All Reviews for Bus Tours

We went as a family starting from February 15. We were able to sit at the very front of the water buffalo cart, listened to the sanshin, and the weather was great, so it was the best experience. The water buffalo cart, Upper-kun, was big... good job! I was surprised at how many tourists there were even on a weekday. It's February, after all...

2/15から家族で行きました。水牛車の一番前に座れて三線も聞けてお天気もよかったし最高でした。水牛車アッパー君大きかった・・・おつかれさま　平日でも観光めっちゃ多くてびっくりでした。2月やのに...

You can efficiently enjoy island hopping.
At the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, you can pick up tickets for the boat and meals before departing on your own.
First, take a comfortable, spacious high-speed boat for 40 minutes, followed by a cruise on the Nakama River in Iriomote Island, and then visit Yubu Island by water buffalo, where you can enjoy a meal.
The meal was an Okinawan cuisine bento, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the singing of the sea's voice while on the water buffalo.

離島めぐりを効率よく楽しめます。
石垣島の離島ターミナルで船や食事などの切符を受け取って各自で出発。
最初は新しくて広い快適な高速船で40分、西表島の仲間川クルーズ、水牛で由布島、食事。
食事は沖縄料理のお弁当で、水牛では海の声歌付きで雰囲気ありました。

On the second day of my 2-day trip to Okinawa, since my flight was in the afternoon, I was torn between relaxing at the hotel or making the most of my time in Okinawa. I decided to book a plan with an earlier meeting time. After visiting the Sefa Utaki, I had the option to choose my next activity, and since the weather was nice, I opted for the sea. I used a discount coupon provided by the guide to ride a glass-bottom boat. It was a private experience with just two guests, and I enjoyed chatting with the boat driver. After getting off at the airport, I was able to have lunch and do some shopping. It was a great deal for sightseeing and getting dropped off at the airport.

1泊2日での沖縄の2日目。搭乗便が15時台でしたので、ホテルでゆっくり過ごすか迷いましたが、せっかくの沖縄でしたので有効に過ごそうと思い、集合時間が比較的早いプランでしたが予約しました。斎場御嶽後は選択ができるプランで、お天気が良かったので海を選びました。ガイドさんからいただいた割引券を使いグラスボートに乗りました。お客さんは2人だけの貸切状態で、船の運転手さんとの会話も楽しかったです。空港で下車して昼食を食べお買い物もできました。観光、空港下車とお得な料金でした。

I participated with my child. We were able to efficiently visit Seifa Utaki, Shinbaru Beach, and the Himeyuri Monument in a short time. The bus guide's narration was also great. The price was affordable and a good deal. I recommend it.

子供と二人で参加しました。短時間で斎場御嶽、新原ビーチ、ひめゆりの塔を効率よくまわれました。バスガイドさんのお話もよかったです。値段もお安くお得でした。おすすめします。

I had a very meaningful time! The guide was quick and very good at talking, which made it enjoyable. I will use this service again.

とても、有意義に過ごせました！
ガイドさんもテキパキとてもお話し上手で楽しかったです(´ ˘ `∗)
また利用させて頂きます。

Kawahirawan and Tamatorizaki Observatory were truly impressive. I enjoyed a delicious lunch with local cuisine and craft beer. It was also great to have a stopover at Ishigaki Airport, which helped save time.

川平湾や玉取埼展望台はさすがに感動しました。
昼食も地元食と地ビールで頂き美味しく頂きました。
石垣空港で途中下車が出来たのも時間の短縮で良かった。

I rode a sightseeing bus for the first time in a while, and it was great! The guide's stories were really good.

I was able to make the most of the morning, and the price was truly appreciated, thank you!

観光バス、久々に乗りましたが、いいですね！
ガイドさんのお話がとてもよかったです。

午前中を無駄なく活用でき、お値段も、本当にありがとうございます笑

When I specified a leisurely time in the morning, the hotel came to pick me up right on schedule. The water buffalo cart tour was enjoyable thanks to the guide's excellent explanations. I was also free to choose my return time, so I explored the island by rental bicycle and had lunch. After that, they took me to Taketomi Port in time for my boat. Once I arrived at Ishigaki Port, I strolled around Ishigaki City for about an hour and was able to take the next bus back to the hotel. I was able to enjoy free time at various locations and had a great experience with a tour that wasn't rigidly structured.

朝ゆっくりの時間を指定すると、ホテルに定刻通りに迎えに来てくれた。
水牛車の観光はガイドさんの説明が良く楽しめた。
帰りの時間も自由に選べたので、レンタル自転車で島内巡りをし、昼食をとった。
その後、船の時間に合わせ竹富港まで送ってくれた。
石垣港に着いた後、１時間ほど石垣市街地を散歩し、次のバスでホテルに送ってもらえた。各所で自由な時間をとることができ、お仕着せでないツアーを楽しむことができた。

I used this service on my way back to Tokyo. It was great to be able to make a quick round of the sightseeing spots on Ishigaki Island, and it was also nice to be able to drop off at the airport. The weather wasn't perfectly clear, as it was cloudy, but it was still good for sightseeing in that area. The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay is optional, but I recommend taking the ride if possible. I was able to see turtles.

東京への帰路中に利用しました。石垣島内の観光名所を短時間で一周でき、また、空港で離脱もでき良かったです。天候も快晴ではなく雲でしたが、その場所での観光では良くなり良かったです。川平湾のガラスボードはオプションですが出来るかぎり乗船した方がいい。カメを見ることができました。

I was able to efficiently visit the spots on Ishigaki Island, and the guide's explanations were clear and helpful. It was perfect for sightseeing on the last day since we could stop at Ishigaki Airport along the way.

石垣島のスポットを効率的に見て回ることができ、ガイドさんの話もわかりやすくて良かったです。石垣空港で途中下車できるので最終日の観光にぴったりでした。

I thought the guide's assistance was excellent. Although we couldn't relax due to time constraints, it was a satisfying tour.

ガイドさんの案内が非常に良かったと思います。時間的な制約があるのでのんびりできませんでしたが、満足のツアーでした。

At the World Heritage Site of Sefa Utaki, I was able to experience Okinawa during the Ryukyu Kingdom era. At the Himeyuri Monument, I felt the sorrow of many students who became victims of the tragic war. I want to go again.

世界遺産の斎場御嶽、沖縄worldでは、琉球王国時代の沖縄を体感できた。また、ひめゆりの塔では悲しい戦争で犠牲になった沢山の学徒の悔しさを感じることが出来た。また、行きたいです。

It was cloudy on the day, with rain repeating. The aquarium was nice, but getting caught in the rain afterward was tough. Still, strangely, the color of the sea was a beautiful emerald green that saved the day. However, I had to give up on the salespeople at the Okashi Goten; they were too loud! I would appreciate it if they could refrain from selling before the tastings. As the title suggests, the guide's performance of Okinawan songs while playing the sanshin was wonderful! The guide also added humor and explained the points clearly, allowing us to learn about Okinawa. The sign language included in "Nada Sousou" was great. The trip, which had been gloomy, was saved by the guide. Next time, I will join again on a sunny day.

当日は曇り、雨のくり返し。水族館はいいのですが雨に降られると後は辛い。
それでも不思議な事に海の色が緑（エメラルドグリーン）美しさに救われました。
ただ御菓子御殿の売り込みの店員にはギブアップうるさすぎる！試食をする前に売り込みは勘弁です。タイトルにあるとおりガイドさんの三線をひきながらの沖縄の歌は素晴らしかったです！それにガイドに笑いありでポイントをしっかり説明して頂き沖縄を知ることが出来ました。手話を交えた『なだそうそう』良かったです。ゆううつだった旅もガイドさんに救われました。今度は天気のいい日にまた参加しますね。

I participated on the last day. It was great to have a guide's explanation in the car, and it was good to go around at a low cost in a short time.

I chose Shinbara Beach. I was blessed with good weather and was healed by the calm sea.

最終日に参加しました。
車内でガイドさんの説明もあり、格安で短時間でまわれて良かったです。

新原ビーチを選択しました。
天気に恵まれ、穏やかな海に癒されました。

For our half-day visit to Taketomi Island, we didn't feel any inconvenience with the ferry service, as it operated the same number of times as other companies. We were able to take our time enjoying activities like riding water buffalo and sightseeing around the island.

　竹富島に半日だけの予定の私たちには、船便も他社と同じ回数で不便を感じませんでした。
水牛にのったり、島を観光したりとゆっくり過ごせました。

It was a trip with my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter and three generations of our family. We were able to fully enjoy the unique experiences of Mishima, and it was a lot of fun! There wasn't much wasted time, so my little daughter was able to enjoy herself as well. The sanshin music on the water buffalo cart was great!

2才10か月の娘と三世代での旅でした。
三島それぞれの楽しさを満喫できて、とても楽しかったです！時間にも待ち時間など無駄があまりなくて、小さい娘も楽しめました。水牛車の方の三線よかったです☆

I have been to Okinawa several times, but on the last day, I had some free time in the morning and decided to use this tour since I had never been to Sefa Utaki and the price was very reasonable. Sefa Utaki felt like a power spot and had a majestic presence. The Himeyuri Monument reminded me of a school trip. I chose Okinawa World as an optional activity, and even though it was my second time at Gyokusendo Cave, it was still impressive. The designated hotel option was convenient, and they even dropped us off at the airport at the end, which was very helpful.

　沖縄は何度か行っているのですが、最終日午前中に時間が空いており、
斎場御嶽は行ったことがなく、値段も格安でしたので、こちらのツアーを
利用しました。斎場御嶽はパワースポットという感じで威厳がありました。
ひめゆりの塔は修学旅行の感じがしました。ＯＰでおきなわワールドを
選択しましたが、玉泉洞は２度目でしたが、見応えありました。
指定ホテルも可能ですし、最後なら空港でも降ろしてくれるので
非常に便利でした。

This Bus Tour was excellent! Our family enjoyed it very much. We split our week between Naha and Onna cities. We took the bus from Kencho-mae in Naha with our luggages to the Churaumi Aquarium and got dropped off at Rizzan Seapark Tancha Bay. This took care of our transportation between Naha to Onna. Very nice Tour guide and bus driver. We would definitely use Veltra again when we go to Okinawa. Thank you!!

About 15 minutes from Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal, upon landing at Taketomi Port, a shuttle bus is waiting to take you to the center of the village located almost in the middle of the island. After about 5 minutes, you arrive at the place where the water buffalo carts depart, and from there, a 30-minute water buffalo cart tour begins. You progress between traditional Yaeyama buildings characterized by coral stone walls and red-tiled roofs. The classic "Asiriya Yunta" is sung by the driver and guide accompanied by the sanshin, filling the journey with a sense of adventure. It's significantly cheaper than paying for the ferry and water buffalo cart tour separately.

石垣港離島ターミナルから約１５分、竹富港に上陸すると、島のほぼ中央にある集落の中心に向かう送迎バスが待っている。５分ほどで水牛車の発着する場所に到着し、そこから約３０分の水牛車観光が始まる。サンゴの石を積み重ねた垣根と赤瓦の屋根が特徴な八重山の伝統的な建物の間を進む。定番の「安里屋ユンタ」も御者兼ガイドさんが三線の伴奏で唄って、一気に旅情が満たされる旅となりました。船代と水牛車観光を別々に支払うよりかなり格安。

It was a very efficient tour that allowed us to visit Taketomi Island, Iriomote Island, and Yufu Island. I hope to participate in various tours again if the opportunity arises.

竹富島、西表島、由布島を効率的にまわることができ非常に効率的なツアーでした。また機会があれば色々なツアーに参加させて頂ければと考えております

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I applied for the tour without hesitation. The content was fulfilling and it was very good. However, since I chose the bus tour on Taketomi Island, I wished I could have taken it a bit slower.

初めての石垣島だったので、迷いなくツアー申し込みをしました。内容も充実していて、とてもよかったです。ただ竹富島はバス観光を選んだので、もう少しゆっくりしたかったです。

I think renting a bicycle is the best option on Taketomi Island since it's a small island. Unfortunately, the weather during my visit wasn't great, so I couldn't enjoy the scenery, but I was able to relax. I was impressed by the Ryukyu architecture under construction that I included in the photo; I'm not sure if it's a private home or commercial, but it's a style that you rarely get to see.

竹富島は狭い島なのでレンタサイクルがベストだと思います。今回の良好ではあいにくの天気で景色どころではなかったですが、のんびりと過ごすことが出来ました。写真に載せた建築中の琉球建築は民家か商用かは不明ですが滅多に観ることが出来ない様式に感動しました。

On the tour date of February 3rd, there were many foreign participants, and it felt like I was part of a foreign tour. The guide was very articulate, and the driver provided a comfortable ride, which made me very satisfied. We were able to sightsee efficiently, and the price was reasonable, which was great. If I have the opportunity to hear the sound of the sanshin in the future, I think I will remember this tour. It left a deep impression on me.

ツアー参加日は、2/3が外国人の方で、何だか外国人ツアーに参加したようでした。お話のお上手なガイドさんと 心地良い運転のドライバーさんで、大満足でした。効率よく観光でき、料金もお値打ちで良かったです。今後、三線の音色を耳にする機会があるとすれば、このツアーを思い出すと思います。それ程、印象深いものになりました。

This is my fourth time participating, timed to match the departure of the flight.
You can't complain about being able to do this much sightseeing at such a low price.
But am I a rain man? I've encountered rain three times.
Make sure to bring a folding umbrella just in case!

飛行機の出発時間に合わせ今回が4度目の参加。
低価格でこれだけ観光できるので文句なしです。
ただ雨男？3回も雨にアタッてます。
いざという時の為に折り畳み傘は必ず持参しましょう！！

I participated with the purpose of visiting the Himeyuri Monument. The place I stopped by, Sefa Utaki, was great. I arrived early, and I really liked the calm atmosphere. It was a bit disappointing that the tour was quite busy, as we arrived at the airport by noon.

ひめゆりの塔を目的に参加しました。
立ち寄ったところでは斎場御嶽がよかったです。到着した時間もはやく、落ち着いた雰囲気が気に入りました。
昼には空港に到着というツアーでかなり忙しいのは残念でした。

I have visited Okinawa Prefecture for tourism several times in the past, but this time, I participated in the Okinawa Regular Sightseeing Bus for the first time. Considering the number of spots we visited for a day trip, I was mindful of the time for my return flight. Of course, as mentioned in the tour's guidelines, I made sure to participate with more than two hours of buffer time before my flight. The bus guide consistently reminded passengers to adhere to the sightseeing schedule, allowing us to move to the next spot with plenty of time, which was very reassuring. Thank you to the guide and the driver. If I have the chance, I would like to participate in another course as well.

過去十数回、沖縄県に観光に来ていますが今回、沖縄定期観光バスに始めて参加しました。日帰りツアーの割りには訪れるスポットが多いので帰りの飛行機の時間を気にしながら参加しましたむろん、ツアーの注意事項にありました通りに飛行機の時間は２時間以上の余裕をみての参加でした。バスガイドさんが乗客に観光時間を厳守するように毎回呼びかけて下さり、余裕をもって次の観光スポットへの移動ができて大安心な工程で周れることができました。ガイドさん運転手さん有難うございました。また、チャンスがあれば別のコースにも参加してみたいと思います。

We left the hotel at 7:30 AM and arrived at Naha Airport as scheduled at 1:00 PM. We were able to board our flight at 1:40 PM without any rush. I was satisfied just to have joined the tour to visit "Seifa Utaki." All entrance fees and other costs are to be purchased individually on-site. There were some people who arrived late for the departure time, but it seems that the schedule accounted for that. This tour may not be suitable for those who want to take their time sightseeing at various locations.

ホテルを7時30分に出発してから予定通り13時には那覇空港に到着
慌てることなく13時40分発の飛行機にも乗れました。
「斎場御嶽(せーふぁうたき)」に行きたくて申し込んだツアーだったのでそれだけで満足です。
入園料等はすべて現地で各自購入します。
出発時間に遅れてくる方々もいらっしゃいましたがそれも見越しての時間配分だったようです。
各所をゆっくり観光したいという方には向きません。

I was thinking about how to spend half a day until my afternoon flight when I found this bus tour and decided to join. The time allocation allows for a thorough look at the attractions, so the satisfaction level for this price is very high! After all, it's very reassuring to enjoy the sights on a sightseeing bus without having to drive a rental car, while listening to the guide's explanations! I was able to fully enjoy the scenery from the window!

午後の飛行機までの半日をどうしようか考えていたところ、このバスツアーを見つけ参加しました。
名所もじっくり見れる時間配分なのでこのお値段で満足度は非常に高いでしょう！
何せ自分でレンタカー運転せずに観光バスでゆったり、ガイドさんの説明を聞きながらなのでとても安心です！車窓からの景色をしっかり楽しめました！

The mangrove cruise does feel a bit rushed, but I think it's good for those who don't want to paddle a canoe or don't have the stamina. The ox cart was cute with the oxen, and I enjoyed listening to the sanshin music, which made me very satisfied. The awamori gelato at the café on Yufu Island was delicious.

マングローブクルーズは駆け足感が否めませんが、カヌーに乗りたくない体力のない方や疲れたくない方には良いかと思います。
牛車は牛が可愛いし、三線も聞けて、大変満足しました。
由布島にあるカフェの泡盛のジェラートが美味しかった。

Since the places I want to visit are included in this course, this is actually my second time participating. I really like it, so I will probably participate a third time as well. Thank you very much.

行きたいところがこのコースに入っているので実は2度目の参加です。大変気に入っているので、3度目の参加も近いことでしょう。ありがとうございました。
