Great coral reef tour with very fantastic tour guide - We had a really fantastic private tour with Nik. It was my first trip in a kayak and Nik did a great job explaining everything. The coral reef that we visited by kayak was very impressive. There was no one else there apart from us, which was really nice. Nik also gave us lots of tips on what to do in Okinawa. We can highly recommend the tour to everyone!

Amazing experience - This was one of my highlights during my trip to Okinawa. WOW!!!!! Amazing to see all those tropical fish up close, and the kayaking is very easy as there are no waves (at least when I visited) so you can kayak for a long time without getting tired. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area! I think this is probably better than going to Cape Maeda to snorkel as it's private and I did not see one other person snorkeling or kayaking when I went. (but I didn't go snorkeling at Cape Maeda, just visited, so I can't fully compare)

Beautiful Day - We had the best day snorkeling and kayaking with our guide Nik. There were a surprising number of colorful fish and coral right off the beach. The water was warm and really pleasant! He really tailored the tour to our ability and the weather (water and wind currents). I’d highly recommend to get out of the city and take this tour.

A great day! - We had a wonderful day with Nik as our guide! Beforehand we could choose the program: we went for seeing the mangroves and the coastline during the kayak tour. In the morning he picked us up (a great extra service). The kayak tour was very relaxing. However, the highlight of our trip was definitely snorkeling in the reef. We saw so many beautiful corals and animals (even an octopus). During lunch Nik even brought donut sticks for us to taste. Thank you!

Incredible scenery, great tour guide and everlasting memories - What an amazing experience! Definitely recommend this tour and Nik as the guide, it was a highlight of our trip.
We did the kayak and snorkeling tour and as we had little previous experience, Nik talked us through everything and made us feel at ease. He provided all the gear including wetsuits as the water was chilly at that time of year. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to get to know during our tour.
We stopped at the most beautiful snorkeling spots and the kayaking route was incredible. The turquoise sea and colorful fish is something I'll never forget! Thankfully Nik also took photos of us underwater snorkeling so we're able to cherish those memories! Thanks so much for this experience :)

Great Experience! - Our kayak and snorkeling adventure was a highlight of our time in Japan. Nik was a wonderful guide as he gave options and ensured we enjoyed every minute of our day. He prepared snacks and beverages during our journey, an unexpected treat! The snorkeling locations were fabulous. He was friendly and patient with a sense of humor. I highly recommend you book!

Fantastic Ocean Kayaking Experience - Nik made the whole experience easy and fun! He is professional, courteous and a knowledgeable guide. I really enjoyed him taking me around and showing off the beautiful surroundings of Okinawa’s waters. His gear was nice and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend booking with him for a great ocean kayaking experience! Hopefully Nik will send me the great photos he took but I don’t have them yet for this post.
