Ishigaki/Yaeyama
I can't forget the brilliance of the Blue Cave! The guide's instructions were perfect, and I was able to enjoy the cave without getting lost. The photo data is also amazing, and I've been looking back at them many times!
青の洞窟の輝きが忘れられない!
ガイドさんの案内が完璧で、迷うことなく洞窟の中を楽しめた。写真データも最高で、何度も見返してる!
The colors of the Blue Cave looked gentle! The guide smiled and said, "Today, the blue has a soft feeling, which is nice," and that expression was just perfect. It was a time that brought peace to my heart.
青の洞窟の色が優しく見えた! ガイドさんが「今日は青がやわらかい感じでいいですよ」と笑ってくれて、その表現がぴったり。心が穏やかになる時間だった。
The bus driver's stories on Iriomote Island were very enjoyable and memorable. I felt a bit sorry for the water buffalo, as its lack of motivation was evident in its walking style, but I was grateful for the leisurely time I got to spend with Genki the water buffalo! On the way back, it was a girl instead of Genki, but the ride was very smooth, and we arrived first.
I enjoyed cycling on Taketomi Island, but there were some gentle slopes, and perhaps due to my age, it was more challenging than I expected.
西表島のバスの運転手さんのお話がとても楽しくて、印象的です。
水牛さんのやる気のなさが歩き方で伝わってきて、申し訳ないと思いつつも、のんびりした時間を過ごさせてもらえて、水牛のげんきくんに感謝です!帰りはげんきくんではなく女の子でしたが、とてもスムーズで1番に到着しました。
竹富島でサイクリングを楽しみましたが、軽い坂道もあり、歳のせいか思ったより大変でした。
If you have some free time, this two-island tour of Iriomote Island and Yufu Island is a great way to enjoy a relaxed island atmosphere. You can sway gently in a leisurely water buffalo cart, stroll through the botanical garden on Yufu Island, and enjoy a peaceful mangrove cruise. You can return to the hotel by 3 PM, which is nice for elderly couples, as it allows time to take a shower and rest a bit before dinner.
時間に余裕があれば、この西表島と由布島の2島ツアーはゆったりとした島時間を楽しむのにいいです。のんびりした水牛車に揺られて、由布島でぶらぶら植物園を散策し、そしてマングローブ遊覧はのどかです。ホテルに15時には戻れるので年寄り夫婦には、晩御飯前にシャワー浴びて、少し休憩できるのもいいです。
Ishigaki Island is best enjoyed by taking your time and not cramming too much into your schedule.
石垣島はあれこれ詰め込みすぎず、のんびりとした時間を楽しむのがいいです。
I was able to tour the streets of Taketomi Island while riding a water buffalo. The local guide was friendly and provided explanations about the town along the way, as well as performed a shamisen song. I recommend this experience for those who want to fully enjoy the atmosphere of Taketomi Island.
水牛に乗って竹富島の街並みを観光することができました。
現地のガイドさんも気さくな人で途中で街並みの解説や三味線の弾き語りをしてくれました。
竹富島の雰囲気を満喫したい人におすすめです。
I was moved to actually see and experience the scenery I had seen in books and encyclopedias as a child. I truly realized that you can't understand the air and scents unless you visit. The exploration of Taketomi Island, which I didn't know much about, was very impressive. Walking along the white sandy paths allowed me to immerse myself in nostalgia. Even though it had an exotic atmosphere, it gave me a strange feeling.
子供のころに本や図鑑で見た景色を実際に見て体験できたことに感動しました。
空気や匂いなど、足を運ばなければわかないとつくづく思います。
あまり、知らなかった竹富島の散策はとても印象的で、白い砂の路を歩くとノスタルジアに浸れます。異国情緒なのに不思議な気持ちになりました。
Don't rush; you should schedule your time with enough gaps. Just walk.
せかせかせずに、間が空くくらいでスケジュールを立てるべし。
歩くこと。
I came to Ishigaki Island for the second time in 30 years! The weather wasn't great, but I rode in an ox cart and felt rejuvenated! I was really moved by the quietly pulling oxen!
30年ぶりに2回目の石垣島に来ました!
天候は良くなかったですが、牛車に乗って、
癒されました!とても寡黙に引っ張る牛さんに感動しました!
Late November can feel a bit chilly, but I think a light jacket should be sufficient.
11月下旬は少し肌寒い感じですが、薄い上着があれば大丈夫だとは思います。
The guide was polite and kind! They told us, "On days when the light is soft, you can take beautiful photos," and the timing for the shots was perfect. A cloudy day became something special!
ガイドさんが丁寧で優しかった!「光が柔らかい日は写真がきれいに撮れますよ」と教えてくれて、撮影タイミングも完璧。曇りの日が特別になった!
Thank you once again. I recommend it for those who will use it beyond just round trips in the city. By using the suburban routes, you can enjoy the feeling of touring around the island.
今回もありがとうございました。市内往復以外にも利用される方はおすすめです。郊外路線を利用しますと島内周遊気分を味わえます。
It was after the typhoon, and the weather wasn't very good during the event. Although I couldn't see a sky full of stars, I was glad to hear stories related to the constellations.
台風が去った後だったりして、天候があまり良くない中での参加でした。満天の星空というのは観れませんでしたが、星座にまつわる話しを聞けて良かったです。
It was my first time exploring the Blue Cave, and the guide was very kind and made me feel at ease while enjoying the experience. The water clarity was outstanding, and I was thrilled to swim with colorful fish while snorkeling!
初めての青の洞窟探検でしたが、ガイドさんが親切に案内してくれて安心して楽しめました。海の透明度が抜群で、シュノーケリングではカラフルな魚たちと泳げて感動しました!
Due to the impact of the typhoon, it was a day with on-and-off rain. I was able to enjoy my long-awaited visit to Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but it was disappointing that I couldn't go cycling on Taketomi Island because of the rain. I think it would be great if there were options to switch to bus tours or discounts at restaurants for rainy days, allowing for enjoyable plans even when it rains. The tours offered by Beltora are very appealing, and I always make use of them. I'm looking forward to future experiences!
台風の影響もあり 雨も降ったり止んだりの1日でした。念願の西表島 由布島は楽しめましたが、竹富島では雨でサイクリングもする事ができず残念でした。雨の場合はバスツアーに変更や飲食店の割引きなど、雨の日でも楽しめるプランへ変更できるコースがあるといいと思います。ベルトラさんのツアーはとても魅力的なツアーが多くいつも利用させて頂いてます。今後も楽しみにしています。
Although the weather wasn't very good, I was very satisfied that we were able to follow the planned itinerary without any issues. I also enjoyed the beauty of nature, and we were able to visit three islands in one day. The guides on the bus and the sightseeing boat were also very good.
お天気はあまり良くなかったものの、全て予定通りの行程をこなすことができて大満足でした。自然の素晴らしさも満喫できましたし、1日で3島も回ることができ、バスや遊覧船の方のガイドもとても良かったです。
I thought it would be canceled due to the typhoon, but I was super lucky that it was canceled the day before. I'm really glad it went ahead. The content was great, and I felt reassured!
台風の影響で中止になるかと思ってましたが、超ラッキーで前日は中止でしたが、
催行されて本当によかったです。
内容も良くて安心しました!
I would like to advise you in advance that the weather can be unpredictable.
天候に左右される事を事前にアドバイスしたいと思います。
It was an irreplaceable experience. It was unfortunate that there was wind and rain due to the typhoon, but I enjoyed a very delicious lunch with Ishigaki cuisine. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart, and listening to the sanshin performance was a soothing time. I recommend this tour for anyone going to Ishigaki Island.
かけがえの無い経験になりました。
台風で風、雨が降ったのは残念でしたが、昼食は石垣料理でとても美味しく頂きました。
水牛車は初めてでしたが、三線の弾語りも聞けて癒しの時間でした。
石垣島に行く方にはオススメのツアーです。
Había tenido experiencias con otras empresas de la zona en las que te llevan a hacer Snorkel con un barco a zonas muy bonitas. En este caso, la actividad se realizó en una playa de la ciudad en la que no había demasiado que ver en cuanto a veces, y los corales tampoco eran demasiado bonitos. En cuanto a la parte del kayak fue un paseo agradable con nuestro instructor Hiro, pero igualmente, eché en falta más información sobre la fauna de la zona, y el poder, haber avisado más especies.
Elegir mejor los sitios donde lleváis a los clientes para hacer Snorkel.
The mangrove cruise passed by in no time, making me forget the passage of time. The water buffalo worked hard to pull the cart to Yubu Island, and they were very clever and diligent. The island was full of plants and connected to the beach, allowing us to have a fun time.
I was disappointed with the buffet for lunch, but the oil soba I tried without expectations was incredibly delicious—was it the magic of shikwasa?
The only downside was the rental bicycles on Taketomi Island; while I could tolerate the worn and rusty ones, the handlebars were crooked, making it very difficult to ride after not cycling for a while.
According to reviews, the fresh mango smoothie at Chirorin Village is the best! I also wanted to try the fresh pineapple smoothie...
マングローブクルーズは時間の経つのも忘れるくらいあっという間に過ぎました。
由布島までは水牛さん達一生懸命に車をひいてくれてとても賢く働き者でした。島内は植物もたくさんあり、ビーチにつながっていて楽しく時間を過ごせました。
昼はビュッフェでがっかりでした、でも期待せずに食べた油そばがすごく美味しかったのはシークヮーサーの魔法?
竹富島でのレンタルサイクルだけが残念、ボロボロでサビてるのは我慢出来るけどハンドルが斜めで久しぶりに自転車乗ったが運転がとてもしにくかったです。
口コミをみてちろりん村での生マンゴースムージーは最高‼︎生パイナップルスムージーも飲んでみたかった…。
Beware of crows ⚠️
I was warned, but a bag containing medicine and cream was stolen from my bicycle basket. As a result, I ended up with sunburn and no eye drops, which was quite a hassle. Let's mak
カラス注意⚠️
説明されてたが自転車のカゴにあった袋から薬やクリームが入ったビニール袋を盗まれてしまいました、おかげでその後日焼けはするは目薬はないは大変でした。
ちゃんと注意されたことは守りましょう
Overall, arranging everything by yourself can be a hassle, but with the bus, ox cart, and boat, everything is taken care of in one go. It allows for efficient travel, includes pick-up and drop-off services, and offers free time, making it highly recommended for first-time visitors.
The boat may lack the luxury compared to other companies, but since you won't be on it for hours, it's not a problem.
One thing to note: the bicycles available for rent are quite worn out. It was mentioned that there would be English guidance, but there was none at all. I applied for the bicycle rental option, and while it clearly stated that those who cannot speak Japanese are not allowed, I inquired whether it would be fine if someone who speaks Japanese accompanied me, and it was indeed fine. It would be better if this information were accurately stated.
とにかく自分で手配したら面倒なのですが、バス、牛車、船、と全て一発です。
効率良く回れ、送迎もあり、自由時間もあり、で、初めて行く方はお勧めします。
船は他社に比べると豪華さに欠けますが、何時間も乗るわけでないので問題なし。
気になった事。
自転車レンタルオプションの自転車はかなりボロいです。
英語ガイダンスあり、と書いてありましたが、全く案内ありませんでした。
自転車レンタルオプションを申し込みましたが、明らかに、日本語できない人は不可、とありますが、日本語が話せる者が同行したら問題ないか問い合わせて、問題ありませんでした。
記載だけなので、正確に記載されていたらもっと良いと思います。
If you're going for the first time, I definitely recommend it. Those who are familiar with it might find it lacking. There is a bicycle rental option, but the bikes are quite worn out, so it might be
初めて行く方は是非。
慣れている方は物足りないと思います。
自転車レンタルオプションはありますが、自転車がかなりボロいので、自分で申し込んで電動自転車借りた方がよいかも。
The tour included visits to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the bus driver's stories based on his real experiences on Iriomote Island; they were interesting and entertaining. I think he might have exaggerated a bit, but I was impressed by his calm way of speaking and how he wrapped up his stories with a punchline. I thought this was really insightful and listened intently. As for the ferry returning from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island, the boarding area was hard to find. There were no announcements at the waiting area, so we almost missed the boat. I wonder if there were others who missed it too.
西表島も由布島も竹富島にも行くツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです。とくに西表島のバスの運転手さんの実体験に伴うトークが、面白くて楽しかったです。多少、盛ってるとこ有ると思いますが穏やかな話し方と、ちゃんとオチのある締め方で感心しました。コレって参考になるなぁ~と思って聴きいりました。竹富島から石垣島に帰るフェリーですが、乗り場が分かりにくかったです。待合所では、何のアナウンスも無かったので乗船がギリギリになってしまいました。中には乗り遅れた人もいたのでは?と思います。
The Mangrove Kayak Tour was a fun and enjoyable activity, set in a beautiful mangrove environment. The duration was just right—not too long or tiring. Unfortunately, the Blue Cave part was changed to a beach snorkeling spot due to weather conditions, but that area turned out to have a rich marine ecosystem. We were lucky to see two sea turtles and beautiful fish —it was an amazing experience overall. Our tour guide, sorry I forgot her name. is incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and full of energy.
Phanton Island really lives up to its name — it’s so unreal in its beauty. Snorkeling was fun, though the area we went to that day was just okay — we mainly saw corals, with not many fish or sea turtles around. Still, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience overall.
Unfortunately, due to the weather, I couldn't experience snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but I was guided to a hidden gem not listed on Google Maps for a snorkeling experience! There were so many fish, and the sea was truly beautiful; it felt like I was swimming inside an aquarium! The instructor was very kind and taught us well, making the experience enjoyable! Thank you very much. I would like to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island.
天候などの都合で残念ながら青の洞窟でのシュノーケル体験はできなかったのですが
Googleマップに記載のない知る人ぞ知る
海に案内していただきシュノーケル体験をしました!!
魚もたくさんいて、海は本当に綺麗で
まるで水族館の水槽の中で泳いでる気分でした!!!
インストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただき楽しく体験ができました!
ありがとうございました。
また、石垣島に行く際は利用したいと思います。
I spent a relaxing time riding a water buffalo cart. Each buffalo has its own personality, and even in just a short time, you can grow fond of them. The mangrove scenery completely made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a luxurious moment wrapped in the tranquility of nature.
水牛車に乗って、ゆったりとした時間を過ごしました。牛にはそれぞれ個性があって、ほんの少しの時間でも愛着がわいてしまいます。マングローブの景色は、都会の喧騒をすっかり忘れさせてくれ、自然の静けさに包まれる贅沢なひとときでした。
In the morning, I picked up my glass boat tickets and headed to Kabira Bay by bus. I was moved by the breathtakingly beautiful scenery! In the afternoon, I went snorkeling. The weather was perfect, the water clarity was high, and the corals were clearly visible. I was able to enjoy the colorful fish, and I was very satisfied. It was worth the effort to prepare and be in great shape for this experience.
午前中はグラスボートのチケットを受け取り、路線バスで川平湾へ向かいました。息をのむほど美しい光景に感動! 午後からはシュノーケリング。天候にも恵まれ、透明度が高く、サンゴもくっきりと見えました。色とりどりの魚たちを楽しむことができ、大満足です。 体調を整え、万全の準備で臨んだ甲斐がありました。
We had a snorkeling tour experience as a couple! It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and he was really looking forward to snorkeling there. Although it was a very windy day in late October, we changed our plan for snorkeling, and thanks to the exciting explanations from our guide and the beautiful blue sea, it turned out to be a very satisfying tour. With a knowledgeable and experienced guide, we were able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind, so I definitely recommend this tour when you visit Ishigaki Island!
カップルでシュノーケリングツアー体験をさせていただきました!
私は初めての石垣島、彼は石垣島ではぜひシュノーケリングがしたいということでとても楽しみに伺いました。
10月後半でかなり風が強い日だったため、プランを変更してのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんのワクワクする説明と、綺麗な青い海に大満足のツアーとなりました。
知識と経験豊富なガイドさんがいてくれたおかげで、安心して体験することができたので、ぜひ石垣島に来た際はこちらのツアーでお願いしてみてほしいです!
I was satisfied with the tour that efficiently covered the remote islands, and surprisingly, there was plenty of time. Since local people acted as guides, I was able to experience the local atmosphere and felt relaxed while listening to the sanshin. This was the most satisfying tour I had on Ishigaki Island.
離島を効率よく回るツアーで、意外に時間も十分あり満足でした。
現地の人がガイドになったりするので、現地の雰囲気味わい、三線聴きながら、癒されました。
私が石垣島でのツアーの中で1番満足度が高いです。
This is a recommended tour!
おすすめのツアーです!
The friendly staff and the driver for the mangrove tour are very helpful and will answer any questions you have, making it an interesting experience. It seems that the timing is divided by groups, but it can be unclear which group you belong to, and the meeting time after lunch can be confusing, which made me a bit anxious. However, if you ask the nearby staff, they will provide you with the information, so you can feel at ease.
親切な対応でマングローブ遊覧の運転手さんも質問すれば丁寧に答えてくれますので面白いです。時間などはグループによって分けられてるみたいですが、自分がどこのグループなのかなどは分かりづらくて昼食後の集合時間などわかりにくいところもあり不安になりましたが、近くのスタッフさんに訪ねると教えてくれますので安心です。
I think it's a good idea to take measures against the sun.
日差し対策をした方がいいと思います。
The light inside the cave was magical and very beautiful! The guide provided detailed information about the marine life, which made it even more enjoyable. The snorkeling had great visibility, making it the best experience!
洞窟内の光が幻想的でとても美しかったです!ガイドさんが海の生き物について詳しく教えてくれたので、より楽しめました。シュノーケリングも透明度が高く、最高の体験になりました!
I participated in a canoe tour for the first time. The person in charge was kind and explained everything in detail, making it easy to understand, and we, as beginners, were able to enjoy it. I was very satisfied to experience something I normally wouldn't have the chance to do! I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity!
初めてカヌーツアーに参加しました。
担当してくださった方が親切に丁寧に説明をして頂きわかりやすく、初心者の自分達も楽しむことができました。
普段体験できないことが出来て大満足です!
また機会があれば参加したいです!
When you ride a canoe, you end up sitting the whole time, so your back starts to hurt, haha.
カヌーに乗るとずっと座りっぱなしになるので腰が痛くなります笑
The scenery of the Blue Cave was truly beautiful, and I was continuously moved! The guide provided a thorough explanation, so I felt safe exploring. Snorkeling was amazing as I got to swim with colorful fish!
青の洞窟の景色が本当に美しく、感動の連続でした!ガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくれたので安心して探検できました。シュノーケリングではカラフルな魚と泳げて最高でした!
