Miyako District

Many thanks to Ken-chan for providing us with an unparalleled experience! Our family of three signed up for this tour, which included round-trip transportation! There were about seven or eight other people in our group, mostly Japanese! It was clear that everyone shared a love for insects and stargazing! Our guide, Ken-chan, is a very professional and handsome guy! He also speaks English! He led us to see plants, small lizards, geckos, butterflies, spiders, cicadas, coconut crabs, stick insects, and praying mantises on Miyakojima, providing very detailed and thorough explanations! In the latter half of the tour, he took us stargazing. We saw the Summer Triangle in the Northern Hemisphere's night sky, and the moon and Venus were incredibly close! The sky full of stars was beautiful! Ken-chan also took time-lapse photos for each group that signed up. If you come to Miyakojima, you absolutely must sign up for this tour; it will definitely create wonderful memories!

I originally planned to join a standard bus tour, but after looking at many itineraries, I felt that the time spent at each attraction was too short, lacking the relaxed feeling a tropical island trip should have. So, I ultimately chose a private tour, and after experiencing it, I feel it was well worth it. Before departure, I communicated via email and LINE to discuss the attractions I wanted to visit. The itinerary could be flexibly adjusted, which was very reassuring. Our private guide for the day, Ken-san, is a Japanese man who loves to travel and speaks excellent English. My English proficiency is quite basic, but he adapted to my level, communicating in simple, easy-to-understand English. When we encountered more difficult parts, he used translation software to show me the Chinese translation. The whole process was very thoughtful and stress-free, and he also helped take photos along the way. Before the tour ended, he recommended some great restaurants and even helped make reservations in Japanese over the phone, which was a huge bonus. Overall, it was a very comfortable, relaxed, and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for more flexibility in planning their itinerary.

After failing to find the turtles and Nemo on our own, we quickly searched and booked this tour. It was the top wish for this trip, as my child really wanted to see sea turtles and Nemo. The guide spoke English, so communication was easy while snorkeling. Since both I and my child are very timid, I was worried from the start, but I appreciated that safety was their top priority. We were grouped with a Japanese family and a solo male traveler, and our companions were very kind and great. And finally, we saw Nemo and sea turtles! We got super lucky 😍 We created wonderful memories as a family of three, and we are so grateful to our leader, Ken, for taking such good care of us! Thank you so much Ken! 😄😄

We had wonderful Ten for our snorkeling session. He was friendly, patient and a real talented photographer too. We have the best photos from our trip with him. Please request Ten if you value the memories from your trip. He made sure we are all safe, happy and well looked after at all times. It's not easy coordinating photos with a family but he made it effortless. If I'm ever coming back to Miyakojima, I'll be sure to book with him again. He also recommended us some very very good places to eat and drink. All bangers with locals and visitors alike. Thank you a million times, Ten. You made this trip super memorable for us. If you ever doubt the sincerity of this review, just look at the photos and decide for yourselves.

This tour is very great,Our tour guide Nazar provided detailed explanations and paid great attention to every detail throughout the trip. Highly recommended!非常推薦參加此活動，照片拍的也很清楚，教練也很nice又細心.

I signed up for the sea turtle snorkeling and canoe experience! Momo was in charge of the sea turtle snorkeling, and Julia handled the canoeing! Both of them were friendly and beautiful, making it an amazing experience!! 💃✨ I had trouble with the parking lot because it only accepted 1,000 yen bills, but they kindly held onto my luggage for me! For snorkeling, they even had an AED ready, and for those unsure about swimming, they would pull you along with a red float, which was very reassuring. ◎ They thoroughly checked our physical condition and took photos at each spot, making it perfect for creating memories 📷. First, we got used to the shallow water before moving to the deeper areas. They said sea turtles might not be there even on sunny days, but this time, it was sunny, and I was super lucky to swim with sea turtles ✌️. At the end, they provided plenty of water, which was a huge help since I was covered in seawater! Next, after a lunch break, everyone gathered for canoeing and SUP. A couple from Taiwan was there, and since Julia, who speaks four languages, was their guide, communication was incredibly smooth 😆. They clearly taught us how to paddle both canoes and SUPs, and everyone enjoyed themselves in their own way. ◎ Here too, they took videos for us and shared interesting facts about the rocks. Julia, with her vibrant energy, was the best! 🤩 I was lucky to meet Julia, as it was her last day working there!!! Overall, I'm so glad I booked this tour!! Thank you for so many wonderful memories!!!!!! (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

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!

Highly recommend Instructor Yusho! We had an unforgettable day today! Although we saw super cute clownfish in the morning, we didn't see any sea turtles. We didn't want to push it, thinking the instructor might be too tired, but to our surprise, after taking all the other guests out at 5 PM, Yusho-san was still willing to specially take us into the sea to look for sea turtles! The moment we saw the sea turtles, we were incredibly happy, and the photos the instructor took are unbelievably beautiful 😭😭 (seriously!). The instructor is professional, thoughtful, and dedicated. We will definitely look for him again next time we come to Miyakojima! Friends from Taiwan, you can't go wrong with Instructor Yusho! Yusho-san, thank you for the best experience! The clownfish in the morning were cute, but what touched us most was your hospitality. Even though you must have been tired after guiding so many guests until 5 PM, you still went out of your way to take us to the sea to look for sea turtles. Thanks to you, we were able to see the sea turtles we had longed for, and you took so many amazing photos for us; we are truly happy 😭😭. If you're coming to Miyakojima, I wholeheartedly recommend Yusho-san! We will definitely come back to see you again! Highly recommend Instructor Yusho! We had an unforgettable day. Although we saw cute clownfish in the morning, we missed the turtles. We didn't want to push it because we knew Yusho had been busy all day, but he incredibly offered to take us out again at 5 PM just to find them! Seeing the turtles was a dream come true, and the photos he took are absolutely stunning😭😭. Yusho is professional, dedicated, and so kind. If you’re visiting Miyakojima, he is the best! Can’t wait to come back!

An amazing experience and highly recommended! Although a few issues came up before the trip, Klook's customer support handled them promptly so our schedule wasn't disrupted. The tour guides were all very enthusiastic and happy to help with anything. Having a small number of guests per guide was fantastic! Thank you, Hinata-san...
