9.From Naha: Snorkeling Tour to Kerama by Ferry

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 151 reviews · 7 hours · from $75

Small-group snorkeling from Naha to Kerama Islands by ferry, with Kerama Blue water, guided snorkeling, and beach time at Aharen.

“Trip was fun. Lunch provided by an eatery at the villiage was an exercise in 'value adding' while adding zero value. I had Curry Rice. Ithad two 1mm thick slices of beef about 10mm square and no vegetables at all. Sure,y they can do better than such a cynical offering, knowi g the guests will likely never return? The 'tour' was relly just a trip there and back. We just went for a swim and lay on the beach enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and beatiful view. At only ¥6400 there are worse ways to spend your money.”
