Online Scams in Okinawa

Fake Outer Island Tour Booking Websites

With demand high for trips to Kerama Islands, Miyako-jima, and Ishigaki from Naha, fraudulent or unreliable websites and social media accounts advertise day trips and snorkeling packages at below-market rates. Payment is collected upfront via bank transfer or international card, but the operator either does not exist, fails to provide the service, or provides a substantially inferior experience. Reports note that some sites clone legitimate operator branding with slightly different URLs.
