Most Okinawa boat trips are really a ride to somewhere better to swim, whether that’s the Kerama Islands west of Naha or the Phantom Island sandbar off Ishigaki. If you’d rather stay dry, a glass-bottom boat shows you the coral from a bench.
See Okinawa’s reefs and fish from the ORCA glass-bottom boat in Naha, with a one-hour ride, open-deck views, and no need to get wet.
