All Reviews for Okinawa Hiking and Trekking

I apologize for the delay caused by my junior this morning. As a result, we departed 10 minutes late, but thank you for waiting.

Now, regarding the tour itself, it was great that we were able to visit various places, but the tour guide was a foreigner. While they could speak Japanese, it was very difficult to understand them. Towards the end, their voice became so quiet that I couldn't hear the explanations. When they said, "Please ask if you have any questions," it was hard to do so under those circumstances.

We started from in front of the prefectural office, but there were many buses lined up, making it hard to find the right one. Other tour guides were calling out loudly, while ours just stood outside holding a customer list. That made it really confusing. Since I’m not very experienced with tours and this was only my second time, I didn’t know what to do. This was evident as other customers, who were also there more than 10 minutes early, ended up arriving at the bus just in time and expressed their confusion.

Additionally, I went with my junior this time, and while I understand the need for social distancing due to COVID, everyone could have easily maintained distance by sitting by the windows. However, we were made to sit together as a couple, and when I asked if we could move to the window seats, I was told to wait. Ultimately, we were able to sit by the window only in the afternoon. If they were going to allow it, they could have done so in the morning as well. Moreover, there was someone sitting alone who wanted to see the scenery and preferred to sit by the window, which was prioritized instead. Doesn’t that seem strange?

Please ensure proper training for the tour guides. If it had been a Japanese guide, I think we could have enjoyed it a bit more.

朝イチ後輩が遅れてすみませんでした。それで10分出発が遅れたのですが待っていただきありがとうございました。
早速ツアー内容なんですが、内容的には色々なところをまわれたのはよかったのですが、添乗員が外人さんで、日本語も大丈夫なのですが、非常に聞き取り辛かったです。説明も、自身がないのか終わりの方は声が小さく聞こえなかったです。
分からないことが有れば聞いてくださいって、これでは聞けないですよ。
出発の場所は県庁前からだったのですが、何台も並んでいたのでわかりにくかったです。他のツアーの添乗員さんは大きな声で呼んでいるのに、今回の添乗員は外に出て、顧客リストを持っているだけ。これではわかりませんよね。旅行慣れしていなく今回が2回目だったので、わかりませんでした。それを物語るのが、他のお客さんも、10分以上前に県庁前にいたのにギリギリにバスに着いてわからなかったって言ってバスに乗ってました。
あと、今回後輩と乗ったのですが、コロナで席を空けてるのはわかるのですが、全員窓際に座っても十分距離は保てるのに、私たちとカップルだけ2人で座らされ、窓際に移っていいですか？って聞いたら待ってください。って言われて結局窓際に座れたのが昼過ぎ。結局オッケーするなら午前中でも、よかったのではないでしょうか？それも、1人で座ってる人が景色ぐ見たいから逆に座りたいって言って、そっちを優先。おかしくないでしょうか？
添乗員教育ちゃんとしてください。日本人の添乗員だったらもう少し楽しめたかな。

To get to the northern Yanbaru area, it's difficult without a rental car, so I signed up for the only bus tour that goes to Daishirinzan. The bus had proper infection control measures in place, including seat arrangements.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour. I was looking forward to the views from the observation decks at Cape Hedo and Daishirinzan, but sadly, I could barely see anything. The weather forecast predicted clear skies for the afternoon, so I wished we could have reversed the order of the tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium later. (Since it's a group tour, I understand that the schedule for each location is fixed and changes are probably not possible.)

We had 80 minutes at Daishirinzan. I wanted to see the "Observation Deck" and "Gajumaru," so I walked the shortcut course "Kigan & Churaumi" plus the "Yanbaru Forest Course." I just barely made it back in time within the 80 minutes. I wished I had a bit more time.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, we had 180 minutes. Perhaps because it was the second day of a three-day weekend in September when people started to move around (they were allowing entry with restrictions for infection control), there was a huge line, and it took 20 minutes to get in after we started waiting. The tour guide mentioned that it was the longest line they had ever seen. However, even with the 20-minute wait, we had plenty of time with the 180-minute stay. I skipped the really crowded tanks, looked at the beach and sea turtles, and then returned to the aquarium to explore.

It seems that the tour content has changed now. It looks like it offers a better experience to fully enjoy Yanbaru.

北部やんばるエリアに行くにはレンタカー以外では難しくて、この大石林山に行くことができる唯一のバスツアーに申し込みました。
バス内では席位置等感染対策がしっかりととられていました。
当日はあいにくの雨。「辺戸岬」と「大石林山」の展望台からの景色を楽しみにしていたのですが残念ながらほぼ何も見えませんでした。午後からの天気予報は晴れだったので午後からの「美ら海水族館」と回る順番を逆にすることができたら良かったのになあって思いました。（ツアー団体だから各場所に行く予定時間は決まっていて変更は無理なんだろうとは思います）
「大石林山」の滞在時間は80分。「展望台」と「ガジュマル」は見たかったので「奇岩・美ら海」のショートカットコース+「やんばる森林コース」を歩きました。なんとかギリギリ80分でもどれました。もう少し時間が欲しかった。
「美ら海水族館」は滞在180分。人が動き出した9月の3連休の二日目のためか（感染対策のために入場制限をしながら入場させていた）入場はすごい列ができていて、並んでから入るまで20分かかりました。添乗員さんはこんなに行列ができているのは初めてだと言われていました。ただ20分並んでも180分滞在時間があったので時間は十分でした。すごく混んでいる水槽は飛ばし、ビーチやウミガメを見てからまた水族館にもどり入って見ました。

今はツアー内容が変更になっているようですね。やんばるをより満喫できる内容のようなので良さそうですね。

In the mangrove forest, we had an explanation from the guide and were able to explore while looking for creatures like coconut crabs. For lunch, we had sashimi with three pieces of white fish fry, which was very filling and delicious. Cape Hedo had an impressive deep blue color; although the wind was strong, the view was wonderful. At Daishi Forest, I was able to walk more easily than I expected and fully enjoy nature. I also thought that infection control measures were well implemented, such as hand sanitizer when getting on and off the bus and seating arrangements that maintained social distance. I'm glad I went.

マングローブ林ではガイドさんの説明があり、ヤシガニ等生き物を探しならがら見学できました。ランチは刺身に白身フライが3枚もつきボリューム満点で美味しかったです。辺戸岬は濃いブルーが印象的、風は強かったけど素晴らしい景色でした。大石林山は思ったより楽に歩くことができ、自然を満喫できました。バス乗り降りの際は手指アルコール消毒、ソーシャルディスタンスを保った座席配置など感染症対策もしっかりされていたと思います。行って良かったです。

It was a highly satisfying tour. I was amazed by the mysterious vitality of the mangroves, overwhelmed by the grandeur and power of the Okinawa's Great Stone Forest, and comforted by the cuteness of the Okinawa rail. I grew even fonder of Okinawa. The tour guide and local guides were friendly and very thorough in explaining the local circumstances, which was very educational. The local specialties I tasted here and there were truly delicious. This is a tour I especially recommend for those who feel they have already visited the major tourist spots in Okinawa.

非常に満足感の高いツアーでした。
マングローブの不思議な生命力に驚き、
大石林山の威容・迫力に圧倒され、
ヤンバルクイナの可愛らしさに癒され、
さらに沖縄が好きになりました。
添乗員さんや各地のガイドさんには、
フレンドリーかつ懇切丁寧に現地の事情を
説明していただき、とても勉強になりました。
各地でちょっとずつ食べた名産品も、
まことに美味でありました。
沖縄のメジャーな観光地は一通り行ったなあ、
という方に、特にお勧めしたいツアーです。

The content was abundant and fulfilling. I was glad to encounter sea turtles. When I come to Iriomote Island again, I would like to participate in another tour.

内容が盛りだくさんで、充実していました。海亀にも出会えて良かったです。また西表島に来たときは別のツアーに参加したいと思います。

It's a place I wouldn't think of going just to drive there alone, but I participated in my first bus tour and went there. I climbed the mountain while listening to the guide talk about Daishi Forest Mountain, and the Shikuwasa juice after exercising was the best! After that, at the Churaumi Aquarium, there weren't many people, but the dolphin show I saw for the first time was so cute. What impressed me the most was that we arrived at the Kencho Square exactly at 8 o'clock. It was right on schedule. I thought it was normal for a bus to be late, but everything went according to plan, and I was moved by it all. I'm glad I went.

ひとりで車運転してまで絶対行こうと思わない場所ですが、人生初のバスツアーに参加し行ってきました。添乗員さんから大石林山の話を聞きながら山登りし、運動した後のシークワサージュース最っ高でした。その後の美ら海水族館、人はまばらだったけど、初めて見たイルカショーとってもかわいかったです。最後にすごいと思ったのが、最終の県庁広場に8時ちょうどに着いたことです。予定時刻と全く一緒でした。バスだから予定時刻過ぎるのが普通かと思っていたのが予定通りだったから、全てに感動しました。
行ってよかったです。

I wish the time could be extended a bit longer. Also, since Oishi Forest is a sacred place, I wanted to walk quietly and reflect by myself, but this time, tourists participated for the first time, and for some reason, it turned into a lively chat, which was a bit troubling. It might be fine for some people, but I honestly felt disappointed because I took time off work just to participate and wanted to reflect alone. Additionally, the course was decided without my input... Previously, I had been looking towards the Gajumaru area, so in the end, we had to rush through, and I wanted to explore at my own pace from the beginning.

もう少し時間を長くして欲しいです。
また、大石林山は拝所なので、一人で静に内観しながら歩きたかったのですが、
今回初めてツーリストさんも参加されて、なぜかお喋り和気あいあいになり困りました。それがいい人はいいかもしれませんが、
私は一人で内観したかったので、正直、仕事を休んでやっと参加したのに残念でした。
また、勝手にコースも決められて、、、
前回までガジュマルの方までみてたので、、、
最後は駆け足でみるかたちになり、自分のペースで最初から周りたかったです。

The tour was conducted with a small group, and everyone participated individually! I usually feel uncomfortable, so it was a relief mentally, haha. At Oishi Bunsan, we went trekking while chatting together. At Churaumi Aquarium, some programs were temporarily closed, but it was less crowded, and we had a longer stay, so we could take our time and enjoy it thoroughly.

少人数で催行してもらえた上、全員ひとり参加！
いつも居心地悪いしてたので、気分的にも楽でしたww
大石林山では、みんなで雑談しながらのトレッキングでした。
美ら海水族館は一部休止のプログラムもありましたが、空いてた上、滞在時間も長めだったので、のんびり•じっくりできました。

First, we snorkeled in the highly transparent coral sea. The guide found a sea turtle, and we were super excited! We encountered sea turtles a few more times after that. I even got to meet Nemo for the first time in my life!!

When we changed spots, we were able to see various corals and tropical fish! I was very satisfied to see table corals while snorkeling♪

After lunch, we went canoeing and trekking. It was both my husband and my first time canoeing, so we were a bit anxious, but the guide explained everything clearly, and we had a lot of fun paddling! The trekking was quite hard, but it was interesting as we took breaks and learned about the trees and creatures of Iriomote Island!

After the tough trekking, cooling down in the waterfall was the best reward! On the day of the tour, I was worried that the return boat might be canceled due to the typhoon, but the guide regularly checked the operation status, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you so much (о´∀`о)

I had decided to only choose one tour for this trip, so I was really worried about which one to pick. However, I was happy that the owner and the guide considered the participants by choosing swimming spots based on the waves and adjusting the trekking according to our fatigue levels. I feel it was a great company that truly cares about its participants! Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!

While looking at the photos you sent, my husband and I often talk about the fun day we had (*´꒳`*) When we go to Ishigaki Island or Iriomote Island again, we will be in your care, so please take care of us then! Thank you for a wonderful day♪

最初に透明度の高い珊瑚の海をシュノーケル。ガイドのお兄さんが海ガメを見つけてくれて大興奮！そのあとにも何回か海ガメと遭遇。人生初のニモにも会えました！！
スポットを変えると、色々な珊瑚と熱帯魚を見ることができました！テーブル珊瑚も見れて大満足なシュノーケル♪
お昼ご飯を食べた後は、カヌーとトレッキング。
カヌーは旦那も私もはじめてだったので不安がありましたが、ガイドのお兄さんが分かりやすく教えてくれて楽しく漕げました♪トレッキングはかなりハードでしたが、所々で休憩しながら西表島の木々や生き物の事を教えてくれて面白かったです！つらいトレッキングの後にはご褒美の滝壺でクールダウン最高でした！！
ツアー当日は台風の影響で帰りの船が欠航になるか不安でしたが、ガイドさんがマメに運行状況をチェックしてくれて、安心してツアーを楽しめました。ありがとうございます(о´∀`о)
今回の旅行ではツアーは一つだけと決めてたので、ツアー選択は凄く悩んで決めたのですが、オーナーさんとガイドさんとで波を見ながら泳ぐポイントを決めてくれたり、疲れ具合を見てトレッキングしてくれたりと、凄く参加者の事を考えてくれる会社さんだと思い嬉しかったです♪このツアーに決めて大正解です！
送って頂いた写真を見ながら、旦那と楽しかった一日をよく話します(*´꒳`*)
また石垣島や西表島に行く時にはお世話になりますので、そこ際は宜しくお願いします！
素敵な一日を、ありがとうございました♪

The tour from Naha to the northern part of Okinawa Island was the only one available, and I wanted to know what the northern part was like, so I signed up. It turned out to be a great decision to participate; places like Cape Hedo and the Okinawa Grand Canyon were very interesting, and I thought I would like to come back again. Additionally, it was nice to be able to take my time at the not-so-crowded Churaumi Aquarium.

On another note, as many people have mentioned, it was disappointing that the time spent in the northern area was short. This was due to the initial time allocation as well as the fact that our guide was someone who enforced group behavior, which made the free time in the north very limited.

Overall, I was very glad to have the experience of going from Naha to the northern part of the island. I think you can see a different side of Okinawa, so I recommend it.

　那覇から沖縄本島北部へと行くツアーはこのツアーしかなく、本島北部はどんな感じかを知りたくて、申し込みました。結果は参加して大正解で、辺戸岬や大石林山など、非常に面白かったですし、また来たいとも思いました。加えて、あまり混雑していない美ら海水族館もゆっくり見れて良かったです。
　その他、思ったこととして、多くの人が書いているように、北部の滞在時間が短かかったことは残念でした。当初の時間配分もそうですし、今回のガイドさんが団体行動を強いる人だったため、北部での滞在時間（自由行動）が短かったのが非常に残念でした。
　ともかくも、那覇から本島北部に行くという体験できて、非常に良かったです。沖縄の違った一面が見れると思いますので、オススメします。

I was completely satisfied with the sense of achievement from activities like canoeing, trekking, waterfall play, and exploring limestone caves! It was my first experience canoeing, but thanks to the thorough instruction, I was able to progress slowly while enjoying the view of the mangroves.

We received a lot of information about plants and creatures as we headed towards the waterfall, and the refreshing feeling when I dove into the waterfall was unforgettable!

Exploring the limestone cave was an incredible adventure, and I truly felt the greatness of nature that took thousands of years to form! I'm glad I participated and was able to experience the natural beauty of Iriomote Island.

カヌーやトレッキング、滝遊び、鍾乳洞の洞窟探検などなど達成感満載で大満足です！
カヌー初体験でしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしてもらえたおかげでマングローブなどを眺めながらゆっくり進むことができました。
植物や生物などもたくさんレクチャーしてもらいながら滝を目指し、滝にダイブした時のひんやりさはたまりませんでした！

鍾乳洞は探検感すごく、何万年もかけて出来上がった自然の偉大さを感じました！
西表島の自然を体感できて、参加してよかったです。

The trekking course at Oishi Forest Mountain was not too hard, allowing us to enjoy the feeling of being in nature as we walked. The weather was great, and listening to our guide's thorough explanations made for a perfect day.

During our lunch break, we visited "Yuiyui Kunigami," which had many local products on display, and the soba was delicious.

The Churaumi Aquarium had some areas closed due to the season, but since it was my first visit, I still enjoyed it.

This time, there were only a few participants, so our guide was able to flexibly adjust the schedule, for which I am truly grateful. Thank you for a wonderful day.

大石林山のトレッキングコースはハード過ぎず、自然の中にいる感覚を味わいながら歩くことができました。
天気も良く、ガイドさんの丁寧なご説明を聞きながら最高の1日でした。

昼休憩で訪れた「ゆいゆい国頭」は土地ならではの商品が沢山並んでいて、ソバも美味しかったです。

美ら海水族館は、時期的に閉館になっている所もありましたが、初めて訪れたので楽しめました。

今回は参加者が少人数だったため、ガイドさんが臨機応変にタイムスケジュールを変更して下さったりと、本当に感謝です。
素敵な一日を有難うございました。

Thanks to scheduling a bit earlier, we were able to avoid the crowds! The canoeing was intense on the sun exposure... The mountain climbing afterward required some stamina, but it wasn't overwhelmingly tiring! The waterfall was amazing, and they even took pictures of us jumping in♪ The handmade rice balls we received afterward were delicious!!!! I devoured them!!

Since we had some time before the afternoon snorkeling, we were able to go to a nearby shop to buy ice cream♪ Balas Island is incredibly small, but it's so beautiful! The snorkeling took us to a spot with stunning coral!! There were plenty of fish, and we even saw a sea turtle♪ They took lots of underwater photos too! Since the boat didn't have a roof, sun protection is a must^^;

少し時間を早めてスケジューリングしてくれたおかげで、混雑を避けれました！
カヌーは日焼け強烈です、、、その後の山登りはそれなりに体力いりましたが、めちゃくちゃ疲れるってほどでもないです！
滝は最高だし、飛び込む写真も撮ってくれます♪
その後頂いた手作りのおにぎりが美味しい！！！！ペロリと食べました！！

午後のシュノーケルまで時間があったので、近くの商店でアイスとか買いに行けました♪
バラス島はめちゃくちゃ小さいけど、キレイすぎます！
シュノーケルは最高にサンゴがキレイなところに行けました！！
魚もたくさんいるし、ウミガメも見れました♪
水中写真もたくさん撮ってくれます！
船に屋根がなかったので、日焼け対策は必須です^^;

It's difficult to get around without a car. I participated with the aim of visiting Cape Hedo and Daichi Shurin. Both places have stunning views, but it's a shame that the time spent there was short. On the way back, if you get caught in traffic, it can take quite a while to return to Naha. If you participate on your last day in Okinawa, you might miss your flight.

車が無いと行き辛い、辺戸岬、大石林山を目当てに参加しました。
両方とも景色が素晴らしいのに、所要時間が短いのが残念でした。
帰りは渋滞にはまると、那覇への帰りが相当遅くなることもあるみたいです。
沖縄最終日に参加する場合は、飛行機に間に合わなくなってしまうかも？

I went diving, and it was completely different; it felt like I was inside an aquarium, which was amazing. I also saw sea turtles, and canoeing was fun too! The journey to the waterfall was great as well!

潜りましたが全く違って本当に
水族館のなかにいてるようで最高でした、
ウミガメもみれました、
カヌーも楽しかったっし
滝までの道のりもいい！

This is definitely a tour I would highly recommend. During snorkeling, I was amazed to see turtles, clownfish, and table corals (the turtles swam quite close to us, not wary of people at all, and were munching on seaweed, which was surprising). My sister, who is in Miyako Island, said that turtles are usually seen from a distance and don’t come that close, quickly swimming away. It might be because the people of Iriomote Island have a close and respectful relationship with the turtles and nature.

Also, my child found the canoeing to be really fun and kept talking about it after we got back. The rice balls we had for lunch in front of the waterfall were incredibly delicious. The wild boar we saw on the way back was also very cute. The wild boar was not at all scared and was munching on things that had fallen on the road, which was surprising. Everyone who participated in the tour with us was wonderful, and the staff from Monsoon were also great, making it a lovely memory.

ぜひオススメしたいツアーです。
シュノーケリングでは、亀やクマノミ、テーブルサンゴを見られて感動しました（亀はかなり近くで泳いでくれていて、人に警戒する事もなく、むしゃむしゃと海藻を食べていてびっくり）宮古島にいる妹が、亀は普通遠くで見つけても、そこまで近くにはこないし、すぐ遠ざかっていくものだと言ってました。
西表島の方々が、亀や自然と、大切に付き合っているからなのかもしれませんね。
また、子供はカヌーがすごく面白かったようで、帰ってからもその話ばかりしていました。
滝の前で食べるおにぎりのお弁当が、すごく美味しかったです。
帰りに見かけたうりぼうも、すごく可愛かったです。
うりぼうも、全然逃げずに道に落ちているものを、ムシャムシャ食べていてびっくり。
一緒にツアーに参加してくださっていた方も、皆さん素敵な方ばかりで、モンスーンの方も皆さん素敵な方で、良い思い出になりました。

Okinawa, which is said to be a power spot for the entire island, is a place I have visited many times, but it was my first time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Walking the full trekking course takes about an hour and a half, but I recommend doing the entire route. The course features various powerful strange rocks and sacred banyan trees. I was healed by the mysterious power and abundant negative ions.

Unfortunately, the main aquarium was almost closed due to COVID-19 measures, but thanks to that, inbound tourism from the main island of Okinawa had decreased, allowing for a relaxed visit everywhere.

島全体がパワースポットといわれている沖縄、何度も訪問していますが、大石林山は初めてでした。トレッキングコースをフルで歩くと、１時間半くらいかかりますが、全部行くことをオススメします。コースにはパワーのある様々な奇岩や御願ガジュマルがあります。不思議なパワーとたっぷりのマイナスイオンに癒されました。
その後に寄った美ら海水族館は、残念ながら新型コロナウィルス対策のため、メインの水族館以外はほぼ閉館。
ただ、そのおかげで沖縄本島全体からインバウンドが去り、どこも空いていてゆったり周れました。

Canoeing was absolutely wonderful! I was moved by the amazing experience of crossing a real river.

The trekking offered views I had never experienced before. When I reached the waterfall, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.

In the limestone cave, I was first struck by the entrance. It was a surprising and mystical experience.

Throughout the entire process, the guide was very knowledgeable and answered many of my questions. Their clear explanations made the tour much more enjoyable. It is a physically demanding tour, but I highly recommend it!

カヌーが最高に気持ち良かったです！本物の川を渡るという素晴らしい経験に感動しました

トレッキングでは今までに体験した事のない景色が見られます　滝にたどり着いた時には達成感がいっぱいでした

鍾乳洞ではまず入り口に衝撃を受けました　驚きと神秘に満ちた体験でした

全ての工程においてガイドさんの知識が豊富で質問にたくさん答えてくださいました　わかりやすい説明でツアーが何倍も楽しめたように思います　体力が必要なツアーではありますが本当におすすめです！！

I usually travel around by rental car, but since this was a solo trip, I decided to try a bus tour. From Naha City, it takes about three hours by car. After that, visiting the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and the Daisekirinzan, I was a bit concerned about my stamina, but to conclude, I think choosing the bus tour was the right decision!

On the way there, we enjoyed sightseeing through the bus windows with the guidance of the tour conductor and audio guide, so we arrived in no time. Although I’m not very confident in my physical stamina, I was able to comfortably complete the entire course, perhaps pushed by the energy of Daisekirinzan.

I often visit aquariums, so I intentionally skipped the inside and walked around outside, which resulted in me walking 15,545 steps that day. I did end up with some muscle soreness, but I have no regrets! Regarding Daisekirinzan, taking photos can take quite a bit of time, so I wish we had a little more time to spare. Considering the lunch schedule, I think it was a bit tight.

The Churaumi Aquarium also has attractions outside, so when you go, definitely bring sunglasses and sunscreen! The reflection from below can burn both your eyes and skin! On the way back, I was exhausted and worn out, so the bus tour was indeed the right choice.

普段はレンタカーであちこち回るのですが、今回は一人旅でしたので、バスツアーに挑戦してみました。
那覇市内からだと、車で3時間。その後に、大石林山を回り、美ら海水族館を回るとなると、体力的に不安があったので、結論から言えば、バスツアー正解だと思います！
行きは、添乗員さんや音声ガイドの案内で、車窓観光を楽しみながらでしたので、あっという間に到着。
体力に自信はありませんが、大石林山のパワーに押されて？、全コースも余裕で回ることができました。
水族館は個人的に良く行ってるので館内は敢えてスルーして、外を歩き回ってたためか、この日1日で、15,545歩歩いてました。
さすがに、筋肉痛にはなりましたが、後悔はしてません！
大石林山に関しては、写真撮ったりとかしてると時間を結構取られるので、もう少し時間に余裕があるといいなとは思いました。お昼の時間のこともあるので、スケジュールとしてはギリギリだとは思いますが。
美ら海水族館は、外にも見どころがありますから、行くときは是非、サングラスと日焼け止め必須で！！下からの照り返しで、目も肌も焼けます！
帰りは、さすがに疲れてぐったりだったので、やはりバスツアー正解でしたね。

I wanted to take on the challenge of Oishi Shinsan again, so I participated in this tour once more. I wanted to stay a little longer, and this time I was able to stay for about 30 minutes longer, which was great. However, in the end, I had to rush, so I believe that a stay of at least 2 hours is necessary for this place. In future tours, I definitely want the stay at Oishi Shinsan to be at least 2 hours!

大石林山に再チャレンジしたくて、再度このツアーに参加しました。少しでも長く滞在したかったので、今回は30分くらい長く滞在できてとてもよかったです。それでも最後は駆け足になったので、やはり2時間は滞在時間が必要な場所だと思います
今後のツアーではぜひ大石林山滞在時間を2時間は欲しいと思います！！

This time, I had a three-hour stay at Oishi Rinsan, which I was really looking forward to visiting the most! However, when the same group was having a photo session for over 10 minutes, it was quite troublesome for those of us waiting behind them. It was also disappointing that a group of 6 or 7 men was making a lot of noise while walking around, as I wanted to enjoy the tranquility. I couldn't help but wonder what they were there for.

Once again, this is a power spot and a place of worship. Let's be considerate of those around us and follow proper etiquette! The spirits are watching!

今回、大石林山が３時間の滞在時間となり、1番訪れたかったのでとても楽しみにしていました！
ただ同じ場所で10分以上も撮影大会されると、後ろで待っている人たちもいるので、とても困りました。他にも6〜7人の男性グループがずっと大声を出して騒ぎながらまわっていたのも静寂な中で回りたかっただけにとても残念でした！何しにきたのかなと思うくらいです。
今一度、パワースポットだろうとここは拝所です。周りへの思いやりを持ってマナーは守りましょう！！精霊たちがみてますよ！

I have been to Okinawa Island several times, but I had never been to the northernmost point. Since I was alone, I thought it would be easier to use this bus tour rather than renting a car, and that turned out to be the right choice. However, everyone who participated in the tour mentioned that the last stop at the aquarium was unnecessary. Those who join this tour usually have no other options to visit the northernmost point and have been to Okinawa multiple times, so they have already visited the aquarium several times. Instead, I would have preferred to spend more time at Daichi Forest.

　何度か沖縄本島は行っているのですが、最北端はまだ一度も行っていないですし、１人でしたので、レンタカーを借りるよりは、こちらのバスツアーで行く方が楽と思い、利用しました。それ自体は、正解でしたが、参加されたみなさんが、みんな言っていたのは、最後の水族館はいらないという意見でした。このツアーに参加される方は、最北端へ行くツアーが他になく、沖縄には何度も行っている方なので、水族館はもう何度も行っているので、それなら、水族館は行かずに、大石林山の滞在時間をもっと増やしてほしかったです。

The tour guide was very polite, and even though I participated alone, I was able to enjoy myself without any worries. The destination was just the right plan! I thought I would like to participate again. ^ ^

添乗員さんはとても丁寧で1人で参加しましたが、不安なところもなく楽しむことが出来ました。行き先もちょうどいいプランでした！
また参加したいなと思いました〜^ ^

I have visited Okinawa many times, but I had never had the opportunity to go to the northernmost part until I found and signed up for this tour to Okiyama. Okiyama provided a lot of energy as I expected, but I was dissatisfied with the short amount of time we had there, which didn't allow me to fully enjoy it.

I also wonder if it is necessary to combine Churaumi Aquarium and Okiyama in the same course. I would have liked the tour organizer to change the course to focus on power spots and double the time spent at Okiyama.

何度も沖縄を訪れていますが、最北まで行く機会がなかったのですが、大石林山に行くこのツアーを見つけ申し込みました。大石林山は期待どおりに沢山のパワーを頂くことができましたが、あまりにも滞在時間が短くてゆっくり堪能する事が出来なかったのが不満でした。
そもそも美ら海水族館と大石林山が同じコースにする必要があるのか疑問です。ツアー主催者にパワースポットを集めたコースに変更して、大石林山の滞在時間を倍にしていただければと思いました。

This was my second time participating. My main purpose was Oishi Forest, but when I participated two or three years ago, the meeting place after the walk was at the upper entrance. After the Gajumaru course, I was waiting for the bus alone at the lower parking lot. The staff at the parking lot contacted the bus, so there were no troubles, but... This time, the walking time was longer than last time, and meeting at the lower parking lot made a lot of sense. There was also a juice service, which was nice. While many might be there for the aquarium, I think it would be good to have a bit more time at Oishi Forest, even if it means cutting back on the aquarium a little.

2度目の参加でした。
大石林山が主な目的でしたが、2、3年前に参加した時は、散策後の集合場所が上の入り口でしたので、ガジュマルコースの後、私だけ下の駐車場で、バスを待っていました。
駐車場の係の方が、バスに連絡してくれたので、何もトラブルはありませんでしたが………
今回は、散策時間も前回より長く、下の駐車場集合と、とても理にかなっていましたし、ジュースのサービスもあり、良かったです。
水族館が目的の方も多いのかもしれませんが、水族館を多少削って、もう少し大石林山の時間があってもいいと思いました。

I wasn't confident in driving... but I wanted to go to the northern part! So I signed up for this tour. As a result, I truly feel that choosing this tour was a great decision, and I made wonderful memories.

I participated alone, but while listening to Okinawan music and the guide's announcements on the bus, we headed to our destination. Once there, I was able to explore freely within the designated time and interact with other participants at a comfortable distance.

The time allocation at each sightseeing spot and the travel time felt just right. I am grateful to the driver who safely took us around and to the guide who entertained us with a lovely smile and thoughtful attention.

I would like to use this service again when I come back to Okinawa. Thank you very much.

運転に自信がない…でも北部に行きたい！と思い こちらを申し込みました。
結果、このツアーを選んで良かったと心から思える素敵な思い出が出来ました。
ひとり参加でしたが、車内では沖縄の音楽やガイドアナウンスを聴きながら目的地まで向かい、現地では決められた時間内で自由に散策をし、程よい距離感で他の参加者の方達とも関わりが持てました。
各観光地の時間配分、乗車時間等のプランもちょうど良く感じました。
安全運転で各地を巡ってくれた運転手さん、素敵な笑顔と丁寧な気配りで楽しませてくださったガイドさんに感謝しています。
また沖縄に来る際には利用させて頂きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The staff were incredibly kind and nice. The shuttle service made it easy to participate. The activity was a great nature exploration and very enjoyable. I thought it might be quite strenuous, but once I participated, the level of exercise was manageable and enjoyable. It was so good that I would like to try a different activity next time I visit.

スタッフさんが何より親切で良い人でした。送迎もあり参加もしやすかったです。
アクティビティは、大自然探索でとても楽しかったです♬結構しんどいのかな？と思いましたが、参加してみると楽しめる余裕がある運動量でした。
とても、良かったので次行ったときは別のアクティビティでお世話になりたいと思います。

I saw Oishi Forest Mountain on TV, so it was a great help for me since I don't have a driver's license! If I had to say anything, I wish I could have stayed at Oishi Forest Mountain a little longer! I rushed to see the yellow course and the banyan tree, but it was just in time.

I was also satisfied with the Churaumi Aquarium, as I felt like I didn't have enough time! Since it's this time of year, I was a bit intimidated by the presence of Chinese tourists... but everyone is looking forward to it, right?

When I talked to my local friends, they said that this price for the content is incredibly cheap! I think so too. Thank you to the driver and the guide for the long time spent together! 😊

テレビで大石林山をしていたので免許がない私はとても助かりました！
しいて言うなら大石林山にもう少し長く居たいくらいです！私は黄色コース＋ガジュマルだけ見たくてダッシュしましたが、ギリギリでした。
ちゅら海水族館も私は時間が足りないくらいだったので満足です！
あとはこの時期なので中国人の方が居て怯んでしまいましたが。。みなさん楽しみにされていますもんね。
現地のお友達に話すとこの価格はこの内容ですごい安い！とのことでした。私もそう思います。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、長い時間ありがとうございました(^^)

I participated in the tour because driving to the northern part on my own seemed challenging, but the time spent at each sightseeing spot was just right for me, allowing for a leisurely exploration.

Cape Hedo was breathtaking. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I was a bit disappointed to have arrived late and only saw the dolphin show from outside the venue, but everything else was satisfying. In the end, I enjoyed the sunset from the car window.

I prefer a tour like this, which focuses on specific destinations, rather than moving between many sightseeing spots in a short amount of time.

自力で北部まで運転して行くのは大変そうだったので参加しましたが、各観光場所での滞在時間が私にはちょうどよく、ゆっくり観光することができて良かったです。
辺戸岬は絶景の一言。大石林山は一番長いコースをじっくり見て回ることができ、美ら海水族館は、到着が送れてイルカショーの会場の外から見たのがちょっと残念でしたが、それ以外は満足でした。最後は車窓から見る日没まで楽しみました。
短い滞在時間でたくさんの観光場所を移動するより、こういう行き先を絞った余裕のあるツアーがいいです。

I was able to visit the northernmost cape of Okinawa Main Island, and I spent an hour exploring the Okinawa World, and on top of that, I could stay at the aquarium for three hours, which was really great. Overall, I was able to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. It was also nice that the bus guide was very reliable.

沖縄本島の最北端の岬に行けてさらに大石林山を一時間かけて回れて、その上水族館も３時間滞在できとてもよかったです。全体的に駆け足になることもなく十分堪能できました。バスガイドさんがしっかりとした方であった点もよかったです。
