All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

My daughter, who used to dislike the ocean, said she wanted to go snorkeling. I signed up with some hesitation, but she seemed very satisfied with the beauty of the coral reefs. At first, she wore a life jacket, but later she was able to take it off and dive down. She was thrilled to see sea snakes and sea turtles. After it was over, she said she wanted to come back again. We are thinking about snorkeling again next year. Thank you very much.

海を嫌がっていた娘がシュノーケリングをしたいと言ってきました。半信半疑申し込んだのですが、珊瑚礁の美しさに大満足だったようです。最初はライフジャケットをつけていたのですが、途中からはずして潜ったりもできるようになりました。ウミヘビやウミガメを見えて大喜びです。終わった後、また来たいと言ってくれました。来年もシュノーケリングをしたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。

We chose this tour because it was our first time in Okinawa. Since it was peak season and the roads were crowded, I think taking the bus was a good choice. Both adults and children enjoyed visiting attractions like the Pineapple Park and the aquarium, as well as the beautiful ocean! I felt that the 2.5 hours we spent at the aquarium was just right. During the bus ride, the guide provided explanations and information that helped us learn things we didn't know before. I'm glad we participated in the tour and created wonderful memories during our limited time on this trip.

私達は初めての沖縄だったのでこのツアーにお願いしました。ちょうどハイシーズンの沖縄で道路も混んでいたのでバスで良かったと思ってます。子供が楽しめるパイナップルパークや水族館、綺麗な海を見て大人も子供も楽しみました！水族館に2.5時間の滞在でちょうど良かったと感じました。バスの中ではガイドさんの説明や案内があり知らなかった事も理解できて勉強になりました。限られた時間の旅行の中でツアーに参加していい思い出ができてよかったです。

I participated with my 2-year-old and 7-year-old children. Since it was a large boat, I felt safe even with small kids. We were able to see a sea turtle resting on the coral reef!

2才と7才の子供と一緒に参加しました。大きな船なので、小さい子供がいても安心でした。ウミガメがサンゴ礁で休んでるところが見られました！

I had an experience that felt like being in the Dragon Palace with the transparent sea, fish, and sea turtles. There were many guests from overseas, making it lively and fun on the boat. The staff were cheerful, and they took a lot of photos, which made me very satisfied. I would like to participate again next year.

透明な海と魚たち、ウミガメ。まるで竜宮城にいるような体験ができました。海外からのお客さまも大勢いらして船の上でも賑やかで楽しかったです。
スタッフの皆さんも明るく、写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足です。
また来年も参加したいと思います。

I traveled to Okinawa with my son. Since my son wanted to do marine sports, I applied for this program. We had a lot of fun with banana boat rides, jet boat rides, and an exploration tour. The sea in Okinawa is beautiful, and the weather was perfect—absolutely delightful!

沖縄に息子とぱぱ〔私〕で2人旅行しました。
息子がマリンスポーツしたい！といっていましたので、この企画に応募しました。
バナナボートとジェットボート、探検ツアーと盛りだくさん楽しませてもらいました。
沖縄の海が綺麗で、天気も最高、、満喫、満喫、言うことなし。

I had the impression that it would take about two hours by boat to reach the Kerama Islands, so I thought it would be difficult time-wise and had given up on the idea. However, this tour allows you to snorkel around the Kerama Islands in just 30 minutes from Naha. I was worried about seasickness, but 30 minutes is within my tolerance, and I felt a sense of fulfillment from coming to Kerama, making it a satisfying tour. I noticed there were many foreign guests, and I thought the crew must have a tough job.

慶良間諸島は船で約2時間かかるというイメージがあり、時間的にむずかしいかなと思い断念してましたが今回のこのツアーは那覇から30分で慶良間諸島のあたりでシュノーケルできる。
船酔いの心配があったので、30分ほどであれば許容範囲だし、慶良間に来たという充実感もあり満足なツアーでした。
外国の方が多くてクルーの人は大変だなと思いました。

This tour was absolutely amazing overall! With the careful guidance from our guide, we paddled our own canoe through the mystical mangroves! It was truly moving! The snorkeling allowed us to explore a beautiful underwater world that felt like stepping into the realms of Nemo and Ariel, where we encountered many fish and colorful coral reefs!!! Additionally, the guide shared information about the nature of Ishigaki Island, which was educational as well! The cancellation policy was also well-structured; they called the day before the tour to inform us about the weather conditions and whether the tour would proceed. If it couldn't go ahead, they confirmed whether we could cancel for free or reschedule for another day, which made us feel secure about participating in the tour!!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Ishigaki Island!!!

今回のツアーは全体的に最高でした！ガイドさんからの丁寧な指導があった上で、神秘的なマングローブの中を自分でカヌーをこいで進んでゆきます！感動しました！シュノーケリングは、まるでニモやアリエルの世界に入り込んだかのような美しい海中を探検することができ、たくさんの魚や色とりどりの珊瑚礁に出会うことができます！！！また、ガイドさんが石垣島の自然についてお話をしてくだり、学びにもつながります！キャンセルポリシーもしっかりしており、ツアーの前日に電話で天候状況によるツアー決行の有無を伝えてくださり、もし決行できない場合は無料キャンセルか別日に改めるかの確認がしっかりあったため、安心してツアーに参加することができました！！！石垣島を訪れた際にはぜひ参加してほしいツアーです！！！

If I had to say something, I wish the visibility in the water on the day had been a bit better. Also, while it can't be helped, it took a long time to anchor, and when we were packing up, it took time to remove the anchor (probably to avoid damaging the coral), which might have caused my partner to feel a bit seasick. I understand there are budget considerations, but it would have been nice to have cut fruits like pineapple available when we came back from the sea, similar to overseas tours.

絞りだして、しいて言うならば、
当日の海中の透明度がもう少し良ければよかったかと。
また、仕方ないことですが、アンカリングが時間がかかったのと、撤収の際もアンカーを外すのに（おそらくサンゴを傷つけないためだと思いますが）時間がかかってしまい、一緒に行ったパートナーが少し船酔いしてしまったことでしょうか。
予算のこともあると思いますが、海から上がった時に（海外ツアーのように）パイン等カットした果物がおいてあればありがたかったかもです。

We participated in a one-day tour of SUP at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave with my child. The instructor was very kind and attentive, even speaking in English to my son, who is not very fluent in Japanese, allowing both of us to have a wonderful time. We are also grateful for the many photos taken. I'm really glad we participated. Thank you very much.

川平湾SUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングの1日ツアーに親子で参加しました。インストラクターの方もとても親切で、日本語があまり流暢でない息子にも英語で気配りして下さり、親子共々とても良い時間を過ごす事が出来ました。また、沢山の写真を撮って頂けて感謝です。参加して本当に良かったです。有難うございました。

It's perfect for those who want to explore various places in Okinawa! However, there's never enough time everywhere! I was hopping on and off in the heat... It was very fulfilling, but also very tiring.

Also, since there aren't any scheduled bathroom breaks, it might be tough for those with small children.

Additionally, the bus seats can't recline, so it was hard to get any rest...

I might not use this service again... I would appreciate a tour that's a bit more relaxed.

盛りだくさんで、色々沖縄を周りたい人にはピッタリ！
ただ、時間がどこでも足りないー！！
バタバタと暑い中乗ったり降りたり…
とっても充実してたけど、とっても疲れたー

あと、トイレ休憩の時間が取られてないので、小さいお子さんがいる方は大変かも？

また、バスの座席は倒せないルールで寝れないし、辛かった…

次はもう利用しないかな…
もう少しゆったりなツアーがあると嬉しいです。

The instructors were kind, and the children were very satisfied. Even though it was their first experience, they seemed to enjoy it without being scared. I would like to participate again if there is another opportunity. Thank you very much.

インストラクターの方も親切で子供達も大満足でした。
初めての経験なのに怖がらず、すごく楽しめたようてす。
また機会があればもう一度参加したいです。
ありがとう御座いました

A tour to Yufushima riding water buffaloes.
The water buffaloes were so gentle and it was incredibly soothing!
If you're going to Iriomote Island, I definitely recommend participating in this tour.
Even on the bus to the water buffalo riding area, they shared a lot of information about Iriomote Island, making the journey enjoyable!
Thank you very much! ^ ^

水牛に乗って由布島に行くツアー
水牛たちがおっとりしてて癒されまくりでした！
西表島行くのであれば是非参加して頂きたいツアーです。
水牛乗り場に行くまだのバスの中でもたくさんの西表島の情報を話してくださり移動中も楽しめました！
ありがとうございました^ ^

The exchange at the airport was helpful, but there were many similar places, and I ended up making a mistake. It was great that I could go at a good price.

空港での引き換えは助かりましたが、場所が似た所が多く間違えてしまいました。
お得に行けたのはとても良かったです。

The bus arrived at the hotel right at 9:45. I requested the course to Pineapple Park and the aquarium hoping the kids would enjoy it, and along the way, the guide shared a lot about Okinawa's history and culture, which was fun. At Pineapple Park, there were dinosaurs, and the kids were super excited. I was happy to be able to taste some wine. The color of the sea at Kōrijima took my breath away. The aquarium was so big that some foreigners were running late, but overall, I think we stayed on schedule. My son mentioned that he wants to show the guide, who has never seen snow, some snow one day. I would like to join other tours as well.

9:45ピッタリにホテルにバスが到着しました。子どもが喜べばとパイナップルパークと水族館のコースを頼んだのですが、道中ガイドさんが沖縄の歴史や文化をたくさん話してくれて楽しかったです。パイナップルパークでは恐竜がいて子どものテンション爆上がりでした。私はワインが試飲できてよかったかな。こおりしまの海の色、心が震えました。水族館は大きすぎて時間に遅れる外人さんいたけど概ね予定通りに進んだと思います。雪を見た事のないガイドさんに、いつか雪を見せたいと息子が申しておりました。また他のツアーも参加したいです。

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but the staff held onto a float for me the whole time, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it until the end. My son also had a great time feeding the fish. Thank you very much. I would love to join a tour that teaches skin diving someday as well.

初めてのシュノーケルで不安がありましたが、スタッフの方がずっと浮き輪を持ってくださり最後まで安心して楽しめました。息子も魚に餌がやれ、とても楽しそうでした。ありがとうございました。いつかスキンダイビングも教えてもらえるツアーがあればまた参加したいです。

We participated as a family of four. The weather was clear and calm, perfect for snorkeling. The shop had excellent facilities, including showers and changing rooms. The instructor's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind.

家族４人で参加しました。当日は快晴で風もない絶好のシュノーケル日和でした。ショップのシャワーや更衣室など設備が充実していました。インストラクターの方の説明が丁寧で分かりやすく安心して楽しむことができました。

I searched for a tour from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium and decided on this packed tour from VELTRA, which I always use. My honest impression is that maybe just the Churaumi Aquarium would have been enough? This aquarium has the famous large tank, and the power of this tank is incredible; I was captivated for a long time watching the graceful swimming of whale sharks and rays. There’s also an outdoor area with dolphins and manatees, and above all, the aquarium grounds are spacious, so it takes time to walk around. Unfortunately, the two hours we had were not enough, and I regretted not being able to spend more time at the aquarium if we were going to allocate time to places like the Okashi Goten and Ryukyu Village. Next time, I’ll choose a tour that focuses more on the aquarium (maybe plus one more stop?).

From referring to other experiences, I realized that the biggest issue with this bus tour was that the foreign male guide had difficulty with Japanese and didn’t provide any explanations beyond the meeting and departure times. I really wanted to have a good guide…

美ら海水族館に那覇から行けるツアーを探して、いつも利用しているVELTRAさんのツアーを検索し、盛りだくさんのこちらのツアーに決めました。率直な感想としては、美ら海水族館だけでよかったかな？こちらの水族館には、例の有名な大水槽があり、この水槽の迫力はすごくて、ジンベイザメやエイなどが優雅に泳ぐ様子に長らく目を奪われます。屋外でもイルカやマナティーのコーナーもあり、何より、水族館の敷地も広くて、歩き回るにも時間がかかります。とても決められた２時間では時間が足りず、残念でした。お菓子御殿や琉球村等に時間を割くのであれば、水族館に十分時間をかけたかったです。次は水族館（＋１くらい？）のツアーにします！
※他の体験談を参照して、今回のバスツアーは、ガイドの外国人男性が日本語も不自由で、何時に集合・出発以外、これといった説明もしていただけなかったことが一番の問題だとわかりました。良いガイドさんにあたりたかったです…。

The service from the staff and the overall experience satisfaction were all top-notch! Despite the rain forecast making snorkeling difficult, they quickly arranged to separate the sunset canoe and snorkeling days for us!

The sunset canoe experience was amazing, with the beauty of the sunset, the satisfaction of the canoeing experience, the instructor's support, guidance, and overall fun being exceptional!

On a different day, I had the opportunity to go snorkeling, and it was a lot of fun as they carefully explained various sea creatures and how to swim.

Thank you very much!!

従業員のご対応、体験満足度全てが最高でした！
雨予報でシュノーケルが難しい中、急遽サンセットカヌーとシュノーケルの日を分けていただきました！

サンセットカヌー体験はサンセットの綺麗さカヌーの体験満足度、インストラクターさんのご対応、案内、楽しさ全てが最高でした！

別日程でシュノーケリングをさせて頂きましたが、
色んな海の生き物の解説や泳ぎ方などを丁寧に教えて頂き大変楽しかったです！

ありがとうございました！！

I was recommended the Kerama Sea by a friend and signed up for this plan. I chose the morning plan. The beautiful blue sea and coral reefs were healing. We even saw sea turtles! My husband and son were also very satisfied, and this was the most memorable part of our trip. We were able to download the photos for free as well. Thank you very much.

友人にから慶良間の海をすすめられて、こちらのプランに申し込みました。
午前中のプランを申し込みました。とても美しい青い海、サンゴ礁に癒されました。ウミガメも見られました！主人、息子も大満足で、今回の旅行でも一番印象に残っています。お写真も無料ダウンロードでいただけました。ありがとうございました。

Since I was staying at a hotel in Naha City, I was wondering how to get to the Churaumi Aquarium, but then I found and applied for this plan. I was also glad to be able to visit the Nago Pineapple Park, which I had been interested in for a while. It was a full-day tour, but it was very fulfilling, and I am extremely satisfied. Thank you very much.

那覇市内のホテルに泊まっていたため、美ら海水族館は遠く、どうしようかと思っていたところ、こちらのプランを見つけ申し込みました。
以前より興味があった名護パイナップルパークも行けてよかったです。
一日ツアーになりますが、とても充実しており大満足です。ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four. The kayak tour was fun as we learned a lot about mangroves and took many photos. We felt relaxed in the mangrove forest. Although we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to strong winds during snorkeling, the underwater scenery was beautiful and moving. If I get the chance to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to participate once more. It became the best memory. Thank you very much.

家族4人で参加。カヤックツアーではマングローブの事を色々教えてもらったり写真をたくさん取ってもらったり楽しかったです。マングローブの森の中で癒されました。シュノーケリングは風が強く青の洞窟は行けなかったのですが、海の中は綺麗で感動しました。また石垣島に行けたらぜひもう一度参加したいです。最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four. Due to strong winds, we went to the alternative location, Ohsaki Beach. It was the kids' (teenagers) first time snorkeling, and they weren't very confident swimmers, so they were a bit anxious. However, thanks to Chloe's attentive encouragement and help, they were able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Although it wasn't the Blue Cave, the underwater scenery was truly beautiful and moving. My daughter said snorkeling was the most fun, and it became the best memory for our family. Thank you very much.

家族4人で参加しました。風が強くて代替えの大崎ビーチとなりました。子供達（10代）にとって初めてのシュノーケリングで、泳ぎも得意ではなくて不安でしたが、クロエさんの細やかな声かけとヘルプのおかげで安心して楽しめました。青の洞窟ではなかったけれど、海の中は本当に綺麗で感動しました。娘はシュノーケリングが一番楽しかったらしく家族の最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

We participated with two elementary school children and an adult family member. Last year, we booked a tour with another company to the Blue Cave, but it was closed, so we couldn't go. When I called this time to check in the morning, they said it was closed and we would go to another location, but just before we were about to enter, it opened up! We were incredibly lucky!

The cave was crowded, and there was a bit of a traffic jam while snorkeling, but it was truly amazing to see the blue light without any artificial lights, and the kids were really moved! The guide was very efficient and even took photos and videos for us, so we had a wonderful time!

The kids thought the handsome guy with dark skin, brown hair, and white teeth looked cool, and they said they wanted to have that hairstyle! Thank you very much!

小学生2人と大人の家族で参加しました。昨年も他ツアー会社で青の洞窟を申し込んだが、クローズのため行けず。今回も朝到着の電話をした時には、クローズで行けないので他の場所に行きまーすとの事だったけど、ちょうど入る直前にオープンになり！！めちゃくちゃラッキーでした！
洞窟は混雑しており、シュノーケリングしながらの渋滞でしたが、ほんとにライトとかなく青く光っていて子供達と感動をしました！ガイドのお兄さんも、テキパキと動いてくれて写真、動画まで撮ってくださりとても楽しい時間が過ごせました！
子供は黒く焼けて茶色の髪、白い歯のお兄さんがカッコよく見えたようで、あの髪型にしたいと言ってました笑ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family. Due to bad weather, we went snorkeling at a spot other than the Blue Cave, but the guide was really considerate of my and my child's condition, allowing us to take it slow, which I truly appreciated. Being able to give my first-grade child their first snorkeling experience and the chance to encounter a sea turtle became the best memory. Thank you very much!

家族での参加でした。
天候不良で青の洞窟ではないスポットのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドの方が私や子どもの体調を気遣ってくれて、ゆっくり進めてくれたのが、本当にありがたかったです。
小学校１年生の子どもに人生初のシュノーケリング体験やウミガメとの出会いをプレゼントできたのが、最高の思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

After the reception, we had to wait for over 30 minutes in a sauna-like environment on the ship due to customers not showing up even after the departure time. My daughter collapsed from heatstroke just before we disembarked. Since it was stated to be our own responsibility, of course, there was no refund. Our family endured, thinking the ship would depart on time, but when it became difficult, we should have spoken up to the staff without hesitation. My daughter's condition did not improve afterward... I hope at least this experience can serve as a reference for everyone.

受付後、出発時刻を過ぎても現れないお客様がいるなど、結果的に30分以上サウナのような船内で待たされ、娘が熱中症で倒れ直前で下船しました。
自己責任とのことで勿論返金もありません。
定刻には出発するであろうと家族一同耐えていましたが、辛いと思った時点で遠慮せずスタッフに声を掛けるべきでした。その後も娘の体調は回復せず…せめてこの体験が皆様の参考になればと思います。

The mangrove kayaking was very pleasant, and I was able to feel the great outdoors. The tour guide, Shotaro, conducted the tour smoothly, and I was very satisfied. They also took a lot of photos for us. Thank you very much.

マングローブカヤックはとても気持ち良く、大自然を感じることができました。ツアーガイドのしょうたろうさんがスムーズに進行して下さり大変満足です。写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。ありがとうございました。

Due to summer vacation, each theme park was extremely crowded. At Pineapple Park, I honestly couldn't take my time to enjoy it and had to rush to buy souvenirs. Even so, my grandchild was very happy and said they had fun. Churaumi Aquarium was also as crowded as expected. Still, my grandchild said they enjoyed it. On Kouri Island, the sea was beautiful. Although we couldn't swim, it was a lovely place. However, I thought that a two-hour drive to the first theme park was a bit too long.

夏休みということもあり、各テーマパークは激混み。パイナップルパークでは正直ゆっくり見るということができず、慌ただしくお土産も慌てて買うような状況。それでも、孫は、楽しかったとおおよろこびでした。美ら海水族館も、予想通り激混み。それでも、やはり孫は楽しかったと言ってました。古宇利島では、綺麗な海。海水浴はできなかったけど、綺麗な所です。
ただ、最初のテーマパークまで2時間は、ちょっと長すぎるかなと思います。

In the morning, we participated in a SUP session at Kabira Bay, and in the afternoon, we joined a snorkeling tour with the family. I was worried about the rain that started the day before, but somehow it held off, and the tour went ahead! It was the first experience for all of us with SUP, but the instructor provided thorough guidance, and we had a great time(^^).

In the afternoon, due to the weather, we changed from the Blue Cave to Okasaki Beach for snorkeling, but thanks to that, we were able to see a sea turtle☆ The underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful, and we saw coral and many fish! If we have the chance to come again, there's no doubt we'll experience it once more!

午前中は川平湾でSUP、午後はシュノーケリングのツアーに家族で参加しました。前日から降り始めた雨が気掛かりでしたが何とか持ち堪えツアーは決行！SUPは家族全員初体験でしたが、インストラクターの方が丁寧にレクチャーしてくれてすごく楽しめました(^^)
午後のシュノーケリングは天気の都合で青の洞窟から大崎ビーチに変更になりましたが、そのおかげか、ウミガメに会うことが出来ました☆
海の中もすごく綺麗で珊瑚やたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました！
また今度来ることがあったらもう一度体験すること間違いなしです！

This time, we used Adventure Island for our family trip for the first time.

I was looking forward to snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to strong winds, we couldn't go by boat, so they prepared an alternative spot for us. It was a fun location where we could see a lot of fish, and they provided very thorough explanations about the equipment, how to use it, information about the fish, and underwater photography. Our family of four was very satisfied.

Next, my daughter participated in her first experience diving. When entering the water, she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe properly, but thanks to the time taken to practice slowly and the continuous encouragement, she was able to relax and dive safely! The commemorative photo with the clownfish became an unforgettable memory.

After the experience, we were able to use the shower and makeup area at the shop, which allowed us to comfortably proceed to our next plans. I definitely want to use their services again when we go to Okinawa next time. Thank you very much! ♪

今回家族旅行で、初めて冒険島さんを利用させて頂きました。

楽しみにしていた青の洞窟シュノーケリングでしたが、強風の為船で行けないとの事で、代替えポイントを用意してくださいました。魚が沢山見れる楽しいポイントだったし、器材説明、使い方、魚の説明、水中での写真撮影等、本当に丁寧にして頂き、家族4人大満足でした。

続いて娘が初めて体験ダイビングに参加しました。
入水時、緊張のあまりうまく呼吸出来なかったけれど、ゆっくり練習する時間をとって、声をかけ続けて下さったお陰でリラックスし、無事に潜る事ができました！
クマノミと一緒の記念撮影は、忘れられない思い出になりました。

体験後も、ショップにて、シャワー、化粧直しコーナー等を使わせて頂き、快適に次の予定に進む事ができました。
また次回沖縄に行く時も、是非利用させて頂きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました♪

I wanted to make the most of the time until my departure on the last day, so I signed up. I highly recommend it as you can enjoy local spots like Kabira Bay from the window of the car.

最終日の出発までの時間を有効に使いたくて、申し込みました。
川平湾を始め地元ならではの場所を車窓からながめられ、とてもおすすめです
