Excursão de um dia em Okinawa, Ilha de Iriomote & Ilha de Yubu: Carrinho de búfalo na Ilha de Yubu & Manguezais do rio Nakama & Centro de Proteção Animal de Iriomote

The ticket exchange at Ishigaki Remote Island Terminal is very convenient. There are staff members who speak Mandarin and English to help with the itinerary exchange and provide detailed explanations. After that, it's very close to the pier to board the boat, so you don't have to search around. Upon disembarking, there are staff members holding signs to greet you (staff speak simple English). The pier for the mangrove boat tour is right next door, and the captain provides explanations along the way (Japanese only), even preparing mangrove creatures for visitors to see. Afterwards, a tour bus takes you to the water buffalo cart ride. The driver also provides explanations along the way (Japanese only). The round-trip experience of riding the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island is quite special; the pace varies depending on the buffalo's personality. The only downside is that after having the lunch buffet and then visiting Yubu Island, it feels quite rushed, making it difficult to see everything. Overall, this itinerary is quite good, and I found that there are many options at Ishigaki Remote Island Terminal, so everyone doesn't need to worry about buying food or other items.

A very good itinerary, all transfers were smooth, and the driver was friendly. We saw beautiful natural scenery, and although lunch was a simple and refreshing buffet, it had a distinct island flavor. The mangrove boat tour was unforgettable, especially being able to see seven types of mangroves at once.

A very convenient island-hopping tour. Just exchange your package ticket at the departure counter, and you can visit two islands. The sea views along the way are truly beautiful, and you can even ride a water buffalo cart and take photos with water buffaloes. It's a fantastic itinerary.

Despite not speaking Japanese and being aware that we had booked a guided tour only in Japanese, the organization was excellent. We were always provided with logistical information in English, and the staff made sure we understood and were present. Obviously, we couldn't benefit from the explanations, but this didn't detract from the places we were able to fully appreciate nonetheless.

The itinerary is relaxed and unhurried, with perfect timing. The boat was very comfortable for sleeping. I loved Yubu Island, especially seeing the water buffalo. Remember to apply plenty of sunscreen as the weather is sunny.

The main highlight of the entire trip was the round trip by water buffalo cart, and the water buffaloes were all very cute. Lunch was acceptable and quite substantial, offering good value for money. Unfortunately, the guided boat tour segment was a bit dull.

Although the weather was not good, the experience was still pleasant. Lunch was delicious.

That's amazing! That's amazing!
