Ishigaki Island snorkling

Oplevelse: Hvis det er første gang, man besøger Ishigaki og har mere tid til at snorkle igen, vil dette blive anbefalet. Først tager man til Taketomi-øen for at snorkle. Desværre var sigtbarheden lav den dag, så det var ikke muligt at se koraller og fisk tydeligt fra vandoverfladen. Heldigvis dykkede guiden Chloe ned og tog klarere billeder og mødte Limo! Denne aktivitet varer omkring 45 minutter, hvorefter man tager til Dream Island. Man går i land for at beundre/fotografere i cirka 30 minutter, hvorefter man vender tilbage. Den samlede tur varer omkring 3 timer.

Det var en ubeskriveligt fantastisk oplevelse! Vores guide var meget afslappet og talte fremragende engelsk. Prisen var meget rimelig, men minderne er absolut uvurderlige. Jeg kan varmt anbefale dette til alle, der stadig tøver!

We drove for about 30 minutes to a snorkeling spot in the north and went snorkeling. It rained in the morning, but by the time we gathered, the rain had stopped, so it didn't interfere with snorkeling. Even though it had rained, the water was clear, and we had a lot of fun. The guide who led us was incredibly kind. When I told them I was too tired to attend in the afternoon, they understood, but expressed regret that I would miss the 'Fantasy Island' as it's a difficult place to visit. I was very grateful for their understanding. It was a lot of fun, thank you.

Natsune og Haruka var fantastiske! Super venlige og sørgede for, at alle på turen blev godt passet på! Børnene nød deres første rigtige snorkeloplevelse! Vi så tre havskildpadder! Instruktør: professionel og venlig Udstyr: alt var klargjort! Vi skulle bare medbringe os selv, vand og håndklæder!

Jeg havde ikke troet, at dette ville være den bedste halvdagstur i hele Sydøstasien. Vandet var krystalklart, og vi så masser af koraller og fisk. En halv dag var lige tilpas, guiden var venlig og kørte os endda tilbage til hotellet. Kan klart anbefales.

Denne aktivitet kan trygt deltage i, selv for dem, der ikke kan svømme. Første gang man prøver det, kan man føle sig lidt usikker, men Kobayashi-san forklarede tålmodigt hvert trin og sikkerhedsforanstaltning, hvilket beroligede os meget. Kobayashi-san, dykkeren og bådføreren var alle meget venlige. Når man går under vandet, kan man opleve en let ringen for ørerne (varierer fra person til person), men det påvirker ikke aktiviteten. Så snart man kommer ned i vandet, føles det som at træde ind i en ny verden, og den oprindelige nervøsitet forsvandt! Vejret på dagen, vi deltog, var overskyet, men selv da mødte vi smukke fiskestimer på havbunden. Tiden under vandet var cirka 20-25 minutter. Dykkeren hjalp med at tage flotte billeder! Halsen og opad kommer næsten ikke i kontakt med vandet, så selv folk med makeup kan trygt deltage med makeup på! Kan varmt anbefales! 👍🏻

Though the weather was bad with sudden raining, the the guide Chloe can well communicate made me feel safe. She was very nice and caring for the participants, kept checking the status of everyone with nice pacing. It made me feel safe in the sea. The experience is good for foreigners, the tour guides can communicate in English quite well. Thanks for everything. Overall, the event is highly recommended!

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!

This trip was incredibly enriching! The group had several crew members assigned to different smaller groups, which made even those of us who can't swim feel completely safe and comfortable. A special thanks to Akari, our snorkeling guide, for her meticulous care and for giving us an amazing snorkeling experience! These were truly the most stunning coral reefs I've ever seen, so close it felt like deep-sea diving! She also took so many beautiful photos for us; I highly recommend her! The morning kayaking scenery was also incredibly beautiful (it would have been even more perfect with more mangrove views). Our guide, Shuto, was equally enthusiastic about capturing everyone's wonderful moments, leaving us with great memories! Finally, Phantom Island Beach is definitely a must-visit spot; the 'jellyfish sea' there is absolutely dreamy!
