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.

Our tour guide Mentol is the best! Speaks good english, very kind and always look for us while doing snorkeling. Complete gears provided for free from suit, snorkle, aqua shoes and free photos. We will definitely do this again!!!

My first snorkeling experience was so much more fun than I imagined! Even as someone who can't swim and is afraid of the water, I felt very safe. The instructor we had was really great, very patient, and took good care of all of us. We were a group of ten adults and one child, and the goggles might be scary for kids. The child in our group cried the whole time, but the instructor was still willing to spend time teaching. It was a wonderful experience.

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. 😍😍😍

Very easy to communicate with the staff, lovely experience. We saw one turtle, Nemo, and many other fishes. The weather wasn’t the best, but the tour guide still managed to make the experience worth it!

We went snorkeling with Makoto. The water was crystal clear, and we saw lots of colorful fish and coral. Makoto took photos and videos throughout. It was so much fun, we wish we could have stayed longer!

Had a great time on this snorkelling tour with this company! Even though we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to weather conditions, they took us to a place nearby with so many amazing tropical fish! Would definitely recommend getting the fish feed option-- the fish will eat out of your hand. Amazing experience :)

3 of us pre booked and went on the whale shark dive trip. 2 adults & 16yo and we all loved it. the whales and fish come & go freely, they get fed krill to attract with diver. the net is just to stop touching because it can hurt them and the skin texture hurts you. They were right next to us. Our guide was amazing. he took 89 pics & videos on GoPro & airdropped on spot! Ran on time, easy to find and very friendly. Highly recommend.
