• This snorkeling tour explores Miyakojima's popular scenic spots, the Blue Cave and Yabiji Shore. The Blue Cave is only about five minutes from the shop, making it a short trip to the spot, making it a recommended plan for those looking to maximize their time. The Blue Cave was my childhood playground. (Note: At the time, there was an urban legend that a giant shark resided deep within the cave, making it a somewhat eerie spot.) The sunlight streaming in from the entrance illuminates the clear water, casting a vivid, mystical Irabu Blue, transporting visitors into a world of wonder. At Yabiji Shore, one of Japan's largest coral reefs, we head to a spot where sea turtles lurk beneath the reef! Because wildlife behavior changes depending on ocean conditions, we specialize in selecting spots tailored to the weather and ocean conditions on the day of the tour, rather than sticking to a set schedule. (We visit three to four spots depending on the ocean conditions.) Yabiji Shore is made up of 100 coral reefs, large and small, and is home to a diverse range of marine life. As a local captain with over 18 years of guiding experience, we have many proud spots we're proud of. We'll share the charm of the ocean, where we've played and learned so much since we were children, with the islanders. We hope you'll enjoy our tour. As a local guide, we've pioneered numerous spots since the days when the number of tourists was one-twentieth of what it is today. Today, many of our experienced local guides are active on Miyakojima. Since our founding, we've prioritized safety and incorporated stories about local history and culture to create uniquely local marine tours. Thanks to you, we now have many repeat customers who have become like friends. Even if you're new to snorkeling, feel free to join us on a Yumutsu tour.
• About the guide style: What kind of guidance will you provide?
• Unlike typical snorkeling tours, where the guides only take you to specific locations, we do not follow a routine style, but instead choose the best spots based on the sea conditions on that day, which has earned us positive feedback from repeat customers.
• About store-based and on-site gathering types
• Our shop is a rare snorkeling specialty store in Miyakojima. Our waiting area will be stylishly renovated in spring 2024! We offer hot showers and hair dryers for after-tour use, so we confidently recommend it to women and families with children. Our boat departs from Sarahama Fishing Port, located just 20 seconds' walk from our shop. Upon returning to port, you can immediately rinse off with a shower, making the most of your limited time on your trip. Even on the last day of your trip, you can freshen up before heading to the airport. Our shop is conveniently located in the captain's family home, about 25 minutes from Miyako Airport and 15 minutes from Shimojishima Airport. Sarahama Fishing Port, Okinawa's No. 1 bonito landing port, is Irabu Island's main port, and being able to watch the fish being landed is one of the highlights of a trip to Sarahama! Diagonally across from Yumutsu, you'll find a popular restaurant serving fisherman's bowls, run by the Irabu Fisheries Association. After enjoying the underwater world through snorkeling, enjoy a full taste of Irabu Island with local fisherman's food.
• Safety Initiatives
• We pay careful attention to safety, ensuring buoyancy with wetsuits and life jackets, and our world-class certified guides will provide detailed instructions on how to use the equipment and provide full support. Even if you are a first-timer or not confident in your swimming, please feel free to join the tour with peace of mind.
