All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was my first time on Iriomote Island.
SUP in the mangroves and snorkeling in the beautiful sea were extraordinary and very enjoyable.
The staff were cheerful and energetic, which made it even more fun.
I would like to come again.
Thank you very much.

初めての西表島でした。
マングローブでのSUP・綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングは非日常的で、とても楽しかったです。
スタッフの方も明るく元気で楽しめました。
また来たいと思います。
有難うございました。

It was a perfect night for a tour, and I had a great time with a friendly guide exploring Sagari-bana and searching for creatures, as well as stargazing. I learned many interesting facts about Iriomote Island, which made me love it even more. Being able to observe the Neowise comet at the beach was also an unforgettable memory.

絶好のナイトツアー日和の中、
親切なガイドさんとサガリバナや生き物探し、星空鑑賞と盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。
西表島に関する豆知識もたくさん教えてもらい、ますます好きになりました。
ビーチにてネオワイズ彗星が運良く観測できたのも最高の思い出です。

We went as a family of three! The mangrove canoeing, limestone cave trekking, and Barasu Island were all more breathtaking and moving than we imagined. The tour guide was incredibly kind and easy to talk to. Our 7-year-old child was excited and enjoyed the adventure! If you go to Iriomote Island, this is definitely a must-do! I also hope to bring my mother next time. Thank you very much!

家族3人でいきました！マングローブカヌー＋鍾乳洞トレッキング＋バ ラス島どれも想像以上の絶景と感動でしたツアーのガイドさんもすごく親切で話しやすかったです✨7歳の子供も冒険気分でワクワクしながら楽しんでました❤️西表島に行ったら絶対行くべきです✨また次は母も連れていきたいなぁと思います(^^)ありがとうございました✨

The guide was really interesting and fun. I encountered many creatures I had never seen before, and I even came across a snake. Above all, the starry sky was so beautiful that it felt like a dream, and I didn't want to go home...

ガイドのお兄ちゃん、すごく面白く楽しかったです。
今までみたことの生き物と続々と出会い、ハブにも遭遇しました。
そして、何よりも星空がキレイすぎで、夢みたい
、帰りたくはなかったです。。。

I was able to enjoy a packed itinerary efficiently. My 65-year-old parents also participated, and our guide, Komatsu, was very kind in explaining and supporting us, so there were no issues at all! I made the reservation just after 7 PM the day before, but they handled it smoothly, which was really great!

盛り沢山の内容を効率よく楽しむことができました＾＾今回65歳の父母も参加しましたが、ガイドの小松さんがとても親切に説明&サポートしてくださり全く問題なかったです！前日の19時過ぎに予約しましたが、スムーズに対応していただけて本当に良かったです！

We participated with two children and four people in total. The night safari was an exciting adventure. The guides were very kind and supportive to the children, helping us find many creatures, and we encountered more animals than we expected. They provided detailed explanations about the creatures, Ishigaki Island, and the starry sky. It was nice to have a more intimate and private feel compared to larger tours. The starry sky and shooting stars were a lucky treat, and they also taught us about many constellations. We were even shown a beautiful night view, making it a memorable tour. Thank you so much for everything!

子供2人と4名で参加させていただきました。
ナイトサファリはドキドキの冒険でした。
子供達にも優しくサポートして下さり、生き物を2人のガイドさんでよくよく探してくれて、思ったよりたくさんの生き物に出会えました。
生き物や石垣島の説明や星空の説明もとても詳しく教えてくれました。大人数のツアーよりアットホームでプライベート感もあって良かったです。
満点の星空と流れ星はラッキーでしたが、たくさんの星座も教えて下さり、おまけの夜景も見せていただき心に残るツアーになりました。本当にお世話になりました！！

Thank you for accommodating us despite the last-minute reservation! The mangrove SUP was fantastic, with the guide's thorough explanations about various creatures, plants, and the unique species of Iriomote Island.

During the afternoon snorkeling at Barasu Island, we were blessed with great weather and enjoyed observing various fish species, including Nemo (clownfish), in the highly transparent coral reefs.

For those who will be participating, I highly recommend both activities when visiting Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island! It's enjoyable for couples, seniors, and families with children. Also, it's best to bring minimal luggage! The guide will take plenty of photos, and being light on your feet makes the experience even more enjoyable.

I look forward to the next opportunity!

前日の予約なのに対応していただきましてありがとうございました！
マングローブSUPでは、色んな生き物や植物、西表島の固有種等、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明が非常に良かったです。
午後のバラス島のシュノーケリングでは、天候にも恵まれ、かなり透明度の高いサンゴ礁でニモ(クマノミ)からさまざまな魚種観察を満喫できました。
これから参加される方へ。どちらのアクティビティも石垣島・西表島にいらした際にはかなりオススメです！カップルもシニアもお子様連れも皆さんで楽しめます。あと荷物は最低限がいいですよ！写真はガイドさんがたっぷりと撮っていただけますし、何より身軽な方が楽しめます。

また機会があるとき宜しくお願い致します！

I happened to make a reservation on the day of the new moon, and I was a bit nervous walking down the dark path on the first day in Kinomiya. However, thanks to the Google Maps link you sent via email at the time of booking, I arrived safely at the location. It was a day with some clouds, but I managed to take photos at the right moment. The data was sent to me the very next day. The photos were wonderful. Thank you!

たまたま新月の日に予約となり、来宮古初日に暗い道でドキドキしましたが、予約時にメールで送っていただいたGoogleマップのおかげで、無事に現地へ到着しました。多少の雲がある日でしたが、タイミングを見て撮影しました。翌日にすぐ、データが送られてきました。素敵な写真でした。ありがとうございました！

I've been here many times, but this time, our guide Daiki made it an incredibly fun experience. Thank you, Daiki! I look forward to seeing you again when I visit Iriomote Island!

ここは何度も来てますが、今回はガイドのダイキさんが盛り上げてくれて最高に楽しい時間でした。ダイキさんありがとう！
また、西表島行った時は宜しくです！

It was just as I expected, so much fun!＼(^0^)／
Our guide, Komatsu!!!
Despite being young, he had a wealth of knowledge and provided detailed explanations about plants and animals.♡
Not only did he guide us, but he also made sure to keep everyone engaged and took plenty of photos, which made me very satisfied!
I understand now why there are such good reviews.♡
Thank you so much!★彡

Due to personal circumstances, I had to leave during the last cave visit, but the afternoon guide (sorry, I don't remember the name) took us to a really delicious pineapple shop to pass the time until our boat departure, and I am truly grateful for that.(^^)

思っていた通りとぉ〜ても楽しかったです＼(^0^)／
ガイドの小松さん!!!
若いのにいろんな知識があって、植物のことや生き物について細かく説明してくれました♡
ただ案内するだけではなく、きちんとみんなの気配りしながら楽しませてくれたり、写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足です！
口コミのいい理由がわかりました♡
本当にありがとうございます★彡

個人的な都合で最後の鍾乳洞だけ離脱してしまいましたが、午後のガイドさん(すみません、名前はわかりません)も船の時間まで時間を潰すために、とっても美味しいパイナップル屋さんに連れて行ってくれ本当に感謝です(^^)

I participated in a popular tour that covers tourist spots in the northern region. There are often cases where the distance from the parking lot to the facilities is considerable, so it's necessary to take measures against the heat.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dolphin shows and manatee learning experiences at the Churaumi Aquarium have been canceled, and the shows at Ryukyu Village were shortened in both time and content, so I recommend checking their website in advance.

However, all facilities have implemented thorough infection prevention measures, including temperature checks and alcohol disinfection (including awamori disinfection) upon entry, and we were able to enjoy sightseeing and meals while maintaining social distance. The buses also ensured disinfection upon boarding, which made me feel safe participating.

北部の観光地を網羅している人気のツアーに参加しました。駐車場から施設までの距離があったりするケースが多く暑さ対策必要です。
コロナ禍で美ら海水族館のイルカショーやマナティ学習体験などは中止されており、琉球村のショーは時間も内容も短縮されていたので、事前にHPで確認するのをお勧めします。
ただどの施設も感染予防対策が徹底されており、入館時は検温、アルコール消毒(泡盛消毒も)あり、ソーシャルディスタンスで見学や食事を楽しむことが出来ました。バスも乗車時にも必ず消毒していたので安心して参加出来ました。

I was worried about my feet when it rained, but I had a great time! The explanations were very interesting and engaging! The sanpincha was also appreciated!

雨が降ると足元が心配ですが、とても楽しかった！説明もとても興味深く聞き応えがありました！さんぴんちゃも有り難かったです！

The sea was beautiful, and the whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were impressive and great. The tour guide was also entertaining.

海もキレイだったし、美ら海水族館のジンベエサメも迫力があって良かったです。
添乗員の方も面白かったです。

I paddled through the mangroves on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP). As a beginner, I learned how to use the SUP and some tips, and it was challenging yet very enjoyable to avoid trees and navigate the winding shallow river. The scenery along the way was also wonderful. There was a rain shower, and I got soaked, but it was a great experience that felt very much like Iriomote Island. The view of the waterfall was stunning as well. Since I got completely drenched, I thought a waterproof camera or phone would be necessary.

I didn't go snorkeling at Barasu Island, but I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming from the boat! The limestone cave was more rugged than I expected and very impressive. It had a completely different atmosphere compared to the caves I've visited before. It was a valuable experience.

I also took many beautiful photos, which became great memories! Thank you very much.

マングローブはSUPで漕ぎ進めながら行きました。初心者の私はSUPのやり方やコツを教わり木を避けたりくねくねした浅瀬の川コントロールするのが難しくもありとても楽しかったです。道中の風景も素晴らしかったです。スコールもあり、途中びしょびしょになりましたがまたそれも西表島らしく良い経験でした。滝の景色も素晴らしいです。全身びしょ濡れになるので、防水仕様のカメラや携帯が必要だと思いました。バラス島はシュノーケル しませんでしたが、たまたま船上から海ガメが泳いでる姿が見えてとてもラッキーでした！
鍾乳洞は思ってたより道が険しくて、迫力満点でした。今まで行った観光地の鍾乳洞と全然違う雰囲気です。貴重な体験できました。
綺麗な写真もたくさん撮っていただき良い思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました。

I was able to fully experience the great nature of Iriomote Island! The mangroves, the incredibly clear sea, the limestone caves, and jungle exploration were all extraordinary and fun! It was my first time doing SAP, but I got used to it quickly. I wasn't confident in my physical strength, but I appreciate that you matched my pace!

西表島の大自然を充分に体感できました！
マングローブでのSAP、透明度抜群の海、鍾乳洞、ジャングル探検、どれも非日常で楽しかったです！SAPは初めてでしだか、すぐに慣れました。体力に自信がなかったのですが、ペースを合わせて頂き感謝です！

The guide was very kind, and perhaps due to luck, we encountered a total of four coconut crabs, a habu snake, and various insects and frogs whose names I forgot. Once we got to the beach, it was truly a "starry sky"; we could even see which direction the Milky Way was in, and the Big Dipper was clearly visible. Everything was condensed into a short amount of time, so I highly recommend it for a short stay.

ガイドさんもとても親切かつ運もよかったせいか合計4匹のヤシガニ、ハブ、名前は忘れましたが様々な虫やカエル等に遭遇できました。
ビーチに出てからはまさに「満天の星」、天の川がどの方向にあるかも確認できたし北斗七星もはっきり見えました。短い時間にグッと諸々凝縮されているので短期間滞在にはとてもおすすめ。

To fulfill my mother's wish to visit Okinawa, I invited my daughter, and we ended up traveling together as a trio. Since my mother had knee surgery and has difficulty walking, we requested a sightseeing taxi to pick us up at the airport. It was incredibly convenient, and we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see, including delicious restaurants and the Blue Seal ice cream shop. It was great! Since we managed to visit everything on the first day, we could relax at the hotel on the second and third days, which allowed us to show our appreciation to our parents. Thank you so much to the kind driver!

一度沖縄に行ってみたいという母の願いを叶える為娘も誘って三人で旅行することになりました。両膝の手術をして足が悪いため行きに空港お迎えの観光タクシーをお願いしました。すっごく楽で行きたい所見たい所全部廻れて美味しい食堂もブルーシールのアイス屋さんも連れてってくれて、良かったです。初日に全部廻れたので、2日目3日目とホテルで、ゆっくりできて、親孝行できました。親切な運転手さんで本当にありがとうございました

Due to heavy rain, we couldn't enter Shurijo Castle, which we arrived at by 9:00. As a result, we got to Okinawa World early and were able to enjoy the Eisa show starting at 10:30, as well as various experiences like the cave exploration and dressing up! Even if you can visit Shurijo Castle, I recommend watching the Eisa show first at Okinawa World before the cave exploration!

大雨で9:00に着いた斎場御嶽は入場出来ませんでした。そのためおきなわワールドに早く着きましたが10:30からのエイサーショーも見られて玉泉洞も着付け体験も色々楽しめました❗️斎場御嶽に行けてもおきなわワールドでは鍾乳洞よりエイサーショーを先に見るのをオススメします❗️

I participated in the night safari and stargazing. I honestly didn't have high expectations for the night safari, but thanks to our guide, Christian, who is a great person, we were able to see 5 or 6 coconut crabs! I can't believe we actually got to see them!

As for the stargazing, there were so many stars that I didn't even know where to look; it felt like I was being drawn in.

If I had to suggest an improvement, it would be that I wished there were blankets to lie on the sand while stargazing (even though it’s a beach, lying directly on the sand at night is a bit much...). I would also appreciate learning more about the constellations.

That said, I really enjoyed myself and would definitely like to participate again next time.

ナイトサファリと星空鑑賞に参加しました。
ナイトサファリは、正直あまり期待していませんでしたが、ガイドのクリチャンの日頃の行いがいいお蔭で、5匹？6匹？のヤシガニを見ることができました‼️ 本当に見れるなんて‼️
星空は、どこを見ていいのか、分からないくらい、沢山の星があり、すいこまれるようでした。
改善点をあえていうならば、砂浜での星空鑑賞で、寝そべって見るためのブランケットがほしかったです。(砂浜とはいえ、夜そのまま寝そべるのはちょっと…。）星座のこともお勉強いただけるとありがたいです。
とはいえ、楽しませていただきました。次に行くときも、ぜひ、参加したいです。

During my first visit to Miyako Island, I was truly blessed with beautiful weather and stunning starry skies. Mr. Hanada, who took the photos, was very kind and introduced me to recommended spots on Miyako Island, making it a wonderful trip! Thank you!

初めての宮古島で、本当に天気に恵まれて綺麗な星空が見れました。撮影頂いた花田さんはとても親切で、宮古島のおすすめスポットを紹介して頂き良い旅行になりました！ありがとうございました！

I only went to courses that included the Churaumi Aquarium...
I plan to buy souvenirs on the last day of the trip or at the airport...
I didn't intend to shop, so I had a plan without lunch, but I decided to order lunch at the last minute.
It would be nice if there were courses that go to less mainstream, hidden spots.

美ら海水族館に行くコースばっかり…
お土産は旅行の最後の日か空港で買うから…
買い物する気が無かったので昼食無しのプランだったが､急遽昼食を頼むことにした。
もっとメジャーでは無く穴場的な所に行くコースがあればいい。

I received a call the day before to confirm the vehicle arrangement. On the day of the ride, they were ready before the scheduled time, and we started on time. On the way back, it was fine even if we went slightly over the scheduled time without any additional charges. They drove according to my preferences, and I was satisfied. They also took proper COVID-19 precautions, such as displaying the driver's temperature and having a transparent sheet between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. I felt safe during the ride!

前日に電話で連絡があり、配車確認。
当日は予定時間前にスタンバイしてくれて、スタート。
帰りは予定時間を少し超過しても追加なしでOKでした。
こちらの希望通りに車を走らせてくれて、満足です。
コロナ対策もしっかり。運転手さんの体温表示や、運転席と客席の間に透明シートなど。安心して乗車できました！

The guide was very kind. I am a foreigner, and I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. I also received souvenirs, and it was a really enjoyable trip.

ガイドさん　優しかったです。私は外国人なんですが、お気遣い本当にありがとうございました。お土産もいただいてますし、すごく楽しい旅行でした。

It's difficult to get around without a car. I participated with the aim of visiting Cape Hedo and Daichi Shurin. Both places have stunning views, but it's a shame that the time spent there was short. On the way back, if you get caught in traffic, it can take quite a while to return to Naha. If you participate on your last day in Okinawa, you might miss your flight.

車が無いと行き辛い、辺戸岬、大石林山を目当てに参加しました。
両方とも景色が素晴らしいのに、所要時間が短いのが残念でした。
帰りは渋滞にはまると、那覇への帰りが相当遅くなることもあるみたいです。
沖縄最終日に参加する場合は、飛行機に間に合わなくなってしまうかも？

During the seated photo shoot, they provided a small cushion, so my bottom didn't hurt! Haha. They also kindly shared recommendations for spots in Miyako Island. I'm looking forward to the photos!

座っての撮影の際
小さなクッションを用意してくださっていて
お尻が痛くなくてすみました！笑
宮古島のオススメスポットも教えていただき
親切に対応していただきました。
写真楽しみにしてます！

I participated with my 2-year-old child. The weather was great that day, and the sky was filled with stars all the way to the horizon, with the Milky Way visible—it was absolutely beautiful. It was my first time visiting Miyako Island, and the location was somewhere you couldn't reach without guidance, so I was glad to join the tour. I was worried about whether my child would stay still for a while to take photos, but they kindly encouraged us, and we managed to get some great shots! They also shared recommended spots in Miyako Island, and I fell in love with the place.

2歳の子連れで参加しました。
当日は天候に恵まれたこともあり、地平線近くまで一面星空で、天の川も見えてとっても綺麗でした。宮古島に来るの初めてで、知らないと辿り着けない場所にあったので、ツアーに参加して良かったです。子供がしばらく動かないで撮影できるか心配でしたが、優しくお声がけもしてもらって、ちゃんと撮れました！
おすすめの宮古島のスポットも教えていただいて、宮古島が好きになりました。

SUP surrounded by mangroves was amazing!
The snorkeling around Baras Island was also fantastic, with high water clarity and a great sense of openness!
Next time, I want to come back and hopefully see some sea turtles.

It was so much fun spending time with our guide, who was the same age as us, and we had a great time together!

マングローブに囲まれながらのSUP最高！
バラス島周辺でのシュノーケルも、海の透明度が高くて開放感バツグン！
次回はウミガメ見れるようにリベンジしたいですなぁ。

ガイドさんが同世代で終始和気あいあいと過ごせてめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

Since it's a tourist spot, I underestimated it and participated in heel sandals, but it turned out to be more of an adventure than I expected. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had worn shoes that were less slippery and easier to walk in. Everything else was great!

観光スポットなので、甘くみてヒールのサンダルで参加してしまいましたが、思った以上にアドベンチャーでした。滑りずらく歩き安い靴を履いていたら、更に楽しめたと思います。それ以外は最高でしたした！

As a beginner in stand-up paddleboarding, I received clear instructions and guidance. It felt wonderful to leisurely glide through the calm mangrove forest. The guide also provided explanations about the plants along the way, which made the experience very enjoyable.

During snorkeling, I was able to fully appreciate the beautiful underwater world of the coral reefs. Although the sandbars were submerged, I was glad I managed to make it ashore. I was moved by the endless horizon.

The guide took many great photos and sent them to me right away. I'm really glad I participated in this tour!

SUP初心者でしたが分かりやすく指導してもらえました。穏やかなマングローブ林の中をゆったりと進んでいくのはとても気持ちがよかったです。ところどころでガイドさんが植物等についての解説もしてくださり、とても楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁がひろがる美しい海中世界を堪能することができました。バラス等は水の中でしたが、なんとか上陸することができてよかったです。見渡す限りの水平線に感動しました。
ガイドさんが写真も上手にたくさん撮ってくれてすぐに送ってくれました。このツアーに参加してよかったです！

The stargazing tour was too bright due to the full moon, so we did a lot of night safaris instead. It was a rare experience to see wild snakes and scorpions, not just in a zoo. They provided thorough explanations regarding safety, and as long as you listen carefully to the guide, you can enjoy it without any issues.

星空ツアーは満月のため明るすぎると言うことで、ナイトサファリを多くやって頂きました。動物園ではなく、野生のハブやサソリが観れたのは貴重な経験でした。安全に対してもしっかり説明して頂けましたし、しっかりガイドさんの話を聞けば問題無く楽しむことができます。
