What people are saying about Naha

The tour guide, a female whose name I don't remember, was great. I don't speak Japanase so she explained how the tour worked while on the bus, because her English is limited. The destinations have signs in English so I got by on my own just fine. This is not a fully guided tour, meaning; the tour guide doesn't lead you throughout the locations, every one sets off on their own. She said the most important information to me in English before getting off the bus, so I knew when and where to be back. The biggest part of this tour is the aquarium. I found the 3 hours were plenty of time to see the highlights of the aquarium and have lunch. The food at the aquarium isn't great, before the aquarium we stopped by a beach that had shops and I wish I had eaten there instead because it had better options, so keep that in mind. The bus was comfortable and had wifi. Later in the tour there were places that I wasn't interested in, it was fine to stay in the bus, as others guests besides myself did.

I had a wonderful time on the whale watching excursion. The crew was great and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. We did not have a whale jump out of the water or any noteworthy close ups, but we did see a couple whales due to the crew’s string efforts to ensure at least a few sightings. The outfit back at the shop running this excursion was also fantastic. I had some challenges with travel, internet connectivity and communication for this outing. They were patient and very helpful to make sure I made the trip. Definitely go out and enjoy this adventure!!!

Pick up from hotel, nice staff, clear instructions, lot of time for snorkeling and enough time for diving. I'm happy I did it. Great experience. Plus underwater pictures. Amazing.

The guides were really nice. As promised we saw some whales. Even the transport from our hotel and back was included.

The boat ride was fun, the lunch was very tasty, the hot showers felt great and the snorkeling was really good.
