All Reviews for Snorkeling

It was my first time snorkeling! I was a bit anxious because I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but the staff were very kind and taught me well, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind! The sea was incredibly clear and beautiful, and I was amazed to see so many fish and coral! The beautiful phantom island was also a place that healed my heart! Thanks to the handsome and kind staff, I had a great time and was very satisfied! Thank you! If I have the chance to go to Ishigaki again, I would definitely like to participate again!

初めてのシュノーケリングでした！泳ぎに自信がなかったので不安もありましたが、スタッフの方がとても親切に教えて頂き、安心して楽しむことができました！！海はとても透き通っていてキレイで、たくさんのお魚や珊瑚を見ることができて感動しました！！また幻の島もキレイで、心が癒されました！
イケメンで優しいスタッフの方たちのおかけで、とても楽しむことができ大満足です！！ありがとうございました！また石垣に行く機会があればぜひまた参加したいです！

I experienced snorkeling and SUP with this plan, and it was so much fun! Since I participated in early July during the busy season, there were about five or six other groups along with me, and we did the activities under the guidance of our instructor, Kei. Although there were quite a few people, we could swim freely in the ocean, and it was wonderful to see sea turtles and beautiful fish! We also got to take many photos with the sea turtles and fish, which made for even better memories.

Since this activity involves spending a long time in the water and on the SUP board under the sun, I think it's a good idea to bring at least a rash guard.

It became a really great memory. Thank you!

こちらのプランでシュノーケリングとSUPを体験しましたが、とても楽しかったです！
繁忙期の7月上旬に参加した為、他にも5、6組程の参加者と共に慶さん(インストラクターさん)の元、アクティビティを行いました。割と大人数でしたが、自由に海を泳ぐことができ、ウミガメや綺麗な魚を見ることができたのはとてもよかったです！またウミガメや魚と一緒に写真を沢山撮って頂けて、より良い思い出になったかなと思います♪
長時間海の中やSUPのボードの上で日光を浴び続けるアクティビティの為、上だけでもラッシュガードを持参した方がいいかなと思います。
とてもいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

I am a bit of a coward, but there were many tour guides accompanying us, so I was able to enjoy marine sports with peace of mind.

私はビビりなのですが、添乗員さんもたくさんついてくださっていたので、安心してマリンスポーツを楽しむことができました。

The weather in Naha is perfect,
Let's go snorkeling!

Our destination is the meeting point at Shurijo Castle,
Feeling the seasonal breeze as we walk!

I'm a bit worried because I forgot my motion sickness medication,
Sure enough, five minutes after departure, I got seasick.
The coral reef we aim for feels so far away!

The cold barley tea provided was refreshing,
I drank it all at once, and my mood cleared up!
Heading towards the cheerful home of the sea turtles!

Finally encountered a cute sea turtle,
It was just sleeping, and it was so soothing.

If you're coming to Naha, this half-day tour is a lot of fun,
I highly recommend it!

那覇の天気は最高、
シュノーケルにさぁ行こう！

目指すは集合場所の三重城、
歩きながら感じる季節風！

酔い止め忘れたちょっと心配、
出航5分案の定、船酔い。
目指す珊瑚礁、ほど遠い！

用意されていた冷たい麦茶、
一気に爽快、気分はクリア！
陽気に向かうウミガメの住処！

ついに遭遇かわいいウミガメ
普通に寝てた、癒されました。

那覇にくるなら半日で楽しい
こちらのツアーはマジでおすすめ！

I have participated in various activities so far, but this was the most thorough tour with detailed explanations and guidance. I attended with my 6-year-old child, who was hesitant about wearing the wetsuit and goggles since it was their first activity. However, the guide was very considerate both in the sea and on the boat, and we received great care. Thank you very much.

The boat entry was for snorkeling, so we swam in a limited area. After a break, during the second entry, the waves were moving quickly, and we ended up getting back on the boat right away. The boat also had a slide, making it a tour that families with children can enjoy with peace of mind.

今までさまざまなアクティビティに参加しましたが、事前説明や案内などいちばん丁寧なツアーでした。
6歳の子を連れての参加で、初めてのアクティビティで慣れずウェットスーツやゴーグルを嫌がったのですが、ガイドのお姉さんが海でも船でもずっと気遣ってくださり、大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。
ボートエントリーはシュノーケルだったので狭い範囲での遊泳で、一度休憩した後の二回目のエントリーは波の動きが早く流されてしまうためすぐ船に上がって終わりました。
船には滑り台もあり、子連れも安心して体験できるツアーでした。

Participation at the end of June. The clarity was beyond my expectations, comparable to that of the Big Island of Hawaii. I want to go again. Next time, I want to try diving as well. It was my first time wearing a full mask, and it was quite good.

6月末の参加。想像以上の透明度はハワイ島並み。また行きたい。次はダイビングも挑戦したい。フルマスク初めて着用、なかなか良かった。

I participated with my partner! The staff were all kind and wonderful. The boat rocked quite a bit, but I was fine since I took motion sickness medication!

I signed up for the sea turtle exploration tour, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles... It's a bit disappointing, but I guess that's the nature of wildlife! (laughs) I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting them next time♪

パートナーと参加しました！スタッフの方はみんな優しく、素敵な方ばかりでした。船は結構揺れましたが、酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でした！

ウミガメ探索ツアーを申し込んだのですが、ウミガメには出逢えずでちょっと残念でした...野生のものなのでしょうがないですね!(笑)次こそ出会えることを楽しみにしてます♪

We participated as a couple, and it was both of our first experiences with snorkeling and SUP. The instructor was very clear and thorough in their guidance, and they also monitored the health of all participants, which made us feel safe during the experience! Not only did we observe the fish, but we also enjoyed explanations about them at various points, which made it even more fun.

It was great that they took photos for us, so we didn't have to bring a camera into the water. We were able to encounter a sea turtle right away, and they filmed it with us.

One thing that concerned me was that the schedule at the time of booking was significantly different from the actual schedule. It was planned to include lunch and last until around 3 PM, but it actually ended in the morning. It wrapped up sooner than expected. While it was nice to have time afterward to enjoy other beaches and sightseeing, I think it would be helpful to have a more accurate schedule at the booking stage, as some people might be preparing lunch.

Overall, I was satisfied with this tour and would like to participate again if the opportunity arises! Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加し、二人ともシュノーケリング・SUPともに初体験でしたが、インストラクターの方がわかりやすく丁寧に指導してくださり、また、参加者全員の体調を見ながら進めてくれるので安心して体験できました！またお魚を観察するだけでなく、ところどころお魚の説明付きでより楽しめました。
写真を撮っていただけるので、海にカメラを持っていかなくても済んだのも良かったです。ウミガメにはすぐに遭遇することができ、一緒に動画で撮影してくださいました。
ひとつ気になったことと言えば、予約段階のスケジュールが実際のスケジュールとは大きく異なっていたことです。各自昼食をはさみ1５時頃までの予定でしたが、実際は午前中で終わりました。思いのほか早く終わりました。その後に行きたかった海や観光を楽しめたため良かったのですが、昼食の準備をされる方がいるかもしれないので、予約の段階で、ある程度正確なスケジュールがわかると良いのかなと思いました。
総じて、このツアーは満足しており、また機会があれば参加したいと思います！！ありがとうございました。

The staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable participating. The beautiful sea and sky were all breathtaking! I was half worried about whether I could paddle the canoe, but there was hardly any wind, and it was just a wonderfully pleasant time. I also received many images for free. I would like to go with PiPi again next time. Thank you!

スタッフさんがとても気さくに話しかけてくれて安心して参加できました。
綺麗な海、空　全てに感動❣️カヌーも漕げるかなと半分心配しながらのエントリーでしたが、風もほとんどなく、ただただ気持ちいいだけの時間でした。
無料で画像もたくさんいただけました。次もPiPiさんでお願いします。ありがとうございました。

The selection of music on the boat, the beautiful sea, and the kindness of the tour guide were all amazing. It was a half-day tour, but it felt like it went by so quickly that I wished I had booked a full-day tour. I was so captivated that I wanted to book again for the next day. However, it was a bit disappointing that the participants didn't gather on time, which delayed our departure. I can't wait to go back to Okinawa and join again. Thank you! ♡

行きの船の選曲も、美しい海も、ツアーの方の優しさもすべてが最高でした。
半日ツアーでしたが、1日ツアーにすればよかったと思うほど時間があっという間でした。
次の日も予約したいくらい虜になりました。
ただツアー参加者が出発時間にそろわず
出発時間が遅れたのが少し残念でした。
またすぐにでも沖縄に行って参加したいです。
ありがとうございました♡

I booked a snorkeling and introductory diving course. It was a very satisfying experience as I got to see sea turtles. I'm grateful for the hands-on instruction in diving. I now want to get my diving license instead of just an experience! I would like to request this again when I go to Okinawa.

シュノーケリング&体験ダイビングのコースで予約しました。
ウミガメにも会えて大満足のコースでした。
手取り足取りダイビングを教えていただき感謝です。
体験ではなくライセンス取りたくなりました!!
また沖縄に行く時はお願いしたいと思います。

My first canoeing experience was easier than I expected, and even someone like me who isn't good at sports was able to enjoy it without any problems. The cheerful instructor, the beautiful river, and the joyful laughter all made for the best memories. I participated in my swimsuit and got into the car just as I was. I think a larger towel might be necessary. It was helpful that we were taken directly to the hotel.

初めてのカヌーは思ったより簡単で、スポーツ苦手な私でも問題なく楽しめました。
明るいインストラクターと美しい川平の海、楽しい笑い声、全てが最高の思い出になりました。
水着のまま参加して、終わったらそのまま車に乗ります。大きめのタオルは必要かな。ホテルに直行してもらえたのは助かりました。

The experience itself and the personality of the instructor were perfect. It was a lifelong memory. They taught us everything from the basics of snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding to helpful tips with great care. I was really happy that they took so many photos for us. I would love to use their services again, and if I know anyone going to Miyako Island, I would definitely recommend them! During the session, there was a family with children, and I saw the instructor calling the child's name and interacting with them, which made me think this would be great for families as well.

体験自体も、教えてくださる方の人柄も完璧でした。一生の思い出です。
シュノーケリング、supの基本部分から、アドバイスまで一貫して丁寧に教えてくださりました。
写真もたくさん撮っていだだけで本当に嬉しかったです。次も利用させてもらいたいし、宮古島に行く知り合いがいればおすすめしたいです！！
一緒に参加している中で、お子様連れの方がいましたが、そのお子様の名前を呼んであげたりして、仲良くしている姿を見て、家族連れの方にもおすすめしたいと思いました。

The guides were kind enough to teach us, beginners in both SAP and snorkeling, in a way that we could understand. They also supported us in areas where we felt anxious or struggled, allowing us to enjoy the experience.

There were a few other groups on the tour with us, but the guides made sure to facilitate conversations among participants, which helped us bond and have a great time. The guides seemed to genuinely enjoy their work, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to participate again.

SAPもシュノーケリングも初心者のわたしたちでもできるよう、親切に教えてくださりました。また、不安なところ、苦手なところはガイドの方にフォローいただき楽しむことができました。
自分達以外の数組も一緒のツアーでしたが、参加者同士も仲良くなれるよう会話など配慮いただきとても楽しむことができました。
ガイドの方も心から楽しそうにお仕事されており、雰囲気がとても良かったです。
また機会があれば是非こちらに参加したいと思っております。

I was a bit anxious about whether we would be able to meet at the meeting place on the beach, but it turned out fine. There were a few other tours and some groups were doing activities together, but in this tour, it was just us. Thanks to that, we could take our time talking, and after encountering the sea turtles, it was just the two of us, so we could play nearby and take lots of photos. After that, we were also taken to the coral reef, where we enjoyed ourselves at a leisurely pace. It was truly enjoyable! ♪

集合場所が海岸でちゃんと会えるか不安がありましたが大丈夫でした。他にも何件かツアーがあり何組かの団体行動してましたがここのツアーは私達だけ。でもそのお陰でゆっくりと話しながらで、ウミガメに出会ってからも私達夫婦だけだったので近くでずっと遊べて写真も沢山撮ってもらえました。その後にサンゴ礁の方へも連れて行ってもらいゆっくりと楽しませてもらえました。
本当に楽しったです♪

I participated in the 3-point swimming plan!!

The first point was Nagannu Island, and it was great◎
The second point was Turtle Point, and it was also great◎
The third point was beautiful, but I felt like it didn't have a clear highlight, so it was a bit disappointing△!!

Overall, I was satisfied with the volume of the plan!

There was just one thing I was concerned about. I could hear real warnings and scoldings among the staff, and if I were in the same position, I wouldn't want to hear that, so I recommend handling it behind the scenes!!

I had a lot of fun☆

I look forward to visiting again next time.

3ポイントを泳ぐプランに参加しました！！

一つ目のポイントはナガンヌ島でとても◎
二つ目のポイントはカメさんポイントでとても◎
三つ目のポイントは？？？って感じで綺麗だったけど何が売りのポイントって感じで△でした！！

だけど全体的にプランのボリュームに満足させて頂きました！

あと一点だけ気になったところ。
スタッフ間のリアルな注意や説教が聞こえてきて
同じ立場だったら聞かれたくないと思ったので裏でやる事をオススメします！！

楽しかったです☆

また遊びに来た時はよろしくお願いします。

In the afternoon, I participated in SUP and sea turtle snorkeling with my wife. It was so much fun! The weather was great, and the water clarity was good. The guides were both kind and worked hard to support us. Thank you very much. I wasn't confident about SUP, but I managed to stand up well, and I also encountered turtles while snorkeling. They take photos for both activities, which makes for great memories. I participated in this tour in Ishigaki Island last year as well, and I am always very satisfied. Thank you!

午後からSUPと海亀シュノーケリングに妻と参加しました。楽しかったー。天気も良く、海の透明度もGOOD。ガイドさんもどちらも親切で、一生懸命にサポートしてくれました。ありがとうございました。SUPも自信がなかったのですが、上手く立てましたし、シュノーケリングも亀にも出会えました。どちらも写真も撮ってくれるので、良い思い出になります。こちらのツアーは石垣島で昨年も参加しましたが毎回とても満足します。ありがとうございました。

The weather was a concern, but it turned out to be clear skies.
It was perfect for snorkeling.
The waves were high and it was really rocky, but we safely arrived at the point.
It was truly the best day for snorkeling.
The blue was beautiful—this is Kerama Blue!
It sometimes looked like a deep green,
and the colors of the corals were varied.
We even encountered a sea turtle.

Thank you to all the staff.
I want to go again tomorrow!

スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました
明日にでも行きたいです

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon! They provided transportation from any location and the guidance to the destination was smooth! Along the way, they shared a lot about the island's history, recommended spots, and delicious restaurants, and I was very satisfied with both the tour content and the service! They also shared the charm of the island, making me want to move here in the future (laughs). I would love to use their services again when I travel back! I also want to recommend it to my friends (＾_＾).

今回はハネムーンでこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！どんな場所でも送迎してくれて現地までの案内もスムーズ！道中は島の歴史やおすすめスポット、美味しいご飯屋さんをたくさん教えてくださり、ツアー内容ともに接客も大満足です！！島の魅力も共有してくれて老後は移住したくなりました(笑)また旅行にきた際には利用させていただきたいです！友達にもおすすめしたいと思います（＾_＾）

I was very moved to see about seven sea turtles up close while snorkeling! Even those who are not good at snorkeling can feel at ease participating, as the staff explained everything very thoroughly. In the second half, we chose to go canoeing, and it became the best memory as we played in the beautiful sea while relaxing! The stand-up paddleboarding also looked like a lot of fun. Additionally, the staff took photos for us, so I look forward to reminiscing while looking back at them. The tour duration was just right, and I'm glad I participated.

Thank you for such a fun tour! I would love to join again when I come back to Miyako.

シュノーケリングではウミガメが7匹ほど至近距離で見れてとても感動しました！シュノーケリングが得意ではない方も、とても丁寧にスタッフの方が説明してくださったので安心して参加できると思います。後半は私たちはカヌーを選んだのですが、リラックスしながらきれいな海でカヌーで遊べ最高の思い出になりました！サップの方もとても楽しそうでした。またスタッフの方が写真も撮ってくださるので、見返して思い出に浸りたいと思います。ツアーの時間も丁度良く、参加してよかったです。
とても楽しいツアーをありがとうございました！また宮古に来たら参加したいと思います。

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour on May 9th. I was worried about whether I would see sea turtles, but I was able to see many of them! There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and SUP, so I was very satisfied. The staff were friendly and made it enjoyable. It was a great trip, thank you!

5/9にシュノーケル&SUPのツアーに参加しました。
ウミガメに会えるか不安でしたが沢山会うことが出来ました！
シュノーケルの時間もSUPの時間もたっぷりあったので大満足でした。
スタッフの方も気さくで楽しめました。良い旅行になりました、ありがとうございました！

I participated alone. All the staff were kind, and I had a wonderful day! I was glad to meet the sea turtle! I'm very grateful to Yukie, who was in charge of my experience diving. Thank you so much! I'm already thinking about wanting to dive again, so I hope to be in your care next time as well. I hope I can come around next month!

１人で参加しました。スタッフの方みなさん優しくてとても良い１日をすごせました！
ウミガメさんに会いたかったので会えて良かったです！
体験ダイビングで担当していただいた、ゆきえさんには感謝感謝です。ありがとうございました！
もうすでにまたダイビングしたいと思っているので次回もお世話になりたいなと思ってます。
来月くらいに来れたらいいな～

今回は初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、マリンベリークラブのスタッフが一緒にいてくれたことに感謝しています。彼らはベテランのダイバーで、親しみやすく、助けてくれる準備ができています。彼らの経験とガイドのおかげで、ウミガメを見つけることに成功しました。

It is our first snorkeling this time and we are pleased that marine berry club staff were with us. They are veteran divers, approachable and ready to help.
Thanks to their experience and guide, we succeeded in spotting a sea turtle.

I got to see sea turtles, and the tour guides were all kind and good-looking! I participated with three other men, and it was surprising that the two who are not good with water said they want to go again! If I come to Okinawa again, I will definitely stop by!

ウミガメにも会えたし、添乗員さんも皆さん優しくて美男美女揃い！！
男4人で参加しましたが、水の苦手な2人が最高！また行きたいと言っていたのは驚きです！
また沖縄に来たら寄らせて貰います！

I didn't have high expectations for the water clarity due to the continuous rain, but I was guided to a very beautiful place and had a wonderful time. I felt at ease since I lack confidence in my physical strength and swimming abilities!

雨が続き海の透明度に期待してなかったのですが
とても綺麗な場所に案内していただき
楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
体力や泳ぎに自信がなくて安心です！

We participated as a group of two, and the guide was exclusive to us. Osaka from B-nature was a veteran, kind, and very attentive. He took many wonderful photos for us, and both the Blue Cave and Osaka were amazing. Thank you very much.

2名で参加しましたが、ガイドさん貸し切りでした。
B-natureのオオサカさんはベテランで親切、丁寧でとても良い方でした。
沢山の素晴らしい写真を撮っていただき、青の洞窟もオオサカさんも最高でした。ありがとうございました。

A trip with my daughter.
We were blessed with great weather, which I was worried about, and we had the best time.
A magical island surrounded by 360° green sea... it was truly moving.
I can't believe there is a place like this in Japan!!
During my first snorkeling experience, with kind guidance, I was able to see colorful fish nibbling on the coral and a sea turtle on the bottom.
I was amazed by the clarity of the water.
Thanks to taking motion sickness medication, I didn't get seasick, and although it was a half-day course, it was a fulfilling and memorable time.
Thank you to all the staff at Rise Ishigaki Island.

娘との二人旅。
心配していた天気にも恵まれ最高の時を過ごす事が出来ました。
360℃グリーンな海に囲まれた幻の島
…感動です。
日本にこんな所があったなんて！！
初めてのシュノーケリングは親切なご指導もあり
サンゴをついばむ色とりどりの魚や底にいた海亀も見る事が出来ました。
海の透明度の高さにはびっくりです。
酔い止め薬を飲んでいた効果か、船酔いする事もなく、半日のコースでしたが充実した思い出に残る時間でした。
ライズ石垣島のスタッフの皆様、ありがとうございました。

I participated with my husband.

Including other guests, there were a total of eight people.

We chose canoeing and received a lecture at the same time as those who chose SUP. We experienced it for about 40 to 50 minutes, and then went to Shinjo Beach for snorkeling. The instructor was nice, but perhaps due to being young and inexperienced, there were some delays during the check-in process (it took a bit too long...). We moved from the canoe to Shinjo Beach by car, but there were no clear instructions for the meeting point, and everyone was left waiting outside, which was a bit troublesome. I think there is room for improvement.

On the day of the event, we gathered at 8:30, did canoeing for about 40 to 50 minutes, moved to Shinjo Beach, and snorkeled for about an hour, finishing around noon. It was relatively light and enjoyable, so I think families and elderly people can participate with confidence.

夫と参加しました。

他のお客さん含め、全員で８名でした。

私たちはカヌーを選択し、SUPを選択した方たちと同時にレクチャーを受け、4、５０分くらい体験をし、
次のシュノーケルの新城海岸に行きました。
インストラクターのかたは、良い方だったのですが、若くて慣れていないのか、
受付集合時のもたつきや(ちょっと時間がかかりすぎてました...)、
カヌーから各自新城海岸へ車で移動しましたが、その集合場所も明確な指示がなく、
みんな外で待たされて困っていたので、
改善の余地があるのかなと思いました。

当日は８時半集合で、
4、５０分ほどカヌーをし、
新城海岸へ移動をし、
１時間ほどシュノーケルをやって、12時位の解散でした。
わりとライトな内容で景色を楽しめるので、
家族連れや高齢のかたでも安心して参加できると思います。

The guidance was very thorough, making it enjoyable even for beginners! I was also really helped by the recommendations for shops in Ishigaki Island. They took over 100 wonderful photos, and the guide's stories were incredibly interesting, making for a very fulfilling time! ^_^

丁寧に教えていただけたので、初心者でも楽しめました！石垣島のオススメのお店についても教えてくださり、凄く助かりました！素敵な写真も100枚以上撮ってくださり、ガイドさんのお話も凄く面白くて、とても充実した時間になりました^_^

In the morning, due to the weather conditions, some activities were changed (we even experienced the subtropical weather!). Thanks to the staff prioritizing safety, I had an amazing time exploring the Blue Cave and zip-lining over the river!

During the lunch break, we had our meal at a location featured in the advertisement on the transport vehicle. In the afternoon, we had our first experience with SUP, starting with a briefing before cruising through the subtropical jungle (mangroves). The areas thick with mangroves were surprisingly cool, and I got so immersed in the activities that I lost track of time!

The conversations with Shintaro, Taro, and Kuma were entertaining and filled with interesting trivia, making the journey enjoyable. They also took plenty of photos, making it a fantastic day that will be a cherished memory for me.

午前中は天候の都合でアクティビティの一部が変更になりましたが（亜熱帯らしさの天候も体験！）スタッフさんが安全を第一に考えていただいたおかげで青の洞窟探検と川でターザンするのをめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！
昼休憩では移動車の広告に載っている場所で昼食を済まし
午後からは初のSUPでは初めにレクチャーを受けてから亜熱帯ジャングル（ヒルギ）の中を巡回しました。ヒルギが生い茂っている所は意外と涼しくて時間を忘れてしまうぐらいアクティビティに没入できました！
シンタロウさん、タロウさん、クマさんのトークも面白く＆豆知識が冴え渡って移動中も楽しむ事ができたのと写真もたくさん撮っていただいて自分の中の記憶と記録に残る最高な1日になりました。
