For those who are scared to dive into the sea but want to see fish!

An activity where you take a small boat to see fish. I was worried about whether we would be able to see them since the day before there had been a typhoon, but we were able to see quite a few beautifully. The nearest beach had hermit crabs, making it feel just like a southern island. The experience lasts about 30 minutes.小船に揺られてお魚を見に行くアクティビティ。
前日が台風通過後だったので見れるか不安でしたが、結構綺麗に見れました。最寄りの海岸もヤドカリがいたりして南の島そのものです。
大体30分くらいの体験です。

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but the glass-bottom boat experience was more enjoyable than I imagined!

It was my first time on a glass-bottom boat, and honestly, before getting on, I didn't have high expectations, thinking, "If I go to the ocean, I can see fish anyway." (Sorry about that!)

However, once I actually got on, I was thrilled to see so many fish gathering beneath the boat! When a school of fish suddenly appeared, both the kids and adults couldn't help but get excited.

We were also lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which moved the whole family.

It's great that you can observe the underwater world without getting wet, so there's no need for changing clothes or extra preparation, which is a big plus for families with kids! Even small children who find snorkeling difficult could enjoy it together.

The beach where we departed was very beautiful, making this activity highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the ocean in Okinawa casually, especially for families with young children.
グラスボートは初めてでしたが、正直乗る前は「海に行けば魚は見られるしなぁ」とあまり期待していませんでした。(ゴメンナサイ)
ところが実際に乗ってみると、船の下にたくさんの魚が集まってきて大興奮!
特に魚の群れが一気に現れた時は、子どもだけでなく大人も思わずテンションが上がりました。

さらに運良くウミガメを見ることもでき、家族みんなで感動しました。

濡れずに海の中を観察できるので、着替えや準備が不要なのも子連れには嬉しいポイント♪
シュノーケリングがまだ難しい小さな子どもでも一緒に楽しめました。
