Miyako District

We made a reservation for four people and went. It seemed like about 6 people were grouped together, and 4 groups were on the boat at the same time. Each group had an instructor assigned, and for those who couldn't swim, they were given a tube attached to a rope and pulled from start to finish :) There were a total of three spots, and the first one was the best. We started at 11:30 AM and returned around 2:30 PM.

Si Yuri ang aming gabay, at sa totoo lang, siya ang nagpaganda sa buong karanasan! Napakabait niya mula pa sa simula, at ang kanyang enerhiya ay napakainit at nakakapanatag, lalo na para sa mga baguhan tulad namin. Pakiramdam namin ay lubos kaming ligtas sa buong oras. Nasa maliit kaming grupo, na talagang nagustuhan namin, dahil mas naging personal ang lahat. Ang talagang namukod-tangi ay kung gaano siya nagsikap para makakuha kami ng magagandang litrato. Sumisisid siya ng ilang talampakan, nananatili sa kanyang posisyon, at nagbubuga ng malalaking bubble rings para lang maging maganda ang kuha. Ang lalim ng tubig ay perpekto rin, sapat na mababaw para makalutang kami sa ibabaw ng mga korales at mapanood ang lahat ng isda na gumagawa ng kanilang mga bagay nang walang kahirap-hirap. May iba pang mga taong lumalangoy sa paligid, ngunit pinadali ni Yuri na makita siya at magsama-sama muli tuwing kailangan namin. Lubos kaming masaya sa karanasan!

Napakagandang karanasan! Si Mashi, ang aming gabay, ay masigasig na kumuha ng magagandang larawan at dinala kami sa mga lugar kung saan may mga pagong sa dagat, Nemo, mga coral at kawan ng isda, at marami pang iba. Napakaganda nito! 👍 Lalo na, pagkapasok pa lang namin ay nakakita na kami ng isang pagong, at sa huli ay sabay-sabay kaming nakakita ng tatlo! 😍 Lubos kong inirerekomenda! Haha, nakapag-usap din kami sa Ingles at nakapag-usap din siya ng kaunti sa Korean, kaya naging komportable kami. Regular din niyang chine-check ang aming kondisyon, kaya kahit hindi ka marunong ng Japanese ay masisiyahan ka pa rin! Pagkatapos ng karanasan, agad niyang ipinadala ang mga larawan sa pamamagitan ng AirDrop, na napakaganda. Maraming magagandang larawan ang nakuha dahil sunud-sunod siyang kumuha ng litrato. Haha, nag-alala ako na baka malamig, ngunit hindi naman pala at perpekto ang temperatura. Babalik ako sa Miyakojima para mag-snorkeling! Sulit na sulit ito.

Napakaganda na makapag-snorkel sa Miyakojima sa taglamig! At saka, nakakita pa kami ng napakaganda at cute na pagong ^-^ Hindi maganda ang panahon kaya nag-alala kami, pero nagpa-book kami biglaan isang araw bago, at dahil sa mabait na pag-guide at pag-asikaso sa amin, nagkaroon kami ng napakasayang oras kasama ang mga bata! Ang ganda rin ng mga litrato na kinuhanan ninyo sa amin, kaya hindi namin makakalimutan ang karanasan! Maraming salamat po ^-^ Nawa'y patuloy kayong umunlad!!

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

Mga Bentahe: Nagustuhan namin ang aming tour sa Pumpkin Cave. Ang pagtalon mula sa kalabasa papunta sa tubig ay masaya! Maganda ang kayaking. Mga Disadvantage: Hindi namin nadala ang aming camera at kinailangan naming umasa sa mga larawang kinunan nila para sa amin. Sa kasamaang palad, hindi masyadong maganda ang kanilang mga larawan, may ilang maayos, ngunit karamihan ay malabo. Masikip. Sunod-sunod na grupo ang pumasok sa Pumpkin Cave.

Highly recommend Instructor Yusho! We had an unforgettable day today! Although we saw super cute clownfish in the morning, we didn't see any sea turtles. We didn't want to push it, thinking the instructor might be too tired, but to our surprise, after taking all the other guests out at 5 PM, Yusho-san was still willing to specially take us into the sea to look for sea turtles! The moment we saw the sea turtles, we were incredibly happy, and the photos the instructor took are unbelievably beautiful 😭😭 (seriously!). The instructor is professional, thoughtful, and dedicated. We will definitely look for him again next time we come to Miyakojima! Friends from Taiwan, you can't go wrong with Instructor Yusho! Yusho-san, thank you for the best experience! The clownfish in the morning were cute, but what touched us most was your hospitality. Even though you must have been tired after guiding so many guests until 5 PM, you still went out of your way to take us to the sea to look for sea turtles. Thanks to you, we were able to see the sea turtles we had longed for, and you took so many amazing photos for us; we are truly happy 😭😭. If you're coming to Miyakojima, I wholeheartedly recommend Yusho-san! We will definitely come back to see you again! Highly recommend Instructor Yusho! We had an unforgettable day. Although we saw cute clownfish in the morning, we missed the turtles. We didn't want to push it because we knew Yusho had been busy all day, but he incredibly offered to take us out again at 5 PM just to find them! Seeing the turtles was a dream come true, and the photos he took are absolutely stunning😭😭. Yusho is professional, dedicated, and so kind. If you’re visiting Miyakojima, he is the best! Can’t wait to come back!

We recently participated in the half-day sea turtle snorkeling and SUP activity booked through Klook, and the overall experience was truly fantastic! Our guide, Jam, was incredibly patient and friendly. From the initial briefing to the activity itself, he took great care of everyone, making us feel very comfortable. Especially when we were out on the water, Jam constantly monitored our well-being and prioritized safety, which allowed even first-timers to participate with confidence. Although it was a bit windy and the sea conditions were slightly challenging that day, the entire trip was still a lot of fun, and both SUP and snorkeling were very enjoyable. The best part was that we actually saw sea turtles in the end! Being able to see sea turtles up close in such beautiful waters was truly moving and became one of the most unforgettable memories of this trip. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Miyakojima, and I'm very grateful to Jam for his care throughout, which helped us create such wonderful memories!

It was even more beautiful than I imagined! The sunset was absolutely stunning, and I think it will be an unforgettable memory. Our guide (MoMo) was also incredibly kind, which made the whole experience enjoyable! I traveled alone on foot, and everything went smoothly. There were also many couples, so I think this experience would be a great fit for anyone, regardless of how they're traveling. I'll definitely come back again! Thank you!
