All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I was hesitant to enter the sea, but with the guide accompanying us, I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. The Blue Cave was very beautiful, but there were many tour guests, which made it take a while to take photos inside the cave. After exiting the cave, we were able to feed the fish and see many of them right in front of us. The guide took a lot of photos for us. The guide mentioned that the morning tour is recommended because the cave can get crowded.

海に入るのに抵抗がありましたが、ガイドさんがついてくださり安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができました。青の洞窟はとても奇麗だったのですが、ツアー客が多く洞窟の中で写真を撮るのに時間がかかりました。洞窟から出た所で魚の餌付けができ、目の前でたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。ガイドさんにたくさん写真を撮っていただきました。ガイドさんより、洞窟内は込み合うため朝一番のツアーがお勧めだそうです。

The weather was bad and a bit cold, but I was impressed by the wonderful Kerama Blue! I will come again.
The attentive staff was great.
Thank you!

天候が悪く多少寒かったですが、素晴らしい慶良間ブルーに感動しました! また来ます。
丁寧なスタッフが素晴らしいですね。
ありがとうございました

A diver is assigned to each small group, so I felt safe and enjoyed it even as a beginner! The moment I put my face in the water, I was amazed by the beautiful coral reef that spread out before me!

少人数のグループに１人必ずダイバーさんがつくので、初めてでも安心して楽しめました！
海面に顔をつけた瞬間、きれいなサンゴ礁が広がってて初めての光景に感動しました！

Since I was traveling with my elderly mother and uncle and aunt, I chose this tour as it seemed manageable. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, it was good to see that the elderly group was able to enjoy Ishigaki Island to some extent.

This tour may not be recommended for those who want to spend a lot of time at one location or for those looking to be very active, but I think it’s a good plan for those who want to efficiently enjoy Ishigaki Island.

後期高齢者の母と叔父・叔母夫婦を連れての観光だったので、あまり無理のなさそうなこのツアーを選びました。雨が降ったり止んだりの生憎の天気ではありましたが、高齢者御一行もそれなりに石垣島を堪能してくれたようで良かったです。
一箇所にたっぷり時間をかけて楽しみたいと言う人やアクティブに体を動かしたいと言う人にはオススメではないですが、効率的に石垣島を楽しみたいと言う人には良いプランだと思います。

The beer after the activity was amazing. At the izakaya you recommended, we enjoyed delicious Okinawan cuisine while looking at the beautiful photos shared by the staff and laughing together. I will definitely come back to create more wonderful memories.

アクティビティ後のビールが最高でした。おススメしていただいた居酒屋さんで、美味しい沖縄料理を食べながら、スタッフさんにいただきた綺麗な写真をみて、笑いあっていました笑
また素敵な思い出を作りにうかがいます。

The sea was much more beautiful than it looked in the photos, and I was surprised. The staff took many pictures, which became lifelong memories, and they also shared various information about Ishigaki Island, allowing me to fully enjoy my time there. Thank you very much! 😊

写真で見るよりはるかに海が綺麗でびっくりしました。
写真もスタッフの方がたくさん撮って頂き一生の思い出になりましたし、スタッフの方が石垣島の色んな情報も教えてくださったので満喫する事ができました。
ありがとうございました(^^)

I'm glad I signed up for the tour on my first trip to Ishigaki Island. I was a bit anxious because I had an elementary school child with me, but the guide took great care of us until the end, which was a big help. We were able to enjoy ourselves as if we were kids again. Thank you very much!

初めての石垣島旅行でツアーに申し込みして良かったです。
小学生の子供がいたので不安だったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが最後まで面倒見てくださり助かりました。
私たちも子供の頃に戻ったかのように楽しめました。
本当にありがとうございました。

This was my third time in Okinawa, but I had never seen the beautiful ocean there, so I decided to join. Since I usually don't drive and wanted to enjoy some beer during lunch, I opted for a bus tour. There were few participants due to the season, and more than half were from overseas. The Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island were truly beautiful, and I'm glad I participated. I also thought the price was reasonable.

沖縄は3回目でしたが、沖縄の美しい海を見たことが無かったので参加しました。普段は自動車の運転をしていなしのと、ランチでビールを楽しみたかったこともあり、バスツアーにしました。時期的に参加人数は少なく、また半数以上は海外の方でした。美ら海水族館も古宇利島も本当に美しくて参加して良かったと思います。料金もリーズナブルだと思いました。

I booked this tour because of the promised visit to the butterfly farm and Churaumi aquarium. But on the tour I’ve realized that it doesn’t include butterfly farm since April 2019 even though it is still in the program.. We stopped in a few shops for tourists (including pineapple farm that suits kids) till we got to the aquarium after 4.5 hours on the road (direct driving on highway from Naha takes about an hour to there). In aquarium we were given 3 hours but I needed 4-5 hours to see other facilities as well. The place is huge and 3 hours would be enough only to see the aquarium.
On the way back we stopped again in the place selling local sweets for tourists, when most of these sweets can be found at the airport so it was waste of time again.. we were only 6 people on a cloudy day of the rainy season so I returned to Naha at 6 p.m (last drop off) but I can imagine that the way back can take 2 hours more just for dropping off every participant in different locations..

I participated in a night tour in Ishigaki Island. I was able to encounter many creatures. The guide also introduced various plants. It was very enjoyable to connect with the wildlife, plants, and nature. I was really excited about the coconut crab! The guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot!

石垣島のナイトツアーに参加しました。たくさんの生物に出会うことができました。他にも植物などガイドさんが紹介してくれました。生物や植物、自然に触れ合うことができ、とても楽しかったです。ヤシガニには大興奮しました！ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、たくさん教えてくれました！

It was my first trip to Ishigaki, and it turned out to be a truly fulfilling day. I did stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay and snorkeled in the Blue Cave. I took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Next time, I would like to visit Iriomote Island, which the guide recommended. I hope to do it again then.

初石垣旅行でしたが、本当に濃い一日になり大満足でした。
川平湾でサップと青の洞窟シュノーケル。
どちらもたくさん写真を撮って下さり、本当に良い思い出になりました。
今度は、ガイドさんオススメの西表島にも行ってみたいです。
その時は、またお願いします。

For 3200 yen, it was a tour that felt cheap. The story from the beautiful guide, who claims to resemble Rosanne, was so enjoyable that even though I left home at 5 AM and was sleepy, I was wide awake because the stories were interesting. Once we entered the forest, she caught and showed us a rare lizard, and even tried to catch a snake, which was amusing. She was a bright and beautiful guide. By the way, she mentioned that she is a classmate of the mayor of Ishigaki.

3200円では、安いと思えたツアーでした。自称ロザンヌ似のキレイなガイドさんのお話が楽し過ぎて朝5時に家を出て参加した、眠たい私でしたが、話が おもしろいので、目が覚めました。山林にはいると、珍しいトカゲを捕まえて見せてくださったり、蛇まで、つかもうと笑っ
明るい美人のガイドさんでした。ちなみに、石垣市長と同級生だそうです。

It was cloudy and rainy during the rainy season, but it was a great experience to visit famous tourist spots. The delicious food and singing on the dinner cruise, along with the night view (including the luxury cruise ship), were wonderful!

曇り、雨の梅雨空でしたが、有名な観光地を巡れて良い体験となりました。
ディナークルージングでの美味しい料理と歌、そして夜景(豪華客船も)が良かった❗️

I made a reservation after looking at the map. I was told over the phone that booking through this site would be a good deal, so I made my reservation here. The guide not only provides transportation but also entertains us with various stories and photos. Even though I'm not good at swimming, I received great support, which was very helpful.

まっぷるをみて予約しました。このサイトから予約したらお得だとお電話で教えてもらったので、こちらで予約。
ガイドさんは送迎もしてくれる上、色んなお話や写真でもてなしてくれます。
泳ぎが苦手な私でも、精一杯のサポートをしていただけるので助かりました。

I was very grateful for the quick response despite having to change the time at the last minute due to not being able to make it on time. The guide was kind and provided clear explanations and guidance, which made my wife, who is not very experienced at swimming, feel very comfortable and enjoy herself. I will definitely use this service again when I go back! Thank you for accommodating my requests this time! It was so much fun!

予定時間に間に合わず急遽時間変更したにもかかわらず迅速に対応して頂き大変助かりました。ガイドの方が親切でわかりやすく説明、案内してくれたので泳ぎに不慣れな嫁も凄く安心して楽しんでました。行った時は是非また使わせて頂きます！今回はワガママ聞いて頂きありがとうございました！凄く楽しかったです！

The Churaumi Aquarium was enjoyable to explore at a leisurely pace, and we were able to take proper restroom breaks. It was truly a valuable tour. I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed whether you're alone or with a few people.

美ら海水族館もゆっくりと回れたし、トイレ休憩もちゃんと取れたし、本当に価値あるツアーでした。一人でも数人でも楽しめるツアーだと思います。

The weather was nice, so I was able to fully enjoy it. The bus guide's stories were also fun, so I didn't get bored on the bus. Since it was my first trip to Okinawa, I really enjoyed this packed tour. Next time I go, I think I would like to rent a car and take my time visiting the places I liked.

お天気が良かったので満喫できました
バスガイドさんのお話も楽しくバスの中も退屈せずに済みました
沖縄旅行が初めてだったので、この盛りだくさんのツアーはとても楽しめました
次に行く時は気に入った場所にレンタカーを借りてゆっくり行きたいかなぁと思います

The stand-up paddleboarding experience at Kabira Wan, the snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and the Tarzan jump at the waterfall were all amazing. I participated alone, but I felt like I made a friend with the guide, and I was very satisfied.

カビラワンでのサップ体験、青の洞窟のシュノーケリングツアー、滝壺でのターザンジャンプ、どれもこれも最高でした。1人参加でしたが、ガイドさんと友達になれた気がして、大満足です

The morning mangrove stand-up paddleboarding was great, but in the afternoon during snorkeling, the guide forgot the marine shoes... which was a mistake. I had to walk on the rough road to the beach in flip-flops, causing blisters. I wore fins over the flip-flops and explored the Blue Cave in them, which really damaged my feet (￣∇￣).

If the marine shoes hadn't been forgotten, it would have been just a fun memory, but now there's also a painful memory added to it. That said, looking back, it has become a good memory.

I am giving this evaluation with hopes for improvement.

午前中のマングローブSUPまでは良かったのですが、午後からのシュノーケルで担当ガイドさんがマリンシューズを忘れる…というミスをしてしまいました。ビーチに行くまでの悪路をビーサンで歩き、鼻緒が靴擦れ。ビーサンの上からフィンをして、青の洞窟の中もビーサンで散策と、かなり足にダメージが(￣∇￣)
マリンシューズの忘れ物がなければ楽しい思い出だけでしたが、痛い思い出もプラスされてしまいました。
とはいえ、今となればそれも良い思い出ですが。

改善の期待を込めてこちらの評価にさせて頂きます。

If you want to efficiently explore the central and southern parts of Okinawa Main Island, this tour is very good. I chose a plan that included dinner and dancing because I wanted to learn as much about Okinawa as possible. It was quite a good deal!

沖縄本島の中部と南部を効率よく回りたいのならば、このツアーはとても良いです。
私は出来る限り沢山の沖縄を知りたかったので、夕食と踊りがつくプランにしました。なかなかお得でした！

I had a full-day experience. I'm grateful to the staff who kindly supported me with a smile, no matter how slow my swimming was.
It seems that Kabira Bay can be rough, so we ended up doing mangrove SUP, but it was very calm, which I actually preferred!
As others have mentioned, I received the photos right away.
Thank you, Suga-chan, for the wonderful day!

1日つきっきり体験させていただきました。どんなに泳ぎが遅くてもニコニコ対応してくださったスタッフさんに感謝です。。
川平湾は荒れやすいらしく、マングローブのSUPになりましたが、非常に穏やかで私にはむしろ良かったと思います！
他の人も書いてますが、写真もすぐにもらえました。
スガちゃん1日ありがとうございました。

I really wanted to go to Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave, and I found this tour just in the nick of time! Thank you for accommodating my last-minute reservation ^_^
The guide's hospitality was incredible!
Everyone was so kind, and I was truly moved. They also took some really beautiful photos.

P.S. Was there another photo of me diving while snorkeling?

川平湾と青の洞窟にはどうしても行きたくて、予約ギリギリで見つけたツアーでした！ギリギリの予約で対応してくださってありがとうございます^_^
ガイドさんのホスピタリティが半端ない！
皆さん優しくて感動しました。写真もすごく綺麗に撮ってくださいます。

p.s.シュノーケリングの飛び込んでいる写真もう一枚ありませんでしたか？

At first, I made a reservation through another site, but I was kindly informed over the phone that booking through VELTRA would be more advantageous. The instructor on the day was also very polite, and I was able to easily enjoy both SUP and snorkeling for the first time. They took a lot of photos, so I think it will become a wonderful travel memory.

最初は他のサイトから予約したのですが、VELTRAから予約するとお得だとご丁寧にお電話で教えてもらいました。
当日のインストラクターの方も大変丁寧で、初めてのSUPもシュノーケリングも難なくできました。写真もたくさん撮っていただけるので、素晴らしい旅の思い出になると思います。

My husband, our two children, and I participated in a tour. Our main goal was to visit the aquarium, so we looked for a tour that would allow us to leave late and return early.

The aquarium was larger than I expected, and I wanted to see other facilities as well, but it felt like there wasn't enough time. However, for me, who was focused on seeing the whale sharks, it was great to be able to watch them at a leisurely pace. At Kouri Island, I recommend bringing a change of clothes. My kids, one in elementary school and the other in preschool, ran straight into the beautiful sea and ended up soaking their pants (laughs).

Also, the guide introduced us to various Okinawan songs and dialects, which was fun. Although it wasn't us, I appreciated how the guide quickly made phone calls and changes for those who were stuck in traffic on the way back and were worried about missing their dinner reservations.

Next time, I definitely want to join a different tour! ♪

主人と私、子ども二人で参加。水族館に行くのが目的で、遅く出発して早めに帰ってこれるツアーをさがして申込ました。
水族館は、思ったよりも広く水族館の他の施設も見たかったけど、時間がたりない感じでした。でも、ジンベイザメを目的にしていた私にとっては、ゆっくりジンベイザメを見れてよかったです。古宇利では、着替えをもっていくことをお勧めします。うちの子は小学生と年中ですが、きれいな海に一目散に走っていってパンツまで濡れてしまいました(笑)
あと、ガイドさんが沖縄の唄や方言をいろいろ紹介してくれて楽しかったです。
私たちではなかったですが、帰りが事故渋滞で夕食の予約に間に合わない人の為に、すばやく電話や変更などをしていた姿がよかったです。
次回は、また違うツアーに是非参加したいです♪

Okinawa might be best explored by rental car. However, I made a reservation for my parents who were hesitant about driving in an unfamiliar place. Our accommodation was in Naha City, but they found it appealing that they could visit all the places they wanted in one day. They were worried that their time at the aquarium would be short, but that wasn't the case; they were able to relax and enjoy watching the fish. They were also happy that the entrance fee and meals were included, which helped keep additional expenses down. This option might be perfect for those who want to be active but feel physically uncertain about doing it on their own.

沖縄はレンタカーで周るのがいいかもしれません。
ただ、慣れないところを運転するのは嫌だという両親のために予約しました。
宿泊が那覇市内でしたが、１日で行きたいところを周れるのが魅力だったとのこと。水族館での時間が短いかと心配していましたが、そんなことはなく、のんびり魚をみることができて癒されたそうです。入場料や食事も込みで、追加の出費も抑えられたと喜んでいました。アクティブに動きたいけど、自分たちだけでは体力的に不安な方にはぴったりなのかもしれません。

The guide was very kind, and we were able to feed the animals and enjoy the beautiful scenery! If you're looking for a blue cave experience, this is definitely the place! I highly recommend it!

ガイドさんがとても優しく、餌をあげれたり
綺麗な景色を堪能できました！！
青の洞窟体験なら間違いなくここ！
おすすめです！

I participated in the morning half-day tour on June 4th!

It was my first time snorkeling, and I felt a bit anxious about going alone. However, the staff were friendly and explained everything clearly, which quickly eased my worries.

The waters around Kerama were incredibly beautiful, with deep shades of blue and green that left me in awe. I loved seeing the shimmering schools of fish. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to see a turtle too.

I appreciated the hotel pickup service! They also took photos, which made for great memories. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you!

6/4午前半日に参加しました！

初めてのシュノーケリング、一人参加に不安をおぼえつつの参加でした。スタッフの皆さんが気さくで、わかりやすく教えてくれたのですぐに不安はふっとびました。

慶良間の海はとてもきれいで深い碧と青に感動。魚の群れがキラキラ見えてすごくよかった。よくをいえば亀にも会いたかったなぁ。

ホテルピックアップもしてくれてありがたい！
写真も撮ってくれるので記念になります。
ぜひまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

The wind was strong, so instead of SUP at Kawahira Bay, we did SUP on the river, but it was still a lot of fun. There were plenty of activities like snorkeling and exploring caves, so I was satisfied. The staff's polite service was also great.

風が強く川平湾でのSUPではなく、川でのSUPとなりましたが十分楽しかったです。
シュノーケル、洞窟など盛りだくさんでしたので満足しました。
従業員の方も丁寧な接客も良かったです。

I was able to efficiently visit many places, and the duration of the stay was just right. I think this price is a great deal, including the admission and transportation fees.

効率良くたくさんの場所を巡れ、滞在時間も丁度良かったです。
見学料金、乗車料金含めてこの料金はお得だと思います。

I was expecting the famous guide, but due to scheduling, we had a female guide instead. It's understandable that she had a day off, and the female guide was very pleasant, so I have no complaints. For beginners in travel, a sightseeing bus tour that efficiently takes you to the attractions is very helpful as an introduction. However, due to time constraints, lunch was served quite early (at 11:30), and I ended up leaving some of the food uneaten. When I asked the staff to reduce the portion because I have a small appetite, they said not to worry about leaving food if there was too much. It feels uncomfortable to waste food, so I wished they could have reduced it. After lunch, it started pouring rain, and at the last stop, Tamatorizaki, we couldn't go up to the observation deck, which was disappointing. On the way back, they also drop you off at the airport, which I think is convenient for those who want to make the most of the morning and head straight home.

名物おじさんのガイドを期待していましたが、シフトの関係で女性のガイドさんでした。お休みの日があるのは仕方のないことですし、女性ガイドさんもとても感じのいい方でしたので、不満はありません。旅行初心者にとって、要領よく名所を回って下さる観光バスツアーは、入門編としてとてもありがたいと思います。時間配分の関係上、お昼ご飯の時間が早く（11：30）、せっかくのお料理を残すことになってしまいました。箸をつける前にお店の方に「食が細いのでご飯を減らしてください」とお願いしたところ、多かったら気にせず残してくださいとのことでした。食べ物を残すのは心苦しいので、ご面倒でも減らしてほしいと感じました。昼食後に土砂降りになり、最後に立ち寄った玉取崎では展望台に上がれず、残念でした。帰りには空港にも寄って下さるので、午前中を有効活用してそのまま帰路につく方にも便利だと思います。
