[Okinawa Minna Island Snorkeling Tour] Experience snorkeling at a hidden beach with a spectacular view on the main island! We will introduce 3 recommended plans!

2019/03/10

As Golden Week approaches, we look forward to the pleasant summer season. When summer is in full swing, there are more opportunities to play in the sea, and beaches with plenty of marine activities become popular spots, so it is inevitable that they will be crowded. If it is too crowded, it is difficult to play, and some people may have given up on the chance to experience rare activities. For those people, we recommend Okinawa's remote islands, where summer comes a little earlier. Okinawa's remote islands have many little-known hidden spots and very beautiful beaches! There is a sense of openness that is greater than the standard tourist spots and crowded beaches, and you can enjoy beach marine sports to your heart's content. Among the many remote islands around Okinawa, this time we will introduce "Minna Island (Minnajima)". This is because Minna Island is the closest remote island to Okinawa and can be easily accessed by ferry in 15 minutes one way. You can have a lot of fun on Minna Island and then make a day trip to the main island! Even if you have no experience of playing on a remote island, you can easily enjoy your first remote island landing. This time, we have carefully selected three snorkeling tour plans that you can experience on Minna Island. Each plan has a slightly different theme, so try to find the plan that suits you best.

It is easily accessible, about an hour by high-speed boat from Tomari Port, commonly known as "Tomarin" in Naha City. Tokashiki Island, Zamami Island, and Aka Island are particularly popular, and you should be careful because you may not be able to get a ferry ticket unless you make a reservation during Golden Week and summer vacation, when there are more beachgoers and divers. Starting with Nishihama on Aka Island, you can enjoy many marine sports such as diving, snorkeling, and SUP in the beautiful, crystal clear waters.
