You make your own way to the meeting point
- At two hours it fits around a transfer on a nine-hour call.
- 71 reviews average 4.8, and snorkel gear, wetsuit in winter and photo data are included.
- It was open on all 32 upcoming Miyakojima ship days we checked on 12 October 2026, with groups capped at 15.

Before you book
Is the Snorkeling Activity in Okinawa Miyako Japan worth it from the Miyakojima cruise port?
A two-hour sea-turtle snorkel off Miyakojima with a local shop's guide who takes the photos; the operator quotes a 99% encounter rate and says the tour runs in the rain. Best for: Confident swimmers on a call of five hours or more who want turtles without giving up the whole day.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?
About 4 hours. The tour runs 2 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. Two hours plus the 90 minutes before all-aboard is 3.5 hours, rounded to 4; the meeting place is not named, so the transfer from the berth 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.
