All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

Even though it's for 5 days, you can actually use it for 120 hours, so it's fine for a 5-night, 6-day stay. You can make up for it with the round trip to the airport and the round trip to Kabira Bay.

5日間と言ってもしょうみ120時間利用可能なので、5泊6日でも大丈夫です。
空港往復と川平湾往復で元が取れます。

It was a wonderful plan where an instructor was assigned to our group, allowing even those who are not good at swimming to enjoy it with peace of mind! The moments when fish swam right by us or when we fed them made me feel just like Ariel!! I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

グループに1人インストラクターの方がついてくださり、泳ぐのが苦手な子でも安心して楽しめる素敵なプランでした！魚がすぐ近くを横切ったり、餌をあげたりする瞬間はまるでアリエルになったような気分になれました！！機会があればまた参加したいと思います！

I stayed in Ishigaki Island for two weeks and used this service. It's convenient because I don't have to pay each time. I'm grateful that Ishigaki Island has a well-developed bus system.

石垣島で2週間旅行で滞在したので、利用しました。その都度支払わなくて良いので便利です。石垣島はバス路線が充実してるのでありがたいです。

The guide, who was knowledgeable about the history and information of Okinawa, shared stories while incorporating songs. I felt like I gained a lot of insights. With a well-balanced schedule, we spent the whole day exploring, and I think this price is a great deal. The driver was also very friendly and accommodating, and I appreciated their help.

沖縄の歴史や情報に詳しいガイドさんが、歌などもまじえつつ、ずっとお話しして下さいました。色々わかって得した気分。程よい時間配分で、丸一日まわって、このお値段はお得だと思います
運転手さんにも、ニコニコと融通をきかせて下さりお世話になりました。

I frequently use the bus on Ishigaki Island, so I definitely take advantage of this free pass. It's very convenient for visiting tourist spots and doing some shopping.

私は石垣島ではバスを結構利用するのでこのフリーパスを必ず利用しています。観光地やちょっとした買い物に行くときもバスを利用するのでとても便利です。

I wanted to purchase tickets for the Churaumi Aquarium in advance, and I found that I could buy them at a lower price and also receive the tickets upon arrival at the airport. Since I was traveling with children, this was very helpful!

I would like to use this service again when I go back.

事前に美ら海水族館のチケットを購入したいと思い調べたところ、いくらか安く購入できて
尚且つ、空港到着時にチケットを受け取れました。
子連れだったこともあり
とても助かりました！

また行く時は利用したいと思います。

It's incredibly convenient since it can be used for five days, and you'll quickly get your money's worth! When you show the screen while boarding, you receive a ticket, and after that, you just need to show the ticket when getting on and off, so it's easy.

5日間使えるのですごい便利ですぐに元が取れます！乗る時に画面見せたらチケットもらえて、それ以降は乗降時にチケット見せるだけなので楽です

It's often difficult to withdraw cash while traveling. In such situations, being able to purchase a convenient cashless free pass is greatly appreciated. Just making a simple round trip to major tourist spots covers the cost.

旅先では思うように現金を引き出しできないもの。
そのような中でキャッシュレスで便利なフリーパスを購入できるのは大変有り難いです。
主要観光地を単純往復するだけで元が取れます。

Due to the weather, the tour was held at a different location than originally planned. It was my first time doing stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, but the instructions were very thorough, so I had a great time! It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Okinawa!

天候の関係で元のツアーとは別の場所で催行とのことでした。
supやシュノーケルは初めてでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださったので、とても楽しめました！
沖縄旅行のいい思い出になりました！

I arrived at the airport the day before the experience and was able to pick up my tickets at the counter right in front of the arrival lobby. Thanks to that, I was able to enter without waiting in line, and it was a wonderful experience. The main aquarium is always crowded, but it is impressive and enjoyable from any angle.

体験日の前日に空港に到着し、到着ロビーのすぐ目の前のカウンターでチケットを受け取れました。
おかげで並ぶことなく入場することができ、素敵な体験でした。
メインの水槽は常に人が多いですが、どの角度から見ても楽しめて圧巻です。

In the morning, I rode a water buffalo to Yufu Island. On the island, I was able to touch the water buffalo and feed them. I also saw beautiful butterflies and enjoyed delicious gelato, which made me very satisfied.
For lunch, I returned to Uehara Port and had a meal. I was able to get information about various shops, making it easy to choose.
In the afternoon, I enjoyed the mangrove nature by canoe. The weather wasn't that great, but it was so much fun that it didn't matter.
I want to come back!

午前は水牛に乗って由布島へ。島では水牛に触れたり、餌をあげることもできました。綺麗な蝶もみれたし、美味しいジェラートも食べれて満足です。
昼は上原港に戻って、昼食を。いろいろなお店の情報を聞けたので、選びやすかったです。
午後はカヌーでマングローブの自然を楽しみました。天候はそれほどよくありませんでしたが、それが気にならないぐらい楽しかったです。
また来たい！

I stayed near Maesari Beach, and since it was an unlimited ride, I was able to visit various shops in the city. At the bus terminal's shop, I occasionally came across famous salt rice crackers.

真栄里ビーチ付近に滞在したのですが、乗り放題なので街なかの色々なお店に行けました。バスターミナルの売店ではたまに有名塩せんべいに出会えます

The course with a steak dinner was a meager steak dinner. With 5,000 yen, there are plenty of delicious meat restaurants on International Street.

ステーキディナー付きコース、貧素なステーキディナーでした。5000円あれば国際どうりで肉料理店美味しい店いっぱいある。

I was able to paddle through the mangrove river for the first time on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP)! The accommodation was near the island terminal, and they picked me up. On the way to the river, the guide shared stories about the weather in Ishigaki Island, the history of the town, and local agricultural products. I also learned about the mangroves during the nature guide session on the river. I fell off the board once while paddling, but I had a great time! I'm 59 years old, and since I will be subject to age restrictions next year, I'm glad I could do this this time.

マングローブの川を初めてのSUPで進むことが出来ました♪宿が離島ターミナルの近くで、お迎えに来てもらい、川までの道中はガイドさんから石垣島の天候や街の歴史、農産物の話を聞け、川ではマングローブ（ひるぎ）のネイチャーガイドも聞けました。SUPでは一度落ちましたが、とても楽しめました‼️私は59歳で来年は年齢制限にかかるので今回出来て良かったです。

This time, I participated in stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. The SUP in the clear waters of Kabira Bay was incredibly refreshing. The instructor was very attentive, making it enjoyable even for beginners!

Although the wind picked up at one point, the guide helped pull us along, so even those without much stamina can participate with peace of mind. The snorkeling was also fantastic; I was very satisfied to see beautiful coral reefs and fish! I was especially moved to see a clownfish up close; it was so cute!

Both activities allowed us to take many beautiful photos, so I was able to capture these memories. Thank you very much for this experience!

今回は川平湾のsupと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。
川平湾の透き通った海でのsupはすごく気持ちよかったです。丁寧に教えてくださったので初心者でも楽しめました！
途中、風が強くなりましたが、ガイドの方が引っ張ってくれるので体力に自信がない人でも安心して参加できます。
シュノーケリングも綺麗なサンゴ礁やお魚たちを見れて大満足でした！カクレクマノミも近くで見ることができて可愛くて感動しまし
た！
どちらの活動でも綺麗な写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、思い出を写真に残すことができました。
この度はありがとうございました！

I experienced canoeing and sightseeing on Yubu Island. It was my first time on Iriomote Island, but thanks to the guide's extensive knowledge, I feel like I learned a bit more about the island and the mangroves.

In the morning, I enjoyed the nature of the mangrove forest while canoeing. I was a bit anxious about paddling, but while listening to explanations about the variety of fish and driftwood, I was able to have a fun time. In the afternoon on Yubu Island, I had the extraordinary experience of crossing the shallow waters on a water buffalo, which became a memorable moment. I was healed by the beautiful nature and the peaceful time. Thank you!

カヌーと由布島観光を体験しました。初めての西表島でしたが、ガイドのスタッフの方の豊富な知識で島やマングローブにちょっと詳しくなった気がします^ ^

午前中はカヌーに乗りながらマングローブ林の自然を堪能しました。漕げるか不安でしたが、魚の種類の多さや漂木の説明などを伺いつつ、楽しく周ることができました。午後の由布島では水牛に乗りながら島までの浅瀬を渡るという非日常な経験ができ、思い出になったと思います。美しい自然と長閑な時間に癒されました。ありがとうございました〜！

Since it was decided in advance to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, it was very convenient to smoothly receive the tickets directly at the airport. The location was easy to find, and I would like to use it again.

事前に美ら海水族館に行く事が決まってたので、空港で直接チケットをスムーズに受け取ることが出来とても便利でした。場所もすぐわかり また利用したいた思います。

I went on a trip with my college student child. The aquarium was great, and there were facilities and beautiful beaches in the surrounding area that exceeded our expectations. I'm glad we went.

大学生の子どもと親子旅で行って来ました
水族館はもちろん周辺も楽しめる施設や素晴らしいビーチがあり想像以上に楽しめました
行って良かったです

Almost everyone was trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling for the first time! The instructors were very thorough, so I was able to enjoy it to the fullest without any worries, even as a beginner! Thanks to the many wonderful photos taken with the GoPro, I'm reminiscing while looking back at the pictures 😊 It was such a fun experience!!!

At the end, they also recommended a lot of great restaurants for our last bus ride, so I’m looking forward to enjoying the rest of my trip in Ishigaki! ✈️

ほぼ全員初めてのsupとシュノーケリングでした！
丁寧に教えていただけたので初めてでも心配なく全力で楽しめました！
素敵な写真もたくさんGoProで撮っていただいたおかげで写真を見返して余韻に浸っています😊とても楽しい体験でした！！！

最後のバスでおすすめのご飯屋さんもたくさん教えていただいて残りの石垣旅行も楽しめそうです✈️

The day before, the ticket exchange at the airport for the Churaumi Aquarium went smoothly. If you go early in the morning, the inside is relatively empty, allowing for a leisurely observation. After watching the dolphin show at 11:30, we were able to see the manatees during their feeding time.

前日　空港にてチケット引き換えで美ら海水族館への入場がスムーズでした。
朝イチからいくと、館内は比較的空いていて　ゆっくり観察でき、11:30からのイルカショーをみてマナティ館によれば、食事している所がみれました。

There were various similar admission passes, but this was the best deal that included the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. However, for the other facilities listed as options, you will need to exchange your admission tickets, so you will have to wait in line.

似た入館パスはイロイロありましたが、美ら海水族館付きのお得なパスはこれでした。
ただし、選択肢にあるほかの施設は、入館チケットを引き換える必要があるため行列に並ぶ必要があります。

We had the pleasure of having Sebastian as our snorkeling tour guide, and he truly made the experience unforgettable. His friendly and accommodating nature put us at ease right away. He spoke great English and shared a wealth of knowledge about the island, even offering us fantastic recommendations for local dining spots.

Taro was our guide for the stand-up paddleboarding tour, and he was equally wonderful. Although we were informed in advance that he didn't speak English, we managed to communicate quite well with my limited Japanese and he also made a genuine effort to engage with us in the little English he knew. Taro's warm demeanor and friendly personality shone through, and he kept us entertained with some light-hearted jokes along the way. If you have the chance to be guided by either of these amazing individuals, you can rest assured that you'll be in great hands!

We gathered at the bus terminal near the remote island bus terminal in the morning, and the guide shared a lot of interesting information during the ride, which was very helpful. We will return to the bus terminal after 2 PM, so if the weather and our stamina allow, we can visit nearby islands like Kohama Island. It's great because many of the sightseeing spots are difficult to access without a car.

朝に離島バスターミナル近くのバスターミナルに集合、ガイドが車中も色々話をしてくれてとても参考になります。14時過ぎにはバスターミナルに戻るので体力と天候が許せば小浜島など離島への観光、移動ができます。車が運転できないと観光しづらいところばかりなのでありがたいです。

The weather was favorable, and everything went as planned. Lunch was delicious, and we were taken to the airport on time. The guide was great as well. Ishigaki has become a wonderful memory.

お天気にも恵まれ、何もかも予定どおり。昼食もおいしく時間通りに空港まで送っていただきました。
ガイドさんもよかったです。
石垣、良い思い出となりました。

I experienced canoeing and snorkeling in the Blue Cave for the first time! With thorough instructions, even beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind. During the experience, we received detailed explanations about the mangroves and an introduction to the Blue Cave, making it a unique way to enjoy the tour!

What stood out to me the most during this tour was the extensive introduction to Ishigaki while we were on the bus! It became a great reference for my future travels, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling trip to Ishigaki! Thank you 😊

カヌーと青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングを初めて体験しました！丁寧なレクチャーで初心者でも安心して楽しむことができました。体験の中ではマングローブの説明や青の洞窟の紹介など詳しくして頂き、ツアーだからこその楽しみ方ができました！
特にこのツアーで印象に残っていることは、移動中のバスの中で石垣の紹介を沢山していただいたことです！今後の旅の参考になり、とても充実した石垣旅行になりました！ありがとうございます😊

The main Churaumi Aquarium was impressive! There were many other highlights as well. Additionally, the tour guide (bus) was attentive and made the experience feel less tiring. If I had to mention something, it took about 4 hours round trip for passenger pickups, which was a bit hard on my back, but considering the cost performance, it might be within an acceptable range.

メインの美ら海水族館には感動！その他見どころも多っかたです。加えて観光ガイド（バス）が丁寧で疲れを感じさせなかった。しいて言えば乗客のピックアップで往復で約4時間要したので腰にきましたが,コスパを思うと許容範囲かも。

I participated in the same VELTRA bus tour in Miyako Island three days before this tour. At that time, it was a longer tour, but perhaps because I had a good impression from that experience, I enjoyed this one as well.

同じVELTRAさんの宮古島バスツアーにこのツアーの３日前に参加しました。その時はもっと長いツアーだったけど、その時の印象が良かったせいか、これも勿論楽しめましたけど、って所ですかね。

I had planned to go to the Blue Cave, but due to the wind, we went to a different beach. The owner of the restaurant we went to afterward also said, "That beach is beautiful." ☺️✨ It was my first time snorkeling, and it had been a while since I swam, but I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. It seems that the morning group even saw manta rays! Not only during snorkeling, but also during the car ride to and from, I was impressed by how they shared recommendations for shops and plans for the next day while having fun conversations. 🚗 Thank you, Diego!

青の洞窟に行く予定でしたが、風の影響で別のビーチへ。その後行ったご飯屋さんの店主さんも、「あのビーチは綺麗だよ」と言っていました☺️✨️初めてのシュノーケリング、泳ぐのも久しぶりでしたが、安心して楽しむことができました。午前中のグループはマンタも見られたみたいです！シュノーケリングだけでなく、行き帰りの車でも、おすすめのお店や次の日のプランなど楽しくお喋りしながら教えて頂いたのが印象に残っています🚗JDことジエゴさん、ありがとうございました！！

This time, I challenged myself to diving for the first time in 35 years as a celebration of my 60th birthday. The weather wasn't great, and the boat was rocking, which made me quite anxious, but thanks to the staff's quick guidance and instructions, I was able to dive safely. Amid the excitement and nervousness, I truly enjoyed swimming in the beautiful ocean after such a long time. I had a wonderful experience touching the clownfish playing among the sea anemones. Thank you very much.

今回還暦の記念に35年ぶりのダイビングを挑戦しました。天候もあまり良くなく、船も揺れて、いろんな不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々のテキパキとした誘導や指示より安全に行うことができました。ドキドキワクワクの中、ほんとに久しぶりに海の中の素敵な遊泳を楽しむことができました。
イソギンチャクの中で遊んでいるクマノミに触れたりと素敵な経験ができました。ありがとうございました。

Thank you very much for today! Kakeru, who was in charge, guided us with great care! Thank you for the careful driving!

Regarding the Yufujima tour, the movement of the water buffalo was incredibly cute, and we were able to listen to wonderful folk songs. We also received recommendations for places to visit on Yufujima, allowing us to explore efficiently!

As for the canoe experience, although we were all beginners, Kakeru kindly and patiently taught us, and everyone was able to participate without falling in! While trying not to drop our smartphones, we were able to take many wonderful photos, which we are very grateful for!

Although it was a short time, we had a very enjoyable experience! Thank you.

本日はありがとうございました！
担当していただいた、かけるさんが丁寧にガイドしてくれました！丁寧な運転でありがとうございました！

由布島観光について、水牛の移動がとにかく可愛く素敵な民謡も聴くことができました、
また、由布島のおすすめ場所も伺い、効率的に回ることができました！


カヌー体験に関しても、初心者だらけでしたが、かけるさんに親切・丁寧に教えていただき、皆が落ちずに体験することができました！スマホを落ち込まないながらも、素敵な写真もいっぱい撮影していただき、非常にありがたいです！

短い間でしたが、非常に楽しか過ごせました！ありがとうございます。
