All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

My wife and I participated in a sea turtle exploration snorkeling tour. The weather was rainy, but the water was very clear and beautiful. We were able to encounter sea turtles, which made for a very precious experience and memory. We are grateful to the kind staff.
☆ The female staff were beautiful!!

妻と2人で海亀探索シュノーケルに参加させて頂きました。天候が大雨でしたが、海の中はとても透き通った綺麗な海でした。海亀にも出会うことが出来て、とても貴重な時間と思い出になり親切なスタッフ一同に感謝しています。
☆女性スタッフが美人でした‼️

Kayaking while observing mangroves and wildlife from the water was the best activity that allowed me to feel a sense of the extraordinary and immerse myself in nature! The guide was kind and taught us how to paddle the kayak, and also shared various information about Okinawa's vegetation, making it enjoyable to learn about Okinawa's nature while kayaking!

カヤックを漕ぎながら、水上からマングローブや生物を見ることができ、非日常かつ自然をたっぷり感じれる最高のアクティビティでした！ガイドの方が優しくカヤックの漕ぎ方を教えてくれますし、沖縄の植生物についてもいろいろ教えてくれるので楽しくカヤックを漕ぎながら沖縄の自然を知ることができますよ！

Thank you for allowing me to experience diving in the best spots despite the bad weather during the rainy season. Since it had been a while since my last dive, I appreciated the updates on equipment usage and knowledge. The instructor, who was both strong and graceful while swimming, was ideal, taking care of my nervousness on the day. It was reassuring to have a pickup service to the hotel, and I was delighted when the captain took us on a leisurely tour of recommended spots visible from the sea on the way back. The views were breathtaking, and I wish I had brought my smartphone on board (though it's important to take responsibility for the risk of getting it wet or losing it).

梅雨の悪天候の中、最高の場所を見極めてのダイビングを体験させていただき、ありがとうございました。
久しぶりにダイビングを体験する私に対して、機材の使い方や、知識をアップデートさせていただきました。
当日慌てる私の面倒を見ながら、時にしっかり強く、優雅に泳げるインストラクターさんが理想の泳ぎ方でした。
ホテルまでピックアップあり安心、船の帰りしなに船長さんが、海上から見えるオススメスポットを船でゆっくり回ってくださったのも嬉しい出来事でした。絶景で、スマホを船内に持っていけばよかったです。(濡れる可能性や失くす可能性は自己責任、しっかり対策を)

First of all, I would like to thank all the instructors for this experience. They provided guidance in a very polite and approachable manner, creating a friendly atmosphere throughout. Although we had a guided tour in the rain, I felt that they offered a unique enjoyment and appreciation of nature that can only be found here. Approaching 50 years old, I was able to encounter one of my dreams since elementary school: the Yaeyama mangrove butterfly in Iriomote Island! I was truly very satisfied.

まずはインストラクターの方々皆さんこの度はありがとうございました。
丁寧かつフラットな感じで、終始とても接しやすい雰囲気で案内して頂きました。
雨の中のガイドではありましたが、雨ならではの楽しみ方、自然の感じ方等、ここにしか無い最大限の楽しさを提供して頂いたのではと感じております。
50歳手前にして小学生からの夢の一つ、西表島のヤエヤマヒルギシジミとも出逢えました！
本当に大満足でした

The water is beautiful and truly healing! Kaori's guidance was excellent and I had a great time. Next time, I will definitely try again on a sunny day.

水もきれいでほんとうに癒される！カオリさんの案内も最高で楽しかったです
次はぜひ晴れた日に再チャレンジします

I'm not very good at swimming, but I felt safe and enjoyed myself because the guide closely monitored our group, and wearing a wetsuit helped me float well. We went snorkeling at three different locations, and I could choose from three types of lunch boxes. They also provided towels, making it really easy to have fun. They took a lot of photos, which became great memories. I highly recommend this tour.

泳ぐのが得意じゃないのですが、グループでガイドの方が良く監視してくれるのと、ウエットスーツ着用で身体が良く浮くの安心して楽しめました。3つの場所でシュノーケリングをして、お弁当も3種類から選べるし、タオルも貸してくださったので、本当に気軽に楽しめました。写真も沢山撮ってくれて、良い思い出になりました。このツアーはおすすめです。

The tour was filled with anxiety from start to finish. After being picked up at the hotel, we signed in at the office counter. We were instructed to wait nearby, but no one provided any guidance. Around us, foreign guests were happily choosing wetsuits with the staff, while we felt completely left out. A staff member happened to notice us and helped us select and change into our wetsuits. However, there was still no explanation about what to expect next, how long we would wait, or what we should do. Even when we wanted to ask questions, the staff seemed to be absent, making it difficult to get information. Suddenly, we were told by another staff member to get on the bus outside, so we just went along with it. Surrounded by foreign guests, we felt quite anxious.

Once on board, they did provide a brief explanation of how to snorkel. However, when it came time to enter the water, there was no instruction on how to get in or how to breathe; we were just expected to jump in. I had to figure out how to breathe through my mouth on my own. They took a couple of photos when we first entered the water, but after that, they focused solely on taking pictures of the fish, and we didn’t get many photos of ourselves. The underwater scenery was truly beautiful, and we even encountered a sea turtle. I think it’s worth trying at least once.

The environment was quite challenging for snorkeling beginners, and it seems better suited for those who are experienced or who don’t mind the staff's casual attitude. I wouldn’t recommend this tour for those looking for a more attentive and guided experience.

ずっと不安なまま進むツアーだった。
ホテルでピックアップしていただいた後、事務所のカウンターでサインをして受付。近くで待つよう指示されたが、誰も何も案内してくれない。周りでは外国の方々が外国のスタッフさんと和気藹々とウェットスーツを選んでおり、完全に置いて行かれている感。偶々通りかかったスタッフさんが私達の存在に気づき、何とかウェットスーツ選びと着替えを行った。その後も何も説明がなく、どこでどれくらい待つのか次に何をすれば良いのか何もわからない。聞きたくてもスタッフさんが何故かその辺に留まっておらず、聞けない。するとまた突然スタッフさんに外にあるバスに乗るよう言われ、とりあえず乗る。周りは外国の方だらけでとにかく不安。
乗船後は一応シュノーケリングのやり方は一通り説明してくれる。しかし実際に海に入る時には、入水方法や呼吸の仕方等何もレクチャーしてくれず、とりあえず海に入ってみる方式。何とか口呼吸の方法を自力でやってコツを掴むしかなった。写真は入水した時にとりあえず1、2枚程度撮ってくれたが、その後はずっと魚を撮っているだけで、私達の写真は特に撮ってはくれなかった。海の中は本当に綺麗で、ウミガメにも会えた。一度やってみる価値はあると思う。
終始シュノーケリング初心者には厳しい環境で、経験者、スタッフさんの陽気さや適当さが気にならない人向きだと思う。
丁寧に案内してくれるツアーを求めている人には、おすすめできない。

Unfortunately, the waves were too high, so we couldn't go to the Pumpkin Cave, but we still had a great time snorkeling! The ocean was so beautiful, and I was amazed to see clownfish and many other fish! Our guide was kind and fun, making it a really wonderful memory! Next time, I want to take revenge on the Pumpkin Cave!

残念ながら波が高くてパンプキン鍾乳洞には行けませんでしたが、シュノーケリングだけでも十分楽しめました！海がとてもきれいで、カクレクマノミやたくさんの魚が見られて感動しました！ガイドさんも親切で楽しい方だったので、すごくいい思い出です！次回はパンプキン鍾乳洞リベンジしたいです！

It was my first time kayaking and snorkeling, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling experience. If I have the chance to go to Okinawa again, I would love to experience it once more!

初カヤック、シュノーケリングでしたがガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださり、とても充実した時間になりました。
また、沖縄に行く機会があれば体験したいです！

There was fog, but the sea was clear and not murky 🥰 The instructors were kind and taught us gently, so I felt at ease 👍 I will definitely ask for your services again when I go to Okinawa 🤲

霧がありましたが海は濁ってなくて綺麗でした🥰インストラクターの方達が親切で優しく教えてくれるので安心でした👍また沖縄に行く時はお願いします🤲

I experienced this on June 6, 2026.

It was my first time in Miyako Island, and I thought the tour would be canceled due to the forecast of heavy rain and strong winds. While the pumpkin cave tour was indeed canceled, I was informed that the sea turtle snorkeling would still take place.

When I arrived, it was pouring rain, and I was really worried about whether we could actually go snorkeling. However, the local guide said that rainy days are actually better for the tour, so I decided to participate.

To be honest, I was unsure if it would be okay, but the underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many sea turtles and colorful tropical fish very clearly. The local guide's explanations were thorough and very helpful! It wasn't hot at all, and in fact, there was no glare from the sunlight on the water's surface, which made it even better!

2026/6/6に体験。
初めての宮古島で、
その日は大雨、強風予報でツアーは中止になると思っていましだが、パンプキン鍾乳洞は中止になりましたがウミガメシュノーケリングはできるとのこと。
現地では大雨になり本当にできるのかと不安になりましたが現地ガイドさん曰く雨の日の方がいいとのこでツアーに参加。
正直大丈夫かと思っていましたが海の中はとても綺麗でたくさんのウミガメや熱帯魚もとても綺麗に見えました。
現地ガイドさんの説明も丁寧でとても良かった！
暑くもなく逆に海面の日光の照り返し等がなくとても良かったです！

In the water, the staff member asked us to wait a moment and showed us a pufferfish, saying it was not a good swimmer. We were completely captivated by its incredibly adorable appearance. Including that lucky encounter, there were many colorful fish, making it a wonderful memory. I was moved to see the Blue Cave with my own eyes, which I had only seen in pictures.

From the explanation of the equipment to being underwater and until the end, everything was explained thoroughly and enjoyably, so I had no worries at all. They took care of all the tedious preparations and clean-up, making it a luxurious experience that was easy to enjoy. Even when I was about to be swept away by the current during the underwater photography, the staff member quickly reached out to support me, allowing me to enjoy myself without any concerns. It was great that they provided skincare products like lotion and a hairdryer. I thought it would have been even better if the shower had warm water.

Thank you for taking so many wonderful photos and videos! I would love to experience this again!

I apologize for any inconvenience caused in the parking lot.

水中で、スタッフのお兄さんがちょっと待っててと言って

コクテンフグ
泳ぎが下手

と言って私たちに見せてくれました。
そのめちゃめちゃ愛くるしい姿に魅了されまくりでした。たまたま出会えたその子も含め、たくさんの色とりどりの魚がいて最高の思い出になりました。
写真で見ていた青の洞窟をこの目で見ることができ感動しました。

機材の説明から水中、終わりまで、丁寧に楽しく説明していただけたので不安は一切ありませんでした。
準備や片付けなど面倒なことは全てやっていただけて、手軽に楽しめる贅沢な経験でした。
水中写真撮影のとき水の流れに逆らえず流れそうになっても、すぐお兄さんが手を伸ばして支えてくれるので安心して楽しむことができました。
化粧水や乳液、ドライヤーも完備されてて、とても良かったです。
シャワーは温かいお湯が出たらさらに良かったなと思いました。

たくさんの素敵な写真や動画を撮ってくださりありがとうございました！
また体験したいです！

駐車場ではご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ありませんでした。

In my 60s, I was worried about my physical stamina, but the guide was always attentive and walked at my pace. During the canoeing and trekking, they provided information about various plants and animals. I was particularly impressed by the sagari flower, which blooms at night and wilts by morning, floating by the waterside.

The waterfall was beautiful, and the water in the basin felt great. They allowed plenty of time for us to enjoy it, and the homemade bento we had there was exceptional.

They also took more photos than I had imagined. Families with children or those hesitant about strenuous trekking should definitely choose this option.

60代、体力にも自信がなく心配でしたが、ガイドさんが常に気にしてくれて、私のペースに合わせて歩いてくれました。カヌー、トレッキングの最中にも色々な動植物の案内をしてくれました。中でも夜咲いて朝までに散るさがり花が水辺に浮いてて感激。
滝は美しい、滝壺の水は気持ち良い、時間もたっぷり取ってくれて、そこで食べる手作り感満載のお弁当は格別でした。
写真も想像以上にたくさん撮ってくれていました。
子どもさん連れのご家族や、ハードなトレッキングに躊躇している方は、ぜひこのメニューを選んでください。

I had planned a trip to Okinawa with a friend, but they couldn't make it, so I ended up going alone. Honestly, at first, I thought, "Oh, I'm going alone..." but by the end, I had so much fun that I completely forgot about it!

It was great that I was the only Japanese speaker that day, allowing me to fully enjoy the atmosphere of an overseas resort. In fact, it was very relaxing to spend time without having to worry about anything (laughs).

The staff explained everything carefully, alternating between Japanese and English, which made it easy to understand and allowed me to participate with confidence. Moreover, the water was incredibly clear that day, and I even got to see sea turtles, which made me very satisfied.

This was my first time in Kerama, and I had wanted to go for a long time, so I'm really glad I didn't give up just because I was going alone.

Another highlight was receiving photos taken with a GoPro, which allowed me to capture memories. I plan to show them off to my friends when I get back!

沖縄旅行を一緒に予定していた友人が来られなくなり、急遽ひとりで参加しました。正直、最初は「ひとりか…」と思っていたのですが、終わる頃にはそんなことを忘れるくらい楽しめました！

たまたまこの日は日本語話者が自分だけで、海外リゾートらしい雰囲気を存分に味わえたのも良かったです。むしろ気を遣わずに過ごせて、とても気楽でした（笑）

スタッフの方は日本語と英語を交互に使いながら丁寧に説明してくださったので、内容も分かりやすく安心して参加できました。さらに、この日は海の透明度がとても高く、ウミガメにも出会うことができて大満足です。

初めての慶良間だったので以前から行ってみたいと思っていましたが、「ひとり参加だから」という理由で諦めなくて本当に良かったなと。

GoProで撮影した写真をもらえたのも嬉しいポイントで、思い出を写真に残すことができたので、帰ったら友人に自慢しようと思います。

I received accurate advice and was able to stand up right away. I was very satisfied to experience the joy of surfing. Thank you very much.

的確なアドバイスをいただき、すぐに立つことができました。
サーフィンの楽しさを体感でき大満足です。
ありがとうございました。

Since Kawahira Bay was not accessible due to high waves, we were guided to a different location. Other tours were operating boats in that area, but they had a style where you walked from the shore. Additionally, the staff mentioned that stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is mostly not possible during this season, which raises doubts about why they were promoting tours that included SUP. However, the guide was very kind, and I enjoyed the tour itself.

川平湾が高波でNGだったので、別の場所への案内でした。他のツアーはそのエリアで船を出してましたが、岸から歩くスタイルでした。また、supはこの時期は殆ど出来ないと当日スタッフが仰っていました。なぜsupの出来るツアーを募集していたのか、不信感。ガイドの方はとても親切でツアー自体は楽しめました。

I had a great time paddling harder than I expected and going faster! I enjoyed the nature of Okinawa to the fullest, exploring areas covered by mangroves and entering caves. The instructors were all very cheerful and entertaining!

しっかり漕ぐと思ったよりスピードが出て楽しかったです！上までマングローブに覆われたところや洞窟に入ったり、存分に沖縄の自然を味わえました◎インストラクターの皆さんとても明るく面白い方ばかりでした！

Due to the approaching typhoon, all locations for SUP, snorkeling, and canoeing were changed from Kabira Bay, but I had a really enjoyable time♡

The guides were very kind and warmly welcomed us with attentive hospitality!

If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would like to experience activities at Kabira Bay next time!

I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Mine, who led the SUP tour, Ms. Hina, who was in charge of snorkeling and canoeing, and all the other guides. Thank you so much♡

P.S. This was my first trip with my boyfriend, so it became a very precious memory.

台風接近の影響により、SUP、シュノーケリング、カヌーのすべてのロケーションが川平湾から変更となりましたが、大変楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました♡

ガイドの皆様も非常に親切で、きめ細やかなおもてなしで温かく迎えてくださいました！

また石垣島を訪れる機会がありましたら、次こそは川平湾でアクティビティを体験したいと思います！

この度、SUPのツアーを引率してくださった峰先生、シュノーケリングとカヌーの担当をしてくださったヒナ先生、その他ガイドの皆様、本当にありがとうございました♡

P.S. 彼氏との初めての遠出だったので、とても貴重な思い出になりました。

I participated with my sibling in our 20s. When you think of Okinawa, you imagine the beach, but we discovered a different side of Okinawa. Paddling the kayak was more challenging than I expected, but it became a great experience.

20代の兄妹2人で参加しました。沖縄と言えばビーチを想像しますが、また違った沖縄を発見出来ました。カヤックを漕ぐのは思った以上に大変でしたが、とてもいい経験になりました。

I learned about the bald cypress from the instructor. They also shared interesting facts about the banyan tree and mangroves. If you're curious, be sure to ask about it when you're there!

インストラクターさんにはげの木を教えてもらいました。他にもガジュマルやマングローブなどの豆知識を教えてもらいました。気になる人現地で聞いてみてください！

Thank you very much for taking care of the four mature women the other day. The Blue Cave was absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Risa's amazing support, I was able to enjoy the underwater world with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to rely on VELTRA. Thank you so much! ♡

先日は熟女４人、大変お世話になりました。青の洞窟、めっちゃ素敵でした。
りさちゃんの神対応のお陰で、安心して海の世界を楽しむことができました。また機会がありましたら、VELTRAさんにお世話になりたいと思います♡ありがとうございました♡

It was my first time diving and snorkeling, but the guide was very polite and kind, which was great. The sea was very beautiful.

初めてのダイビング、シュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドの方がとても丁寧で親切で良かったです
海はとても綺麗でした

The weather was great, and I was able to see sea turtles! Thanks to the help of the instructor Shin-chan and Kyo-chan and the others, I was able to enjoy the tour safely! Thank you very much 😊

天気もよくてウミガメを見ることができました！そしてインストラクターのしんちゃんをはじめきょうちゃんたちの助けもあり安全にツアーを楽しむことができました！ありがとうございました😊

First canoe experience.
I couldn't see the sunrise, but I had a great time.
I'm very grateful to our guide Hiroki 😊.
Next time, I want to try SUP.
I definitely look forward to it again!

初のカヌー体験。
朝日は見れなかったけど
楽しく過ごせました。
ガイドの弘基さんにはとても感謝😊。
今度はSUPを挑戦したいです。
是非またよろしくお願いします。

I had a very enjoyable and valuable experience! The nice-voiced staff member provided thorough explanations and guidance, making everything very easy to understand. Next time, I want to participate in stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling!

とても楽しく、貴重な経験できました！
いい声のお兄さんが丁寧に説明と案内をしてくれとても分かりやすかったです。
次回はサップやシュノーケリングに参加したいです‼︎

I was amazed by the sheer number of fish I've never seen before, all so colorful! I was also thrilled to see Nemo in person, something I've only seen in videos before.

これまで見たことないくらいたくさんのお魚と、色鮮やかな魚ばかりで感動しました！
初動画でしか見たことないニモも生で見れて感動

I have a strong image of Ishigaki Island being known for its beautiful sea, but this mangrove tour experience was truly wonderful. Our guide, Kaori, provided detailed information about the mangroves and the surrounding ecosystem, which was very educational. I was also very satisfied with Hifumi's professional-level photography and drone shots. This tour not only focused on the mangroves but also included a canoe experience in the nearby sea, allowing us to land on a private beach and enjoy stunning views of the clear ocean. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Kaori and Hifumi, for this valuable experience.

石垣島は綺麗な海のイメージが強いですが、このバングローブのツアー体験が凄く良かったです。ガイドのかおりさんが丁寧にバングローブについて教えてくれましたし、その周りの生態についても丁寧に教えて頂き大変勉強になりました。またひふみさんのプロ級のカメラ撮影やドローン撮影にも大変満足しました。このツアーはバングローブのツアーだけではなく、近場の海のカヌーの体験もあって、プライベート感満載のビーチへの着岸やそこからの綺麗な海の景色、絶対にオススメです。かおりさん、ひふみさん、貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

The cave, SUP, and snorkeling are not all available at the same location, so having a rental car is more convenient for moving around and taking lunch breaks. From the photos, I thought it would be something like this, but when I participated, it exceeded my expectations and used more energy than I imagined. If I continue for a month, I might become muscular.

I understand the age restrictions for participation; it feels like a trip that can only be done when you're young. For those who don't have much time but want to do various activities in Miyako Island, I recommend this full menu.

The hotel beach is nice, but here you can snorkel for an hour and a half, do SUP, kayak, and experience the cave! It's a complete marine-related full menu. I was worried about dropping my own phone or camera, but they took plenty of photos during the tour, so I didn't have to use my own camera.

I want to thank Shinpei, Akane, and Kaji for their support! Thank you very much. I would love to participate again when I go with my family.

洞窟、SUP、シュノーケル同じ場所で全てのメニューではないので移動やお昼休みもあり自前レンタカーあった方が便利です
写真で見る限りこんなもんかな…と参加したら期待以上そして想像以上に体力使います。1か月続けたらマッチョになれるかも、
参加に年齢制限あるの納得、若うちにできる旅って感じです。
時間ないけど宮古島で色々したい人はこのフルメニューがおすすめ
ホテルのビーチとかも良いですがここで1時間半シュノーケルしてSUPしてカヤックして洞窟体験！マリン関係のフルメニューコンプリートです。
自前の携帯やカメラ落としそうなので心配してましたがツアー中もまめに写真を撮ってくれて自前のカメラは使わずに済みました。
今回サポート頂いた慎平さんあかねさん梶さんに感謝！ありがとうございました
またファミリーで行くとき参加したいです。

In a word, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I came. First of all, we were blessed with great weather, and the trekking went smoothly. There were some steeper and more challenging parts than I expected, but I was able to push through to the end thanks to the two guides and the other participants in the tour, who made it enjoyable. Soaking in the waterfall pool felt amazing! I definitely recommend this experience to everyone else. Thank you!

一言で言うととても楽しく来てよかった、と言う感じです。まずとてもお天気に恵まれ、トレッキングも順調に進みました。思ったより急で険しい所もあり大変でしたが、ガイドさん二人と同ツアー参加の方と楽しく頑張れたので最後までやり抜けれました。
滝壷での水浸かりはとても気持ちよかったです！ぜひ他の皆様にも体験をおすすめします。
ありがとうございました。

Although the chance of rain was 80%, it was beautifully sunny, and we were able to experience everything without getting wet. The mangroves offered a breathtaking panorama that felt like something out of a dream. While paddleboarding, the waves were gentle, making it easy to ride. The maneuverability was great, so I highly recommend it. Meeting the Ryukyu Kingfisher was a highlight, and the guide's insights were unique to this place, making it a wonderful memory. In the Blue Cave, the sea, coral reefs, and colorful fish of all sizes were stunning. I did feel a bit unwell at one point, but the kind words from the staff helped me get through it. Everyone else on the tour was lovely too, and we waved goodbye with big smiles as we parted ways.

降水確率80%でしたが、しっかり晴れて雨にあたることなく、体験できました。
マングローブでは、日本と思えないパノラマが広がり感動しました。サップでは、波も少なく簡単に乗ることができました。小回りもきくので、とてもおすすめです。リュウキュウアカショウビンに出会えて、ガイドさんの案内も、ここならでは！と言うことばかりで、とても、いい思い出になりました。青の洞窟では、海と珊瑚礁、大小のカラフルな魚達、美しかったです。途中、気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、優しい声かけをしていただき、無事すごせました。また、同じツアーに参加した皆さんも、素敵な方で別れ際は大きく手を振って笑顔でわかれました。
