530代Posted in July 2026I wasn't very confident in my swimming ability, and I was worried the whole time before we left about whether I'd actually get to see sea turtles in the ocean. But thanks to the private tour and the local guide who provided such attentive support and adjusted to my pace, I was able to swim with the sea turtles without a hitch! I even received some beautiful digital photos, so I'm really glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.

530代Posted in June 2026The sea turtles swimming right in front of me were so cute—I was absolutely blown away! Our local guide took lots of photos and videos from great angles, and every single one has become a precious treasure★ It was also great that we had the tour all to ourselves, so I could swim to my heart’s content without worrying about anyone else♪

540代Posted in June 2026Since we had the tour all to ourselves, we could fully immerse ourselves in searching for sea turtles without worrying about other people! Our guide really knew the Amami seas inside and out, and we got to witness some truly moving moments. The photos and videos they gave us as a gift were also fantastic.

530代Month of posting: 2026/05We visited Amami Oshima for our honeymoon with the purpose of getting in touch with living creatures and nature. We were able to see two sea turtles and had time to enjoy them at our own pace. We were able to observe many corals, anemones, and tropical fish. We also received many underwater videos and photos. The brother is a soft person with no walls and easy to get in touch with." I liked the fact that he called us by our first names instead of "sir" or something like that! We went on other tours during this 4-day/3-night trip, but we didn't encounter any frogs or owls, only screeching. When I told him that I love owls, frogs, lizards and many other small animals in captivity, he said that he knew of a deep spot in the mountains as well as the ocean and would guide us next time...! We will definitely come back in the near future for revenge! Thank you very much for your service. There are many tours of various genres, but this was definitely the most enjoyable tour in terms of content and personality!

450代Month of posting: 2026/05I think it offers excellent value for the price. Since it’s a completely private tour, you have a high chance of seeing sea turtles, and when you factor in the complimentary photo data, the overall satisfaction is high. If I had to nitpick, I think it would have been even more comfortable if the changing area after getting out of the water were a little more spacious.

They were so cute that I became a fan of sea turtles and Amami more and more. The guide was kind, friendly, a little bit natural and nice. He explained to us about the species of green turtles, how to distinguish their sex, and the ecology of fish, which was very informative.
