All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

There was fog, but the sea was clear and not murky 🥰 The instructors were kind and taught us gently, so I felt at ease 👍 I will definitely ask for your services again when I go to Okinawa 🤲

霧がありましたが海は濁ってなくて綺麗でした🥰インストラクターの方達が親切で優しく教えてくれるので安心でした👍また沖縄に行く時はお願いします🤲

In the water, the staff member asked us to wait a moment and showed us a pufferfish, saying it was not a good swimmer. We were completely captivated by its incredibly adorable appearance. Including that lucky encounter, there were many colorful fish, making it a wonderful memory. I was moved to see the Blue Cave with my own eyes, which I had only seen in pictures.

From the explanation of the equipment to being underwater and until the end, everything was explained thoroughly and enjoyably, so I had no worries at all. They took care of all the tedious preparations and clean-up, making it a luxurious experience that was easy to enjoy. Even when I was about to be swept away by the current during the underwater photography, the staff member quickly reached out to support me, allowing me to enjoy myself without any concerns. It was great that they provided skincare products like lotion and a hairdryer. I thought it would have been even better if the shower had warm water.

Thank you for taking so many wonderful photos and videos! I would love to experience this again!

I apologize for any inconvenience caused in the parking lot.

水中で、スタッフのお兄さんがちょっと待っててと言って

コクテンフグ
泳ぎが下手

と言って私たちに見せてくれました。
そのめちゃめちゃ愛くるしい姿に魅了されまくりでした。たまたま出会えたその子も含め、たくさんの色とりどりの魚がいて最高の思い出になりました。
写真で見ていた青の洞窟をこの目で見ることができ感動しました。

機材の説明から水中、終わりまで、丁寧に楽しく説明していただけたので不安は一切ありませんでした。
準備や片付けなど面倒なことは全てやっていただけて、手軽に楽しめる贅沢な経験でした。
水中写真撮影のとき水の流れに逆らえず流れそうになっても、すぐお兄さんが手を伸ばして支えてくれるので安心して楽しむことができました。
化粧水や乳液、ドライヤーも完備されてて、とても良かったです。
シャワーは温かいお湯が出たらさらに良かったなと思いました。

たくさんの素敵な写真や動画を撮ってくださりありがとうございました！
また体験したいです！

駐車場ではご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ありませんでした。

It was great to feel and see the beauty of Okinawa, and the way the tour guide spoke was easy to understand, which was also good. I have used VELTRA multiple times, and the staff members are the best.

沖縄の良さを感じ見る事良かったし添乗員さんの話し方が聞き取りやすく
良かったです
VELTRAは何度も利用していて
STAFFの方々最高です

The veteran bus guide was very good. Not only did they provide various explanations about Okinawa, but they also sang some famous Okinawan songs, making the journey a lot of fun. The bus interior was clean and comfortable.

Originally, I planned to drive around with a rental car, but due to the forecast of rain, I canceled the rental and booked this instead. It was the right choice to go with this option, as we were able to efficiently tour even in the rain.

It was a pity that we couldn't see the fields at Pineapple Park because it was out of season. I also regretted not being able to ride the cart due to the limited time for the visit, and I missed out on having meals like pineapple pizza. (However, it was nice that we could choose souvenirs after tasting.)

ベテランのバスガイドさん、とても良かったです。観光スポットだけでなく、沖縄にまつわる様々な説明や、沖縄の有名な歌も、いくつか歌っていただき、道中とても楽しかったです。
バス車内も綺麗で快適でした。
もともとは、レンタカーで周る予定が、雨の予報だったため、レンタカーをキャンセルして、こちらを申込みました。雨でも効率よく周れて正解でした。
パイナップルパークは、季節外れのため、畑が見れなかったのが残念でした。
見学時間に余裕がなく、カートに乗れなかったのと、パイナップルピザ等の食事が出来なかったのも心残りでした。(試食をしてからお土産を選べるのはよかった)

A Solo Trip to Ishigaki Island

This was my first time on a bus tour, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I was excited about visiting a tropical island without thinking too much, but the guide's fluent narration provided insights into the history and connections of the island and its surrounding islets, which was very educational.

For lunch, I had a delicious Ishigaki beef hamburger. The mozuku vinegar was quite strong, and if you eat it too quickly, it can make you cough. But it was tasty!

The guide's performance of traditional songs while playing the sanshin was impressive. I was truly amazed. While there isn't much freedom in the itinerary, I recommend this tour for anyone visiting the island for the first time.

思い立ち一人旅の石垣島
バスツアー自体初めてですがとても良い経験をさせていただきました。
なにも考えず南国の島
などと浮かれていましたがガイドさんの流暢な語りで島や周辺の離島などの歴史や関わりなどを知り、とても勉強になりました。
ランチは石垣牛のハンバーグで美味しかったです。もずく酢は酢が強くて勢い良く食べるとむせます。でも美味しい

ガイドさんの三線を弾きながらの民謡は圧巻でした。流石だと思います
自由度はありませんが初めて島に行かれる方は参加するのをお勧めします。

I bought this ticket to visit the area near the island terminal since I will be staying a little away from the city in Maesari. It can take you not only to the city but also to the airport, Kabira Bay, and Hirakubo Cape, making bus sightseeing possible.

市街地から少し離れた真栄里へ滞在するので離島ターミナル付近を訪れるためにこのチケットを買っています。街中へはもちろんですが、空港や川平湾、平久保崎まで行けるのでバス観光が可能です。

I always use this bus ticket when visiting Ishigaki Island. It's very convenient since there's no need for payment each time. Thanks to this ticket, I can always go out with ease.

石垣島を訪問する際はこのバスチケットを必ず利用しています。
都度支払いがないので大変楽です。このチケットのおかげでいつもフットワーク軽くお出かけができています。

It's easy to exchange when boarding the bus, and just going back and forth between the airport and the island terminal makes it worth it, so it's cost-effective.

バス乗車時に難なく引き換えでき、空港と離島ターミナルを往復するだけでも元が取れるため、コスパがいい。

I had planned a trip to Okinawa with a friend, but they couldn't make it, so I ended up going alone. Honestly, at first, I thought, "Oh, I'm going alone..." but by the end, I had so much fun that I completely forgot about it!

It was great that I was the only Japanese speaker that day, allowing me to fully enjoy the atmosphere of an overseas resort. In fact, it was very relaxing to spend time without having to worry about anything (laughs).

The staff explained everything carefully, alternating between Japanese and English, which made it easy to understand and allowed me to participate with confidence. Moreover, the water was incredibly clear that day, and I even got to see sea turtles, which made me very satisfied.

This was my first time in Kerama, and I had wanted to go for a long time, so I'm really glad I didn't give up just because I was going alone.

Another highlight was receiving photos taken with a GoPro, which allowed me to capture memories. I plan to show them off to my friends when I get back!

沖縄旅行を一緒に予定していた友人が来られなくなり、急遽ひとりで参加しました。正直、最初は「ひとりか…」と思っていたのですが、終わる頃にはそんなことを忘れるくらい楽しめました！

たまたまこの日は日本語話者が自分だけで、海外リゾートらしい雰囲気を存分に味わえたのも良かったです。むしろ気を遣わずに過ごせて、とても気楽でした（笑）

スタッフの方は日本語と英語を交互に使いながら丁寧に説明してくださったので、内容も分かりやすく安心して参加できました。さらに、この日は海の透明度がとても高く、ウミガメにも出会うことができて大満足です。

初めての慶良間だったので以前から行ってみたいと思っていましたが、「ひとり参加だから」という理由で諦めなくて本当に良かったなと。

GoProで撮影した写真をもらえたのも嬉しいポイントで、思い出を写真に残すことができたので、帰ったら友人に自慢しようと思います。

If you're going to the Churaumi Aquarium, this is the best choice. In this class, there are often additional charges for admission, but this price includes everything. At the Kouri Bridge, we were able to see sea turtles.

美ら海水族館に行くなら1番。このクラスだと、入場券別が多いが、込みでこの価格。古宇利大橋では、ウミカメにあえました。

Since Kawahira Bay was not accessible due to high waves, we were guided to a different location. Other tours were operating boats in that area, but they had a style where you walked from the shore. Additionally, the staff mentioned that stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is mostly not possible during this season, which raises doubts about why they were promoting tours that included SUP. However, the guide was very kind, and I enjoyed the tour itself.

川平湾が高波でNGだったので、別の場所への案内でした。他のツアーはそのエリアで船を出してましたが、岸から歩くスタイルでした。また、supはこの時期は殆ど出来ないと当日スタッフが仰っていました。なぜsupの出来るツアーを募集していたのか、不信感。ガイドの方はとても親切でツアー自体は楽しめました。

There was a long line even to enter, and the inside was quite crowded. Since time was limited, I just took a quick look around and that was it. It's located away from the city center, and while you can get there by bus, I only recommend it to those who can plan their schedule with some flexibility. This was my third time in Okinawa, and I thought about visiting the famous Churaumi Aquarium at least once, but now I'm feeling like once more would be enough.

入場までも並び、館内もかなりの混雑。
時間が限られていたこともあり、ざーっと見ただけで終わってしまいました。
中心部から離れており、バスでは行けますが、余裕を持ったスケジュールが組める人にのみお勧めします。
沖縄は3回目で、一度くらい、かの有名な美ら海水族館へと思いましたが、もう一度でいいかなと言う感じです。

Due to the approaching typhoon, all locations for SUP, snorkeling, and canoeing were changed from Kabira Bay, but I had a really enjoyable time♡

The guides were very kind and warmly welcomed us with attentive hospitality!

If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would like to experience activities at Kabira Bay next time!

I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Mine, who led the SUP tour, Ms. Hina, who was in charge of snorkeling and canoeing, and all the other guides. Thank you so much♡

P.S. This was my first trip with my boyfriend, so it became a very precious memory.

台風接近の影響により、SUP、シュノーケリング、カヌーのすべてのロケーションが川平湾から変更となりましたが、大変楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました♡

ガイドの皆様も非常に親切で、きめ細やかなおもてなしで温かく迎えてくださいました！

また石垣島を訪れる機会がありましたら、次こそは川平湾でアクティビティを体験したいと思います！

この度、SUPのツアーを引率してくださった峰先生、シュノーケリングとカヌーの担当をしてくださったヒナ先生、その他ガイドの皆様、本当にありがとうございました♡

P.S. 彼氏との初めての遠出だったので、とても貴重な思い出になりました。

Since it was forecasted to rain, the day trip tour by bus was excellent. I was able to visit various places and I am very satisfied! The time management was also good, and I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

雨の予報だったのでバスで日帰りツアーは最高でした。色んな所へ行けてとても満足しています！時間配分的にも良くてまた機会があれば利用したいと思っています。

If you come to Ishigaki Island, you definitely want to experience the glass-bottom boat. I arrived at the reception earlier than my reservation time, but they kindly changed me to an earlier departure without any waiting time. We efficiently visited all the highlight spots, from the shallow areas to the offshore table corals, and the 30 minutes flew by with enjoyable explanations. I was lucky to see two sea turtles as well.

石垣島に来たらぜひ体験したいグラスボート。予約より早い時間に受付に着いてしまいましたが、前の時間の便に変えていただき待ち時間なく乗ることができました。浅瀬から沖のテーブルサンゴまで見どころスポットを効率よく回ってくれ、楽しい説明で30分があっという間でした。ウミガメも2匹見られてラッキーでした。

Thank you very much for taking care of the four mature women the other day. The Blue Cave was absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Risa's amazing support, I was able to enjoy the underwater world with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to rely on VELTRA. Thank you so much! ♡

先日は熟女４人、大変お世話になりました。青の洞窟、めっちゃ素敵でした。
りさちゃんの神対応のお陰で、安心して海の世界を楽しむことができました。また機会がありましたら、VELTRAさんにお世話になりたいと思います♡ありがとうございました♡

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 makes it almost equivalent to getting a one-way trip for free, 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。
