Okinawa Prefecture
Okinawa, Japan’s southern island paradise, is famed for its turquoise seas, subtropical climate, and rich Ryukyu heritage. Beyond its stunning beaches, the main island offers world-class diving, vibrant coral reefs, and historic sites like Shuri Castle and the Nakijin and Nakagusuku Castle Ruins. Visitors can explore traditional villages, lush forests, and unique cultural experiences year-round. Okinawa’s food scene is equally captivating, featuring local specialties such as Okinawa Soba and slow-braised Rafutee. With its blend of natural beauty, history, and warm island hospitality, Okinawa promises an unforgettable journey in every season.

Nice experience ever in Okinawa. 👍It was absolutely worth the money—truly one of the best experiences I had in Okinawa. Even if you miss everything else on your itinerary, make sure you don’t miss this. You won’t regret it. The instructor was also incredibly kind and friendly.👍
돈이 아깝지 않은 최고의 경험이었어요. 오키나와에서 다른 일정 다 놓쳐도 이거는 꼭 해보세요. 후회 안합니다. 강사도 매우 친절함👍

It was a first time experience for both me and my girlfriend. When we arrived we first thought we might have overestimated ourselves seeing all the gear and the ocean down below. Thanks to our guide Emma though, the fear and unease quickly disappeared as she prepared us physically and mentally to get our mind blown! She instructed us gently but clearly and let us get used to the new situation. What she showed us underwater was unreal and we would recommend to anybody wanting to come here to experience Okinawas unique underwater world to go with these guys. The pictures we got to commemorate this trip are also phenomenal! Thanks again for making to make these memories possible!

Great experience, just need to head to the counter at the port and the staff will issue the ferry tickets accordingly. likewise when we reached Tokashiki Island, there was someone to pick us up. itinerary wise is quite relax as our snorkeling was at 12.30pm, so we had some time to spend at the beautiful beach since we reached around 10.15am. snorkeling experience was great too for a first timer like myself - all the equipment was provided and the instructors were experienced to show us where to look for turtles and fishes etc. was very lucky that the waters were clear and we could see many fishes too!

I book this trip on Okinawa pass 76. aud for 2 activities, It’s a small group snorkeling( that’s sloth was only 6 people including me) that’s so nice , on that day was so windy so we can’t go snorkeling at Blue cave so we went to Ura-Meada beach nearby , still the great experience for my first snorkeling in Japan.
experience:for who are coming alone you I recommend to book via Okinwa pass to Join the group.
instructor: “Aka” so helpful and English fluently speaking.
location: who wants to put their belongings , you need to use coin locker, cost 200yen and only can open once.Once I don’t know it will take money when just open the locker so I end up with paying extra 400yen for locker 😫😫 I suggest to provided locker for the visitors would be nicer 😄,

Being January, the middle of winter, I was worried about the cold and hesitated, but I chose this tour and it was absolutely perfect! I received kind instructions via email and WhatsApp the day before the tour, and they provide all snorkeling equipment (mask, wetsuit, diving boots, and short fins), so all you need to bring is a swimsuit and towel. We met at the 2nd parking lot of Shigi beach, put on wetsuits, moved to the beach, listened to some precautions, and then entered the water to put on the remaining equipment. After receiving the meticulous service of providing anti-fog medicine for the snorkeling mask, the tour begins in earnest! The underwater environment is clear and clean, so you can enjoy it with a clear view!! I was able to spend a fun and happy time meeting sea turtles and tropical fish like Nemo while listening to the kind and passionate guide Mayu's skilled leading and guidance!!! In particular, guide Mayu showed great activity with excellent English skills and constantly checking the safety of the group, as well as leaving wonderful memories with amazing underwater photography, and it was a perfect experience with the added consideration of providing warm water after the tour!!!! Thank you Mayu! If you want to go on a snorkeling tour in Miyakojima, don't hesitate and apply here! Definitely!

Had a fantastic family trip (with our 9-year-old) to the Kerama Islands today (18/9/25). Booking was seamless, even just two days out. The crew was perfectly prepared for our child with correctly sized gear.
Safety is their top priority: they provided personal safety devices, had 5 instructors for small groups, and an instructor always had a buoy in the water for support. We felt completely safe.
We saw tons of fish and got great photos. No turtles today, but it was still an amazing day thanks to the extremely kind staff. Onboard facilities like a shower and free water were a great plus.
The staff was extremely kind and professional. We can't recommend this tour enough.

We had an overall great experience with pink mermaid!!
We had booked a snorkeling and diving tour and it was better than we could have imagined. Both instructors spoke very good English and guided us safely through the blue cave. Especially for scuba diving as it was our first time diving Sasha was very kind and patient with us - I felt safe at all times!

Snorkeling in Miyakojima in winter! And I even met such a pretty and cute turtle ^-^ I was worried about the weather, so I kept hesitating, but I made a last-minute reservation the day before. Thanks to the kind guidance and care, I had a very enjoyable time with my children! They also took really pretty pictures from time to time, so I think it will be a very memorable experience! Thank you ^-^ Best of luck with your business!!

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!
