All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

From morning until evening, and with the option to choose between a 4 PM or 5 PM closing time, it's truly guest-first. I thought it was expensive before making the reservation, but in the end, it was a great value for the price.

朝から夕方までしかも終了時間も16時、17時と選べるのはゲストファースト。お高いと予約前思いましたが、結局コスパ良かったです。

I went there in December 2025!
I was healed by the mangrove scenery of Iriomote Island, and I rode a water buffalo from Iriomote to Yufu Island, where the buffalo carried about 12 adults.
Lunch on Yufu Island was a buffet with various island dishes, and it was delicious and great.
Exploring Taketomi Island was also fun!
Since I wanted to go far, I rented a bicycle for the day and rode around.
It turned into a day full of fun and excitement that I couldn't stop!

2025年12月に行って来ました♪
西表島のマングローブの景色に癒され、水牛に乗って西表→由布島へ、水牛が大人12人くらい乗せて運んでくれました。
由布島でのお昼ご飯はバイキングで色々な島ごはんが食べれて美味しくて良かったです。
竹富島での散策も楽しかった♪
遠くまで行きたかったので当日レンタサイクルを借りて周りました。
楽しくてワクワクが止まらない1日になりました。

I participated after seeing reviews that mentioned how efficiently you can tour the islands. Since it was my first time visiting the remote islands, I was unsure about where to go and what to see. However, after visiting three islands this time, I think for my next trip, it might be nice to take my time and explore just one island thoroughly. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, and we experienced a downpour like a tropical rainstorm, but I managed to cope with a raincoat. I was moved by the sight of a rainbow stretching beautifully across the sea without any obstacles. On Taketomi Island, the rain finally stopped, so I explored the area by renting a bicycle.

効率的に島巡りができるとの口コミを見て参加しました。初めての離島巡りだったのでどこをどう見ようか迷ってましたが、今回3島巡ったのを参考に次回はどこか一つをじっくりでもよいかなと思いました。あいにくの天気で途中スコールのような雨も降りましたが、レインコートでしのげたし、海にかかる虹が端から端まで障害物なくきれいに見られて感動しました。竹富島では何とか雨が上がったのでレンタサイクルで散策しました。

Due to the limited time, I rented a bicycle to go to Kondoi Beach. I borrowed it for just a little over 40 minutes, but there was no hourly rental option, so I ended up renting three bikes for a full day at 2,000 yen each, which was quite a hefty expense. I might be posting this in the wrong place since this isn't included in the tour...

The weather was a bit uncertain, and I think it would have been the best tour if it had been clear and sunny ☀️. Thank you for your assistance.

あまりの時間で、コンドイ浜に行くために、レンタサイクルを借りました。
４０分ちょっと借りたのですが、時間単位の貸し出しの設定はなく、１日単位の２０００円で３台借りたので、大出費でつらかったです。
こちらはツアーには含まれてないので、こちらに投稿させて頂くのは違うかもですが…。

お天気が微妙で、快晴☀️だったら最高のツアーになったと思います。
お世話になりました。

The weather was good overall, but I wouldn't recommend the three-island tour as it felt too much like a factory line. I opted for the bicycle rental plan on Taketomi Island, but I was surprised at how worn out the bicycles were. I was too tired on the return boat.

天気良好で全体的に良かったけど、流れ作業な感じで３島巡りはお勧めしない。竹富島レンタサイクルプランにしたけど、自転車がボロ過ぎでびっくりした。帰りの船内で疲れすぎた。

It was a day without waste, where everything flowed smoothly. The guides were also of high quality in their responses and content.

無駄がなくて、全てがスムーズに流れるような一日でした。
ガイドをする方々の対応や内容も質も高いです。

I participated in a tour on New Year's Eve. The weather forecast was unfortunately not great, so my excitement was a bit dampened. However, just before we arrived at Iriomote Island, the rain stopped, and we were greeted by a rainbow. After that, although there were light showers, the rain would stop during the highlights of the tour, which was a nice surprise. We also got to meet a lot of water buffalo, making it the best day ever. For my spouse and me, the last day of 2025 turned out to be a miraculous day. It was truly an incredibly fun experience.

大晦日にツアーへ参加しました。
天気予報は生憎で少しテンションが下がっての参加でした。
ところが、西表島へ到着の直前に雨も上がり虹がお出迎えをしてくれました。
その後も天気は小雨は降るものの見せ場では雨が上がるという繰り返し。
水牛さんたちにもたくさん会えて最高の１日でした。
夫婦二人にとって２０２５年最後の１日は奇跡の１日になりました。
本当に最高に楽しかったです。

On January 2nd, when we went to Taketomi Island, it was very cold, and there were people wearing down jackets. The wind was strong, and there was light rain, so the waves were high. On the ferry, there was an area for people who are prone to seasickness, and the three of us took our seats there after taking motion sickness medication. Even so, the vertical swaying was quite intense and scary. After about 15 minutes, we safely arrived at Taketomi Island, and I was surprised to see how efficiently everyone moved, transporting tourists by bus to the water buffalo cart boarding area, which was different from the island's image. The water buffalo cart ride was enjoyable, just as I had expected. We strolled around a bit, but it was cold, so we headed back to the port quickly. There was a family with a member who had difficulty walking, but they didn't seem to have any major issues.

私たちが竹富島に行った1月２日はとても寒くてダウンを着ている人もいました。風が強く小雨も降っていたので、波は高かったです。フェリーの座席には、船に弱い人が座るエリアがあり、酔い止め薬も飲んで３人で陣取って座りました。それでも結構な縦揺れで怖かったです。約１５分で無事に竹富島に着くと、流れ作業で観光客をバスで水牛車乗り場に運び、島のイメージとは違いテキパキと皆さん動いていたのには驚きました。水牛車は予想通り楽しめました。周辺を少し散策しましたが、寒かったのですぐに港に向かいました。足の不自由な家族がいましたが、とても困るようなことはありませんでした。

With transportation to the hotel included, I was able to enjoy a full day on Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. I was able to efficiently visit each place and had a great experience.

ホテルまでの送迎ありで　１日バッチリ楽しめました　西表島　由布島　竹富島
それぞれに効率よく巡れて　よい体験ができました

The guidance was smooth, allowing me to spend my time without stress. I applied for the free walk plan on Taketomi Island and planned to rent a bicycle on my own. When I arrived at the port, there were about two or three rental bike shops' vehicles there, and I was able to apply on the spot. I returned on the second-to-last ferry, but I had plenty of fun.

流れるような案内でストレスなく過ごせました。
竹富島はフリーウォークプランで申し込み、自力でレンタサイクルする予定にしました。港に着いた時に２～３つくらいのレンタサイクル屋さんの車が来ていて、その場で申し込めました。
最終便の一つ前で帰ってきましたが十分楽しめました。

We visited once as a couple in the summer, and it was so wonderful that we decided to gift it to my in-laws for their 70th birthday celebration. Since it was December, I was worried about the temperature and weather, but fortunately, it turned out to be sunny. Although there was some wind, it was warm. I think this season is just right for elderly people—not too hot and not too cold. The only regret I had was that the glass boat tours in Taketomi Island were closed, but we were grateful for the stable enjoyment of the mangroves in Iriomote Island and the water buffalo in Yubu Island, which made for great memories. For families with small children, a tour from spring to summer might be good if they plan to go swimming, but if you’re not going into the sea, this season might be just right. In any case, I realized that this tour is fantastic no matter when you come, so I would like to visit again in a different season to enjoy the changing scenery.

夏に一度夫婦で訪れたのですがとても良かったので、義理の両親の古希お祝いを兼ねてプレゼントしました。12月なので気温と天気が心配でしたが、タイミングよく晴れてくれて風はあったものの温かかったです。高齢者には熱すぎず寒すぎずでちょうど良い季節なのではないかと思いました。竹富島のグラスボートが休業中だったことだけ心残りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛が安定の楽しさで良い記念になったと感謝されました。小さな子がいるご家庭なら海水浴も想定して春～夏にかけたツアーが良いかもしれませんが、海に入らないならこれくらいの季節がちょうど良いかもしれません。いずれにしてもこのツアーはいつ来ても最高だということが分かりましたので、また違う季節にも来て景色の違いを楽しみたいと思います。

On Iriomote Island, I was able to see the crested serpent eagle and wild boars, and during my transfer to Yubu Island, I had the rare experience of riding a water buffalo cart. It was unfortunate that it rained heavily on Taketomi Island, but the experience was very rich and became a memorable one.

西表ではカンムリワシやイノシシを見ることができ、由布島への移動時、水牛車に乗れて貴重な体験ができました
竹富島では大雨になってしまい残念でしたが、とても内容が濃くて、思い出になりました

The round trip to Yufuin Island was done by water buffalo cart, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The shamisen music and singing performed along the way were a lot of fun.

由布島への往復は水牛車で移動するのですが、それが本当に素晴らしい体験でした。道中に演奏してくれる三味線と歌が大変楽しかったです。

This is an efficient course that allows you to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. I think it's great for first-time participants. Unfortunately, the weather was bad from the morning, and we couldn't explore Yufu Island due to the storm, which was disappointing. On Taketomi Island, we had a bus tour, and since it was raining on and off, it was nice to be able to move around without getting wet. However, the last free exploration time was only 15 minutes, which felt a bit rushed, so I would have appreciated a little more time.

西表島、由布島、竹富島を効率よく周れるコースです。初めて参加する人には良いと思います。朝から天気が悪く、由布島では暴風雨で島を散策できなかったのが残念でした。また竹富島はバス観光でしたが、雨が降ったり止んだりだったので、濡れずに移動ができてよかったです。最後の自由散策が15分しかなくて、忙しかったのでもう少し時間があると嬉しいかな。

It was great that the guide, who played the sanshin and sang while riding the water buffalo for the first time, added a touch of charm. Riding the water buffalo through the streets of Taketomi Island made me feel like time was flowing leisurely. I was impressed by the mangroves. It was the best experience, fully enjoyed in just one day.

初めて水牛に乗り、三線を引いて歌を歌ってくれたガイドさんが風情を出してくれて良かったです。竹富島を水牛に乗って街並みを見てゆったりした時間を流れた気がします。マングローブは感激しました。1日で満喫出来て最高でした。

I arrived at Ishigaki Airport on the day and participated in a tour at 2:30 PM. The weather was drizzly and the waves were rough, but the rocking of the boat felt like an attraction, and both the kids and we enjoyed it. Taketomi Island is a small island, but it has a peaceful atmosphere, and even in the rain, I enjoyed feeling the unchanged scenery from the past.

当日の昼に石垣空港に到着し、14時半のツアーに参加しました。天気は小雨で波も荒れてましたが、舟の揺れがアトラクションみたいで子供も私たちも楽しんでいました。
竹富島は小さな島ですが、穏やかな時間が流れて、雨でも昔から変わらない風景を感じて楽しかったです。

We were picked up at our hotel for an early start at 7:10 AM to visit three islands. The tour was packed with activities, including a boat ride, water buffalo experience, and a mangrove cruise. It felt like we could see and do everything we wanted with this great tour. The lunch was delicious as well.

Even though it was a cold December, we were fortunate with the weather. In the morning, a short-sleeve shirt was a bit chilly, but by midday, it was hot enough that you needed short sleeves. Riding a bicycle around Taketomi Island made us sweat, but I think it's better to rent a bike if you're going to explore the beaches.

ホテルまで送迎いただき、3島めぐるので朝は7時10分と早めのお迎え。
船も水牛もマングローブクルージングも付いていて盛りだくさん。
行きたい所見たいもの全てこれで叶う感じの良いツアーでした。
ランチも美味しかったです。
12月の寒い時期ですが、お天気にも恵まれ、朝は半袖じゃ寒いですが、昼間は半袖じゃなきゃ暑いくらいでした。
竹富島の自転車巡りは汗だくでしたが、浜巡りするなら自転車借りた方がいいと思います。

The tour was very satisfying, with plenty of experiences including mangrove and water buffalo, as well as Taketomi Island. Each tour guide was very entertaining and their explanations were easy to understand.

マングローブに水牛体験、竹富島もたっぷりと満足できるツアーでした。各ツアーガイドさんもとても面白く、説明も分かりやすかったです。

I extracted the highlights of the three islands (Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island), and it was a very satisfying tour. The explanations from the guide at key points were clear and interesting.

三島（西表島、由布島、竹富島）の良い所を抽出してあり、大満足なツアーでした。
要所要所のガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、面白かった。

Although the weather was occasionally rainy, I was happy to be able to experience both the mangrove river cruise and the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island, which are experiences that are hard to come by. Cycling on Taketomi Island was difficult because of the sandy paths. I think it's better to walk around and see the houses on Taketomi Island. All the cafes were closed, so there was nowhere to take a break, and I wanted to relax while enjoying the scenery. Kaiji Beach was narrow, which was a bit disappointing. I realized that the ocean views are all quite similar.

時々雨のお天気でしたが、マングローブの川クルーズも由布島の水牛車もなかなかできない体験を欲張って全部できて、嬉しかった。
竹富島のサイクリングは砂道なので走りにくかった。竹富島は徒歩で家並を見て歩くぐらいがいいかな。カフェが全部お休みで休憩するところがないので、景色を見ながらゆっくりしたかった。カイジ浜は狭くてちょっと残念。
海の景色はみんな似たようなものなのだとわかった。

- I was finally able to land on Iriomote Island.
- I got to interact with the water buffalo. I'm grateful to them.
- The space where the Okinawan butterflies and others flutter around is very heartwarming.

・念願の西表島に上陸出来た。
・水牛たちと触れ合えた。彼らに感謝です。
・オオマダラ他の蝶々が飛び交う空間は大変ほっこりします。

Unlike typical tours, there was no need to confirm the number of participants, which allowed us to act at our own pace without stress. Additionally, everything went smoothly according to the itinerary.

いわゆるツアーとは異なり、人数確認等がないので、ストレスなく自分達のペースで行動できた点が良かった。また、順調に工程表どおりで順調であった。

I had long hoped to take a tour on a water buffalo cart. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the driver and everyone else played the sanshin, making it a wonderful experience.

かねてから希望していた水牛車での観光。景色だけでなくドライバー？の方が皆さん三線を奏でてくれ、最高のひと時でした。

Unfortunately, many shops were closed as they coincided with the sacred rituals on Taketomi Island, but I was able to see the festival at just the right time. Also, the bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island was very entertaining with his explanations. The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but the boats were still operating, and I was able to fully enjoy the mangroves and other sights.

ちょうど、竹富島の神事と重なり、閉まっているお店が多くて、残念でしたが、タイミングよくお祭りを見ることが出来ました。
また、西表島をバスで案内して下さる運転手の方、せつめいが面白かったです。
天候も、あいにくの曇り空でしたが、船も運行し、マングローブなど満喫出来ました。

The weather wasn't great, but it was still an enjoyable tour. We traveled between the islands, and even while on the vehicles, the guide shared stories about the islands. Since I usually rent a car, it was nice to learn these little tidbits. If the weather had been better, it would have been even more amazing.

天気が良くなかったのですが、それでも楽しめるツアーでした。
離島を転々とまわって、乗り物に乗っていてもガイドさんが島の話をしてくれます。
いつもレンタカーなので、こういうのも豆知識がしれて良かった
天気が良かったら、もっと最高だった

The weather was rainy and then cloudy, so the scenery was disappointing, but the staff were all kind and attentive. In particular, the staff member who guided us when we rode the cow on Taketomi Island provided clear explanations and was skilled at playing the sanshin and singing. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

天気は、雨のち曇りだったので景色は残念でしたが、スタッフの方は、皆さん親切丁寧でした。特に竹富島の牛に乗った際、案内して頂いたスタッフの方は、説明も分かりやすく三線も唄も上手でした。良い思い出になりました。有り難うございました。

I made a reservation for late November and traveled around Iriomote and Yufu Island. This was my first time visiting during this season, and I was a bit disappointed because the weather was not great. However, the water buffalo were so cute! I would love to visit again when the weather is nice.

11月後半に予約をし、西表、由布島を旅行で巡りました。今回この季節に行くのは、初めてで、ちょっと天気が、悪くてがっかりしました。でも水牛ちゃんが可愛いかったです。又季節、天気がいい時にもう一度巡りたいです。

The young female staff at the reception was very polite and explained everything clearly. Although the wind was strong, I didn't feel seasick, and it was impressive to see about four staff members waving goodbye as we departed from Ishigaki Island. The water buffalo, Yufu Island, the bus driver, and the female staff for the mangrove tour at Nakama River were all very kind and provided thorough explanations. The lunch was delicious, and everything was great!

However, I was really looking forward to the free time on Taketomi Island at the end. I had planned to spend the entire next day on Taketomi Island, so I wanted to take 2-3 hours to scout the area. While I was wandering around trying to find a rental bicycle place within walking distance from the port, an older man shouted, "The rental bicycles are this way!" When I approached to ask, he said, "Just get in the car for now!" even though I clearly told him I hadn't made a reservation.

After getting out of the car and trying to proceed with the rental bicycle process, the female staff at the reception said, "Only renting a bicycle? You can't get in the car unless it's part of the water buffalo package." When I explained that I had told the man I was only renting a bicycle and hadn't made a reservation, she seemed reluctant. I suddenly felt uncomfortable and tried to leave, but I was prompted to write my name down, so I borrowed the bicycle for a bit. However, I was worried about the bus schedule back to the port and ended up returning it after just one hour. Renting a bicycle for a whole day would have allowed for a more relaxed experience, but 2,000 yen for just two hours felt expensive, especially during the off-season.

I had imagined Taketomi Island to be a more leisurely place, but it felt very rushed, which was disappointing, and I decided not to go back the next day. Originally, I had planned to only visit Taketomi Island, so it was a good thing I participated in the tour and was able to visit other islands as well.

受付の若い女性スタッフさんとても丁寧で分かりやすく説明してくれました。風が強かったが船に酔うこともなく、石垣島を出港する時スタッフさんが4人位でずっと手を振ってくれていたのが印象的。水牛も由布島もバスの運転手さん、仲間川のマングローブ遊覧の女性スタッフさん、とても親切丁寧に説明をしてくださり、昼食も美味しくとても良かった！ただ、一番楽しみにしていた最後の竹富島フリータイム。翌日丸一日を竹富島に行こうと計画していたので、2〜3時間かけて下見をしようと思っていたが、港から歩いていけるレンタサイクルさんがどういっていいかウロウロしていたら、おじさんが「レンタサイクルはこっちー！」と叫んでいて、聞いてみようと近くに行ったら「レンタサイクルだけ？とりあえず乗って！」と車に乗せられた。予約 もしていないとハッキリ伝えていた。車を降り、レンタサイクルの手続きをしようとしたところ、受付の女性に「レンタサイクルだけ？水牛とセットじゃないと車には乗れないんですけど？」と言われた。おじさんに予約してないし、レンタサイクルのみと伝えたと言うと、何だか渋々。一気に嫌な気分になり、出ようとしたが、ここに名前書いてーと促され、とりあえず借りたが、港までのバスの時間だとか、あれこれ気になって結局1時間で返し、港に向かった。レンタサイクル1日借りられればゆったり出来るだろうが、2時間で2000円は高い。オフシーズンなのに。竹富島のイメージがもっとゆったりとしたものと思っていたがとてもせわしなく、がっかりしてしまい翌日も行くのをやめた。元々竹富島だけに行こうと考えていたので、ツアーに参加して他の島も行くことが出来てよかったです。

The water buffalo transfer from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island was incredibly moving, with the sound of the sanshin and beautiful singing bringing me to tears. The Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island was also very enjoyable, and the island-hopping tour with Taketomi Island was the best.

西表島から由布島の水牛移動では、三線と素敵な歌声で感動で涙腺ヤバかった。西表島の仲間川クルーズもとても良く、竹富島との三島巡りは最高でした。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but I had a wonderful experience for this price. I highly encourage everyone to participate. I joined alone, but I am grateful for the priority assistance I received.

残念ながら曇りでしたが、このお値段で素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
是非皆様も参加下さいませ。
一人で参加させていただきましたが、優先的に案内していただき感謝しております。
