Birthday snorkelling

Reviewed by: Sam V, 2019/12/04

We booked this trip from Australia for our sons 13th birthday with ease. Seasir contacted us a couple of days out to confirm pickup close to our accommodation as we weren't staying in one of the pickup hotels, this was easy and very close. Everyone in the company both on land and in the water was very good to deal with, helpful, knowledgeable and cheerful. My son said it was his best birthday ever. The water was so clear, lots of sea life and not crowded with loads of tourists.

Great day!

Reviewed by: Traveler, 2019/11/14

The snorkeling was great! Seen so much beautiful coral and fish. The tour guide tried his best speaking English but when he tried to explain how it works he just let us read the explanation because he couldn’t say it. Also you aren’t allowed to swim with out the swimming flippers. But I didn’t get it because they were very uncomfortable. But the tour was great. Towels and food provided and a beautiful boat ride as well. If you are going to this and you have never been on a boat. Please take a seasick pill because one participant didn’t know he didn’t do Well on boats and got seasick so he couldn’t snorkel at all. Would reccommend it. And great pick up and drop off.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Caridad, 2019/09/03

We had an amazing time doing snorkeling through Kerama Islands.

During the 3 immersions we did we saw different species as turtles and even sharks!

Our instructors/guides, specially Nolan were very kind and friendly.

Recommended 100%!

Avoid this tour

Reviewed by: No , 2019/07/23

A total waste of money. You aren’t allowed to swim without either wetsuit or life jacket. I got so overheated and sick that I had to sleep all afternoon when I got back. The tour guides act like they don’t even want to be there. They should make exceptions for people who are good swimmers. What was the point of having us sign liability waivers if they make us suffer in wetsuits?

Highlight of my trip to Okinawa!

Reviewed by: carlydavies, 2019/06/05

Such an incredible day! From the very beginning everything ran smoothly thanks to the beautiful staff who tried their best to speak English and accommodate to everyones needs, including a bus pickup service from my front door step in the morning and return at the end of the day!
On arrival we were able to store valuables, given a great quality wetsuit to wear for the day and welcomed onto the boat for the day where complimentary drinks and lunch were provided (vegetarian friendly!) as well as shower, changeroom and toilet facilities and a great safety briefing and run down of the day from staff in various languages.
The stops were incredible and thanks to the staff we were able to download images of each destination for free which will definitley be held onto for years! The water was warm and as stunning kerama blue as you expect and we were lucky enough to see so many fish and a few turtles whilst exploring!
Overall a really great and unforgettable day which ultimately came down to a really well working team of guides!
Tip for anyone going on this, regardless of if you have a history of travel sickness, bring some medication with you and some sun protection!

Wonderful snorkeling

Reviewed by: LekLaura, 2019/05/17

The activities are exactly as said in the program. The pick-up and drop-off service is very on a timely manner. Staffs are very friendly and helpful although communication in English is limited but it's not a burden for a joyful snorkeling experience. All gears are in good condition and there's no need to bring any personal item as all are well prepared for you. The Captain is very knowledgeable on the weather conditions and snorkeling spot as we're there on the rainy day but he managed to move us around without facing any rain or storm. I'd recommend everyone to experience this tour, the price they charge is very reasonable. I'll definitely join this tour again if I'm back to Naha.

First time snorkeling experience

Overall experience was good. The staffs were friendly, helpful and experience.
Would suggest to provide some fruits as I do not have the appetite to eat the bento lunch provided.

Fantastic day out!

Reviewed by: Meera , 2018/12/26

An absolutely fantastic day out! We asked to be picked up from our hotel, to which someone came to our hotel the day before (whilst we were out) to leave us a paper message confirming our time of departure and where to meet (which was also confirmed by email too!).

On the morning of the trip, they were on time, and the staff were very friendly. We were given snorkeling gear, towels when we were done, and a delicious lunch!

I became quite sea sick partly through the, and not only were the instructors prepared, but they checked up on me, and one instructor even helped encourage me back into the water.

We went snorkeling in the winter, and the water was a very comfortable temperature (which was great for me, as I'm always cold!). The views of the islands and underwater were breath taking! We saw a small shark, a sea snake, and lots of colourful tropical fish. Our snorkeling instructor also took pictures of our swim, which were available to download the next morning.

One word of caution however: it's worth making sure children will be used to the snorkeling mask before booking. We had a child on our boat who became quite enraged at the mask preventing any breathing through his nose, and subsequently did not participate. It's a fantastic day out, but worth going with children who are used breathing steadily with the mask on.

And thank you for the reminder, it is a good idea that to try swimming in confined water before participate in an open water snorkeling tour.
