Best for

Active couples or friends on a call of eight hours or more who want to paddle and snorkel without planning either.

Think twice if

The two halves start in different places, Shigira Beach car park 2 for snorkelling and the Imgya Marine Garden car park for SUP or canoe, and neither is at the ship, so the day depends on pre-booked wheels. The listing advises against it for travellers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.

Quick answers

Before you book

Is the Okinawa Miyako Full Day Sea Turtle Snorkel and SUP or Canoe worth it from the Miyakojima cruise port?

A six-hour day split between a SUP or canoe paddle from Imgya Marine Garden and a sea-turtle snorkel at Shigira Beach, with all gear, life jacket, water shoes and photo files included. Best for: Active couples or friends on a call of eight hours or more who want to paddle and snorkel without planning either.

How long a port call do I need for this tour?

About 8 hours. The tour runs 6 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. Six hours plus the 90 minutes before all-aboard is 7.5 hours, rounded to 8; the listing gives no travel time from the berth to either car park, so the transfer comes on top.

Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?

The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. The operator may cancel for bad weather, with a refund.

What should I know before booking?

The two halves start in different places, Shigira Beach car park 2 for snorkelling and the Imgya Marine Garden car park for SUP or canoe, and neither is at the ship, so the day depends on pre-booked wheels. The listing advises against it for travellers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
