All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

You can visit tourist attractions just by riding the bus, and the guide shares interesting facts and history during the ride, making it a great deal for 5,100 yen! At the aquarium, tickets are distributed after purchasing them together, so you can enter right away without waiting in line! There’s plenty of free time too! The guide also informed us about lunch spots before entering, allowing us to avoid the crowds by timing our lunch perfectly.

Then we went to the snack shop at the beach just when we were getting hungry! They sell a variety of snacks, including individual pieces of chinsuko and other treats, perfect for a snack time. The guide also took us to Manzamo, which was reassuring. The retro atmosphere of American Village was lovely! I was very satisfied to reach the far end of the main island in just one day!

バスに乗ってるだけで観光名所回れて、バスの中ではガイドさんが豆知識や歴史などを教えてくださって、これで5100円は安い！！！
水族館でも、チケットをまとめて購入後配布してくださるので、列に並ばずにすぐに入れます！自由時間も十分！入る前にランチの場所も教えて下さり、時間をずらして混雑に巻き込まれずにランチできました〜
そして海に行ってちょうどお腹が空いた頃に行く御菓子御殿！沢山のお菓子が売ってあり、ちんすこうやその他のお菓子のバラ売りもあり、おやつタイムもできます
万座毛もガイドして連れて行って下さり安心でした。アメリカンビレッジもレトロな雰囲気が良かった！
1日で本島の端まで行けて大満足です〜！

This was my first trip to Okinawa, so I participated in this bus tour. There was a bit of a problem with the departure time, which made me anxious, but their response afterwards was solid, so it was fine. We were able to visit many places in one day, which kept it enjoyable without getting bored. The various hotel pickups were also helpful for my next trip to Okinawa. We visited many tourist spots, so the time at each location wasn't very long, but for me, it was sufficient. This time, since it was a monitor tour, one person's fee was free, so I thought it was quite a good deal price-wise.

今回初めての沖縄旅行でしたので、こちらのバスツアーに参加致しました。出発時間のトラブルがあり焦りましたが、その後の対応はしっかりしてくれましたので、大丈夫でした。沢山の場所に1日で回れるので、飽きずに楽しめました。色々なホテルでのピックアップもあり次また沖縄旅行の際の参考になりました。観光場所も沢山回るので、1ヶ所の時間はそれほど多くないですが、私的には十分でした。今回はモニターツアーで料金も1人分無料でしたので、料金的にもかなりお得だと思いました。

Since I didn't plan to rent a car for this trip, I took advantage of this bus tour that allowed me to visit attractions such as the Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park. I was able to visit places that are not accessible by train in just one day, and I had a relatively ample amount of time at each attraction, which made me very satisfied. I also felt very relaxed on the bus during the round trip. I'm glad I used this bus tour.

今回の旅行では車のレンタルをする予定が無かったため、美ら海水族館やパイナップルパークを始めとした観光地を巡ることのできるこのバスツアーを利用させていただきました。
電車などでは行くことができない場所にもバスで1日で巡ることができ、しかも1つ1つの観光地に割と十分な時間の割り当てで行くことができたため、とても満足しています。
行き帰りのバスでも、とてもリラックスできました。
このバスツアーを利用して良かったです。

The guide's explanation was great.
I could tell where I was on the bus.
The time spent at the aquarium felt short.
If you want to stay longer at the aquarium, it might be better to go there directly by express bus.
As for the day's sightseeing, I was very satisfied!
Thank you.

ガイドさんの説明もよかったです。
自分が今バスでどの辺にいるのかわかります。
水族館の滞在時間は短く感じました。
水族館に長く居たい方は水族館のみ高速バスで行く方がいいかも。
一日の観光内容としては大満足でした！
ありがとうございました。

The guide's stories were very easy to listen to, and I was moved by the song after the storytelling. The driver ensured a safe and pleasant bus tour experience.

This was my first trip to Okinawa, and I had a great time while feeling the warmth of the local people. I was able to return home with wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

I thought driving would be difficult due to the distance, so I joined a bus tour! It was a great deal since they took us to various sightseeing spots. The meeting place at the Prefectural Office Square was easy to find and convenient.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see the whale shark up close, and I was very satisfied with the dolphin show as well! The little gifts of chin-suko and pineapple sherbet were a nice touch.

Unfortunately, the weather was not great for the views at Manzamo and Kouri Island, but I would like to participate in other tours with Veltra when I visit Okinawa again!

レンタカーを借りての移動は距離もあり運転も大変だと思い、バスツアーに参加！！色々な観光名所に連れて行ってもらえるのでお得なツアーでした。
集合場所の県庁前県民広場は、わかりやすく良かったです。
美ら海水族館では、ジンベイザメを間近で見る事ができ、そしてイルカショーも見て大満足でした！！
ちんすこうとパイナップルシャーベットのちょっぴりプレゼントは嬉しかったです。
万座毛と古宇利島での景色はあいにくのお天気だったので残念でしたが、また沖縄に行く時にはベルトラさんの他のツアーにも参加したいと思います！

Pineapple Park was more like an amusement park than I had imagined. I was expecting just a simple pineapple field. It's better to think of it as geared towards children.

パイナップルパークは遊園地化されていたので想像と違っていた。
単なるパイナップル畑を想像してました。
子供向けと考えた方が良いです。

The tour was very convenient for us to take since they offer pickup and drop services from well known hotels. If you do not have your own rental car and only have about a day or two to explore the city, I would say this tour is your best bet. There are other operators that pick you up from the airport, but if you are living up north in one of the secluded beach resorts then this option works very well since you don't have to go back and forth into the city.

The guide spoke Japanese but also had English translation. We could not follow the translation much but the views make up for it all.

Time wise, we found 150 minutes good enough for Churaumi Aquarium but I would have liked to stay at the Kouri beach for a little longer. Then again it is a personal choice since I am a fan of white sand beaches. Other than the Charaumi Aquarium, I felt it was more about going from point A to B to C rather than savouring A, B and C. Having said that, this tour did introduce me to some of the amazing places in Okinawa. I spent half of next day at Kouri beach to sink in it's beauty completely.

My first trip to Okinawa. There were many things I learned from the guide's explanations that I didn't know before. I'm glad I participated because we were able to visit various sightseeing spots in just one day. If only the weather had been nice... that's the only downside.

初めての沖縄旅行。ガイドさんの説明で知らなかった事もいろいろありました。1日で色々観光名所が回れて参加してよかったです。お天気が良ければ…そこだけですね。

Since it was my first time in Okinawa with my mother, we were a bit anxious about renting a car, so we signed up for a bus tour that allowed us to visit various places. It was great to be able to see so many key spots. The Churaumi Aquarium had plenty of time allocated, but it was so full of highlights that it felt insufficient. I was really happy that the bus driver raised the sunshade for us at photo spots while driving.

母と初めての沖縄でレンタカーは不安があったので色々回れるバスツアーに申し込みました。要所を色々回れてよかったです。美ら海水族館は時間もたっぷりとっていましたが見どころ満載で足りないくらいでした。バスの運転手さんが走りながらの写真スポットを走行中に日除けを上げてくれて嬉しかったです。

There was a lot to see, so especially regarding the Churaumi Aquarium, I felt I would have liked a bit more time if I wanted to see the dolphin show. However, I was still able to see everything I wanted, and I was very satisfied! The guide was also very nice, and I enjoyed myself during the bus ride as well.

かなり盛り沢山な内容なので、特に美ら海水族館に関してはイルカショーを見たりするのであれば、もう少し時間が欲しいとも思いましたが、それでも見たいと思ってたところは見れましたし、大満足です！
ガイドさんも、とてもいい方で、バスの移動中もら楽しめました♪

Our resort hotel was on the northern side, quite inaccessible and we did not rent a car as well.

This tour enabled us to see (and taste) the best of Okinawa within just a day. As an added bonus, it was a great experience that started and ended punctually. Our guide was great and helped get the tour bus to drop us right at our hotel.

Highly recommend this to future participants!

The guide's performance was excellent! Although we departed late, we arrived 10 minutes early. Thank you very much. Please keep up the good work! ^_^

ガイドさんのパフォーマンスが最高でしたよ！出発は遅くなりましたが、到着は10分早くなりました。ありがとうございました。
また頑張ってください^_^

I enjoyed the tour where we could visit many places in one day. It might be a bit hard for those with small children.

I recommend it for those who want to go to the Churaumi Aquarium but find it difficult to rent a car.

I opted for lunch on the day of the tour, but due to time constraints, we couldn't choose from the menu; we had to eat what was already prepared when we arrived.

1日でたくさんまわれるツアーで楽しめました。小さなお子さん連れには少しハードかもしれません。
クルマを借りるのが難しいけど美ら海水族館に行きたい方にはおすすめです。

当日昼食ありにしましたが、時間の都合上メニューは選べず着いたら既に用意されているものを食べるというスタイルでした。

I was able to visit the desired sightseeing spots, but the time spent at each location felt very short, and there was a lot of time spent walking around, giving the impression of a rushed tour. I was a bit disappointed with the guide's lack of friendliness.

まわりたい観光地はまわれたが、各所の散策時間がとても短く感じ、歩き回る時間も多く、常にばたばたしたツアーだった印象。
ガイドさんの愛想が足りなくて少し残念だった。

I think it's a great deal to be able to stop by various places and spend three hours at Churaumi Aquarium for this price! Since we had three hours, we were able to take our time exploring the aquarium, even with kids. The hotel shuttle was really appreciated for traveling with children. I understand it can't be helped, but I always wonder if there's a way to avoid the 30-minute walk to and from Churaumi. On the way back, we arrived at the hotel earlier than planned, which was a relief.

いろいろなところに立ち寄れて、美ら海も3時間滞在できて、このお値段はお得だと思います！3時間滞在できたので、子連れでしたが、ゆっくり水族館をまわれました。ホテルの送迎でしたので子連れにはほんとありがたかったです。しょうがないとは思いますが、美ら海まで往復30分ほど歩くのはどうにかならないかなーといつも思います。帰りは予定より早くホテルに到着したので助かりました。

Perfect for a first-time trip to Okinawa!
Churaumi Aquarium is one of the attractions within the Ocean Park.
The scenery is breathtaking!
I was really satisfied to hear stories about Okinawa during the drive!

初めての沖縄ツアーには ピッタリ！
美ら海水族館は海洋公園の中の一つ。
景色にも感動☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
車内では沖縄にまつわる話しを聞くこともできて 本当に満足しました！

It was a long-awaited private trip! As someone who tends to be a bit of a paper person, the bus tour was incredibly helpful! It was attractive for being able to visit key spots, but I was also healed by the guide's singing and dancing! It's unfortunate what happened to Shuri Castle this time, but I will definitely visit again during the restoration and make use of the tour!

久しぶりのプライベート旅行でした！ペーパーな自分としては非常に助かるバスツアー！要所を巡れる点でも魅力的でしたが、ガイドさんの歌声と踊りに癒されました！この度は首里城が残念な事になってしまいましたが、復興の際には改めてまた伺い、利用させて頂きますね！

It can be quite difficult to visit tourist spots without being able to drive, but I was glad to join this tour and efficiently visit various places. I was moved when I saw the large whale shark at the Churaumi Aquarium. The guide was fun and taught us the names of flowers, which I enjoyed. The steakhouse I opted for had an entertaining performance, and the staff were kind. When I requested, "I can't chew hard food because I'm undergoing dental treatment, so please cut the meat into smaller pieces," they cut it into about 2 cm cubes, making it easy to chew. I would like to join a tour with Veltra again if I have the opportunity.

車が運転できないと、なかなか観光地を回りにくいですが、このツアーに参加して、効率よくいろんな所に行けて良かったです。
美ら海水族館で大きなジンベイザメを見たときは感動しました。
ガイドさんが花の名前等を教えて下さって楽しかったです。
オプションで申し込んだステーキハウスはパフォーマンスも面白く、スタッフも親切でした。
「歯の治療中なので、かたい物が噛めないから肉を小さく切って欲しい」とリクエストしたら２センチ角くらいに切って下さったので噛みやすかったです。
また機会があればベルトラさんのツアーに参加したいです。

I participated in this trip with my mother. We efficiently visited tourist attractions and enjoyed the entire day without getting bored thanks to the guide's explanations and stories during our travels. Considering the idea of renting a car and driving in an unfamiliar place, I think this tour is a great deal.

母娘での旅行で参加いたしました。効率的に観光名所を回り、移動中もガイドさんの説明やお話で飽きることなく一日中楽しめました。レンタカーを借りて慣れない場所を運転する事を考えたら、とってもお得なツアーだと思います。

Kouri Island is beautiful. There were a few waves, but I enjoyed exploring the Churaumi Aquarium until just before closing time. It was great. At Manza Beach, it usually seems to be crowded, but it was surprisingly less busy this time, so I was able to see it quickly.

古宇利島は、キレイ　少し波はあったけど　美ら海水館は、時間ギリギリまで、開園の中を見ました、良かったです。万座毛は、いつもは、たくさん人がいるみたいで、珍しく人が少なかったので、早く見れました。　

This was my first time participating in this kind of bus tour, and I had a great time learning various things thanks to the bus guide's extensive knowledge. I got to see the professionalism in their work. Thank you very much.

この手のバスツアーへの参加は初めてでしたが、バスガイドさんの豊富な知識で様々な事を知れて大変楽しめました。プロの仕事ぶりを見せて頂きました。有難うございました。

First, there was a mix-up with the meeting place, and we were made to wait longer than scheduled. I naturally thought we would tour Pineapple Park in the pineapple-shaped car shown in the pictures, but due to congestion, despite arriving earlier than planned, we ended up just walking around, which was disappointing.

We spent three hours at the aquarium, watched the dolphin show, and didn't have time to visit other botanical gardens. We saw whale sharks at the aquarium, and since it was Saturday, the souvenir shop was crowded. The bus stop at the meeting place was quite far, so in the end, we didn't have time to buy anything.

Considering the transportation costs, the admission fee is cheap, so I understand that. However, I wish they had reduced the time for lunch at the facility we stopped at (the small sandwiches were not good) and allowed us to eat our bento on the bus instead, so we could have more time at the aquarium.

まず集合場所の取違いがあり、予定時間より待たされました。
パイナップルパークは当然、看板写真にあるパイナップルの車？で巡ると思っていたら、混雑との事で、予定より早めに着いたにもかかわらず、まさかの歩いて回るだけでガッカリ。
水族園で三時間、イルカショーをみて、他の植物園などまわる時間はなく、水族園でジンベイザメなどをみて、土曜日だったこともあり最後お土産やさんも並んでて、集合場所のバス乗り場まで距離があるため、結局買う時間なかったです。
交通費を思えば入場料付きで安いので仕方ないとはいえ、途中で寄った施設でのランチ(小さなサンドイッチ不味いです)の時間を削って、バス内でお弁当を食べるなどにして、水族園の時間を増やしてほしいと思いました。

The place where I had lunch was old, and it had a souvenir shop attached to the cafeteria, but there was a hall with a lot of butterflies, which was uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend that place. Everything else was good. It was easy to travel by bus, I could enjoy the scenery, and the prices were reasonable.

お昼を食べた場所は古く、食堂にお土産屋さんがついてる所だったのですが、そこに蝶がたくさんいる館があったのですが、気持ち悪かったです。あそこはないな～×。そこ以外は良かったです。バスで楽だし、景色も見られるし、値段もお手頃でした。

I was able to visit popular spots like the Churaumi Aquarium in just one day, and I was very satisfied. My top recommendation is the bus guide. Not only does she provide information about the tourist attractions, but she also shares various stories about Okinawa's past and present. She is great at storytelling and singing, and her pleasant demeanor made it the best memory of my trip.

美ら海水族館などの人気のスポットを、1日でまわることが出来て、大満足です。
一番のおススメは、バスガイドさんです。観光地の案内だけでなく、沖縄の今、昔のいろいろなお話をしてくれます。お話も歌も上手で感じも良くて、旅の一番の思い出になりました。

I had a great time.
The meeting point was Palette Kumoji near the prefectural office.
Since it's also a waiting area for other sightseeing buses, it was somewhat crowded.
However, the tour guide efficiently checked the reservation list and guided us to the bus.
The bus was a large sightseeing bus that could accommodate 50 to 60 people.
Since I had small children with me, we reserved two seats, but there was enough space, and we were allowed to move to any available seats, which was very appreciated.
We visited various sightseeing spots and headed to our main destination, the Churaumi Aquarium.
We spent a short 150 minutes enjoying a meal while watching the large tank and thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin show before heading back.
While it had elements of a whirlwind tour, I think it's perfect for those who want to hit the major tourist spots.
The tour guide's stories were interesting, covering topics from Okinawa's base issues to road conditions; it might not resonate with everyone, but I found it fascinating.
Also, since there is quite a bit of walking at the aquarium, Manzamo, and Ryukyu Village, a stroller is essential.
Thank you very much.

とても楽しませてもらいました。
集合は県庁近くのパレット久茂地。
他の観光バスの待ち合わせエリアでもあるので、多少混雑。
ですが、添乗員さんがテキパキと予約表を確認してバスへ案内してくれました。
バスは50～60名乗れる大型の観光バス。
小さな子連れだったので席は2名分の確保でしたが、余裕があるので、空いている席に移動してもよいとのことで、とてもありがたかったです。各観光地を周り、最大の目的地の美ら海水族館へ。
150分と決して長くない時間を使って、大水槽を見ながら食事をし、イルカショーを堪能して帰ってきました。
弾丸ツアー的な要素ありますが、王道観光地を押さえておきたい人にはぴったりなツアーだと思います。添乗員さんのお話もおもしろく、沖縄の基地問題から道路事情まで、興味ない人には響かないかもしれませんが笑、私は興味深く聞いてました。
あと水族館や万座毛、琉球村は結構歩くので、ベビーカーは必須です。
ありがとうございました。

Guide was great...sang an Okinawan song to us, and with a good voice.

As a beginner, I was quite anxious at first, but the staff were very kind and taught me well, and I realized that diving can be enjoyable even if you can't swim!

Thank you very much!

初心者なので、最初結構不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんがとても丁寧に教えていただきまして、ダイヴィングは泳げなくても楽しめることを再認識しました！

本当にありがとうございました！

I've been to the main island many times, so honestly, there weren't any new places for me, but I wanted to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park again, so I joined the tour. The guide was absolutely amazing! Their quick movements and consideration, plus their excellent English skills! It must be tiring to speak the same thing in Japanese and English twice...

One thing that concerned me was that we arrived at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at a somewhat awkward time for the "Oki-chan Show." Since it was a bit far, moving from indoors to the show and back was hot. However, if I were to visit all these places on my own, it would be difficult and expensive, so I think the cost performance is excellent! 😊

何度も本島に行っているので、正直初めての場所はありませんでしたが、美ら海水族館と久しぶりにパイナップルパークに行きたくてツアーに参加しました。なんと言ってもガイドの方が最高でした！動きや配慮のテキパキさ、めちゃくちゃ英語が堪能！日本語、英語と同じ事を二回話すのは疲れるでしょうね…
一つ気になったのは、美ら海水族館に着いたのは「オキちゃんショー」には中途半端な時間だった事。離れているので屋内→ショー→屋内の移動暑かったー。しかし、個人でこれだけの場所を周るとなると大変だし高くつくしコスパは最高だと思います(^^)

I signed up for a tour since I was traveling alone and didn't have a driver's license. The bus was cool, and the guide entertained us a lot, teaching us things I didn't know along the way with the beautiful scenery. The driver also greeted us every time we got off. I left the tour due to my own circumstances, but they treated me with kindness until the end. I'm glad I participated. The highlight of the tour was gaining various information and learning about Okinawa's history. I would like to join again. Thank you very much.

ひとり旅で免許もないので、ツアーに申し込んでみました。
バスは涼しいし、ガイドさんは沢山楽しませてくださり、知らなかったことも道すがらの風景と共に教えてくださいました。運転手さんも降りるたびに声を掛けてくださいました。
私の都合で離脱しましたが、最後まで丁寧に接してくださいました。
参加して良かったです。
ツアーの醍醐味は、色々な情報や沖縄の歴史などを得られることです。また参加したいと思いました。
どうもありがとうございました
