All Reviews for Churaumi Aquarium

Due to summer vacation, each theme park was extremely crowded. At Pineapple Park, I honestly couldn't take my time to enjoy it and had to rush to buy souvenirs. Even so, my grandchild was very happy and said they had fun. Churaumi Aquarium was also as crowded as expected. Still, my grandchild said they enjoyed it. On Kouri Island, the sea was beautiful. Although we couldn't swim, it was a lovely place. However, I thought that a two-hour drive to the first theme park was a bit too long.

夏休みということもあり、各テーマパークは激混み。パイナップルパークでは正直ゆっくり見るということができず、慌ただしくお土産も慌てて買うような状況。それでも、孫は、楽しかったとおおよろこびでした。美ら海水族館も、予想通り激混み。それでも、やはり孫は楽しかったと言ってました。古宇利島では、綺麗な海。海水浴はできなかったけど、綺麗な所です。
ただ、最初のテーマパークまで2時間は、ちょっと長すぎるかなと思います。

I was able to easily purchase admission tickets for the Churaumi Aquarium. Since they can be exchanged at Naha Airport, I think it's a good idea for those who have already decided to go to buy them in advance.

美ら海水族館の入館チケットを簡単に購入できました。那覇空港で引き換えなので事前に行く事が決まっている人は購入しておいてもいいと思います。

I was grateful that the tour operated even in rainy weather (cloudy with rain).

The bus guide provided a tour of the town and even sang Okinawan songs, making the bus ride enjoyable.

The trip was aimed at visiting the Churaumi Aquarium. Since it was a bit far from Naha and I was concerned about driving due to the impact of Typhoon No. 3, the sightseeing bus tour was a great help.

The efficient sightseeing tour by Veltra was stress-free. I’m glad I chose this for my first experience. I hope they will increase the day trip routes in Okinawa. Thank you to the bus guide and the driver.

雨天(曇りのち雨)でも催行してくれたので助かりました。

バスガイドさんが町並みをガイドしてくれて、沖縄の歌を歌ってくれたりしてバスに乗ってるだけでも楽しめました。

『美ら海水族館』目的の旅でした。
那覇から距離が少しあるのと、台風３号の影響でレンタカーで行くのは不安でしたので観光バスツアーは助かりました。

効率良く観光できるベルトラのツアーはストレスフリーでした。
初めてでしたがお願いしてよかったです。
沖縄日帰りの観光ルートを増やして欲しいです。
バスガイドさん、運転手さんありがとうございました。

The bus took us to the main tourist spots in Okinawa. Since it was my first time visiting Okinawa, I made a reservation because I wanted to go to various places.

It was a long journey since we boarded from Naha, but I enjoyed the bus guide's explanations and the scenery of Okinawa from the bus! I was a bit worried about not having time for lunch, but I was able to snack on some food at the stops, so it turned out fine even without a designated lunch time. I had some sata andagi and pineapple, among other things.

Although the weather was cloudy due to a typhoon, I was amazed by the color of the sea! I had gone snorkeling the day before, so I enjoyed seeing "the fish I saw yesterday!" at the aquarium!

I think researching the places we stopped at would make it even more enjoyable. Thank you very much!

バスで沖縄の主要な観光地に連れて行ってくれます。沖縄へ初めて訪れるのでいろいろな場所に行きたいなと思い予約しました。
那覇から乗車でしたので長旅にはなりましたが、バスガイドさんの説明や車内から沖縄の景色を楽しめました！
お昼ご飯を食べる時間が予定になく、どうなるかなと思っていましたが、立ち寄るところでちょこちょこ食べていたら、お昼ご飯の時間がなくても大丈夫でした。サンダーアンダギーやパイナップルなどなど食べました。
台風が来ていたので、天気は曇りでしたが、海の色に感動しました！
前日にシュノーケリングをしたので、水族館では「昨日見た魚がいる！」と楽しめました！
立ち寄る場所は、どんなところか調べているともっと楽しめると思います♪
ありがとうございました！

It takes over two hours to drive from Naha City to the Churaumi Aquarium by rental car, and I thought the fatigue from driving would increase, so I decided to book a tour this time. With the tour, the driver handled the driving, and they also took us to various other sightseeing spots besides Churaumi, which made it even more enjoyable. The tour guide was very attentive to the participants, which further increased my satisfaction. I would like to use this service again. Thank you for this experience.

那覇市から美ら海水族館までレンタカー借りて運転だと所要2時間以上、
運転する事による疲労が増すと思い、今回ツアーを申し込みました。
ツアーであれば、運転はドライバーがしてくれてまた、美ら海以外の
いろいろな観光スポットも連れていってくれるので、更に楽しむ事が出来ました。ツアーガイドさんも参加者に寄り添うツアーガイドをしてくださり
満足度が更に増しました。また利用したいです。今回はありがとうございました。

When we boarded the bus, we were mistakenly given the wrong seat numbers, and the overseas guests who were supposed to sit there were confused. We felt bad for them, so after visiting the aquarium, we switched seats. On Jeju Island, it was raining heavily, and if we had just waited a little longer, it would have cleared up, which was really disappointing. In the end, the drop-off point was changed without notice, and we were dropped off in an unfamiliar place, which caused us some trouble, and we ended up walking a lot more than planned!

The tour included all the places we wanted to visit, but the locations where the bus stopped were far away, which unexpectedly took a lot of time. Given that, it felt like a waste to try to see everything in such a short time, including the time spent traveling.

バスに乗る時の席の番号を間違えて教えられ　座るはずの海外の方が困っていた。私達も居た堪れず水族館の後　乗り込んだ時に席をチェンジした。古字利島では大雨で少し待ってくれたら晴れたのに物凄く残念。最後　降ろされる所を勝手に変更され　降ろされ　知らない土地で困りましたし　予定外にかなり歩いた！
ツアーの内容は行きたい所ばかりだったが　バスの止めてある場所が遠かったりで予想外に時間かかりその時間含めての短い時間で見るのは大変もったないかとおもいます。

I appreciate the consideration of the tour guide. It was extremely challenging due to the sudden thunderstorm, but I was able to endure it.

ツアーの添乗員の方の気遣いに感謝します。突然の雷雨のため物凄く大変でしたが我慢することができました。

I searched for a tour that could be done even in the rain and booked this one! I was able to visit many places in one day and thoroughly enjoyed it! The bus guide was also very kind. Thank you!

雨でもできるツアーを探しこちらを予約しました！
一日で沢山周れて行きたいところに行けて満喫できました！
バスガイドさんも親切でした。ありがとございました！

Since we participated from Naha, we departed just after 8:20 and disbanded close to 8 in the evening. I would like to reduce the number of sightseeing spots along the way and focus on the Churaumi Aquarium as the main attraction, which would be sufficient for satisfaction. A nearly 12-hour duration is tiring.

那覇から参加だったので８時20分過ぎから出発、夜も８時近くに解散。
途中の見学地、少し減らし、美ら海水族館メインのツアーで十分満足という設定にしてほしい。
12時間近い所要時間は疲れる

I didn't find Ryukyu Village necessary. It was an old facility with not much to see. If the ticket price is 2,000 yen, I would have preferred to either reduce the tour cost or allow more time to stay at Banta Cafe. While it might be worth it for foreigners, I felt it wasn't a tourist spot worth visiting without a tour, as it seemed deserted. The spots where I could feel the nature and grandeur, like Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, and Banta Cafe, were enough. The time spent there was too long and tiring. The bus guide was good.

琉球村はいらなかった。古い施設であまり観るものもなかった。チケット代2000円もするなら、この分ツアー代を安くするか、その時間をバンタカフェで長く滞在させて欲しかったです。外国人ならまだしもツアーでないと、さびれててわざわざ行く観光スポットでは無いと感じた。美ら海水族館や万座毛、バンタカフェの自然や雄大さを感じれるスポットだけで良かった。時間も長過ぎて疲れた。バスガイドさんは良かった。

I entered through Parking Lot 7, which is the closest to the aquarium, but I'm feeling exhausted from the heat. The vending machines are almost sold out. It's better to secure some hydration in advance. The indoor exhibits are cool and pleasant. If you think about taking a break at the café, it's advisable to make a reservation beforehand due to the wait time.

水族館から一番近いパーキング7番から入場したが、　暑さのためくたばりそう。
自販機は、ほぼ売り切れ。水分は少しは確保しておいた方がよい。
館内の見学は、涼しいので穏やか。
ちょっと一息、カフェでもと思っても待ち時間があるので、先に予約しておいた方がよい。

The bus guide provided various information, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing very much. When I travel to Okinawa again, I would like to use a bus tour to visit different places.

バスガイドさんも、色々案内していただき、非常に楽しく観光することができました。
また、沖縄に旅行に行くときは、別の場所を観光するバスツアーがあれば利用したいと思います。

As a resident of Naha City, I took my friend, who came to visit Okinawa, on this bus tour for the first time. In Okinawa, which is a car-centric society, there may be some discrepancies in sightseeing time due to traffic conditions, but I think this is a very convenient and reasonable way to explore various tourist spots in one day at this price. The weather was nice, and the sea was beautiful, so my friend was satisfied and happy. The female tour conductor was also working very hard, which I found very admirable. However, there were many foreign participants, and perhaps due to cultural differences, there were a few who did not adhere to the meeting time. It was quite unfortunate to see the tour conductor running around and making phone calls each time this happened.

那覇市在住の者で、今回沖縄観光で此方へ遊びに来た友人を連れて初めてこちらのバスツアーを利用しました。
車社会の沖縄において、道路の混み具合によっては多少観光時間に誤差が生じる事もあるでしょうが、この値段で1日で色んな観光地を回れるなら、沖縄では大変便利でリーズナブルな観光手段だと思います。
天気も良く、海も美しかったので、友人も満足して喜んでいました。
ツアーコンダクターの女性の方も一生懸命に仕事をされていて、非常に好感が持てました。
ただ、参加者に外国人の方も多くいらして、そのお国柄なのか、集合時間を守らない方がちらほらいらしたので、その都度ツアコンの女性が走り回ったり、電話をかけまくったりする姿を見るととても気の毒でした。

I participated in the tour on July 19. The facilities, including the aquarium, were great, but the red sweet potato tart from the snack shop recommended by the guide, as well as the sata andagi from Sanya Honpo that we had at Manzamo, were delicious! Thank you to the guide!

7/19のツアーに参加しました。
水族館などの施設も良かったけど、ガイドさんがおすすめしてくれたお菓子御殿の紅いも生タルトや万座毛で食べた三矢本舗のサーターアンダギー、ミキボウルが美味しかった！
ガイドさんありがとうございました！

This plan, which allows you to visit the iconic tourist spots of Okinawa in one day, was very enjoyable for me as a beginner in Okinawa. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I believe I gained a deeper understanding of Okinawa. The views from the bus window were outstanding, and it was enjoyable no matter which side you sat on. It was also lucky that we happened to see fighter jets flying, possibly due to some training that day. The whale sharks at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium were impressive and wonderful, but personally, I found the manatees to be so cute that I want to visit them again.

ザ・沖縄といった観光名所を一日で周れるこのプランは、沖縄初心者のわたしにはとても楽しめました。バスガイドさんのお話もとても聞きやすく、沖縄への理解を深められたと思います。車窓からの景色は抜群で、左右どちらに座っても楽しめるようになっていました。この日はたまたま訓練をしていたのか、戦闘機が飛ぶ様を見れたのもラッキーでした。美ら海水族館のジンベエザメも迫力があって素敵でしたが、個人的にはマナティーが可愛くてまた会いに行きたいなと思いました。

I like aquariums and visit them occasionally, but that large tank was truly impressive. Other aquariums have manta rays, but the ones here were bigger. Since it was a bus tour, I wished I could have taken a bit more time to enjoy it.

水族館は好きで時々いきますが、あの大水槽は大迫力でした。他の水族館にもマンタはいますがここのは大きかった。バスツアーだったので、もう少しゆっきり見たかったと思いました。

I had always wanted to go at least once in my lifetime, so I was very satisfied that my wish came true. The sight of the colorful fish swimming, unique to the Churaumi Aquarium, was truly wonderful.

一生に一度は行きたいと思っていたので、念願が叶いとても満足しました。美ら海水族館ならではの、カラフルな魚たちが泳いでる姿はとても良かったです。

The guide talked about war and military-related topics, and the atmosphere on the bus was quite dark, which dampened my excited mood. Overall, the course was busy but still somewhat enjoyable.

戦争や軍備関連のはなしをするガイドさんで、結構行きのバスの雰囲気は暗く、ワクワクしていた気分が落ち込んでしまった。
コース全体の内容は、忙しいけどまぁまぁ楽しめた。

This tour is very convenient and enjoyable, as it takes you around several sightseeing spots just by riding the bus from Naha City to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The tour guide was kind and very considerate, sharing information about Okinawa's history and culture that made for a great learning experience.

Although the schedule was a bit tight due to the packed itinerary, leaving little time for a leisurely lunch, it was still a very fun tour.

那覇市内から美ら海水族館を中心にバスに乗っているだけで、いくつかの観光スポットを回ってくれるので、とっても楽ちんで便利なツアーです。ツアーガイドさんは優しくとても気遣いのある方で、沖縄の文化や外の風景に合わせて沖縄の歴史などもバス内でお話ししてくださって勉強になります。

いろいろな箇所を詰め込んでくれているため、少しスケジュールがきつくゆっくりランチを取る余裕はありませんでしたが、とても楽しいツアーでした。

I visit Okinawa every year, but this was my first time at the Churaumi Aquarium. There was a discount for purchasing tickets in advance. Since I could pick them up at Naha Airport, I was able to enter right away without waiting, which was very smooth. There are many colorful fish to see, but the smaller tanks were crowded, so I could hardly see anything. The large tank with the whale shark was impressive and great. The parking lot requires some walking, so I think an umbrella is necessary!

毎年沖縄へいきますが美ら海水族館は初めてでした。事前にチケットを購入すると割引がありました。また那覇空港で受け取れるので現地では待たずにすぐに入れてとてもスムーズでした。たくさんのカラフルな魚が見れますが小さな水槽は人が多くてほとんど見れませんでした。大きな水槽のシンベイザメが大迫力で良かったです。駐車場は歩くので日傘はいると思います！

I had been looking forward to my trip to Okinawa, but it was quite challenging for members who couldn't drive! Usually, we reluctantly opt for a tour with a guide, but in Okinawa, many schedules have you arriving in the evening and leaving in the morning, which feels wasteful. So, I booked a hotel and flights through a travel agency and signed up for a one-day tour in the middle of my stay. They picked me up at 9 AM from my hotel in Chatan and dropped me back off, which was really convenient! The places I wanted to visit were all included, making it perfect for someone who can't drive! I stayed at a hotel in Chatan for multiple nights, but reflecting on it, if I had arranged for the pickup from the Chatan hotel and the drop-off at a hotel in Naha for the return, it would have made the last day's travel much easier. While tours with a guide are cheaper and allow for sightseeing at various places, the airplane seats can be separated, and the hotel quality can be significantly lower... This time was really good, so I would like to use this service again!

The weather in Okinawa was unpredictable; it was sunny one moment and then cloudy or rainy the next. This was not the tour's fault at all, but if we could have done indoor sightseeing first or had more flexibility with the weather and time, it would have been perfect. I was especially looking forward to Kouri Island, but I was saddened to be caught in the rain there temporarily. The guide was also very engaging and made the trip enjoyable. I would like to use this service again, so thank you!

行きたかった沖縄旅行、運転できないメンバーにはなかなかハードルが高くて！いつもは仕方なく添乗員同行ツアーにするのですが、沖縄だと夕方ついて帰りも午前中帰るスケジュールが多くもったいないのでホテルと飛行機を旅行会社でとり、中日にこちらの1日ツアーを申し込みました。9時に北谷のホテルからピックアップ、帰りもホテルまで送ってくれるので本当に楽でした！行きたかった場所もしっかり入っていて、運転できない身としては神！北谷のホテルに連泊したのですが、このツアーを使うなら、北谷のホテルでピックアップしてもらって、帰りは那覇のホテルに送ってもらう、にしたら最終日の移動がもっと楽だったなぁ、などと反省。添乗員同行ツアーだと安くてあちこち観光に行けるけど飛行機の座席が離れたり、ホテルのランクがかなり下だったり…で。今回とても良かったのでまた利用したいと思いました！
沖縄の天気は気まぐれで晴れていたのに雲がかかったりスコールが通ったり。ツアーのせいではまったくないのですが、室内観光を先にしたり天気と時間の融通がきいたら満点です。1番楽しみにしていた古宇利島だけ一時的に雨に降られてしまって悲しかったので。
ガイドさんもいろいろ話してくれて楽しい旅が出来ました。また利用したいと思いますのでよろしくお願いします。

Good trip to discover the island of Okinawa and the aquarium - more material in English needed as the audioguides had insufficient info and connection. Very nice guide for japanese speaking visitors.

The weather was favorable, and we had plenty of time at our stop. However, I didn't check the start time for the dolphin show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in advance, so when we arrived, it was already nearing the end. Since our stay at the aquarium was only two hours, including lunch, it would have been wiser to limit our time exploring the exhibits and head straight to the highlight, the dolphin show.

For those who are not primarily interested in shopping, the stop at the Okashi Goten may not be appealing. The English-speaking guide was full of hospitality. The driver also assisted the guide, showcasing great teamwork. It was unfortunate to see some participants from the Chinese-speaking region frequently arriving late for the gathering.

天候に恵まれ、立ち寄り先の滞在時間は十分でした。ただ、美ら海水族館のイルカショーの開始時間を前もってチェックしておかなかったので、駆けつけた時は既に終了間際でした。昼食時間を入れて水族館の滞在は2時間のため、館内見学はほどほどにして、目玉のイルカショーに向かった方が賢明です。
ツアー参加が、買い物メインでない人には、御菓子御殿の立ち寄りは興味がないところでしょう。英日喋るガイドさんはホスピタリティーに溢れていました。ドライバーさんもガイドさんを補助されて、チームワークの良さが見えました。中華圏の参加者で、よく遅れて集合する人達が散見されたのは残念でした。

It was the rainy season, so it rained on the day of the bus tour as well. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Manzamo, but we had a great time at Pineapple Park and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It was also raining at Pineapple Park, but we could ride small cars around the pineapple fields, so the kids enjoyed themselves regardless of the rain. The tour guide shared a lot of information about Okinawa on the bus, making the ride enjoyable too.

梅雨の時期だったので、バスツアー当日も雨でした。残念ながら万座毛には行けずでしたが、パイナップルパーク、美ら海水族館で楽しめたので良かったです。パイナップルパークでも雨でしたが、雨でも園内は小さい車に乗ってパイナップル園を回れるので子ども達は雨関係なしに楽しんでて良かったです。バスでは添乗員さんが沖縄について色々と話してくれるので、バスの中も楽しかったです。

I definitely recommend the bus tour. I didn't rent a car so I was looking for things to do... the bus tour took us to 5 different attractions. It was great, didn't need to worry about driving and even fell asleep on the way back after all the walking all day. Just do it, you won't regret it! A+! I even booked another 3 attraction bus tour for a different day. If you are thinking about going, think no more and just book the bus tour. Thanks Phil

It was my first time in Okinawa, but it rained heavily throughout my stay. Please expect rain during June. Since I was traveling alone, I initially planned to use the highway bus for sightseeing, but I happened to find this site and joined the tour. The highlight of the tour was definitely the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. My impression is that it's a must-visit; I felt like I didn't have enough time to see everything. Even for someone like me who rarely uses a camera, I found it worth taking photos. The only downside was that the schedule didn't run on time. I didn't mind since I had no plans, but due to the rain, the final dispersal time was delayed by about an hour, so those with plans afterward should be cautious. Also, for Nago Pineapple Park, it might be a good idea to bring insect repellent and anti-itch cream, as the humidity was high, and I got bitten too much, leaving my arms in bad shape.

初めての沖縄でしたが滞在中はすべて大雨、６月の時期は雨が当たり前と思ってください。自身は一人での旅行だったため、最初は高速バスを使って観光をする予定でしたがたまたまこのサイトを見つけて参加しました、参加の大きなポイントはやはり美ら海水族館です。感想は一度は訪れないと損をするレベルで時間が足りないぐらいでした、カメラをほとんど使わない自分でもカメラで撮影するほどよかったです、欠点という欠点は時間通りには進まなかった事です、自分は予定がなかったので別に気にならなかったですが雨もあって最終解散時刻が一時間ほど遅れましたので参加後に予定を入れている人は要注意です。後ナゴパイナップルパークは虫よけ、かゆみ止めは持って行ったほうがいいかも丁度湿度が高い時だったため虫に刺され過ぎて腕がひどいことになりました。

It was great that the sightseeing highlights were well covered and that we could move efficiently by bus.

I also appreciated that the guide supported me to ensure I was comfortable and could enjoy the experience.

観光の見どころが抑えてあり
効率よくバスで移動できてよかったです。

ガイドさんが、少しでも私が快適に、また楽しめるようサポートしてくれたことも良かったです。

It was great! Having no one in the seat next to me made it even better, as I could enjoy the view outside and the tourist attractions without any unnecessary worries!

良かったです！
隣の座席に人がいなかったのも、更によく、余計な気を遣わずに、外の景色や観光施設を楽しめました！

We are a family that doesn't like to wait around, so we opted for a quick method. Plus, it ends up being cheaper, which is a win for us.

ちんたら待つのがいやな家族なので、スパッと入れる方法を取りました。おまけに安くなるしうちとしては◯です。

Churaumi Aquarium was an area more enjoyable than I had imagined. The Pineapple Park we stopped by along the way was also a very nice area.

美ら海水族館、想像以上に楽しいエリアでした。そして途中立ち寄りのパイナップルパークもとても良いエリアでした。
