All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

My child wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I made a reservation. However, I thought it might be a long journey just to go there, which could be tiring for my child (since we have a 2-year-old), so we joined this tour that allows for various stops along the way.

At the Nago Pineapple Park, there were many dinosaur models. It was impressive, and my child was very excited! Of course, the pineapples were also exquisite. After that, we stopped by the beach, where we could collect seashells, and it turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected.

Additionally, the bus guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and they even performed a song along the way, which was quite skillful. I felt like I got my money's worth.

As for the main aquarium, there was a distance from the tourist bus drop-off to the entrance, which took time for my child to walk. Including the time spent waiting for tickets near the entrance, it took about 30 minutes (round trip). Unfortunately, the free time we had at the aquarium was not a full 150 minutes, which was a bit disappointing.

子供が美ら海水族館に行きたいと言うので、予約しました。
ただ、そこだけとなると、道中長くて、子供がしんどいかな？と思い(2歳もいるので)、色々立ち寄れる、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
途中の名護パイナップルパークでは、恐竜の模型がたくさん。迫力もあり、子供は大興奮！もちろんパイナップルも絶品でした。
それからビーチに立ち寄り、貝殻拾いなどもできて、予想以上に楽しめました。
また、バスガイドさんの解説も大変わかりやすく、途中で唄を披露下さいましたが、お上手なこと。得した気分になりました。
メインの水族館ですが、観光バスの降り場から入口まで距離があり、子供の足では時間かかりました。また、入口付近でチケットを待つ時間等を含めると、約30分程は時間がかかりました(往復です)。水族館での自由時間が、正味150分ではなかったので、そこだけが残念でした。

I applied to visit the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. I didn't have high expectations for Nago Pineapple Park, but the leisurely ride on the cart around the park was enjoyable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the flowers, butterflies, and dinosaurs in the park.

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has three hours, so if you're just visiting the aquarium, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy it. We had tacos from a food truck for lunch, which gave us some extra time, but if you use a restaurant, you might need to be mindful of the time. Also, since the park is large, you'll need to plan your time and route for visiting other facilities besides the aquarium.

The sea at Kouri Island was incredibly beautiful and moving, and although we couldn't see the sunset at Manzamo due to the clouds, we enjoyed it without getting caught in the rain.

We were efficiently taken to the highlights, and the tour guide's stories were interesting, making it a very good trip.

美ら海水族館に行きたくて申し込みました。
名護パイナップルパークはそんなに期待していませんでしたが、カートに乗っての園内巡りはのんびりとして良かったし、園内もお花や蝶や恐竜がいて思いの外、楽しめました。
美ら海水族館は3時間あるので水族館だけなら十分堪能できます。お昼ご飯は私たちはキッチンカーでタコスを食べたので時間に余裕がありましたが、レストランなど利用されると、時間を気にしつつの行動になるかもしれません。また園内が広いので、水族館以外の施設を回るのは時間配分や周り方の検討が必要です。
古宇利島の海もとてもきれいで感動しましたし、万座毛は曇って夕日は見られませんでしたが雨に降られる事なく楽しめました。
効率よく見どころに連れていってもらえ、添乗員さんのお話も面白く、とても良い旅となりました。

It was a group with many foreigners, but Kim was a very skilled guide. The explanations were kind, thank you very much.

外国人の方が多いグループでしたがキムさんがとても上手にガイドしてくださいました。説明も親切でした、ありがとうございました。

My friend, who visited Okinawa for the first time, also enjoyed the Okinawa Royal Course. It seems to be a popular course as it was fully booked even on a weekday. I wish we could have extended our return by 30 minutes to have an extra 5 or 10 minutes at each sightseeing spot.

沖縄王道コースで初沖縄の友人も楽しんでいました。平日でも満席だったので人気のコースのようです。30分帰りを遅くして各所の観光時間を5分でも10分でも長くできたらなと思いました。

The weather was great, and I was able to fully enjoy the Okinawa experience, making it an incredibly satisfying tour from start to finish. Since it was my first time in Okinawa, I was able to create many memories, so I'm really glad I participated! Thank you very much!

天候もよく、沖縄感をしっかり満喫できて終始大満足なツアーとなりました。
初めての沖縄でたくさんの思い出も作れたので、参加できて本当によかったです！
ありがとうございました

Thank you for your attentive service and commitment to safety.
Thanks to the well-planned schedule, I was able to enjoy various sightseeing spots.
There are places I liked that I would like to visit again slowly next time.
I was a bit anxious about the many buses at the meeting point in front of the prefectural office, but since I was informed about the bus designs in advance, I didn't get lost.
At the aquarium, you can enjoy the elegant swimming of the dolphins from the side window of their waiting tank all to yourself.

丁寧な接客と安全第一に気を付けていただき有難う御座います。
絶妙な時間割により色々な観光地を満喫できました。
気に入った場所は、次回にゆっくり訪問したいと思います。
集合場所の県庁前にバスが沢山あり不安でしたが、バスの模様を事前に教えていただいていたので迷わなくてすみました。
水族館では、イルカの待機水槽の横窓から優雅に泳ぐ姿を独り占めできます。

We participated with one adult and three children. Since it was an unfamiliar tourist destination, the bus tour was great because it took us to the destination... We could even sleep during the ride, which was really nice.

大人1人、子供３人での参加でした。知らない観光地なので、バスツアーでが、目的地まで連れて行ってくれるし…移動中は、寝てても良いし、すごく良かったです。

I was a bit anxious about renting a car, so I decided to go with a bus tour. The course I wanted was great, and the tour guide was good as well. The time allocated for the Churaumi Aquarium was well-planned, but the time at Kouri Island and Manza Beach was short, so I would have liked to take it a bit slower. However, I think it's understandable given how much we covered, so I believe it's very good for those who want to see a lot of places. I would like to participate in a different course next time as well.

レンタカーでは何かと不安だったのでバスツアーに決めました。
行きたいコースで添乗員の方も良かったです。
美ら海水族館の時間配分は良かったですが、その後の古宇利島、万座毛の時間が短かったのでもっとゆっくりしたかったです。でもこれだけ回るには仕方ないかなとは思うのでいろいろ行きたい人にはとても良いと思います。
また、違うコースでも参加してみたいと思います。

I heard that securing rental cars has been difficult since the COVID-19 pandemic. I was wondering what to do since I wanted to cross the Kouri Bridge, and then I found this tour. It was more efficient than going around on our own, and we were able to enjoy visiting various places.

コロナ禍以降レンタカーの確保が難しいと伺いました。今回古宇利大橋を渡りたいと思っていたのでどうしようか悩んでいたところこのツアーを見つける事が出来ました。自分達で回るよりも効率よく色々な場所に連れて行ってもらい楽しむことが出来ました。

I searched for a tour that could take me to the northernmost part, which is difficult to access individually, and I applied for this one. It was great that we could efficiently cover the area.

Since the hotel I was staying at was far from the meeting point, I had called a taxi for the morning, but unfortunately, it was forgotten for my individual booking, and I almost missed it! I hurriedly called the contact number for assistance, and it turned out that I could catch up by taking a bus partway. I managed to make it just in time! I'm glad my family trip wasn't ruined. I'm grateful to the kind tour guide and driver!

Later, when I asked the tour guide, I learned that if I had requested directly from the tour company from the beginning, I could have specified a meeting point closer to my hotel.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour itself, but it seems that the raw fish lunch didn't sit well with me, and I felt a bit unwell afterward. Normally, I don't have such issues and am usually quite sturdy. That was a bit disappointing.

個人ではなかなか行きにくい最北部に行けるツアーを探してこちらを申込しました。効率的に回れて良かったです。
宿泊しているホテルが集合場所から離れていたので朝タクシーを呼んでいたのが、なんと個人のため忘れられて間に合わないという事態に！あわてて連絡先に電話して対応相談、通り道途中までバスで行けば合流できそうということで何とか間に合いました！家族旅行の計画が台無しにならず良かったです。親切な添乗員さんと運転手さんに感謝！
後で添乗員さんにきいたら、最初からツアー会社に直接依頼すれば、ホテルから近いその合流場所を指定することもできたみたいでした。
また、ツアーそのものは満足度高かったですが、生魚の昼食が体に合わなかったようで、その後ちょっと体調をくずしました。普段は余りそんなこともなく丈夫なはずなのに。それがちょっと残念でした。

On the first day, the dinner at the Churaumi Aquarium tour was just like the scene from the TV show "Chimudondon," as all the guests danced the Kachashi.

１日目は美ら海水族館観光コースの夕食のあんがまはみんなお客さんがカチャーシーを踊るのでちむどんどんのTVのまんまでした。

It was very good.
There were explanations about the Okinawa region during the travel, so I wasn't bored.
I wanted more time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, so I would like to participate again if there is a tour focused specifically on the Churaumi Aquarium.
Considering transportation costs and transfers to get to the Churaumi Aquarium, I think participating in a tour is the best option, so I believe there is demand for it...
Please consider this.

とても良かったです。
移動中も沖縄の地域の説明などがあり退屈しませんでした。
美ら海水族館の時間がもっと欲しかったので行き先を絞った美ら海水族館に特化したツアーがあればまた参加したいです。
美ら海水族館に行くには、交通費や乗り継ぎの事を考えるとツアーに参加するのが最適だと思うので需要はあると思うんですが…
是非ご検討ください。

It was a very fulfilling one-day tour. I was able to visit all the places I wanted to see: Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, Manzamo, Okashi Goten, and American Village, so it was great to see them all in one day. The timing of the announcements for each location was also well understood.
If possible, I think it would be nice to have 180 minutes at Churaumi Aquarium since it is large and requires some movement from the parking lot.

とても充実した一日ツアーでした。美ら海水族館、古宇利島、万座毛、御菓子御殿、アメリカンビレッジと行きたかった所だったので、１日で見れてとてめ良かったです。放送で流れる、各地の案内のタイミングも良く理解できました。
できたら美ら海水族館は広くて駐車場からの移動もあるので180分あると良いなと思いました。

On my first trip to Okinawa, I signed up for a bus tour since I didn't have a driver's license, and it was great to visit various places in one day. However, perhaps I was too greedy, as the stay time at each location was short, which seemed a bit too busy for my 69-year-old mother. It might be more suitable for younger people. There were also several participants who were traveling alone, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

During the tour, I particularly liked the aquarium and Kouri Island. The bus played music from a music box, and at various points, there were automated announcements in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English explaining the sights we were passing, which helped me learn a bit more about Okinawa.

At one point, I felt frustrated with some people who didn't keep track of the return time, which I think was a misunderstanding of the schedule. Even though it was a trip, I would have preferred if everyone could adhere to the time so we could enjoy the experience more comfortably. (There were also automated announcements regarding such reminders.)

初めての沖縄旅行で、免許が無いのでバスツアーを申し込み、沖縄の各地を１日で巡れて良かったです。
ただ、欲張り過ぎてるのか、１箇所あたりの滞在時間が短く、69歳の母には忙し過ぎた様です。
若い子向きかもしれません。
お一人で参加されてる方も何人もいらっしゃり、楽しまれていたように思います。
コース中では水族館と古宇利島が好きでした。
車内はオルゴールの音楽がかかっており、要所要所で日本語、中国語、韓国語、英語の順で向かってる途中に見える事柄について自動音声？の説明が流れるので、沖縄知識がちょっと増えたかと。
途中、時間を勘違いをしたのか、戻る時間を守らない人達に不満を感じ、旅行とはいえそこは守っていただいて気持ちよく過ごしたかったです。(そういう注意事項の自動音声アナウンスもありました)

I didn't drive, so I was taken to various places. The content was good too. It was really helpful that they took care of my luggage.

運転しないので色々連れて行ってもらえた。
内容も良かったです。
荷物も預かってもらえて本当に助かりました

I think it's good for family and romantic outings. However, instead of spending time at the aquarium, I believe you would be more satisfied by increasing your time at American Village for shopping and dining. Aquariums are all pretty similar, and the dining options are just ordinary buffets. It's just expensive. If you're going to pay the same price, you might as well enjoy a hearty hamburger or American cuisine.

家族、恋人とかの観光なら良いと思います。　けど水族館に時間使うよりアメリカンビレッジに時間を増やせば買い物、食事が満足出来ると思う。　水族館なんて似たり寄ったりで食事もありふれたバイキング。高いだけ。　同じ値段払うならボリューム有るハンバーガーとかアメリカンの料理を楽しみ。

On the first day, it was a bit rushed, but I'm glad we were able to visit various places. The guide was recorded, but it was helpful.

1日、駆け足でしたが
色々まわれてよかったです。
ガイドは、録音されたものですが
参考になりました。

I was alone, but I was very satisfied! It was really helpful to have the aquarium tickets included, as I didn't have to worry about checking the bus and Yui Rail schedules or looking for parking.

1人でしたが、満足出来ました！
バスゆいレールの時間などを調べたり、車のパーキングを探したりなどの手間もなく水族館のチケット付きは凄く助かりました！

I would like the guide's stories to be more positive, and I would prefer to reduce the number of destinations and extend the stay at one location.

ガイドさんのお話がポジティブな話に
してほしいのと、目的地を減らして、
1カ所の滞在時間を長くしてほしい。

Since I had extra time than planned, I made a reservation the day before and participated alone. I recommend this for those without transportation who want to visit the main tourist attractions on the island.

Regarding the Churaumi Aquarium, I felt the time allocation was satisfactory, but for those who want to have a proper lunch or take their time exploring the exhibits, it might not be enough. You can see the dolphin show!

In my personal opinion, instead of ending at American Village, it might be nice to change the location to a place where you can enjoy the sunset and take beautiful photos.

予定より滞在時間が余ったため、前日に予約して1人で参加しました。足が無い人で、本島の観光名所をとりあえず回りたい人にはおすすめです。
美ら海水族館については、私は満足な時間配分だと思いましたが、昼食をしっかり取ったり、館内をじっくり見たい人には足りないかもしれません。イルカのショーは見れます！
個人的な意見ですが、最後はアメリカンビレッジではなく、夕日が落ちるまでじっくり見れる場所に変更しても綺麗な写真が取れて良いのではないかと思いました。

Whenever I come to Okinawa, I usually choose to rent a car, but this time the bus tour was perfect for visiting the highlights in just the right amount of time. The guide was very pleasant, and it turned out to be a fun day. Thank you very much. I will choose a bus tour for my next visit to Okinawa as well.

いつも沖縄に来るとレンタカー一択でしたが、この度のバスツアーは見どころをちょうど良い時間で回って下さり、ガイドさんもとても感じ良く楽しい1日となりました。
ありがとうございます。
次回の沖縄もバスツアーにさせて頂きます。

I would like to come.
I thought that Churaumi Aquarium would take a full day.
Next time, I would like to stay in places like Chatan instead of Naha city.

来てみたいと思います。
美ら水族館は、1日必要だと思いました。
今度は那覇市内だはなく、北谷などに滞在したいと思いました。

I was able to visit the famous spots in just one day, and it turned out to be a fulfilling day! The tour guide's thoughtfulness warmed my heart! I traveled alone, but I'm glad I used this service.

1日で名所を回れ、充実した1日になりました！添乗員さんのお気遣いに心が温かくなりました！1人旅だったのですが利用してよかったです。

First of all, the tour itself was good. We were able to visit various places by bus in one day, which was convenient. However, the female guide was disappointing.

The first issue was when we arrived at each location. At first, it was manageable, but as the tour progressed, perhaps due to time constraints, she would rush ahead to the entrance, leaving the tour group behind, and wave from a distance saying, "This way!" Everyone was desperately trying to find the guide who had disappeared. I felt this only added to the time we spent searching for her.

The second issue was the obvious difference in how she treated people. She openly displayed her preferences. She was overly friendly and polite to foreign tourists, while she treated us Japanese tourists with indifference and gave curt responses. It's natural for anyone to have likes and dislikes, but I wished she would treat everyone equally in her professional role.

I believe she may not be aware of this, so I wanted to share my thoughts. It may seem like a minor issue, but I think it's important to make the most of our limited time during our trip. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad taste, but I would like to participate in a tour again, so I hope for improvements.

最初に。ツアーそのものは良かったです。バスで1日色んなところを周れたし、楽チンでした。
ただ、ガイドの女性が残念な感じでした。
一つ目は、各施設に着いた時。最初の方はまだマシだったけど、後半になってくると時間に余裕がなくなってきたのか、ツアー客置いてけぼりでさっさと一人で入場口まで行き、遠くの方から『ここですよ〜』と手を振ってる始末。皆、何処に行ったかわからんガイドを必死で探してました。これでは余計に時間が掛かってた様に思います。
二つ目は、明らかなる人に対しての対応の違い。自分の好き嫌いを分かりやすく表に出しておられました。特に外国人には凄く愛想よく親切過ぎるくらい丁寧な対応で、私達日本人観光客には適当な対応で、無愛想な受け答えをされてた人も他に見かけました。人間誰しも好き嫌いがあってもおかしくはないけど、仕事として皆平等に接して欲しかったです。
だぶん、自分ではお気付きではないのだと思いますので、この投稿をさせて頂きました。些細な事かも知れませんが、限られた日数、限られた時間いかに有意義に過ごすかは大切なことだと思います。今回は残念ながらあと味悪い旅行になりましたが、また是非ツアー参加したいと思いますので改善宜しくお願い致します。

Churaumi Aquarium: 2 hours 30 minutes
American Village: 60 minutes
Others: 20 minutes

Although it will be a quick tour, you can visit a wide range of attractions. I highly recommend it!

美ら海水族館　2時間30分
アメリカンビレッジ　60分
その他　 20分

駆け足の観光にはなりますが
広く観光地を巡れます
とてもオススメです

I participated with my sister who came to visit from abroad. It was very enjoyable, but there was one unfortunate thing. After getting off the bus, there was quite a distance to the aquarium, and it was so large that we got lost. It would be helpful if the bus could stop a little closer. If that's not possible, I would appreciate it if the guide could lead us to the entrance.

The guide informed us of the meeting times each time, but since we are older, I thought it would be nice if they could provide a handout to avoid any misunderstandings or worries about forgetting.

海外から遊びに来た姉との参加です。
とても楽しかったのですが、残念なことが。
バスを降りてから水族館まで距離があるのですが、広すぎて道に迷ってしまいました。
もう少し近くに停めていただけると助かるのですが。無理でしたら、入り口までガイドさんが案内して下さるとありがたいなぁと感じました。
集合時間は、その都度ガイドさんからお知らせがありましたが、年齢が高いので配布していただけると勘違いや忘れてしまう心配も無いかな、と思いました。

I went to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium on a bus tour with Veltra. The admission tickets were already arranged, so we were able to enter smoothly.

For lunch, we were on our own, so I enjoyed a meal at the restaurant inside the aquarium. The paid seats were next to the aquarium tanks, but I chose a free seat where I could see the entire tank.

This year, I will be taking my children with me.

Veltraのバスツアーで「美ら海水族館」に行ってきました。
入場券も手配済みでスムーズに入館できました。

ランチは、各自で取ることになっていたので、水族館の中のレストランで楽しみました。有料席は、水槽の側でしたが、水槽の全体から見える無料席にしました。

今年は、子供を連れて行ってきます。

Since it was my first time in Okinawa, considering the hassle of renting a car and driving, I think it was a pretty good deal for a tour that allowed us to visit various places and included the aquarium admission!

初沖縄だったので、レンタカーを借りる手間と運転を考えたら、色々回れて、水族館代も含まれていて、結構お得なツアーだったと思います！

Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, and Manzamo were all places I wanted to visit, so I was satisfied to see them all! I would have liked to take my time at a few more places, but I enjoyed the key spots! Okinawa is beautiful everywhere, the weather was great, and it was wonderful. The staff were polite, refreshing, and lovely. I would like to use this service again!

美ら海水族館、古宇利島、万座毛、どこも行きたかったところなので、全部開けて満足です！
もう少しどこもゆっくりじっくり回りたいところもありましたが、要所要所は楽しめました！
沖縄はどこも美しく、お天気も良く、最高でした。
スタッフの方も丁寧で爽やかで素敵でした。
また利用させていただきたいです！

I didn't have a license, so I relied on this service this time, and it was great to be able to visit various places efficiently!

At the end, I wanted a bit more time at American Village, so I asked to be dropped off there!

However, since we were trying to visit many places in one day, it inevitably felt rushed, so it might feel a bit hurried for those who prefer to take their time...

免許がないので今回頼みまたしたが、効率的に色々回れてよかったです！

最後アメリカンビレッジはもう少し時間が欲しかったので、そこで降ろしてもらいました！

ただ、1日でいろんな箇所行く都合上どうしても駆け足になってしまうので、じっくり周り方には急足に感じてしまうかもです。。。
