All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I wanted to see the mangroves and ride a water buffalo, so it was really great! I chose a plan that allowed me to ride both in the water and on land! I had a relaxing time and felt rejuvenated!

マングローブも見たかったし、水牛にも乗りたかったので、とても良かったです！水の中と陸の二回乗るプランにしました！のんび〜りした時間で癒されました！

I went at the end of February. It was cold and the weather was a bit rough, but I had a great time.

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi, which was nice.

Overall, it was a good tour, but if I had to mention something, it was a bit confusing when we arrived at Iriomote Island because there were other tour groups at the same time, and it was hard to tell which boat to get on.

On Taketomi Island, I did some cycling. It was only for an hour, but I was able to go to various places, and the scenery was great! I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

２月の終わりに行きました。寒くて天候もあるかったんですが
すごく楽しかったです。
西表･由布･竹富と効率よく回れてよかったです。

おおむねいツアーでしたが、あえて言うとしたら、西表島についた時に、同時間に他の観光ツアーの団体がいて、どこの船に乗ればいいかちょっとわかりずらかったことかな。

竹富島ではサイクリングやりました。１時間だけですが、いろんなところに行けて、景色もＧＯＯＤ！！
また機会があったら参加したいです。

I was looking for a tour that my mother, who is in her late 60s, could enjoy without having to walk too much. Although we could only stay one night in Ishigaki Island, I wanted to visit other nearby islands as well. I particularly wanted to go to Taketomi Island and ride the water buffalo cart, and I was pleased that there was enough time to enjoy both the water buffalo cart ride and the glass-bottom boat. The smooth transfers also helped us make the most of our limited time for sightseeing. It seemed like my mother enjoyed it too.

６０代後半の母を連れての旅行だったので、あまり歩かなくても楽しめるツアーを探していました。また石垣島へは１泊しか出来なかったですが他の離島にも行きたいと思っていました。
特に竹富島へ行って水牛車には乗りたいと思っていましたが、水牛車に乗車する時間もグラスボード等も十分楽しむことが出来るだけの時間が確保されていました。乗り継ぎがスムーズだったことも時間がない中、効率よく観光するには良かったと思います。母も楽しんでいたようです。

I booked a plan that includes a water buffalo cart, considering the possibility of rain. I decided on this because there was a discount a few days prior, and they also offered to store our luggage for free. On the day of the visit, I checked in my luggage at the counter, received my ticket, and was given a paper with the instructions. It was a cloudy day with light rain, but once we arrived at Taketomi Island, the rain stopped. After a 30-minute tour on the water buffalo cart, we rented electric bicycles and explored the island for about an hour and a half. At the coast, we were able to see sea cucumbers, moray eels, and small fish from the surface of the water. It was a very beautiful island. I definitely want to go again! ♪

雨の場合も考えて水牛車付きのプランを予約しました。数日前だと割引きもあり、無料で荷物も預かってくれるというので決めました。当日は、窓口で荷物を預けチケットを貰い、手順を書いた紙を貰いました。その日は曇り空で小雨もパラついていましたが、竹富島に着くと雨は止んだので水牛車の３０分の観光の後に電動自転車を借りて１時間半余り島を回りました。海岸ではナマコ、エラブウナギ、小魚など水面から見ることができました。とても綺麗な島でした。また是非、行きたいです♪

Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky, I couldn't see the blue of the southern sea and sky. However, I was able to fully enjoy the wonders of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands.

Among them, the stories from the guides on the boat, bus, and water buffalo were very charming. Their gentle way of speaking, with phrases like "grandma" and "grandpa," and their easy-to-understand explanations made it enjoyable.

What remains in my heart are the boats cutting through the wind over the forests and rivers, the sounds of the sanshin and singing, the Okinawan lunch, the gelato we ate on the beach, and picking up star sand at Kaiji Beach—there are so many memories.

I was especially excited to see the golden chrysalis (Papilio garamas) at the butterfly garden on Yufu Island.

While cycling around Taketomi Island, we explored the beaches and townscapes, and everywhere we went, we could feel the islanders' cherished way of life and culture that they have preserved.

If I ever have time again, I would love to participate slowly once more.

　残念だったのは曇り空のため、南の海と空の青さを見ることはできませんでした。しかし、西表・由布・竹富島の素晴らしさを満喫することができました。

中でも、ボートやバス、水牛のガイドさんたちのお話がとってもチャーミングです。「おばあ」「おじい」など、優しい響きの語り口や分かりやすい説明で楽しかったです。

心に残るのは、林と川の上を風を切って走るボートや、三線の音色や歌声、沖縄料理のランチ、浜辺で食べたジェラート、カイジ浜で星の砂を拾ったことなど、いっぱいいっぱいあります。

特に由布島の蝶園でみた黄金のサナギ（オオゴマダラ）には大興奮しました。

私たちは竹富島ではサイクリングをしながらビーチや街並みを見て回りましたが、どこに行っても島人たちが大切に守ってきた島の生活や文化を感じることができました。

いつか時間が出来たら、またゆっくり参加させて頂きたいと思います。

I brought customers from the UK on a whirlwind tour to Ishigaki, and as a highlight, we participated in a tour of Taketomi Island. They were very pleased, and it became a wonderful memory. I especially liked that we could choose the boat according to our convenience.

イギリスからのお客様を連れて弾丸ツアーに石垣に来ました、そのハイライトとして
竹富島のツアーに参加しました、とても喜んでもらいいい思い出となりました。
自分の都合で船を選べるところが特に良かった。

I was able to smoothly explore a dream world that is completely different from my everyday life. The mangrove cruise was very cold, but everything was beautiful, from the water buffalo cart to the scenery of Yufu Island and the charming streets of Taketomi Island. The bus driver during the transfers was also very entertaining, and I was able to see a crested serpent eagle. For those who want to take their time to see each attraction, it might feel a bit rushed, but I think it's a tour that is packed with experiences that don't feel short at all.

自分が普段生活しているところと全く違った 夢の世界を、段取りよく廻らせてもらうことができました。
マングローブクルーズは非常に寒かったんですが、水牛車といい、由布島の景色といい、竹富島の可愛らしい街並みといい、全てが美しかったです。
途中移動のバスの運転手さんもとても面白かったですし、カンムリワシも見ることができました。
それぞれをゆっくり見たい人には物足りないかもしれませんが、短時間と思えないほど 満載のツアーだと思います。

It is completely commercialized, and while the cows, which were imported from Taiwan, are carefully raised and trained for tourism, I found the driver of the cow shed who honestly explained everything to be likable. Hearing about how they work together as companions while sharing meals and living together gave me a different feeling when I got off the ride.

完全に観光化されたものであり、台湾から輸入した牛を大切に育て観光用に教育したものではあるが、返って正直に説明してくださる牛舎車の運転手に好感が持て、寝食一緒に仲間として働いているという話を乗車中に聞いて下車するときには違う感情で見れた。

On the day of our visit, although it was sunny, there were quite a few clouds until sunset, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars. However, the clouds cleared up enough for us to finally look through the telescope we had been longing for. That day, at "Haimurubushi," we were able to see Betelgeuse, Sirius, the Trapezium, and Jupiter. (From the observatory, we could also faintly see Canopus.) The starry sky tour guide at the observatory was exceptional. After showing us three stars that were already rising through the telescope, she quickly showed us "4D2U" while we waited for Jupiter to rise. She used the short time very effectively to explain the arrangement of the stars and the formation of galaxies. 4D2U is a 3D celestial map that you view with special glasses, and the guide skillfully manipulated the 3D images, rotating and zooming in on the stars while explaining them. Her storytelling was excellent, and the 3D celestial map made the structure of the galaxy and the vastness of the star world very clear, which was incredibly interesting beyond my imagination. Even if the weather had been bad and we couldn't see the stars, I think we would have been quite satisfied with just the 4D2U experience at Haimurubushi, as the star guide's explanations were clear and easy to understand. The telescope at "Haimurubushi" was large and impressive, and just being inside the dome was quite moving. We were fortunate with the weather and were able to look through the telescope, witnessing the moment when the large telescope opened its mirror, slowly changing angles with mechanical sounds, and the romantic moment when the dome ceiling opened. Observing the bright light of the stars through the telescope made me feel a sense of excitement, as if I had returned to my childhood. Although it wasn't perfectly clear that day and the clouds kept moving, I was very grateful that the star guides adapted the tour content based on the conditions of the sky. As someone from Honshu, I was unaware of the seasonal changes between dry and rainy seasons, but I learned that Ishigaki Island experiences the rainy season until around March. According to the taxi driver, January and February often have cloudy and rainy weather, making it quite rare to see a beautiful starry sky. Conversely, during the dry season in summer, there are fewer clouds and rain, so the chances of seeing the stars are much higher. We also thought it would be nice to come back in the summer. Lastly, outside of the activities, I wanted to see the Southern Cross, which the star guide had introduced, so after the tour, I went out to an open area to look for it at midnight. Unfortunately, the low part of the sky was hazy, and I couldn't find it. I definitely want to come back to Ishigaki Island to see the Southern Cross.

当日、晴れてはいるものの日暮れまでやや雲が多く、星が観られるかなー、と心配をしていましたが、なんとか雲もそこそこ晴れ念願だった天体望遠鏡を覗かせてもらうことが出来ました。この日『はいむるぶし』で見せていただけた星はベテルギウス、シリウス、トラペジウムと木星でした。(天文台からうっっすらとカノープスも見えました。)天文台の星空ツアーガイドのお姉さんの手腕が素晴らしく、この日は最初にすでに昇っている星を３つ天体望遠鏡で見せて下さったあと、木星が昇るのを待つ間に『少し駆け足で』4D2Uを見せて下さったのですが、短い時間をすごく効果的に使って星の配置や銀河の成り立ちを説明して下さいました。4D2Uというのは特殊なメガネをかけて鑑賞する3D天体図のことで、星空ガイドのお姉さんが立体映像を自在に引いたり寄せたり回転させたりしながら星々の説明をして下さいました。お話しが上手なのと天体図が立体的に飛び出して見えることで銀河の構造や星の世界の果てしなさがとてもよくわかり、想像を超えて面白かったです。もし運悪く天気が悪くて星を見ることが出来なくても、4D2Uとはいむるぶし見学だけでもかなり満足出来たのではないかと思ったほど星空ガイドさんの説明は上手でわかりやすかったですし、天体望遠鏡『はいむるぶし』は大きくてかっこよくて、ドームの中に入れただけでもかなりの感動がありました。今回は天気に恵まれ天体望遠鏡を覗かせていただけたので、大きな望遠鏡が反射鏡を開く様子や機械音をたててゆっくりと角度を変える様子、そして天井のドームが開くロマンあふれる瞬間を見ることが出来ました。天体望遠鏡を覗いてハッキリと大きく見える星の光を観察した時には子供の頃に戻ったようなワクワクを感じましたよ。この日は快晴というわけではなく、雲が動き続けていたので、星空ガイドのみなさんが空の様子を見ながら臨機応変にツアーの内容を変えて対応して下さったこともとても有り難かったです。本州の人間である自分には乾季雨季の感覚が無く盲点でしたが、石垣島は3月頃まで雨季なのだそうです。タクシーの運転手さんによると、1月2月は曇天雨天がとても多く星空が綺麗に見えることはかなり少ないそうです。逆に、乾季である夏は雨や雲が少なく、高い確率で星空を見ることが出来るのではないでしょうか。私達も今度は夏にまた来たいなあと思いました。最後にアクティビティ外の話しですが、星空ガイドさんが紹介されていた南十字星を見たくてツアー終了後の深夜 南中時刻に合わせて星の見える開けた場所まで出かけましたが、この日は空の低い位置は霞がかかっていてとうとう見つけることが出来ませんでした。南十字星を見るためにも、また石垣島に来たいと思います。

Since we stayed near the port, we took a stroll to the meeting place.

We greeted the statue of Gushiken in the port. The sea was a beautiful blue and crystal clear, allowing us to see the bottom.

Off to Taketomi! We arrived in about 30 minutes.
From the port of Taketomi, we took a bus.
First up was the water buffalo cart, gently swaying while enjoying the pleasant background music of the sanshin. The guide's stories were also very informative.
Next, we went cycling, visiting various sightseeing spots on the island and stopping by cafes along the way.
Everyone seemed to be heading back to Ishigaki Island.

I think it's a great recommendation for those visiting Taketomi for the first time!

I participated alone, but the tour was structured in a way that allowed me to move to each boarding point with my own tickets for the boat, water buffalo, and bus, so I didn't have to worry too much about others. Each stop had a well-defined schedule, allowing for an efficient island tour! I chose the rental bicycle plan on Taketomi Island, but it was such a beautiful place that I decided to forgo the rental bicycle (there's no refund for the rental) and walked almost all the way around Taketomi Island. Each island had its own personality, and it was a lot of fun!

一人参加でしたが、ツアーは船、水牛、バス等のチケットを持って各乗り場へ自分で移動する形式でしたので他の方にあまり気を使わず参加することができました。
各滞在場所も時間がきちんと確保されて降り効率よく島巡りをすることができました！
竹富島はレンタルサイクルのプランを選択したのですが、あまりにも素敵な場所でしたので、レンタルサイクルは辞め(レンタルサイクル分の返金はありません)徒歩で竹富島をほぼ一周しました。
どの島も個性があり大変楽しかったです！

We participated with two adults and three children. I was worried about the frequent transfers, but all the connections were arranged with almost no waiting time, and I didn't feel any stress or fatigue at all.

The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was particularly popular with the kids. For the adults, it was impressive to explore the mangroves by boat on Iriomote Island.

We also chose the water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island, but if you're not worried about physical stamina, walking around might allow you to see the town more thoroughly. When we took the water buffalo cart, there was only about a 10-minute gap before the bus back to the port, so we couldn't walk around and see the town of Taketomi. I heard that walking around the village takes about 15-20 minutes.

Overall, it was a great tour that allowed us to cover the key points of the surrounding islands from Ishigaki Island in a limited time.

大人２人、子供３人で参加しました。移動が多いので心配でしたが、全ての乗換えがほぼ待ち時間無しでアレンジされており、全くストレスや疲れを感じませんでした。
特に、由布島へ行く水牛車が子供たちには好評でした。大人には、西表島でマングローブを船で見て回れたのが感動しました。
竹富島でも水牛車観光を選んだのですが、体力面で心配がなければ、歩いて回った方が町並みをしっかり見られていいかも。水牛車に乗って観光すると、帰りの港までのバスとの間隔が10分くらいしかなく、竹富島の町並みを歩いて見ることができませんでした。歩いても集落を一周15-20分くらいとのことでしたので。
全体として、限られた時間で石垣島を起点に離島をポイントをおさえて回れて、とてもいいツアーでした。

I was a bit anxious before participating because I thought I wouldn't have the same guide throughout, but it turned out to be no problem at all, and I had a lot of fun. The only thing that concerned me was that we had to wait in line to cross to Yufuin Island because it coincided with a group of tourists. I was surprised to see so many water buffalo there. There was a tea house along the coast of Yufuin Island, and their gelato was delicious. I would love to visit Taketomi Island again.

ずっと同じガイドが同行するわけじゃないので、参加前は若干不安だったけど、全然問題なく、盛り沢山で楽しめた。
唯一気になったのは団体客と時間が被ったので、由布島に渡る時の順番待ちが気になったことくらい。あんなにいっぱい水牛がいるとは思わなかったのでビックリした。由布島の海沿いに茶屋があり、そこのジェラードが美味しかったです。
竹富島ももう一回行ってみたい。

You can leisurely explore by ox cart.

I found it interesting to hear about the relationships of the cows and the village. Since it's an island where time flows slowly, the speed of the ox cart feels just right.

It's a small island, so I was able to visit Kondoi Beach, Kaiji Beach, and the West Pier as well.

牛車でのんびり回れます。

牛の交友関係や集落の説明など、面白く聞けました。
時間がゆったり流れる島なので、牛車のスピードがちょうど合う感じ

小さな島なので、コンドイ浜やカイジ浜、西桟橋も回れました。

This time, I went on a 3-night, 4-day island-hopping trip in Okinawa. I was really looking forward to the island tour, but unfortunately, the weather was mostly rainy or drizzly from the first day until the end, which greatly disappointed my expectations. We also had to cancel the glass-bottom boat tour. The meals at the hotel were also not great. I've heard that the weather in Okinawa is good in the fall, so I would like to try visiting again around that time.

今回は３泊4日で沖縄の離島めぐりに行ってきました。
とても楽しみに待ってた離島めぐりでした‥が1日目から帰りまでのほとんど天候は雨、小雨　と期待は大きく裏切られた。グラスボートもキャンセルせざるを得ませんでした。ホテルの食事内容も今一。沖縄は秋が天候が良いと言う事ですので次回は秋頃にもう一度行ってみたいと思います。

I used the water buffalo cart and rental bicycle set. I was worried about the weather, but despite the cloudy skies, it didn't rain. When I arrived at Taketomi Island by ferry, I was greeted by a bus. Since it was the first morning on a weekday, I felt a bit guilty being the only one.

Pulled by the water buffalo, we leisurely traveled for about 30 minutes, enjoying the guide's explanations and songs. I was a bit anxious about the rental bicycle not having a lock, but I was reassured that "there are no police or thieves," and if there were any punctures or theft, they would bring a replacement, which is a service you don't find elsewhere, so I felt secure.

It was unfortunate that the glass-bottom boat I wanted to enjoy was canceled due to strong winds. Booking the glass-bottom boat set might carry a bit of risk.

水牛車とレンタサイクルのセットを利用しました。
天気が心配でしたが曇天ながらも雨には降られず、フェリーで竹富島に着いたところでバスのお出迎え、平日の朝一番だったので自分一人で申し訳なかったです。
水牛に引かれてのんびりと30分弱ですか、ガイドの方の説明や唄などで楽しませてもらいました。
レンタサイクルは鍵がないのがちょっと不安でしたが「警察署も泥棒もいない」とのことで、パンクや盗難があった場合は連絡をすれば代わりを持ってきてくれる、なんてサービスは他にはありませんので安心できます。
風が強くてセット以外ですがグラスボートを楽しもうとしたのが欠航だったのが残念、グラスボートのセットを予約するのはちょっとリスクがあるかもしれません。

We went as a family starting from February 15. We were able to sit at the very front of the water buffalo cart, listened to the sanshin, and the weather was great, so it was the best experience. The water buffalo cart, Upper-kun, was big... good job! I was surprised at how many tourists there were even on a weekday. It's February, after all...

2/15から家族で行きました。水牛車の一番前に座れて三線も聞けてお天気もよかったし最高でした。水牛車アッパー君大きかった・・・おつかれさま　平日でも観光めっちゃ多くてびっくりでした。2月やのに...

You can efficiently enjoy island hopping.
At the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, you can pick up tickets for the boat and meals before departing on your own.
First, take a comfortable, spacious high-speed boat for 40 minutes, followed by a cruise on the Nakama River in Iriomote Island, and then visit Yubu Island by water buffalo, where you can enjoy a meal.
The meal was an Okinawan cuisine bento, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the singing of the sea's voice while on the water buffalo.

離島めぐりを効率よく楽しめます。
石垣島の離島ターミナルで船や食事などの切符を受け取って各自で出発。
最初は新しくて広い快適な高速船で40分、西表島の仲間川クルーズ、水牛で由布島、食事。
食事は沖縄料理のお弁当で、水牛では海の声歌付きで雰囲気ありました。

When I specified a leisurely time in the morning, the hotel came to pick me up right on schedule. The water buffalo cart tour was enjoyable thanks to the guide's excellent explanations. I was also free to choose my return time, so I explored the island by rental bicycle and had lunch. After that, they took me to Taketomi Port in time for my boat. Once I arrived at Ishigaki Port, I strolled around Ishigaki City for about an hour and was able to take the next bus back to the hotel. I was able to enjoy free time at various locations and had a great experience with a tour that wasn't rigidly structured.

朝ゆっくりの時間を指定すると、ホテルに定刻通りに迎えに来てくれた。
水牛車の観光はガイドさんの説明が良く楽しめた。
帰りの時間も自由に選べたので、レンタル自転車で島内巡りをし、昼食をとった。
その後、船の時間に合わせ竹富港まで送ってくれた。
石垣港に着いた後、１時間ほど石垣市街地を散歩し、次のバスでホテルに送ってもらえた。各所で自由な時間をとることができ、お仕着せでないツアーを楽しむことができた。

For our half-day visit to Taketomi Island, we didn't feel any inconvenience with the ferry service, as it operated the same number of times as other companies. We were able to take our time enjoying activities like riding water buffalo and sightseeing around the island.

　竹富島に半日だけの予定の私たちには、船便も他社と同じ回数で不便を感じませんでした。
水牛にのったり、島を観光したりとゆっくり過ごせました。

It was a trip with my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter and three generations of our family. We were able to fully enjoy the unique experiences of Mishima, and it was a lot of fun! There wasn't much wasted time, so my little daughter was able to enjoy herself as well. The sanshin music on the water buffalo cart was great!

2才10か月の娘と三世代での旅でした。
三島それぞれの楽しさを満喫できて、とても楽しかったです！時間にも待ち時間など無駄があまりなくて、小さい娘も楽しめました。水牛車の方の三線よかったです☆

About 15 minutes from Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal, upon landing at Taketomi Port, a shuttle bus is waiting to take you to the center of the village located almost in the middle of the island. After about 5 minutes, you arrive at the place where the water buffalo carts depart, and from there, a 30-minute water buffalo cart tour begins. You progress between traditional Yaeyama buildings characterized by coral stone walls and red-tiled roofs. The classic "Asiriya Yunta" is sung by the driver and guide accompanied by the sanshin, filling the journey with a sense of adventure. It's significantly cheaper than paying for the ferry and water buffalo cart tour separately.

石垣港離島ターミナルから約１５分、竹富港に上陸すると、島のほぼ中央にある集落の中心に向かう送迎バスが待っている。５分ほどで水牛車の発着する場所に到着し、そこから約３０分の水牛車観光が始まる。サンゴの石を積み重ねた垣根と赤瓦の屋根が特徴な八重山の伝統的な建物の間を進む。定番の「安里屋ユンタ」も御者兼ガイドさんが三線の伴奏で唄って、一気に旅情が満たされる旅となりました。船代と水牛車観光を別々に支払うよりかなり格安。

It was a very efficient tour that allowed us to visit Taketomi Island, Iriomote Island, and Yufu Island. I hope to participate in various tours again if the opportunity arises.

竹富島、西表島、由布島を効率的にまわることができ非常に効率的なツアーでした。また機会があれば色々なツアーに参加させて頂ければと考えております

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, so I applied for the tour without hesitation. The content was fulfilling and it was very good. However, since I chose the bus tour on Taketomi Island, I wished I could have taken it a bit slower.

初めての石垣島だったので、迷いなくツアー申し込みをしました。内容も充実していて、とてもよかったです。ただ竹富島はバス観光を選んだので、もう少しゆっくりしたかったです。

I think renting a bicycle is the best option on Taketomi Island since it's a small island. Unfortunately, the weather during my visit wasn't great, so I couldn't enjoy the scenery, but I was able to relax. I was impressed by the Ryukyu architecture under construction that I included in the photo; I'm not sure if it's a private home or commercial, but it's a style that you rarely get to see.

竹富島は狭い島なのでレンタサイクルがベストだと思います。今回の良好ではあいにくの天気で景色どころではなかったですが、のんびりと過ごすことが出来ました。写真に載せた建築中の琉球建築は民家か商用かは不明ですが滅多に観ることが出来ない様式に感動しました。

The mangrove cruise does feel a bit rushed, but I think it's good for those who don't want to paddle a canoe or don't have the stamina. The ox cart was cute with the oxen, and I enjoyed listening to the sanshin music, which made me very satisfied. The awamori gelato at the café on Yufu Island was delicious.

マングローブクルーズは駆け足感が否めませんが、カヌーに乗りたくない体力のない方や疲れたくない方には良いかと思います。
牛車は牛が可愛いし、三線も聞けて、大変満足しました。
由布島にあるカフェの泡盛のジェラートが美味しかった。

In the morning, I noticed at the Ishigaki Island boarding area that there are numerous tour operators. Departure times vary depending on the boat (tour company). With so many options, you can choose a provider that fits your schedule. I was amazed by the star sand on the beach; it's worth seeing at least once. The ox cart experience feels sufficient after just one time. It moves leisurely around the nearby area.

朝　石垣島の乗船場で気づいたのですが、数多くのツアー企画業者がいます。
出発時間も船（ツアー社）によって異なります。
選択肢が多いので、自分の時間の都合にマッチした業者選択が可能です。
海岸での星の砂には驚きました。一度見る価値はあります。
牛車は一度経験すれば十分な感じ。ゆったりと近場を移動します。

Riding a water buffalo cart and visiting Taketomi Island had been my long-time dream, and this time, both dreams came true at once! The hotel and port transfers, explanations at the port, and guidance along the way were all smooth, and I didn't feel any stress at all. The staff at each facility we visited were very friendly and seemed accustomed to dealing with tourists. I was a bit anxious about not being able to choose the lunch menu, but it had a good amount of Okinawan ingredients and was delicious! Since I used a rental bicycle on Taketomi Island, I was able to explore at my own pace and decide my return time, which was great. I think this course is highly recommended for those visiting remote islands for the first time!

水牛車に乗る事と竹富島に行く事が長年の夢だったので、今回一気に夢が叶いました！
ホテルと港の送迎、港での説明、途中の案内もスムーズで何もストレスを感じませんでした。
途中お世話になった各施設のスタッフの方々も、観光客慣れされてるようでとても親切でした。
昼食のメニューが選べないのが不安だったのですが、適度に沖縄食材が入っていて美味しかったです♪
竹富島ではレンタサイクルを利用したので、マイペースに回れて帰りの時間も自分で決められて良かったです。
初めて離島巡りをされる方にはオススメのコースだと思います！

I participated in a family trip with 11 people to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday. The shuttle service to the hotel was very helpful, especially since we had small children with us.

I really enjoyed the mangroves, the water buffalo cart, and Taketomi Island; it felt like a different world from Japan. The water buffalo was very large, relaxed, and adorable! I would love to use this service again when I want to see them. Thank you for this experience!

母の還暦のお祝いで11人大家族旅行で参加しました。ホテルまでの送迎があり子供が小さいためとても助かりました。
マングローブも水牛車も竹富島も日本ではない感覚でとても楽しめました。
水牛はとても大きくのんびりさんで可愛かったです！また会いたくなったら利用させていただきたいです。今回はありがとうございました。

The experience of riding a water buffalo cart and exploring the mangroves was enjoyable and quite a culture shock! I felt that the stay on Yubu Island was a bit too long, but overall, I think it was a good plan.

初めての水牛車やマングローブ探索はカルチャーショックがあって楽しめました！
由布島での滞在時間が長過ぎな気もしましたが、全体を通しては良いプランだと思います。
