Key Information

Description

This is a snorkeling tour where you can swim with sea turtles at a very popular scenic spot in Miyakojima. Have you ever been to Yabiji? Yabiji, a spectacular view of Miyakojima that you should visit at least once in your life [What is Yabiji?] Yabiji, which consists of eight huge coral reefs (main reefs) and more than 100 large and small coral reefs (subgroup reefs), forms a huge coral continent and is designated as a scenic spot and natural monument of Japan. The area of ​​Yabiji (main reefs and subgroup reefs) is about one-third of Miyakojima, and it is one of the largest coral reefs in Japan, stretching about 17 km north to south and about 6.5 km east to west. The undulating underwater topography maintains the ecosystem unique to Yabiji, and a wide variety of creatures lurk there, from large to macro, and Yabiji provides many moving encounters throughout the year. At Yumutsu, we guide you to swim with sea turtles at this magnificent Yabiji. Wild creatures such as sea turtles change their behavior patterns depending on the sea conditions, so we don't get stuck in a mold and are good at choosing points that suit the weather and sea conditions on the day of the tour. The captain is a local with over 18 years of experience as a guide, and he knows many points that he is proud of. It is not a guiding style that only guides you to specific places like an assembly line, which is common in snorkeling tours, but the captain chooses points based on the sea conditions of the day, and he is greedy, which is satisfying and has been well received by repeat customers. Although it is called Yabiji, it is a magnificent coral reef. There are many sea turtle points, but it cannot be said that "all of them have calm sea conditions". The natural world changes in various ways every day, so let's all look for sea turtles according to the conditions of the day! Let's enjoy not only sea turtles but also the world of coral reefs, which is synonymous with Yabiji! Giant table corals, now rare, grow vibrantly in Yaebi Sea. Sea turtles sometimes suddenly appear in front of you from the shadow of such a large coral, which is a bit of a surprise! Please do not touch the sea creatures as this can be stressful for them. Please remember that you are playing in nature and respect nature.
