It was a rainy day and low tide, but the trip was nothing special anyway. Very short swim through the best part and then a few minutes in a small cave. No showers. Take a towel to have some privacy while getting back into your dry clothes. This is really for beginner snorkelling.

We had a fantastic experience on our half-day snorkeling trip to the Blue Cave with Akari as our guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The Blue Cave was stunning and truly lived up to the hype, with crystal clear water and tons of beautiful fish around the area. She also took photos and videos for us throughout the tour. We highly recommend booking with Adventure Pipi

I went on a snorkeling tour and it was lovely. We saw a lot of animals and corals. Our guide Akari was the best. She made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable at all times. She is also very knowledgeable about the area and animals and could answer all questions and gave great recommendations. Would do a tour with her again any day! You're the best Akari, thank you for the great morning.

Excellent experience. Akari is a magnificent guide. Very professional and willing at all times to make a great day to know one of the most spectacular places in Ishigaki. You can see that he knows the place very well and shows it in all its glory.

We had a great time snorkeling in December! We booked the tour through Viator online, and they were helpful to confirm with the tour operator that they would have an XL wet suit for my husband. The tour operator themselves called me the day before to tell me that the weather conditions were not great so the tour will be moved to closer to Ishigaki City and that they would give us a discount, which we were ok with. The pickup went smoothly for our group of 8, and our tour guides were both very fun and kept the conversation going. One spoke English very well, which was a relief for my husband who doesn’t speak Japanese. We all received wet suits, shoes and life jackets that fit, which was a relief. The snorkeling was beautiful even though the weather was not perfect. The wet suits kept us surprisingly warm! The guides knew a good route based on the strong currents and pointed out interesting fish - both information we wouldn’t have gotten if we had snorkeled on our own. He took photos for us and sent them the same day which was also appreciated. It did require some walking on coral, so sure-footedness is necessary, but there were people on the tour who were not strong swimmers but had a great time by holding on to the float that the guide pulled. All in all, it was a very fun time despite the weather. Would recommend! 主人のために大きなサイズを用意して頂き本当にありがとうございました。ガイドさんたち二人ともお話が上手で楽しかったです。スノーケリング本当に楽しかったです!

Great experience for snorkling, our guide Akari was super nice and was able to ride us many fish like parrot fish, globe fish... Smaller groups keep interactions on a human scale. I recommend!
