All Reviews for Bus Tours

It is completely commercialized, and while the cows, which were imported from Taiwan, are carefully raised and trained for tourism, I found the driver of the cow shed who honestly explained everything to be likable. Hearing about how they work together as companions while sharing meals and living together gave me a different feeling when I got off the ride.

完全に観光化されたものであり、台湾から輸入した牛を大切に育て観光用に教育したものではあるが、返って正直に説明してくださる牛舎車の運転手に好感が持て、寝食一緒に仲間として働いているという話を乗車中に聞いて下車するときには違う感情で見れた。

I was able to efficiently sightsee on my first trip to Okinawa. The guide's explanations and personality were very good. At Okinawa World, I couldn't see the Eisa performance, but after visiting the limestone cave, I enjoyed some local beer. It's great that you can choose between the beach and Okinawa World on the day of the tour. We were indecisive until the last minute (laughs). At the Himeyuri Monument, we were in a hurry, but we were able to see the museum as well. The price was reasonable, and it was such a satisfying tour that I would want to do it again.

初めての沖縄旅行で効率よく観光できました。
ガイドさんの説明と人柄がとても良かったです。
おきなわワールドでは、エイサーは見れませんでしたが、
鍾乳洞を見たあと地ビールを堪能しました。
ビーチ・おきなわワールドとコースを当日選択できるのは良いですね。
私たちはぎりぎりまで迷いました（笑）
ひめゆりの塔では急ぎ足でしたが、資料館も見ることができました。
代金も安いですし、リピートしたくなるくらい大満足なツアーでした。

We are on board at the first stop and it take about two n half hour to pick up other travelers in different hotel.. we are arranged to sit at the last row of the bus.. we are feel uncomfortable even me vomit in the bus.. lucky one of my friend have a small plastic bag for me.. ask for the tour leader who doesn't know English.... can't communicate :((
Pineapples stop only allowed us to stay 45 min, not enough time to try on the food.. after that take 2.5 hours time to go back hotel..,.haiz！！

On the day of our visit, although it was sunny, there were quite a few clouds until sunset, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars. However, the clouds cleared up enough for us to finally look through the telescope we had been longing for. That day, at "Haimurubushi," we were able to see Betelgeuse, Sirius, the Trapezium, and Jupiter. (From the observatory, we could also faintly see Canopus.) The starry sky tour guide at the observatory was exceptional. After showing us three stars that were already rising through the telescope, she quickly showed us "4D2U" while we waited for Jupiter to rise. She used the short time very effectively to explain the arrangement of the stars and the formation of galaxies. 4D2U is a 3D celestial map that you view with special glasses, and the guide skillfully manipulated the 3D images, rotating and zooming in on the stars while explaining them. Her storytelling was excellent, and the 3D celestial map made the structure of the galaxy and the vastness of the star world very clear, which was incredibly interesting beyond my imagination. Even if the weather had been bad and we couldn't see the stars, I think we would have been quite satisfied with just the 4D2U experience at Haimurubushi, as the star guide's explanations were clear and easy to understand. The telescope at "Haimurubushi" was large and impressive, and just being inside the dome was quite moving. We were fortunate with the weather and were able to look through the telescope, witnessing the moment when the large telescope opened its mirror, slowly changing angles with mechanical sounds, and the romantic moment when the dome ceiling opened. Observing the bright light of the stars through the telescope made me feel a sense of excitement, as if I had returned to my childhood. Although it wasn't perfectly clear that day and the clouds kept moving, I was very grateful that the star guides adapted the tour content based on the conditions of the sky. As someone from Honshu, I was unaware of the seasonal changes between dry and rainy seasons, but I learned that Ishigaki Island experiences the rainy season until around March. According to the taxi driver, January and February often have cloudy and rainy weather, making it quite rare to see a beautiful starry sky. Conversely, during the dry season in summer, there are fewer clouds and rain, so the chances of seeing the stars are much higher. We also thought it would be nice to come back in the summer. Lastly, outside of the activities, I wanted to see the Southern Cross, which the star guide had introduced, so after the tour, I went out to an open area to look for it at midnight. Unfortunately, the low part of the sky was hazy, and I couldn't find it. I definitely want to come back to Ishigaki Island to see the Southern Cross.

当日、晴れてはいるものの日暮れまでやや雲が多く、星が観られるかなー、と心配をしていましたが、なんとか雲もそこそこ晴れ念願だった天体望遠鏡を覗かせてもらうことが出来ました。この日『はいむるぶし』で見せていただけた星はベテルギウス、シリウス、トラペジウムと木星でした。(天文台からうっっすらとカノープスも見えました。)天文台の星空ツアーガイドのお姉さんの手腕が素晴らしく、この日は最初にすでに昇っている星を３つ天体望遠鏡で見せて下さったあと、木星が昇るのを待つ間に『少し駆け足で』4D2Uを見せて下さったのですが、短い時間をすごく効果的に使って星の配置や銀河の成り立ちを説明して下さいました。4D2Uというのは特殊なメガネをかけて鑑賞する3D天体図のことで、星空ガイドのお姉さんが立体映像を自在に引いたり寄せたり回転させたりしながら星々の説明をして下さいました。お話しが上手なのと天体図が立体的に飛び出して見えることで銀河の構造や星の世界の果てしなさがとてもよくわかり、想像を超えて面白かったです。もし運悪く天気が悪くて星を見ることが出来なくても、4D2Uとはいむるぶし見学だけでもかなり満足出来たのではないかと思ったほど星空ガイドさんの説明は上手でわかりやすかったですし、天体望遠鏡『はいむるぶし』は大きくてかっこよくて、ドームの中に入れただけでもかなりの感動がありました。今回は天気に恵まれ天体望遠鏡を覗かせていただけたので、大きな望遠鏡が反射鏡を開く様子や機械音をたててゆっくりと角度を変える様子、そして天井のドームが開くロマンあふれる瞬間を見ることが出来ました。天体望遠鏡を覗いてハッキリと大きく見える星の光を観察した時には子供の頃に戻ったようなワクワクを感じましたよ。この日は快晴というわけではなく、雲が動き続けていたので、星空ガイドのみなさんが空の様子を見ながら臨機応変にツアーの内容を変えて対応して下さったこともとても有り難かったです。本州の人間である自分には乾季雨季の感覚が無く盲点でしたが、石垣島は3月頃まで雨季なのだそうです。タクシーの運転手さんによると、1月2月は曇天雨天がとても多く星空が綺麗に見えることはかなり少ないそうです。逆に、乾季である夏は雨や雲が少なく、高い確率で星空を見ることが出来るのではないでしょうか。私達も今度は夏にまた来たいなあと思いました。最後にアクティビティ外の話しですが、星空ガイドさんが紹介されていた南十字星を見たくてツアー終了後の深夜 南中時刻に合わせて星の見える開けた場所まで出かけましたが、この日は空の低い位置は霞がかかっていてとうとう見つけることが出来ませんでした。南十字星を見るためにも、また石垣島に来たいと思います。

Despite being late March, the day of the tour was marked by thick clouds and strong winds, which meant we had to spend our time at Kawahira Park and the tea time (originally a scenic café) without much enjoyment.

The only highlight was the Yonehara Tropical Rainforest. We took a short 10-minute stroll through the rainforest, and the well-maintained pathways made it safe for older visitors.

We departed from the bus terminal at 2 PM with a group of 11. We made stops at four locations, including a café, and returned to the bus terminal at 5:30 PM, arriving 20 minutes early due to the bad weather. The afternoon course does not go via the airport.

The guide was kind, and we were able to comfortably visit the attractions, so it wasn't bad at all. However, I believe that poor weather inevitably lowers the overall satisfaction.

　３月下旬にもかかわらず、ツアー当日は、厚い曇り空と風が強かったので、せっかくの川平公園もティータイム（本来は絶景カフェ）も時間を持て余してしまいました。
　唯一、良かったのは米原熱帯原生林でしょうか。原生林を１０分程度散策しますが、歩道が整備されているので年配の方でも安心です。
　１１人で１４時にバスターミナルを出発。カフェを含めて４箇所を下車観光し、バスターミナルに戻ってきたのは１７時３０分。お天気が悪かったので２０分早く到着しました。午後コースは空港を経由しません。
　ガイドさんも親切で、快適に見所を回れるなど、決して悪いくはないのですが、お天気が悪いとどうしても満足度は低くなると思います。

I was able to efficiently explore Ishigaki Island until my departure time at the airport and make good use of my time. I also enjoyed a delicious lunch. I hope there will be a similar tour in the afternoon that aligns with the arrival at the airport around noon.

帰りの空港出発の時間まで効率よく石垣島をめぐり時間を
有効に使えました。
お昼も美味しく頂きました。
昼空港到着に合わせて、午後発の同様のツアーがあれば
と思います。

We, who cannot drive, decided to head north on this bus tour. At Ryukyu Mura, we played with some of Japan's largest butterflies, and at Nago Pineapple Park, we enjoyed rides and had fun beyond just the aquarium. Above all, being able to sleep while traveling is the best!

車を運転できない私たち、こちらのバスツアーで北部に向かうことにしました。
琉宮城は日本最大級の蝶とたわむれ、ナゴパイナップルパークはライドに乗って移動し、水族館以外も楽しめました。なにより眠っていけるのが最高です

We toured the southern region, which is difficult to access without a car, with a friendly female guide. Despite being budget-friendly, the tour provided thorough explanations and covered key destinations, deepening our understanding of southern Okinawa.

感じのよい女性のガイドさんとともに、自動車がないとアクセスしにくい南部方面をめぐりました。格安なのに、きちんと説明や訪問先がおさえられており、沖縄南部への理解が深まったツアーとなりました。

Since we stayed near the port, we took a stroll to the meeting place.

We greeted the statue of Gushiken in the port. The sea was a beautiful blue and crystal clear, allowing us to see the bottom.

Off to Taketomi! We arrived in about 30 minutes.
From the port of Taketomi, we took a bus.
First up was the water buffalo cart, gently swaying while enjoying the pleasant background music of the sanshin. The guide's stories were also very informative.
Next, we went cycling, visiting various sightseeing spots on the island and stopping by cafes along the way.
Everyone seemed to be heading back to Ishigaki Island.

I think it's a great recommendation for those visiting Taketomi for the first time!

港近くに宿泊だったのでお散歩がてら集合場所へ＾＾

I participated alone, but the tour was structured in a way that allowed me to move to each boarding point with my own tickets for the boat, water buffalo, and bus, so I didn't have to worry too much about others. Each stop had a well-defined schedule, allowing for an efficient island tour! I chose the rental bicycle plan on Taketomi Island, but it was such a beautiful place that I decided to forgo the rental bicycle (there's no refund for the rental) and walked almost all the way around Taketomi Island. Each island had its own personality, and it was a lot of fun!

一人参加でしたが、ツアーは船、水牛、バス等のチケットを持って各乗り場へ自分で移動する形式でしたので他の方にあまり気を使わず参加することができました。
各滞在場所も時間がきちんと確保されて降り効率よく島巡りをすることができました！
竹富島はレンタルサイクルのプランを選択したのですが、あまりにも素敵な場所でしたので、レンタルサイクルは辞め(レンタルサイクル分の返金はありません)徒歩で竹富島をほぼ一周しました。
どの島も個性があり大変楽しかったです！

We participated with two adults and three children. I was worried about the frequent transfers, but all the connections were arranged with almost no waiting time, and I didn't feel any stress or fatigue at all.

The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was particularly popular with the kids. For the adults, it was impressive to explore the mangroves by boat on Iriomote Island.

We also chose the water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island, but if you're not worried about physical stamina, walking around might allow you to see the town more thoroughly. When we took the water buffalo cart, there was only about a 10-minute gap before the bus back to the port, so we couldn't walk around and see the town of Taketomi. I heard that walking around the village takes about 15-20 minutes.

Overall, it was a great tour that allowed us to cover the key points of the surrounding islands from Ishigaki Island in a limited time.

大人２人、子供３人で参加しました。移動が多いので心配でしたが、全ての乗換えがほぼ待ち時間無しでアレンジされており、全くストレスや疲れを感じませんでした。
特に、由布島へ行く水牛車が子供たちには好評でした。大人には、西表島でマングローブを船で見て回れたのが感動しました。
竹富島でも水牛車観光を選んだのですが、体力面で心配がなければ、歩いて回った方が町並みをしっかり見られていいかも。水牛車に乗って観光すると、帰りの港までのバスとの間隔が10分くらいしかなく、竹富島の町並みを歩いて見ることができませんでした。歩いても集落を一周15-20分くらいとのことでしたので。
全体として、限られた時間で石垣島を起点に離島をポイントをおさえて回れて、とてもいいツアーでした。

It was very convenient to be able to tour in half a day and be taken back to the airport.
Seifu-taki was quite deep in the mountains and the footing was poor.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have enough time to see everything at Okinawa World.
The Okinawa show was great!
At the Himeyuri Monument, I felt the history that should not be forgotten.
All entrance fees were paid on the day.
The prices were low, and considering the transportation costs to the airport, it was a great deal! Highly recommended!
However, the bus driving was not very good, and it was quite bumpy, which made me feel nauseous.

観光が半日で回れて、帰りは空港へ送って頂けるのでとても便利でした。
せーふぅたきはかなり山の中で足元が悪かったです。
おきなわワールドは、時間がなく、全部回れないのが少し残念でした。
沖縄のショーは良かったです！
ひめゆりの塔は、忘れてはいけない歴史が感じられました。
入場料は全て当日支払い。
価格も安く、空港までの交通費を考えたらとてもお得です！オススメ‼️
ただバスの運転があまりよくなくて、かなり揺れて酔いました。

I had half a day until my flight, so I signed up for this bus tour that included the Sefa Utaki, which I wanted to visit. Unfortunately, it was raining, but Sefa Utaki was beautifully green, and the breeze was pleasant, making it a very comfortable place. I chose the beach option and enjoyed a leisurely meal at a café. Due to the rain and low tide, I couldn't see the beautiful sea, but if it had been sunny, it would have been nice to ride a glass-bottom boat. After moving from the beach, some people got off at Okinawa World for sightseeing, but since I was leaving in the afternoon, I went straight to see the Peace Memorial Park and was dropped off at the airport. I arrived at the airport at 1 PM. This tour is efficient for sightseeing and reasonably priced, so I recommend it for those who want to explore the southern part of Okinawa.

帰りの飛行機まで半日時間があったので、
行きたかった斎場御嶽がコースに入っているこちらのバスツアーに申し込みました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、斎場御嶽は緑が美しく、風が心地よく吹く、とても居心地の良い場所でした。
選択コースはビーチを選び、カフェでゆっくり食事を楽しみました。雨で干潮だったので、綺麗な海は見れませんでしたが、晴れていたらグラスボートに乗ってみるのも良さそうです。ビーチから移動した後、おきなわワールドで下車して観光する人もいましたが、私は午後帰るためそのままひめゆりの塔を見て空港で降ろしてもらいました。空港着が13時。
効率よく観光できて価格も安いので、南部をまわりたい人にはおすすめのツアーです。

It was raining from the morning. I managed to see the seabed with the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay... After that, I just stayed on the bus. I wish they had a separate plan for rainy weather. I was disappointed. It might be better to check the weather forecast a couple of days before making a reservation.

朝から雨が降っていました。川平湾のグラスボートで海底を見たところまでは何とか・・・
あとは、バスに乗ったままでした。
降雨のプランを別に立ててほしかった。
がっかりしました。
２，３日前に、天気予報を確認してから申し込んだほうが良いかも。

Due to heavy rain and strong winds, most people didn't even get off the bus to see the entrance of the jungle, and at Kabira Bay, we only looked for a minute before returning to the bus. At the first cemetery, no one got off, and I couldn't understand the purpose of the tour.

大雨強風で、ジャングルは入口見るだけで降りない人がほとんどだし川平湾も1分見てバスに戻る始末。最初のお墓にいたっては、誰も降りずなんのためのツアーなのかわかりませんでした。

There were limited tours available from Chatan and Onna Village to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I signed up for this tour. At the price of 4,800 yen, which included lunch, it was a well-rounded tour, and I was very glad I signed up. They picked me up on time, and the guide was very attentive and pleasant, making my first experience in Okinawa enjoyable. The bus was full with about 50 people. I was also happy to receive the souvenirs, including chinsuko and pineapple sorbet. Everyone acted on time, so there was no stress from waiting for anyone and being late. If you're unsure and wondering what to do for a day, I recommend signing up.

北谷や恩納村から美ら海水族館まで行けるツアーは限られていたので、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
4,800円というお値段で、お昼もついていて、内容充実のツアーで、結果申し込んで大正解でした。
時間通りに迎えにきてもらえましたし、ガイドの方がとても気が利いて、感じが良くて、初めての沖縄を楽しく終えることが出来ました。50名程度のバスも満席でした。
おみやげに頂いたちんすこうやパイナップルシャーベットも嬉しかったです。
皆さん時間通りに行動されていたので、誰かを待って遅れたという、ストレスもありませんでした。
もし迷っていて、1日何しようかなと考えるなら、申し込むことをおすすめします。

I was a bit anxious before participating because I thought I wouldn't have the same guide throughout, but it turned out to be no problem at all, and I had a lot of fun. The only thing that concerned me was that we had to wait in line to cross to Yufuin Island because it coincided with a group of tourists. I was surprised to see so many water buffalo there. There was a tea house along the coast of Yufuin Island, and their gelato was delicious. I would love to visit Taketomi Island again.

ずっと同じガイドが同行するわけじゃないので、参加前は若干不安だったけど、全然問題なく、盛り沢山で楽しめた。
唯一気になったのは団体客と時間が被ったので、由布島に渡る時の順番待ちが気になったことくらい。あんなにいっぱい水牛がいるとは思わなかったのでビックリした。由布島の海沿いに茶屋があり、そこのジェラードが美味しかったです。
竹富島ももう一回行ってみたい。

The day I participated, there were fewer than 10 people, which was great because it allowed for efficient guidance. The color of Kabira Bay was beautiful. I was lucky with the weather as well.

参加した日は人数も10名以下で多すぎず、効率良く案内してもらえて良かった。川平湾の色が綺麗だった。天候に恵まれたのもラッキーだった。

Churaumi Aquarium was incredibly moving. The vibrant appearance of the corals, which are growing large solely with natural light, was wonderful. While the whale sharks often steal the spotlight, I wish more people would pay attention to such amazing corals. The sea turtles and manatees are also adorable. The 150 minutes of visiting time was too short. The guide was also very good.

美ら海水族館、大感動でした。自然の光だけで大きく育っているサンゴの生き生きとした姿、すばらしかったです。ジンベエザメばかりが評判になりますが、こんなにすばらしいサンゴをもっと多くの人にも注目してほしいです。ウミガメもマナティもかわいいですね。１５０分の見学時間は短すぎました。
ガイドさんもとてもよかったです。

It costs over 800 yen one way by route bus from Naha to Sefa Utaki, so it's a good deal.

Since it's inexpensive, the entrance fee is not included.

If you're sightseeing in the morning, you can be taken to the airport, so if your flight is in the afternoon, I think it's a good deal.

I was taken to Kencho-mae, where I ate Shuri Soba and did some sightseeing around Shuri Castle.

那覇から斎場御嶽まで路線バスで片道800円以上掛かりますのでお得です。
安いので入園料は含まれていません。

午前の観光なら、空港へ送ってもらえるので午後の飛行機で時間が合えば
お得だと思います。

私は、県庁前まで送ってもらい、
首里ソバを食べ、首里城周辺の観光をしました。

This time, I decided to take this bus tour for a relaxing experience. The bus tour offered a choice between New Hama Beach and Okinawa World, and since I had never been to the Peace Memorial Park, I signed up. On the day of the tour, it rained, so I gave up on New Hama Beach and went to Okinawa World instead. Seifa Utaki had few tourists and felt mystical. Since it was my second time at Okinawa World, I only watched the Super Eisa performance. I think it's impossible to see the caves, the world, and the Eisa in just one hour. The visit to the Peace Memorial Park also felt rushed. I enjoyed listening to the bus guide's stories, and it was educational. I was disappointed not to go to New Hama Beach, but I would like to sign up again if I have the opportunity. The price was also affordable and easy on the wallet.

今回は、楽をしようとこの、バス旅行を頼みました。この、バス旅行は新原ビーチか沖縄ワールドが選べるしひめゆりの塔は行ったことがないので、申し込みました。当日は、雨で新原ビーチは、諦めて沖縄ワールドにしました。せーふぁうたきは、観光客も少なく神秘的な感じでした。沖縄ワールドは、2回目なので、スーパーエイサーだけを見学しました。多分、鍾乳洞からワールド、エイサーを1時間で見学は、無理だと思います。ひめゆりの塔も駆け足で見学する感じでした。バスガイドさんの話しは、楽しく聞く事でき勉強になりました。新原ビーチに行けなかったのは、残念でしたが又、機会があったら申し込みしたいと思います。値段も安く、財布に優しいですよ。

The bus tour was very fulfilling, allowing us to visit famous places in Okinawa, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, all in one day! The guide provided explanations about various spots along the way, as well as insights into Okinawan dialect and culture, which was very interesting. I was particularly impressed by the experience of playing an instrument called the sanba and learning the sign language for "Nadasoso." The guide was very easy to talk to, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

It's not an exaggeration to say that this plan allowed us to fully enjoy Okinawa. It was my first time visiting, and I was able to experience Okinawa to the fullest. It became a wonderful memory; thank you very much!

美ら海水族館をはじめとして沖縄の有名な場所を一日で回ることができ、とても充実したバスツアーでした！
ガイドさんから目的地に着くまでの道のりにある色々なスポットの説明があったり、沖縄の方言や文化などについて説明があったりして大変面白かったです。特に三板と呼ばれる楽器の体験ができたり、「なだそうそう」の手話を教えてもらえたりしたことが印象的でした。ガイドさんはとても話しやすい方で色々お話しできたのも楽しかったです。
沖縄を存分に満喫できるといっても過言ではないようなプランで、初めて沖縄に行ったのですが、沖縄を十二分に楽しむことができました。とてもいい思い出になりました、ありがとうございました！

Due to the nature of Okinawa, it is undeniable that the weather can be a factor, but surprisingly, you can get a good overview by circling around Ishigaki Island, enjoy a delicious lunch, and experience a cost-effective sightseeing bus. The elderly male guide's storytelling, interspersed with traditional Okinawan music and songs, is exquisite.
As for the highlights, the first stop, the Tomb of the Chinese, felt like just a mere monument and seemed unnecessary. The time spent there should be allocated for free time at Kabira Bay instead. The other choices are good.

　沖縄という場所の性格上、天候に左右される面は否定できないのですが、意外に大きな石垣島を一周して概要がつかめるし、おいしい昼食がいただける、コストパフォーマンスのいい観光バス。年配の男性ガイドさんの、三線と唄を交えたおしゃべりが絶妙。
　見どころでは、最初に訪問する唐人墓だけが、単なる記念碑にしか思えず蛇足と感じました。滞在時間は川平湾での自由行動に振り分けるべきでは。その他はいい選択です。

You can leisurely explore by ox cart.

I found it interesting to hear about the relationships of the cows and the village. Since it's an island where time flows slowly, the speed of the ox cart feels just right.

It's a small island, so I was able to visit Kondoi Beach, Kaiji Beach, and the West Pier as well.

牛車でのんびり回れます。

牛の交友関係や集落の説明など、面白く聞けました。
時間がゆったり流れる島なので、牛車のスピードがちょうど合う感じ

小さな島なので、コンドイ浜やカイジ浜、西桟橋も回れました。

This time, I went on a 3-night, 4-day island-hopping trip in Okinawa. I was really looking forward to the island tour, but unfortunately, the weather was mostly rainy or drizzly from the first day until the end, which greatly disappointed my expectations. We also had to cancel the glass-bottom boat tour. The meals at the hotel were also not great. I've heard that the weather in Okinawa is good in the fall, so I would like to try visiting again around that time.

今回は３泊4日で沖縄の離島めぐりに行ってきました。
とても楽しみに待ってた離島めぐりでした‥が1日目から帰りまでのほとんど天候は雨、小雨　と期待は大きく裏切られた。グラスボートもキャンセルせざるを得ませんでした。ホテルの食事内容も今一。沖縄は秋が天候が良いと言う事ですので次回は秋頃にもう一度行ってみたいと思います。

I was glad that Ishigaki Island could be explored compactly. However, I was disappointed with the coral reefs at Kabira Bay after taking the glass-bottom boat, as they weren't as beautiful as I had expected. I got off at the airport on the morning course, but I had too much time until my flight at 4:30 PM, which felt like a waste. Also, if the afternoon course started a bit later, I think I could have participated on the day of arrival and made it more efficient.

石垣島がコンパクトに廻れて良かった。ただ川平湾の珊瑚礁を期待してグラスボートに乗ったが思ったほどではなく、もう少しきれいなものと思っていただけに残念だった。午前コースで空港で下車したが16時半の飛行機まで時間があり過ぎもったいなかった。また,午後のコースがもう少し遅いスタートならば到着日に参加でて効率よく行けたと思う。

I used the water buffalo cart and rental bicycle set. I was worried about the weather, but despite the cloudy skies, it didn't rain. When I arrived at Taketomi Island by ferry, I was greeted by a bus. Since it was the first morning on a weekday, I felt a bit guilty being the only one.

Pulled by the water buffalo, we leisurely traveled for about 30 minutes, enjoying the guide's explanations and songs. I was a bit anxious about the rental bicycle not having a lock, but I was reassured that "there are no police or thieves," and if there were any punctures or theft, they would bring a replacement, which is a service you don't find elsewhere, so I felt secure.

It was unfortunate that the glass-bottom boat I wanted to enjoy was canceled due to strong winds. Booking the glass-bottom boat set might carry a bit of risk.

水牛車とレンタサイクルのセットを利用しました。
天気が心配でしたが曇天ながらも雨には降られず、フェリーで竹富島に着いたところでバスのお出迎え、平日の朝一番だったので自分一人で申し訳なかったです。
水牛に引かれてのんびりと30分弱ですか、ガイドの方の説明や唄などで楽しませてもらいました。
レンタサイクルは鍵がないのがちょっと不安でしたが「警察署も泥棒もいない」とのことで、パンクや盗難があった場合は連絡をすれば代わりを持ってきてくれる、なんてサービスは他にはありませんので安心できます。
風が強くてセット以外ですがグラスボートを楽しもうとしたのが欠航だったのが残念、グラスボートのセットを予約するのはちょっとリスクがあるかもしれません。

This was my first visit to Okinawa, so I signed up for this tour that allows you to explore the southern part of Okinawa in half a day. The time spent at each location is a bit short, but it was very convenient to see the highlights of the south in just half a day. On the way back, you return to Naha City via the airport, so you can go straight to your flight. I spent the afternoon sightseeing in Naha City and visiting Shuri Castle.

今回は初めての沖縄訪問だったので，沖縄南部を半日で回れるこのツアーに申し込みました．
各場所の滞在時間は少し短いけど，南部のハイライトを半日で回れるのでとても便利でした．帰りには空港経由で那覇市内に戻るので，そのまま帰りの飛行機に乗るもよし．私は午後は那覇市内・首里城観光に充てました．

The bus guide's stories were very interesting and entertaining! In the latter part of the trip, it started to rain, but the driver and the bus guide lent us umbrellas. They took care of everything! It was a wonderful trip! Thank you very much! I would like to use this service again when I travel to Okinawa!

バスガイドさんのお話がとても興味深く、また面白かったです！
旅の後半、雨が降り出してしまったのですが運転手さんとバスガイドさんが傘を貸し出してくださいました。何から何までお世話になりました！とても良い旅になりました！ありがとうございました！
また沖縄旅行する際は利用したいです♪

Was a really great way to be able to see some of the island's attractions that were further away from Naha as we weren't able to hire a car. Really great tour, lovely guides, would recommend to anyone looking to experience Okinawa!
