I wanted to get away from the busyness of everyday life for a while, so I took my first ATV tour as a solo traveler. I wasn't confident in my driving skills, but the guide was very attentive and I quickly got used to it. The exhilarating feeling of running through the forest was exceptional, and I was thrilled from start to finish. I felt like a child again in the nature of Okinawa. It was easy to access from Churaumi Aquarium and easy to incorporate into our sightseeing schedule. Next time I would like to come back with my daughter.

Our guide was Yuya Ishii and he was great! It was not a one-way commentary, but a lot of quizzes. The style of the tour was to make us think, so we got explanations, knowledge, and communication, which was a lot of fun! If I can come again, I would like to ask Yuya Ishii to be my guide!

I joined the tour with a friend, and although I thought it would be suitable for families with children from 3 years old, it was fun enough for adults alone! The walk to the waterfall was moderate exercise, and the spectacular view of the waterfall blew away my fatigue~~. It was an extraordinary experience that refreshed me.
