All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

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。

I had a very fulfilling day visiting various places since the morning. I felt that the Churaumi Aquarium could have been a bit shorter, but for families, this duration might be just right.

朝から色々なところを回れてとても充実した1日になりました。美ら海水族館はもう少し時間短くても良いように思えましたが、家族づれだと今くらいがちょうどいいのかも知れません。

On my first trip to Okinawa, I searched for a tour that would allow me to see various sights in one day, and I participated in this one. Each stop had enough time for us, which I think was great for my elderly parents. Additionally, the tour fee included admission to the Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park, so we were able to enjoy ourselves from morning until night, making this tour very cost-effective. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

初めての沖縄旅行、１日でいろいろ観光できるツアーを探して、今回参加させていただきました。
ひとつひとつの滞在時間が十分あったので、高齢の両親にとっても大変良かったと思います。
またツアー代に美ら海水族館とパイナップルパークの入園料も含まれており、それで朝から晩まで遊んでこのツアー料金はとてもコスパがいいと思います。
とても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I was worried that a full-day bus tour might be tiring, but the guide was kind and I had a great time. The Churaumi Aquarium, which I visited for the first time, was also impressive.

１日かけてのバスツアー、疲れるかな？と思いましたが、ガイドさんも優しくとても楽しく過ごせました。初めての美ら海水族館も圧巻でした

I ended up traveling to Okinawa alone for personal reasons and signed up for this tour. Every place we visited was enjoyable, but the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium had more souvenirs than I expected, which was great. Since I was exploring alone, the guide kindly offered to take my pictures. They took photos of me at Kouri Island and Manza Beach, and the locations were beautiful, plus the pictures turned out really well! (laughs) Additionally, they were very helpful in sharing the timing for the dolphin show at the aquarium and recommending sweets at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. I had a wonderful time participating alone, and the kindness of the guide made for great memories. I highly recommend this tour!

訳あって1人で沖縄旅行をすることになりこのツアーに申し込みました。
回った場所はどこも楽しめましたが、御菓子御殿が予想以上にたくさんお土産がありよかったです。
1人でまわっていたのでガイドの方からお写真撮りましょうかと声をかけていただきました。古宇利島、万座毛で写真を撮っていただきましたが、場所もよくお写真がすごく上手で映えてました！（笑）
また、美ら海水族館のイルカショーの時間や御菓子御殿のおすすめスイーツを教えていただきとても親切でした。
1人で参加してもとても楽しめましたし、ガイドさんの親切さがとても良い思い出になりました。すごくおすすめのツアーです。

After a relaxing stay at a hotel in Ginowan, which is close to Naha and has a harbor view, my mother and I, as beginners in Okinawa, wanted to do some sightseeing on our last day, so we joined a full-day tour. Initially, we considered a taxi tour because of my elderly mother, but thanks to this punctual tour, we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see. If we had taken a private taxi, we might not have been able to visit as many places at my mother's leisurely pace, and we might have ended up returning early, which wouldn't have been the same as the tour experience. As a Japanese person living in France for 30 years, I was captivated by the beautiful voice of the female guide and her clear and correct Japanese! I was overwhelmed by the amount of information she provided and was impressed by the professionalism of Japan! While many Japanese might take this for granted, such experiences are not common in France or other countries!!! The wonderful guide was modest, but I believe that Japanese people should take pride in their abilities and engage with the world without being overly humble. This was also thanks to the detailed history of Okinawa she shared with us, and being able to witness the U.S. military bases in Okinawa!!! I am grateful for the great tour and the wonderful guide and driver.

母息子して、沖縄初心者、那覇にも近くハーバーヴューでもある宜野湾のホテルにゆったりと滞在後、やはり色々と観光したく最終日に参加した、終日ツアーでした。高齢の母とだったため、当初タクシーツアーを検討しましたが、結果、時間厳守のこのツアーに乗ったおかげで観たい所が全て周れ、貸し切りタクシーだったら同じ時間でも、甘えて母のゆっくりペースでたいして周れづ、また途中で帰るなどして、ツアーのようには行かなかったでしょう。在仏３０年の日本人として、ガイドの女性添乗員さん美しい声の、そして正しく綺麗な日本語に聞き惚れていた一日でした！そしてその情報量には圧倒され、日本のプロフェッショナルの凄さに感動しました！それが当たり前と思う日本人が多いのかと思いますが、フランスでも他国でもそんな事はあり得ません！！！その素敵な添乗員さんは謙遜されていましたが、日本人は、慎ましくあっても、そう‘’謙遜‘’せずに、誇りをもって、これからの世界と付き合っていかなければと思った次第です。それも詳しい沖縄の歴史をガイドしていただき、沖縄の米軍基地を目の当たりにできたお陰です！！！
良いツアーと素敵な添乗員さん、運転手氏に感謝

The guide was a pleasant person. The driver also drove safely. The sashimi set lunch was delicious, and it was a popular restaurant, but we were able to eat without waiting thanks to the good organization. We also got to see the Okinawa rail.

ガイドさんは感じの良い方でした。
運転手さんも安全運転でした。
昼食のお刺身定食も美味しかったし、人気のお店でしたが、段取り良く待たずに食べられました。ヤンバルクイナも見れました。

I think this is a great tour to enjoy Okinawa. However, while the dinner performance was interesting, the taste was just average. The portion was large. For me, American Village might have been better as a different sightseeing option. It wasn't very appealing for my aunt as a tourist spot. Okinawa's winter was surprisingly cold, and I wanted to return to the bus quickly.

　沖縄を満喫するのにすごく良いツアーだと思います。ただ夕食がパフォーマンスとしては面白かったけど味は普通でした。量は多かったです。アメリカンビレッジが私にとっては別の観光の方が良かったかなぁ？おばさんには観光としてイマイチでした。沖縄の冬、意外と寒くて早くバスに戻りたかったです。

It was a relaxing day tour from Naha to the northern tourist spots, swaying on the bus, buying and enjoying Okinawa's famous snacks at each stop, and taking in the scenery through the window. I was startled by the sound of military aircraft from the U.S. military base, but overall, it was a fulfilling experience in Okinawa. I had a great time. It was truly a wonderful experience. Of course, the staff were professional and provided a great sense of security.

那覇から北部の観光地まで…のんびりバスにゆられて、停まる毎に沖縄の名産おやつを買って食べて、車窓の景色を楽しんで、、、、米軍基地の軍用機の爆音におののいて、、、、沖縄を満喫出来る一日ツアーでした。楽しかったです。本当に良い体験でした。もちろんスタッフさんもプロフェッショナルで安心感も満載でした。

A bus tour is the most efficient way to visit the main tourist spots in the northern part of Okinawa Island in a single day. The Churaumi Aquarium lives up to its reputation and is truly impressive. Nago's Pineapple Park is an interesting and unique spot (the souvenir shop is surprisingly well-stocked).

沖縄本島北部の主要観光スポットを1日がかりで効率よく回れるのは、バスツアーならでは。美ら海水族館は評判どおりの見応え。名護のパイナップルパークはおもしろ珍スポット（お土産売店は真面目な充実ぶり）。

I made the reservation mainly for the Churaumi Aquarium, but Pineapple Park was incredibly fun! Pineapple Park had a unique atmosphere with music playing endlessly, but since the area is quite large, it's important to manage your time wisely. After the first shop you encounter at Pineapple Park, there’s another shop near the exit that sells alcohol and other items. You might run out of time to explore the area selling alcohol, so please make sure to fully enjoy Pineapple Park!

美ら海水族館目当てでの予約だったのですが、パイナップルパークが最高に楽しかったです！
パイナップルパークでは独特の音楽が永遠に流れ続ける不思議な空間でしたが、かなり広い敷地なため、時間配分を気をつけたほうがいいです。
最初に出てくるパイナップルパークの売店の後に、出口付近にあるお酒などを売っている別の売店があります。
お酒などを売っているエリアをゆっくり見る時間がなくなってしまうので、みなさんはパイナップルパークを余すことなく満喫できるように気をつけてください！

I wish I had a little more time to stay.

滞在時間がもう少し欲しかったーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー。

Since the main focus was the Churaumi Aquarium, a three-hour stay was too short. Adjusting for the dolphin show and the sea turtle feeding time, the actual time spent touring the aquarium was about an hour. Moreover, it took around 30 minutes for the round trip to the bus, so a four-hour stay would be ideal for a more relaxed experience.

While Pineapple Park and Okashi Goten might be necessary for the tour to spend money, I think it would be sufficient to choose one of them.

メインを美ら海水族館としてたので、滞在3時間は短すぎた。イルカショーや海亀の餌やりの時間を調整すると、実際に水族館見学は1時間程度。しかもバスまでの往復に30分くらいかかったので、余裕もって滞在4時間が望ましい。
パイナップルパークや御菓子御殿はツアーでお金を落とすためには必要かもしれないが、どっちかでよいと思った。

The Churaumi Aquarium features an impressive whale shark viewable from the tank near the café! As soon as I arrived at the café where I could see the fish, I made a reservation for a 40-minute wait and explored other areas. It was the most wonderful and relaxing time, healing with the fish. I came to Okinawa to obtain a qualification, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt a bit anxious, but since I was here, I wanted to enjoy myself and booked this tour. The family next to me was friendly, and I felt so happy thinking this was a nice connection. However, since there were so many places to visit, I didn't have much time, and at the Churaumi Aquarium, I was in line and barely managed to buy souvenirs. At American Village, it was quite challenging since I got lost, so it was tough if I hadn't decided on the places to go in advance! I thought it felt like a trial experience.

美ら海水族館は、カフェの近くの水槽からみるジンベイザメ？が圧巻！魚をみれるカフェついたらすぐに待ち時間40分予約して他をまわりました。さいっこうに素敵なリラックスしたお魚に癒された時間でした。資格を沖縄にとりにきたので女性で1人は不安でしたがせっかく来たので満喫したくこのツアーを予約しました。隣りのご家族が仲良くしてくれまたこれもご縁だな〜と幸せいっぱいでした。ただ、あまりにもたくさん行くので時間が全然なく美ら海水族館では並んでいてギリギリお土産買えず、アメリカンビレッジは、迷うのでかなり行くところを決めていなければきつかったです！
お試し感覚かな？と思いました。

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the northern area, which is a bit far to drive to on our own. Although the stay at each destination was short, we were able to visit the mangroves, Cape Hedo, the Oishi Rock Forest, and the Okinawa Rail, and truly appreciate the nature of the Yambaru region. The trekking portion had ample time, allowing us to visit several power spots. The lunch was delicious, with plenty of fish, and the portions were sufficient to satisfy even the hungry middle and high school boys.

自分で運転していくには少し遠い北部を満喫できるツアーでした。一つ一つの目的地の滞在時間は短かったですが、マングローブも辺戸岬も大石林山もヤンバルクイナも見学でき、山原の自然を堪能することができました。トレッキングは時間も十分とってくださっていたので、パワースポットを十分巡ることができました。お昼ごはんは魚も美味しく、量も十分で食べ盛りの中高生男子も大満足でした。

The bus guide was very cheerful, a great singer, and a veteran staff member! The driver also drove very safely and arrived on time.

However, I think a tour from morning to night can be tough for customers with young children, around 3 years old! They cry and can be noisy, and I believe it was quite bothersome for those around them on the bus.

I thought it would be good to consider this when choosing a tour!

That was the only tiring part.

★ Other than that, I was very satisfied with the content!

Thank you for your hard work! Thank you!

バスガイドさんはとても明るくて歌も上手でベテランスタッフさんでした！
運転手さんもとても安全運転で時間通り着きました

ただ子連れのお客様で3歳くらいのお子様には朝から晩までのツアーはきついと思います！泣くしうるさくてしかもバス中で履いてとても周り迷惑されたと思います

考えてツアーを選択したら良いなーと思いました！

それだけが疲れました

★あとはとても良い内容で満足しました！

お疲れ様でした
有難うございます！

Kim, our guide, provided thorough explanations and was kind at each location. The driver was also very nice. I thought I would like to go again (and meet them) someday.

ガイドのキムさんが、丁寧に説明をしてくれ、その場所ごとでも親切でした。
運転手さんも優しかったです。
また行きたい（会いたい）と、思いました。

I chose this tour because I wanted to experience Yanbaru National Park. The Oishi Forest Mountain has well-maintained trekking routes that are easy to walk. There are three types of trekking courses, but since time was limited, I only walked one course for 30 minutes.

I wish there had been a bit more time for free exploration in both Oishi Forest Mountain and the mangrove forest.

For lunch, we had a set meal with sashimi and grilled fish. Since we had some extra time, I strolled around the nearby beach.

There were many people participating alone, so we enjoyed taking pictures of each other, which was fun.

やんばる国立公園に生きたかったのでこのツアーを選びました。大石林山はトレッキングルートが整備されていて、歩きやすいです。トレッキングコースが3種類ありますが、時間が限られていたので30分の1コースだけ歩きました。
大石林山とマングローブの林では、もう少し長く自由散策の時間があればよかったと思います。
ランチはお刺身と焼き魚のついた定食でした。時間が余ったので近くの浜辺を散策しました。
お一人様で参加している人が多かったので、お互いに写真を取り合ったりして、楽しかったです。
