Things to do in Southeast Botanical Gardens

It's so convenient to buy in advance on Klook! It's cheaper than buying on the spot, and you don't have to queue. I'll definitely buy on Klook for my next trip too.

The timing was excellent, making for a very fulfilling day. The schedule was a little tight, but this itinerary is really designed for travelers who want to experience various famous attractions, rather than having an in-depth experience at just one. It was very sunny today, especially at Cape Chinen and Gyokusendo Cave, so be sure to apply sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and ideally bring a parasol. The car was very well-maintained and clean, which is why the driver insisted that we not eat food in the car. Plus, the car was always cooled down in advance, so getting in was like entering paradise. And the Eisa drum performance at Okinawa World is a must-see, it's incredibly impressive! However, I was a bit disappointed with the seafood at Itoman Fish Market. I recommend avoiding the cooked food; it wasn't fresh, and the grilled shrimp meat fell apart into a mush. Don't buy anything where they're trying to cover it up with sauce. For the Outlet Mall, I suggest checking online beforehand to see which stores you want to visit. From my experience, unless you know exactly what specific items you want to buy, you'll only have time to visit about two stores plus do your tax refund before it's time to meet up again. Oh, and the Sapporo Drug Store there sells electrolyte replenishment drinks (they taste like Fin). If you're sweating a lot, you can buy a bottle to drink to avoid heatstroke.

I went out to the mangrove forest and the sea with a friendly guide to see the sunset. The sudden shower and cool breeze in the middle were a very special experience. The sunset viewed from the calm sea was a truly enchanting and beautiful experience. It was the most memorable scene of my 4-day trip to Okinawa. Highly recommend.

Our guide, Mr. Lim Ji-seop, provided a very kind and informative tour. As scheduled, we visited Manza Cape, Okashigoten, Churaumi Aquarium, Kouri Ocean Tower, and American Village. I was worried about where to eat at the Churaumi Aquarium, but he recommended four different places. I ended up eating Okinawa soba and tacos from a food truck. I highly recommend this tour for people traveling alone.

A great alternative if you can't drive yourself. The itinerary isn't too rushed, and the guided tour is excellent. Highly recommended day trip.

The tour guide provided clear explanations and spoke extensively about Okinawan culture throughout the tour. The locations were also clearly explained, and they would message us on WeChat to confirm pick-up times, which was very reassuring.

We purchased the four activities pass and it was definitely worth it. We got visit Okinawa World, Churaumi Aquarium, Neo Park and do kayaking sunset tour. Lots of fun and saved a few dollars. convenience:

Facilities: Free parking, free showers, and boat trip to the Blue Cave are provided. Instructor: We had a Taiwanese male instructor who took great care of us throughout the entire experience. He really encouraged my two children to be brave and try new things. When they had equipment issues, the instructor immediately took care of it for them. My eldest son dropped his fins while waiting in line to take pictures at the Blue Cave. Without hesitation, the instructor dove down about five or six meters to retrieve them and help him put them back on! He captured many beautiful moments and photos for us in the Blue Cave. When we were heading back to the boat, my youngest son dropped his diving mask, and again, the instructor helped him retrieve it. We are very grateful to him. The service at this shop is top-notch and heartwarming. Experience: This was an unforgettable, happy, heartwarming, and thoughtful trip.
