Description

This plan includes snorkeling around the popular "Blue Cave" located in the northern part of Ishigaki Island. As the name suggests, the water inside the cave is clear blue, and if the conditions are met, it shines even bluer reflecting the blue sky and the sun. You can go ashore to explore the inside of the cave and observe the natural products of Ishigaki such as limestone caves. After exploring the cave, it is time for snorkeling. Swim in the trench where many beautiful fishes and corals are waiting for you. You will be amazed at the clarity of the ocean! Embark on an eco-friendly adventure with us, which our eco-tour is designed with sustainability in mind.

Better snorkeling tours are available.

We went 2 adults and a 13 year old. We have previously been on snorkeling tours in Egypt and they were better. This one was unfortunately a pretty fast pace, very focused on taking pictures of the participants, swimming pretty fast (stressful) from one place the guide directed to the next. The cave was nothing to see and was not experienced blue. When we saw fish, it felt like we quickly swam on. You go there (to the beach) in minibus ((no boat). Afterwards you sit wet and salty in the bus. It works, but no more.

Operator response

Thank you for joining our tour at ISHIGAKI ADVENTURE PiPi. We appreciate you and your family trying our snorkeling tour. You all did great swimming in the sea. We are sorry that the tour felt rushed and the bus ride was not comfortable. Your feedback about the photo time, the cave, and the fish is very important to us. We will work hard to improve our tour tempo and service for our guests. We hope to see you again in Ishigaki. ISHIGAKI ADVENTURE PiPi

​I was relieved to see the attention of the staff

Thank you for the wonderful snorkeling tour! Unfortunately, it was a tour of Blue Cave in the rain, but I was very satisfied to see a lot of beautiful fish and beautiful coral under the sea. In addition, the staff told us various stories about Ishigaki Island and gave us sightseeing information on the transfer train from the hotel, and we had a great time traveling. Even during the snorkeling, the instructors were very considerate of each participant, so I was able to enjoy the ocean with real peace of mind from start to finish. We look forward to seeing you again when you come to Ishigaki Island!

Snorkeling experience in Kanazuchi

I've never swam in the ocean before, and I've enjoyed Kanazuchi, which is only capable of flopping. Our guide pulled us offshore with a float and we were able to see a variety of coral reefs and fish. When I was first told to jump into the Blue Cave, I was very surprised, but I had a difficult experience. Next time, I will do a warm-up exercise before I hope.

An Unforgettable Snorkeling Tour in Ishigaki with Iroha!

정말 행복한 하루였습니다! 투어 가이드 분들도 모두 친절하셨고, 일본어가 안되서 걱정 많이 했는데도 불구하고 영어로 투어 신청하니 의사소통이 되서 정말 다행입니다! 차로 가는 동안 계속 수다 떠느라 시간 가는 줄 모를 정도로 친절하고 친근합니다! 특히 저희 가이드셨던 Iroha님을 칭찬합니다! 차멀미가 심한 저의 아내가 차멀미도 하지 않을 정도로 운전도 세심하게 해주셨고, 스노클링 할 때도 스팟마다 주의점이나 볼 만한 해양생물들을 알려주셔서 놓치지 않고 볼 수 있었어요! 그리고 특히 바다거북이!! 볼 수 있을 줄은 꿈에도 몰랐는데, 행운이 따라줬는지 볼 수 있어서 다행이었습니다😄😁 이것도 Iroha 가이드님이 먼저 말씀해주셔서 놓치지 않고 볼 수 있었어요! 종합적으로, 완전 추천합니다! 특히 스노클링 초보 분들도 부담 없는 코스니까 이시가키에 들르셨다면 꼭 즐겨보세요! It was truly a wonderful and unforgettable day! All of the tour guides were incredibly kind and friendly. I was quite worried because I don't speak Japanese, but thankfully we booked the tour in English and had no trouble communicating at all. The drive never felt long because we spent the whole time chatting with our guide, who was warm, approachable, and made us feel completely comfortable. I would especially like to compliment our guide, Iroha! My wife usually suffers from severe motion sickness, but thanks to Iroha's careful and smooth driving, she felt perfectly fine throughout the trip. During the snorkeling tour, Iroha also explained what to watch out for at each spot and pointed out various marine creatures, so we didn't miss any of the highlights. And most importantly—the sea turtle! We never expected to see one, but luckily we did! 😄😁 Iroha spotted it first and let us know right away, so we were able to enjoy the moment without missing it. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. Even if you're a beginner at snorkeling, the course is easy to enjoy and not intimidating at all. If you're visiting Ishigaki, this is definitely an experience you shouldn't miss! Thank you, Iroha, for making our honeymoon in Ishigaki even more special!

Operator response

Thank you for joining our tour at ISHIGAKI ADVENTURE PiPi! We are so happy you had a special honeymoon! You did a wonderful job snorkeling, and it was amazing that you saw a sea turtle together. Iroha is also very glad that your wife enjoyed the smooth drive. We hope to see you again in Ishigaki! ♪ ISHIGAKI ADVENTURE PiPi

Blue Cave Snorkeling Tour

Fujiwara no Kazemai guided me on a snorkeling tour of the Blue Cave. The tour was friendly but also calmly explained when sea snakes and big fish came out, which made me feel very secure. The restaurant they recommended after the tour was also very good, with quick reservations.

Akari is awesome!

Accommodated us with an alternative tour when our first choice was cancelled due to dangerous winds. Communication was very easy, even in English. All of the staff were friendly and fun. Akari was our guide while snorkeling. She was awesome. Kept us safe while showing us all of the cool spots at the Blue Cave. She towed 2 children the entire time…well done girl. She was very helpful with me looking for something that i thought I left behind. That was above and beyond her job and I really appreciated it. Highly recommend this tour group and Akari. Snorkeling at the blue cave was the clearest water and most abundant fish that I’ve ever snorkeled in around the world. Worth it.

Operator response

Thank you for joining our tour at ISHIGAKI ADVENTURE PiPi! We are so glad you enjoyed snorkeling at the Blue Cave with Akari, even after the wind changed our plans! You did an amazing job swimming through the clear water with all the beautiful fish. Your group's great energy made the tour so much fun for us too! Akari was incredibly happy to help you with everything, including looking for your lost item. We hope to see you again in Ishigaki! ♪

The trench is beautiful.

Blue Cave exploration & snorkeling. The Blue Cave feels compact compared to the cave of the same name in other areas. The main course is snorkeling. It guides you along the trench, so you can feel the extraordinary floating feeling combined with transparency in deep water spots. The guide is friendly and entertains you with talks so you don't get bored on the way to and from the car. We had several children participating, including ourselves, but they are very supportive and I think families can participate with peace of mind. It is recommended to take extra care to protect against UV rays, as sunburn can occur even in cloudy conditions.
