Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Hija River

Sa aking paglalakbay sa Okinawa, sa tingin ko ang sunset kayak tour ang pinaka-highlight! Malungkot ako dahil umulan nang tatlong araw pagdating ko sa Okinawa, pero pagkasakay ko sa kayak, tumigil ang ulan at lumabas ang araw kasama ang dobleng bahaghari :) Sobrang saya ko habang pinapanood ang paglubog ng araw. Gayunpaman, bago lumabas sa dagat, medyo nag-atubili akong ilubog ang aking mga paa dahil sobrang itim ng tubig sa lugar kung saan sumasakay sa kayak (parang putik na tubig). Sa anumang kaso, siguradong mababasa ang iyong sapatos/damit kaya siguraduhing magdala ng tsinelas, at kung ayaw mong mabasa ang iyong damit, siguraduhing magdala ng kapote!!! Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang kayak sa magandang panahon 🙌🏻

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!

great experience, we were very late and they were ok with us arrive late, nice quick easy kayak around the river and the host took photos and sent it to us afterwards.

We had a very satisfying experience! 🥳 A big thank you to our canoe guide, Musashi-san, for patiently explaining how to paddle, introducing us to the mangrove ecosystem, the trees, and the unique mudskippers and small crabs of the Hija River. 🙇‍♀️ *A little tip: Remember to wear quick-drying shorts when you come here, otherwise you'll get wet!* We had booked the 11 AM activity. When we arrived early, the staff used English flashcards to remind us to bring towels and valuables (if you forget a towel, you can buy one for 400 yen). Afterward, he prepared slippers and paddles for us. We first learned how to paddle forward and in different directions together on the shore before getting into the canoe. We followed the guide throughout the entire journey, exploring the Hija River mangrove ecosystem. If we encountered any difficulties along the way, the guide was happy to help and answer our questions. 😉✨ We'd love to come back again! 🧡🙋🏻‍♀️ We also highly recommend this to other tourists.

The guide was very kind, and we could even ride out to the sea, which was absolutely amazing! However, if you're not in good physical shape, it might be a bit challenging. Haha.

The animal park isn't huge, but it's enough for about three hours of fun. You can get quite close to the animals; the lions are very white and large, and the anteaters were surprisingly active. There are feeding experiences available for sheep, capybaras, guinea pigs, rabbits, deer, bears, swans, pigeons, and fish. It was my first time feeding a bear! Next to it, there's a small science museum where you can play for a bit and enjoy the air conditioning.

Dumating kami bandang 7:15 ng gabi para sa night illumination lamang. Binili namin ang aming mga tiket sa Klook, at mabilis at madali ang pagkuha nito sa ticketing office. Ang parke ay medyo tahimik sa gabi, na nagbigay ng napakarelaks at kasiya-siyang karanasan. Makikita ang mga ligaw na pato na malayang naglalakad sa paligid ng parke, na nagdaragdag sa ganda nito. Maraming kawili-wiling light installation sa buong hardin. Isa sa mga highlight para sa amin ay ang lotus pond, kung saan ang ilaw ay gumagalaw ayon sa ritmo ng musika, na lumilikha ng napakagandang at nakaka-engganyong karanasan. Gumugol kami ng halos isang oras sa paglalakad sa parke at pagmamasid sa lahat. Libre ang paradahan, na isang dagdag na kaginhawaan. Sa pangkalahatan, ito ay tiyak na isang lugar na sulit bisitahin kung mayroon kang dagdag na oras sa iyong itinerary, lalo na para sa karanasan ng night illumination.

if you’re interested in the past of Okinawa island and want to learn and enjoy about it and its traditions, you should visit Ryukyu Mura! It’s not like Disney or USJ for sure, but we had such a great time there, the staff is so friendly and welcoming

This was such a unique & fun experience that we will remember for forever. Our instructor was so knowledgeable & patient. He explained every step beforehand & walked us through the entire process. Now we get to go home with an amazing souvenir Absolutely recommend if you want a life-long experience & treasure.
