The most famous manta ray spots in Japan are Kabira Ishizaki and Panari (Aragusuku Island)! The reason why you can encounter manta rays at these spots is because they come to get cleaned (by cleaning fish)! You can see them circling around (called hovering) on top of a mountain in the sea and getting their bodies cleaned.

1日マンタツアーに行ってきた韓国人4人家族です。高校生の娘、中学生の娘と一緒でした。私の家族は今まで主にフィリピンのボホールとセブでスキンだイービングとスキューバダイビングを行い、日本でのダイビングは初めてでした。私の家族はみんなスキンだイービングに慣れていて、進行に大きな困難はありませんでしたし、普通のフィリピンツアーはスポット3カ所を回るのですが、このツアーは4カ所のポイントをすべて30~50分ほどフリーダイビングができて、水遊びの時間が多かったのがとても良かったです。特に3番目のスポットであるマンタカオリに会う時間は本当に驚異的でした。スキューバダイバーたちは水中で私たちのスキンだイバーは水面でとても長い間、十分マンタエイに出会えて感動しました。もちろん海流によってエイに会って船で帰る道に多少大変でしたが、十分に自然を楽しむにはできるだけの努力だと思います。カーフツアーのおかげで本当にいい経験ができました。スタッフの方々が私たちの家族の写真をたくさん撮ってくれたのも、家族の思い出をたどるのに大きく役立ちました。本当に楽しかったし、ありがとうございました。

★ Regarding "Request Reservations" If your desired date is "Request", it may not be sold out but may be available under certain conditions. (If it is an early morning departure or afternoon operation) After receiving your request reservation, we will inform you of the conditions and confirm your reservation, so please make a request first. *Due to rising prices, the tour fee will be increased by 500 yen from November 1, 2023. While enjoying a 25-minute underwater tour on a glass-bottom boat, we will guide you to "Hatenohama", an island made of sand and coral fragments floating about 3 kilometers southeast of Kumejima. The half-day tour takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes, and the stay at Hatenohama is 1.5 hours from April to October and 1 hour from November to March. It is recommended for those who want to visit other tourist spots for the remaining half of the day and those who have small children. Snorkel rental is also available as an option! ☆The charm of Hatenohama☆1: The main thing is the sea! The sea around Kumejima is known for its transparency, but the sea at Hatenohama is by far the clearest. You can even see the coral 2-3 meters below the surface in the emerald green sea. 2: Endless sandy beach The view of the white sandy beach lit up by the sunlight stretches out endlessly, giving you a feeling of air you can't experience in your everyday life. 3: A wide sky with a 360-degree view Since there is nothing around, you can see the sky that stretches out in 360 degrees. Just watching the cumulonimbus clouds moving on the wind and the plane trails flying high into the sky makes you feel the majesty of nature.
