All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

Recently, six high school boys participated. I'm grateful that we could later see photos of them having fun. The communication beforehand was smooth, which was helpful. Thank you very much for this opportunity!

先日は高校男子6名で参加させていただきました
たのしそうにしている写真も後から見ることができ感謝です。
事前のやりとりもスムーズでたすかりました。
このたびはありがとうございました♪

- The weather was nice, the sea was calm and beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish.

- The boat during the trip had almost no walls or windows, providing excellent ventilation, so I think there's not much to worry about even if you can't wear a mask when wet.

- There were plenty of staff members, and their service was good.

- The complimentary tea was cold and delicious.

- Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, so they provided a coral introduction tour instead.

- The last shower was not in a private room but open, over your swimsuit.

- There was only one simple changing room with a curtain, which caused a long line. Due to time constraints, the boat started moving before everyone finished changing, so if you can, it might be a good idea to bring a wrap towel. (For those with transportation included, changing on the boat is essential since you go straight to the bus after returning to the port.)

- I was hoping for a photo gift with a coupon (for a blog post), but it seems not everyone received one. They took our photo, but it wasn't uploaded. I regretted leaving my phone on the boat thinking it would be fine if they were taking photos.

- The seats were wet? Water was coming out? So it's safer to wear clothes that can get a little wet.

- Smoking is allowed on the second floor during break time (free time).

○
・天気良く海も穏やかでキレイで良かったです。魚もたくさんみれました。

・移動中の船は壁？窓？がほぼなく風通し抜群だったので、濡れている時のマスクをつけれない状況でもあまり心配なくすむと思います

・スタッフさんの人数も多く対応も良かったです

・サービスのお茶が冷えていて美味しかったです

・海ガメは残念ながらみれなかった為、途中からサンゴ紹介ツアーをしてくれました

△
・最後のシャワーは個室ではなくオープンで水着の上から

・カーテンの簡易更衣室が一つしかないため大行列に。時間の関係と思われますが全員が着替え終わる前に船が走り出したので、持って行ける方は巻きタオルがあってもいいかもしれません。(送迎付は港に戻ってすぐバスにのる為船上での着替え必須)

・クーポンの写真プレゼント(ブログアップ)を期待していたのですが全員という訳ではないそうです。写真を撮って頂いたのですが、私たちの分はアップされませんでした。
撮ってもらえるならいいかと船上に携帯を置いて行ってしまい非常に後悔しました。

・座席が濡れている？水が出てくる？ので私服も多少濡れても大丈夫な物が無難です

・2階では休憩中(自由時間)喫煙可能

I was able to go deeper than I had expected, and it was a very satisfying plan. The guides were also very easy to talk to.

思っていたより深いところまで行かせてもらうことができ、大満足のプランでした。
ガイドさんもとても話しやすい雰囲気の方々でした。

The tour itself was truly wonderful, with beautiful seas, plenty of fish to see, and we even got to meet sea turtles. I was very satisfied. The sea was very beautiful, and it was great to be able to rent fins and a snorkel for the whole day.

However, I was disappointed that the curry dish at lunch was not clean and felt very unsanitary. Additionally, I felt reassured about the infection control measures since we were dining outside, but it was very disappointing that there were no available seats, and I ended up sharing a table with strangers.

ツアー自体は、本当に海が綺麗で、魚もたくさん見れ、ウミガメとも会え、大満足でした。
海もとても綺麗だし、フィンやシュノーケルを1日レンタルできて、とても良かったです。
残念なところは、お昼のカレーの器の汚れが落ちてなく、とても不衛生に感じました。
また、外での食事というところで感染対策として安心していましたが、席が空いておらず、知らない人たちと相席になってしまった所が非常に残念でした。

I received a call that the jet for marine sports was out of order and could not be used, just two hours before departure. They did offer a discount on the price, but it was a minimal amount. The late notice was disappointing, especially since I was really looking forward to it.

当日の出発2時間前にマリンスポーツをするためのジェットが故障して利用できない旨の電話。
料金は当然割り引きしてもらったが、微々たる金額。
連絡が遅く、せっかく楽しみにしていたのに直前になってがっかりした。

I was worried about kayaking for the first time, but thanks to the kind staff who took care of me, I was able to enjoy kayaking. The sunset viewed from the sea was exceptional. The staff took photos for me and said they would send them later, so I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

初めてのカヤックで心配でしたが、親切なスタッフさんが気にしてくれたお陰で、楽しくカヤックをすることができました。海の上から見るサンセットは格別でした。スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれていて、後日送ってくれるとのことでしたので写真を見るのが楽しみです。

I was guided by Jamie. They were very kind, and I truly made wonderful memories! The other staff and the captain were also very enjoyable and kind, and I have only good memories! It was a tour that makes me want to participate again! Thank you for the fun time!

ジェイミーさんに案内してもらいました。とても親切で本当に楽しい思い出ができました！
その他のスタッフさん、船長さんもとても楽しく優しい方ばかりで、いい思い出しかありません！
また参加したいと思えるツアーでした！楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

I had a wonderful time with a friendly guide. At 7 o'clock, there were still few people around, so I think it was more relaxed and enjoyable than later times. I'm also satisfied with the photos. This is a tour I can recommend to everyone!

優しいガイドさんと楽しい時間を過ごしました。
7時はまだ周りに人が少なく、後の時間よりは落ち着いて楽しむことができると思います。
写真の出来も満足です。みんなにオススメできるツアーです！

I had a great time even in just half a day. Since it wasn't too far from Naha, I didn't experience any seasickness. I could see a lot of fish right near the docked boat. I joined a tour to look for turtles, but I thought it might have been nice to just relax and snorkel near the boat. I noticed that the staff checked the number of participants at key points, which showed they were attentive to safety.

半日でも充分楽しめました。那覇からあまり遠くないところだったので、船酔いもありませんでした。停泊した船のすぐ近くからたくさん魚が見えました。亀を探しに行くツアーに参加しましたが、船の近くでまったりシュノーケルだけしていてもよかったかなと思いました。要所要所でスタッフのみなさんは人数確認をして安全には気をつかっていると思いました。

I went to Okinawa for a long summer vacation from the end of July to the first week of August. I participated in various famous beaches and tours, but this tour was definitely the best. The staff had a scary appearance, but they were all very kind. On the way back, the captain invited the little children to the cockpit for an experience they usually can't have. My daughter is in the first grade, and this became her most enjoyable memory in Okinawa. We were blessed with good weather, and we even got to see turtles, it was just amazing!! I recommend this to anyone who is unsure about what to do in Okinawa!!

７月末から８月１週目まで長期の夏季休暇で沖縄に行きました。
色々な有名なビーチやツアーもいくつか参加しましたが、このツアーが断然トップでした。
スタッフの方々は見た目は怖そうな印象でしたが、みんなとても親切な方でした。帰り道に船長？の方が小さい子供たちを操縦席に招いて普段できない体験をしてくれました。うちの娘は小学校１年生ですが、沖縄で一番楽しかった思い出になりました。
天気にも恵まれ、カメさんにも会えたし、もう最高です！！
沖縄で何をするか迷っている方におすすめします！！

I participated in a half-day introductory diving course on August 6, 2022 (Friday). It was my first time diving, but thanks to the clear guidance and thoughtful words from the staff, I was able to experience diving with peace of mind. I had no confidence in my swimming skills at all, but I forgot those worries and was able to enjoy the experience smoothly, which made me very satisfied.

I was considering doing a full-day course instead of a half-day, but I ended up feeling more tired than I expected. It seemed that some people were feeling unwell due to seasickness and fatigue, so for those experiencing it for the first time, a half-day course might be sufficient.

2022年08月06日(金)に午前からの体験ダイビング半日コースに参加しました。
初めてのダイビングでしたが、スタッフの方々からの分かりやすいご指導やお気遣いの言葉を頂けていたので安心してダイビングを体験できました。
泳ぎに自信は全くありませんでしたがそんな心配も忘れてスムーズに体験できたのでとても満足しました。

どうせ体験するなら半日ではなく1日コースにしようと考えていましたが、半日でも予想以上に疲れてしまい、船酔いや疲労などで体調が悪くなってる方も一部いたようなので初めての体験する方は半日コースで充分かもしれないですね。

I came to Okinawa for diving and snorkeling in Kerama. The weather was great, and both the sky and the sea were very blue and beautiful. I was really glad to see a sea turtle. However, at the end, I was told something unpleasant by a staff member, which ruined the beautiful sea experience and turned my memories of Kerama into something disappointing.

慶良間でダイビングとシュノーケルを目的に沖縄に来ました。天気がよくて、空も海もとても青くてキレイで、ウミガメを見ることが出来て本当に来てよかったと思いました。ただ最後にスタッフの方に嫌なことを言われ、せっかくのキレイな海が台無しになり、慶良間が嫌な思い出になってしまったのがとても残念です。

Thanks to the very friendly and cheerful staff, we had a wonderful time. Although we couldn't see the sunset as beautifully as we had hoped due to the cloudy sky, we were able to see a large rainbow arch. Most importantly, the children seemed to enjoy seeing the beautiful corals in the shallow waters, as well as fish like the blue damselfish and even a lionfish.

とてもフレンドリーで明るいスタッフのおかげで楽しい時間が過ごせました。
曇り空で思ったほどのサンセットは見られませんでしたが、大きな虹のアーチが見られたし、何より浅瀬の美しいサンゴやルリスズメダイなどの魚、ミノカサゴまで見られて、子どもたちは楽しかったようです。

I had high expectations for Kerama, but maybe because I used to dive when I was younger, I wasn't really moved by the beauty of the ocean... I think the sea in Miyako Island is still more stunning?! It was great to jump off the second floor of the boat and that the boat had a slide! I wish there had been more introductions to the marine life from the guide, though—most of the time we were just free diving. With so many participants, it's understandable that there were about ten people per guide...

慶良間に対する期待値が高かったのか、ダイビングを若い頃やっていたからなのか、海の綺麗さにはいまいち感動ってモノがなかった…宮古島の方がやっぱり海の綺麗さはうわっまっているかな？！船の2階から飛び込んだり、船にスライダーが付いていたのは良かったね！　もっとガイドさんによる海の生き物紹介があっても良かったかなぁ〜ほとんどフリーでやっていたので。参加人数が多いので1人のガイドに10人弱だと仕方がないか…

I participated in snorkeling in the Kerama Islands. The staff provided thorough explanations and guidance, which was great. They also took photos, so I have some nice memories. I felt very refreshed and would love to join again.

慶良間諸島のシュノーケルに参加しました。スタッフの方々も丁寧な説明と案内でよかったです。写真も取ってくださり記念も残りました。とてもリフレッシュできたのでまた参加したいです。

The Kerama Islands were beyond my imagination. I was lucky to encounter clownfish and sea turtles. I got so caught up in chasing them. I had a great time. I took a lot of photos, which will become wonderful memories. Next time, please let me join a full-day tour.

想像以上の慶良間ブル－
ニモやウミガメにもあえてラッキーでした
夢中で追いかけてしまいました
とても楽しめました
写真もたくさん撮っていただき想い出になります
今度は一日ツア－に参加させてください

The staff were kind, and I had a great time snorkeling. I didn't get to see any sea turtles this time, but I would like to participate again if I have the chance.

スタッフの方も親切で楽しいシュノーケリングができました。
今回はウミガメに会えませんでしたが、また機会があれば参加したいです。

I participated with my 14-year-old child. The guide was cheerful and had a passion for the Okinawan sea. I would like to participate again.

14歳の子どもと参加しました。ガイドの方が、明るくて、また沖縄の海にパッションもっていました。また、参加したいです。

This was my first trip to Okinawa, and one of my goals was to see a sea turtle, so I joined a snorkeling tour with Veltra on July 5. I chose Veltra because the tour visits three snorkeling spots and allows plenty of time, which increases the chances of seeing a sea turtle. They also provide everything from the snorkeling gear to lunch, drinks, and towels, making it easy to participate without bringing much.

I was worried when I didn’t see any sea turtles at the first two spots, but at the third spot, I was thrilled to finally see one! It was a moment that made me feel the guides' determination to help us see a sea turtle.

We could also take a shower on the boat, and valuables could be stored at the shop before departure, so I felt safe participating alone. As a man in my 50s, I appreciated that there were instructors available for beginners, which added to my comfort.

The photos were taken by the instructors and I downloaded them later, making for a wonderful keepsake. I’ve also booked a tour for my trip to Hokkaido in September! I will continue to use their services in the future.

今回は初めての沖縄旅行で、目的のひとつでもあるウミガメに会うために、7月5日にveltraさんのツアー（シュノーケル）に参加しました。
veltraさんを選んだ理由は、シュノーケルのポイントを3箇所周り、時間もたっぷり取ってもらっているため、ウミガメに会える確率が高いことと、シュノーケルセットから昼食、飲み物、タオルまで用意されていて、手ぶらで参加できる気軽さで選ばせていただきました。
今回2箇所のポイントでウミガメに会えず、ダメかなと思った3箇所目のポイントで、見事！ウミガメに会え、テンション爆上がりでした！！
ウミガメに会わせたいという、ガイドさんたちの執念を感じた瞬間でした。
船でシャワーも浴びられ、貴重品は出発時ショップで預かって貰えるため、一人での参加も安心して出来ました。
当方50代オヤジですが、初心者の方にはインストラクターさんが付いていてくれるため、その点も安心です。
写真はインストラクターさんが撮ったものを後でダウンロードしたもので、大切な記念にさせてもらいます。
9月の北海道の旅行もツアー予約しました！
今後も利用させていただきます。

The infection control measures were in place, so I felt safe participating.

This time, we participated as a pair, and neither of us were good swimmers, plus it was our first time entering the ocean, so we were very anxious. However, the instructor guided us to the cave, which made us feel at ease.

After a while, we were able to swim without assistance, allowing us to slowly enjoy the underwater scenery and the cave. They took some amazing photos for us, and it seemed like there were no other customers around, so it felt almost like a private experience. We truly made wonderful memories. Thank you!

感染対策が取られていて安心して参加できます。

今回2人で参加しましたが、どちらも泳ぎは得意ではなくて海に入るのも初めてでとても不安でしたが、インストラクターの方が洞窟まで引っ張って行ってくれたので安心出来ました。
途中から補助なしで泳げたのでゆっくり海の中や洞窟を見て楽しむ事が出来ました。
めちゃくちゃ良い写真も撮ってくださり、また
たまたま他のお客さんが居てない時間だったようでほぼ貸切状態で本当にいい思い出ができました。
ありがとうございました！

The staff were kind and attentive, which made the experience安心して体験することができました！The kayaking was longer than I expected, providing a good workout. The Blue Cave was as beautiful as I had anticipated, and I would love to go again.

スタッフの方が親切丁寧に案内してくれて安心して体験することができました！カヤックは思いの外漕ぐ距離が長くて良い運動になりました(^^) 青の洞窟は予想通り綺麗でまたいきたいなと思いました。

I participated in the 7 AM session. I attended with my child, and they seemed to really enjoy it and expressed a desire to go snorkeling again. The initial experience significantly influences whether they want to do it again, so I was glad we could have this experience here. It was early in the morning, and I almost thought we would be late, but the staff were very accommodating, and we had a valuable experience. If I have the opportunity to come again, I would like to use this service again to avoid any unpleasant experiences elsewhere.

朝7時の回に参加しました。
子どもと二人で参加しましたが、とても気に入ったらしくまたシュノーケリングやりたいと言ってくれました。
最初にどういう体験するかでその後もやりたいと言ってくれるかどうかはかなり変わるので、ここで体験できて良かったと思いました。
朝早くて危うく遅刻しそうになりましたが、丁寧に対応いただき、貴重な体験ができました。また来る機会があったら、他のところで変な思いをしたくないので再度利用したいと思います。

It was our first time snorkeling, and although the whole family was a bit nervous, our guide was very friendly and explained everything clearly. Along the way, we enjoyed fun conversations and admired beautiful fish, and before we knew it, we arrived at the Blue Cave! We were able to physically feel the wonderful mysteries of nature and see breathtaking views!

After that, we went sea kayaking! Paddling over the beautiful, vast ocean, we encountered stunning corals and fish, making it an absolutely amazing experience. My family and I talked about how we definitely want to do this again! I highly recommend it to everyone!

はじめての、シュノーケリングで家族皆緊張もありましたが、大変わかりやすく気さくにガイドしていただき、道中も楽しい話や綺麗魚を観ながら、あっという間に、青の洞窟へ！
素晴らしい自然の神秘を体で感じ、絶景をみることができました！
その後はシーカヤック！美しく広い海の上をカヤックで進み、美しいサンゴや魚達と会えて本当に素晴らしい体験の連続でした。次も必ずお願いしたいと家族皆で話をしていました！
皆さん、本当にオススメです！

This place has a lot of high ratings, but I should have checked the reviews on Jalan as well.

Good points:
- The staff was very friendly and there were enough of them.

Bad points:
- There were about 40 participants, and there weren't enough seats on the boat.
- Even though we were supposed to wear life jackets or wetsuits, we had to wear wetsuits without any explanation, and I felt unwell wearing a mask in the high humidity. If I had known, I would have brought a T-shirt or something.
- I expected about 10 photos, but we only got one.
- The foreign staff's instructions were unclear and kept changing, so I ended up confused.
- The coral reef was beautiful, but there were only a few fish.
- Some guide staff talked to us, while others were silent.
- It said drinks were free, but it was just water, so bringing sports drinks is a must.
- On the way back, we changed in a cramped changing room on the boat that swayed and had no windows. It was sweaty, and with 40 people using it one after another, I was worried about COVID-19 transmission.
- Half of the participants were down and out shortly after we started. I ended up sleeping on the second floor of the boat, making the return trip even more cramped.

こちらは高評価が多いけれどじゃらんの口コミも見るべきでした。

良かった点
・スタッフがとても親切で人数は十分にいた

悪かった点
・参加は40人ほどで船の座席が足らない
・ライフジャケットorウェットスーツ着用だったのに説明なくウェットスーツを着なければならず、高湿度の中マスクもして具合が悪くなった。知っていたらTシャツなど持っていったのに
・写真が10枚程度のはずが1枚だった
・外国人スタッフの言ってることが2転3転して結局どっちかわからず
・サンゴ礁は綺麗だが魚はチラホラ
・ガイドスタッフによって話してくれる人もいれば、無言の人もいた
・ドリンク無料とあるが水なのでスポーツドリンク持参必須
・帰りは船上の更衣室で着替えるが、2つで狭く揺れ、窓なし。汗だくだし40人が次々使うのでコロナの感染が心配
・参加者の半分は開始早々あっという間にダウン。船の2階で寝ていて帰路余計狭かった。

I am a bit of a coward, but there were many tour guides accompanying us, so I was able to enjoy marine sports with peace of mind.

私はビビりなのですが、添乗員さんもたくさんついてくださっていたので、安心してマリンスポーツを楽しむことができました。

The weather in Naha is perfect,
Let's go snorkeling!

Our destination is the meeting point at Shurijo Castle,
Feeling the seasonal breeze as we walk!

I'm a bit worried because I forgot my motion sickness medication,
Sure enough, five minutes after departure, I got seasick.
The coral reef we aim for feels so far away!

The cold barley tea provided was refreshing,
I drank it all at once, and my mood cleared up!
Heading towards the cheerful home of the sea turtles!

Finally encountered a cute sea turtle,
It was just sleeping, and it was so soothing.

If you're coming to Naha, this half-day tour is a lot of fun,
I highly recommend it!

那覇の天気は最高、
シュノーケルにさぁ行こう！

目指すは集合場所の三重城、
歩きながら感じる季節風！

酔い止め忘れたちょっと心配、
出航5分案の定、船酔い。
目指す珊瑚礁、ほど遠い！

用意されていた冷たい麦茶、
一気に爽快、気分はクリア！
陽気に向かうウミガメの住処！

ついに遭遇かわいいウミガメ
普通に寝てた、癒されました。

那覇にくるなら半日で楽しい
こちらのツアーはマジでおすすめ！

I have participated in various activities so far, but this was the most thorough tour with detailed explanations and guidance. I attended with my 6-year-old child, who was hesitant about wearing the wetsuit and goggles since it was their first activity. However, the guide was very considerate both in the sea and on the boat, and we received great care. Thank you very much.

The boat entry was for snorkeling, so we swam in a limited area. After a break, during the second entry, the waves were moving quickly, and we ended up getting back on the boat right away. The boat also had a slide, making it a tour that families with children can enjoy with peace of mind.

今までさまざまなアクティビティに参加しましたが、事前説明や案内などいちばん丁寧なツアーでした。
6歳の子を連れての参加で、初めてのアクティビティで慣れずウェットスーツやゴーグルを嫌がったのですが、ガイドのお姉さんが海でも船でもずっと気遣ってくださり、大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。
ボートエントリーはシュノーケルだったので狭い範囲での遊泳で、一度休憩した後の二回目のエントリーは波の動きが早く流されてしまうためすぐ船に上がって終わりました。
船には滑り台もあり、子連れも安心して体験できるツアーでした。

Participation at the end of June. The clarity was beyond my expectations, comparable to that of the Big Island of Hawaii. I want to go again. Next time, I want to try diving as well. It was my first time wearing a full mask, and it was quite good.

6月末の参加。想像以上の透明度はハワイ島並み。また行きたい。次はダイビングも挑戦したい。フルマスク初めて着用、なかなか良かった。

I think it's an activity that anyone can enjoy. I had so much fun that I regret not having tried it before. It was something I had never considered, but with the prior practice and explanations, I was able to easily get into it. The atmosphere of the banyan tree and the sudden downpour were also great, providing a nice cool down for the body. The staff were young, but they explained things clearly and were very considerate, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind.

誰でも楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。今まで挑戦しなかったことを悔やむくらい楽めましたよ。やらず嫌いというか選択肢にない遊びでしたが、事前の練習とお話でわかりやすく入り込めた感覚です。
ガジュマルの木の雰囲気や突然のスコールがまた良く、からだのクールダウンにもなりました。
従業員の方は若い方でしたが、教え方がわかりやすくとても気遣い頂き、安心して楽しめました。

I participated with my partner! The staff were all kind and wonderful. The boat rocked quite a bit, but I was fine since I took motion sickness medication!

I signed up for the sea turtle exploration tour, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles... It's a bit disappointing, but I guess that's the nature of wildlife! (laughs) I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting them next time♪

パートナーと参加しました！スタッフの方はみんな優しく、素敵な方ばかりでした。船は結構揺れましたが、酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でした！

ウミガメ探索ツアーを申し込んだのですが、ウミガメには出逢えずでちょっと残念でした...野生のものなのでしょうがないですね!(笑)次こそ出会えることを楽しみにしてます♪
