All Reviews for 沖繩活動

It was said that the moonlight was quite strong near the full moon, making it difficult to see the stars, but when I looked through the binoculars, I was able to see many small stars. I really wanted to see a sky full of stars, so I hope to have a chance to try again. The guide's explanations about the constellations were very easy to understand, and it was great to see things like the moon's craters through the telescope, which I normally wouldn't be able to see.

満月に近く、月の明かりがかなり強くて星は見えにくいと言われていたのですが、双眼鏡で覗くと小さい星もたくさん見えました。
できれば空一面の星空が本当は見たかったのですが、機会があればぜひリベンジしたいと思います。
ガイドの方の星座のお話もとてもわかりやすく、天体望遠鏡で月のクレーターなど普段なら見れない物も見れて良かったです。

I aimed to book on the day with the best weather forecast during my stay in Ishigaki Island. It was very sunny during the day, and I was excited to participate, but when we arrived at the site by bus, it was completely cloudy. It seems that the weather in Ishigaki Island can change quickly, and after waiting for about 15 minutes while hoping for the best, the event was canceled (ToT). There's nothing you can do about that.

I received a full refund (though the bus fare was charged). However, I was really looking forward to stargazing in Ishigaki, so I kept an eye on the sky until the last minute the next day and applied again on a whim. When we arrived, in stark contrast to the previous day, there was no wind and absolutely no clouds! The weather really played tricks on us, haha.

Since it was just before the full moon, the moonlight was very bright, making it a bit difficult to see the stars, but using binoculars made it much clearer, and above all, the moon was incredibly beautiful. It was also great that we were able to take turns looking through the telescope. The explanations were very easy to understand and enjoyable, which made it really great. I ended up going two days in a row, but I’m so glad I was able to have my revenge! I think I will go again if I have the chance!

石垣島滞在中でいちばん天気がいい予報の日を狙って申込み。昼はとても天気でワクワクして参加したのですが、バスで現地につくと雲だらけ。。石垣島は天気が変わりやすいらしく、15分ほど期待しながらお話を聞いてましたが中止決定(ToT)
こればかりはしょうがないですね。
全額返金されました（バス代はかかります）。
でも石垣島で星を見ることを楽しみにしていたので、翌日のギリギリの時間まで空をみつつ、ダメ元で申込みしました。
現地につくと、昨日とはうってかわって無風で雲も全く無し！ホント天気予報泣かせですね笑。
満月直前だったので月明かりがとても明るく、星は見え辛い日でしたが双眼鏡を使うのでよく見えますし、何より月がとてもとてもキレイでした。望遠鏡で順番に見せて頂けたのもすごく良かったです。
お話もとても分かりやすく楽しくすごく良かったです。２日連続行ってしまいましたがリベンジできて本当に行って良かったです！
また機会があれば行くと思います！

The guide was fun and explained everything clearly, which was great. It was cold, so I appreciated the consideration of providing blankets. However, things related to nature are inevitably affected by the weather at that time. It must be much more beautiful normally, but it was a bit disappointing due to the clouds. Still, they did their best to provide service given the circumstances.

案内してくれる方が楽しくわかりやすく説明してくださり、とても良かったです。寒かったので毛布などの配慮もありがたかったです。ただ、やはり自然に関するものはどうしてもそのときの天候に左右されてしまいますね。本来もっときれいなんでしょうが、雲が多くて少し残念でした。でもそのときなりの状況で精いっぱいサービスしていただきました。

I think the cost performance is high for the boat, bus tour, and water buffalo cart included at this price. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.

この値段でボート、バス観光、水牛車付きはコストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

The weather was nice, and the staff's service was great, so I had a really enjoyable time! For lunch on Yubu Island, I honestly had no expectations, but the bento felt very much like "Okinawa," and everything was delicious.

There might not be much for small children to eat, but I think it's great for those who love Okinawan cuisine. It would have been tough to manage all the menu options by myself in one day, considering the travel time and transportation methods, so I was glad to sign up and enjoy it easily and happily.

On Taketomi Island, I chose cycling, and my mother, who is in her 60s, enjoyed it without any issues. For the ferry from Ishigaki to Iriomote, I paid an extra 500 yen for the second-floor seats, but the deck seats felt nice with the sea breeze, and even I, who usually gets seasick, was fine.

I appreciated being able to choose from two return times, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. However, it was disappointing that the cafes on Taketomi Island were closed for a while after lunch time. I guess that's "island time." It was the same on Ishigaki, so I regret not being able to relax over tea, but I was able to enjoy delicious ice cream from a shop, which made the heat more bearable.

In any case, I have only good memories. Thank you very much! I appreciate all your help. I would like to sign up again when I go to Ishigaki.

天気も良かったし、スタッフさん達の対応も良くて、すごく楽しく過ごせました！
由布島で昼食で、正直全く期待していなかったけど、ザ・沖縄って感じのお弁当で、どれも美味しかったです。
小さなお子さんは食べる物が無いかもだけど、沖縄料理が好きな人にはいいと思います。
これだけのメニューを自分で1日で回るのは移動時間の計算とか、移動手段とか色々調べなきゃならないし大変なので申し込んで気軽に楽しく回れて良かったです。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選択しましたが、60代の母も問題なく楽しめました。
石垣から西表までの船は1人５００円プラスで2階席にしましたが、デッキ席は海風が気持ち良く、船酔いする私でも平気でした。
帰りの時間も２つから選べてありがたかったし、思う存分満喫でした。
ただ、竹富島はカフェがどこもランチタイムが終わったらしばらく開いてなかったのが残念です。
島時間ってヤツですかね。石垣もそうだったので、ゆっくりお茶できなかったのが悔やまれますが、商店で美味しいアイスクリームを食べられたので暑さも吹き飛びました。
とにかく、良い思い出しかありません。
本当にありがとうございました！
お世話になりました。また石垣に行ったら申し込みたいと思います。

The sky was cloudy, and I couldn't find the North Star at all. I wondered if this is what the starry sky in Ishigaki Island is like... The constellations weren't fully visible, which was disappointing.

雲が多く、北極星が全然見つけられなかった。
石垣島の星空はこんなものかと…
星座は完全には見えないし
残念

I took a mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island, traveled back and forth to Yufu Island by water buffalo cart, and then crossed to Taketomi Island by boat, where I explored the area by water buffalo cart. The water buffalo were very cute, and the person handling them was kind, which made for a relaxing experience. Unfortunately, the glass-bottom boat didn't show the underwater scenery as beautifully due to the weather, but that's unavoidable. On the plus side, I didn't get sunburned, so it balances out. The explanations at each location were also good.

西表島でマングローブクルーズをして、由布島に水牛車で往復し、船で竹富島に渡って、水牛車でその辺をぐるっと回りました。水牛さんがとても可愛く、水牛を操る人もやさしく、のんびりしました。グラスボートは天候のせいで水中がそれほど美しく見えず残念でしたが、これは仕方ないですね。日焼けをしなかったメリットもあったので、差し引きゼロといったところです。それぞれの箇所での説明もよかったです。

The mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island allowed me to experience the great outdoors. At the beach during low tide, many crabs appeared. On Yubu Island, I was able to meet a lot of water buffalo. You can even interact with tiny newborn water buffalo that you can't see in Taketomi.

西表島のマングローブクルーズは大自然を実感できました。
潮が引けた浜では蟹がたくさん顔を出してきました。
由布島では沢山の水牛に会うことが出来ました。
竹富では見られないような生まれたばかりの小さな水牛にも触れ合うことができます。

I chose the rental bicycle plan, and it was just right for exploring. I was able to fully enjoy the original scenery of Okinawa and the beautiful beaches.

レンタサイクルのプランを選択しましたが、自転車でまわるにはちょうど良かったです。沖縄の原風景ときれいなビーチを満喫できました。

The night before, we suddenly decided that we wanted to see the starry sky and made the decision to participate.

However, unfortunately, around 5:00 PM on the day of the event, we received a message saying, "Due to the clouds, there is a possibility that we won't be able to see the starry sky today. Would you still like to participate?" Since we were coming from afar and it’s not easy to visit Ishigaki Island, and although there were clouds during the day, there were also clear skies, I thought it would be better to take the challenge rather than give up in this weather! In the end, I decided to participate! I had a hard time making the decision, but I was impressed by how kindly the staff answered our questions and concerns over the phone (o^^o).

Around 9:00 PM, as we got off the bus with excitement...
the starry sky was breathtaking (≧∀≦)! The staff's explanation using a laser light was easy to understand, and we were also able to see the moon that night, which was exhilarating. During the approximately one hour of viewing time, we were able to see the starry sky for more than half of the time without clouds, which made us very satisfied!

For those who are hesitant because of the possibility of not being able to see the starry sky, I recommend taking the chance to participate if you have the time and money to spare.

On the other hand, there were a couple of things I would like to see improved.
1. I would like to be informed in advance about the prohibition of photography on-site. I had planned to take photos with my camera that day, but it was not allowed. I think it would be great to include a note about this in the tour details beforehand.

2. I would like to know the dress code. It got very cold at the site at night. I think many people only brought light clothing to Ishigaki Island. Although they lent us blankets on-site, I still felt that it was not enough to keep warm. I wish this could have been confirmed in the tour details before participating.

前日夜に急遽『星空が観てみたい！』ということになり、参加を決めました。

しかし残念ながら、当日17:00ごろに『本日は雲が多いため、星空が観れない可能性があります。それでもご参加されますか？』という連絡が。。
遠方からの参加で石垣島にはなかなか来れず、また日中は雲は見受けられたものの晴れ間が広がっていたのでこの天候の中諦めるよりはチャレンジしたい…！と思い、最終的に参加する判断をしました！！
なかなか参加を決められずにいましたが、電話で私たちの質問や相談に丁寧にご回答してくださったのが好印象でした(o^^o)

夜21時ごろ、ドキドキしながらバスを降りたところ…。
満点の星空が見える(≧∀≦)！！
レーザーライトを使ったスタッフさんの説明が分かりやすく、またこの日は月も一緒に見ることができ、大興奮でした。
約1時間の鑑賞時間のうち、半分以上の時間は雲に隠れない星空を見ることができ大満足！

星空を見れない可能性がある…と連絡がきて迷われている方は、お金と時間に余裕があればぜひ参加する方に挑戦いただくのがオススメです。

一方で、改善していただきたいことが2点ほどありました。
①現地での写真撮影禁止を事前に教えてほしい。
当日はカメラを持っていき写真撮影をする予定でしたが不可でした。ぜひ事前に一言、ツアー詳細に掲載していただきたいと思います。

②服装の目安を教えてほしい。
夜の現地はとても冷え込みました。石垣島には薄手の服しか持参されていない方も多いと思います。
現地ではブランケットを貸していただきましたが、それだけでは足りない寒さを感じました。
こちらも参加前にツアー詳細で確認できたら良かったな、と思います。

Unexpectedly, I talked and took photos with a solo traveler. It seemed that the next day was the festival on Taketomi Island, and I happened to come across the rehearsal location. I listened to the dances of the island girls and their indescribable songs, and I felt the atmosphere of Taketomi Island.

思いがけず、一人旅の方とお話ししたり写真を撮ったりした。
翌日が竹富島のお祭りだったらしく、リハーサルの場所に行き合わせた。
島の女の子たちの踊りとなんとも言えない唄を聴き、竹富島の雰囲気を感じました。

At first, I thought I would just be shown to my seat and left to look around, but then the guide started. The way they spoke and guided us was very pleasant, and the hour flew by. I had originally booked for the first day, but changed it to the next day due to the weather forecast. On the day I changed, they kindly contacted me to say that the weather might not be very good. They asked how I wanted to proceed, which really touched my heart. The explanations were timely, and I was drawn into the world of stars. I feel like I'm going to love stargazing even more from now on. I happened to be there on a full moon, and I was able to see the entire moon clearly through the telescope, which was very moving. If I have the chance again, I will definitely participate. The pointer is amazing!

始め、席に案内され、勝手に見るだけなのかな？と思ったら、ガイドが始まりました
お話の仕方や進め方がとても心地よく、あっという間の1時間でした。
当初初日に予約してましたが、天気予報から翌日へ変更。
変更した当日はわざわざご連絡いただき、もしかしたらあまり天気に恵まれないかも？どうしますか？との心遣いに心うたれました笑
タイムリーに説明を受け、引き込まれるように星の世界へ。
今後、星空がますます好きになりそうです。
たまたま満月にあたり、望遠鏡で月の全体をハッキリ見せていただき、とても感動しました。
また機会があったら必ず参加させていただきます。
ポインターは凄いですよ

Since it was after the typhoon, I was unsure whether to cancel, but I decided to participate since I had the chance. I was able to see some things, but it was a bit disappointing.

台風の後だったので、中止しようか迷ったのですが、せっかくなので参加しました。
多少はみれましたが、ちょっと残念でした。f

Unfortunately, the originally scheduled tour date was canceled due to cloudy weather. Since stargazing was a major goal of my trip to Ishigaki Island, I rescheduled for the next day and participated in the tour. The daytime weather was decent, so I was hopeful that the view would be nice! However, by the start time, there was a thick cloud cover, and I could barely see Mars peeking through the clouds (laughs).

It was disappointing, but since the moon was close to being full, I was able to enjoy moon gazing with the telescope that was provided, and I could see the craters! Although I couldn't see the stars I was aiming for, I was satisfied with the moonlight bath and the enjoyable stories about the night sky.

I would definitely like to try again, and I rated the experience a bit lower, but I’m glad I participated in the tour this time. Next time I join, I plan to research the phases of the moon thoroughly so I can go and enjoy a perfect starry sky. Thank you!

もともと予定していた参加日があいにくの曇り空だったためツアーが中止となりました。石垣島旅行は星空鑑賞が大きな目的だったので次の日に日付変更し、ツアー参加させていただきました。日中の天気はまずまずだったので綺麗に見えるかも！と期待しながら参加！…したものの開始時間になると分厚い曇り空で、雲の合間から火星がなんとか見えるくらいでした(笑)
残念でしたが月が満月に近かったこともあり、用意していただいていた望遠鏡で月鑑賞をし、クレーターまで見ることができました！
お目当ての星空は見れませんでしたが月光浴と、楽しい星空のお話を聞くことができ、満足です！
ぜひリベンジしたいと思い、評価は低めとさせていただきましたが今回ツアーに参加できてよかったです。次回参加する際は、月の満ち欠けなどよくよく調べてから満点の星空を眺めに行きたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。

We used this tour for our honeymoon as a couple. I was a bit anxious about not having a tour guide, but I decided on this tour after reading the reviews.

As expected from a tour that visits three islands, the local guide moved at a good pace! The water buffalo cart driver to Yubu Island was entertaining! For lunch, we had a bento box with Okinawan cuisine, which was filling and delicious! During the bus tour on Taketomi Island, the driver took us to a beach with star sand! Moreover, he kindly taught us how to collect the star sand, so we were able to gather more than we expected!!

Even as first-timers, we were able to explore the remote islands without getting lost! I highly recommend it!!

夫婦でハネムーンに利用しました。
添乗員がいないとのことで不安でしたが、口コミを見てこのツアーに決めました。

3島も巡るツアーだけあり、現地のガイドさんがテンポよく進めてくれます！
由布島まで行く水牛車の運転手さんが面白かったです！お昼は沖縄料理が入っている幕の内弁当で、ボリュームがあり美味しかったです！
竹富島のバス観光で、運転手さんが星の砂があるビーチまで連れて行ってくれました！更に、星の砂の取り方まで丁寧に教えてくださったので、思ったよりたくさんとることができました！！

初めてでも、迷わず離島巡りができました！おすすめです！！

The tour guide was friendly and taught us in a polite manner, making it a reassuring experience. I would like to participate in the tour again!

ツアーの方がフレンドリーで丁寧に教えてくれて安心して体験できました。またツアーに参加したいとおもいます！

During my trip, it was quite challenging as I couldn't do any sightseeing or diving due to the typhoon. After the typhoon passed, I quickly signed up for this tour and was truly moved to tears by the incredible stars I had never seen before. I participated alone, but I had a great time. If you're hesitating, I absolutely recommend it. Of course, it depends on the weather that day, but it should become a wonderful memory!

私が旅行した期間、台風で観光やダイビングが出来なかったりなかなか大変でした。
台風が去って、こちらのツアーに急遽申し込み参加させて頂いたのですが、本当に見たことの無いくらいの星、感動で涙が出ました。
一人参加でしたが、楽しめました。
迷っているなら、絶対におすすめです。
もちろん、その日の天候などにもよりますが、最高の思い出になるはずです！

Right after the typhoon passed, I was wondering what it would be like, but I was able to see a sky full of stars and many shooting stars, which was really enjoyable! The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and it made me want to learn more about the stars! I would like to participate again the next time I come to Ishigaki Island!

台風が去った直後で、どうなるかとは思ってましたが、満天の星空と流れ星がいくつも見れて、とても楽しめました！！
ガイドの方の説明もわかりやすく、もっと星について知りたいと思えました！
また次に石垣島に来た際は、参加したいと思います！！

It was a day where we could truly feel Okinawa! The water buffalo cart ride became a wonderful memory, and my husband and I said we definitely want to go back to Ishigaki Island again. We had a reservation for the afternoon, so we only had 50 minutes after the water buffalo cart ride to return to Ishigaki Island, and it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't explore more with the rental bicycles. I think it would be even better if there was enough time to ride around with the rental bicycles in the afternoon as well!

沖縄を感じられた1日でした！
水牛車も良い思い出になり、夫婦でまた絶対に行きたいねと言いながら石垣島に戻りました(^^)
午後の予約をしたので、水牛車終わり後、石垣島に戻るまでに50分しかなく、レンタル自転車して、回れなかったのが少し残念でした。。
午後からのものも、レンタル自転車で周れる時間があればもっと良いと思います！

After the typhoon, I was able to see a beautiful starry sky. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was thrilled. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I reminisced about how I learned about these things back in school while enjoying the view. Since it's an island floating in the sea, there were times when clouds would appear, so I thought it was necessary to be prepared for that. Still, I’m glad I participated because it's a starry sky that is hard to see otherwise.

台風一過綺麗な星空を見せて頂きました。天の川もハッキリみえ感激しました。ガイドの方の説明も分かり易く[学生の頃にそう言うのを教えてもらったなー]と思い出しながら観賞しました。海に浮かぶ島なので雲がわき出る時がありそれを覚悟して参加する必要があるかと思いました。それでもなかなか観ることの出来ない星空なので参加して良かったと思っています。

This time it was half a month, but the sky was quite bright, so the stargazing effect was reduced. I would like to participate next time during the new moon. Also, I think it would be more enjoyable to have some basic knowledge about the stars before joining this tour.

今回は半月であったがかなり空が明るかったため星空効果も半減。次回は新月の時に参加したい。あと参加する前に予備知識として少しは星空のことを理解していたほうがこのツアーはさらに楽しめると思います。

Since it was sunny during the day, I decided to join on a whim while traveling. Even if you rent a car, there is a shuttle fee, but I think it's better to use the shuttle bus (the road to the venue is dark, and the event ends late).

The guide shares a lot of interesting stories, so you can enjoy it even if you're not knowledgeable about constellations. They also lend binoculars, which I recommend for those who want to see the Milky Way.

It was a half moon on the day I participated, so it was a bit disappointing that the moonlight was bright, but I was able to relax a lot. Next time, I want to join on a new moon or during a meteor shower.

昼間が晴れていたので旅行中に急遽参加を決めました。
レンタカーを借りていたとしても、送迎料金はかかりますが送迎バスを利用した方が良いと思います。(会場までの道は暗く、終わる時間も遅めなので)

ガイドの方がかなり色んなお話をしていただけるので、星座に詳しくなくても楽しめます。双眼鏡も貸して頂けるので天の川などみたい方にはオススメです。
参加した日半月でしたので、ちょっと月明かりが明るかったのが残念でしたがとてもリラックスできました。
次は新月の日や流星群が起こる日に参加してみたいな。

Despite the situation regarding the impact of Typhoon No. 22, I was able to enjoy the entire itinerary without any issues. The guidance and operations were well-organized, and there were no inconveniences at all.

If there are other tours organized by the same company, I would like to participate in those as well.

台風22号の影響がどう出るかという状況ながら、全行程無事に満喫できました。
誘導やオペレーションも慣れていて何も不自由ありませんでした。

同社が催行するツアーであれば他のものも参加してみたいです。

You can spend a very relaxing time with the water buffalo! You ride in a water buffalo cart while listening to the shamisen being played. The duration seems to vary depending on the mood of the water buffalo!

水牛と一緒にとてものんびりとした時間を過ごすことができます！！三味線を弾いてもらいながら水牛車に乗ります。水牛の気分によって所要時間はまちまちなようです！

The guide was cool as she operated the boat. The snorkeling experience was well-managed with good advice and safety measures, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. It was very interesting as she taught us various names of the island and fish. I think this price for landing on the legendary island plus snorkeling is quite reasonable.

ガイドのお姉さんが船を操縦するのがかっこよかったです。シュノーケリングはアドバイスや安全管理などがしっかりされていて、安心して楽しめました。島の名前や魚の名前などいろいろと教えてくださってとてもおもしろかったです。幻の島上陸＋シュノーケリングでこの値段はお手頃だと思います。

It takes 10 minutes by high-speed boat from Ishigaki Port to reach Taketomi Island!
I chose the water buffalo course.
I rode a water buffalo and leisurely circled around Taketomi Island!
After the ride, I was able to take photos with the water buffalo, and while I received some photos for free, I had to purchase the ones from different angles! Thank you for the memorable photos♪

石垣港より高速船で10分で竹富島に到着！
私は水牛コースを選びました。
水牛に乗りゆっくりと竹富島を1周！
乗り終わった後には水牛と一緒に写真を撮って頂き、その写真は頂けて違うアングル写真は購入でした！思い出の写真ありがとうございました♪

The price, which includes round-trip ferry tickets and rental bicycle fees, is a great deal. I also think it's appealing that you can choose your return time on the same day.

往復のフェリーチケット代とレンタサイクル代込みでこの価格は破格です。帰りの時間が当日選べるのも魅力だと思います。

It was a tour, but it had a high degree of freedom, with plenty of options, and it was really nice to be able to act mostly on our own.

ツアーでしたが自由度が高く、選択肢もたくさんあり、基本的に自分たちだけで行動できるのがラクでとてもよかったです☆

The stargazing tour in Ishigaki Island was amazing. The weather was great, and we could see the Milky Way clearly, along with many shooting stars. I want to participate again.

石垣島での星空観賞ツアー、最高でした
天気も良く、天の川もはっきり見れて、流れ星もたくさん見れました。
また参加したいです。

I chose a course that includes a ferry and a mini bus tour for sightseeing on the island. The itinerary stated that we would only disembark at the star sand beach, but we were also allowed to get off and explore at Kondoi Beach, where we could stroll along the sandy shore. On the way back, we could spend the time until the ferry departure for free exploration of the village. Although the distance from the village to Taketomi Port is considerable, we were able to take a free bus provided by the water buffalo company. The mini bus tour driver provided thorough explanations about the island, and even though I was alone, I was able to fully enjoy the charm of Taketomi Island.

フェリー・水牛車代込みで島内観光ミニバスツアー付きのコースを選びました。旅程には星の砂浜のみ下車とありましたが、コンドイビーチでも下車観光させて下さり、砂浜を散策できました。帰りは、フェリーの時間までを集落の自由散策にあてることができます。集落から竹富港までは距離がありますが、水牛の会社の無料バスで送ってもらえます。ミニバスツアーの運転手さんの島内説明も丁寧で、ひとりでしたが竹富島の魅力を十分に味わえました。
