Things to do in Cape Manzamo

Amazing experience! This is not an English speaking tour so be warned but it was still worth it and the guide tried their best to communicate with us. There is a phone guide in English and other languages with audio as well so you can still follow along. Great way to see many Okinawa tourist spots in one day without handling all the driving yourself.

Overall, it is highly recommended and very suitable for travelers who don’t want to drive in Okinawa! The tour leader can communicate in both Chinese and Japanese, and will clearly inform you of the gathering time, location, and attraction performance times, but he will not introduce much about the attractions. The stay time at the aquarium is two and a half hours, and it takes almost 30 minutes to get to and from the parking lot, which is a bit tight. Ryukyu Village feels that the time can be shortened further. It is obvious that some areas inside are not under maintenance.

I visited Okinawa once on a school trip, and this was my first time traveling on my own. I thought it would be a lot of work to get around on our own for a 4-night, 5-day trip, so I booked a tour. I thought most of the people there would be foreigners, but there were quite a few Japanese people as well. If you choose a tour that includes tickets, the tour guide will buy and distribute them in advance, so you don't have to go through the trouble of buying them yourself on site, so I recommend it. The Churaumi Aquarium has the longest free time, but the parking lot is far from the museum, so it's best to return early. There is no set lunch time, so you can eat at the shops and other places frequently, or you can buy food and drink on the bus, so it's a good idea to buy it and eat it slowly on the bus! There were snack and restaurant restaurants at Pineapple Park, Churaumi Aquarium, and Manzamo. You can buy souvenirs at Okashi Goten, but some items are not available, so I recommend buying what you want on the spot! It was super fun 😻

Most of the instructors can communicate in Chinese, which will make people feel more at ease. There are many snorkelers, and the Qingdong photo area is very crowded, which is a pity. The instructor will help take photos and videos, and will send photos when you get ashore. There are many fish + coral reefs on the seabed. Diving is also fun, I recommend you to do it if you have the chance to come to Okinawa.

Coach Yaya is very cheerful and lively, very good. She teaches and communicates in Chinese during diving, which makes people feel very at ease. The Qingdong photo area is very crowded, which is a pity. The coach will help take photos and videos, and will transfer the photos to the mobile phone when we get ashore. There are many fish + coral reefs on the seabed, and diving is fun. It would be a pity not to do it when you come to Okinawa.

very good experience!!!! the tour is nice and the tour guide is awesome!!

The Chinese tour guide is very attentive and can tell historical stories about each scenic spot and also share the nearby food.

It was a really good tour. At first, I was worried that it would be boring and trivial, but he calmly shared small information about Okinawa, and when he passed by a place that seemed historically or culturally important, he stopped explaining and let me see it with my own eyes. I think it would have been better if I had done it on the first day. I learned a lot of things I didn't know about Okinawa. In the case of Churaumi, he arrived on time for the dolphin show that I might have missed, so I enjoyed it! Highly recommended.
