― What I Value Most as a Guide ―
— The Story of Shohei Kawamura —
It all started when I decided to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to travel around Japan while working at resort jobs.
The older we get, the more we tend to savor that feeling of “fun.”
That’s exactly why, when you come to visit, please feel free to say whatever comes to mind—your feelings and thoughts—and let your inner child out to have a blast.

— Customer Reviews of Miyako Island ADVENTURE PiPi Tours —
These are reviews we’ve received for the Miyakojima ADVENTURE PiPi tours (including tours led by different guides).
The best ocean experience of my life! It was my first time snorkeling in the most beautiful ocean I’ve ever seen! The instructor was very cheerful and took some great underwater photos for me. There were other similar experiences available, but I chose this one because it’s a facility recognized by Okinawa Prefecture for its safety standards. As a first-timer, they explained the equipment and showed me how to use it very thoroughly, so I felt completely at ease participating! The guide was incredibly attentive—even providing things like kids’ swim rings and goggles—which really put me at ease. This has become one of the experiences I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Miyako Island.
It was the long-awaited snorkeling experience with sea turtles that I’d always wanted to try! I understood that since they’re wild animals, there was a chance we might not see any. I was just hoping we’d get to see one, but to my surprise—we spotted one just about 10 minutes after getting in the water! It seems they knew exactly where the sea turtles were, so I’m glad we were able to see one right away! Since it’s accessible from the beach, you could technically go on your own, but if you don’t know where the sea turtles are, it takes a long time to find them. Plus, as a beginner, it’s dangerous because you wouldn’t know how far out to go, so joining a tour is definitely the way to go. If I ever come back to Miyako Island, I’ll definitely join this tour again.
I saw a sea turtle! The weather forecast wasn’t great and it was cloudy, but I was still able to see the sea turtles. The instructor was also very kind. They even took photos for me—some shots I wouldn’t have been able to capture on my own. I was traveling alone and didn’t have a rental car, so the shuttle service was a huge help. I hope I get to go again when the weather is nice! I’d love to use this service again.
