Okinawa
It was great that we could efficiently visit the main islands and major tourist spots. Since there isn't much to see on the islands, I think it's better to do a tour and cover everything at once.
主要な島を、主要な観光スポットを効率よく回れたので、すごく良かった。島の観光に時間をかけても、特に見るところがないので、ツアーで一気に回ってしまった方が良いと思う。
I participated because all the places I wanted to visit were included! Overall, my impression is that the time spent at each location was short, and I was constantly on the move, running a bit, haha. At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see the dolphin show, but the parking lot was far away, so I was cutting it close for the meeting time, haha. At the Okashi Goten, since I visited in the evening, the sweet potato tart I was looking forward to was sold out, which was disappointing. However, the guide was friendly, and I had a great time. Thank you!
行きたいところが全て組み込まれていたので参加しました!
トータルの感想としては、ひとつひとつの滞在時間が短くて、終始小走りで移動してました笑
美ら海水族館はイルカショーまでみれましたが、駐車場までが遠いので集合時間ギリギリ笑
お菓子御殿では夕方の訪問だったので、お目当ての紅芋タルトが完売で残念でした↓
ただ、ガイドさんもフレンドリーだし、楽しい時間を過ごせてよかったです。ありがとうございました!
I participated with my sister during the middle of our 3-night, 4-day trip. My goal on Ishigaki Island was to ride a water buffalo cart. I rode twice, once with the buffalo from Yubu Island and once with the buffalo from Taketomi Island. It was my first time learning that the types of buffalo were different. I was fortunate to encounter gentle buffalo in both cases.
Additionally, the guide was wonderful and let us listen to Okinawan folk songs. The colors of the sea visible from the boat to the island were stunning. It became the best memory.
3泊4日の中日に姉と参加しました。石垣島での私の目的は水牛車に乗ることです。由布島の牛と竹富島の牛の2回乗車しました。それぞれ牛の種類が違うのは初めて知りました。どちらも穏やかな牛に当たったのでよかったです。
また、ガイドさんもいい方で沖縄民謡も聞かせてくれました。
島に渡る船から見える海の色がいろいろな色に見えます。最高の思い出となりました。
The weather was bad that day, but the guide was very kind. The aquarium is spacious, and we also saw the dolphin show. We saw plenty of sea turtles and fish. It was a great trip. Thank you.
その日天気が悪いですが、ガイドさんはとても優しいです。
水族館が広いですね、イルカショーも見ました。
海亀 魚 いっぱい見ました。
いい旅でした。ありがとうございます。
I've ridden a water buffalo cart several times before, but the satisfaction really depends on the stories told by the guide. This time, the guide's simple yet charming storytelling and the performance on the sanshin perfectly matched the slow life atmosphere I was looking for, and I was very satisfied. There was also a cute incident where the buffalo wouldn't move, which turned into a fun memory and made for a great experience.
水牛車は初めてではなく、数回乗ったことがありますが、添乗するおじいの話によって満足感が左右するものです。今回のおじいは、私の求めるスローライフな雰囲気を味わうに丁度良い朴訥なしゃべりに三線の演奏、とても満足のいくものでした。途中牛が動こうとしないという可愛いハプニングもありながら、それがかえって楽しい思い出になり、良い思い出になりました。
I have visited Okinawa Island many times. Since I am a paper driver, I have always relied on bus transfers for sightseeing. I had given up on the idea of touring the northern part beyond Nago by bus, but this tour made my dream come true.
The weather was bad, but the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the stroll. Although not in the wild, I was happy to see the Okinawa rail up close through the glass.
If I may add, we only stopped at the Yamada Service Area for a restroom break on the way there, so I hope it can be included in the itinerary in the future.
As expected, we were delayed on the way back due to traffic.
沖縄本島は何度も訪れています
ペーパードライバーなのでいつもバス乗継で観光していました
名護より北部はどう頑張ってもバスでは観光が難しいとあきらめていたのですが、このツアーで夢がかないました
天気は悪かったですが、食事はおいしく散策も楽しめました
野生ではないけどヤンバルクイナもガラス越しで近くでみることができてうれしかったです
欲を言えば
道の駅許田は行きのトイレ休憩のみだったので、今後コースにいれてほしいです
帰りは案の定渋滞で到着は遅れました
Due to the impact of the typhoon, all the activities I had planned were canceled, which brought my mood down. However, in the end, I was able to participate here and created some truly wonderful memories. We were able to visit the tourist spots in Okinawa in just one day, and since we had already decided on the must-visit locations, I felt the duration of our stay was just right. The tour guide was really good at speaking Japanese and made the conversation enjoyable, and the driver was calm, allowing us to relax. Thank you for a wonderful day.
台風の影響で予定していたアクティビティが全てキャンセルになってしまいテンションが下がっていましたが、結果的にこちらに参加させて頂いてとても最高の思い出が出来ました。
沖縄の観光地を1日でまわれて、予めそれぞれの絶対行きたいスポットを決めていたので、私的には滞在時間は丁度良いと感じました。
添乗員さんも日本語が本当にお上手でお話も楽しく、運転手さんも穏やかで安心して過ごせました。
素敵な1日をありがとうございました。
It was a compact half-day tour featuring a mangrove forest cruise and a water buffalo cart ride, and it exceeded my expectations, leaving me very satisfied.
During the mangrove forest cruise, the captain's witty storytelling made learning about the mangrove ecosystem and the animals living there enjoyable and educational. After the cruise, we took a bus to the water buffalo cart boarding area, where the driver's entertaining narration provided us with various insights about Iriomote Island, making the travel time very enjoyable.
On the way to Yubu Island via the water buffalo cart, we listened to live performances of the sanshin while receiving explanations filled with love for the water buffalo. I learned that water buffalo have an intelligence level comparable to that of a five-year-old child and that each buffalo has its own unique personality, which made them even more endearing and soothing to me.
For those with limited time, I highly recommend this tour, which captures the essence of Iriomote Island. I can confidently say that you will not regret it.
マングローブ林のクルーズと水牛車がメインのコンパクトな半日ツアーでしたが期待以上に大満足な内容でした。
マングローブ林のクルーズでは船長さんの軽妙な語り口でマングローブ林やそこで暮らす動物たちの生態を楽しく教えていただき大変勉強になりました。
クルーズ終了後はバスで水牛車乗り場まで向かうのですが、その道中も運転手さんの楽しい語り口で西表島について色々教えていただき大変楽しい移動時間でした。
そして水牛車で由布島に向かう道中は行きも帰りも三線の弾き語りを聞きながら、水牛愛にあふれた解説をうかがうことが出来ました。水牛は5歳児程度の知能があるとのことで、またそれぞれの水牛には特有の性格があるとのことで、益々水牛が可愛く思えて癒されました。
時間が限られている方には西表島のエッセンスが盛り込まれたこのツアーを強くお勧めします。決して後悔されることはないと断言できる内容でした。
It was my first trip to Okinawa. Since I only stayed for two nights, this bus tour allowed me to visit several famous spots, making it a very meaningful day. Some places were a bit short on time, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The admission fee for the Churaumi Aquarium was included, and there was also a service for delicious sandwiches, which made it feel like a great deal. The guidance from the veteran tour guide was also very good.
初めての沖縄旅行でした。2泊という短い滞在だってので今回のバスツアーで名所を何箇所も回れてとても有意義な一日でした。若干時間の短い場所もありましたが、美しい風景を楽しめました。美ら海水族館の入館料も含まれ、美味しいサンドウィッチのサービス等もあり、とてもお得感がありました。ベテランガイドさんの案内もとても良かったです。
I made new discoveries on the tour of Iriomote Island, the sightseeing in Yufu Island, and the tour of Taketomi Island. I believe there are still more to come, right? I want to go to Ishigaki Island again. Maybe next time, I'll play golf on Kohama Island?
西表島のツアー、由布島観光、竹富島ツアーと新しい発見。まだまだこれからもっとあると思いますね?これからも、石垣島に行きたいと思ってます。今度は、小浜島でゴルフですかね?
利点:
- 時間を節約できる
- 一日に多くの場所を訪れることができる
- 車を借りたりタクシーで移動する必要がない
- 自分で計画する必要がない
- 非常に構造化されている
欠点:
- 非常に構造化されている
- 急かされているように感じる
- バスに間に合うか常に心配になる
- 各場所での時間が非常に短く感じる
私たちは急いで次の場所に移動するタイプではありませんが、チュラウミ水族館に行きたかったので、このツアーの一つを選びました。正直なところ、私と息子は水族館で一日を過ごす方が好ましいです。一つの場所を訪れるために同じ金額を支払って、急かされることなく過ごしたいです。
The pros :
- You can save time
-You get to visit many places in one day
-No need to rent a car or travel by taxi
- No need to organize it yourself
- very structured
The cons:
- Very structured
- It feels like we're being rushed
- Always worried about making it to the bus on time
- Time feels very short for each place.
We're not the type to rush from one place to another but we really wanted to go to Churaumi aquarium and this was one of the tours available. Honeslty me and my son would prefer to spend one day at the aquarium. I would pay the same amount to visit just one place and not feel so rushed.
I wanted to spend more time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, so the course was limited, and I didn't want to go to the pineapple garden, but I had no choice. It was just as I imagined—boring and felt like a waste of time. Spending a long time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and skipping the pineapple garden to spend more time at American Village would be good for kids, but adults didn't need the pineapple garden.
美ら海水族館での滞在時間を長くとりたかったのでコースが限られて パイナップル園には行きたくなかったけど仕方なく
想像通り面白くなく時間の無駄って感じでした
美ら海水族館長い滞在時間にしてパイナップル園行かずアメリカンビレッジ長めに時間とるとか 子供には良いけど大人はパイナップル園は要らなかったなぁ
Although the rainy season was approaching, we were able to enjoy ourselves as a family in the pleasant weather that wasn't too hot. Riding on a water buffalo cart while listening to folk songs was the best experience.
梅雨入り間近でしたが、快晴で暑すぎず家族で楽しむことができました。水牛の牛車に乗りながら民謡を聴けたのは最高でした。
I was efficiently guided to popular spots in Okinawa such as Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, and Kouri Island, and the bus guide's stories were truly wonderful and captivating! The pineapples at Pineapple Park were incredibly delicious! The cost performance and time performance were both excellent, and on the way back, I was able to see the sunset sinking into the horizon from the bus! It was really great!
美ら海水族館や万座毛、古宇利島など沖縄の人気スポットを効率的に案内してもらえた上にバスガイドさんのお話が大変素晴らしく面白くて聞き入ってしまいました!パイナップルパークのパイナップルはめちゃめちゃ美味しかったです!コストパフォーマンスもタイムパフォーマンスも最高で、帰路には社内から水平線へと沈みゆく夕陽も見ることが出来ました!本当に良かったです!
I was drawn by the water buffalo, and I took a leisurely stroll around Taketomi Island, enjoying the sound of the sanshin and beautiful singing. It was a wonderfully healing and enjoyable trip.
水牛の真栄くんに引かれて竹富島の中をのんびり散歩、三線の音色に素敵な歌声、最高に癒される楽しい旅でした。
It was a trip where we didn't rent a car, so it was great that we could efficiently visit the tourist spots! My husband, who was visiting Okinawa for the first time, was also happy!
レンタカーを借りない旅行だったので
効率よく観光地を回れたので良かったです!
初めての沖縄だった主人も喜んでました!
I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa at a lower cost and with more ease than renting a taxi!
I really appreciated that they accepted my request to split up along the way.
タクシーを借りるよりも低コスト&ラクに
沖縄観光を楽しむことができました!
途中解散したい希望も受け入れてくださり
とてもありがたかったです!
I was looking for a half-day tour that would allow me to return on an evening flight, so I really appreciated the early morning tour. The mangroves in Iriomote were impressive! We were able to take our time exploring while receiving explanations on the boat, which allowed us to take photos from various angles.
The water buffalo ride to Yufu was more amusing and cute than I expected. It seems that each water buffalo has its own personality; the one I rode was a boy who tended to slack off by looking around while walking. It seemed like he deliberately walked slowly or stopped. When he stopped, I had to tap his rear with a fly swatter to signal him to move. I was told that this one takes longer to cross to the shore, so I got to ride him the longest! The guide mentioned that customers are lucky to have this one.
Traveling while listening to the melody of the sanshin was a very heartwarming experience. The lunch we had in Yufu was also incredibly delicious! This tour requires very little physical effort, so even in the hot Okinawa weather, I think elderly people and those with children would be very satisfied!
夕方の便で帰れる半日ツアーを探してたので、朝早くからのツアーはとても有り難かったです。
西表のマングローブは見応えがありましたね!
船で説明を受けながらゆっくりまわっていただけたので左右見ながらあちこちの写真を撮る事も出来ました。
由布までの水牛は思ってたよりオモシロ可愛い♡水牛にも性格があるらしく、私が乗った子は途中で周りを見ながら歩くのをサボるタイプの男の子でした。笑 わざとゆっくり歩いたり止まってるみたいです。止まった時はハエ叩きでお尻をペンペン、合図して歩かせてました。この子は岸に渡るまで時間がかかるから1番長く乗っていれる子!お客さんラッキーですよと言われました。
さんしんのメロディを聴きながらの移動はとてもほっこり良い時間を過ごせます。
由布でいただいたランチの味も凄く美味しいです!
このツアーは体力を使う事がほとんどない為、暑い沖縄ですがご高齢の方や子連れの方も大満足できると思います!!
The buffalo cart ride across the island was relaxing and gave me a laid-back feeling. The sightseeing on the island with the buffalo cart was delightful, especially watching the clever buffalo.
水牛車での島渡りはのんびりとして、ゆったりとした気分でした。水牛車の島内観光は、賢い水牛の様子が可愛かったです。
I made a reservation for the second day of a two-night, three-day schedule in Ishigaki Island. It was a packed experience starting early in the morning, so I was exhausted on the way back. It was very convenient that they provided transportation from the morning meeting point to the hotel and also back to the hotel after the activities. I was torn between this plan and one that included a tour of Taketomi Island, but I’m glad I chose this plan because it allowed me to relax a bit after returning to Ishigaki Island until the evening.
石垣島2泊3日スケジュールの2日目に予約しました。朝早い時間から盛りだくさんの体験だったので、帰りはぐったり。朝の集合からホテルに送迎くださり終了後もホテルまで送迎をお願いできたのがとても楽でした。
他のプランで竹富島を巡るプランと迷いましたが、石垣島に戻ってから夜まで少しゆっくりできたのも、このプランで良かったです。
I live in Hokkaido.
I came to Okinawa for the first time in my life on my honeymoon!
Since we didn't know our way around, we decided to go with this guided tour.
In the end, I felt that we made a great choice!
There were some microphone troubles, and the guide seemed to have a tough time, but they were very friendly, cheerful, and kind, making the whole experience enjoyable!
If you're unsure, definitely consider booking this guided tour!!
北海道に住んでいる者です。
新婚旅行で生まれて初めて沖縄に来ました!
そこで、右も左もわからない私達はこのガイドツアーにお願いさせていただきました。
結果、ここを選んで良かったと思いました!
マイクトラブルがありガイドさんは大変そうでしたが、とても気さくで明るく、親切なガイドさんでしたので終始楽しかったです♫
迷ってる方はぜひこちらのガイドツアーを予約してみてください!!
The mangroves of Iriomote Island, which feels like Japan yet not quite Japan, are definitely worth seeing. The Yubu Island tour also embodies the essence of traveling to the remote islands of Okinawa. I traveled with my parents in their 70s, and they were extremely satisfied as it was their first time visiting the remote islands of Okinawa. By the way, I also had children aged 1, 2, and 4, and except for the 1-year-old, the other kids were running around excitedly. It was fantastic.
日本であって、日本ではない西表島のマングローブは一見の価値観有りです。
また、由布島ツアーもこれぞ沖縄離島旅猿という感じ。
70代の両親を連れての旅行でしたが、初めて沖縄離島を音ずれた両親は大満足の様子でした。
ちなみに、1歳、2歳、4歳の子供もいましたが、1歳の子供以外ははしゃぎまわってしました。
最高でした。
The mangrove boat tour had a relaxed schedule, allowing us to cruise while enjoying the beautiful mangroves. We traveled to Yubu Island on a water buffalo cart, and the butterflies in the botanical garden on Yubu Island were particularly stunning. This tour was enjoyable for everyone, from children to the elderly, even for those who may not be very physically active. It would have been even better if the weather had been sunny, but the rain stopped on Yubu Island, making it comfortable and not too hot.
マングローブのボートツアーの時間もゆったりあって、沢山のマングローブを眺めながらクルージングができ、由布島までは水牛の牛舎に乗って、行ききし、由布島の植物園の中の蝶々がとくに綺麗でした。そんなに体力に自信のない人も、子供からお年寄りまでのんびり楽しめるツアーでした。これで晴れてたらもっと最高でしたが、由布島では雨も止み、暑すぎずに過ごしやすかったです。
I was able to see many creatures that I can't find in other aquariums. Additionally, in the outdoor sea turtle area, there was a space where we could experience nesting and feeding, which allowed us to learn about the ecology of these animals in a very real way. I also enjoyed a very fun time watching the elderly dolphin, Oki-chan, give an impressive performance.
他の水族館では見ることの出来ない生き物も沢山見ることができた。
また、外の海亀のエリアでは産卵の様子や餌やりが体験出来るスペースがあり生き物の生態などをリアルに体験できるのがとてもいいと思いました。
高齢なイルカのおきちゃんも頑張って迫力ある演技を披露してくれとても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。
It was my first time in Okinawa, and I wanted to explore various places, but since I didn't have a car, I decided to use a bus tour this time. Many tours only depart from Naha City, but this one was the only one that started from a hotel in Onna Village, and they also provided a return trip, which I really appreciated.
That day, there were few passengers, creating a homely and relaxed atmosphere. The tour included all the places I wanted to visit in Okinawa, and the ticket prices for both the Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park were included, making it feel like a great deal. It was the day the rainy season started, and there was heavy rain, so I couldn't enjoy the view at Manza Beach, but I think I'll save that for my next visit.
The bus guide was also a very nice person who provided a lot of interesting explanations about Okinawa, which was fascinating for me as a first-timer. They even sang Okinawan songs, which was enjoyable. Thank you very much!
Next time, I would like to use this tour again when the weather is clear during my next visit to Okinawa.
初めての沖縄だったので、色々周りたいけど車も無かったので今回バスツアーを利用しました。
那覇市内からしか出発していないツアーが多く、恩納村に宿泊していたのでここのツアーが唯一恩納村のホテルから出発できて、帰りも送っていただけるということでとても有り難かったです。
この日は搭乗人数も少なくアットホームで自由な雰囲気でした^^
沖縄の行っておきたかった場所が全て詰まっていて、美ら海水族館かパイナップルパークのチケット代も含まれてこの価格はとてもお得だと感じました。
梅雨入りの日ですごい大雨で万座毛などは眺められませんでしたがまた次来た時の楽しみに取っておこうと思います。
バスガイドさんもとても人柄の良い方で、沖縄について色々な説明を沢山してくださり、初めてだった私にはどれも興味深かったです。
沖縄の歌も歌ってくださり楽しめました。
ありがとうございました^^
次は晴れてる時に、また沖縄に来た際は利用したいです。
The tour guide's service was excellent.
The lunch was delicious.
I was able to experience various activities, and the time management was great, making it a very fulfilling tour.
添乗員の対応が良かったです。
お昼が美味しかったです。
色々体験できて、時間の分配もよくて、とても充実したツアーでした。
I had my parents join the tour I participated in during my first trip to Okinawa. They were very satisfied with the Churaumi Aquarium. I believe this tour is a must for anyone's first trip to Okinawa.
自分が初沖縄旅に参加したツアーを両親来日時にも参加させました。
やはり美ら海水族館に大満足していました、
初沖縄はこのツアーは必須だと思います。
The weather was very nice, and I was able to enjoy the places I wanted to visit and the scenery I wanted to see! I would like to take my time exploring the places I liked on my next trip. ^_^
とても良いお天気で、行きたい所や見たい景色を楽しむことができました!
今回気に入ったところを、次の旅行でまたゆっくりまわりたいと思います^_^
I had a great time! However, I went with my mother, who walks with a cane. At the Churaumi Aquarium, you have to walk from the parking lot to the entrance. Since you also walk around at Nago Pineapple Park, I wouldn't recommend the tour for those with mobility issues. If someone with mobility issues is participating, I think it would be a good idea to contact the tour company in advance.
とても楽しかったです!
ただ、私が行った時は杖をつきながら歩く母と一緒でした。
美ら海水族館は入り口まで駐車場から歩きます。ナゴパイナップルワールドでも園内歩くので、足の悪い方はツアーはオススメできません。
足の悪い方が参加されるのなら、一度観光会社に問い合わせておくといいと思います。
It was a trip for two people aged 72 and 79, and from the departure at Ishigaki Port to the return, all aspects of the journey were wonderful. The lunch was also delicious. I unconditionally recommend this tour to anyone considering it.
72歳と79歳の二人旅でしたが、石垣港の出発から帰港まで、全ての行程の内容・対応が素晴らしかったです。ランチも美味しかったです。ツアーを検討されている方に無条件にお勧めします。
