SUP & Snorkeling com Tartarugas Marinhas (Miyako)

We booked the sea turtle snorkeling and canoeing experience! Momo-san guided us for the sea turtle snorkeling, and Julia-san took care of the canoeing! Both of them are friendly beauties, and it was an amazing experience!! 💃✨ I was a bit troubled because the car park requires a 1,000-yen bill to enter, but they kindly held onto our luggage for us! For the snorkeling, they even had an AED ready, and for those who are nervous about swimming, they can be pulled along by a red float, so it's very reassuring ◎ They carefully check on your physical condition and take plenty of photos at each spot, making it perfect for creating memories 📷 We first got used to it in the shallow water before heading out to the deeper areas. I heard that even when it's sunny, you might not always see sea turtles, but this time it was sunny and we got to swim right alongside them—super lucky ✌️ At the end, they had prepared a large amount of fresh water for us, which was a huge lifesaver since we were covered in saltwater! After taking a lunch break, everyone doing canoeing and SUP gathered together. A couple from Taiwan had joined us, but since Julia-san, who speaks four languages, was in charge, communication went extremely smoothly 😆 She taught us how to paddle both canoes and SUPs in an easy-to-understand way, and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest ◎ She took videos here as well, taught us some trivia about the rocks, and her energetic personality made Julia-san simply the best 🤩 We were so lucky to meet her, especially since this was her last day at work for the season!!! All in all, I'm so glad I booked this tour!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories!!!!! (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

SUPとシュノーケリング体験、最高でした! 今日の午後、SUPを体験しました。初めてでしたが、とても楽しい時間になりました!インストラクターのHanaさんともう一人の先生が、とても親切で、しかもプロフェッショナルで、安心して参加できました。乗り方や漕ぎ方を一つひとつ丁寧に教えてくださって、最初は不安でしたが、おかげで一度も落ちることなく、水の上で景色を楽しむことができました。笑いが絶えない、最高の思い出になりました。 今日はシュノーケリングも体験しました。担当してくださった先生も、とても優しくて頼りになる方で、安全面にもしっかり気を配ってくださいました。おかげで、水の中の世界を心ゆくまで楽しめました。同じお店でSUPもシュノーケリングもできて、本当に大満足です。ぜひまた参加したいです。友達にもおすすめします!Hanaさん、シュノーケリングの先生、そしてもう一人の先生、本当にありがとうございました!

Experience: Perfect score. The instructor was very professional, took great photos, and spoke English, making communication very easy. The scenery was also beautiful. Instructor: Takurou was extremely professional and patiently explained the techniques to us, and helped us take photos that turned out wonderfully. We were very lucky to see Nemo and three sea turtles while snorkeling! If we visit Miyakojima again, this instructor will be our first choice!

This time, we participated in snorkeling to see sea turtles and SUP activities, which were a lot of fun and everyone had a great time. Although there was a language barrier, our guide Yumi was still very dedicated and tried her best to guide us with gestures, constantly checking on our well-being, and even took many photos. We were also very lucky; as soon as we got into the water, we saw cute sea turtles, coral reefs, and beautiful Nemo fish hiding in anemones. We look forward to coming back with our children next time.

SUP教练Julia非常漂亮且专业，虽然只能用英文交流，但教学非常详细！原本我还担心自己浮不起来，其实完全没问题，还能站起来，真的超级酷、超级好玩。第一次体验SUP就有了非常棒的感受，还留下了很多纪念照片～此外，浮潜就在不远处，带队的Nazar也非常专业。我很怕水也不会游泳，但可以全程抓着一个浮圈，他会带着你前进。非常幸运的是还看到了海龟，海水也很清澈、很漂亮，超级值得来体验！！！台湾的朋友快来吧！！（他们听到是台湾来的都会说“very good”，哈哈，非常可爱）

Our experience was amazing, we could see many fishes and one big turtle. We spent a lot of time in the water enjoying that paradise. Our guide was Hayata, so friendly and he spoke English. He provided us with the equipment and was constantly asking us if we were okay. It was a safe experience, and we had so much fun. Luckily, it was a sunny day ☀️ He guided us to those parts where there was abundant sea life. He also took photos of us and shared them the day after 📸🤩 We 100% recommend this activity and our guide Hayata 🙌

My girlfriend and I signed up for this SUP and snorkeling tour because we really wanted to see Miyakojima's clear blue coral seas and diverse marine life. Although we couldn't reach the initially booked spot due to a vehicle issue, the company staff were incredibly kind and guided us, allowing us to safely join at the next location. Even though my English isn't fluent, I felt genuine warmth from their willingness to help me over the phone until the very end. During the experience, our guide, Kyoka, was fluent in English and provided detailed and fascinating explanations about the marine creatures and corals. She was particularly attentive to my girlfriend's and my physical condition and stamina in real-time, and she proactively informed us about potentially dangerous points like currents or changes in water depth. This made us, as first-time snorkelers, feel completely at ease and able to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. In the water, we saw various large and small corals and colorful fish, including clownfish, famously known as 'Nemo,' and tiger fish, all just a few centimeters away. The underwater world that unfolded before our eyes was breathtakingly beautiful and an incredibly moving moment that will remain in our memories forever. The scene of sunlight sparkling on the water's surface and settling on the corals, as viewed from underwater, is still vivid in my mind. The time we spent together felt too short, yet it was so precious. If we visit Miyakojima again, we definitely want to see the ocean with the same company and Kyoka again. Above all, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Kyoka for her continuous care, ensuring we enjoyed the underwater experience to the fullest, safely, and created wonderful memories. We also thank the other guide who thoughtfully took many beautiful photos from various angles. This experience was the most brilliant moment of our trip, and thanks to both of them, it became an even more special memory.

This trip was a last-minute booking, but the entire journey was super fun and perfect! The SUP and snorkeling instructors were both amazing, and I'm so grateful for their care throughout the trip. Everyone can definitely join with peace of mind! Instructor: Soma Kajita is an excellent photographer! 👍

Yuuri was really fluent in English and kind enough to translate everything he was saying to me, even though I was the only foreigner! The whole process was smooth, and we were lucky enough to see a turtle as well. The photos turned out great too, thank you :)

It was a beautiful day to snorkel. We definitely needed the wetsuit (which they provided) as the water was chilly at first. We saw all different species of fish, a sea snake, and sea cucumber. And the turtles. The turtles were just grazing away. Igor went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable and to point out all the different marine life. And to take some AWESOME pictures of us and our adventure. If you come to Miyako, definitely use this company! They are fabulous!!
