All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I thought it might be cold with a temperature of around 25°C, but when the sun was out, it felt warm, and while paddling on the SUP, it was actually quite hot! I was able to swim just fine while wearing a wetsuit for snorkeling! The guide was always attentive to our well-being, which made it easy to enjoy ourselves. 🤙 The sea and river weren't crowded at all, so we could move around freely and leisurely. I think coming here in winter could be a great option!

気温は25℃くらいで寒いかなと思いましたが、太陽が出ていると暖かく、SUPは漕いでいるとむしろ暑いくらいでした！シュノーケリングもウェットスーツを着用したら全然泳げました！
ガイドさんが常に体調を気にかけてくださるので安心して楽しめました🤙
海も川も混雑しておらず、のんびり自由に動けるので、あえて冬に来るのもありかなと思います。

The instructors were very kind and taught us well, which was great. Even though it wasn't a very good day weather-wise, our guide was able to find sea turtles and clownfish for us.

The photos they took were amazing and captured a wonderful atmosphere that was different from my own perspective.

初心者でもとても親切に教えてくれますので、とても良かったです。
コンディションがあまり良くない日だったのですが、ガイドさんがウミガメ、クマノミを見つけてくれました～。

撮っていただいた写真は、自分目線とは違いとても素晴らしい雰囲気のものを撮って頂けました

There were many foreign tourists, and the tour guide explained in three languages (Japanese, English, and Korean)! Okinawa has a lot of tourist attractions, so for those who want to take their time and take plenty of photos, it might be a bit tight on time, so be careful.

外国人観光客が多く、添乗員さんは3ヶ国語（日本語・英語・韓国語）で説明してくれました！
沖縄の観光地盛りだくさんなので、じっくり見たい人や写真を沢山撮りたい人にとっては時間が足りないかもしれないので注意です。

It was the right choice to use a sightseeing taxi for our trip with my parents. We had planned to see the three major bridges and have a Miyako beef steak lunch in five hours, but we were able to stop at several spots along the way, making our time on Miyako Island very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

両親との旅行で移動手段を観光タクシーにしたのは正解でした。
5時間で3大大橋と宮古牛ステーキランチの予定でしたが、道中でいくつものスポットに寄っていただき、宮古島を大変楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

We had a great time with a friendly guide and about six participants, which was just the right size for the experience. We were able to see coconut crabs and hermit crabs! Even if you're not comfortable with animals or insects, you can still enjoy it without having to touch them. If you stay on Iriomote Island, I highly recommend the night tour.

気さくなガイドさん1人に参加者も6名程度？でちょうどよい規模感で楽しめました。
ヤシガニやヤドカリなど見ることができました！動物や虫が苦手でも触ったりすらわけじゃないので楽しめると思います。
西表島に宿泊したらナイトツアーがおすすめです。

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。

Thank you for accommodating the time change on the day without any complaints. It was truly the best. The boat ride had some wind and waves, but it was so much fun! You definitely should do this because there’s no other experience quite like it!

当日の時間変更も嫌な顔せずやっていただきありがとうございました。本当最高でした。ボートも風波あったけど楽しかったー。
こんな神秘的な体験は他にないから絶対にやった方がいい！

Thank you for taking us on the stargazing tour this time. It was a wonderful time, not only because of the beautiful star photos but also for all the information you shared about Miyako Island. We had so much fun!!

At one point, I thought it might be canceled due to the clouds, but suddenly it cleared up, and we were able to take photos, which I can only attribute to our good luck. I definitely want to ask Afro for help again!!

今回は星空ツアー行っていただきありがとうございます。素敵な星の写真はもちろん宮古島についても色々と教えていただき素敵な時間でした。めっちゃ楽しかった！！
曇りで一度は中止かと思いましたが突如晴れてきて撮れたのは私たちの強運のおかげと言わざるを得ません。また、アフロさんにお願いしたい！！

I was moved by the guide who never gave up until the end! They said, "Let's wait a little longer!" and in the end, the stars came out! We all applauded and almost cried. It was a miraculous night!

最後まで諦めないガイドさんに感動！　「もう少し待ちましょう！」って言ってくれて、本当に最後に星が出た！全員で拍手して泣きそうになった。奇跡の夜だった！

It was a wonderful tour. We gathered at Uehara Port and after about 40 minutes, we arrived at the water buffalo riding area, and then we headed to Yufu Island. There were many water buffaloes. We had just under an hour of free time here, which was enough to explore. After that, we returned to Uehara Port for lunch. Our guide recommended a delicious restaurant. We went into a pork cutlet place and were very satisfied. (Meals are not included.) After that, we went on the main mangrove canoe tour. The guide taught us how to paddle, and we were off to challenge ourselves. Time flew by in no time. Even as a beginner, I was able to paddle easily. Your lower body will get wet before you start paddling, so a change of clothes is necessary. The guide takes photos with the mangroves, so there's no need to bring a smartphone or camera. The guides were all very nice people.

素晴らしいツアーでした。上原港集合で約40分で水牛乗り場へ。そしては由布島へ。水牛が沢山いました。ここで1時間弱の自由時間。十分回れました。そして再び上原港へ。そこでランチ。美味しいお店をガイドさんから紹介されました。豚カツのお店に入り、大満足。(食事は込みではありません。)その後メインのマングローブカヌーツアーへ。ガイドさんから漕ぎ方を教わり、いざチャレンジ。あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。初心者の私でも簡単に漕ぐ事ができました。下半身は漕ぐ前から濡れますので、着替えは必要です。マングローブと一緒にガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれるので、スマートフォンや、カメラ持ち込み不要です。ガイドさんは皆さんとっても良い人達でした。

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。

Even without the stars, the atmosphere was great! In the light of the flashlight, the guide whispered, "Nature is alive," and that phrase left a strong impression. The quiet time felt luxurious.

星が出なくても雰囲気がよかった！　懐中電灯の明かりの中、ガイドさんが「自然は生きてますね」ってつぶやいた言葉が印象的。静かな時間が贅沢だった。

Even though it was cloudy, the guide's brightness lifted my spirits! With their careful explanations and gentle encouragement, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. The quiet blue cave left a lasting impression; it was the best experience!

曇りでもガイドさんの明るさで気分は晴れ！　丁寧な説明と優しい声かけで安心して楽しめた。静かな青の洞窟が心に残る最高の体験だった！

I participated in December.

I was really looking forward to seeing the coconut crabs, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the stars, but I had a great time overall. There aren't many opportunities to go on a night tour, and I enjoyed learning about other creatures and plants, as well as the stories from our guide about Ishigaki Island, even during the car rides!

I'll come back for a revenge trip during the new moon in summer! I'm glad I was able to rent rubber boots!

12月に参加しました。
楽しみにしていたヤシガニ、星を見れなかったのは残念だったけど、ナイトツアーになかなか行ける機会がないのと、他の生き物や植物、ガイドさんの石垣島ならお話しなど、車での移動中含めてとても楽しかったです！！

新月の夏にまたリベンジしにきます！
長靴レンタルできて助かりました！

It was quite a speedy sightseeing bus tour, but the guide's sanshin playing and singing, along with the commentary, made the trip a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. I thought it was a bit pricey for about four hours, but I recommend the tour by To Transport.

かなりスピーディーな観光バスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんの三線と歌、案内が旅を最高の思い出にしてくれました。
ありがとうございました。
約四時間で少しお高いかなと思いましたが、東運輸さんのツアーはお勧めです。

Initially, it was scheduled to start at 19:30, but I received a message that it might clear up around 21:00 due to the clouds, so I decided to wait. During that time, there were actually a few moments when the clouds cleared, and I was able to take some photos. I could feel that they were doing their best to capture good shots despite the clouds, and I'm really glad I chose to come here. Since the moon is bright during this season, the focus was on the moon, but I would like to come back around summer when the focus is on the stars. Thank you very much!

当初19:30スタートの予定でしたが、雲が多いので21:00から晴れるかもしれないとの連絡をいただきせっかくなので待たせたいただきました。
そしたら本当に何回か雲がなくなる瞬間があり、その間に写真を取っていただきました。
雲がある中、あの手この手でなんとかいい写真を撮ろうとしてくれているのが伝わってきてここに頼んでよかったなと思います。
この時期は月が明るいので月メインとのことで、次回来る時は星メインの夏頃にまた来たいと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。

I absolutely wanted to experience the water buffalo cart on my first visit to Taketomi Island! It was raining, but I didn't mind at all because the red brick houses and the water buffalo provided the best healing experience! The explanations from the staff and the folk songs were also wonderful. I definitely want to experience it again when I come back. I rented a bicycle and went to Nishi-Sanbashi and Kondoi Beach. I was first impressed by Nishi-Sanbashi, and then when I arrived at Kondoi Beach, I was amazed to see some clear skies, making it feel like a paradise. I didn't have enough time to go to Kaiji Beach, so I definitely want to go next time!

初めての竹富島で絶対に体験したかった水牛車♪雨が降ってましたが全然気にならないほど赤煉瓦の家並みや水牛くん達が最高の癒しをくれました！担当の方の説明や民謡も素晴らしかったです♡また、来れた時には絶対に体験したいです。自転車を借りて西桟橋とコンドイビーチに行きました。まず西桟橋に感動して次にコンドイビーチに着いたら晴れ間も見えて天国のようなビーチに感動しっぱなしでした。時間がなくてカイジ浜にいけなかったので次回絶対に行きたいです！

It was my first experience, and I was very nervous, but I was able to relax thanks to the smiling support of our guide, Ishii. As we paddled through the mangrove forest in the canoe, I was able to experience the dynamism of nature and the diversity of living creatures. The explanations were clear, and I had a very fulfilling and enjoyable time.

初めての体験でとても緊張しましたが、ガイドの石井さんの笑顔の対応でリラックスできました。マングローブの林をカヌーで進むにつれて、自然のダイナミックさや生き物の多様性を体感できました。分かりやすく説明して下さってとても充実した楽しい時間でした。

It's great that you can easily go to the Churaumi Aquarium on a bus tour! I wish the stay at the Churaumi Aquarium had been a bit longer. Manza Beach and Kouri Island were surprisingly nice too!

美ら海水族館に楽にバスツアーで行けるのがいい！
もう少し美ら海水族館の滞在時間が長い方が良かった。
万座毛や古宇利島も何気に良かった！

In April this year, I went sightseeing in Miyako Island with a rental car. This time, I wanted to show my sister the beautiful Miyako Island by taking a cruise ship, so I requested a sightseeing taxi. We were blessed with good weather, and our driver, Mr. Anzai, was very kind. He took us to places like Higashi-Hennazaki, Yonaha Maehama, Kurima Bridge, and Irabu Island, and even to some hidden gems. We were able to take a lot of photos. It created wonderful memories, and my sister was very happy. I was so glad to have met such a great driver. Thank you very much!

今年　４月にレンタカーで宮古島観光をしました。
今回は、クルーズ船に　乗って綺麗な宮古島を姉に見せたくて　観光タクシーをお願いしました　天気にも恵まれ　運転手さんのあんざいさんが親切で　東平安名崎　与那覇前浜　来間大橋　伊良部島　穴場にも連れて行って貰えて　写真もいっぱい撮って頂きました。
良い思い出ができ　姉も喜んでいました。
良い運転手さんに　巡り会えて最高でした
ありがとうございました。

It was held under a cloudy sky with little moonlight, but the guide's explanations were very kind, making it a fun time even for children. Walking through the pitch-black thicket might feel scary compared to the well-lit streets for some people. They provide non-slip shoes and flashlights for rent.

月明かりの少ない曇空での開催でしたが、ガイドさんの解説がとても優しく、子供でも楽しい時間を過ごせます。真っ暗な藪の中を歩くのは灯りのある街と比べて、怖いを感じる方もいるかもしれません。滑りにくい靴と懐中電灯は貸出してくれます。

Depending on the mood of the cow, the ride can feel long or surprisingly short, allowing you to sense its personality. The explanations from the accompanying guide were also interesting, and I was able to have a very pleasant time.

牛の気分次第で長く乗れたり、以外に短く感じたり個性を感じられます。同乗のガイドさんの解説も面白くとても気持ちいい時間を過ごすことができました。

I think the sightseeing was good even though the weather wasn't very nice. Unfortunately, the lunch was not good. To be honest, it was disappointing.

観光は天気があまり良くない中でもよかったと思います。残念なのは昼飯｡はっきり言って美味しくなかった。正直に残念です。

The taxi driver was friendly, which was great. This time, since I went by cruise ship, I was able to enjoy some drinks at lunch, which was nice. When I go again, I look forward to your assistance.

タクシーの運転手さんも気さくな方で良かったです。今回はクルーズ船で行ったので、お昼にお酒も飲めたので良かったです。また、行く時は、宜しくお願いします。

On Yubu Island, the relaxed demeanor of the water buffalo is truly soothing. The staff were kind and interacted with them in a way that brought out their enthusiasm, which was lovely to see. I was moved by the beauty of nature when I saw the golden chrysalis of the Papilio butterfly in the butterfly garden! The mangrove cruise allows the boat to get quite close, providing a rare view that you can't see in Honshu. Although the tour starts early, you can enjoy a full day of activities, making it very fulfilling.

由布島では水牛たちののんびり感には癒されます。スタッフの方もやさしく彼らのやる気を引き出すように語りかけながら操作されている姿も良かった。蝶々園のオオゴマダラの黄金の蛹には自然の素晴らしさに感動！マングローブ遊覧はかなり近くまで船を近づけてくれます。当たり前ですが本州では見ることのできない貴重な景色です。ツアー開始時間は早いですが１日十分楽しめますので充実します。

I went to Miyako Island for my honeymoon. I had heard that there wouldn't be many stars out at this time of year, but the starry sky was absolutely stunning, and I was able to capture a beautiful picture of the Milky Way! Upon closer inspection, I noticed several shooting stars in the photos as well; they were really beautifully captured. I would love to go again around summer and request the same experience! Thank you for this time!

ハネムーンで宮古島に行きました。
時期的にあまり星が出ないと伺っていましたが、満点の星空で天の川がとっても綺麗に写真に収められていました！よく見ると流れ星も何箇所も写っており本当に素敵に撮影して頂きました。次回は夏頃に行きまた、お願いしたいです！！
今回はありがとうございました

I was able to make a reservation here until the morning of the day, so I went ahead and booked it. Perhaps due to the rain, there were only two participants, including myself, so we could enjoy nature at our own pace. The instructor was very kind and shared a lot of information about nature. It was a wonderful experience! Also, it was great that there were clean restrooms, changing rooms, and a place to store our belongings.

当日の朝まで予約可能なのがこちらだったので予約させていただきました。
雨の影響もあってか参加者は自分含めて2人だけだったので、自分たちのペースでゆったりと自然を楽しむことができました。インストラクターの方もとても親切で、たくさん自然についてお話してくれました。とても良い体験ができました！
あときれいなトイレ、更衣室、荷物置き場が完備されているのも良かったです。

It was incredibly crowded. I want to come back and try again when it's less busy. The distance from the parking lot to the entrance is quite long. It would be nice if the restaurant had a bit more variety.

半端ない混み具合でした。
空いてる時にリベンジしたい。駐車場から入り口まで距離長いです。
レストランはもう少し充実してるとありがたい。
