- Frequently asked questions about this plan
-
Q. Is there a parking lot near the meeting place?
Parking is available. Parking spaces are available at the store where we will meet.
Q. What is the difference between the two?I will be returning on an evening flight, can I join a kayak tour that day?Of course, you can join the kayak tour even on the day you return from Okinawa.
It will take about 2 hours to get to Naha Airport from Hishagawa (meeting place) where the kayak tour is held, and to return the rental car.
Q. What is the difference between the two?Can I go on a kayak tour even if I can't swim?Even if you are not a good swimmer, it is okay! On kayak tours, everyone must wear a life jacket to get into the kayak.
The kayaks are also highly buoyant and stable, with models that are resistant to capsizing, so please feel free to join us.
Q. What is the difference between the two?If it rains, will kayak tours be cancelled?basicallyTours are held even if it rains.The weather is very good. Put on your rain gear and let's go.
However, depending on the amount of rainfall, we may cancel the tour at our discretion for the safety of our customers if the river current becomes too strong or if the water surface conditions are not good. We will contact you if the tour is cancelled or the tour time is changed.
Q. What is the difference between the two?What should I bring and wear on the day of the event?Hat, drink (plastic bottle is recommended), change of clothes, towel, bug spray, rain or cold weather gear depending on season and weather. Please wear clothes that are easy to move in and can get wet.
(You will be knee-deep in water when getting in and out of the kayak, and there will be some splashing while paddling.)
Q. What is the difference between the two?Can pregnant women participate?We are very sorry,Pregnant women are not allowed to attend.
Kayaking tours are not without risk of falls due to slippery surfaces underfoot.Because kayaks may come into contact with each other and there is a possibility of unexpected impact, we consider the health of our guests our top priority and do not allow pregnant women to participate in the tour.
