Kerama Islands Snorkeling with Pick-up from Designated Spots in Naha

I booked a Kerama Islands snorkeling plus sea turtle swimming package via Klook, with Miegusuku Port as the meeting point. I self drove so I did not use the provided pick up service, and parking at the port is chargeable. Check in started around 8.20am. Onboard, all equipment such as wetsuits, masks, fins, and life jackets were provided, along with a safety briefing and optional add ons like banana boat rides, jet ski activities, and GoPro rental. The boat reached the snorkeling site in about 20mins, where we entered the water in guided groups. After an initial session and a short break on the yacht with tea provided, participants split into different activity groups. The sea turtle experience involved a short banana boat ride to a nearby spot, where staff first checked for turtles before we snorkelled in the area, followed by additional free snorkeling nearby. We returned to the yacht around 11.00am and arrived back at port at about 11.50am, with equipment cleaned on board.

My first time snorkeling, and in such a beautiful place! The staff provided excellent service; even though they were Japanese, there were no communication issues. There were Chinese versions of the safety instructions on the boat, and everyone was very nice. It's a well-organized team. The seawater was crystal clear. You absolutely must choose the sea turtle swimming experience; the staff can guide you to a more distant spot. The best part is that I actually saw sea turtles swimming below – I was so lucky! The good weather was a huge bonus. I hope to have the chance to visit again. Next time, I'd love to go scuba diving with an oxygen tank.

It was a bit confusing for the meeting point at the port since we arrived earlier at 8am. You need to wait near entrance of the parking lot for the staff to arrive around 8:15-8:20 with the boat and their blue NEWS shirt. Then, as we had booked parasailing, we had to leave with another company on another boat first. No toilet on this smaller boat, but they have a toilet on the bigger snorkeling boat. Once we were set, the experience for parasailing and snorkeling went smoothly. It was a great day with magnificent views over and undersea. The staff takes free photos with their phones/underwater camera for you. You can download them on their website afterwards which is a plus! Just be sure to have anti-nausea medication: the boat rides are very rough. We had no issue with safety. The snorkeling boat was well equipped.

GOOD experience! Would recommend staying at one of the hotels that have pick up services available, so it’s more convenient. Or you can probably drive to the port yourself too, there’s a huge carpark at the port. Staff are all very friendly and nice. Instructions were in Japanese, but you can easily follow by looking at their actions and what other people are doing. There’s quite a lot of time to snorkel as we didn’t sign up for any additional water activities. It was fun. We paid an additional 3300 yen to rent the GoPro and took a lot of photos and videos. There’s space onboard to change. There’s two toilets onboard too, and there is also a showering facility onboard but have to use the water sparingly so that everyone can shower. Bring motion sickness medicine if you get sea sick easily, as the waves can be quite choppy and I vomitted oops. Overall still a good experience and I would still go again!

Although the staff only speak Japanese, it wasn't difficult to understand the snorkeling precautions through body language and printed multilingual instructions. The snorkeling equipment was of good quality and clean. The seawater was very blue, clear, and refreshing but not cold, and there was a lot of marine life. A great experience!

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.

The water is quite deep, so there are limitations to what you can see while snorkeling. Still, it was a good experience. After the activity, there isn't a separate changing time, so you just pack up and change in the restroom. You can also disembark in your swimsuit. They do take photos for you, but there isn't much worth keeping, so I recommend bringing your own equipment or renting some. You can also pay for additional activities on-site after you've finished them. **Experience:** I didn't see any turtles. The guides don't point them out; you have to find them yourself. There were more fish in the area where we went to look for turtles. It might be worth paying extra for. If you stray too far, they'll call you back. Those who can't swim can hold onto a tube, and those who can swim are free to explore. **Location:** It's close by. If you take motion sickness medication when you board the bus in Naha, it's perfect for the 30-minute ride. The boat ride is quite long and bumpy, so be sure to take it. **Safety:** You don't need to worry about safety; they take very good care of you. **Instructors:** The staff are cheerful and friendly. **Equipment:** The equipment shows some signs of wear. Since you only use it for a short time, I just used it as is. They have snorkeling masks with prescription lenses, so you don't need to wear contacts. Anti-fog solution is also provided.

Everyone was very kind, starting with the pickup service, and the information provided in various languages made us feel comfortable. However, it was a bit disappointing that there were no underwater photos from snorkeling; it seemed they took more pictures if you participated in other activities. Other than that, although the explanations were in Japanese, there were English and Korean signs, which was helpful. If you choose the turtle-watching option, you'll take a boat to another location!

Absolutely amazing experience! The team took safety very seriously, which I really appreciated and made me feel comfortable throughout the tour. They guided us to the best snorkeling spots, and I was lucky enough to see three turtles, including one extra-large turtle, as well as plenty of other marine life. The guides were friendly, professional, and clearly knew the area well. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Okinawa. I’ll definitely be booking with the same team again when I return. Thank you so much for such a wonderful and memorable experience!

Tour was really well run, everything left on time and was structured and clear. Boat was stable and had adequate facilities, facilitators are fun and experienced to keep everyone safe. Able to rent your personal Go Pro for extra charge with unlimited photos/videos that you can get right after the end of the trip. Alternatively they take photos of the whole group and small groups at random and upload them to their website by end of day for free. Other additional activities available for add-on, we managed to spot sea turtles with this one. Great experience and would highly recommend!
