Regarding the Yoron Island Marine Sports Tour
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. I'm not a strong swimmer. Can I still participate in the trial session?

Yes, that's no problem! During the experience, you'll wear a high-buoyancy life jacket, so even if you can't swim, you can participate with confidence. Our guides will be right by your side to assist you at all times, so even first-timers can relax and enjoy the ocean.

Q. What should I wear on the day of the trial session?

Please arrive wearing your swimsuit and clothing that can get wet (such as a rash guard, T-shirt, or shorts). Since the sun is strong on Yoron Island, we recommend wearing a long-sleeved rash guard for sun protection. Please also bring water shoes or beach sandals to protect your feet.

Q. Can young children and elderly family members participate as well?

While the age requirements vary by package, many of the activities take place in calm, shallow waters, making them suitable for everyone from children to seniors. They are also highly recommended for three-generation family outings. Participation requirements vary by package, so please check them when making your reservation.
