I explored the mangroves of Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. On Yufu Island, I had a bento box with various delicious side dishes. On Taketomi Island, I took a water buffalo ride around the island and rented a bicycle to visit Kondoi Beach, where I took a break at a café. It was so hot, and I really wore myself out, but I thoroughly enjoyed the blue sky, white clouds, and the southern island atmosphere! Next time, I’d like to visit Kuro Island and Kohama Island.♡
西表島のマングローブ、由布島、竹富島と周遊しました。由布島ではお弁当を食べました、色々なおかずがあって美味しかったです。
竹富島では、水牛で島内一周+レンタサイクルでコンドイ浜、カフェで一休み。
暑くて暑くて、、体力が擦り減りましたが、青い空と白い雲、南の島を満喫できました!!
次回は黒島や小浜島に行ってみたいです♡

We participated as a family. Due to bad weather, we went snorkeling at a spot other than the Blue Cave, but the guide was really considerate of my and my child's condition, allowing us to take it slow, which I truly appreciated. Being able to give my first-grade child their first snorkeling experience and the chance to encounter a sea turtle became the best memory. Thank you very much!
家族での参加でした。
天候不良で青の洞窟ではないスポットのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドの方が私や子どもの体調を気遣ってくれて、ゆっくり進めてくれたのが、本当にありがたかったです。
小学校1年生の子どもに人生初のシュノーケリング体験やウミガメとの出会いをプレゼントできたのが、最高の思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました!

In the morning, we participated in a SUP session at Kabira Bay, and in the afternoon, we joined a snorkeling tour with the family. I was worried about the rain that started the day before, but somehow it held off, and the tour went ahead! It was the first experience for all of us with SUP, but the instructor provided thorough guidance, and we had a great time(^^).
In the afternoon, due to the weather, we changed from the Blue Cave to Okasaki Beach for snorkeling, but thanks to that, we were able to see a sea turtle☆ The underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful, and we saw coral and many fish! If we have the chance to come again, there's no doubt we'll experience it once more!
午前中は川平湾でSUP、午後はシュノーケリングのツアーに家族で参加しました。前日から降り始めた雨が気掛かりでしたが何とか持ち堪えツアーは決行!SUPは家族全員初体験でしたが、インストラクターの方が丁寧にレクチャーしてくれてすごく楽しめました(^^)
午後のシュノーケリングは天気の都合で青の洞窟から大崎ビーチに変更になりましたが、そのおかげか、ウミガメに会うことが出来ました☆
海の中もすごく綺麗で珊瑚やたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました!
また今度来ることがあったらもう一度体験すること間違いなしです!

I participated in a tour that included a glass-bottom boat.
Aside from the walking time on Yufu Island and Taketomi Island, there was little distance to walk, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the bus, boat, and water buffalo rides. The lunch on Yufu Island was surprisingly delicious.
If you don't have a plan for the free time on Taketomi Island, you might quickly run out of time. The free time on Taketomi Island was mostly taken up by the glass-bottom boat tour and the water buffalo cart (which was a personal reservation), so I couldn't visit any shops or go to the beach. For those who want to explore the island, I recommend renting a bicycle, and for those who want to take their time while viewing the houses, the water buffalo is a great option. The glass-bottom boat took us to a spot where we could see tropical fish and coral, and we were able to view them slowly while receiving explanations. I recommend it for families with small children.
This is a recommended plan for those who want to see various islands in one day but are short on time. I think it will create very good memories.
Lastly, the staff from Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism Co., Ltd. were very accommodating. Thank you for sending back the handkerchief I left on the boat. I will use your services again when I visit Ishigaki Island.
今回はグラスボートを含むツアーで参加しました。
由布島・竹富島の散策時間以外は歩く距離も少なくバスやボート、水牛での遊覧をゆっくり楽しむことができました。
由布島での昼食は意外と美味しかったです。
最後の竹富島での自由時間はプランをたててないとすぐに時間がなくなってしまうかもしれません。竹富島での自由時間はグラスボート(ツアー)+水牛車(個人予約)でほとんど時間がなくなってしまい、お店にいったりビーチに行ったりはできませんでした。島内を散策したい人はレンタルサイクリング、 家屋をみながらゆっくり回りたい人は水牛がおすすめです。
グラスボートは熱帯魚やサンゴが見える地点まで連れて行ってもらい説明をしてもらいながらゆっくり見ることができました。小さいお子様連れの方にお勧めです。
時間がないけど1日で色んな島を見て回りたいという人におすすめのプランです。とても良い思い出になると思います。
最後に開催会社の石垣島ドリーム観光(株)様のスタッフの方の応対がとてもよかったです。船の中に忘れたハンカチを発払いで送って頂きありがとうございました。石垣島観光の際にはまた利用させていただきます。

The hotel pickup was on time. Since participants from Veltra had already paid at Ishigaki Port Terminal, we were able to board immediately without waiting in line at the counter.
The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island had thorough explanations and was very interesting. The bus driver to Yubu Island also provided a detailed sightseeing guide while driving safely. The water buffalo cart crossing to Yubu Island was leisurely, and it was a pleasant time listening to the crew's stories and island songs.
Lunch was a delicious bento in a cool, spacious restaurant. It was hot outside, but you could relax with a beer for an extra charge. There was also an ice cream shop that offered tasty treats. On the return trip, the boat stopped at Taketomi Island, where most passengers disembarked. Since we were on a two-island tour, we headed straight back to Ishigaki. The return bus had about an hour of waiting time to accommodate those coming from Taketomi, but we were free to board whenever, so we took a taxi back to the hotel as we were tired.
Overall, the timing was just right for visiting the two islands. I was very satisfied and think this is a recommended tour.
時間通りにホテルピックアップ。石垣港ターミナルではベルトラからの参加者は支払い済みなのでカウンターに並ぶことなくすぐに乗船できました。
西表島でのマングローブ遊覧は丁寧な説明がありとても面白かったです。由布島までのバスの運転手の方も丁寧に観光案内しながら安全運転でした。由布島へわたる水牛車はのんびりで、乗務員の方のお話や島唄を聞きながら心地よい時間でした。昼食は涼しい広めのレストランでのお弁当ですがとても美味しかったです。外は暑いので別料金でビール飲んでまったりできます。アイスクリーム屋さんもあり美味しいです。帰りの船は竹富島に寄り、ほとんど下船されました。我々は2島ツアーなのでまっすぐ石垣へ。帰りのバスは竹富経由の皆様に合わせているため1時間ほど時間がありますが乗車は自由とのことで、我々は疲れたのでタクシーでホテルへ戻りました。時間的には丁度よい感じで2島を回れました。とても満足できます、お勧めのツアーだと思います。

This time, my spouse and I participated in mangrove SUP. Before getting on the SUP, the staff provided a thorough explanation. I was worried about being able to stand on the board, but there was guidance on how to stand, and I was able to keep up with the group.
We were able to see the mangroves, which are a natural monument, right in front of us, and it was a valuable experience. Thank you very much!

The mangroves were not the picturesque scene I expected when I took a sightseeing boat during high tide. I should have gone during low tide. It was disappointing. I had a strange experience with water coming into the ox cart.
The glass-bottom boat in Taketomi Island was more impressive than the one I took in Miyako Island, as I could see coral reefs and other sights. If possible, I would have preferred to see them through snorkeling instead.
マングローブは満潮の時に観光船に乗ったので写真で見るような光景ではなかった。干潮の時に行くべきだった。残念。牛車に水が入って来て不思議な体験をした。
竹富島でのグラスボートは宮古島で乗った時よりサンゴ礁等が見れて感動した。出来ることなら越してではなくシュノーケリング等で観たかった。

It was a day trip to Iriomote Island.
The high-speed boat was comfortable without any shaking.
Due to high tide, we could hardly see the mangroves during the mangrove cruise.
On the way back, it was low tide, but the significant difference in tide levels was clearly visible from the bus window. The water buffalo cart crossing to Yubu Island had seawater coming in at our feet, and there were cheers from the people riding.
Renting bicycles on Taketomi Island was fun because we could go wherever we liked.
I was impressed that it wasn't as hot as I had expected.
西表島の日帰りツアーでした。
高速船の揺れもなく船は快適でした
マングローブ遊覧は満潮のためマングローブはほとんど見えませんでした、
帰りは干潮だったのですが、ただ、潮の干満が大きいのはバスの窓からでもよくわかりました。由布島の渡る水牛車も足元に海水が入ってきて乗ってる方たちの歓声?もありました
竹富島のレンタサイクルは自分の好きなところへ行けるので楽しかったです。

I was able to fully enjoy the two islands of Iriomote Island and Yufu Island. The mangrove cruise on the Nakama River was breathtaking! Also, riding the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island is an experience that can only be had in the Yaeyama Islands. Depending on the plan, there are also options to tour Taketomi Island afterward, where there seems to be a course that includes riding the water buffalo cart as well. For couples in their 60s and 70s like us, it was nice to return to Ishigaki Island by 2:30 PM and then have a little rest at the hotel afterward. The intense summer heat took quite a toll on our stamina. I recommend the course that visits three islands for younger travelers.
西表島と由布島の2島だけでしたが、たっぷりと満喫できました。仲間川でのマングローブ遊覧は圧巻でした!また、水牛車に乗って由布島へ渡るのは八重山諸島でしか体験できません。プランによってはその後竹富島の観光するものもありますが、そちらでも水牛車に乗るコースもある様です。私たちのような70代60代の夫婦にとっては14:30には石垣島に戻ってそのあとはホテルで少し休憩できたのは良かったです。
真夏の猛暑は結構体力を持っていかれました。お若い方々には3島を巡るコースをお勧めします。

I arrived in Ishigaki Island the night before, so I participated in a one-day tour without knowing much about the island's atmosphere.
In the morning, we started with a mangrove tour. Canoeing was easy for both parents and children, and we enjoyed nature in the wonderful mangroves. The guide explained everything clearly to us, who knew nothing, teaching us about the different types of trees, which was educational. On the way back, the guide shared many sightseeing points, and we enjoyed a delicious recommended hamburger for lunch. We were able to incorporate the points the guide mentioned into our itinerary, making it a great decision to join the tour on our first day.
In the afternoon, we went snorkeling and to the Phantom Island. The snorkeling was simply amazing. I had never experienced seeing so many corals and fish without diving. My 8-year-old daughter was snorkeling for the first time, but the guide supported her, allowing her to participate with peace of mind. I honestly didn't have high expectations for the Phantom Island, but when we actually went there, I was overwhelmed by the power of nature.
Although the guides in the morning and afternoon were different, both were very attentive and shared information about other spots as well. I think if you use this tour, it's even more beneficial to include it early in your trip.
Thank you very much for this experience!
前日の夜に石垣島についたので、島の雰囲気も分からないまま、1日ツアーに参加させていただきました。
午前にまずマングローブツアー
カヌーは親子で簡単に行え、素晴らしいマングローブの中で自然を楽しめました
ガイドさんが何も知らない私たちにわかりやすく説明してくださって、木の種類の違いなどを教えてくださり、勉強なもなりました
帰りの車中で、観光ポイントも沢山教えてくださり、お昼はおすすめのハンバーガーを美味しく頂けて、その後の日程にも教えていただいたポイントを組み込め、初日にツアーに参加してよかったです。
午後はシュノーケル&幻の島へ
シュノーケルはただ、ただ感動
ダイビングしなくても、こんなに珊瑚やお魚が沢山見られるなんて、今までにない経験でした
次女が8歳で初シュノーケルだったのですが、ガイドさんがサポートして下さり、安心して参加できました
幻の島は正直期待してなかったのですが、実際行ってみると自然の力に圧倒されるスポットでした
午前、午後とガイドさんは異なったのですが、お二方とも本当に丁寧なガイドや、他のスポットなども教えてくださるので、ここのツアーを利用するなら、旅行の初めの方に組み込むとさらにお得だな、と思っています
今回はありがとうございました

At first, snorkeling was a bit nerve-wracking, but by the end, you got used to it and were able to see many fish and coral!

We participated as a family of three adults (a couple in their 50s and a high school-aged son). On the day of the activity, there were occasional downpours and unstable weather, but there were also sunny intervals, so the activities went ahead as planned.
The canoeing was for two people, so with our group of three, one person had to go solo. It was challenging to paddle due to the wind, but we were able to enjoy it with some support along the way. There was about a two-hour gap until the afternoon snorkeling, so we were able to visit Kabira Bay for sightseeing and a meal, but since we couldn't change into dry clothes during this time, dining options were limited. It would be wise to check in advance if possible.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I struggled a bit with the technique. The instructor was helpful, but time was limited, so it's better to research the basics beforehand. That said, once you get the hang of it, I think anyone can do it (though it might be challenging for families with small children).
The schedule was quite strict, so the pace was pretty fast. It felt somewhat athletic in nature. There aren't any solid facilities nearby for changing into marine shoes, putting on life jackets, or for toilets, showers, and changing rooms (though there is transportation available for those going to the island terminal between the morning and afternoon sessions), so it can feel inconvenient. However, some patience is necessary to enjoy the great outdoors.
That said, it was a wonderfully fulfilling day!
大人家族3人(50代夫婦、高校生男子)で参加しました。
当日は時々スコールもあり不安定な空模様、でも晴れ間もありアクティビティ決行でした。
カヌーは2人乗りで3人グループだと1人乗りが1台です。風もあったので漕ぐのが大変でしたが時々サポートしてもらい楽しめました。午後のシュノケリングまでは2時間程あるので川平湾まで行って観光と食事も楽しめましたが、この間は水着で着替えることができないので食事できる場所は限られます。
できれば確認をした方が懸命です。
シュノーケリングは初めてだったのでやり方が今ひとつわからず悪戦苦闘。インストラクターの方が教えてはくれますが時間はないので、ある程度のやり方は事前に自身で調べておいた方がよいですね。
とは言え、少し慣れてくるとだれでも出来ると思います(小さいお子さん連れは大変そうですが)。
時間キッチリなので、けっこうスピーディーな進行です。割と体育会系な印象です。
アクティビティの場所的にも近くにしっかりとした施設は無いのでマリンシューズの履き替えやライフジャケットの装着場所、トイレ、シャワー、更衣室などはないので(送迎有りで午前と午後の間に離島ターミナルに行く人はあります)不便さは感じます。大自然を味わうにはそういう部分の我慢は多少必要かも。
とは言え素晴らしく充実した1日でしたね。

The weather was nice, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable day! ✨
We opted for a hotel transfer plan. Since we had a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old with us, I was wondering if they would have enough energy for a full day, but then I discovered this tour and signed up, which turned out to be a great decision!
We got to experience sightseeing on Iriomote Island with water buffalo, buses, and boats, and it really felt like we had a taste of island life. The kids were smitten by the cuteness of the water buffalo and even bought a water buffalo plush toy on Yubu Island.
The time spent on Yubu Island was just right, including lunchtime. (It was too hot to explore outside, which contributed to that feeling...)
Next, I want to visit Taketomi Island and Kohama Island.
天気もよくとても楽しい1日になりました✨
ホテル送迎有りプランでお願いしました。
2歳と4歳の子ども連れでしたので、丸一日は子どもたちが体力持つかな…?と思ってたところにこのツアーを発見して申し込み、結果大正解でした!
水牛やバスや船での西表島観光もでき、離島体験できたなという感じを味わえました。子どもたちも水牛の可愛さにメロメロで、由布島で水牛のぬいぐるみを購入しました。
由布島での時間は、お昼ご飯の時間も入れてちょうどよい感じでした。(暑すぎて外を散策できる状況でなかったのもありますが…)
次は竹富島や小浜島に訪れたいと思います。

The bus tour in Iriomote Island was interesting and enjoyable, as the driver shared various stories. The tour of Yubu Island took 90 minutes, including travel time on the water buffalo cart, leaving 60 minutes for sightseeing and lunch on the island. Although it’s a small island, I felt it was not enough time for me. The mangroves were viewed from a boat, so we couldn’t get too close, which felt a bit limited. Since it was my first time visiting Iriomote Island, I was satisfied with just getting a general sense of the place. The bus driver, the staff on the water buffalo cart, and the boat operator were all very entertaining and provided a lot of information.
西表島のバス観光では、運転手さんが色んなお話をしてくださり、面白かったし楽しかったです。
由布島観光は、水牛車での移動時間も入れて90分だったので、島内の観光と昼食で60分。小さな島ですが、私には時間不足でした。
マングローブは、ボートなので際まで近づかず、こんなもんかなぁという感じです。
初めての西表島観光だったので、何となくわかる感じでも十分でした。
バスの運転手さん、水牛車のスタッフの方、ボートの運転手さん、皆さまとても面白くたくさんの情報をくださりました。

I participated in a mangrove canoe tour and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. My children, who are in 2nd grade, 4th grade, and 1st year of middle school, said it was the most fun they had during our trip to Ishigaki Island! My youngest is not a strong swimmer and was scared at first, but thanks to the life jacket and the guide's attentiveness and gentle encouragement, they were able to enjoy it without fear. I was also happy to receive the photos taken during the tour on the same day. Since the kids have requested it, we will definitely participate again when we travel to Ishigaki Island!

I wanted to enjoy the sea on the last day despite the typhoon's impact, so I was looking for a fulfilling plan for the day.
I was worried about whether I could paddle well in the kayak, but I was able to enjoy it comfortably as a beginner. The mangroves were quite mystical, as I don't often get the chance to see them. Since it was the last day, I was glad to have time to buy souvenirs along the way!
During snorkeling, the waves were calm, and there were many fish, offering a view that I can't see in Osaka. I got a wonderful photo taken in the Blue Cave!
I heard that the strong winds mix the seawater, which helps maintain the coral and ecosystem of the southern sea, and after the typhoon passed, the water was clear and very beautiful.
Thank you, Yuga and Hiro, for the fun guiding!!!
台風の影響で最終日にでも海に入りたい!ということで一日充実できるプランを探していました。
カヤックでは、うまく漕ぐことができるか不安でしたが初心者でも安心して楽しむことができました✨
マングローブもなかなかみる機会がないので神秘的でした。最終日だったので間に、お土産も途中で買う時間があったのでよかったです!
シュノーケリングでは、波も穏やかで魚もたくさんいて大阪ではみれない景色でした。

強い風で海水をかきまぜることで南の海のサンゴや生態系を維持するという意味があるそうで、実際に台風が終わったあとは水が透き通っておりとても綺麗でした。

I chose a free walk on Taketomi Island. Since I went during a hot season, I realized the importance of staying hydrated. Even just strolling around, it's essential to keep hydrated, so there are a few places to eat and drink on the island, but make sure to carry your own drinks as well. This is especially important for those with small children!
竹富島でフリーウォークを選びました。暑い時期にいったので、こまめな水分補給の大切さを痛感しました。ぶらぶら歩いてるだけでも水分補給がかかせないので飲食のお店も数店島内にはありますが、自分で飲物しっかり持ち歩きましょう。小さいお子様連れの方々は尚更です!

- Departing from Ishigaki Port to Ohara Port. The boat speeds along, but due to its structure, it doesn't sway much. If you're worried, sit near the middle at the back.
- Iriomote Island Mangrove Cruise. Since it was almost high tide, we toured through submerged forests. Although I couldn't see the mangrove forest I was hoping for, it's not every day you get to see a submerged forest up close, so that was interesting. The boat captain made a lot of negative comments like, "You usually see XX here," and "The water is murky, so you can't see well." Well, I can see that! Please don't add to the disappointment. Let's develop experiences that can only be enjoyed at high tide. I recommend sitting on the right side. Make sure to use the restroom before boarding at Ohara Port.
- Taking the bus to the water buffalo cart station. The bus driver was entertaining, and before I knew it, we arrived at the water buffalo cart station.
- Riding the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island. As mentioned, it was almost high tide, but the water buffalo did a great job pulling us, and we arrived.
- Visiting Yufu Island, lunchtime. Lunch can be eaten cold, so it's fine to explore the island first. It might be a bit early right after arrival. As you walk around the island, you'll reach the coast, but be careful where you step to avoid stepping on hermit crabs.
- From Ohara Port to Taketomi Port. After returning on the water buffalo cart, we took the bus to Ohara Port. Thank you to the driver for the enjoyable stories along the way.
- Activity – Rental Bicycles. I signed up for the rental bicycle plan, but it was a big mistake. The rental shop affiliated with this tour has no shade or restroom, just a ramshackle shed. The staff were unfriendly and just provided basic instructions. There are much better rental bicycle companies on the island, so it's better to book the "Free Walk on Taketomi Island" plan and arrange for a separate rental bicycle company. Most offer pick-up service (reservation required). Watching a mother skillfully ride a mama-chari while the father struggles to keep up is amusing. I also struggled on a bicycle for the first time in decades. Riding around, I felt satisfied as it truly felt like the original scenery of Okinawa.
Overall, this tour was enjoyable, but I definitely recommend avoiding the rental bicycle plan. Taking the extra step to book with another rental bicycle company will lead to a higher satisfaction level.
・石垣港出発。石垣港から大原港
高速でぶっ飛ばすが、構造上大して揺れない。心配なら後部中央付近の座席へ
・西表島・仲間川マングローブクルーズ
ほぼ満潮だったので水没した林の遊覧でした。期待したマングローブの林を見られなかったが、日常水没した林を間近で見ることはないのでそれはそれで。
船頭さん、ネガティブ発言が多い。「ここでは普段○○が見えるんだけど」「水が濁っててよく見えないですね」等々。いゃいゃ、そんな事見れば分かりますって。ガッカリ感に追い打ちをかけないでもらいたい。もっと満潮時にしか体験できない事を開発しましょう。
座席は右側がお勧め。大原港へ着く前にトイレを済まして乗り込もう。
・バスで水牛車乗り場へ
バスの運転士さん、説明が面白く、なるほどって頷いているうちに水牛車乗り場へ。
・水牛車で由布島へ
前述の通りほぼ満潮だったのだが、水牛さんが頑張って引いてくれて到着
・由布島見学、ランチタイム
昼食は冷めてても問題ないので島を見学後でも良いでしょう。到着直後はちょっと早い。
島内を見学しながら歩いて行くと海岸に出ますが、その際足元に注意しましょう。ヤドカリさんを踏みつぶさないように。
・大原港から竹富港へ
水牛車に乗って戻り、バスで大原港へ。運転士さん、その間も楽しい話ありがとぅ。
・アクティビティ~レンタサイクル
今回レンタサイクルプランを申し込んだが。これが大失敗。このツアーの提携レンタサイクル屋は、日除けもなければトイレもない掘っ立て小屋のレンタサイクル屋。スタッフも愛想も糞もなく事務的に案内してるだけ。
島内にはもっとましなレンタサイクル業者が沢山あるので、「竹富島でフリーウォーク」プランで申し込み、別途レンタサイクル業者の申し込みをしましょう。どこも送迎付きです。(当然要予約)
島内の観光はママチャリの母親が颯爽と乗りこなしている後をお父さんがヨロヨロ付いていく様子が面白い。自分も数十年振りの自転車に四苦八苦。
自転車で周ってみるとなるほど、沖縄の原風景って感じで満足。
とまぁ、このツアーはこんな感じ。他は楽しかったがレンタサイクルプランは絶対止めたほうが良い。ひと手間かけて他のレンタサイクル業者を予約したほうが満足度は高い。

During the absence of the representative Sugawara, thanks to the friendly guidance of the staff, it became a very enjoyable SUP experience.
I recommend playing catch with everyone.
I also visited the store you recommended, and it became a great memory.
代表の菅原不在の中、
気さくなお兄さんの教えもあり
とても楽しいsupになりました。
みんなで落とし合いをするのがおすすめです。
教えていただいたお店にも行き、いい思い出となりました。

A hotel near the離島ターミナル (island terminal) is convenient since the morning meeting time is early. I think it's better to choose a low tide time for the mangrove cruising so you can see the roots well. There are many water buffalo, so you can ride without waiting. Although not all of them, you can enjoy the performance of the sanshin.
朝の集合時間が早いので離島ターミナル近辺のホテルが便利です。
マングローブクルージングは干潮時間帯を選んだほうが根本まで見られて良いと思います。
水牛は頭数も多いので待たずに乗れます。全てでは無いそうですが、三線の演奏が楽しめます。

Due to the recent abnormal weather, it was a scorching tour. The guides for the mangroves, the bus driver, and the cart guide all had wonderful conversations that made it enjoyable. The tour itself was quite strenuous, and the cycling on Taketomi Island at the end felt like I was going to die. That said, I definitely do not recommend walking; the distance is considerable. I chose Ishigaki Island as my travel destination to find star sand, but I hardly found any at Kaiji Beach, even after searching. It seemed like the vendors had taken too much for sale.
Anyway, please stay hydrated and use Google Maps to explore Taketomi Island. You might get lost.
最近の異常気象もあり、灼熱のツアーでした。
マングローブの案内の方、バスの運転手さん、牛車の案内の方、とても素敵なトークでここちよかったのです。
ツアー自体はハードで、最後の竹富島のサイクリングは死にそうでした。かといって歩きは全くオススメしません。かなり距離があります。星の砂目当てで石垣島を旅先に決めたのに、カイジ浜では探してもほとんど見当たらず。。業者の人たちが販売用に取り過ぎてるように思いました。
とにかく水分補給と、Googleのナビを活用して、竹富島を散策してください。迷います。

It's really just a basic experience. The location is shallow (enough to stand) and there are no waves, so you can participate with peace of mind. However, to be honest, the time spent actually paddleboarding is less than an hour, and there's not much freedom. I understand that safety is a priority since it's for people who have never tried it before, but it didn't feel like I really did anything with the paddleboard.
本当に体験程度です。場所も浅瀬(足がつく位)で、波もないような所なので、安心して体験できますが、正直サップをしている時間は1時間もない位であまり自由もありません。体験したことない人がやるので、安全重視なのはわかりますが、SAPで何かやったっていう感じではありませんでした。

In the morning, I was worried about whether the boat would depart due to the heavy rain, but by the time we arrived at the island terminal, it was just light rain. When we reached Iriomote Island, the sun came out! After enjoying the mangrove cruise, I finally got to ride a water buffalo to Yubu Island. After leisurely exploring Yubu Island, I had a great time renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island. I was able to enjoy everything efficiently without feeling rushed.
朝は土砂降りで船が出るのかも心配でしたが離島ターミナルに着く頃には小雨に。西表島に着いたら晴れ間!マングローブクルーズを楽しんだ後は念願の水牛に運んでもらい由布島へ。由布島をのんびり散策後は竹富島でレンタサイクルが楽しかったです。効率良く、でもバタバタもしなく楽しめました。

I joined the tour thinking that the mangrove cruise would be the main event. The cruise was just as I expected, and I was satisfied, but the water buffalo cart ride exceeded my expectations and was thoroughly enjoyable. The sightseeing time on Yufu Island was just right.
マングローブ遊覧がメインイベントと思いツアーに参加しました。遊覧は思った通りの感じで満足できましたが、水牛車は期待以上に良く満喫できました。由布島の観光時間はちょうど良い感じでした。

I was anxious about my first stand-up paddleboarding experience, but the staff were very supportive and taught us well, so I was able to enjoy it. We were taken care of by Instructor Ohno. My daughter was a bit slow at paddling, which made her a little anxious, but Instructor Ohno helped her out, allowing her to paddle in a relaxed state. They took several photos with a GoPro, so we were able to capture some memories. Paddling while being illuminated by the sunset felt wonderful.
はじめてのサップ体験で不安でしたが、スタッフの方が親身に教えてくださったので楽しむことができました。私たちは大野インストラクターにお世話になりました。娘はサップをこぐのが遅くて少し焦りましたが、インストラクターの大野さんが引っ張ってくださったので、リラックスした状態でこぐことができました。Goプロで何枚か写真を撮ってくださったので、思い出に残すことができました。夕日に照らされながら、サップをこぐ事はとても気持ちよかったです。

At this price, being able to visit three islands is such a great deal! I jumped at the chance to participate, and I was extremely satisfied. It was really fun.
I joined alone, but they took care of every detail. I was a bit worried that being surrounded by friends, families, and couples might be tough, but it was totally fine. I was able to relax without any worries.
The Nakama River cruise and the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island were both comfortable and enjoyable.
The lunch box was hearty and included local dishes, which were delicious. I even had the chance to buy ice cream for dessert...
They provided plenty of free time, allowing me to fully enjoy Yubu Island. Personally, I would have liked a bit more free time on Taketomi Island.
It would have been even better if I could choose between electric and regular bicycles for rental.
When we got off the sightseeing bus on Iriomote Island, there was no announcement for the ferry to Taketomi Island, and I almost missed it, which was the most stressful part. But looking back, it's a good memory, haha.
For this price, being able to enjoy so much, with lunch included, it was truly a great and fun tour. I highly recommend it.
このお値段で、3島周れるなんて、なんとお得!と飛びついて参加しましたが、大満足でした。
本当に楽しかったです。
一人参加でしたが、細かいところまで、
配慮していただき、お友達同志、家族連れ、カップルばかりでもしかするとしんどいかなぁなんて
考えていましたが、全然大丈夫でした。
気兼ねなく過ごすことができました。
仲間川クルーズも、由布島の水牛車も、ゆったり乗れて気持ちよかったです。
お昼のお弁当もボリューム満点だし、ちゃんと地元のお料理も入っていて、美味しかったです。
デザートにアイスを買って食べられる余裕もあったし、、、
自由時間も十分にとっていただき、由布島を満喫することができました。
竹富島は個人的には、もう少し自由時間欲しかったなー。
レンタルサイクルも電動式と普通の自転車と選べたらもっとよかったです。
西表島で観光バスを降りて、西表島から竹富島への
フェリーへの連絡が、なんのアナウンスもなくて、もう少しで乗り遅れそうになったのが、1番焦りました。
それさえ今となっては良い思い出ですが、笑。
このお値段でこれだけ楽しめて、お昼もついて、
本当にお得で楽しいツアーでした。
おすすめします。

I participated in a tour that went from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, then to Yufu Island, Taketomi Island, and back to Ishigaki Island!
I don't think I could have efficiently visited so many places in just one day without the tour!
You can fully enjoy an extraordinary experience that you wouldn't normally have.
Especially the time spent crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo while listening to the sound of the shamisen was very relaxing.
It was my first time experiencing the mangroves! I was moved by the greatness of nature.
If you're going cycling on Taketomi Island, it's better not to wear wide skirts or pants.
For those visiting in the summer, sunburn prevention is a must! If you're outside for a few hours in a sleeveless top, you'll get burned.

Thank you for using Ishigaki Island ADVENTURE PiPi!
The rain cleared up on that day, and we were able to see sea turtles, making it an incredibly lucky tour!
There are still many snorkeling spots in Ishigaki Island, so please come back again!
