Review of Okinawa’s $50 north-coast bus tour, with Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Island, Pineapple Park, Cape Manzamo, and practical tips.
“Excellent tour. Helpful guide, great driver! Only wish the audio volume was louder on the handset.”
See goldfish transformed into living art at Tokyo’s Art Aquarium Museum GINZA, with dramatic lighting, music, scent, and seasonal displays.
“This experience was amazing. It was definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend it!”
See Okinawa’s aquarium, Ryukyu Village, Manza Cape, and a sea-view cafe on a practical bus tour from Naha.
“The tour guide was barely understandable, partly because of the mask he always wore. His English skills were pretty poor. His monotonous way of speaking was also a pain. We didn't get any important info!”
Review of Okinawa’s 11-hour Churaumi Aquarium tour, with Cape Manzamo, Bise trees, American Village, lunch, transport, and practical tips.
“Il y avait trop d’endroit à visiter pour la même excursion. J’aurai préféré avoir plus de temps à chacune des activités et avoir moins d’activités. La visite du village et l’endroit des vieux arbres devrait être retiré à mon avis. J’ai apprécié les autres endroits. Le bus était propre et ponctuel. La guide était gentille.”
Explore Okinawa by private car, from Shurijo Castle and Kouri Island to Churaumi Aquarium, with flexible pickup and an English-speaking guide.
“Jan was an incredible guide that went above and beyond to make our honeymoon unforgettable. He knew the area of Okinawa insanely well and could make very good recommendations just from talking with you. If you are second guessing this you need to book him now he will be better than any tour guides in the area.”
Review of Enoshima Aquarium near Kamakura, with jellyfish, deep-sea life, Sagami Bay exhibits, practical access tips, and value advice.
“Good exhibits but they were apparently closing early for a private event and this wasn’t shared in advance so we had to leave early before seeing all the exhibits.”
