Plan description

We're Smiley, a Miyakojima marine shop! As a snorkeling specialist in Miyakojima, we carefully guide each group through the thrilling experience of swimming with sea turtles. Miyakojima boasts one of the highest rates of sea turtle encounters in the world. Why not spend a special time swimming with adorable sea turtles in the crystal-clear waters? ⭐︎We offer a snorkeling plan with accompanying babysitter, recommended for families with young children. Children aged 1 and over are welcome. In addition to the guide, a babysitter who is a former kindergarten teacher or nurse will accompany you, so parents who are worried about their children and can't enjoy the ocean can participate with peace of mind. If your child is afraid of the ocean or is too scared to play in the water for long periods of time, the sitter will keep them safe while playing on the sand or in shallow waters at their own pace. This plan includes a dedicated babysitter in addition to the guide. Our sitters are either former kindergarten teachers or nurses, so even those with small children can participate with peace of mind. Mom and dad can focus on snorkeling with the sea turtles, while your children enjoy a happy, smiling time with the sitter. This is a family plan unique to Smiley that the whole family can enjoy without any stress. ■ Reasons to choose Smiley [1. Nearly 100% chance of encountering sea turtles!] We will guide you to an area of Miyakojima where you are particularly likely to encounter sea turtles. You will have an amazing experience seeing them up close. [2. 90% of participants are beginners! No need to worry, even if you're not good at swimming! If you need an easy-to-understand lesson, our professional guides will swim with you while pulling you with a float (floatation device). [3. Unlimited high-resolution photos free of charge] All underwater photos are taken by the guide. Requests for photos of you and the sea turtle, swimming poses, family photos, etc. are welcome! [④ The sea doesn't get muddy even on rainy days] Miyakojima has no mountains or rivers, so even in the rain the sediment doesn't wash away and the water doesn't get less clear, so it's actually recommended even on rainy days. [⑤ Guides who are attentive and considerate to you like family] Smiley values "tours that you can enjoy with a smile, like family, with peace of mind." We will guide you carefully in small groups. ■ Creatures you can see - Sea turtles (high chance of encountering them) - Schools of colorful tropical fish - Clownfish (Nemo), familiar from the movie

You can enjoy the place completely privately without worrying about others!

A private tour allows you to have a private experience, proceed at your own pace, have close communication with your guide, ensure safety, customize the tour to your needs, and have professional photos taken to commemorate your memories!

You can have these cute creatures all to yourself!
