Reviews summaryThere are many different kind of fishes in the big huge observation tank, very spectacular. A must visit tourist attraction in Okinawa. Joined Klook to visit this place and tour guide 芊芊is very well versed in the history and shared it with us. Thumbs up for Klook!
Such a smooth and enjoyable day tour! Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium was definitely the highlight—seeing the massive whale sharks up close was unforgettable. Cape Manza had stunning ocean views, perfect for photos. The bus was comfortable, schedule was well-paced, and everything was hassle-free. Highly recommended if you want to explore Northern Okinawa in one day!
Ms. Qian, the tour guide, led us through a pleasant day! This trip didn't involve self-driving, so we joined a day tour. The northern attractions were very appealing and were some of the most worthwhile places to visit in Okinawa. The tour members were all punctual in arriving at the departure time. Although the drive was long, the tour guide enlivened the atmosphere and carefully introduced the history, precautions, etc. of each location. The amount of time spent at each attraction was sufficient to see the entire site. However, at the end, in American Village, we chose to return on our own because we felt that the original 40 minutes was not enough. The tour guide also told us that we could choose a bus back to Naha for the return trip. The whole experience was very enjoyable, and with the tour guide's introduction, it is highly recommended. The early bird discount is also much cheaper!
This day trip to northern Okinawa was very fulfilling and efficient, making it an excellent choice for first-time visitors. The itinerary covered the most classic landmarks in the north, saving you the hassle of planning your own transportation. The Churaumi Aquarium was the highlight, and seeing the massive "Kuroshio Sea" tank in person was breathtaking, while the Kouri Island Bridge and the beautiful ocean views were stunning. In addition, Cape Manza's Elephant Trunk Rock showcased the natural power of the Okinawan coast, and the final stop at American Village offered a diverse selection of shopping and dining, providing a relaxing end to the trip. Although the attractions were far apart, and some time was spent on the drive, the tour guide managed the time well, keeping the overall itinerary tight and organized. Overall, this is a high value tour that allows you to see the essence of Okinawa in one go, and is highly recommended for travelers who don't want to drive themselves. A perfect experience!
the meetup place indicated in the description is infront of blue seal but the actual meet up place is across the street so it was confusing. a lot of the places we went to are tourist traps. Most of the tourists you’ll be with are Chinese so the guide will be speaking in Chinese all throughout the trip but I didn’t mind. The tour guide is very energetic and accomodating, she deserves a raise.
Nice trip, great tour guide No.6! You don’t need to get up early in the morning, the meeting point is right in front of Liumao Department Store, and it’s easy to find. Our group's tour guide was Ms. No. 6, a very professional and experienced tour guide. Her explanations were interesting and informative, and she also gave us plenty of reminders about the itinerary. The only thing was that her English was not very good, but because the tour guide had a very good attitude, my group members and I were very willing to help with translation. The tour guide slightly adjusted the duration of the scenic spot stay according to the traffic conditions. We stayed in the Churaumi Aquarium for about 3 hours and 20 minutes. After getting off the bus, we followed the suggestion to buy Agu Pork Burgers for lunch and watch the dolphin show. Then we went to the manatee house and aquarium. There were many people in the aquarium, and it took us just an hour and a half to finish the show. However, there were too many people and we didn't have time to buy any merchandise (but there are also specialty stores around the aquarium on Kokusai-dori). We stayed in the American Village for a very short time in the afternoon, and the restricted parking space was quite far away. After using the restroom at Aeon, we didn't have much time to go around. We could only take a rough walk around. However, we were not very interested in the American Village anyway, so we thought it was okay. The day we participated was a weekday, and there was no traffic jam. We only stopped at Manzamo for 10 minutes, but it took us 7 o'clock to arrive at Ryukyu Department Store. If we planned to go to Makishi Market for dinner, we would not be able to buy ingredients before closing. If there is traffic jam on holidays, the arrival time would probably be even later. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. Three hours is just enough to visit the aquarium. Other tours are shorter and may not provide enough time to watch the dolphin show and exhibitions.
Guide was comprehensive in her explanation of the itinerary & what to expect. She also shared about culture & must-try food in Okinanwa. Itinerary is a little tight tho espically the Churaumi Aquarium (maybe because it was a Friday, it was very crowded ). But overall still highly recommended as it is quite worth the price with all the transport & entrance fees included. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
its a daytrip fullfilling journey, the tour guide was very engaging and the bus transportation is comfortable. the only drawback only the timing allowance while visiting American village its rather too short.
First, praise to the tour guide and driver, they were very polite. The tour guide explained things throughout the trip, and in addition to information related to the attractions, they also shared many stories about life in Okinawa, which was like extra trivia. The weather was great, and after the tour, we walked to the beach next to the aquarium to sunbathe, watching the seawater change from transparent to emerald green to deep blue, which was beautiful. On the way back, there was a traffic jam due to the holiday and highway repairs. We didn't take the highway and instead took the surface road, which gave us a lot more time to see the sea. We arrived at American Village just in time to see the sunset glow, it was a great day.
The itinerary was excellent, and the stops were perfectly timed. The Huang surname tour guide from Daiwa Travel Agency is definitely 100 points! The introduction was very detailed, and they shared their own experiences in Okinawa with everyone. The time allotted for the entire itinerary was sufficient, and the Churaumi Aquarium had a full 3.5-hour stop. Unfortunately, the aquarium can be toured in just two hours. The dolphin show was the most exciting. Finally, the entire driving flow was very smooth and comfortable. The only downside is that the seats were too small, and I couldn't stretch my legs. I hope the bus can be improved. Highly recommend this group tour package.
