Manami and Taro, our guides, were fun and provided a great experience with a small group!

I signed up for a tour to see sea turtles, and I was lucky enough to encounter three of them! I was able to take wonderful photos and videos. The staff, Taro and Mana, provided detailed explanations about the characteristics and origins of the marine creatures, making for an enjoyable experience throughout! I definitely want to participate again the next time I visit Miyako Island!ウミガメを見たくて申し込んだツアー。何と3匹ものウミガメに出会え、素敵な写真や動画を撮影頂きました！スタッフのたろうさん、まなさんが、海の生き物の特徴や由来を丁寧に説明してくれて、終始楽しい時間でした！！次回宮古島に遊びに来る際には、また参加したいと思います！！

We went on our first turtle tour with our 5-year-old child and family. "Mana-chan," who has extensive knowledge about marine life and the ocean, was our guide. Although we had a hard time spotting turtles at the beginning, we finally encountered one in the second half, and my daughter was thrilled. During the tour, even when someone cramped up, they quickly provided assistance, and their timely words of encouragement made us feel completely at ease and reliant on them.

During the tour, even when someone cramped up, they quickly provided assistance, and their timely words of encouragement made us feel completely at ease and reliant on them. On the day of the tour, my daughter vividly illustrated her memories of the sea turtle tour like a picture diary. 5歳の子供と家族で初めての亀さんツアーでした。生き物達のこと・海のこと等、知識が豊富な"まなちゃん"が担当してくれました。 スタートからなかなか出会えなかった亀さんにも後半に遭遇できて娘も感激していました。 ツアー途中に足がつってもすぐに手当をしてくれたりタイミング良い気遣いの声かけや心強い声にすっかり親の方も甘えて頼りきっていました。 当日は娘も海亀ツアーの日の思い出を絵日記のように鮮明にイラストに描いていました。

This time, I was guided by Mana. I was very satisfied to see many sea turtles, exceeding my expectations. I was able to see various corals and fish, and it was an experience worth more than the price.今回、マナさんにガイドしてもらいました。 希望以上に、たくさんのウミガメと会えて、大満足です。 サンゴも魚も色々見ることができ、お値段以上の体験ができました。

This time, we participated as a family of four, including our two adult children. It was our third snorkeling experience, and it was the second time we saw sea turtles. We were lucky enough to encounter four turtles in the clear waters of Miyako Island. Watching them munch on seaweed and come up to the surface for air was incredibly adorable, and we could have watched them forever.

Our guide, Soutarou, was funny and kind, sharing a lot of interesting facts about the ocean and various topics, which was very educational. Thank you for recommending some great places to eat in Miyako Island as well. The next day, we visited the ocean on Okinawa Island and went swimming, but we kept saying that Miyako Island was the best we've ever experienced. We would love to use this tour again when we visit Miyako Island for snorkeling in the future. Thank you for the wonderful memories! 今回、成人した子供２人と、夫婦の４人で参加をさせて頂きました。シュノーケル経験は、3回目。ウミガメを見たのは、2回目でしたが、宮古島の澄んだ海と、ウミガメも4匹運良く会えました。海藻をパクパク食べて、水上に顔を出し、息継ぎをしている姿がとても愛らしかったので、ずっと見ていられました。案内してくださった、そうたろうさんは、面白く、優しく、海や、話の雑学を沢山して頂き、勉強になりました。宮古島のおすすめのお店も教えて頂きありがとうございました。翌日は、沖縄本島の海を見たり海水浴をしましたが、やっぱり宮… 今回、成人した子供２人と、夫婦の４人で参加をさせて頂きました。シュノーケル経験は、3回目。ウミガメを見たのは、2回目でしたが、宮古島の澄んだ海と、ウミガメも4匹運良く会えました。海藻をパクパク食べて、水上に顔を出し、息継ぎをしている姿がとても愛らしかったので、ずっと見ていられました。案内してくださった、そうたろうさんは、面白く、優しく、海や、話の雑学を沢山して頂き、勉強になりました。宮古島のおすすめのお店も教えて頂きありがとうございました。翌日は、沖縄本島の海を見たり海水浴をしましたが、やっぱり宮古島が過去一だねって、ずっと話していました。またいつか、宮古島へ行き、シュノーケルする際は、こちらのツアーを利用させて頂きたいです。 最高な、思い出をありがとうございました。

On the day of the event, it was rainy and windy, so I thought it might be canceled, but I was glad it went ahead! I participated at the earliest time, but perhaps due to the bad weather, we were the only ones there. My daughter was scared because she can't swim, but Manachan stayed by her side, reassuring her with phrases like, "It's okay, just relax."

The water was murky, but we had fun seeing various things like fish, coral, and sea snakes. At one point, my daughter's tooth fell out, and she panicked, but the adults burst into laughter, making it a memorable snorkeling experience! I was also thrilled to meet the sea turtle I had been wanting to see.
Since the weather was unfortunate, I would like to come back to Miyako Island for a rematch. I hope to see you again then! I was also happy to meet Yamachan, the sea turtle brother I followed on Instagram! 参加当日は雨と風が強かったので中止になるかと思ったら催行してもらえて良かったです！ 一番早い時間で参加しましたが、悪天候だったからなのか私達のみしか人はいませんでした。娘は泳げないのでビビッていましたが、浮き輪につかまった娘にまなちゃんがずっと傍で“大丈夫だよー。安心してね”など声掛けをしてくれていました。 海の中は濁っていましたが魚にサンゴ・ウミヘビなど色々見れて楽しかったです。途中、娘の歯が抜けて本人はパニックってましたが大人達は大爆笑でメチャクチャ記憶に残るシュノーケルになりました☆会いたかった… 参加当日は雨と風が強かったので中止になるかと思ったら催行してもらえて良かったです！ 一番早い時間で参加しましたが、悪天候だったからなのか私達のみしか人はいませんでした。娘は泳げないのでビビッていましたが、浮き輪につかまった娘にまなちゃんがずっと傍で“大丈夫だよー。安心してね”など声掛けをしてくれていました。 海の中は濁っていましたが魚にサンゴ・ウミヘビなど色々見れて楽しかったです。途中、娘の歯が抜けて本人はパニックってましたが大人達は大爆笑でメチャクチャ記憶に残るシュノーケルになりました☆会いたかったウミガメにも会えて感激しました。 あいにくの天候だったのでまたリベンジしに宮古島へ来たいと思います。その時はまたよろしくお願いします！あとインスタフォローしてた海亀兄弟の山ちゃんにも会えて嬉しかったです☆

Thank you very much to Mana and So-chan for attending this time. I learned a lot from your rich knowledge, and it was a meaningful time. Although we gathered early in the morning, there were indeed fewer people, and the sea turtles seemed to be relaxing, or maybe it was just my imagination. Thank you for a wonderful time.
I look forward to seeing you again next time.今回アテンドしてくれた、まな様そうちゃん様本当にありがとうございました。お二人の豊かな知識で勉強になり、有意義な時間になりました。朝イチの集合でしたが、やはり人も少なくウミガメも気のせいかリラックスしていように見えました。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
また次回もどうぞ宜しくお願いいたします。

Snorkeling with sea turtles!

I was really looking forward to swimming with the sea turtles! Seeing them up close and swimming right next to me was incredibly moving. I also got to see clownfish and it became an amazing memory in the beautiful sea! The guide was very kind and considerate, and I got a bit too excited, haha.
The guide kept apologizing for the sea turtles being so fast that we couldn't take a picture together, but it’s okay because the experience is etched in my memory.

Since it was our first trip as a couple, my husband, who isn't fond of the sea, also had a great time, and it truly became a wonderful memory! Thank you so much.
I will definitely reach out again when I visit Miyako Island!
