5.00The children were overjoyed by the clear sea and lots of fish! The guides were very kind and told us many recommended gourmet foods and stories about Ishigaki Island on the boat, and we even enjoyed our travel time. Hotel transfers are also smooth and secure. We also had a lot of photos taken and it was a wonderful experience for the whole family to remember!

5.00Today my family went on a snorkeling tour. Gin-chan, who was in charge of the guide, was very kind and looked out for the six-year-old during the tour, so I could enjoy it with peace of mind. They took a lot of pictures and it became a lovely family memory. The sea is also very beautiful and the whole family is very happy. It was a fun tour that made me want to go again.
Go Pro was the latest and the photos were beautiful

5.00It was such a fun tour! The wind prevented me from going to the phantom island, but instead they led me to a hidden dive spot where I could see lots of fish in the beautiful sea. Jun (Shibata-san) took photos in various scenes. Thank you very much.

5.00It was my first time snorkeling in my 50s. I was anxious because I couldn't swim much, but I participated and was very correct! The boat ride to the snorkeling spot lifted the tension into the clean water and the anxiety disappeared. I was holding on to the float for a while when I went into the water, but after I got used to it I was able to swim on my own. Underwater, you'll be impressed by the beautiful coral reef and fish! My guide, Jumppei, photographed me underwater with his personal GoPro and I was satisfied with the service. After that, we also had a photo session at the landing on Phantom Island. On the way back, they told us about the gourmet information of Ishigaki Island and Taketomi Island and recommended sightseeing spots.

Snorkeling and the Phantom Island

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Dive from the top of an exhilarating ship to the beautiful blue sea. The seawater is not too cold and feels good. You can see a lot of beautiful fish because they park at the coral spot. They guide me gently, and there is no need to worry because I always float The phantom island is sure to be glad to see 360 degrees of emerald green
