All Reviews for 沖繩活動

Originally, it was a tour for SUP and snorkeling in one day, but the afternoon snorkeling was canceled due to sea conditions (crying). However, thanks to being able to reschedule the snorkeling for another morning, I was able to enjoy the trip without any regrets.

Safety measures were excellent, and the guide had a wealth of knowledge, allowing us to participate in the tour with peace of mind. The guide took photos from very good angles, so it wasn't a problem not to bring my smartphone. The photos taken were sent to us on the same day, which was a delightful service.

元々は1日でSUPとシュノーケリングのツアーでしたが、午後のシュノーケリングが海のコンディションによりキャンセルに（泣）でしたが、別日の午前中にシュノーケリングを振り替えしていただいたおかげで、心残り無く旅行が楽しめました。
安全対策もバッチリ、ガイドさんの知識も豊富で安心してツアーに参加出来ました。
ガイドさんがとてもいいアングルで写真を撮ってくださるので、スマホの持ち込みをしなくても問題なかったです。撮った写真はその日の内に送ってもらえるので、嬉しいサービスでした。

Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island are located very close to Ishigaki Island. These islands offer a different scenery compared to Ishigaki Island. If you're going to Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend participating in an island-hopping tour.

石垣島からすぐ近くに浮かんでいる西表島、由布島、竹富島。石垣島とはまた違う景色が広がる島です。せっかく石垣島に行くのなら離島ツアーに参加されることをお勧めします。

I opted out of the ship's optional tour and explored on my own, but it was affordable and easy to navigate. Taketomi Island, pulled by a water buffalo while listening to the tranquil songs of the sanshin, was absolutely wonderful.

船のオプションツアーに外れて自力で探した観光でしたが、値段も安く、分かりやすかった。三線の長閑な歌と共に水牛さんに引かれていった竹富島は最高でした。

I crossed through the mangroves by canoe, and even in my late 50s, I was able to enjoy it without any difficulty. Although it was cloudy and I couldn't see the sunset, I was able to experience nature up close to the water's surface among the mangroves.

マングローブの中をカヌーで渡り、50代後半でも無理なく楽しめました。
曇りでサンセットは叶いませんでしたが、マングローブを水面近くに見て自然を体験できました。

I used the bus to conveniently reach my destination. You can use it within 24 hours, including stops along the way from the northern lighthouse of Ishigaki Island to the airport.

バスを利用して便利に目的地までいきました。石垣島の北の灯台から空港までの間途中下車も含め　
24時間以内であれば使用できます

I learned about the one-day bus free pass while researching transportation options in advance. This is a very cost-effective system.

事前に移動方法を調べている時にバスの一日フリーパスのことを知りました。これは大変にコスパの良いシステムですね。

It was the morning of our departure day, but we were able to get a ride to the hotel. Since it was early, it wasn't too hot and I didn't have to worry much about sunburn. After returning to the hotel, I was able to take a bath and do laundry in the coin laundry while having breakfast, making good use of the time until check-out.

The seats in the shuttle were covered with vinyl sheets, so it was no problem to sit down wet. As long as I had drinks and a towel, it felt easy to participate.

Our guide, Hina, introduced us to various delicious recommended places during the ride, but since it was our departure day... I wish I could have gone if I had a few more days to stay. But now I have something to look forward to for my next visit to Ishigaki Island! I was able to drink the shake she recommended at the airport on the way back.

During the ride, I was able to hear a lot of stories, so it wasn't boring, and canoeing was fun. Canoeing in the morning felt refreshing and cleansing for the soul. The distance we paddled felt short, but even when there was a bit of waiting time for other groups to take photos, they encouraged us by saying we could go a little further and come back, so the waiting time wasn't boring. This was my first canoeing experience, and it seemed like my husband enjoyed this tour so much that he said he wanted to try a longer distance next time. I think I want to challenge myself with a longer lunch tour next time! Thank you very much!

帰る日の朝でしたが、ホテルまで送迎もしていただけ、朝早いので、暑くもなく日焼けの心配もほぼなく、ホテルに帰ってからも、お風呂に入って、朝食を食べてる間にコインランドリーで濡れた服も洗濯乾燥もできてチェックアウトまで時間を有効に使えました。
送迎車の座席は、ビニールシート敷いてくれてるので、ぬれたままでも問題なく、持ち物は、飲み物とタオルがあれば、気軽に参加できる感じでした。

ガイドのヒナさんが送迎中に、いろいろ美味しいオススメのお店とか紹介してくださったのですが、帰る日だったので…もう少し滞在日数があれば行ってみたかったです>⁠.⁠<
でも次回石垣島に来た時の楽しみができました〜(⁠^⁠^⁠)
おすすめしてもらったシェイクだけは帰りの空港で飲めました〜(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

送迎中も、いっぱいお話し聞けたので、退屈しないし、カヌーも楽しかったです。朝からのカヌーは、気持ちよく心が洗われる感じでした〜(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
漕ぐ距離的には短い気もしますが、他の組の写真撮影の時、少し待ち時間ができても、どこどこの辺りまで行って、戻ってきてもいいですよと、声もかけてもらえるので、少しの待ち時間も退屈なくすごせました。今回初めてのカヌー体験で、こちらのツアーが楽しかったみたいで、旦那は、もう少し長い距離もしてみたいと言ってました
次回は少し時間長めのお昼とかのツアーに挑戦してみたいと思います!!
ありがとうございました〜

Since it was the year-end and New Year holidays, the shops listed in the guidebook were closed, so I joined a tour.

In Iriomote, I heard stories about the Iriomote cat, and the mangrove cruise offered beautiful views that I wouldn't normally see. In Yufu and Taketomi, I enjoyed sightseeing while riding on a water buffalo cart. I didn't have time to collect star sand to fill a bottle, so I bought some as a souvenir. The gelato at Yufu Island Chaya was also delicious, so I recommend it!

年末年始だったので、ガイドブックに載っているようなお店はお休みだったので、ツアーに参加しました。

西表ではイリオモテヤマネコの話を聞いたり、マングローブ遊覧も普段見ることのない景色が見れて素敵でした。由布・竹富では水牛車に乗り、観光を楽しめました。
星の砂を瓶いっぱいに集める時間がなかったので、そこは購入してお土産に★
由布島茶屋のジェラートも美味しかったので、オススメです！

It was my first SUP experience, and I was taught carefully from the beginning, making it a wonderful memory! The morning meeting time is early, but paddling while watching the sunrise is exceptional! I want to do it again!

初めのSUP体験でしたが、一から丁寧に教えていただきとっても素敵な思い出になりました！朝の集合時間は早いですが、日の出を見ながらのsupは別格です！またやりたいです！

It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and the guide's explanations were very thorough and easy to understand, which made me feel safe and enjoy it! I was a bit nervous at first, but I quickly got used to it and was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea, experiencing something out of the ordinary. It was a highly satisfying activity. It became a wonderful memory! I definitely recommend it to beginners as well.

初めてのSUP体験でしたが
ガイドさんの説明がとても丁寧でわかりやすく
安心して楽しむことができました！
最初はちょっと緊張していたものの
すぐに慣れて、めちゃくちゃ綺麗な海で
非日常をたっぷり味わえて
大満足のアクティビティでした。
とても素敵な思い出になりました！
初心者の方にもぜひおすすめしたいです。

The day of the tour was clear and the weather was nice, marking the end of the rainy season. It was hot all day, so choosing a bus tour on Taketomi Island was the right decision. I was healed by Ichirou-kun, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, who walked slowly. The bento box served for lunch was also delicious. The cat at Kaiji Beach was adorable. I'm glad I participated in the tour. Thank you very much.

ツアーの日は梅雨明けした日でお天気はよかったです。一日中暑かったので竹富島はバス観光にして正解でした。由布島の水牛車はゆっくり歩くいちろうくんに癒されました。お昼に出されたお弁当もおいしかったです。カイジ浜にいたネコちゃん可愛かった♡ツアーに参加してよかったです。ありがとうございました。

In the morning, I did SUP, and in the afternoon, I experienced snorkeling. SUP is really fun! There aren't many places to try it on Honshu, so I definitely recommend it. At first, it feels a bit unfamiliar, but the sensation of gently gliding along the river is very interesting.

For snorkeling, there's no need to worry as the instructors are very attentive and teach beginners well. You'll be amazed by the beautiful corals and tropical fish you can see.

午前中にSUP、午後にシュノーケリング体験を行いました。
SUP本当に楽しい！本州でもなかなか体験出来るところはないのでぜひやってほしいです。最初は慣れませんが川の上をゆらゆら進む感覚、とても面白いですよ。
シュノーケリングは初心者でもインストラクターの方が丁寧に教えてくれるので心配ないです。美しいサンゴと熱帯魚が見れるので感動しますよ。

I participated in the water buffalo event starting at 2:30 PM, and it was great to hear the songs too! After that, I rented a bicycle and sweated for 30 minutes. I'll go again!

14時半からで水牛参加しました、歌も聞けて良かったです♪
そのあとにレンタルサイクルして30分汗かきました
また行きますねー

I traveled alone freely and had a great time. Choosing the bus tour on Taketomi Island was the right decision. Even though it was before the rainy season, cycling in the strong midday sun would have been exhausting due to the heat. The bus driver guided us through the village and to the star sand beach, and most importantly, we could cool off once we returned to the bus. I didn't have high expectations for lunch on Yubu Island, but I was completely wrong; it was very delicious. There was also a guide that matched the dishes with explanations, so I was able to learn the names of Ryukyu cuisine and truly enjoy it. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island coincided with high tide, so we couldn't see the features, but just listening to the guide's many explanations was a valuable experience. Even as a solo traveler, I was able to enjoy talking with local staff, guides, and other participants in the same tour, asking for photos, and there was no time to feel lonely. I think it's great that you can smoothly visit three islands. Considering the ferry fees and various other costs, the tour price is reasonable and offers good value. I recommend it for those who are not into active activities like stand-up paddleboarding or diving while sightseeing in Ishigaki Island.

自由気ままに一人旅での利用でしたが、存分に楽しめました。竹富島では、バス観光を選び正解でした。梅雨入り前ではあっても、日中の強い日差しの中でサイクリングとかは暑さでバテそう…。バスの運転手さんが、集落や星砂浜を案内してくれるし、何よりバス車内に戻れば涼が得られました。由布島のランチは期待していなかったけれど、それは大間違いでとても美味しかったです。そしてお料理と照らし合わせができる案内が用意されていたので、琉球料理の名前もわかり堪能できました。西表島のマングローブの遊覧は、満潮と重なり特徴は見られなかったけれど、ガイドさんのたくさんの解説を聞いたりするだけでも貴重な体験で良かったです。一人でも現地スタッフの方やガイドの方、また同じツアー参加者とお話ししたり、写真をお願いしたりして十分楽しめます。寂しい思いをする暇はありませんでした。スムーズに3島をまわれるのでとても良いと思います。フェリー代とか色々考えるとツアー料金はそこそこしますがお得な内容でした。石垣島観光でサップとかダイビングとかアクティブなことが苦手な方にはお勧めです。

This tour is excellent because it allows you to visit three islands in one go. The experience with the water buffalo, in particular, became the highlight of my trip to Ishigaki Island.

このツアーひとつで3島回れるので非常に良いツアーです。
なかでも水牛の体験は石垣島旅行のハイライトになりました。

I think it's a great tour that you can enjoy easily! Since it's a tour that includes the Phantom Island and snorkeling, I believe it's a must-do when you come to Ishigaki Island!

手軽に楽しめる良いツアーだと思います！
幻の島とシュノーケリングのセットになっているツアーなので、石垣島に来たら抑えておきたいツアーだと思います！

マングローブは素晴らしかったし、水牛の乗馬はユニークでした。竹富島を自転車で回るのも楽しかったし、最高のマンゴースムージーを飲みました！

Mangroves were cool, the water buffalo ride was unique, riding bikes around Taketomi was fun, and had the best mango smoothie ever!

The buses in Ishigaki Island are expensive, so the free pass is very convenient and cost-effective. It costs over 1,000 yen just from the airport to Kabira, so if used wisely, you can save quite a bit. It's not limited to a single day but is valid for 24 hours, which gives you more time to use it.

When you show the reservation screen from Veltra, the driver will give you a paper ticket. I realized this free pass existed on my last day and hurried to buy it. There are even better deals for 2,000 yen for five days, so I want to make sure to buy it next time. You can also purchase it directly on the bus, but using Veltra allows you to use coupons and points, and there's no cash exchange, making it convenient.

I regret not noticing it sooner.

石垣島のバスは高いので、フリーパスはとても便利でコスパが良いです。空港からカビラまでだけで1000円以上するので、上手く使えばかなり節約できます。1日区切りではなく24時間なので、使える時間も長いです。

ベルトラの予約画面を見せると、運転手さんが紙のチケットをくれます。私は、このフリーパスがあることを最終日に気づき、急いで買いました。5日間で2000円ともっとお得なものがあるので、次回は忘れずに買いたいです。バスで直接買うこともできますが、ベルトラ経由でクーポンやポイントが使えたり、現金でのやりとりもないので便利です。

もっと早く気付かなかったことを後悔しています。

The highlight of this tour is definitely the "water buffalo cart." It's fascinating to see the water buffalo, which you can't encounter on the mainland, and the explanations about their characteristics were both interesting and informative. The descriptions were detailed and delivered in a humorous way, so I never got bored. The sanshin music and folk songs, as well as the island songs, were also great here.

このツアーの目玉はなんといっても、「水牛車」でしょう。本土ではお目にかかれない水牛、水牛の特徴などの説明が面白くタメになるし、説明もコミカルに詳細説明されていたのであきなかった。
ここでも三線と民謡、島唄がよかったです。

I went on a free plan to Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. The weather was nice, and the scenery was beautiful; it was the best. On Taketomi Island, I rode a water buffalo for 30 minutes, and then I had a plan with a rental bicycle, but I wished I had more time. I couldn't visit all the places I wanted to. I want to go again next time.

西表島、由布島、竹富島フリープランで行きました。お天気も良くて景色も綺麗で最高でした。竹富島では水牛に30分乗ってあとはレンタルサイクルでのプランでしたが、もっと時間が欲しかったです。行きたいところ全ては回れませんでした。
次の機会に行きたいです。

The guide's talk and the song played on the shamisen were wonderful. I'm also grateful to Ushisan for doing his best to guide us!

ガイドの方のお話と三味線での歌が素晴らしかった。
頑張って私たちを案内してくれた牛さんにも感謝です！

Although the weather was unfortunate due to the rainy season, I had an incredibly fun time. If it had been sunny, it might have been tough with the heat. As I mentioned at the beginning, despite the bad weather, I think it was a very good experience. There was no problem seeing the mangroves even in the rain. It was also a great experience that the guide took us on a route that was not usually accessible, possibly because the tour coincided with high tide. It was my first time doing SUP, and the guide's explanations were excellent, allowing both my spouse and me to enjoy it until the very end!

梅雨の時期のため、生憎の天気でしたがめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。晴れてたら日差しで逆にしんどかったかもしれませんね。
冒頭にも書きましたが天気が良くなかった中ですが、非常にいい経験が出来たと思います。マングローブ見るには雨でも全然問題無しでした。ツアーの時間が満潮の時もあってか、ガイドさんがあまり行けないコースを案内してもらえたのもとてもいい経験となりました。初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドさんの説明も上手で夫婦共々最後まで楽しめました！

It was the last day of my trip, so I opted for a two-island tour, and it was a thoroughly satisfying journey. The mangrove cruise was interesting thanks to the guide's explanations, and the timing was just right. The water buffalo cart ride was also a lot of fun. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it turned out to be delicious. Next, I would like to visit Taketomi Island as well.

旅行最終日だったので、２島ツアーにしましたが充分に満足出来る旅でした。
マングローブ遊覧はガイドさんの説明も興味深く時間的にもちょうどいい感じでした。水牛車もとても楽しかったです。
お昼ご飯もあまり期待はしていなかったのですが美味しかったです。
次は竹富島にも行ってみたいです。

I was able to efficiently tour the remote islands. I'm glad I could explore without wasting time on my first visit. I signed up for the glass boat plan, but it was disappointing that there was a 30-minute gap between the boat's arrival and departure. Other than that, it was fantastic. (The glass boat itself was also amazing.)

離島を効率よく巡れました。
初めて訪れる際に無駄なく巡れてよかったです。
グラスボートプランを申し込みましたが、この時間だけ間が船到着から出港まで30分空いてしまったのが残念です。
それ以外は最高でした。（グラスボート自体も最高でした。)

The Blue Cave tour and snorkeling were guided very carefully. I wanted to snorkel more; it ended so quickly.

青の洞窟ツアーもシュノーケルもとても丁寧にガイドしていただきました。もっとシュノーケルしてたいくらい一瞬で終わってしまいました。

At the bus stop, show the purchase screen on your smartphone to the staff to receive a pass that can be used for 24 hours from that time. While checking the timetable, consider where to go on the limited number of buses and how to return to your accommodation. If you can get on and off three times, it’s a good deal.

バス停でスマホの購入画面を係の人に見せてその時間から24時間使えるパスを受け取ります。時刻表を見ながら少ない本数のバスに乗ってどこへ行くか、どう戻って宿まで行くか。3回も乗り降りできたら元がとれお得です。

During the boat tour in Iriomote Island, it rained, but we didn't get too wet, and it was amazing! The bus driver provided explanations about Iriomote Island during the ride, so it was enjoyable and never boring. I was surprised by the size of the water buffalo! They were all so cute. My fourth-grade daughter also had a great time. The lunch set was delicious. We stayed on Taketomi Island until the last minute, and the locals were kind. I want to go back again!

西表島の遊覧船の時に雨が降ったので、そんなに濡れる事もなく、サイコーでした☆
移動中のバスも運転手さんが西表島の説明をしてくれて飽きる事もなく楽しかったです
水牛の大きさにビックリ！！
どの子も可愛かったです
小4の娘も楽しんでいました
お昼定食もおいしかったです
ギリギリまで竹富島にいて、島の人たちも優しく、また行きたいです！

I'm glad I was able to experience three islands in one day. I think renting a bicycle for sightseeing in Taketomi Island is essential for anyone who isn't very confident in their physical fitness. Since the time for exploring Iriomote Island was short, I thought it might be fine to just do the water buffalo cart experience from Iriomote to Yufu.

1日で3島体験できて良かったです
竹富島観光にレンタサイクリングは相当体力に自信がある人以外は必須だと思います
西表島の散策時間が短かったため、水牛車体験は、西表→由布だけでもいいかなと思いました

My first visit to Ishigaki Island was during the rainy season, but fortunately, it didn't rain and I was able to enjoy sightseeing. The color of the sea is truly different. I was amazed by the mangrove forest during the island-hopping cruise, and I was also impressed by the water buffalo cart for the first time. On Taketomi Island, I was torn between renting a bicycle and taking the bus, but taking the bus turned out to be the right choice. Unfortunately, the stargazing tour that night was canceled due to cloudy skies, which was really disappointing. I accidentally forgot it was the rainy season when planning my trip, but I'm glad it didn't rain and I was able to have a great time.

初めての石垣島、梅雨の時期に行ったのですが、雲空で雨になる事無く、観光できて
良かった。本当に海の色が違う、3島めぐりでクルージングでマングローブの林にビックリ、又初めての水牛車に感激し竹富島では、自電車とバスで悩んでいましたが、バスで回るのが正解でした。到着した夜の星空ツアーが曇り空の為キャンセルとなり本当に残念です。うっかり梅雨の時期を忘れ旅行の日程を組んでしまいましたが
雨にならずとても楽しむ事が出来て良かったです。

Even for those who can't swim, there was a guide with a float, so there was absolutely no need to worry! The sea was beautiful and there were plenty of fish.

泳げない人でもガイドの人が浮き輪を持ってるので全然心配いりませんでした！
海も綺麗で魚もいっぱいいました。
