All-Inclusive Ishigaki Island Shore Excursion with English Guide

Es war eine sehr schöne Tour. Unser Guide war sehr freundlich, hat uns sehr viel erzählt und hat uns zusätzlich zu ganz tollen Plätzen gefahren die gar nicht auf dem Plan standen. Wir können diese Tour nur absolut empfehlen.

For a concise & comprehensive tour of Ishigaki Island with an English speaking guide, I could not have picked a better tour. Sander, our guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. You could tell he was trying to show as much of Ishigaki as possible within the limited time frame. Despite the cloudy & windy conditions, we were able to see much of the island and its beautiful views. He was very kind and considerate to my 96 yr old mother, who often stayed in the Van, while the rest of us walked up to a view point or down to the beach. He also provide lots of excellent snacks & drinks during the tour. For those short on time but want to see as much as possible, this is the tour.

Great tour experience covering all major sites on Ishigaki Island. Sander was a great tour guide and really went out of his way to ensure we all had a great time. The vehicle had a screen showing the sites and explanations of some of the areas we were visiting. Also Sander had a great snacks on board ensuring we were never hungry. Overall highly recommend this tour when visiting Ishigaki Island. This tour was in English.

It was a great day. Sander was super attentive, understood his English well and besides the tour was also taken care of our physical well-being 👏

There are very few options for Western cruisers arriving at Ishigaki as most excursions are in Japanese or Chinese. Fortunately I stumbled across this tour organized by Xander and it was the best thing that could happen to us. He was in communication with us all the time, was punctual and made sure we were at ease. Transportation was spotless, comfortable and provided with drinks and snacks. Between visit and visit, he put us videos explaining the attractions. We had an amazing day and can only recommend anyone who speaks English and wants to have a personalized experience, to hire this service. Thank you very much Xander for allowing us to meet Ishigaki with you.

Xander is the most friendly tour guide you would ever meet. He is relaxed; informative yet flexible with his tour schedule. Most travelers like his snacks and drinks stored in the back compartment of his van. His pre-tour communication is clear and you are assured you would not be left out in your shore excursion.

Ishigaki Island Tours did a great job with our tour. Very clean van took 9 of us across the island, stopping for views and experiences. Sander, our driver/guide was friendly, spoke English well, and had water and snacks to get us through the day. The island is surprisingly tropical, and the van was kept comfortable all day. A really good experience!

I had the most fun filled day. Sander was great tour guide. The tour was well organized and also great introductory video while you are in the van. Some great beaches and cliff with lighthouse view were amazing. I even spent time with squirrel monkeys in Yaima village. They were so adorable!!!!One even climbed up on my shoulder. There is also Shisa art, whimsical pottery statues which was incredible. It’s free but would be nice to leave donation please. Sander looked after me very well. He is very friendly and funny. His van was very comfortable and super clean (I felt bad I filled his van with sands, Gomen Nasai). He had heaps of drinks and snacks packed in his van. Although it was October, the heat in Ishigaki was next level and I was sweating like a pig. There was a very pretty hidden waterfall(secluded and no crowd) which helped me cool off. He also got towels for you. I thought it was very thoughtful. There was one restaurant with rubber chicken hanging, one that makes noise when you squeeze, I still don’t know if it was there to get their attention but we were laughing our arses off. All in all, this tour is the best to view Ishigaki especially if you’re only there for couple of days.

Very well organized tour in a nice little van. Sander was very attentive to our needs. Nice video and explications along the ride

This tour was fantastic. First of all, Sander the tour guide, had a wonderful van with everything we would need for the day, including water, snacks, drinks, sunscreen, bug spray, personal usb fans, and towels to dry off. He was very personable and had a large monitor showing all the places we were going to visit. And to top it off, he brought us to a little soba restaurant with delicious food ( all part of the tour). All in all this tour was excellent and full of great information. We even got to get close to the small monkeys, where they are very friendly. We went on a glass bottom boat, and saw some coral reef where they harvest black pearls. Ishigaki is a beautiful island, very reminiscent of Hawaii, with a laid back feel. This was a great way to be introduced to this lovely paradise! Thank you Sander and may you continue to have great success with your island tour !
