It would have been nice if there was a place where we could have lunch! I'm glad that we were able to go to places that are hard to get to without a car! Tickets to the Churaumi Aquarium and Nago Pineapple Park were also included, so it was good value for money for the price! I'd like to participate again when I come to Okinawa.

The tour guide was very attentive in introducing the culture related to Okinawa and the description of each attraction in this trip, so that we can enjoy the tour every time we arrive at the destination ~ Se Naga Island is a great attraction. It would be perfect if the stay could be a little longer.

The meeting point is very good to find, the bus guide lady is very careful and enthusiastic detailed introduction to Okinawa's attractions specialties and humanities, Mr. driver driving technique is also good, the journey is very stable between the attractions will not be very far. Each attraction will carefully inform the stop and meeting point boarding time, Okinawa attractions are really beautiful and worth taking pictures everyone is also very cooperative and punctual, the only small drawback is the time to eat sashimi in the market for 40 minutes, Personally, I found it too rushed to enjoy the food well suggested extending to an hour dining would be more perfect. Also the outlet mall is really too big a trip to stroll an hour and a half is not enough, can only choose specific stores to visit.

We have to fly back to Taiwan in the afternoon, so it’s great to take this half-day tour, because it’s still a 10-minute walk to Shuri Castle without driving by car and taking the monorail.

It departed from near the hotel and was picked up at the airport, so it was perfect for the last day of my trip to Okinawa. At Okinawa World, we were just running out of time because we were watching the show, visiting the caves, and eating. It was muggy inside the cave.

A very interesting place with many novel experiences. You can draw flowers, plants and creatures by yourself, and they will appear on the scene after scanning. There are also marine creatures that can be drawn and will appear in the ocean world after scanning.
