Things to do in Miyakojima Island

We're so glad we made wonderful memories in Miyakojima! We ended up booking last minute for a same-day tour. It was great fun exploring with our tour guide, Blonde Taichi, seeing over four hermit crabs and coconut crabs, and discovering various insects. The kids really enjoyed it. Thank you, Blonde Taichi, for kindly and entertainingly guiding us, even to the beautiful stars! ♡

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!

Our chartered car tour experience was fantastic! We booked a car for 5 hours and arranged to visit three attractions, and the timing worked out perfectly with no delays. Although our driver was Japanese, he was very kind and friendly, and communicating with him, even through gestures, was no problem at all. He always waited nearby at each attraction, which made us feel very secure. He even offered to help us take photos, which was really sweet! One of our stops was the Snow Salt Museum, and after enjoying some ice cream, we found a beautiful beach right next to it. We spent some time on the beach; the scenery was gorgeous, and the weather was lovely. The kids enjoyed wading in the water and playing in the sand, making for a delightful afternoon. Before heading to our last destination, the driver proactively took us to see Ikema Bridge, where we enjoyed the ocean view and the breeze – it was wonderful. This was a great chartered car experience, highly recommended!

A family of three, including a 7-year-old child, booked the tour. We traveled independently to the meeting point, and our guide, Ten, called us around our arrival time to provide directions, making it easy to find. This tour included a child who wasn't a strong swimmer, and we were quite worried because a storm hit on the day of the tour, causing strong waves. However, Ten explained everything in detail, from putting on the equipment to safety rules, using English and some basic Korean, which put us completely at ease. We saw three turtles at the turtle spot and took photos. Despite the storm and waves, Ten took excellent photos from great angles. We couldn't go to the Nemo spot because our child felt seasick and wanted to leave. Instead, Ten shared beautiful photos with us! Ten led us to the exit point, ensuring our safe return. We were grateful for the kind guidance, even though we had to travel a somewhat long distance back and forth due to another group joining us. After the tour, it was great to receive the photos immediately via AirDrop. The after-service was perfect, as Ten even sent recommendations for restaurants and tourist spots via KakaoTalk. Although the weather was disappointing, it was a tour that created unforgettable memories! I highly recommend it. A special thank you again to Ten for all the hard work!

We even saw two turtles, and Nemo and other fish were incredibly clear. My five-year-old, who can't swim yet, was able to participate by lying on a boat with a clear bottom, allowing him to see underwater. Our family of four went, and since it was a small group with only two families, the explanations were thorough, and our satisfaction was high. Instructor Coco, in particular, led us very well and took great care of those who were afraid of the water. It was such a good time that I'd love to do it again. The photos and short videos of each family member were taken with great care, one by one, and the resolution is high quality. They even took pictures of my second child from under the boat, which made him very happy even though he couldn't snorkel. Afterward, they gave us turtle-shaped medals, which the kids have been wearing all day. This activity far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend it!!!

the tour was great !! Our guide Ten was on time for pickup. Ten was very friendly and explain everything very well :) we had the chance to see a scorpion and a snake which is rare ! but also a big coconut crab and giant spiders 😆

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*)

Pros: Loved our tour of the Pumpkin Cave. Jumping off the pumpkin into the water fun! Kayaking was nice. Cons: We could not take our camera and had to rely on the photos they took for us. Unfortunately their pictures aren't super great, some turned out ok, but most were grainy. It was crowded. Group after group went into the pumpkin cave.
