All Reviews for Snorkeling

The instructors were very kind and taught us well, which was great. Even though it wasn't a very good day weather-wise, our guide was able to find sea turtles and clownfish for us.

The photos they took were amazing and captured a wonderful atmosphere that was different from my own perspective.

初心者でもとても親切に教えてくれますので、とても良かったです。
コンディションがあまり良くない日だったのですが、ガイドさんがウミガメ、クマノミを見つけてくれました～。

撮っていただいた写真は、自分目線とは違いとても素晴らしい雰囲気のものを撮って頂けました

The guide's service on-site was excellent, and I had a great time! This is definitely a tour you should join when you visit Miyako Island!

現地でのガイドさんの対応がとても素晴らしくて、とっても楽しめました！宮古島に来た際は是非参加して欲しいツアーです！

I arrived at the location without having made many reservations for tours in advance, but I thought, "Since I'm here, I want to try some marine activities!" and decided to book this tour.

During the snorkeling, I naturally interacted with other participants and was able to leisurely enjoy the sea filled with corals and colorful fish. It was my second time snorkeling in my life and my first time in Japan, but thanks to Ryoma's precise explanations and the "photo time," I was able to relax and fully enjoy the experience. And to my surprise, we encountered a sea turtle! The moment when everyone gathered and swam together at the shout of "Turtle!!" from a participant is something I will never forget.

After enjoying the underwater experience, we moved on to stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. We started with learning how to paddle, but Ryoma kept the atmosphere lively with humor, and before I knew it, I was able to try standing up and even challenging poses! Spending time on the board while feeling the waves and wind was incredibly relaxing and wonderful.

The experience was so fulfilling that it felt like much more than just a morning activity, and I was able to spend a very meaningful time without any rush.

Even though it was a last-minute reservation, I was able to not just "see" the sea of Miyako Island, but to "feel it with my body," and it truly became the best memory!

ツアーの事前予約もほとんどしていない状態で現地に降り立ちましたが、
「せっかくならマリンアクティビティをしたい！」と思い立って、このツアーを予約しました。

シュノーケリングでは、他の参加者さんとも自然に交流が生まれ、
サンゴやカラフルな魚たちが泳ぐ海をのんびり楽しむことができました。
人生2度目、日本では初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、
Ryomaさんの的確な解説と“写真タイム”のおかげで安心して満喫できました。
そしてなんと、ウミガメにも遭遇！
参加者さんの「Turtle!!」の声でみんなが一斉に集まって泳いだあの瞬間は、一生忘れられません。

海の中を楽しんだあとは、初めてのSUP。
最初は漕ぎ方を教わるところから始まりましたが、
りょーまっするさんが笑いを交えながら盛り上げてくださり、
気づけば立ち漕ぎやチャレンジングなポーズにも挑戦できるように！
波や風を感じながらボードの上で過ごす時間は、とてもリラックスできて最高でした。

午前中だけの体験とは思えないほど内容が充実していて、
慌ただしさもなく、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。

急な予約でしたが、宮古島の海を“見るだけ”ではなく、
“体で感じる”ことができ、本当に最高の思い出になりました！

It was my 7-year-old and 5-year-old children's first time snorkeling. They aren't very good swimmers, but with the help of our guide, Takumi, we were able to finish snorkeling safely! It was a fun experience. Thank you 😊

7歳と5歳の子供の初めてのシュノーケリングでした。泳ぎはあまり得意ではありませんが、ガイドのタクミ君に助けてもらいながら、無事にシュノーケリングを終えることができました！楽しい経験になりました。
ありがとうございます😊

The location was changed due to strong winds, but I was healed by meeting two turtles and Nemo! The guide was also kind, and although it was my first time snorkeling, I was very satisfied. Thank you for a wonderful time!

強風で場所が変更になりましたが、2匹のカメさんとニモに会えて癒されました！ガイドさんも優しくて、初のシュノーケルでしたが大満足でした。素晴らしいひと時をありがとうございました♪

It was my first time swimming in the ocean, but I felt reassured because I received thorough instructions before entering the water! I held onto a float while getting used to the water, which made me feel safe!

I also got to meet a sea turtle and took some amazing photos, making it a fantastic experience! The water temperature wasn't too cold even without a wetsuit!

Thank you very much! I will come again!

海で泳ぐことが初めてでしたが海に入る前も丁寧に教えていただけたので心配が軽減しました！
海でも慣れるまでは浮きを掴みながら泳いだので安心でした！

ウミガメさんにも会えて、最高な写真を撮っていただいてすごくいい体験になりました！
ウェットスーツなくてもそこまで寒くない水温でした！

ありがとうございました！また来ます！

We participated because it was relatively short and seemed just right for beginners like us. The fact that the store had showers was also a plus. They thoroughly taught us how to use the equipment, and we were able to choose the right prescription snorkel mask. Our family members who actually used it said they could see incredibly well.

As we entered the water and progressed with the fins, I gradually fell behind, and I was grateful that they immediately asked if I wanted to hold onto the board for a pull. They were very attentive.

We were lucky to encounter a sea turtle relatively early on. We took turns having our pictures taken and were able to capture several great shots.

比較的時間が短く、初心者の我々にはちょうど良いかと思って参加しました。
店舗にシャワーがあるのもポイントでした。
店舗で器具の使用法をしっかり教えてくれて、度付きのシュノーケルマスクも
ちょうどよいのを選べて、実際に使った家族からは、ものすごくよく見えたとのこと。

海に入ってフィンで進むうちに段々遅れてしまい、その後ボードにつかまって
引っ張るかすぐに聞いてくれたのはありがたかったです。よく見てくれてます。

割と早い時間にウミガメと遭遇できてラッキーでした。
代わる代わる写真を撮ってもらい、良いショットがいくつも残せました。

The staff was kind and attentive, making it easy for beginners to enjoy. I was able to see many sea turtles and took a lot of photos, which made me very satisfied. Thank you!

親切丁寧に教えていただき、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。
ウミガメにもたくさん会えて、写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足です。
ありがとうございました！

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！！

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。

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🎶

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♡

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。

It seems that it is difficult to encounter suitable weather at Sapphire Cave, so we quickly changed to snorkeling to meet the sea turtle, Nimo. Our guide, Kazuki, was very efficient in leading us, and beyond just enjoying the experience, I felt a sense of professionalism from his work perspective. I was surprised to learn how young he is. It was an opportunity to realize that trust is paramount when it comes to the sea. Thank you, Kazuki, for your smiling face!

サファイアケーブは適する天候に出会うのが難しいようで海亀ニモに出会うシュノーケリングに急きょ変更に頂きました
ガイドのカズキ君がテキパキと誘導してくれて体験も楽しかった以上に仕事目線で見てしまってプロフェッショナルを感じました。とっても若いので歳を聞いてびっくり
海は信頼が第一と思う機会でした。
笑顔のカズ君ありがとう

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。

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。

Due to the impact of the typhoon, I couldn't go snorkeling... However, I had a great time experiencing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time! I wasn't very good at it, but Rintaro (the staff member) helped me out and taught me a lot!

台風の影響で、シュノーケリングができず、、、
ですが初めて体験したSupがとても楽しかったです！あまりうまく出来ませんでしたがりんたろうさん（スタッフ）の方が教えてくれたりとで助かりました！

Thank you for your support.

Although it was a short time, a kind, polite, and very friendly young man provided support with safety as the top priority, allowing us to have a wonderful time. He was also knowledgeable about sea turtles and the ocean, teaching us many great things about Miyako Island. A beautiful rainbow 🌈 appeared in the sky, and I can only express my gratitude for the amazing memories created.

お世話になりました。

短い時間でしたが、親切で丁寧でとても気さくな好青年が安全第一でサポートしてくれて素敵な時間を過ごす事ができました。
ウミガメや海の知識も豊富で宮古島の良いところをたくさん教えてもらいました。
空には綺麗な虹🌈も出ており、最高の思い出を作ってもらえて、感謝しかありません。

It was my first time snorkeling and I wasn't good at swimming, but Yamachan taught me carefully, so I was able to enjoy it from start to finish! I was able to see sea turtles, and they took me to spots with various fish like Nemo, which was a lot of fun. Thank you, Yamachan and Soichiro!

シュノーケリングも初めてで泳ぐのも苦手でしたが山ちゃんが丁寧に教えてくれたので最初から最後まで楽しむことができました‼️海亀にも無事会えたし、ニモとかいろんなお魚がいるスポットとかにも連れてってくれてとても楽しめました✨
山ちゃんとそういちろうありがとうございました🔥🔥

I wanted to go on a tour of the Yaeyama Islands, but everywhere was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour at Shinjo Beach, and it was ten times better than I imagined! The clear sea was filled with large sea turtles, and the bright personality of our guide, Yamachan, along with his underwater filming techniques, made for a truly satisfying experience.

Since I had a flight to Naha at 1 PM, I opted for the early tour at 7 AM, which turned out to be a great decision. By 7 AM, the free parking lot at Shinjo Beach was already full, and those who arrived later had to park in the paid lot for 2,000 yen. The waters around Miyako Island are very clear, but it seems that the clarity diminishes as time passes throughout the morning.

While in the water, we always wore life jackets, but at Shinjo Beach, the water is shallow enough to stand, so I think it's fine for those who are not comfortable in the sea. Watching the sea turtles eat seagrass was truly adorable, and I could have watched them forever. Participants floated around watching the turtles while Yamachan filmed us from various angles with a GoPro. We received the videos via AirDrop right after the tour. He also shared his LINE so we could ask him anything about Miyako Island!

While I plan to visit the Yaeyama Islands another time, I’m really glad I participated in this tour at Shinjo Beach. Thank you, Yamachan!

行きたかった八重干瀬のツアーがどこも満席で取れず、この新城海岸のツアーを申し込んだのですが、想像の10倍良かったです！透き通った海に大きな海亀がたくさんいて、ガイドのやまちゃんの明るいキャラクターと水中撮影のテクニックが相待って、大満足でした。

午後1時台の那覇行きのフライトを控えていたので、朝7時の早い回にしたのですが、それが大正解でした。朝7時には新城海岸の無料駐車場が満車になり、その後に来た人たちは2,000円の有料駐車場に停めなくてはいけない状態でした。また宮古島の海は透明度が高いですが、それでも朝から時間の経過と共に透明度がくすんでくるようです。

海にいる時は常時ライフジャケットを着ていますが、新城海岸は遠浅で足が付くくらいの水位ですので、海が苦手な人にも問題ないかと思います。海亀が水草を食べる様子は本当に可愛く、ずっと見ていられます。参加者はプカプカと浮きながら亀を見ていれば、やまちゃんが色んな角度からGoProで動画を撮ってくれます。動画はツアー終了後にAirDropで直ぐにもらうことが出来ました。あとは宮古島のことは何でも聞いてください！とやまちゃんのLINEを教えてもらいました。

八重干瀬はまたの機会に行くとして、新城海岸のこのツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。やまちゃん、ありがとうございました！

Hikaru, our guide, was very kind. We were able to see sea turtles right away, and we took a lot of great photos, creating wonderful memories. Thank you, Hikaru, for recommending great places to eat!

ガイドのひかるさんがとても親切でした。
ウミガメにもすぐに会えたし、写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、素敵な思い出になりました。
ひかるさん、おすすめのお店も教えていただき、ありがとうございました。

We had a very relaxing snorkeling experience with just four adults! It was almost my first time snorkeling, but I was able to meet a turtle and create the best memories!

I'm grateful to the brother who dove with us! He was a wonderful person!

大人4人という少人数でのシュノーケリングでとてもゆったりと体験することが出来ました!!
初めてに近いシュノーケリングでしたが、、無事に亀にも会えて最高の思い出が出来ました！

一緒に潜ってくれたお兄さんに感謝です!!素敵な人でした！

Thank you, Ai-chan!! 🙌 My partner had a hard time swimming, but she was really happy with how careful and safe you were!! ✌️ She said you were kind. Your fan base is going to grow! Haha. I'm cheering for your continued success! 😊🎉 The sea in Miyako Island was truly beautiful!! ✌️✌️✌️

あいちゃんありがとう!!🙌
相方♀は泳ぎが苦手だったけど、丁寧＆安全にしていただき本当に喜んでいました!!✌️
あいちゃんは優しいと言っていたよ
ファン増えますねぇ～　笑
ますますのご活躍応援しております😊🎉
宮古島の海は本当に綺麗でした!!✌️✌️✌️

Due to bad weather, we couldn't do snorkeling and SUP at the planned location, but they suggested an alternative spot. As a result, we unexpectedly got to see sea turtles, which made us very happy. The SUP instructor was a really funny guy, so we were never bored. It was a lot of fun.

悪天候で予定のポイントでのシュノーケルとSUPが出来ませんでしたが、別ポイントでの開催を提案して頂きました。結果、予定外にウミガメにも会うこともできとても満足です。SUPのインストラクターのお兄さんがとても面白い方だったので全く退屈しませんでした。とても楽しかったです。

I had planned a trip to visit the Blue Cave, but unfortunately, the tour was canceled the day before, and I was considering canceling my plans. However, since I was already there, I decided to participate in the changed sea turtle snorkeling tour! Thanks to our guide, Soma, I had an unexpectedly fun snorkeling experience. Moreover, I got to encounter sea turtles and swam around excitedly! I also had many wonderful photos taken, making it a fantastic memory!

青の洞窟に行きたくて計画した旅行でしたが残念ながら前日にツアー中止になってしまいキャンセルしようかと思ってました。
でもせっかくなので変更になったウミガメシュノーケリングに参加してみました！
ガイドの『そーまっするさん』のおかげで期待以上に楽しいシュノーケリングを体験👍
しかもウミガメにも遭遇できて夢中で泳ぎまくりました！
素敵な写真もたくさん撮っていただけて最高な思い出になりました😆

I participated in a SUP and snorkeling session that ended in the morning at the beginning of September, when the weather can be quite changeable. The weather was nice, and during low tide, the sea sparkled, making the coral visible up close. I struggled to keep up with the SUP until I got the hang of it, but since it was early in the morning, there were few people around, and I was able to jump into the sea and enjoy a refreshing time.

I had a hard time finding a turtle while snorkeling and thought I might not see one, but I kept swimming. Thanks to the instructor who didn’t give up searching, I was finally able to meet a turtle leisurely eating at the end.

Since I had arranged for transportation, getting around was easy, and I got to hear interesting stories about island life and was recommended some delicious places to eat. I had some anxiety about being back in the sea after a long time, but from start to finish, Ricky's smile encouraged me, and my family was able to have a great time!

天候が変わりやすい9月頭に午前中で終わるSUPとシュノーケリングに参加しました。天気もよく、干潮で海がキラキラと珊瑚が近い距離に見えました。SUPは慣れるまでついてくのに必死だったけど、朝イチだったので人も少なく、海に飛び込んだり気持ちのいい時間を過ごせました。シュノーケリングはなかなか亀さんが見つからず、見れないかなーと思ってましたが、ひたすら泳ぐ泳ぐ。お姉さんが諦めずに探してくれたおかげで最後にのんびり食事中の亀さんに会うことができました。
今回は送迎をお願いしてたので移動も楽に、車内では島の暮らしや、いろんな面白い話を聞かせてもらったり、美味しいお店も教えてもらえました。久しぶりの海に不安があったけど、最初から最後まで担当のリッキーの笑顔に励まされ家族で楽しむことができました！

The guide was very kind and gentle with the children, and we were able to see sea turtles.

The public parking lot is full by 8:30 AM, so it's better to arrive early.

ガイドさんがとても親切で子供に優しくて、海亀にも会えました。

公共駐車場が0830には満席なので、早いほうがいいです。

Our family of six were beginners, but thanks to the careful guidance from staff member Hikaru, we were able to see various marine life such as sea turtles, Nemo, and pufferfish. They took into consideration the children and made sure to choose the best times and locations for us, so we felt safe and comfortable.

10-year-old girl: I never thought I would see multiple sea turtles!
7-year-old boy: I was nervous at first because I couldn't even put my face in the water, but Hikaru stayed with me and taught me, so I was able to see the sea turtles and had a lot of fun.

家族6名初心者でしたがスタッフ光さんの丁寧なレクチャーのおかげでウミガメやニモやフグなどいろいろ見ることが出来ました。
子供にも配慮しつつ、なるべくベストな条件
になるように時間や場所(ポイント)を決めていただいたので安心して過ごせました。
10歳女の子:まさかウミガメが複数見れるとは思わなかったです。
7歳男の子:水に顔をつけることも出来なかったので最初は不安だったけど光さんがずっと付いて教えてくれたからウミガメを見れて楽しかった。

I mistakenly registered the wrong schedule this time, but they were flexible in changing it to a time when I could meet the sea turtles. As a result, I was able to see the sea turtles up close and had the best experience swimming with them. Nemo was also very cute!

The guide, Hikaru, who assisted us this time, was always polite and treated the children kindly, which was very nice. Unlike many guides who prioritize their own pace with a youthful vibe, Hikaru prioritized the participants' pace and interacted gently from the children's perspective, which left a strong impression on me! I highly recommend Hikaru's guidance for families participating in this activity.

Thank you for adding warmth to our precious memories.

今回、間違えてスケジュールを登録してしまったのですが、ウミガメに会える時間帯への柔軟なスケジュール変更も対応してくれました。
結果としてウミガメを間近に見ることができ、一緒に泳ぐ最高の体験ができました。
ニモもとっても可愛かったです！

今回案内してくださったガイドのヒカルさんが、終始丁寧な対応をしてくださり、子供達にも優しく接してくれてとても良かったです。
若者ノリの自身のペースを優先するガイドさんが多い中、参加者のペースを優先してくださり、子供目線で優しく接してくれるこちらのガイドのヒカルさんは、とても印象に残りました！！
家族で参加される方はヒカルさんのガイド、とてもおすすめです！

大切な思い出に温かみをプラスしていただき、ありがとうございました。
