All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I was worried that the tour would be canceled due to the typhoon, but although the return high-speed boat was canceled, I was able to participate by switching to a ferry. I was also able to stay at Awaoren Beach, and I enjoyed a wonderful view from a nearby observation deck. The staff at the facility were kind, and even though I was worried about swimming during the sea turtle tour, they provided support with a pole, allowing me to participate without concern. I was moved to see the sea turtles, as well as beautiful coral and fish.

However, it was disappointing that a group of about ten foreigners were using the facility's restroom as a changing room, making it difficult to access the restroom.

なかなかトイレに入れずその点は残念でした。

I made a reservation the night before, and it was definitely the right choice to enjoy it from the morning! I was able to experience various creatures, mangroves, and many aspects of nature. Additionally, the instructor provided a lot of explanations, which was very educational. Next time, I would like to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) as well!

前日の夜に予約しましたが、朝から満喫出来て正解でした！！
色々な生き物やマングローブ、ガジュマルなど沢山の自然を味わうことが出来ました。また、インストラクターさんが色々な説明をしてくださるので、とても勉強になりました。次回はsupも利用してみたいと思います！

I participated while a typhoon was approaching. A couple of days before, I called with some concerns, and they informed me that whether we could enter the Blue Cave would depend on the wave and wind conditions on the day itself, but if the Blue Cave was difficult to access, they would guide us to another safe location. This reassured me as we approached the day.

On the day itself, the Blue Cave was indeed closed, which was a bit disappointing, but it was short-lived as we were taken to a wonderful spot. Many people canceled due to fears of the typhoon, so there were fewer visitors, and the early morning plan at 9:30 also worked in our favor, allowing us to enjoy the clear waters thoroughly.

The guide was very kind and friendly, and he was also handsome! He was great at teaching, so my son, who is not very good at swimming, quickly got used to it and became engrossed in the experience. My son respected the guide throughout and seemed to look up to him.

I think it's a shame to cancel outright due to bad weather. I really hope everyone gets to experience snorkeling here at least once. The data from the GoPro footage was transferred to my smartphone for free right away, so it was fun to watch during our return trip.

台風が近づく中での参加でした。
2日ほど前に不安なり電話連絡すると、青の洞窟に入れるかは当日の波や風の状態で変わるので分からないけれど、青の洞窟が難しい場合は他の安全な場所にご案内しますと言われ、安心して当日を迎えることができました。
迎えた当日、やはり青の洞窟は閉鎖されており、少し残念に思ったのも束の間、素晴らしいスポットに連れて行ってもらうことができました。台風を恐れてキャンセルが多く発生し、人が少なかったことや、朝早い9:30のプランだったことも幸いだったようで、透明度が高い海で十分楽しむことができました。
お兄さんがとても優しく親切で、しかもイケメン！教え方も上手なので、泳ぎが不得意な息子もすぐに慣れて夢中になって楽しんでいました。息子は終始お兄さんをリスペクトし、憧れの存在になったようです。
天候不良でズバッとキャンセルはもったいないと思います。ぜひ一度、ここのシュノーケリングは体験してほしいと思います。
GoProで撮影してもらったデータは無料ですぐにスマホに移してもらえたので、帰りの移動中に見るのも楽しかったです。

The kind guide answered the children's detailed questions one by one, which made it enjoyable! Although the weather was a bit bad and windy, it was actually nice because it wasn't hot! It was great that we had almost the entire river to ourselves on the early morning tour. Towards the end, many other tour guests arrived, so I think an early time is recommended.

優しいお兄さんのガイドさんが子供達の細かい質問に一つ一つ答えてくれて楽しめました！すこし天気が悪く風のある日だったのですが暑くなくて逆に良かったです！朝イチのツアーでほぼ川を貸切状態だったのも良かったです。終わりがけには沢山ほかのツアーのお客さんが来たので早い時間がお勧めだなと思いました。

Unfortunately, the Blue Cave was CLOSED due to the approaching typhoon, but instead, I was taken to a wonderful beach where I was able to see many cute, colorful tropical fish. Thank you!

台風が近づいて残念ながら青の洞窟はCLOSEDでしたが、変わりにステキな海岸に連れて行ってもらい、かわいい色とりどりたくさんの熱帯魚を見ることが出来ました。ありがとうございます。

I received a notification the day before that due to the effects of the typhoon, there was a possibility of changing from Kerama to a location near Okinawa Island. However, on the day itself, it was clear and I thought we would be able to go to Kerama. On the boat, I was told that we would not be going to Kerama and that we had changed to the location that was communicated the day before. The new location had very few tropical fish, and the water was murky, which was very disappointing. I wish the changed location had been a bit nicer.

台風の風の影響で慶良間ではなく、沖縄本島近くに変更になる可能性がありますと、前日に連絡はいただいていましたが、当日は快晴で慶良間に行けると思っていました。船上で慶良間にはいかないと、前日に連絡をした場所に変更になったと言われました。変更場所は熱帯の魚がほとんどいなく、水も濁っていてとても残念でした。
変更場所がもう少し素敵な場所だと良かったです。

On the day of the dive, there were a few people who experienced seasickness due to bad weather, but once we started diving, the weather didn't matter at all. Since it was my second experience diving and the entry point was from the boat, I felt a bit anxious, but the warm support from the instructor quickly eased my worries, and I was able to enjoy my third dive comfortably.

1. Entry points for the three dives:
- First dive: Chishi
We started with snorkeling, and once I got used to it, we moved on to diving. This helped me regain some of my diving skills. There were no issues with equalizing my ears. However, the position of my goggles was slightly high, which made it a constant battle with water.

- Second dive: Nozaki
Again, we started with snorkeling, followed by diving. I adjusted the position of my goggles slightly higher based on the instructor's advice, which significantly reduced water leakage. However, the goggles fogged up, leading to a new challenge with visibility. There were no issues with equalizing my ears, and I was able to dive down to about 10 meters. I also managed to consciously slow down my breathing.

- Sand Triangle: Encounter with two turtles
I decided to take on a third dive that wasn't initially planned, aiming to encounter turtles. Luckily, I was able to see two turtles. There were no issues with equalizing my ears or fogging up my goggles. I found myself spending more time away from the instructor's hand, which gave me a bit of confidence in my ability to dive independently. At one point, the instructor removed the regulator from his mouth and demonstrated a performance where a cleaning fish cleaned inside his mouth. I thought it was amazing and found it quite funny.

2. About the visibility
When I asked the guide, I was told it was approximately over 20 meters. Despite the bad weather, the Kerama Blue was still vibrant!

当日は悪天候で船酔いされた方が何人かいらっしゃいましたが、潜ってしまえば天候全く関係ありませんでした。
2回目の体験ダイビングでしかもエントリーポイントが船上だったので少し不安でしたが、インストラクターさんの温かいサポートで不安が一気に吹き飛び、おかわりの3ダイブ目も気持ちよく潜れました。
①3ダイブのエントリーポイントについて
・1ダイブ目:知志
　最初にシュノーケリングをやり、慣れたところでダイビングに移る。ここで若干ダイビングの感を取り戻す。耳抜きは問題なし。ゴーグルの位置がやや上だったので耐えず水との戦いになる。
・2ダイブ目:野崎
　同じく最初にシュノーケリングをして、次にダイビング。ゴーグルの位置をインストラクターさんのアドバイスでやや上に修正。浸水がかなり減った。しかしゴーグルが曇ってしまい今度は視界との戦いに。耳抜きは問題なし。10m位まで潜ることができました。呼吸も意識的にゆっくりするように心がけることに余裕ができました。
・サンドトライアングル:2匹の亀に遭遇
　当初は予定していない3ダイブ目に挑戦。目的は亀遭遇狙い。運が良く2匹の亀と遭遇できました。耳抜き問題なし。ゴーグル浸水曇り問題なし。インストラクターさんの手を離れる時間も多く少し自力で潜れる自信がついた勘違いをする。途中でインストラクターさんがレギュレーターを口から外し、お掃除するお魚に口のなかを掃除させるパフォーマンスを実演。めっちゃ凄いなぁと思ったのと同時に笑えた。
②透明度について
ガイドに伺ったところおおよそ20m以上とのことでした。悪天候にも関わらずケラマブルー健在です！

It was the best snorkeling experience I've ever had. I want to continue visiting the seas of Okinawa in the future. I want people around the world to know that Japan's seas are just as good as those overseas.

過去一素晴らしいシュノーケリングでした。今後も沖縄の海へ通いたい思いました。海外の海に負けず劣らずの日本の海を世界の皆さんに知ってもらいたいです。

I participated with my two middle and high school daughters, making it a family of four.

We were unable to go to the Blue Cave due to high waves right before our visit, so we changed to snorkeling at nearby points to see corals and fish.

Although we started the tour feeling disappointed, one wonderful aspect of this shop is that each group is assigned a staff member.

My shy daughters were able to move around just with our family, so they were able to relax without feeling nervous. We took many beautiful photos and videos in the clear sea, resulting in a very satisfying tour.

The shop's facilities were also fine (this is my personal opinion), and it was nice to have a clean place to change and take a shower.

Above all, the staff were very kind, and we were able to have a fun time throughout.

In September, typhoons and tropical depressions are likely to occur, which seems to reduce the chances of going to the Blue Cave, but on the plus side, there are fewer people, allowing for a more leisurely experience.

I would like to challenge the Blue Cave again someday, and I plan to request this shop again for that occasion.

中高生の娘２人と家族４人で参加させていただきました。

青の洞窟は直前で波が高くて行けないことになり、代替えで周辺のシュノーケルポイントでサンゴやお魚鑑賞へ変更。

がっかり状態からのツアー開始でしたが、このお店のサービスで素晴らしいのが１グループに１名スタッフがついてくれる点。

人見知りの娘たちも家族だけで動けたので緊張することもなく過ごせたし、きれいな海で写真や動画まで沢山取って貰って、結果大満足のツアーでした。

ショップの施設自体も問題なく（個人の感想です）清潔な場所で着替えたりシャワーを浴びたりできた点もよかったです。

そして何よりスタッフの皆さんがとても親切で終始楽しく過ごすことができました。

９月は台風や熱帯低気圧が発生しやすく青の洞窟へ行ける確率は落ちるみたいですが、その分人も少なくゆっくり楽しめますね。

青の洞窟は又いつかチャレンジしてみたいと思いますが、その際も今回のお店でお願いしようと考えています。

The staff's detailed explanations were very interesting and captivating! The sunset revealed the sun peeking through the clouds several times, and it was so beautiful that words can't describe it! It was such a wonderful time that made me want to express my gratitude to the Earth. ✨

スタッフさんの細かな説明がとても面白く興味深いものばかりでした！
サンセットは何回か雲の隙間から太陽が顔を出してくれ、言葉にできないほど綺麗でした！
地球に感謝したくなるそんな素敵な時間です✨

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any turtles, but snorkeling while feeding fish in the clear and beautiful sea was a wonderful experience. The staff was also kind and good. I think I'll try for a turtle revenge next time.

残念ながら亀は見れませんでしたが、
透明度が高く綺麗な海で魚に餌をやりながら
シュノーケリングは素晴らしい体験でした
スタッフさんも親切でGood
次回また亀リベンジさせて頂こうと思います

The sea kayaking experience was very enjoyable. The instructor (Kana?) was also a very friendly and cheerful person. I usually don't exercise much, but I was able to enjoy it for about an hour until the end. I was very satisfied to see beautiful fish in the clear water.

シーカヤック体験、とても楽しかったです。
インストラクターのお姉さん（かなさん？）もとても気さくな明るい方でした。
普段運動をほとんどしない私でしたが、約1時間、最後まで楽しむことができました。
透き通った水の中に美しい魚も見ることができて、大満足でした。

I chose three types of marine sports. On the shuttle bus to the location, we selected the activities we would participate in from a variety of marine sports. The transfers between activities were mainly done by small boats or larger ships, and while some of us experienced seasickness, we received attentive care.

マリンスポーツを3種目選択しました。行きの送迎バス内で、数多くのマリンスポーツの中から自分たちが行う種目の選択を行いました。各種目間の移動は主に、小さなボートあるいは大きめの船にて移動することとなり、自分たちの中で船酔いを起こす人が居ましたが、丁寧にご対応いただけました。

Even those who can't swim can enjoy it, so it's安心!

You can also have a great time feeding fish up close, which was very satisfying◎

The staff were friendly and kind!

I liked that we could take photos near the fish.

I think it's something that friends and family can enjoy together!

泳げない方、お子様でも出来るので安心です！


近くで魚と触れ合いながら餌やり体験も出来て
大満足◎

スタッフの方も気さくで優しい方でした！

魚の近くで写真を撮ってもらえるので
そこが良かったです。

友達でも、家族でも楽しめる内容だと思います！

The guide was very kind and taught me a lot. It was the best! I learned a lot about plants and insects with the guidance.

親切にガイドしていただきいろいろ教えてもらえました。最高でした！植物や虫などたくさんガイドしてもらって勉強になりました。

It was my first experience, but thanks to the guide's attentive service, it was enjoyable. I would like to go again next time. It was a good memory.

初めての体験ですが、ガイドさんの丁寧なご対応で楽しいかったです〜
また今度行ってみたいと思います。
良い思いでした。

It was my first time, but you explained it clearly, so I was able to stand! It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

初めてですが、わかりやすく教えてくれたので、立つことができました！
楽しかった！！！！！！！！！！

My first kayaking experience was fun! I learned a lot from the explanations about various plants and interesting facts! I was lucky to see a wild mongoose today✌️ It's quite hot during the summer, so don't forget to take measures against sunburn and heatstroke! Also, there was a leak from the paddle, so my clothes got wet every time I paddled! Since you'll be sweating, it's a good idea to have a change of clothes!

初めてのカヤックは楽しかった！
色々な植物の説明や豆知識を聞けて勉強になりました！
今日は野生のマングースも見れてラッキー✌️
夏場はかなり暑いので、日焼け対策、熱中症対策は忘れずに！
あと、パドルから水漏れがあり、漕ぐたびに服が慣れました！汗もかくので着替えがあると良いでしょう！

I was suddenly combined with a diving activity on the same day, resulting in a wait time of an hour and a half. My afternoon activities were canceled. It was the worst experience.

The instructor was professional, and I appreciate the transportation service, but if I have to wait an inexplicable hour and a half because of the diving activity, I wish I had been informed earlier. If I had known beforehand, I would have canceled...

I will never make a reservation again.

当日いきなりダイビングと一緒にされ待ち時間一時間半発生。午後のアクティビティキャンセル。最悪です。
インストラクターの方はしっかりされてますし、送迎もあり感謝してますが
ダイビングと一緒にされ謎の一時間半待つなんてこと起きるなら早く言って欲しい。
前から知ってたらキャンセルしてたのに、、、、
2度と予約しません。

I have experienced mangrove kayak tours abroad, but I wanted to try it in Okinawa as well, so I applied for it. Along the way, I was able to see a mongoose, which was enjoyable. Thank you very much.

マングローブカヤックツアーは海外でも経験がありましたが、沖縄でも体験したいと思い申込させていただきました。
途中、マングースも見ることができて、楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a tour to see sea turtles with friends as a memory for my last days in my 40s. It had been about 20 years since I last went into the ocean, and I was filled with anxiety rather than excitement. However, thanks to the instructors' thorough explanations and their considerate encouragement for those who couldn't swim, I truly had a fun and valuable time, creating the best memories! Although it was a short half-day tour, we were well-informed about the spots to see the sea turtles, and we were able to see them properly!

40代最後の思い出に友達とウミガメに会えるツアーに参加しました。海に入るのも20年ぶりくらいで楽しみより不安で一杯でしたが、インストラクターの人達の丁寧な説明、泳げない人への気配り優しい声かけで本当に楽しく貴重な時間を過ごせてサイコーの思い出になりました！
半日という短い時間でしたがちゃんとウミガメに会えるポイントも分かっていてしっかりウミガメにも会えました！

I received support for snorkeling, and thanks to Doraemon, I was able to see the turtles while being guided closely. I also managed to stand up on the wakeboard. Everyone was really nice.

シュノーケリングでサポートしていただき、ドラえもんさんには付きっきりで引っ張っていただきカメを見ることができました。ウェイクボード？も何とか立てました。皆さんいい感じの方ばかりでした。

It was my first time snorkeling, and I really enjoyed it! Even though there were 22 people, they took care of us attentively, and we had a lot of freedom as well!

シュノーケリングは初めてだったのですが、しっかりと楽しめました！22人という大人数でしたが丁寧に対応してくださり、また自由度も高かったです！

I participated with a large group of 22 friends from university, and the guide was very attentive, which allowed us to enjoy the experience. The guide's stories were also interesting!

大学の友達22人という大人数で参加しましたが、ガイドの方にしっかりと対応していただき、楽しむことができました。ガイドの方のお話も面白かったです！

The footage taken from the drone was truly beautiful and breathtaking. The snorkeling near the Blue Cave was enjoyable, even with small children, thanks to the attentive instructor.

ドローンからの撮影した映像は本当に綺麗で圧巻でした。青の洞窟付近でのシュノーケリングも小さい子供連れでしたがインストラクターの方がしっかりしてくれてましたので楽しめました。

I had a great time! The staff were also very friendly. Personally, I recommend adding water activities in addition to snorkeling! Also, there were quite a few people who got seasick, so I think it would be better to take motion sickness medication to enjoy it more.

とても楽しかったです！スタッフの方も親切でした。個人的にはシュノーケルに加えて、水上アクティビティをするのをお薦めします！あとは結構船酔いしてる人がいたので、酔い止め薬は飲んでおいた方が楽しめるかなと思います。

It was efficient and felt great! The ocean was incredibly beautiful. It would have been better if there were point transfers. The staff's response was also good!

テキパキしてて気持ちよかった！海は最高に綺麗でした。
ポイント移動があれば直良でした。
スタッフの対応も良かったです！

It was my first time fishing at sea on a boat, but they kindly taught us how to attach the bait, and all four of my family members successfully caught fish. We caught colorful fish unique to Okinawa. It was a lot of fun!

船での海釣りは初めてでしたが、餌のつけ方等、親切に教えて頂き、家族4人全員、無事に釣れました。
沖縄ならではの色鮮やかなお魚が、釣れました。とても、楽しかったです。

On the second day of our trip, we were worried about the typhoon on August 26. However, we were blessed with good weather and went out to the sea at Sesoko. I had my first experience with parasailing and banana boating, both at over 60. I was filled with anxiety, especially since I'm not great with heights, but parasailing was incredibly comfortable. The banana boat was also a lot of fun. It was the best experience!

8月26日台風が心配された旅行の2日目。天候に恵まれ瀬底の海にでました。パラセーリングとバナナボートに６０を超えて初体験。特にやや高いところが苦手な私にとって不安でいっぱいでしたが、、パラセーリングはめちゃ快適でした。バナナボートもめちゃ楽しかった。最高の体験をすることができました。

I've been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first time kayaking. I felt a bit nervous but also excited when getting on the boat. As we smoothly glided to the middle of the river, I enjoyed the refreshing breeze and the sound of chirping birds. I even heard a Japanese bush warbler singing. We saw mudskippers, banyan trees, and even a mongoose! I wanted to go a little further, but reluctantly turned back... At the very end, my partner wobbled while getting off the boat and ended up getting splashed! I recommend bringing a full change of clothes. It was a fun experience, thank you!

沖縄は何度も遊びに来たけれど、カヤックは初めて。乗船するときは、ちょっとドキドキ、でもワクワク☺️
川の真ん中にスーッと進むと、気持ち風と、聞こえてくる鳥のさえずり。ウグイスも鳴いてるわ。
トビハゼに、ガジュマル、マングースまで❗️
もー少し向こうまだ行きたいなぁ、と後ろ髪引かれながらもＵターンで戻り…
最後の最後に、相方が下船する際にふらつき、浸水っ(￣^￣) 着替えは、全身分お待ちすることをオススメします。
楽しい経験、ありがとー
