It was our first trip to Okinawa, and we were all really looking forward to the snorkeling tour as a family. However, the weather was bad on the day of the tour, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, making it a tough environment for small children. I ended up feeling seasick, and my son started crying, which made it very disappointing that we couldn't enjoy the ocean together for his first time.
I was also anxious because they only asked for our shoe sizes and provided almost no explanation on how to use the equipment or swim. Although they advertised that it was suitable for children from 3 years old and that even those who are not good at swimming would be fine, I felt that the content was a bit challenging for small children and beginners.
Additionally, the transparent floatation device mentioned in the rental section was not available. Instead, we received a regular black float. I regretted not preparing something for my son to see underwater.
There was a staff member who was very kind and attentive to my son, and I am truly grateful to them. However, I was shocked and frightened when another staff member shouted, "Don't just focus on one family! The parents are here, so leave it to them!" This was very surprising and disheartening, especially since it was our first time participating and there were many things we didn’t understand.
Furthermore, there was a slightly scary moment while changing. I was changing in the only place where the door could close, and another woman was being urged by a staff member to "hurry up and change" and "change inside." If she had opened the door, I would have been exposed, but thankfully, that woman refused and said "NO," which saved me. I am truly grateful for her courage at that moment.
I understand that there are aspects like the weather and sea conditions that cannot be helped. However, I believe that if there had been a bit more consideration for beginners and families with children, along with better explanations and support regarding safety and privacy, the overall impression would have been significantly different.
I wrote this review with the hope that others who are participating for the first time with small children will be able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I sincerely thank the staff who treated us kindly, the captain, and all the participants who were on board with us.
初めての沖縄旅行で、家族みんなでとても楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングツアーでした。
当日は天候が悪く、船の揺れがとても強くて、小さな子どもにはかなり厳しい環境でした。私自身も船酔いしてしまい、息子は泣いてしまって、初めての海を楽しませてあげられなかったのがとても残念でした。
足のサイズを聞かれただけで、器具の使い方や泳ぎ方の説明がほとんどなかったのも不安でした。
「3歳からOK」「泳ぎが苦手な方も安心」とありましたが、実際は小さな子どもや初心者には少し難しい内容に感じました。
また、貸し出し欄に書いてあった透明な浮き袋というものもありませんでした。普通の真っ黒な浮き輪です。
こんな事なら息子が海の中を見れるように
何かしら用意したのになと残念でした。
スタッフの中には息子を気遣って優しくついてくださった方もいて、その方には心から感謝しています。
ですが、別のスタッフの方が「ひと家族だけにつくな!親がいるんだから親に任せろ!」と大声で言った時は、とても驚き、怖さを感じました。初めての参加で分からないことも多かったので、その一言がとてもショックでした。
さらに、着替えの際にも少し怖い場面がありました。私が唯一扉が閉まる場所で着替えていた時、他の女性がスタッフの方から「早く着替えて」「中で着替えろ」と促されていました。もしその方が扉を開けていたら、私は全裸を晒してしまうところでしたが、その女性が「NO」と拒否してくれたおかげで助かりました。あの時の勇気に本当に感謝しています。
天候や海の状況など、どうにもならない部分もあると思います。
ですが、もう少し初心者や子ども連れへの配慮、説明や安全・プライバシー面のサポートがあれば、印象は大きく変わっていたと思います。
このレビューは、同じように小さな子どもを連れて初めて参加する方が、安心して楽しめるようになってほしいという思いで書いています。
優しく接してくださったスタッフの方、船長さん、そして一緒に乗船されていた参加者の皆さんには心から感謝しています。

Thank you very much for the one-day boat experience diving and snorkeling in Kerama. I truly enjoyed it and had a wonderful time. I was also very happy to see a sea turtle. I had some anxiety since it had been a while since my last dive, but the staff provided thorough guidance, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind. Furthermore, the hayashi rice and shaved ice we had for lunch were exquisite! If there’s another opportunity, I would love to do it again.
慶良間での1日ボート体験ダイビング&シュノーケリングでは大変お世話になりました。
本当に満喫できて、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。そして海ガメにも逢えて、とても嬉しかったです。
久々のダイビングで不安もありましたが、スタッフの皆さんが丁寧に指導してくださり、安心して楽しむことができました。
さらに、お昼にいただいたハヤシライスとかき氷は絶品でした!
また機会がありましたら、ぜひよろしくお願いいたします。
慶良間の海は本当に感動します🐢✨
スタッフさんが丁寧にサポートしてくれるので、初めてでも安心です。思い切って飛び込んでみてください!

The weather was great, the points were all good, and I even got to see sea turtles; it was the best. Thank you very much. However, when I applied for this tour, I had to submit documents regarding health management, but I was asked to fill out the same documents again on-site. I received a confirmation email with the same attachments, but I was told that I didn't receive anything from Veltra, so I'm wondering what's going on...
天気にも恵まれ、ポイントもどこも良く、またウミガメも見れ、最高でした。
ありがとうございました。が、
本件申し込みの際、体調管理等の書類を作成提出の上のツアーでしたが、現場にて同じ書類を書かされました。同じものを添付の上確認のメールをもらいましたが、ベルトラさんからはもらっていないとの事でどうなっているのかなぁと・・・?

This time, I challenged myself to diving for the first time in 35 years as a celebration of my 60th birthday. The weather wasn't great, and the boat was rocking, which made me quite anxious, but thanks to the staff's quick guidance and instructions, I was able to dive safely. Amid the excitement and nervousness, I truly enjoyed swimming in the beautiful ocean after such a long time. I had a wonderful experience touching the clownfish playing among the sea anemones. Thank you very much.
今回還暦の記念に35年ぶりのダイビングを挑戦しました。天候もあまり良くなく、船も揺れて、いろんな不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々のテキパキとした誘導や指示より安全に行うことができました。ドキドキワクワクの中、ほんとに久しぶりに海の中の素敵な遊泳を楽しむことができました。

Positive points:
- They stayed with my mother, who was struggling.
- The equipment was comfortable and good.
- The explanations were well done.
- I didn't know there would be three dives, but for an additional 5,500 yen, they took us to Tokashiki Island.
- They took us to good dive spots.
Negative points:
- I thought there would be a shop; it was my first time on a direct boat.
- My mother was diving for the first time, and I wasn't sure if she could do it, but we couldn't choose how many dives each person would do.
- Once it was clear she couldn't dive, I wanted her to be allowed to join the snorkeling group.
- My mother's payment for one dive was wasted, and I couldn't use it for my three dives.
- The return boat was too fast, and a basket full of equipment moved, pinching my legs between the bench and the basket, causing an injury.
- I shouted that it hurt, and even though someone must have seen it, no one helped.
- At that time, there was a mark, and later it swelled.
良かった点は
・うまくできない母にずっと付いててくれた。
・装備が楽で良かった。
・説明が上手だった。
・3ダイブあるとは聞いていなかったがオプション 5500円プラスで渡嘉敷島にも行ってくれた。
・良いポイントに連れてってくれた。
悪かった点は
・ショップがあると思っていた。直接ボートは初めて。
・母がダイビング初めてでできるか分からなかったけど1人ずつ何回ダイブするか選べなかった。
・できないってわかったらシュノーケル組に参加させて欲しかった。
・母の1ダイブ分のお金が無駄になったけど、私の3DIVEめ分に利用できなかった。
・帰りのボートが速すぎていっぱい機材が入っているカゴが動いて座ってたベンチと足が挟まれて怪我をした。
・痛いって叫んだし、絶対見てたはずなのに誰も見てみぬふりされた。
・その時は痕が付き、その後腫れた。
Thank you very much for participating in the Kerama Islands diving tour organized by Joy Create Okinawa. We are currently addressing your injury, so we appreciate your continued understanding. We sincerely apologize for the boat's rocking due to the wind direction and tidal currents that day. We operated the boat at a reduced speed compared to normal. It seems that the waves caused the boat to sway. Thank you for your continued understanding regarding your injury.
ジョイクリエイト沖縄が開催する慶良間諸島ダイビングツアーにご参加いただきまして、まことにありがとうございます。その後、お怪我にたいしてはこちらも対応中ですので引き続きよろしくお願いいたします。また、その日の風向きおよび潮の流れにより船が揺れましたこと心よりお詫び申し上げます。速度は通常よりは出力を下げて運航しておりました。どうしても波のせいで船がゆれてしまったようです。それでは引き続きお怪我についてはよろしくお願いいたします。

I participated on a day when the weather had been bad for a while, and the departure had been postponed, but we finally set sail. We did encounter whales, but they were a bit far away. However, since this is nature we're dealing with, it can't be helped. It was quite a rocky day, but I didn't get seasick and had a fun half-day. I'm grateful for the courteous service from the staff.
天候が悪い日が続き、延期も続き、やっと出航できた日に参加しました。
クジラには出会えましたが、少し遠かったかなー。
でもこれだけは自然が相手なので仕方ないです。
かなり揺れた日でしたが、船酔いする事もなく楽しい半日でした。

- The waves were calm, and I felt comfortable without any seasickness. I wore a raincoat because I was worried about the weather, but it also helped keep me warm.
- I regret not being able to see the jumps like in the photos, but I was satisfied that I could clearly see the large tail fin.
・波も穏やかで、船酔いもなく快適でした。天気が心配なためカッパを着ていきましたが、防寒対策にもなりました。
・写真のようなジャンプが見れず心残りでしたが、大きな尾びれはしっかり目に焼き付けることができ、満足しています。

Since it was April, I thought it might not be possible to see anything, but I managed to catch a glimpse. Various companies' boats seemed to be communicating with each other, and the boat that spotted the whale was in contact with the other boats, so we were able to encounter it.
4月という事で ダメかなぁと 思って参加しましたが 何とか見れました

I've always wanted to go whale watching☆ I was really looking forward to it and was drawn to the idea of seeing them up close, so I even went out of my way to find a hotel in the northern area...
We did see a mother and calf whale, and we were able to see them spouting water and their tails.
However, they were not close at all... Other boats would quickly move in when they spotted a whale, but we couldn't get close. We didn't get to see them up close at all. The images I had in mind seemed quite rare, and we didn't see anything like that. It was also quite difficult to leave the port after the tour since we had to disband at the location.
念願のホエールウォッチング☆
ずっと楽しみにしていて
船の間近で見れるのに惹かれて
わざわざ北部の方のホテル探したのに…
確かに親子連れのクジラは見れて
潮吹いてるところとか尾びれも見れました。
ただ全く近くない…
他の船はクジラを発見すると速攻動き出して
近くまで行くのに…
なかなか寄ってもらえず
近くで見れませんでした。
イメージ写真?みたいなのは
かなりレアみたいで全く見れません。
帰りも現地解散で港から出るのが大変でした。

I participated because I wanted to have memorable experiences in Okinawa for the first time. I couldn't quite imagine what a sea walker would be like, but it was so much fun walking on the ocean floor like I was floating in space, feeding the fish, and holding sea cucumbers and starfish! I might want to try diving next time? I also thought it would have been nice to have a photo service underwater.
During whale watching, we couldn't get too close, but the boat was maneuvered so we could see them, and when we spotted the spouts and tails, it was truly moving!
I’m thinking I want to go again!
初めての沖縄で思い出になる体験をしたくて参加しました。シーウォーカーってちょっとイメージできなかったんですが、宇宙遊泳感覚で海の底を歩いてお魚に餌をやったり、なまこやヒトデを持たしてもらったり、とても楽しかったです!今度はダイビングに挑戦したいかも?水中での写真サービスがあれば嬉しかったなと思いました。
ホエールウォッチングでは近くで見ることはできなかったのですが、見えるように船を走らせてくれ、潮吹きや尾びれが見えた時は本当に感動でした!
また行きたいな!と思っています。

When I asked the staff at the reception on the day of the event if there had been any sightings yesterday, they replied that since it was already late in the season, they hadn't seen anything. So, I wasn't expecting much. However, once the boat set sail, the boarding staff mentioned that they had a good chance of spotting something based on the morning trip. My hopes began to rise. But the boat was rocking a lot! After about 1 hour and 10 minutes, we finally arrived at the spot. At first, there was a long silence, but then someone shouted with excitement, and when I looked in that direction, there they were—whales spouting water! They showed themselves a few more times after that. The staff said there were two of them, but did they all look the same to me? While we were stopped at the point searching, I went up on deck, but the side-to-side rocking was intense, and my back started to hurt, which was a bit tough. But it was a great experience. I was also very satisfied with the parasailing I did in the morning, as I was able to soar quite high.
当日受付のスタッフさんに、昨日は出ましたか?と聞いたら、すでにシーズン終盤で北上してしまったのか、見られなかったとの答えだったので、あまり期待していませんでした。でも船が出港して、乗船スタッフの人から、午前中の便であたりをつけてあるので、見られるチャンスはあるとのこと。期待が高まりました。しかし、揺れる揺れる!およそ1時間10分。ついにポイントに到着したら、最初は長く沈黙が続いていたのですが、誰かが歓声を上げたので、その方向を見てみると、いましたいました。潮吹くクジラ。その後も何度か水面に姿を見せてくれました。スタッフさんは2頭いるといっていましたが、どれも同じように見えたのは自分だけ?ポイントで止まって探しているうちは甲板に上がってみていたのですが、横揺れがひどく、腰が痛くなり、ちょっと辛かったなぁ。でもいい体験でした。午前中に体験したパラセーリングもかなり高く舞い上がれたので、とっても満足でした。
