All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The guide's witty commentary helped me avoid car sickness, and I was truly impressed by their wealth of knowledge. Thank you very much!

ガイドさんの軽妙なガイドぶりに車酔いで無くて良い良いしれました、知識豊富には脱帽です、ありがとうございました。

If you have some free time, this two-island tour of Iriomote Island and Yufu Island is a great way to enjoy a relaxed island atmosphere. You can sway gently in a leisurely water buffalo cart, stroll through the botanical garden on Yufu Island, and enjoy a peaceful mangrove cruise. You can return to the hotel by 3 PM, which is nice for elderly couples, as it allows time to take a shower and rest a bit before dinner.

時間に余裕があれば、この西表島と由布島の２島ツアーはゆったりとした島時間を楽しむのにいいです。のんびりした水牛車に揺られて、由布島でぶらぶら植物園を散策し、そしてマングローブ遊覧はのどかです。ホテルに15時には戻れるので年寄り夫婦には、晩御飯前にシャワー浴びて、少し休憩できるのもいいです。

I was able to tour the streets of Taketomi Island while riding a water buffalo. The local guide was friendly and provided explanations about the town along the way, as well as performed a shamisen song. I recommend this experience for those who want to fully enjoy the atmosphere of Taketomi Island.

水牛に乗って竹富島の街並みを観光することができました。
現地のガイドさんも気さくな人で途中で街並みの解説や三味線の弾き語りをしてくれました。
竹富島の雰囲気を満喫したい人におすすめです。

I was moved to actually see and experience the scenery I had seen in books and encyclopedias as a child. I truly realized that you can't understand the air and scents unless you visit. The exploration of Taketomi Island, which I didn't know much about, was very impressive. Walking along the white sandy paths allowed me to immerse myself in nostalgia. Even though it had an exotic atmosphere, it gave me a strange feeling.

子供のころに本や図鑑で見た景色を実際に見て体験できたことに感動しました。
空気や匂いなど、足を運ばなければわかないとつくづく思います。
あまり、知らなかった竹富島の散策はとても印象的で、白い砂の路を歩くとノスタルジアに浸れます。異国情緒なのに不思議な気持ちになりました。

I came to Ishigaki Island for the second time in 30 years! The weather wasn't great, but I rode in an ox cart and felt rejuvenated! I was really moved by the quietly pulling oxen!

30年ぶりに2回目の石垣島に来ました！
天候は良くなかったですが、牛車に乗って、
癒されました！とても寡黙に引っ張る牛さんに感動しました！

The guide was polite and kind! They told us, "On days when the light is soft, you can take beautiful photos," and the timing for the shots was perfect. A cloudy day became something special!

ガイドさんが丁寧で優しかった！「光が柔らかい日は写真がきれいに撮れますよ」と教えてくれて、撮影タイミングも完璧。曇りの日が特別になった！

"The sky has a different expression with each season," was a striking phrase that made me feel the depth of nature. Even when it's cloudy, the attitude of looking up at the sky without giving up is wonderful and warmed my heart.

「この空、季節ごとに表情が違うんですよ」って言葉が印象的で、自然の奥深さを感じた。曇ってても諦めずに空を見上げる姿勢が素敵で、心が温まった。

Even under the cloudy sky, the atmosphere was enchanting. There were few stars, but the illuminated plants and the refreshing night air were impressive. The guide's explanations were thorough and enjoyable.

曇り空の中でも幻想的な雰囲気だった　星は少なかったけど、ライトアップされた植物や夜の空気の清涼感が印象的だった。ガイドさんの説明が丁寧で楽しかった。

It was my first time exploring the Blue Cave, and the guide was very kind and made me feel at ease while enjoying the experience. The water clarity was outstanding, and I was thrilled to swim with colorful fish while snorkeling!

初めての青の洞窟探検でしたが、ガイドさんが親切に案内してくれて安心して楽しめました。海の透明度が抜群で、シュノーケリングではカラフルな魚たちと泳げて感動しました！

I had a great time walking through the jungle and looking for various animals! It was quite difficult to find the coconut crab, but our guide, Hina, was able to spot one for us, so we got to meet the coconut crab as well. Thank you for the valuable experience! 😊

ジャングルの中を歩いていろいろな動物を探すことが楽しかったです！
なかなかヤシガニが見つからなかったのですがガイドのひなさんが見つけてくださったのでヤシガニにも出会うことが出来ました☺️
貴重な体験ありがとうございました！

Due to the impact of the typhoon, it was a day with on-and-off rain. I was able to enjoy my long-awaited visit to Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but it was disappointing that I couldn't go cycling on Taketomi Island because of the rain. I think it would be great if there were options to switch to bus tours or discounts at restaurants for rainy days, allowing for enjoyable plans even when it rains. The tours offered by Beltora are very appealing, and I always make use of them. I'm looking forward to future experiences!

台風の影響もあり　雨も降ったり止んだりの1日でした。念願の西表島　由布島は楽しめましたが、竹富島では雨でサイクリングもする事ができず残念でした。雨の場合はバスツアーに変更や飲食店の割引きなど、雨の日でも楽しめるプランへ変更できるコースがあるといいと思います。ベルトラさんのツアーはとても魅力的なツアーが多くいつも利用させて頂いてます。今後も楽しみにしています。

Although the weather wasn't very good, I was very satisfied that we were able to follow the planned itinerary without any issues. I also enjoyed the beauty of nature, and we were able to visit three islands in one day. The guides on the bus and the sightseeing boat were also very good.

お天気はあまり良くなかったものの、全て予定通りの行程をこなすことができて大満足でした。自然の素晴らしさも満喫できましたし、1日で3島も回ることができ、バスや遊覧船の方のガイドもとても良かったです。

Unfortunately, due to the thick clouds after the typhoon, we couldn't see the starry sky, but we were able to spot many wild creatures. Although I couldn't capture them in photos, I saw an eel, a purple crab, a striped snake, and a long-legged spider. There were some difficult spots where we had to climb, but it reminded me of my childhood and was a lot of fun.

あいにく台風後で雲が厚く星空は見れませんでしたが、たくさんの野生の生き物を写真には残せませんでしたが、オオウナギ、ムラサキガニ、シマヘビ、アシナガグモなどが見れました。途中、よじ登る感じの足場の悪い所がありましたが、子供の頃を思い出して楽しかったです。

I thought it would be canceled due to the typhoon, but I was super lucky that it was canceled the day before. I'm really glad it went ahead. The content was great, and I felt reassured!

台風の影響で中止になるかと思ってましたが､超ラッキーで前日は中止でしたが､
催行されて本当によかったです｡
内容も良くて安心しました!

It was the best adventure experience for both children and adults! We were able to see coconut crabs, and it was a great experience to fully feel the nature of Ishigaki. Even small children could participate safely. Thank you very much!

子どもたちにとっても、大人にとっても最高の冒険体験になりました！
ヤシガニを見ることができたし、石垣の自然を全身で感じることができてとても良い経験でした。
小さい子供でも安心して参加できました。ありがとうございました！

It was an irreplaceable experience. It was unfortunate that there was wind and rain due to the typhoon, but I enjoyed a very delicious lunch with Ishigaki cuisine. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart, and listening to the sanshin performance was a soothing time. I recommend this tour for anyone going to Ishigaki Island.

かけがえの無い経験になりました。
台風で風、雨が降ったのは残念でしたが、昼食は石垣料理でとても美味しく頂きました。
水牛車は初めてでしたが、三線の弾語りも聞けて癒しの時間でした。
石垣島に行く方にはオススメのツアーです。

Había tenido experiencias con otras empresas de la zona en las que te llevan a hacer Snorkel con un barco a zonas muy bonitas. En este caso, la actividad se realizó en una playa de la ciudad en la que no había demasiado que ver en cuanto a veces, y los corales tampoco eran demasiado bonitos. En cuanto a la parte del kayak fue un paseo agradable con nuestro instructor Hiro, pero igualmente, eché en falta más información sobre la fauna de la zona, y el poder, haber avisado más especies.

The mangrove cruise passed by in no time, making me forget the passage of time. The water buffalo worked hard to pull the cart to Yubu Island, and they were very clever and diligent. The island was full of plants and connected to the beach, allowing us to have a fun time.

I was disappointed with the buffet for lunch, but the oil soba I tried without expectations was incredibly delicious—was it the magic of shikwasa?

The only downside was the rental bicycles on Taketomi Island; while I could tolerate the worn and rusty ones, the handlebars were crooked, making it very difficult to ride after not cycling for a while.

According to reviews, the fresh mango smoothie at Chirorin Village is the best! I also wanted to try the fresh pineapple smoothie...

マングローブクルーズは時間の経つのも忘れるくらいあっという間に過ぎました。
由布島までは水牛さん達一生懸命に車をひいてくれてとても賢く働き者でした。島内は植物もたくさんあり、ビーチにつながっていて楽しく時間を過ごせました。
昼はビュッフェでがっかりでした、でも期待せずに食べた油そばがすごく美味しかったのはシークヮーサーの魔法？
竹富島でのレンタルサイクルだけが残念、ボロボロでサビてるのは我慢出来るけどハンドルが斜めで久しぶりに自転車乗ったが運転がとてもしにくかったです。
口コミをみてちろりん村での生マンゴースムージーは最高‼︎生パイナップルスムージーも飲んでみたかった…。

I was able to visit many tourist spots in one day. Unfortunately, there were some disappointing parts due to the rain, but I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice.

多くの観光地を1日で巡ることができました。あいにくの雨で残念な部分もありましたが、雰囲気は十分に味わえました。天気がよければ最高だったと思います。

I originally wanted to see the starry sky and was looking for a tour. However, I was drawn in by the "photo of the coconut crab" and signed up for the night tour of the sea and jungle. I was very satisfied with the guide's attentive service, the enjoyable stories, and the chance to see the coconut crab, as well as witnessing the emergence of cicadas. Although I couldn't see the starry sky due to cloudy weather, I was able to enjoy the night tour instead. I highly recommend it.

元々は星空を見たくて、ツアーを探していました。でも「ヤシガニの写真」と夜の海・ジャングルに惹かれて申し込みをしました。ガイドさんのきめ細やかな対応と楽しいお話とヤシガニに会えた事、蝉の羽化にもで会えた事などなど大満足でした。星空は曇り空で見えませんでしたが、その分ナイトツアーを楽しむができました。お勧めです。

Overall, arranging everything by yourself can be a hassle, but with the bus, ox cart, and boat, everything is taken care of in one go. It allows for efficient travel, includes pick-up and drop-off services, and offers free time, making it highly recommended for first-time visitors.

The boat may lack the luxury compared to other companies, but since you won't be on it for hours, it's not a problem.

One thing to note: the bicycles available for rent are quite worn out. It was mentioned that there would be English guidance, but there was none at all. I applied for the bicycle rental option, and while it clearly stated that those who cannot speak Japanese are not allowed, I inquired whether it would be fine if someone who speaks Japanese accompanied me, and it was indeed fine. It would be better if this information were accurately stated.

とにかく自分で手配したら面倒なのですが、バス、牛車、船、と全て一発です。
効率良く回れ、送迎もあり、自由時間もあり、で、初めて行く方はお勧めします。
船は他社に比べると豪華さに欠けますが、何時間も乗るわけでないので問題なし。

気になった事。
自転車レンタルオプションの自転車はかなりボロいです。
英語ガイダンスあり、と書いてありましたが、全く案内ありませんでした。
自転車レンタルオプションを申し込みましたが、明らかに、日本語できない人は不可、とありますが、日本語が話せる者が同行したら問題ないか問い合わせて、問題ありませんでした。
記載だけなので、正確に記載されていたらもっと良いと思います。

You can efficiently visit all the points you want. The guide was attentive and wonderful, and I enjoyed listening to songs played on the sanshin. The driver also drove safely, making it a fantastic time.

行きたいポイントを効率よく回ってもらえます。
ガイドさん付きでガイドさんのお話が丁寧で素晴らしく三線での歌も聞かせてもらえて楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも安全運転で最高な時間でした。

This was my third time visiting Ishigaki Island, but it was the first time for my wife, my daughter and her husband, and my two grandchildren. Our accommodation was all-inclusive, so we were having a great time without needing to go out. However, I thought it would be a shame not to do any sightseeing while we were in Ishigaki, so I made a reservation for a half-day private sightseeing taxi from Veltra without consulting my family. On the day of the tour, I discussed with the driver and requested to visit the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay and try the gelato at Mirumiru. I left everything else to the driver, and we just followed along. At the glass-bottom boat, my grandchildren and daughter were thrilled to see tropical fish and sea turtles. At Mirumiru, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed gelato and shaved ice outside, which made us very happy! The driver's sightseeing commentary along the way was enjoyable, and we truly appreciated his help. Even though it was time to go, he took us to the observation deck, so thank you very much. I plan to visit Ishigaki again in December and intend to book the same tour. Thank you in advance!

自分は石垣島は3回目でしたが、女房・娘夫婦、孫2人は初めての石垣島でした。宿はオールインクルーシブなので、外に出なくても十分楽んでいました。しかしせっかく石垣島に来て一つも観光しないなんてと思い、自分が家族とは相談せずに、勝手にベルトラの半日貸し切り観光タクシーを予約しました。その日に運転手さんと相談し、川平湾のグラスボート、ミルミルのジェラードの観光をお願いしました。あとは運転手さんに全てお任せで、我々はその通りに
動いただけです。しかしグラスボートでは孫や娘たちは熱帯魚・ウミガメを見て大騒ぎ。ミルミルでは天気にも恵まれ、外でジェラード・かき氷を食べて大満足！それらの行く途中にも運転手さんの観光案内が楽しくて本当に世話になりました。時間になったにもかかわらず、見晴らし台にも連れて行って貰えて、ありがとうございました。12月にもまた石垣に行く予定です。同じツアーを予約するつもりです。宜しくお願いします。

The tour included visits to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and it was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the bus driver's stories based on his real experiences on Iriomote Island; they were interesting and entertaining. I think he might have exaggerated a bit, but I was impressed by his calm way of speaking and how he wrapped up his stories with a punchline. I thought this was really insightful and listened intently. As for the ferry returning from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island, the boarding area was hard to find. There were no announcements at the waiting area, so we almost missed the boat. I wonder if there were others who missed it too.

西表島も由布島も竹富島にも行くツアーでしたが、とても楽しかったです。とくに西表島のバスの運転手さんの実体験に伴うトークが、面白くて楽しかったです。多少、盛ってるとこ有ると思いますが穏やかな話し方と、ちゃんとオチのある締め方で感心しました。コレって参考になるなぁ～と思って聴きいりました。竹富島から石垣島に帰るフェリーですが、乗り場が分かりにくかったです。待合所では、何のアナウンスも無かったので乗船がギリギリになってしまいました。中には乗り遅れた人もいたのでは？と思います。

A trip with my fifth-grade son.
My son usually complains about going anywhere, but he had no complaints during the night tour and seemed to enjoy seeing various creatures.
The guide was also very kind, which made it a great experience. Thank you very much.

小5の次男との旅行。
どこに行くにも文句ばかりの次男ですが、ナイトツアーは文句もなく、色々な生き物も見られて楽しかったようです。
ガイドさんもとても親切でとても良かったです。ありがとうございました。

With the wonderful guidance of the bus guide, I had a very fulfilling sightseeing experience. I was a bit anxious about renting a car alone in an unfamiliar place. I was able to visit almost all the places I wanted, and the itinerary had a decent amount of flexibility, which was great.

バスガイドさんのとても素晴らしいガイド付きで、大変充実した観光ができました。知らない土地で1人レンタカーはちょっと不安で。行きたいところはほぼ行けたし、行程もそこそこ余裕があって良かったです。

The staff is very kind and has a good smile. But due to the bad weather, we didn't have the chance to take the glass boat; it's a little bit of a pity about that.

The Mangrove Kayak Tour was a fun and enjoyable activity, set in a beautiful mangrove environment. The duration was just right—not too long or tiring. Unfortunately, the Blue Cave part was changed to a beach snorkeling spot due to weather conditions, but that area turned out to have a rich marine ecosystem. We were lucky to see two sea turtles and beautiful fish —it was an amazing experience overall. Our tour guide, sorry I forgot her name. is incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and full of energy.

Phanton Island really lives up to its name — it’s so unreal in its beauty. Snorkeling was fun, though the area we went to that day was just okay — we mainly saw corals, with not many fish or sea turtles around. Still, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience overall.

I spent a relaxing time riding a water buffalo cart. Each buffalo has its own personality, and even in just a short time, you can grow fond of them. The mangrove scenery completely made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a luxurious moment wrapped in the tranquility of nature.

水牛車に乗って、ゆったりとした時間を過ごしました。牛にはそれぞれ個性があって、ほんの少しの時間でも愛着がわいてしまいます。マングローブの景色は、都会の喧騒をすっかり忘れさせてくれ、自然の静けさに包まれる贅沢なひとときでした。
