All Reviews for Snorkeling

I was able to encounter a sea turtle right at the beginning! I was so moved, as I never expected to see one up close. I had mistakenly thought it was a tour to see coral reefs, and when I mentioned that, they kindly guided me to observe the coral reefs as well. I was very satisfied!! The person who joined me couldn't swim, but the handsome guide pulled him along on a float and checked on his condition regularly, so he was able to enjoy it without any worries. The rental of wetsuits and amenities like shampoo were also very helpful. They also recommended delicious local restaurants and sightseeing spots, so I recommend participating on the first day of your trip.

開始すぐにウミガメに遭遇できました！
こんなに近くで見れるとは思わず、とても感動しました。珊瑚礁も見れるツアーと勘違いしており、その旨を伝えると珊瑚礁の観測にも案内してくださいました。大満足です！！一緒に参加した彼は泳げませんでしたが、イケメンガイドさんが浮きで引っ張って下さったり、適宜体調も確認していただき不安なく彼も楽しめていました。
ウエットスーツの貸し出し、シャンプーなどアメニティ類も使用でき助かりました。
地元の美味しいご飯屋さんや観光スポットも教えてくださるので、旅行初日に参加をお勧めします。

I took my 5-year-old daughter with me. She usually swims, but she seemed really nervous about the real ocean. Unlike swimming, where she can just keep her head above water, it was difficult for her to hold her breath since the water covered her nose. However, she had a great time playing and looking around with the things she was holding. It’s hard to find places where small children can participate, so I’m glad we came here. The explanations were detailed and very thorough. The shower room was spacious and had shampoo, which made things easier afterward. I was also happy that they took a lot of free photos. It would have been perfect if they had also captured videos of us swimming with the fish! I’m sorry for asking for extra help since I was so focused on watching my child. I’ll definitely come back again!

5歳の女の子連れて行きました。普段スイミングを行ってますが本当の海は流石にドキドキしてた感じです。はスイミングと違って鼻まで被すから息変えが難しかったから両手で持ってる物でよく見てよく遊んでくれました。小さい子が参加できる店がなかなかなくてここでよかったです。説明も詳しく丁寧にしてくれました。シャワー室も広くてシャンプーとかも付いてて後が楽でした。写メも無料でいっぱい撮ってくれて嬉しいです。魚の画像も私たちが泳ぐ動画も撮ってくれてたら言うことなかったです笑子供を見守るため必死だったから手間がないのに無理を言ってすみません！！
また行きまーーーす！

I participated in snorkeling during June when there were two typhoons (´；ω；｀). It was uncertain if we could even go to Okinawa, but the typhoons shifted, and surprisingly, we were able to go snorkeling! On the day of snorkeling, it didn't rain at all! The sun even peeked out a little ☀️.°

Here comes… Kerama Blue ❤ It was already beautiful, but apparently, it's even more stunning normally!! Yes, a revenge trip is definitely on the cards.

Oh! I thought I wouldn't need motion sickness medication, but I ended up getting seasick (´；ω；｀). If you really want to enjoy yourself to the fullest, motion sickness medication is a must (*•̀ᴗ•́*).

Thanks to my friends and the kind staff, I made the best memories ✌️.

It might be a good idea to put your phone in a waterproof case for photos. You can download the pictures later, but the ones you take yourself will definitely become cherished memories!

I participated for half a day, but I was completely satisfied!!

I think I'll definitely join again on my next trip to Okinawa.

Everyone!!! I highly recommend it!!!!

僕がシュノーケルに参加したのは
6月に台風が2回も来た時(´；ω；｀)
沖縄自体行けるか微妙だったのですが
台風もズレ、なんとシュノーケルも行けるとの事‍♀️
シュノーケル当日もまさかの雨降らず！
少し太陽も出てくれた️☀️.°

いでよ…慶良間ブルー❤
十分綺麗やったのに
普段はもっともっと綺麗らしい！！
はい、リベンジ決定

あ！
酔い止めなんて要らんやろ！って
思ってたら
見事に、酔いました(´；ω；｀)
ほんとに全力で楽しみたいなら
酔い止め必須(*•̀ᴗ•́*)

自分らの仲間と優しい従業員さん達のおかげで
最高の思い出出来ました✌️

防水ケースに携帯入れて撮影してもいいかも
後から写真はダウンロード出来るけど、自分が撮ったのは格段に思い出になるとおもう！

半日の参加でしたが
大満足でした！！

次回沖縄旅行行く時も絶対に参加すると思います

みなさーーーん！！！
激オススメですよ！！！！

The weather was great, and I was impressed by the beauty of the sea in Miyako Island. I saw many blue fish and the vibrant colors of the fish were amazing. I also got to see a sea turtle. I had a great time thanks to the handsome instructor! I will definitely make a reservation the next time I come to Miyako Island. Don't forget to swim energetically again!

天候にも恵まれ
宮古島の海の綺麗さには感動です。
青い魚などたくさんみれました
魚たちの色鮮やかさ、ウミガメにもしっかり会えました。
楽しめたのはイケメンインストラクターさんのおかげです！
また宮古島に来る時、予約しますね~
また元気な泳ぐで~忘れないでね。

A trip with my adult daughter, and our guide, Kometchi, was incredibly attentive and took great care of my daughter, who was having difficulty breathing. They quickly eased her anxiety. They were also great at spotting sea turtles and provided us with a wealth of information about Miyako Island, making our snorkeling experience and the rest of our trip truly enjoyable.

We had originally booked an afternoon course, but we received a call the day before suggesting we switch to the morning due to tide conditions. At the time, I didn't realize it, but they were right—snorkeling was much easier closer to high tide, so I definitely recommend going at a time when you can dive deeper. Also, it's a good idea to book on the first day and gather plenty of recommended information about Miyako Island!

成人した娘との2人旅、担当のこめっちさん、上手く呼吸出来ない娘にとてもゆっくり丁寧に対応してくださり、すぐに不安払拭。ウミガメを見つけるのも上手だし何よりも宮古島情報をたくさんくださって、シュノーケルだけじゃ無く、その後の旅も本当に楽しめました。
予約は午後からコースでしたが、前日にお電話があり潮位の関係で午前が良いとの事で変更。
その時は分からなかったけど、仰るとおり満潮に近い方がシュノーケルし易かったので、ぜひ深く潜れる時間をオススメします。あと、一日目に予約して宮古島のオススメ情報いっぱい聞き出すと良いですよー。

We found this tour while searching for a beach trip because our family wanted to swim in the beautiful sea of Okinawa. We used Abaren Beach. There was no need to worry about transportation on the island, and we were able to rent floaties and umbrellas at the beach, which allowed us to travel light. The family members who could swim enjoyed swimming a bit further out, while those who couldn't enjoyed the sea at the water's edge. Even close to the shore, we could see fish and fully enjoyed the ocean. On the way back, we rinsed off the seawater with a shower and returned to the main island with a pleasant sense of fatigue.

沖縄のきれいな海で泳ぎたいという家族の希望があり、海水浴だけのツアーを探してこちらを見つけました。
ビーチは阿波連ビーチを利用。
島では移動の心配も無く、ビーチでは浮き輪、パラソルなども借りることができたので、荷物は少なくすみました。
泳げる家族は少し沖まで泳ぎを楽しみ、泳げない家族は波打ち際で海を楽しんでいました。
浜に近いところでも魚を見ることができて、海を堪能しました。
帰りはシャワーで軽く海水を落とし、心地よい疲れとともに本島へと戻りました。

I participated in snorkeling alone. There were a few other solo participants, and it didn't feel awkward at all, which was nice. Most of the participants were from overseas.

Positive points:
- The staff were calm and professional, which was great.
- The transportation made it easy to get to and from the location.

Concerns:
- At the shop, there were many people waiting from the time of changing clothes until the boat departure. If you don't ask, you won't receive the next instructions.
- Due to the large number of participants, the preparation time was long, making the time spent in the water feel short. I spent more time on the boat than in the water, just going down, swimming a bit, and coming back up repeatedly.
- In the changing room, there was also a wait for changing clothes and showers. The waiting time during the transfer was short, so it wasn't too much of a hassle, but some people might find it stressful.

The weather was cloudy, and we didn't see any sea turtles, so it just felt like we visited three spots. If you're considering the Kerama Islands, it might be worth looking into direct tours from the islands. Personally, I was drawn in by the top rating, but my impression was that it was neither particularly good nor bad.

1人でシュノーケリングで参加しました。
１人参加はチラホラおり、変に浮くような感じでもなくよかったです。参加者は、海外の方が非常に多かったです。

好かった点
○お店の方は淡々と対応してくれて、どなたも
ビジネスライクでよかったです。
○送迎があって行き帰りが楽でした。

気になった点
○お店で着替えからの船の出港まで、人数が多くて
待たされるところ。
自分から聞かないと次の案内をされません。
○人数が多いこともあり、準備時間が長くて、
海中にいる時間が短く感じる
船の上にいた時間の方が長いです。
潜って少し周遊して上がるの繰り返しでして。。
○更衣室で着替え、シャワーも順番待ちです。
移動時間中で、短時間なので苦にはならない
ですが、ストレス感じる人はいるかもなと。

天気も曇りだったのと、ウミガメに関してもスルーでして、ただ３箇所回ったっていう印象でした。
慶良間諸島であれば、島の方からの直接ツアーも視野にいれてもいいかと思います。
個人的には、評価１位につられて参加しましたが、良くも悪くもなくという印象でした。

I went mangrove canoeing and sightseeing at Yubu Island. With thorough preparation, we were able to efficiently experience and tour from the morning until around 4:00 PM. We were blessed with good weather, and the guides were kind and dedicated in their assistance, making it a very memorable experience.

マングローブカヌー、由布島観光をしました。
しっかりご準備いただき、朝から16:00頃まで
効率良く体験•観光ができました。
天気に恵まれ、ガイドの方々は親切に一生懸命ご案内してくださったので、非常に良い思い出になりました。

I participated in a solo trip to Miyako Island for the first time. The guide was very friendly and easy to talk to, and the assistance was great, making it a very enjoyable experience. I also encountered a sea turtle, and they took beautiful photos, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

初めての宮古島でひとり旅で参加させて頂きました。
ガイドの方がとてもフレンドリーでお話ししやすく、アテンドも良くとても楽しめました。
ウミガメとも出会え、綺麗に写真を撮ってくださって、とても良い思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました。

- The guide was very kind and provided easy-to-understand explanations, making it easy for first-timers to participate.
- There was also ample support for those who are not good at swimming.
- The duration and distance of swimming were just right, and it was nice to receive photos afterward.

・ガイドの方がとても親切、分かりやすい説明で初めてでも参加しやすい。
・泳ぎが苦手な人へのサポートも厚い。
・時間も泳ぐ距離も程よい、終わった後に写真も頂けるのが良かった。

The weather was great, and I was able to see many sea turtles! Kometchi-san taught me various facts about sea turtles, which was very educational. I also received information about recommended spots in the area, which was very helpful. Thank you!

天気にも恵まれ、たくさんの海亀を見ることができました！こめっちさんが色々とうみがめの知識を教えてくれたので勉強にもなりました。
また、周辺のおすすめスポットなどの情報もいただき、とても参考になりました♪
ありがとうございました！

I was quite anxious during my first kayaking experience, but the instructor was very kind and taught me well! It was also really enjoyable to talk about Ishigaki Island and nature! The mangroves I saw for the first time were very mystical and beautiful! I definitely want to experience it again!

初めてのカヤックでは不安が強かったのですが、インストラクターさんがとても親切に教えて頂きました！石垣島のことだったり、自然のことだったり、お話もとても楽しかったです！
初めて見るマングローブはとても神秘的で素敵でした！
また必ず体験したいと思います！

I went on a mangrove kayak tour by myself, and even in the car, I was able to hear valuable stories about Ishigaki Island. It was my first time kayaking, but they kindly and thoroughly taught me, and the photos they sent were really beautiful, creating wonderful memories! Thanks to all the guides. It was also my first time snorkeling, and I wasn't very good at it, but it became a great memory. Thank you very much!

一人旅で、マングローブカヤックツアーに行きましたが、車の中でも石垣島の貴重なお話を聞かせてくださったり、カヤックは初めてだったのですが、親切丁寧に教えてくださって、送って下さった写真も本当に綺麗でいい思い出になりました！
ガイドの皆さんのおかげです。
シュノーケルも初めてで、ヘタクソでしたが、いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました

I was able to meet a sea turtle and swim together at a very close distance. We also went to a place with a lot of coral, where I could see many colorful fish up close!

ウミガメに会えて、とっても近距離で一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。サンゴが多くあるところにも行き、たくさんのカラフルなお魚と間近で見ることができました！

The guide was great, and I had a wonderful experience! The Blue Cave was very beautiful, and I want to come back! It was truly the best! Thank you!

ガイドの方も対応も良く、とてもいい思い出が出来ました！
青の洞窟もとても綺麗で、また来たいと思いました！
本当に最高でした！
ありがとうございました！

I enjoyed kayaking up the river lined with mangroves, trekking to the waterfall, and immersing myself in nature. The guide was also fantastic, making this tour highly recommended.

マングローブが群生する川をカヤックで遡上、滝までトレッキングと自然を満喫できました。
またガイドさんも最高でおすすめのツアーです。

Due to the rain and strong winds, the tour content changed, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful Kabira Bay! The staff recommended some great places, making my trip even more fulfilling. ^_^

雨と強風で、ツアー内容が変わってしまいましたが、キレイな川平湾を楽しむ事ができました！
スタッフさんに、おすすめのお店を教えてもらい、より充実した旅行になりました^_^

I learned about mangroves for the first time in detail. Thanks to the knowledgeable guide, I had a great time.

マングローブのことをはじめてちゃんと知りました。
詳しいガイドさんのおかげでとっても楽しめました。

Despite the somewhat cloudy weather, I was glad to be able to go snorkeling in the ocean with excellent visibility and see various fish. I also had the opportunity to sign up for parasailing on the boat, which allowed me to experience the best feeling of floating. I had arranged for a pickup, but considering the possibility of rain, I decided to go directly to the meeting place by car the day before. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a response via message, and the phone number provided on the day didn't connect either, so it seems there was a miscommunication. I was disappointed that at least the contact number for the day wasn't reachable.

やや曇りというあいにくの天気にもかかわらず、抜群の透明度の海でシュノーケリングができ、様々な魚たちを見ることができて良かったです。
船の上でパラセーリングを申し込むことができ、最高の浮遊感覚を味わうことができました。
送迎を申し込んでいたところ、雨の降る可能性も考えて前日に車で直接集合場所に行こうと変更したのですが、メッセージでの返信だけでなく、当日朝の電話も通じず、結局すれ違いになってしまったようでした。
当日の連絡先の電話くらいは通じるようにしてもらいたかったのが残念でした。

I visited the Blue Cave for the first time, and it was very beautiful! I thought it might be crowded during the second half of Golden Week, but I chose the 7 AM option, which turned out to be a great decision. Fortunately, there were few people, and the Blue Cave felt like a private experience! I was able to take a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory! There were also many fish, which was great. I would love to participate again! Thank you!

初めて青の洞窟来ました、とても綺麗でした！
ゴールデンウィーク後半で混んでいるかなと思っていましたが、朝7時からのを選択したのが良くとても運がいいことに人が少なく青の洞窟が貸切状態でした！
たくさん写真も撮っていただきとてもいい思い出になりました！
魚も沢山いて良かったです
また参加したいです！ありがとうございました

Not only did we see sea turtles, but we also spotted fish like clownfish! I was surprised to find several sea turtles in shallow waters where the depth was less than 2 meters! They were so focused on eating seaweed that they were indifferent to the humans floating nearby. Occasionally, they would surface for air, and I was able to take photos at those moments, creating wonderful memories. It was astonishing to be so close that I could almost touch them. Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, being pulled along with a kickboard made it safe and enjoyable. Thanks to the buoyancy of the life jacket, I could float comfortably without worrying about breathing even if I took off my mask. The calm waves and shallow waters were also reassuring. It was great that I could join as an individual participant, and the shop provided transportation, plus we received photos right after returning, which was a delightful service. They also provided a map to some delicious restaurants. The sea turtle tour was the best, so exciting that I couldn't sleep! Thank you, guide!

ウミガメだけではなく、カクレクマノミなどの魚も見られました！！
ウミガメは２ｍもない足のつきそうな浅瀬に何匹もいて驚きました！
夢中で海藻を食べているので、浮いている人間には無関心です。
ときどき呼吸のために浮上してくるのですが、そのタイミングで写真を撮っていただけて良い思い出になりました。
触れるくらい近くにいて、びっくりです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても、ビート板で引っ張っていただけたので安心＆楽です。
ライフジャケットの浮力で、ずっと浮いてるのでマスク取っても呼吸の心配もないです。
波が穏やかで足が着く浅瀬なのも安心でした。
１人参加可でショップから送迎をしてもらえて、戻ってすぐに写真もいただけて嬉しいサービスでした。
美味しいお店の地図もいただけます。
興奮して眠れないほど、ウミガメツアーは最高でした！！
ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

It was Golden Week, so there were quite a few people, and our departure was delayed by about 30 minutes, but we were able to stay at the beach for about 4 hours. The lunch served was curry, which was delicious, but I thought it would have been even better if there were a few more menu options.

GWだったので多少ひとも多く、出航時間も30分ほど遅れましたが、ビーチでは4時間ほど滞在できました。
昼食はカレーが出て美味しかったですが、何種類かメニューがあれば、なお良いと思いました。

Right after we dove in, there was a sea turtle right there, and by the end, we were able to swim with over ten of them up close!

Perhaps because it was high tide, the sea turtles came quite close to the shallow areas, so we could snorkel comfortably within a range where we could stand. Neither my husband nor I can swim well, but the life jackets kept us floating nicely, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry!

The instructor, Komecchi, was very fun and kind, and we were able to get along well with the other participants, which made us very satisfied! We also had over 20 wonderful photos taken, and we were grateful for all the recommendations for spots in Miyako on our way back. Thanks to that, we had a fantastic time in Miyako Island! If we have the chance, we would love to do it again.

潜った直後からすぐそこにウミガメさんがいて、終わるまでには10匹以上はすぐ近くで泳ぐことができました！

満潮の時間だったからか、かなり浅瀬のところまでウミガメさんが来てくれたので、最後まで足のつく範囲でシュノーケリングができました。夫婦そろって全然泳げませんでしたが、ライフジャケットがかなりぷかぷか浮けたので、安心して楽しむことができました！

インストラクターのこめっちさんもとても楽しくて親切で、参加者同士でも仲良く過ごせて大満足です！素敵なお写真も20枚以上撮っていただき、帰りに宮古のおすすめスポットもたくさん教えていただきありがとうございました。
おかげで宮古島大満足でした！機会があればまたお願いしたいです。

If you want to meet sea turtles, I definitely recommend this place. Before participating this time, I joined other snorkeling tours but couldn't encounter any.

The instructor, Komecchi, was very thorough in his explanations and friendly, making for a very enjoyable time!!

Thank you very much.

ウミガメに会いたいなら絶対ここをオススメします。
今回参加する前にほかのシュノーケルにも参加しましたが出会う事が出来ず

インストラクター（こめっち）さんの説明も丁寧で愛想も良く、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！！

ありがとうございました。

We went to the beautiful sea of Ishigaki Island to celebrate my partner's birthday. It was my first time doing a SUP tour and snorkeling, and the weather was perfect with a clear blue sea, which was amazing. During snorkeling, our guide, Arai, shared knowledge about Ishigaki Island on the bus ride and provided detailed explanations of the equipment in the water. He also took beautiful photos of us, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which was fantastic. However, I did feel a bit seasick while diving, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to bring some medication.

During the SUP tour, we had a great time on the water thanks to our cheerful coach, Yusuke. The "Nice in!" cheers when we fell into the water were the best! We even sang a birthday song together on the water, which made my partner very happy. We took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

今回パートナーのBirthdayを祝うために石垣島の綺麗な海に行きました。SUPツアーとシュノーケリングを初めてやったのですが、よく晴れていて海も青く透きとおり最高でした。シュノーケリングではガイドの新井さんが行きのバスで石垣島の知識など説明し、海では丁寧に道具の説明、海での写真を綺麗に撮っていただき、またウミガメにも遭遇できてとても良かったです。ただ潜ってる最中にちょっと酔ってしまい酔いやすい人は酔いどめ必要かも。SUPツアーでは明るいユウスケさんのコーチングで海の上を楽しく過ごせました。途中何度も海に落ちてしまったときなどナイスイン！の掛け声最高です。また海の上でみんなでBirthdayソングを歌ってくれてこんなにも楽しい時間を過ごせるなんてパートナーもとても喜んでいました。写真も沢山撮って頂き最高の思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

I had a rich experience even though it was just a half-day course! I got to see beautiful coral, feed the fish, and even see turtles. I recommend it for those who have a short stay and want to make the most of their last day.

半日コースなのに濃厚な時間が過ごせました！
美しい珊瑚、お魚の餌やり、亀も見れました。
滞在日数が少ない、最終日まで遊び倒したい方にオススメです。

I was nervous about whether I would get to see a sea turtle until the day of the event, but I was thrilled to encounter one right at the start! My elementary school daughter was also very satisfied with her first snorkeling experience! The instructor was cheerful and provided thorough guidance, which made me very happy. Thank you so much!

当日までウミガメに会えるかドキドキでしたが、開始早々に出会えて感激しました♪
小学生の娘も大満足の初シュノーケリングとなりました！
インストラクターの方も明るく丁寧にレクチャーいただき嬉しかったです。本当にありがとうございました^ ^

My husband and I participated together. I was a bit nervous since it had been a while since I last went snorkeling, but the accompanying staff were very kind and made it a wonderful experience! We got to see many sea turtles and tropical fish, and I was thrilled to take lots of photos with the sea turtles. I definitely want to use this service again next time.

主人と2人で参加しました。久しぶりのシュノーケリングで少し緊張していましたが、同行スタッフの方が親切に対応してくださり、素晴らしい体験ができました！
海亀や熱帯魚にもたくさん会えて、海亀との3ショット写真もたくさん撮って頂き感激です。次回もぜひ利用させていただきたいと思います。

It was a very enjoyable experience.
Starting with a thorough explanation, I had a lot of fun taking many photos.
By the way, I’m glad I met the guide, Yuma.

とても楽しい体験でした。
丁寧な説明からはじめ、写真もたくさん撮って頂いてとても楽しかったです。
ちなみにガイドゆうまさんに出会えてよかったと思います。

I only went snorkeling and didn't participate in any optional tours, but miraculously, a very large sea turtle swam right up to the boat. It was easy to see from the boat, so I quickly jumped into the water and waved at the turtle, which swam over to me. It was a very friendly turtle, and I was able to gently touch it! I was moved by the colorful fish and the beautiful sea! The staff provided very careful and thorough support, so I felt safe in the water. Thank you so much! I made the best memories! ♪

シュノーケリングだけで、オプションツアーには参加しなかったのですが、奇跡的に、とっても大きなウミガメさんが船まで泳いで来てくれました。船から良く見えるので、直ぐに海に入りウミガメに手を振ると私の方へ泳いで来てくれる、とても人慣れたウミガメさん、そっと触れる事が出来ました！
色とりどりの魚達や綺麗な海に感動！
スタッフさんがとても丁寧に抜かりなくサポートしてくれるので、海でも安心でした。本当にありがとうございます！
最高の思い出が出来ました♪
