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.

It rained the day before participating in the Okinawa glass boat underwater sightseeing tour, and I was worried that I might not be able to see the fish. However, the weather was beautiful, and the sky cleared up on the day of participation. When I arrived at the West Marine counter, there was a sign showing the clarity of the water and the sway of the waves for passengers to refer to. After boarding, passengers can first enjoy the scenery near the shore from the top deck. When the boat reaches a deeper area, the staff will prompt passengers to go to the bottom level to see the fish, and finally, they can go to the middle level to feed the fish. This activity is very suitable for families to participate in together.
My package also included a seafood bowl on the Mobydick ship, with several kinds of fresh sashimi to eat as much as you like. Perhaps because it wasn't peak season and there were fewer people that day, enjoying lunch quietly was particularly relaxing.

Location: Mibaru Beach is about a 30-40 minute drive from Naha. I don't know about public transportation because I didn't use it, but if you have a car, it's worth the drive because the water is very clear and there are unique rock formations, making the beach beautiful. Parking is paid (500 yen).
Experience: You can take a transparent-bottom boat (about 12-seater) out to sea and observe underwater fish. The experience is short, about 20 minutes, but you can observe a variety of fish closely and clearly at four different points. It feels a bit different than seeing them in an aquarium. I think it's a good alternative if you can't dive. Pictures and names of frequently seen fish are posted on the boat. The captain kindly explains at the observation points, but only in Japanese.
Safety: Personal safety equipment such as life jackets are not provided separately, but the boat has a roof and you can only ride sitting down, so it is not very dangerous.

Easy to redeem at the centre. Look for gorilla booth or show the klook ticket to any booth and staf are nice enough point you to the right one. timing can be different from what was selected as staff gave us the next earliest timing when we arrived. nice and fun experience that would love to do again.

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.

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!

Gorilla Kart, thank you so much for an excellent fun filled tour! My son and I made a bucket list trip to Okinawa and this brought out our inner child. We had so much fun and Ichii you made us feel safe and took so many great memorable photos! The company provides a costume (if you wish to wear) and lockers for storage. They also euip each kart with a small pouches to hold passports, driving licenses, and phones. The kart functions and driving instructions are clear and easy to follow, along with the hand signals while on the road! We chose the Airport /Beach route and I am glad we did! We arrived in Okinawa late night, so to have a pit stop along our Kart route at the beach and see planes landing and taking off was beautiful! Thank you again for such a memorable and fun filled tour Ichii!!
