Product Info
The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.
- The Hija River, where we conduct our kayak tours, is very calm and safe for children as young as two years old. We offer five tours a day, regardless of high or low tide (9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 13:00, and 15:00), with an impressive 95% success rate! It's one of the few activities that's easy to plan and can be enjoyed even in the rain! Friends, families, groups, and solo travelers are all welcome! While kayaking, you can observe mangroves, see banyan trees where the spirit Kijimuna resides, and a variety of subtropical plants. There are also many other fascinating creatures to discover, such as large hermit crabs (a natural monument), cute fiddler crabs, and the big-eyed Tontonmi! Explore together with our guide! When making a reservation, our dedicated booking staff will not only offer our services but also provide attentive support to help you make your Okinawa trip a success!
- 《Even first-timers can feel at ease!》
- We'll give you a thorough lesson from scratch on how to hold the paddle, how to operate the kayak, and tips for paddling smoothly. Our guides will kindly explain things like precautions for getting in and out of the kayak, and answer any questions you may have. We also have Okinawan staff members! You might even get to hear some Okinawan dialect during the tour♪ The river is wide and the current is gentle, so you can enjoy a leisurely experience while feeling close to nature. The possibility of capsizing is close to zero, but in the unlikely event of an emergency, all of our guides are certified water rescuers, so please participate with peace of mind.
- ≪Guided photography and data download included≫
- There are so many moments during the tour that you'll want to capture in photos, like your child paddling a kayak or when you spot some wildlife! Our guides will ensure you don't miss any opportunities to take great shots, as they know all the best photo spots based on the weather and time of day. We can even take large group photos on the river! We'll send you the digital data of your precious memories free of charge on the same day! (Airdrop, LINE, email, etc.) ≪☆Our Special Service☆≫ If you prefer to take your own photos, we also offer free smartphone case rentals, so please let us know if you're interested!
