All Reviews for Snorkeling

I participated with my dad when I was 9 years old.
We started with a simple explanation and practice in a shallow area.
Since I could touch the bottom and had a float, it was reassuring for those who couldn't swim because they could pull us along.
We started looking for sea turtles and found one in about a minute (it might have been the fastest ever!).
We took a lot of beautiful pictures, and it became an amazing memory.
After that, they took us to a spot with tropical fish, and we saw so many!

Our guide, Wataru, was kind and fantastic!!
Since he was from the local area, he told us about various shops and spots.
The Okinawa soba restaurant he recommended was delicious.
I hope to do this again!

9歳です。パパと参加しました
始めに浅いところで簡単な説明と練習をしました
足もつくし浮き輪を持っているので泳げない人も引っ張ってくれるので安心です
ウミガメを探し始めて１分くらいで発見（今までで一番早いかもって）
たくさんきれいな写真を撮ってくれて最高な思い出になりました
そのあとは熱帯魚のスポットに連れて行ってくれていっぱい会えました!

ガイドのワタル君は優しくて最高でした！！
地元出身との事でいろいろなお店やスポットも教えてくれました
教えて頂いた沖縄そばのお店も美味しかったです
またお願いしますね

The sea was still cold and the weather wasn't great, but the ocean was very beautiful. The children were very happy. However, it was disappointing that we couldn't see any sea turtles. I hope to come back and try again when it's a bit warmer.

まだ海が冷たくて天気もよくなかったのですが、海とてもキレイでした。
子どももとても喜んでました。
でもウミガメが見れず残念でした。
次回もう少し暑くなってからリベンジしたいと思います。

It was my first time snorkeling, but Kometchi's personality was wonderful, and I had a great time. I was also very satisfied that we could capture the beautiful moments in the sea of Miyako Island with drone footage!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたがこめっちさんの人柄もすばらしく楽しい時間を過ごせました。ドローン撮影も綺麗な宮古島の海にいた瞬間を映像として残せたので大満足です！

I was able to fully enjoy the unique mangroves and the beauty of the sea in Ishigaki Island, and it became a wonderful memory. I was satisfied to see so many beautiful natural landscapes!

石垣島ならではのマングローブや海の魅力を堪能できて、とてもいい思い出になりました。自然のきれいな景色を沢山見ることができて満足です！

I was able to fully enjoy snorkeling while seeing sea turtles, Nemo, and many fish. I felt a bit anxious at first because I'm not a strong swimmer and we were going quite far, but the instructor stayed with us the whole time and pulled me along with a floating stick, so I was able to participate safely without drowning. There were also children participating. The curry for lunch was a bit spicy but delicious! I was very happy that the instructor sent me photos of the snorkeling via LINE, which will remain a wonderful memory. I will attach my favorite photo that the instructor sent.

ウミガメやニモ、多数の魚を見ながら、シュノーケルを存分に楽しむことができました。
泳ぎが苦手で、かなり遠くまで行くので大丈夫か一瞬不安を感じましたが、インストラクターの方がずっと一緒にいて、浮く棒で引っ張って下さったので、溺れることなく安全に参加する事ができました。子供達も参加されていました。
お昼のカレーも少し辛めで美味しかったです！
シュノーケルの写真を撮ってLINEで送って下さったのも思い出に残るので、大変嬉しかったです。
インストラクターの方が送って下さった写真のうちお気に入りを添付させて頂きます。

I participated in a snorkeling and kayaking tour, and it was just so much fun! The guides were all very kind and entertaining, and I became really close with everyone who joined. I even received wonderful photos right away, making it the best day ever! Thank you so much for a fantastic day!

シュノーケル&カヤックツアーに参加したのですが、とにかく楽しすぎました！
ガイドさんもとっても優しく、面白い人ばかりで
参加した皆さんともとっても仲良くなれました！
ステキな写真まですぐに頂けて、最高な1日になりました★ステキな1日を本当にありがとうございました！

Both kayaking and snorkeling were great with the nice weather and abundant nature! Above all, the staff's thoughtfulness, kindness, and unique behavior were absolutely wonderful! Thank you very much!!

カヤックもシュノーケリングも天気が良くて、自然豊かでした！なによりもスタッフさんの気遣いと優しさとユニークな振る舞いが、最高によかったです！ありがとうございました！！

I participated in a snorkeling tour for the first time in Miyako Island! I was considering snorkeling on my own, but it was so much fun to swim in spots where there were lots of sea turtles and colorful coral teeming with fish! I signed up for a plan that included photos, and I thought I would only receive a few, but I was amazed to receive dozens of beautiful pictures of me swimming with the sea turtles! The instructor, Kometchi, was cheerful and friendly, and even after the tour ended, he shared many recommendations for spots in Miyako Island. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you!

宮古島で初めてシュノーケルツアーに参加しました！
自分達でシュノーケルをしようかな？とも思ってましたが、
ウミガメがたくさんいるスポットや、魚がたくさん見れるサンゴスポットで泳げてすごい楽しかったです！！
申し込んだのは写真付きのプランで、写真は貰えても数枚かな？と思っていたのですが、
何十枚ものウミガメと泳いでる綺麗な写真を送ってくださり感動しました！
インストラクターのこめっちさんは明るく気さくな人で、ツアー終了後も宮古島のおすすめスポットをたくさん教えてくれました。
ほんとにオススメのツアーです☺︎！ありがとうございました！

I was worried about what would happen if the trip was canceled due to bad weather, but the guide provided appropriate support, allowing me to enjoy my first trip to Okinawa and Ishigaki Island and create wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

天候悪い中、中止になったらどうしようかと思っていたけど、ガイドさんが適切な対応をして下さり、初の沖縄、石垣島旅行を楽しみ、最高の思い出を作る事が出来ました。有難う御座います。

Each group is assigned one instructor. We had Erika as our instructor! She was very considerate of her, as she was not very experienced at swimming, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a careful and fun manner. The Blue Cave was also incredibly beautiful, making it a great experience! Next time, I would like to try diving!

1組につき1人、インストラクターの方がついてくださいます。
私たちはエリカさんにご担当いただきました！
泳ぎが不慣れな彼女にも気を使っていただきながら、丁寧かつ楽しく、シュノーケルを楽しめました。
青の洞窟もとっっっても綺麗で良い体験になりました！
次回はダイビングに挑戦したいと思います！

I was able to see the sea turtles that I had dreamed of. The sea was beautiful, and all the staff were great. The sea was beautiful, and I saw many fish.

夢だった海亀も見れました。海も綺麗で、スタッフの方々も皆良かったです。海も綺麗で沢山の魚が見れました。

I received a message while heading to the airport that due to bad weather, they had to change the course. I was really disappointed because I intended for this to be my last snorkeling experience due to my age, but instead, I got to go canoeing, which I hadn't expected much from, and it turned out to be a lot of fun. The instructor was also very polite and provided clear guidance, which made me feel comfortable participating. Additionally, the water buffalo cart on Yubu Island truly felt like an experience of a remote island, which was great. Personally, I felt that the one hour stay on the island was not enough, so if I go again in the future, I would like to take my time and enjoy it more.

朝空港に向かっていた時に連絡があり、天候不良の為コースを変えざるを得ないとの事。
年齢的に最後のシュノーケリングのつもりだったのでなんだかとても残念だったが、代わりにカヌーをさせて頂き、あまり期待していなかったカヌーがとても楽しかった。
インストラクターの方も丁寧で分かりやすく指導してくれて、安心して参加する事が出来た。
また由布島の水牛車はまさしく離島と言う感じで体験出来て良かったです。
個人的には島の滞在時間が1時間では足らなかったので、今後行く事があったらもっとゆっくりしたいと思いました。

The weather was bad and the waves were rough, so I thought it would be best to definitely take motion sickness medication since the high-speed boat rocked quite a bit. I held onto the vomit bag and endured for almost an hour. However, even as a first-timer, I was moved by the beautiful scenery of the coral. The clarity of the ocean is extraordinary, offering a world that can only be experienced by those who come here.

天候が悪く波が荒かったので、かなり高速船揺れたので酔い止めは必ず飲んだ方が良いかと思いました。結構エチケット袋握って１時間弱耐えてましたので。皆様。しかし、初めてでも珊瑚の素敵な景色をみられ感動しました。海の透明度が半端ない来た人にしか味わえない世界観。

We participated in this tour to celebrate my father's retirement! It was his first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but thanks to the thorough instruction, my 65-year-old father was able to enjoy it. He was so happy to have created a lifelong memory, and I'm glad we joined!

父親の定年退職のお祝い旅行でこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！初めてのSUPでしたが、丁寧にレクチャーしていただいたおかげで65歳の父でも楽しめたようです^^
一生の思い出になったと喜んでもらえて、参加して良かったです♪

- Canoeing
Many people were doing SUP, but my partner and I enjoyed it together in a two-person canoe. The weather was nice, and it felt great. We took a lot of photos with the beautiful sea in the background.

- Snorkeling
Due to rough seas, we didn't go to the Blue Cave but instead held the event at Okasaki Beach. We were able to see various fish, corals, and even sea turtles, making it a wonderful day. It had been about 20 years since I last swam, but I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea safely and happily. I got a bit seasick from overeating at lunch, so it's better to eat lightly before snorkeling (even though the guide had warned us in advance...).

・カヌー
多くの方がSUPでしたが恋人と共に２人乗りで楽しみました。天気も良くとても気持ちかったです。綺麗な海をバックにたくさん写真を撮って頂きました。

・シュノーケル
海が荒れていたため青の洞窟でなく大崎ビーチでの開催でした。
様々なお魚、サンゴだけでなくウミガメとも会うことができ、素敵な一日となりました。
泳ぐのは20年ぶりぐらいでしたが、安全かつ楽しく綺麗な海を楽しめました。
昼食を食べ過ぎたせいで多少波酔いをしてしまったのでシュノーケル前は控えめにした方が良いです（ガイドさんが事前に伝えてくれていたのに…）

I participated in this activity on Miyako Island for the first time! The tour guide, "Komecchi," was very easy to talk to, and I had a great time swimming with the sea turtles, which I had been looking forward to! It was also helpful that at the end of the tour, I received a lot of recommendations for spots and gourmet information on Miyako Island! Thank you very much!!!

初めての宮古島で今回のアクティビティに参加しました！
ツアーガイド「こめっちさん」はとても話しやすく、念願のウミガメと泳ぐことができて楽しい時間を過ごせました！
ツアー終わりに宮古島のオススメスポットやグルメ情報をたくさん教えてもらえたのも助かりました！
ありがとうございました！！！

I had a great time snorkeling with a friendly instructor! I was able to see the sea turtles I was hoping for, along with many corals and fish, so I was very satisfied! There are also considerations and care for those who might be a bit scared of the ocean or have a fear of it, making it recommended for women and children as well!

気さくなインスタラクターの方で楽しくシュノーケリングさせて頂きました！目当てのウミガメに会えて、たくさんのサンゴやお魚も見ることができたので大満足です！！海が少し怖い人や苦手意識がある人でも楽しめる配慮や気遣いもあるので女性や子供にもおすすめです！

I had booked a similar tour with another company, but it was canceled due to poor sea conditions, so I made a last-minute reservation here. You get free fish food, so you can see fish the entire time while snorkeling. I added the sea turtle exploration tour as an option, and I was able to see them, which made me very satisfied! The staff were friendly and lent us things like anti-fog spray frequently.

*Note: The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must.
*The shower is in a place where everyone can see, so you can't wash properly. After the tour, we went to a nearby hot spring.

他社で似たようなツアーを予約していたところ、海況不良で欠航になってしまい、ダメ元で急遽予約しました。
魚の餌が無料で貰えるので、シュノーケル中ずっと魚が観れます。
ウミガメ探索ツアーをオプションで付け、無事に観ることができて大満足です！
スタッフさんも気さくで、くもり止めなどもこまめに貸していただけます。

※船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは必須です。
※シャワーは全員から丸見えの場所にあるのでしっかり洗うことはできません。私達はツアー解散後、近くの温泉に行きました。

We participated as a couple. I was anxious because I can't swim, but they kept pulling my float, and even someone like me was able to go out to the sea and see sea turtles. When we returned, I got seasick and felt unwell. They even bought me a drink, which was very kind of them. I am grateful for their kindness. It was a really great experience, and I'm glad we did it. Thank you very much. It's a wonderful memory.

夫婦2人で参加させて頂きました
私が泳げない為不安でしたが、ずっと浮き輪を引っ張ってくれて、こんな私でも沖まで出て海亀を見ることが出来ました。
戻ってきた時に、波酔いをしてしまい、気分が悪くなりました。
飲み物まで買ってきてくれて、とても優しく、
親切にして頂き、感謝しています。
とてもいい経験が出来て、良かったです
本当にありがとうございました。いい思い出です

The guide conducted a fun tour at a good pace. They took many photos, and I was able to spend a pleasant time. It seems we were blessed with good weather and conditions; the guide was private, the sea was clear, and I was surrounded by many fish. I also enjoyed the Blue Cave and encountered scenery that I will never forget. I am truly grateful for the nature of the Ryukyu Islands and the guide. I would love to visit again.

ガイドさん、テンポ良く楽しいツアーを進めていただきました。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、心地良い時間を過ごせました。
天気やコンディションにも恵まれたようで、ガイドさんは貸切、海の透明度もあり、たくさんの魚たちに囲まれて、青の洞窟も満喫でき、一生忘れる事がない風景に出会えました。
琉球の自然たちとガイドさん、本当に感謝感謝です。また訪れたいと思います。

In the morning, I went canoeing along the Miyara River to see the mangroves. The guide was cheerful throughout and kept us entertained until the end! The sightseeing information to the location was easy to understand, and once we arrived, they explained how to do canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding in a way that beginners could understand.

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling at the Blue Cave. The guide here was also very cheerful and explained the sightseeing and how to snorkel in an easy-to-understand manner!

We were blessed with great weather and made the best memories!

AMにカヌーで宮良川沿いのマングローブを観て来ました。ガイドさんが終始明るく、最後まで楽しませてくれました！現地までの観光案内も分かりやすく、現地着いてからカヌーやSUPのやり方を初心者にも分かるように説明してくれました。

PMで青の洞窟へシュノーケリングをしに行きました。こちらも明るい方で観光案内やシュノーケリングの仕方まで分かりやすく教えていただきました！

天気にも恵まれて最高の思い出が出来ました

We set off from the beach to go snorkeling in search of sea turtles, and it wasn't long before we found them. The turtles seemed accustomed to people and continued munching on seaweed without a care as we approached. Eventually, a small turtle came close, and we were able to meet four turtles in total. The guide was a picture-perfect young man, and the underwater photos turned out great. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

ビーチからシュノーケリングしながら、ウミガメを探しに出発し、ほどなく発見
カメさんたちは、人に慣れてるみたいで、近づいてもまるで気にせず海草をパクパクしてました。
そのうち小さいカメも近づいてきて、4匹のカメ達に会うことができました。
ガイドの方は絵に描いたような好青年で、海中での写真もバッチリです。
また機会があれば行きたい。

I had been wanting to experience the Kayaking at Kabira Bay in Ishigaki Island! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and it wasn't the stunning Kabira Blue condition, but I had a lot of fun and was very satisfied! The wind was stronger than I expected, making it a bit challenging, but our guide was very attentive and ensured we could enjoy it safely. There was even an incident where my friend's hat flew away due to the strong wind... (The guide helped retrieve it. If you're wearing a hat, make sure it has a secure strap so it doesn't get blown away!) Additionally, the guide shared some great gourmet recommendations and information about firefly tours, which was very helpful. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island, I would like to ask for PiPi again. Thank you very much!

石垣島でぜひ体験したいと思っていた川平湾シーカヤック！あいにくの曇り空で、見事な川平ブルーというコンディションではありませんでしたが、とっても楽しくて満足でした！思った以上に風が強く少し大変でしだが、ガイドさんがしっかり対応してくださり安全に楽しむことができました。強風で友人の帽子が飛ばされてしまうアクシデントも。。(ガイドさんが回収してくれました。帽子をかぶっていくときは、飛ばされないようにしっかり紐付きのものを！)また、ガイドさんからおすすめのグルメ情報やホタルツアーについてもご紹介いただいたりと、とってもお世話になりました。また次回、石垣島に行くときはPiPiさんにお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました！

My first trip to Ishigaki Island with the kids was filled with wonderful memories of mangroves and snorkeling. The conversations on the bus during the gathering were enjoyable, and the kayaking through the mangroves was well-explained, allowing us to learn about the nature of Ishigaki Island while having fun.

The afternoon snorkeling was well-managed, especially for the little ones, providing a great experience. At one point, an adult got seasick and had to leave, but the support for the group with children was thorough, making it a very reassuring tour.

Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't do the cave snorkeling this time, so I would like to use this tour again when I visit Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much for your assistance.

子供達と初めての石垣島でマングローブとシュノーケリングはとても楽しい思い出になりました。集合からバス車内でのお話も楽しく、マングローブのカヤックでは、説明も丁寧で石垣島の自然を学びながら、楽しく過ごすことができました。
午後のシュノーケリングは、小さい子供達のフォローも行き届き、良い経験ができました。途中、波酔いして、大人が一人離脱したのですが、子供連れのグループへのフォローをしっかりしてくださって、とても安心できるツアーでした。
今回、天候が悪く洞窟のシュノーケリングができなかったので、また石垣島に訪れる際にはこちらのツアーを利用したいです。大変お世話になりました。

I participated in the Blue Cave tour. My son has snorkeled a few times before, but he said he didn't like the salty sea water. He was anxious about whether he could dive properly this time, but the instructor was very kind, and in the end, he was able to dive on his own! We were both very satisfied with being able to feed the fish as well!

Although the seawater was still cold, I was very grateful that they prepared warm water for us when we got back on the boat. I would love to be guided to the beautiful sea again the next time I come to Okinawa!

青の洞窟ツアーに参加しました。
息子はこれまでも何度かシュノーケルはしたことがありますが、海の水がしょっぱいと言って苦手でした。今回もちゃんと潜れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がとても優しく接してくださり、最後には自分だけで潜ることができました♩
魚へのエサやりもできて、親子共に大満足でした！

また海水がまだ冷たい時期でしたが、船に上がったときに温水を準備してくださっていたことがとてもありがたかったです。
次回沖縄に来るときも綺麗な海を案内していただきたいです♩

Thank you for the other day! My two friends and I participated and had a very fulfilling day. We were blessed with good weather, and the snorkeling was especially impressive! The instructor was very kind and took many photos for us, which made us very satisfied! However, I think it would have been better to take a break near Kabira Bay instead of returning to the island terminal for lunch. If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would like to use your services once more!

先日はありがとうございました！友達二人で参加させていただき、とても充実した1日を過ごすことができました。天候にも恵まれ、特にシュノーケルが感動しました！インストラクターの方も大変親切に接していただき、写真もたくさん撮ってもらい、大満足です！ただ、昼休憩の際は一旦、離島ターミナルに戻ってとるため、川平湾付近での休憩であればより良かったと思います。また石垣島に行く機会があれば再度利用しようと思います！

On my first visit to Iriomote Island, I really wanted to join the mangrove kayaking tour. The guide was very serious and passionate, and I had a wonderfully enjoyable time. The photos sent to me after the tour were all great shots, allowing me to relive the experience even after the trip. I highly recommend it!

初めての西表島で、どうしても参加したかったマングローブカヤック巡り。
ガイドさんが大変真面目な上、情熱のある方で、とても楽しく素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
ツアー後に送っていただいた写真も、ナイスショットばかりで旅の後も余韻に浸ることができます。
おすすめです！

The guide was kind and very polite. I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. Thanks to that, I have wonderful memories, and I am grateful. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが親切でとても丁寧な方でした。
安心してツアーに参加できました。
お陰様でとても楽しい思い出ができて感謝しています。ありがとうございました

On March 30, I experienced snorkeling. Although the Blue Cave was closed due to strong winds, we snorkeled at a beach about a 5-minute walk from the parking lot at Manza Beach. My two older daughters were initially scared of the cold water, but our instructor, Mr. Kaneshiro, cheerfully encouraged them, saying, "Don't worry! I'm the coldest one here!" and they were able to dive safely. At first, the water was cold, but as we swam among the many fish, I stopped noticing it. Underwater, he explained about the fish, tried to catch an octopus, and showed us where to find clownfish. Due to the season, there were few people, allowing us to take our time enjoying the beautiful sea. He also took many photos and handed them to us on the spot, which made me very happy to see them right away. (One thing to note, it was mentioned that towels were free, but since we brought our own, I'm not sure if they were available for borrowing.)

3月30日にシュノーケルを体験しました。
風が強く青の洞窟はクローズしていましたが、眞栄田岬の駐車場から歩いて5分程のビーチでシュノーケルしました。
海の冷たさに怯えていた上の娘2人でしたが、インストラクターの金城さんが明るく『大丈夫！僕が1番寒がりだから！』と励まされ、無事に潜ることができました。
正面、最初は海が冷たかったですが、たくさんお魚がいる中を泳いでいたら気にならなくなりました。
海の中では、お魚について説明してくれたり、タコを捕まえようとしてくれたり、クマノミの場所も教えてくれました。時期のせいで人も少なく、キレイな海の中をゆっくり見ることができました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、その場で渡してくれたので、すぐに見ることができ嬉しかったです。
(一点だけ、タオルは無料とありましてが、持っていったので借りることは無く、借りられたかも不明です。)

Due to the influence of the wind, we changed from SUP at Kawahira Bay and snorkeling at the Blue Cave to mangrove SUP and snorkeling at the Blue Cave in Miyara River, but it turned out to be a very fulfilling day where we could fully enjoy the nature of the mangroves and the sea of Ishigaki Island.

I was also thrilled to see a sea turtle while snorkeling, which was a lucky experience.

The guides were all very kind and provided detailed explanations, making it enjoyable even for someone participating alone. I was also very grateful for the many photos they took of me, which I wouldn’t have been able to capture myself.

If I have the opportunity to visit Ishigaki Island again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour once more. It became a wonderful memory of Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much for a fun day!

風の影響で川平湾のSUPと青の洞窟のシュノーケリングから宮良川でのマングローブSUPと青の洞窟のシュノーケリングに変更になりましたが、結果的にマングローブの自然や石垣島の海を満喫できたとても充実した1日になりました。
シュノーケリングでは、運良くウミガメが見られたことにも感動しました。

ガイドの方が皆さん親切で説明も詳しくしてくださったので1人参加でもとても楽しめました。
自分ではなかなか撮られないような写真をたくさん撮ってもらい、共有してもらえたのもとてもありがたかったです。

また石垣島に来る機会があれば、またぜひ参加させていただきたいツアーでした。
石垣島のいい思い出になりました。
楽しい1日を、どうもありがとうございました！
