★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.

Diving is well supervised suitable for all levels. The ghost island is just superb, and you also have the boat tags to Taketomi Island to use whenever you want, not have to go the same day! Sebastien the guide is adorable, at the end he sent us the pictures he had taken of us during the day. Really recommend this visit!

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.
The time we spent is...

It was a wonderful view 💖 And Ryotaro's guide was the best!! They guided us in an atmosphere so that we could enjoy our snorkeling and bus travel time! While snorkeling, he would tell me more about the fish names, and if there was a rare fish, I would say, "Here I am!!!" He did his best to teach us that everyone can see 😂 While walking in shallow water on my way home, I was able to see a rare juvenile clownfish! Seeing them discover and share a little fish less than 1cm long, I could really feel how they were trying to entertain us until the very end 😌 I'd love to be a part of it again!!

The sea was turquois clear blue and I really love the scenery.. Our tour guide was also very friendly. She took our pictures so we don’t need our phone camera anymore and it was really helpful. I would like to stay longer in Okinawa, but I’ll just come back again some other time. I love Ishigaki already.
I'm very satisfied with that.
