There were many unique animals (sloths, otters, groundhogs), which I found very interesting and fascinating. The park's layout was well-planned, and the staff were friendly, making it suitable for family trips.
I'd heard the reviews for Dinosaur Park weren't very good, so I was actually considering skipping it beforehand. Luckily we went! Aside from being a bit hot, Dinosaur Park was so much fun! Before entering, a multilingual team helped us understand the park and helped us choose activities suitable for the kids. We also visited the pineapple garden, rode the ride on the park bus, and listened to nursery rhymes, which the kids enjoyed very much. The DMM Aquarium was especially our kids' favorite, but because we hadn't done our research, we didn't get to feed the otters. We definitely want to go again next time.
The kids were initially quite scared, afraid they wouldn't be able to breathe, but they were overjoyed once they went down and wanted to do it again! The shop was also very kind. Because the day we booked was during a typhoon, we were also quite scared, so we told the shop to try it earlier. We didn't expect to get a reply immediately and even gave us a time to choose from. It was just in time that we were able to go earlier, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to experience such a great water activity due to the typhoon!
The bluest sea I've ever seen, it was so beautiful! The staff were all very friendly. The only downside was that the underwater colors were a bit monotonous because the coral reefs feed on brown algae.
I saw reviews of the park's buffet lunch online, and when I got there, I found it was right to the left of the elevator, with a view of the sea. While the food selection wasn't huge, the taste was good. The ocean show is a must-see after entering the park; I guarantee both adults and children will enjoy it.
First of all, the majority of the audience was male, and some of the guys' expressions and looks at the girls on stage were truly disgusting (I'm a girl). It was like looking at a piece of meat. Girls who are sensitive to this should definitely not come; seeing those awful guys made me want to vomit the whole time. The atmosphere was quite lively, and everyone was encouraged to take photos. Although the beginning and end of the show were a bit drawn out, the scenes during the performance were incredibly rich and varied, with plenty of props and themes provided. The performers came down from the stage at the end to greet each audience member individually; you could high-five them or take photos with them.
It was a very enjoyable day trip. Thanks to our tour guide for sharing information along the way and reminding us not to be late, otherwise we'd have to take an expensive taxi back, which wouldn't be worth it. Regarding the attractions, Manzamo Kouri Island and the Okinawa Aquarium were well-planned in terms of time allocation; we had plenty of time to visit them and get back to the bus. The highlight was the shrimp rice served before entering the aquarium, paired with a limited-edition aquarium soda – it was so much fun! After the meal, we leisurely explored the aquarium and watched the dolphin show. Highly recommended!
Excellent value for money! Given the long drive, it's a worthwhile day trip for travelers without a car. Our guide, Ishikawa, explained everything in detail on the bus (although I accidentally fell asleep a bit 😂). She also carefully reminded passengers getting off at American Village of the return transportation details. Thank you, Ishikawa! Kouri Island's beaches are gorgeous; it would have been even better if we had stayed longer. Highly recommended!
The 20GB bandwidth for 7 days was more than enough. The internet connection was also very stable; I'll definitely choose it again next time I travel abroad.
