All Reviews for Snorkeling

everything was marvelous. The staff people was very kind and the journey was amazing.

My first dive was in the Kerama Islands! I’ve never felt this way before, dreaming about the next dive as soon as the current one ended. I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get to see any turtles. The staff's prompt and efficient service was also very pleasant to witness. I believe that contributed significantly to my desire to go back again.

初めてのダイブが慶良間諸島！
終わったとたん次のダイブを夢みるなんて今までになかったことです。かめを見れなかったことが心残りでした。スタッフの対応もテキパキとみていて気持ちいいものでした。多分にそれがまた行きたい気持ちを更に大きく作ってくれたのだと思います。

I felt reassured participating in the tour as the staff was energetic, friendly, and very experienced in dealing with tourists. During the snorkeling, I was able to see various types of fish up close, which was great. Next time, I would like to try not only snorkeling but also diving in the ocean. While kayaking, I enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa while chatting with the guide.

元気もノリもよく、観光客に対する対応もとても手慣れている様子で安心してツアーに参加できました。
シュノーケリングでは様々な種類の魚を間近で見ることができてのよかったです。次はシュノーケルだけでなく、海の中を潜る体験をしてみたいです。
カヤックはガイドさんとお話ししながら沖縄のきれいな海を楽しむことができました。

I was impressed by the clarity of the ocean. I obtained my diving license 23 years ago, but since my last entry was 15 years ago, I was worried, so I signed up for an introductory dive. I was able to do well on my first attempt, so I was allowed to do two additional dives, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful waters of Okinawa that I had always admired.

When I asked the staff, they mentioned that there are also programs for divers who are challenging themselves after a long time.

Although my diving skills were not great, I am grateful for the careful guidance and support from the instructor who accompanied me. Thank you, Ito-san.

　海の透明度に感激しました。ライセンスを取って23年ですが最後のエントリーが15年前で心配だったので体験ダイビングで申し込みました。1回目うまく出来たのでその後2回の追加ダイブさせてもらい憧れだった沖縄の海を堪能できました。
　スタッフの方に聞くと久々挑戦のダイバー用の企画もあるとのことでした。
　下手くそなダイブでしたがお付き合いいただいたインストラクターの方の丁寧なご指導とガイドにに感謝しております。伊藤さんありがとうございました。

On the day of the trip, I received a notification that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, and I considered canceling. However, since we had already made it partway, we decided to go snorkeling instead.

I was surprised by the vibrant colors and the number of fish, which exceeded my expectations. The guide was really kind, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

Next time, I look forward to planning another trip to Okinawa and hopefully visiting the Blue Cave.

当日、青の洞窟へは波が高くて行けれないという連絡をいただき、キャンセルすることも考えましたが、途中まで行っていた事もあり、シュノーケリング をすることにしました。
想像以上の色とりどりの魚とその数にびっくりしました。案内の方も本当に親切で、楽しい時間となりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は青の洞窟へ行けることを楽しみにまた沖縄旅行を計画したいと思います。

I was worried because my daughter lacked confidence in swimming, but the instructor took her with a float, so we were able to enjoy ourselves as a parent and child without any worries. The cave was beautiful, but I was also very impressed by the stunning underwater scenery on the way there. I was concerned it would be cold in the sea during mid-winter, but it was not a problem at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable and not crowded! I think it's better to bring your own bath towel.

娘が泳ぎに自信がなくて心配しましたが、インストラクターさんが浮き輪で連れていってくれるので、安心して親子で楽しむことができました。
洞窟も綺麗ですが、行くまでの海中もとても綺麗で感動しました。
真冬の海で寒いのではと心配しましたが、全く問題なく逆に空いていて快適でした！
バスタオルは持参した方が、良いと思います。

I was worried that the sea in January might be cold, but I had a great time in a 5mm wetsuit and it was not cold at all. My second-grade daughter was initially scared to get in the water, but once she got used to it, she had a lot of fun and might have been the most excited of all (laughs). The winter sea has high visibility and is not crowded, so I highly recommend it! The beautiful blue color is something we won't forget, and it was a wonderful experience for both of us.

一月の海、寒いのかな…と心配していましたが、5ミリのウェットスーツで全然寒くなく楽しめました。
小2の娘も最初は入水を怖がっていましたが、慣れて来たら楽しくなって、一番はしゃいでいたかも（笑）
冬場の海、透明度も高く、混雑もしていないのでオススメです！
綺麗な青色、忘れないと、娘も言っていて、いい体験が出来ました。

This time, I had the opportunity to experience sea kayaking and snorkeling! We were given plenty of time for both activities, and I was able to enjoy them to my satisfaction! The guide was very kind, and I felt safe while experiencing both sea kayaking and snorkeling! The photos taken were beautiful, and it was great to have those memories captured! Next, I would like to try diving!

今回はシーカヤックとシュノーケリングを体験させていただきました！
どちらもたくさん時間を取っていただき満足するまでできました！！
ガイドさんもとても親切で、安心してシーカヤックもシュノーケリングも体験できました！撮っていただいた写真もきれいで思い出を写真として残せたものとても良かったです！
次はダイビングできたいと思います！！

Great organization and time management
Supportive when asking question about the program
Beautiful view and underwater shots

It was my first experience with sea kayaking, and I was fortunate with the weather, allowing us to go out to sea! The staff were very kind and fun, making it a truly enjoyable experience (*´ω｀*). The drone footage was even better than I expected, and I was really impressed! (I felt a bit embarrassed while filming, though, haha.) It was great to see so many fish in Okinawa while snorkeling! I was amazed when they came right up to me after I fed them!

シーカヤック初体験だったのですが、天候にも恵まれ沖まで行くことも出来ました！
スタッフの対応もとても親切で楽しい方で、とても楽しめました(*´ω｀*)
ドローン撮影が思っていたよりとても良く感動！(撮ってる時は少し恥ずかしかったです笑)
シュノーケルも沖縄の魚がたくさん見れて良かったです！
餌をあげたら目の前まで寄ってきたのは感動しました！

We participated as a family of four on January 2nd. The boat was shared with about 30 people, including those snorkeling and diving. Although it was sunny that day, the wind was cold, and it was very chilly during the ride and after getting out of the water, so I was glad I wore a down jacket. The underwater visibility was the best I've ever experienced while snorkeling! I could clearly see the seabed at 7-8 meters deep, and it felt like flying in the sky. The staff taught us the names of the fish and coral while we were snorkeling and took photos for us. On the boat, we chatted with the staff and other participants, and enjoyed lunch with Okinawan soba and shiratama zenzai. It was a fun and exhilarating day for not just the kids, but also for us as a couple. The staff were all cheerful and made sure that participants felt at ease, so I think it would be enjoyable even for solo travelers or those with children. I will definitely participate again when I go to Okinawa!

1/2に家族４人で参加しました。船はシュノーケルの人、ダイビングの人と相乗りで30人くらい乗り合わせていました。この日は晴れてはいましたが風が冷たく、移動中や海から上がった後はとても寒く、ダウンを着て行ってよかったです。海の中は今までシュノーケルした中で一番の透明度でした！7〜8mある海底もきれいに見え、空を飛んでいるようでした。スタッフの方がシュノーケル中に魚や珊瑚の名前をその都度教えてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれました。船の上ではスタッフの方や参加した方とおしゃべりしたり、ランチのソーキそばと白玉ぜんざいを食べました。子供たちだけでなく、私たち夫婦もアドレナリンが出まくった楽しくてはしゃいだ1日でした。スタッフの方たちは皆さん明るく参加した人が不安にならないように対応してくれるので、一人や子供連れの参加でも楽しく過ごせると思います。また沖縄に行ったら参加します！

I participated in December! The temperature was 20 degrees, and it was cold when I entered the sea, but I got used to it quickly. There weren't many people at this time, and the caves were open, so I could take my time exploring, which was great! During snorkeling, the guide feeds the fish, and when he throws the food, so many fish come close, it's almost scary. I was impressed by the beauty of the Blue Cave. Afterward, the women's shower room had private stalls, so it was nice to be able to shower right after taking off the wetsuit. The men had outdoor showers. There weren't many mirrors in the changing room, so I think it would be convenient for those who want to touch up their makeup to bring their own!

12月に参加しました！
気温は20度あり、海に入った時は寒かったですがすぐに慣れました。
この時期はあまり人もいなく洞窟の中も空いていてゆっくりみることができてよかっです！
シュノーケルはガイドさんが餌をくれるのですが、それをまくと怖いくらい魚が寄ってきます。。
青の洞窟の綺麗さには感動しました。
終わった後のシャワー室も女子は個室になっていて、ウエットスーツ脱いだらすぐにシャワーを浴びれたのがよかったです。男性は外のシャワーでした。更衣室にはあまり鏡がなかったので、化粧直しされるかたは持参されると便利かと思います！

This was my second time participating, and this time I joined with my parents. The content and service were both wonderful! I definitely want to recommend this course to my friends.

2回目の参加となり、今回は両親と一緒に参加しました。
内容も接客も素晴らしい！
是非友人にも当コースを勧めたいと思います。

This was truly one of the coolest experiences of my life! It was amazing to watch marine life so closely - I could not recommend it more.
On top of that, the staff were so nice & helpful. Met many great people. Great vibes all around.
Also, please be advised - the water can get choppy, so take sea sickness medication!!

We participated as a family of four with our two elementary school-aged sons. Due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Grotto, but instead, we were able to go snorkeling at a nearby beach. In a way, snorkeling in such a wavy sea might have been a rare experience. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable, so all the kids had a great time.

The only downside was that we couldn't borrow towels. We had brought some just in case, so it worked out.

小学生の息子2人と家族4人で参加しました。
天候の影響で青の洞窟には行けなかったのですが、そのかわりに近くのビーチでシュノーケリングが出来ました。逆に、あんなに波のある海でシュノーケリング出来たのは貴重な体験だったかもしれません。ガイドさんもとても親切で知識も豊富なので子供みんな楽しめました。

残念だったのはタオルが借りられなかった事。念の為用意していったのでなんとかなりましたが。

I had my first experience with sea kayaking together with my husband. Even though I'm not great with ocean activities, I was able to enjoy it. At first, I couldn't find the shop's location, so I called. I parked in a space adjacent to the café next door, and after going down a narrow path, I found a grassy area with the shop further back. It's a hidden gem with a private feel, very quiet, and I could relax and enjoy myself. The instructor was friendly and kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

主人と一緒に、シーカヤック初体験。
海遊びが苦手な私でも楽しむ事ができました。
最初お店の場所がわからず、電話しました。
隣のカフェに隣接したスペースに駐車し、脇にある細い道を下ると芝生広場があり、その奥に店舗があります。
知る人ぞ知る&プライベート感があり、とても静かで、ゆったりのんびり楽しむことができました。インストラクターのお兄さんもフレンドリー且つ親切で素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。本当にありがとうございました！

It had been a while since my last dive, so I was pumped and went for three dives. Although it was a beginner experience and we stayed under 10 meters, I still had a great time. I got to see winter marine life, which allowed me to experience Kerama in a different way than in summer.

久しぶりのダイビングとあって気合入れて3本潜りました。体験なので10メートル未満ですがそれでも十分楽しめました。冬の生物も見られて夏とは違う慶良間の体験ができました。

Snorkeling is done at a depth of about 5 meters, so you can't see fish or coral reefs up close...
Water sports are the best!!!

シュノーケリングは5mくらいの深いところで行うので、近くで魚やサンゴ礁を見ることはできません...
マリンスポーツは最高です!!!

The staff were kind.
This was my third time parasailing, and I want to do it every time I go to Okinawa.
It feels like being a bird, and it's the best.
The banana boat also provides a refreshing experience.

スタッフの方も、親切でした。
パラセイリングは3回目ですが、沖縄に行く度にしたくなります。
鳥になった気分で、最高です。
バナナボートも、爽快な気分を味わえます。

We booked this trip from Australia for our sons 13th birthday with ease. Seasir contacted us a couple of days out to confirm pickup close to our accommodation as we weren't staying in one of the pickup hotels, this was easy and very close. Everyone in the company both on land and in the water was very good to deal with, helpful, knowledgeable and cheerful. My son said it was his best birthday ever. The water was so clear, lots of sea life and not crowded with loads of tourists.

First of all, I was very happy that the guide was very kind. The Blue Cave was beautiful, and I was able to see many fish. It was moving. Above all, I was able to take many photos, and the drone video was a first for me. The sea was captured beautifully, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

まずはガイドのお兄さんがとても親切にしてくださったのが、とても嬉しかったです。
青い洞窟もキレイで魚もたくさん見れました。感動でした。何より写真もたくさん撮っていただき、ドローンでの動画は初めてでしたが、海も最高にキレイに撮っていただき、何よりの思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました

This was our first time scuba diving and I was very nervous but the instructors were very friendly but also professional and guided us very well. We saw many fishes and even swam with a turtle while snorkeling at the third location! We had lunch and chilled on the boat, and at the end we showered and got changed on the boat too. They provide everything you may need including towels and all equipment! They also offered a ride home once we got back to land I did find the wetsuit a tight fit as it wasn’t meant for curves! Overall a very pleasant experience. I am still waiting on some pictures of the scuba diving and hope they will send all of them soon!~~ thank you for a great day!

I was satisfied to encounter sea turtles, which was my main goal this time✩.*˚ I saw them once when I came up for air while snorkeling, and another time while resting in the shade of a rock during diving. It was great that my friend, who was experiencing diving for the first time, was able to achieve their main goal!!

今回の1番の目的だった海亀にあえて、満足です✩.*˚
シュノーケル中息継ぎに海面に上がって来た時に１回、ダイビング中に岩陰で休憩してる時に１回、2回も会えましたよ✩.*˚
ダイビングが初体験の友達の最大の目的だったので、達成できて良かったです!!

I really wanted to try diving, so I participated alone. I was the only one diving solo, but the instructor checked in on me at just the right distance, so I was able to enjoy it even by myself.

When it was time to dive, the waves were rough, and I started to panic, thinking, "I might not be able to dive... what should I do?" However, thanks to the instructor, I managed to dive! Swimming surrounded by beautiful corals and lots of fish felt strangely magical. When a fish swam right in front of me, turned to look at me, and our eyes met, I was overwhelmed with the realization, "Wow, I'm really underwater right now!" I'm so glad I gathered the courage to participate alone!

どうしてもダイビングをしてみたくて、1人で参加しました。1人参加は私だけでしたが、インストラクターさんがちょうどいい距離感で時たま気にかけてくれたので1人でも楽しめました(^^)
いざ潜るとき波が荒くて呼吸が荒くなってしまい「潜れないかも…どうしよう…」となったんですが、インストラクターさんのおかげでなんとか潜れました！綺麗なサンゴやたくさんの魚に囲まれて泳ぐのはなんだか不思議な感覚。目の前を横切る魚がくるっとこっちを向いて目が合ったときに「うわぁ、いま海の中にいるんだ」と実感して感動しました！！1人でも勇気を出して参加してよかったです(*^^*)

The snorkeling was great! Seen so much beautiful coral and fish. The tour guide tried his best speaking English but when he tried to explain how it works he just let us read the explanation because he couldn’t say it. Also you aren’t allowed to swim with out the swimming flippers. But I didn’t get it because they were very uncomfortable. But the tour was great. Towels and food provided and a beautiful boat ride as well. If you are going to this and you have never been on a boat. Please take a seasick pill because one participant didn’t know he didn’t do Well on boats and got seasick so he couldn’t snorkel at all. Would reccommend it. And great pick up and drop off.

I made a reservation early and confirmed over the phone that prescription glasses would be available, but when we arrived on the day, we were told that there was only one prescription available for each person. My husband and I have the same prescription.

We arrived earlier than the meeting time, but we weren't allowed to change until the meeting time, so we had to wait in the car. There were two groups participating, and both had already arrived, so I thought it would have been nice if they had started the explanation and let us change earlier.

The boat took a long time to depart, and it was a shared boat. Maybe because it was crowded, I couldn't get the kind of photos my friend took, and during the fish feeding, the staff was chatting with other staff members and left us unattended. I realized I was separated from everyone, and it seemed like they didn't notice, which was a bit scary. On top of that, the boat was really rocky, and I felt sick, so it was not enjoyable at all. The diving experience I had in Kerama was amazing, so this made it even more disappointing.

早くから予約して、こちらは度付きメガネを希望し電話でも確認して十分ありますとの回答だったのに当日行ったら各自度数一つづつしかないという状態でした。私と主人は同じ度数なのに。
集合時間より早めに行ったのですが集合時間まで着替えもさせてもらえず車でまつことに。2組の参加でどちらも既に到着してたのですから説明とか始めて着替えさせくれたら良いのにとおもいました。
船についてもなかなか出発せず、船も乗合でした。混んでるせいなのか私の友達が撮ったような写真も撮ってもらえず、魚の餌やりの時もスタッフは他の知り合いのスタッフと喋ってほったらかし、気が付いたらみんなと離れたとこらに私がいたのにそのことに気がついてないようで怖いなあと思いました。おまけに船はすごく揺れて気分も悪くなり全く楽しくなかったです。ケラマで体験したダイビングは最高だったので余計残念。

In November, the weather was nice and the climate felt great. The sea had no waves and the water was incredibly clear, allowing us to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding at a leisurely pace. The guide was very skilled at teaching, and even as beginners, we were able to stand and have fun. I highly recommend this season!

11月でもお天気がよくて、気持ちいい気候でした。海は波がなく、透明度がすごくてSUPがゆっくり楽しめました。ガイドのお兄さんもとても教え方が上手で初心者の我々も立って楽しめました。
今の季節ほんとおすすめです！

Snorkeling in Okinawa was the highlight of my entire Japan trip! The instructors were so friendly and helpful, despite the language barrier. You could tell how important it was to them that everyone had a great time. This tour is 100% worth the money. Thanks for the amazing experience!

I made a reservation to play in the sea of Okinawa at least once. On the day, the weather was perfect for a day at the beach. There were many other guests around, speaking Chinese? Korean? Friends from Asia were everywhere. Some staff members can communicate in English, Chinese, and Korean, so it's reassuring even if you don't speak Japanese.

While receiving explanations on the boat, it took about 30 minutes to arrive at the point. It swayed more than I expected, so motion sickness medication is a must. Playing with fish in the transparent sea was amazing. Okinawa's sea is fantastic. Most of the staff were friendly—sorry, I initially thought some looked intimidating.

After playing for a while, we took a break on the boat. Oh, it turns out you can smoke in certain areas. They lend you glass bottles filled with water, so it's fine even without an ashtray. This is a nice service for smokers (personally, this affects my rating negatively).

There were fewer showers and changing rooms than needed for the number of people, so even though I wanted to play a bit more, I quickly changed while it was still available, and that concluded the activity. The shuttle service and towels were nice, but regarding the photos, we were just photographed without any explanation, which is another point off. (Please don't make us inquire about this ourselves.)

Recommended for:
1. Smokers
2. Those who are not good at Japanese
3. Those who are refused entry to pools or public baths for various reasons (I personally understand this culturally).

November 9 update: I will deduct points for the lack of comments from the store. I hope those who read this clumsy writing will enjoy Okinawa.

一度は沖縄の海で遊ぼうと予約しました。
当日は天気にも恵まれ絶好の海日和。
周りのお客さんは中国語？韓国語？アジアからのお友達も一杯です。
スタッフによっては英語・中国語・韓国語と対応できるらしいので日本語がダメでも安心だね☆
船上で説明を受けつつ30分といったところでしょうか？ポイントに到着。思ったより揺れるので酔い止めは必須ですな。
透明な海で魚と戯れる。沖縄の海ブラボー。スタッフの皆さんも二人に一人は親切。（ごめんなさい、最初は見た目で怖そうだと思ってました。）
しばらく遊んで船の上で休憩。おやっ、場所によってタバコが吸えるんですね。水が入ったガラス瓶を貸してくれるから灰皿が無くても大丈夫。喫煙者にはうれしいサービス。（個人的にはこれで評価を下げてます。）
人数に対してシャワーと更衣室が少ないから、もう少し遊びたいけど空いてるうちにさっさと着替えちゃえってことでアクティビティ終了。
送迎とタオルはうれしいサービスですが、写真に関しては撮られるだけ撮られたけど何の説明も無いので、これも減点。（こちらから問合せとかさせないでね。
こんな方にオススメ
1:喫煙者
2:日本語が苦手な方
3:諸般の事情によりプールや公衆浴場を断られる方(個人的には文化的には理解がある方です。)
11月9日追記
お店からのコメントが無いため減点します。
この稚拙な文を読まれた方が沖縄を満喫されますよう祈念申し上げます。

I participated in a one-day snorkeling tour to Kerama from Naha, and the weather was perfect. They took us to three beautiful spots, and the water clarity was impressive. I also went snorkeling in Ishigaki Island, but I thought this was better. The staff's pre-tour explanation and guidance were thorough, and they took a lot of photos, which made me very satisfied. However, the return boat ride was quite bumpy with high waves, similar to a roller coaster, which was scary, so I gave it four stars. But I would love to go again someday. Thank you to all the staff!

那覇発ケラマ1日シュノーケルに参加して、天気にも恵まれ最高でした。きれいなところを3か所案内してくれ、透明度も高く、感動しました。石垣島でも潜りましたが、こっちの方がいいと思いました。スタッフの事前の説明やガイドも丁寧で、写真もたくさん撮ってもらい大満足。ただ、帰りの船が波が高くジェットコースター並みの揺れと波しぶきで恐かったので星4つにしました。でも、またいつか行きたいです。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました、
