Ishigaki Island snorkling

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.

Det var en helt fantastisk upplevelse! Vår guide var väldigt avslappnad och talade utmärkt engelska. Priset var mycket rimligt, men minnena är helt ovärderliga. Jag rekommenderar detta varmt till alla som fortfarande tvekar!

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 och Haruka var fantastiska! Supervänliga och såg till att alla på turen blev väl omhändertagna! Barnen njöt av sin första riktiga snorklingsupplevelse! Vi såg tre havssköldpaddor! Instruktör: professionell och vänlig Utrustning: allt var förberett! Vi behövde bara ta med oss själva, vatten och handdukar!

Jag hade aldrig trott att detta var den bästa halvdagsturen i hela Sydostasien. Vattnet var kristallklart, och vi såg massor av koraller och fiskar. En halvdag var precis lagom. Guiden var vänlig och körde oss till och med tillbaka till hotellet. Rekommenderas varmt!

Denna aktivitet kan tryggt delta i även för dem som inte kan simma. Första gången man provar kan man känna sig lite osäker, men Kobayashi-san förklarade tålmodigt varje steg och säkerhetsåtgärd, vilket gjorde att man kände sig mycket lugnare. Kobayashi-san, dykaren och båtföraren var alla mycket vänliga. När man går ner i vattnet kan man känna ett lätt tryck i öronen (varierar från person till person), men det påverkar inte aktiviteten. Så fort man kommer ner i vattnet känns det som att man har kommit in i en ny värld, och den ursprungliga nervositeten försvinner! Vädret den dagen vi deltog var molnigt, men trots det mötte vi vackra fiskstim på havsbotten. Tiden i vattnet var cirka 20-25 minuter. Dykaren hjälper till att ta fina bilder! Halsen och uppåt kommer nästan inte i kontakt med vattnet, så även de som bär smink kan tryggt delta med sminket på! Rekommenderas starkt! 👍🏻

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!

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!

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!
