Product Info

  • This is a jam-packed snorkeling tour that takes you to the Blue Cave, a highly popular scenic spot in Miyakojima, and Yabiji. Since it only takes about 5 minutes from our shop to reach the Blue Cave, this plan is perfect for those who want to make the most of their time. The Blue Cave was my playground when I was a child. *Back then, there was an urban legend that a giant shark lived deep inside the cave, so it was a bit of a spooky spot! Haha. Sunlight streaming through the entrance illuminates the clear sea surface, creating a vivid and mystical 'Irabu Blue' that will leave visitors in awe. At Yabiji, one of Japan's largest coral reefs, we will head to a spot where sea turtles hide among the coral! Since the behavior of wild creatures changes depending on sea conditions, we don't stick to a rigid routine; instead, we excel at choosing the best spots based on the weather and sea conditions of the day. (This plan visits 3-4 spots depending on sea conditions.) As a local captain with over 18 years of guiding experience, I have many favorite spots that only I know. I want to share the charm of the sea in my hometown, where I played with all my might and learned so much since I was a child, and convey the passion of an islander. Please look forward to it. Since the days when the number of tourists was 1/20th of what it is now, as a local guide, I have explored numerous spots. Since our founding, we have prioritized safety, incorporated local history and culture, and created a marine tour unique to the area. If you are a first-time snorkeler, please feel free to join us with peace of mind.
  • About our guiding style ~What kind of guidance can you expect?~
  • Unlike the assembly-line style of guiding often found in snorkeling tours where they only take you to specific locations, we choose our spots based on the sea conditions of the day, which is highly appreciated by our repeat customers.
  • About our shop-based vs. meeting-on-site approach
  • Our shop is a rare, dedicated snorkeling specialty store in Miyakojima. Our waiting area was stylishly renovated in the spring of 2024! We are fully equipped with hot showers and hair dryers for after the tour, so we confidently recommend our services to women and families with children. Our boat departs from Sarahama Fishing Port, which is right in front of our shop (a 20-second walk), and since you can rinse off the seawater immediately after returning, this is another recommended point for those who want to make the most of their limited travel time. Even customers on their last day of travel can freshen up with a shower before heading to the airport. Our shop is conveniently located about 25 minutes from Miyako Airport and about 15 minutes from Shimojishima Airport, and it is actually the captain's family home. Sarahama Fishing Port, which boasts the highest bonito catch in Okinawa, is the main port of Irabu Island, and seeing the fish being landed is a unique pleasure of traveling to Sarahama! Diagonally across from 'Yuumutsu', there is also a restaurant popular for its fisherman's rice bowls operated by the Irabu Fisheries Cooperative. After enjoying the underwater world through snorkeling, please fully savor Irabu Island with local fisherman's cuisine.
  • About our safety initiatives
  • We never compromise on safety. We ensure buoyancy with wetsuits and life jackets, and our guides, who hold world-class certifications, will carefully explain how to use the equipment and provide solid support throughout the tour. Whether you are a beginner or not confident in your swimming skills, please feel free to join our tour with peace of mind.

Purchase Notice

Regarding the cancellation of the event:

  • If the sea conditions at the planned location are deemed unsafe for a marine tour, the tour will be canceled or changed to a safer location. In the case of cancellation, the tour fee will be fully refunded. In the case of a change of location, the difference in tour fees will be settled.

Important notes regarding course participation:

  • *A doctor's certificate is required if you have any of the following conditions: 1) Respiratory diseases such as asthma or pulmonary tuberculosis (2) Heart disease (3) High blood pressure (4) Dizziness or fainting (5) Epilepsy (6) Taking regular medication (7) Diabetes (8) Have been advised by a doctor to refrain from exercise (9) Unexplained physical ailments *A doctor's certificate is required if any of the above apply to you. Please be aware of this in advance. *Participants are expected to be in good health for the tour and are responsible for managing their own health during the tour. [Notes on drone aerial photography] ・Flights may be canceled for safety reasons in case of bad weather such as strong winds or rain. ・Flights may be canceled in the event of equipment trouble. ・While we take every precaution to ensure safety during flights, there is a possibility that the captured data may be damaged or lost due to unforeseen problems. *Please note that if drone photography is not possible due to weather conditions, equipment trouble, or scheduling issues, a partial refund of the tour fee will not be possible. Minimum number of participants: 5 people

Other special notes:

  • Skin diving (freediving) courses are available for an additional 2,000 yen. *As a general rule, please request this by the day before the tour. *Even if you submit a doctor's certificate, we may refuse your participation. We sometimes receive inquiries asking, "Can I participate if I have a doctor's certificate?" To put it simply, there are certain medical conditions that will prevent you from participating, even with a doctor's certificate. The following people are included: ・Those with asthma or who have had an asthma attack within the past 5 years ・Those with diabetes requiring insulin treatment ・Those aged 55 or older with heart disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc.) or who have had a history of heart disease ・Those aged 55 or older who have had a cerebrovascular disease such as a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage This does not negate the doctor's judgment. However, many doctors who issue these certificates do not actually understand the unique sea conditions of Yaebise or the risks of our tours. Yaebise is very different from typical snorkeling from the beach. Because it takes place offshore, the natural environment, such as strong currents, waves, and wind, is constantly changing. In the unlikely event of a sudden change in your condition, we are not in an environment where you can be transported to a hospital in minutes. In fact, there have been reports of accidents where people who were healthy before the tour started developed swimming-induced pulmonary edema and lost their lives, and cases where what was thought to be a mild asthma attack triggered inhalation of seawater, leading to death. A medical certificate is one factor in determining whether you "may be permitted to exercise" from a medical standpoint, but it does not guarantee that the activity can be carried out safely in that area. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, the responsibility will fall not on the doctor who wrote the certificate, but on us, the guides who actually conducted the tour. That is why we do not make decisions based solely on the presence or absence of a medical certificate. We prioritize the safety of all participants, and the final decision on whether or not you can participate is made by a guide who is intimately familiar with the area. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
