FAQ
Kabira Bay is a protected area, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich marine ecosystem. Swimming is generally prohibited due to strong and potentially dangerous currents, as well as the high volume of glass-bottom boat traffic. These restrictions are in place to ensure visitor safety and, crucially, to preserve the delicate coral reefs and diverse marine life that thrive within the bay. Visitors can still enjoy the scenery from the shore or experience the underwater world from a glass-bottom boat.
On an EV Trike tour to Kabira Bay, visitors can enjoy a unique blend of exploration and sightseeing. You'll navigate the scenic routes around Kabira Bay and other picturesque areas of Ishigaki Island on an eco-friendly EV Trike. The experience typically includes a glass-bottom boat ride within Kabira Bay to marvel at the vibrant coral formations and tropical fish. Additionally, tours often feature stops at staff-recommended hidden spots for fantastic photo opportunities, along with a refreshing Blue Seal ice cream and digital photo data.
Kabira Bay is famous for its exceptional natural beauty, consistently recognized as one of Japan's most picturesque bays and designated a national place of scenic beauty. Its fame stems from the mesmerizing emerald-green waters that change hues with the sunlight, pristine white sand beaches, and lush subtropical surroundings. The bay is also globally renowned for cultivating black pearls and boasts rich coral reefs teeming with diverse marine life, which can be safely observed via glass-bottom boat tours.
Snorkeling is generally not permitted within the main area of Kabira Bay itself. This restriction is due to strong currents that can pose a safety risk, as well as the imperative to protect the fragile coral reefs and the bay's marine ecosystem from human impact. While direct snorkeling in the bay is prohibited, several designated snorkeling spots are available in other safe and beautiful coastal areas surrounding Ishigaki Island. It is advisable to consult local tour operators for recommended and permitted snorkeling locations.
Kabira Bay is located on the northwestern part of Ishigaki Island. Visitors can reach it by taking a local bus service from Ishigaki Airport or the Ishigaki Port terminal. For greater flexibility, renting a car or taking a taxi are convenient options. Many organized tours, such as the electric three-wheeled buggy tours, often include complimentary transfer services from various pick-up points across Ishigaki Island, providing a hassle-free way to get to the bay and commence your adventure.
To travel to Kabira Bay from Naha, you must first reach Ishigaki Island, as Naha is located on Okinawa Main Island. The most efficient method is to take a domestic flight from Naha Airport (OKA) directly to New Ishigaki Airport (ISG). This flight typically takes around an hour. Once you arrive at Ishigaki Airport, you can then take a local bus, taxi, or utilize the transfer service provided by your tour operator to reach Kabira Bay, which is approximately a 30 to 40-minute drive from the airport.
Visitors can explore Kabira Bay and its surrounding areas in several engaging ways. A glass-bottom boat tour directly within Kabira Bay offers a unique perspective on its vibrant underwater world without getting wet. For exploring the land, an electric three-wheeled buggy (EV Trike) tour provides an exciting, eco-friendly way to discover scenic routes and hidden spots around the bay and beyond, offering a sense of freedom. Renting a car also allows for independent exploration of Ishigaki Island's diverse attractions at your own pace.
No, there is generally no direct entrance fee to access Kabira Bay itself or to enjoy the public beach areas. The natural beauty of Kabira Bay is freely accessible for viewing and photography. However, if you choose to participate in specific activities offered within or around the bay, such as a glass-bottom boat tour, there will be a separate fee for that particular experience. Some comprehensive tours, like the EV Trike Kabira Bay tour, often include the glass-bottom boat fee as part of their package.
