All Reviews for Snorkeling

I absolutely loved our half day of snorkeling with Marine Club Berry! The staff was extremely helpful, polite, and friendly! Their facilities were extremely clean and well organized. The staff also allowed individuals to wander and explore while keeping a very close eye on us.

The site chosen for us to snorkel was beautiful with crystal clear and bright blue waters. We swam through schools of brightly colored fish, saw a black tip reef shark, and a million other beautiful creatures.

The price was reasonable and worth every single penny!

I really struggled with this time of year in Okinawa, but since it was a small group activity, I was able to participate with peace of mind. The guide divided us into groups of a few people, so it was a bit disappointing that skilled swimmers were mixed with those who weren't, which is why I gave it four stars.

It was great that they took photos during the experience, and we could download them for free. They also dropped us off at our desired location on the way back, which was nice. I'm glad there was a pickup service.

この時期の沖縄ということで、本当に悩みましたが、少人数アクティビティだったので、安心して参加できました。ガイドさんが数名ずつのグループに分けるので、泳ぎがうまい人とそうではない人が混ざるのが少し残念でしたので、星４つです。
体験中の写真を撮ってくださり、無料でダウンロードできるのもよかったですね。
帰りも希望通りの場所で降ろしていただきました。送迎ありでよかったです。

I have lived in Ishigaki Island for nearly six months, and I think I've done quite a bit of snorkeling in beautiful seas, but this was the most stunning snorkeling experience I've had! The corals were colorful, and I was truly moved!!!

石垣島に半年近く住んでいて、綺麗な海でのシュノーケルはけっこうしてきたと思いますが、今までの中で1番綺麗な海でのシュノーケルでした！サンゴがカラフルで本当に感動しました！！！

The day after the typhoon, they quickly found sea turtles for us and took many photos of them. The pictures of the sea turtles looking at the camera are very cute. We were also able to find clownfish, and I requested to take a photo with them, which they kindly did. The explanations were clear, and they respected what we wanted to do. It was a very enjoyable time and became a memorable part of our trip. Thank you very much.

台風の次の日でしたが、ウミガメもすぐに見つけてくださり、ウミガメフォトを何枚も撮っていただきました。
ウミガメがカメラ目線の写真がとても可愛いです。
カクレクマノミも見つけられて、カクレクマノミと一緒に写真を撮りたいとお願いをし、撮っていただきました。説明もわかりやすく、やりたいことを尊重していただきました。
とても楽しい時間になり、旅の思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

Both canoeing and snorkeling were my first experiences, and they exceeded my expectations in quality, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time. Especially during snorkeling, I was moved to encounter various sea creatures in the crystal-clear ocean. The guide was also very kind and shared interesting stories about Ishigaki Island during our travels, making the experience even more enjoyable. Additionally, it was great to have many wonderful photos taken. I created many good memories. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity.

カヌーもシュノーケリングも初めての体験でしたが、想像以上のクォリティで、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。特にシュノーケリングでは、透き通った海で、色々な海の生き物に出会えて感動しました。ガイドの方もとても親切で、移動中も石垣島の面白い話をしてくださったので楽しく過ごせました。また、素敵な写真を沢山撮って頂けたのも良かったです。良い思い出が沢山できました。ありがとうございました。また機会があれば参加したいです。

Due to the tides, the experience date was originally scheduled for a course from morning to afternoon, but I received a call the day before saying it would be condensed into the morning. However, I was relieved to hear that the SUP and snorkeling experience times would remain unchanged, so I participated with peace of mind.

We gathered at 8:30 AM, starting with SUP. It was my first time, but I was able to stand up, and when I got the hang of it, the guide suggested we try tandem riding, which my husband and I enjoyed together!

The location for the SUP experience may vary depending on the day, but it was in a gentle, curved area that wasn't too deep, so I thought it would be enjoyable even for families with children.

For snorkeling, we moved by car from the SUP location. The guide led the way, and we followed (there were three groups participating, including us). The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was so excited! The guide mentioned that the visibility was better than usual due to the typhoon, and it truly was stunning.

We were able to see sea turtles and even got some photos taken, including one of a baby turtle! If you swim closer to the coral, you can also see tropical fish. I was a bit worried about whether we would see turtles and fish while beach snorkeling, but it was so much fun!

The guide was kind, friendly, and attentive, which was great. Also, I was most pleased that the photos were sent to us via LINE! My husband and I are already discussing wanting to visit the limestone caves next time.

体験日は潮の関係で、本来なら午前から午後にかけてのコースだったんですが、午前中にぎゅっとまとめてになりますと前日お電話がありましたが、
sup、シュノーケリングの体験時間は変わらないとの事で安心し参加しました。
朝8:30に集合し、最初はsupから。
初めてのsupでしたが立てましたし、慣れた頃に2人乗りもできるとガイドさんから声かけて頂き、
主人と2人乗りでも楽しめました！
恐らくその日によって、supの体験場所も違うかもしれませんが、弯のような所で、穏やかかつ、そこまで深さありませんでしたし、お子様いらっしゃっても楽しめるのでは？と思いました。
シュノーケリングはsupの場所から車で移動です。ガイドさんが先頭に走りその後を着いていきます(私たちが参加した時は、自分たち含め3組の参加でした)
すっっごく綺麗な海で、めっっちゃテンション上がりました！！笑
台風の後なので、いつもより透明度が高いとガイドさんが仰ってましたが、本当に綺麗でした。
ウミガメさんも見れましたし、写真も取って頂きました。なんと子どもの亀さんも！！
珊瑚の方まで泳げば熱帯魚も見れましたし、ビーチシュノーケリングでカメもお魚も見れるのかな。と少し不安でしたがとっても楽しめました！
ガイドさんも親切で、フランクですが、丁寧なので良かったです。
あと写真がLINEで送って貰えるのが1番嬉しいところでした！
また次は鍾乳洞にも行きたいねと主人と相談しております。

Had an awesome experience, was a great first time will do again

It was my first snorkeling experience, and I received a lecture. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet a sea turtle, but I was able to see beautiful waters and fish, and it was a lot of fun! After snorkeling, I was also able to use a warm shower, which was very helpful! Thank you!

初めてのシュノーケリング体験でしたが、レクチャーいだだきました。
残念ながらウミガメには会うことはできませんでしたが、綺麗な海と魚を見ることができて、とても楽しかったです！
シュノーケリング後は温水シャワーもお借りさせていただき助かりました！
ありがとうございました！

I visited on August 5th, and I apologize for the late review! Due to the typhoon, I couldn't go to Kabira Bay, but thanks to the tour company's flexible response, I was able to switch to mangrove SUP and snorkeling in the Blue Cave. I was very grateful for all the photos they took! While other tour companies required meeting on-site, PiPi provided transportation, which was very helpful.

The staff, including Makoto, were very friendly and easy to talk to. Given the current circumstances, I was unsure if it was okay to enjoy myself, but they talked with me a lot, which eased my worries and allowed me to have fun. I would like to try for a revenge visit to Kabira Bay the next time I go to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much!

8/5に行きましたが口コミが遅くなりすみません！
台風の影響で川平湾は行けませんでしたが、
ツアー会社さんの臨機応変な対応のおかげでマングローブSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに変えていただきました。
写真もたくさん撮って頂けて大変有り難かったです！
他のツアー会社さんは現地集合でしたがピピさんは送迎してくださるのもとても助かりました。

まことさんをはじめスタッフの方々もとても気さくで話しやすかったです。
ご時世的に楽しんでいいものか迷っていましたが沢山お話ししてくれて不安な気持ちも紛れ楽しむことが出来ました。
また石垣島に行く際には今度こそ川平湾リベンジしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました！

In the morning, I enjoyed the beautiful sea while paddleboarding. At first, I thought it was a bit scary until I got used to it, but since we started paddling from the shallow area, it was okay even if I fell (laughs). My husband, who joined me, fell in the shallow water (laughs). It looked like he was having fun too! The weather wasn't exactly sunny, but it was originally forecasted to rain, and it turned into cloudy with some sunshine, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea without getting rained on. After we finished, we were told that the view from a nearby observation deck was beautiful.

For lunch, we had a free-style meal where everyone could choose what they wanted. We were informed that there was a famous Marukichi soba near where we did the SUP, so we went there. The soki soba was very delicious.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling with sea turtles at Shinjo Beach. The sea visible from the road to the beach was incredibly beautiful. Stunning views were everywhere we went.

We put on life jackets and fins and headed into the sea. The water temperature wasn't too cold, and the weather was just right as it cleared up, so it was perfect.

We were able to see sea turtles up close. It's a rare opportunity to see them like that, so it was a precious time. We also encountered many corals and tropical fish. Although I couldn't capture it in a photo, I was able to see two sea turtles at the same time. I brought my own GoPro, and since I put it in a waterproof case, it was safe and worked perfectly. The guy who was with us took photos, so you can enjoy it even without a waterproof camera!

The sea around Miyako Island was more beautiful blue than I had imagined. It truly was Miyako Blue. Thank you for the momentary healing experience.

朝は、SUPで綺麗な海の上を楽しみました。
慣れるまでは、怖いなーと思ってましたが、最初は浅瀬から漕ぎ始めるので、落ちても大丈夫(笑)
一緒に参加した主人は浅瀬で落ちてました。(笑)
それも何だか楽しそうでした！！
天気は、晴天とまではいかなかったですが、元々は雨予報の日だったのが曇り晴れになってくれたので雨に降られることなく綺麗な海を楽しめました。
ちょうど、終わった後に近くの展望台からの景色が綺麗だそうで教えてくれました。
お昼ご飯は、各自で自由に取るスタイルでした。
SUPしたところの近くに有名な丸吉そばがあると教えていただき、そちらへ行きました。
ソーキそばがとても美味しかったです。

午後からは、ウミガメシュノーケリング、私たちは新城海岸でした。
海岸へ行くための道から見える海がとても綺麗でした。
どこに行っても絶景が広がってます。

ライフジャケットと足のヒレを装着して、いざ海へ。
水温もそんなに冷たくなく、天気もちょうど晴れてきたのでバッチリでした。

ちゃんとウミガメに会えました。
近くで見れる機会は普段なかなかないので貴重な時間でした。
珊瑚や熱帯魚にもたくさん出会えました。
写真には納められませんでしたが、ウミガメ２匹同時に見ることもできました。
わたしは自分のGoProを持っていきました。
防水ケースに入れていったので故障もなく無事でした。
一緒に回ってくれるお兄さんが写真撮ってくれるので防水カメラなくても楽しめますよ～！！


宮古島の海は想像以上に綺麗なブルーでした。
名の通り宮古ブルーでしたね。
束の間の癒しをありがとうございました。

We had pretty flawless trip out to the Kerema Islands with Marine House Seasir. The tour was entirely in Japanese but the staff at the shop could speak some English. The place was easy to find and we could park about a block away near the port. After filling out our paperwork (in English), we could leave small valuables at the shop, we headed to the boat, which had ample space for everyone as well as equipped with showers, changing rooms, bathrooms all of our gear and even some fun extras like a water slide.

We were given a brief introduction to snorkeling by the staff and arranged into teams with a guide for each group on the boat. The guides were very bubbly and fun! Being this was my children's first time, this really put them at ease.

The ride out to the islands wasnt too long and we could enjoy the ocean breeze. Once we reached our point, we put on our gear and away we went into the water. Keep in mind, you are either required to wear a life vest or a wetsuit. If you forgo the wet suit, you must wear a life vest while snorkeling. We could see a variety of fish and living coral out on the reef as well as a sea turtle and sea snake. The guides encouraged us to stay together for the first half hour or so then we had a water break, After that we could choose what we would like to do. There were jet skis, banana boats and parasailing available for an extra fee, and using the waterslide was free and a lot of fun. You could also continue snorkeling as long as you stayed in the general vacinity of the boat.

The staff took pictures and gave us a QR code to get the pictures from a web site. Using that web site is a bit complicated and it isnt in English, so I needed some help from my Japanese husband when I got home.

Overall the trip was pretty good value for the money. I would certainly recommend it, especially for beginners.

I didn't expect to see sea turtles, so I was really glad I could! I'm sorry for causing a lot of trouble, but the staff were so kind and attentive, and I truly appreciated it! The other guests I was with were also nice, so I had a great time☆★☆ Thank you so much! (^^)

ウミガメ見れると思わなかったので見れて良かったです♡ご迷惑たくさんかけて申し訳なかったですがスタッフさんも優しく至れり尽くせりで本当ありがたかったです！一緒になったゲストの方も良い方だったので楽しく過ごせました☆★☆
本当にありがとうございます(^^)

I was able to see three sea turtles!
I got to take a lot of photos and videos!
I was able to snorkel longer than I expected and saw plenty of fish, so I’m very satisfied!

3匹ウミガメ見れました！
いっぱい写真や動画を撮ってもらえました！
思ったより長くシュノーケルができて魚もいっぱい見れて大満足です！

I was looking for a morning snorkeling tour and decided to join this one. Depending on the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, which changed the purpose of the tour, and I was disappointed. I do enjoy snorkeling, so I had some fun, but the guide's attitude wasn't very good, and most of the photos we received were blurry, which made it even more disappointing.

早朝シュノーケルを探していて決めました。
天候にもよるかもしれませんが、青の洞窟には行けずこのツアーの目的も変わってしまって残念でした。
シュノーケルは好きなのでそれなりに楽しめましたが、ガイドさんの態度もあまり良くなくいただいた写真データもほとんどボケていたため更に残念な感じでした。

I booked the sea turtle snorkeling course with SAP.

During the snorkeling, I was able to see three sea turtles and swim with beautiful fish, which was incredibly moving! I had also done snorkeling in Hawaii, but I was surprised that this experience was even more beautiful than that one.

It was my first time trying SAP, but even someone like me, who is not athletic, was able to master it quickly. Floating in the middle of the ocean while feeling the sea breeze was the ultimate luxury and a great way to unwind.

Both activities had staff who were relaxed, friendly, and attentive, making it easy to connect and chat! On the way back, they kindly offered to take me to my hotel (I paid an additional fee), and we had a fun conversation during the ride.

I also appreciated that they took many photos during the activities and sent them to me via LINE! There were over 50 photos each, allowing me to look back on the memories later. In particular, I want to show off the underwater photos taken with the sea turtles!

I was very satisfied, so I definitely want to use this service again when I visit next time. Thank you very much!

ウミガメシュノーケリング→SAPというコースで予約しました。

シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメが3匹も見れて、そしてキレイな魚たちと一緒に泳ぐことができて大感動！ハワイでもシュノーケリングをしたことがありましたが、そのときよりも今回の方がキレイだったのには驚きました。

SAPは初挑戦でしたが、運動音痴の私でもすぐに使いこなすことができ、海風を浴びながら海の真ん中を漂っている時間が、無になれて最高に贅沢でした。

2つのアクティビティとも、スタッフさんがラフで気さくで丁寧ですぐに打ち解けて話せました！帰りにホテルまで送ってもらったのですが（追加料金お支払いしてます）、快く引き受けてくれて車内でも楽しくお話しながら帰ることができました。

また、有難かったのが、アクティビティ中の様子をたくさん写真に撮っていていただき、LINEで送ってくださったこと！写真はそれぞれ50枚以上もあり、後でゆっくり思い出として見返せます。
特に、ウミガメと一緒に撮ってもらった水中写真は周りに自慢したいと思います！

大満足でしたので、是非また訪れた際には利用したいです。本当にありがとうございました！

I participated in the SUP + Blue Cave Snorkeling Plan, and it turned out to be an incredibly satisfying activity!

■ Before Participation
The day before the tour, I received a phone call from the staff regarding the meeting place and time, which I thought was very kind. This is a good opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

■ Tour Flow
After gathering, we enjoyed the activity in the following order by riding in a microbus:
1) SUP at Kabira Bay
2) Lunch at Kabira Park
3) Moved to a beach near the Blue Cave for snorkeling
- Since we won't return until after snorkeling, I recommend bringing your wallet and phone.
- Since you'll be in a swimsuit the whole time, it's good to have a towel and a cover-up.
- If there's a wait for lunch, I also recommend taking a glass-bottom boat ride.

■ Impressions
The guide actively engaged with us during the ride, making it lively, and took over 100 photos to send us later! Although we couldn't go out to sea for snorkeling due to thunder, we were guided to a spot where we could see clownfish, and we were able to go to a waterfall where we could jump in. Even with bad weather, it’s a satisfying plan!

SUP+青の洞窟シュノーケリングプランに参加しました。
結果的に大満足のアクティビティとなりました！

■参加前
ツアー前日にスタッフの方から集合場所と時間の連絡が電話であり、とても親切だと思いました。
このタイミングで確認したいことがあれば聞いておくことができます。

■ツアーの流れ
集合後、マイクロバスに乗って以下の流れでアクティビティを楽しみました。
1)川平湾でSUP
2)川平公園で昼食
3)青の洞窟近くの浜辺へ移動しシュノーケリング
・出発してからシュノーケリング終了まで戻らないので財布や携帯は持っていくのをオススメします。
・ずっと水着なのでタオルや上から着る服があるといいです。
・お昼の待ち時間がある場合はグラスボートに乗ることもオススメします。

■感想
ガイドさんは移動中の車内でも、積極的にお話をしてくれて盛り上げてくれますし、100枚を超える写真を撮って後で送ってくれます！
シュノーケリングは雷の影響で沖には行けませんでしたが、カクレクマノミが見れる場所まで案内してもらった後、飛び込みができる滝まで行くことができました。
悪天候だとしても満足できるプランです！

- Although the weather was unfortunately cloudy, our guide worked hard and we were able to meet the sea turtles we had been looking forward to! They took many photos and videos for us, creating wonderful memories. (The attached photo was taken and sent by our guide.)
- The service included transportation, and they provided everything except for swimsuits, towels, and beach sandals, which was very convenient.
- The shower booths after the experience were clean, and they had shampoo and other amenities, making it comfortable. After changing clothes, they even offered us warm coffee, which was a lovely touch of hospitality. Thank you for the wonderful summer memories!

・あいにくの曇天でしたが、ガイドさんが頑張ってくださり念願のウミガメに会うことができました！写真や動画もたくさん撮ってくださり、いい思い出になりました。(添付の写真はガイドさんが撮って送ってくださったものです)
・送迎付きで、水着とタオルとビーチサンダル以外は全て準備して下さり、とても便利でした。
・体験後のシャワーブースも清潔感があり、シャンプーなども備えてあって快適でした。服を着替え終わった後には温かいコーヒーも入れてくれ、おもてなしの心が嬉しかったです。素敵な夏の思い出をありがとうございました！

The weather was rainy, but the sea was still beautiful! I appreciated that they explained how to use the snorkeling gear from the very beginning, which was helpful for beginners like me!

I always go on snorkeling tours in remote islands like Ishigaki Island and Miyako Island, but it's quite rare to see sea turtles... This time, I was really glad to see three cute turtles on my first visit! The staff and the shuttle bus service were warm and very easy to talk to.

For the snorkeling tour group, we mainly waited on the second floor of the boat while moving. Due to the weather, the sea breeze was unexpectedly cold, making it a bit chilly. So, having a towel to cover up (like the changing towels used in elementary school pools) would be quite convenient!

The photos were surprisingly vibrant and beautiful. I will definitely come back.

天候は雨でしたが海の中は変わらず綺麗！シュノーケリング初体験の初心者の方にも1から使い方を説明してくれたので助かりました！

石垣島や宮古島などの離島でもシュノーケルツアーは必ず行きますが中々海ガメはレアで見られず…
今回は初回なのに可愛い亀が3匹見れて本当に良かった！
店員さんや送迎バスの対応も温かく、とても話しやすかったです(^_^)
シュノーケルツアー組は船の2階で主に移動する際は待機する感じでした。天候の関係もありましたが、海風は予想以上に冷たく少し寒い。なので上から被るタオル（小学生のプールで使ったようなお着替えタオル）があると結構便利かと…！

写真もびっくりするくらい鮮やかで綺麗でした。また来ます。

I was completely satisfied with the staff, the ocean, and everything. I was touched by the surprise of receiving a birthday present as I was leaving. I definitely want to request this tour again next time!

スタッフさん、海、すべてに大満足でした。
帰り際にバースデープレゼントをいただくといったサプライズもありで感動しました。
次回も是非こちらのツアーでお願いしたいと思います！

The wind was strong, and we weren't sure if we could reach the cave, but they took us there while keeping an eye on us. We could see the fish in the sea clearly, and the cave was glowing with a fluorescent blue light. Thank you for this precious experience.

風が強く、洞窟まで行けるか分からない状況でしたが、私たちの様子を見ながら連れていってくれました。海の魚たちがよく見えて、洞窟は蛍光のブルーで光っていました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

During my first trip to Miyako Island, I was looking for activities and found this service, which I decided to join. The day before, I received an email and a phone call with the designated meeting location! On the day of the event, I checked it on Google Maps and was able to get there without getting lost.

The weather was perfect for the event! In the morning, we did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The instructor kindly gave us a lecture beforehand. Even beginners can quickly get used to it and have fun. The beautiful sea allows you to clearly see fish swimming and coral. Plus, there are opportunities for photo shoots at various spots!

After the morning session, we moved to a different location for snorkeling in the afternoon! We were able to snorkel in another truly beautiful sea. Even those who can't swim felt safe experiencing it. I encountered sea turtles and pufferfish for the first time and even had underwater photos taken together!

The instructor was always smiling and easy to talk to. They shared all sorts of recommendations for Miyako Island, making my trip enjoyable. At the end, we exchanged LINE contacts, and they sent me the photos they took as an album.

I am truly satisfied with my experience participating in this service. Thank you very much! ☆

初めての宮古島旅行で、アクティビティを探してたところ当サービスを知り、参加することになりました。
前日になると、メール/電話で、指定された開催場所を教えていただきました！当日Googleマップで調べて、迷うことなく向かうことができました。
当日は天候に恵まれての開催！
いよいよ、午前中にSUP。事前にインストラクターの方に優しくレクチャーいただきました。初めての方でもすぐに慣れて楽しむことができます。綺麗な海なので、魚が泳いでるところや珊瑚などが鮮明に見ることができます。また、ところどころで写真撮影いただけます！
午前中が終了し、午後はシュノーケリング！
午前中とは別の場所に移動し、こちらも本当に綺麗な海でシュノーケリングをすることができました。泳げない人でも安心して体験することができました。初めて海ガメやフグにも遭遇することができ、一緒に水中撮影いただきました！
インストラクターの方は終始ニコニコしていて、話しやすい方でした。宮古島のおすすめ情報も全て教えてくれるので楽しく旅行をすることができました。
最後にLINE交換して、撮影してくださった写真をアルバムとして送っていただけます。
当サービスに参加して本当に大満足です。ありがとうございました☆

The staff were very kind, and it was a fun day. The ocean was beautiful, and I encountered dolphins and saw sea turtles, which was amazing.

スタッフの方達も大変親切で楽しい1日でした。
とにかく海が綺麗、イルカとも遭遇し海亀にも会えて最高です。

We gathered at noon, and the first activity was stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It was a windy day, so we stayed close to the shore for safety, but it was very relaxing to not only paddle while standing on the board but also to lie down and gaze at the sky. The instructor took some photos for us, and we got to hear stories about Miyako Island, making it a truly relaxing few hours.

After that, the snorkeling was fantastic. Despite the weather not being great, there were plenty of sea turtles, and it felt like we discovered one every time we swam a little! We saw about 6 to 7 turtles, swimming just 30 cm away from them, and it was amazing to watch them eat seaweed while swimming slowly. Seeing a turtle take a breath up close was especially adorable. Additionally, we swam right above the coral reef and saw various colorful fish, and the rain didn't affect our experience at all. The instructor was very friendly and taught us a lot, making it a really enjoyable few hours.

Overall, I’m really glad I participated in this tour.

昼一からの集合で、最初にSUPでした。風が強い日だったので、危険も考慮し陸に近いところでのSUPでしたが、ボードの上に立って漕ぐだけでなく、寝転んでゆったりと空を見ながらぼーっとする時間もありとてもリラックスできた。インストラクターの方に写真も撮ってもらったり、宮古島の話も聞けたりで、本当にリラックできた数時間で最高です。

その後のシュノーケリングも、天気がよくなかったにも関わらずウミガメがたくさんいて、ちょっと泳げば発見！という感じで6〜7匹見れました。もう30cmの距離で一緒に泳いだり、海藻を食べてるところをゆっくり泳ぎながら見れたり最高でした。特に、ウミガメが息継ぎする瞬間を間近で見れたのはとても可愛かった。その他にも、珊瑚礁の真上を泳いで色々な色の魚を見れたりと雨降っていても全く関係無かったです。インストラクターの方もとても気さくで色々と教えてくれてとても楽しい数時間でした。

総じて、このツアーは参加して本当に良かった。

In the morning, I experienced snorkeling, and in the afternoon, I tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)! I was very satisfied with the morning snorkeling as I got to swim with sea turtles and see various fish! The afternoon SUP was a bit difficult at first, but as I got used to it little by little, I started to enjoy it＾＾ The instructors changed between snorkeling and SUP, but both were very kind and taught us well, making it a fun experience throughout! They also took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories♪

午前中にシュノーケリング、午後にＳＵＰを体験しました！
午前のシュノーケリングではウミガメと泳げたり、魚を見れたりできたのでとても満足でした！
午後のSUPは最初難しかったですが、少しずつ慣れてくると楽しめるようになりました＾＾
シュノーケリングとSUPではインストラクターの方が変わりましたが、お二人とも優しく教えてくださり、終始たのしかったです！
また、たくさん写真を撮ってくださるのでとても良い思い出になりました♪

【From Application to the Day of the Tour】
I chose this plan without hesitation because there was no other option that combined SUP and snorkeling at the Blue Cave in Kabira Bay. I participated with my husband and our first-year middle school son.
The reservation was confirmed at the time of application, and the fact that there were no cancellation fees until the day before provided peace of mind. They kindly answered my questions during the phone call about the pickup location and time the day before the tour.

【On the Day of Participation】
We were picked up on time (8:45 AM) at the ANA InterContinental where we were staying. After that, we picked up two other groups in the city and headed to Kabira Bay. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared recommendations for shops in the city as well as information about the island's plants and animals, making the car ride very enjoyable and relaxed.

After arriving at Kabira Bay (further into the bay from where the glass-bottom boats depart), we listened to the SUP instructions on land and then headed straight to the sea. During the approximately one hour, we had time for photos at scenic spots and thoroughly enjoyed SUP. Even as a beginner, the stable board allowed me to stand up quickly.

After finishing SUP, we moved by car to the area where the glass-bottom boats depart for lunch and a stroll (about 2 hours). We had lunch at Kabira Shokudo and enjoyed a leisurely time walking on the sandy beach and savoring Blue Seal ice cream. (Since there are no other restrooms during the tour, I recommend using the clean restroom next to the parking lot.)

We then moved to the beach near the Blue Cave (about a 15-minute drive), listened to the snorkeling instructions, and headed to the Blue Cave. Depending on the time, the light coming in may vary, and on this day, it didn't feel as blue, but the cave was mystical with fossils and crystals. After that, we had a snorkeling time a bit further offshore, enjoying beautiful corals and tropical fish for about 30 minutes.
Afterward, we returned to the hotel (the order for the day was ANA InterContinental → city). We arrived around 3:30 PM. I was satisfied with both the content and the duration.

They took a lot of photos for us and sent the data on the same day, creating wonderful memories.

You will be in your swimsuit from pickup until you return. It would be good to have easy-to-wear clothes over your swimsuit for lunchtime and during transfers (men can wear T-shirts, and women can wear quick-drying dresses or rash guards with shorts). While they take photos for you, bringing a waterproof case for your smartphone allows you to capture videos, making it even more fun.

【申し込みから当日まで】
川平湾でSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングの二つが叶うプランは他になかったので迷わずこのプランを申し込みました。中学一年男子と夫婦の3人での参加です。
申し込みと同時に予約確定し、前日までキャンセル料がかからないことも安心材料になりました。
ツアー前日のピックアップ場所と時間のお電話では質問に丁寧に答えてくれました。

【参加当日】
宿泊のANAインターコンチネンタルにて時間通り（8時45分）にピックアップ。その後、市内で2組をピックアップして川平湾へ。担当のガイドさんは知識豊富で道中市街地のオススメのお店や、島の植物や動物についてお話ししてくれ、とても楽しく車内はとても和やかになりました。

川平湾（グラスボートが発着している場所より湾の奥の方）到着後、SUPの説明を陸上で聞き、早速海へ。約1時間の間に写真映えスポットでの撮影タイムとSUPを十分に楽しめました。初めてでも安定感のあるボードなのですぐに立ち上がることができます。

SUP終了後、グラスボートが発着しているエリアに車で移動し昼食と散策タイム（約2時間ほど）川平食堂で昼食をとり、砂浜を散策したりブルシールズのアイスを楽しんだりとゆっくりできました。（ツアー中お手洗いはここしかないので駐車場横の綺麗なお手洗いを利用することをオススメします）

青の洞窟近くの浜辺へ移動（車で15分ほど）シュノーケリングの説明を聞き、青の洞窟へ。時間によっての光の差し込み具合か、この日はそこまで青いとは感じませんでしたが、洞窟には化石や水晶があったり神秘的でした。その後、もう少し沖の方へシュノーケリングタイム。30分ほど美しい珊瑚や熱帯魚を堪能できました。
終了後ホテルへ（この日の順番はANAインターコンチネンタル→市内でした）
到着は15時半頃でした。内容も時間も満足でした。

写真をたくさん撮っていただき、データも当日送っていただき、いい思い出になりました。

ピックアップの時から帰るまでずっと水着を着たままで移動します。昼食時や移動時に脱ぎ着しやすい上から着る服があるといいです（男性はTシャツ、女性は速乾性のあるワンピースやラッシュガードと短パンなど）写真は撮ってもらえますが、スマホ防水ケースを持っていくと動画も撮れるので楽しいです。

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was moved by it. The driver was also very kind, providing guidance on SUP, the ocean, the town, and recommending great places to eat. I had a wonderful day. They took beautiful photos as well, and I am very satisfied!

海がとっても綺麗で感動しました。
ドライバーさんも親切にsupや海の案内、町のことやオススメのご飯屋さんなども教えていただき、
素敵な一日が過ごせました。
写真もキレイに撮って頂き、大満足です！

You can really see sea turtles!! They were absolutely beautiful!!

Also, to be honest, I came here despite the heavy rain warnings and alerts issued nationwide, but frankly, there's no need to worry.

I think the sea won't be rough unless something really unusual happens.

On the day, there were intense downpours and strong winds for a while, but underwater, it was paradise.

In fact, I even thought that diving in the sea is definitely better than being in the mountains during bad weather!

Additionally, the professionals will determine whether it's possible to go based on the weather forecast and their experience, and they explained that even if there is a cancellation, you will get your money back, so I think it's a very reassuring activity to participate in!

ウミガメ本当に会えるんですね！！最高にキレイでした！！

あと、正直、大雨の警報やら注意報が全国的に出てる状況できましたが、はっきりいって心配いりません。

よっぽどのことが無い限り海は荒れないんじゃないかなと思います。

当日は一時的にすごい豪雨と突風が吹き荒れましたが、水の中はパラダイスでした。

むしろ、悪天候は山より海潜った方が断然いいとすら思いました！

あとは、プロが翌日の天候なら可能か否か、と予報と経験をもって判断してくれますし、万が一キャンセルになってもお金は戻ってくるとの説明もしてくださって、とても安心して参加できるアクティビティだとおもいます！

Thank you for the wonderful snorkeling experience. My family and I participated and were thrilled to finally see a sea turtle. Before snorkeling, there was a detailed explanation, and during the experience, they took photos with an underwater camera and later sent us the pictures with the sea turtles for free. Thank you very much. I highly recommend snorkeling in Yakushima, at Ichinose.

シュノーケリングでお世話になりました．
家族で参加し，念願のウミガメに会え感動でした．
シュノーケリングの前には細かな説明があり，体験中には水中カメラで写真撮影していただき，後日無料でウミガメとの写真をデータで送っていただきました．ありがとうございました．
屋久島，一湊でのシュノーケリング，おすすめです．

Not only the activities, but I highly recommend booking this tour at the beginning of your trip! The stories about Ishigaki Island, gourmet food, sunsets, butterflies, and city recommendations were all incredibly valuable as I continued my journey! With the longer duration, the way you ask questions can lead to gathering a wealth of information. Additionally, you can experience two representative activities, and not only is the Blue Cave beautiful inside, but there are also stunning coral reefs nearby, allowing you to enjoy three activities in total!

アクティビティはもちろんのこと、こちらのツアーは旅最初に申し込むことをオススメいたします！
石垣島の話、グルメ、サンセット、蝶々、街のオススメなど、これから旅を進める上でも非常に貴重なお話ばかりでした！
時間が長い分、こちらの質問の仕方次第でいかようにも情報収集ができました。
また、代表的なアクティビティの2つが経験でき、青の洞窟も洞窟内だけでなく、近くには綺麗な珊瑚礁も広がっているのでアクティビティも3つ分楽しめます！

I can't believe there is such a beautiful sea just an hour from Naha. I've been to many places, but I didn't know there was such a view so close by.
I was able to swim with turtles, and I received a lot of explanations about the fish. They provided everything, including towels, showers, always available drinking water and tea, and even lunch. It was so convenient!

那覇から１時間でこんなキレイな海があるなんて。あちこち行きましたけど、こんな近くにこんな景色があることを知りませんでした。
亀とも泳げたし、お魚の説明も沢山してもらえました。タオルやシャワー、常に飲める水やお茶、お弁当まで、ぜーんぶ用意して貰えるし、楽ちんすぎました！
