- Course Details -

Two courses to choose from based on the scene

[Mangrove Exploration Kayak]

①9:00 / ②11:00 / ③13:00 / ④15:00

The Hija River, which has the largest basin area on the main island of
Okinawa, features lush mangrove forests along its lower banks, providing a
home to countless creatures. This tour allows you to paddle through the quiet
river yourself, enjoy views from the water that you would not normally see,
and observe rare subtropical wildlife.

[Sunset + Night Kayak Tour]

Paddle out to the mouth of the river where it meets the sea just before
sunset, when the sky and ocean turn orange, and watch the sun dip into the
East China Sea. Drifting on the waves in your kayak while watching the sunset
is an indescribably moving experience. Enjoy the transition of the scenery
from dusk to night.
