All Reviews for Okinawa Bus Tours

The bus roll call on Taketomi Island was the worst! I almost got left behind! I managed to catch the last boat, but...

After that, it was the best memory.

竹富島のバスの点呼が最悪！
置いて行かれる始末！
なんとか最終の船に間に合ったけど…

後は最高の思い出です。

We were able to efficiently visit three islands. My grandchildren were very happy. It would have been nice to have a bit more time to explore Yufu Island and Taketomi Island.

効率よく3島巡りができました。
孫たちも大変喜んでいました。
由布島　竹富島もう少し観光する時間があったら良かったです

I chose this course because I thought the Submarine Jr. II was attractive. I was impressed to see the beautiful fish in Okinawa's clear waters from the semi-submersible. I was also happy to visit famous tourist spots like the Fukugi Tree Lined Road and the Churaumi Aquarium. The tour guide was kind, and it turned out to be a fun trip.

サブマリンjrⅡが魅力的だと思いこちらのコースにしました。
半潜水艦艦で沖縄の綺麗な海の魚たちをみることができて感動しました。
他にもフクギ並木や美ら海水族館など、有名な観光地を回ることができて嬉しかったです。添乗員さんも親切で、楽しい旅行になりました。

It was cloudy, but we were able to take a sightseeing boat and see the fantastical underwater world! The lunch was a delicious grilled meat set meal, just like in the pictures! A children's lunch was provided for toddlers.

At Churaumi Aquarium, we missed the dolphin show because the timing didn't work out. We went to the aquarium first, but we couldn't make it to the dolphin show in time. However, we still enjoyed the aquarium.

The journey from the aquarium to Chatan was delayed due to highway construction, taking two hours instead of one.

The first hour after arriving in Chatan was really not enough time. The restroom was extremely crowded, and after having a light snack, an hour passed in no time.

I had some concerns after reading reviews, but it turned out to be a wonderful day. It's essential for children to take motion sickness medication.

曇りでしたが、なんとか遊覧船にも乗ることができ、幻想的な海の中を見ることができました！！
お昼ご飯も写真通りの焼肉定食で美味しかったです！
幼児はお子様ランチが提供されていました。

ちゅら水族館は、イルカショーが時間的に合わなくて、水族館を見るかイルカショーを見るかで水族館を先に行ったらやはり、イルカショーには間に合いませんでした。でも、水族館だけでも楽しめました。
水族館からの北谷の道のりは
高速道路の工事で渋滞。1時間で行けるとこを2時間かかりました。


北谷についてからの1時間は本当に時間が足りません。
トイレも激込みで軽食をとったらあっという間に1時間たちました。

口コミを見て不安なこともありましたが、とても素敵な1日になりました。
お子様は酔い止め必須です。

We participated as a couple. We were worried about the weather for our late March trip, but it turned out to be quite nice, with plenty of sunshine and warm weather. During our stroll around Kabira Bay, the sunlight made for great photos. The male tour guide's talk and his performance on the sanshin were also enjoyable! It was a fun time chatting with the other people we spent time with.

夫婦2人で参加。
3月下旬の参加で、お天気が心配だったけれど紫外線たっぷりの暑汗ばむくらいのお天気でまずまず…。
川平湾散策の時も陽射しあり写真も映えました。
男性の添乗員さんのトークと三線も良かったです！
同じ時間を過ごした方々との会話も楽しい時間でした。

Since the tourist spots were far apart, I spent a lot of time dozing off and idly passing the time in the car, but I expected that would be the case.

距離が離れた観光スポットの移動なので、うたた寝、ぼんやり過ごす車中時間が多かったですが、まあそんなものだろうなと想定内でした。

This was my first tour. I was nervous at first, but the tour guide was kind and I enjoyed the tour without any worries. The Churaumi Aquarium was, of course, beautiful, and I was moved by the other places as well.

今回初めてのツアーできた。
最初は緊張しましたが添乗員が親切にしてくれて心配なくツアーを満喫しました。
美ら海水族館はもちろん、他の場所も綺麗で感動しました。

The water buffalo was so cute! I took a picture with it, and even though I didn't plan to buy anything, after seeing the photo, I ended up purchasing it. There was no smell at all, and the guide's stories were interesting, which made it really enjoyable. The bus guide was also very entertaining, and a crowned eagle appeared by chance and he told us about it. I highly recommend it!

水牛可愛かったー
写真を一緒に撮って、買うつもり無かったけど
出来た写真見たらとても良く買ってしまった
匂いも全然無くガイドさんの話も面白くとても良い
バスのガイドさんもとっても話が面白く冠ワシも偶然現れて教えてくれた
とってもオススメ

I wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium since I couldn't drive, so that was my main goal. However, the Submarine Jr. II at Kouri Island, where you can see the beautiful underwater scenery, was more enjoyable than I expected. It was a full-day tour, and I got tired from the sun and heat, but I recommend it for those who want to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but can't drive.

免許が無いので運転はできない状況で美ら海水族館に行きたかったのでそれがメインでしたが、古宇利島も綺麗な海の中が見られるサブマリンJrⅡも思っていたより楽しかったです。丸一日のツアーだったのと日差しと暑さで疲れましたが、美ら海水族館に行きたいけど運転できない人にはおすすめです。

My 86-year-old father also participated. The boat from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island was beautiful. We were able to see plenty of mangroves, and the guide, who was also the bus driver from the port to Yubu Island, was entertaining, making it one of my memorable experiences on Iriomote Island. We rode on water buffalo, and we had enough free time to explore Yubu Island, so I was very satisfied.

86歳の父も参加しました。石垣島から西表島までの船も綺麗。マングローブも思う存分見れたし、船着場から由布島までのバスの運転手さん兼ガイドの方のガイドが面白おかしくて西表島の思い出の一つになりました。水牛に乗ったり、由布島も自由行動で十分見れましたし、大満足です。

I participated because I wanted to explore the sights without a car. It was fun to see various places with explanations, but I wished I had a bit more free time, especially at places like Kabira Bay. When I got on the glass-bottom boat, there was hardly any time to do anything.

車なしで見どころを回りたかったので参加しました。色々解説付きでみれたのは楽しかったけど、川平湾などでもう少し自由時間が欲しかったです。グラスボートに乗ったら何もする時間がないくらいでした。

The guide sang songs for us, and the bus arrived on time, making it a very pleasant trip. The content of the tour was also not bad.

ガイドさんが歌を歌ってくれたり、時間通りにバスが来て、とても気分が良い旅行でした。ツアーの内容も悪くは無い内容でした。

It was a great opportunity to enjoy a view of the sea in Ishigaki Island, have a delicious lunch, and exchange information with the people I met there. The guide's sanshin performance and singing were also wonderful. I made great memories.

石垣島の海を一望したり美味しいお昼を食べたり、そこで出会えた方と情報交換できたりいい機会でした。ガイドさんの三線と歌も良かったです。良い思い出ができました。

It was just as I expected from the bus tour. It was neither good nor bad. If the course suits your preferences, I don't think there will be any issues.

予想していた通りのバスツアーでした。
可もなく不可もなくと言う感じでした。
コース的にお好みであれば問題はないと思いますよ。

Since I participated during the holiday period of spring break, it was crowded in various places. However, the scheduled time was just right, and I was generally able to visit the places I wanted to see. Additionally, the guide's atmosphere was very pleasant, and the explanations were interesting, so I was able to spend the bus time without getting bored.

参加したのが春休み期間の休日ということもあり、各地混雑していました。ですが、設定時間が程よく、見たいと考えていたところは概ね見て回ることができました。
またガイドの方の雰囲気がとても良く、説明も興味深かったためバスの時間も退屈せず過ごすことができました。

The weather was great, and we were able to visit many places. The guide was very polite, and we had a wonderful time! I think it's a great deal to visit so many places in one day for this price!

天候にも恵まれて、たくさんの場所を回れて、ガイドさんもとても丁寧な方で、とても楽しく過ごせました！
一日でこんなに回れてこのお値段は安いと思います！

I was able to ride in a leisurely cart pulled by a water buffalo, and along the way, I listened to the music of the sanshin, which refreshed my spirit. I want to go again.

のんびりした水牛が引く車に乗せていただき、途中サンシン（？）の音楽を聴かせていただきながら、心を洗わせていただきました。
また、行きたいです。

I was able to ride the water buffalo cart twice! It was great to enjoy the atmosphere of the southern island while listening to the shamisen. Personally, I really liked Yufu Island. The water buffalo I got to touch was so cute!

水牛車に2回も乗れました！
三味線聞きながら、南の島の雰囲気があじわえてよかったです。個人的には由布島が良かったです。触れる水牛さんが可愛いかった！

I was able to efficiently visit must-see spots in Okinawa, such as Cape Manzamo, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Additionally, the tour price was reasonable, so I think it's a tour I can recommend to anyone.

万座毛や古宇利島、美ら海水族館など沖縄を訪れたら必ず行きたいスポットを効率よく回ることができた。また、ツアーの値段もお手ごろなので、誰にでもオススメできるツアーだと思った。

This bus tour is quite a bargain. The bus guide entertained us during the trip. The Sefa Utaki was sacred and beautiful, and we also enjoyed Okinawa World! I wish we had an extra 30 minutes at Okinawa World.

このバスツアーはかなりお得。バスガイドさんが移動中も楽しませてくれた。斎場御嶽も神聖で良かったしおきなわワールドも楽しめた！あと30分おきなわワールドの時間があったら良かったかな？

The bus guide was really great, providing insights about the highlights and the area, as well as recommendations for food. If you're planning a long-distance trip for a day, bus tours are definitely a good option!

見どころや地域の解説、おすすめの食べ物のお話しなど、バスガイドさんがとても良かった。日帰りで長距離移動するなら、バス観光もありだな！

I was pulled by a water buffalo across the shallow sea from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart! Although the buffalo was large, I worried if it would be okay with about 18 people on the cart. However, it pulled us strongly, and according to the guide and driver, the buffalo loves to move in the water the most.

Along the way, the guide played "Asadoya Yunta" on the sanshin, which made me feel very warm and happy as I swayed in the water buffalo cart. Yufu Island is a cute island with a somewhat ruined and rough feel, but I accepted it as it is, and I was thrilled by the sign for the yellow Iriomote wildcat!

I was also delighted to see many unique mangrove forests during the mangrove tour. The lunch bento was filled with Okinawan-style side dishes, which made me very satisfied.

I think it was great to participate in this tour where I could see various places.

Next time, I would like to try trekking on Iriomote Island.

海の浅瀬を水牛に引いてもらって西表島から由布島へ渡りました。初めての水牛車‼️大きな水牛ではありましたが車に乗るのが18人ほどで本当に牛さんは大丈夫なのだろうかと心配になりました。しかし力強く引いてくれ、ガイド兼運転手のおじさんの話では水牛は水の中で動くのが一番好きなんだとか。
途中からおじさんが三線で「安里屋ゆんた」を弾いてくれ、とても優しい気持ちになりながら水牛車に揺られ楽しかったです。
由布島はかわいい島でやや廃墟がかった感じと雑な感じもありますが、それはそう言うものだと納得し、黄色のイリオモテヤマネコの看板に感激しました❣️
マングローブ遊覧も変わったマングローブの林をたくさん見れて嬉しかったです。
お昼のお弁当も沖縄らしいおかずがいっぱいで満足でした。

いろいろなところが見れて盛りだくさんのツアーで参加して良かったと思います。

次回は西表島でトレッキングもやってみたいです。

The Okinawan dance I saw for the first time was amazing. I was moved watching the young girls dance powerfully with smiles on their faces. If you come to Okinawa, definitely go see it. It's an unforgettable experience.

初めて見た沖縄踊りすごく良かったです。若い女の子達が力強く、笑顔で踊ってるの観て感動しました。沖縄に来たら是非観に行ってください。一緒忘れない体験です。

I wonder if the mangrove forest was necessary; I could have spent that time at Daishi Forest Mountain instead. I could hardly hear the bus travel guide recording.

マングローブ原生林は、要らなかったかな、その時間を大石林山に回していればなー、バス移動のレコーダー案内はほとんど聴き取れなかった。

We decided to go on a family trip to Ishigaki for the first time and thought about visiting the outer islands. Since planning the itinerary seemed cumbersome, we opted to join a tour. We were able to make effective use of our time from early morning until 6 PM, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much.

初めての石垣家族旅行で離島にいってみようということになり、日程をくむのが面倒なのでツアー参加することにしました。朝早くから18じまで、時間を有効に使え、大変満喫することができました。どうもありがとうございました。

I was able to adjust to the final travel itinerary, and they even took me to the airport. I was able to make effective use of my time. The explanation about the Gangala Valley was also very good. The bus guide had a very nice voice and provided great guidance.

旅行最終日程に合わせることが出来て、しかも空港まで連れていってくれる。時間を有効に使えました。ガンガラーの谷も説明があり、とてもよかったです。ﾊﾞｽ　ガイドさんもとてもいい声で案内してくれました。

I was worried about the rain forecast from the previous day, but I'm glad that the weather forecast for Ishigaki Island was unreliable. The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. Additionally, it was inexpensive due to the ongoing campaign. I missed the free pickup bus, but I managed to board the boat on my own. I almost ended up having to cancel.

前日の雨予報でどうなるかと思いましたが、石垣島の天気予報はあてにならなくて良かったです。天気も良く、とても楽しかったです、また、キャンペーン中で安かった。無料のピックアップのバスに乗り遅れましたが、なんとか自力で乗船できました。危うくキャンセルになるところでした。

Anyway, I was moved by how beautiful Kabira Bay is. There were foreign ships coming in, and it was fun to experience the atmosphere with so many Westerners around.

とにかく川平湾がきれいで感動しました。外国船が入国していて欧米人がいっぱいで外国気分も味わえて楽しかったです。

Saijo-ji Gokoku was disappointing as there were restricted areas due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I couldn't see Kudaka Island. However, at the Gangala Valley, there was a guide, and I was able to quietly enjoy Okinawa's history and mystery.

斎場御獄はコロナ禍で立ち入り禁止エリアもあり、久高島も望めず、残念でした。
ガンガラーの谷はガイドもあり沖縄の歴史と神秘を静かに堪能できました。

Fourth visit to Okinawa, solo trip.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was about time to travel again, and with the nationwide travel subsidy, the bus was almost full and bustling.
Churaumi Aquarium:
There used to be three whale sharks, but now there is only one, and the large tank looks lonely (-_-;) The dolphin show at Okichan Theater was enjoyable even for a solo traveler, with the children's cheers adding to the fun. They are so talented!!
Kouri Island:
I only visited the beach and the roadside station for souvenirs, so I was disappointed that I couldn't go to Heart Rock Tower. The bridge leading to Kouri Island is beautiful no matter when you visit.
Chatan American Village:
It's Christmas Town all year round. The delicious food left me not only in a good mood but also completely satisfied. The sunset at the end was the best.
I appreciate the long bus journey, safe driving, and the support from the guide.

沖縄４回目の訪問で一人旅
コロナ禍でそろそろ限界、全国旅行給付もありバスはほぼ満席で盛況。
美ら海：
３匹いたジンベイザメが１匹になり大きな水槽がさみしそう(-_-;)
イルカショーのオキちゃん劇場はおひとりさまでも、子供の歓声もあり楽しめました。芸達者でいい！！
古宇利島：
ビーチ、道の駅でお土産のみで、ハートロックタワーに行けなかったのが残念。古宇利島へ続く一本橋は何時行っても素敵の一言
北谷アメリカンビレッチ：
一年中クリスマスタウン＊美味しいごはん、気分だけでなくお腹も大満足です。最後のサンセットは最高
長いバス旅、安全運転、ガイドさんのサポートに感謝です。
