All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I enjoyed the service in every situation, as it was pleasant and the explanations were thorough, allowing me to have a worry-free experience. I felt the prices were reasonable considering the quality and effort involved.

どの場面でも気持ちいい接客で説明も丁寧で不安なく楽しめました
料金も内容と手間や不安を考えても安いと感じました

This is a tour where you can enjoy the old town while being rocked in a water buffalo cart. Everyone's arrangements were good, and we were able to sightsee smoothly. It was fun.

水牛車に揺られ、昔の街並みを観光するツアーです。皆さんの段取りも良くスムーズに観光できました。楽しかったです。

This time, I chose to visit three islands: Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, where I had some free time. On Iriomote Island, I enjoyed a mangrove tour and rode a water buffalo. For lunch on Yufu Island, I had Orion beer and a delicious buffet. The highlight of this trip was the free exploration of Taketomi Island. I rented a bicycle and leisurely explored from Nishi Sanbashi to the star sand beach at Kaiji Beach, enjoying the charming streets with red-tiled roofs. It was absolutely wonderful!

今回は3島巡りで、自由時間がある西表島、由布島、竹富島巡りをチョイス。
西表島でマングローブ遊覧をし、水牛に乗り由布島での昼食は、オリオンビールと美味しいバイキング。
そして今回のメイン竹富島の自由散策。自転車をレンタルし西桟橋から星砂のカイジ浜、赤瓦が良い雰囲気の街並みをゆっくり散策できて最高に良かったです。

Crossing to Yubu Island, the water buffalo carts keep passing us by... So that was the message from the buffalo! They're so clever, showing what they want to say with their bodies... Sota-kun, that's right... It's tough every day, isn't it? I really enjoyed your body language. I want to ride again.

由布島への海渡り、どんどん抜かされる水牛車…あれが牛君のメッセージだったとは！
賢いんだ、言いたいこと、体で示そうよって、やってたんだ…ソータくん、そうだよね…毎日毎日、たいへんだよね…楽しかったよ、君のボディランゲージ。
また乗りたいと思うわたしでした。

I was able to visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day. On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle and rode to a beach with star sand, where I got so caught up in searching for star sand that I lost track of time and suddenly it was time to return to the boat. Next time, I would like to take it a bit more leisurely.

西表島、由布島、竹富島を1日でまわれました。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで星砂のあるビーチまで行き夢中になって星砂探しをしていてあっという間に帰りの船の時間になってしまいました。
次回はもう少しのんびりと行ってみたいです。

The lunch included is rich in content for the price. The guide's explanations were also easy to understand. This is my third time in Ishigaki Island, but since I had been moving around by rental car before, listening to the guide's stories while touring offered a different charm.

The sanshin performance during the bus ride was challenging, but both the performance and the songs in the local dialect were very well done, and above all, the voice was beautiful 🎤👧🏼.

The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay is an additional fee for those who wish to go, but it's cheaper than the general price with the bus tour discount. Last time I visited, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but this time I was thrilled to see many of them ✨.

値段の割に昼食付きで内容も豊富。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすくかったです。
石垣島は3回目ですが、今まではレンタカーで移動してたので、ガイドさんの話を聞いて巡るのは違った魅力を感じました。
バスの揺れの中での三線演奏、大変そうですが、演奏も方言での歌もとても上手で、何より声が美しかった🎤👧🏼
川平湾のグラスボートは希望者のみ別料金ですが、バス観光割で一般料金より安いです。
前回行った時は海がめは見れなかったのですが、今回はたくさん見れて感激しました✨

This tour allows for efficient sightseeing of the three Yaeyama Islands and is very satisfying in terms of content. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island, the water buffalo experience and sightseeing on Yufu Island, and cycling on Taketomi Island were all very enjoyable. The lunch on Yufu Island was delicious and had a local flavor. The only downside I noticed was that the bicycle used for cycling needed maintenance (the tires were low on air).

八重山3島を効率よく観光出来、満足の育や内容のツアーです。
西表島のマングローブ観光、由布島の水牛と由布島の観光、竹富島のサイクリング何処も満足の行く内容でした。
由布島の昼食も郷土色が感じられ美味しかったです。
あえて一つ残念なのは、サイクリングで利用した自転車のメンテナンス(タイヤの空気不足)が必要かと感じました。

Everything I experienced on the tour was truly wonderful!

The process from signing up for the tour to the end of participation was very meticulous, and I could feel the passion, enthusiasm, and thoughtfulness of each staff member. It became the most memorable tour I've ever participated in.

Also, since lunch was included in the tour, I had no expectations for the meal on Yufu Island, but it turned out to be a delightful menu that beautifully showcased the best of Okinawa's flavors, and it was very delicious! My picky 10-year-old daughter was also very happy.

The only downside was that I remember reading somewhere that there would be an English guide available, but in reality, everything was conducted in Japanese. I felt a bit sorry for my foreign husband who was expecting that. It might have been my misunderstanding, so I’m not too concerned about this point.

ツアーで体験したことの全てが本当に素晴らしかったです！

ツアー申し込みから参加終了までの過程が大変丁寧で、スタッフのお一人お一人の方々の情熱と熱意、お気遣いを感じられる、これまでで一番思い出に残るツアー参加になりました。

また、ツアーに組み込まれたランチということで、由布島での食事には全く期待していなかったのですが、これがなんと、沖縄のいいとこ取りの優しいお味のメニューがバランス良く提供されていて、とても美味しかったです！偏食の10歳の娘も大変喜んでおりました。

一つだけ残念だったのは、確か事前に英語でのガイドもあるという内容を読んだ記憶があるのですが、実際は全て日本語での案内だったので、期待していた外国人の夫には少しかわいそうなことをしました。私の勘違いかもしれませんので、この点はあまり気にしてはおりません。

The tour was highly satisfying as it allowed us to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day. The transportation and schedule were smooth, making it more enjoyable and reassuring than if we had arranged everything ourselves.

The water buffalo cart ride on Yufu Island had a great atmosphere, and we were able to spend a leisurely time there. On Taketomi Island, we also had free time to explore the streets and fully experience the island's vibe. I think it's a tour that's easy for first-time visitors to join and enjoy the main attractions without feeling rushed.

Since we could visit multiple islands in one day, I recommend this tour for those who want to make the most of their limited stay and have a fulfilling sightseeing experience.

We had a flight departing at 7 PM that day. After finishing the tour and returning to the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, we had about an hour to casually stroll around Euglena Mall.

西表島・由布島・竹富島を1日で効率よく回ることができ、とても満足度の高いツアーでした。
移動やスケジュールもスムーズで、自分たちで手配するより安心して楽しめたのがよかったです。

由布島の水牛車は雰囲気があり、のんびりした時間を過ごせましたし、竹富島では自由時間もあり、街並みを散策しながら島の空気をしっかり味わえました。
初めて訪れる方でも参加しやすく、主要な見どころを無理なく楽しめる内容だと思います。

1日で複数の島を巡れるので、限られた滞在時間の中で充実した観光をしたい方におすすめです。

私たちは当日19時発の飛行機でした。
1日終えて石垣島離島ターミナルに帰ってきてから、1時間くらいはユーグレナモールをフラフラするくらいに余裕はありました。

I had a great time experiencing the culture of the mangroves and Kohama Island! Sou-ta the water buffalo! He carried me all the way to the end, even though he took a few breaks! I think I could go back countless times without getting bored!

マングローブや小浜島の文化に触れて
とても楽しかった！
水牛のソウタ君！何度かサボりながらも最後まで運んでくれました！
何度行っても飽きないと思う！

On the day of our return, we initially had a rental car reserved, but we found out that the meeting point for the regular sightseeing bus was near the hotel we were staying at, and that we could get off at the airport along the way, so we canceled the rental car. We were able to visit places we couldn't go to during the trip, like Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory, through the bus tour, which allowed us to efficiently explore on the last day, and it was a lot of fun.

　帰る日に当初はレンタカーを予約しておりましたが、宿泊予定していたホテル近くが定期観光バスの集合場所で、空港で途中下車できる事がわかり、レンタカーはキャンセルしました。
　旅行中に行けなかった川平湾や玉取崎展望台にもバスツアーで行け、最終日に効率よく廻れ、楽しかったです。

You ride a water buffalo cart for about 30 minutes while taking in the town's scenery, and the sight of the red-tiled houses and bougainvillea blooming against the stone walls gives you a strong tropical vibe! The buffalo driver explains the town and even sings, which is entertaining. It's a great way to experience the best of each island, making it an excellent value for beginners. Personally, I felt that I would have liked a bit more time on Taketomi Island.

30分くらい水牛車に乗って街並みを観て周るのですが、赤瓦の家並み、石塀にブーゲンビリアが咲き乱れていて南国感半端ないです！牛使いさんが街の説明をしてくれたり、歌ってくれて面白い。各島のいいとこどりなので、初心者にはコスパ最強かと。個人的には竹富島でもう少し時間があればなぁと感じたかな。

The guidance was very clear, allowing us to board without any confusion, and we smoothly got onto the water buffalo cart. Unfortunately, I hadn't made a reservation for a bicycle rental in advance, so I couldn't ride around the island as I wanted, but my whole family was able to have a fulfilling time.

案内も非常に明確で迷うことなく乗船でき、スムーズに水牛車にも乗れました。事前に自転車レンタルの予約をしてなかったので、自転車で島を一周まわりたかったけどできなかったのが残念でしたが、家族一同充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

The weather was very bad, and the ferry on the way there was rocky, which made my elderly mother feel seasick and uncomfortable. However, she was happy to see the ox carts on Yufu Island, which she had long admired, and we took many memorable photos that we ended up purchasing.

The lunch was delicious, and we were satisfied with it. Although our time was short, we enjoyed our stroll around the area.

However, after being taken by bus to the ferry terminal for our return trip, there was no guidance at all, and we didn't know what to do. Reluctantly, I asked someone from another company, but they also said, "I don't know because it's a different company." In the end, we could have just boarded the ferry that was docked, but without any guidance, it was quite confusing.

At the very least, I would have appreciated an email or instructions from the staff we spoke with at the Ishigaki ferry terminal on the way there, indicating that there would be no one to guide us on the return trip and that we should board the ferry on our own.

天候が大変悪く、行きのフェリーが揺れたため、同行の高齢の母が船酔いして辛そうだった。しかし由布島の牛車などは長年憧れだったので喜んでいたし、記念写真もよく撮れていて購入していた。
昼ご飯も美味しく満足だったし、短い時間ではあったが散策も楽しめた。
しかし、帰りフェリーターミナルまでバスで送迎してもらった後、一切案内が無くどうすればいいのか分からなかった。しかたなく他社の係の人に尋ねたがその人も「会社が違うので分からない」と。結局は停泊しているフェリーに勝手に乗れば良かったのだが、何もガイドが無いとさすがに分からない。
せめてメールでもいいし行きに石垣のフェリーターミナルで話した係員でも構わないから、帰りは誘導する人は誰もいないが勝手にフェリーに乗船するようにと指示しておいてほしかった。

We were able to take our time at each highlight and explore at a relaxed pace. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch. The guide's performance on the sanshin was a live rendition, which was powerful and left a strong impression.

それぞれの見どころでの見学の時間もゆったりと取っていただき落ち着いて回ることができました。お昼ご飯も美味しく頂きました。ガイドさんの三線は、いわゆる生の演奏なので、迫力もありとても印象に残りました。

We participated as a group of 12, and the schedule was nicely balanced, allowing for some free time while we were able to explore the three islands in one day. The lunch was a buffet style, and we were able to enjoy a lot of Okinawan cuisine. It turned out to be a very fulfilling day!

12人の大所帯での参加でしたがタイムスケジュールが程よく自由時間もありつつ1日で離島三島を回れました。昼食もバイキング形式で沖縄料理をたくさん食べることができました。大変充実した1日になりました！

This is my second time participating in this tour. Although there are many tour guests moving at once, the group is divided at each destination, allowing for smooth sightseeing without confusion.

On Yubu Island and Taketomi Island, you can explore freely and take your time visiting the places you want to see. The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was guided by a knowledgeable guide, and I learned a lot about mangroves.

On the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, the guide played the sanshin and performed island songs for us. On Taketomi Island, I chose the free option this time, and when we arrived at Taketomi Port, there was a rental bicycle shop where I could borrow an electric bike.

During my first visit, I explored on foot, but there are many hilly paths, so having a bicycle makes it easier and gives you more time to enjoy. Lunch was a buffet featuring local island specialties.

このツアーに参加するのは2回目です。
大勢のツアー客が一度に動きますが、行く先々でグループ分けがされていて、迷う事なくスムーズに観光出来ます。
由布島、竹富島での島内観光は自由に回る事が出来、行きたいところをゆっくり観光出来ます。
西表島のマングローブクルーズは、案内人さんのガイドが分かり易く、マングローブの事を沢山知りました。
由布島までの水牛車では、案内人さんが三線を弾いて島唄を披露してくれます。
竹富島では、今回はフリーを選択しましたが、竹富港に着いた際にレンタサイクルのお店の方いて、電動自転車を借りる事が出来ました。
一度目は歩いての観光でしたが、起伏のある道も多く、自転車があると楽ですし、時間にも余裕が持てます。
ランチは島名物が中心のバイキングでした。

I didn't expect to be able to visit three islands in a single day, so I was really excited when I found this tour.

The weather on the day was cloudy with occasional sunshine ☀️, but it was a bit chilly. I had a light jacket with me, so the cold wasn't too much of a problem.

First, we took a ferry to Iriomote Island. From Iriomote Island, we boarded a boat to see the unique mangroves. Then, we crossed over to Yufu Island riding on a water buffalo, which was a valuable experience.

日帰りで3島も巡ることが出来ると思ってなかったので､このツアーを見つけたときは､とてもワクワクしました。

当日は曇りときどき晴れ☀️みたいな天気だったんですが､少し肌寒く一枚薄いジャンパーを持っていたので､あまり寒さは苦にはなりませんでした。

まず、フェリーに乗って西表島へ
西表島から船に乗って珍しいマングローブ
それから西表島から由布島へ水牛に乗って渡ったのが貴重な経験が出来ました。

Arrived in Ishigaki via a transfer in Naha from Tokyo. Had lunch at Ishigaki Airport, and then went to Taketomi Island on this tour. I was able to enjoy it without wasting any time and felt satisfied. Thanks to that, the next day I had a full day of activities in Miyako Island. Instead of rushing through sightseeing, I was able to take my time and enjoy it thoroughly.

東京から那覇で乗り継ぎ石垣に到着。ランチを石垣空港で、その後このツアーで竹富島へ。
無駄なくで楽しめ満足できました。おかげで次の日は1日かけて宮古島へアクティビティ。早足の観光でなくゆっくり十分楽しめました。

It was my first time in Ishigaki and my first time visiting an outer island. I recommend it for those who want to explore efficiently. Since there is a lot of travel by vehicle, it’s enjoyable for both elderly people and those with small children. The explanations from the guides at each stop were fun. Since I have an elementary school student, I signed up for a free walk on Taketomi Island and rented a bicycle on-site. Biking around was very pleasant.

初めての石垣、初めての離島でした。効率よく回りたい方におすすめします。
乗り物での移動が多いので、高齢の方も小さいお子さん連れも楽しめる内容です。
その時々のガイドさんからの解説が楽しかったです。
小学生がいるので竹富島はフリーウォークで申し込み、現地で自転車を借りました。
自転車観光、とても気持ちよかったです。

This was my second tour of the three islands: Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather again, and like last time, it was a cold tour... But to be honest, everyone should go on this tour!!

This time, the bus driver on Iriomote Island was a great storyteller, making the ride really enjoyable. We were laughing a lot. On the other hand, the boatman for the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island, who was very entertaining last time, seemed to be doing a half-hearted job this time, possibly because it was raining, which was disappointing.

I also think there’s room for improvement regarding the lunch we had on Yubu Island. However, the convenience of having hotel pick-up and drop-off, along with the fact that the boat didn’t rock, made it a great experience overall. Above all, I believe this tour is so engaging that you won’t have a moment to feel bored.

2度目の西表島、由布島、竹富島の3島めぐりツアーでした。
今回もお天気には恵まれず、前回同様寒いツアーにはなりましたが・・・
はっきり言ってこれはみなさん行くべきです！！
今回は西表島のバス移動の運転手さんがお話上手でとっても楽しかった。ウケまくりでした。
逆に由布島の水牛車の船頭さん(？)は、前回はとてもお話上手の方の楽しい方だったのですが、今回は雨も降っていたこともあってやっつけ仕事っぽく残念でした。
あとは由布島でいただく昼食も改善の余地があると思います。
ですがホテルへの送迎付きで便利だし船も揺れないし、なにより退屈する暇は無いほど充実しているツアーだと思います。

The morning ferry rocked like a roller coaster, making my heart race with excitement! I was healed by the water buffaloes on Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, enjoyed a fun guide on Taketomi Island while searching for star sand. It was a healing journey!

朝のフェリーは、ジェットコースターなみ揺れて、ハラハラドキドキ！
西表島、由布島の水牛に癒されて、竹富島でガイドさんの楽しいガイドで、星砂探して、
癒される旅でしたー！

We were blessed with good weather and had a great time enjoying the ox cart and the guide's folk songs, surrounded by blooming bougainvillea and deigo flowers. The timing was perfect.

お天気にも恵まれ、牛車もガイドさんの民謡も楽しみながら、ブーゲンビリア、デイゴの花も盛りの中、良い時間を過ごせました。時期的に良かったです。

Even though it's late March, is it scorching hot in Taketomi Island?! For Tokyoites who are still not used to the heat, riding in a covered water buffalo cart while listening to the guide's stories and the sound of the sanshin was the best experience for a leisurely island tour.

This tour, which includes transportation between Ishigaki Port and Taketomi Port, as well as a shuttle bus and water buffalo cart sightseeing, is a great deal. We took the ferry departing from Ishigaki at 2:30 PM and returning from Taketomi at 5:00 PM, which was just the right timing.

3月下旬とはいえ、竹富島は猛暑？！　まだ暑さに慣れていない東京人にとっては、屋根付きの水牛車に乗って、案内人の話や三線の音色を聞きながらゆっくり島巡りができて最高の経験でした。
石垣港⇔竹富港⇔送迎バス+水牛車観光のこのツアーはおトクです。私達は午後14:30石垣発＆竹富発17:00のフェリーで、時間的にちょうどよかったです。

We participated by splitting into a bus team and a free (bicycle) group. The forecast was cloudy with rain, and there was occasional light rain on Taketomi Island. I brought a raincoat but didn't need to wear it. The sea at Nishi Sanchu Bridge seemed beautiful. To visit all the highlights, you need plenty of time, and the last ferry was at 5 PM.

バスチームとフリー（自転車）に分かれての参加。曇雨予報で竹富島は時々小雨。カッパ持ってったけど着なくて大丈夫でした。西桟橋の海が綺麗だったようです。見どころを全部行くには時間がたっぷり必要で、フェリーは最後の17時でした。

On a day with cloudy and rainy forecasts, the strong winds made the ferry ride to our destination quite bumpy, causing even adults to feel seasick and scared. However, we calmed down during the mangrove tour, enjoyed a ride on an ox cart, and the kids were thrilled to see the large Papilio butterfly and the golden chrysalis at the Yufu Island Butterfly Garden. The bus tour was well-paced with informative explanations, allowing us to efficiently explore the area. It rained while we were on the boat, but elsewhere it was just cloudy, so we managed to have a fun time. It would have been perfect if it had been sunny.

曇雨予報の日、風が強く行きのフェリーが揺れまくり大人も船酔いand怖さで大変でした。その後のマングローブ遊覧で落ち着き、牛車も楽しめ、由布島蝶々園の大きなオオゴマダラと金色のサナギに子供大喜びでした。バスツアーはテンポよく説明もあり効率よく周れました。船中に雨が降りましたが、他はなんとか曇だったので楽しく周れました。晴れなら最高でした。

We participated in Hina's tour as a family. There were small children with us, but we were taught very carefully. Everyone in the family was very satisfied. We would like to participate again.

ひなさんのツアーに家族で参加しました。
小さい子どももいましたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらいました。家族全員大満足でした。また参加したいです。

With a guided experience that included singing and performances, we were able to spend a pleasant time. I think both first-timers and those returning for a second time will enjoy it.

ガイド付きで歌や演奏もあって、和やかに過ごすことができました。
初めての人も2回目以降の人も楽しめると思います。

In the morning, the weather was nice, and while cruising through the mangroves in Iriomote Island and crossing to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart, a pleasant breeze was blowing, making it a very enjoyable experience. Riding the water buffalo cart was a first for me, and the sound of the boatman's shamisen added a charming touch, allowing me to savor a relaxed atmosphere.

When we took the ferry to Taketomi Island, it started to rain, and since I had signed up for a cycling course on the island, I was worried. However, the rain stopped partway through, and I was glad I could cycle around the island. I was able to reach the sea, so I felt it was a good choice to go with the cycling course.

I definitely want to visit again when the weather and climate are nice.

午前中は天気も良く、西表島でのマングローブを船で周る時と、由布島へ水牛車で渡る時は、心地いい風も吹いててとても気持ちよく過ごせました。水牛車も初めての体験で、船頭さんの三味線も情緒があって、ゆったりとした雰囲気を味わえて良かったです。
竹富島へフェリーで渡る時に雨が降ってきて、島でサイクリングのコースを申し込んでいたので、心配してましたが、途中から雨も止み、自転車で島をまわれて良かったです。海の方まで行けたので、サイクリングのコースにして良かったと思いました。
またぜひ、気候と天気の良い時に訪れたいなと思いました。

This was an activity I wanted to experience at least once. The water buffalo crossing the sea is really cute. I had a wonderful experience on Yufujima as well. The jungle cruise on Nakama River was also fantastic.

１度は体験したいアクテビティでした。海を渡る水牛はホントに可愛いです。由布島でも素晴らしい体験出来ました。
仲間川のジャングルクルーズも最高でした。
