All Reviews for Okinawa Blue Cave

It was a tour that both my second-grade son and my middle school son, as well as adults, could enjoy. The kayaking was beautiful with the dappled sunlight. After that, we were able to see many different types of fish in the Blue Cave. The water was clear, and we had a lot of fun. The tour guides were all friendly and kind. I would like to participate again when I go to Ishigaki Island.

小2の息子も中2の息子も大人も楽しめるツアーでした。カヤックは木漏れ日がとても綺麗でした。
その後の青の洞窟も色々な種類の魚がたくさん見ることができました。
水も綺麗でたっぷり楽しめることができました。
ツアーの方もみんな親しみやすく、親切でした。また石垣島に行く時は参加したいと思います。

It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and I enjoyed it. They cater to each person's skill level, so beginners can feel at ease. Most areas are shallow, so it's fine even if you can't swim.

初めてのSUP体験でしたが楽しめました。
各人のレベルに応じて対応いただけるので初心者も安心です。
ほとんどの場所が遠浅なので泳げなくても大丈夫です

I had the opportunity to experience SUP and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. We were blessed with great weather, and it became a wonderful memory amidst the stunning scenery. My companions had never tried either activity before, but the instructor was very skilled in teaching, and they were able to enjoy it right away. Thank you for this valuable experience, and I hope to have the opportunity again.

SUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングを体験させていただきました。
天気にも恵まれ、素晴らしい景色の中とても素敵な思い出になりました。
同行者がどちらも未体験だったのですが、インストラクターの方の教え方がとても上手ですぐ楽しめていました。
貴重な体験ありがとうございました、また機会がありましたらよろしくお願いいたします。

I participated with a friend! One of us was snorkeling for the first time and wasn't a strong swimmer, but the staff's explanations and support were easy to understand, and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea and the fish of Ishigaki Island♫

They took a lot of photos with a GoPro camera for each group and sent them to us right after we finished📷

During the transportation, they also recommended many great restaurants and spots, which was super helpful~😊

To put it mildly, the Ishigaki Island snorkeling experience was absolutely amazing! Thank you very much⭐️

友達同士2人で参加しました！
1人は初めてのシュノーケリングで泳ぎも不得意でしたが、スタッフさんの説明もフォローも分かりやすく、しっかりと石垣の綺麗な海とお魚さん達を堪能することが出来ました♫

写真もGoProカメラでグループごとに沢山撮っていたき、終わった後すぐに送ってくれました📷

送迎中もおすすめのご飯屋さんやスポットを沢山教えて頂き、めっちゃ助かりました〜😊

控えめに言って石垣島シュノーケリング体験最高に楽しめました！
ありがとうございました⭐️

I was able to fully enjoy the nature of Ishigaki in a relaxed atmosphere. The scenery of the mangroves and the Blue Cave was wonderful. 😄 The instructor, Ryotaro, was very thorough in his teaching, and despite it being my first experience, I had a great time. The conversation was also interesting, and I learned new things. I highly recommend this activity!❗

ゆったりした時間の中、石垣の自然を満喫できました。マングローブや青の洞窟の景観は素晴らしかったです😄担当してくださったインストラクターのリョウタロウさんがとても丁寧に教えてくださり、初めての体験だったにも関わらず、とても楽しめました。また、トークもおもしろく、新たな学びもありました。おすすめのアクティビティです❗

We participated as a family of five!
SUP was really enjoyable, and surprisingly not too difficult, so I think anyone can do it. The information about the mangroves and the Blue Cave, as well as details about the shops in Ishigaki, were interesting to hear.
The snorkeling had excellent visibility, and the kids had a great time. It was wonderful to experience the world we had seen on TV and in the media firsthand. I want to go again!

家族5人で参加しました！
SUPはすごく気持ち良くて、意外にあまり難しくなく誰でも出来ると思います。マングローブとか青の洞窟の豆知識や、石垣のお店の情報とかを教えて頂き、話が面白かったです。
シュノーケリングは透明度がすごく良くて、子供達も非常に楽しめました。テレビやメディアで見てた世界を実体験出来て、とても嬉しかったです。また行きたいです。

I have experienced SUP in the river, but SUP in the ocean is different; it was beautiful and enjoyable. The water was shallow, so it was okay to fall in, and the scenery was amazing. The tour guides were energetic and entertaining. Everyone spoke English fluently, so foreign participants can join with peace of mind. I would like to participate again when I come to Ishigaki Island.

川でのSUPは体験したことがあるのですが、海のSUPはまた違って、綺麗で楽しめました。遠浅で、落ちても大丈夫ですし、景色も最高でした。ツアーの方々も、元気で楽しませて頂きました。皆さん英語も流暢で、外国の方も安心して参加できます。また、石垣島に来たら、参加したいです。

I participated in the afternoon session, but the area around the Blue Cave was very crowded. The instructor mentioned that it was less busy today, but... During feeding time, the children seemed to have a lot of fun surrounded by many fish. Thank you very much!

午後の回に参加したが、青の洞窟周辺は大混雑
インストラクターの方は、今日は空いてる方とは言っていたが…
餌やりついており、たくさんの魚に囲まれて、子どもたちは楽しそうだった
ありがとうございました

I decided to try snorkeling for the first time in Ishigaki Island and joined this Blue Cave snorkeling tour. In a word, it was a hit! It was an absolutely amazing experience!! The guide was very kind, always ensuring our safety while keeping us entertained, which made me feel very secure and turned it into a truly moving experience.

In the clear blue sea, you can encounter Nemo and Dory!! Unfortunately, I didn’t meet Crush, but I look forward to that encounter next time.

They also provided a pleasant pick-up service to the hotel, and the guide's talk in the car was full of humor. They shared many recommendations for local restaurants, so getting the latest information directly from them is definitely better than relying on past SMS posts.

Thank you for the best experience, the handsome guide Ryunosuke!!

初シュノーケリングは石垣島でと思い立ち、この青の洞門シュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。ひとことで言うと当たりです！超最高体験です！！ガイドの方がとても優しくて、楽しませてくれながら、常に安全に気を配ってくれているので、とても安心して参加でき、最高に感動的な体験となりました。
青く澄んだ海の中で、あのニモやドリーに出逢えます！！残念ながら、クラッシュには逢えませんでしたが、次回の遭遇に期待です。
送迎もホテルまで快よくしてもらえて、車内でのガイドさんのトークもユーモアセンスがありありで、オススメ食べ物屋さんなども、沢山教えてくれるので、現地での生の最新情報が貰えるのは、過去の経験で書き込まれたSMS投稿で得るよりもありだと思います。
ガイドのイケメン龍之介くん、最高の体験をありがとう！！

I made a last-minute reservation for a canoe at Kabira Bay, and I was moved by its beauty beyond my imagination.

On the day of the trip, the weather was clear after the typhoon, and there were few people, which were great conditions. The other members of the group were friendly, and thanks to our cheerful and energetic guide, Yuuki, we were able to enjoy a wonderful time together.

Actually, even though my reservation was confirmed the night before, I received a call that it was fully booked for the morning and would be in the afternoon instead. There were also some misunderstandings about the meeting place, and I was feeling discouraged due to the high-pressure attitude of the phone receptionist. However, thanks to Yuuki and Kabira Bay, those feelings were blown away. Thank you! The night jungle tour was also fun, and I was able to enjoy a starry sky that felt like it was raining down.

I look forward to visiting Ishigaki Island again!

前夜に思い立って予約した川平湾のカヌー。想像以上の美しさに感動しました。
当日は台風後の晴れ、人も少ないという好条件。同じグループの人たちも穏やかで、元気で人懐っこい道産子ガイドのゆうきさんのおかげで和気あいあいと、贅沢な時間を楽しむことができました。

実は、前夜に予約確定してたのに当日の朝に満員だから午後にという連絡をもらい、その後も集合場所の勘違いなどがあり、高圧的な電話受付の方にテンションが下がって行きたくなくなっていたのですが、、、
ゆうきさんと川平湾のおかげで、そんな気持ちも吹き飛びました。ありがとう！夜のジャングルナイトツアーも楽しくて降ってくるような星空を満喫できましたよ。

また石垣島に行ったらよろしくお願いします！

It had been a while since I swam in the ocean, and I was quite tired, but the sea was so beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, which made me very satisfied! There was a little incident where my friend's fin came off, but we were able to keep going without stopping since we got a spare fin!

海で泳ぐのは久々で、かなり疲れたけど、すごく海が綺麗で沢山の魚を見ることができ大満足でした！
途中で友達のフィンが取れるハプニングがありましたが、変えのフィンを貰えたので止まることなく進めました！

I wanted to go to the Blue Cave, so I signed up for this tour, but for the past three weeks, due to issues with the waves and tide levels, we couldn't go, and it was changed to snorkeling at Shigira Beach.

It was disappointing, but the changed location of Shigira Beach had perfect facilities like the sea, food, and restrooms. Even after the typhoon, the water clarity was high, and it truly felt like a natural aquarium! The kids were also very satisfied. I'll save the Blue Cave for another opportunity.

After that, we moved to a different spot for my first experience with SUP, and the instructors were kind and warm, making it a lot of fun! Even after the tour ended and we parted ways, they kindly helped me with my private plans for the following days, and I plan to follow their advice tomorrow. Thank you, Kyoppi!

Also, one of the other instructors was from the same hometown, and we had a great time chatting about local niche topics. I hope you can reconcile with your dad soon (laughs).

Everyone, I highly recommend this tour!

青の洞窟に行きたくて、このツアーに申し込んだのですが、ここ3週間ほど波と潮位の問題で行けてないとのことで、シギラビーチのシュノーケリングに変更となりました。

残念でしたが、変更となったシギラビーチは海、食事、トイレなど設備が完璧に整ったビーチで、台風のあとでも海の透明度が高く、本当に自然の水族館のようでした！子どもたちも大満足でした。青の洞窟はまた次の機会に置いておきます。

その後、場所を少し移動してSUPの初体験をしたのですが、インストラクターの方々が親切で温かく、とても楽しめました！ツアーが終わって別れたあとも、翌日以降のプライベートの予定について親身に相談にのっていただき、明日は言われた通りに行動しようと思っています。きょっぴさん、ありがとうございました！

また、別のインストラクターの1人の方がピンポイントで地元がいっしょで、地元のマニアックな話で盛り上がり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。早くお父さんと仲直りできるといいですね(笑)

みなさん、オススメのツアーですよ！

As stated, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience incredibly enjoyable! They taught us various names of fish and took many wonderful photos! Swimming from Maeda Point allowed us to see plenty of fish along the way, and it was more fun than going by boat to the snorkeling spots! All the photos they took were beautiful and will be great memories. Some photos were available for a fee, but they kindly provided them for free via AirDrop! I will definitely rely on them again next time!

書いてある通り、とっても知識と遊び心のある親切丁寧なガイドさんですごく楽しかったです！
魚の名前もいろいろ教えてもらったり、素敵な写真もたくさん撮って下さいました！真栄田岬から泳いで連れて行ってくれるので、道中もたくさん魚が見れるし、船でシュノーケルスポットまで行くものよりも楽しかったです！
撮ってくださった写真がどれも素敵で、とっても思い出に残りました。
写真は有料のところもありましたが、こちらはエアドロップで無料で下さいました！
次回も絶対こちらでお世話になります！

The sea at Kabira Bay was calm and very beautiful. We were in a canoe, but the stand-up paddleboarding also looked interesting. If we have the chance to come again, I would like to have Sugichan as our guide again. Thank you, Sugichan!

川平湾の海は静かでとても綺麗でした。
我々はカヌーでしたが、SAPも面白そうでした。次回来る機会があったらガイドはまた杉ちゃんがいいです。
杉ちゃんありがとうございました!

My wife and I, both in our mid-50s, went snorkeling for the first time. At first, I was worried about being unable to breathe through the snorkel and having water enter the mask, wondering how far I could go. However, I gradually got used to it and became more relaxed, allowing me to enjoy the beautiful scenery underwater. The guide's advice was spot on, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Additionally, the stories about Miyako Island were fascinating, and I would like to visit Miyako Island next time. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

私も妻も50代半ばになって初めてのシュノーケリング。最初はシュノーケルをつけての口呼吸ができない、マスクの中に水が入るなどのトラブルが起きて、どこまで行けるかとても心配でした。
しかし、徐々に慣れてきて心にも余裕ができて海中の素敵な景色を見ることができました。
ガイドさんのアドバイスも的確で、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
また、宮古島についての話も興味深く、次回は宮古島へ行ってみたいと思います。
素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

The snorkeling, the phantom island, and the mangrove canoeing were all fantastic experiences. The instructor was very kind and took many photos for us. If I have the opportunity to come back to Ishigaki Island, I would definitely like to experience it again.

シュノーケル、幻の島、マンゴローブカヌーと楽しい時間をくださり最高でした。インストラクターのお兄さんもとても親切で写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。また、石垣島に来る機会があれば是非もう一度体験させていただきたいと思います。

The day before our reservation, a tsunami warning was issued, and the warning was not lifted on the day of our experience. However, since we were staying another day, we were able to reschedule and participate. Marine leisure activities inherently come with some risks, so I really appreciated that they provided an alternative plan instead of pushing through.

It was our first time snorkeling as a parent-child duo, but the guide taught us carefully, and we were able to enjoy it safely! We saw many beautiful fish in the clear sea, and we were very satisfied. We also took a lot of photos, which added to our travel memories. Thank you very much!

予約していた前日に津波注意報が発表され体験日も注意報が解除されなかったのですが、次の日も滞在していたこともあって日程を振り替えてもらい参加しました。多少なりとも危険を伴うのがマリンレジャーですから、強行突破せずに代替案をくださるのがとても好感を持てました。
親子共に初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださり安全に楽しめました！
透明度の高い海で綺麗な魚が沢山見れて大満足です。写真も沢山撮って頂き、旅の思い出が増えました。ありがとうございました！

Participated in the early morning tour. Despite being a popular spot during summer vacation, there were no other tour boats that day, and while there were some individuals visiting, it felt almost like a private tour. The tour's claims are definitely true!

I think early morning meet-ups can be tough while traveling, but the price is low, and it's definitely worth it.

早朝のツアー参加。
夏休み中にも関わらず、大人気の場所にも関わらず、当日他のツアー船も無く、個人で来てる方はいるけれども、まるで貸切状態。
ツアーの謳い文句に間違いなし！

旅先での早朝集合はキツイと思いますが、料金も安いし、その価値大アリです

The guide was very kind and attentive, and my second-grade son was able to enjoy his first snorkeling experience with peace of mind. They also took photos and videos with great taste, so we were able to keep them as family mementos. I highly recommend it!

　とても親切丁寧なガイドの方が対応してくださり、小学2年生の息子も安心して初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
　写真や動画もセンス良く撮影していただけたので、家族の記念写真として残せました^_^オススメですよ！

　
　

I had the impression that the Blue Cave would be crowded, so I had been avoiding it until now, but I wanted my children to experience it, so I participated this time.

On the day of the tour, there were many tour companies, but it seemed relatively uncrowded, and we were able to get into the sea right away from Maeda Cape.

Our tour guide, Mr. Kaneshiro, was very thorough in his explanations, kept the conversation lively, and was a master at creating mysterious rings. He also took a lot of photos for us.

Additionally, the restaurants he recommended were both very delicious! The food at COBY was especially amazing!

I highly recommend this tour company.

青の洞窟は混んでいるイメージがあって今まで敬遠していたのですが、子供達にも体験して欲しくて今回参加しました。
当日はたくさんのツアー会社がいましたが、比較的空いていたようで、眞栄田岬からはすぐに海に入れました。

ツアーを担当してくださった金城さんは、説明がとても丁寧で、たくさん話を盛り上げてくれて、謎の輪っかを作る達人でした。写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

また、お勧めしていただいた飲食店はどちらもとても美味しかったです！特にCOBY最高でした！

大変おすすめのツアー会社さんです。

The tour was barely held due to the impact of the tsunami. It seems that many companies canceled their tours, so it was very quiet and we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The Blue Cave was even more of an unknown world than it appeared in photos, and it was truly moving. During the fish feeding, a variety of fish came close, which was a bit scary but also really cute.

津波の影響でギリギリ催行されました。
ツアーが中止になった会社も多数あったようで
凄く空いていてゆっくり堪能できました。
写真で見ているより青の洞窟は未知の世界で感動しました。
魚の餌付けでは多種の魚が寄って来て怖いくらいでしたが凄く可愛かったです。

It was the first experience of snorkeling for the whole family. My 8-year-old child seemed anxious, but the staff member kindly spoke to us and engaged with us even underwater. His refreshing and gentle smile left a strong impression.

Due to the typhoon, it was cloudy and raining from the morning, but the underwater world felt like a different realm and was truly moving. While we were splashing around, he dove down to take photos and videos, which became wonderful keepsakes. The process was smooth and efficient, and I really liked it! I heard that diving is possible from the age of 10, so I would love to go again. Thank you for providing such a wonderful time this time. It became my best memory in Okinawa.

家族全員、シュノーケリングは初めての経験でした。
子供は8歳で不安そうにしてましたが、お兄さんが優しく声をかけてくださり、海の中でも話しかけてくれました。
爽やかで優しい笑顔が印象的でした。

台風の影響もあり、朝から曇天で雨が降ってくる中の体験でしたが、海の中は別世界で感動しました。
我々がワチャワチャしてる間に、下まで潜って写真や動画を取ってくださり、とてもいい記念になりました。
スムーズな進行で無駄がなく、とても気に入りました！
10歳からダイビングができると伺ったので、また行きたいです。
今回は本当に素敵な時間を過ごさせて頂き、ありがとうございました。
沖縄での1番の思い出になりました。

Due to the approaching typhoon, we couldn't go snorkeling, but we enjoyed the canoe experience! While canoeing, the staff was nearby, providing advice on paddling and assisting us when getting on and off the canoe, so I think even beginners can feel at ease. During our travels, they also recommended great places, and we had a wonderful time! I hope the weather will be nice enough for snorkeling next time..☆

台風が近付いていたため、シュノーケルはできず
カヌー体験のみでしたが楽しめました！
カヌーしている際もスタッフの方が近くで見てくれて
漕ぎ方のアドバイスや
カヌーに乗る時や降りるときも手助けしてくださるので
初心者の方でも安心してできると思います(^^)
移動中もおすすめのお店など教えていただき
楽しい時間を過ごせました！
次はシュノーケルも出来る天気になりますように・・☆

Due to strong winds, we did SUP on a different river instead of Kabira Bay. It was SUP while viewing the mangroves, but I would like to experience SUP at Kabira Bay as well. I was worried since it was my first time doing SUP, but thanks to the guide who taught us carefully, I was able to enjoy it without falling.

風が強かったため、川平湾ではなく別の川でのSUPでした。
マングローブを見ながらのSUPでしたが、川平湾でのSUPも体験してみたいです。
初めてのSUPで心配でしたが、ガイドの方から丁寧に教えていただけたため転ぶことなく楽しめました。

When I came to Ishigaki, I thought I had to go snorkeling, and even though I'm not a great swimmer, I had a wonderful time. The weather was sunny that day, and the beautiful location touched my heart. Once I dove in, I was healed by the stunning sea and the fish I kept watching, which led me to decide to extend my stay in Ishigaki, haha. It's high season, but if I could wish for anything, I would have liked a bit more time.

石垣に来たらやはりシュノーケリングをしないとと思い、あまり泳げない自分でも楽しい時間を過ごせました。
当日晴れていたのもあり、素敵なロケーションで心打たれ、さらに潜ると綺麗な海、魚達を眺め続ける事で心が癒され、石垣に延泊を決めました笑
ハイシーズンなのもありますが、欲を言えばもう少し時間が欲しいなと思いました。

On the day, the wind was strong, and I thought we might not be able to go snorkeling, but we were well guided all the way to the Blue Cave. The guide was very kind and not only taught us how to snorkel but also shared information about the types of fish, making for a very enjoyable time. I would like to use this service again when I visit Okinawa. Thank you very much.

当日風が強く、シュノーケリングができないかと思いましたが、青の洞窟までしっかりとガイドしていただきました。
ガイドのお兄さんがシュノーケリング方法だけではなく魚の種類を教えてくれたりとても親切で楽しい時間を過ごせました。また沖縄へ訪れた際は、こちらを利用したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Our blue cave snorkeling event was cancelled due to weather but they offered to take us to a shallow area near their shop where we saw tons of fish. The current was strong but the heavy duty life vest kept us afloat and our guide was right there with us, taking pictures, and also had a boogie board we could grab onto if we needed a rest. If we had more time, I would have rebooked the blue cave once the weather calmed down. Our guide was kind and helpful and the equipment was clean and in good condition. My son and I had a great time.

I tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time, and thanks to the guide who taught us carefully both on land and on the water, I was able to finish the tour safely and enjoyably! The scenery when I was paddleboarding in such a beautiful place is still fresh in my mind! The guide also shared information about restaurants and spots on Ishigaki Island while we were in the car, so it was a satisfying tour!

初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、ガイドさんが陸と水上で丁寧に教えてくれたので、楽しく安全にツアーを終えることができました！綺麗な場所でSUPした時の光景がまだ頭の中に残っています！
飲食店やスポットなど石垣島のことも車内の中で教えてくれたので、満足なツアーでした！

I participated in a snorkeling tour for the first time in Okinawa. At first, I was scared and anxious because I didn't know how to breathe, but thanks to the very kind support of the instructor, I gradually relaxed. The underwater scenery was truly beautiful, and I was able to experience feeding the fish. Before I knew it, time flew by, and it became such a fun experience that I thought, "I want to dive more!" Looking back now, I often murmur, "Snorkeling was so much fun, I want to go again."

The local instructor who guided us was a wonderful person who really felt like they loved Okinawa, summer, and the sea. Meeting them is also a great memory. I was grateful for the privilege of having a private instructor. I definitely want to request them again next time!

沖縄で初めてシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。最初は怖さもあり、呼吸の仕方**がわからずとても不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がとても親切にサポートしてくれたおかげで、だんだんとリラックスできました。海の中の景色は本当に美しく、餌付けなども体験でき、気づけば時間があっという間に過ぎ「もっと潜っていたい！」と思うほど楽しい体験になりました。今振り返っても、「シュノーケリング楽しかったなぁ、また行きたいなぁ」とつぶやいています。
今回担当してくださった地元出身のインストラクターは、本当に沖縄！夏！海が好きなんだなぁと感じる素敵な方で、その方と出会えたことも良い思い出です。貸切でインストラクターがつくという特権にも感謝でした。次回もぜひお願いしたいです！

It was my first time snorkeling in the ocean and stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves, but thanks to the friendly guide and my friends, I had a great time! Playing in the water felt wonderful, and I made many memorable memories. Thank you very much! I hope to have the opportunity to do it again!

海でシュノーケリングをしたりマングローブでSUPするのも初めてでしたが、優しいガイドさんや友達のおかげで楽しめました！
水で遊ぶの気持ちよかったし、心に残る思い出がたくさんできました。
ありがとうございました！また機会があればよろしくお願いします！
