The defining decision of this route is skipping the main island. The best of Okinawa lies an hour’s sailing away.
The skeleton
- Day 1 — Land in Naha, afternoon ferry to the first island, a small inn by the water
- Days 2–3 — Nothing scheduled. Snorkels, bicycles and books are in the room; using them is up to you
- Day 4 — A slow boat to a smaller island still; dolphins en route (not guaranteed — nothing at sea is)
- Days 5–6 — The village’s only diner, reserved for two evenings; the owner sings
- Day 7 — Back to Naha and straight to the airport
House rules of this journey
No checklist of water activities. Nothing planned within two hours of sunset.
This is the skeleton of a journey that happened exactly once. Yours will begin from a blank page.
