This plan includes a water buffalo cart tour on Taketomi Island, a self-guided exploration with rental bicycles, and a ferry ticket between Ishigaki and Taketomi Island. You will leisurely explore the village with its vivid red-tiled roofs contrasting against the blue sky while riding the water buffalo cart. Enjoy the guide’s narration with the gentle sound of the sanshin (traditional Okinawan instrument) in the background. With multiple start times available, it’s easy to combine this with other activities! The convenient rental bicycles allow you to visit places like the shallow Kondoi Beach, Kaiji Beach, known for its "star sand," cafes with sea views, and charming souvenir shops. Make the most of your time on this island, which still retains the original Okinawan scenery!

    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!

    水牛がかわいい

    年齢様々な水牛がそれぞれのペースで歩いてくれます スタッフの方の生歌も聞けて雰囲気がすごくよかったです 自転車は島内が割とアップダウンあるので頑張って回りました クルーズ船が竹富島に止まらない日だったので静かな竹富島を楽しめました

    竹富島の水牛車

    八重山観光さんの船で竹富島の水牛車のツアーでお世話になりました。 ガイドのお姉様とお利口な水牛さんのお陰で楽しい時間を過ごせました。 それと、前日に安栄観光さんの船に乗って西表島まで行きましたが八重山観光さんの船の方がきれいで良かったです。

    竹富島が好きになりました

    フェリー+水牛車+レンタサイクルのツアーを予約しました。 水牛車のガイドさんの楽しいトーク&歌とともに竹富島を回る時間がとても楽しかったです。 水牛車に乗っていた赤ちゃんが少し泣き出してしまったのですが、三線とともに竹富島の子守唄を歌っていただいたところ泣き止んでいて、気持ちがとても和みました。車内はずっと優しい空気が流れていました。 終わった後は牛さんとの撮影もついており、その後のレンタサイクルの場所までも近く、大変充実しておりました。 導線もスムーズでしたし行程の説明もわかりやすかったです。 このツアーに参加して、竹富島が好きになりました。また訪れたいです。
