Plan introduction( Sea kayaking & Turtle Snorkeling & Pumpkin Cave Exploration )
Here is a tour where you can enjoy the great nature of Miyako Island in one day.
This tour includes snorkeling at a beach where sea turtles can be seen, sea kayaking in the beautiful ocean, and caving at Pumpkin Cave, all three popular activities in the ocean of Miyako Island.
In the morning, we will go snorkeling at a spot where sea turtles are most likely to appear.
Our guide, who is familiar with the local ocean, will take you to the spot where you have the highest probability of encountering sea turtles, depending on the season and sea conditions.
The experience of swimming with endangered sea turtles will be unforgettable.
After a lunch break, we will board our sea kayaks for the mysterious “Pumpkin Cave”.
Of course, the water is crystal clear!
Enjoy the cruising while admiring the underwater coral and small fish.
When you arrive near the entrance of the Pumpkin Cave, you will enter the cave through a small entrance.
Once you get inside, you will be impressed by the mysterious atmosphere of the huge pumpkin-shaped stalactites in a large area.
The caving tour will take you up the craggy rocky terrain to the depths of the cave.
All non-slip shoes and other equipment are included in the rental package, so there is no need to bring any special equipment.
