Product Info
- Experience kayaking through the largest mangrove forest on the main island of Okinawa and in the emerald green sea!! Recommended for those who want to enjoy both subtropical nature and the tropical ocean. This is a completely private tour limited to one group, so we can accommodate your schedule. *Bookings are per group. Pricing varies depending on the number of participants. Recommended for families with small children and honeymooning couples!! Since you have a private guide, you can feel free to ask questions about the mangroves and the nature and culture of Yanbaru. We will gift you the photos and videos taken by your guide during the tour♪ We will also provide a short movie (2-3 minutes) edited from the photos and videos!! 【Notice Regarding Tour Price Revision from April】 We would like to share an important announcement regarding the revision of our tour prices. Unlike many of our competitors, we strive to increase customer satisfaction by offering completely private tours limited to one group and by focusing on obtaining top-class qualifications within the prefecture to improve guide skills and ensure safe tour operations. Until now, we have offered our services at price points similar to those of our competitors. However, in addition to recent price increases, the newly enacted 'Higashi Village Official Guide Utilization Promotion Ordinance' has led to rising operating costs, including fees for maintaining our registration as an eco-tour operator in Higashi Village. Consequently, it has become difficult to maintain our current service levels at the existing price range. Based on the current situation and future outlook, we have decided to revise our tour prices. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers. We believe this is necessary to continue providing high-quality tours. We hope you understand that this revision is part of our growth and the improvement of our guides' skills.
- Completely Private!!
- A 'completely private tour limited to one group' that prioritizes customer satisfaction and safety!! Even elementary school children and women who are not confident in their physical strength can participate with peace of mind. We will provide a tour tailored to your needs. It is also recommended for honeymooning couples as you can create memories just for the two of you.
- Safe for Beginners!!
- A guide with over 20 years of kayaking experience will carefully teach you how to operate the kayak. Since the tour is limited to small groups of 6 or fewer, the guide can keep a close watch on everyone, ensuring your safety!!
- Guided by a Local Resident!!
- A guide living in the nature-rich 'Yanbaru' region in the northern part of Okinawa's main island will show you around, sharing plenty of local insights. Let's enjoy the nature and culture of Okinawa and Yanbaru, which are different from those of mainland Japan!!
