All Reviews for 巴士之旅（バスツアー）

I would recommend this. It works out about the same as getting public transport and buying a ticket to the aquarium alone. It was a little rushed, I think the glass place and the pineapple place are a waste of time. The butterfly place was cool as was the dolphin show. The aquarium is amazing! A must see. Overall a good well organised day out.

I participated in the Kouri Island, Manza Beach, and Bise Fukugi Tree Road course during Golden Week. I chose this tour because the stay at the Churaumi Aquarium was long, but I would have appreciated a tour conducted only in Japanese if possible. On the bus back to Naha, there was a family showing Chinese cartoons to their child on a smartphone or tablet, and the volume was loud enough to be heard from the back seat. I really wished someone would have addressed that. I was very satisfied with the tour content and the guide, so it was a bit disappointing at the end.

古宇利島・万座毛・備瀬フクギ並木コース にＧＷに参加しました。美ら海水族館の滞在時間が長いのでこちらのツアーに決めましたが、出来れば日本語のみのツアーがあると嬉しいです。那覇に向かう帰りのバス内で子供にスマホかタブレットで中国語のアニメをみせている家族がいたのですが、後ろの席にまで聞こえる音量でした。さすがにこれは注意して欲しかったです。ツアー内容、ガイドさんに関してはとても満足のいくものだっただけに、最後にちょっと残念でした。

Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun! The guide and the driver were both nice, and it became a wonderful memory.

However, it was indeed written in the itinerary that "all-you-can-eat pineapple is included!" but it was not actually provided.

I went with my fiancé, and since we both love pineapple, we were really looking forward to the all-you-can-eat option.

So, I have some dissatisfaction... It was very disappointing.

美ら海水族館、とても楽しかったです！
ガイドさんも運転手さんもいい方で、素敵な想い出になりました。

ただ、旅程に確かに｢パイナップル食べ放題付いてます！｣と書いてあったのですが、実際はありませんでした。

婚約者と一緒に行ったのですが、パイナップルが大好きなので食べ放題をとても楽しみにしていました。

なので不満が残っています･･･
非常に残念でした

The Churaumi Aquarium bus tour and three other spots is a great value. Such a low price for an all day tour. You get lunch, a small bowl of Okinawa Soba, at the Butterfly Garden, the aquarium, pineapple park, and the glass factor. We were a group of six, and at the aquarium, five of us got lost. I followed the guide (I understand Japanese) but the others (all Chinese) failed to follow. When I went back to where I last saw them, they were gone! The guide was very helpful. She helped me look for them and found three (including my husband), but the other two were still missing. She went back to the bus and found the other two, brought them back to us. Reunited! The dolphin show was very entertaining but I was eager to see the whale sharks at the aquarium. They had three whale sharks and my husband took some great photos. The other exhibits were hard to see, so many people! Chinese tourists everywhere! We spent three hours at the aquarium and then it was back to the bus. Next stop, Pineapple park, sampled different juices and baked goods. Final stop, Ryukyu glass factory. The pieces are very pretty but pricey so we spent the short time there eating purple potato ice cream, very good, you have to try it when you come to Okinawa.
It took another two hours to get back to Naha and we asked to be dropped off at Kokusaidori. Since we're all in the service industry, and because she was so helpful, we tipped the guide. There were only two things I didn't like about this tour. First, it took 15 minutes for us to walk from our hotel (Rihga Royal Gran) to the pick up hotel (Loisir). 2nd, lunch was too smal. We all could've eaten two bowls of noodles. We were all so hungry, we had the buffet dinner on the top floor of the Ryubo department store! Still, we had a good time!

Had a great time on this bus tour however really wish we could have spent more time at each stop. I felt too rushed and couldn't enjoy the places as much as I would have liked. Definitely worth the price and will recommend to friends and family! A chunk of the trip was picking up and dropping off people to their hotels so the bus ride was very long but it was really convenient for us. Also you get free little gifts. We got a piece from the glass house and pineapple ice cream!

It was a 3-night, 4-day trip during the first half of Golden Week. I was late in making the reservation for a rental car, and it was already impossible to rent one anywhere, but I found this tour and everyone in the family had a great time without a car! 😊

GW前半で3泊4日の旅行でした。レンタカーの予約手配がおそくなり、もうどこも借りられない状態でしたが、こちらのツアーを見つけて、車なしで家族全員が楽しめました＼(^o^)／

Visit to the butterfly park was surprisingly wonderful but just about 15 minutes self tour would be really a deadly rush. Sufficient time to fool around the Churaumi Aquarium after the light lunch. Thumbs up ! Pineapple park tour was related products hard sell yet a good try. The last stop was merely a stop. After all, visit to the Churaumi Aquarium alone worth the value of the whole tour.

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful seas of Okinawa, such as Manza Beach and Kouri Island.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, I had three hours of free time and had a great time.

However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have enough time at Nago Pineapple Park.

Overall, I was able to enjoy the nature of Okinawa sufficiently.

万座毛や小宇利島など沖縄の美しい海を満喫できました。

美ら海水族館では、３時間のフリータイムもあり十分楽しめました。

ただナゴパイナップルパークでの滞在時間が足りなかったのは少し残念でした。

総合的に考えると十分沖縄の自然を楽しめました。

There were many foreign tourists on the tour. The pickup in the morning was late and past the scheduled time, so I contacted the tour company, but it was outside of business hours and went to voicemail. Other foreign tourists who were waiting seemed anxious as well. After arriving, the guide apologized for the delay due to traffic, but I hope it would be possible to get in touch even in the morning.

The tour content was great as we were able to visit all the places we wanted to go. The Churaumi Aquarium was also enjoyable.

外国人の方が多いツアーでした。朝の出発の迎えが遅く、指定時間を過ぎていたのでツアー会社に連絡しましたが営業時間外とのことで留守電でした。同じように待っていた外国人の方も不安そうにされていました。到着後、渋滞で遅くなったとガイドさんが謝られていましたが、朝でも連絡が取れるといいな、と思います。

ツアー内容は、行きたい所に全て行けたのでよかったです。 美ら海水族館も楽しかったです。

The first hour was spent on pickups at several locations around the hotel. Well, it couldn't be helped, but I was quite frustrated at first since I boarded from Kencho-mae. Especially since it was multilingual, most of the other passengers were Chinese and a few groups of Koreans. However, it seemed that many were used to traveling abroad, so there were no particularly bad manners, and I didn't have an unpleasant experience.

The tour itself was efficient, covering central Okinawa and the Churaumi Aquarium well. The bus had Wi-Fi, so it was nice to be able to check information online during the ride. Particularly at the Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time, so I was able to fully enjoy it. On the other hand, the Nago Pineapple Park was more disappointing than I expected. However, the pineapple ice cream recommended by the tour guide was really delicious.

朝の1時間はホテルを何か所がまわるピックアップに費やされました。まあ、仕方がないのですが、県庁前から乗車したので最初は結構イライラしました。とくに多言語対応でしたので、私たち以外はほとんどが中国人と数組の韓国人でした。まあ、海外旅行慣れしている方が多かったらしく、特にマナーが悪いということもなく不愉快な思いはしませんでした。
ツアー自体は内容や行程も沖縄中部や美ら海水族館を効率よく回ることができ、バスはwifiもあるので移動中はネットで情報を確認したりできてよかったです。特に美ら海水族館ではたっぷり時間をとっていただいてあったので十分満喫できました。反対に、ナゴパイナップルパークは予想以上にちゃちなものでがっかりでした。ただし、添乗員さんお勧めのパイナップルアイスは本当においしかったです。

The tour was a bit of a rush.

For the butterflies, we had to eat our Okinawa Soba very fast to get some time to enjoy them. No guide or signs to guide you, it was hard to know where to go.
The Aquarium was really nice, there was enough time to enjoy it.

The Pineapple Park visit was really disappointing : we had a 5 minutes tour in Japanese to end up in the park's shop. We saw basically nothing of the park, the point here was to buy stuff.

The Ryukyu Mura was a bit more interesting, but the point here was also to buy things (Okinawa Glass).

The tour is really made and thought for Japanese tourists, a pamphlet in English explaining in detail the program would have been nice and helpful, as well as a guide who could speak a bit of English.

This tour is useful to go to the Aquarium, but aside from that, not interesting at all for non-Japanese speaking tourists.

The bus was on schedule. The tour price was reasonable. The tour guide and driver were courteous. My family spent a whole day enjoying the world’s best - Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Thank you.

It was cloudy with occasional light rain, and the weather wasn't very favorable, but we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. It would have been perfect if the aquarium visit had been 30 minutes longer. The guide was very cheerful and fun, which was great!

曇り時々小雨、夕方から晴れと天候にはあまり恵まれませんでしたが、素敵な景色が楽しめました。水族館の時間があと30分長ければベストでした。ガイドの方がとても明るくて楽しい方で良かったです‼︎

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.

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！

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 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.

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！
