All Reviews for Half-Day Tours

It was absolutely fun! The weather was really nice and pleasant, and the guide's explanations were interesting, making it truly enjoyable! The moment the Sky Duck dove into the water was thrilling! I want to participate in another course as well.

サイコーに楽しかったです^ ^
お天気がすごく良くて気持ちよく、ガイドのお姉さんの説明も面白くて本当に楽しめました！
スカイダックが水の中にダイブする瞬間はドキドキ！！
また別のコースにも参加したいです

The time spent driving was the main part, but along the way, the guide's stories were enjoyable and kept me from getting bored. I couldn't help but chuckle at the max speed in the water. Huh?! But the weather was nice, and the scenery was great, making it a fun experience.

道路を走る時間が主だっけど、
道中、案内の方の話が楽しく退屈しませんでした。
水中のmaxのスピードに、苦笑い
え??！
でも、お天気がよく景色もよく楽しい経験でした。

This tour is perfect for the last day as you can leave your luggage on the bus, making it possible to drop off at the airport. They implemented COVID-19 measures such as alcohol disinfection and seat arrangements every time you board. Previously, I participated in tours to Ontake and Okinawa World, so this time I chose the Valley of Gangala. It was disappointing that we couldn't enter the back of the triangular rock at Ontake, but we were able to take our time exploring. The Valley of Gangala had other tour participants, and we were around 20 people with our guide. They provide insect repellent gel, but I still got bitten, so I think it's better to ask for extra! The highlight was the impressive banyan tree.

バスて荷物を預かってもらえるので、空港降車も可能なこのツアーは最終日に最適。乗車時に毎回アルコール消毒、席配置などコロナ対策もされてました。以前、御嶽とおきなわワールドのツアーに参加したので、今回はガンガラーの谷を選択。御嶽は三角岩の奥には入れず残念でしたがその分ゆっくりと回れました。ガンガラーの谷は、他のツアーの方もいて、20人弱でガイドさんとともにまわりました。虫除けジェルを支給してくれますがそれでも虫に噛まれたので、多めにおかわり⁉︎した方がよいと思います。ポイントのガジュマルは、圧巻でした。

The Valley of Gangala was very fulfilling and enjoyable. It was pouring rain, but the introduction of a 100 yen raincoat was a lifesaver. I wish the bus guide had sold them before we went to the Sefa Utaki.

ガンガラーの谷はとても充実していて、楽しかったです。大雨でしたが、100円のレインコートの紹介もあり、助かりました。できれば斎場御嶽に行く前に、バスのガイドさんに販売してほしかったと思います。

I was able to efficiently visit places that are difficult to reach without a car. The morning gathering is early, but as a result, we could see the quiet Sefa Utaki. Since I had elementary school children with me, I was torn between Okinawa World and the Valley of Gangala, but I'm glad we chose the latter. It was fun and felt like an adventure.
Thanks to GOTO, it was cheaper, and I received the common coupon email properly.

車が無いと行きにくい場所を効率よくまわれました。朝の集合は早いですが、その分静かな斎場御嶽が見れます。小学生連れなのでおきなわワールドと迷いましたが、ガンガラーの谷にして良かったです。冒険気分で楽しかったです。
GOTOで安くなり、共通クーポンのメールもきちんと来ました。

This was a tour following my participation in the Jomon Sugi tour the day before. The guide was the same person as on the Jomon Sugi tour and adjusted the pace for us, allowing us to reach Taiko Rock without any injuries.

In addition to explanations at each point, the guide took photos for us (also teaching us about angles), making it a tour that offered experiences we wouldn't have had if we had climbed on our own.

Personally, I felt this tour allowed me to connect more with nature than the Jomon Sugi tour, so for those considering other tours, I highly recommend this one!

前日に縄文杉ツアーに参加しての今回のツアーでした。ガイドさんが縄文杉ツアーと同じ担当者さんでペースを調整してくれたので、ケガなく太鼓岩まで登頂できました。
各ポイントでの解説に加えて、随所で写真を撮って下さり(アングル等も教えてくれます)、自分たちだけで登頂するのでは経験できないツアーでした。
個人的には縄文杉ツアーよりこちらのツアーの方が自然を感じられてよかったので、ほかのツアーと迷われてる方は、このツアーがいちばんおすすめです！

Out of the eight people, four participated alone, while the remaining two couples seemed to be married.

At Saiha no Utaki, we split into those who chose Okinawa World and those who chose the Valley of Gangala.

One person slipped and fell. Due to the rain, it's advisable to wear comfortable shoes like sneakers.

Currently, you cannot pass through the Utaki and can only view it from the front. Unlike the photos, I didn't notice it at first, but there was a staff member present who informed us.

At the Valley of Gangala, we gathered at the cave café first, and then a male guide provided us with a tour.

For those who wanted, they offered water bottles filled with sanpin tea and shared insect repellent gel.

They mentioned that on rainy days, certain animals come out, and the moderately wet scenery of the valley is recommended for a stroll. Indeed, the mystical atmosphere was enhanced by the rain, making it very beautiful. The presence of the banyan tree is overwhelming.

While Okinawa is strongly associated with the sea, spending time surrounded by greenery was also very luxurious and refreshing.

8名の内、4人が1人参加、残りはご夫婦らしき2組。

斎場御嶽はそのまま、おきなわワールドとガンガラーの谷は選択した方へ別れます。

お一人、滑って転んだ方がいらっしゃいました。
雨のせいもありますが、スニーカー等靴は歩きやすい物を。

御嶽は現在通り抜けできなくなっていて、正面から見る感じです。
写真と違い、最初気がつきませんでしたが、その場に係りの方がいらっしゃり、教えて下さいました。

ガンガラーの谷は最初に洞窟カフェで集まり、そこから男性ガイドが案内して下さいます。

さんぴん茶の入った水筒を希望者にはくれて虫除けジェルも分けてくれます。

雨の日だからこそ、出てくる動物もいること、散策には適度に濡れた谷の景色がおすすめ等、教えて下さいましたが、確かに幻想的な雰囲気が雨で増した感じでとても素敵でした。
ガジュマルの木の存在感は圧倒的です。

沖縄は海のイメージが強いですが、緑に囲まれて過ごす時間もとても贅沢で気分転換になりました。

I applied for something I could use in Tokyo since my Beltora points are about to expire and I can't go abroad. It was a beautiful autumn day, so even without windows, it felt nice, and the splash was more spectacular than I expected, making it a lot of fun.

ベルトラのポイントが切れそうで海外にもいけないので東京内で使えるものがないかと申し込みました。秋晴れの日だったので窓がなくても気持ちよく、スプラッシュは思っていたより豪快で楽しかったです。

It's been over 40 years since I visited Gyokusendo. It's very long, mysterious, and beautifully lit up, so I highly recommend it. The outside temperature was 30°C, but it was cool and comfortable inside the cave. Just be careful of the dripping water from the ceiling...

40数年ぶりの玉泉洞。とても長く、神秘的でキレイにライトアップされておりお勧めです。外気温が30°のあったのですが、鍾乳洞内は涼しくて快適快適でした。天井からの水滴に注意ですかね・・・

Saijō Utaki is reached by walking a slight slope after getting off the bus. The entire process takes about 30 minutes. At the entrance of the Ganjalaru Valley, there is a café where I enjoyed a coffee. Before heading to Korea, we received an explanation from our guide and were given water bottles to carry for the tour. There were many unfamiliar sights, like workplaces and insects, but the female guide provided thorough explanations to any questions we had. Along the way, we entered a cave, and the faint light from the lanterns made the experience even more enjoyable. I believe children would be thrilled. The scenery and the guide's explanations made for a very meaningful time. The bus guide was also kind and provided good explanations despite being young. It was a half-day course, but it was a very worthwhile tour.

斎場御嶽はバスを降りて少々坂道を歩いて到着。
全体で30分程度の工程です。
ガンガラーの谷は入口にカフェがあり、そこでコーヒーをいただきました。
韓国前にガイドさんから説明を聞き、水筒をもらい肩からかけてツアー開始です。
職場、昆虫など見慣れないものばかりですが、女性ガイドさんは何を聞いてもきちんと説明して下さいます。
途中、洞窟内に入って行きますが、ランタンのわずかな明かりで楽しみ倍増です。
子供達であれば、大喜びだと思います。
景色、ガイドさんの説明等大変有意義な時間でした。
バスのガイドさんも親切で若いのによく説明してくれます。
半日コースでしたが、大変有意義なツアーでした。

The guide's explanation conveyed the current situation in Okinawa thoroughly, which was great. It left a strong impression on me. Although they said they were not very good, they were truly wonderful.

ガイドさんの説明が沖縄の現状を余すころなく伝えられていてよかったです。非常に心に残りました。さらに下手だと本人は言うが、とても素敵でした。

Due to the pandemic, there were only four participants! Moreover, all of us were solo travelers (laughs). But thanks to that, we were able to bond and it turned into a fun trip! Thank you for operating with such a small group.

コロナ禍のせいか参加者が4人！
しかも全員1人参加同士（笑）
でもおかげで仲良くなれて楽しい旅と
なりました！少人数での運行ありがとうございます。

It was a place that was a bit difficult to visit alone, but there was a sightseeing bus that took us to the two desired locations, allowing us to use our time very efficiently. I was very satisfied to visit the Sefa Utaki and the Valley of Gangala, as well as the caves and sacred sites that have remained since ancient times.

一人なのでなかなか行きづらい場所でしたが、観光バスで希望の2箇所周遊があり、とても効率よく回れる時間も有効に使えました。斎場御嶽と、ガンガーラの谷と、古代から残る洞窟や聖地に行けてとても満足です。

It rained from the morning, and the rental raincoat and backpack cover were very helpful! The guide was fun and worked hard to teach us various things, which made it really enjoyable! They also pointed out great spots for photos, and at Taiko Rock, we were able to relax. Although we couldn't see anything at Taiko Rock, it was still a lot of fun!

朝から雨が降り、レンタルのレインコートとバックカバーが役立ちました！ガイドさんが楽しく色々なことを一生懸命教えてくれてすごく楽しかったです！写真撮るポイントも教えてくれたり、太鼓岩ではゆっくり過ごさせてくれたり、太鼓岩では何も見えませんでしたが楽しかったです！

It was amazing to tour on a double-decker bus while feeling the breeze. The scenery I always see looked fresh and new. The cherry blossom season and illuminations also seem enjoyable.

風を感じながら2階立てバスで観光最高です。
いつも見ている景色が新鮮にみえました。
桜の時期やイルミネーションも楽しそう。

I participated in a bus tour and arrived at Seifa Utaki earlier than scheduled. During the waiting time, I was able to stroll around Chita Peninsula Park. The weather was nice, and Kudaka Island looked beautiful.

The guide's explanations and the handmade picture story were great. After visiting Utaki, I bought some sata andagi.

At Okinawa World, the limestone cave was impressively long. But the highlight was the Eisa performance, where five women took turns dancing for 30 minutes. They jumped while playing drums and lifted their legs high; it was amazing. If you check the Eisa schedule and prioritize watching it, you'll have a lot of fun.

There were also coupon discounts, which made it relatively easy to enjoy the less accessible Nanjo.

バスツアー参加、当日予定よりも早くせーふぁ御嶽に着いて、待ち時間、知多岬公園を散策できた。天気も良く久高島が綺麗に見えた。

ガイドさんの解説も手作り紙芝居もあり、良かった。御嶽見学後、サータアンダーギを買って摘んだ。

沖縄ワールドでは、鍾乳洞が長くすごかった。でも一番良かったのは、エイサー、女性5人が入れ変わり立ち代わり30分、動き回る。太鼓を叩きながらジャンプしたり足を高く上げたり、凄かった。エイサーの時間確認して優先して見ると楽しいです。

クーポン割引もあり、比較的行きにくい南城をうまく楽しめました。

The guide was very enthusiastic and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. It seemed like the kids had the most fun with the water activities. The skillful driving through narrow paths was impressive. The local information was also very helpful.

ガイドの方が一生懸命盛り上げてくださり終始楽しく参加しました。子供は入水が一番楽しかったようです。狭い道を巧みなドライビングテクニックで進む様子は圧巻でした。地元情報もためになりました。

I searched for a tour that wouldn't be crowded for my elderly mother, who has health issues, and decided to join this one. On the day of the tour, it was just me, my mother, and her friend participating. They took thorough measures for temperature checks, sanitization, and maintaining distance between guests, so the COVID-19 precautions were excellent. Both my mother and her friend were very satisfied and said they wanted to try this in all four seasons! I was also thrilled by the beautiful night view of Tokyo, and I can't forget the impressive sight of Tokyo Tower that day. I am very grateful to all the staff who organized the tour while making efforts to prevent infections during the pandemic. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

高齢で持病ありの母のために、密にならないツアーを探しこちらに参加しました。
当日は私、母、母の友人の３人で参加。
検温、消毒、お客さん同士の間隔もしっかりとられていて、コロナ対策もばっちりでした。
母も母の友人も大満足で、春夏秋冬すべての季節に挑戦する！と言っていました。
私も綺麗な東京の夜景に大興奮で、あの日見た東京タワーの迫力は忘れられません。
コロナ禍の中、感染防止に努めながらツアーを開催して下さっているスタッフの皆さまに大感謝です。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, which was a relief, but it was hot.
We could see the land from the water, and the fish were jumping.
My grandchild had a great time.
The boats were a bit shaky, but the Sky Duck was fine.

お天気良かったので助かりましたが、暑かった。
水上から陸を見ることができ、魚も飛び跳ね
孫はとても楽しんでました。
船等は弱いのですが、スカイダックは大丈夫でした。

It was a quick but enjoyable time, with plenty of services from the driver and interesting explanations from the guide. From a perspective that you wouldn't normally experience, you can enjoy sights like Tokyo Tower and the expressway, feeling like you're on a little roller coaster from the height of the bus. I would like to try a different course next time. My elementary school-aged child was also very happy.

あっという間の時間でしたが、運転手さんのサービスも盛り沢山、ガイドさんの解説も楽しめました。普段では味わえない目線からの東京タワーや高速道路など、バスの高さからちょっとしたジェットコースターに乗った気分を味わえます。今度は違うコースに行ってみたいですね。小学生の子供も喜んでました。

On the last day in Okinawa, I was wondering where to go until my flight time, and I found this plan that included the limestone cave I wanted to visit, so I made a reservation.
I had a great time at Okinawa World, enjoying the Gyokusendo Cave, an Eisa performance, and taking photos in traditional costumes.
The bus was spacious, and the guide was very cheerful, a great singer, and kind. The price was reasonable, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was a very satisfying tour.
I highly recommend it!

沖縄最終日、飛行機の時間までどこへ行こうか悩んでいたところ、行きたかった鍾乳洞がコースに含まれているこのプランを見つけ予約しました。
玉泉洞、エイサーのパフォーマンス、伝統衣装を着ての写真撮影など、おきなわワールドで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
バスもゆったりしていて、ガイドさんもとても明るく歌が上手で親切な方でした。お値段もお手頃で時間を有効に使えたので大満足のツアー。
とてもオススメです！

The seats are assigned with quite a bit of space in between. While the bus was moving, there was an incredible wind, so I was able to enjoy the ride without worry. The night view was more beautiful than I had imagined. I would like to participate again.

座席はかなり間隔をあけて指定されています。バスが動いている間は、物凄い風なので、心配なく過ごせました。
夜景は想像以上にきれいでした。また参加したい。

I felt that there was a difference in how the guide interacted with participants. Additionally, during the long-distance trekking tour, there were instances of the participants being subjected to aggressive questioning about Yakushima, and when they didn't know the answers, they were often dismissed with a snort, which was quite unpleasant. It was disappointing to be part of a tour where, despite the physical challenges, I couldn't answer the questions and was unable to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace.

コースの参加者によってガイドの応対に差があると感じました。
また長距離トレッキングツアー中の参加者へ屋久島に関する知識の高圧的な質問責めがあり、分からないと鼻であしらわれることも多々あり、いい気はしませんでした。体力的に厳しい中での質問では答えられず、景色をゆっくり眺められない状態になり、お客として参加したのに残念なツアーになってしまいました。

Due to heavy rain and rising water levels, the tour was modified to go as far as possible. We turned back after crossing the Satsuki Suspension Bridge from the Yayoi Cedar Course. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the Mononoke Forest, but I was disappointed that we couldn't reach the mossy forest. I'm glad the tour wasn't canceled and that we were able to experience even a little of the Shiratani Unsuikyo. Since we had some extra time, we were taken to Yakujin Shrine. We were then dropped off at Awa Port and took the afternoon high-speed boat back.

豪雨で増水のため、コースを変更して行けるところまでというツアーとなりました。
弥生杉コースからさつき吊橋を渡ったところまでで折り返し帰る事となりました。
もののけの森の雰囲気を味わいましたが、苔むす森まで行ければと残念でした。
ツアーが中止にならず少しでも白谷雲水峡にはいれただけでもよかったです。
時間も少し余ったので、もう一カ所案内できるとの事で、益救（やく）神社に連れて行ってもらいました。
安房港まで送ってもらい、昼便の高速船に乗り帰りました。

It was lonely because there were few people due to the impact of COVID-19, but I had a great time with safe driving and proper explanations. I would like to use this service again.

コロナの影響で人は少なくて寂しかったですが、

安全な運転、適切な説明、すごく良い時間を過ごしました。

また、利用したいと思います。

I wanted to make the most of my half day upon arriving in Okinawa, so I participated in this tour. It was my first time at the Gangala Valley, and I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. I had a wonderful experience entering the caves with a lantern! Although it was July, it wasn't too hot because of the lush trees around, and I appreciated that they lent us insect repellent spray and prepared Sanpin tea for us. I felt reassured as the bus and tourist spots seemed to have solid COVID-19 measures in place. The guide, Bise, at Gangala Valley shared some great stories.

沖縄到着の日の半日を有効に使いたいと思い参加しました。
初めてのガンガラーの谷でしたが、壮大な自然に圧倒され、ランタンを持って洞窟に入ったりと素敵な体験をさせてもらいました！
７月でしたが、木々が生い茂っている中なので、そこまで暑くはなく、虫除けスプレーを貸してくれたりサンピン茶を準備してくださったりと、助かりました。
バスの中や観光先もコロナ対策がしっかりとされている印象で安心できました！
ガンガラーの谷でのガイドのビセさんのお話とても良かったです。

I was worried about my feet when it rained, but I had a great time! The explanations were very interesting and engaging! The sanpincha was also appreciated!

雨が降ると足元が心配ですが、とても楽しかった！説明もとても興味深く聞き応えがありました！さんぴんちゃも有り難かったです！

Due to heavy rain, we couldn't enter Shurijo Castle, which we arrived at by 9:00. As a result, we got to Okinawa World early and were able to enjoy the Eisa show starting at 10:30, as well as various experiences like the cave exploration and dressing up! Even if you can visit Shurijo Castle, I recommend watching the Eisa show first at Okinawa World before the cave exploration!

大雨で9:00に着いた斎場御嶽は入場出来ませんでした。そのためおきなわワールドに早く着きましたが10:30からのエイサーショーも見られて玉泉洞も着付け体験も色々楽しめました❗️斎場御嶽に行けてもおきなわワールドでは鍾乳洞よりエイサーショーを先に見るのをオススメします❗️

Since it's a tourist spot, I underestimated it and participated in heel sandals, but it turned out to be more of an adventure than I expected. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had worn shoes that were less slippery and easier to walk in. Everything else was great!

観光スポットなので、甘くみてヒールのサンダルで参加してしまいましたが、思った以上にアドベンチャーでした。滑りずらく歩き安い靴を履いていたら、更に楽しめたと思います。それ以外は最高でしたした！

It was harder than I expected, but I felt a great sense of accomplishment when I reached the final Taiko Rock. I'm glad I participated.

思っていたよりハードでしたが、最後の太鼓岩まで行けて達成感がとてもありました。参加してよかったです。
