ウミガメに会えた時は感動しました!
ウミガメに会えた時は感動しました!写真も200枚近く撮って下さりたくさんの思い出ができました。ダイビングももちろん素晴らしかったのですが、インストラクターの原崎さんもとても親切で、屋久島観光について色々教えて頂いたり、予約を手伝って下さったり(海外の携帯で電話が使えなかったため)おかげさまで屋久島を大満喫できました!!

期待を遥かに超えた最高の体験!!
初めての体験ダイビング、屋久島旅行出発の数日前に、急に思い立って参加を決めた家族に誘われて参加しました。屋久島も初めてで、白谷雲水峡や縄文杉のことばかり調べていたので、最初は???と半信半疑でしたが、旅が終わってみるとなんと屋久島旅行の一番の思い出になっていました。インストラクターの原崎さんは、陸では楽しくレクチャーしてくださり、海の中ではプロ中のプロといういう印象でとても信頼のおける方でした。三匹のウミガメが突然現れたり、悠々と泳ぐウミガメを間近で見たり…考えられない体験でした。写真も数枚いただけたら嬉しいなぁと思っていたところ、素敵な画像の写真や動画を数百枚無料で送っていただき大感激!!本当に沢山あるツアーの中で、屋久島自然案内(もりとうみ)さんのツアーに出会えたことがラッキーだったと感謝しています。旅から戻りしばらく経った今も毎日のようにウミガメのことを思い、いただいた写真を見返しています♪
