All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

Since we participated from Naha, we departed just after 8:20 and disbanded close to 8 in the evening. I would like to reduce the number of sightseeing spots along the way and focus on the Churaumi Aquarium as the main attraction, which would be sufficient for satisfaction. A nearly 12-hour duration is tiring.

那覇から参加だったので８時20分過ぎから出発、夜も８時近くに解散。
途中の見学地、少し減らし、美ら海水族館メインのツアーで十分満足という設定にしてほしい。
12時間近い所要時間は疲れる

I didn't find Ryukyu Village necessary. It was an old facility with not much to see. If the ticket price is 2,000 yen, I would have preferred to either reduce the tour cost or allow more time to stay at Banta Cafe. While it might be worth it for foreigners, I felt it wasn't a tourist spot worth visiting without a tour, as it seemed deserted. The spots where I could feel the nature and grandeur, like Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, and Banta Cafe, were enough. The time spent there was too long and tiring. The bus guide was good.

琉球村はいらなかった。古い施設であまり観るものもなかった。チケット代2000円もするなら、この分ツアー代を安くするか、その時間をバンタカフェで長く滞在させて欲しかったです。外国人ならまだしもツアーでないと、さびれててわざわざ行く観光スポットでは無いと感じた。美ら海水族館や万座毛、バンタカフェの自然や雄大さを感じれるスポットだけで良かった。時間も長過ぎて疲れた。バスガイドさんは良かった。

The activity is fantastic, thanks to the wonderful support from the captain. After confirming participation, I received a video with subtitles detailing the parking location and meeting point, which was very easy to understand.

After filling out the participant information, we set sail. The captain provided a clear explanation of the yacht, which was reassuring. The boat is well-equipped, complete with sunshades, and is very clean. I think the cost performance is excellent if you can experience steering this boat.

I would definitely like to participate again.

One point to note is that, as shown in the photos, the boat is quite small, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting seasick.

If you don't get seasick, there's no doubt you'll have a special experience in Okinawa.

主催者の船長さんの対応が素晴らしいアクティビティです。
参加確定後、駐車場の場所と集合場所までの内容が動画にテロップ付きで送られてくるので非常にわかりやすかったです。

参加者の情報記入後、出航。
船長さんがヨットの説明を分かり易くしてくれて安心できます。
船の設備しっかりしており、日除け用のパラソル完備。清掃も行き届いています。
この船に乗れて操縦体験もできるなら非常にコストパフォーマンスいいと思います。

また、参加したいアクティビティです。

注意点としては、写真の通り非常に小さい船なので酔いやすい為、酔い止めを飲んでおくといいでしょう。

酔わなければ、沖縄で特別な体験ができること間違いなしです。

Due to the typhoon, I was the only participant, which made me feel a bit apologetic starting off with just one person in a large bus. The guide was very professional, and the driver always greeted us with a smile, creating a good balance between the two. The content of the tour was incredibly fulfilling, covering key points in locations that are quite far from Naha, which made me very satisfied. The sky restaurant for lunch was also in a private setting, and the view was spectacular, making it a place I would like to visit again. I recommend this tour for those who want to enjoy the nature of the northern region.

台風が発生していたせいか参加者は私一人で
大きなバスに1名参加で申し訳ない思いのスタートでした。
ガイドさんは淡々と仕事をされておられましたが
運転手さんがいつも笑顔で声をかけて下さり、お二人で良いバランスが取れています。
内容はとにかく充実しており、那覇から距離がある場所でポイントを押さえており満足ができるものでした。
お昼の天空レストランも貸し切り状態でした、景色が絶景でまた訪れたい場所になりました。
北部の自然を楽しみたい方にはお勧めのツアーです、

The bus guide provided various information, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing very much. When I travel to Okinawa again, I would like to use a bus tour to visit different places.

バスガイドさんも、色々案内していただき、非常に楽しく観光することができました。
また、沖縄に旅行に行くときは、別の場所を観光するバスツアーがあれば利用したいと思います。

Since it was a sightseeing bus, it felt busy, so I hurriedly walked through the cave. I was told that it would be warmer inside the cave than I imagined, but it wasn't really the case. The interior was well-maintained, and I had no concerns at all.

観光バスなので忙しい感じだったので、急いで鍾乳洞を見て歩いた。想像されるより鍾乳洞内は暖かいですよ、と言われたたが、そうでもなかった。内部は整備されていて、全く不安はありませんでした。

As a resident of Naha City, I took my friend, who came to visit Okinawa, on this bus tour for the first time. In Okinawa, which is a car-centric society, there may be some discrepancies in sightseeing time due to traffic conditions, but I think this is a very convenient and reasonable way to explore various tourist spots in one day at this price. The weather was nice, and the sea was beautiful, so my friend was satisfied and happy. The female tour conductor was also working very hard, which I found very admirable. However, there were many foreign participants, and perhaps due to cultural differences, there were a few who did not adhere to the meeting time. It was quite unfortunate to see the tour conductor running around and making phone calls each time this happened.

那覇市在住の者で、今回沖縄観光で此方へ遊びに来た友人を連れて初めてこちらのバスツアーを利用しました。
車社会の沖縄において、道路の混み具合によっては多少観光時間に誤差が生じる事もあるでしょうが、この値段で1日で色んな観光地を回れるなら、沖縄では大変便利でリーズナブルな観光手段だと思います。
天気も良く、海も美しかったので、友人も満足して喜んでいました。
ツアーコンダクターの女性の方も一生懸命に仕事をされていて、非常に好感が持てました。
ただ、参加者に外国人の方も多くいらして、そのお国柄なのか、集合時間を守らない方がちらほらいらしたので、その都度ツアコンの女性が走り回ったり、電話をかけまくったりする姿を見るととても気の毒でした。

I participated in the tour on July 19. The facilities, including the aquarium, were great, but the red sweet potato tart from the snack shop recommended by the guide, as well as the sata andagi from Sanya Honpo that we had at Manzamo, were delicious! Thank you to the guide!

7/19のツアーに参加しました。
水族館などの施設も良かったけど、ガイドさんがおすすめしてくれたお菓子御殿の紅いも生タルトや万座毛で食べた三矢本舗のサーターアンダギー、ミキボウルが美味しかった！
ガイドさんありがとうございました！

This plan, which allows you to visit the iconic tourist spots of Okinawa in one day, was very enjoyable for me as a beginner in Okinawa. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I believe I gained a deeper understanding of Okinawa. The views from the bus window were outstanding, and it was enjoyable no matter which side you sat on. It was also lucky that we happened to see fighter jets flying, possibly due to some training that day. The whale sharks at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium were impressive and wonderful, but personally, I found the manatees to be so cute that I want to visit them again.

ザ・沖縄といった観光名所を一日で周れるこのプランは、沖縄初心者のわたしにはとても楽しめました。バスガイドさんのお話もとても聞きやすく、沖縄への理解を深められたと思います。車窓からの景色は抜群で、左右どちらに座っても楽しめるようになっていました。この日はたまたま訓練をしていたのか、戦闘機が飛ぶ様を見れたのもラッキーでした。美ら海水族館のジンベエザメも迫力があって素敵でしたが、個人的にはマナティーが可愛くてまた会いに行きたいなと思いました。

I requested a private tour for 10 hours!
Pineapple Park
Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
Kouri Bridge
American Village
A&W
Kokusai Street
We visited all of these! Haha
We even had extra time, and it was very fulfilling!!!
There were some things I couldn't catch due to the Okinawan dialect in the tour guide's explanations, but it was still really good and fun! Haha
The driver was very kind and taught us about Okinawa's standard menu items and how to buy tickets at a discount.
I think I'll request this again when I come to Okinawa! ♩

10時間プランで貸切お願いしました！
パイナップルパーク
美ら海水族館
古宇利大橋
アメリカンビレッジ
a&w
国際通り
これ全部まわりました！笑
それでも時間が余ってしまうくらいで
とても充実しました！！！
沖縄なまりの観光案内で、聞き取れないこともありましたが、それもとっても良くて楽しかったです！笑
沖縄の定番メニューだったり、
チケットを安くで買える方法だったりも教えてくれて、とっても優しい運転手さんでした♩
沖縄来た時はまたお願いしようと思います♩

The staff were attentive and enthusiastic. Although there was traffic on the way, there were alternative options available. The signage was clear, and the fireworks festival was truly moving. I highly recommend coming to see it if you have the chance!

工作為員細心且熱情，雖然路上堵車但亦有其他方案，標示清晰，花火大會真的很感動，推廣有機會的要來觀看！

On the first day of the holiday in Okinawa, where the maximum temperature exceeded 35 degrees, I was kindly guided along less congested routes to sightseeing spots and entrances. Despite the delay of my flight and the tight schedule, I appreciated the detailed explanations provided in the car at each location. I was very happy to experience the hospitality of Okinawa, a place I was unfamiliar with, and it made my trip enjoyable.

最高気温が35度を超える沖縄での連休初日
渋滞の道路を混まない道を選んで見学場所や入り口まで親切に案内していただきました^_^飛行機の到着が遅れ工程も押せ押せのなか一箇所ずつ丁寧に車中で説明も加えていただき助かりました^_^知らない沖縄で観光県のおもてなしにとても嬉しく旅行ができました

【Tour Guide and Meeting Place】
I waited at the meeting place, Kenmin Plaza, but the tour guide did not come to call us. There was a person who seemed to be from a tour company in front of the adjacent Diet Member Hall, but there were no placards or bus signs. Since various tour companies use Kenmin Plaza, I couldn't identify which one was ours and waited until the time. Then, I was called via phone, which made me feel uncomfortable. The guide should have come to call us in advance, asking, "Is anyone from XX Tour here?" Other companies were announcing their groups. I spent the day with a tour guide who offered no apology or smile.
【Oishi Forest Park】
There are four courses: red, yellow, blue, and green, but I was told I couldn't go to the green Gajumaru Forest course. I wanted to go there, but I gave up. I wish the tour details had been written more clearly.

【添乗員と集合場所】
集合場所の県民広場で待つも添乗員は呼びに来ず。
隣の議員会館前にプラカードもバスの表示も無いツアー会社らしき人物あり。
県民広場は様々なツアー会社が利用されてるので判別出来ず時間まで待つ。
すると電話で呼び出され気分が悪い。
本来の集合場所に事前に『〇〇ツアーの方はいませんか?』と呼びに来るべきだろう。
他の会社は声出しされていた。
お詫びも笑顔もない添乗員と1日過ごす。
【大石林山】
赤黄青緑の4コース有るが、緑のガジュマル森林コースに行けないと言われた。
そこに行きたかったのにと思いつつ諦める。
ツアー詳細に分かりやすく書いて欲しかった。

I like aquariums and visit them occasionally, but that large tank was truly impressive. Other aquariums have manta rays, but the ones here were bigger. Since it was a bus tour, I wished I could have taken a bit more time to enjoy it.

水族館は好きで時々いきますが、あの大水槽は大迫力でした。他の水族館にもマンタはいますがここのは大きかった。バスツアーだったので、もう少しゆっきり見たかったと思いました。

I had always wanted to go at least once in my lifetime, so I was very satisfied that my wish came true. The sight of the colorful fish swimming, unique to the Churaumi Aquarium, was truly wonderful.

一生に一度は行きたいと思っていたので、念願が叶いとても満足しました。美ら海水族館ならではの、カラフルな魚たちが泳いでる姿はとても良かったです。

The guide talked about war and military-related topics, and the atmosphere on the bus was quite dark, which dampened my excited mood. Overall, the course was busy but still somewhat enjoyable.

戦争や軍備関連のはなしをするガイドさんで、結構行きのバスの雰囲気は暗く、ワクワクしていた気分が落ち込んでしまった。
コース全体の内容は、忙しいけどまぁまぁ楽しめた。

This tour is very convenient and enjoyable, as it takes you around several sightseeing spots just by riding the bus from Naha City to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The tour guide was kind and very considerate, sharing information about Okinawa's history and culture that made for a great learning experience.

Although the schedule was a bit tight due to the packed itinerary, leaving little time for a leisurely lunch, it was still a very fun tour.

那覇市内から美ら海水族館を中心にバスに乗っているだけで、いくつかの観光スポットを回ってくれるので、とっても楽ちんで便利なツアーです。ツアーガイドさんは優しくとても気遣いのある方で、沖縄の文化や外の風景に合わせて沖縄の歴史などもバス内でお話ししてくださって勉強になります。

いろいろな箇所を詰め込んでくれているため、少しスケジュールがきつくゆっくりランチを取る余裕はありませんでしたが、とても楽しいツアーでした。

It was great that we didn't have to drive, and we had the freedom to choose the start time and destination, making it more flexible than a bus tour. After sightseeing, we rented a car, but since the price wasn't much different, we should have just had them take us to the hotel and arranged for a ride back as well. It was very comfortable.

運転もしなくて良いですし、開始時間も行き先も自分達の自由なのでバスツアーよりも融通が効いてよかったです。観光の後、レンタカーを借りたのてすが、値段的にそれほど変わらないので、ホテルまで送ってもらい、帰りも頼んでしまえばよかったです。とても快適でした。

I took an 8-hour tour around northern Okinawa. I picked out the places I wanted to visit in advance, and the driver created the route considering the sightseeing time at each location. Along the way, the driver took us to recommended shops and even to tourist spots we hadn't researched, which made the experience more enjoyable than we expected! I was also grateful for the photos he took. It was really fun to talk about Okinawa during the drive! If I come back to Okinawa, I would definitely like to use this service again! Thank you very much.

8時間コースで沖縄北部をまわってもらいました。事前に行きたい所をピックアップしておいて、あとは運転手さんが現地での見学時間などを考慮してルートを作ってくださいました。コースの途中、運転手さんのオススメのお店に寄ってくださったり、私たちが調べていなかった観光スポットにも寄ってくださって、思いのほか楽しめました！写真も撮ってくれて有り難かったです。移動中の車内でも沖縄の話を色々してくださって本当に楽しかったです！もしまた沖縄旅行にきた際には利用したいです！ありがとうございました。

I had been looking forward to my trip to Okinawa, but it was quite challenging for members who couldn't drive! Usually, we reluctantly opt for a tour with a guide, but in Okinawa, many schedules have you arriving in the evening and leaving in the morning, which feels wasteful. So, I booked a hotel and flights through a travel agency and signed up for a one-day tour in the middle of my stay. They picked me up at 9 AM from my hotel in Chatan and dropped me back off, which was really convenient! The places I wanted to visit were all included, making it perfect for someone who can't drive! I stayed at a hotel in Chatan for multiple nights, but reflecting on it, if I had arranged for the pickup from the Chatan hotel and the drop-off at a hotel in Naha for the return, it would have made the last day's travel much easier. While tours with a guide are cheaper and allow for sightseeing at various places, the airplane seats can be separated, and the hotel quality can be significantly lower... This time was really good, so I would like to use this service again!

The weather in Okinawa was unpredictable; it was sunny one moment and then cloudy or rainy the next. This was not the tour's fault at all, but if we could have done indoor sightseeing first or had more flexibility with the weather and time, it would have been perfect. I was especially looking forward to Kouri Island, but I was saddened to be caught in the rain there temporarily. The guide was also very engaging and made the trip enjoyable. I would like to use this service again, so thank you!

行きたかった沖縄旅行、運転できないメンバーにはなかなかハードルが高くて！いつもは仕方なく添乗員同行ツアーにするのですが、沖縄だと夕方ついて帰りも午前中帰るスケジュールが多くもったいないのでホテルと飛行機を旅行会社でとり、中日にこちらの1日ツアーを申し込みました。9時に北谷のホテルからピックアップ、帰りもホテルまで送ってくれるので本当に楽でした！行きたかった場所もしっかり入っていて、運転できない身としては神！北谷のホテルに連泊したのですが、このツアーを使うなら、北谷のホテルでピックアップしてもらって、帰りは那覇のホテルに送ってもらう、にしたら最終日の移動がもっと楽だったなぁ、などと反省。添乗員同行ツアーだと安くてあちこち観光に行けるけど飛行機の座席が離れたり、ホテルのランクがかなり下だったり…で。今回とても良かったのでまた利用したいと思いました！
沖縄の天気は気まぐれで晴れていたのに雲がかかったりスコールが通ったり。ツアーのせいではまったくないのですが、室内観光を先にしたり天気と時間の融通がきいたら満点です。1番楽しみにしていた古宇利島だけ一時的に雨に降られてしまって悲しかったので。
ガイドさんもいろいろ話してくれて楽しい旅が出来ました。また利用したいと思いますのでよろしくお願いします。

Good trip to discover the island of Okinawa and the aquarium - more material in English needed as the audioguides had insufficient info and connection. Very nice guide for japanese speaking visitors.

The driver who guided us was kind, and we made many memories in Okinawa. Thank you very much. I want to go to Okinawa again.

案内をしていただいた運転手の方が親切で、沖縄での想いでがたくさんできました。ありがとうございました。沖縄へまた行きたくなりました。

I appreciate the tour that takes you to famous places since it's far to the Yanbaru area. It would have been nice to have the stay time on Kouri Island increased to two hours or more.

ヤンバル方面へは遠いため専用で有名な場所を回ってくれるツアーには感謝しています。
古宇利島での滞在時間を２時間とか増やして貰うと良かったです。

The weather was favorable, and we had plenty of time at our stop. However, I didn't check the start time for the dolphin show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in advance, so when we arrived, it was already nearing the end. Since our stay at the aquarium was only two hours, including lunch, it would have been wiser to limit our time exploring the exhibits and head straight to the highlight, the dolphin show.

For those who are not primarily interested in shopping, the stop at the Okashi Goten may not be appealing. The English-speaking guide was full of hospitality. The driver also assisted the guide, showcasing great teamwork. It was unfortunate to see some participants from the Chinese-speaking region frequently arriving late for the gathering.

天候に恵まれ、立ち寄り先の滞在時間は十分でした。ただ、美ら海水族館のイルカショーの開始時間を前もってチェックしておかなかったので、駆けつけた時は既に終了間際でした。昼食時間を入れて水族館の滞在は2時間のため、館内見学はほどほどにして、目玉のイルカショーに向かった方が賢明です。
ツアー参加が、買い物メインでない人には、御菓子御殿の立ち寄りは興味がないところでしょう。英日喋るガイドさんはホスピタリティーに溢れていました。ドライバーさんもガイドさんを補助されて、チームワークの良さが見えました。中華圏の参加者で、よく遅れて集合する人達が散見されたのは残念でした。

Thank you very much for your kindness. The Okinawa soba you took me to was delicious. I had a wonderful time.

とても親切にしていただき、ありがとうございました。連れて行ってもらった沖縄そばも美味しかったです。楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。

The bus guide was very experienced, and the stories were quite interesting. Perhaps because it was a weekday during the rainy season, there were only six participants on the large bus, which made it comfortable. Fortunately, the weather was nice that day, and it was great to explore both Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley with a small group. Both places have rough terrain, so I recommend wearing sneakers. Personally, I prefer the Gangala Valley over Okinawa World. The walking time is long, but the pace is quite slow. Since we walked with the guide, we could hear various stories about history and plants. They mentioned that the maximum group size is about 20 people, but we were just six.

経験豊富なバスガイドさんで、お話がとても興味深かったです。梅雨の中の平日だったせいか、大きなバスに6人しか参加者がおらず、快適でした。幸運にもこの日はお天気に恵まれ、斎場御獄もガンガラーの谷も少人数で回れて良かったです。どちらも足場が悪いので、スニーカーで行くことをお勧めします。個人的には、おきなわワールドよりガンガラーの谷がお勧めです。歩く時間は長いですが、ペースはかなりゆっくりです。ガイドさんと一緒に歩くので、歴史から植物と色んな話を聞けます。最大20人程で回るとのことですが、私達は6人でした。

Since our morning meeting didn't go well, I left feeling worried, but it turned out that my concerns were unnecessary. The local team was flexible and packed our plan with experiences that we wouldn't have been able to do with a rental car. They also made sure we were on time for our return, and I think I would prefer a hire service over a rental car next time. Thank you very much.

朝の待ち合わせがうまくいかなかったので、心配しながら出発しましたが、心配なんて、必要なかったほど、レンタカーでは出来なかったであろう現地の方ならではの私たちの希望をしっかり詰め込んだプランを臨機応変に対応して下さいました。
帰りも伝えた時間に間に合わせてくださり、次回以降もレンタカーよりハイヤーがいいなと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

It was the rainy season, so it rained on the day of the bus tour as well. Unfortunately, we couldn't go to Manzamo, but we had a great time at Pineapple Park and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It was also raining at Pineapple Park, but we could ride small cars around the pineapple fields, so the kids enjoyed themselves regardless of the rain. The tour guide shared a lot of information about Okinawa on the bus, making the ride enjoyable too.

梅雨の時期だったので、バスツアー当日も雨でした。残念ながら万座毛には行けずでしたが、パイナップルパーク、美ら海水族館で楽しめたので良かったです。パイナップルパークでも雨でしたが、雨でも園内は小さい車に乗ってパイナップル園を回れるので子ども達は雨関係なしに楽しんでて良かったです。バスでは添乗員さんが沖縄について色々と話してくれるので、バスの中も楽しかったです。

I definitely recommend the bus tour. I didn't rent a car so I was looking for things to do... the bus tour took us to 5 different attractions. It was great, didn't need to worry about driving and even fell asleep on the way back after all the walking all day. Just do it, you won't regret it! A+! I even booked another 3 attraction bus tour for a different day. If you are thinking about going, think no more and just book the bus tour. Thanks Phil

Without a car, it's convenient to be taken to multiple places just by sitting. Nago Pineapple Park might appeal to children, but it wasn't necessary for me. Instead, I would have preferred to go somewhere else. The system with audio guides through earphones was nice. Overall, I was satisfied.

車なしで、車がなければ行きにくい所へも、座っていれば何か所も連れて行っていただけるので楽です。
名護パイナップルパークは子供受けはするかもですが、なくても良かったです。その代わり別の所へ行きたかった。
イヤホンで音声ガイドを聞くシステム。
総じて満足です。
