All Reviews for Okinawa Snorkeling

I took motion sickness medication before the trip. The boat didn't sway much, and the sea breeze felt nice, so I think I wouldn't have gotten seasick even without the medication. The spot we arrived at had a beautiful, clear sea, so I highly recommend it. It's especially great for those who are snorkeling for the first time. Personally, I chose this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles, so I feel a bit unsatisfied, but that's just the luck of the draw.

酔い止めを飲んで臨みました。
船はそんなに揺れなかったし、海風も気持ちよかったので、酔い止めなしでも酔わなかったと思います。
ついたポイントは透き通ったキレイな海だったのでそこはオススメです。シュノーケリング初めてのひとに特にオススメです。
私的には今回このツアーを選んだのはウミガメに会いたかったからなので、少し物足りない気持ちもありますがこれは運なので仕方ないですね。

I experienced snorkeling for the first time with my 5-year-old son! I was amazed by the clarity of the ocean in Okinawa. I wanted to keep looking underwater forever! Time flew by so quickly. Next, I want to challenge myself with scuba diving. This experience made me want to go back again. The staff provided clear and thorough explanations about the equipment and snorkeling. However, I wish they had informed us about the location of the shower and restroom at the beginning, as it was a bit hard to find.

初めてのシュノーケリングを、5歳の息子と一緒に体験しました！沖縄の海の透明度に感動。ずっとずっと海の中を見ていたかった！！あっという間に時間が過ぎました。次はスキューバーダイビングに挑戦してみたいです。また行きたい、そう思わせてくれました。お店の方の道具やシュノーケリングの際の説明も丁寧で分かりやすかった。ただ、シャワーとトイレがどこにあるのか分かりずらかったので最初に教えて欲しかったです。

I went snorkeling for the first time on my trip to Okinawa! I was a bit anxious at first since I had my 9-year-old and 7-year-old with me, but the staff were incredibly kind and guided us well, so the kids weren't scared at all. At the second spot, we encountered a sea turtle and were able to swim with it, which made the kids extremely happy! They said it was their best memory!! I want to participate again!!!

初めての沖縄旅行で、シュノーケリングに挑戦しました！
9歳と7歳の子供を連れての参加で最初は少し不安でしたが、スタッフの皆さんが非常に親切に誘導してくださり、子供達も特に怖がることもありませんでした。
2箇所目のポイントでウミガメに遭遇し、一緒に泳ぐことができて、子供達は非常に喜んでいました！　一番の思い出になったと言っています！！
また、参加したいです！！！

I had a great time that weekend morning. Not knowing what to expect I found the dive shop was casual and friendly and we soon went out to the dock for the boat ride. The boat was packed with divers, while I was going to snorkel with a few others. They have many guides, so there was no problem.

The blue cave is very nice. When you get close to it, the boat stops, you plop in the water and swim towards the cave following the floating ring towed by the guide. The cave and environs are pretty busy with divers, and it's a good thing for snorkelers that they all go underwater! Good thing for them too that the volume of the ocean can easily handle their larger numbers compared to the snorkelers on the surface. Saw many coral, and fish, and feeding the fish is fun. Those little things are pretty deft - they will eat their bread pieces from your hand but you can't catch them! The cave is nice and blue in spots, as promised, and the water is very clear. Even though it rained towards the end and on the way back, it doesn't change the cave experience. My guide was very nice and she took 79 pictures with her underwater camera which I received on a CD / DVD. They know all the right spots and poses to shoot for!

My advice is to park in the back in the middle spots (4, 5, 6). Wear your own sandals to the boat - you'll be more comfortable. Arrive in your swimsuit and bring a change of clothes and a towel. That's it, and you'll have a lot of fun!

The guide's assistance was excellent, and we were able to share an experience beyond our expectations as a parent and child! The captain and the other team's guides were also kind. I definitely want to go again!

ガイドの方のアテンドも大変よく、想像以上の体験を親子で共有できました！
船長、ほかのチームのガイドの方達も親切でした。またぜひ行きたいです！

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?

This was my second time participating. Given that it was right after a typhoon, I was worried about the unstable weather, but I was glad we could safely enter the Blue Cave. My husband, my fourth-grade niece, and I had a private tour with a super cool guide. We were lucky in that regard, but he also called my niece by name throughout the tour and took dozens of photos, showing not only a friendly demeanor but also an incredibly high level of hospitality. During snorkeling, he accurately answered our little questions, allowing the adults to enjoy it as well. My niece seemed to really like Shoma, the guide. I was also happy to see the boss who helped us last time. Next time, I plan to bring my younger niece, who is currently not very comfortable in the water, so I appreciate your support.

2回目の参加です。
台風直後ということもあり不安定な天気で心配でしたが、青の洞窟にも無事に入ることができてよかったです。
夫と小４の姪っ子と3人で超カッコいいガイドのお兄さんを貸し切りでした。そんなラッキーもありましたが、終始姪っ子を名前で呼んでくれたり、何十枚も写真を撮ってくれるなど、気さくなだけじゃなく非常に高いホスピタリティーを感じました。
シュノーケリングの間、私たちのちょっとした質問にも的確に答えていただくなど、大人も十分楽しめました。
姪っ子もショウマお兄さんのこと、とっても気に入ったようです。
最後に前回お世話になったボスにもお目にかかれて嬉しかったです。
次回は今のところ海が苦手な下の姪も連れて行きますのでよろしくお願いします。

We were informed the day before our scheduled visit that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to an approaching typhoon. Although we were disappointed since we had come all this way, we switched to snorkeling and participated instead.

The staff who guided us took us to hidden spots along the way, took lots of photos, and even told us about the sea turtle nesting areas, which made the time spent traveling enjoyable as well. ☆ They also took many photos during snorkeling, so we downloaded them and quickly created our own album! Our spirits were lifted! ⤴︎⤴︎

Next time, we definitely want to participate when there are no typhoon impacts.

The staff were very kind and taught us how to use the facilities, and even though it was a short time, we had a really fun experience! (The changing room in the facility was spacious, making it easy to change into wetsuits!)

Thank you very much.

私達が申し込みしていた日は台風接近の為予定していた青の洞窟には行く事が出来ないと前日にご連絡いただきました。
せっかく来たのだからと気落ちしていましたがシュノーケリングに切り替え参加させていただきました。
引率してくれたスタッフの方が途中隠れスポットに寄り沢山写真を撮ってくれて海ガメ産卵場所を教えてくれたりとシュノーケリング以外の移動中も楽しく過ごせた事が良かったです☆
シュノーケリング中の写真も沢山撮っていただいていたのでダウンロードし早速自分達のアルバムを作りました‼︎
気落ちしてた気持ちも上がりました⤴︎⤴︎
次回は是非台風の影響の受けない頃に是非参加させていただきたいです

またスタッフの皆さまとても親切に施設の使い方等も教えていただき短い時間ではありましたがとても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました‼︎
(施設内の更衣室が広くウェットスーツに着替えをしやすかったです‼︎)

ありがとうございました。

The plan for the sea kayaking and snorkeling tour at the Blue Cave was changed to snorkeling at the beach due to the impact of the typhoon. They were flexible and adapted to the situation at that time.

The briefing from the guide before the tour was easy to understand for the children (ages 8 and 7). Although it was cloudy and quite windy, the waves were minimal, visibility was decent, and there were quite a few fish. The guide made various arrangements, allowing the whole family to enjoy the sea. They also took many underwater photos and later sent them to us via a LINE album. Although the tour content was changed, it still turned out to be a satisfying experience.

シーカヤック＆青の洞窟シュノーケルのツアーの予定が、台風の影響でビーチでのシュノーケルに変更。その時の状況によって臨機応変に対応してもらいました。
ガイドさんからのツアー前のブリーフィングは、子供(８歳と７歳)にも分かりやすい説明でした。曇っていて風も強かったのですが、波はほとんどなく透明度もまずまずで魚も結構いました。ガイドさんが色々と工夫してくれて、家族みんなで楽しみながら海を満喫しました。また水中の画像をたくさん撮ってくれて、あとでその画像をLINEのアルバムで送ってくれました。ツアー内容は変更となりましたが、それでも満足したツアーとなりました。

I was able to enjoy the experience until the end with lectures tailored to each individual, without neglecting safety or fun. We collected seven starfish and took a group photo with them. Personally, I tried free diving for the first time while snorkeling. It was more exhausting than I expected. Next time, I want to work on diving deeper. Although we had to change locations due to the typhoon, the final diving competition was fun. I will participate again, so thank you in advance.

安全も楽しさも両方疎かにせず一人一人に合ったレクチャーで最後まで楽しめました。ヒトデが多買ったのでヒトデを7つ集めてみんなで写真撮りました。個人的にシュノーケリングで初めて素潜り挑戦。思った以上に体力消耗しました。次はもっと深く潜れるよう頑張りたい。ただ台風のせいでポイント変更にはなってしまいましたが、最後の飛び込み大会？は楽しかったです。また参加しに参りますのでよろしくお願いします。

All in all it was a brilliant activity and the people being responsible were typical Japanese- so they were polite but also really nice and they knew what they were doing. We had a brilliant time altogether. And unexpectedly saw dolphins on our way back! Thank you so much again!

The sea is beautiful, but there are very few photos. Since photos are available for free, it was a mistake not to bring my underwater camera. The staff was kind. It was helpful that transportation was included.

海が綺麗だけど、写真はめっちゃ少ないです。
写真が無料でいただけるから、自分の水中カメラを持って行かなかったのは失敗です。
スタッフは優しかったです。
迎送が含まれて助かりました。

Each group had a guide, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! The weather was also great, which made it even better. I want to participate again next year.

各グループごとにガイドさんがついてくださるため、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました！！天候にも恵まれ最高でした。来年も参加したいです。

It was really beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish ❤︎ I love snorkeling, and since it didn't take long to get there from Okinawa Main Island, I want to participate again.

本当に綺麗で魚いっぱい見れました❤︎シュノーケルが好きで沖縄本島からそんなに時間かからず行けたのでまた参加したいです。

We participated in the 7 AM snorkeling with four men. Since there were hardly any people in the water yet, the sea was crystal clear and in perfect condition! The instructor was super friendly, and we were able to relax and have an amazing time! I highly recommend early morning snorkeling!

朝7時のシュノーケリングに男4人で参加しました。まだ人がほとんど海に入っていなかったので、海の中は澄み渡っていて最高のコンディションでした！
インストラクターの方もすっごいフレンドリーでリラックスして最高に楽しめました！朝早いシュノーケリングはお勧めです！

I thought the duration would be short at about two hours, but it was actually just right. Swimming surprisingly uses a lot of energy, and I tend to get sunburned too much, so I felt it was perfect. The guide was very interesting and kind, and they took a lot of photos, which helped create great memories! There were many fish like clownfish in the sea, and I enjoyed snorkeling.

所用時間は2時間ほどと短いかな？と思っていましたが、実際はちょうど良かったです。
泳ぐと意外と体力を使いますし、日焼けをしすぎてしまうのでちょうどいいと思いました。
案内してくれる方もとても面白く親切な方だったのと、たくさん写真を撮ってくれるのでいい思い出ができました！
海にはクマノミなどの魚がたくさんいて、シュノーケリングを楽しめます。

We quickly arrived at the point and jumped straight into the sea!＼(^o^)／ The beautiful coral reef and various fish were so stunning that I was amazed…! The underwater world felt like a different realm, and I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle that was incredibly cute (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ I also got to ride the optional jet for the first time, and it was so much fun that I wanted to ride it forever! It was so fast that I was screaming the whole time (laughs). I will definitely participate again!

あっという間にポイントへついて
そのまま海にドボン！＼(^o^)／
初めての綺麗な珊瑚礁、いろんなお魚
とっても綺麗でびっくりしました…！
海の中は別世界だしたまたま会えたウミガメ
もとっても可愛かったです(｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
オプションのジェットにも初めて乗せて頂いた
んですが楽しすぎて一生乗ってたかった〜！
速すぎてずっと叫んでました（笑）
また必ず参加させていただきます！

The ship had a slide and many other enjoyable features besides diving and snorkeling. I also thought the staff were very friendly, and it was impressive that they could communicate in multiple languages.

船に滑り台なとがついていて、ダイビングやシュノーケル以外にも楽しめる要素がたくさんあった。またスタッフの皆様もとても感じが良く、多言語で対応されているのがすごいと思った

It was a wonderful tour that made me want to try scuba diving and snorkeling again if I have the chance.

We visited three points, and each one had high visibility; I could see not only the seabed at depths of over 10 meters but also the fish near the seabed. I believe the friendliness of the staff contributed to making the tour enjoyable.

One thing to keep in mind is to definitely take motion sickness medication. Depending on the weather, it can be quite bumpy.

また機会があれば，スクーバ・ダイビング，スノーケリングをしたいと思えるような素晴らしいツアーでした．

3つのポイントを回ったのですが，どのポイントも透明度が高く，10m以深の海底はおろか海底付近の魚も視認できました．
スタッフの方々のフレンドリーさもツアーを良いものにしてくれた要因だと思います．

気を付けるべきことは，酔い止めを必ず飲むことです．天候によりますが激しく揺れます．

The staff were all very kind and tried to entertain us. The weather was a bit rainy and cloudy, which was unfortunate, but it was a very enjoyable time. I would like to come again.

スタッフの方はどなたも優しく、私たちを楽しませようとしてくださりました。天気は少しの雨と曇り空で残念でしたが、とても楽しいひと時でした。

I was a woman traveling alone, lacking confidence in both swimming and physical fitness before turning 60, but I was able to encounter sea turtles twice and swim with them. If you have the time, I recommend a full-day snorkeling course over a half-day one. Unfortunately, it seemed like the fish had gone somewhere during the half-day session, but at the points around Tokashiki Island, I was able to meet sea turtles at both locations, and they performed the lovely act of swimming leisurely with me, which was a rare experience.

I also want to thank Instructor A, who probably would have preferred to assist a younger lady but took care of me, an unsure older woman, with such kindness. I truly appreciate it. I also received a postcard, which will serve as a wonderful memento of my trip. I definitely want to participate again.

泳ぎも体力も自信がない還暦前の女子一人旅でしたが、海亀に二回も遭遇できて、一緒に泳ぐことができました。もし時間に余裕があるのであれば、スノーケリングは半日コースよりも一日コースをお勧めします。半日のポイントではお魚さんはどっかに出かけてしまったようで残念でしたが、渡嘉敷島のポイントでは二か所とも海亀さんに会うことができ、一緒にのんびり泳いでくれるというパフォーマンスをしてくれて、得難い経験でした。またインストラクターのAさん、若いレイディの相手をしたかったでしょうけど、おぼつかないおばさんの私を気遣って面倒を見てくださり、本当にありがとうございました。
またお葉書も頂戴し、旅の記念といたします。またぜひ参加したいと思います。

This year, the end of the rainy season came late, and the weather was bad during our trip, but we were able to enjoy the Blue Cave somehow. It was within walking distance from our hotel in Onna Village, and the shops were nice. We had one guide for the two of us, and he was very kind, which made it easy for my friend who was visiting for the first time to enjoy it without worry. Thank you very much.

今年は梅雨明けが遅く、天気が悪い中の旅行となりましたが、何とか青の洞窟を楽しめることが出来ました。恩納村のホテルからは歩いて行ける距離にあり、お店もきれいでした。友人と2人にガイドさんが1人ついてとても親切にしてくれたので、初めての友人も安心して楽しめることが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a snorkeling tour on June 29. I wanted to show the kids the beautiful Kerama Blue. The weather was great and the water clarity was excellent. We even got to see some turtles! Thank you to the guide and all the staff!

6月29日にシュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
小学生の子どもたちに慶良間ブルーを見せたくて。
天気も良く海の透明度も抜群でした。カメさんにも会えましたー！
ガイドさん、スタッフの皆様お世話になりました！

I have been swimming in various places both domestically and internationally, and I was very satisfied with the variety and number of fish. On the day I participated, the visibility was particularly high, and I was able to experience the beautiful Kerama Blue. I saw sea turtles three times. The staff were bright and kind, and they provided careful attention to beginners, so I think anyone can participate with peace of mind.

国内外様々なところで泳いでますが、魚種も数も豊富で大満足でした。参加した日は特に透明度も高かったらしく慶良間ブルーを体感できよかったです。
海亀を3回も見れました。
スタッフの方も明るく優しく初心者の方へのケアも丁寧で安心して誰でも参加できると思います。

Amazing!

This word sums it up.

The water surface illuminated by cobalt blue, surrounded by many fish.

I took a lot of photos and I'm very satisfied.

I participated with three children, including one who couldn't swim well, but I think I was able to enjoy myself fully because we had a guide for the family. It truly became a wonderful travel memory! Thank you very much!

最高！
この一言につきます。

コバルトブルーに照らされた水面、
たくさんの魚に囲まれて

いっぱい写真もとってもらい、満足です。


十分に泳げない子を含めて３人の子供を連れての参加でしたが、自分も存分に楽しめたのは

家族に1人ガイドさんがついてくれていたからだと思います。本当に素敵な旅の思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

I had a reservation for a SUP and snorkeling set at the Blue Cave, but due to the wind and waves, we couldn't do SUP. I received a message the day before saying it was unfortunate and asking what I wanted to do. Since we were already there, I opted for snorkeling only.

It was indeed a popular spot, and it was somewhat crowded, but thanks to the amazing assistance from the staff, we were able to avoid the crowds in the cave and smoothly take photos!

We snorkeled while receiving explanations, and I got to interact with many fish, making for a very enjoyable time! Thank you so much! ✨

SUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングのセットで予約でしたが、風と波の具合でSUPが出来ず。
残念ですが‥と前日にご連絡をいただき、どうしますか？と選択肢まで。
せっかくなのでシュノーケリングのみでお願いしました。
やはり人気の場所、それなりに混んでいましたが、お兄さんの見事なアテンド力で、洞窟では人に群れることもなく、スムーズに写真も撮って頂けました！
説明してもらいながらのシュノーケリング。
お魚たちともたくさん触れ合うことができ、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました！！
本当にありがとうございました✨

It was my first time diving and I was really nervous, but it was so much fun! I was also happy to meet the sea turtle that I had been wanting to see!

ダイビングはじめてでドキドキだったけど
とっても楽しかった！
会いたかったうみがめにも会えて嬉しかった！

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was deeply moved!
We came here for our honeymoon.
It became the best memory and a lifelong memory for us as a couple!

At the third spot, we got to see sea turtles, and everyone in the group was excited!
The staff were cheerful and accommodating, which made it a lot of fun!

とても綺麗な海で大感動！！
新婚旅行で来ました。
最高の思い出になり、夫婦で一生の思い出になりました！

3つ目のスポットではウミガメに会え、参加者全員ではしゃぎました！
スタッフの方も明るく対応してくださって、楽しかったです！！

I was hesitant to enter the sea, but with the guide accompanying us, I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. The Blue Cave was very beautiful, but there were many tour participants, which made it take a while to take photos inside the cave. After exiting the cave, we were able to feed the fish and see many of them right in front of us. The guide took a lot of photos for us. According to the guide, the morning tour is recommended as it tends to be less crowded inside the cave.

海に入るのに抵抗がありましたが、ガイドさんがついてくださり安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむ事ができました。青の洞窟はとても奇麗だったのですが、ツアー客が多く洞窟の中で写真を撮るのに時間がかかりました。洞窟から出た所で魚の餌付けができ、目の前でたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。ガイドさんにたくさん写真を撮っていただきました。ガイドさんより、洞窟内は込み合うため朝一番のツアーがお勧めだそうです。
