Reviews of Ishigaki activities

We were a group of 1 adult and 2 children visiting Ishigaki. Although it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see the starry sky due to too many clouds after the typhoon (we originally expected to capture beautiful starry skies), the jungle and beach exploration still made both the children and adults happy. The tour guide was young, energetic, and enthusiastic. Below are the reviews from the two children. Brother: I had fun during the jungle tour. I saw a sea snake in the water near the shore, lots of hermit crabs, and my favorite, a coconut crab. The ghost crab was the hardest to find, and we also saw a butterfly pupa and even a hider crab. Overall, it was really fun and exciting. Sister: It was very fascinating to explore this jungle I’d never seen. Exploring new areas and animals and learning the history of this island was very eye-opening. The tour guide was very insightful and friendly, and he also knew how to speak English and communicate with us.

It was so hot that I kept sweating, or maybe crying, but I didn't notice the time passing because I was so engrossed in watching the cute squirrel monkeys! Also, make sure to buy food at the teahouse before you go to see the squirrel monkeys!! I didn't realize they had food until later when I was hot and trying to buy a drink, and I was so disappointed I missed out. The monkeys are incredibly cute!!!

Experience: If it's your first time visiting Ishigaki and you have more time for another snorkeling trip, I would recommend this. First, we went snorkeling near Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, the visibility was low that day, so we couldn't clearly see the coral and fish from the surface. Luckily, our guide Chloe free-dove and captured clearer images, even encountering Limo! This activity lasted about 45 minutes before we headed to Yumejima (Dream Island). We spent about 30 minutes on the island for close-up viewing/photography before returning. The total trip was approximately 3 hours.

It's very convenient. At the remote island ferry terminal, you can exchange your QR code for physical ferry tickets and water buffalo cart tickets. After disembarking, there's a shuttle bus connection to the water buffalo cart center, and the water buffalo cart ride is very unique. The water buffalo cart center also offers bicycle rental services, so you can immediately rent a bike for an island tour after your water buffalo cart activity. It's very convenient. Afterwards, you can also take a shuttle bus to the Taketomi Island ferry terminal.

We are a family of four that utilize the Okinawa pass for golden week and it was 100% worth it. we were able to do four different experiences including Okinawa world snorkeling in the blue cave, the aquarium and the southeast botanical garden. my recommendation is to make your reservations in advance. Once you check the weather because the window does close quickly the day prior.

During this trip to Kabira Bay, we took a glass-bottom boat. The staff at the service center were excellent, and there was even someone who spoke Chinese to assist with translation. The only minor drawback was that the captain also served as the tour guide, but he spoke Japanese. A good solution would be to use a translation app, which would allow you to understand the captain's explanations.

I booked this thinking it would rain because of the typhoon, but it didn't rain. Still, the cave was worth seeing. It's surprisingly long and you can see plenty of stalactites.

It was a speechlessly awesome experience! Our guide was very easygoing and spoke great English. The price was very reasonable, but the memories are absolutely priceless. I highly recommend this to anyone who is still hesitant!
