All Reviews for 沖繩活動

This was my first trip to Okinawa. It was a journey with my three daughters, but since I'm a paper driver, I didn't have the courage to rent a car (laughs), so I thought I wouldn't be able to do any sightseeing that required traveling far... Just when I was about to give up, I found this bus tour.

Of course, I wanted to visit the famous Churaumi Aquarium, and for some reason, my youngest really wanted to go to Pineapple Park! So, I was satisfied just to find a tour that could accommodate both of those wishes.

On the day of the tour, we started from Kencho-mae, and as we picked up participants from various hotels, the seats gradually filled up, and by the end, it was almost full, which shows how popular this tour is. At Manzamo, there was a surprising strong wind that blew my daughter's hat away (tears), but we were deeply moved by the ocean blue of Kouri Island, and we even saw sea turtles from the bus window.

Light snacks were distributed on the bus, and I thought they would be cheap sandwiches like the typical ones... but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the sandwiches were! Eating those sandwiches under the blue sea and sky of Kouri Island became an unforgettable experience. Pineapple Park was also quite enjoyable (laughs).

The Churaumi Aquarium was impressive with the whale sharks, and I was moved by the quality of the dolphin show. I couldn't buy the purple sweet potato tart at the snack castle because it was sold out, but I ended up spending quite a bit.

On the way back, instead of returning to Naha, we were dropped off in Chatan, and although it was outside the tour, we were able to enjoy American Village as well! I was able to experience a full day of classic Okinawa sightseeing, and for this price, I am truly satisfied!!! I highly recommend it to first-time visitors to Okinawa!!!

初の沖縄旅行でした。
私と娘3人での旅だったのですが、私がペーパードライバーなためレンタカーを借りる勇気が持てず(笑)、遠方に足を運ぶような観光はできないよな…と諦めていたところ、こちらのバスツアーがヒットしました。
やはり王道の美ら海水族館は行きたい、そしてなぜか末っ子がどうしてもパイナップルパークに行きたい！とのことで(笑)、その2つが叶うところが見つかりまずはその時点で満足。
ツアー当日、私達は県庁前からスタートしたのですが、いろいろなホテルに泊まっている方をピックアップしながら徐々に参加者で座席が埋まっていき、最終的にはほぼ満席になっていたのでやはり人気なツアーなんだと。
万座毛ではすごい強風で娘の帽子が飛ばされるというハプニングもあり（涙）、古宇利島のオーシャンブルーに大感動、車窓からウミガメも見えました。
車内で軽食が配布されたのですが、どうぜTheサンドイッチみたいなチープな感じのものが配られるんでしょ…と思いきや、期待を良い意味で裏切られた美味しいサンドイッチでした！
古宇利島の青い海、青い空のもと食べたサンドイッチ…忘れられないものとなりました。
パイナップルパークもそれなりに(笑)。
美ら海水族館は圧巻のジンベエザメと、イルカショーのクオリティに感動。
お菓子御殿では紅芋タルトが完売で購入できなかったのですが、散財してしまいました。
帰りは那覇まで戻らず、途中の北谷で降ろしていただき、ツアー外ですがアメリカンビレッジも楽しむことができました！
まる一日、沖縄観光の王道を体験することができ、これでこのお値段は本当に大満足です！！！
沖縄初めての方にオススメします！！！

Churaumi Aquarium was impressive and very good. There were many tourists with children during spring break, and there were some exhibits that were hard to get close to, so I would like to visit again on another occasion. There were foreign participants in the tour, but the explanations regarding the return time to the bus and ticket distribution were only in difficult-to-understand Japanese and English, which seemed to confuse them. I felt that it would be better to distribute tour explanation materials in Chinese and English. It seemed like the tour guide was using materials created in 2021 without updating them, which made it feel like they were not taking the tourists seriously.

美ら海水族館は見応え有り大変良かったです。春休みで子供さん連れの観光客が多く、近寄れない展示があったのでまた別の機会に訪問したいです。ツアーには外国人の方が
参加されていたのですが、バスに戻る時間やチケット配布方法等か日本語と理解の難しい英語のみの説明で、戸惑っておられて気の毒でした。中国語や英語でのツアー説明資料を配布すれば良いのにと感じました。観光ガイドが恐らく21年に作成したものを更新せずに使っていた為、観光客を軽くあしらっている様に感じました。

This tour is packed with the charm of three remote islands. Before participating, I thought the one-hour mangrove cruise might be long, but the guide's explanations were fascinating, making it just the right length. The stories from the bus driver guide on the way to Yubu Island and the staff accompanying us on the water buffalo cart were great insights that I wouldn't have known if I had gone on my own. The lunch on Yubu Island was a delicious bento that was already prepared, so there was zero waiting time. On Taketomi Island, I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go—Nishi Sanchu, Kondoi Beach, and Kaiji Beach—by renting a bicycle. I leisurely rode around, but I ended up getting a bit lost and didn't have time to explore the town center (laughs). So, next time, I would like to stay on Taketomi Island.

離島３島の魅力がギュッと詰まったツアーです。
参加前は１時間のマングローブ遊覧は長いのではないかと思っていましたが、ガイドさんの説明が興味深く、ちょうど良い長さでした。
由布島へ向かう際のバスのドライバーガイドさんや水牛車い同乗のスタッフさんのお話も、個人で行っていたら知り得ない良いお話でした。
由布島での昼食も美味しいお弁当がすでに用意されていて、待ち時間ゼロでした。
竹富島ではレンタサイクルで、行きたかった西桟橋、コンドイ浜、カイジ浜すべてに行くことができました。自転車でのんびりまわり、また少々道に迷ってしまい島の中心地を散策する時間がなくなってしまいました（笑）。ですので次回は竹富島に宿泊したいと思います。

This time, I participated in a day trip tour of Iriomote, Yufu, and Taketomi Islands (glass boat and water buffalo cart plan).
First of all, it was really fun! (It was my first time participating.)
I had a lot of worries before joining, but on the day of the tour, staff were waiting at each location, providing thorough explanations, which made me feel at ease.
Even pregnant women could participate.
I definitely recommend you to join!

今回、西表•由布•竹富島 日帰りツアー(グラスボートと水牛車プラン)に参加しました。
まず感想として、すっごく楽しかったです。(初参加)
参加前は不安が多かったですが、当日は各地点にスタッフが待ち、しっかりした説明があり安心でした。
妊婦の方でも参加できました。
ぜひ参加してみてください。

You can see other islands from the boat even as far as Iriomote Island. The water buffalo are really cute! There was plenty of free time on Yubu Island, and I was able to circle the island. The gelato on the island was also delicious. The mangroves I saw for the first time were lovely! Since it was a half-day tour, I was able to leisurely explore Ishigaki Island afterward. The hotel shuttle service was also helpful.

西表島までも船から他の島も見えます。水牛が本当に可愛い！由布島での自由時間も十分にあり島一周出来ました。島内でのジェラートも美味しかった。初めて見たマングローブも素敵！
半日なのでツアー後も石垣島をゆっくり観光できました。ホテルの送迎も助かりました。

It's been a few years since I visited Miyako Island. I heard from a friend who used this service that it was very good, so I decided to give it a try. I was worried about various things, like the risk of my 4-year-old and 8-year-old falling into the water, but the staff were incredibly kind and supportive, so I was able to participate without any anxiety. I've done many activities during my trip to Okinawa, but I haven't encountered such kind and attentive staff anywhere else. I quickly sent the drone footage to my family, and everyone was moved by it. I'm very satisfied!

数年ぶりの宮古島。
こちらを利用した友人が、とても良かったとの話を聞き利用させて頂きました。
子供4歳、8歳連れの為、落水の恐れはないか等色々心配でしたが、スタッフの方がとても優しくフォローして下さり、不安は全くなく参加出来ました。
沖縄旅行で数々のアクティビティをしてきましたが、スタッフさんがこんなに親切丁寧な所はなかったです。
ドローンでの撮影は、すぐに家族に送りましたが皆感動してました。
大満足！

The explanation was very thorough. They covered delicious taco places and the desired locations well. I will definitely use their services again if the opportunity arises.

とても丁寧に説明していただきました。
美味しいタコスのお店や希望の場所もしっかり網羅できました。
また機会があれば是非利用します。

It was convenient that there was a shuttle service to the hotel since I was traveling with children. The tour mixed customers who booked directly with those from major travel agencies, but we were able to participate without confusion thanks to color-coded stickers. I was worried about getting seasick during the nearly one-hour boat ride from Ishigaki to Iriomote Island, but there were designated seats for those prone to motion sickness, and I managed to avoid feeling sick. We could also choose the bus time back to the hotel, which felt like a free plan with transportation and meals included. I enjoyed the stories from the bus driver and guide, as well as the boatman during the mangrove tour.

The only downside was that the shuttle service from the hotel to the port was quite careless; mispronouncing names was common, the driving was rough like being in a local acquaintance's car, and during the pickup, they almost left without confirming the customers. It felt a bit off.

子連れで参加したので、ホテルまで送迎があったのは楽でした。
ツアーは、直接申し込んだお客さんと大手旅行会社のツアーのお客さんと混載でしたが、色分けしたシールなどで間違う事なく参加できました。
石垣から西表島までの1時間弱の船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いしやすい人向けのシートなども示してあって酔わずに終われました。
帰りのホテルまでのバスの時間も選べて、フリープランに移動と食事のついたイメージです。
バスの運転手さん兼ガイドさんや、マングローブ下りの船頭さんのお話など楽しく過ごせました。
一点だけ残念だったのは、ホテルから港までの送迎がかなり雑で、名前の読み間違えは当たり前、運転も地元の知り合いの車に乗せられたような荒さ、行きのピックアップではお客さんを確認せずに出発しようとしたり、ちょっと…な感じでした。

In mid-March, I participated with my family of four (my spouse, a 3-year-old, and a 0-year-old). On the way there, my wife and child got seasick due to the unexpectedly high waves and rocking of the boat, but we were able to refresh both our minds and bodies during our break and beach stroll on Tokashiki Island. The beach was beautiful and felt great.

During the whale watching, with the guidance of our guide and captain, we were able to see whales multiple times! (They mentioned that there were more sightings than usual.) It was an exhilarating moment that made us forget about the seasickness.

I recommend that those who are not good with vehicles or have little experience on small boats take motion sickness medication in advance.

3月中旬に家族4名（夫婦＋3歳・0歳）で参加しました。
往路では想定以上の波の高さ・揺れに妻と子が船酔いしてしまいましたが、渡嘉敷島での休憩兼ビーチ散策で心も体もリフレッシュできました。ビーチは綺麗で気持ちよかったです。
ホエールウォッチングではガイドさん・船長さんの案内の元、何度もクジラの姿を見ることができました！（いつもより多めにでてきてくれたとのこと）
船酔いも忘れて大興奮のひと時でした。
乗り物が苦手な方、小型船の経験が少ない方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

I was able to watch the sunset while kayaking.
The meeting place was convenient as it showed up on Google Maps!
I recommend bringing or wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet and that allow for easy movement.
Even beginners were able to ride the kayak! It was a very beautiful sunset and a great experience (＾ν＾).

カヤックになって夕日を見ることができた。
集合場所はGoogleマップで出てくるため便利だった！
濡れてもいい、動きやすい服装を持参、または着て行くことをおすすめします。
初心者でもカヤックに乗ることができました！とても綺麗な夕日でいい体験になりました（＾ν＾）

The ox cart in Taketomi Town was quite busy, so I should have chosen the bus tour, but overall, the weather was nice and it was a good trip.

竹富町の牛車が慌ただしかったので、バス観光を選択するべきだったが、全体的には天気も良くいい旅でした。

The bus roll call on Taketomi Island was the worst! I almost got left behind! I managed to catch the last boat, but...

After that, it was the best memory.

竹富島のバスの点呼が最悪！
置いて行かれる始末！
なんとか最終の船に間に合ったけど…

後は最高の思い出です。

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was very delicious. The sunset from the deck was beautiful, and I was satisfied. The foreign staff were all working hard, which felt nice. I have reservations for this month's couple trip and next month's business trip as well.

あまり料理は期待していなかったですが、とても美味しかったです。デッキからの夕陽も綺麗で満足できました。外国人スタッフもみなさん頑張っていて気持ち良かったです。今月の夫婦旅も来月の仕事旅にも予約しています。

We were able to efficiently visit three islands. My grandchildren were very happy. It would have been nice to have a bit more time to explore Yufu Island and Taketomi Island.

効率よく3島巡りができました。
孫たちも大変喜んでいました。
由布島　竹富島もう少し観光する時間があったら良かったです

I chose this course because I thought the Submarine Jr. II was attractive. I was impressed to see the beautiful fish in Okinawa's clear waters from the semi-submersible. I was also happy to visit famous tourist spots like the Fukugi Tree Lined Road and the Churaumi Aquarium. The tour guide was kind, and it turned out to be a fun trip.

サブマリンjrⅡが魅力的だと思いこちらのコースにしました。
半潜水艦艦で沖縄の綺麗な海の魚たちをみることができて感動しました。
他にもフクギ並木や美ら海水族館など、有名な観光地を回ることができて嬉しかったです。添乗員さんも親切で、楽しい旅行になりました。

It was cloudy, but we were able to take a sightseeing boat and see the fantastical underwater world! The lunch was a delicious grilled meat set meal, just like in the pictures! A children's lunch was provided for toddlers.

At Churaumi Aquarium, we missed the dolphin show because the timing didn't work out. We went to the aquarium first, but we couldn't make it to the dolphin show in time. However, we still enjoyed the aquarium.

The journey from the aquarium to Chatan was delayed due to highway construction, taking two hours instead of one.

The first hour after arriving in Chatan was really not enough time. The restroom was extremely crowded, and after having a light snack, an hour passed in no time.

I had some concerns after reading reviews, but it turned out to be a wonderful day. It's essential for children to take motion sickness medication.

曇りでしたが、なんとか遊覧船にも乗ることができ、幻想的な海の中を見ることができました！！
お昼ご飯も写真通りの焼肉定食で美味しかったです！
幼児はお子様ランチが提供されていました。

ちゅら水族館は、イルカショーが時間的に合わなくて、水族館を見るかイルカショーを見るかで水族館を先に行ったらやはり、イルカショーには間に合いませんでした。でも、水族館だけでも楽しめました。
水族館からの北谷の道のりは
高速道路の工事で渋滞。1時間で行けるとこを2時間かかりました。


北谷についてからの1時間は本当に時間が足りません。
トイレも激込みで軽食をとったらあっという間に1時間たちました。

口コミを見て不安なこともありましたが、とても素敵な1日になりました。
お子様は酔い止め必須です。

I received polite answers to my questions before applying, which made me feel at ease about participating. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but the veteran guide from my hometown was great at explaining things, and our conversations were enjoyable. I was able to see plenty of fish up close. Every time I look at the photos I received on the way back, I remember the experience. I hope that next time I can finally go to the Blue Cave!

申し込み前の質問にも丁寧な回答をして頂き安心して参加出来ました。
　あいにくお天気悪く青の洞窟には行けなかったのですが同郷のベテランのガイドさんで説明も上手、お話しも楽しくお魚もいっぱい近くで見れました。
　帰りに頂いた写真を見る度に思い出しています。
　次回は今度こそ青の洞窟行けますように❗️

They took a lot of wonderful photos.
I appreciate their kind service.
I encourage everyone to make a reservation with confidence.

素敵な写真をいっぱい撮ってくれました。
ご対応が親切で、感謝しております。
皆さんに安心して、ご予約ください。

The tickets from Veltra were very convenient as they could be used immediately after purchase.

The aquarium is located in a corner of the shopping mall. I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into it, but personally, I found it quite stressful.

What was particularly disappointing was the almost complete lack of explanations for the exhibits. I think it would be fine for those who can enjoy the atmosphere, but I was left feeling frustrated not knowing the names of the displayed fish or where they typically live. The app that I had downloaded in advance, which was supposed to be my lifeline, was also unusable due to issues with the Android version... There was a sign saying, "For any questions, please ask a nearby staff member," but I had so many questions.

The animals in an environment without sunlight reminded me of the sadness I felt at Oby Yokohama.

In the touch area with the fish, you can touch fish and starfish. Everyone was aiming for the big sharks, so the sharks resisted fiercely even when you just tried to touch them a little. I started to worry about how stress management was being handled, as there were few places for them to escape.

ベルトラのチケットは、購入後すぐに使えてとても便利でした。

ショッピングモールの一角にある水族館。様々な工夫をこらしているのはわかるのですが、個人的には結構ストレスがたまりました。

特に残念だったのは、展示物の説明が現地にほぼないこと。雰囲気で楽しめる人は問題ないと思いますが、展示されてる魚は何という名前なのか、本来どんな場所にいるのか、全然わからずモヤモヤしました。あらかじめダウンロードして行った頼みの綱であるはずのアプリも、Android版は不都合が出ているとのことで使えず…。「ご不明点、ご質問はお近くのスタッフに」と貼紙がありますが、ご不明点だらけでした。

陽の光が当たらない環境にいる動物たち。オービィ横浜でも感じた切なさを思い出しました。

魚とのふれあいコーナーでは、魚やヒトデなどに触ることができます。みんなが大物のサメを狙うので、サメはちょっと触ろうとするだけで激しく抵抗。逃げ場も少なく、ストレス対策とかどうなっているんだろうと心配になりました。

I was worried because the weather hadn't been great until the day before, but we set sail safely. Just as advertised, the catamaran didn't rock too much, and we arrived at the viewing spot without any issues. We encountered a mother and baby whale; we could clearly see the baby whale spouting and the mother whale's impressive dive with her tail fin. It was really wonderful.

前日まであまりお天気が良くなかったので心配でしたが無事に出航。宣伝文句通りカタマランの船体はあまり大きな揺れはなく無事にご対面スポットに到着。くじらの親子に遭遇　赤ちゃんくじらの潮吹きとお母さん⁈くじらの豪快なダイブでの尾鰭がしっかり見えました。とても良かったです

Since the tourist spots were far apart, I spent a lot of time dozing off and idly passing the time in the car, but I expected that would be the case.

距離が離れた観光スポットの移動なので、うたた寝、ぼんやり過ごす車中時間が多かったですが、まあそんなものだろうなと想定内でした。

This was my first tour. I was nervous at first, but the tour guide was kind and I enjoyed the tour without any worries. The Churaumi Aquarium was, of course, beautiful, and I was moved by the other places as well.

今回初めてのツアーできた。
最初は緊張しましたが添乗員が親切にしてくれて心配なくツアーを満喫しました。
美ら海水族館はもちろん、他の場所も綺麗で感動しました。

I was able to go out to the ocean and see sea turtles. The sea was calm, and I enjoyed snorkeling safely. The water was so clear that I felt like I was walking or swimming in the sky as I could see the deep seabed clearly. Since life jackets are provided, there's no need to dive, so even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it with peace of mind. If you are prone to motion sickness in the car, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication, as you might feel a bit queasy from the waves.

沖の方まで出てウミガメを見ることが出来ました。
海も穏やかで安全にシュノーケリングが楽しめました。
海が透き通っているため底深い海底まではっきり見えるので空を歩いたり泳いでるような感覚になりました。
ライフジャケットを着用用するので海に潜る必要もなく、泳ぎが苦手な方でも安心して楽しめると思います。
車に酔いやすい方は波で少し酔う可能性があるので酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもしれません。

It was my first experience. I could see the underwater scenery clearly, and it was fun. If I have the chance, I want to ride again—I want to see a sea turtle!!

初めての体験でした。海の中の様子が良く見えて楽しかったです。機会があればまた乗りたいなぁ～ウミガメに会いたい！！

I was planning to book a kayak and cave tour through JTB, but it was fully booked. Just when I was about to give up, I found the clear kayak experience offered by VELTRA online and was able to sign up. I was really looking forward to enjoying marine sports! (*´σｰ｀)ｴﾍﾍ

Initially, it said the duration was 40 minutes, so I thought it would be over in no time... but it actually lasted over an hour and a half! (laughs) I was completely exhausted (my arms lost strength from paddling), and one of the participants even called from the water to ask if we could head back! I really had a great time (laughs).

Moreover, they took photos and even drone footage, which made for a fantastic keepsake. I participated with my sister and brother-in-law, and everyone said they had a lot of fun!

JTBで申し込もうと思ってた、カヤック&鍾乳洞ツアーが満員になってて、諦めかけた時にネットで見つけたVELTRA さんのクリアカヤック体験を申し込んだところ、申込みできて楽しみにしてたマリンスポーツを満喫することが出来ました(*´σｰ｀)ｴﾍﾍ
当初、所要時間40分と書いてあったので、アッという間に終わるんだろうな・・・と思っていたところ、なんと１時間半は越えていたかと(笑)ｗｗｗ
さすがに疲れはて(カヤックを漕ぐ腕の力が無くなって)、一緒に体験に参加されていた方が、海上から電話をかけてくれて、もう戻ってもよろしいですか？と問い合わせしてくれたくらい、満喫させていただきました(笑)
しかも、写真やドローンでの撮影動画まで撮っていただいて、スッゴく良い記念になりました。
姉と義兄の３人で参加しましたが、みんな楽しかった！と喜んでおります。

The water buffalo was so cute! I took a picture with it, and even though I didn't plan to buy anything, after seeing the photo, I ended up purchasing it. There was no smell at all, and the guide's stories were interesting, which made it really enjoyable. The bus guide was also very entertaining, and a crowned eagle appeared by chance and he told us about it. I highly recommend it!

水牛可愛かったー
写真を一緒に撮って、買うつもり無かったけど
出来た写真見たらとても良く買ってしまった
匂いも全然無くガイドさんの話も面白くとても良い
バスのガイドさんもとっても話が面白く冠ワシも偶然現れて教えてくれた
とってもオススメ

I wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium since I couldn't drive, so that was my main goal. However, the Submarine Jr. II at Kouri Island, where you can see the beautiful underwater scenery, was more enjoyable than I expected. It was a full-day tour, and I got tired from the sun and heat, but I recommend it for those who want to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but can't drive.

免許が無いので運転はできない状況で美ら海水族館に行きたかったのでそれがメインでしたが、古宇利島も綺麗な海の中が見られるサブマリンJrⅡも思っていたより楽しかったです。丸一日のツアーだったのと日差しと暑さで疲れましたが、美ら海水族館に行きたいけど運転できない人にはおすすめです。

My 86-year-old father also participated. The boat from Ishigaki Island to Iriomote Island was beautiful. We were able to see plenty of mangroves, and the guide, who was also the bus driver from the port to Yubu Island, was entertaining, making it one of my memorable experiences on Iriomote Island. We rode on water buffalo, and we had enough free time to explore Yubu Island, so I was very satisfied.

86歳の父も参加しました。石垣島から西表島までの船も綺麗。マングローブも思う存分見れたし、船着場から由布島までのバスの運転手さん兼ガイドの方のガイドが面白おかしくて西表島の思い出の一つになりました。水牛に乗ったり、由布島も自由行動で十分見れましたし、大満足です。

The staff was enjoyable to talk to and very accommodating, but it was very cold, and the hour was tough. It was nice that they provided blankets and warm tea. The stars were often hidden by clouds, and I didn't find the tour to be worth the price.

スタッフの方のお話は楽しく対応も良かったですが、とても寒く1時間が辛かったです。毛布や温かいお茶を用意して下さったのは良かったです。
星は雲に隠れがちで見えなくなることも多く、このお値段で納得のいくツアーではなかったです。

Despite making significant changes to the planned route on the day of the trip, I was able to have a fulfilling six hours thanks to the support I received.

However, there were times when I felt that the distinction between work and personal life wasn't clear, as I noticed some distracted driving and phone use, which was concerning.

Instead of asking, "How long does it take from point A to point B?", it would be smoother to do some research on the estimated time myself and figure out when I would return.

事前に予定していたルートから当日かなり変更したにも関わらず、対応していただけて充実した6時間を過ごすことができました。

しかし、仕事とプライベート(?)の区別がついていないのかなと思ったことがしばしばあり、ながら運転や電話をしていたのが気になりました。

「A地点からB地点までどれくらいかかりますか？」と聞くよりも、自分である程度の時間調べて何時間後にまた戻るかを行った方がスムーズにいきます。
