Okinawa
Was lucky to get the rebate plan (2for 1) (rebate will only come in after review) for our trip.
As my family and I weren’t prepared for this trip due to our busy schedule, I only booked it on 22nd Jan(midnight) when I was already in Okinawa. It was confirmed very quickly with details sent within 10hours.
Pickup:
The pickup was at hotel lobby(wasn’t clear on pickup point)
The bus was a little late that day, made my mom frantic and afraid that we were at the wrong pickup point. Attendance was easy and smooth.
First 2 locations:
Scenic and the time given was just perfect. There isn’t much around the area so have a good look & take photos & move on.
Lunch: I DIDN’T GET TO EAT LUNCH
The restaurant opposite the shopping place was full and had no seats to accommodate more guest. There wasn’t any selection to choose lunch so I didn’t get to eat. :)))) again, there weren’t other restaurants to eat at other than a buffet hotpot. Lunchtime was about 50mins so no buffet, don’t waste money.
Churaumi:
Easy & smooth entry. Reach around 2 pm
The bus was to leave at 4 pm. Ok here’s what I’m ??? about:
Dolphin show was 3pm & 3.30pm(dolphin feeding) finishes at about 3.50pm. Bus Bay is 10-15mins of walk back, so we rushed. Imagine elderlies walking, it would take time quite a while. The bus should leave at 4.15 pm for guest to enjoy the shows.
Nago pineapple park:
Time should be extended by 10mins.
Overall, good experience. The guide distributed snacks and kept doing headcounts before we left just to Ensure everyone’s on board. She was very friendly too!
That’s all folks!
This was a great opportunity to see some of the country without doing the driving. The aquarium was great and there were many other sights to enjoy. Due to the language barrier, there were times when it was a bit confusing, however the wonderful guide went out of her way to explain things and showed us great kindness. I highly recommend this trip.

It was a wonderful visit to Taketomi Island with a temperature of 26°C even in winter. I signed up for the water buffalo cart tour, and after riding the cart, I rented a bicycle. This was the right choice, as I was able to take a nice ride around the West Pier and the beach, enjoying the beautiful scenery. I definitely want to visit Taketomi Island again and spend some relaxing time there.
I recommend renting a bicycle and suggest staying for as long as possible.
冬なのに26℃という気温でとてもすばらしい竹富島観光でした。
水牛車コースのツアーを申し込みましたが、水牛車に乗ったあとで
レンタサイクルを借りました。
これが正解で、西桟橋やビーチをぐるっと一回りして素晴らしい景
色を見ることができました。
是非また竹富島に行ってのんびりとした時間を過ごしたいです。
自転車を借りることをおすすめします
時間はできる限り長い時間の滞在をおすすめします
I wanted to visit Taketomi Island, which is easily accessible from Ishigaki Island, so I used this tour. The reason I chose this tour is that it's incredibly affordable! The round trip to Taketomi Island costs about 1,400 yen, and the water buffalo cart ride is 1,500 yen, but this tour is only 2,000 yen total!
Once you receive your tickets directly at the counter, you can board the boat individually, and they provide transportation to the water buffalo cart. You can choose to return at either 4 PM or 5 PM, allowing you to stroll around Taketomi Island or rent a bicycle without feeling rushed.
If you're going to Taketomi Island, I absolutely recommend this tour. I will definitely use it again!
石垣島に行くと気軽に行ける島、竹富島に行きたくて利用しました。
このツアーを選んだ理由は、とにかくおトクだからです!!
竹富島まで行くのに往復で1,400円位と、水牛車で1,500円かかる所が、このツアーは全部で2,000円!
ツアーも直接カウンターでチケットをもらえば後は個人で船に乗って送迎してくれて水牛車に乗って
帰りの時間も16時か17時が選べるので、竹富島内で散歩したりレンタサイクルしたりと、時間の制約も焦らず気ままに過ごせました。
竹富島に行くなら、このツアーが絶対一押しです。また絶対利用します!!
Our arrival was an hour earlier, and when I asked if we could move our participation time up, they kindly agreed! My 3-year-old daughter was thrilled to find star sand. It was impossible to rent bikes with a child, so the bus was a great help!
到着が1時間早くなり、参加時間を前倒しできないか相談したら快く受けてくださいました!
3歳の娘は星の砂を見つけて大喜び。子連れではレンタサイクルは無理なのでバスが助かりました!
The guides we met on each island were very friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Since they had all lived in the area for a long time, they kindly shared information about the history, climate, and culture that wasn't included in guidebooks, leading to many discoveries.
各離島でお会いしたガイドの方がとても気さくで、ツアーを充分満喫できました!現地で長くて住まれている方ばかりでしたので、歴史や気候、文化などガイドブックに掲載されていない情報なども親切に教えていただき色々な発見もありました。
The service for the boats and buses was smooth and good. However, since cycling takes time, I wish I could have stayed a little longer.
船やバスの対応はスムーズで良かったです。ただサイクリングに時間がかかるので、もう少し長く滞在できたらいいなぁっと思いました。
I participated during the New Year. We were blessed with clear skies and leisurely explored Taketomi Island with a water buffalo.
I've joined the water buffalo tour on Taketomi Island multiple times, but each time brings new discoveries and enjoyment thanks to the guides and the water buffalo.
Sometimes, I want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a slow-paced time like this. With the ferry and water buffalo included, I believe this price is the best offered by Veltra.
After the glass-bottom boat and water buffalo tour, we had a little time before the ferry, so we walked to the pier.
It was a bit chilly to go into the sea, but we had a very pleasant time. Thank you very much.
お正月に参加しました。晴天に恵まれ、水牛でのんびりと竹富島を散策しました。
竹富島の水牛観光は、何回も参加していますが、ガイドさんや水牛によって、毎回新しい発見や楽しみがあります。
たまには都会の喧騒から離れて、こんな風にゆっくりとした時間を感じたいですね。フェリーと水牛、グラスボード込みでこの価格は、ベルトラさんが最安値ではないでしょうか。
グラスボード、水牛観光の後、フェリーの時間まで少し時間があったため、桟橋まで歩いて向かいました。
海に入るには少し冷たい時期でしたので、とても気持ちがよい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。
While heading to the destination, we enjoyed the various exteriors of the hotels while attracting customers at the resort hotel, and I felt that the guide's smooth chatter, filled with numbers, was quite educational. At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was struck by the impression that I mostly heard Chinese. Even though it was before the Lunar New Year, I was overwhelmed by the large crowd. I was satisfied to see the dolphin show despite it being winter. I would like to use this service again.
リゾートホテルで集客しながら目的地に向かうので、様々なホテルの外観も楽しめるし、ガイドさんのよどみないお喋りも数字が多用されて勉強しているなと感じた。美ら海水族館では、中国語ばかりが聞こえていた印象です。春節前でしたがその大人数に圧倒されました。冬なのにイルカショーを見られて満足しました。また利用したいです。
I was always mindful of the meeting times, so I couldn't take my time to look around. Considering the packed schedule for one day, I think it's a good deal. However, I believe it would be easier to navigate Pineapple Park with a tour guide. It may not be very large, but I got lost along the way.
常に集合時間を気にして動いたのであまりゆっくり見れてはいないです。
これだけスケジュールを1日で回ることを考えたらお得だと思います。
ただ、パイナップルパークは添乗員さんがついて回ったほうがわかりやすいと思います。広くはないかもしれないですが途中でどこへ行ったらわからなくなりました。

This tour is highly recommended! I wanted to do some sightseeing in the northern area even though I didn't have a car, so I signed up for this tour. It was really great, so I truly recommend it!
It was okay to change the pick-up and drop-off locations, so I joined from a hotel near my accommodation and was dropped off at the prefectural office on the way back, which allowed me to use my time effectively.
The sightseeing spots were all places I wanted to visit, and I was impressed by the large aquarium at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and enjoyed the dolphin show. The weather wasn't great on Kouri Island, so I couldn't see the sparkling blue sea, but I want to challenge it again next time.
We also stopped at places where I could buy purple sweet potato tarts, pineapple liquor, and snacks, making it a very satisfying tour.
Thank you very much. I would love to participate again!
かなりおすすめツアーです!
車がないけど、北部の観光がしたい!となり、このツアーに申し込みました。かなり良かったので、ほんとオススメです!
行き帰りの送迎場所を変えてもオッケーだったので、宿泊地のホテル近くから参加し、帰りは県庁で降ろしてもらえ、時間を有効に使えました。
観光地は行きたいところばかりで、美ら海水族館の大きな水槽には感動し、イルカショーも楽しめました。古宇利島では天気が良くなかったので、キラキラした青い海は見えなかったですが、次回またチャレンジしたいと思います。紅芋タルトやパイナップルのお酒、お菓子を買えるところにも寄れて、大満足のツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。また、ぜひ参加させてください!!
My friends and I enjoyed this full day tour offered by Veltra. We did not rent a car during our trip to Okinawa (and in Okinawa, if is very difficult to move around without a car) so we found the bus service very convenient. We were picked up at our hotel in Chatan which was very convenient as well. Not to mention that this tour made us go to different tourist spots in Okinawa at a very affordable price!
Booking this tour went smooth as well. We did not have any planned itinerary for our Okinawa trip due to our pretty busy schedule but we’re glad we found this online. We booked our tour a day before our scheduled trip (luckily they still have available slots!). Everything went fine and smooth, our trip was confirmed shortly.
We had a pleasant time during the trip. We were able to pass through some of the beautiful beaches in Okinawa. The Churaumi Aquarium experience was also great. We had fun watching the dolphin show. Too bad though we lack time to tour the entire park.
The tour guide does not speak English but we can see her effort to guide us in any way possible. We did not have any problem with communication at all since there is an English audio inside the bus.
Would definitely recommend this tour to my family and friends who will visit Okinawa in the future. :)
The round-trip ferry from Ishigaki Island to Taketomi Island, along with the water buffalo cart and the island sightseeing bus, allowed us to get off at Kaiji Beach, making our time very worthwhile.
石垣島から竹富島までの往復船と竹富島での水牛車、島内観光バスでは、カイジ浜での下車もでき、時間を有意義に使えました。
I was looking forward to Pineapple Park just as much as Churaumi Aquarium, but it turned out to be just a stop for shopping. I was disappointed because I thought there would be more to see and do.
美ら海水族館と同じ位に楽しみにしていたパイナップルパークがただのお買物のみの立ち寄りでした。
もっと色々見て回れるのだと思っていたため残念です。
I participated in the tour because driving to the northern part on my own seemed challenging, but the time spent at each sightseeing spot was just right for me, allowing for a leisurely exploration.
Cape Hedo was breathtaking. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I was a bit disappointed to have arrived late and only saw the dolphin show from outside the venue, but everything else was satisfying. In the end, I enjoyed the sunset from the car window.
I prefer a tour like this, which focuses on specific destinations, rather than moving between many sightseeing spots in a short amount of time.
自力で北部まで運転して行くのは大変そうだったので参加しましたが、各観光場所での滞在時間が私にはちょうどよく、ゆっくり観光することができて良かったです。
辺戸岬は絶景の一言。大石林山は一番長いコースをじっくり見て回ることができ、美ら海水族館は、到着が送れてイルカショーの会場の外から見たのがちょっと残念でしたが、それ以外は満足でした。最後は車窓から見る日没まで楽しみました。
短い滞在時間でたくさんの観光場所を移動するより、こういう行き先を絞った余裕のあるツアーがいいです。
Dear Yuribelle,

The mangroves on Iriomote Island are quite rare, so I recommend visiting. To get to Yubu Island, you travel back and forth on a water buffalo cart, and they enhance the experience with stories and performances on the sanshin. After having lunch and seeing the butterfly garden and Manta Beach, we ran out of time. On Taketomi Island, we did some sightseeing with a glass-bottom boat and a water buffalo cart, but we couldn't visit places like Hoshi no Suna Beach, which disappointed the kids. I wish we had more free time on Taketomi Island. Although we had various experiences arranged for us, the schedule was quite packed, so I think it's good to carefully consider which tour to choose.
Lastly, regarding lunch, the children's meal was supposed to be chosen on-site, but we were guided to a prepared table, and in the end, the child could hardly eat anything, and we ended up just paying for it. I did check with the staff, but they seemed busy, so I think it was a mistake.
西表島のマングローブは中々見られないのでお勧めです。由布島へは水牛車に引かれて往復しますが、お話や三線の演奏があったりと気分を盛り上げてくださいます。お昼を食べて蝶々園とマンタの浜を見たら時間切れでした。竹富島ではグラスボードと水牛車での島内観光でしたが、星の砂の浜等には行かれず、子供が残念がっていました。せめて竹富島は自由時間が欲しかったかなー。おまかせで色々な体験ができましたが、かなり詰め込んだ日程ですので、どのツアーにするのか吟味するのが良いと思います。
最後に昼食ですが、子供の食事は1人分現地で選ぶ事になっていましたが、用意された席へ案内され、結局子供はほとんど食べられず、料金だけ支払うことになりました。係りの方には確認をしたのですが、忙しそうでしたので間違えたのだと思います。
It was my first time on an Okinawa tour, and I had a fulfilling time from morning until evening! Thank you very much.
When I go to Okinawa again, I will participate in a different tour.
沖縄ツアー初めてでしたが
朝から夕方まで満喫充実した時間を過ごせました!!ありがとうございました

The tour around Taketomi Island and the water buffalo experience was enjoyable. I think it's great that you can choose the time. The slow pace was very pleasant.
竹富島を回るツアーと水牛の旅楽しかったです。
時間も選べれるのは良いと思います。
ゆっくりとしたペースが心地良かったです。
I was surprised by the size of the whale shark and also by how it eats. It became a fun memory. Three hours felt too short.
じんべいサメの大きさにビックリ、エサの食べ方もビックリでした。楽しい思い出になりました。 3時間では短く感じました。

Although the weather was unfortunately bad on the day I participated, I was able to spend a very fulfilling day as the title suggests. I was able to see beautiful rainbows multiple times on the mangrove river, and the guide's explanations were thorough, allowing me to appreciate the mangroves better! When we crossed to the island on the cattle, the local guide provided detailed explanations and even sang with a shamisen, making for a wonderful experience. My favorite part was Taketomi Island! The scenery was just as I had seen in guidebooks, and it was lovely! Riding around on a bicycle allowed me to feel the pleasant breeze, creating the best memories! Next time, I want to try again on a day with good weather!
参加した日はあいにくの天気でしたがタイトル通りとっても濃い1日を過ごすことができました。マングローブの川ではきれいな虹を何度も見ることができ、ガイドの方の説明も丁寧で理解しながらマングローブを見ることができました!また牛さんで島渡りをした際も現地のガイドさんが細かい説明や三味線で歌を歌ってくださり、素敵な体験をすることができました。私が一番気に入ったのは竹富島でした!ガイドブックで見たような景色が広がり、素敵でした!自転車で巡った地ため、心地よい風を感じることができ、最高の思い出になりました!今度は天気が良い日に再チャレンジしてみたいと思います!
I was torn between visiting three or four islands, but reducing it to three turned out to be the right choice as it gave us a bit more time. The system of having staff at each destination detach the vouchers was easy to understand, and it felt less restrictive compared to tours that require constant group participation. The lunch was surprisingly delicious, and we were blessed with good weather, making for a fun day. I think it would be quite difficult to manage such an efficient itinerary on my own, so I'm glad I participated.
3島か4島かで迷いましたが、1つ減らした事で時間にややゆとりが生まれ正解でした。行く先々で待つスタッフにバウチャーを切り離して貰うシステムは分かり易く、常にグループ行動を求められるツアーとは違うので拘束感が薄かったのも良かったです。昼食も予想以上に美味しく、天気にも恵まれて楽しい日になりました。個人手配では中々ここまで効率良く周るのは難しいと思われ、参加して良かったです。
On a clear day, the boat to Taketomi Island was smooth, and we arrived in no time. The building near the ferry terminal had restrooms and a shop, so we waited for our glass-bottom boat while browsing for souvenirs.
Boats were continuously arriving, and after waiting for two, the glass-bottom boat departed. We were able to see many fish as we visited several feeding spots. Next was the bus. Since it was a shared ride, we waited at the ferry terminal for another boat to arrive before departing. We strolled along the beach where we could find star sand and headed to the water buffalo cart station located in the center of the village.
At the reception counter of the building, we received instructions on which water buffalo cart to board. We were leisurely pulled through the town, while the person holding the buffalo's reins sang with a sanshin and guided us. After returning to the water buffalo station, we took group photos, individual photos, and received our boarding certificate photo.
I had made a reservation for the boat back to Ishigaki Island when we arrived at Taketomi Island, so I hurried to catch that bus. I regretted not having more free time to explore the laid-back town. It was a bit of a hectic tour, but it became a wonderful memory. (Departure at 1 PM, return at 4 PM)
快晴の中、竹富島までの船は揺れず、あっという間に到着。船乗り場そばの建物内にはトイレと売店等があり、ガラスボートの時間までお土産を見ながら待ってました。
ひっきりなしに船がはいってくるので、2隻待ってからグラスポートは出発。餌付けされている場所を何か所か周り沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。次はバス。こちらも混乗なので、別の船到着を船乗り場で待ってからの出発。星の砂が見つかる砂浜を散策し、集落の真ん中にある水牛車乗り場へ。建物の受付カウンターへ行き、どの水牛車に乗るかの指示を受けて乗りました。
のんびりと街中を引いてもらい、また水牛の手綱を持つ方が蛇三線で歌を歌って、案内をしてくれました。水牛乗り場へ戻って集合写真、個別写真を撮り、乗車証明写真をもらいました。
石垣島へ戻る船の予約は竹富島に着いた時に指定していたので、そのバスに乗れる様に急いで行動。
のんびりした街中、自由散策時間があれば良かったと反省。ちょっと慌ただしい観光でしたが、とても良い想い出になりました。
(13時発16時戻り)
I participated with two friends.
The meeting place was close to our accommodation, and the bus was easy to find. There were more foreign participants than Japanese, making it a multicultural bus.
The guide's stories were interesting, and they were kind and attentive, so I really enjoyed it!
The time spent at each location was short, but we disembarked at American Village along the way, allowing us to see a beautiful sunset.
Given the level of satisfaction for this price, it was a great deal! I'm very satisfied.
友人2人と参加しました。
集合場所も宿から近くバスも分かりやすかったです。参加者は日本人より外国の方のほうが多く、多国籍なバスでした。
ガイドさんのお話は面白く、優しく丁寧だったのでとっても楽しめました!
ひとつひとつの場所での時間は短かかったですが、途中のアメリカンビレッジで離団したため、綺麗な夕陽をみれました。
この充実度でこのお値段は安い!とっても満足です。
Dear Mikan,
Thank you for participating in our bus tour. We are delighted to hear that you had a great time on the day of the tour. The sunset is a view that can only be seen if you do not leave the group midway, but the beach in American Village is called Sunset Beach, and on clear days, you can see a beautiful sunset.
Thank you for your kind words about our bus guide. We will share your feedback and use it as motivation for the future. We look forward to your participation in our tours again if the opportunity arises.
Thank you very much.

I decided to join this tour because they provide direct transportation to the hotel where I was staying in Naha City.
The schedule for the Churaumi Aquarium was 150 minutes, which included seeing the giant whale shark in the massive tank, browsing for souvenirs, and watching the dolphin show at the Okichan Theater starting at 3 PM. Although the timing felt a bit rushed, it was just right.
Personally, I wasn't very aware of the scenic spots like the Warumi Bridge and Kouri Island when I signed up, but they were beautiful, and I enjoyed the souvenir shops as well. Taking photos at the beach, having a restroom break, and shopping for souvenirs felt a bit short at 20 minutes. I wished we had another 10 minutes. It was a whirlwind just looking at Blue Seal ice cream, tankan, papaya, and pure brown sugar. I returned to the bus with a heavy heart.
At Nago Pineapple Park, I thought 20 minutes was sufficient for souvenir shopping and restroom breaks. However, it would have been better if the restrooms were a bit cleaner.
I would like to thank the guide who contacted the restaurant and subsequent facilities regarding my allergy concerns, as well as the staff at the restaurant and shops for their assistance. Thank you for your kindness.
I believe the price, which includes transportation costs, aquarium admission fees, and guide fees, is very reasonable. Overall, it was a tour that allowed us to spend a comfortable and efficient day.
那覇市内の宿泊するホテルに直接送迎してくれることが決め手となり、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
美ら海水族館は150分で、巨大水槽のジンベイザメを見て、お土産を見て、さらに15時からのオキちゃん劇場のイルカショーを見て、バスの駐車場に15:45までに戻ってくるという時間配分は、少し急ぎ足ですがちょうど良かったです。
個人的には、申込時にあまり意識的していなかったワルミ大橋、古宇利島観光がとてもキレイで、またお土産物屋さんも楽しかったです。ビーチで写真を撮り、トイレ休憩し、お土産を買うのに20分では短く感じました。もう10分あればなあと思いました。ブルーシールアイス、たんかん、パパイヤ、純黒糖など、いろいろ見るだけであっという間でした。後ろ髪を引かれながらバスに戻りました。
ナゴパイナップルパークではお土産とトイレ休憩なので、20分でも良いと思いました。ただ、トイレがもう少しきれいだと良いのですが…。
昼食のアレルギーの件で相談した際に、レストランや後続の施設に連絡を取ってくださり、対応してくださったガイドさん、レストランやお店の方々に感謝いたします。ご親切にありがとうございました。
交通費と、水族館の入館料、ガイド代を含めてのこの値段は非常にリーズナブルだと思います。全体的に、効率的良く、快適に1日を過ごすことができるツアーでした。
We gathered at the prefectural office square in the morning and set off right away, stopping by several hotels to pick up participants before heading to Manzamo, which is often featured on postcards. It was under construction, so we couldn't take our time to enjoy it, but the Elephant Nose and the Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks) are famous there. I was glad we could spend plenty of time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, which my child had been looking forward to. It was nice to see my child enjoying their first experience in a pineapple field at Pineapple Park.
We had fresh purple sweet potato tart at the Okashi Goten, and it was delicious. There's nothing like it fresh out of the oven. We were also able to buy a lot of souvenirs. I was exhausted from sleeping soundly on the bus ride back, but if you want to efficiently visit tourist spots, I recommend this course.
朝県庁前広場に集合してすぐ出発しましたが、数カ所のホテルに回り参加者を拾って、葉書によく出る万座毛に行きました。工事中だったので、ゆっくり見れなかったが、象の鼻と夫婦岩が有名です。子供が憧れていた美ら海水族館にたっぷり滞在できて良かったです。パイナップルパークで子供が初めてパイナップル畑を見て楽しそうだったので良かったです。
お菓子御殿で生の紅芋タルトを食べて美味しかったです。やっぱりできたてがうまいんです。またお土産もいっぱい買えました。帰るバスの中で爆睡して疲れましたけど、効率よく観光名所を回りたいならこのコースがおすすめです。
The plan included a bus tour and a water buffalo cart. I used this service five years ago, and at that time, the tour explanations were thorough and good, so I decided to use it again this time. However, the water buffalo this time was an old one that would stop to urinate and defecate after walking a short distance. During a time-limited tour, we stopped more than ten times, which significantly reduced our free time. Because it was urinating so often, there was little sightseeing commentary, and on top of that, we were subjected to a tone-deaf song that made it hard to tell whose song it was (it should have been a song by Rimi Natsukawa...). I hope they can improve this with a sense of professionalism, as they are providing a service for which they receive payment from customers.
バス観光と水牛車のプランであった。5年前にも利用し,そのときは観光の説明もしっかりしてくれていてよかったので今回も利用した。しかし,今回の水牛は老牛で少し歩くと立ち止まりおしっこ,うんこをする。時間に制限ある観光をしているところで,一周する途中十回以上立ち止まり自由時間がかなり削られた。おしっこばかりしているため,観光案内は少なく,さらに,誰の歌であったか分からなくなるような調子の外れた歌を聞かせられるというおまけも付いていた。(夏川りみさんの歌であったはずだが・・・)。お客さんからお金をいただいて行っている仕事であるというプロ意識をもって改善してほしい。
I apologize for the inconvenience and disturbance caused as I was with children. We had a great time together. Since we had many places to visit, I had to accompany the kids to the restroom and walk at their pace, which left us with little time to shop at the souvenir stores, and I felt a bit sorry for just borrowing the restroom. However, we were able to hit all the key sightseeing points, and I think this price is very reasonable!
子連れでしたので、大変ご迷惑、お騒がせして申し訳ありませんでした。
子供と一緒にとても楽しませていただきました。
立ち寄る場所が多いため、随所で子供のトイレに付き合ったり歩幅を合わせて歩くとお土産屋さんで購入する時間がなく、お手洗いだけ借りるような形になってしまい、ちょっと申し訳なくおもいました。
しかし観光ポイントはしっかりと押さえており、この価格はとてもお得だと思います!
The bus tour was a very good way to go around Okinawa if you don't have a car. They picked us up at a convenient place and took us to the aquarium and other scenic locations around the island. The staff was helpful and friendly.
I had many places I wanted to visit in Okinawa for the first time, and I was very happy to be on a tour that covered them all! Each sightseeing spot had ample time, and I was satisfied (^ ^). About 80% of the participants were foreigners, and the guide explained in both Japanese and English, also letting us listen to traditional Okinawan music (^ - ^)! I definitely recommend joining this tour!
はじめての沖縄で行きたい所が多数あったのですが全て行けるツアーでとても嬉しかったです!
それぞれの観光時間もしっかりあって満足でした(^ ^)
参加されてる方は8割外国の方でガイドさんが日本語と英語で説明してくださって沖縄伝統の音楽も聴かせてくれました(^-^)!
是非参加してみてください!
