All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I packed too many places to visit for the time I had, which led to a lot of last-minute adjustments on the day. However, they were flexible and accommodating, and I was satisfied that I could visit the places I wanted. Also, the recommended souvenir shop (like a direct sales store) where I bought fruits was very delicious, and it made me feel happy even after returning home.

行きたい場所を時間のわりに詰めすぎて、当日相談の部分が多くなってしまったが、臨機応変に対応してくれ、行きたいところが行けて満足。また、紹介してくれたオススメのお土産店？(産直のようなところ)で買った果物などがとても美味しくて帰ってからも幸せな気持ちになれた。

I participated with a large group of 22 friends from university, and the guide was very attentive, which allowed us to enjoy the experience. The guide's stories were also interesting!

大学の友達22人という大人数で参加しましたが、ガイドの方にしっかりと対応していただき、楽しむことができました。ガイドの方のお話も面白かったです！

I believe it was related to the tide, but we first went snorkeling at the coral reef and then headed to the Phantom Island. The staff were very kind, and I am especially grateful to the captain for even filming a video of Nemo for us.

At Phantom Island, it's essential to wear sandals or marine shoes to avoid injuries, but if you place your hands on the white sandy beach, pieces of coral can prick your hands and hurt, so if you have marine gloves, it's a good idea to wear them for safety. If you're aiming for Instagram-worthy photos, you can take off the gloves just for that moment.

Finally, when we returned to the port, the captain's docking skills were incredible and left me in awe. To land perfectly at that speed is truly impressive!

おそらく潮位の関係だと思いますが、最初にサンゴ礁でシュノーケル、その後に幻の島へ行きました。
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、特に船長さんにはニモの動画まで撮っていただき大変感謝しています。
幻の島では怪我をしないようにサンダルやマリンシューズが必須ですが、白い砂浜に手をつくとサンゴのかけたものが手に刺さって痛いので、マリングローブがある方はつけておくと安心です。インスタ映えを狙うならその時だけグローブを外す感じで。
最後、港に帰着するときの船長の着岸が神業で感動しました。あの速度で一発で決めるなんてさすがですね・・。

The entire itinerary is quite packed, and the scenery visible from the bus is also very nice. It's perfect for those who don't want to rent a car or drive for a day trip to the northern area. However, the time at the aquarium is a bit tight. The buffet restaurant outside the aquarium has average food, but the view is particularly good. If you choose to eat at the restaurant, you might not have enough time to visit the dolphin exhibit, the water buffalo exhibit, and the sea turtle exhibit. The meeting point is at the bus parking lot, which takes about 10 to 20 minutes to walk to from the aquarium. Therefore, for those who want to thoroughly explore the aquarium, it's recommended to bring some snacks or drinks, or there are places selling hot dogs and other snacks at the aquarium exit.

The last stop, American Village, allows you to break away from the group. The allotted time is not enough if you want to explore properly. The sunset at American Village is also beautiful, and I highly recommend checking it out. On Saturday nights, there’s a 3-minute fireworks show as well.

整个行程安排得挺紧凑的，车上能看到的风景也很好
很适合不包车或者不驾车的人来北部一日游
就是水族馆的时间还蛮紧张的，水族馆外面的自助餐厅味道一般但是风景特别好，就是如果在餐厅吃饭的话，最后的海豚馆水牛馆和海龟馆就会来不及逛，集合点是バス停车场，从水族馆走过去需要十几二十分钟，所以想好好游览水族馆的人建议就自己带点吃的或者水族馆出口有一点卖热狗之类小吃的地方
最后一站美国村可以自行脱团，预留的时间如果想好好逛是不够的，美国村的日落夕阳也很好看蛮建议大家去看一下，周六晚上还有3分钟的烟花表演

The footage taken from the drone was truly beautiful and breathtaking. The snorkeling near the Blue Cave was enjoyable, even with small children, thanks to the attentive instructor.

ドローンからの撮影した映像は本当に綺麗で圧巻でした。青の洞窟付近でのシュノーケリングも小さい子供連れでしたがインストラクターの方がしっかりしてくれてましたので楽しめました。

The guide provided various explanations during the tour, and since we had children with us, we learned a lot about topics like the Self-Defense Forces and military bases. Their personality was great, and it became a wonderful memory.

Although we had a private charter for 7 hours, we were able to cover a lot efficiently, and considering the fulfillment we experienced, I think it was inexpensive.

However, we used taxis several times for transportation, and it seemed like the driving was quite rough. Although this was not a sightseeing taxi, the children felt nauseous several times. The way they overtook and followed the car in front was something we wouldn't expect here in Kansai. Next time, while I might consider using a private sightseeing taxi again, I think I will opt for a rental car for other transportation.

観光でいろいろと説明してくれたり、車内でも子供も一緒だったので勉強になる話(自衛隊、基地等)もたくさんしてくれました。お人柄もよくとてもいい思い出になりました。
7時間貸切でしたが、効率よく回れて、充実感を考えれば、安いと思います。

ただ、他にも移動でタクシーを何回も使いましたが、運転が皆さん荒いように思います。
今回の、観光タクシーでは無いのですが、子供たちも何度も酔いそうになりました。
追い越し方も、前の車に詰め方も、こちら関西では考えられません。
次回は、貸切観光タクシーは利用てもいいですが、その他はレンタカーにしようと思いました。

The leisurely island experience, with a scenic cruise under the blue sky and a water buffalo cart, was delightful while listening to the cheerful explanations. I felt like I was abroad, fully enjoying the nature of Iriomote, Yubu Island, and Take Island.

Since the ferry fare and other costs were included, I felt reassured without the hassle of purchasing tickets myself. I believe that even small children and elderly people can enjoy it with support for getting on and off the water buffalo cart.

青空の下の遊覧クルーズも、水牛車も、明るい声の説明を聴きながら、のんびりと離島を味わえました。西表、由布島、竹島…外国に行ってるような気分で自然も満喫できました。
フェリー代なども含まれているので、自分で購入するわずらわしさがなく、安心できました。
小さなお子様や高齢者の方も、水牛車の上り下りをサポートすれば楽しめると思います。

The water buffalo I rode was very slow. It took us just under 40 minutes to reach our destination, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy the scenery! Riding while listening to the performance of the sanshin and learning about the history of Ishigaki Island was fantastic. At the end, I took a photo with the water buffalo and received a free photo card as well.

私が乗せてもらった水牛はゆっくりさんでした。到着地まで40分弱かけて行き、じっくり景色を楽しむことができました！三線の演奏や、石垣島の歴史を聞きながら乗れるのは最高です◎
最後に水牛と一緒に写真を撮り、無料で写真カードも貰えました。

I think you absolutely must go to Iriomote Island for the mangrove tour, water buffalo cart ride, and the incredibly beautiful beaches of Taketomi Island. It was an extraordinary experience.

西表島でのマングローブ遊覧、水牛車、竹富島の最高に美しいビーチ
絶対行くべきだと思います
非日常を体感できました

I had a great time! The staff were also very friendly. Personally, I recommend adding water activities in addition to snorkeling! Also, there were quite a few people who got seasick, so I think it would be better to take motion sickness medication to enjoy it more.

とても楽しかったです！スタッフの方も親切でした。個人的にはシュノーケルに加えて、水上アクティビティをするのをお薦めします！あとは結構船酔いしてる人がいたので、酔い止め薬は飲んでおいた方が楽しめるかなと思います。

It was efficient and felt great! The ocean was incredibly beautiful. It would have been better if there were point transfers. The staff's response was also good!

テキパキしてて気持ちよかった！海は最高に綺麗でした。
ポイント移動があれば直良でした。
スタッフの対応も良かったです！

It was my first time fishing at sea on a boat, but they kindly taught us how to attach the bait, and all four of my family members successfully caught fish. We caught colorful fish unique to Okinawa. It was a lot of fun!

船での海釣りは初めてでしたが、餌のつけ方等、親切に教えて頂き、家族4人全員、無事に釣れました。
沖縄ならではの色鮮やかなお魚が、釣れました。とても、楽しかったです。

The sea wasn't too rough that day, but since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit, and there were some people who felt sick and ended up vomiting. If you are prone to motion sickness, I definitely recommend taking anti-nausea medication before boarding.

Unfortunately, we hardly saw any whales. We might have caught a glimpse of a tail a few times in the distance, but it was so brief that there was no time to take photos. Just being able to see them was a small consolation. So, the whale watching experience was disappointing this time.

However, Tokashiki Island was very nice. The conversations during the car ride around the island were also interesting. I was soothed by the beautiful sandy beaches and scenery.

Thanks to the tour that included landing on Tokashiki Island, the disappointment of not seeing whales was somewhat alleviated.

当日海はそこまで荒れていませんでしたが、小さな船なのでそこそこ揺れ、具合が悪くなって吐いている方がいました。乗り物酔いをする方は、絶対に吐気止めを服用してから乗船したほうが良いと思います。

残念ながらクジラはほとんど見られませんでした。
遠くの方で数回尻尾が見えたかな～というくらい。
それも一瞬なので、写真を撮る余裕はありません。
見れただけマシという程度。
なのでホエールウォッチングに関しては今回は残念な結果でした。

ただ渡嘉敷島はとても良かったです。
渡嘉敷島内を移動する車の中でのお話も興味深かったです。
きれいな砂浜と景色で癒されました。

渡嘉敷島上陸が付いているツアーに申し込んだおかげで、クジラのガッカリ感は半減しました。

This was my sixth trip to Okinawa, and I finally got to visit Yanbaru. Since tours can lose their charm in the rain, I had been hesitant to book one. On the day of the tour, it was partly sunny and cloudy, but thankfully it didn't rain.

The area around Kunigami Port Shokudo offers beautiful views of the ocean. Many people quickly finished their meals and took photos.

At Daichi Forest, there is quite a bit of walking, so women might want to avoid delicate sandals. Also, the tour content is somewhat subdued (more suitable for adults), so those with small children might enjoy places like the Churaumi Aquarium much more. The Yanbaru Kuina was just sitting in the corner and hardly moved.

沖縄6回目で、ついにやんばるに行けました。
雨だと魅力半減なツアーなので、なかなか申し込めませんでした。
当日は晴れたり曇ったりでしたが、雨は降らず助かりました。

国頭港食堂の周辺では海がとてもきれいに見えます。
食事を手早く済ませて、写真を撮っている方が多かったです。

大石林山はそこそこ歩くので、女性は華奢なサンダルは避けた方がいいかもしれません。
あと結構地味目（大人向け）なツアー内容なので、小さな子供連れの方は美ら海水族館などの方がずっと楽しめると思います。
ヤンバルクイナは隅っこでじっとしていてほぼ動きませんでした。

Last year, I signed up for the Iriomote Mangrove Tour, but due to a typhoon, I was stuck in a hotel in Ishigaki for three days, which was quite frustrating. This time, we set off under uncertain skies, but despite occasional downpours, when the sun peeked through, the mangrove forest reflected on the water's surface was enchanting. The guide provided clear explanations, allowing us to have a wonderful time.

It was my first experience seeing water buffalo up close, and I was overwhelmed by their impressive horns while swaying gently as we crossed the sea—it was a rare and enjoyable experience. I'm grateful to the hardworking water buffalo!

The glass-bottom boat was also a first for me, and the grandchildren were thrilled to spot clownfish swimming among the sea anemones. We had a fulfilling day. Thank you to everyone who took care of us!

昨年も申し込んでいた西表マングローブツアー
台風で三日間石垣のホテル缶詰になってしまい悔しい思いで過ごしました。
今回も雲行き怪しい中での出発でしたが、時折りスコールがある中、晴れ間が出ると水面に移るマングローブの森も幻想的で、ガイドの方がわかりやすく案内してくださって素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。
水牛を：間近で見るのも初めてで、立派な角に圧倒されながらゆらゆら揺られて海を渡る貴重な体験も楽しかったです。
健気に働く水牛たちに感謝！
グラスボートも初めての体験で、イソギンチャクの間で泳いでいるカクレクマノミを見つけて孫たちは大喜び、充実した１日を過ごすことができました。
お世話になった皆様ありがとうございました

It was my first time seeing such a starry sky, and I was moved. I saw shooting stars several times. The explanations were very easy to understand and enjoyable, sparking my interest in the stars. Thank you very much. I definitely want to recommend this to everyone!

こんな満天の星空を観るのははじめてで、感動しました。流れ星も何度となく流れていました。
解説がとてもわかりやすく楽しく、星に興味が湧くお話でした。
ありがとうございました。
皆さんにも是非オススメしたいです！

I participated in this course packed with popular tourist spots, thinking it would be perfect for children visiting Okinawa for the first time. It was my first time at Manza Beach as well, and I was moved by the breathtaking view. The children sparkled with excitement as they looked, listened, and experienced each tourist spot, making it a wonderful experience for them. Additionally, the bus guide's stories along the way were fascinating and educational. While the time spent at each landmark was a bit tight, it was great to be able to visit so many attractions in just one day within the limited travel schedule. I created wonderful memories. Thank you very much to the driver and the guide.

人気の観光地がギュッと詰まったコースで、沖縄が初めての子供たちにピッタリだと思い参加させて頂きました。万座毛は私自身も初めてだったので、絶景に感動しました。子供たちはどの観光スポットでも目をキラキラさせながら見たり聞いたり体験したり、とても良い経験になりました。また、道中でのバスガイドさんのお話も興味深く、勉強になりました。各名所の滞在時間は少しタイトではありますが、限られた旅の日程の中で、沢山の観光名所を一日で巡れるのはとても良かったです。素敵な思い出ができました。ドライバーさん、ガイドさん本当にありがとうございました。

I've been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first time kayaking. I felt a bit nervous but also excited when getting on the boat. As we smoothly glided to the middle of the river, I enjoyed the refreshing breeze and the sound of chirping birds. I even heard a Japanese bush warbler singing. We saw mudskippers, banyan trees, and even a mongoose! I wanted to go a little further, but reluctantly turned back... At the very end, my partner wobbled while getting off the boat and ended up getting splashed! I recommend bringing a full change of clothes. It was a fun experience, thank you!

沖縄は何度も遊びに来たけれど、カヤックは初めて。乗船するときは、ちょっとドキドキ、でもワクワク☺️
川の真ん中にスーッと進むと、気持ち風と、聞こえてくる鳥のさえずり。ウグイスも鳴いてるわ。
トビハゼに、ガジュマル、マングースまで❗️
もー少し向こうまだ行きたいなぁ、と後ろ髪引かれながらもＵターンで戻り…
最後の最後に、相方が下船する際にふらつき、浸水っ(￣^￣) 着替えは、全身分お待ちすることをオススメします。
楽しい経験、ありがとー

The guide's explanations were easy to understand and great. Everyone adhered to the meeting time, so we were able to stick to the schedule as planned.

ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく良かった
集合時間も参加者の皆さんがきちんと守っていたので予定通りの時間でスケジュール通りにこなせて良かった。

I would have appreciated it if the guidance could have been provided a bit later. The staff were very kind, which was great, but I thought the price was a bit high considering the value.

もう少し、時間が遅く案内してもらえると
よかったです、
スタッフの方はとても親切でよかったのですが、
対価で考えると高いかなぁと思いました

I rode the water buffalo that often appears in tourist posters when traveling from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. It was high tide on the way there, but the water buffalo did a great job crossing the sea. Surrounded by a relaxing landscape, I truly enjoyed the essence of "Okinawa" while listening to the sound of the sanshin and the song "Asadoya Yunta."

On Taketomi Island, you can also ride a water buffalo cart through the old streets of the historic village surrounded by stone walls, while learning about the island's history from the guide.

This tour is very convenient as it includes all transportation between the islands. You can choose how to spend your time on Taketomi Island as an option, and I found the water buffalo cart and rental bicycles to be great choices. After exploring the old village, I was able to ride a rental bicycle to the beach with star sand before heading back to the ferry, making the most of the entire day. I highly recommend it!

　よく観光ポスターに掲載されている海の中を渡る水牛は、西表島から由布島に行く時に乗りました。行きは満潮でしたが、水牛さんも頑張って海の中を渡ってくれました。のんびりした風景の中、三線の音に合わせ安里屋ゆんたを聴きながらまさにゆったりした「沖縄」を満喫できました。
　そして、竹富島でも、石垣に囲まれた旧村の古い街並みの中を水牛車に乗って島の歴史やなりたちをガイドさんからお聞きしながら、観光できます。
　このツアーでは、それぞれの島での移動も全てセットされているので、とても便利です。
　竹富島での過ごし方は、オプションで、選べますが、水牛車とレンタサイクルが良かったです。旧村を回った後、帰りの船までの時間にレンタサイクルで星砂のある浜辺まで遊びに行く事もできて一日中余す事なく楽しめたので、オススメします。

The course fulfilled my wish to ride an ox cart for both the island tour of Taketomi Island and the sea transfer to Yufu Island. The lunch was a bento box filled with Okinawan cuisine; it was cold but still quite edible. The sightseeing time on Yufu Island felt a bit short, but considering the entire itinerary, it was understandable. However, after arriving at Taketomi Island, I found it difficult to locate the microbus for transfers, as the staff waiting a little distance away didn't have any signs, which led to some confusion.

竹富島の島内観光も、由布島までの海上の移動もどちらも牛車に乗りたい、という希望が叶ったコースでした。
お昼ごはんも沖縄らしい料理が詰め合わせになったお弁当で、冷えてましたが割と食べれました。由布島での観光時間は足りないくらいでしたが、すべての行程を考えれば仕方ないかな、と。
ただ、竹富島に着いてから移動のマイクロバスが分かりにくく、看板とかも持ってないスタッフが少し離れたところに待機してるのを見つけられず右往左往しました。

The mangrove tour in Iriomote, the water buffalo experience, and the glass-bottom boat in Taketomi Island are all activities that can be quite challenging to experience individually. However, with the tour, everything flowed smoothly and we were able to enjoy it without wasting any time.

While interacting with my grandchildren, who are university and high school students, we talked about things we usually don’t discuss, and I found myself thinking that this trip with the three of us might be the first and last. I was just looking at their happy faces.

Thank you very much.

西表でのマングローブ遊覧、水牛体験、竹富島でのグラスボート、個人で行くと中々全部を体験するのは大変だと思いますが、ツアーでは時間配分など全て流れる用に進み無駄なく楽しめました。
大学生、高校生の孫とも自然に触れながら普段は話さない様な話しもしながら、3人旅行は最初で最後かなと思いながら、楽しんでる顔をみつめていました。
ありがとうございました。

I don't have much familiarity with the area and I'm not good at driving in unfamiliar places, so I was able to easily enjoy sightseeing at Okinawa's attractions with this bus tour.

土地勘も無く、不慣れな土地で車の運転するのが苦手なので、こちらのバスツアーで沖縄の観光名所巡りが楽々楽しめました。

During our trip to Okinawa, my wife really wanted to go surfing, so I reluctantly agreed to go.

I didn't think I would be able to stand up even once since I'm not particularly athletic, but the instructor taught us patiently, and I was able to ride the waves multiple times. The time flew by, and it was truly enjoyable. I definitely want to do it again.

沖縄旅行にて、奥さんがどうしてもサーフィンに行きたいとの事で、渋々行くこととなりました。

そこまで運動神経が良いということもないので、1度も立ち上がれずに終わるのかなと思っていましたが、
インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えて下さり、無事何度も乗ることが出来ました。
あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまい、本当に楽しかったです。是非またやりたいと思います。

Overall schedule was good but surprisingly when I got on the bus, the guide started to talk in Japanese only unlike the brochure saying that there would be English and Korean provided which I am comfortable with any of those. So I asked an audio translator and it didn’t work properly at all because of the poor wifi system. So it was disappointing experience although the course itself was pretty good. I truly recommend that you could provide a decent translator.

Before my trip, I looked up the ferry schedules and the bus times on Ishigaki Island, and I considered visiting three islands without booking a tour, but I'm glad I decided to book one. Since it was my first time on Ishigaki Island, I had a lot of things I wanted to do, so it was great to have many experiences efficiently.

Although I wasn't particularly interested in mangroves, the information shared during the cruise about them was very intriguing, so I'm glad I participated. In the future, every time I see clams, I will probably remember, "Is this the same as that?" (≧∇≦)

I also got to ride the water buffalo cart I had always wanted to try, and I felt warm and fuzzy listening to the gentle storytelling of the grandfather and the young man, while moving at the water buffalo's pace. Since I usually live my life keeping an eye on the time, it was refreshing and fun to go at the water buffalo's speed (〃▽〃).

旅行前に船の時間や石垣島のバスの時間も調べ、ツアーに申し込まずに3島めぐりをする事も考えてみたのですが、申し込んで良かったです。
初めての石垣島なのでしたい事もたくさんあったので、効率良くたくさんの体験が出来て良かったです。
マングローブは特に興味は無かったものの、クルーズ中にマングローブについて色々お話しして下さった内容はとても興味深かったので、参加出来て良かったです。
今後、シジミを見る度に「これがあれと同じ⁇」と思い出す事でしょう(≧∇≦)
念願の水牛車にも乗れ、おじいやお兄さんの優しい語り口調にほっこりしながら水牛さんのご機嫌次第のスピードでの移動も良いものですね。
いつも時間を気にして生活しているので、水牛さん次第というのが新鮮で楽しかったです(〃▽〃)

My spouse and I participated and went kayaking together. Since it was our first experience kayaking, we were a bit anxious at first, but the guide's explanations were clear, and we quickly got used to maneuvering the kayak. The guide was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem of the river we navigated, allowing us to learn deeply about rare plants and animals, making it a truly valuable experience.

We participated in mid-August, which was a hot time, so I think wearing a hat and sunscreen is necessary to protect yourself from the sun, but it was a great workout. Participants should also consider waterproofing measures for their smartphones, as the lower half of your body might get wet.

We navigated quite a distance, but at a comfortable pace with breaks, so it wasn't too tiring, and there was a great sense of accomplishment. I was also happy that the guide took photos of me that I couldn't have captured myself. Many of the other participants were polite, and even when our kayaks bumped into each other, we helped each other with smiles and had no unpleasant experiences.

I would like to participate again. Next time, I want to join in the evening to experience a different atmosphere. Thank you very much.

私は夫婦で参加し、2人でカヤックに乗りました。カヤックは、2人とも初体験だったので、少し最初は不安でしたが、ガイドさんの説明がわかりやすく、すぐにカヤックを操縦するのに慣れました。そして、ガイドさんがカヤックで航行した川の生態系をとても熟知していたので、珍しい動植物について深く知ることが出きて、大変貴重な体験となりました。

参加したのは８月中旬という暑い時期だったので、炎天下から身を守るために帽子と日焼け止めは必要だと思いますが、大変良い運動になりました。参加される人は、下半身は濡れるかもしれないので、スマホとかを水から守る防水対策は必要かと思います。

結構の距離を航行するのですが、休み休みの無理のないペースであまり疲れないし、とても達成感がありました。ガイドさんが自分では撮れないような私の写真を撮影してくれたのも嬉しかったです。他の参加者の人も礼儀正しい人が多く、お互いのカヤックがぶつかってしまっても、笑顔で助け合い、嫌な思いをひとつもしなかったです。

また参加してみたいです。次回は夕方とかに参加して、また違う雰囲気を味わってみたいです。ありがとうございました。

It seems there are cheaper plans available for direct bookings. While it says "VELTRA's activities are at the best price," I contacted them just to check, but they only introduced me to other plans, and the prices for those plans remained high.

直接予約した方が安いプランも有るようです。
「VELTRAのアクティビティはベストプライス」と有りますが、一応連絡してみたのですが、他のプランを紹介頂くだけで、そのプラン自体は高いままでした。

Instructor Tenshin provided a thorough guide, making it easy to enjoy the experience. My 3-year-old was even given a small paddle, and it looked like they were having a great time! ╰(*´︶`*)╯
