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.

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is a world-class experience that lives up to the hype. The highlight is undeniably the massive Kuroshio Sea tank, where you can watch majestic whale sharks and graceful manta rays glide overhead through an enormous acrylic panel—a truly breathtaking sight. The journey through the aquarium is well-designed, taking you from vibrant coral reefs to a mysterious deep-sea zone. Beyond the indoor exhibits, don't miss the entertaining and free outdoor dolphin shows.

Great experience and very enjoyable, hassle free and convenient to purchase ticket via Klook, very worth to visit, the Okinawa World is huge, spent 2.5-3.5 hours to visit whole area, highly recommended.

Well worth purchasing! There's no need to wait in line on-site for tickets; simply have the staff scan your phone to enter, which is fast and convenient! This itinerary included visits to a pineapple park, DMM, the Churaumi Aquarium, and the Yanbaru Subtropical Forest Dinosaur Park, as well as exchanging a coin purse. Since the itinerary happened to coincide with the tail end of a typhoon, most of these attractions were indoors, which made for a reasonable plan especially since I was traveling with three kids. Oh right, just keep in mind that if you choose the Daruma coin purse making experience, it replaces one of the other attractions. Although I had previously read online that there was a daily limit, when we arrived at 10:00 AM, there were still plenty left (an entire box). It seems the response has been so enthusiastic that they may have removed the limit, though I'm not entirely sure.

After purchasing tickets on Klook, you can enter directly using a QR code, which is convenient and fast. The aquarium isn't very large, but it offers various feeding experiences and is conveniently located near the airport. It's perfect for your first day upon arrival in Okinawa or as a final stop before departing.

This is the best that I could select for only two full days in Okinawa (Japan). The tour guides were absolutely amazing, friendly and very kind too. I would highly recommend this tours to anyone. I selected de 2-day tour(North and South of Okinawa) and I was not disappointed. Bu the way, I don’t speak any Mandarin (Chinese) but I translated everything with my mobile phone!! Lots of activities in both days

The animal park isn't huge, but it's enough for about three hours of fun. You can get quite close to the animals; the lions are very white and large, and the anteaters were surprisingly active. There are feeding experiences available for sheep, capybaras, guinea pigs, rabbits, deer, bears, swans, pigeons, and fish. It was my first time feeding a bear! Next to it, there's a small science museum where you can play for a bit and enjoy the air conditioning.

I booked a Kerama Islands snorkeling plus sea turtle swimming package via Klook, with Miegusuku Port as the meeting point. I self drove so I did not use the provided pick up service, and parking at the port is chargeable. Check in started around 8.20am.
Onboard, all equipment such as wetsuits, masks, fins, and life jackets were provided, along with a safety briefing and optional add ons like banana boat rides, jet ski activities, and GoPro rental. The boat reached the snorkeling site in about 20mins, where we entered the water in guided groups. After an initial session and a short break on the yacht with tea provided, participants split into different activity groups.
The sea turtle experience involved a short banana boat ride to a nearby spot, where staff first checked for turtles before we snorkelled in the area, followed by additional free snorkeling nearby. We returned to the yacht around 11.00am and arrived back at port at about 11.50am, with equipment cleaned on board.

it was a breeze booking on Klook and exchanging to tickets at the park. Activities are more geared for kids, but fun for adults too! You can get to try multiple pineapple relared food, our favourite was the pineapple cornet and the actual cut fruit. It was very very sweet.
