All Reviews for Okinawa Bus Tours

I almost went around the whole island, and it was an amazing trip with fantastic weather. Since the weather on the island can change unexpectedly, two nights is enough to enjoy various places around the island.

ほぼ一周した、めちゃくちゃ良かった天気で、最高の旅でした。島の天気で、いつか変わるか珍しく無いので、二泊で、充分島のあちこち味わってもらって頂けると思います。

The day before, it was raining on and off, but on this day, there was wind, and it was sunny with beautiful colors in the sea. During the mangrove tour, I enjoyed the guide's fun stories and explanations about the types of mangroves. It was something I don't get to see often, so I'm glad I came. It turned out to be an amazing day.

前日は雨が降ったりやんだり、この日は風はあるけど晴れて海の色も綺麗でした
マングローブのでは、ガイドさんの楽しい話しとマングローブの種類の説明を聞いて楽しかったしなかなか見られるものでは無いので来て良かった
最高な日になりました。

The tour participants were a mix of Japanese and international guests. The guide was fluent in English, so I think the overseas guests had no difficulties. I have visited Okinawa many times, but I rarely get to go to the northern part, so it was a great tour.

We arrived at the Minato Kunigami Port Shokudo around 10:30, but since it opened at 11:00, we could only kill time wandering around the beach in front of the restaurant. The lunch was a hearty set meal, so I ended up quite full.

The weather wasn't great, and I was worried about getting caught in the rain during the Asumui Hikes, but it cleared up partway through, which was a relief. We walked over rocky and uneven terrain, so it would have been slippery if it had rained. I think it would be quite a hard path for elderly people or those with weak legs. The scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the sounds of birds chirping, the rustling of trees and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers. You can take your time walking or speed up to see everything. Although I didn't get to see the Okinawa Rail, there weren't any noisy participants in the tour, so I could enjoy the quiet sounds of nature and the fresh air.

On this day, the restroom breaks were at the Roadside Station Kyoda on the way there and at the Igei Service Area on the way back. The Roadside Station Kyoda is spacious, but you have to walk from the restroom to the souvenir shop, so shopping might not be feasible. I thought it would have been nice if we could stop at the small shop at Igei. I wish they could have scheduled some shopping time at both Kyoda and the service area, as that would have made it even more enjoyable. We also went to Cape Hedo, but the large statue of the Okinawa Rail was located a bit far away, so we couldn't see it up close (what a shame).

Fortunately, we managed to return to Naha City around 6:30 PM without getting caught in any traffic. Since it was a tour, we adhered strictly to the schedule. Everyone participating was punctual, so everything went smoothly. It was a full-day tour, but we were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner in Naha City at night, making it a fulfilling day.

ツアー参加者は日本の方と海外の方と混在でした。
ガイドの方は英語が堪能なので海外の方も不自由ではなかったかと思います。
沖縄には何度も訪問していますが、なかなか北部までは行くことが出来ないので良いツアーでした。

みなと国頭港食堂には１０時半頃着いてしまい、１１時～とのことだったので食堂前のビーチをうろうろするくらいしか時間を潰せませんでした。
お昼ご飯はしっかり定食でしたのでおなかがいっぱいになりました。

天候がいまいちだったのでアスムイハイクスで雨に降られたらどうしようと思いましたが、途中から晴れてきたので良かったです。
岩場や足場の悪いところを歩いて行くので、雨が降ったら滑りそうでした。
年配の方や足腰の弱い方は結構ハードな道だと思います。
景観も素晴らしいですが、鳥のさえずりや木々や葉の音、花の香りも楽しめます。
ゆっくり歩くもよし、早歩きで全部を回るもよしです。
ヤンバルクイナにはもちろん逢えませんでしたが、ツアー参加の方も騒がしい方が居なかったので、ゆっくり静かな自然の音や空気を楽しむことが出来ました。

この日のトイレ休憩は往路が道の駅許田、復路が伊芸ＳＡでした。
道の駅許田は広いしトイレから土産物店まで歩いて行かないといけないので買い物はダメでしょうが、伊芸は小さいので売店に寄らせてくれても良いのにな…と、ここだけお願いポイントでした。許田もＳＡも買い物時間含めてスケジュールを組んでくれたら、また楽しいのになと思いました。
あとは辺戸岬に行ったけれど、大きいヤンバルクイナの像はチョット離れたところにあるので、近くで見られませんでした（残念）

運良く何処でも渋滞にも巻き込まれずに那覇市内に１８時半頃には戻ってこれました。
ツアーなので時間厳守で進みました。参加された方が皆さん厳守されていたので順調にすすみました。
１日ツアーでしたが夜は那覇市内でゆっくりご飯が食べられるので充実の１日となりました。

I was actually worried that I might not have enough time or that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I was tired, but the bus guide was kind and made the departure times easy to understand and very helpful!

実際時間足りないかも、とか疲れてて楽しめないかなって思ってたけど
バスガイドさん優しくて出発時刻とかも分かりやすくて親切だった！

After making a web reservation, the ticket reception and boarding for the ferry and bus were smooth. The water buffalo was a good and cute one. If the weather had been nice, it would have been the best experience. Thank you very much.

WEB予約後、チケット受付もフェリーやバス乗車もスムーズ。水牛は良い子で可愛かったです。
天気が良ければ最高の体験でしたね。
ありがとうございまさした。

The weather was nice during the mangrove tour, and since we were on the first boat, there were no waves, and the water surface looked like a mirror, reflecting the trees beautifully. I was very moved and was able to take some stunning photos.

On the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed hearing stories about the water buffalo and the island from our guide, making the journey fun.

For lunch, I had local food, but it didn't quite suit my taste.

In Taketomi Island, we toured by bus, but the time was short and it felt rushed; I wished we had more time.

マングローブ遊覧で天気が良く先頭の船だったので、波も無く水面が鏡の様で木々が水面に映り、美しい写真が撮れてとても感動しました
水牛車は、ガイドさんから水牛や島の話しを聞き楽しく移動が出来ました
昼食は地元の物を食べれたがあまり口に合わなかった
竹富島ではバス観光で廻ったが、時間が短く忙しなくもっと時間が欲しかった

This time, I had a wonderful trip thanks to an amazing female guide. I appreciate her detailed guidance and consideration for my health, which helped me manage my condition perfectly.

The bus tour to the place was even more wonderful than I imagined, and it was very meaningful without any time loss.

If I had to wish for something, I would like to spend more time at the location, but I understand that the congestion on the way back is quite severe, so I am satisfied.

今回は素晴らしい女性のガイド様に出会えて大変素晴らしい旅になりました。
きめ細やかなご案内、時間の周知のおかげで、体調管理にも万全のご配慮をいただき感謝します。

想像以上に素晴らしい場所へのバスツアーは、
時間的なロスもなく、大変有意義でした。

欲を言えば、現地でゆっくり過ごしたいですが、
やはり帰路の混雑が凄いので、納得しております。

This tour is very time-efficient as it allows you to visit places that are not easily accessible by public transportation, and it also prepares everything for you, such as ticket purchases, without the need to wait in line.

なかなか、公共の交通機関ではいけない場所を効率的にまわれ、またチケット購入など並ぶ事なく準備していただけるこのツアーは大変時間的な効率も良いです。

It was very good. I understood the meeting place, but the vehicle on the day was not the Celulian Blue-wrapped bus that was mentioned as a landmark. The guide was calling out the names of the participants, but their voices were mostly drowned out by the noise of passing cars, which caused a delay in the participants' responses and made the gathering take longer than expected. The tour went smoothly, but there were some people who were late each time for the meeting. The guide was very kind and always had a lovely smile. The driver also drove safely, and I truly appreciate their hard work. It was a great trip. If I have the opportunity again, I will definitely use your services. Thank you very much.

とても良かったです。集合場所は分かりましたが当日の車両が、目印と書いてあった、セルリアンブルーさんのラッピングバスではなかったのと、ガイドさんはずっと参加者の名前を呼んでくれていましたが、通行している車の音にかき消されて、ほとんど聞こえなかったため参加者の反応が遅れ、集合に時間が掛かったように思います。ツアーは順調でしたが、集合時間に毎回遅れる方がいました。ガイドさんはとても親切で、いつも笑顔で素敵でした。ドライバーさんも安全運転で本当にお疲れ様でした。良い旅行になりました。また機会がありましたら利用させて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。

The guide was very good, but the lunch was the worst. The food was acceptable, but the rice was either too old or had been left out for too long; it was cold and hard, and it was terrible.

ガイドさんはとても良かったですが
お昼の食事が最悪でした。
料理は許せるが、お米が時間が経ち過ぎていたのか、冷たく、固くなっていて、最悪でした

We were pulled by a cute water buffalo, and the guide shared interesting and amusing stories about Taketomi Island. It was a wonderful experience where we could feel the flow of time on the island.

可愛い水牛に引っ張ってもらって、ガイドさんが竹富島の説明を面白おかしくお話してくれます。島の時の流れが感じられ、素敵な体験でした。

We took a walk around the village while receiving explanations! It was great to explore Taketomi Island and learn about its charm rather than just visiting as a tourist! Although it was unfortunately rainy, we still enjoyed the water buffalo!

説明をしてもらいながら集落を散歩しました！観光でくるより竹富島なら良さを知りながら回れたのでよかったです！あいにくの雨でしたが水牛は楽しめました！！

I was looking forward to the tour, but unfortunately, it rained...
Riding a bike in a poncho on Taketomi Island was tough.
Surprisingly, the bike tires got stuck in the sand.
However, the ride on the ox cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu was fun.
The water buffaloes were working hard.
Also, the bus driver's stories during the ride were entertaining.
Even with the bad weather, it was a tour that I enjoyed in its own way.
Thank you very much.

楽しみにしてたツアーですが、生憎の雨・・・。
竹富島では、ポンチョ着てのチャリは、しんどい。
意外に砂地にチャリのタイヤが取られる。
でも、西表島⇒由布の牛車は楽しかった。
水牛さんたちが頑張ってました。
また、移動のバスの運転手さんのお話が面白かったです。
天候が悪くてもそれはそれで楽しめたツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

After touring around Ishigaki Island, we were dropped off at the airport, so we scheduled our flight for the evening to participate. We were able to visit places that are difficult to explore on our own, such as the limestone caves and Kabira Bay. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and we had a wonderful time filled with laughter.

石垣島の島内を観光した後に空港で降ろしてもらえるので、飛行機の時間を夕方に設定して参加しました。
自分達で巡るのは困難な鍾乳洞、川平湾などを巡ることができました。
ガイドさんのお話が楽しく笑いっぱなしの素敵な時間でした。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since renting a car would be a waste for just one person, I joined a bus tour. The whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. At the café in front of the aquarium, you can enjoy a meal while watching the fish. I also opted for the steak full course, which was delicious.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、レンタカーは一人だともったいないのでバスツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館のジンベイサメは素晴らしかったです。水槽の前のカフェでは食事しながら魚がみれます。またステーキフルコース付きにしたので美味しかったです。

I'm glad I was taken to the Churaumi Aquarium and Manzamo, which are difficult to reach without a car. The Pineapple Park was also larger than I expected, and I had a great time there.

車がないと行きづらい美ら海水族館や万座毛に連れて行ってもらえて良かったです。
パイナップルパークも思っていたより広くて楽しめました。

The Sefa Utaki was a great place to learn about history. I participated in a bus tour to Okinawa World over 30 years ago, but I didn't have enough time to see the snake and mongoose show or the Eisa dance show, so this time I decided to join the bus tour again to see the shows. The bus arrived before the shows started, and since we had enough time, I was able to see both the snake and mongoose show and the Eisa dance show. The Eisa dance show really captured the atmosphere of Okinawa. Due to animal welfare laws, the snake and mongoose show could no longer have them fight, so they held a swimming competition instead (laughs). My goal this time was to see both the snake and mongoose show and the Eisa dance show, so I was very satisfied with the bus tour. Lastly, I visited the snake museum, which I also didn't have time to see last time. It was great. Okinawa World was a fulfilling experience.

斎場御嶽は歴史の勉強になりました。
おきなわワ−ルドは30年以上前にバスツアーで参加し時間が無くハブとマングースのショ―とエイサーのショ―を見れなかったので今回ショ―を見たいと思いバスツアーに参加することにしました。ショ―が始まる前にバスが到着し所要持ち時間もあったのでハブとマングースのショ―とエイサーのショ―を両方を見る事が出来ました。エイサーのショ―は沖縄の雰囲気が充分に有りました。ハブとマングースのショ―は動物愛護法により戦いが出来無くなり水泳競争をやっておりました(笑)　今回の目標はハブとマングースのショ―とエイサーのショ―を両方を見る事でしたので充分に納得したバスツアーでした。あと最後にハブ博物館を見ました。これも前回見る時間が無かったので見る事が出来ました。良かったです。充実したおきなわワ−ルドでした。

I visited the Churaumi Aquarium again because I went there 30 years ago. It was crowded with families. The Ocean Expo Park, where the Churaumi Aquarium is located, is spacious. Since the time allocated for the aquarium is about 140 minutes, it's a good idea to consider your time management while walking around. Manzamo was well-maintained along the route. Nago Pineapple Park was filled with many interesting sculptures, which was enjoyable. Since lunch is not included in the course, I think it's a good idea to bring something like rice balls. The dining places and food trucks at tourist spots were very crowded, and there wasn't enough time to eat. I bought rice balls at a convenience store and brought them with me. I participated in a plan that included a barbecue dinner. They cooked it right in front of me, and it was delicious.

30年前に美ら海水族館に行ったので、また行こうと思い美ら海水族館行きました。家族連れでいっぱいでした。美ら海水族館のある海洋博公園は広いです。美ら海水族館持ち時間140分位ですので時間配分を考慮して歩くと良いです。万座毛は順路が整備されてました。名護パイナップルパークはオブジェがいっぱいで楽しめました。昼食がコ−スに含まれて無いので、おにぎり等を持参すると良いと思います。観光地の食堂、キッチンカ−等は人がいっぱいで食べる時間有りません。私はおにぎりをコンビニで買い持って行きました。夕食焼肉ディナ-付プランで参加しました。目の前で焼いてくれて、美味しくいただきました。

On the day of my visit, it was unfortunately cloudy, but I wasn't caught in heavy rain, so I was able to enjoy myself to some extent. I explored Taketomi Island by bicycle, but I felt that I could have enjoyed it even more if I had a bit more time. The ocean was very beautiful. I definitely recommend you go and see it!

当日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、大雨には降られず、それなりに楽しめました。
竹富島は自転車で回りましたが、時間が少なくもう少しあればなお良かったかなと思います。
海はとても綺麗でした。是非行ってみてください。

Just the two of us, my son and I. Since I was anxious about driving a rental car myself, I looked for a bus tour and chose this course because I wanted to visit various places. There were many tourists from overseas participating as well, but no one spoke loudly on the bus, allowing us to relax in a quiet atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

息子と2人。レンタカーで自分で運転するのも不安だったためバスツアーを探し、色々回りたかった私はこのコースを選びました。
海外からの観光客の方もたくさん参加していらっしゃいましたが、バスの中で大きな声で話すこともなく、静かな車内でゆったり出来ました。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

This was my third visit to Yufujima, and since I visited in different seasons each time, I was able to enjoy exploring the island. There are also beachside cafes on the island, so you can spend a relaxing time there.

今回で3回目の由布島観光でしたが、それぞれ訪れた季節が違うため楽しく島内を見ることが出来ました。島内のには浜辺のカフェもあるのでゆったりした時間を過ごすことが出来ます。

当日の参加者は、残念ながら私1人だけになってしまいましたが、ガイドさんは全くそんなことを感じさせないほど、とても丁寧で温かい対応をしてくださりました。
各スポットに着くたびに、歴史や背景をしっかり詳しく説明してくれて、私が興味を持って質問したことにも、ひとつひとつ丁寧に、わかりやすく答えてくださいました。本当に気持ちのいいツアーでした。

I participated in February, and the weather was cloudy and very cold. The other participants were dressed lightly and looked very cold. It rained during the mangrove tour, but it was still quite nice. For lunch, I thought it would have been better if there were more varieties of dessert.

2月に参加し、天気が曇り空、とても寒い日で、他の参加者さんは薄着でとても寒そうでした。ただマングローブ見学の時雨が降ってたけどそれなりに良かったです。ランチはデザートがもっと種類があればいいかなと思いました。

The pre-tour guidance was well understood, and we were able to tour efficiently without any unnecessary waiting time. Each guide provided appropriate and interesting introductions to the landmarks. One disappointing aspect was that we couldn't fully enjoy the tidal flats due to the high tide. Next time, I would like to visit during low tide. Thank you very much.

事前のガイダンスもよく理解でき、無駄な待ち時間もなく効率的に周遊できました。各ガイド案内も適切かつ面白く名所等を紹介していただきました。一つ残念なことは満潮と重なったため干潟を十分に楽しめませんでした。今度は干潮時に訪れたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I traveled between Yubu Island and Iriomote Island and rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island. The water buffalo were adorable and it was the best experience.

Also, while moving around Iriomote Island by bus, the driver was entertaining and had a clear voice, making it a great experience as well.

由布島と西表島の間の移動と竹富島内で水牛車に乗りました。水牛も可愛らしく最高でした。
また西表島内はバスでの移動でしたが、その際の運転手の方が話も面白く声も聞きやすく最高でした。

The weather was nice, and the mangrove tour and water buffalo cart experience became great memories. I rented a bicycle on Taketomi Island, but I felt a bit unsatisfied.

天気も良くマングローブ遊覧、水牛車体験と良い思い出になりました。竹富島はレンタサイクルを借りましたが、少し物足りなさを感じました。

The guide and the driver were both kind and it was fun! I was debating whether to rent a car, but I'm glad I went with the tour. Also, I wish we could have had soba for lunch. Please consider this for the future.

ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切で楽しかったです！
レンタカーか悩んだのですが、ツアーでよかったです。あとは、お昼はそばがよかったなぁ。今後ご検討ください。

I went to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The buffaloes were so cute. On the way there, an older man played the shamisen and sang, and on the way back, a woman did the same. Taketomi Island was free to explore. I rode an electric assist bicycle and enjoyed the view of the sea. We went to a café and had lychee juice and guava juice. The café was run by a French woman. I took pictures with the buffaloes on Yubu Island, and I got some really nice photos. On Iriomote Island, we saw a lot of mangroves from a cruise ship.

水牛車で由布島に行きました。牛さんが可愛いね。行きはおじさん、帰りは女性が三味線と歌を聴きました。竹富島はフリーでした。電動アシスト自転車に乗り海を見ました。カフェに行き、ライチジュースとグアバジュースを飲みました。カフェはフランス🇫🇷人の奥様がいましたね。由布島で牛さんと写真撮りました。とても良い写真が撮れました。西表島はクルーズ船でマングローブを沢山見ました。

About 80% of the participants were foreigners. As a result, it was noisy, the scent of perfume was strong, and there were requests to sit in the front seats. The young guide seemed to be used to it, but it looked challenging for them. There was also a guide who was not Japanese, speaking in both English and Japanese, but they spoke so quickly that I couldn't really understand what they were saying. However, their effort was definitely conveyed.

However, if you are going with parents or elderly people, I think a tour with only Japanese participants on a Japanese-speaking bus would be better. The content of the tour was well-organized and efficient.

8割外国人でした。なので、うるさい、香水の匂いがきつい、前の席に座りたい、だの、若いガイドさんも慣れてはいたのでしょうが大変そうでした。また日本人ではないガイドさんが英語と日本語ではなしてくれるのですが、早口で何を言っているのかよく分からなかったです。でも一生懸命さだけは伝わりました。
しかし、親や高齢者と行くなら、日本人のみのバスで日本語のツアーのほうがいいかなと思いました。ツアーの内容は効率よく回れてよかったです。

It was raining heavily, but that added to the charm, and it was great. You can rent bicycles if you pay, and they sell rain gear too, so there were no problems at all!

大雨だったけど、それもまた味が出ていて、良かった、自転車もお金払えば借りれるし、雨具も売ってるし、何も問題ナッシんギュー！
