Plan Overview
Go on a nighttime jungle exploration tour
Miyakojima Island, located about 300 km southwest of the main island of Okinawa, is a popular tourist destination with its beautiful clear blue ocean and white sandy beaches. However, in addition to its beautiful sea, Miyakojima, surrounded by rich nature, has a mysterious night jungle that shows a different face from that of the daytime.
During the day, Miyako Island is crowded with tourists, but once the sun sets, the island transforms into a world of tranquility. When the city lights go out and the moonlight illuminates the trees, a fantastic scene unfolds that can never be seen in the daytime. The jungle exploration tour is the best way to experience the great nature of Miyako Island at night.
A short walk from the hotel, the streetlights go out and a world of silence envelops you in pitch black darkness. It is natural to feel a touch of uneasiness in the darkness, so dark that you can hardly see anything when you look around.
However, such anxiety is dispelled by the presence of our guides, whose smiling faces are always pleasant to see.
Experienced guides not only guide you through the jungle at night, but also make sure that each participant is safe while on the tour. The guide’s bright smile and careful explanations will fill you with a sense of security and excitement, even in the pitch-dark jungle at night.
During the day, the jungles of Miyakojima are bathed in sunlight and full of life, but at night they transform into a world of mysterious silence.
At night, the jungle is filled with the breath of life, as creatures that are hidden from view during the day come to life.
One of the most fascinating animals that attracts many tourists is the coconut crab, a giant crab found only in the subtropical zone. With its huge, stocky body and powerful gait, it is truly the king of the jungle at night.
The sight of the coconut crab, which is usually hard to see, is truly a rare experience. The guide, who loves living creatures, will lead you to a completely the Secret spot that no one knows about, where you will have a high chance of encountering coconut crabs, so there will be plenty of photo opportunities.
Amidst the jungle trees, one occasionally looks up at the sky and sees a breathtaking star-filled sky.
At night on Miyako Island, with few city lights and a clear atmosphere, you can view a starry sky so beautiful that you would never be able to see it in the city.
Countless stars twinkle in the jet-black night sky and seem as if they are within reach. Gazing at the star-filled sky in the silence of the jungle, you will forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and feel at peace.
Furthermore, free pick-up and drop-off service is available throughout Miyakojima Island (negotiable for outlying islands), so access is convenient.
