Kerama Islands Day Trips
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. Which islands can I visit from Naha on a day trip?
The three main islands of Tokashiki, Zamami, and Aka are within day-trip range. In particular, Tokashiki Island is the most popular among day-trippers because it is the closest island, only about 35 minutes away by high-speed boat, and allows visitors to spend more time there.
Q. What is the typical schedule for a day trip plan?
Departing from Tomari Port (Tomarin) in Naha around 9:00 a.m., the boat arrives at the island around 10:00 a.m. Visitors generally enjoy snorkeling and sightseeing in the morning, have lunch on the island, and return to Naha on the afternoon flight (16:00-17:00).
Q. When should I book a ship for a day trip?
In most cases, reservations can be made two months in advance of the embarkation date. High-speed boats, especially during summer vacation and consecutive holidays, fill up quickly, so we recommend that you make reservations as soon as you decide on your travel dates. It is very difficult to board the ship on the same day without a reservation.
Q. Is it possible to go to a deserted island for a day trip?
Yes, it is possible. You can take a ferryboat (boat) from the harbors of Zamami Island or Tokashiki Island to uninhabited islands such as Ankenashiki Island and Hanari Island in a few minutes. However, you will need to bring your own drinks and snacks, as there are no stores on the uninhabited islands.
Q. Is there anything I need to bring or be aware of on a day trip?
Swimsuits (wear them smoothly), a change of clothes, sunscreen, and sandals are essential. There are few ATMs on the island, so be sure to bring cash for lunch and activities. Also, check the weather forecast, as there is a non-zero risk that the return boat will be cancelled due to poor sea conditions.
