Product Info
- The Hija River, where we hold our kayak tours, is very calm and safe for children as young as 2 years old to enjoy. Regardless of the tide, we offer 5 sessions a day (9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00). With a 95% operation rate, it is easy to fit into your travel plans and is one of the few activities you can enjoy even in the rain! Friends, families, groups, and solo travelers are all welcome! While paddling your kayak, you can observe mangroves, as well as see banyan trees, said to be home to Kijimuna spirits, and a variety of subtropical plants. There is so much to see, including large natural monument hermit crabs, cute fiddler crabs, and mudskippers with their big, round eyes! Let us explore together with our professional guide!! When you book, our dedicated reservation staff will not only help with our menu but will also kindly support your entire Okinawa trip!
- 《Safe for beginners!》
- We provide thorough, step-by-step instructions on how to hold the paddle, operate the kayak, and tips for moving smoothly. Our guides will kindly teach you everything you need to know, including how to get on and off safely. We have local Okinawan staff on board, so you might even hear some 'shimakutuba' (local dialect) during the tour! The river is wide and the current is gentle, allowing you to experience nature at a leisurely pace. While the chance of capsizing is near zero, all our guides are certified 'Water Rescue Technicians' in the unlikely event of an emergency, so please join us with peace of mind.
- ≪Free photo shoot & data by your guide≫
- There are so many moments you will want to capture during the tour, such as your child paddling or when wildlife appears! To ensure you do not miss a single moment, our guides will take the best shots for you! We know all the most photogenic spots based on the weather and time of day, so leave it to us! We can even take group photos on the river! We will provide your precious memories as free data on the same day! (Airdrop, LINE, email, etc.) ≪☆Our Special Service☆≫ If you would like to take photos yourself, we also offer free smartphone case rentals, so please feel free to ask!
