Blue Cave Snorkeling

This was a fully booked snorkeling experience. Book early or you could miss out. Each group’s booking had their own snorkeling expert. This made for a very safe trip for both children & adults. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this company for Blue Cave snorkeling.

Genuinely the best time...

Genuinely the best time I've had. Super relaxing quiet space just for art. We made two little plate things which are super cute and we also picked out some kintsugi pieces at the end. The ladies have super clear instructions which made my time very relaxing as I knew what to do. Big thank you to you guys as we thoroughly enjoyed this!!!

nicholas_b, Jul 2026

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.

Sara_L, Jul 2026

It’s worth it!!!

Best experience ever. The staff is so experienced and friendly. It was my first time diving and they gave me all the instructions to make me feel comfortable and safe anytime. They called me to reschedule me because the weather conditions would not allow us to dive, so I really appreciate that they told me and gave me a space for the previous day.

Official Street Go-Kart Tour - Okinawa Shop

KarlGil_R, Jul 2026

Street kart is the best with John as guide

John was an outstanding guide from start to finish. He was professional, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. He took great care of our group, explained everything clearly, and made the street kart tour both fun and stress free. His attention to detail and genuine care for his clients really stood out. If you’re looking for a great street kart experience, I highly recommend requesting John. Thank you for making our trip such a memorable one!

Naha: Full-Day Introductory diving & Snorkeling in the Kerama Islands, Okinawa

Dorothy_V, Jun 2026

Great Time!

We did this tour on a beautiful Sunday, and the weather was perfect. I traveled with my husband and another couple, and we all had a great time. The tour guides were fun, knowledgeable, and able to explain the dive clearly in English. You can tell they genuinely enjoy their work and make the experience fun for everyone. I would highly recommend taking nausea medication beforehand, as a few people did get seasick on the boat, but that is to be expected with this type of tour. It is also a public tour using shared equipment, including snorkel gear and wetsuits, which is clearly advertised. If you are not comfortable with that, I would recommend bringing your own equipment. Overall, the other participants were friendly, the guides were wonderful, and we had a great experience.

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!

Blue Cave Introductory Dive–Private Guide, Boat Tour&Free Photos

Meaghan_M, May 2026

Highly recommend - so fun

I have snorkeled many times all over this world but this was my first diving experience. I cannot recommend it enough. Jun-San was the perfect guide and all the staff were kind and helpful. Even though my Japanese is quite limited, it was no problem. I recommend this for first time divers that want to get a feel and be out of the water my the time your ears are slightly uncomfortable. Jun-San took his time to explain everything without a sense of rushing. It was scary for about three minutes and then it was absolutely magical! Thanks all!

Okinawa Shore Excursion: Custom Car Tour, Licensed Guide

jeffrey_f, Apr 2026

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!
