All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The driver, Mr. Narusoko, was polite and a very nice person. He researched various information tailored to our interests and shared it with us. When he didn't know something, he humbly said, "I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge." His choices for the route and time management were perfect, and we had a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we asked for his services! Thank you very much!

担当ドライバーの成底さんは、礼儀正しく、とても良い方だった。私たちの関心に合わせて、いろいろな情報を調べてくださり、教えてくれた。知らないことは、「勉強不足ですみません」という感じで、とても謙虚。ルート選び、時間配分も完璧で、素晴らしい体験ができた。本当にお願いして良かったです！
ありがとうございました！

I requested to have my photo taken with the Milky Way in the background.
On the day of the shoot, it was a fun experience, and we finished the photoshoot successfully.
Five days later, the images were sent to me. Thank you very much!

天の川をバックに撮って貰いたいと要望しました♪
撮影当日も、楽しく撮影が終わりました。
撮り終わって5日目に画像が送られて来ました。有難うございました♪

They were very friendly and chatted with me while taking photos, which made it enjoyable and relaxed! After we finished, they recommended some spots and restaurants to check out. I heard that you can see a shooting star every three minutes, so after the shoot, I ended up stargazing for an hour (laughs). Thank you very much!

とっても気さくに喋りながら撮影してくださって、緊張せず楽しかったです！
また終わったあとにオススメのスポットやご飯屋さんなどを教えてもらいました！
3分に1度流れ星が見れるとのことで
撮影の後、流れ星鑑賞を1時間もしてしまいました（笑）
ありがとうございました！

The photos were blurry. Two years ago and last year, it was better because they made more efforts during the shoot. I would have liked them to wait when other lights came in during the shoot.

写真がぶれてたりしました。
2年前、昨年の方のほうが撮影中も工夫してもらえてよかったです。
撮影中、他のライトが入ったときなどは待ってもらいたかったです。

Thanks to Hiro-kun's detailed explanations and guidance, I was able to see the beautiful sight of a spider building its web, which I would usually dislike! The photos of the starry sky turned out beautifully as well! Of course, we also found the coconut crab, and it was clearly visible! My child was able to spot it too and was truly delighted! Thank you very much!

ヒロくんがいろいろ説明しながら案内してくれたおかげで、普段なら嫌がるクモも、巣を作ってる途中の綺麗な様子が見えました！
星空の写真もバッチリ綺麗にとれました！！
もちろんヤシガニも見つけてくれてバッチリ見えました！
うちの子供も見つけることができ、本当に喜んでいました！
ありがとうございました！

It was a very precious memory of Ishigaki Island to have the opportunity to see the sunset and the landscape leading to the sea from the river mouth, which is not something you get to experience often. I'm grateful to our bright and charming guide, Makoto, for taking so many photos! The shuttle service from the hotel to the site was also greatly appreciated since we didn't have a car. If I get the chance, I would love to try the night tour to see the stars next time! Thank you very much! ^ - ^

雲の合間から見える夕陽や海へ続く風景を河口側から見る機会はなかなか無かったのでとても貴重な石垣島での思い出になりました。明るくてチャーミングなガイドのまことさんに写真もたくさん撮っていただき感謝です！ホテルから現地まで送迎付きだったのも車が無い私たちにとって大変有り難かったです。機会があったら次回は星を見るナイトツアーに行ってみたいです！！ありがとうございました^ - ^

On the day, the sky was covered with clouds, and I thought it would be difficult to take photos, but I decided to wait and see.

When the clouds cleared, the photographer skillfully captured the moments.

The photos are absolutely wonderful, and they have become great memories of my trip. I am very satisfied. Thank you very much!

当日は空が雲に覆われてしまい、撮影が難しいかと思いましたが様子を見て少し待つことに。
雲が流れた頃を見計らって手際よく撮影いただきました。

とっても素敵な写真で、旅の思い出になり大満足です。
この度は誠にありがとうございました！

We participated as a family of five!
SUP was really enjoyable, and surprisingly not too difficult, so I think anyone can do it. The information about the mangroves and the Blue Cave, as well as details about the shops in Ishigaki, were interesting to hear.
The snorkeling had excellent visibility, and the kids had a great time. It was wonderful to experience the world we had seen on TV and in the media firsthand. I want to go again!

家族5人で参加しました！
SUPはすごく気持ち良くて、意外にあまり難しくなく誰でも出来ると思います。マングローブとか青の洞窟の豆知識や、石垣のお店の情報とかを教えて頂き、話が面白かったです。
シュノーケリングは透明度がすごく良くて、子供達も非常に楽しめました。テレビやメディアで見てた世界を実体験出来て、とても嬉しかったです。また行きたいです。

For those who do not participate in activities like snorkeling, I recommend the glass-bottom boat tour in Taketomi Island. However, the water buffalo cart tours are crowded and have very long wait times, which leaves almost no time for free exploration of Taketomi Island afterward. Therefore, I suggest opting for cycling instead of the water buffalo cart course.

シュノーケリング等をやらない方には竹富島グラスボートお勧めですが、水牛車観光は混雑していてとても待ち時間が長い為、その後の竹富島フリー観光時間がほぼ無くなるので水牛車コースではなくサイクリングをお勧めします。

Under the guidance of Komecchi, I received a lecture on how to use the snorkeling equipment, and we encountered a sea turtle almost immediately after starting! I was so moved to see a sea turtle up close so quickly, as I didn't expect it at all. 🥹

We were also taken to areas with lots of coral reefs and fish, and they quickly sent us many photos and videos! Initially, I had booked the 9 AM tour, but considering the clarity of the water and the crowds, they recommended switching to the 7 AM tour, which turned out to be a great decision! By 9 AM, there were quite a few more people around.

Komecchi's guidance was also enjoyable! I made wonderful memories. Thank you very much! 😊

こめっちさんガイドの元、シュノーケルの使い方などレクチャーしていただき、開始して本当にすぐにウミガメに出会えました！
手の届くような距離でこんなにすぐにウミガメに出会えるとは思っていなかったので感動しました🥹
珊瑚礁や魚たちがたくさんいるところにも連れていってもらい、本当にたくさんの写真や動画をすぐに送ってくださいました！
当初9時のツアーを申し込んでいましたが、海の透明度や混雑なども踏まえ7時のツアーを勧めてくださり変更して大正解でした！
9時の時点でかなり人も増えておりました。
こめっちさんのガイドも楽しかったです！
素敵な思い出ができました。
ありがとうございました😊

This is my first time in Ishigaki Island. This time, since I didn't have much time, I joined this tour to efficiently visit the surrounding islands. Whether boarding the boat or the bus, there was very little waiting time, and everything went smoothly. Fortunately, the waves weren't high, and I didn't experience the seasickness I was worried about, but I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness bring some medication.

石垣島は初めて。今回は、あまり時間がなかったこともあり、離島を効率よく回るのに、このツアーに参加しました。
船に乗るにも、バスに乗るにも、とにかく待ち時間が少なく、スムーズ。
運良く、波も高くなくて、心配していた船酔いもありませんでしたが、酔いやすい人は酔い止め持参をオススメします。

I walked through the night in Ingya for about an hour and a bit, and I was able to hear stories about the creatures I encountered along the way. Our guide was Hinata Kimura. She answered the children's questions effortlessly, and I was impressed by her wealth of knowledge. It was fun to talk with her since we are both from Osaka! Meeting the coconut crab was the highlight. Not only did I learn about the creatures, but I also received travel advice for Miyako Island, making it a wonderful memory! Thank you! ☺︎

およそ１時間と少し、夜のインギャーを歩いて、道中出会った生き物たちのお話を聞かせていただきました。担当は、木村ひなたさん。一緒にいた子どもたちの質問にも難なく答えていて、知識が豊富ですごいな〜と感動しました。同じ大阪出身とのことで、お話できて楽しかったです！ヤシガニにも出会えて最高でした。生き物のことだけでなく、宮古島での旅のアドバイスもいただき、素敵な思い出になりました！ありがとうございました☺︎

The full day experience is quite interesting, though most of the cases are only self-guided and if you are not Japanese, there is limited information learned since most of the guided (on the river boat and the bus) are conducted in Japanese. The whole trip is packed with different experiences including a boat trip, water buffalo truck, authentic little towns, beautiful beaches, etc., which were quite satisfactory. The bento for lunch was well prepared as well. Fortunately, I was in a showroom about Taketomi Island with many great displays of local folk items, culture, and a short movie theatre with air conditioning that allowed me to spend the time during the rain learning many things about Taketomi culture. Also, there is English and Chinese explanation as well.

The full day experience is quite interesting though most of the cases are only self-guided and if you are not Japanese, there is limited information learnt since most of the guided (on the river boat and the bus) are conducted in Japanese. The guided device for foreigners had very limited information compared with the length of what the guides said. My guided device seems malfuntioned as it is not working probably in the middle of the trip, which really lessened the information I could learn.

この旅行は探検のフルパックでした。私たちは多くの動物、ココナッツガニやさまざまな種類の昆虫を見ました。個人的には、星空をじっくりと楽しむ時間がもっとあればよかったと思います。ツアーには多くの外国人が参加していて、途中で英語の説明があったのには驚きました。これは日本では非常に助かります。

The trip is full pack of exploration. We saw many animals, including some coconut crabs, different kind of insects. I personally wish there was more time to sit down and appreciate the starry sky.
I was suprised that there were many foreigners join the tour with English explanation along the way, which is very helpful in Japan.

Snorkeling in Miyako Island for the second time! Finally at Shinjo Beach.
The ocean was truly beautiful, and I never expected to swim so close to a sea turtle.
I was taken care of by Yamachan for two consecutive years.
Thank you very much!

二度目の宮古島でのシュノーケル！念願の新城海岸。
本当に海がきれいで、まさかウミガメとあんな近くで一緒に泳げるとは思いませんでした。
二年連続でやまちゃんにお世話になりました。
ありがとうございました！

The weather was wonderful, and when I saw the Milky Way, I couldn't help but shout. I also got to see two blue land crabs, which made me very satisfied. On the way back, I was taken to a spot where I could see the night view of Ishigaki City and the starry sky at the same time, and I was deeply moved.

Thank you, Suzuka and Sebastian.

天気も素晴らしく、天の川が見れた時は、思わず叫んでしまいました。
青いヤシガニも2匹も見れましたし、大満足だったのですが、帰り、高台から石垣市街地の夜景と星空を同時に見られる場所に連れて行って頂き、感動しました。

すずかさん、セバスチャンさん、ありがとうございました。

Thanks to you, I was able to have a fun day exploring. Thank you very much. If it hadn't been for the private taxi tour, I don't think I would have been able to see as much.

おかげさまで1日楽しく回ることが出来ました。ありがとうございました。
もし、貸し切りのタクシー旅じゃなかったら、なかなか回れなかったと思います。

I decided to try snorkeling for the first time in Ishigaki Island and joined this Blue Cave snorkeling tour. In a word, it was a hit! It was an absolutely amazing experience!! The guide was very kind, always ensuring our safety while keeping us entertained, which made me feel very secure and turned it into a truly moving experience.

In the clear blue sea, you can encounter Nemo and Dory!! Unfortunately, I didn’t meet Crush, but I look forward to that encounter next time.

They also provided a pleasant pick-up service to the hotel, and the guide's talk in the car was full of humor. They shared many recommendations for local restaurants, so getting the latest information directly from them is definitely better than relying on past SMS posts.

Thank you for the best experience, the handsome guide Ryunosuke!!

初シュノーケリングは石垣島でと思い立ち、この青の洞門シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。ひとことで言うと当たりです！超最高体験です！！ガイドの方がとても優しくて、楽しませてくれながら、常に安全に気を配ってくれているので、とても安心して参加でき、最高に感動的な体験となりました。
青く澄んだ海の中で、あのニモやドリーに出逢えます！！残念ながら、クラッシュには逢えませんでしたが、次回の遭遇に期待です。
送迎もホテルまで快よくしてもらえて、車内でのガイドさんのトークもユーモアセンスがありありで、オススメ食べ物屋さんなども、沢山教えてくれるので、現地での生の最新情報が貰えるのは、過去の経験で書き込まれたSMS投稿で得るよりもありだと思います。
ガイドのイケメン龍之介くん、最高の体験をありがとう！！

Even small children participated, and thanks to the thorough and attentive instruction, we were able to successfully complete our first canoeing experience! The weather was also favorable, and we are very satisfied! Next year, please sign us up for the full-day course.

小さい子供も参加したのですが、懇切丁寧にレクチャーいただき無事に初カヌーを終えることができました！天候にも恵まれ、とても満足しています！
来年は、１日コースでお願いしますm(_ _)m

It was a tour that circled Ishigaki Island by bus, and the weather was great, making it truly wonderful. We efficiently visited all the points we wanted to see, and it was fun to have songs sung with the sanshin on the bus.

石垣島をバスで一周するツアーでしたが、天気も良くて本当に最高でした。行きたいポイントを効率良く回って頂き、またバスの中では三線で歌も歌っていただき楽しかったです。

I chose how to spend the last day. It was reassuring that lunch was included. The bus guide's explanations were very thorough and wonderful. Thank you very much.

最後の1日の過ごし方で､選びました。お昼も付いているので、安心でした。バスガイドさんの説明がとても丁寧で素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to spend a relaxing time, and it was enjoyable. The water buffalo were cute, and I was surprised at how smart they were. The explanation about the island was thorough, and it truly became a wonderful memory.

のんびりとした時間を過ごすことが出来、楽しかったです。水牛が可愛く､とても頭が良くびっくりしました。島の説明も丁寧で､本当に良い思い出になりました。

Taketomi Island has many attractions, and my free time passed in the blink of an eye. The beach and the streets with red-tiled roofs were wonderful, creating a soothing atmosphere.

竹富島は見どころが多くフリータイムはあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。浜も赤瓦の街並みも素敵で癒される空間でした。

We participated in our first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience and sea turtle snorkeling as a family of five on Miyako Island. It was our first time doing SUP, but the staff were very cheerful and kind, which made us feel safe and glad we participated. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles while snorkeling, but a funny guy from Kansai with a wonderful smile worked hard to take pictures with Nemo, and we are grateful for the lovely memories captured in those photos. Thank you!

初めての宮古島で家族5人で初sup体験とウミガメシュノーケリングに参加しました。初めてのsupでしたがスタッフ方がとても明るく親切で安心して体験する事ができ、参加して良かったです。シュノーケリングは残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、笑顔が素敵な関西人の面白いお兄さんが一生懸命にニモと撮影して頂き、素敵な思い出の写真も感謝です。ありがとうございます。

Yume's explanation was clear and easy to understand, and her attention to detail as a woman was impressive. I'm glad I participated this time. Thank you!

ゆめさんの説明がハキハキしてわかりやすかったし、女性ならではの気配りがよくできてて今回参加してよかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I went with Naoki-kun's team!!! It was so much fun! I was very satisfied to see the coconut crab! Thank you very much!!

なおくんチームで行ってきました！！！
めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
ヤシガニも見れて大満足です！
ありがとうございました！！

I arrived at Kaimanjima for the 22:20 start time. It was my first time on a remote island, and I was nervous since there were almost no streetlights.

I managed to pit in early at what seemed like the meeting place, and when I stepped outside, fireflies were dancing around, and the sky was filled with stars 🌌. I was so impressed by the beautiful sky, just like when I was a child (;[];)

Thanks to Afro-san's appearance, I recognized him right away, and we moved to the spot with just my phone as a light source. When I turned it off, the surroundings were filled with stars 🌟. It was the first time I saw the Milky Way so clearly down low. I've participated in several starry sky tours, but this was the most beautiful one yet.

He also gave precise pose advice for the photos, and we finished quickly! It seems the retouched photos will arrive in about a week. I'm looking forward to it ⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ︎

Since the photos are taken one group at a time, you can enjoy yourself without worrying, so I highly recommend it.

22:20分の開始に来間島へ。
初めての離島に、街灯もほぼなくドキドキ。

なんとか集合場所らしき所に早めにﾋﾟｯﾄｲﾝし、外に出たら蛍も飛び交い空は満天の星空🌌子供の頃みて以来の綺麗な空に大感激(;[];)


アフロさんの見た目のお陰で直ぐに分かって、スポットへ移動は携帯のみ持参。ライト代わり。消したら周りは星一面🌟 天の川があんなに下の方にクッキリ見えたの初めてです。 星空ツアーいくつか参加しましたが、過去一綺麗でした。

写真も的確にポーズアドバイスしてくれて、サクッと完了！1週間ほどレタッチ等して届くそうです。楽しみ⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝ ︎

1組ずつ撮影なので気にせず楽しめるのでオススメです。

I participated with an elementary school student. Since we didn't have a car, we opted for a bus tour, and along the way, the guide shared a lot of useful knowledge about Okinawa, which was very educational.

At Sefa Utaki, we had some extra time, so we enjoyed the stunning views at Chinen Misaki. In the Gyokusendo Cave, they provided us with insect repellent spray and let us carry a thermos of salted barley tea, allowing us to explore leisurely for about an hour. It was cold and very refreshing.

We arrived at the airport around 1 PM, and we were able to spend a very meaningful morning.

小学生と二人で参加しました。
車がないのでバスツアーにしましたが、道中ガイドさんのためになる沖縄知識をたくさんお話してくださり大変勉強になりました。
斎場御嶽は時間が余ったので知念岬で絶景を楽しみ、ガンガラーの谷では虫除けスプレーをしてくれ、塩麦茶の水筒を持たせてもらい約1時間ほどゆっくり探索できました。冷たくてありがたかったです。
空港には13時ごろに到着して、午前中をかなり有意義に過ごせました。

We participated as a family of four. After the typhoon, the event was rescheduled by a day, and thanks to that, the sea was clear and very beautiful. Our guide, Hikaru, was very kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the sea with peace of mind. The various stories shared were also enjoyable. We got to see sea turtles and Nemo, and we took wonderful photos, which made us very satisfied! All the pictures were fantastic, which was another pleasant surprise. The kids also seemed very happy, saying, "The big brother was so nice!" Thank you for sharing information about restaurants and tourist spots! We created the best memories in Miyako Island, and I am truly grateful. If we come to Miyako Island again, we would definitely like to request this tour! I highly recommend it! ❤︎

家族4人で参加させていただきました。
台風明けで、1日ずれての開催にしてくださり、おかげで海が澄んでいてとても綺麗でした。
ガイドのひかるさんが、とても優しく、気遣いもたくさんしていただき、安心して海を楽しむことができました。色んなお話も楽しかったです。
ウミガメやニモにも会えて素敵な写真も撮っていただき大満足です！！
写真がどれも素敵でそれもまたびっくりしました。
子供達も、お兄さんが優しかったー！と大満足の様子でした。
ご飯屋さんや観光スポットの情報なども教えていただきありがとうございました！
宮古島での最高の思い出ができ、本当に感謝です。また宮古島に来た際は、ぜひお願いしたいです！とってもオススメのツアーです❤︎

Having Chinese friends made the guided tour in Chinese extremely helpful. We were able to fully enjoy the northern course, and it seemed that we received useful advice from the guide for our activities later on.

中国人の友人達だったので中国語ガイド付きは非常に助かりました。コースも北部を満喫出来ましたし、後日以降の活動に役立つアドバイスをガイドさんからいただいていたようでした。
