Passeios por Southeast Botanical Gardens

Cloudy weather ⛅ doesn't make the seaside very beautiful, but the strong winds are perfect for Cape Zanpa. We mainly came to the central area for it, but unfortunately, the lighthouse stairs were closed. Overall, the experience was good. The attractions weren't too crowded, and we finished early. There was no traffic on the way, and the complimentary ice cream 🍨 and burger set were both excellent. The ice cream had a very local flavor, and the fruit flavors were dairy-free. I recommend the citrus flavor; I had watermelon, which I felt no one else chose, and it had a slightly spoiled 🍉 taste. The Southeast Botanical Gardens are exquisite and compact. The main garden's plants aren't particularly exotic; compared to botanical gardens in China like the South China Botanical Garden, Xiamen Botanical Garden, and many famous botanical gardens in Southeast Asia, their richness is stronger. However, the botanical garden excels in its overall layout, looking very much like it was lovingly crafted by a horticulturist. Our tour guide, Xiao Lian, is from Fuzhou. She was very enthusiastic and attentive throughout the trip, looking after everyone. Having lived in Okinawa for over thirty years, she has a deep understanding of the local culture.

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. 😅

The driver and the guide, Mr. Huo, were very friendly. During the journey, the guide shared information about the food and history of the sightseeing places we were visiting. The time allotted for each sightseeing spot was just right for us to walk around and take photos. We had lunch at the Itoman market.

The sunset kayak tour was probably the highlight of my Okinawa trip! I was feeling down because it rained for three days straight after arriving in Okinawa, but as soon as I got on the kayak, the rain stopped, a double rainbow appeared, and the sun came out :) I was truly happy watching the sunset. However, the water near the kayak boarding area was incredibly murky before heading out to sea, which made me a bit hesitant to put my feet in (it felt like muddy water). Anyway, your shoes/clothes will definitely get wet, so be sure to bring flip-flops, and if you don't like your clothes getting wet, definitely bring a raincoat!!! I highly recommend kayaking on a nice day 🙌🏻

Wonderful experience, it had been raining and was cloudy. We were provided with rain ponchos. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared about the area and environment. We saw birds and hermit crabs. Guide was great with answering our questions. Recommend this experience with this organization.

This northern Okinawa tour is longer and requires more time to reach the destination. The driver will drive you to the destinations stated in the list and you will just have free and easy time till the stipulated time by the driver

My parents had such an amazing time today. Our guide was phenomenal. He explained everything and was there to guide us through the experience. We went on the kayak first, it wasn't too hot or too cold, very peaceful, and we got to learn more about the plants of Oki. After, we had a short break and went to the fishing spot. We were lucky enough to catch a fish and then they arranged with a local restaurant and it was phenomenal.

I really liked the itinerary; we happened to see the sunset 🌇, which was beautiful. The coach helped take photos, but they weren't professional, so the pictures were just average. Because our schedule was a bit delayed, we told them we might arrive a little late, but we were sternly informed that if we were late, we wouldn't be able to participate at all and wouldn't get a refund, and that we absolutely had to arrive before 4:00 PM. So, we rushed to get there on time, only to still wait for almost half an hour at the site before departing. We also saw other groups who were late still being able to participate, which left a bad impression. You can bring your phone or camera to take pictures while playing. Your pants and underwear are highly likely to get wet, so it's recommended to bring an extra pair. They provide slippers for us to change into, which is nice. You might want to bring an extra towel to dry your feet, as it's more convenient when changing shoes after getting ashore. Overall, I recommend coming to Okinawa and definitely trying this activity.
