All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

We had a great time although the guide spoke only japanese (and the Bus video was in chinese).
The aquarium is just great, the other stops were nice but not too important ;)
If you are hungry westeners like us, bring something to eat (or buy at the aquarium cafe) because lunch will not fill your stomach.

For this price I can highly recommend the tour :)

My mother participated in a tour that included the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium for her first trip to Okinawa. She was of course moved by the aquarium, but she was also very happy with the butterflies at the Ryukyu Castle Butterfly Garden. The price was reasonable, and I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to the elderly.

母が初めての沖縄旅行のため、美ら海水族館があるツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館はもちろん感動してましたが、それ以外に琉球城蝶々園の蝶にとても喜んでました。
金額的にもお手頃で、子供からお年寄りまで楽しめるツアーと思います。

Everything went efficiently and smoothly. It was a great experience.

There were no stickers like those commonly found on group tours, and we received tickets at each location.

The free time was very short, so I wouldn't recommend it for families with small children or elderly people.

Since it was early March, the weather could be good or bad depending on the day. If it rains, the tour would be completely unenjoyable.

During the morning cruise on the Nakagawa River, it was cloudy and very cold, and even with multiple layers, it was tough.

In the afternoon, the cycling on Taketomi Island was under clear skies, and it was warm enough to wear a T-shirt and sandals.

効率よく、スムーズにいくことができました。いいとこどりです。
団体ツアーによくあるシールを貼ることもなく、行く場所でそれぞれチケットを切ってもらいます。
自由行動の時間はとても短く、ゆったりすることはできませんので小さなお子様連れの方やお年寄りにはおすすめできないと思います。
3月初旬ということもあり、天気次第で良くも悪くもなります。雨が降ったら楽しさは全くないツアーでしょう。
今回は、午前の仲間川クルージングは曇りでとても寒く、何枚も重ね着をしても辛かったです。
午後の竹富島サイクリングでは、快晴でＴシャツにサンダルでもいける天気でした。

This is a standard optional tour in Okinawa. I recommend it if you're visiting Okinawa for the first time. The aquarium is impressive and very enjoyable.

こちらは普通に沖縄の定番オプショナルツアーですね。初めて沖縄を訪問で有ればオススメです。水族館は見応え有りとても楽しいです

I was very satisfied with the tour that took us to major sightseeing spots like Manza Beach, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Among them, the kindness of the guide and the driver left a strong impression on me. Since we were staying at a hotel not in Naha City, we planned to leave at Nago Pineapple Park and head to our hotel from a nearby bus stop. However, the guide and driver kindly researched a closer bus stop for us and offered to take us there since we would pass by it on our way back. It was a tour that moved me with the stunning views of Okinawa and the warmth of its people. Thank you very much.

万座毛、古宇利島、美ら海水族館など主要の観光地を巡れるツアーで、とても大満足でした。中でも、ガイドさんとドライバーの方の優しさがとても印象的でした。私達は、那覇市内でないホテルに宿泊する為、ナゴパイナップルで離脱し、その付近のバス停からホテルへ向う予定でしたが、ガイドさんとドライバーの方が、より近いバス停をわざわざ調べて下さり、帰路にそのバス停を通るから、と親切に送って下さいました。沖縄の絶景と人の温かさに感動したツアーでした。本当に有難うございました。

I was picked up right from my hotel and dropped there back on time. It was a hassle free experience where we did not need to worry about ticket purchase and transportation. It covers a about 4-5 different places but the highlight for us was the dolphin show near Churaumi aquarium. Do not miss it!

The only downside was that though there was a tour guide in the bus, she barely spoke any english. But she gave us an audio guide with commentary in english.

Overall, I did not feel rushed at any of the tourist spots and felt that we made good use of our time. I highly recommend this tour.

I participated with three friends. There were only a few Japanese people, including us. The guide was also a foreigner. The tour was conducted in both English and Japanese, and key points were covered with guide tour earphones. I appreciated the straightforward guidance without too much interference. Thank you, Dominic. Since there were many foreigners, I was slightly worried about whether we could stick to the schedule, but there was no need for concern.

友人3人で参加しました。日本人は私達を含めても数人。ガイドも外国人でした。英語と日本語でのガイドで要所はガイドツアーイヤホンでした。あっさりとしたガイドで干渉されないところが良かったです。ドミニクさんありがとうございました。外国人が多いので時間どおり工程をこなせるか、若干心配でしたが、心配無用でした。

For a first-time visitor to Okinawa like myself, this was a fun choice. At the aquarium I saw the dolphin show and took part in the deep sea experience, so was running around a bit but was pleased. I wasn't expecting much from the soba lunch, but it was tasty.

<Translated by Veltra.com>

Great price for tour with four stops. Realize pressed for time so stop at glass factory really short. Free soba lunch was a nice bonus. Only major complaint was couldn't get recorded tour to work and couldn't hear commentary over PA system.

I participated with my 6-year-old child. I wanted to visit Kouri Island and Churaumi Aquarium even though I don't have a driver's license, and I found this tour while searching. On the day of the tour, we encountered beautiful seas and scenery with some sunny moments. On the bus, we were entertained by the guide's charming performances and wonderful songs, which kept us engaged. Lastly, we stopped at Ryukyu Village, which was close to our accommodation. Although we parted ways partway through, thank you for seeing us off so kindly until the end.

6歳の子供と2人で参加しました
免許がないけど古宇利島も美ら海もいきたいと探した所このツアーを見つけました
当日は晴れ間もあり綺麗な海と景色に出会えました
バスの中ではガイドさんの可愛らしいパフォーマンスや素敵な歌で飽きませんでした
最後に寄った琉球村が宿泊先から近く途中で離団しましたが最後まで快く見送ってくださりありがとうございました

I participated in mid-January. It was my first trip to the Okinawa islands, but unfortunately, January is the rainy season, so there was strong wind and rain, and I couldn't do much sightseeing on the island. However, since the water buffalo loves water as its name suggests, this tour turned out to be a great memory. I would like to visit again on a sunny day next time!

1月の半ばに参加させて頂きました。
初めての沖縄離島旅行でしたが、残念ながら1月は雨季ということで雨風が強く、島内の観光はほとんど出来ませんでした。
ですが、水牛はその名の通り水が大好きだということで、こちらのツアーは行ってみて良い思い出になりました。
今度は晴れた日にまた改めて行ってみたいです！

The water buffalo was interesting. Taking it easy at my own pace was quite fun. It felt amusing, as if humans were being led around. The sanshin was also very enjoyable.

水牛が、面白かったです。のんびりと自分のペースでいくのが、けっこうおもしろいです。
人間が振り回されているようで、愉快でした。また三線も、とても楽しかったです。

It was a very fulfilling and amazing trip! My main destination was the Churaumi Aquarium, but the other stops were also interesting. The itinerary was packed, and I enjoyed the tour guide's stories during the bus rides!

とても充実していて、最高の旅になりました！
お目当ては美ら海水族館だったのですが、他の立寄りスポットも面白かったです。
盛りだくさんな内容で、バス移動中の添乗員さんのお話も楽しめました！

We wanted a nice day out with our (now) 4 year old to celebrate her birthday. Since it was our first trip to Okinawa we decided to hire a car rather than rent a car to ensure the day out went as smoothly as possible. Our driver arrived a few minutes before hand and helped us load all of our gear and get our daughter's car seat installed properly. She spoken English well and knew the areas where we had decided to visit for the day (Butterfly Garden & Churaumi Aquarium). Everything went great and everyone well enjoyed the trip.

The day I participated was fully booked, and I shared a table with others. Most of the participants were foreigners, and it felt like I was abroad. Unfortunately, the audio guidance was choppy and hard to hear. Overall, I was satisfied with the tour.

私が参加した日は満席で他の方と相席になりました。参加者はほとんど外国人で、まるで海外に来ている気分でした。音声ガイダンスは音声が途切れ途切れであまり聞き取れなかったのが残念でした。ツアー自体は満足です。

It seems that my 3-year-old was bored, but the adults enjoyed it! The schedule was quite tight, and there didn't seem to be any time for bathroom breaks.

３歳の我が子には退屈だったようですが、大人は楽しめました！
結構なタイムスケジュールで途中トイレに行く時間も無い感じです。

Since I can't drive, I used this tour that picks you up from the hotel. The time spent at the aquarium was long enough that I could see the dolphin show, and I was able to take my time exploring the exhibits, which was great. To be honest, I didn't think the pineapple park was necessary.

車の運転ができないため、ホテルでピックアップしてくれるこちらのツアーを利用しました。水族館の滞在時間が長いので、イルカのショーも見られたし、館内もわりとゆっくり見て回れたので良かったです。正直なところ、パイナップルパークはなくてもよかったです。

The guide's singing voice was beautiful. I think if we could extend our stay at the main event, the aquarium, by about 30 more minutes, we would be able to enjoy the sightseeing more comfortably.

ガイドさんの歌声は綺麗でした。メインイベントの水族館での滞在時間を もう30分程度でも伸ばしてもらえると落ち着いて観光できると思います。

This was my second visit to Taketomi Island, while it was the first for the other two. After a relaxing water buffalo tour, we strolled around. I considered renting a bike, but I gave up because the weather forecast predicted rain. In the end, it turned out to be really sunny, but we were able to walk to a nearby beach, see the beautiful ocean, and enjoy delicious soki soba, which made me very satisfied. We also managed to catch a boat back at a good time, so we had a perfect day!

私は二回目2人は初めての竹富島。水牛ツアーでまったりしたあと、歩いて散策。レンタサイクル悩みましたが、天気予報が雨で断念。結局めちゃ晴れたのですが、ちかい海岸までは歩けたので、綺麗な海もみれて、美味しいソーキソバもたべて、大満足でしたね。
帰りの船もいい時間に取れて、完璧な時間が過ごせました！

I participated in a three-island tour with three classmates. It was disappointing that we couldn't go upstream because the Nakama River was at low tide. I thought it would be even better if we could be flexible, like going to Yufu Island first during low tide! Overall, I was satisfied as we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.

同級生４人で３島巡りに参加しました。
仲間川が干潮時だったので、上流まで行けなかった事が残念でした。干潮時には由布島に先に行くとかの融通が出来ると、更に良いのになぁ！と、思いました。
全体的には、のりびりと出来ましたので満足でした。

The audio guide tour is available in eight languages, so most participants are Chinese. A Japanese guide accompanies the group and instructs when to turn the audio guide on or off.

The tour visits Manzamo, Kouri Ohashi Bridge, Churaumi Aquarium, and Nago Pineapple Park in that order. Manzamo is very windy. On the day I participated, there was a storm, making sightseeing impossible. Kouri Ohashi Bridge does not have a tower to visit. I believe it would be very beautiful if the weather were clear. Churaumi Aquarium has many highlights, and we stay for three hours, which still feels a bit short. I don't feel a particular need to visit Pineapple Park, but there is an all-you-can-eat pineapple option.

It's a shame that the guide is audio-only, but I think this is the best course for a bus tour heading to the Churaumi area.

8か国語のオーディオガイドツアーなので、ほとんどの参加者が中国人です。
一応、日本人のガイドさんが同乗し、ガイドさんの指示するタイミングでオーディオガイドをつけたり、消したりします。

ツアーは万座毛、古宇利大橋、美ら海水族館、ナゴパイナップルパークの順番でまわります。
万座毛はとても風が強いです。私が参加した日は暴風雨で観光どころではありませんでした。
古宇利大橋はタワーには行きません。晴れてれば大変きれいだと思います。
美ら海水族館は見どころが多く、3時間滞在しますがそれでも少し足りないくらいです。
パイナップルパークは特に行く必要を感じませんが、パイナップル食べ放題です。

ガイドがオーディオのみなのは残念ですが、美ら海方面に行くバスツアーでは、一番いいコースだと思います。

It was great to efficiently visit places that are hard to reach individually, all at a reasonable price, and to have a fulfilling day. If you take a lunch break, the time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium can feel a bit tight, but if you adjust your lunch time, you can see everything comfortably. The experience at Ryukyu Village was also nice. There was a service for brown sugar, making it a pleasant bus tour.

個人ではなかなか周れない場所を効率よく周れて、お得な値段で、充実した一日を過ごせてとても良かったです。昼食時間をとると、美ら海水族館での滞在時間が少しきつくなりますが、自分で昼食時間を調整すれば、充分見て周れます。琉球村の体験も良かったです。黒糖のサービスもあって、快適なバスツアーでした。

Manza Beach, Kouri Island, Churaumi Aquarium, Pineapple Park!
It was a very satisfying tour.
I'm not good at writing, so I want to convey the fun through photos.

It might be the same for both tours and personal trips, but it's a shame that I couldn't see everything I wanted to.
However, the schedule for the tour was perfect.

I really appreciated the bus guide occasionally collecting trash.

万座毛、古宇利島、美ら海水族館、パイナップルパーク！
大満足のツアーでした。
文章書くのが苦手なので、写真で楽しさを伝えたいです。

ツアーでも個人でも同じかもしれませんが、見たいところ全部見きれなかったのが残念です。
でもツアーとしては完璧な時間割でした。

バスガイドさんが時々ゴミを回収して下さるのがとてもとても助かりました。

Very helpful tour guide. We were able to enjoy the whole trip from beginning to end although we did not speak Japanese.

I was happy to meet the whale shark. I was able to visit all the tourist spots I wanted to go to. The bus guide was very kind, which made me feel at ease while sightseeing. I'm glad I signed up for this. Thank you very much.

ジンベイザメに会えて嬉しかったです。
行きたかった観光場所にすべて行くことができました。バスガイドさんもかなり親切な方で安心して観光することが出来ました。今回申し込んで良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Everything was arranged efficiently, and there was nothing to worry about. I didn't have high expectations for the glass boat (actually, I had been diving the day before), but I was impressed by the beautiful coral at the site. The water buffalo cart was unexpectedly enjoyable, and the relaxing time swaying was wonderful. I was also surprised by the intelligence of the water buffalo. For us, who had only a short time before our return flight, the bus tour was great as it took us to wonderful places in a short amount of time.

すべて手際よく手配されており、心配なことは何もありませんでした。グラスボートはあまり期待はしていなかったのですが（実はその前の日にダイビングしていたので）、サンゴが非常に美しいポイントで感動しました。水牛車も思いのほか楽しくのんびりとゆられる時間が素敵でした。また水牛の賢さにも驚きました。帰りの飛行機まで短時間しかなかった私たちにはバス観光も短時間で素晴らしい場所に連れて行っていただきよかったです。

I wanted to participate in the bus tour that allows the longest stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, so I signed up for this tour. The timing was perfect! I had a fantastic time at the aquarium! I received souvenirs at both Pineapple Park and the Glass Museum, which made me feel like I really got my money's worth.

The tour itself was definitely five stars in satisfaction, but I was particularly moved by the tour guide's thoughtfulness on the way back!

When I made the reservation, I requested to be dropped off at a station along the Yui Rail line after the tour, as I wanted to head to the airport on my last day in Okinawa. On the bus ride back, without me even asking, the guide kindly checked in with me, saying, "What time is your flight?" and "At this pace, I think you'll arrive around that time, so you should be fine."

Additionally, as the bus was moving, the guide came to my seat to inform me where we were and how many minutes we had left, providing us with a lot of information to ease our worries since we weren't familiar with the area.

Thanks to this, I made it to my flight without any stress, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable tour.

I am truly grateful to the tour guide from that time. I highly recommend this tour!

美ら海水族館に一番長く滞在するバスツアーに参加したかったので、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
時間もバッチリ！大満喫した水族館でした！
パイナップルパーク、ガラス館でそれぞれお土産をいただき、とーっても得した気分でした。


ツアー自体、もちろん五つ星の満足度だったのですが、
最後の帰り道、添乗員さんのお気遣いに感動しました！

予約時に、沖縄最終日のためツアー終了後空港に向かいたいので、どこかゆいレール沿いの駅で降ろしていただきたいというわがままをお願いしていました。
帰路に着くのバスの中で、こちらから聞いていないのにご丁寧に「飛行機の時間は何時でしょうか？」「この調子だと、何時頃に着くはずなので大丈夫だと思いますよ」と安心させていただきました。
加えてバスが走るごとに「今どのへんなので、あと何分くらいです」とわざわざ席まで伝えに来てくださるなど、
土地勘のない私たちを安心させようと、たくさん情報をくださいました。

おかげさまで飛行機にはもちろん間に合い、
帰り道ハラハラ感も全くなく、
楽しい楽しいツアーとなりました。

あの時の添乗員さんには、本当に感謝しています。
本当にオススメのツアーです！

The Taketomi Island tour was amazing!! The staff were kind! The content was fulfilling and I highly recommend it! My 90-year-old grandmother also enjoyed it. I would like to use it again.

竹富島ツアー最高でした！！
スタッフの方も親切でした！
内容も充実していてオススメです！
90歳の祖母も楽しめました。
また、利用したいです。

Previously, when I participated in a sightseeing bus tour in Ishigaki Island, I had a great time, so this time I decided to join alone. However, even though it was called sightseeing, it was just a bus taking us to various points. The tour guide's commentary was only coming through the earphones. I had no idea what the bus guide was doing. I felt like it would have been better to drive myself. It was disappointing that going to a completely unfamiliar place and listening to the local bus guide's stories and songs made for a boring day of travel.

以前、石垣島で観光バスツアーに参加した時、とても楽しかったので、今回もひとりで参加してみました。しかし、観光といってもただバスでポイントに連れて行ってくれるだけ。
観光ガイドはイヤホンから流れているだけ。バスガイドは何をしていたのかさっぱりわかりませんでした。これなら自分でドライブに行った方がマシのような気がしました。全然知らない土地に行って地元のバスガイドの話や歌などを聞いて旅行の予定がつまらない1日になってしまい残念です。

During the mangrove cruising on Nakama River, we suddenly encountered a heavy rainstorm, but we enjoyed a real jungle cruise! Since our child is small, we chose the glass-bottom boat, which meant we only had 15 minutes for sightseeing on Taketomi Island, which was a bit disappointing, but everything else was really enjoyable!

仲間川のマングローブのクルージングで途中、急に豪雨になりましたがリアルジャングルクルーズを楽しみました！！
子供が小さいのでグラスボートを選んだことで、竹富島の観光が15分しかなかったのが残念でしたがそれ以外はすごく満喫できました！！
