All Reviews for Kabira Bay

The one-week line has two routes: one going east and the other going west. When I have time, I enjoy the scenery leisurely. For five days, 2,000 yen is a great deal! 🉐

一周線には、東回りと西回りの2路線あります。
時間があるときは、まったり景色を堪能しています。
5日間、2,000円は、お得🉐です。

I was glad I could visit the main attractions without having to drive or research where to go, thanks to this tour! The guide shared a lot of information about Ishigaki Island, which was also really great.

運転したりどこ行くか調べなくても、このツアーのおかげでメインどころ行けて良かった！
ガイドさんが石垣島のこと沢山お話ししてくれて、それもすごく良かったです。

If you're planning to explore Ishigaki Island using public transportation, this pass is very cost-effective and helpful. Just by visiting a few major spots like the airport round trip and Kabira Bay, you can quickly get your money's worth.

However, it's important to note that the bus frequency is extremely low. Some routes only have one bus per hour or even just a few buses every few hours, so if you're not careful, you could waste a lot of time waiting. I strongly recommend checking the latest timetable on the official Higashi Transport website in advance and planning your schedule down to the minute. It's especially crucial to have a flexible plan to avoid missing your return trip.

石垣島を公共交通機関で観光するなら、このパスは非常にコスパが良く、経済的で助かりました。空港往復や川平湾などの主要スポットを数ヶ所回るだけで、すぐに元が取れます。
ただし、注意が必要なのはバスの運行本数が極めて少ない点です。1時間に1本、あるいは数時間に1本しかない路線もあるため、行き当たりばったりだと待ち時間で大幅に時間をロスしてしまいます。東運輸の公式サイトで最新の時刻表を事前に確認し、分刻みでスケジュールを組んでおくことを強くお勧めします。特に帰りの便を逃すと大変なので、余裕を持った計画が大切です。

I rode the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay for the first time in decades. You can see coral reefs that are over 500 years old, beautiful blue corals, and sea turtles.

However, there was some trash floating in the water when we went out to sea, which was a bit disappointing. I recommend making a reservation since there are discounts available.

数十年振りに川平湾グラスボードに乗りました。珊瑚礁は500年以上の大きい珊瑚礁や青い珊瑚礁やウミガメが見られます。

沖に出るとゴミが浮いていました。チョット残念でした。
割引きが有るので予約がお勧めです。

With credit card payments, you can also earn credit card points. For children, it's a great deal at just 1,000 yen! 🉐

Due to poor tide conditions, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but the sea we were taken to instead was even more beautiful than I imagined, and I was surprised! Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles, the guide provided very clear and thorough explanations, which made me very satisfied.

海潮不良のために、青の洞窟には行けなかったけど、代わりに連れて行って頂いた海が、想像以上にキレイでびっくり!
ウミガメには会えなかったけど、ガイドさんがすごくわかりやすく丁寧な説明で大満足。

This is a very economical bus pass that allows you to ride for a full five days (120 hours) for just 2000 yen. You show the Veltra voucher at your first boarding to receive your ticket. The boarding time is indicated, and from that point, you can ride for 120 hours. Depending on your boarding time, you can ride for up to six days.

You can also board from Ishigaki Airport, so there’s no waste. The second and third images show the places I visited by bus. However, there are quite a few bus stops with limited service, so you need to carefully check the timetable and plan your schedule. If you get the timing wrong, you may not be able to return to your hotel or the airport.

5日間ではなく、丸5日間（120時間）2000円でバスに乗車できる、とってもお得なバスのフリーパスです。
一番最初の乗車時にベルトラのバウチャーを見せて、チケットを貰います。乗車時間が出てるので、それから120時間乗車可能。
乗車時間次第で6日間乗車できます。
石垣空港からも乗車できるので、無駄がありません。
2・3枚目の画像は、バスで行ったところ。
ただ本数は少なめのバス停も結構あるので、時刻表をじっくり見て予定を組み立てる必要があります。
時間を間違えると、ホテルや空港へ戻れなくなります。

Due to poor weather conditions on the day, both the canoeing and snorkeling plans (location and time) had to be changed, but we were fortunate to experience almost no rain, and the canoeing even had some sunny moments, making it a wonderful day!

I appreciated the early notification about the changes to the schedule the day before.

We had children with us, and I was happy that the staff engaged with us a lot during canoeing and adjusted the pace for snorkeling to accommodate the kids. I initially thought the photos would be an extra charge, but I was thrilled to receive many high-quality commemorative photos for free. The sightseeing information during our travel was also great!

I would love to use your services again. Thank you very much! 😊

当日天候不良のため、カヌーもシュノーケリングもプラン（場所、時間）を変更しての実施となりましたが、どちらもほぼ雨に降られることなく、カヌーは晴れ間も見えとても良い1日になりました！
前日の予定変更も早めにご連絡くださり、ありがたかったです。
子連れでしたが、カヌーでは沢山声をかけてくださり、シュノーケリングでは子供のペースに合わせてゆったりと泳いでくださったのが嬉しかったです。写真も別料金かと思っていたのですが、クオリティ高い記念になる写真を沢山無料で頂いて感激しました。移動中の観光案内も良かったです！
また利用させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございました😊

It's convenient to visit tourist spots, local supermarkets, drugstores, and Don Quijote within the island. It's a great deal at 2000 yen for five days. You just need to show your ticket to the driver when you get on and off.

島内の観光地、地元のスーパー、ドラックストア、ドン・キホーテなどに行くのに便利です。5日で2000円はとてもお得です。乗る時、降りる時にチケットを運転手さんに見せるだけです。

Since tickets can only be purchased with cash on the bus and in the office, it was perfect for someone like me who prefers using cards! Also, I just had to show the ticket to the driver without having to scan it, so I could keep it in a transparent phone case and show it easily without losing it, which was very convenient!

バスの車内や事務所では現金でしか購入できないのでカード派の私にはピッタリでした！また、チケットをかざしたりせずに運転手さんに見せるだけなので透明なスマホケースに挟んでそのまま見せれて無くさず快適でした！

After checking in, it's just a short walk to the sandy beach. On the day of our visit, it was sunny, and I was first amazed by the beauty of Kabira Bay. The white sandy beach and the crystal-clear sea were stunning. I could have watched it forever without getting on a boat. There was no wait time for the boat, and we departed right away. The view of the seabed from the glass-bottom boat was incredible, with a variety of corals and fish to see. Although I didn't get to see one, I heard that if you're lucky, you might spot a sea turtle as well. There were various explanations provided, and the experience lasted about 30 minutes, which was just right.

受付終えてから出発する砂浜まで徒歩すぐです。
当日は、晴れでしたが、まず川平湾の美しさに驚きました。白い砂浜、透明度の高い海。
ボートに乗らなくてもずっと見ていられそうでした。
ボートまでそんな待ち時間もなくすぐに出発しました。グラスボートから見る海底は、素晴らしく様々なサンゴや魚を見ることができました。自分は、見ることができませんでしたが運がよいと海ガメも見ることができるらしいです。いろいろな説明もあり体験時間は約30分とちょうどよかったです。

At the end of January, my family participated in a one-day tour. We were picked up at our hotel, and in the morning, we had a canoe experience. When we arrived at Kabira Bay, we were amazed by the beauty of the ocean. There were no other people around except for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery. Even the children, who were experiencing this for the first time, were able to paddle without any issues.

For lunch, we had a break at the island terminal. We ate at our favorite restaurant and gathered back at the terminal at 1:30 PM. On that day, the wind was strong, so we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but we had a snorkeling experience in Osaki Bay instead. At first, the water was cold, but I quickly got used to it and it wasn't cold anymore.

The children, who are not great swimmers, were able to hold onto floaties and move around comfortably, which was reassuring. There were beautiful fish and coral, and I was particularly impressed to see a sea snake. The guide frequently checked on our well-being, so even with the kids around, I was able to focus and enjoy watching the fish.

I highly recommend snorkeling even in winter, as it can be done without any problems.

1月末に家族で１日コースに参加しました。
ホテルまで迎えに来て貰い、午前中はカヌー体験です。
川平湾に到着して海の綺麗さに感動しました。人も私達以外は誰も居なくて景色を楽しむ事が出来ました。
初めて体験する子供達でも問題なく漕ぐことが出来ました。
お昼は離島ターミナルで一度解散です。好きなお店でお昼を食べて13:30に離島ターミナルに集合です。
当日は風が強く青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが大崎湾でシュノーケリング体験をしました。
最初、水が冷たかったのですが直ぐに慣れて寒くなかったです。
泳ぎが苦手な子供達は浮き輪に捕まり進んでくれますので安心です。
綺麗なお魚や珊瑚がいて、特にウミヘビが見れて感動しました。
ガイドさんが体調確認を頻回にしてくれますので、子供達が居ましたが安心して私は夢中でお魚を見ることが出来ました。
冬でも、シュノーケリングが問題なく出来るのでお勧めです。

I have visited Ishigaki Island many times, but this time I used the free pass for the first time. When I arrived at the airport and showed the printed reservation ticket to the bus driver, he immediately handed me the free pass. It costs 1,100 yen for a round trip from the airport to the remote island terminal, so it's very economical and appreciated.

I would like to use this free pass again when I visit Ishigaki Island!

何度も石垣島に来ていますが、今回初めてフリーパスを利用しました。
空港につきバスの運転手さんに印刷していった予約券を見せるとすぐにフリーパスを渡してくれました。
空港から離島ターミナル往復でも1100円かかるので、大変お得でありがたいです。

また石垣島来島の際はこちらのフリーパスを使いたいなと思います！

This time, I was able to conveniently obtain tickets without preparing cash. It's also nice to earn VELTRA points.

今回も現金用意しないで便利にチケットを入手できました。
VELTRAポイントがつくのも嬉しいですね。

It was my first time doing SUP in the mangroves, but since it was on a calm river, I felt safe doing it. The instructor was kind, which made it enjoyable.

初めてのマングローブでのSUPでしたが穏やかな川でのSUPでしたので安心してできました。
インストラクターも優しいので楽しくできました。

During the three-day weekend, I went to Ishigaki Island and purchased a free pass for the To Bus from Veltra. This time, I used the route bus to visit places like Kabira Park, Hirakubo Lighthouse, and Tamatorizaki Observatory. It was also fun to plan my schedule like a puzzle while looking at the timetable.

3連休に石垣島へ行った際、veltraから東バスのフリーパスを購入しました。
今回は川平公園、平久保崎灯台、玉取崎展望台などに路線バスを利用して行きました。
時刻表を見ながらパズルの様に予定を考えるのも楽しいです。

This was my first time in Ishigaki, and since I wasn't familiar with the geography, I used the bus tour from To Transport. It efficiently covered the key spots.

The bus guide provided various information, including views from the bus, which was very helpful for me as a first-time visitor to Ishigaki.

We departed in the morning from the bus terminal near the ferry terminal. It felt like we were going around half the island, but before returning to the bus terminal, we also stopped at Ishigaki Airport. So, if you're flying back after 2 PM on your last day in Ishigaki, you can make good use of your limited time.

石垣もはじめて。地理も不慣れなため、東運輸のバス観光ツアーを利用しました。
要所を効率よく回れます。

バスガイドさんも、車中からの眺めも含めいろいろ案内してくれたので、はじめて石垣に行った私には、とてもありがたかったです。

離島ターミナル近くのバス発着所から朝出発。島を半周してくる感じですが、バス発着所に戻る前に石垣空港でも止まりますので、石垣最終日の14時以降の便で帰るときも最終日の限られた時間を有効に使えると思います。

I was worried about the rain forecast, but we were able to sightsee without much rain. There were a lot of clouds, but Kabira Bay was beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the fish clearly from the glass-bottom boat. I imagine it would be even more beautiful on a sunny day. It was great to hear the bus guide's stories and songs as well. It was helpful that we could go to the airport, so we didn't waste half a day and were able to enjoy sightseeing.

雨の予報で心配していましたが
ほとんど降られる事なく観光できました
雲は多かったですが
川平湾キレイでした
グラスボートでは魚がよく見え楽しめました
晴れたらもっとキレイなんだろうな
バスのガイドさんの話や歌も聞けて良かったです
空港まで行けるので半日無駄にせずに観光できて助かりました

I used the bus for sightseeing, and I think I got my money's worth over the two days. Even when going to the city for dinner, I casually used the bus for just a two-station ride. I will use it again.

バスを利用しての観光をしたので、2日間で、元が取れたと思います。夕飯で、市街地に行く際にも、2駅分の移動でも、気軽にバスを利用しました。また、利用します。

I was able to see scenery that I can't experience in Tokyo and its surrounding areas from inside the bus, making it an amazing plan.

僕が住んでいる東京及びその周辺の地域でも味わえないような景色をバスの車内から見る事が出来て、凄い良い計画になりました。

A 3-night, 4-day solo trip to the Yaeyama Islands.

On the final day, the bus tour around Ishigaki Island allowed me to thoroughly enjoy all the famous spots I wanted to visit, thanks to the high-level guidance from the driver and bus guide. The sun also made an appearance at the beach, so I got to see the stunning Ishigaki Blue 🩵, which was amazing.

When I visit again, I definitely want to recommend this tour to my acquaintances as well.

3泊4日の八重山ひとり旅。
最終日の石垣島バスツアーは、思うところすべての名所めぐりと、ドライバーとバスガイドのハイレベルの案内で、存分に満喫できました。
海では，太陽も顔を出してくれたので，石垣ブルー🩵も見れてサイコーでした。
また訪れるときはもちろん、知り合いにもオススメしたいツアーとなりました。

It was great to have a free pass that allowed me to pay in advance with a credit card and freely travel by bus to various places, including the airport, Kabira Bay, the Maebara Yaeyama Palm Grove, the Shisa Farm, Ishigaki Yaima Village, and Ishigaki Island Miru Miru Honpo. It was a good deal and very convenient.

事前にクレカで支払うことが出来て、空港との往復に加え、川平湾、米原ヤエヤマヤシ群落、シーサー農園、石垣やいま村、石垣島ミルミル本舗など自在にバスで巡ることが出来てお得で便利なフリーパスで良かったです。

I stayed in Ishigaki Island for three days, but the weather wasn't very favorable (mostly cloudy with some light rain), and the only sunny day was during the tour on January 24th. Even during the tour, there were quite a few clouds, and it was a mix of sunny and cloudy; just when I thought the sun was shining, it would quickly hide again. Still, I was glad to see the beautiful blue sea of Ishigaki Island.

The Tamatorizaki Observatory has a short stay time, so it's better to hurry.

The tour guide was very skilled at playing the sanshin and singing, and they even taught us how to whistle with our fingers; they were truly talented. I learned a lot from their stories about the classical folk songs and traditions of the Yaeyama Islands. They shared many interesting tales about Ishigaki Island.

The driver also slowed down at key points to show us the scenery, making it a great tour. Especially on a nice weather day, the sea must be stunning.

石垣島に3日間滞在しましたがあまり天候に恵まれず（ほぼ曇りで小雨有り）、晴れたのははツアーの日1月24日だけでした。
ツアーの最中もかなり雲が多く晴れたり曇ったりで、日が差した！と思ったらまたすぐ隠れるという感じでした。
それでもなんとか石垣島のブルーの海が見れて良かったです。
玉取崎展望台は滞在時間が短いので、急いだ方が良いです。

添乗員さんは三線や歌がとてもお上手で、指笛を教えてくださったり本当に芸達者でした。
八重山の古典民謡、伝承などのお話も大変勉強になりました。
石垣島の面白い話をたくさんしてくれます。

運転手さんも要所要所で徐行して景色を見せてくださり、良いツアーだと思います。
特に良い天気の日は海がきれいで最高でしょう。

I was planning to go without a rental car, so I made a reservation in advance. I think I got my money's worth without the stress of worrying about bus fares!

レンタカーなしで行く予定だったので使おうと思って事前に予約しました　バス料金を気にするストレスもなく元も取れたかと思います!

I think it would be a good idea to plan to visit the main spots in Ishigaki and have them take you to the airport on the last day of your stay in the Yaeyama Islands.

石垣のメインスポットまわって頂けるし、空港まで送って頂けるので、八重山滞在最終日に予定すると良いと思います。

It costs 550 yen one way from the airport to the city center, and it costs over 700 yen one way to Kitahira Bay. So, using this ticket to go to Kitahira Bay in one day was an excellent value!

空港から市街地まで片道550円かかり、また北の川平湾までは片道700円以上かかるので、このチケットで一日で川平湾まで行ったらコスパ良すぎでした！

I often saw pictures of water buffalo, but I actually rode one across the sea. Each water buffalo has its own personality; some are laid-back, while others are a bit impatient. I found all their different personalities to be very charming. I also saw mangroves for the first time, and they were amazing. The guides everywhere were very friendly and approachable.

水牛に引かれての写真はよく見ましたが、実際に乗って海を渡りました。水牛によってそれぞれ個性があって、のんびりした牛や、せっかちな牛、色々な性格の牛達がとても可愛く思いました。マングローブも、初めて見ましたが、素晴らしかったです。どこのガイドの方達もとても気さくで親しみやすかったです

The transparent sea and the fish and coral that I usually can't see were absolutely amazing. I was moved and very satisfied with my trip to Okinawa. I want to come back again.

透き通った海に普段見る事の出来ない魚や珊瑚は最高に良かったです
感動と沖縄に旅して満足しました。
また来たいと思いました

My first solo trip to Ishigaki.

I was lucky to have a bright, sunny day with high temperatures, making it the perfect trip.

The male driver and the female guide were both smiling, and she explained various things about Ishigaki during the ride. I was truly healed by the beautiful scenery, the atmosphere of the island, and their smiles. It was really enjoyable.

My friend said she wants to come too, so next time, we'll participate together!

初めての石垣にひとり旅。

運良くピカピカの晴天で気温も高く、最高の旅でした。

運転手の男性、ガイドのお姉さま、お二人ともニコニコ笑顔で、お姉さまは車中で石垣の色々な事を説明してくれました。
綺麗な景色と島の雰囲気と、お二人の笑顔に癒され、本当に楽しかったです。

友達も来たいと言っていたので、次回は２人で参加させてもらいます！

Ishigaki Island has bus routes that cover most of the island. There are more than one bus every 30 minutes from the airport to the ferry terminal, making it convenient.

石垣島では、島の殆どにバス路線が有ります。空港から離島ターミナルまでは、30分に一本以上有るので便利です。
