Ideal for nature enthusiasts and families, this tour takes you seamlessly between ecological attractions, all with commentary via a multilingual audio guide and an expert tour conductor.

Learn about the local flora and fauna and the delicate ecosystem that makes this forest exceptional for ecotourism.

Experience local flavours and spectacular vistas

Next, the journey continues to Kunigami Village where you’ll be welcomed for lunch at a traditional fisherman’s dining venue.

After your meal, the tour sets course for Cape Hedo, the northernmost tip of Okinawa. Marvel at sweeping ocean views and capture photos of the rugged coastline. On clear days, you might glimpse Yoron Island in the distance. The adventure then moves to Daisekirinzan, a scenic location in Yambaru National Park famous for its dramatic limestone cliffs and spiritual significance. Choose among four hiking trails suitable for all abilities, including a barrier-free option, and spot unusual subtropical plants and rock formations unique to this region.

The Okinawa Rail Ecology Center is your next destination. Here, you’ll have the rare chance to observe and learn about the Okinawa Rail, a captivating bird species only found in this region. The immersive visitor center provides insight into local efforts to conserve this endangered animal and its natural environment.

The final stop is the Yambaru Forest Visitor Center and its innovative dome theater in Ogimi Village.
