Had a great one day tour with Hip Hop bus (Jumbo tours) booked via GetYourGuide with a tour co-ordinator who ensured a smooth pace and instructions to get the most out of the each stop. The timing and pace was good, and even included a complimentary dessert at the beniimo shopping stop. This went much more smoothly than the Funpass tour of southern Okinawa I had taken with Klook that was without a co-ordinator, which inevitably had hiccups with a Non communicative driver. I also liked that this tour included all the admission fees, vs the Klook funpass which required you to buy your own ticket and line up, even with QR codes, taking time away from your enjoyment. It’s too bad with these tours that you don’t get any commentary on Okinawa itself, guess will have to read up on that on my own but activity-wise, this tour was good to get a great overview of northern Okinawa.
Good way to go to famous places if you don't have a car, tour guide spoke perfect english and gave clear instructions. I booked direct on their website. I recommend.
The guide onboard is so gentle and kind, i reccomend this bus
Excellent bus tour in Okinawa! The itinerary was well organized, and the timing at each of the five locations was perfect. Our tour guide was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, making the trip enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Okinawa’s highlights in a comfortable and efficient way.
Not bad and I don’t know yet the whole trip
Such a fun day trip! Everything was planned, timed and paid for in advance (tickets to aquarium, pineapple park etc which made it very easy and efficient. You get to see a lot in one day and it doesn’t feel too rushed. They were very friendly and would definitely recommended and honestly take again!
Overall, it’s a great tour. However the aquarium was super packed, we could have definitely used an additional hour at the aquarium. The bus was clean and comfortable.
Very fun day out! Tour guide was nice and it was very organised. Recommended and good value for money!
I was at the meeting point in time and bus never showed up not even after a whole hour. there was no one to talk to with that tour company 😕. Very poor not recommended
Awesome day tour. Not too long but not too short. Tour guide was amazing too with Japanese and English translations. Wasn’t rushed at all and had ample time at each location.
