gorgeous views and super fun! instructors were very thorough and knowledgeable we were kayaking in no time! they also provide phone protectors and a container for your keys! make sure to bring water and a change of clothes/towel!! sunglasses and hat as well!
It was an amazing experience! The tour guide was very patient and warm — took A LOT of photos of us too! We really had a great time. Suncreen’s a MUST! and lots of water. One of our Okinawa highlights!
Miku was amazing today, we saw and found many wonderful things on our tour. Mud skippers, crabs, turtles, fish. it was a lovely relaxed afternoon, I would highly recommend for people of all ages and those that love nature ❤️
what a fantastic experience. I did this with my 2 grown sons and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide was Japanese speaking which we expected but he was still able to communicate with us. He took some great pictures and video and shared them for no extra cost. I highly recommend this.
The tour guide was enthusiastic, introducing the scenery along the way and the mangroves. It's beginner-friendly, and you get a full two hours of paddling, making it a great value. The tour guide also helps take beautiful photos along the way, highly recommended. The kids were also very happy and wanted more.
great experience, we were very late and they were ok with us arrive late, nice quick easy kayak around the river and the host took photos and sent it to us afterwards.
First of all, the night before the experience, when I called to say that I wanted to change the time due to some circumstances, they agreed and were very helpful. Also, in the confirmation email after the reservation was completed, it clearly stated that the lower half of the body would get wet, but I was embarrassed to think that it would be as wet as rowing boats, so I tried to participate in normal casual clothes, but instead I wore waterproof raincoats. He lent it to me. Of course, I would like to ask those who will use it from now on to avoid this kind of thing, but since it has been done well, I would like to post it! During the experience, they took photos and videos of me rowing and at spots rich in nature, and I was very happy to see that all of them were good photos and videos✨I've posted a few photos, but they took a lot of photos. 📷The time I spent paddling in the quiet afternoon was very elegant and a good memory ♪ It was fun, thank you very much! [About ⭐︎: Everyone has to gather individually for pick-up and drop-off, but I couldn't do it due to the system, so I gave it a 5.]
The staff were really friendly and the mangrove exploration was amazing and fun. I did it with my parents and it wasn't hard and was a good memory.
The guide was really knowledgable and showed us to the wild flora and fauna. The kayaking experience was also fun and his instructions were easy to understand. He also answered some of our questions about the tour.
We had a great trip to the mangroves, which are located right along the city's river. There were two of us and two guides. We were able to take as much time as we needed to see everything. Everything was explained well to us, and we received a flyer with pictures to look at. They also took lots of photos and videos of us for free. We had a lot of fun :)
