Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

Reviewed By Gracie_Chen - Singapore, Singapore

Impressive aquarium and glad we put that in our itinerary . We went early to avoid the crowd , tourist buses started to come by around 10 am We also encountered a group of students on excursion so the place got crowded quickly . If you are not in a hurry (we are not) , just slowly stroll through the crowd and appreciate the different species of sea life on display. Fav window is of course the Whale Sharks & Giant Mantra Rays .. mesmerizing to see the giants swimming around We greatly enjoyed the place , time well spent P/S : If you intend to visit the Tropical Dream Center , keep the aquarium ticket . You get half price for the Tropical Dream Center entrance ticket

Okuma Beach

Reviewed By g0_f0r_it - Singapore, Singapore

We managed to locate the public area of the beach quite easily on our drive north towards Cape Hedo from Cape Manzamo. We simply parked at some parking lots along the road, walked up a few steps and there was the beautiful beach, free for all to enjoy but with few people in sight. There was no public toilet though. There were plenty of dead corals washed up on the sand. It is such a lovely beach that we ended up spending too much time there and missed going to Dai Sekirinzan Park which closes at 4pm.

Daisekirinzan

Reviewed By JulianaChuasl - Singapore, Singapore

Daisenkirinzan - a forested nature park with fantastic geological formations is a great place for children and adults to be free-spirited; allowing creativity to see what you want to see in the amazing rock formations. There are natural formations that look like a cat, a T-Rex, a gorilla, a crocodile; a place where you see what your eyes want you to see. The trails are clearly marked and easy to walk. There are thoughtful gestures like walking sticks/wooden staff and umbrellas provided by the park. The stone museum at the end of the walk is well curated and informative. The best part of this museum is that you can touch the exhibits.

Tropical Dream Center

Reviewed By BYamamoto - Kapaa, United States

Many many people trek to Motobu to visit Churaumi aquarium. I would like to invite them and stress the importance for them to spend a few hours in the Tropical Dream center. The facility changes throughout the year in the flowering exhibits specializing in Orchids and different exhibitions from Native species to many different tropical plants. Great exhibits of topiary that represent the zodiac symbols . You can have a light lunch in the facility and walk up the tower to reach a overview of the garden and park. The facility also host educational workshops for children and adults. Lots of photo spots.

Sun Marina Beach

Reviewed By nomis0813 - Hong Kong, China

You would experience a warm welcome from the hotel staff since you stepped into the Hotel. The great location of the hotel (5 mins walk from BTS station), the great buffet breakfast (with lots of choices from eastern to western to local), and the great sunshine at the hotel's swimming pool would all make your stay a memorable one.

Okichan Theater

Reviewed By soyamericanoenhk - Hong Kong, China

The Okichan Theater timetable is well documented on the Aquarium pamphlet and website. There are different time tables for different seasons during the course of the year. From the parking lots of the Park / Aquarium, it's downhill and accessible by a series of escalators or elevators and you can go directly down towards the beach to the Theater. No aquarium ticket required. If you like dolphins, you can easily hang out in this theater area for a few hours and not get bored. There was a food / dessert truck to the left of the stage and vending machines and restrooms to the right of the stage. This aquatic theater has 3 attractions with multiple performances scheduled throughout various times of the day. 1) You can get in line to buy buckets of fish heads to feed the dolphins. 2) There's a performance show like you would find at Sea World. 3) There is a glass wall / underwater area to learn more about dolphins One of the highlights of a 6 day trip
