Good communication. Young Mr. Saito picked us up at the hotel on time and took us on a snorkeling tour that suited our abilities. Then we had a nice side trip to a quiet river to cool off. He took some great pictures of us. 100% recommend if you’re looking to have a smooth adventure.

Wata’s 4-hour snorkeling tour was absolutely amazing. He took us to a hidden beach that most other tours don’t even know about. The coral was thriving, and we were lucky enough to swim with sea turtles—it was such an unforgettable experience. After snorkeling, we cooled off at a waterfall that only the locals know, which was super refreshing. To wrap things up, we had fresh pineapple juice from Ishigaki Island—it hit the spot after all that swimming. Wata is also a professional photographer, so he sent us the photos he took by the Gopro during the tour afterward. The shots were incredible and made the perfect keepsake from our trip.
