My child was thrilled to be surrounded by colorful tropical fish and had a great time. Even when we were riding the banana boat to the snorkeling spot, the staff kept a close eye on my child and spoke to them, which gave me, as a parent, a great sense of peace of mind. They also provided careful assistance during the snorkeling, and our whole family was able to fully enjoy Okinawa’s beautiful ocean. It was also a huge help that we could rent all the necessary equipment. It was a wonderful memory.

I took part in a snorkeling tour around Sesoko Island. The ride on the banana boat was refreshing in the breeze, and I was able to see lots of colorful tropical fish—it was a truly rewarding experience. If I had to mention one thing, it was a bit of a hassle to adjust the equipment to fit, so I think it would go more smoothly if you checked the sizes in advance.
