It offers excellent value for the price. I really appreciate how the package combines two distinct experiences: first, observing coral and fish from a glass-bottom boat without getting in the water, and then directly enjoying the crystal-clear waters of Kabira Bay on a SUP. The complimentary photo service is also excellent, and I think it’s a well-designed itinerary that allows you to efficiently enjoy the scenic spots that define Ishigaki Island.

It went smoothly. Since I didn't have to drive myself, I was able to efficiently visit tourist spots like Kabira Bay and Yaima Village by bus. It was convenient that I could choose the pickup and drop-off locations. I'll definitely use this service again.

Taking your family on a sightseeing bus tour is very convenient. It saves you the trouble of finding your own way and waiting for the bus. The tour guide also points out many attractions and describes the scenery along the way. It’s a must-have option for a relaxing trip.

I went on this tour with my child. The electric trike felt very stable, and since the guide thoroughly checked safety precautions, I felt completely at ease riding it as a parent. On the glass-bottom boat tour in Kabira Bay, my child’s eyes lit up with delight at the sight of the fish on the ocean floor. We finished off the day with some Blue Seal ice cream, making it a wonderful memory for our family.

First, we took a glass-bottom boat out into Kabira Bay and enjoyed the beautiful coral and fish without getting wet. Next, we went ashore on Phantom Island and enjoyed snorkeling in the emerald-green sea that stretched as far as the eye could see. We were able to efficiently visit Ishigaki Island’s two most spectacular sights, making for a truly meaningful and wonderful day.
