All Reviews for Snorkeling

We explored coral and sea turtles near Nugan Island, about a 30-minute trip from Naha. The beautiful sea and tropical fish provided a wonderful experience, and the kids were very excited. The turtles were resting quite deep and weren't moving, so if you're expecting large sea turtles like in Hawaii, it might be a bit different, but we were able to see them. The staff was kind and it was very good overall.

It might have been a special day with some swells on the water after the typhoon, but out of about 50 people on board, around 35 were suffering from seasickness, and several were vomiting, making the boat a bit chaotic. Some people even had to give up on the planned activities. It's advisable to take anti-nausea medication and be careful with meals beforehand.

那覇から30分くらい移動した、ヌガンヌ島の近くで珊瑚と海亀探検をしました。美しい海と熱帯魚は素晴らしい経験になり、子供も大興奮。亀はけっこう深いところで寝ていて動いておらず、ハワイのような大きな海亀を期待すると少し違いますが、見ることができました。スタッフさんも親切でとても良かったです。
台風明けでやや海面にうねりがあるなか特殊な日であったかもしれませんが、全体の50名いた中で35名くらいは船酔いで苦しんでおり、何名も吐いていて船上はややカオスで予定していたアクティビティを断念していた人もいました。酔い止めの薬や、事前の食事には気をつけた方がいいです。

I participated in snorkeling for the first time with a friend.

We traveled by boat to the diving spot, and there were about 20 to 30 participants for both the snorkeling and diving experiences, which made the boarding and wetsuit instructions quite hectic, haha.

The explanation for snorkeling was thorough, and the instructor pulled a kickboard to help beginners keep up, so I was able to enjoy observing the underwater world with peace of mind! During the break, I also had a nice chat with another solo participant, which was a memorable part of the trip.

I was able to fully enjoy the corals and fish underwater, as well as the unique scenery of Okinawa, making it a wonderful memory.

シュノーケリング初めての友人と二人で参加してきました。

ダイビングスポットまでは船で移動するのですが、
シュノーケリング体験とダイビング体験の参加者、合わせて２〜３０名ぐらいが一緒に参加するスタイルでした。
そのため乗船やウェットスーツ着用の指示が結構バタバタしていました　笑

シュノーケルの説明は丁寧でしたし、初心者でもついてこられるよう
インストラクターの方がビート板を引っ張ってくれたので
安心して海中観察を楽しめました！
また休憩時間には一人参加者の方とお喋りするなど
旅先の交流も楽しめたのが印象的でした。

海中のサンゴや魚の様子、沖縄ならではの景色を堪能できて
とてもいい思い出になりました。

After the typhoon passed, I was told in advance that the waves were high and we might not be able to go to Kerama, but somehow we were able to go. The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I finally got to see a sea turtle, which I hadn't encountered on any other tours. It was the best moment! The instructors were all wonderful people, and I could feel their love for the ocean. I'm really glad I participated.

台風が去ったあとで、波が高いので慶良間まで行けないかもと事前にいわれましたが、なんとか連れて行ってもらえました。
海は最高に綺麗で、どこのツアーに参加してもなかなか出会えなかったウミガメにようやく出会うことができて最高のひとときでした！
インストラクターも皆素敵な人たちでしたし、海を大切にしているのを感じました。
参加してよかったです。

The drink service was flashy, but it was just water. I couldn't take a proper shower. In the photos, it's hard to tell which one is me. Well, at least I was able to do it safely, so that's good.

ドリンクサービスと派手にあったが水のみ。
シャワーも十分にはできず。
写真は、どれが自分か判然とせず。
まぁでも安全にできたからいいか、です

I have gone boat snorkeling in Okinawa several times, but this was the first time I encountered a sea turtle! I had a great time with a friendly guide.

何度か沖縄でボートシュノーケルしましたが初めてウミガメに会えました！親切なガイドさんと楽しく過ごせました

The ferry ride was quite long, and everyone, including us, was exhausted on the way there. However, seeing the sea of Tokashiki completely blew away that fatigue. Many of the instructors were very kind, and we had a meaningful time. The sea of Tokashiki is the best! I'm glad we did our first beach outing and snorkeling here!

高速船での移動はなかなかの長時間で、行きは私たち含めて皆さんがヘトヘトになっていましたが、
渡嘉敷の海を見て、そんな疲れもすっかり吹き飛んでしまいました。
インストラクターの方々もとても親切な方が多く、有意義な時間を過ごせました。
渡嘉敷の海は最高です！
初めの海水浴、そしてシュノーケリングがここで良かったです❗️

I had my first scuba diving experience. The guides were kind and taught us well, which made me feel at ease. As an older man, I find that I don't get to experience many exciting moments in my daily life, but this scuba diving experience truly moved me and lifted my spirits. For those who are interested but have never tried it, I highly recommend this tour. The price is reasonable, but the experience is worth much more. I would love to participate again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

初めてのスキューバやらせて頂きました。
ガイドの方々が優しく教えてくれたので安心でした。
自分はオッサンで普段の生活ではなかなか感動することって減って来ていましたが、今回のスキューバは本当に感動してテンション上がりました。興味はあるけどやったことない方は是非こちらのツアーで体験して頂きたい。
値段はそこそこかかりますが、値段以上の感動があります。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I participated alone, but it was incredibly fun!
The weather was uncertain, and I was informed the day before that the waves might be high, but we were able to safely reach Kerama.
I am grateful to all the staff♪
It was my first snorkeling experience, and they taught me carefully, so I was able to enjoy it.
If I have the opportunity again, I would definitely like to go.

一人で参加しましたけど最高に楽しかったです！
この日は天気が危ぶまれ波も高いかもと前日にお知らせがありましたが
無事に慶良間まで行くことができました。
スタッフの皆様に感謝♪
初めてのシュノーケリング体験でしたが丁寧に教えてくれたので楽しむことが出来ました。
また機会がありましたら是非行ってみたいです。

This was my first trip to Okinawa, just my son and me. I was worried about the weather, but we made some wonderful memories. My son also had his first snorkeling experience, which turned out to be amazing. He really enjoyed jumping into the sea from the slide on the boat and did it multiple times. The staff were very kind, and I felt safe while snorkeling. I accidentally left something behind, but they kindly helped me with that, which I truly appreciated. Thank you for your support! I will definitely use your services again when I visit Okinawa!

　初めての沖縄、息子と2人旅行でした。天気が心配でしたが とても楽しい思い出ができました。　息子も初めてのシュノーケリング、最高の経験になりました。
船から滑り台で海へ飛び込むのもとても楽しかったそうで、何度もやらせてもらいました。
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で、安心してシュノーケリングができました。
　私の不注意で忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、それにも親切に対応して頂き本当に有り難かったです。お世話になりました、ありがとうございました！
また沖縄に行った際には是非利用させて頂きます！

Due to the typhoon, I could only visit two places, but I was still very satisfied! I can't swim, so I stayed close to the diver, who took photos of the clownfish up close with my smartphone and taught me a lot about the fish. Next time, I want to participate when the weather is stable! ^ ^

台風の影響で2か所しか回れませんでしたが、それでも大満足でした！
私は泳げないのでずっとダイバーさんの近くにいましたが、私のスマホでクマノミを近くから撮影してきてくれたり、魚のことをたくさん教えていただきました。
次は天候が安定している時に参加したいです^ ^

My first trip to Miyako Island. Due to the typhoon, we couldn't get into the sea for a while, but I wanted to fulfill my children's dream of seeing a sea turtle, so I signed up during our trip. Although the typhoon had passed, the waves were still high, and I was worried we might not see any sea turtles. However, the staff worked hard to find them, and I was so happy that we got to take pictures! The staff was very safety-conscious and provided careful instruction even for beginners, which made me feel reassured. Thank you very much!

初めての宮古島旅行。台風の影響でなかなか海に入れず、でも子供たちのウミガメに会いたいという夢は叶えてあげたい！と旅行中に申し込みました。
台風が逸れたとは言え波は高く、ウミガメに会えないかもと不安でしたが、お兄さんが一生懸命探してくれて見つかり、写真も撮れて嬉しかったです！
スタッフの方はすごく安全に配慮してくださり、初心者でも丁寧に教えてれるので親切で安心しました！ありがとうございました♪

We participated as a family of five, including our youngest child who is six years old. We encountered sea turtles right away. During the two hours, we were able to see about five or six of them. When we met a sea turtle, we were allowed to observe it closely for as long as we wanted, making the slow passage of time very precious.

Not only did we get to see the sea turtles, but we also enjoyed looking at corals and tropical fish at our leisure. This location is shallow and relatively small, so we felt no anxiety and it was very comfortable.

Our youngest had never gone snorkeling before, but they had no problems and enjoyed it thoroughly. During the transitions, the tour guide pulled us along, allowing us to safely watch the sea turtles. The explanations from the tour guide were clear and helpful.

Additionally, they focused on helping our family take natural photos with the sea turtles. Thanks to them, we got some wonderful pictures. The two hours flew by.

Thanks to this experience, I now have memories that make me want to visit Miyako Island again. Thank you very much!

末っ子6歳の子を含む5人家族で参加しました。
ウミガメにはすぐに遭遇。2時間の中で、5,6匹は会えました。ウミガメに会えると、満足いくまで帯同しながら観察させてもらえるので、ゆっくり流れる時間がとても貴重でした。
ウミガメだけでなく、サンゴや熱帯魚も好きなように見ることできました。こちらの場所は浅くて比較的狭いエリアで完結できるので不安もなく、とても快適でした。
末っ子はシュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、全く問題なく楽しんでました。移動時はツアーの方が引っ張ってくれるので、安心してウミガメを眺めることができました。
ツアーの方の説明はわかりやすくてよかったです。
また、家族が自然体でウミガメとの写真を撮れるよう注力してくれます。お陰で素敵な写真をいただきました。
あっという間の2時間でした。
おかげさまで、宮古島にまた行きたくなる思い出ができました。ありがとうございました

We went snorkeling with our 9-year-old and 2-year-old. It was our first time, but thanks to the staff's kind and thorough explanations and support, we had a great time. At first, the kids were scared, but they really enjoyed feeding the colorful fish in the beautiful sea. The shop was also close to the ocean. It was helpful that we received the photos taken as digital files.

9歳、2歳の子連れでシュノーケリングをしました。初めてでしたが、スタッフの方の丁寧親切な説明とサポートのおかげでとても楽しめました。はじめは怖がっていた子供達も、きれいな海でカラフルな魚に餌をあげたりしてとても楽しんでいました。
ショップから海までも近かったです。
撮ってもらった写真はデータで貰えるので助かりました。

I signed up with my wife and our 6-year-old beginner child. The guide was very polite and infused with humor, making it a lot of fun. A sea turtle even came right up to us, and we got great photos. I wholeheartedly recommend this for beginners and families with children!

妻、子供(6歳)の初心者3人で申し込みました。
丁寧且つユーモアを交えたガイドで非常に楽しかったです。
ウミガメも目の前まで来てくれて記念写真もバッチリ。
初心者の方や、子供連れには無条件でおすすめします！

家族連れて初めての宮古島
ウミガメと出会って、子供達も大喜びでした。
サンゴ礁に色んな綺麗な熱帯魚もいて、大満足

Guide Mr. Kaneshiro was very kind and taught my daughter a lot in a very polite manner. There were an incredible number of fish, and the Blue Cave was beautiful. It had been closed until the day before, so we were lucky to get in at just the right time.

ガイドの金城さんが娘にもとても丁寧に優しく
いろいろ教えてくれて
魚もめちゃくちゃ多くて
青の洞窟も綺麗でした
前の日まで閉鎖でピンポイントで入れて
ラッキーでした

I have done snorkeling many times, but the explanation on how to wear the underwater mask and other equipment was more thorough and easier to understand than any tour I have participated in before. I highly recommend that beginners join a tour from this shop first.

The snorkeling took place at a point where the waves were calm and there were plenty of fish to see, so I think families with small children could enjoy it without worry. Of course, I, as an adult, had a great time as well.

The staff were all cheerful and friendly, and if I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again.

シュノーケルは何度もやっていますが、これまでに参加したどのツアーより、水中マスクなどの付け方の説明が丁寧で、わかりやすかったです。シュノーケル初心者の方はまず、このショップのツアーに参加することをお勧めします。
波が穏やかで、魚がたくさん見られるポイントでのシュノーケルだったので、小さなお子様連れの方も安心して楽しめたのではないかと思います。もちろん、大人の私も思う存分楽しめました。
スタッフの方は明るくて気さくな方ばかりで、機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいです。

We had to change our plans to a half-day diving and snorkeling tour due to Typhoon No. 5 approaching. Even with the sudden change, they responded quickly, and we were able to see the beautiful waters of Okinawa, which made both my child and me very satisfied. When I asked my child what was the most fun part of this trip, they said it was seeing the beautiful sea while snorkeling. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to visit the wonderful waters of Kerama. This was my second time diving in Kerama after 30 years, but both times I couldn't go because of the typhoon. I definitely want to visit the waters of Kerama again when I come back to Okinawa.

台風5号が近づいて急遽半日体験ダイビングとスノーケルのツアーに変更した。
急な変更も、素早く対応して頂き、綺麗な沖縄の海を見れて、私も子供も大満足でした。
今回の旅行で、何が1番楽しかったかと子供に聞いたら、綺麗な海をスノーケルで見れた事と言っていました。
欲を言えば慶良間の素敵な海に行きたかった。
今回30年ぶりの沖縄で、2回目の慶良間でのダイビングを希望して2回とも台風でかなわなかった。
また、沖縄旅行に来た時は是非慶良間の海を訪れたいです。

I went on a trial diving experience on July 25, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were kind and provided detailed instructions. I would love to try it again when I come back to Okinawa!

It seems there are no Korean staff, but they conduct the sessions in English as well! Just a heads up :)

７月２５日に体験ダイビングをしたんですが、
すごく素敵な経験でした！
スタッフさんたちも親切で詳しい教えてくれました。
また沖縄に来たらもう一度やってみたいです^^

한국인 스텝은 안 계신 것 같은데 영어로도 진행하시네요! 참고하세요:)

I participated in a tour with my mother and my 6-year-old child starting at 7 AM. On this day, it was just the three of us, which felt like a private tour. The guide explained the snorkeling instructions in a way that was easy for my child to understand, and during snorkeling, he kindly adjusted my child's goggles multiple times. He was always attentive to my child, who had trouble relaxing in the water, and was quick to respond to any issues. He was a kind and very caring guide.

The snorkeling spot was close to the parking lot, so we didn't get tired.

The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and the fish were adorable. Both my child and I were very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. I was also happy that we got to take a lot of photos.

母と6歳の子どもと一緒に朝7時〜のツアーで参加。
この日は私達親子の貸切状態でした。
シュノーケル前の説明を分かりやすく子どもにもして下さったのと、シュノーケリング中に何度も子どものゴーグルなどを直してくださったり、シュノーケリング中になかなか力を抜く事の出来なかった子どもを常に気にかけて何かあればすぐに対処して下さった、優しくてとても面倒見の良いガイドのお兄さんでした。

シュノーケリング場所まで駐車場から近く疲れませんでした。

青の洞窟はとっても綺麗で魚も可愛かったです。
子どもも私も満足なシュノーケリングでした。
写真も沢山撮っていただいて嬉しかったです。

The instructor was friendly and explained things well. The children said they were glad to have this person. I'm satisfied to have such an extraordinary experience at this price.

インストラクターの方は、気さくで説明が上手いです。子供たちは、この人で良かったと言っていました。
非日常の体験がこの価格ででき、満足です。

We participated in this trip as a family with children. I was a bit anxious since we weren't used to the ocean, but the staff guided us carefully, allowing us to swim with peace of mind! Additionally, my fifth-grade child got seasick, but the staff responded flexibly, and in the end, our whole family was able to take pictures with a sea turtle! Thank you for the wonderful memories! ^_^

子連れの家族旅行で参加させていただきました。
海に慣れていないため不安がありましたが、スタッフさんが丁寧に誘導してくださり安心して泳ぐことができました！
また、小5の子どもが波酔いをしてしまいましたが、臨機応変に対応くださり最終的には家族全員でウミガメと写真を撮ることができました！
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました^⁠^

I was able to meet a sea turtle this time! After entering the sea and receiving a brief lecture, we set off right away. I was able to see the sea turtle sooner than I expected (about 15 minutes after entering the water). It seemed to be accustomed to humans, allowing us to observe it slowly. It even came closer when we approached. Our guide, Kometchi, was lively and friendly, which was great. I was a bit anxious because I had experienced seasickness while snorkeling before, but he reassured me, saying, "Don't worry. If it seems like you're not okay, I'll take you back to land." Since I was able to see the sea turtle, I was allowed to return after about half the scheduled time. He took me back to shore and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get back safely," which I really appreciated. It was a kind gesture, and it became a wonderful memory.

(This time, it was a tour of the morning market at Shinjo Coast, but the parking lot was very crowded. I was able to park because it was the morning market, but arriving early is essential.)

今回ウミガメに会えました!
海に入り簡単なレクチャーを受けてすぐに出発。思っていたよりはすぐにウミガメに会えました(海に入り15分位)。人間に慣れているのかゆっくり見られます。近付いても来てくれます。担当のコメッチさんは元気で気さくな配慮のある人で良かったです。私はシュノーケリングで海酔いした経験もあるので不安でしたが「大丈夫。ダメそうだったら途中で陸まで送り届けます」と言ってくれて出発。ウミガメに会えたので予定の半分位の時間で私だけ引き返させてもらいました。陸まで送り届けてもらい「お子さん、ちゃんと見ますね」と言ってくれ、とてもありがたかったです。親切な対応でとても良い思い出になりました。
(今回は新城海岸の朝市のツアーでしたが駐車場がとても混んでいます。私は朝市なので停められましたが。早目の行動が必須です。)

The instructor was a kind young man, and even though we were clumsy, we were able to experience it without any anxiety! I was surprised that he took dozens of photos for us. I was also happy that he shared some interesting trivia! I was very satisfied. If there’s another opportunity, I would love to ask for his help again!

優しいインストラクターのお兄さんで、要領が悪い私たちでも不安なく体験できました！
写真も数十枚撮ってくださっていて、びっくりしました。
豆知識とかも教えてくださり嬉しかったです！
大満足でした。
次機会があれば、またお願いしたいです！

We participated as a family of four, including a fifth-grade boy and a third-grade girl.
We saw turtles! They were munching on seaweed up close and coming up to the surface for air!
We also got to see many beautiful fish! There were clownfish, and they were so cute!
The guide was a kind young man who explained everything clearly and thoroughly about the sea turtles, corals, and Miyako Island, and he was very considerate towards the children, making the time spent outside of snorkeling very enjoyable as well.
I think even those who aren't used to swimming will be fine in the shallow waters. For those who still feel unsure, the guide reassured us by saying, "I'll pull you with a float!"
Also, during snorkeling, my daughter complained about her head and eyes hurting from the unfamiliar goggles, but the guide kindly adjusted them and gently encouraged her to take it easy, which helped her persevere until the end.

We were honestly surprised by how many photos of the turtles, corals, and fish we received. They were all beautifully taken!
I usually don't write reviews, but I hope this can serve as a reference for others considering snorkeling.
The guides were so great that I felt comfortable leaving everything in their hands!
Our whole family was very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory!
If we go to Miyako Island again, we would definitely like to request this again. Thank you so much!

小5年男子、小3女子含む4人家族で参加させて頂きました。
カメさんいました！間近で海藻バクバク食べてたし、息するのに海面から顔出して息継ぎするし！！
たくさんのキレイな魚も見れました！クマノミもいてかわいかったです！
ガイドの方は優しいお兄さんで、ウミガメのことはもちろん珊瑚のこと、宮古島のことなど終始わかりやすく丁寧に説明してくださり、子供達にも優しく気遣ってくれてシュノーケル以外の時間もとても楽しく過ごすことができました。
思ってたより浅瀬で泳ぎになれない方でも大丈夫かと思います。それでも自信ない方はガイドの方が「浮き輪で引っ張りますよー」って声かけてくださるので安心ですよ！
また、シュノーケル途中でうちの娘が慣れないゴーグルで頭が痛い、目が痛いなど訴えてしまいましたが、ガイドの方が丁寧に調整してくれたり「無理しないで」と優しく声掛け接してくれたおかげで娘も最後までがんばれました。

写真もウミガメとの写真、珊瑚や魚たちの写真をすごくたくさん送っていただき正直驚きました。もちろんキレイに写ってます！
普段は体験談など書かないのですが、、シュノーケル考えている他の方への参考になればと思います。
それに書きたくなるぐらいとても良い感じの兄さん達なので安心して任せられます！
家族全員とても満足で、とてもいい思い出となりました！！
また宮古島へ行った際は、ぜひお願いしたいです。本当にありがとうございました！！

I met up at the location, but I quickly got the place wrong...

When I parked in the hotel parking lot as instructed, the taxi driver told me it was the wrong place, but I eventually made it there safely.

I still find meeting up at the location quite confusing...

The snorkeling was a sea turtle exploration tour, but I didn't get to see any sea turtles. However, the snorkeling itself was beautiful and enjoyable. There was plenty of time as well.

The instructor was kind and attentive, thank you very much.

It was great that there were showers and changing areas on the boat.

現地集合で、早速場所を間違えました。。

説明もらったホテルの駐車場にとめたらタクシー運転手さんに違うよとおしえてもらい無事にたどり着きました。

やっぱり現地集合はよくわからないですね、、、


シュノーケリングは海亀探索ツアーでしたが海亀には会えませんでした。でもシュノーケリングは綺麗で楽しかったです。時間も十分でした。

インストラクターのお兄さんも優しく丁寧でした、ありがとうございました。

船内シャワーや着替えられる場所もありよかったです

I was taken care of with stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. The person in charge and the staff at the shop were very kind and attentive, and my elementary school son was very happy. He talked about how much he enjoyed feeding the fish and observing the hermit crabs, saying it was the most fun part of our trip. I thought stand-up paddleboarding would be difficult, but I was able to enjoy it even as a beginner. I want to challenge myself with stand-up paddleboarding again next year. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Snorkeling on the north side of Nugan Island. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for. A downside is that since we didn't go ashore, we couldn't relax fully.

ヌガンヌ島の北側に停泊してのシュノーケリング。お目当てのウミガメには会えませんでした。残念。
上陸はしないので、ゆっくりくつろげない点はデメリット。

I thought there would be 2 to 3 photos, but they took a lot.
It said that I could use the shower, but only cold water came out.
I heard there were places where hot water was available.
The staff, especially the boys, were all kind and easy to understand.
I was able to go snorkeling without any worries.
It was fun and went by in a flash.

写真付きは2~3枚かと思ったら
すごい沢山撮ってくれた
シャワー使用できるとあったが
水しかでなかった
お湯が出るところもあったらしいが
スタッフの男の子たちは
みなさん親切わかりやすい
何の心配もなくシュノーケリングできました
楽しかった
あっという間だった

I was able to see four sea turtles, took a lot of photos, and the guide's stories were interesting! They also made sure to give us enough time to practice, so everything went smoothly!

ウミガメ4匹も見れたし、写真も沢山取れたし、ガイドさんのお話も面白かった！しっかり練習する時間とかも取ってくれたので特に問題なく行けました！
