All Reviews for 沖繩活動

I traveled to Okinawa with my daughter. We stayed at a hotel near Naha Port in Naha City because we planned to go on a Kerama Islands tour. Since I can't drive, I signed up for this bus tour, which was close to the meeting point and allowed us to visit all the sightseeing spots we wanted. Most of the other participants were Korean and Chinese, but there were no issues, and we had a great time sightseeing.

We were very satisfied with the three hours at the Churaumi Aquarium, but the 20 minutes on Kouri Island went by in a flash, and we didn't even have time for tea. I wished we could have explored the island a bit more leisurely, so I would have preferred about an hour there. That's why I rated it ★★★★.

On the bus, instead of a guide, we were given a small device that provided explanations in eight languages, which was helpful. We had a fulfilling day from morning until evening, and I was very satisfied. Thank you for taking care of us for the day. My daughter also said she had a lot of fun.

娘と２人での沖縄旅行。慶良間ツアーに行く予定だったので、那覇市内の那覇港近くのホテルに宿泊しました。
運転が出来ないので、集合場所が近く、行きたい観光地全てに行けるこのバスツアーに申し込みしました。
周りはほぼ韓国、中国人でしたが特に問題もなく、楽しく観光できました。
美ら海水族館の3時間は大満足でしたが、古宇利島での20分はあっという間で、お茶も出来ませんでした。島内をもう少しゆっくり見たかったので、1時間ぐらい欲しかったかな。なので、★4つの満足で。
車内では、ガイドさんの代わりに8ヶ国語？対応の小さな器械を渡され、観光地の説明を聞く事ができました。
朝から夕方まで充実した１日を過ごせて満足です。
１日お世話になり有難うございました。
娘も楽しかったと喜んでました。

We participated as a family this time. At first, I was wondering how my 5-year-old daughter (it was her first experience) would do, but as we prepared various equipment like wetsuits, she became cheerful! However, when the board started moving to the point, her mood gradually changed... When we arrived at the point and it was time to set off, she started to whine, saying, "I'm scared, I don't want to go," which was a bit troublesome. With the help of the instructor, we managed to convince her to start. Even when we entered the sea, she was still half-crying... But the instructor stayed with her one-on-one, and little by little, she got used to it. Perhaps she was moved by the world she saw underwater, as she quickly returned to being cheerful. After that, she started diving on her own and thoroughly enjoyed her first snorkeling experience. By the time we had to get back on the board, she was being a bit stubborn, saying, "I still want to do it, I don't want to get out..." The cave was very mystical, and I was impressed by the beautiful scenery. Each family has a dedicated instructor, so parents can take care of their children without missing out on the fun. This is a very reassuring plan that I absolutely recommend for families with children. I appreciate the instructor (I forgot to ask his name) for his clear explanations and kind, attentive support towards my daughter. Also, thank you for taking so many beautiful photos. I hope to participate in diving next time. Additionally, operating the GoPro is very easy. If I had to suggest something, I recommend bringing a micro SD card (4GB or more). (You can also purchase one at the shop...)

今回家族で参加しました。
最初５歳の娘（初体験）にはどうかな？と思っていましたがウエットスーツ等いろいろ装備品を準備していくにつれて、上機嫌！
と思いきや、ポイントまでボードが動き出したら、だんだん機嫌が・・・
ボードがポイントに着き、さあ出発！「こわい、行きたくない」とぐずりだし困りました。
インストラクターのお兄さんと一緒に説得しなんとか出発できました。
海に入っても半泣きのまま・・・
インストラクターのお兄さんが娘にマンツーマンで付いてくれて少しづつ慣れてきて、自分で海中を見た世界に感動したのかあっという間に上機嫌に戻りました。
それからはもう自分で何回も潜り初めてのシュノーケルを堪能してました。
おかげでボードに上がる時間になると「まだしたい、上がりたくない」とわがままを言い出す始末で・・・
洞窟内はとても神秘的でとても綺麗な景色に感動でした。
１ファミリーに１人インストラクターが専属でついてくれますので、お父さんお母さんが子どもの面倒を見て全く楽しめないということもありません。
とても安心で子ども連れのファミリーに絶対おすすめプランです。
インストラクターのお兄さん（名前伺うの忘れてしまいました）の娘に対するわかりやすい説明親切、丁寧な対応に感謝しております。また、きれいな写真もたくさん撮っていただきりありがとうございました。
次の機会ではダイビングで参加できればと思います。
あとＧoＰroの操作はとても簡単です。あえて言うならマイクロＳＤカード（４ＧＢ以上）を用意していくことをお勧めします。（ショップで購入もできますが・・・）

I participated with my three daughters, who are all 4 years old. Since a guide was assigned to our family, we were able to enjoy snorkeling together with peace of mind. Additionally, the facilities such as changing rooms and showers are well-equipped, so I think it would be nice to stop by while on the way with a rental car.

一番下は4歳の3人娘と参加しました
家族に1人案内の方が付いてくださるので、安心して全員でシュノーケリングできました
また、更衣室やシャワー室などの設備も充実していますので、レンタカーで移動途中とかに寄るのもいいかと思います

I thought that the staff would be there to guide us the whole time, but when I arrived, there was only one staff member at the store. I was told to watch a DVD first to learn how to make it, which made me a bit anxious about whether I could do it properly. However, I managed to create it by following along! I had a lot of fun chatting with my friends while we worked on it together.

スタッフの方がずっと付きっきりで教えてくださるのだと思い行ったのですが、お店には最初スタッフの方が1人しかいらっしゃらず、作り方もDVDを見てからやって下さいと言われ、ちゃんとできるか不安でしたが、見よう見真似でなんとか作ることができました‼︎
友達とあーだこーだ言いながら結構楽しめました。

Tour was well organized.pick up at our hotel 5 minutes late, we were among the first person to get on the bus and could not choose our seat... We wanted to be seated at the front to prevent our baby girl to be sick during the trip.
Tour guide: she could not speak english but we managed to understand each other somehow

The water buffalo carts in Yubu Island and Taketomi Island were both interesting, and time flew by. Since it was a hot day, choosing the bus tour instead of renting a bicycle was the right decision.

由布島での水牛車、竹富島での水牛車はそれぞれにおもしろく、時間がたつのが早く感じました。暑い日だったので、レンタサイクルにしないでバスツアーにして正解でした。

First, we had a tutorial on how to make it via video. It seemed difficult at first, but as we progressed, everyone managed to create something that reflected their individual characteristics. My 6-year-old grandchild was able to complete it all by themselves. I think the coloring turned out so well that you could easily tell whose work it was just by looking at the finished pieces.

Everyone took theirs home and quickly displayed them. Next time, I want to challenge myself with glass.

初めにビデオにて作り方の講習をしました。見てると難しく感じましたが、作っていくうちにみんなそれなりに形が出来、個人の特徴が出ました。6歳の孫も最後まで一人で作成しました。色付けに関しても仕上がりを見れば誰の作品かわかるくらい上手に出来たと思います。
それぞれ家に持って帰りさっそく飾りました。次回はガラスに挑戦したいです。

I was very satisfied. In the morning, I took a comfortable high-speed ferry from Ishigaki Island to Taketomi Island. I enjoyed sightseeing while being swayed by the water buffalo "Ryu-kun." The streets lined with blooming hibiscus were amazing. I searched for star sand at Hama no Ebi Beach using a rental bicycle. I will never forget lunch at "Kanifu" and the zenzai (shaved ice). I want to go again.

大変満足しました。朝、石垣島から高速フェリーで快適に竹富島へ。水牛「琉くん」にゆられ島内観光。ハイビスカスが咲き乱れる街並みは最高です。レンタサイクルで皆治浜で星砂探し。お昼は「かにふ」でランチとぜんざい（かき氷）は忘れられません。また行きたいと思います。

It was a very satisfying day.

From the bus window, I could see the ocean of the West Coast clearly, allowing for a relaxing view of the scenery. The interior of the bus was very cool and comfortable. Each person received an automatic audio guide, and we could listen to the sightseeing information through earphones. The Wi-Fi was a bit slow, so it would have been nice if we could browse the internet more smoothly.

The guide was very pleasant, smiling for photos and kindly responding to foreign guests. When I asked about how to get to the sightseeing spots the following day, they kindly provided information, which was very helpful.

First, we arrived at Cape Hedo. It was a sunny day, and we could see Yoronjima beautifully. When taking photos in front of the sign at Cape Hedo, I recommend capturing the object of the Yanbaru Kuina in the distance (the driver pointed this out).

At Oishi Forest, we enjoyed trekking while viewing uniquely shaped rocks. We took the Churaumi Observatory course and were able to return comfortably in about an hour. Since the sun was strong, hats and sunglasses are essential.

The buffet lunch at JAL Okuma Hotel felt a bit limited in variety, but everything, including Okinawa's local specialties, was delicious. The view from the hotel's private beach was very lovely.

The Churaumi Aquarium is located within the vast Ocean Expo Park, and the scenery overlooking the sea was wonderful. Above all, I was overwhelmed by the impressive sight of the whale sharks swimming in the giant tank. The stay time is two hours, so if you want to see the exhibits thoroughly, you might find it insufficient. We were mainly there to see the whale sharks, so it was enough for us. Additionally, since we moved quickly, we were able to catch the dolphin show as well.

It takes over two hours by car from Naha City to Cape Hedo, so it was very comfortable to tour the sightseeing spots while dozing off on the bus. Everyone else was participating with their families, and I think it's a program that people of all ages can enjoy throughout the day without any difficulty.

大満足の一日でした。

バスの窓からは、西海岸の海がよく見え、景色を見ながらのんびりできます。車内は大変涼しくて快適でした。自動音声ガイドは、1人1台配られ、イヤホンで観光案内を聞くことができます。
WI-FIは重めなので、もう少しサクサクとインターネットを見られると嬉しいです。

ガイドさんは、写真撮影に笑顔で応じてくださったり、外国からのお客さんにも丁寧に対応していたりと、好感がもてる方でした。翌日以降の観光地の行き方を質問した際も、親切に教えてくださり、とても助かりました。

まずは、辺戸岬へ到着。当日は晴天で、与論島が綺麗に見えました。辺戸岬の看板前で撮影する際には、遠くに見えるヤンバルクイナのオブジェを写真におさめるのがオススメです(運転手さんが教えてくださいました)。

大石林山では、珍しい形の岩を見ながら、トレッキングを楽しめます。私たちは、美ら海展望台コースで登りましたが、1時間ほどで余裕を持って戻ってくることができました。
日差しが強かったため、帽子やサングラスは必須です。

昼食のJALオクマホテルでのバイキングは、少し品数が少ない気もしましたが、沖縄の名産品をはじめ、どれも味は美味しかったです。
ホテルのプライベートビーチからの景色がとても素敵でした。

美ら海水族館は、広大な海洋博公園の中にあり、海を望む風景が素晴らしかったです。なにより、巨大水槽を泳ぐジンベイザメの迫力に、圧倒されました。
滞在時間は2時間なので、展示をしっかり見たい方は、時間が足りないかもしれません。私たちは、ジンベイザメ目当てだったので、十分でした。また、急ぎめに回ったので、イルカのショーも観ることができました。

那覇市内から辺戸岬までは車で2時間以上かかる長距離ですし、バスでうとうとしながら、観光地を巡ることができ、とても快適でした。
私たち以外はご家族で参加されていましたし、老若男女で無理なく一日中楽しめるプログラムだと思います。

It's unfortunate that we couldn't see the sunset, but there was someone who got proposed to on the boat, and they said yes. We were able to share a very nice time together and had a happy experience. Thank you very much.

残念なのは、夕陽が見れなかった事だが、船上でプロポーズをされた方がいらっしゃりました、そこでOＫを貰ったと・・
とてもいい時間を共有する事が出来たこと
幸せな時間を過ごせた事
有難うございました

The meal included very good meat, which was great! The staff's service was also excellent. However, I thought there might be wind since it was outdoors, but surprisingly, it was completely still. Even while grilling the meat, it was too hot, and honestly, it was hard to enjoy the meal. There was no air conditioning or fans, so I was sweating even at night. It might have been better if it were a cooler season.

食事内容はいいお肉が出てとてもよかったです！
スタッフの方の対応も○でした。
ただ、屋外のため風があるかな？と思いきや意外にも無風状態。お肉を焼いていても暑すぎて正直、
食事どころではなかったです。
クーラーや扇風機もないため、夜でも汗だくでした。もう少し涼しい季節だったらよかったかもしれません。

To board the large passenger ship Orca, which has an underwater viewing room, you first head to the waiting area at Naha Port, located about a 15-minute walk from Asahibashi Station on the monorail (Yui Rail). When we visited, the left side was under renovation. Upon entering, there is a display next to the ticket counter showing "Today's Water Quality, Today's Swell" in stages. This display has five levels, and we were at the second lowest level (a state with some swaying and slightly murky water).

After waiting for a while, we boarded the ship, which headed to a point suitable for underwater viewing. During the journey, we enjoyed the blue sky, sparkling sea, and refreshing sea breeze from the upper deck. Upon arrival at the point, we descended to the underwater viewing room, where we could observe the seabed through glass. The room has benches in the middle, with guests seated on both sides.

What should have been a beautiful view of coral and tropical fish in a deep blue fantasy world was unfortunately not the case for us. It seemed we had bad timing, as the sign indicated that the sand on the seabed was stirred up, resulting in a slightly murky view. Coral and tropical fish were barely visible. It is said that after a large typhoon passes, the seabed changes to this state.

If the seabed were calm, the underwater viewing room on the Orca would be enveloped in a fantastical world. There are also plans that include lunch, so if the timing of the ocean currents is right, this optional tour could be a meaningful Naha experience that combines cruising and underwater exploration.

海底を除く地下室のある大型客船オルカ号に乗車するには、まずモノレール（ゆいレール）の旭橋駅から徒歩15分ほどの場所にある那覇埠頭の待合所へ向かいます。私たちが訪れた際は左側が改修工事中でした。中に入りますと窓口の横に「今日の水質、今日の揺れ」が段階的に示された案内が設置されています。この案内は５つのレベルがありまして、私たちは下から二番目（ある程度揺れがある状態、海が濁っていて少し見にくい状態）の状態でした。

しばらく待機した後は船に乗り込みます。船は海底鑑賞に適したポイントへと向かいます。その間、私たちは上の階から青い空ときらきら光る海、そして爽やかな潮風を堪能します。ポイントへ到着すると地下室へと降り、ここでガラスを通じて海底を鑑賞します。部屋は長椅子が真ん中にあり、両側に客が座るような構造となっています。

この窓から見るも美しい、サンゴと熱帯魚が舞う紺碧の幻想世界が広がっているーーはずだったのですが、残念ながら私たちはタイミングが悪かったようです。看板の案内にあった通り、海底の砂が巻き上がっているようで、少し濁った状態でした。サンゴや熱帯魚はほんのりと見える程度のものです。大型台風が過ぎた後は、海底がこのような状態へと変わるのだと言います。

穏やかな海底であれば、このオルカ号の地下室はファンタジー溢れる世界に包まれる事でしょう。昼食付きのプランもありますので、海流のタイミングが良ければ、こちらのオプションツアーはクルーズと海底探査を兼ねた意義のある那覇体験になると思います。

I participated in this tour in July. The waves were calm, and we were able to safely enter the Blue Cave. Since it was a three-day weekend, the cave was very crowded, but I had a great time seeing many different types of tropical fish. I definitely want to join again when I come back to Okinawa.

7月にこのツアーに参加しました。
波は穏やかで無事に青の洞窟に入ることができました。
3連休ということもあり、洞窟内はとても混雑していましたが、
たくさんの種類の熱帯魚を見ることが出来てとても楽しかったです。
また沖縄に来た時は是非参加したいと思いました。

I had a faint memory of traveling to Okinawa when I was little, but I was surprised to find that the impression of the city was completely different when I visited again as an adult. I expected a simple tropical world, but Naha turned out to be a well-developed international tourist city in a good way, with a diverse presence of people from China, South Korea, and the United States.

From Asahibashi Station on the monorail (Yui Rail), which runs through the center of Naha, a Jumbo Tours bus departs right in front of the Hilton Hotel. There are several pickup points, but the Hilton Hotel has a spacious waiting lobby, making it convenient to wait during the hot season.

The tour we joined happened to have good timing, as there was only one other customer, a woman from South Korea. It turned into a wonderfully comfortable bus trip with just three passengers on a large bus. However, even if there were many customers as usual, the wide seats would allow for a relaxed travel experience.

What I found very good about this tour was that the "travel time" was in a pleasant environment. The guide's explanations were limited to what was necessary, and the automatic audio guide (available in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English) played only important points. In other words, the actions from the operators towards us were kept to a minimum. This allowed us to truly enjoy the 1-2 hours of travel time in a relaxed manner. For those who want to enjoy a "thoroughly guided tour with a personal touch," it might feel a bit lacking, but for us, this aspect felt perfect.

The tour bus maintained that comfortable atmosphere and first stopped at the Igei Service Area for a break. This is a simple service area with a spacious view of the sea. From there, we headed north to Cape Hedo, located at the northernmost tip of Okinawa Island. It features a karst landscape, characterized by limestone rocks eroded by rain, and from the cliffs, the endless deep blue ocean stretches out.

After a five-minute drive, we arrived at Mount Oishi, which also features a karst landscape and is a lush tropical forest mountain. There is a gentle hiking course that can be completed in about 30 minutes.

The hiking course at Mount Oishi is said to be filled with "phytoncides," substances that have detoxifying effects derived from trees. Regardless of the scientific validity of this claim, it is undeniably true that it creates a liberating feeling that heals the mind and body. This hike was truly filled with beautiful natural scenery, and I felt like I could freely release my soul.

After the hike, we headed south to JAL Private Resort Okuma. We enjoyed a buffet-style lunch in a spacious restaurant with high ceilings located within the resort hotel. There were various dishes, from Okinawa soba to mimiga, making for a delightful and fulfilling meal.

After lunch, we headed to the Churaumi Aquarium located in central Okinawa. Upon entering the grand architectural style, we were greeted by dazzling tropical fish, sea turtles, rare deep-sea creatures, and the enormous whale shark. This aquarium is undoubtedly a famous spot with one of the largest tanks in the world. During our visit, it was just after the release of Disney's animated film "Finding Dory," so the sea turtles, clownfish, and surgeonfish featured in the movie were very popular among the children.

After the extraordinary experience at the aquarium, our final stop was the Okashi Goten, famous for its purple sweet potato tarts. It offers a wide range of classic and new Okinawan sweets, making it an ideal place to purchase souvenirs. While the prices are not particularly cheaper than other souvenir shops, buying here comes with perks like shopping bags and straps for the purple sweet potato tarts, making it a good deal. After leaving Okashi Goten, we returned to the original pickup location and disbanded.

In summary, this tour allowed us to comfortably spend travel time while hitting key points in a bus journey from ce

小さい頃に沖縄へ旅行へ来た記憶がうっすらありましたが、改めて大人になってから来てみると全く街の印象が違う事に驚きました。素朴な南国世界が広がっているかと思いきや、那覇は良い意味で整備された観光国際都市であり、中国、韓国、アメリカといった多彩な人たちが存在感を発揮していました。

そんな那覇の中心部を走るモノレール（ゆいレール）の旭橋駅から徒歩1分、ヒルトンホテルの前からジャンボツアーズのバスが出発します。ピックアップ地点は幾つか存在しますが、ヒルトンホテルは待合ロビーが広々としているので、暑い季節に待機する際に便利だと思います。

私たちが乗り込んだツアーはたまたまタイミングが良かったのか、他のお客さんは韓国女性の方が一人だけ。大型バスに贅沢にも三人の客だけが乗るという素晴らしく快適なバスの旅となりました。しかしもちろん、通常通りお客さんがたくさんいたとしても、座席の幅が広いので悠々と移動時間を過ごせるかと思います。

私が今回のツアーでとても良いと思ったのは、この「移動時間」が程よい環境だったという点です。ガイドさんの説明は必要なものだけ、自動音声ガイド（日本語・中国語・韓国語・英語対応）も重要なポイントを押さえての再生。つまり、運営側から私たちへのアクションが必要最低限なのです。これによって、私たちは1〜2時間かかる移動時間を本当にゆったり過ごせたという印象があります。「みっちりバスガイド付きの人情旅」を楽しみたいという方ですと少し物足りないかもしれませんが、私たちにとってはこのポイントが最高に感じました。

ツアーバスはその快適空間を維持したまま、まず伊芸サービスエリアで休憩。ここは素朴なサービスエリアで、海を見渡せる悠々とした場所になっています。そこから北上して向かうは、沖縄本島最北端に位置している辺戸岬。カルデア地形（石灰質の岩が雨などで浸食されて生じる奇峰奇岩の地形）が特徴的で、崖からは果てしない紺碧の大海原が広がります。続けて5分ほど移動して向かったのが大石林山。こちらもカルデア地形が特徴的な、鬱蒼とした南国の森の山です。30分程度で巡れる緩やかなハイキングコースが整備されています。

大石林山のハイキングコースは、巷で言われている「フィトンジット（樹木から生じる解毒効果のある物質）」なるものが充満しているそうです。その科学的な実証性の程度はさておき、とにかく心や体が癒されるような開放的な気分になる事は紛れもない事実です。このハイキングは本当に素晴らしい自然美に満ちていて、のびのびと魂を解放する事が出来たような気がします。

ハイキングを終えた後は、しばし南下をしてJALプライベートリゾートオクマへ向かいます。このリゾートホテルの敷地内にある天井の高い、実に広々としたレストランでブッフェスタイルの昼食を食べます。沖縄そばからミミガーまで様々な料理があり、こちらも楽しい充実した食事となりました。

そして、昼食を終えた後に向かうのが沖縄中部にある美ら海水族館です。豪壮な建築様式の中へ入ると、きらびやかな熱帯魚、ウミガメ、珍しい深海生物、巨大なジンベイザメなどが私たちを迎えてくれます。いうまでもなく、この水族館は世界最大級の大水槽を有する名所。圧倒的な魚たちの世界に自然の壮大さを感じました。私たちが入った時期はちょうどディズニー社のアニメ映画『ファインディング・ドリー』が公開されたところでしたので、作中に登場するウミガメやカクレクマノミ、ナンヨウハギなどが子供たちに大人気でした。

水族館の非日常体験が終わると、最後に立ち寄るのが紅芋タルトで有名な御菓子御殿です。沖縄らしい定番または新作のお菓子商品がずらっと網羅されており、お土産を購入するのに最適です。特別に別のお土産店より値段が安いというわけではありませんが、ここで購入するとショッピングバックや紅芋タルトのストラップなどが特典として貰えるのでお得だと思います。御菓子御殿を出た後は、もとのピックアップ場所へと戻って解散です。

以上のように、個人旅行では疲れやすい移動時間を快適に過ごしつつ、ポイントを押さえた沖縄の中部〜北部のバス旅が出来たという事で、大満足のツアーでした。沖縄に初めて来た、あるいは久しぶりに来たという方には最適なツアーだと、私は思います。

I participated in a tour of American Village. The weather that day was great, and the view from the bridge on the way to Kouri Island was truly wonderful.

The Churaumi Aquarium was beautiful, even more so than aquariums in Honshu, and perhaps it's because the sea is different, but it became an unforgettable place for us. One regret was not purchasing mangoes on Kouri Island.

At the Pineapple Center, there were no mangoes available, so I missed the chance to buy them. However, I enjoyed plenty of pineapple samples. At American Village, I had a satisfying burger from A&W, a hamburger shop that isn't in Nagoya, and it was quite filling.

As the sun set, the night view from the Ferris wheel was incredibly beautiful, and I truly felt that joining this tour was a great decision.

Although it was a long tour of about 12 hours, I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa in one day. The driver drove safely, which made me feel at ease, and the tour guide shared fun stories, so I didn't feel bored during the ride. On the way back, we got off near Kokusai Street, and the tour guide kindly showed us the locations of the shops we wanted to visit, for which I am especially grateful.

I am thankful for the enjoyable day spent creating wonderful memories in Okinawa.

アメリカンビレッジのツアーに参加しました。
その日は天候に、恵まれ古宇利島に行く途中の
橋からの景色は、とても素晴らしいものでした

美ら海水族館は私たち2人は名古屋から、来たのですが本州の水族館よりも美しく、やはり海が違いなのかもしらませんが、忘れられない場所ななりました。
ひとつ残念だったのは、古宇利島で、マンゴーを
購入しなかった事です

パイナップルセンターにはマンゴーが、置いてなかったので、買いそびれました
その分試食のパイナップルはたくさんいぢきました
アメリカンビレッジでは名古屋にはないA&Wと言うハンバーガーショップで、ボリュウムのある
ハンバーガーを頂いて大変満足しました
夕暮れなり観覧車の夜景がすごく綺麗でこのツアーにして本当に良かったおとおもいました。

約12時間と長いツアーだすが、１日たっぶり沖縄を堪能できました、また運転手さんが安全運転で乗っていて安心できましたし、添乗員さんも、トロロ、トロロで楽しいお話をして頂いて、車中退屈せずにすごせました
帰りも国際通りの近くで、降りたのですが行きたい店の場所まで教えて頂いて添乗員さんには特に感謝してます
楽しい沖縄の思い出の１日を楽しく過ごせて感謝
してます。

Initially, I only planned to do the painting, but I experienced making a shisa. Personally, if you have limited time, I recommend making a shisa. There is about 15 minutes of baking time, but while looking at the sample shisa in the store and the many glass crafts for candle making, time flew by quickly.

最初は色塗りだけを予定していましたがシーサーづくりから体験しました、個人的には時間がなくてどちらかならシーサーづくりの方がお薦めです。15分ほど焼の時間が入りますが店内の見本のシーサーを見たりキャンドルづくりのガラス細工が沢山あってみているとあっという間に時間が過ぎました。

The whole family had our first snorkeling experience! The instructions were thorough, and we felt comfortable participating.

Since it was our first time, we didn't have the chance to film ourselves, so we had someone take photos and videos for us.

It was the day the rainy season ended, and the weather was great. We were able to see a beautiful ocean that exceeded our expectations. I thought the kids might be scared, but they were actively enjoying it instead. We got a lot of wonderful photos, making for great memories!

We want to go again! (*^^*)

家族全員、シュノーケル初体験！
丁寧に説明して頂き、安心して参加する事が出来ました。

初体験なので動画を撮る余裕がなかったので、デジカメ撮影と動画と同時に撮ってもらいました。

ちょうど梅雨明けの日で天気もよく、想像以上に綺麗な海を見る事ができました。
子ども達は怖がるかも…と思いきや、積極的に楽しんでいました。
素敵な写真もたくさん撮って頂き、いい記念になりました！

またいきたいです(*^^*)

This time, I participated with my husband and our 2-year-old daughter. Since our daughter is still 2 years old, I thought a tour where we could see fish from the boat would be just right. While waiting in the lounge, the level of the boat's sway and the visibility underwater were displayed, which was helpful. I believe the sway was at level 3, but in reality, the boat's movement was hardly noticeable.

Now, I was surprised that the Orca was quite an ordinary boat. I had imagined something like a submarine... like a Yellow Submarine. I wondered if this was going to dive underwater? No, right?

As we set sail, we enjoyed the view of Naha while feeling the wind on the boat. After a while, a staff member guided us to a room that led to the boat's lower deck. I understood what it was about.

It was a glass-walled room that opened up to the underwater world. The beauty of it instantly lifted my spirits. "Wow! So this is what the bottom of the sea looks like?" It was amazing. Schools of fish, coral, and jellyfish were floating around. They also provided explanations.

Our daughter was captivated by the underwater world and wasn't scared at all. Both my husband and I are not good at sports, and we thought diving would be scary and tiring, so we felt it was something we would never do. However, riding the Orca allowed us to discover the underwater world for the first time. It was truly mystical! The day before, we had visited the Churaumi Aquarium, but what we saw there was completely different. I had thought, "We're already seeing fish at the aquarium," but it was entirely another experience. Everything was a first for us.

The tour ended after about an hour. I didn't feel seasick at all. Since we booked the earliest time slot, we headed straight to the beach afterward to swim. It was great to make effective use of our time.

Oh, and before disembarking, we received a magnet from the Orca as a souvenir, enough for everyone. That made me happy too. If I have another opportunity to travel to Okinawa, I would like to invite my grandparents to join us. Thank you very much.

今回、私、夫、2歳の娘と参加しました。
娘がまだ2歳なので、船から魚の見れるツアーはちょうどいいかなと思って決めました。
待合で待っていると、本日の船の揺れや、海の中見える度が、レベルで表示されていて、参考になりました。確か、揺れますのレベル3でしたが、実際船の揺れは気にならない程度でした。
さて、案内されたオルカ号は案外普通の船でびっくりしました。私はいかにも潜水艦をイメージしていました。・・イエローサブマリンみたいな。これが海の中潜るの？違うよね、と。
出航して船上から風をきり、那覇の景色を楽しみました。しばらくして係の方が船の地下に続く部屋を案内してくれました。
そういうことか、とわかりました。
そこはガラス張りの部屋で海底の世界が広がっていました。あまりの綺麗さに一気にテンション上がりました。
えー！今いた海の底ってこんな風になってたの？すごいね。といった具合に。
魚の群れ、さんご、クラゲもフワフワしてました。解説もしてくれました。
娘も怖がらず、海底の世界に釘付けでした。
私も夫も、スポーツ苦手で、怖いし疲れそうだしダイビングなど一生縁がない感じでしたが、オルカ号に乗って初めて海底の世界を知ることができました。
本当神秘的！前日にちゅらうみ水族館行ったのですが、そこで見た世界とは全然違いました。
水族館で魚見てるしなぁ、と少し思ってたのですが、まったく別物です。全て初めて見た景色でした。
一時間程でツアーは終了。船酔いもまったくしませんでした。
朝一の時間帯で申し込んだので、その後すぐビーチに向かい泳ぎました。時間が有効に使えて良かったです。
あ、それと、下船の前にオルカ号のマグネットをお土産にいただきました。ちゃんと人数分。これも嬉しかったです。
次回沖縄旅行の機会があれば、おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんも誘って一緒に行きたいです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to visit all the places I really wanted to go, like Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, Okinawa Fruits Land, and American Village in Chatan!

At Churaumi Aquarium and Chatan, I had plenty of free time to fully enjoy myself!

At Okinawa Fruits Land, there were so many people that I couldn't hear the guide's explanations about the fruits from the back, which was disappointing. I also wanted to try the large parfait, but I had to give up sadly due to time constraints. I definitely plan to make a comeback next time!

At Churaumi Aquarium, there were not only the main aquarium but also a planetarium and dolphin shows, so there were really a lot of facilities to enjoy, and it was so much fun!

American Village in Chatan is very spacious, and the buildings have unique shapes, making it feel like an overseas trip! I was able to ride the Ferris wheel just as the sun was setting, and I'm really glad I went. If you visit American Village in Chatan, I recommend trying the Kijimuna's Omutaco rice!

At Kouri Island, I recommend the dessert with shaved ice topped with Blue Seal soft serve! It was super delicious!

I would love to participate again!

美ら海水族館や古宇利島、OKINAWAフルーツランドや北谷のアメリカンビレッジ…本当に行きたい所全部行けた！って感じでした♪

美ら海水族館や北谷は自由時間が長く充分満喫出来ました♪

OKINAWAフルーツランドでは人が多くてガイドさんが果物の説明をしていても後ろの方まで聞こえなかったのが残念でした(´・ω・｀)
大きなパフェも食べたかったのですが、時間もなく泣く泣く断念(T_T)
次回絶対リベンジしようと思います♪

美ら海水族館ではメインの水族館はもちろん、プラネタリウムやイルカショーと本当に色々な施設があり、とても楽しかったです♡

北谷のアメリカンビレッジはとても広くて、建物が独特な形で気分は海外旅行♪
ちょうど日が沈むタイミングで観覧車に乗れました、本当に行って良かった( ´∀｀)
北谷のアメリカンビレッジに行ったら、きじむなぁのオムタコライスおすすめ♡

古宇利島はかき氷のぜんざいにブルーシールソフトクリームの乗ったデザートがおすすめ！
めっちゃ美味しかった♡

またもう一度参加したいです♪

I made a reservation for my father's group trip. They wanted to stay in Ishigaki Island and visit nearby islands for a day, so we chose this plan. Although they couldn't spend much time on each island since they visited three islands—Iriomote Island, Yubu Island, and Taketomi Island—in one day, they said it was highly recommended for first-timers because it allowed them to see all the highlights in one go. In particular, they enjoyed the cruise around the mangroves and the water buffalo cart ride, which gave them a taste of Okinawa. The guide who accompanied them was also kind, and they had a great time.

父の同期旅行にあわせて予約しました。石垣島に滞在しつつ、日帰りで近くの離島を回りたいとのことで、このプランに決めました。西表島・由布島・竹富島と１日で３島を一気に回る為、それぞれの島でゆっくりする事は出来なかったそうですが、初めての人にとっては、見所をまとめて見学できることから、とてもおすすめだったと言っていました。中でも、マングローブ周辺のクルーズや水牛車での島渡りは、沖縄らしさが味わえたようです。ご案内をしていただいたガイドさんも親切で、楽しかったそうです。

I made a reservation for my father's group trip. The glass boat tour in Kabira Bay had little rocking, allowing us to see the underwater world clearly. Although it wasn't as vibrant as the colorful corals and tropical fish mentioned in the plan, the scenery typical of Okinawa's sea was beautiful, and they enjoyed watching the large fish swimming around.

It's easy for those who are prone to seasickness to participate, and the fact that you don't have to specify a reservation time is a great point for those who want to travel freely.

父の同期旅行にあわせて予約をしました。川平湾内でのグラスボートは、揺れも少なく、しっかりと海の中を見学することが出来たそうです。プラン名にある、色とりどりの珊瑚や熱帯魚ほどでは無かったそうですが、沖縄の海らしい景色が広がり、大きな魚が泳ぐ姿を楽しんだと言っていました。
船に酔いやすい人でも参加しやすく、何よりも予約時間の指定をしなくても済む点が、自由に旅行をしたい人におすすめのポイントであると思いました。

I was able to thoroughly enjoy the Yaeyama Islands with a well-organized itinerary!!!! I'm glad I signed up for the tour!!!! The lunch bento I had also featured Okinawan cuisine, and I was very satisfied!!

予定もしっかり組んでもらい八重山諸島も堪能できました!!!!ツアー申し込んで良かったです!!!!昼食に食べたお弁当も沖縄料理が使われていて満足でした!!

A trip to Okinawa with my daughter!
We participated in a plan that gathered at 10 AM on June 27 (Monday).
A staff member from our group guided us from the boat to swim into the cave. There was an unusual traffic jam at that time, but we thought that if we didn't endure this, we wouldn't get to see the breathtaking views, so we floated and waited for 30 minutes.
It was worth the wait because the blue was so vibrant!!! It felt like it was glowing! I was amazed by the beauty and the natural phenomenon. The staff also took great photos for us.
After leaving the cave and before returning to the boat, they took pictures of us feeding the fish and floating in the sea.
We received a CD full of memories that we couldn't capture ourselves, and I think this price is quite a bargain.
Thank you for a fun and wonderful time.

娘と二人旅の沖縄旅！
６月27日（月）の10時集合のプランに参加しました。
1グループに１人のスタッフが、船から降りて泳いで洞窟に案内してくれました。この日この時間は、いつにない渋滞ができてました。でも、これを我慢しまいと、絶景には会えない訳だから、30分ぷかぷか浮かんで並びました。
でも並んだ甲斐あって、青い青い青い！！！青く光ってる感じ！きれいなのと自然現象に、びっくりでした。貴重な写真もスタッフがバッチリ撮ってくれます。
洞窟を出て、船に戻るまでの間は、お魚にエサをあげて戯れてる写真や海の忮から浮かんでる私たちを撮ってくれる。
自分たちでは、撮れない思い出がいっぱいのCDもついてて、この価格は、かなりお得だと思います。
楽しい、素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

Listening to the sanshin while swaying on a water buffalo in Taketomi Island was amazing! The mangroves in Iriomote Island were also less crowded at that time, so I was able to enjoy them at a leisurely pace. I highly recommend it.

竹富島で水牛に揺られながら聞くサンシンは最高でした！！西表島のマングローブも時間帯的に空いていたのでゆっくり見れました。オススメです。

I participated on the day I moved to another hotel in Ishigaki Island. Since I was with a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, I joined the latest session at 10:45 in the morning. I was happy that I could leave my suitcase after checking out. It took about 10 minutes to get to Taketomi Island, and after a 15-minute bathroom break, we enjoyed a glass-bottom boat ride for about 30 minutes. The kids were thrilled to see Nemo without any worries about seasickness. After a 5-minute bus ride, we relaxed and enjoyed a 30-minute water buffalo cart ride, taking in the island's nature and buildings.

石垣島で別のホテルへ移る日に参加。5歳児と2歳児を連れていたため、午前中の1番遅い10:45から参加。チェックアウト後だったのでスーツケースを預けられたのが嬉しかったです。約10分で竹富島へ行き、15分のトイレ休憩の後、グラスボート約30分。心配した船酔いもなく、ニモに会えた子供は大喜び。バスで5分ほど移動後に、ゆったりまったり水牛車で30分島内の自然や建物を満喫できました。

The weather was a bit bad, so we couldn't do a beach entry. I'm glad we had made a reservation for a boat entry. It was reassuring to have one guide for each group. They took photos at various points, which became great memories. The color of the sea was beautiful as well.

少し天候が悪くビーチエントリーは出来ない日でした。
ボートエントリーで予約しておいて良かったです。
一組にガイドが1人付いてくれるので安心でした。
いろいろなポイントで写真も撮ってくれて記念になりました。
海の色も綺麗で良かったです。

I have visited the Churaumi Aquarium several times on tours, but I'm glad I made it to Kunigami Village. The emotion I felt when I saw Yoron Island from Cape Hedo was incredible, and especially, the Great Stone Forest was magnificent. If I had a bit more time, I would have loved to walk the Giant Rocks and Stone Forest course. While circling the Rock of Rebirth three times, I wished to be born as a human again. The "Picasso" rock was particularly interesting, as it looked like the "Devil Rock" from certain angles! There were various fascinating rocks like the Elephant Parent and Child Rock and the Cat Rock, and the view of the ocean from the Churaumi Observatory was the best. I thought that if we had a little more time to explore the Great Stone Forest, we could have enjoyed the sightseeing even more. As a flower lover, I was thrilled to take photos of the papaya flowers, which I can't see on the main island of Kyushu.

At the Okichan Theater in the Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu Town, I was healed by the adorable dolphin show, laughing many times and returning to my childhood. Being here, both young and old felt like there wasn't enough time, and before I knew it, it was time to gather, leaving me with a sense of regret as I boarded the bus. The purple sweet potato tart at the snack shop was the best, and the fresh tart that can only be eaten here left a lasting memory of its delicious taste.

This time, we older travelers had a great time, so I think it would be wonderful if this tour plan could be promoted to more people. It would be good to have more visibility online to catch the attention of older travelers.

何度か美ら海水族館までツアーで来てましたが国頭村まで来て良かったです。辺戸岬から与論島を見た時の感動、特に大石林山は素晴らしくもう少し時間があれば１コ－スの巨岩-石林感動コ－スも歩きたかったですね。生まれ変わりの岩など３回回りながら次も人間に生まれたいと願いつつ楽しみ『ピカソ』岩は特に面白く見る方向で『悪魔岩』に！象の親子岩、猫岩等色々な面白い岩や美ら海展望台から見る海原は最高で大石林山周遊時間をもう少し増やしたら観光ももっと楽しめたかなと思い、九州本土では見れ無いパパイヤの花等花好きの私はルンルンで写真撮影。本部町の美ら海水族館のオキちゃん劇場では可愛いイルカショーに心癒され何度も大笑いし童心に帰りました。此処に居ると老いも若きも時間が足りないと駆け足でみて回りあっと言う間に集合時間となり後ろ髪引かれる思いでバスに乗り込むことに。立ち寄りのお菓子御殿での紫芋タルト此処でしか食べられない生タルトは最高に美味しく思い出に残る味でした。
今回私達年配者も充分楽しめましたので今回のツアープランを沢山の方々にももっとアピールされたら良いのではと思います。もっと年配者の目に止まるようにネットでもされたら良いでしょう。

Since I was traveling alone and couldn't drive, I participated in this tour. The weather was also favorable, making it a wonderful day.

一人旅で車も運転できないので、こちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました。
天気にも恵まれ、素敵な1日になりました。

First of all, I'm a foreigner, so my Japanese isn't very good, and I hope everyone understands. I've wanted to go to Okinawa for a long time, and my wish finally came true! However, as a foreigner, I can't drive and don't understand the transportation system... So I thought about doing a one-day tour and decided on a plan from Veltra after searching online.

Now, let's get to the main topic, lol. First, we were welcomed at various meeting points in Naha. We boarded near Tomarin, right on schedule! First, we headed to Kouri Island! The road was a bit long, but with the automatic guide machine that had seven languages, it was no problem. Plus, the guide was kind and explained everything. Kouri Island is as beautiful as the pictures! The view of the blue sea connecting the islands is a highlight. Kouri Beach wasn't too crowded, and I got some great photos! Next, we headed to the legendary Churaumi Aquarium, lol. The bus stopped at the station, and we followed the guide to arrive. As expected from the world-famous Churaumi, there were fish and creatures I've never seen before! The Kuroshio tank is truly breathtaking! After lunch, there was a dolphin show, and it was a great performance. I also saw sea turtles and manatees; the three hours flew by! Next, we went to Pineapple Park, where there were various tastings, so I was full, lol. Finally, we arrived at Mihama American Village. Because summer in Okinawa has long days, it wasn't night when we arrived, which was a bit disappointing.

We arrived at the hotel at nine o'clock. My body was very tired, but my heart was full! Thank you for such a wonderful day!

まず、自分は外国人だから、日本語があんまり上手ではない、皆さんがわかると嬉しい。
ずっと前から沖縄に行ってほしい、ようやく願いが叶った！でも外国人として車も運転できないし、交通もわからない。。じゃ一日ツアーにしようっと考えた～ネットで探すとveltraのプランを決定した。
そろそろ本題にしようｗｗｗ最初は那覇の各集合場所で迎えた。私たちはとまりんの近くの所で乗車した、予定時間がぴったりだ～まずは古宇利島に出発！道はちょっと遠いが、7か国言語つきの自動ガイド機があれば問題なし、それにガイドさんもやさしく使い説明をした。古宇利島は写真通りとてもキレイ！青い海に島と島を接続する景色が見どころだ。古宇利ビーチは人も多くない、いい写真が撮られた！次はあの伝説の美ら海水族館に出発www～バスは停車場にとまってガイドさんについて到着した。さすが世界有名な美ら海、今まで見たこともない魚や生物ばっかり！黒潮水槽が絶景に言われる間違いない！ランチの後ちょうどイルカの演出があって、いいパフォーマンスを感じた。ウミガメやマナティーも見えた、3時間はあっという間になくなった～次はパイナップルパークに行った、いろんな試食があるからお腹いっぱいwww最後は美浜アメリカンヴィレッジ。沖縄の夏は昼が長いせいで、到着の時まだ夜景ではない、ちょっと残念。
夜九時ホテルに到着した、体が大変疲れなのに、気持ちがいっぱいでした！とても素晴らしい一日暮せてありがとうございます！

We participated as a pair in mid-June. The conditions were fantastic, especially since it was just after the rainy season!

When we arrived at the meeting point at Manza Cape, we were greeted by a beautiful blue sky with not a cloud in sight, crystal-clear waters, intense sunlight that felt like it was piercing our skin, and a very enthusiastic instructor, Osaka-san.

This is truly THE OKINAWA!! Our excitement was already building before the tour even started!

After changing into our wetsuits and descending the stairs to enter the sea from the rocky area, Osaka-san exclaimed, "Woohoo!! It feels amazing when water gets into the wetsuit!!" He looked like he was having the most fun! With Osaka-san leading the way, we enjoyed snorkeling while heading towards the Blue Cave.

Thanks to the great conditions that day, the water was so clear that we could see deep into the coral, and we spotted quite a few large fish in the distance. Colorful tropical fish were swimming close to the surface, completely distracting us from the Blue Cave as we got lost in snorkeling! We played with many different types of fish and were already feeling satisfied even before reaching the Blue Cave. (Just between us, the underwater photos we received later had so many fish that our faces were barely visible! Haha!)

As for the Blue Cave itself, it was breathtaking! The cave was illuminated by a blue light from below, creating a stunning emerald blue view all around! It was truly impressive! The photos we received were beautiful, and we were very satisfied! They looked so good they could be featured in a magazine!

Overall, it was an incredibly satisfying tour! The scenery, the tour content, and instructor Osaka-san were all top-notch! I guarantee 100% value for money!

*As a side note, since our schedule was undecided, we were approached by Osaka-san and ended up trying out sea bob the next day, which he said is currently the most recommended marine sport. It's like a motorized boogie board that you can steer yourself, allowing you to dive and swim among the corals or chase schools of fish! (*^o^*) It's said to be a new marine sport with only a few units available in Japan, so I highly recommend it too!

6月中旬に2人で参加しました。梅雨明け直後という事もあってコンディションは抜群！
待ち合わせの場所の真栄田岬に到着すると雲ひとつない綺麗な青空、透明度MAXの美しい海、肌を突き刺すような強烈な日差し、そしてかなりテンション高めなインストラクターの大坂さんが迎えてくれます。

これこそまさにTHE・OKINAWA！！ツアー前からテンションが上がります！！

ウェットスーツに着替えて階段を降りた岩場から海に入ると、「フォー！！ウェットスーツに水入れると超気持ちいいですよー！！」と誰よりも楽しそうな大坂さん！笑
そんな大坂さんに案内され、シュノーケリングを楽しみつつ青の洞窟へと向かいます。
が、、、、当日のコンディションに恵まれたおかげか水中もかなり深くのサンゴまで透き通り、遠目ですが結構大きめのお魚さんもチラホラ。。。海面でも色鮮やかな柄の熱帯魚が引くほど寄ってきて、もう青の洞窟そっちのけでシュノーケリングに夢中！！
かなりたくさんの種類の魚と戯れ、青の洞窟に到着する前からもう満足度高めです。笑
(後ほどお送り頂いたシュノーケリングの水中写真では魚が多すぎて我々の顔がほとんど写っていなかったのはここだけの話！！笑)

肝心の青の洞窟ですが、海の下から青いライトで照らされているかのように洞窟の中が一面エメラルドブルーの絶景！！圧巻です！！
お送り頂いた写真もきれいで大満足！そのままま雑誌に載せられるんじゃないかというほど綺麗な出来栄え！笑

全体を通して大満足のツアーでした！
景色もツアー内容もインストラクターの大坂さんも最高！コスパ100%保証です！

※余談ですがスケジュールが未定だった我々は大坂さんにナンパされ、翌日に大坂さん曰く今1番のオススメマリンスポーツというシーボブに挑戦させて頂きました。
モーターのついたビート板のようなもので、自分で操縦して潜水しながらサンゴのあいだを泳いでみたり、魚の群れを追いかけてみたりなんて事も出来ちゃいます(*^o^*)
まだ日本に数台しかない新たなマリンスポーツとの事ですのでそちらもオススメですよ～！
