All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The age group of participants is on the older side, but it's possible to get around without any difficulty. For those who do not use rental cars, taking the local buses for sightseeing is highly recommended.

参加者の年齢層は高めですが無理なく周ることが可能です。
レンタカーを利用しない人は路線バスを乗り継いで観光するよりずっとオススメです。

I went during the Golden Week in May. Tours to Hokkaido during this time are quite rare, so I chose this course since I wouldn't be able to see the flowers. The departure was early, but we were able to cover almost everything, so I’m glad I participated. However, since it was the off-peak season, there were few tourists, and many shops were closed. Lunch was free, but I tried various snacks recommended by the tour guide at the rest area, so I didn’t go into any shops. I was worried about the weather, but it was sunny at Cape Erimo, and the view was very nice. I would like to join again during the flower blooming season next time.

5月のGWに行きました
この時期の北海道ツアーはなかなかないので
花を見れないのでこちらのコースに
出発直は早いですがほぼほぼ全部回れるので
参加してよかったです
ただどこの閑散期なので観光客もまばらで閉まっているお店も多かったです
昼食は自由でしたが、休憩場所で添乗員さんおすすめのおやつをいろいろ食べたので、お店には入らずでした
天候が心配でしたが、地球岬では晴れて景色も良くとても良かったです。
次は花の咲くシーズンに参加したいですね

The tour itself was very good, and I was able to enjoy various things besides the Snow Avenue. It was great to hear interesting stories from the guide, the museum staff, and the driver. The only downside was the weather. I think it would have been perfect if it had been sunny.

ツアーそのものはとても良く、雪の大道以外にも色々楽しめました。ガイドさん、博物館館の方、運転手さんからも興味深い話が聞けてよかったです。惜しかったのは天気。晴れてたら最高だったと思います。

It was great that there was a shuttle service at the hotel. The weather was perfect, and it was adorable to ride the water buffalo twice. It was a tour that kept me entertained from start to finish.

ホテルに送迎があるのがとても良かった。
お天気も最高で、水牛に2回も乗って可愛かった。
次から次へと飽きないツアーでした。

On the first day of Golden Week, I went to Kyoto. It was my first time on a day trip bus tour, and I was a bit nervous, but the guide was very polite and explained everything clearly. Thanks to their thoughtful attention, including lunch and admission tickets, I was able to enjoy the day smoothly.

It was pouring rain, and my shoes and clothes were soaked and cold, but when the guide said, "You won't find Kyoto this empty any other time," I couldn't help but agree. I decided to think of the rainy (it was really heavy rain) Kyoto as having its own charm (laughs).

The driver's speed was frighteningly fast; it was really fast to the point where I was gripping my hands in fear. However, we made it from Osaka to Kyoto in under an hour, which I guess is a testament to their skill... I'll just leave it at that.

Since the weather was unfortunate this time, I hope to visit Kyoto on a sunny day next time. I look forward to it again then!

GW初日に京都へ行きました。
日帰りバスツアーというものが初めてで緊張してましたが、丁寧なガイドさんで説明もわかりやすく、お昼ご飯や拝観のチケット等、細やかな気遣いで終始スムーズに楽しめました。

大雨で靴も服もグッチョグッチョで寒かったですが、ガイドさんの『こんなに空いてる京都なんてないですよ』に、確かに〜と納得し、雨の(大雨でしたが)京都も趣があると思うことにしました（笑）

運転手さんの運転が怖いぐらい速くて、もうホントに速くて速くて手に汗握るほど怖かったですが、大阪から京都まで1時間かからず行けたのは熟練のなせる業なのか…？と、お茶を濁しておきます。

今回は生憎の天気だったので、次は晴れて日に京都へ行きたいです。その時はまたよろしくお願いします。

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour!

The tour started before sunset, and by the time the sun set, the river was beautifully dyed red, creating a stunning view. Although the sky was cloudy and not filled with stars, it was the best natural experience to listen to the sounds of nature while seeing the stars peeking through the clouds.

The guide was knowledgeable and explained everything in detail, which made me feel comfortable participating in the tour. On the way back, we walked through a forest where fireflies were dancing, creating a very magical atmosphere. I had an experience unique to the island that I can't see in the city. When I visit again, I would love to experience the changing of the day and the starry sky.

ツアーに参加させて頂いて、ありがとうございました！

夕日が沈む前からツアーが始まって、夕日が落ちる時には、河が赤く染まってとっても素敵な景色でした。
曇り空で、星空が一面なわけではなかったのですが、雲の間から見える星々と自然の音を聞きながら、最高の自然体験でした。

ガイドさんは博識で、何でも丁寧に教えて頂いて安心してツアーに参加することができました。
帰りは蛍が飛び交う林の中を歩いて、とても幻想的です。
街では見られない、島ならではの体験をさせて頂きました。また訪れた時には、日の移り変わりと星空を体験したいです。

The Shakotan Peninsula requires you to rent a car individually, so I made a reservation here. It was very comfortable with only 12 people, possibly because it was the off-season. The scenery was wonderful, but it was very windy, and they closed the area partway through. Be prepared to walk quite a bit to reach the lighthouse. The seafood bowl for lunch was delicious. I think it was a good deal.

積丹半島は個人ではレンタカーなどを借りないといけないのでこちらを申し込みました。シーズンオフなのか12名でとても少なくて快適でした。景色は素晴らしく良かったですが、とても風が強くて途中で閉門されました。灯台まではかなり歩きますので覚悟してください。
ランチは海鮮丼がおいしかったです。お得なのではないでしょうか。

I participated in a tour to swim with sea turtles and kayak, as I wanted to swim with sea turtles on my first trip to Miyako Island. Since it was the rainy season, the snorkeling at the first location, Shinjo Beach, started with rain. However, as soon as we entered the water, the instructor found a sea turtle, and we were able to swim together. At the end, a large turtle appeared, which was quite impressive. We took a lot of photos, and they sent them to me later via LINE. We then moved to Imugya Marine Garden, where I was taught how to paddle, and even as a beginner, I was able to paddle smoothly. I want to see the sunlit sea of Miyako Island, so I plan to try again.

初めての宮古島旅行でウミガメと泳いでみたく
カヌーとウミガメと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
梅雨ということもあり最初の新城海岸でのシュノーケルは雨から始まりました。でも海に入ってすぐに
インストラクターの方がウミガメを見つけてくれて
一緒に泳ぐことができました。最後に大きな亀さんが現れてくれて迫力ありました。
写真もいっぱい撮って頂き後でLINEで送ってもらいました。
場所を移動しイムギャーマリンガーデンに移動して漕ぎ方を教えてもらい初めてでもスムーズに漕ぐことが出来ました。太陽でいっぱいの宮古島の海が見てみたいので
またリベンジしたいと思います。

Nishinokyo is quite challenging to explore using public transportation due to time constraints. If you're considering renting a car and paying for parking, I definitely recommend this option where you can enjoy guided tours that include admission fees. However, be prepared to do quite a bit of walking. Other than that, the guide provides explanations, so you don't need to prepare in advance, and the optional bento for 1,000 yen is reasonably priced.

西の京は、公共交通機関で回るには時間的にかなり厳しいです。レンタカーを借りて駐車料金も払うぐらいなら、拝観料込みで運転もお任せのこちらの方が絶対にお勧めです。ただし、かなり歩く覚悟が必要です。それ以外は、ガイドさんの説明があるので予習なしでも大丈夫だし、オプションのお弁当1000円も良心的だと思います。

According to the guide, trekking to Jomon Sugi is most beautiful in cloudy weather or light rain. I felt the same way. I participated in the trekking at Shiratani Unsuikyo the day before, so climbing mountains for two consecutive days was quite tough. However, there were quite a few people in the same situation. Even in cloudy weather, I was drenched in sweat while climbing, and I hardly wore the rental gear. I drank water from a stream for the first time in my life, and it was cold and delicious. After returning to the lodge, both my husband and I were exhausted. But I’m really glad I was able to see Jomon Sugi in person.

ガイドさん曰く、縄文杉のトレッキングは曇りか小雨くらいが一番美しいみたいです。実際自分もそう感じました。前日に白谷雲水峡のトレッキングに参加したので、二日連続の山登りはかなり辛かったです。でもそういう人けっこう多かったです。曇りでも山登りしてると汗だくでレンタルしたウェアはほとんど着ることがありませんでした。生まれて初めて沢の水を飲みましたが冷たくて美味しかったです。宿に戻ってからは夫婦共々ぐったりでした。でもやはり縄文杉を実際に見ることができて本当に良かったです。

As a beginner in mountain climbing, it was really tough for me. After returning to the lodge in the evening, I was so exhausted that my spouse and I just fell asleep right away. However, since people of all ages participate, I think anyone can join. According to our guide, the moss isn't beautiful unless it rains, and you can't see the view from Taiko Rock unless it's sunny, so it was rare to have such an ideal day with rain the day before and good weather on the day itself. The nature and moss along the way were beautiful, but the view from Taiko Rock and the thrill of the cliffs were absolutely the best. It was hot, so I ended up not wearing most of the rental gear. There were quite a few people who took off their clothes along the way because they were drenched in sweat.

山登り初心者なので余計かもしれませんが、とにかく山登りが本当に辛かったです。夕方宿に戻ってからは、あまりの疲労でぐったり、夫婦共々そのまま寝てしまいました。でも老若男女が参加されてますので、誰でも参加できると思います。ガイドさん曰く、雨が降っていないと苔が美しくないし、晴れてないと太鼓岩から景色が見えないので、前日雨で、当日は天気が良かったので、こんな理想的な日は珍しいとのことでした。道中の自然や苔も美しかったですが、やはり太鼓岩からの眺めと崖のスリルはとにかく最高でした。暑かったので、レンタルしたウェアは結局ほとんど着用しませんでした。汗だくになり、途中で脱いでる人がけっこういました。

We boarded a mini bus with a small group on time and went island hopping. We made a brief stop at a photo spot that was easily visible from the window. The guide's explanations were very clear, and when we talked about "Twenty-Four Eyes," I found myself getting emotional. This is an experience that you wouldn't be able to feel if you were just driving around in a rental car or cycling.

定刻通り少人数でミニバスに乗って島めぐりしました。
車窓からもよく見える写真スポットにチョイ停止をしてくれました。
ガイドさんの説明がとても分かりやすくて、二十四の瞳を語るところは
うるうるするようになった次第です。
レンタカーや自転車で回っていたら感じることのできない体験です。

They efficiently took us around the sightseeing spots. The weather was rainy, but I've heard that Kabira Bay looks beautiful on both sunny and rainy days. (It's said that it doesn't look as beautiful on cloudy days.) So, I'm glad I participated even though it was raining. The lunch was also delicious.

観光名所を効率よく巡ってくれます。天気は雨でしたが、川平湾は晴れの日と雨の日が綺麗に見えるそうです。(曇り空が1番綺麗に見えないそうです。)なので、雨だけど参加してよかったです。お昼ご飯もおいしかったです。

Due to the rain that fell from the night before, the river swelled! The original plan was quickly revised to include cave exploration and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The cave exploration was as thrilling as what you see on TV! It was my first experience wading into the river up to my chin. As for SUP, I struggled a bit during practice, but once I tried it, it was easy and fun! The water submersion after the battle was also a memorable experience, haha. I'm grateful to the staff who worked hard to make the unpredictable weather enjoyable! I had a great time.

夜から降った雨のため、川増水！当初の計画は急遽組み直され、洞窟探検とsupに。洞窟探検はテレビで見るような迫力！顎まで川に浸かっての探索は初体験です。supは、練習はおぼつかなかったけど、やってみたら簡単で楽しかった！
闘いの末の水没も記念です笑
天候なんていう予測不可能な問題を一生懸命楽しませようと尽力してくれたスタッフに感謝です！とても楽しかったです

I didn't realize we had arrived, and then we started the dark tour by turning the car around in a narrow passageway. I was taken down a path that made me think, "Are we really going this way?!" and right from the start, I got to see a coconut crab.

After that, we discovered various sizes of coconut crabs, and it was a continuous cycle of touching them and being surprised. We also found many other creatures. Although the starry sky was faint due to the clouds, we strolled along the beach, and honestly, it was more fun than I expected.

Watch out for the beetles that rush towards the light!

到着したと気づかずにいたら、暗闇の狭い通路で車を回転させ、感心からの暗闇ツアー開始。ここいくの？！という道を連れられ、開始早々ヤシガニを見せてもらえました。
その後も大小様々なヤシガニを発見してもらい、触ったり、驚いたりの連続。他にも様々な生き物を発見。雲が多かったため星空は薄かったですがビーチで散策もして、正直、思いの外楽しかったです。
ライトに突進してくるカナブンにはご注意を！

When I consulted about places other than the ones I had requested at the time of booking, they kindly accommodated me within the time frame. They provided thorough explanations, took photos, and thanks to their prompt at the entrance of the Sandanbeki Cave, I received a discounted admission fee. Of course, they always wore a non-woven mask while providing explanations.

予約時に希望していた名所以外も相談したら、時間の範囲内で追加で周って下さいました。
説明も丁寧にしてくださり、写真も撮ってくださり、三段壁洞窟の入場の際は受付に一言声をかけてくださったおかげで割引料金になりました。
もちろん、常に不織布マスクを付けながらの説明でした。

Unfortunately, due to the rain, the glass-bottom boat tour was canceled, and we switched to a bus tour and a water buffalo cart, but I had a great time. The bus tour guide and the water buffalo cart guide explained everything very clearly, and during the water buffalo cart ride, they sang "Naiyuu Soosoo" with the Okinawan shamisen, which was very moving. The scenery was exactly what I had seen in photos and knew to be Okinawa, and I was truly impressed.

あいにく雨で、グラスボートは中止になってしまいバス観光と水牛車になりましたが十分楽しめました。バス観光のガイドさん、水牛車のガイドの方もとてもわかりやすく説明してくれ、水牛車では沖縄三味線で“涙そうそう〟を唄ってくれたのがグッときました。
景色が私が写真とかで見て知ってるこれぞ沖縄‼︎で感動しました。

I participated in the regular plan. There seem to be various tour companies, but the arrangements made by Veltra were very reliable, and the boat was large, making it comfortable to use. The seats had good cushioning and were comfortable. The guide was also very accurate. I was very satisfied! However, there is a premium class plan that allows for priority photography of Gunkanjima from the boat, so if I were to participate again, I think that option would provide an even more satisfying tour.

通常のプランでの参加でした。
色々ツアー会社があるようですが、ベルトラの手配先は非常にしっかりしていて、船も大きく安心して利用できました。シートもクッション性が良く快適でした。ガイドさんも的確でした。とても満足！
ただ、プレミアムクラス？みたいなプランがあって、軍艦島を船上から優先的に撮ることができるので、どうせ参加するのであれば、そちらの方が、より満足度の高いツアーになったと思います♪

It's early in the morning and tough, but I think it's worth going at least once.

First, the trolley path takes about 2 hours one way, and after that, there's a 2-hour hike. For those who don't plan to hike or do similar activities, I recommend renting shoes, trekking poles, a backpack, and rain gear. Personally, I believe mid-cut trekking shoes are essential. I think I would have injured my ankles if I hadn't worn mid-cuts on the way down.

Also, if the weather isn't favorable, it might be quite tough... The scenery from the trolley path to the end is full of highlights. For those who love nature just by walking, I think it's irresistible.

There are water stations here and there, so you don't need to carry too much water. Bringing powdered sports drinks can help lighten your load a bit. The toilets are limited in number, so I managed to avoid using a portable toilet by keeping my hydration moderate.

Having a few sweet snacks made things much easier. Overall, it's tough, but for those who want to experience a sense of achievement and overwhelming nature, I think it's worth it.

I was blessed with good weather and a great guide, making it the best trip ever. Thank you so much. I will come back to Yakushima. It was an amazing three days.

朝は早いし、キツイですが1度行ってみる価値はあると思います。
最初にトロッコ道が片道約2時間、これが終わると登山を2時間あります。
これから登山などをする予定が無い人は、レンタルで靴やストック、リュック、雨具などをした方がいいと思います。
個人的にミドルカットのトレッキングシューズは必須と思います。
下りで2回ほどミドルカットでなければ足首痛めてただろうなぁと思います。
あとは、天気に恵まれないとかなりキツイかも…
景色はトロッコ道から最後まで見どころ満載です。
歩いてるだけで自然が好きな方にはたまらないと思います。
飲み物は、ところどころに給水場があるのであまり大量に持って行かなくても大丈夫でした。
粉末のスポーツドリンクを持っていけば少しだけ荷物減らせます。
トイレは、場所が限られてるので水分補給はほどほどにしてなんとか携帯トイレ使わずに済みました。
あとは、甘いものが少しあるだけでだいぶ楽になりました。
とにかくキツイけど、達成感と圧倒的な自然を体験したいかたは行く価値ありと思います。

ガイドさんにも天気にも恵まれて最高の旅行になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。
また屋久島に来ます。
最高の3日間でした。

On the day of the shoot, there were many clouds, but we persevered until they moved, and I was able to take some really wonderful photos. Additionally, the waiting time while the clouds shifted was enjoyable as I got to hear various interesting stories. If you have any requests for poses, you can shoot in your preferred style, so I think it's a good idea to consider any requests in advance. The shooting location was at a golf course, and the parking area was a bit hard to find, but if you're unsure, you can call the staff, and they will kindly guide you. Also, since the shoot took place in a completely dark area without streetlights, it was convenient to bring a flashlight or something similar.

I highly recommend this tour.

当日は雲が多かったのですが、
雲が移動するまで粘って撮影して頂き、
とても素敵な写真を撮影していただけました。
また、雲が移動するまでの待ち時間も
色々と面白い話が聞けて楽しかったです。
また、撮影ポーズなどもリクエストがあれば、
好みのポーズで撮影することが出来るため
何かリクエストがあれば事前に検討しておくのもいいと思いました。
撮影場所がゴルフ場となっており
駐車場所か少し分かりにくかったのですが、
わからなければスタッフの方に電話をすれば
丁寧に教えて頂けます。
また、街灯がない真っ暗な場所で撮影をするため
懐中電灯など持って行くと便利でした。

とてもおすすめのツアーです。

The communication from the reservation to the day of the event was seamless, and I felt reassured by the company. However, the guide on the day was the absolute worst.

- The guide was mean, and just thinking about it makes me angry.
- They only seemed to care about getting back and forth quickly. (This felt like the overall policy of the company, which raises questions.)
- Their voice was so quiet that I couldn't hear them, and when I tried to ask questions or clarify, I was ignored. At first, I thought they just didn't hear me, but after being ignored multiple times, it was clear it was intentional. As a result, even if I had questions during the trip, I couldn't ask.
- They only wanted to talk about themselves and their achievements, and they were persistent until I reacted.
- I had lost the desire to talk, and then I saw another group where the younger people laughed at everything, which made me think how nice that was.
- They repeatedly said they would carry someone if they got injured, but only if they were cute.
- When I jokingly mentioned to a friend that I wanted to ride the trolley because I was tired, they said, "You can ride if you break your neck." I couldn't believe my ears.
- I slipped and fell on the way back, but there was no care offered, and even though I was walking in a safe area, I was told it was my fault for not being careful.
- For some reason, the guide went to the back on the return trolley path, and I was forced to walk at the front while being told to speed up, with no chance for a bathroom break. I wasn't even informed about the timing for the last restroom stop.

There are countless issues I could mention, but overall, the guide had no intention of making the experience enjoyable and was self-centered, wanting only to be praised.

予約から当日までの流れなどの連絡は何の問題もなく安心できる会社でした。ただ当日の担当ガイドが最低最悪でした。
意地悪なガイドで、思い出すだけで腹が立つ。
・とにかく早く往復することしか考えていない。（これはこの催行会社全体としてそのような方針に感じたので疑問は残る。）
・声が小さく聞こえないので、聞き返したり質問したりすると無視。最初は聞こえなかったのかと思い何度か聞いたが、何度も無視されたので、故意だった。その為、道中など気になることがあっても聞きたいことは聞けない。
・自分の話や手柄ばかり話したがり、こちらが反応するまでしつこい。
・こちらはとにかく話す気にもなれなくなっていた所、他のグループを見て、若い子は何言っても笑ってくれるからいいな、と言う。
・ケガした場合は背負うが、可愛い子限定だと連呼。
・疲れたからトロッコに乗せて欲しいと友人と冗談で話していたら、「首の骨が折れたら乗せてもらえる」と。耳を疑った。
・復路に足を滑らせ転んでしまったが、なんのケアもない上、自分が歩きやすい所を歩いているのに、見ていないのがダメなんだと言われる。
・復路のトロッコ道はなぜかガイドが最後尾にいき、私が先頭を歩かされた上、もっとスピードあげろといわれ、トイレ休憩すらままならない。最後のトイレのタイミングも教えてもらえなかった。
など、あげたらキリがないが、トータル、楽しんでもらおうという気がなく、自分を褒めて欲しいという自己中心的な、最悪なガイドだった。

Despite the heavy rain and flight cancellations, the mountain bus was also suspended until the day before. However, miraculously, we had clear weather for the two days we participated! The guides were both experienced, although they had different styles, and they were very good. However, due to a shortage of guides caused by COVID-19, we were supposed to have one guide for every seven people, but it seemed like we were going to have one guide for ten people. Fortunately, a group that couldn't participate due to flight cancellations reduced our number to six. What I felt during the trip was that having a long line of ten people walking together increases the risks. This time, the guide was excellent! 😊

大雨が続き飛行機も欠航するなか　前日まで登山バスも運休。でも私達参加の２日間だけ奇跡的晴れ間！ガイドさんも２日ともタイプは違いますが　ベテランガイドでとても良かったです。ただ、コロナでガイド不足のため7人に一人ガイドでなければいけないのに、10人で一人ガイドにされそうになったたまたま飛行機欠航で参加できなくなったグループがでて、６人になったけど。参加して感じたのは10人で歩く列が長くなると危険も多くなると思った。今回のガイドさんは最高でした(^.^)

The only place I could go on a day when I couldn't visit Jomon Sugi or Shiratani Unsuikyo due to heavy rain. However, it was frightening to see water flowing down the mountainside like a waterfall.

縄文杉も白谷雲水峡も大雨で行けなかった日に唯一行けた。でも滝のような雨で山の斜面を水が流れ落ちていて怖かった

It was a journey with just one driver. I think it must be really tough to do everything alone, but I wish there was at least a little guidance about the places to visit before getting off. Since it’s difficult to provide information while driving, it would be helpful to convey an overview of the location, its history, and points of interest through a recorded audio guide. Just being told the meeting time leaves participants confused about how to make the most of the short sightseeing time. It’s essential for participants to research the sightseeing points in advance.

Also, while it's understandable that there can be issues at the start of the trip, I feel there could have been a bit more recovery in the itinerary during the journey (like the relationship between Toyako Onsen and Showa Shinzan).

All the sightseeing points were wonderful!

ドライバーお一人での行程でした。
全てお一人でというのは本当に大変だと思いますが、訪問する場所の案内が降車する前に少しでもあるといいのに、、と思いました。
運転しながらは難しいと思うので、録音した音声でその場所の概要、成り立ちや魅力のポイントなどを伝えるなど。。
集合時間だけ伝えられても、短い観光時間をどう使えばいいのか、戸惑います。
参加される方、観光ポイント事前調べが必須です。

また、出発時のトラブルはしょうがないにしても、途中の行程(洞爺湖温泉街と昭和新山の位置関係、)を工夫するなど、もう少しリカバリーが出来たような気もします。

観光ポイントはどこも素晴らしかったです！

The shiba sakura and tulips were both very nice. The tulips, in particular, were impressive! However, it seems better to think of this as a tour or a similar experience to taking a highway bus. It's definitely a relief since it's quite difficult to get to Yubetsu from Sapporo on your own.

Having two drivers made me feel safe, but there was no guide during the trip. After boarding, there was no explanation of the itinerary, and there were no announcements about rest stops. (As stated in the application URL, this isn't a problem, and you can see where you are on Google Maps.) However, it might feel a bit strange for those used to group bus tours.

When I asked the driver if we needed to pay the entrance fee ourselves upon arrival, everyone was taken aback (laughs). When I mentioned that it was included in the tour fee, they hurriedly bought the tickets.

Since there were only eight participants this time, we used a microbus. I tried to watch videos on my smartphone during the ride, but I gave up since I couldn't charge it. Unfortunately, my seatbelt was broken, which was a bit scary while driving on the highway.

For lunch, I recommend preparing a quantity similar to what you usually eat. If you try to hold back thinking you'll enjoy local gourmet food at the sightseeing spot, you might find you don't have much to buy and end up getting hungry. If you're okay with anything, you can eat at the shop in Takinoue Park.

芝桜もチューリップもとても良かったです。特にチューリップは見応えがありました！
ただ、こちらはツアーというか、高速バスと同じような感覚で利用した方が良さそうです。
札幌から湧別まで自力で行くのは大変なので、ありがたい企画なのは間違いないです。
運転手さんが2名体制で運転は安心ですが、道中のガイドなどはありません。
搭乗後もとくに行程の説明なく、休憩場所のアナウンスもありません。(申込URLに記載のとおりなので、困ることはありませんし、Google mapでいまどの辺を移動中かもわかります)
ただ、団体バスツアーに慣れている方にとっては違和感があるかもしれません。
運転手さんに目的地に到着後、入園料は各自払うんですかね？と聞かれたので、参加者一同目が点になりました(笑)
ツアー代込みとのことをお伝えすると、あたふた入場券を購入されてました。
今回は参加者が8名のせいか、マイクロバス利用でした。移動中にスマホで動画見ようとしてましたが、充電も出来ないので諦めました。
運が悪かったのか、私の座席はシートベルトが壊れてて使えませんでした。高速道路走行中はちょっと怖かったです。
お昼はいつも食べる位の量を用意するのをおすすめします。観光地感覚でご当地グルメを楽しみたいと思って控えめにすると特に買いたいものもなく、お腹が空くと思います。何でも良ければ、滝上公園の売店で食べれます。

On the first day, we received a notice the day before that there might be a heavy rain warning, and the event was canceled. They informed us that we would receive a full refund due to the cancellation. Since I had come all the way to Yakushima and couldn't leave without seeing Jomon Sugi, I requested to shift my two-day trekking to one day later, and they kindly accepted without any additional charges.

For the second day's trekking tour, since we had to catch a high-speed boat by 4 PM, they stored our luggage in the vehicle to ensure we arrived at the port on time. I had rented a raincoat, bag, and shoes, and they took us back to the return location to drop them off and then to the port. This was a great help.

During the trekking tour, we walked at a comfortable pace, which, although the path was steep, allowed us to reach Jomon Sugi and return safely. It was my first time trekking, and I was anxious, but thanks to the guide's advice, I managed to do it without any injuries. The guide provided detailed explanations throughout the trek, which was very educational. I was delighted that the guide took many wonderful photos at the scenic spots. Although we passed through some scary areas, it was great to see the vast nature.

The rented trekking shoes were clean and very easy to walk in; even when I stepped into a puddle, my feet stayed dry, which was comfortable. The raincoat was also clean, and the pants allowed me to take them off and put them on without removing my shoes, keeping me comfortable even in heavy rain. The bag had a rain cover, making it functional.

The weather during the tour was rainy, with no sunny days. The journey to Jomon Sugi was long and challenging, but the path to Taiko Rock on the second day was shorter than to Jomon Sugi, although it was a steep mountain trail. I think it's better to train your legs and back before participating in this trekking tour.

初日は大雨警報が出るかもしれないということで、前日に中止のお知らせをいただきました。このような中止の為、全額返金してくださるとのことでした。せっかく屋久島まで来て縄文杉が見れずに帰るわけにはいかないと思い、2日間のトレッキングを１日日付をずらして参加したいと申し出た所、追加料金無く快く承諾して下さいました。
2日目のトレッキングツアーは16時に高速船に乗らないといけなかった為、16時までに港に着くよう、荷物は車内に預かって下さり、カッパや鞄、靴をレンタルしていたのですが、帰りに返却先まで連れて行ってくださり、港まで送ってくださりました。たいへん助かりました。
トレッキングツアー中は速くなく程よいペースで歩いてくださったので、険しい道のりでしたがなんとか縄文杉まで行き、帰って来ることができました。トレッキングは初めてで不安でしたが、ガイドさんのアドバイスもあり、なんとかケガも無くできました。トレッキング中はガイドさんが丁寧にいろいろ説明してくださり、いろいろ勉強になりました。写真スポットで素敵な写真をガイドさんがたくさん撮って下さり、嬉しかったです。トレッキング中は怖いところもいっぱい通りましたが、広大な自然がいっぱい見れて良かったです。レンタルのトレッキングシューズは清潔でとても歩きやすく、水溜まりに少しはまっても中が濡れることはなく、快適でした。上下のカッパも清潔で靴を履いたまま脱いだりはいたりできるズボンで、大雨の時も水が染み込む事なく快適でした。鞄も雨よけカバーが付いていて機能的でした。
ツアー中は雨が降ったりやんだりした天候で１日晴れの日はなかったです。
縄文杉までの道のりは長くたいへんでしたが、2日目の太古岩まで行くのは、縄文杉までよりは短い道のりでしたが、急な山道でたいへんでした。このトレッキングツアーに参加するには足腰を鍛えてから参加した方が良いと思いました。

Initially, I was considering traveling by rental car, but I found this tour and decided to join. I'm glad we were able to visit the observation deck overlooking Shirakawa-go. There were some narrow sections of the road, and I think it would have been difficult if I had been traveling by rental car. The guide was also a wonderful person, and it became a very good memory. I'm glad I participated.

　当初、レンタカーでの移動を検討しておりましたが、こちらのツアーを見つけて参加しました。白川郷を見下ろせる展望台へも行けて良かったです。道幅が狭い箇所もあり、レンタカーで移動していたら大変だったと思いました。ガイドさんも素敵な方で、とても良い思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

I have participated in similar tours several times, but this was my first experience visiting the Churaumi Aquarium first. However, this course is more efficient. It's a classic, but seeing the whale shark always brings a sense of calm. For lunch, I had yakisoba at the aquarium, but it was almost like "yakiudon." Manza Beach had a nice parking lot, but the old cluttered souvenir shops are gone, and it feels like the Okinawan charm that reminded me of Asia has disappeared, which made me a bit sad. Like everywhere else, it's unfortunate that due to COVID-19, we can't sample products at the souvenir shops. American Village is geared towards young people, so I found myself with too much free time. Overall, I think the cost performance of the tour is good.

I boarded from in front of the Okinawa Prefectural Office, but since there was no staff, it seems that the meeting place is difficult to find for first-timers.

これまで何度か同様のツアーに参加していますが、最初に美ら海水族館を訪れるパターンは初めてでした。でもこのコースのほうが効率的です。定番ですがジンベイザメはいつ見ても気持ちがおだやかになります。昼食は水族館内で焼きそばをいただきましたが、ほとんど「焼うどん」でした。万座毛は駐車場がきれいになっていましたが、昔のごちゃごちゃした土産物店がなくなり、アジアを連想させる沖縄らしさが消えてしまったようで、少し寂しく感じました。どこでもそうですが、コロナの影響で、土産物売り場で試食ができないのはやはり残念です。アメリカンビレッジは若者向けですので、じいさんは時間を持て余しました。ツアー全体としてはコスパはよいと思います。
なお沖縄県庁前から乗車しましたが、係員がいないため、初めての人には集合場所がわかりにくいようです。

I signed up for a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave and a mangrove SUP tour, but we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to bad weather. However, the day before, they suggested snorkeling at a different location, and I decided to experience that instead. On the day of the tour, it was cloudy with some light rain, but I was able to enjoy both snorkeling and SUP thoroughly.

They took over 100 photos during the experience, and I was happy to receive the data for free. I didn't have to worry about taking my own photos, which allowed me to focus on the activities. The guides were really cheerful, and I had a great time throughout the experience. They also shared many recommendations for Ishigaki Island, which allowed me to enjoy my time even after the tour ended.

青の洞窟シュノーケリングとマングローブSUPのツアーに申し込みましたが、天候不良により青の洞窟には行けませんでした。…が、前日に別の場所でのシュノーケリングをご提案いただき、そちらで体験することにしました。当日は曇りでポツポツと雨が降っていましたがシュノーケリングもSUPも十分楽しむことができました。
体験中の写真も100枚を超えるくらい撮っていただき、しかもデータを無料で貰うことができて嬉しかったです。体験中に自分で写真を撮らなくていいので集中して取り組むことができました。
ガイドのみなさん、ほんとに明るくて終始楽しく体験することができました。石垣島のおススメもたくさん教えて頂いてツアー終了後も楽しく過ごすことができました。

I was picked up at the airport by a cute Hello Kitty taxi (there are only a few of them), which really boosted my spirits (^o^).

The five-hour course included the airport → Kyoda Road Station → Kouri Island → supermarket → hotel in Motobu. The kind female driver was very accommodating, even responding politely to my request to take a picture of the white flowers I saw earlier. She took me to a large local supermarket where I was able to buy unique Okinawan ingredients, allowing me to enjoy Okinawan cuisine every day (since it was a self-catering accommodation).

Why didn't I give it the highest rating? It was because of the downpour during the rainy season, which forced us to give up on visiting Nakijin Castle ruins ^^; I will definitely ask for this service again next time and seek a do-over!

かわいいキティちゃんのタクシー(数台しかない)で空港に迎えに来てくれて、テンションアップ(^o^)

５時間コースで、空港→許田道の駅→古宇利島→スーパー→本部のホテル。
親切な女性ドライバーさんで、「さっき見た白い花の写真を撮りたい」なんていう要望にも丁寧に対応してくれました。
スーパーも地元の大きな店に連れて行ってくれて、沖縄独特の食材を買うことができたので、毎日沖縄料理を楽しめました(基本自炊の宿なので)。

なぜ最高の評価にならなかったか?
それは梅雨のスコールのような雨で、今帰仁城跡観光を断念したから^^;
次の機会にはまたお願いして、リベンジします❢
