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.

Booking through Klook is convenient: I recommend purchasing tickets in advance from Klook. You won't have to wait in line to buy tickets, and the price is slightly cheaper than walking in. The aquarium itself isn't very large, but you can walk around until you reach the dolphin show (you can watch the show without scanning your ticket) and the turtle tanks. It's a decent distance and well worth it. The staff provides excellent service, with both Japanese and international employees available to answer our questions.

First-time flight experience with a 4-month-old baby ✈️👶🏻
This was our first international trip with our four-month-old baby, and we chose the 3-in-1 package. This type of package is incredibly flexible for families traveling with young children 👍🏻 We only planned 1-2 activities per day, keeping a relaxed pace so we could always consider the baby's energy levels. It never felt too rushed, and I highly recommend it to parents who want to travel with their infants!
1. Churaumi Aquarium 🐠: The three of us enjoyed watching various aquatic animals and the dolphin show together. The live show was absolutely spectacular, with continuous cheers from the crowd – a wonderful family memory!
2. Kouri Island Shrimp Rice 🍤: We originally planned to redeem this, but unfortunately, the restaurant had run out of rice and we couldn't redeem it (a bit disappointing; I recommend going early if you want to try it).
We then went to Zooton's Naha branch to redeem the "Three Cheese Burger." The burger was substantial and made to order. They were very sincere and didn't cut corners just because it was a package redemption – very impressive!
The male staff member who served us was handsome, and his service was excellent 👍🏻
The package allows you to choose between attractions or food, offering great flexibility. For families like ours, traveling with a baby and not wanting to overschedule, this kind of package that allows for itinerary adjustments is incredibly convenient. I genuinely recommend it!

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's very convenient to enter directly using the QR code. The DMM hall isn't large, but you can see cute small animals such as sloths, meerkats, otters, etc. There's a touch pool inside where you can have a hands-on experience. The aquarium's glass floor, viewed from above, is a highlight, and the kids were all very happy.

Most attractions in Okinawa offer free parking for self-driving tours, which is very convenient. On the day of our visit, the main parking lot at the zoo was quite full, but by following the signs to the side entrance, we found plenty of available spaces – excellent! Purchasing tickets through Klook was easy; we just went to the visitor center on-site and exchanged our voucher for tickets, which were slightly cheaper than those sold directly by the zoo. Even buying tickets on-site is quite affordable, and it's definitely worth taking young children to experience. The park isn't huge, but it's very family-friendly. There are ramps throughout, making it easy to navigate with a stroller, even up to the elevated walkways. The map clearly indicates the different animal exhibits, and the layout allows you to explore the entire park without backtracking. Some areas offer opportunities to feed small animals; we tried feeding the chinchillas, which was a wonderful first experience for the kids. The overall environment is very clean, and there are ample restrooms. Small food trucks are available for snacks, and there are also small rides and an indoor play area for children. In summary, this is a highly recommended experience for families.

Even before entering, I felt that the staff were very friendly and patient. They first introduced the facilities within the park and taught us how to use the park's app. The app's design is simple, clear, and easy to understand, helping to solve most of our questions. It's just a shame we didn't get to experience attractions like the Flying Phoenix or the Sky Bridge. Although the hot air balloon wasn't operating, it was still open for visitors to take photos. The park isn't too big; you can explore the entire area in about 30 to 45 minutes. All the game experiences were fantastic, and the waiting times weren't long, usually under 30 minutes. The restaurant environment was clean. The 'Bird's Nest' seating required an additional 2,000 yen. Also, due to the hot weather, we didn't choose to sit outdoors, but it was clear that the outdoor 'Bird's Nest' seats offered beautiful, unobstructed views. Personally, I think there's no need to specifically choose the JUNGLIA COURSE when reserving a table; simply ordering à la carte from the menu is fine. Overall, the park experience was excellent, and it's definitely worth spending half a day here.

experience: Our family of four booked the snorkeling small group via Klook Okinawa pass 3 days before we arrived because it was Golden Week and fills up fast. It was definitely worth the pre-planning and booking. It was our kids ages 7 & 9 first time snorkeling so safety and a certified instructor was a must for us. We had a fantastic instructor who was so patient with our kids and made it lots of fun. He even gave us food to feed the fish and took photos and videos for us to have as keepsakes. They will provide wet suits and shoes and snorkel equipment. Just bring a towel, and 200 yen for a shower and a change of clothes/shoes. We loved this and highly recommend it!
