Okinawa Main Island
Great tour! Would definitely recommend this package as it had everything we wanted to do and see. Bus picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel so it was very convenient. We got lots of fun photos with the giant butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. The Churaumi Aquarium was awesome. Our guide was friendly and helpful and managed to communicate to us via English signs when to get back to the bus and what time we could go see the dolphin show. It really helped that we happened to have a bilingual traveler on our bus and he stepped in to help translate from Japanese to English. Lots of interesting pineapple products to try at Nago Pineapple Park. They gave us a mini cup to sample about 4-5 pineapple wines and you can try their pineapple cakes. On our way home, the tour guide gave everyone a little pineapple ice cream sherbet, very refreshing! Perfect end to an enjoyable day.
My Japanese language skills are limited, so having the English audio available was great. The tour guide was friendly and very good. I enjoyed the bus tour immensely. I had an easy time finding the pick up location and was dropped off where I could get back to my hotel without getting lost. I didn't realize that Expo Land was a huge theme park until we got there. My goal, however, was to spend time at the Churaumi Aquarium and I was able to do just that. Along the way, we stopped at a few sights, including a Butterfly Museum, Pineapple Park, and Ryukyu Glass Factory. All in all, I had a great time.
Overall, it was very good.
It's a pity that the visiting time at each tourist spot was short.
I think it would have been better to extend the return time and allow more time at each location.
But I had a fun day. Thank you very much.
全体的に非常に良かったです。
各観光地の見学時間が短いのが残念です。
帰りの時間を遅くして、各所の時間を多くしたら 良かったかな
でも 楽しい1日がすごせました。有難うございます。
It was really convenient to be picked up at the hotel where I was staying. The tour was compact, but I was able to thoroughly explore the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in three hours. I also had time to enjoy the Dolphin Show.
Unfortunately, the lunch (or snack?) was quite light. The taste wasn't bad, but it was really minimal! You should think of it more as a light snack.
Additionally, there were some foreign participants (maybe from China) who tended to be late for the meeting time. Perhaps it's a cultural thing. In the end, our return was delayed by more than 30 minutes. It's something to be cautious about.
宿泊していたホテルでピックアップしてもらえるので本当に便利でした。
コンパクトにまとまっていますが、美ら海水族館も3時間でたっぷり見学できました。オキちゃん劇場もゆっくり見ることができました。
残念なのは昼食(軽食?)です。味は悪くありませんが、本当に軽いです!ちょっとおやつ程度と思った方がいいです。
それから、外国の方(中国人かな)が参加していたのですが、集合時間に遅れがちです。お国柄でしょうか。結局帰着予定が30分以上延びてしまいました。要注意です。
If you want to visit Churaumi Aquarium but can't or don't want to rent your own vehicle, this tour is probably the best way to do it. Although the staff's English language abilities are minimal, they have some helpful signage and a lot of patience to help you out. The English speaking tourists were all given a headset which provided some interesting information along the drive to compensate for missing out on what the guide was saying. The additional stops: butterfly garden, Nago Pineapple Park, and glass shop were all very catered to getting you to spend more money on souveniers, but you don't have to buy anything and they were all (mildly) interesting enough that it wasn't an annoyance. Lunch is good, if a bit sparse. Bring snacks or buy some at the stops. The three hours at the aquarium is a good amount of time. Enough time to get through the whole aquarium and even catch the dolphin show or spend time at the other attractions. The staff was excellent and surprised us with a complementary pineapple sherbet at the end of the day, so that nice. They also offered to drop us off at the main shopping street or our original pick-up point, which was very convenient. Overall, I'd recommend this as a cost effective way (all the entrance frees and lunch are included) to see some of Okinawa Honto and get to the main attractions up north.
You can enjoy it every time you go! The whale sharks seen from the large aquarium are truly impressive. I recommend checking the feeding times before you go.
何回行っても楽しめる★
大水槽から見るジンベイザメは大迫力(^◇^)
餌やりの時間を調べて行くことをお勧めします
We traveled to Okinawa with our family during the New Year holidays. Since I don't have a driver's license, I signed up for this service, and it was fully booked and very popular. I'm glad I made the reservation early.
Everyone acted on time, so everything proceeded as scheduled. I participated with my sixth-grade and kindergarten children, and we were very satisfied as we received souvenirs as well.
I will definitely recommend this to relatives and friends who are going to Okinawa. By the way, my husband was down with a cold, so I called to cancel early on the day of the trip, and I received a half refund. That was great.
年末年始を利用し、家族で沖縄に旅行しました。車の免許が無い為こちらを申し込みましたが、満員の大盛況でした。早く予約しておいて良かったです。
皆さんが時間通りに行動してくださったので、すべて時間通りに進みました。
小6と年長の子供と参加しましたが、お土産も頂き大満足でした。
沖縄に行く親戚や友人がいたら必ずオススメします。
ちなみにパパは風邪でダウンだったので、当日早朝にキャンセルの電話をしましたら、半分返金されました。良かったです。
Absolutely beautiful trip.... totally enjoyed every part.. the bus was very punctual and the host was super nice and caring... I definitely recommend this tour..it was great
I couldn't drive, so I decided to use this bus tour. I was generally satisfied, but it was a bit disappointing that there wasn't enough time to sightsee because we were pressed for time.
運転をできなくて今回のバスツアーを利用するようになりました
大体満足していたが、時間が切迫して見物する時間が足りないからちょっと残念でした
Me and my boyfriend joint the RADO Churaumi one day tour and visited many places including the butterfly house and the Pineapple Park. This is a value for money tour and is perfect for you get to walk around freely without the need to follow the tour guide all the time. At each destination, the guide will tell you what time to return to the bus to set off to the next destination.
Although the staff do not speak English, it's very easy to follow their instruction. They are also very helpful and polite.
I highly recommend anyone who visit Okinawa for the first time to join this trip.
The tour price at 4700 yen with all entrance fee inclusive plus one free meal is unbeatable. What was unexpected was a free glassware gift and pineapple ice-cream! I do recommend the tour to my friends. However, the GPS-guide device does not work well at all. Although it comes with English, Chinese or Korean, the recordings only listenable intermittently with which international travelers may not be able to enjoy the journey in full.
I got this program from my trip cafe.
It introduces this is "very reasonal price & program".
when we travellers regard distance and time.
It's not easy to decide how to do all at once.
ThanX a lot Veltra~, Next time I will choose again~! :)
私は旅行カフェからこのプログラムを手に入れました。
これは「非常にリーズナブルな価格とプログラム」と紹介されています。
私たち旅行者が距離と時間を考慮すると、
すべてを一度にどうするか決めるのは簡単ではありません。
ありがとう、Veltra!次回もまた選びますね〜! :)

I had to leave the tour midway due to my flight schedule. During that time, I was deeply touched by the kindness of our guide, Mr. Arakaki, and our driver, Mr. Kinjō. I am very grateful to them.
The tour content was also fulfilling, and the guidance during the drive was very educational. I am extremely satisfied with the value for the price. I discussed with my friends about wanting to participate in the tour all the way to the end once more.
フライト便の都合でツアー途中で離脱させていただきました。その際、ガイドさんの新垣さん、運転手の金城さんには大変親切にしていただき、感激しました。感謝しています。
ツアー内容も充実していて、車中のガイドも大変勉強になりました。料金に対しての内容の充実度も大満足です。もう一度最後までツアーに参加したいと友人と話し合いました。
I have been to Okinawa dozens of times, but I never had the opportunity to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. While looking for something to do, I found this tour. The price, which includes the aquarium entrance fee along with visits to the butterfly garden, pineapple park, and Ryukyu glass, offers great cost performance.
We had a three-hour stay at the aquarium, which was very meaningful. The guide's explanations were excellent, and the driver was also very considerate, making the experience very worthwhile.
沖縄には何十回も来ているが、中々、美ら海水族館に行く機会が無かったので、
何か無いかと探したところ、このツアーがありました。
水族館の入場料込み+蝶々園、パイナップルパーク、琉球ガラスを回ってのこの値段は、コストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。
水族館でも3時間の滞在時間があり、有意義でした。
ガイドさんの説明も良く、運転手さんにもいろいろと気遣って頂き、非常に有効に活用できたと思います。
The guide's assistance was very good.
The butterfly garden, pineapple park, and glass factory tour were not that great.
I participated in the tour with a 2-year-old, and I thought I might be able to use a seat for free, but despite it being an off-season weekday, it was crowded, and I had to hold my child. It was tough. I regretted not reserving a seat for the toddler.
ガイドさんの案内はとてもよかったです。
ツアーの蝶々園、パイナップルパーク、ガラスの見学はイマイチでした。
2歳児を連れてのツアー参加でしたが、無料であわよくば席が使えるかも?なんて思ってましたが、オフシーズン平日にもかかわらず、混んであり、抱っこで乗車。きつかったです。幼児席を予約しておけばよかったと後悔しました。

We traveled to Okinawa as a family of four. The kids wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, so I did some research and found the Family Line and quickly made a reservation. However, on February 15, there was heavy snow in the Kanto region, and we couldn't leave our house. Transportation was paralyzed, and flights were canceled, so we postponed to March. We canceled all our reservations, and I was happy that Alan1 quickly handled the cancellations. For our rescheduled trip in March, we applied for the same course. The guide from Rad Tourism was excellent. I appreciated the pick-up from the nearby hotel, and the fun guide made the entire day's trip enjoyable. We encountered beautiful butterflies, stunning flowers, and wonderful fish, making it a tour that left us 150% satisfied.
家族4人で沖縄へ。美ら海水族館へ子供達が行きたいというので調べたらファミリー号が見つかり早速予約。ところが2月15日は関東地方大雪で、家から出られず、交通機関も麻痺、飛行機も飛ばず3月へ延期。すべての予約をキャンセル、alan1もすばやくキャンセル対応してくれうれしかった。3月振り替え旅行。同じコースを申し込んだ。ラド観光のガイドさんは非常によかった。近くのホテルへのピックアウトもうれしいが、楽しいガイドで1日の旅全体を楽しめた。美しい蝶、美しい花、素晴らしい魚たちと出会え150%満足できたツアーでした。
Thank you very much for enjoying our bus tour. We are very pleased that our guide was able to provide you with great hospitality. We look forward to serving you again next time. Thank you!
この度は弊社のバスツアーを満喫して頂き大変ありがとうございます。
ガイドもお客様をおもてなし出来たこと大変うえれしく思っております。次回また機会がございましたらご利用お待ちしております。
ありがとうございました!
I didn't have a driver's license in Okinawa and was planning to travel by bus, but I'm really glad I found this bus tour package. There's no waiting time for the bus, so it's very time-efficient.
沖縄では免許を持ってなくてバスで旅行するつもりでしたが、このバス旅行商品があって本当によかったと思います。バスを待つ時間などがなくて、時間的にすごくお得です。
Since we didn't rent a car, I participated with my elderly mother. The deciding factor for our booking was the shuttle service to our hotel. The itinerary felt a bit too packed, and I wish we could have spent more time at the Churaumi Aquarium. However, thanks to the consideration of our guide and driver for my mother, who uses a cane, we were able to keep up with the long tour until the end. We were also blessed with good weather, which allowed us to create wonderful memories.
レンタカーを借りなかったため、年老いた母と2人で参加しました。
宿泊しているホテルまで送迎していだだけるのが申し込みの決め手になりました。
内容的には、ちょっと詰め込み過ぎ感もあり、もう少しちゅら海水族館での滞在時間を増やして欲しいなぁと。
ただ、ガイドさんやドライバーさんが杖を使っている母に配慮してくださったお陰で
長丁場の観光もどうにか最後までついていくことができました。
お天気にも恵まれて、いい想い出作りが出来ました。
とても良い選択!良い~~~~良い!!!!良い~~~~~良い良い良い良い
very good chiose! good~~~~good!!!!good~~~~~good good good good
I joined the tour with the desire to see the whale sharks at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, but I also enjoyed several other stops along the way.
After lunch at the Ryukyu Mura Butterfly Garden, we visited the butterfly garden. The Okinawa soba for lunch was decent, but considering the price, I felt it was a great value. It seems that butterflies are attracted to red, so if you're not fond of them, be cautious.
Next was the long-awaited Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium! The Ocean Expo Park, where the aquarium is located, also features a manatee pavilion, a sea turtle pavilion, the dolphin show with Okichan, and a playground for children. The park is very spacious, and for families like ours, three hours was not enough. Personally, I found the dolphin show to be more impressive than the one at Kamogawa Sea World, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Inside the aquarium, there was a large tank featuring three whale sharks and manta rays! It's amazing to see these dream fish up close without having to dive. It was truly moving.
After that, we enjoyed unlimited pineapple tasting at the Pineapple Park. We also visited the Glass Museum of the Forest, where we could see the Ryukyu glass workshop, which exceeded our expectations.
Overall, it was a very satisfying day, allowing us to efficiently and affordably explore the highlights without having to move around by rental car.
美ら海水族館でジンベエザメを見たい!という気持ちで参加したツアーですが、それ以外に立ち寄る場所も結構楽しめます。
琉宮城蝶々園では昼食後に蝶々園見学。昼食の沖縄そばの味はまずまずですが、この値段でランチも付いており、コストパフォーマンスが高く感じました。蝶は赤いものを身に着けていると集まってくるようなので、苦手な方はお気を付けあれ。
次は、待ちに待った美ら海水族館!水族館のある海洋博公園にはマナティ館、ウミガメ館、イルカのオキちゃん劇場、子供の遊び場などがあり、園内はとても広く、子連れの自分たちには3時間では足りないくらい。中でもイルカのショーは個人的には鴨川シーワールドよりも見応えがあると感じられるくらい、存分に楽しめました。水族館内ではデカイ水槽にジンベエザメ3匹とマンタのコラボレーション!ダイバー憧れの魚たちが潜らなくても簡単に見られる!感動ものです。
その後はパイナップルパークでパイナップル試食し放題。また森のガラス館では琉球ガラス工房の見学もでき、期待以上に楽しめました。
レンタカーなどで自分自身で移動するよりも効率よく安価に見どころを巡ることができ、大満足の1日でした。
It was a family service trip, but I participated alone. The meal was included, there was a sightseeing guide along the way, and we had enough time to enjoy the aquarium, which made me satisfied. Since there is a lot of travel time, I think it would have been better if the information shown on the in-car monitor during the guide was closer to what was being discussed.
家族サービス号でしたが一人で参加しました。お食事もつき、道すがらの観光ガイドもあり、水族館も十分に楽しめる時間があり、満足しました。
移動の時間が多いので、ガイド時に車内のモニターで流す情報をもっとお話しされている内容に近いものだとより良かったと思います。
I participated at the beginning of September. Due to the bus being full, it took two hours to pick up guests from each hotel. I think those departing from the Southwest Resort Hotel should be prepared for this. Aside from the Churaumi Aquarium, the stops were more for meals and shopping rather than sightseeing. In the future, it might be better to reduce the number of shared pickups a bit more.
9月始めに参加しました。
バスが満員とのことで、各ホテルを回ってお客を迎えるのに、2時間もかかりました。
南西観光ホテルの発着の人は覚悟されたほうが良いと思います。
美ら海水族館以外は、観光と言うよりは、食事と買い物のための立ち寄りでした。
今後お迎えの混載はもう少し減らしたほうが良いのでは?
I discovered the Churaumi Family Service bus while researching vacation options in Okinawa from Korea. It was more affordable than other tour buses, allowing us to enjoy our trip comfortably. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be nice, which was convenient. Our guide, Mr. Higa, provided detailed information about the sightseeing spots, making for a great trip. I will recommend this to many friends in Korea. Thank you very much.
韓国から沖縄に休暇目的のために調査した中
美ら海家族サービス号を発見しました。
他のツアーバスよりも価格も安く、楽に旅を楽しむことができました。
天気が良くないかと心配したが、良い天気なので便利良かったし、
ガイドだったヒガさんが観光地を詳しく案内してくれ良い旅をすることができました。
韓国の友達と多くの紹介をいたします。
ありがとうございました。
I am Korean, and since I am traveling with my mother, we looked for and selected a tour. It doesn't seem very good for travelers who are not using rental cars. Both my mother and I were satisfied. ^^
私は韓国人であり、母親と二人の旅行なのでツアーを探して見て選択しました。
レンタカーを利用していない旅行者にはあまり良いようです。
母も私も満足しました。^^
It was great to be able to visit so many places with lunch included at this price. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was just right for us, as we could take our time for about three hours with our small children.
Above all, the shuttle service from the hotel made it convenient. Additionally, it was interesting to see different hotels as we visited various locations.
この値段で、昼食が付いてこれだけ回れてとても良かったです。美ら海水族館は、小さい子供連れだったので3時間ゆっくりできて丁度良かったです。
何よりホテルから送迎があるので楽でした。また、色々なホテルを回るので違うホテルの様子が見れて興味深かったです。
On July 29, I participated in a tour with my child. It was fully booked due to summer vacation, with many families joining. The reason I chose this tour was that they pick you up from each hotel, and I wanted to get off at the resort hotel on the way back, so I was looking for a tour like that and found one. It was a relief not to have to rent a car.
My child was looking forward to the Churaumi Aquarium as it was their first time in Okinawa, and we had nearly three hours of sightseeing time, during which we could also enjoy the dolphin show at a leisurely pace. The giant whale shark tank was indeed impressive. It was great to see it from above as well.
I initially thought the pineapple garden, butterfly house, and glass museum were just extras, but each of them turned out to be enjoyable. I was also happy to receive a little souvenir. The bus guide sang songs and shared fun stories, making it a wonderful memory of the trip. Thank you very much!
7月29日子供とツアー参加しました。
夏休みもあり、家族ずれなど、満席でした。
選んだ理由は、各ホテルピックアップしてくれるのと、帰りもリゾートホテルで下車したかったため、そういうツアーを探しており、見つけました。レンタカーがなくても、助かりました。
子供は初めての沖縄で、美ら海水族館を楽しみにしており、また、3時間近く見学時間があり、イルカショーもゆっくり見れました。
やはり、じんべいの水槽は圧巻でした。
上からも見れて、それも良かったです。
パイナップル園や、ちょうちょ館、ガラス館は、おまけのように思っていましたが、それぞれ、良かったです。
ちょこっとお土産も、うれしかったです。
バスガイドさんも、歌を歌ってくれたり、話も楽しかったです。旅のいい思い出になりました、ありがとうございました!!
I participated in the tour during Golden Week. Since I was scheduled to take the last bus home that day, I mentioned this when I got on the bus in the morning. I was told, "There is a high possibility that we won't make it on time due to traffic, but do you still want to go?" I had been looking forward to it, but at that point, my mood dropped. Although they were concerned about my return during the trip, I kept hearing, "It might be better to head to the airport on the bus at xx o'clock," and in the end, I couldn't enjoy myself at all.
I ended up leaving midway, took a taxi to the bus stop, and paid out of pocket to get to Naha. It cost me about 3000 yen extra, and I couldn't enjoy myself at all, wondering what it was all for...
The tour introduction mentioned that we would return to Naha around 7 PM, and I had anticipated some congestion and delays, thinking that having about two hours of buffer time would be fine. However, it seems that during the busy season, delays are significant. If they had written that, I would have reconsidered my application.
It's not that the guide's response was bad, but I think the information provided for the tour was insufficient. Those participating during the busy season should be cautious.
GWに参加しました。
当日の最終便で帰る予定だったので朝バスに乗る時にその旨伝えたところ、「渋滞で間に合わない可能性が高いですがそれでも乗りますか?」と言われました。
折角楽しみにしていたのに、この時点で気分は落ち込み、途中でも帰りを気にしてくださってのことではありますが「xx時のバスで空港へ向かった方がいいかも」と都度都度言われ、結局全然楽しめませんでした。
結局途中で離脱し、タクシーでバス停へ向かい、自腹で那覇へ。3000円くらい追加のお金がかかり、気分的にも全然楽しめず、何だったんだろうなぁ・・・と思いました。
ツアーの紹介では19時頃には那覇へ帰ってくるようなことがあり、こちらとしても多少の混雑や遅れを想定して2時間程度余裕があれば大丈夫だろうと予想して申し込んだのに、実際繁忙期は相当遅れるようです。
そう書いておいてくれれば申し込みも考えたのに。
ガイドさんなどの対応が悪かったわけでは決してないですが、ツアー説明として情報不十分だと思います。
繁忙期に参加する方はお気を付けください。

In Okinawa, the Yui Rail only goes as far as Shuri, so if you want to go to other areas, renting a car is essential. However, driving in an unfamiliar place can be quite stressful, and the roads can get pretty congested. In that regard, this bus tour was great as it took us to notable spots and made things easy. The travel time was indeed long (departing from Omoromachi), but to keep us entertained, the guide provided sightseeing information along the way. Unfortunately, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm while at the aquarium, and we rushed through the pineapple farm, having extra time left over. If the weather had been good, 30 minutes would definitely not have been enough. I think waiting in line for the attractions would be quite a hassle. For the price, I think it was a great deal. The little souvenirs we received at each location were nice too. The guide was pleasant as well. I am very satisfied. Next time, I would like to join a bus tour to a different location.
沖縄にはゆいレールと言うモノレールが首里までしか出てないので
それ以外の地域に行きたければレンタカーを借りるのが必至です。
が、慣れない土地での運転はかなりのストレス。しかも、結構道が混んでます。
その点このバスツアーはめぼしい場所に連れてってくれて楽でした。
移動時間は確かに長かった(おもろまち出発)ですけど、飽きないように
ガイドさんが道々バスからの観光案内もしてくれました。
あいにく、水族館にいる途中で豪雨に見舞われまして、パイナップル園は
駆け足で時間が余る位でした。天気が良かったら確かに30分では足りない
でしょう。乗り物に乗って回るのが順番待ちすごくなると思うので。
値段の割にはとてもお得だと思います。
各場所でもらえるちょっとしたお土産も良かったですよ。
ガイドさんも感じが良かったし。たいへん満足です。
今度は別の場所に行くバスツアーに参加してみたいものです。
