    Expert local guides

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

    The hidden Okinawa

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

    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!

Super visite d’Okinawa avec une guide enthousiaste et passionnée. Tout était très bien organisé et les explications étaient très intéressantes. J’ai particulièrement aimé la baignade à la cascade. Une très belle expérience que je recommande vivement !

A few weeks ago I did the 3 day Northern Okinawa tour and it was incredible. The Nago forests are spectacular it felt as if we had been transported into a different ancient time. Century old trees teaming with life and cascading waterfalls this place was really special. The trekking wasn’t too difficult and we were given enough rest stops to sit and take in the beauty. The dinner with Shimura san was well deserved after a long day. Quite the spread of local authentic food all freshly prepared. Zip lining, kayaking through the mangroves, the cliffs at Cape Hedo, an incredible 3 days definitely the highlight to our Japan Trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
