Wearing a mermaid costume and taking pictures on a fantastic island was like being in a dream. The snorkeling experience was extraordinary, surrounded by beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish. The underwater photos we took were amazing and made for a great souvenir of our trip!

When I came to Ishigaki Island for the after-party of my friend's wedding, I joined this tour because I could afford it. I was a bit shy at first to try the mermaid experience, but when I saw the pictures they took of me, I was surprised at how beautiful it was! It was also my first time to try snorkeling, but the sea around the island was really beautiful and I had many encounters with sea creatures. I am very glad that I joined.

I took my two daughters who wanted to take pictures with mermaids. It was our first time in Ishigaki Island, but after a short boat ride, the sea was really otherworldly and beautiful. The island was like a scene from a movie, and my daughters were very happy to have their picture taken with the mermaid.
