All Reviews for Half-Day Tours

I thought the Jomon Sugi would be too physically demanding, so I chose this course. The guide was a cheerful middle-aged veteran man. He was knowledgeable about plants and took photos for us at various spots, which was enjoyable. We were also able to take great photos with the camera we brought!

縄文杉は体力的にムリかなと思って、このコースを選びました。ガイドさんは、愉快な中年ベテラン男性。植物にも詳しく、随所で写真も撮って頂き、楽しかったです。双方持参したこだまでいい写真も撮れました！

The day I participated was a rest day for Sefa Utaki, so unfortunately, we couldn't visit. When Sefa Utaki is closed, it seems that the usual plan is to go to Chinen Misaki, but based on the suggestion from Rad Kanko and the preferences of the participants that day, we didn't go there and instead visited both Shinbaru Beach and Okinawa World, which are typically options.

Shinbaru Beach was a bit disappointing due to the rain, but it was nice to be able to look at the ocean in Okinawa. I think we stayed for about 20 minutes.

At Okinawa World, we had two hours for sightseeing, which I personally found to be just the right length, but usually, it's about 70 minutes. If you plan to tour the limestone caves as well, 70 minutes might feel rushed, so please be mindful of the time allocation. Since the park can get wet from the rain, an umbrella is necessary, but the Eisa show and various experience facilities are covered, so on rainy days, I recommend Okinawa World over the beach. However, while the entrance fee is relatively inexpensive, additional charges will apply for various activities, so it's a good idea to consult your budget and choose experiences that interest you. Personally, I enjoyed the Ryukyu costume fitting experience. They also took photos with my camera, which made for a great keepsake.

私が参加した日は斎場御嶽の休息日のため、残念ながら見学することはできませんでした。
斎場御嶽が休息日の場合、通常は知念岬に行くことになっているらしいですが、ラド観光さんのご提案と当日の参加者の意向で、そちらへは行かずに、本来は選択となる新原ビーチとおきなわワールドの両方に行っていただきました。
新原ビーチは、あいにくの雨だったためイマイチでしたが、沖縄の海を眺められたのは良かったです。20分程度の滞在時間だったと思います。
おきなわワールドは２時間観光の時間を取っていただきました。個人的に丁度良い長さでしたが、通常は70分程度なんですね。鍾乳洞の観光もする場合、70分だと駆け足になると思いますので、時間配分に注意してください。パーク内は雨に濡れるため傘が必要ですが、エイサーショーや各種体験施設は屋根付きなので、雨の日はビーチよりもおきなわワールドがおすすめです。ただし、入園料自体は比較的安いのですが、色々楽しむためには結局のところ追加料金が発生するので、お財布と相談しながら興味のあるものを体験すると良いと思います。個人的には、琉装着付け体験が楽しかったです。手持ちカメラで写真も撮っていただけたので、良い記念になりました。

I participated with eight colleagues who came from overseas. Although I usually work in Tokyo, seeing the city from an open-top bus offered a fresh perspective. We were able to enjoy the Tokyo Tower's light-up right beneath it, and I was moved, thinking, "It was this beautiful!"

We traveled from the Shuto Expressway through the Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba. Experiencing the Shuto Expressway and Rainbow Bridge while feeling the wind was a valuable experience. During the one hour of free time, we took photos with the Statue of Liberty and the Rainbow Bridge, enjoyed ice cream, and took a group photo, though we felt a bit rushed for time.

I recommend this experience not only to tourists but also to those working in Tokyo.

海外から来ていた同僚と一緒に8人で参加しました。普段から東京で働いていますが、オープントップバスから見る東京の街は、目線が違うこともあり新鮮。ちょうど東京タワーのライトアップが始まる時間に真下で鑑賞。『こんなにキレイだったんだ！』と感動しました。

首都高からレインボーブリッジを通ってお台場へ。風を感じながらの首都高＆レインボーブリッジも貴重な体験です。フリータイムの1時間は、自由の女神像とレインボーブリッジの写真を撮ったり、アイスを食べたり、全員でプルクラを撮ったりと、少し時間が足りなかったくらいでした。

観光客の人たちはもちろん、東京で働いている人にもオススメします。

We participated in this tour blessed with the best weather. Thanks to the advance reservation, the check-in was very smooth, which was a great help. While waiting at the bus stop, a bright red body arrived! My child was extremely excited. Although we are familiar with the streets of Tokyo, the guide provided a thorough explanation, making it very enjoyable. And above all, the open deck made the breeze feel wonderful! This alone made it worth participating. We quickly toured famous spots like Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge in just 50 minutes. In the end, there was spontaneous applause from the participants. It was a wonderful tour.

最高の天気に恵まれた中、参加してみました。
事前予約のかいもあり、受付は大変スムーズでした。とても助かります。
バス停で待っていると、真っ赤に輝くボディーが到着！我が子は大興奮です。
見慣れた東京の街並みですが、ガイドさんが丁寧に案内頂けるので、とても楽しめます。
そして、なんといってもオープンデッキのため、風がとても気持ちいい！これだけでも参加した価値があります。東京タワー、レインボーブリッジっと名所をぐるりと周りあっという間の50分。
最後は参加から自然と拍手喝采。素敵なツアーでした。

Really interesting. Sefa Utaki was very peaceful I was the only person on the trip that chose the beach option, everyone else went to the Okinawan Village. I took a trip on a glass bottomed boat, it was amazing

I used this tour on the last day of my trip. I definitely wanted to visit the Sefa Utaki and the Himeyuri Peace Museum, so I joined this tour. At Okinawa World, I saw the Eisa performance recommended by our guide. It was so efficient to cover so much in half a day, and they even took us to Naha Airport for a great price! We arrived at the airport with the beautiful voice of our guide singing "Matahari nu Chindara Kanushamayo," a traditional Okinawan folk song. It was a satisfying conclusion to a fun trip.

旅行最終日に利用しました。
斎場御獄とひめゆりの塔は絶対行ったみたかったので、このツアーに参加しました。おきなわワールドでは、ガイドさんオススメのエイサーを見ました。
半日でこれだけ効率よく周れて、那覇空港まで送ってもらえる上に、格安！
♬マタハリヌ チンダラ カヌシャマヨ♬ と沖縄民謡で、ガイドさんの美声に送られて空港に着きました。楽しかった旅行の締めくくりに大満足のツアーでした。

There are many full-day sightseeing bus tours in Okinawa, but this tour is fantastic for those who want to enjoy half days (for example, if you plan to go parasailing in the afternoon and can't stray too far from Naha, you end up with free time in the morning).

Even if an amateur tries to plan a trip, it's nearly impossible to cover this much in that time. This tour efficiently takes you to the highlights, and the bus guide shares stories, providing historical context for each site. They also advise on how to move around to make the most of your time at each location.

I wondered how they could offer so much for this price!

Of course, this tour is also great for those who have time before their flight on the last day of their trip.

沖縄観光バスツアーで、終日時間をつかう一日観光はたくさん出ていますが、半日ずつ楽しみたい（たとえば、午後はパラセーリングするので那覇からあまり離れられないけど、すると午前が空いてしまう）などの時に、このツアーはめちゃくちゃいいです。

素人がプランをたててもこの時間でまわることはとてもできません。
効率よく名所をまわってくれる上、車内ではバスガイドさんのお話もあるので、各施設の歴史的背景も聞け、また時間内に施設をまわるにはどう動くのが適当かも教えてくれます。

こんなに盛りだくさんなのに、このお値段でいいの？と思いました。

もちろん観光最終日に、飛行機に乗るまでに時間がある方にも使えるツアーです。

If you need to catch a noon flight out of Okinawa, I strongly recommend this tour. It allows storage of luggages and drops off at Naha Airport! Travelling to Sefa Utaki, Mibaru Beach or Okinawa World from Naha and to the airport would cost about as much, or even more, by bus. This is perfect and convenient.

The audio guide is not working for those of us who doesn't understand Jap though.

I gained a better understanding of place names that I only knew as knowledge through the guide's explanations. It was great to increase my knowledge about places I usually encounter casually, like the Imperial Palace and the National Diet Building. The time was a bit short.

知識として知っているだけの地名などがガイドさんの説明でよくわかった。普段何気なく接している皇居、国会議事堂などに関する知識が増えてよかった。時間は短め。

Nice half day tour with drop off at airport for afternoon flights. All destinations were great, and we felt the time allocated for each destination was decent. Our tour guide was friendly and made sure we understood what time we needed to be back for each destination even though the tour is meant to be Japanese only. The English audio guide wasn't working, but we were ok with that. The timing of the tour was accurate so we had plenty of time to catch our flight after.

No one had a license, and transportation was a challenge for sightseeing, but even with a packed itinerary visiting three places, this price is cheap! Since it was a half-day tour, I had time to visit Shuri Castle in the afternoon, making good use of my day. Thank you very much.

誰も免許がなく、観光でまわるのに移動がネックだったんですが、3箇所まわる盛りだくさんな内容なのに、この値段は安いです！半日だったので、午後は首里城に行く時間かでき、1日を有効に使うことができました。ありがとうございました。

I had never been to Sefa Utaki, but I really wanted to go. However, since the transportation options for individual travelers are not very good, I was looking for a tour that could take me there. Fortunately, it worked out perfectly since I could only go for a half-day tour due to my flight schedule on the last day. I had been to Okinawa World and the Himeyuri Peace Museum before, but the museum adjacent to the Himeyuri Tower had been renovated and was completely different from my previous visit, so it felt like a new experience. I also hadn't been to Okinawa World in 16 years, so I barely remembered it. I think these shuttle buses are a great way to efficiently visit places that are hard to reach for individual travelers.

斎場御嶽は、まだ行ったことがなく、どうしても行きたいと思っていたのですが、個人で行くには交通の便が良くないため、そこに行けるツアーを探していました。ただ、最終日で飛行機の時間もあり、半日観光でしか行けないため、ちょうどよかったです。おきなわワールド、ひめゆりの塔は行ったことがあったのですが、ひめゆりの塔に隣接する資料館はリニューアルされていて前に行った時とは全然違っていたので、初めてと同じでよかったです。おきなをワールドも16年も前に行ったきりだったので、ほとんど覚えていなかったです。こういう巡回バスは、個人旅行で交通の便が悪いところを効率よくまわるには、とてもいいと思います。

I was able to efficiently visit inconvenient spots in a short amount of time. I felt it was a cost-effective plan. Since it's possible to get off at Naha Airport, I recommend setting it for the last day of your trip. However, the stay time at each sightseeing spot is relatively short, so those who want to explore in depth may need to consider this.

短時間で交通の不便なスポットを効率的に回る事ができました。コストパフォーマンスの高いプランだと感じました。那覇空港での下車が可能なので旅行最終日の設定がお勧めです。ただ各観光スポットの滞在時間は短めなのでじっくり訪れたい方には一考が必要かと思います。

Me gustó mucho su servicio y conocí mucho de okinawa gracias por ensenarme la cultura de okinawa.

It was cloudy, but it didn't rain, and the forest was incredibly beautiful. The timing was great, and I was able to trek comfortably. The pace was just right, and the guide taught us various things, which was interesting. As a Studio Ghibli fan, there were many exciting points, and it was the best experience. I'm really glad I went to see the unique forest scenery. I definitely want to go again.

曇りだったけど雨は降らず、森はすごく綺麗だった。
時間帯も良く、快適にトレッキングできました。
ペースもちょうど良く、ガイドさんも色々教えてくれて、面白かった。ジブリファンとしては高まるポイントが多々あって最高でした。中々味わえない森の風景で本当に行って良かった。必ずまた行きたい。

Compared to the Jomon Sugi tour, this was a shorter and more accessible tour. Most of the people walking seemed to be individuals, and since the path is straightforward, I think I’ll try walking it myself next time. The scenery is enchanting, and when you reach the top, you can enjoy the stunning view from Taiko Rock, which gives a sense of accomplishment. I was surprised to see a Yakuzaru walking, which I hadn’t seen yesterday. It was the only animal I saw on this trip, and I was really happy about it.

縄文杉ツアーと比べると、歩く距離が短く、お手軽なツアーでした。歩いている方のほとんどは個人で来られているようで、迷うことのない道ですから二回目以降は自分で歩いてみようと思う場所です。景色は幻想的で、上まで登ると太鼓岩からの絶景を見られるので達成感があります。昨日は見られなかったヤクザルが歩いていてびっくりしました。今回の旅で唯一みられた動物でうれしかったです。

I signed up for the tour because it promised a full refund guarantee if whales were not sighted, but the tour representative told me it was not within the refund guarantee period. In reality, I didn't see any whales and received no refund, which feels like being deceived.

クジラが見えない場合は、全額返金保証ありとあって申込みしたのにツアー担当者より返金保証期間ではないとのことでした。実際、クジラは見えず返金もなく騙され感じです。

I traveled alone, but I didn't rent a car. I visited the Sefa Utaki, New Hama Beach, and the Peace Memorial Park, and I was able to get a ride back to the airport, which I think is quite cost-effective!

On the way there, there were three pickup locations, but some people were late, and I feel like we lost about 30 minutes because of that. That was disappointing. However, we arrived at the airport right at 1 PM on the way back, so that was good.

一人旅できたものの、レンタカーは借りずにいました。斎場御嶽、新原ビーチ、ひめゆりの塔と周ってくれて帰りは空港まで送っていただけるのでかなりコスパよし！だと思います。
行きはピックアップが３箇所ありましたが、遅刻したりなんだりの人がいて、結局30分くらいはロスしていた気がします。そこが残念です。帰りは13時ぴったりに空港に到着したので良かったです。

I was able to efficiently sightsee on my first trip to Okinawa. The guide's explanations and personality were very good. At Okinawa World, I couldn't see the Eisa performance, but after visiting the limestone cave, I enjoyed some local beer. It's great that you can choose between the beach and Okinawa World on the day of the tour. We were indecisive until the last minute (laughs). At the Himeyuri Monument, we were in a hurry, but we were able to see the museum as well. The price was reasonable, and it was such a satisfying tour that I would want to do it again.

初めての沖縄旅行で効率よく観光できました。
ガイドさんの説明と人柄がとても良かったです。
おきなわワールドでは、エイサーは見れませんでしたが、
鍾乳洞を見たあと地ビールを堪能しました。
ビーチ・おきなわワールドとコースを当日選択できるのは良いですね。
私たちはぎりぎりまで迷いました（笑）
ひめゆりの塔では急ぎ足でしたが、資料館も見ることができました。
代金も安いですし、リピートしたくなるくらい大満足なツアーでした。

I'm glad the weather improved, but for someone like me who isn't used to being on a boat, the waves seemed quite high. However, despite the height of the waves, the rocking was minimal and it felt safe. The staff took great care of those who were prone to seasickness.

As for the main event, the whale watching, they seemed quite skilled at it and accurately located and communicated the position of the whales.

天気が回復して良かったけれど
船に乗り慣れていない私には波が高かった様に
思われましたが、波の高さの割には揺れも少なく
安全でした。
スタッフが良く船酔いの方の面倒見良く介抱しておられました。

本題のクジラのウオッチングにも長けていられる様で
クジラの位置を的確に捉え伝えてくれました。

We toured the southern region, which is difficult to access without a car, with a friendly female guide. Despite being budget-friendly, the tour provided thorough explanations and covered key destinations, deepening our understanding of southern Okinawa.

感じのよい女性のガイドさんとともに、自動車がないとアクセスしにくい南部方面をめぐりました。格安なのに、きちんと説明や訪問先がおさえられており、沖縄南部への理解が深まったツアーとなりました。

I participated with a group of four girls. I had heard that large cruise ships are less likely to cause seasickness, but two out of the four of us ended up feeling sick and wanted to return to land. Hearing that they were throwing up made me a little happy and boosted my spirits! I was glad to see a new side of my friends!

The whales were cute.

女子４人組みで参加しました。
大型客船なので酔いにくいと聞いていましたが、４人中２人は酔ってしまい、陸に帰りたがっていました。吐いていると聞いてちょっと嬉しくなってしまい、テンションが上がりました！
友達の新しい面を見れて嬉しかったです！

くじらは可愛かったです。

The early morning departure. The forest on the way there and the forest on the way back are completely different, creating a fantastical atmosphere. The journey involves climbing, but since it's guided, the pace is managed, making it very easy.

早朝の出発。行きの森・帰りの森と全く姿が異なる森は、幻想的であった。
道中は登山であるが、ガイド付きであるため、ペース配分をしてくれるので非常に楽である。

It was very convenient to be able to tour in half a day and be taken back to the airport.
Seifu-taki was quite deep in the mountains and the footing was poor.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have enough time to see everything at Okinawa World.
The Okinawa show was great!
At the Himeyuri Monument, I felt the history that should not be forgotten.
All entrance fees were paid on the day.
The prices were low, and considering the transportation costs to the airport, it was a great deal! Highly recommended!
However, the bus driving was not very good, and it was quite bumpy, which made me feel nauseous.

観光が半日で回れて、帰りは空港へ送って頂けるのでとても便利でした。
せーふぅたきはかなり山の中で足元が悪かったです。
おきなわワールドは、時間がなく、全部回れないのが少し残念でした。
沖縄のショーは良かったです！
ひめゆりの塔は、忘れてはいけない歴史が感じられました。
入場料は全て当日支払い。
価格も安く、空港までの交通費を考えたらとてもお得です！オススメ‼️
ただバスの運転があまりよくなくて、かなり揺れて酔いました。

I was moved! It was a different kind of real experience compared to an aquarium! The weather was also favorable, and there was hardly any rocking of the boat!

感動しました！
水族館とは違うリアル感動でした！
天候にも恵まれ船の揺れもほとんどありませんでした！

Thank you for your help. It was pouring rain and the waves were rough, making it difficult to even sit down, and I was really wondering if we would see any whales. But to my surprise!! Whales started appearing here and there. It was truly moving. Thank you very much.

お世話になりました。凄い雨で波が荒くて、座ってるのも大変な中本当にクジラを見れるの かな と 思っていたら､びくっくり！！クジラがあちらこちらで見えて来ました。もう感動 感動でした。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

I had half a day until my flight, so I signed up for this bus tour that included the Sefa Utaki, which I wanted to visit. Unfortunately, it was raining, but Sefa Utaki was beautifully green, and the breeze was pleasant, making it a very comfortable place. I chose the beach option and enjoyed a leisurely meal at a café. Due to the rain and low tide, I couldn't see the beautiful sea, but if it had been sunny, it would have been nice to ride a glass-bottom boat. After moving from the beach, some people got off at Okinawa World for sightseeing, but since I was leaving in the afternoon, I went straight to see the Peace Memorial Park and was dropped off at the airport. I arrived at the airport at 1 PM. This tour is efficient for sightseeing and reasonably priced, so I recommend it for those who want to explore the southern part of Okinawa.

帰りの飛行機まで半日時間があったので、
行きたかった斎場御嶽がコースに入っているこちらのバスツアーに申し込みました。
あいにくの雨でしたが、斎場御嶽は緑が美しく、風が心地よく吹く、とても居心地の良い場所でした。
選択コースはビーチを選び、カフェでゆっくり食事を楽しみました。雨で干潮だったので、綺麗な海は見れませんでしたが、晴れていたらグラスボートに乗ってみるのも良さそうです。ビーチから移動した後、おきなわワールドで下車して観光する人もいましたが、私は午後帰るためそのままひめゆりの塔を見て空港で降ろしてもらいました。空港着が13時。
効率よく観光できて価格も安いので、南部をまわりたい人にはおすすめのツアーです。

It costs over 800 yen one way by route bus from Naha to Sefa Utaki, so it's a good deal.

Since it's inexpensive, the entrance fee is not included.

If you're sightseeing in the morning, you can be taken to the airport, so if your flight is in the afternoon, I think it's a good deal.

I was taken to Kencho-mae, where I ate Shuri Soba and did some sightseeing around Shuri Castle.

那覇から斎場御嶽まで路線バスで片道800円以上掛かりますのでお得です。
安いので入園料は含まれていません。

午前の観光なら、空港へ送ってもらえるので午後の飛行機で時間が合えば
お得だと思います。

私は、県庁前まで送ってもらい、
首里ソバを食べ、首里城周辺の観光をしました。

This time, I decided to take this bus tour for a relaxing experience. The bus tour offered a choice between New Hama Beach and Okinawa World, and since I had never been to the Peace Memorial Park, I signed up. On the day of the tour, it rained, so I gave up on New Hama Beach and went to Okinawa World instead. Seifa Utaki had few tourists and felt mystical. Since it was my second time at Okinawa World, I only watched the Super Eisa performance. I think it's impossible to see the caves, the world, and the Eisa in just one hour. The visit to the Peace Memorial Park also felt rushed. I enjoyed listening to the bus guide's stories, and it was educational. I was disappointed not to go to New Hama Beach, but I would like to sign up again if I have the opportunity. The price was also affordable and easy on the wallet.

今回は、楽をしようとこの、バス旅行を頼みました。この、バス旅行は新原ビーチか沖縄ワールドが選べるしひめゆりの塔は行ったことがないので、申し込みました。当日は、雨で新原ビーチは、諦めて沖縄ワールドにしました。せーふぁうたきは、観光客も少なく神秘的な感じでした。沖縄ワールドは、2回目なので、スーパーエイサーだけを見学しました。多分、鍾乳洞からワールド、エイサーを1時間で見学は、無理だと思います。ひめゆりの塔も駆け足で見学する感じでした。バスガイドさんの話しは、楽しく聞く事でき勉強になりました。新原ビーチに行けなかったのは、残念でしたが又、機会があったら申し込みしたいと思います。値段も安く、財布に優しいですよ。

This was my first visit to Okinawa, so I signed up for this tour that allows you to explore the southern part of Okinawa in half a day. The time spent at each location is a bit short, but it was very convenient to see the highlights of the south in just half a day. On the way back, you return to Naha City via the airport, so you can go straight to your flight. I spent the afternoon sightseeing in Naha City and visiting Shuri Castle.

今回は初めての沖縄訪問だったので，沖縄南部を半日で回れるこのツアーに申し込みました．
各場所の滞在時間は少し短いけど，南部のハイライトを半日で回れるのでとても便利でした．帰りには空港経由で那覇市内に戻るので，そのまま帰りの飛行機に乗るもよし．私は午後は那覇市内・首里城観光に充てました．
