Ishigaki Island snorkeling

Experience: If it's your first time visiting Ishigaki and you have more time for another snorkeling trip, I would recommend this. First, we went snorkeling near Taketomi Island. Unfortunately, the visibility was low that day, so we couldn't clearly see the coral and fish from the surface. Luckily, our guide Chloe free-dove and captured clearer images, even encountering Limo! This activity lasted about 45 minutes before we headed to Yumejima (Dream Island). We spent about 30 minutes on the island for close-up viewing/photography before returning. The total trip was approximately 3 hours.

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!

Natsune and Haruka were amazing! super friendly and made sure everyone in the tour were well looked after! The kids enjoyed their first proper snorkel experience! we saw three sea turtles! 教練：professional and friendly 設備：all prepared for! just needed to bring ourselves, water and towels!

This trip was incredibly enriching! The group had several crew members assigned to different smaller groups, which made even those of us who can't swim feel completely safe and comfortable. A special thanks to Akari, our snorkeling guide, for her meticulous care and for giving us an amazing snorkeling experience! These were truly the most stunning coral reefs I've ever seen, so close it felt like deep-sea diving! She also took so many beautiful photos for us; I highly recommend her! The morning kayaking scenery was also incredibly beautiful (it would have been even more perfect with more mangrove views). Our guide, Shuto, was equally enthusiastic about capturing everyone's wonderful moments, leaving us with great memories! Finally, Phantom Island Beach is definitely a must-visit spot; the 'jellyfish sea' there is absolutely dreamy!

I never imagined this would be the highest quality half-day tour in all of Southeast Asia. The water was crystal clear, and we saw so many corals and fish. A half-day was just the right amount of time, and the guide was friendly and even drove us back to our hotel. Highly recommended!

Best tour on the island! Highly recommended! We booked a full-day tour (morning SUP, afternoon boat snorkelling) with two different guides. We were able to communicate well in English without any problems, and the small group size (6–7 people per guide) ensured everyone was well looked after. The itinerary was very convenient. The guide drove us to the pier for lunch between sessions. Note that morning group mates may change for the afternoon since some only join for half-day tours. As the only full-day participants, we skipped showers after SUP since we didn't fall in and went straight to lunch. An unexpected highlight was the photography. The guides took fantastic candid shots while we paddled. Despite starting at 9:00 AM, we received all photos by 10:00–11:00 PM the same day. Extremely prompt service! An incredible experience overall.

Amazing Tour with Superb Guides (IROHA & KENGO)! I joined the "Ishigaki Island: Phantom Island & Blue Cave Snorkeling (1-Day Tour)" and had a fantastic experience. I want to give a special shout-out to our guides, IROHA and KENGO. They were both absolutely wonderful! Their English was excellent and very easy to understand, which made the whole tour smooth and enjoyable. They were incredibly enthusiastic, passionate, and took great care of everyone in the group. You could really tell they put their hearts into guiding us and making sure we had a great time. A huge thank you to IROHA: I accidentally left my hat on the tour vehicle, and she went out of her way to personally deliver it to my hotel. That level of care and thoughtfulness went above and beyond my expectations. Special thanks to KENGO as well for taking so many great photos for me throughout the trip—I really appreciate it! Overall, a highly recommended tour, largely thanks to I&K professionalism and warm hospitality!

It was such a fun tour!! the team is great and pictures underwater came out so good! super happy we did this in ishigaki it’s a must !!!

Due to the typhoon, our itinerary changed, so instead of snorkeling in Hamajima, we went on a Miyara River canoe tour. We had originally booked the Miyara River canoe tour for yesterday, but it was canceled due to the typhoon, which was disappointing. However, thanks to the itinerary change, we were able to experience it, which was great. I'm grateful for our guide Akari's kind explanations and guidance, which allowed me, despite the language barrier, to enjoy the activity without any difficulties. I highly recommend the Miyara River canoe tour, especially with my 17-year-old son.
