All Reviews for Okinawa Sightseeing Tours

This tour was great fun. The pineapple park wasn't a long visit but you could see some different types of pineapples growing take a stroll though the garden and enjoy sampling different types of drinks. The butterflies were very big and friendly and would land on people who stopped long enough to look at them. It makes everyone feel like a Disney princess. The aquarium is beautiful with a lot of information on sharks and had a good dolphin show and opportunities to feed the dolphins (if you find the hidden. Spot before it closes) they keep doing the dolphin show even when the weather was really bad. Lunch was provided at the butterfly place and it decent. A nice bowl of udon but not super filling.

There are many full-day sightseeing bus tours in Okinawa, but this tour is fantastic for those who want to enjoy half days (for example, if you plan to go parasailing in the afternoon and can't stray too far from Naha, you end up with free time in the morning).

Even if an amateur tries to plan a trip, it's nearly impossible to cover this much in that time. This tour efficiently takes you to the highlights, and the bus guide shares stories, providing historical context for each site. They also advise on how to move around to make the most of your time at each location.

I wondered how they could offer so much for this price!

Of course, this tour is also great for those who have time before their flight on the last day of their trip.

沖縄観光バスツアーで、終日時間をつかう一日観光はたくさん出ていますが、半日ずつ楽しみたい（たとえば、午後はパラセーリングするので那覇からあまり離れられないけど、すると午前が空いてしまう）などの時に、このツアーはめちゃくちゃいいです。

素人がプランをたててもこの時間でまわることはとてもできません。
効率よく名所をまわってくれる上、車内ではバスガイドさんのお話もあるので、各施設の歴史的背景も聞け、また時間内に施設をまわるにはどう動くのが適当かも教えてくれます。

こんなに盛りだくさんなのに、このお値段でいいの？と思いました。

もちろん観光最終日に、飛行機に乗るまでに時間がある方にも使えるツアーです。

If you need to catch a noon flight out of Okinawa, I strongly recommend this tour. It allows storage of luggages and drops off at Naha Airport! Travelling to Sefa Utaki, Mibaru Beach or Okinawa World from Naha and to the airport would cost about as much, or even more, by bus. This is perfect and convenient.

The audio guide is not working for those of us who doesn't understand Jap though.

The guide was very likable, and I appreciated that they tried their best to make the one-time tour enjoyable. I am really glad I booked the tour, even though the rental car was fully booked and I couldn't rent it. Despite the unfortunate rain, I was able to enjoy myself and learn about the culture.

ガイドさんがとても好感が持てて良かったです。
一度きりのツアーを最高に楽しませようとしてくれていて、とても感謝しています。
レンタカーが満席で借りれず、予約した今回でしたが、ツアーを予約して本当に良かったと思っています。
あいにくの雨でしたが、楽しめ、文化など知ることができました。

I used the service on a Saturday in April, and it was almost full. I thought it might be noisy since there were people from various countries, but surprisingly, the interior was quite quiet. You can choose your favorite seat in the order of pickup, so if you have more than three people, you might end up sitting apart, which is something to consider. I think it's a nice service that the guide asked for requests regarding drop-off locations. Overall, I believe it's a good course that allows you to visit the famous spots in Okinawa.

4月の土曜日に利用しましたがほぼ満席でした。多国籍の方が乗車されるので騒がしいかなと思いましたが車内は案外静かでした。ピックアップ順に好きな席に座るので３人以上は席が離れてしまう場合があるので配慮して欲しいですね。ガイドさんが降車場所のリクエストを聞いていたので親切なサービスだと思います。
全体的には沖縄の名所を回れる良いコースだと思います。

The guide's stories were interesting. I think it's an efficient tour that allows you to visit various places in one go.

The sea in Okinawa is truly beautiful. It's among the top three in the world in terms of beauty.

ガイドさんの話が面白かったです。
一度で色々な場所に行けて効率的なツアーだと思います。

沖縄の海は本当にきれいです。世界でもベストスリーに入る綺麗さです。

I was really looking forward to it after reading other people's comments, but it was just average, for better or worse. I was seated with someone else, and there was an uncomfortable vibe between us, which made it a bit tough for a long time. The tour had a tight schedule, so we skipped some places we wanted to see and returned to the bus early. Other guests were also punctual, so we were able to stick to the schedule. The guide's occasionally serious expression seemed to reflect the difficulties of the job. Thank you for your hard work.

他の方のコメントを読んでいて、とても楽しみにしていましたが良くも悪くも普通でした。
相席だったのですが、（多分お互いに）いやぁな感じでそれがちょっと長時間は辛かったです。
ツアーとしてはスケジュールがタイトだったので見たい所は端折って早めにバスに戻っていましたし、他のお客さんも時間を守る人ばかりだったのでスケジュール通りに周れていました。
ガイドさんが時折見せる固い表情が、仕事の大変さを物語っているようでした。
お疲れ様です。

Nice half day tour with drop off at airport for afternoon flights. All destinations were great, and we felt the time allocated for each destination was decent. Our tour guide was friendly and made sure we understood what time we needed to be back for each destination even though the tour is meant to be Japanese only. The English audio guide wasn't working, but we were ok with that. The timing of the tour was accurate so we had plenty of time to catch our flight after.

No one had a license, and transportation was a challenge for sightseeing, but even with a packed itinerary visiting three places, this price is cheap! Since it was a half-day tour, I had time to visit Shuri Castle in the afternoon, making good use of my day. Thank you very much.

誰も免許がなく、観光でまわるのに移動がネックだったんですが、3箇所まわる盛りだくさんな内容なのに、この値段は安いです！半日だったので、午後は首里城に行く時間かでき、1日を有効に使うことができました。ありがとうございました。

The guide was very kind and knowledgeable. Thanks to that, I had a great trip. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good on the day, but since we only stayed in Kouri Island for about 20 minutes on this course, it actually turned out to be a good thing! The Churaumi Aquarium had more attractions than I expected, and I strongly want to come back. The Eisa show and the Shisa performance at Ryukyu Village were also wonderful, and the audience was able to participate, which made it very fulfilling. However, I felt quite rushed during our stay at Ryukyu Village. After watching the show, we had to return to the bus immediately, so it's a bit disappointing that we couldn't experience more of the village we came to visit. Overall, it was a very fulfilling day.

ガイドさんがとても優しくて知識もかなり豊富です。おかげで良い旅が出来ました。当日生憎天気があまり良くないが、このコースでは古宇利島で20分くらいしか滞在しないため、逆に良いことになりました！美ら海水族館は思ってたより見所が多く、また来たいと強く思っています。琉球村のエイサーショーとシーサーのパフォーマンスも素晴らしく、観客たちも参加することができ、とても充実でした。ただ琉球村での滞在はかなり急いでいる気がします。ショーを見た後、すぐバスに戻らなければならないので、せっかく来た村の中のいろんな体験が出来ないのはちょっと残念です。全体的にとても充実した一日でした。

I had never been to Sefa Utaki, but I really wanted to go. However, since the transportation options for individual travelers are not very good, I was looking for a tour that could take me there. Fortunately, it worked out perfectly since I could only go for a half-day tour due to my flight schedule on the last day. I had been to Okinawa World and the Himeyuri Peace Museum before, but the museum adjacent to the Himeyuri Tower had been renovated and was completely different from my previous visit, so it felt like a new experience. I also hadn't been to Okinawa World in 16 years, so I barely remembered it. I think these shuttle buses are a great way to efficiently visit places that are hard to reach for individual travelers.

斎場御嶽は、まだ行ったことがなく、どうしても行きたいと思っていたのですが、個人で行くには交通の便が良くないため、そこに行けるツアーを探していました。ただ、最終日で飛行機の時間もあり、半日観光でしか行けないため、ちょうどよかったです。おきなわワールド、ひめゆりの塔は行ったことがあったのですが、ひめゆりの塔に隣接する資料館はリニューアルされていて前に行った時とは全然違っていたので、初めてと同じでよかったです。おきなをワールドも16年も前に行ったきりだったので、ほとんど覚えていなかったです。こういう巡回バスは、個人旅行で交通の便が悪いところを効率よくまわるには、とてもいいと思います。

I was able to efficiently visit inconvenient spots in a short amount of time. I felt it was a cost-effective plan. Since it's possible to get off at Naha Airport, I recommend setting it for the last day of your trip. However, the stay time at each sightseeing spot is relatively short, so those who want to explore in depth may need to consider this.

短時間で交通の不便なスポットを効率的に回る事ができました。コストパフォーマンスの高いプランだと感じました。那覇空港での下車が可能なので旅行最終日の設定がお勧めです。ただ各観光スポットの滞在時間は短めなのでじっくり訪れたい方には一考が必要かと思います。

The weather was great on the day, and I had a lot of fun participating. Above all, the bus guide was a wonderful and lovely person. They were skilled at dancing and singing, and they even showcased their shamisen playing, so I didn't feel bored during the ride! I highly recommend this tour!

当日は天気もよく、とても楽しく参加できました。
何よりバスガイトさんがすばらしく素敵な方でした(^▽^)
踊りや歌も上手で、三味線も披露してくださったので、車中も退屈せず過ごせました！
オススメできるツアーです☆彡

Me gustó mucho su servicio y conocí mucho de okinawa gracias por ensenarme la cultura de okinawa.

We used it for the first time as a couple, and it was really great.
On the bus, the guide performed songs and dances and taught us, which made it very lively.
I want to use it again! ♬

夫婦で 初めて利用しましたが 凄く良かったです。
バスの中では ガイドさんが 歌や踊りを披露して下さったり 教えて下さったりと 凄く盛り上がりました(*^^*)
また 利用したいです♬

I went expecting only the Churaumi Aquarium, but I really enjoyed interacting with the butterflies at Ryukyu Castle. The lunch here is Okinawa soba, which is very simple. It's really great for tourists without a car to be able to explore various places.

美ら海水族館だけを期待していったのですが、
琉球城での蝶との触れ合いがとても楽しめました。
ここでいただく昼食は沖縄そばなのですが、とてもシンプルです。
色々とまわっていただけるのが車のない観光者にとってはとてもありがたいことですね。

I have used the day trip bus tour several times, so I know the drill when it comes to boarding the bus. After that, a staff member approached me and handed me an envelope, saying, "Once you enter the Ocean Expo Park, go left." I thought, "Huh?" but the bus headed to Kouri Island. The scenery here is beautiful, and the sea is so clear that it’s healing every time I visit. When the time came, we headed to our next destination, the Ocean Expo Park. After arriving, we all moved together with the guide to the entrance of the Ocean Expo Park. Then, the guide made an unexpected statement. They mentioned that they would accompany us to the Churaumi Aquarium and pointed out where we could eat. However, when it came to guiding our group to the Tropical Dream Center, it was just a simple, "Go left." Seriously? That’s it? They didn’t even accompany us or provide guidance on where to eat! Just as I was thinking that, the guide quickly left with a cheerful "Bye!" like Audrey's Kasuga. If I had known it was a joint tour from the beginning, I could have understood, but it was disappointing.

In the afternoon, we visited Manzamo and Ryukyu Village, which I had always wanted to see, so I’m glad I participated.

日帰りバスツアーは何度か利用しているので勝手知ったるなんとやらでバス乗車。その後スタッフとおぼしき人に声を掛けられ封筒を渡され、「海洋博公園の中に入りましたら左です」と伝えられた。…ん？と思いながらもバスは古宇利島へ。ここは景色も良く海も透明で何度来ても癒されます。時間になり次の目的地、海洋博公園へ。到着後ガイドさんと海洋博公園入口まで全員で移動。するとここでガイドさんからの意外な発言。なんと、美ら海水族館に同行するとか食事ができる場所はどこどこですとか。いざ、我らが熱帯ドリームセンター組への案内は「左で～す」。。。おいおい、それだけ。同行もせずに飯食うところの案内も無しかよ！と思っていた矢先、間髪入れずオードリー春日ばりの「バ～～イ」と言わんばかりに去って行きました。合同なら募集の時点で分かっていれば理解もできたのに。残念です。
午後からの万座毛・琉球村は一度は行ってみたかったスポットだったので参加して良かったです。

This Tour is very comfortable and You can see the beautiful places.

It has been 15 years since my last visit to Okinawa. I wanted to visit famous spots like Churaumi Aquarium, but I thought it wouldn't be cost-effective to rent a car for a solo trip or transfer by bus to the northern part of the island. While searching for tours, I discovered this one. I was a bit worried because the tour price was low and included admission tickets, but after participating, I found myself thinking, "Is this price really okay?" within about 30 minutes, as it turned out to be an amazing tour.

I have participated in various tours both domestically and internationally, but the smile of our bus guide, Naruemi, was wonderful, and the driving of our driver, Kinjo, who was introduced as resembling Ken Shimura, was very careful and comfortable. You could feel the effort and hospitality to keep participants engaged from start to finish. I would highly recommend this tour for first-time visitors to Okinawa.

Thanks to this tour, I had a very enjoyable day!

The current situation regarding the Okinawa base issue, which people from the mainland tend to approach cautiously, was educational, especially with the Uchināguchi (Okinawan dialect) class and cultural customs that felt like a social studies field trip. We also did dance stretches to Okinawan songs. The guide's quick costume change for the sweet potato girl dance was delightful. Even as a solo participant, I had a lot of fun.

However, I do have a couple of suggestions for improvement.

- Regarding meals at Churaumi Aquarium: Since I participated in a tour during a holiday period, we had free time for lunch at the aquarium, but there were very few restaurants, and it was extremely crowded. I had to wait about 20 minutes to place an order, which made it difficult to enjoy a leisurely meal, and I hardly had any time to explore the aquarium. I felt that for tours during holiday periods, it would be better to include a stop at a recommended steak restaurant for an additional fee, or if bringing food and drinks into Ocean Expo Park were allowed, an announcement in advance would have been appreciated.

- About the Okashi Goten (Sweet Shop): While it was nice to see the production process, I felt that since there is a location on Kokusai Street, it might not be necessary to go out of the way for it. Instead of visiting Okashi Goten, I would have preferred to arrive at Ryukyu Village a bit earlier or have time to visit Kouri Tower on Kouri Island.

After returning to the mainland, I happened to hear "Yui Yui," and it brought back memories of the bus tour, making me smile a little.

This was a great tour for those who want to focus solely on visiting the famous spots in Okinawa.

15年ぶりの沖縄。美ら海等の名所には行きたいけれど一人旅に
わざわざレンタカーを借りたり、バスを乗り継いで北部まで行くのは
費用対効果が合わないなとツアー検索していたところ、こちらのツアーを発見。
入場券込でツアー料金も安価なので心配はありましたが、参加して30分ほどで
別の意味で「この価格で大丈夫?」と思ってしまうほど、最高のツアーでした。

国内外様々なツアーに参加してきましたが根路銘バスガイドさんの笑顔が素敵で
志村けんさん似と紹介されていた金城運転手さんの運転はとても丁寧で乗り心地良くて
最初から最後まで参加者を飽きさせない工夫・おもてなしの心が感じられ
初めて沖縄へ行く方にはお勧めしたくなるツアーでした。

おかげざまでとても楽しい一日になりました!

内地の人間が話題に出すのも慎重になる沖縄基地問題の現状、
うちなーぐち(沖縄弁)講座や風習は社会科見学のようで勉強になりました。
また沖縄の歌に合わせたダンス・ストレッチ。
ガイドさんの早着替えでの紅芋娘の踊り。一人参加でも、すごく楽しかったです。

ただ2つほど、改善要望もあります。

・美ら海水族館での食事について
連休時期のツアー参加だったため、美ら海水族館で自由に昼食をとるのですが
レストランの数が少なく、とてつもなく混雑。注文に20分待ち等でゆっくり
食事ができず、館内もほとんど見る時間が取れなかったので
連休時期のツアー時は別料金加算でも良いのでお勧めステーキレストラン立ち寄り、
もしくは海洋博公園に飲食物持ち込みOKであれば、事前に持参等のアナウンス
対応があれば良かったなと感じました。

・お菓子御殿について
製造工程が見られたのは良かったのですが・・・
国際通りにもあるのでわざわざ行かなくてもいいかなと感じました。
お菓子御殿に行く代わりに琉球村にもう少し早く到着、もしくは古宇利島で
せっかくなら古宇利タワーにも行く時間等が欲しかったなと感じました。

内地に戻ってきて、たまたま「ゆいゆい」を耳にしたとき
バスでのことを思い出し、少し頬が緩みました。

沖縄の名所だけ集中してまわりたい方にはおすすめの良いツアーでした。

This tour was very interesting! As we were without a car in Okinawa, with this tour we were able to visit most of Okinawa's famous spots especially Churaumi aquarium and had traditional Okinawan lunch for a very reasonable price, considering the fact that the normal admission fee for the aquarium is around 3000 yen. Moreover, on each stop we received small presents from the tour guide, which is very pleasing! Also there was an English audio guide so we have learned some of interesting facts about Okinawa.
Overall this tour was very good and well organized, everything on time and the tour guide and bus driver were very kind! we have brought our own stroller and the driver was taking it out and folding it back on every stop, for what we are very thankful!
I definitely recommend this tour!

I traveled alone, but I didn't rent a car. I visited the Sefa Utaki, New Hama Beach, and the Peace Memorial Park, and I was able to get a ride back to the airport, which I think is quite cost-effective!

On the way there, there were three pickup locations, but some people were late, and I feel like we lost about 30 minutes because of that. That was disappointing. However, we arrived at the airport right at 1 PM on the way back, so that was good.

一人旅できたものの、レンタカーは借りずにいました。斎場御嶽、新原ビーチ、ひめゆりの塔と周ってくれて帰りは空港まで送っていただけるのでかなりコスパよし！だと思います。
行きはピックアップが３箇所ありましたが、遅刻したりなんだりの人がいて、結局30分くらいはロスしていた気がします。そこが残念です。帰りは13時ぴったりに空港に到着したので良かったです。

I was able to efficiently sightsee on my first trip to Okinawa. The guide's explanations and personality were very good. At Okinawa World, I couldn't see the Eisa performance, but after visiting the limestone cave, I enjoyed some local beer. It's great that you can choose between the beach and Okinawa World on the day of the tour. We were indecisive until the last minute (laughs). At the Himeyuri Monument, we were in a hurry, but we were able to see the museum as well. The price was reasonable, and it was such a satisfying tour that I would want to do it again.

初めての沖縄旅行で効率よく観光できました。
ガイドさんの説明と人柄がとても良かったです。
おきなわワールドでは、エイサーは見れませんでしたが、
鍾乳洞を見たあと地ビールを堪能しました。
ビーチ・おきなわワールドとコースを当日選択できるのは良いですね。
私たちはぎりぎりまで迷いました（笑）
ひめゆりの塔では急ぎ足でしたが、資料館も見ることができました。
代金も安いですし、リピートしたくなるくらい大満足なツアーでした。

We are on board at the first stop and it take about two n half hour to pick up other travelers in different hotel.. we are arranged to sit at the last row of the bus.. we are feel uncomfortable even me vomit in the bus.. lucky one of my friend have a small plastic bag for me.. ask for the tour leader who doesn't know English.... can't communicate :((
Pineapples stop only allowed us to stay 45 min, not enough time to try on the food.. after that take 2.5 hours time to go back hotel..,.haiz！！

I had an unexpected long vacation due to work. Living in a cold place, I really wanted to escape to a warm location, so I chose Okinawa. Even acquaintances in Okinawa said, "That's a route we don't usually take," as it is the northernmost point. The lunch was better than I expected, but I wish I could have enjoyed the meal a bit more leisurely. One request: the audio guide through the earphones... the quality was not great? Even at the lowest volume, the sound was distorted, and I couldn't hear half of it. I think it would be good to check it once.

仕事の関係から急きょ空いた、長期休み。
寒い所に住んでる私は、とにかく‼暖かい場所へ逃げたく…沖縄を選びました。
沖縄の知人でさえ、『あまり、行かないようなコースだね』との話の…最北端。
lunchも、思っていたより良かったです…が、もう少しゆっくりお食事したかったかな。
ひとつ…お願いですが、案内の流れるイヤホーン…
質が…いまいち？　一番最低音量にしても、音がわれてしまい、半分も聞き取れなかったです。
一度確認されたらいかがかなと思います

I was satisfied that I could visit all the places I wanted to!

Since I was going to Kouri Island, I wanted to explore not just the beach but also other areas.

The audio guide was too loud, so I stopped listening halfway through...

Also, this isn't an issue with the tour company, but the person sitting behind me, who I think was Chinese, kept burping repeatedly, which was uncomfortable (laughs).

But overall, I was very satisfied with the tour! It was so much fun! Thank you very much! ✨

私的に行きたいところを全て回れて満足です！

古宇利島にせっかく行くので
ビーチだけじゃなくて
他のとこも回りたかったのと

音声ガイドの音がデカすぎて
途中聞くのやめたのと…

あとはツアー会社の問題ではないですが
後ろの席の中国人？の方が何回もゲップをしててずっと同じ席なのが苦でした(笑)

でもツアー自体は全然満足！
とっても楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました✨

We, who cannot drive, decided to head north on this bus tour. At Ryukyu Mura, we played with some of Japan's largest butterflies, and at Nago Pineapple Park, we enjoyed rides and had fun beyond just the aquarium. Above all, being able to sleep while traveling is the best!

車を運転できない私たち、こちらのバスツアーで北部に向かうことにしました。
琉宮城は日本最大級の蝶とたわむれ、ナゴパイナップルパークはライドに乗って移動し、水族館以外も楽しめました。なにより眠っていけるのが最高です

We toured the southern region, which is difficult to access without a car, with a friendly female guide. Despite being budget-friendly, the tour provided thorough explanations and covered key destinations, deepening our understanding of southern Okinawa.

感じのよい女性のガイドさんとともに、自動車がないとアクセスしにくい南部方面をめぐりました。格安なのに、きちんと説明や訪問先がおさえられており、沖縄南部への理解が深まったツアーとなりました。

Okinawa's Oishi Forest is particularly dangerous when it rains due to poor footing. The Churaumi Course offers plenty of rocks and beautiful scenery to enjoy. Our guide was a handsome guy with blue eyes; his Japanese was a bit hard to understand, but we managed just fine. The buffet was really delicious. Overall, it felt a bit rushed due to time constraints, but I had a great time. Since it was cloudy, I think the views would be even better on a sunny day.

大石林山は特に雨だと足元が悪く危険です。
美ら海コースで十分岩も景色も堪能できます。
ガイドさんは青い目のイケメンさんで、日本語は少しわかりにくいですが不自由はなくすごせました。
バイキングはすごくおいしかったです。
全体的に時間が足りず駆け足な感じですが、楽しかったです。
曇りだったので、晴れると景色がもっといいんだろうなと思います。

I had never been to the northern part of Okinawa before, and this was my first time visiting the northernmost point. The bus and seats were comfortable, making for a pleasant ride. The view from Cape Hedo was amazing, and at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I was able to catch the dolphin show at just the right time, but the two hours flew by. Overall, it was a fun tour, and I would like to visit again to enjoy a leisurely stroll.

沖縄北部にはこれまで行ったことがなく、今回初めて最北端に行きました。バスも座席も乗り心地が良く、快適でした。辺戸岬からの景色も素晴らしく、大石林山では自然の不思議さを感じ、散策で心癒されました。1時間ではすべてのコースを歩くことができず、また、改めて訪問して、ゆっくり散策を楽しみたいと思います。美ら海水族館では、イルカショーをタイミングよく見れましたが、2時間があっという間でした。全体的に楽しい時間が過ごせたツアーでした。

It was very convenient to be able to tour in half a day and be taken back to the airport.
Seifu-taki was quite deep in the mountains and the footing was poor.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have enough time to see everything at Okinawa World.
The Okinawa show was great!
At the Himeyuri Monument, I felt the history that should not be forgotten.
All entrance fees were paid on the day.
The prices were low, and considering the transportation costs to the airport, it was a great deal! Highly recommended!
However, the bus driving was not very good, and it was quite bumpy, which made me feel nauseous.

観光が半日で回れて、帰りは空港へ送って頂けるのでとても便利でした。
せーふぅたきはかなり山の中で足元が悪かったです。
おきなわワールドは、時間がなく、全部回れないのが少し残念でした。
沖縄のショーは良かったです！
ひめゆりの塔は、忘れてはいけない歴史が感じられました。
入場料は全て当日支払い。
価格も安く、空港までの交通費を考えたらとてもお得です！オススメ‼️
ただバスの運転があまりよくなくて、かなり揺れて酔いました。
