All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

ホテルは見つけるのが簡単ではありませんでしたが、ドライバーは時間通りに到着しました。彼は注意深く、話を聞き、常に助けようとする姿勢がありました。言語の壁はありましたが、非常にプロフェッショナルでした。島での素晴らしい旅を手助けしてくれてありがとう。

The hotel was not easy to find but the driver was there punctual. He was attentive, listening and always eager to help. Again with the language barriers but very profesional.
Thanks for helping to have a wonderful journey in the island.

I was able to circle around Ishigaki Island, and the bus guide provided various explanations during the bus ride, so I never got bored. The male bus guide, who has lived in Ishigaki Island for a long time, sang Okinawan folk songs and spoke in the local dialect, which was great for learning about Ishigaki Island!

I recommend this for first-time visitors to Ishigaki Island.

石垣島を一周できて、バス移動中もバスガイドさんが色々な解説をしてくれるので飽きることなく過ごせました。
石垣島にずっとお住まいの男性バスガイドさんで沖縄民謡を歌ってくれたり、石垣島の言葉を話してくれたり、石垣島のことを知れて良かったです！

初めての石垣島の方にオススメです。

It was our first trip to Okinawa as a couple. Since my husband would be driving the entire time if we only rented a car, we decided to enjoy a bus tour for one day. The Pineapple Park, the beautiful sea, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium were all part of the tour, and it was fantastic! We spent an hour at the Pineapple Park, and it was so much fun that it flew by. We rushed through the souvenir shop, so I want to go back again. The bus guide was very good at telling stories, and it was pleasant to listen to him. After returning home, we reminisced about the trip together, saying how great the guide was.

夫婦で初めての沖縄旅行でした。
レンタカーだけだと夫がずっと運転になるので一日はバスツアーを利用して楽しむことにしました。
パイナップルパーク、きれいな海、美ら海水族館、ツアーのコースとてもよかったです！
パイナップルパークは１時間ありましたが楽しくてあっという間でした。お土産屋さん急ぎ足になってしまったのでまた行きたいです。
バスガイドさんのお話しが上手で心地よく聞くことがでしました。帰ってからもガイドさんよかったねと夫婦で旅行の余韻に浸りました。

I was able to fully enjoy visiting all the spots I wanted to go to. Since we could travel by bus, my husband and I were able to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere, and it was nice to be able to sleep when we got tired. They took us to and from the hotel where we stayed, so it was reassuring not to get lost. It was also great that we could take bathroom breaks at various points along the way.

行きたかったスポットを一通り回ってくれるので満喫できました。
バスで移動できるので夫と2人で景色や雰囲気を楽しむことができ、疲れたら眠ることもできよかったです。
行きも帰りも宿泊したホテルまで連れて行ってくれるので迷わず安心でした。
トイレ休憩も所々でできたので、これもありがたかったです。

It was winter snorkeling, but I was comfortable wearing a wetsuit. The Blue Cave was very beautiful and magical, and I enjoyed snorkeling around the cave where I could see many fish. Each group had an instructor assigned to us, so it was great to have many photos taken underwater. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

冬のシュノーケリングでしたがウエットスーツ着用で快適。
青の洞窟はとてもキレイで幻想的、洞窟のまわりでのシュノーケリングでたくさんの魚が見られて楽しかったです。
インストラクターさんがグループごとに1人付いて下さるので、海の中での写真をたくさん撮っていただけてよかったです。よい記念になりました。ありがとうございました♪

I found this tour during my last trip to Ishigaki. Unfortunately, it was fully booked on the date I wanted to use it, but I finally got to try it this time. I was able to check my large suitcase on the bus, and we enjoyed a tour around Ishigaki Island with a hamburger lunch included. The guide's explanations were full of information about Ishigaki, making it feel fresh even though I had visited several times before. There were many sightseeing opportunities from the bus, but we also got to enjoy the scenery while getting off at various spots. (It was unfortunate that the optional glass-bottom boat was canceled due to strong winds.) The weather was bad, and carrying a large suitcase to the airport using the local bus was tough, so I was glad I made a reservation. Traveling hands-free was really convenient. We arrived at Ishigaki Airport early, which gave us time to buy souvenirs, making our last day fulfilling. I was dealing with a back injury, and my husband had hurt his arm, so it was great to have an easy and enjoyable experience. The driver positively advised, "It's rare to see such cold weather in Ishigaki!" Indeed, it was a memorable experience. I think it was worth the 4,700 yen.

前回石垣旅行に見つけたこのツアー。たまたま利用希望日に満席で利用できなかったのですが、今回初利用。大きなスーツケースをバスに預けられて、ぐるっと石垣本島の観光にハンバーグランチ付き。ガイドさんの説明も石垣情報満載で何度か訪れた石垣旅でも新鮮でした。車窓観光も多いのですが下車観光もしながら景色も楽しめました。（かなりの強風でオプションのグラスボートは全便運休で残念でしたが）お天気も悪く、大きなスーツケースを持ち歩いて空港まで路線バスを利用するのもきつかったので、予約できて良かったです。何しろ手ぶら観光が楽ちん。石垣空港にも早めに着いて空港のお土産も買える時間もあって最終日充実できました。ちょうど私自身がぎっくり腰、主人も腕を痛めていたので本当に楽ちんで楽しめて良かったです。運転手さんが『こんなに寒い石垣の観光もレアですよ〜』とポジティブアドバイス。確かに！といい思い出です。４７００円の価値ありかと。

I had a great time, even though the schedule was a bit tight as we visited various places. I attended with a 3-year-old, and I really appreciated all the care and consideration shown to us!

色々なところを巡るので時間は少々タイトでしたが、とても楽しめました。3歳児を連れての参加でしたが、色々気にかけて頂いたり配慮頂きとても助かりました！

Since I didn't rent a car this time, I joined this tour to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Just the round-trip fare on the local bus and the entrance fee make this tour worth it. We were able to sightsee at Kouri Island and Manzamo, which felt like a great deal. On the way back, we got off at American Village, which was the perfect timing for watching the sunset at the hotel.

今回レンタカーではなかったので、美海水族館に行くのに、このツアーに参加しました。路線バスでの往復料金や入園料だけでもこのツアーで元が取れます。古宇利島や万座毛まで観光でき、お得感満載でした。帰りはアメリカンビレッジで下車しホテルで夕陽鑑賞というベストタイミングでした。

We participated as a three-generation family. The content was just right, but it was a hassle that we had to go to the hotel next door to the one we were staying at.

3世代家族で参加しました。ちょうど良い内容でしたが、宿泊していたホテルの隣のホテルまで行かないといけなかったのが面倒でした。

I thought it would be tiring to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots in Okinawa in one day by renting a car, so I signed up for a day tour. The bus guide provided clear and thorough explanations about the municipalities we passed through, which were very interesting, so I wasn't bored at all during the travel time. I was also grateful for the ample time spent at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It was a fun and fulfilling day!

レンタカーを借りて1日で効率よく沖縄の観光名所を巡るのが疲れると思って、日帰りツアーに申し込みました。
バスガイドさんが途中通る市町村の話などもわかりやすく、丁寧にたくさん説明してくださいました。とても興味深い内容だったので、移動時間も全然退屈ではありませんでした。
沖縄美ら海水族館の滞在時間も十分だったので、ありがたかったです。楽しくて充実な1日でした！

I was looking forward to snorkeling in the Blue Cave, but I received notice the day before that it was canceled due to strong winds. I was hesitant, but the SUP experience turned out to be the right choice.

We got to see the mangroves up close during the Nakagawa River cruise in Iriomote Island, and the kids, who were initially reluctant, ended up loving it.

They are already asking to go again.

The instructor recommended a restaurant, and we were seated right away, but I noticed there was a line of people waiting.

I was given the name of a delicious restaurant.

青の洞窟シュノーケリングを楽しみにしていたのですが、前日強風のために中止との連絡が有り迷ったのですが、サップ体験は正解でした。
西表島の仲間川遊覧で見たマングローブを触れるほど近距離で見れたし、最初は嫌がっていた子供達がハマりました。

また行きたいとせがまれています。

インストラクターの方おすすめのお店、入店して直ぐ席に着けましたが気がつくとお待ちの列・・

美味しいお店を教えていただきました。

I have taken this ride several times in the past. It's a convenient course for exploring Ishigaki Island in a short time. Day trips from Naha are also possible (you can get off at the airport).
On this day, there happened to be a marathon event, which caused a delay of about 30 minutes due to stops along the way. We also took a detour, running through different rural roads than usual.
Unfortunately, the charm of Kabira Bay, known for its blue waters, was somewhat diminished due to the drizzly weather. The lunch included in the course was a healthy menu, which might be suitable for seniors.

過去にも何回か乗車しています。短時間で石垣島をめぐるには便利なコースです。那覇からの日帰り利用もできます（空港下車可能）。
この日はたまたまマラソン大会とぶつかり、途中停車で３０分ほどロスがありました。また迂回のため、通常とは異なる農道なども走りました。
なお小雨まじりの空模様だったので、ブルーが売り物の川平湾の魅力は残念ながら半減していました。コースに含まれる昼食は健康的なメニューで、シニア向きかもしれません。

I thought it wouldn't be great from the start, but it exceeded my expectations. The best experience until now was with the talented guide from Miyazaki Kotsu, who was a classic model of excellence. Even so, I thought it was impressive that they still maintain such a high standard today. This time, I must say, it's truly Okinawa; I doubt anything could surpass this. I take my hat off to Okinawa. I look forward to what lies ahead, overcoming history and current challenges. This was my first time in Okinawa, and I wish I had come sooner.

スタートからやるなと思っていたが、予想を超えた。今までの最高点は宮崎交通の歌の上手なガイドさん、昔ながらの模範的な、それでも今の評価でまだこんないい感じをと思っていたが、今回のはさすが沖縄か、まあこれ以上は無理でしょう。沖縄に脱帽です。歴史と現状を乗り越えての先に期待します。初めての沖縄、もっと早く来たかった。

Originally, I had planned to go to Kouri Island, but it was raining on the day, so I decided not to go. I consulted with the driver, and we set a new destination. Without showing any displeasure, he kindly helped me decide where to go, and we ended up visiting a memorable place. During the drive, he shared various stories with me. He mentioned wanting to take me to recommended spots that aren't in guidebooks. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we couldn't go there, but I truly had a wonderful time. I feel that choosing a charter was definitely the right decision.

If I have another opportunity, I would appreciate your help again! Thank you very much!!!

もともと古宇利島に行く予定だったのですが、当日雨が降っていて、行くのを断念。運転手さんと相談し新たな目的地を設定しました。嫌な顔ひとつせず、親身にどこに行くかの相談にのって下さり、思い出に残る場所に行けました。道中でも様々なお話をして下さりました。ガイドブックには載らないようなオススメの場所も連れていきたいといってくれました。じかんの都合で最終的にそこには行けませんでしたが、ほんとに楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。チャーターを選んで大正解だったなとしみじみ感じています。
また機会がありましたらよろしくお願い致します！
ありがとうございました！！！

The weather was perfect, and I had the best sightseeing experience. I visited the graves of Taiwanese people without knowing the full story. I was able to learn about a sad history for the first time. Kabira Bay was truly beautiful, with fantastic weather and stunning views. There were sea turtles as well. The hamburger lunch was also very filling. I had a great time sightseeing!

天気に恵まれ最高の観光ができました。台湾人のお墓参りは全く事実を知らないまま行きました。悲しい歴史を初めて知る事ができました。川平湾はまさに、天気最高で素晴らしい景色でした。ウミガメもいました。ハンバーグランチもボリュームたっぷりでお腹いっぱいです。いい観光ができました!

The grove of Yaeyama palm trees was great. The guide's stories and songs, filled with love for Ishigaki Island, were wonderful. The hamburger for lunch was delicious!

八重山ヤシの林が良かったです。石垣島愛があふれるガイドさんの話や、歌も素敵でした。お昼ご飯のハンバーグが美味しかった‼︎

I participated on January 6th (Friday). The bus guide was very pleasant and seemed to be in their element, which was lucky for us. During the bus ride, we received a lot of interesting information about Okinawa's history and National Route 58, which was great. The tour was packed, starting from Ryukyu Village, then to Manza Beach, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. We departed from the Prefectural Office at 8:20 AM and returned around 7 PM.

In January, Okinawa often has bad weather, but fortunately, it didn't rain that day, making it just right for sightseeing. On rainy days, outdoor sightseeing can be quite challenging. In any case, the guide provided insights into the highlights of each tourist spot, and I was able to buy various souvenirs, making it a highly satisfying tour.

1月6日（金）に参加しました。
バスガイドさんの方が、とても感じがよく、天職につかれたような方で、
ラッキーでした。
バス移動中は、沖縄のこれまでの歴史だったり、国道58線のことだったり、
プチ情報が多い点も良きでした。
観光については、琉球村から始まり、万座毛、美ら海水族館と、てんこ盛りなツアーでした。朝8時20分に県庁前出発から19時県庁前着の感じでした。
１月の沖縄は、天候が悪い日が多い中、たまたま、雨も降らず、観光するには、丁度良かったです。雨の日だと、外での観光も多いので、大変かもしれませんね。
いずれにせよ、観光スポットの見どころを都度案内してくださり、お土産も色々買うことができましたし、満足度の高いツアーになりました。

My wife and I participated together. Since it was a bus tour, we were able to enjoy it without any worries about transportation or sightseeing spots, which was great. The admission fees for the Churaumi Aquarium and Ryukyu Village were included in the tour price, and they can be quite expensive if purchased separately, so it was a very good deal. The guide was also a very nice person and provided a lot of information, so we never got bored. I would like to use this tour again the next time I come to Okinawa.

妻と2人で参加しました。バスツアーなので、移動や観光地に関して何の不安もなく臨めたので良かったです。
美ら海水族館や琉球村の入館料がツアー代に含まれていましたが、普通に買ったら結構お高いので、かなりお得なツアーだったのではないでしょうか。
ガイドの方もとても良い人で、たくさんガイドしてくださったので、飽きることがありませんでした。
次沖縄に来た時にも利用したいと思いました。

I was glad to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots in Okinawa. With a rental car, it's hard for the driver to take breaks, but traveling by bus allowed me to rest during the one-hour trips, which was really convenient! On the day I participated, the weather was also favorable, and the sea was beautiful, so I felt lucky.

効率よく沖縄の観光名所を巡れて良かったです。
レンタカーだと運転手が休憩をとりにくいですが、バス移動のため1時間程度の移動の時は眠れたりするので楽チンでした！
参加させていただいた日は天候にも恵まれて、とても海も綺麗でラッキーでした。

The guide's voice was beautiful.
The weather was nice, and the tour content was fulfilling.
I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.
Thank you very much.

ガイドさんの声が綺麗
天候がよく、ツアー内容も充実
また、機会が有れば利用したい
ありがとうございました

The guide was kind, and I was glad to participate as they provided detailed information about the history and animals of Iriomote Island! The scenery, including the mangroves, was also very satisfying during the stand-up paddleboarding! The guide on the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island sang with a shamisen, creating a wonderful atmosphere! Overall, I’m really glad I participated!

ガイドさんが親切で、西表島の歴史や動物の話が詳しくて参加して良かったです！サップ中もマングローブなどの景観がよく満足でした！由布島にいく水牛車のガイドさんが三味線で歌を唄ってくれて雰囲気が最高でした！とにかく参加して良かったです！

The bus guide was fantastic. They could play the shamisen and sing, showcasing a lot of talent. The content of their stories was profound, and their voice was beautiful, like an NHK announcer.

バスガイドさんが大当たりでした。三味線弾けるし歌えるしで多彩な方でした。お話しの内容も深く、声も美しく、NHKのアナウンサーのようでした。

It was my first time participating in a VELTRA tour, and I received detailed emails that made me feel at ease until the day of the tour. The transportation during the tour went almost as scheduled, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a wonderful memory.

初めてのVELTRAツアー参加でしたが、丁寧にメイルが届き、参加当日まで安心出来ました。
ツアーの移動もほぼ予定通りで天気にも恵まれて、良い思い出になりました。

This time, I traveled without a rental car and participated in a tour for the first time.
Although it was from morning until evening, there was not a single wasted movement; it was incredibly efficient!
This tour was perfect for someone like me who is impatient.
However, it might be a bit challenging for those who prefer to take their time or need to walk slowly...

Since the schedule was tight, even for someone like me who doesn't usually take their time, I didn't have any extra time.
It wasn't my first time visiting these places, and I wasn't looking to relax, so it felt great to see them again after a while! The time management was excellent!
Moreover, on the way back, we took the highway and had a light sandwich (which was simple but delicious), and with the entrance fees and everything included, along with a guide, this price... is too cheap!!
I thought that from now on, tours might be the way to go for sightseeing in Okinawa!

今回レンタカーなしでの旅行にしたので初めてツアーに参加しました。
朝から夕方までの時間ですが何ひとつ無駄な動きはなく、ものすごく効率的でした！
せっかちの私にはピッタリのツアーです。
もしかすると、ゆっくりめに見たい方、ゆっくり歩かないといけない方にはちょっと大変かもしれません…

時間がタイトなので、せっかちでゆっくり見たつもりは全くない私でも時間が余ることはなかったです。
私にとっては初めて行く場所な訳でもなく、のんびりしたい訳ではなかったので久々にまた見れた〜！って感じで時間配分とっても良かったです！
しかも帰りは高速乗って帰って軽食のサンドイッチ(シンプルで美味しかったです)もあり、入館料もろもろ入ってガイドさんもついてこの値段…安すぎます！！
これから沖縄観光はツアーでいいかも！って思いました！！

It was so much fun that it ended in the blink of an eye. Although it was cloudy on the day, the visibility underwater was clear and interesting. I recommend going at high tide. For those planning to go, I suggest checking the high tide schedule before making a reservation. It seems that the weather doesn't matter, so even if it's rainy or cloudy, you can enjoy it without feeling down. This is an activity I can definitely recommend.

　とても楽しかったのであっと言う間に終わってしまった。
　当日は曇天だったが、海の中がはっきり見えて面白かった。満潮のタイミングで行くのがおすすめとのこと。これから行かれる方には満潮時を調べてから予約することをおすすめしたい。天気は関係ないらしいので、雨、くもりでも気を落とすことなく楽しめるので、おすすめできるアクティビティです。

Even when I entered the phone number and name into the navigation, it didn't work, so I searched and called instead. It's near the aquarium, along the road, a white building, just as the reviews said.

ナビに電話番号を入れても名前などいれても、ダメで、検索して電話をいれました。
水族館近くで、道路沿い、白い建物ですが、
口コミの通り

I was glad to be taken to the places I wanted to go.
For lunch, I would have preferred local specialties from Ishigaki Island instead of hamburgers.
I recommend the natural juice from Papa-ya and the mineral-rich salt in front of the parking lot at the Yonabaru Tropical Rainforest.
The view from Tamatorizaki Observatory is a spectacular spot where you can see the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice.
The guide's folk songs were also great.

行きたい所へ連れてって貰えたので良かったです。
昼食はハンバーグではなく、石垣島特産物が出ると良かったです。
米原熱帯雨林の駐車場前のぱぱ屋天然ジュースとミネラルが多いお塩はオススメします。
玉取崎展望台からの眺望は東シナ海と太平洋が望める絶景スポット。天気が良ければもっと良かった。
ガイドさんの民謡も良かったです。

Great cost performance.
The guide did a great job.

I participated for a friend visiting Okinawa for the first time.
It was a fun and productive tour for the day.
I highly recommend it!

コスパ最高
ガイドさんグッジョブ

沖縄初めての友人の為参加しました
一日楽しく有効なツアーでした。
ぜひぜひお勧めします。

After kayaking through the mangroves, we went for a bit of canyoning to Nara Falls. We swam across the pool with a lively family. We had a fantastic time listening to our guide Kaede talk about the nature of Iriomote Island, the Iriomote wildcat, and the crested serpent eagle.
In the afternoon, we leisurely crossed to Yufu Island while being rocked by water buffalo. The gelato was exquisite. They didn't have that 30 years ago when I came. I hardly felt the passage of time; it truly is a World Heritage site.

マングローブをカヤックで進んだ後、ちょっとしたキャニオニングでナーラの滝へ。滝壺を泳ぎ渡る元気なご家族連れとご一緒しました。ガイドのカエデさんから西表島の自然やイリオモテヤマネコやカンムリワシの話を聞きながら、最高に楽しい時間を過ごしました。
　午後はゆったりと水牛に揺られて由布島に渡る。ジェラートが絶品。30年前に来た時にはなかったな。あまり時間の流れを感じなかったのが、さすが世界遺産。

I was unable to take this bus from New Year's Day. Despite having made a reservation through this system and receiving a confirmation voucher from the bus company, the bus did not arrive even though I was waiting at the designated boarding location before the specified departure time. When I called the company, I couldn't get through, and after a while, I received a call saying they would check on it. In the end, I had to take a taxi along the same route as the bus (of course, at the bus company's expense). If you plan to join a tour with this company, please be cautious.

元旦からこのバスに乗れませんでした。
このシステムで予約して、バス会社から確認のバウチャーが来ていたにも関わらず、指定の出発時間の前から、指定の乗車場所で待っていたにも関わらず、バスは来ませんでした。
会社に電話をしても繋がらず、しばらくしてから確認をしますとの電話が来ました。
結局はバスのコースと同じところをタクシーで回る事になりました。（もちろんバス会社の負担で）
この会社のツアーに参加予定の方は注意して下さい。
