First stop was a big coral reef where we saw all kinds of different fish and many different types of corals, which was amazing! After that we visited Barasu Island and learned about its origins and how it changes over time. The tour guides constantly took pictures of us and the surroundings and shared them with us afterwards, so no need to risk getting your phone lost at sea! All in all an unforgettable experience! 10/10 would recommend

Thank you very much with a photo! It was a great experience. The coach even recommended some local restaurants, and we really enjoyed our time there.
We went snorkeling directly from the beach during the morning and by boat in the afternoon to barasu island and reef. We saw plenty of fishes, a sea snake and blue corals.we recommend this activity. The team has been really kind to support my daughter in her first snorkeling
We enjoyed very much the tour. Sho-chan has been a very good snorkeling instructor and took amazing pictures of us surrounded by beautiful coral and fish! Thanks a lot!
Amazing location, Matthew is great man, thanks nam for everything. Rate is lower cause it was little hurry, but in global very nice experience.
PiPi offers a very good organised tour. Due to bad weather the tour was cancelled and so we take the canoeing tour through the mangroves instead. For me as a solo traveler who would like to enjoy nature calm and silent to fully emphasise the atmosphere, this big group tours are not what I am seeking for. Nevertheless it was well structured and organised. Everything went on time and everyone was in a good mood.
Amazing experience and guides. Highly recommended. It was my first time and I really enjoyed it. Both me and my partner love it
Iriomote is amazing island and tour is very good and highly recommend and thanks for our tour guide who is vey helpful and cheerful and his English is very good too. We enjoyed so much !
We have been on snorkeling tour and it was so amazing! We have seen a lot of magic corals, colorful fishes and visited miracle Barasu island with a good company and mainly with a good guide Kono! He was very friendly, helpfully and we felt perfect with him. We can absolutely recommend this trip for everyone!
Really enjoyed this tour. Everyone was super friendly and the snorkeling spots were gorgeous. The guides take lots of great photos and videos so all you have to do is enjoy the day. Naoto was the best 10/10!
The trip is really good. So beautiful! Water is crystal clear and reef lots of fish and large reef. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It is no worry to communicate in English. The shower area is tidy and clean. I’m glad that I’ve joined it!
Such a fun day! my son and i loved the canyoning and snorkeling and the guides for both really made the day extra enjoyable. thank you for everything!!
Such a fun and easy snorkeling experience. Super convenient and the guides are incredibly friendly and helpful. Our tour guide was Kaji and he was great! The tour is well worth the price. Having a free shower included afterwards as well is such a good bonus, just remember to bring your own towel and dry clothes.
Very nice experience, our guide - Aimi San is very nice and friendly! Very caring😙 Pretty view, SUGOI!!!!
Bandy was really friendly and accommodating. We saw some cute fish and a sea snake! The boat ride to the Isles was quick and it was cool to see.
Loved this tour!! They were very flexible and accepted our last minute booking (one hour in advance) to let us in the afternoon tour. Went to two snorkel spots, and saw tons of interesting fish and absolutely gorgeous coral. Our guide, Bandy, was very kind and translated everything into English for us. He also used a GoPro and sent us the pics/videos immediately after the tour. Great views, great staff!!
All perfect! Thank you to Bandy for the guided tour and the amazing experience. The coral reef of Iriomote is stunning, I absolutely recommend.
I had a very good time even if it was a bit too short. Ayu speaks really good English and will answer your questions. I was lucky to see a shark, lot of fishes and of course different types of corals.
I had a blast! I was visiting Ishigaki Island and decided to take a solo trip to Iriomote. I booked it thru Klook app, for those who are not native Japanese speaker, it's in English and very easy to book. If you are coming from Ishigaki, just remember the ferry ticket is separate and will have to get there own your own. Staff was very helpful and friendly, for snorkeling trip they will even take pictures and send it to you. Highly recommended!
It was a tour visiting Yufudajima and Baras Island (snorkeling), but Baras Island was in the afternoon, and the coral was buried under the surface of the water. It's a shame, but I'd like to find another opportunity to participate.
Tour guide Shogo Thanks to you being in charge, we had fun snorkeling.
My family of five tried snorkeling for the first time. It was difficult for the elementary school children to wear the wetsuits and masks, but the guide, Yume-san, helped them. I am so grateful to Yume-san, who spoke to the nervous children a lot and subtly supported them more than we parents during boarding and snorkeling. Today, I had the best memory encountering colorful fish and sea snakes! Thank you very much! When I come to Ishigaki Island again, I want to ask Yume.
Three elementary school children participated. Since there were many guides, I was able to participate with peace of mind. Even the youngest, who was not used to swimming, was able to participate while holding onto the inflatable ring that the guide held, so we were able to enjoy snorkeling safely. They responded quickly when I got seasick. We were able to create the best memories with our family by taking many vibrant underwater photos and videos in the beautiful sea. Lena, and all the guides, thank you!
The weather was nice, and I had fun. I was able to dive thanks to advice from the tour guide, Hotaru. I would like to ask you again if there is another opportunity.
Even those who are not good at swimming participated, and they said that they felt safe and could participate because Shogo, the staff member, held the lifebuoy for them. Although the waves were a little rough today, I was able to enjoy it safely by participating in the tour! It was an unforgettable memory to see the very beautiful sea and sea turtles. Thank you!
It was my first snorkeling experience, but you taught me carefully, and it was the most fun time!
Jun-san, the guide who was wonderful from start to finish, I felt safe both underwater and on land. I would like to say thank you.
I experienced snorkeling this time. The staff were very kind and polite, and I felt safe entering the sea. I'm very satisfied that I could see sea turtles too! You explained the fish and coral each time, and I had a fun time. I felt that it's very popular because there are staff who can speak English and many international visitors. Thank you very much!
It was the children's first time snorkeling, but they were able to enjoy it with peace of mind thanks to Shogo's attentive response. I was so excited to see two sea turtles up close! Thank you very much.
I had Shogo guide me through the process! It was before the typhoon, but we were very happy to be taken to a spot where the corals and fish look beautiful 🐟 I hope we can have another trip to Iriomote Island!!
It was amazing to see the reef on a scale I've never seen before! I recommend taking a GoPro with you so you can capture the best underwater scenery. We didn't have it, but our guide ginger took the picture. They were slow swimmers and were at the end of the pack, but they took pictures of us with the reef in the background at the end, because they were concerned about the lack of opportunities. We deeply appreciate your warm response!
It was wonderful to see Ami-chan leaving Iriomote Island with a smile all the time.
Take high-quality videos and photos! We also had a precious experience that can only be had here!
The naturally piled coral islands were very mysterious. Thank you very much, guide Shogo!
It was so fun and nice to snorkle at the coral very beautiful points! The guides were kind and energetic and had a happy trip.
The staff are kind. It runs smoothly. Even if it's your first time snorkeling, you can participate with confidence. The sea was a little murky after the typhoon.
It was a very valuable experience! Thank you very much.
Thanks to Yume and Karin, our guides. It was fun to learn more about sea creatures. The sea conditions were barely there before the typhoon, but I was satisfied to put it safely in the sea✌️
The attention to each one of them was amazing. He was a fun guide and a good memory
I went on Pipi's tour again last year! We had a great time meeting the sea turtles again! My friend was worried about swimming because he was afraid of the sea, but the guide was pulling him to the end and guiding him. Thank you so much for your support! I hope I can use it again next year 🏝️
They are all lovely guides and are the best ✨ We were lucky to see the sea turtles too 🐢
The staff were also attentive and I was able to see the sea turtles!
Although we changed our activities due to the large tide, we were able to book the next day because we wanted to see the underwater view of Barras Island. Yume, our guide on the day, showed us how to snorkel and where we could see fish, and although we didn't see the sea turtles, we were able to see the clownfish and moray eels and fully enjoy the coral world! Thank you for changing my schedule!
It was my first time snorkeling as a child, but the guide made it a lot of fun! Thank you for being my guide, ok? There are several guides on each boat, and everyone was comfortable and positive to the end. The whole family is happy to see so many fish in Balas Island with beautiful coral!
We were the only participants, so we were very pleased with the resourceful nature of the tour! Our guide Okun was very kind in guiding us on the tour! I want to go again.
We couldn't go to Barras Island because of poor sea conditions, but we snorkeled on the star sand beach as an alternative. Thanks to Okun leading and pulling me, I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea without getting tired. The best thing was that I was able to leave the child in charge with peace of mind because he also had a supportive background. Both of them were always talking to their children, so I was able to snorkel with great peace of mind. Thank you for the beautiful photos too. I'd like to ask you again.
The staff was warm and pleasant, and smiled constantly throughout with peace of mind ☺️Recommended for those who want to do activities in a fun atmosphere 🌷
It was fun 〰︎ The staff are also grateful for the kind and attentive response.
Snorkeling beginners. The last snorkel on the main island of Okinawa was a revenge snorkel because the weather was bad and it was disappointing. I was happy to see all the sea turtles, sea snakes, coral islands and cute tropical fish in a short time. At first I thought I had a short time, but by the time it was over I was exhausted.
It was fun to feel like diving for the first time in a while. My daughter, who was snorkeling for the first time, was also very excited to meet the turtle. The older brother of the staff was also kind and it was a lovely memory.
