All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I brought a broken cup which my daughter bought from Japan. I bought it to the Studio to learn to restore it. I am pleased. They taught me how to restore the cup.

The weather was nice. The forecast said the waves were 1.5 meters. The ferry from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island had quite a bit of vertical rocking. The window seats were popular, and by the time I boarded the ferry, all the window seats were taken, leaving only the middle seats available. I didn't wear a life jacket, as the middle seemed less likely to sway. For the mangrove cruise on the Nakama River, it seems better to sit on the right side facing the direction of travel. This cruise was very satisfying. The bus from the mangroves to Yubu Island was also enjoyable, as the driver shared some funny stories. Once we arrived at Yubu Island, we were assigned to water buffalo carts, and I think the satisfaction level would be quite different depending on whether you sit on the buffalo side or the opposite side. It was nice to have just under an hour for free time on Yubu Island to relax. I took a photo with Rui-kun (the water buffalo), had lunch, and while I was taking pictures of hibiscus flowers, time ran out, and I couldn't explore the whole area. It was April, but it was hot. There are windbreak forests on the outer side of the island, so it was almost windless inside the island. Summer might be tough. From Yubu Island to Iriomote Island, we took the water buffalo cart again, then a bus to the ferry terminal, and from there, the ferry to Taketomi Island. I chose the water buffalo plan on Taketomi Island, but honestly, renting a bicycle would have been fine. Riding the water buffalo twice on Yubu Island and then again on Taketomi Island (by the way, you can't just hop on immediately; there's a pointless waiting time at the water buffalo cart company) left me with awkwardly leftover time where I couldn't do anything. Also, walking from the center of the island to the ferry terminal takes about 25 minutes, so it's better to take the bus from the water buffalo cart company to the ferry terminal, but it runs about every 30 minutes and doesn't connect with the ferry schedule, resulting in unnecessary waiting time at the ferry terminal. My satisfaction level for Taketomi Island was low, so I think a plan without Taketomi Island or a bicycle rental plan would be better. The timing for the water buffalo cart bus on Taketomi Island was really off.

Even though this is a tour, it feels fragmented with different operators, so the connections are not great.

It requires physical stamina. I thought it wouldn't be too tiring since there was a lot of moving around and not much walking, but I ended up feeling quite tired. The clientele was mostly middle-aged women, and they were quite loud. Especially on Taketomi Island, there were people who looked like punks smoking tattoos nearby, and since they were people I wouldn't normally interact with, it made me feel uncomfortable. Is there no designated smoking area on Taketomi Island?

天気は良い日でした。波は1.5mと天気予報で言っていました。石垣島→西表島のフェリーは結構縦揺れしました。窓側が人気でフェリーに乗船した時点で窓側は満席で真ん中の椅子しか空いていませんでした。救命胴衣は着用しませんでした。真ん中の方が揺れなさそうでした。仲間川のマングローブクルーズは進行方向右側に座る方が良さそうです。このクルーズは大満足でした。マングローブから由布島に向かうバスもちょこちょこ運転手さんが面白い話をしてくれるので楽しかったです。由布島に着いたら水牛車に振り分けられるのですが牛側と牛の逆側だと満足度がだいぶ違うと思います。由布島の自由行動はあと1時間弱あればゆっくりできてよかったです。ルイくん(水牛)と写真撮ってお昼ごはん食べて、ハイビスカスの写真を撮っていたら時間が来てしまって全体を回れませんでした。あと4月でしたが暑い。島の外側に防風林があるので島内はほぼ無風。夏はきついんじゃないかな。由布島→西表島はまた水牛車、その後バスでフェリー乗り場まで、フェリーで竹富島へ。竹富島では水牛プランを選びましたが、ぶっちゃけレンタサイクルで良いです。由布島で2回水牛に乗るのと、竹富島で水牛に乗っている(ちなみにすぐに乗れる訳ではなくて無意味に水牛車の会社で待ち時間があります)と残る時間が中途半端で何もできませんでした。また島の中心部からフェリー乗り場まで歩くと25分ほどかかるので水牛車の会社からフェリー乗り場まで出ているバスに乗った方が良いですが、約30分間隔ですし、フェリーの時間に接続していないのでフェリー乗り場で無駄に待ち時間があります。竹富島の満足度は低かったので、竹富島なしのプランor竹富島レンタサイクルプランがいいと思います。竹富島の水牛車のバスは本当に時間が微妙でした。
これ、ツアーといっても細切れで事業者が変わっていくだけなので、接続は微妙です。

体力が必要です。移動が多く歩かないのでそんなにしんどくないかなと思っていましたが普通に疲れました。客層は中年女性が多く、うるさかったです。とくに竹富島ではタトューでタバコ吸ってるヤンキーみたいな人が近くにいて普段関わらない人たちだったので、嫌な気分になりました。竹富島では喫煙エリアとか無いのでしょうか？

Next time, I want to join the sunset tour♪ This time I came with my friends, but next time I will come with my wife and enjoy it.

次回はサンセットツアーで参加したいです♪
今回は友達ときました、次回は奥さんと一緒にきて楽しみます。

I received a notification the day before that the experience time had changed, so we gathered at 8 AM and wrapped up around 12:30 PM. Since we didn't have a lunch break, the time was shortened, which actually turned out to be a good thing (we could go sightseeing in the afternoon).

The meeting point for snorkeling was Shigira Beach. The meeting point for the cave experience was a parking lot near Borazen Beach, and we walked a few hundred meters to the beach from there. After that, we paddled a canoe for a while and entered the water near the cave, making our way inside.

There were eight participants, and we had the same group throughout the entire experience. The snorkeling guide was a cheerful young woman, and the cave guide was a handsome young man.

**Positive Points:**
- The guides safely led us at key points. Thanks to them, we encountered sea turtles and clownfish. If I had been swimming alone, I wouldn't have known where the best spots were or what was safe. This time, we swam to a slightly distant small island, which I wouldn't have been able to reach on my own.

- The atmosphere was comfortable. I think the guides adjusted the pace according to the group's energy. I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling any strange pressure, which was helpful. Although I didn't actively engage in conversation with the other participants, we helped each other along the way and took photos together, creating a pleasant environment.

- We were able to visit places that we probably wouldn't have been able to go to without joining the tour. Technically, it would be difficult to reach inside the cave on our own, and it might be prohibited for the general public to enter such a sacred place. We had to climb inside the cave, but the guides provided appropriate support. They also explained the cave's structures and formations in an easy-to-understand manner.

- We were able to take a lot of photos. The underwater shots were of good quality. After the experience, they sent the photos via LINE on the same day.

**Points of Concern:**
- While we were in the water inside the cave and nearby, I couldn't stop shivering from the cold (mid-April). However, the other participants seemed to have no issues.

**Summary:**
I highly recommend this tour, especially for beginners in snorkeling and those interested in experiences unique to Miyako Island. Since I was able to experience snorkeling at the beginning of my trip, I was able to smoothly do my first independent snorkeling later on.

前日に体験時間変更の連絡があり、8時集合12時半頃解散となりました。昼休憩の時間がなくなってその分が短縮されただけでしたので、却って良かったです(午後に観光できるため)。

シュノーケリングの集合場所はシギラビーチ。鍾乳洞体験の集合場所は保良泉ビーチ近くの駐車場で、そこから数百メートル歩いてビーチまで向かいました。そこからカヌーをしばらく漕いで鍾乳洞付近で海中に身を入れ、中を進んでいきました。

参加者は8人で、全行程を通して同じメンバーでした。ガイドはシュノーケリングがギャルのお姉さん、鍾乳洞がイケメンのお兄さんでした。

＜良かった点＞
・ガイドさんが要所要所に安全に導びいてくれたこと。おかげさまでウミガメやクマノミ等に出会えました。個人でむやみに泳いでいたらどこが絶好のポイントなのか、どこが安全なのかがわからないと思います。今回はやや離れた小島まで泳いで行きましたが、単独ではそこまでいけなかったでしょう。

・過ごしやすい雰囲気だったこと。ガイドさんがメンバーのテンションに合わせて進行してくれていたのだと思います。変にプレッシャーを感じることなく過ごすことができ、助かりました。参加者の皆さんとは積極的に話す感じではありませんでしたが、途中助けてもらったり、カメラを撮り合ったりして、なごやかに過ごすことができました。

・ツアーに参加しなければいけないであろう場所に行けたこと。個人では鍾乳洞の中まで技術的にたどり着けないでしょうし、そもそも神聖な場所なので一般立ち入りが禁止されている可能性があります。洞窟の中ではよじ登ったりしますが、ガイドさんが適切にサポートしてくれます。洞窟の構造物や成り立ちについてもわかりやすく解説してくれました。

・たくさん写真を撮ってもらえること。海中でも画質良く撮れています。体験終了後、同日中にLINEで送っていただけました。

＜気になった点＞
・鍾乳洞内とその近辺の海水に浸かっている間、寒さで震えが止まらなかったこと(4月中旬)。ただ、私以外の参加者は皆問題なさそうに見えました。

＜まとめ＞
おすすめできるツアーです。特に、シュノーケリング初心者の方、宮古島でしか出来ない体験に興味がある方。旅行の序盤にこのツアーでシュノーケリングを経験できたため、その後個人での初めてのシュノーケリングもスムーズに行うことができました。

The coral was a bit sparse, and the tropical fish weren't as plentiful as I had hoped. It was a bit disappointing that the wind was strong, but the staff stayed with us the whole time, taking photos and even capturing footage with a drone. After the tour, they edited a short video with music and sent it to us via LINE, and I was incredibly impressed when I saw the footage! It was amazing.

珊瑚がすこし少なく熱帯魚も思ったほどでもなかった。少し風が強くのが残念だった、しかしながらスタッフの方がずう〜っと付いて写真を撮って頂きまたドローンから映像も撮って頂きツアー後短い時間で編集した音楽入りの動画をLINEでもらい、映像を見て大感激！最高でした。

I enjoyed the service in every situation, as it was pleasant and the explanations were thorough, allowing me to have a worry-free experience. I felt the prices were reasonable considering the quality and effort involved.

どの場面でも気持ちいい接客で説明も丁寧で不安なく楽しめました
料金も内容と手間や不安を考えても安いと感じました

don’t purchase this voucher if you have suica on your phone because it might charge your suica when you try to scan the QR code as you exit the station, (it also does not let you know that this happens so that you can notify the train station staff in time until after long after you’ve left the station )the QR code took a while to load due to poor Internet service so it also delayed travels. I was not made aware of this when I purchased the voucher that I should not have suica on my phone until after the purchase . I only rode the monorail twice and was charged on my suica for one of the rides (so ended up spending about 1100 yen for just 2 rides) and did not feel that I got value for what I purchased.

This was my second time snorkeling at Yaebikata. I signed up for a different tour than last time. This time, it was my first trip with just my son, and it was his second time snorkeling after doing it in Cebu, Philippines. He was incredibly moved by the beauty of the place. The tour we joined had a small group, with a total of 8 people. Although there were some waves that made me a bit seasick, it was still "Yabiji is the best." Everyone on this tour was really nice, and I appreciated the cozy atmosphere.

今回二度目の八重干潟のシュノーケルでした。
前回と違うツアーで申し込みしました。
今回は初の　息子と2人旅で　息子はフィリピンのセブ島でシュノーケルしたあとの2回目でしたが、あまりの綺麗さにめちゃくちゃ感動していました。今回お世話になったツアーは少人数制で合計8人でした。波も少しうねりがあって船酔いしてしまいましたが、やっぱり"やびじは最高"でした。
今回のツアーもとても良い方ばかりで、こぢんまりして良かったです。

This is a tour where you can enjoy the old town while being rocked in a water buffalo cart. Everyone's arrangements were good, and we were able to sightsee smoothly. It was fun.

水牛車に揺られ、昔の街並みを観光するツアーです。皆さんの段取りも良くスムーズに観光できました。楽しかったです。

This time, I chose to visit three islands: Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, where I had some free time. On Iriomote Island, I enjoyed a mangrove tour and rode a water buffalo. For lunch on Yufu Island, I had Orion beer and a delicious buffet. The highlight of this trip was the free exploration of Taketomi Island. I rented a bicycle and leisurely explored from Nishi Sanbashi to the star sand beach at Kaiji Beach, enjoying the charming streets with red-tiled roofs. It was absolutely wonderful!

今回は3島巡りで、自由時間がある西表島、由布島、竹富島巡りをチョイス。
西表島でマングローブ遊覧をし、水牛に乗り由布島での昼食は、オリオンビールと美味しいバイキング。
そして今回のメイン竹富島の自由散策。自転車をレンタルし西桟橋から星砂のカイジ浜、赤瓦が良い雰囲気の街並みをゆっくり散策できて最高に良かったです。

The driver was very kind. The car was clean, and the safe driving made it comfortable for my child, who usually gets car sick. I would like to use this service again.

とても親切な運転手さんでした。車内も清潔で、安全運転で車酔いする子供も大丈夫でした。また利用したいです。

I used a wheelchair, and the staff were very kind, helping me up and down the slopes at the Churaumi Aquarium. I would definitely like to use their services again. Thank you very much!

車椅子で利用させていただきましたが美ら海水族館の坂を行き帰り押していただいたりとても親切な方でまた利用したいなと思いました。本当にありがとうございました。

I imagined it would be more mangrove-like, but it turned out to be a river, haha. Still, we were blessed with good weather, and there were many trees that we can't see in Fukuoka. The guide explained everything clearly, so it seemed like the two boys in upper elementary school learned a lot!

もっとマングローブマングローブしたところかなーと想像していましたが、川でした笑
それでも天気に恵まれ、福岡ではることのできない木もたくさんあり、ガイドさんがわかりやすく説明してくれたので、小学高学年の男の子二人もとても勉強になったようでした！

There were five participants, including myself, on the day of the tour, and the tour guide provided very attentive service. Regarding Asmui, we only had 80 minutes for sightseeing, so we couldn't visit the Stone Museum. On the way back, there was a bit of traffic near Kyoda, but we safely returned to Omoromachi Station in Naha City around 5:30 PM. If you want to spend a full day sightseeing in the main island, I highly recommend this tour.

当日参加者は自分含めて5名でしたが、添乗員さんにすごく丁寧にサービスいただきました。アスムイに関しては80分の観光時間しかなかったため、石の博物館には行けませんでした。復路には許田のところに少し渋滞してましたけど、無事に17時半くらいに那覇市内のおもろまち駅に戻れました。本島観光の際に丸1日間潰したいなら、こちらのツアーが非常におすすめです。

The bus driver seemed a bit irritable, which was a little concerning for someone using the service for the first time.

バスの運転手さんの虫の居所が悪かったのかぶ然としていたので、初めて利用する者としてはちょっと気になった。

I had a great time. Next time, I want to join the sunset tour. I even received a mangrove seedling. Thank you very much!

とても楽しかった
今度はサンセットツアーに参加したい
マングローブの苗までいただきました。ありがとうございました

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was able to enjoy it while feeling safe!

My mother and I participated together, and at first, my mom struggled to move underwater and had to give up. However, they even called her back when a sea turtle appeared!

This time, while holding onto a float, I was able to meet the sea turtle safely and even took commemorative photos✨ (The photography skills were really impressive!)

I am very grateful for the thorough support provided! It became a precious memory of Miyako Island.

Thank you so much to all the instructors!

この度はじめてのシュノーケリングでしたが、安心しながら楽しめました！

母子2人の参加で、最初に母が水中で上手く動けず断念したのですが、ウミガメが現れたとのことでわざわざ呼び戻してくれました〜

今度は浮き輪につかまりながら、無事にウミガメにも会え、記念撮影もできました✨
(写真の腕もすごく良いです！)

こんなに丁寧にサポートしてくださるなんて、とても感謝しています！宮古島の貴重な思い出になりました

インストラクターのみなさま、本当にありがとうございました！

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was canceled due to bad weather the day before, and they suggested snorkeling at a different spot. I was a bit anxious about swimming, but our guide, Yutty, was very attentive and guided us well. My goggles kept slipping, and I apologize for the trouble, but he adjusted them for me while I was swimming, allowing me to fully enjoy the beautiful sea✨.

In mid-April, I participated without a wetsuit, and at first, I was surprised by the coldness of the water, but as I swam, I hardly felt the cold at all. I was also able to see two sea turtles swimming together, which made for a truly wonderful experience🐢.

前日に青の洞窟のシュノーケリングは天候不良の為中止とのご連絡があり、別のスポットでのシュノーケリングを提案していただきました。泳ぎに不安がありましたが、担当ガイドのゆってぃさんは丁寧にガイドしてくださいました。ゴーグルが何度もズレてしまい、ご迷惑をおかけしてしまいましたが、泳いでる最中に調整してくださり、綺麗な海を堪能できました✨
4月中旬にウェットスーツ着用なしでの参加で、初めは海の冷たさに驚きましたが、泳いでいるうちに冷たさは殆ど感じませんでした
ウミガメも二匹一緒に泳いでいる姿を見ることができ、とても素敵な体験をすることができました🐢

Tom is a knowledgeable and interactive Scuba certified English speaking guide. This was my first time snorkeling; got to see a whale shark (jinbei) and made it back alive because Tom’s instructions were clear and helpful. Tom is also an avid sea life photographer; his photos are better than anything I could have taken.

We were treated very kindly as adults, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were able to take many photos and videos with the sea turtles, and we are very satisfied! Thank you very much!!

だいぶ大人な私達に、とっても親切にして頂き、安心してシュノーケルを楽しむ事ができました。ウミガメとの写真や動画を沢山撮って貰えて大満足です！ありがとうございました！！

Crossing to Yubu Island, the water buffalo carts keep passing us by... So that was the message from the buffalo! They're so clever, showing what they want to say with their bodies... Sota-kun, that's right... It's tough every day, isn't it? I really enjoyed your body language. I want to ride again.

由布島への海渡り、どんどん抜かされる水牛車…あれが牛君のメッセージだったとは！
賢いんだ、言いたいこと、体で示そうよって、やってたんだ…ソータくん、そうだよね…毎日毎日、たいへんだよね…楽しかったよ、君のボディランゲージ。
また乗りたいと思うわたしでした。

This was my first time using the service. I was able to get explanations about the stars, and I was very satisfied with the many wonderful photos taken. I would like to request it again when I come back!

今回初めて利用させていただきました。
星の解説もしてもらえたり、
素敵な写真を沢山とってもらえて大満足です。また来た時はお願いしたいです！

My first trip to Ishigaki Island was truly wonderful thanks to this tour. The guide was very attentive and kind, and their knowledge of the mangrove trees, plants, animals, and history made canoeing while listening to their stories a lot of fun. They took their time with photography, creating the best sunset photos over the ocean and drone videos. It was amazing. The high-quality DSLR photography and drone footage became an invaluable treasure for my husband and me, who are in our sixties. I'm so glad I found this tour, and I highly recommend it to everyone. It was a very satisfying experience, and the stunning photos and aerial videos that I couldn't have captured myself became a unique record in the world.

初めての石垣島の旅、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。ガイドさんの丁寧で親切な案内とマングローブの木、植物、生き物。歴史など自然の事を熟知されていてお話を聞きながらカヌーを漕ぐのはとても楽しかったです。撮影も時間をかけてくださり、最高の海のサンセット写真とドローン動画を作成してくださいました。素晴らしいです。さすが一眼レフ撮影、ドローン撮影の記録、６０代の夫婦にとって、この上ない宝物になりました。このツアーを見つけて本当に良かった、皆さんにオススメします。大満足な体験、そして、(自分では撮れない)映える写真＆空中撮影の動画は世界に一つだけの記録になりました。

I was looking at photos and videos and thought it looked fun, so I decided to go for it and signed up. I got used to paddling quicker than I expected, and it was enjoyable to challenge myself under the mangroves multiple times. If I get the chance again, I definitely want to do it!

写真や動画を見ていてやってみたいなぁと思って、思い切って申し込んでみました。思っていたよりすぐに漕ぐことも慣れてきて、マングローブの下を何回もチャレンジしたり楽しかったです。またチャンスがあったら是非やりたいと思いました。

I’d like to introduce you to a fantastic local tour from VELTRA that I participated in during my recent trip to Okinawa! 👍

Blue Cave Snorkeling - Small group with thorough support! Underwater photography & free gifts included <Boat / Free pickup from hotels in Naha>

Tour price: 7,700 yen (pickup takes about 90 minutes one way from Naha)

With hotel pickup included, we took a boat from the port to the Blue Cave, and there was one guide for every two of us.

Our guide was excellent, kindly and patiently teaching us everything from how to put on the wetsuits, how to attach the snorkels, to how to get into the water, especially since our athletic skills have significantly declined. I would love to request Mr. Mori again next time.

For your reference, I highly recommend VELTRA's tour as the price is reasonable and the content was really great! 👍

今回の沖縄旅行で、参加して最高に良かったVELTRAさんの現地ツアーをご紹介しますね👍

青の洞窟 シュノーケリング　少人数制でしっかりサポート！水中写真撮影＆無料プレゼント＜ボート／那覇市内ホテル無料送迎＞

ツアー代金　7,700円（送迎は、那覇から片道90分程度付き）

ホテルまでの送迎付きで、港から青の洞窟までボートに乗って行き、私たち2人に1人のガイドさんがつきました。

とても良いガイドさんで、ウェットスーツの着かたから、シューノーケルの付け方、海への降り方まで、運動神経のかなり落ちた私たちに親切丁寧に教えていただけました。次回も森さんご指名したいくらいです。

ご参考まで
ベルトラさんのツアーは、価格もリーズナブルで内容もとっても良かったのでおすすめします👍

I enjoyed the great outdoors by strolling along the sandy beach with a clear view of Ie Island after passing through the Fukugi tree-lined path in Bise. At the Tropical Dream Center, I was able to experience not only the orchid flowers but also the Okinawan butterfly, baobab trees, jade vine, and various tropical fruit trees, making it a valuable experience and time shared.

備瀬のフクギ並木を抜けて、伊江島を望む透明な海の砂浜を散策して大自然を満喫しました。熱帯ドリームセンターではランの花はもちろん、オオゴマダラ・バオバブの木・ヒスイカズラ、熱帯の果樹の数々にふれることができて、貴重な体験・時間を共有することが出来ました。

I was able to visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day. On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle and rode to a beach with star sand, where I got so caught up in searching for star sand that I lost track of time and suddenly it was time to return to the boat. Next time, I would like to take it a bit more leisurely.

西表島、由布島、竹富島を1日でまわれました。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで星砂のあるビーチまで行き夢中になって星砂探しをしていてあっという間に帰りの船の時間になってしまいました。
次回はもう少しのんびりと行ってみたいです。

I went on my first trip to Okinawa and was worried about driving, so I used a charter taxi for two days. The driver was very friendly and a great person! I would like to use this taxi service again when I come back for another trip!

初めての沖縄旅行、運転が心配で、貸し切りタクシーを2日間利用しました。運転手さんがとても気さくで良い方でした！また旅行に来る時はこちらのタクシーを頼みたいです！

This tour allows for efficient sightseeing of the three Yaeyama Islands and is very satisfying in terms of content. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island, the water buffalo experience and sightseeing on Yufu Island, and cycling on Taketomi Island were all very enjoyable. The lunch on Yufu Island was delicious and had a local flavor. The only downside I noticed was that the bicycle used for cycling needed maintenance (the tires were low on air).

八重山3島を効率よく観光出来、満足の育や内容のツアーです。
西表島のマングローブ観光、由布島の水牛と由布島の観光、竹富島のサイクリング何処も満足の行く内容でした。
由布島の昼食も郷土色が感じられ美味しかったです。
あえて一つ残念なのは、サイクリングで利用した自転車のメンテナンス(タイヤの空気不足)が必要かと感じました。

I came last year as well. I was very pleased to be able to enjoy the Yaeyama fireflies that are only visible during this time of year again this year. I definitely want to participate again next year.

昨年も来ました。この時期だけの八重山ヒメボタルの観賞が今年もできたので大変良かったです。また、来年も是非参加したいです。
