Winter-Season Snorkeling Tour (December–March)

This course is recommended for those who want to go snorkeling even in winter! In the waters of Zamami, two species of sea turtles—the Green Sea Turtle and the Hawksbill Turtle—can be found. If the timing is right, you might be able to meet them! You can join this tour even after a morning whale-watching trip, and even if you're coming from Naha on a day trip. We provide wetsuits with excellent warmth and flexibility, so you can stay comfortable in the water. Please note: The beach where we usually hold the tour is an area where sea turtles live. In the past, we have been able to spot them about 80% of the time, but since sea turtles are wild animals, sightings are not guaranteed. Also, on days with strong winds, we may not be able to access the turtle area.
