I was able to see all around Yakushima. I was satisfied with the many things I experienced, including the Yakuzaru monkeys, Yakushima deer, waterfalls, beaches, Yakusugi trees, the vertical distribution of Yakushima's plants, and the passionate love for Yakushima from our guide. Thank you very much.
ぐるっと一周屋久島を観れました。
ヤクザルにヤクシカ、滝に、ビーチに、屋久杉に、屋久島の植物垂直分布、ガイドさんの熱い屋久島への愛を沢山もらって満足です。

Without a guide, I was able to discover spots and stories I wouldn't have noticed, and we took photos in places that looked great, creating many memories! Even though there were times when I was focused on the ground because it was tough, I was able to enjoy the nature of Yakushima while climbing!
ガイドなしだと気づかないスポットやお話をしてくれて、写真映えする場所での撮影もしてくれてたくさん思い出を残すことができました!きつくて下しか見てない時間も無意識に多くなってましたが、屋久島の自然を見逃さないで登山できました!

We spent two nights and three days on Yakushima with my sister and mother for our first visit! On the second day, we went trekking to Jomon Sugi, and on the third day, we were taken to Shiratani Unsuikyo! Both days were sunny, and our guides were truly wonderful people. My sister and mother felt more than just tired; we all thought, "I'm so glad we came!!" It was a very satisfying two days. They took many photos for us and shared recommendations and stories about Yakushima that you can't find in guidebooks! I had heard that the experience can vary greatly depending on the guide, but it's no exaggeration to say that our first trip to Yakushima became an unforgettable memory thanks to our guides!!! Thank you so much!!! We will definitely come back!!!
2泊3日で姉妹、母で初屋久島!!2日目に縄文杉トレッキング、3日目に白谷雲水峡に連れてっていただきました!!両日とも晴れ、またガイドさんが本当におふたりとも素敵な方で妹、母ともに疲労感以上に「来てよかったね〜!!」と大満足な2日間でした。写真をたくさん撮っていただいたり屋久島のおすすめスポットやお話などガイドブックだけでは拾えない情報までたくさん教えていただきました!!ガイドさんによって楽しめるかが全然変わってくるとは聞いていましたが、初めての屋久島旅行が最高な思い出になったのはガイドさんのおかげと言っても過言ではありません!!!本当にありがとうございました!!!絶対またいきます!!!

Review:
The guide was very kind and explained points that we might have missed on our own, allowing us to fully enjoy Jomon Sugi. The pacing was also perfect. On the day of the tour, there were school trip students participating, and we expected the path to be crowded. However, thanks to the guide's consideration of the pace, we were able to proceed smoothly and thoroughly enjoy Jomon Sugi and the Wilson stump. Additionally, we had some extra time, so we were taken to the guide's recommended spots as a detour. Overall, I’m glad I participated in the tour. I believe beginners should definitely join a tour.
Note:
Since the group consisted of 5 to 6 people, it was necessary to match the pace of others while climbing. Therefore, those who are not confident in their physical fitness or do not exercise regularly should prepare to some extent before participating to fully enjoy the tour.
感想:
ガイドの方がとても親切にしてくださりました。自分たちだけだと見逃してしまいそうなポイントも、しっかりと説明して下さったおかげで、縄文杉を満喫することができました。また、ペース配分も完璧でした。当日、修学旅行生も参加しており、道中混雑することが予想されました。しかし、ガイドの方がペースを考えてくれたおかげで、戦闘を進むことができ、縄文杉やウィルソン株をしっかりと堪能することができました。さらに、時間に余裕ができたので、寄り道として、ガイドの方のおすすめスポットに連れて行ってもらいました。総じてツアーに参加して良かったと思います。また、初心者の方は絶対にツアーに参加するべきだと思います。
注意点:
他の参加者も含めて5~6人のグループになり、登山するため、周りのペースに合わせる必要があります。なので、体力に自信のない方、日頃運動しない方は、ある程度準備をした上で参加した方が、ツアーを満喫できると思います。

I usually don't exercise and wasn't confident in my physical fitness, so I honestly participated with some anxiety about whether I could really enjoy it. However, thanks to the guide, it became a very memorable trekking experience. Along the way, I enjoyed beautiful scenery, and the guide took some wonderful photos and played games with us, allowing us to have fun the entire time (though my legs felt like sticks from lack of exercise...).
At first, I was hesitant about whether to request a guide, but I think if I hadn't had one, I would have given up along the way.
Thank you for a fun and valuable time.
日頃運動をしておらず、体力に自信がなかったので、正直ちゃんと楽しめるか不安な状況で参加したのですが、ガイドさんのお陰でとても思い出に残るトレッキングになりました。道中は美しい景色を楽しめた他、とても素敵な写真を撮影してくださったり、ゲームをしてくださったりと、終始楽しむことができました(運動不足で足は棒のようになりましたが…)。
最初は、ガイドさんをお願いするかも迷っていたのですが、恐らくガイドさんがいなかったら、途中で心が折れてたと思います。
楽しい、貴重な時間をありがとうございました。

Positive aspects:
The tour guide was bright, fun, and friendly—absolutely the best! According to the guide, they were the oldest among the guides. There were elderly participants on the tour, but the guide was considerate enough to ensure that their slower pace didn’t create any pressure (I also wasn't confident in my stamina, so it was actually a perfect pace for me). During lunchtime, they made hot miso soup, which warmed both my heart and body. Thanks to the enjoyable conversations, even strangers among the participants became friendly, and despite the challenging journey, everyone was able to complete the Jomon Sugi tour safely and happily. Thank you very much.
Negative aspects:
I had my own hiking gear, but anticipating it would get dirty from the rain, I joined a tour that included rentals (backpack, shoes, raincoat). Therefore, upon arriving at Yakushima Airport, I was told there would be someone with a whiteboard, but there was no one there. When I looked around, I found a whiteboard with my name propped up at the exit. I waited there for 15 minutes. Finally, the person in charge arrived, saying they were "guiding another person." Since I had provided my phone number, I would have appreciated a call if no one was there. Additionally, there was a fitting afterward, but I was told to wear the socks I would use on the hiking day to try on the shoes, which meant I had to take them out of my suitcase unexpectedly. I had to open my suitcase outside (at the airport exit) to put them on before fitting the shoes. I mentioned this to the staff, but if socks were necessary, I would have liked to have been informed during the phone call three days prior so I could pack them in advance.
Overall, there was a significant gap between the quality of the tour on the day and the level of service for the airport pickup and fitting.
よかった点:
ツアーガイドさんが明るく楽しくフレンドリー、とにかく最高でした!ガイドさん曰く、一番年長のガイドとのこと。ツアー内にご年配のかたがいましたが、ご本人たちの歩みがゆっくりであってもプレッシャーにならないようなご配慮をされるかたでした(私も体力に自信がなかったので、かえってちょうどいいペースでした)。ランチタイムには熱々の味噌汁を作ってくださり、心も体も温まりました。楽しいトークで見知らぬ参加者同士も仲良くなり、辛い道中も和気あいあい、楽しく無事に全員が縄文杉ツアーを終えることができました。ありがとうございました。
よくなかった点:
登山道具を持っていましたが、雨で汚れることを想定し、現地でレンタル(リュック、靴、レインコート)付きツアーに参加しました。そのため、屋久島空港到着時、『ホワイトボードをもった会社のかたがいる』と聞いていましたが、実際はおらず、周囲を探すと、私の名前が書かれたホワイトボードが出口に立てかけてありました。その場で待つこと15分。やっと担当者がやってきましたが、『もう一人のかたを案内していた』とのこと。携帯電話番号を渡していたので、もし誰もいないのであれば、電話一本欲しかったです。また、その後、フィッティングがあったのですが、登山当日に履く靴下を履いて靴を合わせるように言われ、まさかのスーツケースから取り出しとなりました。スーツケースを屋外(空港の出口)で開けさせられ、履いてから靴のサイズ合わせがありました。担当者のかたにも伝えましたが、もし靴下が必要であれば、3日前の電話時、事前に持ち込み荷物に入れておくことができたので、教えて欲しかったです。
よくもわるくも、当日のツアーのクオリティと、空港の出迎え&フィッティングのレベルの落差が大きかったです。

My friends warned me that if I wasn't confident in my physical stamina, I should consider an overnight stay in the mountains instead of a day trip. Feeling a bit nervous, I decided to challenge myself with the day trip.
Once we started, I was overtaken by those who came later, and since I was in a group with women who took longer photo breaks, we progressed at a leisurely pace overall. In the end, I wasn't out of breath and could walk while chatting at a comfortable speed.
Everyone in the group was able to take photos at each spot (there was no need for only those in the front to take pictures while those in the back had to stop before the spot), making photo time a nice break.
Aside from the compatibility with the guide, the group's dynamics also matter. With a larger group, explanations while walking are hardly audible to those in the back, so I think it would be better to request a dedicated guide if possible. However, walking with people I met for the first time also allowed us to share a sense of accomplishment, which I think is a great aspect of travel encounters.
友人からは、体力に自信がなければ、日帰りではなく山中泊も検討すべきと脅され緊張しつつも日帰りにチャレンジささました。
スタートすると後から来る方に追い抜かされ、写真タイムが長めの女性たちと同じグループだったこともあり、全体的にゆっくりと進みました。
結果的には息が上がって喋れないという事はなく、会話しながら歩けるくらいの程よいスピードでした。
各スポットもグループ全員が写真を撮ることができ(前の方だけ撮って、後ろの人はスポット手前で撮らないと行けないなどなく)、写真タイムが程よい休憩になりました。
ガイドさんとの相性とは別に、グループの相性もあること、人数が多いと、歩きながらの説明は後列にはほぼ聞こえないことから、出来れば専属ガイドをお願いした方がよいかと思います。
ただ、初めましての方と一緒に歩くのも、達成感を共有できて、旅の出会いとしてよいとも思います。

Hotel pickup at 4:30 AM, climbing starts at 6:00 AM.
The first 8 km is a gentle trolley path for transporting timber, taking just over 2 hours. From the Arakawa trailhead at 8:00 AM, we tackled the remaining 3 km with an elevation gain of 400 m, which took about 3 hours. The Forestry Agency has installed stairs on the steep cliffs, making the ascent take just over 3 hours. We arrived just before noon, and it was truly moving.
I thought I could return faster since I was going back the way I came after having an early lunch, but it still took me just under 4 hours to reach the goal.
In the end, I couldn't help but shout, "Goal!"
朝4:30ホテルピックアップ 6時登山開始
最初8kmは木材を運ぶトロッコ道(なだらか)を
2時間強 8時荒川登山口から残り3km 標高差400mのアタック3時間 林野庁が厳しい崖に階段をつけてくれており登り3時間強 昼前到着 感動
早弁食べて来た道を戻るくだりだからもっと早く帰れるかなと思ったが4時間弱かけてゴール。
最後思わず「ゴ〜ル!」と叫びました。

The guide was wonderful, and I was able to create many beautiful memories and take lots of photos. It was my first time climbing with people I had just met, but I will never forget the joy and excitement of climbing together until the end.
There were two restrooms at the trailhead to Jomon Sugi and one more after we started walking. Since there are natural springs along the way, you don't need to carry too much water. By booking the tour, I learned a lot about the cedar trees and Yakushima, and I was glad that I didn't have to worry about the time while walking.
Thank you very much.
ガイドさんが素敵な方で素敵な思い出も写真もたくさん残せました。初めて会う方々と登るのは初めてでしたが最後までみんなで登った楽しさと感動は忘れません。
縄文杉まで登山口に一つ、歩き始めてから二つのトイレがありました。途中湧水もあるのでそんなにたくさんお水は必要ないです。ツアーを申し込むことで杉のことも屋久島のこともたくさん知れましたし時間を気にして歩くこともしなくてよかったのでお願いして良かったです。

The Jomon Sugi course initially made me quite nervous, but our guide, Tsugimura, was fantastic, and we had a great time throughout! The explanations were excellent, and the pacing, attention to the group, quizzes and games during the course, and even the photo compositions were all perfect. Especially the way we spent time on the long trolley path (with games and quizzes) was skillful, making the difficulty feel much less intense—truly a testament to the guide's abilities. I'm really glad I took this tour!
縄文杉コース、最初はとてもびびってましたが、ガイドの津曲さんがとっても良くて、終始楽しく終えられました!
解説はもちろんですが、ペース配分、メンバーへの気配り、コース中のクイズやゲーム、写真構図まで全てが完璧でした。
特に長いトロッコ道の時間の使い方(ゲームやクイズ)が、上手くて辛さをあまり感じなかったのが流石ガイドという感じでした。

I used to exercise during my student days, but recently I've been quite out of shape and worried about my stamina. Thanks to the guide who skillfully adjusted the pace according to the members, I was able to enjoy the activities until the end.
Even so, I still felt tired, and there were many times when I couldn't take in the surrounding scenery. However, the guide would stop at appropriate times to explain the highlights, and their knowledge was impressive and enjoyable.
I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere around Jomon Sugi. I definitely recommend challenging yourself with a guided tour if you have concerns about your stamina. You can rent trekking poles on the island, so it's a good idea to bring one.
I've only done a few mountain climbs for tourism, like Mount Fuji, but for the first time, I felt that climbing could actually be fun. The guide made me want to try climbing different mountains next time.
学生時代は運動していましたが、最近はめっきりで体力に不安がありました。
ガイドさんがメンバーを見てペース配分等をうまく調節して下さったおかげで最後まで楽しく行動することが出来ました。
それでも疲れるは疲れるので、周りの景色を見る余裕のない時が多いのですが、適宜止まって見所の説明をしてくれて、その内容も博識で楽しかったです。
縄文杉の周りは雰囲気に圧倒されました。
体力に不安がある方にはガイド付きで挑戦することをぜひおすすめします。ストックを島内でもレンタルできるので1本持っていくと良いです。
登山は富士山等観光で人生で数回した程度でしたが、初めて登山自体が楽しいかもと感じました。
次は違う山にも登ってみたいと感じさせてくれるガイドさんでした。

I participated in the morning tour. Even so, it was a course that went around Yakushima, so I was satisfied! The guide's explanations were detailed, and there were narrow roads in some places, making it easier to sightsee compared to renting a car. It was great that they picked me up at the hotel, and I just had to get on the bus, which made it a comfortable tour for my tired body after trekking the day before. By the way, the morning tour does not include lunch.

I had an issue with one of my hiking boots, and to avoid injury, I decided to give up on reaching the summit about 2 kilometers from the top. Since individual descent was not allowed, I waited for the tour group to descend. While other tours from the same company were coming down, our group took a long time to return. Perhaps due to the bus schedule, instead of sticking to the paved path, we ended up walking on unpaved trails based on the guide's judgment. This led to my other boot breaking as well, causing me to fall and injure several toenails, resulting in a sprain and bruising, which made me unable to participate in another tour the next day. I regret that if I could have descended slowly with the other tours that came down earlier, I might not have had to push myself and could have avoided injury. I hope the guide will consider the safety of the participants in their decisions.
途中登山靴の片足に不具合があり、最後の2㌔程度の所で怪我をしない為に、登頂を断念する事にしました。個人下山は不可という事でツアーの下山を待ちました。同じ会社の他のツアーが降りてくる中、中々、参加していたツアーは帰ってこず、バスの時間が決まっている為か、舗装した道ではなくガイドさんの判断で舗装外の道を途中歩く事になりました。この無理により、もう片方の靴も壊れ転倒し、脚の爪が数本死に、捻挫と打撲で、翌日の別のツアーに参加できなくなりました。先に降りてきた同じ会社の他のツアーと、ゆっくり下山出来たならば、無理な事をせずに、怪我をする事も無かったと思うと悔やまれます。ガイドさんには、参加者の安全性を考えて判断をしていただけたらと思います。

I participated in a course that takes you from Taiko Rock to Jomon Sugi in one day! I'm glad I was able to visit both spots. However, the guide's pace was very fast, and I struggled to keep up. I couldn't enjoy the scenery and ended up looking down the whole time. The guide's pace was so quick that even tying my shoelaces or stopping briefly to look at the view made me lose sight of the group. There were many conversations about it being the fifth consecutive workday and wanting to catch the bus back at a certain time, which made it feel like everyone was just eager to get back quickly. I had imagined a trekking experience where I could enjoy nature, but it turned out to be a very exhausting trek, which was quite disappointing.
太鼓岩から縄文杉を1日で回るコースに参加しました!2つのスポットを回れてよかったです。しかし、ガイドさんのペースがとても早く、着いて行くのに必死でした。景色を堪能できず最後まで下ばかりを向いて終わってしまいました。ガイドさんのペースは靴紐を結んでいたり、少し止まって景色を見るだけでも見失ってしまうほど早かったです。始めの時点で今日で5連勤目だとか、帰りのバスは何時のには乗りたいといった会話が多く、自分が早く帰ることに必死でした。

Knowing it would be a 10-hour round trip, I prepared by hiking and running in the nearby mountains. The guide shared knowledge about Yakusugi trees, other natural plants, animals, and the history of Yakushima while we walked, and although it was long, it felt like we reached Jomon Sugi in no time. The guide was very interesting, and the people in my group were around the same age, making it easy to talk. I really enjoyed my time without feeling lonely, even though I participated alone. I was worried about the restroom situation, but it was fine as long as I went at designated spots. They provided each person with a seat for sitting. We traveled to and from the trailhead by large bus. On the way back, a few people felt unwell due to fatigue and the release of tension. It seems wise to take motion sickness medication and stay hydrated until returning to the lodge.
往復10時間と知り近くの山に登山したりランニングしたりして臨みました。ガイドさんが歩きながら屋久杉やその他の自然植物、動物、屋久島の知識等を話してくれ、長かったけどあっという間に縄文杉に辿り着いた感覚でした。とても面白いガイドさんで、一緒のグループになった人たちも年齢が近く話しやすく、一人で参加しても孤独感なく本当にいい時間を過ごせました。トイレが心配でしたがある場所で行っておけば大丈夫でした。座る用のシートを一人一枚貸してくれます。大型バスで登山口を往復しました。帰りは疲れや緊張感の解けで具合が悪くなる人が数名いました。酔い止めを飲んだり、水分をとったり宿に帰るまで気は抜かない方がよさそうです。

A couple in their 50s.
We wanted to fully enjoy the Jomon Sugi, so we requested a private tour.
As a result, it was a great decision!
Thanks to our guide, Konaka, who always paid attention to our condition, my wife, who was anxious about whether she could make it to Jomon Sugi (she had a sleepless night due to nerves the day before), was able to go and return in good spirits.
I was particularly captivated by the stories about Yakushima's plants, history, and Konaka's overseas experiences while walking, which made the long distance feel like it passed in no time!
We were shown many hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own, and encountering a deer on the way back was also a lot of fun.
The hot miso soup we had for lunch was delicious.
Additionally, Konaka took many photos (very skillfully), and since we received the data at the end, we were able to fully enjoy the scenery without focusing on taking pictures, which was a great help.
It was truly a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much.
I would definitely like to request your services again when we come to Yakushima next time!
50才代夫婦。
憧れの縄文杉を存分に楽しみたいと思い、プライベートツアーをお願いしました。
結果、大正解!
ガイドのコナカさんが、常に私達のコンディションに気を配ってくださったおかげで、縄文杉までたどりつけるか不安だった妻(前日緊張で睡眠不足)も、元気な状態で行って帰ってくることができました。
特に歩きながら話してくださった、屋久島の植物や歴史・いままでの海外の経験談にに引き込まれているうちに、あの長距離をあっという間を感じたのが驚き!
自分達だけじゃ絶対わからない穴場もたくさん見せてもらい、また帰り道に鹿に遭遇したのも、とても楽しかったです。
昼食時に頂いた、熱々のお味噌汁もおいしかったです。
また、写真を沢山撮ってくれて(非常に上手)最後にデータをいただけるのので、自分たちが撮影に専念せず景色を堪能することができてとても助かりました。
本当に良い経験ができました。
ありがとうございました。
今度屋久島に来た時もぜひお願いしたいです!

I visited Yakushima for the first time, a place my friends and I had talked about wanting to go for about ten years. I joined a tour to see Jomon Sugi. It was an early morning departure, and it was a full-day tour, but I had a truly memorable and valuable experience.
I heard from the guide that the retirement rate during the tour is relatively high when someone from the same tour group had to retire. I believe it’s important not to underestimate the challenge just because you’re joining a tour; proper preparation, such as training your legs and back by walking beforehand or climbing a nearby mountain, is essential to reach this destination. I highly recommend visiting at least once in a lifetime.
10年程前から友人といつか絶対行きたいと話していた屋久島へ初訪問。こちらのツアーにて縄文杉を観に行きました。早朝からの出発、1日がかりのツアーでしたが、とても思い出深い貴重な体験ができました。
同じツアーに参加の方がリタイヤされた際、実際ツアーでのリタイヤ率は高めとガイドさんにも伺いました。ツアーに参加するからと甘く考えず、きちんとある程度は事前に歩いて足腰を鍛えたり、近くの山を登ってみるなど準備をしてこそたどり着ける場所だと思います。一生に一度は是非観に行くことをお勧めいたします。

The guide was wonderful, and it was a highly satisfying private tour.
When walking for long hours, pacing is important, and they created the optimal plan tailored to our fitness levels and skills. They constantly checked in with us about the time needed to reach the next highlight and took breaks at appropriate intervals, allowing us to continue walking without strain.
The course itself isn't difficult, but since the walking time is long, I was glad I had trained beforehand on mountains with similar distances and elevation changes.
Being a private tour, we had the freedom to set our walking pace and take photo breaks without needing to match others, which was stress-free. While individual tours often lead to many scenic photos, we were able to take family pictures from various angles, making for great memories.
The guide had a deep knowledge of Yakushima's geography, nature, and history, and we heard many interesting stories. Their clear and cheerful way of speaking made it easy to hear even from the back of the group. The charm of Yakushima was fully conveyed, and I felt an immediate desire to visit again.
ガイドさんが素晴らしく、大満足のプライベートツアーでした。
長時間歩くとなるとペース配分が重要ですが、私たちの体力や技術に合わせて最適なプランを組んで頂けました。次の見所までの所要時間をこまめに教えてくれたり、適度に休憩を取ってくれたりと絶えず気遣い頂いたおかげで、無理なく歩き続けられました。
コース自体は難しくないですが歩行時間が長いため、事前に同じ程度の距離や高低差の山で繰り返しトレーニングしておいて良かったです。
プライベートツアーなので歩くペースや写真タイムなどが自由で、他の方に合わせる必要がなかった点もストレスフリーで良かったです。個人だと景色の写真が多くなりがちですが、家族写真を色んなアングルで撮影頂けて良い記念になりました。
ガイドさんは屋久島の地理や自然、歴史等への造詣が深く、興味深いお話をたくさん聞けました。はきはきと明るい話し方で、列の後方にいても十分聞き取れました。屋久島の魅力が存分に伝わり、すぐにでも再訪したくなりました。
Thank you for participating in the Jomon Sugi tour!
As expected from your repeated training, you were able to walk all the way to the final goal. It's essential to have energy to enjoy, so I believe training beforehand was a great decision.
Since walking pace, timing for breaks, and desired photos vary from customer to customer, I'm glad we could convey the benefits of a private tour.
We will continue to power up, so please come back to Yakushima for more adventures!
Thank you!
Konaka
この度は縄文杉ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました!
繰り返しのトレーニングを積まれただけあって、最後のゴールまでしっかり歩き切れましたね。楽しむのにはまず元気が必要ですから、トレーニングしておいたことは大正解だったと思います。
歩くペースや休憩のタイミング、撮りたい写真など、お客様によって様々ですからプライベートツアーの良さが伝えられて何よりです。
まだまだこれからもパワーアップしますので、またいろんな冒険をしに屋久島にお越しくださいね!
ありがとうございました!

I went on a solo trip to Yakushima. I gathered information from the tourism association and researched online to create a 2-night, 3-day schedule. Although I was told that the two sightseeing buses on the island were either fully booked or had no seats available, I was able to sign up for a tour online. The tour covered almost all the main spots, and the guide provided detailed explanations. Above all, the weather was great, and there were no accidents. I was able to walk the 50-minute course at Yakusugi Land, and although it was just a little, I got to walk on the forest road as well. It’s a very good tour for quickly exploring the island. It would be nice to combine it with a half-day tour. By the way, the island's local buses finish running quite early.
屋久島ひとり旅に行って来ました。観光協会等できいたり、ネットで調べたり、2泊3日のスケジュールを組みました。島に2つある観光バスは満席かゼロと言われましたが、ネットで今回の周遊ツアーに申し込む事ができました。ほぼ、主な所は網羅され、ガイドさんも詳しく説明をしてくれました。何より、お天気も良く、アクシデントもありませんでした。屋久杉ランドも50分コースを歩く事ができ、林道も少しでしたが、歩かせてくれました。手っ取り早く島を回るには大変良いツアーです。半日ツアーと兼ねると良いですね。
それにしても、島の路線バスは早くに終わるのですね。

Even beginners in mountain climbing can enjoy it. It's helpful that they can pick you up since the trailhead is far from the accommodation. Also, we will be active for about 12 hours, but having a guide made it possible to continue walking happily.
登山初心者も楽しめました。
宿から登山口まで遠いので、ピックアップしてもらえるのは助かります。
また、12時間ほど活動することになりますが、ガイドの方がいるからこそ、楽しく歩き続けることができました。

This tour is quite physically demanding. Of course, you will receive communication from the tour operator in advance. However, it seems that if you misjudge your physical condition, you may end up unable to move due to illness or injury. The schedule is also tight, and I felt like I was being rushed along by the guide. I was scolded for not having a protector for my trekking poles, which was not mentioned in the prior communication. Caution is necessary. To fully enjoy the beautiful nature and scenery, I recommend being well-prepared physically.
体力的に結構厳しいツアーです。
もちろん、事前にツアー運営会社から連絡あります。ただ自分の体力を見誤ると体調不良や怪我で動けなくなることがよくあるツアーだそうです。スケジュール的にも厳しく、ガイドさんに追い立てられるように引っ張られました。
トレッキングポールはプロテクターが無いと使えないと怒られました。事前の連絡では記載なかった事です。注意が必要。
せっかくの大自然、景色を堪能するには体力を十分つけて臨むことをお勧めします。
