All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I visited Miyako Island right at the new moon, so I wanted beautiful photos of the starry sky, but I thought I couldn't take them myself, so I asked for help. The photos were naturally wonderful, and the photographer made me (the model) feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. Truly a professional! The guidance was kind, and I was given various recommendations for spots to visit, which I really appreciated.

ちょうど新月に宮古島を訪れたので、綺麗な星空の思い出写真が欲しかったけど、自分では綺麗に撮れないと思いお願いしました。
写真が素晴らしいのは当たり前ですが、モデル（私ですが）を気分良く楽しませてくれました。さすがプロのカメラマンさんですね！
道案内も親切で、おすすめスポットもいろいろ教えていただき、お心遣いが沁みました。

The fun time flew by in an instant. Although we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to the weather, I am more than satisfied! The cave adventure, canoeing, jungle exploration, and the Lucky Falls were all exciting. While canoeing, the surrounding tranquility made me want to stop paddling and just listen. It was a collection of precious experiences! Yoshida's guidance was easy to understand and I had a great time. He took so many photos that I didn't even need my phone. I want to visit Iriomote Island again! I wonder which waterfall I should go to next! Thank you very much!

楽しい時間はあっという間に終わりました。天候の関係でバラス島には行けませんでしたが、それ以上に満足しています！
鍾乳洞冒険、カヌー、ジャングル探検、幸運の滝、どれもワクワク◎カヌーでは、周りの静けさに思わず漕ぐのをやめて耳を澄ませたくなります。貴重な体験ばかりでした！
吉田さんのガイドもわかりやすくてとっても楽しめました(^^)写真もたくさん撮って下さるので携帯いらずです。また西表島に来たいな〜！次はどこの滝に行こうかな〜！ありがとうございました(^o^)

The aquarium allows unlimited entry on the same day, so I was able to go from the aquarium to the dolphin show and then re-enter the aquarium to take my time looking around. Since it was a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, which was lucky. I was also able to see the baby sea turtles that are only available during this season, which was great.

水族館は当日限り何回でも入場可能なので、水族館→イルカショー、その後に水族館に再入場してゆっくり見ることができました。平日だったこともあり、大混雑もなかったのでラッキーでした。この時期だけのウミガメの赤ちゃんも見ることができよかったです。

In the mangrove forest, we had an explanation from the guide and were able to explore while looking for creatures like coconut crabs. For lunch, we had sashimi with three pieces of white fish fry, which was very filling and delicious. Cape Hedo had an impressive deep blue color; although the wind was strong, the view was wonderful. At Daishi Forest, I was able to walk more easily than I expected and fully enjoy nature. I also thought that infection control measures were well implemented, such as hand sanitizer when getting on and off the bus and seating arrangements that maintained social distance. I'm glad I went.

マングローブ林ではガイドさんの説明があり、ヤシガニ等生き物を探しならがら見学できました。ランチは刺身に白身フライが3枚もつきボリューム満点で美味しかったです。辺戸岬は濃いブルーが印象的、風は強かったけど素晴らしい景色でした。大石林山は思ったより楽に歩くことができ、自然を満喫できました。バス乗り降りの際は手指アルコール消毒、ソーシャルディスタンスを保った座席配置など感染症対策もしっかりされていたと思います。行って良かったです。

I was able to see the Milky Way with my own eyes for the first time. I thought the starry sky on Miyako Island was beautiful enough, but this was a different world. I was worried about whether I could stay still since I had my children (2 years and 7 months) with me, but they took a lot of photos and captured some great shots.

初めて天の川を肉眼で見れました。宮古島本島の星空で十分キレイと思っていましたが、別世界でした。
子供（2歳と7か月）を連れていたので静止出来るか心配でしたが、写真枚数を多めに撮って下さって、良い写真を撮って頂きました。

I made a reservation for 9 PM and drove to the location. Since it was a place where I had fished during the day, I arrived without getting lost.

I thought I would patiently wait while looking at the starry sky, and the staff member helped a lot by sharing various stories about Miyako Island. Because of the island's weather, it can change quickly, and I was worried when it started pouring rain. However, before I knew it, the clouds cleared, and I took the opportunity to climb the rocks and start shooting. Photographing the starry sky is a battle against the weather, and the photographers patiently waited for the clouds to clear to get the best shots, resulting in some wonderful photos! While we were waiting, they engaged us with interesting topics, which made it very enjoyable. Thank you so much!

Also, since there are no lights at all, you can see a beautiful starry sky with the naked eye. When I happened to look up, I was thrilled to see several shooting stars!

Honestly, the photos are so wonderful that they could easily justify a price increase! If you visit Miyako Island, I highly recommend participating in this experience.

What was a bit scary was when a cockroach landed on my back...! I desperately searched in the car on the way back to make sure it didn't sneak in...

21時に予約して現地へ車で向かいました。たまたま昼間に釣りをしていた場所だったので、迷わず到着できました。

星空を見ながら気長に待っていようと思ったら、担当のお兄さんが色々と宮古島の話をしてくれてとても助かりました。
島の天気なので、天候が変わりやすく、途中大雨が振ったりでダメかなー...と思っていた所、気がつけば雲が晴れてチャンス！とばかりに岩場に登って撮影しました。星空を撮るのに天候との戦いで、カメラマンさんたちもベストショットのために雲が晴れるのを粘り強く待ってくださり、すばらしい写真が撮れました！
待ってる間も私達が退屈しないように、興味のある話題を振ってくださり、とても楽しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。
また、一切明かりがないので、肉眼でもきれいな星空が見れます。たまたま見上げていたら、流れ星がいくつも見れてハッピーな気分になりました！

本来ならもっと値上げしてもいいんじゃないか？！ってくらい素敵な写真です。宮古島に来られた際はぜひ参加してみてください。
おそろしかったのは、背中にチャバネ◯キが止まった事...！帰りの車の中で紛れ込んでないか必死に探しました...。

I was able to see a variety of creatures living on Ishigaki Island, including coconut crabs, bats, white crabs, fireflies even in winter, and rare small owls.

Although it was somewhat cloudy on the day, the clouds moved quickly, and I was able to see the stars, which made me very satisfied.

Not only the creatures but also the constellations were explained in detail by the guide, making it easy to understand. Thank you very much.

ヤシガニ、コウモリ、白い蟹、冬なのにホタルや
貴重な小さなフクロウなど、石垣島に生息する
多種多様な生き物をみることができました。

当日は曇りがちでしたが、雲の動きがはやく星も見ることもでき
大変満足でした。

生き物だけでなく星座も含めてガイドさんの丁寧な説明があり
わかりやすかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was looking for a tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island since I couldn't drive. There was a pick-up service from the hotel in Onna Village, and the tour was very fulfilling and great! Even without a car, I was able to visit various places on a day trip.

車が運転できなかったので、美ら海水族館と古宇利島に行けるツアーを探していました。宿泊していた恩納村のホテルまで送迎があり、内容も充実していてとても良かったです！！車がなくても日帰り観光で色々な場所に行けました。

I was amazed by the stunning views of Kabira Bay. The bus guide's explanation of Ishigaki Island was helpful for sightseeing. The lunch was also delicious.

川平湾の絶景には驚きました。バスガイドさんの石垣島の説明は観光の参考になりました。ランチも美味しかったです。

I participated on the last day of my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed a half-day tour from morning until 2:30 PM. During the mangrove cruise, the guide provided very clear explanations. Since it had just rained, there was a rainbow arching over the green mangroves and blue sky, which was refreshing for the soul.

The water buffalo cart to Yufuin was also a lot of fun, as I learned about the buffalo's stories and the history and culture of Yufuin. I would love to visit again!

旅行最終日に参加しました。朝から昼14:30までの半日観光でたっぷり満喫♪マングローブクルーズではガイドさんがとてもわかりやすく案内してくれました。雨上がりだったので、緑のマングローブと青い空に七色の虹がかかり、心が洗われました。
由布島へ渡る水牛車では、牛さんたちのエピソードや由布島の歴史や文化を知れてとても楽しかったです。
また訪れたいな〜

This price is just too surprising! Everything is so good, I highly recommend it! Dinner was also incredibly delicious!

これでこの値段はおどろきすぎます！
全部よすぎてめちゃくちゃおすすめです！
夜ご飯も美味しすぎました！

I was able to efficiently visit various places and had a great time!

I also enjoyed the long-awaited Churaumi Aquarium, which was wonderful!

Since there isn't much time for American Village, I think it might be better to include other spots that can be enjoyed in a short time instead of forcing it into the plan.

I also had a meal where I could see Ryukyu dance, and both the food and drinks were delicious, making for an enjoyable viewing experience.

It was a fantastic value plan! Thank you very much!

効率よく色々まわっていただけて、とても楽しめました！

念願の美ら海水族館も楽しめて、良かったです！

アメリカンビレッジが、かなり時間がないので、無理にプランに入れずに短時間でも楽しめる他スポットを入れても良いかと思いました。

琉球舞踊のみれる食事もつけていただきましたが、食事もお酒も美味しくて、楽しく鑑賞できました。

コスパの素晴らしいプランでした！
ありがとうございました！

I got caught in a little rain, but I was able to use the GO TO discount, and with that price, including admission to the Churaumi Aquarium, it was more than satisfactory. It was a very satisfying tour that included all the places I wanted to visit.

少し雨に降られましたが、ＧＯＴＯも使えて、あの金額、しかも美ら海水族館の入場も含まれるので申し分ありません。行きたいところが全部入っていたとても満足いくツアーでした。

I had a really fun time during the photo shoot. Unfortunately, it rained on the day of my reservation, but when I checked if it was possible to change to the next day, they responded quickly, and as a result, we were able to shoot safely the following day. Just before the shoot, I was worried that we might not be able to take photos due to sudden weather changes, as it started to rain while we were heading to the location. However, upon arrival, they explained that it would likely clear up, so we decided to wait a bit. As expected, the clouds cleared, and we were able to take wonderful photos. While we waited for the clouds to clear, they chatted with us, and we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this to my acquaintances!

とっても楽しく撮影ができました。予約当日はあいにくの雨で翌日に変更可能か確認したところ、素早くご対応頂き、結果翌日に無事撮影できました。また、撮影直前に急な天候の変化で雨が降ってきて撮影ができないかもしれないと心配しながら撮影場所まで向かいましたが、到着後すぐに説明がありおそらく晴れるから少し待つこととなりました。その後予想通り雲がはけ、素敵な写真を撮って頂きました。雲がはける間、お話などして下さり楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。知り合いにおすすめしたいと思います！

I inquired whether the "designated hotel pick-up" meant they would come to pick me up at my accommodation, and it turned out to be five hotels associated with Jumbo Tours. Fortunately, one of them was just a seven-minute walk from my hotel, so I decided to join the tour.

The itinerary allowed us to efficiently visit the major spots in the northern region that would be difficult to cover in a day on our own, thanks to the guide's advice. In particular, we spent about three hours at the Churaumi Aquarium and even extended our visit to the Tropical Dream Center.

Regarding COVID-19 measures, both the guide and the driver were very considerate, which made me feel quite safe.

Additionally, it was my first time touring while listening to audio guides in eight different languages. Although it may seem rude to the guide, I felt it was better for them to provide supplementary explanations of the timely audio guides rather than repeating the same information each time. Considering the number of foreign travelers, this approach felt appropriate. (Since it was during the pandemic, the GOTO program was only for Japanese people... haha)

『指定ホテル送迎可』は宿泊ホテルに迎えに来てくれるのかと問い合わせしたらジャンボツアーズ社様の関わる５つのホテルでした。幸いに、その一つが宿泊所から徒歩７分の所にありましたので、気を取り直してツアーに参加しました。

内容は、個人では１日ではなかなか回れない北部の主要スポットを、ガイドさんのアドバイスの中で効率よく観光できました。特に、『美ら海水族館』は滞在時間が約3時間！あり、熱帯ドリームセンターまで足を伸ばせました。

コロナ対策については、ガイドさんだけではなく運転手さんも必要以上に配慮されていて大変安心しました。

また、初めて８か国の音声ガイドを聞きながら観光をしましたが、ガイドさんには失礼ですが毎回毎回同じこと喋るよりは、ガイドさんにはその時に旬な音声ガイドの補足を説明していただき、外国の旅行者が多いことを考えるとこれもありと感じました。
（　コロナ禍だったのでGOTOは日本人だけでしたが・・・　笑　）

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for an island-hopping tour! I was able to enjoy various modes of transportation like boats, water buffalo carts, buses, and bicycles! Each experience was short, but that's understandable! It was a bit hectic, but I had a great time! The staff were all polite and friendly, which made it very pleasant! Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島だったので、離島巡りをしたくて申し込みました！
船、水牛車、バス、自転車といろいろ乗れて満喫できました！
それぞれの時間は短いですけど仕方ないですね！
せわしなかったけど満喫できました！
スタッフの方も皆さん丁寧で愛想良く気持ちよかったです！
ありがとうございました！

You can easily take a tour around Kururi. The glass boat, which is available for an additional fee, was a bit cheaper at 900 yen. You can also get off at the airport, so it seems like a good option to use on the last day of your trip. The guide shared not only information about tourist spots but also various interesting things about Ishigaki Island, allowing us to learn a lot.

手軽にくるり周遊できます。別料金のグラスボートは少しお安くなって900円でした。空港で下車することもできるので、旅行の最終日に利用するのも良さそう。ガイドさんは観光地だけでなく石垣島のあんなことやこんなことをお話してくださったので、色々なことを知ることができました。

This tour is perfect for the last day as you can leave your luggage on the bus, making it possible to drop off at the airport. They implemented COVID-19 measures such as alcohol disinfection and seat arrangements every time you board. Previously, I participated in tours to Ontake and Okinawa World, so this time I chose the Valley of Gangala. It was disappointing that we couldn't enter the back of the triangular rock at Ontake, but we were able to take our time exploring. The Valley of Gangala had other tour participants, and we were around 20 people with our guide. They provide insect repellent gel, but I still got bitten, so I think it's better to ask for extra! The highlight was the impressive banyan tree.

バスて荷物を預かってもらえるので、空港降車も可能なこのツアーは最終日に最適。乗車時に毎回アルコール消毒、席配置などコロナ対策もされてました。以前、御嶽とおきなわワールドのツアーに参加したので、今回はガンガラーの谷を選択。御嶽は三角岩の奥には入れず残念でしたがその分ゆっくりと回れました。ガンガラーの谷は、他のツアーの方もいて、20人弱でガイドさんとともにまわりました。虫除けジェルを支給してくれますがそれでも虫に噛まれたので、多めにおかわり⁉︎した方がよいと思います。ポイントのガジュマルは、圧巻でした。

The Valley of Gangala was very fulfilling and enjoyable. It was pouring rain, but the introduction of a 100 yen raincoat was a lifesaver. I wish the bus guide had sold them before we went to the Sefa Utaki.

ガンガラーの谷はとても充実していて、楽しかったです。大雨でしたが、100円のレインコートの紹介もあり、助かりました。できれば斎場御嶽に行く前に、バスのガイドさんに販売してほしかったと思います。

It was fun. Thanks to the guide's thorough explanations, I was able to enjoy the nature of Iriomote Island. The weather was also favorable, making it a perfect day. Next, I want to go snorkeling.

楽しかったです。
ガイドさんの丁寧な説明のおかげで、西表島の自然を楽しめました。
天気にも恵まれ、最高の1日でした。
つぎはシュノーケリングがしたいです。

We were blessed with good weather, and the veteran guide's stories, including the changes in Okinawa, were very well done. The sandwiches were delicious as well. It was a very fulfilling day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

天候に恵まれ、ベテランガイドさんのお話が（沖縄の移り変わり等も入れて....)とてもお上手でした。
サンドウィッチも美味しく頂きました♪。
とても充実した1日観光でした。
有難う御座いました。

The local tour company organizing this tour manages the entire vessel, so you won't be mixed with general passengers, and there's no chance of getting lost along the way. The tour progresses smoothly like a conveyor belt, allowing you to see everything efficiently. The guide on Iriomote Island is also very experienced. On the day of my participation, the wind was strong and the weather was a bit poor, so we didn't stay long on Taketomi Island and quickly wrapped up our cycling. However, if you plan to go to the beach with star sand, it's better to allow at least an hour of extra time. The path is made of sand and small stones, making it difficult to ride quickly. Participants varied from solo travelers to families.

このツアーを主催している地元ツアー会社が運航船を丸ごと管理しているので一般客と混載することがなく、途中で迷うこともありません。流れ作業のようにどんどん進みますが、効率的に見て回れます。西表島のガイドさんも手馴れています。参加日は風が強く少々天候が悪かったので竹富島ではあまり長居せずにサイクリングも早々に引き上げて帰りましたが、星の砂のビーチまで行くなら、1時間以上は時間の余裕をみた方がいいです。砂と小石の道なので走行しにくく、スピードは出せません。参加者は、ひとりから家族連れまでさまざまでした。

It was my first time visiting an outlying island. Although it was a quick visit, I was satisfied with my experience on the island. I think it was a great opportunity to scout for a future trip where I can take my time on a favorite island. However, I was quite anxious during the bus ride because one of the children in the same tour group kept coughing. I felt anger towards the parents traveling with a child who was coughing so much at this time of year. While it might not bother them if it were their own child, for others, it is nothing but a source of fear.

初めての離島。駆け足ではありましたがその島を堪能できて満足でした。気に入った島に次回はゆっきりでかける為の下見としてとても良いと思います。ただ同じツアー参加者のお子さんがずっと咳をしていてソレが気になってバスの中では不安な気持ちでいっぱいでした。この時期のこんなに咳をする子供を連れて旅をする親御さんに怒りを覚えました。自分の子供なら気にならないかもしれませんが他人にとっては恐怖でしかありません。

Both the driver and the guide provided excellent hospitality, and the COVID-19 measures were thorough, allowing us to feel safe throughout our experience.

運転手さん、ガイドさんともにホスピタリティが素晴らしく、コロナ対策もばっちりで安心して過ごせました。

I had a great time leisurely exploring on a water buffalo cart. It was nice to hear the guide's stories as well. Since you can make good use of the free time, I think it's a great tour.

水牛車でのんびりと散策でき、楽しかったです。
ガイドの方のお話も聞くことができ、よかったです。フリータイムも有効に活用ができるので、良いツアーだと思います。

I had a great time seeing various creatures, such as coconut crabs, bats, owls, and many hermit crabs. The weather was nice on the day, and I was able to see the stars beautifully, which made me very satisfied. I highly recommend it.

色々な生物が見られて楽しかったです。ヤシガニ、コウモリ、フクロウ、たくさんのヤドカリ、など。
当日は天気も良く、星を綺麗に見ることもでき、大変満足でした。
おすすめです。

The tour to Barasu Island was canceled due to the typhoon (I received a call the day before), but I was refunded the difference.

Two staff members accompanied us, and both were very entertaining, making the experience a lot of fun! They shared various interesting facts about plants and mangroves, making it a very enjoyable tour. They even took the initiative to get under the waterfall, which gave us the courage to do the same! They took a lot of photos (over 100), making it a memorable tour!

I would like to rely on them again when I visit Ishigaki Island or Iriomote Island. Thank you very much!

台風の影響でバラス島のツアーは中止になってしまいましたが(前日に電話をいただきました)、差額は返金していただけました。

スタッフの方が2人ついてくださったのですが、2人とも面白い方達で、すごく楽しませていただきました！植物の事やマングローブの事など、色々な豆知識も教えてくださり、とても楽しいツアーでした。滝にも率先して打たれてくださり、自分達も滝に打たれる勇気が出ました笑　写真もずっと撮ってくださり(100枚越え)、とても思い出になるツアーでした！

また石垣島や西表島に行く際はお世話になりたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

You can visit the famous spots in the northern region in one day. The aquarium is spacious, so three hours was a good amount of time. The emerald green sea is refreshing and definitely worth seeing. I would love to go again.

北部の名所を一日で観光できます。水族館は広いので３時間設定でよかったです。エメラルドグリーンの海は爽快で見ごたえ十分。ぜひまた行きたい。

I applied to take wedding photos.
The meeting place was a bit hard to find, so even the taxi driver got lost.
The starry sky was so beautiful that I could see shooting stars, and I could have stared at it forever.
The stars were beautifully captured in the photos, and I'm really glad I applied!!

ウェディングフォトを撮りたくて申込みました
集合場所が少しわかりづらかったので、タクシーの運転手さんでも迷ってしまいました。
星空は流れ星が見えるくらいきれいでいつまでも眺めていたくらいでした。
写真にもきれいに星が映っていて申し込んでよかったです！！

On the day of the activity, the weather was bad with strong winds and cloudy skies, and the sea currents were fast, but we went ahead with it. However, due to the swift currents, we were able to see sea turtles swimming more than usual, and I was able to take many great photos. I think we saw about three sea turtles. They were so cute and it was moving. I'm looking forward to receiving the data. Our guide, Kometchi, was friendly and very nice. He shared many recommendations for spots in Miyako Island. I would like to ask for Kometchi's help again when I do activities in Miyako Island!

当日は風が強く曇り空で海の流れも早くて悪天候でしたが、決行。ですが、海の流れの速さもあり、いつも以上にウミガメが泳いでくれていい写真を沢山撮っていただきました。ウミガメは3匹くらい見れたと思います。可愛くて感動しました。データが届くのが楽しみです。ガイドのこめっちさんが気さくで、とても良かったです。宮古島のオススメスポットをたくさん教えていただきました。また宮古島でアクティビティするときはこめっちさんにお願いしたいです！
