All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I felt reassured participating in the tour as the staff was energetic, friendly, and very experienced in dealing with tourists. During the snorkeling, I was able to see various types of fish up close, which was great. Next time, I would like to try not only snorkeling but also diving in the ocean. While kayaking, I enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa while chatting with the guide.

元気もノリもよく、観光客に対する対応もとても手慣れている様子で安心してツアーに参加できました。
シュノーケリングでは様々な種類の魚を間近で見ることができてのよかったです。次はシュノーケルだけでなく、海の中を潜る体験をしてみたいです。
カヤックはガイドさんとお話ししながら沖縄のきれいな海を楽しむことができました。

I had a really fun experience! The guide was a professional who kept us entertained. I was worried about the weather, but we were able to enjoy great views and have fun. They took a lot of photos for us and shared them quickly, which made it easy and enjoyable. I definitely want to do it again!

すごく楽しい体験ができました！ガイドさんも楽しませてくれるプロでした。天気が心配でしたが十分いい景色を見られて楽しく遊べました。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、さくっと共有してもらって、気軽に、楽しめて良かったです。またやりたいなぁと思います。

Great trip. Welcome to join this trip. Nice travel.

Great trip. Welcome to join this trip.
Nice travel

Such a wonderful time. Definitely should be at the top of the list if you're going to do anything here in Japan. Everything is pretty much set up great. All the information is there on the website as to what you need to bring and such. Communication was amazing too, if you're afraid of not understanding anything, the staff was polite and helped in every possible way.

I was impressed by the clarity of the ocean. I obtained my diving license 23 years ago, but since my last entry was 15 years ago, I was worried, so I signed up for an introductory dive. I was able to do well on my first attempt, so I was allowed to do two additional dives, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa that I had always admired.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that there are also programs for divers who are challenging themselves after a long time.

Although my diving skills were not great, I am grateful for the careful guidance and support from the instructor who accompanied me. Thank you, Ito-san.

　海の透明度に感激しました。ライセンスを取って23年ですが最後のエントリーが15年前で心配だったので体験ダイビングで申し込みました。1回目うまく出来たのでその後2回の追加ダイブさせてもらい憧れだった沖縄の海を堪能できました。
　スタッフの方に聞くと久々挑戦のダイバー用の企画もあるとのことでした。
　下手くそなダイブでしたがお付き合いいただいたインストラクターの方の丁寧なご指導とガイドにに感謝しております。伊藤さんありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, but the instructor explained things clearly and made the experience enjoyable with some humor.

残念ながら夕日は見ることができませんでしたが、インストラクターの方が分かりやすく説明をして下さり、笑いも交えたお話をしながらゆったりと楽しめる事が出来ました。

On the day of the trip, I received a notification that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, and I considered canceling. However, since we had already made it partway, we decided to go snorkeling instead.

I was surprised by the vibrant colors and the number of fish, which exceeded my expectations. The guide was really kind, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

Next time, I look forward to planning another trip to Okinawa and hopefully visiting the Blue Cave.

当日、青の洞窟へは波が高くて行けれないという連絡をいただき、キャンセルすることも考えましたが、途中まで行っていた事もあり、シュノーケリング をすることにしました。
想像以上の色とりどりの魚とその数にびっくりしました。案内の方も本当に親切で、楽しい時間となりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は青の洞窟へ行けることを楽しみにまた沖縄旅行を計画したいと思います。

We experienced this as a family of four, including young children. It was their first time, but the instructor explained everything clearly. The kids quickly got used to it and were able to enjoy the natural surroundings of the river! In February, it was quite windy, but a mountain parka was sufficient. When the sun came out, it was warm (or hot?).

I came in regular clothes, but they kindly lent me a raincoat, which was a great help. They are very kind and attentive, so I recommend this for beginners as well. I would like to come back again.

低学年含む家族4人で体験しました。もちろん子供たちは初めてでしたが、インスタラクターの方が分かりやすく説明して下さいました。子供たちもすぐに慣れて、川の自然を満喫しながら楽しむことができました！2月、風が強かったですが、マウンテンパーカーがあれば十分です。日が差すと暖かい(暑い？)です。
普段着で来てしまいましたが、カッパ(下)を貸して下さったので助かりました。親切、丁寧に対応して下さいますので、初心者の方にもオススメです。また来たいと思います。

Amazing experience!! The dolphins were so sweet and friendly. The staff and trainers were very professional and kind. We loved every second and wished it went on for longer!

Changing room and shower facilities are available on-site which is very convenient and clean. They also have lockers to store your belongings (100yen coin required as deposit). The activity started with a classroom briefing then followed by the dolphin experience. We were introduced to and played with two dolphins. We were able to touch their back, sides, belly and nose. They were super friendly and cute. The trainers were very patient and gave clear instructions.

They have an on-site photographer who took around 5 pictures for us. At the end of the event, you can purchase them at 1800 yen each, which we felt was experience but we bought three anyway. They didn’t give discount for buying more, which some other places do. I would recommend you bring an action cam to film the experience. We only had a hand held cam and phone so it was difficult to catch all the moments.

Overall, big thumbs up.

I was grateful that I could apply even the day before! On the day, there was hardly any wind, and it was sunny with no waves. Also, since I was the only participant during that time, I was able to receive a lot of explanations about the plants in a one-on-one setting! I was able to spend a very relaxing time leisurely. I also want to check out the recommended restaurants nearby that were suggested to me!

前日でも申し込みが可能で助かりました！
当日は風もほとんどなく晴れており波もなし。また参加した時間帯は私だけの参加でもあって、マンツーマンで植物の解説などをたくさん頂くことができました！
とてもゆったりとした時間をのんびりと過ごすことが出来ました。また合わせて教えて頂いたお店近辺のオススメ飲食店も立ち寄ってみたいと思います！

I was worried because my daughter lacked confidence in swimming, but the instructor took her with a float, so we were able to enjoy ourselves as a parent and child without any worries. The cave was beautiful, but I was also very impressed by the stunning underwater scenery on the way there. I was concerned it would be cold in the sea during mid-winter, but it was not a problem at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable and not crowded! I think it's better to bring your own bath towel.

娘が泳ぎに自信がなくて心配しましたが、インストラクターさんが浮き輪で連れていってくれるので、安心して親子で楽しむことができました。
洞窟も綺麗ですが、行くまでの海中もとても綺麗で感動しました。
真冬の海で寒いのではと心配しましたが、全く問題なく逆に空いていて快適でした！
バスタオルは持参した方が、良いと思います。

The waves were relatively rough on the day, and while we were able to see them, the time we spent observing was quite short compared to the travel time. Overall, it was a good experience, I suppose. Since it's a natural experience, luck plays a part as well. It would have been perfect if the weather had been sunny and the waves calm.

当日比較的波が荒く、見ることはできましたが、移動時間に比べて、観察できた時間はわずかでした。
体験としては良かったのかな。
やはり自然の体験なので、運もありますね。
晴れの天気で、波も穏やかなら最高でした。

I experienced kayaking for the first time, and it was so much fun! The guide was nearby to teach us, which made me feel safe! The photos turned out great, and I'm very satisfied!!!

初めてカヤックを体験しましたがとっても楽しかったです！ガイドのお兄さんも近くで教えてくれるので安心です！写真もすごくいいのばかりで大満足です！！！

I was worried that the sea in January might be cold, but I had a great time in a 5mm wetsuit and it was not cold at all. My second-grade daughter was initially scared to get in the water, but once she got used to it, she had a lot of fun and might have been the most excited of all (laughs). The winter sea has high visibility and is not crowded, so I highly recommend it! The beautiful blue color is something we won't forget, and it was a wonderful experience for both of us.

一月の海、寒いのかな…と心配していましたが、5ミリのウェットスーツで全然寒くなく楽しめました。
小2の娘も最初は入水を怖がっていましたが、慣れて来たら楽しくなって、一番はしゃいでいたかも（笑）
冬場の海、透明度も高く、混雑もしていないのでオススメです！
綺麗な青色、忘れないと、娘も言っていて、いい体験が出来ました。

staffs are friendly and spoke good English and gave us some very interesting facts about dolphin. This was my first time touching a real dolphin and it was a very unique experience. my 4 year old daughter enjoyed it very much. you can bring your own phone for photos but just dont drop it in the water.

Unfortunately, it was a drizzly day, but wearing a wetsuit helped me get used to the water temperature quickly. More than that, the cuteness of the dolphins was the best! Each dolphin had its own personality, and while learning various things, I got to touch the dolphins, swim with them, and even see them jump right in front of me. I believe this is a rare experience that you can only have here. It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth the time. With towels provided and a well-equipped changing room, I headed straight to the nearby Churaumi Aquarium after the experience.

あいにくの小雨日和、ウェットスーツを着ているのですぐに水温には慣れます。それよりもそれよりも、イルカのかわいさがサイコー！
イルカにも個性があって…といろんなことを教えてもらいつつ、イルカに触って、一緒に泳いで、つかまりながら泳いで、目の前で大ジャンプを見られて。
ここでしかできない貴重な体験だと思います。
ちょっとお高いですが、十分に価値ある時間です(^^)
タオル完備で更衣室もしっかりしているので、体験後にすぐ近くの美ら海水族館へ直行してきました。

I had no plans until I arrived, but I found this online and the reviews were good, so I signed up. It was my first experience, and I was with my child, but the guide was kind and we had a great time, so it was really wonderful.

現地に来るまでノープランでしたがネットで探して口コミも良いので申込みました。
初めての体験、子供と一緒でしたがガイドさんが親切で楽しめたので本当に良かったです。

In Okinawa, I experienced various kayaking activities such as the Blue Cave Sea Kayak and the Kiyasujigawa Mangrove Kayak. Two days later, I also tried the Okukubi River Mangrove Kayak, but it couldn't compare to the sunset kayak.

On the morning of January 3, 2020, after arriving in Okinawa, I visited the usual Naminoue Shrine for my first shrine visit of the year and then relaxed a bit at the hotel before participating in this activity.

By chance, our family was the only participants, so we had the guide all to ourselves, which made for a very meaningful time. The sunset view was stunning enough to be Instagram-worthy. I've been to Okinawa countless times, but I don't remember ever seeing such an impressive landscape. The kayaking rules for safety are strict with any operator, but the shop we joined allowed for some freedom (we could go further), which made the kids very happy.

沖縄では青の洞窟シーカヤック、慶佐次川マングローブカヤック等様々なカヤックを体験しました。
この２日後も億首川マングローブカヤックを体験しましたが、サンセットカヤックの比ではありません。
２０２０．１月３日の午前中にに沖縄に到着後、いつもの波の上神社で初詣をし、ゆったりホテルに到着後少し休んで、このアクティビティに参加。
たまたま私たちの家族一組だけの参加となりガイドさんが独り占めできとても有意義な時間が過ごせました。
夕日はインスタ映えするほどの景観、数え切れないほど沖縄に行っていますが、こんなに感動する景観を見た覚えはありません。そこにどこのカヤック業者でもルールは安全のため厳しいですが、参加したショップはある程度遊べる(遠くへ行ける)ので子どもたちも喜んでいました。

This time, I had the opportunity to experience sea kayaking and snorkeling! We were given plenty of time for both activities, and I was able to enjoy them to my satisfaction! The guide was very kind, and I felt safe while experiencing both sea kayaking and snorkeling! The photos taken were beautiful, and it was great to have those memories captured! Next, I would like to try diving!

今回はシーカヤックとシュノーケリングを体験させていただきました！
どちらもたくさん時間を取っていただき満足するまでできました！！
ガイドさんもとても親切で、安心してシーカヤックもシュノーケリングも体験できました！撮っていただいた写真もきれいで思い出を写真として残せたものとても良かったです！
次はダイビングできたいと思います！！

Since it was New Year's, there was an event at Motobu Genki Village, and the employees were friendly. However, the female staff on the ship were not friendly, and despite wearing a microphone, they hardly used it, so we could barely hear them speaking. They were kind to the children but cold to the adults. I no longer want to participate in this tour.

正月だったのでもとぶ元気村ではイベントをしており従業員も愛想が良かったです。
しかし船内の女性従業員は愛想がなくマイクを装着しているのにもかかわらず使わないから話している声がほとんど聞こえません。
子供には優しくしていますが大人には冷たいです。
もうこのツアーには参加したくありません。

Great organization and time management
Supportive when asking question about the program
Beautiful view and underwater shots

It was my first experience with sea kayaking, and I was fortunate with the weather, allowing us to go out to sea! The staff were very kind and fun, making it a truly enjoyable experience (*´ω｀*). The drone footage was even better than I expected, and I was really impressed! (I felt a bit embarrassed while filming, though, haha.) It was great to see so many fish in Okinawa while snorkeling! I was amazed when they came right up to me after I fed them!

シーカヤック初体験だったのですが、天候にも恵まれ沖まで行くことも出来ました！
スタッフの対応もとても親切で楽しい方で、とても楽しめました(*´ω｀*)
ドローン撮影が思っていたよりとても良く感動！(撮ってる時は少し恥ずかしかったです笑)
シュノーケルも沖縄の魚がたくさん見れて良かったです！
餌をあげたら目の前まで寄ってきたのは感動しました！

We participated as a family of four on January 2nd. The boat was shared with about 30 people, including those snorkeling and diving. Although it was sunny that day, the wind was cold, and it was very chilly during the ride and after getting out of the water, so I was glad I wore a down jacket. The underwater visibility was the best I've ever experienced while snorkeling! I could clearly see the seabed at 7-8 meters deep, and it felt like flying in the sky. The staff taught us the names of the fish and coral while we were snorkeling and took photos for us. On the boat, we chatted with the staff and other participants, and enjoyed lunch with Okinawan soba and shiratama zenzai. It was a fun and exhilarating day for not just the kids, but also for us as a couple. The staff were all cheerful and made sure that participants felt at ease, so I think it would be enjoyable even for solo travelers or those with children. I will definitely participate again when I go to Okinawa!

1/2に家族４人で参加しました。船はシュノーケルの人、ダイビングの人と相乗りで30人くらい乗り合わせていました。この日は晴れてはいましたが風が冷たく、移動中や海から上がった後はとても寒く、ダウンを着て行ってよかったです。海の中は今までシュノーケルした中で一番の透明度でした！7〜8mある海底もきれいに見え、空を飛んでいるようでした。スタッフの方がシュノーケル中に魚や珊瑚の名前をその都度教えてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれました。船の上ではスタッフの方や参加した方とおしゃべりしたり、ランチのソーキそばと白玉ぜんざいを食べました。子供たちだけでなく、私たち夫婦もアドレナリンが出まくった楽しくてはしゃいだ1日でした。スタッフの方たちは皆さん明るく参加した人が不安にならないように対応してくれるので、一人や子供連れの参加でも楽しく過ごせると思います。また沖縄に行ったら参加します！

The whole family (parents and 3 kids aged between 9 to 14) loved the dolphin swim experience. Am surprised it is not as well publicised as other popular activities offered in Okinawa.

The weather was favorable, and with just under ten people, it was a comfortable pace, allowing us to enjoy ourselves. It's beginner-friendly enough for children and women to participate without any issues. However, your backside and feet can get quite wet, so I recommend being adequately prepared. There were also changing rooms available.

天気にも恵まれ、人数も10人弱と適当だったため、のんびりと自分のペースで進むことができ、楽しめました。子供、女性でも普通に参加できるほど、初心者にも安心です。お尻や足は結構濡れるので、それなりの準備をおすすめします。更衣室もありました。

It was my first time, but they taught me how to stand slowly and supported me when I was riding the waves, so I had a great time! The weather was nice and it felt good! Thank you!

初めてでしたが、立ち方からゆっくり教えて頂き、波に乗る時もサポートしてくれたので、楽しめました！
天気も良くて気持ちよかったです！
ありがとうございました！

This was my second time participating, and this time I joined with my parents. The content and service were both wonderful! I definitely want to recommend this course to my friends.

2回目の参加となり、今回は両親と一緒に参加しました。
内容も接客も素晴らしい！
是非友人にも当コースを勧めたいと思います。

This was truly one of the coolest experiences of my life! It was amazing to watch marine life so closely - I could not recommend it more.
On top of that, the staff were so nice & helpful. Met many great people. Great vibes all around.
Also, please be advised - the water can get choppy, so take sea sickness medication!!

We participated as a family of four with our two elementary school-aged sons. Due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Grotto, but instead, we were able to go snorkeling at a nearby beach. In a way, snorkeling in such a wavy sea might have been a rare experience. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable, so all the kids had a great time.

The only downside was that we couldn't borrow towels. We had brought some just in case, so it worked out.

小学生の息子2人と家族4人で参加しました。
天候の影響で青の洞窟には行けなかったのですが、そのかわりに近くのビーチでシュノーケリングが出来ました。逆に、あんなに波のある海でシュノーケリング出来たのは貴重な体験だったかもしれません。ガイドさんもとても親切で知識も豊富なので子供みんな楽しめました。

残念だったのはタオルが借りられなかった事。念の為用意していったのでなんとかなりましたが。
