BEACH SNORKELING

The best sea of the day, entering from the beach

We look at the sea on the day, and the instructor takes you to the spot in the best condition.

We are open from November through March. Our private boat tours pause over that period,
but this plan runs all year round.
If you would rather learn to dive down, see Skin Diving (from ¥10,800) as well.

Held at one of three beaches on the main island

How the beach is chosen

The instructor picks one of the three after looking at the sea on the day.
Even on the same date, a change in wind direction changes which beach is best. We do not fix it in advance, so that we can take you to the best water available.

※ The instructor decides the beach by 20:30 the day before, based on the conditions for that day.
※ We will do our best to honour a preference, but conditions may make your preferred beach impossible.
※ At some beaches, parking and showers are paid (payable by you on site).

How the day goes

Meeting upCome straight to the beach we have chosen. Call or message us when you arrive and your guide will join you. We send the contact number for the day once your booking is confirmed.
Briefing｜15 minHow the gear works and the safety briefing. We watch how comfortable you are in the water and set a range that suits you.
Entering｜10 minWe walk in from the beach. You get used to breathing where you can still stand, then move on.
Snorkeling｜50 minWe move slowly to the best spot of the day, resting as we go. This is when we take the photos.
Exiting｜15 minCome out, take the gear off, and that is the end.
Your photosWe hand over the photo data on the spot. You take home everything we shot.

The total is about 90 minutes, up to the moment you come out of the water. Changing time is not included.

LOCATIONSThe three beaches

Which one it is depends on the sea that day. Tell us if you have a preference. We will do our best to honour it, but conditions may make your preferred beach impossible.

Cape Maeda

Onna Village — known as the Blue Cave

Home to the Blue Cave, famous among divers. Light pours down through the water, but it is popular and gets crowded. Parking ¥100/hour, shower ¥200, toilets and changing rooms free.

Nakayukui

Seragaki, Onna Village

Shallow sand continues for about 300m. With luck you may meet a sea turtle — they are wild, so we cannot promise it. The name means “a short rest” in the local dialect. Free parking for 24 cars. No shower, no toilets, no shade.

Sakimotobu Park

Motobu Town — known as Gorilla Chop

Past the sand there is a pier that feels like an underwater jungle gym. Good if you like man-made structures underwater. The best equipped of the three. Free parking for 92 cars, paid shower, changing rooms and lockers.
