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!

We drove for about 30 minutes to a snorkeling spot in the north and went snorkeling. It rained in the morning, but by the time we gathered, the rain had stopped, so it didn't interfere with snorkeling. Even though it had rained, the water was clear, and we had a lot of fun. The guide who led us was incredibly kind. When I told them I was too tired to attend in the afternoon, they understood, but expressed regret that I would miss the 'Fantasy Island' as it's a difficult place to visit. I was very grateful for their understanding. It was a lot of fun, thank you.

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!

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!

Even those who can't swim can confidently participate in this activity. It's natural to feel a bit nervous the first time, but Mr. Kobayashi patiently explained each step and safety measure, which put us at ease. Mr. Kobayashi, the diver, and the boat driver were all very friendly. When entering the water, you might feel a slight ringing in your ears (this varies from person to person), but it doesn't affect the activity. Once you're in the ocean, it's like entering a new world, and any initial nervousness disappears! The weather on the day we participated was cloudy, but even so, we still encountered beautiful schools of fish underwater. We spent about 20-25 minutes in the water. The diver will help take great photos! Your neck and head will mostly stay out of the water, so even if you're wearing makeup, you can participate with confidence! Highly recommended! 👍🏻

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!

Though the weather was bad with sudden raining, the the guide Chloe can well communicate made me feel safe. She was very nice and caring for the participants, kept checking the status of everyone with nice pacing. It made me feel safe in the sea. The experience is good for foreigners, the tour guides can communicate in English quite well. Thanks for everything. Overall, the event is highly recommended!

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!
