All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was my first time in Miyako Island. I decided to join a one-day tour for SUP and snorkeling because I wanted to feel the island up close. During the morning SUP session, I was a beginner, but the guide was kind and taught me carefully. I started off paddling while sitting, but soon I was able to stand and paddle, which felt amazing. Unfortunately, during the afternoon snorkeling, I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I was able to observe various fish in the coral reefs, which was a lot of fun. Overall, it was a very valuable experience throughout the day.

初めての宮古島でした。島を肌で感じたいと言うことで、SUP＋シュノーケリングの1日ツアーに参加を決めました。午前のSUPでは初心者でしたがガイドの方が優しく丁寧に教えてくださり、最初は座って漕いでいましたが、すぐに立って漕ぐことができるようになりとても気持ちよかったです。午後のシュノーケリングでは残念ながら海亀に会うことはできませんでしたが、サンゴ礁で様々なお魚を観察することができとても楽しかったです。1日を通してとても貴重な体験ができました。

I was taken to two places I wanted to visit and some recommended spots. The driving was careful, and there were occasional explanations of the scenery visible from the car window, which allowed me to enjoy the day. Thank you very much.

こちらの希望の場所２カ所とおすすめの場所を回ってもらいました。運転も丁寧で、車窓から見える景色の説明も時折していただいて、一日楽しい気分で過ごすことが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

The instructor was kind, and I had a lot of fun! The weather was great, and I encountered about six sea turtles. It turned out to be the best day. Thank you!

インストラクターの方も優しくとても楽しめました！
天候にも恵まれウミガメも6匹くらい出会えました。
最高の一日になりました。ありがとうございました。

I was interested in the Valley of Gangala and participated in the tour. It was a great tour since it's quite difficult to access places like the Sefa Utaki without a rental car. The Valley of Gangala was explained thoroughly by the guide, and I really enjoyed the nature that you can't experience in the city. I was very satisfied!

ガンガーラの谷に興味があり参加させて頂きました。
なかなかレンタカーがないと斎場御嶽等には行きにくい場所だったので、とてもいいツアーでした。
ガンガーラ谷は、ガイドの方からしっかり説明頂いて、都会では体感出来ない自然を楽しめるツアーでかなり満足しました！

The aquarium took a long time to get to, so I felt a bit regretful that we didn't have enough time to explore. The guide not only provided sightseeing information but also shared insights about the current situation of the U.S. military bases and the feelings of the people of Okinawa, helping us understand the true nature of Okinawa. I found it very relatable and educational.

水族館は移動に時間がかかるので、その分、見学時間が足りなかったのが、少し心残りです。
ガイドさんは、単に観光案内だけでなく、米軍基地の現状や、沖縄の人たちの心情をしっかりとお話されて、沖縄の真の姿を理解させてくださいました。とても共感し、勉強になりました。

The weather wasn't very good, but the high-speed boat was fast and had little sway. It's great that you can step on Iriomote Island and see all the islands in one day! The water buffalo is cute.

てんこうはあまりよくなかったが、高速艇は早く揺れも少ない。一日で西表を踏めてすべての島を遠望できるのでGOOD！
水牛がかわいいぞ。

We were fortunate with the weather and were able to take some wonderful starry sky photos! I thought it might be difficult since we had a one-year-old child, but Ryota, who was in charge, guided us through the composition and poses with care and smoothness, so we managed to finish the shoot! The data was processed and sent back quickly, allowing us to enjoy the photos sooner than we expected! If anyone is going to Miyako Island, I will definitely recommend this! Thank you very much!

天候にも運良く恵まれ、とても素敵な星空フォトを撮っていただきました！1歳の子供がいたのでなかなか難しいかな‥と思いましたが、担当してくれた、りょーたさんが、丁寧且つスムーズに構図やポーズを誘導してくださったので、なんとか撮り終わる事が出来ました！！データも迅速に処理し送ってくださったので、思っていたよりも早く写真を楽しむことが出来ました！！宮古島に行かれる方がいらっしゃったら紹介しようと思います！ありがとうございました！！

The photographer was funny, and the stars were beautiful; I was very moved. Thank you for the wonderful time!

写真を撮ってくれるお兄さんが面白くて
星も綺麗でとても感動しました。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

Before participating, I thought it might just be about the coconut crabs, but we were blessed with great weather and the stars were incredibly beautiful! I was surprised to see so many stars shining, which you can't see in the city. The explanation of the night sky was easy to understand, and it was the first time I clearly recognized so many constellations. Unfortunately, we didn't see any coconut crabs, but I was happy that the guide caught and showed us other creatures, showing their effort to entertain us! Thank you for the valuable experience!

参加前はヤシガニメインなのかなと思っていたのですが、天候にも恵まれ星がとにかく綺麗でした！
都会では見えなくても、実はこんなにたくさんの星が輝いているのだと驚きました。
星空解説も分かりやすく、こんなにも星座がはっきりわかったのは初めてでした。
残念ながらヤシガニは見えなかったのですが、他の生き物を捕まえて見せてくださったりとガイドさんの楽しませようとしてくれる気持ちがうれしかったです！
貴重な体験をありがとうございました！

This time, I traveled without a car, but I wanted to go on a little trip before getting on the plane, so I chose this option. Two-thirds of the group chose Okinawa World. I chose the Gyokusendo Cave, and I enjoyed learning about Okinawa's nature and ancient stories. The guide was also very nice. At the beginning of the tour, we received a metal bottle filled with tea. I thought it was heavy and unnecessary, but since we walked quite a bit, my water supply might not have been enough. However, I wish they had informed us that the bottles would be distributed before getting off the bus.

Unfortunately, the bus seatbelt was broken, and there was trash in the seat, which is why I rated it ★-1. We arrived at the airport a little before 1 PM.

今回は車なしで旅行しましたが、飛行機に乗る前に少しだけ遠出したいなと思い選びました。2/3の方は沖縄ワールドを選ばれていました。
私はガンガラーの谷を選び、沖縄の自然や太古の話を知れて楽しかったです。ガイドさんもとてもよい方でした。ツアーの最初にお茶が入った金属のボトルをいただきます。重いのにいらないよーと思いましたが、それなりに歩いたので、手持ちの水だけでは足りなかったかもしれません。ただバスを降りる前にボトルが配られることを教えてほしかったなと思いました。
残念だったのは、バスのシートベルトが壊れていたことと、座席にゴミがあったことです。このため★-1としました。
13時少し前には空港に到着しました。

Although it was a last-minute reservation on the morning of the day, they handled it smoothly, and I was able to experience the long-awaited whale watching. I had some concerns about participating with three small children, but they were very considerate, allowing both adults and children to enjoy it with peace of mind. We were able to see many whales safely, making it a very valuable experience. My family and I are discussing that if we have the opportunity to go to Okinawa during this season again, whale watching is a must! We would like to rely on them again at that time.

当日朝の急な予約でしたが、スムーズに対応していただき、念願のホエールウォッチングを体験することができました。
小さい子供3人連れての参加でいろいろと不安はありましたが、いろいろと配慮していただき、大人も子供も安心して楽しむことができて良かったです。
無事にたくさんのクジラ達に会うことができ、とても貴重な体験になりました。
今後もこの時期に沖縄に行く機会があれば、ホエールウォッチングは外せないね！と家族で話しています。
その際にはまたお世話になりたいと思います。

The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and she was a wonderful singer. I would love to join her again next time, but I forgot her name; she was the beautiful lady from March 8th.

ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく歌も上手で素敵な方でした。
又、次回もご一緒して頂きたいと思いますが名前を忘れました3月8日の綺麗なお姉さんでした。

I was a bit anxious since it was my first time doing SUP and snorkeling, but the guide was very attentive and I had a great time! Even though I was the only one participating among many pairs, I had no issues at all. During the SUP, we were taken to a waterfall basin, which was deep enough that I couldn't touch the bottom, but I could swim and enjoy the waterfall experience! I was nervous about snorkeling for the first time, but I was able to get used to it while holding onto the guide's float board.

Bara Island was a bit painful to walk on due to the heels, but it was a stunning island made of rare coral, with only two in the world! The view was breathtaking! There were plenty of fish and coral, and the deep trenches expanded the underwater world for sure. I was really glad to participate, especially since it had been 3 to 4 weeks since the last landing! The guide took lots of photos and videos, so I could safely leave my smartphone in the car.

Next time, I’d like to try the limestone caves and sea turtle snorkeling as well! Thank you for your thoughtful care; I enjoyed every moment!

初SUP&初シュノーケリングだったので不安な気持ちがありましたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださり楽しめました！
お二人組が多い中1人参加でしたが全く問題なく参加できました◎
SUPの途中滝壺に案内して下さり、足がつかないほど深いところでしたが泳いで滝行もできます！
初シュノーケリングで不安だったのでガイドさんの浮輪ボードにつかまりながら馴らせていけました！
バラス島は途中歩くところがかかとが痛いですが世界に二つしかない貴重な珊瑚でできた島とのことで絶景でした！お魚や珊瑚はもちろん深い海溝もあり世界観が広がること間違いなしだと思います。3〜4週間振りの上陸とのことで本当に参加できて良かったです！！
ガイドさんが沢山お写真や動画を撮って下さったのでスマホも安心して車内に置いていけます◎
次回は鍾乳洞や海亀シュノーケリング等も行ってみたいです！
細やかな気遣いをしてくださり終始楽しめましたありがとうございました！！

I experienced SUP for the first time, and it was so much fun!!! The guide's stories were interesting, and the weather was nice, allowing us to see the mangroves beautifully, making it a wonderful memory!

During the snorkeling in the afternoon, the sea was beautiful, and we saw many coral reefs and fish! Barasu Island was also incredibly beautiful!!

This is a recommended tour if you come to Iriomote Island!

初めてSUPを体験しましたが，めちゃ楽しめました！！！ガイドさんの話も面白く，晴れていてマングローブも綺麗に見れて最高の思い出になりました！
また午後に行ったシュノーケリングでは，海が綺麗でサンゴ礁や魚がたくさん見れました！バラス島も最高に綺麗でした！！
西表島に来たらオススメのツアーです！

It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, so I wasn't sure about the time and distances, but the female driver made various suggestions for me. She shared many recommendations for delicious food places during the ride, and the conversation was rich and engaging, making the four hours fly by. Thank you very much! The weather was also favorable, making it the best trip to Ishigaki Island.

I would highly recommend this sightseeing taxi service to those going on their first trip to Ishigaki Island!

はじめての石垣島旅行だったので、時間や距離感がわからず女性ドライバーさんがいろいろ提案してくださいました。
車内でも食べ物が美味しいお店など、たくさん教えて頂き話題も豊富で、あっという間の4時間でした。ありがとうございました！
天候にも恵まれたし最高の石垣島旅行になりました。

はじめての石垣島旅行に行かれる方々に、オススメしたい観光タクシーさんでした〜

We had a fun departure with the veteran guide's lively talk!

We enjoyed the Okinawa vibe on a remote island accessible by bus, and then headed to the main attraction, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There was plenty of time allocated, so we could leisurely enjoy the aquarium without rushing, and we also got to visit facilities that are not easily accessible on our own, which greatly increased our satisfaction! Additionally, it was more affordable than going individually, making it a great value for money.

ベテランガイドさんの軽快なトークで楽しく出発！

バスで行ける離島で沖縄気分を満喫し、
メインの美ら海水族館へ。
たっぷり時間を設けていただけるので、慌てることなくゆっくり水族館を楽しみ、個人ではなかなか行かないような施設にもよっていただけるので
満足度高いです！
また個人で行くよりもリーズナブルに行けたのでコスパいいです。

We participated as a couple and used a tour since we couldn't drive. Even if we could drive, the itinerary was so packed that we wouldn't have been able to see everything. It was great to cycle through the Fukugi tree-lined path! If I could wish for something, I would have liked to stay a bit longer in American Village.

夫婦で参加しましたが、車を運転できないのでツアーを利用しました。もし運転できても、この内容で回り切ることはできないくらいの充実ぶりでした。フクギ並木でサイクリングできたのが良かったです！欲を言ったらアメリカンビレッジは、もう少し長くいたかったです。

Since the tour to Balas Island was canceled, I only participated in the morning mangrove canoeing. There were quite a few guests, and at first, I wondered if it would be okay, but the guides worked together efficiently and made sure that each guide team could rotate in an orderly manner. The transportation to the port was smooth, and all the guests were cooperative, making it a fun experience.

Guide R-kun constantly entertained the guests with interesting stories, ranging from jokes to serious jungle tales. At various points, he took photos of each guest, and when we managed to strike a good pose, everyone applauded, which was a lot of fun!

I intended to bring my waterproof camera, but I was told to leave it behind, so I complied. However, there were guests from other teams who brought their cameras, so I thought it would be even better if there was some consistency regarding that. Although I couldn't bring my camera, I was able to take many photos, and I received them via LINE at the end, which was great!

バラス島が催行されなくなったため、午前のマングローブカヌーのみ参加しました。
ゲストが結構な大人数で、最初は大丈夫かな〜と思ったのですが、ガイドのみなさんが仲良くテキパキ連携して、それぞれのガイドチームが順序よくまわれるよう工夫されていました。港への送迎もスムーズで、ゲストのみなさんも協力的で楽しくすごせました。
ガイドのRっくんは常にゲストを楽しませようとおもしろい話（ジョークから真面目なジャングルの話まで笑）をたくさんしてくれました。ポイントポイントで各ゲストごとに写真を撮ってくれて、良いポーズが撮れるとみんなで拍手したり、楽しかったです！
自分の防水カメラを持っていこうと思ったら置いていってほしいと言われたので、従ったのですが、持ってきてるチームのゲストもいたので、その辺り統一していただけるとさらに良いなぁと思いました。自分のカメラは持っていけませんでしたが、写真はたくさん撮って最期にLINEでもらえたので、よかったです！

This is my second time with the water buffalo tour, and this time it was with the Taketomi Tourism Center. The laid-back water buffalo "Mae" stopped several times along the way to take breaks, and we enjoyed the path lined with bougainvillea. There is also a photo service available.

水牛観光は二度目ですが、
今回は竹富観光センターさんでした。
のんびりマイペースの水牛「真栄」君、
途中何度も立ち止まり、休憩しながら、
ブーゲンビリアの道をすすみ、
和みました。
写真サービスも、あります。

We were provided with rubber boots and after moving by car, we entered the jungle! Depending on the season and timing, the guide found a coconut crab for us. It was much larger and more impressive in person than in photos, and I was really glad to see it!

The stars were bright that night, close to a full moon, but we were able to see the stars by the seaside, and the guide explained the constellations, which made me very satisfied! I heard that you can also see the Milky Way in the summer, so I would like to come back in other seasons as well.

長靴を用意してもらい、クルマで移動したあとジャングルの中に入って行きました！
時期やタイミングによると思いますが、ガイドさんがヤシガニを見つけてくれました。本物は写真で見てたよりも大きくて迫力があってみれて良かったなと思いました！
星は、当日満月に近くて夜でも明るかったのですが、海辺で星を見れて、またガイドさんが星座の説明をしてくれて、大満足でした！
夏では天の川も観れると聞いたので、また他の季節にも来てみたいです。

It was a very efficient tour where we could visit many highlights in just one day, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Kouri Island and American Village.

Additionally, our guide even showcased Okinawan folk songs and played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a fun time on the bus.

(On the bus, announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Korean, which made it reassuring for international visitors.)

Next time I go to Okinawa, I would love to take a bus tour again.

「美ら海水族館」をはじめ、「古宇利島」や「アメリカンビレッジ」など、見どころ満載なところを1日で見て回ることができる、非常に効率的なツアーでした。

また、ガイドさんが沖縄の民謡や三線の演奏まで披露して下さったので、バスの中でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

(バスの中では、英語・中国語・韓国語のアナウンスも流れていて、海外の人でも安心できます)

今度、沖縄に行ったらまたバスツアーで観光したいです。

The staff were very kind and explained everything well. They also took care of my child when he got sick, and I really appreciate that.

As for the whale watching, we were able to see the pectoral fins and tails coming out of the water, and they came quite close to us, which was an impressive experience. I would like to try again when the waves are calmer.

スタッフのみなさん。とても親切に説明してくださいました。また子供が吐いてしまった時も親身になって対応してくださいました。その節はありがとうございます。
ホエールウォッチングのほうは胸ビレや尾びれなど水面に出してくれて近くまで寄ってきてくれてとても迫力がある場面に出会うことができました。波の穏やかな時にもう一度挑戦したいと思います。

It was a weekday, but everywhere was crowded, making it difficult to take our time exploring within the tour schedule. I was too concerned about the meeting time, and there were many people... so I felt like we had little free time. However, I enjoyed it because we were taken to many sightseeing spots.

平日でしたがどこも混み合ってて、ツアーの時間内ではゆっくり観て回るのはのは難しいですね。集合時間が気になり過ぎて人も多く…自由時間は少なかったかなと？
ですが、沢山観光地など連れて行っていただいたので楽しめました。

I was able to enjoy everything I wanted to see and do on this tour. I do not recommend doing the island hopping on your own. After landing on the island by ferry, there is a distance to travel to the sightseeing spots, so you'll need transportation.

見たいところやってみたいこと、全部このツアーで楽しめました。
離島巡りは個人でやるのはお勧めしません。
フェリーで離島上陸後、観光スポットまで行くのに距離があるので足が必要になります。

My first trip to the three islands was enjoyable, as I was able to efficiently visit places that would be difficult to cover on my own. The only downside was at the Takeubushima Water Buffalo Cart stop, where I felt a bit uncomfortable being asked to buy photos that I didn't want. In this age of smartphones, I think such commemorative photos are unnecessary. I also thought it would be better if we could choose at the beginning whether or not to include a commemorative photo.

初めての3島巡りは、個人では周りきれないスケジュールを効率よく周る事ができ楽しめました。
唯一残念なのは、竹生島水牛車下車庫　欲しくも無い写真を撮られ買わないか？と言うよくあるパターンを断るのにちょっと嫌な気分になりました。
スマホ普及のご時世なのでその様な記念写真はいらないと思います。又最初から記念写真付きか付きじゃ無いか選べたら良いとも思いました。

It was a tour with two middle-aged men, but I was able to participate feeling great. I think it would be better if there were a bit more time for restroom breaks along the way. The mothers with children seemed to have a tough time.

初老のオヤジ二人のツアー参加でしたが、ただただ気分良く参加出来ました。
途中でのトイレ休憩にもう少し余裕があれば良いのではと思われます。
子ども連れのお母さんが大変そうでした。

I'm glad I was able to visit several tourist attractions even without a car! At American Village, I think it would be difficult to take photos and leisurely enjoy meals or shopping at the same time. As for the Churaumi Aquarium, it depends on the person, but I felt it was just the right amount of time. I did have to hurry a bit, but I enjoyed the large tank, other exhibits, and the dolphin show. I recommend it!

車を持っていなくても、いくつかの観光名所を回れて良かったです！！
アメリカンヴィレッジは写真を撮っていたらご飯とか買い物をゆっくりすることは難しいと思います。美ら海水族館は人にもよるとは思いますが、ちょうど良い時間で少し急ぎはしましたが、大水槽やほかのコーナー、イルカショーも楽しめました。
おすすめです。

Due to a cold wave hitting the mainland, the temperature in Ishigaki was around 15°C the day before the tour. However, on the day of the tour, the temperature rose to about 20°C. My friend was looking forward to seeing coconut crabs, while I was hoping for a starry sky, but unfortunately, the weather was cloudy. The tour started with all participants and the guide using flashlights to search for coconut crabs along the path from the road into the forest and down to the coast. It seems the temperature could have been a bit higher. The guide found insects and small crustaceans, and it was a fun time as he picked them up and took pictures for us. I would love to try again to see the coconut crabs. The conversations in the car about Ishigaki were enjoyable, and despite the varied ages and solo participants, I felt that everyone was able to enjoy themselves without hesitation. Thank you very much.

本土に寒波が来た関係で、石垣の気温も15℃くらいだったのがツアー前日。うってかわって当日は気温が20度くらいまで上がり、一緒に参加した友人はヤシガニ、私は星空を期待しましたが…あいにくの曇天。スタートは道路から森に分け入り海岸までの道を、ガイドさんと参加者全員で懐中電灯で全力でヤシガニを探しまくるツアーになりましたw。気温がもう一声だったのでしょう。昆虫や小さな甲殻類をガイドさんが見つけては、手に取り写真も撮ってくれる楽しい時間になりました。ヤシガニ見たさにまたチャレンジしたいですね。移動中の車内の石垣トークも楽しく、年代もバラバラ、一人客のご参加など、皆んなが気兼ねなく楽しめるような配慮を感じました。有難うございました。

In less than two weeks, I found myself heading back to Okinawa, and although I was reluctant to drive a rental car again, I discovered this tour that seemed perfect for us, especially since we didn't want to visit the Churaumi Aquarium.

On the day of the tour, we mainly visited Kouri Island and the Fukugi trees in Bise. The weather was cloudy, but the sea and the trees were beautiful, which made it very enjoyable.

For lunch, we had delicious and reasonably priced yakiniku recommended by our driver, which we were grateful for.

In addition to Kouri Island and the Fukugi trees in Bise, we also visited two beaches. One of the locations felt like a hidden gem known only to locals, which made this plan feel special.

The driver engaged us in pleasant conversation during the ride, making our experience comfortable.

We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

2週間も経たないうちに再び沖縄に行くことになりまたレンタカーを運転するのも億劫だと思いつつ、プランの関係(美ら海水族館は希望しない)でバスツアーもあまり気が進まない中でこちらを見つけて、自分たちにぴったりだと思いお願いしました。

当日は古宇利島・備瀬のフクギ並木をメインに行きました。
天気がくもりでしたが、海や並木はきれいでとてもよかったです。

昼食は運転士さんおすすめの焼肉をいただきました。美味しいしリーズナブルで教えていただけてありがたかったです。

古宇利島と備瀬のフクギ並木以外にも、2箇所ビーチに行ってもらいました。そのうちの1箇所は地元民しか知らないような場所で、このプランだからこそだなと感じました。

車内でもとてもいい塩梅でお話をしていただいたので、快適に過ごせました。

とても素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

The driver guided us, which was very helpful!
They also took measures against infections, so we could ride with peace of mind!
To visit famous places in Okinawa, it's recommended to go by car as you can visit many spots!
It was great that we could leave our souvenirs in the car while exploring!
I would like to use this service again when I come back to Okinawa!

運転手さんが案内してくれて、助かりました！
感染症対策もされていて安心して乗ることが出来ました！
沖縄の有名なところに行くには、車でいく方が沢山回れてオススメです！！！！
買ったお土産なども、車において回れるので良かったです！！
また沖縄に来た時は利用したいです！
