I was thrilled to see a sea turtle as soon as I entered the water. The guide provided great support, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you can enjoy yourself with peace of mind. The fact that the facilities—like changing rooms and showers—are well-equipped is a big plus. I'd definitely like to use this service again the next time I visit Amami.

If you want to see sea turtles, I definitely recommend this tour! As soon as we got in the water, they spotted a sea turtle, and we were able to swim right alongside it♪ After the tour, the shower rooms and changing rooms are clean and well-maintained, so even women can feel comfortable and join in with ease☆ Be sure to enjoy the beautiful seas of Amami to the fullest!

Just as advertised—with a high chance of encountering sea turtles—I spotted one as soon as I entered the water. The facility is very convenient, with shower rooms and changing rooms provided. If I had to mention one thing, the hair dryer’s airflow was a bit weak, so it might take a little longer for people with long hair. Other than that, it was a wonderful tour.

First, we received a basic snorkeling lesson on the beach and gradually got used to the ocean. Next, our guide led us to a slightly deeper area, where we saw sea turtles swimming gracefully—it was truly moving. The facilities, including the changing rooms, were well-maintained, so we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind until the very end.

First, we were shown how to use the equipment on the beach, then we slowly made our way into the water. As we swam a little, marveling at the clarity of the seawater, we encountered a sea turtle right away, just as we’d been told. After that, we were able to enjoy snorkeling at our own pace while admiring the colorful fish. The facilities, including changing rooms and showers, were well-maintained, so we had a comfortable time right up until the end.

Just as I’d hoped—“I want to see sea turtles!”—it came true!! The staff provided detailed explanations and kept checking in with us, asking, “Are you okay?” so even the kids who were going in the ocean for the first time were able to enjoy themselves without any worries. The fact that there are warm showers available is a big plus. Underwater camera rentals are free, but you’ll need your own SD card, so I recommend bringing one if you plan to take photos. You can also buy them on-site.

The friendly staff kept a close eye on us the whole time, so we had a great time snorkeling. We even got to see sea turtles and fish—it was a truly wonderful experience. If I had to nitpick, I think it would have been even better if there had been some explanations about the coral and fish.

I was so moved to see sea turtles in the crystal-clear water! The changing rooms were clean, too, so I’d definitely recommend this place to women as well♪ Just be sure to slather on plenty of sunscreen—the sun was pretty strong during the boat ride!

Seriously, the sea turtle was way too close lol. I was just swimming along when a turtle swam right in front of me—I got so hyped! The guide was really fun to be around, and it was an absolute blast! Being able to use the clean showers and changing rooms right after getting out of the water was just amazing.

Just as rumored, we had a high chance of encountering sea turtles and were able to fully enjoy the beautiful waters of Amami. It was also very convenient that shower facilities were provided. If I had to nitpick, adjusting the size of the fins we rented was a bit tricky, so I’ll give it 4 stars.

It had been a while since I’d gone snorkeling, so I was worried about whether I’d be able to swim properly, but thanks to their attentive guidance, I got the hang of it right away. I was so excited to swim with sea turtles right up close! It was also really nice to have access to clean changing rooms and showers after the tour ended♪

I can't swim, but I wanted to swim with sea turtles, and they made such a dream come true!　Thanks to the careful lectures at the office and on the beach, I did not panic and was able to handle any water that came in by myself. I was very happy to see beautiful blue and yellow fish as well as sea turtles. The shower was warm, and we were able to borrow a hair dryer and dehydrator.　I would like to come back to Amami again soon! I had a great time! Thank you very much.

The waves were a little high that day and I was a little drunk, but thank you for taking care of me and my health. Although the time was a little short, we saw many sea turtles, bear fleas, and beautiful fish, and we were very satisfied.

Four of us participated in the tour, including two elementary school students and an elderly person. It was our first time snorkeling, but we enjoyed it very much because we were carefully taught in turn. We saw 5 or 6 sea turtles and many kinds of fish, which were cute and beautiful. Underwater cameras are available for rent and SD cards can be bought or brought. However, we could not dive because we had to wear life jackets, and it was a pity that we could not get two shots of a sea turtle and a child. There was no underwater photography by the guide. I would definitely participate again.

It was my first time snorkeling, but thanks to Hayami's kind and easy-to-understand guiding, I was able to enjoy it to the fullest! I met three sea turtles in the ocean and was impressed to see colorful and beautiful fish up close. We were also very happy that Mr. Hayami took pictures of us in the water with his GoPro and we were able to leave behind wonderful memories.

Encountering a sea turtle. The sea turtle with black eyes was very cute. I am in my 50's and not very athletic, but I was also a bit wave-sick, but meeting the cute sea turtles was a good memory of Amami-Oshima.

Could be perfect for a family vacation! We took our family with our young children. The guide was very kind to the kids and made them feel safe and comfortable snorkeling. We were able to see sea turtles up close and personal, and the kids loved it.

My friends and I participated in our first snorkeling! We were really impressed to see sea turtles! We were able to rent an underwater camera for free so we could take lots of pictures and upload them to social media.
