A Wonderful Trip to Phantom Island

This was such a fantastic experience! From the very beginning to the end of the tour, the guides were professional, friendly, and well organized. Their enthusiasm and love for the ocean really stood out. Phantom Island was absolutely stunning, and the snorkeling was far more exciting than we expected. I would highly recommend this tour to families and anyone trying snorkeling for the first time. P.S. A special thank-you to Akari for being so kind and helpful in guiding our Korean family, especially when everything felt new and unfamiliar to us!

The guides are the best!

I experienced landing and snorkeling on Ishigaki Island for the first time. The guide was just so friendly and kind to the children. My oldest was so excited that he immediately wrote it in his summer homework picture diary. My youngest child seemed to be scared of the sea and ships, so I couldn't experience it well, but he talked to me and cared about me. It was my first time snorkeling for two adults, but they taught me carefully so I enjoyed the experience. It was a great experience to see the beautiful ocean, fish and corals like you see in pictures. After the tour, the oldest child said he still wanted to snorkel, so we talked about whether there was another tour, but they were friendly and arranged a Blue Cave tour for us another day. Thank you very much for your time ^_^ I hope to see you again when I visit Ishigaki island. I went to the Yaeyama Soba restaurant that I was taught! It was very good.

Wonderful snorkeling

The tour was absolutely amazing! We went snorkeling on the coral reef, and I had never seen such beautiful corals before. 🪸 There were fish of every color, and afterwards we went to Phantom Island for a swim and to take some beautiful photos. 🌊📷 Our guide, Akari, was with us the whole time. She made me feel safe and well looked after throughout the tour. She also speaks excellent English, shared lots of interesting stories with us, and gave us great recommendations for places to eat after the tour. 🍔

The sea and staff are the best!

Thank you very much for your help the other day. Thank you so much for treating my daughter kindly and respectfully. During the snorkeling, they were kind enough to check on my daughter and gave me peace of mind to participate as a family. Including the contact with the staff, it was a great memory for my daughter. The sea from the phantom island was truly spectacular and the sea was very beautiful at the point of snorkeling. I was able to fully enjoy the beauty of the sea in Yaeyama, as I could see corals well in the sea. The staff were also kind and we had a great time with the family. Thank you very much.

Fun experience

I booked the tour because it was a safe and highly rated company among a variety of tour companies. The staff were very kind, cheerful and friendly. At first, the kids were scared of snorkel masks, but the person in charge was very supportive and I was able to enjoy swimming on my own midway through. He told me about Ishigakijima's recommendations on the boat, so I went straight away. We are talking about increasing the number of nights we stay next year and doing other plans. Thank you very much.

Thank God your guide is so kind!

I joined on a family trip from Aomori. The guides were very kind and taught me a lot. It was the first time for the children to snorkel with Akari-san as their guide, but I was grateful to him for speaking to me immediately when he said it looked fun and dangerous. He was very kind to ask me if I would take a picture. We also had an evening tour of Sagaribana, but the Sagaribana was scattered and other tours for the same price! It was a satisfying tour with high communication skills, and they presented us with “What are you doing?” Thank you very much.
