Bring sunscreen for sure, and a hat for the ferry to avoid sunburn on the head. Some people did get sick on the boat but otherwise the snorkelling was stunning. So many beautiful fish and amazingly blue water
Good but would rather pay more for a more private experience

Snorkeling was fun and the spots we went to were amazing and beautiful! Unfortunately you are on a boat with A LOT of other people and most of them are not English speaking. Boat ride to the islands was a little rough and my husband did feel sick. Lunch was good but was more expensive than what is advertised here so we feel that we were ripped off a bit. We saw a sea turtle on our trip which was awesome but we were yelled at while snorkeling to not touch any of the animals, and in the meantime the scuba divers were grabbing at the turtle and poking it with metal rods which made us feel really bad for the turtle. Also annoyed that the scuba divers did not seem to follow the same rules as the snorkelers when it came to protecting the reef and the animals.

I was a little worried there wouldn’t be enough to see since I was snorkeling instead of scuba diving, but once we got out there, those worries disappeared. We saw so many incredible things: clownfish, vibrant corals, turtles, eels, squid, and more. They even had prescription goggles, which was a huge help for someone who wears glasses. The GoPro rental was super convenient too. They give you the micro SD card to keep, and if you want to transfer the videos quickly, bring an adapter. We spent a solid amount of time in the water, and just as I started to feel ready to head back, they called us in. Such a fun and memorable experience. I’d absolutely recommend it to any snorkeler!
Absolutely Unforgettable Experience – Highly Recommended!

We had an amazing time on the Okinawa: From Naha – 1 Day Kerama Islands Snorkeling Tour! The highlight of our trip was definitely seeing three sea turtles up close while snorkeling—such a magical and unforgettable moment. The crew was fantastic—super friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire day. We were especially impressed with how smoothly everything went, and the fact that all instructions were clearly provided in English made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. We also rented a GoPro, and the footage we captured is absolutely stunning—crystal-clear, high-quality videos that perfectly preserved our underwater adventure. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this activity. It was well-organized, safe, and full of breathtaking sights. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Okinawa. Don’t miss it!

Christina and her staff work so hard to make the day run smoothly and efficiently! The curry lunch hit the spot during the 2 of 3 stops to enjoy nature! Saw plenty of fish and some turtles! The water is clear and cool!
