All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

The bus tour in southern Okinawa was great, with the guide's explanations being easy to understand. This was my fourth time in Okinawa, but it was my first time in the south. I was especially impressed by the length and size of the limestone cave. If I have the opportunity, I will participate in a bus tour again.

沖縄南部バスツアーはガイドさんの説明が分かりやすく良かったです、沖縄県は4回目ですが南部は初めてでした、特に鍾乳洞の長さ広さに感動しました。
又機会があればバスツアーに参加致します。

This is an efficient course that allows you to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. I think it's great for first-time participants. Unfortunately, the weather was bad from the morning, and we couldn't explore Yufu Island due to the storm, which was disappointing. On Taketomi Island, we had a bus tour, and since it was raining on and off, it was nice to be able to move around without getting wet. However, the last free exploration time was only 15 minutes, which felt a bit rushed, so I would have appreciated a little more time.

西表島、由布島、竹富島を効率よく周れるコースです。初めて参加する人には良いと思います。朝から天気が悪く、由布島では暴風雨で島を散策できなかったのが残念でした。また竹富島はバス観光でしたが、雨が降ったり止んだりだったので、濡れずに移動ができてよかったです。最後の自由散策が15分しかなくて、忙しかったのでもう少し時間があると嬉しいかな。

It was great that the guide, who played the sanshin and sang while riding the water buffalo for the first time, added a touch of charm. Riding the water buffalo through the streets of Taketomi Island made me feel like time was flowing leisurely. I was impressed by the mangroves. It was the best experience, fully enjoyed in just one day.

初めて水牛に乗り、三線を引いて歌を歌ってくれたガイドさんが風情を出してくれて良かったです。竹富島を水牛に乗って街並みを見てゆったりした時間を流れた気がします。マングローブは感激しました。1日で満喫出来て最高でした。

I was able to relax at the Churaumi Aquarium. If I had to wish for something, I would have liked to have a bit more time at American Village to see the illuminations, but overall, I was very satisfied. I participated alone, but I was able to talk with others who were also there alone, as well as families, making it a fun tour and a great memory.

美ら海水族館でゆっくりできました。欲を言えば、アメリカンビレッジに、もう少し滞在時間があってイルミネーションが見られたら良かったとは思いますが、十分満足できるものでした。私は、1人参加でしたが、同じく1人参加の方や、親子参加の方とお話しでき、楽しいツアーで、良い思い出になりました。

I arrived at Ishigaki Airport on the day and participated in a tour at 2:30 PM. The weather was drizzly and the waves were rough, but the rocking of the boat felt like an attraction, and both the kids and we enjoyed it. Taketomi Island is a small island, but it has a peaceful atmosphere, and even in the rain, I enjoyed feeling the unchanged scenery from the past.

当日の昼に石垣空港に到着し、14時半のツアーに参加しました。天気は小雨で波も荒れてましたが、舟の揺れがアトラクションみたいで子供も私たちも楽しんでいました。
竹富島は小さな島ですが、穏やかな時間が流れて、雨でも昔から変わらない風景を感じて楽しかったです。

At the Churaumi Aquarium, the parking lot was quite a distance away, but seeing my companion struggling to walk, I appreciated the consideration to allow us to drive to the entrance of the aquarium. Thank you very much.

美ら海水族館で駐車場からかなり距離がありましたが、歩きにくそうにしていた同行者を見て水族館の入口まで車で移動できるよう配慮していただきました。ありがとうございました。

We were picked up at our hotel for an early start at 7:10 AM to visit three islands. The tour was packed with activities, including a boat ride, water buffalo experience, and a mangrove cruise. It felt like we could see and do everything we wanted with this great tour. The lunch was delicious as well.

Even though it was a cold December, we were fortunate with the weather. In the morning, a short-sleeve shirt was a bit chilly, but by midday, it was hot enough that you needed short sleeves. Riding a bicycle around Taketomi Island made us sweat, but I think it's better to rent a bike if you're going to explore the beaches.

ホテルまで送迎いただき、3島めぐるので朝は7時10分と早めのお迎え。
船も水牛もマングローブクルージングも付いていて盛りだくさん。
行きたい所見たいもの全てこれで叶う感じの良いツアーでした。
ランチも美味しかったです。
12月の寒い時期ですが、お天気にも恵まれ、朝は半袖じゃ寒いですが、昼間は半袖じゃなきゃ暑いくらいでした。
竹富島の自転車巡りは汗だくでしたが、浜巡りするなら自転車借りた方がいいと思います。

The tour was very satisfying, with plenty of experiences including mangrove and water buffalo, as well as Taketomi Island. Each tour guide was very entertaining and their explanations were easy to understand.

マングローブに水牛体験、竹富島もたっぷりと満足できるツアーでした。各ツアーガイドさんもとても面白く、説明も分かりやすかったです。

I extracted the highlights of the three islands (Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island), and it was a very satisfying tour. The explanations from the guide at key points were clear and interesting.

三島（西表島、由布島、竹富島）の良い所を抽出してあり、大満足なツアーでした。
要所要所のガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、面白かった。

I participated alone.
If it's your first time in Okinawa, I think it's enough to cover the key spots, even if it's a bit rushed.
You can also buy meals and souvenirs.
One thing that bothered me a bit was that the foreign person in front of me reclined their seat quite a bit, which made it very cramped.
On the way back, perhaps due to traffic, the driving was quite rough, and I felt a bit nauseous. If you're going to hit the weekday rush hour, I think it would be better to depart a little earlier.
However, the staff on the bus were kind, polite, and worked hard, so overall, I’m glad I participated.

一人で参加しました。
沖縄初めてでしたら、駆け足ですが要所を回るには十分だと思います。
食事もお土産も買えます。
少し気になったのは、前の席の外国の方がシートをかなり下げてきたので、非常にキツくなった。
帰りは渋滞したためか、結構運転が荒く、若干酔いました。平日の帰宅ラッシュにぶつかるのであれば、少し早い時間に出発しても良いかと思いました。
なお、バス内の従業員の方は親切丁寧で、一生懸命でしたので、総合的には参加して良かったです。

I was able to visit Kouri Island without using a car or rental car.

At the Tropical Dream Center, the ticket I submitted at the reception had the previous day's date, so they checked it for me, and I was able to enter safely and enjoy the exhibits at my leisure.

American Village was beautiful with Christmas illuminations, and I wished I could have stayed longer.

車やレンタカーを利用せずに古宇利島に行けました。

熱帯ドリームセンターは受付に提出したチケットが
前日の日付になっていたので確認していただき
無事、入場できてゆっくりと鑑賞できました。

アメリカンビレッジはクリスマスのイルミネーションで綺麗で
もっと滞在したかったです。

Although the weather was occasionally rainy, I was happy to be able to experience both the mangrove river cruise and the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island, which are experiences that are hard to come by. Cycling on Taketomi Island was difficult because of the sandy paths. I think it's better to walk around and see the houses on Taketomi Island. All the cafes were closed, so there was nowhere to take a break, and I wanted to relax while enjoying the scenery. Kaiji Beach was narrow, which was a bit disappointing. I realized that the ocean views are all quite similar.

時々雨のお天気でしたが、マングローブの川クルーズも由布島の水牛車もなかなかできない体験を欲張って全部できて、嬉しかった。
竹富島のサイクリングは砂道なので走りにくかった。竹富島は徒歩で家並を見て歩くぐらいがいいかな。カフェが全部お休みで休憩するところがないので、景色を見ながらゆっくりしたかった。カイジ浜は狭くてちょっと残念。
海の景色はみんな似たようなものなのだとわかった。

- I was finally able to land on Iriomote Island.
- I got to interact with the water buffalo. I'm grateful to them.
- The space where the Okinawan butterflies and others flutter around is very heartwarming.

・念願の西表島に上陸出来た。
・水牛たちと触れ合えた。彼らに感謝です。
・オオマダラ他の蝶々が飛び交う空間は大変ほっこりします。

It was a day filled with visiting the famous tourist spots of Ishigaki Island. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

朝から一日、石垣島の有名観光名所のいいところを巡る旅になりました。
このツアーに
参加して本当によかったと思います。

Unlike typical tours, there was no need to confirm the number of participants, which allowed us to act at our own pace without stress. Additionally, everything went smoothly according to the itinerary.

いわゆるツアーとは異なり、人数確認等がないので、ストレスなく自分達のペースで行動できた点が良かった。また、順調に工程表どおりで順調であった。

Churaumi Aquarium is top-notch, but the pineapple farm that was outside of the harvest season and Okashi Goten was the worst.

美ら海水族館は最高ランク、だけどパイナップルの収穫時期を外れたパイナップル園、御菓子御殿は最悪でした。

On my first visit to Miyako Island, I wasn't sure where to go, but they suggested a tour around the island. Miyako Island, Irabu Island, Shimoji Island, Ikema Island, and Kurima Island are all connected by bridges, and driving while enjoying the beautiful sea was very satisfying. The banana cake from the shop they guided me to at the end was also very delicious.

初めての宮古島で、どこに行っていいのかわからなかったのですが、島巡りを提案してくれました。
全て橋で繋がっている宮古島、伊良部島、下地島、池間島、来間島、綺麗な海をみながらのドライブ、満足でした。
最後に案内いただいた、バナナケーキやさんの
ケーキも、とても美味しかったです。

I had long hoped to take a tour on a water buffalo cart. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the driver and everyone else played the sanshin, making it a wonderful experience.

かねてから希望していた水牛車での観光。景色だけでなくドライバー？の方が皆さん三線を奏でてくれ、最高のひと時でした。

It's a packed tour with five stops, but the guide's explanations during the travel were excellent, making it very meaningful and not boring at all. Additionally, they were flexible in adjusting the schedule according to the day's circumstances, allowing us to see everything we wanted, which made us very satisfied.

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is quite large, so it might not be suitable for those who want to see various things beyond the aquarium. (If you want to see a lot, I think it's generally not feasible on a tour.)

5カ所を周るのでかなり盛りだくさんなツアーですが、移動中もガイドさんのご説明が素晴らしく、退屈せずとても有意義に過ごせました。
また、当日の状況に合わせて柔軟に時間の調整もしてくださり、見たいものが全て見られたので大満足です。

海洋博公園はとても広いので、水族館以外も色々見たい方には向かないかも。（色々見たい場合はそもそもツアーでは無理だと思いますが）

Unfortunately, many shops were closed as they coincided with the sacred rituals on Taketomi Island, but I was able to see the festival at just the right time. Also, the bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island was very entertaining with his explanations. The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but the boats were still operating, and I was able to fully enjoy the mangroves and other sights.

ちょうど、竹富島の神事と重なり、閉まっているお店が多くて、残念でしたが、タイミングよくお祭りを見ることが出来ました。
また、西表島をバスで案内して下さる運転手の方、せつめいが面白かったです。
天候も、あいにくの曇り空でしたが、船も運行し、マングローブなど満喫出来ました。

The weather wasn't great, but it was still an enjoyable tour. We traveled between the islands, and even while on the vehicles, the guide shared stories about the islands. Since I usually rent a car, it was nice to learn these little tidbits. If the weather had been better, it would have been even more amazing.

天気が良くなかったのですが、それでも楽しめるツアーでした。
離島を転々とまわって、乗り物に乗っていてもガイドさんが島の話をしてくれます。
いつもレンタカーなので、こういうのも豆知識がしれて良かった
天気が良かったら、もっと最高だった

In the morning, it was unfortunately rainy, but in the afternoon, the rain stopped and it was quite hot. I was able to really feel the difference in the color of the sea during the rain and when it was clear, which was very nice.

午前中は生憎の雨でしたが午後からは雨も上がり暑い位でした。雨の時の海の色と晴れた時の海の色の違いを実感出来て、とても良かったです。

The weather was rainy and then cloudy, so the scenery was disappointing, but the staff were all kind and attentive. In particular, the staff member who guided us when we rode the cow on Taketomi Island provided clear explanations and was skilled at playing the sanshin and singing. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

天気は、雨のち曇りだったので景色は残念でしたが、スタッフの方は、皆さん親切丁寧でした。特に竹富島の牛に乗った際、案内して頂いたスタッフの方は、説明も分かりやすく三線も唄も上手でした。良い思い出になりました。有り難うございました。

I made a reservation for late November and traveled around Iriomote and Yufu Island. This was my first time visiting during this season, and I was a bit disappointed because the weather was not great. However, the water buffalo were so cute! I would love to visit again when the weather is nice.

11月後半に予約をし、西表、由布島を旅行で巡りました。今回この季節に行くのは、初めてで、ちょっと天気が、悪くてがっかりしました。でも水牛ちゃんが可愛いかったです。又季節、天気がいい時にもう一度巡りたいです。

The emerald blue beauty of Irabu Island and Miyako Island was exceptional, and the explanations provided by our driver were both thorough and enjoyable, making it a memorable trip.

伊良部島や宮古島の海のエメラルドブルーの美しさも格別でしたが、案内してくださったドライバーさんの解説も丁寧で楽しくて、思い出残る旅になりました。

The weather is relatively calm, and when you throw bait into the sea, you can see many fish gathering through the underwater glass window at the bottom of the boat. When the boat rocks, small children may get seasick.

比較的穏やかな天気で海に餌を投げると魚がたくさん寄ってくるのが船底の水中ガラス窓からよく見える。船が揺れると小さな子供は船酔いする事もあります。

Although it was a short time, I was able to visit various tourist spots. The Churaumi Aquarium is very spacious and provides a good workout. The whale sharks, sea turtles, and dolphin shows left a strong impression, making it a fun experience. American Village truly feels like being in the United States. It would have been nice to have a bit more time at each location.

短い時間ながら、様々な観光地を巡る事が出来た。美ら海水族館は、とても広く運動になる。ジンベイザメ、ウミガメ、イルカショーが印象に残こり、楽しい体験だった。アメリカン・ビレッジは、本当に米国にいるよう。各ヶ所、もう少し滞在時間があれば良かった。

I can't drive, so I rely solely on public transportation, but the bus fare to the northern region is surprisingly high. In that regard, I felt that this day trip tour, which includes sightseeing and lunch, was a great deal.

On the day of the tour, there were about 11 participants, but since it was a large bus, we were able to relax comfortably. Except for two groups, most of the participants were solo travelers, and there were many foreigners.

At Asumuihikes (Daishi Forest), we had a 60-minute stay, during which we explored the short course and the Spirit Forest, and we even enjoyed coffee in the lounge. The timing was just right. For those who may not be confident in their physical fitness, the short course is enjoyable without being too strenuous. The forest course, on the other hand, has larger stones and tree roots, which might make it a bit difficult to walk.

The seafood lunch included sashimi and grilled mackerel, and it was very delicious. Since it was December, the temperature was just right, and we were blessed with good weather. I'm really glad I participated.

私は車の運転ができないので、移動は公共交通機関のみなのですが、北部までのバスって意外とお値段が高いんですよね。
その点、この日帰りツアーは観光もランチも付いていて、とてもお得だと感じました。

当日は参加者が11名ほどでしたが、大型バスだったのでゆったりと過ごせました。
2組を除き、ほとんどがおひとり様で、外国人の参加者が多かったです。

アスムイハイクス（大石林山）は60分の滞在でしたが、ショートコースとスピリットフォレストを回り、ラウンジでコーヒーも飲めて、ちょうど良い時間配分でした。
ショートコースなら、体力に自信がない方でも無理なく楽しめると思います。
フォレストコースの方は大きめの石や木の根があり、少し歩きにくいと感じるかもしれません。

海鮮ランチはお刺身と鯖の塩焼きで、とても美味しくいただきました。
12月ということもあり気温がちょうど良く、天気にも恵まれて、参加して本当に良かったです。

It was my first time using a sightseeing taxi, and I was a bit nervous, but the driver was incredibly friendly and fun, making the experience enjoyable and completely satisfying until the end. I requested a 10-hour tour, and not only did he take me to all the places I wanted to visit, like Kouri Island, the World Heritage sites, and Yachimun no Sato, but he also shared breathtaking spots and recommended attractions that only a driver would know. It was a 120% fulfilling experience of Okinawa sightseeing! 😆 I would love to request the same driver again! 😁

観光タクシー初めてで、緊張してたのですが、運転手さんがすごく気さくでそして楽しい方で最後まで楽しく大満足です。
１０時間お願いして、古宇利島、世界遺産、やちむんの里、万座毛など行きたい所に案内してくれるのはもちろんのこと、運転手さんだから知っている絶景スポットや、おすすめ観光地を教えてくれて120%満喫した沖縄観光でした😆
また、同じ運転手さんにお願いしたいです😁

I requested a tour of World Heritage sites in 8 hours. The driver always drove safely and explained the tourist attractions and famous local spots along the way. They also guided us to a restaurant for lunch, which was very helpful. We had interesting conversations about Okinawan culture, customs, and food, which made it a lot of fun. I also tried the local awamori recommended by the driver at a local izakaya (it was delicious). Since we couldn't visit all the World Heritage sites, I plan to request this service again the next time I go.

8時間で世界遺産巡りをお願いしました。
常に安全運転で、道々観光名所や地域の有名所をご説明していただきました。
お昼のレストランも案内していただき、助かりました。
沖縄の文化や習慣、また食べ物の話など、興味深いお話もでき、大変楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんオススメの泡盛も、地元の居酒屋さんで試してみました。（美味しかったです）
すべての世界遺産を回れなかったので、次回行ったときには、またお願いしようと思います。
