Snorkeling at Sakura Beach - Akari was helpful as a guide and made the snorkeling experience at Sakura Beach fun. Would recommend her to anyone visiting Ishigaki.

Perfect snorkeling in Ishigaki - Tour guide Akari was really helpful and helped us all the way through snorkeling tour in English. Also it was nice of her showing interest in our home country. Also she spoke 2 different languages at the same time: English and Japanese which was impressive. Even though we had to change snorkeling place due to poor weather conditions, it was nice and relaxing snorkeling experience. I hope I will book another tour when we come back to Ishigaki next time.

Fun snorkeling tour - Great snorkeling tour with guide Akari. Because of the weather we went to Osaka beach instead of Phantom island. Snorkeling conditions were good here. We saw two turtles, corals and some colorful fish.

Super fun day ! - I’ve booked 2 activities the same day with Pipi Tour and it was my fav day in Ishigaki ! Phantom island was absolutely beautiful and the team made it perfect Everyone is super friendly, I had the chance to be in Makoto group and she’s amazing.

Amazing underwater exploration! - The snorkeling tour was out of this world and a super fun experience! We were picked up by the Adventure PiPi team at our hotel sevenxseven and brought to the boat along with the rest of our snorkeling group. Kou was our snorkeling guide and he was the best! Super friendly guy that explained everything about our trip that day. As a novice swimmer I was hesitant at first as I’ve never been snorkeling before/ am a weak swimmer but that hesitant feeling quickly vanished under his care. We were able to see a ton of aquatic life, coral, and even a sea cucumber that Kou had fished up! The sea was calm and the sight of all the underwater life was breathtaking. Highly recommend the snorkeling trip to everyone (even people who don’t know how to swim)! Kou was also the best guide and took amazing pictures! Thank you Kou and The Adventure PiPi team for a fantastic experience!

I had a good time. - My guide Akari was fantastic! I was a little bummed the tour to Phantom Island was bumped due to weather concerns, but Osaki Beach was a nice alternative.
