Ishigaki Island Blue Cave & Sea Turtle Small-Group Snorkeling - Hotel Pickup

Get picked up at your hotel
and head to the snorkeling spot

You will be picked up by car from your hotel in central or southern Ishigaki and drive about 30 minutes. This is a beach-entry tour where you walk straight into the sea from the shore, with no boat ride, so it is a good choice if you want to avoid seasickness.

Before starting, the guide gives a clear briefing on how to use the equipment and supports you in the water throughout. All snorkeling gear is provided, including a wetsuit in winter (seasonal).

Swim through the Blue Cave and coral sea

Snorkeling lasts about 1.5 hours. Explore the mysterious Blue Cave and get close to an underwater world full of colorful coral and tropical fish.

Swim with sea turtles

Your experienced local guide takes you to areas where sea turtles often appear. With luck, you can swim alongside them, always keeping a safe distance and approaching carefully.

Get your photos and choose your drop-off

The photos your guide takes during the tour are sent to you free of charge on the same day. After the tour, it is about a 30-minute drive back, and you can be dropped off at your hotel or in the downtown restaurant and shopping area (around Misakicho and Euglena Mall).

※ Sea turtles and other marine life live in the wild, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ Entry to the Blue Cave is not guaranteed and depends on weather and sea conditions. The itinerary may change depending on local conditions.
