Reviews
It was perfect experience!! Ami was very client oriented and responsive host. She answered all our questions and there was a lot. We were family of 5 including 11, 9 and 3 years old toddler and we booked whale shark and blue cave snorkeling and diving activities. Even though the weather conditions were not perfect, all was done safely and very fun for all participants. It was one of the best activities that we had in our Japan trip. We got best pictures also.
It was my first time seeing whale sharks up close. The instructor gave a detailed briefing beforehand, and once we were in the water, we joined other groups to observe them. It was a truly worthwhile experience.
Instructor: Teitei is very professional and friendly, and is extremely patient with beginners, taking special care of those experiencing ocean activities for the first time. There are no communication barriers either, as both Mandarin and English are spoken very well.
Yumi was perfect with us. A rare and amazing experience. The proximity to the whale sharks is exceptional. Thank you again!
The instructor contacted us the day before to carefully provide the meeting point and also helped us store our valuables. The whale sharks were extremely close, so close that it felt like they might suck you right into their mouths. Highly recommended!
Ami was the perfect guide - she was so friendly and knowledgeable. As first timers at snorkelling, we felt very comfortable and had a great experience. She took great photos and videos for us to keep too! Would definitely recommend Ami to everyone!
very good experience. we can have close look to whale shark! the coach is helpful. only thing to improve is to have lesser group per trip. that’s too many people joining at the same time, so we can’t take nice photos!
Be sure to see the whale sharks when you come to Okinawa. The guide was so kind and took care of us in a small, personalized group.
Amazing experience, very friendly staff that helps you with everything, they also record you and give the recording to you for free at the end of the trip.
The Chinese-speaking dive guide was very patient and professional, and my child had an amazing first snorkeling experience.
