Enjoy a sense of unity with nature with a mangrove kayak! The mangrove of the Oura River, which pours into Oura Bay, which is rich in biodiversity, is one of the largest in Okinawa and is said to be in the best preserved state in Okinawa. It is said that the richness of Oura Bay is due to the nutrients in the Yanbaru Forest slowly permeating the sea through the mud. We will guide you not only about the ecology of mangroves but also about the relationship between the forest of Yanbaru and the sea ♪ You can enjoy kayaking with peace of mind without waves, so it is perfect for families with young children.
