All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I booked a bus tour and a water buffalo cart. We departed from Ishigaki Port at 1 PM, enjoyed the bus tour, the water buffalo cart, and had some free time for sightseeing, then returned to Ishigaki Port on the first ferry from Taketomi Island at 4 PM. The guidance at various points was accurate, so I didn't get lost and had a great time!

バス観光と水牛車を申し込みました。午後１時に石垣港を出港し、バス観光、水牛車、自由観光して、午後４時の竹富島初の船で石垣港へ戻りました。所々での案内も的確で迷うことも無く、満喫出来ました！

It was a wonderful visit to Taketomi Island with a temperature of 26°C even in winter. I signed up for the water buffalo cart tour, and after riding the cart, I rented a bicycle. This was the right choice, as I was able to take a nice ride around the West Pier and the beach, enjoying the beautiful scenery. I definitely want to visit Taketomi Island again and spend some relaxing time there.

I recommend renting a bicycle and suggest staying for as long as possible.

冬なのに26℃という気温でとてもすばらしい竹富島観光でした。
水牛車コースのツアーを申し込みましたが、水牛車に乗ったあとで
レンタサイクルを借りました。
これが正解で、西桟橋やビーチをぐるっと一回りして素晴らしい景
色を見ることができました。
是非また竹富島に行ってのんびりとした時間を過ごしたいです。

自転車を借りることをおすすめします
時間はできる限り長い時間の滞在をおすすめします

I wanted to visit Taketomi Island, which is easily accessible from Ishigaki Island, so I used this tour. The reason I chose this tour is that it's incredibly affordable! The round trip to Taketomi Island costs about 1,400 yen, and the water buffalo cart ride is 1,500 yen, but this tour is only 2,000 yen total!

Once you receive your tickets directly at the counter, you can board the boat individually, and they provide transportation to the water buffalo cart. You can choose to return at either 4 PM or 5 PM, allowing you to stroll around Taketomi Island or rent a bicycle without feeling rushed.

If you're going to Taketomi Island, I absolutely recommend this tour. I will definitely use it again!

石垣島に行くと気軽に行ける島、竹富島に行きたくて利用しました。
このツアーを選んだ理由は、とにかくおトクだからです！！
竹富島まで行くのに往復で1,400円位と、水牛車で1,500円かかる所が、このツアーは全部で2,000円！
ツアーも直接カウンターでチケットをもらえば後は個人で船に乗って送迎してくれて水牛車に乗って
帰りの時間も16時か17時が選べるので、竹富島内で散歩したりレンタサイクルしたりと、時間の制約も焦らず気ままに過ごせました。
竹富島に行くなら、このツアーが絶対一押しです。また絶対利用します！！

Our arrival was an hour earlier, and when I asked if we could move our participation time up, they kindly agreed! My 3-year-old daughter was thrilled to find star sand. It was impossible to rent bikes with a child, so the bus was a great help!

到着が1時間早くなり、参加時間を前倒しできないか相談したら快く受けてくださいました！
３歳の娘は星の砂を見つけて大喜び。子連れではレンタサイクルは無理なのでバスが助かりました！

The guides we met on each island were very friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Since they had all lived in the area for a long time, they kindly shared information about the history, climate, and culture that wasn't included in guidebooks, leading to many discoveries.

各離島でお会いしたガイドの方がとても気さくで、ツアーを充分満喫できました！現地で長くて住まれている方ばかりでしたので、歴史や気候、文化などガイドブックに掲載されていない情報なども親切に教えていただき色々な発見もありました。

The service for the boats and buses was smooth and good. However, since cycling takes time, I wish I could have stayed a little longer.

船やバスの対応はスムーズで良かったです。ただサイクリングに時間がかかるので、もう少し長く滞在できたらいいなぁっと思いました。

I participated during the New Year. We were blessed with clear skies and leisurely explored Taketomi Island with a water buffalo.

I've joined the water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island multiple times, but each time brings new discoveries and enjoyment thanks to the guides and the water buffalo.

Sometimes, I want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a slow-paced time like this. With the ferry and water buffalo included, I believe this price is the best offered by Veltra.

After the glass-bottom boat and water buffalo tour, we had a little time before the ferry, so we walked to the pier.

It was a bit chilly to go into the sea, but we had a very pleasant time. Thank you very much.

お正月に参加しました。晴天に恵まれ、水牛でのんびりと竹富島を散策しました。
　竹富島の水牛観光は、何回も参加していますが、ガイドさんや水牛によって、毎回新しい発見や楽しみがあります。
　たまには都会の喧騒から離れて、こんな風にゆっくりとした時間を感じたいですね。フェリーと水牛、グラスボード込みでこの価格は、ベルトラさんが最安値ではないでしょうか。
　グラスボード、水牛観光の後、フェリーの時間まで少し時間があったため、桟橋まで歩いて向かいました。
　海に入るには少し冷たい時期でしたので、とても気持ちがよい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

The round-trip ferry from Ishigaki Island to Taketomi Island, along with the water buffalo cart and the island sightseeing bus, allowed us to get off at Kaiji Beach, making our time very worthwhile.

石垣島から竹富島までの往復船と竹富島での水牛車、島内観光バスでは、カイジ浜での下車もでき、時間を有意義に使えました。

The quality of the experience here is largely influenced by the weather. However, the staff are knowledgeable about each spot and will take you to places where you can see fish, coral, and sea turtles. When the wind is strong, it may be difficult to reach the spots further out. Additionally, the timing of the tides can also affect the experience, so if you want to avoid disappointment, it's a good idea to check the weather and tide charts before you go. I wasn't expecting much during a time when the weather changes frequently, but I was taken to a spot for sea turtles and was able to see two of them. The staff also provided various explanations, which was educational.

ここの良し悪しは、やはり天候に左右される部分が大きいかと思われますが、スタッフの方は各スポットを把握しているので、魚や珊瑚や海亀と見所のスポットに船を着けてくれます。風が強い時は流されてしまうので、沖の方のスポットは難しいかもしれません。また潮の満ち引きのどのタイミングかでも変わるので、がっかりしたくなければ、天候や潮見表で時間帯を調べてから行くと良いと思います。天気がコロコロと変わる時期で期待していなかったのですが、沖の方の海亀のスポットまで連れて行ってもらえ、海亀2匹に会えました。その他、色々と説明もしてくれるので勉強になりました。

Even I, a 61-year-old who usually doesn't exercise, was able to do it. As long as I followed the instructor's guidance, I didn't fall. While nervously paddling on the SUP, I was moved by the fact that I was standing on the water using only my own strength. I was amazed by the emerald-colored sea and the coral, and when I went further out, the deep green water was about thirty meters deep. By that time, I had completely gotten used to it, enjoying the scenery around me while feeling the pleasant breeze. I was surprised that I could do it, feeling both good and a sense of accomplishment. I was filled with gratitude for my daughter and her husband who gifted me this trip.

普段なにも運動をしていない61歳の私でも出来ました。インストラクターの教えを守っていれば落ちることはありません。おっかなビックリSUPに乗り漕いでいると、海の上に自分の力だけで立っている事に感動。エメラルド色の海と珊瑚に驚き、沖に行くと濃い緑色の海もうそこは水深◯じゅうメーター。その頃にはすっかり慣れて周りの景色を楽しみながら心地よい風を受けて、気持ち良さと達成感で私でも出来た事に驚きました。この旅をプレゼントしてくれた娘夫婦に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいになりました。

The mangroves on Iriomote Island are quite rare, so I recommend visiting. To get to Yubu Island, you travel back and forth on a water buffalo cart, and they enhance the experience with stories and performances on the sanshin. After having lunch and seeing the butterfly garden and Manta Beach, we ran out of time. On Taketomi Island, we did some sightseeing with a glass-bottom boat and a water buffalo cart, but we couldn't visit places like Hoshi no Suna Beach, which disappointed the kids. I wish we had more free time on Taketomi Island. Although we had various experiences arranged for us, the schedule was quite packed, so I think it's good to carefully consider which tour to choose.

Lastly, regarding lunch, the children's meal was supposed to be chosen on-site, but we were guided to a prepared table, and in the end, the child could hardly eat anything, and we ended up just paying for it. I did check with the staff, but they seemed busy, so I think it was a mistake.

西表島のマングローブは中々見られないのでお勧めです。由布島へは水牛車に引かれて往復しますが、お話や三線の演奏があったりと気分を盛り上げてくださいます。お昼を食べて蝶々園とマンタの浜を見たら時間切れでした。竹富島ではグラスボードと水牛車での島内観光でしたが、星の砂の浜等には行かれず、子供が残念がっていました。せめて竹富島は自由時間が欲しかったかなー。おまかせで色々な体験ができましたが、かなり詰め込んだ日程ですので、どのツアーにするのか吟味するのが良いと思います。

最後に昼食ですが、子供の食事は１人分現地で選ぶ事になっていましたが、用意された席へ案内され、結局子供はほとんど食べられず、料金だけ支払うことになりました。係りの方には確認をしたのですが、忙しそうでしたので間違えたのだと思います。

The tour around Taketomi Island and the water buffalo experience was enjoyable. I think it's great that you can choose the time. The slow pace was very pleasant.

竹富島を回るツアーと水牛の旅楽しかったです。
時間も選べれるのは良いと思います。
ゆっくりとしたペースが心地良かったです。

Although the weather was unfortunately bad on the day I participated, I was able to spend a very fulfilling day as the title suggests. I was able to see beautiful rainbows multiple times on the mangrove river, and the guide's explanations were thorough, allowing me to appreciate the mangroves better! When we crossed to the island on the cattle, the local guide provided detailed explanations and even sang with a shamisen, making for a wonderful experience. My favorite part was Taketomi Island! The scenery was just as I had seen in guidebooks, and it was lovely! Riding around on a bicycle allowed me to feel the pleasant breeze, creating the best memories! Next time, I want to try again on a day with good weather!

参加した日はあいにくの天気でしたがタイトル通りとっても濃い1日を過ごすことができました。マングローブの川ではきれいな虹を何度も見ることができ、ガイドの方の説明も丁寧で理解しながらマングローブを見ることができました！また牛さんで島渡りをした際も現地のガイドさんが細かい説明や三味線で歌を歌ってくださり、素敵な体験をすることができました。私が一番気に入ったのは竹富島でした！ガイドブックで見たような景色が広がり、素敵でした！自転車で巡った地ため、心地よい風を感じることができ、最高の思い出になりました！今度は天気が良い日に再チャレンジしてみたいと思います！

I was torn between visiting three or four islands, but reducing it to three turned out to be the right choice as it gave us a bit more time. The system of having staff at each destination detach the vouchers was easy to understand, and it felt less restrictive compared to tours that require constant group participation. The lunch was surprisingly delicious, and we were blessed with good weather, making for a fun day. I think it would be quite difficult to manage such an efficient itinerary on my own, so I'm glad I participated.

3島か4島かで迷いましたが、1つ減らした事で時間にややゆとりが生まれ正解でした。行く先々で待つスタッフにバウチャーを切り離して貰うシステムは分かり易く、常にグループ行動を求められるツアーとは違うので拘束感が薄かったのも良かったです。昼食も予想以上に美味しく、天気にも恵まれて楽しい日になりました。個人手配では中々ここまで効率良く周るのは難しいと思われ、参加して良かったです。

On a clear day, the boat to Taketomi Island was smooth, and we arrived in no time. The building near the ferry terminal had restrooms and a shop, so we waited for our glass-bottom boat while browsing for souvenirs.

Boats were continuously arriving, and after waiting for two, the glass-bottom boat departed. We were able to see many fish as we visited several feeding spots. Next was the bus. Since it was a shared ride, we waited at the ferry terminal for another boat to arrive before departing. We strolled along the beach where we could find star sand and headed to the water buffalo cart station located in the center of the village.

At the reception counter of the building, we received instructions on which water buffalo cart to board. We were leisurely pulled through the town, while the person holding the buffalo's reins sang with a sanshin and guided us. After returning to the water buffalo station, we took group photos, individual photos, and received our boarding certificate photo.

I had made a reservation for the boat back to Ishigaki Island when we arrived at Taketomi Island, so I hurried to catch that bus. I regretted not having more free time to explore the laid-back town. It was a bit of a hectic tour, but it became a wonderful memory. (Departure at 1 PM, return at 4 PM)

快晴の中、竹富島までの船は揺れず、あっという間に到着。船乗り場そばの建物内にはトイレと売店等があり、ガラスボートの時間までお土産を見ながら待ってました。
ひっきりなしに船がはいってくるので、2隻待ってからグラスポートは出発。餌付けされている場所を何か所か周り沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。次はバス。こちらも混乗なので、別の船到着を船乗り場で待ってからの出発。星の砂が見つかる砂浜を散策し、集落の真ん中にある水牛車乗り場へ。建物の受付カウンターへ行き、どの水牛車に乗るかの指示を受けて乗りました。
のんびりと街中を引いてもらい、また水牛の手綱を持つ方が蛇三線で歌を歌って、案内をしてくれました。水牛乗り場へ戻って集合写真、個別写真を撮り、乗車証明写真をもらいました。
石垣島へ戻る船の予約は竹富島に着いた時に指定していたので、そのバスに乗れる様に急いで行動。
のんびりした街中、自由散策時間があれば良かったと反省。ちょっと慌ただしい観光でしたが、とても良い想い出になりました。
(13時発16時戻り)

The plan included a bus tour and a water buffalo cart. I used this service five years ago, and at that time, the tour explanations were thorough and good, so I decided to use it again this time. However, the water buffalo this time was an old one that would stop to urinate and defecate after walking a short distance. During a time-limited tour, we stopped more than ten times, which significantly reduced our free time. Because it was urinating so often, there was little sightseeing commentary, and on top of that, we were subjected to a tone-deaf song that made it hard to tell whose song it was (it should have been a song by Rimi Natsukawa...). I hope they can improve this with a sense of professionalism, as they are providing a service for which they receive payment from customers.

　バス観光と水牛車のプランであった。5年前にも利用し，そのときは観光の説明もしっかりしてくれていてよかったので今回も利用した。しかし，今回の水牛は老牛で少し歩くと立ち止まりおしっこ，うんこをする。時間に制限ある観光をしているところで，一周する途中十回以上立ち止まり自由時間がかなり削られた。おしっこばかりしているため，観光案内は少なく，さらに，誰の歌であったか分からなくなるような調子の外れた歌を聞かせられるというおまけも付いていた。（夏川りみさんの歌であったはずだが・・・）。お客さんからお金をいただいて行っている仕事であるというプロ意識をもって改善してほしい。

I participated in the water buffalo cart course. I was very healed by the relaxed and calm time. It's a set that includes a water buffalo cart pulled by Ryuu-kun and a round-trip boat ticket, and it's a great value. I think anyone going to Taketomi Island should definitely purchase it!

水牛車コースに参加しました。
ゆったりとした穏やかな時間にとても心癒されました。
水牛の琉くんの引いてくれる水牛車と往復船のチケットのセットですが、コスパ最高です。
竹富島に行かれる方は是非購入すべきだと思いますよぉ〜♪

The weather was unfortunate, but I was glad to be able to relax. Next, I want to join a snorkeling tour.

あいにくの天気でしたが、のんびり出来てよかったです
次は、シュノーケリングツアーに参加したいです。

I chose the option that included a water buffalo cart tour. However, the route for the water buffalo cart was not great. It didn't pass by the birthplace of Anriya Kumaya and just went through the village. While there are wonderful beaches on the island, during the 3-hour stay, we wasted 30 minutes on the water buffalo cart tour and spent unnecessary time on taking commemorative photos and buying pictures. It would have been enough just to take the round trip boat to Taketomi.

オプションで水牛車観光付きを選びました。
この水牛車のルートが今一つでした。
安里屋クマヤの生家を通らず、集落の中を進むだけでした。
島内には素晴らしいビーチがあるものの、滞在時間3時間のうち水牛車観光に30分、記念撮影やら写真を買えやらで無駄な時間を過ごしてしまいました。
竹富に渡る往復の船だけで良かった。

I participated with two friends in the mangrove cruise in Iriomote, a round trip on a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and sightseeing by water buffalo cart and bus on Taketomi Island. We were able to efficiently explore the islands. It can be quite challenging to arrange each ticket individually, so I recommend these package tours.

友人と３名で参加、西表のマングローブクルーズ、
由布島への水牛車往復、竹富島での水牛車とバス観光と
離島を効率よく回ることができました。
個人で各チケットを手配するのは大変なので、
こうしたパッケージツアーがお勧めです。

I had a very good experience.
It is also an issue on the participants' side, but I was concerned that the participation of elderly individuals was challenging and affected the overall activities.

非常に良い体験をさせていただきました。
参加者側の問題でもありますが、高齢者の参加には無理があり全体行動に影響が出ているのが、気になりました。

It was unfortunately rainy, but the boat didn't sway as much as I expected. I don't think I could have navigated this efficiently on my own, so I'm glad I participated in the tour! The water buffalo cart was especially great!

あいにくの雨でしたが、船は思ったより揺れませんでした。個人ではこんなにうまく効率よく廻れないと思うので、ツアーで参加者して良かったです！水牛車が特に良かったです！

We participated as a family. We had so much fun that we didn't mind the rain at all. We want to join again next year.

親子で参加しました。雨でもまったく気にならないくらいに楽しめました。また来年も参加したいと思ってます。

I was keeping an eye on the weather forecast, and sure enough, it was pouring rain from the morning. The wind was strong too. I was worried about what would happen, but the large catamaran from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island was stable with little rocking. However, I got completely soaked while switching to the cruise ship. The unique roots of the mangroves were hard to see due to the high water levels, but thanks to that, we were able to dock at a pier where we could see the massive Sakishima suou tree, which is said to be 400 to 600 years old! The glass-bottom boat tour was canceled afterward, but instead, we had a tour of Taketomi Island by ox cart, which turned out to be quite nice. The weather improved a bit in the second half, and I was able to enjoy myself.

天気予報を気にしつつ当日に至ったが、やはり朝から大雨。風も強い。どうなるのか心配だったが石垣島から西表島までは大型の双胴船で揺れも少ない。ただその後、クルーズ船に乗り換える間にずぶ濡れ。マングローブの独特の根っこは増水であまりよく見えなかったが、そのお陰で樹齢400年とも600年とも云われるサキシマスオウの大木の見られる船着場に着岸できた！その後のグラスボートは中止になったが、代わりに牛車による竹富島巡りとなりこれはこれで中々良かった。後半はお天気も少し回復し、楽しめた。

During my stay in Ishigaki Island, the weather was bad, so I was planning to make a reservation for Taketomi Island while checking the weather conditions.
1️⃣ I thought the weather would hold up for tomorrow, so in the afternoon of the previous day, I tried to make a web reservation through Veltra, but for some reason, I couldn't book even though there should have been availability. I had no choice but to look at a different brochure and called a travel agency, where I was informed that I needed to make a reservation by noon the day before. I admit it was my oversight, but I think there was insufficient information about the reservation conditions on the Veltra site.
2️⃣ The next day, I visited Taketomi Island in pouring rain. The bus driver's voice was too quiet, and I couldn't hear the explanations about Taketomi Island well. I would have preferred to have something like a cassette tape to listen to properly.
3️⃣ The bus driver on the way back seemed to think it was enough just to drop us off at the terminal, and in the pouring rain, we were left stranded at the terminal, unsure of which boat to take, leaving everyone confused.

However, Taketomi Island had incredibly beautiful scenery. Despite those issues, even with the heavy rain, it didn't leave a bad memory; the wonderful views outweighed everything else, so I'm glad I went. If the weather had been good, it would have been even better!

石垣島滞在中、天気が悪かったので、天気の様子を見ながら、竹富島の予約をしようと思っていました。
1️⃣明日の天気は持ちそうだからと思い、前日午後に、ベルトラのweb予約しようと思ったら、空きがあるはずなのに何故か予約できず。仕方なく、違うパンフレット見て、旅行会社に電話したところ、前日の12時までに予約しないと行けないとの事でした。自分が確認不足だったと言えばそれまでですが、ベルトラサイトからの予約条件の情報が少なかったと思う。
2️⃣その翌日に、土砂降りの雨の中、竹富島見学。バスの運転手の声が小さくて竹富島の説明がよく聞こえない。カセットテープとかでもいいから、きちんと聞きたかった。
3️⃣帰りのバスの運転手は、ただターミナルに連れてくれば良いと思っているらしく、土砂降りの中、ターミナルに置き去りにされて、どの船に乗ればいいのか、みんな迷ってた。

でも、竹富島はとても素晴らしい景色だった。そんな事があっても、大雨でも、嫌な思い出に残らず、あの、素敵な景色の方が上回るくらいなので、行けた事が良かった。天気が良ければ、もっと最高！

Although it was a bit disappointing to experience the water buffalo cart ride in the rain due to bad weather, I was comforted by the cute water buffalo moving at their own pace. I also enjoyed a relaxing time listening to the stories and singing of the guide.

悪天候で雨の中での水牛車体験でちょっと残念でしたが　かわいい水牛さんのマイペースで進む水牛車に癒されました。ガイドのお兄さんの話や歌声にも癒されのんびりした時間楽しめました。

In the half-day course in the afternoon, we toured by glass-bottom boat, bus, and water buffalo cart. It rained quite a bit, but I enjoyed it thanks to the guide's explanations. I think the character of the water buffalo, Tomi, was something special. The self-driving water buffalo cart was quite advanced as well.

午後からの半日コース、グラスボート、バス観光、水牛車で回りました。雨が結構降りましたが、ガイドさんの説明で楽しめました。水牛のトミくんのなんとも言えないキャラクターが良かったと思います。それにしても自動運転水牛車は先進的でした。

The water buffalo walking experience was perfect for families with children. The transportation was smooth, which was great. The cost performance was excellent, and I highly recommend it.

水牛の散歩体験など、子連れにはベストでした。また移動もスムーズでよかったです。
コスパは十分あり、オススメです。

I was worried about taking my elderly mother on the tour, but the staff were kind and we were able to travel smoothly and enjoyably. The weather was bad, and the glass boat was canceled, but they provided an alternative plan, so we didn't have any downtime. My mother said she didn't feel any discomfort at all and had a great time.

高齢の母を連れてのツアーなので心配でしたが、スタッフの方々も親切でスムーズに楽しく旅行できました。天候が悪く、グラスボートが欠航になってしまったのですが、代案に変えてくださったので時間を持て余すこともありませんでした。
母も全く辛くなかったし、とても楽しかったと話しております。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island and my first time on a Segway! ✩.*˚ Since it was just my husband and me, we were able to enjoy it in a relaxed manner without anyone else joining us. Fortunately, the weather was great, and even in December, it was warm enough to wear short sleeves, allowing us to ride comfortably in nature. The instructor was also very polite, and the explanations were easy to understand, plus we even had a tea time. I definitely want to stop by again when I travel to Ishigaki Island. After the Segway experience, we enjoyed strolling around Banna Park as well.

初石垣島、初セグウェイでした✩.*˚
他の方と一緒にはならず私たち夫婦だけだったのもあり、気楽に楽しめました！
幸いお天気も良く、12月でも半袖で過ごせるほどの気候で大自然の中を気持ちよく乗ることが出来ました。
インストラクターの方も丁寧で、説明もわかり易く、ティータイムまでありました。
また石垣島に旅行した際は是非立ち寄りた糸思います。
セグウェイ体験が終わってもバンナ公園を散策したり楽しめました。
