Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Good enough

Reviewed by: Wong, 2019/05/12

Maybe a bit rush but covers many places. Good enough. Lunch is so so, better to buy your own at the lunch location. There are good food there. Friendly guide but as the tour stated, only speak in Japanese.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

generally good

Reviewed by: ryan, 2019/05/07

booking was fast and easy even if the tour was during golden week (i had problems with other tour apps during those time)
the bus late for a few minutes (understandable because it was golden week)
the tour was very nice! we were able to spend enough time to visit the whole aquarium. unfortunately because of heavy traffic, we were not able to go to the butterfly garden.

price was affordable as compared to doing it yourself. there was a japanese tour guide well enough to understand and speak a few english. he instructions were clear and there were alloted times per area.

美ら海水族館観光バスツアー 古宇利島+御菓子御殿+ナゴパイナップルパークをめぐる1日観光<入場券付き/那覇市・宜野湾・北谷・恩納村発/3歳以下無料>

安くても十分に楽しめました。

Reviewed by: ざっきー, 2019/05/04

入館料と往復の交通費を考えれば、4900円という価格は良心的です。
往路は、バスガイドさんが熱心に沖縄文化を案内してくださいました。
ハナサキマルシェ、パイナップルパーク、御菓子御殿にも立ち寄りましたが、オマケみたいなものでした。
美ら海水族館の滞在時間は3時間ですので、さすがに広い館内の全部は見きれませんが、イルカショーやジンベイザメなどのメインどころは十分に楽しめました。

水族館はさいこ~

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2019/04/17

水族館に行きたくてこのツアーに参加。
水族館での時間は3時間ありますので、ゆっくりできます。
改めてジンベイザメの大きさや、おきちゃん劇場に感動しました。

その前の名護パイナップルパークは、見るところは別途料金がさらに必要、新たにできた商業施設でランチ+自由時間でしたが、商業施設はほとんど未開店(工事がおいついていない!?)、ランチはお世辞にもおいしいとは言えず、、、ならば、先日までの琉宮城+沖縄そばのほうが、沖縄らしくて良いのではないだろうか。。。。(車中で、この件をクレーム言っていたグループは、そちらへ行ったみたいですが。。。)

娘と二人旅で参加

Reviewed by: こつこつ, 2019/04/04

二人旅で、レンタカーと迷いましたが、ホテルまで送迎付きでしたので参加させていただきました。パイナップルパークはゆっくり見ていると時間がなくなるため、サクッと回りました。試飲、試食はたくさんできました。昼食は、ん?これ?ホットサンド。冷え冷えでこれで昼食付きとはうたっては、皆さんこれが?と思われたかもです。美ら海水族館は、3時間があっという間で、とても楽しめました。
お菓子御殿は観光地のお土産やさん。との感じでした。
運転手さん、ガイドさんは笑顔で感じは良かったです。充実した1日になりました。ありがとうございました。

沖縄の有名な観光場所を見て回るのには手頃で良かったです。
パイナップルパークは園内を回っていると時間がなくなるので、園内見学をパスしてジュースの試飲やショッピングに時間をあてました。
美ら海水族館は2回目ですが、マンタやジンベイザメが悠然と泳いでいるのは見応えがありました。海洋博公園は、水族館以外にも見るところがいろいろとあるので、3時間でも短いくらいでした。
海洋博公園だけでも一日見て回れると思います。

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

It was bad..

Reviewed by: Jasmine from Osaka, 2018/12/30

The tour itself was fine but most people going from Naha have to be ready to waste 2-3 hours picking up people in other areas before actually going to the attractions. (Same with going back home)

The bus driver was rude af and racist towards the foreigners.

At first I thought the guide was fine but then oops nope changed my mind. In the aquarium it was very windy and we had to stop 3 times in random places outside the building to hear her explanation in Japanese so its like wasting 20-30 minutes while having yourself blown by the strong wind.

And when she distributed the ticket, she called in all of the Japanese passengers first by their names and after all the Japanese have their tickets. She gestured to all the foreigners to come to her and get the tickets by ourselves. Which is very rude and racist.

The tour says it will provide english, chinese and korean guides throughout the whole day but none. Only some random english tapes are played and the guide talks in Japanese a lot throughout the day.

And mind you 60% of the people who joined are foreigners and only 20% speaks English. I genuinely feel sorry for the Chinese and Korean who comes to the tour thinking it will provide them with some guides but no.

Also the bus driver, he makes noises from inside the bus every 5 minutes before the departure time at each spot as if reminding us to hurry up. And he talks to the tourguide keep blaming how the "foreigners" are slow blablabla probably thinking "foreigners" don't understand Japanese.

The bus driver is very racist and rude also the whole tour is just okay.

Went by another company the next day and was surprised at how interactive the guide was plus it was 100 times wayyy better.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Good for easy access to Churaumi Aquarium

Reviewed by: Alex, 2018/11/20

Positives:
1) Comfortable access to Churaumi Aquarium without worrying about bus connections
2) Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide & bus driver (only in Japanese)
3) Sightseeing places I wouldn't otherwise visit if I were to travel on my own

Negatives:
1) Long pick up & drop offs add an extra 5 hours to my tour experience (I was first on & last off)
2) Some places feel rushed cos other travellers did not keep to the meet up times
3) Old coach so not the best ventilation

Impression: This tour does take the hassle out of using public transportation & brings you to hard to reach places but be prepared to be waiting around for other people & to be transported around in a stuffy old coach.

Advice: 1) Give yourself plenty of time - a full day for the tour. 2) Do this tour during Spring or Autumn (cooler months).

Pros and cons

Reviewed by: Pros and cons review, 2018/11/04

Pros: we did not have to rent a car. Aquarium was outstanding.
Cons: Because the bus stopped at a some six hotels along the coast to pick up and drop off passengers it took about 4 hours to travel from the aquarium back to our hotel at 8:00pm.

Reviewed by: Rock Family, 2018/06/27

We are a Family traveling with two young kids. We had a great time going from site to site and then finally to the Aquarium. Pineapple Park and the Butterfly Garden were both hits with the kids. Aquarium was incredible.

Tour guide speaks Japanese only. Guide ensures non-Japanese speakers have audio guides. Audio guides are okay.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

See a lot in one day

Reviewed by: Michelle Meas, 2018/06/11

This tour was really good for visiting many places in one day at a really inexpensive price. I went to four really interesting spots.
While there was an English audio guide on the bus, it wasn't that good and the actual guide doesn't speak English. Which is fine because you don't necessarily need that because most of the location had employees that do speak some English. Also the tour guide sang a few, what I assume, traditional Ryukyu songs.
I wish I had more time in some places and less in others, but like I said for the price it can't be beat. Just be prepared for a long bus ride.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Fun time, bring your own snacks

Reviewed by: Kelly, 2018/05/18

The Good:
Overall a very good time, had lots of fun at all 3 attractions, though I would have loved more time to spend at the Charaumi Aquarium.

I really do recommend the butterfly garden--even if you can't book this tour, that was a really lovely experience, would have loved to spend more time there as well.

Despite the "English Audio" label, neither tour guide or driver could really speak or understand English, but the trip still went really smoothly despite that. I think I missed some extra info (like special highlights of the area, or feeding times for the animals), but the tour guide was really nice, and really tried to be helpful despite the language gap.

The Bad:
My trip started at 8AM when the bus picked me up and ended at 6PM, and while the trip hit 4 different gift stores, they mainly sell a wide variety of sweets. Lunch wound up being a bowl of ramen soup--tasty, but it's not enough to cover breakfast and dinner together.

I didn't like the final gift store that was part of the "free little gift" package, where we got a free cookie with any other purchase, because by the end of the day I was ready for my hotel and real food. However--and I'm assuming the tour company was getting a kick-back from the store--we were parked there for 30 minutes, and after 10 minutes 90% of the group was sitting on the bus waiting to leave.

I realize "dumping tourists in a gift-store" is a common business practice, but when you're inconveniencing and irritating most of your guests, you should probably stop it.

This was the perfect tour to see many sites in northern Okinawa esp since we did not rent a car. It is very good value for your money. The time spent at the pineapple park is a bit short but sufficient to see the gift shop. We have seen the dole plantation so was ok with the time.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Great tour

Reviewed by: Leo, 2018/03/25

This tour was great for accomplishing a lot in one day. The free food was of good quality and there are many chances to get souvenirs. It's a great deal since travelling in Okinawa can be quite complicated and expensive, especially since the bus routes aren't available on Google Maps. This tour was good compared to others because you have 3 hours to explore the aquarium and its surrounding attractions; any less and you'd be in a rush. The tour guide was also very kind and did some great singing of Okinawan songs! The tour is in Japanese with English audio guides; if you are learning Japanese and want to try and listen to the Japanese explanations, the language was quite complicated, so I recommend the audio guide as a backup.
