All Reviews for Snorkeling

The guide was very friendly to the children, and we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind! Meeting the sea turtles and Nemo was the best!

子どもにとてもフレンドリーなガイドさんで、安心して楽しめました！
ウミガメやニモにも会えて最高でした！

For my husband's birthday celebration, the two of us were able to meet the turtles 🐢 that we love while snorkeling 🤿. We had a wonderful time! Thank you, So-chan and Mana-chan 😊.

主人の誕生日の記念に、2人で、シュノーケル🤿大好きな亀🐢に、逢えました。
幸せな時間を過ごすことが出来ました♪
そうちゃん、まなちゃん、ありがとう😊

I had planned a trip to Okinawa with a friend, but they couldn't make it, so I ended up going alone. Honestly, at first, I thought, "Oh, I'm going alone..." but by the end, I had so much fun that I completely forgot about it!

It was great that I was the only Japanese speaker that day, allowing me to fully enjoy the atmosphere of an overseas resort. In fact, it was very relaxing to spend time without having to worry about anything (laughs).

The staff explained everything carefully, alternating between Japanese and English, which made it easy to understand and allowed me to participate with confidence. Moreover, the water was incredibly clear that day, and I even got to see sea turtles, which made me very satisfied.

This was my first time in Kerama, and I had wanted to go for a long time, so I'm really glad I didn't give up just because I was going alone.

Another highlight was receiving photos taken with a GoPro, which allowed me to capture memories. I plan to show them off to my friends when I get back!

沖縄旅行を一緒に予定していた友人が来られなくなり、急遽ひとりで参加しました。正直、最初は「ひとりか…」と思っていたのですが、終わる頃にはそんなことを忘れるくらい楽しめました！

たまたまこの日は日本語話者が自分だけで、海外リゾートらしい雰囲気を存分に味わえたのも良かったです。むしろ気を遣わずに過ごせて、とても気楽でした（笑）

スタッフの方は日本語と英語を交互に使いながら丁寧に説明してくださったので、内容も分かりやすく安心して参加できました。さらに、この日は海の透明度がとても高く、ウミガメにも出会うことができて大満足です。

初めての慶良間だったので以前から行ってみたいと思っていましたが、「ひとり参加だから」という理由で諦めなくて本当に良かったなと。

GoProで撮影した写真をもらえたのも嬉しいポイントで、思い出を写真に残すことができたので、帰ったら友人に自慢しようと思います。

I highly recommend the morning snorkeling, so I made an effort to wake up early and joined the 7:00 session. It was my first time snorkeling, but they carefully taught us warm-up exercises and safety tips, and once we entered the sea, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful water that made me forget my nerves.

I encountered so many creatures, including tropical fish, clownfish, lionfish, and sea snakes! I was really happy that they swam at our pace while sharing interesting facts about the marine life! Towards the end, I even got to see a sea turtle, which was incredibly moving 😂😂. I found the way the sea turtle came up for air to be so endearing!

Mana-chan and Sou-chan checked on our well-being throughout the experience, and I think it was thanks to these two that I could enjoy my first snorkeling adventure with peace of mind! Thank you so much! I want to visit Miyako Island again and go snorkeling; it was the best snorkeling experience ever! 😊

午前中のシュノーケリングがオススメということで頑張って早起きして朝イチの7:00で参加しました。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、準備運動や気をつけることを丁寧に教えてもらいいざ海へ入ると、緊張していたことを忘れるほどの綺麗な海に圧倒しました。
熱帯魚やカクレクマノミ、ミノカサゴ、ウミヘビ等ほんとにたくさんの生き物に遭遇できました！生き物たちの豆知識をまじえながら私たちのスピードに合わせながら泳ぎ進めてくれたのもとても嬉しかったです！終盤、ウミガメにも会えて、めちゃくちゃ感動しました😂😂ウミガメの息継ぎする姿が愛おしく感じました笑
まなちゃん、そうちゃんにはその都度その都度、体調確認をしてくれてこの2人が居てくれたからこそ、初めてのシュノーケリングを安心して楽しめたと思います！ありがとうございました！また宮古島にも行きたいし、シュノーケリングもやりたいと思えた、最高のシュノーケリングになりました😊

Thank you very much for taking care of the four mature women the other day. The Blue Cave was absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Risa's amazing support, I was able to enjoy the underwater world with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to rely on VELTRA. Thank you so much! ♡

先日は熟女４人、大変お世話になりました。青の洞窟、めっちゃ素敵でした。
りさちゃんの神対応のお陰で、安心して海の世界を楽しむことができました。また機会がありましたら、VELTRAさんにお世話になりたいと思います♡ありがとうございました♡

It was my first trip to Miyako Island! I had a great time seeing lots of fish in the beautiful sea! I was also happy to meet a sea turtle!

初めての宮古島旅行でした！
綺麗な海でたくさんお魚見れて楽しかったです！ウミガメにも会えて嬉しかったです！

It was my first time diving and snorkeling, but the guide was very polite and kind, which was great. The sea was very beautiful.

初めてのダイビング、シュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドの方がとても丁寧で親切で良かったです
海はとても綺麗でした

I was amazed by the sheer number of fish I've never seen before, all so colorful! I was also thrilled to see Nemo in person, something I've only seen in videos before.

これまで見たことないくらいたくさんのお魚と、色鮮やかな魚ばかりで感動しました！
初動画でしか見たことないニモも生で見れて感動

Although the chance of rain was 80%, it was beautifully sunny, and we were able to experience everything without getting wet. The mangroves offered a breathtaking panorama that felt like something out of a dream. While paddleboarding, the waves were gentle, making it easy to ride. The maneuverability was great, so I highly recommend it. Meeting the Ryukyu Kingfisher was a highlight, and the guide's insights were unique to this place, making it a wonderful memory. In the Blue Cave, the sea, coral reefs, and colorful fish of all sizes were stunning. I did feel a bit unwell at one point, but the kind words from the staff helped me get through it. 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。
マングローブでは、日本と思えないパノラマが広がり感動しました。サップでは、波も少なく簡単に乗ることができました。小回りもきくので、とてもおすすめです。リュウキュウアカショウビンに出会えて、ガイドさんの案内も、ここならでは！と言うことばかりで、とても、いい思い出になりました。青の洞窟では、海と珊瑚礁、大小のカラフルな魚達、美しかったです。途中、気分が悪くなってしまいましたが、優しい声かけをしていただき、無事すごせました。また、同じツアーに参加した皆さんも、素敵な方で別れ際は大きく手を振って笑顔でわかれました。

The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but thanks to the sun being hidden behind the clouds, I was able to enjoy a relatively pleasant SUP experience. This was my second time doing SUP, but at times the wind was strong, and I felt like I would be swept out to sea if I didn't keep paddling, haha. With the precise advice from my instructor, Sugi-chan, sitting down reduced the resistance, allowing me to return to the shore. I had a wonderful time enjoying SUP for about an hour!

曇り時々晴れという天気でしたが、太陽が雲に隠れていたおかげで比較的気持ちよくSUP体験ができました。
今回は2回目のSUPでしたが、時々風が強く吹き常に漕いでいないと沖に流されてしまいそうでした笑
インストラクターのすぎちゃんの的確なアドバイスで座ると抵抗が少なくなり岸の方へ戻ることもできました。
約1時間ゆったりとSUP体験ができてとっても楽しかったです！！

It was unfortunately rainy, but I enjoyed the beautiful sea.

There were a lot of participants, and it felt a bit hectic, but I had a great time.

Thank you for everything.

あいにくの雨でしたが、綺麗な海を堪能しました。

参加人数が多く、なんとなく、セカセカしてる感じがしましたが、楽しかったです。

いろいろとありがとうございました。

Iriomote Island was amazing! I received communication from them the day before, and on the day of the tour, there was a guide, canoeing instructions, and explanations about the mangroves and other ecosystems, making for a fun and valuable experience. Canoeing while looking at the greenery and the sea was fantastic. The water buffalo cart on Yubu Island and the botanical garden were truly enjoyable. I also visited Taketomi Island, but the experiences and sightseeing on Iriomote Island were outstanding. Iriomote Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it's difficult to explore on your own, so it's efficient to go with a guide. I appreciate the transportation to the port as well.

西表島、サイコーでした！前日からご連絡も頂き、当日のガイドやカヌーのレクチャー、マングローブ等の生態の説明もあり楽しく貴重な時間でした。緑や海を見ながら カヌーは、サイコーでした。由布島の水牛車、植物園と本当に楽しかったです。竹富島も行きましたが、西表島の体験や観光が素晴らしかったです。西表島は世界自然遺産で、個人では難しくガイドさんの案内で回るのが効率的です。港までも送迎、感謝です

The weather was great, and the experience flew by in a fun way. The staff were skilled at getting everyone excited and were very kind, carefully teaching us how to use the equipment and the important points to note. During snorkeling, it was a valuable experience to swim with the fish while feeding them. In the marine sports, I was able to choose my speed and enjoy myself to the fullest. Additionally, since we put on wetsuits as soon as we got on the boat, I was grateful that I didn't have to worry about sunburn. Thank you very much! ☺︎

お天気にも恵まれ、楽しくてあっという間でした。スタッフさんは盛り上げ上手で親切で、器具の使い方や注意点を丁寧に教えてくださりました。シュノーケリングでは、餌やりをしながら魚と一緒に泳げて貴重な経験でした。マリンスポーツでは、スピードを選べて思いっきり楽しめました。また、船に乗ってすぐウエットスーツを着用するので、日焼けを気にせずに参加できたのはありがたかったです。ありがとうございました☺︎

I experienced mangroves, SUP, and a water buffalo cart on Yubu Island. The staff were polite and cheerful, providing great guidance, which was very nice. It felt like time flowed slowly, and I was very relaxed. There are also stylish restaurants on Iriomote Island, and I enjoyed a delicious lunch there.

There was about an hour of waiting time until the return ferry, so I hope there will be a smoother ferry option available in the future.

マングローブ、SUP.由布島観光、水牛車　の体験しました。スタッフさんは丁寧で元気よく案内してくれてとてもよかったです。のんびりと時間が流れるようでとても癒されました。西表島におしゃれなレストランもあり、美味しいランチもいただけました。
帰りのフェリーまで1時間くらい待ち時間があったので、もう少しスムーズに帰れるフェリーがあるといいなと思いました。

I participated in the mangrove canoeing and snorkeling activities.

Honestly, both activities were amazing! I spent the entire day with them, experiencing mangrove canoeing in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon. The guides were incredibly kind and attentive, which made it easy to relax and enjoy. Both guides had extensive knowledge and experience, allowing us to learn while having fun, making it the best day ever.

I was worried about the weather, but they made sure we could enjoy ourselves no matter what the conditions were, so I was very satisfied!

マングローブカヌーandシュノーケリングに参加させていただきました。

率直にどちらのアクティビティも最高でした♪
午前はマングローブカヌー体験、午後はシュノーケリング体験と丸一日お世話になりましたが、とにかくガイドさんが親切丁寧で安心して楽しめた上に、どちらのガイドさんも経験知識が豊富で楽しみながら学ぶ事ができ最高の1日でした。

天候の心配もありましたが、どんな天気でも楽しめるよう対応していただいたので大満足です！

In the morning, I was moved by the great nature while kayaking through the mangroves✨ We entered narrow paths that felt like a maze, which was really interesting! During the free time, including lunch break, the guide introduced us to some recommended shops! After enjoying a leisurely meal, we had plenty of time to take a short stroll around the area! In the afternoon, we rode a water buffalo cart to Yubu Island and explored the island on foot🚶. There was just the right amount of free time here too! I had a fulfilling day filled with many first-time experiences!

午前中はマングローブカヤックで、大自然に感動しました✨細い道にも入り、迷路のようで面白かったです！
お昼休憩を含めた自由時間では、ガイドさんがおすすめのお店を紹介していただきました！
ゆっくり食べた後に周辺を少し散策できるくらい、十分に時間がありました！
午後は水牛車に乗って由布島へ行き、島を散策しました🚶ここでもちょうど良い自由時間でした！
初めての体験を沢山して、充実した1日でした！

The Blue Cave was canceled due to strong winds, so instead, we participated in sea turtle snorkeling at Shigira Beach. There were many fish, and I was surprised by the variety of species. We were also able to see the sea turtles we were hoping to spot. I took a lot of beautiful photos with the GoPro, and I was very satisfied! It was a lot of fun!

青の洞窟は強風で中止になり、代わりに参加したシギラビーチでのウミガメシュノーケリング。
魚も沢山いて魚種の多さに驚きました。そしてお目当てのウミガメも無事に見る事が出来ました。GoProで写真を撮影していただいて沢山綺麗な写真もいただけて大満足です！とても楽しかったです！

I was honestly anxious about my first time in Miyako Island and snorkeling, but thanks to the kind advice from start to finish, I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea for quite a while, and I felt so happy. My mother and I were both moved and glad we went 😊. Our guide was wonderful, and even though there were foreigners with us, everything went smoothly with fluent English 👍. So much fun, it was the best! 👏👏👏👏👏

初めての宮古島&シュノーケリングで正直不安でしたが1から10まで親切なアドバイスで結構な時間美しい海を堪能できて幸せでした母娘共々行ってよかったと感動しました😊素敵なガイドさんで外国の方々も一緒でしたが流暢な英語でスムーズに👍
そーまっする、最高です👏👏👏👏👏

The staff and equipment were great, and I was happy that I could easily put on the wetsuit. The transportation and the boat, as well as the consideration for participants, scored high points.

If I had to point out a weak point, it would be that since there were mostly inbound guests, it can't be helped, but the wetsuits and life jackets were too buoyant, making it feel like I wasn't swimming, and I thought some people might get seasick. The season was May, and it happened to be a bit cool, so the sea was slightly cold, but the visibility was excellent.

スタッフさんも機材も良くて、ウエットスーツがすらっと着れてよかったです。
送迎も船も、参加者への気遣いも高得点です。
あえてのウィークポイントは、インバウンド客ばかりだからいたしかたないんでしょうが、ウェットスーツ＆救命胴衣は、浮きすぎて泳いだ気がしないし海酔いする人もいるだろうなあ、と思った。
季節が5月でたまたま涼しかったので海は少し冷た目でしたが、透明度抜群でした。

While on a business trip, I wanted to do something Okinawan, so I signed up for a half-day snorkeling course. I was a bit anxious since I was participating alone and can't swim, but they carefully taught me how to use the life jacket and necessary equipment, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind as a beginner. Just getting into the water from the boat required a bit of courage, as it was quite deep.

The visibility was so clear that I could see all the way to the ocean floor just by putting my face in the water! The breathtaking scenery was truly moving. For the first 15 minutes, my mind was racing with thoughts like, "Wow, it's deep!" "I'm scared!" "It's so beautiful!" "Wait, how do I breathe again?!" "There are so many fish!" But with the instructor nearby, I felt reassured. Once I got used to it, I was able to let go of the float.

I learned that fish are attracted to the float, so I was able to see them up close. The instructor helped me spot three sea turtles by saying, "Here they are!" 🐢 It was so much fun, and the time flew by. I never expected to have such an emotional experience at over 40 years old.

If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you very much!

出張のついでに沖縄っぽいことがしたいと思い、シュノーケル半日コースを申込みました。一人で参加だったうえに泳げないので若干の不安はあったものの、ライフジャケットや必要な機材の使い方も丁寧に教えてくださったので初心者でも安心して楽しめました。※ボートから海に入るときだけちょっと勇気がいります。まぁまぁ深かったです。

水面からちょっと顔をつけるだけで海の底までハッキリ見えるほどの透明度！びっくりするほどの絶景で本当に感動しました。
※最初の15分は「深っ！」「怖っ！」「めっちゃキレイ！」「あれ？どーやって息するんやっけ？！」「めっちゃ魚おる！」と静かな海で脳内は大忙しでしたが、近くにインストラクターさんがいるので安心です。慣れると浮輪から手を離せるようになります。

魚も浮輪をみると寄ってくるそうで、間近で見ることができました。インストラクターさんが先にウミガメを探してここー！と教えてくれるのでウミガメも3匹拝めました🐢本当に楽しくてあっという間でした。40歳をすぎてこんなに感動できる体験があるとは思ってませんでした。

また機会があればぜひ参加させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございました。

It was written to gather at Shinchiko Coast, but it seems they choose the beach depending on the situation. For us, we received a notice the night before that it was changed to Bora Beach!

On the day, we were able to see sea turtles perfectly, and we also got to see many other fish!

The instructors were very friendly and taught us a lot of interesting facts about the fish, which made it really enjoyable!

I will never forget the aggressive humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa!

新城海岸集合と書いてありましたが、状況によってビーチを選んでくださるようで、私たちの時は前日の夜にボラビーチへ変更のご連絡をいただきました！

当日はバッチリウミガメにも会えましたし、他のお魚もたくさん見ることができました！

インストラクターの皆さんもとても気さくで、お魚の雑学もたくさん教えていただき、とても楽しかったです！

煽ってくるムラサメモンガラは一生忘れません！

Not only did I get to enjoy the sea turtles, but I was also healed by many fish like the clownfish! The ocean in Miyako Island is the best! It was my first time snorkeling alone, but the instructor taught me carefully, so I was able to swim happily right away! I will come again! Thank you, So-chan and Yama-chan, you are the best!!

ウミガメだけでなく、カクレクマノミなど沢山の魚達に癒されました！宮古島の海最高です！1人が初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれるのですぐに楽しく泳ぐことができました！また来ます！そうちゃんやまちゃんありがとう最高！！

It was my first time snorkeling, but the staff were kind and made me feel safe. There were many beautiful fish. I didn't get to see any sea turtles that day, but if I have the chance, I would like to participate again.

初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切で安心してできました。
魚もたくさんいて、とてもキレイでした。
この日は、ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、機会があれば、また参加したいです。

I made a reservation for two dives, but I felt that the communication regarding which of the three locations we would be diving at and how long we would stay at each spot was a bit lacking. However, most of the participants were foreigners, which added to the feeling of being out of place. The refreshing and handsome instructor took photos with the sea turtles, and I was truly very satisfied with the experience. I would love to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

2ダイブで予約をしましたが、
3地点の内のどこでダイビングをするかとか、
ここで何分くらい滞在するのかとか、
情報伝達が少し雑な気もしましたが、
参加者の殆どが外国の方でアウェイ感もある中、
爽やかイケメンインストラクターさんが、
海亀との写真を撮ってくれて、
本当に大満足でした。
また機会があったら利用したいです。

I experienced a mangrove canoe 🛶 and water buffalo tour at Yufu Island 🐮. First of all, I'm really glad I chose this tour! The distance from the mangrove spot to Yufu Island was surprisingly far, and traveling by car was essential. I believe that participating in the tour allowed me to smoothly experience both activities in one day! Moreover, our instructor, Shabi, provided various interesting facts about Iriomote Island while guiding us, which made the experience even more enjoyable than the activities themselves!

I also joined the tour as a day trip from Ishigaki Island. After the tour ended, there was a bit of time before the return ferry, but I highly recommend Maruma Beach 🏖, which is about a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal! It was the most beautiful sea I've ever seen, and since I happened to have clothes that I didn't mind getting wet, I changed and played in the sea. The time until the ferry arrived flew by!

マングローブカヌー🛶＆由布島水牛観光🐮のツアーを体験しました。
まず、本当にツアーにしてよかったです！マングローブスポットから由布島までは意外と距離があり、車での移動必須でした。ツアーに参加したからこそ、1日でスムーズに両方体験できたと思います！そして何よりインストラクターのシャビさんが、色々な西表島豆知識を挟みながら案内してくださったので、アクティビティそのもの以上に楽しむことができました！
また石垣島から日帰りで参加したのですが、ツアー終了後～帰りのフェリーまで少し時間があきますが、フェリー乗り場から歩いて10分ほどのところにあるまるまビーチ🏖が本当におすすめです！！！今まで見た海の中でいちばんきれいで、ちょうど濡れてもいい服装を持っていたので、着替えて海で遊んでいると、フェリーまでの時間はあっという間でした。

I was very satisfied to see the colorful fish and beautiful corals of the tropical region! The guide's attention to safety was thorough, allowing me to enjoy the tour with peace of mind!

南国のカラフルな魚たちと綺麗なサンゴが見れて大満足でした！ガイドの人の安全配慮も行き届いていて、安心してツアーを過ごせました！

I enjoyed a day of experience diving with my two 13-year-old grandchildren. It was a sunny day just after the start of the rainy season, and we were lucky to dive with calm sea conditions. The instructor was very skilled, and my grandchildren had a great time on their first dive.

13才の孫2人と体験ダイビング1日を堪能しました。梅雨入り直後の晴れた1日で運良く潜れ、海況も穏やかな一日でした。
イントラさんもとても上手で、孫2人も初ダイブを楽しみました。

Initially, we planned to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Kawahira Bay, but due to high waves, we ended up at Miyara River instead. It was a lot of fun! We got caught in the rain, but since you get wet while paddleboarding anyway, I highly recommend experiencing it on a rainy day! Our guide, Mr. Tsuchiya, was handsome and comes highly recommended! 👍

当初は川平湾でsup予定でしたが高波の影響で宮良川でのsupとなりましたが楽しかったです。雨に振られましたが、supで濡れるので雨の日こそ体験しちゃった方がいいくらいのオススメ度です！土屋さんというガイドさん、イケメンでオススメです👍

Due to the wind from the previous day, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but instead, I was satisfied to interact with the colorful and cute fish. The guide was friendly and kind, and they took a lot of photos and videos for us. I also made friends with the other participants, and in the end, we were able to take a commemorative photo with the guide, creating a truly precious memory. I'm grateful for that. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to challenge the Blue Cave.

前日の風の影響で青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、そのかわりカラフルでかわいいお魚さんたちと一杯触れあうことができ満足でした。
ガイドさんも気さくで親切でいっぱい写真や動画を撮ってもらいました。参加した方とも仲良くなり、最後は、ガイドさんと皆で記念撮影もでき、大変貴重な思い出として残すことができました。感謝です。
また機会があれば、青の洞窟に挑戦したいと思います。

The morning mangrove canoeing was exhilarating, as it felt like an adventure through a dense jungle, surrounded by lush greenery. I felt incredibly refreshed as I experienced the sparkling surface of the water up close. After that, I took a shower at the office and had some free time to eat lunch at Uehara Port.

Later, the ride on the water buffalo cart to Yubu Island was surprisingly leisurely. Listening to the sound of the sanshin while gently gliding over the sea was a truly luxurious and happy experience. This tour allowed me to enjoy both active adventure and the soothing charm unique to Okinawa, creating memories that will last a lifetime!

午前のマングローブカヌーで、生い茂る緑の中を抜けていくのは、まるで密林を冒険しているようなワクワク感があり、キラキラした水面を間近に感じて最高にリフレッシュできました。その後、事務所でシャワーを浴び、お昼は上原港で自由に食べる時間がありました。
​その後、水牛車での由布島への移動は、驚くほどゆったりとした時間が流れていました。三線の音色を聴きながら、海の上をのんびり進む感覚は、なんとも贅沢で幸せな気持ちになります。アクティブな冒険と、沖縄らしい情緒たっぷりの癒やしを両方味わえて、一生の思い出に残るツアーでした！
