All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I was picked up at the airport by a cute Hello Kitty taxi (there are only a few of them), which really boosted my spirits (^o^).

The five-hour course included the airport → Kyoda Road Station → Kouri Island → supermarket → hotel in Motobu. The kind female driver was very accommodating, even responding politely to my request to take a picture of the white flowers I saw earlier. She took me to a large local supermarket where I was able to buy unique Okinawan ingredients, allowing me to enjoy Okinawan cuisine every day (since it was a self-catering accommodation).

Why didn't I give it the highest rating? It was because of the downpour during the rainy season, which forced us to give up on visiting Nakijin Castle ruins ^^; I will definitely ask for this service again next time and seek a do-over!

かわいいキティちゃんのタクシー(数台しかない)で空港に迎えに来てくれて、テンションアップ(^o^)

５時間コースで、空港→許田道の駅→古宇利島→スーパー→本部のホテル。
親切な女性ドライバーさんで、「さっき見た白い花の写真を撮りたい」なんていう要望にも丁寧に対応してくれました。
スーパーも地元の大きな店に連れて行ってくれて、沖縄独特の食材を買うことができたので、毎日沖縄料理を楽しめました(基本自炊の宿なので)。

なぜ最高の評価にならなかったか?
それは梅雨のスコールのような雨で、今帰仁城跡観光を断念したから^^;
次の機会にはまたお願いして、リベンジします❢

"Gangala Valley" is a mystical tourist spot where you can feel the ancient history created by nature! Walking while imagining the connection between human history and oneself was a very meaningful experience. The extraordinary atmosphere was truly wonderful.

「ガンガラーの谷」 は、大自然が造りあげた太古の歴史を感じる神秘的な観光スポットです！人類の歴史と自分との繋がりを想像しながら歩くのはとても有意義な時間でした。非日常な感じがとてもよかったです。

I decided to join on short notice when I came to Miyako Island for work! Since I participated alone, I was a bit embarrassed at first, but the staff were easy to talk to and very nice, which helped me relax before the shoot, and I was able to take beautiful photos! I think there are people who want to see the stunning views but feel hesitant about going alone, but if you're unsure, definitely give it a try! I don't think you'll regret it! 😊

仕事で宮古島に来た際に急遽参加を決めました！一人で参加したので最初はちょっと恥ずかしかったのですが、スタッフの方が話しやすく良い方で、撮影前からとてもリラックスして綺麗な写真を撮れました！絶景は見たいけど1人はちょっと、、と思ってる方もいると思いますが、まよってるならぜひ参加してみてください！後悔しないと思います(^^)

I received a message the day before departure that landing on Barasu Island might be difficult due to tide conditions, and since the weather forecast predicted rain, I honestly felt a bit disappointed about participating. On the day of the trip, it started to rain while we were on the ferry heading to Iriomote Island. We listened to the explanation in the welcoming car, and then we started canoeing in the rain. There were three women in their 50s on this trip, and we were in a three-person canoe. Everyone was a beginner and felt anxious, but our guide, Ryusei, provided thorough explanations, and we gradually got the hang of it, making our way through the mangrove forest. The trekking to the waterfall was thrilling as we crossed a river that had risen due to the rain, and we arrived at the waterfall. We took photos in front of a rare waterfall that looked different from usual ones. We also enjoyed paddling back in the canoe. In the afternoon, we were able to land on Barasu Island, which we had given up on, and at two snorkeling spots, we saw wonderful coral reefs and tropical fish. Ryusei was cheerful and attentive throughout, which made us feel really safe and able to enjoy ourselves. For those worried about the weather, I highly recommend this tour as you can have a great time even in the rain!

出発前日に潮位の関係でバラス島上陸が難しいかもしれないとのご連絡を頂き、また、天気予報も雨だったので正直、少しがっかりした気持ちでの参加でした。当日はフェリーで西表島へ向かう途中から雨。お迎えの車内で説明を聞き、雨の中カヌーがスタート。50代女3人旅で、カヌーも3人乗り。皆初体験で不安がありましたが、ガイドのりゅうせい君が丁寧に説明して下さり、次第にコツを掴み、マングローブの森の中を進む事が出来ました。滝までのトレッキングは、雨で増水した川を横切ったりとスリル満点の中滝に到着。普段の滝とは様子が違うレアな滝の前で写真撮影。帰りのカヌーも楽しく漕ぎました。午後のシュノーケリングは、諦めていたバラス島にも上陸出来、2カ所のポイントで、素晴らしい珊瑚礁と熱帯魚を見ることが出来ました。りゅうせい君が終始明るく細かく声をかけてくれたので、本当に安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。天候で悩んでる方には雨でも全く心配なく楽しめるツアーなので、オススメしたいです！

First of all, the tour price is attractive.
With the airport transfer included, this price is a great deal.

Sefa Utaki, being a World Heritage site, had a majestic atmosphere.
The explanations from the veteran bus guide were easy to understand, and I thought, "This is professionalism."

I wanted to take more time at Okinawa World.
I felt a bit unsatisfied, and it was disappointing that we arrived at the airport more than 30 minutes earlier than scheduled.

まずは　ツアー料金が魅力的です
空港までの送迎も入って　この料金はお得です

斎場御獄は　さすが世界遺産だけあり
荘厳な雰囲気でした
ベテランバスガイドさんの説明も　わかりやすくて
これぞ　プロフェッショナルだなと思いました

おきなわワールドは　もっとゆっくり見たかったです
物足りないな　と思っているのに
空港到着が　30分以上も予定より早かったのが
残念だな　と思いました

I was guided to a special hidden spot and was able to find the long-awaited coconut crab! Although I couldn't see the stars, both the jungle exploration and the search for the coconut crab were things I couldn't do on my own, so I was very satisfied! Also, the habu snakes are scary. (I found two of them.)

とっておきの穴場スポットに案内いただき、念願のヤシガニを見つけることができました！星は見えなかったけど、ジャングル探検もヤシガニ探しも個人ではできないことなので、大満足でした！あとハブは怖い。(2匹みつけました

The mangrove tour was amazing! The guide's explanations were interesting and their knowledge was incredible!

The water buffalo was cute too!

マングローブツアー最高でした！ガイドさんの説明が面白くて知識も半端なかった！

水牛も可愛かった！

In a word, I highly recommend this fun-filled tour.

It was my first time seeing mangroves, and my wife and I leisurely paddled along in a canoe. The guide was fantastic and took a lot of photos for us. It rained a bit, just a light drizzle, but it added to the nice atmosphere.

For lunch, we went to a local restaurant at our own expense (as mentioned in the tour description). I'm glad I brought cash.

In the afternoon, we took a boat to Balas Island for snorkeling. Since we wore life jackets, we didn't sink. The water was clear, there were corals, and we even saw fish from the movie Finding Nemo. The guide took many photos during this time as well. I borrowed prescription goggles for snorkeling, which allowed me to see the fish clearly. I also rented a wetsuit, which helped keep me warm when returning to the boat after snorkeling.

Overall, the guide was very enthusiastic and provided great guidance while taking photos, making the experience really enjoyable.

一言で言えば、楽しさ満載のツアーでオススメ。

マングローブは、自分は見るのは初めてで、妻との二人乗りカヌーでゆっくりと進む。ガイドさんはすごく良くて、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。雨は若干降っていて、少しの小雨程度でしたが、それがまたいい雰囲気を出していました。

ランチは、自腹で(そういう説明がツアーに書いてある)で、地元のお店に入りました。現金持っていってよかったです。

午後は、ボートでバラス島に行ってスノーケリング。ライフジャケットを付けているので、沈みません。また、水も綺麗で、サンゴもあり、映画のニモもいました。この時もガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれました。　　
あと、自分はスノーケリングの時は度付きのゴーグルを借りました。はっきり魚が見えてよかったです。あと、ウェットスーツも借りました。その方が、スノーケリング終わってからボートに戻っても寒くないですね。


全体として、ガイドさんがとても楽しそうに色々案内してくれて、写真を撮ってくれるのですごくよかったです。

On the day of the event, the weather changed rapidly; just when I thought it was pouring rain, shortly after, there was strong sunshine that could dry wet clothes in no time. However, I was told that this is not particularly unusual for the area, so I think it's better for participants to prepare rain gear even if it's sunny in Naha.

When traveling in Okinawa, especially on the main island, tourists who cannot drive have a very limited range of activities, so tours that take you to distant places are very appreciated. It would be helpful if more options could be added.

参加当日はとにかくお天気がころころ変わり、強い雨に降られたと思ったら、その少し後には、濡れた衣服もあっという間に乾いてしまいそうな強い日差しが…
でも、この地域では特に珍しいことではないと言われましたので、参加される方は那覇では晴れていても雨具の用意はしていったほうがいいかと思います。
沖縄旅行、特に本島では、車を運転できない観光客は行動範囲がかなり狭くなってしまうので、このような遠方まで連れて行ってくれるツアーはとてもありがたいものでした。
さらに種類を増やしていただけると助かります。

The pickup was on time. During the bus ride, the guide shared detailed information about Okinawa and the sightseeing spots. I was glad to learn so much. Since I'm traveling alone and don't have a car, I always use the bus in Okinawa, but with this kind of tour, it's convenient and enjoyable because you just sit back and get taken to the destinations. Although it was a half-day tour, I was able to spend a more fulfilling time than I had imagined.

時間通りにお迎え。移動のバス内で、ガイドさんが、沖縄の事や、観光するスポットについて、詳しくお話ししてくださいました。
色々知る事ができてよかったです。
1人旅だし、車はないしなので、沖縄はいつもバス利用なのですが、こういうツアーは乗っているだけで、連れて行ってもらえるので、便利で楽です。
半日ツアーですが、想像したより充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

The staff was very kind and friendly, and I had a lot of fun and made great memories! I'm not very good at swimming, but they swam close by, which made me feel safe! I was able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see right away, and I got to see many of them (*^^*) They also took me to beautiful coral spots, making for a very fulfilling and enjoyable time. The photos they took were incredibly beautiful, and I’m really glad I asked for their help! I would love to request their services again when I visit Miyako Island. Thank you very much!

とても親切で気さくなスタッフの方でとても楽しく良い思い出ができました！泳ぐのはあまり得意ではない私ですが、近くでしっかり見ながら泳いでくれるので安心しました！
念願のウミガメにもすぐに会うことができ、沢山のウミガメを見ることができました(*^^*) サンゴが綺麗なスポットにも案内してくれたり、とても充実して楽しい時間でした。撮ってくれた写真ますごく綺麗で良い写真ばかりで、本当にこちらでお願いして良かったです！また宮古島に行く際はお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました！

Last year, when I visited Taketomi Island, I was captivated by the water buffalo, so this time I wanted to ride one by the seaside and joined this tour. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but I was still able to enjoy the mangroves on Iriomote Island, the water buffalo on Yubu Island, and the water buffalo on Taketomi Island. Especially on Yubu Island, I was able to touch the water buffalo, which was amazing. I think it would have been even more fun if the weather had been clear, so I hope to visit again someday.

昨年、竹富島に行った際に水牛に魅せられてから、今度は海辺で水牛に乗りたいと思い、本ツアーに参加しました。あいにくの雨天でしたが、西表島でのマングローブも由布島での水牛も、竹富島での水牛も楽しむことができました。特に由布島では水牛に触れることもできて最高でした。晴天だったらもっと楽しいだろうなと思いますので、いつか再訪したいと思います。

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I booked a tour for the last day. We had a female driver who shared various stories with us. Since we had plenty of time before our flight, we were able to visit breathtaking spots beyond our planned itinerary and enjoy delicious pineapple juice, creating many wonderful memories! I want to come back to Ishigaki Island again! When I do, I hope to have your assistance once more.

初の石垣島、最後の日にツアーを入れました。女性の運転手さんで、色々な話を聞かせていただきました。飛行機の時間まで余裕があったので、予定していた場所以外の絶景スポットや、美味しいパイナップルジュースが飲めたり、素敵な思い出が沢山出来ました！石垣島にまた来たい！その時はまた、よろしくお願いします。

It was my first time snorkeling with sea turtles, but our guide, Kometchi, made it so enjoyable that the time flew by✨ I got to see sea turtles three times and even spotted Nemo, so I was very satisfied. Thank you so much, Kometchi!

はじめてのウミガメシュノーケリングだったけど、ガイドのこめっちが楽しく案内してくれてあっという間でした✨ウミガメにも3回会えて、ニモも見れて大満足ですこめっちありがとーーーう

The Miyako Blue sea was so beautiful that I can't put it into words. I was able to swim with sea turtles in such an incredibly stunning ocean!! The drone footage also became a wonderful memory of our family trip. The staff were kind and fun, making it easy for me to relax and participate, even though I can't swim. For someone who is afraid of water, being able to swim with sea turtles is the best memory. Thank you very much!!

宮古ブルーの海、言葉にできないほどきれいでした。感動するほどきれいな海でウミガメと泳げました！！
ドローン撮影も家族旅行の記念になりました。
スタッフの方も親切で楽しい方で、泳げない私でもリラックスして参加できました。
水が怖い私がウミガメと泳げたこと、最高の思い出です。ありがとうございました！！

We went with our 5 and 3-year-old children, and the experience was so packed that we enjoyed it without wasting any time. I would like to go again next time.

5歳3歳の子連れで行きました、１日で凝縮したような内容なんで無駄な時間なく楽しめました。
また行く時はお願いしたいです

Although there was a forecast for rain on Iriomote Island, it turned out to be sunny during the day, so I booked a stargazing tour. Even though it was the same day, they provided transportation to the hotel. The guide's explanations were great, and I was able to learn more about Iriomote Island for the first time. We observed various plants and animals, including coconut crabs, habu snakes, and crabs. It was a rare experience to step into the lush forest at night. When we emerged from the forest onto the beach, I wanted to say it was a sky full of stars! However, there were a few clouds, and the moon was out, so it wasn't quite the starry sky I had imagined, but I still experienced a wonderful night sky. If I have another chance, I will participate again.

雨の予報が出ていた西表島でしたが、なんと日中晴れたため、星空観測ツアーを予約しました。当日でしたが、ホテルまで送迎していただきました。ガイドの方の説明も良く、初めての西表島をより深く知ることができました。動植物鑑賞は、ヤシガニ、ハブ、カニなど。夜に草木茂る森に足を踏み入れることがないため貴重な体験。森を抜けてビーチに出ると、一面の星空！と言いたいとこでしたが、少し雲がかかり、月も出ていたため、思い描いていたような星空とまでは行きませんでしたが、素敵な星空を体験出来ました。またチャンスがあれは参加します。

Unfortunately, the weather was bad, but that's why it was great to easily visit the sightseeing spots on the bus tour. Listening to the shamisen live performance while enjoying Ryukyu cuisine was the highlight. I highly recommend it!

あいにく天気は悪かったですが、だからこそバスツアーで楽に観光名所を巡れてよかったです。
あんがまでの三味線ライブを聴きながらの琉球料理はハイライトでした。
おススメです！

At the first destination, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we were able to spend about two and a half hours exploring, including lunch. Since we had brought our own bento, we didn't need to spend time waiting in line at the shops or restaurants for lunch, which gave us some extra time. If it were crowded, it might be a bit tight to see everything.

After that, we visited Kouri Island, Manzamo, and Okashi Goten, but the stay at each location was about 20 minutes, so it felt a bit rushed, and we were busy getting on and off the bus.

The veteran bus guide had prepared various stories to keep us entertained during the journey, which was enjoyable. That said, it wasn't too lively, so if you're not interested, it's perfectly fine to relax and doze off during the ride.

Considering that the aquarium admission fee is included, I think it's a very good value tour.

最初の訪問地である美ら海水族館では、お昼を挟んで2時間半ほど見学することができました。予め、お弁当を持参していたので、昼飯のために売店やレストランに並ぶ時間が不要だったため、時間的には余裕がありました。混在時だと、全部を観るにはギリギリかも知れません。

その後、古宇利島・万座毛・御菓子御殿と続けての訪問になったのですが、各所の滞在時間が20分程度なのでやや駆け足なのと、バスに乗ったり降りたりと忙しい感じでした。

ベテランのバスガイドさんが、道中を飽きさせないようにいろいろとネタを用意してくれていて、楽しめました。とは言え、それほど賑やかでもないので、興味が無ければゆっくり居眠りしながらの移動も大丈夫だと思います。

水族館の入場料も込みということで、大変お得なツアーだと思います。

As others have mentioned, there were various souvenirs along the way, and the content was rich and enjoyable, making it a truly wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

Personally, I felt that our guide, Uchida, was very professional yet approachable, adding a special touch to the overall tour. (It seemed like he had done a lot of studying as well.)

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

他の方が書いていらっしゃるとおり、ところどころでいろいろなお土産がついたり、内容も濃く、楽しく、とても素晴らしかったです。
有難うございます。

個人的にはガイドのウチダさんがとてもプロでかつ親しみやすく全体のツアーに彩を加えていたように感じでいます。（いろいろ勉強もされている様子）

機会があればまた参加したいです。

We were able to see turtles right away, and the children were very happy. It was great that they took us to a fishing spot as well. The guide was kind to the kids, and they quickly got comfortable, allowing us to enjoy the tour. After the tour, it was nice that they recommended some shops to us.

すぐにカメにも会えて、子ども達も喜んでました。
魚のポイントにも連れて行ってくれてよかったです。ガイドさんも子どもに優しくしてくれてすぐに慣れて楽しくツアーを進めることが出来ました。ツアー後もおススメのお店などを教えてくれてよかった。

I missed the return boat. There were many tour operators' boats, and while I was checking the time at the boarding area, I ended up missing my tour's boat. I understand it was my own carelessness, but for someone visiting for the first time, it's normal to wait at the boarding area, and I wish the return boat schedule was a bit clearer.

帰りの船に乗れませんでした
沢山の観光業者の船があり、
乗船場に記入している時刻を見てしまい
自分のツアーの船に乗れませんでした
自身の不注意とはわかっていますが、
初めて行った者は普通に乗船場で待機するし、
帰りの船の時刻がもう少しわかりやすいと
いいなと思いました

I participated in a bus tour during Golden Week. Unfortunately, it rained, but the bus guide shared stories about the history of Okinawa, and I learned so much that was new to me. Since it was raining, the bus guide and the driver kindly offered umbrellas to keep themselves dry, which was very thoughtful! The bus guide also sang songs, and it was a lot of fun! At the end, they sang "Hana," and it was very moving. Thank you very much! I would like to join again next time when it's sunny.

GWにバスツアーに参加しました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、バス内ではバスガイドさんが沖縄の歴史についてお話をしてくれて初めて知る沖縄ばかりでした。
雨だったので、バスガイドさんと運転手さんが濡れないように傘を差し出してくれたりとても親戚でした！
あとバスガイドさんが歌を歌ってくれてすごく楽しかったです！最後に花を歌ってくださり、とても感動しました。ありがとうございました！
また次は晴れたときに参加したいです。

The Valley of Gangara feels like a mini jungle adventure at just the right distance! You can enjoy walking with a water bottle hanging and holding a lamp a bit. The drink in the water bottle is Okinawa's unique sanpin tea, which is also included in the tour.

ガンガラの谷は、程よい距離でプチジャングルの探検してる感じ！
水筒をぶら下げてランプも少し持って歩くのもあり、楽しめると思います。
水筒の中味は、沖縄ならではのさんぴん茶、コレもツアーに含まれてます。

The weather was clear on the day, and I was able to participate happily. The lunch was more delicious than I imagined, and I was satisfied to eat while looking at the sea. It's a tour where you can fully enjoy nature!

当日は晴れて、楽しく参加出来ました。お昼は想像以上に美味しく、海を見ながら食べることが出来、満足です。自然を堪能できるツアーです！

I received my ticket and boarded the boat. It was as smooth as a production line. The lunch on Yufu Island was even more delicious than I expected! I had a great time. I think it was more cost-effective than arranging everything individually.

チケットを渡され、船に乗ります。流れ作業のようにスムーズでした。由布島での昼食も予想以上に美味しかったです！とても楽しかったです。
普通に個人で手配して回るよりコスパがいいと思いました。

I participated in Teru's tour. I was able to see the Sakishima habu, Kakure iwa-gani, purple land hermit crab, Ryukyu green frog, and the okagani! I was told that seeing three habu was quite rare. Although I couldn't see any coconut crabs in the jungle, I was thrilled to encounter a coconut crab standing alone at the observation deck at the end! The local guide's predictions were spot on.

Despite the unfortunate weather, I would like to come back when the starry sky is beautiful. Thank you very much!

テルさんのツアーに参加しました。サキシマハブ、カクレイワガニ、ムラサキオカヤドカリ、リュウキュウアオガエル、オカガニが見れました！ハブは3匹も見ることができ、珍しいと教えていただきました。ジャングルの中ではヤシガニが見れませんでしたが、最後に展望台にポツンと佇むヤシガニに出会えて、テンション上がりました！さすが現地ガイドさんの読み通りです(^^)
生憎の天気でしたが、今度は星空が綺麗に見える時にまた来たいと思います。ありがとうございました！

I was able to enter a jungle that is usually off-limits and encountered rare insects and animals. Despite the bad weather, our guide was enthusiastic in searching for them, and I was very satisfied to see things like the habu snake, coconut crab, and hermit crab!

普段立ち入ることのできないジャングルの中に入って、珍しい虫や動物と出会えました。
天候が悪い中ガイドさんが熱心に探してくれ、ハブや、ヤシガニ、ヤドカリなど見ることが出来大満足です！

The guide's lively and enthusiastic guiding was very good! I was able to feel a part of Ishigaki Island's nature, and it became a wonderful memory! It was a bit disappointing that the cloudy sky was due to the rainy season, so I would like to participate again!

ガイドさんのハツラツとしたガイディングがとても良かったです！石垣島の自然の一端を感じられ良き思い出となりました！梅雨入りでの曇り空が少し残念だったのでまた参加したいです！

The guide was amazing! They were interesting and provided detailed information about the island, which was very educational! I want to go again!

ガイドの方が最高でした！
面白くて、島のことも詳しく教えてくれるので
とても勉強になりました！
また行きたいです！
