All Reviews for 浮潛（シュノーケリング）

As I expected, there were a lot of fish! It would have been amazing to meet a sea turtle! I definitely want to join the snorkeling again, so I recommend it!

思っていた通り沢山の魚がいました！
ウミガメに会えたら最高だったのにーでした！
また参加したいシュノーケルでしたので、おすすめですよ！

I was concerned about safety with children, but the guide was surprisingly attentive and supportive, which I truly appreciated. I was impressed by how thoroughly they took care of us as tourists. Even though it rained during the activities, we still had a great time and everyone was satisfied.

子供がいて安全面が不安だったのですが、ガイドさんが予想以上にしっかり寄り添っていただいて本当にありがたかったです。
観光客相手にここまで丁寧にしていただけるとは感動しました。
アクティビティも途中で雨が降ってしまったのですが、それでもすごく楽しめて皆満足でした。

I was able to see many fish and sea turtles while being taught carefully, even with the children around. Thank you very much.

子供達がいるなか、丁寧に教えていただけて、魚、ウミガメもたくさん見れました。
ありがとうございました。

The access was convenient, and I was happy to participate easily! The snorkeling was fun, and I was very satisfied. I even saw a sea turtle, and the guide was very kind, so I'm glad I joined!!

アクセスも便利で気軽に参加できるのが嬉しい！シュノーケリングも楽しく大満足でした。
ウミガメも見れたし、ガイドさんもとても親切で参加して良かったです！！

We participated as a family. Since we have four children, I was a bit worried, but the instructor was very kind and provided thorough support, allowing everyone to feel safe and enjoy themselves. The sea turtles were a bit far away, but they were very large, and I was moved to see them in the real ocean. The water was very clear, and there were many fish, which kept the children excited the whole time. The explanations regarding safety were also detailed, and I was really impressed by how gently they spoke to the little ones. We created lifelong memories as a family. Thank you very much!

家族で参加しました。子どもが4人いるので
少し心配でしたが、インストラクターの方がとても優しく丁寧にサポートしてくださり、みんな安心して楽しめました。
ウミガメは少し遠くにいましたが、とても大きくて本物の海で見られたことに感動✨
海の透明度が高く、魚もたくさんいて、子どもたちはずっと大興奮でした。
安全面の説明も丁寧で、小さい子にも優しく声をかけてくださったのが本当に印象的でした。
家族で一生の思い出ができました。ありがとうございました！

In April of this year, I participated in a snorkeling tour with Pipi in Miyako Island, and it was so great that I decided to go with Pipi again for this trip to Ishigaki Island! There was a plan on VELTRA called "Second Person Free," so I greedily joined the "Kabira Bay SUP & Mysterious Island Snorkeling Full-Day Tour." The day before, I received a message from Pipi saying, "Due to weather conditions, the snorkeling point will be changed to Osaki Beach," but it turned out to be a great decision! I think it resulted in a very fulfilling day.

The snorkeling at Osaki Beach allowed us to see beautiful fish and coral reefs, and although there was a bit of wind during the SUP at Kabira Bay, I was able to paddle while standing on the board! During the drive to our destination, the staff's stories were enjoyable, and their attention to the participants during the tour was very considerate, which made it easy to engage in the activities with peace of mind.

After the tour, I think it's a nice touch that we could use the shower booths near the island terminal for free. I highly recommend this experience!

今年4月に宮古島で参加したpipiさんのシュノーケリングツアーがとても良かったので、今回の石垣島でもpipiさんにしよう！と決めていました。
VELTRAさんで【2人目無料】というプランがあったので、今回欲張って［川平湾SUP&幻の島シュノーケル1日ツアー］に参加しましたが、前日にpipiさんから「天候の影響で、シュノーケルポイントが大崎ビーチに変更になる」との連絡を頂きましたが、結果大正解！で、非常に充実した1日になったと思います。
大崎ビーチでの美しい魚たちや珊瑚礁が見られるシュノーケリングと、川平湾でのSUPは少々風はありましたがボードの上で立ち漕ぎすることもできました！
車で目的地まで移動中も、スタッフさん方のお話も楽しかったし、ツアー中の参加者への気配りも大変細やかだったので安心してアクティビティに挑むことができました。
終了後は、離島ターミナル近くのシャワーブースで、シャワーが無料で利用できるのもポイントだと思います。本当におすすめです！

You can meet sea turtles right away! There are also many beautiful fish, and it's so much fun that time flies by while you're diving. I wish I could have swum more.

すぐにウミガメさんに会える！
きれいなお魚もたくさんいてて、ずっと潜ってられるくらい楽しくて時間があっという間に過ぎてしまいます。
もっと泳ぎたかったなぁ。

Due to the typhoon, I wasn't sure until the last minute if I could participate, but I was able to join without any issues. The staff were all very kind, the atmosphere was great, and the facilities were easy to use—absolutely the best! 😆 I will definitely repeat when I go sea kayaking and snorkeling again. Mac-chan and Chida-chan are the best‼️

台風の影響でギリギリまで出来るか分からない状況でしたが無事参加出来きました。スタッフの方も皆さん親切で雰囲気が良く、施設も使い易く最高😆またシーカヤック&シュノーケルをする際はリピート確定。マッちゃん、チダちゃんサイコー‼️

We participated as a family of four. The guide taught us the basics of snorkeling, and everyone really enjoyed it! We were able to see several sea turtles and colorful fish, which was very moving! I was surprised by the high quality of the photos sent to us that day! Thank you very much! 🎶

家族4人で参加しました。付いてくれたお兄さんがシュノーケリングの基本を教えてくれて、みんな本当に楽しむことができました！ウミガメに何匹か会えたり、カラフルな魚に会えたりしてとても感動しました！当日送っていただいた写真の画質が良くてびっくりしました！ありがとうございました🎶

We participated as a family of three. The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful with its stunning blue color, and we were very moved. There were concerns about whether we could go due to high waves, but they made the right decision, and we were really glad we could go. During the snorkeling to the cave, we were able to see many beautiful fish. Our guide, Sen-chan, was really kind, and we felt safe and had a great time throughout. My daughter was thrilled and said she wants to do it again! I definitely want to do this again when we go to Okinawa. Thank you, Sen-chan! The staff at the shop were all very friendly as well. It became a wonderful memory.

家族3人で参加しました。
青の洞窟はびっくりするほど綺麗な青でとても感動しました。
波が高く行けるか行けないかという事でしたが適切な判断をして下さり行く事ができ本当に良かったです。
洞窟までのスノーケルもたくさんの綺麗な魚を見る事ができました。
ガイドをして下さったセンちゃんが本当に優しくて終始安心して楽しく満喫できました。
娘もまたやりたい！！と大喜びでした。
また沖縄に行った際は必ずやりたいと思います。
センちゃんよろしくお願いします(^^)
ショップのスタッフの方もみなさんとても感じがよかったです。
いい思い出になりました。

I had previously experienced snorkeling and diving but ended up feeling seasick. This time, I took medication after a long time and participated. When I first entered the sea, I was having fun and was completely absorbed. Gradually, I started to feel nauseous from the waves, and by the first break, I was already done. I couldn't get back in for the second time, which was disappointing. If I hadn't gotten seasick, I could have enjoyed it much more! I envy those who don't get seasick. But I'm glad I participated. I would have been even happier if I had been able to see a turtle.

The staff members were all kind and wonderful. Thank you very much.

以前にシュノーケリング、ダイビングを
体験して酔ってしまい💦
今回久しぶりに薬を飲んで参加しました。
海に入り、始めは楽しくて夢中でした。
だんだん波に酔ってしまい、
一回目の休憩で上がった時には
もうダメで、
2回目は、海に入れませんでした💦残念
船酔いしなければ、
もっともっと楽しめたのに❗️
船酔いしない人が羨ましいです💦
でも参加して良かったです。
カメに会えたらもっと嬉しかったです。

スタッフの方々は、
皆さん優しくて良い方でした。
ありがとうございました。

The staff members were very kind and attentive, which made me feel at ease.

On the day I participated, there were about 30 people, and although there was some waiting time for preparations, there was plenty of time to enjoy, so it wasn't too bothersome.

スタッフの皆さまがとても親切で丁寧なので、安心できます。

私が参加した日は30人くらいいて、もろもろ準備待ちの時間があったものの、遊ぶ時間はしっかりあったのでさほど気になりませんでした。

Both instructors were kind, and I felt safe participating! It seemed like the instructors were friends with the sea turtles, and we got some wonderful photos. I had plenty of time and had a very satisfying experience!

インストラクターの2人も優しく、安心して参加出来ました！
インストラクターさんはウミガメとも友達みたいで素敵な写真が出来ました
(っ ॑꒳ ॑c)
時間もたっぷりで、大満足な体験をさせてもらいました♡

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea of Ishigaki Island, both from above and below the water. The instructors were refreshing and kind, providing a sense of security, which left a very good impression. Additionally, the free GoPro rental and the availability of barley tea on the boat, along with clean restrooms, made for a comfortable experience.

Regarding the reviews, while some tours may have systems like "discounts for high ratings" or encourage evaluations in front of staff, there was none of that here. They simply handed me a card with a QR code for a review site at the end, which I appreciated as it did not feel forced.

I believe the reason for the many high ratings is that they truly provide excellent service. It was a tour I could confidently recommend to acquaintances.

石垣島の美しい海を、海上からも海中からも存分に堪能できました。インストラクターの方々は爽やかで優しく、安心感があり、とても好印象でした。さらに、GoProの無料貸し出しや、船内の麦茶サーバーやお手洗いなど、利用者に嬉しいサービスも整っていて快適に過ごせました。

口コミに関しては、ツアーによっては「高評価を書けば割引」といった仕組みや、スタッフの前で評価をするよう促される場合もありますが、ここではそのようなことは一切ありませんでした。最後に口コミサイトのQRコードが載ったカードを渡されるだけで、評価を強要しない点もとても好感が持てました。

それでも高評価が多いのは、本当に良いサービスを提供しているからだと思います。安心して知り合いにもおすすめできるツアーでした。

The weather was nice, and the 30-minute boat ride to the island was wonderful with a refreshing breeze. There was a proper beginner's explanation for snorkeling.

At the phantom island, we were repeatedly told, "Please wash your feet and take off your sandals so we don't get sand in the boat!" The photo service was only available twice, once during the boat ride and once at the phantom island. There were no interesting anecdotes or lively discussions; it was quite subdued and straightforward. But perhaps that's not such a bad thing.

天気も良く、ボートで島に向かう(30分くらい)のは、風が気持ちよく最高でしたわ。シュノーケルの初心者説明もちきんとありました。
幻の島では、『ボート内に砂を入れたくないので、サンダルと足を洗って！』と何回も言われ…。写真撮影サービスもボート乗船中と幻の島での2回のみだったわ。面白いうんちく説明やトークはなく粛々淡々としてたの。でも、それはそれで良いんじゃないかしら。

At first, I was scared of the ocean, but the various pieces of advice and the attentive service made it very enjoyable. Initially, I was a bit nervous thinking that fish might bite, but with the advice and the ease of feeding them, I became comfortable entering the water! Although I couldn't see anything from above, once I went in, I was able to see the beautiful scenery! It was a lot of fun♪ Thank you for the valuable experience!!

最初は海が怖かったけど、色々なアドバイスなど、丁寧に接してくれてとても良かったです👍最初は、魚など噛んでくるかと思い少し緊張して怖かったですが、アドバイスと共にエサもあげやすくなって海に入るのも平気になりました！真上から見ると見えないのに改めて中に入るととてもキレイな景色が見られました！楽しかったです♪貴重な経験ありがとうございました！！

As a 50-year-old man traveling alone, I participated on the last day of my two-night, three-day trip, utilizing the morning hours since my flight was in the evening.

When I toured the mainland, I noticed that the sea wasn't as clear as I had expected, which made me wonder. When I asked at the rental car shop, they explained that Okinawa experiences a lot of rain showers, and when rainwater rushes down from the mountains into the sea, it can get murky.

They mentioned that sometimes you just have bad timing. I was feeling disappointed and debated canceling my snorkeling plans, but I thought the Kerama Islands would be fine. When I arrived, I was surprised to see the bottom about 10 meters down from the boat! I couldn't help but exclaim, "What!?"

Once I got into the water, it was so clear that it completely changed my perspective on life; I could see endlessly, so even though it was deep, I wasn't scared at all! Instead, I was captivated by the beauty, and my heart was racing the entire time!

Even as a solo traveler, the instructor was very engaging, and I had a wonderful time! 🎵

50歳男性ひとり旅、二泊三日の最終日
夜にはフライトだったので午前中の時間を利用して参加しました。

本土で観光地を回った時に海が思っていた程透明感が無く、あれ？って思ってレンタカー屋さんに聞いたら、沖縄はスコールが多くて、山から一気に海に雨水が流れ込むと濁るんだそうです。

タイミング悪いとこんな日もありますよと。
ガッカリしていたので、シュノーケリングはキャンセルしようかと悩みましたが、慶良間諸島は大丈夫だろうと半信半疑で来てみたら、船の上から10メートルくらいの底が見えてる！え！？って思わず声が出ました。

海の中へ入ったらもう人生観変わるくらい透明でどこまでも見えるから深くても怖く無い！
むしろ美しさに心が鷲掴みにされて頭がずっとバクってました！

おじさん1人でもインストラクターの方が相手してくれるのでとても楽しめましたよ🎵

This is a very nice snorkeling tour in Ishigaki. The guide is so kind of leading us have a wonderful snorkelling！

My 20-year-old daughter, who is not good at swimming, was having a blast like an elementary school student, wildly chasing after turtles! I was amazed by the number of sea turtles.

泳ぎが苦手な２０歳すぎの娘が小学生のようにはしゃいでカメを追ってめちゃくちゃ泳いでました！海ガメの多さに感動。

Until now, I had only participated in full-day courses, but due to scheduling, I joined a half-day course for the first time. The points were close by, and the water clarity was excellent, allowing me to fully enjoy Okinawa's beautiful islands.

今まで1日コースでしたが、日程の関係で初めて半日コースに参加しました、ポイントも近く透明度も抜群だったので、沖縄の🏝️を堪能できました。

It was a wonderful stand-up paddleboarding experience at Kawahira Bay with great weather! The blue sea and white sandy beach will be a lifelong memory. The guide provided thorough instructions, so I had no worries. I would love to participate again!

天気が良くて気持ちいい川平湾サップでした！
青い海に白い砂浜は一生の思い出になりました。
ガイドの方も丁寧にレクチャーしていただいて、不安はありませんでした。
また参加したいと思います！！

I started with snorkeling and had an extraordinary experience! It was a day that overwhelmed me with the beauty of the ocean in Okinawa!!!

Next time, I would like to participate in a mangrove tour as well.

シュノーケルから始まり、非日常を体験できました！沖縄の海の綺麗さに圧倒された1日でした！！！

次回はマングローブツアーにも参加したいと感じました。

I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time. Thanks to the guide Jiro's thorough instructions, I was able to stand up and paddle right away. The weather was nice, and the sea was clear, so it felt really good.

始めてsup をやりました。ガイドのじろうさんが丁寧なレクチャーをしてくださったおかげですぐに立って漕ぐように出来ました。天気も良く海が透き通っていましたので、とても気持ち良かったです。

This was my first time participating. I joined alone, but the staff were kind, and I felt at ease. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful, crystal-clear sea, the coral, and the fish, and I was very satisfied! I would like to participate again! Thank you!

初めて参加しました。
1人参加でしたが、スタッフさんが親切で安心して過ごせました♪
素晴らしい透明感の美しい海、珊瑚、魚たちを堪能できて大満足です！
また参加したいと思います！
ありがとうございました！

Yama-chan and Hikaru-chan were very kind and guided us, making it a precious and enjoyable lifelong memory! Thank you very much.

やまちゃんとひかるちゃんが大変優しく誘導してくれて、貴重な楽しい一生の思い出になりました！ありがとうございました。

Due to the impact of the typhoon, I received a notification the day before and instead of the Phantom Island, I experienced snorkeling at the Blue Cave. According to the guide, it was quite a lucky day, and I even got a 1,000 yen discount, so I was actually glad to have this option instead.

The guide kept the atmosphere lively on the bus, and even though most people were beginners, they regularly checked in with us, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

They also introduced various shops on the bus, which was very helpful. I want to try again next time!

台風の影響で、前日に連絡していただき、幻の島の代わりに青の洞窟のシュノーケル体験しました。ガイドさん曰くかなりの当たり日だったようで、1000円引きだったし寧ろこっちで良かったです。
ガイドさんが、バスの中でも盛り上げてくれ、ほとんどの人が初心者でしたが定期的に声をかけてくださり、安心して見ることができました。
バスの中で様々なお店を紹介していただき、大変参考になりました。
次はリベンジしたい！

The phantom island was very beautiful and mysterious. The guides were all very polite and it was a lot of fun. It became a wonderful memory.

幻の島はとても綺麗で神秘的でした。
ガイドの方も皆さん丁寧に接してくれてとても楽しかったです。最高に思い出になりました。

We participated in the 7 AM tour. The weather was great that day, and being early in the morning, the Blue Cave was like a private space just for my husband and me. Our guide, Mr. Kurosawa, was very kind and attentive, providing a comfortable experience that was easy for older couples, which greatly enhanced our enjoyment of snorkeling. I definitely think the 7 AM time slot is the best if you're going to participate. The tour was scheduled for two hours, but since it was just the two of us, we finished by a little after 8 and were back at the hotel by 9, allowing us to have breakfast. By around 8 when we got back on land, other tour groups were starting to arrive one after another, which was surprising. Indeed, the early bird catches the worm!

朝7時の便に参加しました。当日は天候も良く早朝なだけあり青の洞窟は私たち夫婦の貸切状態でした。ガイドの黒澤さんはとても親切で丁寧、熟年夫婦にも無理のない快適な案内で一層シュノーケリングの楽しさ倍増でした。参加するなら空いている7時が絶対にいいと思います。2時間とあったツアー時間でしたが私たち2人だけだったので8時過ぎには終わって9時にはホテルに戻り朝食を取ることができました。陸に上がった8時ごろには次々と他のツアーの人が訪れていて、びっくりでした。やはり早起きは三文の徳です！

The instructors for SUP canoeing and snorkeling were different, but they taught the basics in a very thorough and kind manner, allowing beginners like me to enjoy it even alone.

SUPorカヌー、及びシュノーケリングの異なるインストラクターでしたが、基礎的な事を懇切丁寧に教えて頂き、初心者、且つ1人でも十分楽しめました。
