    My husband and I took a drive around the island in a kei car, which allowed us to get around easily. The price was fair. The pickup at the airport went smoothly, and when we dropped off the car, they gave us a ride in the same car we’d arrived in, so we didn’t have to reload our luggage—which we really appreciated. If we ever come back to Amami, we’d definitely like to rent from Lucky again.

    After receiving a thorough explanation, we took a boat to the snorkeling spot. Since a typhoon was approaching that day, I’m sure the water would have been murky and visibility poor if we’d gone beach snorkeling. I’m so glad we opted for boat snorkeling instead. The water was still warm, and there were plenty of colorful fish—it was absolutely amazing. I had brought my own GoPro, but at the best spots, the guide even dove in and took photos for me—they really went above and beyond. The hot shower after snorkeling had great water pressure, and I was very satisfied. If I ever get the chance again, I’d love to book with them here.

The view from the scenic spot was truly amazing, and the staff’s commentary was entertaining—I’m so glad I took part in this experience. Next time, I’d like to join the night tour.

    Since it was a private tour, we were able to enjoy snorkeling to our hearts' content all by ourselves. The photos and videos were taken from angles we couldn't have captured on our own, making for some wonderful memories. The guide was also very kind, and we're so glad we chose this tour.

    It was a truly fulfilling and enjoyable tour. We walked through a mysterious, dense forest and listened to explanations about the various sites, plants, and birds. Canoeing through the mangroves, surrounded by the sky, the river, and the trees, allowed me to lose track of time and truly unwind. You patiently answered all my questions, and I had a very relaxing time. I’d love to visit Amami again. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful guide.

    A 35-year-old living in Osaka / 30s Posted on: October 2026

    I participated with my timid third-grade son and my husband, who’s a little nervous around the ocean. In the end, all three of us—including me—were absolutely thrilled!! We all said we’d love to do it again. Before the tour, they kindly and thoroughly taught us how to use the snorkels and fins. They also sincerely addressed my son’s child-specific concerns—like “Are there any sharks?”—by providing real-life examples. When my son’s goggles slipped off in the water during the tour, the staff handled the situation calmly without panicking, which helped my son stay composed and avoid panicking as well. Of course, we were thrilled to see the sea turtles and Amami’s beautiful fish, but I was truly moved by the staff’s thoughtful care and hospitality. This is definitely a place we’d love to visit again.
