All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

At the Blue Cave, the tide wasn't too high, so we were able to take a lot of photos both inside and outside the cave! Also, the guide's explanations were thorough, which made the experience enjoyable!

青の洞窟では、潮の高さがあまり高くなかったので、洞窟内、外両方でたくさん写真を撮っていただきました！
また、ガイドさんの説明も丁寧で楽しむことができました！

This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and it was my first time snorkeling. The guide was very reliable, which made me feel at ease, and I had a great time on the tour! Additionally, I learned a lot about various fish, making it a very satisfying experience! The coral was beautiful, and I got to see many different fish, which was amazing! 😁

今回は青の洞窟のシュノーケルツアー参加さして頂いたんですけど、初めてのシュノーケルで、ガイドさんがとても頼れる人で安心感があり楽しくツアーできました！
それにいろんな魚の知識を教えてもらい大満足のツアーになりました！
珊瑚もとても綺麗でいろんな魚もみれて最高でした😁

I took motion sickness medication before participating, but the sea was completely calm, so there were no issues at all. I was surprised that there were more foreign participants than locals.

Since people arrive at different times before departure, there was some waiting time, and there were few shaded seats. The gathering area was also designated, making the sunlight quite harsh.

Once we set sail, the breeze felt nice, and we reached the first snorkeling spot quickly, which was great. However, the distance to the first spot seems to vary by day, so we were lucky it was close.

We snorkeled three times for about 30 minutes each, and we saw plenty of coral, lots of fish, and even turtles. At one point, there was something floating on the surface (plankton?), which wasn't dirt, but it looked a bit gross.

At the end, we changed from our wetsuits to our own clothes inside the boat. Since we finished a little earlier than the other teams, there was no crowd for changing, which made it easier. The return trip was long, so it might not be crowded towards the end. Changing on the boat made the return smooth.

However, there were no shampoo facilities, so instead of sightseeing on Kokusai Street right away, I felt like going back to the hotel to take a shower and maybe take a short nap.

酔い止め飲んで参加したけど、ベタ凪で全く問題なかった。
外国人の参加のほうが多く驚いた。
出港までは他の人がバラバラ到着するので、待ち時間があって、日陰の席も少ないし、集まるところも指定されるので、日差しが辛かった。

出港したら風も気持ちいいし、最初のポイントまでもすぐだったので、とても良かった。
ただ最初のポイントまでの距離はその日によって違うようなので、近くてラッキー。

30分ずつくらい3回シュノーケリングして、サンゴもたくさんの魚も亀も観れた。
途中水面に何が（プランクトン？）汚れじゃないらしけど、浮かんでるあたりはちょっと気持ち悪かった。
最後は船の中でウェットスーツから自分の服に着替えるが、ほかのチームより少しだけ早く終えると、着替えが混んでなくて楽だった。帰りの時間は長いので、最後の方でも混んでないかも。船のなかで着替えることで、帰りもスムーズ。
ただし、シャンプーとかあるわけではないので、そのまま国際通りへ観光というよりは、ホテルに戻ってシャワーを浴び直して、ちょっと昼寝したくなる。

It was fun to see fish and corals at multiple points! Since the person driving the boat provided explanations, I was able to understand better.

複数のポイントで魚やサンゴが観れて楽しかったです♪
船を運転する人が解説しながらなので、より理解できました

I'm glad I was able to summarize the northern part of Okinawa. Instead of going to the Churaumi Aquarium, I used that time to visit the Funugi Namiki. I had to wait in line at the popular Funugi shop, but it was delicious and offered great value. For dinner, they seated me right away as soon as I mentioned my name. I enjoyed a full day of activities.

沖縄北部をまとめていけて良かったです。美ら海水族館は、行かずにその時間を利用してフヌギ並木に行きました。人気のフヌギ屋は並びましたが、コスパ良く美味しかったです。夜のディナーは、名前を伝えたらすぐに席に通してくれました。丸一日コース楽しめました。

I went in mid-June! It was incredibly hot!!! There is no air conditioning inside the boat, so I think drinking water and towels are essential! If you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication as well. The 30-minute course was great, and even on a cloudy day, the views were beautiful! My one-year-old daughter was very curious about all the fish and sea creatures! I want to go again.

6月半ばに行かせてもらいました！
とにかく暑い！！！
ボート内は冷房がないので、飲料水とタオルは必須かと思います！
船に弱い方は酔い止めもあったほうが良いかもしれません。
30分のコースですが、曇りの日でも綺麗に見えて最高でした！1歳の娘もたくさんのお魚や海の生き物に興味津々でした！また行きたいです。

It was my first experience snorkeling, and the staff were friendly. I was blessed with the best conditions (calm, warm, and clear sea), and it was absolutely amazing!

シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、スタッフも親切で、最高のコンディション（穏やかで、暖かで、透き通った海)にも恵まれ、サイコーによかったです！

Unlike other tour companies, I booked here because they offered free pick-up, wetsuits, photo shooting, and towels. When I looked at the reviews, I noticed there were foreign guests, which made me a bit worried about my belongings, but on the day I participated, the Japanese and foreign guests were on separate boats. Additionally, they asked at the very first reception if I wanted to store my valuables, which was reassuring. It was a snorkeling tour with a small group plus a guide, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. They also provided explanations about the corals and fish, making it a fulfilling tour. I definitely want to use this tour again for snorkeling.

他のツアー会社と違い、無料で送迎、ウエットスーツ、写真撮影、タオルが付いていたのでこちらで予約しました。口コミを見ると外国の方もいるようだったので、荷物等心配かなと思いましたが、私が参加した日は日本人と外国の方は別の船でした。また、貴重品を預かるか一番最初の受付で聞いて下さり安心でした。少人数のグループ➕ガイドさんでのシュノーケルでしたが、海はとても綺麗でしたし、サンゴや魚の説明などもしてくれて充実のツアーでした。ぜひまたこのツアーを利用してシュノーケルをしたいです。

The snorkeling was of course fun, and the sea was beautiful. Sakura, who was in charge, not only explained about the fish and the blue cave but also shared various recommendations for restaurants, making the travel time enjoyable as well!

シュノーケルはもちろん楽しかったし、海も綺麗でした。担当してくださったさくらさんは魚や青の洞窟の説明だけでなく、おすすめのご飯屋さんなど色々な話をしてくださり、移動時間も楽しく過ごせたのがよかったです！

I have visited Okinawa many times, but I had never been to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I was really looking forward to it this time. I also wanted to visit Kouri Island and Manzamo again after a long time, so it was helpful to be able to tour efficiently. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but it was easy since we were on a bus. The hotel provided shuttle service, so I had plenty of time, which was nice.

沖縄は何度も訪れているのに　美ら海水族館はまだなかったので　今回とても楽しみにしていました。古宇利島と万座毛も久しぶりに行ってみたかったので　効率的に周れるのは助かります。あいにくのお天気でしたが　そういう時でもバスなので楽々。　宿泊ホテルの送迎だったので　時間もゆとりがあって良かったです。

It was very convenient to go to the airport, the beach, and the island terminal. If you go a bit farther, you can quickly get your money's worth. When going to distant places, it's necessary to check the schedule. Sometimes there's a bus every hour, and other times the next one is two hours later... However, if you plan properly, you can travel far by bus, so I would like to use it again!

空港へ行ったり、ビーチに行ったり、離島ターミナルに行ったり、とても便利でした。少し遠くへ行く方はすぐ元が取れます。離れた場所に行く際は、時間の確認が必要です。1時間に一本だったり、その次が2時間後だったり…ただしっかり計画をされていれば、バスで遠くまで行けるので、また利用したいと思います！

There are quite a few ferries, so I think the connections from the airport to the island terminal and from the island terminal to each island ferry are perfect! Even if you have some free time, there are plenty of shops around the bus terminal, so you can easily pass the time!

それなりに本数があるので、空港→離島ターミナル、離島ターミナル→各離島フェリーへの接続もバッチリだと思います！万が一、時間が空いてもバスターミナルの周辺にお店がたくさんあるので、時間はいくらでも潰せます！

I love Okinawa and travel there several times a year, but this time I visited the Churaumi Aquarium for the first time in 30 years. The main attraction is, of course, the large tank of the Kuroshio Sea with the whale sharks. Standing in front of the tank, I felt as if I were underwater myself, like I had become part of the ocean. Even though it had been 30 years, I felt nostalgic, as I think I had the same thoughts back then. Compared to that time, there are now many more tourist attractions, but my belief that Okinawa means Churaumi Aquarium has not changed. It truly is a wonderful place.

沖縄が好きで年に何回か旅行していますが
今回は30年ぶりに美ら海水族館へ訪れました
やはりメインはジンベイザメのいる
黒潮の海の大水槽🐠水槽の前に立つと、まるで自分が海の中にいるような錯覚✨海の仲間になった気分です。30年ぶりだけど当時も同じ事を思っていた気がして懐かしさにもひたりました。当時に比べたら今では観光名所は沢山増えましたが沖縄といえば美ら海水族館☝️という私の思いは変わりませんでした。本当に良い場所です。

It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but the weather was great and the three locations offered completely different views, which was nice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any sea turtles this time. There were many participants, but the staff provided support while paying attention to safety.

久々のシュノーケリングでしたが、天気もよく3箇所全く違う景色で良かったです
今回はウミガメを見ることができなかったので残念です
参加者が多かったですがスタッフも安全に注意を払いながらサポートしてくれました

You need to show your free pass when getting on and off, but it's a hassle to take it out of your wallet every time, so I thought about what to do. As a result, I bought an affordable hard case from a 100 yen shop and started using it. It was convenient. I could make it a bit smaller, but I couldn't find a size that fits well, so I ended up with this one. This free pass is definitely convenient for going out into the city.

乗り降りの際にフリーパスを見せないといけないが、財布から毎度出し入れするのは面倒で、どうすればいいか考えました。その結果、100円ショップで手頃なハードケースを買ってきて使いました。便利でした。もう少し小さくしてもいいのですが、なかなか合うサイズに出会えず、これになりました。
街中へ出かけるにはやはりこのフリーパスは便利です。

I really appreciated that we could go to the Churaumi Aquarium on a one-day bus tour without needing a rental car!

The guide had a wealth of knowledge, and it was enjoyable to listen to them.

1日のバスツアーで、レンタカー無しで美ら海水族館までいけるのがとても良かったです！

ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、聞いていて楽しかったです。

The weather was nice, and the sea was calm, which felt great. The guide constantly checked on our condition, which made us feel very safe. It was great that they led us even though I couldn't swim. I was able to spend time pleasantly with the other participants in the tour, and it truly became a wonderful experience. Thank you very much!

天気も良く海も穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが始終、私達の状態を見てくれて、とても安心出来ました。泳げなくてもずっと引率してくれてよかったです。
ツアーの参加した他の方々とも雰囲気よく時間過ごせて、本当に素敵な体験になりました。ありがとうございました！

I was happy to see sea turtles in their natural habitat in the ocean♥️ The turtles were sleeping, but next time I want to see them swimming🫶

海亀は自然な生き物のため海で見ることができて幸せでした♥️
亀さんは眠っていましたが、次回は泳いでいる亀さんに会いたいです🫶

The tour guide was incredibly kind and very attentive. I would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa, especially families with children! ☺️💖

I felt that the time spent at Nago Pineapple Park was a bit insufficient. It might not be recommended for those who want to take their time, especially if you want to ride the bus at Nago Pineapple Park, as there isn't much time for that here. 😣💦

However, everything else was very enjoyable, so I am very satisfied!

ツアーガイドの方はすごく優しい方で対応も丁寧でした。沖縄に来て観光を楽しめたい方に進めたい!!特に子供連れの家族の皆さんに☺️💖
ナゴパイナップルパークでの時間は少し物足り足りないと感じました。ゆっくりみたい人には進めないかも、特にナゴパイナップルパークのバス(？)に乗りたい方はこちらだと時間が少ないのでオススメしません😣💦
でもその他はとても楽しめたので大満足です!!

We were able to board before our reserved time because we arrived early. I was surprised by the large coral and was very satisfied to see so many cute turtles! 🫢

早目に到着したため予約時間前に乗船させていただけました
大きな花珊瑚にびっくり🫢かわいい亀にもたくさん会えて満足でした

Snorkeling was my first experience, but I felt safe because we acted as a group. There were many colorful fish among the coral, and I could swim while being soothed by the scenery. I was also able to spot a clownfish! ♪

シュノーケリングは初めての体験でしたが、グループでまとまって行動するので安心でした。珊瑚には色とりどりの魚がたくさんいて癒されながら泳げます。カクレクマノミも発見できました♪

During our cruise stop in Naha, we rented a large taxi for 9 people for 8 hours from 09:00 to 17:00, with 7 passengers. Since each of the 7 had different places they wanted to go, we followed the course outlined below. We started from the port and went to American Village (where 4 people got off) ⇒ picked up 3 people and headed to the Churaumi Aquarium (3 hours there is sufficient) ⇒ returned to American Village where the aquarium group of 3 spent 1 hour ⇒ the American Village group of 4 went to a nearby market to look for things they wanted ⇒ during this time, the taxi returned to American Village to pick up the 3 people ⇒ came back to the market to pick up the remaining people ⇒ and then returned to the port. This route allowed us to fully utilize the 8 hours, visiting multiple locations and fulfilling various wishes. By frequently communicating via LINE among the 7 of us, we could keep track of our current locations, estimated arrival times, and next actions, making it very efficient.

クルーズの那覇停泊中に9人乗り大型タクシーを7人で09：00ｰ17：00まで8時間貸し切り。7人中行きたいところが違うので下記コースを辿りました。港からアメリカンビレッジ（ここで4人降りる）⇒3人を乗せて美ら海水族館へ（現地3時間で十分）⇒アメリカンビレッジに戻り水族館組3人はココで1時間過ごす⇒アメリカンビレッジ組4人は近くの市場へ買いたいものを探しに⇒この間タクシーはアメリカンビレッジに戻って3人をピックアップ⇒市場に戻って来て残りの人をピックアップ⇒港に戻る。このようなコース取りで8時間フルに複数の場所、複数の希望を叶えました。7人で頻繁にライン通信することで、現在居場所、到着予定時刻、次の行動など、つぶさに連絡が取れるので、非常に効率的です。　

It was disappointing that the glass boat at Kabira Bay, which I was looking forward to the most, was suspended due to the approaching typhoon. However, despite the busy weather changing from cloudy to rainy to sunny, the guide's explanations were clear, and I was able to learn a bit about Ishigaki Island and thoroughly enjoy my time there.

I also enjoyed a delicious hamburger lunch. Although I need a cane and couldn't have managed the limestone cave on my own, I was able to go thanks to the support I received.

台風接近中で一番の楽しみの川平湾のグラスボートが運休で残念でしたが、お天気は曇り→雨→晴れと忙しいお空の中、ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、少し石垣島のことを知れて充分に楽しめました。
昼食のハンバーグランチも美味しくいただきました。
杖が必要な私ですが、ひとりでは鍾乳洞は無理でしたが、サポートがあったのでなんとか鍾乳洞に行くことができました。

Since it was my first time in the southern part of Okinawa, I was able to efficiently visit Peace Memorial Park, Sefa Utaki, and Okinawa World. The driver was pleasant, but I think it would have been even better if there had been a bit more detailed guidance about each location.

沖縄南部は初めてだったので、平和記念公園、斎場御嶽、沖縄ワールドを効率よく回ってもらいました。
感じの良いドライバーさんでしたが、もう少し詳しい各地の案内が有れば尚良かったかなと思います。

I had a reservation for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to the typhoon, it was changed to canoeing in the mangrove river. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. It started pouring rain along the way, but that was fun in its own way.

青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予約していましたが台風の影響でマングローブの川でカヌーに変更になりました。ガイドさんはいろいろ説明してくれて親切でした。途中で土砂降りになりましたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。

I enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave beach and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the mangrove river. The guides were very kind and taught us well. I was able to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was my first experience with SUP, but I managed to stand up and paddle. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

青の洞窟の海岸でシュノーケルとマングローブの川でSUPを楽しみました。ガイドの方達はとても親切に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルではキレイな魚を見れました。
SUPは初体験でしたが、なんとか立って漕ぐことができました。良い経験をさせていただいて、ありがとうございました。

This time, I purchased the "Michikusa Free Pass," which allows unlimited rides on all Toei Bus routes. I was able to buy it just before the 5-day pass sales ended, but it seems that only the 3-day pass will be available in the future. Therefore, if you plan to stay longer, you'll need to carefully plan the days you want to use the bus and the places you want to visit.

The exchange process was very smooth. After arriving at Ishigaki Airport, I was able to get assistance right away on the bus I boarded from the airport. There was no need to go to the ticket counter, and I could start using it immediately after arriving, which was very convenient.

I think this pass is very practical for those who do not rent a car or want to travel around the island by bus. It reduces the hassle of checking fares and preparing coins each time, making it easier to create a flexible itinerary.

今回は、東バス全路線が乗り放題になる「みちくさフリーパス」を購入しました。ちょうど5日間パスの販売終了前に購入できましたが、今後は3日間パスのみになるようなので、長めの滞在の場合は、バスを利用する日程や行きたい場所をより慎重に計画する必要があると感じました。

引き換えはとてもスムーズで、石垣空港に到着後、空港から乗った路線バスの車内ですぐに対応してもらえました。わざわざ窓口に行く必要がなく、到着直後でも使い始められるので、とても便利でした。

レンタカーを利用しない方や、島内をバスで移動したい方には、とても実用的なパスだと思います。毎回運賃を確認したり小銭を用意したりする手間も減り、旅程を柔軟に組みやすくなりました。

Just by saying "Beltora free pass," the driver understands right away, which is really helpful! You can just show it to get on and off, so it's really convenient!

ベルトラのフリーパスお願いしますと伝えるだけで、運転手さんもすぐわかってくれるのでありがたいです！
見せるだけで乗り降りできるので、本当に楽です！

This plan includes transportation, boat transfers, and rental of wear, equipment, and tanks all in one.

At the Miejyo Port waiting room, there are coin lockers available, but the number is limited. After arriving, you will check in (fill out a checklist and confirm your license) and immediately put on your wetsuit.

Participants will experience various plans together, with around 40 people, including many foreign tourists (from Europe, America, and East Asia). After about an hour, we arrived at the Kerama Islands, and diving began right away.

Since it had been a while since my last dive, I was nervous and struggled to breathe properly, but thanks to the staff's precise instructions (getting used to breathing with my face in the water and switching to an introductory diving course), I was eventually able to calm down. When I accidentally floated to the surface due to a mistake in handling my equipment, they clearly communicated that "that operation is not allowed" (I appreciate their focus on safety, and they were friendly during breaks).

On the second dive, I was able to dive calmly and enjoy the sensation of floating in the light blue waters under slightly cloudy weather, swimming alongside subtropical corals, fish, and sea turtles. I never tire of watching the fish and turtles. I would love to participate on a sunny day as well.

During the activity, there were several staff members monitoring safety on the surface and at least one on the second deck of the boat. They ensured safety checks regarding the number of people before and after boat transfers, and the supervision and guidance from the younger staff contributed to a high level of safety awareness, making me feel that this diving shop is very reliable.

The overall flow involved a second dive at a different location after the first, followed by a lunch break (the staff mentioned they usually serve curry), and then a third activity at another location. Most participants opted for the three-dive course.

I originally signed up for the two-dive course, so while others were doing their third dive, I took the opportunity to use the warm shower (just to rinse off) and change clothes and tidy up.

After returning to Miejyo Port in Naha, there was no logbook to fill out, and we simply disbanded. Additionally, there are several hotels nearby where you can enjoy day-use baths.

送迎・船の移動・ウェア&器材&タンクレンタル全て込みのプランです。

三重城港待合室にはコインロッカーありますが、数は少ないです。到着後、受付（チェックシート記入、ライセンス確認）後、その場ですぐウェットスーツを着用します。

参加者は様々な体験プラン一緒に、外国人観光客（欧米&東アジア系）多めで約40名ほど。1時間弱で慶良間諸島に到着後、すぐにダイビングが始まりました。

私は久々のダイビングのため、緊張で呼吸が上手くできなくなりましたが、スタッフさんの的確な指示（水に顔をつけて呼吸に慣れる、体験ダイビングコースへの変更）で、やがて落ち着くことができました。私の機材操作ミスで身体が海面まで浮き上がった時は、「その操作はしてはダメ」な旨、明確に伝えられました（安全重視の姿勢に感謝します、休憩中はフレンドリーな対応でした）。

2回目は落ち着いてファンダイビングでき、薄曇りの天気の中、淡い青色の海中で浮遊感を楽しみつつ、亜熱帯の珊瑚やお魚、そしてウミガメと一緒に泳ぎました。魚やウミガメの様子は見飽きません。晴天の日にもぜひ参加したいです。

アクティビティ中は、海面に数名&船上2階に少なくとも1名のスタッフさんが安全監視していました。船の移動前後の人数&安全確認、若手スタッフさんの監督指導など、アクティビティ以外の部分も含め、安全意識が高く、非常に信頼できるダイビングショップだと感じました。

全体の流れは1回目の後、場所を変えて2回目、昼食休憩（スタッフさん曰く、いつもカレー）を経て、場所を変えて3回目のアクティビティとなります。ほとんどの方が3回コースでした。

私は元々2回コースだったので、他の方が3回目をしていて空いているうちに、温水シャワー（体の表面を流す程度）や着替え、片付けをしました。

那覇の三重城港に戻り、ログ付けはなく、そのまま解散になります。なお、三重城近隣には、日帰り入浴可能なホテルが複数あります。

I got off at the Chojin no Haka bus stop, which I had been curious about for a while. Nearby, there is the Kannonzaki Lighthouse, and the sea looked beautiful. I was lucky to see the blue sky after dodging the typhoon.

前々から気になっていた唐人の墓バス停で下車してみました。近くには観音崎灯台もあり海が綺麗に見えました。
台風をすり抜けて青空が見えてラッキーでした。
