[Why beginners choose this tour] We'll eliminate any fears of entering the ocean. Practice starts in shallow water where you can touch the ground with your feet. For those who are afraid to put their face in the water, we provide goggles and swim rings. Our experienced guides will gently teach you step-by-step. We'll also provide a fun explanation of the ecology of sea turtles! It's not just about swimming. Your guide will talk about the names and personalities of sea turtles, as well as other marine life in a fun way. It's also very popular as a "summer vacation hands-on learning experience" for children. You can participate empty-handed! All equipment is included. All necessary tools are provided. All you need to do is float in a life jacket, so even those who aren't confident in their physical strength can feel at ease. [Schedule (Example: 9:00 AM Meeting Time)] Meeting and Check-in. Meet with local staff in the parking lot. Preparation and Lecture (We'll teach you how to use the equipment). Entry (Slowly move from shallow waters to the ocean). Sea turtle search and snorkeling (A fascinating 60 minutes!). Finish and Disband (Change clothes and go sightseeing!) [Important Notice for July, August, and September Guests] The meeting point, Aragusuku Beach, is a very popular beach, so the parking lot fills up quickly. Because we've seen an increasing number of visitors unable to find a parking spot, we strongly recommend arriving 90 minutes before the meeting time. Getting up a little early and taking a stroll along the quiet beach in the morning is also a pleasant experience! [Price Includes] Snorkeling equipment, life jacket, marine shoes. Photo data (unlimited, free). Guide fee, insurance. [Important Information About the Event and Meeting Location] We will guide you to the calmest and safest beach for that time of year based on the wind direction and sea conditions. April to October: Aragusuku Beach November to March: Shigira Beach or Waiwai Beach *Because the beaches are affected by northerly winds from November to March, the event will be held at the above beaches where you can avoid the wind and swim more calmly.
The calm waters provide ample opportunities to observe sea turtles up close eating and resting.
A professional photographer will take your travel memories! Free photo data will be provided!
