Plan description

"Phantom Island" is a popular spot that many say "Anyone who comes to Ishigaki Island should visit at least once." Until now, we only offered tours focused on sea turtles. However, we received many requests from our guests to visit Phantom Island as well, so we have finally created a new plan! This greedy plan combines our popular sea turtle snorkeling with a visit to Phantom Island, offering a special experience. Enjoying both a high chance of encountering sea turtles and the breathtaking scenery of Phantom Island all in one, you'll be completely satisfied. 1. What is Phantom Island? Hamajima, an uninhabited island known as "Phantom Island," is a spectacular spot surrounded by emerald blue waters on all sides. This mysterious island changes its appearance with the tides, allowing you to enjoy a different view every time you visit. Because it is a special place that can only be reached by boat, your landing experience will be a lifelong memory. The scenery during the cruise and the relaxing time spent on the island are also appealing. Even non-swimmers and those with children can enjoy this tour with peace of mind. ② SHISHI Ishigaki Island's sea turtle snorkeling course guarantees a high chance of encountering sea turtles! Our experienced staff will do their best to find sea turtles and support you to ensure a safe experience. Thorough advance instruction on equipment usage and precautions is provided, so even beginners and those with weak swimming skills can participate with peace of mind. Enjoy not only sea turtles, but also the tropical underwater world, including beautiful coral and colorful tropical fish. *Please note that access to the sea turtle spot may be unavailable depending on the sea conditions on the day. If you are unable to reach the spot, you will instead snorkel with coral. Please contact us by phone or email the day before or the day of the tour. *The target age for snorkeling is 2 to 65 years old. Guests who are not eligible will have to wait on the boat after the phantom landing. *Same-day reservations are accepted up to 3 hours before the start time. We may decline your reservation even after it has been confirmed. [Tour Schedule Information] ■ Departure Times: Morning: 8:00 AM, Afternoon: 12:30 PM. If you are meeting at the departure point, please arrive 30 minutes prior to departure. If you require a pick-up service, the pickup time varies depending on the area. You will receive an email or message upon booking or the day before. As a guideline, we will pick you up 1-45 minutes prior to departure. ⸻■ Tour Details (Duration: Approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes): Departure ↓ Landing on the Phantom Island (approximately 20-30 minutes) or Snorkeling (approximately 45 minutes) ↓ *The order of landing and snorkeling will be determined based on the best sea conditions on the day ↓ Return to port (Morning: approximately 10:45 AM / Afternoon: approximately 3:15 PM) *The duration and content of the tour may change depending on the weather and sea conditions.

Small group size and same-day reservations accepted!

Relax on a small boat with a capacity of 10 passengers. You can check the weather and make a reservation on the day you want to join. Anyone can easily join us, whether it's a girls' trip, a boys' trip, a family trip, a group trip, a company trip, or a graduation trip.

[To the popular phantom island]

You will land on the popular spot "Phantom Island" and take lots of photos with the pristine beauty of nature as a backdrop, that you will want to share. You can find and play with pieces of shells and coral, or just dip your feet in the sea to refresh yourself, and we offer island time that everyone from small children to the elderly can enjoy. Even those who do not wish to snorkel or are not good at swimming will be fully satisfied with just their stay on Phantom Island. Participants are available from 0 to 85 years old.

[Don't worry if it's your first time at the ocean. We'll fully support you in meeting sea turtles]

We welcome those who are new to snorkeling or who are nervous about swimming! Our experienced staff, who are licensed snorkel instructors, will provide thorough instruction on everything from how to use the equipment to how to swim, so anyone can participate with peace of mind. Safety is our top priority, and we will fully support you in your encounter with sea turtles, and our staff will capture your exciting moments with an underwater camera. You can take home a memorable experience just like it was before.

Selling points regarding safety

There are many beginners and people who are almost inexperienced in snorkeling tours, so first of all, we are firmly conducting training in shallow water. There are dangerous creatures in the sea, so we explain what to do when you encounter them and when they are damaged before entering the water. If you are worried about snorkeling or are a little scared of the sea, we will do our best to support you, so please feel free to join us.
