Why Choose Our Boat Snorkeling Tour?
A Snorkeling-Exclusive Boat for the Best Experience
Most tours in Tokashiki Island combine snorkeling and diving on the same boat, but our tour is designed exclusively for snorkeling.
Why?
Snorkeling and diving require different locations to fully enjoy the experience.
- Snorkeling
Best for observing coral reefs and schools of tropical fish from the surface. - Scuba Diving
Ideal for diving deep underwater to see marine life up close.
Challenges with Mixed Snorkeling & Diving Tours
Depth Limitations
Diving spots are often too deep for snorkeling, making it difficult to clearly see the underwater scenery.
Time Restrictions
Snorkelers may have to adjust to the divers’ schedule, limiting their time and freedom in the water.
With our tour, you’ll explore 1–5 meter deep coral reefs and areas with a high chance of encountering sea turtles!

Reviews
A great way to spend the day on Tokashiki
This was a great way to spend the day on Tokashiki, especially for the quiet winter season. Booked with the high speed marine liner. This gave me a little over two hours at each beach and the provided lunch in between. The time on each beach was full free time so I could spend it how I wanted. This was useful to not have to worry about transportation, and the glass boat tour was an interesting way to see the reefs. The guides were great, and still ran it even though I was the only booking for the day. Thank you!
ボートシュノーケルツアー
2026年1月27日ドイツからのお客様3名の方とともにウェットスーツ着て阿波連ビーチ沖ポイントに入りまして、透明度高い場所に再度戻って頂いたり努力して頂いた気持ちのこもったガイドがありがたかったです。ウミヘビやみたかったニモを最後に見れてよかったです。ありがとうございました😊
有海龟呀
像是一场海龟追逐大赛。下次还来。
提个建议，防雾喷雾应该强制每位游客第二次下水前喷一下，而不是询问，因为游客意识不到第二次下水可能会有雾气。
快適に過ごせました！
綺麗な阿波連ビーチと渡嘉敷の海を楽しむのに、何も困ることなく過ごせました！海を2地点潜れて、海亀5匹に出逢えたのもいい思い出です！(レアケースとスタッフさんがおっしゃっていたので、確約はありませんが…珊瑚はとても綺麗でした！)
シャワー浴びて更衣できる部屋が綺麗なのが特に良かったです〜！※ロッカーは10円が必要なので、小銭用意されてたら良いと思いました！
店员都很nice很贴心
店员会根据我们上船的时间提醒我们，并让我们优先使用淋浴，很贴心很细心！
