Ishigaki/Yaeyama
The island tour by bus, glass boat, and water buffalo ride was great, and it was wonderful to fully enjoy Ishigaki Island with the guide. However, the information about the bus returning to the terminal was unclear.
バスにて島巡り、グラスボート、水牛乗車はガイドさん含めて石垣島を満喫できて良かったのですが、ターミナルに戻るバスの案内が分かりにくかったです
In the morning, we participated in kayaking, and in the afternoon, we went to the Blue Cave for snorkeling.
Although the three groups of participants had different ages and backgrounds, we all enjoyed ourselves together thanks to our guide's cheerful leadership!
In the morning, we had two male guides for kayaking. They were very kind to the children, and even the older girls enjoyed kayaking without fear! We were able to take a lot of photos, and they sent them to us right away on our phones, so we could check them immediately!
Lunch was free for a while, but they gave us great recommendations, so we could easily find a delicious place to eat!
In the afternoon, we had two female guides for snorkeling. During the jump into the Blue Cave, the older kids were a bit scared, which made us worry… (laughs). However, during snorkeling, the guides pulled us along with floaties, so we didn’t have to worry at all, and the adults enjoyed themselves too!
午前中はカヤック、
午後は青の洞窟、シュノーケリング、
に参加しました。
年齢も構成もバラバラだった参加3組でしたが、ガイドさんの明るいリードで一体になって楽しめました!
午前のカヤックは男性2人のガイドさんでした。子供達にも優しく接していただき、年長さんの女子も怖がらずカヤック楽しめました!写真もたくさん撮ってもらえましたし、その後すぐにケータイで送ってもらえたので、即チェックできました!
ランチは一旦フリーになりますが、オススメもしっかり教えてもらえたので、サクッと美味しいお店に入れました!
午後のシュノーケリングは女性2人のガイドさんでした。青の洞窟の飛び込みでは、年長さんが少し怖がって心配しましたが…笑。
その後のシュノーケリングの時は、ガイドさんにずーっと浮き輪で引っ張っていただいたので全く心配せず、大人は大人で楽しんでました!
We participated as a couple. The purpose was the tour of Iriomote Island, which we had long admired. The mangrove cruise, crossing the island by water buffalo cart, the cart tour on Taketomi Island, and riding the glass-bottom boat twice were all part of a very satisfying tour. We were blessed with good weather; it was comfortably warm. The kindness of all the staff was delightful. Thank you very much. We would like to use your services again.
夫婦で参加しました。かねてから憧れだった西表島のツアーが目的でした。マングローブ遊覧や水牛車での島渡り、竹富島での牛車巡り、グラスボートは二度も乗りすべて大変満足のツアーでした。天気にも恵まれ、やや暑い程度で快適なツアーでした。すべてのスタッフの人情が心地よかった。ありがとうございました。また利用したいです。
I chose this tour because I wanted to visit three islands in a short amount of time. There was no tour guide throughout the trip; instead, we received an explanation at the ferry terminal and got tickets for the entire itinerary, which we followed. At each destination, representatives from the respective tour companies were waiting for us, so everything went smoothly without any confusion.
The mangrove tour in Iriomote was fascinating, the water buffalo cart ride to Yubu Island was soothing, and I was moved by the beauty of the sea in Taketomi Island. I wished we had a bit more time for sightseeing on Yubu Island, and it was disappointing that the bike rental return time on Taketomi Island was early, leading to a long wait for the departure of the return ferry.
滞在時間が少ないけど3島を観光したいということでこちらのツアーを選択しました。
通してつく添乗員さんはおらず、フェリーターミナルで説明を受け全行程のチケットをもらい、それに沿って進んでいくツアーです。行った先にはそれぞれの観光会社の方が待ち受けており、迷うこともなくスムーズに終了することができました。
西表のマングローブツアーは興味深く、由布島渡りの水牛車には癒され、竹富島の海の美しさに感動しました。
由布島の観光時間がもう少し欲しかったのと、竹富島のレンタサイクル返却時間が早くて、帰りの船の出発までの待ち時間が長かったのが残念でした。
I was disappointed that I couldn't take photos with the water buffalo freely. I also couldn't eat the lunch because it had beans in it due to my allergy, and I was told that exchanges were not allowed, which was disappointing. I would like the lunch menu to be provided in advance.
水牛と写真が自由に撮れずがっかり。ランチが豆の入ったご飯がアレルギーの為食べられず、交換も不可と言われてがっかり。ランチメニューを前もって記載してほしい。
At first, I was really worried about whether I could ride, but they kindly taught me, and after practicing several times, I was able to ride properly! Along the way, we stopped many times, and they explained various interesting facts about Okinawa in a fun way. The scenery was also wonderful, and I’m really glad I experienced it! It's no surprise that there are many repeat customers. Someone in the same group mentioned it was their fifth time. I definitely want to do it again!
最初は本当に乗れるのか不安でしたが、とても親切に教えていただき何度も練習して、ちゃんと乗れるようになりました!途中、何度も止まって、いろいろな沖縄の知識を面白楽しく説明もしてもらい、景色も素晴らしく体験してみて本当に良かったです!リピーターが多いのも納得です。同じグループでご一緒した方は5回目と言われていました。また絶対したいと思います!
Dear Kurumama,
Thank you very much for participating in the Hirata Tourism tour! We are very pleased to have been able to assist in conveying the charm of Okinawa, even just a little.
When you visit Ishigaki Island again, all of our staff will be sincerely looking forward to serving you!

この度は平田観光のツアーにご参加いただき、
誠にありがとうございます!
沖縄の魅力をお伝えするのに少しでもお手伝いできた事
とても嬉しく思います!
石垣島にお越しの際には
またのご利用をスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております!
I had to wait to ride the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, and after it was over, I was quickly put on a bus to the port, so I couldn't do any sightseeing. The rest was enjoyable.
竹富島で水牛車に乗るまで待たされ、終わってから港までのバスにすく乗せられて、観光が出来ませんでした。後は楽しかったです。
Star Sand
The water buffalo was amazing!
I had fun visiting three islands in one day!
The tour bus driver was also great at storytelling, it was the best!
I want to come back for sightseeing again! ✨
星の砂
水牛最高でした!
1日で3島まわれて楽しかったです!
観光バスの運転手さんも話が上手くて最高でした
また観光にきたいです✨
I was able to fully enjoy the unique mangroves and the beauty of the sea in Ishigaki Island, and it became a wonderful memory. I was satisfied to see so many beautiful natural landscapes!
石垣島ならではのマングローブや海の魅力を堪能できて、とてもいい思い出になりました。自然のきれいな景色を沢山見ることができて満足です!
I chose a bus tour plan because I was anxious about walking around and moving by bicycle during my pregnancy. The weather was great, and even though it was May, it was really hot, so taking the bus was definitely the right decision! Thank you very much.
妊娠中で歩き回ることや自転車等の移動に不安があった為、バス観光のプランにしました。
お天気にも恵まれ5月でしたがすごく暑かったので
バス移動で大正解でした!ありがとうございました。
I went with my parents, and we had a fulfilling time enjoying the sights. It was a rewarding day. The tour guide at the sightseeing spots provided thorough explanations, which was also educational. The hotel shuttle service was great, as they confirmed the reservation before departing.
両親と3人で行きました。
充実な時間と観光を楽しめて、充実した1日でした。
観光地のガイドさんも丁寧に説明してくれるので勉強にもなります。
ホテルまで送迎もあり、ちゃんと予約者の搭乗を確認してから出発してくれるのが良かった。
Both kayaking and snorkeling were great with the nice weather and abundant nature! Above all, the staff's thoughtfulness, kindness, and unique behavior were absolutely wonderful! Thank you very much!!
カヤックもシュノーケリングも天気が良くて、自然豊かでした!なによりもスタッフさんの気遣いと優しさとユニークな振る舞いが、最高によかったです!ありがとうございました!!
I had a relaxing time with an aromatherapy massage. I usually don't go for massages, but I was very satisfied to spend such a wonderful time during my precious day off. I comfortably dozed off.
アロママッサージで癒しの時間を過ごせました。普段はマッサージに行かないのですが、せっかくの休みで素敵な時間が過ごせてとても満足です。心地よくうとうとしてしまいました。
Dear Ringo,
Thank you very much for your recent visit. We also appreciate your high rating and kind review despite your busy schedule.
It is very encouraging to receive feedback that you had a relaxing time. We will continue to work hard to ensure your satisfaction on your next visit. All of our staff sincerely look forward to welcoming you again.

ゆったりとした時間を過ごせという口コミを頂きとても励みになります。
次回も満足して頂けるよう頑張って参ります。
りんご様のまたのご利用スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
It was unfortunately cloudy, but it was comfortable and not too hot. This tour is efficient for a one-day trip and just the right fit, plus the transportation is on a large high-speed boat, so I recommend it.
あいにくの曇りでしたが、暑くなく快適に過ごせました。1日で回るには効率が良く、丁度いいツアー、移動も大型の高速船なのでおすすめです。
The water buffalo was cute, and I was healed by the relaxing time. Also, it was great to see many fish while on the glass-bottom boat.
水牛可愛くてのんびりとした時間に癒されました。
また、グラスボートもたくさんのお魚が見れて良かったです。
I was worried about what would happen if the trip was canceled due to bad weather, but the guide provided appropriate support, allowing me to enjoy my first trip to Okinawa and Ishigaki Island and create wonderful memories. Thank you very much.
天候悪い中、中止になったらどうしようかと思っていたけど、ガイドさんが適切な対応をして下さり、初の沖縄、石垣島旅行を楽しみ、最高の思い出を作る事が出来ました。有難う御座います。
It was my first visit to Ishigaki Island and Taketomi Island in about 50 years. Last time, I stayed for a month with friends and enjoyed the sea every day while snorkeling. This time, I spent time with my wife, taking a mangrove tour, riding a water buffalo, and cycling around the island with a rental bike. It was a packed day of activities. I wish there had been electric assist bicycles available on Taketomi Island as well.
約50年ぶりの石垣島竹富島でした。前回は、友達と1ヶ月間滞在し、シュノーケルをつけて毎日海を楽しんでいました。
今回は妻と一緒でマングローブ遊覧をしたり、水牛に乗ったり、レンタサイクルで島を回ったりして過ごしました。1日で盛りだくさんのツアーでした。竹富島でも電動アシスタント自転車があれば良かった
This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I experienced a mangrove kayaking tour! The staff were very kind and taught us how to kayak in a detailed manner. We participated as a large group, and it was a lot of fun! Even small children were able to enjoy it!
今回初めての石垣島旅行ということで、マングローブカヤックツアーを体験してきました!
スタッフの方達も優しくてカヤックの乗り方等丁寧に教えていただきました(^^)大人数で参加したのですが、とても楽しかったです★小さい子供も一緒に楽しめました!
I was a bit confused because there was no local guide. That was disappointing. It was also confusing that all the tickets were self-managed.
現地案内人がいないので行動に少し困惑しました。その点が残念でした。チケット全て自己管理の切符制で困惑しました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
On this tour, there will be no tour guide accompanying you, and upon arrival at each island, a local guide will assist you. We have provided this information on the tour page and will also inform you during the gathering on the day of the tour to ensure everyone understands. To facilitate smoother guidance on-site, we, along with the operating company, will continue to strive for further service improvement. Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable experience.

I thought I would be very busy visiting three islands, but I was able to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace without feeling rushed. The mangroves on Iriomote Island and the water buffalo cart ride were both delightful, and the guide's stories were fun, filled with many first-time experiences. The water buffalo cart driver's sanshin and singing were very emotional. I really felt the essence of Okinawa.
However, it was a bit disappointing that the mangrove cruise had flowers and fruits mostly on the right side, so I couldn't see them up close on the left.
Cycling on Taketomi Island was refreshing! Next time, I want to research the roads and shops a bit more before coming. (I got lost ^^; but that too is a fun memory.)
3島も巡るので、大忙しかと思いましたが、急かされることもなく、ゆっくり満喫できました。
西表島のマングローブでも、水牛車でも、ガイドさんの話が楽しく、見たり聞いたり初めてだらけ。水牛車の運転手?さんの三線と歌はとても情緒がありました。沖縄〜って感じました。
ただ、マングローブクルーズは花や実が近くで見れるのが右側に偏っていたのが少し残念です。
竹富島のサイクリングは気持ちが良かった!
次はもう少し道やお店を調べてから来たいです。
(道に迷ってしまいました^^; それも楽しい思い出ですが)
We participated in this tour to celebrate my father's retirement! It was his first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but thanks to the thorough instruction, my 65-year-old father was able to enjoy it. He was so happy to have created a lifelong memory, and I'm glad we joined!
父親の定年退職のお祝い旅行でこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました!初めてのSUPでしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしていただいたおかげで65歳の父でも楽しめたようです^^
一生の思い出になったと喜んでもらえて、参加して良かったです♪
Since it was my first time on a tour, I was a bit nervous, but thanks to the guide who provided a fun and thorough experience, I was able to create wonderful memories. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island, I would like to join the tour again.
ツアー形式は初めてだったので、緊張していたのですが、ガイドの方が楽しく丁寧に案内していただいたおかげで最高の思い出にすることができました。次回も石垣島に訪れた際はツアーにまた参加したいと思います。
The island-hopping tour, which I was most looking forward to on my first trip to Ishigaki, was enjoyable and allowed for a relaxed pace. During the mangrove cruise, they provided detailed explanations about the types of mangroves and the animals that inhabit them. I think it would be a wonderful experience for children. I want to go again.
初めての石垣旅行で一番楽しみにしていた離島めぐり
ゆったりと移動でき楽しめました。
マングローブ遊覧ではマングローブの種類、生息している動物の
ことなど、詳しく説明してくれます。
子どもにはとてもいい体験になると思います
また行きたいです。
- Canoeing
Many people were doing SUP, but my partner and I enjoyed it together in a two-person canoe. The weather was nice, and it felt great. We took a lot of photos with the beautiful sea in the background.
- Snorkeling
Due to rough seas, we didn't go to the Blue Cave but instead held the event at Okasaki Beach. We were able to see various fish, corals, and even sea turtles, making it a wonderful day. It had been about 20 years since I last swam, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea safely and happily. I got a bit seasick from overeating at lunch, so it's better to eat lightly before snorkeling (even though the guide had warned us in advance...).
・カヌー
多くの方がSUPでしたが恋人と共に2人乗りで楽しみました。天気も良くとても気持ちかったです。綺麗な海をバックにたくさん写真を撮って頂きました。
・シュノーケル
海が荒れていたため青の洞窟でなく大崎ビーチでの開催でした。
様々なお魚、サンゴだけでなくウミガメとも会うことができ、素敵な一日となりました。
泳ぐのは20年ぶりぐらいでしたが、安全かつ楽しく綺麗な海を楽しめました。
昼食を食べ過ぎたせいで多少波酔いをしてしまったのでシュノーケル前は控えめにした方が良いです(ガイドさんが事前に伝えてくれていたのに…)
Although I signed up myself, I was a bit anxious about possibly being a burden to my teammates since I'm not very athletic. However, the instructor taught us very well, and it turned out to be a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. It was great that we had a photo time during the session and got to hear stories about the geography of Ishigaki Island and some interesting tidbits from a nice viewpoint. I highly recommend this experience not only to those who haven't tried Segway yet but also to those who have experienced it elsewhere! My husband also said he had a great time. We definitely want to participate again next time. Thank you for your hospitality!
自分で申し込んでおきながら、運動音痴なので同じチームの方々に迷惑かけてしまうかも⁇と恐るおそるの参加でしたが、インストラクターの方が上手に教えてくださり本当に心に残る楽しい体験となりました。途中で撮影タイムを設けたり、眺めの良い場所で石垣島の地理や小ネタなどのお話も聞けて良かったです。感動のセグウェイを体験していない方はもちろん、他所で経験済みの方々にも是非オススメです‼︎夫もホントに楽しかったと喜んでいました。また是非次回も参加したいです。お世話になりありがとうございました。
Dear Nunu-chan's Mom,
Thank you very much for using Hirata Tourism! We appreciate your kind words! Our instructors are also deeply moved, and it serves as great encouragement for us!
We all look forward to your next visit!
ぬぬちゃんのママ様
この度は平田観光をご利用頂き、誠にありがとうございます!
嬉しいお言葉の数々、ありがとうございます!
インストラクターも感激しており、とても励みになります!
またのご利用をスタッフ一同
心よりお待ちしております!
We participated as a couple on April 9th. My wife wanted to see the mangroves, and I was interested in the water buffalo cart. Since we had an evening flight that day, this tour allowed us to return to the hotel early and also visit Kabira Bay by rental car. We were able to make efficient use of our time. For those with limited time, this tour is highly recommended as it offers great content.
4月9日に夫婦で参加しました。妻がマングローブ、私が水牛車を希望しておりました。当日夕方の飛行機利用でしたので、このツアーを利用すれば早めにホテルへ戻れ、川平湾へもレンタカーで行けました。効率よく回れました。時間が限られている方は内容が大変良いツアーですのでおすすめです。
I enjoyed a tour of the magnificent mangrove forest. I was amazed by the guide's extensive knowledge. The witty conversation from the bus driver during our subsequent journey was also enjoyable. Along the way, I was moved by the bright red flowers of the deigo, and I found comfort in the sanshin music I listened to while swaying in the water buffalo cart. On Yubu Island, tropical plants, bougainvillea, and hibiscus were in full bloom. At the butterfly garden, I was able to see the elegant Papilio butterfly and golden chrysalises. As we leisurely traveled along the stone path adorned with blooming bougainvillea in the water buffalo cart, it felt like stepping into another world, filled with continuous amazement. Just gazing at the emerald sea from each island was moving, and I felt glad I came.
雄大なマングローブの森を遊覧しました。ガイドの豊富な知識に驚きました。その後の移動のバスのドライバーさんのウイットに富んだ会話も楽しかったです。途中、真っ赤なデイゴの花に感動し、水牛車では揺られながら聴いた三線の曲に癒されました。由布島では熱帯植物やブーゲンビリア・ハイビスカスが咲き乱れていました。蝶園では優雅なオオゴマダラ蝶と黄金のサナギも見る事が出来ました。水牛車でブーゲンビリアが咲き乱れる石垣の小道をのんびりと回ると、非日常というか、別世界の様で感動の連続でした。各島でエメラルドの海を眺めているだけでも感動し、来て良かったと思いました。
Since it was my first time in Ishigaki Island, I wanted to experience island hopping, including Iriomote Island, so I applied for this tour that allows you to efficiently visit various places in one day. Although there wasn't a guide with us, we were smoothly greeted and shown around without getting lost.
Talking to locals and hearing various stories was very educational and really great. My main goal was to ride the water buffalo cart, so I chose the water buffalo cart option on Taketomi Island as well. Crossing the sea and enjoying the bougainvillea flowers were completely different experiences, and I'm glad I chose the water buffalo cart!
初めての石垣島だったので、西表島も含めた離島巡りも経験したく、1日で効率的に色々回れるこちらに応募しました。ガイドの方が一緒ではないですが、迷うことなくその場その場で出迎えて案内してもらえてスムーズでした。
やはり現地で色々話を聞くと勉強になるしすごく良かったです。
水牛車が目的だったので、竹富島のオプションも水牛車にしましたが、海を渡るのと、ブーゲンビリアの花の中を楽しむのはそれぞれ全然違って、水牛車選んで良かったと思いました!
It was my first time in Ishigaki. I wondered if I would make it there.
But! To my surprise, it was sunny, and while listening to the meaning of the stars, I truly had a wonderful time.
I am a Gemini, and hearing about the Gemini brothers resonated with me.
I thought to myself that I want to go again.
初めての石垣でした。到着まで辿り着くのかと
でも!まさかの晴れで星の意味など聞くうちほんとにほんとに楽しくなりました。
私は双子座
双子座の兄弟のお話を聞き。自分自身にも感じるものがありました。

I had a very enjoyable time on a packed day of island hopping. The staff were friendly, and I'm glad I participated.
島巡る盛りだくさんの1日で、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。スタッフの方も気さくな方で参加してよかったです。
