All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I had an amazing time experiencing SUP for the first time. The cute guide was very enthusiastic and led us well, which made me feel at ease.

初めてSupを体験してみたら超楽しかった
可愛いガイドさん　すごく熱心でリードすてくれて安心しました。

At the same course:
1. Churaumi Aquarium
2. Tropical Dream Center
Some parts of the visit were separated.
I've been to Churaumi Aquarium many times, so this time I chose the Tropical Dream Center.
There were few people, allowing for a relaxed meal and visit. There were quite a few rare plants...

同じコースで
①美ら海水族館
②熱帯ドリームセンター
一部見学が分かれていました
美ら海水族館は何度も行ったので、今回は熱帯ドリームセンターを選びました
人もまばらでゆったり食事と見学が出来ました。かなり珍しい植物も⋯

It was my first time in Okinawa, and since I don't drive, I joined a bus tour that included the places I wanted to visit. They efficiently took us to various locations, which saved both time and energy, so it was great. Although the person accompanying us was not a guide but an attendant staff member, they provided explanations at key points and shared recommendations for delicious food, which was very helpful. It was a fun and satisfying day. Thank you very much.

初めての沖縄でしたが、車を運転しないので、行きたいところが入っているバスツアーに参加しました。各所へ効率よく連れて行っていただき、時間も体力も無駄にならずよかったです。同乗されていたのは、ガイドさんではなくアテンドスタッフの方とのことでしたが、要所要所で説明してくださり、また、美味しいものなど教えていただき、とてもよかったです。楽しく満足な1日でした。ありがとうございました。

What surprised me was that 90 percent of the passengers were from the neighboring great country. They looked just like us, so I didn't realize until I heard their language (laughs). However, the explanations were provided through a smartphone app, so it wasn't too bothersome. In fact, unlike domestic tour buses, it was quiet, with most people sleeping and no conversations. It was a windy day, so even with a down jacket, it was tough in a leather jacket—Manza Beach is formidable.

It had been several years since I last visited the Tropical Dream Center, but there were more facilities, and it was very impressive. The viewpoint I skipped last time became my favorite this time. The wind was strong, but I definitely recommend it. Although it was a bit of a long bus tour, the staff (all from overseas) were very kind and helpful, and I am grateful. I also appreciate them coming to pick us up when we misunderstood and were a bit late.

驚いたのは、乗客の90パーセントがお隣の大国のお方。見た目も当方と変わらないので、言葉を聞くまで分からなかった(笑)ただ説明はスマホのアプリをとうして聞く形だったので、そんなには気にならなかった。むしろ、国内のツアーバスと違って静か、ほとんど寝ていて会話なし。風が強い日だったので、ダウンがあっても大丈夫なくらい、皮ジャンでは辛かったです、恐るべし万座毛。熱帯ドリームセンターは、何年かぶりだったけど、設備が増えていて、とても見ごたえあり。前回はスルーした遠見台、今回での一番のお気に入り。風は強いけれど、ぜひおすすめ。少し長いバスツアーだったけれど、スタッフの方々（すべて海外のお方）は言葉の不自由もなくとても親切で感謝。勘違いして少々遅刻した我々をお迎えに来てもらい更に感謝。
　

I visited with my mother in her 70s and my sister in her 50s. We made a reservation on the plane, and after arriving at Naha Airport, we were able to exchange our tickets right away on the first floor. It was efficient in terms of time, and the price was great, which was really helpful.

Since my mother's main goal for the trip to Okinawa was the Churaumi Aquarium, we were able to enjoy it slowly together, making it a wonderful page in our travel memories.

70代の母と50代の姉妹と３人で訪れました。機内で予約し、那覇空港到着後、一階で直ぐチケットを交換できました。時間的に無駄がなく、料金もお得で本当に助かりました。
沖縄旅行の母の一番の目的が美ら海水族館でしたので、３人でゆっくりと楽しむことができて、良き旅の１ページとなりました。

I think it's convenient that I can make credit card payments when I don't have cash. I would like to continue using it in the future.

現金がない時にクレジットカード決済できるので便利だと思います。
これからも利用し続けたいと思います。

I experienced SUP and snorkeling for the first time. Unfortunately, it was raining, but I was happy to have the rare opportunity to do SUP in the mangroves. For lunch, the guide recommended a great burger place. Although it rained during the snorkeling in the afternoon, I was able to see beautiful corals and fish when I dove into the sea. I was also very happy to encounter a sea turtle.

The guide's various knowledge made the experience even more interesting. Additionally, the guide was an excellent swimmer and was able to take some valuable photos for me.

I participated alone, but I had a lot of fun. I would love to do it again. I hope to experience it on a sunny day next time.

初めてSUPとシュノーケリングを体験しました。あいにくの雨でしたが、マングローブでのSUPという貴重な体験ができ嬉しかったです。お昼は、ガイドの方にオススメのハンバーガー屋さんを教えて頂きました。昼からのシュノーケリングも雨でしたか、海に潜ると綺麗な珊瑚や魚を見ることができました。海亀にも会えてとても嬉しかったです。
ガイドの方の様々な知識でより面白い体験ができました。また、ガイドの方の泳ぎがとても上手で貴重な写真を撮影して頂けました。
1人での参加でしたがとても楽しかったです。また体験したいです。次は晴れた日にできたら嬉しいです。

Although the time was short and it was a bit hectic, I was able to do a lot of sightseeing, and it was great to see the Churaumi Aquarium and the dolphin show. However, it was disappointing that some people were late for the meeting time. If we don't stick to the scheduled time for sightseeing, it can affect the rest of the day.

時間が短く、バタバタでしたが、たくさん観光ができ、美ら海水族館もイルカのショーも見ることができよかったです。
ただ、集合時間に遅れる人がいたのが残念でした。決められた時間内での観光をしてくれないと後に響くので。

I was impressed by the beauty of the water in Kabira Bay even before getting on the boat! I was worried because I tend to get motion sickness, but maybe because of the beauty of the sea, I was totally fine! I was also able to encounter sea turtles, which was a lot of fun! I definitely want to participate again with my grandchildren!

ボートに乗る前から川平湾の水の綺麗さに感激！乗り物酔いをしやすいので心配でしたが海の綺麗さのせいかぜんぜん大丈夫でした！ウミガメにも遭遇する事ができてとても楽しかったです！是非孫たちとまた一緒に参加したいです！

I almost circled Ishigaki Island, visiting various attractions. The bus guide provided detailed explanations, and we enjoyed a typical Okinawan lunch. It was more efficient for sightseeing than driving around with a rental car, especially since we could get off at the airport. It's a pity that the weather was cloudy.

石垣島をほぼ一周して名所を回り、バスガイドさんの詳しい説明、沖縄らしい昼食、空港で下車でき、レンタカーで回るよりも効率よく観光できた。
天気が曇りだったのが残念。

The bus guide and driver were kind and provided excellent service. The guide shared various stories, and they were very friendly. It was great to efficiently visit many places, creating wonderful memories. I'm glad I participated. The tour was almost fully booked, but everyone was punctual, which was nice.

バスのガイドさん、運転手さんは優しくて接客が良かったです。ガイドさん、色んなお話をしてくれました。とても親切でした。
色んな場所を効率よく回れて良い思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。
バスがほぼ満席になるツアーでしたが皆さん時間をよく守っていて良かったです。

This was my second time, but it was my husband's first visit to Okinawa! He was so moved by Okinawa that he was left speechless by the various places we experienced. This tour takes you to all the best spots and is absolutely the best tour. I highly recommend it! We are already talking about wanting to return to Okinawa after the reconstruction of Shuri Castle.

私は2度目でしたが主人は
沖縄初上陸！様々な場所で感じられる
沖縄に言葉を失うほど感動していました。
このツアーは良いところ取りで連れて行ってくれる最高のツアーです。
絶対におすすめです！次は首里城再建後に
また沖縄に戻って来たいと話しています。

It was a fun half-day tour with a bus guide. Not only did we get explanations about the sightseeing spots, but we also enjoyed a great time with performances of traditional songs and dances from Ishigaki Island! The photo is of a fruitless palm tree. It's a natural monument, and the fruit is said to be about 1 cm in size, with thousands of them growing.

バスガイドさんが添乗しての楽しい半日観光でした。観光地の説明もさることながら、石垣島の民謡、踊りなど実演を交えて楽しい時間を過ごすことができました❗写真は実のならないヤシでした。天然記念物で、実は1cm程度で、何千個も成るそうです。

Thank you for your help last year. I had a great time this year as well. I would like to use your services again! The guide was also very polite, and thank you for a wonderful day! ✨

去年もお世話になりました。
今年も楽しかったです。
また利用したいです～
ガイドさんも丁寧でしたし、1日お疲れ様でした✨

At "Okinawa World," I was able to experience various aspects of Okinawa. My elementary school-aged child really enjoyed the experiences with Ryukyu glass and Bingata dyeing. The staff were all very kind, and I'm glad we visited.

「おきなわワールド」とあって、いろいろな沖縄を体感することが出来ました。
小学生の子供は、琉球ガラスと紅型染めの体験がとても楽しかったそうです。
施設の方が皆とても親切で、訪問してよかったです。

It was wonderful bus tour. I wish there was a translation headset. Liam from the US
The guide had so much to say and I could not understand everything.

I was impressed by the beautiful view from the observation deck, and I was very satisfied with the packed itinerary, which included having lunch in a pleasant spot on the hill and listening to the guide's wonderful Okinawan songs on the bus.

展望台からの眺めの良い景色に感動して、高台にある気持ちのいい場所で、ランチ出来たり、バスの中で、ガイドさんの上手な沖縄の歌を聴いたり、盛りだくさんの内容に大満足でした♪

I confirmed in advance whether only children could participate before making the reservation. Unfortunately, on the day of the event, the sea was rough and the temperature was cold, but in the morning we did a mangrove canoe tour, followed by a 3-hour break (which seemed a bit long for the kids…). In the afternoon, due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we snorkeled at another location. The sea conditions seemed calm, so I was able to relax and leave it to the guides while I was diving elsewhere.

The communication before the reservation and the day before was smooth, and I felt it was a trustworthy tour. I would definitely like to make a reservation again if I have the opportunity next time. Thank you very much.

子ども達だけの参加が可能かどうかを事前に確認してから申し込みをしました。あいにく当日は、海は荒れていて、気温も寒かったのですが、午前にマングローブカヌー、3時間休憩【子供たちには、少し長すぎたみたいですが…】を挟み、午後から青の洞窟は天気により不可だったので、他の場所でのシュノーケル。海の状態も穏やかだったようなので、他でダイビングをしていた私も安心して、おまかせできました。
予約前のやり取りも、前日のやり取りもスムーズでしたし、信頼できるツアーだなと思います。
また次回も機会があれば予約させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

It was packed with content. We visited all the major tourist spots in the northern region, and the ticket price for the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was included, which felt like a great deal.

盛りだくさんの内容でした。北部の主要な観光地をもれなく回り、沖縄美ら海水族館のチケット代も含まれており、お得感ありました。

This is a plan where you can enjoy both the river and the sea in one day.

First, we went canoeing down a river filled with mangroves. We were able to see mangrove tunnels and coral caves as well. Thanks to our guide, Shinpei, who kindly provided instructions, we had a fun canoeing experience.

After a two-hour break for lunch, we moved to the beach for a snorkeling experience. It had been a while since I last snorkeled, but I enjoyed seeing beautiful fish and coral reefs. I was lucky to encounter a green sea turtle as well.

On the way back, we were taken to a free shower spot, which was great because I could shower right away. We took a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory.

1日で川と海を楽しめるプランです。
最初はカヌーでマングローブがたくさんある川下りができました。
マングローブのトンネルやサンゴの鍾乳洞なども見ることができました。
ガイドのしんぺーさんがやさしくレクチャーして頂いたおかげで楽しくカヌー体験をすることができました。
昼休みとして2時間休憩した後に、
ビーチへ移動して、シュノーケル体験でした。
久々のシュノーケルでしたがきれいな魚やサンゴ礁なども楽しめました。
アオウミガメにも出会うことができてラッキーでした。
帰りは無料のシャワースポットまで送ってもらえたのですぐシャワー浴びれて助かりました。
写真をたくさん撮ってもらえて、いい思い出になりました。

The group was packed with 49 people, and I had to share a seat with someone. There were many foreign participants who often didn't keep to the meeting time and were always late. The Churaumi Aquarium was great because we had two hours of free time there. However, there was traffic in Naha City, and it took over three hours to return.

49人パンパンで、一人参加は相席だった。外国人参加も多くて、集合時間を守らず常に遅れぎみだった。美ら海水族館は、2時間自由時間が合ったので、よかった。那覇市内が渋滞で、帰りは、３時間以上はかかった。

There were 39 participants.
There were also foreigners.
On this day, the wind was very strong...
It was cloudy and cold.

There was nowhere to have a proper meal...
I wish the tour company, Rad Kanko, would be a bit kinder. They should at least guide us on where to stop and what to eat. The guide seemed to be struggling with the directions too.

In terms of cost, I was very satisfied!!
But what about the hotel pick-up!?
Before I knew it, the meeting point had changed to in front of the prefectural office, which felt a bit off. I had to take a taxi to get there!!

At the Churaumi Aquarium, it's quite a walk from the bus.
You can see the planetarium for just 190 yen!! Great value~.

Overall, from the morning onwards, everything was just so hectic!!

From the Churaumi Aquarium, it was just a long ride back, so it was really just sitting on the bus...
The driver had a tough job!!

It's a bit of a waste of a product.

Since I used a taxi to and from the prefectural office, I ended up adding 1400 yen to the tour cost (⁠+⁠_⁠+⁠).

参加者は39人。
外人さんも居ました。
この日、とても風邪が強くて…。
曇りで寒いのなんの。

まともに食事を取れる場所がない…。
ラド観光さんももう少し優しくしてほしい。どこの立ち寄りで何を食べればいいのかくらい案内するべき。
ガイドさんも案内に困ってました。

金額的には大満足！！
でも、ホテル送迎は！？
いつの間にか県庁前集合になってて、
なにか違和感。タクシーで県庁前まで行きましたよ！！


美ら海水族館はバスからかなり歩く。
プラネタリウムが190円で見ることができます！！コスパ良し〜。

全体的に朝から全てにおいて、
とにかく、忙しない！！

美ら海水族館からは、ひたすら帰るだけなので本当に乗りっぱなし…。
ドライバーさん、大変だよ！！

なにかもったいない商品です。

県庁前まで行きも帰りもタクシー利用したのでツアー代金にプラス1400円(⁠+⁠_⁠+⁠)

Okinawa is a sprawling city and traffic is hectic specially for a first-time to Japan. This tour, a bit tiring for 12 hours is a good way to see some of the big far away sights like the Manzano rock and the aquarium. Though I feel the pineapple park can be done away with.

I was able to enjoy the Churaumi Aquarium slowly. Although I left at 7 PM, they made sure to guide me thoroughly around.

ゆっくりと美ら海水族館
堪能できました
午後７時の帰りでしたがその分しっかり
あちこち案内してくれました

The one-way fare from the airport to the remote island terminal is 540 yen, so it's a good deal if you plan to make a round trip within 24 hours. Although it says 24 hours, if you purchase it at 9 AM, you can use it until around 10 AM the next day. It's the same price as the round-trip ticket offered by Toei Bus, but since it can be used for places other than the airport, I thought it was a good purchase. However, the bus frequency is only about two times an hour, and there are few routes, making it difficult to use for sightseeing. Even when searching for routes on Google Maps, many destinations take about 20 minutes on foot from the bus stop. I have only been to the southern part of Ishigaki Island, so I don't know about the northern part.

空港から離島ターミナルは片道540円なので24時間以内に往復するのであればお得です。
24時間と書いてますがAM9時に購入したら翌日のAM10時台まで利用可能でした
東バスさんからでてる空港往復チケットと同価格ですが、空港以外にも使えるので良いかなと購入。
ただバスの本数が1時間2便程度なのと路線が少ないので観光には使いにくいです。
Googlemapで経路検索してもバス停から目的地まで徒歩20分とかかかるのが多かったです。
私は石垣島南部しか行ってないので北部はわかりません。

I was able to move smoothly to each destination with hardly any traffic, which gave me plenty of time to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace.

各訪問先へは殆ど渋滞もなくスムーズ移動が出来ていて時間的余裕があり、大変ゆっくりと楽しむことができたと思います。

I chose to use this service because there were many reviews, and the Panta Cafe and Churaumi Aquarium looked appealing. The experience was as good as others have described. It happened to be the day when the dolphin show at the Okichan Theater resumed.

However, despite the 8:20 AM meeting time, there was no staff in front of Nippon Rent-A-Car, and I had to confirm with the inbound tour staff nearby several times. In the end, there was staff near the bus, and everyone was confused. As a Japanese person, I would prefer the staff to be at the designated location for check-in.

口コミが多く、パンタカフェや美ら海水族館が魅力的だったので利用しました。内容は他の方が書いている通り良かったです。ちょうどオキちゃん劇場のイルカショー再開の日でした。
朝、8:20集合なのに、ニッポンレンタカー前にスタッフはおらず、近くにいたインバウンドツアーのスタッフに数回確認しました。結局、バスの近くにスタッフがいて、皆さん戸惑っていました。日本人としては、記載された場所にいて受付して欲しいです。

This time, I participated in a fun diving experience alone, and I was very satisfied with the explanations, the support during the experience, and the many pieces of advice that I can use for next time. I would like to experience it again when I come to Okinawa.

今回、ファンダイビングで1人で参加したんですが説明から体験中の対応、次に生かせるようなアドバイスなど沢山していただけて、とても大満足なダイビングとなりました。また沖縄に来た際は体験させていただきたいと思いました。

It was unfortunately rainy. Although the forecast predicted light rain, it was quite heavy at Kabira Bay, and the glass-bottom boat service was suspended. Nevertheless, the tour around the island by bus was enjoyable. I can only imagine how wonderful the scenery must be in better weather. Thank you for sharing various insights about the island.

あいにくの雨でした。小雨予報でしたが川平湾では、結構降っていてグラスボートも運休でした。それでも、観光バスでの島内一周は、楽しかったです。きっと季節が良ければ、すばらしーーーい風景なのだろうと想像もできました。
島のいろいろを教えてくださってありがとうございました。

We booked an 8-hour private car service from the cruise ship terminal in Okinawa. Despite a delayed start due to immigration, our driver was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we covered multiple stops efficiently. The driver provided some time buffer without extra charges. It was a great short visit experience and we are happy with the service. Google translate works well well!
