【沖縄・石垣島】ウミガメorマンタ遠征シュノーケル&奇跡の無人島「幻の島」上陸ツアー(半日コース)

Guided tour to manta ray and sea turtle point

The manta ray, the world's largest ray, is called the "king of the sea" for its graceful swimming and presence in the ocean. They are extremely large, ranging in size from 4 to 6 meters, and their beautiful form gives them an overwhelming presence in the water.

Swim with wild manta rays, which you cannot experience in an aquarium, and snorkel with the adorable sea turtles, which are very popular with all!

Based on the sea conditions of the day, the captain will select a point where there is a high probability of encountering manta rays or sea turtles.

【沖縄・石垣島】ウミガメorマンタ遠征シュノーケル&奇跡の無人島「幻の島」上陸ツアー(半日コース)

The manta rays are impressive and powerful!

Underwater, objects look 1.3 times larger than on land, so manta rays look much larger in person.

Popular Spots on Ishigaki Island ".Phantom Island (Hamashima)"

As the boat heads toward the phantom island from the offshore snorkeling point, the ocean color (azure blue) gradually becomes shallower and shallower as it gets closer to the phantom island, and a gradient emerald blue world opens up at once.

Please enjoy the most extraordinary experience while relaxing and enjoying the scenery on the phantom island.

We have many photo-worthy items available, so take many pictures that can only be taken here!
