What to expect

There are five tours per day (9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 13:00, and 15:00), and same-day reservations are also accepted. The entire activity takes just two hours from meeting to finishing, making it easy to fit into your travel schedule. Upon arriving at the meeting point, you’ll check in, change clothes, practice paddling, and then set off. Enjoy a leisurely kayak on the Hija River for about an hour while viewing the mangroves. The Hija River is a great place to enjoy a leisurely kayak, and in addition to the mangroves, it has many other attractions, including adorable creatures like small crabs and gobies, as well as plants that give you energy. The calm river is suitable for children as young as two, so you can get an up-close look at nature. Recommended for everyone, from children to seniors!

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.

Was very good. Recommend staying in Naha since it’s the central area and close to the shopping streets.

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.

The tour guide was enthusiastic, introducing the scenery along the way and the mangroves. It's beginner-friendly, and you get a full two hours of paddling, making it a great value. The tour guide also helps take beautiful photos along the way, highly recommended. The kids were also very happy and wanted more.

what a fantastic experience. I did this with my 2 grown sons and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide was Japanese speaking which we expected but he was still able to communicate with us. He took some great pictures and video and shared them for no extra cost. I highly recommend this.

The guide was really knowledgable and showed us to the wild flora and fauna. The kayaking experience was also fun and his instructions were easy to understand. He also answered some of our questions about the tour.
