Enjoy Mizuna Island on a solo trip! Introducing travel attractions, recommended activities, and sightseeing spots!

What is Mizuna Island like?

Mizuna Island is surrounded by coral reefs and is close to the main island of Okinawa.

The island is popularly called "Croissant Island" because its shape looks like a croissant when viewed from above.

In this issue, we would like to introduce why we recommend Mizuna Island as a travel destination and about traveling alone on Mizuna Island.

 

Directions from Naha Airport and Watakuchi Port

The most common way to get to Watakuchi Port from Naha Airport is by bus or rental car.

It takes about 2 hours to get to Watakuchi Port by bus or 1.5 hours by car.

It takes about 15 minutes to get there from Watakuchi Port by high-speed boat, so it is a recommended day trip to this remote island!

Reasons to Travel Alone

Mizuna Island is a great place for solo travelers, and here are three reasons why.

If you are planning to travel alone, please refer to this page!

 

Take it easy at your own pace.

The best part of traveling alone is that you can move at your own pace without worrying about your surroundings.

You can decide where you want to go and what you want to eat, so you can enjoy your trip freely and stress-free!

One of the pleasures is to have the spectacular view of Mizuna Island all to yourself.

Because many people are captivated by the natural beauty of Mizuna Island, it is a popular tourist destination with many repeat visitors!

 

Why choose Mizuna Island?

Mizuna Island is not only attractive for its beautiful ocean, but also for the fact that it is only about 15 minutes from the main island.

Even if you want to visit a remote island, it is often difficult to schedule it because of its remoteness.

Even though it is close, it has a different atmosphere from the main island, so why not experience the difference?

 

Attractions of Mizuna Island

Here we would like to introduce three attractions of Mizuna Island.

Please check them out, as they are all attractions that cannot be experienced on the mainland!

 

Beaches with blue sea and white sand

Mizuna Island has many attractions, but the first thing I would like to introduce is its beautiful beaches with blue sea and white sand.

We recommend that you dive into the sea, as the island is surrounded by colorful coral reefs and colorful fish swim around it.

 

Enjoy marine activities!

By experiencing marine activities, you can fully enjoy the crystal clear waters!

For example, Mizuna Island is a famous diving spot.

If you are new to diving and feel uneasy, it is a good idea to participate in a trial course.

Diving is a great marine activity that allows you to enjoy the ocean not only alone, but also with your family and friends!

All of the residential ground on Mizuna Island is cobblestone paved, creating a picture-postcard landscape.

The quaint atmosphere will surely enhance your travel mood!

It is the main beach of Mizuna Island, visited by many tourists.

It is a sightseeing spot that should not be missed when visiting Mizuna Island.

Recommended activities for solo travelers

Let us introduce you to some activities that will allow you to fully enjoy Mizuna Island even if you are traveling alone.

A solo trip to Mizuna Island is sure to be one of the most memorable experiences you will ever have!

 

snorkeling

Snorkeling is an activity to enjoy the underwater world by swimming in shallow water wearing a pipe-shaped breathing apparatus called a snorkel.

Unlike diving, it is easy to experience because it requires only three pieces of equipment: a mask (underwater glasses), snorkel, and fins!

 

Recommendations

The ability to easily observe the ocean is a key recommendation.

No qualifications or skills are required, so children and seniors can experience it if they are interested!

Also, if the ocean is snorkeling-friendly, equipment rentals are often available!

 

diving

Diving is an activity in which you dive into the ocean with a tank full of air on your back.

Because you dive while breathing underwater, you can enjoy the underwater world longer than snorkeling!

 

Recommendations

The best part of diving is that you can experience an extraordinary feeling that you would not normally experience!

When you dive into the ocean, the entire area is a blue world, a fantastic place to be.

Feel the extraordinary sensation of swimming with fish in a carefree environment and seeing coral reefs up close!

 

Canoe/Kayak

Canoeing/kayaking is an easy activity for beginners.

Although canoes and kayaks sound the same at first glance, there are differences in the way they are paddled and the hull of the boat.

The canoes are made with a wide deck area so that there is plenty of space to lie down and relax!

Kayaking, on the other hand, is a recommended activity when propulsion and rotation are required, as in ocean or river rafting.

 

Recommendations

Canoeing and kayaking are recommended to be enjoyed year-round.

Beginners can also easily enjoy it, so please try it out if you are interested!

Canoeing in the great outdoors will surely give you a feeling of excitement that you cannot experience on the mainland.

 

SUP

SUP is an activity in which you stand on a special board and use a paddle to paddle forward.

Boards used for SUP are thicker and have a longer vertical shape, making them more stable than surfboards.

The sport has already been around for more than 10 years in Hawaii and Australia, the holy land of surfing, and is gradually gaining popularity in Japan these days.

 

Recommendations

SUP is a popular form of training among women with a strong sense of beauty.

Simply standing on a board in the water can be effective for developing balance and muscle strength, as well as for strengthening the inner muscles!

Training while looking out at the ocean soothes the mind, and you will definitely feel refreshed both physically and mentally after the experience.

 

parasailing

Parasailing is an activity in which a parachute is pulled by a motorboat for an exhilarating flight over the ocean.

This activity is a combination of paragliding and sailing, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.

There is no need to operate the parachute, so you can enjoy the exhilaration of the wind!

 

Recommendations

The fact that you can enjoy the scenic beauty of the sea and sky at the same time is highly recommended.

Looking down from the sky, you will feel as if you are flying in the sky and can see the beautiful ocean all around you!
