All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

We participated with our one-year-old son, my husband, and my grandparents, making a group of five. The transportation by boat and bus was comfortable with air conditioning, and since we were moving while enjoying wonderful scenery, it wasn't tiring at all. We also had the flexibility to take bathroom breaks whenever needed, which was great for my grandparents (in their 60s) and our one-year-old son, allowing us to have plenty of time.

Iriomote Island was the main focus of the cruise. Yubu Island was centered around the water buffalo cart and lunch break. (Yubu Island itself is a subtropical botanical garden, and we could explore freely within the time limit, but it was hot, so we couldn't wander for long. The lunch was a regular bento box.)

Taketomi Island was mainly for sightseeing. We debated between cycling around the island or taking a water buffalo cart tour, but choosing to rent bicycles was the right decision. We had the freedom to use our time as we wished, and during our cycling time, we opted for a self-funded water buffalo cart tour. It was hot, and since our child was small, we decided to take the 5 PM boat back, but I think taking the last boat at 5:40 PM would have allowed enough time for sightseeing and breaks on the island.

It was a day that flew by in no time.

１歳の息子と夫婦、祖父母の５人で参加しました。
船やバスでの移動は、冷房が効いていて快適でしたし、素晴らしい景色を眺めながらの移動なので苦にならずさほど疲れませんでした。合間合間で、自由にトイレ休憩もできるので祖父母（６０代）や１歳の息子がいても時間に余裕があります。
西表島はクルーズがメイン。
由布島は水牛車とランチ休憩がメイン。（由布島は、島自体が亜熱帯植物園になっていて時間内で自由散策ができましたが、暑かったので長時間は散策できませんでした。ランチは、お弁当で普通です。）
竹富島は島内観光がメイン。レンタサイクル観光にしようか水牛車観光にしようかコースを迷いましたが、レンタサイクルにして正解でした。時間が自由に使え、そのサイクリングの時間の中で自費で水牛車観光をしました。暑く、子供が小さかったのもあり帰りの船の時間を１７時にしましたが、最終の１７：４０にすれば島内観光や休憩も含め十分だと思います。

あっという間の１日です。

The flexibility of the tour company was a great help! I really wanted to visit Hateruma Island on the same day as this tour, so I thought I’d give it a shot and asked if the original schedule could be changed, even though it was tight. They kindly agreed to make the changes. This tour company must be really good at communication!

Actually, the weather wasn't that great, but they adapted well, and I was most satisfied that I could go to the places I wanted to visit. Thank you very much.

ツアー会社さんの融通の利きがよかったので助かりました！
どうしてもこのツアーと同日に波照間島へも行きたいと思っていたので、ダメ元でぱつぱつなスケジュールを考えて、当初のスケジュールが変更可能か聞いてみたところ、快く変更してもらえました。きっとこちらのツアー会社さんはホウレンソウが上手くやれているんでしょうね！
実は天気はさほど良くはなかったのですが、臨機応変に対応して頂いて、行きたかったところに行けたのが何より満足でした。
ありがとうございました。

I had a great time riding the water buffalo and exploring Taketomi Island by rental bicycle. Since I arrived on the day of my visit and didn't have much time, the option to choose a plan that included both the water buffalo ride and the rental bicycle was very helpful! The price was also a great deal compared to others, and I was very satisfied!!

乗りたかった水牛を乗車し、レンタサイクルで竹富島を周遊できとても楽しかったです。
到着日へ行った為、時間があまりとれない中、水牛＋レンタサイクルとチョイス出来るプランはとても助かりました！お値段も他と比べてお得で、大満足です!!

It was my first time on Taketomi Island. The scenery was wonderful, just as I saw in the guidebook!!

I was glad to ride around the island on a rental bicycle and also to experience the water buffalo cart, which I was interested in (＾Ｏ＾).

初めての竹富島でした。
ガイドブックで見た、そのままの
風景が素晴らしかったです！！

レンタサイクルで島を走ったり
興味があった水牛車にも乗る事が
出来て良かったです（＾Ｏ＾）

I rode a water buffalo cart on Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island. I was amazed by the intelligence of the buffalo! The guide's sanshin music and stories were enjoyable as well. The botanical garden on Yubu Island was wonderful, but it was hot, so I couldn't take my time to explore it, which was a shame.

西表島と竹富島で水牛車に乗りました。牛さんの賢さにびっくり！！
そしてガイドさんの三線やお話は楽しかったです。
由布島の植物園もすばらしかったのですが、暑くてゆっくり見れなかったのが残念。

I had to leave the tour midway due to my flight schedule. During that time, I was deeply touched by the kindness of our guide, Mr. Arakaki, and our driver, Mr. Kinjō. I am very grateful to them.
The tour content was also fulfilling, and the guidance during the drive was very educational. I am extremely satisfied with the value for the price. I discussed with my friends about wanting to participate in the tour all the way to the end once more.

フライト便の都合でツアー途中で離脱させていただきました。その際、ガイドさんの新垣さん、運転手の金城さんには大変親切にしていただき、感激しました。感謝しています。
ツアー内容も充実していて、車中のガイドも大変勉強になりました。料金に対しての内容の充実度も大満足です。もう一度最後までツアーに参加したいと友人と話し合いました。

The water buffalo cart to Yufushima is quick, but it became my favorite memory☆ You get to ride different water buffaloes on the way there and back, so you can enjoy it twice!!

由布島への水牛車はあっという間だけど、いちばん思い出になりました☆行きと帰りで違う水牛に乗るので、２度楽しめます！！

Since it was after Golden Week, there were few visitors, and both the glass boat and the water buffalo cart were almost private. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the sights at a leisurely pace.

ゴールデンウィーク明けだったので利用者が少なく、グラスボートも水牛車もほぼ貸切状態でした。おかげでゆっくり見物できました。

It was a plan with pick-up from the hotel, but I was surprised to receive a call the day before saying that the pick-up was no longer available and to come by taxi instead. Other than that, there were no issues. The water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island seemed to be causing some disputes on the island, and I was shocked by the unusual situation. You really can't know until you go and see for yourself...

ホテルから送迎付きのプランでしたが、前日の電話にで送迎できなくなったのでタクシーでお越しください、という連絡には驚きましたが、それ以外は問題なかったです。竹富島の水牛観光は島内でもめているようで、異常な様子にびっくりしました。行ってみないとわからないものですね。。

I participated alone, but I was able to visit all the places I wanted to in one day, which would have been difficult to do on my own. Thanks to that, I was able to easily visit other places like the limestone caves on foot. I'm glad I participated.

ひとりで参加しましたが、自分で行くのは大変なところが行きたいところ1日でまわれました。おかげでほかの鍾乳洞など簡単に行ける所だけ自分の足で行きました。参加して良かったと思います。

I arrived on a flight at 2:30 PM, and although it was a rush, I was able to easily enjoy the remote islands. In addition, I added a 1-hour bike rental and was able to fully enjoy the area on my own.

14時半にフライト到着して、駆け足だったけど、これなら離島を簡単に満喫。これに加えてレンタサイクル1hを自分でつけて党内を満喫できました

The content of the tour itself was good. The water buffalo cart was also nice. The lunch wasn't bad either. However, we had to change vehicles multiple times in one day, and there were staff members at each stop giving instructions for the next ride, which made it feel rushed. Despite being told to board quickly, I had to give up on using the restroom and got on the vehicle, but we didn't depart right away. It felt too much like an assembly line, and since there were older people in the group, I would have appreciated more consideration, such as restroom guidance.

ツアーの内容自体は良かったです。水牛車も良かったです。昼食も悪くなかったです。ただ、一日に何度も乗り物を乗り換えるのですが、降りた先に係員が居て、次に乗る案内があり、直ぐに乗らないとならないから慌ただしい。そのわりに直ぐに乗ってと言われ、トイレに行っておきたいのを諦めて乗車してるのに、なかなか出発しない。 流れ作業すぎず、年配の方も居るのでトイレの案内などの気配りが欲しい。

I have been to Okinawa dozens of times, but I never had the opportunity to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. While looking for something to do, I found this tour. The price, which includes the aquarium entrance fee along with visits to the butterfly garden, pineapple park, and Ryukyu glass, offers great cost performance.

We had a three-hour stay at the aquarium, which was very meaningful. The guide's explanations were excellent, and the driver was also very considerate, making the experience very worthwhile.

沖縄には何十回も来ているが、中々、美ら海水族館に行く機会が無かったので、
何か無いかと探したところ、このツアーがありました。
水族館の入場料込み＋蝶々園、パイナップルパーク、琉球ガラスを回ってのこの値段は、コストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。
水族館でも３時間の滞在時間があり、有意義でした。

ガイドさんの説明も良く、運転手さんにもいろいろと気遣って頂き、非常に有効に活用できたと思います。

I was interested in all the islands, but since I didn't know which one was best, I thought this course that allows you to visit multiple islands at once would be great! In the end, I think it was a good choice. The mangrove boat ride was honestly a bit underwhelming... It was fun at first to hear the explanations and see the rare birds, but I got a bit bored after a while. We turned back early due to low tide... However, the bus driver's guide during our travels on Iriomote was unexpectedly enjoyable and very good. The water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was excellent. Being able to ride it twice while listening to the sanshin was quite a rare experience, and the relaxed atmosphere was wonderful. In Taketomi, we chose the glass-bottom boat. We were able to see beautiful coral reefs and fish, and the kids were thrilled.

Although I expected it, I still felt a bit rushed, and I think next time I would like to take my time exploring just one island. However, for us as first-timers, I think this course that included everything from the remote islands was a great choice.

どの島にも興味があるけど、どこがいいかわからないから、一気に周れるこのコースで！と思いました。結果、よかったと思います。マングローブのボートは正直、イマイチでした…。説明を聞けて、珍しい鳥を見る事ができて、最初は楽しいですが、やや飽きました。干潮時で早めに引き返したんですけどね…。西表で移動の時に乗ったバスの運転手さんのガイドが予想外に楽しく、とてもよかったです。由布島へ渡る水牛車はとてもよかったです。往復２回も乗れて、サンシンを聞きながらというのはなかなか貴重な体験で、のんびりした空気が流れて素敵でした。竹富ではグラスボートを選びました。美しいサンゴ礁や魚を見る事が出来て子供達は大喜びでした。
予想していたとは言え、やはり慌ただしさを感じ、次回は１島だけをゆっくり見たいな、と思いました。しかし初めての私たちにとっては、離島の全てを盛り込んだようこなコースでよかったと思います。

This is a recommended course for those visiting the Yaeyama Islands for the first time. The mangrove tour on Iriomote Island may not allow boats to go upstream during low tide, so it might be a good idea to check the tide schedule. Riding a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island while listening to the sanshin and lively conversation was very enjoyable. I also rode a water buffalo cart on Taketomi Island, which had its own unique charm and kept things interesting. The bus tour on Taketomi Island was short, but I was able to search for star sand and enjoy the beautiful sea. I thought visiting three islands in one day would be hectic, but it actually wasn't the case.

初めて八重山諸島に行く方におすすめなコースです。西表島のマングローブ観光は干潮時は上流の方まで船が入れないようなので、潮の満ち干きを確認した方がよいかも知れません。由布島へ水牛車に乗って三線と軽快なトークを聞きながらのんびりと渡ることができ、とても良かったです。竹富島でも水牛車に乗りましたが、由布島とはまた違った良さがあり、飽きなかったです。竹富島のバス観光も時間は短かったですが、星砂を探したり、きれいな海を見ることができました。１日で３島をめぐるのは慌ただしいかと思っていましたが、実際にはそんなことはありませんでした。

The mangrove boat tour, the water buffalo cart, and cycling around Taketomi Island were all very interesting. I think I enjoyed them more in a shorter time than if I had explored on my own. However, it was rainy and windy all day, and it was a coldness that you wouldn't expect in Okinawa. I believe I could have enjoyed it more if the weather had been better.

マングローブのボートも 水牛 車も、 竹富島のサイクリングも どれも とても面白かった。 個人で回るよりも 短い時間でたのしめたと思う。 でも1日中 雨風が強く、 沖縄とは思えない寒さ だった。 天気がよければ もっと楽しめたと思う。

The guide's assistance was very good.
The butterfly garden, pineapple park, and glass factory tour were not that great.
I participated in the tour with a 2-year-old, and I thought I might be able to use a seat for free, but despite it being an off-season weekday, it was crowded, and I had to hold my child. It was tough. I regretted not reserving a seat for the toddler.

ガイドさんの案内はとてもよかったです。
ツアーの蝶々園、パイナップルパーク、ガラスの見学はイマイチでした。
2歳児を連れてのツアー参加でしたが、無料であわよくば席が使えるかも？なんて思ってましたが、オフシーズン平日にもかかわらず、混んであり、抱っこで乗車。きつかったです。幼児席を予約しておけばよかったと後悔しました。

The tour price at 4,700 yen with all entrance fees inclusive plus one free meal is unbeatable. What was unexpected was a free glassware gift and pineapple ice cream! I do recommend the tour to my friends. However, the GPS-guide device does not work well at all. Although it comes with English, Chinese, or Korean, the recordings are only listenable intermittently, which may prevent international travelers from enjoying the journey in full.

We visited Ishigaki Island for a 2-night, 3-day trip with our family of four. On the first and third days, we used a rental car to explore Ishigaki Island. On the second day, we participated in a three-island tour. There was also a shuttle service between the port and the hotel, which made my husband very happy as he could enjoy some drinks. I heard that the best season is until the rainy season starts in May, and we were lucky with the weather. During the Iriomote Island mangrove cruise, we encountered a crowned eagle, which was very exciting. The water buffalo cart on Yubu Island is especially recommended. We sang along while listening to the sanshin. (I heard some guides can't play, though! Haha.) On Taketomi Island, we chose a glass-bottom boat. The coral reef at a depth of 10 meters was beautiful. The weather on the islands can change quickly, and the forecasts are often inaccurate. It's important to prepare for the heat, and a windbreaker parka is essential. I forgot mine, so I bought a parka at Shimamura in Ishigaki on the first day. (Haha.)

2泊3日の予定で家族４人で石垣島を訪れました。初日と3日目はレンタカーを利用して石垣島観光。2日目に３島めぐりコースに参加しました。港とホテル間の送迎もあり、主人はアルコールも飲めるとご満悦。梅雨入りの５月までがベストシーズンと伺い天気にも恵まれラッキーでした。西表島マングローブクルーズでは、かんむり鷲に遭遇して大興奮。由布島の水牛車は特におすすめです。三線を聞きながら一緒に口ずさみました。（弾けないガイドさんもいるらいしですが　笑　）竹富島ではグラスボートを選択。水深１０ｍの深さのサンゴ礁がきれいでした。島の天候は変わりやすく天気予報も当たらないことが多いそうです。暑さ対策も必要ですが、風よけパーカーは必需品です。忘れたため、初日に石垣島しまむらでパーカー買いました。（笑）

We traveled to Okinawa as a family of four. The kids wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I did some research and found the Family Line and quickly made a reservation. However, on February 15, there was heavy snow in the Kanto region, and we couldn't leave our house. Transportation was paralyzed, and flights were canceled, so we postponed to March. We canceled all our reservations, and I was happy that Alan1 quickly handled the cancellations. For our rescheduled trip in March, we applied for the same course. The guide from Rad Tourism was excellent. I appreciated the pick-up from the nearby hotel, and the fun guide made the entire day's trip enjoyable. We encountered beautiful butterflies, stunning flowers, and wonderful fish, making it a tour that left us 150% satisfied.

家族４人で沖縄へ。美ら海水族館へ子供達が行きたいというので調べたらファミリー号が見つかり早速予約。ところが２月１５日は関東地方大雪で、家から出られず、交通機関も麻痺、飛行機も飛ばず３月へ延期。すべての予約をキャンセル、alan1もすばやくキャンセル対応してくれうれしかった。3月振り替え旅行。同じコースを申し込んだ。ラド観光のガイドさんは非常によかった。近くのホテルへのピックアウトもうれしいが、楽しいガイドで1日の旅全体を楽しめた。美しい蝶、美しい花、素晴らしい魚たちと出会え１５０％満足できたツアーでした。

My husband and I had some time off together, so we decided to take a spontaneous 2-night, 3-day trip. Since it was our first visit, we joined this tour.

Iriomote Island was at high tide, and we were able to go all the way to the Sakishima Suo tree on the mangrove cruise along the Nakama River. The bus ride from Ohara Port to Yufu Island was quick, thanks to the driver's entertaining explanations and folk songs.

On Yufu Island, we took a water buffalo cart pulled by the oldest buffalo, "Yuta," and enjoyed a leisurely ride while listening to the sanshin. On the way back, we rode with the younger buffalo, "Genki," and quickly reached the shore. It was fun to learn about the buffalo's personalities.

On Taketomi Island, we chose a bus tour and a water buffalo cart. The buffalo "Yui" skillfully navigated the narrow roads while considering the turning radius, and we were able to relax while being soothed by the sound of the sanshin played by our guide.

I highly recommend this for first-time visitors and those with limited time.

旦那と休みが合い,急きょ2泊3日の弾丸で行くことになりました。
初めて訪れるので,このツアーに参加しました。
　西表島はちょうど満潮で仲間川のマングローブクルーズでは
サキシマスオウノキまで行くことができました。
　大原港から由布島までのバスの送迎も運転手さんの楽しい説明や民謡で
あっという間でした。
　由布島の水牛車は,一番年上の水牛「由太」君で,のんびり三線を
聞きながら向かいました。帰りは若い水牛の「元気」君であっという間に
岸に着きました。水牛の性格もわかって楽しかったです。
　竹富島ではバス観光と水牛車を選択しましたが,水牛の「結」君が狭い道を
内輪差を考えながら上手に曲がり,また担当のお兄さんの三線の音に癒されながら
のんびり過ごすことができました。
　初めて訪れる人,時間のない人にはおススメです。

I didn't have a driver's license in Okinawa and was planning to travel by bus, but I'm really glad I found this bus tour package. There's no waiting time for the bus, so it's very time-efficient.

沖縄では免許を持ってなくてバスで旅行するつもりでしたが、このバス旅行商品があって本当によかったと思います。バスを待つ時間などがなくて、時間的にすごくお得です。

Since we didn't rent a car, I participated with my elderly mother. The deciding factor for our booking was the shuttle service to our hotel. The itinerary felt a bit too packed, and I wish we could have spent more time at the Churaumi Aquarium. However, thanks to the consideration of our guide and driver for my mother, who uses a cane, we were able to keep up with the long tour until the end. We were also blessed with good weather, which allowed us to create wonderful memories.

レンタカーを借りなかったため、年老いた母と２人で参加しました。
宿泊しているホテルまで送迎していだだけるのが申し込みの決め手になりました。
内容的には、ちょっと詰め込み過ぎ感もあり、もう少しちゅら海水族館での滞在時間を増やして欲しいなぁと。
ただ、ガイドさんやドライバーさんが杖を使っている母に配慮してくださったお陰で
長丁場の観光もどうにか最後までついていくことができました。
お天気にも恵まれて、いい想い出作りが出来ました。

とても良い選択！良い~~~~良い！！！！良い~~~~~良い良い良い良い

very good chiose! good~~~~good!!!!good~~~~~good good good good

First, we took a tour of the mangrove forest along the Nakama River in Iriomote Island. There was a stop where we could get off the boat to explore. Surprisingly, there was quite a bit of wind on the boat, so a light jacket or a shawl comes in handy. After disembarking, we headed to Yubu Island while enjoying the relaxed natural scenery of the island from the bus window.

After crossing the sea to Yubu Island by water buffalo cart, we had free time on the island, but be sure to listen carefully for the meeting time and the number of the return water buffalo cart. It can get crowded, and if you miss your ride, you might have to walk back the same way as the water buffalo... (laughs)

On Yubu Island, during our free time, we had lunch individually, and the tour included a bento box featuring local Okinawan specialties. At the entrance of the same lunch venue, there are options for soba and soft serve ice cream, so if you want a warm meal, you can purchase it yourself.

From the Manta Hill in the park, you can access the sandy beach, so definitely stretch your legs and head to the coast!

We returned to Iriomote Island by water buffalo cart and then moved to our final destination, Taketomi Island, by boat. I chose the water buffalo cart tour for the activity, and for some reason, the water buffalo had an adorable charm that was hard to resist!

Swaying in the water buffalo cart while listening to traditional songs allowed me to completely forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and I had the best time.

まずは西表島でマングローブ林の仲間川遊覧をしました。途中船を降りての見学もあります。船では意外と風があったので、羽織れる上着やストールなどが重宝します。下船後は、バスで島のゆったりとした自然を車窓から眺めながら、由布島へ向かいます。
水牛車で海を渡って由布島に行ったあとは、島内では自由行動ができますが、集合時間と復路の水牛車の番号をしっかり聞き逃さないようにしてください。混み合っているので、乗り遅れると、水牛と同じ道を徒歩で戻ることになるかもです…（笑）
由布島では、自由行動時間の間に昼食を各自とるのですが、ツアー付帯の昼食は沖縄の特産品が折り込まれたお弁当でした。同じ昼食会場の入り口には、そばやソフトクリームがあるので温かい食事をとりたいのであれば、各自で購入することも可能です。
園内にあるマンタの丘からは、砂浜に出ることができるので、是非海岸まで足を伸ばしてみたください！
再び水牛車で西表島に戻り、船にて最終目的地の竹富島に移動します。アクティビィティーは水牛車観光を選択しましたが、なぜか水牛が癖になる可愛らしさでした！
小唄を聞きながら水牛車に揺られると、完全に日常の慌ただしさを忘れることができ、最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

There are various packages available, and I think they are very reasonably priced and great. At first, I thought it might be a bit expensive, but after experiencing it, I don't think that's the case.

I was able to enjoy a lot of different things, so it was really good. It's much more economical to buy a set rather than purchasing items individually.

As a beginner in Okinawa, it was very good for me.

いろんなパックがあるけど、お手頃でとてもいいと思う。
最初は、ちょっと高いかな？と思ったけど、実際に体験するとそんなことないと思う。

いろんなものが楽しめたのでとてもよかった。
個別個別で買うよりセットなのでかなりお得です。

私は沖縄初心者だったので、とてもよかったです。

I thought it would be a busy tour around the three islands, but there was plenty of time, and it was very good. I wasn't expecting much for lunch, but it was quite a delicious bento. I want to plan a trip to another island.

3島忙しく回るツアーかと思っていましたが、時間の余裕もあり、とても良かったです。
お昼も期待してませんでしたが、かなり美味しいお弁当でした。
別の島へ行く予定を立てたくなりました。

It was my first time joining a tour alone, and I was quite nervous, but there was plenty of free time, which made it easy to enjoy.

一人でツアーに参加するのは初めてでドキドキものでしたが、フリータイムが多めに取ってあったので過ごしやすかったです。

I incorporated this plan into the middle of a busy 2-night, 3-day trip. I think it's a great tour for those who want to efficiently visit as many of the Yaeyama Islands as possible. It includes a mangrove cruise, a water buffalo cart ride, star sand, and beautiful seas, making it a great value. I also enjoyed the sightseeing information provided during the bus rides. On the other hand, for those who want to leisurely enjoy each island, I think it would be better to choose a tour that focuses on one island in depth. (I would like to do that the next time I visit Yaeyama.)

2泊3日というあわただしい旅行の中日にこのプランを組み込みました。
八重山の島をなるべく多く効率良く回りたい人には大変良いツアーだと思います。
マングローブクルーズ、水牛車、星砂、きれいな海すべて詰め込まれているのでお得だと思います。移動のバスでも観光案内が楽しめました。
その反面、一つ一つの島をゆっくり堪能したい人は１つの島をじっくり回るツアーにした方が良いと思います。（次に八重山に行く際はそうしたいと思います。）

I joined the tour with the desire to see the whale sharks at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, but I also enjoyed several other stops along the way.

After lunch at the Ryukyu Mura Butterfly Garden, we visited the butterfly garden. The Okinawa soba for lunch was decent, but considering the price, I felt it was a great value. It seems that butterflies are attracted to red, so if you're not fond of them, be cautious.

Next was the long-awaited Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium! The Ocean Expo Park, where the aquarium is located, also features a manatee pavilion, a sea turtle pavilion, the dolphin show with Okichan, and a playground for children. The park is very spacious, and for families like ours, three hours was not enough. Personally, I found the dolphin show to be more impressive than the one at Kamogawa Sea World, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Inside the aquarium, there was a large tank featuring three whale sharks and manta rays! It's amazing to see these dream fish up close without having to dive. It was truly moving.

After that, we enjoyed unlimited pineapple tasting at the Pineapple Park. We also visited the Glass Museum of the Forest, where we could see the Ryukyu glass workshop, which exceeded our expectations.

Overall, it was a very satisfying day, allowing us to efficiently and affordably explore the highlights without having to move around by rental car.

美ら海水族館でジンベエザメを見たい！という気持ちで参加したツアーですが、それ以外に立ち寄る場所も結構楽しめます。

琉宮城蝶々園では昼食後に蝶々園見学。昼食の沖縄そばの味はまずまずですが、この値段でランチも付いており、コストパフォーマンスが高く感じました。蝶は赤いものを身に着けていると集まってくるようなので、苦手な方はお気を付けあれ。

次は、待ちに待った美ら海水族館！水族館のある海洋博公園にはマナティ館、ウミガメ館、イルカのオキちゃん劇場、子供の遊び場などがあり、園内はとても広く、子連れの自分たちには3時間では足りないくらい。中でもイルカのショーは個人的には鴨川シーワールドよりも見応えがあると感じられるくらい、存分に楽しめました。水族館内ではデカイ水槽にジンベエザメ3匹とマンタのコラボレーション！ダイバー憧れの魚たちが潜らなくても簡単に見られる！感動ものです。

その後はパイナップルパークでパイナップル試食し放題。また森のガラス館では琉球ガラス工房の見学もでき、期待以上に楽しめました。

レンタカーなどで自分自身で移動するよりも効率よく安価に見どころを巡ることができ、大満足の1日でした。
