It was great to be able to efficiently get around and finally drop off at the airport. The downside is that the time to sightsee at each spot was too short. I wanted to take a closer look.
効率的に回れて、最後は空港でバスを降りれるのはとても良かったです。それそれのスポットで観光できる時間が少なすぎるのが難点です。もっとゆっくり見たかったです。

Considering the time allocated, I knew it would be somewhat hectic, but the travel time to the meeting point felt shorter than expected.
Especially at Okinawa World, there was a choice between experiencing the Eisa dance or the limestone caves, and I was a bit disappointed that the time distribution didn’t allow for both.
That said, I was very satisfied with the trip without a rental car, as I was able to enjoy sightseeing in the southern part of the island, even though I initially planned to stay only in Naha City. It was great to see the coastline and the typical Okinawan scenery along the way.
Since I participated in April for 1,400 yen, I’m deducting one star due to my disappointment.
時間の割には内容が盛りだくさんなので、多少慌ただしいのは承知でしたが、
集合場所までの所要時間を考えると、予想以上に短く感じました。
特におきなわワールドでは、エイサーか鍾乳洞かの選択が必要な滞在時間。
両方可能な時間配分だったら、もっと楽しめたのにと少し残念でした。
とはいえレンタカーなしの旅、那覇市内だけの予定が、南部観光もできて大満足。
道中では海岸線や沖縄らしい風景も見ることができて良かったです。
4月参加で1400円だったので、がっかりした分☆ひとつマイナスです。

You can explore the southern part of Okinawa from morning until noon. It's especially perfect for those who don't have much time. For those returning after lunch, you can also get dropped off at the airport, making it very convenient.
The only downside is that since this course covers so many places, the time spent at each location is short. Therefore, it may not be suitable for those who want to take their time exploring. In fact, I ended up revisiting the Peace Memorial Park the next day.
Also, it seems I had a great guide, as I was accompanied by an experienced one.
朝から昼までで、沖縄南部を見て回れる。特に時間の無い人にとってうってつけ。昼以降に帰る人も空港下車可能なので、使い勝手がいい。
唯一、これだけのコースを周るので、1か所毎の時間が短い。なので、じっくり見て周る人には不向きか。実際私は翌日にひめゆりの塔をリベンジした。
あと、ガイドさんが当たりだったみたいで、ベテランさんが付いていた。

I was told by a friend who loves Okinawa that when the sea is rough, the chances of encountering whales increase because they are active in the water. That was exactly the case; there were huge waves about 3 meters high, and we were able to see a mother and calf whale.
However, many people were vomiting. Those who are prone to seasickness might want to think twice about going.
海が荒れているときはクジラが海の中で運動しているから遭遇率は上がるって沖縄好きの友人に言われました。
まさにその通り、3mくらいの大波ですごい揺れでしたが母子クジラが見れました。
ただ人間は嘔吐多数でした。
船酔いの自身のない人は自重した方がいいかもしれません。

This was my first experience with whale watching. The day before, I received kind and detailed instructions about the meeting place over the phone, which made everything go smoothly.
Just to be safe, I took anti-nausea and motion sickness medication, and I was fully prepared for departure! The guide shared four methods to avoid getting seasick: 1) Look at distant, stationary objects like islands. 2) Don't yawn. 3) Talk a lot. 4) Sleep.
After practicing these tips, we arrived near the Kerama Islands in about an hour. Suddenly, the guide shouted loudly that a whale had been spotted, and there was applause and cheers. We chased after a solitary humpback whale, catching glimpses of its tail a few times, and even saw it jump at the end. However, it was a bit disappointing that everything was at a distance and lacked the thrill I had hoped for.
According to the guide, the weather was nice and the waves were calm today, yet nearly 20% of the participants still got seasick. I think those who are unsure should carefully consider whether to participate. I also got sunburned, and the marks from my watch were quite noticeable. Don't forget your sunscreen!
Despite that, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!
ホエールウォッチング初挑戦。前日に電話で親切、丁寧に集合場所を教えて頂いて、スムーズに行くことができました。
念のため、吐き気止め、酔い止めを服用し、準備万端、いざ出航!
ガイドさんから、酔わないための4つの方法がありました。①島などの遠くの動かないものを見る。②あくびをしない。③よくしゃべる。④寝る。
これらを実践しながら1時間ほどで慶良間諸島付近に到着。
しばらくすると突然ガイドさんが、大きな声でクジラ発見‼︎と吠え、拍手喝采。単独のザトウクジラを追いかけて、数回、尾を見て、最後にジャンプまで。しかしながら、どれも距離が遠く、迫力に欠けたのが残念でした。
ガイドさんいわく、今日は天気も良く、波も穏やか、と言いつつも、2割近くの方が酔っていました。自信のない方は、よく考えて参加を決めた方が良いと思います。日焼けもし、時計の痕がくっきり。日焼け止めも忘れずに!
それでも、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

I was able to see the whales clearly. I was satisfied to see their tails multiple times. However, the boat sways quite a bit, so I think it's important not to let your guard down just because you are used to motion sickness from regular cruises or sightseeing boats. If you participate, you should definitely take measures against seasickness. Especially on the return route after whale watching, you should not let your guard down.
By the way, it seems that there is no drink service on this tour, so I think it's better to bring your own drinks.
クジラはしっかりと見れました。何度も尻尾を見ることができ、満足できます。ただ、船は非常に揺れますので、「通常のクルーズや遊覧船で船酔いには慣れている」と思って油断するのは禁物だと思います。参加するならしっかりと船酔い対策はするべきです。特にクジラを鑑賞した帰りの航路で油断してはいけません。
ちなみに、このツアーには飲み物のサービスなるものはないようですので、飲み物を持参したほうがいいかと思います。

During the free time of the company trip, I used this tour for sightseeing. I had never been to the southern part before, so I enjoyed various experiences. The Sefa Utaki involves climbing a small mountain, which might be a bit tough for the elderly. Unfortunately, it was raining, and the ground was slippery, which made me a little nervous. However, upon arriving at the solemn space, I felt my heart being cleansed. The Gyokusendo Cave and the Himeyuri Monument were also great. The optional tours for the company trip were all quite expensive, and later, when discussing where we went with my colleagues, they envied me when I talked about this tour. I think it's rare to find a tour with this content at this price.
社員旅行の自由行動の時にこちらのツアーを利用して観光しました。
南部の方は行ったことがなかったのでいろいろ楽しめました。
斎場御嶽は小山を登るのでお年寄りとかにはちょっとキツいかもしれません。あいにく雨で足元が塗れていて滑るので少しドキドキしました。でも到着した厳かな空間には心洗われる気持ちになります。
玉泉洞もひめゆりの塔もよかったです。
社員旅行のオプショナルツアーはどれも高く、後で会社の人たちとどこに行ったかの話題になり、このツアーの話しをしたところ羨ましがられましたよ。
この内容でこの値段のツアーはなかなかないと思います。

I was a bit anxious because I easily get car sick, but I took motion sickness medication and was careful with breakfast, so I was able to enjoy the trip without feeling sick.
There were three whales: a mother and her two calves, and the baby whale was practicing jumping while the male whale performed dynamic jumps repeatedly, which was incredibly exciting! They were so close that I forgot to take out my camera.
I joined the tour at my request, and when I got home, my husband said, "I will never forget today," which made me very happy. I'm glad I participated.
車酔いしやすいので少し不安でしたが、酔い止めの薬を飲み朝ご飯も気をつけたので酔うことなく楽しめました。
母子と雄クジラの3頭がおり、赤ちゃんクジラが一生懸命ジャンプの練習、雄がダイナミックなジャンプを何度もしてその迫力に大興奮! あまりにも近くてカメラを構えるのを忘れてしまいました。
私の希望で参加したツアーでしたが、帰ってから旦那に「今日のことは一生忘れないだろう」と言われとても嬉しくなりました。参加してよかったです。

This is my fourth time in Okinawa, and I've visited many places besides the Sefa Utaki, but I always make sure to visit the Eisa show at Okinawa World and the Himeyuri Monument. I found this tour, which is reasonably priced and includes a guide's explanation, and decided to join.
The female guide was wonderful, her explanations were easy to understand, and she sang beautifully at the end. The half-day went by in no time.
I’m a woman, but I became a fan of this guide (laughs).
I participated alone, but there were also a few other solo travelers, as well as couples, families, and friends, so I think it’s suitable for any group type.
沖縄は4回目で、斎場御嶽以外は何度も来ていますが沖縄ワールドのエイサーショーとひめゆりの塔は必ず訪れる場所なのでガイドさんの説明も聞けて料金の手頃なこのツアーを見つけて参加しました。
沖縄美女のガイドさんがとても素敵で説明も聞きやすく最後に歌っていただいた歌もとても上手で、本当に半日があっという間でした。
私は女性ですが、このガイドさんのファンになりました(笑)。

I participated with my son. In the morning, at the meeting place, I was informed that our online reservation had been canceled, which was very unpleasant. Since it was said that we would be taking a boat that is strong against swaying, I let my son board without giving him motion sickness medication, and he ended up feeling quite seasick. However, he seemed very excited to encounter a whale. The staff were very refreshing and left a good impression, but my son experienced more seasickness on the way back. I would have appreciated it if there had been a note suggesting that those who are anxious should take medication, or if medication could be sold for a fee.
私は息子と参加させていただきました。
朝、集合場所にてインターネットでの申し込みがキャンセル扱いとのことで
非常に不愉快な思いもしました。
揺れに強い船で行くと言うことだったので息子に酔い止めの薬を
飲ませずに乗船させたところかなりの船酔いになり気分がすぐれなかったようです。

3. It was a long travel time of an hour and a half to see the whales, and then just over an hour on the way back. I couldn't sleep much and got quite tired.
As a result, I was satisfied because we were able to see a large whale right in front of us.

On the last day of my stay in Okinawa, it was quite a cooldown, making it difficult to plan a solid itinerary. However, this half-day tour exceeded my expectations, and the guide was very professional. Additionally, the participation fee includes transportation to the airport, so it might be a good option to be taken to the airport while sightseeing.
As a side note, regarding the World Heritage Site, Sefa Utaki, it was originally restricted to women, but now both men and women can enter. However, there are plans to revert to the original restriction, so it might be a good idea for men to visit while they still can.
沖縄滞在最終日は割とクールダウンというか、しっかりとした予定を組みにくいのですが、この半日ツアーはガイドさんもしっかりされていましたし、期待以上でした。また参加費も空港に行く移動費プラスαですから、観光がてら空港に送ってもらという手もアリではないのでしょうか。
余談ですが、世界遺産の斎場御嶽ですが、もともと女人禁制だったそうですが、今は解禁されていて、男性も入れます。ですが、元々の女人禁制に戻す案もあるようで、もしかしたら、男性は今のうちかもしれませんよ。

I participated on the last day of my trip. There were about 14 to 15 people on the tour that day, but aside from me and one other passenger, everyone else was male, which surprised me a bit. I specifically wanted to visit the Sefa Utaki and the Himeyuri Monument, so I chose this tour, and at just 900 yen, it felt like a great deal. The guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, which was very nice. Since it was an evening flight, I was dropped off at the airport on the way back. I had a very fulfilling half-day. If I could wish for anything, it would be that we only had about 30 minutes at the Himeyuri Monument, so I would have liked another 30 minutes to explore inside more leisurely.
旅行の最終日に参加しました。
当日は14~15名のツアーでしたが、私ともう一人の乗客、ガイドさんを除くと全て男性ばかりで少々びっくりしました。
私は特に斎場御獄とひめゆりの塔に行きたかったので、こちらのツアーを選んだのですが、これで900円とはお得感満載です。
ガイドさんの話も丁寧で聞き取り安くとても良かったです。夕方の便だったので帰りは空港で降ろして頂きました。
とても充実した半日を過ごす事ができました。欲を言えばひめゆりの塔での時間が30分程しかなく、ゆっくりと中を見学できなかったので、もうあと30分程欲しかったです。

Though I have visited Sefa-Utaki and the Himeyuri monument before, I decided to revisit them while listening to the explanation of the tour conductor. The fee for the tour was cheap at 900 Yen, so I was a bit skeptical about the quality when getting on the bus. After arriving at Sefa-Utaki we were asked about whether we wanted to visit Mibaru Beach or Okinawa World. I chose Okinawa World as I wanted to go to the Gyokusan Cave. Then we paid a visit to Himeyuri Tower then the airport, and finally ended at Palette Kumoji around 13:20.
As a number of people got off at the airport, I felt that many people participated in the tour before the they flew home.
Although had to get together kind of early in the morning and had to pay for the admission at each sightseeing spot, it was a good tour as we could around the sights efficiently.
Our guide this time joined the company in less than 1 year ago. She was so enthusiastic in her work. We felt her enthusiasm, which was contagious!
The price of the tour is cheaper than the bus that runs in the city, in fact it is an incredible deal. When you go sightseeing in southern Okinawa, I strongly recommend this half day tour.

My first trip to Okinawa. I was a bit anxious since I was participating alone.
I confirmed the meeting place the day before, so I arrived without any issues.
There were others participating alone as well, which made me feel more at ease.
We toured in a large vehicle, and there was plenty of space to sit comfortably. Since there were about 10 participants, it felt even more spacious.
The guide's explanations were clear, and I gained a good understanding of Okinawa's history.
I chose the Okinawa World course. I thought I could just catch the Eisa show in time, so I intentionally didn't buy an entrance ticket.
That was a great decision!!
While watching the show and buying souvenirs, I was almost late for the meeting time.
At the Himeyuri Monument, I couldn't help but shed tears at the horrors of war...
I got off at the airport, and the timing was just right for my flight, so I truly had a fulfilling half-day tour♪
While there are places that require entrance tickets, I still think it's cheaper than going around individually.
The guide's explanations were really good.
初めての沖縄旅行。一人で参加だったので少し不安がありました。
集合場所は前日に確認しておいたので問題なく間に合いました。
私の他にも一人で参加してる方がいたので、安心でした。
大型車での観光で車内もゆったり座れました。参加者が10人程だったのでなおさらですが。
ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく沖縄の歴史が分かりやすかったです。
コースではおきなわワールドを選択。時間的にエイサーショーだけ観れればと思い、あえて入場券は買いませんでした。
これが、大正解!!
ショーを観てお土産を買っていたら、集合時間ギリギリ。
ひめゆりの塔では、戦争の惨さに自然と涙がこぼれ…
空港での下車でしたが、フライト時間に丁度よく、本当に充実した半日観光が出来ました♪
入場券が必要な所もありますが、それでも個人で廻るより安いと思います。

I had previously visited Sefa Utaki and the Himeyuri Monument, but I decided to join the tour again to listen to the guide's explanations. The tour fee was only 900 yen, which seemed very cheap, so I boarded the bus with a bit of skepticism. After visiting Sefa Utaki first, we had the option to choose between New Hira Beach or Okinawa World, and since I wanted to see Gyokusendo Cave, I chose Okinawa World. Finally, we paid our respects at the Himeyuri Monument before stopping by the airport, and we disbanded around 1:20 PM in front of Palette Kumoji. Many people got off at the airport, so I got the impression that a lot of participants were joining to make use of their time before their flights on the last day of their trip.
The morning gathering was a bit early, and each person was responsible for their own entrance fees, but since we could efficiently visit places while listening to the guide's explanations, I think it was a very worthwhile tour. This time, the guide was in their first year of employment, but their enthusiasm was evident, and I found them very likable. The tour fee is even cheaper than taking a regular bus, which made me worry if it was really okay to charge this price. I highly recommend this half-day tour if you are sightseeing in the southern part of Okinawa.
斎場御嶽とひめゆりの塔は以前にも行った事がありましたが、ガイドさんの説明を聞きながらもう一度行こうと思い参加しました。ツアー代が900円と格安だった事もあり、少し半信半疑な気持ちでバスに乗り込みました。最初に斎場御嶽を訪れた後、新原ビーチかおきなわワールドを選択しますが、私は玉泉洞に行ってみたかったのでおきなわワールドを選択しました。そして最後にひめゆりの塔でお参りをしてから空港に立ち寄り、最終はパレット久茂地前で13時20分頃解散しました。空港で降りられた方が多かったので、旅行最終日のフライトまでの時間に参加される方が多い様な印象を受けました。
朝は少し早目の集合で各所の入場料は各自負担ですが、ガイドさんの説明を聞きながら時間も効率良く周れますので大変お得なツアーだと思います。今回は入社1年目のガイドさんでしたが、一生懸命さが伝わってきてとても好感が持てました。路線バスよりもツアー代の方が安いので、本当にこの料金で大丈夫なのか心配になるぐらいです。南部観光される時には、かなりお奨めの半日ツアーです。

I attended with my 3-year-old child, but since there were about 20 participants on the day, we were able to use the seating space widely, so there were no issues at all. We were able to efficiently visit World Heritage sites such as Sefa Utaki, Nihin Beach, and the Himeyuri Monument. On the bus, we listened to the guide's explanations about history, Okinawan folk songs, and stories about the lives of the Okinawan people, which were very informative. It takes about 7 to 8 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the entrance of Sefa Utaki, but even though it was early September, it was a very hot day, so it was a bit challenging. A hat or sun umbrella is essential.
3歳の子どもを連れての参加でしたが、当日は参加者が20名ほどだったこともあり、広く座席を使うことができたため、全く問題ありませんでした。
世界遺産の斎場御嶽、新原ビーチ、
ひめゆりの塔などを効率よく回ることができました。バス車内では、ガイドさんによる歴史の説明や沖縄の民謡、また沖縄の人々の生活についてのお話を聞くことができ、大変参考になりました。
世界遺産の斎場御嶽の入口までは駐車場から約7〜8分ほど歩きますが、9月上旬とはいえとても暑い日でしたので、少し大変でした。帽子または日傘必携です。

The weather was nice, but the sea was rough, like a roller coaster. There were small children on board, but they all got seasick. Since we boarded the boat after breakfast, motion sickness medication is a must. We were able to see the whales properly, but we returned to land early.
天気は良かったのですが、海が荒れててジェットコースターのようでした。小さな子供もいましたが船酔いで全滅でした。朝食後船に乗るので酔い止めは必須です。ホエールはちゃんと見ることができましたが早々に陸に切り上げとなりました。

The Palette Kumoji is spacious, so I wasted about 20 minutes not knowing where the meeting place was. When I informed the bus guide about this, it seemed that the map has become more detailed now, which is good. The tour itself was very good.
パレット久茂地が広いので待ち合わせ場所がよくわからず20分程時間を無駄にしました。バスガイドさんにその旨伝えたところ、現在は地図も詳しくなったみたいでよかったです。ツアー自体はとても良かったです。

The cost performance is excellent. For 900 yen, you can visit major spots in southern Okinawa, including Sefa Utaki, Okinawa World, and the Himeyuri Monument. If your flight departs in the afternoon, I think you can use your time efficiently. The bus guide provided great explanations, incorporating insights about the realities of Okinawa. I wish we had a bit more time at Okinawa World.
コストパーフォーマンスがよすぎです。
900円で斎場御嶽、おきなわワールド、ひめゆりの塔の沖縄南部主要スポットを回ってくれます。
飛行機の出発時間が午後の場合、時間を効率よく使えると思います。
バスガイドさんの解説もよく、沖縄の実情などを交えながら話してくれました。
おきなわワールドの時間がもう少しあればなあと思いました。

I was glad to find a tour that felt so worthwhile for the price. I recommend it for those who want to make the most of their time. I think it's a great tour for those planning to leave in the afternoon!
この値段で大丈夫なんでしょうか・・・?と思うくらい充実しているツアーで良かったです。
時間を有効に使いたい人には、お勧めです。午後に、帰る予定の人にはとても良いツアーだと思います!

Dear Izumi Kensei,
Thank you for using our services the other day!
How lucky to have your first experience be a jump! While you mentioned that it lacked impact, I think that distance might actually be good for the whales. Since they are wild animals, getting too close can cause them stress.
In order to continue whale watching in the future, we need to maintain a good relationship with them as well (^ - ^;).
Of course, there are days when the whales come incredibly close to the boat, which feels miraculous. So please do come back to Okinawa to see the whales again!
We sincerely look forward to your next visit, Izumi!
Best regards,
Mocchi, NEWS STAFF

先日はご利用ありがとうございます!
初挑戦でジャンプとはラッキーですね!
迫力に欠けるとの事ですがそのくらいの距離がクジラにとっても良いのかなと思います。
相手は野生動物なので近すぎると相手にもストレスになってしまいます。
これからもこの先もずっとホエールウォッチングを続けるためには僕らもうま~~~く付き合っていかないといけないんですね(^-^;)
もちろんものすごく近い日やクジラから船に近寄ってくる奇跡の日もございますので
是非ともまた沖縄に来た際はクジラを見に来てくださいね!
泉様のまたのお越しを心よりお待ちしております!!
