All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

Yuki, our guide, provided a wonderful tour! Thanks to him, it became the best memory!

When you come to Ishigaki Island, be sure to join a snorkeling tour!

ガイドのユウキさんが素晴らしいツアーをしてくれました！
おかけで最高の思い出になりました！

石垣島に来る時は是非シュノーケリングツアーに参加してください！

It was easy to get around to various places! There weren't many buses, so there were some time constraints, but it was convenient not having to deal with payments each time. When I showed the driver my screen to exchange the voucher, he asked, "Did you buy this?" which was a bit frustrating since I was showing it because I had bought it, but I was able to exchange it without any issues.

色んなところを周れて楽でした！
バスの本数があまりないので時間の制約はありましたが、毎回支払いする手間もなく便利です。
最初にバウチャーを交換してもらうため、お願いしますと運転手さんに画面を見せると「これ買ったの？」と…買ったから見せてるんだよとモヤッとしましたが、無事引き換えてもらいました。

The weather was nice, and I was able to see wonderful scenery. On Kouri Island, if you're lucky while crossing the return bridge, you can see sea turtles from the bus. Unfortunately, I was sitting on the opposite side, so I couldn't see them. 😢

There were a few hectic moments, but I had a great time enjoying Okinawa.

お天気も良く素晴らしい景色が見れました。
古宇利島では帰り橋を渡る時運が良ければバスの中から海亀が見れます。私は残念ながら反対に座ってたので見れませんでした😢

少しバタバタする所もありますが凄く楽しく沖縄を満喫しました。

There were various participants, some who were not comfortable in confined spaces or were trying snorkeling for the first time and felt anxious about swimming, but thanks to the thoughtful care provided, everyone was able to relax and enjoy themselves throughout the experience. The exploration of the beautiful and mysterious sea was fantastic! I highly recommend it!

閉所が苦手だったりシュノーケリングが初体験で泳ぎも不安だったり、いろんな方が参加されていましたが、細やかな気遣いで皆安心して終始楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
とても綺麗で神秘的な海の探検、サイコーでした！オススメです！

My first trip to Ishigaki Island was a solo journey, and since it was during the rainy season, I chose a bus tour. In the end, it was a great decision! I was able to see the famous spots of Ishigaki Island in half a day, and the guide's explanations about each location, as well as the history, industry, and culture of Ishigaki Island, were clear and enjoyable. Fortunately, the weather was sunny, and the view of Kabira Bay was amazing! I got to look at the coral reefs through a glass-bottom boat and even saw sea turtles. I truly enjoyed the charm of Ishigaki Island!

初めての石垣島、しかも一人旅だったのと雨期に入ってたのでバスツアーを選びました。
結果的に、大正解でした！
石垣島の名所を半日で見ることができ、ガイドさんの各スポットの説明や、石垣島の歴史・産業・文化のお話などが分かりやすくて楽しめました。
幸い、快晴で川平湾の景色はサイコウでした！
グラスボートでサンゴ礁の海の中を眺めて、ウミガメも見られました。
石垣島の魅力を堪能できました！

It was the best experience we had during Okinawa trip.
We were lucky and on the selected day there was only us 2 who was diving. Instructions were very clear and there was no language barrier. We booked 2 dives and it was perfect choice, as during 1st one you can feel nervous but during the 2nd dive it should be much easier. Instructor was leading the way trough the water and it was easy to follow and I felt safe because of it.
We even could see a Turtle underwater! So everything was perfect.

I'm glad we were able to visit various places by bus, including those that are not accessible by car. It was great to go to Kawahira Park and see fish while on the glass-bottom boat. We were able to see sea turtles as well.

バスで、色々な場所、車でないと行かれない場所など行って頂き良かったです、川平公園、グラスボート行かれ魚見られ良かったです、ウミガメは見られた、

It was the perfect weather just before the rainy season! I participated with my daughter! The friendly staff provided great support, and my daughter enjoyed her first experience swimming in the ocean and snorkeling, creating wonderful memories! The changing room was bright and spacious, so it was fine for the two of us to use it together!

梅雨入りの前の最高のお天気日和でした！
娘をつれて参加しました！爽やかなスタッフがサポートしてくださって、安心して初めての海の泳ぎ、シュノーケルを娘も楽しめてよい思い出になりました！
更衣室も明るくて広かったので2人で入っても大丈夫でした！

I participated alone, but we traveled by boat for about 10 minutes to get close to the cave. Thankfully, there was one instructor assigned to each group.

I was moved by the beautiful, clear sea and the mysterious blue world that spread inside the cave. They took high-quality photos for us, allowing us to capture many wonderful moments that will stay in our hearts.

Additionally, the facility was well-equipped with hot showers and lockers, making it very comfortable. I was worried about handling my car keys when going to the sea. However, there were locked lockers available, and the keys could be safely stored at the shop, so my concerns turned out to be unnecessary.

Above all, the instructor was very kind and made the day a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

ひとりで参加しましたが、ボートで約10分かけて洞窟の近くまで移動します。ありがたいことに1組にひとりのインストラクターが付き添ってくれます。

透明度の高い美しい海、洞窟内に広がる神秘的な青の世界に感動しました。高画質カメラで撮影してもらい、たくさんの心に残る素敵な瞬間を記録することができました。

また、店舗には温水シャワーやロッカーなど充実した施設が整っていて、とても快適でした。 海に行く際、車のキーの扱いについて不安に思っていました。しかし、鍵付きロッカーが設置されており、鍵はお店で安全に保管してもらえるため、訪れてみるとその心配は杞憂に終わりました。

何より、担当のインストラクターの方がとても親切で、一日を最高の思い出にしてくれました。本当にありがとうございました。

Compared to other tours, it was quite affordable, so I was a bit worried, but the guide was very kind and helpful. He also sent us photos for free via AirDrop, and took a lot of pictures for us. The sea in May was quite cold, and my wife ended up cramping, but the guide was very supportive.

他のツアーに比べると、かなり安かったので心配でしたが、ガイドのお兄さんもやさしく、すごく親切でした。
写真もエアドロップで無料で送ってくれますし、いっぱい写真もとってもらいました。
5月の海は結構水温が低く、ワイフは足がつってしまいましたが、ガイドのお兄さんがやさしくサポートしてくれました。

If you purchase a one-day ticket or a round-trip airport ticket on-site, it only accepts cash, so if you know the date you will use it, it's better to buy it in advance through Veltra. By simply showing the purchase screen, you can exchange it for a boarding pass and also use your credit card for point redemption.

一日券や空港往復券は現地バスで購入すると現金のみ対応なので使う日が決まっていれば予めベルトラでの購入が得です。購入画面を提示するだけで乗車券とひきかえポイント消費もクレジットカード利用もできます。

I think the bus guide provided a lot of information, and we were able to visit many tourist spots, which was very satisfying. On the other hand, the time spent at each location was quite short, giving a busy impression. I think it might be okay to skip the Okashi Goten, as there are many locations on Kokusai Street and at the airport. In fact, I didn't buy anything since it would just become extra luggage.

バスガイドさんの情報量が多く、観光地もたくさん回れたため満足感はとてもあると思う。その一方で、一つ一つの箇所の時間が短いので結構忙しい印象。
御菓子御殿は削ってもいいのではないかと思う。国際通りや空港にもたくさんあるので。実際手荷物になるので何も買わなかった。

It was a place I had been to once before, but I was glad to participate as there was new fun to be had. However, at every location, I enjoyed myself so much that there wasn't enough time.

一度は行ったことがある場所でしたが、新たな楽しさがあって参加してよかったです

ですが、どの場所でも、楽しみすぎて時間が足りなかったです

I went for my birthday and it was a nice experience. The current was a little bit strong so we went to a different area for snorkeling. It is perfect for beginners or if it’s your first time snorkeling. Staff was so nice.

I participated with one other person, and it was my very first time. The explanations were very kind and thorough, and even when I felt anxious about having difficulty breathing after entering the water, there was solid support, allowing me to focus on the fish and the beautiful sea! Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but the cave was very blue, and there were plenty of fish, making it truly enjoyable! I was also happy that they took a lot of photos and that I could access the data right away! The facilities, including the hot shower and hairdryer, were well-equipped, making it comfortable until the end! I would love to use this service again when I come to Okinawa!

Thank you very much! ✨✨✨

2名で参加、私は全くの初めてでした。
とても優しく丁寧に説明してくださり、入水後に息がしづらくて不安になってもしっかりサポートがあったので魚や綺麗な海に集中できました！
生憎の曇りでしたが、洞窟もとても青く、魚もたくさんで本当に楽しかったです！
写真もたくさん撮ってくださってデータもすぐにアクセスできたのも嬉しかったです！
温水シャワーやドライヤーなど設備もしっかりしていて最後まで快適でした！
また沖縄に来た際には利用したいです！

本当にありがとうございました✨✨✨

It was my first experience with canoeing, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment as the guides were very kind and attentive, running alongside us and leading the way. I participated alone, but I was warmly supported, for which I am grateful. The bus driver was also friendly, providing guidance along the way and addressing each family by name. It was a wonderful tour. Thank you very much! ♪

カヌー初体験でしたがとても親切丁寧に並走したり導いてくださったりでやり遂げ感がありとても有意義な時を過ごせました。1人参加でしたが温かく見守ってくださり感謝です。バス送迎の方も親切で途中の道々のガイドをしながらファミリーごとの名前で話しかけてくださったりとてもよいツアーでした。ありがとうございました♪

Since I knew it would rain from the morning, I thought I would get by visiting tourist spots by bus. It didn't seem like the rain would stop, and the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was canceled, which was a bit disappointing. However, the guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I wasn't bored. When we arrived at Kabira Bay, there wasn't a single person around, and only a few glass-bottom boats were floating in the bay. There were no staff members, and it was very quiet. It felt surreal. Previously, I had visited on a sunny day and seen a lively scene, so I was instead healed by the calmness of Kabira Bay. I thought it would be nice to slowly enjoy a coffee while looking at this scenery. There are ways to enjoy rainy days too.

朝から雨と分かってたので、バスで観光地巡りで凌ごうと思いました。雨は止みそうに無いし、川平湾のグラスボートは中止となって「何だかなぁ〜」でもガイドさんのお話しも分かりやすくて退屈はしませんでした。そして川平湾に着くと人っ子一人居なくて湾の中にグラスボートだけ何隻か浮かんでる。スタッフも誰も居なくてとっても静か。幻想的でした。以前、晴れの日に来て賑やかな光景を観てたので逆に穏やかな川平湾に癒されました。この風景を見ながらゆっくりコーヒーを飲みたいなあーと思いました。雨の日の楽しみ方も有るんですね。

I had an amazing time. It was the best trip.
The guides were especially kind and helpful, which made me feel very at ease.
We are foreigners and not very good at Japanese, so I initially felt anxious, but the guides were gentle and provided solid guidance. Thank you very much.
I look forward to next time as well.

めっちゃ楽しかった。最高な旅でした。
特にガイドさんたちは優しくて親切で対応してくれて、とても安心されました。
私たちは外国人だけど、日本語があまり上手じゃない為、最初に不安な気持ちが持っていたがガイドさんたちは優しくてしっかり指導してくれて、ありがとうございました。
また、次回もよろしくお願いします。

I made a reservation the day before, but I was able to participate smoothly! I had my child with me, but we enjoyed it without any issues. I was looking for a way to get from the hotel to Churaumi Aquarium and found this option. Since our time was limited, we couldn't see everything, but we were able to visit the indoor aquarium and see the sea turtles and manta rays without any problems! It was great to see the whale shark feeding as well.

We stopped at Pineapple Park along the way, which had dinosaurs, and my child had a lot of fun! The guide was also very kind!

前日の予約でしたが、スムーズに参加できました！子連れでしたが、問題なく楽しめました。なんとかホテルからちゅら海水族館に行けないかと探していたところこちらを見つけました。滞在時間が限られてたので全部周ることはできなかったですが、室内の水族館と外のウミガメとマンタは問題なくまわれました！ジンベイザメの餌やりも見ることができてよかったです。
途中で止まったパイナップルパークは恐竜もいたりして子供は楽しめました！
ガイドさんもとても優しかったです！

I went on a long-awaited experience dive, and the staff guided me carefully, allowing me to dive with peace of mind. I had a great time encountering various sea creatures.

久しぶりの体験ダイビングをしました、スッタフさんに丁寧に案内して頂き
安心してダイビングできました、様々な海の生き物に出会え楽しかったです。

I think the beauty of the sea's color is in the northern part of Ishigaki Island, but even with not-so-great weather, the sea at Kabira Bay was very beautiful. They take you directly to the spots where you can see the corals and marine life.

海の色の綺麗さは、石垣島北部だと思うのですが、天候があまり良くなくても、川平湾の海はとても綺麗でした。
海の中のサンゴや生き物のいる所へ、ピンポイントで連れて行ってくれます。

It's not the tour's fault, but bad weather in Okinawa can be disappointing. The scenery and the sea lose their colors. However, Churaumi Aquarium was enjoyable regardless of the rain.

ツアーのせいではないんだけど　沖縄で天気が悪いと萎える。
景色も海も色が違ってしまうから。
でも　美ら海は雨が関係ないので楽しかったです。

The staff were all knowledgeable and provided thorough explanations, which made us feel at ease as first-time snorkelers, and it was really great! The female staff member's explanations were easy to understand! I was super excited when the male staff member dove down and brought up a sea cucumber! I tried to dive too, but I couldn't do it at all because of the water pressure, and I was really impressed! The marble was fast and so much fun! The driver noticed a sea turtle along the way and stopped, which made me really happy since it was my first sea turtle sighting. I was also touched that he was paying attention to such things while driving; I wanted to ride more! Thank you for taking so many pictures!!! It became the best memory!♡ This time, the weather wasn't clear, which was a bit disappointing (but the sea was beautiful, and I realized how gorgeous the waters of Okinawa are), so I would like to ask this shop again when I plan a comeback! Thank you!

スタッフの方が皆さん知識があり事前の説明も丁寧で、シュノーケリング初の私たちとしては安心できとても良かったです！
女性のスタッフの方の説明わかりやすかった！
男性スタッフの方が素潜りでナマコを取ってきてくださったのがめちゃテンション上がりました（笑）簡単に潜っていったから自分も潜ってみようとしたのですが水圧でまっっったくできなくて、すご！！！！って感動してました(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
マーブル速くてめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです(^^)運転手の方が途中でウミガメに気付いてくださって止まってくれて初ウミガメだったので嬉しかったし、運転しながらそんなところまで見てくれてるところに感動しました、もっと乗りたかった（笑）写真もたくさん撮ってくださりありがとうございました！！！最高の思い出になりました♡
今回は天気が晴天ではなく少し残念だったので（それでも海は綺麗で沖縄の海の綺麗さを実感しましたが）またリベンジする際はこちらのお店にお願いしたいです！ありがとうございました！

I participated a few years ago, and this is my second time. The guide's pleasant voice was nice. There was no sanshin and singing this time, but the explanations about the sights were thorough. During the first visit, I was able to see the primeval forest, but this time it was just from the car window. For lunch, the main dish, hamburger? or tsukune?, was too sticky for my taste, but the simmered dishes were very delicious. The portion of white rice was small and left me wanting more.

数年前に参加して今回は2回目です。
ガイドさんの心地よい声がよかったです。三線と歌は今回はなかったですがその分、観光の説明が丁寧でした。
１回目は原生林も見学出来たのですが今回は車窓でした。
昼食はメインのハンバーグ？つくね？がねっとりしてて口に合いませんでしたが煮物はとても美味しかったです。白米の量が少なく物足りなかったです。

I preferred the aquarium in the past. But now there are too many walking tours, which is tiring. The sightseeing course leading to the aquarium isn't enjoyable at all; is it really necessary? I think it would be better to just focus on the aquarium. I believe tours that only waste time are unnecessary.

水族館館は昔の方が好きです
でも今は歩くにが多すぎるので
疲れる
水族館に行くまでの観光コースは
ぜんぜん楽しく無い要らないのでは❓
シンプルに水族館だけの方が
良いのではないか　時間稼ぎばかりのツアー不要だと思う

As someone without a car, the unlimited ride pass was very helpful! I only had to show the proof of purchase on my smartphone once, and the driver exchanged it for a paper ticket, so after that, it was easy to just show that.

車がない身としては乗り放題パスはありがたかったです！
一度だけスマホで購入証明を見せれば、運転手さんが紙のチケットと引き換えてくれたので、以降はそれを見せるだけで簡単でした。

I had to change my reservation date before going, which was quite a hassle, but they responded graciously. On the day of the diving, I knew I couldn't board the plane, but I wasn't aware of the time constraints. I was very anxious since it had been 25 years since my last dive, but I was able to complete two dives as planned and had a great time. The three-dimensionality and scale of the coral reef are something you can't experience with snorkeling, so I'm glad I did it.

行く前に予約日をずらしてもらったり、随分面倒かけましたが、快く対応してくれました。
ダイビング当日、飛行機に搭乗できないのは知っていましたが、時間の制約まであるとは知りませんでした。
25年ぶりのダイビングでとても不安でしたが、予定通り2ダイブし、楽しく終了できました。
珊瑚礁の立体感やスケールの大きさは、シュノーケルでは味わえないので、やってよかったです。

I am filled with heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to have my first experience in life.

Seeing fish that I've only seen in an aquarium in real life was amazing! This experience, at over 50 years old, has become a treasure for me.

Thank you to the captain and all the guides for your care.

人生初体験をさせていただき心からありがとうございますって想いでいっぱいです♡

水族館でしか見たことない魚を生で𐤔𐤔𐤔見れたこと
50過ぎての経験は宝物になりました。

船長さんを始め、ガイドの皆様方お世話になりました。

During the journey, you shared little stories and taught us various things about Ishigaki Island, which was enjoyable! It was also great that you played the sanshin for us.

移動のときも小話をしてくださって、石垣島のことをいろいろ教えてください、楽しかったです！三線を引いてくださるのも良かったです。

妻と私は素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました！私にとって初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても簡単で楽しかったです。

特に、ガイドのディエゴはイケメンで、すべてをとても簡単に説明してくれました。彼のおかげでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。そして、ディエゴの助けで海蛇を見ることができました。

このアクティビティを強くお勧めします。

追伸：イケメンのディエゴは運転中に石垣島の歴史を説明してくれました。それが土地を理解するのに役立ちました。

My wife and me could make awesome memory! It was my first snorkeling but it was so easy and a lot of fun.

Especially, our guide Diego, ikemen, explains everthing so easy. It help me to enjoy snorkeling. And, I could see a sea snake with Diego's help.

I strongly recommend this activity.

P. S. The ikeman explain Ishigaki's history while driving. It help me to understand the land.
