Beautiful sea and turtle
jessicahO3087NZ, October 2026
It was a great and efficient snorkelling tour! We enjoyed the beautiful sea, coral, fishes and sea turtle (!) of Miyakojima - it was impressive and can't wait to come back again.
Hana-chan, our guide, took great care of everyone and made sure we all have a wonderful experience :)

Bucket list experience!
laissR8412HH, October 2026
My husband and I did this tour with Hana-san as our guide and it was great! She explained every step, and would often pause to tell us about the fish we saw. She was also super prepared and had extra materials, and also would make sure to stop us to take good pictures. I 100% recommend!

A mind blowing sea turtle snorkeling trip
tobbyc2026, October 2026
Hannah was so friendly and professional as she guided our family of three on a snorkeling tour to see sea turtles and clownfish. Our 5-year-old daughter wasn't nervous at all and kept saying how much fun she was having!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Top-notch 👍
DayTrip09998650432, October 2026
This time, Coach Hannah was very enthusiastic, and there were no communication problems. The snorkeling process was very interesting, and we even saw many sea turtles 🐢. It's a worthwhile trip.

Great snorkel diving experience with excellent photos
Vacation430212, October 2026
Guide Takurou was excellent in taking great photos. He captured the best moments with us swimming alongside the sea turtles and the namo fish around some colourful coral and seaweed. It was so great that I booked another one the following day! Even though there was a strong typhoon approaching and I was the only person attending, Guide Takurou was cheerful and did his best to find sea turtles. We saw two that day and at the point we finished our snorkel diving session, we saw a rainbow appearing! It was an unforgettable experience.
