★Phantom Island Landing & Snorkeling

Phantom Island" is an island made of sandy beach floating in the ocean on the west side of Ishigaki Island. The name comes from the fact that it changes its shape depending on the tide level. You can swim with many fishes and corals in the surrounding sea! No experience necessary! Our guide will support you!

★Relaxing Sightseeing in Taketomi Island

Taketomi Island is a regular spot that most of Ishigaki Island tourists visit. There are houses with red tile roofs, Shisa with various expressions, and colorful flowers and blossoms on the road made of coral sand.... You can visit Taketomi Island, which still retains its old-fashioned Okinawan atmosphere! You can also take a ride on a buffalo cart! It would be nice to take a picture with the beautiful sea in the background!

★Embark on an eco-friendly adventure with us, which our eco-tour is designed with sustainability in mind.

We had originally booked a trip to phantom Island Taketomi but this was changed due to the weather. We got the opportunity to get the money back or another trip. We thanked yes for a snorkeling trip to Osaki Beach where we were picked up at the hotel our guide Akari. The trip was really good and we snorkled in coral reef with a lot of smaller fish, seafood and a single sea turtle. The equipment was fine and the guide telling and cute. Overall, we all 3 thought it was a super trip.
