Things to do in Hija River

We booked a tour of northern, central, and southern Okinawa, and also went snorkeling. I found the sunset kayaking tour to be the most worthwhile. Watching the sunset over the ocean was truly beautiful and an unforgettable experience. It's the most recommended activity from our 6-day trip. The staff spoke some basic English, and the kayaking instructions were quite simple and easy to understand with gestures. It was simple and fun. The instructor also helped take many photos and was very kind and enthusiastic. The instructor provided waterproof phone cases, but your pants will get wet, so remember to bring a change of clothes.

I absolutely loved the Hoshino Resort seaside cafe itinerary; it was truly beautiful! The tour guide was friendly and professional, making it perfect for those who don't drive but want to visit the suburbs.

It was really convenient to have a Taiwanese instructor who explained the entire process and taught us in Mandarin. Their friendly service and attentive care made us feel especially at ease and safe for our first snorkeling experience. Thank you to the young instructor from Taiwan for your hard work! 😊

Kayaking was a great experience. The fishing trip wasn't ideal, we only caught small fish, but we had F-22s taking off from Kadena Air Base constantly flying overhead, escorting us.

The admission fee is not expensive, making it a great parent-child activity for kids. The park isn't very large, but the environment is clean. You can walk around for about 2-3 hours, and even my 1.5-year-old enjoyed seeing everything. You can pay extra to feed the animals. It's definitely worth visiting again.

The weather was very cool and the experience was a lot of fun. Maki-san can help take photos and explain things. If you ever have the chance to visit, you definitely have to try kayaking.

I didn't expect to see so many animals so close by, and we could even buy food to feed the deer and sheep. My son had a great time! 😊

We couldn't see the sunset due to the typhoon, but we still had a great time and made wonderful memories during the river tour! It was my first time kayaking, but I felt like a pro... so it's not difficult even for beginners.
