Let's look for manta rays and sea turtles that bring happiness!
Challenge Snorkel Tour!Ishigaki Island has points where you have a high probability of encountering large, powerful underwater creatures such as manta rays and sea turtles.
Depending on the sea conditions of the day, you can go swimming with manta rays or sea turtles. This plan also includes a visit to the miraculous uninhabited island of "Phantom Island," which is a natural beauty of formations!
This is a half-day tour, so even those with little time to spare can easily participate.
Guided tour to manta ray and sea turtle point
The manta ray, the world's largest ray, is called the "king of the sea" for its graceful swimming and presence in the ocean. They are extremely large, ranging in size from 4 to 6 meters, and their beautiful form gives them an overwhelming presence in the water.
Swim with wild manta rays, which you cannot experience in an aquarium, and snorkel with the adorable sea turtles, which are very popular with all!
Based on the sea conditions of the day, the captain will select a point where there is a high probability of encountering manta rays or sea turtles.
The manta rays are impressive and powerful!
Underwater, objects look 1.3 times larger than on land, so manta rays look much larger in person.
Popular Spots on Ishigaki Island ".Phantom Island (Hamashima)"
As the boat heads toward the phantom island from the offshore snorkeling point, the ocean color (azure blue) gradually becomes shallower and shallower as it gets closer to the phantom island, and a gradient emerald blue world opens up at once.
Please enjoy the most extraordinary experience while relaxing and enjoying the scenery on the phantom island.
We have many photo-worthy items available, so take many pictures that can only be taken here!
Tropical Fish Heaven
Manta rays and sea turtles can be seen at the point, as well as many other creatures.
Enjoy an impressive snorkeling time with large creatures swimming gracefully in the clear water, or change your perspective and look around at the coral reefs and schools of tropical tropical fish!
Staff members also swim with and support the swimmers, so adults and children alike can relax and enjoy themselves.
