This was my first visit to Miyako Island and I chose this tour.

We joined the tour on our honeymoon. The Blue Cave was as blue and impressive as its name. The Pumpkin Cave was also too pumpkin as the name suggests. It was an experience that will definitely make us want to travel back, not only for the power of nature, but also for the kindness of the guides.

I was attracted by the names Sapphire Cave and Pumpkin, so I joined the tour. Both are power spots, and I was able to enjoy them while listening to the historical background from the guide. I would like to come back again.

I joined the tour when I came to Miyako Island for a trip.
I enjoyed the luxury of being able to take a tour of famous tourist attractions in one day. I was especially satisfied with the Blue Cave, where I was able to swim with an unprecedented amount of fish. I would like to participate again.

Unfortunately, due to the weather that day, we could not go to the Blue Cave, but decided to join a snorkeling tour with sea turtles. I was very happy to see the sea turtles closer than I had imagined. I was so fascinated with Miyako Island that I will come back to visit again!

After consulting with them by phone, they recommended this tour and I joined it. I highly recommend this tour because you can enjoy Irabu Island before you get there. The tour was a lot of fun.
It is unfortunate that there were no showers, but they provide water so at least you can go home clean.
Whatever the case, it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!

I had been to Miyako Island several times and chose this tour because I wanted to go to a place I had never been before. The Blue Cave was just as blue and mysterious as the name suggests. The mangrove was great because the wind was calm and we could enjoy it leisurely. Thank you very much.
