“We had a 5-day, 4-night Miyakojima itine”

We had a 5-day, 4-night Miyakojima itinerary, but the weather was bad on the day we booked, and they rebooked us for the next day. The staff member who told us about the first-day cancellation was very kind too, and on the rescheduled tour day, I'm truly grateful to both guide Jin and guide Hiro. Our group of 6 included a 4-year-old and elderly parents, yet they ran everything without any inconvenience. It must have been hard, but thanks to them keeping it up with smiles and kindness to the end, the whole family, including my mother who is afraid of water, enjoyed the tour.^^ Next time we visit, we'll definitely book PADA again.^^

“Having a Korean guide made everything so”

Having a Korean guide made everything so easy~ My first-grader son said he loved it^^ My 68-year-old mom also snorkeled safely~ What surprised me most when we got to the sea was the color of the water~~ In front of our hotel it wasn't anywhere near this, but here it was a total emerald green!!!!!! Both guides were very kind!!! If we go again, we'll use you again~~~ Thank you

We had a great time~^^ I didn't get to see a manta ray, but my companions did~ It was so good~^^

“I really enjoyed snorkeling in Ishigaki ”

I really enjoyed snorkeling in Ishigaki to the fullest! There was a Korean guide with us so communication was easy, and above all I loved how carefully they looked after our safety. Thanks to that I could enjoy snorkeling comfortably without worrying. They also took so many photos and even did drone filming, which was great. I really want to recommend this to anyone planning to snorkel in Ishigaki!

Kind, and they speak Korean well.

“Thanks to guide Hyuk, we made truly wond”

Thanks to guide Hyuk, we made truly wonderful memories! We're the family who visited with our 25-month-old, Jaehee. The child was crying and fussing so much that we could hardly do the tour, so I said only one parent would take part, and he found a sea turtle as close to the beach as possible and arranged for the other parent to take a turn too 😭 Swimming with a sea turtle was fantastic (I was the parent who had given up on the experience, and I'd have regretted it so much if I hadn't done it). Thank you so much for carefully taking videos and photos so that Jaehee, who couldn't get in the sea, could see them later. We must have caused delays and made things harder for you, but you kept smiling and said it was fine to the very end, and you were kind to our child too, which made it an even better memory. Thank you to guide Hyuk and the other guide next to him! When our child is older and no longer afraid of the water, we definitely want to come back. Thanks to you we had a great time :)

“I used them during a 3-night, 4-day trip”

I used them during a 3-night, 4-day trip to Miyakojima. This was my first overseas car rental and my first time driving on the right-hand side of the car, so rather than price, I chose mainly for Korean-language service and insurance. Being able to communicate in Korean from booking to inquiries to the local office was really convenient, and when we arrived at Shimojishima Airport, a staff member was waiting with a sign. The office is only about 5 minutes away by car, so picking up the car went quickly. We booked with full insurance, and when driving around the outskirts of Miyakojima, some places have tree branches close to the roadside, so once I actually drove I was really glad I had checked the insurance carefully T_T The Suzuki Wagon R we were assigned was also much cleaner than I expected and plenty for 2 adults. We loaded suitcases, a cooler box and water play gear and got around well for 3 nights and 4 days, haha. In particular, there were many free rental options like a phone holder, parasol, waterproof sheet and cooler box, which were handy when going to the beach. They also drove us back to the airport after the return, so it was easy to use right up to the last day. I was very satisfied with the insurance coverage, Korean-language support, airport pickup and free options. I plan to use them again next time I go to Miyakojima :)

“They were friendly and the Korean-langua”

They were friendly and the Korean-language guidance was good.

“It was really great! If you go to Miyako”

It was really great! If you go to Miyakojima, please go at least once. I did the sunset program and was truly satisfied. The guide said the sunrise program has a really nice atmosphere too. If I get the chance, I'd like to experience sunrise next time.

“It's a tour you join for the stargazing ”

It's a tour you join for the stargazing itself, so I think it's best not to expect much from snapshot photography. If you value looking at the stars and making good memories over photos, I think you'll enjoy it and be satisfied.

“It was a tour program that really became”

It was a tour program that really became a great memory. Above all, they looked after us kindly, and because it was a small group we could enjoy it in a more relaxed and fun way. It felt like being carefully taken care of, which made me even more satisfied. Thank you for giving us such good memories!

“It was the part of my Miyakojima itinera”

It was the part of my Miyakojima itinerary I was most looking forward to, but it was cancelled because of the weather and then moved to the next day. In the process I had to pay again, 80,000 won more than what I paid two months ago, but it seems the company had no other option either. I think it's better to bring your own gear if you can. Also, cigarettes... this is a product used by people of all ages and genders, so even in Japan, is smoking really okay? On a small boat, if someone smokes at the front, there's nowhere to escape. During our session, 2 or 3 people took turns smoking and it was really hard to bear. On the other hand, the guides with us were kind and there were many of them, so I could enjoy it without worry, and the underwater environment was really beautiful and nice, which satisfied me. At the end they told us it was a spot where turtles appear, and two really did show up, which was great. There are some disappointing points, but the sea of Miyakojima and the staff make up for much of it.

“The rental car was clean, and the free r”

The rental car was clean, and the free rental of a cooler box and beach umbrella was especially helpful^^

“There were four people: two Korean guide”

There were four people: two Korean guides, one Japanese lead guide and the captain. For safety, one of them was always at the back watching the whole group and one led from the front, so we had a safe and fun time. When I first paid, I hesitated because it was a lot of money, but now I truly think it was an experience worth every penny. Seeing the clean underwater world near Iriomote and the feeling of swimming with sea turtles. And the cold udon we ate on the boat was delicious too. Also, at pickup the guide told us about some good restaurants, and I ticked off a bunch of local favorites. It was so good. Thank you

“It was so fun! Hiro-chan is so cool!”

It was so fun! Hiro-chan is so cool!

“It was so, so, so much fun. I definitely”

It was so, so, so much fun. I definitely want to go again 😭

“Over two days, one half-day and one full”

Over two days, one half-day and one full-day, our whole family had wonderful experiences in Ishigaki that we'll remember~ ^^ Meeting manta rays, sea turtles, beautiful fish and such kind instructors made us truly happy and grateful. My child and wife say they want to come back again~~^^ I highly recommend PADA Ishigaki~~~

“I went on my first Miyakojima trip with ”

I went on my first Miyakojima trip with my kid and wife. We drove around in the rental car and made so many memories. The island isn't small, so it's great for a loop around, and the fuel economy is good. The free cooler box they lent us was especially useful!

“The hotel was clean and I was very happy”

The hotel was clean and I was very happy with the large communal bath. Thanks to that, I had a great trip.

“The waves were high that day, so we came”

The waves were high that day, so we came instead of Yabiji, and it was much better than expected. We often met sea turtles too^^ Thanks to guides Eric and Riho's photography skills, our whole family got once-in-a-lifetime photos. The best!! Thanks to them, we made unforgettable memories in Miyako. See you again at Yabiji next time!!^^

“This was the tour I switched to after Ya”

This was the tour I switched to after Yabiji was cancelled, and I think I'm really glad I did it. The guide Hiro...? was kind and took photos really well, and I was satisfied.
