- Frequently asked questions about this plan
-
Q. What is the difference between the two?What do I need to bring on the day of the tour?
All you need is a swimsuit (worn under clothing), towel, sunscreen, and sandals.Since ultraviolet rays are quite strong in Yaeyama, please be sure to bring sunscreen. A hat is also recommended.
Q. What is the difference between the two?I'm a beginner and can't swim at all?Yes, it's okay. We will give you a detailed snorkeling lesson (15-20 minutes), and life jackets or wetsuits are required, so you will be able to swim without worry after the lesson.
For those who are still afraid even after practicing, the instructor will pull you by the life ring. The instructor will pull you along with the floatation ring, and you will feel like you are holding on to a beat van.

The snorkeling at Shihsi lagoon was crystal clear, and we also encountered sea turtles. I also enjoyed the mermaid experience and was very satisfied.
