Clownfish & Coral Watching Beach Snorkeling Tour
This is a safe and reliable snorkeling tour guided by a long-established marine company with approximately 40 years of experience.
With the desire to "teach as many people as possible how to enjoy the wonderful world of the ocean,"
We emphasize acquiring skills that allow you to enjoy yourself safely even after the tour is over.
Each session is a full 30-40 minutes long, ensuring that even beginners can participate with confidence.
Even first-time participants have given us positive feedback, saying things like, "It's easier to breathe now," and "The instruction is thorough and easy to understand."
This teaching method has also been adopted into the curriculum of a global diving certification organization.
Since it's a beach entry, there's no need to worry about seasickness, and anyone can easily participate!
Come and experience amazing marine activities with us in Miyako Island's crystal-clear waters!
