All Reviews for Bus Tours

I was very satisfied that I could visit the famous spots in Okinawa in just one day. The guide shared songs, dances, dialects, stories about the people of Okinawa, and little bits of information that aren't in guidebooks, which I really enjoyed! I definitely want to come back to Okinawa!

沖縄の有名どころを1日で回ることができて大満足でした。ガイドさんが歌や踊り、方言、沖縄の人や沖縄のプチ情報をお話ししてくださり、ガイドブックに書いてないことを沢山楽しめました！是非また沖縄に来たいです！

I participated in the same tour before. This time, I joined with a friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time, and since our time was limited, we chose this tour that allows for an efficient day trip. The guide entertained us with songs, history, and quizzes, and my friend was very satisfied.

以前同じツアーに参加しました。今回は沖縄が初めての友達も同行し、なおかつ日にちが限られたため、日帰りで効率的にまわれるこのツアーにしました。ガイドさんが歌や歴史やクイズなどで楽しませてくれて、友達も大満足でした。

The guide explained, sang, danced, and even performed a paper play. I really think that's amazing.
It's much easier to take this bus tour than to drive myself.

ガイドさんは解説して歌って踊って紙芝居もやってました。本当にすごいと思います。
自分で運転するよりも、このバスツアーのほうが本当に楽です。

The course was certainly good, but the various conversations on the bus, the Okinawan songs, and the traditional Kachashi dance really made it an enjoyable trip, including during the travel time!

コースももちろん良かったですが、バスの中での色々な話や、沖縄の歌三線、カチャーシーなど、盛り上げていただき、移動中も含めてほんと楽しい旅になりました！

The guide was incredibly energetic, with singing and dancing, and provided a thorough explanation of Okinawa's history. I participated alone, but I had a great time and learned a lot. The main highlight this time was the Churaumi Aquarium, which was crowded, but the dolphin show was fantastic. When returning to the bus, the guide and the driver always welcomed us, and I thought that their attitude contributes to the popularity of this tour. They also paid attention to our seating, so I was never bored until the end. I would love to join again when I come back to Okinawa!

とにかくガイドさんがパワフル、唄あり、踊りあり、沖縄の歴史もよくよく説明していただき、一人での参加でしたが、とても楽しかったし、勉強になりました。今回のメイン、美ら海水族館、混んでいましたが、オキちゃんショーも最高でした。バスに戻る時は、いつもガイドさんとドライバーさんのお２人でお出迎え、その姿勢がこのツアーの人気につながっているのだなと思いました。座席にも気を使っていただき、最後まで飽きませんでした。また、沖縄に来たときは、参加したいです！

Very convenient way to see the Okinawa Aquarium from the Kadena area. The Nago Pineapple stop was a pleasant surprise. Well organized and a good value.

The crew was very kind and attentive, and although it was a short trip, I was able to enjoy it. Thank you very much.

乗務員さんがいろいろと親切に対応してくれて,短い旅だったが楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました

Very nice trip. Well organised and professionally managed by local company (Rado). Everything went smoothly. The lady in charge of the tour didn't speak well English but was very kind and attentive to all guests. I recommend it to any foreigner who wants to visit Churaumi aquarium. Pick up option from hotel is a plus. Good experience!

As expected of a sacred place, the prayer area surrounded by trees felt a bit cooler in temperature. If you have a flight around 3 PM, I recommend participating. The guide from Rad Tours was also very helpful in providing guidance.

聖地と言われるだけあって、木々に囲まれたお祈りの場所は、やや気温も低く涼しく感じた。15時前後のフライトであれば、参加をお勧めします。ラド観光のガイドさんも丁寧に案内くださって良かったです。

I think it's great to go with family. There are many photo spots, and we were able to take a lot of memorable pictures together. It was nice to take photos with the water buffalo at Ryukyu Village. The water at Manza Beach is a cerulean blue color and very beautiful, and swimming there really lifts everyone's spirits. The blue sky, blue sea, and white clouds make you feel like it's summer and the beach! It was so exciting. I also can't forget the sight of the fish swimming at the aquarium. I don't think you should miss this tour, as it really captures the essence of Okinawa.

家族で行くのが良いと思います。写真スポットがたくさんあり実際家族で思い出の写真をたくさん取ることができました。琉球村で水牛と一緒に家族で写真をとれたのは良かったと思います。万座毛ビーチの水はセロリアンブルーの色をしていてとてもきれいで、泳ぐと家族全員の気分のMAXです。青い空、青い海、白い雲。夏だ！海だ！って気持ちにさせてくれ盛り上がりました。水族館で見たお魚さん達の泳いでる姿も忘れられないいです。沖縄っぽさがいっぱい感じれるここのツアーを外すことはないと思います。

It was a tour that allowed us to efficiently visit the places we wanted in a short amount of time. I think it's definitely better than going individually since we could listen to the bus guide's explanations. However, we didn't have enough time to fully appreciate the Himeyuri Monument, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, it was a very satisfying tour.

行きたい所を短時間ですが、効率よく回れるツアーでした。
バスガイドさんの説明も聞けて個人で行くより絶対良いと思います。
ただ、ひめゆりの塔は時間が少ないので、ゆっくりは見れません。
そこだけ残念でしたが、大満足なツアーでした。

Positive points:

- They provide transportation to the hotel.
- They stop at a souvenir shop.
- The 3-hour visit to the Churaumi Aquarium was just right.
- The price is affordable.

Negative points:

- The bus was old and uncomfortable, causing a strange shaking that made my back hurt the whole time.
- There were people getting sick from motion sickness, which was unfortunate.
- It took about 10 minutes to walk from the bus stop at Churaumi Aquarium to the gate, which was tough in the heat.

I wish this information had been provided in advance.

良かった点は

ホテルまで送迎してもらえる

お土産やさんにも寄ってくれる

美ら海水族館の在在時間が3時間でちょうど良い

料金が安い


残念な点は

バスの車体が古くて座り心地が悪かった為か 変な揺れが続いていて ずーっと腰が痛かったです

乗り物酔いで 吐いてる人もいて 可哀想だった

美ら海水族館のバス停車場からゲートまでが徒歩10分もあり、暑い中 移動が大変でした

事前に記載しておいてほしいです

I was impressed by the courteous and attentive service from start to finish. The guidance on how to enjoy the Churaumi Aquarium was excellent. Thanks to this, we were able to efficiently visit the aquarium and catch the dolphin show within our limited time.

On the bus, our guide even took the time to put her hair up and wear a costume, singing with a gentle, clear voice. She was talented in playing the shamisen and also performed hula dance.

The driver also made sure to say "Have a good day" to each person every time, which showed his dedication to his work. I thought this kind of thoughtful consideration is probably the secret to making it a popular tour.

The breathtaking views of Kouri Island are still etched in my memory. I learned a lot about Okinawa's history and culture, and my whole family said they want to come back again. Thank you very much.

最初から最後まで、丁寧で行き届いた対応で感激しました。
美ら海水族館の楽しみ方や案内がすごく上手でした。
おかげで限られた時間の中、水族館からイルカショーまで効率よく
まわることができました。
バスの中ではわざわざ髪をアップして衣装を羽織り
透き通るやさしいお声で歌ってくれました。
三味線も上手、フラダンスもやっておられる多才なガイドさんです。

運転手さんも一人ひとりにきちんと毎回”いってらっしゃい”と
声を掛けていて、仕事に対する姿勢を感じました。
こういう細やかな気遣いが、人気ツアーになる秘訣なのかな
と思いました。

古宇利島の絶景は、今でも目に焼き付いています。
沖縄の歴史・文化もたくさん教えていただいて楽しかったので、
家族皆また来たいと言っていました。
ありがとうとざいました。

The price was reasonable, and in the end, they took us to the airport, allowing us to spend our morning meaningfully. However, there was no explanation from the guide on-site, so it ended up being just sightseeing. We arrived before the opening time and had to wait for a while. Only at the Himeyuri Monument did we have an explanation, and we all participated in a moment of silence. Thanks to the explanation, we understood the situation and feelings from that time, which was valuable. I would appreciate it if they could include a guide's explanation, even if it means an additional fee. However, the tour content was great as it allowed us to visit the places we wanted to smoothly, making it a good deal.

お値段もお得で、最後は空港まで送ってくださるので、午前中の時間を有意義に過ごせました。
でも、現地でもガイドさんの説明がないので、見るだけになってしまったり、開園時間前に
ついて、しばらく待たされてたり、最後のひめゆりの塔のみ、説明があり、黙とうをみんなで
しましたが、説明があったことにより、その時の状況や気持ちがわかり、いいものでした。いくらか追加料金があってもいいので、ガイドさんの説明をつけてほしいです。でも、ツアー内容は、行きたい場所をスムーズに回ってくれるので、お得でした。

The place I really wanted to visit on my first trip to Okinawa was the Churaumi Aquarium. I was staying with friends who live in Okinawa, so while they were at work, I planned to enjoy the aquarium. However, I found out that it was farther from Naha than I expected and there were no transportation options available. I signed up for a bus tour that offered a longer stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, and about four hours flew by in no time. Since other facilities were located far away, if you spend too long enjoying the aquarium, you might not have enough time to explore everything else. I got so captivated by the large tanks that I ended up rushing to the dolphin show!

初めての沖縄でとにかく行きたかったところ！
それは美ら海水族館でした。
沖縄在住の友達の所へお世話になっていたので彼らが仕事中、水族館を満喫しようと思ってたのですが、思いのほか那覇から遠いことと、交通手段が無い？事でした。
バスツアーの中でも美ら海水族館の滞在時間が長いこちらのツアーに申し込み、約4時間、あっという間でしたね。
水族館以外の施設が離れたところにあったりして、水族館をあまり長く堪能してると回りきれなくなってしまいます。
私は巨大水槽に見入ってしまい大慌てでイルカショーへ向かうはめになってしまいました。

I was able to visit the Seifa Utaki and Hamabe no Chaya, which I had wanted to see for a long time, and the price was a great deal. It was also nice that I could be guided by bus without needing to rent a car, allowing me to enjoy sightseeing without getting tired. I definitely want to use this service again.

以前から行ってみたかった斎場御嶽と浜辺の茶屋に行けてこのお値段はお値打ちです。
レンタカーを借りなくてもバスで案内してもらえ、疲れることなく観光できたのも良かったです。
是非、また利用したいです。

The tour began with a pickup at Kenmin Hiroba in front of Kencho-mae Station on the Yui Rail.

Right after boarding the bus, it started to rain heavily while we were waiting to depart. I panicked a bit since I didn't bring an umbrella, but fortunately, the bus had umbrellas available, and by the time we arrived at Sefa Utaki, the rain had completely stopped, and we didn't get rained on afterward, so it turned out fine.

However, it was a downpour like a bucket being overturned.

Sefa Utaki, with its sacred atmosphere, is a very captivating place. Thinking that events were held here from Shuri long ago fills me with indescribable emotions just being in that spot.

At first, I couldn't find the triangular hole (Sangui: Sankuri), which I wanted to see the most. As I followed the indicated route, there was a T-junction along the way, but the route didn't point in that direction, leading straight ahead to a dead end without the triangular hole.

In the end, I retraced my steps back to the T-junction, thought for a moment, and decided to turn since I wanted to explore everything. To my delight, I found the triangular hole deeper inside (laughs).

I enjoyed going through the hole and then left Sefa Utaki.

Next, we headed to Okinawa World, where we enjoyed the Kingdom Village and Gyokusendo Cave.

Due to time constraints, we rushed through Gyokusendo Cave (laughs). In the hot Okinawa weather, it was a bit cool, but not quite refreshing, just a little muggy.

After emerging above ground, I savored the Kingdom Village. Since it was hot, I couldn't resist having a beer at a local brewery café, and I spent a blissful time (I wonder if I was really sightseeing? Laughs).

At the Himeyuri Monument, I felt the tragedy of past wars and reflected on many things. War is truly unacceptable.

This concluded the tour, but the southern attractions were quite impressive.

ツアーの始まりは、ゆいレールの県庁前駅近くの県民広場前でのピックアップでした。

バスに乗車直後、出発待ちの間に雨がもの凄い勢いで降り出し、傘も持たずにツアーに来てしまったので焦りましたがバスに傘の用意があった事と斎場御嶽に着く前にはすっかり雨もあがり、その後も降られずに済んだので、事無きを得ました。

しかし、バケツをひっくり返したような凄い雨でした。

聖地と言う匂いの斎場御嶽は、とても惹かれる場所で、遥か昔に首里からここまで催事を行うために来ていたのだと思うとその場に居る事に何とも言えない想いが込み上げます。

最初、1番見たかった三角形の穴（さんぐぅい：三庫理）がなく、順路と書かれている方向に向かって行くと途中Tの字になっている場所があるが、順路は、その方向を示しておらず直進し、行き止まりとなりましたが、三角形の穴がない。

結局、順路を戻り、先程のTの字の所まで来て少し考えましたが、折角なので全部散策したい想いで曲がって見た所、奥に三角形の穴がありました（笑）。

穴を潜り満喫、斎場御嶽を後にしました。

次におきなわワールド文化王国玉泉洞窟へ向かい王国村と玉泉洞を満喫。

時間もない事から玉泉洞は、ほぼ駆け足でした（笑）。
暑い沖縄では、少しだけ冷んやりで、涼しいとまではいかなく、ちょっと蒸し暑かった。

地上にでて王国村を堪能、暑かったので地ビール喫茶？で、ビールを思わず飲み至福の時間を過ごしたのは言うまでもありません（観光してるのかぁ〜笑）。

ひめゆりの塔では、過去の戦争での惨劇を感じ、考えさせられるものを多く感じました。
本当に戦争は、いけませんね。

これでツアーは、終わりでしたが、南部の観光も中々のものです。

It was a trip with a friend, and since we didn't have a driver's license, I thought it might be difficult to go around to various places in a timely manner. However, I was right to book this tour. We were able to visit almost all the places we wanted to, and we made effective use of our time.

友達と2人旅でしたが、車の免許がない為、あちこち行くのは時間的に無理かもと思っていましたが、こちらのツアーを申し込んで正解でした。
行きたかった所がほぼ回れて時間が有効に使えました。

I traveled alone to Okinawa at the end of the year and used this service. Okinawa is inconvenient without a car, but since I was alone and couldn't drive, it was a very efficient and great bus tour.
Seifa Utaki was also magical, and the Himeyuri Monument is a place I wanted to visit as a Japanese person.
I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

年末に沖縄一人旅に行って利用しました。沖縄は車がないと不便ですが、一人だし運転できないしで、とっても効率的ないいバスツアーでした。
斎場御嶽(せーふぁうたき）も幻想的だったし、ひめゆりの塔は日本人として行っておきたい場所でした。
また機会があったら利用したいです。

It was really great that they efficiently took us to each sightseeing spot. Since I can't drive, I initially tried to go by bus, but there were so few buses that I decided to sign up for this tour.

In the end, it was a perfect choice! I don't think I could have visited so many places in one day on my own. Plus, I was able to rest during the transfers, so it was physically manageable. The guide was also very nice, showcasing traditional performing arts like folk songs and dances, and providing detailed explanations of the attractions.

Considering the price, it's definitely a great deal! Entrance fees are included as well.

効率よく各名所に連れて行ってくれるので凄く良かったです。車は運転出来ないため、バスで行く事も当初試みましたが あまりに本数が少なかったので今回のツアーに申し込みました。
でも結果、大正解！個人では一日でこんなに廻れないと思います。しかも移動中に休めるので体力的にも無理無く廻れました。またガイドさんがとても良い方で、伝統芸能である民謡やダンスを披露してくれたり名所を細かく説明してくれたり、、
とにかく値段を考えたら絶対的にお得です！入場料も込みですし。

I was a great half-day trip for those who have an afternoon flight or had no rental car like us!

All the attractions (Seifa-utaki, Okinawa world/Mibaru beach, and Himeyuri) are quite far from Naha city unless you rent a car. So I recommend this tour if you don't or can't drive.

Even though the tour guide doesn't speak English, she (if I'm not wrong, her name is Nakamura-san) did her best to help us, which I really appreciated,

But as it was a half-day trip, there was not much time, especially Okinawa World which we had only about an hour, so we only enjoyed the Cave, didn't actually spending time on the Village and snake museum. (alternatively, you can go the Mibaru beach instead - choose either)

Sata-andagi was given for free at Himeyuri too.

The cost doesn't include admission fees, but in total, it was an acceptable amount of money (Seifa-utaki=300yen, Okinawa World=1440yen(free pass), Himeyuri=310yen)

It was a memorable trip. I learned quite a lot about Okinawa History. However, i got burned a lot (it's a very hot summer anyway) so put on sunscreen and enjoy!

It was just right for me, who can't drive, to attend to my mother. Due to time constraints, it felt a bit rushed at times, but considering the price, I was quite satisfied.

車の運転が出来ない私が、母親をアテンドするにはちょうど良かったです。
時間の都合上、少し所々忙しない感じもしますが、値段からすると充分満足できます。

That was my first experience with Veltra. Well organized, enough time to see the Churaumi aquarium. Nago pineapples are awesome. First time I was given a small gifts during an excersion, RADO provider was excellent.

While the children were on their school trip, the parents also started planning their own trip, and it was decided that they would go to Okinawa with this tour. The attractions were concentrated, and the inclusion of light snacks made it a very convenient tour for housewives.

子供達が修学旅行に行っている間に、親たちも修学旅行へと話が進み、沖縄行き決定でこちらのツアーへ。
観光地が凝縮されていて、更に軽食付きで主婦にありがたいツアーでした。

The meeting time is early, but the content is fulfilling. The tour guide explained everything thoroughly and even sang, which made me feel the essence of Okinawa. I recommend it if your flight is after 2 PM. The only concern was that the bus arrived after the meeting time, which made me anxious, and it wasn't clear that it was a Rad Tour bus since it didn't have the name written on it.

集合時間は早いが充実の内容。
添乗員さんも丁寧に説明してくれて歌まで歌ってくれて沖縄を感じました。
フライトが14時以降ならオススメ。
唯一、バスが来たのは集合時間過ぎていて不安になったことと、バスにラド観光と書いてないので分かりづらいなと思いました。

Although my stay at Churaumi was short and I couldn't explore thoroughly, I was able to visit various points, making it a cost-effective option for first-time visitors to Naha without a car. However, it was disappointing that there were delays due to participants from China and South Korea arriving late, which cut into our sightseeing time. I think it would be better to implement measures such as thorough English announcements or providing notices in various languages. The tour guide was enthusiastic and even sang songs while guiding us.

美ら海での滞在が短くてじっくりは見れないが、色んなポイントに行けるので初めての那覇観光で車のない人にはコスパも良いしおすすめ出来る。
しかし、中国や韓国の方もいて集合時間に遅れて次の見学時間が削られたりという事もあったのが残念。
英語でのアナウンスを徹底するか、各言語での注意書きを渡すなど何か対策した方が良いと思う。
添乗員さんは歌を歌ってくれたり一生懸命ガイドをしてくれました。

We participated as a family. The guide made sure to cover all the key points, and my elderly parents were very happy. The Churaumi Aquarium was also fun. The guide was kind too!

家族で参加しました。ポイントを抑えてまわってくださって高齢の両親もよろこんでました。
美ら海水族館も楽しかったです。ガイドさんも親切でした～

I felt that it was a great deal to visit these places at this price. It's cheaper than going by bus, so if the timing works out, I would like to use it again.

この値段でこれらの場所を回ってくれるのは、お得だと感じました。普通にバスで行くよりも安いので、時間が合えばまた利用したいです。

REALLY GOOD TRIP, Well organized n planned. Had fun with my friend

We came only for the aquarium but the extra stops at pineapple and butterfly were nice too. The guide could not speak English but we knew that before. She did her best to help us with the tour. Normally we do not book tours on holidays but the regular bus in Okinawa is expensive and not very useful
