With excellent stability and complete support from the guide, even first-timers can feel at ease.
It may vary depending on the ebb and flow of the tide and the weather, but on clear days, around high tide (especially around midday), the transparency of the sea is higher, allowing you to clearly observe marine life.
If you're riding the glass boat, the time from low tide to high tide is recommended, as the fish become more active.

ガイドのサポートが手厚く、安心してマンタを近くで観察できました。石垣島の海の美しさが忘れられない体験です。（male, 40代）
