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!

Okinawa is vast, and traveling between tourist attractions by public transportation takes a long time waiting for buses, plus the long travel distances. If you're not driving yourself but still want a simple and relaxing way to explore, this tour is a comfortable option. The guide, Ru Ru, loves chatting with everyone, and Chinese is a common language, making for a great overall experience. Basically, this itinerary focuses on the aquarium, with a total duration of three hours, which is sufficient for this destination. However, the time spent at Manza Cape and the other stop is relatively shorter, just enough for taking a photo before getting back on the bus. Please read the prospectus carefully before traveling!

December isn't the most active time for whales, so seeing them isn't guaranteed every day. We were lucky to see them, but you'll mostly just see the whales fluke, spout, and fins. You can see them much more clearly at an aquarium. It's very cold, windy, and intermittently rainy at sea in winter, and you're out at sea for a long time, so be sure to wear enough clothing. Also, the waves are sometimes quite big, so be sure to take motion sickness medicine.

The bus pick up was on time. The bus is clean & comfortable with wifi. The driver drives safely. the tour is organized well with ample time for each attraction & not rushed. it is best to take this tour if you don’t have a car to go around Okinawa.

Whales are so impressive! I turned my head and saw half of one right next to the boat, I didn't even have time to record it. Even though it was windy and rainy, it was totally worth seeing. A reminder to everyone, the order is with CeruleanBlue but when you confirm your order, double check which company the outbound journey is with - it might be a different one.

Good 1 day trip to see fun places in southern Okinawa. generous time buffered. my favorite was the glass boat experience. we didn’t have enough time to go to the aquarium - it’s not included in itinerary.

Upon arrival, I was able to purchase tickets and use them immediately through Klook. I received the voucher in a very short time. When entering, I simply had the staff scan the QR code. It was quick and convenient. I highly recommend purchasing admission tickets this way to avoid queuing at the ticket office.

It rained the day before participating in the Okinawa glass boat underwater sightseeing tour, and I was worried that I might not be able to see the fish. However, the weather was beautiful, and the sky cleared up on the day of participation. When I arrived at the West Marine counter, there was a sign showing the clarity of the water and the sway of the waves for passengers to refer to. After boarding, passengers can first enjoy the scenery near the shore from the top deck. When the boat reaches a deeper area, the staff will prompt passengers to go to the bottom level to see the fish, and finally, they can go to the middle level to feed the fish. This activity is very suitable for families to participate in together.
My package also included a seafood bowl on the Mobydick ship, with several kinds of fresh sashimi to eat as much as you like. Perhaps because it wasn't peak season and there were fewer people that day, enjoying lunch quietly was particularly relaxing.
