About this list

All 7 operators on this list publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare them directly. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Mar–Nov and Jul–Aug among them. There is no single season for sea turtle trips in Japan, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list sea turtle, coral and clownfish as target species. Ways to meet them: boat-based watching, snorkeling, freediving and swimming. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
