With this plan, I was able to enjoy a glass boat experience in Kabira Bay and snorkeling in the Blue Cave! The world of coral and fish seen from the glass boat was truly beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle. The Blue Cave was more mysterious and beautiful than I had imagined, and the colorful fish I saw while snorkeling were unforgettable. Thanks to the kind support of the guide and the photos he took, I was able to enjoy this wonderful experience without worries. I highly recommend this plan to anyone who wants to fully enjoy the ocean of Ishigaki Island!

Even from the glass boat, we could see an amazing amount of fish, and our fish doctor (3 years old) was very excited. Laughing, we headed for the Blue Cave with the excitement still intact. I wondered if it would be safe to snorkel there, but it was shaped like a cove and there were no waves, so the three of us were able to enjoy snorkeling. They were very happy to see tropical fish, which they usually only see in picture books. On the way home from the airport, I was asked, "When can we come back to see the fish next time? and "When can we come back to see the fish next time? Let's ask Dad to do his best!
