All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I participated in the afternoon tour. Although the price is the same as the morning tour, the afternoon one is one hour shorter. The places we visited were reduced, and I couldn't go to the scenic spots I wanted to see. It was stated that lunch was included, so I joined with an empty stomach, but it turned out to be just a light snack. If the tour content is different, it should be clearly stated, and if the afternoon tour is shorter, shouldn't the price be adjusted as well? I was really looking forward to the only island sightseeing, so I was disappointed.

午後のツアーに参加しました。午前と料金同じなのに午後の方が1時間短い。訪れる場所が削られ、行きたかった景勝地に行けませんでした。
ランチがついてると書いてたので、お腹を空かして参加したところ軽食。ツアー内容が違うなら違うと記載する必要がありますし、午後の方が時間も短いのであれば料金も変更するべきではないですか？唯一の島内観光で楽しみにしていただけにガッカリ。

Although the weather was bad with rain and winds at 10 m/s, the boat ride was smooth and there were no issues. I was able to closely observe the mangroves unique to the Yaeyama Islands from a well-equipped boat designed for rain protection. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island, a scene familiar from television, and it was enjoyable as a guest. On Yubu Island, the sight of the largest butterfly in Japan, the Papilio garamas, fluttering around was elegant and beautiful! The mangrove walking path is also well-maintained.

On Taketomi Island, I leisurely enjoyed my time exploring the Okinawan village by water buffalo cart and on foot. I returned to Ishigaki Island at 4:15 PM and took a photo with Yoshitaka Gushiken—what a thrill! The popular tour had a well-organized schedule, which was reassuring. It was unfortunate about the unpredictable weather. Lunch was somewhat disappointing compared to the delicious meal from the previous day. It would have been perfect if there had been more choices.

雨混じりで１０ｍ風速で悪天候であったが、ボートでの移動も揺れ少なく、
問題なかった。八重山諸島特有のマングローブも雨対策の完備したボートで
近くで観察できた。テレビでお馴染みの由布島への水牛車風景巡りであったが
お客主賓で楽しかった。由布島では日本で最も大きい蝶、オオゴマダラが飛び交う姿は、優雅で美しい！マングローブ遊歩道も整備されている。
竹富島では沖縄集落を水牛車と徒歩散策でゆったり時間を楽しんだ。
石垣島へ帰ったのが4時15分、具志堅用高と写真を撮り万歳！
人気のあるツアーで手慣れたスケジュールは安心できる。
天候不順は残念。昼食は前日美味しい食事だったので、やや不満足でした。
もっとチョイスが出来れば満点。

The weather wasn't very good, which was disappointing, but it was an easy tour. I would like to try going in the summer next time. I want to choose a plan with a bit more activities next time.

天気があまり良くなく残念なところもあったが手軽なツアーでした。次回は夏に行ってみたい。次回はもう少しアクティビティーの高いプランを選んでみたい

The glass-bottom boat experience at Kabira Bay was wonderful, with beautiful coral and fish. Above all, the blue of the ocean was stunning, and I wanted to keep looking at it forever. The bus guide was full of humor and even sang along with the sanshin, which made it enjoyable. I definitely want to visit Ishigaki Island again.

川平湾でのグラスボートで見た海の中は、綺麗な珊瑚と魚でとても素敵でした。
何より、海の青さがステキでずっと見ていたいと思いました。
バスガイドさんの説明がユーモアたっぷりで三線に合わせて歌まで披露してくださり楽しかったです。
また石垣島に行きたいと思いました。

Nothing was interesting. If I can only see things like coconut crabs in the summer, I would have liked to be informed in advance. Although it says in the photos and experiences that they can be seen, if they can only be seen in the summer, I want to be told. It felt like a waste of money.

何も面白くなかった。ヤシガニ等、夏しか見れないなら事前に教えてほしい。写真や体験談的には見れたとあるが、夏じゃないと見れないなら教えて欲しい。お金がもったいない感じだった。

I thought it would be a tough day since it was a tour of Mishima, but I was able to enjoy it leisurely! Even though it was just one day, it turned out to be a meaningful day with so much to see.

三島巡りだったのでハードだと思いましたがゆったりと満喫できました！一日でありますがこれだけ回れ有意義な日になりました。

The weather was great on the day of the trip, making it a wonderful journey. The shuttle service was shared with other groups, but the staff was efficient, and I had no complaints. The tour started and ended in Ishigaki Island, visiting Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it had a well-organized schedule that allowed us to fully enjoy the islands. If I had gone on my own, I wouldn't have been able to cover so much in one day. I look forward to using Veltra again for my next enjoyable trip.

当日は天気が良く素晴らしい旅になりました。
送迎はほかの団体客と同乗でしたが担当者さんはキビキビしていて別段不満はなかったです。
石垣島発着で西表島、由布島、竹富島を周遊するツアーでしたが、ツアーならではの無駄のないスケジュールで離島を満喫しました。
個人で行ったらこんなに効率的に回れず１日で周るのは無理でした。
また次回もベルトラを利用して楽しい旅をしたいと思います。

I'm glad I chose a bus tour for my first visit to Ishigaki Island. The food was delicious, and I was able to visit all the major sightseeing spots, so I was very satisfied.

初めての石垣島だったのでバスツアーで観光してよかったと思います。ご飯も美味しかったですし観光名所も一通り行けたので満足です。

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour around Mishima. I was picked up from the hotel in the morning and finished around 4 PM, after which I was taken back to the hotel. It was a great value tour since you can enjoy a full day. My day in Ishigaki was filled with a sense of fulfillment.

三島めぐりをしっかり楽しめました。朝からホテル迎えで、4時すぎに終了してホテルまで送ってもらいました。１日たっぷり楽しめるのでお得なツアーでした。石垣島の
１日は、充実感でいっぱいです

The weather in November on the Sakishima Islands is just perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. My elderly mother was able to enjoy it without any strain. The water buffalo are very cute and reliable. It was clear that the staff really cares for the water buffalo.

天候に恵まれての11月の先島は暑すぎず寒すぎずとてもいいですね。高齢の母も無理なく楽しめました。水牛　とても可愛くて頼もしいですねスタッフがとても水牛たちを大事にしていることが伺えました。

The beautiful sea of Taketomi Island was healing just to look at. The water buffalo were cute, and the guidance was great. It was all an incredibly wonderful memory. Thank you very much! I want to participate again!

竹富島の美しい海は見ているだけで癒されました。水牛がかわいかったし案内も良かったです。全てが最高に良い思い出です。ありがとうございました！また参加したいです！

Since I was traveling with my elderly father, I chose this course to minimize physical strain as much as possible.

The bus tour and the water buffalo cart course were both compact and very good.

The staff members' talks were also interesting and enjoyable.

I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

高齢の父親との旅行でしたので、なるべく身体に負担がかからないようにと思い、このコースを選びました。

バス観光も水牛車で巡るコースもコンパクトでとても良かったです。

担当のスタッフの方々のトークも面白くて楽しかったです。

また、機会があったら利用したいと思います。

On the last day, I had almost half a day to spare, so I chose a sightseeing bus tour. The first half of the trip was disappointing due to rain and cloudy skies, but in the second half, especially on this day, we were blessed with clear weather and were able to see the beautiful scenery of Kabira Bay, which I had longed to see.

As an option, I took a glass-bottom boat ride, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, which left me a bit regretful. One advantage is that the bus goes directly to the airport, which provides a sense of reassurance.

最終日は、ほぼ半日の時間の余裕だったので　観光バスツアーを選択しました。旅行日程の前半は、雨や雲空で　残念でしたが、後半　特にこの日は、晴天に恵まれて、念願の川平湾の美しい景色を　みることができました。
オプションで、グラスボートに乗りましたが、残念ながら　海亀に遭遇することは、できず　少々心残りでした。
バスが、空港迄直接行ってくれる点に　安心感があるのも　利点です。

On the last day of our sightseeing, I was worried about time during the activities, and since the weather had been cloudy with light rain on other days, I hadn't had the chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kabira Bay. That's why I decided to join this tour.

We were blessed with good weather and got to see the stunning Kabira Bay. However, according to our guide, the view from Tamatorizaki Observatory is even more spectacular, and it truly was a very beautiful sight.

I also enjoyed hearing interesting stories from our guide about the habu snakes of Ishigaki Island, which was great.

観光の最終日　アクティビティでは、時間的に不安があり、また、他の日が　曇天～小雨立った為　せっかくの川平湾の景色の美しさに出会えてなかったこともあり、このツアーに参加しました。
天気にも恵まれて、美しい川平湾に出会えました。
でも、ガイドさん曰く　
玉取崎展望台からの景色は、一段と素晴らしいものがある　と、
実際に　大変美しい景色でした。
ガイドさんの　石垣島のハブの話しなど　へぇ～
という面白いお話も聞けて　良かったですね。

I disembarked at Ishigaki Island from the cruise ship and switched to this tour by Ishigaki Island Dream Tourism, which was a great decision. It was a full course tour of Taketomi Island with multiple activities, and everything was well coordinated, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any unnecessary waiting time according to the schedule. The counter inside the remote island terminal was also kind and attentive. I want to enjoy this company's tour again next time!

クルーズ船で石垣島に上陸したが、船のエスカッションから石垣島ドリーム観光社のこのツアーに乗り換えたが、大正解だった。アクティヴィティが複数ある竹富島フルコースだったが、各所キチッと連携が取れていてSCHEDULE通り余分な待ち時間も無くツアーを楽しめた。離島ターミナル内のカウンターも親切丁寧です。次回もこの会社のツアーを楽しみたい！

I highly recommend participating in this when you visit Taketomi Island! Riding a water buffalo to tour the streets lined with red-tiled roofs and white sand, typical of Okinawa, is the best experience. The guide had a shamisen and sang for us, which was another great highlight! The tour lasts about 30 minutes, so I think you can spend the remaining time exploring the beach or cycling around the island!

竹富島に訪れたら1度は参加オススメします！赤瓦のいえ、白い砂が一面に広がる沖縄らしい街並みを水牛に乗って観光するのは最高です。
ガイドさんが三味線を持っており、歌ってくれました。それも加えてよかったポイントですね！
30分ほどでツアーは終わるので、余った時間は、砂浜や自転車で島観光してもいいと思います！

I was able to see a coconut crab up close for the first time. The weather was nice, and I was able to see many stars as well. The staff were friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour.

ヤシガニを初めて近くで見ることができました。天気もよく、たくさんの星も観ることができました。スタッフの方も親切で楽しいツアーでした。

I used this service before heading to the airport on my return home. It's a great tour that allows for sightseeing and drops you off at the airport. The guide played the sanshin and sang on the bus. It's a very good tour.

帰宅日、空港行く前に利用しました。
観光もできて空港で下車できていうことないツアーです。バスの中でガイドさんが三線を弾いて歌ってくれました。とてもよいツアーです。

I booked a round-trip ticket plus a water buffalo cart plan. It's more economical than purchasing them separately! After riding the water buffalo cart, there was free time, and the return time was just right.

往復乗車券＋水牛車のプランを申し込みました。別々に購入するよりお得です！
水牛車に乗った後は自由時間があり、帰りの時間もちょうど良かったです。

We participated as a family of four (two adults, a 3-year-old, and an 8-month-old). Due to weather conditions, we changed our schedule to one day earlier at the last minute, but they handled everything, including transportation to the hotel, very well.

It was our first time exploring the remote islands, and we truly enjoyed the mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, and the sightseeing spots on Taketomi Island while cycling.

Our 3-year-old especially loved the water buffalo on Yubu Island, enjoying the experience of holding the reins, feeding them, and touching them (for a fee of 500 yen). Additionally, even though it was a full day plan starting early in the morning, our 8-month-old managed just fine.

If given the opportunity, I would love to use this service with my family again.

家族4人（夫婦＋3歳＋0歳8ヶ月）で参加しました。
天候の関係で直前に1日前倒しの日程に変更してもらいましたが、ホテルまでの送迎も含めてしっかりと対応をいただきました。

はじめての離島巡りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛、竹富島のレンタサイクルでの観光スポット巡りなど本当に楽しめました。

特に3歳の子供は由布島での水牛が気に入ったらしく、水牛の手綱を引いたり、餌をあげたり、タッチをしたりするふれあい体験が楽しかったそうです。（有料500円）
また、朝早くからの1日がかりのプランでしたが、0歳8ヶ月の子供も問題なく乗り切れました
♩

機会があればまた家族で利用したいと思います。

I was grateful that they came to pick me up at the hotel. After driving for a while from the city, we took a dark road with no people. Once we passed through a narrow jungle path, we arrived at the local exploration site! We searched for wildlife along the rocky coastline. Unlike during the day, the tranquility and the sound of the waves were pleasant. Then, we discovered a coconut crab! Its purple shell was mysterious! After exploring the coast, we moved to a spot for stargazing. Although the moonlight was a bit bright, the sky was filled with stars welcoming us. Fortunately, we even saw a shooting star. I was able to spend a happy time.

ホテルまで迎えに来ていただけるので助かりました 市街地からしばらく走ると、人気のない真っ暗な道を行きます。ジャングルの細道を抜けると、現地探索場所に到着‼️ 海沿いの岩場で野生の生物を捜索。昼間とは違い、静寂の中、波音が心地よかった すると、ヤシガニを発見‼️ 紫色に光った殻が神秘的❗️海岸探索を後にして、星空探索の場所に移動。月明かりが少し明るかったけど、満天の星が出迎えてくれました。そこへ幸運にも、流れ星が。幸せな時間を過ごすことができました

I thoroughly enjoyed the night in Ishigaki Island. We set off at 8 PM and ran through the darkness, which felt mysterious. The atmosphere along the coastline at night was different from during the day, and we encountered a coconut crab and a hermit crab that can only be seen at night. After that, we went to an observatory with a great view, where the moonlight was a bit bright, but the starry sky was magnificent. My husband and daughter were thrilled to see shooting stars. Listening to the sound of owls, the night view was beautiful as well.

石垣島の夜を満喫しました
夜８時に出発し、真っ暗な中を走りミステリー
夜の海岸には昼間と違う雰囲気で、夜しか見られないやしがに、ヤドカリと出逢えました
その後見晴らしの良い天文台に行くとちょっと月明かりが明るめながら満天の星空
主人と娘は流れ星も見れ大感激
フクロウの鳴き声をききながら、夜景も綺麗でした

They provide transportation to the hotel! The guides kept the atmosphere lively in the car and gave various explanations during the tour, making it a lot of fun. I was able to see rare island hermit crabs, which was a wonderful experience!

ホテルまで送迎をしてくれます！車内でもガイドの方々が盛り上げてくださったり、ツアー中も様々な説明をしてくださるので、とても楽しかったです。レアな島のヤドカリを見ることができ、とても良い経験ななりました！

I thoroughly enjoyed places like the Chinese Grave, Kabira Bay, and the native palm forest without getting bored. At Kabira Bay, those who wished could ride a glass-bottom boat to see the coral reefs and beautiful fish. What impressed me the most was when our guide took out a sanshin and sang Okinawan folk songs during the scenic drive near the last dam. I was moved as he sang three songs.

唐人墓、川平湾、ヤシの木原生林など、飽きることなく楽しめました。
川平湾では希望者はグラスボートにのってサンゴ礁やきれいな魚をみれて楽しめました。
私が一番印象に残り良かったと思ったのは、ガイドさんが最後のダムの車窓観光あたりから三線を持ち、沖縄民謡を歌って下さったことです。３曲も歌って下さり感動しました。

I couldn't relax because of the heavy rain... The café I wanted to visit was also closed... I was really down about this. I want to try again on a sunny day. I did manage to find some star sand, though.

大雨でゆっくりできず、、、。
行きたかったカフェも定休日、、、。
流石にこれは落ち込みました。
またリベンジで晴天の日に行きたいです。
星の砂は発見できました。

You can fully enjoy the scenery of Taketomi. On the day we visited, fortunately, the weather was too good. It was really hot. We were grateful for the bus tour. However, there were also many people using rental bicycles. I felt it was too hot to manage that. Riding the water buffalo cart was a great experience. The young man's singing and guidance were also good.

竹富の風景を満喫できます。私達が行った日は、おかげ様で、良すぎる天気。だから、暑くて暑くて。バスでめぐっていただき、助かりました。でもレンタサイクルの方もたくさんいらっしゃいましたΣ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ私は、無理だと感じるほどの暑さ。水牛車に乗ったのも、良い経験
。お兄さんの歌、ガイドも良かったです

This time, I participated with my elementary school daughter. Since I'm a paper driver, I often use sightseeing buses. The guide was a woman. As other reviews mentioned, we were able to tour very efficiently, and since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, it was truly great. The Kabira Bay, which I had always seen in photos, was indeed beautiful. I think it's worth taking a ride on the glass-bottom boat. We also got to see trees that can only be found in the Yaeyama Islands. The guide kindly took photos for us, so it will be a memorable experience. The food was just average. I recommend this for those visiting Ishigaki for the first time.

今回は小学生の娘と二人で参加させてもらいました。ペーパードライバーなこともあって、観光バスはよく利用します。
ガイドさんは女性でした。
他の方の口コミの通り、とても効率よく回れて石垣島は初めてだったので、本当によかったです。
いつも写真で見ていた川平湾はやはり綺麗でした。グラスボートは乗った方がいいと思います。
八重山にしかない木も見れました。ガイドさんが快く写真を撮って下さったので、思い出に残ります。
料理はまあ、普通です。
石垣旅行が初めての方にはおすすめです。

With transportation included, you can easily visit three islands. This tour covers the highlights of each island and is ideal for those experiencing remote islands for the first time. When crossing to Yufu Island, sitting at the front may result in getting splashed, so if you're concerned about that, consider sitting towards the back.

送迎付きで、3島を手軽に回ることができます。それぞれの見どころを抑えており、離島初体験のツアーとしては最適といえます。由布島に渡るときは、先頭に座ると水がかかる可能性がありますので、気になる人は後方に座ることも考慮してください。

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy on the first day, so we started with the expectation of not seeing the stars. The guide also mentioned that it might not be good because of the clouds, but when we arrived at the stargazing point, we were able to see a magnificent starry sky spread out before us. I thought to myself, "This is what a perfect starry sky looks like." We were also able to see several shooting stars, which was moving. Additionally, we spotted owls, bats, coconut crabs, and hermit crabs, making the tour very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

あいにく1日雨が降ったりやんだりの天気だったので、星は諦めてのスタートでした。ガイドさんも雲が出てるからダメかなぁと言っていましたが、星空ポイントまで来るとなんと見事な星空が空一面に見る事が出来ました。満点の星空ってこーゆう事を言うんだなって思ったほどです。流れ星も何個も見る事ができ感動しました。他にフクロウやコウモリ、ヤシガニ、ヤドカリも見る事が出来とても楽しくツアーに参加することが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

This time, since it was a trip with my elderly parents, I wanted to minimize walking while still having a satisfying plan, and I found this course! The cruise was great, and the water buffalo cart and bus sightseeing were very good without unnecessary fatigue.

今回は高齢の両親との旅行だったので、なるべく歩かず、けれども満足行くプランでと思って探してヒットしたのがこのコースでした！
クルーズも良し、水牛車、バス観光と無駄に疲れることなく大変良かったです
