Home / Naha / Guided days
A seven-hour private day in a Toyota Alphard with a licensed guide, covering Naha's markets and pottery street, Shuri, Shikinaen, Ojima Island and the Peace Memorial Park.
1 / 4Photo: tour operator, via Viator
Families or groups on a 9-hour call who want the island's history and scenery with little walking.
Lunch is extra, the operator asks for moderate fitness, and the pickup list shows hotels, so confirm terminal pickup. The Peace Memorial Park gets 50 minutes here, where the site suggests about three hours if that history matters to you, and 8 reviews is a thin record.
Guide languages: English. Cancellation: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Run by 一日プライベートツアー.

~1.5hThe 1.6 km main street is the souvenir strip, and it is fine.
Our guide to it →Booked through Viator (a Tripadvisor company). There is rarely a tour desk at the pier, so book before you sail.
