All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

I really wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined this tour. I was very satisfied that I could efficiently enjoy other popular spots in Okinawa as well. Thank you! I had a great time even by myself!

どうしても美ら海水族館に行きたくてこのツアーに参加しました。他にも沖縄の人気スポットを効率よく楽しむことができてとても満足しています。ありがとうございました！1人でも十分楽しめました！

This tour was alright. The sights we were brought to were good and entertaining. Although the time allocated for each stop was not even close to being enough...the tsukiji fish market was excellent and the food was great and at the same time affordable. The buffet was not exeptional considering the price that was paid for it. Overall it is a tour that all first timers in tokyo must do. But really it was the tour assistant LEVIN that made the tour interesting. Thank you to LEVIN

My first mountain climbing experience. I was anxious since I was traveling alone as a woman, but the guide helped by pacing us slowly. Additionally, I was able to climb lightly by leaving my luggage along the way, which helped conserve my energy. When I actually went, I found that I really loved the mountains in Shiratani Unsuikyo more than Jomon Sugi, so it was a great decision to be greedy. If you only go to Jomon Sugi, you'll just see a long trolley path and a lot of cedar trees. It's a long course, but there are tourist spots along the way, so it doesn't get boring. If you walk slowly and without rushing, you can conserve your stamina. The Shiratani Unsuikyo to Jomon Sugi course avoids the crowds of climbers on the Jomon Sugi-only course. This way, you can climb at your own pace, and there was hardly any waiting for photos or restrooms. I definitely recommend beginners to go with a guide. They teach you about Yakushima's history and more, which is educational, and you really get to appreciate the beauty of Yakushima's nature, which is moving. I can't stay long, but...

初登山。ひとり旅で女だし、不安でしたが、ガイドさんがゆっくりペース配分してくれました。また、途中、荷物を置きながら身軽に登山ができ、無駄な体力を使わずに登山することができました。私は、実際行ってみると縄文杉より、白谷雲水峡の山の中がとても好きになり欲張って正解でした。縄文杉だけだと、長いトロッコ道と、杉の木ばかりです。長いコースですが、要所要所に、観光スポットがあるので、あきません。ゆっくり焦らず歩けば体力温存できます。白谷雲水峡→縄文杉コースなら、縄文杉だけのコースの登山者の混雑にかかりません。なので、自分達のペースで登山ができるし、写真やトイレも並ぶようなことはほとんどありませんでした。初心者さんは、是非ガイドさん付きをオススメします。屋久島の歴史やらなんやら教えてくれるので勉強にもなるし、屋久島の自然のすごさがよくわかり、感動します。長く滞在できないけど、た

I chose this tour because it includes a private shuttle bus and rental services. I'm usually not very active, so I was worried about being able to walk the whole way, but the guide made sure to take regular breaks and shared tips on how to walk, which made the trekking enjoyable! Thank you very much!!

貸切の送迎バスであること、レンタルがついてることからこのツアーに決めました。普段特に運動をしていないので歩ききれるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんがこまめに休憩を入れてくださったり、歩き方のコツなど教えていただき、楽しくトレッキングできました！ありがとうございました！！

One child got seasick during the first 45 minutes of the boat ride. When we immediately informed the guide for the mangrove cruise about the seasickness, they quickly changed us to a boat with a restroom, allowing us to enjoy the cruise with peace of mind. After that, the child who had been seasick regained their energy when it was time to ride the water buffalo cart and was able to have a lot of fun.

There were no restroom breaks from the time we arrived at Iriomote Island until we reached the lunch venue. It's also a good idea to bring your own drinks.

子ども1人は最初の45分の乗船で船酔いをしてしまいました。
その後すぐに乗船するマングローブクルーズのガイドさんに船酔いしていることを伝えると、トイレ付きの船に急遽変更してもらえ安心してクルーズできました。
その後船酔いした子どもは、水牛車に乗る時には元気が戻りその後はとても楽しむ事ができました。

西表島についてから昼食会場まで特にトイレ休憩時間はありませんでした。また飲み物も持参したほうがいいです。

I booked the tour one day before and was happy that I did it for myself and 2 cousins. The trip turn up to be good except that we can't see the whole view of Mount Fuji due to weather. The trip end with a good bonus to see a 4 D show about Mount Fuji. Good experience, recommend Day your.

Great trip to Mt Fugi. We're fortunate with good weather had great view of the mts and scenery. The little towns were cute, would have been nice to have more time to walk around but a very full day. The fresh spring water was really cold and refreshing.
Mario was very informative tour guide. Had hands on experience climbing Mt fugi, able to give first hand account about climbing Mt fugi. Thanks for the experience.

The wonderful sound of the sanshin and the lovely singing voice. I brought my child, and I was happy that they frequently engaged with us. I would definitely like to participate again.

ステキな三線の音色とステキな歌声。子どもを連れて行ったのですが、こまめに話しかけて下さって嬉しかったです。また、ぜひ参加したいです。

I participated with my daughter. Since I was the oldest at 50 years old among the other two girls and five guides, I worked hard not to be a burden to everyone (laughs). The trek from Shiratani to Jomon Sugi and back was quite tough, but thanks to the guide saving the detour to Taiko Rock for the end, I was able to finish on a high note. My knees were at their limit, and I barely made it to the goal. Mentally, I felt I could still go on, but my body was at its limit; my daughter felt physically fine but was mentally exhausted (laughs). I would have retired if it had rained even a little. The pleasant breeze was on my side, and I felt like I was called by Jomon Sugi (laughs).

For over 12 hours, the guide kept talking, which made the walk enjoyable and kept us from getting bored. Thank you for the fun stories. Thanks to the various quizzes about Princess Mononoke, even though I’ve never seen it, I’m looking forward to renting the DVD and watching it while recalling the guide's stories.

Due to time constraints, we chose a tour that covered Jomon Sugi and Shiratani in one day, but for the second time, I might do them separately (laughs). Or perhaps in at Arakawa and out at Shiratani (laughs) since I want to save Taiko Rock for last.

I think this tour course is definitely one that those with confidence in their physical strength should join. The in-and-out of Shiratani will create wonderful memories, but be prepared (laughs) before participating. However, the guide will decide whether to exit at Arakawa or Shiratani based on the participants' conditions, so please consult with them.

I definitely want to go again.

娘と二人で参加させてもらいました。他の二人の女の子、ガイドさん5人の中で最年長50才の自分だったので皆さんに迷惑がかからないように頑張りました(笑)白谷in→縄文杉→白谷outはかなりキツかったのですが、往路にあえて外した太鼓岩を最後に残しておいて下さったおかげで、最高な気分で終えることができました。ひざが限界で本当にギリギリのゴールでした。自分は精神的にはまだまだいけたのですが体が限界、娘は体はまだまだいけるが精神的に限界(笑)自分は、ちょっとでも雨が降ったらリタイヤでしたね。気持ちの良い風も味方してくれたりして、自分は縄文杉に呼ばれたんだなと実感しています(笑)
12時間以上の長い間、ガイドさんが終始お話してくれて、飽きることなく歩き続けられました。楽しいお話ありがとうございました。もののけ姫のいろいろなクイズのおかげで、もののけ姫をみたことがない自分ですがDVDをレンタルしてガイドさんのお話を思い出しながら観るのが楽しみです。
今回は滞在時間の関係で縄文杉と白谷雲水峡を１日でというツアーを選択しましが2回目は別々かな(笑)または荒川口in→縄文杉→白谷outとか(笑)太鼓岩は最後にとっておきたいので。
体力に自信のある方には是非、参加してほしいツアーコースだと思います。in&out白谷は最高の思い出になりますが覚悟して(笑)参加して下さいね。ただ、ガイドさんが参加者の状況でoutを荒川口にするか白谷にするか決めてくださいます。相談してみて下さいね。
また絶対行きたいと思います。

I have been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first time booking a tour. I enjoyed being able to travel without driving, visiting places I had never been to before, and the packed itinerary. The guide was also a wonderful person.

沖縄へは何度も行ってますが初めてツアーを申し込みしました。運転せずに移動できること、往訪したことのない場所、盛りだくさんの内容で楽しめました。ガイドさんも素敵な方でした。

Very convenient way to see the Okinawa Aquarium from the Kadena area. The Nago Pineapple stop was a pleasant surprise. Well organized and a good value.

It was an amazing tour! Mario and Abe-san (our driver) were amazing! Thank you so much for thia wonderful tour. It was so much fun. It was even better because the weather was so great. We were able to see Mt. Fuji clearly! I highly recommend this tour! Lunch was yummy, too!

Was a great tour, good weather allowed to see the scenery and mt Fugi well. The fresh spring water in Oshino was cold and refreshing. Mario was a great tour guide, was able to share first hand experience about climbing Mt Fugi. If only I had more time I would come back to climb trail. But fortunately the clouds broke so was able to get pictures of the summit. The Fugi simulation was nice allowed to see and experience the different seasons on the mt. Would have been nice to have a little more time at sites but with full day saw alot. Thanks!!

The crew was very kind and attentive, and although it was a short trip, I was able to enjoy it. Thank you very much.

乗務員さんがいろいろと親切に対応してくれて,短い旅だったが楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました

Very nice trip. Well organised and professionally managed by local company (Rado). Everything went smoothly. The lady in charge of the tour didn't speak well English but was very kind and attentive to all guests. I recommend it to any foreigner who wants to visit Churaumi aquarium. Pick up option from hotel is a plus. Good experience!

There were various weather conditions to consider, including whether Typhoon No. 13 would turn into a tropical depression. The forecast still indicated rain, and there were whitecaps on the sea in front of us. However, the local company gave the go-ahead, and my family was eager to proceed! As a mother with children, I struggled with the decision to cancel until the last moment. When we boarded the ship, heavy rain created a sense of unease inside.

However, as we left the port, the clouds moved quickly, and we were greeted with clear skies. It was the largest ship, so the rocking was within expected limits. During the bus tour, we experienced a downpour, surprising even our guide, but we managed to continue without umbrellas until the end. The sightseeing was leisurely and fulfilling, allowing us to fully enjoy nature. The female guide on the large bus in Iriomote Island left a very good impression on me.

The ox cart and cycling were especially enjoyable in the sunshine, which supported our journey! However, the return ship was small and a high-speed vessel, and some passengers experienced nausea due to the strong winds.

Cape Hedo, the northernmost point, was dynamic and absolutely wonderful. At the Oishi Forest, I was moved to find an Okinawa lizard, feeling the beauty of nature. Although it's hot and I tend to think of marine sports as the main activity, I highly recommend trekking while sweating, with the expansive view of the ocean.

最北端の地、辺戸岬はダイナミックで最高に良かったです。大石林山では、オキナワトカゲを見つけて、自然だなぁと感動しました。暑いのでマリンスポーツがメインに考えてしまいますが、汗をかきながらのトレッキング、大きく広がる海の景色はお勧めです。ー

I think it's great to go with family. There are many photo spots, and we were able to take a lot of memorable pictures together. It was nice to take photos with the water buffalo at Ryukyu Village. The water at Manza Beach is a cerulean blue color and very beautiful, and swimming there really lifts everyone's spirits. The blue sky, blue sea, and white clouds make you feel like it's summer and the beach! It was so exciting. I also can't forget the sight of the fish swimming at the aquarium. I don't think you should miss this tour, as it really captures the essence of Okinawa.

家族で行くのが良いと思います。写真スポットがたくさんあり実際家族で思い出の写真をたくさん取ることができました。琉球村で水牛と一緒に家族で写真をとれたのは良かったと思います。万座毛ビーチの水はセロリアンブルーの色をしていてとてもきれいで、泳ぐと家族全員の気分のMAXです。青い空、青い海、白い雲。夏だ！海だ！って気持ちにさせてくれ盛り上がりました。水族館で見たお魚さん達の泳いでる姿も忘れられないいです。沖縄っぽさがいっぱい感じれるここのツアーを外すことはないと思います。

We had the pleasure of doing an 8 Hr tour with the driver Hiroshi Yano. He was extremely knowledgeable of details and history, which kept it very interesting. His car was very clean and comfortable and he also had a great sense of humor. He spoke English very well. He was also accommodating to change the original itinerary based on our needs since we had since some of the sites the day before. I for sure would highly recommend him and this tour agency which was also very accommodating in returning several email questions prior to our booking.

The buses all have a long waiting time, between 60 to 90 minutes for the next ride. They are on schedule which is nice but the ride also goes too fast. The audio will cut off halfway while explaining a monument or something of the sort and then will never complete. The audio also usually didn't sync with what was being seen/ passed by which was annoying.

Two of the routes are almost exactly the same, one with an additional four stops in Roppongi but you're really paying for two and a quarter lines, not three.

Seating is only on the top deck so if it's boiling hot or pouring rain, you're out of luck. I have taken hop on, hop off buses around the world but this has to be one of the worst. Would NOT recommend.

I was picked up at the inn at 4:30 AM and took a private bus to the Arakawa trailhead. Since there was no need to transfer to a shuttle bus, I was able to take a nap. We had breakfast at the trailhead, did some stretching, and then started our hike. I was really anxious about my first trekking experience at Jomon Sugi, but the guide helped with pacing and timing, and taught us stretching methods, so I just had to do my best to keep up, and I was able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. The miso soup we had for lunch was very delicious.

Taking a break by dipping my feet in the river on the way back was truly refreshing and felt great. My legs were sore for a few days, but I got to see Jomon Sugi, Yakushima monkeys, and Yakushima deer, making it a wonderful memory for my summer vacation. Thank you, guide Ide!

朝四時半に宿に迎えに来ていただいて専用バスで荒川登山口へ。シャトルバスに乗り換える必要がないので仮眠できました。登山口で朝食をとり、ストレッチをして登山開始です。人生初のトレッキングが縄文杉で本当に行ってこれるのか不安でしたが、ガイドさんがペース配分、時間配分してくれるし、ストレッチの方法なども教えて下さるので頑張ってついていくだけで、無事縄文杉にたどりつけました。昼食に出していただいたお味噌汁はとってもおいしかったです。
帰り道での川に足をつけての休憩はホントにリフレッシュでき、気持ちよかったです。
足は筋肉痛になって数日大変でしたが、縄文杉や屋久猿、屋久鹿もみれたし、夏休みのいい思い出になりました。ガイドの井手さんありがとうございました！

I always wanted to see Jomon Sugi✨
Even with my lack of exercise, I was able to make it there safely.
Thanks to the guide.
Thank you!

一度は見てみたかった縄文杉✨
運動不足の私でも無事に行けました。
ガイドさんのおかげです。
ありがとうございました

The guide shared a lot of knowledge, making the trekking experience very enjoyable. It was great to be taken to places we wouldn't have known about or been able to go to on our own.

ガイドさんが色々な知識を教えてくださりとても楽しくトレッキングができました(^^)
自分達では知ることの出来ないこと、行くことの出来ない場所に連れて行ってくださりとても良かったです✳︎

The dynamism of the Yakusugi, the refreshing feeling of the hiking trail, and the fatigue were as expected, but I was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of the miso soup that the guide generously provided to the participants. It was a day filled with gratitude for such wonderful hospitality.

屋久杉の躍動感、登山道の爽快感、そして疲労感、予想通りでしたが ガイドの方が無料で参加者に配布してくれた 味噌汁の美味しさは 予想外の美味しさと ありがたい おもてなしに感謝した1日でした。

We are using Veltra tours for several years across different continents and countries. All tours are of very high quality and very good value for money. This tour in Tokyo was not an exception.
First of all: itinerary is very well developed. Between each stops bus passing very interesting places. During the whole tour you are keep looking around. Worth mentioning that tour guide Mario speaking fluent English, very knowlegeable and friendly. Bus was very comfortable, good working Fi Wi. Buffet lunch included in the tour was of very high quality, very tasty with big options of meals from different origins.
Tokyo bay is a must see. Spectacular views of Tokyo harbour from the cruise boat.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

no problem but cloudy so no possiblility to view Mount Fuji. So a bit disappointed

I thought it might be impossible, but I'm glad I was able to go without any issues. At first, I thought there might be too few breaks, but later I realized it was good to go at the pace set by the guide. This tour is highly recommended as it uses a chartered bus without needing to transfer at the Nature Museum. Our guide, Mr. Oki, was excellent. I would like to request him again if I come back to Yakushima.

無理かもと思っていたけど無事に行けてよかったです。休憩少ないかもと最初は思ったけど、ガイドさんまかせのペースでよかったと後で思いました。このツアーは自然館で乗り換えることなく貸切バスなので、本当にオススメです。ガイドの大木さんはとても良いガイドさんでした。また屋久島に来たらお願いしたいです。

It worths every penny. Do not miss it. Great tour. Great staff. I came from Saudi Arabia and I am glad that I went on this tour.

We used this service with our family during Obon. This is my second time in Ishigaki Island, but when combined with Naha, I've visited Okinawa about ten times every year. I always enjoy snorkeling tours and option menus on the remote islands, but I realized I hadn't done any sightseeing on the islands? This was my first time participating. The hotel shuttle was convenient, and the bus was large and comfortable. Although the schedule was a bit tight, we were able to see all the highlights and I was very satisfied with the sightseeing. The boat to the remote islands was also very impressive and comfortable. The tour company staff were very friendly, which made me feel secure participating. This year, I have more wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

お盆中家族で利用しました。石垣島は2度目ですが那覇とあわせると10回程度沖縄には毎年訪れています。いつも離島シュノーケルツアーやらオプションメニューで楽しんでばかりで離島観光に行っていない事に気ずき？初めて参加しました。ホテルの送迎も便利でバスも大きなバスでゆったり出来ました。少し時間は忙しかったですが見どころはきちんと押さえた観光が出来て大変満足です。離島に渡る船もとても立派な船でゆったり出来ました。ツアー会社の方も大変感じが良く安心して参加できました。今年もまた良い思い出が増えました。ありがとうございました。

I was able to enjoy the tour in fluent English. My friend from Europe, who was accompanying me, was impressed that it wasn't "Japanese English"! The service was kind and attentive, which was great!

流暢な英語で観光して頂きました。
同行していた友人（ヨーロッパ）が、ジャパニーズ英語ではない！と感動していました。
親切丁寧で良かったです！
