All Reviews for Snorkeling

We participated in a two-person canoe. The wind was calm, but it was cloudy, so we couldn't see much of the ocean... However, on our way back, the sun came out, and we could see clearly into the water. This is the true charm of Ishigaki Island.

カヌー2人乗りで参加。
風が穏やかでしたが曇っていて海の中があまり見えなかった…。
だけど帰り際、光がさして、海の中まできれいに見えました。これぞ石垣島の醍醐味。

I had never swum in the ocean before, so I was anxious until just before, but my guide, Yamachan, pulled me along with a float and checked on me several times during the experience, which allowed me to enjoy the ocean with peace of mind. It was my first ocean activity, and I made the right choice by asking for their help! Of course, I also got to see a sea turtle. I was thrilled to see the sea turtle, but I was also grateful for the care taken to help me enjoy the ocean. I definitely want to request their services again next time. Thank you very much for this experience.

海で泳いだことがなかったので直前まで不安でしたが、ガイドの山ちゃんさんが浮き輪で引っ張ってくれたり、途中途中で何度も大丈夫か確認してくれながら体験できたので、安心して海を楽しむことができました。
初めての海アクティビティでしたがこちらにお願いして大正解でした！
もちろんウミガメにも会えました。
ウミガメに会えたことももちろん嬉しかったですがお気遣いいただき海を楽しむことができ嬉しかったです。
まあ次回もお願いしたいと思いました。
この度はありがとうございました。

I made a last-minute reservation the day before, but I received a call from the guide right after my application, explaining how to use the parking lot at Cape Manzamo, which made me feel at ease about participating. I was able to rent everything, including wetsuits and fins.

When I mentioned that I was bringing my 5 and 9-year-old children for their first snorkeling experience, the guide assigned one person to our family of four. The kids were super excited to see the fish and are already asking to go snorkeling again and to feed the fish!

We also had many beautiful photos taken, making it the best summer memory! Thank you very much to our guide, R.

前日に急遽申し込みをしましたが、申し込み後すぐにガイドさんから電話をいただき、真栄田岬の駐車場利用方法等説明があり、安心して参加できました。ウエットスーツやフィン等全てレンタルできました。
また、5歳9歳の子連れで初めてのシュノーケリングという事をお伝えしたところ、4人家族に対してガイドさんが1人ついてくださいました。
子ども達は大興奮で魚を見ることができ、またシュノーケルがしたい！魚に餌やりしたい！と言っています。
綺麗な写真もたくさん撮っていただき、最高の夏の思い出になりました！
ガイドのRさん、大変お世話になりありがとうございました。

We decided to use this service for our honeymoon, as it was both of our first experiences with snorkeling. I was nervous about swimming in the ocean and had many worries, but the guides were very kind and taught us thoroughly, which made me feel at ease to participate! I thought it would be lucky if we encountered a sea turtle, but we actually did, and I was so moved to see it up close! They also took many wonderful photos for us, creating great memories! Since we don't usually go to the ocean, I was hesitant about snorkeling, but I'm really glad I participated!

新婚旅行で、夫婦共々初めてのシュノーケリングをしたいと思い、利用させていただきました。
海で泳ぐのもドキドキで、心配事ばかりでしたが、ガイドの方々がとても丁寧に教えてくだり、安心して参加できました！！
ウミガメに遭遇できたらラッキーくらいかなと思っていたのですが、本当に遭遇でき、あんなに近くで見ることができて、感動しました！！そして素敵な写真を何枚も撮っていただき、とても良い思い出になりました！
普段海には行かないので、シュノーケリングをするかも迷っていたのですが、参加して本当によかったです！

Just as the tour was about to start, my 6-year-old daughter became upset and said she didn't want to see the sea turtles. However, the staff members were all very kind and spoke to her gently! They encouraged her to go see the sea turtles, but at that moment, she was still in a bad mood. Later, after some time had passed, she decided to join us and was very happy to take pictures! Even though there was a schedule for the tour, they made sure to consider the other guests while treating our family with the same care, which made us feel very comfortable participating. The photos we received were beautiful, and the shots with the sea turtles were amazing! Thank you very much.

これからツアー開始というところで、6歳の娘の機嫌が悪くなりウミガメ見に行かない〜と言い出してしまいましたが、そんな娘を見てもスタッフのお兄さん達は皆んな優しく娘に話しかけてきてくれました！どうにかこうにかウミガメを見に行こうと促してくれましたがその時は娘の機嫌なおらずだったけど、時間をおいて後からついて行ったにも関わらず、とても喜んで写真を撮ってくれました！ツアーの段取りもあったはずなのに、他のツアー客への配慮も忘れずに私達家族にも変わりなく接してくださりとても安心して参加できました。出来上がりの写真もとっても綺麗でウミガメとのショットも最高でした！！ありがとうございました。

On a certain day in August 2023,
This was my second time snorkeling, and I had various concerns, but personally, I was able to finish without any particular problems. I was able to see two sea turtles clearly and got some great photos taken. I think if you listen carefully to what the guide says and put it into practice, you can really enjoy it, but it seems not everyone is able to do so. The guide teaches tips quite thoroughly, but whether you can put them into practice seems to depend on yourself. However, the guide also puts in a lot of effort.

There were a total of seven customers.

Flow: Pickup → Toilet at the site → Snorkeling gear rental → Explanation → Photo session → Guide helps put on fins → Check if it's okay to enter the sea → Start → Look for sea turtles → Photo session → Look for sea turtles → Photo session → ... → Return to the beach → Guide helps remove fins → Return snorkeling gear → Tea? → Shower & change in the changing room → Go home

Problems that occurred:
- There was someone who couldn't help but breathe through their nose, causing their goggles to rise.
- There was someone who couldn't follow the instructions and was guided by the guide for a while because they couldn't breathe correctly.
- Someone seemed to have been kicked while swimming behind another person.
- There was someone who had trouble getting into the camera angle of the guide's camera.
- There was someone who found the vest a bit too big and difficult to swim in. However, I think this is somewhat unavoidable since there are people of various body types.

The guide had a unique atmosphere and kept talking, so I was able to enjoy it even as a solo participant. By the way, there was no coffee time after the activity; instead, they served what seemed like the tea we used to drink in club activities at the end.

2023年8月某日。
シュノーケルは人生で2回目で色々不安でしたが、個人的には特に何の問題なく終わることができました。
ウミガメもしっかり２匹？見れましたし、バッチリ写真も撮ってもらうことができました。
ガイドさんの言うことをしっかり聞いて実践すれば満喫できると思いますが、必ずしもみんなができるわけではないようでした。
ガイドさんはかなり丁寧にコツなども教えてくれますが、実践できるかどうかは自分次第なところありそうです。
ただガイドさんもかなり頑張ってくれます。

全部で客は７人でした。

流れ：ピックアップ→現地でトイレ→シュノーケル貸与→説明→写真撮影→ガイドさんにフィンをつけてもらう→海に入って問題ないかチェック→開始→ウミガメ探す→写真撮影→ウミガメ探す→写真撮影→…→浜辺に帰る→ガイドさんにフィン外してもらう→シュノーケル返却→お茶？→シャワー&脱衣所で着替える→帰る

発生した問題：
・鼻で息をしてしまいどうしてもゴーグルが上がってしまう人がいた。
・説明通りにできず、正しく呼吸できずにガイドさんから少しの間指導されていた人がいた。
・人の後ろを泳ぎ、蹴られたっぽい人がいた。
・ガイドさんのカメラの射角になかなか入れない人がいた。
・チョッキが少し大きくて泳ぎづらかった？人がいた。しかし、これはある程度、いろんな体型の方がいるので仕方ない部分もあると思う。



ガイドさんは独特な空気感でずっと喋ってくれてるので1人参加でも楽しめました。
ちなみに、終わった後のコーヒータイム？的なものはなく、部活で飲んでたお茶？っぽいのが最後にふるまわれました。

This was my second time participating since last year. The ocean was as beautifully clear as ever, and I was thrilled to encounter the sea turtles that I had wanted to see the most! Since we couldn't see them last year, my whole family was overjoyed. The instructors were all very kind, and the kids had a great time. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Okinawa.

去年から引き続き2回目の参加でした。
相変わらず海は透き通るように綺麗で、
1番見てみたかったウミガメに出会えて最高でした！去年はウミガメが見れなかったので、家族全員感激しました。インストラクターさんもみんな親切で、子供達も存分に楽しめました。また沖縄に来たら是非参加したいです。

My husband is 62 years old, and I am 59. We had our first experience with snorkeling! The male instructor was very kind and attentive. Whenever I felt anxious, he would immediately check on me, allowing me to relax and fully enjoy the experience. It was the best!

夫62歳、私59歳、シュノーケリングを初体験！インストラクターの男性がとても親切で丁寧でした。不安な気持ちいるとすぐに声をかけてくれ安心して全てを委ねることができ緊張がほぐれて満喫できました！最高！

The weather was wonderful, and the staff were very cheerful and friendly, making for a really enjoyable time. The snorkeling spot they took us to was beautiful, and I was moved by the fish swimming right in front of me multiple times. I would love to use their services again when I visit Okinawa. Thank you!

天気にも恵まれ、スタッフの皆さんもとても明るく陽気で凄く楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
連れて行ってくださったシュノーケルポイントは、とても綺麗で目の前を魚が何度も通り感動しました。また沖縄に行く際は利用させていただきたいです。ありがとうございました！

I was truly happy to have such a wonderful experience with my son! I was amazed to see the coral reef so clearly.

息子と一緒にこんな素敵な体験ができて、本当に幸せなひとときでした！珊瑚礁までくっきり見えて感動しました。

I was able to see fish up close while snorkeling, and I enjoyed visiting different spots. The advice on equalizing pressure and the care provided made it a fun experience.

シュノーケルでは近くで魚も見れてスポットも変えて巡れたし、耳抜きなどのアドバイスと気遣いがあり楽しかったです。

Snorkeling in the crystal-clear blue sea was amazing. We encountered many fish and sea turtles, and everyone had a great time. The guide was also very kind and taught us carefully, which made swimming both safe and enjoyable.

透き通るような青い海でのシュノーケリングは最高でした。たくさんの魚とウミガメにも出会えて、皆んなで盛り上がりました。
ガイドさんも丁寧に優しく教えてくれて安心＆楽しく泳げました。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish in the clear sea. The staff were very accommodating, and the children (ages 4 and 3) had a wonderful time!

天気にも恵まれ、透明度の高い海の中、とてもきれいなサンゴ礁や熱帯魚を見ることができました。スタッフの皆様の対応もとてもよく、子供たち（4歳・３歳）も楽しく過ごすことができました！

This was the most fun snorkeling experience I've ever had!! I got to swim with sea turtles, and Kometchi took a lot of photos, which added to my memories! When I come back to Miyako, I definitely want to go snorkeling here again!!

今までのシュノーケリング体験の中で1番楽しかったです！！
ウミガメと泳げたり、こめっちさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれて思い出になる写真が増えました！また宮古に来た際はこちらでシュノーケリングしたいと思います〜！！

The instructor who guided the snorkeling tour at Tokashiku Beach was kind and very good!

とかしくビーチでシュノーケルツアーをしてくださったインストラクターさんが優しくてとても良かったです！！

Thank you for letting us know that the parking lot gets crowded the day before the experience, so we arrived an hour early! The staff were very kind, taking lots of photos with the sea turtles and sharing many recommended spots in Miyako Island, making our trip a lot of fun.

体験前日に駐車場が混むので1時間前には来てください！とご連絡をくださり助かりました！
ウミガメとの写真もたくさん撮ってくれたり、宮古島のおすすめスポットもたくさん教えてくださってとても親切なお兄さんたちで楽しい旅行になりました

It was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to the thorough explanation, I was able to enjoy it without any issues! I also got to see three sea turtles! The photos were taken beautifully, so I am very satisfied. The after-service was exceptional, and they also recommended great spots in Miyako Island, making it a wonderful experience! Thank you very much!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧な説明のおかげで無事楽しめることができました！そして無事ウミガメを3匹も見ることができました！写真もとても綺麗に撮ってくださったのでとても満足です。アフターサービスも至れり尽くせりで宮古島のオススメスポットとも教えてくれたので素晴らしい体験になりました！ありがとうございました！

It was my first time snorkeling, and I had an amazing time! Swimming in the vast, beautiful ocean alongside many creatures, including coral, sea anemones, surgeonfish, and clownfish, was a truly happy experience. I was especially thrilled when I encountered a green sea turtle; I got to see it breathe right in front of me and even took a photo together! I was very happy. I enjoyed learning the names of the fish I saw, and the detailed instructions and tips provided at the beginning made me feel safe while swimming. I definitely want to enjoy the waters of Yakushima again!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、存分に楽しむことができました！広い綺麗な海で、サンゴやイソギンチャク、テングハギ、クマノミのほかたくさんの生物と一緒に泳げて幸せな時間でした。特にアオウミガメと遭遇した時は、目の前でカメが呼吸する様子を見れたり、2ショットを撮っていただけました！とても嬉しかったです。見えた魚のお名前を教えてもらいながら楽しめましたし、最初に注意事項やコツを丁寧に教えてくださって安心して泳げました。また、屋久島の海を堪能したいと思いました！

I was very lucky to see two sea turtles at the same time! The ocean was beautiful, and I was very satisfied to see various fish! The guide was also kind and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

とってもラッキーで2匹のウミガメを同時に見ることができました！海も綺麗でしたし、色々なお魚見れて大変満足です！ガイドさんも親切でフレンドリーでより一層海を満喫できました！心の底からお勧めできるツアーです！

I had done a little snorkeling before, but I wasn't very good at it. However, they taught me in detail how to breathe and hold my mouth, and I realized that my self-taught methods weren't very effective.

I was able to swim closely with the sea turtles without going too far from the shore.

They took a lot of photos, so I have great memories of swimming up close.

It was a fun time.

シュノーケリングはすこしやったことがあってもあまり得意ではありませんでしたが、とても詳しく息の吐き方やくわえ方を教えていただき、自己流でやっていたのであまり上手くいかなかったことがわかりました。

岸からそれほど沖に行かなくてもウミガメとバッチリ泳げました。

たくさん写真を撮っていただけたので、すごく近くで泳ぐよい思い出もしっかり写っていました。

楽しい時間でした。

I participated with my elementary school daughter. We received a kind message suggesting that we arrive early due to the crowded parking lot, which allowed us to get there smoothly.

The tour content was truly excellent. They were very kind and attentive to the little ones, and we were able to follow along comfortably while seeing many fish on the way to the spot with the sea turtles.

We were able to see the sea turtles perfectly, and they took many photos for us, creating wonderful memories. Personally, I think it was a great deal to have all the goods, photos, and peace of mind included for this price.

小学生の娘と2人で参加しました。
集合場所の駐車場が混み合うから早めに来た方が良いですなどの親切な連絡があり早く行ってスムーズに行けました。

ツアーの内容は本当にとても良かったです。
小さい子にもとても優しく丁寧に接してくれて、ウミガメのいるスポットまでも沢山の魚を見ながら安心して着いていけました。

ウミガメもばっちり会えましたし、写真も沢山撮ってくださってとても良い思い出になりました。
個人的にこのお値段でグッズ、写真、安心全て含まれてとてもお得だと思いました。

I went on a tour with my brother and two others.

We swam to a point where we could see sea turtles, and they guided us while being mindful of seasickness and our stamina.

They took many photos with the sea turtles and kindly shared interesting facts about Miyako Island, as well as recommended shops!

Since we were around the same age, I was able to enjoy the tour a lot! If there's another opportunity, I would love to join again!☆

お兄さんと3人でツアーを行いました。

ウミガメが見えるポイントまで泳ぎましたが、
波酔いや体力を気にかけながら案内をしてくれました。

ウミガメとの写真を沢山撮ってくださったり
宮古島の豆知識や、オススメのお店なども教えていただき、親切にしていただきました！！

歳も近かったので、楽しくツアーに参加することができました！
また機会があればよろしくお願いします☆

Prior to our visit, we received information about the parking situation, which helped us gather smoothly. A very kind staff member taught my child with great patience, which was a huge help! At first, both my child and I were nervous, but we were pulled along with a float, and we got to see many cute tropical fish and several sea turtles. I'm really glad we booked here! We also received a lot of photos in digital format! Thank you very much!

事前に、駐車場の混み具合の連絡をいただき、順調に集合。
とても優しいお兄さんが子供にも優しく教えてくれて、大変助かりました！
最初はドキドキで私も子供も不安でしたが、浮き輪で引っ張ってくれて、可愛い熱帯魚たちと、海亀に何匹も会えました^ ^
本当にこちらで申し込んでよかったです！
写真もデータでたくさんいただきました！！
ありがとうございました！

I participated with my 9-year-old and 5-year-old children. It was their first time doing serious snorkeling on a boat, and they were a bit nervous at first. However, by the middle of the first spot, they really got into it and enjoyed themselves until the end.

Of course, the program was amazing, as we got to see a large manta ray (which was much more impressive than I expected) and swim with fish in the beautiful coral sea of Kabira Bay. Additionally, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, as one of them was a mother of a child around the same age as mine, which made the overall experience feel very homey and welcoming. I highly recommend it.

9歳、5歳の子供と参加しました。
子供は船に乗って出かけるような本格的なシュノーケリングははじめてで、初めは緊張気味でしたが、1スポット目の途中あたりからスイッチが入り、最後まで楽しんでいました。
大きなマンタを見れたり（思っていたよりはるかに迫力あり）、川平湾の珊瑚の美しい海で魚と泳げた、というプログラムの素晴らしさももちろんですが、スタッフの方は同い年くらいのお子さんのお母さんで小さい子供の応対にも慣れ、全体的にとてもアットホームで親切な対応で感謝しています。おすすめします。

After arriving at Tokashiki Island, you will be transported by the hotel shuttle. Unlike Awa Island Beach, there are no buses running, so it is relatively quiet. There are no convenience stores, only the hotel shop (there are some days with food trucks). It seems that taxis are currently not in service. It's a lovely beach with a private beach vibe where you might encounter sea turtles.

渡嘉敷島に着いてからホテルの送迎車での移動となります。
阿波連ビーチと違ってバスも運行されていないので比較的空いてます。
コンビニ等はなくホテルの売店のみになります。(キッチンカーもある日あり)
タクシーは現在営業してないそうです。プライベートビーチ風でウミガメにも出会えるかもの素敵なビーチです。

The hotel provides shuttle service, which is convenient.
It's a relatively large boat, so there is little rocking, but it's better to take motion sickness medication.
I was able to see beautiful coral reefs, and I was glad that I could spot a sea turtle on the optional sea turtle exploration tour.
Since it's a half-day course, I think it's an activity that's easy for those who aren't very confident in their physical strength to participate in. Thank you very much! 😊

ホテルからの送迎ありなので便利。
比較的大きな船で揺れは少ないですが、酔い止めは服用したほうが良いです。
綺麗なサンゴ礁が観れてオプションのウミガメ探索ツアーもなんとかウミガメさんを見ることが出来でよかったです。
半日コースなので体力に自信のない方にも参加しやすいアクティビティだと思います。有難うございました(^^)/。

I participated on August 14 (Monday). The blue sky, the blue of the sea, the coral reefs, the many fish, the view of the islands from the boat, and the staff were all amazing. I created wonderful memories. The friendly atmosphere with the other participants was also very nice. My spouse and I participated, and we still look at the photos together and relish the memories. If we have the chance to go to Okinawa again, I definitely want to participate. I'm looking forward to it even more. Thank you very much to all the staff.

8月14日(月)に参加させてもらいました。青空、海の青さ、サンゴ群生、多くの魚、船から見る島の景色、そしてスタッフの皆さん、すべて最高でした。素晴らしい思い出が出来ました。一緒に参加した方たちとの和気あいあいとした雰囲気もとても良かったです。夫婦で参加させてもらい、今でも二人で写真を見て余韻にひたってます。また沖縄に行くことがあれば是非参加したいと思っています。また楽しみが増えました。スタッフの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the beach I intended to visit because I arrived right after the typhoon, but I believe this would normally be an amazing tour. The staff were all very kind, which was great.

I definitely want to try again.

Thank you very much.

台風直撃後に訪れたので、残念なことに目的のビーチには行けませんでしたが、これが通常であれば、ものすごく素敵なツアーであることは間違いないと思います。
スタッフの方も皆親切で、よかったです。

また、ぜひリベンジしたいと思います。

ありがとうございました。

I was initially skeptical about whether we would really see sea turtles, but we were able to see them up close! My 8-year-old son was scared to swim in the ocean, and I was worried about whether we could set off, but the staff matched our pace and were very kind! In the end, he was taken out on a float, and while holding onto the float, he was able to put his face in the water and see the sea turtles up close, which made him very satisfied!

Perhaps because we were on the float, we couldn't take great photos, but they took many pictures until we got some beautiful ones, and after the tour, they sent us a large number of photos! As parents, we were also able to see many beautiful fish like sea turtles, coral reefs, and clownfish up close, and we are extremely satisfied! We created the best memories! Thank you so much!

本当にウミガメが見れるのか、疑心暗鬼でしたが間近で見ることができました！
8歳の息子が海を泳ぐのを怖がり、出発できるのか不安な中、スタッフの方がペースを合わせて、とても親切な対応をしていただきました！結局、浮輪に乗って連れて行ってもらいましたが
最後は浮輪に捕まりながら、顔だけ海につけて、間近でウミガメを見ることができ、大満足していました！
浮輪に乗っているためか、上手く写真が撮れなかったようですが、綺麗な写真が撮れるまで何度も撮影いただき、またツアー終了後には大量を写真を送っていただきました！
親もウミガメや珊瑚礁、クマノミなどの綺麗な魚を沢山間近で見ることができ、大大大満足です！最高の思い出ができました！本当にありがとうございました！

I had a valuable experience on my first diving trip. I was also able to take wonderful photos, and I am very satisfied.

初めてのダイビングで貴重な体験ができました。
素敵な写真も撮っていただけて、大変満足しております。
