All Reviews for Snorkeling

The content was compact and well-organized, and the staff were very polite, allowing us to have a wonderful time. They were very kind to the children, and my son has expressed a desire to go again. We were able to take lovely photos on the phantom island, but unfortunately, there was no underwater camera service during snorkeling, so we couldn't capture any memorable photos. It was great that the staff remembered our conversations on the boat and helped us look for the clownfish we wanted to see, as well as explained the corals and fish in a clear and gentle manner.

内容はコンパクトによくまとまっていて、スタッフの方も大変丁寧で楽しい時間を過ごせました。子供に大変優しく息子もまた行きたいと申しております。ただ幻の島では素敵なお写真を撮っていただけたのですが、シュノーケリング中は水中カメラサービスがなかったので、思い出の写真が残らず残念でした。スタッフの方が船内での会話を覚えてくださり、見たかったカクレクマノミを探してくださったり、珊瑚や魚の説明を分かりやすく優しく教えてくださったのはとても良かったです。

I participated in the snorkeling with sea turtles at Awaoren Beach, but the meeting place was a bit hard to find. When I arrived at the port, the shuttle staff quickly found me, so there were no issues with the transfer to Awaoren Beach. For those doing the sea turtle snorkeling, they provide life jackets and snorkeling gear for the entire day, so there's no need to bring your own. The snorkeling at Tokashiki Beach not only includes sea turtles but also takes you to beautiful coral areas, which I think is quite a good deal. I recommend it if you want to experience the beautiful waters of the Kerama Islands.

阿波連ビーチと海ガメシュノーケルに参加しましたが、集合場所がいまいち分かりずらかったです。
港に着くと送迎の方が直ぐに見つけてくれて阿波連ビーチまでの送迎は問題ありませんでした。
海ガメシュノーケルもする方は一日中ライフジャケット、シュノーケルギア等をレンタルしてくれるので自分のものは持っていく必要はないです。
とかくしビーチの海ガメシュノーケルは海ガメのみならず綺麗な珊瑚のあるところまでガイドしてくれるのでかなりお得だと思います。
慶良間諸島の綺麗な海を体験したければおすすめします。

This was my second trip to Ishigaki Island in five years. This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour with RISE. I have joined snorkeling tours at other tourist spots, but I felt that the explanations for snorkeling were very thorough. Additionally, the young new staff member from Hokkaido was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. Since I couldn't travel abroad during the COVID-19 pandemic, it had been a while since I visited Ishigaki Island, but I was very satisfied to see the corals glowing in shades of blue and red, along with the colorful tropical fish. I would like to repeat this experience the next time I visit Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

今回は5年ぶり2回目の石垣島旅行。今回のシュノーケルは、RISEさんのツアーに参加しました。他観光地でシュノーケリングツアー参加してきましたが、シュノーケリングの説明はとても丁寧だと感じました。また、北海道出身の若い新人スタッフさんの対応がとても良く楽しかったです。コロナ禍で海外に行けないので久しぶりの石垣島でしたが、青や赤の光を放っているかのような珊瑚に色とりどりの熱帯魚を鑑賞し、とても満足です。また、石垣島へ行く際はリピートさせて頂きたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。

I received a call the day before the event, and due to strong winds, the SUP at Kawahira Bay was changed to the river, and we couldn't go to the Blue Cave for snorkeling. I was really looking forward to the Blue Cave, so it was disappointing, but since it was due to the weather, I decided to participate.

In the morning, we did SUP on the river. All the other participants were in canoes. Since it was my first time doing SUP, I was worried about capsizing, but thanks to the very thorough instructions, I was able to finish without falling into the river. Along the way, they also explained about the mangroves, allowing us to enjoy nature.

I brought my phone in a waterproof case just in case, but the staff took plenty of photos, so it wasn't necessary. (I even received the data at the end.)

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling a short drive from the island terminal. At the end of October, it was a bit chilly to go into the sea, but they lent us wetsuits, which was reassuring. We were able to see a lot of fish and thoroughly enjoy the ocean.

Overall, the staff's service was outstanding. They also recommended restaurants in Ishigaki Island, and everyone was very friendly and wonderful. Thank you very much.

参加前日に電話があり、強風のため波が荒いとのことで川平湾でのSUPは川に変更に、シュノーケリングは青の洞窟には行けないとのことでした。
青の洞窟は楽しみにしていたので残念でしたが、天候のことなので仕方ないねと参加を決めました。

午前中は川でSUPをしました。私たち以外の参加者はみんなカヌーでの参加でした。SUPは初めてだったので転覆したりしないか不安でしたが、とても丁寧に教えてくださったおかげで無事に川に落ちることなく終えることができました。途中でマングローブの説明などもしてくださり、自然を感じながら楽しむことができました。
一応防水ケースに入れて携帯を持っていきましたが、スタッフの方々がたくさん写真も撮ってくださったので必要ありませんでした。(最後にデータも貰えました)

午後は離島ターミナルから少し車で行ったところでシュノーケリングでした。10月の終わりで海に入るには肌寒かったのですが、ウェットスーツを貸してくださったので安心でした。魚もたくさん見ることができ、海を満喫することができました。

全体を通して、スタッフの方々の対応が素晴らしかったです。
石垣島のおすすめのレストランなども教えてくださり、親しみやすくみなさんとても素敵な方々でした。
ありがとうございました。

I started with SUP! I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but thanks to the guidance from Nakamura-san, I was able to do it. At first, we practiced freely in the calm bay and took some photos, and then we ventured a little outside the bay to feel the difference in the waves. By that time, I had gotten used to it, so it was really enjoyable.

After that, we moved to Shinjo Beach to look for sea turtles and went snorkeling. Luckily, we encountered about 4 to 5 turtles, both big and small. After seeing the turtles, we went to see Nemo and the fish living in the coral, and we had a great time before returning to the beach.

You can have photos taken while SUPing and snorkeling, so it's fine to go hands-free. I was very satisfied to have photos taken with the sea turtles too! The instructors are very kind and teach you well, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind! I highly recommend it.

Lastly, thank you very much, Nakamura-san.

最初にSUPをしました！SUPの上で立てるかどうか不安でしたが、レクチャーしてくれた中村さんの指導のかいあって立つことができました。最初は波の穏やかな湾内で自由に練習したり、写真を撮って貰ったりして、その後湾内から少し外に出て波の違いを感じます。だいぶ慣れた後なので楽しくできました。
その後、新城海岸へ移動してウミガメさんを探してシュノーケルをします。ラッキーなことに大きい子や小さい子4〜5匹くらいに会えました。
ウミガメさんを見てから珊瑚に住むニモやお魚を見に行きたっぷり楽しんで海岸へ戻りました。
SUPとシュノーケルの写真は撮って貰えるので手ぶらで行っても大丈夫です。ウミガメさんと一緒にも撮って貰えて大満足です♬
インストラクターの方が親切に教えてくれるので安心して楽しむことができます！オススメです。
最後に中村さんどうもありがとうございました。

Yuki, our guide, was very kind and cute, and just talking with her was already a lot of fun! She properly guided us during the SUP and took beautiful photos for us! We also got to see a lot of sea turtles! The current was strong, but she made sure we were safe while proceeding, so I felt secure swimming. When I come back to Miyako Island, I will definitely come back to do SUP with the lovely Yuki!

ガイドのゆうきさんがとても優しくて可愛くてお話しているだけでも充分楽しかったです♪
サップも写真の誘導もちゃんとしていただき
綺麗な写真をとっていただけました！
海亀さんも、たくさん会えました！
流れが早かったですが、安全を確認しながら
進行していただけたので安心して泳げました
また宮古島に来た時は可愛いゆうきさんに
会いにサップしに来ます！

I had my first SUP experience and snorkeling trip in Okinawa with a friend! We went snorkeling in the morning and did SUP in the afternoon. The water was incredibly clear during snorkeling, and I was able to see not only fish but also sea turtles! It was so cute to see the sea turtles while they were eating (*ˊᵕˋ*)♡ Additionally, the instructor took beautiful underwater photos, which were really stunning✨ I also got to meet clownfish, and it was so much fun!

In the afternoon's SUP session, I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the instructor was very thorough in teaching us, so I was able to get on the board relatively quickly! They also provided advice in difficult spots and connected the boards to prevent us from drifting apart, so I felt well taken care of ( ⸝⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝⸝ ). I was really moved to see the fish in the sea even from the board. I truly had a wonderful experience on my first trip to Miyako Island! I highly recommend it✨✨

友人と沖縄旅行で初のsup体験とシュノーケリングをしました！
午前中にシュノーケリングをして、午後からsupの流れでした
シュノーケリングでは、本当に海が澄んでいて魚はもちろんウミガメまでしっかり見ることができました！ ウミガメが食事をしているところは本当に可愛かったです(*ˊᵕˋ*)♡ また、インストラクターの方が水中で写真を撮ってくれるのですが、その写真も本当に綺麗で素敵でした✨
クマノミにも会えてすっごく楽しかったです！
午後のsupでは、初めてのこともありちょっと不安だったのですがインストラクターの方が本当に丁寧に教えてくれたので開始から割とすぐに乗ることができました！
また、難しいところではアドバイスをくれたり、ボードを繋げて流されないようにしてくれたりしてくれるので置いていかれることはなくしっかりと見てくれます( ⸝⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝⸝ )
ボードからでも下の海の魚がみれて凄く感動しました
初の宮古島で本当にステキな体験ができたなと思いました！本当にオススメです✨✨

It's a reliable company.
They provided transportation, and although the hotel was a bit hard to find, they took me right to the front of the hotel on the return trip.
I participated alone, but the staff on the boat were cheerful, which made me feel uplifted as well.
Thanks to the attentive service and thoughtfulness of the staff who took care of me, I didn't feel lonely or isolated. I'm grateful for that.
The fun dive had regulars and veterans, but everyone was gentlemanly, and I think it's a service that attracts good customers.

大手で安心。
送迎もあり、判りにくいホテルだったが復路はホテル前まで送ってもらった。
一人での参加だったが、ボート内もスタッフが明るく振舞っており、見ていてこちらも明るくなる。
特に担当してくれたスタッフのきめ細かい対応と心遣いにより、孤独感や疎外感もなかった。これには感謝。
ファンダイブでは常連やベテランばかりだったが、みな紳士的で、よい顧客が残るサービスだと思った。

We came to Ishigaki Island for our honeymoon. Both my husband and I were really looking forward to our first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience! The weather was cloudy, but it cleared up while we were paddling, and we were amazed by the beautiful Kabira Bay.

The guide who assisted us was very kind, funny, and absolutely the best! He taught us how to paddleboard in a very thorough manner, and our first SUP experience was incredibly fun and refreshing. We were also very grateful for all the photos he took for us.

After SUP, we had a snorkeling experience. We were supposed to go to the Blue Cave, but due to rough seas, we went to a different location, which was also very beautiful!

Even when I suddenly got scared during the experience, he kindly supported me, explained various things about the underwater world, and took many photos underwater. We snorkeled in quite deep waters and were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming and the stunning underwater scenery that we usually can't see!

Both the SUP and snorkeling, as well as the guide, were absolutely amazing!!! I want to do SUP and snorkeling again when we travel to Ishigaki Island next time!

The photos you sent us were so wonderful that my husband and I were deeply moved. Thank you so much. We created the best memories!

今回新婚旅行で石垣島に来ました。
私も主人も初めてのsupで凄くたのしみにしてました！
天気は曇だったんですが、supしてる時は晴れてくれてとても綺麗な川平湾に感動しました✩.*˚

ガイドして下さったお兄さんはとても優しくて面白くて最高でした！
supの仕方も丁寧に教えて頂き、初めてのsupは
すっごくすっごく楽しくて、気持ちよかったです(^^)
写真も沢山撮ってくれて、とても有難かったです(^^)

supの次はシュノーケル体験でした。
青の洞窟予定でしたが、海が荒れててできないということで、違う場所でのシュノーケルでしたが、その場所もとても綺麗でした！

体験する時になって急に怖くなった私にも優しく対応してくれて、海の中の事も色々説明してくれたり、水中の中でも沢山写真を撮っていただきました。
結構深い場所までシュノーケルに行き、ウミガメが泳いでる姿を見れたり、普段見ることのできない海の中の景色に感動しました！！

supもシュノーケルもお兄さんも、全てにおいて最高でした！！！！！
又、石垣島に旅行に行った時はsupとシュノーケルをしたいです！！

送って下さった写真も素敵すぎて、主人と感動しておりました。
本当にありがとうございました。
最高の思い出ができました(^^)

I participated in a SUP and snorkeling tour at Kabira Bay! It was my first experience with SUP, but the guide's instructions were clear, and I was able to ride easily. During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and beautiful fish! Additionally, while we were moving, the guide shared recommendations for spots on Ishigaki Island and taught us about its history, which added to the enjoyment of my trip. I had a fantastic time on this tour, and it became a wonderful memory! When I come back to Ishigaki Island next time, I would love to join this tour again!

川平湾SUPとシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました！SUPは初めての体験でしたが、ガイドの方の指導が分かりやすく簡単に乗ることが出来ました。シュノーケリングではウミガメや綺麗な魚を見ることが出来ました！また、移動中にもガイドの方から石垣島のおすすめスポットや石垣島の歴史等を教えていただき、その後の旅の楽しみも増えました。凄く良いツアーに参加させていただき、良い思い出になりました！次に石垣島に来る時は、またこのツアーに参加したいと思います！

I participated in a one-day tour for SUP and sea turtle snorkeling.

First, we experienced SUP at Imugya Marine Garden starting at 8:30. It was my first time trying SUP, but the instructions on how to stand and paddle were very thorough, so I was able to stand up quickly! Although the weather was bad with strong winds and some rain, the water was clear enough to see fish.

The snorkeling in the afternoon was scheduled for 14:30. I had half given up hope of seeing sea turtles since the guide mentioned we might not see any, but we encountered one just before the end of the session!

I think the weather conditions were poor that day, but I still had a great time and was very satisfied!

SUPとウミガメシュノーケリングの1日ツアーに参加しました。

まず最初に8:30からイムギャーマリンガーデンにてSUPを体験。今回がSUP初体験でしたが、立ち方や漕ぎ方を丁寧に説明してくださるのですぐに立てるようになりました！当日は強風で天気も悪く、雨が降るタイミングもありましたが海の透明度は十分で魚も見ることができました。

午後のシュノーケリングは時間が空いて14:30から。ウミガメは見れないかも…という話をガイドさんからされていたので半ば諦めていましたが、終了時間間際に出会うことができました！

天候的にはコンディションが悪い日だったとは思いますが、それでも十分に楽しめたので大満足です！

The staff explained everything brightly and politely, and they were considerate throughout.

It was amazing to swim with sea turtles and fish! They took many photos underwater that we couldn't have captured ourselves! Thank you for a wonderful time.

スタッフが明るく丁寧に説明していただいたり終始お気遣いいただきました。

海亀やお魚と一緒に泳ぐ事が出来て最高でした！
自分たちでは撮れないような写真も海の中でたくさん撮って頂きました！
素敵なひと時をありがとうございました。

It was great that they picked us up close to the hotel, so we could join right after arriving in Okinawa. There was plenty of time for snorkeling, and I was very satisfied to encounter a sea turtle this time! However, even though the boat is relatively large, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting seasick.

ホテルの近くまで迎えに来ていただけるので、沖縄に到着した後にすぐ参加出来て良かったです。
シュノーケリングの時間もたっぷりとあり、今回はウミガメにも出会うことが出来て大満足です！
ただ、船は大きめなのですが、揺れに弱い方は酔い止めを必ず飲んでから参加することをオススメします。

I received notice the day before that the snorkeling location would be changed due to the typhoon, so this time it was switched to just SUP.

It was my first experience with SUP. On the day, there was a bit of a strong headwind coming from the sea, and since it was my first time, I was worried about whether I could paddle. However, after receiving a thorough lecture and practicing while sitting, I was able to stand up and paddle more easily than I expected. The weather was clear, and the surrounding greenery looked vibrant, plus I could see fish, making the scenery very beautiful. On the way back, I had a tailwind, so it was easy to move without paddling.

Lying on the SUP and listening to the sound of the waves while looking up at the blue sky was incredibly beautiful! Since I couldn't do many activities due to the typhoon, I was able to take a lot of photos and create wonderful memories! Even as a beginner, I enjoyed it without falling even once, so I recommend this tour to anyone who hasn't tried it before.

前日に台風の影響でシュノーケリングの場所が変更になると連絡をいただき、今回はSUPのみに変更していただきました。

初めてのSUP体験でした。
当日は海からやや強めの向かい風が吹いていて、初めてということもあり漕げるか不安でした。
最初に丁寧にレクチャーしてもらったり、座って練習したりして思ったよりすんなり立って漕ぐことができました。快晴ということもあり周りの緑も映えて、魚も見えたりと景色もとても良かったです。帰りは追い風で漕がなくても進むので楽ちんでした。
SUPに寝転んで波の音を聴きながら見上げた青空がとってもとってもとっても綺麗でした！
台風の影響でなかなかアクティビティが出来なかったので、写真もたくさん撮っていただいて最高の思い出ができました！
初心者でも一度も落ちずに楽しめたので、やったことない人にもおすすめのツアーです。

It was a SUP experience in unstable weather, but our guide made it enjoyable, allowing us to appreciate it as a valuable experience. It was great to see many creatures since it was raining. The mangroves were very mysterious.
It was my first time on a SUP, and I was worried about falling, but it was much more stable than I expected, and I got used to it quickly. The freedom of maneuvering was also high, and it was fun!
Next, I would like to participate in a night tour.

天候が不安定な中でのSUP体験でしたが、ガイドさんが楽しませて下さったのでこれもまた貴重な体験として楽しむことができました。雨が降っていたのでいきものがたくさん見られてよかったです。マングローブはとても神秘的でした。
SUPは初めてで、落ちたりしないか不安でしたが思っていたよりも全然安定していてすぐに慣れました。操縦の自由度も高く、面白かったです！
次は夜のツアーに参加してみたいです。

I apologize for the late post, but the experience was truly moving, like a dream.

It's something you can't experience at the beach or in an aquarium. The desire to peek into the ocean can only be satisfied by this experience, and it's quite addictive. I can understand why you'd want to go again.

A beautiful staff member accompanies each small group, guiding you like a mother duck, so you can just relax and enjoy. Diving might seem challenging, but snorkeling is enjoyable even with kids, and adults can rediscover their childlike wonder and get completely absorbed in it.

Wearing a wetsuit helps you float, but moving underwater requires some stamina. Even if you get tired, the staff member carries a float board, so you can hold onto it for a break and get pulled along, but make sure to save some energy to return to the boat.

Fortunately, I was able to meet my long-awaited sea turtle, and chasing it while swimming alongside was so much fun. The fish were truly tropical, friendly, and swam around me in groups. I think it was thanks to being taken to great spots.

It's definitely better to spend a full day visiting three points instead of just half a day. If you're coming to Okinawa, you should dedicate enough time for it.

Additionally, I even got to fly, which was an easy experience and a rare opportunity. Honestly, it felt less like flying and more like floating, which was amazing.

The weather was favorable, and I finished the day in a good mood. Although I did get sunburned.

I was exhausted, but Kerama was fantastic. It's completely different from the beaches on the main island. I highly recommend entrusting this experience to this operating company for a valuable adventure.

投稿遅くなっちゃいましたが、夢の如き感動がありますね。

海水浴では味わえないし、水族館でも味わえない。
海の中を覗きたくなる欲求を満足させるには、体験、覗いたからこそわかるものだし、中毒性ありだなぁ。
また、行きたくなるのも分かります。

数名のグル－プに一人、担当さん(美人のお姉さん)が付いてくれますし、カルガモの親のごとく、引率してくれますので、任せておけばOK。
ダイビングは、ハードル高そうですが、シュノ－ケリングなら、子供連れでも楽しめますし、大人の方が童心にかえって、夢中になれます。

ウエットスーツを着るので浮きますが、海の中の移動は、体力いりますね。
疲れても、担当さんが浮きボードをもっておられるので、それにつかまって、
休憩、引っ張ってもらえますが、船に戻る体力はのこしておきましょう。

運よく、念願の海カメにも会えましたし、並走しての追いかけっこ楽しかったな。魚もホントに熱帯魚で、人懐っこく、わらわらと寄ってきてくれます。
イイポイントに連れて行っていただいたおかげかな。

やはり、半日ではなく、一日しっかり3ポイント回れるのが良いですね。
沖縄に来るからには、しっかり、時間を当てないとね。

追加で、空も飛んじゃいましたが、これも手軽に体験できて、貴重な体験でした。ほんと、飛んでるというよりは、浮遊感がたまりません。

天候にも恵まれ、気分よく、終えました。
日焼けが痛かったですけどね。

クタクタにはなりましたが、慶良間サイコ－でした。
本島の海水浴場とは、まったく違います。
ぜひ、この運営会社様に任せて、貴重な体験を。

I was picked up at the island terminal, and during the car ride, the guide shared various information about Ishigaki Island while we traveled for about an hour. We started with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). After a brief lecture on how to ride the SUP, we leisurely moved across the calm sea without any waves, which felt absolutely wonderful.

After that, we drove again and had about an hour of free time for lunch at Kabira Bay. There was plenty of time to ride the glass-bottom boat, but since we had snorkeling planned afterward, my friend and I decided to take out some sata andagi and drinks from a nearby shop and spent some time just gazing at the sea.

After our free time, we drove again to go snorkeling. We walked over some rocky areas, but they provided marine shoes, which was reassuring (they asked for our shoe sizes in advance). After about a 10-minute walk, we reached the snorkeling spot. As we floated in the incredibly clear water, we were able to see many fish and sea turtles! At the end, we were also guided to a cave where we could see stalactites, which left us very satisfied.

I thought there would be a shower available, but after snorkeling, we stopped by a river to rinse off with river water. However, since I would be taking a shower back at the hotel, it wasn't a problem at all. My friend had a bit of trouble with fogging in her goggles during snorkeling, but the staff quickly helped by going to buy some mineral water, which was a great relief. They also took many photos and sent them to us via Line, so we were very satisfied!

It was a tour I would definitely like to join again. Thank you very much!

離島ターミナルまで迎えに来ていただき、車中ではガイドの方から石垣島の色々な情報を教えてもらいながら小一時間移動して、まずはSUPから始めました。
初めにSUPの乗り方について簡単にレクチャーを受けた後、波もなく穏やかな海をのんびり移動、最高に気持ちよかったです。
その後また車で移動、川平湾でいったん昼食を兼ねてフリータイムが１時間程度ありました。
グラスボートに乗る時間も充分にありますが、この後シュノーケリング予定なので私と友人は近くのお店でサーターアンダギーとドリンクをテイクアウトして、ぼーっと海を眺めて過ごしました笑

フリータイム後はまたまた車で移動して、シュノーケリングへ。
結構岩場を歩きますが、マリンシューズを貸してくれるので安心です。（事前に靴のサイズ聞かれました。）
１０分程度歩いてシュノーケリングスポットへ。
驚くほど透明度の高い海をのんびり漂うように移動していると、たくさんの魚やウミガメを見ることができました！
最後、洞窟もちょっと案内してもらえて、鍾乳石も見れたので大満足です。

シャワーはあるのかと思っていましたが、シュノーケリング終わってから途中川に寄って川の水で潮を流しましたがどうせホテル帰ってからシャワーを浴びるのでこれでも問題ないです笑
友人がシュノーケリングの途中から目に曇り止めが入ったようで、目が開けられなくなるトラブルがありましたが、ミネラルウォーターを買いに行ってくれたりと迅速に対応していただき大変助かりました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれてLineで送ってくれたので大満足です！
また是非参加したいツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

The wind was strong and the waves were high, but the captain and crew chose a spot with high visibility and fewer waves, allowing all participants to have an amazing snorkeling experience. It turned out to be an incredibly fun day. Swimming alongside sea turtles for a long time and enjoying the beautiful Kerama Blue sea will remain a lifelong memory.

Next, I would like to try experience diving in Kerama Blue.

To those who will be participating, since you'll be on the boat or in the sea all day, I think it's a good idea to prepare some motion sickness medication just in case.

I thought I was strong against motion sickness, but there were moments when I felt a bit uneasy, so I was glad to have the medication.

風も強く波も高かったけどそれでも透明度の高い波の少ないポイントをチョイスしてくれた船長さんやクルーの皆さん参加者の皆さんでとても良いシュノーケリングができてめちゃくちゃ楽しい１日になりました。
ウミガメとも長い時間一緒に泳げた事や慶良間ブルーのきれいな海が一生残る思い出になりました。

次は慶良間ブルーの中で体験ダイビングをしてみたいです。


これから参加される方々へ
１日中船上か海の中なので酔い止を一応用意された方が良いと思います。

自分も強い方だと思っていましたが途中ヤバイかなって思った時もあったので薬があって良かったと思いました。

Due to strong winds, we decided not to go to Kabira Bay as we had wanted, and I received a call the day before asking if I would like to change to a different safe location. I was hesitant about participating, but I ended up changing to a half-day snorkeling course. The sea was beautiful, and I was satisfied to see many corals and fish! A friend who joined me seemed to have hit a rock and ended up with a scrape, so it might be a good idea to wear swimwear like tights when participating. Although it was a sudden course change, I’m glad I participated, and I would consider changing courses again if there are any changes in the future.

強風ということて行きたかった川平湾に行かないことになり、別の安全な場所でのコース変更はどうですかと前日にお電話を頂きました。参加を悩みましたが、半日のシュノーケルのコースに変更していただきました。海もきれいで、サンゴも魚もたくさん見ることができて満足です！一緒に行った友人が岩に当たったようで擦り傷を作ってしまっていたので、参加する際はタイツのような水着での参加がいいかもしれません。急なコース変更でしたが、参加して良かったと思うので、また参加の際変更があってもコース変更で検討したいと思いました。

Due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we went snorkeling at a different spot, but the sea there was also incredibly beautiful, and we had a great time.
It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding, and there were moments when it was a bit physically demanding, but the guide helped us out, which was a relief!
I didn't bring my smartphone, so I was very satisfied that we were able to get beautiful photos taken.
The guide was very kind, and we had a fulfilling day. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

台風の影響で青の洞窟は行けず、別ポイントでのシュノーケリングとなりましたが、そちらもすごく綺麗な海で十分に楽しめました。
SUPは初めての体験で体力的に少ししんどいタイミングもありましたが、ガイドの方が引っ張ってくださり、助かりました！
スマホを持っていかなかったので、綺麗な写真を撮っていただけたのも大満足です。
ガイドの方が大変親切で充実した1日を過ごすことができました。また機会があればお願いしたいです。

I went to Ishigaki with four friends in early September. Speaking of Ishigaki, it's all about Kabira Bay! I wanted to swim in the beautiful sea there, but it turned out swimming was prohibited... So, I searched for places around Kabira Bay where we could enjoy the sea and found this tour.

This tour allows you to fully enjoy the sea in one day, with SUP in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon! It was my first time trying SUP, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to move forward easily, and it became really fun as I got used to it. During snorkeling, I saw many fish I had never seen before, and the guide took lots of pictures underwater, so even a month later, I can look back at those memories.

For lunch, we were dropped off at Kabira Bay, where we could see the beautiful sea with glass-bottom boats floating on it.

If you come to Ishigaki, make sure to enjoy Kabira with this tour!

9月上旬に友達4人と石垣に行きました。石垣といえば川平湾！そこの綺麗な海で泳ぎたいなと思ったところ、遊泳禁止との事だったので…川平湾周辺で海を楽しめる所がないか探して、このツアーを見つけました。

このツアーでは午前中はSUP、午後はシュノーケリングと、一日で海を満喫できます！SUPは初めてだったのですが、コツを掴めばどんどん進んでいけるので、慣れてくるととても楽しいです。シュノーケリングでは見たこともない魚をたくさん見る事ができ、しかもガイドさんが海の中の写真をたくさん撮ってくれたので、1ヶ月たった今も思い出を見返す事ができてます。

ランチは川平湾で下ろして頂いたので、ガラスボートが浮かぶ綺麗な海を見ることができました。

石垣に来たらこのツアーで川平を楽しんでください！

Due to the impact of the typhoon and the number of participants, there were changes up until the morning of the event, but I'm really glad it was carried out safely. The staff were kind and had a wealth of knowledge about marine life. We were able to see three types of turtles and even a cobia that was stuck to a shell. The staff shared videos they took, which allowed us to see everything more clearly. There was also a service for renting underwater cameras, and the data was easy to download. Since regular cameras and smartphones can't capture the fun memories underwater, this is a high point. Not only did we get to see the rare and highly venomous sea snake, but the staff even dove in and caught it with their bare hands for us to touch. My friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, had no problems and enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much!

台風の影響や参加人数の関係で当日朝まで変更があったりしましたが、無事に決行出来て本当に良かったです。スタッフの皆さん親切で海の生き物の知識も豊富です。亀探しも三枚(?)の亀や甲羅に張り付いたコバン鮫まで見れましたし、スタッフの方が撮った動画をシェアしてくれるのでより鮮明に見られます。水中カメラ貸し出しのサービスもあり、データも簡単にダウンロード出来ます、普通のカメラやスマホでは海の中での楽しい思い出を残せないので、ここは高ポイントです　珍しいという猛毒を持つ海蛇も見られただけでなくなんとスタッフが潜って素手で捕まえてきて触らせてくれました　カナヅチのシュノーケル初体験のツレも問題なくとても楽しんでいました。どうも有難うございました。

I participated with my friend and her child. It was my first time snorkeling in the Kerama Islands, so I was really looking forward to it, and it was truly breathtakingly beautiful. During the snorkeling, a staff member accompanied our small group, which made it easy to participate even with a child. The lunch bento was delicious, and the staff were all very kind, even joining us when my child wanted to go into the water! After our third snorkeling session, the staff member leading us said there was no way we wouldn't see a sea turtle in these conditions, and they successfully found one for us! It was my first time seeing one, so it became a wonderful memory for me, and my child kept talking about the turtle and snorkeling, so I think it became a memorable experience for them as well. It turned out to be a lovely memory from our trip! I would definitely like to use this service again the next time I visit Okinawa!

友達親子と3人で参加させていただきました。
慶良間諸島でのシュノーケルは初めてだったので凄く楽しみにしていましたし、実際に参加してホントに感動するくらい綺麗でした。シュノーケルの際は数人のグループにスタッフの方が1人ついてくださり子供を連れていても安心して参加できました。お昼休憩のお弁当も美味しかったですし、子供が海に入りたがっていると一緒に入ってくれたりとスタッフの方全員がとてもいい方でした！3回目のシュノーケル終わりにこのコンディションで海亀が見れないはずはないと、引率のスタッフの方が探してくださり見事海亀を見る事ができました！私は初めて見れたので凄く思い出になったのは勿論ですが子供もずっと亀やシュノーケルの話をしていたので思い出になったんだなと思いまし。旅の素敵な思い出になりました！
次回沖縄に行く際にもぜひ利用させていただきたいです！！

I chose this course because I wanted to relax on a solo trip. The high-speed boat does sway, but I took motion sickness medication and it was fine. When we arrived at the port, I felt a bit guilty that I was the only passenger during the transfer to the beach, but the driver slowed down at a scenic spot, which made me happy. The beach was truly beautiful and soothing. The staff were also kind, which was great. While snorkeling, I was searching for sea turtles and was about to give up when I turned around and saw a sea turtle right behind me eating! It was adorable to see the turtle come up for air. I was able to swim with it for a little while. It had a light blue tag on its fin for identification purposes. Just being able to see the sea turtle made me so happy. The lunch was delicious too. The view of the sea from the restaurant's terrace was beautiful. I was grateful for the facilities like showers, toilets, changing rooms, and a spin dryer that were well-equipped for the hotel. I made great memories by participating in this tour.

Unfortunately, due to the moral issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were many parents and couples who were not wearing masks and making noise in the high-speed boat and the waiting area outside. Additionally, there were couples who removed the signs indicating that certain seats were not to be used for social distancing and infection prevention. I understand that the boat staff cannot monitor everything, but I think it would be good to have announcements or explanations about the unusable seats during boarding.

一人旅でのんびりしたかったので、このコースにしました。高速船なので揺れますが、酔い止め飲んで大丈夫でした。港に着いてからビーチまでの送迎が、お客さんが私だけで申し訳ない気持ちになってしまいましたが、運転手さんが、絶景のところでスピードを落としてくださり、嬉しかったです。ビーチは本当にキレイで癒されます。スタッフの方たちも優しくて良かったです。シュノーケリングでウミガメを探していて、なかなか見つからず諦めかけた頃に、振り返ったら自分のすぐ後ろでウミガメがお食事中でした❗ウミガメが顔を水面から出して呼吸？したりと可愛かったです。少しだけですが一緒に泳ぐことができました。ヒレに個体識別用？の水色のタグが付いていました。ウミガメに会えただけで幸せでした。お昼も美味しかったです。（牛丼）レストランのテラスから望む海がキレイです。シャワーやトイレ、更衣室、脱水機などホテルのため設備が整っていてありがたかったです。このツアーに参加していい思い出ができました。
残念なのは、コロナ禍である中モラルの問題でしょうが、高速船の中や、外の待合室でもマスクしていないで騒ぐ親子やカップルも多く、また船の座席にわざわざソーシャルディスタンス、感染予防のためこの座席は使用できません。と張り紙がされているのに、その紙を外して座るおバカなカップルもいました。船のスタッフさんは、そこまで監視できないのでしょうけれど、せめて船内放送や乗船時に、張り紙の座席は使用不可と説明があってもいいのかなと思いました。

Amazing experience with lots of things to do, beautiful scenery both above and under water, we have seen many kinds of fish and also we were swimming with a turtle. Staff created amazing photos. Diving can be done up to 3 times and also parasailing.

In the package a single diving (~20 mins) is included, additional diving costs 5500 yen which was not disclosed until we were on the boat. Parasailing is also extra. It's actually understandable but this information should be properly disclosed, I though I could get 2 dives with the initial price.

I wanted to enjoy the beautiful sea on Ishigaki Island for the first time, so I made a reservation. I was staying very close to the meeting point, and they came to pick me up without any unpleasantness. I was happy to find that the guide had once lived in my hometown and was very friendly.

We set off with six people. They provided thorough guidance on safety precautions, which was reassuring. They took many photos and engaged in conversation, and despite the current COVID situation, they welcomed us warmly.

The sea was truly beautiful, and I was glad to see the lovely fish. They also provided information about the nearby islands. Additionally, they informed us about the threats to coral reefs, which made me think about how we can help protect the beautiful sea.

I believe this tour is definitely worth participating in. Thank you!

Since it was the same boat as the diving tour, it felt like diving was the priority. Even when entering the water, diving took precedence, and I was a bit annoyed to be kept waiting when I was ready to get in.

ダイビングツアーと同じ船なので、基本ダイビングが優先の印象でした。海に入るのもダイビング優先で、こちらは入水準備ができているのに待たされたのはちょっと嫌でした。

During my first trip to Ishigaki Island, I was blessed with good weather and was able to enjoy famous spots efficiently in just one day! The guide was very kind and provided great instructions for both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, which I really appreciated. We also took many beautiful photos, allowing me to keep wonderful memories. Additionally, I am grateful for the attentive responses to my detailed inquiries and questions during the reservation process. Thank you very much! I would love to request your services again next time!

次の機会もぜひお願いしたいです！！

The staff were kind and took a lot of photos, which made it feel like we were playing together, and that was great! It was nice to have the freedom to play however we wanted around the boat!

I couldn't find the photos we took, but I inquired a few days after the tour, and they kindly assisted me until the end, for which I am very grateful!

スタッフさんも親切で沢山写真撮っていただき、一緒に遊んでる感覚にもなれてよかったです！！船の周りであれば好きなように遊んで良かったので自由度もよかったです！！

撮った写真が見当たらなかったのですがツアーの後日に問い合わせたのですが最後まで親切に対応頂き深謝でした！！

I received swimming instruction from Wataru, and even as someone who struggles with swimming, I was able to meet a large sea turtle. I would love to go again if I have the chance.

担当のわたるんに泳ぎの指導をしてもらい泳ぎの苦手な私でも大きなウミガメさんにも会えました。また機会があったら行きたいです。
