We visited a couple of months ago this stunning island, Hate no Hama! ???????? is an uninhabited island located approximately 5 km away from Kumejima, Okinawa ???? Hate no Hama Is made up of 3 Islands: ????“Menuhama” ????”Nakanuhama” ????”Hatinuhama” Is so beautiful that has appeared several times in commercials and even in Google! It’s a place that I consider you should put on your bucket list ☺️❤️???????? Access: You can visit Hate no Hama by taking a tour from Kumejima, it will take you about 30 mins by boat ❤️ (the hotel will help you arrange the tour so no worries ????) You’ll LOVE it! ????❤️ We will do a review of different hotels in Kumejima soon so don’t miss it! Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you don’t miss any of our adventures! ❤️

The beautiful Tokashiki island (as part of of the Keramashoto national park) is just 35min (by speed boat) or 70min (by ferry) from Naha, but it's not heavily visited at all. Based on other's suggestion, we chose to visit the Aharen beach and it was indeed excellent ! From the beach, one may take a boat (1000 Yen/person, round trip) to the Hanari island, which is just several hundred meters outside the beach. There are two small peaks to climb on the Hanari island, and the views from top are just fabulous! There are coral reefs around, great for snorkeling. Recommend 1.5 -2 hours if care to snorkeling. After returning to the Aharen beach, from the "Youth center" one may get to a pavilion (vista point) to the north of the beach. It offers some awesome panoramic views as well ! From the vista point, note that there are 2-3 smaller beaches further to the north -- they are worth visiting too ! There were no other tourists on the day of our visit -- so we had the place all by ourselves for a few hours! The water is clear, sand clean, views beautiful, and lots of sea shells ! We spent a couple of very relaxing and memorable hours there... (took the 4pm bus for the 5pm speed boat back to Naha.) It's definitely the best day-tour for our 5-day vacation to Okinawa! Will visit it again next time ...

Fab sea kayaking with Zamami's Kerama Kayaking. Great boats, equipment, and excellent service from Miami, who prepared the boats, supervised, taught, helped, cooked Okinawan lunch on remote beaches, and helped us to snorkel the corals. Her English helped a lot, with my limited Japanese.. Did 3 day tours, each stunning and great kayaking. Zamami is tiny, 600 people, village atmosphere, buzzing in summer I heard, but beautifully peaceful in January. Enough nice restaurants, bars, izakayas. Good e-bike rental to tour the very hilly landscape.

Really liked this beach. No waves, great for snorkeling to see some coral reef and fish, and there's 2 food shops with lots of lunch options, drinks, and ice cream bars. Good beach to lounge around, leisurely swim, and do tours/activities. Not crowded, fun for families, with friends, or solo. You can get a blue sheet for free to sit on the beach, and there's rentable parasols, chairs, life jackets, snorkeling goggles, flippers and floats. There are activities you can sign up for right there, which are kinda short but they're fun. One is a photo shoot with mermaid tails to wear on the beach if that's ur thing. ????♀️????♂️ They also have SUP, fly boards, tubing, a tour to see sea turtles, and more. We chose an "uninhabited island tour" which was ride to a huge, beautiful coral reef off an uninhabited island (the ride there, free swim, and ride back was 40 min. for 3,000 yen/person). Make sure not to step on or touch the coral reef!

Made up of the 3 uninhabited islands of Kuefujima, Nagannujima, and Kamiyamajima, this area consists of striking white sand, an abundance of corals, tunnels, arches, drop-off dive sites, etc. and is home to a variety of diving environments. You are sure to meet several macro-organisms as well as large sea creatures.
