All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

There were many Chinese participants in the tour, and they didn't respect the schedule. They casually walked and smoked in places where only one person could pass, and they easily cut in line for the restroom, among other things. Overall, these issues were too noticeable, and I can't say I fully enjoyed the sightseeing spots. Also, although I received a restaurant discount coupon for the Churaumi Aquarium from the tour guide, I couldn't use it because it was outside of the valid hours. I really wanted clearer time guidance.

However, for those without a car or time constraints, I think it's good that they provide a rough tour of the sightseeing spots.

ツアーの参加者も中国人が多く、
時間は守らない、1人しか通れないような
観光場所で平気で歩きタバコをする、トイレも
10人位平気で抜かすetc...とにかく、そういった事が
目につきすぎて、観光場所を十分に楽しめたとは言えませんでした。また、美ら海水族館のレストラン割引券を添乗員からもらった物の、時間外で使えず。しっかり時間案内して欲しかったです。

でも、車がない、時間もない方には大まかにざっくり観光スポットを回ってくれるので良いと思います。

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 very satisfied with the tour that took us to major sightseeing spots like Manza Beach, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Among them, the kindness of the guide and the driver left a strong impression on me. Since we were staying at a hotel not in Naha City, we planned to leave at Nago Pineapple Park and head to our hotel from a nearby bus stop. However, the guide and driver kindly researched a closer bus stop for us and offered to take us there since we would pass by it on our way back. It was a tour that moved me with the stunning views of Okinawa and the warmth of its people. Thank you very much.

万座毛、古宇利島、美ら海水族館など主要の観光地を巡れるツアーで、とても大満足でした。中でも、ガイドさんとドライバーの方の優しさがとても印象的でした。私達は、那覇市内でないホテルに宿泊する為、ナゴパイナップルで離脱し、その付近のバス停からホテルへ向う予定でしたが、ガイドさんとドライバーの方が、より近いバス停をわざわざ調べて下さり、帰路にそのバス停を通るから、と親切に送って下さいました。沖縄の絶景と人の温かさに感動したツアーでした。本当に有難うございました。

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.

I participated with three friends. There were only a few Japanese people, including us. The guide was also a foreigner. The tour was conducted in both English and Japanese, and key points were covered with guide tour earphones. I appreciated the straightforward guidance without too much interference. Thank you, Dominic. Since there were many foreigners, I was slightly worried about whether we could stick to the schedule, but there was no need for concern.

友人3人で参加しました。日本人は私達を含めても数人。ガイドも外国人でした。英語と日本語でのガイドで要所はガイドツアーイヤホンでした。あっさりとしたガイドで干渉されないところが良かったです。ドミニクさんありがとうございました。外国人が多いので時間どおり工程をこなせるか、若干心配でしたが、心配無用でした。

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.

The day I participated was fully booked, and I shared a table with others. Most of the participants were foreigners, and it felt like I was abroad. Unfortunately, the audio guidance was choppy and hard to hear. Overall, I was satisfied with the tour.

私が参加した日は満席で他の方と相席になりました。参加者はほとんど外国人で、まるで海外に来ている気分でした。音声ガイダンスは音声が途切れ途切れであまり聞き取れなかったのが残念でした。ツアー自体は満足です。

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。

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。

The audio guide tour is available in eight languages, so most participants are Chinese. A Japanese guide accompanies the group and instructs when to turn the audio guide on or off.

The tour visits Manzamo, Kouri Ohashi Bridge, Churaumi Aquarium, and Nago Pineapple Park in that order. Manzamo is very windy. On the day I participated, there was a storm, making sightseeing impossible. Kouri Ohashi Bridge does not have a tower to visit. I believe it would be very beautiful if the weather were clear. Churaumi Aquarium has many highlights, and we stay for three hours, which still feels a bit short. I don't feel a particular need to visit Pineapple Park, but there is an all-you-can-eat pineapple option.

It's a shame that the guide is audio-only, but I think this is the best course for a bus tour heading to the Churaumi area.

8か国語のオーディオガイドツアーなので、ほとんどの参加者が中国人です。
一応、日本人のガイドさんが同乗し、ガイドさんの指示するタイミングでオーディオガイドをつけたり、消したりします。

ツアーは万座毛、古宇利大橋、美ら海水族館、ナゴパイナップルパークの順番でまわります。
万座毛はとても風が強いです。私が参加した日は暴風雨で観光どころではありませんでした。
古宇利大橋はタワーには行きません。晴れてれば大変きれいだと思います。
美ら海水族館は見どころが多く、3時間滞在しますがそれでも少し足りないくらいです。
パイナップルパークは特に行く必要を感じませんが、パイナップル食べ放題です。

ガイドがオーディオのみなのは残念ですが、美ら海方面に行くバスツアーでは、一番いいコースだと思います。

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。

Manza Beach, Kouri Island, Churaumi Aquarium, Pineapple Park!
It was a very satisfying tour.
I'm not good at writing, so I want to convey the fun through photos.

It might be the same for both tours and personal trips, but it's a shame that I couldn't see everything I wanted to.
However, the schedule for the tour was perfect.

I really appreciated the bus guide occasionally collecting trash.

万座毛、古宇利島、美ら海水族館、パイナップルパーク！
大満足のツアーでした。
文章書くのが苦手なので、写真で楽しさを伝えたいです。

ツアーでも個人でも同じかもしれませんが、見たいところ全部見きれなかったのが残念です。
でもツアーとしては完璧な時間割でした。

バスガイドさんが時々ゴミを回収して下さるのがとてもとても助かりました。

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

I was happy to meet the whale shark. I was able to visit all the tourist spots I wanted to go to. The bus guide was very kind, which made me feel at ease while sightseeing. I'm glad I signed up for this. Thank you very much.

ジンベイザメに会えて嬉しかったです。
行きたかった観光場所にすべて行くことができました。バスガイドさんもかなり親切な方で安心して観光することが出来ました。今回申し込んで良かったです。ありがとうございました。

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！

Previously, when I participated in a sightseeing bus tour in Ishigaki Island, I had a great time, so this time I decided to join alone. However, even though it was called sightseeing, it was just a bus taking us to various points. The tour guide's commentary was only coming through the earphones. I had no idea what the bus guide was doing. I felt like it would have been better to drive myself. It was disappointing that going to a completely unfamiliar place and listening to the local bus guide's stories and songs made for a boring day of travel.

以前、石垣島で観光バスツアーに参加した時、とても楽しかったので、今回もひとりで参加してみました。しかし、観光といってもただバスでポイントに連れて行ってくれるだけ。
観光ガイドはイヤホンから流れているだけ。バスガイドは何をしていたのかさっぱりわかりませんでした。これなら自分でドライブに行った方がマシのような気がしました。全然知らない土地に行って地元のバスガイドの話や歌などを聞いて旅行の予定がつまらない1日になってしまい残念です。

I participated in this tour during my first trip to Okinawa. It was a very satisfying tour that allowed us to explore efficiently. At the Churaumi Aquarium, we were informed about the dolphin show times and were able to see the show as well. The duration of the tour was just right, and we were able to enjoy sightseeing thoroughly. Thank you very much.

はじ初めての沖縄旅行でこちらのツアーに参加しました。
効率よく回れて大変満足なツアーでした。
美ら海水族館ではイルカショーの時間も教えていただき、
ショーも見る事が出来ました。
所有時間もちょうどよくしっかりと観光できました。
ありがとうございました。

The tour guide was very professional and capable. Not only did she provide detailed explanations, but she could also sing, tell stories, and dance! The itinerary was well arranged, and the time management was excellent! The aquarium was beautiful, and the performances at the Ryukyu Village were also fantastic! I'm very glad I chose this tour!

導遊小姐十分專業，什麼都會，不但講解的仔細，還又會唱歌又會講故事還會跳舞!! 行程安排恰當，時間控制很好! 水族館非常漂亮，琉球村的表演也很精采! 很高興我選了這個行程!

It was our first trip to Okinawa as a couple. The bus guide, Nerome, was the best guide I've ever had on any trip. He subtly introduced us to the strong family bonds in Okinawa, as well as the sadness and current issues the region has experienced. A highlight was the performance of the quick costume change for the sweet potato girl and the sign language for "Tears So So," which gave us many joyful memories. My wife waved goodbye with both hands at the end. We are grateful to our five-star guide. We would be happy to meet again.

夫婦での初めての沖縄旅行でした。根路銘バスガイドさん、今までに旅行した中で、一番のガイドさんです。沖縄の家族の絆の強さ、沖縄の経験した悲しみと現在の問題をさりげなくご紹介いただきました。秀逸は紅芋娘への衣装早変わりのパフォーマンス、「涙そうそう」の手話等、楽しい思い出をたくさん頂きました。家内はお別れの時、両手で手を振っていました。５つ星ガイドさんに感謝です。またお会いできればうれしいです。

The driver and guide were excellent, and the bus was fine (+5 points), but being taken to a souvenir shop along the way was frustrating (-2 points). Because of this, please be aware that the time spent at the aquarium will be shorter, and during peak season, there is a high chance that you won't have enough time for lunch. While waiting at the entrance of the restaurants and cafes inside the aquarium, time passes quickly.

運転手さん、ガイドさん、バスなど申し分ないのに（+5ｐ）、途中で、お土産店に連れてゆかれるのは閉口します（-2ｐ）。そのために、水族館の滞在時間が短くなり、繁盛期なら高い確率で、昼食は満足に取れなくなることを参加される方はご承知ください。中ら海水族館内の、レストランやカフェの入り口で、並んでいるうちにあっという間に、時間がすぎてしまいます。

I traveled to Okinawa for the first time this time. It was a girls' trip, and my friend who came with me had been there several times before. We were able to move around easily with the tour, and we were taken to spots that were full of the charm of Okinawa! Moreover, the price was reasonable. I was amazed by the beauty of the sea at Kouri Island...! I definitely want to come back to Okinawa with this tour again.

私は今回初めて沖縄に旅行しました。女子二人旅で、もうひとりの友達は何回か来たことがある子です。ツアーで気楽に移動もでき、さらに沖縄の魅力が凝縮されたスポットばかり連れていってもらいました！しかも、お値段もお手頃。古宇利島の海の綺麗さには圧巻されました………！またぜひこのツアーで沖縄に来たいと思っています。

This was my and my daughter's first time in Okinawa. Based on experiences, we signed up for this tour.

We were picked up at our hotel and got on the bus. Suddenly, the bus started moving, and my daughter almost lost her balance, which was a bit dangerous... The weather was rainy, and I was worried about what was to come.

However!! Signing up for this tour was definitely the right choice★ We were able to efficiently visit the sightseeing spots, and above all, our guide, Mr. Karuma, was wonderful. He shared stories about Okinawa's history, sang songs with sign language, and presented paper plays and played the sanshin, among other things. The content was rich, and we didn't get bored during the travel time. Also, instead of constantly guiding us, there was even a nap time in between, which was comfortable.

It became the best memory of our trip to Okinawa. I would love to use this service again if I have the chance!!

私も娘も初めての沖縄。
体験談をもとにこちらのツアーに申し込みました。

ホテルまで迎えに来て頂き、バスに乗り込みます。
と、突然バスが動き出し、娘はよろけて危なかったです・・・
お天気も雨で、先行き不安でした。

が！！
このツアーに申し込んで大正解でした★
観光スポットを効率よく回ることができたし、何よりガイドの唐真さんが素敵でした。
沖縄の歴史についてのお話や、手話付きの歌、紙芝居、三線、などなど。
内容も盛りだくさんで、移動時間も飽きる事なく過ごせました。
また、ずっと案内ではなく、途中でお昼寝の時間？もあり、快適でした。

沖縄旅行で一番の思い出になりました。
また機会があれば利用したいです！！

I participated in the middle of a typhoon, but the rain eased up while sightseeing, and I was glad I could see everything. Thanks to the explanations and songs from the driver and guide, I was able to enjoy the tour efficiently. Thank you very much.

台風の真っただ中に参加しましたが、観光する時に雨が弱まり、すべて周れてよかったです。　運転士さんやガイドさんの説明や唄などのおかげで効率よく楽しくまわることが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

Although it was raining in the morning and the weather was unfortunate, the tour was packed with activities and very enjoyable. At the aquarium, we were treated as a group, so we didn't have to wait in line at the ticket booth. Personally, I really liked Pineapple Park. We watched a DVD of the Pineapple Park song and dance on the bus, which put us in a fun mood for our entrance. I wish we had a bit more time. Most of the tour participants were from Korea, China, and Taiwan, and there was only one other Japanese group besides us, so it felt like we were abroad. If the weather had been clear and we could have seen the beautiful ocean, I think it would have been an incredibly satisfying budget tour.

朝から雨が降りあいにくの天気でしたが、盛りだくさんのツアーでとてもよかったです。
水族館では団体扱いなのでチケット売り場に並ばずにすみました。
個人的にはパイナップルパークが気に入りました。
バスの中でパイナップルパークの歌とダンスのDVDをみて、楽しい気分のまま入場できました。
もう少し時間がほしかったです。
ツアーの参加者はほとんど韓国、中国、台湾の方たちで、日本人は自分たちとあと一組くらいだったので、なんだか海外に来た気分になりました。
晴れてきれいな海が見られていたら本当に大満足の格安ツアーになったと思います。
