All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

It was an amazing experience despite the heavy rain, as the local staff did their best to accommodate us, allowing us to enjoy ourselves. The content was very satisfying and truly captured the essence of Okinawa.

すごい雨でしたが、現地担当の方たちが出来る限りの対応を考えてくださり、おかげ様で楽しむことができました。沖縄らしさが満喫できる大満足の内容でした。

I participated in this tour because I wasn't confident about driving in an unfamiliar place during the busy season in August while traveling alone. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, the time was a bit short and it felt rushed, but I was glad to be able to visit various places in one day.

1人旅で、8月の混雑期に知らない土地での車の運転は自信が無かった為、コチラのツアーに参加しました。
美ら海水族館ではちょっと時間が短く、バタバタでしたが、1日で色々な所が回れて良かったです。

I participated in the tour and rated it 8 out of 10. The weather was rainy and unstable due to Typhoon No. 9, but they came to pick me up at the hotel. Since it was my last day, I was able to load my suitcase onto the bus, and they took me to the airport on the way back, which was great.

I arrived first at Sefa Utaki. Since it’s a popular spot, I thought I wouldn’t be able to take my time, but since I was the first one there, there were few other tourists, and I could explore at a leisurely pace.

By the time I arrived at the Valley of Gangala, the weather had deteriorated, and it was pouring rain with poor footing, but the scenery of the limestone cave, which we entered with lanterns, the giant banyan tree, and the natural beauty and mystery of Okinawa were wonderful.

The 1 hour and 20-minute guided tour was very enjoyable for both adults and children. I don’t think you can have such experiences often.

The bus guide's explanations were very clear, and the drivers were kind people, which was nice. Thank you very much. I would like to participate in the tour again the next time I visit Okinawa.

8／10参加させていただきました。台風９号の影響で雨が降ったりやんだりの天気でしたが、ホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、滞在最終日だったのでそのままキャリーケースをバスに積み、帰りは空港まで送ってくれるのでよかったです。
斎場御嶽には一番乗りで到着しました。人気スポットなので、ゆっくりできないかな〜と思っていましたが、一番乗りだったので、他の観光客も少なくゆっくり巡ることができました。
ガンガラーの谷に着いた頃には天気が崩れてしまい、足元が悪くスゴい豪雨でしたが、ランタンを持って入る鍾乳洞の景観、巨大ガジュマルの木、沖縄の自然と神秘素晴らしかったです。
1時間20分の専門ガイド付きツアーで、大人も子どももとても楽しめました。なかなかこういう経験はできないと思います。

ツアーのバスガイドさんの話もとてもわかりやすく、運転手さんも優しい方々でよかったです。ありがとうございました。また次回沖縄に行った時はツアーに参加させていただきたいと思います。

I was the only American that day on the bus but they provided me with a translator radio which explained the areas we drove through in English so I learned a lot about the areas along the beautiful coastal drive leading to the Aquarium.

First of all, the Guide does not speak english and doesn't even recognize me speaking japanese to her. Instead of talking at all to me, she just pointed to everything. She smiled and talked to the other participants, but couldn't even try to smile with me.
We drove 3 hours to pick up other participants and than had 40 minutes in the Pineapple Park. We rushed through it and had only 5 minutes left, when we arrived in the souvenir shop, i had no time to try anything or buy anything. Than we had 50 minutes in a shopping mapp in which we didn't even go inside, instead we went to the sandwich store infront, because they had coupons for it, for everybody to have one bad sandwich. We decided to have Okinawa noodles at that place and payed a bit more. Then we arrived in the aquarium, 3 hours are not enough at all for this huge place. It is so beautiful and there is a whole park around it with more museums and tropical gardens around it. Again i rushed through it. In the end we stopped at a sweet potato souvenir shop to buy stuff and then 3 hours getting everybody back.
The Pineapple Park is nice, cute and a bit bizarr, but 40 min are definitly not enough, the Aquarium is awesome, but 3 hours is not enough.
We spent more time wasting time with picking up people and eating bad sandwiches than with the main events. And the guide is only nice to japanese people. The english translator device is also bad, you don't understand anything and it has that disturbing cracking sound.
I am not satisfied with the tour.
I am satisfied with Pineapple Park and Aquarium which are definitly worth seeing it, but better go there by yourself. :(

Since there is no seat assignment, I was sitting next to strangers. The guide was efficient, but there was a lot of pressure; if anyone was even a minute late for the meeting time, they would leave without them. People in the back seats were even saying, "Is this a military operation?" The course covered all the tourist attractions, which was great.

座席指定ではないのでしらない人と隣同士
ガイドさんはテキパキしてるといえばいいが集合時間に１分でも遅れたら置いてくとかとにかく圧がすごかった。後ろの席の人達も軍隊かよ！と言ってました。
コースは観光名所を網羅していて良かった。

This was my first trip to Okinawa, and I participated in a day trip bus tour. Our guide, Yuki, enthusiastically introduced the scenery and sang Okinawan songs, which I really enjoyed.

初めての沖縄旅ですが、バスツアーで日帰り旅参加しました。ユキちゃんというガイドさんが景色を熱心紹介と沖縄歌を熱唱がとても楽しんでました。

It seemed like a typhoon was approaching, but I was very satisfied with the schedule adjustments made for us. I was happy that they took a lot of photos and sent them to us later. It was great not to worry about carrying my smartphone while walking along the mountain paths and through the mangroves. It became a wonderful summer memory!

台風が来そうでしたが、一部スケジュールを変えていただき、大満足でした★
写真をいっぱい撮ってくれて、あとで送っていただけたのが嬉しかったです。
山道を進んだりマングローブを進んだりするのでスマホを持ち歩く心配がないのが良かったです。夏の思い出になりました！

I had a great time efficiently visiting three remote islands for the first time. I was able to enjoy sightseeing without feeling rushed.

During the ferry ride, I was on the deck, but the wind was quite strong, so it might have been better to sit inside. I was satisfied with exploring Taketomi Island freely by renting a bicycle.

初めての離島を3島を効率よく回れて楽しかったです。時間もせわしないこともなく観光ができました。
移動時間のフェリーではデッキにいたので風がすごすぎるため、中に座った方が良かったかもしれないです。竹富島はレンタサイクルで自由に散策できて満足でした。

I think it was a good decision to use a sightseeing bus that allows you to sleep during the journey, as attractions in the central region, like the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, take quite a bit of time to reach from Naha City. Especially since the Ocean Expo Park, where the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is located, is large and can be tiring to explore.

Additionally, it unfortunately rained on the day of our visit, but it was great that there was a course that could still be enjoyed even in the rain.

美ら海水族館など中部の観光地は、那覇市内から行くと結構時間がかかるので、移動中寝ていても大丈夫な観光バスを利用して正解だと思いました。特に、美ら海水族館がある海洋博公園は広くて疲れるので、なおさらです。
また、当日はあいにくの雨となりましたが、雨でも楽しめるコースとなっていて、良かったです。

This is a great option for those who do not have cars, but still want to see the Okinawan sites. This is a great alternative to get around, although the time at each place was tight and we couldn't spend as much time at each location as we wanted, we had a lot of fun following along the tour. Everyone on the tour was also very nice and accommodating.

I was able to fully enjoy the northern part of Okinawa.

There are two trekking courses, and I chose the shorter one just in case, but it ended quickly. If you're young, the longer course should be fine.

Even though it was a weekday, the restaurant at the roadside station during lunch break was extremely crowded. The food was delicious, but the staff seemed overwhelmed, and the seating arrangements and clean-up were a bit sloppy. If you want to eat leisurely or look at souvenirs, it might be better to bring a bento or grab something from a nearby convenience store.

We had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, and I felt a bit restless for about an hour, but I think those who love aquariums or have children will be able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace.

沖縄北部をいっきに満喫できました

トレッキングは2コースあり、時間が心配で念のため短い方にしましたがすぐ終わってしまい、普通に若い方なら長い方でも大丈夫そうです。

平日でしたが、ランチ休憩の道の駅のレストランは激混みでした。おいしかったけど店員さんがキツそうで、席への案内や片付けがずさんです。
ゆっくり食べたい、お土産も見たい方はお弁当持参か近くのコンビニで済ませても良いかもしれません。

美ら海水族館の時間がたっぷりとられていて、1時間くらい持て余しましたが、水族館が好きな方やお子様連れの方には余裕をもって楽しめると思います。

You can see the Milky Way clearly with the naked eye, something you can never see in the city!
There are even more stars captured in the photos.
With such a price for creating the best memories, you definitely won't regret going!
I highly recommend it since you can't take these photos yourself.
I would love to use this service again when I come back to Miyako Island.
Thank you!

都心では決して見ることができない天の川が肉眼でクッキリ見えます！
写真には更にたくさんの星が写っています。
最高の思い出が形に残るのに、このお値段、絶対に行って損はないです！
自分では絶対に撮れない写真なので、オススメです。
また宮古島に来るときは利用したいです。
ありがとうございました！

It was a cool, rainy day. The guide had a bright smile that lit up the bus, which was very comforting. Due to the rain, fewer people participated in the visit to Sefa Utaki, so they increased our time at Okinawa World. I appreciate the flexible schedule changes. The cost performance was great, and I was very satisfied.

雨降りの日で涼しい日でした。ガイドさんはバス内をパッと明るくするような笑顔いっぱいの方で癒されました。斎場御嶽見学が雨の影響で参加する人が出ず、その分沖縄ワールドの時間を増やしてくれました。臨機応変の予定変更に感謝です。コスパもよく大満足です。

This is a tour that both adults and children can enjoy! In the first half, we explored the night jungle, walking around in the dark, discovering bats, and even touching a large coconut crab—an experience you can't have in Tokyo! In the second half, we enjoyed stargazing, learning the names of stars and watching shooting stars, which left both adults and children very satisfied! The guide was knowledgeable about insects and spoke well, so my son said, "I want to see the big brother again!" I plan to request this tour again for our trip to Ishigaki Island next year! Thank you!

大人も子供も楽しめるツアーです！
前半はナイトジャングル散策で暗闇の中を歩き回りコウモリ発見したり、大きなヤシガニを触ってみたり、東京では出来ない経験を満喫！後半は星空観賞で星の名前を教えてもらったり、流れ星をみたりと大人も子供も大満足でした！ガイドしてくださった方が虫に詳しくお話が上手なので息子も「またお兄ちゃんに会いたい！」と言っています！
来年の石垣島旅行でもツアーお願いしようと思います！ありがとうございました

I thought it would be a busier tour, but I was able to take my time and really enjoy the mangroves. The guide's explanations were clear and enjoyable, which was great.

The view from Nishizaki Pier on Taketomi Island, which I've always dreamed of visiting, was just as wonderful as I expected, and I was very satisfied.

The Okinawa zenzai I had on Taketomi Island, with its fluffy ice and brown sugar syrup, was exquisite❣ I had a full day of fun.

もっと忙しいツアーかと思っていましたが、じっくりマングローブを見てきました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく楽しくて良かったです。

憧れの竹富島、西桟橋からの眺めは思っていたとおりの素晴らしさ大満足です。

竹富島で食べた沖縄ぜんざい、フワフワの氷と黒糖シロップがぜんざいと絶妙❣ 1日たっぷり楽しめました

The sightseeing was as I expected. The guide was the only male, but he was a nice person. However, it was a bit disappointing that his speech seemed to be memorized and delivered in a monotonous tone, making it hard to understand, and his voice wasn't very clear. The driver was also pleasant. The meals were good, but they felt like standard set meals that you could find anywhere. They were better than bento boxes. The scenery at Kabira Bay changes with the weather. It might be amazing when the weather is nice.

観光は思って通りでした。
ガイドさんは唯一の男の方でしたが 感じいい方です。ただ喋りが 暗記されたことを 何度もしゃべっているためか、一辺倒のイントネーションで伝わりにくく 声も通らずで聞きずらいのが残念でした。
運転手さんも感じよかったですね。お食事は美味しいというか どこでも食べれる感じの定食です。
お弁当とかよりいいです。
川平湾はお天気で風景が変わりますね。お天気だと最高かも。

First of all, it was fun‼️

The access points for SUP and the limestone caves are in the jungle by the roadside, which really gets your excitement up. We went up the river, walked partway, played at the waterfall, and when we returned to where we had left the SUP and canoe, it was shallow. It might have been a little mishap, but we were able to feel the nature around us. The guide was polite, took a lot of photos, and was skilled, so thank you very much!

まず、楽しかったです‼️

SUPや鍾乳洞へのアクセスポイントが、車道の脇のジャングルの中
これだけでテンション上がります。
川を上って、途中から歩いて、滝で遊んで、SUP、カヌーを浮かべておいた所に戻ると、、、浅くなってる
引潮だったんです。ちょっとしたハプニングかもしれませんが、自然を感じることができました
ガイドの兄さんは、丁寧で、沢山の写真を撮ってくれて、腕も良くて、ありがとうございました

I participated on July 30th, starting at 8:30 PM. I was a bit worried because it was still a little bright past 8 PM, but by the time we started shooting, the stars were beautifully visible. Before the shoot, they lifted our spirits by saying things like, "It's rare for it to be this clear" and "It looks like we can take some beautiful photos." When it was time to shoot, they also gave us advice on how to pose, and the shooting went very smoothly. At the end, they shared recommendations for spots in Miyako Island, and I really felt it was worth participating! I definitely want to ask for their help again when I go to Miyako Island! Thank you very much!

7月30日、20時半から参加しました。
20時過ぎても少し明るく心配でしたが、撮影する頃には星がとても綺麗に見えました。
撮影前に『こんなに晴れるのは珍しい』『綺麗な写真が撮れそうです』など、こちらの気持ちを盛り上げてくれ、いざ撮影へ。
ポーズの仕方もアドバイスしてくれ、とてもスムーズに撮影が進みました。
最後に宮古島のおすすめスポットなども教えてくれ、参加して本当によかったと思いました！
また宮古島に行く時にはぜひお願いしたいと思います！
ありがとうございした！

I participated in the same course two years ago, and it was so good that I decided to repeat it. It was indeed great again. It's more efficient and cheaper than going on my own. Additionally, the kindness of the guides and drivers is remarkable. It's not just about transportation; there are plenty of stories to learn from, making it educational as well. Thank you very much.

一昨年に、同じコースに参加し、とても良かったのでリピートです。
やはり良かったです。
自力で回るより効率的で、尚且つ安い。それにくわえて、ガイド、運転手の方々の親切。ただの移動でなくお話しも盛りだくさんなので勉強にもなります。ありがとうございました。

I was a bit skeptical about whether we would look this beautiful in the photos, but first, I was amazed by the starry sky around us that day! I thought this was going to be great, so we headed to the shooting location. I was surprised to see some of the shots taken on-site! Then, when we received the wonderful photos of the starry sky with us in them a few days later, I was so excited! It was truly amazing! Moving over the rocky area in the dark was a little scary, but it was a very satisfying tour. Thank you!

こんなに綺麗に写真に写るのかなぁと、半信半疑でしたが、
まず、当日の周辺の星空に驚愕！
これは期待大だなと思い、撮影場所に向かいました。
その場で写したモノを少し見せてもらってビックリ！
そして、後日送られてきた、素晴らしい星空と写る自分たちを見て、テンション上がりました！
本当に素晴らしかったです！
足元暗い中、岩場に移動するのが少し怖かったですが
すごく満足できるツアーでした。
ありがとうございました！

The starry sky was amazing! The photos I received later have been edited, but it's disappointing that my face and head look unnatural. Maybe the editing skills aren't very good.

星空は最高でした！
後日頂いた写真は、加工しておりますが、顔や頭などが不自然な感じになってたりで、残念です。加工技術が下手ですかね。

The guide was kind and provided detailed introductions, making for a wonderful day! The aquarium was very beautiful, with the sea displaying various colors like blue and green, it was stunning.

ガイドさんはやさしい、詳しい紹介される、素晴らしい一日過ぎました！水族館はすごく綺麗、海も青色、緑など色な色があります、綺麗

The optional tours for the cruise were expensive, so I booked a local tour directly through VELTRA. It was about half the price of similar tours on the ship, making it a great deal. I definitely recommend it for Japanese travelers. However, there is a risk that the ship may not arrive as scheduled. In our case, we arrived 30 minutes late and missed the tour, but we took a taxi and joined the tour midway. The taxi driver was kind and provided us with sightseeing information. Experiences like this are part of the joy of traveling!

クルーズのオプショナルツアーが高いので、現地ツアーをVELTRA経由で直接予約した。船の中の同じようなツアーの半額程度と格安。日本人には絶対お勧め。ただし、船が予定通り着かないケースがあり、これがリスク。我々の場合も予定より到着が30分遅れツアーに間に合わなかったが、タクシーで追いかけ途中から合流した。タクシーの運転手さんが親切で、観光案内をしてくれた。こんなことも旅の醍醐味でしょう！

I rode a water buffalo cart for the first time! This time, I was guided by Yuki, who had a hibiscus flower attached. The water buffaloes, who aren't fond of the heat... thank you for your hard work even on such a hot day! At Hoshi no Suna Beach, I collected a lot of star sand. I also received a souvenir, so I'll keep it together. Next time, I plan to come during a cooler season and take my time exploring the island. Thank you to all the staff at the tourist office for your help in the heat.

水牛車に初めて乗りました！ハイビスカスをつけて貰っていた結くんに今回は案内してもらいましたよ。暑いのが苦手な水牛さんたち・・・こんな暑い日にも、お仕事お疲れ様です！ありがとう！星の砂海岸では、沢山星砂を拾いました。記念品でもいただけたので、一緒に入れておきます。今度は暑く無い時期に来て、ゆっくり島を回ってみようと思います。
観光所のスタッフの皆さんも暑い中、ありがとうございました。

It was an emotional experience to see the Milky Way for the first time in my life, and it was even better to capture that moment with my family of three. I received a lot of information about Miyako Island, and when I actually visited, the food was delicious. Thank you!

生涯初めて天の川を見ることができたのも感動でしたが、その瞬間を家族三人で残すことができて最高でした。宮古島情報も多々おしえて頂き、実際行ってみたらとてもおいしかったです。ありがとうございました！

The tour departs at 14:30.
As soon as we arrived at Taketomi Island, we enjoyed a glass-bottom boat (with air conditioning! Apparently, this is the only company that offers it so far). There were no other guests, so we had the boat to ourselves.
After that, we enjoyed a water buffalo cart ride, and the tour ended around 16:15.
It was too hot to feel like going outside, so we waited for the bus to the port in the waiting area (which also had air conditioning).

It was quite a good deal and a lot of fun.

14:30発のツアー。
竹富島に到着してすぐにグラスボート（エアコンあり！今のところこの会社だけだそうです）。他の客はいなくて貸し切りで楽しめました。
その後水牛車を楽しんで、終了は16時15分くらい。
暑すぎて外に出る気にならず、そのまま港へのバスを待機所で待ちました（エアコンあり）。

かなりお得で楽しめました。

On the last night, I joined Pip's night tour after the day tour I had with him! The kids were super excited about the creatures and plants we encountered, and the guide was entertaining, which made it very satisfying! There were also several staff members who spoke English, so the people from Belgium who came with us seemed to be having a great time too! I definitely want to participate in another tour.

最終日の夜、1日ツアーでお世話になったピピさんのナイトツアーに参戦！出てくる生き物や植物に子供達も大興奮でガイドさんも面白くて大満足でした！
英語が話せるスタッフさんも何名かいたので、一緒に来たベルギーの方々も楽しそうにしてました！
また違うツアーに参加したいと思いました。

I was worried about the clouds, but during the shoot, we could see the Milky Way beautifully, and we got five great shots. The kids ended up taking pictures better than I expected, and the photos turned out really nice. It was great to receive recommendations for various shops and spots on Miyako Island for my first visit. Thank you very much.

雲が心配でしたが 撮影時は綺麗に天の川も見えて、5カットとっていただきました。子供も思った以上に上手に撮影でき、とてもいい写真になりました。初めての宮古島で色々なオススメのお店やスポットを教えていただきよかったです。ありがとうございました。

The price felt like a good deal, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the streets of Taketomi Island and Kondoi Beach with the water buffalo cart. Next time, it might be nice to have a plan to stay all day.

お値段的にお得感があり、水牛車も竹富島の街並みやコンドイ浜を十二分に楽しめた。
今度は一日中居るプランでも良いかも
