Q&A about this plan Ask question about this plan

Q. We would be keen to snorkel at 8am tomorrow, however with the weather forecast to be rainy and windy, we are worried that this may not be the best time. Do you think the weather conditions will be OK for good snorkelling or would you recommend postponing when the weather is clearer? Thank you

A. The "weather" such as "sunny" or "rainy" is not so important for snorkeling and diving.

It is the "sea conditions" that determine whether an activity will be held.
Specifically, it is the direction and strength of the wind.

It does not necessarily mean that the ocean is quiet when it is "sunny" and rough when it is "rainy." In fact, the more rainy the day is, the quieter the ocean is, so the more often the activity will be held.
It is even more common for activities to be cancelled on sunny days.

However, if it rains heavily and the ocean becomes muddy, the activity will be canceled even if the ocean is quiet.

Q. Hello, I am wanting to snorkel at Isso beach on 6th June. We are catching a ferry from miyanoura at 1:30pm. Would it be possible to meet at Isso and be dropped back to Miyanoura? Thank you

A. Thank you for your inquiry.

It is possible to send you back to Miyanoura Port after the tour.
However, it may be a little too early.
There is still two and a half hours before the ferry departs, but there is no place to eat at Miyanoura Port, so we can take you back to the town of Miyanoura after the tour is over.
After lunch, you can make it if you walk slowly to the port.
