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.

The activity location is very convenient and easily accessible. It was easy for me to get to the meeting point by bus on my own 📍This was my first time kayaking in Okinawa, and I had a great time seeing the beautiful Okinawan sunset 🧡 The instructor, Miku, was kind and friendly, and the entire route was smooth and safe 👍 She also helped take a lot of photos, which I really appreciate 💕 I recommend this to anyone visiting Okinawa! 👍

Take bus number 120 from Naha. The instructors are very professional. The entire trip is by kayak and lasts about 1 hour. The scenery is beautiful, but be aware that you will definitely get wet, so bring a change of clothes. This activity is highly recommended.

Wonderful experience, it had been raining and was cloudy. We were provided with rain ponchos. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared about the area and environment. We saw birds and hermit crabs. Guide was great with answering g our questions. Recommend this experience with this organization.

This kayak tour was a decision made after considering many options. Our guide, Ray, was very kind and supported us as much as possible so that we could enjoy the tour. Even though the weather wasn't helping us, we had so much fun on what could have been a monotonous tour thanks to Ray's kind and detailed explanations and photo taking. Thank you so much, it was a fun memory. If I have the opportunity, let's meet again someday, Ray! 🔥🔥🔥

I love Okinawa and this is a must do activity because we had so much fun. The staff were very nice and helpful. We had an amazing time in the island. Will definitely go back there and stay longer. First time to hold a sea cucumber and swim with the turtles. 😍😍😍
