Overview

★Phantom Island Landing & Snorkeling
"Phantom Island" is a sandbar floating off western Ishigaki whose shape changes with the tide. Swim with many fish and corals! No experience necessary; our guide will support you!

★Relaxing Sightseeing on Taketomi Island
A must-visit for Ishigaki travelers, Taketomi still keeps its old-fashioned Okinawan atmosphere: red-tiled houses, Shisa with various expressions, and colorful flowers along coral-sand roads. Take a ride on a buffalo cart and snap photos with the beautiful sea behind you!

★Embark on an eco-friendly adventure with us; our eco-tour is designed with sustainability in mind.

Why PiPi: No.1* marine activity shop in Japan in 4 categories, 500,000+ guests guided. Okinawa-certified safe operator; all guides are certified water rescuers.
*Survey of 5 major shops by Japan Marketing Research Organization, Jun 29-Jul 3, 2026. Does not guarantee superiority.
