Okinawa, Ishigaki Island】Sunset & star-filled sky guided by a special boat for star gazing! Night Snorkeling & Cruising (small group, with underwater light) (No.565)

Sunset over the sea

We will set sail before sunset and head for the point where we can watch the sunset over the ocean.

In Ishigaki IslandThe green flash can be seen at the moment the sun sets. Some folklore says that if you can see this, you will be happy, so be sure not to miss the green flash!

Underwater World at Night

The underwater world at night is completely different from that of the day.

Fish sleeping behind rocks, active corals, nocturnal shrimps and crabs, and fantastically glowing nocturnal insects.

Explore the underwater world at night with underwater lights!

360° star-filled sky

On the way back, you will cruise under the star-filled sky. Ishigaki Island City is famous for its beautiful starry sky so much so that it is designated as a starry sky protection area.

You will be amazed by the serenity of the ocean and the clarity of the stars.
