Amazing experience for beginners!

We had such a wonderful experience with both the snorkeling and canoe tours.

As complete beginners who are not particularly athletic, we were a little nervous at first. However, Shoto (hope I spell right your name, Staff #416) and Ana were incredibly patient, encouraging, and attentive throughout the entire experience. They always made sure we felt safe and comfortable, explained everything clearly, and never rushed us. Thanks to their support, we were able to relax, enjoy the beautiful ocean and…

Thanks to their support, we were able to relax, enjoy the beautiful ocean and canoe, and even gain confidence along the way.

Beyond the activities themselves, what impressed us most was the genuine warmth and hospitality of the Okinawan people. Everyone we met was so kind, friendly, and welcoming, which made this trip even more memorable.

Thank you, Shoto, Ana, and the whole team, for making our first snorkeling and kayaking experience such a special one. We will definitely recommend your tours to our friends and hope to come back to Okinawa again in the future!

At the Blue Cave, the tide wasn't too high, so we were able to take a lot of photos both inside and outside the cave! Also, the guide's explanations were thorough, which made the experience enjoyable!青の洞窟では、潮の高さがあまり高くなかったので、洞窟内、外両方でたくさん写真を撮っていただきました!
また、ガイドさんの説明も丁寧で楽しむことができました!

This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave, and it was my first time snorkeling. The guide was very reliable, which made me feel at ease, and I had a great time on the tour! Additionally, I learned a lot about various fish, making it a very satisfying experience! The coral was beautiful, and I got to see many different fish, which was amazing! 😁今回は青の洞窟のシュノーケルツアー参加さして頂いたんですけど、初めてのシュノーケルで、ガイドさんがとても頼れる人で安心感があり楽しくツアーできました!
それにいろんな魚の知識を教えてもらい大満足のツアーになりました!
珊瑚もとても綺麗でいろんな魚もみれて最高でした😁

The snorkeling was of course fun, and the sea was beautiful. Sakura, who was in charge, not only explained about the fish and the blue cave but also shared various recommendations for restaurants, making the travel time enjoyable as well!シュノーケルはもちろん楽しかったし、海も綺麗でした。担当してくださったさくらさんは魚や青の洞窟の説明だけでなく、おすすめのご飯屋さんなど色々な話をしてくださり、移動時間も楽しく過ごせたのがよかったです!

The weather was nice, and the sea was calm, which felt great. The guide constantly checked on our condition, which made us feel very safe. It was great that they led us even though I couldn't swim. I was able to spend time pleasantly with the other participants in the tour, and it truly became a wonderful experience. Thank you very much!天気も良く海も穏やかで気持ちよかったです。ガイドさんが始終、私達の状態を見てくれて、とても安心出来ました。泳げなくてもずっと引率してくれてよかったです。
ツアーの参加した他の方々とも雰囲気よく時間過ごせて、本当に素敵な体験になりました。ありがとうございました!

I had a reservation for snorkeling at the Blue Cave, but due to the typhoon, it was changed to canoeing in the mangrove river. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. It started pouring rain along the way, but that was fun in its own way.青の洞窟のシュノーケルを予約していましたが台風の影響でマングローブの川でカヌーに変更になりました。ガイドさんはいろいろ説明してくれて親切でした。途中で土砂降りになりましたがそれはそれで楽しかったです。

I enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave beach and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the mangrove river. The guides were very kind and taught us well. I was able to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. It was my first experience with SUP, but I managed to stand up and paddle. Thank you for providing such a great experience.青の洞窟の海岸でシュノーケルとマングローブの川でSUPを楽しみました。ガイドの方達はとても親切に教えてくれました。
シュノーケルではキレイな魚を見れました。
SUPは初体験でしたが、なんとか立って漕ぐことができました。良い経験をさせていただいて、ありがとうございました。

I participated in a snorkeling and SUP tour. Both activities took place in the rain, but the timing for the SUP was particularly heavy downpour. However, thanks to the guide's thorough lectures and explanations, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!シュノーケリングとサップのツアーに参加させていただきました。
両方とも雨天の中の催行でしたが、特にサップのタイミングはなかなかの土砂降り。
でも、ガイドさんの丁寧なレクチャーと説明で、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

Even in the rain, the mangrove canoeing became the best memory! 🛶☔️ Paddling in sync with my friends, I felt excited every time we passed through the mangrove tunnels! It felt just like being part of an expedition.

During the blue cave snorkeling, the sun miraculously came out, and it was so moving! ✨ I was able to see the coral reefs and cute fish up close, and I truly had a wonderful time. 🐠💙

It ended in the blink of an eye, and I had so much fun that I thought, "I want to swim more!" …

雨でも最高の思い出になったマングローブカヌー🛶☔️
友達と息を合わせて漕ぎ、マングローブのトンネルを抜けるたびにワクワク!まるで探検隊になった気分でした。

青の洞窟シュノーケルでは、奇跡的に太陽が出てくれて感動✨
珊瑚礁や可愛い魚たちを間近で見ることができて、本当に幸せな時間を過ごすことができました🐠💙

あっという間に終わってしまって、「もっと泳いでいたい!」と思うほど楽しかったです🏝️
