All Reviews for Snorkeling

I took motion sickness medication before the trip. The boat didn't sway much, and the sea breeze felt nice, so I think I wouldn't have gotten seasick even without the medication. The spot we arrived at had a beautiful, clear sea, so I highly recommend it. It's especially great for those who are snorkeling for the first time. Personally, I chose this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles, so I feel a bit unsatisfied, but that's just the luck of the draw.

酔い止めを飲んで臨みました。
船はそんなに揺れなかったし、海風も気持ちよかったので、酔い止めなしでも酔わなかったと思います。
ついたポイントは透き通ったキレイな海だったのでそこはオススメです。シュノーケリング初めてのひとに特にオススメです。
私的には今回このツアーを選んだのはウミガメに会いたかったからなので、少し物足りない気持ちもありますがこれは運なので仕方ないですね。

Snorkeling in the Blue Cave was amazing, with lots of different fish and many highlights to see.

I was excited to swim in a place close to the ocean, not just a beach, but I felt safe because we had a guide since I couldn't go alone. During the tour, the guide shared information about Okinawa, making it a wonderful travel memory.

青の洞窟でのシュノーケリングは色んなお魚がいて、見どころがたくさんありました。

海水浴場じゃないすぐ海に近い場所を泳げてドキドキしましたが1人じゃいけないのでガイドさんがいてくれて安心できました。
ツアー中は沖縄のこととかをガイドさんが教えてくれていい旅行の思い出になりました。

For my boyfriend's birthday, I was surprised by so many things, especially since I'm not usually an outdoor person! When I actually visited the Blue Cave, I found that the shallow sea was quite expansive, and there were many experiences that you can only understand by trying them out. The stand-up paddleboarding was designed for people who aren't used to outdoor activities, and with tips from my boyfriend and the guide, I was able to stand up on the board. By the end, we became friendly enough to take a photo together with the guide, which made for the best memories.

彼氏の誕生日で普段アウトドアをしない私にはアッと驚かされる内容ばかりでした！
青の洞窟は実際に行ってみると、浅い海が結構広がっていたり、体験しないとわからないことが目白押しでした。
サップはアウトドアに慣れていない人でも乗れるようになっていて、彼氏とガイドさんにコツを教えてもらい立てるようになりました。
最後はガイドさんと三人で写真を取るくらいまで仲良くなれて最高の思い出になりました。

Kawahirawan is shallower than I expected, so even if you fall off the SUP, you won't drown! We challenged ourselves with a tandem ride and fell off several times, but it was fine!! I was worried about the blue cave since my companion isn't a strong swimmer, but we were able to proceed slowly and safely reached our destination. In the end, we took a little break at a slightly cold waterfall to rinse off the seawater before the tour ended. The fruit juice shop we recommended after was delicious!

川平湾は思ったより浅いのでSUPが万が一転倒しても溺れることはないです！私たちは二人乗りで挑戦して何度も落ちましたが、大丈夫でした！！泳ぎが苦手な彼が心配だった青の洞窟も、ゆっくり進んでいただけたので目的地まで無事いけました。最後は海水を落とすために少し冷たい滝のところでプカプカ休憩してツアーが終わりました。終わった後のオススメの果物ジュース屋美味しかった〜！

The day before, the wind was strong, and I was worried, but thanks to Ishigaki Island's unpredictable weather, it was cloudy on the day of the trip, yet the wind was calm.

I learned that the Blue Cave is popular, and while searching for it, I found that Pipi was the most popular shop, so I chose this plan.

While I was in the Blue Cave, the sun peeked out for a moment, and it left a strong impression on me how beautiful the cave became. I also got to try stand-up paddleboarding in the sea, which was fun as I could explore various places on my own.

前日まで風がつよくて、心配しましたが石垣島の天気の変わりやすさに助けられて当日は曇ってはいましたが風は穏やかでした。
青の洞窟が人気だと知って探していたらピピさんが一番人気のショップだったのでこちらのプランにしました。

青の洞窟にいるときに少しだけ太陽が見えて、洞窟の中がきれいになったのが印象に残りました。
海でサップもできて自分で色んな所に行けて面白かったです。

I participated in the Blue Cave, and my friend wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The weather was great at the Blue Cave, and the swimming area inside the cave was very beautiful. It was my friend's first time snorkeling, and we were able to see a large ray, which made our swimming experience enjoyable. The breeze during the SUP was refreshing, and the sea was beautiful, so we were happy that our guide took many photos of us.

私は青の洞窟、友人はSUPに乗りたくて参加しました。
青の洞窟は天気が良くて、洞窟の中にある泳げる場所がとてもきれいでした。
友人はシュノーケル初めてでしたが、大きなエイにも会えて2人で楽しんで泳げました。
サップは風が気持ちよくて、海もきれいだったのでガイドさんが私達の写真をたくさん撮ってくれて嬉しかったです。

I visited the Blue Cave a few years ago, but the weather wasn't very good at that time, so I thought I would like to come back someday. Honestly, I thought it wouldn't be much different from before, but when the sun came out, the blue of the sea was incredibly beautiful, so I'm glad I came. I also got to see some cute clownfish. Due to the unpredictable weather, I couldn't go to Kabira Bay, but the alternative mangrove canoeing was amazing!

青の洞窟は数年前に行ったのですが、そのときはあまり天気が良くなくいつかまた来たいと思い参加しました。
正直、以前と大して変わらないだろうと思っていましたが晴れると海の青さが段違いに良くなったので来てよかったです。
かわいいクマノミにも会えました。
天候不順で川平湾は行けなかったですが、代替のマングローブカヌーも最&高でした！

I wanted to come with a friend, but our schedules didn't match, so I participated alone. I was looking forward to seeing clownfish in the Blue Cave. When I got to the beach, the blue of the sea and the white of the sand exceeded my expectations and moved me. It's been a few years since I last went snorkeling, so I was helped by the guide's kind explanations. I recommend this for those who want to enjoy a day at a great value.

友達と来たかったんですが、予定が合わなくて一人で参加しました。
青の洞窟でクマノミを見るのが楽しみで参加しました。
砂浜に出ると海の青さと砂浜の白さが期待以上で感動しました。
シュノーケルは数年前にやって以来なのでガイドさんの親切な説明に助けられました。
お得に1日遊びたい方にオススメです。

I experienced snorkeling for the first time with my 5-year-old son! I was amazed by the clarity of the ocean in Okinawa. I wanted to keep looking underwater forever! Time flew by so quickly. Next, I want to challenge myself with scuba diving. This experience made me want to go back again. The staff provided clear and thorough explanations about the equipment and snorkeling. However, I wish they had informed us about the location of the shower and restroom at the beginning, as it was a bit hard to find.

初めてのシュノーケリングを、5歳の息子と一緒に体験しました！沖縄の海の透明度に感動。ずっとずっと海の中を見ていたかった！！あっという間に時間が過ぎました。次はスキューバーダイビングに挑戦してみたいです。また行きたい、そう思わせてくれました。お店の方の道具やシュノーケリングの際の説明も丁寧で分かりやすかった。ただ、シャワーとトイレがどこにあるのか分かりずらかったので最初に教えて欲しかったです。

I went snorkeling for the first time on my trip to Okinawa! I was a bit anxious at first since I had my 9-year-old and 7-year-old with me, but the staff were incredibly kind and guided us well, so the kids weren't scared at all. At the second spot, we encountered a sea turtle and were able to swim with it, which made the kids extremely happy! They said it was their best memory!! I want to participate again!!!

初めての沖縄旅行で、シュノーケリングに挑戦しました！
9歳と7歳の子供を連れての参加で最初は少し不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんが非常に親切に誘導してくださり、子供達も特に怖がることもありませんでした。
2箇所目のポイントでウミガメに遭遇し、一緒に泳ぐことができて、子供達は非常に喜んでいました！　一番の思い出になったと言っています！！
また、参加したいです！！！

I participated with my elementary school-aged child. I wanted to expose my indoor child to nature, so I joined this tour. To be honest, I was worried about whether they would enjoy it, but they had a great time. The snorkeling in the Blue Cave was especially exciting because we could see the fish up close, and my child was thrilled! I hope this encourages them to take on more challenges in the future.

まだ小学生の子供と参加しました。普段からインドアなうちの子を自然に触れさせてみたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。
正直楽しんでくれるか不安だったのですが、すごく楽しんでくれました。
特に青の洞窟でのシュノーケルは魚がすごく近くで見れたので、子供も大興奮でした！
これを機にどんどんいろんなことにチャレンジして欲しいです。

I came to Ishigaki Island to try stand-up paddleboarding at Kabira Bay, and I was blessed with great weather—it was truly fun! I could see the seabed clearly, and the guide patiently taught me, a beginner in paddleboarding. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and it was a view I could watch forever! I will definitely come back to Ishigaki Island!

川平湾でのサップボードをしたくて石垣島にきたのですが、天気にも恵まれ本当に楽しかったです！！
海底が透けて見えましたし、ガイドの方がサップ初心者の私に丁寧に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルでは色鮮やかな魚がたくさんいて、ずっと見てられる景色でした！！
また石垣島に遊びにきます！

I was really anxious because I don't have good athletic skills, but by the end, I was able to stand up! ^_^ Thanks to the guide's instruction. Thank you very much. I immediately recommended it to my friends. If there's another opportunity, I look forward to it. And thank you, Takagi!

運動神経が全然良くないので不安だったのですが、最後には立てるようになりました^_^
ガイドさんの指導のおかげです。
ありがとうございました。
友達にも早速オススメしました。
また機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします。
そしてタカギさんありがとう！

Since I got tired of island hopping, I decided to participate in an activity. I had always wanted to try kayaking, so I joined this plan that offers kayaking in Kabira Bay.
Kayaking in Kabira Bay was wonderful, but I realized how much fun snorkeling is! I found myself wanting to swim in various places and I might completely get hooked on it!

島巡りも飽きたので、アクティビティに参加することにしました。カヤックを一度やりたかったので、川平湾でカヤックできるこのプランに参加しました。
川平湾でのカヤックも素晴らしかったのですが、シュノーケリングの楽しさに気づいてしまいましたw
色んな場所で泳ぎたくなってしまい完全にハマりそうですw

I had a great time that weekend morning. Not knowing what to expect I found the dive shop was casual and friendly and we soon went out to the dock for the boat ride. The boat was packed with divers, while I was going to snorkel with a few others. They have many guides, so there was no problem.

The blue cave is very nice. When you get close to it, the boat stops, you plop in the water and swim towards the cave following the floating ring towed by the guide. The cave and environs are pretty busy with divers, and it's a good thing for snorkelers that they all go underwater! Good thing for them too that the volume of the ocean can easily handle their larger numbers compared to the snorkelers on the surface. Saw many coral, and fish, and feeding the fish is fun. Those little things are pretty deft - they will eat their bread pieces from your hand but you can't catch them! The cave is nice and blue in spots, as promised, and the water is very clear. Even though it rained towards the end and on the way back, it doesn't change the cave experience. My guide was very nice and she took 79 pictures with her underwater camera which I received on a CD / DVD. They know all the right spots and poses to shoot for!

My advice is to park in the back in the middle spots (4, 5, 6). Wear your own sandals to the boat - you'll be more comfortable. Arrive in your swimsuit and bring a change of clothes and a towel. That's it, and you'll have a lot of fun!

The guide's assistance was excellent, and we were able to share an experience beyond our expectations as a parent and child! The captain and the other team's guides were also kind. I definitely want to go again!

ガイドの方のアテンドも大変よく、想像以上の体験を親子で共有できました！
船長、ほかのチームのガイドの方達も親切でした。またぜひ行きたいです！

Thank you very much for accommodating my last-minute reservation. I was really looking forward to the activities at Kabira Bay and snorkeling in the Blue Cave when I came to Ishigaki Island. I was very satisfied to be able to do both. The weather was great, and I was able to take a lot of photos, which was really nice. For anyone coming to Ishigaki Island, I highly recommend it!

ギリギリの予約にも関わらず、対応して下さって本当にありがとうございます。
石垣島に来たらやってみたかった川平湾でのアクティビティと青の洞窟シュノーケル。
両方できてとても満足です。
天気も良く、写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて本当良かったです。
石垣島に来る方、是非オススメです！

The weather was very nice, and both the stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling were fantastic. We were able to take a lot of photos, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much to the man who guided us for the day.

P.S. The mango shop you recommended was also amazing.

天気もとても良く、サップもシュノーケルも最高でした。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、とても良い思ひ出になりました。
1日ガイドして下さった男性の方、本当にありがとうございました。

p.s.おススメしていただいたマンゴーのお店も最高でした。

A total waste of money. You aren’t allowed to swim without either wetsuit or life jacket. I got so overheated and sick that I had to sleep all afternoon when I got back. The tour guides act like they don’t even want to be there. They should make exceptions for people who are good swimmers. What was the point of having us sign liability waivers if they make us suffer in wetsuits?

This was my second time participating. Given that it was right after a typhoon, I was worried about the unstable weather, but I was glad we could safely enter the Blue Cave. My husband, my fourth-grade niece, and I had a private tour with a super cool guide. We were lucky in that regard, but he also called my niece by name throughout the tour and took dozens of photos, showing not only a friendly demeanor but also an incredibly high level of hospitality. During snorkeling, he accurately answered our little questions, allowing the adults to enjoy it as well. My niece seemed to really like Shoma, the guide. I was also happy to see the boss who helped us last time. Next time, I plan to bring my younger niece, who is currently not very comfortable in the water, so I appreciate your support.

2回目の参加です。
台風直後ということもあり不安定な天気で心配でしたが、青の洞窟にも無事に入ることができてよかったです。
夫と小４の姪っ子と3人で超カッコいいガイドのお兄さんを貸し切りでした。そんなラッキーもありましたが、終始姪っ子を名前で呼んでくれたり、何十枚も写真を撮ってくれるなど、気さくなだけじゃなく非常に高いホスピタリティーを感じました。
シュノーケリングの間、私たちのちょっとした質問にも的確に答えていただくなど、大人も十分楽しめました。
姪っ子もショウマお兄さんのこと、とっても気に入ったようです。
最後に前回お世話になったボスにもお目にかかれて嬉しかったです。
次回は今のところ海が苦手な下の姪も連れて行きますのでよろしくお願いします。

Thank you so much for accommodating our last-minute reservation! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and we saw so many fish we had never seen before! During the tour, I was the most excited and may have caused some trouble, but you always greeted us with a smile! Thank you for your support with the sudden booking!

前日に急遽、予約したのに私たちのわがままに対応して頂いて本当にありがとうございました！
海がとにかく綺麗で見たことのない魚がいっぱい見れました！
ツアー中も1番はしゃいでしまって迷惑掛けっぱなしにも関わらず、常に笑顔で接してくださいました！
急な予約でご対応していただきありがとうございました！

It had been forecasted to rain all day, but I was relieved when it turned into a beautiful sunny day! It was the most beautiful sea I have ever seen! I was a bit anxious about my first snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding experience, but since it was a small group, I was able to enjoy it comfortably with constant support. I had a great time relaxing and enjoying the great nature of Ishigaki Island for the whole day. Thank you very much.

ずっと雨予報だったのですが、当日は快晴に変わりホッとしました！
今まで見てきた中で1番綺麗な海でした！
人生初めてのシュノーケリングにスタンドアップパドル体験で不安でしたが少人数での開催でずっと付き添って頂けたので安心して楽しむ事ができました。
1日のんびり石垣島の大自然を満喫する事ができて楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

We were informed the day before our scheduled visit that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to an approaching typhoon. Although we were disappointed since we had come all this way, we switched to snorkeling and participated instead.

The staff who guided us took us to hidden spots along the way, took lots of photos, and even told us about the sea turtle nesting areas, which made the time spent traveling enjoyable as well. ☆ They also took many photos during snorkeling, so we downloaded them and quickly created our own album! Our spirits were lifted! ⤴︎⤴︎

Next time, we definitely want to participate when there are no typhoon impacts.

The staff were very kind and taught us how to use the facilities, and even though it was a short time, we had a really fun experience! (The changing room in the facility was spacious, making it easy to change into wetsuits!)

Thank you very much.

私達が申し込みしていた日は台風接近の為予定していた青の洞窟には行く事が出来ないと前日にご連絡いただきました。
せっかく来たのだからと気落ちしていましたがシュノーケリングに切り替え参加させていただきました。
引率してくれたスタッフの方が途中隠れスポットに寄り沢山写真を撮ってくれて海ガメ産卵場所を教えてくれたりとシュノーケリング以外の移動中も楽しく過ごせた事が良かったです☆
シュノーケリング中の写真も沢山撮っていただいていたのでダウンロードし早速自分達のアルバムを作りました‼︎
気落ちしてた気持ちも上がりました⤴︎⤴︎
次回は是非台風の影響の受けない頃に是非参加させていただきたいです

またスタッフの皆さまとても親切に施設の使い方等も教えていただき短い時間ではありましたがとても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました‼︎
(施設内の更衣室が広くウェットスーツに着替えをしやすかったです‼︎)

ありがとうございました。

The plan for the sea kayaking and snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave was changed to snorkeling at the beach due to the impact of the typhoon. They were flexible and adapted to the situation at that time.

The briefing from the guide before the tour was easy to understand for the children (ages 8 and 7). Although it was cloudy and quite windy, the waves were minimal, visibility was decent, and there were quite a few fish. The guide made various arrangements, allowing the whole family to enjoy the sea. They also took many underwater photos and later sent them to us via a LINE album. Although the tour content was changed, it still turned out to be a satisfying experience.

シーカヤック＆青の洞窟シュノーケルのツアーの予定が、台風の影響でビーチでのシュノーケルに変更。その時の状況によって臨機応変に対応してもらいました。
ガイドさんからのツアー前のブリーフィングは、子供(８歳と７歳)にも分かりやすい説明でした。曇っていて風も強かったのですが、波はほとんどなく透明度もまずまずで魚も結構いました。ガイドさんが色々と工夫してくれて、家族みんなで楽しみながら海を満喫しました。また水中の画像をたくさん撮ってくれて、あとでその画像をLINEのアルバムで送ってくれました。ツアー内容は変更となりましたが、それでも満足したツアーとなりました。

I wanted to visit various islands in a short period, so I decided to enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island in one day and signed up for a one-day package tour!
I was impressed by the beautiful, clear sea while snorkeling!
On the stand-up paddleboard, I felt like I was floating on the water!
The guide took many wonderful photos, and it truly became a great memory.

短期間で色んな島に行きたかったので、1日で石垣島の大自然を満喫しようと思い1日パックツアーを申し込みさせていただきました！
シュノーケリングは透き通ったキレイな海に感動しました！
supでは海の上に浮かんでるような気分でした！
ガイドのお兄さんが素敵な写真をいっぱい撮っていただき、本当にいい思い出になりました。

The day we arrived was forecasted to be rainy, but it turned out to be sunny. The ocean was very beautiful, and we were able to see many fish. The tidal pool was also very refreshing. It was my first time experiencing SAP, but the guide was kind and thorough in their explanations, so I was able to stand up right away. It was a wonderful experience to fully enjoy the great nature of Ishigaki Island in just one day.

私たちが来る日が雨予報だったのですが当日晴れてくれました。
海がかなり綺麗でたくさんの魚が見れました。
滝つぼでの潮流しも気持ちかったです。
初めてのSAPでしたが優しく丁寧にガイドの方がレクチャーしてくださったのですぐに立てるようになりました。
石垣島の大自然を1日で満喫でき素晴らしい体験でした。

It was a day where I felt the kindness of the guide. Their language was polite, and I was also surprised by their strong ability to lead other guests. I heard they originally worked at Hoshino Resorts. It seems they were drawn to this place and changed jobs. I highly recommend Arai's guiding.

ガイドの方の優しさを感じる1日でした。言葉遣いも丁寧で尚且つ、他のお客さんを引っ張る力強さにもびっくりしました。元々星野リゾートにいらっしゃったとのこと。。
こちらのピピさんに惹かれて、転職されたらしいです。
新井さんのガイドは本当にオススメです。

They guided me to the bustling streets of Ishigaki Island, and the life jackets and marine boots needed for the marine leisure activities fittingly matched the name "paradise," making everything comfortable and stress-free without having to think about anything.

I especially enjoyed the Blue Cave. I did canoeing and played in the waterfall pool, but snorkeling in the Blue Cave was the most physically demanding, and as a result, I saw a lot of fish and had the most fun.

The Blue Cave is a popular spot, so it can get crowded, but stand-up paddleboarding over the spacious Kabira Bay was the best part, as it was a non-stressful experience without any interruptions.

I felt like I really got my money's worth with all the fun I had! Thank you for making me love Ishigaki Island even more!

石垣島の繁華街に案内してくれたり、楽園という名にふさわしいマリンレジャーに必要なライフジャケット、マリンブーツのサイズもぴったりでとにかく快適に何も考える必要がなくストレスフリーでした。
特に青の洞窟が楽しかったです。
カヌーをしたり滝つぼで遊んだりしましたが、青の洞窟シュノーケルは泳ぐので一番体力を使い、その分魚をたくさん見れて一番楽しかったです。
青の洞窟は人気スポットなので人がわちゃわちゃしてるんですが、サップは広い川平湾の上を誰にも邪魔されないノンストレスなところが最高。
こんなに遊べて得した気分になれました！
大好きな石垣島をもっと好きにしてくれてありがとうございました！

When we arrived, there were many other tour vehicles parked, which heightened our expectations even before we got there! The sea was beautiful, and there were plenty of fish swimming around, making it even more enjoyable than we had anticipated! I didn't want to miss out on Kabira Bay, and it was just as beautiful as I had imagined; I fell in love with it instantly. We had a packed experience, enjoying the view of the sea while swaying with the waves, taking breaks on the board, and standing up to enjoy the amazing location. At the waterfall basin, we swam up to the waterfall and had a refreshing splash of water over our heads, which felt great!

現地につくと他のツアーの車がたくさん停められていて、行く前から期待が高まりました！
海もきれいで魚もたくさん泳いでおり期待以上で楽しかったです！
川平湾は予定から外したくなく、思っていた通りキレイで一瞬で好きになりました。
波に揺られながら海を眺められ、ボードの上で休憩したり立って最高のロケーションを楽しめたりと盛りだくさんの体験ができました。
滝つぼでは滝まで泳いでいって頭から水浴びができて気持ちよかったです！

I participated in the half-day plan. In the morning, they picked me up at the hotel on time and took me to the port. It was farther from the island terminal than I expected, so I was glad I didn't have to go there on my own.

With 14 passengers and 3 crew members, we set off on a boat with a sunshade. They lent us seasickness bands at the start, and thanks to that, even though it was a day with high waves, no one got seasick until the end.

That day, the tide was higher than ever, and the phantom island was only partially visible. Since it was crowded with other tour guests, we decided to snorkel first and then go to the phantom island.

During the transfer, there was a snorkeling lesson, and they provided very detailed instructions.

Finally, we arrived at Ishigaki Coral Lagoon. There were colorful fish and blue and yellow corals! I even saw a clownfish! It was a bit disappointing that the visibility wasn't as high as I had hoped, but I still had a great time.

It was a bit chilly during the transfer after getting in the water, so it would be good to have a cover-up that can get wet.

And finally, we reached the phantom island.

After swimming a bit from the boat, we landed on the island. It was truly a beach-only island, and I was moved! Since the tide had receded more than in the morning and the number of tour guests had decreased, I was glad that RISE adjusted the plan according to the situation. I took plenty of photos for 30 minutes, lay on the sandy beach, and thoroughly enjoyed the phantom island. I didn't have the courage to dress up as a mermaid, but it looked cute when I saw others doing it.

The morning tour ended at 12:00, and they took us back to the hotel afterward.

You can have plenty of fun even with the half-day plan! They provided all the necessary snorkeling gear, tea, and seasickness bands, so all you need to do is wear your swimsuit and bring a towel while waiting at the hotel, which is convenient. The service was very polite, so I highly recommend it. Since the tide was too high this time, I would like to participate again during low tide.

半日プランに参加しました。
朝、時間通りにホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、港まで送ってくれました。離島ターミナルからは思ったより離れた港だったので自力で行かなくて良かったです。

14名の乗客と3名のクルーが乗り込み、日除け屋根つきの船で出発。
出発時に酔い止めバンドを貸してくれました。そのおかげか、波が高い日でしたが最後まで誰も酔っていませんでした。

この日は今までにないほど潮が満ちていて、幻の島は少ししか出ていないそう。他のツアー客で混み合っているので、まずシュノーケルをして、その後に幻の島へ行くことになりました。

移動中にシュノーケル講習があり、細かいところまでとても丁寧に指導してくれました。

いざ石西礁湖へ。
色とりどりの魚や、青や黄の珊瑚！カクレクマノミもいました！透明度は思ったほど高くなかったのが残念でしたが、それでも充分楽しめました。

海に入った後の移動中は少し寒かったので、濡れてもいい羽織りがあると良さそうです。

そしてついに幻の島へ。

船から少し泳いで島へ上陸。
本当に砂浜だけの島、感動しました！
朝よりも潮が引きツアー客も減っていたので、状況をみながらプランを練りなおしてくれるRISEさんで良かったと思いました。
30分間思う存分に写真を撮り、砂浜に寝転がり、幻の島を堪能しました。
人魚のコスプレは勇気が出なくてしませんでしたが、見ていたら可愛かったです。

午前ツアーは12時に終了し、その後ホテルまで送ってくれました。

半日プランでも充分に楽しめます！
シュノーケルに必要な装備全てとお茶、酔い止めバンドも用意してくれ、水着を着てタオルを持ってホテルで待っていればいいので楽です。対応もとても丁寧なのでおススメです。
今回は潮が高すぎたので、引き潮の時にまた参加してみたいです。
