Disorienting - An agricultural island with sublime beaches.
Very easy to visit by bike.
Please note, if you want to rent a car, don't forget to have your driving license translated into Japanese on a special form.
Impossible to do this on the island.
The water is beautiful, ideal for snorkeling.
Miyakojima is not Tokyo... Pay attention to the opening hours of restaurants...

Fun while snorkeling in the corals with turtles - We had a lot of fun. Our guide (Yuto) was very friendly, fun and helpful: on top of helping us with the equipment and showing us around, he also told us a lot of fun and interesting facts about the marine life (in English).
We managed to see a turtle together with a lot of different corals and fishes. Also, pictures were taken and were shared with us at the end of the tour which was fantastic. Highly recommended.

SUP/Pumpkin Cave - It was my first time experiencing SUP and Pumpkin Cave.
They taught me carefully so it didn't take long for me to get used to it. They took lots of photos for me so I'm really looking forward to looking back at them!
I'd like to ask them again next time.

I am very satisfied! - It was my first time doing SUP, but I didn't think it would be this much fun! ✨ They kindly taught me how to ride and paddle. The weather was perfect, and I was able to take lots of photos, so it was a really good memory ☺️ It was also my first time touring a limestone cave, but I was able to enjoy the tour with the other participants.
Our guide, Kay, was the best fun! It was a very satisfying experience 🥰

First SUP for parents and children - It was my first time experiencing SUP, but the instructor Kei taught me step by step, so I had a lot of fun. He guided me to a good position to take photos, and gave me a lot of advice when I couldn't move the way I wanted because of the waves. He even showed me how to do a handstand on the SUP. I highly recommend it!

Snorkeling - The blue world that spread out as far as the eye could see gave us a strong sense of being in an extraordinary place.
The guide's explanations were easy to understand and he was calm, so even those without prior knowledge could enjoy the experience.
Even when we had some trouble, he responded quickly, so we were able to snorkel with peace of mind.

Snorkeling - It was my first time snorkeling, but they explained everything to me carefully so I felt at ease.
The explanation of what was underwater was also impeccable, and they took me to a wonderful world.
I'd definitely like to use this service again!
Thank you!!!

Great guide, but disappointing tour - The guide was friendly and took great care of us. He informed us, once we got to the snorkeling spot, that there was a 30-40 percent chance of seeing sea turtles which would have been nice to know beforehand. Unfortunately we didn’t see any and having seen the spot we were taken I can’t help but wonder if this is really the best spot for it. The snorkeling isn’t great either at this spot compared to other places.. Looking back I wished we had chosen some another tour/operator.
