What to expect
Slip into the crystal-clear waters of Ishigaki's famous Blue Cave, a hidden sea grotto where sunlight turns the water glowing blue, and snorkel among colorful tropical fish and coral with a friendly guide by your side. Then head to Taketomi Island by ferry to wander through the postcard-perfect Okinawa of old. Two unforgettable islands in one day!
Meet at Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal, or enjoy free hotel pickup from the southern Ishigaki city area. Your guide provides all the gear and an easy briefing, so first-timers and nervous swimmers feel right at home. At low tide the cave water is shallow enough for adults to touch the bottom, ideal for beginners and families.
Your guide photographs your underwater adventure with a waterproof camera and shares the photos for free.
The snorkeling tour ends back at Ishigaki Port. Round-trip ferry tickets to Taketomi Island are provided, but there is no direct transfer and no guide on the island. Explore freely at your own pace, strolling red-tiled lanes and relaxing on beautiful beaches, and return whenever you like.
A sustainable tour that helps protect Ishigaki's sea. Guides speak English and Japanese.
