I joined the tour with two women. The captain was very kind and very dandy. We were not strong enough to snorkel, but we had a great time! He took a lot of pictures while snorkeling and taught us a lot about the sea of Ishigaki Island. We enjoyed our first visit to Ishigaki Island ( ^ω^ ) Thank you very much!

560代Posted Mon: 2019/04I was not sure if I could snorkel in my late 60's, but I joined the tour with my son. Unfortunately, it was a stormy day, but we were thrilled when we found a clownfish in the anemone. We were able to see many different kinds of tropical fish up close, and the coral was so beautiful that I felt as if I had stepped into an aquarium. Lunch was served with hot udon and onigiri (rice balls) due to the low temperatures. I felt the thoughtfulness of the staff. There were many happenings, but the staff gave me good advice and kindness, and even I was able to have a good time. Next time, I would like to participate with my family.

530代Posted Mon: 08/2018This was the first time for my family of three to participate in snorkeling! I was a little worried about my daughter, who is in 2nd grade, but she was so absorbed in the sea of Ishigaki Island that I didn't need to worry about her lol. The staff was very supportive and I am very thankful that they were able to safely handle my daughter who was reckless. I enjoyed snorkeling as much as she did, and was floating around thinking how beautiful the ocean is. The greatest memory of Ishigaki is that I was able to snorkel while feeling the time pass by slowly.

540代Posted Mon: 2018/03I booked this tour with my husband, my middle daughter and my third grade son. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the experience because he supported our children during the snorkeling. We took pictures with our family on the island of illusion, saw coral and colorful tropical fish while snorkeling, and it was a great family memory. We spent 3 nights and 4 days in Ishigaki Island on consecutive holidays, and everyone said that landing on the island and snorkeling were the most fun.
