商品说明

  • This afternoon snorkeling tour takes you to a popular scenic spot in Miyako Island where you can swim with sea turtles. This is an ambitious plan that allows you to arrive in Miyako Island in the morning and quickly enjoy snorkeling at Yaebishi in the afternoon. For example, even if you arrive at the airport at 11:30 in the morning and rent a car from there, you can still make it in time for the meeting time. The departure port is easily accessible from the airport and major resorts, and is chosen for its total travel time. The local captain will assess the sea conditions and take you to a point where you have a high chance of encountering sea turtles. Have you ever been to Yaebishi? Yaebishi (Yabiji) is a spectacular scenic spot in Miyako Island that you should visit at least once in your lifetime. [What is Yaebishi?] Yaebishi is a massive coral continent formed by eight huge coral reefs (main Bishi) and more than 100 large and small coral reefs (general Bishi), and is designated as a scenic spot and natural monument of Japan. The Yaebise coral reef (main and secondary) covers about one-third of Miyako Island, stretching approximately 17 km from north to south and 6.5 km from east to west, making it one of Japan's largest coral reefs. The varied underwater topography maintains a unique ecosystem, and a wide variety of creatures inhabit it, from large marine life to macro creatures, offering many breathtaking encounters throughout the year. Yumutsu guides tours with the goal of swimming with sea turtles in this spectacular Yaebise. Since the behavior patterns of wild creatures such as sea turtles change depending on the sea conditions, we are not bound by fixed patterns and excel at selecting points that match the weather and sea conditions on the day of the tour. Our captain, a local native with over 18 years of guiding experience, has many favorite spots that he knows. Unlike the assembly-line style of snorkeling tours that only take you to specific locations, our captain's ambitious style of choosing points based on the sea conditions of the day is satisfying even for himself, and is well-received by repeat customers. Even though we refer to it simply as Yaebise, it is actually a magnificent coral reef. There are many sea turtle spots, but not all of them have calm sea conditions. The natural world changes its appearance in various ways every day, so let's all look for sea turtles according to the conditions of the day! Let's enjoy not only sea turtles, but also the world of coral reefs that are synonymous with Yaebise! Giant table corals, which are now rare, are growing vibrantly in Yaebise. Sea turtles sometimes suddenly appear in front of you from the shadow of these large corals, which can be quite a surprise! It can be stressful for them, so please refrain from touching marine life. Let's not forget that we are being allowed to play in nature, and let's show respect for nature.
  • About the Guide Style – What kind of guidance will they provide?
  • Unlike many snorkeling tours that use a production-line style of guiding where you're only taken to specific locations, we choose our snorkeling spots based on the sea conditions at that time, which is why we're so popular with our repeat customers.
  • About store-based vs. on-site meeting
  • Our shop is a rare brick-and-mortar snorkeling specialty shop in Miyako Island. In the spring of 2024, we stylishly renovated our waiting area! We also have hot showers and hair dryers available after tours, so we can confidently recommend our services to women and families with children. The boat departs from Sarahama Fishing Port, right in front of our shop (20 seconds on foot), and you can immediately rinse off the seawater in the showers upon returning to port, making it easy to make the most of your 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 the captain's family home. Sarahama Fishing Port, the number one port in Okinawa for bonito landings, is the main port of Irabu Island, and watching the fish being unloaded is one of the highlights of a trip to Sarahama! Diagonally across from Yumutsu, there is also a restaurant run by the Irabu Fisheries Cooperative that is popular for its fisherman's bowls. After enjoying the underwater world with snorkeling, savor the full flavor of Irabu Island by enjoying local fisherman's cuisine.
  • Regarding safety measures
  • We prioritize safety above all else, ensuring buoyancy with wetsuits and life jackets, and our world-class certified guides will carefully explain how to use the equipment and provide thorough support throughout the tour. Even if you're a first-timer or not confident in your swimming abilities, please feel free to join our tour with peace of mind.

购买须知

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 full tour fee will be refunded. In the case of a change of location, the difference in tour fees will be refunded.

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 to take part in 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, we will not be able to refund any portion of the tour fee. Minimum number of participants: 4 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.
