Description
The Kerama Islands are an idyllic chain of more than 30 islets in Okinawa, mostly uninhabited, about 40 km west of Naha City. Famous for their tranquility and the brilliance of their waters, they can be enjoyed even as a day trip from Okinawa’s main island. On these Kerama Islands snorkeling and kayak tours, even inexperienced swimmers and kayaking beginners can immerse themselves in Kerama blue. But there’s more! These guides on Zamami Island are devoted to preserving the rich, diverse nature of Keramashoto National Park. Your participation not only promises an introduction to the wonders of the Keramas, it also supports them in their conservation efforts outside the tour, keeping the park pristine for future generations! After each tour, your guide will upload photos they took to the cloud, for you to download later.
