Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium චාරිකා

Although I give this tour 5 star rating, with one caviat, we had some misunderstanding with tour guide in the morning, after addressing my concerns, later it was resolved. I would extend American Village by maybe half an hour, although we had an option to stay and later come back at our own expense. I believe hour and a half would be sufficient without being rushed, I wills cut short Cape by 15 mins and aquarium by another 15 mins. Otherwise bus was great, and I enjoyed the day.

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!

This tour is highly recommended. The guide was very professional. Although we only spent 2.5 hours at Churaumi Aquarium, the guide helped us plan our route so we were able to see the dolphin show and have lunch. Afterward, we saw the main attraction, the whale sharks, and even participated in a whale shark pillow raffle on the way back to the bus. We only had two hours at AEON, but the guide expertly directed everyone to the stores they wanted to visit, allowing us to efficiently complete our shopping and return to the bus. For those who wished to continue shopping, the guide provided instructions on how to return to Naha independently. Also, please pay close attention to the meeting point and time in the morning. Arrange your transportation in advance to arrive on time and avoid being left behind!

Thank you so much! It was a great tour and we had such a great time everywhere we went. Yes, the tour is not in English, but I don’t think that’s a problem. First of all, we’re in Japan, and there are Japanese tourists on the tour as well. The guide and the driver were both very nice, and the guide really did her best to make sure everyone understood the basic instructions so we could all follow along without any problems. It’s a great day trip for anyone who wants to see different places in one day without rushing or having to worry about getting tickets and figuring out the right transportation. Thank you for the amazing day and for the lovely Japanese songs during the trip!
