Snorkeling to Osaki Beach - We had originally booked a trip to phantom Island Taketomi but this was changed due to the weather. We got the opportunity to get the money back or another trip. We thanked yes for a snorkeling trip to Osaki Beach where we were picked up at the hotel our guide Akari. The trip was really good and we snorkled in coral reef with a lot of smaller fish, seafood and a single sea turtle. The equipment was fine and the guide telling and cute. Overall, we all 3 thought it was a super trip.

It was amazing. - It was a wonderful view 💖 And Ryotaro's guide was the best!! They guided us in an atmosphere so that we could enjoy our snorkeling and bus travel time! While snorkeling, he would tell me more about the fish names, and if there was a rare fish, I would say, "Here I am!!!" He did his best to teach us that everyone can see 😂 While walking in shallow water on my way home, I was able to see a rare juvenile clownfish! Seeing them discover and share a little fish less than 1cm long, I could really feel how they were trying to entertain us until the very end 😌 I'd love to be a part of it again!!

Phantom Island experience - The sea was turquois clear blue and I really love the scenery.. Our tour guide was also very friendly. She took our pictures so we don’t need our phone camera anymore and it was really helpful. I would like to stay longer in Okinawa, but I’ll just come back again some other time. I love Ishigaki already.

Magical snorkeling experience! - Thank you so much to PiPi Adventures for making my trip so memorable! Despite the bad weather, we were still able to see some coral reefs at a beach closer to the city center and didn’t make it to the Phantom island. It was a magical experience nevertheless. They provided all the gears and eventhough the tour was in Japanese, I still understood all of the safety instructions. The guide was very enthusiastic, funny and helpful. He took fantastic photos and videos of the underwater creatures including the participants. Hope to see you all again soon, this was by far the best vacation ever as a solo traveler 🙌🏻. Oh and they even refunded me some money for the change in plans due to the weather conditions! Until next time 💫 🪸 🐠 ピピ・アドベンチャーズに 感謝します 旅行を忘れないように サンゴ礁が市中心部に近い海岸で 見えました 魔法の体験だった ツアーは日本語で 安全指示は全てわかったわ ガイドはとても熱心に、面白くて役に立った。 参加者など水中生物の写真やビデオを撮りました。 彼はこの写真に参加した人たちを含めて、 また会えるといいな。 これは135人の旅行者として、最高の休暇だった。 天候の予想変更に お金も返すわ またね 💫 🪸 🐠ドル

Phantom Island Snorkeling Taketomi Island Tourism - It was my first time snorkeling, but the water was very clear and the guide introduced various things to me, so I had a lot of fun! It was a good memory to see a sea snake! Even those who can't swim were able to see the fish easily and it was fun! When we wanted to take a picture, we asked them to take it like that! They took it exactly like that!
