💡 Tips for Visitors

Ferry services to the main islands of Tokashiki and Zamami depart from Naha's Tomari Port, with advance booking recommended during peak summer months. Most dive shops and tour operators have English-speaking staff, but bringing cash is essential as many smaller establishments don't accept credit cards. The best visibility for diving and snorkeling is from April to October, though winter months offer unique whale-watching experiences.
