In the sea of Miyakojima, "offshore currents" (reef currents) can occur.
Once the current takes you, even in shallow water where you can stand on your feet, you will be carried out to sea at once, so be especially careful on days when there is wind or waves.

Elabaster (member of India's caste)
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.

Satsuma (heavenly musicians and protectors of Buddhism)
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 chose this tour when I visited Miyako Island. Unfortunately, we could not go to the blue cave because of the wind, but we were able to enjoy the mangrove and sea turtle snorkeling at a different location and were very satisfied. Thank you very much.
The pumpkin stalactite caves were very mysterious with stalactites shaped like pumpkins, just as the name suggests. The sea turtle snorkeling was very impressive as we were able to see sea turtles. It was so cute to see the sea turtles up close as they surfaced to breathe. Thank you very much for the guide "Kyahikyapi-nira-chan" who was in charge of this time and guided us very kindly and happily.
