Phantom Island (Hamashima)

The area around "Phantom Island (official name: Hamashima)" is shallow, so even if the island sinks at high tide, it is still shallow enough for safe sightseeing.

Surrounded by 360 degrees of ocean, it grows larger or smaller depending on the tide level. Take lots of pictures after landing on the phantom island!

The sea is so clear that you can see the ground even from the sea, and you can dive so enthusiastically that you will never get tired of swimming all the time.

We participated as a family and the children were very satisfied with the experience. The guides are very attentive and supportive, so even first-time snorkelers can enjoy the experience. The landing and exploration on the island of the phantom was also a special memory.

As a nature lover, this tour was a great experience for me. I was truly amazed at the variety of corals and the richness of colors. Each coral and fish had a name, and I really enjoyed how the guide taught us about each one. It was also a great opportunity to learn about the importance of environmental protection.

I was thrilled to finally be able to go snorkeling on this fantastic island that I had wanted to visit ever since I saw it in a magazine. I had no idea the clarity of the ocean was so high, and the underwater world was more vivid than I had imagined, too beautiful to describe in words. Thanks to the staff, I was able to enjoy the trip without any worries. I want to go back!
