All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

This was a recommended tour for my first trip to the Yaeyama Islands. I was glad to be able to visit three islands in one day.

The ferry to the remote islands is worth the extra 500 yen for the premium seat, and I highly recommend it.

I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, and that was a great choice as well.

初めての八重山諸島の旅にはおすすめなツアーでした。
一日で3島を巡る事ができてよかったです。

離島への船は、プレミアムシートをプラス500円払ってでも価値がありおすすめです。

竹富島ではレンタルサイクルをしましたが、それも正解でした。

It was a windy day, but I was able to ride with the elderly sea grandfather. I also spent time with Ichiro and Rui. I felt that each of them had their own personality and acted differently. It was a very good experience.

風の強い日でしたが、お年寄りの海おじいさんに乗せてもらいました。その他に一郎君やルイ君など。それぞれに個性があり、行動も異なることを感じました。とても良い体験をしました。

I had a great experience exploring all the wonderful spots in Bannai Park. I even got to see a crowned eagle!

バンナ公園の素敵なところをくまなく回っていただいてとても良い経験ができました。
カンムリワシにも会えました

The tour was well-organized and very enjoyable. I had some concerns about participating in the tour as a pregnant woman in her stable period, but I was able to relax and fully enjoy it. The highlight for me was riding the water buffalo cart, which I had always dreamed of doing.

ツアーに無駄がなく、とても楽しめました。
安定期の妊婦でのツアー参加に少し不安はありましたが、のんびりと満喫できました。
憧れの水牛車に乗れたのが1番嬉しかったです。

I joined this tour because I wanted to ride a water buffalo cart. It's efficient since you can visit three islands in one day. There was enough time on Iriomote Island and Yufu Island, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't much time on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo cart ride I was looking forward to was very pleasant.

水牛車に乗りたくて参加しました。
1日で3島まわれるので効率が良いです。
西表島と由布島には時間的ゆとりがありましたが、竹富島はあまり余裕がなかったのだけが残念です。
楽しみにしていた水牛車はとても気持ちが良かったです。

I was able to efficiently visit the sights during my morning tour of Ishigaki Island, and the guide's explanations were enjoyable, making for a great time. It was also nice to be able to make a stop at the airport along the way.

午前の石垣島観光で、効率よく名所を回ることができ、ガイドの解説も楽しく良い時間を過ごせました。また空港で途中下車できたのも良かったです。

I felt the spirit of Okinawa that connects to the present, knowing that the crossing by water buffalo cart began with a man who defied the administration.

水牛車での渡りが、行政に刃向かった一人の爺さんから始まったことを知って、今に通じる沖縄の魂を感じた。

I was able to efficiently explore the islands on my first trip to Ishigaki Island. It was great to stop at Taketomi Island and travel the way we wanted.

初めての石垣島旅行で離島巡りを効率的にできました。竹富島で途中下船して自分たちのやりたい様に旅ができて良かったです。

I didn't know anything about Ishigaki, but the person was very kind and taught me a lot. They were also an excellent driver, and I had a lot of fun. I wondered if it was tough for them to drive for such a long time, but they patiently accompanied me, and I truly felt that coming to Ishigaki was a great decision.

石垣については全く知らなかったのですが、とても親切な方で色々なことを教えていただき、運転も非常に上手でとても楽しかったです
長時間のプランを申し込んで運転も大変だったかなとか思ったりもしたのですが、粘り強く付き合っていただき、石垣に本当に来てよかったと思えました

I participated with my three-year-old grandchildren.
We had a lot of fun with the mangrove boat, glass-bottom boat, and water buffalo cart.

3歳の孫たちと参加しました
マングローブの船
グラスボート
水牛車
と盛りだくさんで、とても楽しかったです

I highly recommend experiencing it at least once! Not only is it quite fun, but the spontaneous interactions with the locals create wonderful shared moments... I believe everyone has their own unique way of enjoying it.

一度は是非体験してみては如何でしょう⁈
結構楽しいだけでなく
島の方々とのふとした交流がまた素敵な時間を共有できて…
皆さんの楽しみ方は無限だと思います

I was able to efficiently explore Mishima. I recommend it for first-time visitors or those with limited time. The guides on Iriomote Island were also very skilled and provided great assistance.

効率よく三島巡りができました。初めて訪問する場合や時間が無い場合におすすめします。西表島のガイドの方々の案内もとても上手でよかったです。

Thank you for discovering the nature of Iriomote (Amur Falcon), the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and the wonderful cycling tour of Taketomi Island. Next year, I will walk around Taketomi Island all day.

西表の自然（アンムリワシ）発見、由布島への水牛車ありがとう、そして竹富島を自転車で観光素晴らし。来年は、一日中竹富島を歩いて廻ります。

The bus driver, who was also the guide for the mangrove tour, was driving alone, and I could feel their effort. I think it was good because I was able to hear some enjoyable stories.

バスの運転手、マングローブの運転手が一人で運転しながらガイドをしていたので頑張りが伝わって来た。楽しい話も聞けたので良いと思う。

Among the many remote islands, I was able to enjoy a compact and well-planned sightseeing experience. It was my first visit to Ishigaki Island, and I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the nature and scenery of the Yaeyama Islands, as well as the unique charm of each island. I absolutely recommend it.

On the ferry to Iriomote Island, I paid 500 yen for a premium seat, and the view from next to the captain's seat was amazing. I was moved to be able to take commemorative photos.

The mangrove forest made me truly feel like I was in a tropical paradise, and the water buffalo on Yubu Island were incredibly cute. The relaxed atmosphere and the songs played on the sanshin added to the ambiance.

On the glass-bottom boat in Taketomi, I was able to see many fish, including the clownfish. Everything was just fantastic.

離島がいくつもある中で、計画的にコンパクトに観光ができました。初めて訪れた石垣島でしたが、八重山の自然と景色の美しさ、それぞれの島の良さを堪能することができました。絶対オススメです。西表島に渡る船では500円出してプレミアムシートにしましたが、船長席の脇から眺める景色は最高でした。記念撮影をさせていただき感動でした。
マングローブの林は南国に来た実感が湧き、由布島に渡る水牛もとても可愛いらしかったです。のんびりとした時間が流れ三線での歌も雰囲気を盛り上げてくださいました。
竹富のグラスボートではカクレクマノミ始め沢山の魚を見ることができました。とにかく全て最高でした。

The shuttle service to the hotel allowed us to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island all in one day.

I don't think I could have planned such an efficient trip on my own.

The water buffalo on Yubu Island really gave me a sense of being in a foreign land, and it was a lot of fun.

Renting a bicycle on Taketomi Island was definitely the right choice! Although our stay was a bit short and we couldn't stop by any shops, I was very satisfied with visiting the beaches I wanted to see, including the Star Sand Beach!

ホテルまでの送迎もあり1日で西表島～由布島～竹富島と３島を効率よく回れました

自分でプラン立ててたらなかなかここまで効率よく回れないと思いました

由布島の水牛がとても異国を感じさせてくれて楽しかったです

竹富島は自転車借りて正解！少し滞在時間が短かったのでお店などには寄れなかったけど行きたかった海岸や星の砂のビーチを巡れて大満足です！

There was a lot of moving around, and I felt that the time spent at each sightseeing spot was a bit lacking. It might be good for those who want to efficiently visit many places in one day.

移動が多く、それぞれの観光時間が少し物足りなく感じました。効率よく一日でたくさん回りたい方にはいいかもしれません。

It was raining, and the boat to Iriomote Island was rocking quite a bit, but when I boarded the mangrove cruise ship, the rain lightened up and it was great to open the windows for viewing. The boat got close to the sights, and the guide was very clear and informative, which was wonderful. The water buffalo on Yubu Island were also interesting, and the guide's stories were entertaining, but it seemed that from the very back seat, the voice didn't reach very well, so I recommend sitting at the front!

雨が降っており、西表に行く船はよくゆれたがマングローブのクルーズ船に乗った時は、小雨になり窓を開けての見学はとても良かったです。近くまで船が寄ってくれ、ガイドの方も分かりやすくとてもよかったです。
由布島の水牛も、ガイドさんの話が面白くてよかったが、一番うしろの席だと声はあまり届かなかったようなので、一番前がお勧めですね♪

I was able to efficiently visit three remote islands.
(I think it would have been difficult for an individual on their first time.)
This is a recommended tour for first-timers.

離島３島をとても効率よくまわることができました。
（初めてで個人ならば難しかったと思います。）
初めての方におすすめのツアーです。

I was grateful for the shuttle service from the hotel. Although there was no tour guide, I had no trouble and was able to enjoy sightseeing smoothly. It was nice that I could use the bus to visit the village and Kaiji Beach during my free time on Taketomi Island.

ホテルから送迎があるのが有り難かったです。
添乗員は居ないけど困ることはなくスムーズに観光出来ました。
竹富島はフリータイムでしたがバス利用で集落やカイジ浜に行けたので良かったです。

The bus driver's storytelling was excellent.
The stories were so engaging that the atmosphere in the bus was lively.

This was my first time visiting, and although it was a whirlwind one-day tour,
everyone was very satisfied, especially since it was my mother's wish to go.

I have created more memories with my mother on this trip. ♡

バスの運転手さんのお話が上手。
〇み〇ろ並みのお話で、車内盛り上がりました。

今回、初の上陸、駆け足での1日のツアーではありましたが、
「行きたい」と言ってくれた母の立っての場所という事もあり、
同行者全員大満足でした。

母との旅の思い出がまた増えました♡

There is a walking course in Yufushima, and I was truly able to enjoy nature surrounded by tropical trees! The lunch was also delicious Okinawan cuisine.

由布島の中は散策できるコースがあり、まさに南国の木々に囲まれた自然を満喫できました！昼食も沖縄料理で美味しかったです。

I was able to efficiently explore each island in a short amount of time while truly experiencing their charm. I would like to request this again.

短時間で効率良く回りながら、それぞれの島の魅力もちゃんと感じることができました。またお願いしたいです。

I was able to relax on Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island in just one day. The colors of the sea and sky were wonderful, so I've decided to go again in June. Next time, I want to experience the sunset and stargazing.

1日で西表島と竹島をゆったりできました、海や空の色が素晴らしく6月に再度いくことにしました。
次回はサンセットや星空観察など体験したいと思います。

I was very satisfied that all the places I wanted to visit were included. It was a plan that would have been impossible to organize on my own; truly a professional from the area.

行って見たかった場所がすべてそろっていて大満足でした。個人で計画は無理なプランさすが現地のプロです。

You can efficiently explore Mishima in one day, and there are plenty of highlights to see. I recommend it for those visiting Yaeyama for the first time.

The boat from Ishigaki to Iriomote can be quite rocky for a while after departure, so be cautious. Now, it feels more like a roller coaster ride, which is amusing.

Yufu Island feels like a paradise of tropical plants and butterflies. The lunch was also delicious.

If I come to Taketomi Island again, I think I will rent a bicycle.

１日で三島を効率よく回ることができ、しかも見どころ沢山。初めて八重山に行く方にオススメです。
石垣から西表に向かう船は、出発からしばらく凄く揺れるのでご注意。今となっては、ジェットコースター感覚でご愛敬という感じ。
由布島は熱帯植物と蝶々の楽園という感じ。お昼ご飯もおいしかった。
竹富島は、今度来ることがあればレンタサイクルを借りようと思う。

I participated in this trip because I wanted to see the islands of the Yaeyama Islands during my first visit to Ishigaki Island.

It was great to efficiently tour Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island in one day.

The lunch on Yufu Island was delicious, featuring a variety of Okinawan dishes. It was also fun to leisurely cross while listening to the sanshin and songs on the water buffalo cart.

On Taketomi Island, I chose the free walk plan, but I took a shuttle from the port to the village to tour the area by water buffalo cart, which was relaxing. After that, we went to see the ocean, so I missed the 4 PM boat and took the 5 PM boat instead. I was able to enjoy a lot of sightseeing, which was very nice.

初めての石垣島旅行で、八重山諸島の島を見てみたくて参加しました。

西表島、由布島、竹富島を効率よく1日で観光出来て良かったです。

由布島でのランチも沖縄のお料理盛りだくさんで美味しかったです。
水牛車で、三線と歌を聴きながらのんびり渡るのも面白かったです。

竹富島ではフリーウォークプランを選びましたが、港で集落を水牛車で周る観光の送迎車で集落へ行き、ゆっくり水牛車で周りました。
その後、海も見に行ったので、16時の船には間に合わず17時の船に乗りました。
たっぷり観光出来てとても良かったです。

It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I didn't use a rental car. I'm glad I made the reservation early. On the day of the trip, the bus was nearly full. Since boarding is on a first-come, first-served basis, arriving early allows you to choose your seats on the bus.

The bus guide was very skilled in both guidance and singing, making the time pass quickly. The lunch was delicious with a variety of side dishes.

At Kabira Bay, you can ride a glass-bottom boat as an option, and it was nice that the tour participants got a discount.

With sightseeing stops and lunch included, I thought this price was quite reasonable.

初めての石垣島でレンタカーを利用しない旅行でした。
早目に予約して良かったです。
当日は満席に近い状況でした。
先着順にバスに乗り込むので集合も早めの方がバスの席を選べます。

バスガイドさんの案内や歌がとても上手で、時間のたつのも早かったです。
ランチもいろいろなおかずで美味しかったです。

川平湾ではオプションでグラスボートに乗れますが、ツアー参加者は少し安くなって良かったです。

下車観光もランチもあって、この価格は安いとおもいました。

This is an efficient tour for first-timers. I understand that it's important to manage a lot of tourists smoothly, but it was a bit disappointing to hear comments like "Everyone is waiting!" or "Please take photos later!" in a somewhat harsh tone when some people were a little slow. On the day of the tour, the weather was bad; we managed to avoid the rain, but the strong winds made the waves high, and the high-speed boat was quite shaky. I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit unwell. I think it's safer for those who get seasick to bring their own medication. I don't think it's possible to visit all three islands in one day on your own, so I believe this is a good tour. The bus driver and the mangrove guide were easy to understand and shared enjoyable stories.

初めての方には効率よく回れるツアーです
たくさんの観光客の方をスムーズに回す為なのはわかりますが、少し遅い方がおられると「みんな待ってますよ！」とか「写真は後にしてください！」など若干キツイ口調なのが残念だした　当日は天候が悪くなんとか雨は逃れたものの強風で波も高く高速船がかなり揺れて酔い止めを飲んでましたが少し気分が悪くなりました　船酔いされる方は薬を持って行かれた方が安心かと思います
個人では3島を1日で回れないと思うので良いツアーだと思います　バスの運転手さん、マングローブのガイドさんはわかりやすく楽しいお話でした

I used this service because I could do some sightseeing on the last day of my trip while heading to New Ishigaki Airport. The friendly guide provided explanations during the tour, and it was even better when they played the sanshin and sang folk songs at the end. ♡ After the glass boat (for those who wanted to participate), we had lunch right away, which was tough for me since I got seasick. I wish there had been more options for the meal. We arrived at the airport on time.

旅行最終日に観光しながら新石垣空港まで行けるので利用されてもらいました。
フレンドリーなガイドさんの説明付きで観光巡り。最後は三線を弾きながら民謡を歌ってくれたのがさらに良かったです♡
グラスボート(希望者)の後すぐ昼食なので船酔いした自分にはキツかったです。料理の選択肢があれば良かったのにと思いました。
空港には時間通り到着しました。
