What are the differences between private and small group tours?Private Tours: You have more flexibility and freedom with private tours. We can arrange a pick up anywhere on island and you can control every aspect of your tour, from where we go and how long we spend there to where we eat lunch. We will provide personalized assistance to design a tour that fits your needs. Additionally, private tours consist of you and your party alone. There will be no strangers joining you on the tour. Small Group Tours: Small group tours visit some of the highlights of Okinawa's history with a more planned structure. While there is less flexibility about where we visit, these tours have been designed to ensure that you will experience the rich history of Okinawa. Pick up spots have been designated near public transportation hubs so we can easily meet and explore together. Small group tours are available for up to 6 people, so depending on the day and tour you may have other people joining you while you travel through Okinawa's past.
