Okinawa
It was right in the middle of the Obon holiday, but there were no traffic jams, and we were able to smoothly visit sightseeing spots and go trekking, which was great. Listening to the guide's explanations really added depth to the experience, even when visiting the same places. We thoroughly enjoyed the mangroves, trekking, and the Okinawa rail in Yanbaru!
お盆休みの真っ只中でしたが渋滞もなく、観光スポットでの見学やトレッキングもスムーズに進めて良かったです。
やはりガイドさんの説明を聞くと、同じ所を見学しても深みが有ると思います。
マングローブ、トレッキング、ヤンバルクイナ
やんばるを大満喫しました‼️
I've been to Okinawa several times, so I wanted to participate to visit places I haven't been to yet! I was satisfied with being able to see various things, enjoy delicious food, and buy local souvenirs. The mango I bought at the roadside station was delicious, so I recommend it for mango lovers!
沖縄には何度か行っているので、行ったことがないところに行きたいなと思って参加しました!
色々な物が見れて、美味しいご飯が食べれて、その土地ならではのお土産も買えて満足です。
道の駅で買ったマンゴーが美味しかったので、マンゴー好きにはおすすめです!
It was our first time on Iriomote Island with our family of five (with a 9th grader, a 7th grader, and a 4th grader). I was a bit nervous about what to expect, but both the trekking and canoeing were just right for beginners, and we all had a great time. They provided us with hats, bags that could get dirty, and waterproof bags, which was very helpful for our family, as we were all beginners.
We swam in the waterfall pool, and the kids wanted to wear goggles (I think I'll bring goggles next time). Additionally, we received photos via LINE at the end, which became wonderful memories. We were also able to rent a shower and bath towels for an extra fee, so we could clean up before heading back to port.
We're already talking about wanting to go again on our next trip! Thank you for everything!!
家族5人で、初の西表島でした。(中3.中1.小4の息子です)
どんなものかドキドキでしたが、トレッキングもカヌーも程よい感じで初心者でも楽しめました。
帽子、汚れても良いバッグ、防水袋も貸して頂き、全てが初心者だった我が家には、とても有り難かったです。
滝壺で、泳いだのですが、子供らはゴーグルを付けたがってました。(次回はゴーグルを持って行こうと思います。)
また、最後に写真もLINEで頂けたので、思い出になりました。
別料金で、シャワーと、バスタオルを貸してもらえたので、綺麗にしてから帰港できました。
次回の旅行の時も行きたいね!と話しています。
お世話になりました!!
Since I was a paper driver traveling alone, I made an immediate decision when I found this tour. The earphone guide on the bus was also very good! I was impressed that we could reach the far end of Okinawa in just one day.
ペーパードライバーのひとり旅だったのでこのツアーを見つけた時には即決しました。車内でのイヤホンガイドもとても良かったです!日帰りで沖縄の端まで行けたことに感動しました。
We used a minivan for a tour with 8 participants. We were blessed with good weather and were able to efficiently visit various sightseeing spots in the northern region. The time spent at each location was sufficient. The seafood lunch was very delicious. We also enjoyed mineral water, shikwasa juice, Nago's manju, and cheesecake tart, making it a very satisfying tour. The driver was safe, and the guide's explanations and tour management were excellent. I highly recommend this tour.
8名参加のツアーのためミニバンの利用でした。天気に恵まれ、効率良く北部の観光地各地を廻れました。各地の滞在時間も十分でした。海鮮ランチは大変おいしかったです。ミネラルウォーター、シークヮーサージュース、名護のおまんじゅう、チーズケーキタルトも頂けて大満足のツアーでした。ドライバーさんは安全運転、ガイドさんの説明、添乗業務も申し分ありませんでした。おすすめのツアーです。
I am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a tour that showcases such untouched nature. I recommend it to those who have visited Okinawa several times.
However, on the day of the tour I participated in, the bus was slightly delayed from the meeting time. Although we were told to contact them in case of delays, the contact number provided in the printed itinerary was unreachable before the boarding time, which raised some concerns. I suggest that the planning company confirm this with the local company, including whether my observation was correct.
こういったありのままの自然しかないところをツアーとして楽しく見せていただいたことに感謝です。何回か沖縄に行かれたかたにはおすすめです。
なお、たまたま私が参加したツアーでは当日、バスが集合時間から若干送れましたが、遅れた場合必ず連絡するようにと言われていたにもかかわらず、私が印刷していた企画書では、その場合の連絡先の電話番号が搭乗時刻前にはそもそも音信が取れないことにになっていたなどいかがと思われることもありましたので(私のこの指摘が間違っていなかったかどうかなども含め)企画会社の方では現地会社と確認してください。
The plan itself is commendable. Especially since places like the area around Higashimura and the Quina exhibition facility are difficult to access, this is helpful.
Since it's a loop, the seats on the right side are on the land side and can be dazzling in the sun during this time of year. Additionally, since the windows are generally closed, there may be ventilation issues if there are many participants.
It might also be a good idea to start from Nago or Motobu instead of Naha to increase the number of stay points.
企画そのものは評価できる。特に東村周辺やクイナ展示施設等は行きにくい場所にあるので、助かる。
周回なので右側席は陸側かつこの時期は日向側でまぶしい。また、基本的に窓は締切なので参加者が多い場合は換気の問題が出る。
那覇でなく名護・本部発にして滞在ポイントを増やしても良いかもしれない。
I was amazed by the views of the large rock formations at the Oishi Forest and was able to see the mangroves up close from the walking path. In the Kuina Forest, I had the chance to observe the adorable Yanbaru Kuina up close. The weather was also favorable, and from Cape Hedo at the northernmost point, I could see Yoronjima. I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sea and mountains in the Yanbaru World Heritage Site.
遊歩道からマングローブを間近に見たり、大石林山の景観に圧倒されました。また、クイナの森では愛らしく動くヤンバルクイナを間近で観察できました。
天候にも恵まれ、最北端の辺戸岬からは与論島を見ることができました。
やんばるの世界自然遺産の海と山の素晴らしさに感動しました。
I recommend the Odd Rock and Giant Stone Course for exploring Oishi Forest Mountain. There are various power spots, and I received a lot of energy. It was amazing to see the Okinawa Rail as well.
大石林山の散策は奇岩・巨石コースがおすすめです。色々とパワースポットがあり、いっぱいパワーを頂きました。ヤンバルクイナも見学できて最高でした。
Despite the rain, we were able to go canoeing and see the impressive waterfall with more water than usual! It felt like an adventure, and we had a great time! The guide also sent us the photos taken during the tour for free, which made us very happy. Additionally, they kindly took us back to the hotel when we wanted to return, keeping an eye on the ferry schedule. Thank you for your kindness!
雨の中でしたが、カヌーもでき、普段より水量の多い大迫力の滝も見れました!
おかげでサバイバル感あってとっても楽しかったです!
ガイドさんがツアー中に撮ってくれた写真も無料で送っていただき大満足でした。
また、最後フェリーの時間を気にしていただき、一旦ホテルに戻りたい私達を個別に送っていただきました。親切にありがとうございました。
I previously participated in this course when the Churaumi Aquarium was included. It was fun back then, but I joined again because there were several facilities in Yanbaru that weren't part of the course before.
The Yanbaru Kuina was incredibly cute! Just that made it worth coming. Even though it was through glass, I could observe it quite closely. The seafood set lunch and the souvenir snacks were all delicious as well.
Perhaps because it was Sunday, the cafeteria was quite crowded, and the guide who brought the food seemed to have a tough time. Thank you for your hard work...
I was very satisfied with the content. I would like to participate again.
以前美ら海水族館がコースに入っていた頃に参加した事があります。その時も楽しかったのですが、このコースは以前はなかったやんばるの施設がいくつかあったため再び参加しました。
ヤンバルクイナちゃんがとにかく可愛かった!これだけでも来てよかった。ガラス越しですがかなりじっくり観察できます。お昼の海鮮定食やお土産のお菓子もみんな美味しかったです。
日曜だからか食堂がかなり混んでて、運んでくれるガイドさんが大変そうだった。お疲れ様です…
内容はかなり満足。また参加したいです。
It was a half-day course with light hiking from the canoe! The guides were very attentive with their conversations and explanations, and I had a fantastic experience with this activity!! I definitely want to use this service again!
カヌーから軽いハイキングの半日コースでした!
ガイド方が会話も説明も気遣いもとても良く非常に良いアクティビティーが経験できました!!
また是非利用したいと思います!
We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. After reading reviews, we decided on this tour, and it was a great choice!
The guide was very kind, and their explanations were easy to understand and entertaining. I was also very happy that they took photos at key points.
I wasn't confident in my physical strength, but I was able to safely participate in both kayaking and trekking, creating the best memories! Thank you very much. If there's another opportunity, I will definitely use your services again. ^_^
新婚旅行で夫婦で参加させていただきました。
口コミを見てこちらのツアーに決めましたが、大正解でした!
ガイドの方はとても親切で、お話しはわかりやすくて面白かったです。
要所要所で写真も撮ってくださったことも、とても嬉しかったです。
私は体力に自信がなかったけど、カヤックもトレッキングも無事に安全に参加することが出来、最高の思い出になりました‼︎
本当にありがとうございました。
また機会があったら利用させていただきます^_^
I participated with my elderly parents. It was helpful that the tour started and ended in Naha City. I was glad to finally visit Cape Hedo and Daichi Forest, and to meet Kuta-kun, the Okinawa rail! The tour was the day after the rainy season ended, so it was sunny and hot, but the bus travel made it comfortable!
高齢の両親と参加しました。
那覇市内発着が助かりました。
一度行ってみたかった辺戸岬や大石林山、ヤンバルクイナのクータ君にも会えて良かったです!
梅雨明けの次の日にツアーだったので晴天で暑かったけどバス移動なのでらくちんでした!
It was better than I had expected. Especially the trekking. I am satisfied. The local guide at Yanbaru National Park was also attentive and good.
考えていた以上によかった。
とくにトレッキング。満足してます。
やんばる国定公園での現地ガイドも丁寧で良かったです。
The content itself is not bad. They distributed some souvenir-like items, but I didn't expect them and they are unnecessary. Unnecessary costs reflect in the price, so they should stop that. However, overall, I think it's reasonable.
内容自体悪くない。 なんかおみやげ的なものを配布されたが、期待していないし不要。無駄なコストは価格に反映するので辞めるべき。
でも、総合的にリーゾナブルだと思う。
Among the many activity companies, this one was a big hit. I was surprised by the wealth of knowledge of the staff member who assisted us. I would like to use their services again in the future, and I highly recommend this company!
数あるアクティビティ会社でしたが大当たりでした。
担当してくださったお兄さんの知識の豊富さにびっくりしました。
今後も利用したいですし、おすすめの会社です!
My impression after finishing the tour is that it would be difficult to cover such a course in one day on my own. I didn't have to drive, I could listen to the guide's announcements at various points, there were appropriate bathroom breaks, I could eat a delicious lunch without needing a reservation, and I could sleep if I felt drowsy. It was a very fulfilling tour. Thanks to the guide's thoughtfulness, I had a great time. I also felt comfortable due to the driver's safe driving. It was a very good tour. I highly recommend it.
ツアーを終えての感想は、個人でこれだけのコースを一日で回るのは困難だと思いました。
運転する必要がなく、随所でアナウンスガイドが聞けて、適切なトイレ休憩もあり、美味しい昼食を予約せずにすぐに食べられて、眠くなったら寝られる。とても充実したツアーでした。ガイドさんの心配りで大変楽しく過ごすことができました。また運転手さんの安全運転のおかげで気分よく過ごせました。とてもよいツアーです。オススメします。
Challenging ourselves with activities was the goal this time. Having accumulated many years, I participated with a bit of concern about my physical strength while canoeing and climbing mountains. Under the appropriate advice of our tour navigator, I was able to spend a very enjoyable half-day in an extraordinary experience. I will never forget the emotion I felt when I looked up at the Pinai Sara Falls! The plunge into the waterfall pool was also incredibly refreshing and the best part. I enjoyed homemade rice balls, which quickly restored my energy, and I am grateful for the fulfilling time I had.
アクティビティへの挑戦!が目的の今回、年をたくさん重ねてきただけに、カヌーを漕いで、山を登り・・・体力に一抹の不安を覚えながらの参加でした。
ツアーを引っ張るナビゲーターの方の適切なアドバイスのもと、とても楽しい非日常の半日を過ごすことが出来ました。
ピナイサーラの滝を見上げた時の感動は忘れることがないでしょう!
滝つぼ(?)へのドボン!も、まぁ、気持ちの良かったこと、最高でした。
手作りのおにぎりをいただき体力も一気に回復、充実した時間を過ごせたことに感謝し、報告します。
In the northern part of Yanbaru, I participated in my first solo bus tour. On the day of the tour, it was cloudy with occasional rain, and I was a bit anxious, but the cheerful greeting from the tour guide immediately put me at ease. The information I heard through the earphones was also educational. Thanks to the guide's flexible responses, I was able to visit the mangrove walkway, see the stunning view of Route 58 and Daishi Forest, enjoy lunch (which was a heavy downpour at that moment), visit Cape Hedo (a breathtaking view), and at Daishi Forest, I could admire the strange rocks, forest, and sea, managing to complete all the courses even though I wasn't very confident on my feet.
I was able to see the Yanbaru Kuina, and I realized that it was great to efficiently explore and learn through this tour rather than going without any knowledge. By the way, I had a great time chatting at the local sweets shop at the roadside station we stopped at (the tart and cream puffs were the best).
Next time, I want to stay in the northern area and take my time to revisit the places on my own. I must mention the tour guide, YK! Even though she must have been more tired than I was after two consecutive tours, she kept the atmosphere bright and lively throughout. What a professional! Her parting words, "Let's meet again someday!" really touched me.
K-san, I would love to see you again! Thank you very much.
やんばる北部、初の独りバスツアーで、当日は曇り空ぽつぽつ雨の中不安ながらの参加でしたが、最初の添乗員さんの底抜けに明るいご挨拶に心も解れ、イヤホンで所々聞く案内も勉強になりました。添乗員さんの臨機応変なご対応で、マングローブの遊歩道、ルート58と大石林山のツーショット、お昼ごはん(ここだけ大雨)、辺戸岬(絶景)、そして大石林山では奇岩、森林、海を眺めながら、足に自信がない私でも全てのコースを廻ることができました。
ヤンバルクイナも見られたし、何も知らないで行くより先ずこちらのツアーで効率よく廻って学べたのは良いなと。
そうそう、最後立ち寄った道の駅の地元のスイーツ屋さんでお話も出来て(タルト、シュークリーム最高)楽しかったです。
次回は北部に宿をとり、ゆっくり自分の足で復習に廻りたいと思いました。
特筆は、添乗員さんのYKさん!2連続の添乗で私よりも疲れていらっしゃるでしょうに、通して明るく元気に盛り上げてくださり、なんてprofessional!最後降車時の『またいつか会いましょうね~!』の一言は染みました。
K子さん、また是非お会いしたいです!
ありがとうございました。
The rainy season has begun in Okinawa. I was worried about the rain, but the mountains drenched in rain looked beautiful, and the plants appeared vibrant. Since there are slippery areas, I recommend wearing sneakers or other athletic shoes.
梅雨入りした沖縄。雨が心配でしたが、雨に濡れた山々が美しく、植物が生き生きして見えました。滑りやすい所もあるので、スニーカーなどの運動靴がおすすめです。
I was very satisfied with the sightseeing experience I had in a limited amount of time. I don't think I could have had this experience on my own in such a short time. Also, the lunch was very delicious and excellent. The tour guide was very efficient and did a great job.
I would love to go again.
限られた時間で、最大限の観光をさせていただき、大満足でした。
個人では、この時間でこの体験はできないと思います。
また、昼食も大変美味しく最高でした。
ツアコンの方も、てきぱきと行動され大変良くしていただきました。
もう一度行ってみたいです。
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。
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。
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 joined because I wanted to go to Daishi Forest Mountain. I was hesitant about traveling to Okinawa since I can't drive, but thanks to this tour, I was able to enjoy both the mountains and the sea in one day! The scenic spots are not just ordinary views, so I definitely recommend getting off the bus and listening to the guide's explanations. The lunch and little gifts were also very delicious.
I think this tour can be enjoyed by a wide range of participants, from preschool children to seniors, making it suitable for all age groups.
大石林山に行きたくて参加しました。運転ができないので沖縄旅行には消極的でしたが、このツアーのおかげで1日で沖縄の山も海も満喫できました!絶景スポットはただの景色ではないので、ぜひ降車して添乗員さんの説明を聞いていただきたいです。昼食もちょっぴりプレゼントもとてもおいしかったです。
参加者は就学前のお子さんからシニアまで幅広く、年齢層を選ばず楽しめるツアーだと思います。
Since it was after spring break, there were only four participants in the tour, and the compact seafood lunch was very filling. The small souvenirs were also great. The weather at Cape Henoko, the northernmost point, was excellent, and the scenery was stunning. At each destination, there were few people since it was before the holiday, allowing us to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace. Thank you to the guide (I forgot the name) for the many explanations.
春休み後なのでツアー参加者も4名とコンパクト海鮮ランチもボリュウム満点、小さなお土産も最高でした。
最北の辺戸岬も天気最高、景色も最高でした。
行く先々も連休前なので人も少なくてゆっくりと楽しめました。
ツアーを案内していただいた(名前忘れました)方、たくさんの説明ありがとうございました。
The charm of this tour is that you can truly feel the nature and beginnings of Okinawa at the Oishi Forest. It allows you to escape from daily life and find peace of mind. Kuta-kun, the Okinawa rail we saw in the reserve, was really cute. I want to go again.
このツアーの魅力は、大石林山で、沖縄の自然と始まりを肌で感じらる事です。日常から解放され、心の安らぎを得られます。保護区で見られたヤンバルクイナのクータくん、ほんとに可愛かったです。また行きたいです。
There were several similar tours, but I chose this one because it had a longer duration among the half-day courses, offered good value for money, and could be booked privately for our group of seven (two families). In the end, I was very satisfied.
The kayaking lasted for 40 minutes each way, which was a nice length. We were able to enjoy a relaxing time while looking at the mangroves and listening to the sound of the paddles in the water. During the trekking, our guide was attentive, especially with my children, who are in first and third grade. He provided explanations about the unusual trees and answered all our questions, which was very educational. Although it was still a bit chilly at the end of March, we all had fun swimming in the waterfall pool (I was surprised that the guide joined us in the cold water!). The lunch included two large rice balls (with plum and kelp), fried chicken, boiled eggs, and pickles, which were delicious while we enjoyed the view of the waterfall (even though we got splashed and it was cold).
As for the restroom situation, it seems similar to other companies' tours, but our guide provided portable toilets that we had to take back with us. On the way back, we trekked and kayaked the same route we came. Normally, children kayak with adults, but based on my first-grade son’s skills (he has kayaking experience), he was allowed to kayak alone, and I felt proud watching him paddle quietly and enjoy himself. I hope to encourage him to say that kayaking is his strong suit in the future! We received photos and videos after the tour, making it a very satisfying experience.
By the way, the items provided for the tour included shoes and a waterproof backpack. It’s advisable to bring a raincoat and a bath towel if you plan to swim.
同様のツアーがいくつかありましたが、半日コースの中でも時間が長めでコスパも良く、7名(2家族)だと貸切になるとのことでしたのでこちらに決めました。結果、大満足です。
カヤックは40分✖️往復と長めなので、ゆったりとした流れの中、マングローブを眺め、オールで漕ぐ水の音を聞きながら、癒しの時間を過ごすことができました。トレッキングも、小1と小3の子どもたちを先頭にガイドさんがしっかりと見てくださり、珍しい木などの説明や、その他の質問にもしっかりと答えてくださり勉強になりました。3月末でまだ肌寒かったのですが、みんなで滝壺で泳いだことも楽しかったです。(ガイドさんも寒い中一緒に入ってくださり、驚きました!)お弁当の内容は、特大おにぎり2つ(梅と昆布)、唐揚げ、茹で卵、お漬物で、滝を見ながら(しぶきを浴びながらで寒かったですが)美味しかったです。トイレは、他社のピナイサーラツアーでも同様のようですが、携帯用トイレをガイドさんから頂き、持ち帰るという形でした。帰路は、再度トレッキングとカヤックで元来た道を戻ります。カヤックは、通常子どもは大人と一緒に乗りますが、往路の小1の息子(カヤック経験者)の技術を見て、特別に1人で乗せて頂き、黙々と漕いで楽しんでいる姿に成長を感じました。今後、得意なことはカヤックですと言わせたいと思いますw終了後に写真や動画も頂き、大満足のツアーでした。
ちなみに、ツアーで貸していただけるものは、シューズと防水リュックです。レインコートや(泳ぐのであれば)バスタオルを持参した方が良いです。
This was my first experience kayaking, and even though the weather wasn't perfect, it was just the right temperature to enjoy it. The scenery was beautiful, surrounded by nature, and I was satisfied to see the waterfall with a good flow of water. The guide's explanations and stories were very easy to understand and great.
ちゃんもカヤックの体験をするのは初めてで、天気は最高とまでは行かなくても、ちょうど良い気温の中で楽しめて、景色も大自然の中、滝もいい水量で見る事が出来て満足です。
ガイドさんの説明やお話もすごく分かりやすくて良かったです。
