I started with a free walk on Taketomi Island, but two hours flew by, and I realized that a rental bicycle is essential since you can't cover everything just by walking. During the free walk, it was inconvenient because the shops were still closed, and there were no restrooms nearby.
The water buffalo cart ride and mangrove tour were definitely worth experiencing, and I was able to spend my time meaningfully.
竹富島のフリーウォークから始まりましたが2時間はあっという間で、ウォークだけでは回りきれないのでレンタサイクルが必須だと思いました。フリーウォーク中はまだお店が閉まっている時間帯で周りにトイレがないので不便を感じました。
水牛車やマングローブ遊覧は体験する価値ありで有意義に過ごすことができました。
竹富島フリーウォークの前にトイレは済ませて行くべし。フリーウォークはレンタサイクルがないとしんどいです。かなりの距離を歩くのでサンダルだとつらいです。三島巡りは貴重な体験になります。

I'm really glad I participated since the weather was great. The water buffalo was cute. Depending on the season, I recommend renting a bicycle or taking the bus on Taketomi Island. I went during Golden Week, and it was hot, so walking might be quite tough... I think it's a cost-effective and just right tour for first-time visitors to the island.
天気に恵まれていたので本当に参加して良かったです。水牛がかわいかった。季節にもよりますが、竹富島はレンタサイクルかバスをお勧めします。G Wに行きましたが暑かったので歩くのは相当辛いかと…初めて島に行く人にはコスパも良く丁度良いツアーだと思います。

I visited Taketomi Island, Iriomote Island, and Yufu Island in that order. I couldn't enjoy the dining options on Taketomi Island since they open at 11 AM, but the entire island was peaceful and a wonderful place. The interaction between the water buffalo cart guide and the water buffalo was also a highlight (laughs).
On Iriomote Island, we traveled by bus to the boat for the mangrove tour. The driver also served as a guide, and he was quite impactful, making it very interesting to learn about the island (laughs). During the mangrove tour, he clearly and concisely explained the three types of mangroves we would see. The breeze felt really nice.
From Iriomote Island to Yufu Island, we traveled by water buffalo cart. I was able to experience what I had envisioned. There was quite a bit of free time on Yufu Island, allowing for a leisurely stroll.
Overall, it was a wonderful tour, and I'm glad I could visit all the islands.
竹富島、西表島、由布島の順で回りました。
竹富島のお食事系は11時開店のため利用できませんでしたが、島全体がのどかでとても良いところでした。水牛車の案内の方と水牛さんの相性も見どころでした(笑)
西表島はマングローブツアーの船までバスでの移動でした。運転手の方がガイドもしてくださってましたが、なかなかインパクトのあるガイドで、とても面白く島のことを知れました(笑) マングローブツアーもツアーで見れる3つのマングローブをわかりやすく簡潔に教えてくださいました。風がとっても気持ちよかったです。
西表島から由布島までは水牛車でした。思い描いてた体験をできました。由布島でのフリータイムがかなりあり、ゆっくりと散策できました。
どの島も行けてよかったと思えるすばらしいツアーでした。
It's very hot. Since it can suddenly rain, I recommend wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

You can efficiently visit the three islands of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi in one day. I took a bike tour around Taketomi Island at the end, but since the village is all laid out the same way, I got lost and couldn't find the meeting point. I had to ask a local for directions, but I managed to make it back in time for the meeting. It was the last ferry, so if I hadn't made it, I wouldn't have been able to return to Ishigaki.

This was my third time visiting Ishigaki Island, and it was my husband's first time, so we decided to book this tour. Since our hotel was a bit far from the terminal this time, we opted for a plan that included transportation to the hotel and a rental bicycle on Taketomi Island.
Even though it was my third time, crossing from Iriomote Island to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart and leisurely exploring Taketomi Island by water buffalo cart was still a uniquely enjoyable Okinawan experience. We were able to spend relaxed time with the uniquely individual water buffaloes and savor a break from the everyday. Everything went smoothly, and it was great that we could choose our departure time for the boat from Taketomi Island.
On Yubu Island and Taketomi Island, there were opportunities for photo shoots, and those who wanted could purchase the photos, but if you didn't want them, you could simply pass by, which I think is a good system. Since there were just the two of us participating, we decided to purchase all the photos (with data), and it became a wonderful keepsake.
3度目の石垣島でこちらのツアーも3度目でしたが、夫が石垣島初めてとのことで申し込みをしました。今回はホテルがターミナルから離れていたこともあり、ホテルまでの送迎と竹富島では、レンタサイクルを含むプランで申し込みをしました。
3度目でしたが、西表島から由布島に水牛車で渡ったり、竹富島を水牛車でゆったり散策したりするのは何度やっても沖縄らしく楽しめました。個性豊かな水牛たちとのんびりした時間を過ごせ、非日常の時間を味わう事ができました。全てスムーズですし、竹富島からの船は時間を選べるのもよかったです。由布島と竹富島では、写真撮影もあり、希望者が購入出来ますが、不要な方はそのままスルーすればよいので良いシステムだと思います。私たちは2人参加とあって、写真(データ付き)も全て購入させて頂き、良い記念になりました。
I think it's best to participate expecting that the weather in Okinawa can change from sunny to rainy to cloudy all in one day. On this day, it went from rain to cloudy to sunny.
沖縄の天気は1日で晴れ、雨、曇りになると思って参加されるのが良いと思います。この日も雨→曇り→晴れとなりました。

We experienced this with our 5-year-old and 8-year-old. I was worried about seasickness on the high-speed boat, but they guided us to sit at the front where it was less bumpy, which made me feel at ease. The weather was great, and the mangroves at high tide were incredibly beautiful. I heard that you can see a lot of marine life at low tide, so I would like to visit again during that time.
Since it was our first free plan on Taketomi Island, I was concerned about getting around by bus and on foot, but we were able to visit Kaiji Beach, Kondoi Beach, Nishizaki Pier, and the Island we wanted to see. Our free plan started after 2 PM, and we had to return from Taketomi Port to Ishigaki Port by 5 PM, so our stay was short, and I wished we could have explored a bit more leisurely.
The meals were sufficient for our 5-year-old when shared. The water buffalo carts moved at different speeds, so we were guided to different carts for the ride to and from, which the kids really enjoyed, and it was great to take photos together.
5歳、8歳の子連れで体験しました。高速船の酔いが心配でしたが、前方が揺れると案内していただき、安心して乗ることが出来ました。
天候も良く、満潮時のマングローブは凄く綺麗でした。干潮時は生物等も良く見えるそうなので、干潮時もいつか行ってみたいと思います。竹富島では初のフリープランだったので、バスと徒歩で心配でしたが、行きたかったカイジ浜、コンドイ、西桟橋、Islandに行けました。14時過ぎ〜のフリープランで17時には竹富港から石垣港に戻らなければならなかったので、滞在時間が短く、もう少しゆっくりまわりたかったです。
食事は5歳児には取り分けで十分でした。水牛車は水牛車によって速度が違う為、行きと帰りと別の水牛車を案内してくれて、子供もとても楽しんでいて、写真も一緒に撮れて良かったです。

I can't navigate this efficiently on my own. The ferry from Ishigaki to the remote islands was clean and had restrooms. The crew worked efficiently and were friendly, and the bus driver on the Iriomote cruise was an excellent guide! We even saw a crowned eagle. Yubu Island was lovely with the sound of the sanshin and the cuteness of the water buffalo. The rental bicycles on Taketomi Island were also pleasant and allowed for an efficient tour! I'm very satisfied.

Iriomote Island is large, so we toured the island by sightseeing bus and traveled to Yubu Island by ox cart. During the ride, we enjoyed listening to the sanshin and songs, which made for an elegant moment. Additionally, since each ox has a different personality, there were explanations about that, making it a fun time. After that, we returned by ox cart, moved by bus, and took a boat to see the mangroves. The explanations were thorough, and I learned what kind of plants mangroves are. If you sit in the front, you might get splashed with water, so it might be a good idea to think about where to sit. It was a very good tour! 👍
西表島は、広いので観光バスで島内を観光し、由布島へは牛車で移動しました。移動中は、三線と唄が聴けて、優雅なひとときです。また、牛によって性格が違うので、その説明もあり、楽しい時間でした。その後、牛車で戻り、バスで移動し、船でマングローブを見学しました。説明も丁寧でマングローブがどういう植物かわかりました。前の方に座っていると水しぶきもかかったりしますので、座る場所を考えたほうが良いかもしれません。
とても良いツアーでした👍
As part of the tour, we visited Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but I think it would be great to include a visit to Taketomi Island as well. 😄

I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.
I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.
Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.
Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

I have fond memories of experiencing the water buffalo cart when I was a child, so this time I participated with my family. The tour itself was satisfactory with polite service from the ferry terminal, but the water buffalo cart, which I was looking forward to, was disappointing. Perhaps because our group was the largest (7 people), we were assigned to go last, even though we weren't the last to arrive. Additionally, since half of us, including my husband, were British, the guide hardly paid us any attention, and being at the back meant we could barely hear anything, which was quite disappointing.
水牛車は私が子どもの頃に体験して良い想い出に残っていたので、今回自分の家族と参加しました。ツアー自体はフェリー乗り場からご丁寧な対応で満足でしたが、楽しみにしていた水牛車は、私たちのグループが1番大人数(7人)だったせいか、最後に着いた訳では無いのに1番最後に回され、主人も含め半分イギリス人だったせいか、ガイドにも全く相手にされず、1番後ろだったのでほとんど雑音にしか聞こえずがっかりでした。

SUPは初めてでしたが、日の出も運良く見ることができ最高でした!
シュノーケルも難なく楽しめ、海もとても綺麗でウミガメも見ることができました。
私が着用したライフジャケットが、留め具が3箇所中2箇所壊れていて少し不安でした。
また身長や体重、希望のサイズ、泳げるか、なども事前に予約時に詳しく記載できればいいなぁと思いました。
スタッフの方もとても気さくで、また機会があったら是非やりたいと思えるようなツアーでした!
It is recommended to bring a separate haori and beach sandals. There may be breaks in between, so it’s a good idea to inquire in advance for peace of mind. Lastly, you can also use a shower, so having
別途羽織の持参や、靴はビーチサンダルがおすすめです。
合間に休憩があるかもしれないので、事前に問い合わせなどしておくと安心です。
最後にシャワーも使えるので、シャンプー等もあると良いです。
Thank you for using Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
You mentioned it was your first time paddleboarding, but you were so skilled and able to stand smoothly that it was hard to believe it was your first time. The weather was great all day, and we were able to see the fantastical scenery of the mangroves and corals that you usually can't see. It was also wonderful to spot creatures like sea turtles and sea snakes. Please consider joining us again when you come back to Ishigaki Island. We look forward to seeing you!

この度は石垣島 ADVENTURE PiPiをご利用いただきありがとうございました!
SUP初めてと仰っていましたが初めてとは思えないくらい上手でスムーズに立つこともできていたのがとても印象的です。
1日天気も良く普段見ることができないマングローブの幻想的な景色やサンゴなども見れましたね。
ウミガメやウミヘビなどの生き物も見ることができてよかったです。また石垣島に来た際はツアーに参加してみて下さい。
ぜひお待ちしております

The weather was unfortunate, but I enjoyed it enough. The time management was good, and I didn't get bored even participating alone. The cows were so cute! 🩷
あいにくの天気でしたが、十分楽しめました
時間配分も良く、一人参加でも退屈しませんでした
牛さんたちが可愛いかった🩷

I thought it would be tight on time to explore Mishima in one day, so I opted for a tour departing for Taketomi Island at 2:30 PM. Thanks to that, I was able to spend the morning enjoying an experience playing with dolphins, making it a meaningful day.
We departed from the Euglena Island Terminal at 2:30 PM and arrived at Taketomi Island in less than ten minutes. We boarded a microbus that took us to the water buffalo cart terminal station (laughs).
There, we checked in for the water buffalo cart ride and waited for our names to be called by the staff. Since the number of people who can ride the water buffalo cart is limited, they consider the size of the group when distributing spots.
After a few minutes of waiting, my name was called, and I boarded the water buffalo cart. From there, we embarked on a 30-minute city tour while listening to the guide's explanations and watching the buffalo's rear end (laughs). The buffalo knows the route and walks on its own, but the guide manages the pace, hurrying or stopping as needed to maintain distance from the cart in front.
While some roads on Taketomi Island are paved, the paths for the water buffalo cart are all unpaved sandy roads. We moved at a slower pace than a person walking, but the buildings and the trees and flowers planted here and there created a landscape that truly felt like "this is Okinawa! This is the Yaeyama Islands," which was moving. Sometimes the guide played the sanshin and sang, creating a nice atmosphere. It was amusing when the buffalo decided to take a break while the music was playing, causing the cart to stop.
We circled around the main street of the island and returned to the water buffalo gathering spot at the station where we started, where we disembarked. We could take a commemorative photo, but it was a small card-sized picture, so if you want a clearer two-shot with the buffalo, you can purchase it for 1,800 yen. We bought it.
After that, we had about an hour until the return boat departed. If we had rented bicycles, we could have made it to the Star Sand Beach, but we decided to leisurely explore the village instead.
We enjoyed seeing various sights and sipping on banana smoothies, which made for a perfectly timed experience. From there, we took the bus back to the port from where we first disembarked. We even had time to browse for souvenirs before the return boat arrived.
We boarded the same boat at 5 PM to return to Ishigaki. We got off the boat around 5:10 PM, making it roughly a two-and-a-half-hour tour. It was just right for a half-day of fun. I recommend it for those who are thinking, "I have some free time in the afternoon."
If you want to experience the leisurely space and time that you often see in images, definitely give it a try.
一日で三島を巡るのは時間的にきつそうと思い,竹富島へは午後2時半出発のツアーとしました。おかげで午前中にイルカと遊ぶ体験をする時間も取れて有意義な一日を過ごすことができました。
2時半にユーグレナ離島埠頭を出港して10分足らずで竹富島に到着。待っていたマイクロバスに乗って水牛車のターミナルステーション(笑)まで運んでもらえます。
そこで水牛車に乗る受付をして、係の人に名前を呼ばれるのを待ちます。水牛車に乗れる人数が限られるので先方がグループの人数などを考慮して配分してくれます。
待つこと数分で名前を呼ばれて水牛車に乗り込みます。それからは牛使いさんの説明を聞きながら水牛のお尻をずっと見ながら(笑)約30分の市内周遊ツアーをすることになります。
牛さんは道順を覚えているので自発的に歩きますが、前の車との間隔などを配慮して牛使いさんが急がせたり止めたりしています。竹富島の道は舗装されているとこもありますが、水牛車が通る道は全て砂地の未舗装路です。そこをもったりもったり人が歩むより遅い速度で巡回するのですが、途中の建物やそこかしこに植えられた木や花が「これぞ沖縄!これぞ八重山諸島」という風景で感動します。時には牛使いさんが三線を弾いてアユタを歌ってきたりしていい感じ。音楽が流れている間中、牛さんが休憩してしまい水牛車が止まるのはご愛敬。島内のメイン通りをぐるっと回って出発したステーションのところにある水牛のたまり場?まで帰ってきてそこで下車です。
乗車記念で写真を撮ってもらえますが、それは名刺大くらいの小さなものなのでもっとはっきりした牛とのツーショットが欲しい場合は1,800円で購入です。うちは買いました。
それから帰港する船が出るまで約1時間くらいでした。レンタサイクルを利用すれば星の砂のビーチくらいまでは行けそうでしたが、自分たちはゆったり村内を回ることにしました。
あちこち見たり途中でバナナスムージーを飲んだりしてちょうどいい感じの時間配分でした。そこで最初にバスを降りたところから港へバスで送ってもらいます。そして帰りの船が来るまでお土産を見て回る時間もある位程度ありました。
乗ってきたのと同じ船に17時に乗って石垣へ帰ります。
船から降りると17時10分くらい。概ね2時間半くらいのツアーです。
半日遊ぶのにちょうどいい感じでした。時間的に「午後が空くなあ」と思ってる方にはおすすめです。
よく見るイメージ通りののんびりした空間・時間を味わいたい方、行ってみてください。
If you're going to the ferry terminal for the remote islands by car, I recommend using Parking Lot 2 instead of Parking Lot 1. There's a good chance you'll find available spots, and you can access the
車で離島フェリーふ頭へ行く方は第一Pではなく第2Pがお奨め。かなりの確率で空きがあるしフェリー埠頭へは駐車場の端から直接入れるので第一に停めて車や人で混む正式な入口から行くより便利です。

Make sure to use the restroom before the free walk on Taketomi Island. The free walk can be tough without a rental bicycle. You'll be walking quite a distance, so sandals can be uncomfortable. Explori
