Tours de Southeast Botanical Gardens

I really have to give a big shout-out to Director Mou and the driver on August 25th. That day was actually the eve of a typhoon, and many areas in the north had issued warnings and canceled their plans. Our central Japan itinerary, including the Kadena Air Base, also had its flight training canceled. We received storm warnings upon arriving in Nago and other areas. However, thanks to Director Mou's flexible arrangements and the warm cooperation of our handsome driver, all outdoor activities were scheduled for the morning. After noon, all activities were indoors, so we didn't feel the wind and rain as much and could enjoy shopping with peace of mind. This prevented the typhoon from ruining our trip, making it a very pleasant and wonderful memory. I highly recommend the dedication of this travel agency's staff! ♥️

Tot i que dono a aquesta excursió 5 estrelles, amb una petita salvedat, vam tenir alguns malentesos amb el guia turístic al matí; després d'expressar les meves inquietuds, es va solucionar més tard. Ampliaria la visita a l'American Village potguer mitja hora més, tot i que teníem l'opció de quedar-nos i tornar més tard pel nostre compte. Crec que una hora i mitja seria suficient sense anar amb pressa, i reduiria el Cap 15 minuts i l'aquari 15 minuts més. Per la resta, l'autobús va ser fantàstic i vaig gaudir del dia.

The southern tour itinerary is very comfortable, and the distance between stops is much shorter than in the northern part, so there is almost enough time to explore everywhere. It is very easy to find the tour guide at the meeting point. Mr. Guan's explanations were friendly and interesting, helping us better understand local Okinawan culture. The glass-bottom boat costs an additional 2000 yen, but the underwater views are incredibly clear and well worth recommending. Shopping is a choice between the OUTLET and iias; choosing iias means slightly less shopping time in order to pick up the OUTLET group on the way back, but you get a good ice cream discount coupon. The DMM aquarium is next to iias, and discounted tickets are also available. Since there are many interactive activities inside, it is totally fine to separate from the group and stay longer to explore and play. However, Senagajima island next is truly beautiful with the sunset, and if you get tired of walking, you can soak in the free foot bath to relax.

The timing was perfect, and the meeting point was convenient (right at the Kokusai-dori Kencho-mae Station), which was very helpful for us since we weren't driving in Okinawa. Next time we visit Okinawa, we'll definitely choose other sightseeing bus routes.

The trip took about an hour; you paddle along the mangroves, though the whole thing takes place right in the city—we had expected to go a bit further inland. Still, the trip was very nice; the guide explains a lot along the way and takes photos, which you get for free at the end. This trip isn’t for experienced kayakers, but if you have no experience or just want to go on a nice little kayaking tour, this is the perfect place for you.

Love the kayak with guide Miku. He helped to take many beautiful photos for me & my son. It was an enjoyable activity. The sea fishing was also very fun. There were 5 groups on the boat, most of us managed to catch the fishes. Thank God we did not feel sea sick though it was very windy with occasional choppy waves. Highly recommend this activity if visiting Okinawa!

El més destacat del meu viatge a Okinawa va ser, sens dubte, aquesta excursió en caiac al capvespre! Vaig estar deprimit durant els tres dies que vaig arribar a Okinawa a causa de la pluja, però tan bon punt vaig pujar al caiac, la pluja va parar, va aparèixer un arc de Sant Martí doble i va sortir el sol :) Vaig ser molt feliç mentre veia la posta de sol. No obstant això, abans de sortir al mar, l'aigua a la zona d'embarcament del caiac era molt fosca, cosa que em va fer dubtar una mica a posar-hi els peus (semblava aigua fangosa). En qualsevol cas, les sabates i la roba es mullaran segur, així que assegureu-vos de portar xancletes, i si no us agrada que la roba es mulli, porteu un impermeable! Recomano molt el caiac en un dia de bon temps 🙌🏻

Very nice one day trip, the driver came on time, he was very nice and helpfull and the English level was suficient to understand each other.The car traffic in Okinawa is very slow so be patient:).

Molt satisfets amb l'experiència 🥳 Gràcies al nostre guia de caiac, el senyor Musha, per explicar-nos amb detall com remar, presentar-nos l'ecologia dels manglars, els arbres i els peculiars peixos saltadors de fang i petits crancs del riu Bise. 🙇‍♀️ *Consell: Si veniu aquí, recordeu portar pantalons curts de secat ràpid, si no, us mullareu.* Havíem reservat l'activitat de les 11 del matí. Vam arribar aviat i el personal ens va recordar amb targetes en anglès que portàvem tovalloles i objectes de valor (si oblidàvem la tovallola, en podíem comprar una per 400 iens). Després, ens van preparar les xancletes i els rems. Primer, vam aprendre junts a la vora del riu com remar cap endavant i en diferents direccions, i després vam pujar al caiac. Durant tot el trajecte, vam seguir el guia explorant l'ecologia dels manglars del riu Bise. Si trobàvem alguna dificultat, el guia estava encantat d'ajudar i respondre. 😉✨ Si tenim l'oportunitat, tornarem a venir 🧡🙋🏻‍♀️ També ho recomano a altres turistes.
