All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I participated on the last day. We departed near the terminal and it was fun to sightsee at Kabira Bay. It truly was the scenery I saw in photos. On the way back, I was dropped off at the airport and headed home. It was a fulfilling tour that made very effective use of my time.

最後の日に参加しました。ターミナル近くから出発し、川平湾でも観光できて楽しかったです。
ほんと写真でみた光景でした。
帰りは、空港で下ろしていただき、帰路へ。。
時間をとても有効に使えて充実したツアーでした。

On the day, we couldn't see the starry sky, but the night safari was fun. We drove on dark roads and got to see birds that you can't see in the city, as well as coconut crabs by the seaside, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

当日、星空はみれませんでしたが、ナイトサファリ、楽しかったです。真っ暗な道を車で走り、都会ではみれない鳥や、海辺でのヤシガニなどをみれて、楽しい思い出ができました。
ありがとうございました。

The guide and driver were kind and pleasant, making for a fun day. I'm glad I chose this tour.
- At Manza Beach, the arrival time was in the evening, which was unfortunate due to backlighting. I think it would be better if the course could be changed.

ガイドさんもドライバーも親切で感じが良く楽しい1日で、このツアーを選んで良かった。
-万座毛　到着時間が夕刻という事もあり、逆光で大変残念でした。コース変更できたら良いと思われる。

The first stop, Cape Hedo, offers a magnificent view. At Oishi Forest Park, it was not crowded, so we could walk easily. If it were a busy season, it would probably be congested and hard to walk. The sounds of birds, sunlight filtering through the trees, and the unique rock formations create a powerful spot!

We had three hours at the aquarium, so we were able to see everything, including the whale shark, sea turtles, and the dolphin show. On the way back, the sunset was beautiful, and although we walked 17,000 steps and were tired, it was a lot of fun.

最初の辺戸岬は雄大な景色
大石林山はすいていてサクサク歩けました。混んでる時期なら渋滞して歩けないでしょう。 鳥の声 林から差し込む日差し 奇岩のパワースポット！
水族館は3時間あったのでジンベイザメ、海ガメ、イルカショーまで全て見れました。帰りも夕焼けがきれいで、徒歩1.7万歩疲れましたが楽しかったです。

This time, I participated in the course at Kouri Island and American Village. There were many participants from overseas, and I was worried about the timing, but thanks to the bilingual guide, the sightseeing went smoothly.
At American Village, I was able to see a beautiful sunset, which was amazing! Thank you!

今回は古宇利島・アメリカンヴィレッジのコースに参加しました。海外からの参加者の方が多く、時間など心配でしたが、バイリンガルのガイドさんのおかげでスムーズに観光できました。
アメリカンヴィレッジでは、綺麗な夕焼けが見れて最高でした！ありがとうございます！

Stargazing was beautiful, unlike back home. At the night safari, I couldn't find the coconut crab, but I enjoyed interacting with various creatures.

星空鑑賞、地元とは違い綺麗でした
ナイトサファリ、ヤシガニは見つかりませんでしたが、さまざまな生き物と触れ合えて楽しめました

I had been to Sefa Utaki before, but it was my first time at the Gangala Valley. Walking through it felt like stepping back in time. When the Great Banyan Tree appeared, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" The guide's stories were enjoyable, and the 1 hour and 20 minutes flew by.

I felt it was a great decision to participate in this half-day course at Sefa Utaki and Gangala Valley. Since the return trip also includes the airport as a drop-off point, I think it's a good option if your flight schedule aligns.

斎場御嶽には行ったことがありましたが、ガンガラーの谷は初めてでした。歩いているとまるでタイムスリップしたような雰囲気です。大主ガジュマルが現れた時は、思わず「うわー」と声が出てしまったほど。ガイドさんのお話も楽しく、本当に1時間20分はあっという間でした。
斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷のこの半日コースは参加してよかったと思いました。帰りは空港も降車場所としてあるので、飛行機の時間が合えば、良いコースだと思います。

The introduction of each spot was a day well immersed in the rich history and experience of Okinawa. If there is another opportunity, I look forward to it.

各スポットの紹介は豊かな歴史も沖縄体感をよく漬け込んだ一日てした。またの機会がございましたら、よろしくお願いします。

I thought it would be quite difficult to visit three islands in one day on my own, so I signed up for this tour. At the reception counter, I was given tickets, and I handed them over each time I used the boat, bus, water buffalo cart, or had a meal. While there isn't a dedicated guide, there are people waiting with cards displaying the tour number I was given in advance when I got off the boat or bus, and they let me know what to do next. Following their instructions to get on the vehicles, have meals, and gather at the designated times made it easy to enjoy the experience, even as a solo participant.

個人で3島を1日で回るのはなかなか大変と思い、このツアーに申し込みました。
受付カウンターでチケットを渡され、船・バス・水牛車・食事を利用するたびにチケットを渡していく感じ。専属のガイドがつくわけではありませんが、船やバスを降りれば、事前に教えられたツアー番号のカードを持った方が待っており、次にどうすればよいか教えてくれます。その指示に従って乗り物に乗ったり、食事をしたり、時間になったら集合するだけなので、一人参加でも気軽に楽しめました。

I took a half-day tour in the afternoon. I signed up because I wanted to go to Kabira Bay. The weather was nice, and the glass-bottom boat was amazing. The staff on the glass-bottom boat mentioned that the water clarity wasn't the best today, but it was still really beautiful. Not only the underwater scenery but also the views were stunning. Both the guide and the driver were kind.

午後半日ツアーを利用しました。
川平湾に行きたかったので申し込みました。天気も良くグラスボード最高でした。グラスボードの方は透明度今日はそこまで最高ではないとおっしゃっていましたが凄くきれいでした。海の中だけでなく景色もきれいです。
ガイドさんも運転手さんも親切でした。

I ended up having to pay a transportation fee of 3,000 yen without any prior explanation. Being told this in the hotel lobby on the day of arrival was quite troubling. This is a complete lack of communication. I'm very disappointed.

事前に説明の無い送迎料3000円を支払う羽目になりました。当日、ホテルのロビーで言われても、困ります。完全に説明不足です。大変がっかりです。

I was very satisfied that I was able to visit two spots in just the morning of my last day of travel! It was great to be taken to places that are not easily accessible without a rental car, and at a reasonable price.

旅行最終日の午前中だけの時間で2つのスポットに行けてかなり満足でした！レンタカーなしではなかなか行けない場所にお手軽な値段で連れて行ってもらえるので大変良かったです。

It was good. It was my first time on a tour with an earphone guide, and it felt a bit lacking. But the guide played the sanshin for us, which was fun.

良かったです。イアホンガイドのツアーが初めてでちょっと物足りなかった。でもガイドさんがサンシンを弾いてくれて楽しかったです。

The stay at Wanmouza and Kouri Island was particularly short, so I couldn't take my time to take photos. I thought there wasn't much to see at American Village, so it might not be worth going.

万毛座と古宇利島の滞在時間が特に短くて、ゆっくり写真を撮ることもできなかった。アメリカンビレッジは特に見る所もなく行かなくても良いかと思いました。

If this your first time to Okinawa, this tour is a good way to see North Okinawa without the hassle of taking public transportation. The bus plays a recorded English commentary for those who can't understand Japanese. Bus was on time and Japanese lady guide was nice. She sang quite a few Okinawan songs during the tour which was entertaining. Good singer too!
After picking up all participants from various hotels, the tour started with a short stop at Cape Manza, then to Kouri Island and a lunch stop after. Next, we went to Churarium Aquarium (150min stay) which is located at Ocean Expo Park with free dolphin show at various time throughout the day , turtle & manatee pool outside the Aquarium. (There're many electric trolley that go around the park for Y200 unlimited ride) Managed to see Emerald Beach, Okinawan Village (I don't find this one interesting), and watched the 15-20min Dolphin show @3pm (this is the highlight of the tour) Walked back to the bus scheduled to leave at 3:40pm
Re: Nago Pineapple Park, nothing much going on here. Walked the Dinosaur botanical garden, sample some wine & snacks.
Overall, if you have time to spare, this is a long but quite enjoyable tour.

I think most of the people who participated in this tour were mainly interested in the Okinawa's Okiishi Forest, and not so much in the Churaumi Aquarium. If possible, I would like to have about 30 more minutes to explore Okiishi Forest at a more leisurely pace. I believe time adjustments can be made at the roadside station afterward, but what do you think?

It was great that we arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium just in time to see the dolphin show.

今回このツアーに参加したほとんどの方が大石林山目当てで美ら海水族館はそんなに興味がない方ばかりだと思います。出来ればもう少しゆっくり大石林山をまわれるようにあと30分ぐらい多めに取って欲しいです。時間調整はその後の道の駅でも出来るかと思いますが如何なものでしょうか？
美ら海水族館に着いてタイミング良くイルカショーが見れたのは良かったです。

Fantastic tour with a very informative and friendly guide and a friendly driver. The schedule was quite well arranged--nothing felt particularly hurried although that could be because we had expected that all stops outside of the main aquarium one would be brief.

The lunch option (available for an additional 1000yen) was very good--beautiful environment and good food at a fair price. For travellers staying in Naha, I'd recommend skipping the Okashigoten shop there (there's a similar one in Naha with the same prices at which the provided coupon can be used) and exploring/ eating lunch instead.

Travellers who wish to visit the Pineapple Park in great detail should note that this tour makes but a brief stop there. There appears to be a few courses available at the Park but the tour only had time for the shopping course. There was barely any time left at the end of the free wine tasting (which I would highly recommend--the wines are pretty interesting) so travellers who wish to make purchases should be quick.

2.5 hours was plenty for the aquarium and the bus was timed such that tour participants had just enough time to catch the dolphin show at the end. Visiting other attractions, however, might be a bit of a squeeze since the park is quite large, as is the aquarium.

Overall, the tour was a great way to see a lot of Okinawa in a day at a very affordable price. Although the guide and driver didn't speak much English, they did their best and it wasn't a large problem. Would recommend!

In the afternoon tour, after finishing, we had a meal on Kokusai Street, bought souvenirs, and returned to our accommodation, making good use of our time. At Masahiro Sake Brewery, we listened to an explanation of the process of making awamori. In the video inside, the employees were dancing with one-sho bottles of awamori balanced on their heads. It was amazing.

The Gyokusendo Cave at Okinawa World was incredibly beautiful, and I was deeply moved. I promised my friend that we would go on a cave exploration in the southern islands next time. The Eisa dance was also cool. At the end of the show, everyone danced together, and it was a lot of fun. I promised my friend that we would come back to Okinawa again. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

午後からのツアーで、終了してから国際通りで食事して、お土産買って宿に戻り
時間を有効につかえました。まさひろ酒造さんでは、泡盛が出来るまでの工程の説明を聞きました。館内のビデオで、従業員さん達が泡盛の一升ビンを頭の上に乗せて踊ってました。すごかったです。
おきなわワールドの玉泉洞は凄く綺麗で
感動しましたー。次は南の島の洞くつ探検に行こうと友人と約束しました。
エイサーもカッコよかったです。ショーの最後にみんなで踊ってとても楽しかったです。また沖縄に来ようと友人と約束しました。楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

This was my first time visiting the Miyako Islands. I came to visit a friend, but I was able to join a quick tour in between, and I could take some photos, which made for great memories! It was my first time seeing the Milky Way with my own eyes, and I think it was worth the price. It felt like being in a planetarium.

However, if the sky is cloudy, the tour gets canceled, so I would have appreciated getting the cancellation notice a bit earlier. The meeting place is a completely dark area with no lights (which is to be expected), so it's a good idea to have clear markers or bring a flashlight.

はじめて、宮古諸島に来島にしました。
友人訪問が目的で来たのですが、ちょっとした合間にサクッとツアーに参加できて、撮影ができたので、良い思い出になりました☆★
肉眼で天の川が見られたのは、はじめてで値段の割には、良いと思います。
プラネタリウムにいるような感覚です。

ただ、曇り空だとツアー自体が中止になるので、催行の連絡をもう少し早めにいただきたかったです。。
集合場所は、電気もまったくない暗～い場所（当たり前ですが）なので、
わかりやすい目印や懐中電灯を持っていくと良いです。

I'm glad I was able to join an efficient tour that was compact and well-organized due to my short travel period. It felt like a tour that took all the best parts without any waste. The stories from the man handling the water buffalo were interesting.

旅行期間が短いので、ぎゅっと凝縮した効率の良いツアーに参加できて良かったと思います。無駄のないいいとこどりのツアーという感じです。水牛をあやつるおっちゃんのお話が面白かったです。

The Churaumi Aquarium was great because I had plenty of time to leisurely explore the exhibits! The bus guide also shared various stories, which made it very enjoyable!

美ら海水族館はとても時間があってゆっくり館内を見ることができて本当に良かったです！バスガイドさんも色んなお話しをしてくださってとても楽しかったです！

I used a tour to Taketomi Island. There was a shuttle from the ferry terminal, but the bus was smaller than I expected, and the road was worse than I imagined. Families with children should be careful.

竹富島へのツアーを利用しました。
フェリーターミナルから、送迎がありましたが、バスが思ったやり小さかったのと、想像以上に道が悪路でした。お子様連れは気をつけてください。

I often visit Okinawa, but I had never been to the northernmost point before. This time, I was able to enjoy the scenery slowly while taking the bus. It was great to visit tourist spots like Cape Hedo, Daichi Forest, and the Churaumi Aquarium.

沖縄にはよく来ていますが、最北端までは行ったことがありませんでした。
今回バスで、ゆっくりと景色を見ながら楽しむ事が出来ました。
辺戸岬・大石林山・美ら海水族館と観光スポットを回ることができたのも良かったです。

The guide sings Okinawan songs in the car, and they are very good and pleasant to the ears. I was able to spend a relaxing time. The driver is also very nice.
At the Valley of Gangala, the guide's explanations are easy to understand. It comes with well-chilled sanpin tea.

ガイドさんが車内で沖縄の歌を歌ってくれます。それがとても上手で耳に心地よいです。癒しの時間を過ごせました。運転手さんも感じがよいです。
ガンガラーの谷はガイドさんの説明がわかりやすい。よく冷えたさんぴん茶付きです。

Nice ride around Okinawa
Loved being able to see a lot without having to drive around with three small children.
They loved the aquarium and I appreciated the lunch and small gifts that came with trip.
Would definitely recommend this to others.

Okinawa World felt like Meiji Mura in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, where I could sense history. The Super Eisa performance was impressive, and it was so much fun to dance together at the end!

Gyokusendo Cave was incredibly beautiful, and I promised to join the cave exploration in the southern islands next time. At Masahiro Shuzo, the explanation of how awamori is made was easy to understand, and even though I couldn't drink it, it looked delicious, so I ended up buying a small bottle. When I see awamori, I think I will look for the Masahiro brand. I wished I had a bit more time at Okinawa World. I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

おきなわワールドは愛知県犬山の明治村のような感じで歴史を感じました。スーパーエイサーは見応えがあり、最後はみんなで踊ってとても楽しかったです〜
玉泉洞は最高に綺麗で次は南の島の洞くつ探検に参加しようと約束しました。
まさひろ酒造さんで泡盛ができるまでの説明わかりやすく飲めないのに美味しそうで、小瓶を買ってしまいました。泡盛を見ると　まさひろ　の銘柄を探しそうです。おきなわワールドは、もう少し時間が欲しかったです。とても楽しい時間をすごせました。ありがとうございました。

I had a full day of fun. It's definitely easier than arranging everything on your own. I can confidently say that it's worth paying for this tour! I highly recommend it!

１日たっぷり遊べました。個人で手配するより断然楽。これだったらお金を払ってもよい！と断言できるツアーでした。おすすめですよ！

I participated with my uncle and aunt, and it became a wonderful memory. I recommended it to my friends! I would like to participate again.

おじさんおばさんで参加しましたが、とてもいい思い出になりました^_^
友人達にもお勧めしました！
また参加したいと思います。

I had a very efficient and enjoyable sightseeing experience in Ishigaki Island and Kabira Bay in just half a day. The female bus guide was very entertaining, making it a fun bus tour. There were eight of us participating, and it was all very enjoyable without any issues.

半日で石垣島及び川平湾の体験ができてとても効率的で楽しい観光が出来ました。バスのガイド(女性)さんがとても面白く楽しいバスツアーでした。
8名での参加でしたが問題なくとても楽しく良かったです。

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I joined this bus tour. I think it's a great deal as it also takes you to famous tourist spots in Okinawa. The veteran guide's explanations were thorough and easy to understand, making it pleasant to listen to. Personally, I found the bridge to Kouri Island and the view of the sea from underneath the bridge to be beautiful. The timing felt just right. However, the Churaumi Aquarium was crowded, and if you wait for the crowds to thin out, you might run out of time, so I recommend moving quickly through the exhibits. You can see the key attractions, and the large tank with the whale sharks is breathtaking; you could watch it forever. The dolphin show was also heartwarming. It was a very satisfying tour.

美ら海水族館に行きたくてこのバスツアーに参加しました。水族館の他にも沖縄の有名な観光地をまわれて、大変お得なツアーだと思います。
ベテランガイドさんのお話も説明も丁寧で分かりやすく、聞いていて心地よかったです。
個人的には古宇利島の橋や橋の下から見る海がキレイでとてもよかったです。時間配分は丁度良く感じました。
ただ美ら海水族館は混雑していて、人だかりを空くのを待って見ていると時間が足りなくなるのでサクサク見ることをオススメします。
要所は見ることができ、巨大水槽やジンベイザメは圧巻でいつまでも見ていられます。イルカショーも見ていてほっこりしました。
大満足のツアーでした。
