All Reviews for Snorkeling

The sea was beautiful, and the guide (Tsubasa-kun) was kind and funny, making it the best tour! We were lucky to see sea turtles and got some wonderful photos taken! They sent the photos on the same day, and since they used a GoPro, the quality was really great. Thank you! If I have the chance to go to Miyako Island again, I will definitely participate.

海も綺麗で、お兄さん(つばさくん)も優しくて面白くて最高のツアーでした！
運良く海亀もみれて、素敵な写真も撮っていただきました！その日に写真も送ってくれて、GoProだったので画質もすごく綺麗でした、ありがとうございます！
また宮古島に行く機会があれば、絶対参加します

　

Thank you, guide Yamachan.

At the start of the tour, it began to rain, and we could hear thunder. The guide checked the weather information and adjusted the schedule, showing flexibility and ensuring a safe start to the tour. After a while, the skies cleared up, and we were able to experience the nature of Miyako Island. Of course, we also got to see sea turtles (two of them) and wild clownfish. The guide was very knowledgeable about the sea turtles. At the end of the tour, we received information about restaurants in Miyako Island, which was a nice bonus for us as tourists. The photos turned out great, and it became the best trip for our family of four.

ガイドの山ちゃん　ありがとうございました。

　ツアースタート時は、雨が降り始め、雷鳴も聞こえてました。ガイドの方が、天気情報を確認し、時間をづらすなど　臨機応変な対応で、安全にツアーがスタート。途中からは晴れ渡り、宮古島の自然を感じることができました。　もちろん　ウミガメ　(2匹) や　野生のニモ　も見ることができました。ウミガミの知識豊富。ツアー終了時は、宮古島の飲食店などの情報も教えて頂き、観光客としては嬉しいお土産付きでしたよ。
　写真も最高のできで、家族4人　最高の旅行になりました。

I thoroughly enjoyed the calm and clear sea. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but they taught me very carefully, and I was able to have fun. This was my fifth time snorkeling, including overseas, but the sea in Miyako Island was exceptional. I regretted not discovering Miyako Island sooner. The coral and fish were right there. I even got to see a sea turtle. This is definitely a tour you can participate in with peace of mind. I was very satisfied! Thank you very much. I'm already planning to come back next year.

穏やかで透明な海を満喫できました。SUPは初めてでしたが、とても丁寧に教えていただき、楽しむことができました。シュノーケリングは海外も含めて5回目でしたが、宮古島の海は別格でした。もっと早く宮古島に出会っていればよかったと悔やんだほどです。サンゴも魚もすぐそこに。ウミガメにも会えましたよ。間違いなく安心して参加できるツアーです。大満足！ありがとうございました。来年もお世話になりたいと、はやくも計画中です。

I experienced snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but I was told that I wouldn't know which one would come first until the day of the event. In the morning, we went snorkeling, and in the afternoon, we did SUP. Both activities offered beautiful waters and fun staff, making for a great experience. I was also very happy that the photos were of high quality and provided to us right away.

Although the morning and afternoon sessions had separate lunch breaks, I asked the staff for recommendations on places we could go in our swimsuits, and they suggested a fantastic spot that I highly recommend. The staff for the afternoon SUP took photos while introducing various recommendations, which was incredibly valuable information for us as first-time visitors to Miyako Island! Thank you very much!

However, I was a bit disappointed because this product was advertised as a sea turtle snorkeling tour, and I had expected a high chance of seeing sea turtles. Unfortunately, we were told that there were none at the beach we visited that day. Still, the experience itself was very enjoyable and a wonderful time!

シュノーケリングとsupを体験したのですが、どちらが先かは当日まで分からないとのことでした。
午前中がシュノーケルで午後にsupだったのですが、どれもとても美しい海と楽しいスタッフさんで良い体験ができました。
写真も画質が良くすぐにお渡しいただけるのも、とっても嬉しかったです。
午前と午後はお昼休憩は個別なのですが、スタッフさんに水着でも行けるおすすめを聞いて伺うと、そこもとても良くてむっちゃおすすめです。
午後のsupのスタッフさんも写真をとりながら、色々なおすすめを紹介してくださり、初宮古島の私達からしたら有益すぎた情報でした！ありがとうございました！
ただこちらの商品がウミガメシュノーケリングツアーという名で、ウミガメに会える確率が高いと思っていたので、当日行ったビーチにはおらず会えませんと言われたのが少し残念でした…でも、体験自体はとても楽しく良い時間になりました！

It was my first experience with snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, and the instructors were very kind and taught us well, making it a very enjoyable time! Although I didn't encounter any sea turtles, it was a tour that I thoroughly enjoyed! I want to try again when I come back to Miyako Island!

初めてのシュノーケリングとサップ体験でしたが、インストラクターのお姉さんとお兄さんが親切に教えてくれてとても気持ちよく楽しめました！海亀とは遭遇できなかったですが十分満喫できるツアーでした！また宮古島に来た時はリベンジしたいと思います！！

I was happy to meet many fish and the main turtle! My first experience with stand-up paddleboarding was pleasant. The tour guide, Tsubasa, was considerate towards small children, making it a tour enjoyable for both adults and kids.

沢山の魚たちとメインのカメにも会えて嬉しかったです！初めてのサップは、気持ちが良かったです。ツアー担当のツバサ君の小さな子供への気遣いもあり、大人から子供まで楽しめるツアーでした。

I had a great time! The sea turtles were very cute, and I was happy to see them! The instructor was kind and taught us a lot about Miyako Island, which made it really enjoyable!

とっても楽しかったです！
ウミガメもとても可愛くて会えたのが嬉しかったです！
インストラクターの方も親切で、宮古島の色んなことを教えてくれてとても楽しかったです！！

I went snorkeling for the first time, and even though I'm not a good swimmer, they carefully taught me how to put on the equipment, which made me feel safe to participate. I was able to see sea turtles and fish up close, and it was a very enjoyable tour.

初めてシュノーケリングをし、泳ぎも苦手なものですが、器具の付け方から丁寧に教えていただき安心して参加できました。ウミガメや魚を近くで見ることができ、とても楽しいツアーでした。

I received very polite communication from the day before, which made me feel at ease to participate. On the day of the event, the explanations were also very thorough and kind. I was able to see four sea turtles and took many photos, creating wonderful memories! They recommended spots in Okinawa and mentioned that we might be able to see sea turtle hatching since it was a full moon. Although we didn't see the hatching, going to the beach at night allowed us to enjoy the beautiful full moon reflecting on the sea, along with the stars and scenery. Matsuura-san provided perfect follow-up after the tour, and I truly appreciated it! I look forward to visiting Miyako Island again. Thank you very much!

前日からすごく丁寧なご連絡をしていただいて
安心して参加できて当日も説明も凄く丁寧で優しくてもらって海亀も4匹も逢えて写真もいっぱい撮っていただいて最高の時間と思い出をいただきました♡
沖縄のおすすめスポットや今日は満月で海亀の孵化が見れるかもって教えてもらったり♡
孵化は見れませんでしたか夜にビーチまで行ったおかげで凄く綺麗な海に映る満月と星と景色でした⭐︎
ツアー後のアフターフォローまで完璧な松浦さんで本当に本当によかったです！⭐︎
また宮古島に来る時はよろしくお願いします♡
ありがとうございました♡♡

The instructor, Yamachan, and Yurina-chan were friendly and made it easy for me to relax. The beach was changed due to weather conditions, but the coral and fish were very beautiful and it felt great! They also diligently searched for sea turtles, and I was so happy to see one up close at the end. The turtle's breathing was adorable!

インストラクターのやまちゃんとゆりなちゃんが気さくに話してくれて、緊張せずできました。気象状況でビーチが変更になりましたが、サンゴと魚がとてもキレイで気持ちよかった❗️ウミガメも熱心に探してくれて、最後にとても近くで会えて嬉しかっです亀の息継ぎが可愛かった

We participated as a group of three, and each of us was able to experience both SUP and canoeing. We were able to take a lot of photos, and we were very satisfied. It was great to have many photos taken during snorkeling as well.

I would love to do it again!

3人での参加で、それぞれSUPとカヌーを体験できました。
たくさん写真も撮ってもらえましたし、満足でした。
シュノーケリングでもたくさん写真を撮ってもらえて、良かったです。

また、お願いしたいです！

Yama-chan, our guide, explained everything kindly and thoroughly, making it a very enjoyable time.

Although it wasn't sunny on the day of the tour and there was some light rain, the water was clear and beautiful, allowing us to see sea turtles up close.

Even for those who can't swim, Yama-chan pulls a float, so you can participate with peace of mind!

Seeing the turtles made it an overall fantastic tour!

Thank you, Yama-chan!

担当者やまちゃんが優しく丁寧に説明してくださり、とても楽しい時間になりました。

当日晴天ではなくパラパラと雨が降っていましたが、水中は濁りなく綺麗でウミガメを間近で見ることができました。

また、泳げない方でもやまちゃんが浮き輪を引いてくれるので安心して参加できます！

タートル見れて、トータルして最高のツアーでした！

やまちゃんありがとう

Family (couple, son in 4th grade, daughter in 2nd grade) - First snorkeling tour
We had the opportunity to meet many fish, including sea turtles and Nemo.

My daughter was initially anxious, but thanks to our guide (Yama-chan) holding her hand, she felt secure, grew to love it, and said she had a lot of fun.
As a parent, I was also able to enjoy snorkeling without worrying about my daughter.

I want to go snorkeling again.
And when I do, I will use Veltra again.

家族（夫婦　息子小4、娘小2）　初　シュノーケルツアー
ウミガメ、ニモなどたくさんのお魚と出会わせて頂きました。

娘が、最初は不安だったけど、ガイドのお兄さん（やまちゃん）が手を繋いでくれたおかげで、安心して、大好きになり、とても楽しかったと言ってました。
親としても、娘の事をケアせずにすみ、シュノーケルを楽しめました。

また、シュノーケルしたいと思いました。
そして
その時は、またベルトラを利用します。

I was guided by a guide named Matsuura! I was worried because I'm not good at swimming, but thanks to Matsuura's kind and attentive guidance, I was able to have a great time! I was also able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see, and I was very satisfied. The photos taken were sent to me that same night, and Matsuura also shared recommendations for gourmet food and sightseeing spots in Miyako Island, allowing me to fully enjoy my time there! Thank you very much.

松浦さんというガイドさんに案内をしてもらいました！泳ぐのが苦手で心配でしたが、松浦さんが優しく丁寧にガイドしてくださったおかげで、楽しく過ごすことができました！念願のウミガメにも会うことができ、大満足です。撮影していただいた写真もその日の夜には送っていただき、また宮古島のおすすめのグルメや観光スポットも教えていただき、宮古島を満喫することができました！ありがとうございました。

I was guided by a guide named Yamachan. I participated with a small child, and they kindly guided us at our pace! The explanations were easy to understand. I was satisfied to finally meet a sea turtle!

やまちゃんというガイドさんに案内してもらいました。小さな子供を連れて参加しましたが、こちらのペースに合わせて優しくガイドしていただきました！説明もわかりやすかったです。念願の海亀に会えて満足です！

Miyako Island is famous for its sandy beaches. Today was sunny with strong sunlight, and the sandy beach beneath the water was very beautiful. At Shinjo Beach, you can almost 100% encounter sea turtles. The sea turtles are friendly with humans, so you can easily approach them and swim together. Matsuura was kind and guided us. I made great memories.

宮古島は砂浜として有名です。
今日は晴れて日差しも強くて水面下の砂浜が広がっていてとても綺麗でした。
新城海岸では海亀とほぼ100％会えます。海亀さんも人間と親しんでいるので、近づいて一緒に泳ぐことが完全にできます。
松浦さんは親切に案内してくれました。
いい思い出を残しました。

I go to Miyako Island 2 to 5 times a year. This time, I participated with two adults and three children (ages 11, 9, and 7)! Our guide (Komecchi) was very kind and always looked out for our 7-year-old child. It was the most fun I've ever had!

The ocean is incredibly beautiful, and we even got to see sea turtles, as I mentioned in the title, it's the best!!! I think this is the perfect plan for those considering a tour to see sea turtles.

年に2〜5回は宮古島に行きます。
今回は大人2人と子供3人(11歳 9歳 7歳)で参加しました！
ガイドさん(こめっち)も優しく、7歳の子供を常に気にかけていただきました(^^)
今までで、一番楽しかったです＼(^o^)／

海はいわすもがな綺麗で、ウミガメにも会えるしタイトルにも書きましたが最高です！！！
ウミガメに会えるツアーを検討される方に最適なプランと思います

We participated as a family of four, including two boys aged 1st and 5th grade. Along the way, our 1st grader got tired and started to complain, saying he wanted to go home, but the staff patiently handled the situation. Thanks to being able to rest on a float, he revived and enjoyed the experience until the end. The staff constantly engaged with our two children, allowing the whole family to have fun. Thank you very much.

The recommended places in Miyako Island that you shared later were very helpful, and we were able to enjoy delicious Miyako soba the next day, which made us very satisfied. Minato Shokudo was incredibly delicious. Thank you, Matsuura-san.

小学1年と5年の男の子2人含む家族4人で参加しました。途中、1年生の次男が疲れてグズグズして、もう帰ると言い出したりしたのですが、辛抱強く対応してくださり、浮き輪に乗せてもらって休憩できたからか、復活して最後まで楽しめました。子供2人にずっと話しかけて気にかけてくださり、家族みんな楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました。
後で教えていただいた宮古島オススメのお店達は、翌日早速参考になり、美味しい宮古そばを食べる事ができて大満足です。みなと食堂さん、めっちゃ美味しかったです。松浦さん、ありがとうございました。

Yamachan told us a lot of stories about turtles and even taught us how to swim, making it the best tour ever! We were able to take great photos with the sea turtles too! When I come back to Miyako Island, I hope to join again.

やまちゃんが亀のお話いっぱいしてくれて泳ぎ方まで教えてくれて最高のツアーでした♡
ウミガメともしっかり写真撮れました！！
また宮古島に遊びに来た時はお願いします

Guide Yamachan was kind and provided detailed guidance safely, offering a wonderful time! They took many photos for us, and thanks to them, we have the best two-shot pictures with sea turtles and Nemo. Thank you very much! We look forward to seeing you again.

ガイドの山ちゃんさんが、親切にそして安全にきめ細かく案内して下さり、楽しい時間を提供して下さいました！写真も沢山撮って頂き、お陰様でウミガメともニモとも最高のツーショット写真です。本当にありがとうございました！またどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。

In a word, snorkeling with instructor Yamachan was amazing! Since you can enter the sea directly from the beach, you can practice breathing techniques in shallow water, and he provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the fins, making it enjoyable even for beginners! The shallow Shinjo Beach is reassuring because you can see the bottom the whole time.

There was an incident where water got into my mask, but Yamachan lent me a special mask and watched over me, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

I also learned a lot about Miyako Island's gourmet food beyond snorkeling, creating wonderful memories. I highly recommend it! The sea turtles' breathing was super cute! ^_^

一言で言えば、インストラクターやまちゃんとのウミガメシュノーケル最高でした！
　浜から直接海に入れるので、足の着くところで息継ぎ練習もできるし、フィンの使い方など一つ一つレクチャーしてくれて、初心者でも楽しいっ！遠浅の新城海岸は底がずっと見えているので安心でした。
　途中、マスクに水が入るアクシデントがあったのですが、やまちゃん専用のマスクも貸してくださり、そばで見守ってくれていて安心感の中、楽しむことができました。
　シュノーケル以外の宮古島グルメまでたくさん教えてもらい、最高の思い出ができました。
とってもおすすめですよ〜！！
ウミガメの息継ぎ超かわいかったっ^_^

Since it started with sup, I was able to take pictures with my makeup on as long as I didn't fall, which was really great! The explanation of sup was easy to understand, and they guided us without any pressure, paying close attention to each person! They talked to us a lot, like suggesting that it’s easier to progress while sitting when the wind is strong, which made everything clear! Also, they were bright and wonderful, and it was enjoyable throughout!

Since there was a 1-2 hour gap after sup before snorkeling, I think it’s better to research lunch spots and tourist attractions in advance! (I think it’s good to find places that are okay with swimsuits and wet clothes.) We had taco rice and soki soba at a nearby place (like a beach house), and it was very delicious! ✨

The snorkeling was incredibly beautiful, with crystal-clear water, and we could see a lot of fish! They provided detailed explanations about the fish, which made it even more enjoyable! Even if you can't swim, you can hold onto a round float, so it's reassuring! Plus, during the photo session, they held my hand and swam with me to my husband.

This was our first experience with sup and snorkeling as a couple, and it was so much fun, creating the best memories for our honeymoon! Thank you so much, Rinka!

supからだったので、落ちない限り化粧したままの顔で撮ってもらえるので、すごくいいです！
supの説明もわかりやすく、無理なく進めてくださり、ひとりひとりよく見てくださっています！
風が強い時は座った方が進みやすいなど、たくさん話しかけてくださり、わかりやすかったです！
それと、明るくて素敵な方で、
終始たのしかったです(^^)
supのあと1〜2時間ほど時間をあけてからのシュノーケルだったので、事前にお昼ごはんや観光場所などを調べている方がいいとおもいます！(水着や濡れていても大丈夫なお店がいいとおもいます) わたしたちは、前にあるお店(海の家のようなところ)でタコライスとソーキそば？をたべました！とてもおいしかったです✨
シュノーケルは海がすごくすごく綺麗すぎて、透き通っていて魚がたくさん見れました！魚の説明も丁寧にしてくださるので、より楽しめました！
泳げなくても丸い浮き輪のようなものを持たせてもらえるので安心です！それに写真の時手を繋いで一緒に主人のところまで泳いでくださりました
supとシュノーケルはわたしたち夫婦は初体験でしたが、すごくたのしかったですし、新婚旅行で最高の思い出になりました！りんかさん、本当にありがとうございました

I didn't think it would be so easy to encounter sea turtles, but I saw one right after we started snorkeling! I was so moved to swim with it!
Also, not only did I get to see sea turtles, but I was also taken to spots where I could see other fish, and I had a great time.
They took a lot of photos for me, which became wonderful memories! ^_^

ウミガメに出会えるのはそう簡単ではないとおもっていましたが、シュノーケルが始まってすぐ出会えました！一緒に泳げて感動しました！
また、ウミガメだけでなく、他の魚も見れるスポットも連れていっていただき、十分楽しめました。
写真もたくさんとってもらい、思い出になりました^_^

We used a tour for our family trip. Our guide, Matsuura, was very pleasant and provided thorough explanations, making it an incredibly enjoyable time. I was deeply moved to see a sea turtle up close, something I had only seen in an aquarium! In addition to the photo data, he also sent us a list of recommendations for Miyako, showing wonderful thoughtfulness, and he was handsome too! Thanks to Matsuura, we created the best memories of this trip. Thank you!

家族旅行でツアー利用しました。
ガイドの松浦さんがとても感じがよく、丁寧に説明をしてくれて最高に楽しい時間となりました。
水族館でしかみたことのないウミガメを近距離でみれてとても感動！
写真のデータの他、宮古のおすすめリストを送ってくださったりと心遣いが素晴らしいうえにイケメン！
松浦さんのおかげで今回の旅の一番の思い出づくりができました。
ありがとうございます！

The instructor explained everything thoroughly, which made me feel at ease during the experience. My wife had expressed some anxiety about swimming, but she said she had fun once it was over. We were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly in just half a day, so I highly recommend combining it with sightseeing.

インストラクターさんが丁寧に説明をしてくれたので、安心して体験をすることができました。妻が泳ぎが不安だと話をしていましたが、終われば楽しかったと言ってもらえました。
半日で十分に楽しめたので観光と合わせて行うのもとてもおすすめです。

I had an amazing time even though I can't swim! I got to see a lot of sea turtles up close and took many wonderful photos! Yamachan's guidance was incredibly fun and interesting. I would love to ask Yamachan for help again when I come to Miyako Island next time! Overall, I am very satisfied! Thank you!

泳げない私でもめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！ウミガメも沢山近くで見られて、素敵な写真も沢山撮ってもらって！やまちゃんの案内もすっごく楽しくて面白かったです(^ ^)
今度宮古島に来る時もまたやまちゃんにお願いしたいです！とにかく大満足！ありがとうございました！

A tour where you can swim with sea turtles that exceeds expectations! Yama-chan (the instructor) has a bright and knowledgeable character, which is fantastic. I definitely want to use this service again!

想像以上にウミガメと一緒に泳げるツアー！
やまちゃん（インストラクター）の明るく知識豊富なキャラクターも最高。ぜひまた利用したいです！

I participated with my 7-year-old daughter and another person.
I brought my own snorkeling gear, but they taught us everything from how to set it up, how to use it, to anti-fogging techniques.
Our guide, Hikaru, was incredibly kind. He was always attentive to my daughter, coming back to check on her when she got tired and quickly addressing any issues with water getting in (laughs). Thanks to his thorough care, we were able to have a fun time throughout!
We were also thrilled to finally see sea turtles and Nemo!
When we come back to Miyako, we would love to have your assistance again.
Additionally, the tacos and shaved ice from the shop you recommended were exquisite!
Thank you very much.

７歳の娘と三人で参加させていただきました。
シュノーケルの装備は持参していきましたが、セットの仕方、使い方、曇り止め。何から何まで教えていただいただきました。
担当してくださった光さんは、とにかく優しかったです。娘のことを常に気にかけてくださり、疲れれば迎えに戻ってきてくれるし、水が入ればすぐ対応してくれるし(笑)至れり尽くせりで、そのお陰で終始楽しい時間を過ごせたようです！
念願のウミガメやニモにも会えて大喜びでした！
また宮古に来たときはぜひアテンドお願いします。
また、教えていただいたお店のタコスやかき氷は絶品でした！
ありがとうございました。

We participated as a couple in our 60s. Among various tours we looked into, this one had a 99% encounter rate, and it was great that participants under 65 were welcome! The tour started with some exercises, and we received lectures on how to take care of ourselves and the important things to protect the nature of Miyako Island. The staff were attentive, casually checking in with us, and when a participant felt unwell, they responded kindly and flexibly to ensure the tour continued smoothly. I felt this was a tour where we could participate with peace of mind. The tour guide, Yamachan, knows all the best spots to see sea turtles. Thanks to Yamachan, we were able to see sea turtles and many fish in several locations! Truly a sea turtle expert! He also took many great photos while we were diving. Was he a professional photographer? It was a very satisfying tour where we experienced many things that would be difficult to do on our own. Thank you, Yamachan and all the staff!

60代の夫婦で参加。いろいろツアーを探した中で、こちらは99%の遭遇率、しかも65歳未満まで参加ok！です。（素敵！）ツアーは、体操から始まり、自分の命を守る為に気をつけること、宮古島の自然を守る為に大切なことをレクチャーしていただきました。スタッフの方は、さりげなく目配りしてまめに声をかけてくださったり、ツアー参加者に体調不良者が出た時には、優しくまたツアーに支障が出ないように臨機応変に対応されたりする姿に、安心して参加できるツアーだと思いました。ツアースタッフの山ちゃんは、海亀に会えるポイントを知り尽くしてます。山ちゃんのおかげで、数カ所で海亀やたくさんの魚に会えました！さすが海亀博士です！また海に潜って良いショットの写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。プロのカメラマン？だったのかな？？個人では難しいことをたくさん経験できる大満足なツアーでした。山ちゃん、スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。

Today, my family of four participated in the sea turtle tour starting at 11 o'clock. We were able to meet two sea turtles, which was a long-awaited experience, and their faces were so cute up close! The guide was considerate of everyone's well-being as we progressed, so we felt safe and enjoyed ourselves! They also researched the names of the rare fish we found, and the children were thrilled, making it a very satisfying tour. We will cherish the photos with the sea turtles. Thank you very much!

本日家族４人で11時からウミガメツアーでお世話になりました。念願のウミガメに2匹も会うことができ、間近でみたお顔がとても可愛かったです！ガイドさんが皆の体調を気遣いながら進行してくれたので、安心して楽しめました！見つけた珍しいお魚の名前も調べてくださり、子供たちも大喜びで大満足のツアーでした。ウミガメさんとのお写真大切にします。ありがとうございました！
