We were very lucky today and saw whales. They came out for a bit about every 10 minutes, so it was a real test of our photography skills. However, because the boat isn't very big, it rocks a lot on the sea, so it's not recommended for people prone to seasickness.

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!

On my last night in Okinawa, I participated in a very exciting activity through Klook. A guide from Chile drove a three-wheeled motorcycle, taking the three of us through Naha City at night. On the road to Naha Airport, the traffic was sparse, and we floored the accelerator to enjoy the thrill of extreme speed. Pedestrians on the streets of Naha smiled and waved at us, making us feel the kindness of the locals. Tourists from other places also curiously took pictures of us, which felt refreshing. Overall, for such an affordable price, it was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this activity to anyone interested. As a sign of encouragement, don't hesitate to tip the responsible and humorous local guide.

A short walk from Oroku Station. The rental process is simple; just make sure your license allows you to drive a 125cc scooter. The latest return time is 5:30 PM on the same day. There's a gas station next door where you can fill up with regular gasoline. When you return the scooter, the staff will quickly check your gas receipt. The scooter was in great condition. With a scooter, you can easily explore Okinawa. Just be aware that you can't take it on the expressway.

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.

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 🥳

You can directly add the store's Line account, and they will speak Chinese with you. You can also book your desired time slot with them. The owner is very nice and highly recommended! Although the vehicle is noisy, it's a unique experience!

I researched planning a day trip to Tokashiki myself with the ferry, shuttle, and snorkeling. When comparing, the value of this package versus the cost of doing it solo just made since. Everyone we interacted with from the meeting room to the snorkeling experience to the bus, lunch, and boat staff were kind, professional, and helpful. I’ve lived in Okinawa for several years, and snorkeling Tokashiku Beach was one of my favorite snorkeling experiences to date due to the calm water and variety of ocean life and coral we were able to see. I was a little disappointed that the Klook page for this trip says that return times are at 4:25pm or 6:50pm, when in fact starting the return trip at 3:00pm seems to be standard operating procedure for the tour. A lot of time is understandably spent in organizing the different sub groups on the tour, so that only left about 1 hour for the snorkel experience, 1 hour at Aharen Beach, and 30 minutes for lunch. However, overall it was great experience!

It was a bit confusing for the meeting point at the port since we arrived earlier at 8am. You need to wait near entrance of the parking lot for the staff to arrive around 8:15-8:20 with the boat and their blue NEWS shirt. Then, as we had booked parasailing, we had to leave with another company on another boat first. No toilet on this smaller boat, but they have a toilet on the bigger snorkeling boat. Once we were set, the experience for parasailing and snorkeling went smoothly. It was a great day with magnificent views over and undersea. The staff takes free photos with their phones/underwater camera for you. You can download them on their website afterwards which is a plus! Just be sure to have anti-nausea medication: the boat rides are very rough. We had no issue with safety. The snorkeling boat was well equipped.
