All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I've been to Okinawa three or four times, but this is my first time visiting after the New Year and all the way to the northern tip. I had only ever toured the beaches and Shuri Castle, but this time it was a very interesting and enjoyable trip as we were able to experience history and nature that we didn't know about. Since we didn't have a driver, we joined a one-day tour, which was a great deal and packed with highlights. The guide's explanations were professional and fun, and the fish for lunch was very delicious. I was very satisfied!

沖縄には３、４回来ていますがお正月明け、それに北端まで来たのは初めて。
ビーチや首里城しか観光したことがなかったのですが今回は私たちにとって知らなかった歴史や自然に触れられてとても興味深く楽しい旅でした。ドライバーがいないので1日ツアーに参加し、見どころ満載のお得で充実したツアーでした。ガイドさんの説明もプロで楽しく、ランチのお魚もとても美味でした。大満足！

When we arrived at the Okurayama Jump Stadium, the sky was blue, but the bus guide said, "This weather means it will snow later," and I thought, "No way..." But at Shiroi Koibito Park, it was snowing!!! I really enjoyed it! I want to go again.

大倉山ジャンプ場についた時は青空だったのですが、バスガイドさんが「この天気は後々、雪が降ります」と仰られて「まさか…」と思っていましたら、白い恋人パークでは雪が！！！
とても堪能出来ました！また、行きたいと思っています。

It was a satisfying course that allowed us to explore efficiently without wasting time. We were happy to find that eating and drinking were allowed on the bus, and we received a bottle of water and a sweet potato tart as gifts. Most of the tour participants were foreigners. Pineapple Park was more fulfilling than I had imagined, and we almost ran out of time; the butterflies and bougainvillea were beautiful. Although the weather on Kouri Island was unfortunate, we were able to go to the beach and enjoy drinks and soft serve ice cream at Kouri Island Interaction Square. We arrived at the main event, the Churaumi Aquarium, just in time for the dolphin show, but the distance from the bus parking lot to the aquarium made our stay feel shorter than expected. There were many free facilities, such as the dolphin show and the sea turtle pavilion, so it seemed like we could have enjoyed ourselves even without an admission ticket to the Churaumi Aquarium. The Okashi Goten had a great selection of individually sold snacks, allowing us to enjoy various types of sweets. Although the weather at Manzamo was unfortunate, the sata andagi we had at the shop was delicious. I was worried about traffic on the way back, but we arrived in the city earlier than planned. It was disappointing that the tour guide only made minimal announcements and that the audio guide had significant distortion, but overall, I was satisfied with both the course content and the price.

無駄なく効率よく回れて満足できるコースでした。
バス内は飲食可能でお水のペットボトル一本と紅芋タルト一個のプレゼントがあり嬉しかったです。
ツアー参加者はほとんどが外国人でした。
パイナップルパークは想像よりも充実しており、時間が足りないくらいで、蝶々とブーゲンビリアが綺麗でした。古宇利島は生憎の天気でしたが砂浜に行くことができ、古宇利島ふれあい広場で飲み物やソフトクリームを楽しむこともできました。メインイベントの美ら海水族館はちょうどイルカのショーに間に合う時間に到着できましたが、バスの駐車場から水族館までが遠いので滞在時間は思っていたより短く感じました。イルカショーやウミガメ館など無料の施設も多くあったので美ら海水族館入場券が無くとも十分に楽しめそうでした。お菓子御殿はバラ売り販売も充実しており色んな種類のお菓子を楽しめました。最後の万座毛は生憎の天気でしたが、売店で食べたサーターアンダギーが美味しかったです。帰りは渋滞を心配しておりましたが、予定より早く市内に到着しました。
添乗員さんが最低限のアナウンスのみだったこと、音声ガイドの音割れが酷かったことは残念でしたが、コース内容も金額も満足な内容でした。

I think it's possible to go by rental car or other means, but in winter, the conditions in the mountains can be uncertain, so I decided to go with a tour, and I'm glad I did. Additionally, thanks to the guide, I was satisfied with the photo spots and how to enjoy the surroundings. For lunch, we were able to eat smoothly at a place that would usually be crowded because it was part of the tour. Overall, I am very satisfied!

レンタカーなどの手段で行くことも可能かと思いますが、冬ですと山の方の状況がわからないこともありますのでその点でまずツアーに決めようと思いましたしよかったと思いました。加えてガイドさんのおかげで写真スポット、周りかたを教えてもらえて満足でした。昼食も通常であれば混むところをツアーですのでスムーズにいただくことができました。総合してとても満足です！

Due to the waves, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we were taken to Ohsaki Beach. During the car ride, the guide shared recommendations for shops and chatted with us, making the journey feel quick. After putting on our wetsuits, we entered the sea. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but the beauty of the underwater world blew away my worries. I was amazed by the colorful fish and corals. The guide showed us sea snakes and sea cucumbers, and we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which made me very satisfied.

波の影響で青の洞窟には行けなかったので、大崎ビーチに連れて行って頂きました。
車中ではガイドさんがおすすめのお店など教えてくれたりと楽しくお話してくださりあっという間に到着、ウェットスーツを着用して海の中へ、
初めてのシュノーケリングで少し不安でしたが、そんな不安も吹っ飛ぶ美しさで、色とりどりの魚やサンゴに感動しました。
ガイドさんがウミヘビやなまこを見せてくれて
運良くウミガメにも会え大満足でした。

As someone who is about to become a pilot, you have studied various positions within ANA thoroughly. You answered questions accurately, making for a fulfilling visit.

これからパイロットになろうとしている方だけあって、ＡＮＡ社内のいろいろな職種のことをよく勉強されていました。
質問にも的確に答えて頂き、充実した見学でした。

I attended a completely reservation-only light-up event. The observation deck tickets were only available through accommodation or bus tours, and they were as difficult to obtain as tickets for the Takayama route or Southern route, while the Kanazawa route was relatively easier to get. That said, they sold out quickly.
The scenery was impeccable. It was a clear day, and I could see many stars. There were quite a few inbound tourists, but the crowd level was manageable for proper sightseeing.

完全予約制のライトアップイベントに行きました。展望台チケットは宿泊するかバスツアーしか無く、高山ルートとか、サザンのチケット並みの取りにくさ、金沢ルートは比較的取りやすかったです。と言っても分で売り切れます。
景観は文句なし。快晴で星が沢山みえました。インバウンドの方々も多かったけど、適切に観光できるレベルの混みようでした。

The tour was efficient, with no wasted time, and the content was rich. Our guide, Ms. Anase, was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke fluently, and paid attention to even the smallest details—she was a perfect guide. If I had to say something, it would be that a higher quality lunch would have been even better, but considering the price, I think it's understandable.

効率よく回れて、全く時間の無駄がなく、　内容も濃く、ガイドのあなせさんがまた知識豊かで、澱みなくお話しされ、細かなところまで良く気がつくという完璧ガイドさんでした。
強いて言えば昼食のグレードがもう一段高いと尚良かったが、この価格を考えると、致し方ないかと思います。

I was looking forward to the boat ride, but the waves were high, and my entire family got seasick.

The staff were very polite and took care of us kindly, but it was very disappointing that we didn't see a single whale.

I think it also depends on one's physical condition and constitution, but even if you usually don't get motion sickness, a boat can be different, and there's a possibility that you might get seasick and miss the chance to see whales. I think it's best for participants to keep this in mind.

楽しみに船に乗りましたが、波が高く、家族全員で船酔いしました。

スタッフの方の対応はとても丁寧で、優しく介抱していただきましたが、鯨が一目も見られず、とても残念でした。

体調や体質もあると思いますが、普段乗り物酔いをしなくても船は別もので、船酔いしてしまい、鯨を見るどころじゃなくなる可能性があることを念頭に参加された方がいいと思います。

In one day, we were able to visit popular tourist spots including the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium from Naha, and it was fulfilling. There were many foreign participants, but the tour guide provided clear directions and we kept to the schedule. They were a bright and kind person.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we enjoyed the dolphin show and the manatee exhibit, and the two and a half hours flew by. We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy the scenery.

I did wish we had a bit more time at each location, but I was satisfied after trying pineapple at Pineapple Park, Mont Blanc at the Okashi Goten, and sata andagi at Manzamo. I highly recommend this tour!

那覇から一日で美ら海水族館ほか人気観光地を回れ、充実してました
外国人の参加者も多かったですが、添乗員さんがポイントをしっかり案内されてて、時間どおり進みました　明るくて親切なステキな方でした
美ら海水族館ではイルカショーやマナティ館にも行ったりで、2時間半もあっと言う間でした
お天気にも恵まれ、景色を楽しむこともできました
各所、もう少し時間が欲しいなとは思いましたが、パイナップルパークでパイナップル、お菓子御殿でモンブラン、万座毛でサーターアンダギーといろいろ食べて満足、おすすめのツアーです

I was happy to be able to visit American Village after going to the aquarium.

The illumination was very beautiful, and the atmosphere was lovely.

I wished I had a little more time for shopping.

水族館に行き帰りには最後にアメリカンヴィレッジにいけて嬉しかったです。

ライトアップがとっても綺麗で、雰囲気が素敵でした。

お買い物の時間がもう少し時間が欲しかったです。

It was great that there was no wasted time, and it wasn't a hard schedule either, so I was able to enjoy myself. The river journey in Iriomote Island was a bit disappointing because the water wasn't clear, but it still became a good memory.

無駄な時間がなく、かと言って、ハードなスケジュールでもなく、
楽しめたのは良かったです。
西表島の川旅は、水が綺麗でなく、少しガッカリ
それも含めて良い想い出になりました。

I'm glad I was able to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, which I had wanted to go to for a long time.

It was fun to see the dugongs and enjoy the dolphin show.

ずっと行きたかった美ら海水族館に行けてよかった。

ジュゴンが見れたりイルカショーが見れて楽しかった。

It was disappointing that the glass boat tour was canceled due to the weather, but I was happy to meet the red panda at the alternative Neo Park.

天気の関係でグラスボートが中止になったのは残念でしたが、代りのネオパークでレッサーパンダに会えたのは嬉しかった。

Personally, it would have been a tough schedule to manage on my own, so I'm glad I could do it all in one tour.

I was very satisfied.

個人的にこのスケジュールをこなそうとすると大変なスケジュールなので、
一気にツアーで行くことができて良かった。

大満足でした。

I was able to feel the wind and enjoy a very powerful and beautiful view from a different height than usual. I would love to ride again.

風を感じられて
普段とは違う視界の高さで
とても迫力もあり
とても綺麗な景色を楽しめました
また乗りたいなと思います

I was prepared for insect bites and was able to participate in the jungle night tour without being bitten by mosquitoes, which was reassuring. Although it was not easy to find coconut crabs, I was thrilled when I saw several of them. Watching the starry sky on the coast was also a precious experience. Unlike in the city, the stars are beautifully visible when it gets dark. I would like to participate again when I find the opportunity.

虫刺されが準備されており、蚊などにも刺されず、安心してジャングルナイトツアーに参加できました。ヤシガニは簡単に見つかりませんでしたが、何匹もヤシガニを見れたときは感動しました。海岸で星空を見るのも貴重な体験でした。都会とは異なり、暗闇になると星空が綺麗にみられます。また機会を見つけて参加したいです。

It was my first time participating in a tour alone, but perhaps because it was the day after the Ishigaki Marathon, there were many solo participants, and I had a great time. I was glad to be able to efficiently visit tourist spots that I wouldn't have been able to reach without renting a car.

初めての一人参加のツアーでしたが、石垣マラソンの翌日のためか一人参加のかたも多く楽しめました。レンタカーを借りないのでなかなか行けない観光地に効率的に行けて良かったです。

I stayed at a hotel in Manza without a rental car, so I was looking for tours that depart from Manza and found one. There are many tours departing from Naha City, but there were hardly any tours that could pick us up in Manza to go to Kouri Island, so I was glad to participate. I was satisfied with the efficient sightseeing in places that are not accessible by public bus. The weather was nice, and the beach on Kouri Island was very beautiful and impressive.

レンタカーの予約なしで万座のホテルに宿泊したため、万座から出発できるツアーを探していてヒットしました。
那覇市からの出発ツアーはたくさんあるのですが、万座でピックアップしてもらえる古宇利島に行けるツアーはほとんどなかったので参加できて助かりました。
路線バスでいけない場所に効率よく観光ができて満足です。天気が良かったので古宇利島のビーチが大変美しく印象的でした。

I participated because I wanted to see the starry sky. On the day of the event, it was cloudy, and I thought there might be only a 10% chance of seeing the stars, but luckily, the clouds cleared, and I was able to see shooting stars!

As we moved through nature (almost a jungle) with just one flashlight, there was a nice thrill, and I felt like an explorer. It seems that in summer, there are more active creatures to see, but even in winter, I was able to discover about five different types.

It was fun to line up with all the participants and search for creatures while shining our lights around.

星空が見たくて参加しました。当日は曇り、星空指数10%で見えないかも、と思っていましたが、運良く雲が流れ流れ星も見ることができました！
自然の中（ほぼジャングル）を懐中電灯１つで進んでいくので、程よいスリルもあり探検家気分を味わえます。冬よりも夏の方が生き物が活発になってたくさん見れるそうですが、冬でも5種類ほど発見することができました。
参加者みんなで一列に並び、あちこちを照らしながら生き物を探し、楽しかったです。

Since I participated alone this time, I was honestly a bit anxious, but once I joined, there were no problems at all. I had plenty of time to explore the destinations, and most importantly, I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go, which was fantastic. I got to see the Couples' Rocks, and after visiting the Futami Okitama Shrine, we continued to the Outer Shrine and Inner Shrine.

Before visiting the Inner Shrine, I enjoyed a lunch of Ise udon and hand-formed sushi, which was included in the tour. We were able to eat right at the designated place, and afterward, we could explore at our own pace, allowing us to spend meaningful time at Okage Yokocho.

The tour guide was very polite and kind, making for a fun trip. Thank you very much!

今回は一人参加だったため、正直少し不安でしたが、実際に参加してみると、全く問題はなく、目的地にも十分な時間で回れ、なんと言っても、全部行きたかった場所に行けたので最高でした。夫婦岩も見れ、二見興玉神社参拝後、外宮、内宮と続き
内宮参拝前に、伊勢うどんと手ごね寿司のランチをいただきましたが、こちらもツアー込みのものを選んだため、案内された場所ですぐに食事ができ、その後は各自のペースで参拝に回れたので、おかげ横丁での時間も取れ、とても有意義に回れました。
添乗員の方もとても丁寧でお優しく、楽しい旅行ができました、本当にありがとうございました。

Due to the weather, the tour to Balas Island was canceled, so my daughter and I participated in the mangrove canoe and Yufu Island tour.

In the mangrove canoe, we were overwhelmed by the great nature of Iriomote. There was a lecture at the beginning of the canoeing, and I was able to grasp the technique after paddling a bit. Thank you to Matt-chan for taking so many wonderful photos.

On the bus, we heard a lot about Iriomote Island and learned that its current state is due to the efforts of the local people to protect the great nature.

The water buffalo cart ride to Yufu Island was also a lot of fun! The expression of the young buffalo trying to return to the opposite shore where food was, without letting us off, was so cute.

When we entered the butterfly garden, butterflies came to greet us. The gelato made with butterfly pea and Okinawan salt at the recommended Yufu Island tea house might be the most delicious I've ever had.

Next time, I want to visit with my whole family. I will rely on Pipi-san again then. Thank you very much.

天候の影響でバラス島ツアーは欠航となり、娘と2人でマングローブカヌーと由布島ツアーに参加してきました。
マングローブカヌーでは西表の大自然に圧倒されます。カヌーは最初にレクチャーがあり、少し漕いでいるうちにコツを掴むことができました。担当してくれたまっちゃん、たくさんステキな写真を撮ってくださってありがとうございました。
バスの中でも西表島についてのお話がたくさん聞けて、大自然を守る地元の人々の努力で今の姿があることを知ることができました。
水牛車で渡る由布島もとても楽しかった！
お腹が空いた若い牛さんが乗車している私たちを降ろす間もなくごはんがある対岸に戻ろうとした時のこちらを伺う表情がとても可愛いかった〜
蝶々園に入ると、出迎えてくれるように蝶々がやってきてくれます。
おすすめの由布島茶屋さんで食べたバタフライピーと沖縄の塩を使ったジェラートは今まで食べた中で1番の美味しさかもしれません。
今度は家族みんなで訪れたいです。
その際はまたpipiさんにお世話になります。
ありがとうございました。

I was recognized as a job-seeking student, and I received advice and had many conversations about the benefits of ANA. I attended alone, but they took photos for me, and there were many others in similar situations, which made it easy to participate!

就活生ですか？と気づいていただいて、アドバイスしていただいたり、ANAの良さについてたくさんお話ししていただきました。
1人で参加しましたが、写真撮ってくださったり周りにも同じような方が多く参加しやすかったです！

We signed up for this tour because our travel schedule was limited and we didn't have a car, allowing us to visit the main tourist attractions by bus. There was no bus guide, but instead, there was an audio guide on board that provided information. It introduced various knowledge about Okinawa, making it very easy to understand, and I felt it was a great system.

Pineapple Park was not only home to a diverse range of plants beyond my expectations, but it also had dinosaur sculptures on display, making it a wonderful place for both adults and children to enjoy. The Churaumi Aquarium was larger than I expected, and to be honest, I wished we had a bit more time for sightseeing, but I was satisfied to visit one of Okinawa's representative tourist spots. Lunch was scheduled at the aquarium, but considering the limited time and the few restaurant options, I think it might be a good idea to have lunch during the bus ride.

Additionally, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery from the bus windows and the beach at Kouri Island, making it a course where we could fully enjoy the charm of Okinawa within a limited time. I highly recommend this plan for those visiting Okinawa for the first time or for those who do not have a car!

私たちは旅行の日程が限られており、車もなかったため、バスで主要な観光名所を巡ることができるこちらのツアーに申し込みました。本ツアーにはバスガイドはおらず、その代わりに車内での音声ガイドによる案内がありました。沖縄に関するさまざまな知識を紹介してくれるため、とてもわかりやすく、良いシステムだと感じました。
パイナップルパークは想像以上に多様な植物が楽しめるだけでなく、恐竜のオブジェの展示もあり、大人も子どもも楽しめる素敵な場所でした。美ら海水族館は予想よりも広く、正直なところもう少し観光時間が欲しかったですが、沖縄の代表的な観光名所を訪れることができて満足でした。昼食は水族館で取るスケジュールでしたが、時間が限られていることや、レストランの選択肢が少ないことを考えると、バスの移動中に昼食を済ませておくのも一つの方法かと思います。
また、古宇利島のビーチや車窓からの美しい景色も楽しめ、限られた時間の中で沖縄の魅力を十分に満喫できるコースでした。沖縄を初めて訪れる方や、車を持たない方に特におすすめのプランです！

It was good that they spoke mostly in Chinese on the bus, but I couldn't understand anything... It was a difficult time for Japanese tourists.

中国語が約9割以上で、バスの中で喋ってくれるのは良いがまったく分からなかった‥日本人観光客には、今は難しい日時だった。

It was a cold day, so I couldn't meet the coconut crab, but when I looked up at the sky, countless stars were shining. I was overwhelmed by the number of stars that can't be seen in the city; it was an amazing experience. The sheer number of stars made me feel like I was on a jungle adventure, creating memories that I had never experienced before.

This time I came with friends, but I want my family to enjoy this experience when we visit Ishigaki Island again.

寒い日だったのでヤシガニと会うことは出来ませんでしたが、空を見上げてみると無数の星が輝いていました。街では見られない星の数に圧倒され、とても最高な経験でした。都会では見れない星の数に感動でジャングル探検みたいな感じも味わったことのない経験で、かなりの思い出になりました。
今回は友達と来たので、家族で再び石垣島に来た際には家族にも味わってもらいたい経験でした。

I used a private sightseeing taxi for the first time. The female driver was safe and drove comfortably, efficiently taking me to the places I wanted to go based on my preferences, and she also showed me some beautiful sights along the way. She was very pleasant and we had enjoyable conversations, making for a comfortable and fun time. I felt sad to say goodbye at the airport... I definitely want to request this service again for my next trip to Okinawa. Thank you very much! (^o^)

初めて観光の貸切タクシーを利用しました。女性のドライバーさん、安全運転、快適な社内、私の希望で行きたい場所を効率よく回って下さり、プラスで通り道の景色の良いところも案内して下さいました。とても感じがよく楽しいおしゃべり、快適で楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。空港でのお別れが寂しくなるほど、、、次回の沖縄旅行でも是非お願いしたいです。ありがとうございました(^o^)

I was able to visit Kouri Island and Pineapple Park, which I hadn't been to yet during my tour of the main island. I couldn't help but think about why pineapples are so cute while taking photos, and the staff who helped us were cheerful, which really lifted my spirits! I also got to enjoy a lot of delicious food from Okinawa, and I finally made it to Kouri Island. The guide was very kind and shared many stories about Okinawa's legends and history, and they were great at singing too! The weather was wonderful, making it a fun tour.

本島巡りで、まだ行けていなかった古宇利島、パイナップルパークにも行けました。
パイナップルって、なんで可愛いんだろう、、って思いながら、写真撮って貰う時のスタッフさんも明るくて、ついついテンション上がりました！
沖縄の美味しいものも沢山食べたり、念願の古宇利島へも行けて、ガイドさんも親切に沢山いろんな沖縄の伝説や歴史について話してくださり、歌も上手でした！
天気にも恵まれて楽しいツアーでした。

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. It was nighttime and drizzling lightly. The kids wore thin long sleeves and raincoats, while the adults wore thin long sleeves with ultra-light down jackets and a thicker long-sleeve sweatshirt. Since we were in Okinawa, I thought it would be fine to dress a bit lighter as we would warm up while walking. By the way, the guide's shorts had an incredibly cute pattern.

Although the weather was bad and we couldn't see the stars, we were still able to discover many animals and plants, which made for a high overall satisfaction. There are limited activities available for a 3-year-old, but I recommend this tour. However, I think it would be tough to carry them, so it's best if they can walk on their own or have a baby carrier.

3歳と5歳の子ども連れで参加しました。夜で小雨も降っていました。子どもは薄めの長袖にレインコート、大人は薄めの長袖にウルトラライトダウン、厚めの長袖トレーナー1枚で参加しました。沖縄ですし、歩いて温かくなるので気持ち薄手の恰好で良いかと思います。ちなみに案内役のお兄さんの半ズボンがめちゃくちゃかわいい柄でした。
天候が悪く星は見ることができませんでしたが、それでも動物・植物をたくさん発見できて全体的に満足度が高かったです。3歳だと参加できるアクティビティが限られますがこのツアーはオススメです。ただし抱っこしながらはしんどいと思うので、自力で歩いてもらうか、抱っこ紐必須だと思います。

It was drizzling, and we couldn't see the stars, but that allowed us to thoroughly explore the jungle for creatures during the tour. On the shuttle bus heading to the jungle, the guide provided a lot of explanations, making the time spent very exciting.

Although it was winter and creatures are not very active during this season, we ended up encountering about ten different species, and both children and adults were very satisfied. Our 3-year-old, who usually doesn't walk much and asks to be carried, surprisingly wanted to walk on their own and went on the exploration.

小雨が降っていて星は見えませんでしたが、そのぶんジャングルで生き物をじっくり探すツアーができました。ツアーを行うジャングルに向かうまでの送迎バスの中でもお兄さんがたくさん解説してくださり、わくわくしながら時間を過ごせました。
冬で生き物があまり活発ではない時期とのことでしたが、結果10種類くらいの生き物に出会うことができ、子どもも大人も大満足でした。
我が家の3歳は普段自分であまり歩かず抱っこをせがむのですが、珍しく自分で歩きたいと言って探検していました。
