[Free yourself from stress, float in the ocean with your loved ones, and enjoy a private sea turtle snorkeling trip] Imagine this. The blue ocean of Amami, the horizon, the sun pouring down, the sound of the waves, the feeling of the water and wind playing with your body. Floating in the ocean is more fun than you can imagine ♪ Why not experience this moving, soul-cleansing experience in a private, extraordinary world prepared just for our customers? Our sea turtle encounter rate has been 100% since 2010! This is possible because we have deep respect and love for the ocean and its creatures. Of course, there are times when you cannot meet them because you are dealing with nature. Whether they come to meet you depends on your daily behavior and luck ^^ Sea turtles are generally gentle, but they will be scared if you approach them forcefully from behind, so if you can swim with them, try to line up next to them slowly so as not to stress them out! If you have any questions during the experience, please feel free to ask the instructor! The actual time you will be in the ocean is about 60 minutes. The ocean is not only beautiful, but also contains many dangers and harshness. Respect nature, follow the instructor's instructions carefully, and go out to the sea safely! << Request for safety >> Since the number of participants is small, the instructor can keep an eye on all customers. We will guide you with an extra float, so even children and those who are not confident in swimming can participate with peace of mind. We ask customers to wear a wetsuit or life jacket.

Amami Oshima was registered as a World Natural Heritage Site in 2021. As the reason for its registration is ``biodiversity,'' this island has many unique flora and fauna. Yuwandake is the most important place where many endemic species live. There are two routes to climb Mt. Yuwandake, but on this tour, you will walk up the wooden stairs from the 9th parking lot to the observation deck and shrine near the top. It's not a mountain trail, so it's easy to walk, and you can observe plants unique to Mt. Yuwandake along the way. (Anyone who has no problem walking or going up and down stairs in daily life can participate. The walk will take about 30 minutes each way.) On a clear day, you can see a wide view of Amami Oshima from the observation deck. However, as the name ``cloud forest'' suggests, Mt. Yuwandake has a unique environment where clouds and fog gather throughout the year, and there is a lot of rain. Therefore, if you're lucky you can see the view from the observation deck, but for me (the guide), the real view is on rainy days. We want you to enjoy this natural environment! After Mt. Yuwandake, we will stop at Materia Falls to take commemorative photos and have tea time. Date: Meet at Naze Sports Park in Amami City or pick up at hotel ↓ Transfer to Mt. Yuwandake (travel time varies depending on the pick-up location) Arrival at Mt. Yuwandake parking lot ↓ Arrive at Nature Walk Observation Deck/Shrine while observing flora and fauna ↓ Arrival at Shimoyama parking lot ↓ Transfer 15 minutes Materia Falls ↓ Arrive at hotel on the way back
