All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

It was my first time diving and snorkeling, but the guide was very polite and kind, which was great. The sea was very beautiful.

初めてのダイビング、シュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドの方がとても丁寧で親切で良かったです
海はとても綺麗でした

I was amazed by the sheer number of fish I've never seen before, all so colorful! I was also thrilled to see Nemo in person, something I've only seen in videos before.

これまで見たことないくらいたくさんのお魚と、色鮮やかな魚ばかりで感動しました！
初動画でしか見たことないニモも生で見れて感動

Although the chance of rain was 80%, it was beautifully sunny, and we were able to experience everything without getting wet. The mangroves offered a breathtaking panorama that felt like something out of a dream. While paddleboarding, the waves were gentle, making it easy to ride. The maneuverability was great, so I highly recommend it. Meeting the Ryukyu Kingfisher was a highlight, and the guide's insights were unique to this place, making it a wonderful memory. In the Blue Cave, the sea, coral reefs, and colorful fish of all sizes were stunning. I did feel a bit unwell at one point, but the kind words from the staff helped me get through it. Everyone else on the tour was lovely too, and we waved goodbye with big smiles as we parted ways.

降水確率80%でしたが、しっかり晴れて雨にあたることなく、体験できました。
マングローブでは、日本と思えないパノラマが広がり感動しました。サップでは、波も少なく簡単に乗ることができました。小回りもきくので、とてもおすすめです。リュウキュウアカショウビンに出会えて、ガイドさんの案内も、ここならでは！と言うことばかりで、とても、いい思い出になりました。青の洞窟では、海と珊瑚礁、大小のカラフルな魚達、美しかったです。途中、気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、優しい声かけをしていただき、無事すごせました。また、同じツアーに参加した皆さんも、素敵な方で別れ際は大きく手を振って笑顔でわかれました。

From the airport, you can easily and affordably travel to the island terminal with frequent services. It's even better if your accommodation is close to that route. Taxis were also easy to catch. If you use a hotel that is on the route, your destination, and a plan that includes transportation, the travel costs are quite reasonable.

空港から、離島ターミナルまでは、本数があり格安で移動できます。宿泊先が、その路線近くだと尚いいです。おタクシーもつかまりやすかったです。路線から、滞在するホテル、行き先、また、送迎付きプランを使えば、交通費は、かなり手頃です。

I found it very convenient during my last use, so this is my second time using it. I plan to stay in Ishigaki for another two months, and I intend to use it about twice a month from now on.

前回使用してかなり便利だったので、2回目の利用です。
石垣にはあと2ヶ月滞在予定ですが、これからも月に2回くらいは使う予定でいます。

I came to Ishigaki Island alone. I live quite far from the city center, but I was relieved that there are buses running since I'm anxious about driving. Using the free pass, it's almost equivalent to getting the fare back for just one way, so I would like to use it again!

単身で石垣島に来ました。
市街地からかなり離れたところに住んでいますが、車の運転が不安なのでバスが通っていて助かりました。
フリーパスを使うとほぼ片道だけで素が取れるレベルに等しいので、また利用したいと思います！

I always find it convenient to use, but this time I forgot to purchase in advance and bought it just before the bus arrived. Since I needed to display the voucher, I was a bit rushed, but I was able to show it right away. Once again, I was grateful to be able to make a cashless purchase while traveling.

いつも便利に利用しておりますが、今回はあらかじめ の購入をお忘れており バスが来る直前に購入しました。バウチャー券の表示が必要なので時間なく少し焦りましたが、すぐに表示することができ 今回も旅先でキャッシュレスにて購入でき助かりました。

The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but thanks to the sun being hidden behind the clouds, I was able to enjoy a relatively pleasant SUP experience. This was my second time doing SUP, but at times the wind was strong, and I felt like I would be swept out to sea if I didn't keep paddling, haha. With the precise advice from my instructor, Sugi-chan, sitting down reduced the resistance, allowing me to return to the shore. I had a wonderful time enjoying SUP for about an hour!

曇り時々晴れという天気でしたが、太陽が雲に隠れていたおかげで比較的気持ちよくSUP体験ができました。
今回は2回目のSUPでしたが、時々風が強く吹き常に漕いでいないと沖に流されてしまいそうでした笑
インストラクターのすぎちゃんの的確なアドバイスで座ると抵抗が少なくなり岸の方へ戻ることもできました。
約1時間ゆったりとSUP体験ができてとっても楽しかったです！！

It was unfortunately rainy, but I enjoyed the beautiful sea.

There were a lot of participants, and it felt a bit hectic, but I had a great time.

Thank you for everything.

あいにくの雨でしたが、綺麗な海を堪能しました。

参加人数が多く、なんとなく、セカセカしてる感じがしましたが、楽しかったです。

いろいろとありがとうございました。

The guide took us, so even as a beginner in diving, I felt safe going underwater. The weather was a bit cloudy, but I was happy to see the beautiful blue.

ガイドさんが連れて行ってくれるのでダイビング初心者でも安心して潜れました。
お天気は少し曇ってたけど綺麗な青が見れて嬉しかったです。

Iriomote Island was amazing! I received communication from them the day before, and on the day of the tour, there was a guide, canoeing instructions, and explanations about the mangroves and other ecosystems, making for a fun and valuable experience. Canoeing while looking at the greenery and the sea was fantastic. The water buffalo cart on Yubu Island and the botanical garden were truly enjoyable. I also visited Taketomi Island, but the experiences and sightseeing on Iriomote Island were outstanding. Iriomote Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it's difficult to explore on your own, so it's efficient to go with a guide. I appreciate the transportation to the port as well.

西表島、サイコーでした！前日からご連絡も頂き、当日のガイドやカヌーのレクチャー、マングローブ等の生態の説明もあり楽しく貴重な時間でした。緑や海を見ながら カヌーは、サイコーでした。由布島の水牛車、植物園と本当に楽しかったです。竹富島も行きましたが、西表島の体験や観光が素晴らしかったです。西表島は世界自然遺産で、個人では難しくガイドさんの案内で回るのが効率的です。港までも送迎、感謝です

It was a tour that focused on the Churaumi Aquarium and visited several sightseeing spots. Since it was my first tour and I had a guide for the whole day, I was able to enjoy sightseeing safely. The journey was by bus, so I could enjoy the scenery and check out souvenirs to buy, making good use of my time. On the way back, there was traffic, but I got tired and fell asleep, so I returned safely.

美ら海水族館メインで観光スポットを数カ所巡るツアーでした。
初ツアーで1日の案内して頂けたので安全に観光出来ました。
バスの中での旅でしたので景色を楽しんだり購入するお土産の確認したり時間を有意義に使えました。
帰りは渋滞でしたが疲れて寝てしまい安全に帰れました。

The weather was great, and the experience flew by in a fun way. The staff were skilled at getting everyone excited and were very kind, carefully teaching us how to use the equipment and the important points to note. During snorkeling, it was a valuable experience to swim with the fish while feeding them. In the marine sports, I was able to choose my speed and enjoy myself to the fullest. Additionally, since we put on wetsuits as soon as we got on the boat, I was grateful that I didn't have to worry about sunburn. Thank you very much! ☺︎

お天気にも恵まれ、楽しくてあっという間でした。スタッフさんは盛り上げ上手で親切で、器具の使い方や注意点を丁寧に教えてくださりました。シュノーケリングでは、餌やりをしながら魚と一緒に泳げて貴重な経験でした。マリンスポーツでは、スピードを選べて思いっきり楽しめました。また、船に乗ってすぐウエットスーツを着用するので、日焼けを気にせずに参加できたのはありがたかったです。ありがとうございました☺︎

I experienced mangroves, SUP, and a water buffalo cart on Yubu Island. The staff were polite and cheerful, providing great guidance, which was very nice. It felt like time flowed slowly, and I was very relaxed. There are also stylish restaurants on Iriomote Island, and I enjoyed a delicious lunch there.

There was about an hour of waiting time until the return ferry, so I hope there will be a smoother ferry option available in the future.

マングローブ、SUP.由布島観光、水牛車　の体験しました。スタッフさんは丁寧で元気よく案内してくれてとてもよかったです。のんびりと時間が流れるようでとても癒されました。西表島におしゃれなレストランもあり、美味しいランチもいただけました。
帰りのフェリーまで1時間くらい待ち時間があったので、もう少しスムーズに帰れるフェリーがあるといいなと思いました。

You can use it for 24 hours from the time of purchase, so there’s no disadvantage regardless of when you arrive in Ishigaki Island. However, this time, I received a printout that only allowed me to use it for 23 hours and 59 minutes from the start of use. I brought this up to the driver, but he insisted that there was no mistake. Since I couldn't get anywhere with that, I called the office, and it turned out that the driver had made an error. As a result, I was able to get it reissued.

購入から24時間使えて、いつ石垣島に到着しても有効期間で不利になることはありません。
が、今回は利用開始から23時間59分しか使えない印字で引き換えとなったので運転士に申し出ましたが間違いないとの一点張り。
埒が明かないので 営業所に電話したら運転士の誤りであることが判明、結果再発行してもらいました。

It's convenient because you can use it for 24 hours from the time of redemption, not just the purchase date. You can redeem it immediately by simply showing the voucher screen.

購入日だけでなく、引き換えから24時間使えるので便利です。
バウチャー画面を提示するだけですぐ引き換えできます。

Wow, it was amazing. I think it's a must-visit when you go to Ishigaki Island. The boarding time was irregular, so I boarded just 10 minutes after checking in. As someone who was traveling by bus, it was the best experience.

いやー、最高でした。石垣島に行ったら1度は行くべきだと思います。運航時間が不定期だったので受付後１０分で乗船でした。バスで行動していた身分としては最高でした。

I participated in the mangrove canoeing and snorkeling activities.

Honestly, both activities were amazing! I spent the entire day with them, experiencing mangrove canoeing in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon. The guides were incredibly kind and attentive, which made it easy to relax and enjoy. Both guides had extensive knowledge and experience, allowing us to learn while having fun, making it the best day ever.

I was worried about the weather, but they made sure we could enjoy ourselves no matter what the conditions were, so I was very satisfied!

マングローブカヌーandシュノーケリングに参加させていただきました。

率直にどちらのアクティビティも最高でした♪
午前はマングローブカヌー体験、午後はシュノーケリング体験と丸一日お世話になりましたが、とにかくガイドさんが親切丁寧で安心して楽しめた上に、どちらのガイドさんも経験知識が豊富で楽しみながら学ぶ事ができ最高の1日でした。

天候の心配もありましたが、どんな天気でも楽しめるよう対応していただいたので大満足です！

In the morning, I was moved by the great nature while kayaking through the mangroves✨ We entered narrow paths that felt like a maze, which was really interesting! During the free time, including lunch break, the guide introduced us to some recommended shops! After enjoying a leisurely meal, we had plenty of time to take a short stroll around the area! In the afternoon, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island and explored the island on foot🚶. There was just the right amount of free time here too! I had a fulfilling day filled with many first-time experiences!

午前中はマングローブカヤックで、大自然に感動しました✨細い道にも入り、迷路のようで面白かったです！
お昼休憩を含めた自由時間では、ガイドさんがおすすめのお店を紹介していただきました！
ゆっくり食べた後に周辺を少し散策できるくらい、十分に時間がありました！
午後は水牛車に乗って由布島へ行き、島を散策しました🚶ここでもちょうど良い自由時間でした！
初めての体験を沢山して、充実した1日でした！

If you check the time properly and take action, it's the best ticket. It costs more than the ticket price for a round trip to the northernmost cape, but this ticket will cover it.

きちんと時間を調べて行動すれば最高のチケットです。最北端の岬往復でチケット代以上かかりますがそれがこのチケットで間に合います。

I'm glad I was able to visit popular spots that are difficult to reach without a car in a compact one-day trip. Additionally, I was lucky to book at a great price during the Black Friday sale.

The Churaumi Aquarium is spacious with many attractions, and it took a lot of time just to travel back and forth from the bus parking lot. Even while eating the lunch I brought, I didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the exhibits.

Similarly, the American Village also had a distant bus parking lot, and I only had time to walk around and see the exterior of the buildings, which was disappointing as I couldn't go into the shops and relax.

The guide warned us, "If you miss the meeting time at each spot, you'll have to make your own way to the next sightseeing location," which made the participants gather quickly, causing the tour schedule to move ahead significantly. I would have appreciated it if we could have extended our stay at the American Village to the originally planned time.

車がないと行きにくい人気スポットを１日でコンパクトに回れて良かったです。
更に今回はブラックフライデーセールでお得価格で予約できてラッキーでした。
美ら海水族館は広くて見所が多く、バス駐車場からの往復移動にも時間がかかり、持参した昼食を食べながらの見学でも時間が足りませんでした。
アメリカンビレッジも同様にバス駐車場が遠く、建物外観を一通り見て回るくらいでお店に入ってゆっくりする時間がなく残念でした。
ガイドさんから「各スポットの集合時間に間に合わなかった人は自力で次の観光地点まで移動してください」と脅されていたこともあり参加者の集合が早くツアースケジュールがかなり前倒しで進んでいたので、最後のアメリカンビレッジ滞在を本来の予定時間まで延ばしてもらえるとありがたかったです。

The staff and equipment were great, and I was happy that I could easily put on the wetsuit. The transportation and the boat, as well as the consideration for participants, scored high points.

If I had to point out a weak point, it would be that since there were mostly inbound guests, it can't be helped, but the wetsuits and life jackets were too buoyant, making it feel like I wasn't swimming, and I thought some people might get seasick. The season was May, and it happened to be a bit cool, so the sea was slightly cold, but the visibility was excellent.

スタッフさんも機材も良くて、ウエットスーツがすらっと着れてよかったです。
送迎も船も、参加者への気遣いも高得点です。
あえてのウィークポイントは、インバウンド客ばかりだからいたしかたないんでしょうが、ウェットスーツ＆救命胴衣は、浮きすぎて泳いだ気がしないし海酔いする人もいるだろうなあ、と思った。
季節が5月でたまたま涼しかったので海は少し冷た目でしたが、透明度抜群でした。

While on a business trip, I wanted to do something Okinawan, so I signed up for a half-day snorkeling course. I was a bit anxious since I was participating alone and can't swim, but they carefully taught me how to use the life jacket and necessary equipment, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind as a beginner. Just getting into the water from the boat required a bit of courage, as it was quite deep.

The visibility was so clear that I could see all the way to the ocean floor just by putting my face in the water! The breathtaking scenery was truly moving. For the first 15 minutes, my mind was racing with thoughts like, "Wow, it's deep!" "I'm scared!" "It's so beautiful!" "Wait, how do I breathe again?!" "There are so many fish!" But with the instructor nearby, I felt reassured. Once I got used to it, I was able to let go of the float.

I learned that fish are attracted to the float, so I was able to see them up close. The instructor helped me spot three sea turtles by saying, "Here they are!" 🐢 It was so much fun, and the time flew by. I never expected to have such an emotional experience at over 40 years old.

If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you very much!

出張のついでに沖縄っぽいことがしたいと思い、シュノーケル半日コースを申込みました。一人で参加だったうえに泳げないので若干の不安はあったものの、ライフジャケットや必要な機材の使い方も丁寧に教えてくださったので初心者でも安心して楽しめました。※ボートから海に入るときだけちょっと勇気がいります。まぁまぁ深かったです。

水面からちょっと顔をつけるだけで海の底までハッキリ見えるほどの透明度！びっくりするほどの絶景で本当に感動しました。
※最初の15分は「深っ！」「怖っ！」「めっちゃキレイ！」「あれ？どーやって息するんやっけ？！」「めっちゃ魚おる！」と静かな海で脳内は大忙しでしたが、近くにインストラクターさんがいるので安心です。慣れると浮輪から手を離せるようになります。

魚も浮輪をみると寄ってくるそうで、間近で見ることができました。インストラクターさんが先にウミガメを探してここー！と教えてくれるのでウミガメも3匹拝めました🐢本当に楽しくてあっという間でした。40歳をすぎてこんなに感動できる体験があるとは思ってませんでした。

また機会があればぜひ参加させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございました。

Since I didn't rent a car, I decided to sign up for this tour. Although I encountered traffic on the way back, I was glad that I didn't have to drive myself, which made it less tiring. The staff who accompanied us took photos, and the driver was very pleasant, which made the experience really enjoyable.

レンタカーを借りなかったので、こちらのツアーに申し込みさせてもらいました。帰り道は渋滞にあいましたが、自分で運転することを考えたら疲れずに済んで良かったです。同行したスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、運転手さんも感じのいい方で、とても良かったです。

This year's rainy season started early, and the forecast predicted rain ☂️, but while traveling by bus, it rained a bit, and by the time we arrived at our destination, it had stopped, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing without using an umbrella. The view of Kabira Bay was amazing.

梅雨入りが今年は早くて予報では☂️でしたが🚌で移動中は降っても現地に着くと止んで傘を使わずに観光出来ました。川平湾の景色最高でした。

It was my first time snorkeling, but the staff were kind and made me feel safe. There were many beautiful fish. I didn't get to see any sea turtles that day, but if I have the chance, I would like to participate again.

初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切で安心してできました。
魚もたくさんいて、とてもキレイでした。
この日は、ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、機会があれば、また参加したいです。

I made a reservation for two dives, but I felt that the communication regarding which of the three locations we would be diving at and how long we would stay at each spot was a bit lacking. However, most of the participants were foreigners, which added to the feeling of being out of place. The refreshing and handsome instructor took photos with the sea turtles, and I was truly very satisfied with the experience. I would love to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

2ダイブで予約をしましたが、
3地点の内のどこでダイビングをするかとか、
ここで何分くらい滞在するのかとか、
情報伝達が少し雑な気もしましたが、
参加者の殆どが外国の方でアウェイ感もある中、
爽やかイケメンインストラクターさんが、
海亀との写真を撮ってくれて、
本当に大満足でした。
また機会があったら利用したいです。

The arrival at Ishigaki Airport and the issuance of the one-day bus pass purchased at the bus stop went very smoothly, and I arrived at the island terminal as scheduled!

石垣空港に到着からバス停で今回購入の1日バス乗車券発券まで非常にスムーズで離島ターミナルまで予定通り到着！

The weather was unfortunate, but it was a fulfilling tour. There were only a few of us that day, which gave it a private feel. Thank you to the guide for your thoughtfulness. This was my first trip in May, and indeed, Okinawa is ideal before the rainy season. Next time, I will definitely plan a trip by April.

お天気は残念でしたが、充実したツアーでした。当日は少人数でプライベート感有　ガイドさんお気づかい　ありがとうございました。
今回は初めての5月の旅行　やはり沖縄は梅雨入り前が理想的　次回は必ず4月までの旅行　計画たてます。

I think a bus tour that includes the attractions of Ishigaki Island, including Kabira Bay, is perfect for travelers who are unfamiliar with the island. Additionally, I used it on the last day, and it was possible to get off at Ishigaki Airport along the way, which allowed me to make full use of my time on the final day.

川平湾を含む石垣島の見所をバスツアーでまわれるので、島に不慣れな旅行者にはぴったりだと思います。
また、最終日に利用させていただき、途中石垣空港で下車も可能だったので、最終日の時間をフルに有効活用出来ました。
