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.
友人がマンタを見に行きたいということで、石垣島旅行を計画し、今回のツアーに参加しました。私自身はシュノーケルツアーに参加すること自体初めてだったので、旅行前から楽しみでした。 台風の心配もありましたが当日は嘘のように晴れて、ツアーを満喫することができました。 エリアによっては波が高かったですが、スタッフさんのサポートで無事マンタも見ることができてとても満足のいくツアーでした。初めて自分の目で見たマンタは大きくて優雅に珊瑚の上を泳いでいました。マンタを見たポイントは波が荒かったので、安全面から少ししか見れませんでしたが、そんな状況でも見させてくれたスタッフさんには感謝しかありません。 ちなみにその日マンタをしっかり見れたのは私たちだけだったそうで、ラッキーでした。 別のポイントではウミガメも見ることができましたし、養殖中の珊瑚も初めて見ることができて、石垣島周辺の環境活動も見ることができました。 冬期は水面マンタツアーもあるようで、機会があればまた会いに行きたいです。今度はちゃんと潜りたいと思います! ツアー中もたくさんお写真を撮っていただいており、友人とても喜んでおりました。
