All Reviews for 沖繩活動

On the day of the trip, although the weather was nice, the sea conditions were unstable, so they quickly suggested a plan to do snorkeling in the first half and enjoy kayaking in the second half. I could feel their consideration to ensure we were satisfied as much as possible. Additionally, they provided various explanations in advance to ease our concerns, which was reassuring, and the little touches they added doubled the enjoyment. I was happy with the extra effort beyond just taking us along. The guide's personal abilities were high, and we had a safe and enjoyable time. Thank you, Macchan!

当日、お天気は良かったものの海のコンディションが不安定だったので、急遽シュノーケリングを前半にして、後半はカヤックを楽しむというプランを提案していただきました。
出来る限り、満足できるようにと配慮してくださる気持ちが伝わってきました。
また、事前にこちらに不安がないように色々と説明をして下さるので安心でしたし、細かい演出で楽しみが倍増します。
単に、連れて行ってくれるだけではないプラスαの気持ちが嬉しかったです。
ガイドさん個人の能力が高く、安心で楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ありがとう、まっちゃん！

I intended to enjoy the atmosphere of Taketomi Island while leisurely watching the speed of the water buffalo, but they stopped frequently, waiting for their "marking" (laughs). My expectations were not met. Well, they are living creatures, so that's to be expected. It seems like there is a set course, and they really only walk a short distance. I think it would be the same no matter which company you use.

If I had to say, using this service means you can only use this company's boat. They will take you to the boarding area according to the boat's departure time, but you can't enjoy the scenery at the dock leisurely. This is because the boat schedule is fixed. If you don't catch the right boat, there is quite a gap until the next one. If you want to conveniently use boats from other companies, I think it would be easier to book a boat individually and sign up for the water buffalo tour separately. You can go without a reservation. There is a bus waiting that will take you to the water buffalo boarding area. They also provided a ride back. It may be a bit more expensive, but that way you can ride any company's boat, which is more convenient. I was staying at Hotel Nikko Yaeyama, so I found the shuttle service appealing, but since I had a rental car and the parking at the island terminal is cheap, the shuttle might not have been that attractive. Even if I wanted to get a ride back from the island, the shuttle bus only departs at 2:30 PM at the earliest. I took the local bus back. It's a nice place to visit for a memory (though I didn't go to Hoshizuna Beach).

水牛さんの歩くスピードを楽しみながらゆっくり竹富島の雰囲気を味わうつもりで行きましたが、すぐ止まるし、マーキングとやらの排泄待ち（笑）。期待は裏切られます。まあ、生き物ですからそんなものです。コースは決められているようで、ホントに歩いてもすぐの距離しか歩きません。たぶん、どの会社を利用しても同じだと思います。
　強いて言えば、こちらを使えば当然こちらの会社の船しか利用できません。船の出る時間に合わせて乗り場まで送ってくれるのですが、船着き場でゆっくり風景を楽しんだりできません。それは船の時間が決まっているからです。ちょうどの船に乗らないと、次の船まで間隔がかなりあるからです。他の会社の船も便利に使おうと思ったら、個人で船に乗って、個人で水牛観光に申し込んだ方が便利だと思いました。予約なしに行っても大丈夫です。バスが待っていて、水牛乗り場まで送ってくれますから。帰りも送ってくれていました。割高になりますが、そのほうがどの会社の船にも乗れますし便利です。私は日航八重山に泊まっていたので送迎を魅力に思いましたが、レンタカーがあったし、離島ターミナルの駐車場は安いから、送迎は魅了的ではなかったかも。島から帰ってきて送ってもらおうと思っても、送迎バスは早くて14時30分発しかない。私は路線バスで帰りました。記念に行くには良い程度です（星砂海岸までは行っていません）。

I traveled to Okinawa with two friends in March for a two-night, three-day trip. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see much of the beautiful ocean due to the weather. However, on the last day, which was our whale watching day, the weather was perfect. The guide was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

At first, I was worried that we wouldn't see any whales, but we were able to see them clearly. It was also memorable to see a mother and baby whale together.

There were many people on the boat, including not only Japanese tourists but also a lot of foreign tourists, such as those from China. Since it had been rainy for several days, the waves were a bit high, and it seemed that more than half of the foreign tourists were seasick. However, our group had no issues. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some medication beforehand, which helped. I recommend that anyone who is worried about seasickness take some medication as well.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour with good weather and no seasickness.

3月に友人と３人で利用しました。２泊３日の沖縄旅行でしたが、天候に恵まれずあまり綺麗な海を見れていませんでした。最終日のホエールウォッチングの日だけとてもよく晴れました。ガイドのお兄さんも、とってもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
最初は、クジラが見れなかったどうしようと思っていましたが、しっかりと見ることができました。また、親子のクジラを見ることができたのも印象深かったです。
船には多くの人が乗っていて、日本人だけでなく中国人観光客など外国人が多かったです。雨の日が続いていたこともあり、若干波が高かったこともあり外国人の観光客の方の半分以上が船酔いしていたようでしたが、私たちグループは問題ありませんでした。もともと、酔いやすいタイプなので事前に酔い止めを飲んで防げたので、心配な方は酔い止めを服用するといいと思います。
船酔いすることもなく、いい天気で楽しいツアーだったので満足です。

The coach was a bit late because of traffic, so that wasn't the fault of the tour, but other than that the trip was great. The butterfly house is in fantastic grounds and the butterflies are really used to humans. It would have been nice to have a bit longer there to get the feel of the place a bit more more, but it was a good start. The aquarium is superb! The dolphin show and manatees were extra bonuses. The location was amazing and the gorgeous little beach in the grounds of the aquarium was lovely. The pineapple park was a very brief stop. As with the butterfly house, a longer stay would have been good. The glass blowing place was essentially a shop, but if you just go there thinking about getting a reasonably priced souvenir and seeing something a bit different, it was enjoyable as well. The tour guide had very limited English but tried hard and provided us with gps based English speaking audio guides which helped us to learn a bit more about what we saw. The price was brilliant for what we did and would recommend the trip to anyone staying in Onna so that they can see a bit more of the north of the island

We participated as a family of four with our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children.

The reason for reducing the rating by two stars and giving it a score of three is:

★ First point → Even though the children couldn't swim well, the instructor only gave them warnings.

★ Second point → I was aware that there was a possibility we might not go to the Blue Cave, but we were informed of this only after arriving at the shop, unloading our belongings, and starting to fill out the participation form. The price remains the same even if we can't go to the Blue Cave.

☆ Third point → If we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, we were taken to a place with artificially arranged coral, where fish were swimming around, but the water was murky, likely due to the high waves, so we couldn't snorkel in a "beautiful sea." However, I didn't deduct points for this since it was just bad luck.

I had high expectations because many families with young children had wonderful experiences, but it didn't quite meet those expectations. Although we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, we decided to participate because we could snorkel in a place where fish were swimming.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, the children, who were not used to the sea, received various warnings from the instructor. Even with the warnings, the children, being inexperienced, kept making the same mistakes.

■ When we reached the snorkeling area, the 6-year-old couldn't touch the bottom, so when they flailed their legs while still wearing fins, the instructor repeatedly told them, "Don't move your legs."

■ The child seemed anxious about not being able to touch the bottom, and when they tried to sit on the float that the instructor was holding, they were told, "Don't put your body on it." They continued to unconsciously try to use the float, so I had to intervene.

■ The 6-year-old struggled to hold the snorkel properly and was repeatedly told, "Don't make an 'i' shape with your mouth. Make a 'u' shape. Your mouth should be in a 'u' shape."

Since the children were flailing their legs in an unfamiliar environment and receiving warnings, both parents were caring for the children while trying to manage the situation before the instructor had to step in.

The 6-year-old was swallowing seawater because they couldn't hold the snorkel properly, but the instructor only gave warnings and didn't assist with caring for the children.

As parents, we had to adjust the children's goggles and help them reposition the snorkel while on the unfamiliar sea. The 9-year-old adapted quickly and, although they unconsciously flailed their legs, it didn't take long for them to swim freely.

The instructor was friendly and engaged with the children, saying things like, "You can see these kinds of fish," and scattering food around the boat to attract fish while caring for the kids.

While participation is allowed for young children, it seems that the instructor does not necessarily provide care for the children, allowing adults to swim freely.

The 6-year-old said, "I drank a lot of salty water, but it was fun," so it seems they enjoyed the experience.

６歳と９歳の子供連れで家族４人で参加しました。

評価の星が２つ減って　評価を３にしてある理由は

★１つ目→子供が上手に泳げなくてもインストラクターの人から注意をされるだけだった。

★２つ目→青の洞窟に行けない可能性があるのは知っていましたが、それを知らされるのが店について荷物を降ろして参加申込書に記入し始める時だった。青の洞窟に行けなくても料金は変わらないです。

☆３つ目→青の洞窟に波が高くていけなかった場合、行けるところは珊瑚？が人工的に整列させておいてあり、その周りを魚が泳いでいるけど、波が高いせいか水も濁っていて「きれいな海」をシュノーケリングできるわけではなかったです。でも、これは運なのでマイナスしていないです。

幼児連れで素敵な体験をされた方がたくさんいたので期待してた分、期待どおりではなかったです。波が高く、青の洞窟にはいけなかったものの、魚を泳いでいる場所でシュノーケルができるということで参加をきめました。
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
シュノーケリングポイントに到着すると
子供は海になれていないのでインストラクターの方から色々と注意を受けていました。
注意を受けても子供達は慣れていないので何度もしてしまいます。

■シュノーケルできる場所に着くと子供が足が海の底に着かないので、自然と足ヒレをつけたままバタバタと動かすと「足うごかさない」とインストラクターの人が何度も子供に注意してくれていました。

■足がつかないのが不安なのか子供がインストラクターの人がひっぱってくれる浮き輪に体を乗せると「体はのせない」と注意してくれていました。その後も無意識に浮き輪にしようとしていたので、こちらで止めていました。

■６歳の子供はシュノーケルをくわえるのが上手く出来ず、何度も「’い’の口の形にしない。’う’の形にする。口は’う’の形」と注意してくれていました。

子供も慣れていない環境で足をバタつかせて何度も注意を受けるので、そのたびに親2人で子供達をケアしながらインストラクターのお兄さんに注意を受ける前に子供達のケアをしていました。

６歳の子供はシュノーケルがうまくくわえられず何度も海水を飲んでいましたが、インストラクターのお兄さんからは注意をうけるだけで子供達のケアをしてくれるとかはなかったです。

親は慣れない海の上で子供のゴーグルを直したり、シュノーケルをくわえなおさせたりしなければいけなかったです。９歳の子は慣れるのが早く、足を無意識にバタつかせるものの自由に泳ぎまわれるまで時間がかからなかったです。

インストラクターの方も感じは良くて、海に行ってシュノーケルをさせるまでは「こんな魚がみれるよ」とか船の周りに餌をまいて子供に話しかけたりしてくれて子供達のケアをしてくれていました。

幼児の参加OKだけど、インストラクターの方が必ず子供達をケアしてくれて大人が自由に泳げるというわけではないようです。

６歳の子は「からい水いっぱい飲んだけど楽しかった」と言っていたので楽しめてはいたようです。

I never expected to be able to enjoy a dinner cruise in Okinawa. I was satisfied with the generous portions of the meal. Plus, being able to listen to live music was a wonderful surprise. Thank you for a lovely evening!

まさか沖縄でディナークルーズが出来るとは思いませんでした。思っていたよりもボリュームのあるお食事に満足。
それに生演奏も聞けるなんて。素敵な夜をありがとうございます！

On September 23rd, I had an experience with my daughter. The Blue Cave was truly beautiful, and even though I'm not good with the ocean, I lost myself in the moment and became completely absorbed. The instructor was very kind and provided clear and thorough guidance from the initial explanation. We were able to take many photos, which became wonderful memories. I definitely want to request this again the next time I go to Okinawa. Thank you very much!

9月23日に娘と体験させて頂きました。
青の洞窟は本当に綺麗で海が苦手な私も我を忘れ夢中になってしまいました。
インストラクターのお兄さんもとても親切で初めの説明から解りやすく丁寧に指導して頂けました。写真もいっぱい撮って頂けていてとても良い思い出になりました。
次に沖縄に行ったときも是非お願いしたいと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。

You can efficiently enjoy island hopping.
At the Ishigaki Island ferry terminal, you can pick up tickets for boats and meals before departing on your own.
First, take a comfortable, spacious high-speed boat for 40 minutes, followed by a Nakama River cruise on Iriomote Island, and then visit Yubu Island with water buffalo, where you can enjoy a meal.
The meal was an Okinawan bento, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the song "Tears Soaked with Tears" at the water buffalo experience.

From Iriomote to Taketomi, it was over 30 minutes on a smaller boat, and it was hot.
After that, we took a glass-bottom boat, but it was disappointing due to the poor sea conditions after the typhoon.
We chose to take a bus on the island due to concerns about rain, but there was too little time for free exploration in Taketomi.
We only had about 15 minutes, which was unfortunate as we couldn't enjoy visiting the lovely souvenir shops or having tea.
My daughters, who chose the rental bicycle plan, were able to select their preferred ferry times (16:00, 17:00, 17:40) and enjoyed themselves until the last ferry. I was envious.
If you're confident in your physical stamina, I recommend this option.
By the way, the 16:00 ferry was the same comfortable high-speed boat as in the morning, while the 17:40 ferry was a smaller boat, but it had a cool cabin below.

離島めぐりを効率よく楽しめます。
石垣島の離島ターミナルで船や食事などの切符を受け取って各自で出発。
最初は新しくて広い快適な高速船で40分、西表島の仲間川クルーズ、水牛で由布島、食事。
食事は沖縄料理のお弁当で、水牛では涙そうそうの歌付きで雰囲気ありました。

西表から竹富までは小さめの船30分以上、暑かったです。
その後グラスボート、台風後のコンディションの悪い海なのが残念でした。
島内は雨を警戒してバスを選択しましたが、竹富自由散策の時間が少なすぎます。
15分くらいしかなく、素敵なお土産店巡りとかお茶とかの時間は取れず残念でした。
同行の娘たちはレンタサイクルプランでしたので、好きな船便（16時、17時、17時40）が選べて、最後の便まで楽しんでから戻りました。羨ましかったです。
体力に自信があるならこちらをお勧めします。
因みに16時は朝と同じ快適な高速船。17：40は小さな船でしたが下に涼しい船室があったそうです。

I participated with my almost 6-year-old daughter and my mother. I wasn't worried since my daughter is naturally good at swimming, and the instructor closely watched the children, so it seemed fine even for kids who couldn't swim. My child looked very happy playing with a family that had a 6-year-old boy. We drove to a nearby beach, descended a steep slope, and slowly walked into the sea. They provide life jackets, but you have to wear the shoes you came in with. I was wearing high Regetta sandals and regretted not bringing marine shoes... even though I had some at the hotel. In the water, it was difficult to swim well with the thick-soled sandals, and I ended up scraping my feet on the rocks. (There was a photo of someone wearing a wetsuit, but you only wear a life jacket over your swimsuit.) When the kids went into deeper water, they got fins and were pulled to safety by the instructor, floating happily. They kept peering into the water and hardly lifted their heads. It was their first time, but it seemed they quickly learned how to breathe. My child returned home unscathed and had a great time. While my child was very satisfied, I will give a lower rating because it wasn't mentioned that there wouldn't be wetsuits and that we would have to enter the sea in the shoes we wore.

もうすぐ6歳になる娘と母の2人で参加しました。
娘はもともと泳ぎが得意でしたので心配はしていませんでしたが、インストラクターの方がきちんと子供を見て下さるので、泳げない子供でも問題ないようでした。
6歳の男の子がいるご家族と一緒で、とてもうれしそうな我子。
すぐ近くの海まで車で移動し、急な斜面を降りて、ゆっくりと歩いて海に入りました。
ライフジャケットは貸して下さるのですが、海に入るときの靴は、履いていった靴のままです。
私は高さがあるリゲッタのサンダルを履いていました。マリンシューズ持って来ればよかった・・・と後悔。ホテルにあるのに・・・。
海の中でも厚底のサンダルでは上手に泳ぐことだできず、岩に足をぶつけて、傷だらけになりました
（ウェットスーツを着た写真が掲載されていましたが、水着の上にライフジャケットを着るだけです）。
子供は深さのあるところまで進むと足ひれをつけてもらって、インストラクターに安全なところへ引っ張ってもらって、ぷかぷか浮いて楽しそうでした。ずっと海の中を覗いて、全然顔をあげませんでした。始めてでしたが、呼吸もすぐに覚えたようです。
子供は無傷で楽しんで帰りました。
子供はとても満足していましたが、ウェットスーツがなかったこと、履いていった靴で海に入ることが記載されていなかったため、★をマイナスにします。

I traveled to Okinawa for the first time with a friend. Since it was right after the rainy season, I was surprised by how hot it was during our short walks! The Churaumi Aquarium and the dolphin show "Okinchan Theater" were cool and provided us with a very enjoyable time, especially since we both love marine life.

Since we were also traveling from our hotel in Onna Village to Naha, I think it was quite reasonable. The only downside is that we arrived in Naha a bit late, but I suppose that's just how it is. It's also great for those who are not comfortable driving a rental car on unfamiliar roads or for those who want to enjoy a drink while sightseeing.

沖縄が初めての友達と二人で乗車しました。今回は梅雨明けだったこともあり、ちょっとした徒歩での移動が想像以上に暑くてびっくりしました！
美ら海水族館やイルカショー「おきちゃん劇場」は涼しく、また生き物好きの私たちにはとても楽しい時間となりました。
恩納村のホテルから那覇への移動も兼ねてだったので、かなりリーズナブルだったと思います。
那覇に着くのがちょっと遅い時間になるのが玉に瑕ですが、それは仕方がないのかなと。
不慣れな道でレンタカーが不安という人や、観光中にお酒が飲みたい人にもいいですね。

I had a great experience on the tour organized by Rad Kanko last time, so I was looking forward to participating again with my daughter. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour itself, both my daughter and I were surprised by the poor manners of some families with children, which diminished our enjoyment. If possible, I think it would be better to separate the seating for families with children and adults without children, either in the front or back, so that everyone can enjoy the trip without any unpleasant feelings. I had such an unpleasant experience that I'm now reconsidering using tour buses in the future, so I wanted to share my experience.

ラド観光さんの前回参加のツアーが良かったので今回も娘と楽しみに参加しました。ツアー自体の内容には大満足ですが、参加されているお子様連れの方々のマナーの悪さに母娘共々ビックリしてしまい楽しさが半減してしまいました。出来たら、お子様連れの方々と、そうでない大人の方々の座席を前方、後方等に分けて頂いた方がお互いに嫌な思いをせずに旅が楽しめたのでは無いかと思いました。これから観光バスを利用するのも考えてしまうくらい嫌な思いをしましたので、体験談として投稿させて頂きました。

It was quite difficult. I kneaded the clay and shaped it myself, even doing the painting. I thought they would teach me various things, but instead, I was shown a DVD and followed along with that. The style is to call the staff only when you don't understand something. I felt a bit abandoned at first, but I managed to do it reasonably well. It turns out that being left alone was just right! I realized that while doing it. I was focused the whole time. The sense of accomplishment when it was finished was incredible.

なかなか難しいです。土をこねて形を自分で作り、絵付けまでしました。色々と教えてくれるのかと思いきや、DVDを見せられ、それにそって進んでいきます。分からないときだけ店員さんを呼ぶと言うスタイルです。結構放置され最初は戸惑いましたが、それなりに出来るものですね。放置で丁度よいのですね！やってみてわかりました。こちらも終始集中してました。出来上がった時の達成感は、半端ないです。

I participated with my girlfriend. Although the weather wasn't very good, it was a satisfying tour that provided a very valuable experience. Without a specific time limit, we enjoyed a water buffalo tour and a rental bicycle tour, spending about four hours on the island, relishing the leisurely water buffalo sightseeing and the freedom of exploring the island on bicycles. In the morning, there were many people, but as the evening approached, the crowds thinned out, so for those who want a more relaxed experience, I recommend going later in the day. Also, you should definitely visit the shallow beach; it will surely become a wonderful memory, so you should bring your swimsuit.

彼女と参加しました。
天候があまり良くない日でしたが、とても貴重な体験が出来て満足なツアーでした。
滞在時間を特に決めずに私達は水牛観光＋レンタサイクルのツアーを体験し、のんびりとした時間の水牛観光と島内を自由に回れるレンタルサイクルを満喫したので、4時間程島に滞在しました。
午前中は人が多く夕方になるにつれて人が減ってきていたのでよりのんびりしたい人は遅めの時間がオススメです。
また遠浅の浜のビーチは是非いった方が良いです。
きっととても良い思い出になるので水着は持って行くべきです。

The cruise, gliding through the wind while seeing plenty of mangroves, was very pleasant. There were no other customers, so we got to enjoy a bit of luxury with a private experience. The water buffalo was very smart, and I was surprised. It was adorable.

たくさんのマングローブを見ながら風をきって走るクルーズはとても気持ちよかったです。ちょうどほかのお客様がいなく、貸し切りでちょっと豪華な感じを味わえました。
水牛さんはとても賢くて、びっくりしました。かわいらしかったです。

I met a whale. I was able to take great photos and videos with my smartphone. I found myself wanting to get closer, see it bigger, and for longer, but I was satisfied to see its back swimming multiple times and to witness it spouting water. I was worried about seasickness, but I had no problems at all. I would like to participate again.

クジラに会いました。スマホで写真も動画もばっちり取れました。もっと近くで、もっと大きく、もっと長く、と欲が出ますが、何度も泳いでいる背中を見て、潮を吹くところも見られたので満足です。船酔いが心配でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。また参加したいです。

I was able to efficiently visit the highlights, which made it enjoyable and easy. However, the audio guide was difficult to hear. Since there were participants from various countries, it might be unavoidable, but I wish there had been a bit more explanation and commentary from the guides.

見どころを効率よく回れたので楽ちんで楽しめました。
ただ、音声ガイドが聞きとり辛かったです。
いろいろな国の方が参加されているので仕方がないのかもしれませんが、もう少しガイドさんからの解説、説明などがあればいいなぁと思いました。

I searched for a tour that includes the Kouri Bridge, Bise Fukugi Tree Road, and Churaumi Aquarium, and I booked this tour. I wanted to see Bise's Warumi, but the stay at Bise Fukugi Tree Road was only 40 minutes, so I could only catch a glimpse, which was disappointing.

古宇利大橋、備瀬のフクギ並木、美ら海水族館を回れるツアーを探して、こちらのツアーを予約しました。備瀬のワルミを見たかったが、備瀬のフクギ並木の滞在時間が40分と短く一瞬しか見れず、残念だった。

This was my first trip to Okinawa! I considered renting a car, but since I wanted to visit not only the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but also a few other places, I signed up for a tour because it was convenient and not expensive.

We participated as a family of four (with children in 3rd and 5th grade), and everyone was thrilled with the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Ryukyu Mura and Pineapple Park.

At Ryukyu Mura, we had an early lunch, and the soba was delicious. The butterfly garden inside was also interesting. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has a relatively long visiting time, so we were satisfied not only with the aquarium but also with watching the dolphin show at the Ocean Expo Park's Okichan Theater and dipping our feet in the ocean.

Although it took time to pick up other tour participants from several hotels on the way to our destination, it wasn't too bothersome since we enjoyed the scenery outside. I think it's a day full of enjoyment.

Me and my girlfriend decided to go on a trip to ride on a underwater sightseeing cruise. It was really easy to find the place and it's about a 45 minute drive from kadena if your taking the expressway from kadena going to Naha and about an hour going 58 depending on how the traffic flow would be. Anyway, I'd say it's been an average experience cause we didn't exactly have of good view underwater cause of the unexpected weather so the sand under the water is everywhere but it was amusing on how the crew brings out the fish towards you, you'd be on this boat that carries about 20 to 30 people out to the ocean It was about 5 miles out of the port to reach our destination and has a way to go below the boat with seats in the middle and has glass on both sides so you can see the fish, I was really surprised and me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it but I got sea sick after 10 minutes of staring at the fish which took us a total of 1hr and a half tour.

It was just okay.
Deciding in advance on the tenderness of the meat based on previous reviews was the right choice.
The cruise felt like it was just going around the port, so I couldn't really enjoy the scenery.
Overall, it seemed like the atmosphere was geared towards people from China and Korea.

まあまあかな。
料理は以前のレビューを参考にしてお肉の固さをあらかじめ決めたのは正解でした。
クルーズは港をまわる感じで、いまいち景色を楽しめなかった。
全体的の雰囲気としては中国や韓国の人を対象にしてるみたいでした。

We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much. Our one-year-old child was excited and very happy. The weather was nice, the food was satisfying, and all the staff provided great service. We made wonderful memories as a family.

素晴ら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。1歳の子供もはしゃいで大喜びでした。天気も良く、食事も満足、スタッフ皆さんにも良い対応をして頂きました。家族で良い思い出が出来ました。

I participated in a pottery shisa-making experience. I thought it would take about an hour, but before I knew it, over two hours had passed... I was so focused that time flew by. The finished product will be sent to me later, and I'm nervously waiting to see if it turned out well.

If I have the chance again, I would like to make a matching shisa as well! ★

陶器シーサーづくり体験に参加しました。
１時間ぐらいでできるかな？と思っていましたが、気が付くと２時間を超えていました…。
集中していたので、時間が経つのがあっという間でした。
完成品は後日送られてきます。ちゃんとできているのか、ドキドキしながら待っています。

また機会があれば、対となるシーサーも作りたいです★

The steak for the meal was terrible, tough, and inedible. They didn't ask how I wanted it cooked and served it well done. I've heard that all the steaks are cooked the same way, but this isn't school lunch. It was the worst. Also, I don't know what language the people around me were speaking, but they were loud and noisy. I can't recommend this place to anyone, and we won't be using it again.

食事のステーキはまずくてかたくて食えない。焼き方も希望を聞きに来ないで、well done
に焼いていた。聞くところによれば焼き方はすべて同じ、ということだが学校のの給食ではない。最低だった。　また、周囲はどこの国の言葉か知らないが大きな声でしゃべりやかましい。
これでは人にも勧められないし、私たちも二度と利用しない。

We used it on the first day of our family trip. Since our flight arrived in Naha in the afternoon, it was perfect for enjoying Okinawa as the main event of the first day. There was also a live performance of Okinawan folk songs, and we were very satisfied.

家族旅行の初日に利用しました。那覇着の飛行機が午後だったため、初日のメインイベントとしては沖縄も満喫でき、もってこいでした。沖縄民謡のライブもあり、とても満足でした。

I was able to travel much cheaper than if I had paid for the rental car and facility fees myself. It's quite affordable!

自分でレンタカーや施設料を個人で支払いするより断然安く旅ができました(*^_^*)かなり格安です(*^_^*)

I participated to finally ride the water buffalo cart. Perhaps due to the large number of participants, we departed on a large boat. The waves were quite rough on the way to Iriomote Island, and I got seasick. After 50 minutes, we arrived and switched to a cruise ship for the jungle cruise. After returning upstream, we transferred to a bus to move to the water buffalo cart boarding area on Yubu Island. Listening to the sound of the sanshin, we saw the hardworking water buffalo pulling a cart. I'm glad I could ride it and that I came here.

On Yubu Island, during our free time, we explored the island until it was time for the return water buffalo cart. The lunch was not bad if you didn't have high expectations, and I was full. It was so hot that the air conditioning was a treat.

From Iriomote Island to Taketomi Island, we smoothly traveled on a small high-speed boat. It didn't shake much, and I dozed off a bit.

On Taketomi Island, we took a bus to Hama Beach and collected star sand. Then we rode the water buffalo cart around the island. The water buffalo were more relaxed than I expected.

It was quick to get from Taketomi Island to Ishigaki Island.

It was a busy tour that covered three islands in one go, but I'm glad I chose this. The temperatures were too high to relax on each island. Since we could only stay a short time on Taketomi Island, I would like to revisit when the weather is milder.

念願の水牛車に乗るために参加しました。
参加人数が多いためか大型船で出発。
西表島への途中たいへん波が荒くて、船酔いしました。
50分で到着後、クルーズ船に乗り換えてジャングルクルーズへ。
川上から戻ってきてバスに乗り換え、由布島への水牛車乗り場へ移動。
三線の音色を聞きながら、まじめにキビキビ働く水牛さんの引く一輪車。
乗れてよかった、来てよかった。
自由行動の由布島。
帰りの水牛車が出る時間まで、島内散策しました。
お昼ご飯は期待しなければ、まずくはないレベルでお腹一杯に。
とにかく暑いのでクーラーがご馳走です。

西表島から竹富島へは小型高速船でスムーズに。
あまり揺れず、ウトウトと寝てしまうほど。

竹富島ではバスで皆治浜へ移動。星の砂を拾いました。
それから水牛車に乗って一周しました。
思っていたより水牛さんたちはのんびりしてました。

竹富島から石垣島へはすぐです。

一気に三島を巡った慌ただしいツアーでしたが、これを選択してよかったです。
気温が高過ぎて、各島でのんびりできる状態ではなかったし。
竹富島には短時間しか滞在できなかったので、もう少し気温が穏やかな時期に再訪したいです。

I was able to efficiently visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island, and traveling by bus was very easy. It was nice to have the freedom to explore each area. However, as a solo participant, I found it quite awkward that seating was assigned during lunch. I think it would be even better if there were more consideration for solo travelers!

西表島、由布島、竹富島と効率良くまわることができ、バスでの移動もとても楽でした。
各エリアでは自由にまわれたので良かったです。
ただ、私は一人参加でしたがお昼の際に席が決められていたのはとても気まずかったです。
もう少し一人参加の人への配慮があるとなお良いと思いました！

Even without a car, I was able to fully enjoy and visit popular tourist spots in Okinawa in just one day! I was happy to go to Kouri Island, American Village, and the Churaumi Aquarium. I'm not great at planning a detailed schedule, but I recommend it for those who want to make the most of their time!

車がなくても、沖縄の人気の観光場所を１日で思う存分、欲張って回ることが出来ました！！古宇利島とアメリカンビレッジ、美ら海水族館に行けるのがうれしかったです。スケジュールを細かく決めるのが苦手だけど、充実したい人はおすすめです！！

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I chose this tour that includes transportation from the hotel. There was plenty of time, and with the entrance ticket included, the price was a great deal. The guide was friendly and provided thorough explanations. There were several foreign guests, but thanks to the English notices about the meeting time posted in a few places, we were always able to depart on time. Thank you very much for a wonderful trip.

美ら海水族館に行ってみたくて、ホテルから送迎があるこのツアーを選びました。
時間もたっぷりあり、入場券付きでこのお値段はお得です。ガイドさんも感じがよく、説明も丁寧でした。外国人のお客様も何組かいらっしゃいましたが集合時間の注意を何箇所かに英語で掲示していたせいか、いつも時間通りに出発できました。楽しい旅行を本当にありがとうございました。

There are several other places that offer mangrove kayak tours, but I think this one has the best access. However, the scenery might be slightly inferior compared to others. Additionally, due to the tides, other locations seem to have restrictions on start times depending on the day, but here the schedule was quite flexible and easy to arrange. Overall, I think it's a well-balanced tour. The tour guide, who resembled Koki Kameda, provided various explanations and made it enjoyable. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.

他にもいくつかマングローブカヤックツアーを行っている所がありますが、アクセス面では一番いいと思います。その分景観などは他のものと比べるとやや劣るかもしれません。また、潮の満ち引きの関係とかで、他の場所だと日によってスタート時間に制限があるようですが、ここは結構融通が効いてスケジュールが組みやすかったです。全体的にはバランスの取れたツアーだと思います。亀田興毅似のツアーガイドさんが色々と説明してくれて楽しめました。防水のカメラを持って行くといいと思います。
