Absolutely incredibly experience kayaking & snorkeling through the bluest waters. The staff were incredibly friendly & helpful, despite the tour guide not speaking much English- wasn’t an issue for us. They were super helpful making sure we understood the ferry schedule before accepting our booking, and even making sure to see us off on the ferry before leaving for the day. The offices had showers and places to change which was a lovely perk, to not have to sit on the ferry wet.
Great experience!

Would highly recommend this tour.
A great experience kayaking in the ocean and then scuba diving afterwards. The only minor detail was our tour advised that our guide would be English speaking, which was not the case. This wasn’t a huge issue at all.
Going back! Highly recommend 🙌

Had the best time! The staff we're brillaint and friendly. I went with a lovely guide Rina. I saw 3 different types of turtles. She took the best photos and videos. I loved going to the different island. The place also has a changing room and shower. Which was brilliant. When they found out the hotel I waa staying at was near where we we're going to go kayaking she even offered to drop me off there. I had a plan to meet my mum in Zamami information center later on.
When I saw my mun on the beach at a distance Rina asked if I wanted to go over and check if she still wants to meet me at Zamami information center. Which was really kind of her. I did go over and said I was still happy to be dropped back off at the diving store. Very kind of her and the whole team are very kind.
What a lot to ‘sea’ !

Kana is a lovely person and she is easy to understand. We had a great afternoon, kayaking and snorkeling. The dive shop is very organized and clean and Kana is an excellent guide. We saw lots of sea life including colorful fish, a snake, a sea cucumber and sea turtles. Our guide took amazing photos and sent them to us. What a wonderful memory. I would highly recommend this dive shop for either an all day or half-day outing.
Fantastic Kerama experience

Fun day out, beautiful location, the staff were very friendly and professional. Our guide was brilliant at pointing out interesting fish and took photos of the group/s on the tour so he could share them with us for no extra cost. Would highly recommend!
Awesome

Great little tour on zamami island. Snorkling was amazing. Bit of a journey if you visiting from the main island.
Elated !!!

Was a great outing . Go san and the team from Kerama kayak were very attentive and accommodating. The place is spectacular to enjoy a kayak and snorkel. Very beginner friendly . Had a good time!
Perfect Kerama Day

Beautiful day spent kayaking and snorkeling/free diving in the blue waters of the Keramas. Though we are both divers, this gives you a much more up close and intimate experience than what you would ever get diving off a boat. The guide obviously loves her job and made the experience so fresh and enjoyable. We are so happy we did this!
One of the best tour and tour-guide ever !!!!!!!!
KEVIN_B, May 2023
If we can rate this higher than 5star, we would. It's 120% worth it!!
The guide, Kana-san, was sooo warm and welcoming. She is very knowledgeable about the island and gave us a lot of tips during the tour. She was very helpful about the kayaking and snorkeling experience. After the activity, she let us keep the equipments to use privately for the rest of the day for free. The photos she took with us and the animals are also very great.
I would recommend this activity for anyone who's visiting Kerama Islands.
Shop Phone
Tessa_P, Apr 2023
Ok so due to some communication issues I didn’t actually get to go on the kayak tour. I had to switch the times that I was going so I thought I was going to be met at the port which they do only for the morning tour. In the afternoon you have to walk to the shop which is 4ish blocks away. BUT the only company phone is a cell phone so when I tried to call and clarify where to meet it was on a kayak tour with a guide NOT at the shop. The staff were crazy nice and were waiting on me but I was waiting at the port and yeah I missed the tour. What I did get to see if the island was gorgeous though.

Experience of a lifetime....

Experience of a lifetime. Kana was the best guide ever! Very knowledgeable about the marine life and knew exactly where to find the sea turtles. Everything was provided for from snorkeling equipment and showers to underwater photography.
BEST TOUR EVER!
Haylee_Young, Jul 2021
My husband and I just went on this tour for our anniversary and I HIGHLY recommend!!
Our tour guide named Kana, was awesome!! She knew so much about sea life and she was very sweet and patient with us due to missing our ferry for the morning tour.
If anyone is thinking about coming to this island, do this tour!!! 110% worth the money and experience.
She also took so many pictures we got to download to our phones and they are beautiful!
The one thing I wanted to do was swim with sea turtles and that’s exactly what we had the opportunity to do because of this tour.
