    This was my first sea turtle snorkeling experience. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but I was very happy to see two sea turtles! 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. It was a very enjoyable activity with lots of memorable photos. Next time I will visit during the warmer season.

    We joined the tour in mid-January. The weather was beautiful all day and we were able to see many sea turtles. The mangrove forest was quiet and luxurious, with no other participants, probably due to the time of year. The instructor, Hayami, was very experienced and explained everything very well, and his hospitality was wonderful. I heard that it is very hot in the middle of summer, so I was worried about the weather at first, but I am very glad that I was able to join this tour during this time of the year. I would like to join another tour. Thank you very much!

    I went with my grandson to see the beautiful sea by boat. It was very easy physically because the boat took us directly to the point, and it was nice to see many pretty fish in the clear water. However, there is not much to block the sun on the boat, so it is better to wear a rash guard or other sun protection.
