Okinawa Main Island
I signed up for a tour because I found it cumbersome to rent a car for my solo trip to Okinawa. Unlike traveling individually, there are time constraints at each location, so I checked information in advance and decided on must-see spots.
Before arriving at each location, the bus guide provided tips on how to enjoy the sites and pointed out important details regarding time management and restroom availability, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
Although it was a group tour, I had the freedom to move around as I pleased after arriving at each site, so I never felt cramped. I also had the luxury of using a two-person seat by myself on the bus.
Overall, I felt that this tour was a perfect fit for me, and I was very satisfied. Thank you!
沖縄一人旅に際し、レンタカーを借りるのが面倒でツアーを申し込みました。
個人で回るのとは違い各所で時間の制約があるため、事前に行先の情報をチェックしてここだけは絶対というところを決めておきました。
各所の到着前にバスガイドさんから楽しみ方や見どころを教えていただけたり、時間配分やトイレについて注意点を伝えていただいたりと、安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
団体のツアーですが、各所到着後は自由行動で好きなように動けるため、窮屈感を感じることは全くありません。
バスも2人席を1人で使用させていただきました。
今回のツアーでは自分的には良いとこ取りで大満足でした。
ありがとうございました。
As expected, there were honestly some places in the course that I wasn't very interested in, but I understand that's how tours go. I definitely wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Ocean Park, so I think it would have been better if we had a bit more time. There are so many highlights that three hours just isn't enough.
予想通りでした。コースの中には正直、私にとってあまり興味のない場所もありましたが、ツアーなので仕方ないと思います。美ら海水族館と海洋公園は絶対に行きたかったので、もう少し時間があったらもっと良かったと思います。見どころがたくさんあるので、3時間では足りません。
Since it was a trip with both children and grandparents, we chose a tour that everyone could participate in together. I wanted to see the pineapples, but I guess it's the season. It was also fun to hear the bus guide's stories, which I wouldn't have been able to enjoy if we were moving around on our own.
子どもとじいじばあばの世代が一緒に旅行だったのでみんなで動けるツアーにしました。
パイナップル、、季節のせいですがなってるところが見たかったな!
バスガイドさんの話も自力で移動してたら聞けないので楽しかったです。
This was my first time using a bus tour. I didn't have time to do much research and was thinking about how to explore Okinawa when I found this tour. It was a tour focused on the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and the price was reasonable, so I decided on it right away. As a result, I had the best time. The bus was clean, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa very comfortably. I didn't expect the bus to be this enjoyable. I would like to use a different tour next time as well.
今回初めてバスツアーを使ってみました。というのも下調べの時間がなく、どうやって沖縄観光をしようか考えていた時このツアーを見つけました。美ら海水族館をメインにしたツアーで価格もお手頃で即決しました。結果最高の時間を過ごせました。バスも清潔感があり、とても楽に沖縄を観光することが出来ました。バスがこんなに楽とは思いませんでした。次回もまた違うツアーを利用したいと思ってます。
I boarded from the Kencho-mae Square.
It was a beautiful day, and Kouri Island had the best location.
The bus guide and driver were considerate of my mother, who has difficulty walking, and that was a great help.
Thank you very much.
The traffic jam on the way back was a bit frustrating, but that's a government issue.
I had a wonderful day.
Thank you.
県庁前広場から乗り込みました。
天気の良い一日で
古宇利島も最高のロケーション、
足の悪い母のことを
バスガイドさん、ドライバーさんが
気遣って下さり助かりました。
ありがとうございます。
帰りの渋滞は少しゲンナリしましたが、
これは行政の問題。
楽しい1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございます。
I participated with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children, along with one adult. I was worried that it might be boring since it was a long course, but we stopped at various places, which made the travel time to the next location feel relatively short, so we had no particular issues. It was great to efficiently visit the main spots in the northern area. The souvenir shop had quite a long line, so I think those who plan to buy a lot of souvenirs during this tour might feel like their time is short at certain points. We made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.
5歳、8歳の子どもと大人1人で参加しました。
長いコースだったので飽きてしまうかな?と心配していましたが、いろんな場所に寄ってくれるので次の場所までの移動時間が比較的短く感じられるのか特に問題なく過ごせました。
北部の主要スポットを効率的に回れて良かったです。
お土産屋のレジが結構並ぶので、要所要所でこのツアーでお土産をたくさん買おうとしてる方は滞在時間が短く感じられるのではないかな、と思います。
良い思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。
Since I participated from Naha, it was a full-day tour! The guide shared various information while we were on the bus, so I didn't get bored! I wish we had about 10 more minutes at Manzamo and Pineapple Park, but other than that, it was a lot of fun with no complaints! We visited five places, and given the price, it was a great value!
那覇から参加したので丸一日のツアーでした!
バスに乗ってる間もガイドさんが色んなことを教えてくれるので退屈せずに済みました!
万座毛とパイナップルパークはもう10分くらい欲しかったですがそれ以外は文句なしで楽しかったです!
5箇所も回れてこの値段だったのでコスパ良かったです!
I think this tour is efficient for those who find it difficult to travel to the northern part of Okinawa Prefecture without driving. We were able to see the Okinawa rail and fully enjoy nature. The lunch was also nice because it was at a smaller, popular eatery rather than a large cafeteria, which is common on tours. However, the contents of the lunch were different from what was mentioned beforehand (the sashimi was changed to grilled fish or simmered fish), and there was no explanation about this.
車を運転しないものにとっては行くのが難しい沖縄県北部を効率的に回れるツアーだと思います。
ヤンバルクイナも見られたし、自然を満喫できたツアーでした。
昼食も、ツアーにありがちな大きな食堂ではなく、小さめの人気の食堂ということもよかったです。
ただ、昼食の内容が事前に言われていたものと違いました(刺身が焼き魚?煮魚?に変わっていました)が特に説明はありませんでした。
The content of the tour was very good. However, it was unfortunate that it was a cold day with rain and clouds.
ツアーの内容は、とても良かったです
しかし 運が悪く 雨が降ったり曇ったりで寒い1日で 残念でした。
It was the perfect trip for someone like me who doesn't have a driver's license.
It can be quite challenging to visit so many different attractions, so I truly appreciated being taken around slowly by bus.
I was able to enjoy the scenery from the bus, and the explanations from the bus guide were very easy to understand and informative.
I would love to use this service again.
車の免許が無い私には最高な旅でした。
これだけの色んな名所を巡るのは大変なので
バスでゆっくり連れて行っていただけるのは
本当に有り難いです。
バスからも景色をゆっくり眺められるし、バスガイドさんの説明もとても聞きやすく、勉強になりました。
また利用したいと思いました。
I went to the Churaumi Aquarium on a tour from American Village. It was feeding time for the whale sharks, and I was able to see them swimming vertically. I've seen whale sharks many times, but seeing them in that vertical position was truly impressive due to their size! No matter how many times I go, I am always amazed by that large tank and the whale sharks!
Since Churaumi is far away, taking a bus tour is convenient, and you can chat while traveling. Plus, the ticket price is included, making it a great deal, so I've used this tour several times. Since I often stay in American Village, I hope more tours departing from American Village will be available.
アメリカンビレッジ発のツアーで、美ら海水族館に行きました。
丁度、ジンベイサメの餌の時間で、縦になっいるジンベイサメを見られました。
ジンベイサメは何度も見ていますが、縦になっている姿はさすがに、大きいなー!と感動しました。
何回行っても、あの大きな水槽とジンベイサメには感動します!
美ら海までは遠いので、バスツアーだと楽ですしおしゃべりしながら行けるし、チケット代も込みなのでお得なので、何回かこのツアーを使っています。
アメリカンビレッジに滞在する事が多いので、アメリカンビレッジ発の他のツアーも増えるといいなと思います。
I participated in a bus tour. It was a fun day visiting various places! I was a bit concerned about the traffic on the way back, especially since it coincided with the holiday season and the Spring Festival. If I get the chance to come back to Okinawa, I would love to join another tour!
バスツアーに参加
一日、色々な所に行って楽しい日になりました!
連休や春節とも重なりかなあ〜と帰りの渋滞が気になりました
また、沖縄に来れたらまたツアーに参加したいです
It's mainly tourist attractions in Okinawa, and there was a shuttle service right to the front of the hotel. The guide was very nice and even shared delicious gourmet information. It was a lot of fun!
沖縄のメインの観光地ばかりだし
ホテルの前まで送迎もあり
ガイドさんもとてもいい人で
美味しいグルメ情報まで教えてくださり
楽しかったです!
It was my first time participating alone, but I was given very detailed information about the sightseeing content, meeting time, and souvenirs, so I was able to enjoy the tour without any worries. The conversations in the car were so enjoyable that time flew by. The topics I was unfamiliar with and found interesting made me want to take notes, as the speaker was very good at sharing information. When I visit Okinawa again, I look forward to trying a different course.
初めての1人参加だったけれど、観光内容、集合時間、お土産など、とても詳しく教えていただき、不安などなく、楽しく観光できました。
車内でもお話が楽しくあっという間に時間がたってしまいました。
知らない事、興味のあるお話は、思わずメモを取ってしまうほど、お話もお上手でした?
また沖縄にいく時には、違うコースも楽しみたいと思います
I felt that two hours was a bit short. Three hours would have been better.
I was a little disappointed because I thought the carts at Nago Pineapple Park would be like those at a golf course.
Overall, I think it was a good value tour.
2時間では短い気がしました。3時間でよかったです
ナゴパイナップルパークのカートはゴルフ場にあるカートみたいのだと
思っていたのでちょっとがっかりでした
全体的にはお得なツアーだったと思います
It was a one-day tour, but the time allocation was just right, which was great. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I really appreciated it. I will use this service again. Thank you very much.
1日観光でしたが、ちょうど良い時間配分で
良かったです。
バスガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく
利用させていただき本当に良かったです。
また利用させていただきます。
ありがとうございました。
I think the admission fee is cheap, including everything. The sightseeing spots are great! The guide was also good! It's just a shame about the weather.
入館料金も含まれての料金、安いと思います。
見学の場所も良い!ガイドさんも良い!
ただ、天気だけが残念でした(个_个)
I really liked that we could visit various spots in just one day! I think it was a great deal that the bus fare, aquarium admission ticket, Pineapple Park entrance fee, Manzamo entrance ticket, and souvenir coupons were all included for 7,000 yen. It was a lot of fun!!
However, there were some issues with the bus guide's equipment, as the audio would cut out at times. It was a bit inconvenient when they were announcing the meeting times and important information about using the bus. If the cost includes the bus guide, I think they should ensure the equipment is charged and well-maintained.
1日で色んなスポットを回れる点が非常に良かった!バスの運行費、水族館入館券、パイナップルパーク入園料、万座毛入場券、お土産のクーポンが7000円に含まれているのが本当にお得だったと思う。非常に楽しかった!!
ただバスガイド用の機器が不調で音声が途切れるところがあった。案内はともかく集合時間やバス利用の際の注意事項をアナウンスしている時もあったので少し不便だった。バスガイド代が費用に含まれているのなら充電と整備は行なっておくべきだと思う。
My first trip to Okinawa started at the Churaumi Aquarium, and each time I went further south. Last time, I visited around Shuri Castle, and this time I traveled even further south. The sightseeing bus had a set schedule that included both places I was interested in and those I wasn't. This time, I went to Okinawa World, which I found uninteresting, so I asked to add the Ryukyu Glass Village at the last minute. Surprisingly, it turned out to be really enjoyable. I think being able to have such experiences is one of the great advantages of hiring a private taxi.
最初の沖縄には美ら海水族館から始まり、くるたびに南下、前回は首里城あたり、今回はさらに南下して南部旅行。観光バスは自分の関心あるとこも、興味ないところも決められた時間配分。今回は沖縄ワールド、自分には面白くなく、急きょ、琉球ガラス村を追加してもらった。しかもこれが予想外に良かった。こんな楽しみができるのも貸し切りタクシーの良さではないでしょうか。
The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy the tour. At Cape Hedo, I could see all the way to Okierabu Island. I also got to see the Yanbaru Kuina taking a bath, and it was a very good day.
天気も良く、ツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。辺戸岬では沖伊良部島まで見ることが出来ました。ヤンバルクイナの水浴びも見られたし、とても良い1日でした。
The guide's tips on how to enjoy each destination and stories related to Okinawa were helpful and enjoyable. It was windy and cold near the sea. Food was being sold at various locations. The Hikan cherry blossoms were also in bloom. I'm glad we took the bus since it would have taken over two hours to drive from Naha.
ガイドさんの、各行き先での楽しみ方や沖縄にまつわるお話がためになり、楽しかったです。
海の近くは風が強くて寒かったです。
各所で食べ物を販売していました。
ヒカン桜も咲いていました。
那覇から車で行ったら2時間以上運転しないといけないのでバスで行って良かったです。
It was a tour that balanced both the great nature of Yanbaru and its challenges. There was a proper explanation of each sightseeing spot in advance, and thanks to the unique and friendly explanations from the guides, I was able to enjoy the experience even more with a background knowledge.
やんばるの大自然と課題、両方をバランス良く詰め込んで頂いたツアーでした。各観光地の事前説明もきちんとあり、観光地の説明員さんの個性的でフレンドリーな説明のおかげで背景知識を持った上でより一層楽しめました。
I participated with my mother on our first trip to Okinawa. Since I had only been to the Churaumi Aquarium before, it was also my first experience at Manza Beach and the "Submarine Jr. II," which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but we could explore the submarine without getting wet even in the rain, and we saw sea turtles. We were able to take our time at the Churaumi Aquarium, but we got caught up with a group of school trip students at the souvenir shop, which delayed our checkout, so I gave up on buying souvenirs. Therefore, if you want to buy souvenirs, it might be better to go for checkout early.
初沖縄の母と一緒に参加しました。私自身も美ら海水族館しか行ったことがなかったので、万座毛や万座ビーチの「サブマリンJrⅡ」も初体験で楽しめました。あいにくのお天気でしたが、サブマリンは雨でも濡れずに見学できますし、ウミガメも見えました。美ら海水族館は比較的ゆっくり見れましたが、お土産売り場で修学旅行生の団体とバッティングしお会計が進まず、お土産は諦めました。なので、お土産を買いたい方は早めにお会計に行かれる方が良いかもしれませんね。
If you're looking for a purpose like the one mentioned in the title, it might be a good opportunity to participate. Although the schedule is a bit tight, if you see it as packed with activities, it’s not a bad thing. Personally, it was a valuable opportunity to see the Okinawa rail.
タイトルに書いたような目的なら参加してみるのもいい機会かもしれません。予定がややタイトなきらいはありますが、盛り沢山と捉えれば悪くはありません。
個人的には、やんばるくいなをみることができた、貴重な機会でした。
There were 10 participants on the tour, and since we had a large bus, the seats were spacious. The tour guide did not accompany us, but the tour conductor provided information about the sightseeing spots, and it was enjoyable thanks to their extensive knowledge. There were also foreign participants, but the tour conductor explained everything in fluent English, so we were able to gather and tour on time without any issues. The weather was cloudy with strong winds and occasional rain, but I was glad we could see all the sights. It's a pity that if the weather had been better, we could have seen even more wonderful views, but I would like to participate again for a revenge tour.
ツアー参加者は10名で大型バスだったので座席はゆったりでした。
バスガイドさんは同乗せずに添乗員さんが観光地の案内などしてくれましたが、知識豊かで楽しく過ごせました。
外国人の方もいましたが、添乗員さんが流暢な英語で説明していたので集合なども問題なく時間通りに観光できました。
当日は曇っていて風が強く時々雨が降る天候でしたがひと通り観光できて良かったです。
天候が良ければもっと素晴らしい景色を見られたと思うと残念ですが、またリベンジでまた参加したいと思います。
The guide's thoughtfulness was wonderful, and I had a great time wherever we went! If I have the opportunity to go to Okinawa again, I would like to rely on their services once more.
ガイドさんの気遣いが素晴らしく、何処に行っても楽しかったです!また沖縄に行く機会があったらまたお世話になりたいと思います。
We participated as a family. It was amazing. The aquarium and Kouri Island were particularly great. The additional meals were delicious as well. If I have the chance, I will definitely join again. I highly recommend this course.
家族で参加しました。最高でした。水族館と古宇利島は特に良かったです。追加での食事も美味しかったです。機会があればまた、参加させて頂きます。
是非お勧めのコースです。
It was a very cold day with occasional rain, but traveling by bus was easy. Along the way, I enjoyed listening to the audio guide, which provided explanations at various points, making it enjoyable even on my own. I believe it was when we passed over the Kouri Bridge, and the driver slowed down so we could take in the scenery properly.
時折雨も降りとても寒い日でしたが、バスでの移動で楽々でした。
道中、音声ガイドで所々解説を聞きながら進むので、ひとりでも十分楽しめました。
古宇利大橋通過時だったと思いますが、ゆっくり速度を落として通過してくださったので、しっかりと景色を見ることができました。
Although the weather was bad, the guide sang many songs and the stories were enjoyable, making for a wonderful time. I was concerned about my companion's footing, but I was grateful for the utmost consideration shown.
天候が悪かったのですが、ガイドさんが歌をたくさん歌ってくれ、話の内容も楽しくとても素晴らしいひと時を過ごしました。連れの足元に不安があったのですが、最大限の配慮をしてくださりありがたかったです。
I escaped the cold and enjoyed a long-awaited trip to the tropical Okinawa. I discovered new tourist spots like Manza Beach and American Village, which felt like a new Okinawa experience. I had been to the Churaumi Aquarium several times before, so I separated from the group, but just the two of us went to the Tropical Dream Center, where we enjoyed the tropical plants and beautiful flowers, truly savoring the island vibe.
As expected from the travel company chosen by Veltra, the staff, including the driver and tour guide, were wonderful. There were over 40 participants on the bus, a mix of Japanese and foreigners (mainly from Asia), and most people exchanged smiles as we passed each other. However, we had to wait about 20 minutes for a group of six young men and women, presumed to be Korean, who were not at the meeting point. At each tourist spot, they returned to the bus just in time, often one or two minutes late, which was quite common. I thought the early drop-off would be quick, but even before we arrived, there was an announcement, and despite the bus stopping, they didn’t get off until the tour guide went to get them. Eventually, they got off without saying anything.
They were likely not part of Veltra's group, but I thought it must be tough for popular tours to refuse anyone. Other than that, it was a problem-free and enjoyable trip.
寒さを逃れ、久々の南国沖縄旅行を楽しんできました。
万座毛・アメリカンビレッジ等新しい観光地も見えて、新沖縄発見でした。
美ら海水族館は以前に何度も行ったので、団体から離れる形態になりましたが、我々だけでしたが熱帯ドリームセンターに行き熱帯植物・きれいな花を見て南国の島を十分に味わいました。
さすがのベルトラさんが選ぶ旅行会社で、スタッフの運転手さん添乗員さんは素晴らしかったです。
参加者もバスに40人以上の日本人と外国人(主にアジア系)が混合乗車していましたが、ほとんどの人が笑顔ですれ違う感じでしたが、途中集合場所から参加した韓国人と思われる若い男女の6人グループが集合場所におらず20分程度待たされ、各観光地でも喫煙のためかバスに帰ってくるのが時間ギリギリで1・2分遅れはあたりまえの様子で、さすがに途中解散は早く降りると思っていたら、着く前に案内があったのにバスが止まっても降りず、添乗員さんがおこしに行って、やっとしばらくして6人で何も言わず降りていきました。
ベルトラさんの客ではないグループでしょうが、人気ツアーも来る人拒めずで大変と思いましたが、それ以外は問題なく楽しい旅ができました。
