Coses a fer a Miyakojima Island

We're so glad we made wonderful memories in Miyakojima! We ended up booking last minute for a same-day tour. It was great fun exploring with our tour guide, Blonde Taichi, seeing over four hermit crabs and coconut crabs, and discovering various insects. The kids really enjoyed it. Thank you, Blonde Taichi, for kindly and entertainingly guiding us, even to the beautiful stars! ♡

Vam fer una excursió de snorkel absolutament increïble amb Nao! Vam tenir la sort de nedar al costat de tortugues marines, i hi havia molts peixos de colors a la platja de Waiwai. Nao va ser increïblement amable, atenta i ens va fer sentir segurs durant tota l'experiència. A més, les fotos fetes durant l'excursió van ser fantàstiques! Va ser el millor del nostre viatge a Miyakojima. Recomano molt fer una excursió amb Nao a qualsevol persona que visiti l'illa! ★★★★★

This impromptu trip brought us so many touching moments! Our tour guide Lean is a lively and enthusiastic Australian woman. In just over an hour, she led us to find 6 coconut crabs (including Frank!), countless hermit crabs, as well as various insects such as stick insects, scarab beetles, and moths. She also introduced us to some of the local plants. If we didn't have a professional guide leading the way through this mysterious and pristine secret trail, we would never have dared to come on our own. But please don't be afraid! When you reach the stargazing platform at the very end, you are greeted by a sky full of stars that you can never see in the city—it is truly breathtaking and moving 🥹 Not only does Lean help take amazing photos, but she also shares her favorite hidden spots, filling the entire journey with laughter ☺️ Highly recommended!

Yoshi is so kind, patient, extremely warm, and always smiling. He kept encouraging us the whole time. He took so many photos for us—he's super professional yet makes everything so fun!

Writing - I had a truly unforgettable snorkeling experience in Miyakojima! 🐢💙 I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming, and I am so grateful that they captured it nicely on video. The drone shots in particular were simply breathtaking! 😍 I was amazed at how stunning the view from above the ocean could be. It was no problem at all doing this with my 5-year-old and 10-year-old children. Thanks to Kosei-san's guidance and attentive service, we had an even more wonderful time. I think I will be able to cherish the beautiful waters of Miyakojima and these special moments for a long time to come. Top-notch snorkeling and top-notch videos! I'm leaving Miyakojima with wonderful memories. 👍🌊

This SUP experience was such an amazing one!! Leanne, who was my guide was a fellow Australian and it was so fun talking to her while we paddled around Imgyaa Marine Garden. Her instructions with how to hold the paddle and how to go forward and back were so clear that it made my first time super easy! I had the best time and even made a friend with another solo traveler and we ended up having dinner together.

Després de no aconseguir trobar les tortugues i en Nemo pel nostre compte, ho vaig buscar ràpidament i vaig fer la reserva. El meu fill tenia moltes ganes de veure tortugues i en Nemo, i era el desig principal d'aquest viatge. Com que parleu anglès, ens vam poder comunicar fàcilment mentre fèiem busseig de superfície (snorkelling). Com que tant jo com el meu fill tenim molta por, estava preocupada des d'abans de sortir, però em va agradar molt que prioritzéssiu la seguretat per damunt de tot. Vam anar al mateix equip amb una família japonesa i un noi que viatjava sol, i la resta del grup va ser molt amable i agradable. I per fi vam veure en Nemo i les tortugues. Quina sort! 😍 Vam crear un record meravellós tots tres, i vull agrair a en Ken, el nostre guia, que tingués tanta cura de nosaltres. Thank you so much Ken! 😄😄

We had wonderful Ten for our snorkeling session. He was friendly, patient and a real talented photographer too. We have the best photos from our trip with him. Please request Ten if you value the memories from your trip. He made sure we are all safe, happy and well looked after at all times. It's not easy coordinating photos with a family but he made it effortless. If I'm ever coming back to Miyakojima, I'll be sure to book with him again. He also recommended us some very very good places to eat and drink. All bangers with locals and visitors alike. Thank you a million times, Ten. You made this trip super memorable for us. If you ever doubt the sincerity of this review, just look at the photos and decide for yourselves.
