It was so awesome to spend the afternoon chilling on a private boat in Taipa lol. Jumping into the beautiful ocean with my friends without worrying about anyone else, and having a blast hanging out on the boat—it was seriously the best! The staff guy was super friendly too, and we had a blast lol.

Since we were traveling with young children who still need a lot of attention, we chose a private charter so we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about others around us. The captain was very kind—he chose spots with calm waters to match our children’s pace—and we, as parents, were completely satisfied. We made some wonderful family memories in the beautiful waters off Kohama Island.

I made a surprise reservation for our trip with my boyfriend! We headed to the “Phantom Island” on a comfortable cruise ship without getting wet, and watching the sunset from the pristine white sandy beach was so romantic it’s hard to put into words… The gradation of colors as the sun sank into the sea was truly beautiful, and it became a special memory that neither of us will ever forget♪

We got to visit places like Panari and Kuroshima, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. However, the boat ride took quite a while, so I might have gotten a little tired. I think it’s a good option for people who want to see a bunch of different islands all at once.

Although I participated with my young child, the staff were kind enough to adjust to my child’s pace and spoke to him gently throughout the entire experience, which allowed me, as a parent, to truly relax and enjoy myself. Seeing my child’s eyes light up with joy as he swam alongside the sea turtles filled my heart with emotion. It has become an irreplaceable treasure for our family.
