All Reviews for Snorkeling

On the day of the trip, the weather was a bit bad, and since there were waves at the first beach, we went to a second location to go snorkeling. We quickly encountered a turtle, which swam right beside us for a while. There were also many fish, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand, so I highly recommend it.

当日は、少し天候が悪く、最初のビーチは波があったので2か所目の場所に行きシュノーケリングしました。すぐに亀と遭遇して、ずっとそばで泳いでいました。魚もたくさんいて、ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくて、とてもおすすめです。

I felt reassured participating in the tour as the staff was energetic, friendly, and very experienced in dealing with tourists. During the snorkeling, I was able to see various types of fish up close, which was great. Next time, I would like to try not only snorkeling but also diving in the ocean. While kayaking, I enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa while chatting with the guide.

元気もノリもよく、観光客に対する対応もとても手慣れている様子で安心してツアーに参加できました。
シュノーケリングでは様々な種類の魚を間近で見ることができてのよかったです。次はシュノーケルだけでなく、海の中を潜る体験をしてみたいです。
カヤックはガイドさんとお話ししながら沖縄のきれいな海を楽しむことができました。

It was a tour in the afternoon of February. We had no problem snorkeling while wearing wetsuits.

First, we saw a sea turtle. After watching it for a while, we were able to swim together. Next, we saw clownfish, followed by corals and other fish. Whether you want to see turtles or corals, both are accessible. Even those who are not confident in swimming can hold on and be fine. It's suitable for older participants like us as well. Those with swimming skills can also enjoy it.

Kugai, the handsome and kind tour guide, was excellent.

２月の午後のツアーでした。ウエットスーツを着て参加で問題なくシュノーケルできます。
まず、ウミガメさん居ました。しばらく見て上がってきたので一緒に泳げました。次はクマノミ、次にサンゴとお魚。カメさんを見たい人も、サンゴを見たい人もどちらも行けます。泳ぎに自信がない人も、つかまって泳げるので大丈夫です。私たちのような熟年者も大丈夫です。泳力のある方も楽しめます。
クガイさん、イケメン、優しいツアー引率最高です。

I was impressed by the clarity of the ocean. I obtained my diving license 23 years ago, but since my last entry was 15 years ago, I was worried, so I signed up for an introductory dive. I was able to do well on my first attempt, so I was allowed to do two additional dives, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa that I had always admired.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that there are also programs for divers who are challenging themselves after a long time.

Although my diving skills were not great, I am grateful for the careful guidance and support from the instructor who accompanied me. Thank you, Ito-san.

　海の透明度に感激しました。ライセンスを取って23年ですが最後のエントリーが15年前で心配だったので体験ダイビングで申し込みました。1回目うまく出来たのでその後2回の追加ダイブさせてもらい憧れだった沖縄の海を堪能できました。
　スタッフの方に聞くと久々挑戦のダイバー用の企画もあるとのことでした。
　下手くそなダイブでしたがお付き合いいただいたインストラクターの方の丁寧なご指導とガイドにに感謝しております。伊藤さんありがとうございました。

On the day of the trip, I received a notification that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, and I considered canceling. However, since we had already made it partway, we decided to go snorkeling instead.

I was surprised by the vibrant colors and the number of fish, which exceeded my expectations. The guide was really kind, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

Next time, I look forward to planning another trip to Okinawa and hopefully visiting the Blue Cave.

当日、青の洞窟へは波が高くて行けれないという連絡をいただき、キャンセルすることも考えましたが、途中まで行っていた事もあり、シュノーケリング をすることにしました。
想像以上の色とりどりの魚とその数にびっくりしました。案内の方も本当に親切で、楽しい時間となりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は青の洞窟へ行けることを楽しみにまた沖縄旅行を計画したいと思います。

I was worried because my daughter lacked confidence in swimming, but the instructor took her with a float, so we were able to enjoy ourselves as a parent and child without any worries. The cave was beautiful, but I was also very impressed by the stunning underwater scenery on the way there. I was concerned it would be cold in the sea during mid-winter, but it was not a problem at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable and not crowded! I think it's better to bring your own bath towel.

娘が泳ぎに自信がなくて心配しましたが、インストラクターさんが浮き輪で連れていってくれるので、安心して親子で楽しむことができました。
洞窟も綺麗ですが、行くまでの海中もとても綺麗で感動しました。
真冬の海で寒いのではと心配しましたが、全く問題なく逆に空いていて快適でした！
バスタオルは持参した方が、良いと思います。

I was worried that the sea in January might be cold, but I had a great time in a 5mm wetsuit and it was not cold at all. My second-grade daughter was initially scared to get in the water, but once she got used to it, she had a lot of fun and might have been the most excited of all (laughs). The winter sea has high visibility and is not crowded, so I highly recommend it! The beautiful blue color is something we won't forget, and it was a wonderful experience for both of us.

一月の海、寒いのかな…と心配していましたが、5ミリのウェットスーツで全然寒くなく楽しめました。
小2の娘も最初は入水を怖がっていましたが、慣れて来たら楽しくなって、一番はしゃいでいたかも（笑）
冬場の海、透明度も高く、混雑もしていないのでオススメです！
綺麗な青色、忘れないと、娘も言っていて、いい体験が出来ました。

This time, I had the opportunity to experience sea kayaking and snorkeling! We were given plenty of time for both activities, and I was able to enjoy them to my satisfaction! The guide was very kind, and I felt safe while experiencing both sea kayaking and snorkeling! The photos taken were beautiful, and it was great to have those memories captured! Next, I would like to try diving!

今回はシーカヤックとシュノーケリングを体験させていただきました！
どちらもたくさん時間を取っていただき満足するまでできました！！
ガイドさんもとても親切で、安心してシーカヤックもシュノーケリングも体験できました！撮っていただいた写真もきれいで思い出を写真として残せたものとても良かったです！
次はダイビングできたいと思います！！

Great organization and time management
Supportive when asking question about the program
Beautiful view and underwater shots

It was my first experience with sea kayaking, and I was fortunate with the weather, allowing us to go out to sea! The staff were very kind and fun, making it a truly enjoyable experience (*´ω｀*). The drone footage was even better than I expected, and I was really impressed! (I felt a bit embarrassed while filming, though, haha.) It was great to see so many fish in Okinawa while snorkeling! I was amazed when they came right up to me after I fed them!

シーカヤック初体験だったのですが、天候にも恵まれ沖まで行くことも出来ました！
スタッフの対応もとても親切で楽しい方で、とても楽しめました(*´ω｀*)
ドローン撮影が思っていたよりとても良く感動！(撮ってる時は少し恥ずかしかったです笑)
シュノーケルも沖縄の魚がたくさん見れて良かったです！
餌をあげたら目の前まで寄ってきたのは感動しました！

We participated as a family of four on January 2nd. The boat was shared with about 30 people, including those snorkeling and diving. Although it was sunny that day, the wind was cold, and it was very chilly during the ride and after getting out of the water, so I was glad I wore a down jacket. The underwater visibility was the best I've ever experienced while snorkeling! I could clearly see the seabed at 7-8 meters deep, and it felt like flying in the sky. The staff taught us the names of the fish and coral while we were snorkeling and took photos for us. On the boat, we chatted with the staff and other participants, and enjoyed lunch with Okinawan soba and shiratama zenzai. It was a fun and exhilarating day for not just the kids, but also for us as a couple. The staff were all cheerful and made sure that participants felt at ease, so I think it would be enjoyable even for solo travelers or those with children. I will definitely participate again when I go to Okinawa!

1/2に家族４人で参加しました。船はシュノーケルの人、ダイビングの人と相乗りで30人くらい乗り合わせていました。この日は晴れてはいましたが風が冷たく、移動中や海から上がった後はとても寒く、ダウンを着て行ってよかったです。海の中は今までシュノーケルした中で一番の透明度でした！7〜8mある海底もきれいに見え、空を飛んでいるようでした。スタッフの方がシュノーケル中に魚や珊瑚の名前をその都度教えてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれました。船の上ではスタッフの方や参加した方とおしゃべりしたり、ランチのソーキそばと白玉ぜんざいを食べました。子供たちだけでなく、私たち夫婦もアドレナリンが出まくった楽しくてはしゃいだ1日でした。スタッフの方たちは皆さん明るく参加した人が不安にならないように対応してくれるので、一人や子供連れの参加でも楽しく過ごせると思います。また沖縄に行ったら参加します！

This was my second time participating, and this time I joined with my parents. The content and service were both wonderful! I definitely want to recommend this course to my friends.

2回目の参加となり、今回は両親と一緒に参加しました。
内容も接客も素晴らしい！
是非友人にも当コースを勧めたいと思います。

This was truly one of the coolest experiences of my life! It was amazing to watch marine life so closely - I could not recommend it more.
On top of that, the staff were so nice & helpful. Met many great people. Great vibes all around.
Also, please be advised - the water can get choppy, so take sea sickness medication!!

We participated as a family of four with our two elementary school-aged sons. Due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Grotto, but instead, we were able to go snorkeling at a nearby beach. In a way, snorkeling in such a wavy sea might have been a rare experience. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable, so all the kids had a great time.

The only downside was that we couldn't borrow towels. We had brought some just in case, so it worked out.

小学生の息子2人と家族4人で参加しました。
天候の影響で青の洞窟には行けなかったのですが、そのかわりに近くのビーチでシュノーケリングが出来ました。逆に、あんなに波のある海でシュノーケリング出来たのは貴重な体験だったかもしれません。ガイドさんもとても親切で知識も豊富なので子供みんな楽しめました。

残念だったのはタオルが借りられなかった事。念の為用意していったのでなんとかなりましたが。

I had my first experience with sea kayaking together with my husband. Even though I'm not great with ocean activities, I was able to enjoy it. At first, I couldn't find the shop's location, so I called. I parked in a space adjacent to the café next door, and after going down a narrow path, I found a grassy area with the shop further back. It's a hidden gem with a private feel, very quiet, and I could relax and enjoy myself. The instructor was friendly and kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

主人と一緒に、シーカヤック初体験。
海遊びが苦手な私でも楽しむ事ができました。
最初お店の場所がわからず、電話しました。
隣のカフェに隣接したスペースに駐車し、脇にある細い道を下ると芝生広場があり、その奥に店舗があります。
知る人ぞ知る&プライベート感があり、とても静かで、ゆったりのんびり楽しむことができました。インストラクターのお兄さんもフレンドリー且つ親切で素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。本当にありがとうございました！

It had been a while since my last dive, so I was pumped and went for three dives. Although it was a beginner experience and we stayed under 10 meters, I still had a great time. I got to see winter marine life, which allowed me to experience Kerama in a different way than in summer.

久しぶりのダイビングとあって気合入れて3本潜りました。体験なので10メートル未満ですがそれでも十分楽しめました。冬の生物も見られて夏とは違う慶良間の体験ができました。

Snorkeling is done at a depth of about 5 meters, so you can't see fish or coral reefs up close...
Water sports are the best!!!

シュノーケリングは5mくらいの深いところで行うので、近くで魚やサンゴ礁を見ることはできません...
マリンスポーツは最高です!!!

Yesterday, I had a very enjoyable day with a canoe tour and snorkeling! The young guide taught us a lot about the nature of Ishigaki. They took us to a spot in the ocean where there were many fish, and I was truly impressed. Thank you!

昨日はカヌーツアー、シュノーケリングととても楽しい一日を過ごせました！
若いガイドさんでしたが石垣の自然のことをたくさん教えてくれました。
海も魚のたくさんいるポイントに連れてってもらい、感動しました。ありがとうございました！

The staff were kind.
This was my third time parasailing, and I want to do it every time I go to Okinawa.
It feels like being a bird, and it's the best.
The banana boat also provides a refreshing experience.

スタッフの方も、親切でした。
パラセイリングは3回目ですが、沖縄に行く度にしたくなります。
鳥になった気分で、最高です。
バナナボートも、爽快な気分を味わえます。

The staff were very kind and excellent!!
This is an activity I can confidently recommend!

I especially enjoyed the marine sports.

スタッフの方もとても親切で最高でした！！
自信を持ってお勧めできるアクティビティです！

特にマリンスポーツがたのしかったです。

We booked this trip from Australia for our sons 13th birthday with ease. Seasir contacted us a couple of days out to confirm pickup close to our accommodation as we weren't staying in one of the pickup hotels, this was easy and very close. Everyone in the company both on land and in the water was very good to deal with, helpful, knowledgeable and cheerful. My son said it was his best birthday ever. The water was so clear, lots of sea life and not crowded with loads of tourists.

At first, it was difficult to encounter any, but I was able to meet a sea turtle.

Even my child, who is in the upper grades of elementary school, said they were happy to swim close to the sea turtle.

The water was so clear that even before meeting the sea turtle, it was very beautiful and moving, creating great memories.

There were also showers available, so we felt refreshed before heading to the next location. I would like to participate again when I travel to Miyako Island.

最初はなかなか出会えませんでしたが、一匹のウミガメに出会えました。

小学校高学年の子供もウミガメと近くで泳げ嬉しかったと言っていました。

海の透明度が高いので、ウミガメに出会うまえでもとてもきれいで感動していて良い思い出になりました。

シャワーもあり、次の場所へさっぱりして迎えました。
また宮古島に旅行に行ったときは参加したいです。

First of all, I was very happy that the guide was very kind. The Blue Cave was beautiful, and I was able to see many fish. It was moving. Above all, I was able to take many photos, and the drone video was a first for me. The sea was captured beautifully, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

まずはガイドのお兄さんがとても親切にしてくださったのが、とても嬉しかったです。
青い洞窟もキレイで魚もたくさん見れました。感動でした。何より写真もたくさん撮っていただき、ドローンでの動画は初めてでしたが、海も最高にキレイに撮っていただき、何よりの思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました

This was our first time scuba diving and I was very nervous but the instructors were very friendly but also professional and guided us very well. We saw many fishes and even swam with a turtle while snorkeling at the third location! We had lunch and chilled on the boat, and at the end we showered and got changed on the boat too. They provide everything you may need including towels and all equipment! They also offered a ride home once we got back to land I did find the wetsuit a tight fit as it wasn’t meant for curves! Overall a very pleasant experience. I am still waiting on some pictures of the scuba diving and hope they will send all of them soon!~~ thank you for a great day!

Kawahirawan has strong waves, and swimming from the beach is prohibited, so there are many tours that allow you to see the underwater world from a glass-bottom boat. However, it would be nice to swim in the beautiful sea if possible.

If you join a snorkeling tour, you can go out to sea by boat and swim from a calm spot, which is reassuring.

"UMICOZA" is located in a forest-like area near the sea, and the staff is very friendly. Among the staff, there are many foreign exchange students who are studying Japanese, which makes for a fun cultural exchange.

The boat can accommodate different numbers of people, but when I participated, it was just my family, so we had the whole boat to ourselves! We had a wonderful time and even got to see sea turtles!

川平湾は波が早く、浜からの遊泳は禁止なので、グラスボートで船の上から海の中を見るツアーがたくさんありますが、せっかくなら綺麗な海で泳ぎたいところです。

シュノーケリングツアーに参加すれば、ボートで沖まで出て、波の落ち着いた場所から泳ぐので安心です。

「UMICOZA」さんは、事務所は海近くの森のような場所にありますが、とてもフレンドリーなスタッフさんたちが出迎えてくれます。
働いているスタッフさんの中には、日本語勉強中の外国人留学生もたくさんいますが、そんな異文化交流もまた楽しいです。

船は、人数にもよりますが、私が参加した時は当家族のみで、完全貸切状態！
とても満喫できました。
ウミガメも見ることができました！

I was satisfied to encounter sea turtles, which was my main goal this time✩.*˚ I saw them once when I came up for air while snorkeling, and another time while resting in the shade of a rock during diving. It was great that my friend, who was experiencing diving for the first time, was able to achieve their main goal!!

今回の1番の目的だった海亀にあえて、満足です✩.*˚
シュノーケル中息継ぎに海面に上がって来た時に１回、ダイビング中に岩陰で休憩してる時に１回、2回も会えましたよ✩.*˚
ダイビングが初体験の友達の最大の目的だったので、達成できて良かったです!!

The staff initially told us, "We will do our best to help you see the turtles, but I can't guarantee you'll see them 100%..." I thought, well, it's in the wild, so that's understandable. However, as soon as we entered the sea, a turtle came to greet us! It had such a calm face, and it was adorable! We were able to swim alongside it the whole time! The staff were very polite and kind, creating a comfortable atmosphere that was very pleasant. They also took great care of our safety, and we made some wonderful memories! I'm really glad we used Summer Resort Miyakojima!

スタッフの方から
「一生懸命会えるようにしますが、100％カメに会えるとは言い切れないので…」
と初めに言われ、そりゃ野生やし仕方ない、と思っていましたが海に入ってすぐカメちゃんがお出迎えしてくれました！！
すごく穏やかな顔で癒されて可愛いかったです！ずっとみんなで付いていって一緒に泳げました！
スタッフの方はすごく丁寧で親切で対応もかなり好感の持てる居心地の良い空間を作って頂き、安全面もしっかり配慮して頂き、すごく楽しい思い出が出来ました！
サマーリゾート宮古島さんを利用して本当に良かったです！

I really wanted to try diving, so I participated alone. I was the only one diving solo, but the instructor checked in on me at just the right distance, so I was able to enjoy it even by myself.

When it was time to dive, the waves were rough, and I started to panic, thinking, "I might not be able to dive... what should I do?" However, thanks to the instructor, I managed to dive! Swimming surrounded by beautiful corals and lots of fish felt strangely magical. When a fish swam right in front of me, turned to look at me, and our eyes met, I was overwhelmed with the realization, "Wow, I'm really underwater right now!" I'm so glad I gathered the courage to participate alone!

どうしてもダイビングをしてみたくて、1人で参加しました。1人参加は私だけでしたが、インストラクターさんがちょうどいい距離感で時たま気にかけてくれたので1人でも楽しめました(^^)
いざ潜るとき波が荒くて呼吸が荒くなってしまい「潜れないかも…どうしよう…」となったんですが、インストラクターさんのおかげでなんとか潜れました！綺麗なサンゴやたくさんの魚に囲まれて泳ぐのはなんだか不思議な感覚。目の前を横切る魚がくるっとこっちを向いて目が合ったときに「うわぁ、いま海の中にいるんだ」と実感して感動しました！！1人でも勇気を出して参加してよかったです(*^^*)

I used the service on a beautifully clear day in November. The day before was cloudy with strong winds, but the wind lingered, so our kayaking plan at Kabira Bay was changed to a mangrove watch and kayak at Miyahira River. My friend, who had no interest in mangroves at all, was feeling down about the change.

However, once we actually got into the kayak, I understood why the change was made. While there was quite a strong wind around us, the river felt completely calm, as if it was protected by the mangrove forest. This was impressive! My friend, who was anxious because they couldn't swim, seemed to relax and genuinely enjoy the experience.

I had seen mangrove forests a few times before, but the view from the kayak, just above the water's surface, was completely different. The strength of the mangroves stretching overhead captivated my friend as well. Additionally, we were able to see many rare birds, which was a big plus. I was surprised when a natural monument, the crested serpent eagle, appeared right at the start. Our guide was very sharp! We also heard various stories about different birds and plants, as well as local anecdotes, making the two hours fly by.

My friend, who had always thought of Okinawa as just the sea, showed interest in rivers and mangrove forests and even mentioned wanting to visit Iriomote Island, all thanks to this wonderful tour. I'm also interested in trying SUP and kayaking at Kabira Bay, so I definitely want to use this service again.

１１月の良く晴れた日に利用しました。前日は一日曇天で風が強かったのですが、風が残ってしまい川平湾でのカヤックの予定が宮平川でのマングローブウォッチ・カヤックにスケジュール変更に。マングローブに全く興味のない友人はテンション下がってました。
当日、実際にカヤックに乗ってみて変更になったのも納得。周囲は結構強い風が吹いているのに川はマングローブ林に守られているかのように無風。この読みはさすがです！実は泳げなくて不安がってた友人も安心して純粋に楽しめたよう。
マングローブ林は何度か見たことがあったけど、水面すれすれのカヤックから見る眺めは全然違います。覆いかぶさるように伸びるマングローブの力強さ、友人もすっかり魅了されていました。そして珍しい鳥が沢山見れたのもポイント高かったです。スタートしていきなり天然記念物のカンムリワシが姿を見せたのには驚きました。ガイドさん、目聡い！！他にもいろんな鳥や植物の話や地元の裏話も聞かせて頂いてあっという間の２時間でした。
これまで沖縄といえば海！だった友人が川やマングローブ林に興味を示して西表島にも行ってみたい、なんて言いだしたのもこのツアーが素晴らしかったからですね。川平湾でのSUPやカヤックも気になっているので是非また利用したいと思います。

Kawahirawan is truly beautiful, and I was able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding very much! I also heard about the sunrise and, on a whim, requested the sunrise canoe experience for the next day. I am grateful that they kindly accepted my request! In the afternoon, the snorkeling at the Blue Cave was not possible due to high waves, but instead, I was able to snorkel at a spot full of coral, and I was amazed by how close the fish were!

川平湾ほんと綺麗でとても気持ちよくsup出来ました！
サンライズの話も聞かせていただいて、次の日のサンライズカヌーの体験も急遽お願いして、快く受けて頂き、感謝です！
午後からのシュノーケルは青の洞窟がなみが高くて行けなかったのですが、かわりに珊瑚がいっぱいあるポイントでシュノーケルでき、魚がとても近くて感動しました！
