Since it was a private tour, I was able to take as many photos with the sea turtles as I wanted! Every angle of the sea turtles against the crystal-clear water looked like a picture-perfect scene—I was completely satisfied♪ If I had to nitpick, the meeting spot was a little hard to find, so it would have been even better if they’d provided a detailed map in advance!

Last time, I went snorkeling somewhere else, but this time I chose this place because I was drawn to the idea of having the tour all to myself. The local guide took us right to the spot where the sea turtles were, and we were able to see them swimming up close. I really appreciated the free video they gave us as a gift, and I’d love to use their services again the next time I visit Amami.

I 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.

As a private tour where you can swim with sea turtles, I felt the guide provided excellent support and it was a good value for the price. The process for receiving the free photos and videos was smooth and efficient. However, since the waves were a bit rough on the day of the tour, it would have been perfect if there had been even more detailed advance information about the sea conditions. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

First, we met up with our guide and headed out by boat to the beautiful waters of Amami. Next, we went into the water and searched for sea turtles while peering into the crystal-clear waters (phew).

We 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!

I 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.

It had been a while since I’d gone snorkeling, so I was worried about whether I’d be able to breathe properly and if I’d have the stamina, but since it was a private tour, I was relieved to be able to swim at my own pace. Thanks to the guide supporting me with a float, I was happy to be able to swim safely alongside the sea turtles.

I joined the tour and was overwhelmed by the beauty of the ocean and the abundance of nature. The sea turtles we met in the clear blue ocean were very calm and the experience of swimming with them up close was unforgettable. The tour was not only fun, but also educational, as we learned about the ecology of sea turtles through the careful explanations given by the guide. I was a little nervous at first, but since the tour was private, I felt safe, relaxed, and enjoyed it.

I'm so grateful you took so many photos of me with the sea turtles! I could never take such beautiful photos myself, so I'm really happy to have received the files. Every single photo really brought out the blue of the Amami Sea.

I wasn’t confident in my physical stamina and was worried about whether I’d be able to keep up with the snorkeling, but since we had the tour all to ourselves, the guide took it slow and tailored the pace to us, which put my mind at ease. The moment I saw the sea turtle, all my fatigue vanished, and I was able to enjoy myself to the fullest. We even received a video as a gift, so I’m really glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.

Since it’s a private tour, you can enjoy snorkeling with sea turtles without worrying about others, and with free photos and videos included, I think it’s great value for the money. The local guide’s tour was well-organized. However, the changing area felt a bit cramped, so if there had been more detailed instructions on how to prepare beforehand, it would have been perfect. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

First, we met up with our guide and headed to a spot where sea turtles were known to be found on a private boat. Next, we went into the water and searched for sea turtles while peering into the crystal-clear waters (phew). Thanks to the islander guide’s expert guidance, we were able to encounter sea turtles swimming gracefully, which was truly moving. We enjoyed a wonderful, leisurely time—something only a private charter could offer.

I participated in the snorkeling experience. The ocean was amazingly clear and another world opened up the moment I put my face in it. Fish were swimming right in front of my eyes and nose, and I felt as if I had melted into the sea. I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles, and I was even moved to see them breathing up close! It was truly a dream come true.
