All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

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.

I wanted to spend more time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, so the course was limited, and I didn't want to go to the pineapple garden, but I had no choice. It was just as I imagined—boring and felt like a waste of time. Spending a long time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and skipping the pineapple garden to spend more time at American Village would be good for kids, but adults didn't need the pineapple garden.

美ら海水族館での滞在時間を長くとりたかったのでコースが限られて　パイナップル園には行きたくなかったけど仕方なく
想像通り面白くなく時間の無駄って感じでした
美ら海水族館長い滞在時間にしてパイナップル園行かずアメリカンビレッジ長めに時間とるとか　子供には良いけど大人はパイナップル園は要らなかったなぁ

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！

I live in Hokkaido.
I came to Okinawa for the first time in my life on my honeymoon!
Since we didn't know our way around, we decided to go with this guided tour.

In the end, I felt that we made a great choice!
There were some microphone troubles, and the guide seemed to have a tough time, but they were very friendly, cheerful, and kind, making the whole experience enjoyable!

If you're unsure, definitely consider booking this guided tour!!

北海道に住んでいる者です。
新婚旅行で生まれて初めて沖縄に来ました！
そこで、右も左もわからない私達はこのガイドツアーにお願いさせていただきました。

結果、ここを選んで良かったと思いました！
マイクトラブルがありガイドさんは大変そうでしたが、とても気さくで明るく、親切なガイドさんでしたので終始楽しかったです♫

迷ってる方はぜひこちらのガイドツアーを予約してみてください！！

I was able to see many creatures that I can't find in other aquariums. Additionally, in the outdoor sea turtle area, there was a space where we could experience nesting and feeding, which allowed us to learn about the ecology of these animals in a very real way. I also enjoyed a very fun time watching the elderly dolphin, Oki-chan, give an impressive performance.

他の水族館では見ることの出来ない生き物も沢山見ることができた。
また、外の海亀のエリアでは産卵の様子や餌やりが体験出来るスペースがあり生き物の生態などをリアルに体験できるのがとてもいいと思いました。
高齢なイルカのおきちゃんも頑張って迫力ある演技を披露してくれとても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。

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。

The tour guide's service was excellent.
The lunch was delicious.
I was able to experience various activities, and the time management was great, making it a very fulfilling tour.

添乗員の対応が良かったです。
お昼が美味しかったです。
色々体験できて、時間の分配もよくて、とても充実したツアーでした。

I had my parents join the tour I participated in during my first trip to Okinawa. They were very satisfied with the Churaumi Aquarium. I believe this tour is a must for anyone's first trip to Okinawa.

自分が初沖縄旅に参加したツアーを両親来日時にも参加させました。
やはり美ら海水族館に大満足していました、
初沖縄はこのツアーは必須だと思います。

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。

I had chosen my own itinerary for the day, and left the details to the driver. The driver was great, friendly & responsive, and made excellent suggestions. He took me to purchase discount tickets, which wasn’t on my radar, and knew the best places to park & meet up. A great day with a great driver!! (I could tell that he was nervous at first about communication, but he was very relieved that I speak Japanese so we could communicate without issue.)

I made a reservation for a bus tour in Okinawa, which I visited for the first time in 10 years, thinking it would efficiently take me to the places I wanted to go. I was grateful that the bus arrived on time despite it being a Sunday, and the bus guide's explanations were very clear and enjoyable.

There are several departure points, but if you choose randomly, you might end up quite far from your hotel, so I think it's best to check the locations properly and get on from the nearest one.

Also, the stops are not meant for leisurely exploration, so there isn't much time to slowly decide where to go or what to do. I think it's better to have a rough idea of the places you want to visit and the food you want to try, and then move quickly!

10年ぶりに訪れた沖縄で、行きたいところを効率よく回れるバスツアーはないかなと思い予約しました。日曜日にも関わらず、定刻通り到着してくれてありがたかったのと、バスガイドさんのご説明がとても分かりやすく楽しめました。

出発地がいくつかあるのですが、何となくで選ぶとホテルから結構遠かったりするので、きちんと場所を調べて最寄りのところから乗せてもらうのがいいと思います。

また、立ち寄る場所ではゆっくりする、という感じではないので、どこ行こうか、何しようかとゆっくり選んでいる余裕はあまりないです。ある程度行きたい場所や食べたいものなど決めておいて、サクサク回るのがいいかなと思いました！

It was my first solo trip to Okinawa. I really enjoyed my time at the Churaumi Aquarium. Even without renting a car, this tour allowed me to visit various places, which was great. I think it's a good option for first-time visitors to Okinawa, as it includes locations like Manza Beach that are hard to reach without a car.

初めての沖縄一人旅でした。美ら海水族館は滞在時間が長く楽しめました。レンタカーを借りなくても、このツアーなら色々な場所に行けて、良かったです。万座毛など、車がなければ行けない場所にも行けるので、初めて沖縄を訪れる人にはいいと思います。

This time, it was a short stay of 2 nights and 3 days. One of my friends was visiting Okinawa for the first time, so we signed up for this tour. It was a fun tour packed with a lot of activities. You can also take a nap during the bus rides, and for those with a short stay and visiting Okinawa for the first time, I highly recommend it!

今回は、2拍3日の短い滞在でした。友人の１人が沖縄初めてだったので、このツアーを申し込みました。ぎゅっとプランが詰まった楽しいツアーでした。バスの移動中は仮眠も取れますし、旅行の滞在日数が少なく、初めての沖縄の方には、オススメです！

Yambaru Experience Tour
On the bus, you can enjoy information about the next destination through the earphone guide and the tour conductor's commentary, while sometimes looking out the window. The travel is much easier compared to renting a car.
During lunchtime, not only is there a delicious seafood set meal, but there is also a beautiful garden with great scenery, making popular shops quite understandable.
The main highlight, Daishi Forest Mountain, follows the Churaumi Observation Deck course as the standard route, while those interested can start from the Unique Rocks and Giant Stones course. Although the Unique Rocks and Giant Stones course has difficult footing, it allows you to feel the energy of Daishi Forest Mountain, known as a power spot, even more. I was overwhelmed from the start and couldn't find my pace; 50 minutes was definitely not enough. I wished we could have stayed for about an hour and a half.

Although I didn't encounter the wild Yambaru Rail, after learning about life through the earphone guide and videos (which included footage of animal accidents due to traffic), I was able to see the adorable behavior of Kuu-chan, the Yambaru Rail, through the explanation of the guide at the Yambaru Rail learning facility.

Yambaru is a bit far and not easy to get to, but it was a very satisfying bus tour with a variety of experiences.

やんばるを満喫するツアー
バス社内でも次の目的地に関する情報をイヤフォンガイドや添乗員さんの話も聞きながら、時には車窓を見たり、目的地までの移動がレンタカーよりとにかく楽です。
ランチタイムは美味しいお海鮮の定食はもちろん、景色の良い庭園があり、人気のお店も納得です。
メインにしていた大石林山は、美ら海展望台コースを標準として、希望者は奇岩･巨石コースからスタートする。奇岩･巨石コースは足下が悪いのですが、パワースポットと呼ばれる大石林山をより感じることが出来ます。最初から圧倒されて、ペースが掴めず、滞在50分では全然足りなかった。希望として1時間半くらい滞在時間があればと思いました。

野生のヤンバルクイナには出会えなかったけれど、バス車内でイヤホンガイドと映像での命の学習(交通事故による動物の事故映像が流れます)をした後、ヤンバルクイナの学習施設で案内役のお姉さんの説明で、ヤンバルクイナのくーちゃんの愛らしい行動が観られました。

やんばるまでは少し遠い、なかなか行けないけれど、いろいろ廻ってもらえて大満足のバスツアーでした。

Nago Pineapple Park and the Churaumi Aquarium were both very good. I think it was a very fulfilling tour with the ocean along the way. I would like to request another ocean-related tour next time.

ナゴパイナップルパークも美ら海水族館もとても良かったです。途中で海もあってとても欲張りで良いツアーだと思います。次回も海関係のツアーをお願いしたいと思います。

It was great that we were able to move efficiently without any waste. However, the announcements heard through the earphones were choppy and I could hardly understand what was being said.

効率よく回ってもらえたのでムダがなくて
良かったです。
ただイヤホンで聞くアナウンスは電波？途切れ途切れで殆ど何を言ってるかわからなかったです。

○Positive Points
- Since it stops at various locations, you can choose souvenirs from different places.
- I had trouble figuring out where to get on in the morning, but after a phone call, I was able to board safely. It was raining, and the staff kindly held an umbrella for me when getting on and off.

○Disappointing Points
- I felt that the ticket handover at the aquarium entrance was not smooth.
- The restaurant where I could listen to island music had performers and food that weren't to my taste, so I was not satisfied. The bitter melon champuru without any ingredients was particularly disappointing. The staff mentioned it was a course meal from the Celestial menu, so I wonder if it was a cheaper course... Since it was a special trip, I wanted to eat something delicious even if it meant spending more.
- It might be better to reduce the number of stops and spend at least 10 more minutes at Churaumi. After visiting the aquarium, I had extra time, but not enough to go to another facility, so I struggled to fill the time.

I feel like visiting Churaumi Aquarium once is enough. Although the bus tour is convenient since I don't know the area, I think I will choose a different tour for the meals next time.

○良かった点
・様々な場所で停車するため、おみやげを色んな場所で選べる。
・朝、乗る場所がわからなくて困ったが、電話のやり取りをして無事乗れた。雨天だったので乗り降りの際に傘をさしてくれた。スタッフさんが親切。

○残念だった点
・水族館入場時のチケット受け渡しがスムーズでなかったように思う。
・食事 島唄ライブを聞けるお店だったが、演者も料理も好みではなく、満足出来なかった。特に具のないゴーヤーチャンプルーは残念。お店の方もセルリアンのコースのお料理です、というふうに言って料理を運んできたので、安いコースだったのかな…。せっかくの旅行だったので値段をあげてもおいしいものを食べたかった。
・停車場所を減らして、美ら海での時間を10分でも長く取った方がいいのでは。水族館を見た後に時間が余ったが、別の施設に行くほどは時間が余らないし、時間つぶしに困った。


美ら海水族館は1度行けばいいかなという感じでした。土地勘がないなか、バスツアーは便利なので機会があればまた利用したいが、料理は別のツアーにしようと思う。

I participated in this tour as a solo traveler. It was great to be able to visit so many places at a low cost. I had read in reviews that the time spent at each spot was short, so I researched the highlights before joining. Therefore, I didn't feel it was particularly short. There were more international travelers than Japanese participants on the tour.

一人旅で参加しました。
格安でこれだけ回れるのは良かったです。
一つのスポットの滞在時間は短いと口コミで見ていたので、見どころとかを調べて参加しました。なので特に短いとは思わなかったです。
日本人よりも海外の方が多いツアーでした。

The course content was good, but the timing of the course was poor. Due to traffic during the holiday, lunch was served after 3 PM, but even under normal circumstances, it usually takes until around 1:30 PM. I think it would be better to go to Churaumi Aquarium after the submarine experience, but there was no need to go past it to Bise. If we had gone to the aquarium afterward, everything would have been fine. It's a disappointing tour.

コース内容は良かったですが、コースの時間の取り方が悪いです。
連休の渋滞があった関係で、昼食時間が３時過ぎ、しかし通常でも１時半ぐらいなります。サブマリンの後に美ら海水族館に行けば時間も良いと思いますが、通り越して備瀬に行く必要はなく、水族館の後に行けば全て良くなるのに
残念なツアーです。

This time, I participated in the tour on May 4th. Since I couldn't make a reservation for a rental car, I used the bus tour. The advantages of the bus tour were, without a doubt, the reduced cost, time, and fatigue. If I had rented a car, just using the parking lot at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium would have taken unnecessary time, cost money, and caused fatigue. The total cost was very reasonable, which was a great help. I was able to do almost everything I wanted to do on Okinawa Island. I had a fulfilling day visiting Nago Pineapple Park → Kouri Island → Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium → Manzamo. Therefore, I want to tell my friends who love Okinawa about it.

今回は、5/4のツアーに参加しました。
レンタカーの予約が、出来なかった為
バスツアーを利用させてもらいました。
バスツアーでの利点は、何と言っても
コストと時間と疲労が、少なかったことです。
普通にレンタカーならば、美ら海水族館の駐車場を利用するだけでも、無駄な時間も掛かるし、お金も掛かるし、疲労も掛かると思いました。トータルコストも非常にリーズナブルで、助かりました。沖縄本島でしたいことが、ほぼ出来ました。
名護バイナップルパーク→古宇利島→美ら海水族館→万座毛と充実した一日を過ごせました。
なので、沖縄好きな知り合いに教えたいと思います。

It was my first trip to Okinawa. Since I couldn't reserve a rental car due to Golden Week, I joined this bus tour. There was heavy traffic, but the bus took us everywhere, so I was able to enjoy it without stress. At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, I focused on the Oki-chan Theater and the whale shark exhibit. I quickly finished my meal! It was a bit busy, but I was able to buy souvenirs as well. Be careful as the bus parking lot is quite far away. The itinerary was packed, but it was great for efficiently exploring during my first trip to Okinawa.

初沖縄旅行でした。レンタカー予約がゴールデンウィークだという事もあり出来ずに、こちらのバス旅行に参加しました。大渋滞でしたがバスが全部連れて行ってくれるので、ストレスなく楽しめました。美海水族館はおきちゃん劇場とジンベイザメのブースに絞る。ご飯もサッと済ませる！と少し忙しいですが、お土産もちゃんと買えました．バスの駐車場が離れているので注意が必要です。盛りだくさんのコースですが初沖縄旅行で
効率的に周れるので良かったです。

We participated as a group of three. The weather was cloudy, but it was great to spend the day without rain just before the start of the rainy season. During busy periods like holidays, it seems you can get caught in traffic.

The trip there was a bit crowded, but the guide was wonderful, and we were able to enjoy ourselves on the bus while learning a lot about Okinawa.

Weather and crowds depend on luck, but I highly recommend this for efficiently exploring and learning about Okinawa. One of our family members had difficulty walking, but it was a relief that they were able to store the wheelchair in the cargo area.

３人で参加しました。
天気はくもりでしたが、梅雨入り前
の時期に雨も降らずに１日過ごせてよかったです。
連休など混雑期は、渋滞に巻き込まれることもあるようです。

行きは少し混雑しましたが、ガイドさんがすばらしく、車内でも楽しめたり、沖縄のことを色々知ることができました。

天気や混雑は運次第ですが、効率よく
まわって沖縄のことを知るためにはすごくオススメです。
足が悪い家族がいたのですが、車いすを貨物室に預かってもらえ助かりました

I was able to have a fulfilling day in just one day. It was a bit hectic, but it was a great deal with the tour, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

1日で濃厚な日を過ごす事が出来ました。ちょっと慌ただしかったですが、お得なツアーでとても良かったです。友人にも勧めたく思いました。

I tried to go sightseeing based on the tour details provided by VELTRA at the time of booking, but they understood the situation well and adjusted the itinerary. They also introduced us to facilities that seemed interesting, allowing us to have a very good experience that wasn't included in the sightseeing guide.

予約時にVELTRAより提示されたツアー内容で観光しようとしましたが、状況をよく把握して頂き行程を調整して頂きました。
また、興味のありそうな施設なども紹介して頂き、観光ガイドにはないとても良い体験が出来ました。

I was very satisfied as I was able to efficiently secure just the right amount of sightseeing time and visit various places! The guide was also very polite and kind. I thought it was wonderful that the guide provided individual explanations about the meeting time to the foreign participants.

効率よくちょうどいい観光時間も確保して、色々回れて大満足です！
ガイドさんもとても丁寧で親切でした。
外国人の参加者のかたにも、ガイドさんが個別に集合時間などの説明をされていたのが、とても素晴らしいと思いました。

The guide's polite way of speaking and detailed information were very helpful. The songs were wonderful and created great memories.

There was a timely restroom stop, so I had no worries.

There were also light snacks like sandwiches.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, while the timing for the dolphin show might be a bit tight, I think there was enough time to enjoy the aquarium portion.

There were about 16 participants, so it wasn't too crowded.

Since the sun was strong, I think it's best to be well-prepared with sun protection like hats or parasols.

ガイドさんの丁寧な話し方と細かな内容は為になりました。お歌も素敵で
良い思い出になりました。

丁度よいタイミングでトイレ停車があり、心配ありませんでした。

サンドイッチの軽食もありました。

美ら海水族館ではイルカショーの時間には少し厳しいかとは思いますが、水族館部分では十分たのしめる時間だったと思います。

参加人数も16人ほどで密になり過ぎなかったです。

日差しが強かったので帽子や日傘等の日差し対策はしっかりしたほうが良いかと思います。
