Okinawa World snorkeling

My family and I had a wonderful snorkeling experience. We saw many different kinds of fish, even sea snakes. Thanks to our tour guide, Akari. She did an amazing job. She showed us where the clownfish were and kept us safe during our tour.

Our tour guide Mentol is the best! Speaks good English, very kind and always looks out for us while snorkeling. Complete gear provided for free, including suits, snorkels, aqua shoes, and free photos. We will definitely do this again!!!

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!

This was the best tour we did our whole trip to Okinawa. The experience was very personable! The staff was incredible and our guide, she was so sweet and patient and super helpful making sure our kids had fun and amazing experience! She took incredible pictures for us. We saw a Turtle it was so cool. The area of the tour was quite and not busy at all. The reef was so beautiful and we saw so much sea life to include clown fish, sea snakes, blue star fish, lion fish, and so much more! I already followed on Instagram so I can continue to see footage of beautiful Okinawa sea life when I'm back home! BEST OKINAWA MainLand Tour Ever! Thank you.

Diving with whale sharks. There were no Koreans, but Mr. Yamamoto, who spoke English, was incredibly kind and informative, so it was fine. We dove 5 minutes away by boat and observed the whale sharks from outside the net. It was a bit pricey, but when will I ever get an experience like this again? Thank you, Mr. Yamamoto :)

experience: Our family of four booked the snorkeling small group via Klook Okinawa pass 3 days before we arrived because it was Golden Week and fills up fast. It was definitely worth the pre-planning and booking. It was our kids ages 7 & 9 first time snorkeling so safety and a certified instructor was a must for us. We had a fantastic instructor who was so patient with our kids and made it lots of fun. He even gave us food to feed the fish and took photos and videos for us to have as keepsakes. They will provide wet suits and shoes and snorkel equipment. Just bring a towel, and 200 yen for a shower and a change of clothes/shoes. We loved this and highly recommend it!

I made the reservation too last minute, so I ended up booking a course without a Korean guide. Since it was a course that included diving, everyone was gathered before the dive for a thorough explanation and warning about risks. They explained in detail how to react in dangerous situations. I was fully satisfied with the experience of scuba diving along with snorkeling. For the second snorkeling session, I changed it to a fun dive (as I have a license), and since I was the only one who chose that option for that particular scuba dive, I think I was able to enjoy the sightseeing more smoothly. It was great to see turtles at the turtle point, and seeing clownfish in the anemones that were a bit deeper was also very cute and fun. Even during the fun dive, the instructor constantly checked if I was following well from behind, ensuring my safety. If your flight schedule and overall travel itinerary align well, I highly recommend trying either an introductory dive or a fun dive. Especially, even if the water at the beach looks clear, snorkeling in deeper areas allows you to see things in perfectly clear water without any sand, offering a truly wide and deep view, which was fantastic.

I booked a Kerama Islands snorkeling plus sea turtle swimming package via Klook, with Miegusuku Port as the meeting point. I self drove so I did not use the provided pick up service, and parking at the port is chargeable. Check in started around 8.20am. Onboard, all equipment such as wetsuits, masks, fins, and life jackets were provided, along with a safety briefing and optional add ons like banana boat rides, jet ski activities, and GoPro rental. The boat reached the snorkeling site in about 20mins, where we entered the water in guided groups. After an initial session and a short break on the yacht with tea provided, participants split into different activity groups. The sea turtle experience involved a short banana boat ride to a nearby spot, where staff first checked for turtles before we snorkelled in the area, followed by additional free snorkeling nearby. We returned to the yacht around 11.00am and arrived back at port at about 11.50am, with equipment cleaned on board.
