- Mangrove kayaks are representative plants of the subtropics.
- The Hija River is home to mangroves and other natural wonders unique to Okinawa. Before departure, your guide will introduce you to the natural environment at the Hija River Nature Experience Center, and then paddle along while showing you the real thing. Be sure to explore the wonders of the creatures and plants for yourself!
- A tour popular with a wide range of generations!
- We'll be paddling slowly down a calm river, so people of all ages can enjoy it together. Kayaks are typically two-seaters, so paddling together fosters communication! Let's paddle together with family, friends, or loved ones. Of course, solo participants are also very welcome!
- Easy access!
- With easy access from National Route 58, a major arterial road on Okinawa Island, and conveniently located both in the south where Naha Airport is located and in the central and northern parts where Churaumi Aquarium is situated, the location is excellent from a transportation standpoint! If you want to enjoy swimming and snorkeling in addition to mangrove kayaking, Hija River is highly recommended♪
Same-day reservations are welcome! You can still participate even if you have to change your reservation at the last minute♪
Just 45 minutes from Naha! Perfect for a quick getaway!
