All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I challenged myself to go diving for the first time with my son, who is in the second year of junior high school. From the pick-up to the shop, we talked a lot about Okinawa, which helped us relax and participate comfortably. During the diving explanation, the instructor spoke to my son in a gentle manner, and my son gradually eased his tension. Unfortunately, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave by boat, so we went to another spot instead.

Now, for the diving, my son went into the sea first to practice breathing. He got the hang of it right away. Next was my turn. I struggled to get used to the idea of holding my breath underwater and exhaling. Eventually, I managed to breathe and started diving, but my ears felt pressure. Just then, the instructor signaled for ear equalization, which was great. The sea was so beautiful and clear that I almost forgot to do the ear equalization! There were so many fish. As I dove deeper and reached a rocky area, I saw a live octopus spreading its arms and chasing away tropical fish. I was thrilled to see an octopus, which is hard to spot during the day, and when I fed the fish, they swarmed right in front of me. It was an amazing time.

When we got back on the boat, I was surprisingly cold, but they poured warm water over me, which was comforting. On the way back in the car, my son was sound asleep. I had ear pain until that night. I shared the beauty of the sea, which made me forget about ear equalization, with my wife and daughter, and we decided that next time, we want to go to the Blue Cave as a family. Thank you very much.

中2の息子と初めてのダイビングにチャレンジしました。お迎えからお店まで、いろいろと沖縄の話をしていただき、リラックスして参加できました。ダイビングの説明では、息子に語りかけるように、丁寧に説明していただき、緊張気味の息子もすこしずつ緊張が解けてきました。今回は、あいにく風がつよく船では青の洞窟に行けないとのこと。別のスポットに行っていただきました。さあ、ダイビングで、まずは息子から海へ入り、息をする練習。すぐにできました。次に私の番。水中では息を止めるのが常識で息を吐くということになれず、てこずりました。なんとか息ができるようになり、潜り始めたら耳がキーん。ちょうどそのときに耳抜きの合図をして頂きよかったのです。必ずするように！と言われていた耳抜きを忘れてしまうくらい、海がきれいで透明。魚がいっぱい。どんどん潜り、岩場に来たとき、目の前には生きているタコが足を広げて熱帯魚を追い払っていました。なかなか昼間は見れないタコまで見れて、えさをあげたら魚が目の前で入れ食い。サイコーの時間をすごせました。船にあがると案外体が冷えていましたが、お湯をかけていただきホッコリ。帰りの車では息子はぐっすりでした。わたしは当日夜までは耳が痛かった。耳抜きを忘れるくらいに綺麗な海を、妻と娘に話し、次は、家族全員で青の洞窟に行ってみたい、となりました。ありがとうございました。

I had an experience diving in the Blue Cave with Adventure Island. The weather forecast predicted rain, but somehow it cleared up, and with no wind, it turned out to be a decent day for diving. At first, I thought I would have trouble finding the location, but the store was right along the road, making it easy to spot. After entering the shop, filling out the waiver, and being introduced to the instructor, I greeted a few others who would be on the same boat, and then it was off to the sea! The ocean in Okinawa is truly emerald green! The visibility was outstanding, and I felt grateful I came right from the start.

Before boarding the boat, we received a brief lesson on how to wear the goggles, how to clear water from them and our mouths, and how to equalize our ears. Then we boarded the boat and headed to the Blue Cave. After getting off the boat, we practiced a bit in shallow water to get accustomed before diving. The instructor pushed me from behind, so I didn't have to swim much at all while equalizing my ears and going deeper into the water. Underwater, I was welcomed by many yellow, red, and blue fish, and looking up at the surface, it felt like a curtain of light was pouring down, creating a beautiful scene.

The instructor took us to spots with lots of fish and beautiful coral, snapping photos along the way. During the fish feeding experience, many fish gathered around, and I took more pictures! We explored various beautiful underwater areas and made sure to capture photos of the clownfish and coral before finishing the experience dive. The most moving part was simply how beautiful the ocean was, and the feeling of looking up at it from underwater is something I will never forget. I truly felt grateful to have had this experience.

冒険島さんの青の洞窟体験ダイビングしてきました。天気予報では雨マークでしたが、なんとか晴れて風も無くまずまずのダイビング日和となりました。まず、最初に場所をさがすのに苦労するかとおもいましたが道路沿いに店舗があり、簡単に見つける事が出来ました。お店の中に入り、誓約書等を書き、インストラクターの方のご紹介がありご挨拶をしたあと、数人の同じボートに乗る方々と一緒に海へGOー！！やっぱり沖縄の海はエメラルドグリーン！透明度バツグンで最初から来てよかったなー^ ^って感じです。ボートに乗る前に簡単にゴーグルの付け方、ゴーグルや口の中に水が入った時の水の抜き方、耳抜きの方法を教えてもらいボートに乗り込み青の洞窟へ。
それからボートから降りて浅いところで少し練習して慣れてきたところでいざ潜水。後ろからインストラクターの方が押してくれてぜんぜん自分で泳がなくてもいい状態で耳抜きをしながら水中奥深くへ。水中は黄色、赤、青の魚がたくさんお出迎えしてくれて水上を見上げると水の中にたくさんの光が降り注ぎ、光のカーテンを演出してくれてるみたいでとっても綺麗でした。また、魚がたくさんいる所やサンゴが綺麗なスポットにインストラクターさんが連れて行ってくれて写真をパシャパシャ撮ってくれました。また、魚のエサやり体験では魚がたくさん集まってきてくれてそこでもパシャリ！水中の綺麗な所を色々見て回ってきちんとクマノミとサンゴの写真も撮って体験ダイビング終了〜。やっぱり一番の感動は海がただただ綺麗で、その海を水中から見上げた感動は忘れられません。一度体験できてよかったなぁーとしみじみ思いました。

There are various tour companies, and after some deliberation, I decided on "Adventure Island" because of the boat ride, the private group option, and the fact that the staff would take photos and provide them on a CD-R.

The forecast predicted rain for the day, but it ended up being completely clear, with beautiful blue seas. The boat rocked a bit, but we arrived at the Blue Cave in about five minutes. I put on my mask and fins and jumped into the water, which was colder than I expected. The staff guided us to the Blue Cave using a float, and before I knew it, we had arrived.

Inside, it was dim, and at first, it wasn't as blue as I had seen in photos, which made me wonder if that was all there was to it. However, according to the staff, it appears blue when you look out from inside the cave. Following their instructions, I was guided to a point where I could see the blue while keeping my eyes closed. When they told me to open my eyes, it was stunning! It was just as beautiful as the photos of the Blue Cave.

Next, they took us to the spot that is said to be the bluest for photos. I was prepared for it to be crowded inside the cave, but there were actually fewer people than I expected. After exiting the cave, they pulled us to a spot where we could feed the fish. When I threw the fish food into the water, a huge number of fish came rushing in.

Finally, I received the CD-R with the photos they took. They captured so many beautiful shots, and the underwater photos were stunning. I don't think I could have taken such beautiful pictures myself, so I’m really glad I chose this tour. The staff were incredibly kind, and it turned into a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

色々なツアー会社があり迷ったものの、ボートで行くこと、1グループ貸切なこと、写真をスタッフが撮ってくれてCD-Rでもらえるなどでこの『冒険島』に決定!!
この日は雨予想でしたが、全く雨は降らずいい天気になって海もすごく青くて綺麗でした。
船は少し揺れましたが、5分ほどで青の洞窟前に到着。
マスクと足ひれを付けて海に飛び込みましたが、予想以上に水は冷たかったです^^;
顔を付けて海の中を見ながらスタッフの人が浮き輪のようなもので青の洞窟まで誘導してくれて、気がついたらもう青の洞窟まで来ていました。
中は薄暗くて、最初入った時は写真で見るほど青くなくて、こんなものなのかなぁ…って思いましたが、スタッフの説明によると、洞窟の中から外を見ると青いとのこと。言われるままに目を閉じたまま青く見えるポイントに誘導されます。
「目を開けて下さい」と言われて開けると、すごく綺麗!!写真で見た通りの青の洞窟です*^^*
次に一番青く見えるというポイントに連れて行ってもらって写真撮影。
洞窟内は混んでることもあるということで覚悟してましたが、思ったよりずっと人は少なかったです。
洞窟を出たら魚がいるポイントまで引っ張っていってもらって、魚の餌をもらって水の中であげるとものすごい数の魚がきました。
最後に撮ってもらった写真のCD-Rを貰えて、いっぱい撮ってくれてたし海の中もすごく綺麗に撮れてました。
自分で撮ってたらこんなに綺麗には撮れなかったと思うし、ここにお願いして良かったです。
スタッフの方もすごく親切だったし、いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated recently and was looking forward to the ocean in Okinawa for the first time. When I first jumped into the water, I was surprised by how cold it was, but I gradually got used to it.

When I finally looked into the sea, I was amazed to see a wide variety of fish, much more than I had expected. Before joining the tour, I thought that the "Blue Cave" looked blue because the light reflects from outside when the weather is nice, but after actually going there and listening to the guide, I learned that it appears blue when looking out from inside the cave because only the blue light remains. Seeing it in person was truly just as described, and I was really moved by how blue it was.

Next time, I want to visit the Blue Cave for diving instead of snorkeling. The staff worked hard to take a lot of photos, which made for great memories. Since the weather was bad this time, I hope to visit the Blue Cave on a sunny day next time.

What I thought after participating in this tour was that the staff went above and beyond for the participants, which made for an enjoyable experience. Thank you very much.

先日参加しましたが、初めての沖縄の海ということで楽しみにしていました。
最初にまず海に飛び込んだ時はあまりの冷たさにビックリしましたが、次第に慣れていき
ました。
いよいよ海の中を覗いた時には思っていたよりも、多種多様な魚がいっぱいいて、そんなに多くいると思っていなかったのでそこでもビックリしました。
ツアーに参加する前は「青の洞窟」といえば、洞窟の中が青いのは天気が良い時に洞窟の外から中を見た時に光が反射して青く見えると思っていたけど、実際に行ってガイドさんの話を聞くと、青く見えるのは洞窟の中から外を見た時に、光の中で青色だけが残るので青く見えるという
ことでした。実際に見たら本当にその通りですごく青くて感動しました。
次に行ったときはシュノーケルじゃなくてダイビングで青の洞窟に行ってみたいです。
スタッフの人がずごくたくさんの写真を撮ってくれるためにがんばってくれたので、いい思い出になりました。
今回は天気が悪かったので次回は晴天の時に青の洞窟を訪れたいと思います。
このツアーに参加して思ったのは、スタッフの人達が参加者の為にいたれりつくせりして
くれたので、楽しく過ごせました。どうもありがとうございました。

Visit to the butterfly park was surprisingly wonderful but just about 15 minutes self tour would be really a deadly rush. Sufficient time to fool around the Churaumi Aquarium after the light lunch. Thumbs up ! Pineapple park tour was related products hard sell yet a good try. The last stop was merely a stop. After all, visit to the Churaumi Aquarium alone worth the value of the whole tour.

The weather was pleasantly warm for April, and there were a total of 17 people on the tour. Throughout the trip, I was comforted by the attentiveness of our guide, Touma. The driver, Chinen, was also very friendly, which contributed to the great atmosphere of the tour. The first stop was Kouri Island, a beach where nature still remains. Although the beach season hadn't started yet, we were able to get close to the sandy shore and feel the waters of Okinawa.

This was a return visit to the Churaumi Aquarium, but on the way, I was able to see the emerald green sea shining from the car window and take photos, which left me in awe of its beauty. The photo is of our guide in front of the entrance to the Churaumi Aquarium, and he had a very cheerful expression. Inside the vehicle, he played the sanshin and sang famous Okinawan songs (like "Asada" and "Nada Sousou"), and he shared stories about Okinawa while mimicking his grandmother's voice, providing excellent service and being a wonderful person.

I have experienced various guides and tour conductors both domestically and internationally, but those who have a genuine desire to host their guests leave a lasting impression and make the travel memories even more profound. One disappointment was that our stay at Ryukyu Village was short, and we could only see one event (a 10-minute Ryukyu dance). It would have been better if the time allocation allowed us to see at least two events. On the way back, we were able to make a stop at Makishi Park, which was not listed in the itinerary, so that was a nice bonus. I would love to participate in another tour with such wonderful staff. Thank you very much.

お天気は４月にしては暑いくらいの好天、総勢17名のツアーでした。終始ガイド・とうまさんの気配りに癒されました。ドライバーさん(知念さん)も愛想の良い方で、ツアーの雰囲気が良かったです。最初に訪れた古宇利島は未だ自然が残る海水浴場で、海開きはしていませんでしたが、砂浜まで近づいて沖縄の海を感じることができました。美ら海水族館は再訪になりますが、道中エメラルドグリーンに輝く海を車窓から見る&写真を撮ることができ、その美しさに感動しました。写真はガイドさんで美ら海水族館の入口前で記念撮影したものですが、とてもにこやかな表情で、車内では三線を引きながら沖縄の名曲(童歌・あさだ・涙そうそう等)を歌ってくれたり、出身地のおばあの声を真似して沖縄の話をしてくれたり、サービス満点で素敵な方でした。国内外でいろいろなガイドさん・添乗員さんの接客を経験していますが、やはりお客様をもてなす気持ちがある方は印象に残り、旅の思い出をより一層感慨深いものにしてくれると思います。残念だったのは、琉球村の滞在時間が短くて、イベントが一つ(琉球舞踊10分)しか見られなかったこと。せめて二つ位イベントが見られるように時間配分をしてくれるともっと良かったと思います。帰路、日程表に記載がない宿泊先近くの牧志公園でも途中下車できたので、それも助かりました。またこういう素敵な乗務員のツアーに参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The time allocation was just right, allowing us to visit various places, and I was very satisfied with the cost of the bus tour! We spent 20 minutes on Kouri Island, which was enjoyable enough to play on the beach in April. We also had plenty of time to leisurely explore the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium! For lunch, I thought we might not have much time, but I was able to enjoy delicious taco rice while watching the fish at the aquarium! The subsequent visit to the Okashi Goten was great, with lots of snacks available, and we had 30 minutes to enjoy some tastings. Personally, I found the final stop at Ryukyu Mura to be very fun! We could see various types of traditional houses, there were cows and goats, and we could take pictures with them. The area was filled with greenery, flowers, and butterflies, making it very rich in experiences. There were also activities like painting shisa, weaving, and trying out the sanshin, which were all incredibly fun and highly recommended! The guide for this bus tour, Ms. Higa, was charming and taught us folk songs and dances, as well as performed kamishibai, so we were never bored during the travel time! I would love to participate again. Thank you!

時間配分もちょうどよく、色々まわれて、金額的にも大満足なバスツアーでした！
古宇利島は20分でしたが、4月なので足を付けて浜で遊ぶ程度には楽しかったです。美ら海水族館も自由にゆっくり回れました！お昼ごはんも、あまり時間がないのかと思ってましたが、水族館で魚を見ながらおいしいタコライスを食べることができました！その後の御菓子御殿は、たくさんのお菓子があり、30分なので試食も楽しめました。個人的には最後の琉球村が、とても楽しかったです！昔の色んな種類の民家を見ることが出来たり、牛やヤギがいて、一緒に写真を撮れたり、緑や花や蝶もたくさんでとにかく盛りだくさんでした。シーサーに色を塗ったり、機織りものをしたり、三線を体験できるコーナーなどもあり、すごく楽しかったしおすすめです！
今回のバスツアーのガイドの比嘉さんも可愛らしく、民謡や、踊りを教えてくれたり、紙芝居をしてくださったり、盛りだくさんなので、移動時間もまったく飽きることがなかったです！
また参加したいです。ありがとうございました！

The tour was a bit of a rush.

For the butterflies, we had to eat our Okinawa Soba very fast to get some time to enjoy them. No guide or signs to guide you, it was hard to know where to go.
The Aquarium was really nice, there was enough time to enjoy it.

The Pineapple Park visit was really disappointing : we had a 5 minutes tour in Japanese to end up in the park's shop. We saw basically nothing of the park, the point here was to buy stuff.

The Ryukyu Mura was a bit more interesting, but the point here was also to buy things (Okinawa Glass).

The tour is really made and thought for Japanese tourists, a pamphlet in English explaining in detail the program would have been nice and helpful, as well as a guide who could speak a bit of English.

This tour is useful to go to the Aquarium, but aside from that, not interesting at all for non-Japanese speaking tourists.

Recently, I participated with my wife. Although it was a bit cloudy that day, once we dove into the sea, a blue world unfolded before us, and it didn't matter at all. It was my first time snorkeling, so I had some anxiety, but thanks to the kind support of the instructor, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Maybe next time I'll try diving!

先日、妻と参加させていただきました。
当日曇り気味ではありましたが、海に潜るとそんなん関係なく青の世界が広がってました。
初のシュノーケルだったので不安もありましたが
インストラクターの方の親切な対応もあり
安心して楽しめました。
今度はダイビングかなぁ〜

The bus was on schedule. The tour price was reasonable. The tour guide and driver were courteous. My family spent a whole day enjoying the world’s best - Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Thank you.

On February 26, I experienced "Night Snorkeling with Bioluminescent Plankton & Starry Sky," and on February 27, I did "Blue Cave Snorkeling."
When I arrived in Okinawa, it was much colder than I expected, and I was worried that I would be shivering the whole time in the water. I had a very cold experience before at another shop where they only provided larger wetsuits, so I was anxious. However, they lent me a hooded vest and helped me find a wetsuit that fit just right.
Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy snorkeling in the winter night sea.
The Blue Cave the next day was also incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved!!! I was really glad to finally visit the Blue Cave on this tour!!!
The person in charge was very kind and entertaining, and I was able to spend time without any worries and have fun.
The photos I received were also wonderful and became great memories.
Thank you very much!

2月26日に「夜光虫＆星空ナイトシュノーケリング」を、2月27日に「青の洞窟シュノーケリング」を体験しました。
沖縄へ着くと、思っていたよりとても寒く、海に入ってもずっと震えているのではないかと心配していました。以前、他のショップさんで大きめのウエットスーツしか用意してもらえず、とても寒い経験もあり、不安でした。しかし、フードベストを貸してくださったり、ウエットスーツもちょうど良いサイズのものになるように相談にのってくださいました。
おかげで、冬の夜の海でも楽しんでシュノーケルできました。
また、翌日の青の洞窟もとても綺麗で本当に感動でした！！！このツアーで念願の青の洞窟に行けて、本当に良かったです！！！
担当してくださった方も、大変親切で面白く、不安もなく楽しく過ごすことができました。
頂いた写真も素晴らしくて、とても良い思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました。

We had a great time although the guide spoke only japanese (and the Bus video was in chinese).
The aquarium is just great, the other stops were nice but not too important ;)
If you are hungry westeners like us, bring something to eat (or buy at the aquarium cafe) because lunch will not fill your stomach.

For this price I can highly recommend the tour :)

My mother participated in a tour that included the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium for her first trip to Okinawa. She was of course moved by the aquarium, but she was also very happy with the butterflies at the Ryukyu Castle Butterfly Garden. The price was reasonable, and I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to the elderly.

母が初めての沖縄旅行のため、美ら海水族館があるツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館はもちろん感動してましたが、それ以外に琉球城蝶々園の蝶にとても喜んでました。
金額的にもお手頃で、子供からお年寄りまで楽しめるツアーと思います。

This is a standard optional tour in Okinawa. I recommend it if you're visiting Okinawa for the first time. The aquarium is impressive and very enjoyable.

こちらは普通に沖縄の定番オプショナルツアーですね。初めて沖縄を訪問で有ればオススメです。水族館は見応え有りとても楽しいです

I was picked up right from my hotel and dropped there back on time. It was a hassle free experience where we did not need to worry about ticket purchase and transportation. It covers a about 4-5 different places but the highlight for us was the dolphin show near Churaumi aquarium. Do not miss it!

The only downside was that though there was a tour guide in the bus, she barely spoke any english. But she gave us an audio guide with commentary in english.

Overall, I did not feel rushed at any of the tourist spots and felt that we made good use of our time. I highly recommend this tour.

For a first-time visitor to Okinawa like myself, this was a fun choice. At the aquarium I saw the dolphin show and took part in the deep sea experience, so was running around a bit but was pleased. I wasn't expecting much from the soba lunch, but it was tasty.

<Translated by Veltra.com>

Great price for tour with four stops. Realize pressed for time so stop at glass factory really short. Free soba lunch was a nice bonus. Only major complaint was couldn't get recorded tour to work and couldn't hear commentary over PA system.

I participated with my 6-year-old child. I wanted to visit Kouri Island and Churaumi Aquarium even though I don't have a driver's license, and I found this tour while searching. On the day of the tour, we encountered beautiful seas and scenery with some sunny moments. On the bus, we were entertained by the guide's charming performances and wonderful songs, which kept us engaged. Lastly, we stopped at Ryukyu Village, which was close to our accommodation. Although we parted ways partway through, thank you for seeing us off so kindly until the end.

6歳の子供と2人で参加しました
免許がないけど古宇利島も美ら海もいきたいと探した所このツアーを見つけました
当日は晴れ間もあり綺麗な海と景色に出会えました
バスの中ではガイドさんの可愛らしいパフォーマンスや素敵な歌で飽きませんでした
最後に寄った琉球村が宿泊先から近く途中で離団しましたが最後まで快く見送ってくださりありがとうございました

It was a very fulfilling and amazing trip! My main destination was the Churaumi Aquarium, but the other stops were also interesting. The itinerary was packed, and I enjoyed the tour guide's stories during the bus rides!

とても充実していて、最高の旅になりました！
お目当ては美ら海水族館だったのですが、他の立寄りスポットも面白かったです。
盛りだくさんな内容で、バス移動中の添乗員さんのお話も楽しめました！

We wanted a nice day out with our (now) 4 year old to celebrate her birthday. Since it was our first trip to Okinawa we decided to hire a car rather than rent a car to ensure the day out went as smoothly as possible. Our driver arrived a few minutes before hand and helped us load all of our gear and get our daughter's car seat installed properly. She spoken English well and knew the areas where we had decided to visit for the day (Butterfly Garden & Churaumi Aquarium). Everything went great and everyone well enjoyed the trip.

Since I can't drive, I used this tour that picks you up from the hotel. The time spent at the aquarium was long enough that I could see the dolphin show, and I was able to take my time exploring the exhibits, which was great. To be honest, I didn't think the pineapple park was necessary.

車の運転ができないため、ホテルでピックアップしてくれるこちらのツアーを利用しました。水族館の滞在時間が長いので、イルカのショーも見られたし、館内もわりとゆっくり見て回れたので良かったです。正直なところ、パイナップルパークはなくてもよかったです。

I tried this on January 3rd. I was nervous it would be cold, but with the wetsuits I wasn't cold at all. I've been snorkeling in Hawaii before, but I felt the water was clearer and there were more fish in Okinawa. The staff were really kind, so even if you can't swim, it will be fine.

I experienced it on January 3rd. I was worried it would be cold, but I wasn't cold because I wore a wetsuit. I have tried snorkeling in Hawaii, but I was impressed that there were more beautiful fish in Okinawa. The staff were kind, and it's okay even if you can't swim.

１／３に体験しました。寒いかと不安でしたがウエットスーツを着用しているので寒くなかったです。ハワイでシューノーケルは体験しましたが沖縄の方がきれいな魚が多くて感動しました。スタッフのかたも親切で泳げなくても大丈夫です。

The guide's singing voice was beautiful. I think if we could extend our stay at the main event, the aquarium, by about 30 more minutes, we would be able to enjoy the sightseeing more comfortably.

ガイドさんの歌声は綺麗でした。メインイベントの水族館での滞在時間を もう30分程度でも伸ばしてもらえると落ち着いて観光できると思います。

It was great to efficiently visit places that are hard to reach individually, all at a reasonable price, and to have a fulfilling day. If you take a lunch break, the time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium can feel a bit tight, but if you adjust your lunch time, you can see everything comfortably. The experience at Ryukyu Village was also nice. There was a service for brown sugar, making it a pleasant bus tour.

個人ではなかなか周れない場所を効率よく周れて、お得な値段で、充実した一日を過ごせてとても良かったです。昼食時間をとると、美ら海水族館での滞在時間が少しきつくなりますが、自分で昼食時間を調整すれば、充分見て周れます。琉球村の体験も良かったです。黒糖のサービスもあって、快適なバスツアーでした。

Very helpful tour guide. We were able to enjoy the whole trip from beginning to end although we did not speak Japanese.

I wanted to participate in the bus tour that allows the longest stay at the Churaumi Aquarium, so I signed up for this tour. The timing was perfect! I had a fantastic time at the aquarium! I received souvenirs at both Pineapple Park and the Glass Museum, which made me feel like I really got my money's worth.

The tour itself was definitely five stars in satisfaction, but I was particularly moved by the tour guide's thoughtfulness on the way back!

When I made the reservation, I requested to be dropped off at a station along the Yui Rail line after the tour, as I wanted to head to the airport on my last day in Okinawa. On the bus ride back, without me even asking, the guide kindly checked in with me, saying, "What time is your flight?" and "At this pace, I think you'll arrive around that time, so you should be fine."

Additionally, as the bus was moving, the guide came to my seat to inform me where we were and how many minutes we had left, providing us with a lot of information to ease our worries since we weren't familiar with the area.

Thanks to this, I made it to my flight without any stress, and it turned out to be a really enjoyable tour.

I am truly grateful to the tour guide from that time. I highly recommend this tour!

美ら海水族館に一番長く滞在するバスツアーに参加したかったので、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
時間もバッチリ！大満喫した水族館でした！
パイナップルパーク、ガラス館でそれぞれお土産をいただき、とーっても得した気分でした。


ツアー自体、もちろん五つ星の満足度だったのですが、
最後の帰り道、添乗員さんのお気遣いに感動しました！

予約時に、沖縄最終日のためツアー終了後空港に向かいたいので、どこかゆいレール沿いの駅で降ろしていただきたいというわがままをお願いしていました。
帰路に着くのバスの中で、こちらから聞いていないのにご丁寧に「飛行機の時間は何時でしょうか？」「この調子だと、何時頃に着くはずなので大丈夫だと思いますよ」と安心させていただきました。
加えてバスが走るごとに「今どのへんなので、あと何分くらいです」とわざわざ席まで伝えに来てくださるなど、
土地勘のない私たちを安心させようと、たくさん情報をくださいました。

おかげさまで飛行機にはもちろん間に合い、
帰り道ハラハラ感も全くなく、
楽しい楽しいツアーとなりました。

あの時の添乗員さんには、本当に感謝しています。
本当にオススメのツアーです！

I actually wanted to go to Okinawa in July or August during Silver Week, but due to scheduling conflicts, I went in early October instead! It seems that during the earlier times, it gets really crowded and you have to wait in line just to take photos, but during my visit, there were just the right amount of customers, so it wasn't crowded at all, and I was able to take plenty of photos without waiting! The water temperature was high, and it felt really nice! However, when I left the cave, there were some waves, and I got a bit seasick from them... But other than that, it was really fun! I want to go snorkeling in various places again!

本当は7月8月、シルバーウィークに沖縄に行きたかったのですが、休みの都合もあり、時期を外して10月上旬に行きました！
すると、上記の時期だとダダ混みで写真を撮るのも並んでるらしいのですが、この時はほどよくお客さんが居るくらいで、全然混んでなくて、並ばずにたくさん写真を撮ってもらえました！
水温も高く、本当に気持ちよかったです！
ただちょっと、洞窟を出ると波があったので、その波に酔ってしまいました・・・。
でもそれ以外は本当楽しかったです！またいろんな所でシュノーケリングしたいです！

Due to the waves, we couldn't enter the Blue Cave, but we were able to see beautiful fish in another location, and it was a lot of fun!

波の影響で青の洞窟には入れませんでしたが、別の場所で綺麗な魚たちを見ることができてとても楽しかったです！

Last year, we planned to go snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but it didn't happen due to high waves. The day before, there was a downpour, and the weather forecast predicted cloudy and rainy conditions... I thought we wouldn't be able to go again this year as we woke up the next morning.

We gathered at 8 AM, and since the sun was shining a bit, we went ahead as planned. Our departure was at 9 AM, so we had quite a wait, but it wasn't too far from the port, and once we arrived, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The water temperature didn't feel cold, and the Blue Cave was as beautifully blue as I had seen in pictures.

Since we had a little extra time, my daughter took off her jacket and, under the watchful eye of the instructor, got to experience free diving, which she enjoyed immensely.

去年も青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予定しましたが、波が高いとの事で実現しませんでした。
前日、スコールのような雨が降り、天気予報も曇り・雨・・・
今年もダメかと思いながら次の日の朝を迎えました。
8時集合、少し日がさしていたので予定通りに決行。
9時に出港だったので、かなり待たされましたが、港からはそれほど遠くなく、到着後満喫。
水温も寒くは感じずに青の洞窟も写真で見たように青く綺麗でした。
少し時間があるとの事で、最後に娘はジャケットを取り、インストラクターのお姉さんの監視の中素潜りも体験でき、大いに楽しんでました。
