      Frequently asked questions about this plan
      Q. Will snorkeling be cancelled due to rain?

      If the sea is not too rough, snorkeling will be held even if it is raining.

      If the sea becomes rough due to strong winds, the point will be changed or cancelled, but don't worry, you can still enjoy snorkeling even if it rains a little.

      Q. Can I snorkel even if I can't swim?
      You will be fine! You will wear a wetsuit so you will be buoyant. The instructor will also bring buoys for you to hold on to if you get tired of swimming.
      Q. Is there anything I need to prepare in advance?

      You will need to wear a swimsuit in advance, flip-flops, sunscreen (if necessary), and a towel. We will provide rental equipment such as wetsuits and masks, and tea.

      If you are prone to motion sickness, it is advisable to take an anti-sickness medicine beforehand. (Even in calm seas, some sensitive people can get drunk.)

      Q. Are there changing rooms and showers?

      Please be assured that we have them available. During the summer, we ask that you use the changing rooms and showers at the beach. Otherwise, we have showers and changing rooms with warm water available near the snorkel sites.

      There are no hair dryers, etc., but there are power outlets available, so if you need one, please bring it with you.

      Q. Can I participate by myself?
      You can join us even if you are alone. Come and meet sea turtles in your free time on your arrival or departure day!
      Q. Can my child participate with me?

      Children of elementary school age and older are welcome to participate.

      If you want to spend a relaxing time with your family, you can apply for the "Charter Plan" and enjoy snorkeling one-on-one with your family and instructor. (Tour fee + 10,000 yen will be charged)

      We happened to be blessed with good weather and excellent underwater visibility. I was skeptical when I heard that there was a high chance of seeing sea turtles, but I was excited to actually see them.

      I was looking for an activity that my mother, who is almost 70 years old, could participate in and found this tour. Thanks to her wetsuit, she was able to enjoy the tour without any worries about buoyancy, and to her surprise, she was able to see sea turtles up close! The guide was kind and helpful, and my mother was very satisfied, saying that it was one of the best memories of her life. Thank you very much.

      This was my first visit to Yakushima. I did not expect to experience such beautiful sea in Yakushima! Even though I am a snorkeling beginner, I had a great time and felt safe and comfortable the whole time. The free camera rental was also a nice bonus!
