All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

This is a recommended tour for people who love Okinawa and for repeat visitors. This is my seventh visit to Okinawa (including the outer islands). This time, I stayed near Naha because I came to visit the Sefa Utaki.

I'm interested in the currently popular spiritual spots, and my family also enjoys trekking. That's when I discovered this course!
- My child wants to visit the Churaumi Aquarium again.
- I've previously stayed at JAL Okuma Resort, and I can confirm that it's a wonderful place to relax.
- The Oki Chinen Forest is said to be a spiritual spot where Okinawa began, known by everyone in Okinawa. I've never been there before and didn't know about it—I'm eager to go!
- Cape Hedo is also a place I wouldn't normally visit without this opportunity.

So, I made a quick decision. They take you from Naha, and for a full day, the tour includes a hotel buffet lunch, aquarium admission, and entry fee for Oki Chinen Forest. I believe the cost performance is definitely good when you add all these up. I was very satisfied with the experience.

There was no guide, but a polite and friendly attendant provided information through earphones before we reached each point. This allowed for a nice little pre-learning session. At each location, we were free to explore, so there was no issue of crowding. There was plenty of free time at each stop.

While there are many courses that only visit the aquarium, I couldn't find any other that included Oki Chinen Forest and the buffet at the JAL hotel. I highly recommend this tour for anyone staying in Naha!

沖縄が好きな人、リピーターの人にお勧めのツアーです。
7回目（離島含む）の沖縄。
今回は斎場御獄に行くために沖縄にきたため、那覇近郊に宿泊しました。

今回はいま話題のスピリチュアルスポットが気になる。そしてトレッキングも好きな我が家。
そんなときにこのコースを発見！
・美ら海水族館へは子供がまた行きたい。
・JALオクマリゾートは以前宿泊したことがあり、リラックスができて素敵なところというのは実際に見ていたので確実♪
・大石林山は、沖縄の人なら誰でも知っているという沖縄が始まったとされるスピリチュアルスポットだそう。いままで行ったことがない、知らなかったー。私が行きたい！！
・辺戸岬もこんな機会じゃないとなかなかいけない。

ということで、即決しました。那覇から連れていってくれて、丸1日、ホテルビュッフェランチも水族館の入場料、大石林山の入山料。これらを足していったらコストパフォーマンスがいいこと間違いなしだと思いました。
実際もとても大満足。
ガイドさんはいなく、各ポイントに着く前に丁寧で親切な添乗員さんがイヤホンで聞かせてくれます。これで事前プチ学習ばっちり。そして、それぞれのポイントでは自由に行動させてくれるのでぞろぞろ・・なんてことも全くありません。各滞在先での自由時間もたっぷりです。

水族館に行くだけのコースは多々ありますが、大石林山・JALホテルでのビュッフェが含まれているものは他には見当たりませんでした
那覇滞在のときは、ぜひ使っていただきたいツアーです＾＾

　

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 a very satisfying day.

From the bus window, I could see the ocean of the West Coast clearly, allowing for a relaxing view of the scenery. The interior of the bus was very cool and comfortable. Each person received an automatic audio guide, and we could listen to the sightseeing information through earphones. The Wi-Fi was a bit slow, so it would have been nice if we could browse the internet more smoothly.

The guide was very pleasant, smiling for photos and kindly responding to foreign guests. When I asked about how to get to the sightseeing spots the following day, they kindly provided information, which was very helpful.

First, we arrived at Cape Hedo. It was a sunny day, and we could see Yoronjima beautifully. When taking photos in front of the sign at Cape Hedo, I recommend capturing the object of the Yanbaru Kuina in the distance (the driver pointed this out).

At Oishi Forest, we enjoyed trekking while viewing uniquely shaped rocks. We took the Churaumi Observatory course and were able to return comfortably in about an hour. Since the sun was strong, hats and sunglasses are essential.

The buffet lunch at JAL Okuma Hotel felt a bit limited in variety, but everything, including Okinawa's local specialties, was delicious. The view from the hotel's private beach was very lovely.

The Churaumi Aquarium is located within the vast Ocean Expo Park, and the scenery overlooking the sea was wonderful. Above all, I was overwhelmed by the impressive sight of the whale sharks swimming in the giant tank. The stay time is two hours, so if you want to see the exhibits thoroughly, you might find it insufficient. We were mainly there to see the whale sharks, so it was enough for us. Additionally, since we moved quickly, we were able to catch the dolphin show as well.

It takes over two hours by car from Naha City to Cape Hedo, so it was very comfortable to tour the sightseeing spots while dozing off on the bus. Everyone else was participating with their families, and I think it's a program that people of all ages can enjoy throughout the day without any difficulty.

大満足の一日でした。

バスの窓からは、西海岸の海がよく見え、景色を見ながらのんびりできます。車内は大変涼しくて快適でした。自動音声ガイドは、1人1台配られ、イヤホンで観光案内を聞くことができます。
WI-FIは重めなので、もう少しサクサクとインターネットを見られると嬉しいです。

ガイドさんは、写真撮影に笑顔で応じてくださったり、外国からのお客さんにも丁寧に対応していたりと、好感がもてる方でした。翌日以降の観光地の行き方を質問した際も、親切に教えてくださり、とても助かりました。

まずは、辺戸岬へ到着。当日は晴天で、与論島が綺麗に見えました。辺戸岬の看板前で撮影する際には、遠くに見えるヤンバルクイナのオブジェを写真におさめるのがオススメです(運転手さんが教えてくださいました)。

大石林山では、珍しい形の岩を見ながら、トレッキングを楽しめます。私たちは、美ら海展望台コースで登りましたが、1時間ほどで余裕を持って戻ってくることができました。
日差しが強かったため、帽子やサングラスは必須です。

昼食のJALオクマホテルでのバイキングは、少し品数が少ない気もしましたが、沖縄の名産品をはじめ、どれも味は美味しかったです。
ホテルのプライベートビーチからの景色がとても素敵でした。

美ら海水族館は、広大な海洋博公園の中にあり、海を望む風景が素晴らしかったです。なにより、巨大水槽を泳ぐジンベイザメの迫力に、圧倒されました。
滞在時間は2時間なので、展示をしっかり見たい方は、時間が足りないかもしれません。私たちは、ジンベイザメ目当てだったので、十分でした。また、急ぎめに回ったので、イルカのショーも観ることができました。

那覇市内から辺戸岬までは車で2時間以上かかる長距離ですし、バスでうとうとしながら、観光地を巡ることができ、とても快適でした。
私たち以外はご家族で参加されていましたし、老若男女で無理なく一日中楽しめるプログラムだと思います。

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。

I participated in this tour in July. The waves were calm, and we were able to safely enter the Blue Cave. Since it was a three-day weekend, the cave was very crowded, but I had a great time seeing many different types of tropical fish. I definitely want to join again when I come back to Okinawa.

7月にこのツアーに参加しました。
波は穏やかで無事に青の洞窟に入ることができました。
3連休ということもあり、洞窟内はとても混雑していましたが、
たくさんの種類の熱帯魚を見ることが出来てとても楽しかったです。
また沖縄に来た時は是非参加したいと思いました。

The equipment was relatively new and good! Also, we were able to get close to the Blue Cave by boat, which made it very easy. I would like to use it again!

機材が比較的新しく良かったです！
また、ボートで青の洞窟近くまで向かえたので、非常に楽でした。また利用したいです！

I had a faint memory of traveling to Okinawa when I was little, but I was surprised to find that the impression of the city was completely different when I visited again as an adult. I expected a simple tropical world, but Naha turned out to be a well-developed international tourist city in a good way, with a diverse presence of people from China, South Korea, and the United States.

From Asahibashi Station on the monorail (Yui Rail), which runs through the center of Naha, a Jumbo Tours bus departs right in front of the Hilton Hotel. There are several pickup points, but the Hilton Hotel has a spacious waiting lobby, making it convenient to wait during the hot season.

The tour we joined happened to have good timing, as there was only one other customer, a woman from South Korea. It turned into a wonderfully comfortable bus trip with just three passengers on a large bus. However, even if there were many customers as usual, the wide seats would allow for a relaxed travel experience.

What I found very good about this tour was that the "travel time" was in a pleasant environment. The guide's explanations were limited to what was necessary, and the automatic audio guide (available in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English) played only important points. In other words, the actions from the operators towards us were kept to a minimum. This allowed us to truly enjoy the 1-2 hours of travel time in a relaxed manner. For those who want to enjoy a "thoroughly guided tour with a personal touch," it might feel a bit lacking, but for us, this aspect felt perfect.

The tour bus maintained that comfortable atmosphere and first stopped at the Igei Service Area for a break. This is a simple service area with a spacious view of the sea. From there, we headed north to Cape Hedo, located at the northernmost tip of Okinawa Island. It features a karst landscape, characterized by limestone rocks eroded by rain, and from the cliffs, the endless deep blue ocean stretches out.

After a five-minute drive, we arrived at Mount Oishi, which also features a karst landscape and is a lush tropical forest mountain. There is a gentle hiking course that can be completed in about 30 minutes.

The hiking course at Mount Oishi is said to be filled with "phytoncides," substances that have detoxifying effects derived from trees. Regardless of the scientific validity of this claim, it is undeniably true that it creates a liberating feeling that heals the mind and body. This hike was truly filled with beautiful natural scenery, and I felt like I could freely release my soul.

After the hike, we headed south to JAL Private Resort Okuma. We enjoyed a buffet-style lunch in a spacious restaurant with high ceilings located within the resort hotel. There were various dishes, from Okinawa soba to mimiga, making for a delightful and fulfilling meal.

After lunch, we headed to the Churaumi Aquarium located in central Okinawa. Upon entering the grand architectural style, we were greeted by dazzling tropical fish, sea turtles, rare deep-sea creatures, and the enormous whale shark. This aquarium is undoubtedly a famous spot with one of the largest tanks in the world. During our visit, it was just after the release of Disney's animated film "Finding Dory," so the sea turtles, clownfish, and surgeonfish featured in the movie were very popular among the children.

After the extraordinary experience at the aquarium, our final stop was the Okashi Goten, famous for its purple sweet potato tarts. It offers a wide range of classic and new Okinawan sweets, making it an ideal place to purchase souvenirs. While the prices are not particularly cheaper than other souvenir shops, buying here comes with perks like shopping bags and straps for the purple sweet potato tarts, making it a good deal. After leaving Okashi Goten, we returned to the original pickup location and disbanded.

In summary, this tour allowed us to comfortably spend travel time while hitting key points in a bus journey from ce

小さい頃に沖縄へ旅行へ来た記憶がうっすらありましたが、改めて大人になってから来てみると全く街の印象が違う事に驚きました。素朴な南国世界が広がっているかと思いきや、那覇は良い意味で整備された観光国際都市であり、中国、韓国、アメリカといった多彩な人たちが存在感を発揮していました。

そんな那覇の中心部を走るモノレール（ゆいレール）の旭橋駅から徒歩1分、ヒルトンホテルの前からジャンボツアーズのバスが出発します。ピックアップ地点は幾つか存在しますが、ヒルトンホテルは待合ロビーが広々としているので、暑い季節に待機する際に便利だと思います。

私たちが乗り込んだツアーはたまたまタイミングが良かったのか、他のお客さんは韓国女性の方が一人だけ。大型バスに贅沢にも三人の客だけが乗るという素晴らしく快適なバスの旅となりました。しかしもちろん、通常通りお客さんがたくさんいたとしても、座席の幅が広いので悠々と移動時間を過ごせるかと思います。

私が今回のツアーでとても良いと思ったのは、この「移動時間」が程よい環境だったという点です。ガイドさんの説明は必要なものだけ、自動音声ガイド（日本語・中国語・韓国語・英語対応）も重要なポイントを押さえての再生。つまり、運営側から私たちへのアクションが必要最低限なのです。これによって、私たちは1〜2時間かかる移動時間を本当にゆったり過ごせたという印象があります。「みっちりバスガイド付きの人情旅」を楽しみたいという方ですと少し物足りないかもしれませんが、私たちにとってはこのポイントが最高に感じました。

ツアーバスはその快適空間を維持したまま、まず伊芸サービスエリアで休憩。ここは素朴なサービスエリアで、海を見渡せる悠々とした場所になっています。そこから北上して向かうは、沖縄本島最北端に位置している辺戸岬。カルデア地形（石灰質の岩が雨などで浸食されて生じる奇峰奇岩の地形）が特徴的で、崖からは果てしない紺碧の大海原が広がります。続けて5分ほど移動して向かったのが大石林山。こちらもカルデア地形が特徴的な、鬱蒼とした南国の森の山です。30分程度で巡れる緩やかなハイキングコースが整備されています。

大石林山のハイキングコースは、巷で言われている「フィトンジット（樹木から生じる解毒効果のある物質）」なるものが充満しているそうです。その科学的な実証性の程度はさておき、とにかく心や体が癒されるような開放的な気分になる事は紛れもない事実です。このハイキングは本当に素晴らしい自然美に満ちていて、のびのびと魂を解放する事が出来たような気がします。

ハイキングを終えた後は、しばし南下をしてJALプライベートリゾートオクマへ向かいます。このリゾートホテルの敷地内にある天井の高い、実に広々としたレストランでブッフェスタイルの昼食を食べます。沖縄そばからミミガーまで様々な料理があり、こちらも楽しい充実した食事となりました。

そして、昼食を終えた後に向かうのが沖縄中部にある美ら海水族館です。豪壮な建築様式の中へ入ると、きらびやかな熱帯魚、ウミガメ、珍しい深海生物、巨大なジンベイザメなどが私たちを迎えてくれます。いうまでもなく、この水族館は世界最大級の大水槽を有する名所。圧倒的な魚たちの世界に自然の壮大さを感じました。私たちが入った時期はちょうどディズニー社のアニメ映画『ファインディング・ドリー』が公開されたところでしたので、作中に登場するウミガメやカクレクマノミ、ナンヨウハギなどが子供たちに大人気でした。

水族館の非日常体験が終わると、最後に立ち寄るのが紅芋タルトで有名な御菓子御殿です。沖縄らしい定番または新作のお菓子商品がずらっと網羅されており、お土産を購入するのに最適です。特別に別のお土産店より値段が安いというわけではありませんが、ここで購入するとショッピングバックや紅芋タルトのストラップなどが特典として貰えるのでお得だと思います。御菓子御殿を出た後は、もとのピックアップ場所へと戻って解散です。

以上のように、個人旅行では疲れやすい移動時間を快適に過ごしつつ、ポイントを押さえた沖縄の中部〜北部のバス旅が出来たという事で、大満足のツアーでした。沖縄に初めて来た、あるいは久しぶりに来たという方には最適なツアーだと、私は思います。

Considering our travel schedule, I was hoping to do some light snorkeling, and this two-hour session was perfect for us. After changing into wetsuits and receiving a basic explanation of snorkeling, we felt reassured as we headed to the spot. I was impressed that explanations were also provided in English for international guests, which is typical for a tourist destination.

Each staff member was assigned to a small group, taking photos for us, and the rental of underwater cameras was free, allowing us to take pictures freely. Since we planned to go to Kouri Island in the afternoon, we enjoyed chatting casually with the staff about places to eat along the way.

Above all, we had a wonderful time surrounded by the beautiful sea and the fish swimming by, making it feel like we were in an aquarium. The convenience of being able to take a shower right after coming out of the water is also one of the appealing aspects of this tour. The underwater camera rental was fantastic for me, and I'm still relishing the experience (laughs). Next time I visit, I would like to try diving as well. This trip has become so much better. Thank you very much.

旅行のスケジュール的にも、軽くシュノーケリング出来たらな~と思っていた所、こちらの２時間が私たちにはぴったりでした。ウェットスーツに着替え、シュノーケリングの基本的な説明もあり安心してスポットに向かう事もできました。 海外の方々には英語での説明もされており、さすが観光地だなという印象も受けました。

何人かに1人、スタッフの方が付いて下さり写真も撮っていただき、水中カメラのレンタルも無料という事で自由に写真を撮る事もできました。私たちは午後から古宇利島へ行く予定だったので、お昼ごはんは道中にこんなお店があるよ~などスタッフの方と気さくにおしゃべりも楽しむ事もできました。
何といっても、海の綺麗さと目の前を通り過ぎる魚にまるで水族館の中にでもいるような素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。 海から上がっても、すぐにシャワーを浴びれる手軽さもこのツアーの魅力の一つかなとも思います。 水中カメラのレンタルが私には最高で、終わった後もその余韻に浸ってます（笑） 次回、また訪れる時にはダイビングにも挑戦してみたいと思います。旅行もすごくよりよい物になりました。ありがとうございました。

After diving in the beautiful sea, I was looking for a way to experience the beautiful sky, and I found this monitor.

Maybe because it was early in the morning, we had the boat all to ourselves! What a luxury! ♪
We headed to the boat on a banana boat, which made it feel a bit like a bargain (laughs).
The only place we got wet was our butts and legs.

The conditions were perfect!
Once we got on the boat, we chatted with the experienced captain while heading out to sea—his explanations were thorough, which made me feel at ease.
The moment the parachute opened was exhilarating! ♪♪
And then, we were off into the sky!

*Please be careful with glasses and phones, as it's your responsibility if they fall.*

The sky! So beautiful! The sea is amazing!!!
As we were having fun, we ascended to about 30 meters.
That's quite a height.
The wind felt nice, and when a stronger gust came, it swayed a bit. That was fun too! ♪
I was reluctant to come down; it felt like we had the sky and sea all to ourselves.

After landing, the guys folding the parachute were impressive (laughs).

Afterward, we could borrow a shower and bath towels, so we felt refreshed.
It was the best detox!

The staff were kind, and we talked about asking Berry for other activities next time.

It was a lot of fun.
Thank you very much! ☆

綺麗な海に潜ったあとは、綺麗な空も体験したいと探していたら、このモニターを見つけました。

朝イチだったからか、二人で貸し切り！贅沢ー♪
船までバナナボートで向かうのでちょっとだけお得な気分(笑)
濡れるのはここだけ。お尻と足だけでした。

コンディションは最高！
船についてから、ベテラン感のある船長さんと雑談しつつ海へー！丁寧な説明を受けました。安心。
パラグライダーが広がる瞬間はテンション上がります♪♪
すぐ、空へ！

※眼鏡や携帯は落ちたら自己責任なので、ご注意を※

空！綺麗ー！海、すごーい！！！
とはしゃいでいると30mぐらいまで上空へ。
かなりの高さです。
風が気持ちよく、少し強い風がくると揺れます。それもまた楽しい♪
降りるのが名残惜しいぐらいで、空と海を二人締めした気分でした。

降りたあと、パラグライダー畳むお兄さんたちの手際も素晴らしい(笑)

終わったらシャワーもバスタオルも借りれて、スッキリサッパリです。
最高のデトックスでした！

お店の方たちも親切で、また他のアクティビティにも参加の際はベリーさんに頼もうか、と話して帰りました。

楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました☆

Since we were going to Okinawa, my companion and I talked about wanting to go snorkeling, and that's when we discovered the Blue Ocean's Blue Cave snorkeling tour! We made a reservation right away! I was worried about whether we would be able to snorkel since a typhoon had been approaching until the day before, but on the day of the activity, we were blessed with clear skies and no rain, so we were able to enjoy it safely! However, when I spoke with the staff, they mentioned that the tour had gone on as usual the day before! It seems that the Blue Cave snorkeling is not too affected by the weather.

We arrived at the cave after about a 5-minute boat ride! Each group of about ten people had a staff member with them, which made us feel safe entering the water! The moment we got into the sea, I was so moved by the incredible clarity of the water that I was left speechless! When we participated, it was just before noon on a Sunday, so it was very crowded, and we were stuck in a bit of a traffic jam inside the cave for about 30 minutes. However, during that time, the staff took photos for us, and we were able to take our time exploring the cave, making it a very meaningful experience!

We also had individual photos taken at the spot that appeared the bluest inside the cave! The pictures we got there are truly treasures for a lifetime! They were so beautiful and mystical, even more stunning than the images I had seen online! I definitely want everyone to experience it for themselves!

After exiting the cave, we returned to the boat. During the activity, we were lent an underwater camera, so we were able to take many wonderful underwater photos! The staff were very kind and attentive, which allowed us to participate with peace of mind throughout the experience!

We visited many other places during our trip to Okinawa, but the Blue Cave snorkeling was the most fun and left the most lasting memories! It was truly, truly amazing! Thank you so much!

せっかく沖縄に行くならシュノーケリングしたいねと連れと話していたところ、こちらのブルーオーシャンさんの青の洞窟のシュノーケルを発見！！すぐに予約させて頂きました！！！前日まで台風が来ていたので、無事にシュノーケリング出来るのか不安に思っていましたが、当日はなんとか雨も降らず晴天に恵まれ無事にアクティビティをする事が出来ました♪しかし、スタッフさんにお話を伺うと前日も通常通り行われていたとの事♪♪青の洞窟のシュノーケリングはあまり気候に左右されないんだそうです( ´ ▽ ` )♪船に乗って5分ほどで洞窟へ到着しました！！！10人程のグループに1人スタッフさんが付いてくださり、安心して海に入る事が出来ました！海に入った瞬間はあまりに綺麗な海の透明度に言葉を失う程感動しました！！！！！！私たちが参加した時は日曜日のお昼前という事もあってか、大混雑で洞窟の中では30分くらい渋滞していました。しかし、その時間もスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくださったり、洞窟の中をじっくり見る事が出来たりととても有意義な時間でした！♪そして、洞窟の中にある1番青く見えるスポットでペアごとに個人撮影をしてもらいました！！そこで撮って頂いた写真は本当に一生の宝物です！とっても綺麗で神秘的で、インターネットで見ていた画像よりも何倍も綺麗に感じました！是非みなさんにも実際に行って見てもらいたいです！！！
そして洞窟の外へ出て船に乗ってもどりました。アクティビティ中は水中カメラを貸して頂いていたので何枚も素敵な水中写真を撮る事が出来ました！スタッフさんもとても優しくて気配り上手でしたので終始安心して参加する事が出来ました！！
沖縄旅行では他にもたくさんのところへ行きましたが、青の洞窟シュノーケリングが1番楽しく、心に残る思い出になりました！！！本当に本当に最高でした！ありがとうございました(*^^*)

The whole family had our first snorkeling experience! The instructions were thorough, and we felt comfortable participating.

Since it was our first time, we didn't have the chance to film ourselves, so we had someone take photos and videos for us.

It was the day the rainy season ended, and the weather was great. We were able to see a beautiful ocean that exceeded our expectations. I thought the kids might be scared, but they were actively enjoying it instead. We got a lot of wonderful photos, making for great memories!

We want to go again! (*^^*)

家族全員、シュノーケル初体験！
丁寧に説明して頂き、安心して参加する事が出来ました。

初体験なので動画を撮る余裕がなかったので、デジカメ撮影と動画と同時に撮ってもらいました。

ちょうど梅雨明けの日で天気もよく、想像以上に綺麗な海を見る事ができました。
子ども達は怖がるかも…と思いきや、積極的に楽しんでいました。
素敵な写真もたくさん撮って頂き、いい記念になりました！

またいきたいです(*^^*)

A trip to Okinawa with my daughter!
We participated in a plan that gathered at 10 AM on June 27 (Monday).
A staff member from our group guided us from the boat to swim into the cave. There was an unusual traffic jam at that time, but we thought that if we didn't endure this, we wouldn't get to see the breathtaking views, so we floated and waited for 30 minutes.
It was worth the wait because the blue was so vibrant!!! It felt like it was glowing! I was amazed by the beauty and the natural phenomenon. The staff also took great photos for us.
After leaving the cave and before returning to the boat, they took pictures of us feeding the fish and floating in the sea.
We received a CD full of memories that we couldn't capture ourselves, and I think this price is quite a bargain.
Thank you for a fun and wonderful time.

娘と二人旅の沖縄旅！
６月27日（月）の10時集合のプランに参加しました。
1グループに１人のスタッフが、船から降りて泳いで洞窟に案内してくれました。この日この時間は、いつにない渋滞ができてました。でも、これを我慢しまいと、絶景には会えない訳だから、30分ぷかぷか浮かんで並びました。
でも並んだ甲斐あって、青い青い青い！！！青く光ってる感じ！きれいなのと自然現象に、びっくりでした。貴重な写真もスタッフがバッチリ撮ってくれます。
洞窟を出て、船に戻るまでの間は、お魚にエサをあげて戯れてる写真や海の忮から浮かんでる私たちを撮ってくれる。
自分たちでは、撮れない思い出がいっぱいのCDもついてて、この価格は、かなりお得だと思います。
楽しい、素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

I had always wanted to dive in the Blue Cave of Okinawa, so I participated with a friend this time. I actually wanted to try deep diving, but since I had to catch a flight that day, I chose snorkeling instead. After putting on a wetsuit, life jacket, and fins, we moved by boat to the cave's side, and from there, we swam into the cave. The water inside and around the cave was incredibly clear, and there were many fish I had never seen before, making me feel as if I were in an aquarium. The cave was dimly lit, which made me a bit anxious, but I felt reassured as the instructor guided us. When I looked underwater in the cave, light streamed in from outside, and the entire underwater scene sparkled in turquoise blue, which was very mystical. During the fish feeding experience, there were so many fish and they were so close that I felt a bit scared, but I think it was a great experience. The waves were somewhat high that day, so I got a little seasick, but it became a wonderful memory that I will never forget.

以前から沖縄の青の洞窟に潜ってみたいと思っていたので今回友人と参加させていただきました。本当は体験ダイビングで深くまで潜ってみたいと思っていたのですが、当日飛行機に乗らなければならなかったためシュノーケリングを選択しました。ウエットスーツとライフジャケットとフィンを装着後、洞窟の側までボートで移動し、そこからは泳いで洞窟の中へ入りました。洞窟内およびその近辺は海水が大変澄んでおり、見たことがないような魚もたくさんいて、まるで水族館にいるかのような気分でした。洞窟内は薄暗く少し不安もありましたが、インストラクターの方が誘導してくださるので安心できました。洞窟内で水中を覗いてみると、外からの光が射し込み、水中全体がターコイズブルーに輝いていてとても神秘的でした。また、魚の餌やり体験ではあまりにも魚の数が多いのと、距離が近いのとで怖くなったしまうほどでしたがいい経験ができたと思います。当日は波がやや高かったので、少し酔ってしまいましたが一生忘れられないいい思い出になりました。

If you're going to Okinawa, I wanted to experience some ocean activities, and I happened to see a monitor tour and signed up for it.

There were two of us participating, and one had zero experience with snorkeling, while the other (me) had only done it a little at a resort overseas, so I was honestly a bit anxious. However, the staff were very thorough in teaching us how to wear the gear, how to enter the water, and how to tread water, which was reassuring.

At first, I was still a bit unaccustomed, but gradually I started to enjoy it, and I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the blue cave. Feeding the fish was also an amazing experience!

Many beautiful fish came to us, more than I had imagined, and I was so captivated that I forgot my age (laughs). It felt like being inside an aquarium, and I realized this is an experience you can only have in the waters of Okinawa.

I also took pictures of the fish and my friend swimming with an underwater camera that was rented for us. I thought this was an experience I wouldn't usually have. It's a pity that I didn't get many good photos because my skills weren't great (laughs).

My friend was initially scared to enter the water, but by the end, she said, "I want to do it again." It seems like she had a lot of fun.

If I have the chance again, I would love to enjoy snorkeling in the waters of Okinawa! Thank you very much to the staff who supported this precious experience!!

沖縄に行くならば、海のアクティヴィティを体験したいと思っていたところ、モニターツアーをたまたま目にして申し込みました。
女性二人での参加で、しかも一人はシュノーケリングの経験がゼロ、もう一人（私）も海外のリゾート地で本当にちょろっとやったことがあるだけで、正直少し不安もありました。
ですが、スタッフさんがウエアや装着具の身に着け方、海に入るやり方、立ち泳ぎの仕方など、とても丁寧に教えてくださったので心強かったです。
最初はそれでもやはり少し不慣れでしたが、次第に楽しめるようになりましたし、青の洞窟の色の美しさも満喫できました。
お魚の餌付けもとても素晴らしい経験でした！
想像以上に綺麗な魚たちがたくさん寄ってきてくれて、思わず歳も忘れて夢中になるほどでした（笑）。
まるで水族館の中にいるみたいな光景で、これは沖縄の海でなければ体験できないなと感じました。
レンタルしてくださった水中カメラで、魚たちや泳いでる友達を撮影も。これもいつもはできない経験だなと思いました。
腕前がイマイチなので、良い写真が少なかったのだけが残念ですが（笑）。
友達は最初、海に入ることを怖がっていましたが、終わる頃には「またやりたい」と言うほどに。それだけ楽しかったようです。
また機会があれば、沖縄の海でシュノーケリングを楽しみたいと思います！
貴重な経験のサポートをしてくださったスタッフさん、どうもありがとうございました！！

The weather was a bit bad, so we couldn't do a beach entry. I'm glad we had made a reservation for a boat entry. It was reassuring to have one guide for each group. They took photos at various points, which became great memories. The color of the sea was beautiful as well.

少し天候が悪くビーチエントリーは出来ない日でした。
ボートエントリーで予約しておいて良かったです。
一組にガイドが1人付いてくれるので安心でした。
いろいろなポイントで写真も撮ってくれて記念になりました。
海の色も綺麗で良かったです。

I participated with a friend. On our way to the shop, we weren't sure about the location of the store and parking, so we called for directions. The response was very good, but I think it would be clearer if there was a sign with the shop's name in the parking lot.

After arriving at the shop, we filled out some forms, put our valuables in a locker, and handed over the SD card for the underwater camera before changing in the changing room. The changing room was a bit cramped, and it was already full of bags.

After changing, we waited a little and then moved towards the port as a group. We boarded the boat and set off for the Blue Cave! The view of the beautiful sea from the boat was fantastic! While on the boat, there was a detailed explanation of snorkeling, which I think would be reassuring for first-timers.

We arrived in front of the cave in about 5 to 10 minutes, split into several groups, and jumped into the water following the guide's instructions. I had snorkeled before, but I felt uneasy in the deeper areas, so I held onto the guide's float as we headed to the cave. It seemed there were a lot of people on the day we participated, as we bumped into others several times on the way to the cave, and it was quite crowded inside as well. Still, the color of the cave was just as I imagined, and I was moved! I was also glad to have some photos taken.

After exiting the cave, we received fish food and had a fish feeding time. This was unexpectedly fun and exciting! The greedy fish came towards the food in my hand. It's not often that so many fish come close while snorkeling, so it was amazing to see them up close! We were also given an underwater camera, which allowed us to take our own favorite photos. The guide found a clownfish (Nemo) and dove down to show us the spot, so we were able to see various fish.

The fun time passed quickly, and we then returned to the shop on the boat. The Blue Cave, which I had always wanted to visit, was just as great as I had hoped. The guide was really kind and a great person, which allowed me to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Everyone else was also very friendly and easy to talk to. This became the best memory of my trip to Okinawa! Thank you very much.

友人と二人で参加しました。店に向かう際、店と駐車場の場所がわからず、電話で教えてもらいました。その時の対応はとても良かったですが、駐車場にショップの名前の書かれた看板があるとわかりやすいと思いました。
ショップに到着後用紙の記入をし貴重品をロッカーに入れ、水中カメラに使うSDカードを預けて、その後更衣室で着替えを済ませました。更衣室は少々狭く、既に荷物がたくさんあるところにバッグを入れるような状態でした。
着替えを済ませ少々待機し、そこからみんなで港の方に移動しました。ボートに乗り込み青の洞窟へ出発！ボートからの綺麗な海の眺めも最高でした！ボートに乗ってる際に詳しくシュノーケルの説明もあり、初めての方でも安心だと思います。
5～10分程度で洞窟の前に到着し、いくつかのグループに別れて担当の方の指示で海の中に飛び込みました。シュノーケルはしたことありましたが、深いところだと不安だったので、担当の方の浮き輪につかまって洞窟まで向かいました。参加した日は人が多かったのか、何度も人にぶつかりながら洞窟まで行き、洞窟の中もかなり人がいっぱいいる状態でした。それでも洞窟の中は想像通りの青色で、感動しました！！写真も何枚か撮っていただけて良かったです。
その後洞窟を出て洞窟の前で魚の餌をもらい、魚の餌やりタイム。これが想像以上におもしろくて興奮しました！食いしん坊の魚が私の手の餌を目掛けて向かってきました。シュノーケルをしていてもこんなに魚が寄ってくることはないので、間近で魚を見れて最高でした！水中カメラも渡されて自分たちで好きな写真を撮れて良かったです。担当の方がクマノミ(ニモの魚)を見つけて潜って場所を教えて下さり、いろんな魚が見れて良かったです。
楽しい時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまい、その後ボートに乗りショップへ戻りました。ずーっと行きたかった青の洞窟は期待通り最高でした。そして担当して下さったお姉さんが本当に優しくて良い方だったので、安心してシュノーケルを楽しむことがでしました。他の方も皆さんとても話しやすく良い方ばかりでした。沖縄旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました！！ありがとうございました。

I participated with my elementary school daughter, but I was concerned that the snorkel she used was covered in mold, especially since it's the part you breathe through. My snorkel also had mold at the joint, but it was better than hers. Since it was my daughter's first experience with snorkeling, I hoped she wouldn't end up disliking it because of that.

The changing area was cramped, and the shower in the area I used didn't have hot water.

However, the women in charge were very nice, and the view of the Blue Cave was beautiful, so I appreciated that aspect.

That said, there were quite a few participants from China.

小学生の娘と参加しましたが、娘の使うシュノーケリングの管の部分がカビだらけで息を吸う部分なのに…と思いました。
私のもジョイント部分がカビだらけでしたが、娘のものよりはマシでした。
娘はシュノーケリング初体験だったので、これで嫌いにならなければいいなあと思いました。
着替えるところも狭くてシャワーは私の使ったところはお湯が出ませんでした。

でも、担当の女性の方々はとても良い方で青の洞窟も綺麗に見えたのでその点はよかったと思います。

それにしても中国の方の参加が多いですね…。

I have visited the Churaumi Aquarium several times on tours, but I'm glad I made it to Kunigami Village. The emotion I felt when I saw Yoron Island from Cape Hedo was incredible, and especially, the Great Stone Forest was magnificent. If I had a bit more time, I would have loved to walk the Giant Rocks and Stone Forest course. While circling the Rock of Rebirth three times, I wished to be born as a human again. The "Picasso" rock was particularly interesting, as it looked like the "Devil Rock" from certain angles! There were various fascinating rocks like the Elephant Parent and Child Rock and the Cat Rock, and the view of the ocean from the Churaumi Observatory was the best. I thought that if we had a little more time to explore the Great Stone Forest, we could have enjoyed the sightseeing even more. As a flower lover, I was thrilled to take photos of the papaya flowers, which I can't see on the main island of Kyushu.

At the Okichan Theater in the Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu Town, I was healed by the adorable dolphin show, laughing many times and returning to my childhood. Being here, both young and old felt like there wasn't enough time, and before I knew it, it was time to gather, leaving me with a sense of regret as I boarded the bus. The purple sweet potato tart at the snack shop was the best, and the fresh tart that can only be eaten here left a lasting memory of its delicious taste.

This time, we older travelers had a great time, so I think it would be wonderful if this tour plan could be promoted to more people. It would be good to have more visibility online to catch the attention of older travelers.

何度か美ら海水族館までツアーで来てましたが国頭村まで来て良かったです。辺戸岬から与論島を見た時の感動、特に大石林山は素晴らしくもう少し時間があれば１コ－スの巨岩-石林感動コ－スも歩きたかったですね。生まれ変わりの岩など３回回りながら次も人間に生まれたいと願いつつ楽しみ『ピカソ』岩は特に面白く見る方向で『悪魔岩』に！象の親子岩、猫岩等色々な面白い岩や美ら海展望台から見る海原は最高で大石林山周遊時間をもう少し増やしたら観光ももっと楽しめたかなと思い、九州本土では見れ無いパパイヤの花等花好きの私はルンルンで写真撮影。本部町の美ら海水族館のオキちゃん劇場では可愛いイルカショーに心癒され何度も大笑いし童心に帰りました。此処に居ると老いも若きも時間が足りないと駆け足でみて回りあっと言う間に集合時間となり後ろ髪引かれる思いでバスに乗り込むことに。立ち寄りのお菓子御殿での紫芋タルト此処でしか食べられない生タルトは最高に美味しく思い出に残る味でした。
今回私達年配者も充分楽しめましたので今回のツアープランを沢山の方々にももっとアピールされたら良いのではと思います。もっと年配者の目に止まるようにネットでもされたら良いでしょう。

I participated with three friends.
Everyone was excited since it was their first time snorkeling, but there was also some nervousness!
However, by the time we arrived at the Blue Cave, thanks to the staff member who chatted with us and kindly explained everything, we were just excited!
When we finally arrived at the cave, I started to feel a bit unwell, but the staff member calmly took care of me, so I felt reassured and quickly regained my energy!
The Blue Cave was a mystical world, so beautiful that it took my breath away.
The photos taken there are my absolute favorites!
After that, we went outside and enjoyed snorkeling! We fed the fish and got to know them, and the view, which was beautifully clear down to the bottom, made me feel like I was in a dream.
It became the most enjoyable memory of my trip to Okinawa!
I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Okinawa!
However, since you can't get there without a car from the city center, I thought it would be much easier to participate if there were shuttle services available!
Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful experience this time.

友達3人で参加しました。
みんな初めてのシュノーケリングなので楽しみ！ももちろんですが緊張もありました。。！
でも、スタッフのお姉さんが楽しく話しかけてくれたり優しく説明してくれたので、青の洞窟に着く頃には楽しみ！だけになっていました♡
いよいよ着いた洞窟前に少し気分が悪くなってしまったのですが、スタッフのお姉さんが冷静に対応してくれたので安心してすぐに元気になりました！！
青の洞窟は神秘的な世界でため息が出るほど綺麗でした。
ここで撮ってもらった写真がとってもとってもお気に入りです！
その後は外に出てシュノーケリングを楽しみました！お魚のエサをもらってお魚と仲良くなったり泳いだり、下まで綺麗に透き通って見える景色は夢の中にいる様な気分でした。。♡
沖縄旅行で一番楽しい思い出になりました！
次また沖縄に来た時にも絶対に参加したいです！
でも、都心部から来るのに車がないと来れないので送迎サービスなどがあればもっともっと参加しやすくなるなぁと思いました！
今回はとっても素敵な体験をさせていただいて、本当にありがとうございました。

We participated as a pair in mid-June. The conditions were fantastic, especially since it was just after the rainy season!

When we arrived at the meeting point at Manza Cape, we were greeted by a beautiful blue sky with not a cloud in sight, crystal-clear waters, intense sunlight that felt like it was piercing our skin, and a very enthusiastic instructor, Osaka-san.

This is truly THE OKINAWA!! Our excitement was already building before the tour even started!

After changing into our wetsuits and descending the stairs to enter the sea from the rocky area, Osaka-san exclaimed, "Woohoo!! It feels amazing when water gets into the wetsuit!!" He looked like he was having the most fun! With Osaka-san leading the way, we enjoyed snorkeling while heading towards the Blue Cave.

Thanks to the great conditions that day, the water was so clear that we could see deep into the coral, and we spotted quite a few large fish in the distance. Colorful tropical fish were swimming close to the surface, completely distracting us from the Blue Cave as we got lost in snorkeling! We played with many different types of fish and were already feeling satisfied even before reaching the Blue Cave. (Just between us, the underwater photos we received later had so many fish that our faces were barely visible! Haha!)

As for the Blue Cave itself, it was breathtaking! The cave was illuminated by a blue light from below, creating a stunning emerald blue view all around! It was truly impressive! The photos we received were beautiful, and we were very satisfied! They looked so good they could be featured in a magazine!

Overall, it was an incredibly satisfying tour! The scenery, the tour content, and instructor Osaka-san were all top-notch! I guarantee 100% value for money!

*As a side note, since our schedule was undecided, we were approached by Osaka-san and ended up trying out sea bob the next day, which he said is currently the most recommended marine sport. It's like a motorized boogie board that you can steer yourself, allowing you to dive and swim among the corals or chase schools of fish! (*^o^*) It's said to be a new marine sport with only a few units available in Japan, so I highly recommend it too!

6月中旬に2人で参加しました。梅雨明け直後という事もあってコンディションは抜群！
待ち合わせの場所の真栄田岬に到着すると雲ひとつない綺麗な青空、透明度MAXの美しい海、肌を突き刺すような強烈な日差し、そしてかなりテンション高めなインストラクターの大坂さんが迎えてくれます。

これこそまさにTHE・OKINAWA！！ツアー前からテンションが上がります！！

ウェットスーツに着替えて階段を降りた岩場から海に入ると、「フォー！！ウェットスーツに水入れると超気持ちいいですよー！！」と誰よりも楽しそうな大坂さん！笑
そんな大坂さんに案内され、シュノーケリングを楽しみつつ青の洞窟へと向かいます。
が、、、、当日のコンディションに恵まれたおかげか水中もかなり深くのサンゴまで透き通り、遠目ですが結構大きめのお魚さんもチラホラ。。。海面でも色鮮やかな柄の熱帯魚が引くほど寄ってきて、もう青の洞窟そっちのけでシュノーケリングに夢中！！
かなりたくさんの種類の魚と戯れ、青の洞窟に到着する前からもう満足度高めです。笑
(後ほどお送り頂いたシュノーケリングの水中写真では魚が多すぎて我々の顔がほとんど写っていなかったのはここだけの話！！笑)

肝心の青の洞窟ですが、海の下から青いライトで照らされているかのように洞窟の中が一面エメラルドブルーの絶景！！圧巻です！！
お送り頂いた写真もきれいで大満足！そのままま雑誌に載せられるんじゃないかというほど綺麗な出来栄え！笑

全体を通して大満足のツアーでした！
景色もツアー内容もインストラクターの大坂さんも最高！コスパ100%保証です！

※余談ですがスケジュールが未定だった我々は大坂さんにナンパされ、翌日に大坂さん曰く今1番のオススメマリンスポーツというシーボブに挑戦させて頂きました。
モーターのついたビート板のようなもので、自分で操縦して潜水しながらサンゴのあいだを泳いでみたり、魚の群れを追いかけてみたりなんて事も出来ちゃいます(*^o^*)
まだ日本に数台しかない新たなマリンスポーツとの事ですのでそちらもオススメですよ～！

I got a bit lost and ended up being late, but the staff called me and guided me to the location. Since I kept everyone waiting, I quickly prepared and decided to explain later.

I thought the underwater photos would be available for download on the site since it mentioned a photo gift, but I learned that an SD card is needed to receive the photos. If you don’t have one, you have to buy it for 1,000 yen, so I purchased one.

After returning home, I saw in the reviews that it mentioned needing an SD card. I have plenty at home, so I wish that had been noted on the site. However, it was very generous that there was only one camera for the group, and we could take unlimited photos!

After a short walk to the nearby fishing port and arriving at the boat, the staff provided a thorough explanation to us, who arrived late, and we quickly reached the entrance of the Blue Cave.

At first, we entered the cave as a group. Since there were many participants from other tour companies, it got a bit chaotic with fins bumping into each other while we moved forward. However, the staff explained the cave while we held onto the float and closed our eyes.

After a while, we opened our eyes to see a beautiful emerald green view.

After exiting the cave, we received some food and had a bit of free time before gathering again. During that time, the staff took photos for us and kindly pointed out where the fish were, which made me very satisfied.

Since everyone returns together, the changing room can get a bit messy, but they also lent us hair dryers if needed, which was sufficient.

I would like to participate again!

少し道に迷い時間を過ぎてしまうとスタッフさんから電話を頂き案内後、到着
皆さんを待たせてしまったので説明は後でという事で急ぎ準備しました。
水中写真プレゼントと書いてあったのでサイトでダウンロードするのかな？と思っていましたが写真を貰うにはSDカードが必要との事…
なければ1000円で買わないと写真は貰えないとの事で購入

帰ってから体験談を見たら書いてくれていましたがSDカードが必要なら家にたくさんあったのでサイトにもそう記載してほしかったです、、
ただ、カメラはグループで1つ、しかも自由に撮り放題はすごく良心的！

目の前の漁港まで少し歩き船に到着後、遅れて来た私達にしっかり説明して頂きあっという間に青の洞窟入り口に到着

初めはグループでついていって洞窟に入ります。
他のツアー会社からの参加者もたくさんいるので進んでいる間、他の方の足のヒレが当たったり、当てたりと少しゴチャゴチャしますが、
案内のスタッフさんに洞窟を説明してもらいながら浮き輪につかまり目をつむる

しばらくして開けるとエメラルドグリーンのとっても綺麗な景色が見えました

洞窟を抜けると餌を貰い少し自由行動して集合します
その間も写真を撮ってもらったり、魚の場所など教えてくれてとっても優しいスタッフさんには大満足

みんなで帰ってくるので更衣室はゴチャゴチャしちゃうのはありますが必要ならドライヤーも貸してくれたりと充分でした。

また参加したいと思います

My first snorkeling experience!
The weather was great and perfect for the beach! The Blue Cave was very beautiful, and it was fun to feed the fish and interact with them.
The guide was also very considerate of everyone, which was nice!
Next time, I definitely want to try diving as well.

初めてのシュノーケリング！
とてもいい天気で海日和！青の洞窟はとてもキレイで、魚に餌付けをして触れ合うこともでき楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも皆んなに気を使ってくれて良かったです！
次ばぜひダイビングも体験してみたいです。

Okinawa was unfortunately under rainy skies, but the sea was unaffected! On this day, there was no wind and the waves were calm. My niece and I set off with our guide, Mr. Osaka.

After changing, we walked down the stairs at the cliff and entered the sea from the rocky area below. After some instructions, we quickly began snorkeling towards the cave! Underwater, we could see not only fish but also people diving.

It was about 100 meters to the cave, but we chatted and took our time, making it there easily. We entered through a slightly narrow opening, and there were several groups around us. One by one, we went in, and with our eyes closed, we were pulled to the best position… and when we opened our eyes, the beautiful blue light spread out before us!

We happened to be the only ones in the cave at that moment, and we took many wonderful photos!

After playing for a while, we headed back from the cave. On the way, when we tried feeding the fish… they all came rushing in! Energetic fish swarmed around us, it was so much fun!

Thank you for a delightful and safe experience! I would love to bring my mother along next time.

沖縄は生憎の梅雨空でしたが、海は関係な〜い！
この日は風もなく波が穏やか。私と姪の二人でガイドの大坂さんと出発。

着替えた後崖下の階段を歩いて下り、すぐ下に続く岩場から海に入っていきます。インストラクションのあと、早速洞窟に向かってシュノーケリング開始！海中では魚以外にダイビングをしている人達も見えます。
洞窟までは100メートル程ですが、お話ししながらゆっくり進んでラクに到着。
少し狭まった入り口から入るのですが、周りには何組かのグループもいます。
順番に入っていき目をつぶったままベストポジションまで引っ張ってもらい…目を開けると！あの綺麗な光を放つブルーが目の前に広がります！
ここでたまたま洞窟内には私達だけになり、沢山の素敵な写真を撮っていただきました！

ひとしきり遊んだ後、洞窟を後に引き返します。途中でお魚達にエサをあげてみると…‼︎ みんなものすごく食いついてくる！元気な魚たちがドバーッと周りには群がり、楽しい〜＼(^o^)／

楽しくて安心な体験、有難うございました！
次回は母を連れてまた参加したいです。

This time, I participated with a foreign friend who speaks only basic Japanese, but all the staff, including the instructor, were very friendly and kind, and my friend was extremely satisfied. I definitely want to use this service again on my next trip to Okinawa and would like to recommend it to other foreigners as well.

今回日本語が片言レベルの外国人の友人を連れての参加でしたが、インストラクター含めスタッフの方はみなさんとっても愛想が良く親切で、友人も大変満足していました。是非次回沖縄旅行の際にも利用させて頂き、外国人にも紹介させて頂きたいと思います。

Parasailing Experience♡

My boyfriend and I traveled to Okinawa. It was my first time back in a while, and it was his first time in Okinawa and his first time trying marine sports. As someone who loves Okinawa, I wanted him to experience the beauty of the ocean from above, so I decided to book parasailing and a marine walk where we could see underwater. However, experiencing both at the same time was a bit pricey, so I searched online and found the site for VELTRA ( • ̀ω•́ )✧ I think we were able to experience it at a better price than anywhere else! By the way, the marine sports were provided by BERRY located in Nago City♡

We arrived in Okinawa on June 6 (Monday)! It was right in the middle of the rainy season, and of course, it was raining... My spirits were really low... When I made the reservation, they mentioned to call the day before for confirmation, so I called BERRY. They kindly explained everything we needed to know for the next day! They answered all my questions about the weather and more very politely, which left a great impression on me♡ Thank you, Suzuki-san ( ⸝⸝•ᴗ•⸝⸝ )

Then on June 7 (Tuesday), despite the rainy forecast for Okinawa, we were surprised by clear skies! Excited, we drove to Weed Beach! (There was also a free shuttle bus available if you didn't want to drive.) It was so beautiful! The ocean was incredibly clear! I couldn't believe it had rained heavily the day before! It was completely transparent with no murkiness at all! The sandy beach was white and beautiful♡ I saw various beaches in Nago City, but this one was possibly the most beautiful! After checking in, we received an explanation from a friendly staff member, who warned us that we would get sunburned in an instant! (laughs) So, we applied sunscreen inside the reception tent (there were changing rooms and restrooms inside). Wearing life jackets, we headed to the point with eight people, including us, on the boat. Once we arrived, the staff helped us with the belts, and off we went into the sky…♡

For first-timers, you might feel uneasy with just this belt, but it's surprisingly secure, and your body doesn't move. My boyfriend was a bit nervous too, but we went up into the air just like that (laughs). It was indeed beautiful. My boyfriend's anxiety about parasailing vanished, and he was just excitedly saying, "It's so beautiful!!!!!!!" (laughs). We etched the stunning scenery into our memories, creating wonderful memories. When we go to Okinawa again, we will definitely be back!

パラセーリング体験♡


彼と２人で沖縄旅行。私は久しぶりの沖縄。
彼は初めての沖縄、初めてのマリンスポーツでした。沖縄大好きな私は、彼にも沖縄の海の綺麗さを知ってもらいたくて、上から眺められるパラセーリングと、海の中が見えるマリンウォークを申し込む事にしました。
でも、２つを同時に体験するには、少しお値段が…って事でネットで調べまくって探し出したのがＶＥＬＴＲＡさんのサイトでした( • ̀ω•́ )✧何処よりもお安く体験出来たんじゃないかな？って思ってます♡
ちなみに、マリンスポーツをさせてくれたのは、名護市にあるＢＥＲＲＹさんでした♡

６月６日(月)沖縄到着！梅雨真っ只中で、やっぱり雨…テンションガタ落ち…
予約をした際に、前日に確認の電話をして下さい。との事でＢＥＲＲＹさんに、お電話。明日の確認事項をとても丁寧に教えてくださいました！天気の事など色々質問しても全て丁寧に答えて下さり、とっても好印象でした♡鈴木さん( ⸝⸝•ᴗ•⸝⸝ )
そして６月７日(火)梅雨の沖縄…勿論雨予報…だったのに、まさかの快晴！ワクワクしながら、自分達の車でウィードビーチへ！(自分達で行かなくても、無料送迎バスもありました )
めっちゃ綺麗！海が凄く綺麗！前日に大雨が降ったとは思えない！全く濁りがなくて本当に透明！砂浜も白くて綺麗♡名護市内の色んなビーチを見たけど１番綺麗だったかも！って位綺麗！♡受付を済ませたらフレンドリーな店員さんから説明を受け、一瞬で焦げますよ！と、お姉さんに脅されたので(笑)受付のテントの中で日焼け止めをヌリヌリ（中に入れば更衣室もトイレもありました）ライフジャケットを身に付けて、私達を含めた８人で船で、ポイントまで向かいました。ポイントに着きお兄さんにベルトを付けてもらって、いざ、空へ…♡
初めての人は、このベルトだけ？と不安がよぎると思いますが、意外にしっかり固定されてて身体は動きません。彼もビクビクしていました。が、そのまま空中へ(笑)
やっぱり綺麗。パラセーリング初体験の彼の不安も何処へやら…興奮して
『綺麗だねッッッッ！！！！！』しか言ってませんでした(笑)綺麗な景色を目に焼き付け、素敵な思い出になりました。また沖縄に行った際には、よろしくお願いします！

I experienced mangrove kayaking and sunset kayaking, and the sunset over the clouds in Okinawa was beyond words; it was absolutely amazing!

マングローブカヤック&サンセットカヤックを体験しましたが、沖縄での雲の上に落ちるサンセットは言葉になら無い位に
最高でした！

The instructor was very friendly and attentive. They took us to the Blue Cave at a slow pace that matched our ability, and provided a lot of explanations about the fish. Both my mother and I weren't very confident in our physical strength, but thanks to the instructor, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. They also took many photos for us, and the time flew by. Thank you very much.

インストラクターの方がとても気さくで、丁寧でした。私たちのペースに合わせゆっくり青の洞窟まで連れて行ってくれ、お魚の説明も沢山して下さいました。私も母も余り体力に自信がなかったのですが、インストラクターの方のおかげで安心して楽しむことができました。
写真も沢山とっていただき、あっという間の時間でした。ありがとうございました。
