All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I had a whole day free while traveling alone, so I decided to make a reservation. My main goal was the Ocean Expo Park, but since I had the opportunity, I chose this tour that also allowed me to visit places I hadn't had the chance to go to before.

As a result, I was able to take photos at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and I thoroughly enjoyed both Pineapple Park and Ryukyu Mura. Although my stay at places other than Churaumi was short, I personally felt it was just the right amount of time without feeling rushed.

The guide, despite saying they were inexperienced, provided a thorough and reassuring tour. If you're participating with multiple people, three hours might not be enough to fully enjoy the aquarium, but I think this plan is perfect for solo travelers.

1人旅で丸々1日空いていたので、予約してみました。目当ては海洋博公演でしたが、せっかくなので、あえて行く機会がなかなか無かった場所にも寄れるこのツアーをチョイス。
結果的に、美ら海水族館での写真撮影はもちろん、パイナップルパークも琉宮城もしっかり楽しめました。美ら海以外は滞在短めですが、個人的には時間を持て余すことが無くちょうど良いくらいでした。
ガイドさんは、不慣れとおっしゃりつつも丁寧にガイドしてくださり、安心できました。
複数人で参加の場合は、水族館をじっくり見たりと3時間滞在では足りないかもしれませんが、1人旅にはピッタリのプランだと思います。

Our guide, Hiromi Izumi, showcased her extensive knowledge and provided an exceptional experience with singing, dancing, and storytelling. She even taught us the traditional Kachashi dance and created her own quizzes, demonstrating her dedication to service as a veteran guide. I was also impressed by her calm handling of late guests.

ガイドさんの泉広美さん。豊富な知識での案内に加え、歌に踊りに紙芝居、さらにカチャーシー指導や自作のクイズまでサービス精神の塊でベテランガイドの至芸を見せてくださいました。遅刻する客に対する処し方も穏やかで感服しました。

As the title suggests, it rained all day, but we had a great time on the bus thanks to the bus guide's talks, songs, and dances. Also, the aquarium was as impressive as rumored, and my daughter was very satisfied.

タイトルの通り終日雨でしたが、バスガイドさんのトークやら歌やら踊りでバス車内では楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。また、水族館は噂通りの迫力で娘も大満足でした。

The weather was bad, so I couldn't see the Marine Blue that I was looking forward to. I was a bit disappointed because I had high expectations for Marine Blue. The male guide entertained us during the tour with the sound of the sanshin and local island songs. The tour included plenty of highlights like the Tomb of the Chinese, Kabira Bay, Tamatorizaki Observatory, and the Yaeyama Palm forest, making it a great deal.

The morning bus tour with lunch was a good value and highly recommended. The ingredients for lunch were great, and the pickled bitter melon was the best. I wanted to buy some to take home. I enjoyed it very much.

I made a mistake and got the date wrong, which caused trouble for the bus company, Beltora. However, thanks to the bus company's proper advice, I was able to change it to the next day, which made me happy. Without the bus company's advice, I would have lost my payment. I would also like to thank Beltora and the bus company for their assistance.

お天気が悪くて、楽しみにしていたマリーンブルーを見ることができませんでした。
マリーンブルーへの期待が大きかったため、少々がっかり。
男性ガイドさんの”さんしん”の音色と地元の島唄　ツアー中楽しませてくれます。
唐人墓、川平湾、玉取崎展望台、ヤエヤマヤシの林と盛りだくさんで、お得です。
午前発ランチ付きのバスツアー　お得でお勧めです。
ランチの食材もよかったし、ゴーヤの漬け物最高でした。買って帰りたいくらいでした。おいしくいただきました。

ミスで、日にちを間違えて、バス会社、ベルトラさんに迷惑をおかけしましたが、バス会社の適切なアドバイスで翌日に変更してもらい、うれしかったです。バス会社さんのアドバイスがなければ、代金を損するところでした。また対応してくださったベルトラさん、バス会社さんにもお礼申し上げます。

The morning course is a great deal with lunch included. The wonderful voice of the male guide, the sound of the sanshin, and the island songs are enjoyable. I wish there had been some sunshine. I was looking forward to the color of the sea at Kabira Bay, but it was cloudy, which was disappointing. The lunch was delicious, and aside from the weather, I was satisfied. I made a mistake with the date, but the staff at Veltra were very helpful, which made me happy. I highly recommend this course; it offers great value.

午前のコースはランチ付きでお得です。
男性ガイドのすてきな声、さんしんの音色、島唄は楽しませてくれます。
これで晴れ間があれば、よかったのですが。
川平湾の海の色を期待していたのですが、曇り空で残念。
ランチもおいしかったし、空模様以外は満足です。
自分のミスで日にちを間違えており、それにもベルトラさんが対応してくれて、うれしかったです。
お勧めで、お得感いっぱいのコースです。

It was a tour that covered all the highlights.
The male guide provided explanations, making sure to cover the key attractions.
He entertained us by playing the sanshin and singing island songs.
Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, we couldn't see the colors of the sea that we were hoping for.

見所を押さえた一周ツアーです。
男性のガイドさんの説明で、見所を押さえたツアーでした。
さんしんを弾きながら、島唄を歌って楽しませてくれます。
お天気が悪くて期待していた海の色はみえませんでした。

It depends on the weather, but you can take a tour that includes lunch at a low price. The male guide's fun island songs and the sound of the sanshin made the time fly by. This time, the weather was bad, and the color of the sea in Ishigaki Island was not great. It was disappointing. The lunch was delicious, and it would have been perfect if the sun had come out.

お天気に左右されますが、安くてランチ付きで一周できます。
男性ガイドさんの楽しい島唄、さんしんの音色で、時間はあっと言うまに過ぎました。
今回は天気が悪くて、石垣島の海の色はもうひとつでした。残念でした。
ランチもおいしかったし、これで晴れ間が出れば最高だったのですが。

I was disappointed because I was expecting the color of the sea. The guide's talk was interesting, and time passed quickly. I took a glass-bottom boat, but the weather was bad, and the coral reef was not great. The lunch was just okay. It was good for the price to make a quick round, but I think it depends on the weather.

海の色を期待していたので、残念。
案内の人のトークが面白くて、時間が過ぎるのが早かった。
グラスボートに乗りましたが、天気が悪くて珊瑚礁もう一つでした。
お昼の食事はまあまあ。
ざっと一周するには、値段の割によかったですが、天気によると思います。

I thought I had booked the tour with the famous old man, but a woman was in charge. The tour had plenty of time at each location, allowing us to see everything thoroughly. The guide's explanations were clear and interesting, making it a more fulfilling experience than I expected. I wouldn't recommend the lunch as it wasn't very tasty, but everything else was wonderful, so I would love to go again if I get the chance.

名物おじさんのツアーと思い午前中の予約にしたのですが、女性の方が担当でした。ツアーはどこも時間に余裕がありしっかり見ることが出来たのとガイドさんの説明が分かりやすく、面白かったので予想以上に充実したツアーになりました。ランチはあまり美味しくなかったのでオススメしませんが、それ以外は素晴らしいのでまたチャンスがあれば行きたいです。

I was unsure whether to rent a car in Ishigaki Island or to use a jumbo taxi or bus for sightseeing, so I made my reservation with some hesitation. Just before the trip, the jumbo taxi driver suggested that instead of taking the bus, we could continue sightseeing with the jumbo taxi. However, I thought it might be difficult to cancel, so I decided to go ahead with it. We had a child in a wheelchair, but both the bus driver and the guide were very nice, and I really appreciated their help with folding and lifting the wheelchair and their consideration for the child’s needs! The guide was skilled, incorporating songs and the sanshin, which made for a very enjoyable half-day filled with laughter and jokes. They took us to places we wouldn’t have been able to visit on our own, and we had a great time.

石垣島でレンタカー借りるより、ジャンボタクシーや、バスで観光出来るかな？と迷いながらの予約申込でした。直前、ジャンボタクシーの人から、バスで観光するより、このままジャンボタクシーで観光しては？と言われましたが、キャンセルするのもどうかなと思い、そのまま参加しました。車椅子の子供がいたのですが、バスの運転手さんもガイドさんも好い人で、車椅子をたたんでの上げ下ろしや、不自由な子供への配慮がとても有難かったです！ガイドも上手で、歌や三線取り入れて、笑いあり、冗談ありでとても楽しい半日でした。家族だけではなかなか行けないところに連れていってくれ、楽しかったです

I was glad to be able to visit various places in one day. However, the sightseeing time at each facility was short, so I couldn't have lunch, which was a bit disappointing.

一日でいろいろ回れてよかったです。ただ、施設ごとの観光時間が短かったので、お昼ご飯を食べることで出来なかったのは、少し残念でした。

I often go snorkeling in Okinawa, but this was my first time in December, and I was worried about the cold. However, the weather was clear, and it felt great! We were taken to three points where we enjoyed the incredibly clear waters of Kerama. At the second point, I was thrilled to see two sea turtles. And finally, we even encountered a whale from the boat! I think we were quite lucky, but our guide was also entertaining and led us well, making it a very satisfying snorkeling tour. I highly recommend it!

沖縄でシュノーケルは良くしますが12月のタイミングでは初めてで寒さなど心配していましたが、晴天でとても気持ちよかったです！
3ポイントに連れて行っていただき透明度抜群の慶良間の海を楽しめました。
2ポイント目では海ガメ2匹にも会えて感動しました。
そして最後はなんと、船の上からクジラにも会えました！
かなり運が良かったと思いますが、ガイドさんも面白くリードしてくださってとても満足のいくシュノーケルツアーとなりました。おススメです。

The bus guide and the driver were very pleasant and wonderful. Due to hotel arrangements, I had to get off partway, but they were very kind and provided great support, which impressed me. Kouri Island was very beautiful. I wish I could have spent a little more time there. The weather wasn't great, but I was able to visit many places I wanted to go and had a great time. The bus was comfortable, and thanks to that, I was able to enjoy my time.

バスガイドさんと運転手さんがとても感じがよくて、素晴らしかった。
ホテルの都合で途中下車をすることになったけれど、色々相談に乗ってくださりとても親切で素晴らしい対応で感動しました。
古宇利島がとても綺麗でした。
もう少しゆっくりできたらよかったです。
天候がイマイチでしたが、行ってみたかったところにたくさん行けて満喫できました。
バスも快適でお陰で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

We were fortunate to have a great driver and tour guide, making it a wonderful trip. It's much safer and more reassuring than renting a car. Although the driver and tour guide were with us for just one day, we appreciated their help. The tour content was very fulfilling, and I highly recommend it.

ドライバーさん添乗員さんに恵まれてとても良い旅行になりました。
レンタカーを借りるより安心安全ですよ。
ドライバーさん添乗員さん一日と短い間でしたがお世話になりました。
ツアーの内容もとても充実お勧めですよ。

Our family enjoy the visit at Churaumi Aquarium and after the Pineapple park, we even received a surprise gift of pineapple ice cream and it taste very delicious

It was a great tour visiting the highlights of the northern region, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium. Although the sky was cloudy and the scenery was disappointing, I was able to hear the guide's explanations well and felt like I gained a deeper understanding of Okinawa.

美ら海水族館をはじめ、北部の見どころを回るいいツアーでした。
曇り空で
景色が残念な分ガイドさんの話しが良く聞け、沖縄を深く知れた気がしました。

I was worried because the bus didn't arrive even after the scheduled time, but the guide's stories were interesting, and they sang well, which made it enjoyable. The driver also drove safely and greeted us pleasantly every time we got on and off. Thank you for a fulfilling day.

沖縄タイムなのか時間になってもバスが来ず心配しましたが、ガイドさんのお話は面白く、歌も上手で、楽しませて頂きました。
運転手さんも安全運転で、乗車降車の度に気持ちよく挨拶して頂きました。
充実した1日をありがとうございました。

I felt that the guide's precise explanations were great. The duration of each stop was also just right. I think it was a satisfying tour for the price.

ガイドさんの的確な説明が良かったと感じます
ポイントポイントの滞在時間も適度でした
お値段の割には満足のいくツアーだと思います

Solo trip. I thought it would be a long drive, but I wanted to be healed by the nature and atmosphere of Okinawa, so I signed up for a tour with a guide's performance among the many bus tours available! I was surprised to see many foreign participants, but we laughed a lot thanks to the guide's hospitality, and in the end, it was moving✨ The weather was great, and it was a fun day! Thank you, Oshi-san and Kinjō-san, for the best day ever! I will use your services again (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

一人旅。車で行くのは遠いなーと思いつつ、沖縄の自然や雰囲気に癒されたくて、数あるバスツアーの中でもから、ガイドさんのパフォーマンスつきのツアーを申し込みました！
外国の方の参加が多くてビックリでしたが、ガイドさんのおもてなしによく笑い、最後は感動✨天気も良くて、楽しい１日でした！大城さん、金城さん、最高の１日をありがとうございました❗
また利用します(*^▽^)/★*☆♪

On the second day of my stay in Okinawa, I participated in a tour. Despite it being the end of November, the temperature was 27 degrees, and the weather was clear, making it feel like summer. At the Churaumi Aquarium, the visit lasted a generous 150 minutes, allowing me to take my time to see the whale sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, and the dolphin show, and I even had time for some shopping. Throughout the day, I was able to visit Kadena Air Base, Manza Beach, and American Village as well, and since the aquarium entrance fee was included, I think it was a very worthwhile tour. On the bus, in addition to explanations of each sightseeing spot, they played various Okinawan background music, which helped me relax. It was a fun day!

沖縄滞在の2日目に参加しました。11月末だというのに、気温は27度、天気は快晴、まるで夏のような1日でした。美ら海水族館では、滞在時間が長めの150分なので、ジンベイザメ、マンタ、ウミガメ、イルカのショーなど、ゆっくり見ることができ、さらにショッピングをする余裕もありました。1日の中で、嘉手納基地や万座毛、アメリカンビレッジも訪れることができ、水族館の入場料込なので、とてもお得なツアーだと思います。バス車内では、各観光地の説明の他にも、様々な沖縄のBGM を流してくれて、リラックスできました。楽しい1日でした！

Despite the challenges of having many foreign guests, you made the experience very enjoyable on the bus, and it became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much! (´▽`)♪

外国人が多く案内も大変ななか、車内でとても楽しませてくださり、良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました(´▽`)♪

Many hotels had pickups, and since it was the first hotel, the wait was too long. I wished I had more time at the aquarium.

多くのホテルにお迎えがあり、最初のホテルだったのでその時間が長すぎました。
水族館の時間がもっと欲しかったです。

Good value for money but the guides spoke no english so that was weird.

Total price includes lunch and entrance fees so you don't have to worry about anything. Was also nice enough to drop us off anywhere we wanted

Value for money. You can get the whole trip for so cheap

Had an awesome time even though we barely speak Japanese. Very good value!

I chose this tour because I can't drive, and it allows me to visit distant tourist spots from Naha all at once. The guide provided various explanations and even showcased songs and dances on the bus, which made me fully enjoy the Okinawa atmosphere. There was plenty of time at each tourist spot, and I had a great time. Thank you very much.

車の運転が出来ないので、那覇から遠い観光地を一気に回れるこのツアーを選びました。
バスの中でもガイドさんが様々な説明や、歌や踊りも披露してくださり沖縄気分を満喫できました。各観光地での時間もたっぷりあり、とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

I applied for this tour to efficiently visit the distant aquarium and other attractions from Naha City! The bus guide showcased Okinawan songs and performed a picture-story show, taught us some dances, and helped us unload our luggage on the way back. The hospitality on the bus was excellent. The meeting times for each attraction were clearly indicated on plates, which was very helpful. I was able to visit various places in a short time efficiently, and the bus was comfortable, which was great.

那覇市内から遠方の水族館と他名所に効率よくまわりたいため申し込みしました！
バスガイドさんが、沖縄の歌や紙芝居を披露していただいたり、踊りをレクチャーしてくれたり、帰りに荷物をおろしていただいたり、車内のおもてなしがすばらしかったです。
各名所の集合時間もプレートでわかりやすかったです。
短時間で、効率よく色々な場所をまわれたのと、バスが快適でとてもよかったです。

It was a fun time hearing stories from the local guide. However, I felt there wasn't much time to spare.

現地のガイドさんからお話が聞けて、楽しい時間でした。ただとても時間にゆとりがなかった～って思います。
