Okinawa Colorful Miyakojima 1-Day Sightseeing Bus Tour: Makiyama Observatory, 17END Sunayama Beach, Cape Nishihennazaki, Shimajiri Mangrove Park

The itinerary was well-timed and the tour guide was very attentive in introducing the attractions. It is especially suitable for tourists who want to visit Okinawa and Miyako Island. As the last day of the trip, the whole trip ended around 4 pm, and there was still time for passengers to catch the last flight back to Okinawa.

Okinawa Day Tour | Tokashiki Island Aharen Beach | Depart from Naha

I've been to Okinawa several times, and my first island hopping trip started near Naha. Tokashiki Island is definitely worth a visit, and the KKDAY package with boat and shuttle service is very convenient. My son and I didn't snorkel, but just hanging out on the beach was plenty. The nearby guesthouses also rent swimming rings, masks, life jackets, and more—everything you need. Walking down the beach to the large rocky area, I was pleasantly surprised to see hermit crabs.

I feel that the cruise vacation is good, with food, entertainment and sleep, it is a good choice for the elderly and children. The entertainment facilities are good, mainly for listening to music and relaxing, accompanied by wonderful performances. Three days and two nights, it is really hard to leave. So I will take a longer cruise vacation if I have the opportunity in the future. Overall, I am very satisfied.
