amazing shark whale experience

Reviewed by: Singleeyed, 2015/07/31

Everything is so nice, including seeing 3 shark whale at the same tank...which is an amazing experience. The only complain that we have is the roundtrip bus takes too long and the actual sightseeing is a bit too short

Great tour!

Reviewed by: Josen , 2015/07/13

Overall it was a great tour. Great value for money. Best of the tour is certainly the aquarium. In the tour there is a udon noodles lunch included together with a brief visit to a bufferfly garden, pineapple theme park and and a typical Okinawa glass workshop.
If you like to avoid the hassle of taking different busses this is certainly a good option

너무좋아요^^!

Reviewed by: 이정렬, 2015/05/28

모든 입장료가 포함이고 특히 츄라우미수족관입장료가 무료라 다른 관광버스 투어보다 좋았습니다

또한 호텔픽업까지 무료!! 최고의 조건과 최고의 가격으로 완변한 하루일정을 보냈습니다!!

마지막으로 특별한 선물과 무료식사(소바) 그리고 디져트까지 여러가지로 얻어가는 기분이라 강력하게 추천합니다! 한가지 참고는 리잔씨파크호텔에 숙소를 예약하신분은 영어표기가 잘못되어 있습니다 Regency Park Hotel 라고 되어있어 잘못된표기지만 안심하시고 예약하세요 픽업하러 옵니다^^

Great tour!

Reviewed by: HKtraveller, 2015/05/22

Great tour! Would definitely recommend this package as it had everything we wanted to do and see. Bus picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel so it was very convenient. We got lots of fun photos with the giant butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. The Churaumi Aquarium was awesome. Our guide was friendly and helpful and managed to communicate to us via English signs when to get back to the bus and what time we could go see the dolphin show. It really helped that we happened to have a bilingual traveler on our bus and he stepped in to help translate from Japanese to English. Lots of interesting pineapple products to try at Nago Pineapple Park. They gave us a mini cup to sample about 4-5 pineapple wines and you can try their pineapple cakes. On our way home, the tour guide gave everyone a little pineapple ice cream sherbet, very refreshing! Perfect end to an enjoyable day.

Great Tour!

Reviewed by: SarahM, 2015/04/19

My Japanese language skills are limited, so having the English audio available was great. The tour guide was friendly and very good. I enjoyed the bus tour immensely. I had an easy time finding the pick up location and was dropped off where I could get back to my hotel without getting lost. I didn't realize that Expo Land was a huge theme park until we got there. My goal, however, was to spend time at the Churaumi Aquarium and I was able to do just that. Along the way, we stopped at a few sights, including a Butterfly Museum, Pineapple Park, and Ryukyu Glass Factory. All in all, I had a great time.

  • Butterfly House

  • Churaumi Aquarium

  • Churaumi Aquarium

  • Whale Shark in the world's 2nd largest aquarium tank

  • Pineapple Park - great samples of juice and wine.

Great Value, Good Experience

Reviewed by: Courtney, 2015/03/18

If you want to visit Churaumi Aquarium but can't or don't want to rent your own vehicle, this tour is probably the best way to do it. Although the staff's English language abilities are minimal, they have some helpful signage and a lot of patience to help you out. The English speaking tourists were all given a headset which provided some interesting information along the drive to compensate for missing out on what the guide was saying. The additional stops: butterfly garden, Nago Pineapple Park, and glass shop were all very catered to getting you to spend more money on souveniers, but you don't have to buy anything and they were all (mildly) interesting enough that it wasn't an annoyance. Lunch is good, if a bit sparse. Bring snacks or buy some at the stops. The three hours at the aquarium is a good amount of time. Enough time to get through the whole aquarium and even catch the dolphin show or spend time at the other attractions. The staff was excellent and surprised us with a complementary pineapple sherbet at the end of the day, so that nice. They also offered to drop us off at the main shopping street or our original pick-up point, which was very convenient. Overall, I'd recommend this as a cost effective way (all the entrance frees and lunch are included) to see some of Okinawa Honto and get to the main attractions up north.

Churaumi Aquarium

Reviewed by: Wanda, 2014/10/17

Me and my boyfriend joint the RADO Churaumi one day tour and visited many places including the butterfly house and the Pineapple Park. This is a value for money tour and is perfect for you get to walk around freely without the need to follow the tour guide all the time. At each destination, the guide will tell you what time to return to the bus to set off to the next destination.

Although the staff do not speak English, it's very easy to follow their instruction. They are also very helpful and polite.

I highly recommend anyone who visit Okinawa for the first time to join this trip.

overall very good

Reviewed by: Lau Kwan Ho, 2014/10/17

The tour price at 4700 yen with all entrance fee 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 only listenable intermittently with which international travelers may not be able to enjoy the journey in full.
