The good day trips in Okinawa fill weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes, and where they genuinely differ.
Snorkel the Kerama Islands from Naha with an instructor at 2-3 sites, see turtles and coral, and stay warm with tea and gear included. From $81.
“Great trip. We saw and swim with turtles, black squids and puf fishes. Great visibility. Definitely wear swimsuit they give you to avoid harm from small jellyfish as they are there in some places. Fantastic trip. Highly recommended.”
Tokashiki Island day trip from Naha with ferry, shuttles, lunch, and optional sea-turtle snorkeling in Kerama Islands National Park.
“We went on the island snorkeling trip and were pleasantly surprised at how safe we both felt throughout. Although we’ve snorkeled before, neither of us are very confident in the sea, but our guide was fantastic—guiding us step by step and making sure we felt completely secure. It quickly became a real highlight of our trip. On top of that, we were lucky enough to see incredible sea life, including some turtles, which made the experience truly unforgettable.”
9-hour Kerama Islands snorkeling day trip from Naha with guided gear fitting, bento lunch, hot showers, and photo copies.
“Outstanding quality of the guides and the tour. Everything went smoothly, from pickup over equipment to the tour itself. The crew took our group to three beautiful locations around the islands where we (mostly) were the only group at that time and had 45 minutes of snorkeling at each spot. We can fully recommend this trip!”
Iriomote mangrove SUP or canoe plus snorkeling, a 6-hour day trip with pickup, safety gear, and free waterproof photo data.

Miyakojima sea turtle snorkeling, Pumpkin Limestone Cave (Ryugu-jo), and canoeing in one 6-hour combo, with guide photos included.
“Absolutely amazing experience. Very kind and informative tour guide. It was a great time and I strongly recommend”

“Our guide, Chill, was so informative and friendly. He spoke English so well, and provided us with a good insight into the features of the area. He was very efficient and we really enjoyed out time in the cave and in the mangroves. He also took Read more”
Tokashiki Island day trip from Naha with ferry, island shuttles, lunch, and optional sea turtle snorkeling at Tokashiku Beach.
“Super great trip, only thing out of the control of all is the rough Pacific, everyone was throwing up on the ferry across. Hot tip, take a motion sickness tablet and stay on the lowest point of the ferry to avoid this as much as possible.”
