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.

Fantastic 5.0
The selected date didn't have enough people and the tour was canceled, but customer service actively contacted me and gave me other date options. I really wanted to fish, so I still went fishing on the morning of my departure! The Sanchong Port Wharf is near the airport, so I was able to make it to the airport in time. The fishing spot is very close to the airport, so you can constantly see planes taking off. The captain and a young man on the boat were both very nice!! The initial spot didn't have any fish, so they took us to another location to find fish. The young man, seeing that I was fishing alone and worried I wouldn't catch anything, even helped me catch one so I could get a feel for it. As a result, I later caught five fish myself, and the fish that the other people on the boat caught were all very big and beautiful! It's also very beautiful; the sea in Okinawa is truly beautiful. I really liked this trip!

The three of us caught nearly 20 fish, and we couldn't even finish them all. The captain wasn't as fierce as some reviews suggested; it seemed more like a language barrier. He immediately helped replace broken lines and damaged equipment. At the end, he smiled, waved, and said goodbye. The only slight drawback was the nearby restaurant he recommended, where we waited an hour for our food, but processing fish is inherently time-consuming, so it's understandable.

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.

I stumbled upon this tour yesterday! Booked it for today! The owner is super nice and even helps with taking photos. If you don't have a driver's license, you can ride in the owner's tuk-tuk 🛺, which is a great experience! It was too hot today, otherwise, the store also offers cute outfits to change into. So Good.

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!

The trip with this guide was great. You can tell from the photos. The guide we had on Mangrove Island was also amazing. I don't know her name, but she was a woman... If I hadn't found my Ace Pro that I dropped there, it would have been the worst trip ever, but luckily I found it after some twists and turns. The visibility in the mangrove river isn't great, and the river isn't without currents, so if you drop something, you might not be able to find it. It would be good if the guide brought extra masks, or if individuals brought their own masks.

Okinawa is vast, and traveling between tourist attractions by public transportation takes a long time waiting for buses, plus the long travel distances. If you're not driving yourself but still want a simple and relaxing way to explore, this tour is a comfortable option. The guide, Ru Ru, loves chatting with everyone, and Chinese is a common language, making for a great overall experience. Basically, this itinerary focuses on the aquarium, with a total duration of three hours, which is sufficient for this destination. However, the time spent at Manza Cape and the other stop is relatively shorter, just enough for taking a photo before getting back on the bus. Please read the prospectus carefully before traveling!
