Recommended activity ranking for beginners in the sea!

★No. 1 Marine Activity

If you want to enjoy the sea in an exciting way, we recommend activities such as marble, ski biscuits, and banana boats. I'm running on the sea while being pulled by a water bike. Popular as a sea play with excitement MAX. And if you want to enjoy a 360-degree sky and a large panorama of the sea at the same time, parasailing and paragliding are recommended. The sea of cobalt blue and coral reefs from above the clear sky are inevitable! It doesn't get wet, so you don't have to swim.

★2nd place sea kayak

Sea kayak, where you can see the ocean from the same height as the sea surface, offers an impressive experience that cannot be enjoyed in other activities. The world that spreads depending on the place and time is infinite. The real pleasure of sea kayaking is that you can relax at your own pace while watching the coral reefs spreading under the kayak and the fish swimming underwater. Kayak is a type of canoe and has a different paddle shape, making it easy for beginners to control. The tour with sea kayaking and snorkel in the blue cave is also popular.

"mangrove Kayak" is a place where you can feel the great nature of Yanbaru in northern Okinawa Island. The mangrove, which grows on the banks of the Keisaji River in Higashimura, is one of the largest in Motojima and is designated as a national natural monument. As you proceed to the tributaries of the river, the subtropical greens that grow on the left and right make you feel like a jungle expedition. On the tour, a guide who knows Yanbaru will carefully explain the creatures that live in plants and mangroves. There is also a course that goes from the Keisaji River through Keisaji Bay to the Pacific Ocean.

★5th place experience diving

You can experience the underwater world that is a bit different from snorkels. Unlike fan diving, "experience diving" is something that even those who do not have a license can participate. Before diving, practice how to use instructors and equipment and how to pull out ears, so even beginners can feel safe. Go into the sea with the support of the instructor. The experience diving is at a maximum depth of about 5 meters, but you can see the colorful tropical fish gathering on coral reefs up close.

Snorkel where you can see the blue and yellow fish playing around the coral reefs in a position where you can reach. There is no doubt that children will be excited about a world different from the aquarium! There are many shops in Okinawa that hold chartered tours with instructors alone per group, so you can enjoy them slowly at the children's pace without worrying about the surroundings. If you have difficulty using underwater masks or snorkels, take a look into the sea with box glasses (underwater peeping glasses).

The bottom of the boat is covered with glass, and it moves to the point where the fish wait. Because of the highly transparent sea of Okinawa, you can see many fish from the glass window while traveling or berthing.
