It was the best.

I participated without being able to swim at all, but it was fine since I just wore a jacket and floated on the surface. I was able to see the whale shark much closer than I imagined, and it was truly impressive. The guide was also kind, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling experience!全く泳げずでの参加でしたが、ジャケットを着て水面に浮かんでいるだけだったので大丈夫でした。
ジンベエザメも想像よりずっと近くで見ることができ、迫力満点でした。ガイドさんも親切で、とても充実した時間になりました！！

Snorkeling with whale sharks in Okinawa was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Tom. From the start, he explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared before getting in the water. Throughout the experience, he was attentive, patient, and genuinely focused on making sure everyone had a great time.

Tom is a knowledgeable and interactive Scuba certified English speaking guide. This was my first time snorkeling; got to see a whale shark (jinbei) and made it back alive because Tom’s instructions were clear and helpful. Tom is also an avid sea life photographer; his photos are better than anything I could have taken.

A beautiful and mystical experience.

We participated with a group of 10, including an 8-year-old child. Seven of us experienced snorkeling for the first time, and although we had some anxiety, the explanations were thorough. By the end, everyone was smiling and very satisfied. The wonderful photos have become treasures for all of us. If we have the opportunity, we would love to visit again. We are also grateful to all the staff.8歳の子供含め10名で参加させて頂きました
