All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The introduction of each spot was a day well immersed in the rich history and experience of Okinawa. If there is another opportunity, I look forward to it.

各スポットの紹介は豊かな歴史も沖縄体感をよく漬け込んだ一日てした。またの機会がございましたら、よろしくお願いします。

I thought it would be quite difficult to visit three islands in one day on my own, so I signed up for this tour. At the reception counter, I was given tickets, and I handed them over each time I used the boat, bus, water buffalo cart, or had a meal. While there isn't a dedicated guide, there are people waiting with cards displaying the tour number I was given in advance when I got off the boat or bus, and they let me know what to do next. Following their instructions to get on the vehicles, have meals, and gather at the designated times made it easy to enjoy the experience, even as a solo participant.

個人で3島を1日で回るのはなかなか大変と思い、このツアーに申し込みました。
受付カウンターでチケットを渡され、船・バス・水牛車・食事を利用するたびにチケットを渡していく感じ。専属のガイドがつくわけではありませんが、船やバスを降りれば、事前に教えられたツアー番号のカードを持った方が待っており、次にどうすればよいか教えてくれます。その指示に従って乗り物に乗ったり、食事をしたり、時間になったら集合するだけなので、一人参加でも気軽に楽しめました。

I took a half-day tour in the afternoon. I signed up because I wanted to go to Kabira Bay. The weather was nice, and the glass-bottom boat was amazing. The staff on the glass-bottom boat mentioned that the water clarity wasn't the best today, but it was still really beautiful. Not only the underwater scenery but also the views were stunning. Both the guide and the driver were kind.

午後半日ツアーを利用しました。
川平湾に行きたかったので申し込みました。天気も良くグラスボード最高でした。グラスボードの方は透明度今日はそこまで最高ではないとおっしゃっていましたが凄くきれいでした。海の中だけでなく景色もきれいです。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切でした。

I ended up having to pay a transportation fee of 3,000 yen without any prior explanation. Being told this in the hotel lobby on the day of arrival was quite troubling. This is a complete lack of communication. I'm very disappointed.

事前に説明の無い送迎料3000円を支払う羽目になりました。当日、ホテルのロビーで言われても、困ります。完全に説明不足です。大変がっかりです。

I was very satisfied that I was able to visit two spots in just the morning of my last day of travel! It was great to be taken to places that are not easily accessible without a rental car, and at a reasonable price.

旅行最終日の午前中だけの時間で2つのスポットに行けてかなり満足でした！レンタカーなしではなかなか行けない場所にお手軽な値段で連れて行ってもらえるので大変良かったです。

It was good. It was my first time on a tour with an earphone guide, and it felt a bit lacking. But the guide played the sanshin for us, which was fun.

良かったです。イアホンガイドのツアーが初めてでちょっと物足りなかった。でもガイドさんがサンシンを弾いてくれて楽しかったです。

The stay at Wanmouza and Kouri Island was particularly short, so I couldn't take my time to take photos. I thought there wasn't much to see at American Village, so it might not be worth going.

万毛座と古宇利島の滞在時間が特に短くて、ゆっくり写真を撮ることもできなかった。アメリカンビレッジは特に見る所もなく行かなくても良いかと思いました。

If this your first time to Okinawa, this tour is a good way to see North Okinawa without the hassle of taking public transportation. The bus plays a recorded English commentary for those who can't understand Japanese. Bus was on time and Japanese lady guide was nice. She sang quite a few Okinawan songs during the tour which was entertaining. Good singer too!
After picking up all participants from various hotels, the tour started with a short stop at Cape Manza, then to Kouri Island and a lunch stop after. Next, we went to Churarium Aquarium (150min stay) which is located at Ocean Expo Park with free dolphin show at various time throughout the day , turtle & manatee pool outside the Aquarium. (There're many electric trolley that go around the park for Y200 unlimited ride) Managed to see Emerald Beach, Okinawan Village (I don't find this one interesting), and watched the 15-20min Dolphin show @3pm (this is the highlight of the tour) Walked back to the bus scheduled to leave at 3:40pm
Re: Nago Pineapple Park, nothing much going on here. Walked the Dinosaur botanical garden, sample some wine & snacks.
Overall, if you have time to spare, this is a long but quite enjoyable tour.

I think most of the people who participated in this tour were mainly interested in the Okinawa's Okiishi Forest, and not so much in the Churaumi Aquarium. If possible, I would like to have about 30 more minutes to explore Okiishi Forest at a more leisurely pace. I believe time adjustments can be made at the roadside station afterward, but what do you think?

It was great that we arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium just in time to see the dolphin show.

今回このツアーに参加したほとんどの方が大石林山目当てで美ら海水族館はそんなに興味がない方ばかりだと思います。出来ればもう少しゆっくり大石林山をまわれるようにあと30分ぐらい多めに取って欲しいです。時間調整はその後の道の駅でも出来るかと思いますが如何なものでしょうか？
美ら海水族館に着いてタイミング良くイルカショーが見れたのは良かったです。

Fantastic tour with a very informative and friendly guide and a friendly driver. The schedule was quite well arranged--nothing felt particularly hurried although that could be because we had expected that all stops outside of the main aquarium one would be brief.

The lunch option (available for an additional 1000yen) was very good--beautiful environment and good food at a fair price. For travellers staying in Naha, I'd recommend skipping the Okashigoten shop there (there's a similar one in Naha with the same prices at which the provided coupon can be used) and exploring/ eating lunch instead.

Travellers who wish to visit the Pineapple Park in great detail should note that this tour makes but a brief stop there. There appears to be a few courses available at the Park but the tour only had time for the shopping course. There was barely any time left at the end of the free wine tasting (which I would highly recommend--the wines are pretty interesting) so travellers who wish to make purchases should be quick.

2.5 hours was plenty for the aquarium and the bus was timed such that tour participants had just enough time to catch the dolphin show at the end. Visiting other attractions, however, might be a bit of a squeeze since the park is quite large, as is the aquarium.

Overall, the tour was a great way to see a lot of Okinawa in a day at a very affordable price. Although the guide and driver didn't speak much English, they did their best and it wasn't a large problem. Would recommend!

In the afternoon tour, after finishing, we had a meal on Kokusai Street, bought souvenirs, and returned to our accommodation, making good use of our time. At Masahiro Sake Brewery, we listened to an explanation of the process of making awamori. In the video inside, the employees were dancing with one-sho bottles of awamori balanced on their heads. It was amazing.

The Gyokusendo Cave at Okinawa World was incredibly beautiful, and I was deeply moved. I promised my friend that we would go on a cave exploration in the southern islands next time. The Eisa dance was also cool. At the end of the show, everyone danced together, and it was a lot of fun. I promised my friend that we would come back to Okinawa again. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

午後からのツアーで、終了してから国際通りで食事して、お土産買って宿に戻り
時間を有効につかえました。まさひろ酒造さんでは、泡盛が出来るまでの工程の説明を聞きました。館内のビデオで、従業員さん達が泡盛の一升ビンを頭の上に乗せて踊ってました。すごかったです。
おきなわワールドの玉泉洞は凄く綺麗で
感動しましたー。次は南の島の洞くつ探検に行こうと友人と約束しました。
エイサーもカッコよかったです。ショーの最後にみんなで踊ってとても楽しかったです。また沖縄に来ようと友人と約束しました。楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

This was my first time visiting the Miyako Islands. I came to visit a friend, but I was able to join a quick tour in between, and I could take some photos, which made for great memories! It was my first time seeing the Milky Way with my own eyes, and I think it was worth the price. It felt like being in a planetarium.

However, if the sky is cloudy, the tour gets canceled, so I would have appreciated getting the cancellation notice a bit earlier. The meeting place is a completely dark area with no lights (which is to be expected), so it's a good idea to have clear markers or bring a flashlight.

はじめて、宮古諸島に来島にしました。
友人訪問が目的で来たのですが、ちょっとした合間にサクッとツアーに参加できて、撮影ができたので、良い思い出になりました☆★
肉眼で天の川が見られたのは、はじめてで値段の割には、良いと思います。
プラネタリウムにいるような感覚です。

ただ、曇り空だとツアー自体が中止になるので、催行の連絡をもう少し早めにいただきたかったです。。
集合場所は、電気もまったくない暗～い場所（当たり前ですが）なので、
わかりやすい目印や懐中電灯を持っていくと良いです。

I'm glad I was able to join an efficient tour that was compact and well-organized due to my short travel period. It felt like a tour that took all the best parts without any waste. The stories from the man handling the water buffalo were interesting.

旅行期間が短いので、ぎゅっと凝縮した効率の良いツアーに参加できて良かったと思います。無駄のないいいとこどりのツアーという感じです。水牛をあやつるおっちゃんのお話が面白かったです。

The Churaumi Aquarium was great because I had plenty of time to leisurely explore the exhibits! The bus guide also shared various stories, which made it very enjoyable!

美ら海水族館はとても時間があってゆっくり館内を見ることができて本当に良かったです！バスガイドさんも色んなお話しをしてくださってとても楽しかったです！

I used a tour to Taketomi Island. There was a shuttle from the ferry terminal, but the bus was smaller than I expected, and the road was worse than I imagined. Families with children should be careful.

竹富島へのツアーを利用しました。
フェリーターミナルから、送迎がありましたが、バスが思ったやり小さかったのと、想像以上に道が悪路でした。お子様連れは気をつけてください。

I often visit Okinawa, but I had never been to the northernmost point before. This time, I was able to enjoy the scenery slowly while taking the bus. It was great to visit tourist spots like Cape Hedo, Daichi Forest, and the Churaumi Aquarium.

沖縄にはよく来ていますが、最北端までは行ったことがありませんでした。
今回バスで、ゆっくりと景色を見ながら楽しむ事が出来ました。
辺戸岬・大石林山・美ら海水族館と観光スポットを回ることができたのも良かったです。

The guide sings Okinawan songs in the car, and they are very good and pleasant to the ears. I was able to spend a relaxing time. The driver is also very nice.
At the Valley of Gangala, the guide's explanations are easy to understand. It comes with well-chilled sanpin tea.

ガイドさんが車内で沖縄の歌を歌ってくれます。それがとても上手で耳に心地よいです。癒しの時間を過ごせました。運転手さんも感じがよいです。
ガンガラーの谷はガイドさんの説明がわかりやすい。よく冷えたさんぴん茶付きです。

Nice ride around Okinawa
Loved being able to see a lot without having to drive around with three small children.
They loved the aquarium and I appreciated the lunch and small gifts that came with trip.
Would definitely recommend this to others.

Okinawa World felt like Meiji Mura in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, where I could sense history. The Super Eisa performance was impressive, and it was so much fun to dance together at the end!

Gyokusendo Cave was incredibly beautiful, and I promised to join the cave exploration in the southern islands next time. At Masahiro Shuzo, the explanation of how awamori is made was easy to understand, and even though I couldn't drink it, it looked delicious, so I ended up buying a small bottle. When I see awamori, I think I will look for the Masahiro brand. I wished I had a bit more time at Okinawa World. I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

おきなわワールドは愛知県犬山の明治村のような感じで歴史を感じました。スーパーエイサーは見応えがあり、最後はみんなで踊ってとても楽しかったです〜
玉泉洞は最高に綺麗で次は南の島の洞くつ探検に参加しようと約束しました。
まさひろ酒造さんで泡盛ができるまでの説明わかりやすく飲めないのに美味しそうで、小瓶を買ってしまいました。泡盛を見ると　まさひろ　の銘柄を探しそうです。おきなわワールドは、もう少し時間が欲しかったです。とても楽しい時間をすごせました。ありがとうございました。

I had a full day of fun. It's definitely easier than arranging everything on your own. I can confidently say that it's worth paying for this tour! I highly recommend it!

１日たっぷり遊べました。個人で手配するより断然楽。これだったらお金を払ってもよい！と断言できるツアーでした。おすすめですよ！

I participated with my uncle and aunt, and it became a wonderful memory. I recommended it to my friends! I would like to participate again.

おじさんおばさんで参加しましたが、とてもいい思い出になりました^_^
友人達にもお勧めしました！
また参加したいと思います。

I had a very efficient and enjoyable sightseeing experience in Ishigaki Island and Kabira Bay in just half a day. The female bus guide was very entertaining, making it a fun bus tour. There were eight of us participating, and it was all very enjoyable without any issues.

半日で石垣島及び川平湾の体験ができてとても効率的で楽しい観光が出来ました。バスのガイド(女性)さんがとても面白く楽しいバスツアーでした。
8名での参加でしたが問題なくとても楽しく良かったです。

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined this bus tour. I think it's a great deal as it also takes you to famous tourist spots in Okinawa. The veteran guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, making it pleasant to listen to. Personally, I found the bridge to Kouri Island and the view of the sea from underneath the bridge to be beautiful. The timing felt just right. However, the Churaumi Aquarium was crowded, and if you wait for the crowds to thin out, you might run out of time, so I recommend moving quickly through the exhibits. You can see the key attractions, and the large tank with the whale sharks is breathtaking; you could watch it forever. The dolphin show was also heartwarming. It was a very satisfying tour.

美ら海水族館に行きたくてこのバスツアーに参加しました。水族館の他にも沖縄の有名な観光地をまわれて、大変お得なツアーだと思います。
ベテランガイドさんのお話も説明も丁寧で分かりやすく、聞いていて心地よかったです。
個人的には古宇利島の橋や橋の下から見る海がキレイでとてもよかったです。時間配分は丁度良く感じました。
ただ美ら海水族館は混雑していて、人だかりを空くのを待って見ていると時間が足りなくなるのでサクサク見ることをオススメします。
要所は見ることができ、巨大水槽やジンベイザメは圧巻でいつまでも見ていられます。イルカショーも見ていてほっこりしました。
大満足のツアーでした。

I'm glad I chose the bus tour. I think I would have gotten wet from the rain if I had gone out on my own. The sightseeing was disappointing due to the bad weather, but the guide was talented and great at chatting, so I didn't get bored.

It can be tough to look for a restaurant after coming back tired, so I was glad I reserved a steak dinner. As soon as we entered the restaurant, our meal began, and we had enough time afterward to shop on Kokusai Street.

バスツアーにして良かったです。自分で出かけたら雨で濡れてしまっていたと思います。観光は悪天候で残念でしたが、ガイドさんが芸達者でおしゃべり上手で退屈しませんでした。
疲れて帰った後でレストラン探すのは大変なので、ステーキディナーを予約して良かったです。お店に入ってすぐにお食事が始まり、終わった後で国際通りで買い物ができるほど時間的な余裕がありました。

Following last year, I accompanied my family to participate in the Naha Marathon and arrived in Naha, where I joined a bus tour with my son on Sunday. When I received the message confirming the meeting time, I was delighted to find out that it was the same guide as last year. This year, thanks to the guide who entertained us with songs and dances without a dull moment during the trip, and the polite driver who drove safely, we were able to spend a fun and meaningful day with peace of mind, and my family was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

昨年に続き、那覇マラソン参加の家族に同行して那覇入りし、日曜日に息子とバスツアーに参加しました。
集合時間確認の連絡を頂いた時、昨年と同じガイドさんだと分かり、嬉しくなりました。
今年も道中 退屈する間も無く 歌や踊りを披露して 参加者をリードして下さったガイドさんと、安全運転で礼儀正しいドライバーさんのお陰で、安心しながら楽しく 有意義な一日を過ごすことが出来、家族も大満足でした。
ありがとうございました。

I was looking forward to the half-day Ishigaki sightseeing tour, and thanks to our guide, Mr. Hashizume, and the driver, I had a great time. I was unsure about the glass-bottom boat in the rainy Kabira Bay, but Mr. Hashizume assured me that it probably wasn't murky and that we would be able to see underwater! Since we had come all this way, I decided to go for it, and it was definitely the right choice. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and I even got to see a sea turtle, which made me very satisfied.

Thank you very much! I would love to come back to Ishigaki Island for a revenge trip and experience the four islands tour that I had to cancel this time.

楽しみにしていた半日石垣観光でしたが、ガイドの橋爪さんや運転手さんのおかげで十分楽しめました。雨の川平湾グラスボードもどうしようか迷いましたが、橋爪さんが多分濁ってないので海の中は見れますよ❗️と言ってくださったので折角来たのだからと乗りましたが大正解でした。海の中はきれいでウミガメまで見れて大満足でした。
本当に有難うございました。又リベンジで石垣島に来て今回キャンセルした４島回りも体験したいと思います。

This was my first trip to Okinawa. I had hoped to visit the observation tower and Mihama, but since there were no openings, I chose this option instead.

I wanted to have lunch around the aquarium, so I didn't eat at Okashi Goten, but just looking at souvenirs left me with too much time on my hands. I thought I could explore a bit more since Ocean Expo Park has various facilities, but the bus stop was quite far away, and I only had time to see the aquarium, the manatee pavilion, and the dolphin show. I was hoping to have lunch at a restaurant, but it seemed like there were mostly food court options like burgers and soba, and I didn't have the luxury of taking my time…

Personally, I enjoyed the dinosaur area at Nago Pineapple Park more. I felt there were quite a few souvenir shops, so if I had known, I would have spent more time here instead of on the farm tour.

The guide shared a lot of interesting information about Okinawa at various locations, which was very nice.

As noted, it seems that transportation can be quite delayed. Even at the meeting time and departure time, there was no bus in sight near the hotel, and just when I was about to contact someone, the bus arrived. It would have been reassuring to receive a notification about the delay… (I was quite anxious, wondering if I was at the wrong waiting spot). The return shuttle to the hotel was also an hour late (there were some people who returned late at the departure time as well). I recommend planning your schedule with some extra time.

今回初めての沖縄旅行です。
展望塔と美浜の方希望だったのですが空きがなかったのでこちらにしました。

水族館周りで昼食にしたかったので御菓子御殿で昼食をとらなかったのですが、お土産を見るだけだと時間を持て余してしまいました。
海洋博公園は施設も色々あるので他も少し見て回れるかと思ってたんですがバス停までも結構離れてるし、水族館とマナティー館、イルカショーだけ見てあとは見る余裕もあまりありませんでした。
ランチもどこかレストランで…と思っていたのですが（バーガーやそばなどフードコートのような所が多かった気が…）ゆっくりしてる余裕もなく…(´；ω；`)
ナゴパイナップルパークは個人的に恐竜エリアの方が楽しめました。お土産屋さんが割と多かった印象だったので、判っていれば畑の見学よりこちらに時間取ってました。

ガイドさんが場所場所で沖縄の話を色々して下さりとても良かったです。


注意書きの所にもありますが、交通事情で結構遅れるようです。
集合時間になっても出発時刻になってもホテル付近にバスが見当たらず、連絡しようと思った所にバスが到着。遅れる旨連絡頂けたら安心できたのですが…（待機場所が間違っているのかとかなり焦りました）
帰りのホテルへの送迎も1時間遅れでした(出発時間に遅れて戻ってくる方がいたこともありますが）
余裕をもって予定を組んでおくことをお勧めします。

I was looking forward to stargazing. On the day, I was happy that the weather was perfect, but when the staff who came to pick us up arrived, they first mentioned that due to the full moon, it would be difficult to see the stars, and that cancellation was possible. That was very considerate of them.

I wanted to explore at night, so of course, I decided to participate. It was a place I wouldn't have gone to on my own, as I thought it might be a bit scary, but the staff worked hard to show us various creatures, and we were able to enjoy seeing the night wildlife. Thank you very much.

星空鑑賞楽しみにしてました。
当日天気は最高と喜んでましたが、その日は、綺麗な満月の夜、お迎えに来て下さったスタッフの方、先ず一言、満月のため星を見るのは難しいので、キャンセルも可能ですとの説明を頂きました。凄ーく良心的です。
夜の探索もしたいので、もちろん参加しました。自分たちでは行かない、ちょっと怖いと思う場所でしたが、スタッフの方は、一生懸命私達に色々な生き物を見せようと動いて下さり楽しい夜の生き物を見ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございます。

The first sightseeing spot, Manza Beach, was crowded with foreigners, making it difficult to enjoy. At the main attraction, Churaumi Aquarium, there was plenty of time to fully appreciate it. However, at Nago Pineapple Park, I only had about 20 minutes for a restroom break and shopping due to time constraints. I was really looking forward to visiting Pineapple Park, so I was quite disappointed. I would prefer to skip Manza Beach and spend more time at Nago Pineapple Park instead. However, the bus tour was very convenient, as it included hotel pick-up and drop-off, allowed for drinking, and provided the opportunity to nap during the ride.

最初に観光した万座毛は外国人が多く、満足に観ることができません。
メインの美ら海水族館は時間もたっぷりあり、満足に観ることができます。
ナゴパイナップルパークは、時間がなく、トイレと買い物のみで20分ほどしか滞在できませんでした。パイナップルパークに行くのもとても楽しみにしていたため、がっかりしてしまいました。万座毛をやめて、その分ナゴパイナップルパークにもっと時間をとって頂きたいです。
ただ、バスツアーはやはり、ホテルまで送迎、お酒も飲め、移動中寝ることもでき、非常に楽でした。

I participated with three friends. Unfortunately, as forecasted, the weather was bad with a completely cloudy sky. I received a call saying that the forecast predicted it would clear up after 10 PM, so they changed the schedule and would call again around that time. It really did clear up, and I was surprised that the weather prediction was accurate! I was also amazed by the beautiful starry sky! We were able to take some wonderful photos. Thank you very much!

友人と４人で参加しました。
あいにく予報通り天気が悪く、一面の曇り空でした。
電話を頂き、22時過ぎに晴れてくる予報なのでその時間くらいにまた電話します。と予定変更してくれました。
本当に晴れて来て、天気が当たった事にもビックリ‼️一面の星空にもビックリ‼️
素敵な写真を撮って頂きました。
ありがとうございました❗️
