460代Month of posting: 2024/08The Blue Cave is mysterious and beautiful, and we saw vicious coral reefs, sea turtles, cuttlefish, bears, schools of sardines, and big black fish. I think this tour is longer than other snorkeling tours. I think it would have been better if a cab had been provided to pick us up and drop us off.

540代Month of posting: 2024/07I participated for the first time with my family of three from Tokyo. There were no other participants on the day of the tour, but we were gladly able to leave the ship. The time we spent at the snorkeling spots, sea turtles, and the blue cave was more enjoyable than I had expected and it went by very quickly. The coral was the most beautiful coral I have ever seen and the clarity was excellent. We were able to change clothes, and women and children were able to do so without any worries. I have been going to Miyako Island for the past 5 years and I wish I had known about this tour earlier. I wish I had known about this tour earlier. I will use this tour again next year.

440代Month of posting: 2023/08I have been on many snorkel tours and this was the longest time I could swim. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go for a long swim. The underwater camera used was a great one and we were satisfied with the beautiful pictures we got!

560代Month of posting: 2023/06It was a skin dive entry from a boat. The clarity of the water and the abundance of fish are not easy to see unless you go by boat. We also encountered two loggerhead turtles. One of them had a carapace of about 70-80 cm and a small tail, so she was probably a female of about 10 years old. I was fascinated by the way they were swimming so calmly, not caring if the staff divers approached them slowly. Here are some underwater photos 👍.

560代Submitted Month: 2023/04We joined the tour as a couple and asked for this tour because we had difficulty getting accepted elsewhere due to age restrictions. The staff explained everything clearly, were very responsive, we saw turtles, and most importantly, we received great photos and were very satisfied. The cave was mysterious. I don't think I could have experienced it on my own.

540代Month of posting: 2022/12It was my first time to go boat snorkeling, but the guide was very reliable and made me feel at ease. It was very beautiful to see fish gathering around the entrance of the Blue Cave. As the name "Blue Cave" implies, the inside of the cave was filled with blue, and it was very fantastic.

540代Month of posting: 2022/07It was my first time on Miyako Island and I joined a snorkeling tour. There were three other groups besides myself, two of which were experience divers. We all enjoyed snorkeling at Vicious at first, and we were lucky enough to see sea turtles. The staff divided us into diving and snorkeling groups and guided us to the Blue Cave, explaining about the various fish on the way to the cave. After returning to the boat, we had free time to enjoy the beautiful sea of Miyako Island until the diving group returned. The staff were all very kind and supportive, taking pictures underwater and pulling us with floats from the boat to the snorkeling spots. The snorkeling at the beach is good, but snorkeling offshore makes the ocean much more beautiful, so I would like to return when I visit Miyakojima. However, I was not sure where to park at the meeting point, so I felt it would have been better if you could have guided me at the beginning. (We were told to park anywhere that was available.)

530代Month of posting: 2022/06The day we planned to join the tour, it was suggested that we could not enjoy the tour due to the sea conditions, so we joined the next day. (*We were happy to have this contact with you to make sure we could enjoy the tour!) On the day of the tour, we were beginners in Miyakojima and arrived lost at the meeting place. But...the staff was really kind and friendly as described in other reviews. They carefully explained the places we visited on the tour, took lots of pictures, and entertained us in the ocean! I really enjoyed the tour...I was flattered and all the staff members were very kind and made me feel at ease on the tour. Thank you very much! I hope to use your service again when I visit Miyako Island again♪

530代Month of posting: 2022/04I am ashamed to say that this was my first visit to Okinawa. My wife said she wanted to go to Miyako Island, so we went to Miyako. I bought a guidebook and was curious about the Blue Cave and the Yaegase. But I wanted to talk to someone about it, so I called first. I was torn between the Yahegase and the Ao no Tsubute (Blue Cave), but I was told on the phone that the Ao no Tsubute was only available in summer, and that if it was summer, there was a good chance we would be able to go there. On the day of the tour, I was surprised at how beautiful the sea was. The experience of snorkeling in such a beautiful place was just like a dream. The guide was very polite and kind. I could feel that he wanted to entertain us, and above all, he was very considerate. I used to go to a snowy country every year during the year-end and New Year holidays, but I heard that Okinawa in winter is also nice, so I might put Okinawa on my list!
