All Reviews for 沖繩活動

It was disappointing that the sky was cloudy and we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the fish. The guide was kind, and I was able to experience the tour while listening to stories about Okinawa.

The kayaking, in particular, was great as we went far out and it felt wonderful.

Also, the pork shabu-shabu restaurant you recommended at the end was delicious! Thank you very much!

Next time, I will try again on a sunny day! ☆

曇空だったことと、青の洞窟に行けなかったことは残念でしたが、綺麗な海とお魚さんを楽しむことができました。
ガイドさんは優しく、沖縄話をしながら体験できました。
特にカヤックは遠くまで行けて、すごく気持ちよかったです。

あと、最後に教えていただいた豚しゃぶのお店、美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！

今度は晴れた日にまたリベンジしまーす☆

There were two courses to choose from, and I was torn, but I decided to participate in the Nago Pineapple Course.

Of course, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is great, and it's wonderful that you can easily visit various spots in Okinawa.

I had rented a car, so I could have gone on my own, but when in Okinawa, you have to have Orion Beer!

With a beer in hand, I enjoyed it! It wasn't excessive, but it was nice to have light moments of fun at key points.

Even with COVID-19 precautions, they made sure to sanitize every time, which made me feel safe.

Since it was a weekday, the seating was spaced out, which was nice.

At the snack castle along the way, you don't have to buy a lot since there are many locations throughout Okinawa, so no worries (laughs). However, there are some items that are only available locally, so I made sure to look carefully before purchasing.

It was really great.

コースが二つあって、悩みましたが、とりあえず名護パイナップルコースで参加。

美海水族館は、もちろんのこと、さまざまな沖縄のスポットに気軽に行けるのはありがたいです。

レンタカーも借りていたので、そのまま自分で行く手もありましたが、やっぱり沖縄来たら、オリオンビールでしょ！

ビール片手に高々と！て、ガバガバではないですが、要所要所で軽く行ける楽しみがあって良かったです。

コロナ関係にあっても、消毒はもちろん毎度していただき、安心しました。

平日だったのもあってか、席も空けてあって良かったです。

途中のお菓子御殿での買い物は、バカ買いしなくても、沖縄各所にあるので、ご安心を（笑）
けど、現地しかない物もあるので、よく見て購入しました。

本当によかったです。

Initially, we were scheduled to go snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but we heard on the day of the event that we wouldn't be going in that direction due to the wind. I appreciated the suggestions for cancellations or rescheduling. Since our schedule was tight this time, we decided to go ahead as planned.

We enjoyed seeing the coral and fish. The life jackets and wetsuits were perfectly sized, so my wife, who isn't a strong swimmer, was able to enjoy herself without worry.

Afterward, there were showers available, which was great for warming up our chilled bodies.

We took a lot of photos, making it a tour that I can confidently say was enjoyable.

Our guide, Acchan, was cheerful and really great, which added to the experience.

当初の予定では、青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングでしたが、風の影響で洞窟方向へは行かないと当日現地で聞きました。
キャンセルや日程変更も提案していただきありがたかったです。
今回は予定が詰まっていた為、そのまま決行。
珊瑚や魚を、見て楽しみました。

ライフジャケット、ウェットスーツもバッチリサイズで、泳ぎが得意じゃない奥さんも、安心して楽しめました。

終了後は、シャワーもあるので、冷えた体には良かったです。

写真もたくさん撮っていただき、良かったと言えるツアーでした。

ガイドのあっちゃんも、明るくて良い子で本当に良かったです。

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。

I was able to efficiently visit representative tourist attractions in central Okinawa, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium. Since we spent a long time at the aquarium, it was nice to have a relatively relaxed experience.

美ら海水族館をはじめとする本島中部の代表的な観光施設を効率的に回れました。水族館の滞在時間が長いので、比較的ゆったりと過ごせてとてもよかったです。

The diving was canceled, and I was in a bit of a bind with my suddenly open schedule, but I found a tour that included a stay at a hotel in Yachiyo. It's truly appreciated, especially since most tours depart from Naha or Chatan.

We visited various places, and the guide provided very clear explanations with a touch of humor. The guide's singing was also wonderful.

We had a fulfilling experience at Manza Beach, Pineapple Park, the aquarium, and the Okashi Goten. We even got to see the dolphin show at 3 PM, which was unlike anything I've seen before and incredibly cute.

When I asked the kids what they enjoyed most about the trip, they immediately replied that the tour was the highlight. Thank you very much!

ダイビングが中止になり、
急遽予定があいてしまって困っていましたが、
検索で、谷茶の宿泊ホテルに止まるツアーが一件だけヒット。
那覇や北谷着発が多い中、本当にありがたいです。

色々な場所に行き、
ジョークを交えたとてもわかりやすい説明で、
ガイドさんの歌も素敵でした。

万座毛やパイナップルパーク、水族館に、お菓子御殿と充実していました。
15時からのイルカのショーも見れました、他では見たことがない感じでとても可愛かっです。

子供たちに、旅行で何が楽しかった？と聞くとツアーが楽しかったと即答でした。
本当にありがとうございました。

The explanations were also very thorough. Next time, I want to go to Sunset and I would like to participate in a different tour as well. I will come again.

説明も丁寧な感じでよかったです
今度はサンセットで行きたいです違うツアーでも参加したいと思います
また来ます

The tour started at the Churaumi Aquarium, then we visited Manzamo and American Village. Most participants were with companions, but I was able to occupy a two-person seat by myself (laughs). The guide constantly provided information on the bus, and I had a very enjoyable time looking out the window while listening to the guide (laughs).

I thought two hours at the aquarium might be a bit short, but it was sufficient! We ended with the Okichan Theater, and I found that having Okinawa soba for lunch nearby was just right. Well, the prices were similar to those in the city for a tourist spot, so it might be a good idea to have lunch there since it's close to the bus stop♪

On the other hand, we only had 20 minutes at Manzamo, which made for a rather rushed visit. I think an extra 10 minutes would have been enough... It's a bit disappointing to realize how precious those 10 minutes are in a tour compared to everyday life, and I want to recommend this to solo travelers, so I'm writing this honestly.

Conversely, I also thought that 30 minutes or more would have been nice... (laughs)

This time, I was able to use GOTO, so it was worth more than the price.

Overall, I recommend this tour for solo participants in terms of both value and experience! I was a bit anxious since it was my first tour, but once we arrived at the sightseeing spots, I could explore freely and return within the time limit. For someone traveling alone, including transportation costs, I felt that there’s no more efficient and rewarding trip than this!

Thank you to the bus guide! Thanks to the driver’s safe driving, I was able to comfortably sleep during the one-hour travel time, just as my stomach was satisfied (laughs). Thank you!

美ら海水族館に始まり　万座毛　アメリカンビレッジなど周るツアー
やはり　同伴者の参加がほとんどでしたが
席も2人席を1人締めできたし（笑）
ガイドさんがバスの中で常にガイドしてくれてて
たまに（笑）そのガイドにそりバスの外を眺めながらとても楽しい時間を過ごせました

2時間判の水族館も少ないかな？と思いましたが
充分でした！　
おきちゃん劇場を最後にして
近くで沖縄ソバも昼食で充分かなと
まぁ〜観光地にしては市内と変わらない
金額で食べれたし
昼食取ると良いかもです
そこからバスまち場まですぐなので♪

逆に万座毛が20分しかなく…かなり早歩きでの見学でした　プラス10分あったら充分だったかな…普段の生活の10分と　こー言うツアーでの10分がこんなに貴重なんだとちょっと残念な点も1人旅の方に勧めたいの
で正直に書きます。

逆に30分以上はいいかなとも思ったので…
（笑）

今回はGOTOを利用できたのでお値段以上の価値がありました

総合的にもお値段的にも1人参加の方にお勧めです！
ツアー初参加で不安でしたが…バスを降り観光地に着いたら時間内に戻り自由にみて回れる
1人の場合交通費なども含め
こんな効率良くお得な旅は無いかと思うぐらい
充実できました！

バスガイドさん　ありがとうございました！
運転手さん　安全運転のおかげてちょうどお腹が満たされてた1時間の移動時間　快適に寝れました（笑）
ありがとうございました！

I participated from Kencho-mae on November 22. Due to COVID-19 prevention measures, we were seated one person per two-person seat on the large bus, which made me feel safe. The weather was nice and the sea was beautiful! There was traffic on the way from Churaumi Aquarium to Okashi Goten due to the middle of the three-day weekend! Thanks to the quick thinking of our guide and driver, we prioritized the sunset at Manzamo first. Although Okashi Goten was supposed to close at 6 PM, they negotiated to extend it until 6:10 PM, for which I am grateful. The guide from Taiwan was making her debut, but she was cheerful and attentive to the customers, which was very pleasant. We had a full three hours at the aquarium, and it was truly a satisfying tour. Thank you very much.

11/22に県庁前から参加しました。
コロナ感染予防対策で大型バスの2人席に１人ずつの配置で安心でした。お天気もよく海もきれい！三連休のなか日で美ら海水族館から御菓子御殿への道が渋滞！ガイドさんと運転手さんの機転で先に万座毛のサンセットを優先していただきました。御菓子御殿の閉店が18時なのに交渉して18:10まで延ばしていただき感謝です。
台湾からのガイドさんはデビューとのことでしたが、明るく、お客様に寄り添う姿が好感がもてました。水族館もたっぷり3時間あり、本当に大満足のツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

I went to the reception at the remote island terminal around 7:40 and received the tour explanation and tickets. The boat for traveling to Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island had a capacity of about 200 people. During the Nakama River cruise, I was able to see herons. On Taketomi Island, I was also able to visit the main attractions by bicycle.

7:40くらいに離島ターミナルの受付に行って、ツアーの説明とチケットを受け取りました。西表島、竹富島の移動は、定員200人くらいの船でした。仲間川のクルーズでは、へらさぎを見ることができました。竹富島でも、自転車で主な名所に行くことができました。

I had a morning reservation, but considering the weather and sea conditions, the instructor suggested a time change! On top of that, the early morning sea was still empty, and I was the first to enjoy the cave! The instructor also taught me carefully, so I was able to relax and have fun even though I can't swim! Thank you very much! I would like to do it again.

早朝予約していましたが、天気や海の状況を加味してくれましてインストラクターさんから時間変更提案してくれました！その上で早朝の海はまだ誰も入ってなく1番乗りで洞窟も楽しめました！あとインストラクターさんからも丁寧に教えてもらい、泳げなくても安心して楽しめました！ありがとうございました！また願いしたいです。

I apologize for the delay caused by my junior this morning. As a result, we departed 10 minutes late, but thank you for waiting.

Now, regarding the tour itself, it was great that we were able to visit various places, but the tour guide was a foreigner. While they could speak Japanese, it was very difficult to understand them. Towards the end, their voice became so quiet that I couldn't hear the explanations. When they said, "Please ask if you have any questions," it was hard to do so under those circumstances.

We started from in front of the prefectural office, but there were many buses lined up, making it hard to find the right one. Other tour guides were calling out loudly, while ours just stood outside holding a customer list. That made it really confusing. Since I’m not very experienced with tours and this was only my second time, I didn’t know what to do. This was evident as other customers, who were also there more than 10 minutes early, ended up arriving at the bus just in time and expressed their confusion.

Additionally, I went with my junior this time, and while I understand the need for social distancing due to COVID, everyone could have easily maintained distance by sitting by the windows. However, we were made to sit together as a couple, and when I asked if we could move to the window seats, I was told to wait. Ultimately, we were able to sit by the window only in the afternoon. If they were going to allow it, they could have done so in the morning as well. Moreover, there was someone sitting alone who wanted to see the scenery and preferred to sit by the window, which was prioritized instead. Doesn’t that seem strange?

Please ensure proper training for the tour guides. If it had been a Japanese guide, I think we could have enjoyed it a bit more.

朝イチ後輩が遅れてすみませんでした。それで10分出発が遅れたのですが待っていただきありがとうございました。
早速ツアー内容なんですが、内容的には色々なところをまわれたのはよかったのですが、添乗員が外人さんで、日本語も大丈夫なのですが、非常に聞き取り辛かったです。説明も、自身がないのか終わりの方は声が小さく聞こえなかったです。
分からないことが有れば聞いてくださいって、これでは聞けないですよ。
出発の場所は県庁前からだったのですが、何台も並んでいたのでわかりにくかったです。他のツアーの添乗員さんは大きな声で呼んでいるのに、今回の添乗員は外に出て、顧客リストを持っているだけ。これではわかりませんよね。旅行慣れしていなく今回が2回目だったので、わかりませんでした。それを物語るのが、他のお客さんも、10分以上前に県庁前にいたのにギリギリにバスに着いてわからなかったって言ってバスに乗ってました。
あと、今回後輩と乗ったのですが、コロナで席を空けてるのはわかるのですが、全員窓際に座っても十分距離は保てるのに、私たちとカップルだけ2人で座らされ、窓際に移っていいですか？って聞いたら待ってください。って言われて結局窓際に座れたのが昼過ぎ。結局オッケーするなら午前中でも、よかったのではないでしょうか？それも、1人で座ってる人が景色ぐ見たいから逆に座りたいって言って、そっちを優先。おかしくないでしょうか？
添乗員教育ちゃんとしてください。日本人の添乗員だったらもう少し楽しめたかな。

To get to the northern Yanbaru area, it's difficult without a rental car, so I signed up for the only bus tour that goes to Daishirinzan. The bus had proper infection control measures in place, including seat arrangements.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour. I was looking forward to the views from the observation decks at Cape Hedo and Daishirinzan, but sadly, I could barely see anything. The weather forecast predicted clear skies for the afternoon, so I wished we could have reversed the order of the tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium later. (Since it's a group tour, I understand that the schedule for each location is fixed and changes are probably not possible.)

We had 80 minutes at Daishirinzan. I wanted to see the "Observation Deck" and "Gajumaru," so I walked the shortcut course "Kigan & Churaumi" plus the "Yanbaru Forest Course." I just barely made it back in time within the 80 minutes. I wished I had a bit more time.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had 180 minutes. Perhaps because it was the second day of a three-day weekend in September when people started to move around (they were allowing entry with restrictions for infection control), there was a huge line, and it took 20 minutes to get in after we started waiting. The tour guide mentioned that it was the longest line they had ever seen. However, even with the 20-minute wait, we had plenty of time with the 180-minute stay. I skipped the really crowded tanks, looked at the beach and sea turtles, and then returned to the aquarium to explore.

It seems that the tour content has changed now. It looks like it offers a better experience to fully enjoy Yanbaru.

北部やんばるエリアに行くにはレンタカー以外では難しくて、この大石林山に行くことができる唯一のバスツアーに申し込みました。
バス内では席位置等感染対策がしっかりととられていました。
当日はあいにくの雨。「辺戸岬」と「大石林山」の展望台からの景色を楽しみにしていたのですが残念ながらほぼ何も見えませんでした。午後からの天気予報は晴れだったので午後からの「美ら海水族館」と回る順番を逆にすることができたら良かったのになあって思いました。（ツアー団体だから各場所に行く予定時間は決まっていて変更は無理なんだろうとは思います）
「大石林山」の滞在時間は80分。「展望台」と「ガジュマル」は見たかったので「奇岩・美ら海」のショートカットコース+「やんばる森林コース」を歩きました。なんとかギリギリ80分でもどれました。もう少し時間が欲しかった。
「美ら海水族館」は滞在180分。人が動き出した9月の3連休の二日目のためか（感染対策のために入場制限をしながら入場させていた）入場はすごい列ができていて、並んでから入るまで20分かかりました。添乗員さんはこんなに行列ができているのは初めてだと言われていました。ただ20分並んでも180分滞在時間があったので時間は十分でした。すごく混んでいる水槽は飛ばし、ビーチやウミガメを見てからまた水族館にもどり入って見ました。

今はツアー内容が変更になっているようですね。やんばるをより満喫できる内容のようなので良さそうですね。

Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism seems to handle many tours, including those for groups, and efficiently guides participants through multiple different options, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without getting bored.

The bus driver and everyone involved clearly wanted the participants to appreciate the charm of the Yaeyama Islands, and I was completely captivated by the allure of Ishigaki Island and the surrounding Yaeyama Islands!

One point to note: I chose the rental bicycle option for Taketomi Island, but there are many unpaved areas on the roads. If you're not comfortable with cycling, you might want to consider the glass-bottom boat or other options.

石垣島ドリーム観光さんは、団体も含めてツアーの開催が多き手がけておられるようで、複数の異なるオプションの参加者を効率的に振り分け誘導されており、退屈することもなく、楽しむ事ができました。
道中のバスの運転手の方も含め、みなさん参加者の方に八重山の島々の魅力を知っていただきたいと言う気持ちが前面に出ており、すっかり石垣島を初めとする八重山諸島の魅力に虜になりました！
一点だけ、竹富島のオプションはレンタルサイクルにしましたが、道路が舗装されてない箇所も多いです。
自転車が苦手な方は、グラスボートとか他のオプションを検討されてもいいかと思います。

Originally, we had planned to do SUP at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to high waves, we quickly changed to SUP in the mangroves and landing on the Phantom Island for snorkeling.
As a result, it turned out to be a very satisfying tour!
The staff were very kind and shared a lot of detailed information about the island, making me want to visit the outer islands next time.
Phantom Island was truly beautiful and moving!
I was really happy about the free photo service.
They also suggested poses, which helped avoid having the same types of photos.
I was surprised to receive nearly 200 photos.
Kubo, our guide, was only 22 years old and was the captain; it was fun to see starfish and sea turtles while snorkeling.
Thank you very much!

元々川平湾のSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングの予定でしたが、波が高いということで急遽マングローブでのSUPと幻の島上陸＆シュノーケリングに変更となりました。
結果的に、とても満足いくツアーになりました！
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で島のことを詳しく色々と教えてくださって、次は離島にも行ってみたいと思いました。
幻の島は本当に綺麗で感動しました！
写真撮影の無料サービスがあるの、本当に嬉しいです。
ポーズの提案もしてもらえて、同じような写真ばかりにならないのも良かったです。
しかも200枚近く送ってもらえてびっくりしました。
案内してくださった久保さんが22歳の若さで船長をされており、シュノーケリングでヒトデやウミガメを見つけてくれたのも楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

The aquarium allows unlimited entry on the same day, so I was able to go from the aquarium to the dolphin show and then re-enter the aquarium to take my time looking around. Since it was a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, which was lucky. I was also able to see the baby sea turtles that are only available during this season, which was great.

水族館は当日限り何回でも入場可能なので、水族館→イルカショー、その後に水族館に再入場してゆっくり見ることができました。平日だったこともあり、大混雑もなかったのでラッキーでした。この時期だけのウミガメの赤ちゃんも見ることができよかったです。

In the mangrove forest, we had an explanation from the guide and were able to explore while looking for creatures like coconut crabs. For lunch, we had sashimi with three pieces of white fish fry, which was very filling and delicious. Cape Hedo had an impressive deep blue color; although the wind was strong, the view was wonderful. At Daishi Forest, I was able to walk more easily than I expected and fully enjoy nature. I also thought that infection control measures were well implemented, such as hand sanitizer when getting on and off the bus and seating arrangements that maintained social distance. I'm glad I went.

マングローブ林ではガイドさんの説明があり、ヤシガニ等生き物を探しならがら見学できました。ランチは刺身に白身フライが3枚もつきボリューム満点で美味しかったです。辺戸岬は濃いブルーが印象的、風は強かったけど素晴らしい景色でした。大石林山は思ったより楽に歩くことができ、自然を満喫できました。バス乗り降りの際は手指アルコール消毒、ソーシャルディスタンスを保った座席配置など感染症対策もしっかりされていたと思います。行って良かったです。

I explored the great nature of Yanbaru, going down waterfalls and climbing cliffs. It was challenging, but it was okay even if I wasn't confident in my physical strength. It was so much fun, and I want to participate again when I go to Okinawa!!

やんばるの大自然の中、滝をくだったり崖を登ったりしながら探検しました。ハードではありましたが、体力に自信がなくても大丈夫でした。とても楽しくて、また沖縄に行ったら参加したいです！！

I was looking for a tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island since I couldn't drive. There was a pick-up service from the hotel in Onna Village, and the tour was very fulfilling and great! Even without a car, I was able to visit various places on a day trip.

車が運転できなかったので、美ら海水族館と古宇利島に行けるツアーを探していました。宿泊していた恩納村のホテルまで送迎があり、内容も充実していてとても良かったです！！車がなくても日帰り観光で色々な場所に行けました。

I participated on the last day of my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed a half-day tour from morning until 2:30 PM. During the mangrove cruise, the guide provided very clear explanations. Since it had just rained, there was a rainbow arching over the green mangroves and blue sky, which was refreshing for the soul.

The water buffalo cart to Yufuin was also a lot of fun, as I learned about the buffalo's stories and the history and culture of Yufuin. I would love to visit again!

旅行最終日に参加しました。朝から昼14:30までの半日観光でたっぷり満喫♪マングローブクルーズではガイドさんがとてもわかりやすく案内してくれました。雨上がりだったので、緑のマングローブと青い空に七色の虹がかかり、心が洗われました。
由布島へ渡る水牛車では、牛さんたちのエピソードや由布島の歴史や文化を知れてとても楽しかったです。
また訪れたいな〜

There were more options on the menu than I initially thought, and there were plenty of opportunities to interact with multiple dolphins, so I enjoyed every moment!

最初に思ってたよりメニューの内容が複数あって複数のイルカと触れ合う機会が盛りだくさんあり時間いっぱいたのしめました！！

This price is just too surprising! Everything is so good, I highly recommend it! Dinner was also incredibly delicious!

これでこの値段はおどろきすぎます！
全部よすぎてめちゃくちゃおすすめです！
夜ご飯も美味しすぎました！

I was able to efficiently visit various places and had a great time!

I also enjoyed the long-awaited Churaumi Aquarium, which was wonderful!

Since there isn't much time for American Village, I think it might be better to include other spots that can be enjoyed in a short time instead of forcing it into the plan.

I also had a meal where I could see Ryukyu dance, and both the food and drinks were delicious, making for an enjoyable viewing experience.

It was a fantastic value plan! Thank you very much!

効率よく色々まわっていただけて、とても楽しめました！

念願の美ら海水族館も楽しめて、良かったです！

アメリカンビレッジが、かなり時間がないので、無理にプランに入れずに短時間でも楽しめる他スポットを入れても良いかと思いました。

琉球舞踊のみれる食事もつけていただきましたが、食事もお酒も美味しくて、楽しく鑑賞できました。

コスパの素晴らしいプランでした！
ありがとうございました！

I got caught in a little rain, but I was able to use the GO TO discount, and with that price, including admission to the Churaumi Aquarium, it was more than satisfactory. It was a very satisfying tour that included all the places I wanted to visit.

少し雨に降られましたが、ＧＯＴＯも使えて、あの金額、しかも美ら海水族館の入場も含まれるので申し分ありません。行きたいところが全部入っていたとても満足いくツアーでした。

I inquired whether the "designated hotel pick-up" meant they would come to pick me up at my accommodation, and it turned out to be five hotels associated with Jumbo Tours. Fortunately, one of them was just a seven-minute walk from my hotel, so I decided to join the tour.

The itinerary allowed us to efficiently visit the major spots in the northern region that would be difficult to cover in a day on our own, thanks to the guide's advice. In particular, we spent about three hours at the Churaumi Aquarium and even extended our visit to the Tropical Dream Center.

Regarding COVID-19 measures, both the guide and the driver were very considerate, which made me feel quite safe.

Additionally, it was my first time touring while listening to audio guides in eight different languages. Although it may seem rude to the guide, I felt it was better for them to provide supplementary explanations of the timely audio guides rather than repeating the same information each time. Considering the number of foreign travelers, this approach felt appropriate. (Since it was during the pandemic, the GOTO program was only for Japanese people... haha)

『指定ホテル送迎可』は宿泊ホテルに迎えに来てくれるのかと問い合わせしたらジャンボツアーズ社様の関わる５つのホテルでした。幸いに、その一つが宿泊所から徒歩７分の所にありましたので、気を取り直してツアーに参加しました。

内容は、個人では１日ではなかなか回れない北部の主要スポットを、ガイドさんのアドバイスの中で効率よく観光できました。特に、『美ら海水族館』は滞在時間が約3時間！あり、熱帯ドリームセンターまで足を伸ばせました。

コロナ対策については、ガイドさんだけではなく運転手さんも必要以上に配慮されていて大変安心しました。

また、初めて８か国の音声ガイドを聞きながら観光をしましたが、ガイドさんには失礼ですが毎回毎回同じこと喋るよりは、ガイドさんにはその時に旬な音声ガイドの補足を説明していただき、外国の旅行者が多いことを考えるとこれもありと感じました。
（　コロナ禍だったのでGOTOは日本人だけでしたが・・・　笑　）

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I signed up for an island-hopping tour! I was able to enjoy various modes of transportation like boats, water buffalo carts, buses, and bicycles! Each experience was short, but that's understandable! It was a bit hectic, but I had a great time! The staff were all polite and friendly, which made it very pleasant! Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島だったので、離島巡りをしたくて申し込みました！
船、水牛車、バス、自転車といろいろ乗れて満喫できました！
それぞれの時間は短いですけど仕方ないですね！
せわしなかったけど満喫できました！
スタッフの方も皆さん丁寧で愛想良く気持ちよかったです！
ありがとうございました！

We were blessed with good weather, and the veteran guide's stories, including the changes in Okinawa, were very well done. The sandwiches were delicious as well. It was a very fulfilling day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

天候に恵まれ、ベテランガイドさんのお話が（沖縄の移り変わり等も入れて....)とてもお上手でした。
サンドウィッチも美味しく頂きました♪。
とても充実した1日観光でした。
有難う御座いました。

It was rainy, but the underwater scenery was beautiful and I had a great time! The service was very polite, and I was satisfied because I even got to see a turtle!

雨だったけど、水中はきれいで、楽しかったです！
対応もすごく丁寧で、亀さんにも会えたので満足です！

The local tour company organizing this tour manages the entire vessel, so you won't be mixed with general passengers, and there's no chance of getting lost along the way. The tour progresses smoothly like a conveyor belt, allowing you to see everything efficiently. The guide on Iriomote Island is also very experienced. On the day of my participation, the wind was strong and the weather was a bit poor, so we didn't stay long on Taketomi Island and quickly wrapped up our cycling. However, if you plan to go to the beach with star sand, it's better to allow at least an hour of extra time. The path is made of sand and small stones, making it difficult to ride quickly. Participants varied from solo travelers to families.

このツアーを主催している地元ツアー会社が運航船を丸ごと管理しているので一般客と混載することがなく、途中で迷うこともありません。流れ作業のようにどんどん進みますが、効率的に見て回れます。西表島のガイドさんも手馴れています。参加日は風が強く少々天候が悪かったので竹富島ではあまり長居せずにサイクリングも早々に引き上げて帰りましたが、星の砂のビーチまで行くなら、1時間以上は時間の余裕をみた方がいいです。砂と小石の道なので走行しにくく、スピードは出せません。参加者は、ひとりから家族連れまでさまざまでした。

It was my first time visiting an outlying island. Although it was a quick visit, I was satisfied with my experience on the island. I think it was a great opportunity to scout for a future trip where I can take my time on a favorite island. However, I was quite anxious during the bus ride because one of the children in the same tour group kept coughing. I felt anger towards the parents traveling with a child who was coughing so much at this time of year. While it might not bother them if it were their own child, for others, it is nothing but a source of fear.

初めての離島。駆け足ではありましたがその島を堪能できて満足でした。気に入った島に次回はゆっきりでかける為の下見としてとても良いと思います。ただ同じツアー参加者のお子さんがずっと咳をしていてソレが気になってバスの中では不安な気持ちでいっぱいでした。この時期のこんなに咳をする子供を連れて旅をする親御さんに怒りを覚えました。自分の子供なら気にならないかもしれませんが他人にとっては恐怖でしかありません。
