Amazing snorkeling experience with Akali

5.00We had a great snorkeling experience with Akali, which was the perfect guide: friendly, professional and very attentive throughout the tour. The corals in Ishigaki were absolutely stunning, with plenty of colorful fishes. Everything was well organized and we felt safe and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend this experience!
Great

5.00My tour guide Kameyama Akari is very good. My daughter is a little afraid of water. She guided her all the way and took her to dive with me.
Friendly Akari guide and Blue Cable Tour

5.00Blue Cable Tour with Akari Guide. The guide is very kind and please take care. It was a much more authentic tour than I thought. The deeper the ocean, the more observable, the more systematic the program. But I was a more satisfying tour especially thanks to the Akari guide. You can communicate in English, Japanese and Korean as much as you need, so you probably have no problems with English.
Good service and good tour

5.00If the time is a little delayed from the start of the tour to the pick-up until the guidance, the more delayed you will be, ask for an explanation and tell me why you are late. My guide who cares and cares about one person while snorkelling was so good. Korean and mother tongue are basic, and English is too good, communicate properly and speak the language. It was so good to check the condition while talking. If you come back to Ishigaki, you will definitely use this company again and try this review without any trouble. My guide was akari and the service and guidance of arai was very good 😆
I enjoyed it.

5.00It started with a fun story along the way and was fun for the whole family. They also took a lot of photos and videos without realizing it, which will be a memory. Thank you very much.
Very enjoyable snorkeling tour

4.00Due to weather conditions we didn't get to visit Blue Cave, but did get to snorkel on another beach, Osaki Beach. Osaki Beach had a lot of different fish and corals to see, and we got to see three different sea turtles and two sea snakes. Our instructor, Hiroki, made the whole experience very enjoyable with his friendly and energetic personality. Snorkeling while on vacation on Ishigaki island is a must, and I recommend trying this tour. We did the snorkeling tour in late March 2026.
Great snorkelling experience

5.00We had booked the blue cave, but due to bad weather we couldn’t make it. The team was very proactive and found an alternative for snorkelling at a beach. Our guide, Akari, was very helpful and very positive, bringing great energy to the tour.
First snorkeling tour with Akari san and a baby turtle

5.00I went to Osaki beach instead of Blue Cave due to weather condition. And met a baby turtle surfacing the ocean. The turtle stayed for some time surrounded by us. A truly miraculous moment. It was all thanks to our guide, Akari San. She led us so comfortably providing useful local information and tried her best to help us enjoy the trip till the end. Strongly recommended!
Amazing!!

5.00Amazing!! My two sons were nervous about snorkelling because it was their first time but Hiroto took such good care of us. We saw so many fish in the beautiful turquoise waters. The pace was perfect, lots of time for everyone to explore. Everyone felt safe, the water was calm. The photos and video were great quality and way more photos than expected. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend.
Great morning with Akari
