All Reviews for Bus Tours

I participated in a bus tour and arrived at Seifa Utaki earlier than scheduled. During the waiting time, I was able to stroll around Chita Peninsula Park. The weather was nice, and Kudaka Island looked beautiful.

The guide's explanations and the handmade picture story were great. After visiting Utaki, I bought some sata andagi.

At Okinawa World, the limestone cave was impressively long. But the highlight was the Eisa performance, where five women took turns dancing for 30 minutes. They jumped while playing drums and lifted their legs high; it was amazing. If you check the Eisa schedule and prioritize watching it, you'll have a lot of fun.

There were also coupon discounts, which made it relatively easy to enjoy the less accessible Nanjo.

バスツアー参加、当日予定よりも早くせーふぁ御嶽に着いて、待ち時間、知多岬公園を散策できた。天気も良く久高島が綺麗に見えた。

ガイドさんの解説も手作り紙芝居もあり、良かった。御嶽見学後、サータアンダーギを買って摘んだ。

沖縄ワールドでは、鍾乳洞が長くすごかった。でも一番良かったのは、エイサー、女性5人が入れ変わり立ち代わり30分、動き回る。太鼓を叩きながらジャンプしたり足を高く上げたり、凄かった。エイサーの時間確認して優先して見ると楽しいです。

クーポン割引もあり、比較的行きにくい南城をうまく楽しめました。

The area is not very convenient for transportation, so it's recommended for efficient sightseeing. The outdoor attractions were blessed with good weather, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. I purchased freshly harvested sea grapes (fresh and inexpensive), and the cold draft beer was the best.

For lunch, I chose a personal order and enjoyed the cold noodles made with purple sweet potato (the purple sweet potato tempura was crispy and freshly fried). The "Churaumi Aquarium" met my expectations.

The Ocean Expo Park is vast, but due to the impact of COVID-19, there were few tourists, and I had plenty of time, so I also enjoyed the Tropical Dream Center, Okinawa Village, Ocean Culture Museum, and Emerald Beach (I walked quite fast, but I personally recommend the Tropical Dream Center).

After a sudden rain shower, we arrived at Pineapple Park. The indoor tour was problem-free, and I enjoyed drinking pineapple sparkling wine, resting with juice tastings and sweet samples, and taking photos with the dinosaur in the botanical garden.

Since I was staying in the beach resort area, it was easy to get off the bus first on the way back. During the bus ride, hand sanitization was mandatory, and masks were required. Depending on the facility, hand sanitization and temperature checks were thorough, and bus seating was assigned to avoid crowding.

交通手段が不便な地域の観光なので、効率よく回れてお勧めです。
外の観光は、天気にも恵まれて、美しい海の景観を堪能しました。
朝採り海ぶどうを購入(新鮮で安価）、冷たい生ビールが最高でした。
お昼は個人で自由オーダーを選び、紅芋の冷麺（紅芋の天ぷらは、カラッと揚げたて）を美味しく頂きました。　
「美ら海水族館」は期待通り。
海洋博公園内は広大ですが、コロナの影響で観光客も少なく、時間の余裕もあったので、熱帯ドリームセンター・おきなわ郷土村・海洋文化館・エメラルドビーチも楽しみました。（かなり早歩きでしたが・・・熱帯ドリームセンターは、個人的にお勧めです）
夕立があり、パイナップルパークに到着。屋内見学で問題なく、パイナップルスパーリングワインを飲み、試飲のジュースや試食スィーツで疲れを休め、植物園のダイナソーと写真を撮って楽しみました。
　ビーチリゾート地区に宿泊していたので、帰りは最初に降車で、楽でした。
バス乗車時は、必ず手の消毒。アスク着用。施設により、手の消毒と検温が徹底、バスの座席も、密を避けて座席指定をされていました。
　

I visited Northern Okinawa for sightseeing. Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were only three of us, but I am grateful for the guide's hard work. Please keep it up!

沖縄北部観光でした〜〜コロナの影響で3人と大変少ない人数でしたが、ガイドさんは一生懸命やって頂き感謝しています。これからも頑張ってくださいね。

The souvenir shops along the way usually have many samples, but due to COVID-19, there are hardly any. The aquarium has also canceled all events. Well, on the bright side, you can enjoy watching the fish slowly without the crowds.

途中の土産物屋は試食が多い店だがコロナの影響でほとんど無し。
水族館もイベントはすべて中止。まぁ密にならず魚をゆっくり見ることが出来るのでその点は良い。

I use this tour every time I go to Okinawa because it allows for a comprehensive sightseeing experience. The variety of attractions keeps it enjoyable without getting boring. It's convenient since they provide bus transportation, so I don't have to rent a car. I highly recommend this tour.

一通りの観光が出来るので、
沖縄に行くたびにこのツアーを利用しています。
観光場所が充実しているので飽きる事なく楽しめます。
レンタカーを借りなくてもバスで案内して頂けるので気楽に行けるので重宝してます、
オススメツアーです。

On the last day in Okinawa, I was wondering where to go until my flight time, and I found this plan that included the limestone cave I wanted to visit, so I made a reservation.
I had a great time at Okinawa World, enjoying the Gyokusendo Cave, an Eisa performance, and taking photos in traditional costumes.
The bus was spacious, and the guide was very cheerful, a great singer, and kind. The price was reasonable, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was a very satisfying tour.
I highly recommend it!

沖縄最終日、飛行機の時間までどこへ行こうか悩んでいたところ、行きたかった鍾乳洞がコースに含まれているこのプランを見つけ予約しました。
玉泉洞、エイサーのパフォーマンス、伝統衣装を着ての写真撮影など、おきなわワールドで楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
バスもゆったりしていて、ガイドさんもとても明るく歌が上手で親切な方でした。お値段もお手頃で時間を有効に使えたので大満足のツアー。
とてもオススメです！

I was able to visit many places I wanted to see in Okinawa for the first time, and it was great that the seating was spaced out due to COVID-19 measures. I think it's a good deal to be able to go around for a day with meals included at this price.

初めての沖縄で行ってみたかった所にたくさん行け、コロナ対策で席の間隔も空いており良かったです。ご飯付きで一日回れてこの価格はお得だと思います。

It's helpful that we can tour efficiently. Traveling individually can be tough, right? I highly recommend it. Disinfection was thorough. The pace was a bit fast, but the guide's fun commentary and singing kept it from being boring. I was very happy to meet the guide I had last time.

効率良く観光が出来るので助かります。
個人で観光するのは大変ですよね。お勧めです。
消毒はしっかりとされていました。
少しペースは早いですが、ガイドさんの楽しい案内、歌で退屈しませんでした。
前回お世話になったガイドさんにお会いし、とても嬉しかったです。

It was lonely because there were few people due to the impact of COVID-19, but I had a great time with safe driving and proper explanations. I would like to use this service again.

コロナの影響で人は少なくて寂しかったですが、

安全な運転、適切な説明、すごく良い時間を過ごしました。

また、利用したいと思います。

I wanted to make the most of my half day upon arriving in Okinawa, so I participated in this tour. It was my first time at the Gangala Valley, and I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. I had a wonderful experience entering the caves with a lantern! Although it was July, it wasn't too hot because of the lush trees around, and I appreciated that they lent us insect repellent spray and prepared Sanpin tea for us. I felt reassured as the bus and tourist spots seemed to have solid COVID-19 measures in place. The guide, Bise, at Gangala Valley shared some great stories.

沖縄到着の日の半日を有効に使いたいと思い参加しました。
初めてのガンガラーの谷でしたが、壮大な自然に圧倒され、ランタンを持って洞窟に入ったりと素敵な体験をさせてもらいました！
７月でしたが、木々が生い茂っている中なので、そこまで暑くはなく、虫除けスプレーを貸してくれたりサンピン茶を準備してくださったりと、助かりました。
バスの中や観光先もコロナ対策がしっかりとされている印象で安心できました！
ガンガラーの谷でのガイドのビセさんのお話とても良かったです。

It was very nice and spacious. However, I think it's better to have a clear purpose for your stay at Nago Pineapple Park, even if your visit is short.

空いていてとても良かった。
ただ、名護パイナップルパークは滞在が短くてもいいし、滞在する目的を明確にした方がいいと思います。

It was a tour during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the seating arrangement and alcohol disinfection measures were well considered, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. We had plenty of time at the Churaumi Aquarium, which was great. However, the last stop, Pineapple Park, was not what I expected. Is it a place to enjoy a botanical garden? There were several souvenir shops, and I was worried about not finding the exit and being late for the meeting time. I was hoping to eat delicious, freshly picked pineapples at Pineapple Park, but I was disappointed by the unclear layout. Other than that, everything was enjoyable, the guide's stories were interesting, and it turned out to be a fulfilling day with safe driving.

コロナ禍でのツアーでしたが、座席配列やアルコール消毒に配慮されていて、安心して楽しめました。美ら海水族館もたっぷり時間があり、よかったです。ただ、最後のパイナップルパークが、思っていたものではありませんでした。植物園を楽しむ場所でしょうか？お土産もの屋さんが何軒もあり、出口が分からず、集合時間に遅れるかと、不安になってしまいました。パイナップルパークでは、美味しい獲れたてのパイナップルが食べれるかと期待していたのですが、よく分からない作りにガッカリしました。あとは、どこも楽しく、ガイドさんのお話しも面白く、安全運転で、充実した1日になりました。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, and since I thought driving a rental car would be tiring, I decided to join a tour.

We were picked up in front of the prefectural office, and there were four participants on the trip. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be cloudy, and I was satisfied that we could visit the places we wanted to go.

The bridge to Kouri Island must have been really beautiful if the weather had been nice. Maybe I'll try again for a revenge trip!

美ら海水族館に行きたくて、レンタカーだと気疲れしそうだったので、ツアーに参加する事にしました。

県庁前ピックアップ、参加者4人の旅でした。
天気が心配だったけど、なんとか曇り空で、
行きたいところいけて、満足しました。

古宇利島の橋は、天気が良ければむっちゃ綺麗だったんだろうな。
またリベンジするか！

I participated in a popular tour that covers tourist spots in the northern region. There are often cases where the distance from the parking lot to the facilities is considerable, so it's necessary to take measures against the heat.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dolphin shows and manatee learning experiences at the Churaumi Aquarium have been canceled, and the shows at Ryukyu Village were shortened in both time and content, so I recommend checking their website in advance.

However, all facilities have implemented thorough infection prevention measures, including temperature checks and alcohol disinfection (including awamori disinfection) upon entry, and we were able to enjoy sightseeing and meals while maintaining social distance. The buses also ensured disinfection upon boarding, which made me feel safe participating.

北部の観光地を網羅している人気のツアーに参加しました。駐車場から施設までの距離があったりするケースが多く暑さ対策必要です。
コロナ禍で美ら海水族館のイルカショーやマナティ学習体験などは中止されており、琉球村のショーは時間も内容も短縮されていたので、事前にHPで確認するのをお勧めします。
ただどの施設も感染予防対策が徹底されており、入館時は検温、アルコール消毒(泡盛消毒も)あり、ソーシャルディスタンスで見学や食事を楽しむことが出来ました。バスも乗車時にも必ず消毒していたので安心して参加出来ました。

I was worried about my feet when it rained, but I had a great time! The explanations were very interesting and engaging! The sanpincha was also appreciated!

雨が降ると足元が心配ですが、とても楽しかった！説明もとても興味深く聞き応えがありました！さんぴんちゃも有り難かったです！

The sea was beautiful, and the whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were impressive and great. The tour guide was also entertaining.

海もキレイだったし、美ら海水族館のジンベエサメも迫力があって良かったです。
添乗員の方も面白かったです。

Due to heavy rain, we couldn't enter Shurijo Castle, which we arrived at by 9:00. As a result, we got to Okinawa World early and were able to enjoy the Eisa show starting at 10:30, as well as various experiences like the cave exploration and dressing up! Even if you can visit Shurijo Castle, I recommend watching the Eisa show first at Okinawa World before the cave exploration!

大雨で9:00に着いた斎場御嶽は入場出来ませんでした。そのためおきなわワールドに早く着きましたが10:30からのエイサーショーも見られて玉泉洞も着付け体験も色々楽しめました❗️斎場御嶽に行けてもおきなわワールドでは鍾乳洞よりエイサーショーを先に見るのをオススメします❗️

I only went to courses that included the Churaumi Aquarium...
I plan to buy souvenirs on the last day of the trip or at the airport...
I didn't intend to shop, so I had a plan without lunch, but I decided to order lunch at the last minute.
It would be nice if there were courses that go to less mainstream, hidden spots.

美ら海水族館に行くコースばっかり…
お土産は旅行の最後の日か空港で買うから…
買い物する気が無かったので昼食無しのプランだったが､急遽昼食を頼むことにした。
もっとメジャーでは無く穴場的な所に行くコースがあればいい。

The guide was very kind. I am a foreigner, and I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. I also received souvenirs, and it was a really enjoyable trip.

ガイドさん　優しかったです。私は外国人なんですが、お気遣い本当にありがとうございました。お土産もいただいてますし、すごく楽しい旅行でした。

Since it's a tourist spot, I underestimated it and participated in heel sandals, but it turned out to be more of an adventure than I expected. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had worn shoes that were less slippery and easier to walk in. Everything else was great!

観光スポットなので、甘くみてヒールのサンダルで参加してしまいましたが、思った以上にアドベンチャーでした。滑りずらく歩き安い靴を履いていたら、更に楽しめたと思います。それ以外は最高でしたした！

I think it's a fulfilling plan that allows you to visit various places in one day at a low price. The cool bus rides were comfortable.

一日かけて移動して色んなところに行けて価格も安いので充実したプランだと思います。
涼しいバス移動が快適でした。

Following my visit to Okinawa in November 2018 (two months ago), I experienced my first New Year's celebration in Okinawa and participated in my first island sightseeing bus tour. Although I have visited these places many times by rental car, traveling by bus allowed for a leisurely pace. I highly recommend this tour as it covers many attractions in one day, including Kouri Island, the Churaumi Aquarium, Manza Beach, and Ryukyu Village.

2018年11月（2ヵ月前）の訪問に続いての沖縄訪問。沖縄で初めての年越しで、初めての島内観光バスツアーに参加しました。レンタカーで幾度となく訪問した場所ですが、バスでゆっくりと移動でき、一日で古宇利島、美ら海水族館、万座毛、琉球村などなど、訪問できるのでお勧めです。

Kouri Island
- The stay felt a bit short.

Okashi Goten
- It might be related to the bag margin, but it was a waste of time.

Manzamo
- The facilities were under construction, which was a bit disappointing.

Bus guide
- Very kind and good.

古宇利島
・滞在時間が、少し短く感じた。
御菓子御殿
・バッグマージンの関係もあるかもしれないが、時間の無駄。
万座毛
・施設が工事中で、少しガッカリ。
バスガイド
・大変親切で良かった。

It was the best tour. I can understand why it's so popular.

There were places that I might have overlooked if I were traveling on my own, but thanks to the bus guide's explanations, I realized many things and had a very meaningful and enriching day.

Adding this to your travel itinerary is definitely a good idea. I highly recommend it.

最高のツアーでした。人気なのも、頷けます。

個人で旅行すると見落としそうな場所等々、バスガイドさんの説明により、なるほどなーとか、いろんなことに気付かされて、とっても有意義な、中身の濃い１日を過ごせました。

旅の中の１日に加えるのは、アリです。
ぜひ、オススメします。

Due to the current circumstances, the Churaumi Aquarium had fewer events, but that allowed for a more relaxed visit. It was also great to experience the culture at Ryukyu Village.

Above all, the bus guide was fantastic. They shared Okinawan culture, songs, and dances, making the tour enjoyable!

時世により、美ら海水族館はイベントも少なかったのですが、その分ゆったり見ることができました。琉球村も文化に触れて良かったでした。
なんと言ってもバスガイドさんが最高でした。沖縄の文化や歌、踊りも披露頂き、ツアーに参加して楽しかった！

It was a tour full of highlights. The explanations and performances by the versatile guide about Okinawa were very enjoyable and offered great value for money. I also thoroughly enjoyed the various Okinawan dishes that were introduced to me after the tour!

見どころ満載のツアーでした。コスパ良く多才なガイドさんの沖縄の説明やパフォーマンス等、とても楽しかったです。ご紹介して下さった数々の沖縄料理もツアーの後、堪能しました！

The cost performance is excellent.
I had a course that included Kouri Island, Okashi Goten, Manzamo, and American Village, but since we didn't reach the minimum number of participants (due to the impact of COVID-19), the course was slightly different. However, there was an introduction to the Ryukyu Village course, and I participated after changing the slide. The bus was very nice, and both the guide and the driver were experienced, which made me feel safe and relaxed. It was a long journey, but it was great that there were few people and we could see everything efficiently. I think it's a recommended tour. I really enjoyed it.

コスパ良すぎです。
古宇利島・御菓子御殿・万座毛・アメリカンビレッジのコースでしたが最小催行人員に届かなかったので（コロナ感染の影響より）コースが少し違うこととなりましたが琉球村のコースで紹介がありスライド変更し参加しました。バスも非常に良いバスだったしガイド、運転手さんもベテランの方で安心してゆったり寛げました。長時間の長旅でしたが人が少なく効率よく見れたのも良かったです。お勧めツアーだと思います。満喫できました。

Despite the spread of COVID-19, the tour had fewer passengers, which allowed us to enjoy it even more. At Okinawa World, it felt like a condensed experience of Okinawa, and I had a great time exploring. The Eisa dance, especially performed by women, was surprisingly intense. Gyokusendo Cave is mystical. As for the Sefa Utaki, I apologize, but it didn't impress me as much, even though it has historical significance. I found Chinen Cape to be more resonant. It's just a short walk, so there's time to see it before the bus schedule. The bus guide kept us engaged with quizzes and interesting stories, so we never felt bored. Since we had a flight to the outer islands in the afternoon, the morning sightseeing was perfect. I was very satisfied.

コロナ感染が広がりつつある中での観光ツアーで乗客は少なく却って満喫できました。おきなわワールドでは沖縄が凝縮している感じで楽しく拝見できました。特にエイサー踊りは女性であのような激しい舞がと驚きがありました。玉泉洞は神秘的です。斎場御嶽はすみません。歴史があるのでしょうがそれほどではでした。それよりは知念岬の方が心に響きました。歩いて少しなのでバスの時間までに見る余地あります。バスガイドさんがクイズや為になる話をされ退屈しませんでした。午後から飛行機で離島だったので最後の午前観光には持ってこいでした。満足しました。

Since I couldn't use a rental car, I opted for a bus tour. It was efficient and turned out to be a fun day. I recommend this tour for those without a driver's license.

レンタカーの利用が出来なかったので、バスツアーを利用しました。効率よくまわれ、楽しい1日になりました。免許のない方にはおすすめツアーです

The bus was spacious, and I could stretch my legs, which was great. The lunch was delicious too. At the roadside station Itoman, there were many seafood dishes available, and I was very satisfied to be able to eat them on the spot. The bus guide provided thorough explanations, and I think it was the best tour.

バスが広くて、足も伸ばせて最高でした。
昼食も美味しかったです。道の駅いとまんでは、たくさん海鮮料理なども売っておりその場で食べれたので大満足でした。バスガイドさんもしっかり説明してくださり、１番良いツアーだと思いました。
