All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

We kayaked up and down the Miyara River. My spouse and I participated, and thanks to the wonderful personality of our guide, we were able to enjoy a great atmosphere with the other participants. It wasn't just their personality; they also had a wealth of knowledge and answered all our questions about what we saw perfectly. I was truly impressed. After the experience, they also introduced us to recommended gourmet spots on Ishigaki Island, and I appreciated hearing the subjective opinions of a local resident. I hope to meet them again somewhere! 😊

宮良川をカヤックで登って、下りました。
夫婦2人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんの人柄の良さのおかげで、他の参加メンバーとも良い雰囲気の中で過ごすことができました。もちろん人柄だけではなく、色々な知識を有していて、目にしたものについての質問は完璧に応えてくれました。感服です。体験後には石垣島のおススメグルメも紹介してくれて、島の住人の主観的な意見を聞けたのも良かったと感じました。またどこかでお会いしたいです(^^)

We participated with two adults and a 4-year-old child. We were very satisfied as we could see not only the coconut crabs but also many other creatures, along with a beautiful starry sky. The guide was very curious and considerate of our lively child, which was extremely helpful. We had a wonderful time. This tour is highly recommended. Thank you very much.

夫婦2名と4歳の子連れで参加しました。
ヤシガニのほか多くの生き物のほか、綺麗な星空も見ることができて大変満足しています。
ガイドさんは好奇心旺盛でやんちゃな子供にも気遣ってくれて非常に助かりました。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。おすすめのツアーです。
ありがとうございました。

I was worried about what would happen since a typhoon was approaching, but on the day of the tour, it was incredibly sunny!
Mangrove cruise → rode a water buffalo to Yufu Island → had lunch → moved to Taketomi Island → rented bikes and toured the key spots on the island. I even dipped my feet in the sea at Kondoi Beach. We had some extra time, so we enjoyed cocktails at a café. Overall, it was a fulfilling experience, and I was very satisfied.
I think 15,000 yen is an excellent value for this!

台風が近づいてきたのでどうなるかと思いましたが、ツアー当日はめちゃ晴れ！
マングローブクルーズ→水牛乗って由布島へ移動→ランチ食べて→竹富島移動→レンタル借りて島の要所を見学。コンドイビーチで足まで海に浸かったり。少し時間も余ったのでカフェでカクテル飲んで全体的に充実していて大満足。
これで15000円はコスパ抜群だと思います！

The guidance was smooth, and the person in charge was also from Kansai, making it easy to talk. The tour content was great, with beautiful stars, good weather, and an excellent guide!

案内もスムーズで担当の方が同じ関西出身の方で話がしやすかったです。
ツアー内容も、星がきれいで天気もよくガイドも最高でした！

Even with a short stay, I was glad to be able to quickly visit various islands. On Iriomote Island, I enjoyed a mangrove tour with clear and polite explanations. The bus driver's announcements were also very entertaining. On Yubu Island, I rode a water buffalo cart while listening to the sound of the sanshin, and I was able to take commemorative photos with the water buffalo. After enjoying a delicious bento box, I leisurely strolled around the island. On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle and explored. I had a lot of fun planning my own route using a map to visit the places I wanted to see. However, when I encountered a water buffalo cart along the way and stopped to look around, I didn't know where to move out of the way. When I asked which direction they were going, I was told harshly, "You're in the way. We're going that way," which was intimidating. I've heard that being at a higher eye level can sometimes make people feel more confident, but the passengers on the cart looked at me and whispered, laughing derisively. I understand that stress can build up and make people irritable, but their aggressive remarks without answering my question were unpleasant. It might be better to silently and quickly move out of the way when encountering a water buffalo cart on the road. It's unfortunate that I couldn't end my experience on a good note due to the lingering frustration, but I think it was an efficient tour.

滞在日数が少なくても、色々な島をサクッと訪れることが出来て良かったです。西表島では、わかりやすい丁寧な説明を受けながらマングローブを遊覧出来て楽しかったです。バスの運転手さんのアナウンスもとても面白かったです。由布島では三線を音色を聴きながら水牛車に乗って、水牛と一緒に記念撮影が撮れました。美味しい幕の内弁当を食べたあと、島の中をゆったりと散歩しながら満喫する事も出来ました。竹富島では自転車レンタルをしてまわりました。地図を見ながら自分でルートを考えて見たいところを巡りましたが、とても楽しかったです。途中水牛車がいたので自転車を止めて周りを見ましたが、どこに避けたら良いのか分からず、どっちの方向へ行かれますか？と尋ねたら「邪魔なんだけど。そっち通るから。」とキツく言われて怖かったです。目線の位置が高くなると気持ちが大きくなったりする事があると聞いた事がありますが、乗っていた乗客もこちらを見てコソコソ話しながら馬鹿にしたように鼻で笑っていました。色々ストレスが溜まってイライラするのもわかりますが、質問にも答えず攻撃的な発言は不愉快でした。道で水牛車に出会ったら無言で急いで逃げるのが良いかもしれません。モヤモヤしたままで、気分良く終われなかったのは残念ですが、効率的なツアーだと思います。

We participated as a family of four adults and three children. The coral we saw from the glass-bottom boat was more vibrant and breathtaking than anything I had ever seen before. It was a different kind of excitement compared to snorkeling! Both adults and children were thrilled. The water buffalo tour allowed us to see the town of Taketomi Island at a leisurely pace, and we also enjoyed the lovely songs from our guide. It was a hot day, but the water buffalo cart was cool in the shade.

大人4人、子供3人の家族で参加。グラスボートから見る珊瑚は、今まで見たことがないほど、色鮮やかで、感動的でした。シュノーケリングとはまた違った感動があります！大人も子供も大興奮でした。水牛での周遊は、竹富島の町中をゆっくり見られ、また、ガイドさんの素敵な歌も聞けてよかったです。暑い日でしたが、水牛の荷台は、日陰で涼しかったです。

I recommend signing up for this tour on the first day. This way, you can get a good grasp of the sightseeing options and narrow down what you want to experience. I was able to make reservations for the things I wanted to do from the second day onward, which made for a fulfilling trip.

The water buffalo cart experience was great, as it allowed us to enjoy two different conditions. The glass-bottom boat offered high underwater visibility, and we could see plenty of fish clearly.

初日にこのツアーの申し込みをおすすめします。これにより観光内容がだいたいつかめるので、何を体験んしたいかが絞れました。２日目以降体験したいことを予約し充実した旅行になりました。
水牛車は二カ所違う条件で体験できよかった。
グラスボートは水中透明度が高く魚もよく見えました。

I was able to finally find the coconut crab! I also encountered various creatures like turtles and owls. It was so much fun to explore and search for them in nature, so I'm really glad I participated! ◡̈

念願のヤシガニを見つけることができました！他にもカメやフクロウなど様々な生き物に出会えました。自然の中を進んで自分で探すのがとっても楽しかったので参加してよかったです◡̈

Since I boarded first, I asked the captain and guide which side would be better to sit on, and they said, "Both sides are the same. We'll turn around on the way back. It might be better to sit on the left side, which won't be in the sun until we depart." So, I sat on the left. On the way there, they provided a detailed explanation while getting close to the mangroves on the right side, but on the way back, perhaps due to the tide, we just returned down the middle. I can only say it's disappointing that I couldn't see up close while listening to the explanations. Shouldn't we also get close on the left side, as mentioned in the initial announcement?

1番に乗り込んだので、船頭兼ガイドさんに座る席は右か左どちらが良いか聞いたら、「どちらも同じ。帰りは折り返すので。出航まで日の当たらない左が良いのでは？」と言われて左に座った。往き、右側をマングローブに近寄りながら丁寧に説明していらっしゃったが、帰りは潮の加減か、真ん中をただ帰るだけだった。説明を聴きながら近くで見ることができず、残念というしかない。最初のアナウンス通り、同じように左も近寄るべきではないですか？

It was a 5-hour course, and I was very satisfied with the thorough guidance on the highlights of Ishigaki Island.

We visited the limestone caves, Ishigaki Yaima Village, and the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, which had stunning views. They took us to many places. I would like to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island.

5時間のコースでしたが、オススメの石垣島の、見どころをたっぷり案内してくださり大満足でした

鍾乳洞に、石垣やいま村に、川平湾グラスボートに、絶景のスポット。沢山連れて行ってくださいました。
また、石垣島行った際は、利用したいです。

The water buffalo's akahachi-kun added great flavor, and I was able to enjoy it leisurely. Cycling around the island with a rental bike and catching the last ferry was just perfect. I was very satisfied to have visited all the spots on Taketomi Island!

水牛のあかはちくんがいい味を出してくれてて、のーんびり堪能できました。
レンタサイクルで島一周して最後のフェリーでちょうど良かったです。
竹富島のスポットを全部周れて大満足でした！

I was able to encounter many creatures, such as the natural monument box turtle, habu snake, coconut crab, and glowing firefly larvae! The children were also very happy.
I could clearly see shooting stars and the Milky Way, and it was truly beautiful.
The guide was kind and had interesting stories, making for a fun time!

天然記念物のハコガメやハブ、ヤシガニ、光る蛍の幼虫など沢山の生き物に出会うことができたした！子どもも大喜びでした。
流れ星や天の川も、ハッキリ見れて本当に綺麗でした。
ガイドさんも親切でお話が面白くて、楽しい時間を過ごせました！

I was taken to places in Ishigaki Island that I had never been to before! I really wanted to see a lot of beautiful scenery, so I asked to go to as many places as possible within the time limit. I wanted to visit Kabira Bay, and for the rest, I left it up to my guide. It was also great that we stopped by a shop for delicious pineapple juice along the way.

石垣島で今まで行ったことのないところへ連れて行ってもらえました！とにかく綺麗な景色をたくさん観たかったので、時間内に行けるだけ行ってもらいました。
川平湾は行きたかったので、それ以外はお任せで連れて行ってもらいました。途中で美味しいパイナップルジュースのお店にも寄ってもらえたのも良かったです。

I participated with my son (4th grade) and we had a great time all day! There were no complaints or issues. I highly recommend it. According to my son, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Ishigaki Island. If I had to mention something... the canoe tour gets your backside wet. It's brown. The cave tour requires you to wait under the blue sky. Everyone ends up sweating while waiting...

息子（小4）と父の二人で参加です。
終日、楽めましたよ！！特に不満もなく問題もないです。オススメです
息子曰く、今回の石垣島の一番は本件のツアーだったようです。
強いて言うと、、
カヌーツアーはお尻濡れます。茶色いです。
洞窟ツアーは青空のもと待ちます。皆様、汗だくになりながら待ちます。。

Iriomote Island: It seems that 90% of the island is a protected area, truly giving it a jungle feel. The mangroves were quite impressive!

Yubu Island: The water buffalo carts are a must-see! The buffalo driver plays Okinawan songs on the sanshin.

Taketomi Island: The sea was incredibly beautiful! I think the combination of the sandy beach and the emerald green sea is among the best in the outlying islands. Riding a bicycle in the midsummer heat can be a bit tough, though... haha.

There are repeated transfers by boat and bus, which can be quite strenuous. Be careful of motion sickness. However, this tour is perfect for efficiently exploring three completely different islands and finding your favorite one!

西表島　　島の９割が保護区域だそうで、まさにジャングルという感じ。マングローブにはかなりの迫力がありました！
由布島　　なんといっても水牛車！牛者さん？が三線で沖縄の歌を演奏してくれます。
竹富島　　海がとっても綺麗でした！砂浜とエメラルドグリーンの海の綺麗さが離島の中でもトップクラスだと思います。真夏の自転車が少しきついですが…笑
船やバスでの移動が繰り返しあり、かなりハードではあります。乗り物酔い注意です。ですが、全く違う三島が効率よく回れ、お気に入りの島を見つけるにはもってこい！のツアーです。

I finally made it to my long-awaited trip to Ishigaki Island! One of the things I planned was a night tour, which I booked from here! On the day of the tour, despite a few clouds in the sky, it started with the guide saying, "You rarely see a sunset like this!" and they kept the energy up with lots of conversation in the car!

When we arrived at the point and the tour began, the guide provided detailed explanations about various plants and creatures, as well as the terrain, making it really enjoyable! We spotted two coconut crabs, and even though there were some clouds, we were able to see the Milky Way at the guide's special spot!

This was the perfect start to my three-year-awaited trip to Ishigaki Island! The guide, Moepi, was amazing!! Thank you!!!

念願の石垣島旅行にやっと来れました！
色んなことを計画した中の一つにナイトツアーを選びこちらから予約しました！
当日、空に少し雲がかかる中、いきなりガイドさんの「こんな夕焼けなかなかないですよっ！」の一言から始まり、車中でもたくさん話してくれてテンションをあげてもらいました！
ポイントに着きツアーが始まると、色んな植物や生物の説明を詳しく教えてくれたり地形の説明などもおりまぜ楽しませてもらいました！ヤシガニも2匹見つかり、少し雲がかかっていた空もガイドさんのとっておきのポイントで天の川も見れました！
三年越しの石垣島旅行の最高のスタートになりました！
ガイドの『もえぴー』最高〜！！
ありがとー！！！

I only saw two coconut crabs, but thanks to the incredibly clear weather, I was able to see a sky full of stars! The Milky Way was so visible that I could even capture it on my smartphone.

ヤシガニ二匹しか見れませんでしたが、天気がめちゃめちゃ晴れてたおかげで満天の星空が見れました！天の川もスマホでも映れるくらいばっちり見えました。

The night tour was definitely the right choice!
I was able to see many creatures that I wouldn't normally encounter, such as coconut crabs, fireflies, and camel crickets.
Along the way, the guide shared many stories about Ishigaki Island. They were a wonderful guide.
The starry sky was also amazing.
This time, I participated with just my child, but the next time I come to Ishigaki Island, I want to join with the whole family.

It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

ナイトツアー、参加して大正解でした！
ヤシガニ、蛍、カマドウマなどなど、普段なら見ることのできない生物がたくさん見れました。
道中も、ガイドさんが石垣島のお話などたくさんしてくれました。すごく素敵なガイドさんでした。
星空も最高でした。
今回は子供と2人での参加でしたが、次に石垣島に来るときは家族みんなで参加したいです。

とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

I encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling in the Blue Cave. The tour guide was also very kind, making it a wonderful memory!

青の洞窟でのシュノーケリング時にウミガメに遭遇しました。
また、ツアーガイドの方がとても親切で、良い思い出になりました！

The tour content was satisfying. We delayed the ferry from Taketomi Island to arrange our own cycling, and although it was brief, we were able to enjoy swimming in the sea, which made the kids happy.

ツアーの内容は満足。竹富島からのフェリーを遅らせてサイクリングを自己アレンジして、束の間でしたが海水浴もでき、子供は満足でした。

It had quite a jungle feel to it. The kids were really excited. There were plenty of insects, birds, hermit crabs, coconut crabs, snakes, and owls. Thank you very much. However, since it was a night tour, the kids started to get sleepy towards the end... and the night view wasn't that impressive either (-_-;) It was a tour that lived up to its popularity. The guide was also very attentive, which made it reassuring for families with children. It was a great help!!

割とジャングル感あり
子供はテンション上がってました。
虫、鳥、ヤドカリ、ヤシガニ、ハブ、梟と盛沢山。
ありがとうございました。
なにぶん、ナイトツアーなだけに子供は終盤眠気が勝ります。。&夜景には然程、、でしたね(-_-;)
人気なのも納得なツアーでした。
ガイドさんも丁寧で子連れでも安心。助かりました！！

Thank you for today.
I was able to feel my daughter's growth as she, who is usually timid and doesn't touch living creatures, picked up a hermit crab.
We were able to see various creatures such as coconut crabs, crabs, fireflies, four types of crabs, lizards, and owls, and the stars were incredibly beautiful, which was a wonderful experience that we can't have in our everyday lives.
Both adults and children participated with excitement and enjoyment.
It was a nice point that our guide, Mr. Kimura, was very good at storytelling and paid attention to the children.

今日はありがとうございました。
いつもはびびりで生き物触れない娘がヤドカリを掴んでいて子どもの成長を感じることが出来ました。
生き物はヤシガニ、カニ、ホタル、カニ4種類、トカゲ、ミミズクを見ることができて、星がものすごくきれいに見えたのが普段暮らしているところではできないとてもいい体験ができました。
大人も子どももドキドキ楽しく参加できました。
ガイドの木村さんがとってもお話し上手で子どもにも気を配ってくれたのがうれしいポイントでした。

I participated in the tour because I wanted to explore other islands before going to Kohama Island the day after tomorrow. This tour is packed with highlights from each island.

The mangrove cruising in Iriomote was limited due to water depth, but I enjoyed the tropical plants. Riding the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island was a long-time dream come true for me. It felt completely different from the mainland, almost like being overseas. Yubu Island is a tropical botanical garden, so I got to see beautiful flowers. The gelato I had there was the best.

On Taketomi Island, I rented a bicycle and went cycling. I swam at a very beautiful beach and then returned. There are free changing rooms and showers, so if you love swimming, definitely bring your swimsuit!

I still have more to say, but thank you for such a fulfilling and enjoyable time.

小浜島には翌々日に行くので、それ以外を周りたいと思い参加しました。それぞれの島の見どころがギューっと詰まったツアーです。
西表のマングローブクルージングは水深の関係で奥まで行けませんでしたが、南国の植物を楽しめました。由布島の水牛車は昔から乗ってみたくて念願の初体験です。本土とは全く違う雰囲気で海外のようでした。由布島は熱帯植物園なので、綺麗な花が見られます。そこで食べたジェラートは最高でした。竹富島では自転車を借りて、サイクリング。とても綺麗なビーチで泳いで帰りました。無料の更衣室やシャワーがあるので、海水浴がお好きな方は是非水着持参で！
まだまだ書き足りませんが、とても充実した楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

My 6-year-old daughter went snorkeling and canoeing for the first time, and the guide was great with kids. He attended to my somewhat spoiled daughter without any signs of annoyance, allowing both of us to relax and enjoy the experience.

As soon as we started snorkeling, we were thrilled to see clownfish! The water was very clear, and the coral looked beautiful.

Canoeing was easier than I expected, and we made good progress. The headwind on the way back felt really nice.

In between the tour activities, the guide shared interesting trivia about Ishigaki, which was fun, and he took lots of photos for us. I appreciated the thoughtful gesture of providing bottled water to wash off the sand from our shoes after the tour.

I was truly satisfied that my daughter had her first snorkeling experience in Ishigaki Island! Thank you so much.

In summary, it was a wonderful tour, and I highly recommend it, especially for families visiting Ishigaki Island!

6歳娘、初めてのシュノーケリング＆カヌーでしたが、ガイドのお兄さんが子供慣れしていて
ワガママな娘にも嫌な顔一つせずにアテンドしてくださり、親子共々、終始リラックスして参加することができました。

シュノーケリング始まり、すぐに、クマノミに会えて感動！海の透明度も高く、珊瑚もとても綺麗に見えました。

カヌーは、思ったより簡単でサクサク進み、特に帰りの向かい風がとても気持ちが良かったです。

ツアーの合間合間に、お兄さんか石垣の色んな豆知識を教えてくださり面白かったですし、写真もたくさーん、撮って頂きました♩ツアーの後に、靴の砂を落とすために、ペットポトルのお水をご準備頂くなど細かな心配りがありがたかったです。


娘にとって人生初のシュノーケリングが石垣島でできて、本当に大満足でしたー！！ありがとうございました。

総括すると、とっても素晴らしいツアーなので、
石垣島に来られたら、特に家族連れの方はオススメです！！

Although it was a same-day reservation, the guide provided detailed knowledge throughout the night safari and taught us about various plants and animals, including coconut crabs, hermit crabs, and crabs. After the rain, the stars were beautifully visible.

当日予約でしたが、ガイドの方がナイトサファリ道中詳しい知識で色々と教えてくださり、ヤシガニやヤドカリ、蟹など色々と動植物を見ることができました。雨が降った後で星も綺麗に見えました

I was very satisfied to see many mystical things, such as coconut crabs and coral caves, under the starry sky. Especially, the guide was a bright and wonderful person, and her clear way of speaking made it easy to understand, which made this tour even more special. They lent me rubber boots, and I was completely fine without getting bitten by bugs even in short sleeves.

Thank you very much!

満天の星空の中、ヤシガニやサンゴの洞窟など
神秘的なものがたくさん見れて大満足でした。
特にガイドのお姉さんが明るく素敵な方で
ハキハキとした話し方は聞きとりやすく
このツアーをさらに特別な思い出にしてくれました。
長靴を貸してくださり、半袖でも全然虫にさされず大丈夫でした。

ありがとうございました！

I had a great time with a plan to quickly explore Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island in one day. The lunch was quite substantial. The plan included riding a water buffalo on Taketomi Island, but the water buffalo took a while to arrive, which made me anxious about whether we would make it in time for the bus. I felt that it would have been better to shorten the stay on Yufu Island to one hour and extend the time on Taketomi Island instead.

西表島、竹富島と　1日でざっと回れるプランで楽しかったです。お昼ご飯も結構ボリュームがあります。竹富島で水牛に乗るプランでしたが、水牛がなかなかこず、その後のバスの時間が決められていたため、間に合うのかとハラハラさせられました。由布島での滞在時間を1時間にして、その分、竹富島での滞在時間を延ばしたプランがいいなと感じました。

The itinerary included representative spots on Ishigaki Island, with lunch provided and explanations from the guide, making it very easy to understand. The guide also sang songs typical of Okinawa, which made for a pleasant bus tour. It was very convenient to be able to stop at the airport along the way, and I think the tour price is quite reasonable.

石垣島で代表的な箇所をおおよそプランの中に組み込まれ、昼食付き、ガイドさんの説明ありでとてもわかりやすかった。ガイドさんの沖縄らしい歌もあり心地よいバス観光を楽しめました。空港での途中下車も可能で大変便利で、ツアー料金もお値打ちなプランだと思います

In the morning, I experienced SUP for the first time in the mangrove forest at Miyara River. It was quite challenging, and I struggled to go straight, but with the guidance of our instructor, I managed to enjoy the tour without falling even once.

My bottom got a little wet, but my whole body didn't get soaked.

In the afternoon, we gathered at the Euglena Island Terminal and drove to the northern side of the island for snorkeling in the Blue Cave. During low tide, we could walk right up to the entrance of the Blue Cave. After seeing the Blue Cave, we prepared our snorkeling gear and ventured a bit offshore, where we were able to see various fish in the coral reef. It was a wonderful experience to observe a sea that was even more beautiful than I had imagined.

午前中に宮良川でマングローブ林の中､SUPを初めて体験しました｡なかなか難しくまっすぐ進まないのですがガイドさんに教わりながら一度も転倒せずに観光できました｡

お尻が濡れるくらいで身体全体は濡れなかったです｡

午後からはユーグレナ離島ターミナル集合で車で島の北側に移動｡青の洞窟のシュノーケリングでした｡干潮の時間帯で歩いたまま青の洞窟の入り口まで行けるくらいでした｡青の洞窟を見た後でシュノーケルの準備をして少し沖に出て珊瑚礁の海で様々な魚を見ることが出来ました｡想像以上に美しい海を観察できて良い体験でした｡

The guide was very kind and taught us a lot. We were able to see coconut crabs and small scorpions, and the kids were thrilled. The starry sky was also very beautiful, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

ガイドのお兄さんがとても親切で色々教えてくれました。
ヤシガニも小さなサソリも見れて、子供たちも大喜びでした。星空もとてもきれいで、楽しい一時を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました‼️
