Yuri was our guide, and honestly, he made the whole experience! Super friendly right from the start, and his energy was so warm and reassuring, especially for beginners like us. We felt completely safe the whole time. We were in a small group, which we really liked, it made everything feel more personal. What really stood out was how hard he worked to get us great photos. He'd dive down several feet, hold his position, and blow these big bubble rings just to frame the shot. The water depth was perfect too, shallow enough that we could hover right over the coral and watch all the fish doing their thing with zero effort. There were other people swimming around, but Yuri made it easy to spot him and regroup whenever we needed. We’re so happy with the experience!
Being January, the middle of winter, I was worried about the cold and hesitated, but I chose this tour and it was absolutely perfect! I received kind instructions via email and WhatsApp the day before the tour, and they provide all snorkeling equipment (mask, wetsuit, diving boots, and short fins), so all you need to bring is a swimsuit and towel. We met at the 2nd parking lot of Shigi beach, put on wetsuits, moved to the beach, listened to some precautions, and then entered the water to put on the remaining equipment. After receiving the meticulous service of providing anti-fog medicine for the snorkeling mask, the tour begins in earnest! The underwater environment is clear and clean, so you can enjoy it with a clear view!! I was able to spend a fun and happy time meeting sea turtles and tropical fish like Nemo while listening to the kind and passionate guide Mayu's skilled leading and guidance!!! In particular, guide Mayu showed great activity with excellent English skills and constantly checking the safety of the group, as well as leaving wonderful memories with amazing underwater photography, and it was a perfect experience with the added consideration of providing warm water after the tour!!!! Thank you Mayu! If you want to go on a snorkeling tour in Miyakojima, don't hesitate and apply here! Definitely!
The guide-Mrs.Hana is very professional、kind and gentle ,even if tourist don't know japanese, she will try her best to explain everything in English, the experience here was very good.
i was excited to do snorkeling in Miyakozima with Ryoma ~ great memories by meeting many ocean creatures and designated point with gorgeous pictures !
“Best Miyakojima memories! Thank you, Mayu-san!” Although the weather in March was a bit unstable, we were so glad we took this tour. From the WhatsApp communication before the trip to the equipment provided on-site, we could feel the shop's dedication. We brought our 4-year-old and 6-year-old children to the 10:30 AM session. Our instructor, Mayu, was very professional and attentive, allowing us to explore freely in a safe environment. We were so lucky to see beautiful coral reefs and two sea turtles! The photos Mayu took were also exquisite. This was an unforgettable family trip, and we will definitely come back again. We highly recommend the professional instructor Mayu!
Arrived at the parking lot on time as instructed, and met the other Korean people who were joining us and prepared together. It was a little scary when I first entered the sea with all the equipment on, but I quickly got used to it by following the guide, and I saw the breathtakingly beautiful sea scenery while passing through the coral reefs ^^. If you are planning to go to Miyakojima, I highly recommend trying snorkeling. Especially around Sugira Beach, there are many resorts, hotels, and restaurants, so it seems like the optimal location, so I recommend it!
We went snorkeling for the first time with our kids! ^^ It was a bit cold since it's winter, but it was a new experience. We went out into the surprisingly deep sea and saw the underwater scenery, and we saw really beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles. I was so grateful for how kind and professional our guide, Ryoma, was. He even took a video of a sea turtle hiding deep in the water for us. ^^ Thank you, Ryoma!
Amazing half a day trip! We had an amazing guide, Mayu, she made sure at all times we were safe and having a good time. She took amazing pictures of us. She was very energetic and tried her best to make us see the most turtles possible. We were lucky that day and got to see 4 of them 😍Took the 830am tour.
From the first meeting to the tour, I felt very safe because I felt that they were constantly looking after the safety and convenience of the tourists. I saw Mimo and turtles, and they took really great pictures, so I had unforgettable memories. I definitely recommend it. Make sure to make a reservation. You will be more than 100% satisfied. Thank you again to the staff.
It was an incredible experience, we even saw three turtles. We would always come back and can highly recommend this tour! Such an awesome guide, wow!!! We will definetely come back one day.
