All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

The tour guide was very polite, and even though I participated alone, I was able to enjoy myself without any worries. The destination was just the right plan! I thought I would like to participate again. ^ ^

添乗員さんはとても丁寧で1人で参加しましたが、不安なところもなく楽しむことが出来ました。行き先もちょうどいいプランでした！
また参加したいなと思いました〜^ ^

I have visited Okinawa many times, but I had never had the opportunity to go to the northernmost part until I found and signed up for this tour to Okiyama. Okiyama provided a lot of energy as I expected, but I was dissatisfied with the short amount of time we had there, which didn't allow me to fully enjoy it.

I also wonder if it is necessary to combine Churaumi Aquarium and Okiyama in the same course. I would have liked the tour organizer to change the course to focus on power spots and double the time spent at Okiyama.

何度も沖縄を訪れていますが、最北まで行く機会がなかったのですが、大石林山に行くこのツアーを見つけ申し込みました。大石林山は期待どおりに沢山のパワーを頂くことができましたが、あまりにも滞在時間が短くてゆっくり堪能する事が出来なかったのが不満でした。
そもそも美ら海水族館と大石林山が同じコースにする必要があるのか疑問です。ツアー主催者にパワースポットを集めたコースに変更して、大石林山の滞在時間を倍にしていただければと思いました。

I participated alone this time, but the driver and guide were very pleasant, and the weather was nice, so I was able to have a great time. I enjoyed the Churaumi Aquarium enough in two and a half hours. I didn't have high expectations for Ryukyu Village, but the show held in the square was unexpectedly enjoyable. The relocated traditional houses were also impressive. The steakhouse I added as an option was fun with the performance right in front of me, and the food was delicious. Thank you very much.

今回は１人参加でしたが、運転者さん、ガイドさん、とても感じがよく、お天気もよかったので、楽しく過ごすことができました。美ら海水族館も2時間半で十分楽しめました。琉球村はそんなに期待していなかったのですが、広場で行われたショーが思いの外楽しかったです。そして、移築された古民家も見応えありました。オプションでつけたステーキハウスも、目の前でのパフォーマンスも楽しく、おいしくいただきました。ありがとうございました。

In the morning, while waiting for the bus in front of the prefectural office, there were some tourists from China, which was a bit confusing, but I quickly figured out when the bus arrived.

Perhaps due to the coronavirus, there were few participants, so I was able to use the seats comfortably. The journey to the aquarium was quite long, but once I arrived, I enjoyed it so much that I forgot about the passage of time. I wished I had about 30 more minutes, but considering the return trip, I thought it couldn't be helped.

On the way back, we stopped at a theme park introducing Ryukyu culture, but it was already late, so there were few visitors, which felt a bit lonely. If someone had told me about the highlights, I might have enjoyed it more. However, seeing the manta rays at the aquarium made me forget about everything else.

朝、県庁前でバスを待っていたら、中国のツアーの方がいて紛らわしかったのですが、バスの到着はすぐわかりました。
コロナウィルスのせいか参加者は少なく座席をゆったりと使えました。
水族館までは結構の道のりでしたふが、到着したら時間のたつのを忘れるほど
楽しめました。もう30分くらい余裕があればいいなと思いましたが、
帰りを考えるとしょうがないかなと思いました。
帰り道で琉球の文化を紹介しているテーマパークに寄ったのですが、すでに
遅い時間なので入場者も少なくて寂しかったです。見どころを教えていただければ楽しめたかもしれません。でも、水族館のマンタの雄姿が見れて他のことは忘れました。

This was my second time participating. My main purpose was Oishi Forest, but when I participated two or three years ago, the meeting place after the walk was at the upper entrance. After the Gajumaru course, I was waiting for the bus alone at the lower parking lot. The staff at the parking lot contacted the bus, so there were no troubles, but... This time, the walking time was longer than last time, and meeting at the lower parking lot made a lot of sense. There was also a juice service, which was nice. While many might be there for the aquarium, I think it would be good to have a bit more time at Oishi Forest, even if it means cutting back on the aquarium a little.

2度目の参加でした。
大石林山が主な目的でしたが、2、3年前に参加した時は、散策後の集合場所が上の入り口でしたので、ガジュマルコースの後、私だけ下の駐車場で、バスを待っていました。
駐車場の係の方が、バスに連絡してくれたので、何もトラブルはありませんでしたが………
今回は、散策時間も前回より長く、下の駐車場集合と、とても理にかなっていましたし、ジュースのサービスもあり、良かったです。
水族館が目的の方も多いのかもしれませんが、水族館を多少削って、もう少し大石林山の時間があってもいいと思いました。

I participated in the Ganagara Valley tour for the first time. It was a guided tour, and the guide's explanations were great, allowing us to explore this mystical place.

初めてガンガラーの谷ツアーに参加しました。
ガイドツアーですが、ガイドさんの案内も良く神秘的な場所を散策できました。

I think the best course for beginners in Okinawa is to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. It was my first time at the Okashi Goten.

美ら海水族館に行きたい沖縄初心者向けとしては、ベストなコースではないかと思います。
お菓子御殿は初めてでした。

I thought the guide on the bus was wonderful.
I was able to learn about Okinawan dances while traveling on the bus, and I enjoyed the events at Ryukyu Village.

I also received great recommendations for awamori, which I was able to bring back as souvenirs.

It was a lovely guide who made me want to meet again.

バスの中ガイドさんがとても素晴らしいと思いました
移動中のバスの中で沖縄の踊りを教えてもらえて
琉球村のイベントも楽しめました

おすすめの泡盛もしっかり教えてもらって
お土産にすることができました

またお会いしたいなぁと思わせてくれたステキなガイドさんでした

We had an amazing experience at the aquarium it is a long bus ride but there is a lot to see on the way there including the beautiful ocean once at the aquarium seeing the whale sharks was magnificent watching them feed the whale sharks was absolutely amazing and to think that they actually release them back into the ocean after they’re done studying them is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

I have read good reviews for this trip and just nice that we lucky to get the rebate ( 2 for 1) promo.. So we book the trip!!!

Meeting point : The pick up point is not clearly indicate .. We just know that is at the hotel.. We reached early and scare that we might miss the bus .. Lucky we ask the hotel lobby, yes is the correct place... I suggest that can take picture where is the pick up point and shown at booking page is the best.. Attendance was smooth and easy.. Puncture and fast.. The tour leader couldn't speak english .. But anyway we still OK ..

Lunch at the restaurant opp the sweet potato shop is great.. The udon is nice !

Everyplace given time is just nice except that I prefer the churaumi aquarium to have longer time..
The tour leader bring us to the entry , give us the tickets and also give clear instructions where is the meet up point .. I thk 150min is not enough because what if is elderly ? They have no enough time to look around .. And walk back the carpark is a super long distance for them ..

Pineapple park: it a just mini park wit shopping area .. Time spent here is just nice .. Those do not want shopping can go take pictures outside the shop ..

Overall : it is a good experience .. Those who do not drive can join this tour!!!
We will recommend this to my friends and families ...

This tour lasts half a day and provides transportation to Naha Airport around 1 PM, making it an excellent option for sightseeing during the time before your flight.

The tour uses a shared bus, and everyone first goes to the Sefa Utaki. After that, participants split at the Okinawa World parking lot, with some heading to Okinawa World and others to the Valley of Gangala. The meeting point is back at the Okinawa World parking lot, where you will be transported to the airport and other locations.

However, the bus tour does not include entrance fees for the attractions, so you will need to purchase tickets separately, which can be a bit of a hassle.

I went to the Valley of Gangala, and it was great to participate in this tour because you can only enter the Valley of Gangala with a guided tour, and they coordinate the departure times. Okinawa World was also fun, but the Valley of Gangala tour was incredibly enjoyable, and I’m very glad I participated.

　このツアーは、半日で終わり、およそ13時に那覇空港へと送迎してくれるものなので、空港から帰る時間を利用して観光するには、非常にもってこいのツアーだと思います。
　また、ツアーは混載バスで、最初は全員で斎場御嶽に行き、その後、おきなわワールドの駐車場で、おきなわワールドへ行く人と、ガンガラーの谷へ行く人に分かれます。そして、集合場所は、先ほど分かれた、おきなわワールドの駐車場に集合し、空港等へと送迎してもらうというスタイルです。
　ただ、バスツアーに観光地の入場料は入っていないために、別途入場料が必要で、個別にチケットを購入する手間があるのは少し面倒な所でした。
　今回私は、ガンガラーの谷へと行きましたが、ガンガラーの谷はガイドツアーではないと入場することができないことや、ツアーの出発時間も合わせてくれるために、このツアーに参加して非常に良かったです。おきなわワールドも楽しかったのですが、こちらのガンガラーの谷ツアーも非常に楽しく、参加して大正解でした。

I am satisfied both in terms of time and content.
I think the price is reasonable as well.
However, I wished the stay time at each destination could be a bit longer.
In that case, it would be better if the meeting time for the tour started a little earlier.

時間的にも内容的にも満足です。
価格的にも適正だと思います。
ただ訪問先の滞在時間が　それぞれもう少し長くあればいいなと思いました。
その分　ツアーの始まりの集合時間がもう少し早くもいいと思います。

The aquarium was a wonderful experience it’s just amazing to see whale sharks in captivity I hope they do catch and release like what I was told The aquarium by far was the best aquarium I have been to little bit of a long bus ride but the scenery along way spray nice all in all it was worth the adventure.

I was very pleased that I could efficiently see the southern part of Okinawa in half a day. The bus guide explained everything clearly, which made it enjoyable and easy to understand. By the way, the limestone cave, which I didn't have high expectations for, was impressive. It's definitely worth seeing.

沖縄の南部を効率よく半日で見る事ができたのでとても良かったです。バスのガイドさんもきちんと説明してくれたのでよくわかり楽しかったです。そうそうあまり期待していなかった鍾乳洞が感動的でした。これは必見の価値ありです。

We were able to efficiently visit various places, mainly the Churaumi Aquarium. I feel like we could make better use of our time compared to using a rental car. With the steak dinner plan, we got off the bus and enjoyed steak at Sam's Steakhouse. It was fun to watch the cooking performance right in front of us.

美ら海水族館メインに、効率よくいろいろ行けました。
レンタカーを使うより時間が有効に使える気がします。ステーキディナープランで、バスを降りてからステーキハウスサムズでステーキをいただきました。目の前で調理してくれパフォーマンスもあって楽しかったです。

You can visit the attractions you want just by paying for the bus charter fee. Additionally, a guide accompanies you and provides thorough sightseeing information. It's basically a free activity, but it was a fulfilling tour. By the way, my recommendation this time is the limestone cave. I was completely unprepared for it, so the experience was even more moving.

バスのチャ−タ−代金だけで行きたかった観光ができます。また、ガイドさんが付ききちんと観光案内までしてくれます。基本自由行動ですが充実感たっぷりのツアーでした。そうそう私の今回のおすすめは鍾乳洞です。全く期待していなかっただけに感動もひとしおでした。

I wasn't confident in driving... but I wanted to go to the northern part! So I signed up for this tour. As a result, I truly feel that choosing this tour was a great decision, and I made wonderful memories.

I participated alone, but while listening to Okinawan music and the guide's announcements on the bus, we headed to our destination. Once there, I was able to explore freely within the designated time and interact with other participants at a comfortable distance.

The time allocation at each sightseeing spot and the travel time felt just right. I am grateful to the driver who safely took us around and to the guide who entertained us with a lovely smile and thoughtful attention.

I would like to use this service again when I come back to Okinawa. Thank you very much.

運転に自信がない…でも北部に行きたい！と思い こちらを申し込みました。
結果、このツアーを選んで良かったと心から思える素敵な思い出が出来ました。
ひとり参加でしたが、車内では沖縄の音楽やガイドアナウンスを聴きながら目的地まで向かい、現地では決められた時間内で自由に散策をし、程よい距離感で他の参加者の方達とも関わりが持てました。
各観光地の時間配分、乗車時間等のプランもちょうど良く感じました。
安全運転で各地を巡ってくれた運転手さん、素敵な笑顔と丁寧な気配りで楽しませてくださったガイドさんに感謝しています。
また沖縄に来る際には利用させて頂きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The time allocation for the course and the options were great. I would like to use it again when I come back. Thank you very much.

コースの時間配分、選択といいよかったです。また来たときは利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I’m from Thailand and took this tour with my friend on February 3rd, my chose this tour because we didn’t have a car and saw this tour online with good reviews. On the day we took the tour it started right on time with friendly staff and comfortable ride on the bus. Everything on the schedule was accurate, only negative part was guide not able to speak English but was very helpful to make us comfortable. We love the experience will definitely come back again with friends and family to take this tour again.

We participated as a family of three (including a one-year-old child). I think it's easy to join since they pick you up from various hotels. The beach at Kouri Island was incredibly beautiful and left me in awe. However, there is limited free time, so we only had enough time to take some photos at the beach and look at a few souvenirs. Next time, I would like to visit Heart Rock and the tower as well.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time to explore at a leisurely pace, even with a child, and we were able to see the dolphin show. We also enjoyed visiting various major spots. Thank you!

家族3人（1歳の子供含む）で参加しました。いろんなホテルにお迎えに来てくれるので、参加しやすいと思います。古宇利島のビーチがとにかくキレイで感動しました。ただ自由時間が少ないのでビーチで写真を撮って、お土産を少し見るくらいしか時間がありません。次回はハートロックやタワーの方も行ってみたいです。
美ら海水族館は時間がたっぷりあるので、子連れでもゆっくり回れましたし、イルカのショーも見る事が出来ました。その他も主要スポットを色々回れて満喫出来ました。ありがとうございました！

I arrived at Seifa Utaki early in the morning before the entrance time, so it was great to be able to see it slowly without other tour guests around.

The guide's explanations were clear and kind. I bought the recommended Tannafakuru in Naha City! It was simple and delicious.

せーふぁーうたきには朝一番で入場時間前には到着していたので、
他のツアー客がいなくゆっくり見ることができて良かったです。

ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく親切でした。
ガイドさんのおすすめのタンナファクルーを那覇市内で購入しました！
素朴で美味しかったです。

I wasn't confident in driving, so I signed up for the tour. It was great to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots. I wished for a bit more time at each location, but I understand that with so many places to visit, it's unavoidable. I had a lot of fun.

車の運転に自信がなかったのでツアーを申し込みました。
効率よく観光地を回れたのが良かったです。
それぞれの場所で滞在時間がもう少し欲しいと思いましたが、
これだけの場所を回るのだから仕方がないと納得です。
とっても楽しかったです。

Although I was a bit anxious about the bus meeting point, it was easy to find. However, since many tour buses were arriving, I felt nervous until my bus showed up.

During the journey to our destination, the guide provided information about Okinawa and the destination, which enhanced my enjoyment.

We had to choose between the Valley of Gangala and Okinawa World, but since they are located in the same area, it would have been even better if we could visit both.

The Valley of Gangala has quite a high entrance fee, so compared to the cost and time of going individually, I think the tour bus is a great deal.

バス待ち合わせ場所に不安があったもののすぐわかる場所でした。
ただ、何台もツアーバスがやってくるので、自分のバスが到着するまでドキドキしました。

目的地に向かうまでの間、ガイドさんが沖縄について、目的地について、ガイドをしてくれたので、楽しみがより深められました。

ガンガラーの谷か、おきなわワールドか、どちらか選ぶのですが、場所が同じところにあるので両方行ければ、なおよかったです。

ガンガラーの谷は入場するのに結構費用もかかるので、個人で行く費用と時間に比べるとツアーバスはかなりお得だと思います。

The sightseeing tour in a clean, large bus was comfortable despite the low price, and the weather was clear. There were only a few participants, and both the driver and the guide were friendly, making the experience truly enjoyable. I am very satisfied. Thank you!

快晴の中、低料金にもかかわらずきれいな大型バスでの観光は、快適でした。参加人数も少なく、ドライバーさんもガイドさんもフレンドリーで、本当に気持ちよく観光できました。大満足です。ありがとうございました。

It might be the season, but there were only half the number of people on the bus, so one person could use two seats, and the free time was set just right, which made me very satisfied.

時期が時期かもしれないけど、バスの半分しか人数いなくて、1人ふたつ席使えたり、自由時間の設定時間がちょうどよくて、大満足でした。

I decided to take a trip to Okinawa as a birthday present for my mother and signed up for a tour.

I thought the bus guide would talk to us along the way, but instead, we were given an audio guide to listen to together before reaching the tour locations, which felt very impersonal and not very interesting.

Also, why was the guide so condescending? From the moment we arrived at the meeting point, the attitude was really unpleasant. When picking up various people from different locations, there was no explanation, and we were just left waiting, circling around the city. Before I knew it, we hadn’t left Naha City for an hour after getting on the bus. Other tours had bathroom breaks along the way, but this one didn’t have any. I understand time constraints, but when we arrived at Pineapple Park, I wanted to use the restroom, but I was rushed onto the cart and ultimately couldn’t go until we reached the exit.

At other locations, we were told to keep to the schedule in a very strict manner, like a military drill. I had no intention of being late, but I believe there’s a way to communicate that.

I wanted to film while crossing the Kouri Bridge, but the guide’s poor performance on the sanshin and singing ruined it. Additionally, when I met the guide at the smoking area and was told “Thank you for your hard work,” it left a bad taste in my mouth.

The guide may do this every day, but we are participating in the tour to create memories. Especially since I planned this to make my mother happy, I couldn’t enjoy it at all. I truly regret spending money on this tour after having such an unpleasant experience.

The aquarium is also quite a distance from the bus parking lot, so even though they say we have three hours, considering the round trip, it’s more like two and a half hours.

At the very end, the guide mistakenly called out loudly for the drop-off location, which was very frustrating. I will try to avoid participating in tours with this company in the future.

母親の誕生日プレゼントで沖縄旅行へ行く事になり、ツアーに申し込みました。　

バスガイドの方が道中お話をしてくれると思っていたのですが、音声ガイドを渡されてツアーの場所に行く前にみんなで聞く為業務的であまり面白くはなかった。

そしてガイドの方はなぜあんなに高圧的なんでしょうか？
集合場所に行った時から本当に気分が悪い対応でした。
いろんな場所へいろんな方を迎えに行く際もなんの説明もなく、ただ待たされグルグル市内を回り気がついたら乗車してから1時間那覇市内から出ていなかったです。
他のツアーでは途中トイレ休憩があったりしましたが、こちらのツアーでは途中トイレ休憩もなかったです。
時間の関係もあると思いますが、パイナップルパークに着いた時トイレに行きたいと思ったのに急かされカートに乗せられ結局出口までトイレに行けなかったです。

その他の場所でも時間を守るよう軍隊のようにキツく言われ、遅れるつもりもないですが言い方はあると思いました。

古宇利橋を通る際に動画を撮りたいと思っていましたが、ガイドさんの下手くそな三線と歌で台無しです。
そして喫煙所でガイドの方と会った際に[お疲れ様です]と言われた事も気分が悪かったです。

ガイドさんは毎日のお仕事かもしれませんが、私達は思い出を作りにツアーに参加しています。
特に今回は母に喜んでもらおうと企画したのに心から楽しむことができませんでした。
こんなに不快な思いをしてこのツアーにお金を払ってしまった事に本当に後悔しました。


水族館もバスの駐車場から距離がありますので3時間と言いつつ往復の時間を考えると2時間30分くらいです。

最後の最後で降車場所をガイドさんに間違えられ大きな声で呼ばれましたが、本当にいい加減にして欲しかったです。
今後はなるべくこちらの会社のツアーには参加しないようにします。

I saw Oishi Forest Mountain on TV, so it was a great help for me since I don't have a driver's license! If I had to say anything, I wish I could have stayed at Oishi Forest Mountain a little longer! I rushed to see the yellow course and the banyan tree, but it was just in time.

I was also satisfied with the Churaumi Aquarium, as I felt like I didn't have enough time! Since it's this time of year, I was a bit intimidated by the presence of Chinese tourists... but everyone is looking forward to it, right?

When I talked to my local friends, they said that this price for the content is incredibly cheap! I think so too. Thank you to the driver and the guide for the long time spent together! 😊

テレビで大石林山をしていたので免許がない私はとても助かりました！
しいて言うなら大石林山にもう少し長く居たいくらいです！私は黄色コース＋ガジュマルだけ見たくてダッシュしましたが、ギリギリでした。
ちゅら海水族館も私は時間が足りないくらいだったので満足です！
あとはこの時期なので中国人の方が居て怯んでしまいましたが。。みなさん楽しみにされていますもんね。
現地のお友達に話すとこの価格はこの内容ですごい安い！とのことでした。私もそう思います。
運転手さん、ガイドさん、長い時間ありがとうございました(^^)

I applied to visit Okinawa for the first time, wanting to go to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. At the aquarium, I was healed by the size of the whale sharks and the fish living in the coral reefs. I'm glad I visited. The only disappointing thing was that the weather was cloudy and the wind was strong, so I couldn't see Okinawa's blue sea. If I have the opportunity to visit again, I hope to see the wonderful scenery of Okinawa. I was anxious about participating alone, but I felt the care and kindness of the tour guide and the driver, and I was able to enjoy the day. Thank you very much.

初めての沖縄、美ら海水族館に行きたくて申込ました。美ら海水族館では、ジンベイザメの大きさやサンゴ礁に住む魚たちに癒されました。訪れて良かったと思います。ただ１つ残念な事は、天気が曇で風が強く沖縄の青い海が見れなかった事です。再度訪れる機会があれば、素晴らしい沖縄の景色を見れたらと思います。1人参加で不安でしたが、ツアーガイドの方と運転手の気遣いと優しさを感じ、1日楽しく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

When I come to Okinawa, I always participate in this Churaumi Aquarium bus tour. The price is reasonable, and I was able to enjoy the stunning views of Kouri Island and Manzamo. This time, the course also included a stroll through American Village for the first time, making for a fulfilling Okinawa sightseeing experience. This bus tour is undoubtedly the best tour.

沖縄に来た時は、必ずこの美ら海水族館バスツアーに参加します。料金もリーズナブルですし、古宇利島、万座毛の絶景も堪能出来、また今回初めてアメリカンビレッジの散策がコースに追加され、充実した沖縄観光が出来ました。このバスツアーは文句なしでベストツアーです。

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!
