taste a bit of the local cuisine, which was also tailored for tourists.

It was unfortunate that the weather was bad, but even with that, I had a great time. I recommend it for beginners.

石垣島を一周出来ます。初めての石垣島旅行でしたので、短い時間で楽しめました。ガイドさんは地元出身の方で、話も面白く、退屈しませんでした。昼食付きでしたが、昼食は、地元のものが少しずつ味わえる小鉢付きで、そちらも観光客向けでした。
天気が悪くて残念でしたが、それを差し引いても、楽しめました。ビギナーにはオススメです。

We participated as a three-generation family. Thanks to the GO TO Travel program, it was quite a bargain. The only downside was the weather, which was mostly cloudy with light rain, but we had a satisfying five hours thanks to the male guide's clear and enjoyable talk. With live performances of the sanshin and singing, we really felt like we were in Ishigaki, and we were able to efficiently tour around Ishigaki.

親子３代で参加しました。GO TOトラベルのおかげで、だいぶお得でした。
お天気だけが残念で曇りと小雨がほとんどでしたが、男性ガイドさんのわかりやすく楽しいトークで満足な５時間でした。
三線の生演奏に生歌付きで、「石垣に来てる～」という実感もわき、効率よく石垣周遊ができました。

You can efficiently visit the tourist spots on Ishigaki Island. It's especially recommended for beginners to Ishigaki Island. The weather on the day of participation wasn't very good, but you can enjoy it regardless of the weather. The meals were delicious and served in a place with a great view.

石垣島の観光地を効率よく廻れる。特に石垣島ビギナーの方にはおすすめ。参加当日の天気はあまり良くなかったが。天候に関係なく楽しめる。食事も眺めの良い場所で美味しかった。

I visited Kohama Island separately, so I went on a tour of three islands. The hotel provided transportation, and the tour was well-organized and fulfilling. I enjoyed my free time on both Yubu Island and Taketomi Island.

小浜島は別でいったので、3島巡りにしました。
ホテルからの送迎付きで、内容も充実していて良かったです。
由布島も、竹富島も、自由時間があり満喫できました。

I heard that he was the only male guide from Higashi Bus, and he was also skilled at playing the sanshin, so I really enjoyed listening to various songs. I participated in a paid glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay, and it seems that there is a nearby Ōmotō Sake Brewery, which would also be enjoyable to visit. Depending on the weather, the clarity of the water's surface may change, so it might be a good idea to skip the glass-bottom boat and visit the black pearl store or the Ōmotō Sake Brewery instead. Given the season, the weather wasn't great, and I honestly felt that the clarity wasn't very high. However, I was satisfied because I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle.

On the way back, I didn't get off at the airport since I was on the evening Peach flight, but I had no explanation about the mangrove forest at Miyara River, so I had no idea where it was. Mangroves themselves are not particularly rare in Yaeyama, so there might not be much to explain. I might not use this service again, but if it's your first time in Ishigaki Island, I think it's a tour you can't go wrong with.

東バス唯一の男性ガイドさんということでしたが、三線もお上手でいろいろ歌を聴かせていただきとても楽しめました。
川平湾でわたしは有料のグラスボートに参加したのですが、近くに於茂登酒造があるようでそこを見学しても楽しめたようです。天気によっては水面の透明度など変わってくると思うので、天気の状況によってグラスボートに参加せず黒真珠の店舗をみたり於茂登酒造を見学してもいいのかもしれません。時節柄もあって天候がよくなく透明度は正直それほど高くなかったように感じました。ウミガメは運よく？みられたので満足はしましたが。
帰りは夕方のピーチ便利用だったので空港では下車しませんでしたが、宮良川のヒルギ林については説明もなくどこだかまったくわかりませんでした。マングローブ自体は八重山では珍しいものでもないので特に説明することもないのかもしれませんが…
二度は利用しないかもしれないけど、石垣島が初めてであれば利用してみて間違いのないツアーだと思います。

I was looking for a tour that would allow us to take our one-year-old and enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. Perhaps due to the impact of COVID-19, the bus and water buffalo cart were private, allowing just our family to enjoy the experience. This was my second visit to Kaiji Beach, but I remember it being more beautiful with more star sand when I visited over a decade ago. We were able to leisurely admire the houses and scenery of Taketomi Island, spend our time slowly, and create wonderful memories as a family.

1歳児連れての観光なので、なるべくゆっくり観光できるツアーを探していました。コロナの影響もあってかバス、水牛車は貸切で、私たち家族だけで楽しむことができました。カイジ浜は2度目でしたが、十数年前に訪れた時の方がもっと星の砂があって綺麗な印象でした。竹富島の家や風景をのんびり見られて、ゆっくり過ごせて、家族のいい思い出ができました。

The tour guide was interesting and shared a lot of informative stories, which made it enjoyable! It's a shame it rained!

ツアーのガイドさんも面白くとてもためになる話を沢山していただいてたのしかったです！
雨だったのが残念でした！

The weather on the day was relatively good compared to the past few days, and even in winter, it was comfortable for a solo traveler to visit each island. Since it was my first time, I think it would have been better to have a bit more guidance and support on each island. It was also nice to receive the Go To regional coupons during the COVID-19 pandemic.

当日はここ数日のなかで比較的に天気が良くて、冬場でも北の一人旅人には快適に各島回れました。
初めてなので、もう少し各島での案内サポートがあれば良かったと思います。コロナ禍でGo To地域クーポンが貰えたのも良かった。

It was my first trip to a remote island with my wife and her mother. On the first day, we enjoyed the attractions on the island, making it a wonderful trip. This was also our first bus tour with this group, and even during the COVID-19 pandemic, safety measures were in place on the bus, allowing us to enjoy our journey with peace of mind. Our guide, despite being young, was great at capturing the hearts of the tourists, making the bus ride enjoyable. The view of the seabed from the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was amazing. The lunch was also luxurious and delicious, and we truly had a fun day.

妻と妻の母との初めての離島旅。初日に島内の見所を味わわせていただき、最高の旅になりました。このメンバーでのバスツワーも初めてでしたし、コロナ禍の中、バスの中も安全配慮はできており安心して旅を楽しむことができました。ガイドさんが若くても観光客の心を掴むのが上手でバスの中も楽しめました。川平湾のグラスボートからの海底は素晴らしいものでした。昼食も豪華版で味もよく、本当に楽しい一日を過ごさせていただきました。

I was concerned about the weather, but I was relieved when it turned out to be sunny.

I think traveling by sightseeing bus is a great option.

I have one more memory from this trip.

Thank you very much.

お天気が気になりましたが、晴れたのでホッとしました。

観光バスに乗って回る旅も、良いものだと思います。

旅の思い出がひとつ増えました。

ありがとうございました。

Since the weather forecast predicted rain, I changed my plans from an island-hopping tour to a bus tour around Ishigaki Island at the last minute. The forecast turned out to be accurate, and it rained with strong winds, so it wasn't the best location, but I was prepared for that, so it couldn't be helped. Thanks to the fun stories and wonderful songs from our guide, I was able to have an enjoyable time despite the rain. The lunch was delicious, and it was great that I could use the GOTO campaign, making it very affordable. However, I still wanted to see the beautiful sea on a sunny day, so I would like to visit Ishigaki Island again.

雨が降る天気予報だったので離島巡りの予定を中止してこちらの石垣島を巡るバスツアーに急遽予定変更しました。
天気予報は外れてくれず雨が降り風も強く最高のロケーションとは言えなかったですがその点は覚悟していましたので仕方ありません。
ガイドのおじさんの楽しいお話や素敵な歌のおかげで雨の中でしたが楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
お昼ご飯も美味しかったですし、GOTOキャンペーンも使えて大変安かったのもよかったです。
でもやっぱり晴れた時の綺麗な海を見たかったのでまた石垣島に行きたいと思います。

I was looking forward to riding the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, but the weather was so bad that it was canceled. However, the highlight of the tour was the guide's talk and singing. Since I had to get off halfway to the airport on the last day, I couldn't listen until the end, but it was a very memorable bus tour.

川平湾でグラスボートに乗るのを楽しみにしていましたが、欠航するほどの悪天候に。しかし、ツアー中の魅力はガイドさんのトークと歌ではないでしょうか。最終日で空港に途中下車だったので、最後まで聞けませんでしたがとても思い出深いバスツアーでした。

This is a reasonable tour that allows you to efficiently visit all the sightseeing spots on Ishigaki Island. The lunch is delicious and made with local ingredients from Ishigaki Island, making it the best tour for those who do not use rental cars. I would like to point out to Veltra that the notification for using the regional common coupon arrived at 6:59 PM on the day of the tour, which is too late as souvenir shops on Ishigaki Island close around that time, so I was unable to use it. Other places had contacted me by check-in time, so I request an improvement and would like to know the reason for the delay in communication.

効率よく、石垣島全体の観光スポット回ることができるリーズナブルなツアーです。昼食も石垣島の食材を使った美味しい昼食で、レンタカーを使わない人には一番いいツアーでおすすめです。ベルトラにひとつご指摘、地域共通クーポンの使用のお知らせが当日の18時５９分にきており、この時間だと石垣島のお土産屋など閉まる時間なので使用できませんでした。他のところはチェックインの時間には連絡が来ていたので、改善を求めます、連絡がこんなに遅くなった原因を教えてください。

I was wondering if it was a tour with a dedicated guide, but it turned out to be a tour where staff members were at each point, managing the itinerary while checking tickets. Yufu Island was great. On Taketomi Island, there was hardly any free time after riding the glass-bottom boat and the water buffalo cart, so I plan to visit again on my own later!

添乗員が付き切りのツアーかな？と思っていたら、各ポイントにスタッフがいてチケットを切りながら行程を進めていくツアーでした。由布島が良かったです。竹富島はグラスボートと水牛車に乗ると自由時間はほとんどなく、また後日個人で行こうと思ってます！

Overall, it was good, but the departure of the boat from Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island was delayed by about 15 minutes because one of the participants missed the bus, which was disappointing as there was hardly any time for sightseeing on Iriomote Island. Such things can happen, so I recommend choosing a plan that allows for a departure on the 5:00 PM boat from Iriomote Island. Personally, I think it would be nice to go to Hoshi no Suna Beach by bus tour or by bicycle, so a combination of an ox cart and bike rental seems like a good option.

総じて良かったですが、西表島から竹富島への船の出発が、参加者の中でバスに乗り遅れた方がいらっしゃったため15分ほど遅れ、西表島のバス観光がほとんど時間が取れなかったのが残念でした。こういう事は起こり得るので、西表島の出発は17:00の船を選択できるプランをお勧めします。個人的にはバスツアーで行く星の砂のビーチも自転車で行くこともできるので、牛車＋レンタサイクルが良さそうです。

I participated in the Iriomote Island and Yufu Island tour organized by Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism through Veltra. Using the Go To Travel campaign, the cost for two people was 22,800 yen with a 35% discount, plus a 3,000 yen regional coupon, making it truly affordable. The tour included a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River, a water buffalo cart ride, and lunch (bento), and I was very satisfied with the experience.

ベルトラを通して石垣島ドリーム観光主催の西表島由布島2島観光N0コースに参加、goto使い2人で22800円が35パーセント引き、さらに地域クーポンが3000円付き本当に格安で参加できた。内容も仲間川マングローブクルーズ、水牛での水牛車観光、昼食(弁当)もついて大満足でした。

I participated during the time before boarding the ANA flight to Haneda Airport at 15:35. Although it was cloudy and windy at Kabira Bay, the sea was blue and beautiful. It was great that we could efficiently visit places like Tamatorizaki Observatory.

ANA15:35発の羽田空港行きに搭乗するまでの時間を利用して参加しました。川平湾は曇りで風が強かったですが、海は青くてきれいでした。玉取崎展望台など、効率よく行けたのがよかったです。

I went to the reception at the remote island terminal around 7:40 and received the tour explanation and tickets. The boat for traveling to Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island had a capacity of about 200 people. During the Nakama River cruise, I was able to see herons. On Taketomi Island, I was also able to visit the main attractions by bicycle.

7:40くらいに離島ターミナルの受付に行って、ツアーの説明とチケットを受け取りました。西表島、竹富島の移動は、定員200人くらいの船でした。仲間川のクルーズでは、へらさぎを見ることができました。竹富島でも、自転車で主な名所に行くことができました。

I participated with my mother. We were picked up at the hotel and dropped off at Ishigaki Airport on the way back. The timing was perfect for our return flight, which was ideal for us since we didn't have a rental car. We also had a guide with us.

母と参加しました。ホテルでピックアップしていただき、帰り石垣空港で降ろしていただきました。帰りの飛行機にもピッタリの時間で、レンタカーが無い私たちにはピッタリです。ガイドさんもついてます。

Even though I don't usually do much sightseeing in Ishigaki Island, it was really great to have a guided tour of the key spots, and the lunch included was fantastic!

石垣島に行ってもなかなか市内観光しないのですが、要所を巡ってもらって、ランチも付いててすごく良かったです！

Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism seems to handle many tours, including those for groups, and efficiently guides participants through multiple different options, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without getting bored.

The bus driver and everyone involved clearly wanted the participants to appreciate the charm of the Yaeyama Islands, and I was completely captivated by the allure of Ishigaki Island and the surrounding Yaeyama Islands!

One point to note: I chose the rental bicycle option for Taketomi Island, but there are many unpaved areas on the roads. If you're not comfortable with cycling, you might want to consider the glass-bottom boat or other options.

石垣島ドリーム観光さんは、団体も含めてツアーの開催が多き手がけておられるようで、複数の異なるオプションの参加者を効率的に振り分け誘導されており、退屈することもなく、楽しむ事ができました。
道中のバスの運転手の方も含め、みなさん参加者の方に八重山の島々の魅力を知っていただきたいと言う気持ちが前面に出ており、すっかり石垣島を初めとする八重山諸島の魅力に虜になりました！
一点だけ、竹富島のオプションはレンタルサイクルにしましたが、道路が舗装されてない箇所も多いです。
自転車が苦手な方は、グラスボートとか他のオプションを検討されてもいいかと思います。

I was amazed by the stunning views of Kabira Bay. The bus guide's explanation of Ishigaki Island was helpful for sightseeing. The lunch was also delicious.

川平湾の絶景には驚きました。バスガイドさんの石垣島の説明は観光の参考になりました。ランチも美味しかったです。

I participated on the last day of my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed a half-day tour from morning until 2:30 PM. During the mangrove cruise, the guide provided very clear explanations. Since it had just rained, there was a rainbow arching over the green mangroves and blue sky, which was refreshing for the soul.

The water buffalo cart to Yufuin was also a lot of fun, as I learned about the buffalo's stories and the history and culture of Yufuin. I would love to visit again!

旅行最終日に参加しました。朝から昼14:30までの半日観光でたっぷり満喫♪マングローブクルーズではガイドさんがとてもわかりやすく案内してくれました。雨上がりだったので、緑のマングローブと青い空に七色の虹がかかり、心が洗われました。
由布島へ渡る水牛車では、牛さんたちのエピソードや由布島の歴史や文化を知れてとても楽しかったです。
また訪れたいな〜

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for an island-hopping tour! I was able to enjoy various modes of transportation like boats, water buffalo carts, buses, and bicycles! Each experience was short, but that's understandable! It was a bit hectic, but I had a great time! The staff were all polite and friendly, which made it very pleasant! Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島だったので、離島巡りをしたくて申し込みました！
船、水牛車、バス、自転車といろいろ乗れて満喫できました！
それぞれの時間は短いですけど仕方ないですね！
せわしなかったけど満喫できました！
スタッフの方も皆さん丁寧で愛想良く気持ちよかったです！
ありがとうございました！
