All Reviews for Bus Tours

It's understandable that various facilities are closed due to COVID-19 measures, but the issue was the bus guide. The incomprehensible Japanese they spoke was extremely grating and exhausting. If they want to work as a guide, I hope they study Japanese properly. The organization from start to finish was poor, and I was really tired.

コロナ対策の為色々な施設が閉まってるのは仕方ない事ですが、問題はバスガイドさんです。意味不明な日本語を永遠に話すので物凄く耳障りかつしんどかったです。ガイドを仕事にするなら日本語をしっかり勉強して欲しいです。最初から最後まで段取りも悪く本当に疲れました。

The purpose was to go to the aquarium, but we were able to efficiently visit various places by bus. The guide's explanations were easy to understand, it was comfortable, and I had a lot of fun throughout the day!

水族館に行くことが目的でしたが、バスでいろいろな場所を効率的にまわれました。添乗員さんの説明もわかりやすく、楽だし、1日とても楽しめました！

I was looking for a good way to explore Okinawa without renting a car and came across this tour. It's recommended because you can visit hard-to-reach places in a short amount of time. (Depending on your flight,) you can even use it on your last day of stay. The atmosphere at Sefa Utaki was particularly sacred and really wonderful.

レンタカーを借りずに沖縄観光をする良い手段がないかと思い、
ツアーを探していたところ、このツアーを発見しました。
個人では回りにくい場所を短時間で回れるため、オススメです。
(フライトにもよりますが、)滞在最終日にも利用出来ます。
特に斎場御嶽が神聖な雰囲気で凄く良かったです。

I was looking for a good way to explore Okinawa without renting a car, and I discovered this tour. It efficiently covers the main sightseeing spots in Okinawa in one day, and I am very satisfied.

This bus tour was a fun and convenient way to see parts of Okinawa we couldn’t reach without a car. It picked us up right at the hotel, and then we were just along for the ride!

The guide did not speak English (as we knew), but she was very friendly and tried her best to help us. The audio guide was a bit mixed, but did provide some decent information.

We decided to pay the extra 1000 yen for lunch, and it was actually really good!

The aquarium was definitely the highlight, but the bridge was quite scenic and the pineapple park was very true to its name.

Some of the stops (Dinoland?!) were pretty surreal, but that’s part of the fun.

Driving from Naha in a rental car is a fun experience, but sometimes you just want to take a nap (dangerous!). It's nice to doze off while listening to the guide's explanations on familiar roads. I'm glad I was able to visit Kouri Island, which I've always wanted to see. Next time, I plan to stay in the northern part for the first time and would love to spend a bit more time on Kouri Island. This trip has also given me new ideas for my future travels in Okinawa. The pickled island shallots I bought at the roadside station on Kouri Island were incredibly delicious, and I'm glad I decided to get them. The guide casually recommended local specialties, like the fresh seaweed that’s only available this season, saying, "My favorite is..." which was really nice. Since I was traveling alone, I appreciated having someone to discuss what’s good and what to try. Thank you to the beautiful, serious, and kind guide.

那覇からレンタカーで運転していくと、楽しいドライブではありますが、
たまには居眠りしたい（危！）ですよね。
ガイドさんの解説を聞きながら、何回か通った道をうとうとしながら行くのも気楽でいいものです。
行ってみたかった古宇利島に行けて良かった。次回は北部に初めて滞在して
今度は古宇利島にもう少しゆっくり居たいなとか、新たな沖縄旅の参考にもなります。古宇利島の道の駅で買った島ラッキョウの浅漬けがすごく美味しくて
買ってみてよかった。ガイドさんが「私のお気に入りは・・・」と言って特産品をさりげなく、今の季節しかない生のあーさなどお勧めしてくれたのがとても良かったです。一人参加でしたので、あれがいいこれがいいと話合う相手がいないので、有難かったです。美人でまじめで優しいガイドさんありがとう。

Enjoyed day trip. Not enough time to see dolphine show.

Using Google Maps it was easy to find the meeting spot. Once we arrived we could easily see the buses parked out front by the sidewalk. While the tour guide and bus driver did not speak English, it was not a problem at all! Our tour guide was very kind, courteous and made sure that we understood where and what time we needed to be back at the bus and the bus was equipped with English audio which provided us with interesting information about the area as we rode from place to place. Just before the stop at Okashi Goten the tour guide will ask you if you would like to preorder a set lunch (Okinawa style soba with pork, I believe.) I was traveling with a vegetarian friend so we did not choose to preorder. Once we arrived we had plenty of time (40-45 min) to have our own lunch at the restaurant across the street because they were not too crowded or busy. If you are traveling with children or a large group, you may want to choose the preorder option as it will be ready and waiting for you when you arrive.
Can't say enough about the Churaumi Aquarium! Could easily see how you could spend an entire day here. I didn't choose to watch the Dolphin Show, but if you do, just know that the show starts @3pm and you need to be back to the bus by 3:30-3:35. Plan accordingly because it is at least a 10-15 min walk from there back to the bus area.
The last stop of the tour is Nago Pineapple Park. I knew that this tour did not include the fee for the Pineapple cart, but thought I would be able view the plantation on my own. That was not the case. With this particular tour you will NOT be able to view the pineapple plantations or the museum as stated in the "write up." You will be given a shopping only pass and ushered into the shopping area. If the Pineapple Park is on your "to do" list then choose one of the other tour options. While the Pineapple Park portion of this particular tour was a disappointment, I still think it is a great tour for the price!

It was a really fun tour.

The driver was very accommodating and drove safely, but what was even more wonderful was our bus guide, Tsunami. With a gentle tone, she explained about Okinawa and the tourist spots in a very easy-to-understand way, and there was even a singing service, making the day fly by.

When visiting tourist spots individually, it often feels like just looking around, but with explanations, it becomes a memorable experience filled with interest. Being mistaken for a local was also amusing and made for a great memory.

It turned out to be the best trip to Okinawa. The fun was doubled! I highly recommend it!

本当に楽しいツアーでした

運転手さんもとても対応がよく安全運転で言うこと無しですが、それ以上に素晴らしかったのはバスガイドの津波さん
優しい口調で沖縄のこと、観光地のこと
とてもわかりやすく、そして歌のサービスもあり１日があっという間に終わってしまいました
個人で観光地に行くと、何となく見て終わることが多いものですが、説明付きだと興味津々で訪れるため印象深いものになります
現地の人に間違えられたことも、面白くて楽しくて良い思い出になりました
最高の沖縄の旅になりました
楽しさ倍増です
絶対オススメですよ〜

The trip was nice and there were quite many stops during the day. Stops were quite short but it was ok because there wasn't that much to see. First hour went collecting people to bus from different stops. Tour guide spoke only japanese but she was really nice. In bus there was english audiotape to inform about the route and sightseeings. All entry fees were included in the tour price.

Tour voucher said a light meal would include the tour but we only got a biscuit and ice cream and we needed to pay a proper lunch.

All other stops were nice except the pineapple farm was quite a disappointment. Only good thing there was pineapple wine and juice tastings.

All in all the trip was not bad but not really good either. It was nice way to spent a day. But I'd recommed to rent a car and drive the route on your own. But if you don't have a chance to rent a car this tour is good way to see the island because public transport is not that easy in Okinawa.

This time, I chose this tour so that my friend, who participated in an Okinawa trip for the first time, could experience more of Okinawa. It was a very affordable bus tour that allowed us to explore both the northern and central parts of Okinawa, and my friend was very happy.

今回、初めて沖縄旅行に参加した友人の為に、より多くの沖縄を感じてもらえるようにこのツアーを選びました。
沖縄の北部と中部を一緒に回れるとてもお得なバスツアーで、友人も大喜びでした。

We participated in this bus tour as a family trip since our youngest child will become a working adult this spring. I recommend it because it efficiently covers various sightseeing spots in Okinawa, but I wish we could have spent a bit more time on Kouri Island! It was the place where I felt the most Okinawan sea. I felt a bit rushed at the other spots, so it would have been nice to have a little more time. The bus guide, who introduced us to Okinawa's history and provided sightseeing information, had a gentle and soothing Okinawan accent that was very comforting and healing throughout the trip. I would like to join another bus tour in a different area when I visit Okinawa again.

下の子供が春から社会人というタイミングの家族旅行でこのバスツアーに参加。沖縄のエリア別観光スポットを効率よく回れるのでおすすめですが、古宇利島はもう少しゆっくり滞在時間が欲しかった！このコース内で一番沖縄らしい海を感じた場所でしたから。美ら海水族館以外のスポットの滞在時間に少し忙しなさを感じたのでもう少し余裕があると良いなぁと感じました。当日、観光案内、沖縄の歴史の紹介をして下さったバスガイドさんの、沖縄なまりの優し〜い穏やかな口調が心地良く、終始癒されました。また沖縄に行った際には別のエリアのバスツアーに参加したいです。

The weather was nice, and I was satisfied with everything at Kouri Island, Manza Beach, and the Tropical Dream Center. The last time I went to Manza Beach, the weather wasn't good, and it was windy, so it wasn't great, but this time the sea was beautiful and the view was wonderful. It was a pity that the stay at Kouri Island and Manza Beach was only 20 minutes. At the Tropical Dream Center, we had 150 minutes, so after spending about an hour there, we also went to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. The orchids at the Tropical Dream Center were very beautiful. If I have the opportunity, I would like to come again.

天気も良く、古宇利島、万座毛、熱帯ドリームセンター、どこも満足でした。前回、万座毛に初めて行った時は、天気が良くなく、風が強くて、今ひとつでしたが、今回は、海も綺麗で素晴らしい眺めでした。古宇利島や万座毛は滞在時間が20分と短いのが残念でした。熱帯ドリームセンターでは滞在時間が150分だったので、1時間程、熱帯ドリームセンターを見学してから、美ら海水族館にも出かけました。熱帯ドリームセンターでは蘭の花がとても綺麗でした。また、機会があれば、また来たいと思います。

We arrived more than an hour earlier than the scheduled arrival time, and if we were going to disband this early, I wish they had adjusted the timing properly. I couldn't experience anything at Ryukyu Village. I'm really disappointed.

最終到着予定時間より１時間以上、早くつき、
こんなに早く解散になるんだったら、ちゃんと時間調整してほしかった。琉球村では体験できなかった。
すごい残念です。

I participated alone this time, but the driver and guide were very pleasant, and the weather was nice, so I was able to have a great time. I enjoyed the Churaumi Aquarium enough in two and a half hours. I didn't have high expectations for Ryukyu Village, but the show held in the square was unexpectedly enjoyable. The relocated traditional houses were also impressive. The steakhouse I added as an option was fun with the performance right in front of me, and the food was delicious. Thank you very much.

今回は１人参加でしたが、運転者さん、ガイドさん、とても感じがよく、お天気もよかったので、楽しく過ごすことができました。美ら海水族館も2時間半で十分楽しめました。琉球村はそんなに期待していなかったのですが、広場で行われたショーが思いの外楽しかったです。そして、移築された古民家も見応えありました。オプションでつけたステーキハウスも、目の前でのパフォーマンスも楽しく、おいしくいただきました。ありがとうございました。

In the morning, while waiting for the bus in front of the prefectural office, there were some tourists from China, which was a bit confusing, but I quickly figured out when the bus arrived.

Perhaps due to the coronavirus, there were few participants, so I was able to use the seats comfortably. The journey to the aquarium was quite long, but once I arrived, I enjoyed it so much that I forgot about the passage of time. I wished I had about 30 more minutes, but considering the return trip, I thought it couldn't be helped.

On the way back, we stopped at a theme park introducing Ryukyu culture, but it was already late, so there were few visitors, which felt a bit lonely. If someone had told me about the highlights, I might have enjoyed it more. However, seeing the manta rays at the aquarium made me forget about everything else.

朝、県庁前でバスを待っていたら、中国のツアーの方がいて紛らわしかったのですが、バスの到着はすぐわかりました。
コロナウィルスのせいか参加者は少なく座席をゆったりと使えました。
水族館までは結構の道のりでしたふが、到着したら時間のたつのを忘れるほど
楽しめました。もう30分くらい余裕があればいいなと思いましたが、
帰りを考えるとしょうがないかなと思いました。
帰り道で琉球の文化を紹介しているテーマパークに寄ったのですが、すでに
遅い時間なので入場者も少なくて寂しかったです。見どころを教えていただければ楽しめたかもしれません。でも、水族館のマンタの雄姿が見れて他のことは忘れました。

I participated in the Ganagara Valley tour for the first time. It was a guided tour, and the guide's explanations were great, allowing us to explore this mystical place.

初めてガンガラーの谷ツアーに参加しました。
ガイドツアーですが、ガイドさんの案内も良く神秘的な場所を散策できました。

I think the best course for beginners in Okinawa is to visit the Churaumi Aquarium. It was my first time at the Okashi Goten.

美ら海水族館に行きたい沖縄初心者向けとしては、ベストなコースではないかと思います。
お菓子御殿は初めてでした。

I thought the guide on the bus was wonderful.
I was able to learn about Okinawan dances while traveling on the bus, and I enjoyed the events at Ryukyu Village.

I also received great recommendations for awamori, which I was able to bring back as souvenirs.

It was a lovely guide who made me want to meet again.

バスの中ガイドさんがとても素晴らしいと思いました
移動中のバスの中で沖縄の踊りを教えてもらえて
琉球村のイベントも楽しめました

おすすめの泡盛もしっかり教えてもらって
お土産にすることができました

またお会いしたいなぁと思わせてくれたステキなガイドさんでした

We had an amazing experience at the aquarium it is a long bus ride but there is a lot to see on the way there including the beautiful ocean once at the aquarium seeing the whale sharks was magnificent watching them feed the whale sharks was absolutely amazing and to think that they actually release them back into the ocean after they’re done studying them is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

I have read good reviews for this trip and just nice that we lucky to get the rebate ( 2 for 1) promo.. So we book the trip!!!

Meeting point : The pick up point is not clearly indicate .. We just know that is at the hotel.. We reached early and scare that we might miss the bus .. Lucky we ask the hotel lobby, yes is the correct place... I suggest that can take picture where is the pick up point and shown at booking page is the best.. Attendance was smooth and easy.. Puncture and fast.. The tour leader couldn't speak english .. But anyway we still OK ..

Lunch at the restaurant opp the sweet potato shop is great.. The udon is nice !

Everyplace given time is just nice except that I prefer the churaumi aquarium to have longer time..
The tour leader bring us to the entry , give us the tickets and also give clear instructions where is the meet up point .. I thk 150min is not enough because what if is elderly ? They have no enough time to look around .. And walk back the carpark is a super long distance for them ..

Pineapple park: it a just mini park wit shopping area .. Time spent here is just nice .. Those do not want shopping can go take pictures outside the shop ..

Overall : it is a good experience .. Those who do not drive can join this tour!!!
We will recommend this to my friends and families ...

This tour lasts half a day and provides transportation to Naha Airport around 1 PM, making it an excellent option for sightseeing during the time before your flight.

The tour uses a shared bus, and everyone first goes to the Sefa Utaki. After that, participants split at the Okinawa World parking lot, with some heading to Okinawa World and others to the Valley of Gangala. The meeting point is back at the Okinawa World parking lot, where you will be transported to the airport and other locations.

However, the bus tour does not include entrance fees for the attractions, so you will need to purchase tickets separately, which can be a bit of a hassle.

I went to the Valley of Gangala, and it was great to participate in this tour because you can only enter the Valley of Gangala with a guided tour, and they coordinate the departure times. Okinawa World was also fun, but the Valley of Gangala tour was incredibly enjoyable, and I’m very glad I participated.

　このツアーは、半日で終わり、およそ13時に那覇空港へと送迎してくれるものなので、空港から帰る時間を利用して観光するには、非常にもってこいのツアーだと思います。
　また、ツアーは混載バスで、最初は全員で斎場御嶽に行き、その後、おきなわワールドの駐車場で、おきなわワールドへ行く人と、ガンガラーの谷へ行く人に分かれます。そして、集合場所は、先ほど分かれた、おきなわワールドの駐車場に集合し、空港等へと送迎してもらうというスタイルです。
　ただ、バスツアーに観光地の入場料は入っていないために、別途入場料が必要で、個別にチケットを購入する手間があるのは少し面倒な所でした。
　今回私は、ガンガラーの谷へと行きましたが、ガンガラーの谷はガイドツアーではないと入場することができないことや、ツアーの出発時間も合わせてくれるために、このツアーに参加して非常に良かったです。おきなわワールドも楽しかったのですが、こちらのガンガラーの谷ツアーも非常に楽しく、参加して大正解でした。

I am satisfied both in terms of time and content.
I think the price is reasonable as well.
However, I wished the stay time at each destination could be a bit longer.
In that case, it would be better if the meeting time for the tour started a little earlier.

時間的にも内容的にも満足です。
価格的にも適正だと思います。
ただ訪問先の滞在時間が　それぞれもう少し長くあればいいなと思いました。
その分　ツアーの始まりの集合時間がもう少し早くもいいと思います。

The aquarium was a wonderful experience it’s just amazing to see whale sharks in captivity I hope they do catch and release like what I was told The aquarium by far was the best aquarium I have been to little bit of a long bus ride but the scenery along way spray nice all in all it was worth the adventure.

I was very pleased that I could efficiently see the southern part of Okinawa in half a day. The bus guide explained everything clearly, which made it enjoyable and easy to understand. By the way, the limestone cave, which I didn't have high expectations for, was impressive. It's definitely worth seeing.

沖縄の南部を効率よく半日で見る事ができたのでとても良かったです。バスのガイドさんもきちんと説明してくれたのでよくわかり楽しかったです。そうそうあまり期待していなかった鍾乳洞が感動的でした。これは必見の価値ありです。

We were able to efficiently visit various places, mainly the Churaumi Aquarium. I feel like we could make better use of our time compared to using a rental car. With the steak dinner plan, we got off the bus and enjoyed steak at Sam's Steakhouse. It was fun to watch the cooking performance right in front of us.

美ら海水族館メインに、効率よくいろいろ行けました。
レンタカーを使うより時間が有効に使える気がします。ステーキディナープランで、バスを降りてからステーキハウスサムズでステーキをいただきました。目の前で調理してくれパフォーマンスもあって楽しかったです。

You can visit the attractions you want just by paying for the bus charter fee. Additionally, a guide accompanies you and provides thorough sightseeing information. It's basically a free activity, but it was a fulfilling tour. By the way, my recommendation this time is the limestone cave. I was completely unprepared for it, so the experience was even more moving.

バスのチャ−タ−代金だけで行きたかった観光ができます。また、ガイドさんが付ききちんと観光案内までしてくれます。基本自由行動ですが充実感たっぷりのツアーでした。そうそう私の今回のおすすめは鍾乳洞です。全く期待していなかっただけに感動もひとしおでした。

The time allocation for the course and the options were great. I would like to use it again when I come back. Thank you very much.

コースの時間配分、選択といいよかったです。また来たときは利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I’m from Thailand and took this tour with my friend on February 3rd, my chose this tour because we didn’t have a car and saw this tour online with good reviews. On the day we took the tour it started right on time with friendly staff and comfortable ride on the bus. Everything on the schedule was accurate, only negative part was guide not able to speak English but was very helpful to make us comfortable. We love the experience will definitely come back again with friends and family to take this tour again.

We participated as a family of three (including a one-year-old child). I think it's easy to join since they pick you up from various hotels. The beach at Kouri Island was incredibly beautiful and left me in awe. However, there is limited free time, so we only had enough time to take some photos at the beach and look at a few souvenirs. Next time, I would like to visit Heart Rock and the tower as well.

At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time to explore at a leisurely pace, even with a child, and we were able to see the dolphin show. We also enjoyed visiting various major spots. Thank you!

家族3人（1歳の子供含む）で参加しました。いろんなホテルにお迎えに来てくれるので、参加しやすいと思います。古宇利島のビーチがとにかくキレイで感動しました。ただ自由時間が少ないのでビーチで写真を撮って、お土産を少し見るくらいしか時間がありません。次回はハートロックやタワーの方も行ってみたいです。
美ら海水族館は時間がたっぷりあるので、子連れでもゆっくり回れましたし、イルカのショーも見る事が出来ました。その他も主要スポットを色々回れて満喫出来ました。ありがとうございました！
