Overview

Discover the beauty of Northern Okinawa's Yanbaru region at your pace on a private kayak tour with a native English-speaking guide. Explore mangroves and learn about this incredible ecosystem, or paddle through lagoons and over coral reefs. This private tour is tailored to your group's skill level and interests. After booking, we'll contact you to plan your ideal experience.

We meet at a suitable location where you can use the restroom and grab a drink before heading to the launch site. After a brief introduction to kayaking, we'll set off on your adventure.

Launch locations and routes depend on weather, sea conditions, and your group's preferences and abilities. Explore areas such as Kouri Island, Nakijin and Motobu's lagoons and reefs, Yagaji Island, and Haneji Inland Sea. Discover secluded beaches, mangroves, and remote islands.
