Overview

Blue Cave Snorkeling
Snorkel around the popular "Blue Cave"! As the name suggests, the inside of the cave shines blue. Let's swim with lots of fish!

Landing & Snorkeling at Phantom Island
"Phantom Island" is a sandbar off western Ishigaki whose shape changes with the tide. The surrounding "Sekisei Lagoon" is one of the largest coral reefs in Japan, like a natural aquarium!

Free photo data!
Your guide takes pictures with a waterproof camera and gives you the data for free.

Beginners are welcome!
Our guides support first-timers and anyone a little afraid of swimming!

Our eco-tours are designed with sustainability in mind.
