Ishigaki Water activities

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!

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!

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!

Highly recommended if you come to Ishigaki 👍👍 Even if you're not a great swimmer, there's no pressure at all haha. Our guide, Sho, took us to amazingly beautiful spots and even to a sea turtle habitat. It felt like watching a Japanese movie set in Ishigaki, from the start of the tour and seeing the first sea turtle to exploring various gorgeous spots underwater—I was just so happy 😀 You spend about an hour in the water, and the underwater world is truly magnificent. There are no restrooms or convenience stores nearby, so it's a good idea to use the restroom and grab drinks beforehand! Thank you so much, Sho, for providing such a wonderful experience. I will definitely book a tour with Happy Marine Shop again next time! ☺️

Highly recommend Pipi Travel Agency! 🌿✨ I joined the mangrove kayaking tour this time, and the overall experience was fantastic! The tour guide, Aoi, was friendly and professional, providing detailed explanations of the mangrove ecology and natural environment along the way. The presentation was engaging and easy to understand, and it was bilingual in both Chinese and English, allowing travelers from different countries to easily participate. Best of all, Aoi also helped take photos, allowing us to enjoy the fun of kayaking with peace of mind and leaving us with wonderful travel memories. The entire trip not only allowed us to admire the beautiful natural scenery but also provided us with a wealth of ecological knowledge. Thank you to the tour guide for your attentive and enthusiastic leadership, which made this mangrove trip even more wonderful! Highly recommended to friends visiting Ishigaki Island who want to experience the natural ecosystem.

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!

Today’s weather was not good, but our tour guide, Buzz tried his best to teach us how to play canoe and the knowledge about mangroves. The scenery was beautiful, the tour was definitely worth to join. Overall, we enjoyed the experience very much😃

I visited Ishigaki Island again. Last time, due to a typhoon, our snorkeling trip was changed to kayaking. This time, I signed up for both activities. Kayaking was still a lot of fun; being among the mangroves felt very therapeutic. The only minor downside was that too many people were doing/starting the activity at the same time. This was my first time snorkeling in Ishigaki, and the water was incredibly clear. I saw many fish unique to Ishigaki Island, and I even encountered a sea turtle! I felt very lucky! However, a small incident occurred during the trip. I won't go into details, but I want to commend our guide, Isa, for her quick thinking, which allowed the rest of the group (including me) to continue the tour with another leader! Although I didn't get many memorable photos, I would definitely recommend this to friends visiting Ishigaki!
