Plan description

★100% chance of encountering sea turtles★ [Tour details] The Blue Cave is a popular snorkeling spot. The light that enters the cave becomes a pale blue light due to its wavelength, and spreads, so the entire cave is enveloped in a fantastic pale blue glow. After taking photos in the Blue Cave, we will guide you to the sea turtle's sleeping place by snorkeling. This is an attractive tour where you can see fantastic and beautiful scenery and meet sea turtles! ★RUANOA Ishigaki Island Tour Points ① Reservations can be made the day before or on the day ② Photo and video data gift (about 30 photos per group) ③ Free transfer (only in the city area) ④ Free rental of light snorkeling equipment ⑤ Free rental of wetsuits ⑥ Beginners and children are welcome ◆ The Blue Cave is also a spot that is easily affected by the weather.

プランの魅力 Sea turtle encounter rate updated to 100% for 2nd consecutive year の画像

Sea turtle encounter rate updated to 100% for 2nd consecutive year I sometimes hear that you can't see sea turtles even if you snorkel in the same spot, but RUANOA Ishigaki Island has experienced staff who will guide you to the sea turtles' sleeping areas.

Photo & video 4K data gift After the tour, our staff will give you a gift of the latest GoPro footage. We take about 10 to 20 videos and photos per group. Leave it to us to take the best photos for your social media.

Beginners welcome Even if you are not used to water, are anxious about swimming, children, or the elderly, please rest assured that we will provide thorough training before the tour. If you are still worried, the staff will be holding something like a large floating ring as you swim, so you can hold on to it as you swim.

プランの魅力 How do you get your child to snorkel? の画像

How do you get your child to snorkel? You can choose the equipment that suits your child! 1. Get on a boat-shaped float and look into the sea with box goggles (for children aged 2 to 7 years old) 2. Full-face mask → Can breathe through mouth and nose (for children aged 4 to early elementary school who are used to water but have no snorkeling experience and are worried about only breathing through their mouth) 3. Snorkel mask same as adults → Can only breathe through mouth (for children who have snorkeling experience or want to try it) Please choose one of 1 to 3 when making a reservation.
