I checked the tide levels before going, but since I couldn't go on any other day, I was satisfied even without the sandy beach. The sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed canoeing and other activities.
潮位は調べて行きましたが、日程でこの日以外いけなかったので砂浜がなくても満足でした。
海は綺麗でカヌーをしたり楽しみました。

I loved the sandbar! The service was outstanding!!! from the guy with the flower in his hat going over the rules and dancing. To the lifeguard that helped us attract fish while snorkeling. Most importantly, I am very happy with the service that was provided by the guy with the sun screen across with nose that gave us kayak and prattle boarding lessons. They all made me and my family comfortable and super welcomed!

The parking lot was quite crowded, but it was understandable since it was the earliest optional tour in the morning. In the past, you could go freely, but now there are strict regulations regarding reservations and waiting times. However, it was very smooth since we could go through the tour company. After watching the orienteering video and stepping outside, we saw a rainbow. The guide during snorkeling was also very good, and we were able to see various fish. It would be quite difficult to go individually, so I highly recommend this tour.
駐車場は結構混んでいましたでも 朝が1番早いオプショナルツアーでしたが納得でした 昔はフリーで行けたのに今は予約やら順番待ちやら規制がとても厳しい でもツアー会社の枠で行けるのでとてもスムーズでした オリエンテーリングのビデオを見て外へ出たら虹が出ていました シュノーケリング時ガイドもとても良く色々な魚を見ることが出来ました 個人で行こうとすると大変なのでとてもお勧めのツアーです

My family had so much fun turtle snorkeling. My son got scared going in the middle of the ocean but the staff had him on his board and took him around to see the turtles and taught him so many fun facts. We had a special treat of having dolphins swim alongside the boat. Would recommend this to anyone thinking of snorkeling with turtles.

It was cold - the boat ride and the water condition once we arrived. The visibility of the water was very poor. We didn't see any fish. It was just an unpleasant experience. We did this tour with another company many years ago and it was very nice. I understand weather conditions are outside the tour company's control but they can warn customers when they know it's bad and provide options to cancel the tour.

This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!

I couldn't make a reservation until the last minute, but they were very kind and responded quickly. It was great since I wouldn't have been able to go on my own!
The waves were huge due to high tide, and I got swept away by the waves several times. Although the water wasn't clear, thanks to the high tide, I was able to see sea turtles!
I also saw a lot of fish, which was nice.
Since the water can be cold, those who are sensitive to the cold might want to wear a wetsuit.
予約開始ははギリギリでないとできなかったのですが、早めに対応して下さりとても親切でした。個人ではなかなか行けないので良かったです!
満ち潮のときだったのですごい波で、何度も波に流されました。透き通った海ではなかったのですが、満ち潮のおかげでウミガメが見れました!

It was great to travel by boat while listening to live music; it really added to the experience. Although we didn't go to a sandbar, the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish swimming around. Even as a beginner, I was taught carefully, and there were no dangerous spots at all. I could feel that all the staff were eager to make it enjoyable for everyone. However, I was disappointed that while the Japanese staff were very friendly to foreigners, they didn't seem as welcoming to Japanese guests.
生演奏を聴きながらの、船での移動盛り上がってとても良かったです。
サンドバーにはならなかったのですが、海も綺麗で魚が泳ぐところを沢山見れました。初心者でも丁寧に教えて頂き、危ないところは、ひとつもなかったです。スタッフのみんなも楽しませようという姿勢が感じられました。ただ、日本人のスタッフが外人には凄く良いのに対して、日本人にはあまり感じよくなかったので、がっかりしました。

The plan included lunch. The people around us at our assigned seats were already eating or had finished their meals, so we thought we should go get our food ourselves. When I asked if I could take this (something like a sandwich), a Japanese woman came over and said not to take it because the staff would bring it. However, no one brought us lunch no matter how long we waited. The staff had said they would bring it, but they didn't. There was a lack of responsibility. It wasn't a cheap tour, and since it was stated that lunch was included, we went without eating... I even went to get it because that person said they would bring it. The way she said it was quite harsh. What should have been a fun activity turned into an unpleasant memory. I swam on an empty stomach, felt unwell, and couldn't enjoy myself. It's really disappointing because the other crew members were very kind and friendly.
プランには昼食つきとありました。席を振り分けられ座った場所の周囲の人たちはすでに食事中か食事が済んでいたので自分たちで食事をとりに行くのだと思い取りに行ってコレ(サンドイッチのようなもの)を持って行っていいか聞くと日本人?の女の人がやってきてスタッフが持ってくるから取るなと言いました。しかし待っても待っても誰も昼食を私達に運んではくれませんでした。
スタッフが持ってくると日本人?の女のスタッフは言ったのに持ってこなかった。 責任感が無さすぎる。安いツアーでもないのに昼食があるって書いてたからわざわざ食べずに行ったのに...それもわざわざ取りに行ったのに持ってくるとあの人は言いました。言い方もかなりキツめでした。楽しいはずのアクティビティーが嫌な思い出になった。 空腹のまま泳いで気分も悪いし楽しめませんでした。他のクルーの人達はとても親切で優しかったから本当に残念です。
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding lunch this time. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide lunch, and I regret that this has affected what should have been an enjoyable experience for you.
In response to this incident, we held an urgent meeting with the crew to prevent a recurrence. We will ensure that such issues do not happen again in the future. While I cannot guarantee that this will improve your mood, we have decided to refund the cost of lunch in hopes of making amends.
Once again, I apologize sincerely. I am truly sorry.

The service provided by the tour guide couple was excellent. I was satisfied with the tour itself, including the transportation, guidance to the snorkeling points, and snacks afterward. It was also nice that the tour photos were uploaded to Facebook. The only disappointment was not being able to see any sea turtles. It seems that whether you can see them or not varies by day and between morning and afternoon.

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to my hotel and there weren't many options available at the last minute, but it turned out to be a great decision. I had a wonderful experience.
When we arrived at the snorkeling point by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins! We enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat.
Once in the water, I swam surrounded by schools of colorful fish of various sizes. (The staff threw food from the boat, so many fish gathered around.) After that, the staff guided us by swimming to the turtle point. We were able to see three turtles that day. They occasionally came up to the surface for air, allowing us to see them up close, which was incredibly exciting!
After the snorkeling time ended, we returned to the boat and sailed out to sea with the sails up, moving quite fast. I was fine, but those who are sensitive to motion might want to be cautious.
The website mentioned bringing a "photo ID," so I brought my passport, but it wasn't required. I didn't read it carefully, but it seems it was needed if you wanted to purchase alcohol on the boat. I misunderstood and thought it was required for the tour participation, so I would appreciate it if the wording could be changed.
After getting out of the water, it can be chilly with the sea breeze, so it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up or a large towel. Also, there are no staff members who speak Japanese. They explain the precautions before entering the water, so having good listening skills would be helpful. (Since they use gestures, you might manage if you can catch some key words.)
集合場所が宿泊ホテルに近かったのと、間際の予約で他にあまり無かったので選びましたが、結果的に大正解でした。とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
ボートでスノーケリングポイントに着いた頃合いで、イルカの群れに遭遇!
ボートの上からしばしイルカ見物。
海に入り、大小色とりどりの魚の群れに囲まれながら遊泳。
(スタッフがボートから餌を投げるので沢山集まってきます)
その後、ホヌポイントまでスタッフが泳いで誘導してくれました。
この日は3匹のホヌに会えました。時おり水面まで息をしに上がってくるので本当に真横にホヌを見ることが出来、大感激!
スノーケリングタイムが終わった後は、ボートに戻り、沖合まで帆を上げてかなり飛ばしていきます。私は大丈夫でしたが、揺れに弱い人は要注意です。
WEBには持ち物に『写真付きのID』と書かれていたのでわざわざパスポートを持っていきましたが、提示は求められませんでした。よく読まなかったのがいけないですが、ボート上でお酒を購入したいときに必要ということだったようです。ツアー参加の際に掲示を求められると勘違いしてしまいましたので、書き方を変えていただけると嬉しいです。
水から上がった後海風に吹かれて寒いので、長袖の羽織るものか大き目のバスタオルは有った方が良いです。あと、日本語話すスタッフはいません。海に入る前に注意事項を説明されるのでヒヤリング力は有った方が良いです。(身振り手振りの説明なので単語が聞き取れればなんとかなるかも)
