All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was able to visit Sefa Utaki first thing in the morning, and I joined the guided tour of the Gangala Valley with hardly any wait. It was a fulfilling half-day experience that felt much longer.

斎場御嶽に朝一に行くことができ、ガンガラーの谷もほとんど待つことなくガイドツアーに参加でき半日とは思えないくらい充実できました。

The weather was wonderful, and I enjoyed the nature and beautiful scenery of Okinawa. The guide was amazing, and together with the driver, I was impressed by their professionalism. The sightseeing bus, which efficiently takes you around, is perfect for those who are not good at driving or for the elderly. When I come back, I definitely want to try a different course. I appreciate the service spirit of the people of Okinawa.

お天気にも恵まれて、沖縄の自然や美しい景色を堪能しました。
ガイドさんはとても素晴らしく、ドライバーさん共々、さすがプロだなぁと感心しました。
短い滞在でも、効率よく回ってくれる観光バスは運転が苦手な方や高齢者には最高です。
また来た時は、違うコースをぜひ体験してみたいと思います。
沖縄の人のサービス精神に感謝。

The guide's explanations were very easy to understand and great. It was a rainy day, so we explored while wearing raincoats, but the steps weren't too steep, and it went by in no time.

ガイドさんの話はとてもわかりやすく，よかったです。
雨の日だったので、カッパを着ての散策でしたが、それほど段差もキツくなくあっという間でした。

The tour guide was interesting and shared a lot of informative stories, which made it enjoyable! It's a shame it rained!

ツアーのガイドさんも面白くとてもためになる話を沢山していただいてたのしかったです！
雨だったのが残念でした！

The weather on the day was relatively good compared to the past few days, and even in winter, it was comfortable for a solo traveler to visit each island. Since it was my first time, I think it would have been better to have a bit more guidance and support on each island. It was also nice to receive the Go To regional coupons during the COVID-19 pandemic.

当日はここ数日のなかで比較的に天気が良くて、冬場でも北の一人旅人には快適に各島回れました。
初めてなので、もう少し各島での案内サポートがあれば良かったと思います。コロナ禍でGo To地域クーポンが貰えたのも良かった。

I'm glad I was able to visit the places I wanted to in a short amount of time. I felt very lucky to visit Sefa Utaki at 9:00 in the morning. At the Gangala Valley, the guide provided very detailed information. I was able to return to Kencho-mae around 13:00, which allowed me to catch my flight back from Okinawa, and I had a meaningful time.

行きたかった場所に短時間でサクッと周れてよかったです。斎場御嶽は朝一番の9:00に行けたのはすごくラッキーだなと思いました。ガンガラーの谷ではガイドさんがとても詳しく教えてくれます。13:00くらいには県庁前に帰ってこれるので沖縄から帰りの飛行機にも間に合いましたし、有意義な時間を過ごせました。

It was my first trip to a remote island with my wife and her mother. On the first day, we enjoyed the attractions on the island, making it a wonderful trip. This was also our first bus tour with this group, and even during the COVID-19 pandemic, safety measures were in place on the bus, allowing us to enjoy our journey with peace of mind. Our guide, despite being young, was great at capturing the hearts of the tourists, making the bus ride enjoyable. The view of the seabed from the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was amazing. The lunch was also luxurious and delicious, and we truly had a fun day.

妻と妻の母との初めての離島旅。初日に島内の見所を味わわせていただき、最高の旅になりました。このメンバーでのバスツワーも初めてでしたし、コロナ禍の中、バスの中も安全配慮はできており安心して旅を楽しむことができました。ガイドさんが若くても観光客の心を掴むのが上手でバスの中も楽しめました。川平湾のグラスボートからの海底は素晴らしいものでした。昼食も豪華版で味もよく、本当に楽しい一日を過ごさせていただきました。

I was concerned about the weather, but I was relieved when it turned out to be sunny.

I think traveling by sightseeing bus is a great option.

I have one more memory from this trip.

Thank you very much.

お天気が気になりましたが、晴れたのでホッとしました。

観光バスに乗って回る旅も、良いものだと思います。

旅の思い出がひとつ増えました。

ありがとうございました。

Since the weather forecast predicted rain, I changed my plans from an island-hopping tour to a bus tour around Ishigaki Island at the last minute. The forecast turned out to be accurate, and it rained with strong winds, so it wasn't the best location, but I was prepared for that, so it couldn't be helped. Thanks to the fun stories and wonderful songs from our guide, I was able to have an enjoyable time despite the rain. The lunch was delicious, and it was great that I could use the GOTO campaign, making it very affordable. However, I still wanted to see the beautiful sea on a sunny day, so I would like to visit Ishigaki Island again.

雨が降る天気予報だったので離島巡りの予定を中止してこちらの石垣島を巡るバスツアーに急遽予定変更しました。
天気予報は外れてくれず雨が降り風も強く最高のロケーションとは言えなかったですがその点は覚悟していましたので仕方ありません。
ガイドのおじさんの楽しいお話や素敵な歌のおかげで雨の中でしたが楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
お昼ご飯も美味しかったですし、GOTOキャンペーンも使えて大変安かったのもよかったです。
でもやっぱり晴れた時の綺麗な海を見たかったのでまた石垣島に行きたいと思います。

I was looking forward to riding the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, but the weather was so bad that it was canceled. However, the highlight of the tour was the guide's talk and singing. Since I had to get off halfway to the airport on the last day, I couldn't listen until the end, but it was a very memorable bus tour.

川平湾でグラスボートに乗るのを楽しみにしていましたが、欠航するほどの悪天候に。しかし、ツアー中の魅力はガイドさんのトークと歌ではないでしょうか。最終日で空港に途中下車だったので、最後まで聞けませんでしたがとても思い出深いバスツアーでした。

The bus ride was filled with various information, making it a very enjoyable experience. The rapid-fire conversation was the best! It was a wonderful performance, and I would love to meet again. Thank you very much.

バス移動中もずっといろいろな情報を教えてくれて、とっても楽しい車内でした。マシンガントーク（笑）最高でした。また、お会いしたいステキな仕事ぶりでした。ありがとうございました。

It was a bus tour with everyone going to the nearby Churaumi Aquarium. If you're planning to visit the Dream Center, this tour is just the right amount of time, providing a great sense of satisfaction and convenience!

近隣の美ら海水族館にいく皆様と一緒のバスでの移動ツアーでした。
ドリームセンターを回るとしたら時間的にも丁度良く、満足感と利便背が高いツアーでした！

I used this service on the last day of my trip to Okinawa. The driver and guide were very kind, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the regional common coupon email, and after inquiring, I finally got the email. Since it was the last day and I had limited time to use it, I was quite anxious.

沖縄旅行の最終日に利用しました。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、とても親切で楽しく観光できました。
残念なのは地域共通クーポンのメールが届かず問い合わせをしてやっとメールが来ました。
最終日で使う時間も限られていた為、ヤキモキしました。

I have traveled to Okinawa several times, but it was my first visit to places that were difficult to access. The bus guide's explanations were very easy to understand. I was disappointed that I could only go partway to Sefa Utaki due to the impact of COVID-19, but I could still feel the atmosphere.

沖縄は数回旅行していますが、アクセスが面倒で初めて訪問するところばかりでした。
バスガイドの事前の説明もとても分かりやすいです。
斎場御嶽はコロナの影響で途中までしか行くことができず残念でしたが、雰囲気は伝わります。

It was a tour that could be joined from a hotel in Onna Village. They were attentive to COVID-19 measures, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. It was a well-organized one-day sightseeing tour that was very satisfying.

恩納村のホテルから参加できるツアーでした。コロナ対策にも気にかけておられ、安心して楽しめました。要所を抑えた１日の観光ツアーで充分満足のいくものでした。

The tour itself was good, but the bus guide would rush ahead without particularly checking on the participants when guiding us to the destination. The explanations about the Okinawa area on the bus felt like she was just reading from a guidebook, and since it was during the COVID period, I thought I would have preferred to just take a nap instead. However, the tour guide at the Valley of Gangala was very good.

ツアー自体はよかったですが、バスガイドさんが目的地に案内するときスタスタと参加者を特に確認せずに行ってしまったり、バスでの沖縄周辺の説明もガイドブックを棒読みしている感じでコロナ時期だったのでだったらゆっくり眠っていたかったなぁと思いました。
ガンガラーの谷のツアーガイドのお姉さんはとてもよかったです。

The course included a visit to the Valley of Gangala and Sefa Utaki. I joined thinking it would just be a way to pass the time on the last day of my trip to Okinawa, but each spot was impressive, and it was a very meaningful tour where I could learn about the roots of the Japanese people. The in-car guide, the local guide, and the driver were all very courteous, which left a good impression. On the way back, I was dropped off at Naha Airport, and even though my flight was at 2 PM, the itinerary allowed plenty of time to make it, possibly due to traffic conditions. This is a tour I would like to join again when I come back to Okinawa.

ガンガラーの谷と斎場御嶽を周るコースでした。沖縄旅行最終日の時間潰し程度のつもりで参加しましたが、どのスポットも見応えがあり、日本人のルーツについて学べる大変有意義な充実したツアー内容でした。車内ガイドさん、現地ガイドさん、運転手さん、皆さん対応が丁寧で印象も良かったです。帰りは那覇空港で降ろしてもらえる事もあり、午後2時のフライトでしたが交通事情もあってか、十分間に合う行程でした。また沖縄に来たら参加したいツアーです。

There was a guide available on the bus at all times, and I really enjoyed my first solo trip to Okinawa. Since the sea looks different depending on the weather, I would like to participate again on a sunny day.

随時車内でのガイドがあり、初沖縄一人旅でとても楽しめました。
天気により海の表情が違うため、晴天の日にまた参加したいです。

There were about 30 participants despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The tour itself was neither particularly good nor bad, and honestly, aside from the Churaumi Aquarium and American Village, it was a bit lacking. At the Churaumi Aquarium, you have two and a half hours, but since you need to have a meal there, if you're planning to use a restaurant, it's better to think of your actual viewing time as just one hour. I had planned to shop at American Village, but since time was tight, I think it's best to research the stores you want to visit beforehand.

コロナ禍の中でしたが３０名程の参加者がいました。ツアー自体は可もなく不可もなくといった内容で美ら海水族館とアメリカンヴィレッジ以外は正直…でした。美ら海水族館は２時間半時間がありますが、ここで食事を取る必要があるので、レストラン利用をする方は観覧時間は実質１時間だと考えていた方が良いです。アメリカンヴィレッジでの買い物を予定していたのですが、時間がタイトなので予め目的の店を調べてから行くべきだと思いました。

I was nervous about my first solo trip to Okinawa, but both the guide and the driver were very friendly, which made me feel at ease. I was able to visit many major tourist spots, making it a meaningful day.

初めての沖縄1人旅で緊張しましたが、ガイドさんも運転手さんもとってもフレンドリーで安心しました。主要な観光地をどんどん周ることができて有意義な1日でした。

I felt that it took a long time to reach the main aquarium. I think the time spent at Kouri Island and Pineapple Park could be cut in half. I would like to have more time at the aquarium instead. It's about a 15-minute walk from the parking lot, and the return trip is particularly uphill, so we need to allocate our time accordingly. I hope you can consider this, especially with an increasing number of elderly participants.

メインの水族館にたどり着くまでが長いと感じました。古宇利島やパイナップルパークの滞在時間は半分に削っても十分だと思います。その分水族館での滞在時間を延ばしていただきたい。駐車場から徒歩で15分程、帰りは特に上り坂なのでそれなりの余裕をもって時間配分をしなければならず、御年配の参加者も増える中ご配慮いただければと思いました。

This is a reasonable tour that allows you to efficiently visit all the sightseeing spots on Ishigaki Island. The lunch is delicious and made with local ingredients from Ishigaki Island, making it the best tour for those who do not use rental cars. I would like to point out to Veltra that the notification for using the regional common coupon arrived at 6:59 PM on the day of the tour, which is too late as souvenir shops on Ishigaki Island close around that time, so I was unable to use it. Other places had contacted me by check-in time, so I request an improvement and would like to know the reason for the delay in communication.

効率よく、石垣島全体の観光スポット回ることができるリーズナブルなツアーです。昼食も石垣島の食材を使った美味しい昼食で、レンタカーを使わない人には一番いいツアーでおすすめです。ベルトラにひとつご指摘、地域共通クーポンの使用のお知らせが当日の18時５９分にきており、この時間だと石垣島のお土産屋など閉まる時間なので使用できませんでした。他のところはチェックインの時間には連絡が来ていたので、改善を求めます、連絡がこんなに遅くなった原因を教えてください。

I was wondering if it was a tour with a dedicated guide, but it turned out to be a tour where staff members were at each point, managing the itinerary while checking tickets. Yufu Island was great. On Taketomi Island, there was hardly any free time after riding the glass-bottom boat and the water buffalo cart, so I plan to visit again on my own later!

添乗員が付き切りのツアーかな？と思っていたら、各ポイントにスタッフがいてチケットを切りながら行程を進めていくツアーでした。由布島が良かったです。竹富島はグラスボートと水牛車に乗ると自由時間はほとんどなく、また後日個人で行こうと思ってます！

I wanted to see Manza Beach in the bright morning, so I chose this place. At the pineapple farm, there were moving dinosaurs, which was surprisingly enjoyable. On Kouri Island, sandwiches were distributed, and since I was hungry, I enjoyed them very much. Churaumi Aquarium, by the way, has the parking lot at the highest point, and the slopes are wide, so I got tired from walking. I think the COVID-19 prevention measures were thorough.

万座毛を明るい午前中に見たくて、こちらを選びました。パイナップル農園では、動く恐竜が 居て意外に楽しめました。古宇利島でサンドイッチが配れて、空きっ腹でしたから、美味しくいただきました。美ら海は、とにかく、駐車場が一番高い場所にあり、坂道で広いので歩き疲れました。コロナ予防対策は万全だったと思います。

Despite gathering and departing early in the morning, we arrived at the first site, Sefa Utaki, nearly 30 minutes before it opened. Moreover, we were left outside in the cold wind after getting off the bus. I really questioned why we had to gather so early in the morning. The bus seats were also narrower than those on another bus tour we used the day before, making it feel quite uncomfortable.

朝早く集合・出発したにもかかわらず、最初の斎場御嶽に着いたのは開園の３０分近く前。
しかもバスも下ろされ寒い風吹くなか外に放置。
だったらなぜ朝早く集合しなきゃいけなかったのか本当に疑問でした。
バスの座席も、前日に利用したほかのバスツアーより足元も狭くあまり快適という感じではなかったです。

Overall, it was good, but the departure of the boat from Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island was delayed by about 15 minutes because one of the participants missed the bus, which was disappointing as there was hardly any time for sightseeing on Iriomote Island. Such things can happen, so I recommend choosing a plan that allows for a departure on the 5:00 PM boat from Iriomote Island. Personally, I think it would be nice to go to Hoshi no Suna Beach by bus tour or by bicycle, so a combination of an ox cart and bike rental seems like a good option.

総じて良かったですが、西表島から竹富島への船の出発が、参加者の中でバスに乗り遅れた方がいらっしゃったため15分ほど遅れ、西表島のバス観光がほとんど時間が取れなかったのが残念でした。こういう事は起こり得るので、西表島の出発は17:00の船を選択できるプランをお勧めします。個人的にはバスツアーで行く星の砂のビーチも自転車で行くこともできるので、牛車＋レンタサイクルが良さそうです。

Saijō Gushikawa felt majestic as a sacred place, and it made me feel more focused. Thanks to the guide's thorough explanations during the Gangala Valley tour, I gained a deeper understanding of Okinawa's history. In particular, the stories about the Port of Nakagawa people and the limestone caves were very interesting. There were also many photogenic spots, such as the limestone cave café and the Gajumaru tree, which kept me entertained. I'm grateful for the wonderful time I had!

斎場御嶽は聖地として荘厳な雰囲気を感じ身が引き締まりました。ガンガラーの谷ツアーではガイドさんの丁寧な案内のおかげで沖縄の歴史が深まりました。特に、港川人と鍾乳洞にまつわるお話は非常に興味深いものでした。鍾乳洞カフェやガジュマルの木など写真映えするスポットも多く見ていて飽きません。良い時間を過ごせて感謝です！

The tour that efficiently covered the main tourist spots of Okinawa Island in the morning was excellent. The natural beauty of the Valley of Gangala was stunning.

沖縄本島の代表的な観光地を午前中に効率よく回れるツアーで、とても良かったです。ガンガラーの谷の大自然が美しかったです。

The Utaki tour was great, even though it was raining. The guide led us to the entrance while getting wet, and the Utaki was mysterious and beautiful. The Gyokusendo Cave had a rich water flow, and it was nice to be able to enjoy its clarity. The small garden by the walls of the Kamiagasuh family, the nearby small waterfall, the fish in the pond, and the sound of Ryukyu music allowed us to experience the rich nature and culture of Okinawa. I apologize to the guide and driver for insisting on the 14:10 flight! Thank you! I am very grateful!

ウタキツアーは、雨が降っていましたが、ガイドさんが濡れながら入り口まで、案内してウタキも神秘的で、良かったです。玉泉洞も豊かな水量、どこまでも透明で観光出来て良かったです。上江州家の壁際の小さなお庭、近くの小さな滝、池の魚や琉球音楽が流れていて、沖縄の豊かな自然、文化を体験できました。ガイドさんや運転手さんに14:10のフライト無理言って、m(_ _)mすみませんでした！ありがとう！感謝感謝(*^^*)

I participated in the Iriomote Island and Yufu Island tour organized by Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism through Veltra. Using the Go To Travel campaign, the cost for two people was 22,800 yen with a 35% discount, plus a 3,000 yen regional coupon, making it truly affordable. The tour included a mangrove cruise on the Nakama River, a water buffalo cart ride, and lunch (bento), and I was very satisfied with the experience.

ベルトラを通して石垣島ドリーム観光主催の西表島由布島2島観光N0コースに参加、goto使い2人で22800円が35パーセント引き、さらに地域クーポンが3000円付き本当に格安で参加できた。内容も仲間川マングローブクルーズ、水牛での水牛車観光、昼食(弁当)もついて大満足でした。
