The hiking trails we use are through the verdant Yanbaru National Park Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its beautiful and diverse flora and fauna. As you traverse the park’s scenic trails, keep an eye out for the Okinawan Rail and other endemic wildlife that inhabit this subtropical rainforest. Our knowledgeable guides will ensure your safety while providing insights into the park’s unique ecosystem. Whether it’s sunny or rainy, be prepared to get wet, sweaty, and possibly a bit muddy – it’s all part of the immersive, tropical, nature experience!

We use a wide range of hiking trails on our Active Okinawa Hiking Tour that can cater to all abilities. One such trail is a route to the spectacular Hiji Waterfall, located within the dense forests of the Kunigami area. The trail to the waterfall is a mix of natural paths and steep stairs, making it a fun challenge for any hiker. Once there, you can admire the pristine waters cascading down the rocky cliffs.

Another highlight of one of our trails is exploring the island’s limestone rock formations in the Ogimi village area around Mount Kugani and the gorgeous Mount Nekumachiji. These stunning geological features add a unique element to Okinawa’s landscape. As you climb through these rocky jungle terrains, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the unspoiled coastal scenery that makes Okinawa a superb destination for nature lovers.

Whether looking for a half-day tour or a full one-day excursion, we can choose the right hike for you. If you choose a full one-day tour, we provide locally made lunch boxes, snacks, and drinks to keep your energy levels high. And don’t forget to bring your swimwear on that one-day tour, there’s always a chance for a refreshing dive into the clear waters of an Okinawa river or beach. At the end of the day, our guide, who doubles as your personal photographer, will provide you with all the photos and videos capturing your memorable adventure.
