Okinawa Aquamarine’s Private Group Snorkeling & Fishing tour lets your group have the boat to yourselves and enjoy both activities in one trip.
The tour is available for company outings, school and training trips, club trips, groups of friends, and family gatherings in Okinawa.

Before you begin, our staff will explain how to use the equipment and go over safety instructions. Beginners are welcome.

Why Choose Private Group Snorkeling & Fishing?
1. Fishing and Snorkeling in One Trip
This tour combines fishing from the boat with snorkeling in the sea.
You can try catching fish and explore Okinawa’s clear waters on the same trip.
It is a good option for groups whose members have different interests.
2. A Private Boat for Up to 25 Guests
Unlike our regular shared tours, this trip gives your group exclusive use of the boat for up to 25 guests.
Groups of fewer than 15 can also book a private trip by paying for 15 guests.
Your group can chat, take photos, and spend time together without sharing the boat with other guests.
3. Beginners Are Welcome
If you are new to fishing, our staff will show you how to use the fishing gear and handle the tackle.
For first-time snorkelers, we explain how to use the equipment, breathe through a snorkel, and stay safe in the water.
Please let us know in advance if your group includes beginners or anyone who is not confident in the water.
For safety, up to 8 guests can fish at a time. Larger groups take turns.
Trip Options & Group Size
Half-Day Trip (9:30–12:30 or 14:00–17:00)
A good choice for groups that want to visit the Kerama Islands while keeping time for other plans.
The half-day trip fits around sightseeing, meals, and the rest of your company or training trip.
Full-Day Trip (10:00–15:00; times can be adjusted)
Choose this option if your group wants more time to enjoy the waters around the Kerama Islands.
Depending on sea conditions, we visit several sites, with more time for snorkeling and relaxing on the boat than on the half-day trip.
Reach the waters around the Kerama Islands in about 20–30 minutes by boat from Naha.
Group Size
Private Group Snorkeling & Fishing is available for up to 25 guests.
Groups of 15–25 pay for the actual number of guests. Groups of 14 or fewer can also book a private trip by paying for 15 guests.
We cannot accept groups of 26 or more due to the boat’s capacity.
Private Group Snorkeling & Fishing Prices
Private trips use the same per-person rates as our regular Snorkeling & Fishing tours.
Groups of 15–25 can reserve the boat by paying for the actual number of guests.
Groups of fewer than 15 can reserve the boat by paying for 15 guests.
