All Reviews for Snorkeling

I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but I was able to swim in the sea at Cape Manzamo! I also got to see clownfish! Thank you for such a valuable experience! I was a bit disappointed that although it said towels were free, we only received two towels for three people.

青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、真栄田岬の海に入れました！クマノミを見る事も出来ました！とても貴重な経験ありがとうございました！タオル無料と書いてあったのですが、3名で申し込んで2枚しか頂けなかったところだけ残念でした。

Since I was traveling to Okinawa, I decided to participate in snorkeling. With a range of ages from second graders to 65 years old, and most being first-timers, I was particular about finding a shop with a private guide. Additionally, since we had a large group, I wanted to keep costs down, and I also looked for a place that could take plenty of photos.

Ultimately, it was a great choice of shop. Our guide, Mayu, was really cute and attentive to the kids, which made me feel more at ease even though I was a bit panicked myself. She took many wonderful photos for us. When my son started to struggle with his breathing, she encouraged him by saying, "Let's try together, XX-kun! Let's swim over here!" She made sure we didn't miss the beautiful scenery and fish while we were busy taking care of the kids. Thanks to her, both the adults and the teenagers were very satisfied. My little one even said, "That was fun! I want to do it again!"

The shop was clean, and the showers and facilities were easy to use. It might be nice if they could add one more toilet.

We opted for the GoPro rental, but in the end, we didn't have much opportunity to use it, so it might have been enough for us to just rely on the photos taken by the guide. I think it would have been perfect for participants who are more experienced. Mayu, I know it must have been challenging with such a large group, but you kept smiling and made it enjoyable for us, and I was happy to chat with you a lot. Thank you very much!

せっかく沖縄へ旅行するならと、シュノーケリングに参加を決めました。小学2年生から、65歳という年齢層に加え、ほとんどが初体験だったため、ガイドさんの貸切にこだわって、ショップを探しました。
さらに、人数が多いので、出来るだけ費用は抑えたかったこと、たくさん写真を撮ってもらえそうなところも選ぶポイントでした。

結果的に、大正解のショップ選びでした。
ガイドのまゆさんは、本当に可愛くて、でも、チビをちゃんと見てくれて頼りになって、私自身ややパニクりそうでしたが、安心できました。素敵な写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。
呼吸の仕方がわからなくなって、バタつく息子を、「〇〇くん、一緒にやってみよー！こっちで一緒に泳ごうね」と、私たちが、子供の世話で綺麗な景色や魚を見逃さないように、配慮してくれました。
お陰で、私たち大人も、中高生も大満足。チビも「楽しかったー！またやりたい！」と。
ショップは綺麗で、シャワーなど使いやすかったです。トイレはあと一つくらい増設してもありがたいかもしれません。

Go-proレンタル付きにしましたが、結果的にあまり使う余裕がなかったので、我が家はガイドさんの撮ってくれる写真だけでもよかったかもしれません。参加者が慣れている人なら最高だったと思います。
まゆさん、本当に大人数で大変だったと思いますが、ずっと笑顔で楽しませてくれて、おしゃべりたくさんできて、嬉しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I have tried marine activities several times but never liked them, so I avoided them. However, since my child wanted to play in the sea, I signed up, and the result was very satisfying. I was prepared for seasickness due to the rough seas, but perhaps the motion sickness medication worked, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. There were plenty of staff members present, which made it安心 for families with children to participate.

However, the casual conversations during the移動 were audible all the way to the second floor of the boat, and the content was something I didn't want my child to hear.

何度かマリンアクティビティをしてきましたが好きになれず、避けてきました。
子供が海で遊びたいというので申し込みましたが、結果は大満足でした。
時化ということで船酔いの覚悟をしていきましたが、酔い止めが効いたのか十分に楽しめました。
係の人も多めに配置されていて子連れでも安心して参加できました。

ただ、移動中の雑談が船の２階まで聞こえてきていて子供に聞かせたくないような内容でした。

I participated in the tour on March 3rd. I had been checking the website for Maeda Point for a few days, but there were many days when swimming entry from the stairs was prohibited. Even if swimming is not allowed, there are times when you can go by boat, so it seems better to opt for boat entry in winter.

On the tour, each group is assigned one staff member. We had a kind staff member named Kazuya, and I was surprised to find out later that he took about 140 photos for us.

Since we went to the Blue Cave in the morning, perhaps because it was still cold, it wasn't too crowded, and we were able to enjoy it slowly. The water was a beautiful light blue and sparkled, which was breathtaking. We swam further into the cave and were able to do a bit of cave exploration.

With the attentive service and the beautiful Blue Cave, it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

3/3のツアーに参加しました。
何日か真栄田岬のサイトを確認していましたが、階段から泳いでのエントリーは遊泳禁止の日が多かったです。泳いでいくのがダメでもボートなら行けることもあるので、冬はボートエントリーの方が良さそうです。
ツアーは、1グループに1スタッフがついてくれます。
私達はかずやさんという優しいスタッフさんが担当してくれ、後でわかったのですが写真を140枚くらい撮っていてくれてびっくりしました。
青の洞窟は午前だからか、まだ寒いからかそんなに混雑せずにゆっくり楽しむことができました。
とてもきれいな水色でキラキラ光って感動でした。洞窟の中の方にも泳いで行き、ちょっとした洞窟探検ができました。
丁寧な対応と綺麗な青の洞窟がみれてとても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my mother, who has a license but hasn't dived in 25 years, and my beginner middle school son. I was worried about whether we could keep up without bothering others. However, the support system with two guests and one instructor eased my concerns, and the staff were very kind, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful Kerama Blue.

What impressed me the most was the careful support we received from many people both on the boat and in the water when entering the sea, which made me feel safe. There were many thoughtful gestures that made us feel supported, and while my mother reached her physical limit after two dives, my son experienced three dives. I am truly grateful for the wonderful memories and for contributing to my son's growth. Thank you for your care!

ライセンスあるけど25年ブランクの母と、初心者で中学生の息子の2人、周りに迷惑かけないでちゃんとついてけるか、もろもろ不安な気持ちで参加しました。
でもゲスト2人にインストラクター1人のサポート体制が整っていたこと、スタッフの皆さんがとても親切だったので不安はだんだんなくなって素晴らしい慶良間ブルーを楽しめました。
特に印象的だったのは、海に入るとき、多くの方々が船の上からと、海の中とで丁寧にサポートしてくれたので安心でした。
他にも私たちに寄り添ってくれる対応がいっぱいあって感動、
母は2本で体力的に限界でしたが、息子は３本体験、素敵な思い出と、息子の成長につなげてくれたことに心から感謝です。
お世話になりありがとうございました！

On the day of the event, since there were no other passengers besides our family, I was allowed to board as the camera person.

According to the staff, we were flying over 70 meters in the air, and both of us were extremely excited.

The weather was great, and the staff were kind, making for a fun time. My wife and I have experience in Guam, and she was thrilled, saying, "The piloting was incredibly skillful, and I didn't feel any roughness at all."

Thank you very much!

当日、我が家以外の乗船が無いとの事で私もカメラ係で乗船させて頂きました。

スタッフさん曰く70m以上の上空に飛んでいたらしく、２人とも大興奮でした。

天候も良く、スタッフさんも優しくて楽しいひと時でした。
私たち夫婦は、グアムでの体験があるのですが…妻は『すっごく操縦が上手で、荒々しさのかけらも感じなかった』と喜んでいました。

ありがとうございました〜

This was my fifth trip to Okinawa. I had avoided snorkeling until now because I was anxious about it since I can't swim, but this time, encouraged by a friend, I decided to join a tour. On the day of the tour, a friendly and entertaining guide accompanied us, and it became a wonderful memory. He took a lot of photos and sent the data right after we finished, so I was reminiscing while looking back at them in the car on the way home (laughs). The weather was great, and the Blue Cave was as beautiful and blue as I had seen in pictures! I definitely think you should go! (＾＾)

今回５回目の沖縄旅行でした。シュノーケリングは泳げない私にとって不安だったので今まで避けてきたのですが、今回友人の勧めもありツアーに参加することにしました。当日は丁寧かつおもしろいお兄さんがついてくださり、とてもいい思い出になりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、終わった直後にすぐデータを送ってくださり帰りの車で見返しながら余韻にひたっておりました、、（笑）天候もよかったのか青の洞窟も写真でみていたように青くとてもきれいでした！絶対いくべきだと思います(＾＾)

Due to the influence of the front line the day before, the Blue Cave was closed, and we were unable to see it. As the title suggests, it was a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, so it was disappointing, but the guide took us snorkeling at a nearby rocky area. It was cold, and the water was chilly, but the sea was very beautiful, and there were many fish, allowing us to have a great time. If you definitely want to go to the Blue Cave, it's recommended to contact shops in advance, as they can tell you the days with the highest probability of being open. Therefore, I suggest making an inquiry before booking.

前日の前線の影響で青の洞窟はクローズしており、見る事が出来ませんでした。
タイトルの通り青の洞窟のシュノーケリングツアーだったので、残念でしたが、ガイドさんは近くの岩場でシュノーケリングをしてガイドしてくれました。寒いこともあり水が冷たかったですが、とても綺麗な海で魚もたくさんいて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
青の洞窟に必ず行きたいって方は、事前にショップなどに問い合わせすれ一番確率の高い日を教えてくれるとの事です。なので、問い合わせしてから予約することをお勧めします。

There were many foreign guests, and in the snorkeling tour I participated in, there was only one Japanese person. The accompanying staff member was trilingual and provided explanations in each person's language. The boat rocked a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must. There were a few people who looked really uncomfortable due to seasickness, but the staff member checked on them multiple times. While there were many kind staff members, there were also some who were not so friendly. Staff member A kindly suggested I use the warm shower after the second snorkeling point since I was shivering from the cold, but staff member B said, "Don't use it. Just save it for the end." It seems that they want to conserve water, so it's decided that the warm water for showers is only available at the end. However, I noticed regular guests using the shower frequently, so I left feeling unsure about what to do. Then A asked me again, "Did you use it?" and in the end, I was able to use the warm shower. I was really grateful for their help. Later, B made comments in Japanese that could be interpreted as racist, which was very unpleasant to hear (even though I didn't want to). I won't be using this service again, but since there are many kind staff members and many bilingual and trilingual staff, I think foreign guests can enjoy themselves with peace of mind. Thank you.

外国人のお客さんが多く、自分が参加したシュノーケルツアーに関しては日本人1人でした。
付き添いのスタッフさんはトリリンガルで、説明は各々の言葉で行ってくれました。
船はすごく揺れるので、酔い止め必須です。
船酔いで、凄く辛そうな人たちが数人いましたが、スタッフさんが何度も声をかけて対応されていました。
優しいスタッフさんが多い中、そうでないスタッフさんもいました。
スタッフ(A)さんは寒くて震えていた自分に、2ポイント目のシュノーケル後に温水シャワーしてくださいと声をかけてくださった為使おうと思ったら、スタッフ(B)さんは「使わないで。最後だけにして」とのこと。
基本的には、シャワーなどに使用するお湯は節水したいから最後だけと決まってるみたいですが、常連さんっぽい方達は小まめにシャワーしてたのを見ていたので、ふーん。という感じでその場を去り、どうしよう。。と思っていたらAさんが再度「使いました？」と声をかけてくださったので、結局温水シャワーを使うことができました。
声をかけてくださって凄く助かりました。
その後もBさんは人種差別とも受け取れる内容の発言を日本語でしていて、聞いていて(聞きたくなくても聞こえてくる)すごく不愉快でした。
私は今後利用することは無いですが、親切なスタッフさんが多く、バイリンガル、トリリンガルのスタッフさんが多いみたいなので、外国人の方も安心して楽しめると思います。
ありがとうございました。

I was worried because I can't swim at all, but the staff pulled a kickboard for me, so I was able to enjoy it thoroughly. Unlike diving, snorkeling is just swimming on the surface, but I was happy that the staff let me touch starfish and sea cucumbers. I was also very pleased with the free service of taking photos during snorkeling. I participated alone, but there were more solo travelers than I expected, and we chatted during the travel time and meals, so I didn't feel lonely. I participated at the end of December, and I didn't feel much cold underwater, but it was quite chilly during the transfers. Next time, I want to try diving in a warmer season.

初のシュノーケリングで全く泳げないので心配でしたが、スタッフの方がビート板を引いてくれるので、十分楽しめました。ダイビングと違い、シュノーケリングは水面を泳ぐだけですが、スタッフの方がヒトデやナマコをとって触らせてくれたので嬉しかったです。無料でシュノーケリング中の写真をとってくれるサービスもとても嬉しいです。1人での参加でしたが、予想以上におひとりさまが多く、参加者同士移動時間や食事中に話したりもしたので、寂しくなかったです。12月末の参加で、海中はむしろ寒さはあまり感じませんでしたが、移動中は結構寒かったです。今度はもっと暖かい季節にダイビングをしてみたいです。

Due to the weather, we didn't enter the Blue Cave, which we had planned as our main activity, but we were very satisfied with just snorkeling! It was great to meet the clownfish family too! The sunset stand-up paddleboarding afterwards was also a wonderful experience!

天候の関係で…メインと考えていた青の洞窟には入らなかったんですが…シュノーケリングだけでもとても満足できました！！ニモの親子にも会えてとても良かったです！
その後の夕陽SUPもとても素敵な体験となりました！

I'm disappointed that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave! However, I was glad to see so many fish. My 7-year-old daughter was also happy. The staff were very kind, and we had a great time. Thank you!

青の洞窟に行けなくて残念！でしたが、魚をたくさん見ることができて、良かったです。7歳の娘も喜んでいました。スタッフの方もとても親切で、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ありがとうございます！

We were scheduled to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time on December 24th, as my 10-year-old daughter wished, but due to bad weather, we received a call the afternoon before suggesting a reschedule. When I informed them that we would be heading home by 2 PM the next day, they kindly arranged for us to combine SUP with snorkeling to fit our schedule.

Thanks to their early communication, we were also able to visit the Churaumi Aquarium during our free time! The instructor had a wealth of knowledge about the fish. Our family of three had a wonderful Christmas together. Next time, I would like my daughter and husband to obtain their scuba diving licenses. The drone footage and photos were great as well.

12/24に10歳の娘が希望するSUPに初挑戦する予定でしたが…悪天候の為、前日の午後に連絡が入り日程変更の提案をいただきました。
翌日の14時には帰路へと伝えたところ、時間に間に合うように、SUPとシュノーケリングを組んでいただけるとのことでしたので、予定を変更しました。
早めに連絡を頂いたので空いた時間で美ら海水族館へも行くことが出来ました！
イントラの方は、魚の知識も豊富でした(^.^)
家族３人でとても楽しいクリスマスを過ごせました。
次回は、娘と旦那にスキューバのライセンスを取得させたいです。
ドローンの映像や写真も良かったです。

An absolutely fantastic day out! We asked to be picked up from our hotel, to which someone came to our hotel the day before (whilst we were out) to leave us a paper message confirming our time of departure and where to meet (which was also confirmed by email too!).

On the morning of the trip, they were on time, and the staff were very friendly. We were given snorkeling gear, towels when we were done, and a delicious lunch!

I became quite sea sick partly through the, and not only were the instructors prepared, but they checked up on me, and one instructor even helped encourage me back into the water.

We went snorkeling in the winter, and the water was a very comfortable temperature (which was great for me, as I'm always cold!). The views of the islands and underwater were breath taking! We saw a small shark, a sea snake, and lots of colourful tropical fish. Our snorkeling instructor also took pictures of our swim, which were available to download the next morning.

One word of caution however: it's worth making sure children will be used to the snorkeling mask before booking. We had a child on our boat who became quite enraged at the mask preventing any breathing through his nose, and subsequently did not participate. It's a fantastic day out, but worth going with children who are used breathing steadily with the mask on.

I am very grateful for the schedule you arranged, considering the pickup time for my child, even though I misunderstood the timing! Thanks to you, I was able to fully enjoy the activities.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to swim with the stunning aquatic creatures that I had only seen in aquariums and books. It was moving to see them come close when I fed them! I was also happy when you let me touch a starfish after I expressed my desire to do so.

The explanations were clear, and I felt safe and comfortable enjoying the experience.

When my child gets older, I would like to participate again with them, so thank you in advance!

乳児を預けての参加で、こちらが時間を勘違いしていたにも関わらず、こどもの迎え時間まで考慮して頂いたスケジュールを組んで頂き大変感謝しています！！おかげでアクティビティを満喫することができました。
海は大変綺麗で水族館や図鑑でしかみたことのなかった綺麗な水の生き物達と泳ぎ、みることができ、えさをあげるとよってきてくれて感動しました！
ヒトデを触ってみたいといったら触らせて下さり嬉しかったです。

説明もわかりやすく安全に安心して楽しめました。

こどもが大きくなったらまたこどもと参加させて頂きますのでよろしくお願い致します！

On December 5th, my wife and I were taken care of. Unfortunately, due to strong winds, we couldn't enter the Blue Cave, but thanks to Mr. Osaka from B-nature's fun talk and skillful guidance, the snorkeling was more enjoyable than our trip to Guam in October. Since it was shallow, we were able to see many small and beautiful fish, and a little offshore, we even touched some delicious-looking parrotfish. Shortly after, we received a lot of photos via LINE, so we were very satisfied. Thank you very much, Mr. Osaka, for a wonderful time!

12月5日に家内と二人お世話になりました。残念ながら、風が強くて青の洞窟には入れませんでしたが、B-nature の大坂さんの楽しいトークと巧みなリードで、10月に行ったグアムより楽しいシュノーケリングになりました。浅瀬だったせいもあり、小さくて奇麗な魚がたくさん見られたし、少し沖合では美味しそうな（？）ブダイにも触れたし、すぐ後で大量の写真をラインで送ってもらえたので、大満足です。大坂さん、本当に素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

I heard that it can be cold in Okinawa, so I had my 7-year-old son wear a wetsuit just in case. However, from my experience growing up on the Japan Sea side of western Japan, I felt it was about the same as the Japan Sea in August, and we could swim comfortably even in the morning and evening, so I think it’s warmer.

I'm glad it was sunny! However, I did get a little sting on my upper arm from something in the water, so I made sure to wear the inner part of the wetsuit I brought.

I was torn between Aharen Beach, which is known for its wide beach and coral reefs, and Tokashiku Beach, which is less crowded and has sea turtles.

At Tokashiku Beach, I heard there are about seven sea turtles, and while I was excited to find one, another one was right at my feet, and as I moved further, I encountered yet another one! It was almost overwhelming to see them so frequently that it diminished the sense of wonder.

The people at Tokashiku Marine Village were all very kind, and I would love to stay there next time.

沖縄の方は寒いよとおっしゃっていたので7歳の息子には念のためウェットスーツを着せましたか、西日本の日本海側で育った私の感覚では8月の日本海と同じくらいか、午前や夕方でも普通に泳げたので、もっと温かいのだと思います。
晴れていて良かった！
ただ海中で一度何かに二の腕をチクっと刺されたので、持参したウェットスーツのインナーだけは着ました。


ビーチもサンゴ礁も広いという阿波連ビーチと迷いましたが、人が少なくてウミガメを見られるとかしくビーチに。

とかしくビーチにはウミガメが7匹位いるとのことで、
1匹見つけて感動していると別の1匹が足元にいて、さらに進むと新たな1匹が！という風に、逆に感動やありがたみが感じられなくなるほど常に見られます。

とかしくマリンビレッジの方々も皆親切で、今度は泊まってみたいと思いました。

I participated with my 7-year-old son. It was truly a luxurious experience, and I felt a bit guilty about it. The staff member Y was incredibly considerate, keeping my son company to distract him from his fear of the boat, preparing a foot bath when he said he was cold after snorkeling, and even bringing a spare wetsuit. I am really grateful for their thoughtfulness.

All the other participants were kind, and even staff members who weren't directly responsible for us took the time to explain the fish using a guidebook. Thank you so much for everything.

Although my son only participated for one point out of three, I was able to enjoy snorkeling at my own pace thanks to the attention he received. I was thrilled to see a sea snake, which I had been eager to spot, even more than a sea turtle. After the event, I checked the photo service and saw that my son also had a great time on the boat. Thank you!

7歳の息子と2人で参加させていただきました。
タイトル通り至れり尽くせりで申し訳ないほどでした。
船を怖がる息子の気を紛らわせるためずっと話し相手になってくださったり、シュノーケリング後に寒いと言えば足湯を用意してくださったり、替えのウェットスーツまで持ってきてくださったり、担当してくださったYさんのご配慮に本当に感謝です。
他の参加者の方々も皆優しく接してくださり、担当ではないスタッフの方々も図鑑で魚の説明をしてくださったりと色々と本当にありがとうございました。

3ポイント中、息子は1ポイントだけの参加でしたが、息子を見ていてくださったおかげで私は1人ゆっくりシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
私にとってはウミガメよりも見たかった念願のウミヘビを初めて見られて大満足でした。
参加後の写真サービスで確認しましたが、息子も船上で楽しませてもらったようで^_^
ありがとうございました。

I had reserved a snorkeling and SUP set. Due to the weather on the day, we only did snorkeling. We were able to see rays, clownfish, and baby clownfish, and the instructor's attentive support and cheerful conversation made it a lot of fun!

After snorkeling, I really wanted to try SUP, and when I consulted with them, they suggested a day when the weather would calm down and it would be possible during my stay. We were able to do SUP at 7 AM on the last day!

SUP while basking in the morning sun was absolutely amazing! The location felt like a private beach, and it was great to have it all to ourselves! They even flew a drone for us, making it an unforgettable trip!

Thank you to all the instructors! I will contact you again next time I visit Okinawa!

シュノーケリングSUPのセットを予約していました。当日天候の関係でシュノーケリングのみになりました。エイやクマノミ、クマノミの赤ちゃんに会えたり、インストラクターさんの丁寧な対応と人柄、軽快なトークで楽しませてくださいました！
シュノーケリング後、どうしてもSUPをやりたくなり、相談したところ、天候が落ち着き滞在中に出来そうな日を提案してくださり、最終日の朝7時からSUPが叶いました！
朝日を浴びながらのSUPとっても最高でした！
ロケーションもプライベートビーチみたいで
貸切で良かったです！
ドローンも飛ばしてもらい、本当に忘れられない旅行になりました！
インストラクターの皆さん、ありがとうございました！次回も沖縄行く際に連絡します！

I was nervous during my first diving experience, but the instructors were very kind and attentive, allowing me to enjoy my time without any anxiety. I participated alone as a woman, but there were several other women who came alone as well, and the staff made an effort to create a friendly atmosphere, which was great! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and the explanations about the fish and the photo sessions were handled very carefully, making it a lot of fun! I definitely want to do this again! 😊

初のダイビングで緊張してましたが、教えて下さる方達もすごく丁寧で不安になることなく楽しい時間が過ごせました。今回 女１人での参加でしたが、私の他にも一人で来ている女性も何人かいたのと、スタッフの方が場を和ませてくれるなどの配慮もありアットホームな感じがよかったです！
海はすごく綺麗で、お魚の説明や写真撮影なども、とても丁寧にして頂き楽しかったです！
またぜひ お願いしたいと思います(^^)

I participated in this when I went on a trip to Okinawa with a friend! We were talking about wanting to visit the outer islands in Okinawa, and I found a perfect plan, so I decided to use it this time. As a beginner in snorkeling, I was really anxious at first, but the staff were very kind and supportive, and I was able to have a great time! I even encountered a sea turtle and saw many beautiful fish, which was very healing. I would definitely like to use this again if I have the chance! Thank you very much!

友達と2人で沖縄旅行に行った時に参加しました！
沖縄でも離島に行きたいという話をしていて、ちょうどいいプランを見つけたので、今回利用させていただきました。
シュノーケリング初心者のため、初めは不安でたまりませんでしたが、スタッフの方がとても親切に声をかけてくれて、楽しく過ごすことができました！
ウミガメにも出会えて、綺麗なお魚もたくさん見れてとても癒されました。次も機会があったらぜひ利用したいです！
ありがとうございました！

The high-speed boat ride on the way there was quite bumpy. As expected, it was a vast ocean outside the port. I thought we might not be able to have a BBQ due to a small mix-up, but we managed to do it after all. Since it was the season for children, I thought it might be too cold to swim, but I borrowed a wetsuit, so it was totally fine. We were also able to go to a deserted island by SUP, and it was nice to relax.

行きの高速艇がかなり揺れました。やはり港の外は大海原でした。ちょっとした手違いでBBQができなくなるかと思ったのですが何とかできました。子に時期なので泳ぐには寒いかなと思ってたのですがウェットスーツを借りたので全然大丈夫でした。無人島にもSUPで行けたし、のんびりできてよかったです。

I participated with my close friend on October 29 (Monday)!! It seems that swimming was prohibited due to the typhoon until the day before, so I thought we wouldn't be able to do it, but we could on the day!!! ★☆ Since we were at a hotel in Naha City, they came to pick us up, and we were excited to join! ＼(^^)／ However, the waves were really strong that day... The ferry ride was more thrilling than a roller coaster... (laughs) I felt like I was floating while sitting down, it was crazy! It was a continuous "This is insane!" moment... (laughs) (They said it was due to the typhoon. Apparently, it’s not usually like this, but since it was my first time, I wouldn’t know! (laughs))

The ferry was super fast, and I wanted to say, "Please go slow!!" It was really. (laughs) Even though I took motion sickness medicine, I still felt nauseous. There were participants in front of me who probably didn’t take any motion sickness medicine, and they were getting sick... (laughs) I almost felt like I was going to join them ( ˘•ω•˘ ).｡oஇ (laughs) But the staff stood up on that crazy ferry, taking care of those who felt sick, and I thought that was amazing...! (T ^ T) They were attentive to all the participants and checked in on us!! (>_<) Thankfully, I didn’t get sick, so after we arrived at our destination, we were able to dive and snorkel☆★

Due to the typhoon, it seems we went to a different spot than usual... I was really disappointed that we couldn’t see the sea turtles we were hoping to see. But the water clarity was incredibly amazing despite the high waves♡♡♡♡ I got to see lots of beautiful fish, so I was very satisfied♡ When we weren’t diving, we were free to snorkel around the ferry anytime, and we went to three spots, swimming almost entirely in the water♡

I was surprised by how many staff members there were!! Plus, there were staff members from Hong Kong and Australia, so I thought it would be easy for international guests to join! ★★ On the day, there were people speaking Chinese and English, so I felt reassured knowing there were interpreters available!! Also, the staff members got along really well! ★ Their conversations were super entertaining, and the atmosphere was really friendly♡♡ It was fun because various staff members came to talk to us!! The sea was so beautiful, and since we were there, we did an extra dive too♡＼(^^)／

They provided drinks like tea, coffee, and miso soup, as well as snacks and lunch, and I thought this price was a bargain♡♡ If I had to say something negative... I was a bit disappointed that there were only a few photos taken, and I wished they had taken a few more. When I dived at another place, the staff had food for the fish and let us feed them! I thought it would have been even better if they had let us feed the fish during this dive too♡♡

Also, I ended up tired and went home, but I wanted to take pictures with the staff! (laughs) I regretted it when I got home with my friend! (laughs) I want to go again next year during a time when there are no typhoons, so let’s take pictures together then!! ＼(^^)／♡♡

10/29(月)に仲良しの友人と参加しました！！
前日まで台風の影響により遊泳禁止だったようで、、、できないだろうなと思っていましたが当日はできました！！！★☆
那覇市内のホテルだったので迎えにきてくれて、ウキウキで参加！＼(^^)／
しかし当日は波がすごくて、、、
往復のフェリーはジェットコースターよりすごい、、、(笑)座ってる自分が浮くくらいで、ヤバイ！これヤバイやろ！の連続、、、、(笑)
(台風の影響だからだそうです。普段はこんなんじゃないとのことですが、、、初参加なので分かりません！(笑))

フェリーもめっちゃ早いから、ゆっくりお願い！！と言いたいくらいでした。本当に。(笑)
酔い止めを飲んでいても気持ち悪くなりました。
目の前にいた参加者で、酔い止め飲んできてなかったのだろうと思われる方々がゲロゲロしておりまして、、、(笑)
もらいゲロしそうでした( ˘•ω•˘ ).｡oஇ(笑)
でも、スタッフさん達はあの激しいフェリーの中、立ったまま乗られてて、気持ち悪い方々の介護をされててすごいなぁと、、、！(T ^ T)参加者全員に気を使って声を掛けてくれていました！！(>_<)
なんとか吐くまでではなかったので、目的地に着いてからはダイビングとシュノーケルができました☆★
台風の影響でいつもとは違うスポットに行ったようで、、、
お目当てのウミガメには会うことができなくて、とても残念でした。
でも海の透明度は波が高いのにすっごくヤバかったです♡♡♡♡綺麗なお魚もたくさん見れてる大満足でした♡
ダイビングしてない間はいつでもフェリーの周りでシュノーケルして楽しんでくださーい！という自由な感じで、3ヶ所行き、ほぼ海の中で泳がせてもらいました♡

スタッフの方がとにかく多くて、ビックリ！！
しかも、スタッフの方の中に香港の方、オーストラリアの方がいたので、海外の方も気軽に参加できるなぁと思いました！★★当日、中国語や英語で話されてる方がいたので、海外の方も参加していらして、通訳ができる方がいるから安心できるなと思いました！！
あとスタッフの方々同士めっちゃ仲が良い！★
トークもめっちゃ面白いし、ほんと和気藹々としてました♡♡いろんなスタッフさんが話しかけてくれるから楽しかったです！！
海もすごく綺麗だし、せっかくだから追加ダイビングもしました♡＼(^^)／
お茶、コーヒー、味噌汁などの飲み物や、お菓子、お昼ご飯も付いていてこの値段は破格だなと思いました♡♡
強いて言うなら、、、
写真が数枚だったのが残念で、もぅ少し撮ってほしかったのと、他のところでダイビングした時はスタッフさんがお麩のエサを持っていて、エサやりをさせてくれました！！エサやりもせっかくのダイビングならやらせてくれたらもっといいなぁと思いました♡♡

あと、最後疲れて帰ってしまいましたが、スタッフさん達と写真撮りたかった！(笑)帰って友達と後悔！(笑)
また来年は台風の来ない時期に行きたいと思いますので、その時は一緒に写真撮りましょうね！！＼(^^)／♡♡

A few days before the experience, it seemed there were some effects from the rain, but on the day itself, we were blessed with wonderful weather, making it the best experience. Even before it started, the staff member was very friendly and took some photos, which helped me relax before entering the sea. His smile was absolutely wonderful.

Once in the water, I was amazed at how close the fish were! During the feeding experience, I was almost worried that my fingers would be eaten because the fish were so eager to get the food, which was both scary and fun. The Blue Cave was beautiful as well.

I would love to visit again when I return to Okinawa. Thank you for all the great photos!

体験数日前までは、雨などの影響もあったようですが、当日はお天気に恵まれて最高の経験でした。始まる前にも担当のお兄さんからも声がけしてもらえたり、写真も撮っていただいてリラックスして海に入れました。そしてお兄さんの笑顔が素敵すぎました。
海に入ったら、こんなに魚が近いの？！というくらい近く、餌やり体験では指が食べられてしまうのではと思うくらいに、お魚さんの食い付きがよくて怖楽しかったです。青の洞窟もキレイでした。
また沖縄に訪れた際には伺いたいです。
写真も沢山ありがとうございました！

I participated with someone who was diving for the first time.

The day before, we received a message about the meeting time, and on the day of the dive, they came to pick us up in front of the hotel in the morning.

We boarded the boat, received a lecture, and then it was time to dive! The 20-minute dive felt too short. However, we were able to see clownfish and sea turtles, and there was one instructor for every two of us, which made us feel safe while diving.

After diving, there was a drink service and time for snorkeling, which allowed us to relax.

However, after diving, we could only use the boat's shower, so we couldn't use shampoo or anything like that, and our hair ended up feeling sticky until we returned to the hotel to wash it.

They also took some photos for us, but there weren't many, which was a bit disappointing...

ダイビング初体験の人と一緒に参加しました。

前日に集合時間の連絡が入り、当日は朝ホテル前へ送迎に来てくださいました。

船に乗船し、レクチャーを受けて、いざダイビング！
物足りない20分のダイビングはあっという間でした。
でも、カクレクマノミや海亀に会うことができ、二人に対して一人のインストラクターさんがフォローしてくださり、安心して潜ることが出来ました。

ダイビング後はドリンクのサービスやシュノーケルの時間もあり、まったり出来ました。

ただ、ダイビング後は船のシャワーなのでシャンプーなどは出来ませんので、ホテルに帰ってからシャンプーしないと髪の毛はベタベタです。

写真も撮ってもらいましたが、少なくてちょっと残念でした…

We participated as a family of five due to my parents' strong desire to see sea turtles. The day before, we were informed that the event might be canceled due to the typhoon, and I was worried about whether we would be able to go, but I'm glad we could participate safely. The sea was rough, and the boat was rocking a lot during the trip, but my mother was thrilled, saying it felt like a roller coaster… (laughs).

Since it would be a long time on the boat, I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. After we arrived, we first went snorkeling, and the whole family was excited about the high visibility. During the diving session, my parents in their 50s struggled a bit with the experience, but the instructor was very helpful, and we were able to take a family photo underwater. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any sea turtles, but we were very satisfied to fully experience the ocean in Okinawa for a day.

The captain talked to us a lot, and when I mentioned that this trip was a celebration of my parents' silver wedding anniversary, all the staff celebrated with us. That alone made us very happy, but they also took a photo of our family with the staff and made it into a card, which they presented to us as we were leaving. I never expected such a gesture, so both my father and mother were very touched and delighted. That photo is now displayed in our room. Before the experience, my parents said it would be their first and last diving trip, but now they are talking about wanting to go again. I truly believe it became an unforgettable memory for us. I was grateful for the thoughtfulness of the staff. Thank you very much.

ウミガメを見たいという両親の強い希望もあり、家族5人で参加させていただきました。
台風の影響でもしかしたら中止になるかもしれないと前日にご連絡をいただき、大丈夫かなと心配していたのですが、無事参加することができてよかったです。海が荒れていて移動中の船はすごく揺れましたが、母はジェットコースターみたいだと大喜びでした…笑
長時間の乗船になるので、酔い止めは飲んでいた方がいいかなと思います。
到着後、まずはシュノーケリングをしましたが、透明度の高さに家族みんな大はしゃぎでした。続いてのダイビングでは50代の両親が初めての経験に苦戦しましたが、インストラクターの方が良くしてくださり、水中で家族全員揃っての写真を撮ることができました。ウミガメを見ることは残念ながらできませんでしたが、沖縄の海を1日フルに体験できて大満足でした。
船長さんもたくさんお話ししてくださり、その雑談の中で今回の旅行が両親の銀婚式のお祝いだということを話すと、スタッフの皆さんが全員でお祝いしてくださいました。それだけでも十分嬉しかったのですが、私たち家族とスタッフの皆さんで写真を撮ってくれ、それをカードにして帰り際にプレゼントしてくださいました。まさかそんなことをしていただけるとは思ってもいなかったので、父も母も大変感激し喜んでおりました。その写真はいま部屋に飾られています。体験前は両親ともに最初で最後のダイビングだと言っていましたが、今ではまた行きたいねと話しています。本当に一生忘れられない思い出になったと思います。スタッフの方々のお心遣いが嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time diving, but the instructor taught me carefully in a two-on-one setting, so I was able to dive without any anxiety. The waters of Kerama are rich in fish species, and I even encountered a sea turtle. Unlike snorkeling, I was able to observe them up close, which was truly moving. The boat had two toilets and showers, and there were services for water, hot water, and snacks, which was great. Additionally, lunch included a bento box with miso soup, which was more than enough. Above all, the view of Kerama Blue was amazing. The pick-up and check-in process was very smooth, which was also great. If I visit Okinawa again, I would definitely like to use this service once more.

初めてのダイビングでしたがインストラクターの方がツーマンセルで丁寧に教えていただくことができたので不安なく潜れました。慶良間の海は魚の種類が豊富で、ウミガメにも出会うことができました。シュノーケリングとは違いより近くで観察することができたので感動しました。船上にはトイレ、シャワーが２つずつあったり、お水、お湯、お菓子のサービスがあったのでよかったです。また、昼ごはんもお弁当に味噌汁がついていたので十分でした。何より慶良間ブルーの景色が最高でした。送迎や受付もとてもスムーズでよかったです。また、沖縄に訪れることがあれば、もう１度利用したいと思いました。

It was my first time paddleboarding, but the instructor taught us in a friendly and enjoyable manner. While strengthening my core, I was able to leisurely experience the ocean!

Although the Blue Cave was closed for snorkeling, our veteran instructor took us to a great spot where we even encountered a cute pufferfish!

I would love to do this again! Thank you very much!

初SUPでしたが丁寧かつ楽しく教えて頂き、体幹鍛えながらペースも合わせて頂き海をゆうゆうと体感出来ました‼︎
シュノーケルは青の洞窟が閉まっている日だったのですが、ベテランインストラクターさんだったので良いスポットまで連れて行って頂いてゆるキャラハリセンボンにも出会うことが出来ました‼︎
またお願いしたいな-と思っています‼︎
ありがとうございました‼︎

The day before, I received a notification from the Marine House store that the points might change due to high waves. On the day of the trip, they picked me up at the hotel and we arrived at the port. I quickly changed into a wetsuit and we set off for the Kerama Islands' points. On the way, due to the high waves, it felt like a roller coaster, but we arrived at the points safely. Although the waves were rough, I was impressed by the clarity of the sea. I was able to see tropical fish up close thanks to the feeding, and it was clear that the staff was making an effort to delight the guests. Unfortunately, the points were changed from three to two, but the staff handled the guests who were feeling seasick without any complaints, which was excellent. This time we went snorkeling, but next time I want to challenge myself with scuba diving in calmer waters. It was a memorable and enjoyable time.

マリンハウス店より前日、高波の影響によりポイントが変更になる可能性ありと連絡があり。当日ホテル迄迎えに来て頂き港に到着。早速ウエットスーツに着替えて慶良間諸島のポイントに出発。途中高波の影響によりジェットコースター状態でスリルを味わいながらポイントに到着。波は荒かったが透明感のある海に感動しました。熱帯魚も餌付けで近くで見ることが出来スタッフもゲストを喜ばそうと工夫しているのが伝わって来ました。あいにくポイントは3ヵ所から2ヵ所に変更されましたが、船酔いのゲストにも嫌な顔をせず対応頂いたスタッフは最高でした。今回はシュノーケリングでしたが今度は穏やかな波でスキューバに挑戦したいと思います
思い出にに残る楽しい一時でした。

Overall a great experience and the team went beyond expectations! Staff were extremely friendly, including Corey who assisted our English group. The winds were strong the day we went so the tour company made arrangements to find alternative dive spots to accommodate the group.
