All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

Due to the season and the impact of the typhoon, we couldn't go to the caves, but we went snorkeling at the beach. The waves were calm, and we were able to enjoy it safely! The tour guide was very cheerful, and the small group size was great. I would like to participate in this tour again when I come back.

時期もあり、台風の影響で洞窟にはいけなかったのですが、ビーチでシュノーケルをしました。波も穏やかで安全に楽しめました！ツアーの方もとても明るく少人数制で良かったです。また来た際にはここのツアーに参加したいと思いました。

This is a great option for those who do not have cars, but still want to see the Okinawan sites. This is a great alternative to get around, although the time at each place was tight and we couldn't spend as much time at each location as we wanted, we had a lot of fun following along the tour. Everyone on the tour was also very nice and accommodating.

This was really my best Okinawa experience so far.
They took us on a boat to three different diving locations towards Zamami island which was already a very scenic boat ride and at the diving locations everybody could snorkel as much as they wanted. You can book extra scuba diving trips, which I would definitely recommend. We saw lots of marine life with a highlight being a few sea turtles at the end.
The guides took very nice pictures underwater and on the boat, which could be downloaded afterwards, so even without waterproof cameras you will get nice pictures of yourself.
It is perfect for absolute beginners, the instructors took really good care of us and made the scuba diving very easy. I would definitely recommend the trip for people that want to scuba dive but don't have any experience and who can spend a whole day for the activity.

That was my second time Snorkeling~~~
Fantastic and Wonderful experiences.
Also nice and kind staff.
I will definately use this program again.

We participated as a family of six, including four children ranging from elementary to high school. There were just under 30 people in total on the trip. We traveled on the same boat as those doing fun diving, but they made sure to cover the snorkeling points well, so there was no issue with it being too deep, as mentioned in other comments. All the staff were very kind, maintaining a good balance of being present when needed and giving us space, which allowed us to enjoy our time comfortably. They took many photos for us, creating wonderful memories. Additionally, they seemed to know the best spots for turtle sightings, as we encountered three turtles and were able to swim with them. It was truly moving. Thank you to A-san and all the staff who took care of us that day. I definitely want to repeat this experience on our next Kerama tour. Thank you very much.

家族6名、小学生〜高校生の4人の子供と参加しました。
全体では、30名弱で出発。
ファンダイビングの方と同じ船で移動でしたが、シュノーケルのポイントもしっかりと押さえてくれているので、ほかコメントにあったような、深すぎるという事はありませんでした。
スタッフさんがどなたも皆さんとても親切で、付かず離れず、必要な時にさりげなく声がけしてくれたり、終始気持ちよく過ごす事ができました。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、良い思い出となりました。また、亀の出現ポイントをしっかり把握されているのか、3匹と遭遇、一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。とても感動しました。
担当してくださったスタッフのAさん始め、当日のスタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました。
次回、慶良間ツアーの際も必ずこちらにリピートしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The day I had a reservation was rainy, so I was able to switch it to the next day. I was a bit worried about the weather the following day as well, but it turned out to be sunny, which was great. The staff's response was also polite. And the sea at Abaren Beach is amazing! I would love to repeat this experience if I get the chance!

予約した日が雨だったので
次の日と入れ替えていただきました。
翌日も最初は天気のほう少し心配しましたが、
晴れだったのでよかったです。
スタッフの対応も丁寧でした。
そして阿波連ビーチの海最高です！
またチャンスあればリピしたいです！

The sightseeing was as I expected. The guide was the only male, but he was a nice person. However, it was a bit disappointing that his speech seemed to be memorized and delivered in a monotonous tone, making it hard to understand, and his voice wasn't very clear. The driver was also pleasant. The meals were good, but they felt like standard set meals that you could find anywhere. They were better than bento boxes. The scenery at Kabira Bay changes with the weather. It might be amazing when the weather is nice.

観光は思って通りでした。
ガイドさんは唯一の男の方でしたが 感じいい方です。ただ喋りが 暗記されたことを 何度もしゃべっているためか、一辺倒のイントネーションで伝わりにくく 声も通らずで聞きずらいのが残念でした。
運転手さんも感じよかったですね。お食事は美味しいというか どこでも食べれる感じの定食です。
お弁当とかよりいいです。
川平湾はお天気で風景が変わりますね。お天気だと最高かも。

My sister and I participated on our way back from Miyako Island. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the cave due to the typhoon's impact, but we were satisfied to see many fish. The conversation with the instructor, Ayumu, was enjoyable, and time flew by. They also told us about a wetsuit shop, and we got one to take home. Thank you very much!

姉と2人で宮古島の帰りに参加しました。あいにく台風の影響で洞窟には行けませんでしたがたくさんの魚を見る事ができて満足しています。インストラクターの歩君との会話も楽しくあっという間に時間が過ぎていました。ウェットスーツのお店も教えて頂きゲットして帰りました。有難うございました。

I participated in the same course two years ago, and it was so good that I decided to repeat it. It was indeed great again. It's more efficient and cheaper than going on my own. Additionally, the kindness of the guides and drivers is remarkable. It's not just about transportation; there are plenty of stories to learn from, making it educational as well. Thank you very much.

一昨年に、同じコースに参加し、とても良かったのでリピートです。
やはり良かったです。
自力で回るより効率的で、尚且つ安い。それにくわえて、ガイド、運転手の方々の親切。ただの移動でなくお話しも盛りだくさんなので勉強にもなります。ありがとうございました。

Thank you, Abukawa-san, for the fun experience. The staff is full of handsome guys, so please upload that photo to Instagram!

スタッフイケメンさんが多いからその写真もインスタアップしてって娘たち笑楽しい体験を虻川さんありがとう

I have visited Okinawa countless times, but this is my first time on Tokashiki Island★

Since it's summer vacation, the high-speed liner departing from Tomari Port was already fully booked. I really wanted to go, so while searching, I found this option.

As a result, this option includes lunch, has just the right timing, and allows for a short travel time, making it a great deal.

And as for the sea…
We were blessed with good weather, revealing a beautiful blue world like I've never seen before! Absolutely stunning! I was so excited!

However, at Aharen Beach, the supervision is very strict, and snorkeling without a life jacket is prohibited!!

I wanted to go skin diving, so Aharen Beach wasn't suitable for me, and I played at Hanari Island★
The transfer between Aharen and Hanari Island took about 5 minutes by banana boat. It was my first time moving between islands by banana boat, and it was so much fun!

During the bus ride, we enjoyed the ride without getting bored thanks to the brother's explanations about the island!

Next time, I definitely want to stay on the island overnight!
In fact, I want to go right away!!

I highly recommend it★★★

沖縄へは数え切れないぐらい来ていますが、今回は初めての渡嘉敷島★

夏休みということもあり、泊港から出発の高速ライナーが既に予約は満席。
どうしても行きたかったので、探していたところこちらを見つけました。

結果、こちらはランチもついて、丁度良い時間、かつ短時間で移動できるので、とってもお得です。

そして海はと言うと…
お天気に恵まれ、見たことない綺麗なブルーの世界！文句なしの美しさ！大興奮でした！

ただ阿波連ビーチは監視がとても厳しく、ライフジャケットなしのシュノーケリングは禁止！！

スキンダイビングをしたかったので、阿波連ビーチは合わず、ハナリ島で遊びました★
阿波連⇄ハナリ島は、バナナボートで5分程度の移動。
島移動がバナナボートなのも、初めてでとても楽しかったです！

そしてバス移動中の車内は、お兄さんの島説明で飽きることなく楽しめました！

今度は必ず島に一泊したい！
なんならすぐに行きたい！！

本当におススメです★★★

The guide was kind and provided detailed introductions, making for a wonderful day! The aquarium was very beautiful, with the sea displaying various colors like blue and green, it was stunning.

ガイドさんはやさしい、詳しい紹介される、素晴らしい一日過ぎました！水族館はすごく綺麗、海も青色、緑など色な色があります、綺麗

The instructors were excellent and experienced. The dives were very smooth and the entire family had fun. The only small issue I have is that she of the photos were taken using lower quality cameras so they were a little blurry. Despite this, there were multiple high quality photos that we are pleased with

The optional tours for the cruise were expensive, so I booked a local tour directly through VELTRA. It was about half the price of similar tours on the ship, making it a great deal. I definitely recommend it for Japanese travelers. However, there is a risk that the ship may not arrive as scheduled. In our case, we arrived 30 minutes late and missed the tour, but we took a taxi and joined the tour midway. The taxi driver was kind and provided us with sightseeing information. Experiences like this are part of the joy of traveling!

クルーズのオプショナルツアーが高いので、現地ツアーをVELTRA経由で直接予約した。船の中の同じようなツアーの半額程度と格安。日本人には絶対お勧め。ただし、船が予定通り着かないケースがあり、これがリスク。我々の場合も予定より到着が30分遅れツアーに間に合わなかったが、タクシーで追いかけ途中から合流した。タクシーの運転手さんが親切で、観光案内をしてくれた。こんなことも旅の醍醐味でしょう！

I participated in this tour alone. After about a 50-minute ride on a charter boat, a microbus was waiting to take us to Tokashiku Beach. It took about 10 minutes from there to reach the resort hotel by the beach.

The weather was fantastic that day, and as I walked through the hotel lobby, the beautiful Kerama Blue sea awaited me! In the swimming area, there is no requirement to wear life jackets, so you can swim freely. There were several sea turtles right near the boundary of the swimming area. They seemed accustomed to humans and didn't try to escape (please don't try to touch them).

The beach is shallow, and adults can stand in the swimming area. Unfortunately, I didn't see any coral, but there were clownfish near the rocky areas. I also spotted a large fish (a Taman) about 50 centimeters long. The sea was incredibly beautiful, like swimming in emerald jelly.

For lunch, we had curry, beef bowl, and Okinawa soba, and I chose the curry. Eating curry at a seaside terrace was very delicious. Since there was nothing around the hotel, no other tourists came, and even during summer vacation, it was not crowded, allowing for a relaxing time.

今回のツアーには一人で参加しました。チャーター船で約50分、到着するとトカシクビーチ行きのマイクロバスが待っていました。そこから約10分ほどでビーチのあるリゾートホテルに着きました。
この日はすごく天気が良く、ホテルのロビーを抜けると慶良間ブルーの海が待っていました！
遊泳区域内はライフジャケットの着用義務がないので気軽に泳げます。ウミガメはちょうど遊泳区域の境界線のあたりに何頭もいました。人間になれているのかあまり逃げようとしません（触ろうとしないように）
またビーチは遠浅で遊泳区域内は大人なら立つことができます。残念ながらサンゴは見当たりませんが、岩のある所にはカクレクマノミがいます。
また50センチほどの大きな魚（タマン）がいました。海はとにかく綺麗で、エメラルドのゼリーの中を泳いでいるみたいです。
ランチはカレー、牛丼、沖縄ソバで、私はカレーにしました。海辺のテラス席で食べるカレーはとても美味しかったです。ホテルの周りには何もないのでほかの観光客が来ることもなく、夏休みのビーチでも空いていたので、のんびり過ごせました。

Although I have some experience with snorkeling, I think this was the first time I encountered such beautiful marine blue waters. Both my child and I were continuously amazed and excited; the slightly high waves didn't bother us at all as we immersed ourselves in the sea (laughs).

At first, my son was anxious and wore a life jacket, but during our second snorkeling session, he challenged himself with just a wetsuit. He seemed to have a lot of fun. Thanks to the instructor's wonderful smile and friendly demeanor, my younger child also had a fantastic time filled with smiles.

It was also thanks to the instructor's encouragement that my timid children were able to try the slide! It was truly a day filled with many wonderful experiences. Thank you very much.

I hope to challenge myself with another experience that we couldn't do this time on our next opportunity.

シュノーケリングは何度か経験あるものの、ここまできれいなマリンブルーは初めてだったように思います。
親子ともども感動と興奮の連続、波が少し高かったのも気にならないくらい海の中に没頭しました（笑）

はじめは不安でライフジャケットを着ていた息子も、2回目のシュノーケリングの時はウェットスーツだけでの挑戦。
とっても楽しかったみたいです。
そしてインストラクターさんの素敵な笑顔と気さくな対応のおかげで、下の子も笑顔の絶えない素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。

怖がりなうちの子供たちが滑り台にチャレンジできたのも、インストラクターさんの後押しのおかげです！
本当にたくさんの素敵な経験ができた一日でした。
ほんとうにありがとうございました。

次の機会には今回できなかった別の体験にチャレンジできたらいいなとおもいます。

The staff were all kind and taught us with great care. It became the best memory of Okinawa. I would like to participate again.

スタッフの方々、皆さん親切、丁寧に教えてくれました。沖縄の最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思いました。

I participated in a lunch-inclusive tour to Awa Island Beach, and it was really great! The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many cute fish while snorkeling. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Okinawa!

ランチ付き阿波連ビーチツアーに参加しましたが、本当に良かったです！海も凄く綺麗でシュノーケリングでたくさん可愛いお魚を見る事ができました。
沖縄旅行に行く時はまた必ず訪れたいと思います！

The Blue Cave was really crowded, and we had to wait in line, but the guide made sure we could experience it before a long queue formed, so we were able to take photos at a great spot without waiting at all. After leaving the Blue Cave, we also had fun feeding the fish.

I highly recommend the kayaking with the drone photography plan! You can get photos that look like they belong in a magazine. The sea where we experienced kayaking was incredibly beautiful! We visited several beaches on this trip, but I think this one was the prettiest.

The guide was very friendly, and my daughter quickly warmed up to him. It was fun to hear about the games children play in Okinawa. I'm currently practicing the easy bubble ring technique he taught us in the bath♪

It was the best experience. I would love to do it again next time!

青の洞窟はすごくたくさん人がいて順番待ちになりましたが、長蛇の列ができる前に体験できるようにガイドさんが配慮してくれたので全然並ばずにいいスポットで撮影してもらうことができました。青の洞窟から出た後は、魚の餌やりもできて楽しかったです。
カヤックはドローンの撮影プランがおすすめです！まるで雑誌に載っているような写真を撮ってもらえます。カヤックを体験した海はめちゃくちゃキレイです！今回の旅行でいくつかビーチに行きましたが、ここが一番きれいだったと思います。
ガイドさんはとても気さくな方で娘もすぐになついていました。沖縄の子どもの遊びの話なども聞けて楽しかったです。教えてもらったお手軽バブルリングはお風呂で練習中です♪
最高の体験でした。次回もお願いしたいです！

I came to Ishigaki Island without any plans at all. I saw people doing SAP at the observation deck in Kabira Bay, so I looked for companies that could offer it today and found this plan. The weather was great, so the photos turned out beautifully! I really had a wonderful day.

全く計画をせずに石垣島に来てしまいました。
川平湾の展望台でやりたかったSAPをしているのを見たので今日できる会社さんはあるか調べたらこちらのプランにたどり着きました。
天気も良かったので写真も映え映え！
本当に幸せな1日を過ごせました。

I was taken to Tokashiku Beach. I was very satisfied as I got to see sea turtles. It was a very hot day, so I needed quite a bit of cash for renting umbrellas, snorkeling sets, and coin lockers. It takes about an hour by boat, so it was reassuring to take motion sickness medication!

トカシクビーチの方に連れて行って頂きました。
ウミガメも見れて大満足でした。
とても暑い日だったのでパラソルのレンタル、シュノーケルセットのレンタル、コインロッカーなど現金が割と必要でした。
船で１時間ほどはかかるので、酔い止めは飲んでおくと安心でした！

I took motion sickness medication before the trip. The boat didn't sway much, and the sea breeze felt nice, so I think I wouldn't have gotten seasick even without the medication. The spot we arrived at had a beautiful, clear sea, so I highly recommend it. It's especially great for those who are snorkeling for the first time. Personally, I chose this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles, so I feel a bit unsatisfied, but that's just the luck of the draw.

酔い止めを飲んで臨みました。
船はそんなに揺れなかったし、海風も気持ちよかったので、酔い止めなしでも酔わなかったと思います。
ついたポイントは透き通ったキレイな海だったのでそこはオススメです。シュノーケリング初めてのひとに特にオススメです。
私的には今回このツアーを選んだのはウミガメに会いたかったからなので、少し物足りない気持ちもありますがこれは運なので仕方ないですね。

Snorkeling in the Blue Cave was amazing, with lots of different fish and many highlights to see.

I was excited to swim in a place close to the ocean, not just a beach, but I felt safe because we had a guide since I couldn't go alone. During the tour, the guide shared information about Okinawa, making it a wonderful travel memory.

青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングは色んなお魚がいて、見どころがたくさんありました。

海水浴場じゃないすぐ海に近い場所を泳げてドキドキしましたが1人じゃいけないのでガイドさんがいてくれて安心できました。
ツアー中は沖縄のこととかをガイドさんが教えてくれていい旅行の思い出になりました。

For my boyfriend's birthday, I was surprised by so many things, especially since I'm not usually an outdoor person! When I actually visited the Blue Cave, I found that the shallow sea was quite expansive, and there were many experiences that you can only understand by trying them out. The stand-up paddleboarding was designed for people who aren't used to outdoor activities, and with tips from my boyfriend and the guide, I was able to stand up on the board. By the end, we became friendly enough to take a photo together with the guide, which made for the best memories.

彼氏の誕生日で普段アウトドアをしない私にはアッと驚かされる内容ばかりでした！
青の洞窟は実際に行ってみると、浅い海が結構広がっていたり、体験しないとわからないことが目白押しでした。
サップはアウトドアに慣れていない人でも乗れるようになっていて、彼氏とガイドさんにコツを教えてもらい立てるようになりました。
最後はガイドさんと三人で写真を取るくらいまで仲良くなれて最高の思い出になりました。

Kawahirawan is shallower than I expected, so even if you fall off the SUP, you won't drown! We challenged ourselves with a tandem ride and fell off several times, but it was fine!! I was worried about the blue cave since my companion isn't a strong swimmer, but we were able to proceed slowly and safely reached our destination. In the end, we took a little break at a slightly cold waterfall to rinse off the seawater before the tour ended. The fruit juice shop we recommended after was delicious!

川平湾は思ったより浅いのでSUPが万が一転倒しても溺れることはないです！私たちは二人乗りで挑戦して何度も落ちましたが、大丈夫でした！！泳ぎが苦手な彼が心配だった青の洞窟も、ゆっくり進んでいただけたので目的地まで無事いけました。最後は海水を落とすために少し冷たい滝のところでプカプカ休憩してツアーが終わりました。終わった後のオススメの果物ジュース屋美味しかった〜！

The day before, the wind was strong, and I was worried, but thanks to Ishigaki Island's unpredictable weather, it was cloudy on the day of the trip, yet the wind was calm.

I learned that the Blue Cave is popular, and while searching for it, I found that Pipi was the most popular shop, so I chose this plan.

While I was in the Blue Cave, the sun peeked out for a moment, and it left a strong impression on me how beautiful the cave became. I also got to try stand-up paddleboarding in the sea, which was fun as I could explore various places on my own.

前日まで風がつよくて、心配しましたが石垣島の天気の変わりやすさに助けられて当日は曇ってはいましたが風は穏やかでした。
青の洞窟が人気だと知って探していたらピピさんが一番人気のショップだったのでこちらのプランにしました。

青の洞窟にいるときに少しだけ太陽が見えて、洞窟の中がきれいになったのが印象に残りました。
海でサップもできて自分で色んな所に行けて面白かったです。

I participated in the Blue Cave, and my friend wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The weather was great at the Blue Cave, and the swimming area inside the cave was very beautiful. It was my friend's first time snorkeling, and we were able to see a large ray, which made our swimming experience enjoyable. The breeze during the SUP was refreshing, and the sea was beautiful, so we were happy that our guide took many photos of us.

私は青の洞窟、友人はSUPに乗りたくて参加しました。
青の洞窟は天気が良くて、洞窟の中にある泳げる場所がとてもきれいでした。
友人はシュノーケル初めてでしたが、大きなエイにも会えて2人で楽しんで泳げました。
サップは風が気持ちよくて、海もきれいだったのでガイドさんが私達の写真をたくさん撮ってくれて嬉しかったです。

I visited the Blue Cave a few years ago, but the weather wasn't very good at that time, so I thought I would like to come back someday. Honestly, I thought it wouldn't be much different from before, but when the sun came out, the blue of the sea was incredibly beautiful, so I'm glad I came. I also got to see some cute clownfish. Due to the unpredictable weather, I couldn't go to Kabira Bay, but the alternative mangrove canoeing was amazing!

青の洞窟は数年前に行ったのですが、そのときはあまり天気が良くなくいつかまた来たいと思い参加しました。
正直、以前と大して変わらないだろうと思っていましたが晴れると海の青さが段違いに良くなったので来てよかったです。
かわいいクマノミにも会えました。
天候不順で川平湾は行けなかったですが、代替のマングローブカヌーも最&高でした！

I wanted to come with a friend, but our schedules didn't match, so I participated alone. I was looking forward to seeing clownfish in the Blue Cave. When I got to the beach, the blue of the sea and the white of the sand exceeded my expectations and moved me. It's been a few years since I last went snorkeling, so I was helped by the guide's kind explanations. I recommend this for those who want to enjoy a day at a great value.

友達と来たかったんですが、予定が合わなくて一人で参加しました。
青の洞窟でクマノミを見るのが楽しみで参加しました。
砂浜に出ると海の青さと砂浜の白さが期待以上で感動しました。
シュノーケルは数年前にやって以来なのでガイドさんの親切な説明に助けられました。
お得に1日遊びたい方にオススメです。

The heat is indeed tough to bear. You need to be careful about the temperature difference between the bus and outside. Especially when moving around the aquarium, I recommend taking your time and resting while you explore. At Ryukyu Village, it's humid and there are a lot of insects, so insect repellent is a must.

やはり、暑さは堪えます。バスと外との温度差は気をつける必要あり。
特に水族館での移動は、ゆっくり、休みながら見学することを勧めます。
琉球村は、蒸し暑く、虫が多くいますので、虫除けは必須です。
