All Reviews for Bus Tours

The water buffalo carts in Yubu Island and Taketomi Island were both interesting, and time flew by. Since it was a hot day, choosing the bus tour instead of renting a bicycle was the right decision.

由布島での水牛車、竹富島での水牛車はそれぞれにおもしろく、時間がたつのが早く感じました。暑い日だったので、レンタサイクルにしないでバスツアーにして正解でした。

I participated on the last day of my first trip to Okinawa. The main goal was to visit the Seifa Utaki, but I was also able to efficiently visit other tourist spots, which was great.

初めての沖縄旅行の最終日に参加しました。一番の目的は斎場御嶽でしたが、他の観光地も効率よく回れてとてもよかった。

I was very satisfied. In the morning, I took a comfortable high-speed ferry from Ishigaki Island to Taketomi Island. I enjoyed sightseeing while being swayed by the water buffalo "Ryu-kun." The streets lined with blooming hibiscus were amazing. I searched for star sand at Hama no Ebi Beach using a rental bicycle. I will never forget lunch at "Kanifu" and the zenzai (shaved ice). I want to go again.

大変満足しました。朝、石垣島から高速フェリーで快適に竹富島へ。水牛「琉くん」にゆられ島内観光。ハイビスカスが咲き乱れる街並みは最高です。レンタサイクルで皆治浜で星砂探し。お昼は「かにふ」でランチとぜんざい（かき氷）は忘れられません。また行きたいと思います。

I participated on June 28. I've been to Okinawa dozens of times, so I didn't think I needed a sightseeing bus at this point, but I found that this tour was cheaper than taking the local bus to and from the airport when I planned to stop by New Higa Beach on my return day. The price of 1,400 yen is astonishing.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but veteran Okinawa beauty bus guide Ito-san was wonderful. Right after departure, they started collecting the fare, and once that was done, they immediately began sharing various stories. The content was truly impressive, as expected from a veteran. I won't spoil the fun by writing too much here, so please do join the tour. I realized that some things I thought I knew were actually wrong, which was an eye-opener. Thank you for a fun half day!

6月28日に参加しました。沖縄には何十回も行っているのでいまさら観光バスでもないのですが、帰る日に新原ビーチに寄って行こうと思ったら路線バスで往復して空港へ行くよりもこのツアーの方が安いのです。1,400円という料金は驚異的ですね。
実は期待していなかったのですが、ベテラン沖縄美人バスがイトさんが素晴らしいです。発車後すぐに料金の徴収から始まって、それが終わるとすぐにあれこれと話してくれます。その内容がさすがはベテランなのです。ここで書いてしまっては楽しみが半減するのでぜひツアーに参加してください。知ってるつもりだったことが間違えて覚えていたりして目からウロコです。楽しい半日をありがとうございました。

Since it was my first time in Okinawa, I was unsure about where to go and how to get there. Although there are time constraints at tourist spots, this covers the northern and central parts of Okinawa. I do hope to take my time on my next visit, but for now, it was an introductory budget tour. The bus guide was cheerful and entertained not only Japanese travelers but also foreign tourists throughout the day.

初めての沖縄だったので、どこに行くべきか、どうやって行くべきか、・・など迷っていたのですが、観光地での時間の制限は生じてしまいますが、沖縄の北部と中部はこれでカバーしてしまいます。　次回はじっくり時間をかけて行きたいとの思いもありますが、まずは入門として格安のツアーでした。　バスガイドの方が明るい方で一日、日本人だけではなく外国の旅行者も楽しませてくれました。

I made a reservation for my father's group trip. They wanted to stay in Ishigaki Island and visit nearby islands for a day, so we chose this plan. Although they couldn't spend much time on each island since they visited three islands—Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island—in one day, they said it was highly recommended for first-timers because it allowed them to see all the highlights in one go. In particular, they enjoyed the cruise around the mangroves and the water buffalo cart ride, which gave them a taste of Okinawa. The guide who accompanied them was also kind, and they had a great time.

父の同期旅行にあわせて予約しました。石垣島に滞在しつつ、日帰りで近くの離島を回りたいとのことで、このプランに決めました。西表島・由布島・竹富島と１日で３島を一気に回る為、それぞれの島でゆっくりする事は出来なかったそうですが、初めての人にとっては、見所をまとめて見学できることから、とてもおすすめだったと言っていました。中でも、マングローブ周辺のクルーズや水牛車での島渡りは、沖縄らしさが味わえたようです。ご案内をしていただいたガイドさんも親切で、楽しかったそうです。

I was able to thoroughly enjoy the Yaeyama Islands with a well-organized itinerary!!!! I'm glad I signed up for the tour!!!! The lunch bento I had also featured Okinawan cuisine, and I was very satisfied!!

予定もしっかり組んでもらい八重山諸島も堪能できました!!!!ツアー申し込んで良かったです!!!!昼食に食べたお弁当も沖縄料理が使われていて満足でした!!

You can visit various tourist attractions in Okinawa by bus. It's amazing satisfaction for just 1,400 yen. However, the time spent at each spot tends to be short, so it might feel a bit rushed for those who want to take their time.

バスで沖縄の観光名所を、次々に回れます。たった1400円なのにすごい満足感です。ただ一つ一つのスポットの滞在時間はどうしても短くなってしまうので、ゆっくり回りたい人には少し忙しいかも。

Listening to the sanshin while swaying on a water buffalo in Taketomi Island was amazing! The mangroves in Iriomote Island were also less crowded at that time, so I was able to enjoy them at a leisurely pace. I highly recommend it.

竹富島で水牛に揺られながら聞くサンシンは最高でした！！西表島のマングローブも時間帯的に空いていたのでゆっくり見れました。オススメです。

I apologize for the delay in posting. I travel to Okinawa every year at the end of the year, but it often rains, and this time it was not just heavy rain, but a stormy weather during the bus tour.

The tour efficiently covered the highlights of Ishigaki Island, and I recommend it for the enjoyable experience with the guide. However, on this day, I was unfortunate enough to sit at the very front of the glass-bottom boat, and I ended up soaking wet from the rain coming in through the gaps in the roof. We were crammed together and unable to move, and although I used an umbrella, my pants got completely drenched.

My spirits were quite low, but I was grateful that the bus guide allowed me to change at the staff break room. It might be understandable that the guide doesn't ride the glass-bottom boat, but I was disappointed that there was no support at all during the ride, and I wish there had been a bit more consideration.

投稿がすっかり遅くなってしまい、すみません。
毎年年末に沖縄旅行をしていますが、雨のことが多く、今回も大雨…どころか、嵐のような天気の中でのバスツアーとなりました。
内容としては、石垣島のいいところを効率よく、ガイドさんと楽しく巡ることができてお勧めです。
ただ、この日は運悪く大雨のうえに風が強く、グラスボートの一番前に座った私は、屋根の隙間から入ってくる雨でびしょびしょになってしまいました。ぎゅうぎゅうにつめて座らせられて身動きできず、傘はさしましたが、ズボンがびしょびしょになってしまいました。
すっかりテンションが下がってしまいましたが、バスガイドさんが、スタッフ用の休憩所で着替えさせてくださったので、ありがたかったです。
ガイドさんはグラスボートには乗らないので仕方がないのかもしれませんが、グラスボートの中では全くフォローがなかったので、もう少し配慮があってもいいのに…と残念に思いました。

I participated on the day I moved to another hotel in Ishigaki Island. Since I was with a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, I joined the latest session at 10:45 in the morning. I was happy that I could leave my suitcase after checking out. It took about 10 minutes to get to Taketomi Island, and after a 15-minute bathroom break, we enjoyed a glass-bottom boat ride for about 30 minutes. The kids were thrilled to see Nemo without any worries about seasickness. After a 5-minute bus ride, we relaxed and enjoyed a 30-minute water buffalo cart ride, taking in the island's nature and buildings.

石垣島で別のホテルへ移る日に参加。5歳児と2歳児を連れていたため、午前中の1番遅い10:45から参加。チェックアウト後だったのでスーツケースを預けられたのが嬉しかったです。約10分で竹富島へ行き、15分のトイレ休憩の後、グラスボート約30分。心配した船酔いもなく、ニモに会えた子供は大喜び。バスで5分ほど移動後に、ゆったりまったり水牛車で30分島内の自然や建物を満喫できました。

I was wondering what to do before my flight from Naha at 3 PM. Until the day before, I had been enjoying the resort, so I wanted to do some sightseeing on the last day and immediately signed up for this tour. First of all, I was satisfied with the low price! There were two guides, both of whom had just joined in April. They were still inexperienced, but their earnestness came through. Lastly, on the bus heading to the airport, they performed Okinawan folk songs accompanied by the sanshin, which was very moving. Thank you very much.

15時那覇発のフライトまでに何をしようか悩んでいました。
前日まではリゾートを満喫していたので、
最終日は観光したいと思っており、このツアーを見つけ即申し込みました。
まず格安で満足！
ガイドさんは4月入社ということで2人でした。
2人ともまだ拙いガイドでしたが、懸命さが伝わりましたし、
最後に、空港に向かうバスの中で、
三線演奏付きの沖縄民謡を生披露してくれたのはとても感動しました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my parents, but I think it's a tour that anyone can enjoy, whether you have kids or are a couple.

Since it goes through multiple hotels, it takes some time to reach the destination, but it was fun to see various hotels, and it gave me ideas like, "I want to stay at this hotel next!"

At Nago Pineapple Park, we received ice cream, at the Glass Museum, we got a small gift, and at Ryukyu Mura, we received discount coupons for souvenirs... there were many little perks that made me happy.

We also had a three-hour stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, which allowed us to leisurely explore the aquarium and shop for souvenirs.

私は両親と参加しましたが、お子様連れでもカップルでもだれでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
多数のホテルを経由して行くので目的地に着くまでに時間はかかりますが、いろいろなホテルを見ることができて楽しいし、「次はこのホテルに泊まりたいな！」と参考になりました。
ナゴパイナップルパークでアイスがもらえたり、ガラス館で粗品がもらえたり、琉宮城でお土産の割引券がもらえたり…とちょこちょこお得な特典が多くて嬉しかったです。
美ら海水族館での滞在も3時間あり、ゆっくり水族館を見学・お土産巡りをすることができました。

On the last day, I participated before my afternoon flight.

It was easy and inexpensive, and the guide explained various facilities and life in Okinawa while we were on the bus, which I thought was better than going around on my own. I found the stories about Okinawa's unique graves particularly interesting (laughs).

Since it was a large bus, it was fine to bring a suitcase. It was convenient to be dropped off at the airport.

最終日、午後のフライト前に参加しました。

手軽で安いのはもちろん、ガイドさんが車内で各施設や沖縄の暮らしなどを説明してくれるので、個人で回るより良かったと思います。特に沖縄ならではのお墓の話、興味深かったです（笑）

大型バスなのでスーツケース持参でOK。空港で降ろしてもらえて便利でしたー。

I used this service on the last day of my week-long trip. The veteran tour guide was very good at communicating, and I was able to enjoy the ride. It's recommended because you can visit various highlights in a short time. The last stop, the Himeyuri Monument, was especially worthwhile to visit, aside from the beaches during my trip to Okinawa. The atmosphere was different. Thinking about the young people with high aspirations who suffered there, I couldn't help but feel tears come to my eyes before I could even process why they had to endure such hell. I believe more people should come and learn about this place. Next time, I want to take my time exploring the museum at my own pace. I think this tour is great for those who want to visit many affordable and worthwhile places.

一週間旅行の最終日に利用しました。
ベテランの添乗員さんがとてもお話がうまく、乗車中も楽しむ事ができました。
短時間で最後に色々なおすすめポイントを周る事ができるのでおすすめです。最後のひめゆりの塔は沖縄旅行の中でも海以外のポイントで特に行けて良かったです。空気が違いました。自分より若く志の高い人達の事を思うとなぜこんな地獄を味わわないといけないのか、そんな風に考えるより先に空気で伝わってきて涙が出ました。もっと多くの人が来て知るべき所だと思います。
また、今度は自分のペースでゆっくり資料館を見に行きたいです。
安くて見ごたえがある所にたくさん行きたい方にはおすすめのツアーだと思います。

I participated on the last day of my trip. Perhaps because it was the off-season, there were few participants, and the time spent at each location was short, but it didn't feel too rushed, which was nice. We arrived at Ishigaki Airport with enough time to explore, and I was able to leisurely choose some additional souvenirs. However, it was disappointing that the guide's voice was very difficult to hear while on the bus. I was sitting near the front, so I could barely hear, but I wonder if those at the back could hear almost nothing? I think the microphone volume needs to be increased.

For lunch, a hamburger set was already prepared. It was ready to eat as soon as we arrived. The hamburger and Yaeyama soba were warm, but the fish tempura was completely cold, which was disappointing. The seasonings were delicious, just as recommended.

旅行最終日に参加しました。
閑散期だったせいか、参加者も少なく一つ一つの滞在時間は短ったですが
そこまであわただしいという印象もなく良かったです。
石垣空港も探検できる時間に到着し、ゆっくりお土産の追加を選べました。
ただ、バスに乗っている際にガイドさんが話してくれる声が非常に聞き取りにくくて残念でした。
私はまだ前の方の席に座っていたのでかろうじて聞こえましたが、
最後尾の方はほとんど聞こえていないのでしょうか？
マイク音量あげないといけないと思います。

お昼はハンバーグセットがすでにセッティングしてありました。着いたらすぐに食べられる仕様です。
ハンバーグと八重山そばは温かかったですが、魚の天ぷらが冷え切ってて残念。
調味料はおすすめの通りおいしかったです。

The travel period just after the long holiday and before the rainy season was perfect. The mangrove forest tour by boat in Iriomote offered an exotic atmosphere, with scenery different from that of Okinawa's main island, resembling the streets of Guam. The water buffalo cart ride to Yufu was also relaxing, and the meal at the botanical garden was delicious. On Taketomi Island, I chose to rent a bicycle, which was the right decision. I leisurely rode my bike to the star sand beach and visited the museum. I got a little lost, but that too became a memorable experience. The only mistake was not bringing my swimsuit. For those on the rental bicycle plan, a swimsuit is essential. Finally, before returning the bicycle, I had some tea while listening to island songs, feeling relaxed in the gentle breeze under a private home's eaves.

連休明けの梅雨前で旅行期間は最高でした。西表のボートでのマングローブ林観光は異国情緒が有り沖縄本島と違う風景で街並みもグアムの様な雰囲気でした。由布への水牛車ものんびりと島に渡っての植物園での食事も美味しかったです。最後の竹富島ではレンタサイクルをチョイスしましたが、正解です。のんびりと自転車で星の砂の浜に行ったり、資料館に行ったり。少し道に迷いましたがそれも思い出です。ただ、水着を持ってなかったのが唯一の失敗です。レンタサイクルプランの方は水着は必須です。最後に自転車を返す前にお茶をしましたが、民家の軒先で静かな風に吹かれて島唄を聴き癒されました。

This half-day tour is a great deal for a first-time trip to Okinawa. I think the cost performance is high. I participated alone, but I didn't have to worry about others and was able to relax. The guide provides explanations, so you can enjoy sightseeing without having to think about anything.

初めての沖縄旅行にはこの半日ツアーは大変お得です。コストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。私は1人参加でしたが、特に周りに気を使う訳でもなく、ノンビリして来ました。ガイドさんが説明してくれるので何も考えず観光できます。

I highly recommend this tour as you can visit three islands in the Yaeyama archipelago in just one day. On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a Nakama River cruise, on Yubu Island, we took a water buffalo cart ride, and on Taketomi Island, we went cycling, which allowed us to experience the unique attractions of each island. I especially think it's great that on Taketomi Island, you can choose activities based on your individual preferences, and you can also select the return boat time, making it a relatively flexible tour despite being a guided one.

1日で見所を押さえた八重山の離島を3島も廻れるのでおすすめです。
西表島では仲間川クルーズ、由布島では水牛車、竹富島ではサイクリングとその島々の特徴にあった観光が出来て良かったです☆
特に竹富島ではそれぞれの要望に沿ってアクティビティーを選べるのがとてもいいと思いますし、竹富島からの帰りの船の時間も自分たちで選べるのでツアーでありながら比較的自由度の高いツアーだと思います☆

I think this is a very efficient tour because the guide explains the island and tourist attractions that you wouldn't understand just from the guidebook!

At each location, the guide takes photos for you, and if you schedule your return flight in the afternoon, you can arrange this tour in the morning, which allows for a stop at the airport on the way back. This is especially recommended for solo travelers who don't plan to rent a car.

The lunch was delicious, and the guide's sanshin performance was pleasant. However, I thought it would have been even better if we could have stopped at Hirakubo Cape, the northernmost point of the island!

バスで島の名所をガイドブックからだけでは分からない島や観光名所の説明をしてくれるのでとても効率的なツアーだと思います！！

各所ではガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり、帰りの飛行機を午後にして午前中にこのツアーを組めば帰りがけ空港にも寄ってくれるのでもするのでレンタカーで回る予定のないひとり旅の人には特にオススメです☆

お昼ご飯も美味しく、ガイドさんの三線も心地よくて◎。ただ、島最北端の平久保崎にも寄れたらもっといいのになと思いました！

You can efficiently visit the highlights of the remote islands with a guided tour, which was a great help since it was my first time visiting. You'll definitely be healed by the adorable water buffalo!

お任せで離島の見どころを効率良く廻れます、初めて訪れたので助かりました。可愛い水牛に癒される事間違い無しです

On May 16th (Monday), I went on a three-island tour. Today marks the start of the rainy season, so I was worried about whether the weather would hold up for the day. However, as I stepped out of the hotel and looked up at the sky, I was greeted by blue skies and thick clouds with a beautiful rainbow, which felt like a good omen. I have a feeling that things will go well.

After completing the procedures at the remote island terminal, I took a commemorative photo with the statue of Yoshitaka Gushiken and boarded the boat. The ride to Ohara Port took just over 30 minutes; it wasn't enough to make me seasick, but the boat was rocking quite a bit. It started to rain as well.

Once we arrived, I took care of my restroom needs and switched to the mangrove cruise boat to set off. Although it was cloudy, the weather improved with occasional rays of sunlight breaking through. My excitement for the mangroves, heightened by the scenery I saw the previous day at the coral reef in Ishigaki Island, was palpable. As we traveled upstream from the sea into Nakama River, the mangroves appeared with their twisted roots and densely packed roots supporting a single trunk, creating a mountain-like shape. Although they were just regular plant roots, everything exuded a strong vitality, making me feel like some mysterious creature might appear.

The captain skillfully navigated the boat while explaining the trees and birds, showcasing a meticulousness typical of women. He showed us a handful of large clams that were harvested right there. On the way there, I was too busy taking photos, but on the return trip, I enjoyed the scenery at a leisurely pace.

Next, we took a bus to Iriomote Island, to Mihara. The driver's anecdotes about the remote islands were entertaining, making the journey enjoyable. Upon arriving at Mihara, we were greeted by many water buffaloes on the beach. We boarded the "Hibari" cart, which was quite crowded due to various reasons.

The driver shared stories about the upbringing of the hibari calves, and laughter filled the cart as we arrived at the opposite shore at the Yufu Island Botanical Garden. We were welcomed with leis, which lifted our spirits. There were also opportunities for commemorative photos and photo sales.

As we passed through the tropical banyan trees, vibrant flowers, and large plants and leaves, we made our way to the lunch venue. We enjoyed Okinawan cuisine served in a tiered box, and after that, we strolled through the botanical garden again.

The rain picked up a bit here, so we ventured out with umbrellas through the lush greenery towards the sea. The pristine white sandy beach and the transparent ocean were beautiful. I thought to myself that it would have been stunning if the weather had been clear. On the way back, I was swayed by the "Koumei" cart, leaving Yufu behind.

Returning to Ohara Port, we headed to the last island, Taketomi Island. After a restroom break at the waiting area, we boarded the "Mansaku" cart and set off. Along the way, we listened to the charming island songs sung by the driver, as we leisurely progressed through the traditional streets lined with coral stone walls, orange-tiled roofs, and shisa statues.

After circling the island, we took a commemorative photo with Mansaku. There was a paid photo service and a free small photo gift. Of course, we could also take pictures with our own cameras.

On the way back to Taketomi Port, we stopped by Hoshizuna Beach. We received star sand as a gift, but following the guide's advice, I collected some star sand myself. This concluded our day's itinerary as we returned to Ishigaki Island. By the time we were heading back, I had completely gotten used to the boat's rocking and felt relaxed.

It was a day that flew by, but for someone new to Ishigaki Island, it was great to efficiently visit many tourist spots. Next time, I would love to stay overnight on a remote island on a sunny day. I might be hooked!

5月16日(月)、3島めぐりです。本日から梅雨に突入ということで、一日お天気がもつか心配ですが、ホテルから出て空を見上げると青空と厚い雲になんと虹がかかっていて、幸先いい感じ。なんとかいけそうな予感がします。
離島ターミナルで手続きを済ませ、具志堅用高さんの銅像と記念撮影をして船に乗り込みます。
大原港まで30分強、船酔いまではいきませんが、なかなかの揺れ。雨も降ってきました。
到着後、トイレを済ませから、マングローブクルーズ船に乗り換え出発です。
曇ってはいるものの時折り薄日が差すまでに天候も回復。前日、石垣島のビルギ群落で見た景色で高まったマングローブへの期待に胸が膨らみます。海から仲間川へと遡っていくにつれ見えてくるマングローブは、どうしたらそうなるのかというくらいに曲がりくねった木の根や、一本の幹を支えるために山の形に密集した根。普通の植物の根と同じなのだけれど、とにかく全てが太く強い生命力を感じさせ、何か不思議な生き物が現れそうな気がしてきます。
船長さんは木々や鳥たちのの説明をしながら、女性ならではの細やかさで見事なハンドルさばきです。ここで採れたという片手いっぱいの大きなしじみを見せてくれました。
行きは写真を撮るのに夢中でしたが、帰りはのんびり景色を楽しみます。
次はバスで西表島、美原へ。ドライバーさんの離島あるあるが楽しくて、移動中も退屈しません。
美原に着くと、浜にはたくさんの水牛たち。訳あり、子だくさんの「ひばり」号に乗車します。
御者のおじさんが聞かせてくれる、ひばりの子供たちの生い立ち話に、牛車中笑いに包まれながら、対岸の由布島植物園に到着。歓迎のレイをかけてもらって、気分も高まります。記念撮影と写真販売もありました。
南国ならではのがじゅまるの木や鮮やかな花々、大きな草木や葉っぱの間を抜けながら、ランチの会場へ。一段の重箱を仕切って小分けされた沖縄料理に舌鼓をうち、再度植物園の散策へ。
ここで雨が少し強くなったので、傘を差しながら鮮やかな緑の中を抜け海へ。真っ白な砂浜と透き通った海。晴れていたなら、きっとすごくきれいだろうなと思いながら、帰りは、ひばりの娘「小梅」号にゆられ、由布を後にしました。
大原港へ戻り、最後の島、竹富島へ。待合所でトイレ休憩の後、「満作」号に乗車し、出発です。途中途中で御者のおじさんの味のある島唄を聞きながら、サンゴの石垣とオレンジの屋根瓦とシーサー、伝統の街並みをゆったり、まったりと進んでゆきます。
島を一周後、満作と記念撮影。有料の写真販売と無料の小さな写真のプレゼントがありました。もちろん、自分のカメラでも撮影可能です。
竹富港への帰りに星砂浜へ立ち寄ります。プレゼントで星の砂をもらえるのですが、ガイドさんのアドバイスを聞いて、自ら星の砂を採取。これにて、一日の行程は終了。竹富港から石垣島へと戻ります。帰りには船の揺れにもにもすっかりなれ、余裕です。
あっ！という間の一日でしたが、石垣島初心者には、たくさんの観光地を効率良く周れて、とっても良かったです。
次回はお天気の良い日に、離島で宿泊もしてみたいな。はまったかも！！

I would recommend this. It works out about the same as getting public transport and buying a ticket to the aquarium alone. It was a little rushed, I think the glass place and the pineapple place are a waste of time. The butterfly place was cool as was the dolphin show. The aquarium is amazing! A must see. Overall a good well organised day out.

I used this tour for a family trip during this year's Golden Week. It was a short 2-night, 3-day trip, and since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I wanted to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. This tour is recommended because it allows you to visit the main attractions of three islands in one day. However, I can't deny that it felt a bit rushed. I think it might have been a bit tough for my parents, who have some mobility issues.

今年のGWに家族旅行で利用しました。2泊3日の短い旅行で、しかも初めての石垣島でしたので、効率よく観光地をまわりたいと考えていました。本ツアーは3島の主な観光地を1日でまわることができるのでおすすめです。ただ、すこし慌ただしくなってしまう感は否めません。足腰の悪い両親には少しきつかったのではと思います。

Everything went smoothly, and I was able to spend a comfortable day.
I chose cycling on Taketomi Island, and the weather was nice, so I had a great time.
I thought about having some tea to relax, but most of the shops were closed, and the ones that were open took over 30 minutes to serve what I ordered.
However, this is also Okinawa time! I found it amusing to just take it easy.

すべてがスムーズに運び、快適な１日を過ごすことが出来ました。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選びましたが、お天気もよくルンルンで楽しめました。
疲れてお茶でもしようかと思いましたが、閉まってるお店ばかりで、やってるお店も注文したものが出てくるのに30分以上かかる、と。
しかし、これも沖縄時間❗ゆったりしてると、笑えました。

I participated in a tour that took us from Ishigaki Island by boat to Iriomote Island, and then to Yubu Island and Taketomi Island.

On Iriomote Island, we enjoyed a boat tour of the Nakama River, where the guide provided detailed information about the island's features and plants, making it a lot of fun.

After having lunch on Yubu Island, we were free to explore the island at our own pace, which was very relaxing. Riding the water buffalo across the river was particularly interesting, and the small children riding with us were thrilled. After a leisurely time on Yubu Island, we headed to Taketomi Island.

On Taketomi Island, we started with a bus tour. Since it was a large group tour, I was a bit worried about whether I would enjoy the bus sightseeing, but the bus driver kindly shared information about the island's features and made stops at viewpoints and beaches, allowing us to enjoy the sightseeing. Thanks to the bus driver teaching us how to find star sand, we were able to discover a lot, which was great.

It was especially hot that day, and since the roads on Taketomi Island are covered in sand, it seemed like biking would be difficult, so the bus tour was definitely the right choice. After the bus tour, we leisurely explored the island by water buffalo cart. I thought I would be tired after visiting three islands, but it was a well-organized tour that allowed us to take our time.

石垣島から船で西表島に息、その後、由島、竹富島と３島を巡るツアーに参加しました。
西表島は仲間川を船で観光しましたが、船のガイドの方が島の特徴や植物のことを丁寧に教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです。
由布島ではお昼ご飯を食べた後は自由に島をまわれて、ゆっくりできました。特に水牛にのって川を渡って行くのはとても面白く、一緒に乗っていた小さい子どもたちも大喜びでした。由布島でのんびりした後は、竹富島へ。
竹富島ではまずバス観光をしました。大人数のツアーだったこともあるので、バス観光で楽しめるかなと不安に思っていましたが、バスの運転手さんが丁寧に島の特徴を教えてくれ、ビューポイントやビーチに寄ってくれたので、楽しく観光することができました。星砂もバスの運転手さんが見つけ方を教えてくれたおかげで、たくさん見つけられ、とても良かったです。
特にその日はとても暑く、竹富島は道路が砂で覆われており自転車だと大変そうだったので、バス観光は正解でした。バス観光の後は水牛車でゆっくり島を巡り、３島まわって疲れるのかなと思っていましたが、至れり尽くせりのツアーでとてもゆっくり巡ることができました。

Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun! The guide and the driver were both nice, and it became a wonderful memory.

However, it was indeed written in the itinerary that "all-you-can-eat pineapple is included!" but it was not actually provided.

I went with my fiancé, and since we both love pineapple, we were really looking forward to the all-you-can-eat option.

So, I have some dissatisfaction... It was very disappointing.

美ら海水族館、とても楽しかったです！
ガイドさんも運転手さんもいい方で、素敵な想い出になりました。

ただ、旅程に確かに｢パイナップル食べ放題付いてます！｣と書いてあったのですが、実際はありませんでした。

婚約者と一緒に行ったのですが、パイナップルが大好きなので食べ放題をとても楽しみにしていました。

なので不満が残っています･･･
非常に残念でした

Each segment of time was short. I wanted to take a little more time to look around.

I was satisfied because I could get off the tour midway and go to Kangaroo Valley freely.

It was just right for me, as I don't have legs.

一つ一つの時間が短い。
もうちょっとゆっくり見たかった。

途中でツアーから降りてカンガラーの谷に行ったり自由にできたから満足

足のない私にはちょうど良かった。

The weather was nice on the day of the visit, and although time flew by, I enjoyed sightseeing on Taketomi Island at the slow pace of the water buffalo cart!

当日は天気も良く、時間はあっという間だけど水牛車のゆっくりスピードで竹富島を観光できて楽しかったです！

Saijō Gushikawa has limited bus services, making it difficult to visit individually due to time constraints, but this tour covers the highlights of the southern region (including Saijō Gushikawa) thoroughly in half a day, which was very helpful. It was a very fulfilling half-day tour. They also provide transportation back to the airport, so for those with flights after 2:00 PM, it’s a great option for the last day of your trip. I highly recommend this tour.

斎場御嶽はバスの本数が少なくて個人で行くのは時間的に難しかったのですがこのツアーは南部の名所（もちろん斎場御嶽も）をしっかり半日で回ってくれるので助かりました。とても充実した半日ツアーでした。帰りは空港まで送迎もしてくれるので、フライトが14：00以降の人は旅行の最終日に良いと思います。とてもお勧めなツアーです。
