We had such a wonderful experience with both the snorkeling and canoe tours.

As complete beginners who are not particularly athletic, we were a little nervous at first. However, Shoto (hope I spell right your name, Staff #416) and Ana were incredibly patient, encouraging, and attentive throughout the entire experience. They always made sure we felt safe and comfortable, explained everything clearly, and never rushed us.

Beyond the activities themselves, what impressed us most was the genuine warmth and hospitality of the Okinawan people. Everyone we met was so kind, friendly, and welcoming, which made this trip even more memorable.

Thank you, Shoto, Ana, and the whole team, for making our first snorkeling and kayaking experience such a special one. We will definitely recommend your tours to our friends and hope to come back to Okinawa again in the future!

At the Blue Cave, the tide wasn't too high, so we were able to take a lot of photos both inside and outside the cave! Also, the guide's explanations were thorough, which made the experience enjoyable!青の洞窟では、潮の高さがあまり高くなかったので、洞窟内、外両方でたくさん写真を撮っていただきました！

This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and it was my first time snorkeling. The guide was very reliable, which made me feel at ease, and I had a great time on the tour! Additionally, I learned a lot about various fish, making it a very satisfying experience! The coral was beautiful, and I got to see many different fish, which was amazing! 😁今回は青の洞窟のシュノーケルツアー参加さして頂いたんですけど、初めてのシュノーケルで、ガイドさんがとても頼れる人で安心感があり楽しくツアーできました！
それにいろんな魚の知識を教えてもらい大満足のツアーになりました！

The weather was nice, and the sea was calm, which felt great. The guide constantly checked on our condition, which made us feel very safe. It was great that they led us even though I couldn't swim. I was able to spend time pleasantly with the other participants in the tour, and it truly became a wonderful experience. Thank you very much!天気も良く海も穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが始終、私達の状態を見てくれて、とても安心出来ました。泳げなくてもずっと引率してくれてよかったです。

I had a reservation for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to the typhoon, it was changed to canoeing in the mangrove river. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. It started pouring rain along the way, but that was fun in its own way.青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予約していましたが台風の影響でマングローブの川でカヌーに変更になりました。ガイドさんはいろいろ説明してくれて親切でした。途中で土砂降りになりましたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。

I enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave beach and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the mangrove river. The guides were very kind and taught us well. I was able to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was my first experience with SUP, but I managed to stand up and paddle. Thank you for providing such a great experience.青の洞窟の海岸でシュノーケルとマングローブの川でSUPを楽しみました。ガイドの方達はとても親切に教えてくれました。

Even in the rain, the mangrove canoeing became the best memory! 🛶☔️ Paddling in sync with my friends, I felt excited every time we passed through the mangrove tunnels! It felt just like being part of an expedition.

During the blue cave snorkeling, the sun miraculously came out, and it was so moving! ✨ I was able to see the coral reefs and cute fish up close, and I truly had a wonderful time. 🐠💙

It ended in the blink of an eye, and I had so much fun that I thought, "I want to swim more!" … Even in the rain, the mangrove canoeing became the best memory! 🛶☔️ Paddling in sync with my friends, I felt excited every time we passed through the mangrove tunnels!

They were considerate of those of us who aren't great swimmers, allowing us to explore the Blue Cave while holding onto floaties!

During the latter part of the mangrove forest SUP, the instructors kindly taught us how to paddle at a comfortable pace, allowing us to enjoy it safely. ☺️ It felt amazing to sit while paddling, and when I was able to stand and paddle, it was such a nice feeling! (One of the women from the couple we were with fell into the river but seemed to be having a great time. 😆 Haha.) We thoroughly enjoyed the quintessential Okinawan mangrove forest and learned about the Kijimunaa fairy that resides in the giant banyan trees. I definitely want to participate again! 大人数でバスで移動しましたが、海に入るときには4名前後のグループ行動になります。泳ぎが苦手な私たちにも配慮してくださり、浮き輪に捕まりながら青の洞窟を探検することができました！海の温度に少しずつ慣れる時間があるので安心感があり、小さなお子さんにもおすすめです✨若くて素敵なお兄さん、お姉さんたち（ガイドさんたち）による、周辺の地形や歴史、海の生き物などの説明は勉強になりました✏️ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、数々の種類のお魚を見られましたし、深い溝の上を泳ぐ体験は格別でした🐠🫧

Everyone else on the tour was lovely too, and we waved goodbye with big smiles as we parted ways. 降水確率80%でしたが、しっかり晴れて雨にあたることなく、体験できました。
