All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

On October 17th, I participated with my family of five. For the experience diving, only two people can be guided by one instructor, but we had three instructors guiding two, two, and one, respectively. They also took a family photo for us, which became a wonderful memory. The instructors were very kind, and despite our initial anxiety, all five of us enjoyed the diving. The waters around Kerama were very beautiful, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish than I had imagined and that we didn't encounter any sea turtles. After boarding, there was also an affordable parasailing option available, and unexpectedly, we were able to experience parasailing as well, making our day in Okinawa very meaningful.

10/17に家族5人で参加しました。体験ダイビングは1人のインストラクターに2名までしか引率できないのですが、3人のインストラクターで2名+2名+1名を引率してしただき、家族5人の集合写真を撮影していただき、とても良い思い出となりました。インストラクターの方はとても親切で、不安のあったダイビングも5人全員楽しめました。慶良間の海はとても綺麗でしたが、想像していたよりはお魚の数が少なかったこと、ウミガメには出会えなかったことが少し残念でした。乗船後に格安でのパラセーリングのオプションも用意されており、思いがけずのパラセーリング体験もでき、沖縄での1日をとても有意義に過ごすことができました。

Originally, we had planned to do SUP at Kabira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to high waves, we quickly changed to SUP in the mangroves and landing on the Phantom Island for snorkeling.
As a result, it turned out to be a very satisfying tour!
The staff were very kind and shared a lot of detailed information about the island, making me want to visit the outer islands next time.
Phantom Island was truly beautiful and moving!
I was really happy about the free photo service.
They also suggested poses, which helped avoid having the same types of photos.
I was surprised to receive nearly 200 photos.
Kubo, our guide, was only 22 years old and was the captain; it was fun to see starfish and sea turtles while snorkeling.
Thank you very much!

元々川平湾のSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングの予定でしたが、波が高いということで急遽マングローブでのSUPと幻の島上陸＆シュノーケリングに変更となりました。
結果的に、とても満足いくツアーになりました！
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で島のことを詳しく色々と教えてくださって、次は離島にも行ってみたいと思いました。
幻の島は本当に綺麗で感動しました！
写真撮影の無料サービスがあるの、本当に嬉しいです。
ポーズの提案もしてもらえて、同じような写真ばかりにならないのも良かったです。
しかも200枚近く送ってもらえてびっくりしました。
案内してくださった久保さんが22歳の若さで船長をされており、シュノーケリングでヒトデやウミガメを見つけてくれたのも楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I was looking for a tour to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island since I couldn't drive. There was a pick-up service from the hotel in Onna Village, and the tour was very fulfilling and great! Even without a car, I was able to visit various places on a day trip.

車が運転できなかったので、美ら海水族館と古宇利島に行けるツアーを探していました。宿泊していた恩納村のホテルまで送迎があり、内容も充実していてとても良かったです！！車がなくても日帰り観光で色々な場所に行けました。

I was amazed by the stunning views of Kabira Bay. The bus guide's explanation of Ishigaki Island was helpful for sightseeing. The lunch was also delicious.

川平湾の絶景には驚きました。バスガイドさんの石垣島の説明は観光の参考になりました。ランチも美味しかったです。

This price is just too surprising! Everything is so good, I highly recommend it! Dinner was also incredibly delicious!

これでこの値段はおどろきすぎます！
全部よすぎてめちゃくちゃおすすめです！
夜ご飯も美味しすぎました！

I was able to efficiently visit various places and had a great time!

I also enjoyed the long-awaited Churaumi Aquarium, which was wonderful!

Since there isn't much time for American Village, I think it might be better to include other spots that can be enjoyed in a short time instead of forcing it into the plan.

I also had a meal where I could see Ryukyu dance, and both the food and drinks were delicious, making for an enjoyable viewing experience.

It was a fantastic value plan! Thank you very much!

効率よく色々まわっていただけて、とても楽しめました！

念願の美ら海水族館も楽しめて、良かったです！

アメリカンビレッジが、かなり時間がないので、無理にプランに入れずに短時間でも楽しめる他スポットを入れても良いかと思いました。

琉球舞踊のみれる食事もつけていただきましたが、食事もお酒も美味しくて、楽しく鑑賞できました。

コスパの素晴らしいプランでした！
ありがとうございました！

You can easily take a tour around Kururi. The glass boat, which is available for an additional fee, was a bit cheaper at 900 yen. You can also get off at the airport, so it seems like a good option to use on the last day of your trip. The guide shared not only information about tourist spots but also various interesting things about Ishigaki Island, allowing us to learn a lot.

手軽にくるり周遊できます。別料金のグラスボートは少しお安くなって900円でした。空港で下車することもできるので、旅行の最終日に利用するのも良さそう。ガイドさんは観光地だけでなく石垣島のあんなことやこんなことをお話してくださったので、色々なことを知ることができました。

We were blessed with good weather, and the veteran guide's stories, including the changes in Okinawa, were very well done. The sandwiches were delicious as well. It was a very fulfilling day of sightseeing. Thank you very much.

天候に恵まれ、ベテランガイドさんのお話が（沖縄の移り変わり等も入れて....)とてもお上手でした。
サンドウィッチも美味しく頂きました♪。
とても充実した1日観光でした。
有難う御座いました。

The sea was very beautiful! I enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. The beach staff told me where to find sea turtles, and I was able to see them too.

海がとてもキレイでした！カヤックやシュノーケリングして楽しみました。ビーチのスタッフにウミガメがいるところを教えてもらい、ウミガメも見ることができました。

It was rainy, but the underwater scenery was beautiful and I had a great time! The service was very polite, and I was satisfied because I even got to see a turtle!

雨だったけど、水中はきれいで、楽しかったです！
対応もすごく丁寧で、亀さんにも会えたので満足です！

Due to the weather, the snorkeling and SUP activity was changed to mangrove SUP, but I found the calm mangroves to be very soothing! The staff member's talk about Ishigaki Island was very easy to understand and sparked my interest in nature. They also shared various recommendations for shops and famous stargazing spots on Ishigaki Island, making my trip very enjoyable! If you're going to make a reservation, do it here!

天候によりシュノーケリング&SUPからマングローブSUPに変更になりましたが、穏やかなマングローブでのSUPに心癒されました！
スタッフのお兄さんの石垣島トークがとても分かりやすく自然について関心が持てます。
また、おすすめのお店や星空の名所など石垣島について色々教えてくださりとても楽しく旅行できました！
予約するならここで！

For a beginner like me in Ishigaki Island, not only did I receive basic information, but the guide's explanations allowed me to touch upon the culture and history, making it a very enjoyable trip!

Indeed, it was a bit rushed, but I felt sufficiently satisfied. (This tour made me want to learn more about Ishigaki.)

The person who took care of us was a foreign-looking woman with a darker complexion, reminiscent of a younger Rosanna. She was very kind to me, even though I was a solo participant suffering from a hangover from drinking too much awamori the night before, which made me very happy!

If you make a reservation through this site, you can also receive discounts and coupons from the Go To Travel campaign, so I highly recommend it! (I'm glad I pushed through my hangover to go! Haha)

石垣島初心者の私にとっては。
基本情報を教えてもらえるだけでなく、
ガイドさんの説明によって
文化や歴史に触れられて、とても楽しい旅になりました！

確かに駆け足ではありますが、
充分な満足感はあります。
（このツアーを元に、石垣の事をもっと知りたくなりました）

今回お世話になったのは、
若い時のロザンナ？似の
外国風の色の黒めのお姉さんでしたが、
前日泡盛を飲みすぎて二日酔いの一人参加の私にもとても親切にしてくれ、
大変嬉しかったです！

こちらのサイトで予約すると

オススメです！
（二日酔いを押して行ってよかったです！笑）

The Churaumi Aquarium was not crowded, but including the show and lunch, it felt a bit rushed in just two and a half hours, so I wished I had a little more time.

The guide's explanations were very clear, and they occasionally incorporated the feelings of the Okinawan people, which made me fall in love with Okinawa's unique culture.

I compared several companies for the tour to Churaumi and chose this one because you can board in Naha and get off at Chatan, which is also where my next accommodation is. The arrival time in Chatan was early, allowing me to enjoy my hotel life longer after the sightseeing bus tour.

美ら海水族館は空いていましたが、ショーと昼食を含めて2時間半は慌しかったので　もう少し時間が欲しかったです。

ガイドさんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、ときおり沖縄県民の思いを織り交ぜながら解説してくれて独特の文化を歩む沖縄が大好きになりました。

美ら海へ行くツアーを何社か見比べてこちらに決めたのは　那覇から乗り、次の宿泊地の北谷で降りられる事。その中でも北谷の到着時間が早い事です。こちらの観光バスのあともホテルライフを長く楽しめました。

A leisurely paddle on the surface of the water while enjoying the view of Kabira Bay offers an elegant experience that you can't find in everyday life. Although I struggled a bit against the headwind while stand-up paddleboarding, the beautiful scenery made the fatigue disappear!

川平湾を見ながらゆっくりの水面散歩は、日常生活では味わえない優雅な時間を過ごせます。ちょっぴり向かい風に苦戦しながらのSUPでしたが、ステキな景色をゆっくり見ながらだったので疲れも吹っ飛びます！

It was out of season, and the temperature reached 30°C.
There were many sea turtles and fish.
There were few people on the beach, which was nice!
I hope many people can come next year.

季節外れで、気温30℃もあり
海ガメや魚も沢山いました。
ビーチに人も少なく良かった‼️
来年は、沢山の人が来れますように。

I participated with some anxiety, but the instant instructors and staff were very pleasant, which put me at ease. The sea was also very beautiful, and I was impressed. It was fun to experience parasailing at a low cost on the way back.

Since I am older, I thought it would be nice to have a few more images available for an additional fee.

If I have the opportunity to go again, I would definitely like to be taken care of by you. Thank you very much.

不安の中参加しましたが、インスタントラクターはじめスタッフの方々が感じが良く、安心しました。
海もとても綺麗で感動しました、戻り際にパラセーリングも格安で体験出来て楽しかったです。
私は高年齢なので、別途費用でも画像がもう少しあると良いなって思いました。

また行く機会があれば是非お世話になりたいです、よろしくお願いします、ありございました。

Unfortunately, the afternoon trip I participated in could not go to Chibishi due to the typhoon, so we went snorkeling at a spot called Sunabe in Chatan. Although it was a relatively small area for snorkeling, I had a great time seeing two types of clownfish, butterflyfish, and various tropical fish. I also enjoyed reliving my childhood by having fun on the slide and diving (it was scarier than I expected and full of thrills, haha).

The next day, I went on a full-day tour with the same Berry's tour company, which included snorkeling at three locations in the Kerama Islands. It was truly wonderful and deserves more than five stars. The staff's attentiveness was excellent both days, and the boat was large and clean, so I highly recommend it. A nice touch was that there were bath towels prepared after using the boat's shower, which was a big plus.

参加した午後便は、台風の影響で残念ながらチービシには行けず、北谷町にある砂辺と言うポイントでスノーケリングしました。
比較的狭いエリアでのスノーケリングとなりましたが、2種類のクマノミやツノダシ、イラブチャーをはじめとしたトロピカルな熱帯魚達に会えて楽しかったです。
また童心にかえってスライダーや飛込みも楽しめました（思ったより怖くてスリル満点でした・笑）

翌日同じベリーさんのツアーで行った１日ツアー（慶良間諸島三ヶ所でスノーケリング）が５つ星では足りないくらい本当に素晴らしかったのですが、２日共スタッフさんの気遣いもよく、船も大きくて綺麗で、お薦め出来ます。
何気に船のシャワー浴びた後にバスタオルが準備されているのもポイント高かったです。

Due to the sudden typhoon, I was anxious about whether I could even go to Okinawa, and if I could, what the weather and waves would be like. Fortunately, the typhoon veered away, but there were still effects on the sea. The morning tour was canceled, and the afternoon tour was only confirmed at the last minute. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, but the water was murky and there weren't many fish, which was disappointing. If it was someone's first time going to Kerama, they might end up disliking it. I wish they had canceled the tour under these conditions. Also, since there was no slide, the tour title was misleading.

突然の台風発生で、沖縄自体に行けるのか、行けたとしてもお天気や波はどうなのか？という不安の中での来沖。台風はうまくそれたものの海への影響が泣。午前のツアーは中止、午後もぎりぎりで開催が決定。船は思ったほど揺れなかったけど、海の中はにごにごで魚影も薄く、うーん。初めて慶良間に行く人だったら慶良間が嫌いになっちゃいそう。この状態ならツアーを中止にしてほしかったなと思いました。滑り台なかったので、ツアータイトルに偽りありです。

I have been to the Churaumi Aquarium many times, but it was my first time at the Tropical Dream Center. It became a great memory. I will be back again! I was also relieved to see that the bus had thorough infection prevention measures in place.

美ら海水族館は何度も行きましたが、熱帯ドリームセンターはお初でした。いい思い出になりました。またお世話になります！
バスも感染予防策がしっかりされていて安心しました。

You can efficiently visit the attractions even without a car. It's perfect for sightseeing on the last day since you can get off at the airport. It had been on hold for a long time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it reopened in November.

車なしでも見所を効率よくまわれます。
空港で下車可能なので、最終日の観光にぴったりでした。
コロナ禍で長く休止されており、11月から再開したとのことでした。

I was drawn to the tour title "Guided by a Famous Guide!" and the reviews mentioned that it was fun to listen to the sanshin, so I signed up. However, the guide was just an ordinary one. It might be due to the impact of COVID-19, but I signed up for this tour specifically for the guide, so I would appreciate it if any changes were clearly noted.

Additionally, there were some unrealistic aspects in the itinerary. Even though the roads weren't congested, I was told to return quickly from the first drop-off point because there wasn't enough time, and lunch was only 40 minutes, making it a rushed tour.

On the positive side, the driver's bright smile was wonderful! After the tour, I happened to take the same bus line with the same driver, who was a lovely person!

ツアーのタイトルにあった『名物ガイドがご案内！』に惹かれて、口コミでも三線が聴けて楽しいといった内容だったので申し込んだのですが、普通のガイドさんでした。。
コロナの影響かもしれませんが、ガイドさん目当てでこのツアーに申し込んだので、変更点はちゃんと記載してほしいです。
その他、ちょっと行程表に無理があります。
道路が混雑していないのに、1つめの降車地から時間がないからすぐに戻るように言われたり、昼食が40分だったりと、バタバタなツアーです。
良かった点は、ドライバーさんの明るい笑顔！
ツアー後、たまたま乗車した路線バスも同じドライバーさんで、素敵な方でした！

My first diving experience over the age of 50 was incredibly fun. I had some anxiety, but the staff provided precise support, allowing me to enjoy a world I had never seen before. I want to do it again. Thank you!

50歳超えでの初ダイビング、すごい楽しかった。
不安もありましたがスタッフの皆さんが的確にサポートしてくれたので見たことない世界を堪能できました。またやりたい。
ありがとうございました！

The highly trained staff was great. The guide's knowledge and skills were also impressive. I would like to use this service again.

非常に訓練された運行スタッフで良かったです
ガイドさんの知識も技量も高かったです
また利用したいと思います

It was just Halloween, and American Village was bustling with both adults and children in costumes. Furthermore, the time of arrival coincided perfectly with sunset, which was very beautiful.
Although the time on Kouri Island was a bit short, I still thought it was a great tour overall.

ちょうどハロウィンでしたが、アメリカンビレッジは大人も子供も仮装した方が多く活気が溢れていました。さらに、到着した時刻がちょうどサンセットでとても美しかったです。
古宇利島の時間が少し短かったですが、それも含めた上でも良いツアーだと思いました。

It was my first time doing SUP, so I was anxious and nervous about whether I could do it well, but I gradually got used to it and was able to enjoy SUP! They kept informing me about the areas with waves, which helped me not fall off the board. The weather was great, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset, and I was very satisfied with the many wonderful photos taken. Thank you!

はじめてのsupでしたので、上手くできるか不安で緊張していたのですが、段々慣れてきて楽しくsupすることが出来ました！
波がある場所などを逐一教えてくれて、ボードから落下することもなく助かりました。天気も良くて綺麗なサンセットを見ることが出来たのと、素敵なお写真をたくさん撮っていただけて大満足でした、ありがとうございます。

I participated with the aquarium as my main goal. It seems that this popular tour usually requires a full house, but there were only 17 participants, so I secured four seats for myself. The guide even entertained us with songs and played the sanshin without me asking, which greatly increased my satisfaction. American Village has many shops and restaurants, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of America. There are so many places to explore that one day isn't enough, so I would like to try again.

水族館を目あてに参加しました。
普段は満席必須の人気ツアーのようですが17名だったのでひとりで4席確保。
頼んでもいないのにガイドさんが歌や三線まで披露していただき満足度上々でした。
アメリカンビレッジは雑貨屋や飲食店が多く、アメリカを彷彿とさせる佇まいです。
一日では回りきれない数なのでまたチャレンジしたいです。

万座毛の美しい景色、海洋公園でのイルカショー、恋の島の美しい景色、すべてがとても印象的でした。本当に価値のある旅行です。スタッフはとても親切で、この旅行はとても楽しかったです。

The beautiful view of Manzamo, the dolphin show in the ocean park, the beautiful view of the love island, all are so impressive. This is a really value trip. The stuffs were very nice, very enjoyable, this trip.

This time, I think it was much more economical than driving around with a rental car since it was eligible for Goto. The Churaumi Aquarium was a bit hectic, but I was glad to see the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium show without any issues. I was very satisfied with how efficiently we were able to visit the tourist spots. The guide and the driver were also polite, and the service was impeccable.

今回はGoto対象だったのでレンタカーで回るよりもずっとお得だったと思います。美ら海水族館は少しバタバタでしたが、おきちゃんショーも無事見れて良かったです。効率よく観光地を回れて大満足でした。
ガイドさん、ドライバーさんも丁寧でサービスも申し分なしです。

It was a satisfying tour!
First, we changed into wetsuits and received an explanation on how to use the snorkels.
The guide explained everything in simple terms that even my 7-year-old daughter could understand.
On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and the boat rocked quite a bit, but we had been advised to take motion sickness medication the day before, so we were able to enjoy the tour without feeling sick.
Once we entered the water, the guide swam with a large boogie board that had plenty of grips, allowing even those who were anxious about swimming to hold on and reach the Blue Cave.
Although the surface of the sea was rough, the underwater world was calm and very beautiful, with many fish coming close enough to touch.
My daughter was thrilled and kept saying it was her first time experiencing something like this!
Inside the Blue Cave, the waves were gentle, and the light made the blue of the sea stand out, creating a very magical atmosphere.
Our guide, Kazuya, dove deep into the sea to take photos from below, creating wonderful memories for us.

満足できたツアーでした！
最初にウェットスーツに着替え、シュノーケルの使い方の説明を受けます。
7歳の娘も分かるように簡単な言葉で説明頂けました。
当日は海が荒れていて、船がかなり揺れましたが、前日に酔い止めを服用した方がいいというアドバイスを頂いており、酔うことなくツアーを楽しむことができました。
海に入ると、ガイドさんが掴むところがたくさんついた大きなビート板を持って泳いでくれるので、泳ぎに不安がある人でも捕まっているだけで青の洞窟まで行くことができます。
海面は荒れているのに、海の中はゆったりとしえいてとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん寄ってきて手で何匹も触ることができました。
娘は大興奮で、こんなの初めて！と何回も言って感動していました。
青の洞窟内は、波もなく穏やかで、光の加減で海の青さが際立ち、とても幻想的な雰囲気でした。
ガイドのカズヤさんが、海の深いところまで潜って下から撮影して頂いたり、とても素敵な思い出が出来ました。

Churaumi Aquarium and the pineapple garden can still be enjoyed while paying attention to social distancing, and not much has changed from before. Manzamo has transformed the aisles of souvenir shops. The tourist facilities and observation deck are open. We were blessed with good weather and were very satisfied.

美ら海水族館、パイナップル園はソーシャルディスタンスに注意しながら観光するも以前とあまり変わらず。万座毛は　土産物店の通路が大変身。観光施設と展望台がオープン。天候にも恵まれ大満足。
