Ishigaki Island snorkling

Opplevelse: Hvis det er ditt første besøk til Ishigaki og du har mer tid, anbefales det å snorkle en gang til. Først drar vi for å snorkle nær Taketomi-øya. Dessverre var sikten lav den dagen, så vi kunne ikke se koraller og fisk tydelig fra vannoverflaten. Heldigvis dykket guiden Chloe ned og tok klarere bilder og møtte Limo! Denne aktiviteten varer i omtrent 45 minutter, deretter drar vi til Dream Island. Vi går i land for å se/fotografere på nært hold i omtrent 30 minutter før vi returnerer. Hele turen varer i omtrent 3 timer.

Det var en ubeskrivelig fantastisk opplevelse! Guiden vår var veldig avslappet og snakket utmerket engelsk. Prisen var svært rimelig, men minnene er helt uvurderlige. Jeg anbefaler dette på det sterkeste til alle som fortsatt er usikre!

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 og Haruka var fantastiske! Supervennlige og sørget for at alle på turen ble godt tatt vare på! Barna nøt sin første ordentlige snorkleopplevelse! Vi så tre havskilpadder! Instruktør: profesjonell og vennlig Utstyr: alt var klart! Trengte bare å ta med oss selv, vann og håndklær!

Jeg hadde aldri trodd at dette var den beste halvdagsturen i hele Sørøst-Asia. Vannet var krystallklart, og vi så masse koraller og fisk. En halvdag var akkurat passe, guiden var vennlig og kjørte oss til og med tilbake til hotellet. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

Denne aktiviteten kan trygt delta på selv om man ikke kan svømme. Første gang man prøver noe slikt, er det naturlig å føle seg litt usikker, men Kobayashi-san forklarte hvert trinn og alle sikkerhetstiltakene veldig tålmodig, noe som gjorde oss mye roligere. Kobayashi-san, dykkeren og båtføreren var alle veldig vennlige. Når man går under vann, kan man oppleve en lett øresus (varierer fra person til person), men dette påvirker ikke aktiviteten. Så snart vi kom ned i vannet, var det som å komme inn i en ny verden, og den opprinnelige spenningen forsvant! Været den dagen vi deltok, var overskyet, men selv da møtte vi vakre fiskestimer på havbunnen. Tiden under vann var omtrent 20-25 minutter. Dykkeren hjalp til med å ta flotte bilder! Halsen og hodet kommer nesten ikke i kontakt med vannet, så selv de som har sminke på, kan trygt delta med sminken intakt! Anbefales på det sterkeste! 👍🏻

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!

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!

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!
