Best outdoor experience Okinawa - The guide was so nice! He brought snacks and tea. Was knowledgeable about the wildlife. Really friendly and easy to get along with/talk too. I couldn’t recommend this more, it’s a must! Such a great experience!

Great subtropical jungle family experience - Very worthwhile adventure with splendid nature and a refreshing plunge at the jungle waterfall. Nik took great care and time to explain wildlife and nature with a very sympathetic individual touch. Would highly recommend for families and couples. For the more sportive one may extend the walk beyond.

Northside In Nago-area With Nik... - On July 4th weekend, we experienced a really nice hike in a very nice waterfall area of Nago! The tour guide, Nik, was really great to work with and he definitely knew his trekking area. He did an excellent job from start to finish with supplying equipment and sharing refreshments.

Jungle hike with great swimming opportunities - Nik responded immediately to the request. Everything could be solved online. Meeting at the meeting point worked great and then we had a great hike through the river in the jungle to 2 waterfalls where we bathed extensively. Nik was extremely relaxed, it was really fun!

First time river trekking experience (3 hours) - The rainy season that day has caused the waterfall to be intense, but as a sporty person, I enjoyed it a lot. I came all the way from Naha by bus, fortunately there’s a pickup point in Nago you can confirm with Nik. However I really recommend driving there, so you won’t be too tired.
