All Reviews for Snorkeling

The instructor was a kind young man, and even though we were clumsy, we were able to experience it without any anxiety! I was surprised that he took dozens of photos for us. I was also happy that he shared some interesting trivia! I was very satisfied. If there’s another opportunity, I would love to ask for his help again!

優しいインストラクターのお兄さんで、要領が悪い私たちでも不安なく体験できました！
写真も数十枚撮ってくださっていて、びっくりしました。
豆知識とかも教えてくださり嬉しかったです！
大満足でした。
次機会があれば、またお願いしたいです！

We participated as a family of four, including a fifth-grade boy and a third-grade girl.
We saw turtles! They were munching on seaweed up close and coming up to the surface for air!
We also got to see many beautiful fish! There were clownfish, and they were so cute!
The guide was a kind young man who explained everything clearly and thoroughly about the sea turtles, corals, and Miyako Island, and he was very considerate towards the children, making the time spent outside of snorkeling very enjoyable as well.
I think even those who aren't used to swimming will be fine in the shallow waters. For those who still feel unsure, the guide reassured us by saying, "I'll pull you with a float!"
Also, during snorkeling, my daughter complained about her head and eyes hurting from the unfamiliar goggles, but the guide kindly adjusted them and gently encouraged her to take it easy, which helped her persevere until the end.

We were honestly surprised by how many photos of the turtles, corals, and fish we received. They were all beautifully taken!
I usually don't write reviews, but I hope this can serve as a reference for others considering snorkeling.
The guides were so great that I felt comfortable leaving everything in their hands!
Our whole family was very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory!
If we go to Miyako Island again, we would definitely like to request this again. Thank you so much!

小5年男子、小3女子含む4人家族で参加させて頂きました。
カメさんいました！間近で海藻バクバク食べてたし、息するのに海面から顔出して息継ぎするし！！
たくさんのキレイな魚も見れました！クマノミもいてかわいかったです！
ガイドの方は優しいお兄さんで、ウミガメのことはもちろん珊瑚のこと、宮古島のことなど終始わかりやすく丁寧に説明してくださり、子供達にも優しく気遣ってくれてシュノーケル以外の時間もとても楽しく過ごすことができました。
思ってたより浅瀬で泳ぎになれない方でも大丈夫かと思います。それでも自信ない方はガイドの方が「浮き輪で引っ張りますよー」って声かけてくださるので安心ですよ！
また、シュノーケル途中でうちの娘が慣れないゴーグルで頭が痛い、目が痛いなど訴えてしまいましたが、ガイドの方が丁寧に調整してくれたり「無理しないで」と優しく声掛け接してくれたおかげで娘も最後までがんばれました。

写真もウミガメとの写真、珊瑚や魚たちの写真をすごくたくさん送っていただき正直驚きました。もちろんキレイに写ってます！
普段は体験談など書かないのですが、、シュノーケル考えている他の方への参考になればと思います。
それに書きたくなるぐらいとても良い感じの兄さん達なので安心して任せられます！
家族全員とても満足で、とてもいい思い出となりました！！
また宮古島へ行った際は、ぜひお願いしたいです。本当にありがとうございました！！

I met up at the location, but I quickly got the place wrong...

When I parked in the hotel parking lot as instructed, the taxi driver told me it was the wrong place, but I eventually made it there safely.

I still find meeting up at the location quite confusing...

The snorkeling was a sea turtle exploration tour, but I didn't get to see any sea turtles. However, the snorkeling itself was beautiful and enjoyable. There was plenty of time as well.

The instructor was kind and attentive, thank you very much.

It was great that there were showers and changing areas on the boat.

現地集合で、早速場所を間違えました。。

説明もらったホテルの駐車場にとめたらタクシー運転手さんに違うよとおしえてもらい無事にたどり着きました。

やっぱり現地集合はよくわからないですね、、、


シュノーケリングは海亀探索ツアーでしたが海亀には会えませんでした。でもシュノーケリングは綺麗で楽しかったです。時間も十分でした。

インストラクターのお兄さんも優しく丁寧でした、ありがとうございました。

船内シャワーや着替えられる場所もありよかったです

I was taken care of with stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. The person in charge and the staff at the shop were very kind and attentive, and my elementary school son was very happy. He talked about how much he enjoyed feeding the fish and observing the hermit crabs, saying it was the most fun part of our trip. I thought stand-up paddleboarding would be difficult, but I was able to enjoy it even as a beginner. I want to challenge myself with stand-up paddleboarding again next year. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Snorkeling on the north side of Nugan Island. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for. A downside is that since we didn't go ashore, we couldn't relax fully.

ヌガンヌ島の北側に停泊してのシュノーケリング。お目当てのウミガメには会えませんでした。残念。
上陸はしないので、ゆっくりくつろげない点はデメリット。

I thought there would be 2 to 3 photos, but they took a lot.
It said that I could use the shower, but only cold water came out.
I heard there were places where hot water was available.
The staff, especially the boys, were all kind and easy to understand.
I was able to go snorkeling without any worries.
It was fun and went by in a flash.

写真付きは2~3枚かと思ったら
すごい沢山撮ってくれた
シャワー使用できるとあったが
水しかでなかった
お湯が出るところもあったらしいが
スタッフの男の子たちは
みなさん親切わかりやすい
何の心配もなくシュノーケリングできました
楽しかった
あっという間だった

I was able to see four sea turtles, took a lot of photos, and the guide's stories were interesting! They also made sure to give us enough time to practice, so everything went smoothly!

ウミガメ4匹も見れたし、写真も沢山取れたし、ガイドさんのお話も面白かった！しっかり練習する時間とかも取ってくれたので特に問題なく行けました！

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Kerama Islands and ended up snorkeling along the main island. While we were snorkeling, it didn't rain, and I had a wonderful experience seeing small fish swimming in the beautiful sea! The full-face mask was easy to breathe in and very user-friendly. The banana boat allowed us to choose our speed, which made it a lot of fun! I hope to be able to go to the Kerama Islands next time!

あいにくのお天気で、慶良間諸島には行けず本島沿いでのシュノーケリングでした。
シュノーケルをしている間は雨も降らず、小さなお魚が泳いでいるのを綺麗な海で見ることができてすてきな経験をできました！
フルフェイスマスクは息がしやすく、使いやすかったです。
バナナボートはスピードを選ばせてくれ、楽しくできました◎
また次は慶良間諸島でできたらいいなと思います！

This was my first time in Okinawa, and I was looking forward to the Kerama Blue. It was a charter flight, but there was no air conditioning, it was bumpy, and there were children who got sick. I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit nauseous.

After arriving on the island, the transportation also had no air conditioning. We went straight to snorkeling, and everywhere we went had no air conditioning. I started to get a headache, and even after taking headache medicine, it didn't stop. I realized I was suffering from heatstroke. At the very least, I need somewhere with air conditioning; otherwise, it feels unbearable. I hope for improvements.

今回初めての沖縄で慶良間ブルーに期待して参加しました。チャーター便でしたが、クーラーなし、揺れる、吐く子供がいたり、自分も酔い止め飲んでましたが、ちょっと酔いました。
そして、島についてからの移動車もクーラーなし。そのままシュノーケル、着いてからもどこもクーラーなし、頭痛してきて頭痛薬飲んでも止まらず、熱中症ということに気付きました。。せめてどこかクーラー効いてないと死にます。改善を願います。

I participated in a tour on the afternoon of my arrival in Ishigaki Island. It was my first snorkeling experience of the year, and thanks to the staff's attentiveness and kindness, I was able to enjoy snorkeling in the long-awaited Sekisei Lagoon! Since I brought my GoPro, I was able to capture a lot of videos!

Maboroshi Island is surrounded by emerald green waters, and it was incredibly beautiful and moving. The sight of waves repeatedly flowing through parts of the island that gradually submerged beneath the surface was so pleasant that I could have watched it forever.

Although it was just a half-day tour, it was so satisfying that I lost track of time!

石垣島到着日の午後からのツアーに参加させていただきました。
今年初めてのシュノーケリングだったのですが、スタッフの方々の気配りや思いやりに助けられ、念願の石西礁湖でのシュノーケリングを楽しめました！
ゴープロ持参だったので、動画もいっぱい撮れました！
幻の島は周囲をエメラルドグリーンの海に囲まれ、とても綺麗で感動。徐々に水面下になる島の一部を繰り返し波が通り抜けてゆく様子が気持ち良くずっと見ていたい感じでした。
半日ですが、時を忘れるぐらい大満足なツアーでした！

I participated with my 7-year-old son!

During our snorkeling experience from the beach, he was a bit scared and wanted to return to the shore when he couldn't touch the bottom, so I thought it might be a bit much for him from the boat. I was prepared to wait on the boat.

Just as I told him, "You don't have to push yourself," he decided to give it a try and willingly followed the instructor's instructions to enter the water! He then enjoyed snorkeling with the instructor! He was fascinated by all the different fish and beautiful corals!

Even during free time, he continued to swim with the kind instructor, sticking close to him!

My son, who was initially a bit nervous about snorkeling, got really excited and had a great time collecting corals and shells on the subsequent "phantom island" visit. Throughout, the instructors were very encouraging and engaged with him, making it a truly satisfying experience.

Thank you very much! ♪

7歳の息子と参加しました！

同じ旅の期間中に行った砂浜からのシュノーケル体験でも、足がつかなくなるとビビって浜に戻りたがっていたので、船からはちょっと無理かなぁと、船の上で待つことも覚悟して参加しました。

「無理しなくていいよ」と伝えた矢先、自分からやってみる！と進んでインストラクターさんの指示に従って海に入って行きました！
そしてそのままインストラクターさんに連れられてシュノーケルを楽しむ息子！！
色々なお魚や綺麗な珊瑚に夢中になっていました！

自由時間になってもインストラクターさんと一緒に泳ぐ、と、優しいインストラクターさんに着いて泳ぎ続けていました！

シュノーケルにビビり気味だった息子もテンションが上がり、その後の幻の島でも珊瑚や貝殻を拾いまくって楽しんでいました。
その間もインストラクターさんたちが息子に色々と声をかけてくださり、大満足の体験となりました。

ありがとうございました♪

感想：雨でウミガメいるか心配でしたが、無事一緒に写真を撮ることができて良かったです。

The sea water was really clear, and we could see a lot of fish. The Blue Cave is not very far from the starting point, so I think even those who aren't very confident in swimming will be fine. The light blue color of the water inside the cave is also very, very beautiful. Our guide was always attentive to the participants' conditions and took many photos for us.

海の水が本当に澄んでいて、魚もたくさん見られました。青の洞窟が出発地からそんなに遠くないので、泳ぎにそんなに自信ない人も大丈夫だと思います。洞窟の中の水色はまたとてもとても綺麗です。そしてガイドさんが私たち参加者の状態を常に気を遣い、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

At Tokashiki Beach, I was able to see sea turtles and also spotted cute fish swarming around the coral, so I’m glad I joined a guided tour that knew the best spots! During my free time at Awa Island Beach, the views from the Kubandaki Observatory and Tunnel Rock were also fantastic. The ferry ride between Naha and Tokashiki Island was quite bumpy, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

とかしくビーチでは、海ガメに会えましたし、サンゴに群がる可愛いお魚たちも見れたので、
ポイントを知っているガイド付きツアーに参加して良かったです！
阿波連ビーチでのフリータイムでは、クバンダキ展望台とトンネル岩からのビューも素晴らしいかつたです。
那覇⇔渡嘉敷島は、結構揺れたので、(船)酔い止めを飲んでおくことをお勧めします。

While listening to the guide's entertaining stories, I swam from Shinjō Beach through the shallows and was able to say hello to a sea turtle right away! Not just one, but several turtles, and I was healed by their leisurely pace as they ate seaweed! The guide took many wonderful photos for me! Thank you for sharing recommendations for great spots in Miyako Island!

ガイドさんの楽しいお話しを聞きながら、新城海岸から浅瀬を泳いでいくと、すぐウミガメさんとこんにちはできました！一匹に限らず何匹も会えて、ゆっくりマイペースに海藻を食べている姿に癒されました！ガイドさんには素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってもらいました！宮古島のおすすめスポットも教えてくださってありがとうございます！

It says 99%, but I believe it's actually 100%. Thank you for considering my pregnant wife as well.

99%とありますが、きっと100%なんだと思います。
妊婦の妻にも配慮してもらい、ありがとうございました。

My first impression was that the staff were very kind. I thought the snorkeling lesson for beginners would be unnecessary since I had personal experience, but it was conducted thoroughly and appropriately, and I didn't feel like my time to experience was reduced. During the experience, they taught us the names of the fish, where to find them, and even some interesting trivia, which made it worthwhile to participate. They also offered to take photos frequently, and all the staff were gentle and kind. If I visit Ishigaki again and participate in a tour, I would like to join a tour organized by RISE.

1番始めの感想がスタッフの皆さんが、とても親切でした。
シュノーケルの初めての方への講習も、個人的に経験していたため不要かと思っていましたが、丁寧かつ適切に講習されており、体験する時間が少なくなるような感じは無かったです。
また体験では、魚の名前やどこに何がいるか、また豆知識的なところまで教えてくれ、参加した甲斐がありました。
写真もこまめに撮ってくれるよう声をかけていただいたり、スタッフの全員が優しく親切な方でした。
また石垣を訪れ、ツアーに参加するならば、RISEさんの企画するツアーに参加したいと思います。

I finally swam with sea turtles! I read in reviews that the free parking fills up quickly, so I arrived around 8:20 and just managed to park one car. The paid parking is 2000 yen for the day. I'm not a great swimmer; during my school swimming classes, I always ended up in the group that couldn't swim. However, the staff were very kind, saying, "If you get tired, just grab onto the float. I'll pull you." That made me feel at ease. Fortunately, with a life jacket and fins, I was able to glide through the water and enjoyed myself without needing to hold onto the float until the end! Shinjo Beach is shallow, so I could reach the seabed, which made it not scary at all. Along the way, I encountered a sea turtle that seemed used to people; it was very cute as it focused on its meal even when I got quite close. (Touching the sea turtles is prohibited.) The staff showed me photos saying, "This is how it looks right now," and the finished photos were fantastic. I'm really grateful for that. I immediately sent them to my family and friends. Not only did I see the sea turtles, but I also got to see beautiful fish, and I was very happy that they took pictures of the fish I thought were cute. Thank you very much. The staff were not only knowledgeable about sea turtles and the ocean but also kindly provided a list of recommended spots in Miyako Island via LINE at the end. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

念願だったウミガメと泳ぎました。口コミで無料駐車場がすぐ埋まるとあったので、8:20頃に着いてギリギリ1台停めれました。有料駐車場は1日2000円です。学生時代のプールの授業では毎回泳げないグループに入るほど、泳ぐのは苦手ですが、スタッフさんはとても親切で『しんどくなったら浮き輪に捕まってください。引っ張ります』とのことで安心でした。幸い、ライフジャケットとフィンですいすい進めたので、浮き輪に捕まらなくても最後まで楽しめました！新城海岸は浅くて、海底に手が届くくらいなので全然怖くなかったです。途中でウミガメに遭遇でき、人慣れしているようでかなり近づいても、ご飯タイムに集中していてとても可愛かったです。(ウミガメに触るのは禁止です) 写真も『今こんな感じに撮れてます』と見せてくださり、出来上がった写真も最高でした。本当に感謝です。さっそく家族や友人に送りました。ウミガメだけでなく、綺麗なお魚も見ることができ、私が可愛いと思っていたお魚の写真も撮ってくださっていてとても嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。スタッフさんはウミガメや海のことだけでなく、最後に宮古島のオススメスポットを一覧にしてLINEで教えてくださり最後までとても親切にしていただきました。最高の思い出をありがとうございました！

Swimming with the sea turtles was amazing! I thought it would take time to find them and that we would have to go out to deeper waters, but they were just casually swimming in the shallow areas, eating seaweed, and they didn't run away even when we got close. I couldn't believe how close we could get! It was beyond my expectations. The coral reefs were beautiful, and I wanted to keep diving there. The guide was incredibly kind, which made me feel at ease. I received many beautifully taken photos, creating wonderful memories of my time in Miyako Island. I want to come back again!

ウミガメさんとずーっと泳げて最高でした！
ウミガメを探すのに沖へ出たり、時間がかかるのかと思っていましたが、浅瀬に普通に(笑)いて、普通に泳いでいて、普通に海藻を食べていて、近くに行っても全然逃げないし、こんなに近くにいられるなんて！想像以上でした。
珊瑚礁もきれいでずっと潜っていたかったです。
ガイドさんがとにかく親切で安心できました。
きれいに撮っていただいた写真もたくさん送ってもらえて、最高の宮古島での思い出ができました。
また来たいです！

The explanations were very friendly and easy to understand. During the transfer to the beach, the guide casually talked to all the participants about delicious restaurants, allowing us to enjoy our time even outside of snorkeling. The explanations during snorkeling were also clear. They sent us about 60 to 70 photos, including pictures with sea turtles and of the coral and fish underwater. They turned out beautifully and became precious memories. I would love to request their services again when I visit Miyako Island. Thank you very much!!

From Shinji

It was my first time snorkeling, and I received thorough instruction. Additionally, I was given recommendations for great restaurants, making the time outside of snorkeling enjoyable as well.

During snorkeling, I was able to get so close to the turtles that I couldn't believe it!

It was a fun and valuable experience, and I would like to participate again. I highly recommend it!

From Daiki

Thanks to Yamachan's cheerful guidance, I swam a lot, and the enjoyable time flew by. I actually got to see sea turtles and had beautiful photos taken, making it the best experience! Also, I was introduced to delicious yakitori restaurants in Tokyo and Miyako, so I hope to visit them if I get the chance, haha. I will rely on you again when I go to Miyako!

From Keita

とても和やかにご説明等してくださいました。海までの移動中も美味しいお店等気さくに参加者の皆さんに話してくださり、シュノーケル以外のお時間も楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。
シュノーケルの最中も、分かりやすい説明でした。ウミガメとの写真、海の中の珊瑚や魚たちの写真含め、60〜70枚ほど送ってくださいました。とても綺麗に写っていて、貴重な思い出になりました。
また宮古島へ遊び行った際は、またお願いしたいです。本当にありがとうございました！！


しんじより　

はじめてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらえました。
また、オススメのお店を教えてもらえたりと、シュノーケリング時以外でも、楽しく過ごせました。

シュノーケリングでは、
こんなに近付けるの!?っていうくらい、亀に近付いて観ることができました。

楽しく、貴重な体験ができるので、また参加したいと思います。オススメです！


だいきより


やまちゃんさんの明るいガイドもあり、たくさん泳ぎましたが、あっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎて行きました。実際にウミガメも見ることができて綺麗な写真も撮影していただき最高の体験でした！
また、東京と宮古の美味しい焼き鳥屋も紹介してもらったので機会があれば行きたいと思います笑
また宮古に行った際はお世話になります！

けいたより

First of all, they are not punctual. I was made to wait for nearly an hour on a hot boat, and during that time, there was no communication about why the departure was delayed. The instructor seemed inexperienced. When it was time to enter the sea, I asked the instructor for a life jacket in the crowded boat, and one after another, others came up saying, "Me too, please."

The snorkeling point prioritized water sports like jet skiing, and there were hardly any corals or fish. The instructor said, "They were here in the morning, though." When I tried to move away to a spot with corals, I was told, "Please stay close." Just beyond that, jet skis were zipping by. We were only allowed to stay in one spot.

There were many foreigners making a lot of noise, and they played music on the boat. If you enjoy that kind of atmosphere, it might be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who want to purely enjoy snorkeling. I have participated in many snorkeling options in Okinawa and was impressed by the professionalism of the staff, so I never imagined there would be a tour like this. It was a learning experience.

まず時間にルーズです。暑い船上で1時間近く待たされました。その間、なぜ出発が遅れているかの声かけもありません。
インストラクターも素人のような方でした。さあ海に入りますという声かけ時に「ライフジャケットを下さい」と込み合う船内でインストラクターに声を掛けました。次から次へと「私もください」と言うかたが寄っていきました。
シュノーケルポイントも、水上バイク等マリンスポーツ優先のポイントで、サンゴも魚もほぼいませんでした。インストラクター曰く「午前中はいたんですけどねー」との事。
サンゴのある場所まで少しでも離れようとすると。「そばにいてください」と。その先はすぐ水上バイクが滑走しています。1か所でただ留まるのみです。
外国の方も多く大騒ぎし、船上でも音楽をかけまくり、そのような雰囲気が好きな方には申し分ないかと思いますが、シュノーケリングを純粋に楽しみたい方にはおすすめしません。
沖縄で、シュノーケリングのオプションにはたくさん参加させていただいており、スタッフ皆さんプロだなと感心させられていたので、このようなツアーがあるとは想像もしておらず勉強になりました。

I was able to swim with many sea turtles. I was very satisfied to see fish and coral as well. They took and sent me many beautiful photos. They said, "If there are any fish you want us to take pictures of, just let us know," so I took them up on their offer and had them take various shots. There were children in the same group, and they were very kind to adjust the pace for everyone. I personally didn't mind, but the bright yellow fins weren't particularly stylish, so if you're concerned about how the photos will turn out, it might be a good idea to check in advance. The beach itself was very crowded, and there was only a paid parking lot available for 2,000 yen. It might take some time to find a spot, so I think it's best to go with some extra time to spare. I thought it was "Shinjō" beach, but I panicked when I realized it was "Aragusuku" beach, so everyone should be careful.

ウミガメと沢山一緒に泳げました。
魚や珊瑚まで見ることができて大満足です。
綺麗な写真も沢山撮って送ってくださいました。
「撮ってほしい魚いたら言ってくださいね〜」と言ってくれたので、お言葉に甘えていろいろ撮ってもらいました。
同じグループにお子さんもいたのですが、ペースをそれぞれに合わせてくれてとても親切でした。
私は全く気にしませんが、真っ黄色のフィンで特におしゃれなものではなかったので、写真映えを気にされる方は事前に確認した方がいいかもしれません。
ビーチ自体すごく混雑していて、2,000円の有料駐車場しか空いていませんでした。停めるのにも時間がかかる場合がありそうなので、時間に余裕を持って行かれると良いと思います。
「しんじょう」海岸だと思っていたら「あらぐすく」海岸で場所を間違えたと思い焦ったので皆さんご注意を。

It had been 15 years since I last entered the sea or went snorkeling. I had a bit of trouble getting the gear to fit properly, but our guide Kana was kind enough to help adjust it and let me hold onto the board, so I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the fish without any worries. The explanations at each point were accurate, and I was thrilled when they took photos of us floating from below while we were free diving. We received many wonderful photos right there, which became great keepsakes. On the way back, I was able to quickly take a shower, change, and even do my makeup at the shop, leaving me feeling very satisfied as I returned to the hotel. If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to be taken care of by Summer Resort again. Thank you, Kana!

海に入るのも、シュノーケルも15年ぶりでした。
ギアがなかなかフィットせず、少し困りましたが、ガイドのカナさんが親切に調整したり、ボードにつかまらせてくださったりしたので、不安なく、美しい海とお魚を堪能できました。各ポイントでの説明も的確で、素潜りして、下から、浮いている私たちを撮影してくださったのには感激しました。とても素晴らしい写真がその場でたくさん届いて、よい記念になりました。帰りもショップで素早くシャワー、着替え、お化粧まで済ませることができ、とても満ち足りた気持ちでホテルに帰れました。ご縁があれば、ぜひまたサマーリゾートさんにお世話になりたいです。カナさん、ありがとうございました。

私の日本語は下手ですが、シュノーケリングのコーチは英語を話せます。また、私は泳げないので、コーチは私のライフベストに通常の浮き棒を取り付けてくれました。そして、シュノーケリングの間ずっと大きな浮き棒をつかんでいました。とても面白かったです。

さらに、私たちは阿波連ビーチでの自由時間中に機材を使うことができます。休憩したり、昼食を食べたり、シャワーを浴びたりするための拠点があるのは便利です。

My Japanese is poor, the snorkel coach can speak English. Also, I cannot swim, the coach attached a regular floating rod with my life vest, and I grabbed a large floating rod during whole snorkel process. It was very interesting.

Besides, we can still use the equipment during the free time in Aharen Beach. It's convenient we have a base to rest, eat lunch and take shower.

I was able to enjoy snorkeling and marine activities for half a day. The weather was nice, and the sea was clear, allowing us to see colorful fish and sea snakes. The marine activity with Marble was thrilling and very fun. However, it was quite windy that day, and the boat was rocking a lot. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, but the swaying was intense, and some people were suffering from seasickness. Even while the boat was stationary, it was still rocking, making it tough even for those who had taken medication. I think it's better to take medication even if you're usually fine with seasickness.

シュノーケル、マリンアクティビティを半日で堪能できました。天気も良く海は澄んでいてカラフルな魚、ウミヘビ等を見ることができました。ママリンアクティビティのマーブルはスピード感もありとても楽しかったです。ただ、当日風が強くて船がかなり揺れました。シュノーケルポイントまで30分ほどでしたが揺れがすごく、船酔いで苦しんでいる人がいました。また停船している船の上でも揺れていて薬を飲んでいてもキツかったです。船酔いに強くても薬は飲んだ方がいいと思います。

The boat to Kerama had quite high waves and was very rocky, but I was able to see a beautiful sea.
Due to the large number of people, we couldn't choose which diving spot to go to, but it was fun.
I had a really enjoyable time snorkeling.

慶良間までの船がかなり波が高く揺れが凄かったですが、とてもキレイな海を見れました。
ダイビングは人数が多い為、どちらのポイントか選ぶ事は出来ませんでしたが楽しかったです。
シュノーケルはとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was my first time snorkeling in my life! The world that I had only seen on TV unfolded before me, and it was truly moving. The staff were all very kind, and even though I participated alone, I was able to enjoy it without feeling shy.

人生初のシュノーケリングでした❗️
テレビでしか見たことの無い世界が広がり感動でした。
スタッフも皆さん親切で一人での参加でしたが、気後れせず楽しめました。

I swam with turtles at Shinjo Coast. They took a lot of photos and sent them all to me. They also guided us to the coral reefs. Most snorkeling tours have a restriction for those under 65, but here there was no age limit for seniors, so I participated. However, it's quite far from the accommodation, so if you're going alone, the round-trip taxi fare might be a bit painful.

新城海岸で亀と一緒に泳ぎました。写真もいっぱい撮ってもらって、全て送ってくれました。珊瑚礁の方にも案内してくれました。ほとんどのシュノーケルツアーが65歳以下の制限がありますが、ここはシニアの年齢制限なかったので、参加しました。ただ宿泊先からは遠いので、１人参加だと、往復のタクシーがちょっと痛いかな。

There were about 55 participants, which meant there were more people than fish while snorkeling, and I got hit multiple times on the head and body by fins. I didn't have a full-face mask, and there was no announcement about feeding the fish, plus there were repeated suggestions for optional activities, which made me tired from the start due to the time lost. On the return shuttle bus, I wasn't on the list and was worried I would be left behind. When the bus was leaving the parking lot, someone cut in line, and the other drivers were yelling, which was nerve-wracking. I guess it was understandable since it was low-priced and could be booked the day before. About 70% of the participants were foreigners, and although there was a language barrier, everyone followed the rules, which was reassuring.

参加者が55名程で大人数のため、シュノーケル時魚より人のほうが多い位で何度も足のヒレで頭や身体にあたられてしまいました。
フルフェイスマスクでもなかったし、魚の餌付けもアナウンスなしで、オプションの勧めが何度もあり時間のロスで最初から疲れました。帰りの送迎バスではエントリーされておらず危うくとり残されるとこで心配しました。バスでは駐車場を出る時順番を守らず割り込んだので他車の運転者が怒鳴っていたのでヒヤヒヤしました。前日予約できるのと低価格だったので仕方ないかな‥
参加者70%外国人で言葉の壁はありましたが皆さんルールを守っておられそこは安心しました。

It was very good.

I was able to see six sea turtles. The sea was beautiful, and I was very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. There were about 50 people on the boat, and it felt like there were roughly equal numbers of Japanese and foreigners. The guide was kind, and it was nice that they provided transportation back.

On the other hand, I was a bit concerned about the office being too crowded, possibly because the tour company is large, and the changing area was like a conference room.

Overall, I was satisfied with the experience!

非常に良かったです。

ウミガメは6匹見ることが出来ました。
海も綺麗でシュノーケリング自体は大満足です。
50名ほどの乗合いで、日本人と外国人は半々くらいな印象です。
ガイドさんも優しく、帰りも送迎してくれてよかったです。

一方、事務所はツアー会社が大きい為か、人が多すぎる点や、着替え場所が会議室みたいな場所だった為、その辺りは気になりました。

総合すると満足の内容だったのでよかったです！
