Okinawa Prefecture
Okinawa, Japan’s southern island paradise, is famed for its turquoise seas, subtropical climate, and rich Ryukyu heritage. Beyond its stunning beaches, the main island offers world-class diving, vibrant coral reefs, and historic sites like Shuri Castle and the Nakijin and Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. Visitors can explore traditional villages, lush forests, and unique cultural experiences year-round. Okinawa’s food scene is equally captivating, featuring local specialties such as Okinawa Soba and slow-braised Rafutee. With its blend of natural beauty, history, and warm island hospitality, Okinawa promises an unforgettable journey in every season.

Fantastic 5.0
The three of us caught nearly 20 fish, and we couldn't even finish them all. The captain wasn't as fierce as some reviews suggested; it seemed more like a language barrier. He immediately helped replace broken lines and damaged equipment. At the end, he smiled, waved, and said goodbye. The only slight drawback was the nearby restaurant he recommended, where we waited an hour for our food, but processing fish is inherently time-consuming, so it's understandable.

The selected date didn't have enough people and the tour was canceled, but customer service actively contacted me and gave me other date options. I really wanted to fish, so I still went fishing on the morning of my departure! The Sanchong Port Wharf is near the airport, so I was able to make it to the airport in time. The fishing spot is very close to the airport, so you can constantly see planes taking off. The captain and a young man on the boat were both very nice!! The initial spot didn't have any fish, so they took us to another location to find fish. The young man, seeing that I was fishing alone and worried I wouldn't catch anything, even helped me catch one so I could get a feel for it. As a result, I later caught five fish myself, and the fish that the other people on the boat caught were all very big and beautiful! It's also very beautiful; the sea in Okinawa is truly beautiful. I really liked this trip!

December isn't the most active time for whales, so seeing them isn't guaranteed every day. We were lucky to see them, but you'll mostly just see the whales fluke, spout, and fins. You can see them much more clearly at an aquarium. It's very cold, windy, and intermittently rainy at sea in winter, and you're out at sea for a long time, so be sure to wear enough clothing. Also, the waves are sometimes quite big, so be sure to take motion sickness medicine.

Our guide, Sebastian, is incredibly kind. He meticulously checked our boot sizes to ensure we were comfortable. Upon arrival, he tirelessly walked with us, providing detailed explanations, so we could see more insects, coconut crabs, and stars! Thanks to Sebastian, I saw my first scorpion. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories with our children! I highly recommend the Jungle Night Tour – be sure to experience it!

Choosing the one-hour "Airport + Kokusai Street" route this time was really fun! Instructor banana Chari 🍌 is super hyped, super enthusiastic, and super friendly~ No problem communicating in English, and Chinese is also good. There's even a Chinese video explanation, which made us feel very safe. He was good at creating a lively atmosphere and was very attentive throughout the whole trip, taking tons of photos for us, and even had photos printed for us, and AirDropped all the photos to us directly. The service was truly top-notch!

Gorilla Kart, thank you so much for an excellent fun filled tour! My son and I made a bucket list trip to Okinawa and this brought out our inner child. We had so much fun and Ichii you made us feel safe and took so many great memorable photos! The company provides a costume (if you wish to wear) and lockers for storage. They also euip each kart with a small pouches to hold passports, driving licenses, and phones. The kart functions and driving instructions are clear and easy to follow, along with the hand signals while on the road! We chose the Airport /Beach route and I am glad we did! We arrived in Okinawa late night, so to have a pit stop along our Kart route at the beach and see planes landing and taking off was beautiful! Thank you again for such a memorable and fun filled tour Ichii!!

Taku is a nice guy, he explains things separately to Koreans and is kind and passionate. I had a lot of fun and he took great pictures, so I plan to use him again next time. Highly recommended.

My 11-year-old daughter loves sharks and we came to Okinawa specifically to swim with whale sharks. She successfully experienced the fun of diving and saw real whale sharks up close! Thanks to the kind Alen, the instructor, who explained everything in Chinese, making us feel very secure. I recommend renting a camera; the instructor will help take photos and videos, and you can take the memory card with you afterward. A wonderful memory! 👍🏻

This experience was top notch and the highlight of our trip. The instructors were fantastic and were incredibly kind to our children. They had English instructions which were very helpful. I was worried it would be too scary but take off was gentle and a lot of fun! I would highly recommend it and would do it again! 10/10 experience for sure.
