Frequently Asked Questions about MARUYU (Q&A)

Q. Should I definitely choose MARUYU?

Not absolutely, but strongly recommended.

We recommend that you do not hesitate to choose a Maruyu operator, especially if it is your first time or if you have small children or elderly companions.

While it's not a "must choose."It's a good choice.The "Maruyu" is a "Maruyu".

Please consider this as an option to make your trip more comfortable, including a peace of mind fee.

Q. Won't the price be higher?

It is not necessarily higher.

The tours of Maruyu operators are not set at a particularly high price, but most are in the same price range as other companies, depending on the content and time required.

Be wary of extremely inexpensive tours, however.

As mentioned above, there are cases where safety equipment and guiding systems are inadequate because they are "cheap or inadequate,It is important to choose the best choice based on content and safety measures rather than price.It is.

The fee will not be excessively high just because it is MARUYU, and even if it is a few hundred to a thousand yen more expensive, it is not expensive if you consider it as a peace of mind fee.

Q. What is the difference between a non-certified business and a certified business?

The level of trust in safety measures is different. While non-certified tours do not necessarily mean that the activity tour is immediately inadmissible, it is true that there is a difference in safety awareness due to the ease of entry into the activity tour market.

The biggest difference is whether or not they are checked by a third party (police). While Maruyu vendors receive guidance from the police, including unannounced annual inspections, uncertified vendors are basically responsible for their own safety.

In terms of accident rates, according to police reports, there have been very few cases of serious accidents after acquiring MARUYU.

In general, the difference is that MARUYU has a "guarantee of trust," which saves the user the trouble of finding out for himself whether it is safe or not.

First, we put on our life jackets, boarded the banana boat, and headed to the snorkeling spot. It was incredibly refreshing to glide along while feeling the sea breeze. Once we arrived at the spot, we jumped into the water, and the moment we dove in, we were greeted by countless colorful tropical fish—I was truly amazed. The staff provided very helpful guidance, and I even received the footage they took with my GoPro for free—it’s so much fun to look back on it later. It was a wonderful tour that left me completely satisfied.

The staff were also extremely friendly, and it was a wonderful highlight of our family vacation.

Last time, we spent our time on the main island, but this time we chose this itinerary that takes us to Minna Island, which is renowned for its beauty. It turned out to be the perfect choice—the view of the island from the parasail was so breathtaking it’s hard to put into words. Since the tour included a beach umbrella, we were able to take some time to relax in the shade and gaze out at the ocean, which was the ultimate way to refresh both our minds and bodies.

There was a wide variety of activities, and I really enjoyed watching the tropical fish, so I think it was good value for the money overall. The banana boat ride felt like a fun attraction in itself. I also appreciated that the GoPro footage was included for free. However, the changing area after the tour felt a bit cramped, so I think it would be even more comfortable if that were improved.
