    This was such a great experience! The main tour guide (I think her name was Noah) was literally one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Super passionate about her job and just so welcoming. The scuba diving was great and so was the snorkeling. There was a lot of time spent in the water so that was extra fun!

    Amazing experience from start to finish. The crew was professional, kind, and made every moment enjoyable. My sisters and I loved exploring all three snorkeling and diving spots 🥰

    It was wonderful, my first time ever diving (I've snorkled before) and i was definitely a little scared at first but i loved it. We got to see clown fish, water snakes and a lot of gorgeous fish. While snorkling we got lucky and saw a sea turtle as well. As soon as the fun ended i wanted to go again! Loved it!

    Well worth it!

    No communication

    Bad experience with this company. No customer service and no communication. We were waiting for our transfers from our hotel to the port. No show. We reached out to the tour operator again by phone and were told that our trip got canceled the day before. They never informed us through email or responded on my transportation message. We had to find that it was canceled on the day of our trip where my family woke up early and got ready. We’re very disappointed on the customer service provided. They need to have a better communication to guests. They finally responded to my message an 1 1/2 hour after the tour suppose to start. I wouldn’t use this tour company again.

    Most memorable part of Okinawa!

    Berry is the best! They take you to the best of Kerama. Very accommodating staff is friendly and experienced. Lots of beginners to the ocean but highly skilled staff takes care of everyone. Boat is comfortable with lots of space and beautiful view from up top! Highly recommended!

    It was an amazing experience. We loved it. The water was so clear. Colors were so vibrant. It was our first experience and it was awesome.

    Great people

    I did diving for the first time with this company and I would honestly like to thank them for the experience. The dive was good but unfortunately the sea was rough that day and I got very sick. Everybody on board has been very helpful and patient. Please note and take sea sickness medication before🙏🏻

    Beautiful tour, be aware of health disclosures in diving requirements

    Kathryn_S, Sep 2024
    Overall the experience out on the water was great. Unfortunately I was denied diving upon checkin because I disclosed that I took medication. Their policy is any medication could be harmful so you need doctor approval, no matter what it is. My husband was still permitted to dive and he really enjoyed it. I only had the option to snorkel the whole time while everyone else on the boat dove. It is a lovely location and the crew were extremely responsive and helpful. After the trip they sent photos they took of us in the water. I do not know if this was a mixup on Viator or the dive company or both because I was not made aware prior to the reservation booking that I would need a doctor signoff. I am PADI certified so I should probably have known that this sort of thing is common, but considering this is offered to non certified divers, I was surprised at the lack of forewarning. After booking they send out your reservation details and in the know before you go section there is a link to a medical check. They do not provide any other language other than the link itself, so I missed this prior to my trip. Then on the medical check it still does not specify what would be grounds for not participating. They list a ton of conditions, ranging from hyper specific (BMI>35) to vague, like any sort of injury. This is not an intake form however, and the language does not really make clear that you need to present a doctor signoff if you are going to declare you have these problems. Intake form happens at the dive shop, and this sheet is not the same as what it is on the website. I totally understand there is some cultural and language barriers here, so I am doing my best to describe my experience for others who will undoubtedly have a similar experience. I was really disappointed in not being able to dive and could have easily preempted this if I knew I needed a doctor note and/or what my personal health disclosures would mean.

    Experience of a lifetime

    Taynia_A, Jul 2024
    Went with my wife and kids and had a blast. We have never scuba dived before and were a little apprehensive at first but the guides were professional, spoke English, very friendly, and with you every step. The water was clear and blue and the fish and corals were beautiful. We even had a sea turtle buddy swimming with us.

    Fully worth the money. I...

    Fully worth the money. I have only one remark about the lack of warm-up before swimming; personally, I didn't expect it to be so strenuous, which resulted in strong arm pains for the rest of the day after the trip.

    Irresponsible

    MariaLaura_S, Apr 2024
    There were severe thunderstorms on the day of my reservation to the point that I received an emergency landslide warning from the environment ministry on my phone. Marine Berry did not consider this enough of a reason to cancel the excursion and refused to refund me. They also wouldn't allow me to dive due to my antidepressant prescription which was not a problem in two other countries, and wouldn't reduce the cost of my trip to a snorkeling trip. Not wanting to lose my payment, I decided if the boat captain was comfortable going out in this weather we would go. The waves were so terrible half the partcipants got deeply seasick and puked the whole time. This caused the crew to decide to stay at our second location rather than proceeding to a third location, and cut the trip short. No one received any compensation for this. Despite the booking process being in English and the tour saying they had english speaking guides, only one guide spoke english and he provided very little guidance. My husband was allowed to dive but they held his hands the whole 5 minutes that he was down there (we were promised 30) doing a photoshoot. They gave him no instructions so when he got underwater his ears were in a lot of pain. There was thunder and lightning the entire time we were in the boat and in the water. The crew discarded several locations because the waters were too rough to stop the boat. Where we did snorkel the visibility was poor because of the storm. I gave this two stars instead of one because the Kerama Island corals are a treasure and if you have the opportunity to see them another way you should.

    Best trip ever

    Rachael_F, Jul 2023
    It’s hard to pick just one part to be my favourite. Everything was great. The location was amazing, the staff were lovely and helpful, lunch was delicious, the driving was incredible and I’ll never forget it. Honestly the best thing I’ve done in life and I would recommend it to anyone I talk to!
