All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

This bus tour is perfect for sightseeing on the island without a rental car. It also includes a delicious lunch. You can be dropped off at the airport on the way back.

レンタカーの予約無しで島の観光をしたい時にはピッタリのバスツアーです。美味しいランチもついてます。帰りは空港でおろしてもらえます。

My 6-year-old daughter went snorkeling for the first time!
At first, she was scared, but the staff were all very kind, and she had a great time!
She was able to touch creatures she usually doesn't encounter, like starfish and large sea cucumbers, and meeting a sea turtle was truly moving!
They took many photos, and we have so many wonderful memories, which makes us very happy!
For lunch, my daughter is quite picky, but there were several options, which was very helpful!

Thank you very much!

6歳の娘が初めてのシュノーケリングでした！
最初は怖がってたもののスタッフさんが皆さん優しくして頂きとても楽しんでいました！
ヒトデや大きなナマコなど普段接することの無い生き物に触れられたり、ウミガメに出会えて感動です！
お写真もたくさんとっていただき思い出がたくさんあってとてもうれしいです！
お昼のお弁当も好き嫌いの多い娘ですが、何種類かありとても助かりました！

ありがとうございました！

I participated in the Sunrise Canoeing and Blue Cave Snorkeling. I was a bit anxious since I was going alone, but I had a great time chatting with the local staff and other tour participants! I rode solo on a two-person canoe, but it was easy to operate and I was able to paddle steadily. For snorkeling, even if you can't swim, the staff will pull you along with a float, so I was able to finish without any injuries.

I want to join the tour again the next time I come to Okinawa!

サンライズカヌーと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
一人参加だったので不安でしたが現地スタッフの方を始め、他のツアーのお客さんとも仲良く会話しながら楽しく参加できました！
カヌーは二人用ボードに一人で乗りましたが操作は簡単で安定して漕ぐことができました。
シュノーケリングは泳げなくてもスタッフの方が浮きで引っ張ってくださるので最後まで怪我なく終えることができました。

次に沖縄に来た時もまたツアーに参加したいです！

The guide (Mr. Kiyuna) was easy to understand, and I was able to learn more about the current situation in Okinawa than what I see in newspapers and on TV. The driver was also kind, offering gentle words when getting on and off the bus, which made me happy. I usually don't use tourist buses when traveling, but I am grateful for this experience. I would like to visit Okinawa again! 😊

ガイドさん（喜友名様）のお話が分かりやすく、始めて訪れた沖縄の現状を新聞やテレビで見るより深く知ることができました。
運転手さんもバスの乗り降り時に優しく声をかけてくださり、嬉しかったです。旅行先で観光バスを利用しないのですが今回は乗せていただいて感謝しています。
また沖縄に行きたいと思っています😊

I signed up for this tour thinking it was perfect since we would depart at 9:30 and be taken directly to the airport. The view of Kabira Bay was even more stunning than in the photos, and our guide skillfully shared the history of Ishigaki Island and famous landmarks while singing joyfully. Their beautiful singing almost brought me to tears. The driver was also very reassuring and provided excellent service. The lunch was delicious and healthy as well. I would love to visit again next time. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

9時30分出発、直接空港へ送ってもらえるのでちょうどイイツアーだなと思い申し込みました。
川平湾の景色は写真よりも絶景で石垣島の所々の歴史や、有名建造物など楽しく上手に歌を歌いながらガイドさんが案内してくれました。
素敵な歌声で涙が出そうになりました。そして運転手さんもとても安心できるドライバーさんで接客も素晴らしかったです。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しく健康的なメニューでした。
また次回も訪れたいです。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

Every time I come to Okinawa, I participate in an aquarium tour, but this was my first time joining a tour that included Pineapple Park. It was quite an impressive park, and the weather was nice, so I really enjoyed it. There were plenty of sweets and souvenirs made with pineapple, which added to the tropical vibe. The guide shared fun stories the whole way there, so I wasn't bored on the bus. The cheerful and enjoyable bus guide made it a wonderful trip.

沖縄に来ると毎回水族館のツアーに参加していますが、パイナップルパークが組み込まれているツアー参加は今回が初でした。
なかなか見応えのあるパークで、天気もよかったので楽しめました。
パイナップルを使ったスイーツやお土産もたくさんあって南国気分をさらに味わえてよかったです。
ガイドさんも行きはずっと楽しいお話をしてくださって車内でも退屈しなかったです。
明るくて楽しいバスガイドさんでとても良い旅になりました。

Kabira Bay is amazing. I was able to see sea turtles. I would like to participate again when I come to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

川平湾最高です。ウミガメも見れました。石垣島に来た際はまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I was a bit confused about the ticket exchange location at the airport, but I was able to exchange it right away. On the day we went to the aquarium, the roads were congested and filled with a large number of tourists. Thanks to having purchased tickets in advance, we were able to enter smoothly, which was great.

空港でのチケット交換場所は少し迷いましたがすぐに交換出来ました。
水族館に行く当日は　道も渋滞していて大勢の観光客で溢れていました。
チケットを事前に購入していたお陰で入場もスムーズに入れ良かったです。

I exchanged my entry ticket at the airport and took the Resort Liner to the Royal View Hotel. The next morning, I entered the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium as soon as it opened. I was able to take my time exploring the usually crowded tanks. I thoroughly enjoyed the subtropical sea.

空港で入場券と引き換え、リゾートライナーでロイヤルビューホテルへ。翌朝、開館と同時に美ら海水族館に入館。いつも込んでいる水槽もこれでじっくり見学。亜熱帯の海を堪能できました。

The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.

明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです！ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。

The staff were all very kind and helpful. Although most of the guests were foreigners, it was a friendly and enjoyable day.

スタッフさんが皆様親切で助かりました。
外国人がほとんどでしたが和気あいあいで楽しい一日となりました。

It's very convenient as it efficiently takes you around the sightseeing spots on the island. You can enjoy it even without a rental car. The guide's explanations were very detailed and easy to understand, making it enjoyable. I think this local tour is especially recommended for older adults. The sightseeing bus was also large and very comfortable.

島内の観光名所を効率的に回ってくれるのでとても便利です。レンタカーが無くても、十分楽しめます。ガイドさんの説明も、とても詳細に分かりやすく楽しめました。年配者には特にお薦めの現地ツアーだと思います。観光バスも大きくてとても楽でした。

Went to the mangrove for canoeing in the morning, Akira is sweet and patient to demonstrate and guide throughout the trip. The mangrove itself is calm, I’m sure it’ll be more scenic when the weather is good.

Dropped off at ~11:30 for lunch (taco rice is great, thanks Akira!) then returned back to the pier for snorkeling in the blue cave. The undersea view is absolutely stunning and is so different to see from the water level. Sebastian is helpful and friendly to guide throughout the trip, thanks! A little suggestion is that it’s too short; perhaps some free exploration time would be better.

Overall, a great trip and quick response from the team. I booked the trip less than 24 hours before it started and still managed to get confirmation messages. It’s nothing easy, thanks for the quick response!

My first SUP experience, the tour through the mangroves allowed me to feel nature and refresh from within! The water buffalo had flowers wrapped around their horns, looking so cute! It was a wonderful healing trip, and I am very satisfied! ♪

人生初のsup、マングローブで自然を感じながらのツアーは体の中からリフレッシュできました！
水牛もツノにお花を巻いていて、可愛い見た目をしていました！
素晴らしい癒しの旅行となり、大満足です♪

Following my trip to Hawaii, I was also well taken care of during my time in Okinawa. The tour guide and the driver were kind and attentive. I traveled alone, but it was comfortable. It was a packed tour, so I highly recommend it for sightseeing in Okinawa. However, there were many overseas visitors, and the strong fragrance from the front row made it difficult for me throughout the day.

ハワイに続き、今回の沖縄でもお世話になりました。ツアー担当の方も運転手さんも親切で丁寧。一人旅で利用しましたが、快適でした。沢山詰め込んだツアーだったので大変沖縄観光ではオススメです。ただ、海外の方も多く、前列のフレグランスがきつくて、終日辛かった。

Last time I visited as part of a group tour, but this time I came individually, so I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. I saw the Eisa performance live for the first time, and it was powerful and amazing.

前回は団体旅行でしたが、今回は個人で訪れたのでゆったりと楽しめました。
エイサーを初めて生で見ましたが、迫力があり素晴らしかったです。

I think it would be better if you put more effort into things like caves, pottery, and glass-making. If things stay as they are, it won't be good. The Chinese Temple, the observation deck, and the food are not particularly unique. Why not start something more enjoyable? There's no sense of excitement at all. As it stands, you won't capture the hearts of young people, and it's not fun for the elderly either.

鍾乳洞　陶芸　ガラス作りとか
もつと工夫をしたらいいと思います　今のままではダメになりますよ　唐人の寺　展望台　食事も珍しく有りません　もっと楽しいこと始めません　ワクワク感がぜんぜんない　今のままで若い人の心掴めません　年寄りでも全然楽しくない

The kayaking and snorkeling at the Blue Cave were both amazing.

We had a private beach all to ourselves for the kayaking. Along the way, a drone flew by to take photos and videos.

I was able to leave my phone behind and relax, forgetting about time.

The snorkeling at the Blue Cave was the most wonderful experience I've had among all the snorkeling and diving I've done!

We swam to the cave, and the journey there was also great. The hospitality and guidance from our instructor, Kinjo, were 200% enjoyable.

The kids were able to spend time safely and securely.

I was surprised by the quality and quantity of the images and videos after the experience. I was happily shocked by how many there were!

Even after it was over, I could look back at the images and reminisce.

I would definitely love to do this again when I visit Okinawa.

カヤックも青の洞窟シュノーケリングも最高でした。

カヤックは人がいないプライベートビーチをなんと貸切で。
途中ドローンが飛んできて写真や画像を撮影してくれます。

ケータイも置いて時間を忘れてのんびり満喫できました。


青の洞窟シュノーケルは、今まで行ったシュノーケルやダイビングの中でもナンバーワンに素敵でした！

洞窟まで泳いでいくのですが、その道中もまた良くて。
インストラクターのキンジョウさんのホスピタリティ200%のトークや案内で楽しくドームイン。

子供も安心＆安全に過ごすことができました。

驚いたのか体験後の画像や動画の質と量です。
こんなに⁉︎と嬉しいビックリ。

終わった後も、画像を見返して思い出に浸れます。

沖縄に行く際にはまたぜひお願いしたいです。

I participated in a morning canoeing session and an afternoon tour of Yufu Island, and it was filled with unique experiences that became wonderful memories!

After arriving at Iriomote Island, we quickly boarded a bus for a 15-20 minute ride to the area near Urauchi Bridge. We put on life jackets and received paddle instructions in the parking lot. My child was given a smaller paddle. It had been about 15 years since I last canoed, so I was a bit anxious, but since the shallow areas allowed the paddle to reach the ground, I felt reassured. My child wasn't sure what to expect, but they were able to sit in the front or middle, and there was no sign of them falling overboard. However, they seemed to dislike the water dripping from my paddle when it was raised, crying loudly and continuously saying, "I want to go home!" (laughs). I think it would be a lot of fun for children who enjoy water.

We were taken to a tunnel-like area thick with mangroves, and although we occasionally bumped into the mangroves, it was enjoyable, and we could paddle while taking in the scenery. On the way back, we were told that we could actually get off the canoe in the river, and those who wanted to got off right there and approached the mangroves (it was only knee-deep, so there was no fear at all). It was a truly valuable experience, and I had a lot of fun.

While my child was crying the whole time, another participant's mother kindly said, "This child used to cry all the time too," and seeing a boy who wasn't crying at all made me feel that he had grown up strong. I thought that one day, we would look back and laugh about times like this. Although we were only together for that moment, I felt that there was a sense of unity that comes with being part of a tour, which is one of its charms.

I also really enjoyed the water buffalo cart and Yufu Island!

午前カヌー午後由布島観光に参加しましたが、ここでしか出来ない体験だらけで大変良い思い出になりました！

西表島に到着後バスにすぐ乗り、15-20分バスで浦内橋付近まで。
ライフジャケットを着て駐車場でパドルの説明を受けます。子どもには小さいパドルをいただきました。
カヌーは約15年ぶり2回目で不安でしたが浅瀬で何かあればパドルが地面に届くので安心でした。子どもはどうなるのかイメージが湧いておりませんでしたが、前か真ん中に座ることが出来、落ちそうな気配もありませんでした。ただ、親のパドルが上になったときにポタポタ落ちる水が嫌だったような大泣き。終始「家に帰りたい〜」と叫んでいました笑　水が好きなお子さんでしたらとても楽しいと思います。
マングローブがたくさん生い茂るトンネルのようなところまで連れていってもらい、たまにマングローブにぶつかることもありましたがそれはそれで楽しく、景色を楽しみながら漕ぐことができました。
帰り道では実際に川の中でカヌーから降りてもいいですよと言ってもらい、降りたい人はその場で降りてマングローブに近づいていました（膝程度なので全く怖さはありませんでした）　とっても貴重な体験ができ本当に楽しかったです。
子どもが終始号泣していると、他のツアー参加者のお母様が「この子もいつも泣いてたのよー」と声をかけてくださり、全く泣いてない男の子を見て、成長した姿がたくましく見え、いつかこんな時もあったと笑えるんだろうなと感じました。その時だけの方々でしたが、ツアーだとなんとなく一体感が生まれるのが醍醐味だなと感じました。

水牛車も由布島も大変楽しめました！

When I arrived in the early afternoon, it was really crowded, and I couldn't see what I wanted to see, so I returned in the evening to take my time and enjoy it. The ticket pickup was quick and smooth.

お昼すぎに到着したときはすごい人で観たいものが観られず、夕刻再訪問してじっくり鑑賞しました。
チケット受け取りはあっという間にスムーズにできました。

I think it's content that beginners can fully enjoy!
It was my first time trying SUP, and I was lucky enough to see the sunrise, which was amazing!
I also enjoyed snorkeling without any difficulty, and the sea was very beautiful; I even got to see a sea turtle.

I was a bit worried because the life jacket I wore had two out of three buckles broken.
I also thought it would be great if I could provide more details about my height, weight, desired size, and swimming ability when making a reservation in advance.

The staff were very friendly, and it was a tour that made me want to do it again if I have the chance!

初心者でも充分楽しめる内容だと思います！
SUPは初めてでしたが、日の出も運良く見ることができ最高でした！
シュノーケルも難なく楽しめ、海もとても綺麗でウミガメも見ることができました。

私が着用したライフジャケットが、留め具が3箇所中2箇所壊れていて少し不安でした。
また身長や体重、希望のサイズ、泳げるか、なども事前に予約時に詳しく記載できればいいなぁと思いました。

スタッフの方もとても気さくで、また機会があったら是非やりたいと思えるようなツアーでした！

Since I participated from within Naha City, it turned into a long tour from morning until night.

I was satisfied that we could efficiently visit the places I wanted to see. It would have been tough to arrange everything on my own. If I had used a rental car, I would have been exhausted.

During the travel, I could rest and even sleep.

那覇市内から参加したので朝から夜までの長時間なツアーになりました

観光したい場所を効率よく回れて満足です
自分で一つ一つ手配するのは大変です
レンタカーを使用したとすれば疲れてしまったでしょう

移動中は休めるし寝ることも出来ます

I'm glad I was able to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island. It was rainy, but I had a great time. The guide was humorous and a nice person.

美ら海水族館や古宇利島へ行けて良かったです。雨模様でしたが楽しめました。ガイドさんもユーモアがあって良い方でした。

I was surprised by the size. The aquarium was nice, but the flowers in the botanical garden were beautiful, and I was surrounded by a lovely fragrance. I think I might have needed a little more time.

広さにびっくりしました。
水族館もよかったのですが、植物園の花が綺麗で、素敵な香りにつつまれました。
ちょっと時間がたりなかったかなーと思います。

The weather was great, and I had an amazing time! The guide, Yume, provided clear explanations on the mangroves and how to paddle a canoe. We also took a lot of photos, which became wonderful memories!

天気も良く最高に楽しめました！ガイドのユメさんのマングローブやカヌーの乗り方の説明も分かりやすかったです。写真も沢山撮って頂き良い思い出になりました！

I often use the bus since I don't drive, and it takes me to various places.

There are many customers from abroad, but the tour guide is fluent in English, which is reassuring.

However, at the Churaumi Aquarium, many people couldn't find the bus stop for the return trip and missed the meeting time. I think it would be better to provide a map of the meeting place along with a note of the meeting time.

車の運転しなくて、バスでいろんなところに連れてってくれるからよく利用します。

外国からのお客様も多いですが、添乗員さんが英語堪能なので、それも安心。

ただ、美ら海水族館では帰りのバスの場所が分からなくなって、集合時間を守れない人が多数いて、集合時間のメモとともに集合場所の地図も渡したほうが良いのでは、と思いました。

I was able to make a reservation before boarding the plane, and while waiting for my luggage at the airport, I went ahead to the information desk and managed to pick up my ticket just in time by 6 PM. Since I had already paid with my card for the reservation, it was smooth and convenient to just pick it up. I also entered the aquarium without any hassle. Reservations are required, but I highly recommend the backstage tour.

飛行機乗る前に予約でき、空港到着して荷物受け取りを待つ時間、私だけ先にでて、案内所に向かい、ギリギリ18時までになんとかチケットを受け取れました。
事前予約は、カード払いで支払いを済ませてるので、受け取るだけだからスムーズでありがたいです。
水族館の入館もスムーズに入れました。
予約がいりますが、バックヤードツアーがオススメですよ。

I wanted to go to Kabira Bay, so I joined a bus tour that was more affordable than taking a taxi. The tour itself wasn't bad, but my child seemed a bit bored. The time spent at each stop was also short, so I think those who want to take their time would enjoy a private taxi more.

川平湾に行きたくて、タクシーよりお手頃なバスツアーに参加しました。ツアー自体は悪くありませんでしたが、子供は少し退屈そうでした。立ち寄るポイントでの滞在時間も短かかったので、ゆっくり回りたい人はタクシー貸切の方が楽しめると思います。

We participated with children. The main goal was Pineapple Park, as requested by the kids (which I think is unusual, haha). After receiving an explanation from the staff, while we were buying the cart tickets, a tour bus with an overseas group arrived, and since they already had their cart tickets, they cut in line ahead of us.

50 minutes wasn't enough time, and we rushed past the souvenir shop without being able to see it. Although it was a short time, I'm glad the kids seemed satisfied. The bus guide was also very kind, and we had a fun day. Since we didn't have a rental car, the bus tour was a great help. Thank you very much.

子連れで参加しました。子供の希望でパイナップルパークが一番の目的でした。（珍しいと思いますが(^^;)）店員さんの説明を受けてからカートのチケットを買っていたら海外の団体バスツアーが到着してしまい、その団体さんはすでにカートチケットを持っていた為、並び列が抜かされてしまいました。
50分では時間が足らず、お土産屋さんは見られず駆け足で通り過ぎました。短い時間でしたが子供は満足したようで良かったです。
バスガイドさんもとても親切で一日楽しく過ごせました。レンタカーがないのでバスツアーとても助かりました。ありがとうございました。

I had a very fulfilling day on a packed sightseeing tour. I felt safe participating even as a solo female traveler. The guide's instructions and smile were wonderful.

盛りだくさんな観光ツアーで、大変充実した一日を過ごすことができました。女性一人でも安心して参加できました。ガイドさんの案内も笑顔も素敵でした。
