[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. If you have a lot of experience and would like to do skin diving, please contact the store directly in advance. □■□■□■ACTIVITY JAPAN・Special free benefits■□■□■□①Underwater commemorative photos and mini videos, gifts via LINE②Rental of prescription masks③Rental of towels④Great for women!

If you want to enjoy the ocean to the fullest, the best option is the sea turtle course, which includes two dives. You have a high chance of encountering sea turtles too!

The movement of the second dive will be smoother than the first dive, so your field of view will expand and you will be able to dive in search of sea turtles! You will definitely be fascinated by the beautiful fish, coral, and sea turtles that you didn't notice on the first dive! The required time can be shortened upon request.

This tour recruits a limited number of people every month, so first come, first served! And only for students! Reservations are for 3 people or more, and are recommended for those who come to play with friends during spring break or summer vacation! This plan was created to support the creation of memories for students who come to Amami Oshima. Why not try kayaking in the mangroves to make memories with your friends, such as on a graduation trip? You can land deep in the intricate jungle and on vast tidal flats that you cannot go on group tours!・Schedule ① Meet at Roadside Station Mangrove Park ② Arrival at the canoe boarding area, preparation lecture (15 minutes) We will explain how to row and precautions. ③Canoe tour (100 minutes) Let's row a canoe and explore the mangroves! The jungle, tree tunnels, tidal flats, and swarms of crabs are all extraordinary experiences. ⑤ Mangrove Park disbanded I hope you have the best memories of your trip.・About the tides Since mangroves are close to the ocean, the tides have a big effect on their location. This is a tour where you can row a canoe at both high and low tides. However, when the tide is high, the canoe travels through the channels inside the mangroves, and when the tide is low, the tidal flats appear, so they land on the tidal flats. If you have a preference, please let us know when making your reservation.・About tour safety The guide for this tour will be an instructor who has taken a kayak training program. We will provide appropriate lectures and advice to customers who are new to kayaking, and conduct tours in accordance with safety standards.・Others: This tour is not a private tour, and in some cases we may guide two groups at the same time. If you would like to have a private tour, you can choose this as an option.

This tour recruits a limited number of people every month, so first come, first served! And only for students! Reservations are for 3 people or more, and are recommended for those who come to play with friends during spring break or summer vacation! We will meet and disperse at Naze, so it will be smooth to return to the hotel after the event! This plan was created because we wanted students coming to Amami to learn as much as possible about the creatures on the island. Amami Oshima is an island rich in biodiversity. Amami rabbits, Amami Ishikawa frogs, Amami woodcocks, etc. can only be seen in this place on earth. Most of the rare animals on Amami Oshima are nocturnal. Let's drive slowly through the forest roads and look for various animals! A certified guide will happily introduce you to Amami's animals!・Schedule ① Meet at Naze (Nagahama Minato Park) ② Arrival at the forest. Pre-departure briefing The guide will explain precautions and how to look for animals. ③Tour starts! Let's look for living things! I get so excited when I find a creature by myself! ④Experience the Amami Forest See the stars and moon on a sunny day, fireflies in the summer, and on a rainy day...? There is a way to enjoy each! ⑤ Disband at Naze I hope you have the best memories of your trip.・Tour start and end times The tour takes 2 hours, and the meeting time varies depending on the season. Pick-up and drop-off is available only for those staying in Naze. Please let us know if you are interested.・Others: This tour is not a private tour, and in some cases we may guide two groups at the same time. If you would like to have a private tour, you can choose this as an option.・Regarding consideration for animals We use lights to observe animals at night, but on our tours we use red lights, which are said to be difficult for animals to see, with the aim of reducing stress on animals. Some participants have commented that red is difficult to see, so during observation, please switch to white light only for the minimum amount of time necessary to take photos.

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

It is an online tour of about 40 minutes. Yoron Island is famous for the spectacular view of Yurigahama that you want to go to before you die. There are 60 sandy beaches on Yoron Island, which is small with a circumference of 23 km. However, a large amount of stranded garbage has flowed to the beautiful sandy beach from overseas, which has become a big problem. Unji Jami, a beach cleaning volunteer who stood up to solve the problem, cleans the beach with tourists every morning from 6:30. The result is that the islanders and tourists act together under the slogan of "a sandy beach that is so beautiful that people come." In 2021, it was selected as one of the top 100 sustainable tourist destinations in the world. An immigrant guide will introduce you to the hidden charms of Yoron Island and the best travel plans for you. The morning on the island is very early. When you actually come to the island, it will be a guided tour of about 2 hours from 6 am. Clean up the beach with the islanders, and then observe the morning market and the morning life of the island. This online tour is a shortened version of that experience.
