Snorkeling with sea turtles - I was a little anxious because I didn't have confidence in my athletic ability, but I enjoyed the support very kindly. The view of Miyakojima is also superb underwater. Thank you, Yuri, for having a great time!

It was so much fun. - Thank you very much for your support this time! It was my first time snorkeling and swimming for the first time in about 10 years and I was worried about it, but it was a relief to see the guidance of the floating floats✩ Also, it was easy to understand how to explain. It was interesting to hear about fish from time to time! I was very happy to see the turtles safely! Thank you for taking me to a lovely place. It was inspiring. The photos were great and I was very happy♪ I was late on my way back, but they kindly encouraged me and I was relieved. Even after it was over, hot water was prepared and warmed up. Thank you Hide and Mayu! If you have another chance, I would love to join you!

My partner and I (USA)... - My partner and I (USA) had a fantastic snorkeling experience with Ryoma from OTHREE. We signed up for the 8:30am in Nov 2025, the fishes were super active and we saw tons of different kinds. Ryoma showed us the crackling sounds of the coral and brought us to different areas in the bay. The reef was beautiful and we were out for 1-1.5 hours and saw a sea turtle at the very end. Highly recommend!

🐢We got to see the sea turtle eating up close - I was able to see the sea turtle 🐢 eating seaweed and getting up to the surface to breathe in front of me. I was impressed to see so many other fish such as nemo and old man. I learned a lot from Kohei-kun, who explained the ecology of fish in detail. Kohei will also take pictures of us eating and swimming with the sea turtles🐢. I was able to swim with peace of mind because I was constantly observing the condition of the members and asked to participate. If you are worried, I hope you will join this tour with Kohei and enjoy observing the sea turtles 🐢 and 🐟.

Best birthday present - I visited Miyakojima from overseas and participated in this tour. Thanks to Mr. Fuka's careful explanations and instructions in English and Japanese, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind and swim with many beautiful fish and sea turtles. And my husband said, "That was the best birthday present ever!" It was amazing to see the city, beautiful scenery and Aurora in my own eyes. Thank you so much, Mr. Fuka!
