Description
Looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life? Let Okinawa's natural wonders heal you! Book this tour to try two of Okinawa's popular water activities in a day: kayaking through a mangrove forest and boat fishing. Both activities are beginner-friendly — children as young as three years old, as well as first-timers, are more than welcome to join in!
On the boat fishing tour, try your luck catching colorful tropical fish at Kadena Port, where the tranquil, shallow, emerald-green waters are teeming with coral reefs and fish. If you're lucky enough to catch any fish, you can take them home or have them cooked at a nearby restaurant for a separate fee.
For the kayaking tour, you'll explore a mangrove forest. Because mangroves only grow in tropical and subtropical regions, they're a rarity in mainland Japan, but they're abundant in Okinawa. These trees grow in places where seawater fills up at high tide, such as estuaries. Mangrove forests tend to have unique ecosystems, so they're home to unique species of crabs and other fishes, as well as colorful plants and waterfowl. Try spotting unique flora and fauna as you kayak through the mangrove forest!
For both activities, all equipment will be provided, so all you have to do is show up! What's more, Kadena Port is strategically located near a main road (National Route 58), and is less than an hour's drive from Naha Airport or Onna Village, so it's easily accessible.
Book now for a day of fun, out on the waters of central Okinawa!
