Ishigaki Island स्नॉर्कलिंग

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!

यह गतिविधि बिना तैरना जानने वाले लोग भी निश्चिंत होकर कर सकते हैं। पहली बार यह गतिविधि करते समय थोड़ा डर लगना स्वाभाविक है, लेकिन कोबायाशी जी ने बहुत ही धैर्य के साथ हर एक चरण और सुरक्षा उपायों के बारे में समझाया, जिससे काफी राहत मिली। कोबायाशी जी, गोताखोर और नाव के चालक सभी बहुत मिलनसार हैं। पानी में उतरते समय कानों में हल्की सी सनसनाहट महसूस हो सकती है (यह व्यक्ति-दर-व्यक्ति भिन्न हो सकता है), लेकिन इससे गतिविधि पर कोई असर नहीं पड़ता। समुद्र के पानी में प्रवेश करते ही ऐसा लगा मानो हम किसी नई दुनिया में आ गए हों, और हमारा सारा तनाव छूमंतर हो गया! जिस दिन हमने हिस्सा लिया, उस दिन मौसम बादल छाए रहने वाला था, लेकिन इसके बावजूद हमें समुद्र की गहराई में बहुत सुंदर मछलियाँ देखने को मिलीं। समुद्र के अंदर का समय लगभग 20-25 मिनट का था। गोताखोर सुंदर तस्वीरें खींचने में मदद करते हैं! गर्दन से ऊपर का हिस्सा शायद ही कभी पानी के संपर्क में आता है, इसलिए जिन लोगों ने मेकअप किया है वे भी बिना किसी चिंता के मेकअप के साथ इसमें शामिल हो सकते हैं! अत्यधिक अनुशंसित 👍🏻

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 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!

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.
