Okinawa Islands

The meeting point at the terminal (in front of the red postbox) was easy to find, and we started right on time, heading to the center of Ishigaki Island. Even on a rainy day, we were able to see many fireflies after sunset. Since artificial light and body heat are bad for fireflies, we kept our distance and enjoyed watching them carefully. When taking pictures, you will need a DSLR camera (with the LCD monitor off) and a tripod.

My first dive was on a great day. The weather was perfect, and the water temperature was just right. The instructor led the others on a snorkeling dive to acclimatize, and then he led the others on a dive. I was on the second dive site. Under the guidance of instructor Emma, I was able to safely and slowly sink into the water. During the decompression process, the instructor would check my condition to make sure I was okay before leading me down to a depth of about six meters to explore the underwater scenery. On the third snorkeling trip, we spotted sea turtles feeding. Our group swam nearby to observe them. This time, we were able to get up close and personal with the turtles, truly making the trip worthwhile.

Overall, it was a great and enjoyable experience. The driver was very polite, kind, and considerate. The itinerary was well-planned, smooth, and punctual. The price was also fair and reasonable, and communication was seamless.

The app is convenient to use and allows for advance planning of the trip. I had planned to visit the DDM Aquarium and Sirai-in (Daruma-ji Temple), but unfortunately, I couldn't redeem the coin purse I needed for Sirai-in (Daruma-ji Temple) after that! So I changed my plans and went to eat hamburgers instead, which were also very delicious and a good experience.

The staff were extremely polite and helpful. As a solo traveler, they assisted with photography throughout the trip. Very professional, excellent experience! 👍👍👍👍👍

Since we had limited time on the island, we opted for electric bikes this time. We only needed to walk a short distance to the designated pick-up point, and after a brief on-site lesson, we were all very familiar with them! The journey from the port to Yaeyama Folk Village was a bit far, so we purchased additional seats so we could adjust our riding style if we got tired!

The driver's service was excellent and completely customized! They also provided professional advice. I will definitely book with them again next time.
