Miyako Island Sea Turtle Snorkeling & Beach SUP or Canoe 1-Day/Half-Day Experience (Okinawa)

This experience truly exceeded my expectations! I don't have much experience with water activities, but I was able to participate safely and enjoyably. I especially recommend experiencing both snorkeling and SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). You can enjoy the beauty of the sea from different perspectives. The transparency of the sea is like glass, and I was truly impressed to see so many creatures such as coral and fish. SUP was also very fun, and the time spent paddling while enjoying the scenery was the best. The staff took pictures for us, which allowed us to create wonderful memories. However, since there are other customers besides just one group, you may have to wait a bit when taking photos. I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle this time! However, encountering any creature is a matter of luck. If the weather is good, the beauty of this sea alone is worth it. I especially want to thank Kazu, who always greeted us with a smile. We are not Japanese, but his English was very good, and we were able to enjoy interacting with him. He is a wonderful leader who pays attention to each person and ensures that they can participate with peace of mind. Overall, you will definitely not regret this experience! If you are blessed with good weather and can encounter a sea turtle, it will be an unforgettable memory.

Overall, it was great. Most of the equipment is available for free rental, so you can come empty-handed and just enjoy. The instructor was kind and worked hard to take beautiful photos. The safety briefing before departure was also thorough. We were lucky this time with great weather, and we spotted four sea turtles while snorkeling. We were able to swim with them, and we are extremely satisfied. It was also very helpful that the child who couldn't snorkel was able to ride along on a pre-prepared floatie and join the departure. One area for improvement: participants would feel much more at ease if the skills of each member were sufficiently checked during practice before heading out to deep areas (deeper than one's height). Even with a life jacket on, going straight into deep water can be a bit scary for beginners. Thank you for a wonderful day tour, instructors Takuro and Soma!

We had an incredible day doing SUP and snorkeling on Miyako Island! Our guide Hana was absolutely amazing. She was super patient, carefully explained all safety tips and taught us how to use the equipment, perfect even for beginners. Hana kept checking on us in the water the whole time, making us feel safe and relaxed. We got to enjoy the stunning Miyako Blue sea, and she took many wonderful photos and videos for us. Hana is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. This tour is the highlight of our trip to Okinawa. We highly recommend! Thank you so much, Hana!

I recently participated in the half-day SUP and snorkeling activity and was very satisfied with the arrangements. First, the beach SUP. The instructor, Kyoka San, provided very professional guidance. She explained the key points and precautions on the shore before we went into the water. I had no prior SUP experience and had terrible balance, so I lacked confidence. Kyoka San was very patient in teaching and encouraging me. Within an hour, I progressed from not being able to balance at all and falling into the sea, to being able to stand stably on the board and paddle, enjoying the beautiful scenery. Kyoka San speaks fluent English, and we communicated very smoothly. She helped me take many beautiful photos and short Go Pro videos, for which I am very grateful. Looking back now, I still savor the experience! After that was the snorkeling activity. The instructor, Leon San, was very enthusiastic, and his fluent English instructions were very clear. We quickly saw sea turtles as soon as we got into the water, and he also took pictures throughout. There were corals and tropical fish of all kinds. Leon San also paid great attention to safety. He kept an eye on everyone's swimming pace, so everyone could easily keep up, and the safety float was also large, so you could lean on it at any time if you felt tired. Leon San also took many beautiful photos for everyone in the water, which was very enjoyable. In conclusion, this activity experience will make you want to book a plane ticket back to Miyako Island immediately. Both instructors were very friendly, and I am grateful to them for accompanying me on a wonderful half-day journey of sunshine and the sea.

The guide, Nori, was incredibly kind. Originally, the meeting point was set at a location far from my hotel, but Nori agreed to pick me up there and also dropped me off at the hotel after the trip. The overall experience was fantastic. Nori repeatedly emphasized safety throughout the tour, took many great photos for us, and we even got to see sea turtles!

I had an amazing time doing snorkeling and kayaking in Miyakojima! The whole experience was so fun and unforgettable. A big thank you to our guide Mayuko—she was incredibly patient, professional, and made us feel safe the entire time. She explained everything clearly, took great care of my husband, daughter and me, we really enhanced our adventure. Highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Miyakojima!

Guide was friendly and helpful. He took care of our safety. super fun and worth it. managed to capture nice sea turtles too.

This experience in Miyako Island, Okinawa was truly unforgettable! Waking up to the dreamy Tiffany blue waters, so clear they looked like jelly. Thanks to our instructor, so.ma. We first tried SUP paddleboarding, standing on the board and paddling across the calm sea, feeling the breeze and sunshine. The view was incredible, perfect for taking photos! No need to worry if you're a beginner, the instructor was very patient, and even newbies can pick it up easily. The snorkeling was an even bigger surprise! I didn't expect to encounter sea turtles, and they were swimming leisurely right beside us, as if they were playing with us. That feeling of interacting with marine life up close was so magical. Even if you can't swim, it's totally fine, because the professional instructor accompanies you throughout, making you feel completely safe. The entire activity was well-organized, with complete equipment, and the instructor even took beautiful photos for us, so worth it! Highly recommend to all friends visiting Miyako Island, this will definitely be the highlight of your trip!

Snorkeling and paddle boating (SUP) were both so much fun. The guide Mashi was really friendly and communicated well in English. She took great pictures at every spot and sent them to me right away. We also met sea turtles at the end, which was really great! The guide went around and found them for us. Paddle boating looked easy, but it was actually hard to keep your balance, which was fun. You start in a place like a lake and head out to the ocean. It was one of the best experiences in Miyakojima!

We recently participated in the half-day sea turtle snorkeling and SUP activity booked through Klook, and the overall experience was truly fantastic! Our guide, Jam, was incredibly patient and friendly. From the initial briefing to the activity itself, he took great care of everyone, making us feel very comfortable. Especially when we were out on the water, Jam constantly monitored our well-being and prioritized safety, which allowed even first-timers to participate with confidence. Although it was a bit windy and the sea conditions were slightly challenging that day, the entire trip was still a lot of fun, and both SUP and snorkeling were very enjoyable. The best part was that we actually saw sea turtles in the end! Being able to see sea turtles up close in such beautiful waters was truly moving and became one of the most unforgettable memories of this trip. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Miyakojima, and I'm very grateful to Jam for his care throughout, which helped us create such wonderful memories!
