Best snorkeling‼️

5.00I was worried if I could really come snorkeling in the cold weather, but if there is no problem, I am right to come this season! That's what I thought. The sea was beautiful, and we had encounters with sea turtles. It's thanks to the kind guides. One regret was that I couldn't shoot with Nemo because it was backlit because of the time of day Hana-chan in charge. I look forward to seeing you again next time.
It's a great memory.

5.00It was a good memory in Miyakojima! The weather and the clarity of the sea were the best, and I was impressed to meet sea turtles at a closer distance than I ever imagined. Dundee Bearded Girl, who has a lovely smile on her guide, is just kind, Even if it was my first time snorkeling, they were very supportive, so I could enjoy it with peace of mind. They also took a lot of photos and videos, and I'm really happy that they get data. The safety management was very thorough and I was able to relax and enjoy the sea from start to finish. If you are going to snorkel on Miyakojima, I highly recommend this tour! Whenever I come to Miyakojima again, I want to participate
I even met Nemo.

5.00I joined a sea turtle snorkel at the end of December with my two children! We also met a sea turtle safely! They also explained coral and fish! I was able to take pictures with Nemo! A Dundee-bearded guide took a wonderful picture from the bottom of the ocean! I'd like to participate in another season!
It's good to see the turtles!...

5.00It's great to meet the turtles! I didn't know if the weather could be bad, but I'm glad I did. I couldn't dive, so I snorkeled, but I didn't underestimate snorkeling! The instructor was kind and careful to teach us and it was easy to do!!

5.00Amazing experience! Walked right out from the parking lot onto the reef. It was absolutely beautiful, a ton of amazing fish. We also saw a sea turtle! Ryoma was a great instructor, and took many great pictures of us, the fish, and the reef. I highly recommend it!

5.00We had a fantastic snorkeling trip today and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The water was crystal clear, with plenty of fish and beautiful coral to see. Our guide, Yuuri was excellent, very helpful, friendly, and informative throughout the trip. He was also great with our two kids, making them feel safe and confident, which really added to our enjoyment. Everything was well organised, and we truly had a great time. Highly recommended!
First snorkeling -- unforgettable experience.

5.00We had such a great time snorkeling in Miyako just off Shigira beach! We had a great guide (Mayuko) who handled our tour in Japanese and English and was very good at making sure everyone was clear on instructions, checking on everyone to make sure they were doing OK, and providing the best experiences. It was a colder day and we were fitted with wet suits, but got the best sea turtle snorkeling experience ever! So much fun, highly recommend.
