The absolute highlight of my Okinawa trip was this sunset kayak tour! I was feeling down because it rained for three days straight after arriving in Okinawa, but as soon as I got into the kayak, the rain stopped, a double rainbow appeared, and the sun came out :) I was truly happy watching the sunset. However, the water near the kayak launch area was incredibly murky before heading out to sea, which made me a bit hesitant to put my feet in (it felt like muddy water). Anyway, your shoes and clothes will definitely get wet, so be sure to bring flip-flops, and if you don't like getting your clothes wet, definitely bring a raincoat!!! I highly recommend kayaking on a nice day 🙌🏻

Love the kayak with guide Miku. He helped to take many beautiful photos for me & my son. It was an enjoyable activity. The sea fishing was also very fun. There were 5 groups on the boat, most of us managed to catch the fishes. Thank God we did not feel sea sick though it was very windy with occasional choppy waves. Highly recommend this activity if visiting Okinawa!

We had a very satisfying experience! 🥳 A big thank you to our canoe guide, Musashi-san, for patiently explaining how to paddle, introducing us to the mangrove ecosystem, the trees, and the unique mudskippers and small crabs of the Hija River. 🙇‍♀️ *A little tip: Remember to wear quick-drying shorts when you come here, otherwise you'll get wet!* We had booked the 11 AM activity. When we arrived early, the staff used English flashcards to remind us to bring towels and valuables (if you forget a towel, you can buy one for 400 yen). Afterward, he prepared slippers and paddles for us. We first learned how to paddle forward and in different directions together on the shore before getting into the canoe. We followed the guide throughout the entire journey, exploring the Hija River mangrove ecosystem. If we encountered any difficulties along the way, the guide was happy to help and answer our questions. 😉✨ We'd love to come back again! 🧡🙋🏻‍♀️ We also highly recommend this to other tourists.

The guide was very kind, and we could even ride out to the sea, which was absolutely amazing! However, if you're not in good physical shape, it might be a bit challenging. Haha.

The trip took about an hour; you paddle along the mangroves, though the whole thing takes place right in the city—we had expected to go a bit further inland. Still, the trip was very nice; the guide explains a lot along the way and takes photos, which you get for free at the end. This trip isn’t for experienced kayakers, but if you have no experience or just want to go on a nice little kayaking tour, this is the perfect place for you.

I really have to give a big shout-out to Director Mou and the driver on August 25th. That day was actually the eve of a typhoon, and many areas in the north had issued warnings and canceled their plans. Our central Japan itinerary, including the Kadena Air Base, also had its flight training canceled. We received storm warnings upon arriving in Nago and other areas. However, thanks to Director Mou's flexible arrangements and the warm cooperation of our handsome driver, all outdoor activities were scheduled for the morning. After noon, all activities were indoors, so we didn't feel the wind and rain as much and could enjoy shopping with peace of mind. This prevented the typhoon from ruining our trip, making it a very pleasant and wonderful memory. I highly recommend the dedication of this travel agency's staff! ♥️

Probably the most fun I had during my trip to Okinawa! I was honestly surprised by how good my knife turned out, especially since I had zero experience. It was super satisfying to make something from scratch, and now I have a really cool souvenir to take home. There’s also parking right at the studio, which made getting there really easy. Highly recommend!

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.

The pick up from hotel came with the booking. Trainers were very patient and encouraging. All the first-timers could stand on the board. Kaz offered some great food places too! Was a wonderful experience to dip into Okinawa crystal clear waters with the blue skies as backdrop.
