To a miraculous uninhabited island!
Landing on Phantom Island & Tropical SnorkelingThis is a half-day snorkeling plan that includes landing on the miraculous uninhabited "Phantom Island" and swimming with many tropical fish.
Why don't you come and see the scenery you have only seen on TV or in magazines? We have prepared many photo-worthy items for you to take wonderful pictures and leave your precious memories!
Phantom Island (Hamashima)
This uninhabited island, which can be reached by boat in about 30 minutes from Ishigaki Island, is called a "phantom island" because it becomes so small at high tide (when the tide is high) that it cannot be seen, but appears at low tide (when the tide is low).
Here is a spectacular world of emerald blue that spreads out in a gradation from the azure-colored offshore ocean all at once.
Small children can also enjoy it together!
snorkelingAfter landing on a beautiful uninhabited island where commercials and magazines are filmed, you will be transferred to the Ishinishi lagoon area, one of the largest coral colonies in Japan, where snorkeling awaits you!
Experienced guides will guide you to the best points by assessing the wind direction, wave conditions, and tide currents of the day.
