All Reviews for Okinawa Bus Tours

Since both Saijō-ō-taki and the Gangala Valley are difficult to access without a car, I used this tour. Walking in the rain was a bit challenging, but I'm glad I participated. However, I think it's strange that the entrance fee for Saijō-ō-taki is not included in the tour price. With only two locations to visit, is there really anyone who wouldn't want to see this place?

　齊場御嶽もガンガラーの谷も、車がないと行きづらい場所なのでこのツアーを利用しました。
　雨の中歩くのはちょっと大変でしたが、参加できてよかったと思います。
　ただ、斎場御嶽の入場料代がツアー料金に含まれていないのは、おかしいと思います。2か所しか行かないのに、ここの見学をしない人なんている？

We participated in a tour with our three-generation family, including members in their 70s, 40s, and 20s.

We really enjoyed the mangrove cruise and the water buffalo cart ride, as there were plenty of explanations provided, making it a great experience for us first-time visitors.

The itinerary was packed with activities we wanted to experience, and we were satisfied with the price.

We visited in February when the temperature was around 20°C and it was cloudy, so the mangrove cruise felt chilly without a jacket due to the wind.

Having lunch included and being able to return to Ishigaki Island by 2:30 PM was convenient and appreciated.

70代、40代、20代の3世代家族旅行でツアーに参加しました。

マングローブクルーズでも水牛車でもたくさん解説が聞けるので、初めて訪れるわたしたちはとても楽しめました。

体験したい内容がぎゅっとつまっていて、お値段的にも満足です。

訪れたのが2月で気温20℃くもりのお天気で、マングローブクルーズは風を受けるので上着がないと寒く感じました。

昼食付きなのも、14時半に石垣島に戻ってこれるのも楽でよかったです。

It was a one-day tour, but the time allocation was just right, which was great. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I really appreciated it. I will use this service again. Thank you very much.

1日観光でしたが、ちょうど良い時間配分で
良かったです。
バスガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく
利用させていただき本当に良かったです。
また利用させていただきます。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in a morning tour for my afternoon flight. Since I had previously visited Okinawa World, this time I went to the Gyokusendo Cave. This tour was better than I expected, and it was nice to walk slowly through the valley with a guide. Although there were some ups and downs, the path was paved and easy to walk on, so I didn't get tired. The guide was also good at speaking, and the tempo was slow, making it easy to listen. Okinawa World’s limestone cave is great, but Gyokusendo Cave is also wonderful.

午後の飛行機のため午前中のツアーに参加。
以前、おきなわワールドに行ったため、今回はガンカラーの谷へ。
このツアー思った以上に良く、谷の中をゆっくりとガイド付きで歩き回るのがよい。少しアップダウンはあるものの、道が舗装されていて歩きやすく、疲れなかった。
ガイドさんも、話がうまくテンポもゆっくり目で聞きやすかった。
おきなわワールドの鍾乳洞もよいですが、ガンガラーの谷も良いですよ。

This was my first time visiting Ishigaki Island, and I traveled alone. Since I didn't have much time, I chose a sightseeing bus to efficiently tour the island's attractions. I had done some research on the places we would visit, but I think you can enjoy it fully without any preparation since the guide provides information.

For an additional 1,000 yen, there was also time to ride a glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay, and the lunch set allowed me to experience the flavors of Ishigaki Island, which was delicious. I was able to learn about the highlights and history, so I feel it was the best choice for my first visit. (It was cloudy, so if it had been sunny, I would have rated it even higher... I apologize for that since it's something beyond the company's control.) By the way, the tour ended just after 2 PM, allowing me to catch the 3 PM ferry to Taketomi Island.

初めての石垣島観光、一人旅でした。
時間もあまりなかったこともあり、効率的に石垣島の名所を巡れるように定期観光バスを選択しました。
事前にどこをまわるかもわかっているので、それなりに下調べもしましたが、ガイドさんが案内してくれるので、何も準備しなくても十分に楽しめると思います。
１０００円のオプションになりますが、川平湾のグラスボートに乗る時間もあり、石垣島の味力を感じる昼食もセットなのもおいしいですね。
見どころや歴史なども学ぶことができるので、初めての訪問にはベストな選択だったと感じています。（くもりの天気だったので、もし晴れていたら最高評価です・・会社の力で変えられない”てん”なので申し訳ありませんが）
ちなみに２時すぎに終了するので、３時の船で竹富島にも渡ることができました。

The water buffalo tour was great, and I really enjoyed the slow pace of Taketomi. The guide's performance on the sanshin was also excellent and fun, so next time I want to rent a bicycle and explore the island's surroundings and see the star sand on the beach. The townscape is also very soothing.

水牛ツアーは、とても、竹富のゆっくり時間を堪能出来て良かったです
ガイドさんの三線も、上手で楽しかったので、今度は、自転車を借りて島の周囲とか浜の星の砂を見に行きたいと思います。
街並みも、癒されます。

I think the admission fee is cheap, including everything. The sightseeing spots are great! The guide was also good! It's just a shame about the weather.

入館料金も含まれての料金、安いと思います。
見学の場所も良い！ガイドさんも良い！
ただ、天気だけが残念でした(⁠个⁠_⁠个⁠)

I really liked that we could visit various spots in just one day! I think it was a great deal that the bus fare, aquarium admission ticket, Pineapple Park entrance fee, Manzamo entrance ticket, and souvenir coupons were all included for 7,000 yen. It was a lot of fun!!

However, there were some issues with the bus guide's equipment, as the audio would cut out at times. It was a bit inconvenient when they were announcing the meeting times and important information about using the bus. If the cost includes the bus guide, I think they should ensure the equipment is charged and well-maintained.

1日で色んなスポットを回れる点が非常に良かった！バスの運行費、水族館入館券、パイナップルパーク入園料、万座毛入場券、お土産のクーポンが7000円に含まれているのが本当にお得だったと思う。非常に楽しかった！！

ただバスガイド用の機器が不調で音声が途切れるところがあった。案内はともかく集合時間やバス利用の際の注意事項をアナウンスしている時もあったので少し不便だった。バスガイド代が費用に含まれているのなら充電と整備は行なっておくべきだと思う。

The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy the tour. At Cape Hedo, I could see all the way to Okierabu Island. I also got to see the Yanbaru Kuina taking a bath, and it was a very good day.

天気も良く、ツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。辺戸岬では沖伊良部島まで見ることが出来ました。ヤンバルクイナの水浴びも見られたし、とても良い1日でした。

In Okinawa, I was able to feel the charm of Ishigaki and the surrounding islands, and I was amazed by the power and strength of the water buffalo. I felt it was a tour I would like to experience again.

沖縄、石垣、離島の風情を感じることができ、水牛の迫力と力強さには驚きました。また、体験したいツアーだと感じました。

At first, we were given tickets and just moved in order, so it was very easy, straightforward, and we could enjoy the sightseeing smoothly without waiting.

In terms of content, we could see the mangroves well, crossed the sea on a water buffalo, and surprisingly, the food was delicious, which was great.

This time, we traveled with a group of tourists. They talked a lot, laughed loudly, and during the water buffalo ride, they played the sanshin and started singing. We had to wait because we couldn't gather at the meeting time, which delayed the arrival of other guests at their destination, Taketomi Island (although we didn't have that plan).

If we had been with people of the same age, we might have talked, but for us, it was a negative point.

I thought this plan was aimed at group tourism.

It's for those who don't want to move around much. We would have preferred to do the mangrove kayaking instead.

最初にチケットを渡され　順番に移動していくだけなのでとても簡単で、分かりやすく、待つこともなくスムーズに観光できました。
内容的にはマングローブもよく見えて、水牛で海を渡り、意外とご飯も美味しくて、良かったです。
今回私達は団体旅行客と一緒に回りました。とにかく　よくしゃべり、大声で笑う、水牛の時は三線を弾いてくれたのに、歌い出す。
集合時間に集合できず待たされる。その為他のお客さんの目的地　竹富島到着が遅れていた。（私達は行かないプランですが）
同じ年代の人達ならお話もしたかもしれませんが、私達にはマイナスポイントでした。

こちらのプランは団体向けの観光だと思いました。

あまり動きたくない人向けです。私達ならマングローブカヤックにすれば良かったです。

It was great to efficiently tour Ishigaki Island without renting a car, while also being able to sightsee and enjoy meals. The bus guide provided detailed information that helped me understand Ishigaki Island better, which I wouldn't have known on my own. Even in January, the blue sea and blue sky of Ishigaki Island were amazing.

レンタカーを借りずに石垣島を効率よく一周回れて、観光もできて、食事もできて良かったです
個人で回ってもわからないようなことをバスガイドさんが詳しく教えてくださるので石垣島の事がよくわかります
１月でも石垣島の青い海と青い空は最高でした

It was great to leisurely and efficiently visit the island's attractions with a charming guide who spoke with a smile. Not only did we see the tourist spots, but we also received explanations about various places on the island that we wouldn't have known about on our own, which felt like a great value.

For lunch, we enjoyed Ishizaka beef hamburgers and Miminga at a restaurant with a nice view, and everything was very delicious.

Lastly, we got to listen to some sanshin songs, which made for wonderful memories. I highly recommend it! ❣️

笑顔語り口魅力的なガイドさんとのんびり、しかも無駄なく効率的に島の名所を回れてとても良かったです。観光地だけでなく、自分達で回るのでは知り得ない島内の随所の説明もありお得感満載。
昼食は眺めのよい店で石坂牛ハンバーグ、ミミンガ等土地の食べ物網羅されとても美味しかったです。
最後に三線の唄も聞けとてもよい思い出となりました。オススメします❣️

If you're planning to explore Sefa Utaki thoroughly, I recommend wearing sneakers that allow you to walk quickly. The path is made of stones and has some slopes, so you need to be careful with your footing as it can be dangerous. It's understandable since it's a sacred site rather than just a tourist spot. I was glad it was sunny, but I thought that if it were rainy, you should be cautious about slipping on the stone paths. Considering the distance from the bus parking lot, you need to walk briskly to have enough time to see everything. Since it's a half-day tour, it's important to prioritize what you want to see.

Next, Okinawa World’s Gyokusendo Cave was amazing. It was on a scale I've never seen before, both internationally and within Japan. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been; it offers an otherworldly experience. I spent so much time there that I mostly skipped the events above ground. If I had walked more efficiently, I could have enjoyed the mongoose and habu exhibits and had a more fulfilling tour, but I took my time. I would love to participate again someday.

斎場御嶽はしっかり見学しようと思ったらサッサと歩けるスニーカーがおすすめです。
石を敷き詰めた小道で勾配もあるので足元気をつけて歩かないとあぶないこともあります。
観光地としてよりも聖地なのだから仕方ないですが。
晴天でよかったですが雨だと石畳の小径は滑らないよう注意した方がいいかなと思いました。バス駐車場からの距離も考え早めの足取りでないと全部みる時間はありません。半日ツアーなので仕方ありません。みたいものの優先順位決めておくといいです。
次に沖縄ワールドの玉泉洞最高でした。海外でも日本国内でも今迄見たことのないほどのスケールの場所でした。行った事のない人に是非見てもらいたい異次元の感動が得られます。
ここで時間とってしまったので地上のイベントはほとんどスルーしてしまいました。
もっと要領よく歩けばマングースとハブや民族的な所も楽しめて充実したツアーを体験できたのにゆっくりしてしまいました。いつかまた参加してみたいと思いました。

The guide's tips on how to enjoy each destination and stories related to Okinawa were helpful and enjoyable. It was windy and cold near the sea. Food was being sold at various locations. The Hikan cherry blossoms were also in bloom. I'm glad we took the bus since it would have taken over two hours to drive from Naha.

ガイドさんの、各行き先での楽しみ方や沖縄にまつわるお話がためになり、楽しかったです。
海の近くは風が強くて寒かったです。
各所で食べ物を販売していました。
ヒカン桜も咲いていました。
那覇から車で行ったら2時間以上運転しないといけないのでバスで行って良かったです。

It was a tour that balanced both the great nature of Yanbaru and its challenges. There was a proper explanation of each sightseeing spot in advance, and thanks to the unique and friendly explanations from the guides, I was able to enjoy the experience even more with a background knowledge.

やんばるの大自然と課題、両方をバランス良く詰め込んで頂いたツアーでした。各観光地の事前説明もきちんとあり、観光地の説明員さんの個性的でフレンドリーな説明のおかげで背景知識を持った上でより一層楽しめました。

It was great to efficiently tour each island while hitting all the key points. I recommend it for those who may have concerns about their stamina or are visiting the islands for the first time.

各島、ポイントを押さえて効率良く周遊できて良かったです。体力に不安な方や初めての島巡りにおすすめです。

I participated with my mother on our first trip to Okinawa. Since I had only been to the Churaumi Aquarium before, it was also my first experience at Manza Beach and the "Submarine Jr. II," which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but we could explore the submarine without getting wet even in the rain, and we saw sea turtles. We were able to take our time at the Churaumi Aquarium, but we got caught up with a group of school trip students at the souvenir shop, which delayed our checkout, so I gave up on buying souvenirs. Therefore, if you want to buy souvenirs, it might be better to go for checkout early.

初沖縄の母と一緒に参加しました。私自身も美ら海水族館しか行ったことがなかったので、万座毛や万座ビーチの「サブマリンJｒⅡ」も初体験で楽しめました。あいにくのお天気でしたが、サブマリンは雨でも濡れずに見学できますし、ウミガメも見えました。美ら海水族館は比較的ゆっくり見れましたが、お土産売り場で修学旅行生の団体とバッティングしお会計が進まず、お土産は諦めました。なので、お土産を買いたい方は早めにお会計に行かれる方が良いかもしれませんね。

If you're looking for a purpose like the one mentioned in the title, it might be a good opportunity to participate. Although the schedule is a bit tight, if you see it as packed with activities, it’s not a bad thing. Personally, it was a valuable opportunity to see the Okinawa rail.

タイトルに書いたような目的なら参加してみるのもいい機会かもしれません。予定がややタイトなきらいはありますが、盛り沢山と捉えれば悪くはありません。
個人的には、やんばるくいなをみることができた、貴重な機会でした。

I had a great time. The guide was very experienced and explained things while occasionally playing the sanshin. It was a sunny day, so the scenery was fantastic, and there were moments when the guide took photos for us. The optional glass-bottom boat ride was also wonderful; the sea was very beautiful, and we were able to see sea turtles and coral.

とても楽しかったです。ガイドさんがとても慣れた方で、ところどころ三線も引きながら説明してくださいました。この日は晴れていたので景色も最高で、ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくださる場面もありました。オプションで乗ったグラスボートも、海がとても綺麗でウミガメや珊瑚なども見ることができました。

There were 10 participants on the tour, and since we had a large bus, the seats were spacious. The tour guide did not accompany us, but the tour conductor provided information about the sightseeing spots, and it was enjoyable thanks to their extensive knowledge. There were also foreign participants, but the tour conductor explained everything in fluent English, so we were able to gather and tour on time without any issues. The weather was cloudy with strong winds and occasional rain, but I was glad we could see all the sights. It's a pity that if the weather had been better, we could have seen even more wonderful views, but I would like to participate again for a revenge tour.

ツアー参加者は１０名で大型バスだったので座席はゆったりでした。
バスガイドさんは同乗せずに添乗員さんが観光地の案内などしてくれましたが、知識豊かで楽しく過ごせました。
外国人の方もいましたが、添乗員さんが流暢な英語で説明していたので集合なども問題なく時間通りに観光できました。
当日は曇っていて風が強く時々雨が降る天候でしたがひと通り観光できて良かったです。
天候が良ければもっと素晴らしい景色を見られたと思うと残念ですが、またリベンジでまた参加したいと思います。

Since I was traveling alone and didn't have a car, I was glad to be able to visit many tourist spots in a short amount of time. Both the guide and the driver were great, and I had a lot of fun.

ひとり旅だったので、車もないし、短い時間で、
沢山の観光地を回ってもらって良かったです。
ガイドさんも運転手さんもとても良かった、楽しかったです

I was able to spend time very leisurely, forgetting about the clock.

It was great that there were many local dishes prepared for lunch.

I recommend exploring Taketomi Island by renting a bicycle.

時間を忘れてとてものんびりと過ごせました。

お昼ごはんは郷土料理がたくさん用意されていて良かったです。

竹富島はレンタサイクルで巡るのをオススメします。

The guide's thoughtfulness was wonderful, and I had a great time wherever we went! If I have the opportunity to go to Okinawa again, I would like to rely on their services once more.

ガイドさんの気遣いが素晴らしく、何処に行っても楽しかったです！また沖縄に行く機会があったらまたお世話になりたいと思います。

We participated as a family. It was amazing. The aquarium and Kouri Island were particularly great. The additional meals were delicious as well. If I have the chance, I will definitely join again. I highly recommend this course.

家族で参加しました。最高でした。水族館と古宇利島は特に良かったです。追加での食事も美味しかったです。機会があればまた、参加させて頂きます。
是非お勧めのコースです。

If you get separated a little, the person in charge will change depending on the location, so be careful. It might be difficult for those who are not used to it, but I think the content is good. Those who have trouble keeping up should be cautious.

ちょっとはぐれると代わる代わるだから場所で担当変わるし気をつけて、なれない人は無理かも、内容は良いと思います。飲み込み悪い方は気を付けて

We were blessed with warm weather and no wind. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it was very delicious. The guide sang several songs, and the snake lute was wonderful. I would like to participate again.

温暖で、風も無く良い天候に恵まれました。
昼食も期待してませんでしたが、大変美味しいかったです。ガイドさんが何曲も歌ってくれて、蛇三線も素晴らしかったです。又参加したいです。

It was a very cold day with occasional rain, but traveling by bus was easy. Along the way, I enjoyed listening to the audio guide, which provided explanations at various points, making it enjoyable even on my own. I believe it was when we passed over the Kouri Bridge, and the driver slowed down so we could take in the scenery properly.

時折雨も降りとても寒い日でしたが、バスでの移動で楽々でした。
道中、音声ガイドで所々解説を聞きながら進むので、ひとりでも十分楽しめました。
古宇利大橋通過時だったと思いますが、ゆっくり速度を落として通過してくださったので、しっかりと景色を見ることができました。

Although the weather was bad, the guide sang many songs and the stories were enjoyable, making for a wonderful time. I was concerned about my companion's footing, but I was grateful for the utmost consideration shown.

天候が悪かったのですが、ガイドさんが歌をたくさん歌ってくれ、話の内容も楽しくとても素晴らしいひと時を過ごしました。連れの足元に不安があったのですが、最大限の配慮をしてくださりありがたかったです。

It was a trip for two with my husband. We were able to relax, and the experience was rich. We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy the laid-back warmth of Okinawa.

主人との二人旅でした。のんびりできて、内容は豊富でした。
天気にも恵まれ沖縄のゆったりとした温かさを体験できました。
