All Reviews for 1-Day Tours

The hotel in Naha provided a shuttle service, making it easy to participate. Once you chose a seat on the bus, you could return to it, which was helpful as I could leave unused items on the bus.

The long Kouri Bridge leading to Kouri Island, featured in the guidebook, was stunning, and the beautiful white coral beach at Kouri Beach was breathtaking. I would have loved to be taken to the place where the guide mentioned a storm occurred.

The Churaumi Aquarium is quite far from Naha, so including it in the plan was one of the reasons I chose this course. The large tank with three whale sharks was impressive, and the dolphin shows, as well as the tanks with sea turtles and dugongs, were also worth seeing.

At Nago Pineapple Park, the stay was very short, and I wished we could have spent a bit more time there.

Mihama American Village faces Sunset Beach, and I was looking forward to the sunset, but due to the rainy season, I couldn't see a beautiful sunset. However, the lighting of the buildings in the area was beautiful and romantic, and I was glad there was enough time for a proper dinner.

From morning to night, I was thoroughly guided around Okinawa, making for a very enjoyable and meaningful day. Thank you very much.

那覇の宿泊してるホテルまで送迎があったので参加しやすかったです。バスの中は一度席を決めるとそこに戻る事が出来たので使わない物をバスの中に置いていく事が出来て助かりました。

ガイドブックにも載っていた古宇利島にかかる長い古宇利大橋、すごく海の水がキレイで白い珊瑚の海岸が素敵な古宇利ビーチは絶景でした。ガイドさんが言っていた嵐が来た場所、せっかくだから連れていってもらいたかったです。

美ら海水族館は那覇からとても遠くて行きにくいのでプランに入っているのはこのコースを選ぶポイントの1つでした。ジンベイザメが3体もいる大水槽は圧巻でしたし、イルカ達のショーやウミガメやジュゴンの水槽も見応えがありました。

名護パイナップルパークでは滞在時間がとても短かったのでもうちょっとゆっくり出来たら良かったと思いました。

美浜アメリカンヴィレッジはサンセットビーチに面していて夕焼けが楽しみだったのですが梅雨の時期というのもあってキレイな夕焼けは見れませんでした。でもこの一帯の建物のライトアップがキレイでロマンチックでしたし、しっかり晩御飯が食べれる時間があったので良かったです。

朝から晩までしっかり沖縄を案内してくれてとても楽しくて有意義な1日になりました。ありがとうございました。

I would recommend this. It works out about the same as getting public transport and buying a ticket to the aquarium alone. It was a little rushed, I think the glass place and the pineapple place are a waste of time. The butterfly place was cool as was the dolphin show. The aquarium is amazing! A must see. Overall a good well organised day out.

I participated in the Kouri Island, Manza Beach, and Bise Fukugi Tree Road course during Golden Week. I chose this tour because the stay at the Churaumi Aquarium was long, but I would have appreciated a tour conducted only in Japanese if possible. On the bus back to Naha, there was a family showing Chinese cartoons to their child on a smartphone or tablet, and the volume was loud enough to be heard from the back seat. I really wished someone would have addressed that. I was very satisfied with the tour content and the guide, so it was a bit disappointing at the end.

古宇利島・万座毛・備瀬フクギ並木コース にＧＷに参加しました。美ら海水族館の滞在時間が長いのでこちらのツアーに決めましたが、出来れば日本語のみのツアーがあると嬉しいです。那覇に向かう帰りのバス内で子供にスマホかタブレットで中国語のアニメをみせている家族がいたのですが、後ろの席にまで聞こえる音量でした。さすがにこれは注意して欲しかったです。ツアー内容、ガイドさんに関してはとても満足のいくものだっただけに、最後にちょっと残念でした。

Churaumi Aquarium was a lot of fun! The guide and the driver were both nice, and it became a wonderful memory.

However, it was indeed written in the itinerary that "all-you-can-eat pineapple is included!" but it was not actually provided.

I went with my fiancé, and since we both love pineapple, we were really looking forward to the all-you-can-eat option.

So, I have some dissatisfaction... It was very disappointing.

美ら海水族館、とても楽しかったです！
ガイドさんも運転手さんもいい方で、素敵な想い出になりました。

ただ、旅程に確かに｢パイナップル食べ放題付いてます！｣と書いてあったのですが、実際はありませんでした。

婚約者と一緒に行ったのですが、パイナップルが大好きなので食べ放題をとても楽しみにしていました。

なので不満が残っています･･･
非常に残念でした

The Churaumi Aquarium bus tour and three other spots is a great value. Such a low price for an all day tour. You get lunch, a small bowl of Okinawa Soba, at the Butterfly Garden, the aquarium, pineapple park, and the glass factor. We were a group of six, and at the aquarium, five of us got lost. I followed the guide (I understand Japanese) but the others (all Chinese) failed to follow. When I went back to where I last saw them, they were gone! The guide was very helpful. She helped me look for them and found three (including my husband), but the other two were still missing. She went back to the bus and found the other two, brought them back to us. Reunited! The dolphin show was very entertaining but I was eager to see the whale sharks at the aquarium. They had three whale sharks and my husband took some great photos. The other exhibits were hard to see, so many people! Chinese tourists everywhere! We spent three hours at the aquarium and then it was back to the bus. Next stop, Pineapple park, sampled different juices and baked goods. Final stop, Ryukyu glass factory. The pieces are very pretty but pricey so we spent the short time there eating purple potato ice cream, very good, you have to try it when you come to Okinawa.
It took another two hours to get back to Naha and we asked to be dropped off at Kokusaidori. Since we're all in the service industry, and because she was so helpful, we tipped the guide. There were only two things I didn't like about this tour. First, it took 15 minutes for us to walk from our hotel (Rihga Royal Gran) to the pick up hotel (Loisir). 2nd, lunch was too smal. We all could've eaten two bowls of noodles. We were all so hungry, we had the buffet dinner on the top floor of the Ryubo department store! Still, we had a good time!

Basically, I spent most of my time in the car, but I had a chance to get out three times to enjoy the scenery. The line at the cafeteria by the sea was too long, so there wasn't enough time to play.

基本的に車の中に、大部分の時間を過ごしたのですが、三つほど降りて風景を楽しむ機会があり、海へい公園の食堂の行列は長すぎて、遊ぶ時間は足りなかったです。

Had a great time on this bus tour however really wish we could have spent more time at each stop. I felt too rushed and couldn't enjoy the places as much as I would have liked. Definitely worth the price and will recommend to friends and family! A chunk of the trip was picking up and dropping off people to their hotels so the bus ride was very long but it was really convenient for us. Also you get free little gifts. We got a piece from the glass house and pineapple ice cream!

I was very satisfied with the one-day tour for 5,500 yen, both in terms of price and time savings. Moreover, both the guide and the driver were pleasant, making for a comfortable experience. The guide's sanshin performance and singing (with sign language included) were delightful, and they also encouraged us to do some exercises in the vehicle, which kept us from getting bored without being pushy. I truly felt this was what hospitality is all about. The guide's hospitality was outstanding.

55００円で一日観光はお値段的にも時間的にも節約できて大変満足です。しかも、ガイドさんもドライバーさんも感じよく快適に過ごせました。ガイドさんのさんしん・歌（しかも手話付）はちょっとしたもので、また、車内での体操も勧めてくれて退屈することなく、かといって押し付けるわけでもなく、これがおもてなしなんだなと感じました。ガイドさんのおもてなしは最高でした

It was a 3-night, 4-day trip during the first half of Golden Week. I was late in making the reservation for a rental car, and it was already impossible to rent one anywhere, but I found this tour and everyone in the family had a great time without a car! 😊

GW前半で3泊4日の旅行でした。レンタカーの予約手配がおそくなり、もうどこも借りられない状態でしたが、こちらのツアーを見つけて、車なしで家族全員が楽しめました＼(^o^)／

Visit to the butterfly park was surprisingly wonderful but just about 15 minutes self tour would be really a deadly rush. Sufficient time to fool around the Churaumi Aquarium after the light lunch. Thumbs up ! Pineapple park tour was related products hard sell yet a good try. The last stop was merely a stop. After all, visit to the Churaumi Aquarium alone worth the value of the whole tour.

The weather was pleasantly warm for April, and there were a total of 17 people on the tour. Throughout the trip, I was comforted by the attentiveness of our guide, Touma. The driver, Chinen, was also very friendly, which contributed to the great atmosphere of the tour. The first stop was Kouri Island, a beach where nature still remains. Although the beach season hadn't started yet, we were able to get close to the sandy shore and feel the waters of Okinawa.

This was a return visit to the Churaumi Aquarium, but on the way, I was able to see the emerald green sea shining from the car window and take photos, which left me in awe of its beauty. The photo is of our guide in front of the entrance to the Churaumi Aquarium, and he had a very cheerful expression. Inside the vehicle, he played the sanshin and sang famous Okinawan songs (like "Asada" and "Nada Sousou"), and he shared stories about Okinawa while mimicking his grandmother's voice, providing excellent service and being a wonderful person.

I have experienced various guides and tour conductors both domestically and internationally, but those who have a genuine desire to host their guests leave a lasting impression and make the travel memories even more profound. One disappointment was that our stay at Ryukyu Village was short, and we could only see one event (a 10-minute Ryukyu dance). It would have been better if the time allocation allowed us to see at least two events. On the way back, we were able to make a stop at Makishi Park, which was not listed in the itinerary, so that was a nice bonus. I would love to participate in another tour with such wonderful staff. Thank you very much.

お天気は４月にしては暑いくらいの好天、総勢17名のツアーでした。終始ガイド・とうまさんの気配りに癒されました。ドライバーさん(知念さん)も愛想の良い方で、ツアーの雰囲気が良かったです。最初に訪れた古宇利島は未だ自然が残る海水浴場で、海開きはしていませんでしたが、砂浜まで近づいて沖縄の海を感じることができました。美ら海水族館は再訪になりますが、道中エメラルドグリーンに輝く海を車窓から見る&写真を撮ることができ、その美しさに感動しました。写真はガイドさんで美ら海水族館の入口前で記念撮影したものですが、とてもにこやかな表情で、車内では三線を引きながら沖縄の名曲(童歌・あさだ・涙そうそう等)を歌ってくれたり、出身地のおばあの声を真似して沖縄の話をしてくれたり、サービス満点で素敵な方でした。国内外でいろいろなガイドさん・添乗員さんの接客を経験していますが、やはりお客様をもてなす気持ちがある方は印象に残り、旅の思い出をより一層感慨深いものにしてくれると思います。残念だったのは、琉球村の滞在時間が短くて、イベントが一つ(琉球舞踊10分)しか見られなかったこと。せめて二つ位イベントが見られるように時間配分をしてくれるともっと良かったと思います。帰路、日程表に記載がない宿泊先近くの牧志公園でも途中下車できたので、それも助かりました。またこういう素敵な乗務員のツアーに参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The time allocation was just right, allowing us to visit various places, and I was very satisfied with the cost of the bus tour! We spent 20 minutes on Kouri Island, which was enjoyable enough to play on the beach in April. We also had plenty of time to leisurely explore the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium! For lunch, I thought we might not have much time, but I was able to enjoy delicious taco rice while watching the fish at the aquarium! The subsequent visit to the Okashi Goten was great, with lots of snacks available, and we had 30 minutes to enjoy some tastings. Personally, I found the final stop at Ryukyu Mura to be very fun! We could see various types of traditional houses, there were cows and goats, and we could take pictures with them. The area was filled with greenery, flowers, and butterflies, making it very rich in experiences. There were also activities like painting shisa, weaving, and trying out the sanshin, which were all incredibly fun and highly recommended! The guide for this bus tour, Ms. Higa, was charming and taught us folk songs and dances, as well as performed kamishibai, so we were never bored during the travel time! I would love to participate again. Thank you!

時間配分もちょうどよく、色々まわれて、金額的にも大満足なバスツアーでした！
古宇利島は20分でしたが、4月なので足を付けて浜で遊ぶ程度には楽しかったです。美ら海水族館も自由にゆっくり回れました！お昼ごはんも、あまり時間がないのかと思ってましたが、水族館で魚を見ながらおいしいタコライスを食べることができました！その後の御菓子御殿は、たくさんのお菓子があり、30分なので試食も楽しめました。個人的には最後の琉球村が、とても楽しかったです！昔の色んな種類の民家を見ることが出来たり、牛やヤギがいて、一緒に写真を撮れたり、緑や花や蝶もたくさんでとにかく盛りだくさんでした。シーサーに色を塗ったり、機織りものをしたり、三線を体験できるコーナーなどもあり、すごく楽しかったしおすすめです！
今回のバスツアーのガイドの比嘉さんも可愛らしく、民謡や、踊りを教えてくれたり、紙芝居をしてくださったり、盛りだくさんなので、移動時間もまったく飽きることがなかったです！
また参加したいです。ありがとうございました！

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful seas of Okinawa, such as Manza Beach and Kouri Island.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, I had three hours of free time and had a great time.

However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have enough time at Nago Pineapple Park.

Overall, I was able to enjoy the nature of Okinawa sufficiently.

万座毛や小宇利島など沖縄の美しい海を満喫できました。

美ら海水族館では、３時間のフリータイムもあり十分楽しめました。

ただナゴパイナップルパークでの滞在時間が足りなかったのは少し残念でした。

総合的に考えると十分沖縄の自然を楽しめました。

There were many foreign tourists on the tour. The pickup in the morning was late and past the scheduled time, so I contacted the tour company, but it was outside of business hours and went to voicemail. Other foreign tourists who were waiting seemed anxious as well. After arriving, the guide apologized for the delay due to traffic, but I hope it would be possible to get in touch even in the morning.

The tour content was great as we were able to visit all the places we wanted to go. The Churaumi Aquarium was also enjoyable.

外国人の方が多いツアーでした。朝の出発の迎えが遅く、指定時間を過ぎていたのでツアー会社に連絡しましたが営業時間外とのことで留守電でした。同じように待っていた外国人の方も不安そうにされていました。到着後、渋滞で遅くなったとガイドさんが謝られていましたが、朝でも連絡が取れるといいな、と思います。

ツアー内容は、行きたい所に全て行けたのでよかったです。 美ら海水族館も楽しかったです。

The first hour was spent on pickups at several locations around the hotel. Well, it couldn't be helped, but I was quite frustrated at first since I boarded from Kencho-mae. Especially since it was multilingual, most of the other passengers were Chinese and a few groups of Koreans. However, it seemed that many were used to traveling abroad, so there were no particularly bad manners, and I didn't have an unpleasant experience.

The tour itself was efficient, covering central Okinawa and the Churaumi Aquarium well. The bus had Wi-Fi, so it was nice to be able to check information online during the ride. Particularly at the Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time, so I was able to fully enjoy it. On the other hand, the Nago Pineapple Park was more disappointing than I expected. However, the pineapple ice cream recommended by the tour guide was really delicious.

朝の1時間はホテルを何か所がまわるピックアップに費やされました。まあ、仕方がないのですが、県庁前から乗車したので最初は結構イライラしました。とくに多言語対応でしたので、私たち以外はほとんどが中国人と数組の韓国人でした。まあ、海外旅行慣れしている方が多かったらしく、特にマナーが悪いということもなく不愉快な思いはしませんでした。
ツアー自体は内容や行程も沖縄中部や美ら海水族館を効率よく回ることができ、バスはwifiもあるので移動中はネットで情報を確認したりできてよかったです。特に美ら海水族館ではたっぷり時間をとっていただいてあったので十分満喫できました。反対に、ナゴパイナップルパークは予想以上にちゃちなものでがっかりでした。ただし、添乗員さんお勧めのパイナップルアイスは本当においしかったです。

The tour was a bit of a rush.

For the butterflies, we had to eat our Okinawa Soba very fast to get some time to enjoy them. No guide or signs to guide you, it was hard to know where to go.
The Aquarium was really nice, there was enough time to enjoy it.

The Pineapple Park visit was really disappointing : we had a 5 minutes tour in Japanese to end up in the park's shop. We saw basically nothing of the park, the point here was to buy stuff.

The Ryukyu Mura was a bit more interesting, but the point here was also to buy things (Okinawa Glass).

The tour is really made and thought for Japanese tourists, a pamphlet in English explaining in detail the program would have been nice and helpful, as well as a guide who could speak a bit of English.

This tour is useful to go to the Aquarium, but aside from that, not interesting at all for non-Japanese speaking tourists.

The bus was on schedule. The tour price was reasonable. The tour guide and driver were courteous. My family spent a whole day enjoying the world’s best - Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Thank you.

It was cloudy with occasional light rain, and the weather wasn't very favorable, but we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. It would have been perfect if the aquarium visit had been 30 minutes longer. The guide was very cheerful and fun, which was great!

曇り時々小雨、夕方から晴れと天候にはあまり恵まれませんでしたが、素敵な景色が楽しめました。水族館の時間があと30分長ければベストでした。ガイドの方がとても明るくて楽しい方で良かったです‼︎

There were many Chinese participants in the tour, and they didn't respect the schedule. They casually walked and smoked in places where only one person could pass, and they easily cut in line for the restroom, among other things. Overall, these issues were too noticeable, and I can't say I fully enjoyed the sightseeing spots. Also, although I received a restaurant discount coupon for the Churaumi Aquarium from the tour guide, I couldn't use it because it was outside of the valid hours. I really wanted clearer time guidance.

However, for those without a car or time constraints, I think it's good that they provide a rough tour of the sightseeing spots.

ツアーの参加者も中国人が多く、
時間は守らない、1人しか通れないような
観光場所で平気で歩きタバコをする、トイレも
10人位平気で抜かすetc...とにかく、そういった事が
目につきすぎて、観光場所を十分に楽しめたとは言えませんでした。また、美ら海水族館のレストラン割引券を添乗員からもらった物の、時間外で使えず。しっかり時間案内して欲しかったです。

でも、車がない、時間もない方には大まかにざっくり観光スポットを回ってくれるので良いと思います。

We had a great time although the guide spoke only japanese (and the Bus video was in chinese).
The aquarium is just great, the other stops were nice but not too important ;)
If you are hungry westeners like us, bring something to eat (or buy at the aquarium cafe) because lunch will not fill your stomach.

For this price I can highly recommend the tour :)

My mother participated in a tour that included the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium for her first trip to Okinawa. She was of course moved by the aquarium, but she was also very happy with the butterflies at the Ryukyu Castle Butterfly Garden. The price was reasonable, and I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to the elderly.

母が初めての沖縄旅行のため、美ら海水族館があるツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館はもちろん感動してましたが、それ以外に琉球城蝶々園の蝶にとても喜んでました。
金額的にもお手頃で、子供からお年寄りまで楽しめるツアーと思います。

This is a standard optional tour in Okinawa. I recommend it if you're visiting Okinawa for the first time. The aquarium is impressive and very enjoyable.

こちらは普通に沖縄の定番オプショナルツアーですね。初めて沖縄を訪問で有ればオススメです。水族館は見応え有りとても楽しいです

I was very satisfied with the tour that took us to major sightseeing spots like Manza Beach, Kouri Island, and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Among them, the kindness of the guide and the driver left a strong impression on me. Since we were staying at a hotel not in Naha City, we planned to leave at Nago Pineapple Park and head to our hotel from a nearby bus stop. However, the guide and driver kindly researched a closer bus stop for us and offered to take us there since we would pass by it on our way back. It was a tour that moved me with the stunning views of Okinawa and the warmth of its people. Thank you very much.

万座毛、古宇利島、美ら海水族館など主要の観光地を巡れるツアーで、とても大満足でした。中でも、ガイドさんとドライバーの方の優しさがとても印象的でした。私達は、那覇市内でないホテルに宿泊する為、ナゴパイナップルで離脱し、その付近のバス停からホテルへ向う予定でしたが、ガイドさんとドライバーの方が、より近いバス停をわざわざ調べて下さり、帰路にそのバス停を通るから、と親切に送って下さいました。沖縄の絶景と人の温かさに感動したツアーでした。本当に有難うございました。

I was picked up right from my hotel and dropped there back on time. It was a hassle free experience where we did not need to worry about ticket purchase and transportation. It covers a about 4-5 different places but the highlight for us was the dolphin show near Churaumi aquarium. Do not miss it!

The only downside was that though there was a tour guide in the bus, she barely spoke any english. But she gave us an audio guide with commentary in english.

Overall, I did not feel rushed at any of the tourist spots and felt that we made good use of our time. I highly recommend this tour.

I participated with three friends. There were only a few Japanese people, including us. The guide was also a foreigner. The tour was conducted in both English and Japanese, and key points were covered with guide tour earphones. I appreciated the straightforward guidance without too much interference. Thank you, Dominic. Since there were many foreigners, I was slightly worried about whether we could stick to the schedule, but there was no need for concern.

友人3人で参加しました。日本人は私達を含めても数人。ガイドも外国人でした。英語と日本語でのガイドで要所はガイドツアーイヤホンでした。あっさりとしたガイドで干渉されないところが良かったです。ドミニクさんありがとうございました。外国人が多いので時間どおり工程をこなせるか、若干心配でしたが、心配無用でした。

For a first-time visitor to Okinawa like myself, this was a fun choice. At the aquarium I saw the dolphin show and took part in the deep sea experience, so was running around a bit but was pleased. I wasn't expecting much from the soba lunch, but it was tasty.

<Translated by Veltra.com>

Great price for tour with four stops. Realize pressed for time so stop at glass factory really short. Free soba lunch was a nice bonus. Only major complaint was couldn't get recorded tour to work and couldn't hear commentary over PA system.

I participated with my 6-year-old child. I wanted to visit Kouri Island and Churaumi Aquarium even though I don't have a driver's license, and I found this tour while searching. On the day of the tour, we encountered beautiful seas and scenery with some sunny moments. On the bus, we were entertained by the guide's charming performances and wonderful songs, which kept us engaged. Lastly, we stopped at Ryukyu Village, which was close to our accommodation. Although we parted ways partway through, thank you for seeing us off so kindly until the end.

6歳の子供と2人で参加しました
免許がないけど古宇利島も美ら海もいきたいと探した所このツアーを見つけました
当日は晴れ間もあり綺麗な海と景色に出会えました
バスの中ではガイドさんの可愛らしいパフォーマンスや素敵な歌で飽きませんでした
最後に寄った琉球村が宿泊先から近く途中で離団しましたが最後まで快く見送ってくださりありがとうございました

It was a very fulfilling and amazing trip! My main destination was the Churaumi Aquarium, but the other stops were also interesting. The itinerary was packed, and I enjoyed the tour guide's stories during the bus rides!

とても充実していて、最高の旅になりました！
お目当ては美ら海水族館だったのですが、他の立寄りスポットも面白かったです。
盛りだくさんな内容で、バス移動中の添乗員さんのお話も楽しめました！

We wanted a nice day out with our (now) 4 year old to celebrate her birthday. Since it was our first trip to Okinawa we decided to hire a car rather than rent a car to ensure the day out went as smoothly as possible. Our driver arrived a few minutes before hand and helped us load all of our gear and get our daughter's car seat installed properly. She spoken English well and knew the areas where we had decided to visit for the day (Butterfly Garden & Churaumi Aquarium). Everything went great and everyone well enjoyed the trip.
