We were able to experience both river kayaking and snorkeling and even saw a sea turtle. It was also attractive that there was an underwater camera available for rent so that we could take pictures.

We joined this tour because we were told that there was a high chance of encountering sea turtles. The sea was calm and easy to swim, and both children and adults enjoyed the tour. Photos and videos are also free of charge, which is a nice feature.

I joined here for my first diving experience. We were taught in a very detailed and easy-to-understand manner for beginners, and we were able to enjoy the ocean. It was November, but it was quite warm in the sea because I was wearing a diving suit. The transparency of the sea was not so clear due to the weather, but if I have a chance to visit Yakushima again, I will come again.

I was captivated by the world of blue and silence that spread out under the sea. Swimming with sea turtles is too luxurious an experience. I am so glad I had this experience while I was still in my 20s.

At first I was skeptical, "Can we really see sea turtles?" But within 30 minutes of the start of the tour, we encountered a sea turtle! I was impressed that I could swim so close to the turtles. The facilities were well equipped and I was able to enjoy it comfortably.

Even as a beginner, I was happy to see the beautiful ocean and sea turtles! I forgot to take anti-sickness medicine and got wave-sick, but they were very supportive and reassuring. I was very satisfied with the service, including a shower after the tour!
