As the name suggests, the water inside the cave is clear blue, and if the conditions are met, it shines even bluer reflecting the blue sky and the sun.

You can go ashore to explore the inside of the cave and observe the natural products of Ishigaki such as limestone caves.

After exploring the cave, it is time for snorkeling.

Swim in the trench where many beautiful fishes and corals are waiting for you.

You will be amazed at the clarity of the ocean!

This tour was absolutely brilliant. The guide was so kind and patient. As someone who is not an excellent swimmer it really did help with someone so patient. He was also very encouraging and took us to see some wonderful reefs.
Wonderful day

A wonderful day. Akari was a great guide looking after the group well with many Nationalities. The tour price is reasonable and all equipment supplied. Previous reviews of too expensive are not true it’s worth every cent! Thank you for a great day

This is a great tour if you want to snorkel over beautiful reefs containing beautiful fish. Our guide Yuki was excellent and explained every step of the way; he is an awesome underwater guide! Even my young daughter who is often squeamish felt safe and enjoyed the tour. The sheer amount of sea life I was able to see up close was breathtaking. Definitely recommend!

The one thing is that I had signed for a snorkeling tour and we wnded up doing paddle boarding. So not at all what I expected but still it was a nice time and the guide Ken was extremely nice and helpful. Can I suggest that your guides carry with them a first aid kit just in case.
