we had a marvelous time! Nik is an excellent guide who knows a lot about nature and the sourroundings! first we went kayaking in the river. it was so peaceful and quiet, perfect to admire birds, fishes and trees. then we kayaked to sea to observe the coral reef, it was beautiful. if you have never been on a kayak, don’t worry, it was a first for us too! Nik provids all the equipement required, shoes, hat, life jacket, etc. also, Nik recommended us a very nice place to dine before the second part of the day, the river trek. we hiked in the river until a waterfall. and it was perfection. the temperature was very high and walking in the fresh water of the river was divine. and we were able to take a swim under the waterfall, how amazing?! again, Nik provided the magic spiderman boots to walk in the river without sliping. if you like nature and are visiting Okinawa, you have to book this experiance! Nik is very accomodating, it is most likely he will make this experience unique for you. oh and also, he will take photos just for you!14ullaf

This jungle trek/ river walk / swimming in the wild under a waterfall was the absolute favourite activity of my teenaged son. He loved it and would highly recommend it to all of his friends. I enjoyed it. The swimming by the waterfall was my highlight. I would have to say that you have to be agile for this and not to skirmish when it comes to the creepy crawlies of the jungle, like spiders (completely harmless, I just might add). A really good activity for family with kids and teenagers. A real nature experience.
