Although we couldn't go to the Blue Cave because the waves were high, we had a very enjoyable time. Despite being just the two of us, our guide took plenty of time with us, and we were very satisfied!

青の洞窟は波が高くていけませんでしたが
とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました(^^)二人だけの参加にもかかわらず、たっぷり時間をかけてガイドしていただき大満足です！

The trekking this time was uncertain due to heavy rain until the day before, and I wasn't sure if we could enter the mountain until we arrived at the site. By the way, entry was prohibited the day before. Feeling anxious, when we arrived, we were told it was okay to enter, and I couldn't help but do a fist pump. Our guide, Mr. Akuzawa, was incredibly knowledgeable, far beyond what you would expect from someone with only two years of guiding experience, and trekking while listening to his explanations about Yakushima made it twice or three times more enjoyable. I was also grateful that he took pictures of the two of us at key points. Having only climbed mountains around 400 meters before, the 1,400-meter elevation of the Taiko Rock course in Shiratani Unsuikyo was quite tough, but when I finally reached the top and saw a glimpse of clear skies, I truly felt the joy of trekking. I breathed in the fresh air at the summit, gazed at Mount Miyanoura in the distance, and absorbed the power of Yakushima as we began our descent. It took about three hours to go up and two hours to come back down, and looking back, it was quite hard, but I’m really glad I participated in this tour. I am grateful to Mr. Akuzawa for his support!

今回のトレッキングは、前日までの大雨もあり、現地に行かないと入山出来るかどうかわからない状態でした。ちなみに前日は入山禁止でした。不安を抱きながら現地に行くと、入山OKとの事で思わずガッツポーズが出ました。ガイドについてくれた阿久澤さんが、ガイド歴2年とは思えない程知識豊富な方で、屋久島の説明を聞きながらのトレッキングは2倍も3倍も楽しめました。又、要所要所で2人の写真を撮ってくれたのが有り難かったです。今まで400m程の山しか登った事がなかったので、白谷雲水峡の太鼓岩コースの標高1400mはかなりきつかったのですが、ようやく登り切り晴れ間ものぞいた時には、改めてトレッキングの良さを感じました。頂上で美味しい空気を沢山吸い、遠くに宮之浦岳をのぞみ、屋久島のパワーを沢山吸収して下山に向かいました。行きは3時間、帰りは2時間程かかり、振り返るとかなりハードでしたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。サポートしてくれた阿久澤さんに感謝しております！

I participated in the afternoon of the arrival day. The day before, I was informed that due to the weather, we might go to a different point other than Kerama, but fortunately, it was clear skies on the day! We were able to go to Kerama without any issues.

The wind was strong and the waves were high, so my friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, panicked and gave up... However, the staff on the boat kindly supported us without abandoning us. My friend, determined to participate since we were there, decided to try diving, and thanks to the kind Australian instructor, we were able to enjoy it and it became a great memory.

One thing I was a bit concerned about was that one instructor was conducting the briefing for a large group. It felt a bit overwhelming, and for those experiencing it for the first time, there were some uncertainties (like hand signals). Since there were several instructors, I thought it might be better to split into smaller groups so that participants could ask questions without hesitation about any points they were unsure of.

Anyway, thank you very much for all your help!

到着日の午後参加しました。前日に、天候によっては慶良間以外のポイントになるかもと連絡がありましたが、当日はラッキーなことに快晴！無事、慶良間へ行くことが出来ました。
風が強く、波が立っていたため、初めての連れがシュノーケリングでパニクってしまい、ギブアップ…そんな私達を見捨てずに、船上のスタッフが優しくフォローしてくれました。
せっかく参加したのだからと、意を決してダイビングに臨んだ連れでしたが、オーストラリア人の優しいインストラクターのお陰で楽しむことができ、良い思い出になりました。
少し気になったのは、大人数に対して、事前のブリーフィングを1人のインストラクターが行っていたことです。いろいろと詰め込みすぎていて、初めて体験する人達にとっては(ハンドシグナルなど)不安が残る内容だった気がします。インストラクターが何人かいらしたので、少人数毎に分けて行うなど、自信がない点は質問も気兼ねなくできる規模の方が良いのではないかと思いました。
ともあれ、大変お世話になり、ありがとうございました！

On the day of the tour, I wasn't feeling well in the morning, but I managed to hold on until noon and participated in a snorkeling tour from Tokyo to Naha with a friend. I come to Okinawa every year for snorkeling, so I was looking forward to it this year as well.

It was a large boat, and it took about 30 minutes to reach the Chibishi Islands. Perhaps the waves were high due to the typhoon?

It was a bit rocky, but we finally arrived at the snorkeling point. They provided us with wetsuits, which made swimming easy, and I was able to peek into the sea filled with many fish.

The guide, crew members, and staff were all very kind and friendly.

Due to fatigue and my condition, we only went snorkeling once, but those who were feeling energetic went for a second round and seemed to be having a great time.

I was also able to download photos taken with an underwater digital camera, thank you!

当日、朝から調子が悪かったのですがなんとなお昼には持ちこたえ、東京から那覇に行く当日のお昼のシュノーケリングツアーに、友人と参加しました。　毎年沖縄に来てシュノーケリングしているので、今年も楽しみに来ました。
大きな船でしたが、チービシ諸島まで約30分、台風後だったので波が高かったのでしょうか？

すこし揺れましたが、やっとポイントにつきました。ウェットスーツを貸していただけたので、泳ぐのもラクラク、沢山の魚のいる海を覗く事ができました。

ガイドの方も、船員の方もスタッフの方も、みんな優しく気さくに話しかけてくださいました。

疲れたのと体調もあり、私たちは1回のシュノーケリングであがりましたが、元気な方は2回目も行っていて、楽しんでいらっしゃいました(*^^*)

水中デジカメでの写真もダウンロードでき、ありがとうございました(*^^*)

I wanted to experience diving in Kerama, so I used this course that included lunch and transportation. There were many participants, but the itinerary and flow were well thought out. I didn't feel any waiting time, and everything was guided and prepared very smoothly.

We received a lecture on the boat and then moved to the diving spot, but depending on the weather, the boat can sway a lot, so it's essential for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication! (I thought I had brought it, but I forgot it at the hotel... crying. However, I was somehow okay, perhaps because I was healed by the beautiful view of Kerama! laughing)

After arriving at the spot, we started with snorkeling to get used to the sea. Then we moved on to the experience diving. The instructors were all great people! With their careful guidance, I was able to participate without any anxiety. I found a clownfish and thoroughly enjoyed diving in the beautiful sea.

At the second and third spots, we went snorkeling again. (You can also dive for an additional fee.) The most memorable part was swimming with sea turtles!!! I saw about 3 to 4 of them in close proximity! I think it's because the instructors are very familiar with the area.

I am grateful that I was able to have a trip that made me love Okinawa even more because I used this course. I am considering participating in a license acquisition course next time! Thank you for the wonderful memories!!

慶良間で体験ダイビングをしたくて、ランチや送迎付きのこちらのコースを利用しました。
参加者が多かったのですが、行程や流れがよく考えられているのでしょう。待ち時間などを感じることなく、とってもスムーズに案内・準備していただきました。
船上でレクチャーを受け、スポットへ移動するのですが、天候によっては船が大きく揺れることもあるので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必須です！
（私はきちんと持参！と思っていたら、ホテルに忘れました…泣
でも、慶良間の美しい眺めに癒やされたのか、何とか無事！笑）
スポットに到着後は海に慣れるためにシュノーケル。追って、体験ダイビングへと移ります。
インストラクターさんたち、皆さんいい人です！
丁寧な指導のもと、不安もなく取り組めました。カクレクマノミを見つけたり、美しい海でのダイビングを満喫しました。
2つ目・3つ目のスポットではシュノーケリングを。（追加料金でダイブもできます）
一番思い出に残ったのが、ウミガメと泳げたこと！！！近いエリアで3～4匹は見かけました！！インストラクターさんたちが現地を熟知されているからこそだな、と思います。
沖縄がもっと好きになる旅ができたのは、このコースを利用したからだな～と感謝しています。今度はライセンス取得コースも参加してみたいなと考えています！
素敵な思い出を、ありがとうございました！！

On August 25th, the final day of our five-day trip to Okinawa, we participated in a snorkeling tour.

"We're off!" "Oh! A sea turtle is coming!" We suddenly encountered the sea turtle, which was our main goal! Another one appeared, and it came up for air right next to us! They really know the hotspots, and we had an amazing time!

Here are some tips that might help you:
- It drizzled a bit in the morning, and the afternoon saw moderate rain with some wind. While we hardly noticed it during snorkeling, the boat was cold during transit, so I recommend wearing something warm.
- I forgot to bring motion sickness medication and ended up feeling nauseous... The boat does rock. Underwater, it’s easy-going. If you're prone to seasickness, don’t forget your medication!
- Luckily, we saw a sea turtle on our first dive, so a half-day tour might have been enough. The adults in their 40s and the elementary school kids were somewhat tired. For those who want to be active, I recommend the full-day course: first dive with the sea turtle, second with clownfish, and third with garden eels.
- The guide took plenty of photos, which can be downloaded later. It’s more than enough! If you're worried, just ask them to take pictures! I tried to take a photo of the sea turtle myself, but it didn’t go well… It’s better to just enjoy the experience!
- We held onto a round float with about five or six people, and each guide explained things while pulling us along, making it enjoyable to listen while having fun. They dove down to the bottom and brought up sea cucumbers and starfish, which the kids really enjoyed.

I plan to use this service again next time!

8月25日、5日間の沖縄旅行最終日、1日シュノーケリングに参加しました。
「それでは行きましょう」「あ！ウミガメ来てますよ！」と、一番の目的だったウミガメにいきなり遭遇！もう一匹現れたり、すぐそばに呼吸に上がってきたり！しっかり、出没ポイントをおさえてくれてるんでしょうね、大満喫できました！
以下、少しでも皆さんの参考になれば。
・当日午前は雨パラパラ、午後ほどほど本降り、風は少々。シュノーケリング中はほとんど気になりませんが、移動中の船は寒いので上下はおる物をおすすめします。
・うっかり酔い止めを忘れた結果…、酔いました。。。船上は揺れます。水中はラクちん(^^;;　船に弱い方はくれぐれもお忘れなく！
・運良く1本目でウミガメに会えたこともあり、半日ツアーでも良かったかなと。40代の大人と小学生はそこそこ疲れました。1本目：ウミガメ、2本目：クマノミ、3本目：チンアナゴと、アクティブに行きたい方は是非1日コースで。
・写真はガイドさんがたっぷり撮ってくれて、後日ダウンロードできます。十分です！心配なら「撮って！撮って！」とアピールすれば良いです(^^;;　自分でウミガメを撮影しようとしましたが上手くいかず…、そんなことよりたっぷり楽しんだ方がいいですよ～！
・丸いビート板みたいな物に5,6人でつかまって、それぞれガイドさんが付いて説明しながら引っ張ってくれるので、お話を聞きながら楽しめます。スイっと底まで潜って、ナマコやらヒトデやら捕まえて水上まで持ってきてくれるので、子供達もとても楽しめます。

またの機会にも利用させてもらおうと思いま～す(^o^)

The weather in Okinawa on the day was forecasted to be rainy and cloudy. When we departed from Naha, we could see rain clouds in the distance, and I was worried about whether the underwater scenery would be clear during the rain. However, as we approached the Kerama Islands, the sun peeked through, and we were able to see the beautiful Kerama Blue. We went snorkeling in two spots near Kuefu Island, and I was more impressed by the second spot in the shallows, where the fish and corals were much clearer and more vibrant. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles, but I heard that the full-day plan has a higher chance of seeing them. The staff was very kind, so I would like to participate in the full-day plan next time.

当日の沖縄の天気は雨と曇り予報、那覇を出発時には遠くに雨雲が浮かんでおり雨の時は水中が綺麗に見えるのか不安もありましたが、慶良間諸島に近づく内に晴れ間がのぞき、美しい慶良間ブルーを見る事ができました。シュノーケリングはクエフ島付近で2箇所行いましたが、1箇所目の深い所より2箇所目の浅瀬の所の方が魚や珊瑚達がより鮮明に見え余りの美しさに感動しました。残念ながら海ガメには遭遇できませんでしたが、一日プランの方が遭遇率が高いとの事、スタッフの方も大変親切でしたので、また次回は一日プランの方に参加したいと思いました。

At the start from the Arakawa Trailhead, the sky was drizzling, but as we continued walking, the rain intensified. By the time we reached Wilson Stump, it had started to rain heavily like a shower.

Still, we pressed on. After five hours of walking, we finally arrived at Jomon Sugi! I was deeply moved by the vitality of Jomon Sugi. If possible, I wanted to get closer and touch it directly.

The round trip trekking in the rain took 10 hours and was exhausting, but that’s what made it an unforgettable experience.

荒川登山口スタート時には、小雨だった空模様も歩き進むとともに激しくなり、ウィルソン切株に着いた頃には、シャワーのような雨が降り始めた。
それでも前進あるのみ。歩き始めて5時間、遂に縄文杉にたどり着いた！
縄文杉の生命力に大感動でした。
できることなら側に行って、直に触れてみたかった。
雨の中の往復10時間のトレッキングは、疲労困ぱいだったが、だからこそ忘れられない良い思い出となった。

I was looking forward to seeing Jomon Sugi, but due to heavy rain warnings, the mountain was closed. Guide Takami quickly arranged a half-day tour of the Western Forest Road for us. After driving along the World Heritage forest road, we were taken to a secret forest not mentioned in the guidebook. The untouched nature was lush, and we were able to see deer and monkeys up close, and I was overwhelmed by the gigantic banyan tree that I had never seen before. It's amazing to think that this is just one tree. The stories along the way were interesting, accurate, and I appreciate the attention to safety.

I would like to try to visit Jomon Sugi again next time.

楽しみにしていた縄文杉でしたが、大雨警報に伴い閉山に。
ガイドの高見さんには急遽半日の西部林道ツアーを組んでいただきました。
世界遺産の林道をドライブしたのち、ガイド本にも載っていない秘密の森に案内してもらいました。
手付かずの自然が生い茂っており、鹿や猿を間近に見ることができ、見たことのない巨大なガジュマルに圧倒されました。
写真のこれが一本の木のというから凄いです。
道中のお話も面白く、的確で、安全にも配慮してくださりありがとうございました。

今度また縄文杉にリベンジしたいと思います。

I participated because I wanted to snorkel in Kerama. I was ready to give up when I saw the wave height and weather the day before, so I was really happy when I received the notification that the tour was on!

It was a mixed group of diving and snorkeling, but the boat was large and there were no inconveniences. There were three snorkeling spots, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling until the very last moment in the water.

Our guide, Nakazawa, was really friendly and noticed that we were eager to get into the water. He let us go in while everyone else was taking a break, which was really nice of him. The pastries prepared on the boat after the first session were truly delicious! Since my mouth was salty, I was glad to have something sweet. I realized that having some snacks prepared is necessary.

The beautiful waters of Tokashiki and Zamami, which I had longed to see, were stunning, and I was very satisfied to encounter four sea turtles during the tour. I would love to participate again! Thank you so much!!

慶良間でシュノーケルしたくて参加しました。前日の波の高さや天気を見ていると中止だと諦めていたので、ツアー実施の連絡があったときは嬉しかったです！
ダイビング、シュノーケルの混合乗合いでしたが船も大きく不便さはありませんでした。ポイントも3ヵ所あって、海に入れる時間いっぱいまでシュノーケルを楽しめました。
ガイドのなかざわさんが私たちが海に入りたくてたまらないのを察知して、皆さんが休憩してる時に、海に入れてくれたり本当に気さくないい方でした。1本目終わって船に用意されてたパイのみのお菓子が本当に美味しかったです！口がしょっぱかったので甘い物は嬉しかったです。ちょっとしたお菓子の用意は必要だと実感しました。
念願の渡嘉敷、座間味の海はとても綺麗でウミガメも４匹出会えとても満足したツアーでした。また参加したいです！ありがとうございましたー！！

I went snorkeling for the first time in the Blue Cave of Okinawa! I was impressed by the beautiful, mystical blue sea, but it was crowded, and even though I took motion sickness medicine for the boat ride, I still got seasick, which was disappointing for me. Also, the photo of the three of us holding hands was lovely!

初めてシュノーケルを
沖縄の青の洞窟でしました！
とても綺麗な神秘的なブルーの海に感動しましたが、人が多いのと、船でその場所に行くのに
酔い止め飲んだけどやっぱり酔うので私には向かなかったのが残念でした
後、写真は3人で手を繋いで映ったのが素敵でした！

This was my second snorkeling experience on my trip to Okinawa after a year. Last time, I only enjoyed the scenery while snorkeling in the Blue Cave, but this time the views and the sea were beautiful, and there were many fish and stunning coral reefs. The seabed was deep, and I saw fluorescent-colored fish and rainbow-like fish, making it so enjoyable that I forgot my fatigue. I heard that if you're lucky, you might see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, I didn't see one... However, I did spot one while moving between locations.

Some might think that 20 minutes by boat is a long time, but the staff took great care of our well-being, and many of them had a great sense of fun, making the time very fulfilling. As for the photos, the staff had a fisheye camera and took pictures underwater, which you can download for free, making it a great deal. We brought both a GoPro and an iPhone to take pictures underwater, but the staff's photos turned out beautifully, making it even more enjoyable to look back on them. If I have the chance to go again next year, I definitely want to ask Seesaa for help! Thank you very much.

一年ぶり2回目の沖縄旅行でシュノーケリングも2回目でした。前回は青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングで景色を眺めるだけでしたが、今回は景色も海も綺麗でまた、魚もたくさんいてサンゴ礁も綺麗でした。海底は深くそして魚は蛍光の色した魚や、虹色のような魚もいて疲れを忘れるくらい楽しかったです。運が良ければウミガメを観れるとのことでしたが残念ながら見れませんでした…しかし花の移動中に目撃できました。
船で20分…と思う方もおられるかもしれませんが、スタッフの体調のケアも手厚くかつノリの
いいスタッフが多くて充実していたじかんでした。肝心の写真ですが、スタッフが魚眼の写真を持っていて水中などで写真を撮ってくれるしまたその写真を無料でダウンロードできるのでお得ですよ。私たちはゴープロのiPhoneの２つ持って水中でとっていましたがスタッフさんのもとても綺麗に写るのでとても見返して楽しいの実感が更に湧きました。来年も行く機会があるなら是非シーサーさんにお願いしようと思いました！ありがとうございました。

My spouse and I participated in our first diving tour while visiting Okinawa! Unfortunately, due to the impact of a typhoon just before our trip, we couldn't dive in Kerama. However, we were informed the day before that we might not be able to go to Kerama, and they made sure to confirm whether we still wanted to participate, which made us feel reassured.

On the day of the tour, despite the slightly bad weather, we started diving and snorkeling! The instructors explained how to use the equipment, swim, and the underwater signals in a way that was easy for beginners to understand, allowing us to truly enjoy the diving experience. Each group had a dedicated instructor who took us into the water, so we could enjoy diving at our own level! There was plenty of time for snorkeling, and it was nice that we could rest on the boat when we got tired, giving us a relatively free experience.

However, due to the poor weather, the visibility wasn't very good, and despite having many photos taken, it was disappointing that only a few were uploaded...

I would love to try again in Kerama the next time I visit Okinawa! Thank you!

夫婦で沖縄に行くにあたり、初のダイビングツアーに参加しました！
直前の台風の影響もあり、慶良間でのダイビングは残念ながらできず、、、。
しかし、前日に慶良間には行けないかもしれないという説明があり、
それでも参加するかどうか意思確認をきちんとしてくださったので、安心してお任せすることができました。

そして当日、少し天気が悪い中、ダイビング&シュノーケリングスタート！
初心者にもわかりやすく、丁寧に器具の使い方や泳ぎ方、海中でのサインを教えてくださったので、
ダイビングをしっかりと楽しめました。
それぞれのグループに個別にインストラクターの方がつき、海中に連れて行ってくれたので、
自分たちのレベルに合わせてダイビングを楽しむことができました！
シュノーケリングの時間もたっぷりあり、疲れたら船で休めたりと、比較的自由に過ごせたのが良かったです。

ただお天気が悪かったせいか、あまり透明度が高くなかったことと、
たくさん写真を撮って頂いたにもかかわらず、結果アップロードされた写真が少なかったことが残念ですが・・・(^^;

また沖縄に行った際は、慶良間に再チャレンジしたいです！
ありがとうございました！

I stayed at a hotel in Naha City, so the free shuttle service was very helpful! During snorkeling, the guide brought up sea cucumbers and starfish from the ocean floor, allowing us to interact with creatures we normally wouldn't get to touch. The guide also explained the fish we were swimming with and took care to check on our well-being, making it a very enjoyable and reassuring experience. It was my first time snorkeling, and it became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

那覇市内のホテルに宿泊していたため、無料で送迎をしていたただきとても助かりました！
シュノーケリングの際は、担当のガイドさんがナマコやヒトデを海の底から取ってきてくれたので普段は触れ合えない生き物と関わることができました。また、ガイドさんが泳いでいる魚達の説明をしてくれたり、私たち参加者の体調を気にかけてくれたりしてくれたのでとても楽しく、安心して参加することができました。
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

The day before, I received a message that the waves were high and there was a possibility of cancellation, and since the weather forecast showed rain, I was worried. However, on the day of the tour, the sky was clear, and I was able to participate without any issues.

The sea was a stunning Kerama Blue with an unexpectedly high level of transparency, and I was constantly amazed by the beautiful corals and fish. When I signed up, I thought a half-day would be enough, but by the time we returned to port, I wanted to keep swimming! I felt that I wanted to join a full-day tour next time! It was a wonderful experience. They also took photos, which became very good memories.

前日波が高く、もしかしたら中止になるかもしれないと連絡を頂き、天気予報も雨マークだったため心配していましたが、当日は青空が広がり、無事参加することが出来ました。
想像以上に透明度の高いケラマブルーの海、綺麗な珊瑚や魚たちに感動しっぱなしでした。
申し込みの際は、半日でも十分だろうと思っていましたが、帰港する頃には、まだまだ泳ぎたい！次は一日ツアーで参加したい！と思う程、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
写真も撮って頂き、とても良い思い出になりました。

We participated in snorkeling as a family. Aside from the boat rocking due to the typhoon (I didn't get seasick) and not being able to see any sea turtles (which was disappointing), it was a fantastic tour!

The snorkeling instructor, Yukiora, provided clear and interesting explanations about the fish, corals, and the islands. The children were delighted to hold sea cucumbers and starfish.

When the sunlight came through, the Kerama Blue and the clarity of the sea were particularly enhanced, and I was overwhelmed by its beauty. It was truly moving!

The Lucky boat we boarded was clean, with changing rooms, showers, and restrooms. They provided drinks (tea, coffee, water), lunch boxes, miso soup, and bath towels, and with hotel pick-up, I was able to participate with minimal luggage and a relaxed mindset. The staff were also quick and kind.

If I have another opportunity, I would like to rely on this shop again.

　家族でシュノーケルに参加しました。台風の影響で、移動の船が揺れた事(酔いはしなかったです)とウミガメに会えなかった(残念)こと以外は、大満足のツアーでした‼
　シュノーケルは、をインストラクターの雪浦さんが魚やサンゴや島の説明を分かりやすく興味深くガイドしてくれました。子供にナマコ、ヒトデを持たせてくれて喜んでいました。
　太陽の光が差し込むと、慶良間ブルーと海の透明度がひときわに増し、その美しさに圧倒されました。大感動しました‼
　乗船したラッキー号は、更衣室、シャワー室、トイレと清潔でした。飲み物（茶・コーヒー・水）とお弁当、みそ汁とバスタオルまで用意されホテル送迎もあり、持参する荷物も少なくて気楽な気持ちで参加出来ました。スタッフの方々もテキパキとされて親切でした。
　また機会がありましたら、こちらのショップでお世話になりたいと思います。

I was worried about the weather, but there were clear skies and the ocean was truly beautiful!!!! It took about an hour to reach the Kerama Islands, and I was concerned about seasickness due to the rocking of the boat, but I was fine as long as I lay down on the upper deck. I had planned for one dive, but it was so much fun that I ended up doing three dives. Each dive site had its own unique beauty. I was also happy to see a sea turtle. The staff were very kind and took many photos for us. It had been a while since my last dive, but I was able to dive with peace of mind! Thank you for the wonderful time! It was a tour that made me want to participate again!

天気が心配でしたが晴れ間も見えて海の中は本当に綺麗でした!!!!
慶良間諸島まで1時間くらいかかり、揺れるため船酔いが心配でしたが上のデッキで横になっていれば大丈夫でした。
1ダイブの予定でしたが楽し過ぎて3ダイブさせてもらいました。それぞれポイントが違うので違う綺麗さがありました。ウミガメも見ることができて嬉しいかったです。スタッフさんもとても親切でたくさん写真を撮って頂き、久しぶりのダイビングでしたが安心してダイビングすることができました！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！
また参加したいと思えるツアーでした！

I could see the Milky Way and some stars, but I wish I could have gone further out to a place where the light from the land wouldn't reach, or at least to a spot with less light pollution.

天の川も見えて、それなりに星は見えたのですが、もっと沖に出て陸地の光が届かないところまでとはいかなくても、もっと影響が少ないところまで出て欲しかったな、という感じです。

We were supposed to participate with four people, but one person couldn't make it, so we joined with three.
The sea in Okinawa is so beautiful and full of tropical fish—it's absolutely amazing!
One friend who got seasick needed care, and we are very grateful to Jin, our guide.
Jin is from Korea, but speaks Japanese very well and is super cute.
Our friend in need of care expressed gratitude for the kindness shown, so thank you very much!
All the staff were friendly, and we had a great time (σ≧▽≦)σ.
Next time, we want to join as a group of four, including the friend who couldn't come.
We look forward to it again!＼(^o^)／

本当は4人で参加するはずでしたが、１人来れなくて3人での参加になりました
沖縄の海！とってもキレイで熱帯魚満載めっちゃサイコーです
１人船酔いで介護状態の友達が、担当のJinさんに大変お世話になりました
Jinさん韓国の方ですが、とても日本語上手で、すっごく可愛いんです
介護状態の友達が感謝してました、優しくしてもらって、本当にありがとうございました
スタッフのみなさんみんな親切で楽しい時間を過ごせました(σ≧▽≦)σ
今度はベストな状態で、来られなかった友達も一緒に4人で参加したいと思います
また、よろしくお願いしまーす＼(^o^)／

This was my first time participating in this tour. The day before, I received a message saying that there might be cancellations due to bad weather, but the weather was fantastic, the waves were calm, and the sea was beautiful—it was the best!

We participated as a group of three. One person couldn't swim and was feeling seasick, but our guide, Jin, took great care of us, allowing the other two of us to fully enjoy the experience. I thought my friend in a caregiving state would say they never wanted to do this again, but they exclaimed that they had never seen such a beautiful sea and fish! They said they want to participate properly next time after taking seasickness medication.

Jin and all the staff were very kind and taught us with great care. I think even first-timers can participate with peace of mind! However, even if you think you'll be fine, let's not forget to take seasickness medication. I will definitely go again!

今回初めてこのツアーに参加しました
前日、悪天候による当日キャンセルもあるかもしれませんという連絡をいただいてましたが、とてもいい天気で波もなく海もキレイでサイコーでした！
3人で参加しました。１人泳げない上に船酔いで介護状態でしたが、担当のJinさんにとても良くしていただき私達2人はとても満喫することができました
介護状態の友達も、もぅ二度と嫌って言われるのかと思ったら、あんなキレイな海と魚見たことない！って、今度はちゃんと酔い止め飲んでベストで参加したいと言ってくれました
Jinさんはじめスタッフみなさんとても優しくて丁寧に教えていただきました
初めての方も安心して参加していただけると思います！
でも、大丈夫と思っても酔い止めは忘れずに飲みましょーねー
また絶対行きます＼(^o^)／

The guide provided explanations at key points while also taking breaks, which made it more enjoyable than just walking silently. The only difficulty was that the walking speed was fast.

ガイドさんが休憩を兼ねて要所要所で説明してくれるので、黙々と歩くより楽しかったです。歩くスピードが速かったのが、唯一の難でした。

The stargazing tour in Ishigaki Island was amazing. The weather was great, and we could see the Milky Way clearly, along with many shooting stars. I want to participate again.

石垣島での星空観賞ツアー、最高でした
天気も良く、天の川もはっきり見れて、流れ星もたくさん見れました。
また参加したいです。

It was my first time snorkeling, but the instructor was very interesting, so I was able to relax and enjoy it without feeling nervous. ✨
I wore a swimsuit under the wetsuit.
It's also possible to swim in just a swimsuit!
I was worried about getting seasick, but I was fine!
They took us to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and miraculously, I was able to see two of them! ✨

When I come to Okinawa again, I would like to use this service again. Thank you!‍♀️

はじめてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とても面白いインストラクターさんだったので、緊張せずにリラックスして挑めました✨
ウエットスーツの下に水着を着用しました。
水着だけで泳ぐことも可能です！
船酔いするか心配でしたが、大丈夫でした！
ウミガメが見られるスポットまで連れて行っていただき、奇跡的に2匹も見ることができました！✨

沖縄へ来た時は、また利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました‍♀️

My first time in Okinawa, and since I'm going to Okinawa, I wanted to do something that can only be done there... so I thought I’d like to swim with sea turtles! That's why I chose this tour.

We visited three points by boat: one diving point and two snorkeling points. (It’s also possible to dive at all points for an additional fee.) The waters around Kerama were endlessly blue, and once I entered the sea, the clarity was such that I could see all the way to the seabed.

Since it was my first time diving, I was really nervous, but the cheerful staff and the great atmosphere on the boat quickly turned my nerves into excitement. I really wanted to see a sea turtle, and when I expressed my desire to meet one, the staff took us to a spot where sea turtles were known to be, and I was the first to see one.

As soon as I entered the water, there was a sea turtle right in front of me. It had such a cute face, and I was able to swim alongside it at a distance where I could almost reach out and touch it. I was feeling seasick and dizzy before getting into the water, but the moment I saw that adorable sea turtle, all of that disappeared.

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. Even though I was feeling exhausted on the boat, once it was over, all I had were fun memories, and I want to go back to that sea to see the sea turtles again as soon as possible. It became the best memory of my trip. Thank you very much.

Even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt sick, so I think it would be best for those who are prone to motion sickness to lie down at the back of the boat until we reach the points.

初めての沖縄、沖縄に行くのだから沖縄でしかできないことを….それならウミガメと泳ぎたい！と思いこのツアーを選びました。
ダイビング1ポイント、シュノーケリング2ポイントの計3ポイントを船で回遊します。(プラス料金で全てのポイントでダイビングすることも可能です。)
慶良間の海はどこまでも青く、海の中に入ると、海底まで見渡せる程の透明度でした。
ダイビングは初めてなので、すごく緊張しましたが、明るいスタッフさんに、とても良い雰囲気の船で、緊張はすぐにわくわくに変わりました。
どうしてもウミガメに会いたくて、ウミガメに会いたい！とアピールしたら、スタッフさんがウミガメのいるポイントを回って下さり、1番にウミガメに会わせてくれました。
海に入ってすぐに目の前にウミガメが。
とっても可愛い顔をしていて、手を伸ばせば触れられそうな距離で一緒に泳ぐことができました。
船酔いがつらく、海に入るまではふらふらでしたが、可愛いウミガメを見た瞬間、そんなことはどこかへ吹き飛びました。
とても素晴らしい体験でした。
今でも忘れられません。
船の上では、ずっとぐったりしてたのですが、終わってみたら楽しい思い出ばかりが残っていて、すぐにでももう一度あの海へウミガメに会いに行きたいと思います。
私の今回の旅行で1番の思い出となりました。
有難うございました。
酔い止めを飲んでいても酔ってしまったので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は、ポイントに着くまで船尾で寝ているのがいいと思います。

I participated in the snorkeling tour. We formed groups, and each group had one staff member assigned to it. This might be good for beginners. Although the snorkeling lasted for a few hours, we only went to one spot. We kept going in circles at the same location for hours, which got boring quickly. It was my first time experiencing a tour that didn't move for about two hours. Honestly, even the beginners seemed to get bored. There were showers and towels provided, and the staff were decent. That’s about it. I believe we could have visited two more spots. It was disappointing.

シュノーケルで参加しました。グループを組み1組に1人スタッフが付いてくれます。初心者にはいいかもしれません。数時間あるシュノーケルですがポイントは1箇所だけ。数時間も同じ場所をくるくる。すぐき飽きてしまいました。2時間くらいあるのに移動しないなんて初めてでした。正直、初心者の人でも飽きた様子でした。シャワーとタオルがついてる、スタッフの人がまぁまぁいい人。それくらいです。あとポイント2箇所くらいはまわれるはず。残念でした。

On September 3rd, I participated in diving and snorkeling for the first time, and it was a beautiful day. They picked me up at the hotel, and once we arrived, we fitted our suits and fins before boarding the boat. Before departure, the Japanese participants gathered for a briefing on safety precautions. We practiced using the masks and breathing techniques, which made me feel very secure as a first-timer.

Then we set sail! It was quite rocky, possibly due to the typhoon. I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt seasick. I was very grateful for the kind assistance I received.

Upon arrival, we started with snorkeling. Despite feeling seasick, once I got into the water, I became completely absorbed in the underwater world. Next, we prepared for diving, and I was surprised by the weight of the equipment as I entered the water. Since it was my first experience, I got confused about how to breathe, but the instructor kindly provided one-on-one assistance, which was a great help. We descended slowly and were guided to see clownfish, and they took many photos of us. I was amazed by the beautiful sea.

After that, we took a break at the second point and did snorkeling again at the third point. Then, we showered, changed, and returned to the harbor. I was very glad to have participated this time. Although I struggled with severe seasickness, I would like to join again. I apologize to the staff for any worry or trouble I caused. Next time, I will make sure to take proper measures against motion sickness.

I want to see sea turtles next time!

今回、9月3日に初めてダイビングとシュノーケルに参加、当日はとても天気のいい日でした。
ホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、着いたらスーツと足のヒレのサイズ合わせをし船に乗船しました。出航前に日本人の参加者で集まり注意事項などの説明がありました。マスクや呼吸の仕方などの練習もしていただき初めての参加でも、とても安心出来ました。
その後、出航！台風の影響かとても揺れてました。私は酔い止めを飲んでいましたが船酔いをしてしまいましたがとても親切に対応していただきありがたかったです。
そして到着！まずはシュノーケル。船酔いはあったものの海に入ってしまったらすっかり海の中に夢中になってしまっていました。次にダイビングの準備をして思った以上の重さに驚きつつも海に入りました。私は初めてと体験のため呼吸の仕方がわからなくなってしまっていた為、インストラクターの方が2人に1人のだったのをマンツーマンにしてもらい助かりました。ゆっくりと潜っていきカクレクマノミのいるところに案内してくれたり写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。とてもキレイな海に感激でした。その後、2つ目のポイントでは休憩し、3つ目のポイントで再度シュノーケルをしました。それから、シャワー浴びて着替えて帰港しました。今回、参加できてとても良かったです。私は船酔いがひどく、大変な面もありましたが、また参加したいと思いました。スタッフの方々にはご心配、ご迷惑おかけしてすみませんでした。次に参加する時は、酔い止め対策をがっつりして来たいと思います。
次はウミガメにも会いたい！

On the first day of the trip, it was cloudy and the stars were not visible, so the event was canceled with the announcement, "It doesn't seem like we'll be able to see anything if we wait like this." They provided some explanations along the way, but they refunded the full amount. The next day, the weather looked promising, so I signed up again! The weather held up until the evening, and I was able to see the Milky Way! My husband loves stars, but I'm not very knowledgeable about them, so I was a bit anxious. However, they used a laser to explain the stars, which made it easy to understand! I saw Saturn through a telescope for the first time, and it was very moving!

旅行の1日目は曇で星が見えず「このまま待っていても見えそうに無いので」という案内で中止になってしまいました。途中まで説明もしてくれたけれど全額返金してくれました。
翌日、天気が良さそうだったので再度申し込みをしました！夜まで天気がもってくれて天の川も見れました！主人が星が好きですが私は詳しくないので、どうなのか不安もありましたがレーザーを使って星の説明をしてくれたので分かりやすかったです！初めて望遠鏡で土星をみましたがとても感動しました！

Since it was forecasted to rain that day, I was worried about whether I could enjoy the Tokashiki Island tour, so I called to inquire. They were very kind and helpful, and I decided to go for it. On the day of the tour, it took 50 minutes by boat from Naha, and when we arrived, we were surprised to see clear skies. After renting snorkeling gear and entering the water, we encountered a sea turtle within just five minutes! Tokashiku Beach seems to be a great spot for seeing sea turtles, and the local staff kindly pointed out areas where we could find them, allowing us to see three turtles! I was torn between Tokashiku Beach and Aharen Beach, but Tokashiku Beach had fewer people, so we could relax and enjoy our time. I'm really glad I went! The members who joined me are also talking about wanting to go again. I would love to participate again the next time I visit Okinawa. Thank you very much!

当日雨予報だったので、渡嘉敷島ツアーに参加しても楽しめるのか心配になり、電話で問い合わせをしました。とても親切に案内していただき、一か八かで参加。当日那覇から船で50分、到着したらまさかの晴れ間が見え、シュノーケルグッズをレンタルし、海に入ると開始5分で海ガメに遭遇しました！とかしくビーチは海ガメに遭遇しやすいビーチみたいで現地のスタッフさんにも丁寧にいそうな場所を教えて頂き3匹も見る事が出来ました！阿波連ビーチと悩みましたが、とかしくビーチは人も少なく、のんびりと過ごせました。本当に行って良かったです！一緒に行ったメンバーも、また行きたいねと話してます。次回沖縄に行った際はまた参加させてもらいたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

During my 3-night, 4-day trip to Yakushima, I had planned to visit Jomon Sugi on the second day, but due to a typhoon, the bus to the trailhead was not running, so it was postponed to the third day. On the day of the hike, the weather was perfect for trekking—cool and without rain. I thought the trail would be crowded with others who had postponed, but surprisingly, it was quite empty. The wait for the restroom was only about ten minutes at most, and I was able to take plenty of photos of both Wilson's stump and Jomon Sugi.

The day before, during a confirmation call from the tour company, I was unsure about what to wear, so I received advice based on real experiences, which helped me decide. On the morning of the hike, the guide picked me up at the guesthouse, and we switched to the tour company's bus to head to the trailhead (initially it was supposed to be a shuttle bus). While waiting for that bus in the dark parking lot, I was lucky to see a sky full of stars.

The path was easy to walk on since the entire trolley road has been made into a walkway (it seems they advanced the budget), and the latter part of the mountain trail had surprisingly few steep sections that would leave you breathless. With enough time, anyone can make it.

However, the key point is "if you take this much time."
1. Including breaks, it's nearly a five-hour one-way trip, and since the trolley road and wooded areas make it hard to gauge progress, if you go alone for the first time, you might not know how much longer you have to walk, which could be discouraging. With a guide, you get detailed updates on how much longer until the next point, and they engage you in conversation, which helps keep your spirits up.
2. You need to make sure you catch the return bus, so for beginners, both the ascent and descent require brisk walking (except for the steep parts). Our group (in our 20s and 30s) was the slowest among those from the same tour company, but we managed to stay within the expected time frame, enjoying breaks, photo opportunities (the photo spots were perfect! They even took panoramic shots for us), sightseeing, and icing in the river, allowing us to savor plenty of enjoyment beyond just walking.

Thank you, guide Yokota.

By the way, while some people have encountered unfortunate guides from this tour company, the guides on the same bus seemed to be good people. Most of them are probably great guides. It really comes down to luck.

3泊4日屋久島旅行のうち、2日目に縄文杉に行く予定でしたが、台風で登山口までバスが運行せず、3日目に延期になりました。
当日は、涼しく&雨も降らない絶好のトレッキング日和でした。
延期した人が集中するかと思ったら、意外と空いてて、トイレも長くて１０分程度の待ち時間ですし、ウィルソン株も縄文杉も心ゆくまで写真撮れました。

前日、ツアー会社の方からの確認電話の際に、服装で迷ったので、実体験を元にアドバイスをもらい決めました。
当日朝、ガイドさんが民宿まで迎えに来て、ツアー会社のバスに乗り換え登山口まで行きました（当初はシャトルバス）。そのバスを待ってる間、真っ暗な駐車場にいたので、満天の星空が見られたのはラッキーでした。
道のりは、トロッコ道の全部に歩道できている（予算前倒ししたらしい）ので歩きやすく、後半の山道も、息を切らすような急な道は案外少なく、時間をかければ、誰でも行けます。

ただ、「この時間をかければ」がポイントで、
１.休憩含め片道５時間近くある&トロッコ道と木の中ばかりで進捗がわからないので、1人で初めて行くと、いつまで歩けばいいか分からず、きっと気持ちが折れます…。
ガイドさんがいると、細かに次のポイントまで後どのくらいか教えてくれるし、ところどころ話をしてくれるので、気持ちを保つことができます。
２.帰りのバスに間に合わないといけないので、素人からすると、登り降り共に早歩きです（急なところを除く）。
ガイドさんは、同じ旅行社の中で私どものグループ（２０〜３０代）が一番遅かったのですが、想定時間内で、休憩や写真撮影（写真ポイントもバッチリ！パノラマで写真撮ってくれます。）、鑑賞、川でのアイシングと、歩き以外の楽しみをたっぷり味あわせてくれました。

ガイドの横田さん、ありがとうございました。

なお、この旅行社で、残念なガイドさんに当たった方いらっしゃいましたが、同じバスに乗ったガイドさんたちは皆良い人そうでした。たぶんほとんどはいいガイドさんです。こればかりは運ですね。

I participated in the tour on August 28. On the day of the tour, the weather in Okinawa was unfortunately bad, and I was worried about whether we could enjoy snorkeling. However, after about a 20-minute boat ride, the weather suddenly cleared up, and the sea, which had been green, turned a beautiful, transparent blue.

We snorkeled for about an hour, and since we took a break in between, it was comfortable and not tiring at all. The snorkeling spot was rich in various types of fish, and the coral reefs were beautiful, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling without getting bored.

I didn't experience any seasickness, and I was able to fully enjoy the tour. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity.

8/28日のツアーに参加させていただきました。
ツアー当日、沖縄本島はあいにくの悪天候でシュノーケリングを楽しめるかどうか不安でしたが、船に乗って移動すること約20分、天気は一転して晴れ、それまで緑色だった海も一気に真っ青に透き通った色になりました。
シュノーケリングは約1時間、途中で休憩を一回挟んだため疲れることもなく快適にシュノーケリングが行えました。
シュノーケリングを行ったスポットは魚の種類が豊富であり、またサンゴ礁も綺麗だったため飽きることなくシュノーケリングを楽しめることができました。
心配だった船酔いもなく、存分にツアーを満喫することができました。
機会があればまた参加したいと思いました。
