The fear lasts only a moment
Once it had fully risen, it was surprisingly calm.
To be honest, the moment the boat started pulling me upward, I braced myself a little and thought, “Whoa.” ButOnce it reaches the top, there’s little swaying or wind noise—it’s surprisingly calm.It was actually a bit of a letdown.
It’s not the kind of thrill you get from a roller coaster; rather, it’s an elegant experience where you float gently in the sky and quietly take in the scenery. Even our staff members who are afraid of heights all agreed, saying, “This was totally fine.”
Don't overthink it—just give it a try and take to the skies.
I didn't realize it until I saw it from above
I was breathless at the sight of the ocean’s "layers of color"
The ocean looks beautiful from the boat, but the moment we looked down from above, the entire staff gasped in awe.
The color of the sea, changing from shallow to deep waters, spreads out in distinct layers.That’s right. The gradient from emerald green to deep blue, the shadows of coral reefs scattered throughout the water—these are sights you can only see from this height, and it truly felt like I had the "Kerama Blue" all to myself.
I never imagined that just by changing my perspective, the same ocean could evoke such different emotions.
Actually, "cruising to and from" is also...
It was something I was really looking forward to
What I found surprising was that it wasn't just the flight itself, butThe cruise out to the spot is just so pleasantThat is.
The roughly 30-minute journey from Naha to Kerama—sailing between the islands while enjoying the sea breeze—is an experience in itself.
The excitement of cruising across the blue sea by boat, combined with the thrill of knowing I was about to take to the skies, had my anticipation for the trip at its peak even before I took off.
Leaving my phone behind was the right decision
It even captured his casual expressions
I was so absorbed in flying that I didn't have a moment to spare for taking photos. That's exactly why,I was really grateful for the service where I could hand my smartphone to the tour guide and have them take photos for me.It is.
The excited expressions on their faces as they soared into the sky, and the shot with the Kerama Blue as the backdrop—these are the kinds of photos we could never take on our own. Plus, the guide knows exactly when the perfect moment is, so the results were absolutely flawless. ◎
