【Okinawa Main Island】Sea kayak tour

What is sea kayaking?

Sea kayaking is an activity in which one moves freely in a small boat on the ocean.
It is a popular marine activity in Okinawa because it is easier than SUP, which involves standing on a board on the water, and anyone can experience it easily.

Sea kayak boats are much lighter than they appear, weighing only enough to be lifted by a person.
The paddles of the sea kayak are equipped with a paddle at each end, which is paddled from side to side to propel the kayak.
The two-person kayaks used on tours are less than 4 meters long and about 90 centimeters wide.
A single-person kayak is even smaller than this, but a two-person kayak is generally used.

All necessary equipment is rented on the sea kayak tour, and the rental fee is included in the tour fee.
Therefore, you can easily participate in a sea kayak tour without equipment.
Sea kayaking is an activity that can be done in any season.
It can be enjoyed even during the winter season.

Sea kayaking tours in Okinawa Main Island

Clear and transparent sea

The best part of sea kayaking is the proximity to the water’s surface. The transparency of the Okinawan Sea is outstanding, and visibility can reach 30 meters depending on the conditions.

Riding a sea kayak in such beautiful waters will give you the illusion of floating in midair.
If the weather is excellent and the waves are calm, you can enjoy watching tropical fish and beautiful corals in the sea from a sea kayak.

Coral reefs

Okinawa’s coral and tropical fish are so colorful that you can see their beauty from the top of your kayak.
Okinawa Prefecture is one of the world’s largest coral colonies, with dozens of different types of corals growing in colonies.

Some tours take you to uninhabited islands.

Sea kayaking is a very flexible activity.
In sea kayaking, all this ocean in front of you is the road.
Some sea kayaking professionals spend up to two weeks kayaking across the ocean.

Some plans allow you to visit small uninhabited islands that are not easily accessible by boat.
Depending on the tour, you can enjoy various marine activities such as SUP and snorkeling on the uninhabited island, and you will have a lovely day.

Sea kayak tours are fun for children and first-timers.

Kayaking is one of the easiest of the many marine activities.
Therefore, even children as young as 2 or 3 can enjoy it.
If you are a little afraid to let your child ride alone, we recommend using a two-person kayak.

At first glance, kayaks look unstable but can withstand considerable lean, so they rarely capsize.
If you do fall into the sea, you do not need to be able to swim because you are wearing a life jacket.

Kayaking is highly recommended if you want to enjoy marine activities with your family!
