It was my first time snorkeling, but the staff explained how to handle the equipment and the precautions clearly and kindly.

I’m not a strong swimmer, so I was a bit nervous, but the staff frequently checked in with me, and once I got into the water, I quickly got used to it and my nerves eased!!

I was able to see many beautiful fish and corals!! I had been a bit scared to try it before, but I wish I had challenged myself sooner. (laughs)

This was the most enjoyable trip I've had so far! Thank you very much!!
シュノーケリングをしたのは初めてでしたが、
器材の扱いや注意事項など、スタッフの方々がわかりやすく丁寧に説明してくれました。

泳ぐのも得意でないので少し緊張していましたが、スタッフの方がこまめに声かけしてくださり、海に入ってみたらすぐに慣れて緊張もほぐれました!!

綺麗な魚やサンゴをたくさん見ることができました!!
今までちょっと怖くてなかなか挑戦できなかったんですが、もっとはやく挑戦すればよかったと思いました。笑

幻の島も、今まで見たことない景色で新鮮で楽しかったです。

I traveled to Ishigaki Island for the first time, and I was truly moved to be able to land on Hatsushima when the weather was clear, which I had always wanted to do. For those who haven't been, I definitely recommend going!初めて石垣島に旅行にきて、絶対行きたいと思っていた初島に晴れてるときに上陸出来て本当に感動でした。行ったことない方は、是非とも行って欲しいです!

The phantom island (Hama Island) was shockingly beautiful. I was able to enjoy it to the fullest within the limited time I had.

After moving, I was informed that the snorkeling would take place around the waters off Taketomi Island, rather than Ishigaki Island. The handsome captain and everyone at Pushiinushima Ishigaki were very accommodating and quick, allowing my family to experience it with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

I was so captivated by the clarity of the seawater that I became absorbed in snorkeling, but I did feel quite a strong current. However, they provided life jackets and flotation devices, so even my elementary school-aged daughter was able to enjoy it safely.
幻の島(濱島)は衝撃的に綺麗でした。限られた時間の中で精一杯楽しめました。
移動してからのシュノーケリングは石垣島より竹富島沖合辺りだとご説明でした。
ぷしぃぬしま石垣店のイケメンキャプテン他皆様の対応が非常に良くて、機敏で
安心して家族を体験させることができました。どうもありがとうございました。
海水の透明感に気を取られてシュノーケリングに夢中になりがちでしたが、かなり
潮の流れがあると感じたが、救命胴衣と浮棒等も用意してくれたので、小学校低学年
女子でも安心して楽しめました。

Experience of snorkeling.

It was my first time snorkeling.
So, it was tough to wear the snorkeling gear.
Instead, I wore regular goggles to see the fish.
I was disappointed that I couldn't wear the snorkeling gear, but I was happy to see so many fish.
I want to try snorkeling again.

Thank you, sir.
私はシュノーケリングをするのは初めてでした。
なので、シュノーケリングをつけるのはきつかったです。
だから普通のゴーグルをつけて魚を見ました。
シュノーケリングをつけれなかったのは悔しかったけれどいっぱい魚を見れたのは
嬉しかったです。
またシュノーケリングをもう一回したいと思います。

お兄さん、ありがとうございました。
