• Beat the Crowd to the Main Event

  There is a reason this tour has 5 stars, and it will likely keep getting 5 stars because it is highly deserved. Everything about this tour is worth your time and money, and Zohar will make sure you are taken care of. Taking photos / videos, providing insight on the ecology of the reef, having snack and shower after the tour, and of course...making sure you see plenty of turtles! This tour begins earlier than most others so that you beat the crowd to the reef, and have a quieter more personalized experience. I can't recommend this tour enough, and if you can book your other tours with Discover Ishigaki, you won't be disappointed!

  

  

  

  

• Amazing snorkelling trip

  We had a fantastic snorkeling trip with Discover Ishigaki and our guide Zohar Paz. The scenery both above and below the water was amazing, and we were lucky to see beautiful coral, colorful fish, and sea turtles. We felt very welcome and safe throughout the entire tour. Zohar was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared lots of interesting information along the way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ishigaki!

  I recommend this tour provider 100%! I booked the turttle half-day snorkeling experience. It includes pickup, great van (air conditioner and water-proof seats), great Guide (Zohar) and the size of the group is just perfect (we were 5). The snorkel equipment is TOP tier, the place we went is easy to access and the coral, fish is just beach-accessible and super close. The tour is safe, well organized, good for beginners and also for experienced people. We had a great day, we saw plenty of animals: sea snake, nemo, clown tiggerfish, turttle, a LOT of colorfoul fish - many many spieces! Zohar took us to the blue cave too, we saw blue coconout crabs!!! He gifted us local pineapple, plenty of water, and he also showed us a bit of Jungle walk (we saw lizards and a snake!) Plus on top off that - he recorded amazing pictures of us and videos meanwhile 😍 he sends them afterwards. This is one of the best tours I have done, honestly! Thank you!

  

  

  

• Swimming with turtles!

  I had an amazing experience swimming with turtles with Zohar as the guide in Ishigaki. Previously, I also booked a snorkeling tour with a group in Naha, but perhaps because the tour group in Naha was larger, I did not feel like I made the most of my experience there as there were moments that I felt the tour guides did not pay attention to whether or not I was having a good time. I only saw one small turtle at a distance in Naha. My tour with Zohar in Ishigaki was different. It felt more personalized as the tour consisted of a smaller group of people. I was a solo traveller and there was another couple on the tour. Zohar has a sharp and witty sense of humor. He really delivers as promised. During the tour, we not only saw one turtle, but if I counted correctly, we swam very closely to maybe at least five turtles in the two hour period that we were snorkeling. There was one special moment to me that I will never forget. We were waiting for a turtle to swim up to the surface, and I remember I had only momentarily, playfully, and telepathically asked the turtle to swim towards me. The strange thing is that it seemed to have worked, so much that if I had not moved my arms when the turtle was swimming towards our direction and was passing by me, I think the turtle would have brushed against my arm. Thanks to Zohar, the memory not only lives in my mind but I also have a photo of that encounter as well. It felt very ethereal to be able to swim so close to and alongside turtles like that.

  We were looked after brilliantly, great communication prior to the trip. It was great having an English speaking Guide and we got plenty of snorkeling time. Thank you so much Zohar for such a great experience

  Our guide and owner of Turtle Snorkeling was very well prepared and knowledgeable. He took great care of us and especially with putting on the wetsuit. He took photos of the fish and turtles and all of as we didn't have underwear cameras. We recommend him for a nice outdoor adventure on Ishigaki.

  

  

  

• Fantastic!!

  Zohar is extremely knowledgable, personable, and overall a fantastic tour guide. Having done the tour and observing others who pursued other guides, his attentive service and responsiveness to your needs really stands out. Additionally, highly recommend the full day tour, as it enables you to maximize your understanding of the island and it's culture/surroundings. It is highly evident that Zohar has put a lot of thoughtfulness and care into his system. For example, following the dive he has a hot portable water shower, cold water on tap, and most importantly a fantastic attitude. I recommend that your search for a guide ends here! :)
