All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

It was a satisfying plan that allowed us to efficiently visit three islands in one day, including lunch. We rented bicycles on Taketomi Island, which provided exercise and made for a fulfilling day.

一日で効率よく3島めぐれて
ランチ付で　十分満足なプランでした。
竹富島でレンタサイクルを借りて
運動にもなり盛りだくさんな1日でした。

The bus guide helped us understand the local area of the island well. The island tour was also enjoyable. For lunch, we had a hamburger lunch.

バスガイドさんが島の方で地元がよく理解出来ました。
島観光も楽しかった。
昼食はハンバーグランチでした。

Although it was a short time of three hours, we were able to visit many places. The topics were diverse, and I enjoyed the conversations in the taxi. I would like to use this service again when I go to Ishigaki Island.

3時間と短い時間でしたがたくさん回っていただきました。話題も豊富でタクシー内での会話も楽しめました。また石垣島に行く際には利用したいと思います。

Thank you for your assistance.
In the morning, we departed from the remote island terminal, enjoyed a mangrove tour, and traveled by bus, making for a timely and fulfilling trip.
When crossing to Yufu Island by water buffalo, there was an announcement and they sang island songs, but I’m sorry, I thought they could use more practice.
The lady on the mangrove cruise was skilled.
Thank you very much.

お世話になりました。
朝、離島ターミナルからの出発、マングローブ観光、バス移動と、タイムリーな充実した旅になりました。
水牛で由布島に渡る時、アナウンスや、島唄を歌ってくれるのですが、すみません。もっと練習した方が良いと思いました。
マングローブクルーズのお姉さんは、上手でした。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to participate again this year, just like last year. Last year's water buffalo carts had Musashi and Kojiro, but this year it was Sota and Mirai, and since I follow them on Instagram, it was fun to see their individual personalities. The round-trip bus had a driver who provided commentary; last year it was entertaining, but this year it felt more negative, and I wanted to hear more about Iriomote Island. The bento from Yufu Island was delicious, and overall, I was very satisfied.

昨年に続き今年も参加できました。
昨年の水牛車は武蔵くんと小次郎くんでしたが、今年は颯太くんと未来くんでインスタもフォローしているので、それぞれ個性があって楽しかったです。
往復のバス、運転手さんが案内をしてくれるのですが昨年は面白かったけど今年はネガティブな感じでもっと西表島のことを聞きたかったです。
由布島のお弁当も美味しいし全体的にとても満足です。

The weather was favorable, and the meticulous planning for the bus transfer on Iriomote Island was wonderful. On Taketomi Island, I walked over 10,000 steps. You definitely need comfortable shoes.
Google Maps didn't work.

天候にも恵まれ、西表島でのバス中継が必要で、綿密な計画が素晴らしかった。竹富島は、なんと１万歩以上歩きました。必ず、運動靴が必要です。
gogle mapが機能しませんでした。汗　　

It can be challenging to sightsee with your luggage after checkout, but I decided to use a sightseeing taxi because you can keep your bags on board and enjoy sightseeing hands-free. They not only accommodated my requests but also efficiently guided me to recommended spots, allowing me to visit many attractions in just four hours. Since I could leave the time management to them, I was able to enjoy sightseeing without worrying about my flight schedule. This time, I was attended by a female driver, Ms. S, who was full of interesting topics, making the sightseeing experience enjoyable. It's unique to sightseeing taxis to gain information that isn't found in guidebooks!

チェックアウト後に荷物を持って観光するのは大変ですが、観光タクシーなら荷物を乗せたまま、手ぶらで観光できると思い利用しました。
こちらの要望にプラスしてオススメスポットも効率的に案内していただけ、4時間でたくさんの観光地に行くことが出来ました。
時間配分もお任せ出来るので、飛行機の時間を気にせず観光を楽しめました。
今回は女性ドライバーのＳさんに担当していただきましたが、話題も豊富で一緒に観光するのが楽しかったです。ガイドブックに載っていない情報が得られるのも観光タクシーならではですね！

We took a hotel shuttle to Euglena Port and then a high-speed ferry to Iriomote Island in 45 minutes. The mangrove cruise was blessed with good weather, allowing us to enjoy the magnificent natural scenery while listening to explanations about the mangroves and interesting stories as we observed them up close. We even had a welcoming sighting of a crested serpent eagle! After traveling by bus, we went to Yubu Island, where the water buffalo cart ride was a timeless experience, and the flowers on Yubu Island were very beautiful. We then took a bus to Taketomi Island, where we rented bicycles to explore the town and see the traditional Ryukyu architectural style. At the Nishi Sanchō, during low tide, we were able to see many tropical fish, giant clams, and sea cucumbers. It was a fulfilling and great value tour.

ホテル送迎でユーグレナ港へ、高速双頭船で45分で西表島へ。マングローブクルーズは、天気にも恵まれ、雄大な大自然の風景を鑑賞しながら、マングローブの説明を聞き、面白いお話を聞きながらマングローブをまじかに観察いたしました。なんと、カンムリワシの歓迎も！バスで移動して、由布島へ水牛車は時間を忘れるひと時、由布島は花がとても綺麗でした。バスで移動して高速船で竹富島へ、レンタサイクルで街中を徘徊し古き琉球の建築様式等を見れ、西桟橋では、干潮の時間で熱帯魚やシャコガイ、ナマコと沢山見れました。
充実のお値打ちツアーです。

It's early in the morning, but the highlights of the famous island were well organized. However, the sightseeing time on Takefumi Island was short due to the ferry schedule.

朝早いですが、有名な島の見所がまとまっていました
ただ、竹冨島の観光時間がフェリーの都合で短かったです

The hotel shuttle service was very kind and helpful. The bus tour of Taketomi Island was a bit rushed, but I think it's a great tour that covers the highlights for first-time visitors.

ホテルの送迎も含めてとても親切にしてもらえました。
竹富島のバス観光は少し慌ただしかったですが、初めて訪れる人にはいいとこ取りのいいツアーだと思います。

We participated in a tour with our three-generation family, including members in their 70s, 40s, and 20s.

We really enjoyed the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo cart ride, as there were plenty of explanations provided, making it a great experience for us first-time visitors.

The itinerary was packed with activities we wanted to experience, and we were satisfied with the price.

We visited in February when the temperature was around 20°C and it was cloudy, so the mangrove cruise felt chilly without a jacket due to the wind.

Having lunch included and being able to return to Ishigaki Island by 2:30 PM was convenient and appreciated.

70代、40代、20代の3世代家族旅行でツアーに参加しました。

マングローブクルーズでも水牛車でもたくさん解説が聞けるので、初めて訪れるわたしたちはとても楽しめました。

体験したい内容がぎゅっとつまっていて、お値段的にも満足です。

訪れたのが2月で気温20℃くもりのお天気で、マングローブクルーズは風を受けるので上着がないと寒く感じました。

昼食付きなのも、14時半に石垣島に戻ってこれるのも楽でよかったです。

This was my first time visiting Ishigaki Island, and I traveled alone. Since I didn't have much time, I chose a sightseeing bus to efficiently tour the island's attractions. I had done some research on the places we would visit, but I think you can enjoy it fully without any preparation since the guide provides information.

For an additional 1,000 yen, there was also time to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and the lunch set allowed me to experience the flavors of Ishigaki Island, which was delicious. I was able to learn about the highlights and history, so I feel it was the best choice for my first visit. (It was cloudy, so if it had been sunny, I would have rated it even higher... I apologize for that since it's something beyond the company's control.) By the way, the tour ended just after 2 PM, allowing me to catch the 3 PM ferry to Taketomi Island.

初めての石垣島観光、一人旅でした。
時間もあまりなかったこともあり、効率的に石垣島の名所を巡れるように定期観光バスを選択しました。
事前にどこをまわるかもわかっているので、それなりに下調べもしましたが、ガイドさんが案内してくれるので、何も準備しなくても十分に楽しめると思います。
１０００円のオプションになりますが、川平湾のグラスボートに乗る時間もあり、石垣島の味力を感じる昼食もセットなのもおいしいですね。
見どころや歴史なども学ぶことができるので、初めての訪問にはベストな選択だったと感じています。（くもりの天気だったので、もし晴れていたら最高評価です・・会社の力で変えられない”てん”なので申し訳ありませんが）
ちなみに２時すぎに終了するので、３時の船で竹富島にも渡ることができました。

The water buffalo tour was great, and I really enjoyed the slow pace of Taketomi. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also excellent and fun, so next time I want to rent a bicycle and explore the island's surroundings and see the star sand on the beach. The townscape is also very soothing.

水牛ツアーは、とても、竹富のゆっくり時間を堪能出来て良かったです
ガイドさんの三線も、上手で楽しかったので、今度は、自転車を借りて島の周囲とか浜の星の砂を見に行きたいと思います。
街並みも、癒されます。

In Okinawa, I was able to feel the charm of Ishigaki and the surrounding islands, and I was amazed by the power and strength of the water buffalo. I felt it was a tour I would like to experience again.

沖縄、石垣、離島の風情を感じることができ、水牛の迫力と力強さには驚きました。また、体験したいツアーだと感じました。

At first, we were given tickets and just moved in order, so it was very easy, straightforward, and we could enjoy the sightseeing smoothly without waiting.

In terms of content, we could see the mangroves well, crossed the sea on a water buffalo, and surprisingly, the food was delicious, which was great.

This time, we traveled with a group of tourists. They talked a lot, laughed loudly, and during the water buffalo ride, they played the sanshin and started singing. We had to wait because we couldn't gather at the meeting time, which delayed the arrival of other guests at their destination, Taketomi Island (although we didn't have that plan).

If we had been with people of the same age, we might have talked, but for us, it was a negative point.

I thought this plan was aimed at group tourism.

It's for those who don't want to move around much. We would have preferred to do the mangrove kayaking instead.

最初にチケットを渡され　順番に移動していくだけなのでとても簡単で、分かりやすく、待つこともなくスムーズに観光できました。
内容的にはマングローブもよく見えて、水牛で海を渡り、意外とご飯も美味しくて、良かったです。
今回私達は団体旅行客と一緒に回りました。とにかく　よくしゃべり、大声で笑う、水牛の時は三線を弾いてくれたのに、歌い出す。
集合時間に集合できず待たされる。その為他のお客さんの目的地　竹富島到着が遅れていた。（私達は行かないプランですが）
同じ年代の人達ならお話もしたかもしれませんが、私達にはマイナスポイントでした。

こちらのプランは団体向けの観光だと思いました。

あまり動きたくない人向けです。私達ならマングローブカヤックにすれば良かったです。

It was great to efficiently tour Ishigaki Island without renting a car, while also being able to sightsee and enjoy meals. The bus guide provided detailed information that helped me understand Ishigaki Island better, which I wouldn't have known on my own. Even in January, the blue sea and blue sky of Ishigaki Island were amazing.

レンタカーを借りずに石垣島を効率よく一周回れて、観光もできて、食事もできて良かったです
個人で回ってもわからないようなことをバスガイドさんが詳しく教えてくださるので石垣島の事がよくわかります
１月でも石垣島の青い海と青い空は最高でした

It was great to leisurely and efficiently visit the island's attractions with a charming guide who spoke with a smile. Not only did we see the tourist spots, but we also received explanations about various places on the island that we wouldn't have known about on our own, which felt like a great value.

For lunch, we enjoyed Ishizaka beef hamburgers and Miminga at a restaurant with a nice view, and everything was very delicious.

Lastly, we got to listen to some sanshin songs, which made for wonderful memories. I highly recommend it! ❣️

笑顔語り口魅力的なガイドさんとのんびり、しかも無駄なく効率的に島の名所を回れてとても良かったです。観光地だけでなく、自分達で回るのでは知り得ない島内の随所の説明もありお得感満載。
昼食は眺めのよい店で石坂牛ハンバーグ、ミミンガ等土地の食べ物網羅されとても美味しかったです。
最後に三線の唄も聞けとてもよい思い出となりました。オススメします❣️

It was great to efficiently tour each island while hitting all the key points. I recommend it for those who may have concerns about their stamina or are visiting the islands for the first time.

各島、ポイントを押さえて効率良く周遊できて良かったです。体力に不安な方や初めての島巡りにおすすめです。

I had a great time. The guide was very experienced and explained things while occasionally playing the sanshin. It was a sunny day, so the scenery was fantastic, and there were moments when the guide took photos for us. The optional glass-bottom boat ride was also wonderful; the sea was very beautiful, and we were able to see sea turtles and coral.

とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんがとても慣れた方で、ところどころ三線も引きながら説明してくださいました。この日は晴れていたので景色も最高で、ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくださる場面もありました。オプションで乗ったグラスボートも、海がとても綺麗でウミガメや珊瑚なども見ることができました。

Since I was traveling alone and didn't have a car, I was glad to be able to visit many tourist spots in a short amount of time. Both the guide and the driver were great, and I had a lot of fun.

ひとり旅だったので、車もないし、短い時間で、
沢山の観光地を回ってもらって良かったです。
ガイドさんも運転手さんもとても良かった、楽しかったです

I was able to spend time very leisurely, forgetting about the clock.

It was great that there were many local dishes prepared for lunch.

I recommend exploring Taketomi Island by renting a bicycle.

時間を忘れてとてものんびりと過ごせました。

お昼ごはんは郷土料理がたくさん用意されていて良かったです。

竹富島はレンタサイクルで巡るのをオススメします。

If you get separated a little, the person in charge will change depending on the location, so be careful. It might be difficult for those who are not used to it, but I think the content is good. Those who have trouble keeping up should be cautious.

ちょっとはぐれると代わる代わるだから場所で担当変わるし気をつけて、なれない人は無理かも、内容は良いと思います。飲み込み悪い方は気を付けて

We were blessed with warm weather and no wind. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it was very delicious. The guide sang several songs, and the snake lute was wonderful. I would like to participate again.

温暖で、風も無く良い天候に恵まれました。
昼食も期待してませんでしたが、大変美味しいかったです。ガイドさんが何曲も歌ってくれて、蛇三線も素晴らしかったです。又参加したいです。

It was a trip for two with my husband. We were able to relax, and the experience was rich. We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy the laid-back warmth of Okinawa.

主人との二人旅でした。のんびりできて、内容は豊富でした。
天気にも恵まれ沖縄のゆったりとした温かさを体験できました。

The male water buffalo does not walk alone, and I learned that it defecates in the water, which was fun to know. The performance of the sanshin was also wonderful. Thank you.

雄の水牛は一頭では歩かない、排泄は水の中にするなど楽しく教えていただきました、三線の演奏も素晴らしかった。ありがとう

I traveled from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island, enjoyed the mangroves, and then rode a water buffalo to be pulled to Yufu Island. Thank you, Musashi!

石垣島から西表島に行き、マングローブを満喫してから、水牛に乗り由布島まで牽引してもらいました。ムサシありがとうございました

I was able to easily experience the long-awaited water buffalo cart ride. My child was scared of the water buffalo and hid their face during the commemorative photo, but when I said I wanted to buy it, they kindly stayed with us until my child lifted their face for the photo. I was very grateful for their kindness.
I was able to choose the return ferry time, but due to other circumstances, I selected an earlier time, so I didn't have enough time to leisurely enjoy the town's scenery. It would have been better if the ferry time on the way there had been a bit earlier.

念願の水牛車体験を手軽に出来ました。子供が水牛を怖がり記念写真を撮る時に顔を伏せてしまいましたが、購入すると言ったら顔を上げるまで撮影に付き合ってくださいました。とても親切でありがたかったです。
帰りのフェリーの時間を選べましたが、その後の都合で早い時間を選択した為、ゆっくり街並みを観る時間がありませんでした。行きのフェリーの時間がもう少し早いと良かったです。

I was looking for a tour that I could participate in with my 10-month-old daughter. It was very kind and appreciated that they helped us with getting on and off the boat and bus while carrying the stroller. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the mangroves. Riding a water buffalo while listening to shamisen music and crossing over to Yufuin Island became the best memory of this trip.

10ヶ月になる娘とも参加できるツアーを探していました。
船の乗り降りやバスの乗り降りもベビーカーを一緒に持ってくださりとても親切でありがたかったです。
マングローブの美しさに圧倒されました。
三味線を聴きながら水牛にのって由布島に渡れたのはこの旅一番の思い出になりました。

The mangrove cruise on Iriomote Island was enjoyable. I was able to see trees that can only be found here up close, and the explanations from the staff were clear and helpful, making the experience relaxing and pleasant.

The experience of crossing to Yubu Island by water buffalo was also unique to this location and enjoyable. On the island, I could take photos with the water buffalo, and the timing was just right for a complete tour. The lunch was average, nothing special.

Overall, I was able to efficiently and enjoyably explore the two islands, and I'm glad I participated.

西表島のマングローブクルーズが楽しかったです。ここでしか見られないような木々を間近で見られ、係のお姉さんの話もわかりやすくよかったですし、ゆったりと気持ちよかったです。
西表島から由布島に渡る水牛もここならでは体験でよかったです。島では水牛と一緒に写真も撮れて、時間的にも一周回るのにちょうどいい。お昼ご飯は可もなく不可もなくといったところでした。
全体的には２島を効率よく楽しく周らせていただき、参加してよかったです。

My first time in Ishigaki Island, and I was able to efficiently visit the islands. I was healed by the sound of the sanshin and singing while on the water buffalo cart. I was worried about the weather and didn't reserve a bicycle, but I was able to rent one on-site and enjoyed cycling for the first time in a while.

初めての石垣島　効率的に島々をまわれました。
水牛車の上での三線の音、歌声に癒されました。
お天気が心配で自転車を予約しませんでしたが現地で借りられ久しぶりのサイクリングを楽しみました。
