【Passeio pelas Ilhas de Okinawa】Snorkeling e banho de mar em Kerama Tokashiki

Great experience, just need to head to the counter at the port and the staff will issue the ferry tickets accordingly. Likewise, when we reached Tokashiki Island, there was someone to pick us up. The itinerary was quite relaxed as our snorkeling was at 12:30 PM, so we had some time to spend at the beautiful beach since we arrived around 10:15 AM. The snorkeling experience was great too for a first-timer like myself - all the equipment was provided and the instructors were experienced in showing us where to look for turtles and fish, etc. We were very lucky that the waters were clear and we could see many fish too!

It was fun! Tokashiki Island has lockers, showers, restaurants, and cafes (prices are high due to it being a tourist spot). You can rent sunbeds and parasols, and it's cheaper if you go to the back rather than the sea entrance (between 2500 and 1500). Don't get ripped off at the front; go to the back.

The entire tour can be conducted in Chinese. There are other boat companies at the check-in counter, and it can be a bit overwhelming on-site. Just make sure to check in with the boat company you were notified about the night before. If you forget to bring motion sickness medication, adult and children's medicine is available for purchase at the check-in counter. After checking in, you will be given different colored wristbands according to your assigned snorkeling time. Staff will identify the wristbands for bus boarding and timing. The snorkeling session is about 40 minutes, with the instructor holding a floating tube, and everyone holding on, kicking their feet, and departing from the shore. The marine ecosystem is beautiful, with many fish, and it's a lot of fun; children also enjoy the experience. The curry rice provided for lunch is delicious; after snorkeling, you'll be very hungry, and it's very filling. The snorkeling equipment (goggles + snorkel + life vest + fins) can be kept for about 2 hours of free time, allowing you to self-snorkel at Aharen Beach. You can see fish and coral right from the shore, making for a fantastic view and activity!!!!

This was my first trip to Okinawa, and I planned a full day of water activities! I chose Klook's boat trip to Tokashiki Island for snorkeling and water play, which included equipment! Basic equipment: diving mask, snorkel, life vest, and fins. After gathering at 8:30 AM, we waited for everyone to check in, and then around 9:30 AM or 10:00 AM, we started boarding the boat. The boat ride to the island took about an hour and a half. The boat was very comfortable, not dizzying at all, and the cabin was clean. We then transferred to a shuttle bus to Aharen Beach. The beach was beautiful. After changing into our gear, we had free time to swim and snorkel, which was a lot of fun. The seawater was clean and clear, but unfortunately, most of the coral had bleached, which was a shame, but it was still truly beautiful, a beautiful white. When it was time to gather for snorkeling, we took the bus to the next spot. The coral at the dive site was much richer, and I was very lucky to see a sea turtle this time. However, the coral, sea anemones, and other marine life weren't particularly stunning, but the overall experience was good, and the seawater was truly, truly, truly clear and beautiful! Hmm! I didn't put much effort into taking photos while snorkeling, so don't expect anything amazing; it's just a memory with pictures. In fact, the underwater photos I took with my phone also turned out beautiful! (Oh! If I had known that only basic equipment was provided, I would have remembered to bring a diving wetsuit instead of just casually wearing a bikini into the water. I had a great time but also got extremely sunburnt...😅😅)

The beaches on Tokashiki Island were absolutely stunning! The snorkeling experience was super fun too. Our guide was great too, ensuring everyone was safe while also helping us spot wildlife during our tour. We were very lucky to catch two different turtles during our scheduled snorkel session. Highly recommend signing up for the snorkel/dive experience, as the corals and wildlife here are amazing!

I researched planning a day trip to Tokashiki myself with the ferry, shuttle, and snorkeling. When comparing, the value of this package versus the cost of doing it solo just made sense. Everyone we interacted with from the meeting room to the snorkeling experience to the bus, lunch, and boat staff were kind, professional, and helpful. I’ve lived in Okinawa for several years, and snorkeling Tokashiku Beach was one of my favorite snorkeling experiences to date due to the calm water and variety of ocean life and coral we were able to see. I was a little disappointed that the Klook page for this trip says that return times are at 4:25pm or 6:50pm, when in fact starting the return trip at 3:00pm seems to be standard operating procedure for the tour. A lot of time is understandably spent in organizing the different sub groups on the tour, so that only left about 1 hour for the snorkel experience, 1 hour at Aharen Beach, and 30 minutes for lunch. However, overall it was great experience!

I had such an amazing day! Snorkeling was a bit short but magical, saw so many fishes and a few turtles! Loved that they made pictures of everyone. Also the beach was so beautiful!!

This experience met my expectations; I wanted a relaxing beach day with no hassle, and that’s exactly what I got. It was straightforward and easy. Someone will pick you up at the port once you arrive on the island. The uncle who picked me up was so kind. I actually wanted to leave a bit earlier due to personal reasons, but they were not able to change the return time as the high-speed boat was already booked (understandable, but just make sure you are prepared to be on the beach for approximately 6-7 hours). Lunch was veggie curry + rice. There are many shops for drinks/food. I would still recommend bringing snacks and a couple of bottles of water. Umbrellas and chairs are available for rental on-site – they will assist you with the setup. Upon return, I did see public buses that would take you directly to the beach for a small cost. I would recommend this to those who don’t want to buy boat tickets or handle transportation on their own.

The tour was amazing, everything is well organized, the boat ride and bus ride. We had lunch included in the price. You can rent sun umbrella and they have coin lockers available. We had an amazing time!

I loved the experience! We saw a turtle and quite a few different fish in the coral. They lent us a wetsuit so we wouldn't get too cold, and they took photos and videos so we could keep a souvenir.
