All Reviews for Top Okinawa Attractions

With the new bus and only eight passengers, I felt a bit sorry. The guide was a veteran and very good at storytelling. We had plenty of time at the aquarium, which was great.

新しいバスで、たった８人の乗客なので、申し訳ないでした。ガイドさんがベテランでとても話の上手なかたでした。水族館もたくさん時間があって、よかったです。

Positive Points
● Store Atmosphere: The store is very clean and user-friendly, with changing rooms and hair dryers available. Most of the staff left a good impression. However, there is only one restroom, which can get crowded.
● Store Location: Just be careful to look for it as you enter the small alley from the main street, and you'll find it. The parking is a bit tricky, but within acceptable limits. Since the store is close to the port, you can change into your wetsuit and walk over.
● Guide: The guide was cheerful and reliable. I was satisfied with the many photos taken.
● Boat: The ride is about five minutes long, so I think it's manageable unless you're prone to seasickness. If you are, I recommend sitting towards the back where there's less rocking. By the way, there is a restroom on board.

Negative Points
I reserved a free GO PRO rental plan, but when I arrived at the store, they said it was a regular reservation, which caused a bit of a dispute. The woman at the reception seemed unyielding, and I didn't want to disrupt the happy atmosphere of the family behind me, so I paid the rental fee of 3000 yen and for the microSD.
However, once we entered the Blue Cave, I received a warning message about an SD error on the camera, and I couldn't take any more photos after that. Fortunately, the guide took plenty of pictures, and I had some good videos and photos up to that point, so I decided to enjoy the Blue Cave and head back.
When I got home and tried to share the videos and photos with everyone by plugging the SD card into my computer, it was broken and unreadable. My memories...
Thinking back, it's frustrating.

Based on this experience, if anyone is considering renting a GO PRO, I recommend preparing a screen copy of your reservation on the day. If an error occurs during filming, check if you can view the photos when you return to the store or plug it into a computer, or if you can check it on your smartphone.

It's disappointing, especially since everything else was good.

良い点
●お店の雰囲気・・・とても綺麗で更衣室やドライヤーなどもあり使いやすく、お店の方も一部を除き好印象でした。トイレが1つしか無いので混みます。
●お店の場所・・・メイン通りから小道に入る所だけ注意して探せば見つかります。
駐車場は少し止めにくいけど許容範囲。
店舗が港まで近いためウェットスーツに着替え準備してから徒歩にて移動。
●ガイドさん・・・明るくて、頼りになるガイドさんでした。写真もたくさん撮って頂いて満足です。
●船
５分程度 なので酔いやすい人でない限り大丈夫だと思いますが、酔いやすい人は揺れの少ない後方に座る事をオススメします。
ちなみにトイレ付き

悪い点
予約の際に GO PRO無料レンタルプランで予約しましたが、お店に着いたら通常予約になってるとの事で少し揉めました。受付の女性はこれ以上話をしても拉致があかなそうなタイプだったのと後ろで楽しそうにしている家族の雰囲気を壊したくなかったので、レンタル料3000円とマイクロSD代を支払いレンタルしました。
・・・・が、しかし青の洞窟に入ってカメラにSDエラーとの警告メッセージが・・・そのエラー以降の撮影は出来ませんでした。
ガイドさんが写真をいっぱいとってくれてたのと、そこまでの動画や写真だけでも良いのが取れてたので諦める事にして、青の洞窟を満喫して帰りました。
家に帰り当時の動画や写真をみんなに共有しようと思いパソコンに挿したところ、SDが壊れていて読み取り出来ませんでした。 思い出が・・・
今思うと腹立たしいです。

この経験を踏まえて、もしGO PROのレンタルを考えている方がいたら、予約する際の画面コピーなどを当日準備しておいた方が良いと思います。
撮影中にエラーが出た場合、お店に戻ったら写真が見れるかパソコンなどに挿してもらい確認してもらう、もしくは自分のスマホなどで確認出来る場合は確認をオススメします。

その他が良かっただけに残念です。

The day I participated, the weather was great, and everywhere I went, I could see the blue sky and blue sea, making it a highly satisfying tour. The guide was truly professional, providing historical insights and entertaining us with songs and dances without a moment's rest, which made it enjoyable beyond just sightseeing. For those who can't drive, it's a very efficient tour that allows you to visit various attractions. If I had to mention one disappointing point, it would be that the last stop, Ryukyu Village, was a bit underwhelming since it was in the evening.

参加した日は天気も良く、行くところは全て青い空、青い海が見られてとても満足度の高いツアーでした。
また、ガイドさんもさすがプロっ！という感じで、乗車中は歴史の案内や、歌に踊りと休む間もないほど頑張っていただき、観光以外でも楽しめました。
車に乗れない人にとっては、効率よく観光地を巡れるとてもいいツアーです。
一つだけ残念な点をあげるとすると、最後に行く琉球村が時間も夕方とあって、ちょっと微妙でした。

It was my first time in Okinawa, so I requested a tour that covered the main attractions. It was packed with activities, but I think the timing was just right. At the Okashi Goten, I was able to do a lot of shopping and also enjoyed some tastings (laughs). The guide entertained us by singing songs on the bus and sharing various stories, which made the experience very enjoyable.

初めての沖縄でしたので、メインどころを回るツアーをお願いしました。
盛りだくさんの内容でしたが、時間的にもちょうどよかったと思います。
御菓子御殿ではたくさん買い物もでき、試食もできました（笑）
ガイドさんがバスの中で歌を歌ってくれたり、いろいろな話をしてくれたりして、とても楽しませてくれました。

The coach was a bit late because of traffic, so that wasn't the fault of the tour, but other than that the trip was great. The butterfly house is in fantastic grounds and the butterflies are really used to humans. It would have been nice to have a bit longer there to get the feel of the place a bit more more, but it was a good start. The aquarium is superb! The dolphin show and manatees were extra bonuses. The location was amazing and the gorgeous little beach in the grounds of the aquarium was lovely. The pineapple park was a very brief stop. As with the butterfly house, a longer stay would have been good. The glass blowing place was essentially a shop, but if you just go there thinking about getting a reasonably priced souvenir and seeing something a bit different, it was enjoyable as well. The tour guide had very limited English but tried hard and provided us with gps based English speaking audio guides which helped us to learn a bit more about what we saw. The price was brilliant for what we did and would recommend the trip to anyone staying in Onna so that they can see a bit more of the north of the island

We participated as a family of four with our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children.

The reason for reducing the rating by two stars and giving it a score of three is:

★ First point → Even though the children couldn't swim well, the instructor only gave them warnings.

★ Second point → I was aware that there was a possibility we might not go to the Blue Cave, but we were informed of this only after arriving at the shop, unloading our belongings, and starting to fill out the participation form. The price remains the same even if we can't go to the Blue Cave.

☆ Third point → If we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, we were taken to a place with artificially arranged coral, where fish were swimming around, but the water was murky, likely due to the high waves, so we couldn't snorkel in a "beautiful sea." However, I didn't deduct points for this since it was just bad luck.

I had high expectations because many families with young children had wonderful experiences, but it didn't quite meet those expectations. Although we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves, we decided to participate because we could snorkel in a place where fish were swimming.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, the children, who were not used to the sea, received various warnings from the instructor. Even with the warnings, the children, being inexperienced, kept making the same mistakes.

■ When we reached the snorkeling area, the 6-year-old couldn't touch the bottom, so when they flailed their legs while still wearing fins, the instructor repeatedly told them, "Don't move your legs."

■ The child seemed anxious about not being able to touch the bottom, and when they tried to sit on the float that the instructor was holding, they were told, "Don't put your body on it." They continued to unconsciously try to use the float, so I had to intervene.

■ The 6-year-old struggled to hold the snorkel properly and was repeatedly told, "Don't make an 'i' shape with your mouth. Make a 'u' shape. Your mouth should be in a 'u' shape."

Since the children were flailing their legs in an unfamiliar environment and receiving warnings, both parents were caring for the children while trying to manage the situation before the instructor had to step in.

The 6-year-old was swallowing seawater because they couldn't hold the snorkel properly, but the instructor only gave warnings and didn't assist with caring for the children.

As parents, we had to adjust the children's goggles and help them reposition the snorkel while on the unfamiliar sea. The 9-year-old adapted quickly and, although they unconsciously flailed their legs, it didn't take long for them to swim freely.

The instructor was friendly and engaged with the children, saying things like, "You can see these kinds of fish," and scattering food around the boat to attract fish while caring for the kids.

While participation is allowed for young children, it seems that the instructor does not necessarily provide care for the children, allowing adults to swim freely.

The 6-year-old said, "I drank a lot of salty water, but it was fun," so it seems they enjoyed the experience.

６歳と９歳の子供連れで家族４人で参加しました。

評価の星が２つ減って　評価を３にしてある理由は

★１つ目→子供が上手に泳げなくてもインストラクターの人から注意をされるだけだった。

★２つ目→青の洞窟に行けない可能性があるのは知っていましたが、それを知らされるのが店について荷物を降ろして参加申込書に記入し始める時だった。青の洞窟に行けなくても料金は変わらないです。

☆３つ目→青の洞窟に波が高くていけなかった場合、行けるところは珊瑚？が人工的に整列させておいてあり、その周りを魚が泳いでいるけど、波が高いせいか水も濁っていて「きれいな海」をシュノーケリングできるわけではなかったです。でも、これは運なのでマイナスしていないです。

幼児連れで素敵な体験をされた方がたくさんいたので期待してた分、期待どおりではなかったです。波が高く、青の洞窟にはいけなかったものの、魚を泳いでいる場所でシュノーケルができるということで参加をきめました。
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
シュノーケリングポイントに到着すると
子供は海になれていないのでインストラクターの方から色々と注意を受けていました。
注意を受けても子供達は慣れていないので何度もしてしまいます。

■シュノーケルできる場所に着くと子供が足が海の底に着かないので、自然と足ヒレをつけたままバタバタと動かすと「足うごかさない」とインストラクターの人が何度も子供に注意してくれていました。

■足がつかないのが不安なのか子供がインストラクターの人がひっぱってくれる浮き輪に体を乗せると「体はのせない」と注意してくれていました。その後も無意識に浮き輪にしようとしていたので、こちらで止めていました。

■６歳の子供はシュノーケルをくわえるのが上手く出来ず、何度も「’い’の口の形にしない。’う’の形にする。口は’う’の形」と注意してくれていました。

子供も慣れていない環境で足をバタつかせて何度も注意を受けるので、そのたびに親2人で子供達をケアしながらインストラクターのお兄さんに注意を受ける前に子供達のケアをしていました。

６歳の子供はシュノーケルがうまくくわえられず何度も海水を飲んでいましたが、インストラクターのお兄さんからは注意をうけるだけで子供達のケアをしてくれるとかはなかったです。

親は慣れない海の上で子供のゴーグルを直したり、シュノーケルをくわえなおさせたりしなければいけなかったです。９歳の子は慣れるのが早く、足を無意識にバタつかせるものの自由に泳ぎまわれるまで時間がかからなかったです。

インストラクターの方も感じは良くて、海に行ってシュノーケルをさせるまでは「こんな魚がみれるよ」とか船の周りに餌をまいて子供に話しかけたりしてくれて子供達のケアをしてくれていました。

幼児の参加OKだけど、インストラクターの方が必ず子供達をケアしてくれて大人が自由に泳げるというわけではないようです。

６歳の子は「からい水いっぱい飲んだけど楽しかった」と言っていたので楽しめてはいたようです。

I participated with two friends. It was reassuring to have a dedicated instructor. They also take photos underwater if you give them an SD card. However, I found out on the day of the event, while checking in at the meeting point, that we couldn't go to the Blue Cave due to high waves. I wish I had known about that possibility in advance during the confirmation call the day before...

友人２人で参加しました。
専属のインストラクターさんがつくので安心でした。
水中での写真もSDカードを渡せば、撮ってくれます。
ただ、高波のため青の洞窟には行けないということを知ったのは
当日、集合場所で受付しているとき。。
前日の確認電話で、その可能性があることは事前に知っておきたかったなあ…。

On September 23rd, I had an experience with my daughter. The Blue Cave was truly beautiful, and even though I'm not good with the ocean, I lost myself in the moment and became completely absorbed. The instructor was very kind and provided clear and thorough guidance from the initial explanation. We were able to take many photos, which became wonderful memories. I definitely want to request this again the next time I go to Okinawa. Thank you very much!

9月23日に娘と体験させて頂きました。
青の洞窟は本当に綺麗で海が苦手な私も我を忘れ夢中になってしまいました。
インストラクターのお兄さんもとても親切で初めの説明から解りやすく丁寧に指導して頂けました。写真もいっぱい撮って頂けていてとても良い思い出になりました。
次に沖縄に行ったときも是非お願いしたいと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。

I traveled to Okinawa for the first time with a friend. Since it was right after the rainy season, I was surprised by how hot it was during our short walks! The Churaumi Aquarium and the dolphin show "Okinchan Theater" were cool and provided us with a very enjoyable time, especially since we both love marine life.

Since we were also traveling from our hotel in Onna Village to Naha, I think it was quite reasonable. The only downside is that we arrived in Naha a bit late, but I suppose that's just how it is. It's also great for those who are not comfortable driving a rental car on unfamiliar roads or for those who want to enjoy a drink while sightseeing.

沖縄が初めての友達と二人で乗車しました。今回は梅雨明けだったこともあり、ちょっとした徒歩での移動が想像以上に暑くてびっくりしました！
美ら海水族館やイルカショー「おきちゃん劇場」は涼しく、また生き物好きの私たちにはとても楽しい時間となりました。
恩納村のホテルから那覇への移動も兼ねてだったので、かなりリーズナブルだったと思います。
那覇に着くのがちょっと遅い時間になるのが玉に瑕ですが、それは仕方がないのかなと。
不慣れな道でレンタカーが不安という人や、観光中にお酒が飲みたい人にもいいですね。

The instructor guided us strongly, so I felt at ease even though it was my first time. The Blue Cave is so popular that it's really crowded on weekends.

インストラクターさんが力強く導いてくれたので、初めてでも安心でした。青の洞窟は人気ありすぎて土日は混み混みですね。

I had a great experience on the tour organized by Rad Kanko last time, so I was looking forward to participating again with my daughter. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour itself, both my daughter and I were surprised by the poor manners of some families with children, which diminished our enjoyment. If possible, I think it would be better to separate the seating for families with children and adults without children, either in the front or back, so that everyone can enjoy the trip without any unpleasant feelings. I had such an unpleasant experience that I'm now reconsidering using tour buses in the future, so I wanted to share my experience.

ラド観光さんの前回参加のツアーが良かったので今回も娘と楽しみに参加しました。ツアー自体の内容には大満足ですが、参加されているお子様連れの方々のマナーの悪さに母娘共々ビックリしてしまい楽しさが半減してしまいました。出来たら、お子様連れの方々と、そうでない大人の方々の座席を前方、後方等に分けて頂いた方がお互いに嫌な思いをせずに旅が楽しめたのでは無いかと思いました。これから観光バスを利用するのも考えてしまうくらい嫌な思いをしましたので、体験談として投稿させて頂きました。

On my second trip to Okinawa, I finally visited the Blue Cave ( ¨̮ )/
It was more popular than I imagined, with crowds inside the cave‼︎
The moment I saw the beautiful blue was truly moving☆
And above all!!
I was very satisfied with the photos taken with the underwater camera that was lent to me for free, capturing the essence of Okinawa‼︎ (*⁰▿⁰*)

人生2度目の沖縄で念願の青の洞窟に行きました( ¨̮ )/
洞窟の中が混雑するという想像を超える人気ぶりでした‼︎
あおーーく綺麗に見えた瞬間は感動しました☆
そして何より！！
無料で貸して頂いた水中カメラでの撮影ではThe沖縄‼︎を思い出に残せて、大満足でした(*⁰▿⁰*)

I participated in snorkeling.

The Blue Cave was mystical and beautiful. The sea surrounding the cave was also clear, and there were many fish.

However, since it is a quite famous spot, there were a lot of people. The cave is not very spacious, so there was a wait, and it didn't feel like we could swim freely. There were moments when some people couldn't keep up with the instructor and were being scolded, which made me wonder about that.

I felt that it would be best to avoid the busy summer season.

シュノーケリングで参加しました。

青の洞窟は神秘的で美しかったです。
洞窟周囲の海もキレイで魚がたくさんいました。

しかし、かなり有名なスポットなので、人がとても多い。
洞窟もそれほど広くはないので、
順番待ちがあり、自由に泳ぐという感じではありません。
インストラクターさんに付いてこれない人がいて叱られている場面もあり
ちょっとどうなのかな…と思ってしまいました。

夏の混雑時期は避けるべきだと感じました。

This was my first trip to Okinawa! I considered renting a car, but since I wanted to visit not only the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium but also a few other places, I signed up for a tour because it was convenient and not expensive.

We participated as a family of four (with children in 3rd and 5th grade), and everyone was thrilled with the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, as well as Ryukyu Mura and Pineapple Park.

At Ryukyu Mura, we had an early lunch, and the soba was delicious. The butterfly garden inside was also interesting. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has a relatively long visiting time, so we were satisfied not only with the aquarium but also with watching the dolphin show at the Ocean Expo Park's Okichan Theater and dipping our feet in the ocean.

Although it took time to pick up other tour participants from several hotels on the way to our destination, it wasn't too bothersome since we enjoyed the scenery outside. I think it's a day full of enjoyment.

初沖縄です！

1日堪能できると思います。

I was able to travel much cheaper than if I had paid for the rental car and facility fees myself. It's quite affordable!

自分でレンタカーや施設料を個人で支払いするより断然安く旅ができました(*^_^*)かなり格安です(*^_^*)

I was anxious about my first diving experience, but with the careful support of the instructors, I was able to enjoy diving very much. Unfortunately, due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to our intended location, but the experience was still very satisfying.

初めてのダイビングで不安でしたが、インストラクターの方々の丁寧なサポートのもと、とても楽しくダイビング出来ました。
台風の影響で残念ながら目的の場所には行けませんでしたが、充分満足できる内容でした。

It was a package with parasailing and banana boat rides, and the weather was perfect! Since parasailing involves other guests participating in the same session, we had to wait on the boat while others were parasailing. It was fun, but I suffered from seasickness, so I give it a rating of 3.

パラセーリングとバナナボートのパックでしたが、お天気にも恵まれ最高でした！
パラセーリングは他のお客さんも一緒の回に参加するため、他の方がパラセーリングされている間の待ち時間は船の上で待機…。楽しかったのですが、当方船酔いに悩まされ、評価3つです。

It was helpful to be able to go to various places by bus. I really enjoyed my first trip to Okinawa! However, the time for gathering came around quickly for each activity, which made things a bit hectic.

バスで色々行けるのは助かりました。
初沖縄を満喫できました！
ただ、やはり１つ１つあっという間に集合時時間が来てしまい、少し慌ただしいです。

The tourist guide and driver are very kind and professional. Trip planning is very suitable for foreign tourists, especially those without transportation. I am very glad to join this trip.

The tourist guide and driver are very kind and profession.Trip planning is very suitable for foreign tourists , especially without transportations.Very glad to join this trip.

I wanted to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, so I chose this tour that includes transportation from the hotel. There was plenty of time, and with the entrance ticket included, the price was a great deal. The guide was friendly and provided thorough explanations. There were several foreign guests, but thanks to the English notices about the meeting time posted in a few places, we were always able to depart on time. Thank you very much for a wonderful trip.

美ら海水族館に行ってみたくて、ホテルから送迎があるこのツアーを選びました。
時間もたっぷりあり、入場券付きでこのお値段はお得です。ガイドさんも感じがよく、説明も丁寧でした。外国人のお客様も何組かいらっしゃいましたが集合時間の注意を何箇所かに英語で掲示していたせいか、いつも時間通りに出発できました。楽しい旅行を本当にありがとうございました。

It seems that various companies are approaching the Blue Cave. As a result, there is a huge traffic jam inside the cave. To enter the cave, you disembark about 50 meters before and everyone grabs onto a float to get to the cave... well, it's quite hectic. The sea along the way is very beautiful, but you have to hurry to get to the cave. If you fall behind, you will be scolded to hurry up without mercy.

Even upon arriving at the cave, there is a big traffic jam, resembling a crowded train. Well, that can't be helped... but you are constantly rushed.

The photo spot is only on the left side of the exit. Each tour company uses this spot in turn. After finishing, you return near the boat and play with some fish before wrapping up. But the sea is beautiful, with many small schools of fish. It's not often you get to see this scenery while snorkeling. In that sense, it's a spot you should visit at least once.

Good points:
- It was incredibly beautiful.
- There was no waste of time from check-in to disbanding.
- The point is very close.

Points to note for those going:
- The parking lot is hard to find, so please simulate it in advance.
- You should be able to swim a little... it can be quite tough otherwise.
- You can buy an SD card on-site (8GB for 1000 yen).

色んな会社から、青の洞窟にアプロローチしているようです。
よって洞窟内は大渋滞ｗ
洞窟の中に行くのには50メートルぐらい手前に下船して
皆でフロートに捕まって洞窟まで行きますが・・・
まぁ慌ただしいです・・。
途中の海の中は非常に綺麗ですが・・大急ぎで洞窟に行かなければならないのですｗ
遅れようものなら容赦なく早く来いと叱られます。

洞窟に到着しても、大渋滞
満員電車のような状態です。
まぁそれは仕方ないんですが・・
とにかく急かされます

写真のポイントは出口の左側の一択
ここを各ツアー社ごとに順番に使用します
終わったら船の近くに戻り、少し魚と戯れて終わりです
でも海はきれいです
小さな魚の大群も多くいます
なかなかシュノーケリングでこの景色を見ることは出来ません。
そういう意味では一度は行って欲しいポイントです。

良かった点
・とにかく綺麗でした
・受付から解散まで無駄はありません
・ポイントが非常に近い

これから行く人の注意点
・駐車場がわかりにくいです、事前になんとなくシュミレーションして下さい。
・少しは泳げないと・・結構きついと思います
・SDカードは現地でも買えます（８GB　1000円）

Although it wasn't my first experience with introductory diving, I found the instructor's guidance and explanations to be insufficient, and I felt a lack of kindness, which was disappointing and unpleasant.

体験ダイビングは初めてではなかったのですがインストラクターの案内説明が不十分なのと、親切さを感じられず不愉快で残念でした。

I have been to Okinawa many times, but this was my first time at the Blue Cave. I was able to see Nemo and various fish while snorkeling, which was more than I expected. It would have been even better if we had a bit more time for snorkeling. Also, from the meeting point to the boat, we had to walk a bit under the blazing sun without any gear, and I wish they had at least allowed us to bring a bath towel on the boat. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

沖縄には何度も行きましたが、青の洞窟は初めてでした。思ったより、シュノーケリングで、ニモや色んな魚をみることができました。もう少しシュノーケリングの時間があればもっとよかったです。又、集合場所から、舟まで手ぶらで、炎天下の中、少し歩く必要がありましたが、せめてバスタオル位、舟に持参させてほしかったです。全体的には、満足な内容でした。

My first time in Okinawa and my first time snorkeling! From the parking lot guidance, everyone was very helpful and attentive.

Upon arrival, they quickly guided us, and after changing into wetsuits, we boarded the boat with others who were also there for the experience. I was a bit worried about getting seasick, but it was a short ride to the Blue Cave, and the waves were gentle with a refreshing breeze!

The moment we arrived at the Blue Cave and got off the boat was the scariest part for me, haha. At first, I couldn't move forward without holding onto the instructor's float, but I gradually got used to the water and was able to swim with fins!

There were a lot of people, but together with the instructor and my group, we headed into the Blue Cave! The beautiful blue color was so moving. The sea was incredibly clear, and when I looked down, I could see all the way to the bottom! The fish were also very close.

After taking some photos, we fed the fish near the boat and took more pictures. When we fed them, they came close, and it felt like a dream.

My first snorkeling experience truly became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

初めてのオキナワ、初めてのシュノーケリングでした！駐車場の案内から、とてもわかりやすく丁寧に皆さん対応してくださりました。
到着して、テキパキとご案内していただき、ウエットスーツに着替えて、体験をする人たちと一緒に船に乗りました。
酔ってしまわないか不安でしたが、船から青の洞窟まではすぐでしたし、波もあまりなく、風が気持ちきいなーというかんそうでした！
青の洞窟に到着して、船から降りる瞬間がいちばんこわかったです笑
はじめはインストラクターさんの浮き輪に掴まりながらでないとすすめなかったのですが、だんだん水に慣れてきて、足ヒレで泳げるようになりました！
人が多かったですが、インストラクターさんと、同じグループの方々と一緒に青の洞窟へ！
綺麗な青色にみえて、すごく感動しました。海もとても綺麗で、下を見ると、底まで透けて見える！
魚もすごく近かったです。
写真撮影してもらったあとは、船の近くで魚に餌をあげたり、写真を撮ったりしました。
餌をあげると近くに寄ってきて、夢のようなかんじがしました。
人生初のシュノーケリング、ほんとうにいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

We participated as a family this time. At first, I was wondering how my 5-year-old daughter (it was her first experience) would do, but as we prepared various equipment like wetsuits, she became cheerful! However, when the board started moving to the point, her mood gradually changed... When we arrived at the point and it was time to set off, she started to whine, saying, "I'm scared, I don't want to go," which was a bit troublesome. With the help of the instructor, we managed to convince her to start. Even when we entered the sea, she was still half-crying... But the instructor stayed with her one-on-one, and little by little, she got used to it. Perhaps she was moved by the world she saw underwater, as she quickly returned to being cheerful. After that, she started diving on her own and thoroughly enjoyed her first snorkeling experience. By the time we had to get back on the board, she was being a bit stubborn, saying, "I still want to do it, I don't want to get out..." The cave was very mystical, and I was impressed by the beautiful scenery. Each family has a dedicated instructor, so parents can take care of their children without missing out on the fun. This is a very reassuring plan that I absolutely recommend for families with children. I appreciate the instructor (I forgot to ask his name) for his clear explanations and kind, attentive support towards my daughter. Also, thank you for taking so many beautiful photos. I hope to participate in diving next time. Additionally, operating the GoPro is very easy. If I had to suggest something, I recommend bringing a micro SD card (4GB or more). (You can also purchase one at the shop...)

今回家族で参加しました。
最初５歳の娘（初体験）にはどうかな？と思っていましたがウエットスーツ等いろいろ装備品を準備していくにつれて、上機嫌！
と思いきや、ポイントまでボードが動き出したら、だんだん機嫌が・・・
ボードがポイントに着き、さあ出発！「こわい、行きたくない」とぐずりだし困りました。
インストラクターのお兄さんと一緒に説得しなんとか出発できました。
海に入っても半泣きのまま・・・
インストラクターのお兄さんが娘にマンツーマンで付いてくれて少しづつ慣れてきて、自分で海中を見た世界に感動したのかあっという間に上機嫌に戻りました。
それからはもう自分で何回も潜り初めてのシュノーケルを堪能してました。
おかげでボードに上がる時間になると「まだしたい、上がりたくない」とわがままを言い出す始末で・・・
洞窟内はとても神秘的でとても綺麗な景色に感動でした。
１ファミリーに１人インストラクターが専属でついてくれますので、お父さんお母さんが子どもの面倒を見て全く楽しめないということもありません。
とても安心で子ども連れのファミリーに絶対おすすめプランです。
インストラクターのお兄さん（名前伺うの忘れてしまいました）の娘に対するわかりやすい説明親切、丁寧な対応に感謝しております。また、きれいな写真もたくさん撮っていただきりありがとうございました。
次の機会ではダイビングで参加できればと思います。
あとＧoＰroの操作はとても簡単です。あえて言うならマイクロＳＤカード（４ＧＢ以上）を用意していくことをお勧めします。（ショップで購入もできますが・・・）

I participated with my three daughters, who are all 4 years old. Since a guide was assigned to our family, we were able to enjoy snorkeling together with peace of mind. Additionally, the facilities such as changing rooms and showers are well-equipped, so I think it would be nice to stop by while on the way with a rental car.

一番下は4歳の3人娘と参加しました
家族に1人案内の方が付いてくださるので、安心して全員でシュノーケリングできました
また、更衣室やシャワー室などの設備も充実していますので、レンタカーで移動途中とかに寄るのもいいかと思います

It was great to be able to visit various places from the morning at an affordable price! The bus guide's explanations were excellent, and I had a fun time in the bus without getting bored at all! I was able to learn a lot about Okinawa. I would love to request the same bus guide for my next sightseeing trip!

朝からいろんな場所を観光できてお値段もお手頃でとても良かったです！特にバスガイドさんの案内がとてもよく、全く飽きない車内で楽しい時間が過ごせました！沖縄のいろんなことを知ることができました。また、観光するさいは、同じバスガイドさんを指命したいぐらいです！

Tour was well organized.pick up at our hotel 5 minutes late, we were among the first person to get on the bus and could not choose our seat... We wanted to be seated at the front to prevent our baby girl to be sick during the trip.
Tour guide: she could not speak english but we managed to understand each other somehow

This time, because it was summer vacation, the cave was very crowded, and rather than feeling "beautiful!" it was more like treading water and waiting in line... In the end, it was great to be able to take a photo after waiting.

Previously, when I participated in the off-season, I was able to feel the wonder, so I think if you go, it would be more magical and you could appreciate the colors of the sea better when it's not crowded.

今回は夏休みということもあり洞窟の中はとても混んでおり、「きれい！」と感動するよりは立ち泳ぎで、順番待ちをしているという感じでした・・・。
最後は順番待ちのかいあり写真は撮れて良かったです。

以前、オフシーズンに参加した際は感動できたので、行くなら混んでない時の方が幻想的な海の色に感動出来ると思います。

On my first trip to Okinawa, I absolutely wanted to try marine activities, so I invited my university club members and made a reservation. Among my friends, there were some who weren't very comfortable with the ocean and felt anxious, but the staff were very kind and chatted with us, creating a relaxed atmosphere throughout our time there. The Okinawan dialect that the staff occasionally spoke was really cute. We were so excited about snorkeling that we arrived quite a bit earlier than our reservation time, but they let us take a shower to cool off, making the wait enjoyable. The day we participated was sunny, and even after showering, we dried off quickly, but it was nice to be able to listen to the instructions in the shade.

The Blue Cave was very popular and quite crowded, but while waiting, we had fun chatting with the entertaining staff member who accompanied us, and then... a truly breathtaking view unfolded before us! I strongly recommend experiencing this at least once in a lifetime.

初めての沖縄旅行では絶対にマリンアクティビティがしたい！と思い、大学時代のサークルメンバーを誘って申し込みました。友人の中には、海があまり得意ではなく不安な気持ちを抱えている者もいましたが、お店の皆さんが色々と優しく話しかけてくれたので、終始和んだ雰囲気で参加させて頂くことが出来ました。お店の方がたまに話す沖縄の方言？がとても可愛かったです。シュノーケリングをとても楽しみにしていた私たちは予約の時間よりもかなり早めについてしまいましたが、シャワーで水浴びさせてくれたりして、待ち時間も楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。参加させて頂いた日は晴天で、シャワーを頭から被ってもすぐに乾いてしまうくらいでしたが、日陰で説明が聞けるのも良かったです。
青の洞窟は大人気でかなり混雑していましたが、待ち時間の間も同行してくれたお店の面白いお姉さんと楽しく話しながら待っていると、、、そこには本当に感動の絶景が広がっていました！一生に一度はこの体験をされることを強くオススメしたいです。
