All Reviews for 沖繩活動

The guide's interesting explanations about nature and Okinawa, as well as the natural beauty of the Hija River, were fantastic! I was able to observe mangroves up close and see many creatures. The ton-ton-mi was especially cute! I learned a lot from the guide and had a very fulfilling holiday. I would love to participate again.

ガイドさんの面白い自然や沖縄の説明と比謝川の自然が最高でした！
マングローブをまじかで観察できたり、たくさんの生き物たちを観察できました。特にトントンミーがかわいかったです！
ガイドさんにたくさんのことを教えて頂き、大変充実した休日を過ごすことが出来ました。
また参加したいと思います。

Very much pleased with the whole experience! The tour is operated by a professional diving shop (Bokenjima) - felt like we were in safe hands. All necessary equipment was provided to us, and we were also assigned a guide for just two of us. The staff members speak English at a sufficient level to explain safety measures and directions. At the end of the trip, we were given a CD with our photos.

Particularly appreciate flexibility of the shop. It was rainy and quite chilly outside on the day of our booking, so we asked if it was possible to postpone to the next day, and they were easy with that. The next day, the weather was much nicer, so we saw a lot of colorful fish of all sizes and types. Fish food is also provided by the staff members, so you'll definitely get wonderful photos as if you are in an aquarium.

Great experience at a more than reasonable price! Definitely recommend to everyone!

This tour was really good for visiting many places in one day at a really inexpensive price. I went to four really interesting spots.
While there was an English audio guide on the bus, it wasn't that good and the actual guide doesn't speak English. Which is fine because you don't necessarily need that because most of the location had employees that do speak some English. Also the tour guide sang a few, what I assume, traditional Ryukyu songs.
I wish I had more time in some places and less in others, but like I said for the price it can't be beat. Just be prepared for a long bus ride.

It was a very international bus tour with only foreign participants. The guide was also fluent in English. They took us to all the important spots, which was very helpful. ^ - ^

外国の方しかいなくて、かなり国際的なバスツアーでした。
ガイドさんも英語堪能でした。
要所要所きちんと連れて行ってくださり助かりました^ - ^

It takes a whole day, but they will take you to all the major spots. I think it's great for those who don't drive. The admission fee for Churaumi Aquarium is included, so I think it's cheap. The tour guide also shares some interesting stories about Okinawa. More than half of the tour participants were foreigners from China and South Korea. They were provided with audio guides. There was enough space on the bus, so I used two seats for myself and comfortably napped during the ride. It was disappointing that the stay on Kouri Island was too short, and I couldn't fully enjoy the sea. But I ended up spending time at a shop where sea grapes were cheap, haha. However, even including that, 20 minutes was too short. Personally, I thought American Village wasn't worth visiting. I was puzzled about what to do there.

丸一日かかりますが、一通りメジャーなところに連れて行ってくれます。
運転しない人にとっては良いと思います。
美ら海の入場料も入っているので安いと思います。
添乗員さんもちょいちょい沖縄ネタを話してくれるので面白いです。
ツアー参加者の半分以上が中国、韓国あたりの外国人でした。
そちらの方には音声ガイドが配られていました。
バスの座席に余裕があったので１人２席使って、移動中は寝たりして快適に過ごしていました。
古宇利島の滞在時間が短すぎて、海が全然堪能できなかったのは残念。
でもこれは海ぶどうが安いというお店で時間を費やしてしまったためｗ
しかしこれも含めて２０分てのは短すぎたな～
アメリカンビレッジは個人的には行かなくて良いかなと思いました。
何して過ごせばいいのか謎でした。

A wonderful experience viewing the underwater world of fishes and corals

There are various optional tours available on Taketomi Island, but the reason I chose VELTRA is that they offer round-trip transportation to and from the hotel. The tour included a water buffalo cart ride, bicycle rental, and the chance to enjoy Taketomi Island. Especially the water buffalo cart ride was nice because it was just my husband and me along with one other couple, allowing us to ride comfortably. The person who provided the round-trip transportation to the hotel was very friendly and kind, and since we were the only ones on the way there, they shared a lot of local information, which was enjoyable. I'm glad I used their service.

竹富島でのオプショナルツアーはいろいろな旅行会社でありますが、私がVELTRAさんを選んだ理由は、ホテルまでの往復送迎があるからです。ツアー内容は、水牛車・レンタサイクルと竹富島を楽しむことが出来ました。特に水牛車は、たまたま私達夫婦ともう一組だけでしたので、ゆったりと乗車することが出来ました。ホテルまで往復送迎してくださった方はとても楽しく親切で、往路は私達だけでしたので、地元情報などいろいろ教えていただき楽しかったです。利用して良かったです。

I participated for the first time as a group. The guide was very beautiful and cute, and she was very kind to us. The changing rooms, showers, and amenities were all fully equipped and available for free, which made me very satisfied. The store was also comfortable to be in. The only downside was that most of the photos were blurry. However, given the price, I am satisfied.

団体で初参加しました。
ガイドのおねぇーさんとても綺麗で可愛く、親切にしていただきました。
更衣室やシャワー、アメニティ類全完備で無料使用とても満足でした。お店も居心地が良かったです。
ちょっと残念なのが、写真ほとんどブレていました。でも、この価格なら納得です。

The main focus of this trip was to take photos of the kids on Taketomi Island, so we chose a tour that included a bus sightseeing option. It seemed like my daughter was really into searching for star sand. The bus driver was very kind to the children and had a great demeanor. However, the tour itself felt a bit tight on time. We only got off the bus to look for star sand, and the rest was from the window, so we couldn't take many photos. Later, we hurriedly rented bicycles to explore. Since it's a small island, it might have been better to start with a rental cycle course. That's my lack of research...

The water buffalo cart was a huge hit with the family! We could leisurely stroll through the stone-built village just as I had imagined, and the guide's explanations included some humor, which kept the kids engaged. I felt that next time, I would like to stay overnight on Taketomi Island!

今回の旅行のメインが竹富島で子供達の写真を撮る事だったので、バス観光付きのツアーを選択。娘のメインは星の砂探しだったようで夢中になってました。バス観光の運転手さんは子供達にも優しく接してくれてとても感じのよい方でした。ただ、ツアー自体はちょっと時間がタイトかな？下車するのも星の砂だけであとは車窓からなので写真を撮る事は出来ず、後から慌てて自転車借りて走り回りました。小さい島なので最初からレンタルサイクルのコースにすればよかったかも。私のリサーチ不足ですね。。。

水牛車は家族も大喜び！イメージしてた通りの石垣造りの集落をのんびりと散策できるし、ガイドさんの説明も所々に笑いを挟み子供達も退屈しない内容でした。次回は竹富島でゆっくり一泊したいなぁと感じました！！

I was looking for activities to do on the day of my arrival, and I found this one.

It was my first time canoeing, so I was a bit anxious, but it was not difficult at all, and I was able to paddle smoothly without getting tired. The sky before sunset, the sunset itself, and even after it got dark were all beautiful, and I made some wonderful memories. I definitely recommend this activity to anyone going to Okinawa! Thank you so much to the instructor for the fun time and the lovely photos!

到着日に出来るアクティビティがないか探していたところ、見つけたのがこちらでした。

初めてのカヌーだったので不安もありましたが全く難しくありませんでしたし、疲れもなくスイスイ漕ぐことが出来て楽しかったです。
日が暮れる前の空も、夕焼けも、暗くなってからも、どの空も素敵で、とてもいい思い出が出来ました。
沖縄に行く人に是非おすすめしたいアクティビティです☆
インストラクターさん、楽しい時間と素敵なお写真を本当にありがとうございます！

I thought it would be a hassle to rent a car from Naha to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I looked for a bus tour and found one to join. The time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium was just right, and it was great that we could stop by Kouri Island and Sunset Beach as well. About half of the participants were foreigners.

那覇から美ら海水族館まで、レンタカーを借りていくのも面倒と思い、バスツアーを探していて見つけ、参加しました。
美ら海水族館の滞在時間もちょうどよく、古宇利島やサンセットビーチに立ち寄れたのもよかったです。
参加者の半分くらいは外国人でした。

I had an amazing experience with Ami, who guided us thoroughly. I love fish, but as someone who appreciates landscapes, I was completely satisfied with the cliff tour. While paddling the canoe, I learned about fish, herons, the terrain, and caves, and the 90 minutes flew by. I was truly satisfied! I've used other shops in Okinawa, but at this shop, they provide kayaks with backrests. Thanks to that, I didn't feel tired at all and could focus on the scenery. However, since the morning course ended an hour before the café opened, I had to give up on using the café this time. Next time I visit Okinawa, I would love to stop by the shop again. I want to enjoy both kayaking and the café then! Thank you so much!

担当して頂いた亜美さんに、ガッツリ、ガイドして頂きました。魚ももちろん好きなのですが地形派の私としては大満足の絶壁ツアー。カヌーを漕ぎながら魚やサギ、地形や洞窟のことなども教えて頂き、あっという間の90分。まさに大満足！　沖縄の他のショップも利用したことがあるのですが、アルガイドさんではカヤックに背もたれを付けて貰えます。おかげさまで疲れ知らず。景色に集中することが出来ました。ただ朝イチのコースのためにカフェの営業時間1時間前に終了してしまったので、今回はカフェの利用はあきらめました。次回、沖縄へ遊びに行く時には、またショップにお邪魔させて頂きたいと思います。その時はカヤック＆カフェを堪能したいです♡ 本当にありがとうございました！

I have traveled with my mother many times, but this was her first visit to Ishigaki Island, so we participated in this tour. It was very helpful because organizing a schedule on our own with ferry transfers and the water buffalo cart has its limits! The transportation was a lot of fun, with ferries and buses on Iriomote Island, and the cruise was just great.

At the end, on Taketomi Island, she was very happy and moved by the beautiful blue sea. Thank you very much!

母娘旅は何度も行きましたが、石垣島は母は初めてと言う事でこちらのツアーに参加しました。フェリーの乗り継ぎや水牛車など個人でスケジュールを組むのは限界があるのでとても助かりました！移動はフェリーと西表島ではバスにクルーズにとにかく楽しかったです。
最後の竹富島では海の青さに感動したととても喜んでくれました
本当にありがとうございました！

After riding a water buffalo and exploring the town, I also took a walk. I only had an hour to tour the town due to my next schedule, but it was enough to enjoy it thoroughly.

水牛に乗って町並みを回った後、歩いて散策もしました。次の予定もあったので1時間で町を回っただけですが、十分堪能できました。

As expected, it was 34 degrees and sunny in Okinawa.
It was hot and dazzling.
About 15 years ago, I also visited Taketomi Island, but it was cloudy and I couldn't see the sun, so I didn't feel the beauty of the star sand beach at Kaiji Beach very much.
However, this time I was able to see the beautiful beach shining in various colors.
It was tough because of the heat, but it was beautiful!
I'm glad I included the bus tour.
In that heat, riding a bicycle would have been a bit difficult.
This was my second experience with the water buffalo cart.
Handsome Maekun, who is scared of bicycles, froze every time a bicycle came by.
He also froze again because he was feeling uneasy about the poop.
The guide's singing was also great.
The leisurely water buffalo cart tour was enjoyable and had its charm.
After that, we walked to the shop where the staff was making handmade rice balls for the young people.
They looked delicious.
They apologized, saying they could make them because there were extra ingredients, and they couldn't make them for us.
They really looked delicious, and I thought I would love to buy handmade rice balls from the island's grandmas!
At the resting spot, the sleepy kitty didn't move at all (laughs).
In the waiting room for the water buffalo cart tour, I was able to purchase a cute dress, postcards, and island pepper.
Thank you very much!

さすが沖縄で34度の晴天
暑い、まぶしかったです
約15年前にも竹富島に来ましたが、お日様がみえなく曇っていたので、星砂のカイジ浜の海辺はあまり綺麗さを感じることができませんでした
でも今回はとても綺麗な何色にも光る海辺を見ることができました
暑くて大変でしたが綺麗～
バス観光を入れてよかったです
あの暑さでは自転車はちょっと無理でした
水牛車も今回で2度目の経験
自転車が怖いハンサム真栄くん
自転車が来るたびにフリーズしていました
あとはうんちでムズムズしてまたフリーズしていました
ガイドのお姉さんの唄も上手です
ゆったり水牛車観光も味があって楽しかったです
そのあとは歩いて売店でお店のかたが若者に手作りおにぎりを作成中
おいしそうでした
あまりものがあったから作れた、作ってあげれなくてごめんね、と謝ってくれました
確かにおいしそうで、島のおあばあの手作りおにぎりは売っていただきたい！と思ってしまいました
休憩場所ですやすやねこちゃんも微動だにせず（笑）
水牛車観光待合室ではかわいいワンピースと絵葉書、島こしょうを購入できました
ありがとうございました

I recommend this for beginners in Okinawa and those who don't rent cars! It’s great for understanding the geography, as it takes you from Naha down to the beautiful Churaumi Aquarium up north.

Especially, Kouri Island is wonderful; although we only had 30 minutes, we could still splash around a bit.

One disappointing aspect was that even though we weren't late, the bus guide rushed us a couple of times. Also, the guidance during the time at Warumi Bridge was unclear, leaving us confused inside the bus.

Additionally, please be aware that there are very few places to eat or buy food at Churaumi Aquarium, and it gets quite crowded! If you prepare in advance by picking up snacks at a convenience store, you can save time and enjoy your visit more comfortably.

沖縄初心者＆レンタカー借りない派にはオススメです！沖縄の下の方、那覇から乗って上の方の美ら海水族館までぐぐーっと行ってくれるので、地理を把握するには良いと思います。
特に古宇利島は素晴らしく、30分しかなかったですが、ちょっとパシャパシャ遊ぶくらいは可能です◎
残念だったことは、時間に遅れていないのにバスガイドさんに急かされた場面が2回程ありました。また、わるみ大橋の時の案内が分かりづらく、車内は？？という感じでした。
あと気を付けてほしいことは、美ら海水族館には食事をする/買う場所がとっても少ない上に混んでいます！！事前にコンビニなどで調達しておくと時間もセーブできるし、安心して回れると思います＾＾

I have visited Okinawa many times for business trips, but this time I participated in a snorkeling tour by myself for the first time. The instructor kindly and thoroughly taught me how to put on and use the equipment, which made me feel safe entering the sea.

Additionally, I heard that due to weather conditions, we couldn't enter the cave until the day before, but luckily, the weather was good on the day of the tour, and we were able to enter the cave, seeing the beautiful blue cave that lives up to its name.

On the way back from the cave, I was able to feed the fish with the bait (fu) provided by the instructor, and I enjoyed seeing the tropical fish of Okinawa up close. The experience of entering the sea directly instead of from a boat was completely different and amazing.

Thank you to the instructor for taking so many photos and for your thoughtful care. Next time, I would like to visit again with my wife, not for business, but for leisure (maybe this time for diving).

沖縄へは何度も出張で訪問していましたが、今回初めて一人でシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。
インストラクターの方は、シュノーケリングが初めての私に親切丁寧に装着方法、使用方法を教えていただき安心して海に入ることができました。
また、前日まで、天候の影響で洞窟に入れなかったとのことでしたが、当日の天候は良くラッキーにも入ることができ、名前に違わぬ青い洞窟の最高のスポットを見ることができました。
洞窟から戻る途中に、インストラクターさんからいただいた餌（麩）で餌付けができ、手が届くところで南国沖縄の魚たちが満喫できました。
ボートではなく直接海に入ってみる景色は全然違い最高でした。
インストラクターさん、気づかい所でもたくさんの写真を撮っていただきありがとうございました。
今度は出張時ではなく、プライベートで家内とまた訪問（今度はダイビングかな）したいと思います。

I found a course that allows you to visit Kouri Island and Pineapple Park. There were a few places where we had to hurry to make it on time, but I was very satisfied to be able to go this far for this price. The guide was cheerful and kind. The sanshin performance at the end in the vehicle was also nice. Most of the participants were from overseas, but the manners in the vehicle were good, making it comfortable. There was almost no delay in time. They provided pick-up and drop-off at several hotels, so it was convenient to choose one nearby.

古宇利島、パイナップルパークもまわれるコースを探していて見つけました。少し急がないと間に合わない箇所もありましたが、この値段でここまで行ければ大満足です。
ガイドの方も明るくて親切でした。最後に車内でひいてくださった三線もよかったです。
海外の方がほとんどでしたが、車内でのマナーもよかったので快適でした。時間の遅れもほぼありませんでした。
ホテルを何カ所か送迎してくれるので近くを選べて便利でした。

I understood, but it was a bit disappointing that each stop in Mishima was quite short. I could hardly see anything on Yufu Island.

On Taketomi Island, I went cycling, and the weather was great, which made it perfect. It's ideal for quickly getting a feel for the island's atmosphere, and I think it's convenient without worrying about transportation. However, next time, I would like to explore each island a bit more thoroughly.

わかってはいましたが、三島巡るため、やはりひとつひとつが短時間なのが、少し残念でした。特に由布島は、ほとんど見ることができなかったです。
竹富島では、サイクリングをしましたが、お天気もよく最高でした。
ささっと島の雰囲気を知るには最適ですし、交通の心配もなく便利と思いますが、次回は各島をもう少しじっくり見たいです。

I participated with my two elementary school children and my husband. It was the children's first time snorkeling, but they received kind instruction and were able to enjoy it. The Blue Cave was also amazing, and the kids were very excited about the fish swimming around them. I would like to go again. The staff from b-nature who guided us were very kind and fun, and they took many wonderful photos. I would like to rely on them again when I go to Okinawa next time.

小学生2人と夫と参加しました。シュノーケリングは子供達2人共初めてでしたが、親切にレクチャーしていただき、楽しむことができました。青の洞窟も素晴らしかったのですが、子供達が自分の周りを泳ぐ魚に大興奮。また行きたいと思います。ガイドをしていただいたb-natureさんのスタッフもとても親切で面白く、素敵な写真をたくさん撮っていただきました。
今度沖縄へ行く時もお世話になりたいです。

Due to the long holiday, there were many participants, but everything went smoothly, including the staff's transfer guidance, allowing us to enjoy our time without any waiting.
On Taketomi Island, I chose to go cycling. Under the blue sky, I rode along the white path with butterflies fluttering around.
Although it was the end of April, the UV rays were strong, so a hat and sunscreen are essential.

大型連休中であったため多数の参加者がおられましたが、スタッフの方の乗り換え案内など全てがスムーズで、待ち時間なく楽しく過ごせました。
竹富島ではサイクリングを選択しました。青い空の下、蝶々がヒラヒラ舞う中、白い道を走りました。
4月末でしたが、紫外線が強く、帽子と日焼け止めは必須です。

Since I was with small children (2 years and 7 months old), I thought cycling would be difficult, so we opted for a bus tour. We got off at Kaiji Beach and picked up star sand, and although we only saw Kondoi Beach from the bus window, it was such a beautiful beach that I thought I would like to play in the water next time. Also, on the water buffalo cart, we spent a leisurely time with the guide and the melody of the sanshin!

小さな子供連れ(2歳と7カ月)だったので、サイクリングは無理だと思いバス観光にしました。
カイジ浜では下車して星砂拾ったり、コンドイビーチは車窓からでしたが、今度来る時は水遊びしてみたいなと思うくらい綺麗なビーチでした。
また水牛車ではガイドと三線のメロディと共に時間もゆっくり流れのんびり過ごせました！

The Good:
Overall a very good time, had lots of fun at all 3 attractions, though I would have loved more time to spend at the Charaumi Aquarium.

I really do recommend the butterfly garden--even if you can't book this tour, that was a really lovely experience, would have loved to spend more time there as well.

Despite the "English Audio" label, neither tour guide or driver could really speak or understand English, but the trip still went really smoothly despite that. I think I missed some extra info (like special highlights of the area, or feeding times for the animals), but the tour guide was really nice, and really tried to be helpful despite the language gap.

The Bad:
My trip started at 8AM when the bus picked me up and ended at 6PM, and while the trip hit 4 different gift stores, they mainly sell a wide variety of sweets. Lunch wound up being a bowl of ramen soup--tasty, but it's not enough to cover breakfast and dinner together.

I didn't like the final gift store that was part of the "free little gift" package, where we got a free cookie with any other purchase, because by the end of the day I was ready for my hotel and real food. However--and I'm assuming the tour company was getting a kick-back from the store--we were parked there for 30 minutes, and after 10 minutes 90% of the group was sitting on the bus waiting to leave.

I realize "dumping tourists in a gift-store" is a common business practice, but when you're inconveniencing and irritating most of your guests, you should probably stop it.

The weather was nice, and the waves were calm, which made it enjoyable. If we could have extended the time and distance to visit various places, it would have felt like a true adventure. Also, I requested some photos, but there was a bias in who was captured, so I thought it would have been better if everyone had been included more evenly. I would love to do it again if the opportunity arises.

天気も良く、波も穏やかで楽しかったです。もっと時間を長くして距離を伸ばしていろんな所に行けたら文字通り冒険した感じがあったと思います。
また、写真をお願いしましたが、映ってる人に偏りがあったのでまんべんなく映ってたらもっと良かったなぁと思いました。機会があればまたやりたいです。

There were many people in the group, and I felt a bit awkward being alone, but I still enjoyed it. I generally prefer to sightsee at a leisurely pace, so I have the impression that tours are busy except during the daytime. I also had to be considerate of the other group while eating, so next time I come, I plan to buy my own ticket and travel at my own pace. I think it would be fun for a family trip.

皆さんグループの方が多く、１人だと気まずい気分になりましたが楽しめました。
基本的に私はのんびり観光したいのでやはりツアーは昼間を除いて忙しいイメージが有ります。
食事も他のグループに気を使いながら食べたので今度来るときは自分で乗船券を買って気ままに旅行しようと思いました。
家族旅行なら楽しいと思います。

The staff gave me advice and taught me politely! I was under the impression that the shisa came as a pair, but after receiving an explanation, I learned that there is one for each (either male or female). So, I thought it might be strange to only get one, and I ended up paying for another one.

お店の人がアドバイスをくれたり、丁寧に教えてくれました！シーサーは二体で一つだと勘違いしていましたが、説明を受けると一人一体（オスかメス）だと知ったので、一体だけってゆーのも変かな？と思ったので、もう一体分のお金を払いました。

Highly recommend! It was fantastic and our guide was better than the others that were there!!

I thought visiting three islands in one day would be tough, but there was plenty of free time, and I was able to take a lot of photos. The weather on Iriomote Island changed suddenly, and it rained a bit, but that's common here, so I was prepared for it. The guide for the Iriomote tour was very polite and, above all, greeted us with a smile. On Yubu Island, they provided separate guides for the ox cart ride to and from, and on the way back, they entertained us with the sanshin. On Taketomi Island, we explored the island by renting bicycles. There were a few more hills than I expected, which was a bit tiring.

I couldn't find any star sand at Kaiji Beach at all. If you really want to find it, it might take more than a day. The view from Kondoi Beach is absolutely the best.

１日で３島めぐりはキツイかなと思いましたが、自由時間も余裕があり写真もかなり撮ることができました。西表は天気が急転して少し雨になりましたがここではよくあることで想定済みでした。西表ツアーのガイドさんも丁寧で何よりも笑顔で接してくました。由布島の牛車は、行きと帰りのガイドさんを別にしてくれて帰りは三線で楽しませてくれました。竹富島ではレンタサイクルで島を巡りました。想定したよりもちょっとした坂が多く地味に疲れました。
カイジ浜の星の砂は、全く見つかりせんでした。本気で見つけようとしたら１日じゃすまないかもです。コンドイビーチの景色は何よりも最高です。

It was my first trip to Okinawa. It turned out to be a surprisingly wonderful travel memory. I was enchanted by the bus guide's singing voice.

初めての沖縄旅行でした。思いのほか素晴らしい旅行の思い出になりました。
バスガイドさんの歌声にうっとり^_^

We participated as a family of three on May 2nd. The sea was really beautiful, probably due to the good weather, and we were amazed to see so many fish. It was our first time for my sixth-grade son, my husband, and me, and we had some worries, but the guide was very kind and cheerful, which made it a lot of fun! My child said this was the most enjoyable part of our trip to Okinawa. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much! 😊

5/2に家族３人で参加しました。
海は天候も良かったせいか、本当にキレイで魚もたくさん見れて感動しました。
小6の息子、主人、私も初めてで不安もありましたがガイドのお兄さんに親切に教えて頂き、明るい方だったのでとても楽しめました‼
子供も今回の沖縄旅行で一番楽しかったそうです。いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました☺
