All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

This was my first time in Miyako Island. Initially, I had booked a pumpkin tour limited to one group, but it was canceled due to Typhoon No. 11. I quickly changed my schedule and made a reservation with PiPi, which had high ratings. I thought it would be a large group tour, but it turned out to be a small group with one tour guide. When I arrived a little early at the meeting place, several staff members greeted us warmly, and they informed us that our tour guide was "Taro." They pointed out who Taro was, and I really appreciated how kind everyone was. Taro was quite charming and handsome, with a wonderful smile. On the way to the beach, Taro mentioned that we might see something rare, and I was looking forward to it. He said that a waterfall that hadn't appeared for months due to heavy rain was now visible. We were blessed with good weather, and both the waterfall and the pumpkin limestone cave were amazing! Taro also took many photos for us and sent them the same day. Thank you for a fun tour!

今回初めての宮古島でした。 当初、1グループ限定のパンプキンツアーを予約していたのですが、 台風11号でキャンセルとなり、 急きょ日程変更し、評価の高かったPiPiさんで予約しました。 大人数でのツアーとなるのかと思っていましたが、 少人数にツアーガイドさん１人がついてくださるというものでした。 予定時間より少し早く集合場所に行くと、何人かのスタッフさんの爽やかな挨拶と 私たちのツアーガイドは、「太朗」さんですよと教えてくださり、 「太朗」さんはあの人ですと案内してくれたりと、 ホント皆さん親切だなぁと(^^) その太朗さんはかなりの爽やかにイケメンで、笑顔が素敵な方でした。 ビーチに行く途中に、 もしかしたらレアなものが見れるかもとおっしゃっていた太朗さん、 何があるのか楽しみにしていましたが、 雨が沢山降ったときにした現れない滝が数ヶ月ぶりにでているとのこと。 天気にも恵まれ、滝もパンプキン鍾乳洞も最高でした！ 太朗さんにも沢山写真も撮っていただき、 その日のうちに送ってくださいました。 楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

I participated in the Pumpkin Cave tour and the sea turtle snorkeling tour. Due to the typhoon, we could only kayak part of the way, but the waterfall that is usually not visible was breathtaking, and I was lucky to take photos in front of it. Both the Pumpkin Cave and the sea turtle snorkeling offered extraordinary views, making them the highlight of my trip to Miyako Island. The kind guide provided thorough support, allowing me to enjoy all the activities with peace of mind. I highly recommend visiting Miyako Island!

パンプキン鍾乳洞ツアーとウミガメシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。
台風の影響でカヤックは途中までしか進めませんでしたが普段は見られないという滝が絶景でその前で写真を撮れたことはラッキーでした。
パンプキン鍾乳洞もウミガメシュノーケリングも非日常的な景色ばかりで宮古島旅行の一番の思い出になりました。
親切なガイドさんが丁寧にサポートしてくださるので安心してすべてのアクティビティを楽しむことができました。宮古島を訪れる方にパワープッシュします。

The shuttle service to the hotel was very convenient. Since you have to go to a port that is quite inconvenient without a rental car, I chose this plan with the shuttle included.

It was my first time snorkeling in the Kerama Islands, and the full-face mask was very comfortable. The type that you have to keep in your mouth can be tiring, but this type was easy to breathe with, and no water came in, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling. There were many options available, but this time I focused mainly on snorkeling and just watching the fish, which was enough fun for me. I even saw clownfish, and the fish came right up to me, making for a wonderful experience! Since the shuttle was included, changing clothes was necessary. I wanted to stay a little longer, but I took a shower and changed earlier than the others. There were limited changing areas, so that was a bit disappointing.

ホテルまでの送迎付きがとても便利でした。レンタカーがないと結構不便な港まで行かないといけないのでわざわざ送迎付きのこのプランにしました。
慶良間諸島シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、フルフェイス型のマスクはとても楽でした。ずっと口にくわえていないといけないタイプは疲れますが、こちらのタイプは息もしやすく水も入ってこないし、楽しんでシュノーケリングできました。オプションもたくさんありましたが今回はシュノーケリングメインでずっと魚を見ているだけでしたが十分楽しめました。クマノミも見れたし目の前まで魚たちが来てくれてとてもいい経験ができました！送迎付きなので着替えが必須、もうちょっと見ていたいと思いましたが他の人たちより早めにシャワーと着替えをしました。着替え場所が少ないので仕方ないですがそこだけは残念でした。

The scenery created by nature, which cannot be made by humans, was breathtaking.

The guide was also very kind, and I had a valuable experience.

Thank you very much.

人では作れない、自然が作り出した光景が圧巻でした。

ガイドさんも親切な方で貴重な体験ができた。

ありがとうございました。

The instructor was handsome, and the coral was very beautiful. It was impressive when a boy's fin fell to the seabed, and he went to retrieve it while free diving.

インストラクターのお兄さんがイケメンでサンゴもとても綺麗だった。参加していた少年の足ヒレが海底に落ちた時も素潜りで取りに行った、すごかった。

We participated as a family. My son and I got seasick, and the whole family had to give up on the tour midway. Despite giving up on the tour, we were still able to have lunch, and the follow-up service was very kind.

家族で参加。私と息子が波酔いしてツアーを家族全員途中で断念しました。ツアー断念したにもかかわらず昼食もいただけて、その後の対応もすごく親切にしていただきました。

My first experience with sunset stand-up paddleboarding in Miyako Island was amazing! The instructor was very kind, and despite an accident, they handled everything very carefully. The tour included photos, and I was very satisfied with the pictures taken against the backdrop of the sunset! I want to go again!

はじめての宮古島、サンセットsup体験でした！インストラクターの方はとても優しい方で、アクシデントがあったにも関わらず、とても丁寧にご対応いただきました。写真付きのツアーで夕日をバックに撮っていただき大満足です！また行きたいです！

I had an absolutely wonderful time!
It seems that it wasn't the usual spot due to the typhoon before and after, but the scenery was very beautiful, and I was able to see the sunset perfectly! I also got to enjoy the time after the sun went down, known as the magic hour, while paddleboarding, and it was an amazing sight.
The staff were cheerful and let us play freely and enjoy ourselves. They took a lot of beautiful photos and videos with a GoPro! They also recommended a great restaurant, which was fantastic as well. ✨

I had no complaints at all and was truly able to have fun and enjoy myself freely! I would love to use this place again when I come back to Miyako Island!
Thank you so much! ✨

ほんっとうに楽しかったです！
台風の前後だったため、いつものスポットじゃなかったみたいですが、景色もとても綺麗でしっかり夕日を見ることが出来ました！マジックアワー(?)と呼ばれる太陽が沈んだあとの時間もsupができ、そちらも最高の光景でした
スタッフの方も明るく、自由にのびのび遊ばせてくださいました。GoProで写真、動画も沢山撮って下さり、とても綺麗な写真でした！おすすめのご飯屋さんも教えてくれました！そしてそこも絶品でした✨

不満な点は何も無く本当に自由に楽しく遊ぶことが出来ました！次宮古島来た時もここを使わせていただきたいてす！
本当にありがとうございました✨

I was worried about whether I could go into the sea due to the typhoon, but I didn't expect to see such beautiful and colorful corals and fish. The guide was very helpful and taught us well, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling safely! I didn't bring my camera, but they took a lot of pictures for us, making it a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

台風の影響で海に入れるか不安でしたが、こんなにも綺麗でカラフルな珊瑚と魚たちが見れるとは思っていませんでした。ガイドのお兄さんが丁寧に教えてくれて、安全にシュノーケルを楽しめました！カメラを持っていってなかったので、たくさん写真も撮ってくれて最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

SUP was my first experience, but the guide was kind and thorough in their explanations, allowing me to enjoy participating. Even someone like me, who isn't very athletic, was able to stand on the SUP! Due to the impact of the typhoon, the event was held in a bay, but the guide took many photos with the beautiful sunset in the background, creating a wonderful memory of Miyako Island. I did struggle a bit to coordinate positions with my husband while taking photos... but I think that was part of the fun. Lying on the SUP and looking at the moon was a soothing moment, and it made me want to visit Miyako Island again.

supは初めての体験でしたが、ガイドさんが親切丁寧にレクチャーしてくれて楽しんで参加できました。運動神経が良くない私でもsupの上に立つ事が出来きました！台風の影響もあり入り江での開催でしたが、きれいな夕日をバックにガイドさんが写真を沢山撮ってくれて宮古島の思い出のひとつとなりました。写真を撮る際に旦那とのポジション合わせに多少苦労しましたが…笑それもまた良しかと。supの上にねっ転がり見る月は癒しのひと時となり、また宮古島に来たいと思える体験でした。

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding for the first time. Thanks to the thorough explanations, I felt no anxiety and was able to enjoy it at my own pace. They also took photos for us, making it a tour that I believe will leave the best memories both in form and in memory! Even with good weather, be mindful of the waves and wind direction. I'm really glad I participated.

初めてサップを体験しました。丁寧に説明してもらったおかげで不安は無く、自分のペースでゆっくり満喫できるくらい乗りこなせました。写真も撮っていただき、形にも記憶にも最高の思い出として残せるツアーだと思います！
天候は良くても波や風向きには注意です。
でも参加できて本当に良かったです。

The guide Hiro's stories were very interesting!! It was clear that he genuinely cares not only about the customers in front of him but also about the nature of Iriomote Island. I want to participate again. I will come back (^^)

ガイドのヒロさんのお話が大変面白かったです！！
目の前のお客様の事だけでなく、西表島の自然のことを真剣に考えている事が伝わってきました。
また参加したいです。また来ます(^^)

It was great that I could enjoy myself with peace of mind, even though I was the only beginner, as they adjusted the driving speed based on the age and type of experience.

レジャーに体験する年齢、タイプを見て、運転速度をかえてくれたりと、私以外初心者でしたが、安心して楽しむことができて良かったです。

Although we started significantly later than the scheduled time due to traffic, we were able to enjoy ourselves for about 1 to 2 hours. We also received a call from the tour company, which was appreciated. We couldn't see a beautiful sunset due to the weather and clouds, but it was still a great experience. If you're looking for a relaxing time, I definitely recommend it.

渋滞等により集合時間より大幅に遅れてのスタートでしたが、1~2時間ほど十分楽しめました。ツアーさんの方からお電話もいただき、ありがたかったです。天候や雲により綺麗なサンセットは見られませんでしたが、それでもいい体験となりました。ゆったりとした時間の流れで、癒しを求めているのなら是非。

The tour of Pumpkin Cave was supposed to take us into a cave that can only be accessed from the sea by a two-person kayak, but due to the typhoon, the water level was very low during low tide, so we ended up walking part of the way! On the way to Pumpkin Cave, we saw a miraculous waterfall that can only be seen after a typhoon or rain, and we were able to take photos, which made for wonderful memories. Inside the cave, it was magical; we had unique experiences like climbing and jumping in the cave, and shining our own lights! Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but we did see clownfish and some rare pufferfish, and we learned the names of many fish! The guides were all very kind, and I believe you can enjoy the tour safely. Since you can also learn about coral and snorkeling, I recommend participating in the tour for first-timers!

パンプキン鍾乳洞のツアーでは海の中からしか入れない鍾乳洞に二人乗りのカヤックで行く予定でしたが、台風の後ということもあり、干潮で水位がとても低く途中から徒歩で向かいました！パンプキン鍾乳洞に向かう途中に、台風や雨の後にしか見れない奇跡の滝があり、写真も撮ってもらえてとても良い思い出になりました。鍾乳洞の中は幻想的で、鍾乳洞を登ったり、飛び込んだり、自分でライトを照らしたりとここでしかできない体験ができました！シュノーケルでは残念ながらウミガメには出会えませんでしたが、カクレクマノミや珍しいフグなどにも会えてたくさん魚の名前も教えてもらいました！親切なガイドさんばかりで安全にツアーを楽しめると思います。珊瑚やシュノーケルの知識なども学べるので初めての方はツアーに参加することをお勧めします！

I had the opportunity to experience both SUP and snorkeling during my summer vacation. Both instructors were kind and approachable, which was great! SUP was challenging for balance, and I fell multiple times (laughs).

For snorkeling, we changed locations and arrived about 15 minutes by car from the sea where we did SUP. Two instructors joined us for snorkeling and took many beautiful photos! Later on, when we started looking for sea turtles, one of the instructors spotted one right away! The sea turtle was swimming around without a care in the world! It was my first time in Miyako Island, and it became a wonderful memory!

夏休みにSUPとシュノーケリングをセットで体験させてもらいました。
両方とも、インストラクターが優しくて、親しみやすくて良かったです！
SUPはバランスがとるのが難しく、何回も転倒しました(笑)

シュノーケリングは場所を変更して、参加しました。SUPを行った海から車で15分くらいで着きました。シュノーケリングは2名のインストラクターがついてくれて、きれいな写真をたくさん撮ってくれました！
後半、ウミガメを探すことになったら、インストラクターの人がすぐに発見！！ウミガメはこちらを気にせず、海の中を散策していました！
初めての宮古島でしたが、良い思い出になりました！！

They responded quickly to my questions via email beforehand, and on the day of the event, the experienced staff adapted flexibly to our needs, allowing us to have a fulfilling time! Climbing the Pumpkin Cave and the explanations in between were also very informative! I am very satisfied! Thank you!

事前のメールでの質問に対しても迅速にお答え頂けましたし、
当日も慣れたスタッフさんが臨機応変に対応下さり、充実した時間をすごせました！
パンプキン鍾乳洞に登り、合間の説明も勉強になりました！
大変満足です！ありがとうございました！

I was worried about whether I could ride the SUP well since it was my first time, but once I got used to it, operating it wasn't that difficult, and I had a great time! The guide was also kind. There weren't too many people, so I didn't feel uncomfortable even during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was worried about whether we would be able to see the sunset that day, but I was able to take photos with the sunset in the background, which became a wonderful memory. I also got to lie down on the SUP and gaze at the sky, allowing me to spend a relaxing and leisurely time. I'm glad I could have an experience that I wouldn't normally get to do!

初めてのSUPで上手く乗れるか心配でしたが、慣れたら、操作もそんなに難しくなくて、楽しめました!ガイドさんも親切でした。人数もそんなに多くなく、コロナ禍でも気にならなかったです。当日は夕日が見られるか心配でしたが、夕日をバックに写真を撮ってもらうこともできて、いい思い出になりました。SUPの上で寝転がって空を眺めたりもできて、のんびりゆっくりした時間を過ごせました。普段はなかなか出来ない体験ができて良かったです!

I experienced this for the first time after turning 30, and I had so much fun that I feel like I missed out by not trying it earlier! They teach you how to kayak in a very thorough manner, so anyone can easily learn. The explanations about the mangroves were also very interesting and captivating. I definitely want to visit again!

30過ぎてはじめて体験しましたが、今までやってなかったのが勿体無いくらい楽しめました！
カヤックの乗り方も丁寧に教えてもらえるので、誰でも簡単に覚えられます。
マングローブの説明とかも、とても興味湧く内容で引き込まれました。
また伺いたいと思います！

We kayaked up and down the Miyara River. My spouse and I participated, and thanks to the wonderful personality of our guide, we were able to enjoy a great atmosphere with the other participants. It wasn't just their personality; they also had a wealth of knowledge and answered all our questions about what we saw perfectly. I was truly impressed. After the experience, they also introduced us to recommended gourmet spots on Ishigaki Island, and I appreciated hearing the subjective opinions of a local resident. I hope to meet them again somewhere! 😊

宮良川をカヤックで登って、下りました。
夫婦2人で参加しましたが、ガイドさんの人柄の良さのおかげで、他の参加メンバーとも良い雰囲気の中で過ごすことができました。もちろん人柄だけではなく、色々な知識を有していて、目にしたものについての質問は完璧に応えてくれました。感服です。体験後には石垣島のおススメグルメも紹介してくれて、島の住人の主観的な意見を聞けたのも良かったと感じました。またどこかでお会いしたいです(^^)

My husband surprised us with this experience and it was awesome. The crew were all very welcoming and friendly, the boat in great condition and the chute was top quality.
We shared the trip with two other groups, one of two and another of 5. It wasn't close to crowded. Our daughter, who is 9, was very nervous, so we did not go up first. After seeing the process, she was very willing to try and barely scared for a moment until the awesome experience took her over and she loved it. We do plan on doing this again with family and friends.

The weather was nice and fun.
It was hot, but enjoyable.
I went snorkeling for the first time in a while and want to do it again.
The sea was beautiful.
There were lots of fish.

天気もよくたのし
暑かったけどたのし
久しぶりにシュノーケリングやりましたまた、やりたいです。
綺麗なうみでした。
魚もいっぱい

My girlfriend and I traveled to Miyako Island.
On the second day, we decided to enjoy marine activities!
In the morning, we went snorkeling at Shinjo Beach to see her long-awaited sea turtles. The weather was perfect, and as we swam with our guide in the crystal-clear waters, we spotted a sea turtle in just a few minutes! Our guide took many photos with a GoPro. Luckily, we were able to see about three sea turtles at the same time! After that, we were introduced to the cute fish living in the coral reefs, which made us very satisfied.
In the afternoon, we moved to Ingyamarine Beach and experienced SUP for the first time in our lives! The feeling of being rocked by the waves and feeling the wind was amazing, and the time spent swaying on the board was the best. I would love to try yoga someday as well!
At one point, I was worried about the approaching typhoon, but fortunately, we were able to fully enjoy the marine activities. I am truly grateful to our very kind guide.

彼女と2人で宮古島旅行へ。
2日目にマリンアクティビティを楽しむことに！
午前中は彼女の念願のウミガメを見るべく、新城海岸でシュノーケリングへ。天気にも恵まれ透明感抜群の海のなかガイドさんについて泳いでいると、ものの数分でウミガメを発見！ガイドさんのgo proで沢山写真を撮影していただきました。ラッキーなことに3匹くらい同時にウミガメをみることができました♪その後もサンゴ礁に生息する可愛いお魚さんたちを紹介していただき大満足でした。
午後はインギャーマリンビーチに場所を変更して人生初のSUPを体験しました！波にゆられて風を感じる気持ちよさは抜群で、ボードの上でゆらゆらとゆれている時間は最高でした。またいつかヨガに挑戦してみたいと思います！
台風の接近で一時はどうなるかと思いましたが、運良くマリンアクティビティを満喫することができました。とても親切なガイドさんに心から感謝です。

It was a wonderful experience with colors more vibrant than I had imagined. On the day of the visit, I was worried about whether I would be able to see the beautiful blue colors due to the cloudy weather, but those worries were completely unfounded. My parents, who are both over 65, also participated, and they seemed very satisfied as they were able to enjoy it safely. During the fish feeding experience, an unexpectedly large number of fish gathered around me, making it a lovely experience as if I were swimming in an aquarium. I definitely want to experience this again when I visit Okinawa.

想像していたよりも青い色彩で素晴らしい経験でした。当日は曇りの天気で、綺麗な青い色が見られるか心配していたのですが、そんな心配は全く杞憂でした。また65歳を超える両親も一緒に参加したのですが、安全に楽しめたので二人ともとても満足した様子でした。魚のえさやり体験では、身体の周りに想像以上の数が集まってくれて、水族館の中を泳いでいるような素敵な体験でした。また是非沖縄に来た時には、もう一度この体験を味わってみたいです。

We participated as a family of four.
It was the children's first time snorkeling.
The Blue Cave was crowded, and we had to wait a bit, but it was very beautiful and moving.
During the fish feeding, a huge number of fish came right in front of us, which was amazing.

We also had many underwater photos taken.

Having a guide made it easy for us to join the tour with children.

We had a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much.

家族4人で参加させていただきました。
子供達は初めてのシュノーケリングでした。
青の洞窟の中は混んでいて、少し待ちましたがとても綺麗で感動いたしました。
魚のエサやりで、すごい数の魚が目の前にきてすごかったです。

水中の写真も沢山撮っていただきました。

ガイドの方がいたので、子供連れでも安心してツアーに参加できました。

とても素敵な体験をさせていただきました。
ありがとうございました。

Thanks to the persistence of our female guide at Tokashiku Beach, who took everyone's feelings into account and assured us that she would keep searching until the end, we were able to have an incredible close encounter with a sea turtle! Additionally, the conversation with the lady who took us back to the port at the end of the tour (perhaps a local helper?) conveyed the island's charm in a way that made me want to come back again. She shared wonderful insights, like how the uninhabited islands are simple and rich in nature, and how the stars on a dark moonlit night are incredibly beautiful. Thank you very much.

However, I believe the experience could be even more enjoyable with the following improvements: 1) We were supposed to use a charter boat, but it broke down the day before and could not be repaired in time, so we agreed to switch to a regular ferry. While we managed to have a decent time as a family, the time spent on-site was shorter than initially planned, and it was disappointing that we couldn't experience the charter boat. 2) The male guide at Reef Inn Kuniyoshi seemed quite curt, responding to any questions with "Please take responsibility for yourself" as his first words. Since he is a local expert, I believe customer satisfaction would increase if he could provide advice based on his experiences, mentioning that some customers may need specific assistance but ultimately emphasizing personal responsibility.

I have been using Veltra for a while because they offer a wide range of tour options that suit my taste. I will continue to use your services in the future, so thank you in advance.

とかしくビーチではガイドの女性の方の、みんなの思いを受け止めてくださり最後まで探しますねーという粘りの姿勢のおかげで、ウミガメに大接近遭遇出来ました！それと、ツアー終盤に港へ送って下さったおばちゃん（近所からお手伝い？）のお話が、具体的に島の魅力が伝わってきて、ぜひまた来たいと思わせる素晴らしいトークでした。（〇〇市になっていない離島は素朴で自然豊かでいいよー、とか、月の暗い夜の星はすごく綺麗だよーとか）ありがとうございました。
ただ、以下の改善点、考慮・対応いただけるともっと楽しめるように思います。①チャーター船利用のはずが、前日に故障して当日までには治らないので、通常の乗合フェリー利用への振替を了承しました。何でも楽しめる質なので家族でそれなりに楽しみましたが、現地滞在の時間が当初より短くなったのと、チャーター船を経験したかったのに出来なかったのは残念でした。②現地の、リーフイン国吉の案内の男性が、何を質問されてもひと言目に「自己責任でお願いします」とつっけんどんに感じられました。現地の専門家なのだから、これこれこうされるお客様もいらっしゃいますが、最後は自己責任で、と経験などをアドバイスいただけるとお客様の満足度は上がると思います。
ベルトラさんはツアーの切り口の選択肢が広くてセンスが合うので以前からよく使っています。今後も使いますので、よろしくお願いします。

We went for an introductory diving experience with my two high school kids, who were diving for the first time, and me, with my very old diving license. The parking guidance was kind, and they were very helpful even after we boarded the boat. There were many customers during the summer vacation, but they managed everything efficiently, allowing us to have a smooth experience. They were very knowledgeable about the dive spots, and we got to see sea turtles and clownfish, which got both the kids and me really excited. Since the first dive felt so good, the kids kept asking for more, and before we knew it, we ended up doing three dives! We were extremely satisfied. Even after returning home, the kids kept saying how much fun diving was. The captain was friendly, and the diving guides were also very approachable, making it a truly enjoyable experience. The kids have completely fallen in love with diving and are likely to say they want to get their licenses next. They provided towel rentals, drinks, showers, and even lunch, making it very comfortable.

ダイビングは初めての高校生の子供２人と、超昔のダイビングライセンスの私の３人で体験ダイビングでエントリー。
駐車場の案内も親切で、乗船してからもとても親切でした。
夏休みでお客様は多かったですが、手際よく案内して、スムーズに体験できました。
ポイントも熟知されていて、ウミガメやクマノミに会えて子供も私も大興奮。
初めてのダイビングがとても良い感触だったので、子供達、次も、次もと
気がつけば３ダイブ！！大、大、大、大満足です。
帰宅してからも、ダイビング楽しかったなぁ・・・を連発。
船長さんも気さくな方で、ダイビングのガイドさんたちも
とってもフレンドリーで、非常に楽しい経験になりました。
子供達、すっかりダイビングにはまり、これは次はライセンス取るって
言い出しそうです。
タオルの貸し出し、飲み物の提供、シャワーもあるし、お弁当もあるし
非常に快適でした。

We participated as a family. It was a day that everyone enjoyed.
We would like to participate again.
Thank you very much.

家族で参加しました。みんなが楽しめた1日になりました。
又参加したいです。
本当にありがとうございました。

The pre-dive briefing was thorough, and it was nice that they spoke to us casually. However, the instructor assigned to our pair was a part-timer, and their service was not very good. When we got into the water, they said, "We'll practice what we talked about on the boat," and I was left thinking, "What was that about?" Their attitude suggested they couldn't understand why I didn't know. I was already nervous, and this made me feel even more anxious.

I paid an additional fee for a second dive because I wanted to see a turtle again, but I ended up with the same instructor... it was very disappointing. They took photos underwater that we could get later, but they were dark and unclear... Other people's photos showed clownfish and turtles beautifully, and while I know this might be selfish, I couldn't help but compare, which was very disappointing.

Since it was the busy season in August, there were a lot of people, and I understand that, but I don't like having a part-time instructor, so I won't be using this tour company again.

ダイビング前の説明は丁寧ですし、気軽に話しかけてくださるのでよかったです。
私たちペアについてくださったインストラクターさんは、アルバイトだそうで対応があまりよくなかったです。
いざ海に入った時に「船の上で言ったこと練習しますよ」と言われ「何のことだったっけ？」となっていると何で分からないのという態度で、はいやって！と言わんばかり。ただでさえ緊張してるのに、そんな感じ？と不安になりました。
2回目も亀に会いたいから潜る！と追加料金で入りましたが、また同じインストラクター…非常に残念でした。
中で写真を撮ってもらってあとから貰えるのですが、暗くて何が何だか…他の人の写真ではクマノミやカメが綺麗に写ってるのに…これは我儘なのは承知しておりますが、それでも比べてしまうので非常に残念でした。
8月の繁忙期でしたので、大勢いましたし、仕方ないとは思いますが、片手間インストラクターさんは嫌なので、私はもうこのツアー会社は利用しません。

On this day, there were only two families, including us, and it seemed that there were still few other tour operators at that time, so perhaps by chance, we were able to see the Blue Cave almost exclusively, which was very beautiful and great. We were able to snorkel in the area and see many fish. When we fed them, even more fish came close, which was amazing.
Boat entry is definitely recommended.
The staff member was very nice, and we had a really fun time.
Here’s some information:
- The shop was easy to find as it was along the main street, but the parking was not on the premises; it was in an empty lot accessed from the entrance with the flag of the next store. If you try to park on the shop's premises, the staff will guide you, so it's fine.
- Snorkel masks, fins, and life jackets were provided before departure, and they gave thorough explanations for beginners. Bringing your own snorkel is also okay.
- Each person should bring their own drinks and towels. Other than these, you can't bring much.
- All other belongings should be stored in coin lockers, and you take the locker key in a plastic bag with your name on it. (The locker costs 100 yen and is of the type that doesn't return.)
- The shower and changing room inside are properly set up for women, but for men, it was outside. I changed in the restroom.
- During the tour, the staff took many photos, and at the end, you can receive the files via Airdrop or LINE.

この日は私たちともう１家族の２組しかいなくて、他のツアー業者もまだ少ない時間帯だったらしく、たまたまかもしれませんが青の洞窟をほぼ貸切状態で見ることができ、とても綺麗で良かったです。周辺でシュノーケルをしてたくさんの魚を見ることができました。餌付けをするとさらにたくさんの魚が間近まで来てすごかったです。
やはりボートエントリーがおすすめですね。
スタッフのお兄さんが良い感じで、とても楽しい時間をすごせました。
以下、情報を記載しておきます。
・ショップはメインの通り沿いなのでとてもわかりやすかったのですが、駐車場はその敷地内ではなく、１つ先のお店の旗のある入り口から入る空き地でした。ショップ敷地内に止めようとするとお店の方が教えてくれますので大丈夫です。
・シュノーケルマスク、フィン、ライフジャケットは出発前に貸していただけて、初めての人向けにも丁寧に説明もしてくれます。持ち込みのマイシュノーケルもOK。
・ドリンクとタオルは各自持参です。これら以外はほとんど何も持っていけません。
・その他の荷物は全てコインロッカーにあずけ、ロッカーのキーを名前の書かれたビニール袋に入れて持っていきます。（ロッカーは100円かかり、戻ってこないタイプでした。）
・シャワーと更衣室は室内は女子優先でちゃんとしたのがありますが、男子は外でした。私は着替えはトイレでしました。
・ツアー中にスタッフの方が写真をたくさん撮ってくれていて、最後にAirdropやLINEでファイルをもらえます。
