"Coral Reef Snorkeling Tour - Take photos with some of Yoron Island's best corals! - Recommended for families and groups! Yoron Island is surrounded by coral reefs! The boundary between the coral reef and the open ocean has active tidal movements, so many creatures gather there. You can enjoy the underwater world that you normally can't see, such as the crystal clear blue-green sea, colorful tropical fish, and the dynamic topography of the coral reef. It takes about 5 minutes by boat from the beach to the experience point, so even those who get seasick can rest assured! Point 1 [Encounter about 400 types of coral and colorful creatures] The boundary between the coral reef and the open ocean has clean seawater circulating, so the coral grows healthily and you can see schools of large and small fish around it. This is an experience point where you can feel closer to the rich ecosystem created by the coral reef! Point 2 [The boundary between the coral reef and the open ocean is the entrance to a wide ocean] Facing the open ocean, the outer side of the coral reef where the swells of the open sea collide has a steep slope that drops off to the deep seabed, and the blue of the sea changes from pale emerald green to a deep blue. You can experience the large-scale topography of the coral reef and the mysterious and beautiful underwater world created by the creatures! Point 3 [We operate with the motto of having the safest possible fun!] We believe that the most important thing in activities in the sea is safety. In addition to the skills of the guide, we also have a lifeguard on the beach/coast, and we thoroughly manage safety. We have created an environment where families and groups can play with peace of mind!
