All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I have never been interested in astronomy until now. From now on, I will pay a little more attention to the night sky. If I have the opportunity, I will participate.

今まで全く天体には無関心でした。
今後、少しだけ夜空を意識して過ごします。
機会が有れば参加します。

This was my second trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was really looking forward to participating in the starry sky tour that I couldn't join last time! The weather was a bit cloudy, but I was still thrilled to see so many stars and even the Milky Way, which I can't see in the city. The explanations were thorough, and it brought back memories of the constellations I learned in school.

Additionally, I was able to borrow binoculars and saw many stars that are definitely not visible to the naked eye, which was very moving!

One thing that concerned me was when the person giving the explanation said, "Ishigaki Island is a starry sky protection area..." I believe that the only places recognized as starry sky protection areas by the International Dark-Sky Association are Taketomi Island, Iriomote Island, Kuro Island, Hateruma Island, and the northern part of Ishigaki Island. Since the International Dark-Sky Association does not easily grant this designation even with a little city light, I thought there might be some misunderstanding if it was presented as a description of the entire Ishigaki Island. In fact, during my visit, there were parts that were not visible due to the influence of city lights. I wanted to see stars in a starry sky protection area, so when I realized that this was not a true starry sky protection area, I felt a bit sad.

石垣島への旅行は2度目で、前回参加できなかった星空ツアーに参加できることをとても楽しみにしてました！
天候は若干曇りがかっていましたが、それでも都内では見れないほどのたくさんの星空、天の川まで見れて嬉しかったです。説明を丁寧にしてくださり、学生時代に習った星座について思い出しました。

また、双眼鏡を貸していただき
絶対肉眼では見えない星もたくさん見れてとても感動しました！！

一点気になったのが、説明をしてくださった方が「石垣島は星空保護区で…」と言うところです。
実際に国際ダークスカイ協会が星空保護区に認定しているのは、竹富島、西表島、黒島、波照間島と石垣島の北部だったと思います。少しの街明かりでも簡単に認定しない国際ダークスカイ協会ですので、石垣島全体の説明だと勘違いされてしまう方がいるのではないかな…と思いました。実際、参加した際も街明かりの影響で見えていない部分もありましたので…。星空保護区で星を観たかったので、参加した際にここは本当の星空保護区じゃない？と気付いた時は少し悲しかったです。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I chose to visit three islands.

I had no interest in the ox cart and mangroves, but I was moved by them. Yujiro, who was a part-time worker until Yufu Island, was a smart kid who got into the frame by himself and tied the reins on his own. Ryu, the handsome guy from Taketomi Island, was also wonderful. Everyone was great!

初めての石垣島でしたので 3島巡りを

The tour was great as it allowed us to appreciate the beauty of each island. However, the COVID-19 measures were lacking, such as not addressing participants who did not wear masks. Please improve this.

ツアーはそれぞれの島の良さがわかり非常に良かったです。ただ、マスクを付けずに参加する人に注意しないなどコロナ対策は今一歩でした。改善ください。

On the day of our outing, the weather was a bit uncertain due to an approaching typhoon, but they adjusted the plan with safety in mind, and we had a great time. With a small group and care for those with less experience, I believe everyone enjoyed themselves! We participated as a group of four, and they took over 50 photos just for us, making for a fulfilling SUP experience. I would love to join again next time. Thank you!

当日は台風が近付いていた事もあり、天候が微妙でしたが安全に配慮しながら少し変更したプランを出していただき楽しませてもらいました。
少人数で経験が少ない人にもケアしていて全員が楽しめたと思います！
4人で参加しましたが私達の分だけで写真も50枚以上撮影していただいて充実したSUP体験になりました。
また次回も参加したいと思います、ありがとうございました。

I enjoyed the glass board, the bus, and the water buffalo. I was very satisfied with all of them. In particular, I felt a relaxed time with the water buffalo, which made me very happy.

グラスボード
バス
水牛
と楽しみました。どれもとても満足でした。
特に水牛はのんびりした時間を感じれ、大変満足しました。

The mangroves of Iriomote Island, the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island, the water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, and the guidance from the bus driver were all enjoyable experiences for sightseeing.

西表島のマングローブ、由布島へ渡る水牛車、武富島の水牛車、バスの運転手さんのガイド、どれも楽しく観光出来ました。

I went with my wife.
That star is me, and you are that star,
shining brightly together.
That night was quite a "I love you" moment.

Everyone,
please make sure to participate.

妻と行きました。
あの星が僕で、君があの星で
二つ輝いているね
と
、、、、、
その夜、なかなかのアイラブユーでした(^^)

皆さん
是非に参加されて下さい。。

I participated in a half-day SUP tour. They picked me up from the hotel on time, and we headed to Kabira by shared transport. During the ride, I learned various things about Ishigaki Island and delicious restaurants, which made the journey enjoyable. It was my first time doing SUP, but they provided a thorough briefing, so I was able to enjoy it without any issues. In areas with waves, they offered towing assistance, so I think even those without much stamina can participate with confidence. In the areas with high visibility, I could see the fish swimming. This time, the wind was strong, and I couldn't stand up much, so I want to join again and have a rematch! Thank you, instructor Furusawa, for the fun time. You took many wonderful photos, which became the best memories.

半日のSUPツアーに参加してきました。
時間通りにホテルにお迎えに来ていただき乗り合いで川平に向かいました。
車内では石垣島のこと、美味しいお店のことなどいろいろなことを教えていただき楽しく過ごすことができました。
SUPは初めてだったのですがきちんとレクチャーをしていただけるので問題なく楽しむことができました。途中波があるところでは牽引してもらえるので体力がない方でも安心して参加できると思います。
透明度が高いところでは泳ぐ魚の姿も見えました、今回は風が強くあまり立つことができなかったのでまた参加してリベンジしたいと思います！
インストラクターの古澤さん、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。ステキなお写真もたくさん撮っていただき最高の思い出になりました。

The number of people, the weather, and the time were all just right for the activity. I definitely want to use this service again.

人数、天気、時間
すべてがちょうどいいアクティビティでした。
また是非利用させて頂きたいと思いました。

The staff at the ferry terminal counter were very nice.

I was able to relax a lot, anyway. It was great to receive coupons that can be used in the area through the Go To campaign.

Be careful if you rent a bike at the water buffalo place, as it's quite expensive! It's easier to walk to the beach. It seemed like biking would be tough on the hills.

フェリーターミナルのカウンターの方は感じが良かったです。

とにかくのんびりできました。
go to キャンペーンで　地域で使えるクーポンがもらえて良かった。

水牛の所でレンタサイクルすると　かなり高いから注意！
ビーチまで　歩いた方が楽だし。
自転車の方は坂道大変そうだった。

On the day of the tour, there were a few clouds, but we were able to see many stars that we usually can't see, and we received thorough explanations that everyone enjoyed. The meeting place was easy to find with a clear map, so we had no trouble getting there. Right after returning from Ishigaki Island, I downloaded a constellation app on my smartphone and climbed a nearby mountain to observe the stars we had learned about during the tour again. The height at which they were visible was different due to the change in latitude. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island, I will definitely sign up for the tour again.

当日は少し雲がありましたが、普段では見られないくらいの多くの星が見られしかも丁寧な解説を頂き皆楽しめました。集合場所もわかりやすい地図で迷うことなく行けました。石垣島から戻ってすぐにスマホの星座アプリを入れて実家近くの山に登り、ツアーで説明いただいた星を再度観察しました。緯度が違うので見える高さが違いましたが。次回、石垣島を訪れた際は必ず参加申し込みします。

I had an amazing time on the one-day tour! In the morning, I enjoyed over two hours of marine sports. It seems that the sports available vary depending on the weather, but I probably tried around 8 or 9 different activities in those two hours. I think it's much more cost-effective than just playing on the beach, so I highly recommend it!

I started shouting my heart out from 9 AM to relieve stress. The staff really went all out when I asked for something intense, to the point where I felt like my arms were going to fall off! In the afternoon, we went to Hamajima for snorkeling. When I asked the staff to take pictures, they captured some amazing shots that felt like a pre-wedding photoshoot, creating wonderful memories!

You can even become a mermaid, so definitely ask the staff about that! Although we weren't blessed with great weather, we went back around Ishigaki Island for snorkeling, and it was still incredibly beautiful. The tour allowed for a leisurely snorkeling experience with explanations, and I had a lot of great conversations with the staff and fellow participants. It was truly a fantastic one-day tour!

Since it can be quite physically demanding, I recommend booking it early in your trip! I was definitely sore the next day!

1日ツアーで全力で楽しみました！
午前中はマリンスポーツ2時間ちょい満喫しました。
天候によって遊べるスポーツが異なるようですが、2時間でおそらく8.9個ぐらいは乗りました。
ビーチで遊ぶより、かなりコスパがいいと思うのでとてもオススメです！
朝の9時からめちゃめちゃ叫んでストレス発散。笑
激しめをお願いしたら腕がちぎれそうになる程全力で楽しませてくれるスタッフさんです！
午後からは浜島とシュノーケリング
浜島では、スタッフさんに写真を撮って欲しいとお願いしたら、結婚式の前撮りのようなレベルでめちゃめちゃ良い感じに撮ってくれてとてもいい思い出になりました！
マーメイドにもなれちゃいますので、是非スタッフさんにお願いしてみてください！笑
天気に恵まれなかったので、シュノーケリングは石垣島の周りまで戻って、となりましたが、それでもほんまに綺麗ですごかったです。
解説付きで、自由度も高めのゆっくりシュノーケリングさせていただけるツアーでした。
スタッフの皆さんともいっぱいお話しさせていただけて、一緒になった方々とも仲良くなれて、とてもよい1日ツアーでした！

体力はかなり消耗するので、旅の序盤に予約することをお勧めします！笑
次の日はかなりの筋肉痛です。笑

The waves were high and the ferry was really rocky because it was right after the typhoon! All three islands were great! I especially loved the relaxed atmosphere of Taketomi Island. It's a shame that if the weather had been better, I could have taken even more beautiful photos...

台風直後だったので波が高くてフェリーの揺れがすごかった！！
3島は全てよかったです！！特に竹富島はのんびりした空気がすごく好きです。お天気がよければもっと、素敵な写真がとれたのに残念でした、、、

I was guided with great attention to safety and environmental considerations. Even for someone like me who is not good at exercise, I managed to get through it (^_^;) I not only had photos of people taken but also captured beautiful scenery and wildlife, which became wonderful memories. By the way, my favorite photo is not of a sea turtle or a clownfish, but of a mantis shrimp... for some reason, I really liked it (laughs). Thank you very much m(_ _)m

安全面と環境面にとても気を配ってガイドして頂きました。
運動が超苦手な私でもなんとかなりました(^_^;)
人物の写真だけでなく、景色や生き物の写真を撮って頂きいい思い出になりました。ちなみにお気に入りの写真は、ウミガメでもカクレクマノミでもなくシャコです…なぜかとても気に入りました(笑)
どうもありがとうございましたm(_ _)m

On the day I arrived in Ishigaki Island, I participated in the water buffalo cart course. The water buffalo cart ride was leisurely and enjoyable. Since I had time until the return boat, I rode a bicycle to the beach. It was hot, but the beach was very beautiful, and I was able to have the best time.

石垣島到着日に、水牛車コースで参加しました。水牛車はのんびりと楽しかったです。帰りの船まで時間があったので、自転車でビーチへ。暑かったけど、とてもキレイで最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

I was able to spend a meaningful time. I was completely satisfied with the smiles, brightness, way of speaking, and hospitality of the staff!

The car was an 8-seater, and the front passenger seat was empty. The rest were filled, so it was a bit cramped inside. However, all the participants and staff were wearing masks, and we were able to open the windows for ventilation!

What made me very happy was that they took a lot of photos with an underwater camera. I received all those photos via LINE! Since I don’t have an underwater camera, I was able to get photos that we couldn't take ourselves. I thought there would only be one photo included in the tour (laughs), but I received 170 photos! Considering the tour price, I think it's quite reasonable. They took us to various places, we got to experience different activities, met fish, and had photos taken! It was truly all-inclusive!

The level of this tour is really, no exaggeration, top-notch!

有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。係の方の笑顔や明るさ、話し方、おもてなし…全て大満足です‼︎

車は8人乗りで、助手席は空き。
他は埋まっていたので、車内は密でした。ですが、他の参加者や係の方みなさんマスクを着用していましたし、また、窓を開けることができたので換気はOK‼︎

私がとても嬉しかったのは、水中カメラでたくさん写真を撮ってくれたことです＾＾
その写真を全てLINEでいただけました‼︎
水中カメラを持っていないので、自分たちでは撮影できない写真をゲットすることができました。
ツアーに含まれている写真撮影が1枚だけかな⁇と勝手に思っていました（笑）170枚の写真をいただけました‼︎ツアー料金を考えるとお手頃だと思います。色々な場所に連れて行ってくれて、体験もできて、お魚にも会えて、写真も撮れる‼︎至れり尽くせりです‼︎

このツアーのレベルは本当に、お世辞なしで
最高級‼︎です＾＾

Due to the impact of COVID-19, there was only one other group besides us. Furthermore, during the latter part of the activities at Kabira Bay, we had our guide, Diego, all to ourselves.

In a word, it was "the ultimate relaxation." It felt like a world completely separate from our daily lives. While experiencing the extraordinary beauty of Ishigaki Island's nature, Diego provided a fun and educational guiding experience. The timing for landing on the phantom island was perfect.

It's common to get so focused on taking photos that you can't fully enjoy the activities, but Diego took plenty of pictures for us, allowing us to enjoy the tour without any worries. If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to request his services once more.

Thank you, Diego!

コロナの影響で自分達の他には1組しかいませんでした。更に後半の川平湾のアクティビティではガイド(ジエゴ)さん貸切りでした。
一言で言えば「最高の癒し」
日常の生活からかけ離れた世界。非日常である石垣島の自然の美しさを感じながら、ジエゴさんの楽しく、勉強になるガイド。幻の島に上陸するタイミングはバッチリでした。写真を撮る事に専念してしまってアクティビティをしっかりと楽しめない事があるあるですが、写真もたっぷり撮って頂き、何も心配無くしっかりとツアーを楽しめました。また石垣島に行く機会があれば、またお願いしたいと思います。
ジエゴさんありがとうございました。

I experienced SUP for the first time, and the instructor Diego's explanations were very thorough, allowing me to enjoy it to the fullest. It became a wonderful memory.

初めてSUPを体験しましたが、インストラクターのジエゴさんの説明はとても丁寧で目一杯楽しむことができました。すごく素敵な思い出になりました。

I have participated in countless tours so far, but among similar tours, this one provided the highest level of satisfaction. You absolutely must join!

今まで数えきれないほどのツアーに参加してきましたが、似たようなツアーがある中、今回のツアーは最高レベルの満足感でした。絶対に参加すべし！

I rented a car, so I decided to meet at the location. Although I was given clear instructions on where to meet, the unfamiliar roads were dark and difficult to navigate, and I got a bit lost. Once I arrived, it was just a short walk to the star viewing area, and we each took a seat in our preferred spot where tea and telescopes were provided.

After that, we looked through the telescopes while listening to explanations about each star. This is the flow of the tour. The day I participated was clear, but there was a bit of moonlight and a lot of clouds, so it felt like we were seeing stars through gaps in the clouds, which wasn't ideal for stargazing. At that time of year, the Milky Way was barely visible, but I was glad to see the night sky for the first time and hear about the names and explanations of the stars. I haven't seen a tour that allows for cancellations based on the weather and moonlight, so I highly recommend this one.

レンタカーを借りていたので、現地集合にしました。
集合場所はきちんと教えていただいていたのですが、知らない道と道路が真っ暗で分かりにくく少し迷いました。到着すると星を見る場所までほんの少し歩き、各自好きな場所の椅子に座るとお茶と望遠鏡が配られます。
その後、一つ一つの星の説明を聞きながら望遠鏡で見ます。これがこのツアーの流れです。私が参加した日は晴れていましたが、少し月明かりがあり、雲が多くて雲の切れ目から星を見る感じだったので絶好の星空ではありませんでした。時期的に天の川が薄っすらギリギリ見える程度でしたが、初めて見る星空や星の名前や星の説明を聞けて良かったです。当日の天候や月明かりを調べてキャンセルもできるツアーは見たことないのでお勧めです。

I had the opportunity to experience SUP on a girls' trip. The guide was friendly and provided advice on paddling from start to finish, as well as sharing breathtaking viewpoints of Ishigaki Island and the surrounding islands. This made the rest of my stay even more enjoyable, and I had a great time!

女子旅でSUPを体験させてもらいました。
ガイドの方が気さくで、最初から最後まで漕ぎ方のアドバイスから石垣島、離島の絶景ポイントなども教えてくださったので、残りの滞在もより楽しみになり、良い時間を過ごすことができました！

The weather in Ishigaki Island changes rapidly, so I made a reservation on the day of. Until just before, it was pouring rain, and I was half giving up while in the car heading to the meeting point. However, after that, the rain stopped, and I was able to see some stars being blown by the wind.

There were many stars visible to the naked eye, but the Milky Way was clearly visible through the binoculars we borrowed, and my whole family was moved by it. Although there were still some clouds left from the rain just before, we were captivated by the night sky while receiving explanations about the stars visible through the gaps! My second son, who is in the second grade, was excitedly searching for stars, even though the explanations about the night sky were a bit difficult for him.

The way the night sky looks differs due to latitude, and the explanations were easy to understand. Also, despite the rain just before, the chairs and the borrowed binoculars were not wet, making it a wonderful and memorable experience in Ishigaki Island.

石垣島の天気はコロコロ変わるので、当日に申し込みをしました。
直前まではどしゃ降りで、車で向かった集合場所の車内で半ば諦めていましたが、、その後、あのどしゃ降りの雨は何だったのか、、という位、雨は上がり風に吹かれて星もそれなりに見えることが出来ました。
肉眼で見える星空もたくさんありましたが、天の川は貸してくれた双眼鏡でハッキリと見え、家族全員で感動しました。
当日は直前の雨の影響で、雲が残っていたものの、隙間から見える星を解説してもらいながら、星空に魅力されました！
小学2年生の次男は、少し難しいだろう星空の解説にも関わらず、星を一生懸命探しながら興奮していました。
緯度の違いで普段見える星空の見えかたも違い、説明も分かりやすかったです。また、直前の雨でも椅子や借りた双眼鏡などは濡れていることもなく、素敵な石垣島の思い出深い経験になりました。

This was the first activity after arriving in Ishigaki Island. I participated with my university friends. Initially, I was worried it might not be very exciting since we would just be riding cows, but once we got on, the guide played the sanshin and sang, and explained the island's attractions, making it a very enjoyable experience.

石垣島に来て最初のアクティヴィティでした。大学の友達と一緒に参加しました。当初は牛に乗るだけだからあまり盛り上がらないのかもと心配でしたが、乗ってみると添乗員さんが三線を引いて歌を歌ってくださったり、島の名所を説明してくださったり大変楽しい体験になりました。

I participated in snorkeling at Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave. The natural beauty was so stunning that I wanted to come back again and again. Personally, I found the underwater snorkeling in front of the Blue Cave to be particularly impressive. It was great that they had a good range of sizes for rental equipment. I really appreciated the guide's explanations and the photo opportunities. They were very accommodating with schedule changes and pickup locations, which was a big help. Regarding infection control measures, while some things in the vehicle are unavoidable, overall, I thought it was well managed.

川平湾supと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加させていただきました。とにかく自然が何度でも来たくなるような綺麗さでした。個人的には青の洞窟前の海中シュノーケリングが印象的でした。貸し出し用品なかなり大きいサイズもありよかったです。ガイドさんの説明や写真撮影も大変ありがたかったです。日程変更や送迎場所の融通も利かせていただき大変助かりました。感染対策については、車内はある程度仕方ありませんが基本的によかったと思います。

Fortunately, the weather was great, and the stars were very beautiful, but there were quite a few moths flying around, and as someone who is not good with insects, I couldn't concentrate much on the stars.

幸運にも天気に恵まれて、星はとてもきれいに見えたのですが、蛾などがけっこう飛びかっていて、虫がとても苦手な私は、あまり星に集中できませんでした。

I had a great time. The guide worked really hard and went quite a bit over the scheduled time... (laughs)

とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんが頑張り過ぎて、予定の時間をだいぶオーバーしちゃいましたが。。（笑）

We participated as a family of three.
The schedule was originally in the afternoon, but due to the typhoon, it was suddenly changed to the morning.
We were a bit far from our accommodation and arrived 10 minutes late. Thank you to everyone who waited.
The location was Kabira Bay, which was a very beautiful place.
Our family quickly grasped the tips for stand-up paddleboarding and were able to stand on the board.
About halfway through, my son's stamina reached its limit, and it really does require physical strength.
We took many photos, and it became a wonderful memory for our family.
Thank you very much.

家族3人で参加しました。
予定は午後だったが台風の影響で急遽午前中に変更しました。
宿泊地から少し距離があって集合時間より10分遅れました。待てた皆さんに感謝します。
場所は川平湾で非常に綺麗な場所でした。
家族3人すぐにsupのコツをつかんでボードに立つことが出来ました。
半分の距離ぐらいで息子の体力が限界で、やはり体力が求められます。
何枚の写真を撮ってもらって、家族にとって非常にいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

On the cruise around Iriomote Island, the female captain was skilled in both guiding and maneuvering the boat, providing detailed explanations about the mangroves that were very easy to understand. The bus driver also gave us a tour of the island, which allowed us to hear more about Iriomote than we had expected. We were fortunate to see the adorable sight of a mother water buffalo and her newborn calf, as it coincided with the calving season. The water buffalo pulling the cart was very gentle and smart, making us feel a bit guilty for having it carry our weight. Although it was a short time, we enjoyed a relaxing experience with the sound of the sanshin and the boatman's singing. If I had to say something, there were many explanations about the Iriomote wildcat, so I wished I could have seen a specimen or photos somewhere.

In the afternoon on Taketomi Island, we initially planned to only rent bicycles and not ride the water buffalo cart. However, as soon as we arrived at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center, a female employee quickly asked, "What about the water buffalo? Aren't you riding? Bicycles? Fill this out!" I was confused about where to write what, and as I hesitated, she let out a big sigh and left the area, glaring at us from a distance. We were left unattended, but later, another employee helped us, and we were able to rent bicycles. However, the childish behavior we encountered right after arriving on Taketomi Island ruined the excitement we had been looking forward to. It was frustrating to see an employee who seemed to be annoyed when tourists didn't follow the routine they expected. To be frank, I believe that the tourism and hospitality industry is not suited for such individuals. If they want to work at their own pace, they should choose a desk job at home. In hindsight, I even wish I had scolded her on the spot for her rude behavior. The first employee at the Taketomi Island Tourist Center would likely realize this was about her if she saw it.

While the response from the other employees was good, it was disappointing that just one person left a negative impression. Of course, Taketomi Island itself was a wonderful place, so when I visit again, I hope to enjoy my trip without relying on the Taketomi Island Tourist Center.

西表島のクルーズでは女性の船長さんでガイドも操縦も上手、マングローブを詳しく説明してくれてとても分かりやすかった。送迎バスのドライバーさんも島内の案内をしてくれるので思っていた以上に西表島の話しを聞くことができて良かったと思う。由布島の水牛もちょうど子牛が生まれた時期と重なり可愛らしい親子の姿を見せてもらうことも出来ました。水牛車を引く水牛はとても大人しくお利口さんで重たい私達を運んでもらうのが申し訳なくなるほど。短い時間でしたが三線と船頭さん？の歌声でのんびりした時間を楽しむことが出来ました。しいて言えば西表やまねこの説明が沢山あったのでどこかで剥製や写真などでも見てみたかった。

午後の竹富島では水牛車には乗らずレンタサイクルのみの予定でしたが、到着後竹富島観光センターに着くなり女性の従業員が水牛は？乗らないの？自転車？これに記入して！と矢次早に言われどこに何を書いて良いのか分からずに戸惑っていると「はぁーっ」と大きなため息をつかれその場を離れていき離れたところからからこちらの様子を伺いを睨みつける始末。放置された私達でしたがその後他の従業員さんが対応して下さり無事に自転車を借りることができたのですが、竹富島到着後すぐにこのような子供じみた対応をされ楽しみにしていた気分は台無しにされました。暑い中毎日同じルーティン作業で観光客が思った通りに動かないと面倒になり不貞腐れる従業員。はっきり言わせてもらいますが観光業、接客業は向いていない。自分のペースで仕事をしたいのならデスクと向き合う在宅の仕事を選んだら？と言いたい。というか今となればその場で叱り飛ばしてやれば良かったとさえ思うほど腹の立つ対応だった。竹富島観光センターの最初に担当した従業員がこれを見たら自分の事だと察しが着くでしょう。
他の従業員さんの対応は良かっただけにたったその1人のせいで残念な思いが残ってしまった。
もちろん竹富島自体はとても素敵な所でしたので次回訪れる時は竹富島観光センターにはお世話にならず楽しめる旅にしたいと思います。

The wind was strong, but it was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for a tour! I chose the glass-bottom boat and bus sightseeing plan on Taketomi Island, and the bus driver was really great—he took photos for us, showed us how to find star sand, and told us about power spots. I was torn between this plan and cycling when I made the reservation, but choosing this plan was absolutely the right decision! I'm sure if I had chosen cycling, I would have been drenched in sweat (laughs). The bus was cool and perfect! We saw two families of wild boars in the mangroves, and the water buffalo was fun too. I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

風が強かったけど晴天でツアー日和でした！
竹富島ではグラスボードとバス観光プランを選択したのですが、バスの運転手さんが写真を撮ってくれたり、星の砂の見つけ方や、パワースポットを教えてくれたりとすごく良い対応をしてくださったので、予約時にサイクリングと悩みましたがこちらのプランにして大大大正解でした！
きっとサイクリングを選択していたら汗だくでやばかったはず（笑）バス、涼しくて最高！
マングローブでは猪の親子が２組も見れたし、水牛も楽しいし、とても素敵な時間を過ごす事が出来ました。ありがとうございました！
