All Reviews for Okinawa Snorkeling

I experienced snorkeling and sea kayaking this time. In conclusion, I had a very meaningful time and a wonderful experience by participating. The staff who guided us were attentive to our safety, asking if we were tired or okay, while providing various lectures since it was our first time. They also took photos as an optional service, ensuring that participants had a great time.

I think that participatory experiences can sometimes feel like a conveyor belt, but the guide this time was different. They included surprises, such as points of interest that were truly moving, making it enjoyable. It was a wonderful experience that made me want to come back.

The flow of the tour started with changing clothes, followed by a kayaking lecture. We then got into the kayak and paddled to the cave. After a short break near the cave, we finally entered it. Although I learned how to swim during the breaks and the actual experience, I surprisingly got used to it. The time spent swimming inside the cave was just under an hour.

Since it was during a holiday, it was a bit crowded, but it wasn't overwhelming, and we could move around each other. The three-hour duration felt short, but after kayaking back and snorkeling, I felt a bit tired, perhaps from the sense of relief at the end. So, I think it was just the right amount of time.

今回シュノーケリングとシーカヤックを体験しました。
結論から、参加できてとても有意義な時間と素敵な体験を経験することができました。
ガイドしていただいたスタッフの方は、初めて参加する私たちに色んなレクチャーをしながら、疲れてませんか？大丈夫ですか？と安全にもとても気を配ってくださり、合間にオプションで依頼した写真を撮ってくれて、参加者をしっかりと楽しませてくれていました。
こうした参加型の体験は流れ作業になってしまうところもあると思いますが、今回ガイドしてれた方はそうしたことがなく、感動する場所のポイントなどサプライズを入れて楽しむことができました。
それは、また来たいと思える素晴らしいものでした。

ツアーの流れは、着替えてからカヤックのレクチャーを受け、カヤックに乗って、洞窟まで漕いでいきます。洞窟近くで少し休みいよいよ洞窟内へ。泳ぎ方も休みの間＋本番で覚えながらでしたが、不思議と慣れてきます。
洞窟内で泳ぐ時間は1時間弱くらい。
連休中ということもあり、少し混んではいましたが芋洗い状態ではなく、お互い行き来はできる状態ではありました。
3時間という時間は短く感じますが、実際往復カヤックとシュノーケリングをすると、終わった時に安心感からか少し疲れます。
なのでちょうどいい時間だと思います。

It was fun to be surrounded by many fish before reaching the Blue Cave. Inside the cave, I was moved by the indescribably beautiful blue color. There was a 6-year-old child with us, but the guide provided great support, making it possible for us to enjoy the experience, which was wonderful.

青の洞窟にたどり着くまでも、たくさんの魚に囲まれてたのしかったです。そして、洞窟ではなんとも言えないきれい青をみることができて、感動しました。
6才の子供もいましたが、ガイドさんが、しっかり
フォローしてくださり頑張ることができて、とても良かったです。

I was surprised to see that the amount of coral has decreased compared to the past!
It's clear that environmental destruction is progressing.
My wife was excited to swim with the turtles.
The staff was also polite and helpful.

昔に比べてサンゴの量が減りビックリ！
自然破壊が進んでいるんですね。
妻は亀との泳ぎが出来て興奮していました。
スタッフも丁寧で良かったです。

I participated during Golden Week.
The weather was cloudy, but I was able to enjoy the blue sea of Kerama. It was a great experience to see turtles while snorkeling.
I brought my GoPro, but the instructor also took a lot of photos.
I had an advanced license, but I had plenty of fun.

ゴールデンウイークに参加しました。
天気は曇りでしたが、慶良間の青い海が堪能できました。スノーケルではカメも見れて良い経験になりました。
ゴープロを持参しましたが、インストラクターの方もたくさん写真を撮ってくれました。
アドバンスのライセンスを持っていましたが、十分楽しめました。

The sea was still cold and the weather wasn't great, but the ocean was very beautiful. The children were very happy. However, it was disappointing that we couldn't see any sea turtles. I hope to come back and try again when it's a bit warmer.

まだ海が冷たくて天気もよくなかったのですが、海とてもキレイでした。
子どももとても喜んでました。
でもウミガメが見れず残念でした。
次回もう少し暑くなってからリベンジしたいと思います。

I participated during Golden Week. Despite the strong winds and cloudy skies, the event went ahead, and I experienced sea kayaking and snorkeling in the Blue Cave. Since we went to the Blue Cave first thing in the morning, we were lucky to find it less crowded even during Golden Week! I also dive, but the snorkeling was incredibly beautiful and amazing! My partner, who was snorkeling for the first time, said they want to go again. The guide was kind and made it safe and comfortable for beginners, while still allowing us to enjoy the beautiful waters of Okinawa. Wearing a wetsuit kept us warm, and there was no worry about sinking, haha.

I brought my GoPro, but you can also sign up for a photo package. They took a lot of pictures, and you get all the data, so I highly recommend it.

ＧＷに参加しました。やや強風と曇り空でしたが決行します、との事でシーカヤックと青の洞窟シュノーケルを体験。青の洞窟は朝イチで行ったため、ＧＷにも関わらず人が少なくラッキーでした!!当方ダイビングもしますが、シュノーケルでもとってもキレイで最高!! シュノーケル初体験の相方もまた行きたいという程で、ガイドさんも優しく初心者にも安心安全、でも沖縄の海をとっても楽しめるプランです。ウエットスーツ着用のため寒くないし、沈む心配もありません笑
GoPro持参しましたが、写真撮影プランも申し込めます。たくさん写真撮ってくれて、データも全て貰えるのでお勧めです。

I was able to fully enjoy snorkeling while seeing sea turtles, Nemo, and many fish. I felt a bit anxious at first because I'm not a strong swimmer and we were going quite far, but the instructor stayed with us the whole time and pulled me along with a floating stick, so I was able to participate safely without drowning. There were also children participating. The curry for lunch was a bit spicy but delicious! I was very happy that the instructor sent me photos of the snorkeling via LINE, which will remain a wonderful memory. I will attach my favorite photo that the instructor sent.

ウミガメやニモ、多数の魚を見ながら、シュノーケルを存分に楽しむことができました。
泳ぎが苦手で、かなり遠くまで行くので大丈夫か一瞬不安を感じましたが、インストラクターの方がずっと一緒にいて、浮く棒で引っ張って下さったので、溺れることなく安全に参加する事ができました。子供達も参加されていました。
お昼のカレーも少し辛めで美味しかったです！
シュノーケルの写真を撮ってLINEで送って下さったのも思い出に残るので、大変嬉しかったです。
インストラクターの方が送って下さった写真のうちお気に入りを添付させて頂きます。

Each group is assigned one instructor. We had Erika as our instructor! She was very considerate of her, as she was not very experienced at swimming, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a careful and fun manner. The Blue Cave was also incredibly beautiful, making it a great experience! Next time, I would like to try diving!

1組につき1人、インストラクターの方がついてくださいます。
私たちはエリカさんにご担当いただきました！
泳ぎが不慣れな彼女にも気を使っていただきながら、丁寧かつ楽しく、シュノーケルを楽しめました。
青の洞窟もとっっっても綺麗で良い体験になりました！
次回はダイビングに挑戦したいと思います！

I was able to see the sea turtles that I had dreamed of. The sea was beautiful, and all the staff were great. The sea was beautiful, and I saw many fish.

夢だった海亀も見れました。海も綺麗で、スタッフの方々も皆良かったです。海も綺麗で沢山の魚が見れました。

The weather was bad and the waves were rough, so I thought it would be best to definitely take motion sickness medication since the high-speed boat rocked quite a bit. I held onto the vomit bag and endured for almost an hour. However, even as a first-timer, I was moved by the beautiful scenery of the coral. The clarity of the ocean is extraordinary, offering a world that can only be experienced by those who come here.

天候が悪く波が荒かったので、かなり高速船揺れたので酔い止めは必ず飲んだ方が良いかと思いました。結構エチケット袋握って１時間弱耐えてましたので。皆様。しかし、初めてでも珊瑚の素敵な景色をみられ感動しました。海の透明度が半端ない来た人にしか味わえない世界観。

I had booked a similar tour with another company, but it was canceled due to poor sea conditions, so I made a last-minute reservation here. You get free fish food, so you can see fish the entire time while snorkeling. I added the sea turtle exploration tour as an option, and I was able to see them, which made me very satisfied! The staff were friendly and lent us things like anti-fog spray frequently.

*Note: The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must.
*The shower is in a place where everyone can see, so you can't wash properly. After the tour, we went to a nearby hot spring.

他社で似たようなツアーを予約していたところ、海況不良で欠航になってしまい、ダメ元で急遽予約しました。
魚の餌が無料で貰えるので、シュノーケル中ずっと魚が観れます。
ウミガメ探索ツアーをオプションで付け、無事に観ることができて大満足です！
スタッフさんも気さくで、くもり止めなどもこまめに貸していただけます。

※船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは必須です。
※シャワーは全員から丸見えの場所にあるのでしっかり洗うことはできません。私達はツアー解散後、近くの温泉に行きました。

The guide conducted a fun tour at a good pace. They took many photos, and I was able to spend a pleasant time. It seems we were blessed with good weather and conditions; the guide was private, the sea was clear, and I was surrounded by many fish. I also enjoyed the Blue Cave and encountered scenery that I will never forget. I am truly grateful for the nature of the Ryukyu Islands and the guide. I would love to visit again.

ガイドさん、テンポ良く楽しいツアーを進めていただきました。写真もたくさん撮っていただき、心地良い時間を過ごせました。
天気やコンディションにも恵まれたようで、ガイドさんは貸切、海の透明度もあり、たくさんの魚たちに囲まれて、青の洞窟も満喫でき、一生忘れる事がない風景に出会えました。
琉球の自然たちとガイドさん、本当に感謝感謝です。また訪れたいと思います。

I participated in the Blue Cave tour. My son has snorkeled a few times before, but he said he didn't like the salty sea water. He was anxious about whether he could dive properly this time, but the instructor was very kind, and in the end, he was able to dive on his own! We were both very satisfied with being able to feed the fish as well!

Although the seawater was still cold, I was very grateful that they prepared warm water for us when we got back on the boat. I would love to be guided to the beautiful sea again the next time I come to Okinawa!

青の洞窟ツアーに参加しました。
息子はこれまでも何度かシュノーケルはしたことがありますが、海の水がしょっぱいと言って苦手でした。今回もちゃんと潜れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がとても優しく接してくださり、最後には自分だけで潜ることができました♩
魚へのエサやりもできて、親子共に大満足でした！

また海水がまだ冷たい時期でしたが、船に上がったときに温水を準備してくださっていたことがとてもありがたかったです。
次回沖縄に来るときも綺麗な海を案内していただきたいです♩

The guide was kind and very polite. I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. Thanks to that, I have wonderful memories, and I am grateful. Thank you very much.

ガイドさんが親切でとても丁寧な方でした。
安心してツアーに参加できました。
お陰様でとても楽しい思い出ができて感謝しています。ありがとうございました

On March 30, I experienced snorkeling. Although the Blue Cave was closed due to strong winds, we snorkeled at a beach about a 5-minute walk from the parking lot at Manza Beach. My two older daughters were initially scared of the cold water, but our instructor, Mr. Kaneshiro, cheerfully encouraged them, saying, "Don't worry! I'm the coldest one here!" and they were able to dive safely. At first, the water was cold, but as we swam among the many fish, I stopped noticing it. Underwater, he explained about the fish, tried to catch an octopus, and showed us where to find clownfish. Due to the season, there were few people, allowing us to take our time enjoying the beautiful sea. He also took many photos and handed them to us on the spot, which made me very happy to see them right away. (One thing to note, it was mentioned that towels were free, but since we brought our own, I'm not sure if they were available for borrowing.)

3月30日にシュノーケルを体験しました。
風が強く青の洞窟はクローズしていましたが、眞栄田岬の駐車場から歩いて5分程のビーチでシュノーケルしました。
海の冷たさに怯えていた上の娘2人でしたが、インストラクターの金城さんが明るく『大丈夫！僕が1番寒がりだから！』と励まされ、無事に潜ることができました。
正面、最初は海が冷たかったですが、たくさんお魚がいる中を泳いでいたら気にならなくなりました。
海の中では、お魚について説明してくれたり、タコを捕まえようとしてくれたり、クマノミの場所も教えてくれました。時期のせいで人も少なく、キレイな海の中をゆっくり見ることができました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、その場で渡してくれたので、すぐに見ることができ嬉しかったです。
(一点だけ、タオルは無料とありましてが、持っていったので借りることは無く、借りられたかも不明です。)

It exceeded my expectations!
Both adults and children were very satisfied.
The sea kayaking adventure followed by snorkeling in the Blue Cave is a must-do.

Akki, who was in charge, was amazing.
The kids kept saying "Akki, Akki" even after it was over.

Highly recommended!!
If you're going to the Blue Cave, this is the place.
The snorkeling after sea kayaking is a must!

想像を上回ってくれた！
大人も子供も大満足
シーカヤックで冒険、そこからの青の洞窟シュノーケルは絶対やるべき

担当してくれたアッキー最高
子供は終わった後もアッキーアッキー言い続けてた

超オススメ！！
青の洞窟ならここ
シーカヤックからのシュノーケル絶対

It was my first time participating in sea kayaking, but I had a great time with Yo-chan's guidance! Thank you so much!!

初めてのシーカヤック参加でしたがようちゃんのガイドでめっちゃ楽しく過ごせました！ありがとうございます！！

The tour guide was kind and great, but due to bad weather, the location changed to a different bay, which was disappointing. I would like to try again.

ツアーガイドの方は親切で良かったんですが、天候不良により場所が別の入り江になってしまい、その点が残念でした。また、挑戦したいと思います。

It was great to travel from the port to the shop while enjoying the sea, greenery, and atmosphere of Tokashiki Island. The location was perfect, with Aharen Beach just nearby. Since I was there, I spontaneously joined a snorkeling session and was guided in the waters of Tokashiki Beach. I encountered two turtles right at the shallow area as soon as I entered. After that, I explored the coral and sandy areas, and I was able to see clownfish as well. Although my stay was short, it was a lot of fun. Next time, I will stay overnight. Thank you very much! (o^^o)

港からショップに行くまでの間は渡嘉敷島の海や緑、島の雰囲気を堪能しながら移動ができ良かったです。
ショップ近くに阿波連ビーチがすぐ広がり最高なロケーションでした。
せっかくなのでシュノーケリングも急遽参加させて頂き、渡嘉敷ビーチの海でガイドをして頂きました。
入ってすぐ浅場で2匹のカメに遭遇。
その後は珊瑚や砂地を周り、クマノミなども見る事ができました。
短時間の滞在でしたがとっても楽しかったです。
次回は泊まりで行きます。
ありがとうございました(o^^o)

I received polite answers to my questions before applying, which made me feel at ease about participating. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but the veteran guide from my hometown was great at explaining things, and our conversations were enjoyable. I was able to see plenty of fish up close. Every time I look at the photos I received on the way back, I remember the experience. I hope that next time I can finally go to the Blue Cave!

申し込み前の質問にも丁寧な回答をして頂き安心して参加出来ました。
　あいにくお天気悪く青の洞窟には行けなかったのですが同郷のベテランのガイドさんで説明も上手、お話しも楽しくお魚もいっぱい近くで見れました。
　帰りに頂いた写真を見る度に思い出しています。
　次回は今度こそ青の洞窟行けますように❗️

It was a cloudy day, so I was worried, but as the guide said, "The sea conditions are excellent today," the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and I saw many lovely fish—it was the best time! Our guide, Mr. Kinjo, was very kind and taught us with great care, and the recommended lunch spot was really delicious! If I come to Okinawa again, I will definitely rely on you! ♡

曇りの日だったので心配してましたがガイドさんが「海の状態は今日は最高ですよー」と言ってた通り、青の洞窟も最高に綺麗で、綺麗な魚も沢山見れて最高の時間でした！ガイドのキンジョウさんはとても優しく丁寧に教えてくれて、オススメのランチのお店もすごく美味しかった！沖縄に来たらぜひまたお世話になります♡

My first experience with diving! I had some anxiety and fear, but there was one diver for every two people, which made me feel safe as we proceeded slowly. The staff were all very kind and made it fun, and they took a lot of photos, which was amazing! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see the sea turtles I had always wanted to see, so I was very satisfied. It was also great that things like lunch and towel rentals were included, so I didn't have to carry too much luggage.

初めての体験ダイビング！不安や怖さもありましたが、2人に対してダイバーさん1人付いてゆっくりすすめてくれるので安心でした☆スタッフさんみんな優しくて楽しませてくれるし写真もいっぱい撮ってくれて最高でした！！海もめちゃくちゃ綺麗やし念願のウミガメもしっかり見れて大満足★
お弁当とかタオルレンタルとか組み込まれてるので荷物も多くならず有り難かったです。

The weather was nice, and the Kerama Blue was beautiful! I also got to see sea turtles, and the clarity of the water was outstanding. The staff were all very nice!

天気が良くて綺麗な慶良間ブルーでした！
ウミガメにも会えたし、透明度も抜群。
スタッフさんもみんないい方でした！

The staff's service, the shuttle to the hotel, the delicious bento included, and the satisfaction from snorkeling were all wonderful and amazing! I was able to see turtles and also spotted whales, which made me extremely happy!! I definitely want to go again!

スタッフさんの対応、ホテルまでの送迎あり、弁当付き(美味しい)、シュノーケリングの満足感、どれも素晴らしくて最高でした！
カメも見ることができたし、クジラも見ることができ大満足でした！！
また行きたいと思えました！

The reception staff and the guide were wonderful and cute with their lovely smiles. I was happy that the staff member played with us on the banana boat on the way back. The fish, coral, and the color of the sea were beautiful and amazing. I want to swim again.

受付のお姉さんや案内してくれたお姉さん笑顔が素敵で可愛かったです。帰りのバナナボートでもお兄さんが遊んでくれて、嬉しかったです。魚と珊瑚と海の色が綺麗で素敵でした。また泳ぎたいです。

Each group is accompanied by one instructor, allowing you to swim at your own pace. The Blue Cave is truly blue, and we were given plenty of time to take many photos and videos. This is a marine sport that I can recommend for both older and younger people.

1グループに1インストラクターが付きますので、自分たちのペースで泳げます。
青の洞窟は本当に青く、たっぷり時間も取っていただき、写真も動画も撮影もたくさんしてくれました。
年配の方も若い方にもオススメできるマリンスポーツですね。

I participated because I wanted to go snorkeling for my birthday! The winter sea was very clear and beautiful! Both the guide and the captain were very kind! I was disappointed that the number of photos was fewer than I expected, which affected my rating, but everything else was fantastic!

誕生日にシュノーケリングがしたくて参加しました！冬の海は透明度が高くとても綺麗でした！ガイドさんも船のキャプテンもとても親切でした！写真の枚数が思いの外少なかったのが残念で、評価を思っていた通りにさせてもらいましたが、その他は最高でした！

I participated in a one-day snorkeling tour, and the sea was incredibly beautiful, with the staff's service being outstanding. When I was sleeping on the return boat and kept bumping my head against the pillar, a male staff member placed an oxygen tank behind me and said, "Please lean back and sleep!" I was truly moved by his thoughtful consideration✨.

Additionally, I was very happy that they dove close to a sea turtle to take pictures with my underwater camera! It was also great to see a whale's blow during the transfer! I was excited to see the sea turtle too!!

However, it was quite cold due to the cloudy weather. I'm thinking of participating again in the summer!

1日シュノーケルツアーに参加したのですが、海は大変綺麗で、スタッフの方々の対応も素晴らしいものでした
私が帰りの船で寝ていて、柱に何回も頭をぶつけていた時に、男性のスタッフの方が後ろに酸素ボンベを置いて「後ろに寄っかかって寝てください！」と言って下さり、本当に細やかな気遣いに感動しました✨
さらに、私が持ってた水中カメラでウミガメの近くまで潜って撮ってきて頂きとても嬉しかったです！
また、移動中に鯨のブローを見ることが出来て良かったです！ウミガメも見れて興奮しました!!

ただ、天気が曇りということもありとても寒かったです
今度は夏に参加したいなと考えております！

It was winter snorkeling, but I was comfortable wearing a wetsuit. The Blue Cave was very beautiful and magical, and I enjoyed snorkeling around the cave where I could see many fish. Each group had an instructor assigned to us, so it was great to have many photos taken underwater. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

冬のシュノーケリングでしたがウエットスーツ着用で快適。
青の洞窟はとてもキレイで幻想的、洞窟のまわりでのシュノーケリングでたくさんの魚が見られて楽しかったです。
インストラクターさんがグループごとに1人付いて下さるので、海の中での写真をたくさん撮っていただけてよかったです。よい記念になりました。ありがとうございました♪
