【沖縄・石垣島】【4月〜11月限定】マンタポイント直行便シュノーケリングコース

Manta Challenge!

A chance to see the manta rays that are synonymous with snorkeling in Ishigaki Island!

Although manta rays are natural creatures and you may not always be able to see them, we will sail to points where there is a high probability of encountering manta rays, rather than the usual half-day snorkeling points.

You will surely be thrilled to see the manta rays you have always dreamed of!

【沖縄・石垣島】【4月〜11月限定】マンタポイント直行便シュノーケリングコース

No worries for beginners

This is a compact, half-day course that includes Manta Point and is suitable for beginners and those who are not confident in their physical strength.

Manta rays swim around in shallow water (5 to 10 meters deep), so snorkeling is sufficient for observation.

There will be a detailed lecture from the guide.
