Product Info

【Only 71 can take you ashore】 Panari Island (Aragusuku Island). This island is surrounded by the 'Panari Blue' sea, which boasts the highest transparency in the Yaeyama region. There are no regular ferry routes, so the general public cannot visit freely. Boats only make a special stop via a residents-only route on days when islanders are heading to the island. 71 has negotiated landing rights with the islanders and guides small groups. Other shops can bring you to the waters near the island, but they cannot land. Since 2023, there have been only 7 days where landing was possible. Dates are determined by the islanders' schedules. ■ Free Equipment Rental Mask, snorkel, fins, and life jacket set are all included in the price. There are no additional charges. Please just bring your swimsuit and a towel. Sizes are available starting from children's sizes. ■ An Untouched Sea Because there is almost no traffic, the transparency is the best in Yaeyama. White sand and empty beaches. Since you just float while wearing a life jacket, those who are not confident in swimming and children can also participate. If you are afraid of 'not being able to touch the bottom,' please let us know. We will hold your hand as we move. Guides will accompany small groups. ■ A Day Without a Packed Schedule Once you arrive on the island, we will visit two beaches. You can peek into the sea by snorkeling, or just lie down on a beach bed with a parasol. How many hours we spend and where we stay depends on the sea conditions that day and the guests joining us. ■ Exploring the Island Scenery of old Okinawa villages remains, and you may even encounter grazing goats. There are about 10 islanders, but they currently live on Ishigaki Island, so it is usually an uninhabited island. ■ The Island of Mermaid Legend The identity of the mermaid is the dugong. In Yaeyama, it is called 'Zan' and was presented to the Ryukyu Kingdom from this island. It was a special food that only the King could taste. ■ For Those Who Want to Dive As an option, you can take off your life jacket and dive on your own. You can also obtain PADI Freediver and PADI Mermaid certifications on this island. For details, please see 'Options' below. ■ Please be sure to bring your own lunch and drinks There are no shops or vending machines on the island. Please prepare them yourself before the meeting time. There are shops at the Ishigaki Island remote island terminal. ■ Requests on the Island There are areas where entry and photography are prohibited. We are allowed to land through the kindness of the islanders. Please be sure to follow the guide's instructions. ■ Language On-site guidance is in Japanese and English. Chinese and 한국어 are supported via text communication only. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 【Please check the official website for details on event dates】 Landing dates are confirmed shortly before the event.
