Prehliadky Southeast Botanical Gardens

I really have to give a big shout-out to Director Mou and the driver on August 25th. That day was actually the eve of a typhoon, and many areas in the north had issued warnings and canceled their plans. Our central Japan itinerary, including the Kadena Air Base, also had its flight training canceled. We received storm warnings upon arriving in Nago and other areas. However, thanks to Director Mou's flexible arrangements and the warm cooperation of our handsome driver, all outdoor activities were scheduled for the morning. After noon, all activities were indoors, so we didn't feel the wind and rain as much and could enjoy shopping with peace of mind. This prevented the typhoon from ruining our trip, making it a very pleasant and wonderful memory. I highly recommend the dedication of this travel agency's staff! ♥️

Although I give this tour 5 star rating, with one caviat, we had some misunderstanding with tour guide in the morning, after addressing my concerns, later it was resolved. I would extend American Village by maybe half an hour, although we had an option to stay and later come back at our own expense. I believe hour and a half would be sufficient without being rushed, I wills cut short Cape by 15 mins and aquarium by another 15 mins. Otherwise bus was great, and I enjoyed the day.

The southern tour itinerary is very comfortable, and the distance between stops is much shorter than in the northern part, so there is almost enough time to explore everywhere. It is very easy to find the tour guide at the meeting point. Mr. Guan's explanations were friendly and interesting, helping us better understand local Okinawan culture. The glass-bottom boat costs an additional 2000 yen, but the underwater views are incredibly clear and well worth recommending. Shopping is a choice between the OUTLET and iias; choosing iias means slightly less shopping time in order to pick up the OUTLET group on the way back, but you get a good ice cream discount coupon. The DMM aquarium is next to iias, and discounted tickets are also available. Since there are many interactive activities inside, it is totally fine to separate from the group and stay longer to explore and play. However, Senagajima island next is truly beautiful with the sunset, and if you get tired of walking, you can soak in the free foot bath to relax.

The timing was perfect, and the meeting point was convenient (right at the Kokusai-dori Kencho-mae Station), which was very helpful for us since we weren't driving in Okinawa. Next time we visit Okinawa, we'll definitely choose other sightseeing bus routes.

Výlet trval asi hodinu; pádlovali ste popri mangrovoch, hoci celé sa to odohráva priamo v meste – očakávali sme, že pôjdeme trochu ďalej do vnútrozemia. Napriek tomu bol výlet veľmi pekný; sprievodca cestou veľa vysvetľuje a fotí, ktoré na konci dostanete zadarmo. Tento výlet nie je pre skúsených kajakárov, ale ak nemáte žiadne skúsenosti alebo si len chcete užiť peknú malú kajakársku túru, toto je pre vás ideálne miesto.

Love the kayak with guide Miku. He helped to take many beautiful photos for me & my son. It was an enjoyable activity. The sea fishing was also very fun. There were 5 groups on the boat, most of us managed to catch the fishes. Thank God we did not feel sea sick though it was very windy with occasional choppy waves. Highly recommend this activity if visiting Okinawa!

Myslím, že vrcholom mojej cesty na Okinawu bola táto kajaková túra pri západe slnka! Po príchode na Okinawu pršalo tri dni v kuse, čo ma deprimovalo, ale hneď ako som nasadol do kajaku, prestalo pršať, objavila sa dvojitá dúha a vyšlo slnko :) Bol som naozaj šťastný, keď som sledoval západ slnka. Jediná vec je, že voda pri mieste, kde sa nastupuje do kajaku, predtým ako sa vyrazí na more, bola veľmi tmavá, takže som sa trochu zdráhal namočiť si nohy (pripomínalo to bahnitú vodu). V každom prípade, vaše topánky/oblečenie sa určite namočia, takže si nezabudnite vziať žabky a ak nechcete, aby sa vám namočilo oblečenie, určite si prineste pršiplášť!!! Kajakovanie v peknom počasí vrelo odporúčam🙌🏻

Very nice one day trip, the driver came on time, he was very nice and helpfull and the English level was suficient to understand each other.The car traffic in Okinawa is very slow so be patient:).

Veľmi spokojná s týmto zážitkom 🥳 Ďakujem nášmu sprievodcovi na kanoe, pánovi Mushovi, za jeho starostlivé vysvetlenie, ako pádlovať, predstavenie ekosystému mangrovníkov, stromov a jedinečných bahniakov a malých krabov v rieke Bise. 🙇‍♀️ *Malý tip: Ak sem prídete, nezabudnite si obliecť rýchloschnúce šortky – inak sa namočíte.* Zarezervovali sme si aktivitu na 11:00. Keď sme prišli skôr, personál nám pomocou anglických kartičiek pripomenul, aby sme si vzali uteráky a cennosti (ak si zabudnete uterák, môžete si ho kúpiť za 400 jenov). Potom nám pripravil šľapky a pádla. Najprv sme sa na brehu spoločne učili, ako pádlovať dopredu a rôznymi smermi, a až potom sme nastúpili do kanoe. Počas celej doby sme s naším sprievodcom objavovali ekosystém mangrovníkov rieky Bise. Ak sme mali nejaké problémy, sprievodca nám ochotne pomohol a odpovedal na naše otázky 😉✨ Ak budem mať príležitosť, prídem znova 🧡🙋🏻‍♀️ Odporúčam aj ostatným turistom.
