Ishigaki Snorkel

La Natsune i la Haruka van ser increïbles! Super amables i es van assegurar que tothom al tour estigués ben atès! Els nens van gaudir de la seva primera experiència de snorkel de veritat! Vam veure tres tortugues marines! Entrenador: professional i amable Equipament: tot preparat! Només calia portar-nos a nosaltres mateixos, aigua i tovalloles!

Experience: If it's your first time visiting Ishigaki and you have more time for another snorkeling trip, I would recommend this. First, we went snorkeling near Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, the visibility was low that day, so we couldn't clearly see the coral and fish from the surface. Luckily, our guide Chloe free-dove and captured clearer images, even encountering Limo! This activity lasted about 45 minutes before we headed to Yumejima (Dream Island). We spent about 30 minutes on the island for close-up viewing/photography before returning. The total trip was approximately 3 hours.

Va ser una experiència increïble, sense paraules! El nostre guia era molt agradable i parlava un anglès excel·lent. El preu era molt raonable, però els records no tenen preu. Ho recomano molt a qualsevol que encara dubti!

Amazing Tour with Superb Guides (IROHA & KENGO)! I joined the "Ishigaki Island: Phantom Island & Blue Cave Snorkeling (1-Day Tour)" and had a fantastic experience. I want to give a special shout-out to our guides, IROHA and KENGO. They were both absolutely wonderful! Their English was excellent and very easy to understand, which made the whole tour smooth and enjoyable. They were incredibly enthusiastic, passionate, and took great care of everyone in the group. You could really tell they put their hearts into guiding us and making sure we had a great time. A huge thank you to IROHA: I accidentally left my hat on the tour vehicle, and she went out of her way to personally deliver it to my hotel. That level of care and thoughtfulness went above and beyond my expectations. Special thanks to KENGO as well for taking so many great photos for me throughout the trip—I really appreciate it! Overall, a highly recommended tour, largely thanks to I&K professionalism and warm hospitality!

Highly recommended if you come to Ishigaki 👍👍 Even if you're not a great swimmer, there's no pressure at all haha. Our guide, Sho, took us to amazingly beautiful spots and even to a sea turtle habitat. It felt like watching a Japanese movie set in Ishigaki, from the start of the tour and seeing the first sea turtle to exploring various gorgeous spots underwater—I was just so happy 😀 You spend about an hour in the water, and the underwater world is truly magnificent. There are no restrooms or convenience stores nearby, so it's a good idea to use the restroom and grab drinks beforehand! Thank you so much, Sho, for providing such a wonderful experience. I will definitely book a tour with Happy Marine Shop again next time! ☺️

Inesperadament, aquest és el que considero el tour de mig dia de més qualitat de tot el sud-est asiàtic. L'aigua és cristal·lina, es veuen molts corals i peixos, i el temps de mig dia és perfecte. El guia és amable i fins i tot ens va portar de tornada a l'hotel. Molt recomanable.

I visited Ishigaki Island again. Last time, due to a typhoon, our snorkeling trip was changed to kayaking. This time, I signed up for both activities. Kayaking was still a lot of fun; being among the mangroves felt very therapeutic. The only minor downside was that too many people were doing/starting the activity at the same time. This was my first time snorkeling in Ishigaki, and the water was incredibly clear. I saw many fish unique to Ishigaki Island, and I even encountered a sea turtle! I felt very lucky! However, a small incident occurred during the trip. I won't go into details, but I want to commend our guide, Isa, for her quick thinking, which allowed the rest of the group (including me) to continue the tour with another leader! Although I didn't get many memorable photos, I would definitely recommend this to friends visiting Ishigaki!

L'excursió d'avui ha estat molt completa! El grup comptava amb diversos membres de la tripulació encarregats de cuidar diferents grups, la qual cosa ens ha permès gaudir-ne amb total tranquil·litat a aquells de nosaltres que no sabem nedar. Un agraïment especial al guia d'esnórquel Akari per la seva atenció detallada, que ens ha brindat una experiència d'esnórquel fantàstica! Són realment les coralleres més impressionants que he vist mai, tan a prop que semblava que anéssim amb immersió autònoma! A més, ens ha fet un munt de fotos precioses; ho recomanem fermament! El paisatge en caiac del matí també ha estat bellíssim (hauria estat perfecte amb una mica més de paisatge de manglars). El guia Shuto també ha estat molt atent a l'hora de capturar moments meravellosos per a tothom, deixant-nos un record fantàstic! Finalment, la platja de l'Illa Fantàstica és un lloc d'obligada visita; aquest mar de color gelea és realment somniador!

A causa del tifó, el nostre itinerari va canviar i, en lloc de fer snorkel a Hamajima, vam fer una excursió en canoa pel riu Miyara. L'excursió en canoa pel riu Miyara estava originalment programada per ahir, però es va cancel·lar a causa del tifó, cosa que va ser una decepció. Però gràcies al canvi d'itinerari, vam poder gaudir-ne, i va ser fantàstic. Gràcies a les amables explicacions i la guia d'Akari, el guia, fins i tot jo, amb les meves limitacions lingüístiques, vaig poder participar en l'activitat sense dificultats. Recomano molt l'excursió en canoa pel riu Miyara amb el meu fill de 17 anys.
