All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

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。

The guide, who was a water buffalo driver, was skilled and made the experience enjoyable. They explained the island's traditional events and culture, as well as current issues and challenges, which provided a great experience.

It was a wonderful island-hopping experience! I was worried about getting seasick on the boat from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, but that was not a problem at all. The tour was conducted on time for everything, and we had enough time to look at souvenirs. On Taketomi Island, you can choose the return boat at either 4 PM or 5 PM, but I definitely recommend the 5 PM option. If you take the 4 PM boat, you won't have enough time for sightseeing. I feel like there are more star sands than there were 20 years ago!

とても素晴らしい離島巡りでした！石垣島〜西表島までの船に酔わないか心配でしたが、そこは全く問題なかったです。
ツアーは全て時間通りに行われました。お土産を見る時間もちゃんと取れました。
竹富島では帰る船を16時or17時で選べますが、絶対17時がいいです。16時だと観光時間が足りません。20年前より星砂が増えた気がします！

On the last day in Ishigaki Island, I participated in a tour to make use of the time before my flight. It was a tour that allowed us to visit many of Ishigaki Island's famous spots all at once. Both the guide and the driver were very nice, and since I was traveling alone and didn't rent a car, there were many places that would have been difficult for me to reach, so I’m really glad I joined the tour! From the car window, they also showed us the mangrove trees and a shisa farm. I thought it would have been even better if there were tours that allowed us to get off at the shisa farm and Yaima Village.

石垣島最終日、飛行機までの時間を利用して参加しました。
石垣島の名所を一気に巡れるツアーで、ガイドさんも運転手さんもとっても良い方で、ひとり旅でレンタカーもしなかった私には、なかなか行きづらい場所も多かったので、参加して良かったです♪♪
車窓から、一本マングローブや、シーサー農園なども案内してくれました。
シーサー農園や、やいま村も下車するツアーがあればもっと良いのにと思いました。

This was my second time participating, and I definitely recommend joining if you travel to Ishigaki Island. You can explore efficiently without wasting time, and it's easy since there's no driving involved.

二度目の参加でしたが、石垣島に旅行したら是非とも参加をおすすめします。
無駄なく効率良く回れますし運転もないから楽です。

Crossing the island by water buffalo cart was a charming and wonderful experience. I was also impressed by the extensive mangroves. The bus driver's stories on Iriomote Island were very informative as well. Thank you very much. It was a bit disappointing that the weather was gloomy.

水牛車での島渡り、趣があり、素敵な体験ができました。
広範囲のマングローブも感動しました。
西表島のバスの運転手さんのお話もとても参考になりました。
ありがとうございまました。
天気がぐずついていたのがちょっと残念でした。

I was amazed by the vastness of the limestone formations in Ishigaki. They were very beautiful and magnificent, and I could feel the passage of time. I also recommend the glass-bottom boat in Kabira.

石垣の鍾乳の広大さに驚きました
とても綺麗で壮大で年月を感じました
また川平でのグラスボートはお勧めです

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。

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。

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 (^^).

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(^^)

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。

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。

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。

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

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。
