All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

I used a charter taxi for two days. The drivers were different each day, but both were kind and friendly. On the first day, the driver introduced us to various landmarks and Okinawan culture. The driver on the second day also guided us according to our wishes. I will use this service again.

二日間貸切タクシーを利用しました。ドライバはそれぞれ違う方ですが、2人とも親切で接してくれました。一日目のドライバは途中の名所も沖縄の文化も紹介してくれました。二日目のドライバも我々の希望通り案内してくれました。
また利用させていただきます。

After getting on the bus, my friend, who started feeling unwell after a while, surprised us by saying she wanted to go back to the hotel. We decided to consult the guide, and after talking to them, they provided us with polite assistance, allowing her to recover and enjoy the rest of the trip.

This was my fifth time in Okinawa, but it was my friend's first visit, so I was relieved we didn't have to make any unscheduled stops. I usually rely on public transportation and walking to reach my destinations, so this was my first time taking a bus like this. I enjoyed visiting Pineapple Park, Manzamo, and Kouri Bridge, which were all new experiences for me. Thank you to the guide and the driver.

If I had to say something, I wish I could have spent a little more time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. However, given our packed schedule, I suppose time constraints are inevitable.

バスに乗って、しばらくして体調不良を訴えた友人は、ここでホテルに帰ると言い出してびっくり。ガイドさんに相談してみよう、ということで、話したら丁寧な対応をしていただいて彼女は復調して最後まで楽しむことができました。
私は沖縄５回目でしたが、友人は初めてでしたし、途中下車しなくてよかったです。
私は、今まで自力主義で路線バスや歩きで目的まで行くので、こういうバスに乗ったのは初めてでした。パイナップルパークや万座毛、古宇利大橋は初めてでしたの、楽しめました。
ガイドさん、ドライバーさん、ありがとうございました。


あえて言えば、もう少し、美ら海水族館にいたかった・・です。欲張りな日程なので、時間不足は敷かないのでしょうが。

The scenery was beautiful, and we visited several places in one day. Both the driver and the guide were great. I will book again later. I am very satisfied.

景色がきれいで、一日にいくつかの場所に行きました。運転手もガイドもいいです。後でまた予約する。とても満足です

It was my first time in Okinawa and my first bus tour, and I was very satisfied. It was a great deal to visit so many places in one day with entry tickets included.

The tour guide's enthusiasm and consideration to ensure everyone had a good time were wonderful!

The souvenir shop's recommendation of "this is what we recommend here" was also nice.

However, I was surprised that… I was told via email that it would be a white or red bus, but when I waited, it didn't come at all. The tour guide called out names and helped me find it, so I was able to board safely, but the bus that arrived was blue.

I was a bit worried when I signed up, wondering if this bus company would be okay, but I was very satisfied with my choice. I would like to use their services again when I come back to Okinawa.

初めての沖縄で初めてのバスツアーでしたが大満足です。
1日でこれだけ回れて入場券付きはお得。

添乗員さんの全力で楽しんでもらおうという意気込み気遣いが素晴らしい！！

お土産さんの「ここではこれがオススメですよ」も良かったです。

ただひとつびっくりしたのは……メールで白か赤のバスですとのことだったので、待っていたらぜんぜん来なくて。
添乗員さんが名前を呼んで探してくれたので無事に乗れましたが。当日来たのはブルーのバスでした。

申し込む時はこのバス会社で大丈夫かなぁと不安でしたが申し込んで大満足でした。また沖縄に来た時はお世話になりたいと思います。

I was able to enjoy various things slowly without worrying about driving in an unfamiliar place. I was able to see everything in a limited time and had a very effective and enjoyable experience! Thank you.

慣れない場所での運転を気にする事なくゆっくりと色々楽しめました。
限られた時間で全て周れてとても有効に楽しめました！
ありがとうございました。

It was supposed to rain, but surprisingly, the clouds held off. Although it was slower than walking, I applaud the water buffalo for their effort. I encountered a kingfisher in the mangroves, which made for a very enjoyable time. Finally, we visited Taketomi Island. It was full of old-fashioned charm, and I was able to savor the good old days. I would love to come back again.

雨予報でしたが、なんと雲でもってくれました。時間的には、徒歩より遅いですが、水牛のがんばりに、拍手👏。マングローブでは、カワセミに遭遇。ととても楽しい時間でした。最後は、竹富島。昔の雰囲気がいっぱいで、古き良き時代を満喫できました。再度来たいと思います。

It's quite challenging to arrange everything on your own, but being able to leave it all to someone else is really helpful. I highly recommend this for those who want to visit various places and see different sights, even if it's a bit rushed! The transportation to and from the hotel and experience locations is very thorough! The bus driver on Iriomote Island was also very entertaining. I have difficulty walking and used a cane, but they were very considerate about the seating, and I was extremely satisfied.

個人で手配すると大変ですが全てお任せ出来るのがとても助かります。少し駆け足ですが色々な所を回りたい、見たい人には凄くおすすめです！ホテルまでの送迎や体験場所までの送迎もついて至れり尽くせりです！西表島のバスの運転手さんの話も面白かったです。足が悪く杖をついていましたが、座席なども気を使って頂いて大満足でした。

First of all, the bus driver who guided us around Iriomote Island was very good at explaining things, which was great. The water buffalo cart to Yufu Island was also nice because we could listen to live sanshin music. However, I felt that we had a bit too much free time on Yufu Island itself. After that, we had the Nakama River mangrove tour, but I think it would have been more enjoyable to reverse the order, shorten the time on Yufu Island, and extend the time on Taketomi Island.

先ず、西表島は島内移動バスの運転手さんのガイドは説明が上手く、良かったです。
由布島への水牛車も、三線生歌を聞けて良かったです。
ただ、由布島自体は少し時間を持て余す感じでした。
その後、仲間川マングローブツアーでしたが、順番は逆にして由布島も短くして、
竹富島の時間を長くした方が楽しめる気がしました。

It's a completely different world from the main island! Each island is totally different. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I chose to explore Taketomi freely, but getting around was inconvenient. Next time, I would like to rent a bicycle.

とにかく本島とは別世界！
島ごとにぜんぜん違います。
とにかく素敵な体験ができました。
竹富はフリー散策にしたのですが、移動が不便でした。次回は、自転車を借りたいと思いました。

It was a relaxing and heartwarming day trip. After arriving at Iriomote Island, the bus driver who took us from the port to Yufu Island entertained us with witty talk, filling the vehicle with laughter and smiles. Additionally, the water buffalo pulling the cart to Yufu Island had names, and we were introduced to their personalities, which was delightful.

On Taketomi Island, there are options for transportation such as rental bicycles and carts, but walking slowly allowed us to make many small discoveries. The sight of the water buffalo cart moving leisurely along the alleys surrounded by coral stone walls and flowers will remain a cherished memory of Taketomi Island.

のんびり、ほっこりできた日帰りツアーでした。
西表島に到着後、港から由布島までの移動でお世話になったバスドライバーの軽妙なトークで、車内は笑いと笑顔で満たされました。また、由布島までのんびりと牛車を引っ張る水牛くんには名前がついており、それぞれの性格まで紹介して頂き、ほっこりしました。
竹富島での移動にはレンタサイクルや牛車などがありますが、徒歩でゆっくり巡ったお陰で沢山の小さな発見がありました。珊瑚の石垣と花に囲まれた路地を歩きながら見た、水牛の牛車がのんびりと移動する様子は、竹富島の良い思い出として心に残りました。

The Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley were mystical and very nice. It was a sunny day, so I had no trouble wearing sneakers. The temperature was mild enough that a sweater was sufficient, and I thought a raincoat would be handy if it rained. It seemed like the roads were crowded, so taking a bus tour was convenient without any waiting time. On the way back, I got off at Naha Airport, which made it very convenient to head home.

斎場御嶽、ガンガラーの谷は神秘的でとても良かったです。晴れの日だったので、スニーカーで楽々でした。気温はコートは要らず、セーターだけで充分。雨ならレインコートが有れば便利かと思いました。車は混み合うようで、バスツアーですと、待ち時間もなく楽でした。帰りは那覇空港で降りたので、そのまま帰れてとても便利でした。

It was a trip with a couple I traveled with for the first time. We had a taxi booked from the first day, and the driver was very kind, knowledgeable, and provided a wonderful guide. The taxi driver became one of the memorable parts of the trip. I even received a business card and would like to request him next time. Thank you very much. It was fantastic.

初めて行ったご夫婦との旅でした。
初日からタクシーを予約していたのですが
とても親切で詳しくて勉強になり、素晴らしいガイドをしてくれました。予約タクシーの運転手がものすごく良かったと、
旅の思い出の一つになりました。
名刺を頂き今度は指名したいほどでした。
本当にありがとうございました。
素晴らしかったです。

The main purpose of this trip was to ride the water buffalo cart, and I learned a lot from the explanations about the mangroves. Hearing about the unique natural formation of the subtropics and seeing it right in front of me made for a great experience. Riding the water buffalo was a first for me, and each buffalo had its own personality, which was fun. The tour was truly wonderful.

今回水牛車に乗るのが一番の目的でしたかか、マングローブについていろいろ説明を受けて勉強になりました。亜熱帯ならではの自然の成り立ちを聞き目の前に広がり、良い体験になりました。水牛車は初めての体験で乗る水牛によって個性があり楽しかったです。
ツアーは本当に素晴らしかったです。

It was my first time on Iriomote Island. We traveled by bus from the port to the cart station on Yufu Island, and the driver provided a really entertaining guide, making it a fun experience. The cart ride, the exploration of Yufu Island, and the lunch bento were all delicious. I definitely want to go back if I have the chance.

初めての西表島でした。港から由布島の
牛車乗り場まで、バスで移動でしたが運転士さんが凄い面白いガイドをしていただき楽しい時間でした。牛車も由布島の散策や昼食のお弁当も美味しいかったですね。又機会があれば是非行きたいところです。

The time spent at each sightseeing spot is far too short. There's nothing you can do except for using the restroom. Please allocate more time at the main locations.

Also, is there any way to improve the meals at Auntie Pozer's table? The main hamburger is too bland. The tempura of white fish has no flavor at all, and there are no seasonings like salt. The small noodle soup is too greasy. I felt that the variety of side dishes was just for the sake of having many.

If it's a sightseeing bus, please clean the windows every day. It's not a regular bus.

The person in charge should join the tour once to understand the feelings of the tourists and aim for improvements.

各々の観光地の滞在時間があまりにも短すぎです。トイレ以外何もできません。
メインの場所では時間をとってください。

あと、ポーザーおばさんの食卓での食事は何とかなりませんか?　メインのハンバーグの味が薄すぎます。白身の魚の天ぷらは何の味もしませんし、塩などの調味料すらありません。小さな麺のスープが油っこすぎです。おかずの種類がただ多いだけと感じました。

観光バスであれば毎日窓のガラスをきれいに拭いてください。路線バスではありません。

観光客の気持ちとなって責任者は一度ツアーに同行すべきです。そして改善を目指してください。

There were many types of corals and fish, and they provided a lot of explanations! The storytelling was excellent, easy to understand, and I had a great time. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle, which really boosted my excitement. Thank you very much!

珊瑚や魚の種類が多くたくさん説明をしてくれました！お話が上手でわかりやすく楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
海ガメにも出会え嬉しくてテンションが上がりました。ありがとうございました！

During my first solo trip to Okinawa, I was unsure about renting a car since I didn't know the area. After hearing about bus tours from acquaintances who traveled to Okinawa, I did some research and read experiences from solo participants, which led me to decide to join a tour for efficient sightseeing.

Participating in the tour allowed me to visit the attractions I wanted to see in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The beautiful Okinawan sea, the Churaumi Aquarium, and the live performance at Ryukyu Village were all wonderful experiences. I also signed up for a dinner that included a shamisen live performance, as I wanted to enjoy local Okinawan cuisine.

Thanks to the driver who prioritized safe driving and the kind and attentive guide, I had a fantastic day. I was particularly impressed by the guide's efforts to communicate in Japanese, despite being unfamiliar with the language.

一人旅の初めての沖縄で、地理も分からずレンタカーを借りるか迷いました。沖縄を旅行した知人からバスツアーの話を聞き、色々と調べ、お一人様参加の体験談を読ませて頂き効率良く巡れそうと参加を決めました。実際に参加してみて、自分が回りたい観光地をコスパと効率良く巡れてます。沖縄の海をイメージして美ら海水族館に琉球村での生演奏、素晴らしいかったです。沖縄の地元料理堪能したかったので三味線ライブを味わるディナーも申し込みました。安全運転に努めて下さった運転手の方と親切丁寧なガイドの方の案内で素敵な一日を過ごせました。またガイド方の不慣れな日本で語学を駆使して活躍される姿がとても印象に残りました。

During my stay, I didn't rent a car. I used a sightseeing taxi to get to the headquarters and stayed overnight near Churaumi. The next day, I returned to Naha by bus.

I was able to enjoy Orion Beer for lunch, and it was comfortable.

滞在中、レンタカーを借りず
本部まで行きは観光タクシーを利用し
美ら海近くで一泊。
翌日はバスで那覇まで戻りました。

ランチにオリオンビールも飲め、快適でした。

Okinawa World was primarily for the limestone caves, but I also really enjoyed the Eisa dance. The caves are surprisingly long.
At the Peace Memorial Park, I quickly looked at the Cornerstone of Peace, the Flame of Peace, and the museum, and walked around the monuments. I think it would take more time to thoroughly explore the museum. It felt a bit unsatisfying.
At the Himeyuri Monument, I joined my guide in prayer, had a makunouchi bento, and then went to the museum. This museum is also quite impressive and allows for a decent amount of time to explore.
At Aeon Mall Okinawa Toyosaki, I think only the supermarket in the back would be enjoyable for Japanese people. However, there aren't any supermarkets around Kokusai Street, so it has its own appeal. You can buy juicy seasoning and Sanpin tea at a low price!

沖縄ワールドは鍾乳洞目当てでしたが、エイサーもとても楽しめました。鍾乳洞はびっくりするほど長いです。
平和記念公園は平和の礎や平和の火、資料館をざっと見て、モニュメントを回りました。資料館をもっとしっかり見ると時間がかかると思います。やや消化不良です。
ひめゆりの塔でガイドさんと手を合わせ、幕の内弁当を食べ、資料館へ。ここの資料館も見応えあります。割と時間を取ってくれています。
イーアス沖縄豊崎は、日本人なら奥のスーパーくらいしか楽しめないと思います。でも国際通り周辺にはスーパーがないので、それなりに魅力はあります。ジューシーの素やサンピン茶が安く買えます！

The guide's stories during the bus ride and at the destination were wonderful, making the tour much more enriching! As a beginner in Okinawa, I was able to learn a lot.

バスの道中や目的地でのガイドさんのお話が素晴らしく、ツアーの内容が何倍も深くなりました！沖縄の初心者ですが、いろいろ知ることができました。

A three-person trip with my mother in her 80s and my two daughters in their 50s. Considering my elderly mother, we used a private sightseeing taxi. Traveling to multiple tourist spots was physically less burdensome, and we didn't feel rushed, which made the experience very relaxing. Additionally, it was great that the risk of infections like influenza is lower during this time. It was also convenient to leave our luggage and souvenirs in the car, allowing us to move around hands-free.

For two days, Mr. F from Okinoto Transportation was our driver. His safe driving, guiding, and attentiveness were all “professional”! Thanks to him, we had a safe and comfortable private sightseeing taxi trip.

80代母と50代娘二人の三人旅。高齢の母のことを考え貸切観光タクシーを利用しました。複数の観光地への移動も体力的に負担が少なく時間に追われることもなく気持ち的にとてもラクでした。またこの時期インフルエンザ等の感染症リスクが少なくなるのも良かったです。宿泊に伴う荷物やおみやげを車内に置き、手ぶらで動けるのもありがたかったです。

今回２日間、沖東交通のFさんが担当してくださいました。安全運転、ガイド案内、気配り等全てにおいて“プロ”でした！お陰様で安心・快適な貸切観光タクシーの旅でした。

They efficiently take you to the places you want to go and allow you to do what you want to do. I went cycling on Taketomi Island, but I was told to call 15 minutes before the meeting time if I got lost. However, there was no call beforehand. One person was not seen by the meeting time and missed the return ferry. I wonder if they managed to get back on their own? Please be careful.

行きたいところに効率よく連れて行って、やりたいことやらせてもらえます。
竹富島でサイクリングをしましたが、迷子になっなら集合時間15分前までに電話くださいね。と言われていましたが事前に電話がなかったのでしょう。お一人の方が集合時間になっても姿が見えず、帰りのフェリーに乗れませんでした。自力で帰られたのでしょうか？お気をつけください。

Compared to exploring freely with a rental car, it was a reasonable and efficient way to sightsee. The bus guide's explanations were very helpful!

レンタカーで自由に散策に比べてリーズナブルに効率よく観光ができました。
バスガイドさんの話つきでよく分かりました！

I participated in the same tour last time and the tour guide was very good, so I signed up again this time. I was hoping for the same tour guide, but I was a bit disappointed and wished for a little more attentiveness.

前回同じコースで参加して添乗員さんがとても良かったので、今回も申し込みしました。
期待していた添乗員さんが､イマイチでもう少し気配りして欲しかったです。

As expected from a tour, there was an explanation about the island inside the ferry, and the mangrove tour was educational. The bus driver's stories on the way to the water buffalo cart station were also interesting. The stories and songs from the water buffalo handler had a local feel and were wonderful, and riding the water buffalo cart was a great experience.

On Taketomi Island, I was able to see the main spots in a bit of a rush using a rental bicycle.

Regarding the transfer between the terminal and the hotel, since I had a rental bicycle, even after returning on the 4 PM ferry, I was able to inform the counter and received a transfer to the hotel on the last service at 5 PM, allowing me to buy souvenirs at Euglena Mall.

流石ツアーだけあってフェリー内も島の説明があり、マングローブ巡りも説明が勉強になる。
水牛車乗り場までのバスの運転手さんの話も興味深い。
水牛使いの方の話も歌も地元感があって素晴らしいし、水牛車も良い体験でした。
竹富島はレンタルサイクルでちょっと駆け足気味で主なスポットは見てまわれました。

ターミナル～ホテル間の送迎について
レンタルサイクルだったので16時の船便で帰ってきてもカウンターで伝えたら17時の最終でホテル送迎をして貰えてユーグレナモールでお土産も買えました。

I was taken by bus and had some free time, which was enjoyable. I was also glad to be able to feed the dolphins (for an additional fee).

バスで連れていってもらえて自由時間もあり、楽しめました。
いるかさんにも餌(別料金)をあげれて良かったです。

I enjoyed the trip. the weather was bit windy and drizzling. The staff was very helpful and kind.

Arigatho!!

I think it was a tour with a fulfilling schedule that allowed us to enjoy the characteristics of each of the three islands. If I had to be picky, I would have liked a bit more time on Taketomi Island.

スケジュールが充実していて、3島それぞれの特徴を楽しめるツアーだったと思います。
欲を言えば、竹富島の滞在時間がもう少し長かったらと思いました。

It was very helpful to have someone waiting at the meeting place on time. If there are places you want to visit, you can let the driver know, and they will make a stop for you, so there were no particular issues. We did go a little over time (about 15 minutes) at the end, but there was no additional charge. The driver's driving was very comfortable and calm, so I don't think anyone who gets car sick needs to worry.

時間通りに待ち合わせる場所に待機してもらうことにとても助かりました。回りたいところがあれば運転手さんに伝えたら寄ってくれますので、特に困るところはありませんでした。最後に少し時間オーバー（15分ぐらい）しましたが、追加料金の請求はありませんでした。
運転手さんの運転はとても快適で、落ち着いていますので、車酔いの人でも心配は要らないと思います。

The singing was great, and the explanations were well done. It was a fun bus tour. Thank you very much, including to the driver.

歌上手い、説明上手でした。楽しいバスツアーとなりました。運転手さんも合わせて本当にありがとうございました。
