Customer Reviews
Efficient staff communication
Despite there was a typhoon near Ishigaki, company was efficiently update customers about the ferry schedule and allowing us to decide if we wish to continue the journey. Package was definitely worth it with flexible return ferry schedule. Whole island was so beautiful that I wish I can spend more time to explore. Definitely come back again!

八重山一人旅行
石垣島は3回目ですが、竹富島にいったのは、20年振りでした。 島の景色は変わらないと感じたのは、環境保全がしっかりできている証ですね。 水牛車は楽しく、サイクリングも楽しめましたが、地面が砂地なので滑りやすく、注意が必要です。 ゆったりとした一日を楽しめました。

竹富島観光
竹富島 一歩足を踏み入れると、そこには別世界が広がっていました。 見上げれば吸い込まれそうなほどに真っ直ぐな青い空。 そして、白い砂道に映える鮮やかな赤い屋根の集落。三線の音色を聴きながら、水牛車に揺られてゆったりと巡る時間は、まさに至福のひとときでした。

オリオンくん！
オリオンくんに引いてもらっての水牛車観光、最高でした！ ガイドさんが弾いてくれる三線の音色も相まって、竹富島の街並みをゆっくり楽しめました。 レンタサイクルは、午後のフェリーで行ったのでバタバタでした。午前から行けば良かったかな？？

楽しめました
天気はいまひとつでしたが、水牛車に乗って、島ではゆったりと時が流れているのを実感しました。このツアーのレンタサイクルは電動式ではないので、しんどいかと思っていましたが、想像よりこぎやすかったです。 自転車返却後、港まではバスを使わず歩いていきましたが、10分少しで着きます。 港近くにある「竹富島」という地名の看板前で写真を撮ったり、港の売店でゆっくり買い物したり、乗船の列ではバス到着で混雑する前に並べるので、体力に問題のないかたは歩きをお勧めします。

楽しかったです！
