Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about canoe/kayak tours in Okinawa Island

Q. What is the difference between a sea kayak and a canoe?
A boat paddled with a "double-blade paddle," which has two "blades" attached to the end of the paddle, is called a kayak, while a boat paddled with a single blade is called a canoe.
Q. Can beginners canoe and kayak?
Canoeing and kayaking are activities that even beginners can enjoy. Since these activities take place in the great outdoors, please dress for safety and comfort.
Q. Is it necessary to wear a swimsuit?
Because of the splashing and wetting, you should first wear a bathing suit. The basic style is to wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants over that. Avoid exposing your skin to the sun, as prolonged exposure to the sun will consume more of your energy than expected.

We were a family of three, and since there were only three of us on the tour, we were able to experience the mangroves at our leisure. At the end of the tour, we were allowed to stand on the air-filled sand that came out of the mangrove trees, and the bubbling bubbles and the feeling of the sand was wonderful. I was sent a lot of photo data after the tour and was very satisfied with the tour. I wonder if it was available because reservations were made by request and could not be completed on the spot. I highly recommend it.

Our tour guide was very nice and took many lovely pictures however the tour was really poorly planned. Expected a full day of activities but the itinerary was really only around 3 hours with most of the time spent on travelling. Also expected that most of the activities would be done in the Yanbaru national park itself, however the kayaking was done in quite a dirty dam and beach area, and it was a very short river trek to the tataki waterfall with not much view of the national park at all. The wetsuits and boots provided had holes and were clearly very old and worn. “as advertised and wouldn't recommend if you were expecting to get an experience of the national park, especially given the Overall it wasn't ”luxury " as advertised and wouldn't recommend if you were expecting to get an experience of the national park, especially given the price.

I rode with my small child. Since we could see through the feet, my child peeked into the water and was very excited the whole time. The drone photography is also a nice service. It would have been better if hats were available for rent since the sun was so strong.

We chose the private plan because our child was small. It was like exploring the mangrove jungle, and my child seemed to enjoy it from start to finish. The staff was also very helpful in adjusting to my child's pace.

The pleasant breeze as we crossed the ocean by kayak and the quiet beach on the deserted island really soothed me... The fish we found while snorkeling were lovely, and I was happy to receive a high quality video of them! I recommend this trip for girls!
