Hello! This is SHINKAI Island Tours. [Plan Description] The appeal of the night snorkel tour is that it is easier to discover rare creatures at night than during the day, such as sea turtles, octopuses, sea urchins, starfish, and moray eels. Creatures that hide in holes or in the sand during the day become active at night and can even be seen eating. Creatures that are active during the day go to sleep at night. Fish don't have eyelids, so you can't tell when they're sleeping, but even fish that normally run away when you get close become so sluggish that you can touch them. Different fish sleep in different ways, adding seaweed to keep them from drifting away, putting a membrane around their body, or changing color, so try to observe their different appearance from the daytime. Staff will select an entry point depending on the conditions of the day and start the night snorkel tour. [Plan Schedule] 1. Meet at SOLAIZ Ishigaki Island 30 minutes before sunset 2. Check the size of fins, mask, and snorkel 3. Move to the point 4. Warm-up, safety check, precautions 5. Night snorkel tour begins 6. Ends in about 1 hour tour 7. Shower, change of clothes 8. End of tour [Safe and secure tour] The guide staff are local fishermen who do night diving and are night sea professionals. In addition to managing the safety of our customers, we will decide whether to hold the tour by assessing the conditions on the day of the activity. Children are welcome to join us. In addition, we will lend you safety equipment free of charge when you join the tour. [What to bring] 〇Long sleeves, long pants, top and bottom rash guard 〇Change of clothes, towel 〇Drinks
