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 ♪
It is easily accessible from the main highway "National Route 58" on the main island of Okinawa, and it is easy to reach from the southern part where Naha Airport is located and from the central and northern part where Churaumi Aquarium is located, so the location is ◎ from the viewpoint of movement! In addition to mangrove kayaking, if you want to enjoy swimming and snorkeling, the Hija River is recommended ♪
