All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

We departed from Chatan and headed to the Churaumi Aquarium.

For directions to the aquarium entrance, based on the time we arrived, we were advised that it would be better to enter the Okichan Theater (dolphin show) early to secure a good spot rather than exploring the aquarium first. We managed to get front-row seats! My grandchild had the best reactions!

On the way back, we had some extra time, so we went to Manzamo. We followed the suggested time allocation for our visit here as well, and we were able to return to Chatan right on schedule.

We had a fulfilling and enjoyable day. Thank you very much!

北谷から出発して美ら海水族館へ。
水族館入口へ道案内、
着いた時間からすると館内見学を先にするよりオキちゃん劇場（イルカシヨウ）を早めに入って場所取りしたほうが良いとアドバイス頂き最前列を確保‼️孫は最高のリアクション‼️
帰りに時間の余裕があったので万座毛へ。
ここもアドバイス通りの時間配分で見学して、時間通りに北谷に戻ることができました。
充実した楽しい1日を過ごすことが出来ました。
本当にありがとうございました。

The purpose was to hike at Asumu, but I think it was a very worthwhile tour as we also visited the related Stone Museum, Cape Hedo, Shikuwasa Park, had lunch at the very popular Kunigami Shokudo, and finally made it to Kouri Island. I was worried at first because the weather was rainy, but it cleared up at Cape Hedo, and I was glad we could hike without any issues.

目的はアスムイハイクでしたが、関連のストーン美術館、辺戸岬、シークァーサーパーク、ランチは大人気の国頭食堂、最後は古宇利島まで行けて大変お得なツアーだと思います。天気が最初雨で心配でしたが、辺戸岬ではなんとか上がり、ハイクも問題なくできてよかったです。

We visited for our honeymoon. Since neither of us can drive, we found a service that provides taxi tours around tourist spots and decided to use it.

In conclusion, we are very glad we made this request! We chose a 6-hour course and had no specific plan, so we let the driver take us around. Not only did we visit famous places, but we were also guided to stories and locations that only locals would know along the way, which was very meaningful.

Although we visited several places in those 6 hours, the time at each spot was short, but it was just right for someone as impatient as me, haha. If we have the opportunity to use this service again, I think it would be nice to research the places we want to visit in advance!

I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Miyako Island for the first time and wanting a guided tour!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

新婚旅行で伺いました。
夫婦共に車の運転ができないのでタクシーで観光地を回ってくださるサービスを見つけ、利用させてもらいました。

結論、ご依頼してよかったです！
今回私たちは6時間コースでノープランだったので運転手の方にお任せで回ってもらいました。
有名どころはもちろんですが、観光地に向かう道中で地元の方しか知らないようなお話や場所に案内していただき、とても有意義でした。

6時間で数箇所回ってもらったため、各所は短時間でしたがせっかちな私にはちょうど良かったです笑
次もし利用させてもらう機会があれば、行きたいところリサーチして回っていただくのもありかなと思っております！

宮古島は初めて、ガイドさん付きで回りたいみたいな方にはとてもおすすめと思います！

ありがとうございました^ ^

I was able to sightsee at just the right time. It was easier than going around by myself. I had lunch at a restaurant with a great view. It was convenient to get dropped off at the airport.

丁度よい時間で観光できました。自力で巡るより楽ちん。景色のよいレストランでランチ。空港で下車できて便利でした。

The highlight of this tour was definitely the mangrove cruise in Iriomote Island, which was fantastic. I was impressed by the guide's explanations and assistance. I recorded the shamisen performance on the water buffalo cart, so I'll be listening to it again and again. For Taketomi Island, I chose the bus tour, which made it easy to explore various places, and it was perfect for older travelers.

このツアー最大の期待だった西表島マングローブクルーズがとっても良かった。ガイドさんの説明や対応も感動しました。水牛車の三味線演奏も動画撮影したのでちょくちょく聴き直します。竹富島はバスツアーを選んだで楽に色々廻れて年配者にには最高でした。

The weather was favorable, and the Sefa Utaki was very mystical. Participating in the Ganga-lar Valley while listening to the guide's stories made for a very enjoyable hike. On the last day of my trip to Okinawa, the half-day tour was very meaningful, and I was extremely satisfied.

天気にも恵まれ、斎場御嶽はとても神秘的で、ガイドさんの話を聞きながら参加するガンガラーの谷は、とても楽しくハイキングできました。
沖縄旅行の最終日で、半日ツアーはとても有意義に過ごすことができ、大満足です。

Yubu Island and Taketomi Island both had plenty of free time for independent activities, which allowed for a personal experience that was fantastic. The photos taken with the cows turned out to be unexpectedly wonderful, and I couldn't help but purchase them.

由布島も竹富島も自由行動時間がたっぷりで、自分なりの体験が出来、最高でした。
牛と一緒に撮った写真が思いのほか素敵で…思わず購入しました。

We made a reservation for the earliest time. We gathered at the meeting place while it was still dark. We were told it would just be the two of us, and we had the beach at Uni all to ourselves. The morning sun illuminated the sea, revealing the beautiful light blue shallow waters typical of a southern island. The rain and wind from the previous day had stopped, and we were able to enjoy the calm sea.

Our guide took photos with a drone, and we spent the remaining time walking to the edge of the beach. We looked at crab holes and picked up seashells. I was moved by the panoramic view. When it was time to return, tourists for the next time slot started arriving one after another, and I felt lucky to have had the beach to ourselves.

If you come to Miyako Island, this is a must-visit spot.

いちばん早い時間で予約。
まだまっくらな時間に集合場所へ。
わたしたちふたりだけだといわれ、貸し切り状態のユニの浜へ。
朝陽が海を照らしうつくしい南の島らしい浅瀬の水色を見せてくれました。前日までの雨も風も止み、凪のおだやかな海で過ごせました。
ガイドさんがドローンで撮影してくれて、残りの時間で浜の端まで歩きました。
カニの掘った穴を見たり貝殻を拾ったり。パノラマの景色に感動しました。
時間になり戻るときに次の時間帯の観光客が次々にやってきて、自分たちだけで過ごせてラッキーだったと思いました。
宮古島にきたらここは外せません。

I understood that the schedule was tight, but I felt that the tour guide was too anxious, which showed in their words and expressions. I realize that there were many people from overseas and of different ages, making it challenging, but I wished they could have handled it with a bit more calmness. Regarding masks, while I don't mind if someone chooses to wear one based on their own judgment, it felt a bit like moral coercion when they talked about it at length. Coexisting with infectious diseases is tough, but I think the attitude of a school teacher should be reconsidered. This is a tour meant for having fun.

スケジュールがタイトなことはわかっていましたが添乗員さんが焦りすぎで言葉にも表情にも感情がですぎだったと思います。海外のかたも多く年代もバラバラなので大変なのはわかりますがもう少し落ち着いて対応して欲しかったです。またマスクについて自分の判断で着けていることはかまいませんがながながと話して道徳的強制のように感じました。感染症と共存していくことは大変ですが学校の先生のような態度は少し考え直して欲しいと思いました。楽しく過ごすためのツアー参加です。

I spent a day exploring the northern part of Okinawa, and although we couldn't spend much time at each location, it was enjoyable. However, it was unfortunate that we couldn't have lunch due to the limited time at the tourist spots. I had heard comments suggesting that it would have been better to buy rice balls and drinks to eat on the bus, and I wish I had done that.

沖縄北部を1日かけて、観光できるため、個々の場所が時間かけれないけど楽しかったです。
ですが、観光地で限られた時間のため、昼食は取れないのが、残念でした。おむすびと飲み物を買ってからバスで食べる方が良いとコメントがあったため、そのようにすれば良かったな。

The journey always begins by taking a sightseeing bus to get a grasp of the layout of the area. The local guide's stories were enjoyable, making for a fulfilling bus tour. The optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay offers a discount for bus tour participants, and it's definitely something you should experience.

旅の始まりはいつも周遊のバスに乗り位置関係を掌握します。
地元のガイドさんのお話が楽しく、充実したバスツアーでした。
オプションの川平湾グラスボートは、バスツアー割引が有り絶対乗るべきです。

I was able to efficiently visit the islands. I rented a bicycle, but it seemed like the frame was bent, making it very difficult to ride and unstable. Since it had been decades since I last rode a bike, I initially thought it was just because I wasn't used to it. However, upon reflection, I realized that the handlebar setup and seat angle were in very poor condition. I regret not asking for a change right from the start.

非常に効率よく島々を廻れました。
レンタサイクルを借りましたが、フレームが曲がっているようで非常に乗りにくく安定した走りが出来ず苦労しました。
何十年ぶりに自転車に乗ったので、初めは慣れていないからかな？と思っていましたが冷静に考えてみるとハンドルのセッティング・座席の角度等非常に整備業況が悪いです。
最初に変更を望めば良かったと反省しきりです。

It was my first time in Ishigaki Island, and traveling while listening to the guide's stories was very informative. I'm glad I participated.

初めての石垣島でしたので、ガイドさんのお話を聞きながらの旅は、知ること多くて参加してよかったです。

I almost went around the whole island, and it was an amazing trip with fantastic weather. Since the weather on the island can change unexpectedly, two nights is enough to enjoy various places around the island.

ほぼ一周した、めちゃくちゃ良かった天気で、最高の旅でした。島の天気で、いつか変わるか珍しく無いので、二泊で、充分島のあちこち味わってもらって頂けると思います。

The day before, it was raining on and off, but on this day, there was wind, and it was sunny with beautiful colors in the sea. During the mangrove tour, I enjoyed the guide's fun stories and explanations about the types of mangroves. It was something I don't get to see often, so I'm glad I came. It turned out to be an amazing day.

前日は雨が降ったりやんだり、この日は風はあるけど晴れて海の色も綺麗でした
マングローブのでは、ガイドさんの楽しい話しとマングローブの種類の説明を聞いて楽しかったしなかなか見られるものでは無いので来て良かった
最高な日になりました。

The tour participants were a mix of Japanese and international guests. The guide was fluent in English, so I think the overseas guests had no difficulties. I have visited Okinawa many times, but I rarely get to go to the northern part, so it was a great tour.

We arrived at the Minato Kunigami Port Shokudo around 10:30, but since it opened at 11:00, we could only kill time wandering around the beach in front of the restaurant. The lunch was a hearty set meal, so I ended up quite full.

The weather wasn't great, and I was worried about getting caught in the rain during the Asumui Hikes, but it cleared up partway through, which was a relief. We walked over rocky and uneven terrain, so it would have been slippery if it had rained. I think it would be quite a hard path for elderly people or those with weak legs. The scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the sounds of birds chirping, the rustling of trees and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers. You can take your time walking or speed up to see everything. Although I didn't get to see the Okinawa Rail, there weren't any noisy participants in the tour, so I could enjoy the quiet sounds of nature and the fresh air.

On this day, the restroom breaks were at the Roadside Station Kyoda on the way there and at the Igei Service Area on the way back. The Roadside Station Kyoda is spacious, but you have to walk from the restroom to the souvenir shop, so shopping might not be feasible. I thought it would have been nice if we could stop at the small shop at Igei. I wish they could have scheduled some shopping time at both Kyoda and the service area, as that would have made it even more enjoyable. We also went to Cape Hedo, but the large statue of the Okinawa Rail was located a bit far away, so we couldn't see it up close (what a shame).

Fortunately, we managed to return to Naha City around 6:30 PM without getting caught in any traffic. Since it was a tour, we adhered strictly to the schedule. Everyone participating was punctual, so everything went smoothly. It was a full-day tour, but we were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner in Naha City at night, making it a fulfilling day.

ツアー参加者は日本の方と海外の方と混在でした。
ガイドの方は英語が堪能なので海外の方も不自由ではなかったかと思います。
沖縄には何度も訪問していますが、なかなか北部までは行くことが出来ないので良いツアーでした。

みなと国頭港食堂には１０時半頃着いてしまい、１１時～とのことだったので食堂前のビーチをうろうろするくらいしか時間を潰せませんでした。
お昼ご飯はしっかり定食でしたのでおなかがいっぱいになりました。

天候がいまいちだったのでアスムイハイクスで雨に降られたらどうしようと思いましたが、途中から晴れてきたので良かったです。
岩場や足場の悪いところを歩いて行くので、雨が降ったら滑りそうでした。
年配の方や足腰の弱い方は結構ハードな道だと思います。
景観も素晴らしいですが、鳥のさえずりや木々や葉の音、花の香りも楽しめます。
ゆっくり歩くもよし、早歩きで全部を回るもよしです。
ヤンバルクイナにはもちろん逢えませんでしたが、ツアー参加の方も騒がしい方が居なかったので、ゆっくり静かな自然の音や空気を楽しむことが出来ました。

この日のトイレ休憩は往路が道の駅許田、復路が伊芸ＳＡでした。
道の駅許田は広いしトイレから土産物店まで歩いて行かないといけないので買い物はダメでしょうが、伊芸は小さいので売店に寄らせてくれても良いのにな…と、ここだけお願いポイントでした。許田もＳＡも買い物時間含めてスケジュールを組んでくれたら、また楽しいのになと思いました。
あとは辺戸岬に行ったけれど、大きいヤンバルクイナの像はチョット離れたところにあるので、近くで見られませんでした（残念）

運良く何処でも渋滞にも巻き込まれずに那覇市内に１８時半頃には戻ってこれました。
ツアーなので時間厳守で進みました。参加された方が皆さん厳守されていたので順調にすすみました。
１日ツアーでしたが夜は那覇市内でゆっくりご飯が食べられるので充実の１日となりました。

The weather was nice, but the wind was a bit strong. It was very beautiful and wonderful. The video taken with the drone was very beautiful and moving.

My initial reservation was for 10 AM, but I received a message the day before that it would be better to change it to 12 PM as the wind was expected to be a bit weaker then. The tour guide was very kind, which was great. I will be in your care again.

お天気は良かったのですが風が少し強かったです。
とても綺麗で素晴らしい。
ドローンを使って撮って貰う動画がとても綺麗で感動しました。

最初の時間が10時予約だったのですが前日に12時に変更した方が風が少し弱くなる予定と連絡をいただきました。とても親切なツアーの方で良かったです。
またお世話になります。

I was actually worried that I might not have enough time or that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I was tired, but the bus guide was kind and made the departure times easy to understand and very helpful!

実際時間足りないかも、とか疲れてて楽しめないかなって思ってたけど
バスガイドさん優しくて出発時刻とかも分かりやすくて親切だった！

After making a web reservation, the ticket reception and boarding for the ferry and bus were smooth. The water buffalo was a good and cute one. If the weather had been nice, it would have been the best experience. Thank you very much.

WEB予約後、チケット受付もフェリーやバス乗車もスムーズ。水牛は良い子で可愛かったです。
天気が良ければ最高の体験でしたね。
ありがとうございまさした。

The weather was nice during the mangrove tour, and since we were on the first boat, there were no waves, and the water surface looked like a mirror, reflecting the trees beautifully. I was very moved and was able to take some stunning photos.

On the water buffalo cart, I enjoyed hearing stories about the water buffalo and the island from our guide, making the journey fun.

For lunch, I had local food, but it didn't quite suit my taste.

In Taketomi Island, we toured by bus, but the time was short and it felt rushed; I wished we had more time.

マングローブ遊覧で天気が良く先頭の船だったので、波も無く水面が鏡の様で木々が水面に映り、美しい写真が撮れてとても感動しました
水牛車は、ガイドさんから水牛や島の話しを聞き楽しく移動が出来ました
昼食は地元の物を食べれたがあまり口に合わなかった
竹富島ではバス観光で廻ったが、時間が短く忙しなくもっと時間が欲しかった

This time, I had a wonderful trip thanks to an amazing female guide. I appreciate her detailed guidance and consideration for my health, which helped me manage my condition perfectly.

The bus tour to the place was even more wonderful than I imagined, and it was very meaningful without any time loss.

If I had to wish for something, I would like to spend more time at the location, but I understand that the congestion on the way back is quite severe, so I am satisfied.

今回は素晴らしい女性のガイド様に出会えて大変素晴らしい旅になりました。
きめ細やかなご案内、時間の周知のおかげで、体調管理にも万全のご配慮をいただき感謝します。

想像以上に素晴らしい場所へのバスツアーは、
時間的なロスもなく、大変有意義でした。

欲を言えば、現地でゆっくり過ごしたいですが、
やはり帰路の混雑が凄いので、納得しております。

This tour is very time-efficient as it allows you to visit places that are not easily accessible by public transportation, and it also prepares everything for you, such as ticket purchases, without the need to wait in line.

なかなか、公共の交通機関ではいけない場所を効率的にまわれ、またチケット購入など並ぶ事なく準備していただけるこのツアーは大変時間的な効率も良いです。

It was very good. I understood the meeting place, but the vehicle on the day was not the Celulian Blue-wrapped bus that was mentioned as a landmark. The guide was calling out the names of the participants, but their voices were mostly drowned out by the noise of passing cars, which caused a delay in the participants' responses and made the gathering take longer than expected. The tour went smoothly, but there were some people who were late each time for the meeting. The guide was very kind and always had a lovely smile. The driver also drove safely, and I truly appreciate their hard work. It was a great trip. If I have the opportunity again, I will definitely use your services. Thank you very much.

とても良かったです。集合場所は分かりましたが当日の車両が、目印と書いてあった、セルリアンブルーさんのラッピングバスではなかったのと、ガイドさんはずっと参加者の名前を呼んでくれていましたが、通行している車の音にかき消されて、ほとんど聞こえなかったため参加者の反応が遅れ、集合に時間が掛かったように思います。ツアーは順調でしたが、集合時間に毎回遅れる方がいました。ガイドさんはとても親切で、いつも笑顔で素敵でした。ドライバーさんも安全運転で本当にお疲れ様でした。良い旅行になりました。また機会がありましたら利用させて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。

The guide was very good, but the lunch was the worst. The food was acceptable, but the rice was either too old or had been left out for too long; it was cold and hard, and it was terrible.

ガイドさんはとても良かったですが
お昼の食事が最悪でした。
料理は許せるが、お米が時間が経ち過ぎていたのか、冷たく、固くなっていて、最悪でした

We were pulled by a cute water buffalo, and the guide shared interesting and amusing stories about Taketomi Island. It was a wonderful experience where we could feel the flow of time on the island.

可愛い水牛に引っ張ってもらって、ガイドさんが竹富島の説明を面白おかしくお話してくれます。島の時の流れが感じられ、素敵な体験でした。

We took a walk around the village while receiving explanations! It was great to explore Taketomi Island and learn about its charm rather than just visiting as a tourist! Although it was unfortunately rainy, we still enjoyed the water buffalo!

説明をしてもらいながら集落を散歩しました！観光でくるより竹富島なら良さを知りながら回れたのでよかったです！あいにくの雨でしたが水牛は楽しめました！！

I was looking forward to the tour, but unfortunately, it rained...
Riding a bike in a poncho on Taketomi Island was tough.
Surprisingly, the bike tires got stuck in the sand.
However, the ride on the ox cart from Iriomote Island to Yufu was fun.
The water buffaloes were working hard.
Also, the bus driver's stories during the ride were entertaining.
Even with the bad weather, it was a tour that I enjoyed in its own way.
Thank you very much.

楽しみにしてたツアーですが、生憎の雨・・・。
竹富島では、ポンチョ着てのチャリは、しんどい。
意外に砂地にチャリのタイヤが取られる。
でも、西表島⇒由布の牛車は楽しかった。
水牛さんたちが頑張ってました。
また、移動のバスの運転手さんのお話が面白かったです。
天候が悪くてもそれはそれで楽しめたツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

After touring around Ishigaki Island, we were dropped off at the airport, so we scheduled our flight for the evening to participate. We were able to visit places that are difficult to explore on our own, such as the limestone caves and Kabira Bay. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and we had a wonderful time filled with laughter.

石垣島の島内を観光した後に空港で降ろしてもらえるので、飛行機の時間を夕方に設定して参加しました。
自分達で巡るのは困難な鍾乳洞、川平湾などを巡ることができました。
ガイドさんのお話が楽しく笑いっぱなしの素敵な時間でした。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since renting a car would be a waste for just one person, I joined a bus tour. The whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. At the café in front of the aquarium, you can enjoy a meal while watching the fish. I also opted for the steak full course, which was delicious.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、レンタカーは一人だともったいないのでバスツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館のジンベイサメは素晴らしかったです。水槽の前のカフェでは食事しながら魚がみれます。またステーキフルコース付きにしたので美味しかったです。

Our driver patiently waited for us at the port because our disembarkation from the cruise ship took longer than expected. They also called us to double check due to the delay. Highly recommend this service when visiting Miyakojima!
