All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I participated in a whale watching tour departing from Naha on January 21 in the afternoon. After setting sail, we couldn't find any whales for about an hour and a half. I was starting to give up hope that we wouldn't see any today, but then the boat increased its speed, and when I looked at the sea, I finally saw a whale spouting water and slapping its tail. It was quite far away, so we only saw it three or four times, which was a bit disappointing. Just as the boat started heading back to the port, we saw spouts of water next to the boat, a dorsal fin, and the tail rising high. Everyone was excited, and it was a great experience. I gave it four stars this time, hoping to see a whale jump next time. Overall, it was good.

1月21日午後の那覇発のホエールウィオッチングに参加しました出港してから
なかな鯨にあえません1時間30分くらい鯨探し
今日はもうでないのかなと諦めかけていましたら船が速度をあげふと海を見ると鯨が塩を噴いてその後尾をたたく動作ついに見れました
ただ遠かったので3回から4回みれたのですが値と残念気持ちで船は
港に向かい始めた瞬間船の横で塩が上がり背ビレが見え尾が高上がり
みんなの喚起とても良い経験ができました
今回星4つは今度鯨のジャンプを期待してで
よかったです

I went on a Beltora sightseeing tour for the first time this time. The bus was almost full, but more than half of the passengers were foreigners. What I enjoyed about this tour were the Churaumi Aquarium and Mihama American Village. The aquarium had many people in the areas with good views and dining options. It might be better to stagger the timing. Mihama American Village has many shops around, and while exploring various stores, time flies by quickly. It's a great tour that offers plenty of enjoyment for the price. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try a different tour as well.

今回初めてベルトラの観光ツアーに行ってきました。
バスはほぼ満員でしたが半分以上が外国人の方でした。
今回のツアーで良かったのは美ら海水族館と美浜アメリカンビレッジでした。
水族館は眺めの良い場所や食事処は人がいっぱいでした。時間をずらせたら良いかも。
美浜アメリカンビレッジは周りにもお店ができていて、あれこれと探しながらの色々なお店を見ることができてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいます。
値段の割には十分楽しめて良いツアーです。
機会があれば違う内容のツアーも行ってみたいです。

I thought the early bus pickup might be a bit tough, but I ended up enjoying myself a lot. The procedures at the terminal were quick, and we boarded a ship that was more impressive and comfortable than I expected. The arrangements for the transfer were efficient, with hardly any time wasted. It was a shame we couldn't go further into Iriomote Island due to low tide, but I had fun discovering rare birds. The lunch on Yubu Island, though small, was filled with homemade local dishes that made me feel the essence of Okinawa. Taketomi Island truly looked like something out of a poster, and time seemed to flow slowly there. The return trip was also by bus, and the transfer procedures were quick, which was great. Overall, I really felt I got my money's worth with this experience. I highly recommend it. Dorikan-kun was super cute.

バスの迎えが早くて少し辛いかなと思いましたが、そんな心配もよそにとても満喫できました。ターミナルでの手続きも早く終わり船に乗り込みましたが思っていたより立派な船で快適でした。移動の段取りは手早くて時間ロスはほとんどありませんでした。西表島では干潮で奥まで行けなかったのは残念でしたが珍しい鳥を発見したりして楽しかったです。由布島でのお弁当は、小さいながらも中には手作りの郷土料理がいっぱい入っていて沖縄を感じられました。竹富島はほんとにポスターで見るようで、時間がゆっくり流れていました。帰りもバスでしたが乗り継ぎの手続きも早くてとても良かった。全体的にこのお値段で本当に満喫できたと思います。おすすめです。ドリカン君がとってもキュート。

The tour itself was enjoyable without any issues. However, I think there is a problem with the bus transfers. Since there are no assigned seats, those who return to the bus early get to choose their seats, and those who arrive late end up separated from their families on different buses. It seemed difficult for those with small children. There are two bus transfers.

ツアー自体は問題無く楽しめました。
しかし途中のバス移動に問題があると思います。
座席が指定されていないので早くバスに戻った人から座るようで、遅れて来た方は、家族で離れて別のバスになっていました。小さいお子様連れの方は、大変そうでした。バス移動は2回あります。

The weather in Okinawa is unpredictable. I think it would be great if it didn't rain. This time, I wanted to connect with nature, but unfortunately, the rain diminished that experience. The bus had a tour guide with audio guidance through receivers, which might be a bit bland for older folks. However, it's perfect for quietly enjoying the sights.

沖縄の天気は気まぐれ。
雨が降らなければ最高だと思う。
今回、自然に触れようとしたがあいにくの雨で半減。
バスも添乗員さんが居てレシーバーで音声ガイダンス、年配の方には味気ないかな？静かに観光するにはもってこいだけど。

I used this service on the second day of my stay. Since the pickup location was the hotel I was staying at, I had no trouble finding the meeting point, and it allowed us to efficiently visit the tourist spots, making it highly recommended for first-timers. Most of the participants were foreigners, but there is an earphone guide available, the bus is clean, and the guide was experienced and efficient, which made me feel at ease.

滞在2日目に利用しました。ピックアップ先が宿泊していたホテルでしたので集合場所に迷う事なく、観光スポットを効率よく回れるので初めての方にお勧めです。外国の方がほとんどでしたが、イヤホンガイドもありますし、バスは綺麗ですし、ガイドさんはテキパキ慣れた方で安心です。

This time, we participated from Chatan on New Year's Eve.

The staff were very patient in searching for us. However, the whales did not appear. The sea was rough, and there was quite a bit of swaying.

We participated as a couple, and since we were used to being on a boat for long hours, we were fine, but many families joined due to the year-end, and the children seemed to be struggling quite a bit. It was sad to see.

At some point, it felt less about the whales and more about wanting to go home quickly. However, it took quite a while to return from Chatan, and it took nearly two hours.

If you are prone to seasickness, it might be better to depart from Naha? I think it would be good to ask the tour operator by phone before deciding on the departure point.

I asked a local, and they said that the end of the year and New Year’s is still a bit early. They suggested that early February to mid-March is a better time, so definitely consider going then!

We also received tickets to participate again for free. Thank you very much. This is just luck, isn't it?

今回は北谷から大晦日に参加しました。

スタッフの方はとても根気よく探してくださいましたよ。
でもクジラは現れず。海も荒れていてかなりの揺れでした。

私達は夫婦で参加、船で長時間揺れるのは慣れていましたので大丈夫でしたが、年末ということで家族での参加が多くお子さん達はかなり辛そうでした。見ていて可愛そうでしたね。

途中からはもうクジラどころではなく早く帰りたいムードでした。
ですが、北谷からだとかなり時間がかかり帰りも2時間近く掛ったかな。

船酔いしそうな方は那覇からの方が良いかも？
電話でツアーの方に聞いてから出発地を決めてもいいと思います。

地元の方に聞きました。年末年始はまだ時期が早いそうです。
2月上旬～3月中旬くらいが良いそうですのでその頃に是非！

私達ももう一度無料で参加できるチケットをいただきました。
ありがとうございます。
これはもう運ですよね。

I was skeptical about visiting three islands in one day, but the schedule for each island was just right, and I was able to have a meaningful day.

１日で３島をまわるのはどうなのかと疑問を感じていましたが、各島でのスケジュール感もほどよく、有意義な一日を過ごすことができました。

You can relax and spend time on Yufu Island. The mangrove cruise was also easy to understand thanks to the friendly guide. Considering transportation and efficiency, I think an optional tour is a good choice for island sightseeing.

由布島でゆっくり過ごせます。マングローブクルーズもガイドさんが親切でわかりやすかったです。交通の便や効率性を考えると離島観光はＯＰツアーが良いと思います。

Participating alone
Since I rarely acted in a group, it was quite relaxed for me.
It might be good for beginners to easily experience various things.

一人で参加
特に団体で行動する事が少なかったので
自分的には気楽であった
初心者には簡単に色々と経験出来ていいかも

I had a whole day free while traveling alone, so I decided to make a reservation. My main goal was the Ocean Expo Park, but since I had the opportunity, I chose this tour that also allowed me to visit places I hadn't had the chance to go to before.

As a result, I was able to take photos at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and I thoroughly enjoyed both Pineapple Park and Ryukyu Mura. Although my stay at places other than Churaumi was short, I personally felt it was just the right amount of time without feeling rushed.

The guide, despite saying they were inexperienced, provided a thorough and reassuring tour. If you're participating with multiple people, three hours might not be enough to fully enjoy the aquarium, but I think this plan is perfect for solo travelers.

1人旅で丸々1日空いていたので、予約してみました。目当ては海洋博公演でしたが、せっかくなので、あえて行く機会がなかなか無かった場所にも寄れるこのツアーをチョイス。
結果的に、美ら海水族館での写真撮影はもちろん、パイナップルパークも琉宮城もしっかり楽しめました。美ら海以外は滞在短めですが、個人的には時間を持て余すことが無くちょうど良いくらいでした。
ガイドさんは、不慣れとおっしゃりつつも丁寧にガイドしてくださり、安心できました。
複数人で参加の場合は、水族館をじっくり見たりと3時間滞在では足りないかもしれませんが、1人旅にはピッタリのプランだと思います。

Our guide, Hiromi Izumi, showcased her extensive knowledge and provided an exceptional experience with singing, dancing, and storytelling. She even taught us the traditional Kachashi dance and created her own quizzes, demonstrating her dedication to service as a veteran guide. I was also impressed by her calm handling of late guests.

ガイドさんの泉広美さん。豊富な知識での案内に加え、歌に踊りに紙芝居、さらにカチャーシー指導や自作のクイズまでサービス精神の塊でベテランガイドの至芸を見せてくださいました。遅刻する客に対する処し方も穏やかで感服しました。

It was a relaxing tour.
Kayaking was also fun.

I think it's especially good for children to wear a raincoat, both top and bottom.
My child (a second-grade boy) only wore rain pants on the bottom, and for some reason, water seeped in from the top, soaking his underwear...

I wondered how he was paddling (I think adults wouldn't get wet...).
I thought it would have been better to have more thorough gear.

It was nice to see the mangroves up close and to be in touch with nature.
Thank you very much.

ゆったりとしたツアーでした。
カヤックを漕ぐのも楽しかったです。

子供は特にレインコートを上下着た方が
良いかと思います。
うちの子(小2男子)は、下だけレインズボンをはかせたら、
何故か上着から水が染みてきて、
下着まで濡れていました…。

どんな漕ぎ方をしたのか、
(大人なら濡れないと、思いますが…。)
念には念を入れた装備をすれば良かったと
思いました。

マングローブも近くで見られ、
自然に触れられ良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The quality of the food and the singing during the cruising was just okay, but the staff's service was excellent. I participated with my children, and they were always attentive to us.

料理のクオリティとクルージング中の歌はまぁこんなものかというものでしたが、スタッフの方々の対応は最高でした。子連れで参加したのですが、常に気をかけてもらいました。

It was the first day of the season, and I wasn't expecting much since the peak viewing times are in February and March. I thought I might see them far away and small, but to my surprise, a pair of whales put on quite a show right up close several times! It became a lifelong memory! I want to participate again!

解禁初日であり、見られるピークは2月&3月とのことで、期待はしておらず、見られても遠くに小さくかな～と思っていたのですが、なんとなんと。ペアのクジラさんが、近くで何度も暴れてくれました！！一生の思い出になりました！！また参加したいです！

Perhaps because it was during the New Year's holiday period, we formed a line before boarding the boat. It was about a 30-minute wait? Without any explanation, everyone was uncertain and murmured, "I wonder if we should line up here."

Before boarding, the voice of the man giving the explanation was quite soft, leaving us a bit anxious about whether he was saying anything important. We did see whales, but there was no explanation about them; it just felt like we "saw" them. Since we were fortunate enough to see them, I wished there had been some commentary about their ecology and differences by season. If there had been, we could have enjoyed the time even when the whales dove and were out of sight for a while...

お正月休み期間中ということもあってか、船に乗る前に
列を作り並びました。30分くらい？説明もなく、みんなが並んでいるので「ここに並ぶのかな」と皆が不安げに口々に言っていました。
乗船前には、説明してくれる男性の声も小さく、大事なことを言っているのかいないのか、少し不安でした。
クジラは見えましたが、クジラについての説明もなくただ「見た」という感じ。生態や、時期での違いなど、せっかく見ているので解説が欲しかったです。そうすれば、クジラがもぐってしまってしばらく出てこない時間も楽しめたのに・・・。

I was moved to see something like a television commercial screen right in front of me multiple times. The boat was rocking quite a bit, so filming was challenging. Since it was an afternoon trip, the backlight made filming even more difficult. The staff mentioned that it was the best of the year (though it's only January 4th today... haha). I only managed to capture video, so it would have been nice to be able to upload that.

テレビの宣伝の画面のようなものが　目の前で　何度も観られたのには感動です。船がかなり揺れるので　撮影は　大変でした。午後からの便だったので逆光になって　さらに撮影もうまくいきませんでした。スタッフの方から今年最高でしたとのこと（今年といっても本日１月４日なので・・笑）動画しかとれていないので　動画がアップできると良かったです

I participated in the course that started at 1 PM on January 4th. The boat rocked quite a bit, but we arrived at the whale point in about 30 to 40 minutes, and I was so excited to see the whales that I didn't have time to feel sick. The couple of whales jumped and played around, providing a great spectacle. The staff was very kind and gave clear explanations, so I had a really enjoyable time.

1／4午後1時からのコースに参加しました。
船はかなり揺れましたが、クジラポイントに着くまで30〜40分くらいで着き、クジラを見たら興奮して気持ち悪いと感じる暇がなかったです。
カップルのクジラが飛んだり跳ねたり、色々な動きをしてくれて、見応えがありました。
スタッフの方もとても親切でわかりやすい説明があったので、とても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。

The day we participated was cloudy, so unfortunately we couldn't see the sunset, but the night view was very beautiful and moving. Also, the singer was very good at getting everyone excited, and we had a great time. The food was also more substantial than I expected, and I was very satisfied. However, I would like to note that the title "Hotel Pickup Available in Naha City" can be a bit misleading, and the woman I spoke to on the phone when inquiring about the pickup details was quite unfriendly, so I will give it four stars.

私たちが参加した日はくもりだったので、
残念ながらサンセットは見られませんでしたが、
夜景がとてもきれいで、感動しました☆
また、歌手の方が、とても盛り上げ上手で、
楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
お料理も、思っていた以上のボリューム感で、大満足でした。
ただ、＜那覇市内ホテル送迎可＞というタイトルでは、
少し紛らわしい点があるということと、
送迎の詳細について問い合わせた際の電話口の女性が、
かなり不愛想だったという点を踏まえて、
★は４つにさせて頂きます。

I participated on January 3rd. I was very satisfied to see the whale up close. They searched until the last minute, and thanks to that, I was able to see it so close that I got splashed by the blow.

正月３日に参加しました。
クジラが間近で見れとても満足しました。
時間ギリギリまで探してくれて、お陰様でブローのしぶきがかかるほど近くでみれました。

After arriving at Taketomi Island, we were taken by car to the water buffalo cart boarding area, and we were also able to rent bicycles at the same location. We were very satisfied with both experiences. Since we had made a reservation, everything went smoothly. We took the ferry that departed Ishigaki Port at 10:45 and returned from Taketomi Island at 14:10, but the popular restaurants were crowded, and we didn't have enough time to get in. The roads are sandy and there are many hills, so it can be a bit challenging for those who are not used to riding bicycles. On sunny days, I think it’s a good idea to have sunglasses and a hat.

竹富島に到着後、車で水牛車乗り場まで連れて行っていただき、レンタサイクルも同じ場所でできました。どちらも大満足でした。
予約してあったので全てスムーズに行きました。10:45石垣港発14:10竹富島発の船に乗りましたが、人気のレストランは混んで居ては入れないなど時間が足りないくらいでした。
道は砂が敷いてあり坂道が多いので、自転車に乗り慣れて居ない人には少し大変です。
晴れている日にはサングラスや帽子があるといいと思います。

I had a hard time encountering whales and was on my way home thinking today was a bust, when I received information that there were whales near the port. I was about to give up, but in the end, I was able to meet them. It was moving!

なかなかクジラに遭遇できず、今日はダメでしたということで帰路についていたところ、港の近くにクジラがいるとの情報。諦めかけていましたが、最後の最後に出会えました。感動しました！

It took about 15 minutes to move to the spot, and then we went to the viewing room at the bottom of the boat.

The water clarity is rated 3 out of 5. You can check this during the check-in before departure.

While the clarity wasn't very high and there weren't many fish to admire, I think it was sufficient for the participation fee. I recommend the option that includes lunch.

移動に15分程、スポットに到着してから船底の観賞室へ移動。

海の透明度が5段階のうち3番目。出港前の受付時に確認出来ます。

あまり透明度が高く無く、魚も見惚れる程は居ませんでしたが、参加料からすれば十分だと思います。ランチ付きがオススメですね。

I was grateful for the shuttle service and that solo participation was allowed. Since the season is still early and I had already had a good experience before, I came with a mindset that it would be lucky if we got to see anything. The winter sea is definitely rough, so I prepared with motion sickness medication and a raincoat. Many people got very seasick and it was unfortunate to see them vomiting. The staff responded quickly to help them. I managed to cope with the swaying by using my own method of dealing with seasickness, so I was fine. The whales didn't appear at first, but I thought it was nice to see the rainbows that appeared every time the spray shot up. Just when I thought that, we spotted a whale right before returning to port! The boat happened to be in the best position, and we got to see the beautiful back and tail fin as it surfaced! It was moving. Since I had a schedule that required me to head directly to the airport, I asked if I could leave my luggage in the car, and they kindly stopped by a station on the way. Thank you for a wonderful time.

送迎があり一人参加OKで助かりました。まだシーズンは早いですし、一度充分会えたことがありましたので、出てきてくれたらラッキーくらいの気持ちで参りました。冬の海は絶対荒れるので酔い止めと合羽の完全防備で臨みました。皆さん、ひどく酔って吐いて気の毒でした。スタッフのかたが迅速に対応して下さっていました。私は揺れに下半身だけで対応するという自己流の船酔い対策姿勢をとっていたので平気でした。クジラさんは現れず、飛沫が激しく上がるたびに現れる虹を眺めて、虹が何回も見れただけで良かったと思おうとしたら、帰港直前で発見！船がたまたまベストポジションとなり、浮上した背中と潜水の美しい尾ビレが見れました！感動しました。直接、空港に向かわないといけなスケジュールでしたので、荷物を車に預かっていただき、無理を言って通りがかりの駅に寄っていただきました。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

I appreciated the shuttle service and that it was okay to participate alone. It was my first time going to the northern part of the main island. From Cape Henna, the northernmost point, I could faintly see Yoronjima. At Oishi Forest Park, it wasn't as crowded as I expected, so I was able to pass through the rock of reincarnation, which is said to allow you to be reborn if you go through it three times, without bothering anyone. Since it was New Year's Day, they served special sweet red bean soup. While I was quietly gazing at the scenery, a swallowtail butterfly fluttered by and landed on my smartphone, which made me very happy. The hotel lunch was luxurious. The aquarium visit was short, so I focused on the whale shark and dolphin show. I bought souvenirs at the candy castle. Since there were many foreign visitors, the bus had an audio guide. I'm sure the foreign guests felt reassured. It was a very fulfilling day. Thank you very much.

送迎があり一人参加OKで助かりました。本島の北には初めて行きました。最北端の辺戸岬から与論島がぼんやり見えました。大石林山では思ったより混んでいなかったので三回くぐると生まれ変われるという生まれ変わりの岩もどなたのじゃまにもならずにくぐることができました。元旦ということで特別お汁粉がふるまわれていました。景色をじっと眺めていたらアゲハチョウがひらひらと飛んできてスマホにとまってくれました。なんだかとてもうれしかったです。ホテルのランチは豪華でした。水族館は時間が短いのでジンベイザメとイルカショーに絞りました。お菓子御殿でお土産を買いました。外国のかたが多いのでバスの中は音声ガイドでした。きっと外国のかたは安心と思います。とても充実した一日でした。ありがとうございました。

I booked a hotel in Naha City, so it was easy to get around on this tour. The underwater observatory was a bit disappointing, but I was satisfied with everything else. I recommend this tour over renting a car and driving around, especially since the admission tickets are included in the package.

那覇市内にホテルを取っていたので、このツアーで楽に回れました。海中展望台だけはイマイチでしたが、他は満足できました。自分でレンタカーを借りて回るより、また入場券もパックなのでお奨めです。

Instead of following a single guide the whole time, the system allows you to follow your course number and navigate the route. Guides are waiting at each location, so there’s no need to worry about getting lost, and it felt free enough to act independently. The guide's stories were great as well.

However, it was unfortunate that the weather was bad on the day of the tour, and it was quite cold, so I wish I had dressed a bit warmer.

ずっと１人のガイドについて回るのではなく、自分のコース番号に従ってルートを回る仕組みになっていますが、各場所でガイドさんが待っていてくれますし、特に迷う心配もなく、個人行動しているくらいの自由さでよかったです。ガイドさんの話もよかったです。
ただ、残念だったのは当日、天気が悪く、かなり寒かったので、もう少し暖かい格好で行けばよかったです。

I used it for the first time. I had heard from my friends that it was really good, so I was looking forward to it. It would have been perfect if the weather had been better.

初めて利用しました。友達からとてもいいよと聞いていたので、楽しみにしていました。お天気がもっと良ければ最高でした。
