My family and I had a wonderful snorkeling experience. We saw many different kinds of fish,even sea snakes. Thanks to our tour guide,Akari. She did an amazing job. She showed us where the clownfish at and kept us safe during our tour.
I had Yuki for my snorkelling tour and honestly had an amazing time!! I had such an incredible experience on this snorkelling tour and couldn’t recommend it more highly🫶🏼 From start to finish, Yuki was so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the ocean and marine life. He made everyone feel comfortable and safe in the water while also keeping the whole experience so fun and relaxed. Yuki brought such a great energy to the tour and honestly made the whole day even better. He was hilarious, easy to talk to, and made sure everyone was having a good time the entire trip. You could really tell how much he loves what he does, and it made the experience feel so personal and memorable. Also he knew the best spots, we saw sea turtles, sea snakes and a lot of really interesting marine life which he recorded beautifully for us! Thank you so much again!! 🤍
It was raining before we left, and we were worried if we could dive smoothly, but our guide Akrai, with her rich experience, took us to Osaki Beach (Tachii Beach). We got to see sea turtles up close and the beautiful sea view. We are very grateful to Akrai for her kind and professional introduction to the local natural environment and for sharing her favorite restaurants and cafes, which made for a pleasant trip.
Amazing trip at all. Absolutely incredible snorkeling experience! The water was crystal clear, and the coral reefs were teeming with colorful marine. Besides, Tom, the guide was professional, friendly, and took us to the best spots on the reef. Felt safe and had an amazing time from start to finish."Highly recommend!" 體驗:
It was a speechlessly awesome experience! Our guide was very easygoing and spoke great English. The price was very reasonable, but the memories are absolutely priceless. I highly recommend this to anyone who is still hesitant!
A huge thank you to my guide, Yuki! As a non-swimmer trying snorkeling for the very first time, I really appreciated his warm enthusiasm and patient guidance. He even dove underwater to take photos for us, allowing me to witness the stunning beauty of the underwater world. It truly made for an unforgettable memory!
Had a great time with my guide Yuki! He was very knowledgeable about Ishigaki, teaching us about the island and gave us a good recommendation for dinner after snorkeling. He took plenty of photos with his waterproof camera and sent them to me after we got back. He gave easy to follow instructions in English and accommodated some people in our group that couldn't swim, dragging them along on a floatation device throughout the experience. He was even kind enough to get my shirt back to me after I forgot it in the car when he dropped me off at my hotel. 10/10 experience, highly recommend, the fish and coral were amazing!
Due to the forecast of high waves caused by the typhoon, we were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles instead of the Blue Cave. We were able to rent a snorkel, life jacket, marine shoes, and fins. We moved to the beach by car and walked towards the open sea. They explained how to use the snorkel. Even if you can't swim, they'll pull you along while you hold onto a float. After swimming for a short while, we were able to see sea turtles. There were also many other fish and sea cucumbers. When we returned, they had water ready for us to wash our hands and feet before getting in the car. There are covers on the seats, so you can sit there while wet. We enjoyed learning interesting facts about Ishigaki Island during the ride. We could choose to be dropped off at the port, hotel, or shower station. Since we were scheduled to return on an evening flight, we chose to be dropped off at the shower station, which allowed us to move efficiently.
I had an incredible snorkeling tour with Makoto from Ishigaki Adventure PiPi. Despite worrying about the weather, Makoto smoothly relocated us to beautiful Osaki Beach. As a nervous first-timer and non-swimmer, I felt completely safe under Makoto's expert and reassuring guidance. She led our small group with constant attention and care. The underwater world was breathtaking—vivid blue waters filled with colorful fish and sea turtles. Makoto also captured amazing photos and videos for us with her action camera, which was a fantastic personal touch. This tour was the absolute highlight of my cruise stop and has made me want to return to Ishigaki. Thank you, Makoto, for your outstanding professionalism and for creating such a wonderful, memorable experience. Highest recommendation!
Our guide, AKARI, is so kind! She was with us every step of the way for our snorkeling adventure. Thank you for taking photos and videos. We appreciate you helping us safely snorkel through the narrow coral paths and into the deeper areas! Thanks to you, we created truly fantastic family travel memories. We want to go again to the Blue Cave for snorkeling!! You definitely have to go, highly recommend!
