Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium-turer

Selv om jeg gir denne turen 5 stjerner, med ett lite forbehold: vi hadde en misforståelse med reiselederen om morgenen, men etter at jeg tok opp bekymringene mine, ble det ordnet opp i senere. Jeg ville ha utvidet besøket til American Village med kanskje en halvtime, selv om vi hadde muligheten til å bli igjen og komme tilbake senere på egen regning. Jeg tror en time og et halvt ville vært tilstrekkelig uten at man føler seg stresset; jeg ville ha kortet ned Kappet med 15 minutter og akvariet med ytterligere 15 minutter. Ellers var bussen flott, og jeg koste meg glugg i hel gjennom dagen.

Turen ga utmerket service. Vi kontaktet dem på WhatsApp på forhånd og bekreftet bestillingen to dager før. To dager før turen ble det sendt ut et varsel i Japan om at tyfon nummer 6 ville treffe Okinawa. Personalet koordinerte og sendte oss en melding om kansellering av turen den dagen. Vi fikk valget mellom å utsette eller kansellere. Vi valgte å utsette turen med to dager, og var veldig heldige som fikk en dag med klar himmel. Reisen gikk knirkefritt. Personalet ga detaljert informasjon til hver gruppe, inkludert møtetider og møtesteder, og delte også koordinater på WhatsApp. Turistene den dagen var fra forskjellige land og grupper, men alle var punktlige og oppførte seg veldig bra på turbussen. Vi var veldig fornøyde med denne turen. Den var svært verdifull, komfortabel og ga oss mulighet til å slappe av mens bussen kjørte oss til de forskjellige stedene. Henting og levering til destinasjonen var trygg og effektiv.

Ms. Ishikawa's introduction was incredibly detailed, and having a Chinese-speaking guide was a huge plus! Ms. Ishikawa took great care of everyone and immediately remembered everyone's faces in the group, which was amazing! The overall experience was excellent. Although we only had 30 minutes at Manzamo and Kouri Island, which might be a bit short for those who love taking photos and exploring, it really tested our time management skills. We had a good amount of time at the Churaumi Aquarium. If you want to take your time looking at everything inside, it might still not be enough, but seeing the enormous whale sharks alone made it worthwhile! There's also a dolphin show, opportunities to take photos with dolphins (limited to 15 groups), and even feed them (also limited groups, very popular, so if you want to do it, you need to line up right after the show)! At the Churaumi Aquarium, Ms. Ishikawa gave a very detailed explanation of the aquarium's layout and facilities, and she reminded everyone not to take a wrong turn, or they might get lost! There are three souvenir shops, and they each sell slightly different items. If you see something you like, it's best to buy it right away, because what's available in shop A might not be in shop B, and vice versa! This was my first time booking a one-day tour, and I really enjoyed it! It was very much worth it. Highly recommend!

The stalactites in Gyokusendo Cave at Okinawa World are spectacular, and the traditional Eisa drum performance is also very impressive. If you prefer not to visit the aquarium, you can choose to explore the shopping malls instead. The itinerary is quite flexible and can be adjusted to your preferences. Senaga Island offers beautiful scenery and is a great spot for photos. The seafood at Itoman Fish Market is fresh and delicious, making for a very satisfying meal. The Funpass app provides detailed guided explanations! I highly recommend Klook's Okinawa Southern One-Day Tour. The overall itinerary is rich and well-arranged, saving a lot of time on transportation and transfers, making the entire trip easy and enjoyable.

I had one of the best tour guides, although everyone on my bus spoke Mandarin, ZaoSan took the time to explain me everything. She was very friendly and funny.

The southern tour itinerary is very comfortable, and the distance between stops is much shorter than in the northern part, so there is almost enough time to explore everywhere. It is very easy to find the tour guide at the meeting point. Mr. Guan's explanations were friendly and interesting, helping us better understand local Okinawan culture. The glass-bottom boat costs an additional 2000 yen, but the underwater views are incredibly clear and well worth recommending. Shopping is a choice between the OUTLET and iias; choosing iias means slightly less shopping time in order to pick up the OUTLET group on the way back, but you get a good ice cream discount coupon. The DMM aquarium is next to iias, and discounted tickets are also available. Since there are many interactive activities inside, it is totally fine to separate from the group and stay longer to explore and play. However, Senagajima island next is truly beautiful with the sunset, and if you get tired of walking, you can soak in the free foot bath to relax.

Minami-san is a great guide! She provide explanation for each spot in English and Chinese, which make the whole trip enjoyable! first stop manzomo and Kaori beach has 30 minutes each, while chikauri Aquarium got 3.5 hours, last stop American village 1 hour, can choose to go back without follow the bus!I get to try the banana milk shake at American village stop near information center. Kudos to the driver for the safe drive and punctuality!

Tusen takk! Det var en flott tur, og vi hadde det så hyggelig overalt hvor vi dro. Ja, turen er ikke på engelsk, men jeg tror ikke det er et problem. Først og fremst er vi i Japan, og det er japanske turister med på turen også. Guiden og sjåføren var begge veldig hyggelige, og guiden gjorde virkelig sitt beste for å sørge for at alle forsto de grunnleggende instruksjonene slik at vi alle kunne følge med uten problemer. Det er en flott dagstur for alle som ønsker å se forskjellige steder på én dag uten å stresse eller måtte bekymre seg for å skaffe billetter og finne ut av riktig transport. Takk for den fantastiske dagen og for de nydelige japanske sangene under turen!

En hel dag med mange forskjellige aktiviteter og mye moro. Vi elsket Kouri-øya og akvariet mest; de var spektakulære. Kanskje det hadde vært bra å fortelle folk at de kan ta med badetøy, og å tillate litt mer tid til bading. Mindre tid i kakebutikken. Guiden vår var morsom og veldig kunnskapsrik. Hun var fantastisk.
