"Okinawa Tropical Fishing" is a great experience even for beginners! Introducing recommended fishing boat plans that depart from near the Churaumi Aquarium!

I think the biggest attraction of fishing in Okinawa is the fact that you can "set out on a boat on the beautiful sea and play under the blue sky."

Parasailing is a standard activity in tropical countries, but surprisingly, many people don't know what it is. It's a simple and straightforward activity where you fly in the sky like a kite towed by a boat, but the name doesn't match it. Paragliding can be easily confused with sky activities like hang gliding. That's true.

The most popular activity in Miyakojima, Okinawa! Introducing our recommended plan for "SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board)"!

2019/06/27

Hello everyone who is watching Activity Japan. I'm Shishimaru. After watching the animated movie "Children of the Sea", I really wanted to go to the sea. The depiction of the sea is very beautiful, and the depiction of whales, whale sharks, sea turtles, and other sea creatures is also very good, so I started reading the original manga. In it, there was a line that said, "Snorkeling may seem like a casual pastime, but in fact there are many fatal accidents." "On the other hand, if you get the hang of it, it's very useful. It will expand your world." I really empathized with this. My world really expanded after I started snorkeling. The sea is so vast. SUP has expanded my world in the same way. I will introduce the appeal of SUP, which you can start very easily if you rent the necessary equipment.

A sea kayak is a type of canoe that is compact, measuring about 3 to 4 meters in length, and is suitable for shallow waters and rocky areas. It is propelled by rowing through the water using a paddle with blades on both ends. One of its attractions is that it moves forward, rather than backwards like a boat, which is rowed with two oars. It is close to the water's surface, so you can observe underwater creatures such as tropical fish and coral reefs while rowing.

The latest information for 2019! 3 popular and recommended tour plans for the popular Okinawa main island activity "parasailing"!

2019/06/15

Parasailing (sometimes called parashine, parasail, or paraking) is popular in tropical resorts such as Hawaii and Guam overseas, and Okinawa in Japan. It is a marine sport in which you soar from the sea into the sky while being pulled by a motorboat with a parachute attached to a rope. Since you are only being pulled by the motorboat, it does not require difficult piloting skills, and you can enjoy an exhilarating and impressive panoramic view of the sky and sea. The parachute is tethered to the motorboat, and takeoff and landing are all done on board. It is much easier to fly than paragliding, which requires you to take off on your own.
