Things to do in Cape Zanpa

We brought both seniors and young children to Okinawa, and to avoid the fatigue of driving ourselves, we opted for a one-day tour of the southern highlights. Although the schedule was a bit tight, we visited many attractions, so the overall itinerary was very suitable! The tour guide was also excellent! They constantly reminded us of the meeting times, and their commentary was very detailed. We'll definitely consider joining other tours next time we have the chance!

Great place to get a glimpse of the olden ryukyu days. The park isn’t big so it’s very manageable. 2 performances to catch and great for families.

It was a very fulfilling itinerary, and I thought it was great. We were dropped off directly at each destination, so we could start sightseeing right away without having to figure out transportation ourselves. It was awesome to just follow along without a worry! 👍

A day trip to the north with four stops is a great value, but it's super tiring. If you're not driving yourself, I recommend booking a day trip, otherwise you might not be able to complete all these stops in one day.

Kouri Island beach can be skipped, it would be better to have more time at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and I hope to see the whale shark show. The tour guide is knowledgeable, explains things in great detail, and arranges the itinerary according to traffic conditions.

The estimated time for each attraction was appropriate, and I didn't feel rushed. The tour guide shared many key points about Okinawa tourism and local customs on the bus, and you could ask about other attractions as well. A simple lunch was provided, and there were snacks available for purchase at each attraction.

Did not manage to go into Blue Cave due to windy weather sadly :( However, we got directed to a beach nearby with alot of lively corals and there were a huge variety of fishes! It surpassed my expectations in Okinawa compared to snorkeling in Bali & Phucket where the coral reefs were bleached in other countries. Tour guide was friendly too and helped took alot of photos & videos (which you will need to pay 3000yen for video).

Safety: Snorkeling is very safe, but basic Japanese and English are needed. The price is very cheap. Experience: I fed a lot of fish, but it cost an extra 1,000 yen, which is optional but worth it. Renting equipment costs 3,000 yen, which is also optional. The instructor took over 100 photos of me, and he was very nice, letting me touch sea cucumbers and other things. If you speak Japanese or English, you should definitely go! It feels very safe, and I felt like a fish. Location: Because of the waves, we changed to a safer beach.
