    Frequently Asked Questions about MARUYU (Q&A)

    Q. Should I definitely choose MARUYU?

    Not absolutely, but strongly recommended.

    We recommend that you do not hesitate to choose a Maruyu operator, especially if it is your first time or if you have small children or elderly companions.

    While it's not a "must choose."It's a good choice.The "Maruyu" is a "Maruyu".

    Please consider this as an option to make your trip more comfortable, including a peace of mind fee.

    Q. Won't the price be higher?

    It is not necessarily higher.

    Tours by Maruyu operators are not set at a particularly high price, but most are in the same price range as other companies, depending on the content and time required.

    Be wary of extremely inexpensive tours, however.

    As mentioned above, there are cases where safety equipment and guiding systems are inadequate because they are "cheap or inadequate,It is important to choose the best choice based on content and safety measures rather than price.It is.

    The fee will not be excessively high just because it is MARUYU, and even if it is a few hundred to a thousand yen more expensive, it is not expensive if you consider it as a peace of mind fee.

    Q. What is the difference between a non-certified business and a certified business?

    The level of trust in safety measures is different. While non-certified tours do not necessarily mean that the tours are not safe, it is true that there is a difference in safety awareness among activity tours due to the ease of entry.

    The biggest difference is whether or not they are checked by a third party (police). While Maruyu vendors receive guidance from the police, including unannounced annual inspections, uncertified vendors are basically responsible for their own safety.

    In terms of accident rates, according to police reports, there have been very few cases of serious accidents after acquiring MARUYU.

    In general, the difference is that MARUYU has a "guarantee of trust," which saves the user the trouble of finding out for himself whether it is safe or not.

    It was my first time trying snorkeling and SUP, but the staff member, “Ayu-chan,” was very patient and easy to get along with—I had a great time. The views from the SUP and the snorkeling were both amazing, and it became one of the best memories of my trip. I’m really grateful to have received so many photos.

    This was my first time trying SAP. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do it, but it was so much fun! Since it was early in the morning and just our family was there, we were able to take our time and enjoy the experience at our own pace. Our guide, Shin-chan, was so friendly—he was the best! I look forward to doing SAP with you again next time (^ω^)

    My first time visiting Miyako Island! I booked an activity in advance through Miyako Island Tours. I was a little worried about the weather, and it was a long half-day tour, but thanks to the kind and attentive service from the staff member A-chan, and the fact that she was so friendly with the kids made it a truly enjoyable experience ٩(^‿^)۶ Even after we got back to the hotel, the kids were still thrilled! We’d love to use your services again. Thank you so much 😊
