All Reviews for Okinawa Bus Tours

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。

The plan was just right, as expected, allowing us to visit three islands in the Yaeyama Islands. On Taketomi Island, it's quite hot, so staying hydrated and protecting against sunburn is essential.

八重山諸島３島も周れて予想通りのちょうどいいプランでした。
竹富島はかなり厚いので水分補給、日焼け対策は必須です。

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。

The shuttle service was very helpful. The tour guide was wonderful again. My grandfather's sanshin was great. I had a lot of fun. I would like to do this again.

送迎もたすかりました。観光ガイドの方がまた素晴らしい。おじいの三線が良かった。とても楽しかったです。またお願いします。

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 singing on the bus was wonderful, and the stories were very interesting. I was completely captivated by the singing; it was very skillful.

While riding the bus, we were taken to various places, and there were detailed explanations along the way. Both the singing and the chatting were excellent, making for a very enjoyable time.

This was a tour I participated in on the last day of my trip, and I was able to get off at Ishigaki Airport, which was very helpful. I had been wondering how to get to the airport from the hotel on the final day, so it was a fun experience to arrive at the airport while enjoying the bus tour.

I highly recommend it! By the way, it was a solo trip without a rental car.

バスのなかで歌ってくださり、お話しもとても面白かった。歌は聞き入ってしまったとてもお上手でした。
バスに乗っていればいろんな所につれてってくれて、途中全て詳しく説明があり、歌もおしゃべりもとってもお上手で、とても楽しい時間でした。
旅の最終日に参加したツアーなんですが、石垣空港で途中下車も出来て、それがとても助かりました。最終日ホテルからどうやって空港にいこうかと考えてたので、バスツアー利用しながらの空港着という楽しい時間でした。
お薦めです
ちなみにレンタカー無しのひとり旅でした。

It was a hot day, but the experience of riding a water buffalo was so valuable that I forgot about the heat. The leisurely journey through Taketomi Island was the best.

暑い日でしたが、暑さを忘れるぐらい水牛の乗車の体験はとても貴重でした。
ゆっくり竹富島の中を通りに抜ける体験は最高でした。

I appreciate the tour that takes you to famous places since it's far to the Yanbaru area. It would have been nice to have the stay time on Kouri Island increased to two hours or more.

ヤンバル方面へは遠いため専用で有名な場所を回ってくれるツアーには感謝しています。
古宇利島での滞在時間を２時間とか増やして貰うと良かったです。

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。

The tour was compact, lasting four and a half hours including lunch, which was perfect since we used it while the cruise ship was docked. The sightseeing spots like Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki were beautiful, but the best part was the guide who explained everything so well. With a slow, gentle tone and a touch of humor, they even played the sanshin and sang for us. The lunch featured local ingredients, including Ishigaki beef hamburgers, Yaeyama soba, mozuku, and goya, all of which were very delicious.

昼食込みで4時間半とコンパクトにまとめられたツアーで、今回クルーズ船の寄港中に利用したのでちょうどよかったです。
川平湾や玉取崎などの観光スポットはきれいでよかったのですが、それを上手に説明してくれるガイドさんが最高でした。ゆっくり優しい口調でユーモアも交え、三線を弾きながら歌まで歌ってくれました。
昼食も石垣牛のハンバーグや八重山そば、もずくやゴーヤなど地元の食材を使ったものでとてもおいしくいただけました。

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour. I think it's just one of those things in nature, so I participated anyway, and the tour content was wonderfully well thought out! If it had been sunny, the scenery and colors would have been different. I want to try again!

当日は、残念ながら雨。
自然の事なので仕方ないと思い参加したが、ツアー内容は、良く考えられた素晴らしかった！
晴れていたら、景色・色合いもまた違うんだろうな。
又、チャレンジしたい！！

The bus guide was very experienced, and the stories were quite interesting. Perhaps because it was a weekday during the rainy season, there were only six participants on the large bus, which made it comfortable. Fortunately, the weather was nice that day, and it was great to explore both Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley with a small group. Both places have rough terrain, so I recommend wearing sneakers. Personally, I prefer the Gangala Valley over Okinawa World. The walking time is long, but the pace is quite slow. Since we walked with the guide, we could hear various stories about history and plants. They mentioned that the maximum group size is about 20 people, but we were just six.

経験豊富なバスガイドさんで、お話がとても興味深かったです。梅雨の中の平日だったせいか、大きなバスに6人しか参加者がおらず、快適でした。幸運にもこの日はお天気に恵まれ、斎場御獄もガンガラーの谷も少人数で回れて良かったです。どちらも足場が悪いので、スニーカーで行くことをお勧めします。個人的には、おきなわワールドよりガンガラーの谷がお勧めです。歩く時間は長いですが、ペースはかなりゆっくりです。ガイドさんと一緒に歩くので、歴史から植物と色んな話を聞けます。最大20人程で回るとのことですが、私達は6人でした。

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

I arrived at Ishigaki Airport at 12:30, rented a car, and reached the Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal around 13:30. I had reserved a half-day course starting at 14:30, but I had plenty of time.

There are shops and small eateries inside the Ishigaki Port Terminal, but I thought it would have been nice to eat outside beforehand. Several tour companies are located within the terminal, and when I went to the one I had booked and told them my name, they guided me. Since I went before checking into the hotel, I was also able to leave my luggage at the counter!

The boat was fast but not so much that it made me feel seasick. We arrived at Taketomi Island in about 15 minutes, and from there, it seemed to be a 15-minute walk to the water buffalo experience location, but with kids in the heat, taking the bus was a good choice. We were quickly guided to the water buffalo experience and set off. We had a relaxing time, learning about Taketomi Island and the water buffalo, and at the end, they played the sanshin and sang for us, making for a wonderful experience. We took commemorative photos at 15:40.

After that, I could choose to return to the Ishigaki Port Terminal at either 16:00 or 17:00, so I thought about staying until 17:00 to rent a bicycle. However, it seemed they only rented until 16:00, so I aimed to walk to Kaiji Beach and Kondoi Beach. But with a 4-year-old in the blazing sun, it was quite tough. I decided to just go to Kaiji Beach, took a quick photo, and hurried back to the water buffalo area, barely catching the 16:45 bus and returning to Ishigaki Port Terminal on the 17:00 ferry.

It's important to check the rental bicycle hours, and for those who want to take their time at the beach, I recommend a morning or full-day course. Drinks were also available for purchase at Taketomi Port.

Since the water buffalo experience was the main plan, it was great, but I also wanted to see Kondoi Beach. The sea isn’t immediately visible; you have to walk quite a distance to see it.

I wrote this hoping it might be helpful to someone. It truly became a wonderful memory! I recommend it for families with children.

12時半に石垣空港着で、レンタカー借りて13時半頃には石垣港離島ターミナルに着けていました。14時半〜の半日コースを予約してましたが、時間には余裕がありました。
石垣港ターミナル内にも売店や小さな食堂はありますが、外で食べてきてからでも良かったなと思います。
石垣港ターミナル内にいくつか観光会社が入っていて、予約したところに行って名前を伝えると案内してもらえました。またホテルチェックイン前に行ったので手荷物も窓口で預かって貰えました！
船は速さもあり酔うほどではなかったです。15分程度で竹富島に到着して、そこからバスで水牛体験の場所へ歩いても15分程の距離みたいですが子連れで暑い中だったのでバスでよかったです。水牛体験もすぐに案内されて出発。ゆったりした時間を過ごせました。竹富島の事、水牛の事、いろんなお話を聞かせていただき最後には三線演奏と歌も歌ってくださりとても良い時間を過ごせました。記念撮影もして15時40分。
そのあと16時と17時の石垣港ターミナルへ戻る時間を選べたため、17時まで滞在して自転車を借りようと思いましたが、16時までしか貸し出ししてないようで徒歩でカイジ浜とコンドイ浜を目指しましたが4歳の足で炎天下の中無理がありかなりしんどかったです。カイジ浜だけにして到着してもサッと写真撮影してすぐに水牛の所へ戻って16時45分発のバスにギリギリ乗り込み、17時の便で石垣港ターミナルへ戻りました。
レンタサイクルの時間の確認が必要なのと、ゆっくりビーチの時間も取りたい人は午前中か1日コースがオススメです。
ドリンクは竹富港でも購入出来ました。
水牛体験がメインの予定だったので良かったですが、コンドイ浜も見てみたかったです。海はすぐ見えるわけではなくかなり道を進まないと見えないです>_<
誰かの参考になればなと思い書きました。
ただ本当にとても良い思い出にはなりました！子連れにもオススメです。

Without a car, it's convenient to be taken to multiple places just by sitting. Nago Pineapple Park might appeal to children, but it wasn't necessary for me. Instead, I would have preferred to go somewhere else. The system with audio guides through earphones was nice. Overall, I was satisfied.

車なしで、車がなければ行きにくい所へも、座っていれば何か所も連れて行っていただけるので楽です。
名護パイナップルパークは子供受けはするかもですが、なくても良かったです。その代わり別の所へ行きたかった。
イヤホンで音声ガイドを聞くシステム。
総じて満足です。

The tour guide's explanations were thorough, and it was a good tour. I enjoyed myself on the bus as well. However, the time was short and not enough. I wanted to explore Okinawa World a bit more leisurely.

ツアーガイドさんの説明も丁寧で、
良いツアーでした。
バスの中でも充分楽しめました。
ただ時間が短く足りなかったです。
沖縄ワールド内もう少しゆっくり
周りたかったです。

Water buffalo, mangroves, rental bicycles, glass boards—everything was so much fun that I didn't have enough time. Next time, I want to swim in the sea at Taketomi Island. It was quite an enjoyable trip. I was surprised that the mangroves were longer than I expected. The rental bicycles were surprisingly good.

水牛、マングローブ、レンタサイクル、グラスボード
どれも　楽しくて時間足りないぐらいで
次回は竹富島で海で泳ぎたい
中々楽しい旅でした。
マングローブは思ったより長くてびっくりしました
以外とレンタサイクルが良かった

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。

I was picked up at Makishi Station. I appreciated receiving a call before the meeting time since I was waiting just a few meters away.

We passed by Kencho-mae and Naha Airport.

Sefa Utaki was a sacred place. On the day of my visit, there was light rain and some slippery areas, so please be careful with your footing.

The Valley of Gangala was guided by a local guide who made the experience enjoyable and engaging. On rainy days, the river inside can have a bit of an odor due to drainage from upstream, so if you're sensitive to smells, I recommend visiting on a sunny day.

It was a tour that was satisfying even for just half a day!

牧志駅でピックアップしていただきました。数メートル離れた場所で待っていたので、集合時間前に連絡をいただけてありがたかったです。
県庁前と那覇空港を経由しました。

斎場御獄は神聖な場所でした。
当日は少雨で滑りやすい場所もありましたので足元お気をつけください。

ガンガラーの谷は現地のガイドさんが楽しく案内してくれて飽きさせません。
雨の日は上流からの排水？で場内の川が多少臭いますので、匂いに敏感な方は晴れの日がおすすめです。


半日でも充分満足できるツアーでした！

I participated in the Ishigaki Island Round Tour Bus.

The guide provided detailed explanations about the history of the tourist spots, which was very informative. They also showcased traditional shamisen music and folk songs on the bus, which was enjoyable.

The tour covered all the highlights, and Kawaibay was particularly impressive.

It was a wonderful trip. Thank you to the guide and the driver!!

石垣島一周定期観光バス　川平湾など島の名所をひと巡り！＜食事付／石垣島＞ / 石垣島一周定期観光バスに参加しました。

ガイドさんが観光地の歴史を詳しく説明してくださったので、とてもためになりました。バスの中で三味線と民謡も披露してくださり、楽しめました。

観光地は見どころ全てをおさえており、特に川平湾は圧巻でした。

とても良い旅になりました。ガイドの方、運転手さん、ありがとうございました！！

I participated with my 4-year-old daughter and my parents. Here are my honest impressions:

- There are too many tourist spots, giving the impression of being overpacked.
- The distance from the bus parking area to the tourist spots is quite far.
- There was almost no explanation about the Fukugi tree-lined path, so I didn't know what to look at.

I think it was a bit of a failure for my daughter's first bus tour. If you're traveling with preschoolers, it would be better to have fewer stops and a tour that allows for more time to enjoy each sightseeing spot.

4歳になった娘と両親と参加しました。
率直な感想は下記の通りです。

・対象の観光スポットがたくさんあり過ぎるので、詰め込みすぎな印象
・バスの駐車場所から観光スポットへの道のりもまぁまぁ遠い
・フクギ並木の説明がほとんど無く、どこを見るのか分からなかった

4歳児初めてのバスツアーとしては、失敗だったかなと思います。
未就学児連れなら、もう少し立ち寄るスポットが少なくて、一つ一つの観光地でゆっくり時間を使えるツアーが良いかと思います。

Thank you for allowing me to participate in such a fun experience!
During the mangrove tour, I received a lot of explanations and had a wonderful experience!
I was surprised to see that the clams were as big as a fist (I heard there are even bigger ones)!
It was great to actually see the real thing on the boat and hear the explanations!
The explanations about the different types of mangroves were also very clear and helpful!
The water buffalo cart was amusing because of the personality of the buffalo!
However, I was disappointed that there were hardly any fruits to see in the fruit forest of the botanical garden.
Overall, it was a lot of fun!

楽しく参加させて頂きありがとうございました！
マングローブ遊覧では、沢山説明をして頂きとてもいい体験が出来ました！
シジミ貝が握り拳くらい大きなものがある事(もっと大きな貝もあるそうです)驚きました！！
実際に実物を船の中で見せて頂き説明を聞く事が出来て良かったです！
他にもマングローブの種類など沢山の説明わかりやすくてとても良かったです！　
水牛車も牛さんの性格があって笑ってしまいました！！
ただ植物園の果物の森にほとんど果物がなく見られなかったのが残念に思いました。
全体的には、楽しかったです！

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 forecasted to rain, but we were blessed with good weather and were able to fully enjoy the great outdoors. Next time, I would like to take it a bit slower and savor the experience more.

雨の予報でしたが、天候にも恵まれ大自然を満喫できました。つぎは、もう少しゆっくりじっくり行きたいです

Before sharing my thoughts, I want to mention one thing. The website and online presence of Jumbo Tours, the organizer here, are quite poor and confusing, making it easy to make mistakes. The main tour itself was great, but if the company doesn't improve the application screen and how information is displayed on the website, users will continue to feel frustrated.

Despite this, I was really satisfied with the experience. Although there weren't many places that were difficult to reach by rental car or public transportation, it was truly enjoyable to relax and sightsee while being gently rocked by the bus.

As advice, when walking the route at Oishi Forest, the paths outside of the barrier-free course can be quite muddy, and some mountain trails are a bit steep, with stairs that are not completely well-maintained. It's best to wear non-slip shoes like sneakers that you don't mind getting dirty. Additionally, even in summer, long sleeves and long pants are advisable. While there weren't many bugs, there were some flying around, so it would be wise to take precautions against getting bitten.

For lunch, the meal consisted entirely of fish dishes: sashimi, grilled fish, miso soup, and rice, so if you're not fond of fish, it might be a good idea to consult in advance. On the day of the tour, the tour guide confirmed this point before boarding the bus.

The Kuina Forest is a facility where you can see artificially hatched Yanbaru Kuina up close, and this bus tour is scheduled to arrive in time for the feeding at 3 PM, so you should be able to observe them without fail.

After hearing the historical story of Henoko Cape's return to Japan, looking towards Yoronjima may prompt thoughts about the feelings of the Okinawan people towards Japan.

The bus makes stops at various places, including roadside stations and service areas for restroom breaks, so it's best to take advantage of these opportunities as much as possible.

The only regret I have is that due to the rainy season, the weather wasn't great, so I couldn't see the blue sea from Henoko Cape as vividly as during the high season.

Lastly, for the return trip, you can choose from two drop-off locations, so if it seems like there will be traffic in Naha City on weekends or holidays, it might be better to get off at Omoromachi DFS. We arrived about 30 minutes later than scheduled due to heavy traffic, so those with subsequent plans should be cautious.

感想の前にひとつ。ここの主催しているジャンボツアーズのホームページやweb関係が貧弱かつ間違えやすく分かりにくい。ツアー本編は良かったので、会社として申し込み画面や、ホームページ上の表示の仕方を改善しないと利用者はイライラし続けることになる。

集合場所の写真や地図が、いくらボタンを押しても表示されず、結果として私自身が悪いのだが、集合時間ギリギリに県民広場にやっと辿り着け、添乗員さん、バスの運転手さん、他の参加者の皆さんに多大なご迷惑をお掛けしてしまった。

それ以外は、本当に満足している。レンタカーや公共交通機関で行くにしても行きにくい場所に訪れた場所自体はそんなに多くなかったにせよ、バスに揺られてのんびり観光できて本当に良かった。

アドバイスとしては、大石林山のルートを歩く際、バリアフリーコース以外は結構道がぬかるんでいたり、山道がちょっと急だったり、階段も完全に整備されていないところもあるので、汚れても良いスニーカーなどの滑りにくい靴で行くと良い。かつ、服装も夏でも長袖・長ズボンの方が良い。虫なども多くはなかったものの飛んでいたので刺されたりするとやっかいかと思うので、注意された方が良いと思った。

昼食は刺身、焼き魚、味噌汁とご飯という完全に魚料理なので苦手な方は事前に相談されると良いかもしれない。当日、バス乗車前に添乗員さんからその点には確認をされた。

クイナの森は人工孵化したヤンバルクイナを間近で見られる施設で、このバスツアーは午後3時の餌の時間に合わせてここに来るので、確実に観察できるかと思う。

辺戸岬も日本復帰への歴史の話を聞いてから与論島の方面を見やると沖縄の人々の日本への思いとは、ふと考えられるかもしれない。

トイレ休憩も道の駅やサービスエリアも含め、各所に停まってくれるので、できる限りこまめに用は済ませた方が良いかと思う。

唯一の心残りは、梅雨だったので天候がイマイチだったので、ハイシーズンほど辺戸岬からの海の青さを見ることができなかったことぐらいか。

最後に、帰りのバスの降車場所は行きの二箇所から選べるので、那覇市内が渋滞していそうな土休日はおもろまちDFSで降りてしまった方が良いかもしれない。渋滞がひどくて予定時刻より30分程度遅くついたので、その後の予定がある方は注意された方が良い。

I booked a free plan for my trip around the islands, and for Taketomi Island! I heard it was a 20-minute walk to the town center, but I thought it would be tough in the heat. Just then, I found a shuttle bus that took me to Kaiji Beach (the star sand area)! It's about an 8-minute walk to Kondoi Beach, so I think if you get off at Kaiji Beach and book the shuttle bus while walking, you can explore efficiently.

I ended up writing mostly about Taketomi Island, but the Nakama River cruise, the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, lunch on Yubu Island, and the smoothness of transportation were all wonderful too! Considering the boat fare to the remote islands, it's a great deal, and since it's difficult to do the same itinerary individually, I recommend it for those who want to quickly experience the atmosphere of each island!

3島巡り、竹富島はフリープランで予約しました！
中心街まで歩いて20分とのことでしたが、暑くて厳しそうだな、と思ってた矢先、巡回バスを見つけて、カイジ浜（星砂のところ）まで行くことができました！
コンドイビーチまで歩いて8分ほどなので、カイジ浜に降りて、歩いてる途中で巡回バスを予約すると、効率よくまわれると思います。

竹富島のことばかり書いてしまいましたが、その他、仲間川クルーズ、由布島への水牛車、由布島でのお昼ご飯、移動のスムーズさも素晴らしかったです！
離島への船の料金からすると、お値打ちだし、個人で同様に回るには難しい内容なので、サクッと各島の雰囲気を味わいたい人にはおすすめです！

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！

I participated in a tour bus in Okinawa for the first time, and it was really comfortable to sit back and relax.

The coral reefs and fish I saw from the glass-bottom boat in the Okinawa sea were truly beautiful, even more stunning than what you see in an aquarium. I also unexpectedly found the shisa at the pottery village to be so cute that I ended up buying one, and now it smiles at me from my desk at work.

I would love to join another tour in Okinawa.

初めて沖縄のツアーバスに参加しましたが、ゆったりと座れ、らくちんらくちんでした。

沖縄の海のグラスボートでみるサンゴ礁と魚たちは本当にきれいで、水族館で見る光景よりも素晴らしかったです。
また、あまり期待していなかった、陶芸の里でのシーサーが可愛く、ついつい購入し、現在は仕事場の机でほほ笑んでくれています。

また、沖縄で別のツアーに参加させていただきたいなと思いました。
