All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I had seen many stars from the top of a mountain, but it was my first time seeing them from over the ocean. From the ocean, there was nothing obstructing the view, and I was able to see so many beautiful stars! They also explained the constellations, and I had a really enjoyable time.

山の上からたくさんの星を観たことはありましたがら海の上から観たのは初めてでした。海の上からだと遮るものもなく、本当にキレイな星がたくさん見ることができました！星座の説明もしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated with my close friend on October 29 (Monday)!! It seems that swimming was prohibited due to the typhoon until the day before, so I thought we wouldn't be able to do it, but we could on the day!!! ★☆ Since we were at a hotel in Naha City, they came to pick us up, and we were excited to join! ＼(^^)／ However, the waves were really strong that day... The ferry ride was more thrilling than a roller coaster... (laughs) I felt like I was floating while sitting down, it was crazy! It was a continuous "This is insane!" moment... (laughs) (They said it was due to the typhoon. Apparently, it’s not usually like this, but since it was my first time, I wouldn’t know! (laughs))

The ferry was super fast, and I wanted to say, "Please go slow!!" It was really. (laughs) Even though I took motion sickness medicine, I still felt nauseous. There were participants in front of me who probably didn’t take any motion sickness medicine, and they were getting sick... (laughs) I almost felt like I was going to join them ( ˘•ω•˘ ).｡oஇ (laughs) But the staff stood up on that crazy ferry, taking care of those who felt sick, and I thought that was amazing...! (T ^ T) They were attentive to all the participants and checked in on us!! (>_<) Thankfully, I didn’t get sick, so after we arrived at our destination, we were able to dive and snorkel☆★

Due to the typhoon, it seems we went to a different spot than usual... I was really disappointed that we couldn’t see the sea turtles we were hoping to see. But the water clarity was incredibly amazing despite the high waves♡♡♡♡ I got to see lots of beautiful fish, so I was very satisfied♡ When we weren’t diving, we were free to snorkel around the ferry anytime, and we went to three spots, swimming almost entirely in the water♡

I was surprised by how many staff members there were!! Plus, there were staff members from Hong Kong and Australia, so I thought it would be easy for international guests to join! ★★ On the day, there were people speaking Chinese and English, so I felt reassured knowing there were interpreters available!! Also, the staff members got along really well! ★ Their conversations were super entertaining, and the atmosphere was really friendly♡♡ It was fun because various staff members came to talk to us!! The sea was so beautiful, and since we were there, we did an extra dive too♡＼(^^)／

They provided drinks like tea, coffee, and miso soup, as well as snacks and lunch, and I thought this price was a bargain♡♡ If I had to say something negative... I was a bit disappointed that there were only a few photos taken, and I wished they had taken a few more. When I dived at another place, the staff had food for the fish and let us feed them! I thought it would have been even better if they had let us feed the fish during this dive too♡♡

Also, I ended up tired and went home, but I wanted to take pictures with the staff! (laughs) I regretted it when I got home with my friend! (laughs) I want to go again next year during a time when there are no typhoons, so let’s take pictures together then!! ＼(^^)／♡♡

10/29(月)に仲良しの友人と参加しました！！
前日まで台風の影響により遊泳禁止だったようで、、、できないだろうなと思っていましたが当日はできました！！！★☆
那覇市内のホテルだったので迎えにきてくれて、ウキウキで参加！＼(^^)／
しかし当日は波がすごくて、、、
往復のフェリーはジェットコースターよりすごい、、、(笑)座ってる自分が浮くくらいで、ヤバイ！これヤバイやろ！の連続、、、、(笑)
(台風の影響だからだそうです。普段はこんなんじゃないとのことですが、、、初参加なので分かりません！(笑))

フェリーもめっちゃ早いから、ゆっくりお願い！！と言いたいくらいでした。本当に。(笑)
酔い止めを飲んでいても気持ち悪くなりました。
目の前にいた参加者で、酔い止め飲んできてなかったのだろうと思われる方々がゲロゲロしておりまして、、、(笑)
もらいゲロしそうでした( ˘•ω•˘ ).｡oஇ(笑)
でも、スタッフさん達はあの激しいフェリーの中、立ったまま乗られてて、気持ち悪い方々の介護をされててすごいなぁと、、、！(T ^ T)参加者全員に気を使って声を掛けてくれていました！！(>_<)
なんとか吐くまでではなかったので、目的地に着いてからはダイビングとシュノーケルができました☆★
台風の影響でいつもとは違うスポットに行ったようで、、、
お目当てのウミガメには会うことができなくて、とても残念でした。
でも海の透明度は波が高いのにすっごくヤバかったです♡♡♡♡綺麗なお魚もたくさん見れてる大満足でした♡
ダイビングしてない間はいつでもフェリーの周りでシュノーケルして楽しんでくださーい！という自由な感じで、3ヶ所行き、ほぼ海の中で泳がせてもらいました♡

スタッフの方がとにかく多くて、ビックリ！！
しかも、スタッフの方の中に香港の方、オーストラリアの方がいたので、海外の方も気軽に参加できるなぁと思いました！★★当日、中国語や英語で話されてる方がいたので、海外の方も参加していらして、通訳ができる方がいるから安心できるなと思いました！！
あとスタッフの方々同士めっちゃ仲が良い！★
トークもめっちゃ面白いし、ほんと和気藹々としてました♡♡いろんなスタッフさんが話しかけてくれるから楽しかったです！！
海もすごく綺麗だし、せっかくだから追加ダイビングもしました♡＼(^^)／
お茶、コーヒー、味噌汁などの飲み物や、お菓子、お昼ご飯も付いていてこの値段は破格だなと思いました♡♡
強いて言うなら、、、
写真が数枚だったのが残念で、もぅ少し撮ってほしかったのと、他のところでダイビングした時はスタッフさんがお麩のエサを持っていて、エサやりをさせてくれました！！エサやりもせっかくのダイビングならやらせてくれたらもっといいなぁと思いました♡♡

あと、最後疲れて帰ってしまいましたが、スタッフさん達と写真撮りたかった！(笑)帰って友達と後悔！(笑)
また来年は台風の来ない時期に行きたいと思いますので、その時は一緒に写真撮りましょうね！！＼(^^)／♡♡

The guide was fun and explained everything clearly, which was great. It was cold, so I appreciated the consideration of providing blankets. However, things related to nature are inevitably affected by the weather at that time. It must be much more beautiful normally, but it was a bit disappointing due to the clouds. Still, they did their best to provide service given the circumstances.

案内してくれる方が楽しくわかりやすく説明してくださり、とても良かったです。寒かったので毛布などの配慮もありがたかったです。ただ、やはり自然に関するものはどうしてもそのときの天候に左右されてしまいますね。本来もっときれいなんでしょうが、雲が多くて少し残念でした。でもそのときなりの状況で精いっぱいサービスしていただきました。

A few days before the experience, it seemed there were some effects from the rain, but on the day itself, we were blessed with wonderful weather, making it the best experience. Even before it started, the staff member was very friendly and took some photos, which helped me relax before entering the sea. His smile was absolutely wonderful.

Once in the water, I was amazed at how close the fish were! During the feeding experience, I was almost worried that my fingers would be eaten because the fish were so eager to get the food, which was both scary and fun. The Blue Cave was beautiful as well.

I would love to visit again when I return to Okinawa. Thank you for all the great photos!

体験数日前までは、雨などの影響もあったようですが、当日はお天気に恵まれて最高の経験でした。始まる前にも担当のお兄さんからも声がけしてもらえたり、写真も撮っていただいてリラックスして海に入れました。そしてお兄さんの笑顔が素敵すぎました。
海に入ったら、こんなに魚が近いの？！というくらい近く、餌やり体験では指が食べられてしまうのではと思うくらいに、お魚さんの食い付きがよくて怖楽しかったです。青の洞窟もキレイでした。
また沖縄に訪れた際には伺いたいです。
写真も沢山ありがとうございました！

After arriving in Okinawa on the afternoon flight, I searched for activities and ended up at Sunset Kayak. The weather was perfect, and I was able to enjoy the sunset fully.

Since the beach was almost deserted, I could relax and watch the sun go down, which was a truly luxurious experience. It's essential to wear a swimsuit as you'll get splashed when getting in and while paddling, but you won't get soaked, so it wasn't cold even in November.

After the experience, I appreciated being able to rinse off with a quick warm shower, and it was nice to receive photos on the spot.

午後便で沖縄到着後、何かできるアクティビティがないかと探してたどりついたサンセットカヤック。お天気にも恵まれてしっかり夕日を拝むことができました。
人がほとんどいないビーチなのでのんびりまったりと日が落ちるのを眺められ、とても贅沢な時間でした。乗り込む際や漕いでいると水がかかるので水着は必須ですが、盛大に濡れるわけではないので11月でも寒くありませんでした。
体験後は軽くシャワー(温水)で流し、その場で写真がいただけたのもありがたかったです。

The cloudy sky had some gaps where stars were finally visible here and there. I had planned to see the Milky Way clearly, but it ended up being just a glimpse in my mind's eye. Also, it might be difficult due to the operation of the boat, but since we were offshore within the range of city lights, it seems that seeing the stars beautifully is quite challenging.

曇り空でところどころの雲の切れ間からようやく星がちらほら。
がっつり天の川を見るつもりだったので、心の目で見る程度になってしまいました。
と、船の運行上難しいのかもしれませんが、街の明かりが届く範囲の沖なので、やはりきれいに星を見るのは難しいのかなぁ。

I participated with someone who was diving for the first time.

The day before, we received a message about the meeting time, and on the day of the dive, they came to pick us up in front of the hotel in the morning.

We boarded the boat, received a lecture, and then it was time to dive! The 20-minute dive felt too short. However, we were able to see clownfish and sea turtles, and there was one instructor for every two of us, which made us feel safe while diving.

After diving, there was a drink service and time for snorkeling, which allowed us to relax.

However, after diving, we could only use the boat's shower, so we couldn't use shampoo or anything like that, and our hair ended up feeling sticky until we returned to the hotel to wash it.

They also took some photos for us, but there weren't many, which was a bit disappointing...

ダイビング初体験の人と一緒に参加しました。

前日に集合時間の連絡が入り、当日は朝ホテル前へ送迎に来てくださいました。

船に乗船し、レクチャーを受けて、いざダイビング！
物足りない20分のダイビングはあっという間でした。
でも、カクレクマノミや海亀に会うことができ、二人に対して一人のインストラクターさんがフォローしてくださり、安心して潜ることが出来ました。

ダイビング後はドリンクのサービスやシュノーケルの時間もあり、まったり出来ました。

ただ、ダイビング後は船のシャワーなのでシャンプーなどは出来ませんので、ホテルに帰ってからシャンプーしないと髪の毛はベタベタです。

写真も撮ってもらいましたが、少なくてちょっと残念でした…

We participated as a family of five due to my parents' strong desire to see sea turtles. The day before, we were informed that the event might be canceled due to the typhoon, and I was worried about whether we would be able to go, but I'm glad we could participate safely. The sea was rough, and the boat was rocking a lot during the trip, but my mother was thrilled, saying it felt like a roller coaster… (laughs).

Since it would be a long time on the boat, I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. After we arrived, we first went snorkeling, and the whole family was excited about the high visibility. During the diving session, my parents in their 50s struggled a bit with the experience, but the instructor was very helpful, and we were able to take a family photo underwater. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any sea turtles, but we were very satisfied to fully experience the ocean in Okinawa for a day.

The captain talked to us a lot, and when I mentioned that this trip was a celebration of my parents' silver wedding anniversary, all the staff celebrated with us. That alone made us very happy, but they also took a photo of our family with the staff and made it into a card, which they presented to us as we were leaving. I never expected such a gesture, so both my father and mother were very touched and delighted. That photo is now displayed in our room. Before the experience, my parents said it would be their first and last diving trip, but now they are talking about wanting to go again. I truly believe it became an unforgettable memory for us. I was grateful for the thoughtfulness of the staff. Thank you very much.

ウミガメを見たいという両親の強い希望もあり、家族5人で参加させていただきました。
台風の影響でもしかしたら中止になるかもしれないと前日にご連絡をいただき、大丈夫かなと心配していたのですが、無事参加することができてよかったです。海が荒れていて移動中の船はすごく揺れましたが、母はジェットコースターみたいだと大喜びでした…笑
長時間の乗船になるので、酔い止めは飲んでいた方がいいかなと思います。
到着後、まずはシュノーケリングをしましたが、透明度の高さに家族みんな大はしゃぎでした。続いてのダイビングでは50代の両親が初めての経験に苦戦しましたが、インストラクターの方が良くしてくださり、水中で家族全員揃っての写真を撮ることができました。ウミガメを見ることは残念ながらできませんでしたが、沖縄の海を1日フルに体験できて大満足でした。
船長さんもたくさんお話ししてくださり、その雑談の中で今回の旅行が両親の銀婚式のお祝いだということを話すと、スタッフの皆さんが全員でお祝いしてくださいました。それだけでも十分嬉しかったのですが、私たち家族とスタッフの皆さんで写真を撮ってくれ、それをカードにして帰り際にプレゼントしてくださいました。まさかそんなことをしていただけるとは思ってもいなかったので、父も母も大変感激し喜んでおりました。その写真はいま部屋に飾られています。体験前は両親ともに最初で最後のダイビングだと言っていましたが、今ではまた行きたいねと話しています。本当に一生忘れられない思い出になったと思います。スタッフの方々のお心遣いが嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The sky was cloudy, and I couldn't find the North Star at all. I wondered if this is what the starry sky in Ishigaki Island is like... The constellations weren't fully visible, which was disappointing.

雲が多く、北極星が全然見つけられなかった。
石垣島の星空はこんなものかと…
星座は完全には見えないし
残念

It was my first time diving, but the instructor taught me carefully in a two-on-one setting, so I was able to dive without any anxiety. The waters of Kerama are rich in fish species, and I even encountered a sea turtle. Unlike snorkeling, I was able to observe them up close, which was truly moving. The boat had two toilets and showers, and there were services for water, hot water, and snacks, which was great. Additionally, lunch included a bento box with miso soup, which was more than enough. Above all, the view of Kerama Blue was amazing. The pick-up and check-in process was very smooth, which was also great. If I visit Okinawa again, I would definitely like to use this service once more.

初めてのダイビングでしたがインストラクターの方がツーマンセルで丁寧に教えていただくことができたので不安なく潜れました。慶良間の海は魚の種類が豊富で、ウミガメにも出会うことができました。シュノーケリングとは違いより近くで観察することができたので感動しました。船上にはトイレ、シャワーが２つずつあったり、お水、お湯、お菓子のサービスがあったのでよかったです。また、昼ごはんもお弁当に味噌汁がついていたので十分でした。何より慶良間ブルーの景色が最高でした。送迎や受付もとてもスムーズでよかったです。また、沖縄に訪れることがあれば、もう１度利用したいと思いました。

It was my first time paddleboarding, but the instructor taught us in a friendly and enjoyable manner. While strengthening my core, I was able to leisurely experience the ocean!

Although the Blue Cave was closed for snorkeling, our veteran instructor took us to a great spot where we even encountered a cute pufferfish!

I would love to do this again! Thank you very much!

初SUPでしたが丁寧かつ楽しく教えて頂き、体幹鍛えながらペースも合わせて頂き海をゆうゆうと体感出来ました‼︎
シュノーケルは青の洞窟が閉まっている日だったのですが、ベテランインストラクターさんだったので良いスポットまで連れて行って頂いてゆるキャラハリセンボンにも出会うことが出来ました‼︎
またお願いしたいな-と思っています‼︎
ありがとうございました‼︎

The day before, I received a notification from the Marine House store that the points might change due to high waves. On the day of the trip, they picked me up at the hotel and we arrived at the port. I quickly changed into a wetsuit and we set off for the Kerama Islands' points. On the way, due to the high waves, it felt like a roller coaster, but we arrived at the points safely. Although the waves were rough, I was impressed by the clarity of the sea. I was able to see tropical fish up close thanks to the feeding, and it was clear that the staff was making an effort to delight the guests. Unfortunately, the points were changed from three to two, but the staff handled the guests who were feeling seasick without any complaints, which was excellent. This time we went snorkeling, but next time I want to challenge myself with scuba diving in calmer waters. It was a memorable and enjoyable time.

マリンハウス店より前日、高波の影響によりポイントが変更になる可能性ありと連絡があり。当日ホテル迄迎えに来て頂き港に到着。早速ウエットスーツに着替えて慶良間諸島のポイントに出発。途中高波の影響によりジェットコースター状態でスリルを味わいながらポイントに到着。波は荒かったが透明感のある海に感動しました。熱帯魚も餌付けで近くで見ることが出来スタッフもゲストを喜ばそうと工夫しているのが伝わって来ました。あいにくポイントは3ヵ所から2ヵ所に変更されましたが、船酔いのゲストにも嫌な顔をせず対応頂いたスタッフは最高でした。今回はシュノーケリングでしたが今度は穏やかな波でスキューバに挑戦したいと思います
思い出にに残る楽しい一時でした。

Overall a great experience and the team went beyond expectations! Staff were extremely friendly, including Corey who assisted our English group. The winds were strong the day we went so the tour company made arrangements to find alternative dive spots to accommodate the group.

The night before, we suddenly decided that we wanted to see the starry sky and made the decision to participate.

However, unfortunately, around 5:00 PM on the day of the event, we received a message saying, "Due to the clouds, there is a possibility that we won't be able to see the starry sky today. Would you still like to participate?" Since we were coming from afar and it’s not easy to visit Ishigaki Island, and although there were clouds during the day, there were also clear skies, I thought it would be better to take the challenge rather than give up in this weather! In the end, I decided to participate! I had a hard time making the decision, but I was impressed by how kindly the staff answered our questions and concerns over the phone (o^^o).

Around 9:00 PM, as we got off the bus with excitement...
the starry sky was breathtaking (≧∀≦)! The staff's explanation using a laser light was easy to understand, and we were also able to see the moon that night, which was exhilarating. During the approximately one hour of viewing time, we were able to see the starry sky for more than half of the time without clouds, which made us very satisfied!

For those who are hesitant because of the possibility of not being able to see the starry sky, I recommend taking the chance to participate if you have the time and money to spare.

On the other hand, there were a couple of things I would like to see improved.
1. I would like to be informed in advance about the prohibition of photography on-site. I had planned to take photos with my camera that day, but it was not allowed. I think it would be great to include a note about this in the tour details beforehand.

2. I would like to know the dress code. It got very cold at the site at night. I think many people only brought light clothing to Ishigaki Island. Although they lent us blankets on-site, I still felt that it was not enough to keep warm. I wish this could have been confirmed in the tour details before participating.

前日夜に急遽『星空が観てみたい！』ということになり、参加を決めました。

しかし残念ながら、当日17:00ごろに『本日は雲が多いため、星空が観れない可能性があります。それでもご参加されますか？』という連絡が。。
遠方からの参加で石垣島にはなかなか来れず、また日中は雲は見受けられたものの晴れ間が広がっていたのでこの天候の中諦めるよりはチャレンジしたい…！と思い、最終的に参加する判断をしました！！
なかなか参加を決められずにいましたが、電話で私たちの質問や相談に丁寧にご回答してくださったのが好印象でした(o^^o)

夜21時ごろ、ドキドキしながらバスを降りたところ…。
満点の星空が見える(≧∀≦)！！
レーザーライトを使ったスタッフさんの説明が分かりやすく、またこの日は月も一緒に見ることができ、大興奮でした。
約1時間の鑑賞時間のうち、半分以上の時間は雲に隠れない星空を見ることができ大満足！

星空を見れない可能性がある…と連絡がきて迷われている方は、お金と時間に余裕があればぜひ参加する方に挑戦いただくのがオススメです。

一方で、改善していただきたいことが2点ほどありました。
①現地での写真撮影禁止を事前に教えてほしい。
当日はカメラを持っていき写真撮影をする予定でしたが不可でした。ぜひ事前に一言、ツアー詳細に掲載していただきたいと思います。

②服装の目安を教えてほしい。
夜の現地はとても冷え込みました。石垣島には薄手の服しか持参されていない方も多いと思います。
現地ではブランケットを貸していただきましたが、それだけでは足りない寒さを感じました。
こちらも参加前にツアー詳細で確認できたら良かったな、と思います。

This time, I participated with my son.

Since I had work on weekends and my son had club activities during the weekdays in summer, we couldn't go anywhere, so we decided to visit during the autumn test break. It was a mother-son trip during a time when he is entering adolescence, but the result was truly worth it. My son kept repeating how much fun he had diving on the return flight, and he continued to say it for a while after we got home.

This was because the tour we joined was excellent!

From the moment they picked us up, they were very kind and shared various recommendations for delicious places near the hotel. Once we set sail, they thoroughly explained the diving precautions and underwater signals. When we dove, the instructor who was in charge was a super handsome Australian who spoke fluent Japanese!

Even after diving, they patiently followed up with me when I panicked and forgot the signals, staying by my side the whole time.

During the second snorkeling session, they diligently searched for sea turtles and successfully found one for us! It was so moving!

Even during the car ride back, they shared stories about their work in various regions, which seemed to be a great opportunity for my son to think about his future. I definitely want to participate again next time.

I highly recommend it! Thank you very much! 😊

今回は息子と2人で参加しました。

土日に私が仕事で、夏休みも平日は部活があり休みが合わず、どこも出かけられなかったので秋のテスト休みに伺いました。
思春期にさしかかる時期での母子旅行でしたが。。結果は本当に行って良かったです。
息子は帰りの飛行機でもダイビングは楽しかった、楽しかったと何度も繰り返し、家に帰ってからもしばらくは言い続けていました。

というのも、こちらのツアーがとても良かったからです！

まずお迎えに来てくださった時から親切で、ホテルの近くの美味しいお店など色々教えてくださいました。
実際に出航して、ダイビングの注意事項や水中でのサインをしっかり教えて貰えます。潜る時には担当のインストラクターさんが交代されましたが、日本語がペラペラの超イケメンのオーストラリア人の方でした！

潜ったあとも、サインを忘れてパニックな私を丁寧にフォローしてくださり、ずっとついてて下さいました。

２回目に入水したシュノーケリングでは、ウミガメを一生懸命探して下さり、見事に見つけてもらえました！！感動です～！！

帰りの車中でも、各地域でのお仕事の話を聞かせてくれて、息子にとって将来を考えるとても良いきっかけになったようです。
次回またぜひ参加したいと思いました。

とってもオススメです！
ありがとうございました(^-^)

The shuttle bus to the hotel was great! Since it was an unfamiliar place, I was really happy with that service. It was my first time diving, but I was able to enjoy it safely! The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, which made it easy to ask questions and dive with peace of mind. The scenery was beautiful, and the transportation to the dive points was excellent. I highly recommend this shop if you visit Okinawa; you can have a great time even with introductory diving. Next time I go to Okinawa, I plan to visit again and get my diving license!

ホテルまでの送迎バスがgood！見知らぬ土地なので、それだけでもスゴく嬉しいサービスでした。
人生初のダイビングでしたが、安全に楽しめました！フランクで話しやすいスタッフの方々でしたので、疑問や質問もしやすく安心して潜ることができました。
景色もとても綺麗でポイントまでの移動も最高です。沖縄に行った際は是非このショップはおススメです、体験ダイビングでも十分に楽しめます。
今度沖縄に行った際はまたお邪魔させていただき、今度はライセンスを取ろうと思います！

On the day of the tour, perhaps due to the typhoon, it was windy and cloudy. Since I arrived early, I was able to join the regular mangrove tour. The guide was a refreshing person, and I had a great time.

当日は台風の影響なのか風が強くしかも曇り…早目に着いたので通常のマングローブツアーに参加させていただきました。
ガイドさんは爽やかな方で楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。

The sea was crystal clear, and I was satisfied even with just snorkeling! The staff were very accommodating, and I felt glad to have come to Okinawa! I was able to swim with turtles, and when I fed the fish, many of them came around. I want to go again. It's a tour that I can easily join when I come to Naha, so I want to go with my friends again. Even in October, the sea was warm with a temperature of 27 degrees, so this time of year is also great! I was glad that I didn't get seasick. There were also many photos with turtles in them.

海が透け透けで、シュノーケルでも満足でした！スタッフさんの対応も良く、沖縄に来て良かったと思いました！
亀と一緒に泳げたり、お魚に餌をやるとたくさん来たり、また行きたいです。
那覇に来た時もすぐ来れるツアーなのでまた友達と行きたいと思います。
１０月でも海が暖かく気温が27度ありましたのでこの時期も最高ですよ！
船酔いもせずにいけたので良かったです。
写真もたくさん亀が写ってました。

One of us was diving for the first time in our lives, while the other had a license but hadn't dived in over ten years and had mostly forgotten everything... The instructors provided us with thorough guidance, and once we actually dove, all our anxieties disappeared.

Perhaps due to the aftermath of the typhoon, the visibility wasn't great, but it was still beautiful. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see any sea turtles, but if given the chance, I would love to experience the Kerama Blue at a different time of year.

Overall, it was a very reassuring diving experience.

片方は人生初のダイビング、もう片方はライセンス持ちですが10年以上潜っていないのでほとんど忘れている…そんな私たちに丁寧にレクチャーしてくださり、実際に潜ってからはそれまでの不安が吹っ飛びました。
台風が過ぎ去った後の影響なのか、透明度は今ひとつに感じましたが、それでもきれいでした。
ウミガメを見ることが出来なかったのが少し残念でしたが、機会があれば、違う時期の慶良間ブルーも体験したいと思っています。
すべてにおいて安心できるダイビングでした。

It's been five years since I last visited Okinawa. My purpose this time was to see the sunset over the blue sea and go snorkeling. Unlike my previous trip, I participated in a tour to the Kerama Islands. The first snorkeling spot was amazing, just as expected from Kerama! I even got to see sea turtles, which was fantastic. This year, due to the many typhoons, the water temperature was a bit low, but it was no problem at all with a wetsuit. The second spot was disappointing as there were fewer coral reefs. On that day, the wind and waves were high, and the return trip was quite bumpy, making it tough for the women on board. Even those who usually don't get seasick might need some motion sickness medication. The sea of Kerama truly is the best!

5年ぶりの沖縄。
目的は夕陽の青い海、シュノーケリングです。
今回は前回と違い慶良間諸島に出かけるこのツアーに参加しました。
最初のポイントはさすが慶良間！海ガメにも会えて最高でした。今年は台風が多かったせいか水温が低めとの事でしたがウエットスーツがあればまったく問題なしでした。
2箇所目のポイントは珊瑚礁が少なく残念でした。
この日は風、波が高く帰りの移動はかなり揺れて女性の方はかなりつらそうで可哀想でした。
普段大丈夫の人でも酔い止め薬は必要かも。
やはり慶良間の海は最高でした！

I took a late summer vacation in October and decided to try diving! A shuttle bus arrived at the hotel around 7:30 AM, and they kindly stored my suitcase in a corner of the shop.

I quickly changed into my wetsuit on the boat and enjoyed a luxurious boat trip while gazing at the sea on the second floor... or so I thought, but perhaps due to the influence of a distant typhoon, there were big waves and a lot of rocking! It was quite thrilling for someone like me who isn't fond of roller coasters.

I thought we would visit three spots, but this time it was only two. The first stop was a shallow coral reef for snorkeling, and the vibrant underwater world was breathtaking! I was moved by the colorful fish and fascinating marine life. It was a dreamlike view that I could gaze at forever.

Since we were scheduled for two dives, we did two dives at the second location. While I felt a bit uncomfortable with breathing through my mouth, I thoroughly enjoyed the underwater world and even spotted a sea turtle from a distance! During the second dive, we encountered a large shark! My friend and I were excited, but according to the instructor, it was a small shark, which made us laugh.

Looking up at the boat from the seabed and seeing the sparkling surface of the sea were all first-time experiences for me.

I was very satisfied with the ocean, but there were a few things that concerned me. One was during lunch; participants received bento boxes, but the instructors ate instant noodles and playfully splashed leftover soup into the sea. I was laughing, but it was hard to find it funny while watching.

Additionally, valuables can be stored before boarding, but when it was time to retrieve them, the valuables box was left open on the table!? The cashier was calling out, "Payments here!" while my wallet was still... After waiting for a while, I ended up retrieving it myself. The security didn't seem very reliable, so it might be better to take only the essentials.

If that had been the end of it, I wouldn't have minded so much, but there was a problem with the payment, and I had to transfer money later. Since the amount was significant, I confirmed multiple times on the day, and I received assurance that everything was checked at the register, yet the company seemed quite unprofessional. The phone response was also lackluster, even though it was their mistake.

While the ocean was wonderful, I got the impression that the company is still immature and poorly managed. It's very disappointing, especially since it was a special trip.

10月に遅めの夏休みを取得し、折角ならとダイビングに挑戦！
朝は7:30頃にホテルに送迎バスが来てくださり、スーツケースは店舗の隅で預かってもらえました。
船で早速ウェットスーツに着替え2Fのフロアで海を眺めながら優雅な船旅…かと思いきや、遠いとはいえ台風の影響か？大波大揺れ！ジェットコースター苦手な私にはとてもスリリングでした。

3ヵ所まわるのかと思ってましたが、今回は2ヵ所。
1ヵ所目は珊瑚礁の浅瀬でシュノーケル、覗いた海中の鮮やかなこと！ニモや不思議な動植物に感動しました。
いつまでーもぼーっと眺めていられる、夢のような景色です。
2ダイブの予定だったので2ヵ所目で2回のダイビング、口呼吸の違和感を覚えつつ海の世界を堪能、遠目ではありますが海ガメ会えました！
2回目は何と大きなサメが！友人と騒いでましたが、インストラクターさんによると、小さいサメだったようで笑
海底から見上げる船底、キラキラ光る海面、どれも初めて目にするものでした。

海に関しては大満足、ただ気になったことも。
１つはランチ時、参加者はお弁当を頂きましたが、インストラクターの方々はカップ麺を食べ悪ふざけなのか仲間に残ったスープをぶっかけそのまま海へザバーッ
それ、いいの！？笑ってましたが見てるこちらは笑えませんでした。
また、貴重品は乗船前に預かってもらえますが、受け渡し時貴重品Boxを机の上にオープン状態で放置！？レジ担当者は『お会計はこちらでーす』なんて呼んでいるし、でも財布はまだ
…しばらく待ちましたが結局自分で回収しました。あまりセキュリティは期待できないので最低限だけを持っていく方がいいかもしれません。
ここで終わればまだそんなに気にならなかったのですが、会計に関しトラブルがあり、後日お金を振込む事になりました。
金額が大きいので当日何度もこちらから確認し、レジもチェック済みで間違いないという回答があったのに会社としてあまりにもお粗末、電話対応は店側のミスにも関わらず面倒くさそうな対応でもやっとしました。

海は素晴らしかったものの、会社的にはまだまだ未熟で管理がなってない印象を受けました。
折角の旅行だったのにとても残念です。

I participated with a friend.
It was my first time snorkeling in Kerama, so I joined this tour!
Even from the boat, I could see how beautiful the sea was, and when I actually dove in, there were so many fish!
However, on the day we participated, there were some waves, which seemed to make it a bit challenging for beginners.
There were many participants, and it felt like one staff member was responsible for about eight people, making it difficult to guide beginners as we mostly stayed close to the boat, which was a bit disappointing.
Due to the waves, the boat was also swaying, and some people felt seasick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication before participating!
The boat had a second floor, and I enjoyed the view from up there.

友達と2人で参加しました。
慶良間でシュノーケリングは初めてだったのでこちらのらツアーに参加しました！
船の上からでも海のキレイさがわかるほどで実際に中に潜ってみると魚がたくさんいました！
ただ参加した日は波が少しあり、初心者の方は少し大変そうでした。
参加者も多く、ひとりのスタッフにつき8人ぐらいを見る感じでしたが初心者の方を引き連れて移動するのは難しく船の近場をうろうろする程度だったので少し残念でした。
波があった分、船の揺れもあり酔われている方もいたので参加する際は酔い止めの薬を飲んでいるほうがいいように思います！
船は二階にも上がれ私は景色を見て楽しめました。

I was glad that the boat had a toilet, shower room, and changing room. It was also helpful that there was cold water and warm tea available. Since it was a larger boat, I didn't have to worry about seasickness.

There were more fish near Manza Cape, but the sea had outstanding clarity. It was a shame that snorkeling was only allowed from a distance since free diving was prohibited.

Although I didn't get to see any sea turtles while diving, I was able to see clownfish.

船にトイレ・シャワールーム・更衣室が付いててよかったです。冷たい水、温かいお茶が付いていたのも助かりました。大きめな船なので船酔いも心配なかったです。

魚の量は真栄田岬の方がいました、、、、しかし海は抜群の透明度でした。素潜りが禁止されていたため、シュノーケルの時は遠目でしか魚を見れなかったのが残念でした。

ダイビングではウミガメには会えなかったものの、クマノミに会うことができました。

We've snorkeled before, but nothing way out into the ocean where you can see so much stuff! Okinawa was amazing! snorkeling off the Kerama Islands was amazing - there were sooooo many fish, and so many different kinds of fish!

Loved the half day experience because we didn't have too much time, and I worried my son and I would be quite tired on an all day trip.

Positives - the boat ride there was pretty nice. Heading back was a bit fast and I was a bit more sea sick, even after taking Dramamine (first time using the Natural Dramamine though).

Liked the fact that they take photos for us. (using a hero6 black, so nice camera)

We saw lots of lots of fish. I saw all kinds and even saw Nemo. :)

Negatives - There were a number of people on our tour so you have to get ready a bit faster... I felt a bit rushed trying to get my wetsuit on, and having to help my son put on two.. actually, their wetsuits were not the newest and maybe too thin so my son had to put on two.

Having to follow your tour guide snorkeling, he was quite quick so I ended up getting a bit tired fast. If we had a smaller group, or maybe if I wasn't with my son, it'd be a bit easier.

There was another mom with a younger 5 year old, and the guide actually pulled them using a boogie board so that is an option if you are going with younger children.

You have to shower on the boat so it's not really a shower where you can wash yourself with soap, etc.

Would I go again? Of course! It was amazing! But now I know what to expect . Seasir was an efficient company. Our guide spoke English and communication wasn't a problem.

Look forward to trying snorkeling again in other places soon!

Despite the typhoon, the sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was moved! I visited three spots and was thrilled to meet the sea turtles I had been looking forward to! The instructor caught sea cucumbers and starfish for us to touch, which was an experience you can't have on other tours! There were so many fish in the water, and I was completely absorbed in swimming! Since it was October, the water temperature was a bit low, but I had a great time seeing the beautiful sea and lots of fish! I definitely want to join this tour again!

台風後なのに、海がとても綺麗で感動しました！
3スポット回って、楽しみにしていた海ガメにも会えて最高でした！
インスタラクターの方が、ナマコやヒトデを取ってくれて実際に触ったりと他のツアーでは体験できないこともできました！
海の中もたくさんの魚がいて、夢中になって泳いでました！10月という事で、水温は少し低かったですが、綺麗な海とたくさんの魚を見れてとても楽しかったです！
またこのツアーに参加したいと思います！

The waters in Okinawa are so clear that you can see the fish, and they were even more beautiful than what I saw on social media. The water temperature was not as high as I expected, and wearing a wetsuit made it very easy to move around. The instructor was attentive from start to finish, so I felt completely safe. They also took a lot of photos with a GoPro, which made for wonderful memories.

The instructor caught sea cucumbers and starfish for us to touch and hold! They were also very quick to find sea turtles, and I was able to see them up close for the first time and take many pictures! I was really happy about that.

I think it would be even better to have your own camera or GoPro! Also, since there was still plenty of sunlight, I recommend bringing sunscreen if you don't want to get sunburned!

沖縄の海は魚が見えるくらい透き通っていて、SNSで見るよりもすごくすごく綺麗でした。思ったよりも水温は高くなくて、ウエアを着るととても動きやすかったです。インストラクターの方が最初から最後まで気にかけてくださるので、全く怖くありませんでした。また、ゴープロで写真もたくさん撮ってくださって、すごく思い出に残るものとなりました。
インストラクターの方が、ナマコやヒトデを捕まえてきてくださって、実際に触ったり持ったりすることもできました！また、ウミガメを見つけるのもすごく早くて、初めて身近に見ることができ、たくさん写真を撮ることもできました！すごく嬉しかったです。
自分用のカメラやゴープロがあるとなお良いと思います！また、まだまだ太陽の光はあったので焼けたくない方は日焼け止めを持ってきておいたほうが良いと思います！

At first, I thought I would just be shown to my seat and left to look around, but then the guide started. The way they spoke and guided us was very pleasant, and the hour flew by. I had originally booked for the first day, but changed it to the next day due to the weather forecast. On the day I changed, they kindly contacted me to say that the weather might not be very good. They asked how I wanted to proceed, which really touched my heart. The explanations were timely, and I was drawn into the world of stars. I feel like I'm going to love stargazing even more from now on. I happened to be there on a full moon, and I was able to see the entire moon clearly through the telescope, which was very moving. If I have the chance again, I will definitely participate. The pointer is amazing!

始め、席に案内され、勝手に見るだけなのかな？と思ったら、ガイドが始まりました
お話の仕方や進め方がとても心地よく、あっという間の1時間でした。
当初初日に予約してましたが、天気予報から翌日へ変更。
変更した当日はわざわざご連絡いただき、もしかしたらあまり天気に恵まれないかも？どうしますか？との心遣いに心うたれました笑
タイムリーに説明を受け、引き込まれるように星の世界へ。
今後、星空がますます好きになりそうです。
たまたま満月にあたり、望遠鏡で月の全体をハッキリ見せていただき、とても感動しました。
また機会があったら必ず参加させていただきます。
ポインターは凄いですよ

This time, we participated as a couple!
First, the shuttle service to the hotel! From there, we moved to the shop, changed into wetsuits inside, and headed to the port without wasting any time—it was very smooth!
The waves were strong, and the boat rocked a lot on the way to the dive site, but since I took motion sickness medication beforehand, I was able to enjoy the scenery without getting seasick, which was great.

And then, diving!!
Both of us were worried about whether we could dive properly since it was our first time, but we had one instructor for every two people, who closely monitored us underwater, which made us feel very reassured!
The underwater visibility was excellent, and we were able to see the coral reefs and fish perfectly, allowing us to truly enjoy the experience.
Even after the diving was over, we had the freedom to snorkel or jump into the water from the boat, making the most of our time!

The diving time flew by, so I want to try a full day of diving next time or even get a license!
The ferry ride also had restrooms, and they provided drinks, so we were comfortable throughout the journey!
Even beginners can dive with confidence, and the staff were friendly, so I would love to participate again!

今回は夫婦で参加しました！！
まずは、ホテルまでの送迎！そこからお店に移動し、店内でウェットスーツに着替えて港へと時間に無駄もなくとてもスムーズでした！
ポイントまでは、波が強く船が大きく揺れましたが、事前に酔い止め薬を飲んでいたので、船酔いをすることなく景色を楽しみながら向かうことが出来たのも良かったです。

いざダイビング！！
2人とも初めてでちゃんと潜れるかとても心配でしたが、2人に1人のインストラクターの方がついてくださって、水中でも私たちの様子をしっかり伺いながら潜ってくださったのでとても心強かったかったです！
水中も透明度もよく、サンゴ礁や魚もバッチリと見ることが出来て心から楽しむことが出来ました。
ダイビングが終ってらも、自由にシュノーケリングをしたり、船から水面へシャンプしたりと時間を余すことなく楽しめました。

潜る時間があっという間に過ぎてしまったので、次は1日ダイビングやライセンスも取得したいと思いました！
移動中のフェリーもお手洗いもあり、飲み物の用意もしてくださっていたので快適に過ごせました！
初心者でも安心して潜れるし、スタッフの方も良心的でまた参加したいと思いました！

Everyone was excited for their first snorkeling experience. I had a 6-year-old and a 4-year-old, and both of them had a great time and said they wanted to do it again! The staff was kind, and the kids felt safe. I would love to book again when we go snorkeling!

全員が始めてのシュノーケリングでドキドキでした。6歳と4歳の子供がいたんですが、2人とも楽しくで、またやりたいと言ってました‼︎
お姉さんも優しく、子供達も安心してました。
また、やる時もお願いしたいです‼︎

Unfortunately, the originally scheduled tour date was canceled due to cloudy weather. Since stargazing was a major goal of my trip to Ishigaki Island, I rescheduled for the next day and participated in the tour. The daytime weather was decent, so I was hopeful that the view would be nice! However, by the start time, there was a thick cloud cover, and I could barely see Mars peeking through the clouds (laughs).

It was disappointing, but since the moon was close to being full, I was able to enjoy moon gazing with the telescope that was provided, and I could see the craters! Although I couldn't see the stars I was aiming for, I was satisfied with the moonlight bath and the enjoyable stories about the night sky.

I would definitely like to try again, and I rated the experience a bit lower, but I’m glad I participated in the tour this time. Next time I join, I plan to research the phases of the moon thoroughly so I can go and enjoy a perfect starry sky. Thank you!

もともと予定していた参加日があいにくの曇り空だったためツアーが中止となりました。石垣島旅行は星空鑑賞が大きな目的だったので次の日に日付変更し、ツアー参加させていただきました。日中の天気はまずまずだったので綺麗に見えるかも！と期待しながら参加！…したものの開始時間になると分厚い曇り空で、雲の合間から火星がなんとか見えるくらいでした(笑)
残念でしたが月が満月に近かったこともあり、用意していただいていた望遠鏡で月鑑賞をし、クレーターまで見ることができました！
お目当ての星空は見れませんでしたが月光浴と、楽しい星空のお話を聞くことができ、満足です！
ぜひリベンジしたいと思い、評価は低めとさせていただきましたが今回ツアーに参加できてよかったです。次回参加する際は、月の満ち欠けなどよくよく調べてから満点の星空を眺めに行きたいと思っています。ありがとうございました。
