All Reviews for Okinawa Water Sports

I went on a trial diving experience on July 25, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were kind and provided detailed instructions. I would love to try it again when I come back to Okinawa!

It seems there are no Korean staff, but they conduct the sessions in English as well! Just a heads up :)

７月２５日に体験ダイビングをしたんですが、
すごく素敵な経験でした！
スタッフさんたちも親切で詳しい教えてくれました。
また沖縄に来たらもう一度やってみたいです^^

한국인 스텝은 안 계신 것 같은데 영어로도 진행하시네요! 참고하세요:)

We visited as a family of four with our 4-year-old and 1-year-and-9-month-old children. Since we had the kids with us, it took us just under 10 minutes to walk from the reception to the boat dock. It was surprisingly tough because it was the middle of summer.

After boarding, we were guided to the second floor. There is a roof, but it was hot until departure. There are limited seating options, so elderly guests and small children all have to share seats.

The boat ride lasts about 10 minutes. The breeze during the ride feels nice. After that, we went down to the first floor to dive into the sea. The first floor is air-conditioned and comfortable.

Underwater, the scenery was just as we had hoped, and the children were thrilled. However, since we were at the back of the boat, the propeller made it a bit hard to see, and the bubbles from the propeller were slightly bothersome. Overall, we were satisfied since the kids enjoyed it. My 4-year-old said they want to ride again!

4歳と1歳9ヶ月の子どもを連れて家族四人で利用しました。
子どもを連れていたので、受付から船乗り場まで歩いて10分弱かかりました。真夏だったので、意外と辛かったです。
乗船後は２階に案内されます。屋根はありますが、出発までは暑いです。座るところが少ないので、高齢の方や小さい子はみんなで譲り合って座ります。
船で10分ぐらい移動します。移動中は風が気持ちいいです。移動後、１階に降りて海に潜ります。1階は空調完備で快適です。
海の中は期待どおりの景色が広がり、子どもたちも大喜びしてました。
ただ、船の後ろ側だったからか、スクリューがあり、少し見づらいのと、スクリューの泡が少し気になりました。
子どもが喜んでくれていたので、全体的に満足です。4歳の子はまた乗りたい！と言っていました。

I participated in a tour with my mother and my 6-year-old child starting at 7 AM. On this day, it was just the three of us, which felt like a private tour. The guide explained the snorkeling instructions in a way that was easy for my child to understand, and during snorkeling, he kindly adjusted my child's goggles multiple times. He was always attentive to my child, who had trouble relaxing in the water, and was quick to respond to any issues. He was a kind and very caring guide.

The snorkeling spot was close to the parking lot, so we didn't get tired.

The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful, and the fish were adorable. Both my child and I were very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. I was also happy that we got to take a lot of photos.

母と6歳の子どもと一緒に朝7時〜のツアーで参加。
この日は私達親子の貸切状態でした。
シュノーケル前の説明を分かりやすく子どもにもして下さったのと、シュノーケリング中に何度も子どものゴーグルなどを直してくださったり、シュノーケリング中になかなか力を抜く事の出来なかった子どもを常に気にかけて何かあればすぐに対処して下さった、優しくてとても面倒見の良いガイドのお兄さんでした。

シュノーケリング場所まで駐車場から近く疲れませんでした。

青の洞窟はとっても綺麗で魚も可愛かったです。
子どもも私も満足なシュノーケリングでした。
写真も沢山撮っていただいて嬉しかったです。

The instructor was friendly and explained things well. The children said they were glad to have this person. I'm satisfied to have such an extraordinary experience at this price.

インストラクターの方は、気さくで説明が上手いです。子供たちは、この人で良かったと言っていました。
非日常の体験がこの価格ででき、満足です。

I met up at the location, but I quickly got the place wrong...

When I parked in the hotel parking lot as instructed, the taxi driver told me it was the wrong place, but I eventually made it there safely.

I still find meeting up at the location quite confusing...

The snorkeling was a sea turtle exploration tour, but I didn't get to see any sea turtles. However, the snorkeling itself was beautiful and enjoyable. There was plenty of time as well.

The instructor was kind and attentive, thank you very much.

It was great that there were showers and changing areas on the boat.

現地集合で、早速場所を間違えました。。

説明もらったホテルの駐車場にとめたらタクシー運転手さんに違うよとおしえてもらい無事にたどり着きました。

やっぱり現地集合はよくわからないですね、、、


シュノーケリングは海亀探索ツアーでしたが海亀には会えませんでした。でもシュノーケリングは綺麗で楽しかったです。時間も十分でした。

インストラクターのお兄さんも優しく丁寧でした、ありがとうございました。

船内シャワーや着替えられる場所もありよかったです

I was taken care of with stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. The person in charge and the staff at the shop were very kind and attentive, and my elementary school son was very happy. He talked about how much he enjoyed feeding the fish and observing the hermit crabs, saying it was the most fun part of our trip. I thought stand-up paddleboarding would be difficult, but I was able to enjoy it even as a beginner. I want to challenge myself with stand-up paddleboarding again next year. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

サップとシュノーケルで

担当してくれた方もお店の方も
とても親切丁寧に対応してくださり、
小学生の息子も大変喜んでおり、

サップは難しそうと思っていましたが
初心者でも十分楽しめました。
来年もサップに挑戦したいです、
素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

The clear-bottom kayak at Manza Beach allowed us to see underwater. Although there were some waves, they were minimal for the ocean. It was a hot day, but the sea breeze made it enjoyable, and we could see tropical fish through the kayak's bottom, making for a fun time. I felt like I wanted to go a bit further out.

At one point, the instructor dove down to collect starfish and sea cucumbers for the participants to see before returning them to the sea, which was a nice memory. However, I took my wife, who was trying kayaking for the first time, and even with these small waves, she experienced some seasickness. For those who might be prone to seasickness, it's worth noting that the ocean is a bit different from rivers or lakes, so caution may be needed.

万座毛での船底がクリアで海の中が見えるカヤック。
波は多少あるものの海であればほんの僅かなもの。
暑かった日であるが海風が有り、熱帯魚は船底で見えるし楽しかった時間です。もう少し沖まで出たい気持ちでした。
途中でインストラクターが素潜りでヒトデやナマコを取り参加者がどんなものか見たのち海に返しましたがいい思い出です。
ただ、今回はカヤック初挑戦の女房を乗せたが、この程度の波でも船酔？
船酔いの可能性のある方は、川や湖と多少違うので、注意が必要かも？

When I went to Okinawa, I definitely wanted to do a mangrove kayak tour, but I ended up making a reservation three days in advance after checking the weather. At first, I thought it would be a tour focused on paddling hard, but in reality, there was a lot of nature observation and explanations. They not only shared information about Okinawa's nature but also taught us about other things, making it a rich canoe tour. The staff were kind, and I created great memories on the first day of my trip.

沖縄に行ったらマングローブカヤックを絶対やりたかったのですが、天気の様子を見てから予約をと考えていて3日前の予約になってしまいました。
最初はがっつりカヤックを漕いで行くツアーなのかな？と思っていましたが
実際は自然観察や説明も多く、沖縄の自然だけでは無く、他の事まで聞くと教えてくれ中身の濃いカヌーツアーでした。
スタッフの方も親切で旅行初日の良い想い出が出来ました。

Snorkeling on the north side of Nugan Island. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for. A downside is that since we didn't go ashore, we couldn't relax fully.

ヌガンヌ島の北側に停泊してのシュノーケリング。お目当てのウミガメには会えませんでした。残念。
上陸はしないので、ゆっくりくつろげない点はデメリット。

I thought there would be 2 to 3 photos, but they took a lot.
It said that I could use the shower, but only cold water came out.
I heard there were places where hot water was available.
The staff, especially the boys, were all kind and easy to understand.
I was able to go snorkeling without any worries.
It was fun and went by in a flash.

写真付きは2~3枚かと思ったら
すごい沢山撮ってくれた
シャワー使用できるとあったが
水しかでなかった
お湯が出るところもあったらしいが
スタッフの男の子たちは
みなさん親切わかりやすい
何の心配もなくシュノーケリングできました
楽しかった
あっという間だった

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Kerama Islands and ended up snorkeling along the main island. While we were snorkeling, it didn't rain, and I had a wonderful experience seeing small fish swimming in the beautiful sea! The full-face mask was easy to breathe in and very user-friendly. The banana boat allowed us to choose our speed, which made it a lot of fun! I hope to be able to go to the Kerama Islands next time!

あいにくのお天気で、慶良間諸島には行けず本島沿いでのシュノーケリングでした。
シュノーケルをしている間は雨も降らず、小さなお魚が泳いでいるのを綺麗な海で見ることができてすてきな経験をできました！
フルフェイスマスクは息がしやすく、使いやすかったです。
バナナボートはスピードを選ばせてくれ、楽しくできました◎
また次は慶良間諸島でできたらいいなと思います！

This was my first time in Okinawa, and I was looking forward to the Kerama Blue. It was a charter flight, but there was no air conditioning, it was bumpy, and there were children who got sick. I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit nauseous.

After arriving on the island, the transportation also had no air conditioning. We went straight to snorkeling, and everywhere we went had no air conditioning. I started to get a headache, and even after taking headache medicine, it didn't stop. I realized I was suffering from heatstroke. At the very least, I need somewhere with air conditioning; otherwise, it feels unbearable. I hope for improvements.

今回初めての沖縄で慶良間ブルーに期待して参加しました。チャーター便でしたが、クーラーなし、揺れる、吐く子供がいたり、自分も酔い止め飲んでましたが、ちょっと酔いました。
そして、島についてからの移動車もクーラーなし。そのままシュノーケル、着いてからもどこもクーラーなし、頭痛してきて頭痛薬飲んでも止まらず、熱中症ということに気付きました。。せめてどこかクーラー効いてないと死にます。改善を願います。

It was my first experience with kayaking, but the staff explained everything clearly and very politely, which made me feel at ease while participating.

カヤックの体験は始めてでしたが、スタッフの方が分かりやすくとても丁寧に説明して下さり、安心して取り組めました。

I planned a trip to Okinawa because I wanted my grandchild to experience snorkeling. One thing I absolutely wanted to include in this schedule was the Blue Cave. However, I was confused by the various pickup methods, as many shops offer tours by boat or stairs.

Among them, I was attracted to the plan that goes to the Blue Cave by kayak, but the next challenge was that many tours had restrictions such as no participants over 60 or required medical certificates. Fortunately, the guide was accommodating, so I decided to go for it with enthusiasm!

Staff member "Macchan" was very professional, even though we had a scared 7-year-old and a clumsy 60-year-old in our group. They made sure everyone could enjoy the experience, allowing us to participate with peace of mind.

At first, my daughter and her husband thought it was just "okay," but after actually participating, they were excited, saying, "It was amazing!" and "We had so much fun!" My grandchild even said the next day, "I want to see Macchan again!" and has become a big fan, still mentioning "Macchan" now that we're back in Osaka.

With all the photos taken, we created wonderful memories during our three-generation trip. Thank you so much for everything!

孫にシュノーケルを体験させたいと思い沖縄旅行を計画。
今回のスケジュールでどうしても入れたかったのが青の洞窟です。
ただ、ピックアップの方法が、ボートや階段など
たくさんのショップさんがツアーを開催されていて迷いました。

そんな中、カヤックで青の洞窟に行くというこちらのプランに
魅かれたものの・・・
次の難関が、60歳以上不可や診断書を求められるツアーが多いこと。
嬉しいことにアルガイドさんは、こちらもクリア♪
もう、ここしかない！という勢いで申し込みをしました。

スタッフの「まっちゃん」さんには、怖がりの7歳＆どんくさい60歳が
ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、そこはやはりプロ！
皆が楽しめるように、いろいろと気を配っていただき
安心して参加することができました。

最初は、「へ～、いいやん」程度だった娘夫婦も
実際に参加した後は
「最高に良かった！」「すっごく楽しかった！」と興奮状態。
孫は、次の日も「まっちゃんに会いたい♪」と
すっかりファンになっていて、大阪に戻った今も
「まっちゃん」のお名前が・・・。

たくさん撮っていただいた写真とともに
3世代の旅行で素敵な思い出ができました。
本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

The sea water was really clear, and we could see a lot of fish. The Blue Cave is not very far from the starting point, so I think even those who aren't very confident in swimming will be fine. The light blue color of the water inside the cave is also very, very beautiful. Our guide was always attentive to the participants' conditions and took many photos for us.

海の水が本当に澄んでいて、魚もたくさん見られました。青の洞窟が出発地からそんなに遠くないので、泳ぎにそんなに自信ない人も大丈夫だと思います。洞窟の中の水色はまたとてもとても綺麗です。そしてガイドさんが私たち参加者の状態を常に気を遣い、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

At Tokashiki Beach, I was able to see sea turtles and also spotted cute fish swarming around the coral, so I’m glad I joined a guided tour that knew the best spots! During my free time at Awa Island Beach, the views from the Kubandaki Observatory and Tunnel Rock were also fantastic. The ferry ride between Naha and Tokashiki Island was quite bumpy, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

とかしくビーチでは、海ガメに会えましたし、サンゴに群がる可愛いお魚たちも見れたので、
ポイントを知っているガイド付きツアーに参加して良かったです！
阿波連ビーチでのフリータイムでは、クバンダキ展望台とトンネル岩からのビューも素晴らしいかつたです。
那覇⇔渡嘉敷島は、結構揺れたので、(船)酔い止めを飲んでおくことをお勧めします。

This experience is amazing for this price.
The weather was nice, and I could see clearly underwater.
The coral and fish are beautiful.
I was quite surprised by the construction of that boat.

この金額で、この体験は驚き。
お天気も良く、海の中がよく見えました。
サンゴも魚も美しい。
あの船の作りがすごすぎて、かなりビックリしました。

We participated as a couple. Both of us had experience with dubbing, so we were impressed by the clarity of the water in Okinawa and the abundance of fish.

夫婦二人で参加しました。二人ともダビングの経験があったので、沖縄の海の透明度の良さと魚の濃さには感動しました。

The brother who assisted me was polite, which was great. Thank you very much. Thank you for the beautiful scenery.

担当してくれた、お兄さんが丁寧でよかったです。
ありがとうございました。
綺麗な景色をありがとうございました
^_^

First of all, they are not punctual. I was made to wait for nearly an hour on a hot boat, and during that time, there was no communication about why the departure was delayed. The instructor seemed inexperienced. When it was time to enter the sea, I asked the instructor for a life jacket in the crowded boat, and one after another, others came up saying, "Me too, please."

The snorkeling point prioritized water sports like jet skiing, and there were hardly any corals or fish. The instructor said, "They were here in the morning, though." When I tried to move away to a spot with corals, I was told, "Please stay close." Just beyond that, jet skis were zipping by. We were only allowed to stay in one spot.

There were many foreigners making a lot of noise, and they played music on the boat. If you enjoy that kind of atmosphere, it might be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who want to purely enjoy snorkeling. I have participated in many snorkeling options in Okinawa and was impressed by the professionalism of the staff, so I never imagined there would be a tour like this. It was a learning experience.

まず時間にルーズです。暑い船上で1時間近く待たされました。その間、なぜ出発が遅れているかの声かけもありません。
インストラクターも素人のような方でした。さあ海に入りますという声かけ時に「ライフジャケットを下さい」と込み合う船内でインストラクターに声を掛けました。次から次へと「私もください」と言うかたが寄っていきました。
シュノーケルポイントも、水上バイク等マリンスポーツ優先のポイントで、サンゴも魚もほぼいませんでした。インストラクター曰く「午前中はいたんですけどねー」との事。
サンゴのある場所まで少しでも離れようとすると。「そばにいてください」と。その先はすぐ水上バイクが滑走しています。1か所でただ留まるのみです。
外国の方も多く大騒ぎし、船上でも音楽をかけまくり、そのような雰囲気が好きな方には申し分ないかと思いますが、シュノーケリングを純粋に楽しみたい方にはおすすめしません。
沖縄で、シュノーケリングのオプションにはたくさん参加させていただいており、スタッフ皆さんプロだなと感心させられていたので、このようなツアーがあるとは想像もしておらず勉強になりました。

The sea was very beautiful, and the staff were kind, which made it the best experience! I think beginners can use it with confidence. I highly recommend it.

海がとても綺麗でスタッフの方も親切で最高でした！
初心者の方も安心して利用できると思います。
おすすめです。

私の日本語は下手ですが、シュノーケリングのコーチは英語を話せます。また、私は泳げないので、コーチは私のライフベストに通常の浮き棒を取り付けてくれました。そして、シュノーケリングの間ずっと大きな浮き棒をつかんでいました。とても面白かったです。

さらに、私たちは阿波連ビーチでの自由時間中に機材を使うことができます。休憩したり、昼食を食べたり、シャワーを浴びたりするための拠点があるのは便利です。

My Japanese is poor, the snorkel coach can speak English. Also, I cannot swim, the coach attached a regular floating rod with my life vest, and I grabbed a large floating rod during whole snorkel process. It was very interesting.

Besides, we can still use the equipment during the free time in Aharen Beach. It's convenient we have a base to rest, eat lunch and take shower.

I was able to enjoy snorkeling and marine activities for half a day. The weather was nice, and the sea was clear, allowing us to see colorful fish and sea snakes. The marine activity with Marble was thrilling and very fun. However, it was quite windy that day, and the boat was rocking a lot. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, but the swaying was intense, and some people were suffering from seasickness. Even while the boat was stationary, it was still rocking, making it tough even for those who had taken medication. I think it's better to take medication even if you're usually fine with seasickness.

シュノーケル、マリンアクティビティを半日で堪能できました。天気も良く海は澄んでいてカラフルな魚、ウミヘビ等を見ることができました。ママリンアクティビティのマーブルはスピード感もありとても楽しかったです。ただ、当日風が強くて船がかなり揺れました。シュノーケルポイントまで30分ほどでしたが揺れがすごく、船酔いで苦しんでいる人がいました。また停船している船の上でも揺れていて薬を飲んでいてもキツかったです。船酔いに強くても薬は飲んだ方がいいと思います。

The weather was great, and I was able to see beautiful views of the mangroves and the sunset! I was grateful for the same-day reservation support. Kayaking was fun and it became a wonderful experience. Thank you!

天気良好でマングローブも夕日もとてもいい景色が見られました！
当日予約ご対応いただきありがたかったです。
カヤックを漕ぐのも楽しく良い体験になりました。
ありがとうございました！

The boat to Kerama had quite high waves and was very rocky, but I was able to see a beautiful sea.
Due to the large number of people, we couldn't choose which diving spot to go to, but it was fun.
I had a really enjoyable time snorkeling.

慶良間までの船がかなり波が高く揺れが凄かったですが、とてもキレイな海を見れました。
ダイビングは人数が多い為、どちらのポイントか選ぶ事は出来ませんでしたが楽しかったです。
シュノーケルはとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was my first time snorkeling in my life! The world that I had only seen on TV unfolded before me, and it was truly moving. The staff were all very kind, and even though I participated alone, I was able to enjoy it without feeling shy.

人生初のシュノーケリングでした❗️
テレビでしか見たことの無い世界が広がり感動でした。
スタッフも皆さん親切で一人での参加でしたが、気後れせず楽しめました。

There were about 55 participants, which meant there were more people than fish while snorkeling, and I got hit multiple times on the head and body by fins. I didn't have a full-face mask, and there was no announcement about feeding the fish, plus there were repeated suggestions for optional activities, which made me tired from the start due to the time lost. On the return shuttle bus, I wasn't on the list and was worried I would be left behind. When the bus was leaving the parking lot, someone cut in line, and the other drivers were yelling, which was nerve-wracking. I guess it was understandable since it was low-priced and could be booked the day before. About 70% of the participants were foreigners, and although there was a language barrier, everyone followed the rules, which was reassuring.

参加者が55名程で大人数のため、シュノーケル時魚より人のほうが多い位で何度も足のヒレで頭や身体にあたられてしまいました。
フルフェイスマスクでもなかったし、魚の餌付けもアナウンスなしで、オプションの勧めが何度もあり時間のロスで最初から疲れました。帰りの送迎バスではエントリーされておらず危うくとり残されるとこで心配しました。バスでは駐車場を出る時順番を守らず割り込んだので他車の運転者が怒鳴っていたのでヒヤヒヤしました。前日予約できるのと低価格だったので仕方ないかな‥
参加者70%外国人で言葉の壁はありましたが皆さんルールを守っておられそこは安心しました。

It was very good.

I was able to see six sea turtles. The sea was beautiful, and I was very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. There were about 50 people on the boat, and it felt like there were roughly equal numbers of Japanese and foreigners. The guide was kind, and it was nice that they provided transportation back.

On the other hand, I was a bit concerned about the office being too crowded, possibly because the tour company is large, and the changing area was like a conference room.

Overall, I was satisfied with the experience!

非常に良かったです。

ウミガメは6匹見ることが出来ました。
海も綺麗でシュノーケリング自体は大満足です。
50名ほどの乗合いで、日本人と外国人は半々くらいな印象です。
ガイドさんも優しく、帰りも送迎してくれてよかったです。

一方、事務所はツアー会社が大きい為か、人が多すぎる点や、着替え場所が会議室みたいな場所だった為、その辺りは気になりました。

総合すると満足の内容だったのでよかったです！

We participated as a couple, and it became the best memory. The weather was great, and since it was a weekday morning, we had the place to ourselves, allowing us to take our time and really observe the underwater scenery. The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful—coral blue is the best! The ocean is just wonderful. Okinawa is the best! Guam was nice too, but Okinawa is amazing. Just being in Japan gives a sense of security, haha.

The guide was also handsome, and my husband got really into fishing talk with him, haha. It was a place that made us want to go back. We received a lot of photos, and I'm grateful for that. Thank you very much! ✌︎('ω'✌︎)

夫婦で参画
最高の思い出になりました。
天気も良かったし、平日の朝イチ貸切状態で、ゆっくりじっくり海の中での様子も見れて、青の洞窟もめちゃ綺麗でしたコーラルブルーサイコー
やっぱ海はいいな
やっぱ沖縄サイコー
グアムも良かったけど沖縄もサイコー
日本ってだけで安心感があるww

ガイドさんもイケメンで、旦那も釣りの話で盛り上がっていましたww
また行きたいって思える場所でした。
写真もたくさんいただけて感謝✌︎('ω'✌︎ )
ありがとうございました

We participated as a couple (62 years old) and had a wonderful experience with a very kind guide who took care of us in a private setting, exceeding our expectations. They took many photos and videos, creating great memories for us.

Feeding the fish was amazing, as not only did it attract them, but they also came to eat the food from my hand, which was thrilling.

I will never forget the incredible blue of the Blue Cave! It might have even been more beautiful than the Blue Grotto in Italy.

Everything was perfect after snorkeling as well. There was a dehydrator for swimsuits, shower rooms, and hair dryers available, and all the staff were very nice.

2人(62歳)で参加したのですがとても優しいガイドさん貸切でお世話いただき、期待以上の素晴らしい体験ができました。しかも沢山の写真や動画を撮ってくださり良い思い出になりました。
魚の餌付けは、魚を呼ぶだけでなく、魚が私の手元の餌を食べにきてくれて感激でした。
青の洞窟の素晴らしい青さも忘れられません！
イタリアの青の洞窟より素晴らしかったかも^ ^
シュノーケルの後も完璧でした。水着用の脱水機、シャワー室ドライヤーも完備でスタッフの方々も良い方ばかりでした。
