Okinawa Prefecture Outdoor & sports activities

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.

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.

Our guide, Sebastian, is incredibly kind. He meticulously checked our boot sizes to ensure we were comfortable. Upon arrival, he tirelessly walked with us, providing detailed explanations, so we could see more insects, coconut crabs, and stars! Thanks to Sebastian, I saw my first scorpion. Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories with our children! I highly recommend the Jungle Night Tour – be sure to experience it!

Experience: We decided to explore at night on a whim after arriving in Miyako, so our evening wouldn't be boring. It turned out to be an incredibly amazing experience! We stumbled upon a gathering of coconut crabs on the island and encountered these rare creatures on rocks, in trees, and even on the sidewalks! There were also many other fascinating and wild small animals, cute frogs, hermit crabs, stick insects, and butterflies sleeping at night! The kids had an absolute blast! Location: This is the most crucial part, as it’s difficult to get a taxi at night. This company provides hotel pick-up and drop-off services! This saves a lot of time and energy! Instructor: We had TAKU, who provided patient and detailed explanations in English throughout the tour. His English wasn't too difficult to understand, so feel free to give it a try! He was super patient with the kids! So much so that when I wanted to book a snorkeling trip the next day and found out TAKU was also a guide for that, I immediately booked it! An excellent guide makes the trip easy and enjoyable! TAKU is very conscientious and responsible, and he has a WeChat contact that you can use to reach him and he'll also send you travel photos. After booking, specify in the email that you need to contact them via WeChat. They will contact you later, so don't worry. (Since I booked on the same day, I couldn't log in to WhatsApp, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to reach them, but Klook's customer service helped me follow up, and they quickly contacted me via WeChat.) Equipment: For the night tour, they provide mosquito repellent and headlamps. You don't need to bring anything except a bottle of water, as you might get thirsty while walking. Shorts and a T-shirt are also fine; there's no danger.

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.

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.

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 🥳

Don't forget stargazing in Miyakojima 💫, an unforgettable memory •̀ ᗜ •́ ♥️ I really wanted to see a coconut crab, and I met two! I'm so lucky! 🦀🍀 Mayu Jungle Guide was kind and cute ᐢ⑅•ᴗ•⑅ᐢ I hope to see you again next time. Koreans and Japanese people all gather in Miyakojima, so if you come, let's go on a jungle tour! Papago makes communication no problem, a choice you won't regret! Klook 💫
