All Reviews for Cape Manzamo

This was my second time, but it was my husband's first visit to Okinawa! He was so moved by Okinawa that he was left speechless by the various places we experienced. This tour takes you to all the best spots and is absolutely the best tour. I highly recommend it! We are already talking about wanting to return to Okinawa after the reconstruction of Shuri Castle.

私は2度目でしたが主人は
沖縄初上陸！様々な場所で感じられる
沖縄に言葉を失うほど感動していました。
このツアーは良いところ取りで連れて行ってくれる最高のツアーです。
絶対におすすめです！次は首里城再建後に
また沖縄に戻って来たいと話しています。

It was packed with content. We visited all the major tourist spots in the northern region, and the ticket price for the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was included, which felt like a great deal.

盛りだくさんの内容でした。北部の主要な観光地をもれなく回り、沖縄美ら海水族館のチケット代も含まれており、お得感ありました。

I was able to enjoy the Churaumi Aquarium slowly. Although I left at 7 PM, they made sure to guide me thoroughly around.

ゆっくりと美ら海水族館
堪能できました
午後７時の帰りでしたがその分しっかり
あちこち案内してくれました

I was able to move smoothly to each destination with hardly any traffic, which gave me plenty of time to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace.

各訪問先へは殆ど渋滞もなくスムーズ移動が出来ていて時間的余裕があり、大変ゆっくりと楽しむことができたと思います。

I chose to use this service because there were many reviews, and the Panta Cafe and Churaumi Aquarium looked appealing. The experience was as good as others have described. It happened to be the day when the dolphin show at the Okichan Theater resumed.

However, despite the 8:20 AM meeting time, there was no staff in front of Nippon Rent-A-Car, and I had to confirm with the inbound tour staff nearby several times. In the end, there was staff near the bus, and everyone was confused. As a Japanese person, I would prefer the staff to be at the designated location for check-in.

口コミが多く、パンタカフェや美ら海水族館が魅力的だったので利用しました。内容は他の方が書いている通り良かったです。ちょうどオキちゃん劇場のイルカショー再開の日でした。
朝、8:20集合なのに、ニッポンレンタカー前にスタッフはおらず、近くにいたインバウンドツアーのスタッフに数回確認しました。結局、バスの近くにスタッフがいて、皆さん戸惑っていました。日本人としては、記載された場所にいて受付して欲しいです。

We booked an 8-hour private car service from the cruise ship terminal in Okinawa. Despite a delayed start due to immigration, our driver was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we covered multiple stops efficiently. The driver provided some time buffer without extra charges. It was a great short visit experience and we are happy with the service. Google translate works well well!

I had visited the Churaumi Aquarium multiple times, so this time I wandered around the surrounding facilities. I enjoyed the planetarium and the rare tropical plants. Personally, I wish I had more time to spend at American Village.

美ら海水族館は何度も訪れていたので今回は周辺の施設をウロウロ見て回りました。プラネタリウムや熱帯の珍しい草花を堪能させて頂きました。
個人的にはアメリカンビレッジの滞在時間がもっとあったらいいなぁと思ってます。

I signed up for this tour because there was no one to drive the car. It was great to be able to quickly visit famous tourist spots. I also appreciated that it was all free time instead of group activities. If I had to be picky, since we went to Kouri Island, it would have been perfect if we could have also visited Heart Rock.

車を運転できる人がいなかったので、このツアーに申し込みました。
有名な観光地をサクッと観光できて良かったです。
団体行動ではなく、すべて自由行動なのも良かったです。
欲を言えば、せっかく古宇利島に行ったのでハートロックも行けたら文句なしでした。

Just going to the Churaumi Aquarium costs 5,000 yen round trip by bus (3,000 yen with a discount ticket) plus the entrance fee of 1,750 yen. Additionally, you can visit Kouri Island, Manzamo, and American Village all in one day, making it a great value. I highly recommend it. I also made friends with people from various countries while sharing rides.

美ら海水族館に行くだけでも、路線バスなら往復5000円【割引切符でも3000円】+美ら海水族館入場料金1750円
更に古宇利島、万座毛、アメリカンビレッジ迄1日で周遊でき、コスパが最高にいいので、ぜひお勧めします。いろんな国々の方々との相乗りで友達も出来ました。

Everything are good , recommence , resonable price

Every is good, bus and escort guide very nice ...all spot arrive and depart in time ...good service

Although the weather was looking ominous due to the approaching typhoon, the rain stopped when we arrived, and we were able to take memorable photos.

台風が近付いているという事で　雲行きの怪しい中の観光でしたが　到着すると雨が上がり思い出の写真も撮れました

I enjoyed watching the performance while the food was being seasoned. It was a great memory for my friend, as we got to enjoy not only the steak but also Okinawan vegetables like purple sweet potatoes and papaya. I'm glad we chose the dinner option.

調理される方が味付けされる時のパフォーマンスが見ていて楽しかったです。ステーキだけでなく紅芋やパパイヤなど沖縄の野菜もいただけてよい思い出になったと友人に喜ばれました。ディナー付きを選んでよかったです。

I'm really glad I was able to visit the spots I wanted on my third tour. Although time was a bit tight, I got to see the Eisa show at Ryukyu Village, and I was able to buy a few things I wanted at Okashi Goten. What satisfied me the most on this tour were Manzamo and the beach at Banta Cafe. Both had amazing views, and the sunset at Banta Cafe was particularly moving. Next time I come to Okinawa, I want to visit Banta Cafe again.

3回目のツアー参加で行きたいスポットに行けたのが本当によかった。時間は少し惜しかったが琉球村ではエイサーショーを見れ、御菓子御殿では欲しいものもそこそこ買えた。このツアーで満足したのは、万座毛とバンタカフェのビーチだった。どちらも景色が最高だったし、特にバンタカフェのサンセットはとても感動的だった。
次に沖縄に来る際はまた、バンタカフェに行きたい。

This time, I wanted to travel to Okinawa without renting a car, so I booked a bus tour. The stay times at each location were somewhat long or short, making it difficult to spend time as I wished, but it was nice to not have to worry about traffic during the travel time.

今回はレンタカーを借りずに沖縄旅行に行きたくて、バスツアーを予約しました。
それぞれの場所での滞在時間が、微妙に長かったり、短かったりで、思うように時間を過ごすのが難しかったですが、移動時間は渋滞等を気にせずに過ごせたのは良かったです。

I appreciated that the tour took me to places I wanted to visit. It was great to see both new locations and places I had been to in the past after a long time, especially with such nice weather. The male tour guide had a very kind way of speaking and remained calm no matter what happened, which left a very good impression. More than half of the tour participants were from overseas, and as mentioned in other reviews, some people were late returning to the meeting point, casually laughing and walking back to the bus, and even brought soft serve ice cream back despite the no food or drink rule on the bus. I think if someone is easily irritated by such laxity with time, a sightseeing tour might not be suitable for them. Personally, I enjoyed the tour until the end thanks to the tour guide's kind support, which helped cover for those issues. I would like to participate in other tours as well.

ツアーなら行きたい場所に連れて行ってもらえるのが良かった。初めての場所や昔行った事のある場所も久々に観に行けて天気もよくて楽しかったです。添乗員の男性もとても優しい話し方で何があっても落ち着いた対応でとても好印象でした。ツアー客の半分以上は海外の方でしたが、他の口コミにもありましたがやはり集合時間に帰ってこないで普通に笑って歩いてバスに戻ってきていて車内での飲食不可でもソフトクリーム持って帰ってきたりと時間にルーズな事にいちいちイラついてしまう人には観光ツアーは不向きかと思いました。個人的にはそれをカバーしてくれるだけと添乗員さんの優しい対応があったので最後まで楽しめました。また他のツアーにも参加してみたいです

Due to the approaching typhoon, the waves were somewhat high, but the staff ensured our safety, allowing us to go out to sea with peace of mind. Additionally, the conversations with the staff while we were out at sea were enjoyable and created great memories.

台風が近付いていたせいもあり多少、波が高かったのですがスタッフの方が安全に対応していただけたので安心して海に出る事ができました。また海に出てからのスタッフの会話も楽しく良い思い出になりました。

I participated without high expectations due to the heavy rain forecast from the previous day. Since it’s a famous tourist spot, there were many inbound visitors, creating an atmosphere that felt almost like traveling abroad, even on the bus.

I thought there might be some changes due to the bad weather, but thankfully, we were able to visit all the planned attractions as scheduled. The Churaumi Aquarium was bustling with a large number of tourists despite the rain.

I had heard that the blue sea of Kouri Island and the single road were wonderful, so it was disappointing to experience heavy rain. However, it was a relief that they made arrangements so we could see well from the bus.

At Manzamo, the rain lightened up, allowing us to take our time for photos. The long drive of nearly 12 hours was impressive, and the driver (a female driver from the Cerulean Blue Bus) showed no signs of fatigue. I made sure to express my gratitude on the way back.

前日から大雨の天気予報で期待せずに参加しました。有名な観光地なのでインバウンド客も多く、車中でもまるで海外旅行？と思うくらいの雰囲気でした。
悪天候で一部変更もありかな？と思っていましたが、お蔭様でどこも予定通りに観光できました。「美ら海水族館」は、雨にも関らず大変大勢の観光客で賑わっていました。
古利島の海のブルーと一本道が素晴らしいと聞いていただけに、大雨で残念でした。車中からもよく見えるように配慮してくださったのが救いでした。
万座毛では雨の小降りになり、ゆっくり写真撮影などもできました。
ほぼ12時間ほどの長い運転にドライバーさん（セルリアンブルーバスの女性運転手）が、疲れも見せない印象が良かったです。帰りには、キッチリお礼を申しました。

This trip is very interesting; we could spend a bit more time at the aquarium. Next time, I want to participate in other Okinawa itineraries, such as going out to the sea or diving...

今回の旅行はとても面白いです、水族館はもう少し時間を残すことができます。次回は海に出たりダイビングしたりするなど、他の沖縄の旅程に参加したい⋯⋯⋯⋯

This quality at this price is quite wonderful✨
I was able to enjoy a fantastic dance performance for the first time during dinner.
Thanks to this, I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa(^^)

この値段でこのクオリティ
なかなか素晴らしい✨
夕食もうらしまで、素晴らしい舞踊を
はじめてみさせていただきました。
おかげさまで

沖縄満喫出来ました(^^)

Most of the participants were from overseas. The Japanese participants returned to the bus on time, but I was surprised by the laxity of the overseas participants regarding time. As a result, the departure times from various locations were delayed, which gradually reduced our time to explore, and that was disappointing. I think the time to look around American Village was short.

The guide was from overseas and spoke broken Japanese, but they were very polite in assisting the customers, which was great.

ほとんどが海外の方でした。

片言でしたが
丁寧にお客様に対応していて◎です。

I always go to Okinawa, but this was my first time using a bus tour (^o^) The driver and the guide were very warm and always checked in with us, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The guide was very kind, had a great personality, and was cheerful, which was wonderful! We visited the Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, Ryukyu Village, and Okashi Goten, finishing at Banta Cafe. If I had driven myself, I would have surely gotten tired from driving, but it was so relaxing to be gently swayed by the bus, and the time flew by. The Okinawan music during the ride was soothing and truly pleasant. Although the time was limited, I was very satisfied. My friends and I are already talking about wanting to use this service again next time! There are so many courses available, and I’m looking forward to the next one. Thank you for this time! I appreciate it and look forward to next time☆

沖縄にいつも行きますが、バスツアーは初めての利用でした(^o^)運転手さんとガイドさんがとっても温かくいつも声掛けして頂き安心してツアーに参加できました。ガイドさんはとても優しくお人柄が良くて明るい方で良かったです!美ら海水族館に万座毛、琉球村に御菓子御殿、締めはバンタカフェと自分で車移動だときっと運転疲れしてダウンしちゃいますが、ゆったりとバスに揺られてあっという間でした。移動中の沖縄音楽も癒やされて本当に心地良かったです。確かに時間は限られていますが十分満足でした。友達と次回また利用したいね〜と話しています!コースもたくさんあるし次回も楽しみにしています。今回はありがとうございました!またよろしくお願いします☆

Unfortunately, it was rainy at Kouri Island and Manzamo, which was a bit disappointing. However, Manzamo really looked like an elephant's trunk, and it was interesting. The best part was American Village. It felt like experiencing a foreign atmosphere, and it was really great. The buildings were wonderful, like a different world.

Choosing the dinner plan with Sam's Steak was a good decision. They cooked the steak right in front of us, and it came with a performance, which was fun.

It became a great memory.

小宇利島と万座毛はあいにくの雨で、少し残念でした。でも万座毛は本当にゾウさんのお鼻にそっくりで、面白かったです。1番良かったのがアメリカンビレッジです。雰囲気が異国にいるみたいに体験できて凄く良かったです。別世界みたいで建物が凄く素敵でした。
サムズステーキの夕食付きプランを選んだのが良かったです。目の前でステーキを焼いてくれて、それもパフォーマンスつきで、面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。

In the middle of the typhoon, it was just windy, but suddenly there was heavy rain. Everyone didn't have an umbrella, but fortunately, there was an umbrella that was scheduled to be disposed of, and they lent it to everyone. It was a lifesaver. We were about to get completely soaked. I'm glad we had a quick and efficient tour guide. We were able to visit the major spots compactly.

台風の中、風だけだったのに突然大雨が。皆さん傘がなかったのですが、たまたま処分予定の傘があったと全員に貸してくれました。助かったです。ずぶ濡れになるところでしたしね。キビキビした添乗員さんで良かったです。
コンパクトにメジャーどころを回れました。

The announcements were made efficiently and thoroughly, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing smoothly at each stop. However, the itinerary was packed and had a tight schedule, so everything felt a bit rushed. It was sufficient as a highlights overview.

準備万端で手際良くアナウンスしてくださったので、どの立ち寄り場所でもスムーズに観光することができました。
ただ企画自体が盛りだくさんでタイトなスケジュールだったので、どこの観光も忙しかった…
様子見ダイジェストとしては十分でした。

I highly recommend this for those visiting Okinawa for the first time! There were certainly moments when time felt short, but it didn't mean I couldn't enjoy myself, and I thought it would be nice to revisit places that caught my interest. The guide was also very kind and took photos for us. I'm glad I participated!

はじめて沖縄に行く方にとってもおすすめです！確かに時間は短く感じる場面もありましたが、楽しめない訳では無く、気になった場所には再度行くのも良いなと思いました。ガイドさんもとても親切な方で、写真なども撮っていただきました。参加して良かったです！

I arrived at the meeting place 20 minutes early and asked the bus that was parked there. There were many tour buses from China and Korea, so we didn't depart for a while, and the bus for Celian was waiting at the back. When the time came, two young women in charge arrived and said that since there were only 10 participants today, we could sit wherever we liked on the bus, so we were able to relax.

We arrived at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium at 10:30, and the departure was at 13:00. It took about 10 minutes to walk from the bus to the entrance, and since the dolphin show was at 11:30, we went to see the whale sharks first. I wanted to take my time and see various things, but since time was limited, we headed towards the dolphin show, and suddenly there was a heavy downpour, so everyone was stuck. After a while, it didn't seem like it would stop, so we decided to go to the manatee pavilion. I wasn't sure if the dolphin show was still happening, but since I heard music, I went to check it out and found that the show had just started, so we were able to watch it from the front row.

We arrived at the Okashi Goten in about an hour and stayed for 20 minutes. There were many tourists, so I just bought a sweet potato tart and a sweet potato cream puff before returning to the bus. Since we couldn't eat on the bus and it was only a 5-minute drive to Manzamo, we enjoyed our snacks at the rest area after seeing Manzamo. The weather had cleared up at Manzamo, so the view was really beautiful.

At the next stop, Ryukyu Village, there happened to be a free guide, and participants received a small coin. It can be used as 100 yen, kept as a souvenir, or used on a future visit. The guide explained various things, which was educational.

They made sure we could make it in time for the Eisa performance. The Eisa was powerful and fun. Finally, we relaxed at Banta Cafe with some pineapple juice. We were the only participants with dinner included, but they had made a reservation for us at 19:30, so we were able to eat without waiting. At Sam's, they grilled meat right in front of us while performing. Finally, we were served a cream puff, and I was quite full.

Although we encountered a heavy downpour along the way, it was a very satisfying day. Thank you very much for your help. If I have the opportunity, I would love to participate again.

集合場所には20分前には到着していて停まっているバスに聞いたら中国や韓国の方のツアーのバスがたくさんでなかなか出発せずセリアンさんのは後ろで待機されていました。時間になると二人の若い女性の担当さんが来て今日は10人の参加なのでバスは好きな所にどうぞと言う事でゆっくり座れました。
楽しみにしていた美ら海水族館には10:30に着いたので出発は13:00でした。バスから入口まで約10分かかりイルカショーは11:30だったので先にジンベイザメを見に行きました。ゆっくり色々見たかったけど、時間が限られていたのでイルカショーに向かったら突然の土砂降りで皆さん動けずにいました。しばらくたってもやみそうになくせっかくなのでマナティー館に行きました。イルカショーはあるかどうかわかりませんでしたが音楽か聞こえてきたから行ってみるとショーが始まったばかりで一番前で見ることができました。
御菓子御殿までは１時間位で着き滞在は20分で観光客がたくさんいて、とりあえず紅芋生タルトと紅芋シュークリームだけ購入しバスに戻りました。車内で食べれなかったので次の万座毛まで５分だったので万座毛を見てから休憩所でいただきました。万座毛では天気が回復していたので景色はすごく良かったです。
次の琉球村は無料のガイドさんがたまたまいて参加者には小判をいただきました。100円としても使えるし記念に持って帰っても良いし次に来た時に使っても良いとの事でした。色々説明してくれたので勉強になりました。
エイサーの開演に間に合うように回ってくれました。
エイサーも迫力があり楽しかったです。
最後にバンタカフェでパインジュースを飲みゆっくりできました。参加者でディナー付きは私達だけでしたが予約も19:30にとってくれていたので待ち時間なく食事ができました。サムズでは目の前でパフォーマンスをしながら肉等を焼いてくれました。最後にシューアイスが出てきました。かなりおなかいっぱいになりました。
途中で土砂降りには遭いましたが大満足の１日でした。
大変お世話になりました。機会があればまた参加させていただきますね。

It was very convenient since I didn't have a license. I was glad to be able to visit places that are hard to reach without a car through the tour. I will definitely use it again.

免許がなかったため、とても便利でした。
車がないと回れない場所をツアーで回れたのが良かったです。ぜひまた利用させていただきます。

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Kouri Island, so I used this bus tour since I didn't have a car. Most of the stops other than the Churaumi Aquarium were just for bathroom breaks. The same goes for Kouri Island… it was disappointing that we spent almost all our time just at the restroom. However, I was glad that I could visit the Churaumi Aquarium, which was my main goal.

By the way, there is a path leading to the beach at the back of the Churaumi Aquarium, and the sea there was the most beautiful. It seemed to be a lesser-known spot, so there were hardly any people, which was nice. It's a recommended place to enjoy the stunning sea view.

Also, eating was prohibited on the bus, including snacks. We were allowed to drink beverages for hydration. I felt like snacking since it felt like a field trip, but I guess it’s necessary to keep the bus clean. Thank you.

美ら海水族館と古宇利島に行きたくて、車がないためこちらのバスツアーを利用しました。
美ら海水族館以外の停車場所は、ほぼトイレ休憩のための時間でした。古宇利島もしかり…トイレだけでほぼ終わり残念でした。
しかし、一番の目的だった美ら海水族館には行けたのでよかったです。
ちなみに、美ら海水族館の奥の方に海辺に行ける道があり、そこの海が一番綺麗でした。あまり知られてない場所なのか、人がほぼいなくてよかったです。美しい海を眺めるのにオススメの場所です。
あと、
バス内はお菓子等も含め、食事禁止でした。水分補給のための飲料は飲んでよかったです。つい遠足気分で食べたくなりましたが、バス内を綺麗に保つためには必要なのかな。
ありがとうございました。

The entire itinerary is quite packed, and the scenery visible from the bus is also very nice. It's perfect for those who don't want to rent a car or drive for a day trip to the northern area. However, the time at the aquarium is a bit tight. The buffet restaurant outside the aquarium has average food, but the view is particularly good. If you choose to eat at the restaurant, you might not have enough time to visit the dolphin exhibit, the water buffalo exhibit, and the sea turtle exhibit. The meeting point is at the bus parking lot, which takes about 10 to 20 minutes to walk to from the aquarium. Therefore, for those who want to thoroughly explore the aquarium, it's recommended to bring some snacks or drinks, or there are places selling hot dogs and other snacks at the aquarium exit.

The last stop, American Village, allows you to break away from the group. The allotted time is not enough if you want to explore properly. The sunset at American Village is also beautiful, and I highly recommend checking it out. On Saturday nights, there’s a 3-minute fireworks show as well.

整个行程安排得挺紧凑的，车上能看到的风景也很好
很适合不包车或者不驾车的人来北部一日游
就是水族馆的时间还蛮紧张的，水族馆外面的自助餐厅味道一般但是风景特别好，就是如果在餐厅吃饭的话，最后的海豚馆水牛馆和海龟馆就会来不及逛，集合点是バス停车场，从水族馆走过去需要十几二十分钟，所以想好好游览水族馆的人建议就自己带点吃的或者水族馆出口有一点卖热狗之类小吃的地方
最后一站美国村可以自行脱团，预留的时间如果想好好逛是不够的，美国村的日落夕阳也很好看蛮建议大家去看一下，周六晚上还有3分钟的烟花表演
