Coisas para fazer em Prefeitura de Okinawa

Enjoyed the tour, especially the Okinawa Chaurumi Aquarium. 🐟 I can consider it one of the highlights of my trip here in Okinawa. The only bad side is that the tour guide can only speak in Chinese, make sure to book one with an English tour guide so that you will understand what he says. 😅

I was traveling alone and couldn't drive. It was a worthwhile trip, but I didn't realize there was no tour guide. Because when I came the next day, it was a one-day tour of the north with a tour guide. For this one-day tour of the south, I thought there would be a tour guide, but it turns out I didn't pay attention when I placed the order myself (no wonder it was so cheap, haha). However, although the driver, a Japanese gentleman, doesn't speak Chinese, he has a phone with a translation app that can be used to listen. The driver was also very thoughtful and helped us to be on time to get back to the car. There's no fear of not understanding or not knowing what to do. Plus, there were many Taiwanese tourists in the same car. It was a good and worthwhile experience.

I booked a Kerama Islands snorkeling plus sea turtle swimming package via Klook, with Miegusuku Port as the meeting point. I self drove so I did not use the provided pick up service, and parking at the port is chargeable. Check in started around 8.20am. Onboard, all equipment such as wetsuits, masks, fins, and life jackets were provided, along with a safety briefing and optional add ons like banana boat rides, jet ski activities, and GoPro rental. The boat reached the snorkeling site in about 20mins, where we entered the water in guided groups. After an initial session and a short break on the yacht with tea provided, participants split into different activity groups. The sea turtle experience involved a short banana boat ride to a nearby spot, where staff first checked for turtles before we snorkelled in the area, followed by additional free snorkeling nearby. We returned to the yacht around 11.00am and arrived back at port at about 11.50am, with equipment cleaned on board.

It's recommended to add them on Line beforehand. Then, use the Google Map on your booking confirmation to drive to the destination parking lot. You'll find their company's small van at the exit. The instructor is very hospitable and speaks English. The underwater scenery is beautiful with many fish, but it might be a bit crowded on a Saturday.

Booking convenience through Klook: It's recommended to purchase tickets in advance from Klook. You won't have to queue to buy tickets, and the price is slightly cheaper than walking in. The aquarium itself isn't very large, but you can walk around until you reach the dolphin show (you can watch the show without scanning your ticket) and the turtle tank. It's a reasonable distance and very worthwhile. The staff provide excellent service, with both Japanese and foreign employees available to answer our questions.

First trip with a 4-month-old baby ✈️👶🏻 This time, we took our four-month-old baby abroad for the first time and chose a 3-in-1 package. For families with young babies, this type of package is very flexible 👍🏻 We only arranged 1-2 activities each day, keeping a relaxed pace, and were able to consider the baby's energy levels at all times. It wasn't too rushed at all, highly recommended for parents who want to travel with their infants! 1. Churaumi Aquarium 🐠: Our family of three watched various aquatic animals and a dolphin show together. The live show was incredibly exciting, with continuous cheers, making for a wonderful parent-child memory! 2. Kouri Island Shrimp Rice 🍤: We originally wanted to redeem this, but unfortunately, the restaurant had run out of rice, so we couldn't (a bit disappointing; I suggest parents who want to try it go early). Later, we went to Zootons Naha store to redeem the "Three Cheese Burger." The burger was substantial and made to order. They didn't cut corners just because it was a package redemption; they were very sincere! The male staff member who served us was handsome, and his service attitude was also excellent 👍🏻 The package content allows you to choose between attractions or food, offering high flexibility. For families like ours, traveling with a baby and not wanting to overschedule, this kind of package that allows for flexible itinerary adjustments is truly convenient and highly recommended!

This is a very fun amusement park. The day we went, even though it was rainy and foggy, it felt like being in a Jurassic Park movie. It was so much fun! All the staff were lovely, greeting us and being extremely friendly. A staff member named Wansu took care of us from the moment we entered the park, while we were on rides, until we left, which impressed my friends and me greatly. The rides are suitable for children and adults. We bought a pass for the Dinosaur Safari ride, which was fun and shouldn't be missed if you come here. The TamTam train is very cute because it has activities for us to play on the train, and there's a 'Finding Dinosaur' area which is also cute and kids would probably love, like helping to search for dinosaurs. The Jungle Extreme zone is also fun. In summary, this place is different from other amusement parks. Overall, my friends and I were very impressed with the service and think we would like to come back again if we have the opportunity.

素晴らしい体験で、とても楽しかったです。Klookでチケットを購入するのは手間がかからず便利で、訪れる価値が十分にあります。おきなわワールドは広大で、全エリアを訪れるのに2.5〜3.5時間かかりました。強くお勧めします。

Most attractions on Okinawa's self-driving tours have free parking, which is very convenient. On the day of our visit, the main entrance parking lot of the zoo was quite full, but following the signs led us to the side entrance where there were still plenty of spaces – excellent! Buying tickets through Klook was easy; we just showed the voucher at the visitor center to exchange for tickets, which were slightly cheaper than those sold directly by the zoo. Actually, buying on-site is also quite affordable, and it's definitely worth taking young children for the experience. The park isn't huge but is very family-friendly. There are ramps along the paths, so you can push a stroller throughout the visit, even up to the elevated walkways. The map clearly indicates different animal exhibits, and you can explore the entire park by moving forward without needing to backtrack. Some areas allow feeding small animals; we tried feeding the chinchillas, which was a wonderful first experience for the children. The overall environment is very clean, and there are plenty of restrooms. There are also small food trucks for snacks, and small amusement rides and an indoor play area for children. In summary, this is a highly recommended experience for family trips.
