All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

It was my first time kayaking and exploring the mangroves, and it turned out to be a very valuable experience! The explanations were thorough, and I learned a lot about the mangroves. ✨

カヤックもマングローブも初めてでしたが、とても貴重な体験になりました！丁寧に説明していただけて、マングローブについて詳しくなれました✨

It was my first time snorkeling domestically, but the facilities were well-equipped and the staff were friendly, so I had a fun and comfortable experience. I truly think the beauty of Kerama Blue is amazing. I was also satisfied to see whales.

国内シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、設備が整っていて、スタッフも親切だったので楽しく快適に過ごしました。慶良間ブルーの美しさは本当に素晴らしいと思います。
クジラも見られて満足しました。

It was my first time in Okinawa, and I went kayaking! I had always wanted to see mangroves up close, so I was planning to make a reservation, but it turned out to be a sunset tour! I love nature and sunsets, and just thinking about it was amazing, so I booked it right away!

When I actually tried it, I was worried about my sense of balance, but it was totally fine! In particular, the guide was funny and provided thorough guidance, answering all my questions, and I was very satisfied!

If I come to Okinawa again, I will definitely participate again! 🙇‍♀️

人生で初めての沖縄、そしてカヤックでした！ずっとマングローブが近くで見てみたかったので予約しようと思ってたのですが、まさかのサンセットツアー！大好きな自然と夕日、もう考えただけで最高ですぐ予約しました！
実際やってみたら、バランス感覚とかが不安だったけど、全然！特に、ガイドさんが面白く、丁寧にガイドしてくれたり、質問にも答えてくれて大満足でした！
また沖縄に来たら是非また参加させていただきます🙇‍♀️

The crew was friendly, professional, knowledgable and attentive. We went to several spots out past the harbor and were able to catch a decent amount of fish. We were even given a recommendation for where to cook our catch after.

I was able to experience kayaking with peace of mind, even as a beginner! With the staff's guidance, I had a wonderful time!

初めてでも安心してカヤックを体験できました！スタッフさんのお話も相待って、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！

I was a bit nervous for my first kayaking experience, but the thorough lecture helped me feel at ease and enjoy it!

It was a fun activity filled with not only mangroves but also lots of little information about Okinawa!

I would love to use this service again!

初めてのカヤックで、少し緊張していましたが、丁寧なレクチャーで不安なく体感できました！

マングローブのみならず、沖縄のプチ情報満載の楽しいアクティビティでした！

また利用させていただきたいと思います！

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the weather, but we had a wonderful experience paddling through the mangroves and getting close to the sea. Our guide, Mr. Wataya, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information not only about nature but also about drinks and food, making it a very enjoyable time. Since we couldn't see the sunset this time, I hope to have a chance to come back on a nice day for a redo!

あいにくの天気でサンセットは見られませんでしたがマングローブの間を通ったり海のそばまで漕いで行ったりと素敵な体験ができました。
船頭の渡谷さんはとても知識が豊富で、自然のあれこれ以外にもお酒やご飯のお話までいろいろ教えてくださりとても楽しい時間でした。
今回は夕日を見ることができなかったので、次は天気のいい日にリベンジできたらいいなと思っています！

It was so much fun that an hour and a half flew by in no time! I learned about the joy of interacting with nature and gained knowledge about Okinawa. Thanks to our very kind guide, everyone in the group was extremely satisfied! I want to join the sunset tour next time! Thank you very much 😊

楽しすぎて１時間半あっという間でした！自然と触れ合うことの楽しさ、沖縄にまつわる知識も教えていただき、とても親切なガイドさんのおかげで参加メンバーみんなで大満足でした！
次はサンセットにも参加したいです！
ありがとうございました😊

Wataru's guidance was attentive and calm, and it was really GOOD! 👍️ We had a private experience with an early morning departure! How lucky! ⤴️ We enjoyed a unique experience gliding under the mangroves and just above the water's surface. It became the best memory!

渡谷君のガイドが気配りがあって、穏やかーでとってもGOOD👍️でした！
朝一番の出発で貸し切り状態！
なんてラッキー⤴️
マングローブの下をくぐったり、水面スレスレの非日常体験を満喫しました。
最高の思い出になりました

Due to the weather, I had to give up on what I wanted to do and signed up for kayaking, but I had a great time! Thanks to the detailed explanations from our guide, Namiki, I learned a lot about the Hija River and mangroves, and I was very satisfied! Next time, I want to use it for a sunset tour. Namiki shared some recommended information, and I want to see her again 😊

天候の関係でやりたかったことを断念しカヤックに申し込みましたがとても楽しめました！
担当のナミキさんの丁寧な説明で比謝川やマングローブのことを知れて大満足です！
次はサンセットで利用したいです。
ナミキさんがオススメ情報を教えてくださり、又会いたくなりました😊

Two years ago, I had a snorkeling experience with a different company, but this time was much better!
【Banana Boat + Snorkeling Experience】
【Positive Points】 Instead of traveling by boat, we enjoyed the ride on a banana boat while heading to nearby spots, which prevented seasickness and made it enjoyable. When my daughter requested a more intense ride on the banana boat, they accommodated her, and the whole family praised how much fun it was.

2年前、別の運営会社のシュノーケル体験を行いましたが今回の方がずっと良かったです！
【バナナボート＋シュノーケル体験】
【良かった点】船での移動ではなく、バナナボートで楽しみながら近場のポイント向かったので船酔いもせず楽しめました。バナナボートも、娘が激し目なのをリクエストすると対応してくれ、家族みんな、楽しかったと絶賛でした。

The weather was nice, and it felt absolutely wonderful. The staff member in charge was also great at talking and was fantastic. My 2-year-old grandchild was with us, but it was a tour where we could enjoy ourselves with peace of mind.

天気も良く　最高に気持ちよかったです。
担当のお兄ちゃんも、話が上手で素晴らしかった。
2歳の孫も一緒でしたが、安心して楽しめるツアーでした。

I was curious if there was a place to do SUP or kayaking in such a town, but once I got here, I found myself paddling along a wide river surrounded by Okinawan plants.

As a traveler, I wanted to find a place where I could experience this without any gear, but since most places offer similar services, I recommend checking their websites thoroughly. There were changing rooms available, and the parking lot can accommodate five cars.

One thing to note is that your bottom will definitely get wet while kayaking. Experiencing this in January can be quite cold, and there's a possibility of rain. If you can prepare, you might need rain gear for both your top and bottom. However, when I mentioned to the staff that I didn't have any rain gear and didn't want to get wet during my trip, they kindly lent me rain pants for free. They also provided shoes. However, a towel is essential, as you'll need it to dry your feet afterward. I brought a towel that I didn't mind throwing away during my travels.

We paddled back and forth on a river about 300 meters long. Along the way, we listened to explanations from the staff. The distance was short, but we enjoyed a leisurely paddle on the kayak. This time in January was relatively cold, but in the summer, there are no trees to provide shade, so it will definitely be hot. You'll need to consider what time of year to experience this and which plan to choose.

こんな町中に、supやカヤックをする場所があるのか？と行く前は不思議に思っていましたが、いざ来てみると、川幅は広く沖縄の植物に囲まれた川を漕ぎます。
まず、旅行者なので、手ぶらで体験できるところを探したいですが、どこも同じようなサービスなので、HPをしっかりチェックすることをお勧めします。更衣室はありました。駐車場も5台停められます。

1番気になることとして、カヤックはお尻は確実に濡れます。そして、1月の体験は寒いです。雨の可能性もあります。もし、用意できるなら、上も下も雨具が必要かもしれません。ただ、旅行中の体験で、それらをもっていないこと、濡れたくないことをお店の方に伝えると、雨具のズボンは無料で貸し出していただけました。靴も貸してもらえます。ただし、タオルは必需品で、終わった後で足を拭きます。なので、旅行中に捨ててもいいタオルを持参しました。

300mほどの川を往復します。
途中、スタッフの方の説明を聞きながら
進んでいきます。移動距離は短いのですが、のんびり漕いでカヤックを満喫です。
今回は1月で、どちらかというと寒かったですが、夏は日を避ける木がないので、確実に暑いはずです。
どの時期に体験するか、また、どのプランにするか考える必要があります。

I participated in mid-December. The weather was just right, not too cold even in a light sweatshirt, but it was a bit disappointing that I didn't encounter many living creatures since it was winter. Nevertheless, the staff had a wealth of knowledge, and time flew by quickly. The plants were completely different from those in Honshu, and being able to see them up close was a valuable experience. This time of year is recommended for those who want to enjoy it slowly, as there aren't many tourists. I would like to participate again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

12月中旬に参加しました。薄手のスウェットでも寒くなくちょうど良い気候でしたが、冬ということで生き物にあまり出会えなかったことが残念ではありました。それでもスタッフの方の知識量がとても多く、あっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。植物も本州とはまったく違うものばかり、それをすぐ近くで見ることができたのは貴重な経験だったと思います。この時期は観光客があまり多くないのでゆっくり楽しみたい方におすすめです。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

During my experience in December, I initially thought it would be cold to go into the sea, but as I played, I got so warm that I was really having a great time!! The staff were also very kind, and I had a lot of fun!!!

12月の体験で、初めは海に入るのが寒いかなと思っていましたが、遊んでいるうちに暑くなってくるほど、思いっきりはしゃいでいました！！
スタッフの方も親切ですごく楽しませていただきました！！！

After making the reservation, I received a suggestion for the date and time considering the weather, which made me feel at ease about the request. At that time, they also checked the conditions of the points and guided us to a place where we wouldn't get seasick, and it was incredibly fun. We were able to take pictures with the corals and fish, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also a pet-friendly tour. Thank you very much!

予約した後、天候を考慮し、日時の提案連絡があり、安心して依頼出来ました。
当時も、ポイントの状況を見てより波酔いしない所に案内して下さり、最高に楽しかったです。サンゴや魚との写真も撮って頂き、満喫出来ました。ワンコ連れにも優しいツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

Despite the changes in weather, I was able to see the sea turtles, and the guide was friendly, which made it enjoyable. Thank you very much.

天候の変化にもかかわらず、海カメちゅんとみれたし、フランクなガイドさんで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

I joined to see the mangroves. Even though it was November, the sunlight was warm, and I was able to enjoy kayaking comfortably. The guide provided detailed explanations about the plants and creatures, which sparked my interest. They were particularly knowledgeable about fish, and I even asked about the highlights of the Churaumi Aquarium that I planned to visit afterward. I was lucky to catch a glimpse of a rare mongoose, which is not often seen. It was my first time kayaking, but I was able to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace that wasn't tiring. I would love to participate again.

マングローブが見たくて参加しました。11月なのに日差しが暖かくて快適にカヤックを楽しむことができました。ガイドさんが植物や生き物について詳しく説明してくださり、とても興味が湧きました。特にお魚に詳しい方で、その後行く予定だった美ら海水族館の見どころも聞いたりしました。あまり見れないらしい貴重なマングースもちらっと見ることができてラッキーでした。カヤックに乗るのが初めてでしたが、疲れないくらいの速度でゆったりと周りの景色を見ながら楽しめました。また参加したいです。

The young staff members had fun conversations and interesting discussions that were educational. By the end of the paddling session, I had improved.

若いお兄さんスタッフの方は楽しい話、勉強になる話が面白かった。
パドリングは、終わる頃には上達してた。

It was my first time kayaking, but thanks to the instructor who taught us very carefully, it became a valuable experience. I couldn't see the sunset, but it was still enough. I want to try again!

初めてのカヤックでしたが、インストラクターの方が非常に丁寧に教えてくださったおかげで貴重な体験になりました。
サンセットは見られませんでしたが、十分でした。
またリベンジしたいです

I had a once in a life time experience interacting with dolphins at Motobu Genki Village! While a lot of people will head for Churaumi aquarium to watch whales and fish in big tanks, I opted for a closer encounter with these wonderful sea creatures. It is worth noting that the dolphins at Genki Village live in the actual sea, albeit in designated sections. Swimming with dolphins has been a childhood dream of mine, and I still can’t believe that it actually came true. Not only that, but I was in such luck that I was the only person in my booked time slot - meaning the very nice and skilled trainer directed all her attention to me. And I got to swim with the dolphin in question, Money - four whole times. Twice hanging onto her top fin and twice over her belly when she swam upside down. The trainer and Money put on quite the show, with funny tricks and mirroring theatrics which I also was a participant in. I had to the best time, and I have videos from the event of me laughing excitedly like a little kid. Besides the main activity itself, I got to loan a wet suit (winter time), crocs and a towel, and the changing room had lockers and the showers schampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The only thing I had to bring myself was a bathing suit - it could not have been smoother! I am so so happy to have experienced this! If you are in doubt, don’t be - just do it - you won’t regret it!

The guide was very kind, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind! The sunset was incredibly beautiful✨✨ Thank you very much😊

ガイドさんも、とっても優しくて
安心して楽しめました！
夕日めっちゃ綺麗でした✨✨
ありがとうございました😊

I appreciate the staff's enthusiasm in providing guidance and suggestions regardless of the circumstances. Thank you for the enjoyable day experience!

スタッフの心意気に感謝します
楽しい１日体験ありがとうございました！

Since it was winter and the water temperature was low, I was unsure until the last minute about whether to participate, but I'm glad I did. The waves were high, and I was a bit scared, so I mostly clung to the float, but I was happy to make it to the cave safely. The wonderful guide was very attentive from start to finish. In the evening, I enjoyed butter-grilled fish at the place the brother recommended! I heard he will be training in Palau, so please take care and have a great time!

冬なので水温が低く、直前までどうしようか迷っていましたが、参加してよかったです。波が高くてビビッてしまい、ほとんど浮き輪につかまったままでしたが、無事に洞窟まで行けて嬉しかったです。素敵なガイドさんが最初から最後までとても丁寧に対応してくださいました。夜はお兄さんに教えてもらったお魚やさんでバター焼きいただきました！！パラオでの修行をされるそうで、お気をつけて行ってきてください！！

My 4-year-old son and I went snorkeling for the first time with his mother! The staff were very kind to my son, making it a wonderful experience. We saw lots of fish, and my son seemed to have a great time, so we were very satisfied. Thank you!

４歳の息子と母と初めてのシュノーケリング！
お店の方も息子に親切にしてくださりとても良い経験になりました。
お魚もいっぱい見れて息子も楽しそうで大満足。
ありがとうございました！

I participated with a friend. I have experienced introductory diving several times before, but I have never been able to dive in such clear waters, so I was very moved!

Even beginners receive careful support, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. I want to go again as soon as possible...! (laughs)

What stands out in my memory is, without a doubt, the blue sea and the crystal-clear water that I have never seen before! I was able to see countless fish and coral up close, making it a wonderful experience.

The staff were all cheerful and kind, creating a very lovely memory. I would definitely like to do this again!

友人と2人で参加しました。
今まで体験ダイビングは何回か経験していますが、ここまで透明な海で、しっかりと潜れたことはなかったので、とても感動しました！

初心者でも丁寧にサポートしていただけるので、安心して楽しむことができます。
もうすぐにでもまた行きたい、、！笑

記憶にしっかりと残っているのはなんと言ってもいままで見たことのない青い海と透き通る水！無数の魚や珊瑚を間近で見ることができ、とてもいい体験になりました。

スタッフの方もみんな明るく親切で、とても素敵な思い出になりました。またぜひ、お願いしたいです！

It was our first trip to Okinawa, and we were all really looking forward to the snorkeling tour as a family. However, the weather was bad on the day of the tour, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, making it a tough environment for small children. I ended up feeling seasick, and my son started crying, which made it very disappointing that we couldn't enjoy the ocean together for his first time.

I was also anxious because they only asked for our shoe sizes and provided almost no explanation on how to use the equipment or swim. Although they advertised that it was suitable for children from 3 years old and that even those who are not good at swimming would be fine, I felt that the content was a bit challenging for small children and beginners.

Additionally, the transparent floatation device mentioned in the rental section was not available. Instead, we received a regular black float. I regretted not preparing something for my son to see underwater.

There was a staff member who was very kind and attentive to my son, and I am truly grateful to them. However, I was shocked and frightened when another staff member shouted, "Don't just focus on one family! The parents are here, so leave it to them!" This was very surprising and disheartening, especially since it was our first time participating and there were many things we didn’t understand.

Furthermore, there was a slightly scary moment while changing. I was changing in the only place where the door could close, and another woman was being urged by a staff member to "hurry up and change" and "change inside." If she had opened the door, I would have been exposed, but thankfully, that woman refused and said "NO," which saved me. I am truly grateful for her courage at that moment.

I understand that there are aspects like the weather and sea conditions that cannot be helped. However, I believe that if there had been a bit more consideration for beginners and families with children, along with better explanations and support regarding safety and privacy, the overall impression would have been significantly different.

I wrote this review with the hope that others who are participating for the first time with small children will be able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I sincerely thank the staff who treated us kindly, the captain, and all the participants who were on board with us.

初めての沖縄旅行で、家族みんなでとても楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングツアーでした。
当日は天候が悪く、船の揺れがとても強くて、小さな子どもにはかなり厳しい環境でした。私自身も船酔いしてしまい、息子は泣いてしまって、初めての海を楽しませてあげられなかったのがとても残念でした。

足のサイズを聞かれただけで、器具の使い方や泳ぎ方の説明がほとんどなかったのも不安でした。
「3歳からOK」「泳ぎが苦手な方も安心」とありましたが、実際は小さな子どもや初心者には少し難しい内容に感じました。

また、貸し出し欄に書いてあった透明な浮き袋というものもありませんでした。普通の真っ黒な浮き輪です。
こんな事なら息子が海の中を見れるように
何かしら用意したのになと残念でした。

スタッフの中には息子を気遣って優しくついてくださった方もいて、その方には心から感謝しています。
ですが、別のスタッフの方が「ひと家族だけにつくな！親がいるんだから親に任せろ！」と大声で言った時は、とても驚き、怖さを感じました。初めての参加で分からないことも多かったので、その一言がとてもショックでした。

さらに、着替えの際にも少し怖い場面がありました。私が唯一扉が閉まる場所で着替えていた時、他の女性がスタッフの方から「早く着替えて」「中で着替えろ」と促されていました。もしその方が扉を開けていたら、私は全裸を晒してしまうところでしたが、その女性が「NO」と拒否してくれたおかげで助かりました。あの時の勇気に本当に感謝しています。

天候や海の状況など、どうにもならない部分もあると思います。
ですが、もう少し初心者や子ども連れへの配慮、説明や安全・プライバシー面のサポートがあれば、印象は大きく変わっていたと思います。

このレビューは、同じように小さな子どもを連れて初めて参加する方が、安心して楽しめるようになってほしいという思いで書いています。
優しく接してくださったスタッフの方、船長さん、そして一緒に乗船されていた参加者の皆さんには心から感謝しています。

Despite the inconvenience caused on our part, they responded pleasantly without any signs of annoyance. There were a few waves, but my one-year-old child seemed to enjoy themselves the entire time, so I'm glad we had the experience!

こちらの都合でご迷惑をおかけしたにも関わらず、全く嫌な顔をせず気持ちよく対応していただきました。
波は少しありましたが、1歳になったばかりの子どもも終始楽しそうにしていたので、体験できて良かったです！

Sea turtles occasionally appeared, creating a world reminiscent of Ryugu Castle. During the middle of the three-day weekend, we were blessed with good weather, and we were guided to beautiful coral reef areas that weren't too cold. It was a wonderful day with safety management and supervision in place.

海亀さんも時々現れ、琉宮城のような世界でした◎
三連休中日天気にも恵まれまして、まだ寒くもなく綺麗なサンゴ礁海域に案内していただきました。安全管理監視していただきながら素敵な
１日でした。

Originally, there were four of us, but one son was down, so we participated with three! The staff calmly organized everything, which was just right for our impatient selves! We arrived in the morning, quickly put on our wetsuits, and moved to the boat. That day, the waves were high, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, making me feel a bit nauseous... However, the staff were very attentive, which I really appreciated! When we reached the spot, they provided thorough explanations and guidance. I swam quite well, even more than I expected. My friend's son, who joined us, was full of energy and was really impressed! At one point, the waves were big, and I felt like I might throw up due to being hungry, but I managed to hold it together just in time. We returned to the boat. We saw quite a few fish. The staff were kind, which made the experience really great! Thank you very much!

今回、当初は４人でしたが１人息子がダウンで３人にて参加！
スタッフの方はたんたんと段取りをしてくれて、せっかちな自分たちには
ちょうどいい感じ！午前着して、すぐにウエットスーツ、を着てボートに移動
その日は波が高くて、ボートの揺れっぷりで　やや気持ち悪い、、、、
しかしながら、スタッフの方たちがすごく気にしてくれてありがたかった！
ポイントにつくと、すごくしっかり説明してくれながら案内してくれた
私は体力的にこの半分でもよいくらいしっかり泳ぎました
参加した、友人の息子は元気いっぱいで感動してました！途中波が大きくて
腹ペコ参加の為吐きそうになりましたが、ギリギリでセーフ　ボートにて
