All Reviews for 浮潛（シュノーケリング）

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

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。

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。

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 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。

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。

I participated on Sunday ☻. I was a bit anxious since it was my 5-year-old son's first time snorkeling, but the staff treated us kindly, and my child was completely unafraid and had a great time! It seems he has fallen in love with playing in the ocean, and we, as parents, were very satisfied ☻. They took a lot of photos and sent them to us right away! Snorkeling in the Blue Cave with my child was a small dream of mine, so I am truly grateful! I would like to use this service again!

日曜日に参加しました☻
5歳の男の子(シュノーケル初めて)との参加で、少し不安もありましたが…
スタッフさんが丁寧に接してくれ、子どもも全く怖がらず楽しい！また行こうね！と海遊びが大好きになった様で親も大満足でした☻
写真も沢山撮って頂き直ぐに送って下さりました！
青の洞窟で子どもと一緒にシュノーケルをするのが小さな夢だったので本当に感謝です！
また利用したいと思います！

My partner is an experienced scuba diver, but I was very anxious since it was my first time snorkeling and I can't swim. However, I participated as a birthday challenge and to create memories. Contrary to my anxiety, thanks to our instructor Shion, I was able to experience an absolutely wonderful time in the sea. This has inspired me to try scuba diving next. The atmosphere among the other staff was also great, and I will definitely join Adventure Island's tours again when I visit Okinawa. Lastly, thank you for all your thoughtful care and for taking so many photos.

相方はスキューバー経験者ですが、私は初シュノーケリングに加えて泳げないので、とても不安でしたが、お誕生日の挑戦＆思い出にと参加しました。。不安とは裏原に、インストラクターのシオンさんのお陰で最高に素敵な海時間を体験する事が出来ました。これを機に次はスキューバーに挑戦したいと思います。他のスタッフの皆様の雰囲気も良く、又、沖縄を訪れる際には冒険島さんのツアーに参加させて頂きます。
最後になりましたが、色々なお気遣い、そしてたくさんの写真を撮って頂きありがとうございました。

We booked our tour on a Saturday to go to the Blue Cave. As this was my first ocean snorkeling experience, I was not sure what to expect but the minute I put my mask in the water I was hooked! The water was crystal clear and the wave action was very gentle. The only major issue that I had with the whole event was that the cave staging area was PACKED with people and boats. It was fun getting to see the fish and coral and other sea life and we didn't care too much about the congestion outside of the cave but inside was a different matter. There were so many scuba divers and other snorkelers in the cave that you sometimes hit them with your swim fins and it was really crowded waiting for you turn at the photography area. Feeding the fish was fun and they swam very close. Our guide was very apologetic about the congestion, and we were having so much fun we assured him we understood and were still happy with our first experience. It remains one of our favorite memories even with the traffic jam. Next time we will book the tour on a weekday to help reduce the congestion but overall the trip was great for a first time!

I went on my first trip to Okinawa during Golden Week. I made a reservation for two people because I wanted to go snorkeling in the ocean.

We went to the designated meeting place, filled out a waiver, and quickly changed into the wetsuits we were given. There was no explanation about changing areas, and since I happened to wear my swimsuit under my clothes, I ended up changing in front of many men.

Regarding our belongings, we could only take waterproof phones on the boat, and I was considering putting our bags in the car since there were no lockers. However, the parking lot was about 100 meters away from the building, making it difficult to move in a wetsuit. As a result, we were almost forced to use a paid (non-refundable) locker for our belongings. Many of the staff members here were a bit overbearing. I wouldn't recommend this for families or couples.

After changing, we took our fins and snorkels and moved to a regular van for about a five-minute ride. Therefore, we had to split into several groups for both the outbound and return trips. Once we arrived at the boat location, we headed straight for the Blue Cave. It was easy to identify the spot because there were dozens of boats anchored around. There were indeed a lot of people. Since we were snorkeling, we could see from the surface, but at any given moment, there were divers below... (laughs) I suppose this isn't the tour's fault, but it was unavoidable. Were we there to see the fish or to watch the divers? (laughs)

Amidst the crowd and getting kicked by fins, we finally made it inside the Blue Cave. There was a long line. We waited for 30 minutes to an hour to take pictures at the spot where the water appears the bluest. Of course, I had no intention of waiting, so I went with the instructor and other participants towards the ocean. It was time for the fish feeding experience! Fish I had never seen before, likely from a tropical fish store, gathered in front of me seeking food. I was truly moved by their beauty. Although I spent more time watching the fish than actually seeing the Blue Cave, I felt like, "Well, at least I got to see the ocean..."

After coming out of the water, we returned to the changing area to prepare for our departure. There were no shampoo, conditioner, body soap, or towels available. The only things provided were a hairdryer, lotion, and sunscreen. Women should be cautious about this.

Access was easy, but I think I might choose a different tour company next time.

GWに初沖縄旅行。
沖縄に行ったら、海に潜りたいと2名で予約して参加しました。

指定された集合場所へ行き、誓約書を書き、渡されたウェットスーツにすぐに着替えます。
着替え場所などは説明がなく、たまたま洋服の下に水着を着て行ったので男性もたくさんいる中着替えをする羽目になりました。

荷物に関しては、防水携帯くらいしか船には持って行けず、ロッカーがなかったら車に荷物を入れておこうと考えていたのですが、駐車場は建物より１００メートル程度離れており、ウェットスーツで移動するのは困難でした。
そのため、ほぼ強制的に有料(返金なし)のロッカーに荷物を入れることに。。
ここのスタッフの方は、少し高圧的な方が多いです。
家族連れやカップルにはおすすめしません。

さて、着替えを済ませフィンやシュノーケルは自分で持ち移動者へ。
通常のワンボックスカーで５分程度の道を移動します。
そのため、行きも帰りも何便かに分かれて移動になります。
船の場所へ着いたら、早速青の洞窟方面へ。
場所は見てすぐ分かりました。何故なら周辺に何十隻もの船が乗り付けて停泊しているからです。
人はほんとにたくさんいました。
私たちはシュノーケルでしたので海面から覗くのですが、どのタイミングにも海中にはダイビングの方々が、、、(笑)
これはツアーのせいでは全くないのでしょうがないとは思います。
魚を見に来たのか、潜ってる人を見に来たのか。(笑)
さて、たくさんの人にもまれながら、フィンで蹴られながら遂に青の洞窟内です。
んんん。長蛇の列があります。
30分から1時間待ち。それは最も青く写る場所での写真撮影ポイントの待ち列でした。
もちろん、待つ気はなくインストラクターさんと他の参加者の方と海の方へ。
魚の餌付け体験です！
熱帯魚の販売店でか見たことのない魚たちが目の前に餌を求めて集まってきます。
これには綺麗さに本当に感動しました。
青の洞窟を見るよりかは、海の方で魚を見てる時間の方が多かったですが、本当に人だらけ「まあ、海見れたし・・・」という気分になりました。

海から上がり着替え場所へもどり、帰り支度です。
シャンプー・リンス・ボディーソープ・タオルなど一切ありません。
あるのは、ドライヤーと化粧水、日焼け止めのみ。
女性の方は要注意です。

アクセスはしやすかったですが、次回は他のツアー会社にしようかなと思いました。

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。

At the beginning of April, I participated in a tour with my husband. First, we confirmed some simple precautions at the reception. You can rent an underwater camera, and of course, you can use your own SD card from your digital camera, but you can also purchase a new one at the shop for 1,000 yen. We were a bit unsure but decided to buy a new one just in case! After that, we stored our valuables in the office locker and changed into our wetsuits. (The changing area isn't very spacious, so it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath the wetsuit beforehand!) Once we finished changing, we got into the shop's van and moved to the port across the road! We boarded the boat. There were also people participating in diving tours on the boat, in addition to snorkeling. We were divided into teams of 5 or 6 and received explanations from the staff. I was a bit nervous since it had been a while since I last snorkeled, but the staff were very friendly, which helped me relax. After about five minutes on the boat, we arrived at the entrance of the cave! From here, we swam into the cave. The weather was bad that day, so the waves were quite strong, and I was desperately clinging to the float that the staff held! Before entering the cave, the staff told us to "close your eyes until I say it's okay!" I held onto the float with my eyes closed and entered the cave... When I was told "Okay!" and opened my eyes, there was a fantastical blue world waiting for me!!!! It was just as beautiful as the photos, if not more!!! And when I put my face in the water, a lot of fish swam right in front of me, and I was so excited. At one point, the staff distributed some fish food (bread??), and we got to experience feeding the fish. It was ticklish and funny when they took the food directly from my hand, haha. Just like that, while enjoying snorkeling, it was soon time to return... When we exited the cave, the weather had worsened, and the return boat ride was quite cold ((( ；ﾟДﾟ))) We returned to the shop, took a shower, changed, and the tour ended!!!! Despite the unfortunate weather, it was a very satisfying tour♪ Next time, I would like to try diving. Thank you for the wonderful time!

4月の始めに主人とツアーに参加しました。
まずは受付で簡単な注意事項の確認。
水中カメラのレンタルができ、もちろん自分のデジカメに入っているSDカードも使えますがお店で1,000円で新しいものが購入できます。
私たちも迷いましたが万が一に備えて新しいものを購入！
その後貴重品を事務所のロッカーに預けてウェットスーツに着替えに。(着替えスペースはあまり広くはないのでウェットスーツの下に着る水着はあらかじめ着ていったほうがいいです！)
着替えが終わるとお店のバンに乗り込み道路の向かい側にある港へ移動！ボートへ乗り込みます。ボートにはシュノーケル以外にもダイビングツアーに参加される方々も同乗していました。
1チーム5.6人に分かれ担当のスタッフさんから説明を受けます。
久し振りのシュノーケルで少し緊張していましがスタッフさんがとても気さくな方でリラックスすることができました。
ボートに乗って5分ほどで洞窟の入口に到着！
ここからは泳いで洞窟の中に向かいます。
当日は悪天候だったのでかなり波が強くスタッフさんの持っている浮き輪に必死にしがみついていました！
洞窟に入る前にスタッフさんに「いいって言うまで目を閉じて～！」と言われ目を閉じたまま浮き輪につかまり洞窟の中へ…
「いいよ～！」と言われ目を開けるとそこにはなんとも幻想的な青い世界が!!!!
本当に写真で見たまんま、いやそれ以上に綺麗なブルーでした!!!
そして水面に顔をつけると沢山の魚が目の前を泳いでいきテンションMAXに
途中でスタッフさんが魚のエサ(パン??)を一切れ配り、餌付け体験もできました
手から直接エサを持っていかれる感じがくすぐったくて面白かったです笑
そんな感じでシュノーケルを楽しんでいるとあっという間に戻る時間に…
洞窟を出るとさっきよりも天候が悪化帰りのボートはかなり寒かったです((( ；ﾟДﾟ)))
お店に戻りシャワーを浴びて着替えてツアー終了!!!!
あいにくの天気ではありましたが大満足のツアーでした♪
次回はダイビングのほうを体験したみたいと思います。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

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★

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。

My husband and I participated in snorkeling together. We were able to use a wetsuit, life jacket, prescription snorkeling mask, bath towel, and underwater camera for free.

Since we took a boat to the Blue Cave, I was worried about seasickness, but we arrived in no time, so it wasn't a problem at all. The staff provided detailed explanations on how to wear the snorkeling mask, how to breathe, and how to swim using fins, which made it feel safe for first-timers to join. (We had some snorkeling experience, so we were fine.)

The Blue Cave was beautifully mystical and very stunning! I was really impressed by the many colorful fish that were even more than I had imagined. I'm not a strong swimmer, so I held onto the float that the instructor was pulling, but they constantly checked on us and communicated, which made me feel at ease, and I had a very enjoyable time.

There were only three shower rooms, so the women's changing area was quite crowded, which was the only downside, but the fun we had outweighed that. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

旦那さんと2人でシュノーケリングに参加しました。ウェットスーツやライフジャケットはもちろんですが、度付きのシュノーケルマスクやバスタオル、水中カメラも無料で使うことができました。
青の洞窟まではボートで行くので船酔いが心配でしたが、あっという間に到着したのでまったく問題無かったです。
ボートの中でシュノーケルマスクの付け方や、呼吸の仕方、フィンを使う時の泳ぎ方など丁寧に説明してくれるので、初めてシュノーケルをする人でも安心して参加できそうだなと思いました。（私たちは何度かシュノーケルの経験があるので大丈夫でした）
青の洞窟は神秘的な美しさでとても綺麗でした！想像していた以上にカラフルな色の魚たちがたくさん見られてすごく感動しました。私は泳ぎが苦手なので、インストラクターの方が引っ張ってくれる浮き輪にずっと捕まっていたのですが、常に気を配って人数を確認したり、声かけをしてくださったので、不安無く、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
シャワールームが3つしか無いので、女性の更衣室はすごく混み合って、そこだけがマイナスポイントでしたが、それを上回る楽しさでした。また機会があればぜひ参加したいです！

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！
