I joined another snorkel tour on 3/29 and enjoyed the guide's detailed and detailed explanation about the nature of Ishigaki Island. We are a family of five and love snorkeling, but the clarity of the island's ocean is still amazing. Even on cloudy days, we could see the bottom of the water. We saw a sea turtle on our first snorkel, and at a point near the beach, we saw coral reefs, lots of fish, and a sea snake crossing in front of us. The staff is very kind and pleasant. I would definitely participate again.
