Enjoy a superb half day!
Phantom Island Landing & Snorkeling TourThis plan includes a boat ride from Ishigaki Island, landing at "Phantom Island" and snorkeling at a beautiful point with lots of coral and fish.
A kaleidoscope of beautiful worlds awaits you, with an abundance of more than 100 types of colorful corals!
Phantom Island (Hamashima)
The area around "Phantom Island (official name: Hamashima)" is shallow, so even if the island sinks at high tide, it is still shallow enough for safe sightseeing.
Surrounded by 360 degrees of ocean, it grows larger or smaller depending on the tide level. Take lots of pictures after landing on the phantom island!
The sea is so clear that you can see the ground even from the sea, and you can dive so enthusiastically that you will never get tired of swimming all the time.
snorkeling
Experienced guides will take you to the best spots on the day of the tour based on sea conditions.
Ishigaki Island is said to be the largest coral area in Japan, with hundreds of species of colorful corals and hundreds, if not thousands, of tropical fish.
Experienced guides will guide you!
We will give you a slow and careful lecture, so children of all ages are welcome to join us, even those who are not good swimmers.
This half-day tour is recommended for those who do not have much time or who just want to enjoy snorkeling for a short while!

I participated in the morning half-day course with my wife and 5 year old son. It was my son's first time snorkeling, but the instructor carefully taught us how to put on the mask and also accompanied us in the water, so my son enjoyed snorkeling without fear. I am very satisfied. The corals and fish were beautiful. Phantom Island is a must go.

520代Posted on 2020/02We were five college students. I was very happy to hear the members of the group who were prone to seasickness. We were very excited when we all caught fish together. I would like to participate again. Thank you Mai-san and your brother!

430代Posted Mon: 2018/04It was a half-day course in the morning and we were satisfied with the instructor who was very kind. My children said that the most enjoyable part of their trip to Ishigaki Island was the snorkeling and landing on this fantastic island. I would definitely do the full day snorkeling next time I come to Ishigaki Island!

540代Posted Mon: 2018/03Because it was February and we were only two groups, we had a very relaxing time. The captain was kind and took care of my son and he was happy that it was the most fun he had ever had. We will be back next time we come back to visit.

530代Posted Mon: 2018/03I joined the tour with my wife. Since we were the first to arrive at the island, we were the only guests on the same tour, so we were able to take as many pictures as we wanted. The guide showed us various poses and took a lot of pictures. 20 minutes later, more and more people arrived, so I recommend joining the tour as early as possible! The panoramic view of Phantom Island was just as they said, and the contrast between the sea and the island was wonderful. After walking around, we took a boat to the snorkeling point. The coral reefs and tropical fish were more beautiful than I had imagined, and we even saw a bear flea. My wife and I swam so much that we took a nap as soon as we finished. Thank you very much!
