Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Made Northern Okinawa Accessible!

Reviewed by: Allen, 2017/10/25

We were in Chatan for diving and a typhoon prevented our plans! The aquarium and other sights sounded so good but we hadn't prepared to rent a car, and thought it was going to not happen...

Fortunately this tour allowed us to see the sights and aquarium in a single day at a reasonable cost. Many more things were provided in the package than expected! The staff was friendly, and everything went off without a hitch.

A note, the tour will be focused on the primary language of the participants, and instructions and timelines are provided in several languages. The language practice was very good though, the tour program reviewed local names, crops, and history.
Our tour guide even went as far to sing a couple folk songs!

A good way to pack a day full of activities.

  • Butterflies!

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

A super bargain for a super place

Reviewed by: Still Just Jerry, 2017/10/17

The tour guide spoke entirely in Japanese so if you are an English speaker, don't expect much from the running commentary. But the trip through the less populated areas of the island, the views from the windows, all were very good. The cost of the entire trip was less than bus fare round trip, and included a couple of interesting side trips. The pineapple farm was pretty, smelled good, and was loaded with interesting gift shops. The butterfly exhibit, where we were provided a simple Soba noodle lunch, was unexpectedly pleasant. Though getting older and a bit run down, the butterflies were gorgeous. I am sure you will read lots about Churaumi elsewhere. Just understand the the pictures I took of the whale shark are the most impressive to all my friends. It is beautiful, and the design of the tank puts him right above you when he swoops by.

You will find yourself wanting to go back, as the 3 hours passes by very quickly. A great tour for a great price. A day well spent!

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Cost Efficient Way to Visit the Aquarium and more

Reviewed by: Victoria L, 2017/10/15

The tour was very punctual and the tour guide was very nice and professional. She even gave out some treats during the long ride between destinations. Overall, great value and comfortable ride to and back from the aquarium. It's a much longer journey time-wise due to the multiple stops to pick up additional customers, but if you're looking for a cost-efficient way to visit the aquarium, this one-day tour is a great option to consider, especially taking into account how many other additional sites are included.

  • Bus driver placing the sign indicating departure time.

  • Admission to aquarium is included in the tour price.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Efficient tour with plenty of time at Aquarium

Reviewed by: Lindsay , 2017/10/10

The tour went smoothly and they didn't waste too much time at the lesser sights (pineapple park and butterfly garden). There was plenty of time at the aquarium, which is the highlight of the tour. The traffic coming back was pretty bad so the drop off time was later than expected.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Great way to see the area and the amazing aquarium

Reviewed by: Janine, 2017/09/20

Booking this trip was really easy and the coach arrived right on time. The lady who was our guide apologised for not being able to speak English but managed to pass on all relevant details without a problem. She was very polite, attentive and friendly.
To make up for not being able to understand the guides commentary we were issued with a personal headset to listen to information. However, I found this frustrating as despite the guide giving an almost constant narrative as we went along we only got a couple of sound bites, most of which were adverts for the goods being sold at the stops. It was also difficult to hear over the guides microphone so we missed some of the information. I feel it was a lost opportunity for me to learn more about where we were.
As is usual with this kind of trip you don't get nearly enough time at each of the stops and I felt if we'd not bothered with the butterfly place and gift shop and used the time else where it would have been better. However the route we took meant you got to see quite a bit of the coast and a bit of countryside which was very nice.
However, the aquarium is the best I've ever seen and the large tank is totally awesome!

Very nice trip. Well organised and professionally managed by local company (Rado). Everything went smoothly. The lady in charge of the tour didn't speak well English but was very kind and attentive to all guests. I recommend it to any foreigner who wants to visit Churaumi aquarium.

Reviewed by: Ocean, 2017/07/29

初めての沖縄でとにかく行きたかったところ!
それは美ら海水族館でした。
沖縄在住の友達の所へお世話になっていたので彼らが仕事中、水族館を満喫しようと思ってたのですが、思いのほか那覇から遠いことと、交通手段が無い?事でした。
バスツアーの中でも美ら海水族館の滞在時間が長いこちらのツアーに申し込み、約4時間、あっという間でしたね。
水族館以外の施設が離れたところにあったりして、水族館をあまり長く堪能してると回りきれなくなってしまいます。
私は巨大水槽に見入ってしまい大慌てでイルカショーへ向かうはめになってしまいました。

We came only for the aquarium but the extra stops at pineapple and butterfly were nice too. The guide could not speak English but we knew that before. She did her best to help us with the tour. Normally we do not book tours on holidays but the regular bus in Okinawa is expensive and not very useful

excellent tour

Reviewed by: Daniel, 2017/05/14

The tour was really nice and made seeing Okinawa easier as the public transport was hard to understand. The aquarium was the only reason we did the tour but the other stops were entertaining as well. The aquarium was really nice and we probably could have used more than 3 hours here but it was just enough and we got to see the dolphin show.

We took one day tour to visit the aquarium and other famous spots. The tour was very well organized , the lead guide was really cheerful , cooperative and gave a great overview of Okinawa and the tour places. Even arranged vegetarian food on request.

The only minor issue we had was that since our pick up point was the first in the morning , we had to go around to all pick up points before starting the tour almost 3 hours after boarding.

Churaumi Aquarium and Sightseeing Bus Tour (from Naha, Ginowan, Chatan and Onna)

Loads of fun disputes the rain

Reviewed by: Jess, 2017/05/07

This tour was great fun. The pineapple park wasn't a long visit but you could see some different types of pineapples growing take a stroll though the garden and enjoy sampling different types of drinks. The butterflies were very big and friendly and would land on people who stopped long enough to look at them. It makes everyone feel like a Disney princess. The aquarium is beautiful with a lot of information on sharks and had a good dolphin show and opportunities to feed the dolphins (if you find the hidden. Spot before it closes) they keep doing the dolphin show even when the weather was really bad. Lunch was provided at the butterfly place and it decent. A nice bowl of udon but not super filling.

Enjoyed this tour very much!

Reviewed by: Aikanysh, 2017/04/06

This tour was very interesting! As we were without a car in Okinawa, with this tour we were able to visit most of Okinawa's famous spots especially Churaumi aquarium and had traditional Okinawan lunch for a very reasonable price, considering the fact that the normal admission fee for the aquarium is around 3000 yen. Moreover, on each stop we received small presents from the tour guide, which is very pleasing! Also there was an English audio guide so we have learned some of interesting facts about Okinawa.
Overall this tour was very good and well organized, everything on time and the tour guide and bus driver were very kind! we have brought our own stroller and the driver was taking it out and folding it back on every stop, for what we are very thankful!
I definitely recommend this tour!

北谷や恩納村から美ら海水族館まで行けるツアーは限られていたので、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
4,800円というお値段で、お昼もついていて、内容充実のツアーで、結果申し込んで大正解でした。
時間通りに迎えにきてもらえましたし、ガイドの方がとても気が利いて、感じが良くて、初めての沖縄を楽しく終えることが出来ました。50名程度のバスも満席でした。
おみやげに頂いたちんすこうやパイナップルシャーベットも嬉しかったです。
皆さん時間通りに行動されていたので、誰かを待って遅れたという、ストレスもありませんでした。
もし迷っていて、1日何しようかなと考えるなら、申し込むことをおすすめします。

We took the bus from Kencho-mae in Naha with our luggages to the Churaumi Aquarium and got dropped off at Rizzan Seapark Tancha Bay. This took care of our transportation between Naha to Onna. Very nice Tour guide and bus driver. We would definitely use Veltra again when we go to Okinawa. Thank you!!
