How we travel.

  • 01

    The islands earn from this

    Around a hundred local boat crews, innkeepers, cooks and drivers make our trips run. Your money stays here rather than with a booking platform.

  • 02

    Expert local guides

    All our guides actually live on the islands they lead. Years of on-the-ground knowledge, not a script.

  • 03

    The hidden Okinawa

    Beaches without parking lots. Awamori bars without signs. Trails that don't show up in guidebooks.

  • 04

    Personalised care

    Every itinerary is hand-built around the people travelling it — pace, interests, dietary, mobility, all of it.

Naha to Iheya, the long way north.

Roughly 150 km from Naha's southern markets up through the Yanbaru forest and out to the small islands of Izena and Iheya. Pulses mark where the Main-Island journey lands.

One of the best days of my trip. Well organized, great pacing, and the guide made everything feel effortless. Saw amazing spots, learned a lot, and never felt rushed. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Really solid tour from start to finish. We went with the island hopping 3 day 2 night tour and joined another group of 3 which was super fun. Would definitely recommend!

We did the 3 day 2 night tour and it was outstanding. The itinerary was so well thought out and we were well prepared for our trip. David was ready to answer any questions we had which we really appreciated. The activities were well planned but also we felt we had plenty time to relax and take in the surroundings. This is a trip that you absolutely need to add to your bucket list. We will be back hopefully!!

I travelled with my fiancé to Okinawa in summer this year and booked through Things To Do – and I’m so glad we did. As a vegetarian, I thought meals in Japan would be difficult, but David and Aya made it so easy and every dish was delicious. If we hadn’t booked through them, we wouldn’t have had the same authentic and stress-free experience. Truly five stars! We will be back :)

Aya was so sweet and informative during our Izakaya hopping tour. She made sure everyone felt comfortable with the dishes that were curated and was sure to dive deep into the culture, history, and background of Okinawa. We hope to come back again. Would definitely recommend!
