All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

The captain was great at predicting where the diving whales would surface next! Even while the whales were submerged, I enjoyed the guide's stories. The staff was well-equipped, and everyone was very friendly; their handling of seasickness was excellent.

潜ったクジラが次に出てくる場所を予想するのが上手な船長さんでした！
クジラが潜っている間もガイドさんのお話のおかげで楽しめました。
スタッフが充実していて、とにかく皆さん感じが良く、船酔いへの対応も素晴らしかったです。

I was very grateful for the kindness of the driver. During our trip with my elderly parents and children, he even assisted my mother, who has weak legs, with getting in and out of the vehicle.

The weather was bad when we were heading to the Churaumi Aquarium, and although the weather was good when we were going to Kouri Island, we had to give up on that due to traffic. However, it was the driver who asked, "There’s over 10 km of traffic ahead, what would you like to do? Should we go somewhere else?" If he hadn't said anything, I think we would have run out of time due to the traffic.

Not wanting to just head back, the driver cleverly suggested stopping by Manzamo, which is on the way to the hotel. I truly appreciate all the help.

I especially recommend this for those who want to enjoy Okinawa at a leisurely pace with three generations!

運転手さんが、とても優しい人で有難かったです。
高齢の父と母、子供達と私達夫婦3世代での旅行で、足の弱い母の乗り降りの介助までしてくれました。
美ら海水族館へ向かう時は天気が悪く、古宇利島へ向かう時は、天気は良いけど渋滞で移動は断念。でも、それは運転手さんが「あと10km以上渋滞が続くけどどうしますか？他の場所へ行きましょうか？」と声を掛けてくれたからです。声をかけてくれなかったら渋滞で時間オーバーになっていたと思います。
ただ、帰るだけでは…と運転手さんが機転を利かせてくれて、ホテルへ向かう途中にある万座毛へ寄っていただきました。本当にお世話になり、ありがとうございました。
3世代で沖縄をゆっくり堪能されたい方は特にオススメします！

This was my second time using the service. I thought I would just enjoy the view from the window due to time constraints, but I was taken to the observation deck, and on the way back, I was guided to spots I hadn't planned to visit. I had a great time. Thank you very much!

２回目の利用。
時間的に厳しいかなと思い、車窓から眺めるだけの予定でいたところ展望台まで連れて行っていただき、帰り道には予定のなかったスポットにも案内いただき、とても楽しめました。本当にありがとうございました。

It was a great opportunity to enjoy a view of the sea in Ishigaki Island, have a delicious lunch, and exchange information with the people I met there. The guide's sanshin performance and singing were also wonderful. I made great memories.

石垣島の海を一望したり美味しいお昼を食べたり、そこで出会えた方と情報交換できたりいい機会でした。ガイドさんの三線と歌も良かったです。良い思い出ができました。

It was just as I expected from the bus tour. It was neither good nor bad. If the course suits your preferences, I don't think there will be any issues.

予想していた通りのバスツアーでした。
可もなく不可もなくと言う感じでした。
コース的にお好みであれば問題はないと思いますよ。

I went in mid-March. Since it wasn't yet the hot season, I was told that the coconut crabs wouldn't be very active, but thanks to our guide, we found one about five minutes into the tour, which was exciting! After that, everyone in the tour had fun spotting three more crabs, as well as finding hermit crabs and geckos, which really got us all excited.

Looking up, we were able to see a beautiful starry sky that we usually can't see, which was very soothing, and we were surprised by quite a large fruit bat. In the end, we were even sent off by an owl, which is rarely seen, making it a very satisfying tour.

I experienced excitement and emotions that I can’t find in my daily life. Thank you very much.

３月半ばに行きました。
まだ暑い季節ではないので、ヤシガニが活発に動き出す時期ではないとの事でしたが、ツアー開始５分くらいで、ヤシガニさんを見つけたのは、感激＆ガイドさんのおかげです♪
その後も、ツアー参加の皆さんと、あそこにいる〜いない〜等と楽しみながらまた３匹も見れた上に、オカヤドカリやヤモリを見つけて大盛りあがりしたり。
上を見上げれば、普段は見れないキレイな星空がたくさん見れて癒やされたり、けっこう大きいフルーツバット(コウモリ)にビックリしたり。
最後は、滅多に見れない？フクロウが見送ってくれたりと、大盛り大満足なツアーでした。

日常では絶対味わえない、ワクワクや感動を貰えました。ありがとうございました。

This was our second trip to Okinawa with our child. During our first trip, we used a bus tour, but I have memories of it being quite challenging with a small child.

This time, I applied for a 6-hour private plan with VELTRA.

The female driver had prepared snacks for the kids, and my son was very happy to receive them. Even when he got fussy in the car, it was great that there were no other customers, so choosing this private option was definitely the right decision.

We didn't have a lunch plan, but we were taken to a famous Okinawa soba restaurant nearby. We were also taken to the beach, and even though we got covered in sand, the driver kindly helped wipe my son's legs, which was a huge help for traveling with a child. I will definitely use this service again when I go to Okinawa.

今回2回目の子供との沖縄旅行。
1回目はバスツアーを使ったりしていたが、なかなか小さい子供連れには大変な記憶があり

今回はVELTRAさんで6時間貸切プランが出ていたので申し込みさせていただきました。

女性運転手の方は、子供にお菓子を用意していてくれて、息子もそのお菓子をいただき嬉しそうでした。途中車内でグズっても、他のお客さんがいないので、こちらの貸切を選んで良かったです。

ランチはノープランでしたが、付近で有名な沖縄そばに連れて行っていただきました。
また、海にも連れて行っていただき、砂だらけでしたが、一緒に息子の脚を拭いていただいたりと、優しく、子連れ旅にはすごく助かりました。
また沖縄行く際は利用します。

The area without streetlights leading to the meeting point becomes really dark, and I felt scared for the first time in a while, but the starry sky was beautiful and moving. The weather wasn't very good, and I was wondering how it would turn out, but the island's weather changes quickly. I was able to time it just right to capture the starry sky peeking through the clouds and take some wonderful photos! I also received the data, which made for a great memory!!

集合場所まで街灯が無いエリアは本当に真っ暗になるので、久しぶりに怖いと思いましたが、星空が綺麗に見えて感動しました。
あまり天気が良くなくて、どうなるかと思いましたが、島のお天気は変わるのも早くて、雲から星空が出るタイミングをはかって、素敵な写真を撮っていただけました！
データも貰えて、とても良い思い出になりました!!

Since I participated during the holiday period of spring break, it was crowded in various places. However, the scheduled time was just right, and I was generally able to visit the places I wanted to see. Additionally, the guide's atmosphere was very pleasant, and the explanations were interesting, so I was able to spend the bus time without getting bored.

参加したのが春休み期間の休日ということもあり、各地混雑していました。ですが、設定時間が程よく、見たいと考えていたところは概ね見て回ることができました。
またガイドの方の雰囲気がとても良く、説明も興味深かったためバスの時間も退屈せず過ごすことができました。

Fortunately, I was able to meet a lot of people. It was a bit far, but I was able to see a lot.
I recommend filming videos, but if you're not very skilled with a camera, it's better to leave it to the professionals and focus on enjoying the experience.
I thought I would see more during the winter, but I heard that in March, towards the end of the season, you can encounter quite a bit.
It's essential to have significant measures against seasickness. Just taking motion sickness medication is not enough, and I felt sorry for my son who came with me. I think the adults managed their own measures, but it was quite chaotic.
However, despite that discomfort, I'm glad I was able to see it!

幸いなことに、たくさん出会えることができました。少し遠かったのは残念でしたが、いっぱい見れました。
動画撮影はおすすめですが、カメラは余程の腕がない方は、もうプロにお任せして、見ることに専念する方が良いです(^^)v
冬の時期の方が見れるかと思いましたが、シーズン終わりかけの3月は結構遭遇できるとのことです。
かなりかなりの船酔い対策は必須です。酔い止めだけでは難しく、一緒に行った息子にはかわいそうなことをしました。大人の方もそれなりに対策されたと思いますが、バタバタと。。
ただ、その苦痛があっても見れて良かったです！！

On the day of participation, it was cloudy from the morning, and I felt disappointed thinking that I wouldn't be able to see the starry sky. However, by night, it cleared up a bit, and I was able to see beautiful stars!

Additionally, I got to see creatures like fireflies and coconut crabs that I normally wouldn't encounter. I was taken to places I couldn't go on my own, making this stay a memorable experience. I wasn't able to take good photos myself, but later, I received some beautiful pictures. I'm grateful to the guide who took care of us. Thank you very much.

参加日は、朝から曇で、星空は期待できないなと残念な気持ちで参加したのですが、夜になったら、少し晴れて、きれいな星を見ることができました！
また、ホタルやヤシガニ等、普段見ることのできない生物をみることもできました。
自分たちではいけないところに連れて行ってもらえて、今回の滞在では、一便の思い出になりました。自分ではうまく写真が取れませんでしたが、後できれいな写真も送ってもらえました。お世話になったガイドさんに感謝です。ありがとうございました。

Although it was sunny, I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars due to the many clouds, but I was deeply moved by the sky, which looked like a perfect planetarium. I was able to see constellations that I usually can't see and heard many stories related to them. I also saw creatures like firefly larvae, geckos, and hermit crabs, and had the experience of touching a snake. I hoped to see a coconut crab, and when I learned that the weather forecast predicted rain early the next day, which created perfect humidity conditions, I was successful in seeing one. I was surprised to hear that locals eat coconut crabs when fishing is allowed. I had a wealth of experiences and truly created wonderful memories. I'm glad I participated.

晴れてはいましたが雲が多かったので星が見えるかどうか心配していましたが、満点のプラネタリウムのような星空でとても感動しました。普段見られない星座も見られ、星座にまつわるお話もたくさん聞けました。生き物では蛍の幼虫やヤモリ、ヤドカリを見られ、ヘビを触る体験もできました。そして念願のヤシガニが見れるといいなと思っていたら、翌日未明が雨予報という絶好の湿度条件も重なり、見ることに成功。地元の人は漁が解禁になればヤシガニを食べるという話には驚きました。盛りだくさんの体験ができて本当に楽しい思い出が作れました。参加してよかったです。

I used this tour for my graduation trip from university. Due to weather conditions, the Blue Cave tour was changed to the Phantom Island, but it was a very fulfilling activity where I could fully enjoy the nature of Ishigaki Island. Since we received the photos taken by the guide during the tour, we were able to capture plenty of memories without needing to bring a waterproof camera. Since I participated in March, the temperature wasn't very warm, and it was a bit chilly on the boat, so I think it would be comfortable to bring a long-sleeved jacket that you don't mind getting wet if you participate around March.

大学の卒業旅行で本ツアーを利用しました。
天候の都合で青の洞窟ツアーから幻の島に変更になりましたが、石垣島の自然を満喫することができるとても充実したアクティビティでした。
ツアー中ガイドの方が撮影した写真をデータを受け取る事ができるため防水カメラなどを持参しなくても、十分に思い出を写真に残す事ができました。
今回3月に参加したこともあり気温はそこまで暖かくなかったため、船の上は少し肌寒かったので、3月ごろに参加される際は濡れてもいい長袖の上着等を持っていくと快適に過ごせるかと思います。

The weather was great, and we were able to visit many places. The guide was very polite, and we had a wonderful time! I think it's a great deal to visit so many places in one day for this price!

天候にも恵まれて、たくさんの場所を回れて、ガイドさんもとても丁寧な方で、とても楽しく過ごせました！
一日でこんなに回れてこのお値段は安いと思います！

I was able to ride in a leisurely cart pulled by a water buffalo, and along the way, I listened to the music of the sanshin, which refreshed my spirit. I want to go again.

のんびりした水牛が引く車に乗せていただき、途中サンシン（？）の音楽を聴かせていただきながら、心を洗わせていただきました。
また、行きたいです。

I was able to ride the water buffalo cart twice! It was great to enjoy the atmosphere of the southern island while listening to the shamisen. Personally, I really liked Yufu Island. The water buffalo I got to touch was so cute!

水牛車に2回も乗れました！
三味線聞きながら、南の島の雰囲気があじわえてよかったです。個人的には由布島が良かったです。触れる水牛さんが可愛いかった！

I was able to efficiently visit must-see spots in Okinawa, such as Cape Manzamo, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Additionally, the tour price was reasonable, so I think it's a tour I can recommend to anyone.

万座毛や古宇利島、美ら海水族館など沖縄を訪れたら必ず行きたいスポットを効率よく回ることができた。また、ツアーの値段もお手ごろなので、誰にでもオススメできるツアーだと思った。

I participated because I wanted to see the wildlife and starry sky of Ishigaki Island. However, it was cold on the day of the event, and unfortunately, it was cloudy with occasional rain, so I couldn't see the stars or the wildlife, which was disappointing. But the guide shared various stories, so I still enjoyed myself. I would like to participate again in the summer.

石垣島の生き物や星空を見たくて参加しました。
しかし当日は寒くあいにく曇りで時々雨で、星も生き物も見れなくて残念でしたが、ガイドさんが色々なお話をしてくれたので楽しめました。
夏にまた参加したいです。

This bus tour is quite a bargain. The bus guide entertained us during the trip. The Sefa Utaki was sacred and beautiful, and we also enjoyed Okinawa World! I wish we had an extra 30 minutes at Okinawa World.

このバスツアーはかなりお得。バスガイドさんが移動中も楽しませてくれた。斎場御嶽も神聖で良かったしおきなわワールドも楽しめた！あと30分おきなわワールドの時間があったら良かったかな？

The bus guide was really great, providing insights about the highlights and the area, as well as recommendations for food. If you're planning a long-distance trip for a day, bus tours are definitely a good option!

見どころや地域の解説、おすすめの食べ物のお話しなど、バスガイドさんがとても良かった。日帰りで長距離移動するなら、バス観光もありだな！

The first half of the canoeing was with university students who were doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It had been a while since I last went canoeing, but they took a lot of photos and provided various explanations about nature, making it a very valuable experience.

For lunch, we were dropped off near Euglena Mall and had the freedom to eat until the designated time.

During the second half, we headed to the Blue Cave, and I was worried about whether we could experience it due to the heavy rain on the way there. However, by the time we arrived, it had turned into light rain, and although it was cold, we were able to enjoy the experience. They also took many photos here.

If I had to mention something, I was a bit disappointed that there weren't as many fish as I expected, possibly due to the season or the rain. But since this is nature, it can't be helped.

Overall, it was a fun experience.

前半のカヌーは、SUPの大学生と一緒でした。
久しぶりのカヌーでしたが、写真もいっぱい撮ってくださり
自然の説明も色々してもらったりで、大変貴重な体験となりました。

お昼は、ユーグレナモール近辺で降ろしてもらい、時間まで自由に食事を
とってくださいというスタイルでした。

後半の青の洞窟は、向かう最中が、めちゃくちゃ豪雨だったため
体験できるか心配でしたが、現地に着くころは小雨になっており
寒い中でしたが、体験することができました。
ここでも写真をいっぱい撮っていただきました。

しいていえば、時期的なものか、雨が降ったからかはわかりませんが
思ったより、魚がいなかったのが残念でした。
こればっかりは自然のものなので、仕方ありません。

トータルとしても、楽しかったです。

I was lucky to be the only participant that day, so I received one-on-one instruction from the instructor, Komecchi-kun, and was able to swim at my own pace. I got to take lots of photos and videos swimming with sea turtles! ♡

It was my first time in Miyako Island, and I was very satisfied to see so many sea turtles. There were about seven, and at one point, I was able to see three at once, which surprised me!

It was also my first time swimming at Shinjo Beach, but since it was shallow, I could enjoy it without fear. There were also cute fish, making it perfect for snorkeling beginners. The availability of a simple shower was great too. I think it was 100 yen for four minutes? You can change there, which is nice for women. I’m thinking of bringing shampoo and body soap next time.

I will definitely go swimming at Shinjo Beach again! ♡

たまたま参加者が私だけの日だったので、インストラクターのこめっちくんにマンツーマンで教えてもらいながら自分のペースで泳がせてもらえて、ウミガメと一緒に泳いでる写真や動画を沢山撮ってもらえてラッキーでした♡

初めての宮古島で沢山のウミガメに会えて大満足です。7匹くらいいて一度に3匹見れるタイミングもあって、こんなにいるの！と驚きました。

新城海岸で泳ぐのも初めてでしたが、浅いので恐怖心なく楽しめたし、可愛いお魚もいたのでシュノーケリング初心者には最高でした。
簡易シャワーがあるのも良かったです。100円で4分だったかな？そこで着替えられるし女性には嬉しい。今度シャンプーとかボディソープ持って行っちゃおうと思いました。

絶対また新城海岸に泳ぎに行きます♡

I was pulled by a water buffalo across the shallow sea from Iriomote Island to Yufu Island. It was my first time on a water buffalo cart! Although the buffalo was large, I worried if it would be okay with about 18 people on the cart. However, it pulled us strongly, and according to the guide and driver, the buffalo loves to move in the water the most.

Along the way, the guide played "Asadoya Yunta" on the sanshin, which made me feel very warm and happy as I swayed in the water buffalo cart. Yufu Island is a cute island with a somewhat ruined and rough feel, but I accepted it as it is, and I was thrilled by the sign for the yellow Iriomote wildcat!

I was also delighted to see many unique mangrove forests during the mangrove tour. The lunch bento was filled with Okinawan-style side dishes, which made me very satisfied.

I think it was great to participate in this tour where I could see various places.

Next time, I would like to try trekking on Iriomote Island.

海の浅瀬を水牛に引いてもらって西表島から由布島へ渡りました。初めての水牛車‼️大きな水牛ではありましたが車に乗るのが18人ほどで本当に牛さんは大丈夫なのだろうかと心配になりました。しかし力強く引いてくれ、ガイド兼運転手のおじさんの話では水牛は水の中で動くのが一番好きなんだとか。
途中からおじさんが三線で「安里屋ゆんた」を弾いてくれ、とても優しい気持ちになりながら水牛車に揺られ楽しかったです。
由布島はかわいい島でやや廃墟がかった感じと雑な感じもありますが、それはそう言うものだと納得し、黄色のイリオモテヤマネコの看板に感激しました❣️
マングローブ遊覧も変わったマングローブの林をたくさん見れて嬉しかったです。
お昼のお弁当も沖縄らしいおかずがいっぱいで満足でした。

いろいろなところが見れて盛りだくさんのツアーで参加して良かったと思います。

次回は西表島でトレッキングもやってみたいです。

The Okinawan dance I saw for the first time was amazing. I was moved watching the young girls dance powerfully with smiles on their faces. If you come to Okinawa, definitely go see it. It's an unforgettable experience.

初めて見た沖縄踊りすごく良かったです。若い女の子達が力強く、笑顔で踊ってるの観て感動しました。沖縄に来たら是非観に行ってください。一緒忘れない体験です。

I've visited Okinawa many times, but I had never experienced this before, so this time I signed up for this tour with hotel pick-up in Naha City!

I was worried because it was raining in the afternoon, but by the time we set sail, it was beautifully sunny, with no wind and calm waves, so I had no worries about seasickness at all!

In the first half of the tour, we didn't see any whales at all, and just when I was starting to give up, we spotted a blow (spout) in the distance, and thanks to the captain chasing it at full speed, we were able to see it up close!

I didn't get to see it jump dramatically, but just encountering it was moving!

According to the guide, we were able to see six whales. They all looked the same to me, but I learned that the patterns on their tails are different!

It was a great experience!

何度も訪れている沖縄
一度も体験したことがなかったので、今回那覇市内ホテル送迎付きでこちらのツアーに申し込みしました！

午後便で、雨が降ったりで心配でしたが、出航時には見事に晴れて、風もなく波も穏やかで、船酔いの心配は全くありませんでした！

ツアー前半は全くクジラの姿がなく、少し諦めてた矢先、ブロー(潮吹き)が遠くの方で見えて、船長が全速力で追いかけてくれたおかげで、近くで見ることが出来ました！

豪快にジャンプする姿は見れませんでしたが、遭遇出来ただけでも感動しました！

ガイドさん曰く、6頭ものクジラに会えたそう
私には全てが同じに見えましたが、尾びれの模様が違うことを教えてくれました！

いい経験になりました！

As a beginner, I was able to enjoy the experience thanks to the kind instruction from the instructor! Not only did we have the activity, but we also had enjoyable conversations about Okinawa in the car, creating a fun atmosphere throughout. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I was able to see various fish, and the instructor provided explanations while sharing different stories about them. It was my first time on a canoe, and I had an extraordinary experience in the magnificent nature.

初心者でしたが、インストラクターの方が優しく教えてくださったので楽しむことができました！アクティビティの体験だけでなく、車内での雑談でも沖縄についてのお話をしてくださって、終始楽しい雰囲気のなか楽しめました。残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでしたが、色々な魚を見ることができ、こちらについても様々な話を交えながら解説してくださりました。カヌーは初めて乗りましたが、雄大な自然の中、非日常的な体験ができました。

I participated in this tour because I really wanted to see wild coconut crabs on Ishigaki Island. I was worried about whether I would be able to see them since the temperature was a bit chilly, but the guide seriously searched for them, and I was able to see the wild coconut crabs I had longed for! Wild individuals are truly beautiful!!

The guide was very kind and funny, sharing many local stories. I joined the tour on the night before my last day on Ishigaki Island, but I think those with more time could participate earlier and visit recommended spots.

I was struggling to find a place for dinner, but on the way back, the guide recommended a great izakaya, and I decided to check it out! The tempura of pandanus fruit and the jimami tofu were the best! Thank you for sharing so much information! I will definitely join this tour again when I visit Ishigaki Island!

石垣島でどうしても野生のヤシガニが見たく参加しました。
気温も肌寒いくらいで見れるか不安でしたがガイドさんが真剣に探してくださり念願の野生のヤシガニ見ることができました！
やっぱり野生個体は美しい！！
とても優しく面白いガイドさんで地元ならではの話をたくさんしてくれます。
私は石垣島最終日前日の夜に参加しましたが時間に余裕のある方は前半に参加してオススメスポットに行くのもありかなと思いました。
夜ご飯に困ってたのですが帰り道にオススメ居酒屋さんを教えてくださり行ってみました！
アダンの実の天ぷらとジーマミー豆腐が最高でした！色々と教えてくださりありがとうございました！
また石垣島行った際にはこのツアーに参加します！

This was my second time snorkeling at SAP and Balas Island. No matter how many times I go, I'm always healed by the beautiful sea and the nature-filled jungle! The staff were very kind and took a lot of photos for us! I highly recommend it.

2回目のSAPとバラス島シュノーケリング。
何度行っても綺麗な海と自然いっぱいのジャングルに癒されます！
スタッフの方もとても優しく写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました！とてもおすすめです。

I was welcomed in the airport lobby and taken to famous spots like the Himeyuri Monument, Chinen Misaki, and Manzamo. Initially, I wasn't planning to visit Chinen Misaki, but I was advised that it would be a great experience, and I was glad I went as I enjoyed the stunning views. Additionally, I was treated to delicious Sata Andagi, which was very tasty. The car was well-maintained and clean, and the driving skills were impressive, making for a comfortable drive that allowed me to fully enjoy my trip to Okinawa! If I have the chance to come to Okinawa again, I would definitely like to use this service. Thank you very much!

空港のロビーでお出迎えしてくださり、ひめゆりの塔や知念岬、万座毛などの名所に連れて行ってくださいました。当初、知念岬には行く予定ではありませんでしたが、是非行くといいとのことで連れて行ってくださり、絶景を楽しむことができました。さらに、おすすめのサーターアンダギーをご馳走してくださいました。とても美味しかったです。また、手入れの行き届いた綺麗な車だった上、運転技術が光る快適なドライブで、沖縄旅行を存分に楽しむことができました！沖縄に来る機会があれば、また是非利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

My first time in Okinawa. As I cautiously made my way down a dark road with no streetlights, I finally arrived at the meeting spot. When I turned off the car lights... there was a sky full of stars!! I even got to see a shooting star. I hadn't thought of any specific poses, so I asked for recommendations. They showed me the photos taken right there, and even unedited, the stars were clearly visible, creating a wonderful atmosphere. I can't wait to receive the data.

初めての沖縄。周りに街灯がなく真っ暗な道を、怖々と半信半疑で進むとたどり着きました。
待ち合わせ場所に到着し、車のライトを消すと…そこには満天の星空！！流れ星も見れました。
これといったポーズを考えていなかったので、おすすめを指示してもらいました。
その場で撮ったばかりの写真を見せてもらいましたが、無加工でも星がばっちりと写っていて、雰囲気も良くとてもすてきでした。データをもらうのが楽しみです。
