I couldn't find a cruise called "Miko Cruise" in my search. The closest match was a Miyako Island (Miyakojima, Okinawa) cruise guide, so I'm going on the assumption that you mean a Miyako-area cruise. If you meant a different line or port, tell me the name and I'll look again.
For a cruise like that, the answer depends on what the ship does:
- One day: Most cruise ships stay in port about 4 to 8 hours, according to the Miyako Island cruise guide. You get one beach, one lunch and maybe a short boat tour, but you don't get the whole island.
- Four days: A multi-day trip, or a land stay of four days like the one Tiny Tot In Tokyo describes, gives you time for snorkeling, the beaches and a slower pace. That writer still said she'd want at least five days to see everything.
If you have a day, pick one or two things you care about most and book them ahead. If you have four days, you can cover the main beaches and water activities without rushing. Which one are you planning?
