All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

The white sandy beach at Kabira Bay is amazing. The glass-bottom boat and the giant clams were enchanting. I saw so many of them. The guide's singing was also great. It's a compact and well-organized tour.

川平湾の白い砂浜最高。グラスボート、シャコガイが幻想的です。たくさん見れました。ガイドさんの歌も良かった。コンパクトにまとまってるツアー。

Seasir and veltra made my diving adventure the absolute perfect experience! Got to see some sea turtles and beautiful fish and coral up close and personal!! Such a perfect day, made amazing by the Seasir staff!

Had a great time out on the Seasir Lucky!
The crew were super friendly and accommodating.
Good snorkelling in beautiful waters.

Don't forget to take your seasickness medication. The boat ride out was a bit choppy and I was glad to have it.

Thanks for the good time, guys!

The bus was spacious, and I could stretch my legs, which was great. The lunch was delicious too. At the roadside station Itoman, there were many seafood dishes available, and I was very satisfied to be able to eat them on the spot. The bus guide provided thorough explanations, and I think it was the best tour.

バスが広くて、足も伸ばせて最高でした。
昼食も美味しかったです。道の駅いとまんでは、たくさん海鮮料理なども売っておりその場で食べれたので大満足でした。バスガイドさんもしっかり説明してくださり、１番良いツアーだと思いました。

It's understandable that various facilities are closed due to COVID-19 measures, but the issue was the bus guide. The incomprehensible Japanese they spoke was extremely grating and exhausting. If they want to work as a guide, I hope they study Japanese properly. The organization from start to finish was poor, and I was really tired.

コロナ対策の為色々な施設が閉まってるのは仕方ない事ですが、問題はバスガイドさんです。意味不明な日本語を永遠に話すので物凄く耳障りかつしんどかったです。ガイドを仕事にするなら日本語をしっかり勉強して欲しいです。最初から最後まで段取りも悪く本当に疲れました。

This time, I went snorkeling on a trip to Okinawa with my friends. We quickly bonded with our guide, Matsucchan, as it was just the four of us. Thanks to the guide explaining the fish before we dove in, we were able to enjoy watching the fish while snorkeling. Although the weather wasn't very good this time, we were able to see whales on the boat ride there and saw sea turtles while snorkeling. In terms of satisfaction, I would say it's 100%! If I have the chance again, I would like to challenge myself with diving next time!

今回は、友達との沖縄旅行でシュノーケリングをしました。シュノーケリングは、私たち4人だけでガイドの松っちゃんともすぐ打ち解けることができました。ガイドさんは、潜る前に魚の説明をしてくれたおかげでシュノーケリングで楽しく魚を見ることができました。今回は、天気があまり良くなかったですが、行きの船でクジラを見ることができ、シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることができました。満足度で言うと100%です！
また機会があれば次は、ダイビングに挑戦したいです！

The purpose was to go to the aquarium, but we were able to efficiently visit various places by bus. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, it was comfortable, and I had a lot of fun throughout the day!

水族館に行くことが目的でしたが、バスでいろいろな場所を効率的にまわれました。添乗員さんの説明もわかりやすく、楽だし、1日とても楽しめました！

I was looking for a good way to explore Okinawa without renting a car, and I discovered this tour. It efficiently covers the main sightseeing spots in Okinawa in one day, and I am very satisfied.

レンタカーを借りずに沖縄観光をする良い手段がないかと思い、
ツアーを探していたところ、このツアーを発見しました。
一日で沖縄観光の主要なスポットを効率的に回ることが出来て、大満足です。

This bus tour was a fun and convenient way to see parts of Okinawa we couldn’t reach without a car. It picked us up right at the hotel, and then we were just along for the ride!

The guide did not speak English (as we knew), but she was very friendly and tried her best to help us. The audio guide was a bit mixed, but did provide some decent information.

We decided to pay the extra 1000 yen for lunch, and it was actually really good!

The aquarium was definitely the highlight, but the bridge was quite scenic and the pineapple park was very true to its name.

Some of the stops (Dinoland?!) were pretty surreal, but that’s part of the fun.

I was very satisfied with the round trip around Ishigaki Island, where I could enjoy a beautiful view of the sea, and lunch was included. The veteran male guide played several songs on the sanshin and sang Okinawan songs, which was quite nice.

石垣島をぐるっと一周、綺麗な海が一望出来て、ランチも付いて大変満足です。
ベテランの男性のガイドさん、何曲か三線を弾いて沖縄の歌を歌ってくれて、なかなか良かったです。

Overall, it felt a bit rushed and hectic, but I was satisfied to experience the charm of Ishigaki Island. The bus guide's singing was also very good, and my 2-year-old daughter enjoyed listening while clapping along.

全体的にかけ足で少し慌ただしい感じがしましたが、ひととおり石垣島の魅力を堪能できて満足でした。バスガイドさんの歌もとても上手で、2歳の娘が手拍子しながら楽しそうに聞いていました。

Driving from Naha in a rental car is a fun experience, but sometimes you just want to take a nap (dangerous!). It's nice to doze off while listening to the guide's explanations on familiar roads. I'm glad I was able to visit Kouri Island, which I've always wanted to see. Next time, I plan to stay in the northern part for the first time and would love to spend a bit more time on Kouri Island. This trip has also given me new ideas for my future travels in Okinawa. The pickled island shallots I bought at the roadside station on Kouri Island were incredibly delicious, and I'm glad I decided to get them. The guide casually recommended local specialties, like the fresh seaweed that’s only available this season, saying, "My favorite is..." which was really nice. Since I was traveling alone, I appreciated having someone to discuss what’s good and what to try. Thank you to the beautiful, serious, and kind guide.

那覇からレンタカーで運転していくと、楽しいドライブではありますが、
たまには居眠りしたい（危！）ですよね。
ガイドさんの解説を聞きながら、何回か通った道をうとうとしながら行くのも気楽でいいものです。
行ってみたかった古宇利島に行けて良かった。次回は北部に初めて滞在して
今度は古宇利島にもう少しゆっくり居たいなとか、新たな沖縄旅の参考にもなります。古宇利島の道の駅で買った島ラッキョウの浅漬けがすごく美味しくて
買ってみてよかった。ガイドさんが「私のお気に入りは・・・」と言って特産品をさりげなく、今の季節しかない生のあーさなどお勧めしてくれたのがとても良かったです。一人参加でしたので、あれがいいこれがいいと話合う相手がいないので、有難かったです。美人でまじめで優しいガイドさんありがとう。

My wife and I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time. On the day of our visit, due to our circumstances, we made a last-minute request to adjust the itinerary to avoid getting too wet. Thanks to the wonderful resourcefulness of our guide, we were able to enjoy canoeing and a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and they specially changed our originally planned full-day tour to a half-day just for us. Despite being young, our guide was experienced and reliable, and he engaged in conversation with us, an elderly couple, making our half-day on Ishigaki Island extremely enjoyable.

家内と二人で初めて石垣島を訪ねました。当日はこちらの都合で，急遽，水にあまり濡れないような内容でお願いできないかとの無理な要望を出させていただきましたが，ガイドさんの素晴らしい機転で，川平湾にてカヌー・グラスボート等を楽しみ，元々の一日ツアーを我々のみ特別に半日に変更していただきました。ガイドさんはお若いのに経験豊富で頼りがいがあり，我々老夫婦とも会話を合わせてくださるなど素晴らしい好青年で，石垣島での半日を大変楽しく過ごさせていただきました。

Enjoyed day trip. Not enough time to see dolphine show.

Using Google Maps it was easy to find the meeting spot. Once we arrived we could easily see the buses parked out front by the sidewalk. While the tour guide and bus driver did not speak English, it was not a problem at all! Our tour guide was very kind, courteous and made sure that we understood where and what time we needed to be back at the bus and the bus was equipped with English audio which provided us with interesting information about the area as we rode from place to place. Just before the stop at Okashi Goten the tour guide will ask you if you would like to preorder a set lunch (Okinawa style soba with pork, I believe.) I was traveling with a vegetarian friend so we did not choose to preorder. Once we arrived we had plenty of time (40-45 min) to have our own lunch at the restaurant across the street because they were not too crowded or busy. If you are traveling with children or a large group, you may want to choose the preorder option as it will be ready and waiting for you when you arrive.
Can't say enough about the Churaumi Aquarium! Could easily see how you could spend an entire day here. I didn't choose to watch the Dolphin Show, but if you do, just know that the show starts @3pm and you need to be back to the bus by 3:30-3:35. Plan accordingly because it is at least a 10-15 min walk from there back to the bus area.
The last stop of the tour is Nago Pineapple Park. I knew that this tour did not include the fee for the Pineapple cart, but thought I would be able view the plantation on my own. That was not the case. With this particular tour you will NOT be able to view the pineapple plantations or the museum as stated in the "write up." You will be given a shopping only pass and ushered into the shopping area. If the Pineapple Park is on your "to do" list then choose one of the other tour options. While the Pineapple Park portion of this particular tour was a disappointment, I still think it is a great tour for the price!

It was a really fun tour.

The driver was very accommodating and drove safely, but what was even more wonderful was our bus guide, Tsunami. With a gentle tone, she explained about Okinawa and the tourist spots in a very easy-to-understand way, and there was even a singing service, making the day fly by.

When visiting tourist spots individually, it often feels like just looking around, but with explanations, it becomes a memorable experience filled with interest. Being mistaken for a local was also amusing and made for a great memory.

It turned out to be the best trip to Okinawa. The fun was doubled! I highly recommend it!

本当に楽しいツアーでした

運転手さんもとても対応がよく安全運転で言うこと無しですが、それ以上に素晴らしかったのはバスガイドの津波さん
優しい口調で沖縄のこと、観光地のこと
とてもわかりやすく、そして歌のサービスもあり１日があっという間に終わってしまいました
個人で観光地に行くと、何となく見て終わることが多いものですが、説明付きだと興味津々で訪れるため印象深いものになります
現地の人に間違えられたことも、面白くて楽しくて良い思い出になりました
最高の沖縄の旅になりました
楽しさ倍増です
絶対オススメですよ〜

I booked a half-day tour of Ishigaki Island. However, due to the impact of the new pneumonia, there were only three of us in our group. But our dedicated guide shared many stories about the island, and we were able to ask questions, making it a fantastic experience. I learned a lot about the island's history, which was very educational. At the end, the guide played traditional island music on the shamisen, making for a fulfilling half-day. I really enjoyed it and would love to participate in another tour.

半日の石垣島ツアーを申し込みました。しかし新型肺炎の影響もあり参加者は私たちのグループ3人だけでした。
しかし専属のガイドとしてたくさんの島にまつわるお話をしてくださり、質問もできたりと最高の時間となりました。島の歴史についてかなり詳しく教えていただきとても勉強になりました。また最後には三味線で島の音楽を奏でてくださり充実した半日となりました。
本当に楽しかったです。またツアーに参加したいと思います。

The bus departs from Ishigaki Island's bus terminal at 9:30 AM, taking a leisurely pace. It's a five-hour tour, and you'll be taken to Ishigaki Airport afterward. I recommend it for the last day of your trip.

What stood out the most was the view from the observation deck at Kabira Park. You have to climb some stairs to reach the deck, but the effort is worth it for the stunning view. You can see Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island all around. Of course, the sea is a cobalt blue, and you can gaze at it for as long as you want without getting bored.

Additionally, you can go glass-bottom boating to watch the marine life around Ishigaki Island. You can see various rare fish, sea turtles, and rays. However, on days when the waves are high, the boat can rock quite a bit, but it was still amazing.

石垣島のバスターミナルをゆっくり目の９時半出発　５時間程のツア－ですが
石垣空港まで送ってもらえます。
旅行の最終日にお勧めです。
特に良かったのは川平公園の展望台からの眺めです。
展望台まで行くには　頑張って階段を登らなければいけませんが，頑張っただけの甲斐あって　展望は素晴らしい
ぐるっと西表島や竹富島が見渡せます。勿論海はコバルトブル－　何時まで眺めていても飽きることがありません。
そして　グラスボ－トで石垣島の海の生き物たちのウオッチング
色々な珍しい魚たちやウミガメ　エイなどが見られます。ただし　海の波が高い日は船が転覆するぐらい揺れますが　でも最高でした。　

I am taking the open water dive license at my home. The Kerama friendly dive experience was awesome. I know most the basic dive skills, but the instructor was always close by. I saw a lot of new marine animals. I strongly recommend to try it if you are now afraid to dive.

The trip was nice and there were quite many stops during the day. Stops were quite short but it was ok because there wasn't that much to see. First hour went collecting people to bus from different stops. Tour guide spoke only japanese but she was really nice. In bus there was english audiotape to inform about the route and sightseeings. All entry fees were included in the tour price.

Tour voucher said a light meal would include the tour but we only got a biscuit and ice cream and we needed to pay a proper lunch.

All other stops were nice except the pineapple farm was quite a disappointment. Only good thing there was pineapple wine and juice tastings.

All in all the trip was not bad but not really good either. It was nice way to spent a day. But I'd recommed to rent a car and drive the route on your own. But if you don't have a chance to rent a car this tour is good way to see the island because public transport is not that easy in Okinawa.

The weather was nice on the day, but due to the wind direction, we did SUP in the mangroves of Miyara River. In conclusion, I was very satisfied!!

It was my first time doing SUP, but our guide Diego taught us carefully, and we were able to enjoy the river at a leisurely pace. Diego was very friendly and shared various knowledge about the mangroves during the tour. Also, I was very satisfied with the many photos he took as part of the course. I highly recommend it!

当日は天気は良かったのですが風向きが悪かったため、宮良川のマングローブでSUPをしました。結論、大満足でした！！

初めてのSUPでしたが、ガイドのジエゴさんが丁寧に教えてくださりゆったりと川を満喫できました。
ジエゴさんはとてもフレンドリーで、マングローブについてなど様々な知識を加えながらツアーをしてくれました。また、コースに含まれている写真も、たくさん撮って頂き大満足です
おすすめです！

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! Since the weather was unpredictable, we made a last-minute reservation the night before. In the end, it turned out to be a very satisfying day! In February, there are few tour companies that offer marine activities, so we were really worried about whether we could actually do it, but we had no problems at all! The sea was incredibly beautiful! Although it wasn't perfectly sunny, it was still so stunning that I was moved. It felt like we were immersed in the world of natural fish, and it was a truly magical and emotional experience.

In the morning, we went snorkeling, had a lunch break at Kabira Bay, and then experienced kayaking in the afternoon. Snorkeling took quite a bit of energy, but we had a nice long lunch break where we ate and leisurely strolled around Kabira Bay, taking photos to recover our energy. (I wish we had taken a glass-bottom boat during that time!) During kayaking at Kabira Bay, we paddled to a beach with hammocks and took lots of memorable photos. When I later looked at the data sent to us, I saw that they had taken an incredible number of photos, making it a truly memorable tour!

I highly recommend this tour!

Additionally, they picked us up from our hotel in the city in the morning and dropped us off at the island terminal on the way back, which was a huge help since we didn't have a rental car. I also recommend it for those planning to stay overnight in Ishigaki Island and then head to other islands!

新婚旅行で参加しました(^^)天気が不安定で読めなかったため、前日の夜にバタバタ予約しました！結果、大満足の一日になりました♡２月はマリンアクティビティができるツアー会社が少なく、本当にできるのか心配していましたが、問題なくできました！海もとっっってもキレイ！！晴天！というわけではなかったのですが、それでもこんなにキレイなの！と感動しました。自然の魚たちの世界にお邪魔させていただいて、自然に溶け込んだような、紛れ込んだような、とっても幻想的で感動的な時間でした。

午前中にシュノーケリング、川平湾でお昼休み、午後にカヤック体験の流れでした。シュノーケリングで結構体力を使ったのですが、お昼休みがゆっくりあり、ごはんを食べて川平湾をゆっくりお散歩したり、写真をとったりして体力回復(^^)(この時間にグラスボートにも乗ればよかった)
川平湾でのカヤックでは、ハンモックのある浜辺まで漕いで上陸！記念になるような写真をたくさん撮っていただきました☆
あとから送られてきたデータを見たら、写真をもう、これでもか！というくらい撮っていてくださって、本当にとっても思い出に残るツアーになりました！
オススメのツアーです(o^^o)

また、朝は市内のホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、帰りは離島ターミナルまで送っていただけたので、レンタカー等の足がなかった私たちはとっても助かりました！石垣島で一泊→離島への予定がある方にもオススメです(^^)笑

This time, I chose this tour so that my friend, who participated in an Okinawa trip for the first time, could experience more of Okinawa. It was a very affordable bus tour that allowed us to explore both the northern and central parts of Okinawa, and my friend was very happy.

今回、初めて沖縄旅行に参加した友人の為に、より多くの沖縄を感じてもらえるようにこのツアーを選びました。
沖縄の北部と中部を一緒に回れるとてもお得なバスツアーで、友人も大喜びでした。

I used this service on the last day of my trip to Ishigaki Island. Since they provided transportation to the airport, I was able to make the most of my time without any waste. As a solo traveler and a paper driver, it was really convenient and enjoyable to tour all the island's attractions by bus. The beauty of Kabira Bay is still etched in my memory.

Lunch was included in the tour, so I didn't have high expectations, but the Ishigaki beef hamburger was incredibly delicious, and everything, including the side dishes and rice, was tasty. The guide's explanations and the shamisen performance were delightful, making for a fun half-day experience. I found the stories from Yoshitaka Gushiken to be very interesting.

石垣島最終日に利用しました。
最後は空港まで、送っていただけるので、無駄なく時間を使う事ができました。
一人旅でペーパードライバーなので、島の名所を全部バスでめぐれて本当に便利で楽しかったです。
川平湾の美しさが今も目に焼きついています。
ランチは、ツアーについてるものなので、期待していなかったのですが、石垣牛のハンバーグがとっても美味しかったですし、お惣菜もお米まで全部美味しかったです。ガイドさんの説明、三味線で歌も聞かせてくださり、楽しい半日でした。
具志堅用高さんのお話が面白かったです。

The instructors were very kind and it was so much fun! I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Okinawa.

インストラクターの皆さんがとても親切でとてもたのしかったです！次沖縄にいく時も絶対に参加したいです。

We participated in this bus tour as a family trip since our youngest child will become a working adult this spring. I recommend it because it efficiently covers various sightseeing spots in Okinawa, but I wish we could have spent a bit more time on Kouri Island! It was the place where I felt the most Okinawan sea. I felt a bit rushed at the other spots, so it would have been nice to have a little more time. The bus guide, who introduced us to Okinawa's history and provided sightseeing information, had a gentle and soothing Okinawan accent that was very comforting and healing throughout the trip. I would like to join another bus tour in a different area when I visit Okinawa again.

下の子供が春から社会人というタイミングの家族旅行でこのバスツアーに参加。沖縄のエリア別観光スポットを効率よく回れるのでおすすめですが、古宇利島はもう少しゆっくり滞在時間が欲しかった！このコース内で一番沖縄らしい海を感じた場所でしたから。美ら海水族館以外のスポットの滞在時間に少し忙しなさを感じたのでもう少し余裕があると良いなぁと感じました。当日、観光案内、沖縄の歴史の紹介をして下さったバスガイドさんの、沖縄なまりの優し〜い穏やかな口調が心地良く、終始癒されました。また沖縄に行った際には別のエリアのバスツアーに参加したいです。

The weather was nice, and I was satisfied with everything at Kouri Island, Manza Beach, and the Tropical Dream Center. The last time I went to Manza Beach, the weather wasn't good, and it was windy, so it wasn't great, but this time the sea was beautiful and the view was wonderful. It was a pity that the stay at Kouri Island and Manza Beach was only 20 minutes. At the Tropical Dream Center, we had 150 minutes, so after spending about an hour there, we also went to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The orchids at the Tropical Dream Center were very beautiful. If I have the opportunity, I would like to come again.

天気も良く、古宇利島、万座毛、熱帯ドリームセンター、どこも満足でした。前回、万座毛に初めて行った時は、天気が良くなく、風が強くて、今ひとつでしたが、今回は、海も綺麗で素晴らしい眺めでした。古宇利島や万座毛は滞在時間が20分と短いのが残念でした。熱帯ドリームセンターでは滞在時間が150分だったので、1時間程、熱帯ドリームセンターを見学してから、美ら海水族館にも出かけました。熱帯ドリームセンターでは蘭の花がとても綺麗でした。また、機会があれば、また来たいと思います。

We arrived more than an hour earlier than the scheduled arrival time, and if we were going to disband this early, I wish they had adjusted the timing properly. I couldn't experience anything at Ryukyu Village. I'm really disappointed.

最終到着予定時間より１時間以上、早くつき、
こんなに早く解散になるんだったら、ちゃんと時間調整してほしかった。琉球村では体験できなかった。
すごい残念です。

We went snorkeling with nine people for our graduation trip. It was my first experience, but even in February, wearing a wetsuit made it not too cold, and it was a lot of fun! We visited three spots, and at the second location, we found a turtle and swam together, taking some wonderful photos. On the way back, we spotted a mother and baby whale, watching them jump and spout water. It was truly a fun and valuable experience!

卒業旅行に9人でシュノーケリングをしました。はじめての体験でしたが2月でもウェットスーツを着ると寒さもそこまで感じずとても楽しい体験となりました！
3カ所巡りましたが2カ所目でカメを見つけ一緒に泳いだり素敵な写真をとっていただきました
帰りの船ではクジラの親子を見つけジャンプや潮吹きを見ました
本当に楽しく貴重な経験となりました！

I participated alone this time, but the driver and guide were very pleasant, and the weather was nice, so I was able to have a great time. I enjoyed the Churaumi Aquarium enough in two and a half hours. I didn't have high expectations for Ryukyu Village, but the show held in the square was unexpectedly enjoyable. The relocated traditional houses were also impressive. The steakhouse I added as an option was fun with the performance right in front of me, and the food was delicious. Thank you very much.

今回は１人参加でしたが、運転者さん、ガイドさん、とても感じがよく、お天気もよかったので、楽しく過ごすことができました。美ら海水族館も2時間半で十分楽しめました。琉球村はそんなに期待していなかったのですが、広場で行われたショーが思いの外楽しかったです。そして、移築された古民家も見応えありました。オプションでつけたステーキハウスも、目の前でのパフォーマンスも楽しく、おいしくいただきました。ありがとうございました。
