All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The flexibility of the tour company was a great help! I really wanted to visit Hateruma Island on the same day as this tour, so I thought I’d give it a shot and asked if the original schedule could be changed, even though it was tight. They kindly agreed to make the changes. This tour company must be really good at communication!

Actually, the weather wasn't that great, but they adapted well, and I was most satisfied that I could go to the places I wanted to visit. Thank you very much.

ツアー会社さんの融通の利きがよかったので助かりました！
どうしてもこのツアーと同日に波照間島へも行きたいと思っていたので、ダメ元でぱつぱつなスケジュールを考えて、当初のスケジュールが変更可能か聞いてみたところ、快く変更してもらえました。きっとこちらのツアー会社さんはホウレンソウが上手くやれているんでしょうね！
実は天気はさほど良くはなかったのですが、臨機応変に対応して頂いて、行きたかったところに行けたのが何より満足でした。
ありがとうございました。

I had a tour guide who was a veteran woman passionate about Okinawa. She was great at storytelling and ended with a farewell song. I highly recommend this for those who enjoy listening to stories, as you can learn a lot about various aspects of Okinawa. However, if you prefer to quietly gaze at the scenery from the car window, you might find it a bit overwhelming, so I wouldn't recommend it for you!

沖縄を愛するベテランの女性にツアーガイドをしていただきました。お話が上手で最後には別れの歌で締めくくりです。お話を聞くのが好きな方にはかなりおすすめで沖縄のいろんなことが聞けますが、静かにボーっと車窓の景色を見たい方にはウザく感じると思うのでおすすめはしません！

I had a great time riding the water buffalo and exploring Taketomi Island by rental bicycle. Since I arrived on the day of my visit and didn't have much time, the option to choose a plan that included both the water buffalo ride and the rental bicycle was very helpful! The price was also a great deal compared to others, and I was very satisfied!!

乗りたかった水牛を乗車し、レンタサイクルで竹富島を周遊できとても楽しかったです。
到着日へ行った為、時間があまりとれない中、水牛＋レンタサイクルとチョイス出来るプランはとても助かりました！お値段も他と比べてお得で、大満足です!!

I participated with my daughter. It seems to be a very popular tour, as the bus was fully booked. I'm glad we were able to sign up (^ - ^).

The bus guide was cute in many ways and provided us with the unique hospitality of Okinawa. She played the sanshin, danced in her own costume, and sang Okinawan folk songs. She taught us various things about Okinawa, allowing us to experience aspects of the island that we couldn't feel while on the mainland. Being in Okinawa on the anniversary of the end of the war made me reflect on its significance, and I realized that I shouldn't view the harsh realities of others as if they were just a distant fire across the river.

Overall, I had a very enjoyable day, was overwhelmed by the beauty of the Churaumi Aquarium, and experienced the stunning clarity of the sea in Okinawa (^ - ^).

Although it poured rain at one point, the driver offered us umbrellas while getting on and off the bus, showing us the kindness of the people of Okinawa both physically and emotionally (^ - ^).

Thank you very much!!

娘とふたりで参加させていただきました。大人気のツアーのようでバス内は満席。申し込めてよかった(^-^)
ツアーはバスガイドさんがいろんな意味で可愛くて、沖縄ならではのおもてなしをして下さいました。三線を引いてくれたり自前の衣装で踊ってくれたり、沖縄民謡を唄ってくれたり。沖縄のいろいろなコトも教えてくれて、本土にいると感じるコトのできない沖縄をみさせて下さいました。終戦記念日に沖縄にいたことにもきっと意味があるんではないかと、考えさせられ、そして対岸の火事のように見てはいけない現実にも気付きました。
とにかくとても楽しい1日を過ごし、美ら海水族館の美しさに圧倒され、海の綺麗さにも圧倒され、素敵な沖縄を体験しました(^-^)
途中土砂降りになったけれど、運転手さんも自分は濡れながらも私達には傘を差し出して乗降をサポートして下さったり、沖縄の方々の優しさを心身ともに頂きました(^-^)
本当にありがとうございました!!

It was my first time on Taketomi Island. The scenery was wonderful, just as I saw in the guidebook!!

I was glad to ride around the island on a rental bicycle and also to experience the water buffalo cart, which I was interested in (＾Ｏ＾).

初めての竹富島でした。
ガイドブックで見た、そのままの
風景が素晴らしかったです！！

レンタサイクルで島を走ったり
興味があった水牛車にも乗る事が
出来て良かったです（＾Ｏ＾）

I participated with my elementary school child. The guide explained the issues of war and military bases in an easy-to-understand manner, and there were also songs and dances, as well as storytime, making the journey feel very quick. A typhoon was approaching, so it wasn't perfectly sunny, but we were able to see beautiful scenery. The aquarium was very crowded, possibly due to the weather. We usually rent a car to explore the northern region with our family, but the guide was so good that I was glad we chose the bus tour this time. Also, for just the two of us, the bus tour was much more economical than renting a car.

小学生の子供と私の二人で参加しました。ガイドさんが、戦争や基地問題を分かりやすく説明して下さり、また歌や踊りがあり、絵本を読んでくださったりと、あっという間の移動でした。ちょうど台風が近づいていて、快晴とはいきませんでしたが、綺麗な景色も見られました。水族館はお天気のせいかとても混んでいました。いつも家族でレンタカーを借りて北部観光していましたが、ガイドさんがとても良く、今回はバスツアーにして良かったです。また、親子二人なら、レンタカーより今回のバスツアーの方がとてもお得でした。

I rode a water buffalo cart on Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island. I was amazed by the intelligence of the buffalo! The guide's sanshin music and stories were enjoyable as well. The botanical garden on Yubu Island was wonderful, but it was hot, so I couldn't take my time to explore it, which was a shame.

西表島と竹富島で水牛車に乗りました。牛さんの賢さにびっくり！！
そしてガイドさんの三線やお話は楽しかったです。
由布島の植物園もすばらしかったのですが、暑くてゆっくり見れなかったのが残念。

I had to leave the tour midway due to my flight schedule. During that time, I was deeply touched by the kindness of our guide, Mr. Arakaki, and our driver, Mr. Kinjō. I am very grateful to them.
The tour content was also fulfilling, and the guidance during the drive was very educational. I am extremely satisfied with the value for the price. I discussed with my friends about wanting to participate in the tour all the way to the end once more.

フライト便の都合でツアー途中で離脱させていただきました。その際、ガイドさんの新垣さん、運転手の金城さんには大変親切にしていただき、感激しました。感謝しています。
ツアー内容も充実していて、車中のガイドも大変勉強になりました。料金に対しての内容の充実度も大満足です。もう一度最後までツアーに参加したいと友人と話し合いました。

I stayed at Southern Beach Hotel & Resort, and most tours depart from Naha, which requires a taxi costing 2,500 yen (5,000 yen round trip!). However, this tour offers pick-up directly from our hotel, and with the aquarium entrance fee of 1,850 yen, it's definitely a great deal compared to the various costs of taking a bus from Naha to the aquarium, which is 2,700 yen one way. If you get tired of the pool or the beach, I highly recommend this option for guests staying at our hotel; it will surely make your trip more fulfilling!

サザンビーチホテル＆リゾートに宿泊しましたが、多数のツアーのほとんどは那覇発でそこまで行くにはタクシーで２５００円（往復５０００円！）それがこのツアーは当ホテル始発で送迎してくれ、１８５０円の水族館の入場料、那覇から水族館まで自分でバスで行くには片道２７００円と諸々の諸費用と比べるまでもなくお得感いっぱいです♫　プールや海水浴に飽きたら、ぜひこのオプションを当ホテルに宿泊されたお客様は使われた方が充実したご旅行になること必定かと！！

I couldn't drive, so I used a tour. The bus guide's stories were very interesting, and I wasn't bored at all during the long journey. I also got to listen to Okinawan songs, which was a lot of fun. The large aquarium at the Churaumi Aquarium was incredibly impressive; I could have watched it for hours.

運転ができないので、ツアーを利用しました。バスガイドさんのお話がとても面白く、長い道中、少しも退屈しませんでした。沖縄の歌も聞かせていただき、大変楽しかったです。「美ら海水族館」の大水槽は、大迫力で、何時間でも見ていられそうでした。

The water buffalo cart to Yufushima is quick, but it became my favorite memory☆ You get to ride different water buffaloes on the way there and back, so you can enjoy it twice!!

由布島への水牛車はあっという間だけど、いちばん思い出になりました☆行きと帰りで違う水牛に乗るので、２度楽しめます！！

Since it was after Golden Week, there were few visitors, and both the glass boat and the water buffalo cart were almost private. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the sights at a leisurely pace.

ゴールデンウィーク明けだったので利用者が少なく、グラスボートも水牛車もほぼ貸切状態でした。おかげでゆっくり見物できました。

The aquarium felt a bit smaller than I expected, but the presence of the whale shark was impressive. The Habutai vs. Mongoose at Ryukyu Village was, from an animal welfare perspective, unavoidable. I guess I was foolish to have high expectations. Unfortunately, it rained on the day of my visit due to the start of the rainy season, but I still had a pretty good time.

水族館は、期待したよりちょっと小さい感じがしましたが、ジンベイザメの迫力は、圧巻でした。琉球村のハブ対マングースは、やっぱり動物愛護の観点から、しかたないですね(^_^;)期待した方が馬鹿でした。当日は、梅雨入りということもあり、雨にたたられたのが、残念でしたが、結構、楽しめました。

It was a plan with pick-up from the hotel, but I was surprised to receive a call the day before saying that the pick-up was no longer available and to come by taxi instead. Other than that, there were no issues. The water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island seemed to be causing some disputes on the island, and I was shocked by the unusual situation. You really can't know until you go and see for yourself...

ホテルから送迎付きのプランでしたが、前日の電話にで送迎できなくなったのでタクシーでお越しください、という連絡には驚きましたが、それ以外は問題なかったです。竹富島の水牛観光は島内でもめているようで、異常な様子にびっくりしました。行ってみないとわからないものですね。。

I participated alone, but I was able to visit all the places I wanted to in one day, which would have been difficult to do on my own. Thanks to that, I was able to easily visit other places like the limestone caves on foot. I'm glad I participated.

ひとりで参加しましたが、自分で行くのは大変なところが行きたいところ1日でまわれました。おかげでほかの鍾乳洞など簡単に行ける所だけ自分の足で行きました。参加して良かったと思います。

I arrived on a flight at 2:30 PM, and although it was a rush, I was able to easily enjoy the remote islands. In addition, I added a 1-hour bike rental and was able to fully enjoy the area on my own.

14時半にフライト到着して、駆け足だったけど、これなら離島を簡単に満喫。これに加えてレンタサイクル1hを自分でつけて党内を満喫できました

I used this service to guide a couple visiting from South Africa. It was very optimal for sightseeing efficiently in a short six-hour time frame. The driver speaking English was also a plus. I believe the direct conversation between the guests and the driver deepened personal understanding and increased the guests' enjoyment.

For the sightseeing plan, I basically just communicated the places I wanted to visit to the driver and left the rest to him, which resulted in the most efficient sightseeing experience.

Although the cherry blossom season had already passed, I was hoping to show the guests some cherry blossoms. The driver advised that Ninna-ji Temple would have late-blooming cherry blossoms in full bloom, so we visited. Just as the driver said, they were in full bloom, and we were able to enjoy it at the perfect timing.

The car was comfortable to ride in and I think it was worth the cost. I would like to use this service again on my next opportunity.

南アからの訪問者ご夫婦を案内するのに使わせて頂きました。６時間の短時間で効率良く観光するにはとても最適です。運転手さんが英語を話せるのもGoodです。お客さんと運転手さんの間で直接会話が弾み、個人的な理解も深まってお客さん自身も楽しみが増えたと思います。
観光プランは基本的に行ってみたい処だけを運転手さんに伝えて、後はお任せでしたが、最も効率の良い観光ができました。
桜の時期は既に過ぎていましたが、なんとか桜をお客さんに見せてあげられないかと思っていたところ、運転手さんから仁和寺が遅咲きの桜が満開だろうとのアドバイスがあり訪問しました。運転手さんの言う通り丁度満開で、最高のタイミング満喫することができました。
車も乗り心地が良く十分コストに見合うものだと思います。次の機会も利用させて頂きたいと思っています。

I exchanged my points for a bus ticket since Alan's points were about to expire. It was valid for 24 hours, covered three routes, and included a live guide, which was very good.

アランのポイント期限切れ間近のためバスチケットに交換。２４時間有効で３路線、生のガイド有りとても良かった。

The content of the tour itself was good. The water buffalo cart was also nice. The lunch wasn't bad either. However, we had to change vehicles multiple times in one day, and there were staff members at each stop giving instructions for the next ride, which made it feel rushed. Despite being told to board quickly, I had to give up on using the restroom and got on the vehicle, but we didn't depart right away. It felt too much like an assembly line, and since there were older people in the group, I would have appreciated more consideration, such as restroom guidance.

ツアーの内容自体は良かったです。水牛車も良かったです。昼食も悪くなかったです。ただ、一日に何度も乗り物を乗り換えるのですが、降りた先に係員が居て、次に乗る案内があり、直ぐに乗らないとならないから慌ただしい。そのわりに直ぐに乗ってと言われ、トイレに行っておきたいのを諦めて乗車してるのに、なかなか出発しない。 流れ作業すぎず、年配の方も居るのでトイレの案内などの気配りが欲しい。

It's more enjoyable and reasonable than going by rental car! I think it's a great deal. During the long journey, the guide provided various explanations, so I never felt bored. I'm really glad I participated. It's dramatically affordable to visit the places travelers want to see at this price. It truly became a wonderful memory.

レンタカーで行くより楽＋リーズナブル！！すごくお得だと思います。
長い道中ではガイドさんが色々と説明されており暇しませんでした。
本当に参加してよかったと思います。
旅行者が行きたい場所がサクッと回れてこの値段って劇的にお得です(^^)
ほんとにいい思い出になりました。

I have a hard time driving, so I made a reservation for a tour. There was a bit of traffic, and since some people had to catch a night flight, our time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was shortened, and we didn't have time to eat lunch at the restaurant. However, I enjoyed visiting places like Ryukyu Village. The bus guide was also great and made the experience enjoyable.

運転が苦手でレンタカーはだめなので、申し込みました。
ちょっと渋滞があり夜の飛行機で帰る人がいて、美ら海水族館の観光時間が短縮されて
レストランで昼ごはんを食べる時間がありませんでしたが、琉球村などにも行けて楽しかったです。バスガイドさんの話も上手で楽しかったです。

I used this service to accommodate American and Mexican guests. It was very well received, and everyone was satisfied. The driver's English was not fluent, but he had solid knowledge, and I believe the information was conveyed properly. I also appreciated his sincere attitude in explaining things. I definitely want to use this service again in the future.

アメリカ人とメキシコ人の来客対応として利用しました。大好評で皆さんに満足してもらえました。運転手の英語は決して流暢ではなかったですが、知識はしっかりしていて、内容もちゃんと伝わったと思います。誠実な説明態度も気に入りました。是非今後も利用したいと思います。

I have been to Okinawa dozens of times, but I never had the opportunity to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. While looking for something to do, I found this tour. The price, which includes the aquarium entrance fee along with visits to the butterfly garden, pineapple park, and Ryukyu glass, offers great cost performance.

We had a three-hour stay at the aquarium, which was very meaningful. The guide's explanations were excellent, and the driver was also very considerate, making the experience very worthwhile.

沖縄には何十回も来ているが、中々、美ら海水族館に行く機会が無かったので、
何か無いかと探したところ、このツアーがありました。
水族館の入場料込み＋蝶々園、パイナップルパーク、琉球ガラスを回ってのこの値段は、コストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。
水族館でも３時間の滞在時間があり、有意義でした。

ガイドさんの説明も良く、運転手さんにもいろいろと気遣って頂き、非常に有効に活用できたと思います。

I was interested in all the islands, but since I didn't know which one was best, I thought this course that allows you to visit multiple islands at once would be great! In the end, I think it was a good choice. The mangrove boat ride was honestly a bit underwhelming... It was fun at first to hear the explanations and see the rare birds, but I got a bit bored after a while. We turned back early due to low tide... However, the bus driver's guide during our travels on Iriomote was unexpectedly enjoyable and very good. The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was excellent. Being able to ride it twice while listening to the sanshin was quite a rare experience, and the relaxed atmosphere was wonderful. In Taketomi, we chose the glass-bottom boat. We were able to see beautiful coral reefs and fish, and the kids were thrilled.

Although I expected it, I still felt a bit rushed, and I think next time I would like to take my time exploring just one island. However, for us as first-timers, I think this course that included everything from the remote islands was a great choice.

どの島にも興味があるけど、どこがいいかわからないから、一気に周れるこのコースで！と思いました。結果、よかったと思います。マングローブのボートは正直、イマイチでした…。説明を聞けて、珍しい鳥を見る事ができて、最初は楽しいですが、やや飽きました。干潮時で早めに引き返したんですけどね…。西表で移動の時に乗ったバスの運転手さんのガイドが予想外に楽しく、とてもよかったです。由布島へ渡る水牛車はとてもよかったです。往復２回も乗れて、サンシンを聞きながらというのはなかなか貴重な体験で、のんびりした空気が流れて素敵でした。竹富ではグラスボートを選びました。美しいサンゴ礁や魚を見る事が出来て子供達は大喜びでした。
予想していたとは言え、やはり慌ただしさを感じ、次回は１島だけをゆっくり見たいな、と思いました。しかし初めての私たちにとっては、離島の全てを盛り込んだようこなコースでよかったと思います。

This is a recommended course for those visiting the Yaeyama Islands for the first time. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island may not allow boats to go upstream during low tide, so it might be a good idea to check the tide schedule. Riding a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island while listening to the sanshin and lively conversation was very enjoyable. I also rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, which had its own unique charm and kept things interesting. The bus tour on Taketomi Island was short, but I was able to search for star sand and enjoy the beautiful sea. I thought visiting three islands in one day would be hectic, but it actually wasn't the case.

初めて八重山諸島に行く方におすすめなコースです。西表島のマングローブ観光は干潮時は上流の方まで船が入れないようなので、潮の満ち干きを確認した方がよいかも知れません。由布島へ水牛車に乗って三線と軽快なトークを聞きながらのんびりと渡ることができ、とても良かったです。竹富島でも水牛車に乗りましたが、由布島とはまた違った良さがあり、飽きなかったです。竹富島のバス観光も時間は短かったですが、星砂を探したり、きれいな海を見ることができました。１日で３島をめぐるのは慌ただしいかと思っていましたが、実際にはそんなことはありませんでした。

The mangrove boat tour, the water buffalo cart, and cycling around Taketomi Island were all very interesting. I think I enjoyed them more in a shorter time than if I had explored on my own. However, it was rainy and windy all day, and it was a coldness that you wouldn't expect in Okinawa. I believe I could have enjoyed it more if the weather had been better.

マングローブのボートも 水牛 車も、 竹富島のサイクリングも どれも とても面白かった。 個人で回るよりも 短い時間でたのしめたと思う。 でも1日中 雨風が強く、 沖縄とは思えない寒さ だった。 天気がよければ もっと楽しめたと思う。

Before going, I was worried because it was cheap, but once I went, I had a great time! The bus guide knew everything about Okinawa and was very reliable. I thought I would have to walk a lot, but as someone who hates walking, I found it to be "a good workout," and everything was perfect! I think this tour is a bargain for the price!

行く前は安いし不安だったけど、行ってみるとすごく楽しかったです！！
バスガイドさんは沖縄のこと何でも知っててすごく頼りになりました。
すごく歩かされるのかなって思いましたが歩くの大嫌いな私が「イイ運動になったな」と思えるくらいで何もかも満点でした！
この値段でこのツアーは格安だと思います！

The guide's assistance was very good.
The butterfly garden, pineapple park, and glass factory tour were not that great.
I participated in the tour with a 2-year-old, and I thought I might be able to use a seat for free, but despite it being an off-season weekday, it was crowded, and I had to hold my child. It was tough. I regretted not reserving a seat for the toddler.

ガイドさんの案内はとてもよかったです。
ツアーの蝶々園、パイナップルパーク、ガラスの見学はイマイチでした。
2歳児を連れてのツアー参加でしたが、無料であわよくば席が使えるかも？なんて思ってましたが、オフシーズン平日にもかかわらず、混んであり、抱っこで乗車。きつかったです。幼児席を予約しておけばよかったと後悔しました。

The tour price at 4,700 yen with all entrance fees inclusive plus one free meal is unbeatable. What was unexpected was a free glassware gift and pineapple ice cream! I do recommend the tour to my friends. However, the GPS-guide device does not work well at all. Although it comes with English, Chinese, or Korean, the recordings are only listenable intermittently, which may prevent international travelers from enjoying the journey in full.

I wanted to ride the red buses I saw around the city, so I signed up. I thought the one-day pass was only valid for the day it was exchanged, but it’s actually valid for 24 hours from the time of exchange. I was surprised it was valid until the next day (though I didn’t use it…).

I took two routes: one around the Tokyo Skytree and another around Odaiba. Each route takes about an hour. I was able to get off at the Skytree and stroll around Solamachi.

What surprised me was that the bus runs on the highway. Riding an open-top bus on the Shuto Expressway and crossing the Rainbow Bridge is a rare experience, and I can recommend this ticket just for that.

However, even in late March, it starts to get cold after around 4 PM. I think late April would be a better season. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, but sometimes their voice was too soft or they spoke too quickly, which was a downside.

Also, some bus stops were hard to find and in slightly awkward locations. For example, at Senso-ji Temple, I worried about whether I could reach it after being dropped off there! There might be regulations affecting this, but I hope improvements can be made.

Still, I think it’s fun for even those living in the city to ride just for a bit of a change!

街中で見かける赤いバスに乗ってみたくなって申し込み。
１日券って引き替えた日のみかと思ったら、引き替えた時間から２４時間なんですね。次の日まで有効でびっくり。（使いませんでしたけど…）
スカイツリーをまわるコースとお台場をまわるコースの２つに乗車。１コースおおむね１時間程度ですね。途中でスカイツリー下車をしてソラマチをぶらぶらしたりもできました。
びっくりなのが高速道路を走ること。オープンバスで首都高を走ったり、レインボーブリッジを駆け抜けたりは滅多にできない体験で、これだけでもこのチケットおすすめできちゃいます。
ただ、３月下旬でも１６時過ぎたくらいから寒くなってきます。４月下旬からが良いシーズンかな？
ガイドさんの解説も楽しいけど、声が小さかったり早口すぎたりするのがマイナス。
あと、バス停がわかりにくい＆ちょっと場所が微妙なところがちらほら。浅草寺なんか、あそこで下ろされてたどり着けるのかな！？と入らない心配をしてしまいました。規制などもあるかもしれないけど、改善されると良いですね。
でも、都内在住者でもちょっと話題程度に乗ってみるのも楽しいと思いますよ！
