Clownfish & Coral Watching Beach Snorkeling Tour
This is a snorkeling tour guided by a long-established marine company that has been involved in marine sports for about 40 years since its establishment.
Our motto is "to teach as many people as possible how to enjoy the wonderful ocean." Therefore, we place emphasis on imparting the skills so that you can enjoy the ocean safely on your own even after participating in the tour.
The course lasts 30 to 40 minutes and teaches you the techniques you need to enjoy snorkeling safely. The content of our courses has been officially adopted as the curriculum of international diving certification organizations.
It has been very well received by first-time snorkelers and those who want to learn how to use a snorkel properly, and we have received many comments from customers such as "It's the first time I've ever felt so comfortable breathing" and "The instructions were so detailed that I was able to participate with confidence."
This tour allows you to enjoy the beach without getting on a boat, so even those who are worried about seasickness can rest assured!
Come join us and experience the wonderful ocean fun in Miyakojima, which boasts some of the clearest waters in Okinawa!
