All Reviews for Bus Tours

I participated in a bus tour. It was a fun day visiting various places! I was a bit concerned about the traffic on the way back, especially since it coincided with the holiday season and the Spring Festival. If I get the chance to come back to Okinawa, I would love to join another tour!

バスツアーに参加
一日、色々な所に行って楽しい日になりました！
連休や春節とも重なりかなあ〜と帰りの渋滞が気になりました
また、沖縄に来れたらまたツアーに参加したいです

It was my first time participating alone, but I was given very detailed information about the sightseeing content, meeting time, and souvenirs, so I was able to enjoy the tour without any worries. The conversations in the car were so enjoyable that time flew by. The topics I was unfamiliar with and found interesting made me want to take notes, as the speaker was very good at sharing information. When I visit Okinawa again, I look forward to trying a different course.

初めての1人参加だったけれど、観光内容、集合時間、お土産など、とても詳しく教えていただき、不安などなく、楽しく観光できました。
車内でもお話が楽しくあっという間に時間がたってしまいました。
知らない事、興味のあるお話は、思わずメモを取ってしまうほど、お話もお上手でした？
また沖縄にいく時には、違うコースも楽しみたいと思います

Since it was a morning tour, I was able to enjoy Okinawa until the end. However, the Gyokusendo Cave was longer than I expected, and after watching the Haisai Show, I was worried that my elderly mother wouldn't make it back to the bus on time, so I had to hold her hand and run for the latter half of the tour. I think it would have been better if there had been a bit more detailed information about how long it would take to walk.

午前中のツアーだったので、沖縄を最後まで楽しめました。
ただ、玉泉洞が思った以上に長く、ハイサイショーを観てから見学すると年配の母の足では、バスの時間に間に合わなくなりそうで、後半ずっと手を引いて走りました。
歩いてどれくらい時間がかかるとか、少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思います。

Since both Saijō-ō-taki and the Gangala Valley are difficult to access without a car, I used this tour. Walking in the rain was a bit challenging, but I'm glad I participated. However, I think it's strange that the entrance fee for Saijō-ō-taki is not included in the tour price. With only two locations to visit, is there really anyone who wouldn't want to see this place?

　齊場御嶽もガンガラーの谷も、車がないと行きづらい場所なのでこのツアーを利用しました。
　雨の中歩くのはちょっと大変でしたが、参加できてよかったと思います。
　ただ、斎場御嶽の入場料代がツアー料金に含まれていないのは、おかしいと思います。2か所しか行かないのに、ここの見学をしない人なんている？

It was a one-day tour, but the time allocation was just right, which was great. The bus guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I really appreciated it. I will use this service again. Thank you very much.

1日観光でしたが、ちょうど良い時間配分で
良かったです。
バスガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく
利用させていただき本当に良かったです。
また利用させていただきます。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in a morning tour for my afternoon flight. Since I had previously visited Okinawa World, this time I went to the Gyokusendo Cave. This tour was better than I expected, and it was nice to walk slowly through the valley with a guide. Although there were some ups and downs, the path was paved and easy to walk on, so I didn't get tired. The guide was also good at speaking, and the tempo was slow, making it easy to listen. Okinawa World’s limestone cave is great, but Gyokusendo Cave is also wonderful.

午後の飛行機のため午前中のツアーに参加。
以前、おきなわワールドに行ったため、今回はガンカラーの谷へ。
このツアー思った以上に良く、谷の中をゆっくりとガイド付きで歩き回るのがよい。少しアップダウンはあるものの、道が舗装されていて歩きやすく、疲れなかった。
ガイドさんも、話がうまくテンポもゆっくり目で聞きやすかった。
おきなわワールドの鍾乳洞もよいですが、ガンガラーの谷も良いですよ。

I think the admission fee is cheap, including everything. The sightseeing spots are great! The guide was also good! It's just a shame about the weather.

入館料金も含まれての料金、安いと思います。
見学の場所も良い！ガイドさんも良い！
ただ、天気だけが残念でした(⁠个⁠_⁠个⁠)

If you're planning to explore Sefa Utaki thoroughly, I recommend wearing sneakers that allow you to walk quickly. The path is made of stones and has some slopes, so you need to be careful with your footing as it can be dangerous. It's understandable since it's a sacred site rather than just a tourist spot. I was glad it was sunny, but I thought that if it were rainy, you should be cautious about slipping on the stone paths. Considering the distance from the bus parking lot, you need to walk briskly to have enough time to see everything. Since it's a half-day tour, it's important to prioritize what you want to see.

Next, Okinawa World’s Gyokusendo Cave was amazing. It was on a scale I've never seen before, both internationally and within Japan. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been; it offers an otherworldly experience. I spent so much time there that I mostly skipped the events above ground. If I had walked more efficiently, I could have enjoyed the mongoose and habu exhibits and had a more fulfilling tour, but I took my time. I would love to participate again someday.

斎場御嶽はしっかり見学しようと思ったらサッサと歩けるスニーカーがおすすめです。
石を敷き詰めた小道で勾配もあるので足元気をつけて歩かないとあぶないこともあります。
観光地としてよりも聖地なのだから仕方ないですが。
晴天でよかったですが雨だと石畳の小径は滑らないよう注意した方がいいかなと思いました。バス駐車場からの距離も考え早めの足取りでないと全部みる時間はありません。半日ツアーなので仕方ありません。みたいものの優先順位決めておくといいです。
次に沖縄ワールドの玉泉洞最高でした。海外でも日本国内でも今迄見たことのないほどのスケールの場所でした。行った事のない人に是非見てもらいたい異次元の感動が得られます。
ここで時間とってしまったので地上のイベントはほとんどスルーしてしまいました。
もっと要領よく歩けばマングースとハブや民族的な所も楽しめて充実したツアーを体験できたのにゆっくりしてしまいました。いつかまた参加してみたいと思いました。

The guide's tips on how to enjoy each destination and stories related to Okinawa were helpful and enjoyable. It was windy and cold near the sea. Food was being sold at various locations. The Hikan cherry blossoms were also in bloom. I'm glad we took the bus since it would have taken over two hours to drive from Naha.

ガイドさんの、各行き先での楽しみ方や沖縄にまつわるお話がためになり、楽しかったです。
海の近くは風が強くて寒かったです。
各所で食べ物を販売していました。
ヒカン桜も咲いていました。
那覇から車で行ったら2時間以上運転しないといけないのでバスで行って良かったです。

We participated as a family. It was amazing. The aquarium and Kouri Island were particularly great. The additional meals were delicious as well. If I have the chance, I will definitely join again. I highly recommend this course.

家族で参加しました。最高でした。水族館と古宇利島は特に良かったです。追加での食事も美味しかったです。機会があればまた、参加させて頂きます。
是非お勧めのコースです。

It was a very cold day with occasional rain, but traveling by bus was easy. Along the way, I enjoyed listening to the audio guide, which provided explanations at various points, making it enjoyable even on my own. I believe it was when we passed over the Kouri Bridge, and the driver slowed down so we could take in the scenery properly.

時折雨も降りとても寒い日でしたが、バスでの移動で楽々でした。
道中、音声ガイドで所々解説を聞きながら進むので、ひとりでも十分楽しめました。
古宇利大橋通過時だったと思いますが、ゆっくり速度を落として通過してくださったので、しっかりと景色を見ることができました。

Although the weather was bad, the guide sang many songs and the stories were enjoyable, making for a wonderful time. I was concerned about my companion's footing, but I was grateful for the utmost consideration shown.

天候が悪かったのですが、ガイドさんが歌をたくさん歌ってくれ、話の内容も楽しくとても素晴らしいひと時を過ごしました。連れの足元に不安があったのですが、最大限の配慮をしてくださりありがたかったです。

I escaped the cold and enjoyed a long-awaited trip to the tropical Okinawa. I discovered new tourist spots like Manza Beach and American Village, which felt like a new Okinawa experience. I had been to the Churaumi Aquarium several times before, so I separated from the group, but just the two of us went to the Tropical Dream Center, where we enjoyed the tropical plants and beautiful flowers, truly savoring the island vibe.

As expected from the travel company chosen by Veltra, the staff, including the driver and tour guide, were wonderful. There were over 40 participants on the bus, a mix of Japanese and foreigners (mainly from Asia), and most people exchanged smiles as we passed each other. However, we had to wait about 20 minutes for a group of six young men and women, presumed to be Korean, who were not at the meeting point. At each tourist spot, they returned to the bus just in time, often one or two minutes late, which was quite common. I thought the early drop-off would be quick, but even before we arrived, there was an announcement, and despite the bus stopping, they didn’t get off until the tour guide went to get them. Eventually, they got off without saying anything.

They were likely not part of Veltra's group, but I thought it must be tough for popular tours to refuse anyone. Other than that, it was a problem-free and enjoyable trip.

寒さを逃れ、久々の南国沖縄旅行を楽しんできました。
万座毛・アメリカンビレッジ等新しい観光地も見えて、新沖縄発見でした。
美ら海水族館は以前に何度も行ったので、団体から離れる形態になりましたが、我々だけでしたが熱帯ドリームセンターに行き熱帯植物・きれいな花を見て南国の島を十分に味わいました。
さすがのベルトラさんが選ぶ旅行会社で、スタッフの運転手さん添乗員さんは素晴らしかったです。
参加者もバスに４０人以上の日本人と外国人（主にアジア系）が混合乗車していましたが、ほとんどの人が笑顔ですれ違う感じでしたが、途中集合場所から参加した韓国人と思われる若い男女の６人グループが集合場所におらず２０分程度待たされ、各観光地でも喫煙のためかバスに帰ってくるのが時間ギリギリで1・２分遅れはあたりまえの様子で、さすがに途中解散は早く降りると思っていたら、着く前に案内があったのにバスが止まっても降りず、添乗員さんがおこしに行って、やっとしばらくして６人で何も言わず降りていきました。
ベルトラさんの客ではないグループでしょうが、人気ツアーも来る人拒めずで大変と思いましたが、それ以外は問題なく楽しい旅ができました。

I had a very fulfilling day visiting various places since the morning. I felt that the Churaumi Aquarium could have been a bit shorter, but for families, this duration might be just right.

朝から色々なところを回れてとても充実した1日になりました。美ら海水族館はもう少し時間短くても良いように思えましたが、家族づれだと今くらいがちょうどいいのかも知れません。

On my first trip to Okinawa, I searched for a tour that would allow me to see various sights in one day, and I participated in this one. Each stop had enough time for us, which I think was great for my elderly parents. Additionally, the tour fee included admission to the Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park, so we were able to enjoy ourselves from morning until night, making this tour very cost-effective. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

初めての沖縄旅行、１日でいろいろ観光できるツアーを探して、今回参加させていただきました。
ひとつひとつの滞在時間が十分あったので、高齢の両親にとっても大変良かったと思います。
またツアー代に美ら海水族館とパイナップルパークの入園料も含まれており、それで朝から晩まで遊んでこのツアー料金はとてもコスパがいいと思います。
とても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I don't drive, so I was lucky to have a bus tour in January. At the Valley of Gangala, they handed out cold sanpin tea tumblers to each person, and the guide was truly wonderful. They walked slowly and spoke clearly, making me feel like I was on an adventure that connected me to the workings of the Earth. It was a place I had wanted to visit for a long time, and I’m really glad it was such a fantastic tour. I highly recommend it! I think winter might be the best season to go. The Saiyū-ōgū and the bus attendant were also great.

車の運転はしないので、バスツアーが1月にもあってラッキー。
ガンガラーの谷は、冷たいさんぴん茶のタンブラーを一人づつ渡してくれ、
ガイドさんがとても素晴らしかったです。
聞き取りやすいようにゆっくりと歩いて話してくれて、地球の営みを感じるような冒険に行ったような気持ちになりました。
前から行きたかった場所で、かつこんな素晴らしいツアーで、本当に良かった。おすすめです！
冬がベストシーズンなのではないかと思います。
斎場御獄もバスの添乗員さんも良かったです。

I traveled to Okinawa alone to obtain my open water diving license. Since I didn't have a car, I hadn't planned my itinerary for the last day of the trip, so I made a last-minute reservation to join a tour.

It was my first time visiting Sefa Utaki, and I felt a mystical vibe there, as if I received a lot of positive energy. Okinawa World was just the epitome of Okinawa, with attractions like Gyokusendo Cave, the Eisa dance show, and various other experiences that were a lot of fun.

The tour wraps up around early afternoon, and they drop you off directly at the airport, which is convenient. I recommend it for those planning to head back in the afternoon.

ダイビングのオープンウォーターライセンス取得する為に1人での沖縄旅行。
車も無かったので旅行最終日の予定を決めておらず急遽予約して参加しました。
斎場御獄は初めて行きましたが神秘的な感じでとてもパワーをいただいたような気分になりました。
おきなわワールドはもうTHE沖縄という感じで玉泉洞やエイサーショー、その他色々な体験もできますし楽しいです。
お昼過ぎぐらいに終わるのでそのまま空港で降ろしてくれるので楽ですよ。
午後お帰りの予定の方にはお薦めです。

I ended up traveling to Okinawa alone for personal reasons and signed up for this tour. Every place we visited was enjoyable, but the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium had more souvenirs than I expected, which was great. Since I was exploring alone, the guide kindly offered to take my pictures. They took photos of me at Kouri Island and Manza Beach, and the locations were beautiful, plus the pictures turned out really well! (laughs) Additionally, they were very helpful in sharing the timing for the dolphin show at the aquarium and recommending sweets at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. I had a wonderful time participating alone, and the kindness of the guide made for great memories. I highly recommend this tour!

訳あって1人で沖縄旅行をすることになりこのツアーに申し込みました。
回った場所はどこも楽しめましたが、御菓子御殿が予想以上にたくさんお土産がありよかったです。
1人でまわっていたのでガイドの方からお写真撮りましょうかと声をかけていただきました。古宇利島、万座毛で写真を撮っていただきましたが、場所もよくお写真がすごく上手で映えてました！（笑）
また、美ら海水族館のイルカショーの時間や御菓子御殿のおすすめスイーツを教えていただきとても親切でした。
1人で参加してもとても楽しめましたし、ガイドさんの親切さがとても良い思い出になりました。すごくおすすめのツアーです。

After a relaxing stay at a hotel in Ginowan, which is close to Naha and has a harbor view, my mother and I, as beginners in Okinawa, wanted to do some sightseeing on our last day, so we joined a full-day tour. Initially, we considered a taxi tour because of my elderly mother, but thanks to this punctual tour, we were able to visit all the places we wanted to see. If we had taken a private taxi, we might not have been able to visit as many places at my mother's leisurely pace, and we might have ended up returning early, which wouldn't have been the same as the tour experience. As a Japanese person living in France for 30 years, I was captivated by the beautiful voice of the female guide and her clear and correct Japanese! I was overwhelmed by the amount of information she provided and was impressed by the professionalism of Japan! While many Japanese might take this for granted, such experiences are not common in France or other countries!!! The wonderful guide was modest, but I believe that Japanese people should take pride in their abilities and engage with the world without being overly humble. This was also thanks to the detailed history of Okinawa she shared with us, and being able to witness the U.S. military bases in Okinawa!!! I am grateful for the great tour and the wonderful guide and driver.

母息子して、沖縄初心者、那覇にも近くハーバーヴューでもある宜野湾のホテルにゆったりと滞在後、やはり色々と観光したく最終日に参加した、終日ツアーでした。高齢の母とだったため、当初タクシーツアーを検討しましたが、結果、時間厳守のこのツアーに乗ったおかげで観たい所が全て周れ、貸し切りタクシーだったら同じ時間でも、甘えて母のゆっくりペースでたいして周れづ、また途中で帰るなどして、ツアーのようには行かなかったでしょう。在仏３０年の日本人として、ガイドの女性添乗員さん美しい声の、そして正しく綺麗な日本語に聞き惚れていた一日でした！そしてその情報量には圧倒され、日本のプロフェッショナルの凄さに感動しました！それが当たり前と思う日本人が多いのかと思いますが、フランスでも他国でもそんな事はあり得ません！！！その素敵な添乗員さんは謙遜されていましたが、日本人は、慎ましくあっても、そう‘’謙遜‘’せずに、誇りをもって、これからの世界と付き合っていかなければと思った次第です。それも詳しい沖縄の歴史をガイドしていただき、沖縄の米軍基地を目の当たりにできたお陰です！！！
良いツアーと素敵な添乗員さん、運転手氏に感謝

I think this is a great tour to enjoy Okinawa. However, while the dinner performance was interesting, the taste was just average. The portion was large. For me, American Village might have been better as a different sightseeing option. It wasn't very appealing for my aunt as a tourist spot. Okinawa's winter was surprisingly cold, and I wanted to return to the bus quickly.

　沖縄を満喫するのにすごく良いツアーだと思います。ただ夕食がパフォーマンスとしては面白かったけど味は普通でした。量は多かったです。アメリカンビレッジが私にとっては別の観光の方が良かったかなぁ？おばさんには観光としてイマイチでした。沖縄の冬、意外と寒くて早くバスに戻りたかったです。

It was a relaxing day tour from Naha to the northern tourist spots, swaying on the bus, buying and enjoying Okinawa's famous snacks at each stop, and taking in the scenery through the window. I was startled by the sound of military aircraft from the U.S. military base, but overall, it was a fulfilling experience in Okinawa. I had a great time. It was truly a wonderful experience. Of course, the staff were professional and provided a great sense of security.

那覇から北部の観光地まで…のんびりバスにゆられて、停まる毎に沖縄の名産おやつを買って食べて、車窓の景色を楽しんで、、、、米軍基地の軍用機の爆音におののいて、、、、沖縄を満喫出来る一日ツアーでした。楽しかったです。本当に良い体験でした。もちろんスタッフさんもプロフェッショナルで安心感も満載でした。

I made the reservation mainly for the Churaumi Aquarium, but Pineapple Park was incredibly fun! Pineapple Park had a unique atmosphere with music playing endlessly, but since the area is quite large, it's important to manage your time wisely. After the first shop you encounter at Pineapple Park, there’s another shop near the exit that sells alcohol and other items. You might run out of time to explore the area selling alcohol, so please make sure to fully enjoy Pineapple Park!

美ら海水族館目当てでの予約だったのですが、パイナップルパークが最高に楽しかったです！
パイナップルパークでは独特の音楽が永遠に流れ続ける不思議な空間でしたが、かなり広い敷地なため、時間配分を気をつけたほうがいいです。
最初に出てくるパイナップルパークの売店の後に、出口付近にあるお酒などを売っている別の売店があります。
お酒などを売っているエリアをゆっくり見る時間がなくなってしまうので、みなさんはパイナップルパークを余すことなく満喫できるように気をつけてください！

This is my third time in Okinawa, but it was my first visit to Seifa Utaki and Okinawa World. Both were very good. I want to go again.

沖縄三度目ですが、セーファー御嶽も沖縄ワールドも初めてでした。両者とも、とても良かったです。また行きたいと思っています。

I found the bus stop to be confusing, and I wondered what a "kamaboko-shaped" roof was. However, a kind stranger helped me, and from there, the conversation flowed, and I made a new friend! The person was from Hong Kong and was also traveling alone, which made it enjoyable. The bus number was 888, a lucky number, and the sightseeing spot we visited today felt like a place of high energy, almost like a divine location, where I felt the power of nature.

I can't speak English, but I was able to communicate smoothly using an app on my iPhone that translates Japanese to English. Thank you very much!

バス乗り場が分かりにくくカマボコ型の屋根ってなんだ？と思いましたが知らない人が親切にしてくれそこから話が弾み友達もできました！香港の方でしたがその方も1人で来ていたので楽しかったです。バスも888とラッキーナンバーでしかも今日行った観光がすごく波動が高そうな神様の場所だったり自然のパワーを頂けた気がします。
英語は話せませんがiPhoneの翻訳と書かれたアプリで和訳するとスムーズに話せました！ありがとうございました。

The Churaumi Aquarium features an impressive whale shark viewable from the tank near the café! As soon as I arrived at the café where I could see the fish, I made a reservation for a 40-minute wait and explored other areas. It was the most wonderful and relaxing time, healing with the fish. I came to Okinawa to obtain a qualification, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt a bit anxious, but since I was here, I wanted to enjoy myself and booked this tour. The family next to me was friendly, and I felt so happy thinking this was a nice connection. However, since there were so many places to visit, I didn't have much time, and at the Churaumi Aquarium, I was in line and barely managed to buy souvenirs. At American Village, it was quite challenging since I got lost, so it was tough if I hadn't decided on the places to go in advance! I thought it felt like a trial experience.

美ら海水族館は、カフェの近くの水槽からみるジンベイザメ？が圧巻！魚をみれるカフェついたらすぐに待ち時間40分予約して他をまわりました。さいっこうに素敵なリラックスしたお魚に癒された時間でした。資格を沖縄にとりにきたので女性で1人は不安でしたがせっかく来たので満喫したくこのツアーを予約しました。隣りのご家族が仲良くしてくれまたこれもご縁だな〜と幸せいっぱいでした。ただ、あまりにもたくさん行くので時間が全然なく美ら海水族館では並んでいてギリギリお土産買えず、アメリカンビレッジは、迷うのでかなり行くところを決めていなければきつかったです！
お試し感覚かな？と思いました。

The bus guide was very cheerful, a great singer, and a veteran staff member! The driver also drove very safely and arrived on time.

However, I think a tour from morning to night can be tough for customers with young children, around 3 years old! They cry and can be noisy, and I believe it was quite bothersome for those around them on the bus.

I thought it would be good to consider this when choosing a tour!

That was the only tiring part.

★ Other than that, I was very satisfied with the content!

Thank you for your hard work! Thank you!

バスガイドさんはとても明るくて歌も上手でベテランスタッフさんでした！
運転手さんもとても安全運転で時間通り着きました

ただ子連れのお客様で3歳くらいのお子様には朝から晩までのツアーはきついと思います！泣くしうるさくてしかもバス中で履いてとても周り迷惑されたと思います

考えてツアーを選択したら良いなーと思いました！

それだけが疲れました

★あとはとても良い内容で満足しました！

お疲れ様でした
有難うございます！

The sightseeing locations were only two, but they were very fulfilling. The guide provided various explanations, which was great. Lastly, being dropped off at Naha Airport was appreciated as a tourist.

見学地は、２ヶ所だけでしたが、とても充実してました。
ガイドさんも、色々と説明をしてくださり、良かったです。
最後に那覇空港で降ろしてもらえるのは観光客としては、ありがたかったです。

Kim, our guide, provided thorough explanations and was kind at each location. The driver was also very nice. I thought I would like to go again (and meet them) someday.

ガイドのキムさんが、丁寧に説明をしてくれ、その場所ごとでも親切でした。
運転手さんも優しかったです。
また行きたい（会いたい）と、思いました。

It was a wonderful tour with excellent time management, content, and the guide's communication skills. I recommend it for those who want to efficiently experience Okinawan culture in half a day. Thank you very much.

タイムマネジメント、内容、ガイドさんのコミュニケーション力、すべてが素晴らしいツアーでした。半日で効率良く沖縄文化に触れたい方にはおすすめです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to tour and sightsee in the northern part of Okinawa in just one day! I could visit tourist spots around Nago at a reasonable price! I went to Manzamo, Kouri Island, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Pineapple Park, and Okashi Goten, and not only did I enjoy sightseeing, but I was also able to buy souvenirs! Although I didn't have meals included, I could eat at each tourist spot, so I was able to get around without any inconvenience! Thank you!

1日で沖縄北部を周遊・観光出来ました！リーズナブルな価格で名護周辺の観光地を周遊出来ました！万座毛, 古宇利島, 沖縄美ら海, ﾊﾟｲﾅｯﾌﾟﾙﾊﾟｰｸ, 御菓子御殿と観光だけでなく, おみやげ物も買うことが出来ました！食事は無かったですが,各観光地で食事が出来たので,不便なく回る事が出来ました！ありがとうございました！
