Landing tour of Phantom Island in the evening is here↓
Plan introduction(“Phantom Island” Landing Tour)
This tour takes you to Hamajima, a 25-minute boat ride from Ishigaki Island, which is very popular for its spectacular view!
Hamajima is an uninhabited island floating in the clear emerald green sea with nothing but pure white sandy beach.
It is nicknamed “Phantom Island” because the entire island sinks into the sea at high tide.
If you land on this island, which is known for its spectacular views, you will be able to enjoy the openness of the beautiful ocean stretching as far as the eye can see in all directions.
The beauty of the island is such that it is often used as a filming location for commercials and magazines.
Various activity tours such as diving and snorkeling are available on Phantom Island, but this tour is a “landing only” plan.
For those who do not wish to swim, take pictures and relax on the spectacular Phantom Island, this tour is recommended for those who want to go to the island at a reasonable price!
For those who wish to enjoy snorkeling, snorkel sets can be rented for an additional fee.
Snorkeling in the Phantom Island area between Ishigaki Island and Kohama Island, you can see colorful corals all over the ocean floor and tropical fish swimming around them.
This tour is perfect for groups with non-swimmers, families with small children, and the elderly.
