Things to do in Okinawa Prefecture

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.

Although I give this tour 5 star rating, with one caviat, we had some misunderstanding with tour guide in the morning, after addressing my concerns, later it was resolved. I would extend American Village by maybe half an hour, although we had an option to stay and later come back at our own expense. I believe hour and a half would be sufficient without being rushed, I wills cut short Cape by 15 mins and aquarium by another 15 mins. Otherwise bus was great, and I enjoyed the day.

Minami-san is a great guide! She provide explanation for each spot in English and Chinese, which make the whole trip enjoyable! first stop manzomo and Kaori beach has 30 minutes each, while chikauri Aquarium got 3.5 hours, last stop American village 1 hour, can choose to go back without follow the bus!I get to try the banana milk shake at American village stop near information center. Kudos to the driver for the safe drive and punctuality!

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.

There's no need to buy the direct entry QR code; there wasn't much of a line. Inside, there are many animal interaction activities you can purchase, but make sure to buy tickets at the vending machines by the entrance! Although it's called an aquarium, it's more like a zoo. It's not very big but it's quite interesting, and you can get very close to the animals. The crowd was moderate, and it's conveniently connected to a mall and outlet, making it perfect for a day trip!

Easy to use straight after purchase. Just scan the QR code on ghe voucher directly at the attractions for entry. Pass is a very worthwhile deal to visit multiple attractions!

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.

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.
