All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

I wanted to easily explore various places, especially to visit a limestone cave, so I decided on this tour! Unfortunately, it rained, but it was just as I expected. We got to ride on a glass-bottom boat, and even in the rain, we could clearly see the corals, fish, and sea turtles! The guide was just as he introduced himself, constantly chatting away, playing the sanshin, singing, and dancing, so I never got bored on the bus. The driver was also very kind and drove safely.

楽チンに色んなところ巡りたいのと、とくに鍾乳洞に行きたくて、本ツアーに決めました！あいにくの雨でしたが、期待通りの内容でした。グラスボートも乗れて、雨でもサンゴや魚、海ガメもしっかり見れました！ガイドさんは「思いついたことどんどん喋りますんで〜」と前置きされた通りにずーっと喋りっぱなし、三線弾いて唄をうたい、踊りも踊って、バスの中では退屈しませんでした。運転手さんも安全運転で優しい方でした。

I chose this course mainly for the Churaumi Aquarium. Considering the price, I was generally satisfied with the bus guide's explanations and the punctuality of the meeting times.

However, I was disappointed with the Pineapple Park. The tour guests were guided here by the staff, but unfortunately, most of the people in the tour got lost. It took a long time to get to the exit, and I couldn't ride the cart that I was looking forward to... If they had guided us from the beginning, indicating which way to go for the cart and which way for the park tour, I could have taken the cart. I think it's better not to follow the older gentleman.

美ら海水族館メインでこのコースを選べました。価格からしたら、バスガイドさんの解説があったり、集合時刻の正確さだったり、概ね満足です。
　残念なのは、パイナップルパークです。ツアーのお客様はこちらと、係の人に案内されましたが、いつの間、ツアーの大半の人達は迷子になってしまいました。出口に行くのに時間がかかり、楽しみにしていた、カートには乗れず、、、最初から、カートの人はこちら、園内見学はこちらと案内してくださればカートに乗れたのに、、と思います。おじさんについて行かない方がいいです。

The humidity was very high, and I felt the environment that made me feel close to nature. I usually don't have opportunities like this, so it was a valuable experience. Thank you very much.

湿度がとても高く、自然を感じさせる環境を肌で感じました。普段はこのような機会がないので、貴重な体験ができました。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my elementary school-aged child. It was great that we could efficiently visit major tourist spots like Nago Pineapple Park, Churaumi Aquarium, and Manzamo even without a rental car.

小学生の子連れで参加。レンタカー無しでもナゴパイナップルパークや美ら海水族館、万座毛といったメジャーな観光地を効率良く回れてよかったです。

The driver was very knowledgeable about the island, and we were able to encounter animals like the crested serpent eagle and the water rail that we would never have met if we had just rented a car and explored on our own (just the three of us as a family). It was perfect for our family, who loves animals. I'm glad we chose a private taxi!

運転手さんが島の事をよくご存知で、自分達(家族3人)でレンタカーを借りて回るだけだと決して出会えなかったカンムリワシやクイナなどとも出会えて、動物好きの家族にとっては最高でした。
貸切タクシーにして良かったです！

The veteran driver taught me a lot about Miyako Island. They took me to the recommended beach spots, and I enjoyed the best views. The driver was well-versed in everything about Miyako Island, allowing me to relax and enjoy my trip with peace of mind.

ベテランのドライバーさんで、宮古島のことをたくさん教えてくれました。ビーチもドライバーさんのお勧めの場所に連れて行っていただき、最高の景色を楽しめました。宮古島のことを知り尽くしたドライバーさんで、安心して旅行を楽しむことができました。

We visited once as a couple in the summer, and it was so wonderful that we decided to gift it to my in-laws for their 70th birthday celebration. Since it was December, I was worried about the temperature and weather, but fortunately, it turned out to be sunny. Although there was some wind, it was warm. I think this season is just right for elderly people—not too hot and not too cold. The only regret I had was that the glass boat tours in Taketomi Island were closed, but we were grateful for the stable enjoyment of the mangroves in Iriomote Island and the water buffalo in Yubu Island, which made for great memories. For families with small children, a tour from spring to summer might be good if they plan to go swimming, but if you’re not going into the sea, this season might be just right. In any case, I realized that this tour is fantastic no matter when you come, so I would like to visit again in a different season to enjoy the changing scenery.

夏に一度夫婦で訪れたのですがとても良かったので、義理の両親の古希お祝いを兼ねてプレゼントしました。12月なので気温と天気が心配でしたが、タイミングよく晴れてくれて風はあったものの温かかったです。高齢者には熱すぎず寒すぎずでちょうど良い季節なのではないかと思いました。竹富島のグラスボートが休業中だったことだけ心残りでしたが、西表島のマングローブや由布島の水牛が安定の楽しさで良い記念になったと感謝されました。小さな子がいるご家庭なら海水浴も想定して春～夏にかけたツアーが良いかもしれませんが、海に入らないならこれくらいの季節がちょうど良いかもしれません。いずれにしてもこのツアーはいつ来ても最高だということが分かりましたので、また違う季節にも来て景色の違いを楽しみたいと思います。

On Iriomote Island, I was able to see the crested serpent eagle and wild boars, and during my transfer to Yubu Island, I had the rare experience of riding a water buffalo cart. It was unfortunate that it rained heavily on Taketomi Island, but the experience was very rich and became a memorable one.

西表ではカンムリワシやイノシシを見ることができ、由布島への移動時、水牛車に乗れて貴重な体験ができました
竹富島では大雨になってしまい残念でしたが、とても内容が濃くて、思い出になりました

The weather was rainy and not great, but the lighting at the Ishigaki Island limestone cave was beautiful. I was lucky to see sea turtles on the optional glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay. The view from Tamatorizaki Observatory was also amazing. I thought it would be even more wonderful if the weather had been nice, and I felt like I wanted to visit again. For lunch, I had Okinawan home-cooked dishes, which had a gentle flavor. I would like to come back again when the weather is nice.

天気は雨模様でイマイチでしたが、石垣島鍾乳洞のライトアップは綺麗でした。川平湾ではオプションのグラスボートで海亀を見れたのがラッキーでした。玉取崎展望台の景色も最高でした。天気が良ければもっと素晴らしいと思う思うと、また訪れたいと思いました。昼食も沖縄の家庭料理で、優しい味でした。また、天気のいい時にもう一度、来たいと思います。

The round trip to Yufuin Island was done by water buffalo cart, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The shamisen music and singing performed along the way were a lot of fun.

由布島への往復は水牛車で移動するのですが、それが本当に素晴らしい体験でした。道中に演奏してくれる三味線と歌が大変楽しかったです。

The driver took us to the Churaumi Aquarium, American Village, and a local Okinawa soba restaurant that only locals know about, and my parents were very satisfied. I definitely want to use this service again.

ドライバーさんが美ら海水族館やアメリカンビレッジ、地元の人しか知らない沖縄そばの店に連れて行ってくれて両親が大変満足してくれました。また是非利用したいです。

It was a windy day, so we couldn't ride the glass boat at Kabira Bay, but I think it's a great way to efficiently tour the attractions of Ishigaki Island. If you want to buy black pearls, make sure to bring plenty of money!

風が強い日で川平湾のグラスボートは乗れませんでしたが、効率よく石垣島の観光スポットを周るにはとてもいいと思います。黒真珠を買いたい人は、お金いっぱいもっていこう！

The bus tour in southern Okinawa was great, with the guide's explanations being easy to understand. This was my fourth time in Okinawa, but it was my first time in the south. I was especially impressed by the length and size of the limestone cave. If I have the opportunity, I will participate in a bus tour again.

沖縄南部バスツアーはガイドさんの説明が分かりやすく良かったです、沖縄県は4回目ですが南部は初めてでした、特に鍾乳洞の長さ広さに感動しました。
又機会があればバスツアーに参加致します。

This is an efficient course that allows you to visit Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island. I think it's great for first-time participants. Unfortunately, the weather was bad from the morning, and we couldn't explore Yufu Island due to the storm, which was disappointing. On Taketomi Island, we had a bus tour, and since it was raining on and off, it was nice to be able to move around without getting wet. However, the last free exploration time was only 15 minutes, which felt a bit rushed, so I would have appreciated a little more time.

西表島、由布島、竹富島を効率よく周れるコースです。初めて参加する人には良いと思います。朝から天気が悪く、由布島では暴風雨で島を散策できなかったのが残念でした。また竹富島はバス観光でしたが、雨が降ったり止んだりだったので、濡れずに移動ができてよかったです。最後の自由散策が15分しかなくて、忙しかったのでもう少し時間があると嬉しいかな。

It was great that the guide, who played the sanshin and sang while riding the water buffalo for the first time, added a touch of charm. Riding the water buffalo through the streets of Taketomi Island made me feel like time was flowing leisurely. I was impressed by the mangroves. It was the best experience, fully enjoyed in just one day.

初めて水牛に乗り、三線を引いて歌を歌ってくれたガイドさんが風情を出してくれて良かったです。竹富島を水牛に乗って街並みを見てゆったりした時間を流れた気がします。マングローブは感激しました。1日で満喫出来て最高でした。

I was able to relax at the Churaumi Aquarium. If I had to wish for something, I would have liked to have a bit more time at American Village to see the illuminations, but overall, I was very satisfied. I participated alone, but I was able to talk with others who were also there alone, as well as families, making it a fun tour and a great memory.

美ら海水族館でゆっくりできました。欲を言えば、アメリカンビレッジに、もう少し滞在時間があってイルミネーションが見られたら良かったとは思いますが、十分満足できるものでした。私は、1人参加でしたが、同じく1人参加の方や、親子参加の方とお話しでき、楽しいツアーで、良い思い出になりました。

I arrived at Ishigaki Airport on the day and participated in a tour at 2:30 PM. The weather was drizzly and the waves were rough, but the rocking of the boat felt like an attraction, and both the kids and we enjoyed it. Taketomi Island is a small island, but it has a peaceful atmosphere, and even in the rain, I enjoyed feeling the unchanged scenery from the past.

当日の昼に石垣空港に到着し、14時半のツアーに参加しました。天気は小雨で波も荒れてましたが、舟の揺れがアトラクションみたいで子供も私たちも楽しんでいました。
竹富島は小さな島ですが、穏やかな時間が流れて、雨でも昔から変わらない風景を感じて楽しかったです。

At the Churaumi Aquarium, the parking lot was quite a distance away, but seeing my companion struggling to walk, I appreciated the consideration to allow us to drive to the entrance of the aquarium. Thank you very much.

美ら海水族館で駐車場からかなり距離がありましたが、歩きにくそうにしていた同行者を見て水族館の入口まで車で移動できるよう配慮していただきました。ありがとうございました。

We were picked up at our hotel for an early start at 7:10 AM to visit three islands. The tour was packed with activities, including a boat ride, water buffalo experience, and a mangrove cruise. It felt like we could see and do everything we wanted with this great tour. The lunch was delicious as well.

Even though it was a cold December, we were fortunate with the weather. In the morning, a short-sleeve shirt was a bit chilly, but by midday, it was hot enough that you needed short sleeves. Riding a bicycle around Taketomi Island made us sweat, but I think it's better to rent a bike if you're going to explore the beaches.

ホテルまで送迎いただき、3島めぐるので朝は7時10分と早めのお迎え。
船も水牛もマングローブクルージングも付いていて盛りだくさん。
行きたい所見たいもの全てこれで叶う感じの良いツアーでした。
ランチも美味しかったです。
12月の寒い時期ですが、お天気にも恵まれ、朝は半袖じゃ寒いですが、昼間は半袖じゃなきゃ暑いくらいでした。
竹富島の自転車巡りは汗だくでしたが、浜巡りするなら自転車借りた方がいいと思います。

The tour was very satisfying, with plenty of experiences including mangrove and water buffalo, as well as Taketomi Island. Each tour guide was very entertaining and their explanations were easy to understand.

マングローブに水牛体験、竹富島もたっぷりと満足できるツアーでした。各ツアーガイドさんもとても面白く、説明も分かりやすかったです。

I extracted the highlights of the three islands (Iriomote Island, Yufu Island, and Taketomi Island), and it was a very satisfying tour. The explanations from the guide at key points were clear and interesting.

三島（西表島、由布島、竹富島）の良い所を抽出してあり、大満足なツアーでした。
要所要所のガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、面白かった。

I participated alone.
If it's your first time in Okinawa, I think it's enough to cover the key spots, even if it's a bit rushed.
You can also buy meals and souvenirs.
One thing that bothered me a bit was that the foreign person in front of me reclined their seat quite a bit, which made it very cramped.
On the way back, perhaps due to traffic, the driving was quite rough, and I felt a bit nauseous. If you're going to hit the weekday rush hour, I think it would be better to depart a little earlier.
However, the staff on the bus were kind, polite, and worked hard, so overall, I’m glad I participated.

一人で参加しました。
沖縄初めてでしたら、駆け足ですが要所を回るには十分だと思います。
食事もお土産も買えます。
少し気になったのは、前の席の外国の方がシートをかなり下げてきたので、非常にキツくなった。
帰りは渋滞したためか、結構運転が荒く、若干酔いました。平日の帰宅ラッシュにぶつかるのであれば、少し早い時間に出発しても良いかと思いました。
なお、バス内の従業員の方は親切丁寧で、一生懸命でしたので、総合的には参加して良かったです。

I was able to visit Kouri Island without using a car or rental car.

At the Tropical Dream Center, the ticket I submitted at the reception had the previous day's date, so they checked it for me, and I was able to enter safely and enjoy the exhibits at my leisure.

American Village was beautiful with Christmas illuminations, and I wished I could have stayed longer.

車やレンタカーを利用せずに古宇利島に行けました。

熱帯ドリームセンターは受付に提出したチケットが
前日の日付になっていたので確認していただき
無事、入場できてゆっくりと鑑賞できました。

アメリカンビレッジはクリスマスのイルミネーションで綺麗で
もっと滞在したかったです。

Although the weather was occasionally rainy, I was happy to be able to experience both the mangrove river cruise and the water buffalo cart on Yufu Island, which are experiences that are hard to come by. Cycling on Taketomi Island was difficult because of the sandy paths. I think it's better to walk around and see the houses on Taketomi Island. All the cafes were closed, so there was nowhere to take a break, and I wanted to relax while enjoying the scenery. Kaiji Beach was narrow, which was a bit disappointing. I realized that the ocean views are all quite similar.

時々雨のお天気でしたが、マングローブの川クルーズも由布島の水牛車もなかなかできない体験を欲張って全部できて、嬉しかった。
竹富島のサイクリングは砂道なので走りにくかった。竹富島は徒歩で家並を見て歩くぐらいがいいかな。カフェが全部お休みで休憩するところがないので、景色を見ながらゆっくりしたかった。カイジ浜は狭くてちょっと残念。
海の景色はみんな似たようなものなのだとわかった。

- I was finally able to land on Iriomote Island.
- I got to interact with the water buffalo. I'm grateful to them.
- The space where the Okinawan butterflies and others flutter around is very heartwarming.

・念願の西表島に上陸出来た。
・水牛たちと触れ合えた。彼らに感謝です。
・オオマダラ他の蝶々が飛び交う空間は大変ほっこりします。

It was a day filled with visiting the famous tourist spots of Ishigaki Island. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

朝から一日、石垣島の有名観光名所のいいところを巡る旅になりました。
このツアーに
参加して本当によかったと思います。

Unlike typical tours, there was no need to confirm the number of participants, which allowed us to act at our own pace without stress. Additionally, everything went smoothly according to the itinerary.

いわゆるツアーとは異なり、人数確認等がないので、ストレスなく自分達のペースで行動できた点が良かった。また、順調に工程表どおりで順調であった。

Churaumi Aquarium is top-notch, but the pineapple farm that was outside of the harvest season and Okashi Goten was the worst.

美ら海水族館は最高ランク、だけどパイナップルの収穫時期を外れたパイナップル園、御菓子御殿は最悪でした。

On my first visit to Miyako Island, I wasn't sure where to go, but they suggested a tour around the island. Miyako Island, Irabu Island, Shimoji Island, Ikema Island, and Kurima Island are all connected by bridges, and driving while enjoying the beautiful sea was very satisfying. The banana cake from the shop they guided me to at the end was also very delicious.

初めての宮古島で、どこに行っていいのかわからなかったのですが、島巡りを提案してくれました。
全て橋で繋がっている宮古島、伊良部島、下地島、池間島、来間島、綺麗な海をみながらのドライブ、満足でした。
最後に案内いただいた、バナナケーキやさんの
ケーキも、とても美味しかったです。

I had long hoped to take a tour on a water buffalo cart. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the driver and everyone else played the sanshin, making it a wonderful experience.

かねてから希望していた水牛車での観光。景色だけでなくドライバー？の方が皆さん三線を奏でてくれ、最高のひと時でした。
