For small children under 5 years old, we will provide a float with box glasses or a float with feet in it. We will prepare floats depending on the sea conditions on the day and the age of your child. The person who started the sea turtle boom will decide the meeting place from among the points on Miyakojima where you can swim with sea turtles, depending on the wind direction and tide movement on the day. Our proud snorkeling experience focuses on choosing the best points for the day! This is a tour that includes a mermaid experience that takes advantage of the nature of Miyakojima! The instructor in charge will take photos from various angles. Many wild sea turtles are friendly, so you can often swim at close range. We will start from the beach where you can touch your feet. We will search for points on the beach, so you will not be on a boat. This tour is sure to satisfy even first-timers. We make sure that even those who are new to the mermaid experience can take photos with confidence.
