FAQ
Yes, the Blue Cave snorkeling tour in Miyako Island is very suitable for beginners. The tour is usually guided by professional instructors throughout, and complete snorkeling gear is provided to ensure participants' safety and comfort. Instructors will first explain snorkeling techniques and important points, so even those experiencing water activities for the first time can enjoy exploring the Blue Cave with peace of mind.
For snorkeling and cave exploration in Miyako Island's Blue Cave, it is recommended to bring swimwear (wear it beforehand), a towel, and a change of clothes. Sun protection items such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also advised. Since diving suits, snorkeling masks, snorkels, and fins are provided as professional equipment, you don't need to prepare these yourself. Considering that cave exploration might involve wading, it's advisable to wear lightweight sandals or amphibious shoes, though relevant safety equipment will also be provided on-site.
The Blue Cave and Pumpkin Stalactite Cave tours in Miyako Island can generally be participated in year-round. However, the best seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these periods, the weather is more stable, with ample sunshine but pleasant temperatures. The seawater is clear with high visibility, making it ideal for snorkeling and water activities. While summers are hot, it's important to be aware of the typhoon season's impact. In winter, the water temperature is lower, potentially requiring a thicker wetsuit.
Considering the uniqueness and safety of the Blue Cave and Pumpkin Stalactite Cave, it is strongly recommended to opt for tours led by professional guides. These activities involve water and cave exploration, and without professional guidance, there could be safety risks. Joining a guided tour not only ensures your safety but also provides professional explanations and instructions. You can book such tours through platforms like KKday, enjoying experienced instructors and comprehensive equipment for a safe and fulfilling adventure.

The primary mode of transportation to Miyako Island is by plane. You can fly directly to Miyako Island from various cities within Japan, such as Naha (Okinawa Main Island), Tokyo, and Osaka. Currently, there are no direct flights from Taiwan to Miyako Island. Typically, you would need to fly from Taiwan to Naha Airport in Okinawa first, and then transfer to Miyako Airport. Miyako Island Airport is located in the central part of the island. After arriving, you can choose to rent a car, take a taxi, or use a bus to reach major attractions and accommodation.
The Pumpkin Stalactite Cave is a unique natural cave in Miyako Island, named after a large stalactite inside that resembles a pumpkin and is considered an energy spot by locals. The exploration typically combines sea kayaking, where you paddle into the cave entrance, and then enter the cave on foot or by climbing to explore its interior. The highlight here is experiencing the mysterious atmosphere of a cave, different from open water, and witnessing the interplay of light and shadow shaped by tides and time. It is a highly attractive experience for those who love unique natural landscapes and light adventure.
