Okinawa Prefecture Snorkeling

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.

experience: Our family of four booked the snorkeling small group via Klook Okinawa pass 3 days before we arrived because it was Golden Week and fills up fast. It was definitely worth the pre-planning and booking. It was our kids ages 7 & 9 first time snorkeling so safety and a certified instructor was a must for us. We had a fantastic instructor who was so patient with our kids and made it lots of fun. He even gave us food to feed the fish and took photos and videos for us to have as keepsakes. They will provide wet suits and shoes and snorkel equipment. Just bring a towel, and 200 yen for a shower and a change of clothes/shoes. We loved this and highly recommend it!

We recommend adding them on Line beforehand. Then, use the Google Maps link on your booking confirmation to drive to the destination parking lot. You'll find their company's small van at the exit. The instructor is very hospitable and speaks English. The underwater scenery is beautiful with lots of fish, but it might have been a bit crowded since it was a Saturday.

Highly recommended! Anyone visiting Okinawa should definitely go to the Blue Cave, and this tour provides excellent service. Our guide, AKA, took great care of us and captured beautiful photos and videos. We went as a family of three (parents and child), and our child absolutely loved it. AKA also took wonderful care of our child. Everything felt very safe. I highly recommend this to anyone!

It was an amazing activity which made my Okinawa trip memorable!!! We went on a rainy day but luckily the rain stopped during our snorkel. The water was so clear and fishes swam around us . The coach was very patient and took good care of us alongside taking beautiful pictures/videos for us. The only unfortunate thing happened was that my dad couldn’t go at the end for he’s over-aged (above 58) - I overlooked the terms and conditions before I booked. Overall this event is highly value for money and I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Okinawa!!

what a wonderful way to experience Okinawa and Onna with Pink Mermaid! we love Miyu (hope I spelled correctly), she guided us as a family in the water was conscious of the reefs and importantly took so many beautiful videos and photos of all of us! We could not have done this ourselves since from our perspective the water looked cloudy, however the GoPro proved differently! thank you Pink Mermaid and Miyu for making amazing memories for our family. While this was supposed to be blue cave, the weather/wind did not allow for it, but it worked out because we wanted to see more diverse fish and reef anyway! you would not get to experience this at the blue caves!

The trip was wonderful: everything was quick, you don't even notice the heat, everyone was very polite, and the guides were simply amazing (they showed us everything, told us stories, helped with masks and fins, and even brought up starfish from the seabed). We felt like we were in the movie "The Little Mermaid."

It was an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide, Mashi, enthusiastically took amazing photos and took us to sea turtle spots, Nemo spots, coral and fish swarm spots, and more, which was fantastic 👍 Especially seeing one turtle as soon as we got in and then seeing three at once at the end 😍 I highly recommend it! Haha. He could communicate in English and spoke a little Korean, so it was easy to enjoy. He checked on our condition frequently, so you can enjoy it even if you don't know Japanese! After the experience, he immediately AirDropped the photos, which was great. He took continuous photos, so there were a lot of good ones to choose from haha. I was worried about being cold, but it wasn't cold at all, it was perfect. I think I'll come back to Miyakojima for snorkeling! It's worth it just for this.

Yuri was our guide, and honestly, he made the whole experience! Super friendly right from the start, and his energy was so warm and reassuring, especially for beginners like us. We felt completely safe the whole time. We were in a small group, which we really liked, it made everything feel more personal. What really stood out was how hard he worked to get us great photos. He'd dive down several feet, hold his position, and blow these big bubble rings just to frame the shot. The water depth was perfect too, shallow enough that we could hover right over the coral and watch all the fish doing their thing with zero effort. There were other people swimming around, but Yuri made it easy to spot him and regroup whenever we needed. We’re so happy with the experience!
