All Reviews for Bus Tours

This time, I didn't rent a car, so it was my first bus tour. I was attracted to the idea of being able to visit all the spots I wanted with my kids. I appreciated the kindness and thoughtfulness of the staff from Celestial Blue, including the tour guide and driver. However, the schedule was indeed tight. I felt that it might be tough unless the children are in elementary school or older, as it required strict time management. When trying to accommodate the kids' requests (for food and souvenirs), we ended up moving quickly or even dashing, so it might be easier to have prior information about the spots we were visiting. Our boys didn't mind the details, which made it easier for us. Although it was a tour, I enjoy having some time to wander around, and it's nice to have time to relax (without driving). I recommend it for those who are tired of traveling by car. Our family usually travels by car, and since our other itinerary was completely free, the time constraints felt refreshing and enjoyable. By the way, this was my first time experiencing rainy weather in Okinawa. Although we couldn't enjoy the scenery at the famous spots due to the rain, I think the number of spots we could visit and the cost were quite good. I would recommend it for those who have traveled to Okinawa several times or are okay with a bus tour. They take you along longer distances while you relax, and depending on the spots, I think I would consider repeating it next time. The kids also enjoyed it without complaints. With the number of spots on the bus tour, we were able to travel almost all over Okinawa in three days without a rental car. I am satisfied.

今回、レンタカーしなかったので初めてのバスツアー。行きたいスポットに子連れで全部行けるのが魅力的で申込みました。添乗員さん、運転手さん等セルリアンブルーのスタッフの方々の気遣い優しさが嬉しかったです。が、やはりスケジュールがタイトでした。ガッチリ時間管理して子供たちが小学生中学年以上でないと厳しいそうかなと思いました。子供達の要望（食べ物&お土産）を叶えてあげようとすると、ほぼ早歩き移動かダッシュ、事前に行くスポット情報把握した方が楽かなと。我が家は細かい事を気にしない男児でしたので楽だったのかな。ツアーだけど時間限定でぶらぶらするの好き、ぼーっと出来る時間（運転せずに移動）がある方が良い、車移動に飽きている人には、オススメです。私達家族は普段は車旅が多く、他の日程は完全フリーの旅行だったので、時間制限がなかなか新鮮で楽しかったです。ちなみに、今回雨の沖縄は初めてでした。名所が雨で景色を楽しめずでしたが、回れるスポット数、金額的には良かったかなと思います。何回か沖縄旅行行ってる方や、バスツアーで良いと割り切ってる方にはオススメかなと思います。割と長距離をぼーっとしながら連れて行ってくれるので、私はスポットによりけりですが、次回もリピートするのありかなと思っています。子供達も文句なく楽しんでいました。バスツアーのスポット数もあり、３日間の旅で、レンタカー無し、ほぼ沖縄全土移動出来ました。満足です。

This was my first trip to Okinawa. It was a journey with my three daughters, but since I'm a paper driver, I didn't have the courage to rent a car (laughs), so I thought I wouldn't be able to do any sightseeing that required traveling far... Just when I was about to give up, I found this bus tour.

Of course, I wanted to visit the famous Churaumi Aquarium, and for some reason, my youngest really wanted to go to Pineapple Park! So, I was satisfied just to find a tour that could accommodate both of those wishes.

On the day of the tour, we started from Kencho-mae, and as we picked up participants from various hotels, the seats gradually filled up, and by the end, it was almost full, which shows how popular this tour is. At Manzamo, there was a surprising strong wind that blew my daughter's hat away (tears), but we were deeply moved by the ocean blue of Kouri Island, and we even saw sea turtles from the bus window.

Light snacks were distributed on the bus, and I thought they would be cheap sandwiches like the typical ones... but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the sandwiches were! Eating those sandwiches under the blue sea and sky of Kouri Island became an unforgettable experience. Pineapple Park was also quite enjoyable (laughs).

The Churaumi Aquarium was impressive with the whale sharks, and I was moved by the quality of the dolphin show. I couldn't buy the purple sweet potato tart at the snack castle because it was sold out, but I ended up spending quite a bit.

On the way back, instead of returning to Naha, we were dropped off in Chatan, and although it was outside the tour, we were able to enjoy American Village as well! I was able to experience a full day of classic Okinawa sightseeing, and for this price, I am truly satisfied!!! I highly recommend it to first-time visitors to Okinawa!!!

初の沖縄旅行でした。
私と娘3人での旅だったのですが、私がペーパードライバーなためレンタカーを借りる勇気が持てず(笑)、遠方に足を運ぶような観光はできないよな…と諦めていたところ、こちらのバスツアーがヒットしました。
やはり王道の美ら海水族館は行きたい、そしてなぜか末っ子がどうしてもパイナップルパークに行きたい！とのことで(笑)、その2つが叶うところが見つかりまずはその時点で満足。
ツアー当日、私達は県庁前からスタートしたのですが、いろいろなホテルに泊まっている方をピックアップしながら徐々に参加者で座席が埋まっていき、最終的にはほぼ満席になっていたのでやはり人気なツアーなんだと。
万座毛ではすごい強風で娘の帽子が飛ばされるというハプニングもあり（涙）、古宇利島のオーシャンブルーに大感動、車窓からウミガメも見えました。
車内で軽食が配布されたのですが、どうぜTheサンドイッチみたいなチープな感じのものが配られるんでしょ…と思いきや、期待を良い意味で裏切られた美味しいサンドイッチでした！
古宇利島の青い海、青い空のもと食べたサンドイッチ…忘れられないものとなりました。
パイナップルパークもそれなりに(笑)。
美ら海水族館は圧巻のジンベエザメと、イルカショーのクオリティに感動。
お菓子御殿では紅芋タルトが完売で購入できなかったのですが、散財してしまいました。
帰りは那覇まで戻らず、途中の北谷で降ろしていただき、ツアー外ですがアメリカンビレッジも楽しむことができました！
まる一日、沖縄観光の王道を体験することができ、これでこのお値段は本当に大満足です！！！
沖縄初めての方にオススメします！！！

I definitely wanted to visit Sefa Utaki. I prefer to explore at my own pace, so I wanted to take a local bus, but I found out that there are very few buses and the distance from the bus stop to the shrine is quite far... Since I'm not good with directions, I thought I might get lost, so I decided to join a bus tour for peace of mind. The downside of group travel is that you can't move at your own pace, but it was still definitely worth the visit. It truly is a power spot! The intense energy I absorbed at the shrine kept me awake that night. The tour of the Gangala Valley (with a guide) was also great. There were detailed explanations, so I was able to learn a lot and enjoy the tour. If I had to mention a downside, it might be that we had to wait a bit at the beginning (without knowing why), which was a little boring...

斎場御嶽ぜひ行ってみたいところでした。
個人でゆっくり回るのが好きなので路線バスで行きたかったのですが、調べてたらバスの本数が少ないのと、バス停から御嶽までの距離がけっこうあり…
方向オンチなので迷う可能性もあるし、このさいバストゥアーのほうが安心、ということで参加。
集団移動は自分のペースで動けないのが欠点ですが、それでも十分行った価値がありました。
たしかにパワースポットです！
御嶽で浴びた濃いエネルギーのせいでその夜は眠れませんでした。
ガンガラーの谷（ガイドつき）のほうも良かったです。
細かい説明があったので色々と知ることができ、楽しく回れました。
難を言えば、初めにちょっと待たされた（訳もわからず）のが退屈だったかも…

I'm glad we chose an early morning plan. It was great to visit two places right from the start of the day.

Since Sefa Utaki was far and difficult to reach on our own, the convenient bus tour was perfect.

The bus guide provided continuous commentary about Okinawa during the trip, which was enjoyable.

I had been hesitant about bus tours because they can feel rushed, but this time I realized there are such convenient and fun tours available.

If I have the chance, I would like to use this service again. The guide's commentary added to the enjoyment. Thank you very much.

集合時間が朝早いプランにしてよかったです。
朝からサクサク2箇所巡れてよかったです。

斎場御嶽は遠くて自力で行くのが難しかったので
便利なバスツアーでした。

バスガイドさんが終始道中の沖縄ガイドをしてくれていて楽しかったです。

バスツアーはせわしくて嫌厭していたのですが、今回こんな便利で楽しいツアーもあるんだぁと感じました。

機会があればまた利用してみたいと思います。
バスガイドさんのガイドで楽しさ増します。
ありがとうございました。

This is my third trip to Okinawa. This time, I'm traveling alone on a completely free itinerary, but I'm not confident about renting a car. I thought I would stick to sightseeing within the range accessible by the Yui Rail, but I decided to venture a bit into the suburbs. At the Sefa Utaki, I was able to catch a glimpse of the local people's faith in living harmoniously with nature. At Okinawa World, I enjoyed the exciting and powerful performances of the Super Eisa, as well as the natural underground art of the Gyokusendo Cave. There are other attractions as well, but since it was a compact half-day tour, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't take my time to explore everything.

３度目の沖縄、今回は完全フリーの一人旅だけどレンタカーは自信なし。ゆいレールでまわれる範囲での観光と思っていたけど、ちょっと郊外へもと参加しました。斎場御嶽は地元の方々の自然と共に生きる信仰を垣間見ることができ、沖縄ワールドではスーパーエイサーの楽しくも迫力の演舞や、自然の地下芸術である鍾乳洞の玉泉洞。他にも見所はあるのだけど、半日のコンパクトなツアー設定なのでゆっくり見られなかったのが唯一残念なところでした。

The guide sang songs for us, and the bus arrived on time, making it a very pleasant trip. The content of the tour was also not bad.

ガイドさんが歌を歌ってくれたり、時間通りにバスが来て、とても気分が良い旅行でした。ツアーの内容も悪くは無い内容でした。

Since I participated during the holiday period of spring break, it was crowded in various places. However, the scheduled time was just right, and I was generally able to visit the places I wanted to see. Additionally, the guide's atmosphere was very pleasant, and the explanations were interesting, so I was able to spend the bus time without getting bored.

参加したのが春休み期間の休日ということもあり、各地混雑していました。ですが、設定時間が程よく、見たいと考えていたところは概ね見て回ることができました。
またガイドの方の雰囲気がとても良く、説明も興味深かったためバスの時間も退屈せず過ごすことができました。

The weather was great, and we were able to visit many places. The guide was very polite, and we had a wonderful time! I think it's a great deal to visit so many places in one day for this price!

天候にも恵まれて、たくさんの場所を回れて、ガイドさんもとても丁寧な方で、とても楽しく過ごせました！
一日でこんなに回れてこのお値段は安いと思います！

I was able to efficiently visit must-see spots in Okinawa, such as Cape Manzamo, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Additionally, the tour price was reasonable, so I think it's a tour I can recommend to anyone.

万座毛や古宇利島、美ら海水族館など沖縄を訪れたら必ず行きたいスポットを効率よく回ることができた。また、ツアーの値段もお手ごろなので、誰にでもオススメできるツアーだと思った。

This bus tour is quite a bargain. The bus guide entertained us during the trip. The Sefa Utaki was sacred and beautiful, and we also enjoyed Okinawa World! I wish we had an extra 30 minutes at Okinawa World.

このバスツアーはかなりお得。バスガイドさんが移動中も楽しませてくれた。斎場御嶽も神聖で良かったしおきなわワールドも楽しめた！あと30分おきなわワールドの時間があったら良かったかな？

The bus guide was really great, providing insights about the highlights and the area, as well as recommendations for food. If you're planning a long-distance trip for a day, bus tours are definitely a good option!

見どころや地域の解説、おすすめの食べ物のお話しなど、バスガイドさんがとても良かった。日帰りで長距離移動するなら、バス観光もありだな！

The Okinawan dance I saw for the first time was amazing. I was moved watching the young girls dance powerfully with smiles on their faces. If you come to Okinawa, definitely go see it. It's an unforgettable experience.

初めて見た沖縄踊りすごく良かったです。若い女の子達が力強く、笑顔で踊ってるの観て感動しました。沖縄に来たら是非観に行ってください。一緒忘れない体験です。

I was able to adjust to the final travel itinerary, and they even took me to the airport. I was able to make effective use of my time. The explanation about the Gangala Valley was also very good. The bus guide had a very nice voice and provided great guidance.

旅行最終日程に合わせることが出来て、しかも空港まで連れていってくれる。時間を有効に使えました。ガンガラーの谷も説明があり、とてもよかったです。ﾊﾞｽ　ガイドさんもとてもいい声で案内してくれました。

Saijo-ji Gokoku was disappointing as there were restricted areas due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and I couldn't see Kudaka Island. However, at the Gangala Valley, there was a guide, and I was able to quietly enjoy Okinawa's history and mystery.

斎場御獄はコロナ禍で立ち入り禁止エリアもあり、久高島も望めず、残念でした。
ガンガラーの谷はガイドもあり沖縄の歴史と神秘を静かに堪能できました。

Fourth visit to Okinawa, solo trip.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, it was about time to travel again, and with the nationwide travel subsidy, the bus was almost full and bustling.
Churaumi Aquarium:
There used to be three whale sharks, but now there is only one, and the large tank looks lonely (-_-;) The dolphin show at Okichan Theater was enjoyable even for a solo traveler, with the children's cheers adding to the fun. They are so talented!!
Kouri Island:
I only visited the beach and the roadside station for souvenirs, so I was disappointed that I couldn't go to Heart Rock Tower. The bridge leading to Kouri Island is beautiful no matter when you visit.
Chatan American Village:
It's Christmas Town all year round. The delicious food left me not only in a good mood but also completely satisfied. The sunset at the end was the best.
I appreciate the long bus journey, safe driving, and the support from the guide.

沖縄４回目の訪問で一人旅
コロナ禍でそろそろ限界、全国旅行給付もありバスはほぼ満席で盛況。
美ら海：
３匹いたジンベイザメが１匹になり大きな水槽がさみしそう(-_-;)
イルカショーのオキちゃん劇場はおひとりさまでも、子供の歓声もあり楽しめました。芸達者でいい！！
古宇利島：
ビーチ、道の駅でお土産のみで、ハートロックタワーに行けなかったのが残念。古宇利島へ続く一本橋は何時行っても素敵の一言
北谷アメリカンビレッチ：
一年中クリスマスタウン＊美味しいごはん、気分だけでなくお腹も大満足です。最後のサンセットは最高
長いバス旅、安全運転、ガイドさんのサポートに感謝です。

I was interested in the Valley of Gangala and participated in the tour. It was a great tour since it's quite difficult to access places like the Sefa Utaki without a rental car. The Valley of Gangala was explained thoroughly by the guide, and I really enjoyed the nature that you can't experience in the city. I was very satisfied!

ガンガーラの谷に興味があり参加させて頂きました。
なかなかレンタカーがないと斎場御嶽等には行きにくい場所だったので、とてもいいツアーでした。
ガンガーラ谷は、ガイドの方からしっかり説明頂いて、都会では体感出来ない自然を楽しめるツアーでかなり満足しました！

The aquarium took a long time to get to, so I felt a bit regretful that we didn't have enough time to explore. The guide not only provided sightseeing information but also shared insights about the current situation of the U.S. military bases and the feelings of the people of Okinawa, helping us understand the true nature of Okinawa. I found it very relatable and educational.

水族館は移動に時間がかかるので、その分、見学時間が足りなかったのが、少し心残りです。
ガイドさんは、単に観光案内だけでなく、米軍基地の現状や、沖縄の人たちの心情をしっかりとお話されて、沖縄の真の姿を理解させてくださいました。とても共感し、勉強になりました。

This time, I traveled without a car, but I wanted to go on a little trip before getting on the plane, so I chose this option. Two-thirds of the group chose Okinawa World. I chose the Gyokusendo Cave, and I enjoyed learning about Okinawa's nature and ancient stories. The guide was also very nice. At the beginning of the tour, we received a metal bottle filled with tea. I thought it was heavy and unnecessary, but since we walked quite a bit, my water supply might not have been enough. However, I wish they had informed us that the bottles would be distributed before getting off the bus.

Unfortunately, the bus seatbelt was broken, and there was trash in the seat, which is why I rated it ★-1. We arrived at the airport a little before 1 PM.

今回は車なしで旅行しましたが、飛行機に乗る前に少しだけ遠出したいなと思い選びました。2/3の方は沖縄ワールドを選ばれていました。
私はガンガラーの谷を選び、沖縄の自然や太古の話を知れて楽しかったです。ガイドさんもとてもよい方でした。ツアーの最初にお茶が入った金属のボトルをいただきます。重いのにいらないよーと思いましたが、それなりに歩いたので、手持ちの水だけでは足りなかったかもしれません。ただバスを降りる前にボトルが配られることを教えてほしかったなと思いました。
残念だったのは、バスのシートベルトが壊れていたことと、座席にゴミがあったことです。このため★-1としました。
13時少し前には空港に到着しました。

We had a fun departure with the veteran guide's lively talk!

We enjoyed the Okinawa vibe on a remote island accessible by bus, and then headed to the main attraction, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There was plenty of time allocated, so we could leisurely enjoy the aquarium without rushing, and we also got to visit facilities that are not easily accessible on our own, which greatly increased our satisfaction! Additionally, it was more affordable than going individually, making it a great value for money.

ベテランガイドさんの軽快なトークで楽しく出発！

バスで行ける離島で沖縄気分を満喫し、
メインの美ら海水族館へ。
たっぷり時間を設けていただけるので、慌てることなくゆっくり水族館を楽しみ、個人ではなかなか行かないような施設にもよっていただけるので
満足度高いです！
また個人で行くよりもリーズナブルに行けたのでコスパいいです。

It was a very efficient tour where we could visit many highlights in just one day, starting with the Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Kouri Island and American Village.

Additionally, our guide even showcased Okinawan folk songs and played the sanshin, allowing us to enjoy a fun time on the bus.

(On the bus, announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Korean, which made it reassuring for international visitors.)

Next time I go to Okinawa, I would love to take a bus tour again.

「美ら海水族館」をはじめ、「古宇利島」や「アメリカンビレッジ」など、見どころ満載なところを1日で見て回ることができる、非常に効率的なツアーでした。

また、ガイドさんが沖縄の民謡や三線の演奏まで披露して下さったので、バスの中でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

(バスの中では、英語・中国語・韓国語のアナウンスも流れていて、海外の人でも安心できます)

今度、沖縄に行ったらまたバスツアーで観光したいです。

It was a weekday, but everywhere was crowded, making it difficult to take our time exploring within the tour schedule. I was too concerned about the meeting time, and there were many people... so I felt like we had little free time. However, I enjoyed it because we were taken to many sightseeing spots.

平日でしたがどこも混み合ってて、ツアーの時間内ではゆっくり観て回るのはのは難しいですね。集合時間が気になり過ぎて人も多く…自由時間は少なかったかなと？
ですが、沢山観光地など連れて行っていただいたので楽しめました。

I'm glad I was able to visit several tourist attractions even without a car! At American Village, I think it would be difficult to take photos and leisurely enjoy meals or shopping at the same time. As for the Churaumi Aquarium, it depends on the person, but I felt it was just the right amount of time. I did have to hurry a bit, but I enjoyed the large tank, other exhibits, and the dolphin show. I recommend it!

車を持っていなくても、いくつかの観光名所を回れて良かったです！！
アメリカンヴィレッジは写真を撮っていたらご飯とか買い物をゆっくりすることは難しいと思います。美ら海水族館は人にもよるとは思いますが、ちょうど良い時間で少し急ぎはしましたが、大水槽やほかのコーナー、イルカショーも楽しめました。
おすすめです。

I visited the Okinawa World for the second time, and I was able to enjoy it enough in a short amount of time.

It was great that the guide shared interesting trivia during the bus ride there.

斎場御獄も沖縄ワールド2回目でしたが、短い時間で十分楽しめました。

行きのバスでガイドさんがずっと豆知識を話してたのが良かったです。

The guide was experienced and knowledgeable about everything; I wanted to spend more time with them! I definitely want to use this service again next time!

ガイドさんが、ベテランで何でもご存じで、まだ沢山ご一緒したかったです！
次回も是非利用したいと思いました！

We used this service on the last day of our trip to Okinawa. Since our return flight was at 3 PM, we were taken to the airport, making for a meaningful final day. I think we wouldn't have been able to move around much while being mindful of the time in a place we weren't familiar with. It was great to hear the guide's explanations about Okinawa as well.

沖縄旅行の最終日に利用しました。帰りの飛行機が15時だったので、空港まで送ってもらい、有意義な最終日となりました。
自分達では知らない土地で時間を気にしながら、そんなに動けなかったと思います。
ガイドさんの沖縄の説明も聞けて、よかったです。

I visited Sefa Utaki and Okinawa World. The guide's stories were enjoyable, and it seems like I can share some great Okinawa tales even after returning from the trip. Thank you to the driver for safe driving.

斎場御獄とおきなわワールド行きました。
ガイドさんのお話も楽しく、旅行から帰ってもいい沖縄話しができそうです。運転手さんも安全運転ありがとうございました。

Since I was traveling alone, I requested this. I had a rental car, but since it was a solo trip, I chose to go for "ease." I was able to enjoy a full day with an itinerary that included all the places I wanted to visit. I would like to participate again.

ひとり参加だったので こちらにお願いしました。レンタカーもあったのですが 一人旅だったので「楽」を選びました。私が行きたい所が全て入ってるOPで1日楽しむ事が出来ました。また参加したいと思います。

I participated with my child! I'm sure we wouldn't have been able to visit so many spots in just one day if we had rented a car! I'm very satisfied! Thank you!

子供と参加させていただきました！
きっとレンタカーだと1日でこんなにたくさんのスポットを回ることはできなかったと思います！大満足です！ありがとうございました！

I thought this was the best tour for those who do not have a car in Okinawa, considering the time aspect as well. Since it is a World Heritage tour, the guide's explanations were very helpful.

沖縄で車を持っていない人には、時間的なことを含めて、最適なツアーと思いました。
世界遺産のツアーなので、添乗員さんの説明もとても参考になりました。

Manza Beach → Nago Pineapple Park → Kouri Island → Warumi Bridge → Churaumi Aquarium → Okashi Goten. The price including the entrance ticket was incredibly reasonable. The light snacks provided were delicious as well. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to stay at Churaumi Aquarium for another 30 minutes (laughs). The comfortable bus ride and the guide's explanations were easy to understand and very informative. I want to recommend this to my friends and acquaintances, and if I have the chance to go again, I will definitely use this service.

万座毛→名護パイナップルパーク→古宇利島→ワルミ大橋→
美ら海水族館→御菓子御殿と巡っていただき入園券込みで
この金額はお得すぎました。軽食まで出てなおかつ美味しかったですし。
欲を言えば美ら海水族館にあと30分は居たかった(笑)
快適なバスの乗り心地とガイドさんの説明は聞きやすくためになりました。
友達や知り合いにオススメしたいしまた行く機会があればぜひ利用します。
