All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I'm glad we were able to visit various places by bus, including those that are not accessible by car. It was great to go to Kawahira Park and see fish while on the glass-bottom boat. We were able to see sea turtles as well.

バスで、色々な場所、車でないと行かれない場所など行って頂き良かったです、川平公園、グラスボート行かれ魚見られ良かったです、ウミガメは見られた、

The water buffalo cart, mangrove tour, and Taketomi Island were all fantastic. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

It was tough to wake up early, and it was disappointing that the soup and rice for lunch were cold.

水牛車もマングローブ遊覧も竹富島もすごく良かったです。
このツアーに参加して本当に良かった。

朝が早いのが大変だったのと、昼食のお吸い物とご飯が冷めていたのは残念でした。

The Ishigaki Island trip and the Mijima tour were great. It was my first experience with mangroves and water buffalo. I was moved. Taketomi Island was a bit lacking, but it was so unique that it didn't feel like I was in the same Japan. It was an efficient sightseeing experience.

石垣島旅行の三島ツアー良かったです。マングローブも水牛も初体験。感動しました。竹富島は少しものたりなかったけど、同じ日本とは思えないほど独特でした。効率の良い観光です。

It was my first experience with a water buffalo! I was surprised by the strength of the water buffalo, pulling about 15 adults! I was able to leisurely explore Taketomi Island while listening to the shamisen.

初めての水牛体験でした！
大人15人程が乗っているのに水牛1頭で引っ張ってくれて力の強さにびっくりしました！
竹富島内を三味線を聴きながらゆっくりみることができました。

I had an absolutely wonderful time!

After seeing stories from travel YouTubers about not being able to buy tickets for the ox cart and reading everyone's reviews, I was able to efficiently explore Taketomi Island by bus. The subtropical scenery of Yubu Island was so cute! After enjoying our bento, we relaxed at a gelato shop while looking at Manta Beach. If you're unsure on your first visit to an outer island, I definitely recommend visiting all three islands.

I had two small children with me, but they had a great time too! There were restrooms available everywhere.

The day before, I had a terrible experience with a different company, ○○ Pipi, who completely stood me up after I made a reservation through their site. I regretted not booking directly with a specialized company. However, Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism was specialized in outer islands, so I felt reassured! They did get my last name wrong, but it was fine!

結果最高に楽しめました♪

旅系YouTuber達が牛車のチケット買えなかった話を見たり皆さんの口コミを見て竹富島はバスで効率良く回れました♪由布島の亜熱帯の景色が可愛くて♡お弁当の後はマンタ浜を眺めながらジェラート屋さんでのんびり♪初めての離島で迷ったら是非3島周った方が良いですね。

小さい子供2人居ましたがちゃんと楽しんでいました♪トイレが至る所にありました。

前日にこちらのサイトで予約していた違う会社○○ピピにすっぽかされ散々な目に遭ったので…専門の会社に直接予約すればよかった…と警戒していましたが石垣島ドリーム観光さんは離島が専門で安心できます♪名字間違えてたけど大丈夫です笑

The way the guide spoke and the atmosphere were unique and very Okinawan, which made it a lot of fun. The cows were also taking their time, and I was healed by the song of the last guide.

案内してくれる方の話し方、雰囲気が独特で沖縄っぽくて非常に楽しかったです。
牛さんも休み休みゆっくりで、最後の案内人の方の歌に癒されましたぁ。

I participated in the tour because I wanted to experience nature beyond the sea. Fortunately, the weather was great, I was able to see the stars, and I encountered a coconut crab. I also got to hear explanations about plants and geography, and overall, I had a wonderful time.

海以外で自然にふれあえたかったのでツアーに参加しました。
運良く天候にも恵まれ、星も見られ、ヤシガニにもあえました。植物や地理に関する説明などもきけ、総じて楽しむことができました。

We joined a tour because my 5-year-old and 3-year-old really wanted to see coconut crabs. We went to a location that is not accessible to the general public by car, explored for about an hour, and were able to see our long-awaited coconut crabs—three of them! We also saw many other creatures that we usually can't see, and it seems the kids had a lot of fun and were very satisfied. Since it was cloudy this time, I hope we can see the starry sky next time.

5歳と3歳の子供がヤシガニがどうしても観たいということでツアーに参加しました。
車で一般の人では立ち入れないようなポイントに行き、1時間ほど探索し念願のヤシガニを3匹見ることができました！
他にも普段見ることの出来ない生物がたくさん観られて子供達もとても楽しかったと満足したようです。
今回は曇っていたので観れなかった星空を次回は観れたらいいなと思います。

I went for my birthday and it was a nice experience. The current was a little bit strong so we went to a different area for snorkeling. It is perfect for beginners or if it’s your first time snorkeling. Staff was so nice.

I’m not sure if you should really call it jungle or maybe I was expecting something else but it is kind of a trail to the beach area. It was fun and not scary at all, nonetheless. Thanks!

Since I knew it would rain from the morning, I thought I would get by visiting tourist spots by bus. It didn't seem like the rain would stop, and the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was canceled, which was a bit disappointing. However, the guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I wasn't bored. When we arrived at Kabira Bay, there wasn't a single person around, and only a few glass-bottom boats were floating in the bay. There were no staff members, and it was very quiet. It felt surreal. Previously, I had visited on a sunny day and seen a lively scene, so I was instead healed by the calmness of Kabira Bay. I thought it would be nice to slowly enjoy a coffee while looking at this scenery. There are ways to enjoy rainy days too.

朝から雨と分かってたので、バスで観光地巡りで凌ごうと思いました。雨は止みそうに無いし、川平湾のグラスボートは中止となって「何だかなぁ〜」でもガイドさんのお話しも分かりやすくて退屈はしませんでした。そして川平湾に着くと人っ子一人居なくて湾の中にグラスボートだけ何隻か浮かんでる。スタッフも誰も居なくてとっても静か。幻想的でした。以前、晴れの日に来て賑やかな光景を観てたので逆に穏やかな川平湾に癒されました。この風景を見ながらゆっくりコーヒーを飲みたいなあーと思いました。雨の日の楽しみ方も有るんですね。

The boat trip along the mangroves on Nakata river on Iriomote Jima was very nice. Outstanding was the excursion with the buffalo cart towards Yubu Jima.

I participated a few years ago, and this is my second time. The guide's pleasant voice was nice. There was no sanshin and singing this time, but the explanations about the sights were thorough. During the first visit, I was able to see the primeval forest, but this time it was just from the car window. For lunch, the main dish, hamburger? or tsukune?, was too sticky for my taste, but the simmered dishes were very delicious. The portion of white rice was small and left me wanting more.

数年前に参加して今回は2回目です。
ガイドさんの心地よい声がよかったです。三線と歌は今回はなかったですがその分、観光の説明が丁寧でした。
１回目は原生林も見学出来たのですが今回は車窓でした。
昼食はメインのハンバーグ？つくね？がねっとりしてて口に合いませんでしたが煮物はとても美味しかったです。白米の量が少なく物足りなかったです。

The water buffalo carrying 16 people crossed the sea, walking steadily. I was just riding along, but in my heart, I was cheering them on. The water buffalo on Yubu Island was soothing. On Taketomi Island, everything was closed due to a festival, but in a way, it was lucky to see the island's festival. It was a tour that packed together the best aspects of each island. I had a great time. Thank you.

16人も乗せて海をわたる水牛、淡々と歩く水牛、私は乗ってるだけでしたが、心の中では応援してたよ。由布島の水牛には、癒されました。竹富島は、丁度お祭りで、お店は全てCloseでしたが、島のお祭りを、見れたのはある意味ラッキーでした。それぞれの島の良いところを、ぎゅっと詰め合わせたツアーでした。楽しめました。ありがとう。

During the journey, you shared little stories and taught us various things about Ishigaki Island, which was enjoyable! It was also great that you played the sanshin for us.

移動のときも小話をしてくださって、石垣島のことをいろいろ教えてください、楽しかったです！三線を引いてくださるのも良かったです。

妻と私は素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました！私にとって初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても簡単で楽しかったです。

特に、ガイドのディエゴはイケメンで、すべてをとても簡単に説明してくれました。彼のおかげでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。そして、ディエゴの助けで海蛇を見ることができました。

このアクティビティを強くお勧めします。

追伸：イケメンのディエゴは運転中に石垣島の歴史を説明してくれました。それが土地を理解するのに役立ちました。

My wife and me could make awesome memory! It was my first snorkeling but it was so easy and a lot of fun.

Especially, our guide Diego, ikemen, explains everthing so easy. It help me to enjoy snorkeling. And, I could see a sea snake with Diego's help.

I strongly recommend this activity.

P. S. The ikeman explain Ishigaki's history while driving. It help me to understand the land.

I took a water buffalo cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. The ride there was more relaxed than I expected, and the return trip was a bit quicker. 😊 It seems that the travel time varies depending on the age and personality of the water buffalo, which was quite interesting! 😆✨

水牛車で西表島から由布島に行って来ました。思っていたより行きはゆったり、帰りは少し早く😊水牛さんの年齢と性格で移動時間は変わる様ですがそこが面白かったです😆✨

Due to the ocean conditions, we changed to a half-day SUP cruise on the Miyara River on the day of our visit. Paddling slowly through the mangrove forest was an emotional experience, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of nature. Our guide Hina from PiPi was also very knowledgeable about nature, and learning about the fascinating ecology of the mangrove trees was truly educational!

海の状況から半日のSUP宮良川クルーズに当日に変更していただきました。ヒルギの森をゆっくりSUPで流していくだけで、大自然の美しさや静けさが感動的でした。PiPiのガイドのヒナさんも自然の知識が豊富で、ヒルギの木の不思議な生態などホントの勉強になりました！

The guide's talk was informative, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time experiencing the beautiful scenery and culture. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんのお話も勉強になり、ゆったりと美しい景色と文化に触れるひとときを楽しむ事が出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

The water buffalo crossing to Yubu Island was very cute, and I fell in love with it. The tour content was also very enjoyable and fulfilling. On Taketomi Island, it was free time, but I was able to rent a bicycle locally and visit various beaches.

由布島に渡る水牛さんがとても可愛くて、好きになりました。ツアー内容もとても楽しく、充実していました。
竹富島では、フリーでしたが現地でレンタサイクルも出来て、いろんなビーチにも行くことができました。

The weather was not great, but the guide's stories were interesting, and I had a great time throughout the tour. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again.

天気はイマイチでしたが、ガイドさんの話が面白くてツアー中ずっと楽しく過ごしました。ありがとうございました。また参加したいと思います。

It was unfortunately rainy, but we enjoyed the glass boat and the kids were happy. It might be good to have some motion sickness medication.

The food might not have been suitable for kids.

Overall, it was good.

あいにくの雨でしたが　グラスボートは楽しめて子供も喜んでました。
少し酔い止めがあった方が良いかも

食事が子供向けではなかったかも

でも全体によかったです

It was unfortunately rainy, but I had a great time. Cycling was very enjoyable, and the occasional blue sky was more than enough. Since it was December, it felt a bit cold.

あいにくの雨でしたが十分に楽しめました
サイクリングがとても楽しく　時折見せた青空でも十分でした
12月なので少し寒い感じでした

It was a valuable experience that you can't have in a very urban setting. Although I couldn't see any living creatures during the winter, the starry sky was amazing. I was able to see many shooting stars as well.

とても都会では体験できない貴重な体験でした
冬場で　生き物は見れませんでしたが　星空が最高でした
たくさんの流れ星も見れました

Due to the weather, the snorkeling in the afternoon was moved to another beach. Safety first! It was a fantastic experience. We gathered at 1:30 PM at the red mailbox in the terminal. The guides from Adventure Pipi are all young, energetic, and speak English very well. I really liked it!

由于天气原因 风太大 把下午的浮潜换到了另一个沙滩 安全第一 非常棒的体验 13:30 在terminal的红色邮箱这里集合 adventure pipi的guide都很年轻 很有活力 会讲英语 很喜欢

I started with a free walk on Taketomi Island, but two hours flew by, and I realized that a rental bicycle is essential since you can't cover everything just by walking. During the free walk, it was inconvenient because the shops were still closed, and there were no restrooms nearby.

The water buffalo cart ride and mangrove tour were definitely worth experiencing, and I was able to spend my time meaningfully.

竹富島のフリーウォークから始まりましたが2時間はあっという間で、ウォークだけでは回りきれないのでレンタサイクルが必須だと思いました。フリーウォーク中はまだお店が閉まっている時間帯で周りにトイレがないので不便を感じました。
水牛車やマングローブ遊覧は体験する価値ありで有意義に過ごすことができました。

It was great to be able to sightsee efficiently. Traveling by bus can be challenging for individuals due to time constraints, but the movement was very smooth.

効率的に観光できてとても良かった。
個人ではバス移動など時間の問題があるのでなかなか難しいけどとてもスムーズに移動できた。

I was satisfied with the tour, which included a ride on a water buffalo cart around the Taketomi Island village, island hopping, and a visit to the mangrove forest. I would have liked to visit the Wildcat Center as well, if possible.

水牛車での竹富島集落周遊、島渡りにマングローブ林見学など盛り沢山のツアーで満足でした。出来れば山猫センターにもいきたかったです。

I'm really glad I participated since the weather was great. The water buffalo was cute. Depending on the season, I recommend renting a bicycle or taking the bus on Taketomi Island. I went during Golden Week, and it was hot, so walking might be quite tough... I think it's a cost-effective and just right tour for first-time visitors to the island.

天気に恵まれていたので本当に参加して良かったです。水牛がかわいかった。季節にもよりますが、竹富島はレンタサイクルかバスをお勧めします。G Wに行きましたが暑かったので歩くのは相当辛いかと…初めて島に行く人にはコスパも良く丁度良いツアーだと思います。

I traveled for the first time using an electric wheelchair due to my physical limitations. I was very worried because the electric wheelchair is heavy, but all the staff provided support without any negative expressions, allowing me to complete the entire journey. I am filled with gratitude. Thank you very much.

身体が不自由で今回初めてに電動車いすで旅行しました。電動車いすは重量もあるのでとても心配していましたが、スタッフの方全てが嫌な顔ひとつもせずサポートをしてくれて全行程を巡る事が出来ました。感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。本当にありがとうございました。
