You can enjoy the trendy power spot “Blue Cave Tour” in 1.5 hours at a reasonable price!
You can also go see sea turtles!
After passing through a sugarcane field, you will arrive at a snorkeling spot and depart for the Blue Cave!
When we arrived at the beach, we found white sand!
The ocean is a bright blue!
The sound of the waves rustling in the wind and the smell of the pleasant sea breeze.
You can also find hermit crabs, cute seashells, and star sand.
Let's go to the Blue Cave!
A space of light and color created by the sunlight.
It is a time to feel the mysterious “healing” of the water.
The expressive cave created by nature.
Once inside, the powerful and magnificent formations created by nature are a must-see.
Once you have fully enjoyed the Blue Cave, go snorkeling in the Churaumi Sea.
You will be amazed at the dynamic underwater topography and encounter tropical fish and clownfish dancing in the shining sea.
This course will satisfy everyone from first-timers to experienced divers.
We want you to experience the people, food, and scenery of Ishigaki Island, so our staff who know Ishigaki Island well will make your tour fun and exciting.
You can easily go to the blue cave in your free time and you don't have to worry about seasickness because we don't use a boat.
Since the Blue Cave can be accessed from the beach, everyone from small children to the elderly can easily participate in the tour at their own pace.
The tour takes one and a half hours, so there is no need to worry about physical fitness.
Even if you don't have enough time in your schedule, you will be very satisfied with the popular Blue Cave, beautiful coral reefs, and tropical fish!
【Sunset and Starry Sky Kayak Tour】
This is a special plan that combines two tours, “Sunset” and “Starry Sky”, which are usually offered as separate plans.
Romantic sunset kayaking with the sunset over the ocean!
Why don't you enjoy the magnificent scenery that you can only experience in Ishigaki Island?
You can see the sunset spreading out in front of you from the kayak out to the sea.
Enjoy the dynamic location of the island, sky, sea, and mountains.
The magnificent scenery that changes with time will envelop you in awe.
At night, the sky is full of stars and you have a moment with shooting stars.
And the quiet beach is gently echoed by the sound of the waves and the chirping of the red-crowned nightingale.
Depending on the time of year, “noctilucent worms,” which are marine plankton, glow faintly in the sea.
Nocturnal creatures move about actively, and the charm of night kayaking is that you can see a different face from the one you see during the day.
How about letting the island time flow slowly and relaxing your mind?
