The cave is amazing.
However, there were some concerns regarding hygiene management in terms of facilities. Additionally, we had to wait over an hour for parking. It felt quite excessive.洞窟は最高
設備の面では衛生管理では、疑問点がのこりました。また、駐車場でも、1時間以上入るのにまちました。もう結構という感じでした。

Due to the Obon season, it was quite crowded. I contacted them by phone the day before, and since traffic to the parking lot was expected to be heavy, we arranged to meet an hour and a half earlier than planned. I couldn't fully enjoy my hotel stay and left early in the morning with a sense of regret.

I couldn't fully enjoy my hotel stay and left early in the morning with a sense of regret. Following the advice, we arrived without getting caught in the congestion, but we had to wait for nearly 30 minutes because other participants in our group were delayed. After arriving, we also had to wait for them to change, which added quite a bit of downtime. The dive started quite formally, but I was satisfied as I could see fish and other marine life. The Blue Cave experience felt rushed; we took a photo in turn and then quickly moved on, which left me somewhat unsatisfied.

The tour advertised free photos and towels, but we didn't receive any towels, and the photos were to be sent via LINE after exchanging contact information, which felt a bit disorganized. The staff seemed like young, energetic guys, which might not be suitable for families. お盆シーズンということもあり、かなりの混雑。前日にTEL連絡で駐車場までの車がかなり混むので前倒しにと予定より１時間半ほど早い集合に。ホテル滞在をあまり満喫できず、後ろ髪惹かれる思いで早朝出発を。助言通り混雑に巻き込まれず到着できましたが、同じ回の他の参加者の到着が遅れているとかで３０分弱待つことに。到着後もその方たちの着替えを待ちと結構のロスタイム。ダイブは結構事務的にスタートしましたが、魚などは見え満足です。青の洞窟は順番でと写真を撮ったらさっさと移動という感じであまり満足できませんでした。

ツアーに写真、タオル無料とありますがタオルも渡されることなく、写真もLINEで送りますとLINE交換したりと若干手際が悪い感じです。
若いイケイケのお兄さんって感じで、ファミリーにはちょっと不向きかもしれません。

I was looking for a morning snorkeling tour and decided to join this one. Depending on the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, which changed the purpose of the tour, and I was disappointed. I do enjoy snorkeling, so I had some fun, but the guide's attitude wasn't very good, and most of the photos we received were blurry, which made it even more disappointing.早朝シュノーケルを探していて決めました。
天候にもよるかもしれませんが、青の洞窟には行けずこのツアーの目的も変わってしまって残念でした。
シュノーケルは好きなのでそれなりに楽しめましたが、ガイドさんの態度もあまり良くなくいただいた写真データもほとんどボケていたため更に残念な感じでした。

Unfortunately, the Blue Cave was closed due to the weather. It was also cold with low temperatures. If possible, since it was due to the weather, I would have liked the option to cancel if we couldn't go to the Blue Cave.あいにくの天気で、青の洞窟は封鎖されていました。気温も低く寒かったです。
できれば、天候によるものなのでしょぅないですが青の洞窟に行けない場合は、キャンセル可能にしてほしかった。

On the morning of the event, there was a small mistake by the guide that delayed the start. Aside from that, it was a memorable snorkeling experience that deserves a perfect score. The guide's great personality made up for the mistake (laughs). If there's another opportunity, I would definitely love to join again! Thank you!当日の朝、ガイドさんのふとしたミスがありスタートが遅れた。
それを除けば思い出に残る満点を付けれるシュノーケリングでした。
ガイドさんの良い人柄はミスも帳消しするでしたし(笑)
またの機会ありましたら是非宜しくです！
ありがとうございました！

The day before the tour, I received a call from the instructor. "The waves are high, so we might not be able to go to the Blue Cave tomorrow..." I was nervous as I awaited the next morning, but the result was a closure. The sky was clear, so I thought we could go, but it seems the high waves made it impossible. I was shocked...

Instead, they took us to a nearby spot where there were lots of fish, so I participated in the tour as planned.

In the end, it was incredibly fun! The sea was beautiful, and they chose a calm spot, so the kids were able to swim happily. We even saw Nemo!

The price included the rental of a full wetsuit and towel, underwater camera shooting, and the data gift, so I was very satisfied.

The instructor kept the tour lively and engaging, so I would like to participate again the next time I go to Okinawa. ツアーに参加日の前日にインスタントラクターの方から電話。「波が高く明日は青の洞窟までは行けないかも…」とのこと。ドキドキして翌朝を迎えましたが結果はクローズ。空は快晴なので行けると思ったんですがやはり波が高く無理と判断されたみたいです。ショック…。その代わり、近場でたくさんお魚がいるところに連れてってくれるということでそのままツアーに参加しました。

結果、もの凄い楽しかったです！
海はキレイだったし、波も穏やかなところをえらんでくれたので子供たちもご機嫌に泳げました。

The day before, I received a call saying there was a high possibility we wouldn't be able to go to the Blue Cave the next day, so I changed our morning tour to the early afternoon. As a result, we indeed couldn't go to the Blue Cave. That was disappointing, but the instructors were cheerful, and we had a great time. My child lost a fin, but I appreciate how kindly they handled the situation.前の日に、明日は青の洞窟に行けない可能性が高いという電話をいただいたので、朝早くの回を昼過ぎにしました。結果やはり青の洞窟に行くことはできませんでした。そこは残念でしたが、インストラクターのお兄さん達が明るくて、楽しい時間でした。フィンを子供が流してしまいましたが、優しく対応していただき感謝しています。

Due to the waves, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we went snorkeling at a nearby beach. To make the most of the day, we joined at 7 AM. It was just us, and the sea was almost empty.

Therefore, I suggest making an inquiry before booking. 前日の前線の影響で青の洞窟はクローズしており、見る事が出来ませんでした。
タイトルの通り青の洞窟のシュノーケリングツアーだったので、残念でしたが、ガイドさんは近くの岩場でシュノーケリングをしてガイドしてくれました。寒いこともあり水が冷たかったですが、とても綺麗な海で魚もたくさんいて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
青の洞窟に必ず行きたいって方は、事前にショップなどに問い合わせすれ一番確率の高い日を教えてくれるとの事です。なので、問い合わせしてから予約することをお勧めします。

We participated as a family of four with our two elementary school-aged sons. Due to the weather, we couldn't go to the Blue Grotto, but instead, we were able to go snorkeling at a nearby beach. In a way, snorkeling in such a wavy sea might have been a rare experience. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable, so all the kids had a great time.

The only downside was that we couldn't borrow towels. We had brought some just in case, so it worked out.小学生の息子2人と家族4人で参加しました。

I was worried because my daughter lacked confidence in swimming, but the instructor took her with a float, so we were able to enjoy ourselves as a parent and child without any worries. The cave was beautiful, but I was also very impressed by the stunning underwater scenery on the way there. I was concerned it would be cold in the sea during mid-winter, but it was not a problem at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable and not crowded! I think it's better to bring your own bath towel.娘が泳ぎに自信がなくて心配しましたが、インストラクターさんが浮き輪で連れていってくれるので、安心して親子で楽しむことができました。
洞窟も綺麗ですが、行くまでの海中もとても綺麗で感動しました。

On the day of the tour, I received a message asking if I could come earlier because the weather looked questionable. I informed them that I had a tight schedule and could only make it at the earliest time available, which seemed to leave them a bit uncertain, but the guide was very friendly. They took a lot of photos for me, and it became a wonderful memory.当日に観光中、天気が怪しいので早めに来られますか？と連絡があり、予定が詰まっており最速でこの時間ですと伝えると、うーんという感じでしたが、とても気さくなガイドさんでした。
