All Reviews for Kabira Bay

I was able to visit various highlights. The male bus guide was very good with his stable narration.

色々な見どころを回ることができました。男性のバスガイドさん、安定感のある語り口でとてもよかったです。

I participated on the last day of my 3-night, 4-day trip.

The weather was bad and cold upon arrival, and I thought all water activities would be canceled. However, the day before the last day, the sun came out in the afternoon, and the temperature rose significantly, so I made a last-minute reservation.

On the day of the tour, we were blessed with a wonderful guide under a blue sky, and we were able to leisurely enjoy the stunning scenery of Kabira Bay while canoeing.

This breathtaking view can only be enjoyed on this tour! Since there were no other tour guests, we were able to enjoy a completely private bay.

The canoe only got my bottom and feet wet, making it perfect for those like us who had a flight in the afternoon on the last day. It was easy to get ready afterward.

We took a lot of wonderful photos. We also got to try stand-up paddleboarding, which doubled the fun, and they were very accommodating to our requests along the way. The service was truly exceptional.

I will definitely repeat this next time. Thank you again!

3泊4日の最終日に参加しました。

到着時から天候が悪く寒く、ウォーターアクティビティは全滅かなと、予定に当初はなかったものの、最終日前日午後から晴れ間、気温もぐんぐん上がり、これはいけるのではないかと、前日予約。

当日は青空の下でとてもよいガイドさんにも恵まれ、絶景の川平湾をカヌーでゆったり楽しむことができました。

この絶景が楽しめるのは、このツアーだけ！
他のツアーのお客さんがいないので、完全プライベートベイが楽しめます。

カヌーは、お尻と足元くらいしか濡れないので、私達のように、最終日の午後にフライトがあるという人には最適です。終わったあとの身支度が楽。

素敵なお写真を、沢山撮って頂きました。
supもさせてもらえて、2倍楽しめましたし、途中のわがままにも臨機応変に対応していただき、本当にいたれりつくせりのサービスです。

次回もリピは確実にします。
またよろしくお願いします。

First time at Kabira Bay.
The larger boat had little sway, so I was worried about seasickness, but it was fine.
The guide's stories were enjoyable, and the weather was great, making it the best experience.

初めての川平湾
大きめの船で揺れも少なく、船酔いが心配でしたが大丈夫でした
ガイドの方のお話も楽しく、お天気も良く最高でした

It was explained that visibility was poor due to bad weather. I received a call saying that they weren't sure if the service would operate until the last minute because rain was forecasted for that day. I was also told that it would be fine to reschedule for the next day, but I had plans for the following day, so I couldn't reschedule.

天候が悪かったので、あまり見えないとの説明がありました。当日は雨の予報だったのでギリギリまで運行するかはわからないとお電話いただきました。翌日に振替でもいいという話もいただきましたが、翌日は予定があったので振替できませんでした。

The bus tour was very good, and the bus guide was pleasant. I wish there was a one-day sightseeing bus tour in Ishigaki Island.

とても良かったバスガイドさんも感じ良かった
石垣島1日観光バスツアーがあればいいのになぁと思いました

It was a convenient and enjoyable tour that takes you around Ishigaki Island and shows you the famous spots. Thanks to the guide's fluent explanations, I learned about the history of Ishigaki Island, stories related to the landmarks, and the wonderful scenery. There were opportunities to view from the car window as well as to walk around, making it truly recommended for first-time visitors to Ishigaki Island. Lunch was included, and it was delicious at a restaurant with a great view, allowing us to enjoy local specialties from Ishigaki and Okinawa. One of the best parts was being able to get off at Ishigaki Airport at the end. Since I participated on the last day of my trip, being dropped off at the airport to catch my flight was a huge help. The guide's chatter, singing, and playing the sanshin were very skilled and created great memories. If I had to say something, it felt a bit rushed at times. There were a few places I wished we could have spent a little more time at. But I understand that it's not possible to see everything.

手軽に石垣島を一周し、名所に連れて行ってくれる楽で、お得な楽しいツアーでした。ガイドさんの流ちょうな説明で石垣島の歴史、名所にまつわるお話、素晴らしい景観について知ることができ、車窓からの見学と実際に歩いて回るところがあり、石垣島に始めて行かれる人には本当におすすめです。ランチもついているのですが、見晴らしもよいお店でおいしく、石垣島、沖縄地方の名物が堪能できました。ありがたかったのは最後に石垣空港で下車できるところ。旅の最終日に参加したのでそのまま帰りの飛行機に乗るために空港下車は大変助かります。ガイドさんのおしゃべりや歌、三線がとても上手でいい思い出になりました。欲を言えば少しせわしない感じがしたかな。ちょっとゆっくりめに見たいところもありました。回り切れないから仕方ないですよね。

My first stand-up paddleboarding experience was enjoyable thanks to Kimura's careful advice, allowing me to have fun while taking in the beautiful scenery without falling dramatically into the sea. In the afternoon, the sea conditions were unfortunate, but I was satisfied as I had enjoyable conversations and received various information.

初SUP☆木村さんの丁寧なアドバイスで派手に海に落ちることなくキレイな景色を観ながら楽しく過ごせました^^♪午後は海の状況が悪く残念でしたけど、話も楽しく色んな情報も聞けたので満足です。

I made a reservation because I wanted to go to Kabira Bay, and it exceeded my expectations. The bus guide's stories were fascinating, and they played the sanshin and sang on the bus. For lunch, we had local beef hamburgers at a restaurant from the Higashi Bus group. At the sightseeing spots, there were souvenir shops where you could buy local products. They also had sugarcane juice. The glass boat tour at Kabira Bay had a group discount, which was very economical. It was a lot of fun.

川平湾に行きたいから予約したのですが
期待以上でした。バスガイドさんの話が興味深く、バス内で三線弾いて、歌を歌って下さる。
ランチは東バス系列のレストランで地元牛のハンバーグ。
降りて観光する場所には土産物店あり、地元産物の買い物ができます。サトウキビジュースもあり。
川平湾グラスボートは団体割引になり、とてもお得でした。
楽しかったです。

I was able to circle around Ishigaki Island, and the bus guide provided various explanations during the bus ride, so I never got bored. The male bus guide, who has lived in Ishigaki Island for a long time, sang Okinawan folk songs and spoke in the local dialect, which was great for learning about Ishigaki Island!

I recommend this for first-time visitors to Ishigaki Island.

石垣島を一周できて、バス移動中もバスガイドさんが色々な解説をしてくれるので飽きることなく過ごせました。
石垣島にずっとお住まいの男性バスガイドさんで沖縄民謡を歌ってくれたり、石垣島の言葉を話してくれたり、石垣島のことを知れて良かったです！

初めての石垣島の方にオススメです。

I found this tour during my last trip to Ishigaki. Unfortunately, it was fully booked on the date I wanted to use it, but I finally got to try it this time. I was able to check my large suitcase on the bus, and we enjoyed a tour around Ishigaki Island with a hamburger lunch included. The guide's explanations were full of information about Ishigaki, making it feel fresh even though I had visited several times before. There were many sightseeing opportunities from the bus, but we also got to enjoy the scenery while getting off at various spots. (It was unfortunate that the optional glass-bottom boat was canceled due to strong winds.) The weather was bad, and carrying a large suitcase to the airport using the local bus was tough, so I was glad I made a reservation. Traveling hands-free was really convenient. We arrived at Ishigaki Airport early, which gave us time to buy souvenirs, making our last day fulfilling. I was dealing with a back injury, and my husband had hurt his arm, so it was great to have an easy and enjoyable experience. The driver positively advised, "It's rare to see such cold weather in Ishigaki!" Indeed, it was a memorable experience. I think it was worth the 4,700 yen.

前回石垣旅行に見つけたこのツアー。たまたま利用希望日に満席で利用できなかったのですが、今回初利用。大きなスーツケースをバスに預けられて、ぐるっと石垣本島の観光にハンバーグランチ付き。ガイドさんの説明も石垣情報満載で何度か訪れた石垣旅でも新鮮でした。車窓観光も多いのですが下車観光もしながら景色も楽しめました。（かなりの強風でオプションのグラスボートは全便運休で残念でしたが）お天気も悪く、大きなスーツケースを持ち歩いて空港まで路線バスを利用するのもきつかったので、予約できて良かったです。何しろ手ぶら観光が楽ちん。石垣空港にも早めに着いて空港のお土産も買える時間もあって最終日充実できました。ちょうど私自身がぎっくり腰、主人も腕を痛めていたので本当に楽ちんで楽しめて良かったです。運転手さんが『こんなに寒い石垣の観光もレアですよ〜』とポジティブアドバイス。確かに！といい思い出です。４７００円の価値ありかと。

I have taken this ride several times in the past. It's a convenient course for exploring Ishigaki Island in a short time. Day trips from Naha are also possible (you can get off at the airport).
On this day, there happened to be a marathon event, which caused a delay of about 30 minutes due to stops along the way. We also took a detour, running through different rural roads than usual.
Unfortunately, the charm of Kabira Bay, known for its blue waters, was somewhat diminished due to the drizzly weather. The lunch included in the course was a healthy menu, which might be suitable for seniors.

過去にも何回か乗車しています。短時間で石垣島をめぐるには便利なコースです。那覇からの日帰り利用もできます（空港下車可能）。
この日はたまたまマラソン大会とぶつかり、途中停車で３０分ほどロスがありました。また迂回のため、通常とは異なる農道なども走りました。
なお小雨まじりの空模様だったので、ブルーが売り物の川平湾の魅力は残念ながら半減していました。コースに含まれる昼食は健康的なメニューで、シニア向きかもしれません。

The weather was perfect, and I had the best sightseeing experience. I visited the graves of Taiwanese people without knowing the full story. I was able to learn about a sad history for the first time. Kabira Bay was truly beautiful, with fantastic weather and stunning views. There were sea turtles as well. The hamburger lunch was also very filling. I had a great time sightseeing!

天気に恵まれ最高の観光ができました。台湾人のお墓参りは全く事実を知らないまま行きました。悲しい歴史を初めて知る事ができました。川平湾はまさに、天気最高で素晴らしい景色でした。ウミガメもいました。ハンバーグランチもボリュームたっぷりでお腹いっぱいです。いい観光ができました!

The grove of Yaeyama palm trees was great. The guide's stories and songs, filled with love for Ishigaki Island, were wonderful. The hamburger for lunch was delicious!

八重山ヤシの林が良かったです。石垣島愛があふれるガイドさんの話や、歌も素敵でした。お昼ご飯のハンバーグが美味しかった‼︎

It was so much fun that it ended in the blink of an eye. Although it was cloudy on the day, the visibility underwater was clear and interesting. I recommend going at high tide. For those planning to go, I suggest checking the high tide schedule before making a reservation. It seems that the weather doesn't matter, so even if it's rainy or cloudy, you can enjoy it without feeling down. This is an activity I can definitely recommend.

　とても楽しかったのであっと言う間に終わってしまった。
　当日は曇天だったが、海の中がはっきり見えて面白かった。満潮のタイミングで行くのがおすすめとのこと。これから行かれる方には満潮時を調べてから予約することをおすすめしたい。天気は関係ないらしいので、雨、くもりでも気を落とすことなく楽しめるので、おすすめできるアクティビティです。

I was glad to be taken to the places I wanted to go.
For lunch, I would have preferred local specialties from Ishigaki Island instead of hamburgers.
I recommend the natural juice from Papa-ya and the mineral-rich salt in front of the parking lot at the Yonabaru Tropical Rainforest.
The view from Tamatorizaki Observatory is a spectacular spot where you can see the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice.
The guide's folk songs were also great.

行きたい所へ連れてって貰えたので良かったです。
昼食はハンバーグではなく、石垣島特産物が出ると良かったです。
米原熱帯雨林の駐車場前のぱぱ屋天然ジュースとミネラルが多いお塩はオススメします。
玉取崎展望台からの眺望は東シナ海と太平洋が望める絶景スポット。天気が良ければもっと良かった。
ガイドさんの民謡も良かったです。

This was my third time diving in Ishigaki Island. On the last day, I had been on island tours to Taketomi Island and Iriomote Island, but I was hoping to find a land tour that would drop me off at the airport. I was lucky to come across this option.

The meeting time at the bus terminal was just right, not too early, and I was really grateful that I could store my heavy luggage in the bus's storage space.

Above all, the guide was amazing! Thanks to the bus guide, I had a wonderful time filled with smiles on my last day in Ishigaki Island. I was able to learn about the highlights and the history of various places.

I viewed Momorin Temple from the bus window, so I prepared in advance by renting a bicycle to visit. This temple is accessible by bike from the city center.

ダイビングで3回目の石垣島、最終日これまで竹富島や西表島への離島ツアーでしたが、陸のツアーで最後空港で降ろしてもらえないかなぁ、そんな都合のいいことないかなと探していたら、願ったり叶ったりのこちらへたどり着きました。
バスターミナルの集合も早過ぎることなくちょうどいい、重たい荷物はバスの預けスペースに入れてもらえるので、とっても助かりました。
何よりガイドさんが、素晴らしい！！
バスガイドさんのおかげで、石垣島のラスト笑顔の絶えない楽しい時間になりました。
見どころをおさえた、また各地の歴史についても、
お話を聞けました。
桃林寺は車窓からなので、事前にレンタサイクルで予習して行きました。このお寺は市街地から自転車で行ける場所です。

The view from a sightseeing bus offers different discoveries compared to a passenger car, and you can also listen to the guide's explanations, so it is recommended depending on your purpose.

観光バスからの目線は乗用車とは違う発見があり、ガイドさんの説明も聞けるので、目的によってはおすすめです。

There aren't many bus services, so I joined a tour. Since it was a half-day tour, we covered a lot efficiently and finished around 2 PM. However, if we hadn't taken a lunch break, we could have finished a bit earlier and used the extra time for other activities.

バスの便があまりないので、ツアーに参加しました。
半日ということで効率よく回り、14時頃終了しましたが、昼食をはさまなければもう少し早く終了し、余った時間を他のことに使えたのにと思います。

The first time doing SUP and snorkeling was so much fun!!! I even got to see a sea turtle, and it was so cute! It was so enjoyable that I want to do it again next time in Miyako Island!

初のsupとシュノーケルとても楽しかった！！！
ウミガメにも会えてとても可愛いかった〜！あまりに楽しかったので今度は宮古島でやりたい！

Thanks to our guide Luna's personality, we were able to enjoy canoeing in a friendly atmosphere with the other participants. Later, we received photos, which became great memories. Thank you for your support.

ガイドのルナさんのお人柄か他の参加者の方とも和やかにカヌーを楽しめ、後ほど写真も送っていただき、良い思い出になりました。お世話になりありがとうございます。

You can tour around Ishigaki Island in a short amount of time. I think it's good for those who want to make the most of their time efficiently. After that, it might depend on your compatibility with the guide.

ひと通り石垣島をめぐれます。
時間がなく効率よく回りたい方はよいと思います。
後はガイドさんとの相性でしょうか。

The guide was kind and approachable, and the explanations were easy to understand. It's a very satisfying activity, so I recommend it.

ガイドさんが親切で接しやすく、説明も分かりやすかったです。とても満足出来るアクティビティですのでオススメです。

The last time I visited Ishigaki Island, I explored it by rental car. There were quite a few hassles, like renting and returning the car, getting lost, and searching for parking. This time, since my stay was short and I wanted to make the most of it, I decided to use a bus tour. It was almost the same route as before, but I got to listen to the guide's explanations and enjoyed a student-like experience, making it unexpectedly comfortable and a fantastic time.

前回石垣島を訪れた時はレンタカーで周りました。レンタカーを借りたり返したり、道を迷ったり駐車場を探したりと結構面倒なことがありました。今回は滞在時間が短く無駄なく周るためにバスツアーを利用する事にしました。前回とほぼ同じコースですが、ガイドさんの説明も聞け、学生気分も味わえ想像以上に快適で最高の時間となりました。

I booked this tour on the last day of my trip to Ishigaki Island because it was the perfect time. At Kabira Park, there was an option to ride a glass-bottom boat at a reasonable price, while those who didn't take the boat could stroll around the park. The lunch was delicious Okinawan cuisine, and the view from the restaurant was beautiful. It's also a great feature that they load your luggage and drop you off at the airport along the way. Traveling by bus with a guide to Ishigaki's famous spots allowed me to learn many things I didn't know, making for a quick yet fulfilling sightseeing experience. I was impressed by the friendly bus guide and the skilled driver navigating the narrow roads. Although I participated alone, I was able to create wonderful memories of my Ishigaki trip.

石垣島旅行の最終日に丁度よい時間帯だったので申込みました。
川平公園ではオプションでグラスボートも割安で乗り　グラスボートに乗らない方は公園を散策のようでした。
昼食も美味しい沖縄料理でしたしお店からの見晴らしも綺麗でした。
荷物を積み込み空港で途中下車してくれるのでも魅力です。
石垣島の名所をガイドさん付でバスで移動なので知らない事を知ることが多く、あっという間の観光でした。感じのいいバスガイドさんと狭いを運転する運転士さんに感動でした。
1人参加でしたが楽しい石垣旅行の思い出に出来ました。

We participated as a couple.
Initially, we planned to experience stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the ocean, but due to the wind, we changed the location to a river with mangroves for the SUP experience.

◆Impressions
It was my first time trying SUP, but before getting on, I was taught how to ride and paddle, which made me feel secure about participating.
Along the way, thanks to the personalities of the other participants, we were able to enjoy a fun and friendly atmosphere together.

We took a lot of photos, and I was very satisfied.

During the car ride to and from the location, we enjoyed quizzes and discussions about recommended shops, so it was entertaining from start to finish!

I’m glad I participated.
Thank you very much!!

夫婦で参加しました。
当初は海にてサップを体験する予定でしたが、
風の影響もあり、マングローブ林のある川に場所を変更しサップ体験をしました。

◆感想
サップは初体験でしたが、乗る前に乗り方や漕ぎ方を教わり、安心して参加することが出来ました。
道中も他に参加された方の人柄もありましたが、
みんなで和気あいあいと楽しく参加することができました。

沢山写真も撮っていただき、大満足でした。

行き帰りの車内でもクイズやおすすめの店情報の話など退屈せず、最初から最後まで楽しかったです！

参加して良かったです。
ありがとうございました！！

Due to the one round trip per day, the return flight is after 3 PM. Ishigaki Island has distances between tourist points, making it difficult to wander around alone. That said, I didn't have the energy to drive a rental car, so I chose to go on a sightseeing bus tour.

The course covered all the highlights and was full of attractions. Even as a solo traveler, we started to chat with each other as we spent time together, and I think our sense of camaraderie increased through the guide. I was able to make good use of the free time before the flight and enjoy the charm of Ishigaki Island that I hadn't seen yet before heading home.

Also, group tour lunches often don't meet expectations, but the lunch on this tour was delicious!

1日1往復の航路のため、帰りの便が15時過ぎ。一人でぶらぶらするにも観光ポイント間の距離がある石垣島。とは言いつつレンタカーで周るほどの体力も残っていないので、観光バスでの観光を選択しました。
見どころをおさえたコースで、見どころ満載でした。ひとりでも、行動を共にするうちにお互い声をかけはじめ、さらにガイドさんを介して仲間意識が高まったと思います。飛行機までの空いた時間を有効に使って観れなかった石垣島の魅力を堪能して、帰路に着くことができました。
また、団体旅行のランチって、期待できないことが多いのですが、このコースでのランチは美味しかった！

The content of the tour was good, as many have mentioned. I was really looking forward to receiving the photos taken during the tour (I exchanged LINE contacts with the guide after the tour). However, more than a week passed with no news at all. When I reached out in concern, I was told, "The photo data is deleted after a week, so we no longer have it." Is it really the case that I wouldn't receive anything unless I contacted them? Moreover, they mentioned, "If you don't hear from us two days after the tour, please contact us," but no one I participated with remembers hearing that. Isn't that phrasing usually based on the assumption that they would send the photos first? I gave up since there's no changing the fact that the photo data is gone, but I can't accept this situation at all. There are reviews stating that some guides provided the photo data immediately, so there might be inconsistencies. I urge those who will participate in the future to be very careful.

ツアー自体の内容は多くの方が書かれている通りでよかった。その分ツアー中に撮影してもらった写真をもらえるのをとても楽しみにしていた（ツアー終了後にガイドとLINE交換する）。しかし１週間以上経っても全く音沙汰なし。不安になって連絡してみると，「写真データは１週間経てば消去するためもう手元にない」と。こちらから連絡しないともらえないことなどあるのか？しかも「ツアー終了後２日経っても連絡がない場合は，お客様から連絡してくださいとツアー中にお伝えしています」と。一緒に参加した人に聞いてもそのようなことは聞いた覚えがないと言っているし，そもそもその文言は通常なら向こうから写真を送ってくる前提では？これ以上言及しても写真データがないことに変わりはないから諦めたが，到底納得できるものでない。ガイドによってはすぐに写真データをくれたという口コミもあるため，当たり外れがあるのかもしれない。これから参加される方はくれぐれも気をつけてください。

I'm glad we were able to do it safely despite the not-so-great weather! We enjoyed a relaxing time paddleboarding at a beach that we wouldn't normally reach. Carrying the board from the parking lot to the beach was a bit of a distance, which might be tough for women. I think the scenery would have been even better if the weather had been nice!

天気があまりよろしくない中、無事に行うことができてよかったです！
普段では辿り付かないようなビーチでのSUPでゆったりとした時間が流れていました。
乗るためのボードを駐車場からビーチまで運ぶのが、少し距離があり女性にはキツイのかなという感じでした。
天気が良ければ更に良い景色だったのかと思います！

I was disappointed to hear the day before that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to the wind, as we were supposed to do stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling there at Kabira Bay. However, we had an amazing experience at the snorkeling spot we went to instead, where we saw four sea turtles! It turned out to be the best tour without any issues. Our kind guide, Saito, took a lot of pictures for us, and the hamburger and spam rice balls he recommended were incredibly delicious! Thank you so much! I received a lot of information and now I want to visit Ishigaki Island again, and I would love to join a tour with a specific request! I really appreciate everything. It was an incredibly fun time! ✌️

川平湾でサップ＆青の洞窟シュノーケルのはずが風の影響で青の洞窟に行けないと前日連絡がありガッカリしていましたが、代わりに行ったシュノーケルポイントでウミガメを4匹も見れる貴重な体験ができ、全く問題なく最高のツアーになりました。
優しいガイドの齊藤さんが沢山写真も撮ってくれたし、教えてもらったハンバーガーもスパムおにぎりもめっちゃ美味しかった！本当にありがとうございますまだまだ沢山情報をもらったので、また石垣島に行きたいと思ったし、指名してツアーに参加したいぐらいです！お世話になりました。最高に楽しい時間でした✌️

My first time in Ishigaki Island.
I went on a mangrove kayaking tour, and even though it was low tide, they provided a tour that was enjoyable regardless.
The guide was kind, and I had a great time!
I would love to participate in other tours as well!
