Spend an exquisite afternoon on Ishigaki Island!
Landing on "Phantom Island" and snorkeling tourThis plan allows you to enjoy the beach "Phantom Island (official name: Hamajima)" which changes its appearance depending on the day you visit, and snorkeling in the waters around Ishigaki Island.
We will go to snorkel points where you can experience the beautiful sea of Yaeyama, so beginners and repeaters of ocean fun will be satisfied!
Phantom Island (Hamashima)
It is an island made of pure white sand floating between Kohama Island and Taketomi Island, and is called "Phantom Island (official name: Hamajima)" because it appears only at low tide.
It is an excellent location often used for filming for magazines and TV programs, and is a must-visit spot when you come to Ishigaki Island!
Full support by guide
Even small children and those who are not good swimmers can enjoy snorkeling with full support from the guide.
The fee is the same, but you can also choose to just land on the island and watch your children play on the boat instead of snorkeling.
Regarding baggage
Luggage can be left in the guide's car (or on the boat). Please take care of your valuables by yourself. (*In some cases, you may be asked to leave your luggage at the hotel reception or in a locker at the terminal.)
If you have any questions, please contact our staff directly as we will call you the evening before to confirm your reservation.
