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.

We had a fantastic private tour with Takashi. He was a super great guide. We went kayaking down a small mangrove river, then he made us lunch at great location with a fantastic view. After that we went on a small trek on a jungle path where we went swimming near a small waterfall in the jungle. Superb experience all of it.

We saw that the next day was going to be sunny and decided to book this experience. Our group was led by Masutani Ryoma-san and Yuuri-san. They are amazing, super fun team and very knowledgeable. The entry to the pumpkin cave is a leisurely kayak. The cave itself was so amazing, and the guides shared so many interesting facts about this holy site. theres some climbing inside the cave, but we felt safe the whole time. it was such an enjoyable experience and we recommend anyone visiting Miyako to try it. Thank you Ryoma, Yuuri and the Adventure Pipi team. 🫶

Our instructor, Nana, will take photos and send them to you! Thank you for the detailed explanation♪ I learned a lot about mangroves.

Sebastian is a great guide and made sure we were comfortable and entertained. All the equipment in the necessary was provided by the tour and the pickup from the hotel made everything all the more convenient.

We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Two adults and a child could fit in the same kayak. The aerial photography experience was great, and the staff was very polite. We communicated using phone translation. There was parking available, indoor changing rooms, and an outdoor water supply for rinsing off.

My wife and I enjoyed this activity very much. We were guided by Mr. Yoshi who despite his limited English ensured that we had a safe and very enjoyable experience. The kayak is well maintained and comfortable. The river is calm and was easy to navigate. We managed to explore the mangrove forest and cave openings. The pace was good and we felt very relaxed and peaceful throughout. At the turnaround point, we landed our kayak for a simple tea break. Mr. Yoshi helped us look for the mud skippers and hermit crabs. We did not have to bring our our mobile phones as Mr. Yoshi help took the photos which he shared with us after the trip. There is also toilet and washing facility at the start/end point of the tour. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel near Maesoto Beach. Highly recommended if you want to see nature in a different way and want to try kayaking!!

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!
