All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I participated with my younger sister. The content was very good, but the weather was unfortunate, so I give it four stars. I had heard that the weather in January can be bad, so I wasn't too disappointed when it rained, but I think the beaches of Taketomi Island would have been even more wonderful if the weather had been nice. Still, the mangrove tour had a cover on the boat, so we were able to enjoy the sightseeing without getting too wet.

We were able to ride the water buffalo cart twice, and it was fun to cheer on the water buffalo pulling the cart while listening to the sanshin and songs. During the island tour, I noticed that many young people, both locals and non-locals, were working, and it was clear that everyone loves this environment, which made me feel warm inside.

妹と参加しました。内容はとても良かったのですが、お天気が残念だったので星4つです。
1月は天気が悪いと聞いていましたので、雨が降ってもそれほどがっかりしませんでしたが、竹富島のビーチはお天気が良ければもっと素晴らしかったと思います。それでもマングローブ遊覧は船にカバーがかかっていて、ほとんど濡れずに観光できました。
水牛車には2回乗ることができましたが、車を引いてくれる水牛さんを応援し、三線と歌を聴かせていただき楽しかったです。島の観光では地元出身もそうでない方も若者が沢山働いていて、皆この環境が大好きなんだなと伝わってきてこちらも暖かい気持ちになりました。

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day, and I was very satisfied. The bus driver guide on Iriomote Island was very entertaining. I highly recommend it.

一日で西表島・由布島・竹富島に効率よくまわることができて、大満足でした。西表島のバスの運転手さんのガイドがとても面白かったです。おすすめです。

Since the mangroves follow the same route for both the outbound and return trips, I was able to see both sides. It was fun listening to the explanations too! You can buy souvenirs on Yufu Island!

マングローブは行きと帰り同じところを通るため両側見ることが出来た。解説も聞いていて楽しかった！お土産は由布島で買えるよ！

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I was comforted by the guide's humorous storytelling and the water buffalo (Apar-kun). It was so relaxing!

あいにく、天候は曇りでしたが、ガイドのユーモアたっぷりの語りと水牛(アーパー君)に癒されました。まったり！

A luxurious trip visiting three islands in one day. It was a solo journey, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The driver on Iriomote Island was the best! The guiding while driving was absolutely wonderful! I was also able to rent a bicycle on Taketomi Island that day, so I spent my time efficiently. The lunch that included a meal was delicious as well.

1日で3島巡り。贅沢な旅でした。ひとり旅でしたが、大変満喫できました。
西表島のパスドライバーさん、最高！運転しながらのガイドが素晴らしすぎた！
竹富島でも当日自転車が借りられたので、時間を無駄なく過ごせました。
お昼つきのランチも美味しかったです。

You can efficiently visit places like Yufuin Island, which are difficult to access on your own, without wasting time. I did a preliminary visit on this tour and then spent a relaxing day on Taketomi Island the next day.

自力では行きにくい由布島なども無駄なく非常に効率よく廻れます。このツアーで下見をして、翌日竹富島でゆっくり一日過ごしました。

I was able to experience the extraordinary by riding a water buffalo cart and seeing the mangroves that can only be found on Iriomote Island. I had a relaxing and enjoyable time.

水牛車に乗ったり、西表島でしか見られないマングローブを見たり、非日常が体験出来ました。
ゆっくりのんびり、楽しくすごせました。

A one-year-old calf was happily playing with the water buffalo. A young elementary school boy got stuck in the mangroves. The lunch buffet was enjoyed by the older kids, but it might be a good idea to bring something for the little ones aged 0-3.

水牛に一才の末の子が喜んでいました。
小学生の男の子にマングローブ刺さります。
お昼ご飯のバイキングは上の子たちは食べでしたが、小さい0-3歳くらいの子は何か持参した方がいいかもです。

My first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I arrived at the airport just before noon. Since hotel check-in is at 3 PM, I wondered what I should do after arriving. While casually searching on VELTRA, I found this tour.

The meeting time was at 2:30 PM. It included a shuttle service, a ride on a water buffalo cart, and free time for exploration. The return ferry from Taketomi Island was at 5 PM. When you think of Ishigaki Island, you think of water buffalo carts. The timing was just right, so I made a reservation four days before departure.

From the airport, I took a leisurely bus to the meeting point at the ferry terminal. At the tour desk, I showed my voucher and received my boarding ticket, and they provided detailed guidance on the meeting place, a photo of the boat I would be taking, and how to return.

Before the departure time of the ferry, I was able to have lunch and browse for souvenirs. The shuttle service from Taketomi Island was smooth, and I quickly boarded the water buffalo cart.

The ride on the water buffalo cart was incredibly relaxing. The blue sky, red flowers, white sand, and the gentle eyes of the water buffalo all brought me peace. I'm really glad I went.

初めての石垣島旅行、空港到着はお昼前。ホテルチェックインは15時だし、着いたら何しようかな?と何気なくVELTRAで検索したところ、今回のツアーを見つけました。
集合は14時半。送迎付きで水牛車に乗って、自由散策。竹富島からの帰りの船は17時。
石垣島といえば水牛車。時間もちょうどいい感じ。出発の4日前に予約しました。
空港からはのんびり路線バスで集合場所のフェリーターミナルへ。ツアーデスクでバウチャーを見せて乗船券を受け取ると、集合場所、乗る船の写真、帰る方法など、丁寧に案内がありました。
行きの船の出発時間まで、ランチを食べたり、お土産を見たりできました。
竹富島到着からの送迎もスムーズで、早速水牛車に乗り込みます。
水牛車はとってものんびり。青い空、赤い花、白い砂、水牛のつぶらな瞳、全てに癒されました。本当に行って良かったです。

Everything is arranged for you, so it's easy. It's a great tour for first-timers. The premium seats on the boat are an additional 500 yen, but since the seats are completely different, it would be fine to use them if the regular seats are crowded.

すべて段取りしていただけるので楽です。初めての方には良いツアーです。
船のプレミアムシートは＋500円ですが、シートがぜんぜん違うので普通席が混みあっている場合は利用しても良いでしょう。

Although the weather was a bit uncertain at the end of the year, it became my best memory! While gently swaying with the cows, I truly felt that I had arrived in Ishigaki, accompanied by the sounds of the sanshin.

年末のお天気微妙ななかの参加でしたが、一番良い思い出になりました!ゆっくりと牛さんに揺られながら三線の音色とであー石垣に来たなと実感

I had a really great time. There were so many places I wanted to see, and I felt like there wasn't enough time, so I would love to join this tour again. It was packed with highlights. Riding the water buffalo three times was truly wonderful. I'm glad I chose this tour.

本当に楽しかった。時間が足りなくてみたい所あったので、またこのツアーに参加したいと思うほど盛りだくさんでカナリ見所全て詰まっていた。水牛に3回乗れたのは本当に良かった。このツアーを選んで良かった

Iriomote Island's mangroves were amazing. I was also able to visit Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island was comfortable for sightseeing with moderate temperatures, unlike in summer.

西表島マングローブ最高でした。
由布島にも行けて
竹富島も夏とは違い気温も適度で観光しやすかったです。

Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi had a warm climate and wonderful weather, making it a fantastic island-hopping experience. It was a great experience to leisurely explore the islands by water buffalo cart, which I had longed to do. I learned from the guide that water buffalo are gentle animals with intelligent personalities. I definitely want to travel to the Okinawan islands again.

西表　由布　竹富　気候は暖かくお天気も良くて素晴らしい三島巡りでした。
念願だった水牛車でゆったりと島巡りをしたのはとても良い経験になりました。
水牛が穏やかな性格で頭が良い動物だとガイドの方に教えて頂きました。
また　沖縄の島へ旅行したいと思いました。

I was picked up at the hotel.
We were able to board the ferry without much waiting after arriving at the terminal.
Once we arrived at Iriomote Island, we could immediately take a boat to the mangrove forest, and when we finished, a bus was waiting to take us to the next destination...
Everything went smoothly without any unnecessary waiting time, which I thought was great.
Although the weather wasn't very good, I had a lot of fun.

ホテルまでお迎えに来てもらいました
フェリーターミナル到着から乗船までさほど待つことなく乗船できました。
西表島に着いたらすぐ船でマングローブ林にいくことができ、終わったらバスが待っていて次のところに。。。
というふうに滞ることなく、無駄な待ち時間がなく過ごすことができたのでよかったと思います
天気があまりよくなかったのですがとても楽しめました

I enjoyed an island-hopping tour from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote, Yubu, and Taketomi Island. We explored the mangroves by boat, rode water buffalo, and were soothed by the sounds of the island's shamisen against the beautiful sea. We had a lunch buffet, and on Taketomi Island, we rented electric bicycles (which I really got into). I was worried about being able to ride them since I'm in my mid-50s and there are many hills, but it was so much fun to ride with the wind. I zipped around the island with my daughter, who is in her 20s.

体験ツアーで、石垣島→西表→湯布→竹富島と島めぐりを楽しめました。マングローブを遊船して、水牛に乗り島三味線の音が響き美しい海に癒されました。ランチヴィッフェを食べ、竹富島では電動自転車をお借りました（これがハマりました）50代半ばで坂道が多いので乗れるか心配だったのですが、風をきって走る楽しさ。20代の娘と一緒にスーイスーイと島をぐるっと周りました。

There is plenty of free time. I think it's a good opportunity since you might not have many chances to experience water buffalo. For those who have been to Amami, the mangroves might feel a bit lacking.

自由時間多めです。
水牛はあまり体験できないと思いますので、良い機会だと思います。
マングローブは奄美行ったことあるかたは物足りないかもしれません。

The lunch was delicious. However, it was disappointing since it wasn't tasty, and I would like to see some other measures taken. It was a shame to go there for nothing.

昼食が、美味しくかなったです。
せっかくの昼食でしたが、美味しくなく何か別の対策をほどこしてもらいたい。
せっかく行って残念でした。

I participated at a great discount with the early bird offer, and it was an amazing tour filled with rich content! The mangroves of Iriomote, the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island, the beautiful scenery of Taketomi Island—everything great about the Yaeyama Islands was packed into this experience, and I enjoyed it all day long. The lunch was delicious, the transportation was smooth, and it turned out to be the perfect holiday. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time! I definitely want to use your services again!

早割でお得に参加させていただきましたが、内容の濃い最高のツアーでした！ 西表のマングローブ、由布島の水牛車、竹富島の美しい景色と、八重山の良いところが全部詰まっていて、1日中楽しめました。 お昼ご飯も美味しく、移動もスムーズで、最高の休日になりました。スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。またぜひ利用したいです！

You can efficiently visit the three islands. It's a very well-planned tour. I think the key point is how to use the free time on Taketomi Island. I was unsure whether to use a bicycle, but in the end, I decided to walk. It took about 20 minutes to stroll from the port to the village. Along the way, I enjoyed seeing blue papayas growing by the roadside and the competition between the cows and crows for food—sights that you would miss if you were on a bus or bicycle, which made it fun.

3島を効率よく廻ることができます。とてもよく練られたツアーです。やはり竹富島のフリーの時間をどう使うかがポイントになると思います。自転車を使うかどうか迷いましたが、結局歩くことにしました。港から集落までブラブラ歩きましたが、20分くらいでした。集落への道中、道端に生えている青パパイヤや、放牧牛とカラスの餌の奪い合いなど、バスや自転車では通り過ぎてしまう光景も見られ、楽しかったです。

We efficiently circled the island while listening to the lively talk of our bus guide. The sea was very beautiful, and the lunch was delicious, making it a rare and valuable experience. If it's your first time visiting Ishigaki Island, it might be a good idea to join this tour to learn more about the island.

バスガイドさんの軽快なトークを聴きながら、島を効率よく1周回りました。海はとても綺麗で、昼ごはんもとても美味しくてなかなかできない貴重な体験でした。初めて石垣島に来られた方は、石垣島のことを知るためにも参加されたらいいかも。

The explanation of the mangroves was excellent. The stories about clams and mangrove trees were also fascinating. The timing was just right.

マングローブの説明は最高でした
しじみ、ヒルギのお話も興味深かったです
時間のタイミングもちょうど良かったです

This time, we went to Iriomote Island and Yufu Island. After arriving at Iriomote Island, we took a mangrove cruise up the Nakama River. The captain and guide's stories were incredibly fun. After getting off the boat, we moved by bus. The bus driver was also a lot of fun. The driver's stories might have been the most enjoyable part! 😁 We headed to Yufu Island by water buffalo. Interestingly, a German woman was the water buffalo handler. 😊

今回は西表島と由布島へ。
西表島に到着後、マングローブ遊覧船にて仲間川の上流に行きました。船長兼ガイドさんの話がめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。下船後、バスにて移動します。このバスの運転手さんがめちゃくちゃ楽しい。運転手さんの話が一番楽しかったかも😁由布島へ🏝️は水牛にて向います。何とドイツ🇩🇪人の女性の方が水牛使いでした😊

I really enjoyed the mangroves and the water buffalo cart, which you can't experience in the city. The sea was beautiful and soothing. I want to come back again.

マングローブや水牛車を楽しむ事が
でき都会では味わえないので
すごく良かったです。
海も綺麗で癒されました。
また来たいと思います

It was a windy day, but I spent a relaxing time. The island crossing on the water buffalo cart was fantastic. I also enjoyed lunch very much.

風は強い日でしたが、のんびりとした時間を過ごしました。水牛車での島渡は最高でした。ランチもとても惜しくいただきました。

The day before, I visited Taketomi and explored the island on foot, but transportation is definitely essential. Considering the possibility of rain, I recommend opting for a bus tour.

前日に竹富に行き徒歩で島内散策をしましたがやはり乗り物での移動は必須です
雨の可能性も考慮してツアーでのオプションはバスをおすすめします

The weather was great and perfect. The guides were professionals, so their explanations were excellent, and they added some funny stories here and there, which was nice. The highlights of Iriomote Island depend on luck, as you might see some rare animals. The water buffalo cart ride was truly a great experience. Yubu Island felt a bit lacking, though. The streets of Taketomi Island felt like a different world. This tour was really good.

天気も良く最高でした。
ガイドの方々もプロなので解説が上手いし所々笑い話挟んでくれて良かったです。
西表島の見所は運次第で珍しい動物が見れるかと。
水牛車は本当に良い経験でした。
由布島はなんか物足りない感じかな。
竹富島の街並みは違う世界って感じでした。このツアーかなり良かった。

The water buffalo was great! Unfortunately, I couldn't explore Yufushima due to the rain and wind (^◇^;)

I was relieved when the rain stopped for the mangrove boat tour. It was wonderful to see a woman steering the boat while providing explanations!

水牛さん良かったです！
残念ながら雨風で由布島での散策が出来ず(^◇^;)

マングローブ遊覧船は、雨も止んでホッとしました。
女性の方が説明しながら舵を取っていて素晴らしいです！

It was very good because we could efficiently get around in one day. There were many seniors, and there was good consideration for things like restroom guidance. I think it's a tour that people of all ages can enjoy, so I recommend it.

1日で効率よく回れるのでとても良かったです。シニアの方も多く、お手洗い案内などよく配慮がされていました。あらゆる年齢層で楽しめるツアーだと思うのでおすすめです。

You can efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. It was my first time in the Yaeyama Islands, and I think I was taken around efficiently. I also got to ride a water buffalo cart, and there was an explanation about the mangroves. It was more efficient than going on my own, and the explanations were easy to understand.

西表島、由布島、竹富島と効率よく回れます。初めての八重山諸島でしたが、効率よく連れていってくれたと思います。水牛車にも乗れて、マングローブの解説もあり、自分で回るよりも効率よく、説明も分かりやすかったです。
