4.00We had a lot of fun, and our guide Ryoma was great! Highly recommended for people who are in the area and want a good snorkeling experience - the only thing I would have preferred is if the ferry from Ishigaki was included :)

5.00Yume-san's guide was very safe, and he taught me how to snorkel again, which was very helpful. We enjoyed the ride with peace of mind from start to finish, as they always looked out underwater. I'll be back. Thank you very much‼️

5.00My family (two adults, sixth grade, third grade) went to Iriomote Island for the first time. It was my first time snorkeling and kayaking, and the kids were so happy to see the guide Okun being so kind to them! If I get another chance, I'd like to ask for it!
An irreplaceable experience with Ok-kun

5.00The group ranged from young children to people in their 50s, but the guides took care of each one for everyone to enjoy. They explained the safety precautions carefully in advance, and even people who are not good swimmers could enjoy it with peace of mind. We enjoyed canoeing, snorkeling and spending plenty of time. Thank you very much. The toilet break is one between canoeing and snorkeling, and you may want to be careful not to drink too much water if you are close to the toilet, as snorkeling makes you feel cold and want to go to the toilet. You can go to the bathroom when you come back from Barras Island and take a shower. Finally, I think it’s a great service to have your photos on LINE. I'm glad I took part.
It's definitely a family trip.

5.00I was tired of canoeing, but I enjoyed seeing the mangrove forest up close. The sea was cold on Barras Island, but it was great to be able to make landfall by the low tide. Also, Jun-san was handsome.
It was a great memory for me!
