All Reviews for 沖繩活動

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.

Unfortunately, I was unable to see any whales, and since it was the end of the year, there was no refund available.

Well, that was within my expectations, so it’s fine, but when I tried to use the re-boarding ticket I received to try again in March, I was told, "You only have one re-boarding ticket, so please pay the rest in cash."

If that’s the case, I wish they had told me to get enough re-boarding tickets for everyone at the end of the last trip.

残念ながらクジラは見ることはかなわず、また年末であったため返金もありませんでした。

まあそれは想定内だったので構わないのですが、再乗船券を頂いたので、3月にチャレンジしようとしたところ、"再乗船券が1枚しかないので残りは現金で支払ってください"と言われました。

それであれば、前回の終了時に人数分再乗船券を取るように言って欲しかったです。

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.

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 was able to see parent and baby whales and jumping scenes!! I experienced a bit of seasickness, but it was an emotional experience tour.

親子のクジラやジャンプシーンも見ることが出来ました！！少々船酔いしましたが、感動の体験ツアーでした。

Beautiful coral and gracefully swimming fish.
The clarity of the sea varies with the weather, but you can see the underwater scenery that is usually not visible without getting wet.

綺麗なサンゴと優雅に泳ぐ魚たち。
天候により海の透明度が異なりますが、普段見られない海の様子が濡れずに見られます。

Since we went to Okinawa with a 3 year old and little baby we couldn't do any marine sports, but we found this instead. I was a bit nervous going alone with my kids, but the staff were really kind and I was relieved. We could see the fish swimming just outside in the sea so my kids and I loved it. I also felt the lunch was worth it. There's not much around, so I was glad I reserved.

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！

I heard that you couldn't see it the day before, but I was able to see it when I boarded. Also, the guide and captain did a great job searching, and we were able to see it multiple times, which was fantastic.

前日は見れなかったと言っていたが、私が乗った時には見れました。
また、ガイド＆船長が良く探して何度も見ることが出来て大変良かったです。

I have been whale watching both domestically and internationally, but this time felt like a miss. Whales are part of nature, so it's understandable. The mother and calf were nice to see. The boat's equipment was average. The crew was young, and I thought their explanations for the international guests were good, but I felt something was lacking. I would have liked more information about the whales, such as being able to hear their calls before we spotted them. For the next time, maybe I'll try a different boat?

今まで、国内外含め、ホエールウォッチングしてますが、今回はハズレって感じ。
クジラは、自然のものなので仕方ない。親子連れは良かった。船の装備は普通。
クルーが、若く、海外の方への説明などは、良かったと思うのですが、何かもの足りなさを感じました。クジラの説明とか、出るまでのクジラの声を聞けるとか、もう少し欲しかったと思います。次回の参加は、別の船⁈

I could clearly see it! The sight of a whale! We started from Chatan Port on a cruiser with about 25 people, and the boat was going quite fast. There were already about eight other whale-watching boats around. After about 20 minutes, a whale appeared near the boat, breathing and diving, and we saw its tail right in front of us. I was very busy taking photos and videos. (laughs) It was an incredibly fun experience.

はっきり見えた！クジラの姿！北谷港よりクルーザーで２５人位の乗船でスタートかなりの船のスピードです。もう他のクジラウォッチングの船も８隻ほど来ていました。２０分ほどで船の近くにクジラが現れ息して潜り、目の前に尾びれです。カメラ・ビデオ撮影に大忙しでした。(笑)すごく楽しい体験でした。

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。

I tried this on January 3rd. I was nervous it would be cold, but with the wetsuits I wasn't cold at all. I've been snorkeling in Hawaii before, but I felt the water was clearer and there were more fish in Okinawa. The staff were really kind, so even if you can't swim, it will be fine.

I experienced it on January 3rd. I was worried it would be cold, but I wasn't cold because I wore a wetsuit. I have tried snorkeling in Hawaii, but I was impressed that there were more beautiful fish in Okinawa. The staff were kind, and it's okay even if you can't swim.

１／３に体験しました。寒いかと不安でしたがウエットスーツを着用しているので寒くなかったです。ハワイでシューノーケルは体験しましたが沖縄の方がきれいな魚が多くて感動しました。スタッフのかたも親切で泳げなくても大丈夫です。

Since we were traveling to Okinawa with a 3-year-old and a 0-year-old baby, we couldn't do any marine sports, so we found this place. I was a bit anxious going without my husband, but the staff were kind and I felt reassured participating.

We were able to see the fish in the water just as they are, and both my child and I were very excited. I think the lunch is a good value for the price. There isn't much around the area, so I'm glad we made a reservation.

3歳児を0歳の赤ん坊と一緒の沖縄旅行なので、マリンスポーツができず、こちらを見つけました。主人なしで行ったので不安でしたが、スタッフの方も親切で安心して参加できました。
海の中にいるそのままの魚を見ることができて、私も子どもも大興奮でした。
ランチはこの金額からしたらお値打ちだと思います。周辺は特になにもないので、予約しておいてよかったです。

They will inform you of the visibility and the level of boat sway on a scale of 1 to 5 just before boarding. On the day I boarded, I was disappointed to hear that the visibility was rated as "second from the bottom," but once we reached the viewing point, I was able to see a decent amount of fish and coral, so it turned out well. Since you're dealing with nature, luck on the day is important. It's a short cruise of about an hour, so I recommend checking the weather and wave forecasts before participating.

当日の透明度と船の揺れ具合を5段階評価で乗船の直前に教えてくれます。
私が乗船した当日、「透明度が下から２つ目」と聞いた時はガックリしましたが、鑑賞ポイントに着くとそれなりに魚と珊瑚が見れたので良かったです。
自然が相手なので、その日の運も大事です。1時間ほどと短いクルーズなので天気や波の予報調べて参加する事をお勧めします。

On the day of the trip, it was somewhat cloudy, and I was informed in advance that visibility might not be very good, so I boarded the ship with that in mind. However, there were so many announcements about tourist spots and scenery that I hardly had time to feel the ship's sway. We stopped in a spot where we could easily see the fish, and the detailed explanations made for a fun experience. I was truly impressed by the professionalism. We even had lunch, creating another wonderful memory of Okinawa.

当日は曇り気味で見え方も余りよくないと事前に説明があり、心して乗船しました。しかし船の揺れも感じる暇がない ほど、観光スポットや風景のアナウンスがあり最高
魚が見えやすい場所で停泊し丁寧な説明で楽しく過ごせました。さすがプロだな〜と感激でしたね。ランチまでして沖縄の思い出がまた一つ重ねる事ができました。

I was worried because the weather had been bad until the day before. However, on the day itself, there were some waves, but the weather improved, which was great. The sun was hidden by clouds just before it sank below the horizon, but I was able to see a beautiful sunset. I also got to hear some fun stories, and now I want to try the night tour next time.

前日まで天気が悪かったので不安でした。
でも当日は少し波はありましたが、天気も回復して良かったです。
水平線に沈む寸前に雲に隠れてしまいましたが、きれいな夕日が見れました。
楽しいお話も聞けたし、 今度はナイトツアーも体験してみたいと思いました。

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。

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.

Before boarding, the staff provided a detailed explanation about the ship's movement and the sea's transparency for the day. We were informed that the sea's transparency level was below standard and murky on the day we were to board. The transparency can change depending on wave conditions and weather, so it seems to depend on luck that day. The ship anchored a little offshore, and the sea bottom watching began. While we could see fish swimming, the low transparency made it difficult to take clear photos, which was quite disappointing as we returned to the port.

At the buffet at Nest Hotel Naha, our seats were already prepared when we arrived at the restaurant, so we could enter without waiting. There was a wide variety of dishes, and the taste was excellent; everything was very delicious. The freshly fried tempura was the most popular item.

乗船前に係員から当日の船の揺れ具合や海の透明度について詳しい説明があります。
私たちが乗船する日の海の透明度はレベルで標準よりも下で濁っているとの案内でした。透明度は波の状態や天候により変わるのでその日の運次第かと思います。船は少し沖へ出た所で停泊、海底ウォッチングの始まりとなりましたが、魚たちが泳いでいるのは見えましたが透明度が浅くて写真を撮っても綺麗には写りませんでした。とても残念な思いで港に戻りました。
「ネストホテル那覇」のバイキングはレストランに到着すると既に席が用意されており、待たずに中へ入れました。料理の種類もかなり豊富で味もよく大変おいしかったです。揚げたての天ぷらが一番の人気でした。

I was worried about whether I could really make a Shisa from a round lump of clay, but thanks to the thorough lecture, even someone like me without artistic sense was able to create a decent (?) Shisa! They will fire it in a kiln, and it will arrive at my home in a month and a half, so it feels like I'm waiting for a Christmas present, and I'm excited (laughs). If you go to Okinawa, I definitely recommend trying "authentic Shisa making"!

丸い粘土の塊りから、シーサー１体を本当に作ることが出来るのか不安でしたが、
丁寧なレクチャーがあるため、芸術センスの無い私でも立派（？）なシーサーを作ることが
出来ました！窯で焼きあげて頂き、自宅に届くのは１か月半後との事ですが、
クリスマスプレゼントが届くようで、ドキドキしています（笑）
沖縄に行ったら、「本格シーサー作り」是非トライしてみて欲しいです。

The annual staff trip was held this year in Okinawa. Although the weather was unfortunate, it was much warmer every day compared to our hometown, Asahikawa. On the last night in Okinawa, we enjoyed a sunset dinner cruise with wonderful music and delicious food. At the end, there was a surprise Happy Birthday song! (One of the staff members had a birthday.) It turned out to be a lovely birthday gift thanks to the thoughtful arrangement.

毎年恒例の職員旅行。今年は沖縄でした。
あいにくの天候でしたが、地元の旭川と比べるととても暖かい毎日でした。
沖縄最後の夜は、サンセットディナークルーズ。素敵な音楽に美味しい食事。
最後にはサプライズのHappy Birthday Song!!(職員が誕生日でした）
粋なはからいで素敵な誕生日プレゼントになりました。

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！

The sunset wasn't very clear due to the weather, so I couldn't see it well. Although it's called a cruise, it felt more like just moving around the harbor, and I wouldn't really call it a cruise. Because of that, I couldn't see much of the night view, and the scenery was repetitive, so it wasn't great. It felt more like the live performance was the main attraction.

サンセットは天気がいまいちだったのでハッキリ見えなかったけど、クルーズと言う割には港内を移動しているだけでクルーズとまで行かないと思う。その分夜景もあまり見えないし、同じ景色ばかりで眺めは良く無かったです。
なので、ライブがメインだったような感じです。
