Plan introduction( Private tour: Turtle Snorkeling )
This plan offers a private tour of snorkeling in the Miyako blue ocean where you can meet sea turtles.
Sea turtles are very popular creatures in the sea of Miyakojima, with their cute big eyes and relaxed swimming appearance.
Our guide who knows the local sea well will take you to the places where you have the best chance of seeing sea turtles, depending on the season and time of day.
This tour is highly recommended for those who want to see sea turtles in the wild as a memory of their trip to Miyako Island.
This tour is private for one group with an experienced guide, so even beginners in snorkeling can join with ease.
Life jackets are worn when snorkeling, so even if you can’t swim, you can just float around.
Small children and elderly guests are also welcome.
Our guide, who has specialized in childcare, will guide you with kindness, care, and fun, and we are sure that you will be satisfied.
In addition, this tour includes drone photography service.
Our guide will also take pictures of the tour with his camera and present the data to you after the tour is over.
