Limited Time: Stay active in the rainy season! Discover Yambaru Campaign restart
2024.05.22～2024.06.20
Our Discover Yambaru is a give-back program. With the announcement of the beginning of the rainy season in Okinawa, we are offering hotel in-house use coupons for up to 20% of the cost of experience programs recommended below. This campaign will be limited to until the end of the rainy season.
In Okinawa, it rarely rains all day long. There are periods of sunshine in between the weather clouds as they blow by. The water temperature is just right for marine sports like diving to be enjoyed. We also recommend guided nature tours where you can hear and feel the rain murmuring in a subtropical region. And the mud buggy experience will appeal to your sense of adventure.
