All Reviews for Snorkeling

It was a very fulfilling tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Iriomote Island in just one day!

In the mangroves, our guide provided fun explanations about the plants and creatures, and we were able to relax while enjoying the scenery. The jungle views, which are not something we usually see, were truly moving.

On Yubu Island, the experience of crossing over in a water buffalo cart was refreshing, and we were soothed by the buffalo's pace. The island was filled with tropical plants, making for a very pleasant and leisurely stroll.

Our guide was also kind and took many photos, creating wonderful memories. I think this tour is perfect for those visiting Iriomote Island for the first time!

西表島らしい自然を1日で満喫できる、とても充実したツアーでした！

マングローブでは、ガイドさんが植物や生き物について楽しく説明してくださり、景色を楽しみながらゆったり過ごすことができました。普段見ることのできないジャングルの景色はとても感動的でした。

由布島では水牛車に乗って島へ渡る体験が新鮮で、水牛さんのペースに癒されました。島内は南国らしい植物がたくさんあり、のんびり散策できてとても気持ちよかったです。

ガイドさんも親切で、写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、素敵な思い出になりました。西表島を初めて訪れる方にもぴったりのツアーだと思います！

At the Blue Cave, the tide wasn't too high, so we were able to take a lot of photos both inside and outside the cave! Also, the guide's explanations were thorough, which made the experience enjoyable!

青の洞窟では、潮の高さがあまり高くなかったので、洞窟内、外両方でたくさん写真を撮っていただきました！
また、ガイドさんの説明も丁寧で楽しむことができました！

This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and it was my first time snorkeling. The guide was very reliable, which made me feel at ease, and I had a great time on the tour! Additionally, I learned a lot about various fish, making it a very satisfying experience! The coral was beautiful, and I got to see many different fish, which was amazing! 😁

今回は青の洞窟のシュノーケルツアー参加さして頂いたんですけど、初めてのシュノーケルで、ガイドさんがとても頼れる人で安心感があり楽しくツアーできました！
それにいろんな魚の知識を教えてもらい大満足のツアーになりました！
珊瑚もとても綺麗でいろんな魚もみれて最高でした😁

I took motion sickness medication before participating, but the sea was completely calm, so there were no issues at all. I was surprised that there were more foreign participants than locals.

Since people arrive at different times before departure, there was some waiting time, and there were few shaded seats. The gathering area was also designated, making the sunlight quite harsh.

Once we set sail, the breeze felt nice, and we reached the first snorkeling spot quickly, which was great. However, the distance to the first spot seems to vary by day, so we were lucky it was close.

We snorkeled three times for about 30 minutes each, and we saw plenty of coral, lots of fish, and even turtles. At one point, there was something floating on the surface (plankton?), which wasn't dirt, but it looked a bit gross.

At the end, we changed from our wetsuits to our own clothes inside the boat. Since we finished a little earlier than the other teams, there was no crowd for changing, which made it easier. The return trip was long, so it might not be crowded towards the end. Changing on the boat made the return smooth.

However, there were no shampoo facilities, so instead of sightseeing on Kokusai Street right away, I felt like going back to the hotel to take a shower and maybe take a short nap.

酔い止め飲んで参加したけど、ベタ凪で全く問題なかった。
外国人の参加のほうが多く驚いた。
出港までは他の人がバラバラ到着するので、待ち時間があって、日陰の席も少ないし、集まるところも指定されるので、日差しが辛かった。

出港したら風も気持ちいいし、最初のポイントまでもすぐだったので、とても良かった。
ただ最初のポイントまでの距離はその日によって違うようなので、近くてラッキー。

30分ずつくらい3回シュノーケリングして、サンゴもたくさんの魚も亀も観れた。
途中水面に何が（プランクトン？）汚れじゃないらしけど、浮かんでるあたりはちょっと気持ち悪かった。
最後は船の中でウェットスーツから自分の服に着替えるが、ほかのチームより少しだけ早く終えると、着替えが混んでなくて楽だった。帰りの時間は長いので、最後の方でも混んでないかも。船のなかで着替えることで、帰りもスムーズ。
ただし、シャンプーとかあるわけではないので、そのまま国際通りへ観光というよりは、ホテルに戻ってシャワーを浴び直して、ちょっと昼寝したくなる。

I participated without being able to swim at all, but it was fine since I just wore a jacket and floated on the surface. I was able to see the whale shark much closer than I imagined, and it was truly impressive. The guide was also kind, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling experience!

全く泳げずでの参加でしたが、ジャケットを着て水面に浮かんでいるだけだったので大丈夫でした。
ジンベエザメも想像よりずっと近くで見ることができ、迫力満点でした。ガイドさんも親切で、とても充実した時間になりました！！

Among the many tours available for those up to 65 years old, this tour allowed me, at 66, to kayak to Ida Beach and also go snorkeling. Both kayaking and snorkeling were my first experiences, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, which made me feel at ease.

Ida Beach is beautiful, but the surrounding emerald green sea is truly breathtaking. The experience of kayaking through it was the best.

Thank you for this precious experience and the wonderful emotions.

６５歳までのツアーが多い中、このツアーでは６６歳の私でもイダの浜までカヤックで行けてシュノーケリングもできました。カヤックもシュノーケリングも初体験ですがガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれて安心です。
イダの浜も綺麗ですが、その周囲のエメラルドグリーンの海は感動です。その中をカヤックで進む体験は最高でした。
貴重な経験と感動、ありがとうございました。

It was my first experience snorkeling, and the staff were friendly. I was blessed with the best conditions (calm, warm, and clear sea), and it was absolutely amazing!

シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、スタッフも親切で、最高のコンディション（穏やかで、暖かで、透き通った海)にも恵まれ、サイコーによかったです！

Unlike other tour companies, I booked here because they offered free pick-up, wetsuits, photo shooting, and towels. When I looked at the reviews, I noticed there were foreign guests, which made me a bit worried about my belongings, but on the day I participated, the Japanese and foreign guests were on separate boats. Additionally, they asked at the very first reception if I wanted to store my valuables, which was reassuring. It was a snorkeling tour with a small group plus a guide, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. They also provided explanations about the corals and fish, making it a fulfilling tour. I definitely want to use this tour again for snorkeling.

他のツアー会社と違い、無料で送迎、ウエットスーツ、写真撮影、タオルが付いていたのでこちらで予約しました。口コミを見ると外国の方もいるようだったので、荷物等心配かなと思いましたが、私が参加した日は日本人と外国の方は別の船でした。また、貴重品を預かるか一番最初の受付で聞いて下さり安心でした。少人数のグループ➕ガイドさんでのシュノーケルでしたが、海はとても綺麗でしたし、サンゴや魚の説明などもしてくれて充実のツアーでした。ぜひまたこのツアーを利用してシュノーケルをしたいです。

The snorkeling was of course fun, and the sea was beautiful. Sakura, who was in charge, not only explained about the fish and the blue cave but also shared various recommendations for restaurants, making the travel time enjoyable as well!

シュノーケルはもちろん楽しかったし、海も綺麗でした。担当してくださったさくらさんは魚や青の洞窟の説明だけでなく、おすすめのご飯屋さんなど色々な話をしてくださり、移動時間も楽しく過ごせたのがよかったです！

There were a lot of people, but the weather was nice, and I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea of Miyako! I was satisfied to meet sea turtles and Nemo♪ I learned a lot about the ocean and its creatures from my instructor Mana, which was also educational!!

人は多かったですが、天気も良く宮古の綺麗な海を満喫出来ました！ウミガメ、ニモにも会えて満足です♪インストラクターのまなさんに海のこと、生き物のこと色々教えてもらえて勉強にもなりました！！

This time, we participated as a family of four, including our two adult children. It was our third snorkeling experience, and it was the second time we saw sea turtles. We were lucky enough to encounter four turtles in the clear waters of Miyako Island. Watching them munch on seaweed and come up to the surface for air was incredibly adorable, and we could have watched them forever. Our guide, Soutarou, was funny and kind, sharing a lot of interesting facts about the ocean and various topics, which was very educational. Thank you for recommending some great places to eat in Miyako Island as well. The next day, we visited the ocean on Okinawa Island and went swimming, but we kept saying that Miyako Island was the best we've ever experienced. We would love to use this tour again when we visit Miyako Island for snorkeling in the future. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

今回、成人した子供２人と、夫婦の４人で参加をさせて頂きました。シュノーケル経験は、3回目。ウミガメを見たのは、2回目でしたが、宮古島の澄んだ海と、ウミガメも4匹運良く会えました。海藻をパクパク食べて、水上に顔を出し、息継ぎをしている姿がとても愛らしかったので、ずっと見ていられました。案内してくださった、そうたろうさんは、面白く、優しく、海や、話の雑学を沢山して頂き、勉強になりました。宮古島のおすすめのお店も教えて頂きありがとうございました。翌日は、沖縄本島の海を見たり海水浴をしましたが、やっぱり宮古島が過去一だねって、ずっと話していました。またいつか、宮古島へ行き、シュノーケルする際は、こちらのツアーを利用させて頂きたいです。
最高な、思い出をありがとうございました。

It was my first time diving, but I was taught carefully, which made me feel safe and enjoy the experience. The response to my pre-visit inquiries was quick, and the service was kind. On the way back, I was able to see a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful memory.

初めてのダイビングでしたが、丁寧に教えていただき安心して楽しめました。
事前連絡の返信も早く、対応も親切でした。帰りにはウミガメも見ることができ、とても良い思い出になりました。

It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but the weather was great and the three locations offered completely different views, which was nice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any sea turtles this time. There were many participants, but the staff provided support while paying attention to safety.

久々のシュノーケリングでしたが、天気もよく3箇所全く違う景色で良かったです
今回はウミガメを見ることができなかったので残念です
参加者が多かったですがスタッフも安全に注意を払いながらサポートしてくれました

On the day of the event, it was rainy and windy, so I thought it might be canceled, but I was glad it went ahead! I participated at the earliest time, but perhaps due to the bad weather, we were the only ones there. My daughter was scared because she can't swim, but Manachan stayed by her side, reassuring her with phrases like, "It's okay, just relax."

The water was murky, but we had fun seeing various things like fish, coral, and sea snakes. At one point, my daughter's tooth fell out, and she panicked, but the adults burst into laughter, making it a memorable snorkeling experience! I was also thrilled to meet the sea turtle I had been wanting to see.

Since the weather was unfortunate, I would like to come back to Miyako Island for a rematch. I hope to see you again then! I was also happy to meet Yamachan, the sea turtle brother I followed on Instagram!

参加当日は雨と風が強かったので中止になるかと思ったら催行してもらえて良かったです！
一番早い時間で参加しましたが、悪天候だったからなのか私達のみしか人はいませんでした。娘は泳げないのでビビッていましたが、浮き輪につかまった娘にまなちゃんがずっと傍で“大丈夫だよー。安心してね”など声掛けをしてくれていました。
海の中は濁っていましたが魚にサンゴ・ウミヘビなど色々見れて楽しかったです。途中、娘の歯が抜けて本人はパニックってましたが大人達は大爆笑でメチャクチャ記憶に残るシュノーケルになりました☆会いたかったウミガメにも会えて感激しました。
あいにくの天候だったのでまたリベンジしに宮古島へ来たいと思います。その時はまたよろしくお願いします！あとインスタフォローしてた海亀兄弟の山ちゃんにも会えて嬉しかったです☆

The weather was nice, and the sea was calm, which felt great. The guide constantly checked on our condition, which made us feel very safe. It was great that they led us even though I couldn't swim. I was able to spend time pleasantly with the other participants in the tour, and it truly became a wonderful experience. Thank you very much!

天気も良く海も穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが始終、私達の状態を見てくれて、とても安心出来ました。泳げなくてもずっと引率してくれてよかったです。
ツアーの参加した他の方々とも雰囲気よく時間過ごせて、本当に素敵な体験になりました。ありがとうございました！

I was happy to see sea turtles in their natural habitat in the ocean♥️ The turtles were sleeping, but next time I want to see them swimming🫶

海亀は自然な生き物のため海で見ることができて幸せでした♥️
亀さんは眠っていましたが、次回は泳いでいる亀さんに会いたいです🫶

I experienced snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)!

During snorkeling, I was able to observe various fish in the clear waters. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but it was still a very meaningful time.

For SUP, I enjoyed it in a beautiful spot where the sky and sea were stunning. I really felt the joy of SUP!

The instructor, Ayu, was very friendly and easy to talk to, which was great. There were some waves, but she checked on my condition here and there, making it a safe experience even for beginners!

Additionally, they took beautiful photos and provided the data for free, creating wonderful memories.

シュノーケルとSUPを体験しました！
シュノーケルでは、透明度が高い海でさまざまな魚を観察することができました。
残念なことにウミガメには会えませんでしたが、とても有意義な時間になりました。
SUPでは空と海が綺麗な場所で気持ちよくできました。SUPの楽しさを感じることができました！！
インストラクターのあゆちゃんは気さくに話してくださりとてもよかったです。
波がくるときもありましたが、ところどころで体調も心配してくださり、初心者でも安心して体験できます！
まだ、写真もきれいにとっていただき、データ無料でくれるのでとてもいい思い出になりました。

I had a reservation for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to the typhoon, it was changed to canoeing in the mangrove river. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. It started pouring rain along the way, but that was fun in its own way.

青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予約していましたが台風の影響でマングローブの川でカヌーに変更になりました。ガイドさんはいろいろ説明してくれて親切でした。途中で土砂降りになりましたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。

I enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave beach and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the mangrove river. The guides were very kind and taught us well. I was able to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was my first experience with SUP, but I managed to stand up and paddle. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

青の洞窟の海岸でシュノーケルとマングローブの川でSUPを楽しみました。ガイドの方達はとても親切に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルではキレイな魚を見れました。
SUPは初体験でしたが、なんとか立って漕ぐことができました。良い経験をさせていただいて、ありがとうございました。

Thank you for your consideration; I had a wonderful experience! I was able to take many photos, creating lots of memories! I would love to participate again when I visit Miyako Island! ☆

気にかけて下さり、楽しく体験ができました！
写真も沢山とっていただけて、思い出が沢山出来ました！
また宮古島に来た際は参加したいです☆

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour. Both activities took place in the rain, but the timing for the SUP was particularly heavy downpour. However, thanks to the guide's thorough lectures and explanations, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!

シュノーケリングとサップのツアーに参加させていただきました。
両方とも雨天の中の催行でしたが、特にサップのタイミングはなかなかの土砂降り。
でも、ガイドさんの丁寧なレクチャーと説明で、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました！

After entering the Blue Cave, I went snorkeling over the coral. The weather was nice, and the Blue Cave looked beautiful, which was great.

青の洞窟の中に入ったあと、珊瑚の上をシュノーケリングしました。天気も良く、青の洞窟が綺麗に見えて、良かったです。

Even in the rain, the mangrove canoeing became the best memory! 🛶☔️ Paddling in sync with my friends, I felt excited every time we passed through the mangrove tunnels! It felt just like being part of an expedition.

During the blue cave snorkeling, the sun miraculously came out, and it was so moving! ✨ I was able to see the coral reefs and cute fish up close, and I truly had a wonderful time. 🐠💙

It ended in the blink of an eye, and I had so much fun that I thought, "I want to swim more!" 🏝️

雨でも最高の思い出になったマングローブカヌー🛶☔️
友達と息を合わせて漕ぎ、マングローブのトンネルを抜けるたびにワクワク！まるで探検隊になった気分でした。

青の洞窟シュノーケルでは、奇跡的に太陽が出てくれて感動✨
珊瑚礁や可愛い魚たちを間近で見ることができて、本当に幸せな時間を過ごすことができました🐠💙

あっという間に終わってしまって、「もっと泳いでいたい！」と思うほど楽しかったです🏝️

The guide's extensive knowledge and the recent sighting of sea turtles made for a wonderful memory! Thank you!

ガイドさんのたくさんの知識と、直近でウミガメが見れてとてもいい思い出になりました！ありがとうございます！

I participated in snorkeling for the first time, and I was able to enjoy it without any worries because I received thorough instructions! The Blue Cave was beautiful, and there were plenty of fish and stunning corals further out! If you're going to snorkel in Ishigaki, I highly recommend this tour!

初めてシュノーケル参加させていだだいたんですが丁寧にレクチャーしてもらったので不安なく楽しめました！青の洞窟も綺麗で沖の方は魚もいっぱいいてサンゴもとても綺麗でした！石垣でシュノーケルするならこのツアーとてもおすすめです！

We participated with three people, including a child✨. We were able to swim with turtles, and most importantly, the child was very happy❤️. The instructor, Kouki, was very polite and kind, which was fantastic👏👏. Thank you, Takahashi-san, for teaching us various things✨✨😊. I will definitely make a reservation with Veltra again next year😇.

子供と３人での参加でした✨
亀とも泳げ、何より子供が喜んでました❤️
インストラクターのこうき君もとっても丁寧で優しく最高でした👏👏
高橋さんにも色々教えて頂きありがとう御座いました✨✨😊
又是非来年もベルトラさんで予約します😇

First time snorkeling in my 50s 🤿
The blue sky and crystal-clear sea of Kerama were absolutely stunning. I dove at three different spots and even got to swim with sea turtles, which was amazing.

Thank you so much to Captain and Goto-san, who took care of our team.

I was able to enjoy the ocean with peace of mind, and it turned out to be a wonderful trip.
I would definitely like to request your services again when I visit Okinawa next time.

50代で人生初めてのシュノーケル🤿
慶良間の青い空と透明度の高い海、素晴らしい景色、3ヶ所のポイントで潜りましたが、ウミガメとも泳げて最高でした。

船長さんをはじめ、私たちのチームを担当してくださった後藤さん、本当にありがとうございました。

安心して海を楽しむことができ、とてもいい旅になりました。
また沖縄に行く時は、ぜひお願いしたいです。

It was disappointing that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to poor sea conditions, but instead, we participated in snorkeling at Shigira Bay! During the snorkeling, A-chan taught us about the spots and the creatures in Shigira Bay, which was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed being able to see sea turtles and clownfish, and it was a great experience to take pictures with them! As my first snorkeling experience in Miyako Island, it was a wonderful time. Thank you again for being our guide! 🙇‍♂️

海況不良により青の洞窟には行くことができず残念でしたが、代わりにシギラベイでのシュノーケリングに参加させていただきました！
シュノーケリング中は、あーちゃんさんがシギラベイのスポットや生き物たちについて教えてくださり、大変楽しかったです。
特に、ウミガメやカクレクマノミを見ることができ、さらには一緒に写真を撮ってもらうことができたことは良い経験になりました！初めての宮古島でのシュノーケリングとして、素敵な体験ができました。
改めて、ガイドしていただきありがとうございました🙇‍♂️

I was truly surprised by how attentive the staff were. My 10-year-old daughter kept saying it was the best part of our trip to Okinawa because everyone was so kind to her. A friend is coming to Okinawa in July, so I plan to introduce them. Thank you so much!

本当に気配りの出来るスタッフばっかりで驚きました。10歳の娘は、みんなから可愛がってもらって沖縄旅で一番良かったと何度も言うてます。7月に連れが沖縄に来るので紹介しようと思います。本当にありがとうございました！

Snorkeling in the beautiful sea was amazing! There were so many fish underwater, and just watching them made the time fly by. The guide provided a lot of explanations about the fish and more, allowing me to learn a lot about Ishigaki Island. It was so much fun!

とても綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングは最高でした！
海の中にたくさんの魚がいて、その魚たちを見ているだけであっという間に時間が過ぎました。
ガイドさんが魚などの解説をたくさんしてくださり、石垣島について詳しくなることができました。
とっても楽しかったです。
