All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

Unlike other tour companies, I booked here because they offered free pick-up, wetsuits, photo shooting, and towels. When I looked at the reviews, I noticed there were foreign guests, which made me a bit worried about my belongings, but on the day I participated, the Japanese and foreign guests were on separate boats. Additionally, they asked at the very first reception if I wanted to store my valuables, which was reassuring. It was a snorkeling tour with a small group plus a guide, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. They also provided explanations about the corals and fish, making it a fulfilling tour. I definitely want to use this tour again for snorkeling.

他のツアー会社と違い、無料で送迎、ウエットスーツ、写真撮影、タオルが付いていたのでこちらで予約しました。口コミを見ると外国の方もいるようだったので、荷物等心配かなと思いましたが、私が参加した日は日本人と外国の方は別の船でした。また、貴重品を預かるか一番最初の受付で聞いて下さり安心でした。少人数のグループ➕ガイドさんでのシュノーケルでしたが、海はとても綺麗でしたし、サンゴや魚の説明などもしてくれて充実のツアーでした。ぜひまたこのツアーを利用してシュノーケルをしたいです。

The snorkeling was of course fun, and the sea was beautiful. Sakura, who was in charge, not only explained about the fish and the blue cave but also shared various recommendations for restaurants, making the travel time enjoyable as well!

シュノーケルはもちろん楽しかったし、海も綺麗でした。担当してくださったさくらさんは魚や青の洞窟の説明だけでなく、おすすめのご飯屋さんなど色々な話をしてくださり、移動時間も楽しく過ごせたのがよかったです！

It was very convenient to go to the airport, the beach, and the island terminal. If you go a bit farther, you can quickly get your money's worth. When going to distant places, it's necessary to check the schedule. Sometimes there's a bus every hour, and other times the next one is two hours later... However, if you plan properly, you can travel far by bus, so I would like to use it again!

空港へ行ったり、ビーチに行ったり、離島ターミナルに行ったり、とても便利でした。少し遠くへ行く方はすぐ元が取れます。離れた場所に行く際は、時間の確認が必要です。1時間に一本だったり、その次が2時間後だったり…ただしっかり計画をされていれば、バスで遠くまで行けるので、また利用したいと思います！

There are quite a few ferries, so I think the connections from the airport to the island terminal and from the island terminal to each island ferry are perfect! Even if you have some free time, there are plenty of shops around the bus terminal, so you can easily pass the time!

それなりに本数があるので、空港→離島ターミナル、離島ターミナル→各離島フェリーへの接続もバッチリだと思います！万が一、時間が空いてもバスターミナルの周辺にお店がたくさんあるので、時間はいくらでも潰せます！

I love Okinawa and travel there several times a year, but this time I visited the Churaumi Aquarium for the first time in 30 years. The main attraction is, of course, the large tank of the Kuroshio Sea with the whale sharks. Standing in front of the tank, I felt as if I were underwater myself, like I had become part of the ocean. Even though it had been 30 years, I felt nostalgic, as I think I had the same thoughts back then. Compared to that time, there are now many more tourist attractions, but my belief that Okinawa means Churaumi Aquarium has not changed. It truly is a wonderful place.

沖縄が好きで年に何回か旅行していますが
今回は30年ぶりに美ら海水族館へ訪れました
やはりメインはジンベイザメのいる
黒潮の海の大水槽🐠水槽の前に立つと、まるで自分が海の中にいるような錯覚✨海の仲間になった気分です。30年ぶりだけど当時も同じ事を思っていた気がして懐かしさにもひたりました。当時に比べたら今では観光名所は沢山増えましたが沖縄といえば美ら海水族館☝️という私の思いは変わりませんでした。本当に良い場所です。

It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but the weather was great and the three locations offered completely different views, which was nice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any sea turtles this time. There were many participants, but the staff provided support while paying attention to safety.

久々のシュノーケリングでしたが、天気もよく3箇所全く違う景色で良かったです
今回はウミガメを見ることができなかったので残念です
参加者が多かったですがスタッフも安全に注意を払いながらサポートしてくれました

You need to show your free pass when getting on and off, but it's a hassle to take it out of your wallet every time, so I thought about what to do. As a result, I bought an affordable hard case from a 100 yen shop and started using it. It was convenient. I could make it a bit smaller, but I couldn't find a size that fits well, so I ended up with this one. This free pass is definitely convenient for going out into the city.

乗り降りの際にフリーパスを見せないといけないが、財布から毎度出し入れするのは面倒で、どうすればいいか考えました。その結果、100円ショップで手頃なハードケースを買ってきて使いました。便利でした。もう少し小さくしてもいいのですが、なかなか合うサイズに出会えず、これになりました。
街中へ出かけるにはやはりこのフリーパスは便利です。

I really appreciated that we could go to the Churaumi Aquarium on a one-day bus tour without needing a rental car!

The guide had a wealth of knowledge, and it was enjoyable to listen to them.

1日のバスツアーで、レンタカー無しで美ら海水族館までいけるのがとても良かったです！

ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、聞いていて楽しかったです。

The weather was nice, and the sea was calm, which felt great. The guide constantly checked on our condition, which made us feel very safe. It was great that they led us even though I couldn't swim. I was able to spend time pleasantly with the other participants in the tour, and it truly became a wonderful experience. Thank you very much!

天気も良く海も穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが始終、私達の状態を見てくれて、とても安心出来ました。泳げなくてもずっと引率してくれてよかったです。
ツアーの参加した他の方々とも雰囲気よく時間過ごせて、本当に素敵な体験になりました。ありがとうございました！

I was happy to see sea turtles in their natural habitat in the ocean♥️ The turtles were sleeping, but next time I want to see them swimming🫶

海亀は自然な生き物のため海で見ることができて幸せでした♥️
亀さんは眠っていましたが、次回は泳いでいる亀さんに会いたいです🫶

The tour guide was incredibly kind and very attentive. I would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa, especially families with children! ☺️💖

I felt that the time spent at Nago Pineapple Park was a bit insufficient. It might not be recommended for those who want to take their time, especially if you want to ride the bus at Nago Pineapple Park, as there isn't much time for that here. 😣💦

However, everything else was very enjoyable, so I am very satisfied!

ツアーガイドの方はすごく優しい方で対応も丁寧でした。沖縄に来て観光を楽しめたい方に進めたい!!特に子供連れの家族の皆さんに☺️💖
ナゴパイナップルパークでの時間は少し物足り足りないと感じました。ゆっくりみたい人には進めないかも、特にナゴパイナップルパークのバス(？)に乗りたい方はこちらだと時間が少ないのでオススメしません😣💦
でもその他はとても楽しめたので大満足です!!

We were able to board before our reserved time because we arrived early. I was surprised by the large coral and was very satisfied to see so many cute turtles! 🫢

早目に到着したため予約時間前に乗船させていただけました
大きな花珊瑚にびっくり🫢かわいい亀にもたくさん会えて満足でした

Snorkeling was my first experience, but I felt safe because we acted as a group. There were many colorful fish among the coral, and I could swim while being soothed by the scenery. I was also able to spot a clownfish! ♪

シュノーケリングは初めての体験でしたが、グループでまとまって行動するので安心でした。珊瑚には色とりどりの魚がたくさんいて癒されながら泳げます。カクレクマノミも発見できました♪

During our cruise stop in Naha, we rented a large taxi for 9 people for 8 hours from 09:00 to 17:00, with 7 passengers. Since each of the 7 had different places they wanted to go, we followed the course outlined below. We started from the port and went to American Village (where 4 people got off) ⇒ picked up 3 people and headed to the Churaumi Aquarium (3 hours there is sufficient) ⇒ returned to American Village where the aquarium group of 3 spent 1 hour ⇒ the American Village group of 4 went to a nearby market to look for things they wanted ⇒ during this time, the taxi returned to American Village to pick up the 3 people ⇒ came back to the market to pick up the remaining people ⇒ and then returned to the port. This route allowed us to fully utilize the 8 hours, visiting multiple locations and fulfilling various wishes. By frequently communicating via LINE among the 7 of us, we could keep track of our current locations, estimated arrival times, and next actions, making it very efficient.

クルーズの那覇停泊中に9人乗り大型タクシーを7人で09：00ｰ17：00まで8時間貸し切り。7人中行きたいところが違うので下記コースを辿りました。港からアメリカンビレッジ（ここで4人降りる）⇒3人を乗せて美ら海水族館へ（現地3時間で十分）⇒アメリカンビレッジに戻り水族館組3人はココで1時間過ごす⇒アメリカンビレッジ組4人は近くの市場へ買いたいものを探しに⇒この間タクシーはアメリカンビレッジに戻って3人をピックアップ⇒市場に戻って来て残りの人をピックアップ⇒港に戻る。このようなコース取りで8時間フルに複数の場所、複数の希望を叶えました。7人で頻繁にライン通信することで、現在居場所、到着予定時刻、次の行動など、つぶさに連絡が取れるので、非常に効率的です。　

It was disappointing that the glass boat at Kabira Bay, which I was looking forward to the most, was suspended due to the approaching typhoon. However, despite the busy weather changing from cloudy to rainy to sunny, the guide's explanations were clear, and I was able to learn a bit about Ishigaki Island and thoroughly enjoy my time there.

I also enjoyed a delicious hamburger lunch. Although I need a cane and couldn't have managed the limestone cave on my own, I was able to go thanks to the support I received.

台風接近中で一番の楽しみの川平湾のグラスボートが運休で残念でしたが、お天気は曇り→雨→晴れと忙しいお空の中、ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、少し石垣島のことを知れて充分に楽しめました。
昼食のハンバーグランチも美味しくいただきました。
杖が必要な私ですが、ひとりでは鍾乳洞は無理でしたが、サポートがあったのでなんとか鍾乳洞に行くことができました。

Since it was my first time in the southern part of Okinawa, I was able to efficiently visit Peace Memorial Park, Sefa Utaki, and Okinawa World. The driver was pleasant, but I think it would have been even better if there had been a bit more detailed guidance about each location.

沖縄南部は初めてだったので、平和記念公園、斎場御嶽、沖縄ワールドを効率よく回ってもらいました。
感じの良いドライバーさんでしたが、もう少し詳しい各地の案内が有れば尚良かったかなと思います。

I had a reservation for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to the typhoon, it was changed to canoeing in the mangrove river. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. It started pouring rain along the way, but that was fun in its own way.

青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予約していましたが台風の影響でマングローブの川でカヌーに変更になりました。ガイドさんはいろいろ説明してくれて親切でした。途中で土砂降りになりましたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。

I enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave beach and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the mangrove river. The guides were very kind and taught us well. I was able to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was my first experience with SUP, but I managed to stand up and paddle. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

青の洞窟の海岸でシュノーケルとマングローブの川でSUPを楽しみました。ガイドの方達はとても親切に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルではキレイな魚を見れました。
SUPは初体験でしたが、なんとか立って漕ぐことができました。良い経験をさせていただいて、ありがとうございました。

This time, I purchased the "Michikusa Free Pass," which allows unlimited rides on all Toei Bus routes. I was able to buy it just before the 5-day pass sales ended, but it seems that only the 3-day pass will be available in the future. Therefore, if you plan to stay longer, you'll need to carefully plan the days you want to use the bus and the places you want to visit.

The exchange process was very smooth. After arriving at Ishigaki Airport, I was able to get assistance right away on the bus I boarded from the airport. There was no need to go to the ticket counter, and I could start using it immediately after arriving, which was very convenient.

I think this pass is very practical for those who do not rent a car or want to travel around the island by bus. It reduces the hassle of checking fares and preparing coins each time, making it easier to create a flexible itinerary.

今回は、東バス全路線が乗り放題になる「みちくさフリーパス」を購入しました。ちょうど5日間パスの販売終了前に購入できましたが、今後は3日間パスのみになるようなので、長めの滞在の場合は、バスを利用する日程や行きたい場所をより慎重に計画する必要があると感じました。

引き換えはとてもスムーズで、石垣空港に到着後、空港から乗った路線バスの車内ですぐに対応してもらえました。わざわざ窓口に行く必要がなく、到着直後でも使い始められるので、とても便利でした。

レンタカーを利用しない方や、島内をバスで移動したい方には、とても実用的なパスだと思います。毎回運賃を確認したり小銭を用意したりする手間も減り、旅程を柔軟に組みやすくなりました。

Just by saying "Beltora free pass," the driver understands right away, which is really helpful! You can just show it to get on and off, so it's really convenient!

ベルトラのフリーパスお願いしますと伝えるだけで、運転手さんもすぐわかってくれるのでありがたいです！
見せるだけで乗り降りできるので、本当に楽です！

This plan includes transportation, boat transfers, and rental of wear, equipment, and tanks all in one.

At the Miejyo Port waiting room, there are coin lockers available, but the number is limited. After arriving, you will check in (fill out a checklist and confirm your license) and immediately put on your wetsuit.

Participants will experience various plans together, with around 40 people, including many foreign tourists (from Europe, America, and East Asia). After about an hour, we arrived at the Kerama Islands, and diving began right away.

Since it had been a while since my last dive, I was nervous and struggled to breathe properly, but thanks to the staff's precise instructions (getting used to breathing with my face in the water and switching to an introductory diving course), I was eventually able to calm down. When I accidentally floated to the surface due to a mistake in handling my equipment, they clearly communicated that "that operation is not allowed" (I appreciate their focus on safety, and they were friendly during breaks).

On the second dive, I was able to dive calmly and enjoy the sensation of floating in the light blue waters under slightly cloudy weather, swimming alongside subtropical corals, fish, and sea turtles. I never tire of watching the fish and turtles. I would love to participate on a sunny day as well.

During the activity, there were several staff members monitoring safety on the surface and at least one on the second deck of the boat. They ensured safety checks regarding the number of people before and after boat transfers, and the supervision and guidance from the younger staff contributed to a high level of safety awareness, making me feel that this diving shop is very reliable.

The overall flow involved a second dive at a different location after the first, followed by a lunch break (the staff mentioned they usually serve curry), and then a third activity at another location. Most participants opted for the three-dive course.

I originally signed up for the two-dive course, so while others were doing their third dive, I took the opportunity to use the warm shower (just to rinse off) and change clothes and tidy up.

After returning to Miejyo Port in Naha, there was no logbook to fill out, and we simply disbanded. Additionally, there are several hotels nearby where you can enjoy day-use baths.

送迎・船の移動・ウェア&器材&タンクレンタル全て込みのプランです。

三重城港待合室にはコインロッカーありますが、数は少ないです。到着後、受付（チェックシート記入、ライセンス確認）後、その場ですぐウェットスーツを着用します。

参加者は様々な体験プラン一緒に、外国人観光客（欧米&東アジア系）多めで約40名ほど。1時間弱で慶良間諸島に到着後、すぐにダイビングが始まりました。

私は久々のダイビングのため、緊張で呼吸が上手くできなくなりましたが、スタッフさんの的確な指示（水に顔をつけて呼吸に慣れる、体験ダイビングコースへの変更）で、やがて落ち着くことができました。私の機材操作ミスで身体が海面まで浮き上がった時は、「その操作はしてはダメ」な旨、明確に伝えられました（安全重視の姿勢に感謝します、休憩中はフレンドリーな対応でした）。

2回目は落ち着いてファンダイビングでき、薄曇りの天気の中、淡い青色の海中で浮遊感を楽しみつつ、亜熱帯の珊瑚やお魚、そしてウミガメと一緒に泳ぎました。魚やウミガメの様子は見飽きません。晴天の日にもぜひ参加したいです。

アクティビティ中は、海面に数名&船上2階に少なくとも1名のスタッフさんが安全監視していました。船の移動前後の人数&安全確認、若手スタッフさんの監督指導など、アクティビティ以外の部分も含め、安全意識が高く、非常に信頼できるダイビングショップだと感じました。

全体の流れは1回目の後、場所を変えて2回目、昼食休憩（スタッフさん曰く、いつもカレー）を経て、場所を変えて3回目のアクティビティとなります。ほとんどの方が3回コースでした。

私は元々2回コースだったので、他の方が3回目をしていて空いているうちに、温水シャワー（体の表面を流す程度）や着替え、片付けをしました。

那覇の三重城港に戻り、ログ付けはなく、そのまま解散になります。なお、三重城近隣には、日帰り入浴可能なホテルが複数あります。

I got off at the Chojin no Haka bus stop, which I had been curious about for a while. Nearby, there is the Kannonzaki Lighthouse, and the sea looked beautiful. I was lucky to see the blue sky after dodging the typhoon.

前々から気になっていた唐人の墓バス停で下車してみました。近くには観音崎灯台もあり海が綺麗に見えました。
台風をすり抜けて青空が見えてラッキーでした。

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour. Both activities took place in the rain, but the timing for the SUP was particularly heavy downpour. However, thanks to the guide's thorough lectures and explanations, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

シュノーケリングとサップのツアーに参加させていただきました。
両方とも雨天の中の催行でしたが、特にサップのタイミングはなかなかの土砂降り。
でも、ガイドさんの丁寧なレクチャーと説明で、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました！

After entering the Blue Cave, I went snorkeling over the coral. The weather was nice, and the Blue Cave looked beautiful, which was great.

青の洞窟の中に入ったあと、珊瑚の上をシュノーケリングしました。天気も良く、青の洞窟が綺麗に見えて、良かったです。

Even in the rain, the mangrove canoeing became the best memory! 🛶☔️ Paddling in sync with my friends, I felt excited every time we passed through the mangrove tunnels! It felt just like being part of an expedition.

During the blue cave snorkeling, the sun miraculously came out, and it was so moving! ✨ I was able to see the coral reefs and cute fish up close, and I truly had a wonderful time. 🐠💙

It ended in the blink of an eye, and I had so much fun that I thought, "I want to swim more!" 🏝️

雨でも最高の思い出になったマングローブカヌー🛶☔️
友達と息を合わせて漕ぎ、マングローブのトンネルを抜けるたびにワクワク！まるで探検隊になった気分でした。

青の洞窟シュノーケルでは、奇跡的に太陽が出てくれて感動✨
珊瑚礁や可愛い魚たちを間近で見ることができて、本当に幸せな時間を過ごすことができました🐠💙

あっという間に終わってしまって、「もっと泳いでいたい！」と思うほど楽しかったです🏝️

The guide's extensive knowledge and the recent sighting of sea turtles made for a wonderful memory! Thank you!

ガイドさんのたくさんの知識と、直近でウミガメが見れてとてもいい思い出になりました！ありがとうございます！

Due to the impact of the typhoon, diving was canceled the day before, but I received a message saying that snorkeling in the shallow waters was still an option. Since it was a great opportunity, I decided to participate in snorkeling. In the end, the weather held up, and I was taken to the Blue Cave with my snorkel gear! It was truly beautiful and moving! On the contrary, it was lucky that the cave wasn't crowded. The staff member provided a lot of explanations and was very attentive, which made me very satisfied. Thank you so much!!!

台風の影響で、前日にダイビングは中止になってしまいましたが浅瀬でシュノーケリングならとご連絡をいただいていました。
せっかくだしシュノーケリングで参加することにしました。
結果的に天気も崩れず、シュノーケルで青の洞窟まで連れて行っていただきました！！
本当にキレイで感動しました！！
逆に洞窟内が混んでいなくてラッキーでした。
お姉さんもたくさん説明してくれたり
丁寧に対応してくださり大満足でした。
ありがとうございました！！！

The tour guide was really nice, and I had a great time. Last time, we had a plan to go to American Beverage, so this time I chose Pineapple Park. Just like last time, we were able to visit various places, and the price was affordable, making it an amazing day. Thank you very much.

添乗員さんもすごく良い人で楽しく過ごせました。
前回はアメリカンビバレッジに行くプランだったので今回はパイナップルパークにしました。
前回同様に色んな所に行けて値段も安くて最高な１日でした。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in snorkeling for the first time, and I was able to enjoy it without any worries because I received thorough instructions! The Blue Cave was beautiful, and there were plenty of fish and stunning corals further out! If you're going to snorkel in Ishigaki, I highly recommend this tour!

初めてシュノーケル参加させていだだいたんですが丁寧にレクチャーしてもらったので不安なく楽しめました！青の洞窟も綺麗で沖の方は魚もいっぱいいてサンゴもとても綺麗でした！石垣でシュノーケルするならこのツアーとてもおすすめです！

We participated with three people, including a child✨. We were able to swim with turtles, and most importantly, the child was very happy❤️. The instructor, Kouki, was very polite and kind, which was fantastic👏👏. Thank you, Takahashi-san, for teaching us various things✨✨😊. I will definitely make a reservation with Veltra again next year😇.

子供と３人での参加でした✨
亀とも泳げ、何より子供が喜んでました❤️
インストラクターのこうき君もとっても丁寧で優しく最高でした👏👏
高橋さんにも色々教えて頂きありがとう御座いました✨✨😊
又是非来年もベルトラさんで予約します😇
