How we travel.

  • 01

    The islands earn from this

    Around a hundred local boat crews, innkeepers, cooks and drivers make our trips run. Your money stays here rather than with a booking platform.

  • 02

    Expert local guides

    All our guides actually live on the islands they lead. Years of on-the-ground knowledge, not a script.

  • 03

    The hidden Okinawa

    Beaches without parking lots. Awamori bars without signs. Trails that don't show up in guidebooks.

  • 04

    Personalised care

    Every itinerary is hand-built around the people travelling it — pace, interests, dietary, mobility, all of it.

Naha to Iheya, the long way north.

Roughly 150 km from Naha's southern markets up through the Yanbaru forest and out to the small islands of Izena and Iheya. Pulses mark where the Main-Island journey lands.

Thank you for a great time! I did the 2 day tour with day one being the Culture & Coast Half-Day (City Center → South Coast) and day two being the Half-Day Ocean Cave Exploration. It was very flexible and accomodating around my schedule. I really enjoyed the in depth explanations and experiencing all the spots we visited as well as the tours being filled with fun and laughter. I learned a lot about Okinawa, the culture, stories about the past and people of Okinawa, and was also able about to try a bunch of different food as well as visit local spots. It felt like a true local experience with hidden gems provided by friends. Recommendations for other things to do or places to visit were provided too. There was also some sick film photos taken during the tours. I recommend anyone seeing this to visit Okinawa and especially to book with @thingstodoin.jp to enhance their experience in Okinawa! I’m excited for the next time I visit Okinawa! Would book a different tour in the future!

We had an absolutely amazing day with Evertrail Tours! Our guide, Aya, was super friendly, moderated the whole day, and told us so many interesting things about the island. What made it even better: she even took photos and videos of us, so we have wonderful memories to take home. In the morning, we did a beautiful hike to the waterfall, and in the afternoon we went canoeing – and Aya was with us the entire time, guiding us safely and in great spirits throughout the day. Everything was perfectly organized, the atmosphere was fantastic, and we felt completely comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much for this unforgettable excursion! We can recommend Evertrail Tours 100% and would book again anytime

We had the most incredible experience on our trip to Okinawa from 14th May to 4th June this year, and it truly deserves every one of its 5 stars. I travelled with my dad and my partner, and from the very beginning the whole experience was seamless, professional, and beyond anything we expected. We booked through Things To Do, and I can honestly say they made this trip unforgettable. Our tour guides, David and Aya, were absolutely fantastic – knowledgeable, warm, and always went above and beyond to make sure the three of us had the best possible time. Their passion and insights into Okinawa’s history, culture, and hidden gems gave us a much deeper appreciation of this beautiful region! ❤ The driver was consistently punctual, which meant our days ran smoothly and we got the most out of our day. Every transfer felt effortless, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the stunning scenery together. Highlights of the trip are too many to count, but a few really stood out. Visiting the secret waterfalls in Nago felt like discovering a hidden world – peaceful, breathtaking, and far from the usual tourist trails. The beautiful beaches in Ogimi were another highlight, we went at a time when it was and quiet without the crowds. Our time in Kunigami was equally unforgettable: after a day of exploring, we enjoyed a wonderful Japanese BBQ dinner, followed by one of the most magical evenings imaginable – lying under the stars with no light pollution, watching shooting stars. Meals throughout the trip were another highlight – both lunches and dinners were consistently delicious, offering a variety of authentic Okinawan food. I love Japanese food anyway so I was easily pleased and always keen to try different foods😆 One of the things we appreciated most was that by booking through Things To Do, we really did get to live like locals rather than fall into the usual tourist traps like some other places we have been on mainland Japan. The experiences, restaurants, and destinations we were introduced to felt authentic, meaningful, and unique - not something we would have found on our own. Overall, this trip was everything we hoped for and more. From the organisation to the unique experiences and personal touches, it was a truly first-class trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better company than Things To Do, or better guides than David and Aya. If you’re looking for a holiday that is stress-free, immersive, and unforgettable, this is it.

My partner and I toured with Aya today. She was really nice, knowledgeable and pretty chill which is the perfect vibe for a day exploring Okinawa. She knew the area well and told us some more spots we could check out. Would love to come back for more tours!
