All Reviews for 沖繩活動

My first trip to Okinawa.
On the first day of my arrival, I experienced this mangrove kayaking.

I wanted to kayak, see the mangroves, and catch the sunset! I participated with high expectations for these three major attractions.

First of all, I went by rental car, but I was unsure if I was at the right place as the signs were not very clear, and I felt anxious as I headed to the meeting point at the fishing port. However, they quickly recognized me by my rental car number and guided me through the procedures for filling out the waiver and changing clothes.
Regarding changing, there were two single-person triangular tents placed in a building surrounded on three sides, where both men and women could change. The restroom was unisex, which was a bit confusing.

Once all participants gathered, we received a brief instruction on how to hold the paddle and paddle from the shore, and then we boarded the kayak. It was a two-person boat. Since there were only two of us, it was not a problem, but for those in groups of three, they had to pair with someone else, so I think it's better to participate in even numbers.

First, we lightly paddled around the mangroves. The instructor was very friendly, but they mostly introduced their own background rather than sharing more about Okinawa, which I, as a traveler, wanted to know more about. Furthermore, the person in charge mentioned they had only been in Okinawa for a few months. When I asked for recommendations for places to eat after the activity or for sightseeing spots for the next day, the only response was that they weren't very familiar with Okinawa... Hmm.
Of course, I understand that guiding is not their main job, but still... I felt a sense of distrust. I strongly thought that there are many mangrove tours available, and I didn't need to choose this company. I was left feeling dissatisfied with both the cleanliness of the facilities and the content of the experience.

They did teach us how to paddle without getting tired just as we were about to return to the fishing port... The sunset was viewed from almost the same position as out at sea. I think it would be better to improve a bit more before holding the tour.

I was very disappointed given my high expectations.

初めての沖縄旅行。
到着初日にこのマングローブカヤックを体験いたしました。

カヤック乗りたい、マングローブも見たい、サンセットも見られる！
そんな３大魅力に期待を抱き参加いたしました。

まず初めに、レンタカーで行ったのですが看板がよくわからずここで良いのかな？と不安になりながら集合場所の漁港へ。
すぐにレンタカーナンバーで参加者だということに気付いてくださり、誓約書の記載や着替えなどの手順を教えてくださりました。
着替えに関しては、一人用の三角テントが３方を囲われた建物に２つ置いてあり、そこで男女ともに着替える感じでした。
お手洗いも、男女両用で少し戸惑いが隠せませんでした。

さて、参加者が全員そろい陸上でパドルの持ち方から漕ぎ方まで軽く指導していただき、早速乗船。２名一組の船でした。私たちは２人参加でしたので全く問題なかったのですが、３名組の方たちは一人違う方と組む形になるので偶数での参加が良いかなと思いました。

まず、マングローブをかなり軽く回ります。
インストラクターさんも気さくすぎるのか、インストラクターさんの出身地などのプロフィールばかり紹介していて、沖縄に旅行に来た身としては、興味のないインストラクターさんのことよりも沖縄に関してのことをもっと知りたいと思いました。
さらに、担当してくださった方は、沖縄に来てまだ数か月とのこと。
アクティビティーの後に、ご飯でも行きたいなとおすすめのごはん屋さんを聞いても
明日の観光におすすめの場所はあるかと聞いても、
沖縄には詳しくなくて・・・・の返答のみ。
うーーーーん。
もちろん、それをガイドしてくださるのが主な仕事ではないと分かっておりますが、
それでも・・・・という不信感。
これなら、たくさんあるマングローブのツアーをわざわざこの会社にしなくてもと強く思いました。それくらい、施設の清潔度に関しても内容に関しても不満感のみが残りました。

カヌーの疲れない漕ぎ方とかも帰りの道のりでもうすぐ漁港に帰るというタイミングで教えてくださったりとか。。。
サンセットは沖で見るのとほぼ同じ位置から。
なにか、もう少し改善をしてからツアー開催した方がよいのではないかと思います。

期待値が高かった分、非常に残念に思いました。

I participated in a tour that included clownfish spot diving and snorkeling at the Blue Cave. I had always wanted to try diving, but I was anxious about doing it overseas, so I decided on this tour that offered a beginner-friendly experience with proper support for both diving and snorkeling at the Blue Cave.

Before diving, the staff thoroughly explained how to use the equipment, tips for breathing, and addressed other concerns that beginners might have (like the causes of ear pain and how to relieve it, and what to do in case of panic), which made me feel secure about diving. I particularly remember the advice that when looking at the deep sea where the bottom is not visible, it’s easy for humans to feel anxious and panic, so it’s better not to look at the bottom. If you do panic, just look at the person next to you. This was a very impactful message, especially coming from experienced staff!

Once I actually dove in, it was a bit cold, but I was surprised by how many fish there were! The clownfish were so cute! The coral reef was so close! I was extremely excited! The Blue Cave also took us to a spot with beautiful light, and I was moved by the scenery there as well. I was able to see plenty of fish while snorkeling too!

The staff even showed me some tricks using bubbles underwater, which made me very satisfied! It was such a fun tour that made me want to dive again soon.

クマノミスポットダイビングと青の洞窟スポットシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました。
昔からダイビングに挑戦してみたかったのですが、海外での体験は不安・・・という事で、きちんとサポートしていただけそうな体験ダイビングと青の洞窟シュノーケリングがセットになっている本ツアーに決めました。
ダイビング前には事前にスタッフの方が器具の使い方、呼吸のコツ、その他初心者にとって不安な点（耳が痛くなる原因・解消のコツ、パニックになった場合など）も詳しく教えていただいたので、安心して潜る事ができました。特に、底が見えない深海部分を見ていると人間は不安になってパニックを起こしやすいから底は見ない、パニックになった場合は隣の人を見ましょう、という話がすごく印象に残りました。慣れてるスタッフさんだからこそ伝えられる言葉ですね♪
実際潜ってみたら、少し寒かったですが魚がいっぱいでびっくり！クマノミかわいい！サンゴ礁が近い！と大興奮でした！！
青の洞窟も光がとても綺麗な場所に連れて行ってもらい、そこでの景色にもまた感動しました。シュノーケリングでも魚はいっぱい見れましたよ〜♪
お兄さんに水中で気泡を使った技も見せていただき大満足！
またすぐ潜りたいな〜と思えた、すごく楽しいツアーでした。

Since I was staying in Okinawa City, I drove there and parked in the office's parking lot. After arriving, I filled out my personal information. I changed into my wetsuit and had some waiting time until the boat's departure. The office was well-equipped with sunscreen, hair dryers, cotton swabs, and the service was good. During the waiting time, they took us to the sea. Since I was in the same group as some Koreans, we had fun chatting while we waited. The snorkeling gear was distributed by the instructor, and we were dropped off near the Blue Cave by boat. The instructor pulled something like a kickboard, and we snorkeled while holding onto it. The weather was nice, and the inside of the Blue Cave was very beautiful, which made me very satisfied. We were also able to feed the fish. I think those participating in this tour should consider purchasing a waterproof camera in advance. The instructor was kind, and I had such a good experience that I would be happy to join the same tour again.

沖縄市に滞在していたので車で向かいました。車は事務所の駐車場に停めました。到着後、個人情報を記載しました。ウェットスーツに着替え、船の出港時間まで待ち時間が有りました。事務所には日焼け止めやドライヤー、綿棒なども完備されていてサービスは良かったです。待ち時間の間は海へ連れて行ってくれました。韓国人と同じグループだったので楽しく会話しながら待ちました。シュノーケリングの道具一式がインストラクターの方から配布され、船で青の洞窟付近で降ろされます。ビート板のようなものをインストラクターの方が引いて、それにつかまりながらシュノーケリングをしました。天候がよく海の中、青の洞窟内部はとてもきれいで大満足でした。魚にえさをやることもできました。このツアーに参加される方は防水カメラをあらかじめ購入してから参加してもよいと思います。インストラクターの方も優しく、また同じツアーに参加してもいいと思えるほど、良い体験ができました。

I made a reservation so my mother, who can't swim, could see the underwater world. Unfortunately, the conditions weren't very good due to the weather, but it seems my mother was satisfied. She was very excited when fish gathered nearby! The visibility was 2 this time, but I want to try again next time!

泳げない母親に海の中を見てもらいたく予約しました。残念ながら天候の影響であまり良い状態ではありませんでしたが母親は満足してくれたみたいです。近くに魚が集まってきた時は大興奮でした！今回は透明度が2でしたが次回またリベンジしたいと思います！

I had a scuba diving experience on the Adventure Island tour! Despite being late due to last-minute rental car issues, they were very kind and accommodating. I also found it convenient that we could take a bus from near Kokusai Street.

Before diving, we received an explanation on the boat, and then we practiced putting on the tank and submerging our faces in the water. At first, I was anxious because I couldn't breathe properly, but thanks to the clear advice I received, I quickly grasped the technique and was able to breathe comfortably underwater. I felt secure because the guide was there to lead me! Once we were in the ocean, I was surprised to see so many fish! When we went a little deeper, I was moved by the beautiful coral reefs!

The fish and coral were colorful and diverse, so I was constantly looking around. The guide took many photos of us at various points! Not only did we enjoy the scenery, but I was also entertained by the guide's bubble tricks underwater.

Finally, we were taken to a spot with beautiful light in the blue cave, and I was once again moved by the scenery there. The time spent diving was so enjoyable that it felt like it flew by. This is definitely a tour I would love to use again the next time I visit Okinawa!

冒険島のツアーでスキューバダイビングの体験をしました！当日は急遽レンタカーの都合で遅刻してしまったにも関わらず、とても親切に対応していただきました。国際通り近くからバスで行けるのも便利だと思いました。
スキューバをやる前に初めに船で説明を受け次にボンベを背負って海で顔をつけて潜る練習をしました。初めは呼吸が上手く出来ず不安でしたが、分かりやすくアドバイスをしていただいたおかげですぐにコツを掴み、水中で楽に呼吸ができるようになりました。潜るのはお兄さんに誘導してもらったので安心！そして海の中に入ったらまず魚がいっぱいでビックリ！そしてもう少し奥まで連れて行ってもらうとサンゴ礁がすごく綺麗で感動しました！
魚もサンゴ礁も、色とりどりでいろんな種類の景色が見られるので常にキョロキョロ。ツアーを担当してもらったお兄さんにいろんなポイントで写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました！景色だけでなくお兄さんの水中での気泡を使った技も見せていただきとても楽しませてもらいました。
最後に青の洞窟の光がとても綺麗な場所に連れて行ってもらい、そこでの景色にもまた感動しました。潜っている時間は、とても楽しくてあっという間に感じました。次に沖縄に行く時もぜひ利用させていただきたいツアーです！

The Churaumi Aquarium bus tour and three other spots is a great value. Such a low price for an all day tour. You get lunch, a small bowl of Okinawa Soba, at the Butterfly Garden, the aquarium, pineapple park, and the glass factor. We were a group of six, and at the aquarium, five of us got lost. I followed the guide (I understand Japanese) but the others (all Chinese) failed to follow. When I went back to where I last saw them, they were gone! The guide was very helpful. She helped me look for them and found three (including my husband), but the other two were still missing. She went back to the bus and found the other two, brought them back to us. Reunited! The dolphin show was very entertaining but I was eager to see the whale sharks at the aquarium. They had three whale sharks and my husband took some great photos. The other exhibits were hard to see, so many people! Chinese tourists everywhere! We spent three hours at the aquarium and then it was back to the bus. Next stop, Pineapple park, sampled different juices and baked goods. Final stop, Ryukyu glass factory. The pieces are very pretty but pricey so we spent the short time there eating purple potato ice cream, very good, you have to try it when you come to Okinawa.
It took another two hours to get back to Naha and we asked to be dropped off at Kokusaidori. Since we're all in the service industry, and because she was so helpful, we tipped the guide. There were only two things I didn't like about this tour. First, it took 15 minutes for us to walk from our hotel (Rihga Royal Gran) to the pick up hotel (Loisir). 2nd, lunch was too smal. We all could've eaten two bowls of noodles. We were all so hungry, we had the buffet dinner on the top floor of the Ryubo department store! Still, we had a good time!

The highlight of our trip to Okinawa, for both my friend and me, was this activity! It was so beautiful that we felt like, "Is there really a world like this?" I was a bit worried it would be crowded during Golden Week, but thanks to the guidance from the staff, we were able to fully enjoy both the Blue Cave and snorkeling. The staff, including our guide, were very friendly and kind, and I would love to use their services again!

今回の沖縄の旅で友人、私共々一番の思い出がこのアクティビティです★もう綺麗すぎてこんな世界ってあるんだー！って感じでした★
GWで混んでいるかなーと不安でしたが、担当の方がうまく誘導してくれたおかげで青の洞窟もシュノーケリングもしっかり楽しめました(^o^)／~~
担当方含め、お店のスタッフの方もとても感じがよく親切で、また利用したいです★

I saw landscapes I've never seen before, so it was enjoyable. I also got to eat until I was full, and it was delicious.

他に見たことがない風景を見ましたので、楽しかったです。ご飯もお腹いっぱいまで食べさせてもらい、美味しかったです。

This time, I boarded a boat to show my 2-year-old son the beautiful fish living in the waters of Okinawa. From other people's experiences, I learned that the water clarity is better when the day before was sunny, so we hurriedly boarded on the day we arrived in Okinawa. Unfortunately, perhaps due to the strong winds, the water clarity wasn't as great as I had hoped, but the crew of the Orca boat kindly fed the fish near the boat, allowing us to closely observe the tropical fish.

Although some rocking was expected, it wasn't enough to cause seasickness, and we enjoyed a pleasant cruise with a nice breeze, which made my 2-year-old son very happy. He was excitedly holding onto the Orca boat magnet we received, even after disembarking (laughs).

It's quite challenging to encounter the perfect day for a tour that is affected by the weather, but I believe it was a valuable experience that both adults and children can enjoy. Next time, I definitely want to take a plan that includes lunch on a nice weather day to fully enjoy Okinawa.

今回は、2歳の息子に綺麗な沖縄の海底に住むお魚を見せたく乗船しました。
他の方の体験談から、前日が快晴であった方が、海水の透明度がよいとの事だったので、バタバタしましたが、沖縄到着日に慌てて乗船。
残念ながら、風が強かった為か、海の透明度は凄くいいとは言えませんでしたが、オルカ号の船員さんが船の傍に撒餌をして下さり、南国のお魚達を間近でじっくり鑑賞する事が出来ました。
揺れも予想されていましたが、船酔いするほどではなく、心地よい風を感じるクルーズで、2歳の息子も大喜び。戴いたオルカ号のマグネットを握りしめながら、下船後も興奮してはしゃいでました（笑）
こういった、お天気に左右されるツアーで、最高に良い日に巡り合うのは、なかなか難しいですが、貴重な体験が出来、大人も子供も楽しめるプランだと思います。
今度は是非、お天気の良い日に、ランチ券付きのプランでゆったりと沖縄を満喫したいと思います。

This was my second visit to the Blue Cave! It was right in the middle of Golden Week. The last time I went was around mid-May, so there were a lot of people then. I chose the 12:30 tour, so we were able to arrive relatively leisurely. When we got there, we entered a place that looked like an office, and it was clean inside. They had hair dryers, lotion, sunscreen, hair ties, and tissues available for women, making it possible to do makeup after coming out of the sea. This was very nice for women.

Towels were available for a fee, and it seemed like underwater cameras and videos were also available for rent. There were two booths for showers and changing. It got a bit crowded with people heading to the sea and those coming out. There was a line, so it might be better to line up early.

After changing into wetsuits, a staff member came to pick us up, and we drove a short distance to the sea. Once we arrived, they lent us snorkeling gear. About half of the participants were Asian, and we boarded a boat with around 20 people. The instructors were very kind and experienced, which made me feel at ease for my first snorkeling experience in a while.

When I entered the water, I was surprised at how cold it still was. It seems that people in Okinawa don’t usually go into the sea at this time of year. When I bravely put my face in the water, I found it surprisingly deep. The coral reefs spread out, and there were many fish swimming around, which was breathtaking.

Entering the Blue Cave, the beautiful blue color was just as stunning as I remembered. I thought I could come here again and again. In the deeper areas, there were people experiencing diving and seeing fish up close. I want to try diving next time.

The cave was quite crowded, and we lined up to wait for our turn at the scenic point. It was so beautiful that I could wait as long as needed. The instructors also shared various information about the sea and Okinawa, making the wait enjoyable.

The children around us seemed to be enjoying snorkeling without any difficulty. Finally, we reached the much-anticipated scenic point. It was indeed beautiful, just like every other time.

As we went deeper into the cave, the height reached about 30 meters, with light streaming in. After leaving the cave, we fed the fish. I was able to see the fish up close, much closer than I had imagined. They gathered around us, which was also fun.

It was a very satisfying snorkeling experience at the Blue Cave! Next time, it might be nice to go in the fall when it’s not crowded, or in winter when the water is beautiful.

今回2度目の青の洞窟！
ゴールデンウィーク真っ盛り。
前回は5月の中旬ごろに行ったので、人が多かったですね。
12時30分の回にしたので、比較的にゆっくり現地に迎えました。着いたら、事務所のようなところに入ると中は綺麗で、女性用にドライヤー、化粧水と、日焼け止め、髪ゴム、ティッシュなどが用意されており、海からあがってから化粧も出来るようになっていました。女性にとって大変嬉しいです。
タオルは有料、水中カメラ、ビデオも有料で貸し出しがあるようです。
シャワー兼更衣室のブースは２つありました。今から海に向かう人と、海から出た人で若干混み合います。列が出来ていました。早めに並んだ方がいいかもしれません。
ウエットスーツに着替え、しばらくするとスタッフの方が迎えにこられ、車で少し離れた海まで行きます。
海に着いたら、シュノーケル器具を貸してくれます。
周りはアジア系の方が半分くらい、20人くらいの参加者と一緒にボートに乗り込みました。
インストラクターの方はとても親切で慣れた方々です。安心して久々のシュノーケルに臨めました。
海に入ると、まだまだ冷たくてびっくりしました。沖縄の方はまだこの時期には海には寒くて入らないようです。頑張って海に顔をつけると、意外と深いです。サンゴ礁が広がり魚も沢山泳いでいて感動します。
青の洞窟に入ると、やはり綺麗なブルー。何回来てもいいなあと思います。水深深いところではダイビングを体験している方々が魚を間近で見ていらっしゃいました。今度はダイビングにも挑戦したいと思いました。
とっても混雑している洞窟でした。笑
絶景ポイントまで列に並んで順番を待ちました。綺麗なので、いくらでも待てます。インストラクターの方も海のことや沖縄のことをいろいろとお話してくださるので待っている間も楽しかったです。
周りにいたこども達も無理なく、シュノーケルを満喫している様子でした。
お待ちかねの絶景ポイント。
やはり何回来ても綺麗です。
洞窟の奥にも行くと洞窟の高さは30メートルくらいまでになります。光が差し込んでいます。
洞窟を後にしたあとは、魚に餌をあげました。想像以上に近くまで魚を見ることができます。沢山寄ってきます。これも楽しいです。
大満足な青の洞窟シュノーケルでした！今度は混んでいない秋頃、海の中が綺麗な冬もいいかもしれません。

Had a great time on this bus tour however really wish we could have spent more time at each stop. I felt too rushed and couldn't enjoy the places as much as I would have liked. Definitely worth the price and will recommend to friends and family! A chunk of the trip was picking up and dropping off people to their hotels so the bus ride was very long but it was really convenient for us. Also you get free little gifts. We got a piece from the glass house and pineapple ice cream!

During my trip to Okinawa, I also participated in this dinner cruise. The atmosphere on the ship was nice, and the staff were very accommodating. Since my birthday was approaching, I even received a gift. The rib steak was a bit tough, though.

沖縄旅行中、このディナークルーズにも参加しました。
船内は雰囲気がよく、スタッフの方たちの対応もよかったです。
誕生日も近かったこともあり、プレゼントももらえました。
リブステーキは少し固かったかな。

During the day, we played a lot at the beach and participated in the sunset sea kayaking in the evening. The water clarity was outstanding, and we were able to kayak while seeing many fish. However, the weather wasn't great, so it was disappointing that we couldn't see the sunset. I paddled while thinking that if it had been sunny, the sun would have set around there. There were two teams participating that day, but we didn't request the instructor to take photos (they take various pictures and burn them onto a CD at the end, which was about 2000 yen). Instead, we took photos with our own digital camera, while the other team seemed to have requested the photos and had various shots taken. During that time, our team was left to ourselves. There were some waves, so we joked, "If we just sit here, we'll get seasick," while paddling. Well, that's one of the memories too.

日中はビーチでたくさん遊んで、夕方からのサンセットシーカヤックに参加しました。とにかく透明度が抜群で、魚をたくさん見ながらカヤックをすることができました。でも天気がいまいちでサンセットを見れなかったのでそこは残念でした。晴れてればあの辺に太陽が沈むのね・・と感じながら漕ぎました。当日は２チームでの参加だったのですが、私たちはインストラクタがー撮影してくれる写真（いろいろなところを撮影してくれて最後にＣＤに焼いてくれるもの。2000円ぐらいだったかな）はお願いせず、自分の持っているデジカメで撮影、もう１チームの方は撮影をお願いしていたようで、いろいろと撮ってもらっていました。その間は私たちのチームは放置プレイ。少し波があったので「このままぼーっとしてたら酔っちゃうね」といいながら漕いでみたり。ま、それも思い出の一つですね。

It was a 3-night, 4-day trip during the first half of Golden Week. I was late in making the reservation for a rental car, and it was already impossible to rent one anywhere, but I found this tour and everyone in the family had a great time without a car! 😊

GW前半で3泊4日の旅行でした。レンタカーの予約手配がおそくなり、もうどこも借りられない状態でしたが、こちらのツアーを見つけて、車なしで家族全員が楽しめました＼(^o^)／

First, we headed to the office at the meeting point. Upon arrival, we filled out a form with our height and other information. After that, they brought us a wetsuit that fit, and we changed in the changing room before storing our belongings in a coin locker. Then, we were taken by car to the beach, which was about a 5-minute drive from the office. The office has a changing room combined with a shower room, so we changed there. There is a parking lot in front of the office, but it's not for visitors, so be careful. The visitor parking is about 100 meters ahead. By the way, the office is equipped with sunscreen, hair dryers, cotton swabs, and other amenities, which is a nice service for women.

After departing from the office and arriving at the beach, we were quickly taken by boat to the area near the Blue Cave. On the boat, snorkeling gear was distributed by the instructor. Our tour had about 12 participants, with around 4 instructors. There were various people participating, including couples and families.

Once we arrived near the cave, we immediately jumped into the water! There were many colorful fish in the sea, making snorkeling very rewarding! We could also feed the fish along the way. Among the fish, there was the famous clownfish! (The fish that appears in Finding Nemo.) There were many fish of all sizes. When we fed them, a large number of fish came swimming towards us!

At first, I felt a bit scared, but once I got used to it, they were so cute and soothing. The distance from where we arrived by boat to the cave was a bit far, so we swam while being guided by the instructors. Even those who are not confident in swimming will be well guided by the instructors, and wearing a life jacket makes it completely safe! For those who are really scared of swimming, the instructors pull a large float, and if you hold onto that, they will take you to the cave.

When we arrived at the cave, a beautiful blue view spread out before us! I had heard rumors about how beautiful the Blue Cave was, but I never expected it to be this stunning. We didn’t have a waterproof camera, so we couldn’t take photos, but I think it would be good for those participating in this tour to purchase a waterproof camera in advance.

Since it was during Golden Week, there were quite a few tourists, which was a slight downside, but I was constantly amazed by the beautiful cave and the fish! The sea in Okinawa is truly beautiful! The shuttle car to the beach was also clean and very comfortable.

The instructors were always considerate of us participants, and I strongly felt that they prioritized safety. Additionally, we were about 15 minutes late due to traffic for the meeting time of the tour, but when I called to inform them, they kindly responded, "Please be careful on your way." I am very grateful for the kindness of the instructors. It was a very enjoyable tour!

まずは、集合場所の事務所に向かいました。到着したら、まずは身長などの情報をいただいた紙に記載します。そのあとに自分に合ったウェットスーツを持ってきてもらい、更衣室で着替えて荷物をコインロッカーに預けて事務所から車で5分ほど先の海へ連れて行ってくれます。事務所には更衣室とシャワー室が一緒になったものがあるので、そこで着替えます。駐車場が事務所の前にありますが、そこは来客用の駐車場ではないので要注意です。来客用の駐車場は100メートルほど先の所にあります。ちなみに事務所には日焼け止めやドライヤー、綿棒なども完備されてます♪女性にはありがたいサービスです。
事務所を出発して、海辺に到着したら、早速青の洞窟付近まで船で連れて行ってくれます。
船の中で、シュノーケリングの道具一式がインストラクターの方から配布されます。私たちのツアーは、参加者12人ほどに対して、インストラクターの方が4名ほどでした。カップルや友達家族など様々な方が参加されていました。
洞窟付近に到着したら、さっそく海の中へ・・！海の中には色鮮やかなお魚が沢山いてシュノーケリングのし甲斐がありました！途中でお魚達に餌をあげることもできます。お魚の中にはあの有名なカクレクマノミもいました！（ニモに登場するお魚です。）小さなお魚から大きなお魚まで沢山のお魚がいました。餌をあげると大量のお魚達がよってきます♪
最初は恐怖感もありましたが、なれるととっても可愛くて癒されます。
船で到着した場所から洞窟までは少し距離があるのでそこまでインストラクターの方に誘導していただきながら、泳いでいきます。泳ぎに自信がない方も、しっかりとインストラクターの方が誘導してくれますし、ライフジャケットを着用しているので全く問題ないです！どうしても泳ぐのが怖い人はインストラクターの方が大きなビート版のようなものを引いて下さるので、それにつかまっていれば洞窟まで連れていいてくれます。
洞窟に到着すると、一面に綺麗なブルーの景色が広がっていました♪前々から青の洞窟が綺麗だという噂は聞いていましたがまさかこんなにきれいだとは思いませんでした。私たちは、防水カメラを持っていなかったので写真は撮れませんでしたが、このツアーに参加される方は防水カメラをあらかじめ購入してから参加してもよいと思います。
ＧＷということもあり観光客の方が他にも沢山いたのは少しマイナスポイントでしたが、とにかく綺麗な洞窟とお魚には終始感動しっ放しでした！やっぱり、沖縄の海は格段に美しいです！海までの送迎車も清潔感がありとても心地よかったです。
インストラクターの方々も常に参加者の私たちを気遣ってくださり、安全に配慮されていることを強く感じました。また、実はこの日のツアーの集合時間に私たちは15分ほど渋滞のために遅れてしまったのですが、電話で遅刻の旨を伝えると、「お気をつけていらっしゃってくださいね。」ととても親切な対応をしていただきました。インストラクターの方の優しさにはとても感謝しています。とても楽しいツアーでした！

I was worried because I had a small child with me, but the instructor was kind and the explanations were easy to understand, so I was able to enjoy snorkeling without any concerns! I think the climax of the scenery will remain in my child's memory! It was really fun! Thank you very much!

小さい子どもがいたので心配してましたがインストラクターも親切で説明が分かりやすく心配も何のそのでシュノーケリングタノシメました！
あのクライマックスの景色は子供の記憶にも残ると想います！本当に楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

Encountered a mother and baby whale. The captain can tell how fast they dive underwater! The boat runs parallel to the whale, and when it dives and comes up again, it often appears very close to the boat. Of course, being a professional, that's to be expected, but I was thrilled to spend quite a long time with the mother and baby whale, sometimes as close as 20 to 30 meters from the boat.

The catamaran was sturdy against the waves, but it rocked quite a bit until we got closer to the Kerama Islands. According to my partner, nearly half of the passengers were using bags for motion sickness. The only ones left on the upper deck, cheering, were middle-aged men. I, who felt no motion sickness at all, had an emotional whale watching experience.

親子のクジラに遭遇。
水中に潜っているスピードが船長さんはわかるんですねぇ！
クジラと並行して船を走らせるのですが、クジラが潜って次に出てくる時に、殆ど船の近くに出現するんです。
勿論プロだから、と言ってしまえばそうなんでしょうが、ずいぶんと長い時間を親子のクジラと一緒に、しかも近い時には船から20～30ｍの近さで見られて感激しました。
揺れに強いカタマラン船でしたが慶良間諸島に近づくまでに結構揺れて、私の相方に言わせればほぼ半数近くの方々が袋を口にされていたそうです。
揺れの大きな屋上デッキに残って歓声を上げていたのは、すべて中高年の男性ばかり。
全く酔いのなかった私は、感動のホエールウォッチングでした。

I challenged myself to go diving for the first time with my son, who is in the second year of junior high school. From the pick-up to the shop, we talked a lot about Okinawa, which helped us relax and participate comfortably. During the diving explanation, the instructor spoke to my son in a gentle manner, and my son gradually eased his tension. Unfortunately, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave by boat, so we went to another spot instead.

Now, for the diving, my son went into the sea first to practice breathing. He got the hang of it right away. Next was my turn. I struggled to get used to the idea of holding my breath underwater and exhaling. Eventually, I managed to breathe and started diving, but my ears felt pressure. Just then, the instructor signaled for ear equalization, which was great. The sea was so beautiful and clear that I almost forgot to do the ear equalization! There were so many fish. As I dove deeper and reached a rocky area, I saw a live octopus spreading its arms and chasing away tropical fish. I was thrilled to see an octopus, which is hard to spot during the day, and when I fed the fish, they swarmed right in front of me. It was an amazing time.

When we got back on the boat, I was surprisingly cold, but they poured warm water over me, which was comforting. On the way back in the car, my son was sound asleep. I had ear pain until that night. I shared the beauty of the sea, which made me forget about ear equalization, with my wife and daughter, and we decided that next time, we want to go to the Blue Cave as a family. Thank you very much.

中2の息子と初めてのダイビングにチャレンジしました。お迎えからお店まで、いろいろと沖縄の話をしていただき、リラックスして参加できました。ダイビングの説明では、息子に語りかけるように、丁寧に説明していただき、緊張気味の息子もすこしずつ緊張が解けてきました。今回は、あいにく風がつよく船では青の洞窟に行けないとのこと。別のスポットに行っていただきました。さあ、ダイビングで、まずは息子から海へ入り、息をする練習。すぐにできました。次に私の番。水中では息を止めるのが常識で息を吐くということになれず、てこずりました。なんとか息ができるようになり、潜り始めたら耳がキーん。ちょうどそのときに耳抜きの合図をして頂きよかったのです。必ずするように！と言われていた耳抜きを忘れてしまうくらい、海がきれいで透明。魚がいっぱい。どんどん潜り、岩場に来たとき、目の前には生きているタコが足を広げて熱帯魚を追い払っていました。なかなか昼間は見れないタコまで見れて、えさをあげたら魚が目の前で入れ食い。サイコーの時間をすごせました。船にあがると案外体が冷えていましたが、お湯をかけていただきホッコリ。帰りの車では息子はぐっすりでした。わたしは当日夜までは耳が痛かった。耳抜きを忘れるくらいに綺麗な海を、妻と娘に話し、次は、家族全員で青の洞窟に行ってみたい、となりました。ありがとうございました。

I had an experience diving in the Blue Cave with Adventure Island. The weather forecast predicted rain, but somehow it cleared up, and with no wind, it turned out to be a decent day for diving. At first, I thought I would have trouble finding the location, but the store was right along the road, making it easy to spot. After entering the shop, filling out the waiver, and being introduced to the instructor, I greeted a few others who would be on the same boat, and then it was off to the sea! The ocean in Okinawa is truly emerald green! The visibility was outstanding, and I felt grateful I came right from the start.

Before boarding the boat, we received a brief lesson on how to wear the goggles, how to clear water from them and our mouths, and how to equalize our ears. Then we boarded the boat and headed to the Blue Cave. After getting off the boat, we practiced a bit in shallow water to get accustomed before diving. The instructor pushed me from behind, so I didn't have to swim much at all while equalizing my ears and going deeper into the water. Underwater, I was welcomed by many yellow, red, and blue fish, and looking up at the surface, it felt like a curtain of light was pouring down, creating a beautiful scene.

The instructor took us to spots with lots of fish and beautiful coral, snapping photos along the way. During the fish feeding experience, many fish gathered around, and I took more pictures! We explored various beautiful underwater areas and made sure to capture photos of the clownfish and coral before finishing the experience dive. The most moving part was simply how beautiful the ocean was, and the feeling of looking up at it from underwater is something I will never forget. I truly felt grateful to have had this experience.

冒険島さんの青の洞窟体験ダイビングしてきました。天気予報では雨マークでしたが、なんとか晴れて風も無くまずまずのダイビング日和となりました。まず、最初に場所をさがすのに苦労するかとおもいましたが道路沿いに店舗があり、簡単に見つける事が出来ました。お店の中に入り、誓約書等を書き、インストラクターの方のご紹介がありご挨拶をしたあと、数人の同じボートに乗る方々と一緒に海へGOー！！やっぱり沖縄の海はエメラルドグリーン！透明度バツグンで最初から来てよかったなー^ ^って感じです。ボートに乗る前に簡単にゴーグルの付け方、ゴーグルや口の中に水が入った時の水の抜き方、耳抜きの方法を教えてもらいボートに乗り込み青の洞窟へ。
それからボートから降りて浅いところで少し練習して慣れてきたところでいざ潜水。後ろからインストラクターの方が押してくれてぜんぜん自分で泳がなくてもいい状態で耳抜きをしながら水中奥深くへ。水中は黄色、赤、青の魚がたくさんお出迎えしてくれて水上を見上げると水の中にたくさんの光が降り注ぎ、光のカーテンを演出してくれてるみたいでとっても綺麗でした。また、魚がたくさんいる所やサンゴが綺麗なスポットにインストラクターさんが連れて行ってくれて写真をパシャパシャ撮ってくれました。また、魚のエサやり体験では魚がたくさん集まってきてくれてそこでもパシャリ！水中の綺麗な所を色々見て回ってきちんとクマノミとサンゴの写真も撮って体験ダイビング終了〜。やっぱり一番の感動は海がただただ綺麗で、その海を水中から見上げた感動は忘れられません。一度体験できてよかったなぁーとしみじみ思いました。

There are various tour companies, and after some deliberation, I decided on "Adventure Island" because of the boat ride, the private group option, and the fact that the staff would take photos and provide them on a CD-R.

The forecast predicted rain for the day, but it ended up being completely clear, with beautiful blue seas. The boat rocked a bit, but we arrived at the Blue Cave in about five minutes. I put on my mask and fins and jumped into the water, which was colder than I expected. The staff guided us to the Blue Cave using a float, and before I knew it, we had arrived.

Inside, it was dim, and at first, it wasn't as blue as I had seen in photos, which made me wonder if that was all there was to it. However, according to the staff, it appears blue when you look out from inside the cave. Following their instructions, I was guided to a point where I could see the blue while keeping my eyes closed. When they told me to open my eyes, it was stunning! It was just as beautiful as the photos of the Blue Cave.

Next, they took us to the spot that is said to be the bluest for photos. I was prepared for it to be crowded inside the cave, but there were actually fewer people than I expected. After exiting the cave, they pulled us to a spot where we could feed the fish. When I threw the fish food into the water, a huge number of fish came rushing in.

Finally, I received the CD-R with the photos they took. They captured so many beautiful shots, and the underwater photos were stunning. I don't think I could have taken such beautiful pictures myself, so I’m really glad I chose this tour. The staff were incredibly kind, and it turned into a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

色々なツアー会社があり迷ったものの、ボートで行くこと、1グループ貸切なこと、写真をスタッフが撮ってくれてCD-Rでもらえるなどでこの『冒険島』に決定!!
この日は雨予想でしたが、全く雨は降らずいい天気になって海もすごく青くて綺麗でした。
船は少し揺れましたが、5分ほどで青の洞窟前に到着。
マスクと足ひれを付けて海に飛び込みましたが、予想以上に水は冷たかったです^^;
顔を付けて海の中を見ながらスタッフの人が浮き輪のようなもので青の洞窟まで誘導してくれて、気がついたらもう青の洞窟まで来ていました。
中は薄暗くて、最初入った時は写真で見るほど青くなくて、こんなものなのかなぁ…って思いましたが、スタッフの説明によると、洞窟の中から外を見ると青いとのこと。言われるままに目を閉じたまま青く見えるポイントに誘導されます。
「目を開けて下さい」と言われて開けると、すごく綺麗!!写真で見た通りの青の洞窟です*^^*
次に一番青く見えるというポイントに連れて行ってもらって写真撮影。
洞窟内は混んでることもあるということで覚悟してましたが、思ったよりずっと人は少なかったです。
洞窟を出たら魚がいるポイントまで引っ張っていってもらって、魚の餌をもらって水の中であげるとものすごい数の魚がきました。
最後に撮ってもらった写真のCD-Rを貰えて、いっぱい撮ってくれてたし海の中もすごく綺麗に撮れてました。
自分で撮ってたらこんなに綺麗には撮れなかったと思うし、ここにお願いして良かったです。
スタッフの方もすごく親切だったし、いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated recently and was looking forward to the ocean in Okinawa for the first time. When I first jumped into the water, I was surprised by how cold it was, but I gradually got used to it.

When I finally looked into the sea, I was amazed to see a wide variety of fish, much more than I had expected. Before joining the tour, I thought that the "Blue Cave" looked blue because the light reflects from outside when the weather is nice, but after actually going there and listening to the guide, I learned that it appears blue when looking out from inside the cave because only the blue light remains. Seeing it in person was truly just as described, and I was really moved by how blue it was.

Next time, I want to visit the Blue Cave for diving instead of snorkeling. The staff worked hard to take a lot of photos, which made for great memories. Since the weather was bad this time, I hope to visit the Blue Cave on a sunny day next time.

What I thought after participating in this tour was that the staff went above and beyond for the participants, which made for an enjoyable experience. Thank you very much.

先日参加しましたが、初めての沖縄の海ということで楽しみにしていました。
最初にまず海に飛び込んだ時はあまりの冷たさにビックリしましたが、次第に慣れていき
ました。
いよいよ海の中を覗いた時には思っていたよりも、多種多様な魚がいっぱいいて、そんなに多くいると思っていなかったのでそこでもビックリしました。
ツアーに参加する前は「青の洞窟」といえば、洞窟の中が青いのは天気が良い時に洞窟の外から中を見た時に光が反射して青く見えると思っていたけど、実際に行ってガイドさんの話を聞くと、青く見えるのは洞窟の中から外を見た時に、光の中で青色だけが残るので青く見えるという
ことでした。実際に見たら本当にその通りですごく青くて感動しました。
次に行ったときはシュノーケルじゃなくてダイビングで青の洞窟に行ってみたいです。
スタッフの人がずごくたくさんの写真を撮ってくれるためにがんばってくれたので、いい思い出になりました。
今回は天気が悪かったので次回は晴天の時に青の洞窟を訪れたいと思います。
このツアーに参加して思ったのは、スタッフの人達が参加者の為にいたれりつくせりして
くれたので、楽しく過ごせました。どうもありがとうございました。

Visit to the butterfly park was surprisingly wonderful but just about 15 minutes self tour would be really a deadly rush. Sufficient time to fool around the Churaumi Aquarium after the light lunch. Thumbs up ! Pineapple park tour was related products hard sell yet a good try. The last stop was merely a stop. After all, visit to the Churaumi Aquarium alone worth the value of the whole tour.

I was worried because the weather wasn't good, but I was able to see more than I expected (^ - ^). Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any turtles, but I'm satisfied♪

天候が良くないので心配してましたが、思ってたよりもよく見ることができました(^-^)残念ながらカメには出逢えませんでしたが、満足です♪

I participated at the end of the year, but unfortunately, I didn't see any whales. After returning, I asked a diver acquaintance, and they told me that whales are rarely seen in December. It seems that most whale watching tours organized by diving shops start around the second week of January. I thought it might be a bit early, so I wasn't too hopeful, and it can't be helped!

We ventured out to about the area shown in the photo. It was quite far, so I'll just consider it as part of the cruise cost.

The boat rocked quite a bit, probably due to the winter weather. Since the journey was long, there were many people sleeping... There wasn't really a sense of "We might see whales! We need to keep an eye out!" throughout the boat. I got the impression that there were many participants from China.

年末に参加しましたが、クジラは見られませんでした。。
帰ってきてから知り合いのダイバーに聞いたところ、12月はほとんど見られないそうで、ダイビングショップなどが開催しているホエールウォッチングツアーは1月2週目くらいからのスタートが多いのだそうです。
ちょっと時期が早いかなとダメ元だったので、しょうがないです！
だいたい写真のあたりまで遠征していました。そこそこ遠いので、クルーズ代だと思うことにします。

船は冬のせいかけっこう揺れました。
移動が長いので、寝ている人が多かったかも…「クジラが見られるかも！よく見てないと！」という感じは、船内全体としてなかったかなぁ。。
参加者は中国の方が多かった印象でした。

There were quite a few foreign tourists on the tour. The boat was rocking quite a bit, but I didn't see anyone getting seasick. The guide was really good at spotting whales, and it was great to see a mother and calf whale. It was my first time whale watching, so I'm glad I got to see them.

ツアーは外国人の方がわりと多めだったかな？船はけっこう揺れてたけど、酔ってる人は特に見当たらなかったですね。ガイドさんがホエールをめっちゃ探してくれて、親子のホエールも見れてよかったです。初めてのホエールウォッチングだったので見れてよかったです。

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful seas of Okinawa, such as Manza Beach and Kouri Island.

At the Churaumi Aquarium, I had three hours of free time and had a great time.

However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have enough time at Nago Pineapple Park.

Overall, I was able to enjoy the nature of Okinawa sufficiently.

万座毛や小宇利島など沖縄の美しい海を満喫できました。

美ら海水族館では、３時間のフリータイムもあり十分楽しめました。

ただナゴパイナップルパークでの滞在時間が足りなかったのは少し残念でした。

総合的に考えると十分沖縄の自然を楽しめました。

There were many foreign tourists on the tour. The pickup in the morning was late and past the scheduled time, so I contacted the tour company, but it was outside of business hours and went to voicemail. Other foreign tourists who were waiting seemed anxious as well. After arriving, the guide apologized for the delay due to traffic, but I hope it would be possible to get in touch even in the morning.

The tour content was great as we were able to visit all the places we wanted to go. The Churaumi Aquarium was also enjoyable.

外国人の方が多いツアーでした。朝の出発の迎えが遅く、指定時間を過ぎていたのでツアー会社に連絡しましたが営業時間外とのことで留守電でした。同じように待っていた外国人の方も不安そうにされていました。到着後、渋滞で遅くなったとガイドさんが謝られていましたが、朝でも連絡が取れるといいな、と思います。

ツアー内容は、行きたい所に全て行けたのでよかったです。 美ら海水族館も楽しかったです。

The first hour was spent on pickups at several locations around the hotel. Well, it couldn't be helped, but I was quite frustrated at first since I boarded from Kencho-mae. Especially since it was multilingual, most of the other passengers were Chinese and a few groups of Koreans. However, it seemed that many were used to traveling abroad, so there were no particularly bad manners, and I didn't have an unpleasant experience.

The tour itself was efficient, covering central Okinawa and the Churaumi Aquarium well. The bus had Wi-Fi, so it was nice to be able to check information online during the ride. Particularly at the Churaumi Aquarium, we had plenty of time, so I was able to fully enjoy it. On the other hand, the Nago Pineapple Park was more disappointing than I expected. However, the pineapple ice cream recommended by the tour guide was really delicious.

朝の1時間はホテルを何か所がまわるピックアップに費やされました。まあ、仕方がないのですが、県庁前から乗車したので最初は結構イライラしました。とくに多言語対応でしたので、私たち以外はほとんどが中国人と数組の韓国人でした。まあ、海外旅行慣れしている方が多かったらしく、特にマナーが悪いということもなく不愉快な思いはしませんでした。
ツアー自体は内容や行程も沖縄中部や美ら海水族館を効率よく回ることができ、バスはwifiもあるので移動中はネットで情報を確認したりできてよかったです。特に美ら海水族館ではたっぷり時間をとっていただいてあったので十分満喫できました。反対に、ナゴパイナップルパークは予想以上にちゃちなものでがっかりでした。ただし、添乗員さんお勧めのパイナップルアイスは本当においしかったです。

The tour was a bit of a rush.

For the butterflies, we had to eat our Okinawa Soba very fast to get some time to enjoy them. No guide or signs to guide you, it was hard to know where to go.
The Aquarium was really nice, there was enough time to enjoy it.

The Pineapple Park visit was really disappointing : we had a 5 minutes tour in Japanese to end up in the park's shop. We saw basically nothing of the park, the point here was to buy stuff.

The Ryukyu Mura was a bit more interesting, but the point here was also to buy things (Okinawa Glass).

The tour is really made and thought for Japanese tourists, a pamphlet in English explaining in detail the program would have been nice and helpful, as well as a guide who could speak a bit of English.

This tour is useful to go to the Aquarium, but aside from that, not interesting at all for non-Japanese speaking tourists.

Recently, I participated with my wife. Although it was a bit cloudy that day, once we dove into the sea, a blue world unfolded before us, and it didn't matter at all. It was my first time snorkeling, so I had some anxiety, but thanks to the kind support of the instructor, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Maybe next time I'll try diving!

先日、妻と参加させていただきました。
当日曇り気味ではありましたが、海に潜るとそんなん関係なく青の世界が広がってました。
初のシュノーケルだったので不安もありましたが
インストラクターの方の親切な対応もあり
安心して楽しめました。
今度はダイビングかなぁ〜
