All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

We took a 2-hour kayaking adventure along cliffs near Malibu beach provided by Aruguide. We enjoyed the activity very much thanks to Ryan who was our energetic instructor with expertise on kayaking in Okinawa waters. This was a bonus to us as we never expected to have an English speaking trainer whom we could communicate at ease since we don't speak any Japanese at all.

I was guided very well by "Match." I have experienced snorkeling tours many times, but this was the best. The Blue Cave was very crowded, but with the right guide, I thoroughly enjoyed the peppermint blue waters. The photos taken were wonderful and I believe they will be a precious memory for my family. Next time, I would like to try scuba diving.

ガイドの「マッチさん」にとても上手に案内していただきました。シュノーケリングツアーは何度も経験していますが最上でした。青の洞窟はとても混んでいましたが、適切なガイドで、ペパーミントブルーを満喫しました。撮って頂いた写真はとても素晴らしく、家族の大切な記念になると思います。次回はタンクに挑戦したいと思います。

Each group is assigned a guide, so we received attentive care. It was easy to reach the Blue Cave by boat, and I was pleased to have a hot shower. The weather was great, so I was very satisfied.

グループごとにガイドさんが付いてくれるので、きめ細かくケアしてもらえました。船で青の洞窟近くまで行けるので楽チンで、温水シャワーもうれしかったです。天気もよかったので大満足です。

The cave itself is wonderful. If you don't mind bumping into other tourists on your way in and out, it's a great not-too-long activity. There was a huge line to take a photo in the bluest part of the cave, so me and my boyfriend decided to have our guide take our photo in another spot (still insanely gorgeously blue) so we could spend the rest of the time snorkeling.

What I liked aside from the cave were two things: first, they give you "esa" (bait) and you just hold your hand out and the fish come to you! The next thing was that everyone's guide has this really nice underwater camera and they take photos of you the whole time, like 100. You can download them on to your phone and they also give you a CD at the end for free. Beautiful photos, great for couples.

On my first trip to Ishigaki Island, while just sightseeing would have been nice, I wanted to see the beautiful ocean and southern fish since I had come all the way from Hokkaido, so I joined this tour. The staff were friendly and explained everything in detail, and the boat was a large one that could accommodate 100 people, so we had plenty of space to relax. It seemed like they took us to the best spots based on the day's weather and wave conditions. The staff accompanied us while snorkeling and explained various fish. We even saw Nemo! The waves were calm that day, and we had a great time. However, it was unfortunate that they didn't inform us of the departure time, so I wasn't sure how long we could enjoy snorkeling and couldn't make the most of it. I think it might depend on the weather, but if you're visiting Okinawa, I definitely recommend participating.

初めての石垣島で、普通に観光するのもいいけど　せっかく北海道から南の果てまで来たので綺麗な海と南の魚を見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
スタッフは気さくで丁寧に説明してくれて、船も１００人乗りの大きな船で余裕で過ごせました。
その日の天気と波の状態で一番良いところに連れて行ってくれるみたいでした。
スタッフがシュノーケリング中ついてくれて色々な魚とかを説明してくれました。ニモもいたよ！
この日は波も穏やかで楽しめました。
ただ出発時間を教えてくれてなかったので、いつまでシュノーケリングで自由時間を過ごせるか解らなくて有効に使えなかったのが残念でした。
天気にも左右されるかと思いますが、折角沖縄に来たなら参加するのをお勧めします。

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed the best of the Blue Cave. The person who guided us that day was very enthusiastic and kind, which made us feel at ease and allowed us to have a lot of fun. Thank you! I have come to love Okinawa even more.

天気にも恵まれベストの青の洞窟が楽しめもした。
当日ご案内下さった方もサービス精神旺盛な、とても良い方で、安心してたっぷり楽しめました。ありがとうございます。沖縄がもっと好きになりました。

This time I participated with my colleagues from work. It was a shame that the waves were high and we couldn't make it to the sea to see the sunset until the end, but the instructor was a fun person, so I was satisfied!

今回は会社の同僚と参加しました。波が高くて、海まで出て、サンセットを最後まで見れなかったのは残念でしたが、インストラクターの方も楽しい人だったので満足です！

I participated with my friend's family. The 4-year-old wore a life jacket and brought a box-shaped magnifying glass, while the 5-year-old joined with a life jacket, snorkel mask, and fins. It seemed difficult for the snorkel mask to keep water out because they were breathing through their nose... The kids were also able to hold onto the large float that the guide had, so there was no worry about being swept away, and they had a great time. The guide adjusted the pace to match the children's, allowing the parents to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! I highly recommend it for families with children.

友達家族と参加しました。4歳の子はライフジャケットと持参した箱メガネ、5歳の子はライフジャケットにシュノーケルマスクとフィンで参加しました。シュノーケルマスクは鼻で息をしてしまうせいで水が入り込んで大変そうでした…。
子供はさらに、ガイドさんの持ってる大きな浮き輪に掴まっていくので流される心配もなく楽しめました。
ガイドさんが子供たちのペースに合わせて進んでくれるので、親も安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました！子連れにもオススメです。

The guide is so nice and friendly! Showing me beautiful scenery. I have an awesome kayak experience in Okinawa :)

I had a wonderful experience with the best weather. The snorkeling lecture was thorough, so I was able to see many fish without any issues. I was constantly amazed by the scenery on the phantom island. They even lent me a mermaid costume for free. Next time, I want to sign up for the full-day course.

最高の天気で素晴らしい経験ができました。シュノーケルのレクチャーをしっかりして頂いたので、全く問題なくたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。幻の島では景色に感動しっぱなしでした。マーメイドの衣装を無料で貸して頂きました。次回は１日コースを申し込みたいです。

Our guide, Mr. Iwamoto, had a tough appearance but was very kind. It wasn't just about trekking or snorkeling; I learned a lot about Iriomote Island, plants, and animals, making it a very satisfying day. Also, the PM Sea plan included canoeing and trekking while I still had energy, which was just right.

I definitely want to go again.

ガイドの岩本さんがこわもてなのに
優しかったです。
ただトレッキングをするとか、
シュノーケリングするとかではなく
西表島とか植物、動物のこともいろいろ
教えてもらえて大満足の一日でした。
また、PM海というプランで
体力のあるうちにカヌーやトレッキングだったので
ちょうどよかったです。

また是非行きたいと思いました。

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！

The beautiful sea and being able to see the fish up close was very moving and created great memories! The local staff's service was also good.

キレイな海、魚たちを真近で見れとても感動&いい思い出が出来ました！現地のスタッフさんの対応も良かったです。

Just a little, the wind was strong and I felt a bit anxious, but the instructor's exquisite (◠‿◠) talk eased my worries and helped me relax〜╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ While flying, it was fun and the time passed in the blink of an eye.

チョッとだけ 風が 強く 不安な気持ちも あったけど、インストラクターの方が 絶妙( ◠‿◠ )な トークで 和ませてくれて リラックスできましたぁ〜╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ 飛んで居る時も 楽しくて あっと言う間な時間を 過ごせました。

I also visited the Blue Grotto in Italy, and it was just as wonderful, thanks to the fun lead from the staff. I was overwhelmed by the beautiful blue colors inside the cave and the colorful tropical fish surrounding it. Since we went early, we were able to experience the tropical fish and the different shades of blue in the cave, but later in the day, it was quite crowded with many people.

Kayaking while enjoying the beautiful waters of Okinawa was a lot of fun, with amazing clarity that allowed us to see the ruggedness of the rocks. I hope the clarity is maintained.

Our family, from those in their 60s to preschoolers, all had a great time.

Thank you, Ko-chan and Pi-chan.

イタリアの　青の洞窟にも　行きましたが　スタッフの楽しいリードで　勝るとも劣らないすばらしさでした。
綺麗な洞窟内の青色と　洞窟周りにいる、色とりどりの熱帯魚にも　圧倒されました

こうちゃん　ピーちゃんありがとうございました。

It was amazing. I never thought I would be able to kayak in my 60s. The weather was perfect, and all I could hear was the sound of paddling through the mangrove forest, making me forget about everyday life. It was truly a wonderful time. Thank you, Eri.

最高でした。　６０代でカヤックが漕げるなんて思ってなかった。お天気にも恵まれ、マングローブの林の中、カヤックを漕ぐ音だけが聞こえて、日常を忘れてしまう、本当にいい時間でした。えりぃさんどうもありがとう。

First, we received an explanation on how to paddle and practiced a bit on the river. After seeing the mangroves, we paddled out towards the sea. The instructor also shared recommendations for souvenirs and food in Okinawa, in addition to information about the rivers and mangroves. The sunset viewed from the sea was very beautiful. The reason I chose this tour was that it offered a lot, including kayaking, mangroves, and the sunset, not just kayaking alone.

最初に漕ぎ方の説明を受け、少し川で練習します。
マングローブを見た後、海に向かって漕ぎ出します。
インストラクターさんから沖縄の川の事やマングローブの事以外にも
沖縄でお勧めのお土産やご飯のお話しも聞けました。
海の上から見るサンセットはとても綺麗でした。
このツアーに決めたのは、カヤックのみではなくて、カヤック、マングローブ、サンセットと盛りだくさんになっているところが決め手でした。

On my first trip to Okinawa, I wanted to have a memorable experience, so I participated in snorkeling at the Blue Cave. On the day of the event, the waves were a bit strong, which made my 5-year-old son scared and hesitant. However, the staff member who assisted us was very kind and supportive, and in the end, he had a great time and was all smiles! Our whole family was amazed by the stunning scenery, repeatedly saying "Amazing! Amazing!!" We created wonderful memories! Thank you, Mr. Kinjo!

初めての沖縄旅行で、思い出に残る体験を。。と思い、青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加しました。当日、少し波が強かったこともあり5歳の次男は怖がって怯んでしまいましたが、担当してくれた方が優しくサポートしてくださり、最後は楽しかった！！と笑顔♪家族全員、綺麗すぎる景色にスゴイ！スゴイ！！の連発で、いい思い出ができました！！
金城さん、ありがとうございました！！

My first time in Okinawa, my first time snorkeling, and even though I can't swim, I wanted to try snorkeling at least once in my life, so I decided to give it a go ( ˆoˆ ). It's a plan with a GoPro! It was so much fun! An instructor is assigned to us, and it's totally fine if you can't swim ( ^_^ ). The person who was with us was really nice and taught us patiently, and even if you're not confident in swimming, they provide a float, so as long as you hold on, you'll reach the Blue Cave (laughs). They took a lot of pictures with an underwater camera. We also used the GoPro to take photos and videos, but the instructor dove a few meters down and filmed us as well ( ˆoˆ ). Feeding the fish was also a lot of fun!! I highly recommend snorkeling at the Blue Cave!

初めての沖縄、初めてのシュノーケリング、泳げないわたしですが、人生で1度はシュノーケリングをやってみたくて体験してみることにしました( ˆoˆ )gopro付きプランです！とにかく楽しかった！インストラクターさんが1人付いてくれますし、泳げなくても全然平気です( ^_^ )わたしたちに付いてくれた方がとてもいい方で丁寧に教えてくれますし、泳ぎに自信がなくても浮き輪を持っていてくれるので捕まっていれば青の洞窟に着きます(笑)水中カメラで写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。わたしたち自身goproを使い写真、動画を撮りましたが、インストラクターのお兄さんが素潜りで数m下まで潜り動画も撮ってくれました( ˆoˆ )魚にエサをあげるのもとても楽しかったです！！青の洞窟シュノーケリングおすすめです！

First, I was guided to the mangroves and learned about various plants and animals! The movement of the fiddler crab's claws was adorable. We went to see the sunset; there were a few clouds, but the sky turned red and it was very beautiful. The person in charge had a lot of knowledge and our conversation was enjoyable.

最初にマングローブへ案内してもらい、色々な動植物を教えて頂きました！
蟹のシオマネキのハサミの動きが可愛かったです。
夕日を見に行き、少し雲がありましたが、空が赤くなりとても綺麗でした。
担当された方が、色々な知識がありお話も楽しかったです。

The captain and all the staff were very kind.
We went snorkeling between Taketomi Island and Ishigaki Island. The view from the boat before reaching the snorkeling point was a vibrant blue sea that I had never seen before, and it was truly moving!!
During snorkeling, they taught us how to wear the masks, so very little water got in, and we were able to swim comfortably. They also explained the names of the fish, which allowed us to enjoy a different experience than just swimming on our own.
There was also a shower room with shampoo and conditioner provided, so we could go straight to the airport comfortably. I would like to use their services again next time. I want to go diving next time to see a different view. Thank you very much!!

船長さんをはじめスタッフのみなさんがとても親切でした。
竹富島と石垣島の間でのシューノケリングをしました。ポイントに着くまでの船からみる景色が今までに見たことのない鮮やかな青い海でとても感動しました!!
シュノーケルの際にはマスクの付け方を教えて頂きほとんど水が入らず快適に泳ぐことができました。また魚の名前も説明して頂き自分たちだけでは泳ぐ時とは違う楽しみ方ができました。
シャワー室もありシャンプーやリンスも備え付けであったため、そのまま飛行機に乗ることができ快適でした。次回もまたお世話になりたいと思っています。次はダイビングでまた違う景色を見にいきたいと思います。ありがとうございました!!

I was able to see the Blue Cave, and it was a wonderful experience. I also got to feed the fish, which made for a very fulfilling time.

青の洞窟も見ることができ、非常にいい経験をすることができました。
魚に餌をあげることもでき、密度の濃い時間を過ごすことができまし。

Initially, the waves were high, and I was worried we might not be able to enter the Blue Cave, but thankfully we were able to go in. Moreover, we were lucky that the cave was not crowded, allowing us to stay for a while. The kayak ride to the cave was also a lot of fun.

当初、波が高く、青の洞窟内には入れないかもとのことでしたが、無事、入ることができ、よかったです。しかも、運よく洞窟内がすいていたため、長居することができました。洞窟までのカヤックもとても楽しかったです。

Since it was during Golden Week, the Phantom Island was more crowded than expected (laughs), but the scenery was exactly as depicted in guidebooks, and just being there was satisfying. The guide was friendly and provided various explanations, so even though the time was short, I was able to relax and enjoy the tour very much. The equipment was all new and clean, which was a big plus. I have snorkeled in places like Okinawa, the Great Barrier Reef, and Palau, but the clarity of the water here was the highest, and the number and variety of fish I saw were the best. I hope to try diving when my son gets older. I hope the coral has recovered a bit by then.

GWの参加だったので、幻の島は予想以上に混雑していた(笑)けれど、ガイドブック等に載っている正にそのままの景色が広がり、もはやその場に居るだけで満足という感じだった。ガイドさんが気さくに声をかけて下さったり様々な説明をして下さるので、短い時間ではあったがとてもリラックスしてツアーを楽しむことができた。機材はどれも新しくきれいだったのもポイント高い。これまで沖縄本島やGBR、パラオなどでもシュノーケリングしたが、どこよりも透明度が高く、見られた魚の数も種類も一番だった。息子が大きくなったら、是非ダイビングに挑戦したいと思った。それまでにサンゴが少しでも復活していてくれますように。

Since it was Golden Week, I made a reservation with plenty of time to consider the car rental pickup time and road traffic, but I arrived more smoothly than expected. I was able to participate earlier than my reservation time. The weather was also favorable, and I was able to see the beautiful sea with high transparency. Additionally, the staff were very courteous, and I appreciated that there was no unnecessary waiting time.

ＧＷだったのでレンタカーの受け渡しの時間や道路の渋滞を考慮して時間に余裕を持って予約しましたが、予想よりもスムーズに到着。予約よりも早い時間に参加させていただきました。
天気にも恵まれ透明度が高いきれいな海を見ることが出来ました。
また、スタッフの方は丁寧な対応で、余計な待ち時間が無かったで良かったです。

On the day of the trip, the boat to the Blue Cave was not departing, so we changed to a different location. I felt disappointed, and I was expecting a female guide, but to my surprise, it was a male guide (laughs). At first, I was anxious and nervous.

However, perhaps it was the guide's personality (I forgot to ask his name), but he was very kind and easy to talk to. He provided detailed explanations about clownfish, which helped ease my initial anxiety. I really enjoyed snorkeling and felt rejuvenated by the sea and the fish. I made some wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

The only regret is not being able to go to the Blue Cave, so I would like to try again.

当日は青の洞窟までの船が出航しないとのことで別のポイントに変更になりました。残念な気持ちと女性ガイドさんかと思っていたらまさかの男性ガイドさん笑 はじめは不安と緊張でした。

しかし、ガイドさんの(お名前お伺うの忘れてしまいました。)お人柄なのでしょうか。とても優しく話しやすいガイドさんでクマノミについての説明も詳しくして頂けました。はじめの不安も無くなりシュノーケリングも凄く楽しめて海と魚に癒されました。良い思い出が増えました。ありがとうございました‼

青の洞窟に行けなかったのが唯一心残りなので、またリベンジしたいと思います。

Please choose a day with a high probability of going to the Blue Cave when making your reservation. We departed on our second preferred date, taking the first boat at 7 AM. Since we wore our swimsuits from the hotel, we changed quickly (we were also lent snorkeling shoes) and received a brief explanation about snorkeling. Since it was early in the morning, there was only our group participating. Instead of taking a boat, we swam close to the Blue Cave, which was a great decision! While floating and watching the fish, we arrived at the cave! We were taken blindfolded to the scenic point. There were few participants from other companies, so we could relax and take many photos, which made us very satisfied. After seeing the Blue Cave, we floated back to the shore while feeding the fish. Afterward, we decided to change and shower at the hotel. Although there are showers and hairdryers at the parking lot of Maeda Point, we wanted to take our time preparing. Since we gathered at the site by car, we could leave all our belongings in the car, and for those who shower at the hotel, just a towel and a change of underwear should be enough. Women with long hair should not forget hair ties! Overall, the instructor was very kind, and I truly felt that choosing this tour was the right decision! I want to go again next time for diving!

予約のときに青の洞窟に行ける確率が高い日をチョイスしてくださいまして、第二希望の日程、朝一7時の便で出発しました。
ホテルから水着を着て行ったので着替えをスムーズに済ませ(靴もシュノーケリングのシューズを貸してもらいます)、簡単にシュノーケリングの説明を受けました。
朝一ということもあって参加者は私達1組でした。
ボートではなく青の洞窟近くまで泳いで行きましたが、大正解でした！
ぷかぷか浮きながらお魚を見ているうちに洞窟に到着！
絶景ポイントまで目隠しで連れて行ってもらいました。
他社の参加者も少なくゆっくり過ごせて、写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足です☆
青の洞窟を見た後は餌付けをしながら海岸までまたぷかぷか♪
終わってからは着替えてシャワーはホテルに帰ることにしました。
シャワーとドライヤーは真栄田岬の駐車場にありますが、ゆっくり準備したかったので…
車で現地集合なので荷物は全て車に置いて行けますし、シャワーをホテルでする方はタオルと着替えの下着があれば十分だと思います。
髪の長い女性はヘアゴムを忘れずに！
とにかくインストラクターの方がとても親切で、このツアーにして本当によかったと思います！
今度はダイビングでまた行きたいです！

This Snorkeling tour was amazing and our Guide was very kind and helpful. Okinawa's Blue cave is beautiful and filled with many different types of fish. We got to feed the fish and take many pictures. Overall it was an unforgettable experience and we can't wait to go back.

The weather wasn't very good, so it was just my husband and me who participated. After arriving, we quickly moved to the boat, changed, and set off. This was my third time snorkeling, and the explanation on how to wear the underwater mask and snorkel was very clear, making it the most comfortable snorkeling experience I've had with minimal seawater getting in. The waves were high and it was a bit cold, so the weather conditions weren't great, but we had plenty of time and were able to see many fish. When we returned to the shop, there were showers available, and we could head out for sightseeing right after, which was helpful. Overall, I felt there wasn't much explanation and the response was a bit dry, so I think this shop is recommended for those who are experienced or prefer not to have too many explanations.

天気かあまり良くなかったせいか参加は私達夫婦だけでした。到着後すぐ船に移動して着替えをして出発。シュノーケリングは3回目でしたが、水中マスクとシュノーケルの装着の仕方の説明がとても分かりやすく、今までで一番海水が入らず快適にシュノーケリングができました。波が高く少し寒かったので天気のコンディションはあまり良くありませんでしたが、時間もたっぷりとっていただきたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました。ショップに帰るとシャワーもありその後観光にもすぐ行けたので助かりました。全体的にあまり説明がなくドライな対応だなと感じたので、慣れた方や煩わしい説明が入らない方はオススメのショップだと思います。

Since we had to gather at the location, we needed to manage our time carefully that day. However, as soon as we arrived at Adventure Island, we were guided promptly, allowing us to prepare for the sea smoothly. The person who joined us was a tourist from overseas, so it was great that we had a guide who could speak English, which seemed to make him very happy.

In the sea and caves, the guide adjusted to our pace, allowing us to enjoy the experience thoroughly. There were more fish swimming close by than I expected, and being able to feed them was also a wonderful experience. Thank you for the valuable experience.

現地集合なので、計画的に時間をみてその日は行動しなくてはいけませんでしたが、冒険島さんの店舗につくとすぐに案内していただきスムーズに海への準備ができました。一緒に参加した彼が海外からの観光だったので英語のできるガイドさんについてもらえたことが本人もとてもうれしかったようでした。
海や洞窟の中でも私たちのペースにあわせてくださって、じっくりと楽しむことができました。
思った以上にたくさんの魚がすぐ近くを泳いでいて、餌をあげられるのもとてもよかったと思いました。
貴重な体験をありがとうございました。
