All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I almost went around the whole island, and it was an amazing trip with fantastic weather. Since the weather on the island can change unexpectedly, two nights is enough to enjoy various places around the island.

ほぼ一周した、めちゃくちゃ良かった天気で、最高の旅でした。島の天気で、いつか変わるか珍しく無いので、二泊で、充分島のあちこち味わってもらって頂けると思います。

I participated on March 7th.

On that day, there was a light rain and a bit of wind. I explored the beach at night and was able to encounter crabs running away illuminated by my flashlight and fish jumping on the water's surface.

Although we searched for coconut crabs at a secret spot and didn't manage to find any, I had a great time searching the rocky crevices with a light in hand. The guide even caught some river shrimp along the way, making it an exciting experience that brought back my childhood sense of wonder!

3月7日に参加しました。
当日は小雨で少し風もありました、夜の浜辺を探索し、懐中電灯に照らされて走り逃げるカニや水面を飛び跳ねる魚たちと出会うことができました。
ヤシガニを探して秘蔵のスポットを回ってくれたのですがこちらは出会えることができなかったものの、ライト片手に岩場のくぼみを探し回り、ガイドさんが途中で川エビを獲得してくれたり、童心に帰ってワクワクする楽しい体験でした！

The day before, it was raining on and off, but on this day, there was wind, and it was sunny with beautiful colors in the sea. During the mangrove tour, I enjoyed the guide's fun stories and explanations about the types of mangroves. It was something I don't get to see often, so I'm glad I came. It turned out to be an amazing day.

前日は雨が降ったりやんだり、この日は風はあるけど晴れて海の色も綺麗でした
マングローブのでは、ガイドさんの楽しい話しとマングローブの種類の説明を聞いて楽しかったしなかなか見られるものでは無いので来て良かった
最高な日になりました。

The tour participants were a mix of Japanese and international guests. The guide was fluent in English, so I think the overseas guests had no difficulties. I have visited Okinawa many times, but I rarely get to go to the northern part, so it was a great tour.

We arrived at the Minato Kunigami Port Shokudo around 10:30, but since it opened at 11:00, we could only kill time wandering around the beach in front of the restaurant. The lunch was a hearty set meal, so I ended up quite full.

The weather wasn't great, and I was worried about getting caught in the rain during the Asumui Hikes, but it cleared up partway through, which was a relief. We walked over rocky and uneven terrain, so it would have been slippery if it had rained. I think it would be quite a hard path for elderly people or those with weak legs. The scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the sounds of birds chirping, the rustling of trees and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers. You can take your time walking or speed up to see everything. Although I didn't get to see the Okinawa Rail, there weren't any noisy participants in the tour, so I could enjoy the quiet sounds of nature and the fresh air.

On this day, the restroom breaks were at the Roadside Station Kyoda on the way there and at the Igei Service Area on the way back. The Roadside Station Kyoda is spacious, but you have to walk from the restroom to the souvenir shop, so shopping might not be feasible. I thought it would have been nice if we could stop at the small shop at Igei. I wish they could have scheduled some shopping time at both Kyoda and the service area, as that would have made it even more enjoyable. We also went to Cape Hedo, but the large statue of the Okinawa Rail was located a bit far away, so we couldn't see it up close (what a shame).

Fortunately, we managed to return to Naha City around 6:30 PM without getting caught in any traffic. Since it was a tour, we adhered strictly to the schedule. Everyone participating was punctual, so everything went smoothly. It was a full-day tour, but we were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner in Naha City at night, making it a fulfilling day.

ツアー参加者は日本の方と海外の方と混在でした。
ガイドの方は英語が堪能なので海外の方も不自由ではなかったかと思います。
沖縄には何度も訪問していますが、なかなか北部までは行くことが出来ないので良いツアーでした。

みなと国頭港食堂には１０時半頃着いてしまい、１１時～とのことだったので食堂前のビーチをうろうろするくらいしか時間を潰せませんでした。
お昼ご飯はしっかり定食でしたのでおなかがいっぱいになりました。

天候がいまいちだったのでアスムイハイクスで雨に降られたらどうしようと思いましたが、途中から晴れてきたので良かったです。
岩場や足場の悪いところを歩いて行くので、雨が降ったら滑りそうでした。
年配の方や足腰の弱い方は結構ハードな道だと思います。
景観も素晴らしいですが、鳥のさえずりや木々や葉の音、花の香りも楽しめます。
ゆっくり歩くもよし、早歩きで全部を回るもよしです。
ヤンバルクイナにはもちろん逢えませんでしたが、ツアー参加の方も騒がしい方が居なかったので、ゆっくり静かな自然の音や空気を楽しむことが出来ました。

この日のトイレ休憩は往路が道の駅許田、復路が伊芸ＳＡでした。
道の駅許田は広いしトイレから土産物店まで歩いて行かないといけないので買い物はダメでしょうが、伊芸は小さいので売店に寄らせてくれても良いのにな…と、ここだけお願いポイントでした。許田もＳＡも買い物時間含めてスケジュールを組んでくれたら、また楽しいのになと思いました。
あとは辺戸岬に行ったけれど、大きいヤンバルクイナの像はチョット離れたところにあるので、近くで見られませんでした（残念）

運良く何処でも渋滞にも巻き込まれずに那覇市内に１８時半頃には戻ってこれました。
ツアーなので時間厳守で進みました。参加された方が皆さん厳守されていたので順調にすすみました。
１日ツアーでしたが夜は那覇市内でゆっくりご飯が食べられるので充実の１日となりました。

The weather was nice, but the wind was a bit strong. It was very beautiful and wonderful. The video taken with the drone was very beautiful and moving.

My initial reservation was for 10 AM, but I received a message the day before that it would be better to change it to 12 PM as the wind was expected to be a bit weaker then. The tour guide was very kind, which was great. I will be in your care again.

お天気は良かったのですが風が少し強かったです。
とても綺麗で素晴らしい。
ドローンを使って撮って貰う動画がとても綺麗で感動しました。

最初の時間が10時予約だったのですが前日に12時に変更した方が風が少し弱くなる予定と連絡をいただきました。とても親切なツアーの方で良かったです。
またお世話になります。

I was actually worried that I might not have enough time or that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I was tired, but the bus guide was kind and made the departure times easy to understand and very helpful!

実際時間足りないかも、とか疲れてて楽しめないかなって思ってたけど
バスガイドさん優しくて出発時刻とかも分かりやすくて親切だった！

After making a web reservation, the ticket reception and boarding for the ferry and bus were smooth. The water buffalo was a good and cute one. If the weather had been nice, it would have been the best experience. Thank you very much.

WEB予約後、チケット受付もフェリーやバス乗車もスムーズ。水牛は良い子で可愛かったです。
天気が良ければ最高の体験でしたね。
ありがとうございまさした。

The weather was nice during the mangrove tour, and since we were on the first boat, there were no waves, and the water surface looked like a mirror, reflecting the trees beautifully. I was very moved and was able to take some stunning photos.

On the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed hearing stories about the water buffalo and the island from our guide, making the journey fun.

For lunch, I had local food, but it didn't quite suit my taste.

In Taketomi Island, we toured by bus, but the time was short and it felt rushed; I wished we had more time.

マングローブ遊覧で天気が良く先頭の船だったので、波も無く水面が鏡の様で木々が水面に映り、美しい写真が撮れてとても感動しました
水牛車は、ガイドさんから水牛や島の話しを聞き楽しく移動が出来ました
昼食は地元の物を食べれたがあまり口に合わなかった
竹富島ではバス観光で廻ったが、時間が短く忙しなくもっと時間が欲しかった

This time, I had a wonderful trip thanks to an amazing female guide. I appreciate her detailed guidance and consideration for my health, which helped me manage my condition perfectly.

The bus tour to the place was even more wonderful than I imagined, and it was very meaningful without any time loss.

If I had to wish for something, I would like to spend more time at the location, but I understand that the congestion on the way back is quite severe, so I am satisfied.

今回は素晴らしい女性のガイド様に出会えて大変素晴らしい旅になりました。
きめ細やかなご案内、時間の周知のおかげで、体調管理にも万全のご配慮をいただき感謝します。

想像以上に素晴らしい場所へのバスツアーは、
時間的なロスもなく、大変有意義でした。

欲を言えば、現地でゆっくり過ごしたいですが、
やはり帰路の混雑が凄いので、納得しております。

This tour is very time-efficient as it allows you to visit places that are not easily accessible by public transportation, and it also prepares everything for you, such as ticket purchases, without the need to wait in line.

なかなか、公共の交通機関ではいけない場所を効率的にまわれ、またチケット購入など並ぶ事なく準備していただけるこのツアーは大変時間的な効率も良いです。

It was very good. I understood the meeting place, but the vehicle on the day was not the Celulian Blue-wrapped bus that was mentioned as a landmark. The guide was calling out the names of the participants, but their voices were mostly drowned out by the noise of passing cars, which caused a delay in the participants' responses and made the gathering take longer than expected. The tour went smoothly, but there were some people who were late each time for the meeting. The guide was very kind and always had a lovely smile. The driver also drove safely, and I truly appreciate their hard work. It was a great trip. If I have the opportunity again, I will definitely use your services. Thank you very much.

とても良かったです。集合場所は分かりましたが当日の車両が、目印と書いてあった、セルリアンブルーさんのラッピングバスではなかったのと、ガイドさんはずっと参加者の名前を呼んでくれていましたが、通行している車の音にかき消されて、ほとんど聞こえなかったため参加者の反応が遅れ、集合に時間が掛かったように思います。ツアーは順調でしたが、集合時間に毎回遅れる方がいました。ガイドさんはとても親切で、いつも笑顔で素敵でした。ドライバーさんも安全運転で本当にお疲れ様でした。良い旅行になりました。また機会がありましたら利用させて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。

The guide was very good, but the lunch was the worst. The food was acceptable, but the rice was either too old or had been left out for too long; it was cold and hard, and it was terrible.

ガイドさんはとても良かったですが
お昼の食事が最悪でした。
料理は許せるが、お米が時間が経ち過ぎていたのか、冷たく、固くなっていて、最悪でした

We were pulled by a cute water buffalo, and the guide shared interesting and amusing stories about Taketomi Island. It was a wonderful experience where we could feel the flow of time on the island.

可愛い水牛に引っ張ってもらって、ガイドさんが竹富島の説明を面白おかしくお話してくれます。島の時の流れが感じられ、素敵な体験でした。

I was guided by Yume, and I was able to spend a special time unique to Iriomote Island.

It was my first canoe experience, but thanks to her bright and kind support, I felt at ease. The explanations about the mangroves were enjoyable, and I was moved to be taken to some wonderful hidden spots.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but since there was no direct sunlight, it was actually comfortable and nice. It became a wonderful memory; thank you very much!

ガイドのユメさんに案内していただき、西表島ならではの特別な時間を過ごせました。

初めてのカヌー体験でしたが、明るく優しいサポートのおかけで安心感がありました。
マングローブの解説も楽しく、とっておきの素敵なスポットまで連れていってもらえて感動しました。

天気はあいにくの曇りでしたが、直射日光はなかったので逆に過ごしやすくて良かったです。
素敵な思い出になりました、ありがとうございました！

We took a walk around the village while receiving explanations! It was great to explore Taketomi Island and learn about its charm rather than just visiting as a tourist! Although it was unfortunately rainy, we still enjoyed the water buffalo!

説明をしてもらいながら集落を散歩しました！観光でくるより竹富島なら良さを知りながら回れたのでよかったです！あいにくの雨でしたが水牛は楽しめました！！

I was looking forward to the tour, but unfortunately, it rained...
Riding a bike in a poncho on Taketomi Island was tough.
Surprisingly, the bike tires got stuck in the sand.
However, the ride on the ox cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu was fun.
The water buffaloes were working hard.
Also, the bus driver's stories during the ride were entertaining.
Even with the bad weather, it was a tour that I enjoyed in its own way.
Thank you very much.

楽しみにしてたツアーですが、生憎の雨・・・。
竹富島では、ポンチョ着てのチャリは、しんどい。
意外に砂地にチャリのタイヤが取られる。
でも、西表島⇒由布の牛車は楽しかった。
水牛さんたちが頑張ってました。
また、移動のバスの運転手さんのお話が面白かったです。
天候が悪くてもそれはそれで楽しめたツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

In the morning, I participated in a mangrove kayaking activity, and in the afternoon, I went snorkeling in the Blue Cave.

We gathered around 9 AM, and I felt reassured as they picked us up from the hotel to start the day. The weather was clear and warm, and both activities offered stunning views! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, just as the tour promised.

The guides took a lot of photos with a GoPro throughout the tour, and I was grateful that they shared them with us on the same day, despite their busy schedule. It had been a while since I participated in such activities, but everyone was cheerful and lively, which made it enjoyable.

Personally, I was happy that lunch was flexible and we had plenty of time, allowing us to enjoy some gourmet food on the same day. It turned out to be a very satisfying day!

午前にマングローブ(カヤック)、午後に青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました

朝9時台の集合でしたが、ホテルまでピックアップに来ていただいて安心のスタート
当日は快晴で気温も高く、どちらのアクティビティも最高の景色を見れました！
シュノーケリングではツアー名のとおりウミガメにも遭遇できて、とてもラッキーでした

ガイドの方々は、ツアー中GoProでたくさん写真を取ってくださり、お忙しいのに当日にすぐシェアしていただけてありがたかったです
こういったアクティビティ参加は久々でしたが、みなさんハキハキとした明るい方で、楽しむことができました

個人的には、ランチが自由で時間に余裕もあったので、同日にグルメも楽しめて嬉しかったです。大満足の1日になりました！

After touring around Ishigaki Island, we were dropped off at the airport, so we scheduled our flight for the evening to participate. We were able to visit places that are difficult to explore on our own, such as the limestone caves and Kabira Bay. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and we had a wonderful time filled with laughter.

石垣島の島内を観光した後に空港で降ろしてもらえるので、飛行機の時間を夕方に設定して参加しました。
自分達で巡るのは困難な鍾乳洞、川平湾などを巡ることができました。
ガイドさんのお話が楽しく笑いっぱなしの素敵な時間でした。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since renting a car would be a waste for just one person, I joined a bus tour. The whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. At the café in front of the aquarium, you can enjoy a meal while watching the fish. I also opted for the steak full course, which was delicious.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、レンタカーは一人だともったいないのでバスツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館のジンベイサメは素晴らしかったです。水槽の前のカフェでは食事しながら魚がみれます。またステーキフルコース付きにしたので美味しかったです。

It was an enjoyable tour from start to finish. The mangrove canoeing was stable, and even someone like me, who lacks physical strength, was able to ride it easily and observe the mangroves up close. Although it was a cloudy day with strong winds, the river was majestic, with gentle flows that allowed me to fully experience the great nature of Iriomote Island. I highly recommend canoeing!

Since you will get wet, I think it's best to participate in shorts or swimwear. You can change in the shower rooms. I was also happy that they took photos of us while canoeing and sent them to me later. If you bring your own smartphone, a waterproof case with a strap is essential!

On Yubu Island, I enjoyed the water buffalo, small beaches, delicious gelato, and butterflies... It was a peaceful time, and I was able to experience a different atmosphere from the wildness of Iriomote Island.

Although we couldn't go to Barasu Island due to bad weather this time, I thought it was great that Pipi offered various activities, allowing us to choose different options.

終始楽しいツアーでした。
マングローブカヌーは安定していて体力のない私でも簡単に乗れるようになりましたし、間近でマングローブを観察できました。曇りで強風の日でしたが、川の方は雄大で流れはあまり無くゆったりと西表島の大自然を感じることができたので、カヌー！オススメです。
濡れますので、服装は短パンや水着で参加されると良いと思います。着替えはシャワー個室でできます^ ^
カヌーに乗っている写真も撮っていただけて、後から送ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。もし自分のスマホを持つ場合防水ケースにストラップが必須です！
由布島も水牛や小さな浜辺に美味しいジェラートと蝶たち…穏やかな時間が流れていて西表島のワイルドさとはまた違った雰囲気を味わうことができ満喫しました♪
今回悪天候でバラス島に行けなかったのですが、pipiさんでは色々なアクティビティを実施されていて違うアクティビティを選ぶことができたことも大変良かったと思いました。

I had the pleasure of being guided by the Komachan team during the mangrove canoe tour, and it was a very fulfilling experience thanks to their bright and cheerful guidance! There was a change in the itinerary due to weather conditions the day before, but they provided detailed explanations and tips about the ferry, which made me feel that this tour company is very sincere overall.

The guides were very friendly and worked well together, and I found it fascinating to hear stories about life on the islands while we were on the bus. Additionally, I was able to spot a natural monument, the crested serpent eagle, thanks to their guidance. Thank you very much for this invaluable experience!

マングローブカヌーではコマちゃんチームでお世話になりましたが、明るく楽しく案内していただきとても充実したツアー体験でした!!前日に天候による内容変更がありましたが、そういった際も詳しい説明やフェリーの注意点なども教えていただき全体を通して大変誠実なツアー会社だと感じました。
ガイドの皆さんはとても仲が良くて、連携が取れていましたし、移動中のバスの中で島での生活の話などを聞きとても面白かったです。また、天然記念物のカンムリワシを発見して教えていただき目にすることができました。貴重な体験も含め本当にありがとうございました。

Our driver patiently waited for us at the port because our disembarkation from the cruise ship took longer than expected. They also called us to double check due to the delay. Highly recommend this service when visiting Miyakojima!

We were able to see whales about every 15 minutes with the naked eye. Additionally, the staff provided explanations about the whales until we reached the viewing point, which helped reduce seasickness.

They also provided etiquette bags, and the restrooms and the interior of the boat were clean. The staff took many photos, which are uploaded to their website, so you can download beautiful images.

It feels like a roller coaster on the waves, and it shakes for about 20 minutes, so it's best not to eat for two hours before boarding.

肉眼でも15分に一回は見れました。またポイントに到着するまでもくじらについて説明をして頂き酔いが軽減されます。
エチケット袋も用意されて、トイレ、船内綺麗でした。
スタッフの方も写真を沢山撮られて、ホームページにアップされているため、綺麗が画像をダンロードできます。
波のジェットコースターみたいな感じで20分は揺れますので、乗船前2時間は食べない方が良いです。

I'm glad I was taken to the Churaumi Aquarium and Manzamo, which are difficult to reach without a car. The Pineapple Park was also larger than I expected, and I had a great time there.

車がないと行きづらい美ら海水族館や万座毛に連れて行ってもらえて良かったです。
パイナップルパークも思っていたより広くて楽しめました。

The weather forecast the day before predicted light rain, so I thought, "Well, it should be fine!" and was feeling relaxed. However, just before the experience started, it began to pour! I was feeling a bit down thinking, "SUP in this weather...," but thanks to our guide Genki's positive encouragement, saying, "Actually, it's a lucky experience that you can't have often," I thought, "That's true!" and ended up enjoying SUP. The mangroves and the heavy rain created an even more extraordinary atmosphere, making it a wonderful memory! ✨

前日の天気予報では小雨ぐらいだったので、「まぁ、大丈夫だろ〜」と呑気に考えていたら体験開始直前に大雨に！！
「こんな中でSUP…」とテンションが若干下がっていたのですが、ガイドのゲンキさんの「逆になかなか出来ない体験だからラッキー」という前向きな励ましのおかげで「たしかに…！」にと楽しんでSUPを楽しむことができました✨マングローブ&大雨で、より非日常の世界感でとても良い思い出になりました！

The driver I requested for the sightseeing taxi shared historical facts and local dialects with me. It was so much fun, and the five hours flew by in no time. I could feel the heartfelt service and the love for Miyako Island that the driver had. I definitely plan to come back to Miyako Island next year, and I intend to request the sightseeing taxi again at that time.

観光タクシーをお願いした運転手さんが、史実や現地の方言など教えてくださいました。とても楽しくて、あっという間の5時間でした。心のこもったサービスと、宮古島を大切に思っておられるお気持ちが伝わってきました。来年も必ず宮古島に来ようと思います。その時は、また観光タクシーをお願いするつもりです。

The Sefa Utaki was a great place to learn about history. I participated in a bus tour to Okinawa World over 30 years ago, but I didn't have enough time to see the snake and mongoose show or the Eisa dance show, so this time I decided to join the bus tour again to see the shows. The bus arrived before the shows started, and since we had enough time, I was able to see both the snake and mongoose show and the Eisa dance show. The Eisa dance show really captured the atmosphere of Okinawa. Due to animal welfare laws, the snake and mongoose show could no longer have them fight, so they held a swimming competition instead (laughs). My goal this time was to see both the snake and mongoose show and the Eisa dance show, so I was very satisfied with the bus tour. Lastly, I visited the snake museum, which I also didn't have time to see last time. It was great. Okinawa World was a fulfilling experience.

斎場御嶽は歴史の勉強になりました。
おきなわワ−ルドは30年以上前にバスツアーで参加し時間が無くハブとマングースのショ―とエイサーのショ―を見れなかったので今回ショ―を見たいと思いバスツアーに参加することにしました。ショ―が始まる前にバスが到着し所要持ち時間もあったのでハブとマングースのショ―とエイサーのショ―を両方を見る事が出来ました。エイサーのショ―は沖縄の雰囲気が充分に有りました。ハブとマングースのショ―は動物愛護法により戦いが出来無くなり水泳競争をやっておりました(笑)　今回の目標はハブとマングースのショ―とエイサーのショ―を両方を見る事でしたので充分に納得したバスツアーでした。あと最後にハブ博物館を見ました。これも前回見る時間が無かったので見る事が出来ました。良かったです。充実したおきなわワ−ルドでした。

I visited the Churaumi Aquarium again because I went there 30 years ago. It was crowded with families. The Ocean Expo Park, where the Churaumi Aquarium is located, is spacious. Since the time allocated for the aquarium is about 140 minutes, it's a good idea to consider your time management while walking around. Manzamo was well-maintained along the route. Nago Pineapple Park was filled with many interesting sculptures, which was enjoyable. Since lunch is not included in the course, I think it's a good idea to bring something like rice balls. The dining places and food trucks at tourist spots were very crowded, and there wasn't enough time to eat. I bought rice balls at a convenience store and brought them with me. I participated in a plan that included a barbecue dinner. They cooked it right in front of me, and it was delicious.

30年前に美ら海水族館に行ったので、また行こうと思い美ら海水族館行きました。家族連れでいっぱいでした。美ら海水族館のある海洋博公園は広いです。美ら海水族館持ち時間140分位ですので時間配分を考慮して歩くと良いです。万座毛は順路が整備されてました。名護パイナップルパークはオブジェがいっぱいで楽しめました。昼食がコ−スに含まれて無いので、おにぎり等を持参すると良いと思います。観光地の食堂、キッチンカ−等は人がいっぱいで食べる時間有りません。私はおにぎりをコンビニで買い持って行きました。夕食焼肉ディナ-付プランで参加しました。目の前で焼いてくれて、美味しくいただきました。

On the day of my visit, it was unfortunately cloudy, but I wasn't caught in heavy rain, so I was able to enjoy myself to some extent. I explored Taketomi Island by bicycle, but I felt that I could have enjoyed it even more if I had a bit more time. The ocean was very beautiful. I definitely recommend you go and see it!

当日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、大雨には降られず、それなりに楽しめました。
竹富島は自転車で回りましたが、時間が少なくもう少しあればなお良かったかなと思います。
海はとても綺麗でした。是非行ってみてください。

It was impressive.
Next time, I definitely want to participate with a SUP.
Thank you again.
Macchan, thank you for your warm hospitality.

迫力ありました。
今度はぜひSUPで参加したいです。
またよろしくお願いいたします。
まっちゃんさん、あたたかく対応していただきありがとうございました。
