All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

It was a packed tour from morning to night, but I felt it was a bit rushed since we only had a quick look at places other than the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, which were all quite far away. However, even in the short time we had, the guide explained various things, making it easy to understand and enjoyable.

朝から晩まで盛りだくさんのツアーでしたが、遠いとこばかりで美ら海水族館以外は駆け足でさらっと見るだけだったのがちょっと慌ただしかったと感じました。でも短い間でもガイドさんがいろいろ説明してくれたのでわかりやすかったし、楽しかったです。

It felt like a condensed experience of the tourist spots in Ishigaki Island, but it wasn't rushed at all. The guide was entertaining, and the lunch was satisfying, so it was efficient and enjoyable.

石垣島の観光スポットを短時間にギューっと濃縮した感じでしたが、そんなにセカセカしてませんし、ガイドさんも面白かったし、ランチも充実してましたので、効率的で良かったです。

I chose the water buffalo cart course. After selecting the plan, I was a bit anxious because I had to make the payment within two days, and since all communication was done via email, I wasn't used to it. However, I received prompt replies to my inquiries via email, and everything went smoothly on the day of the event. The round-trip boat fare was included, and since the payment for the tickets and the boat schedule were all arranged in advance, there was no hassle, and I could just enjoy the experience. It was a great deal!

水牛車コースを選択しました。
プランを選択後、入金が2日以内だったので焦った事と全てメールでのやり取りだったので慣れておらず少し不安でしたがメールでの問い合わせにも即返信があり問題なく当日を迎えれました。往復船代金も込みなのと、当日チケットの支払いや行きの船の時間を調べて決めてなど手続きが事前に済んでいるので煩わしさもなくただ楽しむだけで利用できました^^お得です！

I participated in this tour to adjust my time before my afternoon flight. It was a half-day tour, but we visited the sightseeing spots in Ishigaki Island compactly and were dropped off at the airport. I was able to use my time very efficiently. The lunch was also quite tasty.

午後のフライトまでの時間調整で参加しました。半日ツアーでしたが、石垣島の観光スポットをコンパクトにまわって、空港で降ろしてもらいました。とても時間を効率良く使えました。昼食もまずまず美味しかったです。

It was great to have a clear guide that allowed us to do a lot of sightseeing in one day. I thought it would have been nice to stay a bit longer at the Churaumi Aquarium.

わかりやすいガイドで1日たくさん観光ができて良かったです。
美ら海水族館にはもう少し長く滞在できればよいと思いました。

I was glad to see the popular whale sharks and the dolphin show at the Churaumi Aquarium!!

What I found concerning was that the driver and guide talked a lot among themselves, and there was no uplifting Okinawan music. That was a bit disappointing.

美ら海水族館で、人気のジンベエザメと、
イルカショーが見られて良かった!!

気になった事は、運転手さんとガイドさんの
私語が多かった事、ムードアップの沖縄音楽などなかった事。少し残念でした。

A bus tour that allows you to visit many places compactly and at a low cost is great. There are no hassles like driving a rental car or paying for parking and entrance fees, which is a plus. I was also able to enjoy some beer. The vibe of the Japanese guests on the tour is still not as lively as that of foreigners, so the guide seemed a bit lackluster. However, it turned out to be quite a fulfilling day, and I had a lot of fun.

多くの場所をコンパクトに、かつ、低コストで回るバスツアーはいいですね。
自分でレンタカーをうんてんしたり、駐車料金や入場料を払ったりといった手続きがないので、正解です。ビールも飲めましたし。
日本人客のツアーは、外国人と違い相変わらずノリは悪いので、ガイドさんもハリがないかな？
でも、結構充実した1日になり、また、楽しく過ごせましたよ。

I participated in the rental bicycle plan! I think this price, which includes round-trip tickets for the boat and the rental bicycle fee, is quite a bargain. The weather was unstable, with sunny spells and light rain, but since we had plenty of time until the bicycle return, we were able to take shelter from the sudden rain without worrying about the time, allowing us to explore the island with peace of mind! The people at the island's shops were all very nice, and I made great memories!

レンタサイクルプランで参加しました！
船の往復チケット、レンタサイクル代込みでこの金額はかなりお得だと思います^ ^
天気は晴れたり霧雨が降ったりであまり安定しなかったですが、レンタサイクルの返却時間までかなり余裕があった為、突然の雨でも時間を気にせず雨宿りなども出来て安心して島を回ることができました！
島のお店の方々も良い方ばかりで良い思い出ができました！！

It was a popular tour that efficiently covered highlights in a day, visiting places that are hard to reach as an individual traveler. For me, the Nago Pineapple Park wasn't a necessary stop, so I wished I had a bit more time to explore the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The guide was cheerful and quick, making for a meaningful day. Thank you very much.

一人旅だったので、個人ではなかなか行けない箇所を、日帰りで効率よく見どころを回ってくれる人気のツアーでした。私にとっては、ナゴパイナップルパークは回らなくてもよい箇所だったので、美ら海水族館でもう少しゆっくり見れる時間が欲しかったです。
ガイドさんも明るくて、テキパキしていて、有意義な1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

First of all, I was surprised by the large number of participants (although I imagine there are even more during the peak season…). The staff who guided us were very attentive, so I was able to participate efficiently without feeling confused.

For lunch on Yufu Island, I had a local specialty bento box, and I wasn't expecting much, but there was a menu or description of the dishes placed on each table, which was thoughtful, and the taste was good.

On Taketomi Island, I chose to rent a bicycle and took plenty of time until the 5 PM ferry. I leisurely visited each sightseeing spot, and it became a wonderful memory, offering views that you can't experience on a bus tour.

まずは参加人数の多さに驚きましたが（ベストシーズンはもっと多いのでしょうけど…）案内してくださるスタッフさんの誘導も行き届いていたので、戸惑うこともなく、効率よく参加することができました。
由布島での昼食は郷土料理の幕の内弁当であまり期待していなかったのですが、おしながきというかお料理の説明分が各テーブルに置いてあり、丁寧でお味も良かったです。
竹富島ではレンタルサイクルを選択して１７時発のフェリーまで時間をたっぷり取りました。各観光ポイントをのんび～り回りましたが、バス観光では味わえない風景がみれて最高の思い出になりました。

Since it was my first solo trip to Okinawa, I decided to join a tour.

The Churaumi Aquarium was farther away than I expected, but the guide shared a lot of information about Okinawa along the way, and I appreciated being able to take a nap when I got tired, which was one of the tour's attractions.

The guide's dance to the song by Kiroro was adorable, and their smile was lovely! Not only the guide but also the driver greeted us warmly every time we got off the bus, which was very pleasant!

There were quite a few foreigners due to the season, but it wasn't a problem at all. There were also many solo travelers, as well as families with babies and groups of friends, so the usage patterns were diverse.

The price includes the admission fee to the Churaumi Aquarium, so considering the cost of renting a car, gasoline, and highway fees, it’s quite affordable (for one person).

I thought the sightseeing time would be short before participating, but it turned out to be reasonable. However, I did wish we had a bit more time on Kouri Island.

If I had any complaints, it would be about the departure time. It took quite a while to leave, even though everyone was gathered, so I think it would have been better if that time had been allocated to sightseeing.

Overall, I really enjoyed participating in the tour. I would like to join a different tour the next time I visit Okinawa. Thank you for the wonderful time!

沖縄初ひとり旅行だったのでツアーに参加してみました。

美ら海水族館は思ったより遠かったですが、途中ガイドさんが沖縄のこと色々教えてくれたり、疲れたら仮眠とれたのもツアーの魅力でした。

ガイドさんがKiroroの歌を踊ったの可愛かったですし、笑顔も素敵でした！ガイドさんのみならず運転手さんも毎回外出て愛想よく出迎えてくれたのもとても好感もてました！

時期的に外国人が多かったですが、全然問題なかったです。１人利用客も結構いましたし、赤ちゃん連れ家族や友人同士など利用形態は様々でした。

値段は美ら海水族館の入場料込みですから、レンタカーやガソリン代、高速道路代諸々考えたらかなりお安いです(１人の場合です)。

観光時間は参加する前は短いと思ってましたが、案外妥当でした。ただ唯一、古宇利島だけはもう少し時間が欲しいと思いましたね。

不満があるとすれば出発時間です。集合時間長めにとってるのか、出発するまで大分時間かかったので(全員集まっていても)、その分を観光時間に当てられたらなお良かったと思います。

全体的に参加してとても良かったです。また沖縄に行った時は違うツアーに参加したいと思いました。楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

There was no traffic, so we progressed right on time. The guide was also very polite.
This isn't due to the tour, but I've heard that winter in Ishigaki Island tends to be windy with continuous clouds or rain. I would like to visit again during better weather.

渋滞がないせいかきっちり時間通りに進みました。ガイドさんも丁寧でした。
これはツアーのせいではないですが、冬の石垣島は風が強く曇りもしくは雨続きだそうです。次回はいい気候の時に再訪したいです。

I was a bit tired from the one-day course, but I was able to enjoy the sea in Okinawa. Churaumi was really crowded. Surprisingly, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was also nice.

一日コースでちょっと疲れましたが、沖縄の海も堪能できました。美ら海はすごく混んでました。意外に御菓子御殿も良かったです。

The content was very fulfilling.
The guide was very kind and provided various information in a polite manner.
The shopping time wasn't very long, which was just right.

内容はとても充実でした。
ガイドさんはとても親切かつ丁寧にいろいろ案内してくれました。
ショッピングの時間も長くないで、ちょっどでした。

I participated in the standard plan! Since it wasn't too crowded on a weekday, I had no complaints about the schedule, but during weekends or busy seasons, there might not be enough time. I highly recommend it for those who want to explore typical Okinawa without a car! The guide's singing was really great!

通常プランで参加しました！
平日でそこまで混雑しなかったのでスケジュールに不満はありませんでしたが、土日や繁忙期等、混みあっている時は時間が足りないかもしれません。
車無しでベタな沖縄を観光したい方にはとてもオススメです！
ガイドさんの歌がとても上手でした！

I used this plan for a trip with my mother in her 60s during the October holiday.

I considered whether I could visit three islands in one day on my own, but due to the bus transfer times and ferry schedules not aligning, I decided to book this plan.

As expected from a three-island tour, the transportation was very efficient with no wasted time. On Iriomote Island, we were able to enjoy a cruise before it got crowded, and during our free time on Yufu Island, we did a brown sugar packing activity after lunch, enjoyed coffee at a café while taking in the scenery, and leisurely strolled through the botanical garden, just in time for our meeting without any rush, allowing us to take plenty of photos.

On Taketomi Island, we requested a bus tour and a water buffalo cart, so my mother, in her 60s, didn’t get tired. We searched for star sand on the beach, walked around the island taking pictures of the townscape, and enjoyed parfaits at a dessert shop I had researched. I wanted to relax on the island, so I changed our return ferry to a later one.

We were blessed with good weather, and although I have traveled a lot, this was my first time experiencing such a satisfying day tour. My mother seemed very pleased as well. I highly recommend this plan!

10月の連休に60代の母との旅行で利用しました。

自分でもこの通りに1日で3島周れるかなと色々と検討したのですが
バスの乗り継ぎ時間や船の時間が合わず、こちらのプランを予約しました。

3島めぐりのプランだけあって、移動も非常に効率よく無駄がありませんでした。西表島では混雑する前にクルージングができ、由布島の自由時間ではランチ後に黒糖の詰め放題をやったり、カフェでコーヒーを飲んで景色を眺めたり、植物園をのんびり散策してちょうど集合時間位でしたので慌てて見る事もなく、沢山写真も撮れました。
竹富島ではバス観光と水牛車をお願いしたので60代の母も疲れる事無く、浜辺で星の砂を探したり、島内を歩いて街並みの写真を撮ったり、調べておいたスイーツのお店でパフェも食べることができました。島内でゆっくりしたかったので帰りの船を遅い便に変更してもらいました。

お天気にも恵まれ、多くの旅をしていますがこんなに満足度の高い1日観光は初めてでした。母も大満足だったようです。このプランおすすめします！

My first trip to Okinawa. The guide provided detailed explanations and there were performances of songs and dances, making for a fun day. I highly recommend this experience for the price.

初の沖縄旅行。ガイドさんが詳しく説明をしてくれたり歌や踊りの披露もあり
楽しい1日を過ごすことができました。
この内容でこの金額は本当におススメです。

For those considering visiting the Churaumi Aquarium without renting a car, I highly recommend this option. It's a great deal as it includes public bus fare and admission fees while taking you to various other places.

The aquarium was nice, but Kouri Island also has beautiful seas that are very soothing. The "sea grapes" and "asa" I bought at the interaction plaza next to the bus parking lot were inexpensive and very delicious. I've heard the baked sweet potatoes are also recommended, but they weren't ready when I visited.

1,2人でレンタカーでなく、美ら海水族館に行こうと思っておられる方にはオススメです。公共のバス+入館料ぐらいのお値段で他にも色々連れて行っていただけてお得です。
水族館も良かったですが古宇利島も海がきれいで癒されます。バスの駐車場横のふれあい広場という所で買った「海ぶどう」「アーサー」はお安くてとても美味しかったです。焼き芋もおススメだそうですが、行った時はまだ焼き上がっていませんでした。

While it was great that we could efficiently tour the sights, there were a few concerns outside of sightseeing.
- The bus arrived late, but there was no explanation or apology for the delay.
- Although the tour description did not mention that the guide would sing or dance, many reviews highlighted how enjoyable the guide's singing and dancing were. I was looking forward to this, but instead, I only remember a long discussion about flowers that was not particularly interesting.
- The guide sometimes spoke in honorifics, but then would casually use phrases like "sometimes," and I found the frequent use of "the person" to be bothersome.
- The person in front of me leaned back not just a little, but significantly into my space. Since I was alone, I moved to the seat next to me, but I would have appreciated an announcement from the guide about proper etiquette regarding reclining seats.
- Since there were people with mobility issues, it would have been better to have a step stool when getting off the bus.
- There was a shopping stop during the itinerary, but I would have liked some recommendations on what was delicious or an explanation about the items.

I have participated in several other bus tours, and compared to those, this one lacked consideration. I was disappointed, especially since the reviews had been positive. I think it is good for efficiently visiting tourist spots, but I learned that it should not be expected to be the same as the experiences described in the reviews.

It's difficult to visit all the tourist spots in Okinawa in one day as an individual, so I joined this tour. The ticket to the Churaumi Aquarium is included, and I think this price is very reasonable. It was a fulfilling day packed with highlights.

個人だと１日で沖縄の観光地を巡るのは難しいので こちらのツアーに参加しました。
美ら海水族館のチケットも付いて このお値段はとてもお得だと思います。
見所満載で充実した１日になりました。

I think this tour is perfect for those traveling to the outer islands for the first time. It was a long tour from 7:55 AM at the outer island terminal to 4:30 PM, but the weather was relatively good, making it a satisfying experience.

During the itinerary, I was amazed by the mangrove forests of Iriomote Island, enjoyed a leisurely ride on a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island, and explored the crystal-clear underwater views with a glass-bottom boat at Taketomi Island. The bus tour, especially the free exploration at Kaiji Beach (Star Sand Beach), was rich in content and created wonderful memories.

I would love to go island hopping again if I have the opportunity.

本ツアーは初めての離島旅行の方には最高かと思います。朝7:55離島ターミナル集合～16:30解散までの長時間ツアーでしたが、天気が比較的よく満足できたツアーでした。
行程中は西表島のマングローブの樹林に驚き、水牛車に乗ってゆったり由布島上陸、竹富島：グラスボードで透明度抜群の海中見学、バス観光は特にカイジ浜（星砂の浜）での自由探索、など内容豊富でよい思い出になりました。
また、機会があれば離島巡りをしたいと思っています。

Three years ago, I participated in a morning tour. At that time, it was pouring rain, so I really wanted to go again when the weather was nice, but due to time constraints, I joined the afternoon tour this time. As for the course, the morning tour definitely offers more enjoyment.

What was disappointing was the light snack... the sata andagi were dry, and several people left some uneaten. The drink was fixed as mango juice, which was too sweet. Even though there were only eight tour guests in the restaurant, it seemed odd that we all had to share two four-person tables.

At the entrance of the Yaeyama Palm Grove, I bought fresh juice with sugarcane. It was very delicious! Unfortunately, it rained again this time, but the guide made it very enjoyable.

３年前に午前発のツアーに参加しました。その時は大雨だったため、ぜひ晴れている時にもう一度行ってみたくなったのですが、時間の都合で今回は午後のツアーに参加しました。コースとしてはやはり午前発の方がたっぷり楽しめます。
がっかりしたのは軽食・・・サーターアンダギーがパサパサで、何人かは食べ残していました。飲み物は選べず、マンゴージュースでしたが甘すぎました。レストラン内にツアー客の８人しかいないのに、４人掛けのテーブル２つに全員相席というのもどうかと・・・
ヤエヤマヤシ林の入り口で、さとうきび入りの生ジュースを買いました。とても美味しかったです！
残念ながら今回も雨でしたが、ガイドさんがとても楽しませてくださいました。

I participated because I didn't have much time to stay in Ishigaki Island and wanted to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. The guide's stories were interesting and included helpful information for when I visit other islands, which made it enjoyable. The guide's singing was great and heartwarming. Foreigners were filming videos. One downside was that if others arrived early, I felt a bit rushed, but the overall experience was enjoyable enough to outweigh that. I joined alone, but I was able to talk and have fun with other solo travelers.

あまり石垣島での滞在時間があまりなく効率よく観光スポットに行ける為参加しました。ガイドさんの話も面白く他の離島に行った際に役立つ話もあり楽しかった。ガイドさんの歌が上手くホッコリしました。外国の方は動画で撮ってました。不満点は他の人が集合時間より早く集まると少し急かされる点ですがそれを超える面白さがありました。一人で参加でしたが他の一人旅の人と話したり楽しめました。

The guide's singing and sanshin playing were wonderful. I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but there were a few other solo travelers, and I was able to chat with the person next to me, which made the experience enjoyable. The detailed explanations and the kind guide helped create a fun and memorable experience.

ガイドさんの歌と三線が素敵でした。1人参加で不安でしたが、1人の方も何名かいらしてお隣の方と話しもはずみ楽しく過ごすことができました。丁寧な説明に優しいガイドで楽しく良い思い出ができました。

I was glad to see the mangroves up close during the cruise. The Okinawan cuisine for lunch was also very delicious.

クルージングではマングローブ を間近で見ることができてよかったです。お昼の沖縄料理もとってもおいしかったです。

You can efficiently explore the island. The guides for the glass boat, bus tour, and water buffalo cart were all very attentive, allowing us to gain knowledge while having fun. I'm glad I participated.

I visited the office to confirm the meeting place at the remote island terminal, and they suggested, "If you go now, you can make it to the previous start time. Would you like to change?" After contacting them to see if a change to Taketomi Island was possible, they made the adjustment. Thanks to that, I avoided an hour of downtime, and they also took care of my luggage, allowing me to move around freely. I was very grateful for their kindness.

とても効率よく島内観光ができます。
グラスボート・バス観光・水牛車それぞれのガイドさんが皆さん丁寧で、楽しみながら知識を得ることができました。
参加してよかったです。

離島ターミナルで集合場所を確認する為に事務所を訪れたのに「今からでしたら一つ前の開始時間に間に合いますよ？変更されますか？」と提案してくださり竹富島に変更可能かどうか連絡した上で変更して頂いた。
お陰で1時間のロスタイムがなくなり、荷物も預かって頂き、身軽に行動することができました。
とても親切でありがたかったです。

I used this service as a solo traveler and a paper driver. I had a great time visiting places unique to Okinawa, in addition to the Churaumi Aquarium. I was able to enjoy myself comfortably even alone.
I have found more places I want to visit again and new places I want to go to, so I would like to use this service again. Thank you!

ひとり旅行でペーパードライバーなのでこちらを利用しました。美ら海水族館以外にも沖縄ならではの所に行けて楽しかったです。ひとりでも楽しくゆったり楽しむことができました。
また行ってみたいところやこれから行きたいところも増えたのでまた利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

I booked a solo trip. The charming guide entertained us with songs and dances. Everyone seemed to have a great time throughout. Next time, I want to go again with my wife.

ひとり旅で申し込みました。愛嬌のあるガイドさんのガイドに歌や踊り。皆さんが終始楽しそうにしていました。次回は嫁とまた行きたいです。

I invited my mother to Okinawa for the first time.
Although I had visited this tourist spot many times before, thanks to our guide, we never felt bored during the travel time, and it was a very fulfilling trip.

My mother also mentioned at home how great the guide was, and she returned home the other day looking very happy and satisfied!
The driver was also very kind, and I was surprised that he greeted us every time we got out of the vehicle!
Thank you very much to our driver, Mr. Higashionna, and our guide, Mr. Higa!
Both my mother and I have become fans.
Thank you so much for a wonderful trip!

母を初めて沖縄に招待しました。
私は何度も行ったことのある観光地でしたが、
ガイドさんのおかげで移動時間も暇しなく
とても充実した旅でした。

母も家でもガイドさんが良かったと話をしていて、先日嬉しそうに満足そうに帰って行きました！
運転手さんもとても人が良く、降りるたびに毎回声がけをされていて驚きました！
運転手の東恩納さん、ガイドの比嘉さん、本当にありがとうございました！
母娘共々ファンになりました。
ステキな旅を本当に本当にありがとうございました！

The weather wasn't great, but I was able to take a round trip. I couldn't see Cape Hedo or Yoron Island, but it was still nice. Since it was my second time at the aquarium, I could take my time exploring. Especially in the later hours, when there were fewer people. It was a day filled with enjoyment.

お天気はいまひとつでしたが、ぐるっと一回りできました。辺戸岬も与論島は見えなかったけど、よかった。水族館は2度目だったのでゆっくり見れました。特に後半の時間が人がはけてて。たっぶり楽しめた1日でした。
