All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

The weather was great, and the waves were calm! The snorkeling was amazing, and the banana boat was the fastest and most powerful one I've ever been on! It was the first time I got thrown off, haha.

天気にも恵まれ、波も穏やかでした！
シュノーケリングも最高でしたし、バナナボートは今まで乗ったバナナボードの中で一番スピードと威力のあるバナナボートでした！振り落とされたのは初めてです笑。

I participated during my free time at the airport. A dandy bus guide takes you around the sights along with shamisen music and beautiful island songs. It includes a meal and airport transfer, so I can recommend it if you want to compactly visit the highlights of Ishigaki Island.

They also point out exquisite photo spots, so it's a good idea to actively ask for photos!

空港前の空き時間に参加。三味線と素敵な島唄とともに、ダンディーなバスガイドさんが名所を回ってくれます。お食事つきで空港送迎ありなので、コンパクトに石垣島の名所を回りたい場合にはお勧めできます。

絶妙なフォトスポットも教えていただけるので、積極的にお写真をお願いするといいです！！

It was my first activity in a while, but for my wife and child, it was their first experience with sea kayaking and snorkeling, which made them quite nervous during the preparation stage. On the day of the activity, we were blessed with great weather and a wonderful guide, making it an absolutely amazing day. The waters of Okinawa are beautiful, and the temperature is more comfortable than in Kansai, making us not want to leave. Time flew by so quickly. During the sea kayaking, we even had drone footage taken, and the wide-angle shots were incredibly satisfying. This is definitely a point I want to recommend to everyone. If you don’t capture it, you might regret it. You can get footage of yourself enjoying the sea all to yourself. In snorkeling, my daughter, who could finally put her face in the water, was able to enjoy it with a mask on. Thanks to the guide's coaching and the buoyancy of the wetsuit, she had an absolute blast. She was searching for fish and even feeding them, and she said she wanted to do it again tomorrow because it was so much fun. As someone who has always loved activities, it was a wonderful memory for the whole family to enjoy together.

私自身は久々のアクティビティでしたが、妻と子供はシーカヤックもシュノーケリングも初めての体験で準備段階からハラハラドキドキ。当日は天気にもガイドさんにも恵まれてめちゃくちゃ最高な1日に。沖縄の海はきれいだし、関西よりも気温が過ごしやすいしで、帰りたくなくなります。あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。シーカヤックではドローン撮影もして頂き、大空間の映像も大満足。これは皆さんに是非すすめたいポイントです。撮らないと多分後悔しちゃうと思いますよ。海を独り占めしている映像を撮影してもらえます。シュノーケリングでは顔がやっと水につけれる様になった娘が、なんとマスクをして水面に顔を付けて楽しめるまでに。ガイドさんのコーチングとウェットスーツの浮力も相まって、めちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。泳いでいる魚を探したり、エサやりもできたりで、面白かったのか明日もやりたいと言う状態に。アクティビティが昔から大好きな私は、家族全員が楽しく過ごせて、大変良い思い出となりました。

I participated with my child.
We were blessed with good weather, and the guide's explanations, which included local dialect, made for a travel experience that couldn't be enjoyed alone.
We were also able to stop by the airport in Ishigaki, which helped with moving our luggage.
Kabayama was great.

親子２人で参加しました。
天気にも恵まれ、ガイドさんの方言を交えた案内もあった為、個人では味わえない旅になりました。
石垣島の空港への途中下車も出来た為、荷物を持っての移動も助かりました。
川平良かったです。

I participated with my Korean husband♪ It was my first time diving, so I was a bit nervous, but thanks to our guide, I had a great time!

Once we set off on the boat, we received a thorough lecture that included fun stories about how to wear goggles and masks, how to breathe, and hand signals for emergencies. It was great that there was also guidance in English for foreign participants♪

When we arrived at the diving point, we entered the water to get accustomed and received another lecture. Once we felt comfortable, we paired up and experienced diving while being guided by our instructor!

The underwater scenery was beautiful and enjoyable♪ I would have appreciated it if we could have taken a few more photos. (It seemed like other guides were taking various types of pictures...) But overall, I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

I was also able to see sea turtles, which made me very satisfied♪ Thank you!

韓国人の夫と参加しました♪
ダイビングは初めてだったので、少し緊張もありましたが、ガイドさんのおかげで楽しめました！

船で出発すると、ゴーグルとマスクの付け方から呼吸の仕方、緊急時のためのハンドサインなど、楽しいお話を交えた丁寧なレクチャーを受けました。
外国の方向けにも英語での案内があり、とても良かったです♪

ダイビングポイントに着くと、少し水に慣れるために海に入りレクチャーを受けます。慣れてきたところで、2人一組になってガイドさんに手を引っ張ってもらう形で体験ダイビングが行われました！

海の中はとても綺麗で楽しかったです♪もう少しだけ写真をたくさん撮ってくださると嬉しかったです。(他のガイドさんは色々なバリエーションの写真を撮っていたようでしたので、、)でも、十分楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

海亀も見ることができて大満足です♪ありがとうございました！

I had a wonderful day with my friend on our trip to Okinawa. We visited popular tourist spots like the beach and the aquarium. The service was excellent.

沖縄の旅で友人と楽しい一日を過ごした。
海や水族館などの人気な観光地を旅行した。
接客はとっても良かったです。

It was so noisy that I felt sick and fell asleep. Did you not wake me up even when we arrived at the destination? Because of that, I couldn't do any sightseeing. The optional glass-bottom boat also turned into a rescue for a broken boat, so it wasn't sightseeing at all. Give me my money back!

うるさいので気分が悪く寝ていたら、目的地に到着しても起こさない？おかげで観光もできず。
オプションのグラスポートも故障したボートの救援になり、観光になっていない。お金を返せ❗️

It was a trip with my child, and it had been four years since we were forced to cancel due to COVID-19. I couldn't make a reservation for a rental car, so I planned to spend time at the hotel, but since I wanted to go to the aquarium, we joined a tour. This was my child's sixth time and my tenth time in Okinawa, but the guide's explanations were very easy to understand, and I learned a lot of new things, so it was really enjoyable. At the end, we all sang a song together, which was quite moving. Since there was a set meeting time, it can be quite challenging with kids, but the tour was packed with activities, and even repeat visitors like us had a great time. The price was reasonable, and I highly recommend it!

子供と2人での旅行でしたが、コロナでキャンセルを余儀なくされてから4年ぶりでした。レンタカーの予約が出来なかったので、ホテルで過ごすつもりでしたが、水族館は行きたかったので、ツアーに参加しました。子供は6回目、私は10回目の沖縄でしたが、ガイドさんの説明がとても分かりやすく、初めて知ることも多かったので、とても楽しかったです。最後に、みんなで歌を歌ったのが、うるっときました。集合時間が決まっているので、子連れだとなかなか大変ですが、ギュッと詰まった観光で、リピーターでも楽しめました。値段もお手頃でおすすめできます！

I visited in August when the effects of the typhoon were still lingering.

The sea was stunningly beautiful. It made me want to jump in, but swimming was prohibited. So, the only way to see the underwater scenery was by glass-bottom boat.

That said, this was actually my third visit to Kabira Bay, but it was my first time riding a glass-bottom boat.

In conclusion, I think it's something you should experience at least once.

Making a reservation in advance can save you some money.

台風の影響残る8月に行きました。

ハッとするほど美しい海。
思わず入りたくなるけれど、遊泳禁止。
だから中を見るにはグラスボートしかないのです。

と言いながら

実は3度目の川平湾ですが、初めてグラスボートに乗りました。
結論。
一度は乗るべきだと思います。

事前予約だとお安く済みます。

We explored coral and sea turtles near Nugan Island, about a 30-minute trip from Naha. The beautiful sea and tropical fish provided a wonderful experience, and the kids were very excited. The turtles were resting quite deep and weren't moving, so if you're expecting large sea turtles like in Hawaii, it might be a bit different, but we were able to see them. The staff was kind and it was very good overall.

It might have been a special day with some swells on the water after the typhoon, but out of about 50 people on board, around 35 were suffering from seasickness, and several were vomiting, making the boat a bit chaotic. Some people even had to give up on the planned activities. It's advisable to take anti-nausea medication and be careful with meals beforehand.

那覇から30分くらい移動した、ヌガンヌ島の近くで珊瑚と海亀探検をしました。美しい海と熱帯魚は素晴らしい経験になり、子供も大興奮。亀はけっこう深いところで寝ていて動いておらず、ハワイのような大きな海亀を期待すると少し違いますが、見ることができました。スタッフさんも親切でとても良かったです。
台風明けでやや海面にうねりがあるなか特殊な日であったかもしれませんが、全体の50名いた中で35名くらいは船酔いで苦しんでおり、何名も吐いていて船上はややカオスで予定していたアクティビティを断念していた人もいました。酔い止めの薬や、事前の食事には気をつけた方がいいです。

I was worried about going to Okinawa due to the typhoon, but the flight operated safely and I arrived in Okinawa.
The weather was still unstable and I had various concerns, but it didn't rain during my trip except while I was on the bus.
During the journey, the guide taught us various things, such as the pronunciation of place names and personal names in Okinawa, Okinawan folk songs, and the Okinawan language, which was great.
I was anxious about driving a rental car in an area where I didn't understand the traffic conditions, and I wouldn't have gained knowledge about Okinawa otherwise.
If I have the opportunity, I would like to use this service again next time.
Thank you very much.

台風で沖縄に行るか心配していましたが、飛行機が無事に運航され沖縄に来ました。
まだまだ不安定な天気でいろいろと心配しましたが、バス乗車中以外は雨が降ることなく旅ができました。
道中ではガイドさんの沖縄の地名や人名の読み方、沖縄民謡、沖縄の言葉など色々なことを教えていただけたので良かったです。
自分でレンタカーで移動となると交通事情の分からないところを走る不安があったし、沖縄に関する知識も得られることがなかったから。
機会があれば次も利用させていただきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in snorkeling for the first time with a friend.

We traveled by boat to the diving spot, and there were about 20 to 30 participants for both the snorkeling and diving experiences, which made the boarding and wetsuit instructions quite hectic, haha.

The explanation for snorkeling was thorough, and the instructor pulled a kickboard to help beginners keep up, so I was able to enjoy observing the underwater world with peace of mind! During the break, I also had a nice chat with another solo participant, which was a memorable part of the trip.

I was able to fully enjoy the corals and fish underwater, as well as the unique scenery of Okinawa, making it a wonderful memory.

シュノーケリング初めての友人と二人で参加してきました。

ダイビングスポットまでは船で移動するのですが、
シュノーケリング体験とダイビング体験の参加者、合わせて２〜３０名ぐらいが一緒に参加するスタイルでした。
そのため乗船やウェットスーツ着用の指示が結構バタバタしていました　笑

シュノーケルの説明は丁寧でしたし、初心者でもついてこられるよう
インストラクターの方がビート板を引っ張ってくれたので
安心して海中観察を楽しめました！
また休憩時間には一人参加者の方とお喋りするなど
旅先の交流も楽しめたのが印象的でした。

海中のサンゴや魚の様子、沖縄ならではの景色を堪能できて
とてもいい思い出になりました。

After the typhoon passed, I was told in advance that the waves were high and we might not be able to go to Kerama, but somehow we were able to go. The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I finally got to see a sea turtle, which I hadn't encountered on any other tours. It was the best moment! The instructors were all wonderful people, and I could feel their love for the ocean. I'm really glad I participated.

台風が去ったあとで、波が高いので慶良間まで行けないかもと事前にいわれましたが、なんとか連れて行ってもらえました。
海は最高に綺麗で、どこのツアーに参加してもなかなか出会えなかったウミガメにようやく出会うことができて最高のひとときでした！
インストラクターも皆素敵な人たちでしたし、海を大切にしているのを感じました。
参加してよかったです。

The drink service was flashy, but it was just water. I couldn't take a proper shower. In the photos, it's hard to tell which one is me. Well, at least I was able to do it safely, so that's good.

ドリンクサービスと派手にあったが水のみ。
シャワーも十分にはできず。
写真は、どれが自分か判然とせず。
まぁでも安全にできたからいいか、です

I learned a lot from the detailed explanation of Ishigaki Island's history. Since it was a hot season, the air-conditioned bus tour was incredibly comfortable.

石垣島の歴史的など丁寧に説明していただきとても勉強になりました。暑い季節だったのでクーラーの効いたバス観光が最高に快適でした。

I have gone boat snorkeling in Okinawa several times, but this was the first time I encountered a sea turtle! I had a great time with a friendly guide.

何度か沖縄でボートシュノーケルしましたが初めてウミガメに会えました！親切なガイドさんと楽しく過ごせました

The ferry ride was quite long, and everyone, including us, was exhausted on the way there. However, seeing the sea of Tokashiki completely blew away that fatigue. Many of the instructors were very kind, and we had a meaningful time. The sea of Tokashiki is the best! I'm glad we did our first beach outing and snorkeling here!

高速船での移動はなかなかの長時間で、行きは私たち含めて皆さんがヘトヘトになっていましたが、
渡嘉敷の海を見て、そんな疲れもすっかり吹き飛んでしまいました。
インストラクターの方々もとても親切な方が多く、有意義な時間を過ごせました。
渡嘉敷の海は最高です！
初めの海水浴、そしてシュノーケリングがここで良かったです❗️

I arrived a bit early, but they were able to adjust the boat schedule for us. On the glass-bottom boat, we were able to slowly see beautifully colored fish and sea turtles. The moment we spotted a sea turtle, there was a cheer from everyone on the boat! The person steering the boat stopped every time a sea turtle was found! I thought we wouldn't see Nemo (the clownfish), but we ended up seeing one at the end! I believe there are certain timings, but we were able to see everything we wanted! I'm really glad we got to see such a beautiful ocean. My 2-year-and-9-month-old son also enjoyed it! The free parking was a great help too!

少し早めに着いてしまいましたが、
船の時間を早めていただけました。
グラスボートでは、色が綺麗な魚や海亀をゆっくりと見せていただけました。
海亀が見えた瞬間、ボート内は歓声が上がりました笑。操縦してくださっていた方は海亀が見つかるたびに船を止めてくださいました！
ニモ(カクレクマノミ)は見れなかったね〜と思っていたら最後に見せていただけました！タイミング等あるかと思いますが見てみたかったもの全て見せていただきました！とても綺麗な海を見れてよかったです。2歳9ヶ月の息子も楽しんでいました♪
無料駐車場付きも助かりました！

I had my first scuba diving experience. The guides were kind and taught us well, which made me feel at ease. As an older man, I find that I don't get to experience many exciting moments in my daily life, but this scuba diving experience truly moved me and lifted my spirits. For those who are interested but have never tried it, I highly recommend this tour. The price is reasonable, but the experience is worth much more. I would love to participate again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

初めてのスキューバやらせて頂きました。
ガイドの方々が優しく教えてくれたので安心でした。
自分はオッサンで普段の生活ではなかなか感動することって減って来ていましたが、今回のスキューバは本当に感動してテンション上がりました。興味はあるけどやったことない方は是非こちらのツアーで体験して頂きたい。
値段はそこそこかかりますが、値段以上の感動があります。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

Guide Tamaki was amazing!!! They kindly showed us around, and we made wonderful memories. 50 minutes at Ryukyu Village and 2 hours at Churaumi Aquarium were just right! We had a short stay at Kouri Island and Manzamo, but we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The tour went smoothly.

ガイドの玉城さんは最高でした！！！優しく案内してくれて、素敵な思い出ができました。琉球村で50分、美ら海水族館で2時間は十分！古宇利島と万座毛は短く滞在したけど、綺麗な景色を拝見しました。ツアーはスムーズに行われました。

I participated alone, but it was incredibly fun!
The weather was uncertain, and I was informed the day before that the waves might be high, but we were able to safely reach Kerama.
I am grateful to all the staff♪
It was my first snorkeling experience, and they taught me carefully, so I was able to enjoy it.
If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to go.

一人で参加しましたけど最高に楽しかったです！
この日は天気が危ぶまれ波も高いかもと前日にお知らせがありましたが
無事に慶良間まで行くことができました。
スタッフの皆様に感謝♪
初めてのシュノーケリング体験でしたが丁寧に教えてくれたので楽しむことが出来ました。
また機会がありましたら是非行ってみたいです。

This was my first trip to Okinawa, just my son and me. I was worried about the weather, but we made some wonderful memories. My son also had his first snorkeling experience, which turned out to be amazing. He really enjoyed jumping into the sea from the slide on the boat and did it multiple times. The staff were very kind, and I felt safe while snorkeling. I accidentally left something behind, but they kindly helped me with that, which I truly appreciated. Thank you for your support! I will definitely use your services again when I visit Okinawa!

　初めての沖縄、息子と2人旅行でした。天気が心配でしたが とても楽しい思い出ができました。　息子も初めてのシュノーケリング、最高の経験になりました。
船から滑り台で海へ飛び込むのもとても楽しかったそうで、何度もやらせてもらいました。
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、安心してシュノーケリングができました。
　私の不注意で忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、それにも親切に対応して頂き本当に有り難かったです。お世話になりました、ありがとうございました！
また沖縄に行った際には是非利用させて頂きます！

Due to the typhoon, I could only visit two places, but I was still very satisfied! I can't swim, so I stayed close to the diver, who took photos of the clownfish up close with my smartphone and taught me a lot about the fish. Next time, I want to participate when the weather is stable! ^ ^

台風の影響で2か所しか回れませんでしたが、それでも大満足でした！
私は泳げないのでずっとダイバーさんの近くにいましたが、私のスマホでクマノミを近くから撮影してきてくれたり、魚のことをたくさん教えていただきました。
次は天候が安定している時に参加したいです^ ^

Guide Mr. Kaneshiro was very kind and taught my daughter a lot in a very polite manner. There were an incredible number of fish, and the Blue Cave was beautiful. It had been closed until the day before, so we were lucky to get in at just the right time.

ガイドの金城さんが娘にもとても丁寧に優しく
いろいろ教えてくれて
魚もめちゃくちゃ多くて
青の洞窟も綺麗でした
前の日まで閉鎖でピンポイントで入れて
ラッキーでした

The Aisa show was good. I forgot that the hub and mongoose show has had its thrilling duels banned in recent years for animal protection, so I only got to see the snake walking. The snake seemed like it was napping, barely moving even when poked, and only finally moved at the end. I was disappointed because I was expecting the old show.

エイサーショウが良かった。ハブとマングースのショウは、動物保護で近年迫力ある決闘が禁止されたのを忘れていて、蛇が歩くのを見るだけだった。その蛇が昼寝の最中みたいで、突かれても全く動かず、最後にやっと動いた感じで昔のショウを期待していたのでガックリ来た。

The time allocation at Pineapple Park is long. It would be better if we could increase the time spent on Kouri Island, as it was the best part, and have lunch there.

パイナップルパークの時間配分が長い。一番良かった古宇利島の時間を増やしランチできたらもっと良しかと。

We had to change our plans to a half-day diving and snorkeling tour due to Typhoon No. 5 approaching. Even with the sudden change, they responded quickly, and we were able to see the beautiful waters of Okinawa, which made both my child and me very satisfied. When I asked my child what was the most fun part of this trip, they said it was seeing the beautiful sea while snorkeling. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to visit the wonderful waters of Kerama. This was my second time diving in Kerama after 30 years, but both times I couldn't go because of the typhoon. I definitely want to visit the waters of Kerama again when I come back to Okinawa.

台風5号が近づいて急遽半日体験ダイビングとスノーケルのツアーに変更した。
急な変更も、素早く対応して頂き、綺麗な沖縄の海を見れて、私も子供も大満足でした。
今回の旅行で、何が1番楽しかったかと子供に聞いたら、綺麗な海をスノーケルで見れた事と言っていました。
欲を言えば慶良間の素敵な海に行きたかった。
今回30年ぶりの沖縄で、2回目の慶良間でのダイビングを希望して2回とも台風でかなわなかった。
また、沖縄旅行に来た時は是非慶良間の海を訪れたいです。

I went on a trial diving experience on July 25, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were kind and provided detailed instructions. I would love to try it again when I come back to Okinawa!

It seems there are no Korean staff, but they conduct the sessions in English as well! Just a heads up :)

７月２５日に体験ダイビングをしたんですが、
すごく素敵な経験でした！
スタッフさんたちも親切で詳しい教えてくれました。
また沖縄に来たらもう一度やってみたいです^^

한국인 스텝은 안 계신 것 같은데 영어로도 진행하시네요! 참고하세요:)

I participated in a tour with my mother and my 6-year-old child starting at 7 AM. On this day, it was just the three of us, which felt like a private tour. The guide explained the snorkeling instructions in a way that was easy for my child to understand, and during snorkeling, he kindly adjusted my child's goggles multiple times. He was always attentive to my child, who had trouble relaxing in the water, and was quick to respond to any issues. He was a kind and very caring guide.

The snorkeling spot was close to the parking lot, so we didn't get tired.

The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and the fish were adorable. Both my child and I were very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. I was also happy that we got to take a lot of photos.

母と6歳の子どもと一緒に朝7時〜のツアーで参加。
この日は私達親子の貸切状態でした。
シュノーケル前の説明を分かりやすく子どもにもして下さったのと、シュノーケリング中に何度も子どものゴーグルなどを直してくださったり、シュノーケリング中になかなか力を抜く事の出来なかった子どもを常に気にかけて何かあればすぐに対処して下さった、優しくてとても面倒見の良いガイドのお兄さんでした。

シュノーケリング場所まで駐車場から近く疲れませんでした。

青の洞窟はとっても綺麗で魚も可愛かったです。
子どもも私も満足なシュノーケリングでした。
写真も沢山撮っていただいて嬉しかったです。

I was glad to be able to efficiently explore Okinawa. It's important to take measures against the heat. The guide was doing a great job. By the time we reached the last stop, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I was completely exhausted.

効率的に沖縄観光できてよかった。暑さ対策が必要ですね。ガイドさん頑張ってました。最後の御菓子御殿の時は疲れはてました。
