What To Expect
The Famous “Blue Cave” – One of the Most Popular Spots on Okinawa Main Island! Inside the approximately 30-meter-long air dome, sunlight pours in from the entrance, illuminating the clear blue seawater and creating a glowing blue surface. With your Blue Cave Snorkeling Tour, you can experience this mystical and breathtaking seascape. During the tropical fish feeding, you’ll be surrounded by so many fish that you might not even be able to see in front of you! A fully-private tour for groups of 3 or more people! The shop is a completely private tour for reservations of 3 or more people! So you won't have to wait for other customers or the shop's schedule, and you won't be left behind at the beach! Since it's a private tour for one group, you can practice at your own pace! Recommended for those with children or those who are nervous about swimming!
