All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I had a great experience on the tour organized by Rad Kanko last time, so I was looking forward to participating again with my daughter. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour itself, both my daughter and I were surprised by the poor manners of some families with children, which diminished our enjoyment. If possible, I think it would be better to separate the seating for families with children and adults without children, either in the front or back, so that everyone can enjoy the trip without any unpleasant feelings. I had such an unpleasant experience that I'm now reconsidering using tour buses in the future, so I wanted to share my experience.

ラド観光さんの前回参加のツアーが良かったので今回も娘と楽しみに参加しました。ツアー自体の内容には大満足ですが、参加されているお子様連れの方々のマナーの悪さに母娘共々ビックリしてしまい楽しさが半減してしまいました。出来たら、お子様連れの方々と、そうでない大人の方々の座席を前方、後方等に分けて頂いた方がお互いに嫌な思いをせずに旅が楽しめたのでは無いかと思いました。これから観光バスを利用するのも考えてしまうくらい嫌な思いをしましたので、体験談として投稿させて頂きました。

On my second trip to Okinawa, I finally visited the Blue Cave ( ¨̮ )/
It was more popular than I imagined, with crowds inside the cave‼︎
The moment I saw the beautiful blue was truly moving☆
And above all!!
I was very satisfied with the photos taken with the underwater camera that was lent to me for free, capturing the essence of Okinawa‼︎ (*⁰▿⁰*)

人生2度目の沖縄で念願の青の洞窟に行きました( ¨̮ )/
洞窟の中が混雑するという想像を超える人気ぶりでした‼︎
あおーーく綺麗に見えた瞬間は感動しました☆
そして何より！！
無料で貸して頂いた水中カメラでの撮影ではThe沖縄‼︎を思い出に残せて、大満足でした(*⁰▿⁰*)

I participated in snorkeling.

The Blue Cave was mystical and beautiful. The sea surrounding the cave was also clear, and there were many fish.

However, since it is a quite famous spot, there were a lot of people. The cave is not very spacious, so there was a wait, and it didn't feel like we could swim freely. There were moments when some people couldn't keep up with the instructor and were being scolded, which made me wonder about that.

I felt that it would be best to avoid the busy summer season.

シュノーケリングで参加しました。

青の洞窟は神秘的で美しかったです。
洞窟周囲の海もキレイで魚がたくさんいました。

しかし、かなり有名なスポットなので、人がとても多い。
洞窟もそれほど広くはないので、
順番待ちがあり、自由に泳ぐという感じではありません。
インストラクターさんに付いてこれない人がいて叱られている場面もあり
ちょっとどうなのかな…と思ってしまいました。

夏の混雑時期は避けるべきだと感じました。

This was my first trip to Okinawa! I considered renting a car, but since I wanted to visit not only the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but also a few other places, I signed up for a tour because it was convenient and not expensive.

We participated as a family of four (with children in 3rd and 5th grade), and everyone was thrilled with the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Ryukyu Mura and Pineapple Park.

At Ryukyu Mura, we had an early lunch, and the soba was delicious. The butterfly garden inside was also interesting. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has a relatively long visiting time, so we were satisfied not only with the aquarium but also with watching the dolphin show at the Ocean Expo Park's Okichan Theater and dipping our feet in the ocean.

Although it took time to pick up other tour participants from several hotels on the way to our destination, it wasn't too bothersome since we enjoyed the scenery outside. I think it's a day full of enjoyment.

1日堪能できると思います。

I was able to travel much cheaper than if I had paid for the rental car and facility fees myself. It's quite affordable!

自分でレンタカーや施設料を個人で支払いするより断然安く旅ができました(*^_^*)かなり格安です(*^_^*)

I was anxious about my first diving experience, but with the careful support of the instructors, I was able to enjoy diving very much. Unfortunately, due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to our intended location, but the experience was still very satisfying.

初めてのダイビングで不安でしたが、インストラクターの方々の丁寧なサポートのもと、とても楽しくダイビング出来ました。
台風の影響で残念ながら目的の場所には行けませんでしたが、充分満足できる内容でした。

It was a package with parasailing and banana boat rides, and the weather was perfect! Since parasailing involves other guests participating in the same session, we had to wait on the boat while others were parasailing. It was fun, but I suffered from seasickness, so I give it a rating of 3.

パラセーリングとバナナボートのパックでしたが、お天気にも恵まれ最高でした！
パラセーリングは他のお客さんも一緒の回に参加するため、他の方がパラセーリングされている間の待ち時間は船の上で待機…。楽しかったのですが、当方船酔いに悩まされ、評価3つです。

It was helpful to be able to go to various places by bus. I really enjoyed my first trip to Okinawa! However, the time for gathering came around quickly for each activity, which made things a bit hectic.

バスで色々行けるのは助かりました。
初沖縄を満喫できました！
ただ、やはり１つ１つあっという間に集合時時間が来てしまい、少し慌ただしいです。

The tourist guide and driver are very kind and professional. Trip planning is very suitable for foreign tourists, especially those without transportation. I am very glad to join this trip.

The tourist guide and driver are very kind and profession.Trip planning is very suitable for foreign tourists , especially without transportations.Very glad to join this trip.

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I chose this tour that includes transportation from the hotel. There was plenty of time, and with the entrance ticket included, the price was a great deal. The guide was friendly and provided thorough explanations. There were several foreign guests, but thanks to the English notices about the meeting time posted in a few places, we were always able to depart on time. Thank you very much for a wonderful trip.

美ら海水族館に行ってみたくて、ホテルから送迎があるこのツアーを選びました。
時間もたっぷりあり、入場券付きでこのお値段はお得です。ガイドさんも感じがよく、説明も丁寧でした。外国人のお客様も何組かいらっしゃいましたが集合時間の注意を何箇所かに英語で掲示していたせいか、いつも時間通りに出発できました。楽しい旅行を本当にありがとうございました。

It seems that various companies are approaching the Blue Cave. As a result, there is a huge traffic jam inside the cave. To enter the cave, you disembark about 50 meters before and everyone grabs onto a float to get to the cave... well, it's quite hectic. The sea along the way is very beautiful, but you have to hurry to get to the cave. If you fall behind, you will be scolded to hurry up without mercy.

Even upon arriving at the cave, there is a big traffic jam, resembling a crowded train. Well, that can't be helped... but you are constantly rushed.

The photo spot is only on the left side of the exit. Each tour company uses this spot in turn. After finishing, you return near the boat and play with some fish before wrapping up. But the sea is beautiful, with many small schools of fish. It's not often you get to see this scenery while snorkeling. In that sense, it's a spot you should visit at least once.

Good points:
- It was incredibly beautiful.
- There was no waste of time from check-in to disbanding.
- The point is very close.

Points to note for those going:
- The parking lot is hard to find, so please simulate it in advance.
- You should be able to swim a little... it can be quite tough otherwise.
- You can buy an SD card on-site (8GB for 1000 yen).

色んな会社から、青の洞窟にアプロローチしているようです。
よって洞窟内は大渋滞ｗ
洞窟の中に行くのには50メートルぐらい手前に下船して
皆でフロートに捕まって洞窟まで行きますが・・・
まぁ慌ただしいです・・。
途中の海の中は非常に綺麗ですが・・大急ぎで洞窟に行かなければならないのですｗ
遅れようものなら容赦なく早く来いと叱られます。

洞窟に到着しても、大渋滞
満員電車のような状態です。
まぁそれは仕方ないんですが・・
とにかく急かされます

写真のポイントは出口の左側の一択
ここを各ツアー社ごとに順番に使用します
終わったら船の近くに戻り、少し魚と戯れて終わりです
でも海はきれいです
小さな魚の大群も多くいます
なかなかシュノーケリングでこの景色を見ることは出来ません。
そういう意味では一度は行って欲しいポイントです。

良かった点
・とにかく綺麗でした
・受付から解散まで無駄はありません
・ポイントが非常に近い

これから行く人の注意点
・駐車場がわかりにくいです、事前になんとなくシュミレーションして下さい。
・少しは泳げないと・・結構きついと思います
・SDカードは現地でも買えます（８GB　1000円）

Although it wasn't my first experience with introductory diving, I found the instructor's guidance and explanations to be insufficient, and I felt a lack of kindness, which was disappointing and unpleasant.

体験ダイビングは初めてではなかったのですがインストラクターの案内説明が不十分なのと、親切さを感じられず不愉快で残念でした。

I have been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first time at the Blue Cave. I was able to see Nemo and various fish while snorkeling, which was more than I expected. It would have been even better if we had a bit more time for snorkeling. Also, from the meeting point to the boat, we had to walk a bit under the blazing sun without any gear, and I wish they had at least allowed us to bring a bath towel on the boat. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

沖縄には何度も行きましたが、青の洞窟は初めてでした。思ったより、シュノーケリングで、ニモや色んな魚をみることができました。もう少しシュノーケリングの時間があればもっとよかったです。又、集合場所から、舟まで手ぶらで、炎天下の中、少し歩く必要がありましたが、せめてバスタオル位、舟に持参させてほしかったです。全体的には、満足な内容でした。

My first time in Okinawa and my first time snorkeling! From the parking lot guidance, everyone was very helpful and attentive.

Upon arrival, they quickly guided us, and after changing into wetsuits, we boarded the boat with others who were also there for the experience. I was a bit worried about getting seasick, but it was a short ride to the Blue Cave, and the waves were gentle with a refreshing breeze!

The moment we arrived at the Blue Cave and got off the boat was the scariest part for me, haha. At first, I couldn't move forward without holding onto the instructor's float, but I gradually got used to the water and was able to swim with fins!

There were a lot of people, but together with the instructor and my group, we headed into the Blue Cave! The beautiful blue color was so moving. The sea was incredibly clear, and when I looked down, I could see all the way to the bottom! The fish were also very close.

After taking some photos, we fed the fish near the boat and took more pictures. When we fed them, they came close, and it felt like a dream.

My first snorkeling experience truly became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

初めてのオキナワ、初めてのシュノーケリングでした！駐車場の案内から、とてもわかりやすく丁寧に皆さん対応してくださりました。
到着して、テキパキとご案内していただき、ウエットスーツに着替えて、体験をする人たちと一緒に船に乗りました。
酔ってしまわないか不安でしたが、船から青の洞窟まではすぐでしたし、波もあまりなく、風が気持ちきいなーというかんそうでした！
青の洞窟に到着して、船から降りる瞬間がいちばんこわかったです笑
はじめはインストラクターさんの浮き輪に掴まりながらでないとすすめなかったのですが、だんだん水に慣れてきて、足ヒレで泳げるようになりました！
人が多かったですが、インストラクターさんと、同じグループの方々と一緒に青の洞窟へ！
綺麗な青色にみえて、すごく感動しました。海もとても綺麗で、下を見ると、底まで透けて見える！
魚もすごく近かったです。
写真撮影してもらったあとは、船の近くで魚に餌をあげたり、写真を撮ったりしました。
餌をあげると近くに寄ってきて、夢のようなかんじがしました。
人生初のシュノーケリング、ほんとうにいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family this time. At first, I was wondering how my 5-year-old daughter (it was her first experience) would do, but as we prepared various equipment like wetsuits, she became cheerful! However, when the board started moving to the point, her mood gradually changed... When we arrived at the point and it was time to set off, she started to whine, saying, "I'm scared, I don't want to go," which was a bit troublesome. With the help of the instructor, we managed to convince her to start. Even when we entered the sea, she was still half-crying... But the instructor stayed with her one-on-one, and little by little, she got used to it. Perhaps she was moved by the world she saw underwater, as she quickly returned to being cheerful. After that, she started diving on her own and thoroughly enjoyed her first snorkeling experience. By the time we had to get back on the board, she was being a bit stubborn, saying, "I still want to do it, I don't want to get out..." The cave was very mystical, and I was impressed by the beautiful scenery. Each family has a dedicated instructor, so parents can take care of their children without missing out on the fun. This is a very reassuring plan that I absolutely recommend for families with children. I appreciate the instructor (I forgot to ask his name) for his clear explanations and kind, attentive support towards my daughter. Also, thank you for taking so many beautiful photos. I hope to participate in diving next time. Additionally, operating the GoPro is very easy. If I had to suggest something, I recommend bringing a micro SD card (4GB or more). (You can also purchase one at the shop...)

今回家族で参加しました。
最初５歳の娘（初体験）にはどうかな？と思っていましたがウエットスーツ等いろいろ装備品を準備していくにつれて、上機嫌！
と思いきや、ポイントまでボードが動き出したら、だんだん機嫌が・・・
ボードがポイントに着き、さあ出発！「こわい、行きたくない」とぐずりだし困りました。
インストラクターのお兄さんと一緒に説得しなんとか出発できました。
海に入っても半泣きのまま・・・
インストラクターのお兄さんが娘にマンツーマンで付いてくれて少しづつ慣れてきて、自分で海中を見た世界に感動したのかあっという間に上機嫌に戻りました。
それからはもう自分で何回も潜り初めてのシュノーケルを堪能してました。
おかげでボードに上がる時間になると「まだしたい、上がりたくない」とわがままを言い出す始末で・・・
洞窟内はとても神秘的でとても綺麗な景色に感動でした。
１ファミリーに１人インストラクターが専属でついてくれますので、お父さんお母さんが子どもの面倒を見て全く楽しめないということもありません。
とても安心で子ども連れのファミリーに絶対おすすめプランです。
インストラクターのお兄さん（名前伺うの忘れてしまいました）の娘に対するわかりやすい説明親切、丁寧な対応に感謝しております。また、きれいな写真もたくさん撮っていただきりありがとうございました。
次の機会ではダイビングで参加できればと思います。
あとＧoＰroの操作はとても簡単です。あえて言うならマイクロＳＤカード（４ＧＢ以上）を用意していくことをお勧めします。（ショップで購入もできますが・・・）

I participated with my three daughters, who are all 4 years old. Since a guide was assigned to our family, we were able to enjoy snorkeling together with peace of mind. Additionally, the facilities such as changing rooms and showers are well-equipped, so I think it would be nice to stop by while on the way with a rental car.

一番下は4歳の3人娘と参加しました
家族に1人案内の方が付いてくださるので、安心して全員でシュノーケリングできました
また、更衣室やシャワー室などの設備も充実していますので、レンタカーで移動途中とかに寄るのもいいかと思います

It was great to be able to visit various places from the morning at an affordable price! The bus guide's explanations were excellent, and I had a fun time in the bus without getting bored at all! I was able to learn a lot about Okinawa. I would love to request the same bus guide for my next sightseeing trip!

朝からいろんな場所を観光できてお値段もお手頃でとても良かったです！特にバスガイドさんの案内がとてもよく、全く飽きない車内で楽しい時間が過ごせました！沖縄のいろんなことを知ることができました。また、観光するさいは、同じバスガイドさんを指命したいぐらいです！

Tour was well organized.pick up at our hotel 5 minutes late, we were among the first person to get on the bus and could not choose our seat... We wanted to be seated at the front to prevent our baby girl to be sick during the trip.
Tour guide: she could not speak english but we managed to understand each other somehow

This time, because it was summer vacation, the cave was very crowded, and rather than feeling "beautiful!" it was more like treading water and waiting in line... In the end, it was great to be able to take a photo after waiting.

Previously, when I participated in the off-season, I was able to feel the wonder, so I think if you go, it would be more magical and you could appreciate the colors of the sea better when it's not crowded.

今回は夏休みということもあり洞窟の中はとても混んでおり、「きれい！」と感動するよりは立ち泳ぎで、順番待ちをしているという感じでした・・・。
最後は順番待ちのかいあり写真は撮れて良かったです。

以前、オフシーズンに参加した際は感動できたので、行くなら混んでない時の方が幻想的な海の色に感動出来ると思います。

On my first trip to Okinawa, I absolutely wanted to try marine activities, so I invited my university club members and made a reservation. Among my friends, there were some who weren't very comfortable with the ocean and felt anxious, but the staff were very kind and chatted with us, creating a relaxed atmosphere throughout our time there. The Okinawan dialect that the staff occasionally spoke was really cute. We were so excited about snorkeling that we arrived quite a bit earlier than our reservation time, but they let us take a shower to cool off, making the wait enjoyable. The day we participated was sunny, and even after showering, we dried off quickly, but it was nice to be able to listen to the instructions in the shade.

The Blue Cave was very popular and quite crowded, but while waiting, we had fun chatting with the entertaining staff member who accompanied us, and then... a truly breathtaking view unfolded before us! I strongly recommend experiencing this at least once in a lifetime.

初めての沖縄旅行では絶対にマリンアクティビティがしたい！と思い、大学時代のサークルメンバーを誘って申し込みました。友人の中には、海があまり得意ではなく不安な気持ちを抱えている者もいましたが、お店の皆さんが色々と優しく話しかけてくれたので、終始和んだ雰囲気で参加させて頂くことが出来ました。お店の方がたまに話す沖縄の方言？がとても可愛かったです。シュノーケリングをとても楽しみにしていた私たちは予約の時間よりもかなり早めについてしまいましたが、シャワーで水浴びさせてくれたりして、待ち時間も楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。参加させて頂いた日は晴天で、シャワーを頭から被ってもすぐに乾いてしまうくらいでしたが、日陰で説明が聞けるのも良かったです。
青の洞窟は大人気でかなり混雑していましたが、待ち時間の間も同行してくれたお店の面白いお姉さんと楽しく話しながら待っていると、、、そこには本当に感動の絶景が広がっていました！一生に一度はこの体験をされることを強くオススメしたいです。

I participated in this tour in July. The waves were calm, and we were able to safely enter the Blue Cave. Since it was a three-day weekend, the cave was very crowded, but I had a great time seeing many different types of tropical fish. I definitely want to join again when I come back to Okinawa.

7月にこのツアーに参加しました。
波は穏やかで無事に青の洞窟に入ることができました。
3連休ということもあり、洞窟内はとても混雑していましたが、
たくさんの種類の熱帯魚を見ることが出来てとても楽しかったです。
また沖縄に来た時は是非参加したいと思いました。

The equipment was relatively new and good! Also, we were able to get close to the Blue Cave by boat, which made it very easy. I would like to use it again!

機材が比較的新しく良かったです！
また、ボートで青の洞窟近くまで向かえたので、非常に楽でした。また利用したいです！

Considering our travel schedule, I was hoping to do some light snorkeling, and this two-hour session was perfect for us. After changing into wetsuits and receiving a basic explanation of snorkeling, we felt reassured as we headed to the spot. I was impressed that explanations were also provided in English for international guests, which is typical for a tourist destination.

Each staff member was assigned to a small group, taking photos for us, and the rental of underwater cameras was free, allowing us to take pictures freely. Since we planned to go to Kouri Island in the afternoon, we enjoyed chatting casually with the staff about places to eat along the way.

Above all, we had a wonderful time surrounded by the beautiful sea and the fish swimming by, making it feel like we were in an aquarium. The convenience of being able to take a shower right after coming out of the water is also one of the appealing aspects of this tour. The underwater camera rental was fantastic for me, and I'm still relishing the experience (laughs). Next time I visit, I would like to try diving as well. This trip has become so much better. Thank you very much.

旅行のスケジュール的にも、軽くシュノーケリング出来たらな~と思っていた所、こちらの２時間が私たちにはぴったりでした。ウェットスーツに着替え、シュノーケリングの基本的な説明もあり安心してスポットに向かう事もできました。 海外の方々には英語での説明もされており、さすが観光地だなという印象も受けました。

何人かに1人、スタッフの方が付いて下さり写真も撮っていただき、水中カメラのレンタルも無料という事で自由に写真を撮る事もできました。私たちは午後から古宇利島へ行く予定だったので、お昼ごはんは道中にこんなお店があるよ~などスタッフの方と気さくにおしゃべりも楽しむ事もできました。
何といっても、海の綺麗さと目の前を通り過ぎる魚にまるで水族館の中にでもいるような素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。 海から上がっても、すぐにシャワーを浴びれる手軽さもこのツアーの魅力の一つかなとも思います。 水中カメラのレンタルが私には最高で、終わった後もその余韻に浸ってます（笑） 次回、また訪れる時にはダイビングにも挑戦してみたいと思います。旅行もすごくよりよい物になりました。ありがとうございました。

Since we were going to Okinawa, my companion and I talked about wanting to go snorkeling, and that's when we discovered the Blue Ocean's Blue Cave snorkeling tour! We made a reservation right away! I was worried about whether we would be able to snorkel since a typhoon had been approaching until the day before, but on the day of the activity, we were blessed with clear skies and no rain, so we were able to enjoy it safely! However, when I spoke with the staff, they mentioned that the tour had gone on as usual the day before! It seems that the Blue Cave snorkeling is not too affected by the weather.

We arrived at the cave after about a 5-minute boat ride! Each group of about ten people had a staff member with them, which made us feel safe entering the water! The moment we got into the sea, I was so moved by the incredible clarity of the water that I was left speechless! When we participated, it was just before noon on a Sunday, so it was very crowded, and we were stuck in a bit of a traffic jam inside the cave for about 30 minutes. However, during that time, the staff took photos for us, and we were able to take our time exploring the cave, making it a very meaningful experience!

We also had individual photos taken at the spot that appeared the bluest inside the cave! The pictures we got there are truly treasures for a lifetime! They were so beautiful and mystical, even more stunning than the images I had seen online! I definitely want everyone to experience it for themselves!

After exiting the cave, we returned to the boat. During the activity, we were lent an underwater camera, so we were able to take many wonderful underwater photos! The staff were very kind and attentive, which allowed us to participate with peace of mind throughout the experience!

We visited many other places during our trip to Okinawa, but the Blue Cave snorkeling was the most fun and left the most lasting memories! It was truly, truly amazing! Thank you so much!

せっかく沖縄に行くならシュノーケリングしたいねと連れと話していたところ、こちらのブルーオーシャンさんの青の洞窟のシュノーケルを発見！！すぐに予約させて頂きました！！！前日まで台風が来ていたので、無事にシュノーケリング出来るのか不安に思っていましたが、当日はなんとか雨も降らず晴天に恵まれ無事にアクティビティをする事が出来ました♪しかし、スタッフさんにお話を伺うと前日も通常通り行われていたとの事♪♪青の洞窟のシュノーケリングはあまり気候に左右されないんだそうです( ´ ▽ ` )♪船に乗って5分ほどで洞窟へ到着しました！！！10人程のグループに1人スタッフさんが付いてくださり、安心して海に入る事が出来ました！海に入った瞬間はあまりに綺麗な海の透明度に言葉を失う程感動しました！！！！！！私たちが参加した時は日曜日のお昼前という事もあってか、大混雑で洞窟の中では30分くらい渋滞していました。しかし、その時間もスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくださったり、洞窟の中をじっくり見る事が出来たりととても有意義な時間でした！♪そして、洞窟の中にある1番青く見えるスポットでペアごとに個人撮影をしてもらいました！！そこで撮って頂いた写真は本当に一生の宝物です！とっても綺麗で神秘的で、インターネットで見ていた画像よりも何倍も綺麗に感じました！是非みなさんにも実際に行って見てもらいたいです！！！
そして洞窟の外へ出て船に乗ってもどりました。アクティビティ中は水中カメラを貸して頂いていたので何枚も素敵な水中写真を撮る事が出来ました！スタッフさんもとても優しくて気配り上手でしたので終始安心して参加する事が出来ました！！
沖縄旅行では他にもたくさんのところへ行きましたが、青の洞窟シュノーケリングが1番楽しく、心に残る思い出になりました！！！本当に本当に最高でした！ありがとうございました(*^^*)

The whole family had our first snorkeling experience! The instructions were thorough, and we felt comfortable participating.

Since it was our first time, we didn't have the chance to film ourselves, so we had someone take photos and videos for us.

It was the day the rainy season ended, and the weather was great. We were able to see a beautiful ocean that exceeded our expectations. I thought the kids might be scared, but they were actively enjoying it instead. We got a lot of wonderful photos, making for great memories!

We want to go again! (*^^*)

家族全員、シュノーケル初体験！
丁寧に説明して頂き、安心して参加する事が出来ました。

初体験なので動画を撮る余裕がなかったので、デジカメ撮影と動画と同時に撮ってもらいました。

ちょうど梅雨明けの日で天気もよく、想像以上に綺麗な海を見る事ができました。
子ども達は怖がるかも…と思いきや、積極的に楽しんでいました。
素敵な写真もたくさん撮って頂き、いい記念になりました！

またいきたいです(*^^*)

Since it was my first time in Okinawa, I was unsure about where to go and how to get there. Although there are time constraints at tourist spots, this covers the northern and central parts of Okinawa. I do hope to take my time on my next visit, but for now, it was an introductory budget tour. The bus guide was cheerful and entertained not only Japanese travelers but also foreign tourists throughout the day.

初めての沖縄だったので、どこに行くべきか、どうやって行くべきか、・・など迷っていたのですが、観光地での時間の制限は生じてしまいますが、沖縄の北部と中部はこれでカバーしてしまいます。　次回はじっくり時間をかけて行きたいとの思いもありますが、まずは入門として格安のツアーでした。　バスガイドの方が明るい方で一日、日本人だけではなく外国の旅行者も楽しませてくれました。

A trip to Okinawa with my daughter!
We participated in a plan that gathered at 10 AM on June 27 (Monday).
A staff member from our group guided us from the boat to swim into the cave. There was an unusual traffic jam at that time, but we thought that if we didn't endure this, we wouldn't get to see the breathtaking views, so we floated and waited for 30 minutes.
It was worth the wait because the blue was so vibrant!!! It felt like it was glowing! I was amazed by the beauty and the natural phenomenon. The staff also took great photos for us.
After leaving the cave and before returning to the boat, they took pictures of us feeding the fish and floating in the sea.
We received a CD full of memories that we couldn't capture ourselves, and I think this price is quite a bargain.
Thank you for a fun and wonderful time.

娘と二人旅の沖縄旅！
６月27日（月）の10時集合のプランに参加しました。
1グループに１人のスタッフが、船から降りて泳いで洞窟に案内してくれました。この日この時間は、いつにない渋滞ができてました。でも、これを我慢しまいと、絶景には会えない訳だから、30分ぷかぷか浮かんで並びました。
でも並んだ甲斐あって、青い青い青い！！！青く光ってる感じ！きれいなのと自然現象に、びっくりでした。貴重な写真もスタッフがバッチリ撮ってくれます。
洞窟を出て、船に戻るまでの間は、お魚にエサをあげて戯れてる写真や海の忮から浮かんでる私たちを撮ってくれる。
自分たちでは、撮れない思い出がいっぱいのCDもついてて、この価格は、かなりお得だと思います。
楽しい、素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

I had always wanted to dive in the Blue Cave of Okinawa, so I participated with a friend this time. I actually wanted to try deep diving, but since I had to catch a flight that day, I chose snorkeling instead. After putting on a wetsuit, life jacket, and fins, we moved by boat to the cave's side, and from there, we swam into the cave. The water inside and around the cave was incredibly clear, and there were many fish I had never seen before, making me feel as if I were in an aquarium. The cave was dimly lit, which made me a bit anxious, but I felt reassured as the instructor guided us. When I looked underwater in the cave, light streamed in from outside, and the entire underwater scene sparkled in turquoise blue, which was very mystical. During the fish feeding experience, there were so many fish and they were so close that I felt a bit scared, but I think it was a great experience. The waves were somewhat high that day, so I got a little seasick, but it became a wonderful memory that I will never forget.

以前から沖縄の青の洞窟に潜ってみたいと思っていたので今回友人と参加させていただきました。本当は体験ダイビングで深くまで潜ってみたいと思っていたのですが、当日飛行機に乗らなければならなかったためシュノーケリングを選択しました。ウエットスーツとライフジャケットとフィンを装着後、洞窟の側までボートで移動し、そこからは泳いで洞窟の中へ入りました。洞窟内およびその近辺は海水が大変澄んでおり、見たことがないような魚もたくさんいて、まるで水族館にいるかのような気分でした。洞窟内は薄暗く少し不安もありましたが、インストラクターの方が誘導してくださるので安心できました。洞窟内で水中を覗いてみると、外からの光が射し込み、水中全体がターコイズブルーに輝いていてとても神秘的でした。また、魚の餌やり体験ではあまりにも魚の数が多いのと、距離が近いのとで怖くなったしまうほどでしたがいい経験ができたと思います。当日は波がやや高かったので、少し酔ってしまいましたが一生忘れられないいい思い出になりました。

If you're going to Okinawa, I wanted to experience some ocean activities, and I happened to see a monitor tour and signed up for it.

There were two of us participating, and one had zero experience with snorkeling, while the other (me) had only done it a little at a resort overseas, so I was honestly a bit anxious. However, the staff were very thorough in teaching us how to wear the gear, how to enter the water, and how to tread water, which was reassuring.

At first, I was still a bit unaccustomed, but gradually I started to enjoy it, and I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the blue cave. Feeding the fish was also an amazing experience!

Many beautiful fish came to us, more than I had imagined, and I was so captivated that I forgot my age (laughs). It felt like being inside an aquarium, and I realized this is an experience you can only have in the waters of Okinawa.

I also took pictures of the fish and my friend swimming with an underwater camera that was rented for us. I thought this was an experience I wouldn't usually have. It's a pity that I didn't get many good photos because my skills weren't great (laughs).

My friend was initially scared to enter the water, but by the end, she said, "I want to do it again." It seems like she had a lot of fun.

If I have the chance again, I would love to enjoy snorkeling in the waters of Okinawa! Thank you very much to the staff who supported this precious experience!!

沖縄に行くならば、海のアクティヴィティを体験したいと思っていたところ、モニターツアーをたまたま目にして申し込みました。
女性二人での参加で、しかも一人はシュノーケリングの経験がゼロ、もう一人（私）も海外のリゾート地で本当にちょろっとやったことがあるだけで、正直少し不安もありました。
ですが、スタッフさんがウエアや装着具の身に着け方、海に入るやり方、立ち泳ぎの仕方など、とても丁寧に教えてくださったので心強かったです。
最初はそれでもやはり少し不慣れでしたが、次第に楽しめるようになりましたし、青の洞窟の色の美しさも満喫できました。
お魚の餌付けもとても素晴らしい経験でした！
想像以上に綺麗な魚たちがたくさん寄ってきてくれて、思わず歳も忘れて夢中になるほどでした（笑）。
まるで水族館の中にいるみたいな光景で、これは沖縄の海でなければ体験できないなと感じました。
レンタルしてくださった水中カメラで、魚たちや泳いでる友達を撮影も。これもいつもはできない経験だなと思いました。
腕前がイマイチなので、良い写真が少なかったのだけが残念ですが（笑）。
友達は最初、海に入ることを怖がっていましたが、終わる頃には「またやりたい」と言うほどに。それだけ楽しかったようです。
また機会があれば、沖縄の海でシュノーケリングを楽しみたいと思います！
貴重な経験のサポートをしてくださったスタッフさん、どうもありがとうございました！！

The weather was a bit bad, so we couldn't do a beach entry. I'm glad we had made a reservation for a boat entry. It was reassuring to have one guide for each group. They took photos at various points, which became great memories. The color of the sea was beautiful as well.

少し天候が悪くビーチエントリーは出来ない日でした。
ボートエントリーで予約しておいて良かったです。
一組にガイドが1人付いてくれるので安心でした。
いろいろなポイントで写真も撮ってくれて記念になりました。
海の色も綺麗で良かったです。
