I've snorkeled at many travel destinations, but Miyakojima's waters were in a class of their own. I was amazed by the exceptional clarity and abundance of fish. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy winter day, but thanks to the rental wetsuits, I was able to brave the cold January waters and enjoy about an hour in the calm waters. Instead of going out on a boat, we entered the water directly from the shore, which made it easy and convenient. We quickly encountered many tropical fish, clownfish, and even two sea turtles. It was amazing to be able to enjoy such a close-up look at the adorable sea turtles. Our guide, Shuji, gave us detailed explanations beforehand. He took plenty of photos and videos while gracefully diving underwater and sent them to me that same day. Thank you for the wonderful tour. Even after returning from our trip, I often look back on Miyakojima's beautiful waters and reminisce about them.
A great experience, suitable for the whole family. The boat trip isn't too long, and you can see whales. The boat is very clean, and life jackets are readily available. The shuttle bus also arrives on time.
The beach is crystal clear, and it's less crowded in winter, making it perfect for relaxing by the sea alone. Staying overnight on the island would also be wonderful.
