All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I participated alone and I'm in my 50s.
I was impressed by the sincerity of the communication, starting from the phone call the day before the event to the follow-up after it ended. (Local information during the shuttle bus ride, important points before the activity, enjoyable interactions during the experience, and skillful photography, etc.)

The weather on the day was partly cloudy to sunny. The water temperature was pleasant even when splashing around. The sunlight wasn't overly intense, and the wind was gentle.
The guidance on paddle operation and stance adjustments tailored to each participant's situation was thorough and easy to understand. The photos taken during the activity were also stylishly captured, which I appreciated!

I was able to experience my long-desired SUP, and I feel completely fulfilled.
Next, I would like to participate in a mangrove SUP experience!
Thank you for providing such enjoyable memories. Thank you very much!!

ひとり参加 50代です。
催行前日の電話連絡からはじめ 終了後の送りまでの対応の誠実さに好感がもてました。
(送迎バス中の地元案内 、実施前の注意点、体験中の楽しいお声掛け、上手な写真撮影等 )

当日の天候は薄曇り～晴れ。 海ぽちゃしても 心地良かった水温でした。 極度に陽射しがギラついていなく 風も穏やかでした。
参加者個々の状況に応じたパドル操作やスタンスの取り方等のご指導も丁寧でわかりやすかったです。
参加中の写真もセンス良く撮ってあり、感心いたしました！

念願のSUPを体験できて充足感満載です。
次は マングローブsup体験に参加したいと思います！
楽しい想い出の時間をご提供くださりましたことに感謝します。ありがとうございました！！

I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles on the glass-bottom boat. The guide was attentive and fun, and I was very satisfied.

グラスボートではマンタとウミガメを見ることができました^_^
ガイドさんも気配り上手で楽しい方で大満足でした。

You can easily visit the main tourist spots without renting a car. There were other solo female travelers, so it felt safe. When I consulted the bus guide about the next day's sightseeing, they were very kind and helpful. I absolutely recommend the optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. I got to see turtles and manta rays!

レンタカーを借りなくても主要な観光地を手軽にまわれますよ。女性一人旅の方が他にもいましたので、安心です。バスガイドさんに次の日の観光について相談をしたらとても親切に対応してくれました^_^川平湾のオプションのグラスボードは絶対にオススメします。私は亀とマンタに会えました！

In the morning, while waiting for the bus in front of the prefectural office, there were some tourists from China, which was a bit confusing, but I quickly figured out when the bus arrived.

Perhaps due to the coronavirus, there were few participants, so I was able to use the seats comfortably. The journey to the aquarium was quite long, but once I arrived, I enjoyed it so much that I forgot about the passage of time. I wished I had about 30 more minutes, but considering the return trip, I thought it couldn't be helped.

On the way back, we stopped at a theme park introducing Ryukyu culture, but it was already late, so there were few visitors, which felt a bit lonely. If someone had told me about the highlights, I might have enjoyed it more. However, seeing the manta rays at the aquarium made me forget about everything else.

朝、県庁前でバスを待っていたら、中国のツアーの方がいて紛らわしかったのですが、バスの到着はすぐわかりました。
コロナウィルスのせいか参加者は少なく座席をゆったりと使えました。
水族館までは結構の道のりでしたふが、到着したら時間のたつのを忘れるほど
楽しめました。もう30分くらい余裕があればいいなと思いましたが、
帰りを考えるとしょうがないかなと思いました。
帰り道で琉球の文化を紹介しているテーマパークに寄ったのですが、すでに
遅い時間なので入場者も少なくて寂しかったです。見どころを教えていただければ楽しめたかもしれません。でも、水族館のマンタの雄姿が見れて他のことは忘れました。

I think the best course for beginners in Okinawa is to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. It was my first time at the Okashi Goten.

美ら海水族館に行きたい沖縄初心者向けとしては、ベストなコースではないかと思います。
お菓子御殿は初めてでした。

I thought the guide on the bus was wonderful.
I was able to learn about Okinawan dances while traveling on the bus, and I enjoyed the events at Ryukyu Village.

I also received great recommendations for awamori, which I was able to bring back as souvenirs.

It was a lovely guide who made me want to meet again.

バスの中ガイドさんがとても素晴らしいと思いました
移動中のバスの中で沖縄の踊りを教えてもらえて
琉球村のイベントも楽しめました

おすすめの泡盛もしっかり教えてもらって
お土産にすることができました

またお会いしたいなぁと思わせてくれたステキなガイドさんでした

We had an amazing experience at the aquarium it is a long bus ride but there is a lot to see on the way there including the beautiful ocean once at the aquarium seeing the whale sharks was magnificent watching them feed the whale sharks was absolutely amazing and to think that they actually release them back into the ocean after they’re done studying them is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

I have read good reviews for this trip and just nice that we lucky to get the rebate ( 2 for 1) promo.. So we book the trip!!!

Meeting point : The pick up point is not clearly indicate .. We just know that is at the hotel.. We reached early and scare that we might miss the bus .. Lucky we ask the hotel lobby, yes is the correct place... I suggest that can take picture where is the pick up point and shown at booking page is the best.. Attendance was smooth and easy.. Puncture and fast.. The tour leader couldn't speak english .. But anyway we still OK ..

Lunch at the restaurant opp the sweet potato shop is great.. The udon is nice !

Everyplace given time is just nice except that I prefer the churaumi aquarium to have longer time..
The tour leader bring us to the entry , give us the tickets and also give clear instructions where is the meet up point .. I thk 150min is not enough because what if is elderly ? They have no enough time to look around .. And walk back the carpark is a super long distance for them ..

Pineapple park: it a just mini park wit shopping area .. Time spent here is just nice .. Those do not want shopping can go take pictures outside the shop ..

Overall : it is a good experience .. Those who do not drive can join this tour!!!
We will recommend this to my friends and families ...

I am satisfied both in terms of time and content.
I think the price is reasonable as well.
However, I wished the stay time at each destination could be a bit longer.
In that case, it would be better if the meeting time for the tour started a little earlier.

時間的にも内容的にも満足です。
価格的にも適正だと思います。
ただ訪問先の滞在時間が　それぞれもう少し長くあればいいなと思いました。
その分　ツアーの始まりの集合時間がもう少し早くもいいと思います。

The aquarium was a wonderful experience it’s just amazing to see whale sharks in captivity I hope they do catch and release like what I was told The aquarium by far was the best aquarium I have been to little bit of a long bus ride but the scenery along way spray nice all in all it was worth the adventure.

everything was marvelous. The staff people was very kind and the journey was amazing.

Even on a half-day tour, it was just the right amount of sightseeing.
The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay was wonderful.
The beautiful sea and coral reefs were stunning.
I was thrilled to see sea turtles.
The bus guide's sanshin performance was also fantastic.

半日コースでも、ちょうどいい感じで観光できました。
川平湾でのグラスボート。
綺麗な海にサンゴ礁。
海ガメにも会えて感激でした。
バスガイドさんの三線も最高でした。

The tour covered several highlights of Ishigaki Island in about five hours. Fortunately, we were blessed with good weather, allowing for great sightseeing. The sea was very beautiful. We took a glass-bottom boat with the operator, and since there was no wind, the waves were minimal, making it easy to enjoy the fish and coral. However, I couldn't take good photos because the reflections on the glass bottom made it difficult. It's best to just see it in person.

I thought the flowers were susuki (Japanese pampas grass), but the guide told us they were sugarcane flowers. Additionally, we learned some local dialects of Ishigaki Island, which made the sightseeing even more enjoyable.

石垣島の見どころを何か所か、5時間ほどで回るツアーでした。
幸い天気に恵まれて、良い観光が出来ました。
海はとても綺麗でした。OPのグラスボートに乗りましたが、風もなかったので、波も少なく綺麗に、魚や珊瑚を堪能できました。写真は底のガラスに反射した影が映るので、うまく撮影できませんでした。見るに限ります。
　ススキの花が咲いていると思いましたが、ガイドさんが「サトウキビの花だ」と教えてくださいました。その外にも石垣島の方言も教えて頂き、楽しく観光ができました。

We were able to efficiently visit various places, mainly the Churaumi Aquarium. I feel like we could make better use of our time compared to using a rental car. With the steak dinner plan, we got off the bus and enjoyed steak at Sam's Steakhouse. It was fun to watch the cooking performance right in front of us.

美ら海水族館メインに、効率よくいろいろ行けました。
レンタカーを使うより時間が有効に使える気がします。ステーキディナープランで、バスを降りてからステーキハウスサムズでステーキをいただきました。目の前で調理してくれパフォーマンスもあって楽しかったです。

My first dive was in the Kerama Islands! I’ve never felt this way before, dreaming about the next dive as soon as the current one ended. I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get to see any turtles. The staff's prompt and efficient service was also very pleasant to witness. I believe that contributed significantly to my desire to go back again.

初めてのダイブが慶良間諸島！
終わったとたん次のダイブを夢みるなんて今までになかったことです。かめを見れなかったことが心残りでした。スタッフの対応もテキパキとみていて気持ちいいものでした。多分にそれがまた行きたい気持ちを更に大きく作ってくれたのだと思います。

I felt reassured participating in the tour as the staff was energetic, friendly, and very experienced in dealing with tourists. During the snorkeling, I was able to see various types of fish up close, which was great. Next time, I would like to try not only snorkeling but also diving in the ocean. While kayaking, I enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa while chatting with the guide.

元気もノリもよく、観光客に対する対応もとても手慣れている様子で安心してツアーに参加できました。
シュノーケリングでは様々な種類の魚を間近で見ることができてのよかったです。次はシュノーケルだけでなく、海の中を潜る体験をしてみたいです。
カヤックはガイドさんとお話ししながら沖縄のきれいな海を楽しむことができました。

The time allocation for the course and the options were great. I would like to use it again when I come back. Thank you very much.

コースの時間配分、選択といいよかったです。また来たときは利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I’m from Thailand and took this tour with my friend on February 3rd, my chose this tour because we didn’t have a car and saw this tour online with good reviews. On the day we took the tour it started right on time with friendly staff and comfortable ride on the bus. Everything on the schedule was accurate, only negative part was guide not able to speak English but was very helpful to make us comfortable. We love the experience will definitely come back again with friends and family to take this tour again.

We participated as a family of three (including a one-year-old child). I think it's easy to join since they pick you up from various hotels. The beach at Kouri Island was incredibly beautiful and left me in awe. However, there is limited free time, so we only had enough time to take some photos at the beach and look at a few souvenirs. Next time, I would like to visit Heart Rock and the tower as well.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time to explore at a leisurely pace, even with a child, and we were able to see the dolphin show. We also enjoyed visiting various major spots. Thank you!

家族3人（1歳の子供含む）で参加しました。いろんなホテルにお迎えに来てくれるので、参加しやすいと思います。古宇利島のビーチがとにかくキレイで感動しました。ただ自由時間が少ないのでビーチで写真を撮って、お土産を少し見るくらいしか時間がありません。次回はハートロックやタワーの方も行ってみたいです。
美ら海水族館は時間がたっぷりあるので、子連れでもゆっくり回れましたし、イルカのショーも見る事が出来ました。その他も主要スポットを色々回れて満喫出来ました。ありがとうございました！

I tried the glass-bottom boat recommended by the guide, and it was incredibly beautiful—what a surprise! Unfortunately, the weather was a bit cloudy, but the beauty of the underwater scenery was truly amazing. There was also a performance of the sanshin on the bus, making for a wonderful experience in Ishigaki Island!

ガイドさんオススメのグラスボード乗ってみたら、すんごくキレイでビックリ！
あいにくお天気は薄曇りでしたが、海中の美しさはとても素晴らしいかったです。
バスの中では三線の演奏もあり石垣島を満喫‼︎

I was impressed by the clarity of the ocean. I obtained my diving license 23 years ago, but since my last entry was 15 years ago, I was worried, so I signed up for an introductory dive. I was able to do well on my first attempt, so I was allowed to do two additional dives, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa that I had always admired.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that there are also programs for divers who are challenging themselves after a long time.

Although my diving skills were not great, I am grateful for the careful guidance and support from the instructor who accompanied me. Thank you, Ito-san.

　海の透明度に感激しました。ライセンスを取って23年ですが最後のエントリーが15年前で心配だったので体験ダイビングで申し込みました。1回目うまく出来たのでその後2回の追加ダイブさせてもらい憧れだった沖縄の海を堪能できました。
　スタッフの方に聞くと久々挑戦のダイバー用の企画もあるとのことでした。
　下手くそなダイブでしたがお付き合いいただいたインストラクターの方の丁寧なご指導とガイドにに感謝しております。伊藤さんありがとうございました。

I used the service on the afternoon of my arrival day. I took a flight that arrived at Ishigaki Airport at 12:30, and after quickly moving to the city and dropping off my luggage at the hotel, there wasn't much time before the meeting time, but I was glad I made it in time. This was my second time on Ishigaki Island, but my first visit was decades ago, and I remember using the regular sightseeing bus then as well. I recall visiting the Tomb of the Chinese and Kabira Bay, but the Tomb of the Chinese was under restoration during my first visit, so it was quite beautiful this time. It was also my first time riding a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. On the glass-bottom boat, I saw beautiful seas, coral reefs, colorful fish, and even sea turtles. Additionally, the shop we stopped by for tea time had a nice atmosphere, and I don't remember exploring the primeval forest before, so that was a new experience for me. I had a great time.

到着日の午後に利用しました。12時半に石垣空港に着く飛行機ですぐに市内に移動し、ホテルに荷物を預けたら集合時間まであまり時間がありませんでしたが、間に合ってよかったです。石垣島は2回目なのですが、1回目は何十年も前でその時も定期観光バスを利用したので、唐人墓と川平湾に行ったのは覚えていますが、唐人墓は前来た時は修復前だったので今回かなりきれいになっていたし、川平湾でグラスボートに乗ったのは初めてです。グラスボートでは、きれいな海にサンゴ礁、色とりどりの魚にウミガメも見れました。あと、ティータイムに立ち寄ったお店も雰囲気があったし、原生林?の散策も前はした覚えがないので、初体験でした。とても楽しかったです。

On the day of the trip, I received a notification that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, and I considered canceling. However, since we had already made it partway, we decided to go snorkeling instead.

I was surprised by the vibrant colors and the number of fish, which exceeded my expectations. The guide was really kind, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

Next time, I look forward to planning another trip to Okinawa and hopefully visiting the Blue Cave.

当日、青の洞窟へは波が高くて行けれないという連絡をいただき、キャンセルすることも考えましたが、途中まで行っていた事もあり、シュノーケリング をすることにしました。
想像以上の色とりどりの魚とその数にびっくりしました。案内の方も本当に親切で、楽しい時間となりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は青の洞窟へ行けることを楽しみにまた沖縄旅行を計画したいと思います。

The sightseeing tour in a clean, large bus was comfortable despite the low price, and the weather was clear. There were only a few participants, and both the driver and the guide were friendly, making the experience truly enjoyable. I am very satisfied. Thank you!

快晴の中、低料金にもかかわらずきれいな大型バスでの観光は、快適でした。参加人数も少なく、ドライバーさんもガイドさんもフレンドリーで、本当に気持ちよく観光できました。大満足です。ありがとうございました。

It might be the season, but there were only half the number of people on the bus, so one person could use two seats, and the free time was set just right, which made me very satisfied.

時期が時期かもしれないけど、バスの半分しか人数いなくて、1人ふたつ席使えたり、自由時間の設定時間がちょうどよくて、大満足でした。

The weather was bad, so the points where you could see the beautiful scenery lacked impact. It's better not to have high expectations for lunch. It's a shame that there is only a round tour available in the morning. The guide's stories and songs were very good.

天気が悪かったので、せっかくの絶景が見られるポイントも感動がなく。
ランチは期待しない方が良いです。
午前発は一周ツアーしかないのが残念。
ガイドさんのお話や歌はとても良かったです。

The bus terminal was conveniently located right in front of the remote island terminal, making it easy to find, and since we returned to the same place, it was very convenient for shopping and dining afterwards. During the tour, the guide shared behind-the-scenes stories about famous people from Ishigaki Island, sang using a sanshin, and provided detailed information about the island's nature, which kept us engaged throughout. We visited several spots, but the beauty of Kabira Bay was truly breathtaking. On the glass-bottom boat, we were lucky enough to see many marine creatures like sea turtles, rays, and clownfish, which was a lot of fun!

離島ターミナル目の前のバスターミナル集合だったので分かりやすく、帰りも同じ場所で解散のため、その後の買い物＆食事をするのに非常に便利でした。
ツアー中はガイドさんが石垣島出身の著名人の裏話を話してくれたり、三線を使って歌を聴かせてくれたり、島の自然について詳しく話してくださるなど、飽きることなく過ごせました。
いくつかスポットを回りましたが、川平湾の美しさは群を抜いて感動しました。
グラスボートでも、運良く海亀やエイ、ニモなど沢山の海の生物を見ることができ、とても楽しかったです！

I had a great time participating while listening to the guide's stories and the songs played on the sanshin at the sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island. The optional glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay was also wonderful, with the colors of the sea being incredibly beautiful, creating great memories.

石垣島の観光名所を、ガイドのおじさんのお話や、三線の唄を聴きながら楽しく参加出来ました。オプションの川平湾グラスボートも、海の色が素晴らしく綺麗で、良い思い出になりました。

I was worried because my daughter lacked confidence in swimming, but the instructor took her with a float, so we were able to enjoy ourselves as a parent and child without any worries. The cave was beautiful, but I was also very impressed by the stunning underwater scenery on the way there. I was concerned it would be cold in the sea during mid-winter, but it was not a problem at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable and not crowded! I think it's better to bring your own bath towel.

娘が泳ぎに自信がなくて心配しましたが、インストラクターさんが浮き輪で連れていってくれるので、安心して親子で楽しむことができました。
洞窟も綺麗ですが、行くまでの海中もとても綺麗で感動しました。
真冬の海で寒いのではと心配しましたが、全く問題なく逆に空いていて快適でした！
バスタオルは持参した方が、良いと思います。

When I come to Okinawa, I always participate in this Churaumi Aquarium bus tour. The price is reasonable, and I was able to enjoy the stunning views of Kouri Island and Manzamo. This time, the course also included a stroll through American Village for the first time, making for a fulfilling Okinawa sightseeing experience. This bus tour is undoubtedly the best tour.

沖縄に来た時は、必ずこの美ら海水族館バスツアーに参加します。料金もリーズナブルですし、古宇利島、万座毛の絶景も堪能出来、また今回初めてアメリカンビレッジの散策がコースに追加され、充実した沖縄観光が出来ました。このバスツアーは文句なしでベストツアーです。
