I'm Korean and came to Okinawa with my husband and parents. We signed up for this Southern Okinawa tour, which only offered one Korean-language tour and was sold out. I don't understand a word of Chinese or Japanese, only a little English, but the guide used a phone app to translate the necessary information, such as "This tour is in Chinese" and "Be careful with your valuables." Departure times at each attraction were clearly indicated on large signs, making it easy to follow. She even double-checked the information. The Chinese explanations were explained through the app, so I could understand most of what was being said! We were able to contact the guide through the Line app. Dropping off at each attraction was great because we had free time, and the bus was incredibly quiet! I was a bit anxious before the tour, but it was a great tour for us since we hadn't rented a car. We especially loved being able to visit the Itoman Market and the outlet mall. I highly recommend the glass-bottom boat! We were traveling in January, so I thought snorkeling would be difficult, but the glass-bottom boat showed us plenty of fish and even saw sea turtles. It was a truly enjoyable tour.
Purchasing and exchanging items was convenient, and the price was slightly lower than on-site. The place was a bit deserted. We fed the birds at the entrance; we had seen a bird show earlier, which was outdoors in the bright sunshine. The staff worked hard to demonstrate for about 20 minutes, and we boarded the mini-train just in time. The kids were only looking forward to riding the mini-train, and as soon as it was over, they wanted to leave. In the end, we didn't explore the rest of the place.
The timing of our swim was perfect, the food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly.
