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.

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. 😍😍😍

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.

We had an overall great experience with pink mermaid!!
We had booked a snorkeling and diving tour and it was better than we could have imagined. Both instructors spoke very good English and guided us safely through the blue cave. Especially for scuba diving as it was our first time diving Sasha was very kind and patient with us - I felt safe at all times!

Friendly and helpful captain and crew. They literally make sure we catch at least one fish. Helped us to take pictures and videos too for free! Smooth booking and transfer two way from port to own hotel.

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!

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.
