Okinawa
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。
Thank you very much for enjoying our bus tour. We are very pleased that our guide was able to provide you with great hospitality. We look forward to serving you again next time. Thank you!
この度は弊社のバスツアーを満喫して頂き大変ありがとうございます。
ガイドもお客様をおもてなし出来たこと大変うえれしく思っております。次回また機会がございましたらご利用お待ちしております。
ありがとうございました!
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。
Thank you very much for participating in our planned tour. We look forward to seeing you again if you have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island.
この度は弊社企画ツアーにご参加頂き誠に有難うございました。
また、石垣島に来島する機会がございましたら、宜しくお願いします。
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。)
Thank you very much for participating in our planned tour. If you have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, we look forward to serving you.
この度は弊社企画ツアーにご参加頂き誠に有難うございました。
また、石垣島に来島する機会がございましたら、宜しくお願いします。
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。
It was a family service trip, but I participated alone. The meal was included, there was a sightseeing guide along the way, and we had enough time to enjoy the aquarium, which made me satisfied. Since there is a lot of travel time, I think it would have been better if the information shown on the in-car monitor during the guide was closer to what was being discussed.
家族サービス号でしたが一人で参加しました。お食事もつき、道すがらの観光ガイドもあり、水族館も十分に楽しめる時間があり、満足しました。
移動の時間が多いので、ガイド時に車内のモニターで流す情報をもっとお話しされている内容に近いものだとより良かったと思います。
I participated on the second day of a two-night, three-day trip. Since time was limited, it was great that we could move around efficiently.
We arrived in Ishigaki Island in the evening, so we had time to go shopping in the city and enjoy a meal.
However, one downside was that the bus tour in Taketomi Island was scheduled with people returning on the previous ferry, which shortened our sightseeing time a bit as we had to coordinate with their schedule.
二泊三日の旅で、二日目に参加。
時間がない中だったので、効率的に回れて、良かったです。
夕方に石垣島に着くので、夜は街中まで買い物にも出かけられ、食事を楽しむ時間もありました。
ただ一点、竹富島のバス観光が、ひとつ前の船で帰る人たちと一緒だった為、その方たちと時間を合わせるかたちで、観光時間が少し短くなったのが残念でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our planned tour.
Regarding your feedback, it seems that the bus sightseeing time on Taketomi Island was a bit short. The usual departure time for the ferry for your course is at 4:00 PM, but if you returned on the earlier ferry at 3:00 PM, it appears there may have been some misunderstanding that caused inconvenience to you. I would like to confirm this with the local team.
この度は弊社企画ツアーにご参加頂き誠に有難うございました。
ご指摘頂きました、竹富島のバス観光時間が少し短くなったようですが、お客様の参加コースの船の時間が通常だと16時発の船となりますが、
その前の便が15時ですので15時の便で戻られているようであればなんらかの手違いでお客様にご迷惑をお掛けしていますので、
現地に確認したいと思います。
We participated as a couple. Due to the timing, we couldn't go upstream on the mangrove cruise in Iriomote in the morning because of low tide. We were able to relax quite a bit on Yubu Island, but afterwards, it felt like we were just rushing from one activity to another. It's a shame we didn't have more time outside of the cruise in Iriomote. The wind was strong and the waves were high, so I felt a bit nauseous on the glass-bottom boat in Taketomi Island. However, the scenery everywhere was amazing, and I went back to Taketomi Island the next day for a rematch!
夫婦2人で参加しました。時期的に、午前中は干潮で西表のマングローブクルーズは上流まで行けませんでした。由布島では割とのんびりすることができましたが、後はバタバタで乗り物ばかり乗っている印象です。西表ではクルーズ以外の時間が持てなかったのが残念です。風が強くて波が高かったので、竹富島のグラスボードは少し酔いました。でもどこも素晴らしい景色で、竹富島は翌日リベンジしました!
I participated at the beginning of September. Due to the bus being full, it took two hours to pick up guests from each hotel. I think those departing from the Southwest Resort Hotel should be prepared for this. Aside from the Churaumi Aquarium, the stops were more for meals and shopping rather than sightseeing. In the future, it might be better to reduce the number of shared pickups a bit more.
9月始めに参加しました。
バスが満員とのことで、各ホテルを回ってお客を迎えるのに、2時間もかかりました。
南西観光ホテルの発着の人は覚悟されたほうが良いと思います。
美ら海水族館以外は、観光と言うよりは、食事と買い物のための立ち寄りでした。
今後お迎えの混載はもう少し減らしたほうが良いのでは?
I discovered the Churaumi Family Service bus while researching vacation options in Okinawa from Korea. It was more affordable than other tour buses, allowing us to enjoy our trip comfortably. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be nice, which was convenient. Our guide, Mr. Higa, provided detailed information about the sightseeing spots, making for a great trip. I will recommend this to many friends in Korea. Thank you very much.
韓国から沖縄に休暇目的のために調査した中
美ら海家族サービス号を発見しました。
他のツアーバスよりも価格も安く、楽に旅を楽しむことができました。
天気が良くないかと心配したが、良い天気なので便利良かったし、
ガイドだったヒガさんが観光地を詳しく案内してくれ良い旅をすることができました。
韓国の友達と多くの紹介をいたします。
ありがとうございました。
I am Korean, and since I am traveling with my mother, we looked for and selected a tour. It doesn't seem very good for travelers who are not using rental cars. Both my mother and I were satisfied. ^^
私は韓国人であり、母親と二人の旅行なのでツアーを探して見て選択しました。
レンタカーを利用していない旅行者にはあまり良いようです。
母も私も満足しました。^^
It was great to be able to visit so many places with lunch included at this price. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was just right for us, as we could take our time for about three hours with our small children.
Above all, the shuttle service from the hotel made it convenient. Additionally, it was interesting to see different hotels as we visited various locations.
この値段で、昼食が付いてこれだけ回れてとても良かったです。美ら海水族館は、小さい子供連れだったので3時間ゆっくりできて丁度良かったです。
何よりホテルから送迎があるので楽でした。また、色々なホテルを回るので違うホテルの様子が見れて興味深かったです。
On July 29, I participated in a tour with my child. It was fully booked due to summer vacation, with many families joining. The reason I chose this tour was that they pick you up from each hotel, and I wanted to get off at the resort hotel on the way back, so I was looking for a tour like that and found one. It was a relief not to have to rent a car.
My child was looking forward to the Churaumi Aquarium as it was their first time in Okinawa, and we had nearly three hours of sightseeing time, during which we could also enjoy the dolphin show at a leisurely pace. The giant whale shark tank was indeed impressive. It was great to see it from above as well.
I initially thought the pineapple garden, butterfly house, and glass museum were just extras, but each of them turned out to be enjoyable. I was also happy to receive a little souvenir. The bus guide sang songs and shared fun stories, making it a wonderful memory of the trip. Thank you very much!
7月29日子供とツアー参加しました。
夏休みもあり、家族ずれなど、満席でした。
選んだ理由は、各ホテルピックアップしてくれるのと、帰りもリゾートホテルで下車したかったため、そういうツアーを探しており、見つけました。レンタカーがなくても、助かりました。
子供は初めての沖縄で、美ら海水族館を楽しみにしており、また、3時間近く見学時間があり、イルカショーもゆっくり見れました。
やはり、じんべいの水槽は圧巻でした。
上からも見れて、それも良かったです。
パイナップル園や、ちょうちょ館、ガラス館は、おまけのように思っていましたが、それぞれ、良かったです。
ちょこっとお土産も、うれしかったです。
バスガイドさんも、歌を歌ってくれたり、話も楽しかったです。旅のいい思い出になりました、ありがとうございました!!
I participated in the tour during Golden Week. Since I was scheduled to take the last bus home that day, I mentioned this when I got on the bus in the morning. I was told, "There is a high possibility that we won't make it on time due to traffic, but do you still want to go?" I had been looking forward to it, but at that point, my mood dropped. Although they were concerned about my return during the trip, I kept hearing, "It might be better to head to the airport on the bus at xx o'clock," and in the end, I couldn't enjoy myself at all.
I ended up leaving midway, took a taxi to the bus stop, and paid out of pocket to get to Naha. It cost me about 3000 yen extra, and I couldn't enjoy myself at all, wondering what it was all for...
The tour introduction mentioned that we would return to Naha around 7 PM, and I had anticipated some congestion and delays, thinking that having about two hours of buffer time would be fine. However, it seems that during the busy season, delays are significant. If they had written that, I would have reconsidered my application.
It's not that the guide's response was bad, but I think the information provided for the tour was insufficient. Those participating during the busy season should be cautious.
GWに参加しました。
当日の最終便で帰る予定だったので朝バスに乗る時にその旨伝えたところ、「渋滞で間に合わない可能性が高いですがそれでも乗りますか?」と言われました。
折角楽しみにしていたのに、この時点で気分は落ち込み、途中でも帰りを気にしてくださってのことではありますが「xx時のバスで空港へ向かった方がいいかも」と都度都度言われ、結局全然楽しめませんでした。
結局途中で離脱し、タクシーでバス停へ向かい、自腹で那覇へ。3000円くらい追加のお金がかかり、気分的にも全然楽しめず、何だったんだろうなぁ・・・と思いました。
ツアーの紹介では19時頃には那覇へ帰ってくるようなことがあり、こちらとしても多少の混雑や遅れを想定して2時間程度余裕があれば大丈夫だろうと予想して申し込んだのに、実際繁忙期は相当遅れるようです。
そう書いておいてくれれば申し込みも考えたのに。
ガイドさんなどの対応が悪かったわけでは決してないですが、ツアー説明として情報不十分だと思います。
繁忙期に参加する方はお気を付けください。
(On behalf of the tour operator, a comment from Alan1.net)
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and discomfort you experienced during your trip. While we did mention on the activity page that travel times may vary due to traffic conditions, we regret that we did not adequately consider participants during busy periods such as large holidays, and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused on the day. Following your feedback, we have added a note to the activity page indicating that arrival times in Naha City may be significantly delayed during busy periods. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.
Your comments will help improve the quality of our tours, and we will work with the tour operator to provide better service for future customers.
We hope you will consider using our services again.

In Okinawa, the Yui Rail only goes as far as Shuri, so if you want to go to other areas, renting a car is essential. However, driving in an unfamiliar place can be quite stressful, and the roads can get pretty congested. In that regard, this bus tour was great as it took us to notable spots and made things easy. The travel time was indeed long (departing from Omoromachi), but to keep us entertained, the guide provided sightseeing information along the way. Unfortunately, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm while at the aquarium, and we rushed through the pineapple farm, having extra time left over. If the weather had been good, 30 minutes would definitely not have been enough. I think waiting in line for the attractions would be quite a hassle. For the price, I think it was a great deal. The little souvenirs we received at each location were nice too. The guide was pleasant as well. I am very satisfied. Next time, I would like to join a bus tour to a different location.
沖縄にはゆいレールと言うモノレールが首里までしか出てないので
それ以外の地域に行きたければレンタカーを借りるのが必至です。
が、慣れない土地での運転はかなりのストレス。しかも、結構道が混んでます。
その点このバスツアーはめぼしい場所に連れてってくれて楽でした。
移動時間は確かに長かった(おもろまち出発)ですけど、飽きないように
ガイドさんが道々バスからの観光案内もしてくれました。
あいにく、水族館にいる途中で豪雨に見舞われまして、パイナップル園は
駆け足で時間が余る位でした。天気が良かったら確かに30分では足りない
でしょう。乗り物に乗って回るのが順番待ちすごくなると思うので。
値段の割にはとてもお得だと思います。
各場所でもらえるちょっとしたお土産も良かったですよ。
ガイドさんも感じが良かったし。たいへん満足です。
今度は別の場所に行くバスツアーに参加してみたいものです。
The aquarium tour is not bad, but we visited a pineapple farm on the way back, and 30 minutes there was too short. Additionally, the 3 hours at the aquarium was too long.
P.S.: To Alan 1 Net, regarding the payment invoice, I paid at the local FamilyMart the day before the due date, yet I received an email from your company stating that today is the final day, which upset me. Please do not send any more emails from your company in the future.
水族館のツアーは悪くないけど、帰る途中にパイナップル園
を回りましたが、園内での時間が30分は短すぎる、尚 水族館
の3時間は長すぎます。
追伸:alan 1 netへ 支払請求書に於いて、当地 ファミリー

I was glad that I could visit five tourist attractions without renting a car.
렌트하지 않고 5군데 관광지를 돌아볼수 있어 좋았습니다.
For those who want to enjoy the aquarium at a leisurely pace, I think it's great that there is about three hours of free time. The Okinawa soba for lunch is acceptable considering the tour price. I can recommend it for families as well as for those participating alone.
水族館をゆっくり楽しみたい方には、約3時間の自由時間があるので、いいと思います。昼食の沖縄そばは、ツアー代金を考えれば仕方ないかな、という内容です。ファミリーでもひとり参加の方にもお勧めできます。
I was picked up near the hotel, and the guide welcomed us. The Churaumi Aquarium exceeded my expectations, and I also enjoyed the dolphin show. The stops we made on the way back, including the butterfly garden, pineapple garden, and glass workshop, were enjoyable even though they were brief. The Okinawa soba for lunch was delicious, and I was also able to get some souvenirs, which made me very satisfied. The guide's explanations during the round trip were excellent, and she even performed a song. My trip to Okinawa after 43 years became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.
ホテルの近くでピックアップして戴き、ガイドさんが出迎えしてくれました。
美ら海水族館は期待していた以上の内容で、イルカショウも楽しめました。
往復時に立ち寄ったチョウ園・パイナップル園・ガラス工房等も短時間ではあったが楽しめる内容でした。
昼食の沖縄ソバも美味しく戴けました、又お土産品も戴け大満足です。
往復時のガイド嬢の説明も上手で歌も披露して戴き、43年振りの沖縄観光も楽しい思い出になりました、有難うございました。
The cost performance is excellent. One downside is that the bus ride for the pickup in Naha City is quite long. However, since it's early in the morning, it's fine if you can sleep during the ride. There was plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium. Overall, I am satisfied.
コストパフォーマンスは抜群です。一つ難点を言えば那覇市内送迎ですとバスの乗ってる時間がすごく長いです。でも朝早いので寝てれば大丈夫ですが。美ら海水族館は十分時間がありました。全体的に満足です。
The aquarium was amazing, and the dolphin show was truly impressive. The weather was great, making it a perfect day. The guide's explanations of Okinawan folk songs and dialects made for a fulfilling experience. I highly recommend it.
水族館は勿論、イルカのショー等驚く事ばかり。天気も良く最高でした。ガイドさんの沖縄民謡、方言の説明充実した一日でした。オススメです。
