The Hija River has mangroves and other natural features unique to Okinawa. Before departure, the guide will introduce you to nature in the Hijagawa Nature Experience Center, and will guide you through the real thing while rowing on the water. Let's try to find the wonders of living things and plants by yourself!
We will slowly row the calm river, so people of a wide range of generations can enjoy together. Kayak is basically a two-seater, so by cooperating and paddling, communication will also be born ♪ Let's paddle together with your family, friends, and loved ones. Of course, you are also very welcome to participate alone ♪
Windbreakers, waterproof pants, and sandals are available for free rental. As long as you have clothes that are easy to move in and can get wet, you don't need any special preparations! You can make a reservation after you arrive in Okinawa, or you can make a reservation on the same day. There are nice facilities such as hot water showers, so you can leave immediately even if you have the next schedule!
