Why Visit?

Zamami Island Adventure Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival & Kayak Expedition

Begin your adventure on Zamami Island by catching a high-speed ferry from Naha, Okinawa, which takes about 50 minutes. Settle into your accommodation, then embark on a sea-kayak expedition along the island’s crystal-clear waters. Launch from Zamami Port – easily accessible on foot from most lodgings. Paddle towards uninhabited islands like Gahi Island, renowned for its coral gardens and vibrant marine life. Spot sea turtles and tropical fish as you glide over the tranquil blue.

Day 2: Snorkeling and Hiking

Morning calls for a snorkeling adventure at Furuzamami Beach, a 15-minute bus ride from the village. Voted one of Japan’s best beaches, its shallow coral reefs make it an underwater paradise. Post-snorkeling, take a leisurely lunch at one of the beachside eateries, sampling the local taco rice or fresh sashimi.

In the afternoon, hike to Takatsuki-yama Observatory. The trail starts from Zamami village; a moderate 30-minute hike rewards you with panoramic views of the Kerama blue sea and neighboring islands. The sunset from here is not to be missed.

Day 3: Scuba Diving & Village Exploration

Dive deeper into the underwater world with a scuba diving trip arranged by local dive shops. Beginners and experienced divers can explore sites featuring dramatic coral walls and sea turtle colonies. After diving, spend your evening exploring the quaint streets of Zamami Village. Discover small, local-run galleries, and shops that offer unique Okinawan crafts and pearls.

Departure

Bid farewell to Zamami on your fourth day, taking the ferry back to Naha with unforgettable memories of an island that blends adventure with serene beauty, a true hidden gem of the Pacific.
