Alissabeth_N, Jul 2026

Don’t miss this

Wonderful experience! Blue Cave is a popular spot, and having our own guide to take us through and document the experience for us allowed our family to relax and experience it. Everything was provided, and our guide spoke enough English to make sure we knew what to do. This was our teens first time snorkeling and was very easy and positive for them. The pics and videos are amazing!

Best day of our lives.

This experience was like being in a National Geographic documentary. Not only were our guides kind, they were informative and taught everyone on board to respect the environment and beautiful animals we were able to observe. Lunch was also delicious. This is an experience that will be a forever memory.

We absolutely loved this...

We absolutely loved this tour! The guide Hiro met us at the ferry terminal at 9AM with another group and drove all of us to the base of the mountain He provided us with the necessary equipment which includes hiking boots and a waterproof bag The hike is moderate level, we were definitely tired at the end but encountered elder people and children doing the same hike, just at a slower pace It was initially quite steep for about 20 minutes but the path is very safe and Hiro gave us very clear instructions at every step We also got to do some canoeing including through the mangroves The view at the too is absolutely beautiful and we ended the hike with a swim at the bottom of a waterfall - it was absolutely worth it Our guide Hiro was absolutely amazing, he was always happy and dynamic, taught us about the wildlife and Japanese culture He took so many pictures of us including candid photos, that we will keep as great memories He even made us a delicious lunch! Would absolutely recommend this tour.

A great snorkelling tour!

It was very well organised. We were on a cruise and they picked us up from the port and dropped us off at the end of the tour. We met Mami on site who was extremely friendly and patient attending all the participants needs. We were in a small group and left with amazing pictures. The communication before the tour was excellent and reassuming. Strongly recommend!

Clear direction of the meeting location with free parking. Clear instructions on where to change into wet suit, spacious number of changing rooms and they have gears even for my 4 year old. Love the warm water shower to rinse off sand and sea water after the snorkel. Guide took us to another beach with lots of fishes as the blue cave was restricted due to strong waves. English and mandarin speaking guide lady was very clear on how to use snorkel gears and also sprayed anti fog solution on all our goggles. Free photos provided and we top up jpy3000 for video recordings for our family. Highly recommended!

Okinawa Shore Excursion: Custom Car Tour, Licensed Guide

Outstanding tour of Okinawa with Mr Hyde

Outstanding day in Naha with Mr Hyde. Communications were excellent before and during tour. Seamless pickup at the port. We saw and learned a lot about the history and culture of Okinawa and its strategic importance today. Mr Hyde shared his personal stories of life after WW2. The Navy underground Headquarters is amazing as well as the peace memorial & museum. Both are very well done. The car was spotless and very comfortable. We highly recommend this tour as top notch way to see and understand the relationship of Okinawa to Japan, the region and the world.

All-Inclusive Ishigaki Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

Kara_H, Apr 2026

Super-fun tour!

Sander was an awesome tour guide. He was flexible, enthusiastic and loads of fun. The spider monkey experience was probably my favorite thing I’ve done in Japan. Sander helpfully took a bunch of pictures during our tour and sent them to us afterwards which was great because he got fun action shots that we couldn’t get ourselves. The glass bottom boat was interesting but a little sad because there was so much dead coral. Sander picked out the most beautiful spots on the island to share with us. He also had made videos for us to watch between stops that were informative and showed some great drone footage of the island. We couldn’t be happier.

Okinawa: Scuba Diving Tour with Wagyu BBQ Lunch and English guide

Cat_H, Mar 2026

Literally the best Scuba experience!

We went in October 2025 and oh my goodness. I’m terrible at writing reviews, but I have thought so much about this dive experience the last 5 months that I just cannot go without writing a review for this excursion. My husband and I have been on several uncertified dives (St Martin. Cozumel, Hawaii twice) and this particular one in Okinawa was by far the BEST dive experience! We saw way more here than any of our other dives. The instructor (I think his name was Toshi) was also incredible! And he took really, really great photos of us during the experience which have been so fun to look back on. These are seriously our best scuba pictures. So clear, some with turtles, and the coral is actually pretty in the photos. So patient, kind, and prepped the greatest lunch for us. Also the view while eating lunch you cannot beat. It was so convenient that Toshi also picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off back at the hotel. That was a huge plus. He was so easy and fun to talk to as well. No part of was awkward, even it just being my husband and I and Toshi. We have recommended this experience to so many friends and family once we got back to the states that I figured I really should just write a review and recommend to the whole world. Wish words did this experience justice. We would go back to Okinawa for literally just this scuba experience again. If you don’t choose this excursion you will surely miss out. It was 100% worth the money. You will not find a cooler experience than this one!
