All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was told that the weather was bad and that we might not be able to take photos, but I waited until we could take them together, and I was able to get some really great pictures. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ありがとうございました！

This was my first time participating in this kind of bus tour, and I had a great time learning various things thanks to the bus guide's extensive knowledge. I got to see the professionalism in their work. Thank you very much.

この手のバスツアーへの参加は初めてでしたが、バスガイドさんの豊富な知識で様々な事を知れて大変楽しめました。プロの仕事ぶりを見せて頂きました。有難うございました。

The Eisa performance at Okinawa World was very powerful and provided a fun time. The limestone cave was quite large and impressive.

Also, since it had just rained, the Sefa Utaki was very slippery, and I walked down the slope quite slowly. They do lend you shoes, but I think it's important to wear shoes that are less slippery.

The guide in the car provided a lot of explanations, and I was really glad to learn things that I wouldn't have known if I had gone on my own.

おきなわワールドのエイサーはとても迫力もあり、楽しい時間でした。鍾乳洞はとても大きく見応えのあるものでした。
また斎場御嶽は雨上がりだったため、とても滑りやすく、帰りの坂はかなりゆっくり歩いてきました。くつも貸してくれますが、しっかり滑りにくい靴をはいて行くのが大切だと思います。
車中ガイドさんがたくさん説明をしてくれて、個人で行くとなかなかわからないことまで知ることができ本当に良かったと思います。

First, there was a mix-up with the meeting place, and we were made to wait longer than scheduled. I naturally thought we would tour Pineapple Park in the pineapple-shaped car shown in the pictures, but due to congestion, despite arriving earlier than planned, we ended up just walking around, which was disappointing.

We spent three hours at the aquarium, watched the dolphin show, and didn't have time to visit other botanical gardens. We saw whale sharks at the aquarium, and since it was Saturday, the souvenir shop was crowded. The bus stop at the meeting place was quite far, so in the end, we didn't have time to buy anything.

Considering the transportation costs, the admission fee is cheap, so I understand that. However, I wish they had reduced the time for lunch at the facility we stopped at (the small sandwiches were not good) and allowed us to eat our bento on the bus instead, so we could have more time at the aquarium.

まず集合場所の取違いがあり、予定時間より待たされました。
パイナップルパークは当然、看板写真にあるパイナップルの車？で巡ると思っていたら、混雑との事で、予定より早めに着いたにもかかわらず、まさかの歩いて回るだけでガッカリ。
水族園で三時間、イルカショーをみて、他の植物園などまわる時間はなく、水族園でジンベイザメなどをみて、土曜日だったこともあり最後お土産やさんも並んでて、集合場所のバス乗り場まで距離があるため、結局買う時間なかったです。
交通費を思えば入場料付きで安いので仕方ないとはいえ、途中で寄った施設でのランチ(小さなサンドイッチ不味いです)の時間を削って、バス内でお弁当を食べるなどにして、水族園の時間を増やしてほしいと思いました。

The place where I had lunch was old, and it had a souvenir shop attached to the cafeteria, but there was a hall with a lot of butterflies, which was uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend that place. Everything else was good. It was easy to travel by bus, I could enjoy the scenery, and the prices were reasonable.

お昼を食べた場所は古く、食堂にお土産屋さんがついてる所だったのですが、そこに蝶がたくさんいる館があったのですが、気持ち悪かったです。あそこはないな～×。そこ以外は良かったです。バスで楽だし、景色も見られるし、値段もお手頃でした。

We participated with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters, along with their grandparents, making it a three-generation experience. Perhaps because we had small children, we were allowed to be in a group just for our family. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, never showing any displeasure even when the kids were noisy or fussy, and they adjusted the pace to suit us. We all had a wonderful time together!

SUP was enjoyable, as we could stand and sit even with the kids! During snorkeling, I couldn't swim, but they pulled me along on a rescue board, which made me feel safe. I was so happy to see baby turtles! I would love to participate again when I come back to the Yaeyama Islands!

5歳・3歳の娘と、祖父・祖母と、3世代で参加させていただきました。
小さい子供がいたからか、家族だけで1グループとしていただき、子供が騒いだり、グズっていても嫌な顔１つもせず、進むスピードも合わせて下さり、とても親切丁寧に対応してくださいました。
家族みんなでとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました！
SUPは子供連れでも立ったり座ったり、楽しかったです！
シュノーケリングでは、泳げない私のためにレスキューボードでずっと引っ張ってくれたので、安心できました。カメの子供に会えて、とっても嬉しかったです！
また八重山諸島へ来たときは、参加したいです！

I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience with SUP, but the instruction was very kind and thorough, and I had a lot of fun. I did fall a little (quite dramatically), but the waterfall was great too.

SUPは、初めての経験で不安だったけれども、とても親切に丁寧に教えていただいて、とても楽しかったです。ちょっと落ちたけれども(豪快に)
滝も良かったです。

I had a great time with my grandchild on the SUP! I couldn't stand up, but I was able to kneel (^^).

SUPで孫を前に乗せて、楽しくできました！
立つことはできなかったけれども、膝立ちはできました(^^)

I was able to see beautiful coral reefs that I had only seen on TV while snorkeling! Luckily, I also got to see a sea turtle, which made for the best memories.

シュノーケリングでは、テレビでしか見たことがないような綺麗なサンゴ礁が見れました！
運良くウミガメも見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。

I booked a round-trip ticket plus a water buffalo cart plan. It's more economical than purchasing them separately! After riding the water buffalo cart, there was free time, and the return time was just right.

往復乗車券＋水牛車のプランを申し込みました。別々に購入するよりお得です！
水牛車に乗った後は自由時間があり、帰りの時間もちょうど良かったです。

This time, I went canoeing and to Baras Island in the morning, and explored a cave in the afternoon. The guide introduced us to many best spots and took a lot of photos for us! By the way, the food (vegetable soba) next to the office was surprisingly delicious, so definitely try it. Haha!

今回は午前中にカヌー&バラス島、午後に鍾乳洞探索に行ってきました。
ガイドの方にたくさんベストスポットを紹介頂き、写真もたくさん取って頂きました！！
ちなみに事務所の隣のご飯(野菜そば)が、地味に美味しかったので、ぜひ。笑

We were just lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy all the tours! The guide provided various topics to discuss, making the tour enjoyable. We also took a lot of photos, creating great memories.

ギリギリ天気に恵まれすべてのツアーを楽しむことができました！
ガイドさんもいろんな話題を提供してくれツアー中楽しめました。写真もいっぱい撮ってくれていい思い出ができました。

I had a very meaningful time experiencing things I had never done before in one day, such as visiting a limestone cave, Balas Island, canoeing in the mangroves, and trekking! It was so much fun! Thank you very much.

鍾乳洞、バラス島、マングローブでのカヌー、トレッキングと今まで体験したことなかったことを1日で体験でき非常に有意義な時間を過ごせました！とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました。

It was so dark that I was anxious about whether I could reach the shooting location, but it turned into such an amazing memory that it blew all that worry away! Even someone like me, an amateur, couldn't capture such beautiful shots; it really made me realize how different professionals are.

They will send you the shooting data via LINE or email. They also shared recommended spots and hidden gems in Miyako Island, which was very helpful for travelers!

暗すぎて撮影場所までたどり着けるかヒヤヒヤしましたが、そんなの吹き飛ばしてしまうくらい最高な思い出になりました！私のような素人が撮ってもあんな綺麗に写らないもんなぁ、やっぱプロはちがうなぁって実感。

撮影データはLINEかメールで受け渡してくれます。宮古島のオススメスポットや穴場スポットを教えてくれて旅行者にとってはとてもありがたかったです！

The guide was very polite and it was really great! The coral from Balas Island is a memorable souvenir! It was a day of complete satisfaction!

ガイドさんも丁寧ですごくよかったです！
バラス島のサンゴは思い出のおみやげです！大満足の一日でした！

We participated as a family of four (two adults, a 3-year-old, and an 8-month-old). Due to weather conditions, we changed our schedule to one day earlier at the last minute, but they handled everything, including transportation to the hotel, very well.

It was our first time exploring the remote islands, and we truly enjoyed the mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, and the sightseeing spots on Taketomi Island while cycling.

Our 3-year-old especially loved the water buffalo on Yubu Island, enjoying the experience of holding the reins, feeding them, and touching them (for a fee of 500 yen). Additionally, even though it was a full day plan starting early in the morning, our 8-month-old managed just fine.

If given the opportunity, I would love to use this service with my family again.

家族4人（夫婦＋3歳＋0歳8ヶ月）で参加しました。
天候の関係で直前に1日前倒しの日程に変更してもらいましたが、ホテルまでの送迎も含めてしっかりと対応をいただきました。

はじめての離島巡りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛、竹富島のレンタサイクルでの観光スポット巡りなど本当に楽しめました。

特に3歳の子供は由布島での水牛が気に入ったらしく、水牛の手綱を引いたり、餌をあげたり、タッチをしたりするふれあい体験が楽しかったそうです。（有料500円）
また、朝早くからの1日がかりのプランでしたが、0歳8ヶ月の子供も問題なく乗り切れました
♩

機会があればまた家族で利用したいと思います。

I was able to visit popular spots like the Churaumi Aquarium in just one day, and I was very satisfied. My top recommendation is the bus guide. Not only does she provide information about the tourist attractions, but she also shares various stories about Okinawa's past and present. She is great at storytelling and singing, and her pleasant demeanor made it the best memory of my trip.

美ら海水族館などの人気のスポットを、1日でまわることが出来て、大満足です。
一番のおススメは、バスガイドさんです。観光地の案内だけでなく、沖縄の今、昔のいろいろなお話をしてくれます。お話も歌も上手で感じも良くて、旅の一番の思い出になりました。

In the Valley of Gangala, you walk through nature and hear explanations about how ancient locals lived in that area. It was a very interesting story, and I had a great time spending half a day there.

ガンガラーの谷は自然の中を歩いて大昔の現地の人が、その場所で生活していた状況などの説明を聞きます。とても興味深い話で楽しく半日過ごせました。

I have participated in this tour several times, and I think it’s very worthwhile because it’s efficient and inexpensive. Since Sefa Utaki is on a mountain path, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes instead of sandals. Women especially need to be careful, as it can be quite difficult if it rains. At the Valley of Gangala, the guide provided detailed explanations, and it was really fun. Although it rained like a typhoon, the rain made the trees and leaves vibrant and beautiful. Since Okinawa has sudden rain showers, I think it’s better to prepare for the possibility of rain. I want to go again.

こちらのツアーには何度か参加していますが、効率も良く安いので大変お得だと思います。斎場御嶽は山道なので、サンダル等ではなく歩きやすい靴で行くのが良いと思います。特に女性は気をつけないと雨が降ったら大変です。ガンガラーの谷はガイドさんが詳しく説明してくれて、すごく楽しかったです。台風みたいな雨だったのですが、雨のおかげで木や葉っぱが生き生きしてきれいでした。沖縄はスコールがあるので、雨が降るかもしれないと準備して行ったほうが良いと思います。また行きたいです。

I was grateful that they came to pick me up at the hotel. After driving for a while from the city, we took a dark road with no people. Once we passed through a narrow jungle path, we arrived at the local exploration site! We searched for wildlife along the rocky coastline. Unlike during the day, the tranquility and the sound of the waves were pleasant. Then, we discovered a coconut crab! Its purple shell was mysterious! After exploring the coast, we moved to a spot for stargazing. Although the moonlight was a bit bright, the sky was filled with stars welcoming us. Fortunately, we even saw a shooting star. I was able to spend a happy time.

ホテルまで迎えに来ていただけるので助かりました 市街地からしばらく走ると、人気のない真っ暗な道を行きます。ジャングルの細道を抜けると、現地探索場所に到着‼️ 海沿いの岩場で野生の生物を捜索。昼間とは違い、静寂の中、波音が心地よかった すると、ヤシガニを発見‼️ 紫色に光った殻が神秘的❗️海岸探索を後にして、星空探索の場所に移動。月明かりが少し明るかったけど、満天の星が出迎えてくれました。そこへ幸運にも、流れ星が。幸せな時間を過ごすことができました

I thoroughly enjoyed the night in Ishigaki Island. We set off at 8 PM and ran through the darkness, which felt mysterious. The atmosphere along the coastline at night was different from during the day, and we encountered a coconut crab and a hermit crab that can only be seen at night. After that, we went to an observatory with a great view, where the moonlight was a bit bright, but the starry sky was magnificent. My husband and daughter were thrilled to see shooting stars. Listening to the sound of owls, the night view was beautiful as well.

石垣島の夜を満喫しました
夜８時に出発し、真っ暗な中を走りミステリー
夜の海岸には昼間と違う雰囲気で、夜しか見られないやしがに、ヤドカリと出逢えました
その後見晴らしの良い天文台に行くとちょっと月明かりが明るめながら満天の星空
主人と娘は流れ星も見れ大感激
フクロウの鳴き声をききながら、夜景も綺麗でした

They provide transportation to the hotel! The guides kept the atmosphere lively in the car and gave various explanations during the tour, making it a lot of fun. I was able to see rare island hermit crabs, which was a wonderful experience!

ホテルまで送迎をしてくれます！車内でもガイドの方々が盛り上げてくださったり、ツアー中も様々な説明をしてくださるので、とても楽しかったです。レアな島のヤドカリを見ることができ、とても良い経験ななりました！

I thoroughly enjoyed places like the Chinese Grave, Kabira Bay, and the native palm forest without getting bored. At Kabira Bay, those who wished could ride a glass-bottom boat to see the coral reefs and beautiful fish. What impressed me the most was when our guide took out a sanshin and sang Okinawan folk songs during the scenic drive near the last dam. I was moved as he sang three songs.

唐人墓、川平湾、ヤシの木原生林など、飽きることなく楽しめました。
川平湾では希望者はグラスボートにのってサンゴ礁やきれいな魚をみれて楽しめました。
私が一番印象に残り良かったと思ったのは、ガイドさんが最後のダムの車窓観光あたりから三線を持ち、沖縄民謡を歌って下さったことです。３曲も歌って下さり感動しました。

Since high waves were expected, I went snorkeling near Barasu Island in the morning. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves of Iriomote Island. I was thrilled to see schools of fish that I had never seen before while snorkeling. The mangrove tour in the afternoon allowed me to feel the great outdoors, and I really enjoyed it. The tour instructor was also very kind, making for a very satisfying trip!

波が高いと予想されていたので、午前中にバラス島近辺でシュノーケリング。
午後は西表島のマングローブでSUP
シュノーケリングでは見たことのない魚たちの群れを見ることができて大感激でした。
午後のマングローブツアーでは大自然を感じることができ、とてもENJOYできました。
ツアーのインストラクターの方もとても親切で大満足な旅でした！

The weather was bad from the first day, and after several communications, I was finally able to participate on the third day. I was worried about my 3-year-old child at night, but they were overjoyed! They kept saying, "The stars are beautiful!" It was a very satisfying tour, especially since we saw shooting stars.

１日目から天候が悪く、何度も連絡をくださり3日目でやっと参加出来ました。夜中で３歳の子供が心配でしたが、大喜び！「星きれいだねー」と何度も言ってました。
流れ星が見え、大満足のツアーでした。

I had a great time.
The meeting point was Palette Kumoji near the prefectural office.
Since it's also a waiting area for other sightseeing buses, it was somewhat crowded.
However, the tour guide efficiently checked the reservation list and guided us to the bus.
The bus was a large sightseeing bus that could accommodate 50 to 60 people.
Since I had small children with me, we reserved two seats, but there was enough space, and we were allowed to move to any available seats, which was very appreciated.
We visited various sightseeing spots and headed to our main destination, the Churaumi Aquarium.
We spent a short 150 minutes enjoying a meal while watching the large tank and thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin show before heading back.
While it had elements of a whirlwind tour, I think it's perfect for those who want to hit the major tourist spots.
The tour guide's stories were interesting, covering topics from Okinawa's base issues to road conditions; it might not resonate with everyone, but I found it fascinating.
Also, since there is quite a bit of walking at the aquarium, Manzamo, and Ryukyu Village, a stroller is essential.
Thank you very much.

とても楽しませてもらいました。
集合は県庁近くのパレット久茂地。
他の観光バスの待ち合わせエリアでもあるので、多少混雑。
ですが、添乗員さんがテキパキと予約表を確認してバスへ案内してくれました。
バスは50～60名乗れる大型の観光バス。
小さな子連れだったので席は2名分の確保でしたが、余裕があるので、空いている席に移動してもよいとのことで、とてもありがたかったです。各観光地を周り、最大の目的地の美ら海水族館へ。
150分と決して長くない時間を使って、大水槽を見ながら食事をし、イルカショーを堪能して帰ってきました。
弾丸ツアー的な要素ありますが、王道観光地を押さえておきたい人にはぴったりなツアーだと思います。添乗員さんのお話もおもしろく、沖縄の基地問題から道路事情まで、興味ない人には響かないかもしれませんが笑、私は興味深く聞いてました。
あと水族館や万座毛、琉球村は結構歩くので、ベビーカーは必須です。
ありがとうございました。

I couldn't relax because of the heavy rain... The café I wanted to visit was also closed... I was really down about this. I want to try again on a sunny day. I did manage to find some star sand, though.

大雨でゆっくりできず、、、。
行きたかったカフェも定休日、、、。
流石にこれは落ち込みました。
またリベンジで晴天の日に行きたいです。
星の砂は発見できました。

You can fully enjoy the scenery of Taketomi. On the day we visited, fortunately, the weather was too good. It was really hot. We were grateful for the bus tour. However, there were also many people using rental bicycles. I felt it was too hot to manage that. Riding the water buffalo cart was a great experience. The young man's singing and guidance were also good.

竹富の風景を満喫できます。私達が行った日は、おかげ様で、良すぎる天気。だから、暑くて暑くて。バスでめぐっていただき、助かりました。でもレンタサイクルの方もたくさんいらっしゃいましたΣ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ私は、無理だと感じるほどの暑さ。水牛車に乗ったのも、良い経験
。お兄さんの歌、ガイドも良かったです

This time, I participated with my elementary school daughter. Since I'm a paper driver, I often use sightseeing buses. The guide was a woman. As other reviews mentioned, we were able to tour very efficiently, and since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, it was truly great. The Kabira Bay, which I had always seen in photos, was indeed beautiful. I think it's worth taking a ride on the glass-bottom boat. We also got to see trees that can only be found in the Yaeyama Islands. The guide kindly took photos for us, so it will be a memorable experience. The food was just average. I recommend this for those visiting Ishigaki for the first time.

今回は小学生の娘と二人で参加させてもらいました。ペーパードライバーなこともあって、観光バスはよく利用します。
ガイドさんは女性でした。
他の方の口コミの通り、とても効率よく回れて石垣島は初めてだったので、本当によかったです。
いつも写真で見ていた川平湾はやはり綺麗でした。グラスボートは乗った方がいいと思います。
八重山にしかない木も見れました。ガイドさんが快く写真を撮って下さったので、思い出に残ります。
料理はまあ、普通です。
石垣旅行が初めての方にはおすすめです。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time this time. I chose this tour where we could experience both the sea and mangroves in a limited time, and it was a great decision!
With the help of a kind guide, my family and I were able to share many first-time emotions together!
We took a lot of pictures, and since we usually don't take family photos, it became the best memory! I think this tour is highly recommended as we were able to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island with the seawater, freshwater, and greenery!

今回初めて西表島を訪れました。限られた時間の中で海もマングローブも出来るこちらのツアーを選びましたが大正解！
親切なガイドさんのもと親子で初の感動を沢山共有できました！
写真も沢山撮っていただけて普段なかなか家族で写真を撮ることがないので最高の思い出です！海水に淡水に緑にと西表島の大自然を目一杯楽しめてすごくおススメのツアーだと思います！！
