All Reviews for Okinawa Bus Tours

I was torn between chartering a taxi or taking a regular sightseeing bus, but I was able to achieve all my goals and it was very efficient. In the end, it was definitely the right choice to book the regular sightseeing tour. The guide was captivating in their storytelling, and they were very skilled at singing and playing the sanshin.

タクシーをチャーターして回るか、定期観光バスか、どちらにするか迷ったが、目的はぜんぶ果たせた上に、とても効率よく回れて、結果的には定期観光を申し込んで正解だった。ガイドさんの話しぶりには引き込まれるし、歌も三線もとても上手。

I participated in a girls' trip. I wasn't able to make it for the departure on my own, but I appreciate the arrangements made for me to join in along the way. This time, I toured Taketomi Island with the water buffalo, and I was healed by the adorable water buffalo. The wonderful scenery was also impressive.

女子旅で参加しました。一人出発に間に合わなかったのですが、途中から合流出来るよう対処していただき感謝です。
今回竹富島を水牛観光しましたが、愛らしい水牛に癒されました。素晴らしい景色にも感動です。

It was an incredibly fulfilling tour! I'm grateful to the friendly staff and the hardworking water buffalo. If you want to visit the remote islands, I definitely recommend using this service, as it's something you wouldn't be able to arrange on your own. Each of the three islands has its own charm, so I recommend a tour that visits all three!

すごく充実したツアーでした！
親切なスタッフさんと、頑張ってくれた水牛さんに感謝です。
自分で予約したらまずできない内容なので、離島行きたい場合は絶対使った方がいいです。
3島それぞれに良さがあるので、3島全部行けるツアーがおすすめです！

Thanks to this tour, I was able to make meaningful use of the morning on the last day. Both the Sefa Utaki and the Ganagari Valley had a mystical and solemn atmosphere, and I was glad to visit them.

Since the roads were clear, we arrived at Sefa Utaki earlier than expected and had to wait until the ticket booth opened. I spent the time enjoying the surrounding scenery.

最終日の午前中をこのツアーのおかげで有意義に使うことができました。斎場御嶽もガンガラーの谷も神秘的で厳かな雰囲気で、訪れることができてよかったです。
道路が空いていたため斎場御嶽への到着が早くなり、チケット売り場が空くまで待つことになりました。周りの景色をみて過ごしました。

I enjoyed the wonderful scenery while listening to Nakama's easy-to-understand explanation; it was a fantastic four and a half hours that flew by. The lunch was delicious as well.

On the glass-bottom boat in Kabira Bay, I was thrilled to see sea turtles, clownfish, and rays. On the last day of my trip, I was able to experience something truly moving that was worth more than the price. I'm really glad I participated. Thank you very much.

仲間さんの分かりやすい説明を聞きながら素晴らしい景色を楽しみ、あっという間の４時間半でした。ランチも美味しかったです。
川平湾のグラスボートでは、ウミガメやカクレクマノミ、エイなども見ることができて嬉しかったです。旅行最終日にお値段以上の感動を味わうことができました。参加して本当によかったです。ありがとうございました。

The tourist attractions had just the right amount of time, not too short and not too long. I participated alone, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. The pricing was reasonable and felt good. The tour guide was available in several languages, which I think makes it easier for people from different countries to join. However, it was disappointing that the audio from the headphones cut out at times, making it hard to understand.

観光地は丁度良い時間設定で短すぎず長すぎずでした。
一人参加でしたが存分に楽しめました。
価格設定も手頃で良い感じ
観光案内は数ヶ国語に対応していたのも色んな国の方が参加しやすいと思います
ただイヤホンの声が所々途切れて話がわからなかった時があったのが残念

I was satisfied with the ability to visit three islands in one day. Although it was hot and humid due to an approaching typhoon, I was able to go to places I usually can't visit: Iriomote Island, Taketomi Island, and Yufu Island.

On Taketomi Island, I used a rental bicycle and enjoyed exploring even while getting a bit lost. The water buffalo cart ride was relaxing, and the mangroves were rich in nature and enjoyable.

Next, I want to explore the mangroves by canoe. It's not easy to visit three islands on my own, so I'm glad I was able to join a tour.

一日で3島巡りができ満足でした。　
台風接近中で蒸し暑かったけど西表島、竹富島、由布島と普段は行けないところに行けました。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルを利用しましたが迷いながら楽しみました。水牛車ものんびりでき、マングローブも自然豊かで楽しめました。
次はカヌーでマングローブ巡りしたいです。
個人で3島巡りはなかなかできないのでツアーに参加できよかったです。

The bus driver for the transfers, the boat captain for the mangrove tour, and the boatman for the water buffalo cart to Yufu Island.

I also had the opportunity to interact with local staff, and I could feel that everyone really loves this island based on the way they spoke.

I participated very comfortably and enjoyed it a lot!

I highly recommend this tour!

他にも、現地スタッフさんと交流をさせていただきましたが
皆さん、この島が好きなんだなぁと感じる話し方で

とても氣持ちよく楽しく参加させていただきました！

オススメのツアーです♪

I was very satisfied after spending a whole day visiting famous tourist spots in Okinawa! We had two elementary school children (a fourth grader and a first grader) with us, but there were restroom breaks along the way, and the guide provided explanations about our current location, so we were able to enjoy it without getting bored! It was a hot day, but the bus was comfortable, so the kids mostly slept during the ride.

丸一日かけて沖縄の有名観光スポットをまわれて大満足でした！
小学生2人（小4と小1）参加しましたが、途中トイレ休憩もあるしガイドさんによる現在地の説明などがあり飽きることなく楽しめました！暑い日だったのですが、バスの中は快適だったので子供達は移動はほぼ寝ていました。

We participated as a family of three. The bus guide was cheerful, and it was great to hear explanations about things we didn't know along the way. My daughter said she really enjoyed the Pineapple Kingdom and the Churaumi Aquarium.

The Churaumi Aquarium was crowded, so we couldn't enjoy it as much, and it took a while to find a restaurant, so we would like to go back when it's less busy.

Thank you again!

家族3人で参加しました。バスガイドさんが明るく、途中の説明も知らなかった事も聞けて、良かったです。娘はパイナップル王国と美ら海水族館が良かったと言っております。
美ら海水族館は観光客が多くて、落ち着いて見れなかったのとレストラン探しに時間がかかったので、混雑していない時にまた行きたいと思っています。
またよろしくお願いします。

My boyfriend participated in a bus tour around Ishigaki Island while diving. I learned a lot about Ishigaki Island and had a great time participating even on my own. It was also lucky that the weather was very nice.

彼氏がダイビング中に、石垣島一周バスツアーに参加しました。石垣島のことが良くわかり、一人でも、とても楽しく参加できました。天気がとても良かったのもラッキーです。

This is the Okinawa Royal Course. The bus guide was very accommodating, and I was extremely satisfied. This course has many indoor facilities, so you can enjoy it even in light rain. At the Churaumi Aquarium, they scheduled it so that we could catch the dolphin show, allowing us to enjoy it without rushing. I would like to participate again.

沖縄王道コースです。バスガイドさんの対応もとても良くて大満足でした。このコースだと屋内施設が多いので多少の雨でも楽しめます。美ら海水族館ではイルカショーに間に合うように設定してくれているので余裕を持って鑑賞出来ました。また参加したいです。

I was able to fully enjoy the remote island in just one day!
I used the bus plan, which allowed me to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. It was hot, so the bus tour was just right.
My 61-year-old mother also enjoyed the tour without any strain.
The water buffalo were cute and very soothing.
The lunch was also very delicious!

1日かけて離島を堪能できました！
バスプランを利用したので効率よく観光スポットを回れました。暑かったのでバス観光がちょうど良かったです。
61歳の母も無理なくツアーを楽しめました。
水牛も可愛くて癒されました。
ランチもとても美味しかったです！

The schedule was a bit tight, but I was satisfied with how efficiently I was able to get around. I hadn't done any research on Kouri Island beforehand, and I later thought that if I had walked faster, I might have made it to the starting cave. It could be tough during the hot season, as it can be exhausting. I'll look forward to next time!

少しタイトなスケジュールですが効率的に周れて満足です。
事前に古宇利島に関して下調べをしておらず…早歩きなら始まりの洞窟まで行けたかも？と後になってから思いました。暑い時期はヘトヘトになるのでキツいかもですが。
次回のお楽しみにします笑

The weather was hot, but I'm glad we didn't encounter a typhoon. Riding the water buffalo cart was a great experience. Also, I was happy to cool off by eating a large kakigori in the village of Taketomi Island in the hot weather.

天気が暑いでしたが台風に合わなくてよかったです。水牛車になって良い体験でした。また、暑い天気の中に竹富島の集落で大きなカキ氷を食べらせて冷やして嬉しかったです。

The photo session with Louis the water buffalo left the biggest impression on me. He is said to be the only one who doesn't swing his horns.

Perhaps because the weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and the mangroves were fun as well.

There were various guides, but they were all wonderful people!

水牛のルイくんとの写真撮影が一番印象に残っています。唯一角をふらないそうです。

天気もよかったせいか海もきれいでしたしマングローブも楽しかったです。

いろんなガイドさんいましたが、皆さん良いかたばかりでした‼️

This time, my destinations in Okinawa were Kitadaito Island, Minna Island, Iheya Island, and Izena Island. Before heading to Iheya Island, I stayed in Naha and participated in a tour that included the Valley of Gangala, which I had not visited before. In just half a day, we efficiently visited "Sefa Utaki" and "Valley of Gangala." During the bus ride, we could listen to information about the surrounding attractions and our destinations, and there was plenty of time to buy souvenirs. I had a great time even traveling solo.

今回の沖縄旅の目的地は北大東島、南大東島、伊平屋島、伊是名島。
伊平屋島に渡る前に那覇に滞在し、これまで訪問していなかったガンガラーの谷を含むこのツアーに参加。
効率よく半日で「斎場御獄」と「ガンガラーの谷」を訪問でき、移動中のバスの中では、周辺の観光情報や訪問先の案内が聞け、お土産を買う時間も十分あり、一人旅での参加でも十分楽しめました。

There were no guides, and the format involved receiving tickets at each location to participate, but the guidance at each spot was smooth, making it a very satisfying plan to visit three islands. My first-grade child participated, and we were able to explore without any difficulty. We chose a free plan on Taketomi Island and rented an electric-assist bicycle that could accommodate a child to explore the island. The free time on Taketomi Island wasn't very long, so it was great that we could efficiently tour the area.

ガイドさん等はおらず、各箇所でチケットを渡して参加していく形式ですが、各箇所での案内もスムーズで、３つの島を回れるという大満足のプランでした。
小学校1年生の子ども参加しましたが、無理なく回ることができました。竹富島はフリープランにしましたが、子どもを乗せられる電動アシスト付き自転車を借りて島内を散策しました。竹富島でのフリータイムはそれ程長くないので、効率的に島内を回ることができてよかったです。

It was a very fulfilling tour where we could visit the main islands in a limited time of one day. Additionally, the guide provided a lot of explanations, which made it very interesting as well.

1日という限られた時間で、主要な離島を纏めて観光することができ、とても充実したツアーでした。また、ガイドさんが沢山説明してくださり、その点でもとても面白かったです。

We visited as a family of three, including our 7-year-old child. It was a hot and sunny day, but we had a great time.

The mangrove tour, the water buffalo cart, and Taketomi Island were all wonderful. However, the highlight was definitely the stories shared by the boat captain, the water buffalo cart guide, and the bus driver about the local area. Each of their stories made the tour even more enjoyable.

7歳の子供を含めた家族3人で利用しました。
蒸し暑く日差しの強い一日でしたが、とてま楽しめました。

マングローブ遊覧も水牛車も竹富島もどれも素敵です。
しかし一番はやはり遊覧船の運転手の方や、水牛車のガイドの方や、移動のバスの運転手さんが話してくれる地域の話でした。
それぞれの話があってまた更にツアーが楽しいものになりました。

The Nakama River cruise had great weather, and I was able to see an abundance of mangroves. The experience of crossing to Water Buffalo Island for the first time was also interesting. It was a pity that the time spent at Yufu Island was short, and I couldn't relax.

仲間川遊覧は天気も良く、これでもか！
ってほどマングローブを見る事ができました。
初めての水牛島渡りも面白かった
由布島での滞在時間が短く、ゆっくりできなくて
残念でした

I participated during my free time at the airport. A dandy bus guide takes you around the sights along with shamisen music and beautiful island songs. It includes a meal and airport transfer, so I can recommend it if you want to compactly visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island.

They also point out exquisite photo spots, so it's a good idea to actively ask for photos!

空港前の空き時間に参加。三味線と素敵な島唄とともに、ダンディーなバスガイドさんが名所を回ってくれます。お食事つきで空港送迎ありなので、コンパクトに石垣島の名所を回りたい場合にはお勧めできます。

絶妙なフォトスポットも教えていただけるので、積極的にお写真をお願いするといいです！！

I was surprised at how smart the water buffalo cart was! The guidance was also polite and easy to understand. I learned a lot.

水牛車が賢くてびっくりしました！
案内も丁寧でわかりやすかったです。勉強になることがたくさんありました。

I participated with my child.
We were blessed with good weather, and the guide's explanations, which included local dialect, made for a travel experience that couldn't be enjoyed alone.
We were also able to stop by the airport in Ishigaki, which helped with moving our luggage.
Kabayama was great.

親子２人で参加しました。
天気にも恵まれ、ガイドさんの方言を交えた案内もあった為、個人では味わえない旅になりました。
石垣島の空港への途中下車も出来た為、荷物を持っての移動も助かりました。
川平良かったです。

The trainee bus guide with a name tag provided good explanations during the tour. However, the way they interacted with the guests was not pleasant. After returning from the sightseeing, there was a child on the bus who was vomiting, and the parent was attending to them, but the guide completely ignored the situation and did not offer any words of comfort. Usually, at the end of the tour, they would collect the trash, but that did not happen. When I handed over a large plastic bottle, I was coldly told to dispose of it at the airport.

The local guide was very friendly, and their explanations were enjoyable and easy to understand.

研修生と名札をつけたバスガイドさんで、案内の説明などはよかったです。
しかし、お客さんへの対応の言葉かけなどが気分よくなかったです。
観光から帰ってきて、バスの中で吐きまくっている子供さんがいて親が対応していましたが、それにたいして全く知らぬ顔、声かけもなかった。
観光終わり、普通はゴミを回収してくれるのに、
それもなく、こちらからペットボトルの大きいものを渡したら、冷たく、空港で捨てるように言われました。

現地でのガイドさんはとても、人当たりのよい、
案内も楽しくわかりやすくよい人でした。

When we arranged a similar trip on our own before, we struggled with time adjustments and various other issues. This time, since it was a tour, everything was organized for us, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. I highly recommend this tour.

以前同じような内容を、自分達で手配して回った際には、時間調整など色々と苦労しました。今回はツアーなので全て手配されており、ゆっくり安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。おすすめのツアーです。

I had a wonderful day with my friend on our trip to Okinawa. We visited popular tourist spots like the beach and the aquarium. The service was excellent.

沖縄の旅で友人と楽しい一日を過ごした。
海や水族館などの人気な観光地を旅行した。
接客はとっても良かったです。

I participated on July 31. The check-in process at the counter was smooth. The guide on the Iriomote Island cruise was skilled, and they showed us the tidal flats during low tide, which kept things interesting. The bus driver was also kind and provided a tour of Iriomote Island. We crossed to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart. The stay on Yubu Island was just the right amount of time, allowing us to explore the island leisurely. As others have mentioned, I think it would be nice if there were alternative lunch options available. On Taketomi Island, we took a larger water buffalo cart than on Yubu Island and enjoyed a relaxed tour around the island. It was fun to ride the water buffalo cart three times. I opted to stick with just the water buffalo cart and spent the rest of the time walking around the island, buying souvenirs, and enjoying smoothies. The weather was very nice and hot that day, so this way of spending time suited me well. I chose the 4 PM boat to return. I think this is a great tour for those who want to efficiently visit three islands within a limited itinerary.

7/31に参加しました。カウンターの手続きは、スムーズです。西表島クルーズのお姉さんは、ガイドが上手で、干潮になった干潟も見せてくれて、飽きることがありませんでした。バスの運転手さんも親切な方で、西表島を案内してくれました。水牛車で由布島へ渡ります。由布島は、ちょうど良い滞在時間で、ゆっくり島を周れました。他の人も書かれていますが、ランチのお弁当は、別メニューも選べるといいと思います。竹富島では、由布島より大きな水牛車で、のんびり島を周りました。3回も水牛車に乗れて楽しかったです。オプションは水牛車だけにして、あとは島をゆっくり歩いて周り、お土産を買ったり、スムージーを飲んだりしました。この日はとても良いお天気で暑い日だったので、こういう過ごし方が私には良かったです。16時の船を選んで帰りました。限られた旅程の中で、効率よく3島を周りたい方には、とても良いツアーだと思います。

It was so noisy that I felt sick and fell asleep. Did you not wake me up even when we arrived at the destination? Because of that, I couldn't do any sightseeing. The optional glass-bottom boat also turned into a rescue for a broken boat, so it wasn't sightseeing at all. Give me my money back!

うるさいので気分が悪く寝ていたら、目的地に到着しても起こさない？おかげで観光もできず。
オプションのグラスポートも故障したボートの救援になり、観光になっていない。お金を返せ❗️

It was a trip with my child, and it had been four years since we were forced to cancel due to COVID-19. I couldn't make a reservation for a rental car, so I planned to spend time at the hotel, but since I wanted to go to the aquarium, we joined a tour. This was my child's sixth time and my tenth time in Okinawa, but the guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I learned a lot of new things, so it was really enjoyable. At the end, we all sang a song together, which was quite moving. Since there was a set meeting time, it can be quite challenging with kids, but the tour was packed with activities, and even repeat visitors like us had a great time. The price was reasonable, and I highly recommend it!

子供と2人での旅行でしたが、コロナでキャンセルを余儀なくされてから4年ぶりでした。レンタカーの予約が出来なかったので、ホテルで過ごすつもりでしたが、水族館は行きたかったので、ツアーに参加しました。子供は6回目、私は10回目の沖縄でしたが、ガイドさんの説明がとても分かりやすく、初めて知ることも多かったので、とても楽しかったです。最後に、みんなで歌を歌ったのが、うるっときました。集合時間が決まっているので、子連れだとなかなか大変ですが、ギュッと詰まった観光で、リピーターでも楽しめました。値段もお手頃でおすすめできます！
