Naha

Two activities, zero boredom! Explore the mythical Blue Cave with its bright blue glow and tropical fish, then hold tight: the Banana Boat is about to arrive! An explosive blend of wonder and aquatic fun.

• Snorkeling at the Blue Cave in Naha
• Crystal clear waters and interactions with the local wildlife
• Banana Boat trip

You'll set off from the pier with a single goal: to enjoy the ocean to the max! First stop: the spectacular Blue Cave in Naha, one of the most incredible natural wonders of Okinawa. Once you arrive, you'll find yourself face to face with a natural miracle: a sea cave sculpted by the waves, where the light of the sun filters through the water, creating electric blue reflections that even Photoshop couldn't replicate.

Slip on your snorkel and mask and dive into the blue: crystal clear waters await you, along with walls of rock sculpted by natural forces and a living aquarium that's so colorful that it looks like a painting.

But the adventure doesn't end here: you'll do some snorkeling surrounded by tropical fish darting between the coral, and you''ll even be able to feed them and watch them gather around you, in a dancing cloud of colors and fins!

And just when you think you've already had the best possible experience...the Banana Boat arrives! Climb aboard, hold on tight and get ready to zoom over the waves - it's one of Okinawa's most popular activities. Fun is guaranteed, with laughter included in the price!

Two experiences in one unique place, with no time to kill or unnecessary transfers: just sea, energy and memories that will make you smile for weeks.

• The facility will be closed in unstable weather conditions.
• Wetsuit and snorkel are included. Bring your beach towel with you!
• The tour is suitable for guests who can swim and are generally in good health.
• Maximum age for participation: 65 years.

We're taking you to one of the most exclusive beaches in Okinawa: White sand, picture-perfect sea and a resort that seems unreal. Not only relaxation – an experience to be enjoyed in style.

• Relax on one of the three most exclusive beaches in all Okinawa

We're offering you a true sensorial journey to paradise. We're taking you straight to one of the three “super-elite” beaches in all Okinawa, boasting a Minister of the Environment Award.
Imagine an expanse of white sand, a sea that looks photoshopped and, on the background, a resort so perfect that even the sky strikes a pose. The beach is extensive and with all the comforts of a luxury resort.
Not just sea: You come here to sparkle, to unwind like royalty, and to realize that, yes, a beach holiday is nice... but it's on a whole different level when done in style.

• There is no guide on this tour.
• It is not permitted to enter the hotel's stores and restaurants wearing only a swimsuit
• Availability of sun loungers/beach umbrellas for the day is dependent on arrival time to the beach.

The perfect combination of karate and meat: put your warrior spirit to the test and once you've sweated enough, reward yourself with a delicious Japanese BBQ dinner. Culture and flavor meet, and you'll be ready to fill up on both!

• Karate lesson at the Okinawa Karate Kaikan
• Japanese BBQ dinner
• Shopping and fun at Kokusai Dori

Let's start with a healthy dose of adrenaline! The Okinawa Karate Kaikan welcomes you to its temple of discipline, in the place where karate was born. Here, where this ancient martial art was first developed, you'll be able to work on your super powers. Learn the key moves of Okinawano karate: uke, thrust, kick… and who knows, maybe you'll turn into a mini Bruce Lee. Don't forget to immortalize the moment with a photo with your coach!

Then, once you've given it all you've got on the tatami, it's time to make peace with your stomach. High-quality Japanese meat, delectable Yakiniku BBQ and a flavor that will make you forget you tiredness in no time. Because you've worked hard, and now is the time to reward yourself.

And to end on a high, Kokusai Dori awaits you - the liveliest street in Naha, where shopping is a real adventure. Shops that tempt you in with original souvenirs, boutiques where you'll find things you didn't even know you wanted, and restaurants ready to get your stomach rumbling once again. In short, a perfect evening of sport, meat...and a little shopping to aid your digestion!

• Wear clothes and shoes that are suitable for physical activity and a towel for the training session.

Here's an experience that combines history with...the meat of your dreams. Yes, that's right: we're talking about a castle that will make you feel like you're part of a legend, plus a dinner that will really tickle your taste buds. An hour later, your stomach will thank you.

• Shuri Castle
• Epic dinner with Ishigaki Beef and Motobu Beef
• Kokusai Dori

We start with Shuri Castle, because Okinawa has much more to offer than just picture-postcard beaches. This castle is a fortress, but also a symbol of resistance, reborn from the ashes of the Second World War. Here, as you stand inside its ancient walls, you'll feel like a warrior ready to write the pages of your own history. And as you immerse yourself in this legendary atmosphere, don't forget to capture the moment: in a place like this, a picture is the best way to tell a story.

But don't get too distracted by history, because a special dinner awaits you!

And now, let's talk about meat. Not your average meat, mind you. We're talking about Ishigaki Beef - if this doesn't make you want to give a standing ovation, we don't know what will. Sourced directly from the Yaeyama district, it is so highly prized that it was served it to world leaders during a summit. It's not something you'll eat every day, and we can assure you that once you try it, you won't want to go back.

But don't think we're stopping here. Enter Motobu Beef, another meat which is something special – want to know the secret diet of these cows? A mix of fermented ingredients and...the dregs of Orion Beer. Yes, the diet fed to these beasts is so exclusive that if they had a passport, it would be stamped "VIP". The result? Meat that is so succulent and tender that you'll forget all others.

And if you're still hungry after all that meat… Kokusai Dori is the perfect place to finish your evening with a bang. In the free time that you have, you can get lost among the most lively street in Naha, where the restaurants will tempt you in to try another delicacy.
A little shopping to aid digestion? Stores full of souvenirs will make you want to fill up your suitcase. Unique items, crazy gadgets and souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else... just perfect!

• At Shuri Castle, in case of an internal visit, visitors are asked to remove their shoes.
• Shuri Castle was completely destroyed by a fire in 2016. Renovation work is currently underway and is scheduled for completion in 2026.
• The castle has a wheelchair-accessible path.

Okinawa is more than just beaches and sunshine, buddy! Ready to discover the liquid gold of the island and chow down on sweet treats that will make you lose your mind? We'll start with a tour that takes in tradition and flavor, leaving you with a sweet taste in your mouth and...perhaps even feeling a little merry.

• The Awamori distillery
• Awamori tasting
• Shopping at Kokusai Street

Hold tight: we start with the Awamori distillery. Do you like epic stories? Well, this is the tale of a spirit that has seen Okinawa grow, change and, above all, drink! With your guide beside you, you'll discover how this alcohol has written the history of the island – and of course, you'll also taste it, straight from the barrel! And don't worry, you don't need to be an expert to understand the flavors: we'll explain how to recognize the aromas and notes that will send your taste buds wild.

After the tour, you can take home a bottle of Awamori, directly from the factory (so you can impress your friends and relatives when you get home).

Then, as you turn the corner, you'll be met by Okashi Goten, where Okinawa's sweet treats challenge you to resist them. Try the Beniimo tart (made with the red sweet potato that everyone here loves) and get ready to lose your mind. If you're lucky, you might even find a delicacy that's just come out of the oven: warm cakes that will make you shout "I'll take them all!"

To finish, take a pleasant stroll on Kokusai Dori, Naha's main street. Here, you'll find plenty of kitsch souvenirs, along with some real gems that'll make you look even cooler. Boutiques, restaurants, bars, and a little local chaos – and then, if you still have it in you, enjoy a few drinks to end on a high note. Okinawa as you'd never have imagined it.

Get ready for a mix of historic thrills and total relaxation! First stop: the former underground headquarters of the Japanese Navy, where 4,000 soldiers hid during the bombings. Then? Head to Senagajima Umikaji Terrace, where you can eat, drink, shop and enjoy picture-postcard views. A journey brimming with "wow" moments!

• Former underground headquarters of the Japanese Navy
• Senagajima Umikaji Terrace: super-fresh food, shopping and views - free time.

Let's start off with a dose of hardcore history! The former underground headquarters of the Japanese Navy is a bunker which will catapult you directly into the midst of the Second World War. Carved out of the rock by 3,000 men in 1944, the tunnel is 450 meters long, and sheltered 4,000 soldiers. Here, you'll walk between the very walls that withstood the bombings, explore the restored rooms, and visit the commander's quarters, with its relics still intact. And when you look up, the view is incredible. You're between the airport and the port, it's hard not to be amazed...the atmosphere of war is already forgotten.

Then, we'll leave history behind us and enjoy a bit of life! Senagajima Umikaji Terrace is the place where you can eat the freshest tuna, have a drink at the "sub zero" bar, shop for hours in jewelry and craft shops, create "itosina" rings, and enjoy views of the ocean that are straight out of a postcard. If you need to relax, this is the place for you. From gourmet food to irresistible accessories and a sunset to take your breath away, you'll wonder how you ever managed to live without this experience!

• Wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for the experience.
• The excursion is not recommended for those with mobility problems.

From the serene charm of Shikina-en Garden to the majesty of Shuri Castle, with a mouth-watering typical dinner and a shopping spree on Kokusai Dori: this tour is your chance to experience Okinawa at its most authentic!

• Shikina-en Garden
• Shuri Castle
• Dinner and a typical show
• Shopping on Kokusai Street

We'll start at the legendary Shikina-en gardens, the most iconic in Okinawa, created in 1799 as an oasis of relaxation for Ryukyu's royals, as well as to host visiting Chinese diplomats. Take a walk and let the trees and plants – which have been specially selected to bloom every season – surprise you at every turn. Along with the bridge, the hexagonal pavilion and the forest, they'll make you feel that you're in a haven of serenity and beauty.

Then, get ready to take a leap into the past with Tama-udun, the mausoleum of the Sho dynasty, built in 1501, now a National Treasure and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don't be fooled by the scars of the past – the charm of this place demonstrates that true legends never fade, even after a conflict.

Then it's the turn of Shuri Castle, the beating heart of Okinawa's history. Despite the devastating fire of 2019, the castle is rising again, ready to reveal itself to you in all its grandeur. It'll surprise you for sure!

With a dinner that is typical of Okinawa, you can immerse yourself in the secrets of "kusuimun" cuisine. Unique flavors which tell the tale of ancient history. Every mouthful is a new discovery, to be savored with your eyes, your heart...and of course, your palate!

To finish on a high, get ready for a healthy dose of shopping in Kokusai Dori: between the shops, restaurants and souvenir shops, you'll find everything you were looking for, as well as some things you didn't even know you wanted! From traditional to trendy, there's always something that will make you say "I'm taking this home with me!"

• Shuri Castle was completely destroyed by fire in 2016; renovations are currently underway and are scheduled for completion in 2026.
• The castle has a wheelchair-accessible path.
• At Shuri Castle, visitors are asked to remove their shoes, in case of an internal visit.

Ruined castles, breathtaking roads and picture-postcard islands: if you thought that Okinawa was just beaches and sunshine, it's time to think again! A tour that you won't forget in a hurry awaits you.

• Ruins of Katsuren Castle
• Mid Sea Road

We begin with the ruins of Katsuren Castle, because who doesn't love a little “ruined castle” charm? This castle, which has been partially destroyed by the passing years (and earthquakes), is the epicenter of a battle between history and nature. Here you'll feel a little like a historical hero, with walls that tell the story of ancient grandeur, and a landscape that'll make you want to take a warrior-style selfie.

We'll continue on the Mid Sea Road, a panoramic road around 5 km long that connects the mainland with the main islands of the archipelago. Here, you'll feel like you're flying. Every curve reveals a stunning new spectacle, which will make you want to stop to take yet another photo. But it's not just the view that is striking - it's the atmosphere too. Islets, beaches and a sea that is so turquoise you might think that you've landed in a painting.

And when your stomach starts to rumble, tuck into a typical Japanese dinner, because if there's one thing that Okinawa knows how to do, it's nourish the soul...and the stomach!

• The castle is not wheelchair friendly. To arrive to the top there is a long uphill road and many high and steep steps. The guests with mobility issues can remain inside the interesting museum at the information center.

Naha is the heart of Okinawa, the perfect blend of ancient and modern! Visit the legendary Shureimon Gate, wander among the stalls of Kokusai Dori and get ready to go home with bags full of souvenirs... and maybe even food!

• Shureimon Gate
• Shopping on Kokusai Street

We'll start at Shureimon Gate, an icon that isn't afraid to stand out. This piece of history will make you feel important right away: we're at Shuri Castle, a world heritage site since 2000! Take the perfect photo, strike a pose worthy of an emperor and post it on Instagram – even if you're not a king or a queen, today you'll feel as if you are!
An interesting fact: Did you know that "Shurei" means "well-mannered"? And on the horizontal frame of the Shureimon Gate, "The land that observes good manners" is clearly written for all to see!

Then? Free time at Kokusai Dori, which is ready to greet you with its stalls, stores and of course food, which will really get your mouth watering. It's not just a street: it's the heart of Okinawa, where every step will take you closer to the soul of the island. But don't stop here, because at every turn you'll find alleyways equally deserving of your time and curiosity: discover Heiwa-dori with its retro style, as well as Kousetsu Ichiba that looks like an old-fashioned market, and where the fish is fresher than your holiday plans.

Looking for something really special? Tsuboya Yachimun Street is the place for you: with its unique ceramics, each piece is a true work of art, which tells of the traditions of Okinawa. And if you want to immerse yourself in the youngest and most lively vibes, Ukishima and Sakurazaka are the perfect place for you: from original stores to trendy bars and an atmosphere that will make you feel like you're at the heart of everything.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to go home with something that makes you say: “Yes, I'll remember Okinawa forever!”

More than just a tour, it's a dive into a side of Okinawa that you didn't expect: from the cliffs that drove a king to insanity to a village that takes you back in time, before finishing on a high with a healthy dose of shopping on Naha's most glamorous street. You coming?

• The Manzamou Cape cliffs
• Ryukyu Mura Village
• Free time and shopping on Kokusai Street

Let's start as we mean to go on, with a stop that will make you shout "WOW" from the top of your lungs before you even stop to think: Manzamou Cape! This cliff doesn't just offer simple views - it reveals an emerald-colored ocean like you've never seen before, making you wonder if a place like this can really exist. Indeed, when King Sho Kei saw it, he was so entranced that he declared that there was room for a thousand citizens here. And this is where the name “Manzamou” comes from: "Man" means a thousand, a tribute to how spacious and spectacular this place is at the same time, making you feel small in the face of its immensity.

Then we'll head to Ryukyu Mura Village, where time seems to have stood still. Traditional Okinawa-style houses (the real ones, not the tourist imitations!) from every corner of the archipelago, narrating traditions, crafts and customs that will make you feel as if you've been catapulted into another era. Not bad eh?

To finish on a high, we'll leave you some free time to go wild on Kokusai Dori, known as the "Miracle Mile" - the street that became the beating heart of Naha in the 1950s. A truly explosive mix of stores, restaurants and souvenir shops that push both tradition and modernity to the extreme. And if you don't pick up something to take home with you, well...we'll be forced to conclude that you're an alien!

• This activity is not recommended for travelers with reduced mobility.
• There is no extra time/location for currency exchange, so it is recommended that you prepare Japanese currency in advance.

From the explosion of greenery in the tropical gardens to the stunning views from Cape Manzanmo, ending up with a frenzied shopping spree on Kokusai Dori. With this tour, you'll experience all the contrasts and contradictions of Okinawa!

• Southeast Botanical Gardens
• Cape Manzamou
• Shopping on Kokusai Street

We'll set off from the Southeast Botanical Gardens, a paradise brimming with more than 30,000 plants. Allow yourself to be guided as you observe the various species and plunge into a world of greenery, flowers and even a few animals, to make your walk feel like a real adventure. Well, sort of!

Then, we'll head to Cape Manzamou, where a giant rock that looks like an elephant will reward you with incredible views over the ocean: it'll be like witnessing "Dumbo meets the sea”.

Finally, get ready for Kokusai Dori, where every step is an adventure among the stores, restaurants, bars, and more souvenirs than you could imagine buying in a lifetime. It'll be a mix of “What am I doing?” and “I want it all!”. If you don't go home with at least one souvenir (maybe a hat you'll never wear), you've officially failed your mission.

If you think that water is just for bathing, you couldn't be more wrong! First case in point: Kouri bridge, the longest toll-free bridge in Japan. Then it's off to the Churaumi Aquarium, with whale sharks and giant rays which will observe you from on high. And to end the day in style, enjoy a dinner with traditional Ryukyu dancing which will get your heart beating faster.
Do yourself a favor, and don't miss out!

• Kouri bridge
• Churaumi aquarium
• Typical dinner with traditional Ryukyu dance show

On board a comfortable bus, we'll start traveling along Kouri Bridge, the longest in Japan, where you can cross the water without spending a cent (yes, you read that right, it's toll free!). The bridge connects the island of Kouri to the rest of Okinawa, allowing you to literally fly over a sea that is so blue that it looks like something out of a painting. For a few moments, you might be left speechless!

Then, get ready for an epic visit to the Churaumi aquarium, the biggest in Japan as well as one of the largest in the world. Whale sharks, giant rays and yellowfin tuna dart past before your eyes, showing you Okinawa's marine life at various depths. The main tank is gigantic: 35 meters long, 27 meters wide, and so deep that you'll feel like you've been plunged in the ocean itself. With 80 different species, it's like stepping inside a nature documentary. What more could you ask for?

After making the most of all these marine wonders, it's time for a little shopping at Yanbaru Ikono Mori Park! Here, you can fill up on souvenirs and unique mementos for friends and relatives who couldn't make it out here with you. There's something for everyone, so you'll have no problem finding the perfect Okinawa piece to take home with you.

To end on a high, a dinner with local dishes is a must, made even more typical by the traditional Ryukyu dance accompaniment. You'll find yourself immersed in a mix of rhythms and colors, which will transport you to the beating heart of Okinawa. Every step made by the dancers will bring you closer to understanding the soul of this island. And while you eat, you'll ask yourself: "How come I never came here before?"

• The tour includes lunch or dinner, subject to availability.

Jump aboard our comfortable bus just below the ship, and get ready to experience Okinawa World however you like. Total freedom: explore the history, the culture and the nature of Okinawa at your own pace. Enjoy the park until the last minute - we'll take care of getting you back on board when the time is right.

• Okinawa World the way you want

And off we go! From the port of Naha, hop on board our comfortable bus and in just about an hour, you'll be able to enjoy the experience of Okinawa World.

Start with Kingdom Village, a real time machine that will catapult you back into the past, to the golden age of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The faithful reconstruction of the traditional red-roofed houses will make you feel as if you've stepped inside a postcard. Head to the Traditional Crafts Village, where you observe master craftsmen and women at work weaving and dyeing fabrics, making objects out of glass, paper or porcelain, and crafting musical instruments. And if you're feeling creative, why not put your skills to the test too? Create your unique souvenir to take home with you, made with your own fair hand!

You can also get lost in the magic of Gyokusendo, a spectacular limestone cave that has grown up from a coral reef. Amidst the stalactites, stalagmites, waterfalls and tiny lakes of turquoise blue water, you'll forget the world above you.

And if you fancy a little adrenaline, the heroic Eisa Dance will sweep you up in an explosion of rhythm and tradition, while the incredible Habu Show will introduce you to local snakes in all their captivating... sinuousness!

But don't be scared, it's up to you what you explore and when: Okinawa World is a blank canvas just waiting for you to paint your own adventure!

• There are around 130 steps in the Gyokusendo cave. As such, this tour is not recommended for guests in wheelchairs or with disabilities.

During this tour, you will visit the newly opened popular tourist attractions Senagashima Sea Breeze Terrace and Kokusai Street.

Ruined castles and a healthy dose of shopping: if you thought that Okinawa was just beaches and sunshine, it's time to think again!

• Ruins of Katsuren Castle
• Shopping at the Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom

We'll start with a visit to the ruins of Katsuren Castle, because who can resist that "ruined castle" charm? This ancient castle, marked by the passing of time and by earthquakes, is the place where history and nature come together in a powerful embrace. Within its walls, which tell the tale of its former glory, you'll almost feel like a hero, with views that invite you to take a warrior-style selfie, ready to relive a piece of history.

And after plunging into the past, we'll dip into some shopping too, at the Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom, a shopping center that'll make your head spin! Here, among the stylish stores and incredible restaurants, you'll find everything you could possibly dream of (including things you didn't even know you wanted!) And before leaving, snap a few photos with the majestic Shiisaa, the guardian statues, and take home a little of Okinawa's magic.

If you think an aquarium is just a tank with fish in it, you couldn't be more wrong! At the Churaumi Aquarium, whale sharks and giant rays will make you feel like a goldfish in a sea of giants. Then, shop like a real VIP at the Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom, and take home not only accessories, clothing and souvenirs, but also a little piece of Okinawa's soul.

• Churaumi aquarium
• Shopping at the Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom

At the Churaumi Aquarium, with its 740+ sea creatures and 77 tanks, get ready for a full immersion in the heart of the ocean, where whale sharks and giant rays will make you feel like a little fish amongst the giants of the sea (and you'll love it!). Don't miss the "Black Stream", the 8.2 meter high tank that will make you feel like you're part of an undersea documentary: with its vaulted ceiling, it'll seem as if you're walking through an underwater tunnel, surrounded by enormous sharks and rays swooping right past you. And if you think that little visitors have already had all the fun there is to be had, just you wait: the dolphin show is so exciting that it'll get your heart beating faster too!

But that’s not all. After exploring the depths of the ocean, we'll move onto the Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom, the shopping center that'll make your head spin! Here, among the stylish stores and incredible restaurants, you'll find everything you could possibly dream of (including things you didn't even know you wanted!)
