Magical snorkeling experience! - Thank you so much to PiPi Adventures for making my trip so memorable! Despite the bad weather, we were still able to see some coral reefs at a beach closer to the city center and didn’t make it to the Phantom island. It was a magical experience nevertheless. They provided all the gears and eventhough the tour was in Japanese, I still understood all of the safety instructions. The guide was very enthusiastic, funny and helpful. He took fantastic photos and videos of the underwater creatures including the participants. Hope to see you all again soon, this was by far the best vacation ever as a solo traveler 🙌🏻. Oh and they even refunded me some money for the change in plans due to the weather conditions! Until next time 💫 🪸 🐠 ピピ・アドベンチャーズに 感謝します 旅行を忘れないように サンゴ礁が市中心部に近い海岸で 見えました 魔法の体験だった ツアーは日本語で 安全指示は全てわかったわ ガイドはとても熱心に、面白くて役に立った。 参加者など水中生物の写真やビデオを撮りました。 彼はこの写真に参加した人たちを含めて、 また会えるといいな。 これは135人の旅行者として、最高の休暇だった。 天候の予想変更に お金も返すわ またね 💫 🪸 🐠ドル

Phantom Island Snorkeling Taketomi Island Tourism - It was my first time snorkeling, but the water was very clear and the guide introduced various things to me, so I had a lot of fun! It was a good memory to see a sea snake! Even those who can't swim were able to see the fish easily and it was fun! When we wanted to take a picture, we asked them to take it like that! They took it exactly like that!

So touching! - I was a little worried about my child's (2nd grade) first time snorkeling, but they were kindly supported and we had a great time. The visibility of the water on the phantom island was amazing and I was moved. I wish we could have stayed a little longer. The tour of Taketomi Island is not included.

Fun trip with scenic photo opportunities - We really enjoyed our day exploring the beautiful sides of Ishigaki with the Pipi Adventure team! Our guide Kai was very cheerful and gave us good insides for the snorkelling. Phantom island was a beautiful spot for taking pictures, though we hoped we had a little more time to explore the island. Overall we highly recommend this diverse trip.

False description and got only a half day tour. - The snorkeling meeting place was changed last minute due to weather. We did not visit phantom island. Furthermore, we were handed ferry tickets to Taketomi, but there was no tour on that island. The snorkeling experience did not include shower as indicated in the description. We were handed a 2L bottle of water to rinse off outside without any cover before we got back on the bus.
