Plan introduction ( Landing on Phantom Island & Snorkeling )
Hamajima, called “Phantom Island,” is located about 30 minutes by boat from Ishigaki Island, and is a white sandbar with a total length of about 200 meters.
In this tour, you will land on the island and enjoy snorkeling in the area with colorful coral reefs and abundant tropical fishes.
This tour is recommended for those who want to fully enjoy the ocean in a short time.
Phantom Island is such a beautiful spot that it has been used for photogravure shoots and commercials.
Take a walk, take pictures, and enjoy the island in any way you like!
Taking a picture at this place will be the best memory for you.
The next activity is snorkeling in a coral reef area called “Sekisei Shoko”.
The waters here are shallow and so clear that tropical fish can be seen even without diving.
The waves are calm, making it safe for first-timers and small children.
Swim with more than hundreds of tropical fish, including clownfish, in the Sekisei Shoko.
The beautiful world under the sea is truly a natural aquarium.
When you travel to Ishigaki Island, we recommend that you visit the phantom island.
