Phantom Island (official name: Hamashima)
The island is a beautiful uninhabited island where commercials have been filmed.
Shihsi lagoon area
After landing at Phantom Island, we will move the boat a little to a snorkel point. The Ishinishi lagoon area, which has one of the largest coral colonies in Japan, is full of attractions such as transparency, quality of coral, and number of fish.
Enjoy the beautiful underwater world at leisure by snorkeling!
Blue Cave
At the entrance to the Blue Cave, there is a spot where seawater pools, created by nature's continual digging of the cliffs and seafloor. This pool of seawater is called the "Blue Cave" because the "shadow" created by the cliff and the "light" from the outside world make it appear blue.
The trek to the Blue Cave is not too difficult and anyone can participate. You will see many creatures along the way!
snorkeling
After exploring the Blue Cave, we will swim to the offshore extension of the Blue Cave. You will enjoy a dynamic out reef snorkeling experience.
You will swim through the coral reef valley to the out-reef while watching the fish. This snorkel course is available from the beach, so those who are worried about getting seasick can rest assured!
