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 waves were calm at the snorkeling spot we reached via banana boat, so we were able to enjoy ourselves safely. The staff were also extremely friendly, and it was a wonderful highlight of our family vacation.

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.

Last time, I chose a laid-back itinerary, but this time I signed up for a slightly more active tour that included water sports. I was a little worried about my stamina given my age, but the staff kept things lively without pushing me too hard, so I was able to enjoy the Giant Thriller to the fullest! The underwater scenery was as beautiful as ever, and I was completely satisfied with my trip to Okinawa.
