December isn't the most active time for whales, so seeing them isn't guaranteed every day. We were lucky to see them, but you'll mostly just see the whales fluke, spout, and fins. You can see them much more clearly at an aquarium. It's very cold, windy, and intermittently rainy at sea in winter, and you're out at sea for a long time, so be sure to wear enough clothing. Also, the waves are sometimes quite big, so be sure to take motion sickness medicine.

Gorilla Kart, thank you so much for an excellent fun filled tour! My son and I made a bucket list trip to Okinawa and this brought out our inner child. We had so much fun and Ichii you made us feel safe and took so many great memorable photos! The company provides a costume (if you wish to wear) and lockers for storage. They also euip each kart with a small pouches to hold passports, driving licenses, and phones. The kart functions and driving instructions are clear and easy to follow, along with the hand signals while on the road! We chose the Airport /Beach route and I am glad we did! We arrived in Okinawa late night, so to have a pit stop along our Kart route at the beach and see planes landing and taking off was beautiful! Thank you again for such a memorable and fun filled tour Ichii!!

Choosing the one-hour "Airport + Kokusai Street" route this time was really fun! Instructor banana Chari 🍌 is super hyped, super enthusiastic, and super friendly～ No problem communicating in English, and Chinese is also good. There's even a Chinese video explanation, which made us feel very safe. He was good at creating a lively atmosphere and was very attentive throughout the whole trip, taking tons of photos for us, and even had photos printed for us, and AirDropped all the photos to us directly. The service was truly top-notch!

This experience was top notch and the highlight of our trip. The instructors were fantastic and were incredibly kind to our children. They had English instructions which were very helpful. I was worried it would be too scary but take off was gentle and a lot of fun! I would highly recommend it and would do it again! 10/10 experience for sure.

We loved this experience! We were very lucky with the weather the ocean was calm and pleasant. The island was beautiful, and we could swim freely or join extra activities such as snorkeling or the glass-bottom boat (these need to be selected on Klook in advance). We only chose the island option, and the two hours went by very quickly with lunch and time to explore the beach.
The guide was extremely kind, and everything was well explained. Finding the whales wasn’t easy, but our captain and guide were patient, and we finally spotted them at the end! It was an amazing and unforgettable experience.

The activity location is in Nakagusuku Village. Staff will confirm the location via WhatsApp depending on the weather conditions on the day. Ordering through KLOOK is simple and convenient. After arriving, I communicated with the contact person, FRANK, and learned that there were two groups ahead of us. There was time to observe the take-off process 🪂. The flight time is about 10 minutes. The fee for shooting a video is 3,000 yen per person, and the video length is 1 minute. Overall, a pleasant and unforgettable experience 🤙🏼🤙🏼 PS. My pilot happened to be the contact person, FRANK. He is experienced and has first-class skills 👍🏼. The whole team is friendly and polite 👍🏼. If you are on a self-drive tour, you can add this activity 🥳

Because I was late for my scheduled pick-up time, I had to contact the owner via LINE and wait for them to arrive. You can purchase insurance on-site. However, the return time being before 5 pm is a bit early. If you're in southern Okinawa or the Naha area, riding a scooter is quite convenient. You need to return the scooter with a full tank of gas and leave the key in the mailbox next to it.

overall it was ok, good that they had a 24hr self pick up and drop off and location was alright near Kokusai street. they were also quite responsive over email and can comms in English and Chinese. they did not require physical copies of docs but good to bring in case. worth noting that the 125cc is not allowed on freeway and if planning to head further north would have to take the longer/smaller roads, they did not allow any upgrade to bigger cc as booking was via Klook. our bikes were in decent condition

JAL is indeed a long-established hotel, and no matter whether it's the hotel staff's parking, the front desk service, the room service, or the size of the rooms, everything is above average. If it weren't for the fact that this building on Kokusai Street is relatively old, the rating could be even higher. Although the price is a bit high, it is satisfactory for families staying here, because even with the three-bed room type, the activity space is still above average and large, and walking around the room is not restricted due to the increased number of beds.
