川平湾SUP or カヌーツアー 幻の島上陸付プランもあり 石垣島の定番スポットを半日~満喫できる!<1名参加OK/市街地送迎可/写真無料/石垣島発>

First time snorkeling. 初めてシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: misamisa

I participated with my elementary school-aged child. I wanted to expose my indoor child to nature, so I joined this tour. To be honest, I was worried about whether they would enjoy it, but they had a great time. The snorkeling in the Blue Cave was especially exciting because we could see the fish up close, and my child was thrilled! I hope this encourages them to take on more challenges in the future.

まだ小学生の子供と参加しました。普段からインドアなうちの子を自然に触れさせてみたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。
正直楽しんでくれるか不安だったのですが、すごく楽しんでくれました。
特に青の洞窟でのシュノーケルは魚がすごく近くで見れたので、子供も大興奮でした!
これを機にどんどんいろんなことにチャレンジして欲しいです。

Stand-up paddleboarding is fun. サップ楽しい

Reviewed by: mimi

I came to Ishigaki Island to try stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, and I was blessed with great weather—it was truly fun! I could see the seabed clearly, and the guide patiently taught me, a beginner in paddleboarding. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and it was a view I could watch forever! I will definitely come back to Ishigaki Island!

川平湾でのサップボードをしたくて石垣島にきたのですが、天気にも恵まれ本当に楽しかったです!!
海底が透けて見えましたし、ガイドの方がサップ初心者の私に丁寧に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルでは色鮮やかな魚がたくさんいて、ずっと見てられる景色でした!!
また石垣島に遊びにきます!

I was really anxious because I don't have good athletic skills, but by the end, I was able to stand up! ^_^ Thanks to the guide's instruction. Thank you very much. I immediately recommended it to my friends. If there's another opportunity, I look forward to it. And thank you, Takagi!

運動神経が全然良くないので不安だったのですが、最後には立てるようになりました^_^
ガイドさんの指導のおかげです。
ありがとうございました。

Satisfaction. 満足

Reviewed by: 三橋ちー

Since I got tired of island hopping, I decided to participate in an activity. I had always wanted to try kayaking, so I joined this plan that offers kayaking in Kabira Bay.
Kayaking in Kabira Bay was wonderful, but I realized how much fun snorkeling is! I found myself wanting to swim in various places and I might completely get hooked on it!

島巡りも飽きたので、アクティビティに参加することにしました。カヤックを一度やりたかったので、川平湾でカヤックできるこのプランに参加しました。
川平湾でのカヤックも素晴らしかったのですが、シュノーケリングの楽しさに気づいてしまいましたw
色んな場所で泳ぎたくなってしまい完全にハマりそうですw

Private Snorkeling Tour of Okinawa's Blue Cave from Onna

Great way to spend a weekend morning!

Reviewed by: Milind Purohit

I had a great time that weekend morning. Not knowing what to expect I found the dive shop was casual and friendly and we soon went out to the dock for the boat ride. The boat was packed with divers, while I was going to snorkel with a few others. They have many guides, so there was no problem.

The blue cave is very nice. When you get close to it, the boat stops, you plop in the water and swim towards the cave following the floating ring towed by the guide. The cave and environs are pretty busy with divers, and it's a good thing for snorkelers that they all go underwater! Good thing for them too that the volume of the ocean can easily handle their larger numbers compared to the snorkelers on the surface. Saw many coral, and fish, and feeding the fish is fun. Those little things are pretty deft - they will eat their bread pieces from your hand but you can't catch them! The cave is nice and blue in spots, as promised, and the water is very clear. Even though it rained towards the end and on the way back, it doesn't change the cave experience. My guide was very nice and she took 79 pictures with her underwater camera which I received on a CD / DVD. They know all the right spots and poses to shoot for!

My advice is to park in the back in the middle spots (4, 5, 6). Wear your own sandals to the boat - you'll be more comfortable. Arrive in your swimsuit and bring a change of clothes and a towel. That's it, and you'll have a lot of fun!

Kerama Islands 1-Day Snorkeling Tour with Photos from Naha

Avoid this tour

Reviewed by: No

A total waste of money. You aren’t allowed to swim without either wetsuit or life jacket. I got so overheated and sick that I had to sleep all afternoon when I got back. The tour guides act like they don’t even want to be there. They should make exceptions for people who are good swimmers. What was the point of having us sign liability waivers if they make us suffer in wetsuits?

Thank you for having taken your time to provide us with your valuable feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience.

青の洞窟 シュノーケリング 知識と遊び心たっぷりのユニークガイドが好評!混みにくい早朝7時便あり<ビーチエントリー/真栄田岬集合>

I am very satisfied again this time! 今回も大満足です!

Reviewed by: Cynthia

This was my second time participating. Given that it was right after a typhoon, I was worried about the unstable weather, but I was glad we could safely enter the Blue Cave. My husband, my fourth-grade niece, and I had a private tour with a super cool guide. We were lucky in that regard, but he also called my niece by name throughout the tour and took dozens of photos, showing not only a friendly demeanor but also an incredibly high level of hospitality. During snorkeling, he accurately answered our little questions, allowing the adults to enjoy it as well. My niece seemed to really like Shoma, the guide. I was also happy to see the boss who helped us last time. Next time, I plan to bring my younger niece, who is currently not very comfortable in the water, so I appreciate your support.

2回目の参加です。
台風直後ということもあり不安定な天気で心配でしたが、青の洞窟にも無事に入ることができてよかったです。
夫と小4の姪っ子と3人で超カッコいいガイドのお兄さんを貸し切りでした。そんなラッキーもありましたが、終始姪っ子を名前で呼んでくれたり、何十枚も写真を撮ってくれるなど、気さくなだけじゃなく非常に高いホスピタリティーを感じました。
シュノーケリングの間、私たちのちょっとした質問にも的確に答えていただくなど、大人も十分楽しめました。
姪っ子もショウマお兄さんのこと、とっても気に入ったようです。
最後に前回お世話になったボスにもお目にかかれて嬉しかったです。
次回は今のところ海が苦手な下の姪も連れて行きますのでよろしくお願いします。

It had been forecasted to rain all day, but I was relieved when it turned into a beautiful sunny day! It was the most beautiful sea I have ever seen! I was a bit anxious about my first snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding experience, but since it was a small group, I was able to enjoy it comfortably with constant support. I had a great time relaxing and enjoying the great nature of Ishigaki Island for the whole day. Thank you very much.

Reviewed by: てるてる坊主

We were informed the day before our scheduled visit that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to an approaching typhoon. Although we were disappointed since we had come all this way, we switched to snorkeling and participated instead.

The staff who guided us took us to some hidden spots along the way, took lots of photos, and even told us about the sea turtle nesting areas, which made the time spent traveling enjoyable beyond just snorkeling. ☆ They also took many photos during our snorkeling session, so we downloaded them and quickly created our own album! Our spirits were lifted! ⤴︎⤴︎

Next time, we would definitely like to participate when there are no typhoon effects.

Additionally, all the staff were very kind and taught us how to use the facilities. Although our time was short, we had a really fun experience! (The changing room was spacious, making it easy to change into wetsuits!)

Thank you very much.

私達が申し込みしていた日は台風接近の為予定していた青の洞窟には行く事が出来ないと前日にご連絡いただきました。
せっかく来たのだからと気落ちしていましたがシュノーケリングに切り替え参加させていただきました。
引率してくれたスタッフの方が途中隠れスポットに寄り沢山写真を撮ってくれて海ガメ産卵場所を教えてくれたりとシュノーケリング以外の移動中も楽しく過ごせた事が良かったです☆
シュノーケリング中の写真も沢山撮っていただいていたのでダウンロードし早速自分達のアルバムを作りました‼︎
気落ちしてた気持ちも上がりました⤴︎⤴︎
次回は是非台風の影響の受けない頃に是非参加させていただきたいです

またスタッフの皆さまとても親切に施設の使い方等も教えていただき短い時間ではありましたがとても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました‼︎
(施設内の更衣室が広くウェットスーツに着替えをしやすかったです‼︎)

シーカヤックツアー ドローン撮影プランあり!青の洞窟シュノーケルセットも選択可!経験豊富なガイドと行く遊び心満点ツアー<写真無料/読谷村発>

The tour content has been changed due to the impact of Typhoon No. 5. 台風5号の影響によりツアー内容を変更

Reviewed by: 台風一家

The plan for the sea kayaking and snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave was changed to snorkeling at the beach due to the impact of the typhoon. They were flexible and adapted to the situation at that time.

The briefing from the guide before the tour was easy to understand for the children (ages 8 and 7). Although it was cloudy and quite windy, the waves were minimal, visibility was decent, and there were quite a few fish. The guide made various arrangements, allowing the whole family to enjoy the sea. They also took many underwater photos and later sent them to us via a LINE album. Although the tour content was changed, it still turned out to be a satisfying experience.

シーカヤック&青の洞窟シュノーケルのツアーの予定が、台風の影響でビーチでのシュノーケルに変更。その時の状況によって臨機応変に対応してもらいました。
ガイドさんからのツアー前のブリーフィングは、子供(8歳と7歳)にも分かりやすい説明でした。曇っていて風も強かったのですが、波はほとんどなく透明度もまずまずで魚も結構いました。ガイドさんが色々と工夫してくれて、家族みんなで楽しみながら海を満喫しました。また水中の画像をたくさん撮ってくれて、あとでその画像をLINEのアルバムで送ってくれました。ツアー内容は変更となりましたが、それでも満足したツアーとなりました。

It became the best memory of my trip. 旅一番の思い出になりました

Reviewed by: kousuke

They guided me to the bustling streets of Ishigaki Island, and the life jackets and marine boots needed for the marine leisure activities fittingly matched the name "paradise," making everything comfortable and stress-free without having to think about anything.

I especially enjoyed the Blue Cave. I did canoeing and played in the waterfall pool, but snorkeling in the Blue Cave was the most physically demanding, and as a result, I saw a lot of fish and had the most fun.

The Blue Cave is a popular spot, so it can get crowded, but stand-up paddleboarding over the spacious Kabira Bay was the best part, as it was a non-stressful experience without any interruptions.

I felt like I really got my money's worth with all the fun I had! Thank you for making me love Ishigaki Island even more!

石垣島の繁華街に案内してくれたり、楽園という名にふさわしいマリンレジャーに必要なライフジャケット、マリンブーツのサイズもぴったりでとにかく快適に何も考える必要がなくストレスフリーでした。
特に青の洞窟が楽しかったです。
カヌーをしたり滝つぼで遊んだりしましたが、青の洞窟シュノーケルは泳ぐので一番体力を使い、その分魚をたくさん見れて一番楽しかったです。
青の洞窟は人気スポットなので人がわちゃわちゃしてるんですが、サップは広い川平湾の上を誰にも邪魔されないノンストレスなところが最高。
こんなに遊べて得した気分になれました!
大好きな石垣島をもっと好きにしてくれてありがとうございました!

When we arrived, there were many other tour vehicles parked, which heightened our expectations even before we got there! The sea was beautiful, and there were plenty of fish swimming around, making it even more enjoyable than we had anticipated! I didn't want to miss out on Kabira Bay, and it was just as beautiful as I had imagined; I fell in love with it instantly. We had a packed experience, enjoying the view of the sea while swaying with the waves, taking breaks on the board, and standing up to enjoy the amazing location. At the waterfall basin, we swam up to the waterfall and had a refreshing splash of water over our heads, which felt great!

現地につくと他のツアーの車がたくさん停められていて、行く前から期待が高まりました!
海もきれいで魚もたくさん泳いでおり期待以上で楽しかったです!
川平湾は予定から外したくなく、思っていた通りキレイで一瞬で好きになりました。

幻の島上陸&トロピカルシュノーケリング 半日で石垣島の絶景を満喫 初心者歓迎!<半日/市街地送迎/石垣島発>

A fulfilling half-day! Is low tide the best time? 半日でも充実!引き潮が狙い目?

Reviewed by: さんさむ

I participated in the half-day plan. In the morning, they picked me up at the hotel on time and took me to the port. It was farther from the island terminal than I expected, so I was glad I didn't have to go there on my own.

With 14 passengers and 3 crew members, we set off on a boat with a sunshade. They lent us seasickness bands at the start, and thanks to that, even though it was a day with high waves, no one got seasick until the end.

That day, the tide was higher than ever, and the phantom island was only partially visible. Since it was crowded with other tour guests, we decided to snorkel first and then go to the phantom island.

During the transfer, there was a snorkeling lesson, and they provided very detailed instructions.

Finally, we arrived at Ishigaki Coral Lagoon. There were colorful fish and blue and yellow corals! I even saw a clownfish! It was a bit disappointing that the visibility wasn't as high as I had hoped, but I still had a great time.

It was a bit chilly during the transfer after getting in the water, so it would be good to have a cover-up that can get wet.

And finally, we reached the phantom island.

After swimming a bit from the boat, we landed on the island. It was truly a beach-only island, and I was moved! Since the tide had receded more than in the morning and the number of tour guests had decreased, I was glad that RISE adjusted the plan according to the situation. I took plenty of photos for 30 minutes, lay on the sandy beach, and thoroughly enjoyed the phantom island. I didn't have the courage to dress up as a mermaid, but it looked cute when I saw others doing it.

The morning tour ended at 12:00, and they took us back to the hotel afterward.

You can have plenty of fun even with the half-day plan! They provided all the necessary snorkeling gear, tea, and seasickness bands, so all you need to do is wear your swimsuit and bring a towel while waiting at the hotel, which is convenient. The service was very polite, so I highly recommend it. Since the tide was too high this time, I would like to participate again during low tide.

半日プランに参加しました。
朝、時間通りにホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、港まで送ってくれました。離島ターミナルからは思ったより離れた港だったので自力で行かなくて良かったです。

14名の乗客と3名のクルーが乗り込み、日除け屋根つきの船で出発。
出発時に酔い止めバンドを貸してくれました。そのおかげか、波が高い日でしたが最後まで誰も酔っていませんでした。

この日は今までにないほど潮が満ちていて、幻の島は少ししか出ていないそう。他のツアー客で混み合っているので、まずシュノーケルをして、その後に幻の島へ行くことになりました。

移動中にシュノーケル講習があり、細かいところまでとても丁寧に指導してくれました。

いざ石西礁湖へ。
色とりどりの魚や、青や黄の珊瑚!カクレクマノミもいました!透明度は思ったほど高くなかったのが残念でしたが、それでも充分楽しめました。

海に入った後の移動中は少し寒かったので、濡れてもいい羽織りがあると良さそうです。

そしてついに幻の島へ。

船から少し泳いで島へ上陸。
本当に砂浜だけの島、感動しました!
朝よりも潮が引きツアー客も減っていたので、状況をみながらプランを練りなおしてくれるRISEさんで良かったと思いました。
30分間思う存分に写真を撮り、砂浜に寝転がり、幻の島を堪能しました。
人魚のコスプレは勇気が出なくてしませんでしたが、見ていたら可愛かったです。

午前ツアーは12時に終了し、その後ホテルまで送ってくれました。

半日プランでも充分に楽しめます!
シュノーケルに必要な装備全てとお茶、酔い止めバンドも用意してくれ、水着を着てタオルを持ってホテルで待っていればいいので楽です。対応もとても丁寧なのでおススメです。
今回は潮が高すぎたので、引き潮の時にまた参加してみたいです。

Reviewed by: さとさん

I was able to enjoy the experience until the end with lectures tailored to each individual, without neglecting safety or fun. We collected seven starfish and took a group photo with them. Personally, I tried free diving for the first time while snorkeling. It was more exhausting than I expected. Next time, I want to work on diving deeper. Although we had to change locations due to the typhoon, the final diving competition was fun. I will participate again, so thank you in advance.

安全も楽しさも両方疎かにせず一人一人に合ったレクチャーで最後まで楽しめました。ヒトデが多買ったのでヒトデを7つ集めてみんなで写真撮りました。個人的にシュノーケリングで初めて素潜り挑戦。思った以上に体力消耗しました。次はもっと深く潜れるよう頑張りたい。ただ台風のせいでポイント変更にはなってしまいましたが、最後の飛び込み大会?は楽しかったです。また参加しに参りますのでよろしくお願いします。

Dear Sato,

Thank you very much for participating in our one-day snorkeling tour the other day.

As you mentioned, it really does take more energy than expected, doesn’t it? But I hope that the fatigue was a pleasant one for you!

It’s unfortunate that we had to change the location due to the typhoon. We truly hope you can enjoy the clarity of the waters in Kerama next time. There are spots where the chances of encountering sea turtles are quite high!

We look forward to your next visit.

さとさん様のおっしゃるように想像以上に体力を消耗しますよね( *´艸`)
でもその疲れも心地いい疲れだったのではないでしょうか(*^▽^*)??!

台風の影響でポイント変更になり残念(´・ω・`)
是非とも今度はケラマの透明度を堪能していただきたく思います。
ポイントによってはウミガメとの遭遇率が高い場所もあります☆彡

Kerama Islands Beginner-Friendly Diving & Snorkeling Tour with Photos from Naha

Up for a dive near Naha? This is your chance!

All in all it was a brilliant activity and the people being responsible were typical Japanese- so they were polite but also really nice and they knew what they were doing. We had a brilliant time altogether. And unexpectedly saw dolphins on our way back! Thank you so much again!

幻の島上陸&トロピカルシュノーケリング 半日で石垣島の絶景を満喫 初心者歓迎!<半日/市街地送迎/石垣島発>

It's okay even on the last day of the trip! Phantom Island & fish snorkeling!! 旅行最終日でも大丈夫!幻の島&お魚シュノーケリング!!

Reviewed by: はじはじ

I participated in a trip to Ishigaki Island in late June. There were just under 10 participants, and 2 staff members provided us with thorough explanations about snorkeling. My wife, who is not fond of the ocean, forgot her worries because the sea was so beautiful and there were plenty of fish, so she had a great time. I think it's also recommended for beginners. There was a group with children, and in addition to life jackets, they were also provided with children's floaties. On the phantom island, we were able to rent mermaid costumes, which made my wife very happy. There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and the phantom island, and with some free time as well, we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Since we were scheduled to return on an afternoon flight, we used the shower at the office right by the port, and they also recommended a great place for lunch. I was a bit worried that the tour on the last day might be too much, but I’m glad I signed up as we were able to enjoy our Ishigaki Island trip until the very end. It seems there are various other tours available, so I would definitely like to use them again.

6月の後半に石垣島旅行に行った際に参加しました。参加者は10名弱でスタッフは2名ついてくださり、シュノーケリングの説明も丁寧にして頂けました。妻は海が苦手でしたがそんなことを忘れるくらい、海が綺麗で魚もたくさんいたので、楽しんでました。初心者の方にもおすすめだと思います。子連れのグループもいましたが、ライフジャケットに加えて、子供用の浮輪も貸してもらえてました。幻の島ではマーメイドの衣装を借りれて、妻も喜んでました。シュノーケリングも幻の島も時間には余裕がありま
すし、自由時間もあるので、十分楽しめます。午後の飛行機で帰る予定だったので、港からすぐのオフィスでシャワーを使わせて頂き、ついでに昼ごはんのおすすめ店教えて頂きました。最終日にツアーは大変かなとも思っていましたが石垣島旅行を最後の最後まで楽しめて、申し込んで良かったと思います。他にも色々なツアーがあるようなのでまたぜひ、利用したいです

Dear lllll,

Thank you very much for participating in our half-day snorkeling tour the other day.

We prioritize safety management when taking photos. Therefore, there may be situations where we are unable to capture many pictures. We strive to take as many as possible, but we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory number of photos this time.

The waters around Kerama are beautifully clear and transparent, aren't they? It's often referred to as "Kerama Blue," and we're glad you could experience the beauty of the sea.

We also offer full-day tours, so please do come back and visit us again.

We look forward to your next participation.

川平湾SUP or カヌーツアー 幻の島上陸付プランもあり 石垣島の定番スポットを半日~満喫できる!<1名参加OK/市街地送迎可/写真無料/石垣島発>

Relaxation Tour リラックスツアー

Reviewed by: うたこ

I was captivated by the majestic nature of Kabira Bay without feeling the usual noise and stress of daily life. Standing on the SUP, the angle changed, allowing me to see the sea more beautifully from above, which was truly moving. Even though I was still in Japan, the atmosphere felt completely different; the sounds I heard were just the waves and the wind, and I realized I was experiencing a calmness that was the opposite of my usual feelings. I am deeply grateful for the nature of Ishigaki Island.

The Blue Cave was crowded with other people, but the laughter and joyful atmosphere made it not bothersome at all. I was able to observe clownfish and enjoy a luxurious time. The gaps in the coral felt like pathways in the sea, making swimming a lot of fun. Finally, I took a natural shower under the waterfall and had a great time, creating wonderful memories.

日頃の雑音やストレスを感じることなく川平湾の雄大な自然に魅了されました。
supに立つことで角度が変わり上から見渡せ一層海がきれいに見え、感動。
同じ日本でも全く違った時間が流れているので聞こえるのが波の音、風の音に変わっただけなのに普段とは真逆の穏やかな感情になっていることに気づき石垣島の自然に深く感謝。
青の洞窟は他の人たちでいっぱいになってはいましたが、笑い声や楽しい雰囲気だったので全然気にならずクマノミを観察したりして贅沢な時間を過ごせました。
サンゴの隙間が海の道のようになっていて泳いでて楽しかったです。
最後に滝つぼで自然のシャワーと休憩をし、いい思い出になりました。

Ishigaki Island 1-Day Tour 石垣島1日ツアー

Reviewed by: つぐみ

I really wanted to go to the Blue Cave, and I was told that even those who struggled with swimming lessons in school could join, so I participated (laughs). I was able to enjoy the sea of Ishigaki Island very easily without having to carry anything.

The cave was filled with lots of coral, and the staff took pictures of me holding them. Canoeing in Kabira Bay was said to have the best ocean views in Ishigaki Island, and I paddled to my heart's content! At the waterfall basin, I could swim like in a pool and jumping in was surprisingly the most fun part!

青の洞窟にどうしても行きたくて子供から参加でき学生時代プールの授業が苦手だった方でも楽しめますよと教えてもらい参加(笑)
手ぶらで行けてとても楽に石垣島の海を楽しめました。
洞窟にはサンゴがたくさんあって手に持った写真をスタッフ撮ってもらいました。
川平湾でのカヌークルージングは石垣島で最高といわれる海の景色の中で思いのままに漕ぎまくり!
滝つぼではプール感覚で泳げて飛び込んだりして意外とそれが一番たのしかった!

As expected of an isolated island. 流石の離島

Reviewed by: sumiko

I had been looking forward to the tour since I heard that I could do stand-up paddleboarding at the most famous spot in Ishigaki Island, Kabira Bay. I usually enjoy running and am confident in my stamina, and since I also like surfing, I was able to stand up and ride quickly.

During snorkeling, there were many people from other tours, and I discovered different charms of Ishigaki Island that I hadn't known before, which made me very satisfied. I felt reluctant to leave, saying I wanted to stay here forever, and the guide kindly allowed me to stay just a little longer, letting me swim until the very last moment. Thank you! Finally, I was able to wash off the salt at the waterfall and received the tour photos, leaving me with nothing to complain about!

石垣島でいちばん有名な川平湾でサップができるとのことでツアー予約時から期待していました。
普段からランニングが趣味で体力には自信があり、サーフィンも好きなのですぐに立って乗れるようになれました。

シュノーケリングでは他のツアーの人たちもたくさんいて川平湾でサップしたときとは違う石垣島の知らなかった魅力を知ることができ満足。
帰るのが名残惜しく感じ、いつまでもここにいたいと言うと、もうちょっとだけいてもいいですよとガイドさんが融通を聞かせてくれて時間ギリギリまで泳がせてくれました。ありがとう!
最後に滝で潮を洗い落としツアーの写真をもらうことができ、何もいうことがありません!

White sandy beaches, blue sea, and colorful fish. 白い砂浜、青い海と色鮮やかな魚達

Reviewed by: d0316

On the Sunday in the middle of the three-day weekend, I took a half-day tour. The weather was great, and I enjoyed the Phantom Island and snorkeling. The young girls also had fun taking pictures in mermaid costumes available for free rental on Phantom Island.

Since many tour companies gather in one place, it can get crowded, but that's to be expected. On the day of the tour, the port was just a short drive from the meeting point, where we parked and boarded the boat. There were about 20 participants and 3 staff members. They provided a brief snorkeling lecture and accompanied us during the actual snorkeling. We were able to see many fish in the beautiful sea. However, I would have appreciated a bit more time for snorkeling.

One downside was the lack of showers. I had to rinse off using a hose at the port. I recommend staying at a hotel for consecutive nights when using the tour, so you can use the hotel shower during the day.

3連休の真ん中だった日曜日に半日ツアーを利用しました。
天候にも恵まれ、幻の島とシュノーケリングを楽しめました。若い女の子達は幻の島で無料レンタルの人魚コスプレでの撮影も楽しんでいました。
各ツアー会社がわんさか集まるので混雑していますが、仕方ないですね。
当日は待ち合わせ場所から車でほんの少し移動した場所に港があり、そこの駐車場に車を停めて乗船。
参加者約20名に対し、スタッフ3名。シュノーケリングの簡単な講義をしてくれ、実際のシュノーケリングにも帯同してくれました。美しい海で魚をたくさん見ることができました。ただ、もう少しシュノーケリングの時間があると嬉しいところです。
残念だったのはシャワーが無かったこと。仕方なく、港にある水道のホースで体を流しました。ツアー利用の際にはホテルを連泊し、昼間でもホテルのシャワーを使える用意をしておくことをオススメします。
