All Reviews for Okinawa Snorkeling

It was my first time kayaking and snorkeling, but the guide was very thorough in teaching us, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling experience. If I have the chance to go to Okinawa again, I would love to experience it once more!

初カヤック、シュノーケリングでしたがガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださり、とても充実した時間になりました。
また、沖縄に行く機会があれば体験したいです！

There was fog, but the sea was clear and not murky 🥰 The instructors were kind and taught us gently, so I felt at ease 👍 I will definitely ask for your services again when I go to Okinawa 🤲

霧がありましたが海は濁ってなくて綺麗でした🥰インストラクターの方達が親切で優しく教えてくれるので安心でした👍また沖縄に行く時はお願いします🤲

I had planned a trip to Okinawa with a friend, but they couldn't make it, so I ended up going alone. Honestly, at first, I thought, "Oh, I'm going alone..." but by the end, I had so much fun that I completely forgot about it!

It was great that I was the only Japanese speaker that day, allowing me to fully enjoy the atmosphere of an overseas resort. In fact, it was very relaxing to spend time without having to worry about anything (laughs).

The staff explained everything carefully, alternating between Japanese and English, which made it easy to understand and allowed me to participate with confidence. Moreover, the water was incredibly clear that day, and I even got to see sea turtles, which made me very satisfied.

This was my first time in Kerama, and I had wanted to go for a long time, so I'm really glad I didn't give up just because I was going alone.

Another highlight was receiving photos taken with a GoPro, which allowed me to capture memories. I plan to show them off to my friends when I get back!

沖縄旅行を一緒に予定していた友人が来られなくなり、急遽ひとりで参加しました。正直、最初は「ひとりか…」と思っていたのですが、終わる頃にはそんなことを忘れるくらい楽しめました！

たまたまこの日は日本語話者が自分だけで、海外リゾートらしい雰囲気を存分に味わえたのも良かったです。むしろ気を遣わずに過ごせて、とても気楽でした（笑）

スタッフの方は日本語と英語を交互に使いながら丁寧に説明してくださったので、内容も分かりやすく安心して参加できました。さらに、この日は海の透明度がとても高く、ウミガメにも出会うことができて大満足です。

初めての慶良間だったので以前から行ってみたいと思っていましたが、「ひとり参加だから」という理由で諦めなくて本当に良かったなと。

GoProで撮影した写真をもらえたのも嬉しいポイントで、思い出を写真に残すことができたので、帰ったら友人に自慢しようと思います。

Thank you very much for taking care of the four mature women the other day. The Blue Cave was absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Risa's amazing support, I was able to enjoy the underwater world with peace of mind. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to rely on VELTRA. Thank you so much! ♡

先日は熟女４人、大変お世話になりました。青の洞窟、めっちゃ素敵でした。
りさちゃんの神対応のお陰で、安心して海の世界を楽しむことができました。また機会がありましたら、VELTRAさんにお世話になりたいと思います♡ありがとうございました♡

It was my first time diving and snorkeling, but the guide was very polite and kind, which was great. The sea was very beautiful.

初めてのダイビング、シュノーケリングでしたが、ガイドの方がとても丁寧で親切で良かったです
海はとても綺麗でした

It was unfortunately rainy, but I enjoyed the beautiful sea.

There were a lot of participants, and it felt a bit hectic, but I had a great time.

Thank you for everything.

あいにくの雨でしたが、綺麗な海を堪能しました。

参加人数が多く、なんとなく、セカセカしてる感じがしましたが、楽しかったです。

いろいろとありがとうございました。

The weather was great, and the experience flew by in a fun way. The staff were skilled at getting everyone excited and were very kind, carefully teaching us how to use the equipment and the important points to note. During snorkeling, it was a valuable experience to swim with the fish while feeding them. In the marine sports, I was able to choose my speed and enjoy myself to the fullest. Additionally, since we put on wetsuits as soon as we got on the boat, I was grateful that I didn't have to worry about sunburn. Thank you very much! ☺︎

お天気にも恵まれ、楽しくてあっという間でした。スタッフさんは盛り上げ上手で親切で、器具の使い方や注意点を丁寧に教えてくださりました。シュノーケリングでは、餌やりをしながら魚と一緒に泳げて貴重な経験でした。マリンスポーツでは、スピードを選べて思いっきり楽しめました。また、船に乗ってすぐウエットスーツを着用するので、日焼けを気にせずに参加できたのはありがたかったです。ありがとうございました☺︎

The staff and equipment were great, and I was happy that I could easily put on the wetsuit. The transportation and the boat, as well as the consideration for participants, scored high points.

If I had to point out a weak point, it would be that since there were mostly inbound guests, it can't be helped, but the wetsuits and life jackets were too buoyant, making it feel like I wasn't swimming, and I thought some people might get seasick. The season was May, and it happened to be a bit cool, so the sea was slightly cold, but the visibility was excellent.

スタッフさんも機材も良くて、ウエットスーツがすらっと着れてよかったです。
送迎も船も、参加者への気遣いも高得点です。
あえてのウィークポイントは、インバウンド客ばかりだからいたしかたないんでしょうが、ウェットスーツ＆救命胴衣は、浮きすぎて泳いだ気がしないし海酔いする人もいるだろうなあ、と思った。
季節が5月でたまたま涼しかったので海は少し冷た目でしたが、透明度抜群でした。

While on a business trip, I wanted to do something Okinawan, so I signed up for a half-day snorkeling course. I was a bit anxious since I was participating alone and can't swim, but they carefully taught me how to use the life jacket and necessary equipment, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind as a beginner. Just getting into the water from the boat required a bit of courage, as it was quite deep.

The visibility was so clear that I could see all the way to the ocean floor just by putting my face in the water! The breathtaking scenery was truly moving. For the first 15 minutes, my mind was racing with thoughts like, "Wow, it's deep!" "I'm scared!" "It's so beautiful!" "Wait, how do I breathe again?!" "There are so many fish!" But with the instructor nearby, I felt reassured. Once I got used to it, I was able to let go of the float.

I learned that fish are attracted to the float, so I was able to see them up close. The instructor helped me spot three sea turtles by saying, "Here they are!" 🐢 It was so much fun, and the time flew by. I never expected to have such an emotional experience at over 40 years old.

If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you very much!

出張のついでに沖縄っぽいことがしたいと思い、シュノーケル半日コースを申込みました。一人で参加だったうえに泳げないので若干の不安はあったものの、ライフジャケットや必要な機材の使い方も丁寧に教えてくださったので初心者でも安心して楽しめました。※ボートから海に入るときだけちょっと勇気がいります。まぁまぁ深かったです。

水面からちょっと顔をつけるだけで海の底までハッキリ見えるほどの透明度！びっくりするほどの絶景で本当に感動しました。
※最初の15分は「深っ！」「怖っ！」「めっちゃキレイ！」「あれ？どーやって息するんやっけ？！」「めっちゃ魚おる！」と静かな海で脳内は大忙しでしたが、近くにインストラクターさんがいるので安心です。慣れると浮輪から手を離せるようになります。

魚も浮輪をみると寄ってくるそうで、間近で見ることができました。インストラクターさんが先にウミガメを探してここー！と教えてくれるのでウミガメも3匹拝めました🐢本当に楽しくてあっという間でした。40歳をすぎてこんなに感動できる体験があるとは思ってませんでした。

また機会があればぜひ参加させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time snorkeling, but the staff were kind and made me feel safe. There were many beautiful fish. I didn't get to see any sea turtles that day, but if I have the chance, I would like to participate again.

初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切で安心してできました。
魚もたくさんいて、とてもキレイでした。
この日は、ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、機会があれば、また参加したいです。

I made a reservation for two dives, but I felt that the communication regarding which of the three locations we would be diving at and how long we would stay at each spot was a bit lacking. However, most of the participants were foreigners, which added to the feeling of being out of place. The refreshing and handsome instructor took photos with the sea turtles, and I was truly very satisfied with the experience. I would love to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

2ダイブで予約をしましたが、
3地点の内のどこでダイビングをするかとか、
ここで何分くらい滞在するのかとか、
情報伝達が少し雑な気もしましたが、
参加者の殆どが外国の方でアウェイ感もある中、
爽やかイケメンインストラクターさんが、
海亀との写真を撮ってくれて、
本当に大満足でした。
また機会があったら利用したいです。

I enjoyed a day of experience diving with my two 13-year-old grandchildren. It was a sunny day just after the start of the rainy season, and we were lucky to dive with calm sea conditions. The instructor was very skilled, and my grandchildren had a great time on their first dive.

13才の孫2人と体験ダイビング1日を堪能しました。梅雨入り直後の晴れた1日で運良く潜れ、海況も穏やかな一日でした。
イントラさんもとても上手で、孫2人も初ダイブを楽しみました。

The staff were very kind and cheerful, and they taught us a lot about Okinawa, marine life, and the ocean. Thanks to them, I was able to increase my knowledge while enjoying experiences like kayaking and snorkeling, which was extremely fun! I would like to use their services again.

スタッフの方がとても優しく明るく沖縄のこと、海の生物、海について詳しく教えてくださいました。
そのおかげで知識を増やしながらカヤックやシュノーケルの体験をできたので非常に楽しかったです！
また利用したいです。

Due to the wind from the previous day, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but instead, I was satisfied to interact with the colorful and cute fish. The guide was friendly and kind, and they took a lot of photos and videos for us. I also made friends with the other participants, and in the end, we were able to take a commemorative photo with the guide, creating a truly precious memory. I'm grateful for that. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to challenge the Blue Cave.

前日の風の影響で青の洞窟には行けませんでしたが、そのかわりカラフルでかわいいお魚さんたちと一杯触れあうことができ満足でした。
ガイドさんも気さくで親切でいっぱい写真や動画を撮ってもらいました。参加した方とも仲良くなり、最後は、ガイドさんと皆で記念撮影もでき、大変貴重な思い出として残すことができました。感謝です。
また機会があれば、青の洞窟に挑戦したいと思います。

I participated in a half-day snorkeling trip. Unfortunately, it was rainy on the day of the trip, and the boat was quite rocky, but the clarity of the water was amazing, and I was very satisfied. The temperature was a bit low, so I only wore a wetsuit on top, which was just right. If I had to be picky, I would have liked to go a little shallower. The coral reef was incredibly beautiful, but it felt quite deep.

半日シュノーケリングに参加しました。当日はあいにくの雨模様で船もかなり揺れましたが海の透明度は素晴らしく満足しました。気温も少し低めだったので上だけウェットスーツを着ましたがちょうど良かったです。欲を言えばもう少し浅いところまで行ってもらうと良かったと思います。珊瑚礁はすごく綺麗だったですがかなり深く感じました。

Since it was a tour just for our group, I didn't have to worry about strangers and could enjoy it casually. It was a great deal to enjoy both SUP and snorkeling!

自分のグループだけでのツアーなので、知らない人に気を遣うことが無く、気軽に楽しめた。SUPとシュノーケリングの両方が楽しめてお得！

At 47 years old, it was my first snorkeling experience, but thanks to the kind support of the guide, I was able to enjoy it safely and securely. The underwater world was adorned with beautiful corals and fish, and I was truly impressed. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

47歳にして初のシュノーケリング体験でしたが、ガイドさんの親切なサポートのおかげで、安全安心に楽しむことができました。水中の世界は、美しい珊瑚と魚で彩られ、本当に感激しました。また機会が有れば参加したいと思います。

Snorkeling with whale sharks in Okinawa was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Tom. From the start, he explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared before getting in the water. Throughout the experience, he was attentive, patient, and genuinely focused on making sure everyone had a great time.

Seeing a whale shark up close was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and Tom made sure we didn’t miss a second of it. His calm guidance and knowledge added so much to the experience, turning something incredible into something seamless and stress-free. If you’re considering this, having a guide like Tom makes all the difference.

I was quite worried about the bad weather in the morning, but by the afternoon, it cleared up and in front of me was the blue sea 💙🏝️. The underwater world was surrounded by coral, and I saw sea turtles, Nemo, blue and pink fish, sea snakes, small sharks, and even an octopus 🐢✨🐠🦈🐙!! I was able to swim a lot and see so many things; it was an incredibly fun and amazing experience on the tour 🎵. I definitely want to participate again 😊.

朝お天気が悪くかなり心配でしたが、午後には晴れて目の前にはブルーの海💙🏝️
海の中は珊瑚に囲まれウミガメもニモもブルーとピンクの魚もウミヘビも小さなサメも、なんとタコも🐢✨🐠🦈🐙！！
たくさん泳げてたくさん見れてめちゃ楽しく最高の体験をさせて頂けるツアーでした🎵是非また参加したいです😊

The weather on the day was cloudy, but the sea in Kerama was very beautiful. I was able to encounter sea turtles and see beautiful fish and coral reefs.

当日の天気は曇りでしたが、慶良間の海はとても綺麗でした。ウミガメにも出会えて綺麗な魚や珊瑚礁を見ることができました。

Tom is a knowledgeable and interactive Scuba certified English speaking guide. This was my first time snorkeling; got to see a whale shark (jinbei) and made it back alive because Tom’s instructions were clear and helpful. Tom is also an avid sea life photographer; his photos are better than anything I could have taken.

I’d like to introduce you to a fantastic local tour from VELTRA that I participated in during my recent trip to Okinawa! 👍

Blue Cave Snorkeling - Small group with thorough support! Underwater photography & free gifts included <Boat / Free pickup from hotels in Naha>

Tour price: 7,700 yen (pickup takes about 90 minutes one way from Naha)

With hotel pickup included, we took a boat from the port to the Blue Cave, and there was one guide for every two of us.

Our guide was excellent, kindly and patiently teaching us everything from how to put on the wetsuits, how to attach the snorkels, to how to get into the water, especially since our athletic skills have significantly declined. I would love to request Mr. Mori again next time.

For your reference, I highly recommend VELTRA's tour as the price is reasonable and the content was really great! 👍

今回の沖縄旅行で、参加して最高に良かったVELTRAさんの現地ツアーをご紹介しますね👍

青の洞窟 シュノーケリング　少人数制でしっかりサポート！水中写真撮影＆無料プレゼント＜ボート／那覇市内ホテル無料送迎＞

ツアー代金　7,700円（送迎は、那覇から片道90分程度付き）

ホテルまでの送迎付きで、港から青の洞窟までボートに乗って行き、私たち2人に1人のガイドさんがつきました。

とても良いガイドさんで、ウェットスーツの着かたから、シューノーケルの付け方、海への降り方まで、運動神経のかなり落ちた私たちに親切丁寧に教えていただけました。次回も森さんご指名したいくらいです。

ご参考まで
ベルトラさんのツアーは、価格もリーズナブルで内容もとっても良かったのでおすすめします👍

First time snorkeling in Kerama! The staff were very cheerful, kind, and attentive, taking great care of us. Thanks to them, I made wonderful memories in Okinawa! Thank you 😊

慶良間初シュノーケル！
とても従業員の方が明るく優しく丁寧に色々とお世話になりました。
そのおかげで沖縄でのいい思い出が出来ました！ありがとうございます😊

I was anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but with the careful guidance I received, it turned out to be a lot of fun. They also provided transportation, which was very helpful since it was my first time in Okinawa. I am truly grateful.

　初めてのシュノーケルで不安だったのですが、丁寧にご指導頂きとても楽しいものになりました。送迎もして頂き初めての沖縄だったので、とても助かりました。感謝感激です。

Based on the conditions of the waves on the day, we were advised that the Blue Cave might be difficult since we had children with us, so we were suggested another beach. Since it was my son's first time at the sea, it was really great that they proposed a safe location without forcing us. We were able to see sea turtles nearby, and my son was thrilled to feed the fish, which left him in awe the entire time. On the way back, we were also given information about a nearby hot spring where we could relax, and the parents were very satisfied as well. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

当日の波の様子から子供もいるので青の洞窟は難しいかもと別の海岸を提案していただきました。息子が初めての海だったので強行せず安全な場所を提案してもらえたのがすごく良かったです。近くにウミガメも見れたし、魚の餌やりもやらせてもらい息子はずっと感動しっぱなしで大喜びでした。帰りも近くの温泉を教えて貰えて温泉にのんびり浸かれて親も大満足でした。いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございます。

This time I was able to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling. It was amazing! Thank you for being so kind and accommodating to the children!

今回シュノーケルで、ウミガメに会えました。最高です！
子どもにも優しく対応していただき、ありがとうございました！

They kindly accommodated my sudden request for an additional fun dive. Since it had been a while since my last dive, they even arranged for an instructor to ensure I could dive at a comfortable pace. I forgot to ask for their name, but I felt safe while diving. Thank you!

急なファンダイブ追加にも快く対応いただきました。久しぶりのダイビングだったので、ゆっくり潜れるようにわざわざインストラクターさんを付けて下さいました。お名前を伺うのを忘れてしまいましたが安心して潜れました。ありがとう。

I was able to see various kinds of fish, and I even got to meet a sea turtle, which made for the best memories! The guide was entertaining and explained everything clearly, and in the end, I jumped off from the second floor of the boat, haha! I thoroughly enjoyed the waters of Kerama!

様々な種類の魚が見れた他、
ウミガメにも会えて最高の思い出です！
ガイドさんも面白くわかりやすく説明してくださり、最後は船の二階から飛び込みww
慶良間の海を堪能できました！

The guide, Dora, was really great. The other staff members were also very cheerful and kind. There were repeat visitors, and I understood the meaning of that.

ガイドのドーアさんが本当に良かったです。他のスタッフの方々もとても明るく親切でした。リピーターの方もいらっしゃってその意味が理解できました。

I participated for the first time. I was so nervous that at first, it was really scary, but once I got used to it, I had so much fun that I want to participate again.

初めて参加させてもらいました
緊張しすぎて最初は怖くて仕方がなかったがなれてきたら楽しくて楽しくてまた参加したい
