All Reviews for Marine and Ocean Activities

I boarded the boat without expecting much due to the bad weather, but the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see corals and various types of fish.

悪天候で魚やサンゴも見えないかと期待せず乗船しましたが、海の中は綺麗で、サンゴや色んな種類の魚を見ることができました。

Other stores were closed, but I'm glad this one was open. It was challenging for beginners, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks to all the staff. I want to come again next year.

他のお店は中止してましたが、出来て良かったです。初心者には難しかったけど、それはそれで楽しませて頂きました。スタッフの皆さんのおかげです。また来年も行きたいです。

After arriving at Amami Oshima, I had made a late reservation with some extra time, but I arrived earlier than expected, so I was able to change to an earlier time at the counter.

On the day of the trip, they mentioned that visibility was a bit poor and the boat would sway a little, but the underwater scenery was very beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, which was great. My friend who joined me was also very satisfied, and there was only one other group of customers besides us, so we could enjoy it comfortably.

I think it's highly recommended for families with children. I wonder if it would be even more amazing with good visibility; it was already more than good enough.

奄美大島到着後、時間の余裕をもって遅い時間の予約をしていたのですが、思っていたよりも、早く着いたので、窓口で、一つ前の時間に変更してもらうことが出来ました。
当日は、視界が少し悪いのと、船が少し揺れると言っていたのですが、海の中はとてもきれいで、たくさんの魚が見れて良かったです。一緒に参加した友人も大満足、お客さんも、私たちの他1組だけで、ゆったり見れました。
子供連れのファミリーには、お勧めだと思います。
視界良好の時は、もっと素晴らしいのでしょうか、これでも十分良かったです。

The weather was perfect, there were a few waves, but the staff were fun people and we had a great time! The view from above was amazing! I definitely recommend it!

天気は最高、波は少しあったけど、スタッフも楽しい人達で気持ち良く遊べました！
空からの眺めは素晴らしい！
是非オススメです！

I have taken two dive trips with this provider. The staff speaks fairly good English. He is very friendly and helpful. I was great experience diving with him. I will go back diving with them definitely.

After it was over, I returned to the store and got my car keys back... without even a goodbye.

Coincidentally, the diving shop nearby was seeing off its customers, but it felt more like returning from a relative's house.

During parasailing, the captain made sure to entertain us if we were feeling scared.

終わったら店に戻り
車の鍵を返され・・・
バイバイもなし

たまたまその近所のダイビング店が
客の見送りをしてたが
親戚の家から帰るような感じだった

怖がってると船長さんが楽しませてくれる

Since it was a weekday, the only participants were families and myself. The water was very clear, and upon closer observation, there were many tropical fish! I had never seen tropical fish outside of aquariums or pet shops, so I was truly amazed that they actually exist. I recommend this for those who are a bit hesitant about diving because of sunburn. I am very satisfied.

平日だったこともあり、参加者はご家族連れと私だけでした。海の中はとても透き通っていてよく観察すると熱帯魚がたくさん！！熱帯魚なんて水族館やペットショップ以外で見たことがなかったので、本当に生息してるんだ〜って感動しました。ダイビングは日焼けするのでちょっと、、という方におすすめします。大満足です。

I participated with my 7-year-old daughter. The staff were experienced in handling children, and my daughter had a great time. She is already asking to go kayaking again. The drone video and photo shooting were also excellent! The two staff members were very friendly, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!

７歳の娘と２人で参加しました。
子供の扱いにも慣れていて、娘も楽しんでいました。またカヤックしたいと言っています。
ドローン動画撮影や、写真撮影もとても良かったです！！！
スタッフもとっても気さくなお二方で、本当に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

On February 26, I arrived in Amami. The weather is a bit rainy today, but I enjoyed delicious island cuisine in Naze City, and tomorrow I will finally head to Setouchi Town. I came to report to my grandparents' grave that my father passed away on the 1st of this month.

I have taken a semi-submersible boat several times to see the sea of Setouchi, but this time the course is different, and I wondered where we would go. Since we passed in front of my rural home, I was curious. While listening to the commentary, I went down to the bottom of the boat and was captivated by the beauty of the seabed for a while.

"How beautiful it is!"
"I really love the countryside," I thought sincerely. I used to struggle to adapt to the old-fashionedness of the countryside, but now, as I grow older, I find myself appreciating its charm more and more.

In my teenage years, I didn't remember any corals in the sea right in front of me, so I am extremely happy to see such beautiful corals this time. Of course, I am also mesmerized by the colorful and diverse fish that gather around them.

I can't believe that the area in front of my house has become a tourist spot; my late father must be very pleased. I will definitely come back every year, looking forward to riding the semi-submersible boat with my grandchildren!

２月２６日、奄美に到着。本日は少々雨模様、今日は名瀬市でおいしい島料理に舌鼓をして、いよいよ明日は瀬戸内町。祖父母の墓前に今月1日に父が逝去した報告にやって参りました。
今まで何回か半潜水船に乗り瀬戸内の海を見てきましたが、今回は今までとはコースが違いどこに行くんだろう、しかも田舎の家の前を通っていたのでもしやと思いつつ、鑑賞案内の放送で船底に降りて暫くは海底の美しさに見とれていました。
"なんてきれいなんだろう"
"やっぱり田舎はいいなあ"と心から思い返しつつ、昔は田舎の古臭さがどうしても馴染めなかったのに、今では年を重ねる度に田舎の良さが身に染みて来るようになった自分を見つめ直すことができるようになりました。
十代の頃はすぐ前の海でサンゴがあった記憶はなかったので、今回このような美しいサンゴが見られて非常に嬉しい限りです。
サンゴはもちろんのこと、それに集ってくる色鮮やかで多様な魚達にも見とれてしまいます。
家の前が観光スポットになっていたなんて、亡き父もきっと喜んでいるに違いありません。
毎年必ず帰ってきます。孫と一緒に半潜水船に乗るのを楽しみにして!

After boarding, we departed without any particular explanation. When we approached visible points, there was an announcement to move to the seats where we could see underwater. The coral was very beautiful, and it was great to see many fish. The explanation was on a recorded tape. When I took a similar boat in the remote islands of Okinawa, there was a staff member who provided explanations based on the conditions at that time, which was much easier to understand. It was said to last about 40 minutes, but in reality, it was 35 minutes, and I think we could see underwater for about 20 minutes. It felt short.

乗船後、特に説明もなく出発しました。
見えるポイントがくると、水中が見える席へ移動するようにアナウンスがありました。
珊瑚がとても綺麗で、魚もたくさん見れて良かったです。
説明が録音のテープでした。沖縄の離島で同じような船に乗った時は、その時のコンディションに合わせて説明してくれる係の人がいたので、そっちの方がわかりやすくてよかったです。
時間は約40分とありましたが、実際は35分で、水中を見れた時間は20分くらいかと思います。短く感じました。

The underwater sightseeing is possible because of the beautiful sea. First, I parked my car at the Setouchi Marine Station. The parking here is free for up to two hours. Inside the Setouchi Marine Station, there are dining options and a small souvenir shop. You can purchase tickets inside the marine station. I had made a reservation online in advance, so after confirming on my mobile screen, I received my tickets. The boarding area for the boat is nearby, marked by the large tuna on the back. Excitedly, I boarded the boat! Off we went! I was told that we wouldn't see anything for the first five minutes, but we waited at a spot where we could see underwater. Before long, we reached a point where we could see coral. An announcement explaining the corals and fish was made. While listening to the explanation, I gazed into the water. I saw many corals and fish. The sea is truly beautiful. If you're lucky, you might even see a turtle! It was so wonderful that I wished I could have looked longer! Perhaps because it was winter, there were fewer passengers, allowing us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. If you want to have a relaxed sightseeing experience, I recommend winter! The town is also less crowded!

I was very satisfied with the sightseeing and would give it five stars, but I thought it would have been better if the sightseeing lasted a bit longer, so I rated it four stars.

キレイな海だからこそ出来る水中観光。
まず、せとうち海の駅に車を止めました。ここのパーキングは2時間まで無料です。せとうち海の駅内は食事ができたり、小さいですがお土産売り場もありました。海の駅内でチケットの購入が出来ます。前もってネットで予約していたので、携帯画面で確認後チケットをもらいました。船の乗り場は近くにあります。目印は大きなマグロの裏側になります。わくわくしながら乗船！いざ出発！始めの5分ぐらいは何も見えませんと言われましたが、下の水中が見えるところで待機。あっという間にサンゴが見えるポイントへ。サンゴや魚の説明のアナウンスが流れてきました。その説明を聞きながら水中を眺めます。たくさんのサンゴや魚が見えました。本当にキレイな海です。運が良ければカメもみれるらしいです！もっと眺めていたいと思うぐらい素敵でした！冬だからか、乗車人数が少なくゆっくり楽しむことができました。のんびり観光したい方は冬がおすすめです！町中も空いてますよ！
観光は大満足で星5ですが、ただもう少し長い時間の観光だと良かったなと思ったので、4つにしました。

It was cold, as expected for January.
However, the water was very beautiful, and there were lots of fish.
Since it was a boat snorkeling trip, we were taken to great spots.

寒かったです。さすがに、1月は。
でも、海の中はとても綺麗でした。魚もいっぱいいましち。
ボートシュノーケルだったので、いいポイントに連れて行ってもらいました。

My first sea experience in Hokkaido
I heard that the sea is beautiful and there is delicious food, so I went to Shakotan.
In a word, it was quite good!!!
Unfortunately, a typhoon was approaching, and I was worried about whether I could participate, but I was able to safely encounter the amazing Shakotan blue and its creatures!
The guide who kindly and thoroughly showed us around was wonderful too!!!

北海道での初めての海
海が綺麗、美味しい食べ物があるという情報を聞き積丹に行きました。
一言で言うと、かなりよかった！！！
あいにく台風が来ており、参加できるか心配していましたが、無事、最高の積丹ブルーと生き物たちに出会うことができました！
懇切丁寧に、案内してくれたガイドさんも素敵でした！！！

The experience location is a very beautiful sea where you can enjoy activities like swimming, in Amami. The meeting point is easy to find, and driving along the road, there was no chance of getting lost.

This activity is suitable for beginners exploring the sea for the first time. I hadn't swum in years, so I was a bit anxious about entering the water at first, but there’s no need to worry as the instructor pulls a float for those who can't swim. With life jackets, fins, and masks provided, there’s no concern about sinking, and I quickly got used to it. Of course, those who can swim can dive in freely.

We were divided into two large groups, with about ten people in total, and we explored underwater at a leisurely pace. We were able to see sea urchins, sea hares, and other strange marine creatures that are not usually visible. Entering the Blue Cave and going a bit deeper, I was moved when I turned around and saw the entire water surface illuminated with a divine blue light.

The duration of 1 hour and 45 minutes was quite suitable for beginners. As long as you’re not resistant to water, this is an activity that anyone can enjoy, so definitely participate and create wonderful summer memories!

体験場所は海水浴などもできるとてもきれいな海、美国。集合場所などはわかりやすく、車で道沿いを走っていくと、迷うことはありませんでした。
初めて海を探索する初心者向きのアクティビティーです。もう何年も泳いでいないので、海に入ること自体最初は少し不安でしたが、 泳ぎができない人でもインストラクターがビートバンを引いてくれるので特に心配はいりません。しっかりとライフジャケット、フィンやマスクを装備するので、沈む心配はもちろんなく、すぐに慣れました。泳げる人はもちろん、進んでどんどん潜っていって大丈夫です。この回は、大きく2グループに分かれて、計10名程でゆっくりと水中探索をしました。
普段は見ることのできない、ウニやアメフラシ、その他不思議な見たことのない海中生物を見ることができました。青の洞窟に入り、少し奥の方まで行き、振り返ると水面全体に神々しい青の光が見られた時は感動的でした。
1時間45分という時間も初心者レベルにはわりとちょうど良かったです。
水に抵抗さえなければ、誰でも楽しめるアクティビティーなので、ぜひ一度参加して、楽しい夏の思い出をつくりましょう。

It was a package with parasailing and banana boat rides, and the weather was perfect! Since parasailing involves other guests participating in the same session, we had to wait on the boat while others were parasailing. It was fun, but I suffered from seasickness, so I give it a rating of 3.

パラセーリングとバナナボートのパックでしたが、お天気にも恵まれ最高でした！
パラセーリングは他のお客さんも一緒の回に参加するため、他の方がパラセーリングされている間の待ち時間は船の上で待機…。楽しかったのですが、当方船酔いに悩まされ、評価3つです。

I was worried about the typhoon, but there was no wind or waves, and I was able to experience it. I was concerned because I can't swim very well, but I was able to float with the life jacket, and the instructor was watching over us closely, so I felt safe exploring the ocean.

The underwater scenery was filled with sea urchins, allowing me to enjoy the essence of Shakotan, and the Blue Cave was even more beautiful than I had imagined, leaving me very satisfied.

I would love to participate again.

It was fun. Thank you very much.

台風が心配でしたが、風も波もなく体験することができました。
あまり泳げないので心配でしたが、ライフジャケットで浮くことができたことと、
インストラクターさんがしっかり見ていてくださったので、安心して海の中を見ることができました。
海の中はウニがいっぱいで積丹感を味わえ、また、青の洞窟は想像以上にキレイで大満足でした。
また参加したいです。

楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

I misunderstood that the snorkeling at the Blue Cave would last 45 minutes after the cruise from the boat, so it surprisingly went by quickly at the cave close to the beach. Perhaps due to the season, the underwater visibility wasn't very good. The color of the Blue Cave didn't appear very blue, and it might have been a timing issue since I participated at 3 PM. The surface of the water didn't look blue at all; it appeared greenish. Since I was looking from the surface, I thought it would be nicer if there wasn't any trash. Are there various points in the Blue Cave? There might be more beautiful spots, but I probably won't repeat the experience. The shop staff were interesting, kind, and nice. The road from Sapporo to Shakotan was really congested, and what should have taken less than two hours ended up taking three, making me worry that I would miss lunch. There were restaurants near the shop where you could eat seafood bowls.

船からのクルーズして、そこから青の洞窟で降りてシュノーケリングが４５分だと勘違いしていたので
、浜から近い場所の洞窟で以外にあっとゆう間だった。
時期的なものなのか水中の透明度は良く無い。
青の洞窟の色はあまり青く見えず、３時からの参加だったのが時間的に良くなかったのかもしれない。
水面上は全く青く見えず、水面は緑に光って見えました。
水面で見ていたので、ゴミがなければもう少し綺麗だといいなと思いました。
青の洞窟もポイントが色々あるんでしょうか？もっときれいな場所もあるかもしれませんが、
リピートはしないかな。ショップのお姉さんは面白くて優しくていい方でした。
札幌から積丹方面がすごく混んでいて２時間弱で来れるはずが、３時間かかってお昼ご飯を
食べそこなうかと思いました。ショップ付近に海鮮丼など食べられるお店は有りました。

It was the best sunset I've ever seen! The staff member was cheerful and fun, and the photos they took were amazing! I plan to participate again next year!

今まで見た夕焼けの中で最高の夕焼けでした！スタッフのお兄さんも陽気で楽しく、撮っていただいた写真も最高でした！また来年も参加しようと思います！

I was worried about the heavy rain on the day of the event and called in advance, but I was told, "The sea in Shakotan is calm with no waves, so there’s no problem." As the rain intensified during the journey, I felt a bit anxious.

I walked to the beach wearing the marine boots and wetsuit that I had pre-ordered. The sea was not as cold as I expected, and we swam to the cave with the help of a friendly instructor. The water was very clear. Along the way, the instructor explained the marine life we found, let us hold some, and we passed through shallow areas where seaweed stretched up to the surface.

The cave we aimed for was much narrower and darker than I had imagined. We all held onto a rope and moved deeper with our eyes closed. It was a bit scary since I couldn't gauge the distance and there were rocks if I reached out. This cave was also home to bats, which surprised me as there were so many. Please check the actual colors on-site.

Even those who can't swim can safely enter the water with a life jacket, so there's no need to worry. For those who lack confidence in swimming, you can be pulled along. This experience is also recommended for those who are a bit unsure about swimming. It’s nice to receive the data from the underwater camera as well. (The attached photos were taken with my own camera.)

I regret forgetting to have someone take a photo of us swimming from the sea floor.

Next, I want to challenge myself at Lake Shikotsu.

The staff were very kind when explaining the way to the equipment and swimming.

当日地元の天候が大雨で開催されるか心配し、事前に電話連絡するも「積丹の海は波もなく穏やかなので問題ないです」との事、道中雨が強くなったりする度にそわそわしながら伺いました。
事前に申告してあったサイズのマリンブーツやウェットスーツ等を着て歩いて浜辺迄移動します。
海も思ったよりは冷たくなく、親切なインストラクターのおねぇさんと洞窟まで泳いでいきます。
そして、海の透明度が高かったです。
途中見つけた海洋生物を説明して下さったり、手に乗せて下さったり海藻が水面まで伸びている浅瀬を通ったり・・・。
お目当ての洞窟は思ったよりもとっても狭くて暗い。
ロープを全員で持って目をつぶって奥に進みます。
これが距離感覚も無いし手を伸ばせば岩だしで、ちょっと怖い。
そしてこの洞窟は蝙蝠が飛ぶ洞窟でした。
沢山居てそっちにもビックリ。
実際の色はぜひ現地で確認してみてください。

泳げない方でもライフジャケットで沈む事は無いので安心して海に入れます。
泳ぎに自信の無い方は引っ張ってもらえます。
ちょっと泳ぎに自信がないって方にもオススメ出来る内容でした。
水中カメラで撮ってくださったデータを頂けるのもうれしいですね。
（添付した写真は自分のカメラで撮影したものです）

海底から泳ぐ私たちを撮ってもらい忘れたのだけ心残りでした。

次は支笏湖にチャレンジしたいです。

Staffs are very kind when explain way to stuffs and swimming;)

Last year, I visited Shakotan for the first time and fell in love at first sight with the stunning Shakotan Blue.

This year, I decided to try something different and challenge myself with night snorkeling!

The day before, there was heavy rain in Hokkaido, so I was worried about whether we could actually snorkel with water overflowing from various places. However, when I called to confirm, I received the reassuring words, "Of course you can! We did it even during the day when it was raining!" So, off I went for my first snorkeling and night snorkeling adventure!

Since it was my first time, the explanations were clear and thorough. After putting on the wetsuit and life jacket, we walked about five minutes to the beach and entered the water! The beach was very calm, with no waves at all!

I was really anxious because I can't swim (even though I was the one who wanted to do night snorkeling, haha), but I held onto a kickboard and was pulled by the instructor. It was super easy! When I thought about it, I had fins and a life jacket on, so I could swim after all!

When I looked into the water, I was surprised to see so many different fish! On the sea urchin road, there were tons of sea urchins! As expected of Shakotan!

I also got to hear many funny stories from the instructor, and they even dove down to collect starfish and sea urchins for me to touch!

While doing all this, we arrived at a cave!

With my heart racing, I turned off my flashlight inside the cave, and when I peered into the pitch-black sea, I saw shimmering bioluminescent plankton... I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" while waving my hands around. The bioluminescent plankton react to stimuli, so as I looked while being pulled along, I saw them scatter, responding to the instructor's fins, like countless shooting stars flowing by.

I learned that bioluminescent plankton can be seen anywhere in Japan, but because there are fewer plankton remains in the sea around Hokkaido, they can be seen more beautifully here than in any other sea in Japan.

Thank you for such a fun time! The night sea was magical, and I had a precious experience that left me very satisfied. I think I might get hooked on snorkeling!

I want to come back next year—Shakotan! And night snorkeling! Next time, I want to swim on my own!

去年、初めて積丹へ来て、見事なまでの積丹ブルーに一目惚れしました(人*´∀｀)

今年は趣向を変えてナイトシュノーケルに挑戦っ‼︎

前日に北海道で大雨ということもあり、当日は滝のようにいろんな所から水が溢れており、シュノーケルできるのか不安でしたが、

当日、確認のためにした電話では「もちろんできますよ‼︎日中も雨でもやってました‼︎」との心強いお言葉をいただき、いざ、初めてのシュノーケル&ナイトシュノーケルへ‼︎笑

初めてということでわかりやすく、丁寧な説明をしていただき、ウェットスーツやライフジャケット等を装備ののち、5分くらい歩いた海岸から着水っ‼︎
とても穏やかな海岸のようで波は全くなかったです‼︎

泳げないため、不安で不安で仕方なかったのですが、(自分からナイトシュノーケルやりたいといったくせに笑)ビート板に捕まってインストラクターの方に引っ張ってもらいました♪
すっごく楽チンでした♪笑
よく考えたら足ヒレ付けてライフジャケット着るので泳げました笑

海の中を覗くといろんな魚がたくさんいてびっくり‼︎
うにロードでは大量のうにがいました‼︎さすが積丹‼︎‼︎

インストラクターの方のおもしろい話もいっぱい聞けて、笑
ヒトデやウニを潜って採ってきてくれて触らせてもらって‼︎‼︎ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

そんなこんなをしているうちに洞窟に到着‼︎

洞窟の中でドキドキしながら懐中電灯を消し、
真っ暗な海の中を覗くと、キラキラと揺らめく夜光虫が。。。。。
シュノーケルを付けたまま
わぁぁぁo(*>▽<*)o
と歓声をあげてひたすら手を動かしてました☆★
夜光虫は刺激に反応して光るとのことで、引っ張ってもらいながら覗くと、インストラクターさんの足ヒレに反応して光りながら散っていくんです☆★☆★☆
まるで無数の流れ星が流れているようでした(人´∀｀*).｡:*+゜゜+*:.｡.*:+☆

夜光虫は日本中どこでも見れるとのことですが、北海道の海ではプランクトンの死骸が少ないため、日本中のどこの海よりも綺麗に見ることができるそうです☆★

とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました‼︎
夜の海は幻想的で、貴重な体験をさせてもらい、大満足でした♪♪
シュノーケルにハマってしまいそうです♪

また来年も来たいな〜♡積丹♡
そして、ナイトシュノーケル♡
今度は自力で泳ぎたいと思います笑

Seven Seas was excellent. Great instruction, decent equipment, a perfect learning environment, and a really nice facility just five minute walk to the water. Definitely wear sun block, even on a cloudy day. The English language capability of the instructors was very limited, but for me it was sufficient. They were very helpful and keen to see that I picked up the basics. All around a wonderful day. Very much appreciated.

I participated with a friend. Despite being the day before, I was able to make a smooth reservation online. We went directly to the meeting point without a shuttle, and the explanation of the designated location was clear, so we arrived without getting lost. The beach was close to the parking lot, and the red tent was easy to spot. The facilities were clean, with changing rooms, showers, and towel rentals available. Since there were no coin lockers, they took care of our belongings at the reception. I was able to participate with peace of mind after confirming necessary details via phone beforehand. It was my first time trying marine sports other than banana boating, and each activity was thrilling; I almost got thrown into the sea if I relaxed for a moment. The instructor was very kind and adjusted the speed and swaying according to our requests. Above all, the sea was beautiful, and the beach had relatively few tourists, making it the perfect location for marine sports. I had a great time, and the staff were very friendly.

友達とふたりで参加させてもらいました。前日にもかかわらずネットでスムーズに予約することができました。送迎なしで集合場所に直接行きましたが、指定された場所の説明もわかりやすく迷うことなく着くことができました。駐車場からビーチもすぐで、目印の赤いテントも見つけやすかったです。更衣室、シャワー、タオルの貸し出しもありきれいな施設でした。コインロッカーはないとのことで受付で預かってくれました。事前に電話連絡で必要事項等の確認もあり安心して参加することができました。バナナボート以外が初めてのマリンスポーツでしたがどれもこれもスリル満点でちょっと気を抜くと海に投げ出されそうになりました。インストラクターのお兄さんもとても優しく要望にあわせてスピードや揺れなども変えてくれました。なにより海がきれいで観光客も比較的少ないビーチだったので最高のロケーションでマリンスポーツができてとても楽しかったです。スタッフの方たちもとても親切でした。

This time, I experienced the Super Marble, Banana Boat, Half Pipe, and Biscuit with the Scream 4 menu!!! I love thrill rides, so I had an incredibly fun time, and even my friends who aren't good with thrill rides enjoyed it a lot (^○^)

Honestly, I was desperately hanging on to avoid falling, but if you have the leisure to look around, the clear water and blue sky are amazing. The scenery is fantastic, and being able to enjoy that really lifts your spirits!

Regarding the Half Pipe, I could sit while riding, but I chose to lie face down! The water is crystal clear and very beautiful, and if you want to experience the thrill, I recommend this way of riding~♪ However, with this method and the Banana Boat, a lot of water splashes on your face, so I wouldn't recommend heavy makeup like false eyelashes. My throat hurt from screaming too much, but the seawater in Okinawa isn't sticky, and if you're in Okinawa, this is definitely an activity you should try! I highly recommend it＼(^o^)／

今回スクリーム４というメニューでスーパーマーブル・バナナボート・ハーフパイプ・ビスケット？を体験しました！！！
私は絶叫系が大好きなので、感想はとてもとても楽しかったし、絶叫系が得意じゃない友達もすごく楽しんでいました(^○^)
正直、落ちない様にしがみつくので必死でしたが余裕があれば海面の透き通った感じや、青い空。景色が最高なのでそこも見て楽しんでもらえるととても気分が上がって最高ですよ！！
ハーフパイプに関しては、座って乗ることも出来ましたが、あえてうつ伏せになり乗りました！
水面が透き通ってとても綺麗だし、スリルを味わいたいならこのやり方がオススメですよ〜♪
ただ、このやり方とバナナボートでは顔に水がたくさんかかって化粧がぐちゃぐちゃになったのでつけまつげなどガッツリメイクはオススメしません。叫び過ぎて喉が痛くなりますが沖縄の海水はベトベトしないし、せっかく沖縄に来たのならぜひやってもらいたいアクティビィティです！オススメです＼(^o^)／

After diving in the beautiful sea, I was looking for a way to experience the beautiful sky, and I found this monitor.

Maybe because it was early in the morning, we had the boat all to ourselves! What a luxury! ♪
We headed to the boat on a banana boat, which made it feel a bit like a bargain (laughs).
The only place we got wet was our butts and legs.

The conditions were perfect!
Once we got on the boat, we chatted with the experienced captain while heading out to sea—his explanations were thorough, which made me feel at ease.
The moment the parachute opened was exhilarating! ♪♪
And then, we were off into the sky!

*Please be careful with glasses and phones, as it's your responsibility if they fall.*

The sky! So beautiful! The sea is amazing!!!
As we were having fun, we ascended to about 30 meters.
That's quite a height.
The wind felt nice, and when a stronger gust came, it swayed a bit. That was fun too! ♪
I was reluctant to come down; it felt like we had the sky and sea all to ourselves.

After landing, the guys folding the parachute were impressive (laughs).

Afterward, we could borrow a shower and bath towels, so we felt refreshed.
It was the best detox!

The staff were kind, and we talked about asking Berry for other activities next time.

It was a lot of fun.
Thank you very much! ☆

綺麗な海に潜ったあとは、綺麗な空も体験したいと探していたら、このモニターを見つけました。

朝イチだったからか、二人で貸し切り！贅沢ー♪
船までバナナボートで向かうのでちょっとだけお得な気分(笑)
濡れるのはここだけ。お尻と足だけでした。

コンディションは最高！
船についてから、ベテラン感のある船長さんと雑談しつつ海へー！丁寧な説明を受けました。安心。
パラグライダーが広がる瞬間はテンション上がります♪♪
すぐ、空へ！

※眼鏡や携帯は落ちたら自己責任なので、ご注意を※

空！綺麗ー！海、すごーい！！！
とはしゃいでいると30mぐらいまで上空へ。
かなりの高さです。
風が気持ちよく、少し強い風がくると揺れます。それもまた楽しい♪
降りるのが名残惜しいぐらいで、空と海を二人締めした気分でした。

降りたあと、パラグライダー畳むお兄さんたちの手際も素晴らしい(笑)

終わったらシャワーもバスタオルも借りれて、スッキリサッパリです。
最高のデトックスでした！

お店の方たちも親切で、また他のアクティビティにも参加の際はベリーさんに頼もうか、と話して帰りました。

楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました☆

Parasailing Experience♡

My boyfriend and I traveled to Okinawa. It was my first time back in a while, and it was his first time in Okinawa and his first time trying marine sports. As someone who loves Okinawa, I wanted him to experience the beauty of the ocean from above, so I decided to book parasailing and a marine walk where we could see underwater. However, experiencing both at the same time was a bit pricey, so I searched online and found the site for VELTRA ( • ̀ω•́ )✧ I think we were able to experience it at a better price than anywhere else! By the way, the marine sports were provided by BERRY located in Nago City♡

We arrived in Okinawa on June 6 (Monday)! It was right in the middle of the rainy season, and of course, it was raining... My spirits were really low... When I made the reservation, they mentioned to call the day before for confirmation, so I called BERRY. They kindly explained everything we needed to know for the next day! They answered all my questions about the weather and more very politely, which left a great impression on me♡ Thank you, Suzuki-san ( ⸝⸝•ᴗ•⸝⸝ )

Then on June 7 (Tuesday), despite the rainy forecast for Okinawa, we were surprised by clear skies! Excited, we drove to Weed Beach! (There was also a free shuttle bus available if you didn't want to drive.) It was so beautiful! The ocean was incredibly clear! I couldn't believe it had rained heavily the day before! It was completely transparent with no murkiness at all! The sandy beach was white and beautiful♡ I saw various beaches in Nago City, but this one was possibly the most beautiful! After checking in, we received an explanation from a friendly staff member, who warned us that we would get sunburned in an instant! (laughs) So, we applied sunscreen inside the reception tent (there were changing rooms and restrooms inside). Wearing life jackets, we headed to the point with eight people, including us, on the boat. Once we arrived, the staff helped us with the belts, and off we went into the sky…♡

For first-timers, you might feel uneasy with just this belt, but it's surprisingly secure, and your body doesn't move. My boyfriend was a bit nervous too, but we went up into the air just like that (laughs). It was indeed beautiful. My boyfriend's anxiety about parasailing vanished, and he was just excitedly saying, "It's so beautiful!!!!!!!" (laughs). We etched the stunning scenery into our memories, creating wonderful memories. When we go to Okinawa again, we will definitely be back!

パラセーリング体験♡


彼と２人で沖縄旅行。私は久しぶりの沖縄。
彼は初めての沖縄、初めてのマリンスポーツでした。沖縄大好きな私は、彼にも沖縄の海の綺麗さを知ってもらいたくて、上から眺められるパラセーリングと、海の中が見えるマリンウォークを申し込む事にしました。
でも、２つを同時に体験するには、少しお値段が…って事でネットで調べまくって探し出したのがＶＥＬＴＲＡさんのサイトでした( • ̀ω•́ )✧何処よりもお安く体験出来たんじゃないかな？って思ってます♡
ちなみに、マリンスポーツをさせてくれたのは、名護市にあるＢＥＲＲＹさんでした♡

６月６日(月)沖縄到着！梅雨真っ只中で、やっぱり雨…テンションガタ落ち…
予約をした際に、前日に確認の電話をして下さい。との事でＢＥＲＲＹさんに、お電話。明日の確認事項をとても丁寧に教えてくださいました！天気の事など色々質問しても全て丁寧に答えて下さり、とっても好印象でした♡鈴木さん( ⸝⸝•ᴗ•⸝⸝ )
そして６月７日(火)梅雨の沖縄…勿論雨予報…だったのに、まさかの快晴！ワクワクしながら、自分達の車でウィードビーチへ！(自分達で行かなくても、無料送迎バスもありました )
めっちゃ綺麗！海が凄く綺麗！前日に大雨が降ったとは思えない！全く濁りがなくて本当に透明！砂浜も白くて綺麗♡名護市内の色んなビーチを見たけど１番綺麗だったかも！って位綺麗！♡受付を済ませたらフレンドリーな店員さんから説明を受け、一瞬で焦げますよ！と、お姉さんに脅されたので(笑)受付のテントの中で日焼け止めをヌリヌリ（中に入れば更衣室もトイレもありました）ライフジャケットを身に付けて、私達を含めた８人で船で、ポイントまで向かいました。ポイントに着きお兄さんにベルトを付けてもらって、いざ、空へ…♡
初めての人は、このベルトだけ？と不安がよぎると思いますが、意外にしっかり固定されてて身体は動きません。彼もビクビクしていました。が、そのまま空中へ(笑)
やっぱり綺麗。パラセーリング初体験の彼の不安も何処へやら…興奮して
『綺麗だねッッッッ！！！！！』しか言ってませんでした(笑)綺麗な景色を目に焼き付け、素敵な思い出になりました。また沖縄に行った際には、よろしくお願いします！

We took advantage of Golden Week to visit Okinawa as a couple from Aichi Prefecture. We had experienced parasailing in Guam, but my wife was adamant about trying it in Okinawa as well, so we quickly signed up with VELTRA three days prior. Among many options, we found a members-only monitor tour and booked it.

Since our parasailing was scheduled for the day we arrived in Okinawa, we drove our rental car to Berry. We quickly changed, completed the paperwork, and borrowed life jackets before boarding the boat anchored at the beach. The boat was so beautiful that when I asked the staff, they told me it was a new vessel that had just been launched.

Although it was a bit cloudy, we moved to the parasailing point, and the staff began preparations. They attached the equipment and gear to us, and we waited for the wind. It seemed that it was difficult to catch a good breeze that day, as we spent about 40 minutes opening and closing the parachute and falling into the sea before finally being ready with the parachute fully open. Thanks to the time taken, the cloudy weather began to clear up.

Due to the weight difference, my wife went in front while I took the back, and we were all set. Off we went into the Okinawa sky… We jumped from the boat, and as the rope extended, we quickly reached a height where all we could hear was the sound of the wind.

The view was breathtaking, with blue seas and blue skies as far as the eye could see. I took plenty of photos with my camera, feeling like a bird during our 10-minute aerial stroll. The experience was exhilarating, and we chatted happily, but before we knew it, our fun time was over as the rope was reeled back in. We watched another group of guys enjoy their aerial stroll from the boat before concluding our parasailing experience. After returning to the beach and changing in the changing room, everything was finished.

It had been a while since my last parasailing experience, but it was incredibly satisfying. The boat was new and beautiful, and the staff were friendly, making it a fun time. I definitely want to try parasailing again when I visit Okinawa!

ゴールデンウィークを利用して愛知県から夫婦２人で沖縄へ遊びに来ましたぁ。パラセーリングはグアムで体験したんですが、奥さんが絶対に沖縄でもパラセーリングしたいって事で急遽3日前にVELTRAさんに申し込みしました。たくさんある中から会員様限定モニターツアーを見つけポチりました。
沖縄到着当日のパラセーリングだったのでレンタカーにてベリーさんへ。早速着替えて手続きし、ライフジャケットを借りて海岸に停泊してあるボートに乗船。船があまりに綺麗だったのでスタッフさんに聞いたら新艇で最近おろしたばかりとの事。
少し曇り気味だったけどパラセーリングのポイントまで移動してスタッフさん準備開始。自分らにも器具やら金具を取り付けてもらい気分屋の風待ち。この日はナカナカいい風がつかめないらしく 40分ぐらいパラシュートを開いたり海に落ちたりを繰り返し ようやくパラシュート全開にて準備完了。時間かかったおかげで曇りだった天気も晴れてきた。
体重差があるので奥さんを前に 自分が後ろになりセット完了。いざ沖縄の空へ…
船から飛び出し だんだんロープが伸ばされていき、すぐに風の音しか聞こえない上空へ。
見渡す限りの青い海に 青い空。持参したカメラで撮影しまくり 鳥にでもなった気分で10分ほどの空中散歩。上空は気分爽快でヤミツキになるね^_^と会話もはずみ、楽しい時間はアッという間に終わり ロープを巻き上げ船の上に。 もう1組の兄さん達の空中散歩を船から見学してパラセーリング体験が終了。 海岸に帰って更衣室で着替えて全てが終了。
久々のパラセーリングだったけど、とても満足できた体験でした。船の新しく綺麗だし、スタッフさんも気さくな方々で楽しかったです。 また沖縄に行ったら是非パラセーリングしたいですねー

I participated in this activity because I wanted to create some summer memories. First, all participants gathered for a brief explanation at the shop, followed by a lecture on where to position ourselves on the board and how to hold our hands at the beach. After that, we headed to the ocean with each instructor assigned to about 3 to 4 people.

In the ocean, the instructors provided individual guidance. On this day, a typhoon was approaching, making the wind and waves quite challenging for beginners. At first, I kept falling off the board and found it difficult to stand, but as I gradually got the hang of it, it became very refreshing and fun. By the end, it seemed like everyone was able to ride for quite a while.

I didn't expect to be able to ride so well in just one day, so I was very satisfied. I think the instructors were very skilled in their teaching methods. Moreover, everyone was friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you for teaching me the joy of windsurfing.

夏の思い出に何かしたいということで、こちらに参加しました。
まず、参加者全員でショップで簡単な説明を聞き、浜でボードの乗る位置や手の持つ位置のレクチャーを受け、その後は、各インストラクターと海へ。3~4人に1人のインストラクターがついていました。
海では、インストラクターが、一人づつにレクチャーしてくれます。この日は、台風が近づいていたこともあり、風や波が初心者には、大変でした。初めは、すぐにボードから落ちてしまって立つのも大変でしたが、徐々に立てるようになってくると、とても爽快で楽しかったです。終わるころには、みんな結構長い間、乗ることができていたように思います。
1日で、こんなに乗れるようになるとは思っていなかったので、満足でした。インストラクターの教え方が上手なのだと思います。しかも皆さん、気さくで話しやすかったです。
ウィンドサーフィンの楽しさを教えて頂きありがとうございました。

We had an amazing time on the kayak trip! The guide of our group was super kind, funny and went though the directions and how to use the kayak very thoroughly. We were very lucky that the weather turned out nice and the kayaking itself was not difficult. The views of the mountains all around was lovely. We took a break on an island while the guide made us tea and served us local sweets.

I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good way to spend half a day in Tsushima!

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun.
Parasailing looked scary from the boat, but once I tried it, it felt amazing.
The banana boat was also fun. It was better than when I rode it when my kids were little.

お天気にも恵まれ楽しかったです。
パラセールは舟の上から見ていると怖そうですが
やってみると、とても気持ち良かったです。
バナナボートも楽しかったです。
子供が小さい時に乗った時より良かったです。

The banana boat is a lot of fun and the snorkeling with clownfish is also good. The only issue for myself is the water is too wavy and I got a bit sea sick. Overall its highly recommend to couples and families with young children
