All Reviews for Bus Tours

It was fun, and the places we visited were great, but the schedule was too packed. I was disappointed that I only had one hour at Pineapple Park, which didn't allow for enough shopping. I hope they can reconsider the time allocation. Also, there was someone who misunderstood the meeting time and didn't come back, so I would like them to distribute a schedule to ensure everyone is well-informed about the meeting time.

楽しかったし、行く場所も良かったのだがスケジュールが過密過ぎる。パイナップルパークが1時間しかないせいで買い物が満足にできなかったのが残念。
なので時間配分を見直して欲しいとは思う。
あとは集合時間を勘違いして帰ってこない人が居たので、時間表を配ったりなどして集合時間の周知徹底をしっかり行って欲しい。

You can go on your own, but the beauty of the tour is that the guide provides detailed explanations about the places you will visit along the way. Based on that knowledge, my visits to the Sefa Utaki and the Gangala Valley turned into a wonderful journey.

At Sefa Utaki, I stepped into the heart of the Ryukyu Kingdom's politics, a place that served as a spiritual home for the king and the people. In the Gangala Valley, each group had a specialized guide who joyfully introduced us to the valley's formation, its flora and fauna, and the remains of ancient human dwellings and burials, allowing us to share a moment in time with the ancient Port of Nakagusuku people.

Although my wife, who was supposed to join me, was unwell and I participated alone, I had a great time.

自分で行くことも出来ますがツアーの良さはガイドさんが道中にこれから行くところを詳しく説明してくれるところだと思います。
その知識をもとに行った斎場御嶽とガンガラーの谷は素晴らしい旅になりました。
斎場御嶽では琉球王国の政治の根幹をなす王と国の民の心の拠り所に足を踏み入れ古代王朝の世界に。
ガンガラーの谷ではグループごとに専門のガイドさんが楽しくこの谷の成り立ちや動植物、古代人の住居跡や埋葬の跡を紹介してくれ太古の港川人と時空を共有出来ました。
同行予定の妻が体調不良でひとりで参加しましたが楽しく過ごせました。

Waking up a bit early was not ideal, but I was impressed with the tour guide's sightseeing information. Since they drop you off at the airport at 1 PM, I think this is a good option for those flying in the afternoon. Thank you very much.

朝少し早いのがいまいちだけど、ガイドさんの観光案内も付いていて感動しました。午後1時に空港で降ろしてくれるので、午後便で帰る人には良い選択肢の一つになると思います。ありがとうございました。

I was able to efficiently sightsee for half a day on the last day.
The World Heritage Site "Sefa Utaki" is a must-visit.
The limestone cave at Okinawa World is very beautiful. My child was moved to see a limestone cave for the first time.

最終日の半日を効率よく観光できました。
世界文化遺産「斎場御獄」がMust visit
おきなわワールドの鍾乳洞がとてもきれい。こどもがはじめて鍾乳洞をみれて感動した。

The guide was very kind. They were also good at singing. They brought a sanshin and taught us how to move our hands while dancing. It was fun.

ガイドはとても優しい。歌も上手。三線も持って来て、踊りの手の振り方も教えてくれました。楽しかったです。

I participated in "Saijō Gushikawa" and "Gangalala Valley" this time. The bus guide and the local guide provided thorough explanations, and the driver was also very kind, making it a very enjoyable tour. I’m truly sorry for causing trouble by forgetting my souvenirs on the bus on the way back. I really appreciate that you returned them to the restaurant where I got off last. Thank you very much. I would like to use Beltora again for my next trip.

今回「斎場御嶽」と「ガンガラーの谷」に参加しました。バスガイドさん現地のガイドさんの丁寧な説明と運転手さんも親切でとても楽しいツアーでした。帰りバスの中に土産物を忘れて迷惑をかけてしまい、本当に申し訳ありませんでした。最後に降りた先のレストラン迄戻って届けて頂き助かりました。ありがとうございました。次回の旅行の時もベルトラさんで行きたいと思います。

I participated in a bus tour by myself for the first time.
As a result, once I got on the bus, I was taken to the destination without getting lost.
At the destination, I had free time to explore at my own pace, and I just needed to return to the bus by the meeting time.
The bus seats were assigned, but they arranged them by group, so I didn't have to sit next to strangers.
Additionally, the bus guide provided information during the journey, making it very enjoyable and it went by in no time.

初めてひとりでバスツァーに参加してみました
結果
バスに乗ってしまえば現地迄迷うことなく連れていって貰え
現地では自由行動なのでマイペースで見学でき集合時間までにバスに戻れば良いだけ
バスの座席も指定席でしたがグループごとにしていただけていました なので私は知らない人と隣どおしになることもなく
またバスガイドさんが現地までの道中案内をしてくださりとても楽しくあっという間でした

I arrived at the meeting place 40 minutes early, but I wasn't sure where to go. It said "in front of the prefectural office arch," but in reality, I had to look for several buses lined up to figure it out. There were many people wandering around. Even five minutes before the meeting time, no one had arrived at the arch, so I finally went towards the buses and understood where to go.

There is a problem with the meeting location. It would be better to either come to the arch or look for your tour bus. The arch is where school trip students gather.

The tour itself was very good. Next time, I would like to try a full-day tour. I will be going to Okinawa again this year.

待合せ場所に40分まで行きましたが。良くわからない。
県庁前のアーチのと書いてありましたが、
実際は縦列しているバスの幾つかを探さないとわからない。
ウロウロしている方々が沢山いた
５分前になってもアーチの所には誰も来ないので
バスの方へ行ってやっとわかった。

集合場所に問題がある。アーチへ来るか、自分のツアーのバスを探して下さい。とどちらかにした方がいい。
アーチは修学旅行生が集合する。

ツアー事態はとても良いです。
次回は１日ツアーを行ってみたいです。
今年又、沖縄行きます。

I considered the time allocation for the children's restroom and walking pace, and I was always carrying them or moving at a brisk pace (laughs).

At Manzamo, there was a children's restroom, and my child was delighted♪ The sata andagi on the second floor was also delicious.

At Churaumi, we focused mainly on the dolphin show and the sea turtles, and decided to move quickly through the other areas!

The sandwich service was included, and the guide's humor-filled talk, along with singing folk songs and touching on history, made everything very satisfying!

On the way back, my child fell asleep, but when we got off, they helped carry our luggage and were very considerate^^ It became a memorable trip♪ I think it was an incredible deal.

時間配分は子どものトイレ、歩行ペースを考え、
常に抱えて歩いたり、かけ足気味でした(笑)


万座毛には【こどもトイレ】があり我が子は
喜んでいました♪2階のサーターアンダギーも
美味しかったです。

美ら海ではイルカショーとウミガメの辺りをメインに
他はサクサク進むと決めて周りました！

サンドイッチのサービスも着いていて
ガイドさんのユーモアあふれるトークも
民謡も唄って下さったり歴史にも触れられ
全て大満足です！

帰りは子どもが寝てしまいましたが降車時
荷物運んで頂いたり、気にかけて下さりました^^
思い出に残る旅となりました♪
とても破格だと思います

It was a short morning bus tour, but I really appreciated the guide's thoughtful care and the detailed explanations about Okinawa during the ride. Thank you very much.

短い午前中のバスツアーでしたが、ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いや車中では沖縄に関しての詳しい説明がとてもありがたく思いました。
ありがとうございました。

This tour was very fulfilling for the price and duration. The choice of sightseeing spots was satisfying, and I was able to enjoy it even as a solo traveler. Thank you very much.

今回のツアーは値段と時間の割にとても充実したツアーでした。どこも満足の行く観光地のチョイスで ひとり旅でも充分楽しめました。
ありがとうございました

Since we participated with 10 people, the schedule was efficient, and the time spent at tourist spots when getting off the bus was appropriate. The time spent at the Churaumi Aquarium was also just right, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves.

10名で参加したので、スケジュールが効率よくバス下車の際の観光スポット滞在時間も適切でした。美ら海水族館での滞在時間も適当で其々で楽しむことができました。

Since I was traveling alone in Okinawa, I thought about renting a car but decided to join a tour instead. I was impressed by the detailed explanations of the history of Sefa Utaki. I was amazed by the power of Sefa Utaki, enjoyed Okinawa World, and it was a satisfying tour.

一人で沖縄旅行なので、レンタカーもどうかと思いツァーに参加しました。斎場御嶽の歴史をていねいに説明いただき、感激しました。斎場御嶽のパワーに驚き、沖縄ワールドも楽しみ、満足なツァーでしたしました

I participated because all the places I wanted to visit were included! Overall, my impression is that the time spent at each location was short, and I was constantly on the move, running a bit, haha. At the Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to see the dolphin show, but the parking lot was far away, so I was cutting it close for the meeting time, haha. At the Okashi Goten, since I visited in the evening, the sweet potato tart I was looking forward to was sold out, which was disappointing. However, the guide was friendly, and I had a great time. Thank you!

行きたいところが全て組み込まれていたので参加しました！
トータルの感想としては、ひとつひとつの滞在時間が短くて、終始小走りで移動してました笑
美ら海水族館はイルカショーまでみれましたが、駐車場までが遠いので集合時間ギリギリ笑
お菓子御殿では夕方の訪問だったので、お目当ての紅芋タルトが完売で残念でした↓
ただ、ガイドさんもフレンドリーだし、楽しい時間を過ごせてよかったです。ありがとうございました！

On the last day of my trip, I participated with the goal of being taken to the airport, but I was glad I could effectively sightsee during the last half day. The Super Eisa Show at Okinawa World was especially great. It was an impressive show that energized me. Having a half-day tour allowed for efficient sightseeing, which was wonderful. I will use this service again.

旅行最終日、空港に送って貰うのが目的で参加しましたが最後の半日も有効に観光出来て良かったです。とくに沖縄ワールドのスーパーエイサーショーは凄く良かったです
迫力があり元気を頂けるショーでした。
半日のツァーも有ると効率良く観光出来て良かったです。また利用させて頂きます。

On the last day of my first trip to Okinawa, I wanted to make the most of my time before my flight, so I signed up for a tour. I chose the Okinawa World tour, and it was great to experience traditional Okinawan costumes and see the shows! I would have appreciated about an hour more, but I was satisfied with the affordable price. The guide also shared various stories about Okinawa that I wouldn't normally hear.

初めての沖縄旅行の最終日。フライトまでの時間を有効利用したくて申し込みました。沖縄ワールドのツアーを選びましたが、沖縄衣装の体験やショーも見れてよかったです！あと1時間くらい時間があればありがたかったですが、価格も安く満足です。
ガイドさんも普段聞けない沖縄のいろいろな話もしてくださいました。

Due to the impact of the typhoon, all the activities I had planned were canceled, which brought my mood down. However, in the end, I was able to participate here and created some truly wonderful memories. We were able to visit the tourist spots in Okinawa in just one day, and since we had already decided on the must-visit locations, I felt the duration of our stay was just right. The tour guide was really good at speaking Japanese and made the conversation enjoyable, and the driver was calm, allowing us to relax. Thank you for a wonderful day.

台風の影響で予定していたアクティビティが全てキャンセルになってしまいテンションが下がっていましたが、結果的にこちらに参加させて頂いてとても最高の思い出が出来ました。
沖縄の観光地を1日でまわれて、予めそれぞれの絶対行きたいスポットを決めていたので、私的には滞在時間は丁度良いと感じました。
添乗員さんも日本語が本当にお上手でお話も楽しく、運転手さんも穏やかで安心して過ごせました。
素敵な1日をありがとうございました。

It was great that the guide accompanied us and provided information about Okinawa throughout the journey. However, it was disappointing that the entrance fee for Shurijo Castle was separate and that there was no group discount. I felt that the time spent there could have been shorter, and it might have been better to allocate more time to Okinawa World. Since the departure time was early, I gave up on having breakfast at the hotel, but waiting for the opening time was understandable considering the traffic. In any case, I felt that two hours at Okinawa World was not enough to see two shows, so I would prefer a plan without Shurijo Castle altogether.

ガイドさんが同乗してくれて、移動中も終始沖縄のガイドをしてくれる所は非常に良いが、斎場御嶽の入場料金が別途で、団体割引きの適用も無いのは残念、そこでの時間はもっと短くて、沖縄ワールドを多めにしても良いのではと、感じた。出発時間も早いのでホテルの朝ごはんを諦めたのに開場時間待ちしたのも、まぁ、渋滞考慮で仕方ないのかも知れないが、って感じ。兎に角、沖縄ワールドで２時間ではショーを２つ見るのも厳しいと感じたので、いっそのこと斎場御嶽はなしのプランを希望します。

It was my first trip to Okinawa. Since I only stayed for two nights, this bus tour allowed me to visit several famous spots, making it a very meaningful day. Some places were a bit short on time, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The admission fee for the Churaumi Aquarium was included, and there was also a service for delicious sandwiches, which made it feel like a great deal. The guidance from the veteran tour guide was also very good.

初めての沖縄旅行でした。２泊という短い滞在だってので今回のバスツアーで名所を何箇所も回れてとても有意義な一日でした。若干時間の短い場所もありましたが、美しい風景を楽しめました。美ら海水族館の入館料も含まれ、美味しいサンドウィッチのサービス等もあり、とてもお得感がありました。ベテランガイドさんの案内もとても良かったです。

利点：
- 時間を節約できる
- 一日に多くの場所を訪れることができる
- 車を借りたりタクシーで移動する必要がない
- 自分で計画する必要がない
- 非常に構造化されている

欠点：
- 非常に構造化されている
- 急かされているように感じる
- バスに間に合うか常に心配になる
- 各場所での時間が非常に短く感じる

私たちは急いで次の場所に移動するタイプではありませんが、チュラウミ水族館に行きたかったので、このツアーの一つを選びました。正直なところ、私と息子は水族館で一日を過ごす方が好ましいです。一つの場所を訪れるために同じ金額を支払って、急かされることなく過ごしたいです。

The pros :
- You can save time
-You get to visit many places in one day
-No need to rent a car or travel by taxi
- No need to organize it yourself
- very structured

The cons:
- Very structured
- It feels like we're being rushed
- Always worried about making it to the bus on time
- Time feels very short for each place.

We're not the type to rush from one place to another but we really wanted to go to Churaumi aquarium and this was one of the tours available. Honeslty me and my son would prefer to spend one day at the aquarium. I would pay the same amount to visit just one place and not feel so rushed.

The sacred site of Sefa Utaki on Okinawa Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is truly a mystical space in nature that cleanses the soul. I believe it's a must-visit when you come to Okinawa.

Okinawa World is also packed with traditional Okinawan culture, featuring shows like Eisa and the Habu and Mongoose show, as well as a tropical fruit garden and Habu Museum Park that can only be found in the tropics. I was very satisfied with the many attractions. The limestone cave Gyokusendo is an extraordinary space created by nature, and just entering it is incredibly worthwhile. The bus guide was also very wonderful! You can also stop by Naha Airport on the way back, so I recommend it for your last day!

世界遺産の沖縄本島の聖地 斎場御嶽は本当に大自然の中の神秘的な空間で心が洗われました。沖縄に来たら絶対来るべきだと思います。
おきなわワールドも園内にギュっと沖縄伝統文化が凝縮されていて、エイサーやハブとマングースのショーが観れたり、南国でしか見れない熱帯フルーツ園やハブ博物公園なと沢山のコンテンツで大満足でした。鍾乳洞の玉泉洞は大自然が生んだ非日常空間で ここに入るだけでもめちゃめちゃ価値があります。バスガイドさんもとても素敵でした！帰路は那覇空港にも寄ってもらえますので最終日にもオススメです！

I was efficiently guided to popular spots in Okinawa such as Churaumi Aquarium, Manzamo, and Kouri Island, and the bus guide's stories were truly wonderful and captivating! The pineapples at Pineapple Park were incredibly delicious! The cost performance and time performance were both excellent, and on the way back, I was able to see the sunset sinking into the horizon from the bus! It was really great!

美ら海水族館や万座毛、古宇利島など沖縄の人気スポットを効率的に案内してもらえた上にバスガイドさんのお話が大変素晴らしく面白くて聞き入ってしまいました！パイナップルパークのパイナップルはめちゃめちゃ美味しかったです！コストパフォーマンスもタイムパフォーマンスも最高で、帰路には社内から水平線へと沈みゆく夕陽も見ることが出来ました！本当に良かったです！

It was a trip where we didn't rent a car, so it was great that we could efficiently visit the tourist spots! My husband, who was visiting Okinawa for the first time, was also happy!

レンタカーを借りない旅行だったので
効率よく観光地を回れたので良かったです！
初めての沖縄だった主人も喜んでました！

I used to be a tour guide, so I've been to Okinawa many times for work, but it was my husband and son's first time there. I wanted them to experience the main tourist spots, so I intentionally joined a tour.

The tour itself was broad but shallow, so I think some people might feel that they needed a bit more time.

I was very satisfied, and the guide entertained us with songs and dances on the bus. We encountered a downpour on Kouri Island, but that became a nice memory (laughs).

My son seemed to really enjoy the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and said he would like to go again if there’s another opportunity.

I was surprised by how much Manza Beach had changed since I last visited, but even under the cloudy sky, the color of the sea at Manza Beach was wonderful.

If I could wish for something, I would have liked to see the Eisa performance at Ryukyu Village until the end.

昔添乗員をしていたので沖縄は何度も仕事で行ってましたが、主人と息子は初めての沖縄だったので、メインの観光地を味わって欲しくて、あえてツアーに参加させて頂きました。

ツアー自体は浅く広くなので、どうしても、もう少し時間があればと感じる方もいると思います。

私としては大満足でガイドさんも歌あり踊りありと車内で楽しませてくれました。
古宇利島でスコールにあってしまいましたが、それもまた良い思い出かな(笑)

息子は美ら海水族館がかなり気に入ったようで、また機会があれば行きたいと言っていました。

久しぶりに行った万座毛の変わりようにビックリしてしいましたが、あの曇り空の中でも万座毛の海の色は素晴らしかったです。

欲を言えば琉球村でのエイサーショーを最後までみたかったかな～。

I was able to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa at a lower cost and with more ease than renting a taxi!

I really appreciated that they accepted my request to split up along the way.

タクシーを借りるよりも低コスト&ラクに
沖縄観光を楽しむことができました！

途中解散したい希望も受け入れてくださり
とてもありがたかったです！

Since it's a half-day itinerary, there are no particular issues. If I had to suggest something, since it ends in the early afternoon, it might be nice to include a lunch spot that can only be reached by bus. Alternatively, it could be added to the course as a stop.

半日行程なので特段の問題なし。
強いて言えば、昼過ぎに終わるので、どうせならどこかバスでしか行けないようなランチを組み込めばいいのかなと。若しくはその場所までコースに入れるとか。

It was fun. I don't have a license, so it was helpful. VERTRA offers many efficient tours. It was disappointing that there were areas we couldn't enter at the Sefa Utaki. The Shisa dance at Okinawa World is enjoyable no matter how many times you see it.

楽しかったです。免許持っていないので助かりました。VERTRAさんは無駄がないツアーが多いです。斎場御獄が入れない箇所がありましたので残念でした。おきなわワールドのシーサーの踊りは何度見ても楽しいです。

It was my first time in Okinawa, and I wanted to explore various places, but since I didn't have a car, I decided to use a bus tour this time. Many tours only depart from Naha City, but this one was the only one that started from a hotel in Onna Village, and they also provided a return trip, which I really appreciated.

That day, there were few passengers, creating a homely and relaxed atmosphere. The tour included all the places I wanted to visit in Okinawa, and the ticket prices for both the Churaumi Aquarium and Pineapple Park were included, making it feel like a great deal. It was the day the rainy season started, and there was heavy rain, so I couldn't enjoy the view at Manza Beach, but I think I'll save that for my next visit.

The bus guide was also a very nice person who provided a lot of interesting explanations about Okinawa, which was fascinating for me as a first-timer. They even sang Okinawan songs, which was enjoyable. Thank you very much!

Next time, I would like to use this tour again when the weather is clear during my next visit to Okinawa.

初めての沖縄だったので、色々周りたいけど車も無かったので今回バスツアーを利用しました。
那覇市内からしか出発していないツアーが多く、恩納村に宿泊していたのでここのツアーが唯一恩納村のホテルから出発できて、帰りも送っていただけるということでとても有り難かったです。

この日は搭乗人数も少なくアットホームで自由な雰囲気でした^^
沖縄の行っておきたかった場所が全て詰まっていて、美ら海水族館かパイナップルパークのチケット代も含まれてこの価格はとてもお得だと感じました。
梅雨入りの日ですごい大雨で万座毛などは眺められませんでしたがまた次来た時の楽しみに取っておこうと思います。
バスガイドさんもとても人柄の良い方で、沖縄について色々な説明を沢山してくださり、初めてだった私にはどれも興味深かったです。
沖縄の歌も歌ってくださり楽しめました。
ありがとうございました^^

次は晴れてる時に、また沖縄に来た際は利用したいです。

I chose the course at the Valley of Gangala. The explanations were thorough, and it was enjoyable. I think participating on the last day of my stay was just right for the time until my late flight.

ガンガラーの谷のコースにしました。丁寧に説明してくださり楽しかったです。滞在最終日に参加したら遅いフライトまでの時間に丁度良かったと思いました。

I had a great time! However, I went with my mother, who walks with a cane. At the Churaumi Aquarium, you have to walk from the parking lot to the entrance. Since you also walk around at Nago Pineapple Park, I wouldn't recommend the tour for those with mobility issues. If someone with mobility issues is participating, I think it would be a good idea to contact the tour company in advance.

とても楽しかったです！
ただ、私が行った時は杖をつきながら歩く母と一緒でした。
美ら海水族館は入り口まで駐車場から歩きます。ナゴパイナップルワールドでも園内歩くので、足の悪い方はツアーはオススメできません。
足の悪い方が参加されるのなら、一度観光会社に問い合わせておくといいと思います。
