• You can observe the ever-changing daily life from a boat or from the water's surface.
• From sunsets sinking into the vast ocean to a sky full of stars, this is a completely different experience from the daytime tours. The sea at night accounts for 12 hours of the day, and a completely different underwater world unfolds. We depart before sunset and watch the sunset sink below the horizon, and if you're lucky, you might even see a green flash. When you enter the sea at night, what happened to the fish that were so abundant during the day? What about the fish that sleep in unique ways? Nocturnal creatures like shrimp and crabs, and if you cover the underwater light and fan it with your hand, you'll see lots of bioluminescent plankton! The sparkling light has never been captured on camera before, and this fantastic sight can only be seen with the naked eye. If the timing of the season and tides is right, you may even be able to observe coral spawning, and there are plenty of other highlights to see. You can enjoy an exciting snorkeling experience that will make you feel connected to the mysteries of the sea. A dedicated guide will take you on a small group tour, and all kinds of equipment are available, so you can enjoy the sea at night with peace of mind. On the way back, the boat will sail slowly, and you can cruise under a sky full of stars. Standing by the silent night sea and looking up at the sky, you'll be moved by the overwhelming brilliance of the stars.
• Green flash? Bioluminescent plankton? Enjoy a 360° view of the starry sky from a dedicated stargazing boat!
• Ishigaki Island is also known as the "Island of Stars" because it offers some of the most beautiful stargazing in Japan. All 21 first-magnitude stars are visible, as are 84 of the 88 constellations, and depending on the time of year, you can also see the Southern Cross and the Milky Way, making it an ideal place for stargazing.
• The boats are just a 30-second walk from the shop, and since there's no need to provide rental size information for participants, the burden on the organizer is significantly reduced.
• The shop is just a 30-second walk from the boat, eliminating travel time, and the Euglena Ishigaki Port Ferry Terminal is only a 5-minute walk away, allowing you to park your car in the free parking lot and head to the outlying islands. Furthermore, there is a wide selection of clean rental equipment available, and size adjustments can be made upon arrival, eliminating the need to collect rental size information from participants.
