All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

I was able to enjoy Ishigaki Island even without a car. I was able to go to all the places I wanted to, and 2000 yen for five days is a great deal. I recommend it for those who want to go to distant places.

車なしでも石垣島楽しめました。
行きたいところ行けたし、
5日2000円はお得です。
遠いとこ行く方にはおすすめ

It was convenient to have a pickup to the hotel. They were flexible in accommodating my last-minute requests on the day. It was a relaxed and enjoyable day.

ホテルまでお迎えがあり楽チンでした。当日の急なお願いにも柔軟に対応してくれました。気楽で楽しい1日でした。

Generally, you can only purchase with cash, but at Veltra, you can buy with a credit card! Moreover, you can also use coupons, making it a great deal for purchasing passes. The tickets themselves are inexpensive, which is a big help for travel enthusiasts.

原則現金でしか買えませんが、ベルトラではクレジットカードで購入可能です！
しかもクーポンも利用出来て、お得にパスを購入できます。
チケット自体が安いので、旅好きには助かります。

I wanted to visit Churaumi and American Village, so I chose this tour. It efficiently covers other tourist spots in Okinawa, and since it's a bus tour, traveling is quite easy!

Regarding American Village, the time for shopping and dining is a bit short, but there is an option to get off at American Village, which allows for some flexibility.

At the morning meeting point, there was a note to look for the bus, and it described the bus's features, but the bus that arrived was completely different (the description mentioned a white bus, but the one that came was blue). There were many other sightseeing buses parked in the area, and this mistake had a significant impact; there was a possibility that I might not have been able to board the bus at all. Other participants were also confused, saying, "Wait, this isn't the bus we were told about..."

Because of this, I deducted one star.

美ら海やアメリカンビレッジに行きたく、こちらのツアーを選びました。
他にも沖縄の観光地を効率的に回れ、なによりバスツアーなので移動が楽ちん！
アメリカンビレッジについては買い物や食事をするには時間が短めですが、アメリカンビレッジで下車という選択肢もあるので多少自由度もあるかなと思います。

朝の集合時はバスを目印にするよう記載がありバスの特徴も書いてありましたが、来たのは全然違うバスでした（書いてあったのは白いバス、実際に来たのは青いバス）。他にも観光バスが多く停車している場所で、このミスは影響が大きく、場合によってはバスに乗れなかった可能性もあります。他の参加者も「え、聞いてたバスと違う…」と戸惑っていました。
そのため星一つ減らしました。

I enjoyed everything. It was great that my middle school and college kids also had a blast. I ended up soaked from the waist down, probably because we were in a three-person canoe.

どれも楽しめました。中学生、大学生の
子供達も満喫していたのでよかった。カヌーは三人乗りだったせいか下半身はびしょ濡れでした。

I received polite advice at SUP and had a fun experience. Although we couldn't go to the Blue Cave for snorkeling, the weather was nice, and I got to see sea turtles, which made for a delightful time.

ＳＵＰでは丁寧にアドバイスをいただき、楽しく体験できました。
シュノーケリングは青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、お天気も良く、ウミガメにも会えて楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。

Although the number of routes is limited, there are options to go around the island and to Hirakubo Cape. Just going from Ishigaki city to Hirakubo Cape was worth it. The free pass exchange voucher can be purchased on the day, so it's best to buy it a little before you plan to use it.

本数は少ないですが、島一周線や平久保崎へ行くルートがあります。
石垣市街地から平久保崎まで行くだけで元が取れました。
フリーパスの引換券は当日購入可なので、利用の少し前に購入するのが良いでしょう。

I booked a mangrove kayak tour, but due to heavy rain, it was deemed dangerous, so they changed it to a beach snorkeling experience. They made a quick decision and provided an alternative plan.

Given the many accidents that occur in marine sports, I appreciate their safety-first approach, which builds trust. The snorkeling was also a great choice, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea immensely.

The guide was knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable. I would love to use their services again.

マングローブカヤックで予約しましたが、大雨の影響で危険とのことで、ビーチシュノーケルに変更してくださいました。迅速な判断と他のプランを用意くださいました。
マリンスポーツでの事故も多い中で、安全第一の判断をしてくださり、信用ができます。
シュノーケルも大正解で、とても美しい海を堪能できました。
ガイドさんも知識豊富でとっても楽しい時間でした。また利用したいです。

Due to the weather and the number of participants, we switched from SUP + snorkeling at Cape Kawaiwa to mangrove SUP. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed at first, but it turned out to be incredibly fun!

Akiyama, our guide, kept the atmosphere lively and engaged with us, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience throughout✨. Thanks to that, I was able to naturally converse with other guests, and the overall vibe of the tour was really great! The time spent leisurely moving through the mangroves was also very pleasant, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience in its own right🌿. Although the plan changed, it became a wonderful memory! Thank you so much😊.

天候と催行人数の関係で、川平湾でのSUP＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングからマングローブSUPに変更になりました。
正直ちょっと残念だなーと思っていたのですが、結果めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

担当してくださった秋山さんがずっと明るく話しかけてくださって、場を盛り上げてくれたおかげで終始リラックスして楽しめました✨
そのおかげで他のお客さんとも自然に会話ができて、ツアー全体がすごくいい雰囲気だったのも印象的でした！
マングローブの中をゆったり進む時間もすごく気持ちよくて、これはこれで大当たりでした🌿
変更になったけど、むしろ良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました😊

I was looking forward to American Village, but my stay was short, and I only got to experience the atmosphere.

The most concerning point was that the tour guide (who was Korean) rushed off to the destination as soon as we got off the bus, making it difficult to ask any questions. I could barely keep up with them, which was quite frustrating.

Since I had participated in a tour with another bus company the day before, I could really feel the difference in service. There was a lack of hospitality.

The travel time on the bus was long, so I would have appreciated a bit more sightseeing information.

アメリカンビレッジを楽しみにしていたので、滞在時間が短くて雰囲気だけ味わった。
一番気になる点は、添乗員の方（韓国人）がバスから降りたら一目散に目的地に早足で向かい（質問など出来ない状態）付いていくのがやっとで、とても困った。
前日ほかのバス会社のツアーに参加したので、サービスの差を感じた。
おもてなしの心がなかった。
移動バス時間も長かったので、少し観光案内が欲しかった。

I realized this time that it costs over 1,000 yen one way just to go from my home to the city, so I should use this for regular trips. Without knowing this, I used a touch payment for the outbound trip and took advantage of the one-day free pass for the return. From next time, I want to make sure to use it for the outbound trip as well.

自宅から街中へ行くだけで片道千円以上かかるので、普段使いで使うべきということが今回分かりました。そうと知らずに片道はタッチ決済で乗ってしまい、帰りはこの1日フリーパスを利用しました。次回からは行きの時点で使うようにしたいと思います。

The weather was nice, and our guide was very cheerful and fun. Every moment from the talks inside the tour until it ended was enjoyable! There are other tours available, and I'm looking forward to participating in those as well! Even those who can't swim are well taken care of, so anyone can join with peace of mind!

天気も良くて担当ガイドの方もすごく明るく楽しい社内の中のトークからツアーが終わるまでの全ての時間が楽しかったです！
また違うツアーがありますので、そちらの方も参加するのが楽しみです！
泳げない方でもしっかり対応してくださるので誰でも安心して参加できます！

We participated in Hina's tour as a family. There were small children with us, but we were taught very carefully. Everyone in the family was very satisfied. We would like to participate again.

ひなさんのツアーに家族で参加しました。
小さい子どももいましたが、とても丁寧に教えてもらいました。家族全員大満足でした。また参加したいです。

Finally got to try SUP at Kawahira Bay. The wind blowing down from the mountains was strong, making it difficult to maintain balance, but I was able to glide smoothly over the water. Even if I fell into the sea, I felt safe wearing a life jacket. The instructor was very attentive, so even beginners can give it a try!

*The photo is of the scenery at Kawahira Bay, which is different from the location where we did SUP.

念願の川平湾でのSUP。
山から吹き下ろす風が強く、バランスを取るのが大変でしたが、気持ち良く海の上を進むことができました。海に落ちてしまっても、ライフジャケットを着ているので安心です。
インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初心者の方でもチャレンジできます！

※写真はSUPを実施する場所とは異なる川平湾の風景です。

With a guided experience that included singing and performances, we were able to spend a pleasant time. I think both first-timers and those returning for a second time will enjoy it.

ガイド付きで歌や演奏もあって、和やかに過ごすことができました。
初めての人も2回目以降の人も楽しめると思います。

I was able to visit the attractions without wasting time, and I am very satisfied. The time management was perfect as well. The guide explained everything very clearly, and it was a lot of fun.

無駄なく名所を回れて　とても満足してます　時間配分もバッチリでした
ガイドさんもとてもわかりやすく説明してくれて　とても楽しかったです

To be honest, before going to Ishigaki Island, I was worried that not many people would use this pass and that I might feel confused about it, but there was no need to worry.

You could say that almost everyone, tourists included, was using it. It's a great convenience since you just need to show it to the driver without having to wave it around to get on and off.

This pass became an essential travel companion for me, a minor who couldn't rent a car!

If you keep it tucked behind your smartphone case, it saves you the hassle of taking it out, making it super convenient!

実際のところ、石垣島に行く前は、このパスを使う人があまりいなく、戸惑われたらどうしようかと心配もありましたが、心配はいりませんでした。

ほぼみんなと言っていいほど、観光客は利用していました。かざすこともなく、運転手さんに見せるだけで乗り降り出来る優れもの。

このパスは、レンタカーに乗れない未成年の私には欠かせない旅のお供となりました！

スマホケースの裏に挟んでおくと、取り出す手間も省けて楽！です！

They kindly accommodated my sudden request for an additional fun dive. Since it had been a while since my last dive, they even arranged for an instructor to ensure I could dive at a comfortable pace. I forgot to ask for their name, but I felt safe while diving. Thank you!

急なファンダイブ追加にも快く対応いただきました。久しぶりのダイビングだったので、ゆっくり潜れるようにわざわざインストラクターさんを付けて下さいました。お名前を伺うのを忘れてしまいましたが安心して潜れました。ありがとう。

It seemed to be a popular tour worldwide, with plenty of inbound guests. There were only two Japanese people, including myself. I was able to enjoy an atmosphere that felt like diving abroad. We were able to see whales beautifully, and the diving experience was enjoyable. However, since there was no free camera rental, I rated it four stars. Thank you very much.

世界中で人気のツアーのようでインバウンド客がいっぱいでした。日本人は私を含めて２名のみ。まるで海外でダイブする様な雰囲気を楽しめました。クジラも見事ウオッチできダイビングも楽しく終わりました。ただカメラ無料レンタルではなかったので星４つとさせて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

The snorkeling guides were Makocchan and Soutakun! Both were cheerful and friendly, and their explanations were easy to understand, making it enjoyable and reassuring even for first-timers.

The snorkeling location changed due to sea conditions, but it turned out to be a great decision! I was thrilled to swim with sea turtles, which was a dream come true 🐢✨✨ I got so excited that I almost drowned... haha.

And for my first time on a SUP, we went into the mangroves. The quiet and surreal scenery was breathtaking... it was incredibly healing!! ✨✨

I did fall off the SUP a few times, but that just added to the fun, and I made some amazing memories. ☺️

Thank you so much, Makocchan and Soutakun! I definitely want to go again! When I do, I hope to have you as my guides again! 🤘

シュノーケリングのガイドはまこっちゃんSUPはそうたくん！
どちらも明るくて気さくで説明もわかりやすく、初めてでも安心して楽しめました。

海の状況でシュノーケリングの場所は変更になりましたがそれが大当たり！！
念願の海亀と一緒に泳げて感動🐢✨✨
興奮しすぎてあわや溺れるかと…笑

そして初めてのSUPはマングローブの中へ。
静かで幻想的な景色が広がって…
めっちゃ癒されたーーーッ！！✨✨

しっかりSUPから落ち、掴みは👍
それも含めて楽しくて最高の思い出ができました。☺️

まこっちゃん、そうたくん
本当にありがとうございました😊
また絶対行きたいです！
その時はまたガイドよろしくーー🤘

It would be really convenient if our schedule matched the bus timetable! Since there are few buses, we ended up waiting a lot...

自分たちの予定とバスの時刻表があっていたらすごく便利！本数が少ないので、バス待ちの時間などは出ました…

Overall, it was a packed schedule, so there wasn't much time, but the guide was wonderful, explaining everything in detail. She was a Korean sister, and I felt like cheering her on as she worked hard to speak Japanese.

全体的にぎゅっとしたプランなので、時間はありませんが、ガイドのお姉さんが丁寧に色々説明していて素敵でした。韓国オンニでしたが、一生懸命日本語を話してて応援したくなりました。

I was able to see various kinds of fish, and I even got to meet a sea turtle, which made for the best memories! The guide was entertaining and explained everything clearly, and in the end, I jumped off from the second floor of the boat, haha! I thoroughly enjoyed the waters of Kerama!

様々な種類の魚が見れた他、
ウミガメにも会えて最高の思い出です！
ガイドさんも面白くわかりやすく説明してくださり、最後は船の二階から飛び込みww
慶良間の海を堪能できました！

On the last day in Ishigaki Island, I participated in a tour to make use of the time before my flight. It was a tour that allowed us to visit many of Ishigaki Island's famous spots all at once. Both the guide and the driver were very nice, and since I was traveling alone and didn't rent a car, there were many places that would have been difficult for me to reach, so I’m really glad I joined the tour! From the car window, they also showed us the mangrove trees and a shisa farm. I thought it would have been even better if there were tours that allowed us to get off at the shisa farm and Yaima Village.

石垣島最終日、飛行機までの時間を利用して参加しました。
石垣島の名所を一気に巡れるツアーで、ガイドさんも運転手さんもとっても良い方で、ひとり旅でレンタカーもしなかった私には、なかなか行きづらい場所も多かったので、参加して良かったです♪♪
車窓から、一本マングローブや、シーサー農園なども案内してくれました。
シーサー農園や、やいま村も下車するツアーがあればもっと良いのにと思いました。

I was able to enjoy both stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling safely. I don't have swimming skills or athletic ability, but I was provided with a life jacket, foot fins, and a wetsuit, so there were no problems.

There was about a two-hour gap between the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, which felt a bit long, so I thought it would be better if the intervals were shorter.

サップとシュノーケリングどちらも安全に楽しめました。泳ぎスキルも運動神経もないですが、ライフジャケット、足のフィン、ウェットスーツも渡していただけたので、問題ありませんでした。
サップとシュノーケリングの間に2時間ほど空き時間があるのが、時間を持て余したので、もう少し間が短いと良いなと思いました。

The guide, Dora, was really great. The other staff members were also very cheerful and kind. There were repeat visitors, and I understood the meaning of that.

ガイドのドーアさんが本当に良かったです。他のスタッフの方々もとても明るく親切でした。リピーターの方もいらっしゃってその意味が理解できました。

I participated for the first time. I was so nervous that at first, it was really scary, but once I got used to it, I had so much fun that I want to participate again.

初めて参加させてもらいました
緊張しすぎて最初は怖くて仕方がなかったがなれてきたら楽しくて楽しくてまた参加したい

I was able to fully enjoy the essence of Okinawa in just one day! Everywhere was so appealing that I ran out of time, so next time I want to take plenty of time to explore the key spots. This time, the driver and the tour guide were both very nice people, which made the experience even more enjoyable! Thank you!

1日で沖縄らしさを満喫出来ました！どこも魅力的で滞在時間が足りなくなってしまったので、次は要所要所にたっぷり時間をかけて見て回りたいと思います。
今回は運転手さん並びに添乗員さんがとても良い人柄でより楽しめました！ありがとうございました！

I was amazed by the vastness of the limestone formations in Ishigaki. They were very beautiful and magnificent, and I could feel the passage of time. I also recommend the glass-bottom boat in Kabira.

石垣の鍾乳の広大さに驚きました
とても綺麗で壮大で年月を感じました
また川平でのグラスボートはお勧めです

They taught me how to ride carefully, and I was able to ride easily even as a beginner. I was moved by the beauty of the ocean, the stunning scenery, and the pleasant breeze! I'm so glad I did it!!

Unfortunately, due to bad weather, I couldn't go snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but they were very accommodating. I want to try again!

乗り方から丁寧に教えてくださり、初めてでも簡単に乗ることができました。
海の美しさや綺麗な景色、心地よい風、全てに感動しました！やってよかったです！！

残念ながら天候不良で、青の洞窟のシュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、丁寧に対応していただきました。リベンジしたいです！
