Plan description

This is a snorkeling tour where you can swim with sea turtles at a very popular scenic spot in Miyakojima. Have you ever been to Yabiji? Yabiji, a spectacular view of Miyakojima that you should visit at least once in your life [What is Yabiji?] Yabiji, which consists of eight huge coral reefs (main reefs) and more than 100 large and small coral reefs (subgroup reefs), forms a huge coral continent and is designated as a scenic spot and natural monument of Japan. The area of ​​Yabiji (main reefs and subgroup reefs) is about one-third of Miyakojima, and it is one of the largest coral reefs in Japan, stretching about 17 km north to south and about 6.5 km east to west. The undulating underwater topography maintains the ecosystem unique to Yabiji, and a wide variety of creatures lurk there, from large to macro, and Yabiji provides many moving encounters throughout the year. At Yumutsu, we guide you to swim with sea turtles at this magnificent Yabiji. Wild creatures such as sea turtles change their behavior patterns depending on the sea conditions, so we don't get stuck in a mold and are good at choosing points that suit the weather and sea conditions on the day of the tour. The captain is a local with over 18 years of experience as a guide, and he knows many points that he is proud of. It is not a guiding style that only guides you to specific places like an assembly line, which is common in snorkeling tours, but the captain chooses points based on the sea conditions of the day, and he is greedy, which is satisfying and has been well received by repeat customers. Although it is called Yabiji, it is a magnificent coral reef. There are many sea turtle points, but it cannot be said that "all of them have calm sea conditions". The natural world changes in various ways every day, so let's all look for sea turtles according to the conditions of the day! Let's enjoy not only sea turtles but also the world of coral reefs, which is synonymous with Yabiji! Giant table corals, now rare, grow vibrantly in Yaebi Sea. Sea turtles sometimes suddenly appear in front of you from the shadow of such a large coral, which is a bit of a surprise! Please do not touch the sea creatures as this can be stressful for them. Please remember that you are playing in nature and respect nature.

About the guide style: What kind of guidance will you give?

Unlike typical snorkel tours, where the guides only take you to certain spots in a routine style, they choose spots based on the sea conditions on that day, which is why they are well received by repeat customers.

About store-based and on-site gathering types

Our shop is a rare snorkeling shop in Miyakojima. In the spring of 2024, the waiting area will be stylishly renovated! We also have hot water showers and hair dryers for after the tour, so we can confidently recommend it to women and families with children. The boat departs from Sarahama Fishing Port, which is right in front of the store (20 seconds walk), and after returning to the port, you can immediately rinse off the seawater with a shower, so it is one of the recommended points that you can use the limited time of the trip effectively. Even customers on the last day of the trip can freshen up with a shower and head to the airport. The store is conveniently located about 25 minutes from Miyako Airport and about 15 minutes from Shimojishima Airport, and is the captain's family home. Sarahama Fishing Port, the No. 1 fishing port in Okinawa for bonito landing, is the main port of Irabu Island, and being able to see the fish being landed is one of the unique pleasures of traveling to Sarahama! Diagonally across from Yumutsu. There is also a popular restaurant run by the Irabu Fisheries Association that serves fishermen's bowls. After enjoying the underwater world through snorkeling, enjoy a full taste of Irabu Island with local fisherman's meals.

Safety Initiatives

We pay careful attention to safety, ensure buoyancy with wetsuits and life jackets, and guides who hold international standard qualifications will carefully explain how to use the equipment and provide solid support. Please feel free to join the tour even if it is your first time or you are not confident in your swimming ability.
